has quite recently concluded one of
the shrewdest treaties with Germany
that any diplomat has made in many
day. The bargain clause OF the
treaty is kept secret, but as Germany
has consented to resign the control OF

to be protected by her as she pro
tects" Tunis, 1t is believed In Berlin
that the French premier has given
secret assurances to the emperor that
France will never attempt to win
back Metz and Alsace, the provinces
acquired by Germany from France,
These lost colonial provinces are both
by geographical position and the
blood of their inhabitants, teutonic
and even We're it possible for France
to regain control of them it would re-

self In boiling water as result of
the drastic daylight saloon bill passed
at the last moment by the Democratic
Legislature. Business men of Omaha
and over the state generally are OPP
posed to the signing OF the bin and
are saying so In no uncertain terms.
A special train went to Lincoln from
Omaha Monday morning to register
emphatic protest And hundreds of
kilograms have been pouring into the
executive Office at Lincoln to register
the same opposition to the bill.
The bill was unexpected. Coming
from the Democratic legislature, which
was elected largely through efforts of
the Personal Rights league, the bill
/ was even the more of surprise. And
II now places Governor Shallenberger
In tight hole, He was elected by the
people of the state who are almost
unanimously against the bill. The
governors senatorial aspirations will
make him dependant upon the votes
of every one of the business men now
opposing the bin and thus strong pres
sure will be brought to secure his
veto On the other hand, of course. by
not signing II he will make opposition
among the Prohibltionists, but mas
much as he could hope for little from
that party, in any event. it seems pos
sible the cry of the business men of
the state for veto will sound loudest
In his ear.
