DISMISSED,
The Burton Well Suit Thrown Out of
 Court.

The case in which Mir. Burton Veil was sung the Madame Blanche heirs for an attorneys fee of $2,00O was this morning dismissed. The court held that the suit was prema- ture, as the property had not been delivered to the heirs.
 Madame Blanche was a noteo character in this city for many years. About one year ago she died, leaving considerable property. There were heirs, and in the settle ment of the estate and affairs litiga- tion was rssorted to. MT. Well, of Chicago, was employed in behalf ot the heirs. He claims $2,000 of UT. paid fees, and the heirs, it seems, are unwilling to pay same until the property involved is in their pos session, said property having never been turned over to them.

However meager this country may be in resources, it sgreat on climate. From a point of health it cannot be surpassed. There is absolutely no malaria, and mosquitoes are un- known, while for puln onary troubles it cannot be surpassed. The heat about midday registers 96 in the shade, but is tempered by gentle winds, while at night blankets or comforts are required.

A Long Voyage.

The unwieldiness of an empire which should embrace the Philippines is illus trated by the experience of a merchant skipper of Castine, Me. He left Ma nilla in a sailing vessel for a voyage around the Cape, stopping at St, Hele- na. When he started there was no expectation of war; when he reached Maine the war was over.

w
American politics. 1t is proverbial that
corporations have no conscience, but
they do not generally lack penetration
where their own interests are in ques-
ton. At the very outbreak of the
Spanish American war the tobacco and
sugar trusts in the United States fixed
their eyes on the Philippines as desir-
able booty of which they must get pos
session, and they have worked with
untiring zeal for the attainment of this
aim. They have easily realized their
scheme as they had to deal with a presi-
dent who is strangely deficient in firm
ness of character and incorruptible
faithfulness to duty, and who, without
serious opposition, allowed the ship of
state to be taken in tow by these avar
icious traffickers. With nations. as
with individuals, one can Judge the
future only by the past" conduct. 1t is
well known that during the existence of
the republic for more than a century
the Americans have not specially dis
tinguished themselves by benevolent
and friendly feelings towards the So
called ''inferior races" that is, those of
swarthy complexion. The sad history
of the redskin is well known. The wars
waged by the Indians against white set
tiers have beer melted, almost without
exception, by the misdeeds of the white
men, and especially by the ignorance
and knavery of the agents of the fed
eral government. AS a rule the son of
the WILDERNESS has put on his war
paint and gone on the war-path only
after long suffering and rascally treat
ment. Even in Alaska where colonial
ton of white men, the cultivation of
the soil, and consequently the uncon-
trollable advance of settlers are almost
out of the question, the Aleutians and
other tribes have been plundered and
eXterminated in the most scandalous
name by the introduction of this uni
versal, Infamous "spoils system" The
Americans consider this country and it's
ihhopiVftuVo oiuhpiy "a OOJOOUo " up
preparation" and to this end have
formed large trading companies, which
use firearms in catching seals and have
already nearly extirpated these animals.
The government does not seem to con-
Germ itself in the least about the terrible
consequences of this wholesale robbery
to the natives. Further particulars of
these unsatisfactory conditions are given
in a treatise entitled Colonial Lessons
of Alaska" published in The Atlantic
Monthly, November, 1898, by DR.. David
Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stan
ford university.
Treatment of the Negroes.
On December 6, 1898, the negroes OF
Chicago held a convention in order to

people of that county had voted by a
large majority to remove the county
seat from Hemingford to Alliance finally
faced us at a side track near Berea.
At this point THE CONSERVATIVE "met
on the train" the court house, going
down to the new county seat at Alliance
for the purpose of "holding" many
courts in it's career of a restaurant of
justice.
Then from the Alliance Grip we
learned that "The man who took the
contract for moving the court house
down from Hemingford became sick Of
the job before moving it ten feet. Su-
p~erintendent Phelan, Bridge Foreman
John Carlson and Contractor E. w Bell
inspected it and decided that it could be
moved down on the rail. Accordingly
it was yanked down to the siding, placed
on trucks and two engines hitched to it.
At 1 80 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
the start was made and everything
moved with the smoothness of a box car
at the rate of ten miles an hour. Delays
were occasioned by cuts too narrow to
admit of passage which had to be cut
down by the extra gang. They stopped
at Berea that night and moved it on to
Alliance yesterday morning. The build
ing is 34x4S feet and from dome to
base is 45 feet. To move such a large
structure without a crack or break
twenty miles by rail is an engineering
feat that can rank alongside of the most
wonderful of modern times. For ten
years the Lincoln Land Company has
furnished the county with a court house
free of cost, and now they furnish it
with one good enough for all purposes
for the next ten years for only $1,000.
Surely no county ever got along so
cheaply. The company is entitled to
praise for acting so literally by the
county and the commissioners are en-
titled to praise for making a deal that is
really a great bargain"
The fact that a soulless and pluto
cratic combination. like the Lincoln
Land Company,
is guilty as
charged by the Grip should rekindle
the fires of populism and stimulate all
the forces of fusion to renewed efforts to
crush out capital in Nebraska. Corpor-
ate economy which invades the admin
istratiOn of county affairs ought to be
rebuked. Legitimate partisan extrava-
gance must not be trampled under feet
by parsimonious corporations.

continual and notorious attacks upon
their legal and constitutional rights.
This protest is well founded. Indeed
since the origin of the republic, as an
American judge of the supreme court
once declared, the negroes under the
starry banner have had "no rights
which the white man was bound to re-
spect." The abolition of slavery
brought with it no essential change of
this feeling. The freedmen are treated,
not as legitimate citizens, but, gener-
ally, as proscripts who stand outside of
the law, and, instead of enjoying the
advantages of its regular and non-par-
tisan administration, are, for the slight
est ~offense, given over without pro.
lection, to a cruel, breathing
mob. 1t must be evident to everyone
that this deep-rooted prejudice against a
dark skin, regardless of seemly behav-
ior, moral conduct or fine education,
places in the way of the Americans an
insurmountable obstacle to their giving
the Philippines a just and beneficial
government. In Cuba it has already
led to dissensions and incipient revolt,
and this will be still more the case in
the Asiatic archipelago, inhabitated by
such heterogeneous tribes.
Some opponents of the expansion pol
icy have tried to reconcile themselves
to the accomplished deed by endeavor-
ing to believe that the necessity for
appointing able, experienced, competent
officials for the colonies, would have a
favorable, reactive effect on home poll
tics, and bring about universal civil
service reform. The endeavor to find a
good point in an unsatisfactory fat
accompli is most praiseworthy, and it
is possible that many an honest, I'M
suspicious citizen may derive comfort
from this hope held in prospect. This
optimistic view, however captivating it
may seem in theory, will prove in appli-
cation a beautiful delusion. In order to
attain the desired end one must take the
shortest way and begin with the reform
of public Office at home. A nation that
endures the corrupt government of the
large American cities will not concern
itself about similar and still worse con-
ditions in the Philippines and a presi-
dent who is at the command of corrupt
partisans will offer no resistance to
"bosses" and "trusts'' when they wish
to take upon themselves "The White
Mans Burden" reward their political
tools with fat offices, and plumber the
newly-acquired countries in a profess
sional manner.

pressive. Here we trace the actions
and experiences of the young son, and
see how he, in the language of these
later days, came into collision with the
order of things, and how these natural
consequences of his own conduct finally
brought him to his senses and awak-
ened his moral sensibilities. What
sort of person was this prodigal son?
To find that out let us look more fully
into the fine phases of Christ's teach
ing. All the indications of the drama
give us to understand that he was a
full blooded, self-willed, perhaps head
strong, young man, with the tides of
power and passion surging through his
brain and body. He wants possession
of what some day would come to him.
but also possession of himself He
wants to taste of life for himself and
in his own way.
You cannot help letting your heart
go out to the young man in his lusty
strength and coincidence. You
sympathze with his desire to live an
independent life, to create his own
realm and work out his own career
That is all wholesome, yes, quite Amer
lean.
I wish we could all understand that
the young man, acting according to the
promptings of his nature, was right in
seeking the fullness of life In indul-
gence. What is indulgence? Is it
not the opposite of restraint? Is it not
slipping the leash of our powers? There
are some colorless, skim milk personal
tiles for whom it is possibly sufficient
to be merely faultless in a meagre sort
of way. But who that feels powers
within him straining like steam, setting
the pulses throbbing in his brain, can
be content with a mere proper impotent
faultlessness. Is that the end and aim
of Christianity?
If we would do anything worthily,
we must do it as the indulgence of our
nature. In that lies life's beauty,
sparkle, its joy and satisfaction. Duty
in itself is but q skeleton, hard and I'M
lovely. Have one, and good one, but
no one wants to be all skeleton, or have
it very conspicuous
