SOME OBJECT LESSONS.


The same popocratic orators who three
years ago were upholding Organism on
the ground that free coinage of silver
would double prices are now engaged in
declaiming against President Mckinley
because prices have risen under Il repub
ton to the fact that lumber is higher
now than it was during the presidential
campaign of 1896 and they call this an
object lesson for the farmer and me-
chanic. Because the prices of manufac-
tured articles have risen, according to
their wishes of 1896, little more rap
idly than the prices of raw products
they charge this to be a great crime per-
petrated entirely by the protective tariff.
AS usual, however the calamity
statesmen present only one side of the
picture and omit the object lessons por-
trayed by republican prosperity brought
home to every toiler in the land. While
prices of various commodities may have
risen unevenly owing to various inter
vening factors affecting supply and de-
mand, the fact must not be overlooked
that the farmer today can afford to
build now barns and fences, when three
years ago he did not know how to keep
up even his interest payments on mort
cages now entirely lifted. The fact
must not be forgotten that the laborinS
man is able today to build his own home
who three years ago was walking the
streets in idleness seeking employment at
any wages. The idea that the trusts have
been built up on the protective tariff is
| secuted by all intelligent students of
| the question because many of the larS-
est and most powerful trusts are work
| ing fields absolutely without protection.
The Standard Oil trust, the most power
| full of all industrial combinations, has
| been built up without any protective
tariff on its product. That the abuses
| of the trust must be met by other rem
edies is asserted by Bryan himself, who
| wishes to depend chiefly upon federal
| supervision and state license taxes.
The great object lessons of prosperity
in all branches of trade and industry.
protected and unprotected, shared in by
| all classes of people, from the common
laborcr and mechanic to the farmer,
merchant and manufacturer, are the OBJ
| ject lessons which stand out in bold re-
lief and which the voters will heed
| when they come to cast their ballots to
signify their choice between continuing
present tiourishing conditions and re-
verting to the hard times on which the
Bryanite politicians thrive.

NO FLAW, NO FALTERING.
Tcrse and Inspiring Campaign Cry
for 1900.

for 1000.
Philadelphia Press.
A Washington dispatch to the Balt m re
Sun says that tho speech OF President Nc
Kinley in presenting the sword to Admiral
Dewey, Tuesday. is regarded as a definite,
positive utterance as TO what his policy in
dealing with the situation in the Philippines
will be. I'm ringing tones" says the dis
patch, which could be heard a considerable
distance from the stand, he said addressing
Admiral Dewey: There was no flaw in your
victory; there will be no faltering in main
tanning it,"
The utteranCc is terse enough and inspir
ing enough to serve as a campaign cry for
1900. No one will claim that there have
been no mistakes made since the republican
party resumed power in March, 1897. 1t
would be impossible to conduct so compll-
Gated a government as this without some err
rors occurring. But when judged in the
way all human efforts must be estimated, it
can be claimed that President Mcknley's
administration has been without flaw and
without faltering The republican party
promised in 1896 that if it was restored to
power it would re-cstablish protection and
bring back prosperity There has been no
flaw or faltering there The republican party
promised that it would make every dollar of
the currency equal to gold dollar. There
has been no flaw or faltering there. The
republican party expressed it's sympathy
with Cuba and its belief that peace should be
given the island. There has been no flaw
or faltering in making that belief And
there will be no flaw or faltering in main
tanning the victory Dewey gained in the
Philippines.
1t was remarked when President Mckinley
said that there would be no fahering in
maintaining the victory gained May l., 1898,
that Admiral Dewey heartily applauded the
sentiment 1t will be noticed also that at
the dinner following the presentation of the
sword that Admiral Dewey frequently re-
ferred to this utterance of the president as
the one striking sentiment of the day and
that he appeared to be profoundly impressei
by 1t. Another significant fact is brought TO
light by the Washington dispatch to the
Baltimore Sun, and that is that Admiral
Dewey had two conversations with the pres
ident before the latter made his speech, and
the natural inference is that the admiral
inspired the presidents utterance. The coun-
try will take the presidents s words as proof
that there will be no flaw or faltering in sub
DUNG the rebellion in the Philippines as
there has been no flaw or faltering in car
rying out the administrations policy in other
respects,

Every patriotic citizen of Nebraska
will regret that President Mckinley has
been unable to arrange his time schedule
SO as to include visit to this city dur
ing his present tour of the west. The
president has always favored Nebraska
and this time has expressed his desire
to accept the invitation had not other
engagements prevented. The president
may rest assured the people of Nebraska
will be ready to receive him enthusi-
astically at any future time he may find
opportunity to accept their hospitality.

4 TRIBUTE.
Wa shington Star,


The hero came. The wondering crowds
drew near
And with their paudits shook the hem
isphere.
The red fire burned; the music loudly
played,
And cavaliers rode forth upon parade.
And from the towns and farmlands swift
there came
Great multiudes to swell the vast acclaim,
And one and all in that eXultant band
Stepped up and tried to shake the hero's
hand.
And still to show his patriotic love,
He strove, too proud to wear a boxing
glove
He welcomed all, nor gave of pain hint,
But swathed his fist In arnica and lint.
Write it with chisel on enduring stone!
Write 1t where names of men revered are
shown!
Write it, that all may read who pass the
spot
His hand was swollen, but his head was
not"

THE TRANS1AAL CONFLICT.


Beers the British will he compelled for
n time to fight on the defensive and it
Is very likely that this may result in
giving the former an important advan-
that 1t is the purpose OF the Beers 10
push hoStilities with all possible vgor
and to carry the war as rapidly and as
far as possible into the eneny's country,
but it is hardly probable that military
operations will be pushed by them be-
yond the territory of Natal, unless they
should find such sympathy in Cape Col
ony as TO make it likely that invasion
would stir up revolution there. 1t is
reported that there is a very strong feel
ing in the colony favorable to the Beers.
British reverses at the beginning of
hostilities are therefore to be looked for,
but 1t may he confidently predicted that
England will not long be on the de-
fensive and that within sixty days at
the farthest there will be in South Africa
Il British force capable of taking the Of
fensive and then the really hard fighting
will begin. 1t appears to be the disposi-
tion of the British military authorities
to underrate the Beers, but nobody else
doubts that England will find the task
of conQuering them exceedingly hard
and difficult, for they realize that their
independence is at stake and to preserve
this they will fight with desperation and
to the bitter end.
Meanwhile the English people appear
to be overwhelmingly in favor of war.
even Lord Rosebery, the former liberal
leader and premier, for several years
withdrawn from politics, having broken
silence and ranged himself in sup
port of the government. The Boer
many others the same effect it had
upon Lord RoSebery, who not only
favors war but urges that it must be
prosecuted to complete British tri-
umph, which simply means until the
Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free
State are overthrown and made n part of
the British empire. Rosebery's attitude
will exert large influence and while
there will continue to be opposition to
the war there is no doubt that the very
great majority of the people support the
government and'will continue to do 80.
SO far as European sympathy is con-
cerned the fact of the Transvaal govern
ment having sent an ultimatum which
was tantamount to declaration of war
has not affected it. The public SYM
pathy of continental Europe is with the
Beers and is particularly strong i'll Ger
many and France. The governments of
course, will give no expression to their
feeling, at least for the present, what
ever they may feel called upon to do in
the future if the war should be pro-
tracted, but England will learn, if not
already aware of it, that she is heartily
hated by most of the people of conti-
mental Europe and it is but natural that
this feeling should abound to greater
or less extent among those in power. 1t
is no less true that popular sympathy in
the United States is largely with the
Transvaal Republic.
Events in South Africa will make a
large demand upon the worlds attention
for some time to come, for the conflict
there is likely to be protracted.

The death of James Harlan removes the

cupy a place in his cabinet. He did mot,

Harlan was sworn in as secretary of the

cabinet for year and a half. He outlived
all his colleagues in that cabinet, though

eral in the last year of Johnson's admin
istration, still fingers on the scene. Mr..
Harlan served ten years in the United States
senate before he entered the johnson cabi-
net, and seven years afterward, retiring in
1873. He was useful public man, who did
good work in his time and was we'll liked
and trusted by his associates in Washing
ton and his constituents in Iowa. He has
been long removed from public observa-
ton that the news of his death will arouse
only momentary interest in that it re-
moves one of the few remaining living
links that connect the present with Abra-
