Lincoln, Neb., Saturday, August 4, 1894.
The war in tho Orient is the latest world's turmoil and Japan and
China are at war over the already dismembered hermit nation of
Corea. Japan is au aggressive nation and although China can out
number its array six to one tho Japs aro the best equipped for war
and the best fighters in the field of battle. Japan, too, has much
the most effective navy and it is especially strong in naval warfare.
It has been now nearly fifty years since Japan was at war, but in
tho meantime it has had at least one civil war that brought out the
fighting qualities of that government for in five months time when
the civil war of 1877 in Japan lasted, 1200 lives were lost. China's
last war was over Tonquin and was with the French. It was of
short duration and despito the fact that the Chinese soldiers out
numbered the French ten to one and the Chinese fleet was double
the size of its opponents, the French were easy victors. The inter
ests that all Europeans have in Asiatic colonies and the commercial
interests of this nation may lead to interference on the part of
Russia, Frauce, Germany, Great Britian and the United States to
prevent the spreading or tho war and the tremendous loss to com
merce. The fleets of these nations sent to Chinese and Japanese
waters would inako the most powerful naval demonstration ever,
witnessed.
During the temporary absence of the editor of The Courier
who is taking his annual outing in the Big Horn country, there has.
arisen an uncalled for amount of discussion over tho incumbent,
who, for a few days, acted as supervising architect of this paper. It
seems to astonish the daily press that things run so smoothly with
the editor absent. The boys have learned something new to the ex
tent that tho supervising of a society paper is not such a thorny
way after all. These erudite gentlemen have evidently labored un
der the impression that it requires a silk waist band, a trolley hat
and spike toed shoes of an acceptable tan shade in order to properly
conduct a paper that in addition to business and politics furnishes
tho society news week by week. Whereforo comes now eulogy to a
private citizen who ears galluses and black shoes worn at the heel
and with this eulogy the statement that the plebeaned costumed
temporary occupant, should have led the grand march at the muster
ing into the ranks of the tin soldiers of the state band.
And while the daily papers have their long cherished ideas of what
constitutes an editor of a society paper ruthlessly brushed aside,
they are ignorant of tho fact that a very bright young lady does tho
major part of the work on this paper, and she is not a graduate of a
school of journalism either.
It is to be regretted that the present republican campaign could
not be conducted on the broad and winning principles of the party
instead of with the annual injection of Rosewaterism. It has come
to pass, however, that the Rosewater issue has come and largely by
Mr. Rosewater himself who is making an issue in this campaign of
his trials and tribulations in tho national campaign two years ago.
As is 'usual in the washing of dirty linen, i.. fa tho common enemy
that profits by it all and in the present cuso tho exhibition of repub
lican inharmony will all tend that way. Tho admission of Mr. Rose
water that he demanded of the republican national committee 84 ,
000 and did not get a cent does not hurt the national republican com
mittee or the republicans of Nebraska. Thore was no such demand
answered and, as subsequent events have proven, no need for any
such demand to be made. Nebraska was all right without a dollar's
aid from the national committee. It is just such uncalled for de
mands and unanswered demands that create scandal in politics and
leads up to the belief that offices aro bought for a price. Tho ad
mission of Mr. Rosewater that his demand for boodle was unanswer
ed is good to the extent that it shows Nebraska was carried for
Harrison unaided by money aud by the unbiased sensible votes of
the people. If Mr. Rosewater would consent for one campaign to
subserve his personal prejudices and wishes to the wishes of the re
publicans of the state and honestly and earnestly abide by the action
of the party, he would have som3 show of obtaining to confidence
of the party. There was no need for an injection of the editor
of the Bje's pronounced grievances in tho panding campaign
and the Courier greatly mistakes the temper of republicans in tho
state if, in convention assembled, they do not remain unaired and
unnoticed.
The New York Financial Cronicle presents a table of gold ex
ports and imports for a period beginning with the fiscal year
1S31 and ending with the fiscal year 1S94, which, footed up, shows
that the country's net loss in the interval has been only about
73,000,093. This is the resultant of of the in vard and outward
flow of tho yellow metal for fourteen years, for the period named
began with July 1st, 1SS0, and ended with July 1st 1894. Sud
den and striking changes are shown in the movement in that
time. In the fiscal year 1831 for example, v5 importod 897,000,
600 more gold than we exported, while a year later the net im
ports were less than 81,S00,000. Net imports of 825,000,000 in
1838 were succeeded by net exports of 849,000,000 in 1839. From
July 1st. 1S92, to July 1st, 1S93, we lost 837,000,000 of the metal,
and from July 1st, 1893, to July 1st, 1894, our loss was only 84,
000,000. Our loss in the fiscal year just ended was much smallor than
was popularly supposed, for the reason that the imports of the
metal were heavy in the first half of the year. In the early
months of the calendar year 1S93 the outward movement of tho
metal was so large that it was ono of the leading causes of
the run on tho banks aud the general trade de session ami de
moralization. Tho currnet turned, however, in Jul, 1803, and
from that time until the end of November it was in our direction.
InAfugust our imports of tho metal were nearly 840.000,000 -greaternan
our exports. In November tho tide changed again, and
-iuco then it has been running out, though in only a small vohim i
in tho beginning. But tho inflow was so heavy from the iniildlo of
last summer to the end of the fall that our loss in the twelve
months which ended four weeks ago was only ? 1,090,000.
During the dog day season, the drain of nerovus and vital energy
may be counteracted by the use of Aycrs Sareaparilla. In purifying
the blood, it acts as a superb corrective and tonic, and enables tho
ssteiu to defy malarial and other climatic influences.
