Lowenthal, the man who was sent
north to construct Wellman's balloon
sheds, etc., says that the whole scheme
was huge bluff-that, Wellman never
intended making an attempt to reach
the pole, but merely sought to adver-
tise himself. Lowenthal also quotes
Wellman as saying that he had bluffed
the world with an impossible project.
We're Wellman to make a canvass he
would find that the world is not so
easily bluffed, especially by a man
who has the reputation of being a
humbug:

Judge Going of Chicago, in lectur-
ing a runaway girl, made use of this
language: "The first stopping places
on the road to hades for a chorus girl
leaving Chicago are Winnipeg to the
north, Memphis to the south, Omaha
to the west and Buffalo to the east"
The judge evidently does not realize
that Chicago is hades in itself and a
good place for girl to get away
from.

For twenty years an endeavor- has
been made to get a bill through the
Prussian parliament which would
permit persons to have their relatives
cremated, and now the passage of
such a measure bids fair to mate
rialize. Clerical opposition was the
reason why a law to this effect has not
heretofore been enacted-a form of
superstition which has apparently
been eliminated. There is not the
scintilla of doubt that incarceration
is the best way, fl ON sanitary stand
point, to dispose of the dead, and the
time will probably arrive when such
course will be made compulsory by
law. Then, again, there is the salts
faction of knowing, where cremation
is resorted to, that ghouls are pre-
cluded from stealing the bodies of our
relatives for the dissecting table and
that we can preserve their ashes, if we
feel so inclined, in funeral urns.
These urns, duly labeled, could be
handed down from generation to
generation and would prove much
more interesting than the regulation
family tree.

The Polk County Democratic club
of Crookston is circulating an address
to the voters of the state in which the
Nebraskan is lauded as "the great
defender of national honor, who since
1896 has led the democratic party from
the darkness of political misfortune to
the brilliancy of established truths. -
This doesn't look as if Governor
Johnson-as claimed by Frank Day
is the whole thing in the state democ-

The Generosity of the Defeated.

Perhaps it was good politics to rub
it in on the Bryan men; the Tribune
doesn't know much about that kind of
politics, anyway.
But from every other point of view
it would have been wiser for a
triumphant majority of 10 to to con-
quer the minority a second time with
generous kindness. We cannot help
wishing that Governor Johnson had
been present in St. Paul during the
convention, or that his lieutenants
were more susceptible to the contagion
OF his unvarying courtesy and con-
sideration for others.
It is true that the Johnson men have
the whole spoils of victory. It is true
that the Bryan men could have done
nothing to deprive them of these, ex-
cept by the futile act of boiling and
sending contesting delegation to the
democratic national convention. But
that act would have deprived Johnson
of the complete support of his own
state there and put it in the power of
Bryan to shut him out of it COM
pletely.
Remember that Bryan will hold the
Denver convention in the hollow of
his hand. He will control it for the
purposes of organization, and all
business but nominations, if he does
not have a two-thirds majority, for
that supreme purpose. We do not
suppose he would use that control to
shut Johnson out, but the Bryan men
in Minnesota might easily have given
him the opportunity to do So
They have refrained from this with
a courtesy and good temper in strik-
ing contrast with the arrogance and
boorishness with which they were
treated by the Johnson manager in his
opening address. The defeated party
has given the conquerers a lesson in
politeness and generosity. That is not
favorable example to set for a
greater. convention, where Bryan will
be in control and Johnson at his
mercy. :,
We do not believe that any man can
be nominated for president or vice
president at Denver without the com
plete and hearty consent of Mr.. Bryan.
1t he cannot be nominated, he can de-
feat any other. he is not a man of
large and generous nature.
If he should use his power to put an
end to: the public life of Gov. john
son.: that gentleman may thank chiefly
the:evil genius of the whole sof il.

for about two months. working night
and day against his enemies.
It is declared by old-time politicians,
who are used 10 rough and tumble poll
tics that the contest in Arkansas has
broken the record for tumultuousness-
Ut is said 70 be IN a class by itself, with
more excitement TO the square inch
