The editor of the Times does not question
the integrity of republican or popocratc
public officers who ride on railroad passes
We do not believe any public officer should
accept a pass, but 1t is all a question for in

can ride on passes and not be influenced by
them, but the record says to the contrary
We believe many officials do ride on passes

Unless the services of the Third Nebraska
volunteers are absolutely necessary to mill
tary operations elsewhere it would seem
that there is a. speeal field of usefulness
open to them in Santiago de Cuba, The
misinformed merchants of that city refuse
to accept the silver dollar of the United
States except at its intrinsic value, as they
do the coins of other nations. The trhing
circumstance that this dollar is guaranteed
by the United States government has failed
TO overcome their objections. 1t would be
a graceful act on the part of President
Mckinley to send his late rival for the
presidency down to Santiago at the head
OF his regiment to argue with the recall
ctrants, not with the persuasion Of bal
and bayOnet, but with the stronger argu-
ments OF his eloquence and logic. Coone
Bryans Silver Regiment from Nebraska

slonary work among the benighted Cubar

SIMPSONS RIDE.

Willard Holcomb in Washington Post
with Apologies to T. Buchanan Ready
Out of the mouth Of Santiago bay.
Where the Yankee blockading squadron lay,
An ominous cloud of smoke uprolled,
Telling of how Cervcra bold
Was making a dash that fateful day,
Daring for freedom the deadly fray
And Sampson eleven miles away.
Leading the desperate Spanish van
The flagship Maria Teresa ran,
And crowding behind her jowl by cheek
The Oquendo, Colon and Nizcaya
Came steaming out in grim array
And Sampson eleven miles away.
Then came those maritime dogs Of war,
The terrible PlutOn and fierce Furor,
with dread torpedo and quick-tire gun,
Well calculated to fight and run;
But the little Gloucester bars their way
And sinks them both in the fearful fray,
With Sampson seven miles away
The Brooklyn, Texas and Iowa,
And Oregon, too. We're blazing away
In style to make the Dons feel tired
The Spanish flagship was quickly fired
And soon beside the Oquenda lay.
burning wreck off Cabanas bay,
And Sampson only five miles away.
Then Fighting Bob of the Iowa.
Took special charge of the VizCaya
And chased her along the Cuban shore
A half dozen miles or more,
Until she sank in the smoke and spray,
The pluckiest victim of the day,
And Sampson only three miles away.
Like a frightened stag with hounds in
chase
The Cristobal Colon kept her pace,
| But the Brooklyn baked her at every
turn,
| With the Oregon banging away astern,
| Until she beached a Cuban cay
! And struck her flag to Commodore Schley,
With Sampson still one mile away.
But like his namesake of ancient day
| Who thousands with his jawbone did slay,
| Bold Sampson came on the scene all right
! In time to claim everything in sight;
| And from his report it is safe to say
| He'd have won the victory that day
| If he had been forty miles away
