An Atrocious Sentiment
hix years ago, in a" conversation with
Hon. Orange Noble, Congressman Will
lain L. Scott, the noted Democratic free
trader, in speaking of the labor trouljet
of that time, said: "We can never con
trol the workingmari until he eats up to
day what he earns to morrow." Scott
carries this atrocious idea into practical
eirect in ins coai mines, lie pays lowei
1 t .
waives man anyoouy else, anil, so far as
he can do so, keeps them from earning
enough to lay by for a rainy day.
Ifp .wsnder he is a free trader. Thai
policy will cut wages down, glut the la-
or market with unemployed men, and
"tend to reduce our laboring population
to the condition of serfs. Scott is a lead
er in national Democratic politics, and is
devoting himself, heart and soul, to the
endeavor to hoodwink the people into
voting tor f leyeland and his tree trade
ideas, in the hope that through the for
cing of a free trade policy upon the
country he will realize his remark of six
years ago, and be able to "control the
workingman" by making it a necessity
for him "to eat up to-day what he earns
to-morrow." Blade.
Scott is the railroad millionaire who
handled the St. Louis convention the
right bower of Cleveland and the man
w ho more than any other one man dicta
ted the platform of the democratic party
for 1888 Can any workingman, any
wage earner, follow such leaders as this'
We believe not. The man or set of men
who advocate free trade and say '.'that
they can never control the workingmen
unless they have them in debt today for
what they will earn tomorrow," are not
fit to be trusted with the management ol
any of the affairs of the great wane cam
ing people.

Central Committee Meeting-
The Republican County Central Com
mittee met Saturday at Weeping Water.
Every precinct was represented except
South Bend, and the Second and Fourth
wards of Plattsmouth,
A very harmonious meeting was had
and great interest manifested in the suc
cess ot the Republican ticket. It was
unauimously agreed to call the county
convention for August 20th, aud primar
ies for the 18th, the county convention
being authorized to select delegates to
state and congressional conventions.
It was considered impossible to call
the county convention for the naming o
the county ticket at this time. After the
discussion of several matters porta ininir
to organization and locating the conyen
tion at W eeping v ater, the committee
adjourned.

"General Miles telegraphs from Fort
Grant as follows; 'August 2. Iudians
fired into Porter's and the camp euard

A Preacher Bleeds to Death.
Pierre, Dak., August 7. Rev. J, W.
nanperd, Indian teacher and missionary
at St. Stephens mission, who was noted
as the one who married Chaska and Miss
Fellows, was thrown from a moving ma
chine, catting off hia right hand. He
bled to death before aid arrived.
There is a deal of love killed cut or pre
vented from manifesting itself. This is true
not only among human beings, hut between
men and animals and birds, and even insects.
The state of war that is iu existence in na
ture is not by half as bad as we imagine.
The worst half is caused by our own selfish
interference. On wild islands, when first
viaited by men, it is always reported that
fowls and birds are so tamo that they permit
tho approach of any one without the idea of
fear. But this they soon lose. Tho same is
true of soals and animals that have not been
hunted. But there grows up rapidly a dread
of man, so that the scent of a huuian being
to an antelope, elk or buffalo is most abhor
rent. This becomes an inherited trait. Man,
after all, is tho great destroyer that is
dreaded in all the realms of nature. The fe
line tribes rank next to him, together with
wolves, hawks and serpenU: This is not a
pleasant fact to consider, but It id saddest of
all that it is a fact.
Nor diKJS this begin to tell tho full truth. It
is not wild animals alone that dread us, but
as a rule there is little love for us among tame
animals, the dog excepted. Tho cat has an
occasional friend, but is compelled for the
most part to live on the defensive. Some
races, like the Bedouins, live on terms of
familiarity with their horses and camels.
These exceptions show the possible friend
ship. In a Quaker barnyard I have seen such
a rule of love that every animal was a con
scious friend. It is only because of our
brutality, or indifference, that our animals
are not our lovers. Cows are by no means
"board faced creatures" when gently handled.
Trained up as pets, they become affectionate
to a degree surpassed only by dogs. I have
owned a horse that never allowed mo to ap
proach without placing her head affection
ately across my shoulder or her nose in my
bosom.
I cannot think without anger of the
slaughter of birds and aninisls for no possi
ble reason but sport. Tho birus would "take
to us" freely, if they dared; and, us it is, a
few have managed to break down prejudice.
The friendship between mankind and robins
I can hardly comprehend, for this bird is far
less valuable than some others, and is also
less beautiful. A writer in Vick's Magazine
relates how she formed a friendship with a
humming bird. "I have had one brief little
friendship with a bird during the present
summer which seems liko a- tender dream, a
fleeting glimpse into an unknown land, a
peep into fairyland." She had come upon a
tiny young humming bird that had been
chilled by a cool night, and, picking him up,
had warmed and fed hini. Ha grew so tame
that "when he was hungry he would fly
down to mo from top of a picture, and,
alighting on a tJg in my flngevs, would sit
and sip his sugar and water from a teaspoon
or tho end of my finger. These drops would
satisfy him." and then oSf he flew. "He do-
lighted to be held over a large spoonful of
soft water, and dip in his beak and splash
water over his little body."
There is no reason why this gentle accord
may not be established on all Lands. Pris
oners, as we kiow, have formed curious at
tachments for crickets and spiders, and thus
saved themselves from loss of reason during
solitary confinement. Nor, even in such
cases, is tho friendship altogether on one side.
Foxes, dogs, cats, horses, have been known
to die for grief over the death of a special
friend. I have seen manifestations of in
tense grief in several cases. Tho cat is capa
ble of peculiarly strong attachments. I have
known one to be inconsolable for many
weeks after the departure of a boy to whom
he specially devoted himself.
Natural antipathies form the other side of
this question and the illustrations are all
about. A stray dog came to my place last
summer. Ho laid himself flat on his belly as
I approached, only moving his eyes with the
most intent watchfulness. J drew nearer,
not a motion, but be drew still flatter to the
soiL He was offering his services. Would
I accept hjra? He was a beautiful cross of
shepherd and hunter. I said, "Yes, you
may stay." Ho knew in a moment the pur
port of my words. Leaping up, he came
with eyes full of gladness and took my scent,
and at once was a member of my household.
But tho friendship was ever first of all for
myself.
Now came the question of cat and dec. cr
I had a splendid cat that had had no das?
i about to annoy tins. Here was the natural
antagonism or the leilne and canine races.
But "Shep" understood perfectly that he was
an adopted resident, and must not crowd his
acquaintance. They could not become quite
friends, but learned to tolerate each other.
What is this natural antipathy? Traced far
enough back, the ancestry of tho feline? and
canines oome put of a coinrnqn stock.' But
these terrible clawing creatures have been
outlaws from time immemorial. To bite is
allowable in the animal code; but to scratch,
that is aii innovation and indecent;. We hare
pqdes that allow builiss to pound and kick,
but they must not scratch. It i3 easy to im
agine how the first that took to using their
nails were driven out of the tribe. I believe
the genuino ancestry to bo canine; the feline
is a spurious offshoot.
There are intense hatreds, as we well knevf,
between birdj. Jfot one of them will f pirn'
an alliance with the English sparrow. So far
as I have observed tho blackbird has no
friends and does not care for any. He works
in troops, steals in companies, and has his
bill against all other sorts of birds, and ia 12-
tested in turn. An. owl is a lonely creature,
pidy that it is said occasionally to make a pet
of a snake instead or eating it, which I doubt.
The friendship is probably like that of prai
rie dogs and rattlesnakes an invasion, of
snakes that can not pa prevented. The owl
may not be atu to digest some of his saurian
acquaintances. As a rule there is some one.
or two, members of a household, that had
better let the domestic cat alono sometimes
also the dog or dogs. Why these are not
liked by the animals I do not know, unless it
be something in the scent Horses have

After IlurluL
ft was not till tho lost year of the last cen
tury that the first mammoth was disen
tombed from the tundra, to tho complete
demolition of giants and antiquaries, and the
profound delight of scientific inquirers. In
liM, at the very moment when a rash young
man of tho name of Bonaparte was upsetting
tho Directory and making himself iiKontH
nently into a first consul, the jeoplo of Sibe
ria were quietly rejoicing in the rare and un
expected luxury of a warm summer. In the
course of this unexpected climatic debnurh a
Tungusian fisherman iu tho bena district
went out one day hunting for mammoth
tusks, and was surprised to (lnd instead a
whole mammoth stii-king Qut f ibly from a

rather in awe of mummolhs; iliey are re
garded as in some sort antediluvian, and
therefore uiic.iiiny monsters, and the fisher
man accordingly said nothing of his find to
any man anywhere, but locked up the secret
profoundly in hi own bosom.
Xext year, however, ho went again stealth
ily to visit the suspicious creature, and tho
year after that ho visited it a third time, and
so on, until the mammoth was at la.st
fairly thawed out, atid fell on tlio saiidhunk
by the shore of tho Arctic ocean. Then tho
fisherman, seeing the monster was really

the tusks, which he straightway sold, on
business bent, for lifty roubles to o ltussian
merchant. As to the body itself, ho t.hnn -lit-.

As an evidence of his business sense I may
say that he foresaw tho tight times of lsT3
nearly a year before the "banks suspended
specio payments and prepared for thorn by
hoarding every dollar of currency that he
could get hold of. He kept this currency in
his tin boxes in the vaults of a safe deposit
company, and when the suspension came he
had $173,000 in eash on hand. The advan
tages this gave hirn were great. On one oc
casion a prominent naner ni.iniiff.ffnrr
came to him and wanted to sell him some
pajer at very low figures.
"What are j-our best rates for a million

"A million pounds?" queried the manufac

"Thn after "a niental calculation he an

money is tight and the amount you want is
a large one, I will let you have it for six

"What time will you give me?" was. ILe
young man's next question.
"Well, two or tluee months," was tLe
reply.
"Oh, that isn't enough," said McLean.
"Money is scarce and hard to get. I must
have six months at least."
This was finally acceded to and a contract
was made immediately. Hardly was it
signed when McLean turned to the manu
facturer and asked: "Now, what discount

Tho reptile fund so called ltecauso of
Prince Bismarck's own phrase cousikLs of
tho confiscated fortune of the king of Han
over, together with an unknown grant from
tho war indemnity. Speaking of the at
tacks made upon tho government by
the press, tho chancellor exclaimed on
a memorable occasion that us his ad
ministration was so exposed to malig
nant misrepresentations at tho hands of its
adversaries, ho did not think it tolerable that
he should tie left unarmed against so power
ful and so unscrupulous a foe. "I must have
moans," ho said, "with which to hunt those
reptiles to their holes and destroy them
thero." Ileuco tho so called reptile fund,
which i.i simply an iudeflnito amount of
secret service money at tho disposal of
fi inco Bismarck for controlling the press.
With its ai.l ho is said to havo organized a
news service for tho benefit of tho German
government, tho like of which exists no
where outsido of tho pages of tho French
novels which describe tho spy system of
Foucho. At its head stands Hei r Holstein,
tho umo durnnee of Prince Bismarck, who
has at his command a disciplined host of con
fidential reporters, who enablo him to follow
unseen the movements of all his adversaries.
The f ' ;. r :; - r ;r ; ; f. ,.,
no matter how iusiijiiMuD.
At tho chancellery of tho secret intelli
gence bureau at Berlin, under Herr Holstein,
aro kept the dossiers of every manor woman
whom from time to timo it thinks necessary
to Prince Bismarck to watch with a view to
ulterior developments. Tho minuteness of
tho information thus stored up for future
use is very extraordinary, and suggests
many uncomfortablo reflections. A friend
ot mine resident in Oermany onco had an
opportunity of seeing his own dossier. There
in ho found set down all particulars of him
self and his family and his relations. A list
was given of all tho peoplo whom ho was in
the habit of receiving, und a detailed report
of all tho correspondents to whom he was in
habit of writing. To this man, it was written,
ho sends letters every week, to tho other
every da-, to a third ho writes sometimes
twiw u week, aud then ceases to writo for a
week or a month.
But the possession of an indefinite amount
of secret service money for purposes of cor
ruption, and tho accumulation from all the
unseen channels of ubiquitous secret police of
a vast reservoir of information for uso if re
quired, aro by no moans tho only instruments
by which Frince Bismarck keeps his press in
good order. "How is it done?" exclaimed r
witty victim of the chancellor's surveillance.
"It is very simple. Some fine day all the
editors of Berlin are summoned to tho office
of tho oracle. They aro told that tho govern
ment; is in possession of such and sv,ch nn
important piece of information w hich is com
municated to them, not for publication, but
in convl?neo, in order that when tho oppor
tune moment arrives they may Lo well in

blind horse, and before very long one or other
of the editors discovers in sojuo mysterious
way that the time has arrived when the cat
must be Jet o,ut of tho bag. He lets it out ac
cordingly, and all his brethern follow suit
and the news, true or false, in launched in
duo form."
"But what," I asked, "if an editor refuses
to tako the hint and obstinately abstains
from circulating tho official communinue?"
Then," was the reply, "it does not tro well
with that exceptional newspaper. Misfort
unes always attend the journal which is fool
hardly enough to ignore a hint from aKvo."
"What kind of misfortunes?" "Oh. all kinds
of misfortune. Dor-man t lawsuits mvsteri-

mania, they will love a lord, even as Tom
did. The visiting lord will always be their
golden calf sometimes not even golden.
American girls will marry him, and, of
course, if he is a nice, jolly, talkative fellow,
as he generally is, every one will be pleased.
But it doesn't always stop there American
girls will still marry him if he is a common,
ruffian, as much of an outlaw in his owu
country as though h had forged a check or
robbed a church. There's the trouble; wo
exercise no discrimination. For example,
there was Sir Richard Sutton and the Duke3
of Marlborough and Sutherland. Sir Rich
ard was a gentleman in the fullest sense of
the word, and by his stately bonhomie and
gracious courtesy amply atoned for Mr.
Ashbury's unpleasantness ovex tne Cambria
aud Livonia races years ago. And yet Sir
Richard was not as much sought after, was
not as highly honored by fete and festival,
as either of the dukes. Surely some one
should discriminate between such men.
