Thkrk is a movoniont on foot in tlito
city to provide a now list of subjects for
tho distinguished humorist who con
ducts tho department in tho News
known as "Portincnt Topics.'' It is also
tho intention ot thoao intorcHtcd in tho
movoniont to throw in a llttlo originality
with the assortment Of noWBubjocts that
will bo presented to tho JS'cira' humorist.
And then ho will probably bo given a
supply of real humor. With this aa

THE MESHAOK.
President Cleveland, v his inessago to
congress, wont clear around tho world
and touched at nearly ovory port.
Ho looks in on Chilo, Brazil, Costa
Rica, Franco, Great Britain, Liberia,
Nicarauguu, Guatemala, Norway, Rus
sia, Gormuny, Samoa, Spain and Hawaii.
Mr. Cleveland makes evident bin in
tentlon to placo Lllluokulaui upon her
throuo in Hawaii, but ho doesn't suy
anything about re-establishing any more
monarchies, and tho countries mentioned
abovo thut aro without a king or queen
will doubtless rest in security, at least
until tho president has finished his job
in Hawaii.
Mr, Gloveland ulso gives some atten
tion to homo affaire. Ho points out by
tho use ot figures how tho country has
beon going to tho demuition bowwows
since ho got hold ot tho reins of govern
ment.
Ho shows tho discrepancy between
the rccoipta ot tho government and Its
expenditures.
Ho points to the national banks, and
tells us that 'during the year forty-six
wont into voluntury liquidation, and 153
suspended.
And then tho president tackles tho
tariff. Ho shows to tho country that l.e
Ib not uniniudtul ot tho effect ot tho
"object lesson," and notwithstanding
the ilory, unturned utterance ot tho Chi
cago plutform, ho goes clour buck on tho
proposition thut protection is unconsti
tutional. Ho does not forgot tho empty fur
nuces, silent spindles and closed fac
tories, and he does not counsel tho over
throw ot protection. All ho advocates
is "reform." Considering tho fuct thut
he was elected president on tho isbuo ot
a tariff for rovenue only vs. protection to
American industry, he is remarkably
mild. His customary audacity is ul to
gether lacking.
Mr. Cleveland's message, depicting
the almost unprecedented depression hi
business following the political revolu
tion In 1808, and counseling in the mild
at manner "tariff reform' instead of a
radical "tariff for levenuo only," la n
ationg endowment lif the policy ho
ailiMualely i ('presented by that brilliant
republican and rlslngst'dcsman, William,
McKlnley, tho gentleman, who recently
received hiiuIi a IiiiihIhoiiio testimonial
f i otn tho voteniof Ohio.
Auotn' t o only thing In Lincoln Hint
hasn't felt tho effect of tho general bus!
iioph depression lit the illvnrcomlll ai (lie
county court house. It's a nip anil tuck
race butween the (Icciith of di voice and
marriage llcensen In tliln county, and tho
jmlgPH ato kept busy undoing the work
of tho mliilriteiu. "What God hath
joined together let no man butst
nmindcr," Hounds will; lint it doesn't go
with tho judges in this dlntrlcl.
LINCOLN AMI II A It It TIM IN,
Faith in Lincoln must necessarily bo
liiteuslllcd when It Ih considered what
an (iiioriuiiiiH strain tho city Iiiih been
laboring under the past six months,
and how well tho city Iiiih ytood the
strain.
Tin: Cfiuiiii:ii IiihI week Htuted, and
gave conclusive evidence in support
ot thu statement, Unit considerably more
than $1,000 a day goen out of Lincoln to
pay intrest on nioilgngcH and bonds
hold In the east. .Homo llttlo attention
wuh attracted by this showing, and one
coutemiorary in referring to the huiuo
seemed to find iih tho most Hlgnillcaut
fact in thin connection, Lincoln's de
pendence on tho east.
Hut thoro Ih a much more important
fact made evident by thin showing,
namely, that Lincoln Ih in u remarkably
healthy condition to be able to stand
tlm presBUro to which tho city Iiiih been
subjected since tho llrst of last June.
Prior to that date, iih wo hnvo pio
vloimly Hinted, much mure money came
into Lincoln In the form of new loans hi
a given period than went out in tho why
ot Interest. Hut since .Iinin 1 prncti.
cully no money htm cniuo Into tho city,
and nearly if not unite a quiuter of a
million dollars hae gone out In just one
form, and that too in a period when
business of every kind Iiiih been at a
standstill. There Iiiih been no money
undo during this time; but the 81,000
and over a day, ban been sent east just
tho same, and while people have been
and aro pressed for money, business em
biirrasHiueutH have boon remarkably few.
HuhIiiobh men in this city have been
called upon to meet very heavy obllga
tioiiH at homo and abroad, and it Ih a
fact that (hero Ih less debt now than at
any time for a number ot years.
All thiugB considered Lincoln has
made a most creditable showing in tho
last six months. It has beon made
apparent that there is something solid
und substantial back of Lincoln'flgrowth,
something thut can be depended on in
tho time of adversity. Had Lincoln
boon dlstiuctivly u manufacturing city,
tho hard times would havo worked u
much greater hardship on tho people.
As it is thoro have been no big plants
to close down on a momont'H notice
throwing two or tlueo thousand men
out of employemont. Tho' smaller
concerns have not made any material
reductions, the jobbing business has
suffered but llttlo, and Lincoln Iiiih mot
tho storm with a bravo front, and como
out of it with coloiB Hying.
Lincoln, most favorably situated In u
grout agricultural country, Iiiih the
most solid foundation in the world.
Tho basis of this town's prositorlty,
and the assurance of its future develop
ment, may bo found in tho hogs und
corn that como from Nebraska farms,
und other liko products, moro valuable
than gold or silver. Theso things huvo
built up Omaha and Lincoln und Ne
braska, und given solidity to tho busi
ness interests ot the state, mid will
make this town, tho natural focus and
distributing point for tho stato's market
able products, ono of thu most solid and
piosporous cities in tho country.
Agriculture is conceded to bo tho ono
Hiiro foundation ot prosperity, and tho
fertility ot Nebraska's soil Ib nu lmprcg
nablo safeguard from tho evils that must
now und then afflict communities thut
depend on mining, or manufacturing or
somo other cause for their existence.
Hero in Lincoln wo huvo ngriculturo
to begin with, und uro rapidly securing
u wholesale business und manufacturing
industries that uro milking this town u
most iui'iortiint commercial center.
Tiik JVetcs continues to manifest com
mendable zcnl in tho movement for
lower tuxes, und if tho other papers will
take tho mutter up, und ull pull together
it is io8siblo thut important results may
bo realized. Tho taxes in this city uro
unmercifully bight and the Improvements
uro not notably excellent. A very lurgo
portion ot tho money is absolutely
thrown away in useless extravagance,
and ut a time when privuto business
is being rigidly overhauled and put on
an econmical basis, it is altogether
fitting that somo ot tho fancy and
expensive frills in tho cityes business
affairs should bo lopped of. No man
should bo elected to ho city council
next spring who will not plcdgo himself
to u policy ot low tuxutiou.
Thkkk is no question but that tho
sontimont among tho heaviest taxpayers
of tho city is fuvorublo to tho "dismissal
ot the romuiuing usylum cases. Tho
best legul tulont ot tho city has declared
thut iu no instance would a conviction
result, and it, us it uppeurs, tho only
reason for further prosecuting tho cusea
Ih for buncombe only, It Ih time that the
fin co were stopped, It may he fun for
some pcnplo; but to tho citizens who
have to pay tho taxes It Ih decidedly
tiresome. Tho county Iiiih already In
curred nu expense of over ?0,000, with
absolutely nothing to show for It. In
a law suit iih In everything else it Ih a
pretty good Idea to havo somo slight
insurance of hucccsh before you go
ahead. In the asylum cases tho result
Ih ii foregone conclusion, and Mr. Wood
wind might an well quit. Tho county"
attorney Is given credit for making nu
earnest effort to convict ,in tho eases
ahrady tried, and theso ciikch were te
g, tided iih tho strongest of tho lot in
favor of the prosecution. Where then
la the use of pioceedlng nny further In
tlu fnrclyial undertaking?
It is about time now for somebody to
stale that nil that Ih the 'natter witli
tho country is a want of conlldeuce.
