WIND of THE WEST.
Chicago Chronicle.

Chicago Chronicle.
Wandering wind Of the west,
Come in al my window and be my guest.
You must be weary, come in and rest;.
While fieeting the earth and sky between
Ger many a chanEeful western scene.
"As down the mountain side I came
When all the eastern sky ahame
with dawning fires was, saw
The night her gloomy curtains draw
To hide her stars before the sun
His glowing circuit had begun;
/ played awhile in an eagles nest
And plucked feather from her breast.
And took II with me down below
Where l dropped 1t in the rivers noW.
1T darted through q waterfall t..-
And dashed the spray against the wall.
/ tore a rainbow into shreds.
And from a spiders silken threads
| made a hammock which / swung
The fragile mountain flowers among.
Across the plains where lonely stand
The brown sod houses in the sand
| idly scared and through their doors
| came and played upon the floors;
The plain white crosses made of wood
And famed a head OF whitened bones
That neither grave nor grave plot owns.
1T played with ghosts Of long ago,
Or redskins and OF buffalo,
| heard the warriors vengeful songs.
/ heard the tramp Of shaggy thrOngs
Across the level dusk-bathed plain,
Then all grew calm and still again,
And now I nestle in your breast.
The day is done; l seek my rest"

Hamilton county republicans in their
county convention have put themselves
on record in favor Of legislation to
abolish the free pass. They fail, how
ever, to speak out plainly on the ques-
ton of congress vesting rate regulating
authority in the Interstate Commerce
commission. The legislature, which may
be called upon to deal with the free pass
question, does not meet until 1907, but
congress conVenes not later than Deem
Der next. While the distant target need
not be neglected, the near mark should
not be overlooked.

VOTING MAcH1EE IrsrRror1oN.

If the voting machines, which have
been ordered for use at the coming cleo
ton in Omaha and South Omaha, are
TO be inaugurated without hitch or con-
fusion, something will have to be done
TO enable the voters to receive tnstruc-
ton in the operation of the machine in
advance OF election day. The change
from the printed ballot to the mechan-
teal voting device is very radical one,
and while the public press may be de-
pended upon to do its full share in ex-
planning the meehsnism and methods of
handling, the most effective way of dem
onstrating them is through a practical
object lesson by the use Of the machine
itself.
Every voter who is to record his
choice of candidates at the coming cleo
ton ought 10 have a chance to try the
machine at least once before he goes
into the booth 10 exercise his right of
suffrage. The way to do this most
safely and economically is to have the
machines set up in the various registra-
ton places, which are also the voting
places In each precinct, ready for ex-
perimental use on registration days.
The registrars of election could readily
be called In TO a meeting at the city
hall and taught the manipulation OF the
machines, so that they in turn could
give the necessary directions to the

Never In his life has the imaginative
newspaper correspondent had such another
job on his hands as this one at Ports

process OF taking" is out OF the question
because Of the repeated declarations of the
ENJOYS that they have not been and would
not be interviewed. The old and respect
able resource Of interviewing some anony-
nous person has been worked out and
even the most daring fictionist Of the tribe
at the Hotel Wentworth is now reduced 10
admitted guessing. How the brethren will
rejoice when they get back 10 Washing

Kansas has just instituted suit against
the bondsmen of its state treasurer to
recover sums aggregating SS5O,OOO, to
make good losses incurred through the
failure Of banks carrying state deposits,
Nebraska's experience in trying to col

is hardly such as to offer much encour-
agement to Kansas, one suit being still
pending in the supreme court, involv-
ing state money that was stolen nine
years ago. If Kansas has no better
luck than Nebraska the lawyers have
before them a long siege Of litigation
and the taxpayers a long bill Of legal re-
tainers.

asked permission to organize an army Of
japanese jailbirds for service In Sakhalin.
Such overtures as these met with govern
mental discouragement but the seizure Of
Sakhalin by trained troops was undertaken
as soon as practicable. Nor did japan fail
TO perceive that Sakhalin In the grip OF

The local demo-pop newspaper mouth
piece is very careful to sidestep on
everything that relates to the record
made by the fusion state officers when
they had unobstructed management of
the state government. The deficiencies
Of present legislation and administration
are denounced in unmeasured terms, but
the fact that marked progress has been
made in the direction of improvement
from the depths into which fusionists
brought state affairs is carefully ig-
nored. This is particularly true with
reference to the assessment and taxa
ton Of railroad property under the new
revenue law as compared with the old
revenue law. We may not yet have
reached the perfection of equal taxation
in Nebraska, but who would want to go
back to the assessments made by the
last fusion state officials?

DUAL TARIFF SCHEME.
Cool Reception for the Plan of the
Reciprocity Convention.
Baltimore News


The recent reciprocity convention at
Chicago was unanimous and enthusiastic,
and settled on an excellent and practical
cry in it's adoption OF the "dual-tariff"
program. Nevertheless, there has for the
present been only a lukewarm response to
its action on the part of those interested
in a real improvement of the American
tariff The reason is not far to seek. The
proposal of the convention is that here
after our tariff policy shall be built on
the ma ximum-and- minimum principle-that,
without the necessity either Of special
legislation or the negotiation Of a treaty
20 be approved by the senate, concessions
from our minimum tariff be made by ex-
ecutive authority I'm favor OF any country
which gives us correspondjngly favorable
treatment. That this is In its nature a
great improvement upon the existing state
of things is obvious; for the popularity Of
the present arrangement for reciprocity

IsrHMrs CANAL ENEMIES.


II is intimated that some of the men
in congress who opposed the Panama
canal will make q fight against that en-
terprise in the Fifty-ninth congress. 1t
is stated that there seems to be a con-
certed effort to discredit the canal com
mission for the lack of progress that has
been made in proportion to expenditure
and that new controversies over the
canal may be raised which are liable to
be embarrassing. In reference to this
the New York Journal Of Commerce re-
marks that apparently there is some
sinister influence behind this ill-timed
agitation and it is credited in part to old
opponents of the Panama route and in
isthmus canal which may interfere with
transcontlnental railway monopolies.
If anything Of this kind should de-
velop in congress it could hardly go far
Their than to delay appropriations for
canal work, thus obstructing It's prog
ress, for no one can be so foolish as to
suppose that this great undertaking will
not be continued. Cause for fault-find-
ing and criticism, so far as the canal
commission is concerned, there may be,
hut after having expended S6OOO0,OOO in
the enterprise there will be no halt in
prosecuting the work, though its prog
ress may be retarded. Opposition to the
Panama canal had its opportunity and
was defeated. Any further exhibition of
hostility must prove utterly futile.

right now to form a Nebraska club OF
