THE VERSATILE COWBOY.
Able to Adapt Themselves to Almost
 Any Position in Life.


 Andy Williams in the Omaha World.
 The cowboy was versatile and could sing in the choir or clerk in bank. When he saw his occupation going from him he naturally turned to the first calling for which he was fitted. The state of Ne braska maintains the appointive office of inspector of county treasuries something similar to national bank examiner. IT. regularties and defalcations in state and county funds necessitated the office as matter of protection for the public good When the office was created Ed Searle of Ogalalla an ex-cowboy and thoroughly qualified, was appointed by the governor to the position, and during his incum- bency of that office there was not the defalcation of single penny. Honesty became an enforced virtue under Searles inspection. The question of what became of the cowboy suggests itself, That the old west is a thing of the past no one disputes A combination of unseen ob- stacles, such as successive severe winters, entailing serious losses in cattle, coupled with wire fenes and railroads, killed the trail in single year. Where in 'S4 over 700, 900 cattle crossed the northern boun- dary. of Texas at three fords on the Red river, six years later not single herd passed over the trail. Then the COW towns of the west became way stations and the range man disappeared. But when the cowboy unslddled for the last time it was not his intention to turn from the range which he knew and loved. There were numerous occupations inviting him and whether he opened @ saloon or start ed a bank, he possessed an advantage in knowing the country anu its people While many of them can be found follow ing the occupation of the small ranch mal of the present day. the greater ma joiey turned to other pursuits But they are scattered wide and can be found among the staid citizens of nearly any rniirita

Was Candidate for Governor.

MT. Davis at this time is the unanimous choice of West Virginia democrats as their candidate for governor and his elec- ton was practically assured. His nomina- ton to make his partyss race with Judge Parker will of course, eliminate him from this contest.
 MT. Davis is a man of great strength and visor in spite of his 80 years He Is a sterling democrat of the highest charae- ter, and will complete a ticket which will appeal to the business interests of the en- tire country.
 A strange coincidence in connection with MT. Davis nomination is the fact that he is the father-in-law of Stephen B. Elkins, republican United States senator from West Virginia, and one of the foremost men of his party.
 MT Davis was member of the West Virginia delegation to the St, Louis con- vention. He was a strong supporter of Senator German for the presidency, but upon the failure of Maryland to offer Sen ator Gorman's name, he at once gave his support to Judge Parker

lulu might, in the economy calculations
now in progress, be made less expen-

have expressed the opinion that the SER

else cut out, in the latter event leaving
the public at large to make their peace,
and keep it, with the Board of Health as
best they may at their own expense.

lVANH0E'S MATE A
CANDID WITNESS

Much of the time in the trial of the
sailors libel against the British bark
Ivanhoe, before Judge Dole in the Fed
eral court yesterday, was occupied by
the reading of dispositions taken before
U. S. Commissioner Judd previous to
the trial.
Hayward, the first mate, who is charg-
ed with most of the cruelty alleged, was
on the stand in the morning. His evil
dence constituted an admission OF prac-
tically all the acts testified against him
by young sailor the previous day. He
talked freely of using ropes ends on the
sailors, showing under questions that he
did not consider such conduct assault .
The use OF Delaying pin on the head
of the sailor was not only admitted but
attempted to be justified by Hayward.
As to the striking of the suicide while
lying down, the mate claimed it was on
~ to restore consciousness. He said the
doctor did the same thing harder while
treating the man in his bunk.

of the Mckinley Memorial from park
to a monument:

ed Twenty-seven votes are cast in IA
vor of a monument of some kind. Thir-
ty-one votes are in favor of a park.
Several persons stated that their first
wish was for a park, but that owing
to delay and the probable difficulty of
caring for a park in the future thew
would vote for a monument.
Since the majority vote has been cast
in favor of a park, your committee
would respectfully recommend that the
following resolution be adopted by the
Buckeye Club and sent to Judge San
ford 3. Dole, the chairman of the Nc
kinIey Memorial Committee
Whereas, the Buckeye Club of Homo
lulu has a large personal, as we'll as
financial, interest in all the plans con-
corning the memory of the Honored
William Mckinley, late President of
the United States, such interest arIs-
ing from the fact that he was one o.
the most famous sons of our state OF
Ohio. and
Whereas long delay has followed
the accumulation of funds for the per-
lection of a Mckinley Park as first
proposed;
Therefore. be it resolved. that the
Buckeye Club urge the Mckinley
Memorial Committee to push as speed
lily as possible the preparation of the
Mckinley Park for its benefit of the
public and also provide for its future
maintenance. If this is found to be nom
feasible the Buckeye Club would most
respectfully request the sale of the land
already purchased and the erection of
suitable monument on some nromi-
nent spot near the center of the city

Che Faith cf tbe Stars.

The pulsing waves and the chasing wind
And the stars sereneg bright,
Are the night tosse sailors pilot-friends,
As he steers for the harb0r light.
The wet waves run In ths yeasty wake,
On rudder and strake they press;
Bearing the ship in their buoyant arms,
With whisper and soft caress.
The young strong wind sings owing song
As he fOndles the swelling SAIL
Kisses It's bosom and murmurs low,
I'm friend who viii never fall"
The stars are silent and far away,
Changeless and true In flight;
They protest no vows to the dancing ship
AS she steers for the harbor light.
But. when treacherous kisses of whispering
wind,
And the cunning care of the wave
Are changed to gale and lashing sea,
And the ship sees naught to save,
The distant stars, immutable still,
Clean true in the sailors sight;
So with face upturned to their friendly eyes
He comes safe to thelharbor light.

democratic spirit is irresistible. It il

democratic spirit is irresistible. It is
now striking at the thrones of Ger
many and Italy and one day, perhaps
in our day, both Of these empires will
fall while republican France will sur
vive. England's royalty is nothing more
or less than an ancient and sentimental
appendage to a very liberal form
Of government. Spain, Norway and
Sweden are likely to become republics
at any time, all inspired by the exam
pie of the United States. Democracy
is the only form of government which
will eventually insure the peace of the
world. Being government of, for and
by the people it is bound to bring the
best results.
The royalty of Europe is gradually
degenerating into race of lunatics.
1t is only a question of time when the
nations of the old world must look to
the commoners for their rulers and
when all nations will bow, not to
king, but to the light of democracy
which makes every man monarch
and will some day Americanize the
whole world. Notwithstanding the
calamity howler's harangue we can say
that "The heart Of this country is
sound and its people will continue to
demonstrate to the world at large, that
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness are the birthrights of every child
of man." G.S

A Difference OF Opin-
ion.

lam sure G. s. will pardon me for
differing from him in reference to
one of his "Refections" in last
weeks MIRROR. / think if he will
read history he will find that he has put
the boot on the wrong foot. America
followed England's lead in freeing her
slaves. England freed hers in 1888, at
cost of e40,000,O00.
AS to slavery now-how about the
peonage existing today in some of the
Southern states? How about child
slavery in some of the Eastern states,
where in spite of the law children of
lime and ten years of age are COM
PEELED to work all night2 Is that any
better than the contemplated act of
England?
In an article on the Philippines, pub
lished about fourteen months ago,
Professor Jinks, of Cornell University,
advocates the very thing G.. SO con-
demns in England. He says: "Condi-
tions in the Philippines seem to de-
mand outside assistance such as the
Chinese can best give, and the admis-
sion of the Chinese to the islands can
not be opposed on the same grounds as
in the United States" Therefore he
would have law enacted permitting
employers to bring Chinese labor to
the Philippines under contract for
short periods, say from three to five
years. This article appeared in one Of
the leading magazines, and the COM
ments of prominent government Off
ciais lead one to believe that the idea
meets with their approval.
Itseems to me that when Uncle Sam
succeeds in bringing the Philippines
into obedience-a task which he ap-
pears to find difficult-he will again
have followed England's lead and will
have adopted the suggestion of Prof.
Jinks as the only solution of the labor
problem in the islands, as it is in Afri-
| ca.
There is proverb about cleaning
our own door step before we call our
neighbor's attention to the mud on his.
and think when Uncle Sam succeeds
in abolishing lynching, peonage and
child labor he may with some justice
and propriety censure England. I'm
til he does so the other nations will
hardly endorse the statement that the
United States is the most progressive
nation. Sd.
