A POSSIBLE
FORECAST.

commingled with tumultuous roarings,
the lightning, the cyclone and the thun-
der, the weather bureau observer notes
rising of the barometer he generally
predicts fairer weather, cloudless skies,
sunshine and no wind.
There seems to be a rising barometer
in and about the politics of some hereto
fore able and Jealous supporters of fu-
sion.in the state of Nebraska. There have
been thunder, lightning. and cyclone in
the inkstand of Hon. Edgar Howard of
Sarpy county. His pen has conducted
electrical condemnation and punish
ment to several prominent populist Of
fice-holders.
Judge Howard has sentenced to cleo
trocution all those alleged democrats
who propose further deglutition, masti-
cation, digestion and extrusion of the
remnants of the former democracy of
Nebraska by the Unsuitable appetite of
the party of Glenn Deaver, w. V. Allen,
Bill Dech, Bryan and KEN.
Is it possible that Judge Howard and
his followers indicate a return to prin
ciples after the storm and disaster of
fusion have ceased?

the United States cannot be led into
fallacies without first being blindfolded.
The contributions are from people
who are honest, and from those who are
dishonest, in their attempts to reform
the government and retrench it's ex-
penses. But rigid analysis Of the mo-
tives of the contributors scientifically
made and truthfully published would,
no doubt, show about sixteen seeking
Office to one seeking the uplifting and
advancement of the republic.
Under "assumed names" all of the
silver-bullion syndicates, smelter COM
bines and refners' guilds may humbly
contribute their mites of millions of
dollars. If the fund can be made large
enough to educate majority of the
voters of the United States to believe
that a fixed legal ratio between the
coins can control and fix the relative
value of the metals out of which the
coins are made, Coin Harvey's school for
fools will have proved a success. The
financial experience of more than five
centuries will have been ignored. The
accepted common sense notion of an
cient times that the market value of
silver and gold bullion regulates the
value of the coins will have been cruel
fed on a cross of ignorance.

Governor Barney
MISSOURI
STATESMEN.

Stone of Missouri recently distinguished
himself again by chasing a newspaper
reporter, named Reavis, down three
pairs of stairs for the purpose of
carving his liver or performing heroic
surgery relating to his pericardium.
He has reputation for sixteen
words to one deed, and heretofore re-
joiced in the distinction of having,
without flaw, or default, maintained
the ratio of sixteen speeches to one
thought without regard to any other
orator on earth. But if the knife with
which Governor Stone intended to oper-
ate upon Reporter Reavis was no shar-
per than Governor Stones logic the
cutting would have been exceedingly
shallow.
Between Stone, De Almond. Chump
Clark and Col. Joe Hickey, the latter
evidently, and beyond all comparison, is
the most stimulative of statesmanlike
utterances. A real Joe Hickey, shaken
before taken, is sure to awaken in the
Missouri voter genuine enthusiasm.
Beside the Joe Hickey, the root-beer
oratory of Chump Clark and the soft
summer-soda. pop eloquence of De Ar
mond are as SKINNED milk to old rye.

T h Q American

~ - The American
people are inclined
to the idolatry of individuals. No ma
tion is exempt from the bacteria of hero
worship and every little while the United
States has an epidemic outbreak thereof.
Sometimes the infection arises in q
yacht race and the captain of the De-
fender or the owner of the Puritan is
temporarily an idol.
Another time the disease breaks out on
the race course and Robert Bonner the
owner or Bud Doble the jockey is ex-
alted for worship.
Again it exhales from the prize ring
and Corbett or Jeffries is set up as
saint for American alteration.
Recently the navy and the army have
generated, in spite of canned or en-
balmed beef a delirious revival of hero
worship and exalted enough idols to
satiate the pious patriotism of all the
most intense and jealous praise-makers
of our common country. There is merit
in extolling merit. 1t makes our child
rem more ambitious. 1t inspires them
to goodness and greatness.
But the heroism of private citizens in
commercial life is often of the most ex-
allied and conse-
Grated type. The
heroism of honesty in peace is as
worthy of emulation as that of fortitude
and courage in war. The heroism which
for pride in good name, for pride in
ones own family because of it's pure
record and guileless history, will sacri-
flee hundreds of thousands of dollars to
maintain the credit of bank or other
institution with which that name has
been even involuntarily connected, is
grander and more majestic mentally and
morally than the heroism of the battle
field.
Right here in Nebraska The CoNsER.
instance of financial and patriotic hero
ism which for the sake of a good name,
and without legal compulsion being
possible, put up voluntarily more than
million of dollars and saved many
bank and business house from failure in
this young state during the panic of
few years ago. It required more grit,
more character of the choicest kind,
more wholesome pride, more self-abne-
CATION than a charge upon battery
spouting bullets and shells.
The American people and especially
the citizens of Nebraska are too often
ignorant of the acts of heroism in their
own midst most worthy of their adula-
tion, imitation and gratitude.

A PROCLAMATION BY GOMEZ.
OLD WARRIOR STILL WANTS ABso-
LUTE INDEPENDENCE.
Until the Americans Pay Them.
Menocnl Ignores Him.

Havana, January 3.-Maximo Gomez, from
his camp twenty miles westward, near Mar
cisso, has addressed a proclamation to the
Cuban army advising against disbanding until
the proceedings at Washington regarding the
pay OF the insurgent troops have been COM
plotted II is dated December 20. and Is IN
part as follows:
Tho moment has arrived TO give public
explanation of my conduct and my purposes
which are always In accord with my sense OF
duty to the country serve. The Amer leans.
theoretically our allies. have terminated tho
war with Spain and signed a treaty Of peace.
n believed 1t was my duty not to move, for
any political or other object, from the spot
where had drawn my sword SO long as the
enemies of the army had not completely
evacuated the island. My presence elsewhere
would have disturbed the repose and calm
ness necessary to consolidate peace, nor
ought l to have caused the Cubans trouble
by unnecessary manifestations during the
jubilee.
THE period Of transition is terminated; the
army of the enemy Is abandoning the coun-
try; the sovereignty OF the great United
protocol, over all the island But Cuba Is not
yet free or independent. Self-government is
not yet constituted. For that reason we
must dedicate ourselves to bringing about the
disappearance OF the cause for American in
convention. But above everything else. In the
spirit of Justice to the Cuban army, It Is nee
essary that before the liberators OF the peo-
pie can dissolve as guarantee of order. the
debt which the country owes to its soldiers
should be satisfied. Awaiting this result. l
remain In my present position. always ready
to help the Cubans finish the work to which
I have dedicated my life.'
London, January 4.-The Havana CORE
spondent Of the Times says: have had an
interview with General Mario Menocal com
manding the Cuban force In the provinces Of
Havana and Matanzas. He told me the In
surgent generals would not accept any pro-
posuls by General Maxine Gomez calculated
to produce friction between the Americans in
Cuba and that the disbanding of the Cubun
army was proceeding steadily throughout the
island.

WAS KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
DALLAS LIxEMAN MET A HoRNIBLR
DEATH WHILE AT WORK.


Dallas. Texas January s.-ons Of the
most singular deaths from electricity ever
recorded occurred here today.
August Rosenneld, after having 1900
volts shot through him from live wire.
lived twenty minutes, entirely conscious.
talked nationally and freely and expired
before medical aid could reach him. Roscu-
ncld was employed as liue,nan by the
Standard Light and Power company OF
Dallas. He and other hnemen were stretch
ing wire near the Episcopal college in
by accident caught hold OF one OF two
1.-Two electric light wires strung on the
poles he was working on. He uttered .
cry OF pain, fell into the network OF mis-
cellaneous wires ana was frightfully
burned. particularly in the palms OF the
hands, before he was removed to the
ground. His forehead, neck and left side
of the face were badly dlscoiored.
As soon as he was stretched out upon the
GROUND. the uniucky llneman began to talk
with his oon,r@ies. He said he realized that
he was dying. that he felt KINDLY toward
all OF them and said goodbye to each.
Tears rolled down the cheeks of tho
roughly clad workingmen ms they gazed
upon their comrade and hoped. in response
to their telephone call, that medical aid
would arrive from the city in time TO save
him. 1t mas moro than two miles to the
nearest doctors office, however, and Ros-
enfield expired shortly before physicians
reached him. and twenty minutes from the
time he gras'ped the fatal wire.
Just before he died Rosenfeld stated that
he had relatives In San Antonio and a
brother In Dallas and gave messages 10 be
delivered to them. He also dictated in
structions as to what he desired in the
way OF funeral ceremonies.
He was thirty years old and unmarried
