exuberance of Col.
Edgar Howard over the nomination of
Silas Holcomb to the supreme court has
been duplicated by that game and
gallant disciple of populism in his re-
joicings because of the appointment Of
Allen to the senate by Death and Cover
nor Poynter. Death, primarily and
Poynter, secondly, have rendered
Howard the happiest of all the hypocrites
now pretending to trust in the visions
and vagaries of fusion, illusion, delusion
and confusion as represented by a leader
ship which in Nebraska, at all times, has
sacrificed principles, friends and party
for personal promotion. We congratu-
late Colonel Howard upon having said
"amen" to Governor Poynter's senator
making and also upon his having avoided
the utterance of the terrible profanity
which his volcanic heart threw up to
his lips, on that tempestuous occasion to
which as "benevolently assimilated"
democrat he so pathetically refers.

JUST LEARNED.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov,9-(Special. y
Senator Goebel tonight received the
following congratulatory telegram from
the Hon. William j. Bryan:
"LINCoLN, Neb., Nov. 9.-To the Hon.
William Goebel, Frankfort, KY. I
have just learned that returns are near
enough complete to insure your election.
Accept hearty congratulations. I am
sure your administration will strengthen
the party. WILLIAM j. BRYAN"
What party? Chicago platform?
Free silver republican? Populist? Or
"the party hereunto subscribing?" Will
Goebel's non administration be equally
efficient as "strengthener?"

~ The republicans
of the Unite d
States know perfectly well that the
advocacy and establishment of the gold
standard may, like charity, cover
multitude of sins. They, therefore,
very wisely proceed to pass a law by
which gold becomes permanently en-
throned in the American republic, for
all time to come, as our standard and
least fuctuating measure of value and
best medium of exchange. This is
patriotism. 1t is also, in smaller sense,
partisanism because it leaves the Chicago
platform propaganda without live
issue for 1900. There is nothing for
spellbinders of the silver tongue breed to
prete about in the way of an immediate
change of the financial system of the
United States. If any one attempts to
haul down the standard of value and
debase the currency, spot him.

The be- enacted
A CURE-ALL.


cure-all seems to
be patronized by nearly all the long
haired male and short-haired female
reformers of the United States. When
ever any economic evil troubles, or a
social nuisance bothers a community
the professional reformer proposes cor
rection by an enactment. They declare
money to measure all values, can be
made by statute out of irredeemable
paper. This they call scientific money.
And the shadow of an egg boiled five
minutes would be scientific nutriment.
Why not enact that all solid ice in
the Missouri river shall be cheese, and
all snow on the plains flour? Such an
enactment would have the same efficacy
as one declaring forty. eight cents worth
of silver the equal of hundred cents
worth of gold.

combine. Allen had all the old repub-
licans and many former democrats i'm
portuning his appointment. But Hitch
cock was supported by those who had
been only democrats before they became
microbes in the vast office getting trust
of populism.
But pointer in populistic politics in
Nebraska is not worth much unless pre-

President Nc
Kinley in a very
long message to congress omitted to
dilate upon the glories of protective
tariff.
And now Senator Lodge, who has
been everlastingly delivering mono
logues upon the advantage of protection,
has introduced bill to put hides on the
free list.
Since the Spanish war began and
greater revenues have been required
no statesman has proposed to raise them
by higher protective duties on imports.
Who is the next rock-rooted protec-
ZIONIST to recant as to the economic
heresy of high tariff?

Nebraska City is

c,r.uo,, Nebraska City is
old enough, large
enough and wise enough to calmly dis
cuss the propriety of building crema-
torium. Incineration is becoming more
and more, among thoughtful men, to be
considered preferable to burial. It re-
moves many dangers to the living and
is less repulsive than the slow processes
of decay. To be resolved into original
elements, to float off among the clouds,
and leave only clean white ashes to re-
plenish the earth is far better than to
await in the grave natures chemistry
to do it's work of disintegration.

The renowned Ian Maclaren Watson
has propounded the question, "Should
Old Clergymen be Shot?", which has
provoked many to be humorous. 1t
would seem indeed that when they
cease to write good stories and become
regular contributors to the Ladies Home
Journal, something might be said in
behalf of the affirmative.

so 1t is suggested
that Gilbert Nj.

Hitchcock has profound reasons for
intimating that, in his Judgment, the
proposed presidential ticket, for the
Chicago platform dervishes in 1900, of
"Bryan and the Whole Hog" is entirely
in keeping with the character of states
manship which named Allen for the
appointment to the senate. What Bryan
could not get and keep the Hog might
live on but he would not grow fat.

THE SANTER is HERE
A Mysterious Visitor Dis
turbs West Raleigh.
~
TALES THEY TELL OF IT
IT SCREAMS LIKE A PANTHER,
HOOTS A STEAM SIREN.
HAUNTS M0RG IN ST. AND BoYLAV AVE.
Lead Won't Kill it, Dogs Can't track i and
Nobody Knows Whether It is Bird or
Beast. An Organized Hunt
for it Last Night.

Raleigh has achieved the acme of dis
tinction--it now has a full grown, blood
thirsty, night-prowling santer that emits
hair-lifting shrieks in the wee small
hours. travels without leaving tracks, is
impervious to lead and unknown to fear.
The favorite haunts of this monster
of blackness and terror is in that sec
ton of West Raleigh adjacent to the
intersection of Morgan street and Boy
Ian avenue and the dwellers thereabouts
tell narrowing tales and tales that
widely differ.
The santer begins operations usually
between eleven and one O'Clock and then
good by to sleep What does it do! 1t
hollers-and such hollering! 1t screams
like panther. it boots like an owl, it
cries like a colicky baby. Its yells domi-
nate the screech of whistles on the
passing locomotives, the whirr of the
trolley, the spontaneous explosions of
guns and beating of tin-pans.
This was the story of it that citizen
gare me yesterday. What? an owl,
her p he exclaimed bristling up at my
explanation. did you ever. hear an
owls cry that would bring all the peo-
pie Of a neighborhood rushing out or
their houses to see what was the mat
ter? I've heard this thing. It's awful.
The women folks are afraid to go out
of the house. The men congregate on
front porches with guns. dogs, pitch
wait for it. The moment it begins a
shoot towards it. You can hear em
shooting all times of the night But
the dogs can't track it. We've got a
full pack of fox hounds in that neigh
borhood now, but it's no use. A citizen
saw it the other night sitting on his
wood pile and shot at it. He says it is
big bird with a gray spot on its breast.
and when he shot it flew at him.
don't know whether it's a bird of the
air or a beast of burden, but / do know
its something monstrous out of the ordi-
nary. Afraid of it? OH no, I'm not.
We've organized hunt for 1t tonight
and we propose to get it. I'll send you
word" But no word came and the
santer is supposedly still at large. My
informant gave it as his opinion that
the Thing stays during the day in the
old trees on the Baldwin place. There's
big holl0ws in them you know he
said.
Whatever it may be. certain it is that
the people in that section of Raleigh
are nightly upset and disturbed in
their minds about it, and the least de-
structive thing they mention in connec-
ton with it is an eagle. while many
shiver as they mutter@ panther" If
something is not doneN here will be a
drop in realty in that neighborhood.

News gets this from the Sam Francisco
Call: THE most dare devil act of the
war was performed by Sergeant Clemens;
j. Jones, of the Tennessee regiment. The
latter were opposed to the FiIipinos in
force, who We're entrenehed Over the
trenches flew a Filipino flag Boys | ain
going to get that kag,' said Jones, and
off he started. Jones is q big man, stand
ing over six feet in his stockings, and he
looked taller than ever when he started
out alone over the 'poddy' field for the
Filipino trenches. The enemy was at
first too much surprised at the man i
daring to fire upon him, but they soon
opened up and perfect hail of lead few
around the gallant soldier. When tie
fire became too hot he would lie down TOR
a few seconds, pick off "A venturesome
Filipino, and then resume his march
toward the trenches. When he reached
them the enemy around the flag broke
and ran, and Jones seized the flag aud
bore it back in triumph to the Tennessee
camp"
That Filipino flag is now one of the
treasures of the Tennessee regiment
Sergeant Jones is. so far as | know, the
only representative from Polk county in
the Philippine Islands, and those who
knew him as a boy. and later as young
man, will be gratifed to learn of his
fearless courage.

THE LEOPOLD UP FOR TWO YEARS
Judge Blair Sentences Several
Criminals,

Judge Blair disposed of some prisoners
yesterday. John Leon, professional
''crook," who has served terms in State
Prison and tine penitentiary, was sent to
State Prison for two years for highway
robbery. Leon whose professional name
is "The Leopold" sprang on Carl Dietz
of Second street, Hoboken, on the night
of February 26, and robbed him of mis-
gold watch.
Martin Schwartz and Frank Cook were
sent to State Prison for two years for
breaking, entering and larceny. They
were members of a gang which operated
extensively in the Standard Oil Com
pany's yards, in Bayonne during last
month stealing junk, brass from the en-
gines and stills and even the piston rods
of the engine. The gang which consisted
of five members, was surrounded one night
and Schwartz and Cook were captured.
The other three escaped.
Andrew Grogan, who pleaded guilty of
committing a burglary in William Gid
don's saloon in Hoboken on March 9,
was sent to the Penitentiary for eighteen
months.
Sentence was suspended in the case of
George N. Chisholm, who pleaded guilty
of stealing some junk from the Vulcan
Iron Company, by which he was en-
ployed.
Sentence was also suspended in the case
guilty of assault and battery He had
struck another boy with a snow ball and
Judge Blair didn't think that was much
of crime
