cies; and expressed the determination of
every right-minded American in favor of
the retention of the Philippines and the
extension of the country's sway over the
Pacific ocean. The platform was a Wig
orous and intelligent expression of devo-
tion to stalwart AmeriCanism.
When Nebraska, in the demo-pop fu-
sion of 1894, broke away from the re-
publicans its credit was lowered, and
pessimistic prophecies We're made as to
its future. The outlook in the state grew
darker when Bryan and his aggregation
carried it in 1896 by two-thirds vote.
In the next two or three years the radical
elements held control of the state. Then
came the revolution. In 1900 it was won
back to the republican side, and it has
remained there ever since. The plural
!ty of over 5000 gained by the repub-
licans in the state election of 1902 shows
that the state is firmly anchored in the
republican column. Nebraska deserves
all the praise which she is getting from
the conservative and patriotic voters of
the union for her abandonment of the
democrats and pOpulists, and she merits
all the prosperity which her intelligence
and public spirit are bringing her

London, Sept. 1.-THE temper or
the Bulgarian people and govern
ment, according to kilograms from
Sofia, is rising to danger point. All
indications tend to show that how
ever Loyalty the government desires
to observe a neutral attitude it Will
be forced ere long by pressure from
the people into a formal declaration
of sympathy with the Macedonian
Christians. Premier Petrotf's infor-
NAL intimation to the diplomats in
Sofia that unless some means of re-
straining Turkeys terrible measures
to suppress the uprising in Mace
donia is taken by the powers Bul-
garia will be forced to depart from
strict neutrality, is regarded as
warning in this sense to the powers.
A curious story appears in the
Vienna Neue Frei Press that the
sheikh of Medina is spreading the re-
port that the prophet Mahomet rose
from his tomb and exclaimed ~ sol
emn tones "Allah, save thy Dple,"
whereupon the six guardians of the
tomb expired from terror. The
legend has excited Constantinople
and is regarded as an intrigue to
compel the Ottoman government to
undertake an anti-Christian cam
paign.
All the advices received here
agree in saying that the Turkish gov
crnmcnt has re&torcd quiet AT E"irut
and that the porte appreciates the
necessity for taking action in the
matter, as shown by the removal of
the vail of Beirut, as demanded by
United States Minister Leishman.

AS to the efficiency of Secretary Root
in his four years of service at the head
of the war department there is no dis
senting opinion. The reorganization of
the army and the care of the Philip
pines have demanded statesman. and
a statesman Mr.. Root has proved him
self to be. He has shown with what
skill and success broad minded civilian
can approach military problems. There
will be a general regret, we'll expressed
by President Roosevelt in his letter, at
Mr.. Roots withdrawal 1t is fortunate
that with the announcement of Secretary
Roots resignation comes the cheering in
formation that Gov. William II. Taft, of
the Philippines, will be the next secre-
tary of war. Gov. Taft is better quail
fed than any other man to take up the
questions involved in the army's rela-
tion to the Philippines, and in the other
business of the department this prudent,
patriotic and manly administrator, who
has quickly won an enviable place in
American affection, will be worthy of
his high position.-Troy Times.

A TEST CASE,

American Flag for Advertising Pur-
poses Is Attacked,

poses Is Attacked.
New York, Sept. 10.-In order to
test the constHtutionality of the act
passed by the New York legislature
at its last session, prohibiting The
use of the American flag for adver-
tising purposes on cigar boxes, Gig
arctic and tobacco purchases, j. Il.
McPike, manager of the cigar de-
partment of a Wholesale grocery
store, on Wednesday submitted to
arrest and was brought before Jus
tice Blanchard, of the supreme court,
on writ of habeas corpus sued out
by his counsel. The warrant on
which he was arrested charged him
with having exposed Tor sale and
sold two boxes of cigars containing
advertising matter in which the flag
appeared. Counsel for Mr.. McPike
maintained that the law was uncon-
stitutional as it deprived the citizen
OF his liberty of employment and oc-
cupation in carrying on Ills business
He also contended that the act in
terfered with the federal law as to
trademarks, and was destructive of
property: and further that it was
unconstitutional as it interfered with
the commerce of other states. ANY
question involving the use of the
American flag, was not a subject for
the action of the legislature of New
York or any other state, but solely
within the purview of congress, as it
was matter of federal sovereignty
and not state sovereignty.
The penalty prescribed by the law
is a fine of 500 or imDriSOnment for
30 days, or both fine and imprison-
