Its apologists hereabouts would have trusting omi reconciled Democrats to believe that Democracy in Nebraska is merely a ipmrantined ?'lenient ami has no relation or connec tion with the national Democracy. I*rom continued aggressions, we are .instilled in warning the Populist parly against Mr. Bryan's version nf "benev olent assimilation." Ami now comes C 'ol I i s P.

In both Stales hr lus marked for slaughter the incumbents who have fought bravely for the Canal through thick ami thin, ami wi.o are regarded as the Pamirs strongest friends. Huntington's transcontinen tal railroad would be I he principal suf ferer by tho building of this great ar tery of commerce, and there is little wonder that he is interesting himself in snell political ti Hairs as threaten his dividends. - M . m The miserable Philippine entangle ment bodes no good for the peace and welfare of the United States. Aside from the inevitable increase of the army and navy necessary to protect our dignity in ?l?e far east, we are about to become involved in one of the most gigantic foreign enibroglios that has ever held thc boards of history. Had it not been for our officious intermed dling and laud grasping policy born ol' a mad colony mania in tho canting guise of "benevolent assimilation." wo could retain our dignity and rest secure beneath the shade of the Monroe doc trine regardless of oriental wars and diplomatic complexities. We have, however, withdrawn from the shelter of this strong citadel and now with contending and humiliated armies in the Philippines, with trimble on our bauds in China and with a divided army-a mere handful in the aggre gate-wo aie hut inviting national dis grace and ruin every day we attempt to establish our sovereignty over for eign land. A teriible storm is brew lug in me orient. Kassia, France, and Germany are snarling at the British lion. The Cnitcd States, Great Bri tain's natural ally, and Japan must be drawn into the conflict. It cannot be cowardice in the United States to withdraw from the Philippines, and she should lind away out at the earliest possible moment. The people do not want to get into a lirst-class war while McKinley is the commander-in-chief of the army; they want vertebrate statesmen in national crises. mm * - mm It should lie a mat ter (d' shame to the American people that tho highest law making body has the distinction .>! be "mg the softest dupe to gold lu irk schemes and confidence ait ?lice of any green horn in the country. There are the pension steals, the appropriation steal--, the army contract steals, and tliecongressional salary steals. Of this latter class least is known by the un educated populace. The rule of the House of Representatives allowing to each contestant for a seat in Congress the sum of $2,000as expenses is wholly unjustifiable by any reasonable hypo thesis. lt encourages wild cat eon tests at the expense ol' the govern ment, contests that would not other wise be undertaken for the n ason that thc beneficiary, thc contestant, should be compelled to foot the bills incident to the contest from his private account. Wo recall an instance of this kind in which the contest was not decided un til near thc cud of the Congress in furor of the contestant who drew his salary for the entire time, while the contest?e had already drawn hissalaiy, thus costing the country tl>c full sal aries of two Representatives and the contest expenses of each. There maj' be some little justification in appro priating a sum to cover tho costs of contests upon thc part of thc contes t?e, but it is absolutely stupid to so'en courngo and foster baseless oontcstsby defraying the costs incurred by con testants. Certainly if tho game is worth tho candle, thc contestant should furnish tho tallow.

' Twas one of (ind's saddest dispensa tions when Ile removed from muong our midst tin; beloved form of Miss Addie Bowen, who, by her sweet and cheerful disposition, had won many fiicmls. Now as we, the members of her Sunday School class, take our pla ces, there is one vacant scat, and "tis so hard to realize the sad fact that we shall never again behold her among the number, for she was ever in her place at both Church and S nu day School and was loved by all (d' ber as sociates. Bul, alas, she is gone and is now singing that sweet and everlasting song around the Father's throne in Heaven, awaiting the coming of her loved one. We deeply sympathize with the lonely sister who ls now left to mourn I he loss nf her who was ever her companion. Ilecheerful face.and dispo sition, we know, are sadly missed in the home circle hy tho loved ones, but t hey can only look up thro' their blinding tears and say, " Thy will pe done." und have the sweet consolation nf knowing that they shall one day be reunited around the throne-one happy family: '.Not now, but in the coming years, lt may be in the better land; We'll read the meaning nf nur tears, And there, some tin.", we'll under stand.
