reduce the national debt, yet
such is the condition of the
national treasurey that there is
no necessity for the continuance
of the revenue taxes to which
the cXigencies of the Spanish
war gave rise. National expen-
SEES are greater, but instead of
deficit we have a surplus. The
explanation is that from 1898 to
1897 the economic policy of the
country Free-Trade, was in prac-
teal effect, while today the
American system of Protection to
American industries is the econo-
mic policy of the country. The
contrast between the two periods
is worth a volume of argument,
and especially so inasmuch as it
is only a repetition of what we
have seen more than once be-
fore. Under Protection both

ury are full. to OVERLOOKING; under
Free-Trade both are empty

Early Worms.
Journal

J. 3. Kitchen, of Farman,
transacted business in Lexington
last Tuesday. In conversation
with Pioneer scribe he stated
that some kind of worm had
appeared in the winter rye and
wheat fields in that section of
the country and had killed many
acres of the grain. He said that
a number of worms had been sent
to Prof. Burner, of the State
University at Lincoln, who pro-
nounced them to be fall army
worms, and who expressed the
belief that upon the advent of
warm weather they would disap-
pear. Mr.. Kitchen said the
worms cut the grain stalk just
at the surface of the ground or
a little under, and that they took
everything as they went. No
reports of their presence in any
other part of the county have
been received at this office.
LATER--Yesterday several
farmers from Platte and Ringold
prencints were in the city and
reported the worms numerous in
several localities in those pre-
cints. 1t would be we'll for farm
ers over the comfy to examine
their grain fields. Pioneer.

The Cuban Case.

The political problem of Cuba
has been solved. The govern
ment of Intervention, which has
administered affairs here for the
last three years and half with
such distinguished fidelity and
success, is on the eve of reSigning
its trust. The new government
about to be installed, brings with
it the assurance that peace will
continue and that integrity will
characterize its administration.
1t will receive at the hands of
the American trustees a simple
and workable system of civil
government, with revenues ample
for immediate requirements.
The municipalities of the Is
land have been reorganized and
made self-dependent; their police
protection gives security; tn cir
educational facilities, although
new to them, are practical, popu-
lar and growing, and their san
itation is effective, if not yet
complete. Contagious diseases,
including the dreaded yellow
fever, have been entirely elimin-
ated. Hospitals are ready to re-
ceive the sick and afflicted and
charitable institutions are pro-
vided for the poor and helpless.
For the Island itself there is the
customs revenue service, scrupul-
ously administered, and post
offices and post roads have be-
come general. The entire
machinery of a modern, wei
organized state is today in free
and effective operation. The
American administrators, direct
ed by the tireless energy of the
Military Governor, have done
their part we'll, having earned
the approval of their government

Deputy Labor Commissioner
Watson is going to make an at
tempt to collect agricultural
statistics for Nebraska this sea-

taxes is a probability of the near
future will be received by every

midst of the universal satisfact-

for a moment the significance of
such move. From 1898 to 1897,
when profound peace reigned,
when there were absolutely no eX-

continued to fall below the

More or Less Personal.

A rumor that comes down from
Omaha concerning peppery in
terview between Attorney Ben
White of the Elkhorn and Joe
BARLEY may give some clue to
the origin of of the Chicago
Chronicle article to the effect
that Governor Savage would at
tempt to hold the railroads up
for a nomination. BARLEY, it is
said, called on Mr.. White and in
formed him that unless the rail-
roads saw to it that a nomina-
ton was duly furnished, the
governor would proceed to slit
the threats of the corporations
from ear to ear. While the SLIT
ing was going on BARLEY thought
the Elkhorn would get a little
extra lunge of the knife, perhaps
enough to take it's head right off
its shoulders. The story goes
that White simply said that he
"didn't want to talk with con-
vict." Immediately after that
incident the Chicago article APP
peared. Around the state house
it is occasionally whispered that
Col. Bob Clancy was the author
of the Chronicle article, but the
newspaper people down town are
more inclined to believe that d.
Fl. Bradley of the World-Herald
put it together. Bradley was
here looking into things couple
of days before the bombshell ex-
ploded.

For the third time in success
sion the city of Broken Bow has
voted out saloons. The expert
encc of the past two years with
out saloons evidently has proven
highly satisfactory to the voting
population of the city, as was
shown by the increased majority
against license Tuesday. OF the
$50 votes cast in the city election
there were only % votes for Ii
CenSe. A number of the bust
ness men, who formerly support
ed saloon license, are now frank
in their acknowledgment that
instead of saloons being a bene-
fit to the trade, that they were
an injury, They say trade was
better last year than in previous
years, and that in every particu-
lar, we have a better town. They
claim, that while a few like
| Ephram of old are joined OF their
idol, drink as much or more than
they would had we saloons,
there are ten times more people
who do not drink at all with the
temptation of saloons removed.
Many who could not resist the
temptation of an open saloon,
now do without and spend their
money for clothing and groceries
for their families. Those who
send off and buy their whiskey
by the jug and beer by the case,
are few compared to the number
that would frequent saloons
The old topper who will have his
drink at any cost cannot last
many years at most. There are
in Broken Bow probably 8 men we
, could name that will not last more
than 5 to 10 years at the present
, pace they are going and there Is
apparently no help for it. They
, have not the will-power to con
troll their appetite and except the
intervention of Divine powe
, they are doomed victims of tn,
, drink habit. The only thing t.
, do is to see that others do no

Mr., Royse. secretary of the
state banking board, has prepar-
ed his annual report, and it is
now iii the hands of the printers.
In it he makes several valuable
suggestions which will probably
receive respectful consideration,
i'll view of certain banking
calamities which have recently
occurred, to the distress and ruin
of conhding depositors. He
advocates certain amendments
to the banking laws, which will
make it more difficult for cashiers
and other bank officials to rob
the establishments with which
they are connected; and as he is
thoroughly familiar with his
subject, and has given this phase
of it much study, his recommend
ations should be practical. The
man who devises a plan that will
protect banks and their patrons
from the operations of dishonest
or speculative officials is public
benefactor. The wrecking OF
the Bellwood bank was an object
lesson, showing how ruin and
misery may be brought to hundr,
eds of industrious people by the
misbehavior of cunning rascal
unrestrained. Mr.. Royse de.
serves credit for endeavoring to
point out how the rascals may be-
restrained, and his report should
have the careful consideration OF
the next Nebraska Legislature. -
