ate of the United States. Allen is one
of the foremost champions of a party
In the last stage of Its decadence. He
is a large man with a good heart. He
Is patriotic, naturally, and he would
like to be loyal to the Interests of Ne
braska. He joined the populist party
-without accepting all of its vagaries
that Is to make the name of Thurston
rank with that of Blaine and the fore
most men of the republican party. The
bitterest disappointment he ever ex
perienced was when William Vincent
Allen carried away the prize that had
been almost within his grasp In 1893;
when the treachery of a republican
representative from Gage county took
the senatorshlp from the republicans
and he occupies as a populist senator and gave It to the populists. At the
make to the city council, and the ex
hortations they occasionally address to
voters, have not much force upon the
council or upon the people at large.
As a preacher Mr. Hewitt Is scholar
ly and eloquent. Columbus, Ohio, is a
college town and further east than
Lincoln, but Mr. Hewitt can preach his
Lincoln sermons and the Columbus
men, women and students will not miss,
from them the ripe culture to which
they are probably accustomed.
The students of the state university
are preparing a petition to the board
of regents to allow them the use of
the armory for dancing parties. There
lacks a good reason why they should
not have It. There are many why they
should. The armory was built for the
students. If the student body wish to
use It in any healthful innocent way
they should not be prevented. They
themselves should be the judge of what
Is healthful and innocent. If 13,000 out
of the 15,000 declare that they consider
dancing a beneficial recreation, then
dancing is good and not bad. Students
are severe critics of themselves as well
as of others. There are vicious ones
among them, but there are not 13,000
vicious out of 15,000. The request of
so large a majority is a righteous one.
It appears that Mr. Rosewater was
In the east this week to secure the pay
ment of a 12000 claim for services ren
dered the National republican commit
tee through the Omaha Bee In the cam
paign of 1S92. This is reported on the
authority of Mr. Annin, Washington
correspondent of the State Journal,
who has the merit of sometimes telling
the truth. In all probability it is true,
but it is a fact well known that Mr.
Rosewater is not living this life and
publishing the Bee simply for the fun
of the thing. It is doubtful if in re
cent years, Mr. Rosewater has taken
money,, directly, for advocating or op
posnlg measures or men; but the
smoothness of this able journalist cov
ers a number of artifices that may be
said to beat the devil about the stump
In a most effective manner. For In
stance Mr. Rosewater may take a few
reefs in the Bee's main sheet for the
sake of a $10,000 annual rental fee from
the department of the Platte. Or he
may do certain things with the under
standing that he is to be appointed
special commissioner of the postal de
partment of the government. He may
promise to support the republican par
ty in Nebraska in a certain campaign
in consideration of the subsequent pay
ment to him of $2000 for "moneys ex
pended upon the authorization of
Chairman Carter." It is very like Mr.
Rosewater to keep both eyes glued to
the main chance. But if the editor of
the Bee should get any money from
the National republican committee for
the Bee's support it would be obtaining
money under false pretenses. In the
campaign of 1892, as in the recent cam
paigns, Mr. Rosewater and the Bee op
posed the republican ticket republican
candidates for congress. It is not prob
able that the "mcst influential man in
Nebraska" will get his $2000.
Mr. Annin said Senators Allen and
Thurston made a striking appearance
as they walked arm in arm to the vice-
president's desk at the opening of con
gress. "Each was clad In a new suit
of black. Each wore gold spectacles
and each held his disengaged hand be
hind his back as he walked up the cen
ter aisle. Each of them is over six
feet tall."
Thurston must have grown somesince
he went to Washington to become a
senator. Here In Nebraska, as a law
yer and an officer of the Union Pacific
railroad company, he was not "over six
feet tall." It may be that senatorial
dignity adds inches to one's height. The
Journal's correspondent found some
points of similarity in the appearance
of the two senators, points confined
to their height, their gold spectacles
and the clothes they wore.
Whatever may be their resemblance
in these inconsequential details, there is
little In common between these two
men, both important figures in the sen-
a false position. He would like to do
many things that he cannot do on ac
count of his political affiliations. He
does many things on account of his
political affillatlson that he does not
like to do. Alien is made to play the
role of an unwilling hypocrite. He
has considerable influence in the senate
and is shown some respect in Washing
ton. Occasionally he drinks too much
and smashes things.
Men have a habit of saying with
their throats full of lumps, "this is the
happiest and proudest moment of my
life." When John M. Thurston took
the oath of office as United States sen
ator he did not say these words: but
if any man was ever proud and happy
he was at that moment. And Mrs.
Thurston as she gazed on the scene
how she muBt have fluttered and cried
with joy! Mr. Thurston is on of the
most ambitious men In this country
certainly the most ambitious of all Ne
braskans. For years he has looked
forward to his election to the United
States senate as something bound to
come. He has regarded the senate, or
rather his entry to It, as the threshold
of a great political career, a career
session of '93 there was a vigorous con
test for the nomination for senator by
the republican caucus. The night
Thurston was nominated It was
thought the republicans would control
the election. The caucus was held in
the committee room of the Lincoln ho
tel and while it was in session Mr.
Thurston was walking up and down
In the lobby. He said to me: "I will
be nominated before eleven o'clock, and
I expect to be elected by the legisla
ture. I went into this fight at this
time against my own Judgment, but I
am glad now that I allowed my name
to be used. There is a better chance
for a republican to make a name In
the senate now than there has been
for years. The old party leaders are,
many of them gone, and the fact that
the democrats are In power is an ad
ditional reason why I want to be elect
ed now." But fate and Representative
Laldlow willed it otherwise. If there
was a chance for an aggressive repub
lican senator to make a name then
there is a better chance now. Cleve
land is still president. Pending do
mestic and foreign difficulties afforded
a suitable opportunity for the exploit
ation of the sentiment of Americanism
that Thurston knows so well how to
express.
Mr. Thurston's ambition extends be-
