we have been to think we could have
worked it out in a studio this sense of
life, in art! Hear that milkman's

down the back steps; and God gives us
hope in the next generation! He came

brook, of Omaha, is to change his resi
dence to Chicago, is a source of genu
ine regret to all who have ever crnie in
contact with this gentleman who occu
pies a somewhat unique place in the
public iife of Nebraska. Here in this
state we are not surfeited with mec of
Estabrook's culture and polish, and
when we find a man who has these
qualities and is with ll a jolly good fel
low, we are in the presence of a product
sufficiently rare to be regarded with
rather marked respect and esteem. Mr.
Eatabrook is not a self-assertive man.
He is much less known than fifty or a
hundred infinitely smaller men who
manage to attract public attention in
this state. But where he is known he
is appreciated. As a regent of the state
university and as a guest of the Young
Men's Republican club, he has been
prominently known in this city. In his
departure from the state the university
will lose one of its staunchest and ablest
friends and Nebraska one of its fore
most citizens. Mr. Estabrook is the
most polished, scholarly speaker in Ne
braska. As an orator his fame is na
tional, lie is the kind of men Nebraska
could well afford to put a premium on.
Nebraska cannot afford to do other
wise than cast its full vote for McKin
ley in the republican national conven
tion. The distinguished Ohioan has
many elements of strength. He is a
perfect type of American citizenship.
He has the sturdy honesty, the out
spoken will, the unflinching courage
that are associated with the ideal Amer
ican character. He represents as no
other living man represents the aggres
sive, moving force of. advanced republi
canism. McKinley stands as no other
man stands, for the great principle
which the events of the last two years
have caused the whole nation to regard
as the practical basis of national pros
perity. But he is not a man of one idea.
He is broadly republican and patriotic
Major McKinley, for the sake of honor,
surrendered the accumulations of year,,
and elected to be known as an honest
man rather than ts a successful man.
It is something to have in a candidate
for the highest office in the country, a
man who is not only honest but truly
honorable. This candidate's character
is beyond assail. He will go into the
St. Louis convention the popular candi
date. Quay and Platte aDd the vote
buying element of the republican party
will be against him. It remains to be
seen whether the bosses can stem the
current of public sentiment and take the
nomination away from the man to whom,
logically and rightfully, it belongs. Ne
braska cannot afford to vote with (the
Quay-PJatte machine.
This is not an extravagant estimate
of McKinley. It will be noticed that it
's not said that he is a greater states
man than Blaine or a bigger man than
Lincoln. Ife has not been tried as these
men were tried. Thus far he has met
every emergency that has come in his
way, and there is every reason to sup
pose that the man who has served with
signal honor and distinction as the gov
ernor of Ohio and a member of congress
may be eminently qualified for the
proper discharge of the duties of presi
dent of the United States. McKinley
is a safe man. He is conservative, with
out being alow; sincere without being a
crank; patriotic without being bom
bastic. A new monthly publication has found
its way to The Courier office. It is
fin de siecle very. It is called "The
Lark," with the motto, "Who'll be the
were nothing more." We are, after all,
not at the end of things, so long as the
masses look at the yellow primrose
without thinking of Mr. Wordsworth.
We can maintain a hope. Art must
come out of the earth, and the earth
be plowed and sowed and reaped by a
sturdy race, before there comes the har
vest of conscious beauty. And why

Yvette Guilbert naively remarks that
'''Paris is not any more rotten than New
York." Of course there are degrees and
shades of rottenness. It must be grati
fying to know that New York is not
more rotten than Paris. Miss Guilbert
Lincoln's birthday has been accorded a
prominence almost equal to that given
to Washington's birthday, and it is
probable that the former will be cele
brated with more and more enthusiasm
as time goes on. Just now thtre is
more interest ic Lincoln and his life
than has been manifest any time since
the war.
Mr. Newbrancb, elsewhere in this
issue of The Courier, discusses hard
times in Nebraska. He 6peaks of the
scarcity of money as a principal cause.
Money is scarce, it is true. But what is
it that makes money scarce? For three
years we have been sending money out
of the state instead of bringing it in.
Just as soon as Nebraska is restored to
its normal agricultural condition
money will be plenty again, and times
