The following paragraph taken from
last weeks Emerson Journal will read
somewhat strangely to publishers on this
side of the line. Over here the omission
Of single issue Of the most obscure
country sheet would be thought by both
the readers and the editor as absolutely
inexcusable. Aud yet why not? Almost
every other professional class takes a
"lay of"-but the newspaper has to be
as regular as the sun.

There is some professor who, as re-
ported by the papers, has discovered a
method of changing gold to silver and
expects to be able to reverse the process
by further experiment. There is an emf
nent statesman living in Nebraska who
thought that he had discovered some
thing Similar about ten years ago and
succeeded in making about half the peo-
pie Of this country believe in it. At the
present time, however, the statesman is
about the only one who still has faith in
the philosophers stone, but, strange to
say, that theory of the transmutation ot
metals, which nobody but Bryan believes
in, still remains the stumbling block O
the great democratic party.

THE NEW POPE.

To the mont Catholic people of this
country the election Of new pope
means great deal. In no other of the
Christian churches does the rule and
power of the clergy mean so much. In
numbers the Catholic chnrch is greater
than any other single denomination. II
is probable that majority Of our foreign
born population are Catholics. In many
European countries from which. these
foreigners came, church and state are
one and in some Of these countries the
church is the one. The Catholic church
is the best organized religious, body of
the world and its organization is centered
in the Pope.
Inthis America of ours we have en-
deavored to the best of our ability, and
very wisely, to keep church and state
separate. As a whole this country IS a
Christian nation, but our fathers saw in
the beginning that Christianity is not q
unit, but composed Of units which are
impossible Of union. Ii order that each.
unit, whether sect or individual person
might have equal rights, that the state
could only recognize one right for them
all, and that the right to worship accord.

AGAINST THE BONDS.

A late decision Of the supreme court
places the various institutions of the state
in rather bad fix. The last Legislature
authorized the various institutions to is.
sue bonds on the strength of their land
grants, thus permitting them TO erect
needed buildings and make other i'm.
|provements in advance of the time when
the lands could be sold and the funds
made available. These bonds were to
be taken up by the Board ofState School
Lands as an investment for that fund.
State Treasurer Mcmillan refused to pay
the money on the ground that these
bonds were really state bonds and that
as the state was bonded to the limit, it
was not legal TO issue more bonds. The
supreme court has decided that his as
sumption was correct. Several of the
institution boards, however, have gone
ahead and incurred considerable indebt-
edness on the strength of selling the
bonds and others have let contracts.
There have been similar bonds issued
and cashed by the state treasurer in past
years and under this decision the boards
are wondering where they are at. While
this decision is doubtless technically cor
rect, on the other hand it would seem
that with a lot Of money in the general
school fund needing investment and a lot
Of institutions needing money with large
land grants giving undoubted security
behind them, and the people Of the state
behind that again, that there ought to be
some way to fix it.
AS matter Of fact, il don't increase
the indebtedness Of the state one nickel
for the universities;to to borrow from the
school fund. The money IS borrowed
from the state and owed By the state. It
would seem that the. same reasoning that
makes the state institution bonds 4 part
Of the state Indebtedness would also
make the state responsible for the pay-
ment Of the bonds and Il 50. that IS a
stand off by ordinary methods Of book
keeping. Its only final result would BE-
that the state institutions would have
some less money from the proceeds of1
their school lands while the general
school fund would be that much, better

would : be amply recouped 81 suppl lying

PENCHANT OF DlAZ FOR PROGRESS

The St. Louis GIobe-Democrat com ments as follows on Diaz's penchant for progress:
 To a large extent President Diaz must be credited with the increase in business relations between his coun- try and ours. He was an early and powerful friend of the railroads The railway system in Mexico was in 2 very crude condition when General Diaz. in 1876. first went to the head of the republic. He offered great in dudements to American capitalists to build railroads in Mexico. He welcom- ed the roads from the United States which formed connections with those of his country. Every American rail way builder who has had dealings with the head of the Mexican govern ment in the past twenty years speaks strongly in his praise. His intelli- gent patronage of railroads is respon- sible for a great deal of the increase in the population and wealth. of Me1i- co in the past quarter of a century. The trade of Mexico with the United States is now greater than it is with all the rest Of the countries of the world combined. and the lead thus shown is broadening constantly. More American capital is invested in MeXi, co than all the rest Of the peoples. The relations of the two countries are in an especially pleasing condition, and of course, the ties will be extended and strengthened when the gold stand
 ard. which American fnanciers are said to be arranging, is established in
 Mexico. The future which is in sight for the UIG0ed States neighbors or
 the other side of the Rio Grande is particularly bright.
