per has felt the effects of dull timesduring the past year, yet the editorhas not missed a meal for lack offunds to pay for it, nor have theprinters struck because they didnot receive their pay promptly.For these conditions the editor isduly thankful; and he is also grate-ful for the patronage given the pa-

vival of business are realized, itwill be materially increased in size.

Edison says that science will becompelled to offer suggestions fordefending our seacoasts in time- - ofwar.

Jack dosen't appear to be verymuch in evidence these days, andit is doubtful whether he cares tomake another flyer for the governorship; but whether it shall be MacColl or some other man from thissection, it will be sufficient to havethe governor hail from this cornerof the state. Kearney Hub.

E. B. Warner, ot this city, ismentioned as a candidate for dele- -

gate-at-lar- ge to the republican na-

tional convention at St. Louis nextJune. It is believed that Nebraskawill send a McKinley delegation tothat convention, and as Mr. Warnerwas the only delegate from Nebras-ka who cast his vote for McKinleyin the convention ot 1892, it wouldseem that the stand he took torthe great protectionist at that timeshould entitle him to recognitionwhen the selection of delegates tothe coming convention is made.

The list of aspirants for the republican nomination for congressin this district is large and steadilygrowing. Among those spoken otare some strong men and also somemighty weak ones. What the re-

publican convention should do is tonominate the man who possessesthe ability to make a live, earnestrepresentative and who will alsopoll the full vote of the party. TheSixth district is. we believe, republi-

can-by a small plurality, and withthree tickets in the field a strongrepublican candidate can win. eventhough Governor Si is nominatedby the populists.

One of the most notorious green-good- s

swindlers, Vosburg, was dis-

charged from custody the day be-

fore Christmas in New York, wherehe had been on trial for swindlinga Nebraska farmer out of 5500.

His lawyer made a plea for clem-

ency based upon the ground thathis client had never sought to takehuman life and he concluded bysaying: "In brief let the law bemerciful, and grant a suspension ofsentence on account of Christmasand the crucifixion of our Lord."Recorder Goff. that remarkable re-

form official, actually barkened tothe plea and did discharge the no-

torious swindler on the council'spromise that Vosburg should abstain from crime in the future.Vosburg is an aged man whose liteis a record of crime and who couldno more obey the law than he couldfly. It will probably not be thirtydays before he swindles another vic-

tim. One remark of the recorder'?,however, is worthy of notice. Heexpressed the belief , that the far-mer who comes to purchase counter-feit money should be punished as afelon. There is truth in this, butthat is no reason why Vosburgshould, have been turned loose uponthe community. Council BluffsNonpareil,

TEANSVAAL INVASION

THE CRISIS IS ENDANGERING THEANGLO-GERMA- N RELATIONS.

President Kramer Determined to Repel theBritish by Force of Anns Sketch of Dr.Jameson's Ufe Was the Prime BIoTez

Za the Matab el e War.

London, Jan. 2. A dispatch, fromThe Hague to The Times says that theRotterdam Checoyrant regards Dr.Jameson's action in the Transvaal as amost flagrant example of British arro-gance. It admits that Holland can donothing for the Boers and fears thatEoglandwill seize the opportunity towipe out the stain of the Majuba HillIncident. It also expresses the, hope thatGermany will come to the rescue.

The Berlin correspondent of TheTimes says: "Thecriiis is clearly en-

dangering the Anglo-Germa- n relations.Public opinion is excited and angry andwithout doubt the government will in-

terfere because relations have graduallyarisen between the Transvaal and Ger-many, which have assumed in the pub-

lic mind almost the shape of a moralprotectorate by Germany over theTransvaal."

It is stated that President Kruger hastelegraphed to Colonial Secretary Cham-berlain pledging his government thatthe Beers shall temporarily adopt a pas-

sive attitude toward Dr. Jameson'sforces on its arrival outside of Johan-nesber- g.

An important feature of thisarrangement between Mr. Clamberlainand President Kruger is that all respon-sibility for hostility will rest with thechartered South Africa company.

Sketch of Dr. Jameson's Life.Dr. Jameson, the leader of the party

of British South Africa company sym-pathizers now engaged, apparently inan invasion of the Transvaal, is the ad-

ministrator for the British South Africacompany's territory in Mashonal andMatabele lands. He is the son of aScotch journalist and was educated forthe medical profession. But just as hebegan to make his mark as a practi-tioner in Glasgow, he decided to go toSouth Africa, and in the early '70s hereached the diamond fields and soon ac-

quired a high reputation and it remun-erative practice in the treatmont of ty-

phoid malerial diseases as"camp fever,"which is very prevalent in the SouthAfrica mining districts. In fact Dr.Jameson was so successful that he wasupon the point of returning to Scotlandwhen he was persuaded by Mr. CecilRhodes, the premier of Cape Colony, toenter the service of the British SouthAfrica company, in which not only Mr.Rhodes, but all his friends, are under-stood to bo largely interested.

CONFLICT IS EXPECTED DAILY.

President Krngcr Determined ta Repel theBritish by Force of Arm.

Berlin, Jan. 2. A cable dispatch re-

ceived here from Pretoria says a risinghas occurred at Johannesburg. It isadded that 300 more armed men belong-ing to British chartered company havecrossed the frontier and that PresidentKruger is determined to repel the free-booters by force of arms. A conflict be-

tween the Boers and England is expect-ed at any time.

In discussing the invasion of Trans-vaal by Dr. Jamison and the forces ofthe British South Africa company, allthe newspapers here declare his actionconstitutes a serious and unjustifiablebreach of the peace against which Ger-many must protest.

The National Zeitung remarks thatGerman interests demand the mainten-ance of the independence of the SouthAfrican republic, and it expects that thegovernment will vigorously defend andcome to President Kreuger's aid in caseof necessity.

PRESIDENTIAL DEMAND HONORED IN

FULL BY THE HOUSE.

Provides For an Issue of 3 Per Cent Bonds,Emergency Measures Now Go to the Sen-

ate Congresiional Proceeding In De-

tail Spirited Dobate In tho Senate.

Washington, Dec. 29. When thehouse convened today but three hoursremained for debate on the bond bill.The vote by tho terms of the rulo underwhich the house was operating was tobe taken at 3 o'clock. The attendancewas large. Mr. Brossius (Rep., Pa.)opened the debate in favor of the bill.

The debate was closed for the respect-ive sides by Messrs. Crisp and Dalzell.The former insisted that the bill was apolitical measure really inten- - em-barrass the treasury, while ttersaid it was a plain business tionto save interest. Mr. Dalzell ui tackedthe Carlisle interview of last night as aviolation of the decencies of public life.

At 3 p. m. a vote was taken on thofirst section, and resulted as follows:Yeas, 169; nays, 136. Forty-seve- n Re-

publicans voted with the Democratsand Populists against the bill.

The second section of the bond billwas then passed without a division.HOUSE PASSED THE TARIFF BILL.

Designed to Raise 840,000,000 For the Be-lief of the Treasury.

Washington, Dec. 28. The houseyesterday responded to the appeal of thepresident by parsing a tariff bill, thooperation of which is limited to twoand a half years, and which is designedto raise 40,000,000 for the relief of the

, treasury. The vote was on party linesj with two exceptions. The special

order under which the bill was broughtto a vote at 5 o'clock, after three and ahalf hours of debate, was ironclad in its

: character, and compelled the membersto adopt or reject it without opportunityof offering amendments of any kind.

The bill as passed repeals the presenttariff law until Aug. 1, 1898. It restores

i 60 per cent of the McKinley rates onwool and woolens, lumber and carpersand makes a horizontal increase of thepresent rates in all other schedules, ex-

cept sugar, of 15 per cent. When thebill was put upon its passage, it waspassed by 205 to 81, the vote being takenby yeas and nays.

AGREED ON REORGANIZATION.

Resolution Passed In the Senate by a Ma-

jority of Two.Washington, Dec. 31. Tho commit

tees of the senate Monday passed intothe control of the Republican.-- - Thechange in the political complexion oftho committees was effected by theadoption of a resolution organizing thecommittees as agreecLto by the Repub-lican and Democratic steering commit-tees. The Pcpulists, with the exceptionof Mr. Kyle (S. D.), declined to voteand the Republicans having a pluralityof the senate, were thus enabled toadopt the resolution by a vote of 30 to28. Mr. Kyle voted with the Democratsagainst the reorganization. A ur

debate followed the adoption of the reso-lution, the purposo of which was mainlypolitical. The Democrats, under the"leadership of Senator Gorman, ablyseconded by Senator Harris, attemptedto show that the reorganization waseffected by an alliance between the Re-publicans and Populists, contendingthat the silence of tho latter, makingpossible the reorganization, indicatedacquiecence. He also insisted that theRepublican accomplishment of controlsaddled them with responsibility for leg-islation. The Populists, led by SenatorAllen (Neb ) and Senator Butler (N.C), denied that they were in anyfashion responsible for the result.

Before the reorganization, Henry Ca-

bot Lodge, the senator from Massachu-setts who has made a brilliant reputa-tion as an historical biographer, deliv-ered an address on the Monroe doctrine.Although temperate in language, hetook the ground that, unless we insistedthat Venezuela's dispute with GreatBritain should be submitted to friendlyarbitration, we would surrender the es-

sence, spirit and vital principle of theMonroe dectrine, which, he contended,was as essential to the safety and wel-fare of the Americans as the balance ofpower was to the safety and welfare ofEuropean nations.TO RESTORE THE GOLD RESERVE.

Resolution Introduced by Senator Shermanto Protect Our Yellow Metal.

Washington, Jan. 1. The senateheld a session Tuesday, in thecourse of which a speech by Mr.Mitchell on the restoration of the Mc-

Kinley duties on wools was listened toand a resolution was passed for the in-

vestigation by the committee on navalaffairs of the prices paid by the govern-ment for ship armor. The resolutioncontained a broad intimation thatofficers of the government were inter-ested in armor plate processes. Themost important featuro of the sessionperhaps was a resolution offered by Mr.Sherman for th restoration of the goldreserve, which hereafter should be heldsacred for tho redemption of the green-backs and treasury notes, the former tobe reissued only in exchange for goldcoin and bullion. Mr. Elkins asked forthe immediate consideration of a resolu-lutio- n

apropos of the anticipated bondissue, declaring it to be the sense of thesenate that no bonds of the UnitedStates should he sold at private sale orby private Contract, but should be disrposed of by advertisement to the highestbidder. Hill (N. Y.) objected.

Oxnsrd Has No Hope.Washington, Jan. 2. Henry Oxnard,

president of the Nebraska beet sugarcompany of that name, left for NewYork, after a careful canvass amongsenators as to the possibility of securingan amendment to the revenue bill nowin the hands of the finance committeeof the Benate. Mr. Oxnard is not san-guine that any legislation looking to abetterment of beet sugar interests couldbe enacted &t this evesios.
