pressed deeply with the fact that when
they will take up arms against q com
munity of white people and shoot up"
the town, killing and wounding, and
then shield the guilty ones against
the law, Withholding information which
would lead to the detection of those
who did the wrong, they will have to
suffer for the misdomeanor.
For cities of the east or for the gov
eminent now to lend q sympathetic
or a pitilul voice to those three com
panics of colored soldiers, who have
been discharged by the president, is
nursing in those colorod breasts a spir.
it which must lead to more harm than
good fer the race as whole.
1t has been found in the south that
the sympathy or the pity extended to
negroes lynched, only creates in the
minds of the balance of the race an
idea that their faults and crimes are
being applauded and more trouble en-
sues.
Not only will the action of the pres.
ident in this case become a much
needed lesson to the colored troops,
who are said to be noted for shielding
their guilty against the law, but II
will also be a lesson for the army.
Soldiers, If an army is to be main
tanned, must learn that discipline is
the first law for them to obey and
when they disregard the orders of
their superior officers, 1t Is time for
them to be dropped from the ranks
and give up their muskets.
The case in question is not one for
the display of an exaggerated senti-
pie. A crime was committed and the
three companies who became guilty
by shielding the offenders, have been
punished. Their punishment has not
been so harsh as it might have been
had the guilty individuals been given
over to the state of Texas.
1t is no occasion for the north to
interfere with its unreasonable sym
pathy and pity where pity and sym
pathy are undeserved. 1t is well to
impress those soldiers and the rest of
the country with the fact that the
president, responsible for the acts of
the army, must have discipline at any
cost and must, when he issues an or
der, be endorsed by the American ma
ton rather than assailed with smiling
appeals and whining demands that he
set aside his first determination and
put the punished parties on pedestals
of the hero.

by stating that there viii this week be

the purpose of arousng feeling that
will back a demand for congressional
investigation Of the presidents dis

There Is one particularly nsatisfac.
tory feature to the discharge, and dis
charge only, made by the president.
In discharging the entire three com
panics, he has come no nearer the
punishment deserved by the guilty par
ties than he was IN the beginning. n
discharge Is not sufficient punishment
for the crimes committed. The gov.
eminent should hunt out the guilty
individuals and see that they get real
genuine punishment and plenty of It,
for shooting up Brownsville, Merely
discharging the men from the ranks
and taking away the soldier uniform
Is nothing. 1t is setting n bad procc
dent In the future a company which
desires to be freed from the service
may take this as an example, go out
and kill a citizen, conceal the guilty
ones and all get discharged,
The guilty should be placed and a
more severe punishment than has been
melted out, inflicted.

to keep down the gambling spirit in
New York, the government would
make this new money productive so
far as the west is concerned.
The west is getting along nicely

When the west got in pinch in 1893
the east had no use for an elastic cur

In the fall we ask our own money

Through all the ages of society men
have been trying to work out some
sort of an elastic currency reform, but
one that was safe has never been

elasticity Is needed.
One banker says that the business
of this country could be done on a
quarter of the currency that Is now
in circulation. The west Is not ready

A TARIFF RESOLUTION.

The grange, at a meeting in Denver,
adopted resolutions against tariff
which allows a manufacturer to sell
goods at home at higher rates than he
can get abroad for his wares. This
resolution, while apparently reason
able, is not logical, There will, of
course, always be room for honest
differences of opinion in regard to the
tariff question. Yet a tariff which al
lows manufacturer to sell at home
at certain price and sell abroad at
less price, has its advantages.
A manufacturer of hats, for in
stance, might turn out IA product and
sell II in this country at fair margin
of profit, The tariff protects him and
allows him to make a profit. But for
the tariff he would be unable to com
pete with the cheaper labor of other
countries.
Now in supplying the home market
he gives work to a certain number of
men, and no more. Without extra
markets he can not employ extra men
In n foreign country the price on
his product due to lower wages paid
in a foreign land, is lower than he
gets here, He can not send hats tC
that country and sell them at the pric
es prevalent there. He can not make
profit, because of the high wages h,
pays, by selling them for less.
But he can sell them in a foreign
land at for example the very bedrock
cost price. This completes with for
eign manufacturers in lands where M
tariff protects them.
BY selling over there at cost, he get
an added market. He must produc
more hats. He must hire more men
And so, though making little or n
profit out of the venture, he is actin
as middleman between foreign ha
buyers and local hat buyers, and /
giving employment to Americans tina
they could not have otherwise secured
bringing money into American circr
lation that would not otherwise hay
been brought here.
He makes his living off the produc
that he sells at home at a reasonabl
profit. He makes the living for tn
laboring man by selling surplus pre-
ducts abroad at foreign prices whic
help keep the wheels of his factor
going, though not bringing in prof
to speak Of for the institution.

is HEARST UNRELIABLE?

That William Randolph Hearst is
not dead politically, though defeated,
is shown by the interest which is still
taken in his personality and his meth
DDS by the public at large. A rural
subscriber to The News, living several
miles out of Norfolk, telephones in to
this paper and says You have had
good deal to say about Hearst. You
say he is unreliable. Is that true?
We would like to have you print some
thing to show us that he is unre-
liable"
Is Hearst unreliable? That is the
question. Let us call to the witness
stand Mr.. Hearst and his papers.
Mr.. Hearst wants to be president of
papers in New York, Boston, Chicago,
Los Angeles and San Francisco, all
of which are aiding in his fight for
the presidency. He claims to be an
| honorable man, worthy that high of
fee. Perhaps an incident at the time
of the assassination of President Nc
He was a candidate for the presden-
cy. He hoped to tear down Mckinley
Rnd hoist himself to the white house.
Hearst's newspaper in New York, the
Journal, had printed many things of
violent nature concerning Mckinley.
On one occasion it said, 1T (the bullet
speeding here Ito Washington to lay
Mckinley on his bier" 1t said, "If
bad men and bad institutions can not
be gotten rid of without killing them,
then killing must be done" The very
week in which the assassination oc-
Cured, Hearst's paper cartooned Nc
a trust minstrel show led by Mark
Hanna. CzolgosZ the assassin, de-
clared that he had been induced to kill
Mckinley by reading articles in Hearst
papers. On the day of the funeral
there was SIMULTANEOUSLY printed on
the front page of a Hearst paper the
favorite hymn of the dead president
Lead, Kindly Light" This was done
because public wrath almost destroyed
Hearst papers.
Is that sort of a man reliable?
Mr.. Hearst in one of his speeches
declared he was opposed to the use
of money in politics. His own state
ment after the campaign shows that
he spent more than quarter of q
million dollars in his race for the gov
ernorship.
Does that appear to make him re
liable?
Mr. Hearst suppressed the import
ant parts of the speeches of Mr.
Hughes and twisted the other parts
into prominence, making it appear thai
he was reporting the entire speech Of
his opponent.
Mr. Hearst denounced Murphy, Tam

NEBRASKA BANKERS.

The Nebraska bankers, despite pres
sure brought to bear by bankers of
New York City and other large cen
tiers which would benefit by the pro
posed currency reform, had the cour-
age to stand up and vote against the
plan that has been put forth from New
York by the committee of the Nation
al association, and for that action the
people of Nebraska and of the west
will pat the financiers of the golden
rod state on the back.
The first state association to take
action upon the plan as proposed in
New York the other day, the Nebras
kans were placed in the limelight on
their action and 1t required courage to
come out in sharp and decisive stand
against the action of the committee
from the national association and the
New York Chamber of Commerce.
But the Nebraska bankers will be up
held by their own state without dis
senting vote. and 1t is to be hoped that
their view of the situation will be-
come so prevalent that the currency
reform will die natural death before
ever 1t reaches the halls of congress.
AS a Tilden banker in the Omaha
convention put it, why not float sill
yer, If you wish to expand your cur.
rency? That would do some good for
somebody, at least, while this making
of paper money without anything to
back it, and merely for the sake of
the New York spectators, does no
body any good, outside those few who
get the loans without security"
Mr.. Bryan in 1896 proposed just such

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
spoke in Norfolk during 1896. He was
talking about the absurdity of trying
to float silver cartwheel worth fifty
six cents and calling 1t dollar. He
was telling of the danger in this sort
of thing to the country's commercial
interests, and pointed out how, with
less confidence in the money, all prices
would go skyward. Pat Rooney, from

LET HER SPEND IT.

MIS, hOSt lHSlpI SlOktS, OnCt Il
cigar maker and now wife of the New
York millionaire socialist, has come
out with caustic words against the
habit of Miss Giulia Morosini bankers
daughter in New York, who spends
100000 per year upon her gowns.
Mrs. Stokes voices a vicious sentiment
when she says:
Women thus wastefu and eXtrava-
giant do not deserve to be happy"
Would the socialist decree that the
rich should hoard their gold? Is it
not much better for society that the
wealthy should thus spend their saw
ings, that the laborer may get the
benefit?
In striking contrast with this dan
gerous and utterly illogical sentiment
as expressed by Mrs. Stokes, is the
sentiment of DR.. De Grand Powers
who says; People are spending mon
ely nowadays and they are spending 1t
fast, Our prosperity depends upon
our spending. If everybody boarded
what he earned, prosperity would
cease. We would fry in our own fat"
From the tone of Mrs. Stokes words
1t seems apparent that this former
cigar maker and now millionaire's
wife, Is striking out more for noto-
riety than for the good of society. She
has fallen into n common habit that
has taken hold of the country of late,
that of condemning the wealthy, re-
CARELESS of circumstances. The UNI
reasonable position of this socialist
view is made more striking by con-
trast with expressions few months
ago upon the death of Russell Sage.
Russell Sage boarded his money. He
was not eXtravagant and wasteful, as
Miss Morosini is painted, but was a
miser and withal saved some eighty
millions of coins worth a dollar before
his working days came to an end.
Then there went up a cry from this
same hysterical sort of throat against
the boarding of Sage. He was de
nounced as a weed in the social field;
an enemy of all progress and mar
worse than the penitentiary convict
He should have spent his money, was
the complaint on every hand
And here is another New York fl
nancier trying to spend his money Oh
his daughters gown at the rate o
, 100000 per year, for which effor
there is bitter denunciation from tn,
socialistic lips.
1t were better to spend ones none!
than to give it away. Charity is
noble thing and gifts are glorious ant
heroic, but the man who works 70
his bread is a better citizen than h,
who gets it as donation.
t Therefore let Miss Morosini spen,
2 her allowance in peace. There is to,
> much of nonsense uttered against tn
- man who has made money, and to-
! little honest effort among the CON
' plainants to exercise faculties and b.
persistent work earn their own liy
ings.
The world is a pretty good place
after all, and in the long run peopl
l generally get about what is comkh
5 to them.

and c. S. Hayes of Norfolk, Make
Trip to Coal Field in Wyoming.
A special dispatch from Manville,
Wyo., to the Omaha Bee, says regard
ing the opening up of a coal mine
owned by Norfolk men:
F. Walters, assistant general man
ager of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad has just left Lost Springs,
the first station west of here, on the
Northwestern railroad. He had just
returned in company with other North
western officials and mining and en-
cheering experts from a trip of in
spection to the property of the Rosin
Coal company. Their mine is located
nine miles north of Lost Springs.
With him were DR.. Holden, c. S.
Hayes and other business men of Nor
folk, Neb., who own controlling in
terest in the mine. DR.. Holden, who
is the president of the Rosin Coal
company, expressed himself as delight
ed with the report OF the Northwest
ern coal mining expert. He reports
that there are millions of tons of coal
on the companys property, and that
it is a commercial coal superior to
that shipped from other mines located
along the line of the Northwestern.
The visit of the railroad officials was
made to inspect the property with a
view to putting in a spur to tap the
country north Of Lost Springs. There
are great beds of coal with four or
five veins from six to twelve feet in
depth, extending from few miles
north of Lost Springs to the other side
of the Cheyenne river This action of
the Northwestern is of especial inter-
est in view of the fact that last week
the Douglas land Office received orders
withdrawing $4,000 acres in the Platte
district from entry, This order only
applies, however, to coal land west of
Grin Junction, which is twenty miles
from Lost Springs.
