WASHINGTON YET UNINF0RMED AS
 ID NEBRASKAN
Secretary Bryan Says In formation Insufficient to
 Justify Statement.

Washington, May 2S.-The eXpecta- ton that official reports on the at tack on the Nebraskan would be re- ceived for the time for the discussion by the cabinet today.
 It was announced that the absence of pressing matters for the cabinet and 8 slight indisposition of the president made a meeting of the cab inet unnecessary.
 Secretary Bryan said that partial reports on the Nebraskan had been received from several sources, but that the state department was not in possession of sufficient information to enable it to make statement. His attention was called to the reports that Ambassador Page had obtained statements from Captain Greene of the Nebraskan, and that naval ex- perts and others had been instructed to examine the physical condition of the vessel. He said that no conclu- sive reports of any kind had reached the department.
 Mr. Bryan was not able to say whe- ther the information to be gathered by Ambassador Page, Consul General Skinner and Consul General Wash ington at Liverpool will be transmit ted to the department by mail or ca ble

Spook-Ridden Babylon.

In lecture in connection with the Egypt Exploration fund, on Burial Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt" Dr. L. w. King said the spirit which animated the Egyptians in their varied and changing practices toward the dead was based on affection and rev. erence, but the Babylonian, in the main, was prompted by fear. The Babylonians were probably more spook-ridden than any other nation of antiquity, and their magical texts made it clear that the most terrible class of spirits were the ghosts of the dead who for some reason had been unable to enter the underworld. Driven to hunger and thirst, such a gtost might roam about and fasten on anyone with whom it had relations in this life. and it would plague him until he performed the rites that could give peace. It was mainly to lay the ghost and prevent it from "haunt- ing" that the Babylonians were scru- pulous in performing the due burial rites.-London Times.

Characters of Justice.

It is finely said by Plato that as the knowledge that is divested of justice deserves the appellation of cunning, rather than wisdom, so mind unsus- ceptible of fear, if animated by private interest and not public utility, deserves the character of audaciousness, rather than of fortitude. We therefore require that all men of courage and magnanim- ity should be at the same time men of virtue and of simplicity, lovers of truth, and enemies to all deceit, for these are the main characters of jus. tice.-Cicero.

An Ancient Civilization.

"Where was the most ancient civ ilization known?" asks a recent trav- elcr in Turkestan, Dr. w. J. Parme' lee, in the Springfield Republican. Ex- plorations show that ten thousand years ago (twice the age of the Egypt ian pyramidsl people lived south east of the Caspian sea, about l2o miles from the sea, who had brick houses, decorated pottery, convenient and ingenious household articles, ana domestic animals; they raised ana ground wheat, and cooked their food. eo far as can be told, they had no weapons, and lived in peace with their reighbors-a trait that may be taken es evidencing civilization, or it's an' ueuce, according to the point of view.

Pike Shooting in Scotland.

The killing of fish by a sword by a lieutenant of the Royal Engineers receives much publicity. It may not have been hard to do, for pike often move sluggishly, and on fine warm days they have habit of basking on the surface. In Scotland people shoot pike regularly, the corpses being brought ashore by retriever dogs. But in Scotland they shoot several things that in England we kill in other ways. Foxes, for example.

tread the wine press of the
wrath of God alone" not for his
own sins, for he hadn't committed
any; but for the sins of the whole
world. The temptation was ire
mendous.
He went into the Mount of
Olives with his little company. He
asked his disciples to watch and
pray. Oh. the agony that came to
him there! Father" he cried,
must drink this bitter cup?''
On his knees alone in the MOON
light he agonized as no man in all
the, world had ever done or ever
could do. Then he returned to his
disciples for help and found them
asleep!
Great sentries were these dis
ciples-asleep on their posts
while the battle of the world was
raging only few rods away!
There was no rattle of musketry.
there were no laundering cannon.
no bursting shrapnel, but the bat
tie was still far more terrific.
Again he returns to the garden
to pray. eff it be possible he
cries, ''let this cup pass from me
nevertheless, not my will but
thine be done" His sweat became
as great drops of blood falling
down to the ground, so terrible
his agony.
His disciples asleep! Human
aid had utterly failed, and Luke
tells us that then an angel came
to strengthen him. But even the
angel was too weak to help him
win the battle he was fighting.
Finally, the Father himself came
and whispered to him the mean
ing of the cup and it's bitter
draught. Then the glow came in
to the Savior's face, for he had
won the battle, and the tempter
fled.

Now he has secured the
strength necessary to enable him
to conquer even death and the
grave, and he returns to his dis
ciples and tells them to sleep on
now and take their rest. He had
been betrayed into the hands of
his enemies, and he was ready to
go with them uncomplainingly to
the end, and tread the wine press
of the wrath of God alone.' +
His temptation was over, and
he was now ready for his mock
trial and the death on the cross
that must follow tomorrow. "He
was led like lamb to the slaugh-
ter" There was no resistance. He
was ready to be offered up for our
sins. and for the sins of the
whole world. He could have sum-
moned twelve legions of angels
and they could have rescued him
from the death of the cross. But
he came to save the lost. That was
his mission in the world and lie
was ready to fulfill it.
Napoleon had his Waterloo, our
Civil War had it's Gettysburg. and
the crisis of the European war is
soon to come. But the greatest
and most decisive battle of the
world was fought by one mar in

BUDGET SYSTEM NEEDED

The Government is charged
with extravaganza. and it is gull
ty. There is not The shade OF a
shadow of doubt about that. The
government is extravagant now
and it always has been. 1t will al
so continue to be extravagant, or
wasteful. as long as the country
is without an annual budget.
All intelligent people agree that
there is extravaganza, but what is
going to stop it as long as it is
without a budget system-which
is something it has never yet had
Everybody agrees that there
should be more economy in Gov
eminent expenditures, but when
it comes to framing an appropria-
ton bill it is simply competitive
grab, and the fellow that gets the
biggest handful for his constit-
uents is reckoned the greatest
statesman. =
Everybody realizes that every
body else is getting all he can, and
they do the same thing in self
protection. Sometime in the near
future there will be Congress
that will wake up to the necessity
of a scientific budget system, on
the plan of one synthetic total of
expenditures, appropriations and
taxation of economically regulat-
ed parts, and put an end to this
extravaganza.
