BONE MARKET SUPREME.

In his address to which we have here
tofore referred, Mr.. Carnegie empha-
sized the assertion that the most power
full weapon in c~onQuering foreign mar
kets is a profitable home market. IN
vasion of Europe, especially of Great
Britain" he is reported to have said,
"by American manufacturers is not to
be apprehended to any considerable ex-
tent, except at rare intervals, because
the home market in America took SO
per cent Of the manufactured articles,
hence our prosperity" He declared that
foreign is a braggart always
in evidence at home; internal commerce
is the true king" No II understands
better than Andrew Carnegie the value
Of the American home market, alike for
our manufacturing industries and our
agricultural producers.
1t is this home market, as lie says,
that has made us prosperous and COM
mercially and financially powerful and
no effort should be spared to maintain
it. The hope of the agricultural pro-
ducers of the United States is in their
home market and the policy that will
build up that market should be their
policy. The home market has been Gre
ated and is sustained by the policy of
protection. Before that economic prln-
ciple was firmly established nothing was
heard about q home market. Before the
republican party began the work OF
building up American industries our ag-
rlcultural producers looked abroad for
their markets. 1t was from that source
they expected a recompense for their la
Dor. There was little reliance to be
placed upon the home market, because
labor was poorly employed and not well
paid. The average consumption of our
people was small. The old democratic
tariffs "for revenue only did not per-
NIT of industrial development and there
was consequently little demand for Ia
Dor. Nearly everything in the line of
manufactures used by our people was
imported. In 1856 Horace Greeley,
"AANAAo VI nv NNpAOAablC NOuulllOuH lDtu
existing, ascribed the cause to the
steady outflow Of gold to pay foreign
laborers for the cloth, the shoes, the iron
and other things that could be produced
by American labor, but which were not
produced owing to the revenue system.
So far as the home market was con.
cerned at that time there was no en-
cOuragement for our agricultural pro
ducers.
II democratic policy had continued tC
prevail can any rational man believe
that we should have realized the in
dustrial and agricultural development OF
the last t~hirty-hve yearsf Can there bt
a reasonable doubt that under the blight
ing effects Of that policy we should now

THOU SRALT NOT KISS.

v The Missouri Valley Homeopathic So
ciety has startled the scientific world
and shocked all womankind by its sol
emn and specific declaration not only
against promiscuous public smacks at
the railway stations and weddings, but
also against the spontaneous kissing
either in broad daylight or in the dark.
These conclusions were reached after
profound elaboration over the contribu-
ton on sanitary science made by DIR. Z.
made a special study Of the subject and
after many tests feels convinced that
the kissing habit is as unhygienic as it
is agreeable.
= The eminent ~osculist, who at one leap
has gained international prominence, i'm
plores all men and women who desire
to remain healthy, happy and sage to
express their affection toward each other
In the Eskimo fashion, by touching noses
rather than lips. This they will doubt
less do when they are assured that kiss
ing is the mother as well as the father
Of skin diseases, tuberculosis and the
majority of infectious maladies to which
human flesh is heir. not including. of
course, infections from kissing enameled
cheeks, French fashion.
1t now remains for Nebraska to set in
motion the life-saving agitation by or
ganizing anti-kissing societies in every
farmhouse, hamlet, village and town.
Let us stamp out the contagious cpl
demic and make Nebraska as salubrious
as Alaska. Let us for once get ahead of
Kansas, the hotbed and incubator of all
isms, by raising the anti-kissing banner
to the skies and planting the standard
on the outer wall emblazoned with the
eleventh commandment, Thou shalt not
kiss"

CUBA On TRIAL.

The lately renewed discussion of the
ultimate fate of Cuba. whether in this
country or in the new republic, is pre-.
mature. 1t is futile as well as untimeiy
now to meet the question of annexation,
most certainly from the standpoint Of
the American people.
The Cubans are in fact on trial and
have yet to prove their capacity for self
government. Whatever opinion individ-
uals may entertain of their capacity and
whatever the fact may really be in that
respect, it is a matter that can be settled
only by the course of events. Nothing
can be more certain than that anarchy
and disagreement will not be per
mitted as a permanent condition in
Cuba. In their own self-interest the
American people cannot permit it. They
interviewed at last on this very ground
TO put an end to Spanish misrule in
Cuba.
1t was no part Of the American pur-
pose to substitute Cuban for Spanish
misrule. Every possible effort has been
put forth by the United States to aid
Cuba to establish a stable and salutary
government. AS soon as Spanish au-
thority was ousted the Americans were
for several years at enormous expense
not only to maintain order, but also to
establish good sanitary conditions, to
provide educational facilities and to
build up the public administration on
modern and endurable conditions, while
the Cubans were rallying from the pros
trations and ravages Of a protracted
war, preparing to take the reins of au-
thority into their own hands.
But when at length the government
was turned over to them, a few months
ago, it was only on the fundamental con-
dition that they should prove themselves
worthy of it. The Platt amendment i'm
poses restrictions not only upon their
foreign, but also upon their domestic
relations, and particularly Restraints
their power Of creating public financial
obligations. From beginning to end tie
attitude of the American people implies
responsibility for safe government IN
Cuba, but the chance has been given for
the Cubans to carry it on for themselves.
They are on trial. II they show them

BRITISH SBIPPTNG PBEST,.p

'AAAA ANt AA61 ANaH
The menace to Great Britain's shipping
prestige from American control of the
Atlantic shipping combination and Ger
man ascendancy in ocean records, has
led the British government to pay an
annual subsidy Of $4,000 to the
CHnard line on n twenty years contract
and also to agree to lend the money on
easy terms for the construction of two
new steamships that are to be record
breakers. This arrangement is said to
be fully sanctioned by public opinion as
a practical and necessary measure for
r%egaining British mercantile prestige. A
London correspondent remark. that the
naval reasons for this action are not
conclusive, for it would be obviously
more economical for the admiralty to
build fast cruisers than for the govern
ment to pay the subsidy subvention for
the sake of beating the German record,
but John Bull is thoroughly in earnest
and determined to restore the prestige
of the British commercial marine even
at high cost.
This payment of a direct subsidy by
the British government is a departure.
1t has heretofore subsidized shipping in
the guise Of mail contracts and other
wise to just the extent that its inter-
ests required. The government has paid
no more than it deemed necessary to eff
feet its purpose in building up and main
tanning it's shipping interests, but to that
extent it has always gone. 1t is proba-
BILE that in future the British govern
ment, in order to maintain it's shipping
primacy and prestige, will find it neces-
sary to go more largely into the pay
ment of direct subsidies, meeting in this
respect the policy Of Germany and
France, particularly the former. The
start that has been made in this dlrec-
ton is not likely to end with the con
tract with the Cunard line. In that
event the ship subsidy policy may be-
come a fixed one with the maritime
countries.

and conclusive that it will command the

obvious that arbitration should be in

period Of terribly wasteful industrial
warfare. The prominence of the anth-
racite controversy renders it almost a

almost vital to a consummation devoutly

THE q ROWING VEST.

The report of the commissioner of the
general land Office of the Department
Of the Interior, for the year ending with
last June, gives some interesting facts
In regard to the growth of the west in
population. It shows that during those
twelve months more applications for
homestead entries and claims for min
eral and timber lands in the west were
received than during any previous year
since the homestead law was passed.
In fact, says a Washington correspond
ent, the west Is experiencing another
boom and there is now and has been
during the past eight or ten months a
great rush of fasteners and southerners
to settle on the public domain west of
the Mississippi. During the past year
the government gave away to these
settlers 19.4S8,530 acres, which is sew
eral million acres more than were dis
posed of in any single year since Uncle
Sam adopted the policy of distributing
his landed holdings some forty years
back.
1t is stated that Of the 100000 and
more acres of territory allotted last year,
the greater portion Of it, 1~4,000,O00, went
to homesteaders. The balance was taken
up in the location of mining and timber
lands. The receipts from the sale of
land which was deemed too valuable to
be turned over to homesteaders were
also greater than during any other year
in the history of the homestead act.
The commissioner of the general land
office is reported as saying that the
number of homestead entries and the
number of mining and timber claims
filed each year is a good barometer by
which to judge of the business condition
Of the country. In times of prosperity
the entries and claims swell to large
proportions but when business is bad
and wages are low the figures drop in
proportion. The growth of the west
during the last three or four years has
been rapid and there is every reason
to expect that it will go on for several
years to come. If existing business con-
ditions' continue. t..,

TIE FUNCTION OF TBE ARBITRAToRS

n FUNCTION OF THE ARBITRATORS.
The arbitrators to whom the anthra-
cite difficulty has been referred are now
about to begin their investigation, and
it is Of immense Importance that they
reach a satisfactory conclusion. 1t is
important for the interests Immediately
involved, which relate to an industry
directly employing 100000 miners and
control the supply of an Indispensable
fuel for the whole country. If nothing
was involved but the fuel supply the
public interest would be vitality affected
at this juncture, when severe weather
may ensue any day. Pending the de-
clsion of the arbitrator the miners have
resumed work, so that there is no longer
danger of acute suffering from fuel
famine or Of the disorders which might
easily grow out Of such a condition. 1t
is for the arbitrators so to solve the
problem as to remove the peril of the
recurrence of such an emergency.
But the real function of the arbitrator
Is VI lnhlANNAS " NHBNN
the settlement Of the anthracite situa'
ton considered by itself, and seriously
involves arbitration as a general method
of settling disputes between vast mum
bers of organized labor on the one hand
aud vast combinations of corporate cap
itaI on the other. These disputes, car
ried to the extreme of gigantic strikes
and lockouts, inevitably affect the in

to the policy under which we have at

market, by far the greatest in the
world, must be held for American pro-
ducers and the way to do this is in con
tinuing the protection to American in
dustries and labor.
