point to the blood-stain upon the Czar's

FORBEARANCE.

Kitchener, who praises them for having
"kept up the traditions of the British
army" AS the doughty general and
his band surrendered in body and as
that seems to be strictly in line with the
traditions of the South African army,
there is a general approval of Lord
Kitchener's verdict. There is also dis
position upon the part of Americans to
believe that so long as handful of rag
ged peasants defy the British South
African commanders, English politicians
and journalists are in no position to
sneer at the accomplishments of Uncle
Sans boys in the Philippines, neither
is their advice upon colonial affairs re-
ceived with any marked expressions of
appreciation. In other words, if Eng
land will have the politeness to overlook
our brawl in the Philippines, we will
with equal courtesy refrain from pass
ing disagreeable comments upon the
duel between the Lion and the Boer.

tion against loss to lumber dealers for
materials, and mechanics for labor,
employed in the construction of
building, were passed solely in the
interest of the artisans and merchants
who extend the credit; but second
and closer inspection of the matter
will show that it is the debtor, not
the creditor, who is the beneficiary.
Thousands of dwellings and business
blocks have been erected in Nebraska,
the individual credit of whose owners
would not have purchased the ma
terials and labor necessary for their
construction. the law providing for
the filing of a mechanics lien alone
enabling them to secure a welcome
from the artisans and tradespeople, and
erect homes which would have other
wise been denied them, in many
cases, and in others the price would
be raised to cover the risk. 1t is the
debtor who receives the principal
benefit from legislation of this sort
that cannot be contradicted. So with
the legislation ostensibly in favor of
the security holder. The more safe
guards that can be thrown around the
real estate loan transactions, the
easier it will be for the mortgagor to
secure money at reasonable terms.
Eliminating the element of risk from
the business pounds down interest
rates, makes it easier to obtain large
loans. and secures to the debtor re.
newal at any time he desires. In
word, the easier it is to collect loans,
the easier it will be to borrow It is
well known fact that it is impossi-
BILE to convict farmer of selling
mortgaged personal property, if the
case is tried before jury of farmers.
There is always at least one on the
jury who looks upon the banks as fair
game for any hunter, and refuses to
declare the accused person guilty, no
matter how conclusive the evidence
may be. The juryman does not pause
to consider that before parting with
his good money the banker must con-
slider all the chances, figure all the
risks and fix upon a rate of interest
which will in the long run make him
aprofit upon all of the money loaned.
To do this he must allow for certain
amount of loss through skullduggery,
with no protection in the courts of
justice. and what the faithless cred
itor steals, the man who pays his
notes must make good. Such condi-
tions fatten the rascal, at the expense
of the honest man, yet leaves the
bank no worse off than it would be if
all borrowers paid their debts cheer.

upon it the name Of "Juan CALI

blade indicates that it was manufac-
tured in Toledo, Spain, in the six

the locality in which it was found-Gray
county-is quite distance off the route
formerly supposed to have been followed

for additional evidence before assuming
that new Coronado route has been es-

position that the blade belonged to

by it's original owner, where it was
found by Mr.. Richey. The blade may
have been moved dozen times since
1884, and the fact that it was found in
the stump of a tree, rather indicates that
it was not placed there by it's rightful
owner, as he would certainly have little
cause to hide his own sword in that
especially as Spanish cava-
lier's blade is relinquished only with his
life, and there is no reason to believe
that Captain Galligo died in the vicinity
of the spot where the cache was uncov-

prove the find Of value, and Mr.. Richey
has certainly earned the gratitude of all
who feel interested in establishing the
