The holidays are approaching.
Old Santa Claus will soon be
asking every one to unfasten
their purse strings. Eggnog
and punch-bowls will be in de-
mand. The little folks, that is,
those whose parents can afford
it, will be made happy over the
nice things Santa Claus left for
them. Old bachelors and mar
ried couples, who are so unfor-
tunate as to have no children,
will be sorry to see Christmas
come and rejoice when it has
passed.

General Henderson Is said to deprc-
cate making the speakcrship contest a
sectional matter and in this he is right,
but there appears to be a disposition on
the part OF eastern candidates to force
n geographical issue. Such n challenge
western representatives. however much
they might regret its being made, would
feel bound to accept and if able to unite,
which probably they will be, can elect
their candidate. The Washington cor,
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says that If there should be only two
candidates presented to the caucus, of
whom one would be Sherman and the
other either Hopkins or Henderson, /;
is believed at this time that the ma
jority would he with the latter. 1t is
already pointed out that the New York
candidate. Mr.. sherman, is likely to be
somewhat handicapped by the support
of certain senators. Interference of
senators in a contest for the house
speakcrship would be a matter demand
ing rebuke and If 1t be true that Mr..
Sherman's candidacy is backed by Sen
ator Platt and is to have the active sup
port of two or three other senators he
will deserve to be defeated.
1t is stated that Sherman has eighty
votes pledged to him, which is within
thirteen of the number that will be
necessary for the caucus nomination,
provided all vacancies in the house are
filed at the fall elections, the republican
membership with full house being 1S5.
The New York candidate certainly has
strong lead at present, but 1t is pos
sibe that he has already developed his
full strength.

SALISBURY ON ALLIANCES.


In his latest public utterance LORD
Salisbury referred to talk of alliances,
remarking that in Il certain sense the
phrase is a just one, "but an alliance
in the sense that with any nation we
will go out to war together and bear the
cost. and danger together and for each
other can only very rarely take place.
The alliances of which we speak are
alliances of good feeling between peo-
pies and governments and not engage
ments likely to bring either side into
war" The British prime minister had
been talking about the agreement With
Russia and the occasion was peculiarly
auspicious for announcing to the worlG,
in the presence of the ambassadors of
various countries, including the United
States, that Great Britain is not seek
ing a formal alliance with any nation.
While it is the aim of the British gov
ernment to cultivate good feeling with
other countries, as shown in the agree
ment with Russia and Germany and
France, it does not desire an alliance, in
the broad sense, with any power.
The statement of Lord Salisbury il
timely and significant. 1t should have
the effect of dispelling apprehensions in
Europe and in this country of an Anglo
American alliance. Since the beginning
of the war between the United States
and Spain the governments of Europe,
particularly those of Russia and Ger
many, have been haunted by fear of an
alliance between England and this coun-
try. Here an element of our foreign
born citizens have recently held public
meetings to protest against an Anglo.
American alliance. The only excuse for
this was the friendly attitude of Eng
land during the war and the refusal OF
the British government to consider any
suggestion of European interference or
interposition. There was, it is true,
some newspaper talk in both countries
about an alliance being desirable and
eXpedient, but no responsible public man
tounseled any such thing, either in Eng
land or the United States. We do not
know of any one in public life in either
country who now favors it. The posi-
llOu VI lllt was hll-
doubtedly accurately stated by Post
master General Smith in a recent in
terview. This nation" he said, does
not need an alliance, political, CONNER
cial OF military, with any foreign power
that exists" Unquestionably this is the
feeling of very large majority of the
American people. We want amicable
relations with all nations. We desire
10 strengthen the bonds of friendship
everywhere-with Russia and Germany
and France not less than with Great
Britain. Our worldwide interests die
tate this. But we want no alliance with
amy power and we need none. We are
quite able to stand alone and to cope
with any problem that confronts us. In
this respect, at least, this nation will
still heed the admonition of George
Washington.
Equally Great Britain is quite able

THE MEANING OFF 1T.

The unanimty with which the at
torneys on both sides have agreed to a
verdict in favor of the state and against
the Capital National bank fer S236,OOO
made away with by Mosher, would be
a gratifying outcome to this tedious liti-
CATION were it not for the fact that the
Judgment is not worth the paper on
which it is written. That is probably
the reason why the lawyers who have
MIXED the receivership have suddenly
become willing to concede the claim of
the state.
AS a matter of fact, as everybody
knows, the deposit of this money in the
bank was illegal and its qualification as
n state depository after the deposit had
been made was brought about by fraud.
The bondsmen of the state treasurer
under whom this diversion of the public
funds occurred should have been com
PEELED to make good the loss, but mas
much as the bondsmen have been freed
from their obligation the registration of
Il paper judgment which can never be
realized on caps the climax of one of
the most audacious robberies of the peo-
pie ever recorded.
The danger is that the verdict is sim
ply intended to pave the way for an eX-
onerat ton of the BARLEY bondsmen for
responsibility for any of the money lost
in failed state repositories. The bonds
mon will surely attempt to get from
under that part of the shortage repre-
senting money advanced to prop up
shaky banks secured by straw bonds
accepted with full knowledge that they
would be worthless in the event of the
banks failure.
Instead of being of advantage to the
state this post-mortem judgment against
the Capital National bank is liable to
rise up and plague it in future efforts
to recover money lost through crooked
farming of public funds.

Colonel Perry S. Heath, first assistant
postmaster general, has returned from
our little dependency of Porto Rico with
Il good report as to the conditions there.
Everything is progressing favorably un'
der the iudicous administration of Gen
eral Henry and the people as a whole
are well satisfied with the change of
rulers. There are, of course, some poll
ticians who are not quite content with
existing conditions. They would like
more recognition than they are getting
and the privilege of helping themselves
to the public revenues. But they con-
stitute small minority of the people
and as they have not yet done any Sc
rious mischief are not likely TO, since
with advancing prosperity the content
ment and satisfaction of the people will
increase. Porto Ricans are being en-
listed in the United States military
service and are said to take pride IN
wearing the uniform. 1t remains to be
seen, however, whether this experiment
will prove satisfactory. General Hen
rvs administration in Porto Rico APP
pears to have been in all respects COM
mendable. He has been firm in dealing
with the situation, but just and fair to
all interests and no complaint has been
heard that military rule has been at all
oppressive or despotic. Life and prop
crty, it appears are as secure in Porto
Rico as anywhere, there being much
| less lawlessness than was to have been
expected. OF course government in so
small an island is a simpler matter
than in Cuba, but it is none the less n
good example of American administra-
ton and is evidently we'll appreciated
by the better class of people. AS Il field
for American enterprise, however, Porto

to stand alone and TO cope with what.
ever problems may confront her. She
needs no alliance with this or any other
country, but simply to cultivate good
feeling and to exert her powerful inflr-
ence for the preservation of peace.
There could be no real advantage to
either Great Britain or the United
States in a formal alliance between
them that cannot be had from such
friendly understanding in respect to
protection of mutual or common inter
ests as now exists. The statement of
the British position by Lord Salisbury
ought to reassurc all who are apprehen-
sive of an Anglo.Amerlcan alliance.

Gradually but surely the government
Of Cuba is taking shape along lines OF
civil administration. The appointment

TOrnadOes Worse Than Wars.


The new destructive weapons of war do
not mean to do much destroying after all.
We are told of savagelyfought battles in
which Maxim and Calling guns are used, of
tremendous bombardments, of desperate
storms of shot hurled against the enemy,
and then read that the loss of life on the
part of the foe aggregates from thirty to
fifty men. And the old-fashioned cyclone
goes on its way and mows down hundreds
in its path in a few seconds, to say nothing
of wiping two or three towns off the face of

One of the most encouraging signs of
the times comes from the offices of city
and county treasurers, upon whom de-
wolves the duty of collecting the taxes
imposed upon property owners for the
support of state and local government.
In periods of financial distress the
taxpayer is sorely tempted and often
forced to let his taxes go by default
bearing the penalty of delinquency be-
cause unable to raise the ready cash
necessary to discharge the obligation.
The return of prosperity and accom-
panying plenituda of money relieves
this pressure and brings into the treas
ury not only prompt payments of cur
rent taxes, but also settlements of de-
linquent dues. .
The figures portraying the improve
ment that has been worked in the past
year in Omaha and Douglas county,
taken from the books of city and county
treasurers, are as follows:
