NVMEAANAAAVNS. DeeH supposed CnaC
the patriots who
founded the American republic did
their work we'll, and that later gen.
erations have strengthened, rather
than weakened the structure. But
complications have arisen, and crisis
is at hand. We have been forced to
the conclusion that after the year
1904, the country will either be with
out all executive, or an inferior person
will fill that important position. The
prospective candidates for this office
have in turn submitted their creden-
tials to the wiseacre at Lincoln, and
he has spurned them all. In turn he
has submitted his name to the people
upon two occasions, and the people
have with increasing vehemence de-
clared him incapable. This "Mene
meme tekel upharsin'' verdict is be-
ing delivered with such monotonous
frequency that there is ground for
grave apprehension that the people Of
the United States have grown so good,
SO great, that no man can be found
qualified to instruct or lead them.
Can it be that we will be forced to
import an executive from China or
some other favored CLINE where the
science of government is better un-
derstood?

law of Nebraska into ''innocuous desue.
tude." Evidently Judge Harlan and
other members of that judicial body had
never heard or perfectly comprehended
the stupendous arguments against the
Starch trust in this state, as made by
the peerless Bryan, the smithless Smyth
and the antique Oldham. Those dis
tinguished populists who in the fall of
1900, at Syracuse in the state of Nebras-
ka, originated the brilliant idea that
fight by them against the best material
interests of the state would rebound to
the glory of the conglomerate party
which they represented, have awakened
from very bad case of nightmare.
They begin to realize now that this
country does not desire to be Mexican
lied as to it's currency, nor pulverized
as to all of it's manufacturing interests.
The intention of that raid upon the
Starch works was to crush out one of
the largest, most productive and prom
ising industries in the entire common
wealth of Nebraska. The idea of the
development of great material indus
try never entered into the sconces Of
those rainbow chasing statesman, and
therefore it's destruction was a matter
to them of no consequence, except as
means of advancing and elevating the
cause of all the financial and economic
vagaries which they advocated.
But the Standard Oil Co., the Nation
al Starch Co., the Great Western Cereal
Co., and scores of other equally import
ant concerns, continue to do business in
Nebraska, to extend the field of their
operations, and to add new glories to
the commercial and manufacturing
interests of the commonwealth.

DISEASES OF CANE.
Pest Came Here in Cocoanut Husks
From Samoa.

At the afternoon session of the
Planters Association the report of r.
c. L. Perkins on the diseases of cane
was read at length by Andrew Adams.
The leaf hopper of Java came in for
the most attention of the specialist as
observed on the cane in Kauai. The
source of the pest is shown in cocoa
nut husks from Samoa. The establish
ment of a fumigation plant in this con-
nection at the Experiment Station was
urged.
j. NJ. Horner and Manager Forbes
had papers on deforestation, both urg-
ing active measures for forest preser-
walton. Irrigation" by NJ. NJ. o.

committee consisting of Thurston. Old

fer with the government with a view
to reaching conclusion whereby
methods leading to forest preservation
might be established.
F. NJ. Swanzy read a report of the
work of the experiment station and in
vited the managers to visit the insti-
tuition. One thirty this afternoon was
finally set for the visit. An adjourn
ment was taken until nine o'clock this
morning when the planters will meet in
the Judd building to discuss the labor
report and other matters.

FOR A RECOUNT.
Republican Managers Claim Ballots in
Kalapana Should Go Out.

The Republican managers in Hilo
have decided to attempt to throw out
the precinct of Kalapana, Puma on the
ground that the election in that pre-
cinct was illegally conducted. They
will also move for a recount of the Hilo
precinct. The specific grounds for
charging illegality at Kalapana are not
given out but it is known the claim will
be made that important safeguards
required by law We're not carried out.
The Hilo precinct, they claim, was not
properly counted, the judges of cleo
ton, allowing themselves to be bull
dozed by energetic Home Rulers.
If Kalapana is thrown out and Hilo
is given a correct count it will make a
startling change in the complexion of

Washington, Sept. s.-The sum of
gold now in the United States treasury
exceeds that of any previous time in
the history of the country and with
one exception exceeds that of any
country at any time in the history of
the world About eight years ago
Russia is said to have had in her treas
ury $59S.0O0,co0 in gold. Last Satur-
day the vaults of the United States
treasury contained S579,936,194, an in
crease since July /, 1901, of $79 9,0S7,-

added to at the rate of from 100000
to 100000 a day, with no immediate
prospect of a cessation in the rate of
deposits. This condition of affairs is
eminantly satisfactory to the treasury
officials, who regard it as the best pos
sible evidence Of prosperity and con-
fidence in the financiay stability OF
this country.

HAYTIEN GUNBOAT SUNK.
Germans Fire Into Craft and Send it
to Bottom.

Cape Haytien, Hayti, Sept. S.-Un-
der orders of the German government
the German gunboat Panther has fired
into and sunk the Haytien gunboat
Crete-a-Pierrot, which was being used
by Admiral Killick in the service of
General Firmin, the revolutionary as
pirant for the presidency of Hayti.
The destruction of the Crete-a-Pier-
rot, it is presumed, was the direct re-
suit of its having stopped the German
steamship Markomannia Sept. 2,
searched her and seized the arms on
board that had been consigned to the
provisional government of this repub-
lie.
No lives were lost when the Firmin-
ist boat went down, as the crew had
been given time to escape. The Crete
a-Pierrot now lies at the bottom of the
harbor of Gonaives, shot full of holes.
She was the sole boat in General FIR
MINIS navy.
The destruction of the Crete-a-Pier-
rot will probably be justified on the
ground that she was a pirate craft.
There is no doubt 5fiere that the sink
ing of the vessel was for reparation or
revenge demanded in view of the
seach of the German merchantmen.
General Sam, one time president of
Hayti, from which country he was
forced TO fee for his life, is keenly
watching the present revolution with
the hope of being able to regain con-
troll once more.

Strike Enters Upon Eigh-
teenth Week Today.
LINES TIGHTLY DRAWN
The Only Move Now in Contemplation
Is the Suggestion Of Governor Stone
to Call a Special Session of the Leg,
islature.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. s.-The an
thracite mine workers strike enters
on it's eighteenth week today with the
lines between the operator and the
miner drawn almost as tightly as when
the suspension was started on May II.
There were many predictions that
the contest would be over by the first
week in September, but il the officials
of the Mineworkers' union are to be
believed the struggle will continue for
months unless the coal companies
grant concessions. Some of the oper-
ators looked for serious break in the
ranks of the men weeks ago and ad-
nit they are surprised at the way the
strikers are holding out.
Rumors are current and in fact,
statements have been made by promi-
nent men both in and out of the coal
trade that the strike will be ended
this month President Mitchell of the
miners union maintains he knows
nothing of a possible early ending Of
the trouble nor of any negotiations on
foot looking to that end.
The only move now in contempla-
ton is the suggestion that Governor
Stone call an extra session of the leg
islature for the purpose of passing a
law that would have the effect of amic-
ably and speedily ending the deadlock.
Governor Stone has given the matter
considerable thought and has announc-
ed that if bill can be framed that
will have the desired effect he will
convoke the legislature Immediately.
Operators Surprised.
Some of the operators admit they
are surprised at the way the strikers
are holding out.
Last week more coal left the mining
region than in any week since the
strike began Statements have been
made by mining officials tnat the ship
ment for the last six working days ag-
gregated 100000 tons. The normal
weekly output is little more than
100000 tons. The strikers and their
officials dispute the claims of the min
ing superintendents and maintain that
most of the coal now going to the mar
ket is washed" from the culm piles.
Few Miners at Work.
The number of men at work in the
anthracite field is difficult to obtain
The number compared with the total
number of workers ESTIMATED at 145,-
000) is small and that among those
at work the certificate miners are few.
Coal is being cut in some of the mines,
but much of it is being done by boss
es" who are experienced miners. The
coal companies say they have long
lists of names of men who are ready
to return to work, but are unwilling
to take the chance because they fear
violence.
Company officials do not look for a
rapid decline in the price of coal after
the strike is over because the demand
will be greater than the supply.
President Mitchell says there was
nothing new III the situation and that
he knew of no plan for settlement.
Denies Strike Is Ended.
Huntington. Wis, Sept S.--Secreta
ry Treasurer Wilson of the United
Mine Workers denies that the strike is
settled in the mines along the Cheasa-.
peake and Ohio railway
