preference for their own brand which

the comforts of the inmates, kept them
free from scandal and with moderate

PORTRAITS OF REESE AND HoLCoNB.
Handsome is as handsome does" is an
adage that applies forcibly to the two
candidates competing for the position of
justice of the state supreme court 1t Is
conceded on all hands that the portrait
OF Silas A. Holcomb Is more beautiful
than that of Judge Reese. as his person
Is more imposing in stature. But the
portraits of the two men do not CON
stitute true picture of their respective
mental and moral calibre. Under the
searchlight of publicity turned upon
their public acts the stalwurt and superb
Holcomb shrivels into quiverng, mar
rowless pulpy mass in contrast with the
rugged, forceful and virile character of
Reese.
Holcomb and Reese have both passed
through the ordeal that tests the moral
stamina and backbone of men charged
with sacred trusts. The one came out
of the furnace mass of glittering dross;
the other came out the pure metal,
Sllas a. Holcomb was elected chief ex-
ecutive pledged to great reforms. He
was elevated to this high position by an
uprising for better government that had
broken over all party lines. His oppor-
tunities were as great as We're the eX-
pectatons of those who placed him in
I power. When his career as governor
closed he passed out of office as the
greatest disappointment for political re-
form and most stupendous failure as
an agent to correct the abuses from
which the producers OF Nebraska had
been suffering.
When Manoah b. Reese was elected
supreme judge nobody expected him to
achieve distinction as n bulwark against
corporate aggression. On the contrary
he was regarded as a man with strong
leanings toward the dominant monopoly
power. But Judge Reese had a more ex-
alted idea OF the obligation imposed by
his official oath than had Silas A. Hol-
comb. During the six years of his in
cumbency on the supreme bench he was
the answering exponent of justice in
,liS iuNC VI l'VllllNsii anu Nol pol"'t
pressure. The proof of his unwavering
| uprightness is embodied in decisions
that commended him to the masses and
made him so offensive to the corpora
tions that they decreed and encompassed
his retirement from the bench at the end
of his first term. While Holcomb laid
| his wires for position that no man
| should seek and scrambled for it up to
| the very hour Of nomination, Reese was
nominated in spite of his refusal to be
a candidate and forced upon the ticket
| by the spontaneous and irresistible cur
rent that came out of the rank and file
of his party as reparation for the
| wrong done him ten years ago.
These are the unvarnished and unre-
| touched portraits of the two candidates,
which The Bee would probably never
| have drawn but for the attempt of Hol-
combs fool friends to make invidious
| comparison and malicious comment over
the portrait of Judge Reese that ap-
| peared in last Sundays Illustrated Bee.

The recent report OF the registrar general
Of New Zealand leads to the conclusion that
the fine warlike tribes of the Maors are fast
dying out Though they may not become
absolutely extinct for a few decades, their
doom is evidently sealed. Among the causes
officially assigned for the thuning q the r
numbers are tho high infanu.e mortality re-
sulting from poor food, exposure and the
want of the most ordinary care; constitutions
debilitated by old debauchery, the belief in
native doctors, the neglect of the sick and
the adoption of European habits and cos
tunes leading to diseases Of the respiratory

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS.

While the British newspapers favor
able to war with the Transvaal reject as
unworthy of consideration the sug-
gestion of possible complications grow
ing out of foreign interference, there
are some things that give plausi-
bility to the idea that in the event
of protracted hostilities between Eng.
land and the Boer government some of
the European powers might take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered to
carry out designs inimical to British in
terests in other parts of the world, par
ticularly in India and Asia.
The dispatches note a mysterious visit
of the Russian minister Of foreign af-
fairs to Spain, whence he is to go to
Paris, and remark that Russia's attitude
in the Transvaal matter is common
knowledge. There may be no signiti-
canoe in the movements of Count Mura-
vieff so far as the Anglo Boer quarrel is
concerned, but there can be little doubt
that Russia would take any advantage
that might present itself through war
in South Africa for Strengthening her.
self on the frontiers of India and in
China. 1t was reported few days ago
that Russia was constructing entrench-
ments near the frontier of India. 4
protracted conflict in South Africa you'd
enable Russia to push such operations
and it is by no means improbable that
this would be done, while at the same
time efforts might be made to weaken
British authority in India. In short,
nothing would better suit Russia than to
have England involved in war that
would draw largely upon her resources
and reduce her ability to safeguard her
interests in other quarters.
France would probably be found ready
to second any policy which Russia
should deem it eXpedient to adopt. The
| former has interests in South Africa
which would perhaps be menaced by
an increase of British power there and
| France has not forgotten the Fashoda
affair. She would not interfere directly
in South African war, but she could
! give support to Russian projects that
might add to British difficulties in car
rying on the war. Germany, it is stated,
Is officially neutral and would perhaps
remain so, though there is no doubt
where her sympathy is or that she
would like to see British power dimin-
ished. In short, the powers of conti-
mental Europe are not really friendly to
Great Britain and If n good opportunity
shall present itself promising them sub
stantial advantages, they will not hes
itate to manifest this.
There Is another feature of the South
African affair which has received little
attention and that is the possible atti-
| tude of the natives In the event of war
1t is stated that armed Katfirs accom-,
pany the Boer commanders. If the for
midable native tribes should take the
Boer side Englands task would be enor
nous, for these tribes number many
more than the whites and some of them
are desperate warriors. The Katfirs
however, are said TO dislike the Beers
