NEBRAsKA's SOLDIERS.

Philadelphia Record: Having fought the
/ Filipinos until 1t has less than 500 men at
for duty, the First regiment of Nebraska
volunteers has petitoned General Mac
Arthur to be relieved from duty at the
front. The strain of long marches con-
tinual fighting and nerve-lacking outpost
duty has worn the men out and they ask
for relief accordingly. There are Ave other
volunteer regiments at San Fernando and
all are probably in the same precarious case
as the Nebraska regiment.
Springfield Republican: Colonel Vifquain
of the musteredout Third Nebraska regi-
ment rendered its services for the Philip
pines in place of the First Nebraska. He
does this because the First regiment "is
practically annihilated and the Third Ne
braska wishes to avenge It," What has
annihlated the First regiment is chiefly the
climate, the heat and disease, and it is there
fore upon the torrid and malarious climate
that Colonel Vifquain and his regiment
would be avenged, Their efforts would be
watched with interest.
Philadelphia Ledger: The Third Nebraska
regiment, which did not see all the fighting
1t wanted in Cuba, has been mustered out,
but has formally offered to re-enlst as a
body and go to the Philippines, to take the
place of the First Nebraska, which is worn
out by hard fighting and is soon to return
to this country. 1t is a commendable offer
on the part of the Nebraskans, for, IL they
did not experience much actual warfare,
they saw enough of army life to teach them
that 1t is no joke, and the publications in
the newspapers have kept them fully in
formed as to the hardships endured by their
brethren in the Philippines. Under the cir
cumstances their offer to take the tolls of
army life in the islands, which are far more
to be dreaded than its dangers, is display
of patriotism that is very creditable to them
and should receive the appreciation of the
country, as it already has that of the presi-
dent, to whom their offer was formally made

Patronizine Home Industries.

j. Sterling Morton's Conservative.
Just as there are many members OF
churches who exhort sinners to repentance
and prate loudly of the satisfactons and
solaces of religion, while they personally
practice a good many sinful games; so there
are in every community lot Of enterprising
gentlemen who howl loudly and continuously
in behalf Of 'patronizing home industries" !"
while they themselves will give their busi-
ness to outside concerns. In fact some of
these hypocritical advocates of home in
terests have been known 10 patronize out
side barbarians where the prices were the
same as those offered by home institutions
Commerce can show about as many Phari
sees in this line as churches can of pseudo
pious people 1t is one thing to preach and
another thing to practice. The former is
said to be much easier with a great many

The manifesto of General Gomez is
conservative, concliatory and appar-
emily sincere. He counsels the Cuban
this government, return to their homes
and practice patience. He urges that
no prcteXt be allowed to interfere with
the attainment of an Independent gov
ernment and promises to remain
among the Cubans and work for that
consummation. The manifesto implies
entire confidence in the United States
government and indicates patriotic
desire for the pacification of the island.
There Is nothing in 1t suggesting any
personal ambition on the part of
Gomez but simply an earnest wish for
independence and liberty, in the interest
of which he declares himself ready to
labor in whatever sphere may be as
signed to him.
Advices from Havana state that con-
servative counsels have brought about
better feeling there and that the sit.
uation has become less threatening. An
officer of the Cuban army is reported
as saying that it would be suicide to
resist the United States, but to what
extent this feeling exists it Is i'mpossi-
bic to say. Perhaps there are many
hot-headed men in Cuba who believe
that formidable resistance could be
made to this country and doubtless
there are some who think 1t is a pa
triotic duty to resist. There are self
seeking politicians, the leaders of the
so-called national party, who hope to
proht by obstructing and interfering
win the policy of the United States
These elements may abate their ac-
tvity for time, but they are never
quite idle and may be expected to
renew aggressive efforts at the first
opportunity. There is much distress
ana suffering among the people which
II Is not possible for this government
to relieve and this affords the politi-
clans something to work on. Destitution
lends willing ear to the demagogue
who rails against those in authority and
holds out promise of a betterment of
conditions if his policy should prevail.
A" 'he Seil-SeehlHS pOlluClanS IN
Cuba have a large constituency.
The problem is complicated and per-
picking and calls for the most careful
and patient treatment. In the opinion
Of some intelligent observers on the
ground the American policy has not
been sufficiently broad and firm. 1t is
admitted by these that American ad-
ministration is making for the highest
interests of the island and that the re-
suits already accomplished are amaz-
ing, but they think there has been a
lack of aggressiveness in certain direc-
hons where 1t could have been ad-
vantageously employed. The criticism
may be sound, but we are inclined to
think that in the main the policy pur-
sued has been judicious and certainly
results in the province of Santiago
justify this conclusion.
One thing is assured and that is that
the United States must retain control
in Cuba for, some time to come. 1t
must remain there until political and
economic conditions are established on
stable basis and this will not be ac-
complished in short time. There is q
great deal vet to be done in Cuba before
its people can be left to govern them
selves.

DEMAND MAKES VALUES.
Prophets of Calamity Discredited by
Present Conditions.
j. Sterling Morton's Conservative.

j. Sterling Morton's Conservative.
In 1896 the World Herald and all the other
advocates Of financial vagaries and economic
fallacies in general contended that value
was the creation of law The same sophsts
alleged that the country was going down the
toboggan slide of disaster into everlasting
annihiation because of the gold standard
which was making land lower and money
higher all the time. And now after three
years more of the oppression of the gold
standard the same journal declares in its
issue of May II, 1S99
THAT there is a growing demand for
homes in Nebraska cannot be disputed. In
all parts of the state is noticeable an in
creased inquiry and demand for farm and
grazing lands These inquiries come largely
from persons seeking homes for actual set
tlement'
How can this be true If the predictions of
Bryanarchists were true in 1896? Were not
the farmers to starve because of low priced
products from their lands and labors?
Only speculative plutocrats, it was prophe-
sled in 1896, would purchase farms in Ne
braska and the northwest, because under
the gold standard continued and the eX-
tortionate freight rates of railroads no man
could purchase or would purchase farms for
the purpose Of tilling them and making a
living from their products. But now the
World-Herald remarks in antagonism to it's
forecasts
THE speculative demand is not as great as
in past years, the spectators lands chang
ing hands and going into the ownership Of
persons who will cultivate and improve
them"
And further along, to SHOW how little at
tention and how small credence has been
given to populstic prophets and Bryanarchai
presages, the same organ of fiat currency an
nounceS:
"In the Valentine land Office 106S5 acres
were taken under homestead entry during
the month of April, 1899. This is a record
that has had no equal within the past twelve
years, or since the homestead days of set
Ting up the western part of the state.'
Do the homesteaders come because of the
cheerful pictures Of farm life il Nebraska,
under the tyranny of railroads and money
sharks which the World Herald and it's pop
ulistic coadjutors have been publishing for
the last half-dozen years?
Is the April record of more than 10000
homestead acres taken at the Valentine Office
in a single n onth result of the populistic
style of depicting Nebraska, its lands, its
people, its courts, and it's legislature, as the
property of plutocrats and corporations?
How much have the World Herald anc
other calumniators of the character of this
commonwealth and its institutions and peo-
pie done to make a demand for Nebraska
lands at enhancing prices?

come to Rear Admiral Winfield s.
Schley, whose career has shed luster
upon the American navy and who will
take rank in history with John Paul
Jones, Decatur, Farragut and Dewey.
1t is needless to assure the ad dmirnl
that the citizens of Omaha feel highly
honored by his visit, which will be re-
garded as one of the memorable events
in its history.
Omaha, Nebraska and the great west
appreciate the Invaluable services rem
dered the nation by Admiral Schley
and they will esteem it privilege to
entertain him and give expression to
their profound admiration of his valor
and patriotic deeds. In doing homage to
his worth they are impelled by no sec
tional or partisan feeling, but by pride
that Is inspired in all Americans by the
great achievements of their country
men.
1t is the hope and wish of every
citizen of Omaha that the admiral's
stay among them will be an agreeable
respite from the arduous duties that
have devolved upon him and that he will
carry away with him lasting i'm
preston of their good will and hospi-

THE THIRDS FIRST COLONEL.
A Word i'm Defense of His Retirement
In Advance of His Regiment.

The Third regiment of Nebraska volun-
teers was mustered out in Cuba the other
day This Is the regiment in command OF
which Colonel William Jennings Bryan did
not win any remarkable amount of glory.
He soon wearied of the stopper which mill
tary discipline applied to his eloquent lips.
He seems to have pictured military life as
a series of tableaux in which handsome
colonel waves his sword, No spectacular
opportunities occurred. Silence and routine
were not to the colonels taste. He left his
regiment just as it was about to go to Cuba,
where its service has been useful and its
record honorable.
Some casuists hold that it would have
been better for the colonel if he had stuck
to his job and his regiment. They assert
that he should have taken the evil with the
good of military life Should have accepted
cheerfully its dullest duties and should have
showed that as John Hay wrote Of Senator
and Colonel Edward Dickinson Baker, "he
went into the war for use, not fame" We
notice that some critics OF Colonel Bryan
use the discharge of his regiment as a text
for a homily on what the colonel should
have done.
1t seems to us that Colonel Bryan judged
his capabilities correctly. In the civil war
numerous gentlemen plunged suddenly from
politics into the army, not always with
results gratifying to the country. 1t must
have required considerable courage and the
repression of a not unworthy vanity for the
colonel of the Third Nebraska to leave the
service without having won any laurels in
it. II his heart was not in it and he felt
that he had no especial fitness for it, he
acted as a good citizen in resigning. He
consulted the public interests. We could
wish that he had the same sense Of his de-
ficiencles as an economist.
In facing dollar dinners Colonel Bryan
must have endured hardships much greater
than have fallen to the lot Of his old reg-
ment While he may not recall his military
career with any unusual degree Of satisfac-
tion, nothing can deprive him OF the title
of colonel He has acquired martial flavor
at small expense OF time and effort.
