A WORD PROM v1NpEx.

Editor Advertiser:-As a postscript to
my letter of yesterday, permit me to
recall to your mind the fact that, when
the news came out that Mr.. Dreier
might be ineligible. the first man to
run to the Home Rule and Democratic
nominee with an offer of legal protec-
ton was George A. Davis. Davis
would look up the law free, gratis and
for nothing and fix things so that Mr..
Dreier could safely run. Seeing how
close Davis is to the Gears and to the
Republican machine, and how wild he
and they are for the principles enun-
ciated in the Dreier platform, am 1 not
right in venturing the suggestion that
Mr.. Harris most needs to be saved
from his friends?

AGRAvE STU TIoN IN FRANCE.

The new French ministry is con-
fronted with a situation that threatens
to have grave consequences. 1t grows
out Of the enforcement of the law re-
Gently passed in France which requires
the authorization Of clerical schools by
the government, there being many such
schools throughout the country that
have not complied with this require
ment. 1t appears that there are differ
ing interpretations Of certain sections
Of the law which were supposed to
exempt from being closed the schools
in which nuns are teachers. The prede-
cessor of the present premier exempted
such schools, but the head Of the new
ministry constructs the law differently
and insists that the schools be closed.
The result is that an agitation has
been started In behalf Of the nuns en-
gagged in the schools to be closed that
menaces the peace and order Of a num-
Der of localities and may spread
throughout the country. Rioting has
taken place and the people at some
points are manifesting a most deter
mined purpose to resist with force the
order Of the government for closing the
unauthorized schools. In the provincial
districts especially there appears to be
a general feeling of sympathy with the
nuns and a deep resentment toward the
government. Undoubtedly the law will
be fully and generally enforced, for
Premier Combes has firmly declared his
policy and he has a strong majority of
Parliament, elected when this issue was
prominent, to support him, but it is
possible that there will be very serious
trouble before the enforcement Of the
law is completed.

ooMMERCIALIzED EVANGELISM.
Pointed Protests Against o. o. u
Methods in ChuFch Converts.

"aoAlllB NOl 4OoNs
The Chicago Tribune Is authority for the
statement that in the northern part OF
Illinois there is an evangelist going about
from church to church on these terms
Forty dollars a week and fifty CONVEX

That is quite the reverse of creditable
to the northern part Of Illinois. Although
possibly less shameful than the savagery
which has recently disgraced the south
ern section of that state, commonly called
Egypt, 1t evidences the existence OF con-
ditions that are quite incompatible with
q high degree of Christian civilization.
One could easily understand that a man
with an ILL balanced mind, a poor creature
who ought to be in a sanitarium, might
conceive Of that plan for getting cash and
notoriety. There are weaklings, cranks
and frauds in all professions, the min
istry being no more exempt than law,
medicine. literature or art. Therefore Il
would not be in the least surprising II in

invitation 70 an international meeting.
At any rate the United States would
not be likely to send delegates to such
a conference, since they could not be
given authority to bind our government
to any treaty arrangements.
This move of Russia is not, however,
viewed with indifference at Washington.
There is said to be a strong feeling that
the Russian government would like to
head a movement in Europe to repel,
or at any rate stay. the American COM
mercial invasion and that her desire is
partly animated by grievance against
us for making the first charge against
her sugar industry as bounty-fed,
thereby making 1t possible for most Of
the sugar-producing countries Of Europe
to damage her seriously at Brussels. 1t
will be remembered that when u gov
eminent applied the countervailing duty
to Russian sugar that government re-
taliated by raising duties on our agri-
cultural implements, machinery and
other manufactures, but this failed Of
the desired effect and 1t is not at all
improbable that Russia would now like
to bring about a general European ar
rangement hostile to American CONNER
cial interests. If such is her design 1t is
not at all probable that she will be able
to carry 1t out. The idea Of a concerted
movement by European countries
against this country has been pretty
well considered and with few excep-
tons the statesmen and economists OF
Europe have pronounced 1t impractical.
BILE. Those countries may individually,

Boston Transcript: Tho ministers who
went with the %oficers Of the law to arrest
the players In a Sunday game Of base ball
in Nebraska City were greatly lacking In
diplomacy. Their efforts should have been
limited to arouslng the moral conscious
ness Of the people to a point where any I'M
worthy use Of Sunday would not be toler-
ated. II they failed In this method they
could not hope to gain anything in the
struggle for more spiritual ideals among

WHOSE men ARE q &

Two years ago the republican congress
sional convention of the Second Ne
braska district authorized its nominee,
David H. Mercer, to name the members
of the committee charged with the con-
duct Of the campaign in this congress
sional district. In compliance with the
authority granted him by the conven-
ton Mr.. Mercer made the following Sc
lection: Thomas w. Blackburn, chair
man, Omaha; George Sabine, Omaha;
John L. Carson, South Omaha; Lou f.
Etter, South Omaha; d. H. Kirschner,
Bennington; w. Cook, Blair; Fred Clar-
idge, Blair; J. r. Wilson, Papillion;
Clarence E. Keys, Bellevue.
Having conducted the congressional
campaign to a successful issue, this COM
mittee has no other function than to
make provision for the nomination of
Mr.. MERGERS successor by an apportion-
ment of representation to the three re-
spective counties that comprise the dis
trict, and fixing the time when the nom
nation of the candidate for the Fifty
eighth congress shall be made.
To all intents and purposes, however,
Thomas w. Blackburn has ~arrogated to
himself the powers of the whole com
mittee and eventually proposes to be
the whole thing. The question that the
republican, of this district have a right
to ask is, Whom does this committee
representi Is 1t Mr.. MERGERS commit
tee, or is it a committee to represent
the republican party Of the district:
Was this committee chosen to dominate
and domineer the party in It's, choice
Of Mr.. MERGERS successor, or was II
not selected solely to manage the cam
paign for the republicans of this dis
trict and to provide for the nomination
Of MERGERS successor by a fair and i'm
partial choice Of the majority Of repub-
lican voters2
In every congressional district of this
state nominating conventions were
called weeks ago and nominations have
been made. 1t certainly cannot be re,
garded impertinent for The Bee to ask
when the committee proposes to move
and what it proposes to do in this dis.
trict. Mr.. Mercer has had the audacity
to announce that the committee will
act when he gets good and ready. Does
he own the committee? Is he to be
regarded as a life member from this
district with the right to name his own
successor, or does he claim to represent
the people of this district by inner.

Do the members of this committee
want to advertise themselves as jump,
ing-jacks and puppets? Has not Mr.
Mercer gone altogether too far in assum.
ing to carry the whole committee in

AT THE GATES OF NIGHT.

W. d. Nesbit in Baltimore American.
There are two gates that guard the Night;
The one where shadows creep,
And lullabies come grooming low,
Full-throated, soft and deep;
Where twilight reaches forth her arms
To all by Day oppresaed,
And lulls them into happiness,
Serene upon her breast.
And from that gate, all dark aud cool
The night road stretches far,
BY palaces OF sweet content,
Where many dreamings are;
Where blind may see and dumb may speak,
And sad ones laugh and sing,
Where hungered ones may drink and eat,
The pauper be a king.
All through the Night the good road goes,
DER valley, plain and steep;
Along its sides, In grandeur, rise
The citadels of sleep.
And many things there be that sooths
And comfort us, and bless
But best OF all, the blossom fair
OF rich forgetfulnsss.
The other gate that guards the Night
The one that ends the way
Has trumpeters that loudly call
Us forth into the day.
And, though we fear the foes OF Day
With bitterness and dread,
We know that through the weary hours
The frst gate 10 ahead.

INDIANS ASSERTING THEIR RIGHTS.

INDIANS ASSERTING THEIR RIGHTS.
Down in Mississippi and South Caro-
lima it is a common adage that "a Niger
has no rights that a white man is bound
to respect" The same idea has pre-
vailed to a greater or less extent in the
region on both sides Of the Rockies
with regard to the Indian. In the on
ward march Of civilization the Indian
has counted for little more than the
buffalo, the elk or the grizzly. The In
dian has survived only in spots and the
spots where he still subsists have been
made happy hunting grounds for the
rapacious trader and greedy Spectator.
The only considerable remnant of the
| aborigine in Nebraska is to be found
on the Omaha and W~innebago reser-
vations. That neighborhood has for
years been infested by an INSCRIPTIONS
gang of land sharks, who have operated
in profitable Indian land leases and
speculative land sales with the conniv-
ance of a very accommodating Indian
agent with an India rubber conscience.
But even an Indian may feel as sore
as an ostrich when he Is plucked, and
when he does feel real sore he gives
an awful roar
That is doubtless the condition of the
Omaha tribe, which, at a general coun-
Gil held last Thursday, served notice
upon the land sharks that it would
assert its rights and appeal to the gov
eminent for protection and redress. The
resolutions adopted by the Omahas not
only denounce the spectators, but
openly present charges against the
agent, who is in league with them and
has co-untenanced highly respectable
citizens in the work of alluring ignor-
ant and helpless Indians to dispose of
their lands at inadequate prices.
The systematic p~lucking of the Indians
is not confined to the 0mahas. The
Winnebagoes have been the victims of
the land spectators to a much greater
extent. The Omahas are reputed to be
industrious, orderly and, in the main,
sober people. and as nearly civilized as
Indians living on a reservation can be,
but the Winnebagoes are reputed to be
d~issipated, thriftless and generally de-
moralized, having inherited all the vices
Of their own race and absorbed the vices
Of the white man.
This lamentable condition, brought
about through the lack Of efficient moral
supervision, has made them an easy
prey for the cOyetous gang OF land
-
terest in standing together to prevent
q change in the management and su
pervision Of the reservation. 1t is to
be hoped that the example set by the
council Of the omahas will rouse the
Winnebagoes to a consciousness of their
rights and a determination to resist the
wrongs being perpetrated upon them
Those who would be free. themselves
must strike the blow.

FAMOUS POLISH CARDINAL.
Prominent Part Played by LcdOchow-
ski In the Contest with Bismnrck.

PromIncnt Part Played ny Lcdochow-
ski In the contest with Bismarck.
New York Sun.
For q time Cardinal Ledochowski, who
has just died In Rome, was a prominent
and picturesque figure in European poli-
tics. A Pole, appointed to the archbishop
rio OF Posen- Gnesen at Prussia's request In
order to conciliate the Polish population,
he became the chief opponent Of Bismarck
in the long struggle between the state and
the Catholic church that Is known even
out Of Germany as the K~ulturkampf. Ledo-
chowslis uncompromising opposition
brought on lin a sentence Of two years in
Jail, which he served. He was made a
cardinal by Plus TX. while In prison. The
fight he made Is part OF German history.
After his release he went to Rome and
filled many high positions. At his death he
was the senior cardinal priest and project
Of the congregation for the propagation Of
the faith. He was a leader Of the ultra
conservative party among the cardinals,
and opposed to all concessions TO the mod
ern spirit. A noble by birth, placed early
In high once In the church, engaged in a
fight for the church's existence, his ideas
were naturally like those of the great pre-
lates Of bygone days, who were temporal
lords as we'll.
Leo XIII. has now survived all the car
dinals appointed by Plus TX save two,
Cardinals oreglia di santo stefano and
Parocchi are the only men left who en-
tered with him the eonclave Of 1878.

1t must be admitted without dissent
that the Beers have behaved admirably
since the peace terms were agreed upon
with the British. Granting that they
got more than they expected In the
way of concessions, their discipline
could not be better illustrated than by
their speedy execution Of their part OF
the compact without serious lapses ever
by groups or individuals, much less
by any large organized band Of their
people. The Beers seem determined to
make the best OF peace as soon as they
possibly can instead Of sulking and
playing ugly as the temptation often
leads. BY this course they will GER
tainly add to the credit marks earned
by them during the war.

PROPOSED ANTITRUST CONFERENCE.
There has been received at the State
department the Russian circular in
which an international conference re-
garding rus is proposed, but 1t APP
pears to relate chiefly to the sugar
bounty question as affecting the policy
of the Russian government in dealing
with the sugar industry of that country.
The claim Of that government is that it's
system is not equivalent to an export
bounty, as 1t has been held to be by
our government and by the Brussels
sugar conference, and the effort of Rus
sia now seems 10 be directed 70 finding
some way to counterfeit the decision
adverse TO Its policy In this particular.
The circular received at Washington
was handed TO the diplomatic repre-
I sentative Of the United States al ST.
Petersburg, but 1t is not regarded as an
invitation to this country to participate
In az international conference, should
one be called, but intended simply for
information. Il is understood that only
the countries which participated In the
Brussels conference have had the Rus
stan circular addressed to them as an
