LOCAL CAMPAIGN CHATTER.


Here is an editorial item from the Pa
pillion Times Of March 70, 1897, written
by Edgar Howard. one of the fearless fusion
leaders of the state, and one of the Nebraska
delegation to the national convention that
nominated MIR. Bryan
at is said that Senator Ed Howell intends
to return to Omaha at the close Of the
legislative session and become a candidate
for mayor on his record as a friend of the
workngmen. God help the workingmen
when they take to their bosoms such a
traltorous tool of the corporatons!"
Politics makes strange bedfellows even
in f. p. g. p. Here we have ]. H. Winspear
and Mel Redfeld and Captain Coyel all
working together for their "friend" Howell
for mayor. Yet 1t was only a few years
ago when Winspear as acting state presi-
dent suspended Covell and four others from
Council No. s. At that time Covell was
calling Winspear all sorts OF endearing
epithets and accusing Redheld, who had
been appointed to sit as judge on the case,
of being in colluson with Winspear. But
that little bear garden party held in the
Omaha National bank building back in 1892
seems to have been forgotten now.

"Tbe veteran statesman was on his way
back to Washington from Canton, where
he had conference with Mr. McKin-

or do anything which would make
peaceful government of theisland a charge

authority that Prime Minister Canoyas

EARLY in February Spain VIII Publish
Royal Decree.

AshAiy AZ spain Will u
Royal Decree.
MADRID, Jan. 16.-At q cabinet meet
ing yesterday, the queen regent presiding,
it was agreed to introduce reforms In the
Island of Cuba. A royal decree on the
subject will be published on the king s
fete day. Senior Canovas del Castillo, the
Spanish premier, declares that absolutely
no negotiations are proceeding between
Spain and the United States on the sub
ject of Cuba. He explained that he is ig-
norant Of the source of the rumors, and
only desired to state that they are COM
pletely unfonnded. On the other hand, it
is declared that early in February the gov
eminent will publish decree providing
for Cuban reforms, allowing as much au-
tonomy as the sovereign of Spain will
permit.
1t is evident that the government
wishes to indicate that it has acted spon-
taneously, even going beyond the powers
already voted by the cortes, which will
have to grant bill of indemnity for the
new decree, The reforms will show how
far Spain is prepared to go in decent
realization without surrendering any
rights or prerogatives of the home gov
eminent and of the cortes, in which
both Cuba and Porto Rico will have due
representation. 1t will also be seen that
in the reform of the tariff Spainis disposed
to make sacrifice compatible with the
needs of tho Cuban budget More can
hardly DO expected from conservative
cabinet and Spaniards will anxiously
watch the effects of this change of policy
in the new world.
The plan owes its origin to Senior Cano-
vas, and it is Il foregone conclusion that
the council Of state will approve the re-
forms

covering several months, resulting from

court here yesterday when Horatio w.

wife, now Mrs Treadwoll, of Brooklyn,

alimony, 1t resulted in practical victory
for the petitioner, as Judge Lilley gave
provisional judgment In his favor which
it is expected will be sustained by the su.
preme court. The decision is an important
one, as the court holds that second mar.
riage by petitioner in divorce ends the
payment of alimony. In this case the oil.
mony amounted to $3.50 per month.
