POINTERS ON PERTINENT TorICs.

Holdrege Citizen: The legislature has
passed law giving the Board OF Transporta-
tion additional power and giving 1t power
to also regulate telegraph. telephone and ex-
press rates. The board has chance to dis
tnguish Itself. but from the makeup Of the
board we would not advise folks to be too
confident Of any great results that will be
accomplished
Hastings Democrat: Those who doubt the
efficacy Of the depository law should come to
Adams county and see its honest operation.
The interest on deposits pays the salaries
OF treasurer deputy and clerks aud leaves
a surplus OF $500 each year This interest
was formerly divided between the treasurer
and the banks and was velvet TO them. The
depository law Is all right.
Tilden Citizen: Omaha wants the militia
Of the several states of the union to appear
as a modified army in a series of drills
and manervers during the exposition, and
seeing that Omaha has a knack OF coaxing
to herself what she cant coerce, IL is more
than likely that visitors to the big show
next year will be able to witness a large pro-
portion of the 100000 men comprising the
uniformed militia Of the country going
through very interesting mimic war.
Pawnee Republican: Senator Allen is to
be commended in his efforts to keep Ne
braska at the front One day last week he
introduced a little resolution in the senate,
which If adopted by the conference commit
tee of both houses will make Omaha the dis
tributing point for all Indian supplies. The
big Chicago dailies are up i'm arms and are
calling on their senators and representatives
to save Chicago from being despoled of this
bureau. Chicago is like the great big trusts
wants everything in sight

A MENACE To SELF-GOPERNMENT
The discovery that the salary appro-
priation bills passed by the late fusion
legislature were tampered with in transit
from the engrossing rooms to the gov
ernor's office and the items for the pay
ment of officials Of certain state institu-
tions increased demands the immediate
and serious attention of the authorities.
To excuse this piece Of smooth work on
the part of fusion legislative employees MS
accidental without attempting to fix the
responsibility would be Guessing over
what Is tantamount to bold robbery of
the taxpayers. The strange part Of all
accidents of this kind is that they al
ways happen at the expense of the state
and never TO its benefit Whenever we
hear of appropriations being Jug
gled, they are always juggled up instead
of juggled down.
But more serious than this is the ten
dency, which If not checked must in
the end undermine our entire fabric of
government If laws can be imposed
on the people by chicanery and fraud
different from what is agreed upon and
enacted by their duly elected representa-
tlves. popular rights are no longer safe.
OF what use to elect legislatures, If the
laws are to be made by irresponsible
employees plotting together at the elev-
cnth hour in the dark recesses OF commit
tee rooms? If legislative powers are to
be freely usrrped by unidentified lobby"
lists without fear of punishment popular
government is at an end. Ihe
fusion state administration cannot AFFORD
to rest quietly under the cloud of the
disclosures Just made.

PASSING OF CHARLES II. BROWN.

Kearney Democrat: The Democrat sin

afternoon of heart trouble. The writer had
known Mr.. Brown for nearly twenty years.
Oakland Independent Charles II. Brown,
one of Omahas old pioneers, an able lawyer,
and a man who has he'll all kinds of posi-
tons of trust in that city, died at his home,
Monday morning. after long Illness. His
death is mourned by all who knew him.
West Point Progress: The death OF Charles
III. Brown of Omaha removes from our midst
one OF the most eminent and Cors ,ientious
men the state of Nebraska ever had within it's
borders, and his passing away will be learned
with heartfelt regret by thousands of per-
sonal friends and admirers in every part of
the state.
Fremont Herald The death of Charles
II. Brown is not only a blow to his host
of friends in Omaha, but also in Fremont
and the state at large. His council will
be missed, his manly and sterling qualities
will always remain in mind, and his friend
ship Will never be forgotten. The loss of
this pioneer Is a sad one.
Mason City Transcript: Charles ii. Brown
a prominent citizen of Omaha and former
mayor OF that city, died on Monday morning.
Mr. Brown was leading democratic poll
tician of the state and held during his long
residence in Omaha many offices of trust
and honor He was a delegate to the last
democratic national convention. He has a
large circle of friends throughout the state.
Papllion Times: Charley Brown is dead
For forty years he was one of the shining
lights in Nebraska democracy. An honester
man never held office in Nebraska. The
very few ant-monopoly laws on the statute
books of Nebraska are largely the work of
his hands, he having been many times
elected to the etatc Legislature. He is also
responsible for some of the best features
of our state constitution, which he assisted
in drafting.
Nebraska City News: Charles II. Brown
who for years has been one of the leading
lawyers in Omaha and one of the most
prominent democrats in the state, died at
his home Monday Of heart failure. He
was democratic nominee for congressman
in this district in 1884, and was defeated by
Judge Weaver by a few votes. He was
mayor of Omaha for two terms. He was
warm friend to those he liked and never
forgot an enemy.
Beatrice Democrat: Hon. Charles H.
Brown of Omaha, a pioneer of Nebraska, a
leading politician, and at one time a candi-
date for congress in the old First district,
died at his late residence on Monday morn
ing, aged 63 years. Mr.. Brown had been in
failing health for several months and the
immediate cause of his death was heart
trouble and dropsy. The deceased was a
strong character in Nebraska politics, having
occupied many Offices of honor and trust, all
of which he filled with distinction.

elected them the best administration Of

without that cooperation much of the

THE CHEWING GUM FACE.
Observation on II Common Form OF
JawbOnc Distortion.
Louis Globe-Democra


A discussion has broken out in a Brook
lyn paper in regard to the propriety of in
Creasing the tariff on gum-chicle, the base
Of most of the chewing gum now sold in this
country. One side asserts that the manufac-
turers are making large fortunes from an
adulterated article and the other responds
that of the siXty-two factories established
since 1890 quite a number have retired from
the field. Objections to the gum-chewing
habit are met with the claim that it benefits
the digestive organs, imparting to some per
sons "the same satisfaction they obtain from
eating candy" without the incidental dis
turbanCo of the gastric process. All gum
chicle, If pure is derived from a tropical
tree called the naseberry, whose culture in
the United States is impossible, so that the
proposed tax of 10 cents a pound is de-
nounced as an outrage on American hygienic
interests. About % per cent of all the
Chewing gum is consumed, or rather utilized,
in this country, which looks bad for the san
itary condition of Europe.
Perhaps the result will eventually turn on
the question whether chewing gum is lux
ury, a necessity, or a medicinal agent It's
place in metaphysics has net been fixed. but
it is certainly worth study from that point
of view. There is evidently an agile use of
the imaginetiorj in the chewing OF gum
1t gives full play to the muscles employed in
eating without entailing remorse of the
stomach, II is mot clear that 1t stimulates
the intellect No great book as far as dis
tication Of gum -chicle A gum-chewer would
be at less torseXplain the fascination of
the habit 1t is form of occupation or a
sort of pastime, a mental and physical sed
alive, AS a substitute for candy it is not
quite as inpocent as might be supposed, for
manufacturers prepare it suchi way that
it is candy for few minutes Some little
time is required to reduce it to the form
of chewing gum, which bids defiance to the
tooth of time, and never goes out of active
service until it is lost.
The chief objection to the habituai chewing
of gum is its effect on the face. A perpet-
ual wagging of the jaws develops some of
the muscles unduly, and gives to all the
features an uLpleasan look of preoccupation
in task No play of emotion; no fine shade
of poetic feeling, can sweep over a face while
the most of it is engaged in rapid muscular
exercise. Its tendency is away from con-
versa -ional Improvement The gum-chewer
Is much addicted to monosyilabes. In the
bicycle face the dominant expression is anx-
iety; in the gum-chewing face it is a never
ending but energetic pursuit after the un-
attainable. At best the chewing of gum is
a form OF solitude. though it materializes,
and therefore spoils. an indulgence in the
food OF sweet and bitter fancy If congress
intends to go to the bottom of the gum
chicle question it will be a long time before
it reaches the next article on the list.

NEW IDEAS FOR FARMERS.
Many Imported Articles TINT should
lie Produced In This Country.
Il,iff ln ,nrnnrInn

Buffalo Commercial,
Secretary Wilson Of the Department OF Az
riculture a man OF Ideas himself as well as
OF action is doing all he can to get some new
ideas into the heads of American farmers.
Much has been said OF his practical efforts
to foster and encourage the beet sugar IN
dustry; but he rs also exerting himself In
other directions. and some OF his assertions
ought to be eyeopeners for the agricultural
classes He states, for instance, tnat last
year we imported 10000 900 dozen eggs, 49,
900 dozen OF which came all the way from
China, and 800 900 dozen from Canada MI
Wilson contends that The entire egg market
can be supplied by home production, and as
there is nothing whatever the matter with
tho American hen, there must be something
wrong with the American farmer. He needs
to bo taught the usefulness OF raising on
his own land a great many things which we
are obliged to purchase abroad for lack or
domestic supply. Again, the secretary wants
to know why we should have imported more
than $40 0G0 900 worth OF goat skins In The
last fiscal year? Is II to be supposed that
we cannot grow goats In America? The
fact Is that the American farmer has much

AN AWKWARD PREDTCAMENT.

The statesmen who are at the head
of the Canadian government have
learned something. in connection with
their new tariff, which places them in
a rather awkward predicament. They
have found that there is an obstacle
In the way of carrying out their loyal
desire to discriminate in favor of British
goods This obstacle Is in the fact that
Great Britain has commercial treaties
with a number of countries in which 1t
is stipulated that none of the British
colonies shall subject the products of such
countries to higher duties than are inn
posed on the products of the United
of these countries will protest to the
British government against the new
Canadian tariff, so far as the differential
feature Is concerned, and although this
has been received with great favor by
the English manufacturers. as assuring
Il large increase in their trade with Can
ada, it may be doubted whether the
government will approve n policy so dis
tinctly in violation of treaty obligations.
1t is somewhat remarkable that when
the Canadian tariff was referred to in
the House of Commons last week, on the
presentation of Il resolutions expressing
grateful and fraternal recognition of
the generous fiscal changes in favor of
British trade and labor" there was no
one to point out the contravention of
treaty stipuations involved. Neither
Mr.. Balfour nor Mr.. Chamberlain ap-
peared to be aware of it.
OF course the real motive of the action
of the Canadian government was to
strike Il blow at the United States. If
it is prevented from doing this by r2a-
son of the protests of Germany, Belgium
and other countries against discrimi-
mating duties ir favor OF British goods
it will place the liberal leaders in
Canada in rather humiliating position.
On the other hand, if the British gov
ernment gives it's assent to the new
tariff. with its preferential trade feature,
thereby violating treaty obligations.
Canada will be exposed to retaliatory
measures on the part Of other countries
and such warfare would be very dam
aging to her and probably proportion
ately beneficial to the United States.
In any event the new tariff policy of
the Canadian government seems pretty
sure to be disappointing. IF it result
to the advantage of British manufactur-
crs, as they expect, it must be at the
expense. to some extent, of Canadian
and Canadian labor. The
United States is not very deeply con
cprned in the result A London paper
suggests that the tariff act will lead to
negotiations between Washington and
ottawa looking to Il reciprocity agree
ment. There is very small probability
of anything of the kind. 1t is not likely
that any proposal for reciprocity on the
part of the Canadian government that
would be acceptable to the United States
would be approved by the British gov
ernment. Reciprocity between this
country and Canada can be regarded
only as remote possibility--hardly less
unlikely than reciprocity between Eng
land and the United States.
