According to the vOraCious popOcrauc
organ that man Rosewater must be a
holy terror. He Is not only omnipotent,
but omniscient. He is raising smash in
Omaha and sheol in Washington Lin
coin and Falls City.
He is an awful man to contend with,
that man Rosewater, and children are
frightened at the mere mention of his
name. He is a walking stick of dyna-
mite and floating torpedo, all in one.
He enjoys torturing aristocratic candi-
dates and subsists on roasted Chestnuts
fabricated expressly by the Fakcry. He
is a bloodthirsty tyrant who delights in
making life burden to the men whose
ambition is to soar aloft and display
their heaven-born genius to low-bred
mortals born to work on the farm and
in the factory. He is the ogre that has
hypnotized the silverite members of the
United States senate at Washington and
compelled them against their own in
clination to wire Governor Poynter to
reinstate Allen in the seat made vacant
by the death of Hayward, and by the
same sign induced Bryan to saw wood
down in Texas.
This fiend, gifted with the powers of
Satan, at the same instant mesmerized
the four popocratic congressman from
Nebraska by telepathy. He has forced
Attorney General Smyth to so far for
get his obligations to his A. =. A.
friends in the World-Herald office as to
bring direct pressure to bear on Gov
ernor Poynter in favor of William V.
Allen and against the man who had emu
lated the illustrious example of Louis
Philip in the French revolution by re.
pudiating the nobility and joining the
mudsill rabble which at heart he has
always detested and despised.
1t is this hoary-headed monster that
stands in the path of Nebraska's noblest
son, and it is most deplorable that this
wicked enemy of mankind should bar
Omaha from having two senators who
could work hand and glove. particularly
kid glove, for the glory and renown of
Omaha.
Is it not awful even to think that
this marplot Rosewater, who has never
done anything for Omaha, should have
any weight as against a champion of
free silver, who not only gave William
V. Allen an opportunity to invest one
years salary in gilt-edged but unstable
World-Herald stock. but drew $4,000
from the silver mine bullionaires in 1896
for the relief of the publisher of the
World-Herald This feat alone would
have disarmed all opposition to the
chrysanthemum candidate and made
him the unanimous choice for the high
est honors within the gift of the state
but for the distempered and bedeviled
senators, congressman, members of the
legislature and small fry in the poDo-
cratic pan, who are all mere puppets
and jumpingjacks for Rosewater.

An International Message.


A glance at the presidents message to
congress is sufficient TO recall the eXtraordi-
nary change in the public interests of this
country within the last few years. Time
was, not very long ago, when the annual
message, after some Opening paragraphs that
usually might be summed up in the familiar
phrase of a royai% speech, Our relations
with. foreign gsSgovernments continue
friendly" went on to consider the various
details of domestic administration as re-
ported by the heads of departments. The
unusually long message which the president
sent to congress eXpends no space at all
upon this domestic routine, and after its
comprehensive and important reference to
the financial and commercial interests of the
country is devoted almost exclusively to
matters outside the United States And yet
the annual message has not often contained
SO little that is insignificant

introduction of free mail delivery routes
in rural districts, with an interview with
the postmaster general explaining the

Philadelphia Ledger repD
The great length of the message is, how
ever, in large measure justified by the num-
ber and Importance of the subjects of which
it treats, and though in respect of some OF
them many of his countrymen are likely
or certain to disagree with the president
there will be few who will not find both his
statements and recommendations to con-
gress uncommonly interesting. Even in the
matter of the purely domestic affairs to
which it has reference, the message will
receive deserved attention from such of his
fellow citizens as have any real concern in
the government and its wise and just ad-
ministration. There are surely none of
these who will not read with qualification
and pride the presidents statements res
pecting the country's extraordinary pres
perlty, the phenomenal growth OF the vol
ume and value of its export trade, and the
unwonted activity and generous rewards of
its home industries--its manufactures, ag-
riculture and commerce.

brotherhood of Nations.

LNVW lOTN ITIDUIIt VVU.J
There is, in fine, a general report Of for
eign relations at once increased in extent
and variety and made more harmonious,
practical and beneficent. In entering more
directly into the international brotherhood
of nations the United States has not be-
come a meddler or mischief maker, and
has not involved itself in difficulties. In
exercising the courage of its convictions
and of its opportunities it is commanding
the respect of it's neighbors, who now com
prise all the civilized nations of the globe.
This fact affords, of course, no ground for
selfish exultation. 1t is simply the realiza-
tion of what was to be expected and OF
what should have come to pass.

The message, as a whole, is wonder of
industry proof of patient thought and
study, body of practical and righteous
suggestions and document of sanity, liber
ality, sagacity and patriotism. There is
not a partisan line in it. There is not a
note of anger or rashness in it. 1t is the
work of man who appears to feel the
legal and moral responsibility of a great
Office in great time, held in trust for a
great people, a people whose interests are
not only these of the present, but such as
reach far into the future.

The beneAcaries of several large bequests

ity of the inheritance tax imposed by the

tacking the Law are that 1t provides for

quired by the constitution; that even If Il
Is not a direct tax It is not uniform in its
