cuse him Of being an atheist, and
roundly score the President for hav-

Ware caused one of his characters to

Admitting that this is at least rank
heresy, it may be contended that so
long as Dickens was not punished for
the murder of "Bill Sykes" much
abused Nancy" Scott was not
taken to task for the crimes COM
mitted by his reckless "Risingham,"
Cooper has never been placed in the
dock for the destruction Of the
lamented Mohicans, and Dumas
escaped the wheel and guillotine
though the dark deeds of the crea-
lures OF his fertile imagination fill

labors under the delusion that Nebraska
has not a sufficient supply of eligible
femininity ,and is preparing to introduce
a job lot of shelf.worn eastern females
with matrimonial aspirations.
This insinuation against the loveliness,
lovingness and lovability of the rosy
checked daughters of the prairie is re-
ceived with contempt, for the Nebraska
girl does not fear competition, nor ask
for protective tariff or subsidy to en-
able her to control the home market.
Nebraska has girls to-marry, and
they marry whenever the spirit moves
them. Those who remain single do so
because they prefer single blessedness
to double querimoniousness never be-
cause the gallants prefer the foreign
article.
The we'll established economic rule
which forbids the importation of an
article which can be produced at home,

of the western states, bills to abate
the noxious weed nuisance are intro
duced and usually one is passed.
Farmers always take great interest in
the movement to suppress the sun
flower, and many dollars have been
taken from slender road funds and
paid over to the destroyer of these
rank and lawless weeds.
Of course the modern habit of
regulating everything by law, in
stead Of by the employment of a little
ingenuity, is hard to break off, but
if farmers will for this season forget
that there is such a clause as "be it
enacted" and simply SOW alfalfa, or
some equally hardy and profitable
product along the roadways, the sun
flower nuisance will abate itself,
roadways will look neat and cheerful
and few more dollars will rattle
into the farmers till. This remedy,
because of it's simplicity, escapes the
vision of the modern law -worshipper,
who persists in bringing scientific
knowledge and legal lore to bear
upon the evils which little common
sense easily overcomes.

very small matter for a mayor to
close the dives of city on the Sab
bath, but to the person who pauses to
consider that in New York the sys-
tenn Of bribery and blackmail must be
overthrown, that police commission
ers, district overseers, captains and
thousands of patrolmen must stand
shoulder to shoulder in the fight to
throw off the yoke Of servitude and
stand forth as guardians of the law,
rather than abettors of crime, the
entire success of the attempt to give
New York a "dry'' Sunday seems
little less than marvellous. If the
fusion administration accomplishes
nothing more, this practical illustra-
tion of the fact that New York can
be we'll governed, is a long stride
toward real and lasting reform, and
presages the ultimate triumph Of the
fusion administration over the heel
ers and grafters who have for years
absorbed the greater part of the
municipal taxes, and demanded trl-

When military
ROOSEVELT AND officer is given
MILES. command, he is
told to adopt his
own methods of enforcing his orders,
SO long as they do not conflict with
general orders. His superiors do not
care how he governs the men, or who
is to blame if he fails to govern
them at all. His sole directions are
"Take these men and make soldiers
of Them" If he fails to do this he
will be relieved Of command. no
matter if he is able to prove that the
men were stubborn, obstinate, un-
tractable and of low intellect.
General Miles stands in the same
relation to the entire army as does
the subordinate to the company,
battalion, regiment or brigade. He
is supposed to promote harmony
among his interiors and maintain cor
dial relations with his superiors. If
for any reason he is unable to do this
he is Of no use to the army and his
presence at its head is not con nducive
to the good of the service, neither
does it add lustre to his own official
record.
Mr.. Roosevelt is commander in
chief Of the American army; Mr..
Miles his lieutenant. The former
can no more discharge his duties to
the army without the respectful CO.
operation Of the latter, than Miles
could command regiment, the COM
pany officers of which were contin-
ually encouraging insubordination and
rewarding disloyalty to the COM
mander.
