Our Work is Our Existence

Therefore it stands us in hand
to be extremely careful in what
manner we do our work. A thor
ough knowledge of the manner in
which Laundry Work ought to be
done is first of all absolutely nee
cessary. This we have acquired
by practical study and years of
experience in the laundry business
That we do the work right is evi-
dent by the fact that our business
is steadily increasing. Having
lately again largely increased our
capacity we wish to say to all
those who have not yet tried our
laundry to do SO at their earliest
convenience. We treat everybody
right and positively guarantee all
our work. No shrinking of fan-
nels, 10 fading of colors. Our
wagon will call on request.

TIE AhMI NOMINATIONS.

The nominations by the president

be generally approved and it is pre-
part of the senate i'm confirming them.
II was reported that Mr.. Mckinley had
been urged to appoint some other officer
than Miles to be lieutenant general.

the nomination of General Miles was
the proper thing to do. He is entitled
to the rank and 1t would have been an
Injustice not TO have given it to him.
The promotion of Chaffec and Mac
Arthur TO be major generals in the reg;

made an excellent record in China and
Macarthur has done well In the Phil

generals are all meritorous and none
more SO than that of General Leonard
this will not he the universal view in
army circles. II must be admitted, how.
ever, that while General Woods mill
tary achievements have not been espe-
cially distinguished, his services in
Cuba have been so meritorious as to
give him fair claim to n brigadier
generalship in the regular army. 1t is
not improbable that the promotion of
General Frederick ID. Grant will be dis
pleasing to some of the officers of the
army, but Grant has done good service
in the Philippines and shown himself
to be n capable officer.
Disappointments are inevitable in a
matter of this kind and there will un-
doubtedly be criticism of some of the
nominations, but on the whole the pres

POPULAR ELECTION or SENATOR'S.
One of the GREAT Reforms the New
Century Must secure.

Baltimore sun.
a Lincoln, Neb,, dispatch TO the New
York World states that the senatorial con
test in Nebraska is practically battle be-
tween two railroad companies. each OF
which is anxious TO secure control OF the
legislature and the state. THE legislators
and the candidates" asserts the Worlds
correspondent. are merely puppets; the
actual contestants are the railroads" The
men who devised and established the gov
ernment under which we live never con-
templated that the election OF a senator
would be subject to such influences. The
senate was created for the purpose of main
tanning equality between the states as well
as TO exercise a conservative restraint upon
the popular branch OF congress or late
years an entirely different view has been
taken OF the functions OF the senate and Of
senator's, and men are sometimes sent to the
higher branch OF the national legislature to
represent other interests than those OF the
people OF a state or OF the United States.
The Nebraska conception OF the senate for
instance. seems to be that It is body which
exists for the purpose Of maintaining the
balance between rival railroad corporations
instead OF between the several states OF the
union. II is undeniable that senators are
frequently chosen not so much with respect
TO their ability to serve their states and
the country as for reasons OF a radically
different character. Not until members OF
the upper branch Of congress are chosen
directly by the people and elected by popu-
lar vote will It be possible TO make the
office Of senator what 1t was originally in
tended 10 be. That is one OF the reforms
which may be accomplished in the TWEEN
tieth century II the people have a prudent
regard for their own interests.

PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS,


In letter to the New York Tribune
Hon. John w. Foster, former secre-
tary of state, gives an interesting ac-
count of existing conditions in Mexico.
That republic has made great progress
during the past twenty years and today
tions. 1t is also one of the most wisely
governed countries. Mr.. Foster notes
that there is everywhere evidence of
peace and security to persons and prop
erty. In this respect the country has
undergone complete transformation
within the last quarter of century.
There Is relatively far less violence and
outlawry in Mexico than in the United
States and Mr.. Foster says that in few
countries of the world is better protec-
ton afforded to persons and property.
This state of civil order is due pri
marily to the maintenance of a govern
ment of peace and of a continuous con-
sttutional regime. Since the advent of
President Diaz in 1876 there has been
no foreign war and no serious internal
disturbance, while that very able states
man has devoted himself to developing
the resources of Mexico and to building
up the industries and commerce of the
country. In this work he has been
greatly successful and today the coun-
try is prosperous and is moving steadily
forward. unquestionably there is II
splendid future for Mexico il the poll
cies that have brought the country to
its present position shall be maintained,
as certainly they will be so long as
President Diaz continues at the head of

This doleful word-plcturc is not whit

ing and its municipal government con
Quoted on n plane of economy and eff
cheney that compares well with that of
other cities properly belonging in the

CATION by unprejudiced observers will
give cause for optimism rather than
pessimism, and for that reason taxpay-
ers and citizens generally should be en-
couraged to keep themselves informed

THE COMMON PEOPLE.
A Few Pointed Remarks on the PO-
liticaI Aspect of Energy.

]. Sterling Mortor's Conservative.
A hundred years ago John Jacob Astor
of New York was very common German
emigrant. But he had uncommon Judge
ment, energy, temperance, industry and
frugality. Exercising all these potentian-
ties with judcious efficiency he became a
man Of property. He left, at his death,
great wealth to his descendants. Vast public
benefits have accrued to the common people
of New York because of his uncommon
judgment and his accumulative sagacity.
The Astor free library is only one of the
monuments to his character, acquisitive-
ness and the name. Yet demagogues in 1901
derounce his posterity-which in every
war has furnished patriotic and gallant de-
tenders OF the United States-as plutocrats
and unworthy the respect of plain people.
Philip ID. Armour fifty years ago was a
day laborer and yet when he died in the
beginning OF this year he left a gigantic for
tune. notwithstanding he had endowed col
leges nd established institutions of charity
and religion which had taken away from
his fortune several Millions OF dollars. He
was of the common people, raised in frugal
industry, Injured to hardship and ennobled
by physical and intellectual labor. His

with energy. nerve with ambition the sons
of the people for generations to come, while
the oratory which denounces men for ac-
quiring and controlling capital will be re-
mem bcred only as phenomenal eruptions ol
sefseeking demagogy.
Less than fifty years since a brawny lad
of Scotland came TO America and to work
among the common people with uncommon
power and perception of opportunities. His

Combine of the Coal Roads.
Buffalo EXDresS


1t is estimated thai the coal-carrying
roads controlled by the Morgan syndicate
had an anthracite tonnage in 1899 OF 3O,1O9,-
1853, while the non Morgan roads had a ton
mage of 1861. .4GO. The Morgan companies
are given as the Reading. Jersey Central,
Lehigh, Delaware, Susquehanna e. West
ern, Erie, New York. Susquehanna & West
ern and the Pennsylvania Coal company
Though the figures are not yet available II
is probable that about the same relative
tonnage was maintained in 1900 The
Engineering News estimates that by the es-
tabllshment of harmony between the Van
derbilt- Morgan interests and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad about 90 per cent OF the out
put OF anthracite coal is virtually controlled
by the syndicate and its friends. How the
public will be affected by this situation re-
mains to be seen.

NOT ENOUGH OF 4 GOOD THING.

The annual conferences of taxpayers
committees with members of the council
and city officials about the time tax
levy Is in sight would accomplish more
good and be more likely to produce
results If they were repeated periodically
throughout the year. 1t does not hurt
public officer to have the fact inn
pressed upon him that he Is not an in
dependent and irresponsible entity, but
rather public servant representing
public interests for which he Is account
able to the citizens rs n whole.
One equally desirable result which
might be expected from more frequent
Interchange of ideas between taxpayers
and officials would be the repression of
the chronic kicker who always sees
everything through calamity-hucd spec
tacles. To this despondent individual
the city is always on the verge of bank
ruptcy; ruinous tax rates are contiscat-
ing his property; the public credit is on
the brink of destruction. never again to
be restored, and the whole community
is SO menaced with reputation for bad
city government and oppressive tax
burdens that it's future growth Is sure
to be blocked because no forcsightcd
business establishment will locate in IL

ANOTHER GREAT CONSPIRACY.

There has been more matter published
about Queen Victoria during the last ok
than one man could read in n thousand
years. II Is a great thing for the plutocratic
daiiies, whose chief object for the last four
yeais has been to keep he pc 1ple attention
directed to anything and everything that
does not bear upon their plan to make this
republic an empire and place the fortunes
Of the people in the hands of clique located
in Wall street.-Nebraska Independent.
This is the first the people knew that
they were being made the victims of
another great conspiracy hatchcd in
Wall street and carried into execution
by the wicked money power. But, on
the word of the official populist organ
of this state they will have to accept
it as true.
Were il not for this great conspiracy
Queen Victoria would be still alive and
her mourning subjects the world over
still rejoicing at her protracted reign.
The queens death was precipitated by
the conspirators simply and solely to
monopOlize the columns of the press
and keep the newspapers from devoting
their space and energies to the rescue
of the common people from the grinding
eXactions of the avarlcious plutocrats.
Only by diverting public attention to
the departure from life of Britan's
cherished monarch could the odous
money power accomplish its hellish de-
signs, and, of course, it would stop on
no sacrifice necessary to insure success.
The foul conspiracy to make money
scarce and dear has up to this time met
with constant and dire disaster In
stead of money becoming scarce and
dear it has steadily become more plenti-
ful and cheap. The situation of the
conspirators is indeed desperate. They
must do something to save themselves
if all the crowned heads of Europe have
to be offered up.

Civilizations Example Catching.

There has been fierce battle in Abys-

and circumstances of these outbreaks OF
war frenzy among the barbarians are as
yet unknown. Tho incidents, however, evoke
reflections on the comparative rarity OF
conflicts on a large scale among the nations
which we regard as semi-civilzed. The
barbarians have much to learn before they
shall reach the level Of the cultured ma
tions in the art of making war frequent
and thus counteracting the ignoble effects

Senators are having a good deal OF quiet

Of a well known journal this month with

Mrs Scott, Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. Martin
Mrs Bate, Mrs, HansbTough, and more than
