War With Spain.

Just at present jingolsm is rampant
throughout the land, all over the war
fare between Spain and Cuba. This
nation has all it can attend to at home
without mixing up with the troubles
of other nations. War is destructive,
demoralizing, and cruel. Civilization
should be progressive, and this nation
with strength, wealth and learning
should be a peace mediator instead OF
getting embroiled in a war with a
third rate power like Spain, over a
question in which our interests except
those Of a sympathetic nature, are
not in any way involved. The dallies
bring us tales Of destruction and foul
dealing upon both sides Of the con-
hict in Cuba. One day the royalists
are charged with all sorts Of crime'
the next tales Of murder, waste and
butchery are told Of the Cubans.
War means loss of life, Of property,
and in case of conflict with weaker
powers the loss Of honor. When the
ma ton of ITSELF is directly interested,
no life ID too sacred, no treasure too
precious, to spend in unfolding our
government. Suppose we help Cuba,
and the island becomes nation, the
United States is then in measure
responsible for that government.
Should other countries, say a DEEPEN
denCy of England seek freedom, we
must by the precedent set, help it
out, and war again ensues, and 80 I'M
til the South American countries be-
come all free nations. The task is
too great, for this nation, strong as it
is. The Monroe doctrine is one OF
the cardinal principles Of this gov
eminent, and should be upheld, but
further than that this government
should not go. Peace has many VIC
tories greater than those of war.

The "BIind Staggers. "

At our request I. M. Hedrick, V s.,
writes as below to the readers of The
BEACON. Mr.. Hsdrick has dlssected
five horses which have died of blind
stsggers within the past week or two,
and has found exactly the same con-
ditions to exist in each, especially as
to the dstended stomach and impact
ed bowels. Read carefully what Mr..
Hedrick has to say:
LINCOLN December Is
ED BEACON The prevailing fatal
epidemic among the horses is blind
staggers, which l diagnose as follows:
1t is, first an attack of acute indi-
gestion, From overlooking the stom-
ach digestion is arrested aud fermen-
tation sets in, The consequent giving
off Of carbonic acid gas dlstends the
stomach and bowels, causing them to
intrude on the space allotted to the
heart and lungs. The latter are thus
deprived of the power of aerating the
blood, thereby directly affecting the
action of the brain.
l find that horses that do not do
their regular work and are heavily
fed are the ones that are most subject
to the disease.
The remedy is to give the horse
something that will aid digestion and
act on the blood and liver.

The Christmas Time.

Just now the world is bubbling over
with the charity, peace and good will
of Christmas In church and home
circles elaborate preparations are be-
ing made for the observance of the
worlds annual HOLIDAY. The past
year has not produced much that tends
to mans happiness. There has been
much Of suffering, Of want, and OF
anxiety to many. The trend Of that
which we produce is In price down
ward, that which we in our necessity
purchase, upward Yet mankind is
ever hopeful, and we live on in the
hope that the future has in store for
us, better times. 1t Is right that the
spirit of the holiday season should
prevail, not only during the few clos
ing days Of December, but through
out the entire year. II the lessons of
the day make us better citizens, no
labor however great is lost. Spas
modlc christian peace and good will
however 10 not what the world needs.
1t wants a genuine application of the
golden rule: "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you.p May
the spirit Of brotherly love prevail
throughout the world.
In this spirit the HERALD wishes
its reader, where ever they may be,
at home or in foreign lands, whether
in homes of plenty or in the sod house
or dugout of western Kansas, a Merry
Christmas and a Happy, Happy New
Year.

Sound Honey Plate.

We are in receipt of circular
letter from the Reform Club of New
York offering to furnish sound ~
money plate free. The following is a
portion of the offer.
$50 long as a considerable minority
Of our citizens are not certain that
our present standard Of value is su-
perior to that of Mexico and other
silver standard countries; while they
believe that we can, by free coinage
legislation, double the price of silver;
while they think that fiat money, or
more money Of any kind will bring
about prosperity; or while they are
unable to see that by voting to repu-
diate honestly incurred debts they
are cursing themselves, their state
and their country, there is great need
Of education on the fundamental
principles of money and currency.
The committee proposes to continue
the fight for honest money until the
ranks of the free silver and fiat
money forces are 80 thin that they
will not be q barrier to industry and
prosperity.
This committee expects to take up
at once the work left off just before
election. 1t will endeavor not only
to decrease the number of free coin
age advocates, but to increase the
number of those who favor better
banking and currency laws. During
this winter and spring we shall prob
ably issue page of Sound Currency
plates every three weeks through the
American Press Association and the
A. N. Kellogg Newspaper Company;
probably also through one or two of
the other plate associations which
have been supplying our plates
Should we do so we will offer plates
to you free of cost If you will agree
to pay transportation charges and
either to put US on your exchange
list or send us copies of yur paper
containing such matter as you may
print"
It will be noted that the committee
has a big contract on hand. As an
evidence of the way the free silver
cause is passing away, it should be
noted that the first election held since
the national election was at Lynn,
Mass, recently. In November the
city went for Mckinley by 5000, this
week it went the other way 1,700
If that ratio of increase keeps up the
Reform Club will have to furnish
many columns of plate in missionary
work before it aceomplishes its pur-
pose.
Incidentally it may be remarked
that a majority of free silver men
believe that money is simply q crea-
ture of law. II the Reform Club can
convince these people that money is
an accident based upon a law of
supply and demand, that keep both
equal, there labOrs for sound ~
money will be made easier. This
Reform Club is also 10 favor of free
trade or the democratic idea of the
tariff. A vast majority of the repub-
licsn papers believe that the club is
in error upon that point. If so may
it not be upon currenoy2

The investigation of the gigantic
eastern railway trust, known as the
Joint Traffic association, was begun
before the senate committee on inter
state commerce in Washington last
week. District Attorney McFarlane
of New York was examined regarding
the trust resolution introduced by
Senator Chandler. The resolution
directed the committee to inquire
whether the existing agreement OF
the Joint Traffic association provides
against competition by q stipulation
that every railroad company which is
a Iarty thereto shall make and MAIN
tain such transportation rates as may
be prescribed by the board Of man.
ayers and provides for enforcing
such stipulation by fines; TO inquire
whether such stipulation is a viola
ton of the prohibition Of the law
of congress against the pooling Of
freights or the division Of earnings
by interstate railroads; to inquire
concerning the litigation pending in
the southern district of New York
regarding the agreement, and wheth-
or any legislation is needed to ex.
pedite the proceedings and to enforce
any violated provision Of law against
the Joint Traffic association.
q The resolution also directed the
committee to investigate charges that
apooling trust agreement with money
fines against yiolators Of the agree
ment and fixed rates for products
exist among the flour mlllers and
window glass manufacturers of the
country, and whether or not they are
in violation of the law. Mr.. McFar.
lane explained his arguments and
briefs in The suits which he conducted
against the Joint Traffic association
IL the Joint Traffic association il
found to be Q legal combine, it is ex'
pected that its power will be extend
ed until it includes all Of the prlnci'
pal railroads from the AtiGHtic to the
Pacific ocean. Such combinstlou
would materially reduce the opperat.
ing expenses Of the railroads and
would increase their revenues at the
expense Of the public. The agree
ment of the nSw Western Freight as
sociation is formed along the lines Of
that of the Joint Traffic association
1t is working well, and IS considered
to be the entering wedge to the or
ganization of big freight and pas
