Priming:.
No paper willbe discontinued until arrearages

Papers sent out ofthecounty must be paid for
in advance.
Lynching may once have been a
disease, hut it is rapidly becoming
a habit.
Well, everybody will now con
cede that G rover is the greatest
ex-President in the country.
Why doesn't some real enterpris
ing editor invite Boni to come over
and edit his paper for a week.
Boni might be glad of the money.
The Democrats are declaring how
much they admire General Harri
son. Times have changed since
the old days of the so-called force
bill.
Poor "antis". The Philippines
are so quiet that they can't find
anything to grumble over, and even
Cuba seems about to accept the
protection offered to her and be
good.
Why not extend that "Cabinet
on Wheels" idea by shipping Con
gress to the Philippines in a big
steamer that will allow speechmak
ing togo on en route?
China has declined to yield Man
churia to Russia. Now we shall
see whether Adamzad wants that
country badly enough to fight for
.t.
Bryan will only bring himself in
to greater contempt than ever by
such attacks as his latest on Mr.
Cleveland. To offer an ex-Presi
dent of the l T nited States S"> for an
article may be funny in Nebraska
but it is ridiculous elsewhere.
m .
Milkmen in many parts of the
country have taken a hint from
the footpads, and have adopted
rubber boots so as not to disturb
their customers unnecessarily.
They are also a protection from
water.
It is reported that the President
did not know that Representative
Rodenburg had voted to starve out
the civil service commission only a
year ago, when he appointed hitu
to a post on it. It is possible that
the appointment may be revoked.
Secretory Root may goto Manila
his summer in order to study the
conditions there for himself. No
written or verbal report can take
place of personajl investigation
1 it is to be hoped that the Sec
retary's plan will not be allowed to
fall through.
The Philippine Information So
ciety, and "anti''association, after
careful investigation has admitted
publicly that the war in the Phil
ippines was started by tin; natives.
Its members haven't apologized for
past falsehoods on the subject, how
ever.
Educational tests are things that
two people can play at. How
would the Democrats like it if the
Republicans should adopt the
Maryland qualification in New
York,disfranchising about one-half
of Tammany's foreign support in
the greater city?
Great Britian's reasons for refus
ing to accept the 1 lay-Poncefore
treaty as amended, strike us as be
ing merely a variation of the old
bargaining customs that won her
the title of a nation of shopkeepers.
She wants to know what we'll give
to boot. Possibly, she will find
out.
