HANDOUTS FOR OMAHA.

Grand Island Free Press: A Grand
Island hide company advertises in an
Omaha paper for 100000 skunks. Good
place to locate them.
Plattsmouth Journal (dem): To treat
John o. Heiser right the legislature
should refuse to pay him a cent for the
trouble he has put Omaha to, and IL he
is worth bothering with City Clerk Butler
should bring suit against him for damages.
Beatrice Sun: A woman wearing the
new trouser skirt was mObbed on the
streets of Paris But the trOuser skirt
goes in Omaha. This should suggest to
the governor another opportunity TO ap-
point a commission to regulate the metrop-
oils OF Nebraska.
Kearney Hub: An Omaha syndicate has
started a Louisiana boom and will APP
peal to the gentlemen with easy money
with special car, luxurious accommoda-
lions en- route, and a glittering prospectus
of the advantages of investment In that
locality. OF course Nebraska money Is
needed for these investments and 1t Is
safe to say that most of It will stay wher,
it is put" whether 1t be in rice swamp
or cotton plateau.
Kearney Hub: The investigation Of tn,
alleged Omaha registration and election
frauds did not sustain the governors al
legation as a whole, but sufficient wal
shown to warrant the holding Of the in
vestigation Procuring proof, or rather
sworn evidence. was OF course difficult, SC
it was found that the governor had In
part been ''misinformed," and the In,
tegrity OF the city clerk was also vouched
for. Well. that is all right, but the PEG,
pie of the state are hoping that It vii

Mr.. Bryan's Blacklist


II anyone has entertained doubts
that Mr.. Bryan expects to be a factor
in the next democratic national con-
vention he should be convinced by the
declaration of intention in the current
issue OF the Commoner. In this he de-
olares that newspapers friendly to diff
ferent candidates seem disposed to
misconstrue his comments upon the
different democrats whose names have
been suggested for the nomination,
and continues:
/ Some weeks ago four names were men
! toned. and questions which have been
asked concerning them have been answer "a.
Some OF the eastern papers at once re-
ported that Mt Bryan had declared tho
/ four gentlemen named TO he available
candidates More recently the Commoner
has referred 10 different public men in con-
nectiou with their official work. II might
be as well understood now as later than

Of the world to enhance the cost Of the
cup Of coffee with which Mr. Norris washes
down his breakfast rou7
Some OF Mr.. Norris figures look az
though he were barking up the wrong
tree. What has particularly excited him
Is that certain grade OF coffee. AZ the
beginning Of It's present rocket-like move
ment, sold at cents that grade has
gone up as high as 10 cents. Prices at re
tail have advanced 10 to % per cent in
few months" We find that the regular
grade Of coffee is selling on the New York
exchange at between 10 and II cents. II

advanced from 40 TO 40 per cent or from
8 20 IS cents, the nefarioua conspiracy OF
the Republic Of Brasil. the greatest bank
ers in the world and the importers does not
go very far toward explaining IT,, AS
matter Of fact MT Norris statement ot
the advance Of retail prices Is a great
exaggeration.
Why the retail grocer should sell sugar
at cost and coffee at a cent per cent profit
We do not understand Probably no one
outside of the grocery trade does under
stand It, But, as Mr.. Norris points out,
the difference between the wholesale price
Of the common grades Of Brazil coffee and
the retail price Of coffee which is strongly
suspected Of being an immigrant from Bra
sil, but purports to come from Java, Mocha,
Venezuela, Porto Rico and Mexico is vide
enough to attract attention and arouse
curiosity. It lie 30 wide as to indicate very
little relation between the wholesale and
retail prices. and therefore the price Mr..
Norris has to pay for his domestic supply
can be charged only In a subordinate de-
gree to the reprehensible conduct Of Brasil
and the Rothschilds.

Reciprocity, which failed in the
sixty-first congress and for which the
president has called the extra session
OF the Sixty-second. should, on the
face Of returns, be approved by the
incoming senate. Fourteen Of the new
senators are for this Canadian reci-
procity plan, according to a poll made
by the New York Herald. That, it is
figured. will in the senate give two
thirds majority for the proposition
and the house probably will vots again
for It. Had there been a single ardent
friend Of the measure capable and de-
sirous OF leadership in the last senate,
It might have been put through that
body, for on preference reciproclty is
of at least twenty-five senators. But
many of these did not care enough
about it to get behind the plan the
president was so anxious to push
through
or the most ardent opponents of
reciprocity, Senator Hale will be sue
ceeded by Johnson, who favors It, and
according to this poll makes a net
gain of two votes. Hitchcock Of Ne
braska voted for It in the house and
will displace Burkett, marked on the
poll as opposed another net gain of
two. Townsend takes the place Of
Burrows from Michigan, adding two
more. Atlee Pomerene displaces Dick
Of Ohio, two more. John ID. Works
comes from California to succeed
Flint, opposed two more. The same
gain is made in Poindexter's success
sion of Piles from Washington. OF the
eight other new senator's, each sue
ceeds a man who, was IN favor of reci-
procity. Montana's new senator,
Meyers. has not made his attitude
known as yet New York, Iowa and
Colorado are TO elect senators. But
reciprocity is figured to have enough
now to win.
But If the democrats play politics
with the reciprocity agreement, the
extra session may continue far into the
summer and undoubtedly a reopen
ing of several schedules of the tariff
will ensue. Should reciprocity be thus
held back, such thing is possible as
deadlock on party lines, with reel
procity and tariff revision confused
and used TO block one another. Nor
may we suppose that congress will be
content to rest with only tariff mat
ters; 1t is likely to include in its ope-
rations a large variety of measures
For the first time since the Cleveland
regime, the country will have a senate
republican by a slight majority and a
house democratic by a big margin
Results under such conditions must be
problematical at every turn.

Key To TIME Success,

Henry L. Higginson in the Atlantic.
The question of true success is OF world
wide interest, yet It remains unanswered.
Socialism can give no reply, because it
cripples and destroys individual effort
and individuals make the world. Govern
ment can do little, for It accompanies far
less than individuals, Education, which
strengthens each unit and binds all to-
gether can alone bring us In sight of our
goal, and education may be immeasurably
widened in extent and raised in value by
our able men. who have won their spurs,
and who are ready now TO work for the
common veal. Is not this the key to true
success? 3. ur
