THE PEERLESS AT HOME.

Boston Herald; Neither Mr.. Bryan's
name nor his policies were mentioned at
the recent democratic convention in Ne
braska. And II takes no thirteen questions
to find out why.
Des Moines Capital: The Nebraska
democrats are showing progress. They
have reached a point where they can hold
a convention without passing resolutions to
the effect that william ]. Bryan is the
greatest man that ever lived or ever will
live.
Boston Transcript: Bryan has Numbered
against Harmon, that is the Commoner has
made a noise as nearly approximatlng
thunder as IL can, directed at the Ohio
governor. The absence OF even an echo
of this thunder from the convention is
equivalent, IL not to an Endorsement OF
Harmon. to a refusal Of the Nebraska
democrats to follow Bryan.
New York Post: Bryan among the demo-
Gratis and La Toilette among the republic
cans Jared equally i'll in the Nebraska
state conventions yesterday. Another
thing about the Nebraska democratic do
ings which is almost as much of a novelty
as the absence of the Bryan factor. is
the presence Of a point-with- pride decIara-
ton that has something substantial to
point to.
st. Louis Republic: The action Of the
democratic convention in failing to indorse
Colonel Bryan is the more significant.
when considered in relation to the Incl
dents at Washington, where Speaker
Clark's plan OF wholesale revision appears
to have been defeated in the democratic
caucus, because of an apparent disposition
upon the part OF the house democrats to
repudiate Bryan's leadership in the matter
of tariff revision. II the attitude Of the
democratic convention is to be accepted as
a test of strength upon this issue the I'm
derwood plan has not entirely failed to
commend itself to the representative demo-

The democratic world-Herald is

The democratic World-Herald is
greatly distressed because the repub-
lican state platform does not specif-
ically endorse pending legislation for
increase of pensions to union veterans
This is the same newspaper that once
editorially announced that the PEN
sions were never honestly deserved,
and bewailed the fact that the PEN
stoned veterans were so long lived
The veterans know that they have al
ways been literally treated in the mat
ter of pensions by republicans over the
strenuous opposition of the southern
democrats, who are now in the saddle
in the democratic party.

The Nebraska delegation in Wash
ington, democrats and republicans
alike, are to vote for the bill reducing
the tariff duties on cotton. That
ought to be perfectly safe, inasmuch
as not a pound of cotton is grown or
manufactured in Nebraska, and the
only influential Nebraskan directly in
terested, that We know of. is a former
governor, who has been developing
some cotton lands on the lower
Mississippi.

The water company is ready to begin

A Possible Precedent.

Illinois may settle for Nebraska one
point which has been raised against
the appropriation by the late legisla-
ture for building for the medical de-
partment of our State university.
Over in Illinois a similar appropria-
ton was made for the medical depart
partment of the University of Illinois,
and the homeopaths are threatening
to attack it on the ground that 1t is
discriminating and class legislation
because the instruction in medicine
conforms to the so-called allopathic
school. The test is to come in the
form of an Injunction suit brought by
the Illinois Homeopathic association
to prohibit the state auditor from pay
ing over the appropriation of $4,000
made by the legislature for the med
zeal school. In Illinois other technical
defects are also alleged, which may be
an excuse for the court to ignore this
main proposition. But IL Illinois will
decide it, the decision there should be
helpful in settling the contentious at
mosphere among our Nebraska needles

No, but the people who voted the

bonds voted in 1900, and to issue

is hereby rescinded," and no sale
could ever after be made of the an
nulled bonds. The voting of the pro-

give the Water board legal authority
to issue $17,75O,OOO of bonds any time
It chooses.

Official records, multiplying faster
than the increase in acreage of cotton

so numerous that we threaten to step

COurt-Sdartial Cases.

COurt-Martial Cases.
The president has acted on one Of the
army court-martial cases which has been
before him involving sentences Of dismiss
sal 1t is that of Lieutenant-Colonel Elmer
w. Hubbard, OF the coast artillery corps,
who is stationed at Fort Moultrie, 8. c.
Executive approval Of the sentence of
dismissal in this case was not necessary,
as the president has decided that Colonel
Hubbard may take advantage of this priv
ilege of retirement on his own applica-
ton after thrifty years service. This appli-
cation was approved in view of Colonel
Hubbar's military record, which has been
an excellent one The oother case is that of
Lieutenant Robert @. Rutherford, Jr.,
Twenty fourth infantry, on duty at Madi-
son Barracks. N. Y, who has been SEN
fenced to dismissal for alleged irregulari-
ties. 1t is understood that much influence
is being exerted in behalf of Lieutenant
Rutherford, and, in the meantime, the
postponement OF executive action is serving
to delay the promotion of first and second
Ilieutenants OF the infantry arm.

Cheap Fodder for Army.
The military authorities are much graft
fled with the result Of the competitive bid
ding this year for hay and oats to be
shipped to the Philippines for the animals
OF the army In the islands. Contracts
were this week awarded by the quarter
master general to W. w. Robinson of
Seattle, for 10000 tons Of best east Wash
ington timothy hay at 81 cents and to
Balfour, Guthrie q Co., also of Seattle,
for 1000 tons OF oats at t1.S. This repre-
sents the annual supply for the Philippines
and the prices are much lower than the
contract rates of last year, when the War
department paid t1.15 for hay and A.A
for oats. An unusual phase Of the stu
alton this year was the failure to receive
any bids from the central-western section
of the country, a circumstance which is
probably due to the prevalence OF drought
and the failure of the hay crop to a degree
that will provide nothing for foreign ship
ment and which will meet only about 60
per cent of the demand at home. Under
these circumstances, II is the more remark
able that such satisfactory prices should
be obtained.

loss sustained not only by our
church, but by the entire Chris
tan community in the removal
of one who was active IN all
good works and was an exam
pie of Christian virtues.
He had his share Of suffering,
in the evening of his life, vet
through it all he preserved the
cheerful spirit of the trustful
childiof God. Simple in hisItastes,
pleasing in his manner, charita-
BILE in his disposition, upright in
his dealings, he won from his
fellow-men a name for Whatso-
ever things are true, honest,
just, pure, lovely, and of good
report. Not stain rests on a
career extending over half a
century, not a heart is known
to cherish the recollection Of an
unkind word or act.
In his home his :irtues and
graces were most beautiful, at
tractive, affectionate, CHEEKY,
helpful and self-sacrifcing. He
Iavished on his wife and chill
dren the riches of a great and
loving heart.
The Presbyterian church, of
which he was a loyal member
and a faithful officer, rejoices in
the thought that the Lord should
count. when He writeth up His
people, this man was born there.
We here record our witness to
his generosity and liberality in
the support of the church and
her institutions. By his walk
and conversation he illustrated
the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Sincere, modest. gentle,
merciful, kind, patient, loving,
he tried to live Christ's life. He
won the love and confidence of
all who knew him, and our
church feels that each member
has lost a personal friend.
We the session Of the church
extend to the family OUT pro-
found and loving sympathy,
and commend them to the God
of all comfort for consolation.
We direct that this action be
placed on the record Of this ses-
sion, that a copy be furnished
