WI ST PAY THE TARIFF.
supplies Imported by Post Exchanges
in the New Acquisitions

Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn
has decided that supplies purchased IN this
country for the use of post exchanges of
the army located in Cuba. Porto Rico and
the Philippines shall pay the rates of duty
prescribed for such goods in the tariff
schedules. Provision was made for the free
entry into the islands of materials and SUD-
plies for the use of the army and navy
but after careful consideration 1t has been
deemed advisable to deny free admission TO
all consignments of supplies procured in
this country for the exchanges.
This course has been dictated by desire
to limit, far as possible the opportuni-
ties for fraud upon the customs revenues
which would inevitably result from the
wide latitude such indiscriminate importa-
tions would furnish. The freedom attend
ing the admission of large quantities of
such supplies without payment of duty
would undoubtedly open up many channels
for fraud despite the earnest efforts of the
customs officials. Then again the great
quantities of articles imported by the ex-
changes might 10 large extent, be sold
or exchanged in the islands at a profit and
thus work detriment to honest merchants
who have paid the duty upon the same
classes of goods.
In consequence of these considerations
the propriety of this ruling is considered
fully justified by the assistant secretary of
war.

NEBRASKA EDITORIAL GOSSIP.

York Times The Nebraska regiment bears
the first honors In the Philippine islands
and has made our state famous throughout
the world. There are lots Of people on the
globe who have heard Of Nebraska who will
never hear of New York. Pennsylvania or
Illinois.
Tccumsoh journal: The First Nebraska
regiment after making its splendid nGhtnE
record during three months OF active cam
paigning in the Philippines now has only
375 men on the firing line. As the regiment
numbered about 1900 at the beginning, one
can see that The war is costing Nebraska y
thousand times more than the islands, blacks
and all, are worth.
Tekamah Herald This office is in re-
ceipt OF a circular from the pop state labor
bureau, at Lincoln, requesting us to insert
free notice that all out OF employment
should write at once to that office and let
their wants be known. The chump who
runs that department does not seem to
know that the election of Mckinley un-
locked the doors OF the mills and factories
and set all the idle men to work. The
trouble here is that we cannot get the men
to do the work.
York Democrats Worn down by hard
service, continued fighting, disease and
death, the gallant First Nebraska, with
only 37j men out of the 600 which makes
up the regimental quota, fL for duty, last
Monday asked to be temporarily relieved
from duty to recuperate. Ever since the
landing of troops in the Philippines the
First Nebraska was always on the firing
line and always ready for action. 1t has
earned rest. Human endurance has
limit and in this case 1t has been reached.
Judging the regiment by the company from
York, we feel sure that relief from duty
would not have been asked were not the
vitality of the men completely exhausted.
The regiment needs rest and it should be
given it.
Beatrice Democrat: The medical associa-
ton of Nebraska has filed charges against
Dr. Neae and asks to have his permit to
practice in the state revoked because he
has been guilty of unprofessional conduct
in advertising" his business. 1t seems that
the doctor makes several stands and it has
been his custom to announce his coming
and enumerate few of the cures that he
can perform. The cheap guys who think that
professional man should keep his light
under bushel are kicking. 1t is now time
that the newspapers take a hand. If a
physician is to be tabooed and driven from
the state because he believes in the use OF
printers ink why should not a merchant
who displays a little enterprise and
patronizes the papers be boyCotted? The
doctors who are too good to advertise, as a
rule work the papers the hardest for free
notices.
