There are Home journals" in every

land, devoted to lnstructing women in

might have share in the sublime
tasks of creating happiness and de-
serving love.

who was Miss Lee of New York. The
Countess Won Waldersee was the most
bitter ana powerful Of the enemies Of
Prince Bismarck. 7. p. O'Connor says
Of the Countess and the international
Count"
up to the time Of his marriage
Count Waldersee devoted himself en-
tirely to his military duties. Under
began gradually to take an
active interest in politics. Count
tess Waldersee is one Of the
cleverest and most audaciousIy
ambitious women in all Europe. ana in
the early eighties she was one Of the
most attractive. Even now. although
Wen advanced in years she is singu-
larry charming. at once brilliant and
sympathetic. If rumor ~ to be relied
upon, no sooner was she married to
Count Waldersee than she made UP
her mind that he should be installed in
Prince Bismarck's place as Imperial
Chancellor. BE this as ID may, she
certainly threw herself eagerly into
every movement that had for its OBJ
iect the thWarting Of Bismarck, ana
she chose out his bitterest enemies for
her special friends.
DR.. Stocker, the famous court chap
lain whom Bismarck dismissed from
his Office, was her cOadjutor and ad-
wiser in all she did. As time passed
she founded her sajou-the first and
last that Berlin has ever yet seeu-aud
a perfect hotbed Of anti Bismarck in
trigues it was. IF anti Semitic IT'LL
trigues, too, for the countess hates the
Jews only one degree less bitterly than
she used to hate Bismarck She has
imbued her husband, too, with her
feelings On this point: indeed. If the
anti-Semite journals are to be be
lieved. he is now as strong an anti
Semitic as she is, and would be the
leader Of the anti-Semite party We're
he not a soldier.
Meanwhile the countess had gained
unbounded influence over the present
kaiSeTin. to whom her first husband
was related; she had gained too. the
firm friendship Of the present kaiser
then Prince William. She is the only
woman, indeed to whom His Majesty
has ever been known either to listen
with serious attention or to appeal for
advice. In those troublesome DAYS that
followed the old kaisers death hardly
a day passed without his paying her a
visit. He would discuss social prob
lens with her for the hour together.
and whenever he appeared in public
her husband was by his side.
NATURALLY enough, Prince Bismarck
had from the first regarded the friend
ship between Prince William and the
Waldersees with scant approval: he
went out of his way, indeed more than
once TO treat the countess with marked
rudeness When he took to hurting
sarcasms she was one of his favorite
targets. 1t was not. however. until
Prince William was kaiser that the old
chancellor realized how formidable a
rival he had. Then he soon became
thoroughly alarmed; for not only did
His Majesty continue to lavish marks
of his favor on the count, but upon
more than one occasion he turned
pointedly from Bismarck to him for
advice"

A STUDY OF NEBRASKA.

When the present campaign opened it
found the state of Nebraska a decidedly
poor field for republicans. The fusion
lists had complete control of the state
government (every state institution
working for the fusion ticket), while
four of the six congressman, one of the
senators and majority of the supreme
court were theirs, and the denomination
of w. J. Bryan seemed to assure to them
the electoral vote of the state. Control
of the legislature counted for nothing,
for it's only republican act had been
negatived by death and it had adjourned
eighteen months before the campaign
begun. Republicans did not base many
hopes on their record of carrying the
legislature in 1898, for then Mr.. Bryan
was in the army and took no part in the
contest. 1t was discouraging outlook
and the battle was storm swept, bitter
and hard. fought one of which we in the
east can have little conception. What
is the result? Republican gains in
almost every precinct, four fusionist
congressman elected by hundreds where

ARMY REORGANIZATION.

In the plan of army reorganization
prepared by Secretary Root congress
should recognize what appears to be
final and satisfactory solution of diff
cult problem. In brief this plan pro-
vides for the establishment of perma-
nent organization of $4,000 men. This
will be the nations regular army, the
nucleus of whatever land force is to be
raised in time of war. The president,
by the terms Of the plan, will hold dis.
cretionary authority to increase this
army up to maximum of 100, 900, each
company of sixty men being recruited
up to it's full maximum strength of 1870.
The advantages of this plan should
be obvious, for while it does away with
the maintenance of large army, most
of it useless much of the time, it
renders possible the calling of formid.
able army into being on short notice
and without the delay involved in wait
ing for congressional action. It is OBJ
viously far easier to raise companies of
sixty to companies of 1870, by the simple
process of gradually absorbing recruits,

than to drill company composed en-
tirely of raw recruits into anything like
military efficiency. In other words, it
is easier to fill the ranks of we'll. off.
cered regular army, keeping it up to
the efficiency of regular forces, than it
is. to build q considerable part of an
army separately and anew.
The elasticity Of such an organization
thus makes it peculiarly adaptable to
the needs of nation which means to
pursue peaceful policy but must be
ready to act quickly if hostile action be
needed. Secretary Roots plan would
entail upan the government the burden
of actually supporting only $4,000 men,
but while the cost and care would he
thus limited the nation would have in
effect the advantages of protection
which an army twice the size would
give.
The arrangement, of course, would
require special care in providing for an
adequate complement of officers, but
the practicability of getting officers
seems to have been shown by recent ex-
perience. The nations land forces were
suddenly increased threefold -practi
cally from $4,000 to 100000. While the
process imposed strain, and many regi-
ments were badly underofficered, there
is no reason to believe that it would not
be perfectly feasible to officer an army
of 100, 900 with only half that number
as permanent basis. If it involved in
some cases the placing of recently grad
uated officers in responsible positions, it
would quicken the process of promotion
and tend to bring the actual command
of regiments more and more into the
hands of men in the prime of early mid.

Secretary Roots plan in it's general
outline merits the nations approval

"WHEN LOVE is KING"

1t is always sincere pleasure to rec
ognize and to commend the worth of a
literary work produced by one who
dwells in our own state. We have re-
ceived from Mrs. Isabel Richey of Platts-
mouth, Nebraska, book entitled "When
Love is King" This title is also given
to the first and longest poem in the vol.
ume. This narrative poem shows the
charming gift of genius which enables
the author to describe the ordinary
events of life in a manner made attrac-
tive by its simplicity and it's truly poet
ical style. The readers attention is
held while the story is easily and skill
fully told.
Shorter contributions of musical verse
and prose, each gemmed with beauty of
thought, complete the pages of Mrs.
Richey's book, from which is taken the
following selection:
WEALTH
Who has such vast wealth as l,
Such unending pleasure:
Golden sun and sapphire sky.
Em'rald fields that ripping lie
Far as eye can measure.
Discs of gold are at my feet,
Diamonds gem the grasses,
Priceless incense, rich and sweet,
From the flowers among the wheat
On each breeze that passes.
Silver streams that murmur low
'Gainst their pearlset edges,
Silver stars that softly glow,
Or parti-colored bow,
Bending Der the hedges.
Purple velvet curtains fall
Where the sun is setting,
Amber fire-flies DER the wall
OF the misty evening crawl
On a white lace netting.
All is mine, and if you will
All is yours wayfarer
Each may own the vale and hill,
Each may gaze and gaze his fill;
Come, be welcome sharer.
The Conservative, 1900-11-22

four and two years ago they had thous-
ands, two republican congressman by
larger pluralities, the electoral vote for
Mckinley, the whole state ticket and
majority of the legislature republican,
insuring union in legislation and two
republican United States senator's. 1t
certainly was to the majority party a
glorious and surprising victory.
Yet upon the party heavy RESPONSE
bility is laid. It has, we opine, we'll
learned it's lessons of adversely. It's
nominees of recent years have been men
of high character. It can no longer put
up "yaller dogs" and hope to elect
them. To that extent populism has
benefited Nebraska in purifying the
great party. No more of it's state off,
GERS will be tried and convicted of en-
bezzlement and no more state money
will be lost by bank wreckers who are
sent to federal prisons. The new legis-
lature must readjust the congressional
boundaries according to the new census,
and probably will have to cut down the
number of districts to five owing to the
small increase in population. It should
also readjust the legislative boundaries,
which have not been changed in twenty
years. The petty jealousies of the older,
long settled rural counties prevented
this act of justice from consummation
ten years ago in much the same way in
which the little towns of Connecticut hug
their rights of century ago and decline
to yield them to the demands of growth
and progress. For example, Richard
son county, in the extreme southeast
corner, has one senator and three repre-
sentatives with it's 5000 votes, while
Douglas (Omaha), with six times those
votes, has but three times the members
of the legislature. The constitution of
the state declares that after each state
census, which shall be taken at inter.
walls of ten years from 1885, and also
after every national census, the bound.
aries of the legislative districts shall be
set in accordance with the showings of
that census, but the quarrelings of the
various sections, especially the envy of
the old counties and the rivalry of
Omaha and Lincoln, have prevented
this action. And while on this point it
may be well to add that in spite of the
constitutional order (''shall'' for state
canvass every ten years, none was taken
in 1895 because of it's expense and the
bad plight in which it would have re.
vealed the state after it had so greatly
suffered from drouth and consequent
crop failures. And so Nebraska returns
to republicanism. Except as populism
has made better the opposing party by
the Christening influence of affiiction, it
is difficult to see wherein the experiment
has helped the state. Scandals have
