nines is dull in Lincoln. Thcro in
Knvlnir It. Hut llinrn la iiiitlilfur In
(ho local situation to occasion nny nlurni,
and on tho other hand thcro is much
real encouragement to ho found in ox
Isting conditions. A Coukikh Inter
viewer was this week assured by a num
ber of merchants that they nro doing as
much business us they usually do in
August, and thoso who report a fulling
off stnto that iislightincreusowus notice
ablo in tho lust few days. In very many
cases dealers, particularly in groceries,
i meats and drugs, havo adopted u cash
basis, and whilo tho sales 'under this
system nro not quite as largo us hereto
fore, tho merchants havo tho satisfaction
of receiving thoir money when it 1b duo.
All merchant flhuvo curtuilrdcrodlts,nnd
this of course, has hud its ofTeet on tho
volume of business.
July and August uro always tho dull
est months of tho your in Lincoln, and
business is generally quieter from Aug.
1 to 25 than at uny other time. Ono
reason for this is tho absenco of students.
Business men often speak slightingly of
tho colleges and schools as factors in tho
commercial lifo of tho city, but a littlo
consideration will make it apparent that
these institutions nro of substantial
benefit. There woroprottycloso to 4,000
students from outsido of tho city in at
tendance upon tho various educational
institutions of Lincoln lust sonson, and
thoy uveruged to spond, including tui
tion, about 85 por week, mnking u total
of $20,000 por week that is brought from
outsido and spent in Lincoln. Of course
Lincoln merchants must bo greutly
benefited by this considerable expendi
ture of money. Many of tho studcntB,
particularly in tho normal colleges, do
not get away until tho latter part of
July or tho first of August, but in this
month thoy aro nearly ull awuy, and
local business men aro losers for tho t lino
being. ,
Tho stuto fair is another important
factor in opening up fall business. This
year it will open early in September, and
as tho effect of tho fair is always observ
able about ten days prior to its com
mencement, business may consequently
bo expected to recoivo an impetus about
August '25. Following tho fuir comes
tho influx of students, and tho middle
of September invariably sees business in
prime condition. This year will bo no
exception. Tho educational institutions
are recruited mainly from tho furmorB
and funning communities, and as thoso
huvo been very lightly touched by tho
business depression, thoro is no reason
to suppose that there will be uny
material falling off in tho estimated
attendance. Nearly 1,500 students aro
confidently expected at tho stuto uni
versity; the two normul colleges expect
to huvo botween them 2,500 or 3,000 stu
dents, und tho totul will bo swelled by
tho Wesloyun university, Cotnor, Union
ollego, Worthington Military academy,
the conservatory of music, tho business
college and tho numerous small schools,
But Lincoln's main dependence is on
ugriculturo, and tho crop prospects con
tinuo'oxeollont. Tho yield of corn per
acre will not bo so heavy as in some
years, but tho acreage 1b unusually
jurgo.
Whutover depression there may bo in
business in this city is very lurgoly tho
result of groundless fours and imaginary
troubles. There uro no factories with
largo numbers of employes suddenly
thrown out of employment. Building is
quiet; but there uro comparatively fow
men out ot employment; so that thoro is
no real reason why there should bo nny
particular dullness at this time. It
should bo remembered thut Lincoln's
prosperity is founded, not on this indus
try or that, but on ugriculturo, which,
broadly speaking, can be said to never
fail.
r Altogether tho outlook is very encour
aging. Within two weeks a marked im
provement will bo noticed, und Septem
ber is sure to see business grutifyingly
active.
Perhaps the chief reason for tho pres
ent lull in business in Lincoln is tho
scarcity of actual money, duo to the un
warranted withdrawal of doposlts from
the bunks for tho purposo of hoarding.
Tho people who uro hoarding their
money when it ought to bo in tho bunks
und in circulation, uro do.ng moro to re
tard business than ull other influences
combined. And nothing could bo moro
foolish than this drawing ot monoy out,
of tho bunks, where it is earning inter
est, und hiding it somewbore whero it is
not onlyunproductlve, but is liublo to bo
stolon or destroyed by tiro. Tho ImnkH
of Lincoln uro absolutely safe thut is
so long us tho people keep possession of
their senses. Tho only jHissiblo danger
which threatens tho banks Is a scare
among tho cop!o. And thcro is nothing
and can bo nothing now to warrant a
scare Every bank in tho city has
materially reduced its loans, and is
abundantly ablo to moot nny legitimate
demand, and monoy desalted in them
Is Infinitely safer than It Is stored nwny
jn an old sock, or buried in tho cellar, or
curried around in tho pockot. Nothing
would so quickly restore business in this
city to its normal condition us tho plac
ing in tho banks of tho monoy that in
now held In private receptacles. And
tho sooner depositors realize this tho
hotter it will bo for Lincoln.
"DAI8Y BELL." '
Everyone in London is cither whist
ling or singing "Daisy Bell." Tho news
papers often speak ot it us tho "musses'
national anthem." Katio Luwrcnco
sings it in about four music hulls every
night, and tho "house,'' of course, joins
in tho chorus, English fashion, lioro
is tho chorus: '

Tho subject or tho state's representa
tion at tho great fair, seems to bo still
ono of interest to tho majority, judging
from tho amount of general discussion
undndverso criticism it receives. And
tins interest was nut lessened by tho
amusing uttompt made recently by ono
of tho employes of tho Ncbrnsku build
ing on tho fuir grounds to say a word in
contradiction of thoir own recorded con
duct, und in defenso of tho commis
sioner. Tho people uro thoroughly
familiar with tho circumstances sur
rounding tho case, and tho discussion
between tho commissioner and tho
auditor ot public uccounts is still fresh
in tho minds ot ul) rcudors of tho stuto
papers, aa woll us somo outside publica
tions. Almost unanimously tho press
Bustain the auditor in tho course ho hits
pursued, and how could it bo otherwise?
Tho people felt wronged and indignant
at tho miserable expenditure ot tho
funds appropriated for the purposo of
representing tho stuto, und chnrgo ono
individual with tho reckless und whole
sale disbursement ot stuto funds for per
sonal pleasure, or at least, useless pur
poses, but tho indignation wan justly
increased, when upon visiting tho build
ing, residents ot tho stuto, because
belonging to tho class known as "tho
common pooplo,"' were trcutcd in a
manner not only ill-bred, but outrageous,
considering tho fuct that they, as tax
payers, hud contributed to tho fund thut
mudo tho oxhibit, such as it was, us woll
us tho ono thut paid the salaries ot thoso
engugod to do tho honors of tho build
ing. Truo, tho charge bus been denied,
but being brought by numbers exceed
ing many times tho ono denying it, we
must acknowledge tho old adage "somo
fire whoro thcro is so much smoke," con
tains somo truth.
vino rerorenco lo Mr. unrneau as a
"first-class commissioner with a second
class appropriation," caused a smilo to
flit across many faces. Tho w.'itor of
tho "defense" either is in ignoruneo of
tho facts, or elso forgets thut fifteen
states in tho union huvo erected build
ings and mudo exhibits out ot smaller
uppiopriutious than Nebraska, any one
of which is "a thing of bcuuty" when
computed with tho Nebraska effort, und
many of which nro especially admired
and commented upon by tho press and
people ull over tho country. No wonder
tho question arises, und gravely demands
oxplunntion, whero is the monoy? Pos
sibly to tho hiiuio ignorance or forgetful
ness may bo attributed the fault from
wlieneo arises the later ctiticism.
And then comes another question
which has been asked many times.
Why wero not tho people represented
und welcomed to their own building in
tho "Whito City" by u matron of prom
inonco? Thoro uro certuinly within our
borders many women ot long years resi
dence, wido acquaintance, and equally
in need ot tho compensation received
for servicos rendored, who would gladly
huvo accepted tho position, boon u credit
to tho state, and left with strangers a
good impression of Nebraska pooplo by
her courteous manner to ull callers. It
has been suggested that this brunch of
tho state's otTort is on a pur with tho
rest ot the commissioner's work, und
hours tho inevitable ear marks of per
sonal favoritism without consideration
of tho people to bo represented, another
chargo of the fulsity of which it would
bo hurd to convince thoso giving the
subject uny uttention. Lynn.

Tho Higinbothum opisodo is thus dis
cussed by a writer in Vogue, who is u
bit late in coming to tho front:
J'l am utterly at u loss to understund
the rjdiculo thut lias been lavished upon
Mir. fillginbothnm for having appeared
in"evenlng dross at a ceremonious, and
in' i'measurii ofncliil; luncheon parky
given ut Chicago in honor of tho Span
ish Infanta, somo few weeks ago. Al
though Mr. Hlginbotham modestly dis
claims any extensive knowledge of tho
conventional laws of society, owing to
his having spent his youth us n cowboy
on tho plains, yet according to etiquette
und usago on tno comment no was
distinctly right in appearing thus gurbed
ut tho entertainment, und those who
uro so ready to smilo ut his "break" uro
merely displaying thoir own ignoruneo
ot tho requirements und customs pf
court und olilciul lifo in tho old world.
Tho luncheon ut which tills alleged
solecism of Mr. Higinbothum took placo
was ono undeniably an olilciul function,
tendered to tho princess in her official
capacity. In fuct, it wus expressly
stipulated thut ull hospitalities offered
to and uccoptod by tho Infanta ut Chi
cago should bo regurded in thut light.
This being tho caso it was Mr. Iligin
bothum'B duty to uppcur in what tho
French would cull tho habit do grundo
ceremonio that is to say, it ho hud been
un European olilciul ho would huvo ap
peared in uniform, unless oxpressly re
quested to do otherwise by tho Infanta
or by her chamberlain. .Mr. Higin
bothum not liaving u uniform, and tho
evening dress being regurded at ull tho
European courts us tno Americun
equivalent to un olilciul uniform, Mr.
Higinbothum was just as right to array
himself therein us wus your ambassa
dor, Mr. liayurd, who, on the occasion of
tho Duke of York's wedding and ut tho
breakfast that followed at Buckingham
Place, appeared in full evening drct-s.
Moreover, I havo attended court func
tions at Vienna und Berlin which occur
ied prior to.'l o'clock in tho ufternoon,
and at which the American ciioh and
diplomatic representatives wero always
arrayed in evening dress with a whito
tie.
It is only a fow yea is sinco that the
custom has been abandoned on the con
tinenl of Europe ot making early in tho
da ceremonial social culls in evening
diess, and even to this day when uny
great uouieinan in r runeo, .ustriu or
Germany has occasion to pay sotuu
ceremonial visit, such as, for instance,
when asking tho parents ot his son's

NouiIIch, ono of tho grandest nobles in
