The new railroad to be built between
Roswell, n. NJ, and Washburn. Tex,
to give the Pecos valley of New Mexico Il
northern outlet, should ultimately
prove of value to Omaha and Nebraska.
1t is stated that fully 10000 carloads of
cattle are shipped out of the valley each
year. and at present it is impossible to
ship them to any but the Texas markets.
With the new connecting line opened
they could be brought TO the Kansas and
Nebraska fields for feeding purposes and
to the Missouri river stock markets for
final disposal, and this will undoubtedly
be the result of the completion of the
railroad.

A Representative BODY.


Again the house of representatives, has
proved its right to be considered as the
conservative branch of congress. 1t voted
down the revolutionary Teller resolution
with every evidence of contempt for the
resolution and the men who adopted it. 1t
was the house that, i'm 1890, defeated the
free coinage amendment to the Sherman
act proposed by the senate. 1t was the
house that, three years later, in 1898. re-
sponded promptly to the wishes OF the people
and voted to repeal the silver purchase
clause of the Sherman act In the follow
ing year the house of representatives strug-
ged bravely to olrry out in tariff legislation
the expressed will of the people, while the
senate showed itself the mere tool of the
trusto and monopoles. and so mutilated the
house tariff bill that President Cleveland
refused to sign the measure.

1t Is announced that eX- Governor Bops
of Iowa, who has been politically silent
some time. is to make speech in few
days in which he will present an en-
tirely new proposal In regard to the cur
r2ncy question-one that will satisfy
everybody and put an end to differences
between the advocates of the gold
standard and those who want free silver
coinage, This Is important If true, but
really there Is little comfort in the
thought that there is no limit to the
proposals for currency reform. If every
eX-democratic official and every eN-
democratic candidate is to have Il theory
of his own the only salvation for the
people Is to follow republican leadership.

The national house has risen to the occa-
SIGN and has abundantly justified the conf
denCe of those concerned in the preservation
of American credit. 1t has repudiated the
senatorial repudiators branded as dishonest
and malignant the Teller resolution for the
payment of bonds purchased with gold CIR it's
equivalent with silver dollars coined at en-
impossible rltio and representing half the
amount of the actual obligation There is
nothing perfunctory or uncertain about the
action of the house, Its motives and rea-
sons were forcibly and clearly stated in the
debate upon the resolution. 1t was lucldly
explained by Mr. Dingley and other repub-
loan leaders that the tail OF the resolu-
tion," declaring for the coinage of silver
dollars, contained its sting and its dishonor
Not even Bland was able to make plaus!-
bic denial of this charge.

GAINING GROTND.

Ex-Governor Morrill, of Kansas, in a
letter to the executive committee of the
Sound Money league, said that the
sound money sentiment was rapidly
gaining ground in his state. Kansas has
had an experience in returning pros
pcrity which certainly ought to increase
the sound money sentiment there, but
she is not exceptional in this respect
Nebraska has also experienced almost
unprecedented prosperity and so have
all the western states that voted for free
silver in 1896. There is not one of them
in which present conditions do not sup
ply an incontrovertible argument for
sound money and for the maintenance
of the standard of values recognized by
the civilized world.
We confidently believe that sound
money sentiment is gaining ground
everywhere except in portions of the
south where there is scarcity of cur
rency and in the silver mining states.
Indeed it is highly probable that in
some of the latter it is stronger today
than a year ago, for it is hardly CON
ceivable that the greatly improved con-
ditions in those states can have failed
to convince some of the supporters of
silver in the last national election that
this country can have prosperity with
out free silver. But it is well to realize
that the cheap money forces are still
numerous and to fully appreciate the
necessity of keeping up an aggressive
fight on them

The Hon. Jerry Simpson and the Hon.
Joe Bailey should come to some sort Of
agreement in regard to the division OF the
fruits Of their thought. Here is Jerry talk
ing about dress ccat anarchy" Now the
great movement against evening clothes is
supposed to be led or boosted by Mr.. Bailey.
Is he going to allow Mr.. Simpson to take
thin movement away from him? We advise
Jerry to let Mr. Bailey tear the dress coat
to tattars. Bicycle anarchy" or golf
stocking anarchy is just as good a phase as
dress coat anarchy for the Medicine Lodge
philosopher. Anything tolerably meaning
less will satisfy him.

This act of the republicans in the house
clears the atmosphere surrounding the prob
lem of currency reform. Whatever disagree
ments they may have respecting a new cur
rency measure, it will be plain that those
disagreements have nothing to do with the
subject of the standard of values. There en-
be no longer any doubt that the real repub-
ltcan leaders are ready to make a plain, open
fight in the coming congressional campaign
for "the maintenance of the existing gold

Or MINNESOTA VISITORS.

The visit of Minnesota business men
who have come to inspect the eXposi-
ton grounds and buildings with n view
to arranging for representative exhibit
from the great stata of Minnesota af-
fords gratifying evidence of the friendly
interest of a neighboring state and peo-
pie. Minnesota has supplied Nebraska
with lumber, flour. agricultural ma
chinery and other industrial products,
and Nebraska will continue in the fu-
ture, as in the past, to be one Of its
most profitable markets for the staples
and wares in which it eXcelS.
The participation of Minnesota in the
exposition must manifestly prove of mu-
tual benefit. With the possible eXcep-
ton of Nebraska no state in the
transmississippi region has more to
gain in the exposition that will attract
millions of people from all sections of
this and other countries and will ad-
vertise to the world the vast and varied
natural resources and Industrial progress
of the greater west.
In extending n hearty greeting to the
members Of the visiting delegation from
Minnesota Omaha feels assured that
they will return home with most ia
vorable impression of the work already
accomplished and the magnitude and
prospects OF the great enterprise.

The Folly of Worry.


II you would live u happy, strong
and useful life, don t worry When
you are inclined to worry stead
lastly fight the inclination. Make
that rule and keep it, no matter how
pressing the temptation may be to
break it. A wise man said one day:
ut is worry, not work, that kills, Z
and the truth of his words has been
amply attested in our generation.
Faces that grow year by year more
worn and pale, eyes that are bag
gard with the fear of coming evil,
and checks that have lost the bloom
of light-hearted youth reveal the
burden Of anxious care which robs
life of its elasticity and Joy. The
fever and fret of the roaring, busy
city in which we live seem to in
crease rsther than to diminish. You
go about the streets and look men
in the face, and you see how all
manner of hungry desires and har-
assing anxieties have imprinted
themselves there. Now and then
Iin.the ssurging crowd, like Eift.of
light in a cloud-covered sky, you
come across a face out of which
beams deep and settled peace.
That is the face of a man or woman
who has learned the lesson of the
folly of worry.

The Tomb of Abraham.

But of far greater interest than
the pool of Hebron is an object
now inclosed by the massive walls
of Moslem mosque. The Christian
traveller may survey their exterior
at respectful distance, but If he
places the slightest value on his life
he should not try to enter the en-
closure. Beneath the mosque,
which these high battlements sur
round, there is a cave 1t is the
cavern of Machpelah, which Abra-
ham, on the death OF his wife, Sara.
purchased as family burial place,
nearly 1000 years ago. Here be was
also buried; and later, within this
cave were laid to rest Isaac and
Jacob, with their wives jacob S
body having, at the patriarch S re-
quest, been brought from Egypt to
be placed there by the side of his
wife, Leah
1t is humiliating to admit that
neither Jew nor Christian can today
stand beside the tombs in which re-
pose the founders of the Hebrew
nation. But such is the fact, for
the Mohammedans guard with jeal-
Gus reverence the tomb of Abraham,
for whom their name is The Friend
of God. " It is a singular coinci-
dence that such title should be
given him by Moslems, for IN the
epistle of st. James we read: "Abra-
ham believed God, and it was imput-
ed unto him for righteousness; and
he was called the Friend of God.
OF course no illustrations OF the
tombs themselves can be obtained
so long as such restrictions exist;
but one may view at least the en-
trance to the patriarch s sepulcher,
guarded by solid masonry and iron
bars. BY a special firman from
Constantinople, in 1862, the Prince
of Wales was admitted here, attend

RACINE, VIA June .3.-When the
Wallace Bros. circus arrived here
today and three large elephants
were unloaded, Prince, a monster,
became ugly, went on a rampage
and killed Joseph Anderson, the
trainer For some time Prince has
been ugly and Anderson had been
warned to hohble him, but he said
there was no danger. As the ami
NAL was being led along the high
way bicycle rider went by This
appeared to anger Prince and he
reached out his trunk and knocked
the wheelman over and proceeded
to demolish the wheel Anderson
prodded the animal and it turned
on him, knocking him down. Be
fore he could get up or be rescued
the big brute picked him up, rushed
up against a fence and crushed him.
He then dropped the dead body on
the road, ran away few feet, came
back, stepped on tk-sbody ara ran
his tusk through it, disemboweling
the corpse. About 1000 persons
were in the vicinity at the time and
they became panic stricken Many
were Knocked down in the rush To
get away, and in the meantime the
elephant was running up and down
the highway trumpeting and wreck
ing bicycles and chasing horses and
people in carriages. Anderson s
body was secured and taken to the
morgue. The circus men, after a
narrow escape from death, corralled
the Infatuated animal It took fifty
men to secure Prince Pitchforks,
axes and other weapons were used
before the brute let go the man.

ness is bound up ID the story sent
by Richard Harding Davis from
Tampa describing the funeral ser.
vices over the body of Weslie Brass,
a private volunteer soldier, who
died Of pneumonia.
Private Weslie Brass did not die
in battle. The inspiration Of con-
fiict with his countrys foes was
denied him. There was no shouting
comrades to urge him on to a glori-
Gus death. The glory of heroic
achievement was not to be his, nor his
last hours solaced by cheers of vic
tory, but he was hero neverthe
less, for he gave to his country ali
he had. to give-his life.
He was buried with honors be-
fitting a king, for he had proved
himself worthy of every honor when
he volunteered his services to his
country in a glorious war for hui
mainly
There is a lesson in the funeral Of
Weslie Brass for the youth Of Amer
lea. From it they may learn of the
love and respect of a free nation for
the humblest of her loyal sons and
defenders. From it they may learn
that he who wears the uniform Of 4
private soldier in the American
army and wears it worthily shall
share the affections Of the nation
with him who commands.
England never had greater hero
than that poor ignorant jack tar who
was captured by the Chinese and
offered his freedom if he would pros
trate himself before mandarin. He
refused, was knocked on the head
and his body flung upon dung
heap, but the spirit of that loyal
Briton makes the greatness and the
glory of the British kingdom today.
So was the spirit displayed by
Private Weslie Brass when he volun-
teered to face death in any form for
his country 5 sake indicative of the
loyalty and heroism which makes
the greatness and the glory Of the
American nation, and in the rich
and fitting honors shown to Private
Brass the country honored, not him
alone, but the whole body of her
volunteer soldiery who wear the in
conspicuous uniform of a private.
