Our amiable contemporary, the World
! Herald, takes occasion to ask some re
publican newspaper to answer twt
! questions.
The first is, Why does President Nc
Kinley tolerate and recognize Matthew
Stanley Quay? The answer is, Because
Matthew Stanley Quay is the United
States senator from Pennsylvania
chosen for that position by Il Legislature
elected by and representing the peopl,
of that state.
The second question is, Why does moi
the president prosecute the chairman OF
the Ohio republican state committee
against whom the popocrats have
trumped up charges of violating the
civil service rules? The president alone
can probably answer this question def
nitely, but the reason is doubtless that
no evidence is at hand warranting such
a prosecution
In this connection, however, few
other questions are more pertinent.
Why does Governor Poynter tolerate
and recognize ]. II. Edmisten, chair
man of the populist state committee in
Nebraska, when he knows that Edmls-
ten as oil inspector took money belong
ing to the state treasury to pay mileage
fees for trips never travelled or for in
spections on which the inspector used
his annual passes?
Why does Governor Poynter keep ON
LAT ,tn
notorious Omaha dive-keeper, whose
hold-up practices have been exposed in
sworn testimony, and distribute Doug
las county appointments at the dicta-
tion of a gang of political outlaws and
corruptionists, the chief members of
which were saved from Impeachment
and removal from Office by the kind in
tervention of supreme court decision
that declared their official positions I'M
constitutional?
Why has not the reform attorney
general of Nebraska prosecuted any of
the hold-ups implicated in the exposure
of the insurance department of the state
auditors office last winter? Is it be-
cause they are all good popocrats?
Why is he so careful not to prosecute
the reform county treasury examiner
charged by Edgar Howard's paper with
attempted bIackmail?
Talking about hold-up letters to fed
eral employees, what about hold-up let
ters to the employees of Nebraska state
institutions? Is there a man on the
pay roll, appointed under the present
reform state administration, whose sal
ary was not shaved for the benefit of
the fusion campaign fund? If so, why
was he overlooked? Is holding up state
employees any less an offense, morally if
not legally, than holding UP federal en-
ployes?
Should not the party which poses as
the great beacon of reform begin re-
form in its own bailiwick before asking
the people to empower it to institute
reforms in the national government?

The reception which the United
States troops receive in the northern
provinces of Luzon as they advance
seems to bear out the assertion repeat
edly made that practically all the
strength of the rebellion in the island
lies with the Taga!s, who inhablt the
portion in the vicinity of Manila If
such is the case, with an aggressive
campaign General Otis should be able
to announce the end of organized
opposition to American rule in that
section within comparatively SHORT
time.

sTOREHOUSE of THE NATION.
Increasing Demand Upon the Re-
sources of the West.


1t is hard to imagine how this country
ever got along without the west, in the days
before the west was settled, its soil culti-
waited and the products shipped away to sup
port not only the east, but millions beyond
the ocean. To be sure, the wants of the east
were then not so great nor so diversified as
they are now and people worried along with
much less, because they had to. Today the
west is depended upon to provide for almost
everything in the way of farm products and
it does SO from year to year. does it in a
matter-of-course manner as IL 1t had been
used to it fer ages instead OF generations.
II one will consider alone the supply of
cereals which annually finds it's way from
western farms to the markets of the world,
he will be astounded at its extent. And
what is going out is only the surplus; the
home consumption is not counted in this
calculation, which of itself is stupendous
Take the breadstuffs, the cattle the hogs,
the sheep, the poultry and game, the butter
and eggs, the fruits and vegetables and one
may realize how temporary break in sup
ply would produce a famine not only in
eastern parts OF the country, but in Europe
as WELL The west amply justifes its ex-
istence, whether in agricultural or mineral
production, and while superficial people on
the Atlantic border have sometimes sneered
at 1t, 1t is question of more than passing
consequence what they and theirs and the
country at large could do without 1t.

The Council Bluffs & Omaha Bridge
and Motor company has checkmated the
new inter-city motor company in an at
tempt to trench upon the preserves of
the old company. Whether this was
done in sincerity subsequent events
must be awaited to disclose. If the new
bridge motor company is actually Il
rival of the old the latter's interests on
this side are about to receive body
blow to which 1t cannot passively sub
NIT. There is possibility, however,
that the two companies may pool issues
and run solid trains around the circle,
using both bridges. At any rate it is
about time the owners of these roads
make public announcement of their
designs on this community.

A Spanish naval officer has just
issued pamphlet in which he dem
onstrates to his own satisfaction how
it would have been possible to have
turned their disastrous naval campaign
into a successful one. The demonstra-
tion, however, is defective in two
things. One is that it is evolved
several months too late to be of service
and the other is that it contemplates
the meeting of the Spanish fleet ard

Efficacy of Voting Machine.

Machine voting-the mechanical appliance
for receiving and registering the ballots, not
the political machine method-should be
adopted for all elections. 1t might be a
"big thing" for the patentees Of the ma
chimes, but 1t would be a bigger thing" for
honest elections. Sly manipulations may
change the count of ballots after the close
of the polls, but the machine makes no mis-
take; 1t is automatic and incapable of error.

Sneaker Reed will not be in control

Speaker Reed will not be in control
of the next congress, but Speaker
Reeds rules will be adopted with only
a few notifications. Mr.. Reed, 1t will
be remembered, has more than once
said that one of the greatest compli,
ments ever paid him was the re-enact-
ment of his rule regarding the quorum
by the democrats who had made such
a great protest against 1t. Congress
will never go back to the system pre-
yiously in vogue whereby members
could sit in front of the speaker and by
refusing to answer to the roll call block
the business of the house.

GOOD BARGAIN IN SAMOA.

Chief Justice Chambers of Samoa is
of the opinion that the United States
has made good bargain in Samoa. He
says that in the division of the islands
we get what will be most valuable to
us. Pago Pago harbor, with the coal
ing and naval station, he thinks will
be of the greatest utility in the de-
yelopment of our trade with Australia
and South Africa and he regards this
trade as likely to develop more rapidly
and to become the most important to
us in the Pacific. Judge Chambers
says that in China we shall have to
educate the people up to the demand
for American manufactures and other
articles of commerce, while in Australia
and South Africa we find more of
European custom and taste for
European and American products, be-
sides having to deal largely with
people who speak our own language.
In the opinion of Judge Chambers the
United States will have no difficulty
about the government of her Samoan
possessions. He says the natives have
great regard for this country and
ask nothing better than to be governed
by Americans. AS Pago Pago harbor
has long been practically possession of
the United States and we have never
had any difficulty with the people of
the island with which 1t is connected,
there Is every reason TO expect that we
shall be able to get on with them in
future without any trouble. 1t is
quite probable that under the new
arrangement regarding Samoa, by
which the islands will be divided be-
