ssTHE COMMONER.
The First Issue Has just Come
Out at Lincoln, Neb.

Out at Lincoln, Neb.
No adventure in journalism ever
attracted the degree of attention
that has been given in advance to
the Commoner, the weekly paper
whose first 6umber has just ap~
p ared at Lincoln, Nebraska, with
the name of William J. Bryan as
editor and proprietor. The first
r. ason for this, of course, is that
Mr.. Bryan has been so conspicu-
ously in the public view that more
or lessinterest must attach to his
appearance in a new field in which
he will have free opportunity for
the expression of his views. Bes
yond this is the deeper reason
that NJ Br, an is recognized as a
man who has views to express
that are worth attention
Any one who has ever had to
do with starting a new periodical
knows how unsatisfactory first
number usually is aud how seldom
it reaches the standard the editor
has sci. But the first number of
the CommoDor strikes character-
istic note that goes far 10 explain
its editors hold upon the public.
1t is the note of earnestness and
sincerity. of absolu e beliefio and
devotion to ssthe common people"
ana firm conviction of the princi-
pies Of popular government.

Fort DE France, lsland OF Mar-
Unique, Jan, 24.-(Via Haytion
Cable. )-Tho following report Is
filed here to avoid the press CEN
sorship in Venezuela, making ca
bling of news from that country
almost impossible.
"The attitude Of the Govern
ment of Venezuela toward the
Bermudez ASphalt Company
(American) is hostile, for the
reason that the concessions re-
Gently accorded by the Govern
ment have been given to people
in touch with the Government and
who would like to resell them to
the Bermudez Company. The
Government having refused to
accede to the request Of the Amer
lean Mn; ster, who demanded
suspension af action on the part
of the new concessi0nisfs IN TAX
ing possession of their grants,
strained relations between Vene-
zueIa aud the United States re-
suited, and war vessels are ex-
pected to return to La Guara,
and if he Venezuelan Government
employs force to. stake possession
of the asphalt LAKE, it is believed
&c United States guxllisry cEriser
Scorpion will land an armed

"The attitude Of the sVenezue-
lans towards Americans is hos
tile. On the 18Th Of ibis month the

act cause of the mntlny Is not

Accurate details are not OBJ
tainahle regarding the sinking OF
the British sloop Maria Teresa by
the Venez gunboat Miranda
1t is supposed the Mari Teresa

of arms intended fer The Veoezner
Ian revolutiogist1, and that she
was met by The M Mranda, which
wishing to take possession Of her

by so doing set her on fire, afte
which ste sank, according to on
report.
"Very little information is oh
tainable regarding the movement
of the Venezdelan insurgents en-
the troops of the Government G

rection appears to be localized be
tween Gumana and the extrem
northeast of Venezuela. The ir
surgents have again taken posses

Hanged Two Men at Once.

Ex-Sheriff Knapp, of Wyoming Coun-
ty, was in town few days ago, which
recalls the fact that lis the only Off
cial of that county who ever hanged
two men at the same time The men
in question were Rosenwig and Blank,
who were convicted of numbering a
peddler in the mountains not a great
way from Tunkhannock. At 11:3O
o'clock the night before the execution 1
visited the Wyoming County jail, where
the condemned murderers were prepar-
ing for the grewsome ordeal which
would send them to eternity. While
seated in Sheriff Knapp's office Deputy
Dan Thompson entered. He carried
two pine boards, probably s feet long
and 10 inches wide, and at both ends
of each were straps running through
mortice. Twill there be anything
more?" asked Thompson of the sheriff.
Yes, one thing more," replied Knapp;
"get boiler of hot water, for the men
want to finish up by taking a bath"
There was a peculiar suggestiveness
about the arrangements of the boards
and asked Knapp for what purpose
they were to be used. His reply was:,.
well, 1 have an idea that both Rosen-
wig and Blank will get shaky in the
knees just at the last moment, and if
they do I'm going to strap them on
these boards, and l guess that'l stiffen
them up. All 1 want is to get them to
stand long enough to get the rope
around their necks and the black caps
on, and I'll show up an execution that
will be done up to the queens taste''
Fortunately, the boards were not re-
quired for the purpose intended, for Ro-
senwig and Blank met their fate on the
gallows with a courage that was re-
markable.-Scranton Republican.
