The Only Legi innate Conclusion.

Frcd BcnSUgcr IN Lincoln Courier.
Sitting in front of the Capital hotel the
other evening "A. G.. Wolfenbarger, the pro-
hibition advocate, convcrscd on the all pre-
vailing topic in a temperate, sensible way.
He spoke in complimentary terms OF the abil-
ity and energy of Editor Rosewater Of The
OMAHA BEE and expressed the opinion that
that paper was being paid by the liquor in
tcrest for its fight against prohibition. He
added with unmstakable sincerity that THE
BEE was earning every dollar the liquor men
are likely to pay, that Mr.. Rosewatcr is
throwing an influence and power into the
campaign with results that the anti-prohi-
bitionists could not secure in any other way
with an expenditure OF IA like sum of money.
There is nothing startling in these state
ments. but it is a bit noticeable that such
testimony should have come from such n
source.
The truth of the matter is that Mr. Rose
water is n much misunderstood man. BY
thousands of people every uttcrauce of The
B ZEE on state affairs is supposed to be loaded
with mystic meaning. If a quarter of the
surmises were true they would keep Mr..
Ros ewater awake nights laying plans to
boost this or that politician into Office. If a
half of these guesscs were facts Mr.. Rose
waters time would be engrossed with Il
thousand schemes of assorted sizes and
colors. The fear of small fry politicians con-
iures up shadows that never had any sub
stance In Mr.. Rosewater's plans. The pre-
judicc and the ignorance of narlow-minded
people attribute mean actions and qualities
that would become themselves, but are
foreign to him. ] do not mean to hold up the
Omaha editor as paragon, but do believe
.o tod
He has stepped on the schemes and ambitions
of thousand men, and they have turned on
him with bitter reviling Hence the prevail
ing opinion.
Take the recent debate at the Beatrice
Chautauqua assembly between Sam Small
and Prof. Dickie for prohibition and Mr..
Rosewater and John l.. Webster against it.
THE BEE employed three stenographers to
make verbatim reports, and it published
both sides without abridgement and without
any attempt to color the affair. 1t is not
likely the liquor interest would pay to have
prohibition speeches reported and published,
and if the men in the business are really put
ting up to The BEE they would doubtedly
have given n good round sum to prevent
these prohibition speeches having the benefit
of TIE BEES great circulation. The only
leglJllilaJe CohcluSiou Is thaO MI hoSo""Uoi
published this debate on his own motion and
at his own expense. And if you will look
back over his record you will find that that
sort of thing has not been uncommon with
The BEE. Such cases make me feel prouder
of journalism and Of the men in it. The
spirit of fair play manifested by The BEE is a
newspaper virtue beyond the comprehension
of the average man, and Mr. Rosewater is
| even more of an enigma to the bgotry and
stupidity of the common herd

WAITING FOR AN OUTBREAK.
Troops All Ready for War in Guatc-
mala and San Salvador

CITY OF MEXICO, July 14-[Special Tele.
ing from Central America stating that mobs
are having almost daily conflicts in San Sal
vodor, but that no battle of importance has
been fought 1t is positively known that
Guatemala has 10000 armed troops Oh tho
San Salvador frontier but they will make no
advance unless an invasion of Guatemala -
attempted, 1t is stated that 40, 900 men Will
be put in the field by Guatemala within a
week and like number by San Salvador
Governor General Ezeta has published in the
Dairio Official of San Salvador a message
sent to him by President Diaz, and he has so
changed its wording as to make it appear
that the Mexican republic fully recognized his
government, when in fact it states in effeCva
that no recognition will be made of it until it 4
is learned that the citizens of San Salvador
fully sanction his So-called government. Not
one of the Central American states has
recognized Ezeta's government and will not.
The war cloud between Guatemala and
Salvador hinges on the proposed unification
Of the Central American republics. 1t
seems that the congress, of Guatemala, San
Salvador and Honduras have already signed
the law for unihcation as agreed upon at the
international congress, but Zeta desires to re-
pudiate the action of the San Salvadorian
congress, so faras the act is concerned. On
August 20 the representatives of tho three
nations already mentioned are called to meet
ut the capital of Honduras to arrange fora
new centralized government of the states in
question. If San Salvador is not represented
and does not take cognizance Of the law
which is to take effect for unifcaton Oh
September Is, it is more than probable that
Guatemala and Honduras will combine to
make San Salvador carry out the terms Of
the international contract and war will fol-
low. 1t is not probable that war will occur.
before that time.

the general Offices of the Northern Pacific
express company in this city were entered
by masked robbers at IL o'clock Saturday
night After chloroforming two clerks who
were in charge the robbers secured between
$1,000 and $4,000. A Pnkerton patrol
man, who was called into the Office shortly
after II o'clock Saturday night by one of the
clerks was the first to hear Of it.. The young
man. who was i'm dazed condition, told the
watchmm that three men with covered faces
had entered the Office presented reyolvers
and pressed chloformed handkerchiofs over
the faces of both himself and partner, who
was apparently still under the influence of
the drug.
The officials of the company this morning
admit that the robbery took place, but say
that the robbers secured less than 500.

In the list ofcandidates for governor there
is none better fitted for the position or more
thoroughly in accord with the reforms de-
manded by the people than the present in
cumbent, General John Nj. Thayer. Cover
nor Thayer has made an excellent chief ex-
ecutive and deserves the compliment of Il re-
nomination by acclamation. In long and
honorable public service of forty years he has
tried to do right by the people with little or
no thought of personal consequences, and a
review of that record would strengthen the
party before the public. There is no need to
fear what the ''machine' and lying politicians
would try TO accomplish. The people would
come gradually 70 know the facts and ma
licious misrepresentation would react against
false accusers and prove him tobe the best and
safest standard bearer in the field For gov
ernor, the Republican names the Hon. John
NJ. Thayer, the soldier patriot and citizen

upon the subject than can be found in all the

the liquor is consumed at one sitting and the
consequence is an increased amount of drunk
