What is this Denver Commercial
Congress that meets in that city
May 19th? To a man this distance

been any benefits derived therefrom
we are unable to hear of it.
The Chicago &. North-western has
discharged all of its union switch
men over the entire S3rstem, and the
work for the present is being large

manager says that they are not op

The New York Tribune commends
the decision of the supreme court
in the Thayer-Boyd quo warranto
ca?e as based on common sense,
saying that in this country there is
no short cut or round about twist
to citizenship and that there ought
not to be. An alien should qualify
himself as the law directs. -
It scouts the idea that congress
intended to amend the naturaliza
tion laws in the enabling act ad
mitting Nebraska to the Union. It
says what is admitted by everybody
in this state, that "it is not pre
tended that Mr. Boyd has acted
toward t4ie people of Nebraska in
bad faith but claims that he was
negligent in a matter where vigil
ance was essential."
Kansas is handed the cake by
common consent. She has a convict
in her penitentiary who sucessfully
raised a bank draft from .1 to $20,000
and got it cashed and then forged
his own pardon from the federal
authorities on letter heads printed
by his procurauce, similar to the
official paper, and the pardon was
received as genuine.
Had not this sharp practicer over
done the matter he would have es
caped with his liberty and the
money. But he accompanied the
pardon with a forged order for re
lease, which was a superfluous
flourish and was ho extraordinary
that the warden of the penitentiary
wrote to Washington for an expla
nation. The answer exposed the
ingenious plot. The convict was a
colored man who had considerable
talent as a clerk and was employed
by the warden in that capacity.

and practical sense of the speeches

A day or two ao, a few minutes be
fore the opening of the board of trade,
there utepped into one of the elevators in
the building a well known commission
man and a country customer. The coun
tryman was a young, fresli faced, nn
Bophisticated looking chap, who was in
Chicago for the first time looking after a
conple of cars of wheat that he had
chipped in. As the elevator rose he casu
ally remarked to the commission man:
"I was married last night, and this is a
sort of a bridal trip."
Congratulations were extended by the
commission man as they stepped out into
the hall leading to the exchange. Among
the others who rode up in the elevator
was a certain blonde young man whose
love for a practical joke has made him
rather famous on the floor, lie had
chanced to stand back to back with the
young countryman, had overheard the

Of President Warner Miller he says:
"Senator Miller went through an

while he was with us that was
marvelous for so large and heavy a
man. The Greytown people said to
me, when we started out on foot,
that they did not see what I could
do with him if he broke down, as he
was too big to carry in the forests.
But I told them he was not the kind
of a man to break down, and I was
right about it. He tramped over
thirty-five miles on foot without
showing any more signs of fatigue
than any of the rest of us who were
used to it.
WHAT WOULD A YANKEE TAR DO?
While it was. no doubt, a dis
courteous act on the part of the com
mander of the steamer Itata to
steam out of the harber at ban
Dieiro while under seizure ot our
government, wc are inclined to be
lieve that the people of the United
States would entertain an exceed
ingly poor opinion of the enter
prise of Chilian naval officers if any
other course had been followed.
Transpose the conditions, and con
sider what would be expected of a
United States naval officer if, when
a war was going on in this country,
and his vessel was loaded with sup
plies which his countrymen de
sired, and a foreign government,
ordering him not to leave its port,
put but one official onboard to hold
the vessel in arrest? If, under these
circumstances, a United States com
manding officer did not take advan
tage of his opportunities, he'jwould
be generally condemned by his
fellow-countrymen, and would be
dismissed from the service, if, in
deed, a much harder punishment
was not meted out to him. Boston

The Nebraska Insurance Co. of
Omaha has been wound up by the
appointment of W. G. Albright as
receiver. W. G. Madden of Des
Moines purchased a third interest
n the company recently and was
elected its vice-president. The in
stitution was supposed to be
making money, as it had a paid up
capitai of ?100,000. The only expla
nation afforded at this time is the
one offered by Mr. Madden, which
is as follows:
"Auditor Benton has not given us
i fair deal. On January 1 he in
spected the affairs of the company
uad certified that it had complied
with all the requirements of the
aw; that it had its $100,000 of secur
ities on deposit and was in good
condition. Shortly after I bought
into the company he made another
trip to Omaha, and upon his return
lome we were notiheu that our se
curities were not sufficient, though
they had in no wise depreciated
since January.
'We paid but little attention to
this. A few days later one of our
friends informed us that Benton in
tended makingthe company trouble.
I took no stock in the report, as I
could see no way by which we could
be injured.
"A few days ago a man came
from Benton's office to take charge
of the books and accounts at $10 per
day. I then discovered that he had
it in for us, and I at once made ap

Nothing tries the quality and char
acter of a. man more unsparingly
than the making of three or four
offhand speeches every day that
shall satisfy expectation without
repeating the good things said
elsewhere. President Harrison has
proved himself aready man, a full
man, and one of great mental re
sources, so that the croakers and
gibers who sharpened their pencils
to make merry over his "junket ing
trip" have been forced to admire
the fcrtil ity and power of the man.
. One of the longest of his speeches
was that made in Omaha Wednes
day in which he sounded the
praises of the corn growing states
Having seen all the beauty and the
luxuriance of our semi-tropical sec
tions south and west, examined the
industrial centers, and surveyed the
mining regions, understanding and
delighting in the marvelous re
sources and enterprises and pur
suits that employ to happiness and
prosperity the intelligence and
brawn of our people, he returned to
the land of the cornstalk with in
creased affection and believing that
"the states that ' raise corn are the
greatest states in the world."
This was the first declaration
made by President Harrison upon
which the quidnuncs may leap
with triumphant brays. Thisdecla
ration, however, is the recognition
of a fact that is incontrovertible,
corn being a more important staple
than wheat itself in the providence
and economy of nature. The corn
growing states are in reality tne
most powerful in the Union, the
conditions that make a good corn
raising soil being precisely those
that make the best general agricul
tural and man developing locali
ties. The latitudes where corn
flourishes are most favorable to the
substantial prosperity of a strong,
self-reliant, active, and aggressive
people. The most populous, the
richest, and the most representative
states of our Union are the corn
states. There is sound science in
President Harrison's eulogy of the
corn states, and when it is appreci
ated more attention will be given to
building up a home market for all
the products of these states. Inter

PARTIES IN ENGLAND.
In view of the probable dissolution
of Parliament a glance at parties in
England will be interesting.
The Parliament of 18GS was elected
on issuses relating to the settle
ment of the Irish church question,
and the session of 1SG9 and 1S70
were devoted almost exclusively to
Ireland. In that Parliament the
Liberals had a majority of 113. The
Parliament passed the Irish church
and Irish land acts. In trying to
pass a bill on the question of educa
tion Mr. Gladstone was defeated
and Mr. Disraehl invited to take of
fice. He dissolved Parliament in
1871 and was re-elected again, going
out of office on the Irish question
in iu. ine iiouse oi commons

Liberals, 239 Conservatives, and GO
Home Rulers. In 18S1 Mr. Glad
stone, containing his remedial
legislation, passed another land
act the. Ireland, and having made
the Irish policy a material part of
the government measures, he ap
pealed to the country in 1SS5. He
demanded a decisive majority, or
one, to use his own words, which
would make him independent of
both Tories and Parnellites com
bined. He returned to power with
a reduced following, the numbers
being Liberals 270, Tories 310,
Parnellites 83 thus securing a ma
jority of 45 in a full house. Making
his friend, and as they stepped from the
elevator he managed to get a good look
at Mr. Younghusband,
An uour or so later, wnen he natl a
few moments to himself, he stepped over
to the telegraph counter and wrote upon
a blank: "I have bet $100 to $10 that
you were but recently married. Do I
win my bet?" This he folded and placed
in an envelope, and, calling a messenger
boy, pointed out Mr. Younghusband,
and bade him deliver the message.
lie told a few of his cronies on the
floor what he had done, and the young
countryman was watched with consider
able interest by a dozen or twenty trad
ers in various parts of the crowd. lie
received the message from the boy with
a half doubting look, opened it slowly.
and as he comprehended its contents his
face was dyed a deep crimson, while a
foolish smile lifted the corners of his
mouth.
He looked about him sheepishly to 6ee
if he could discover the author of the
message and then beat a rather precipi
tous retreat. Lie failed to put in an ap
pearance again that day. Subsequently
the author of the note asked the young
man's broker if he had eaid anything
about it.
"Yes, he did. And he was the most
surprised man you ever saw. lie could
not imagine where the note came from.
and when he said good by to me he ob
served: 'Dick, these board of trade fel
lows are too all fired smart for me. I

they are all mind readers, as some of
them seem to be.' And ho went home

A City Fonr-o'Clock.
"It is just 4 o'clock," remarked a gen
tleman who was standing on the steps of
the Astor House.
"No, it is not," said a friend who stood
there with him looking at a watch. "My
watch makes it a quarter af ier 4, and 1
only had it set yesterday."
A bet was made between the two
friends as to what the hour was. "1
know it's just 4 o'clock, because here is
Dr. Norvin Green, the president of the
Western Union Telegraph company, and
ho always erets here at 4 o'clock to the
minute," 6aid the first speaker.
An investigation as to the hour was
made and it was found that it was just
exactly 4 o'clock, as any one who is
acquainted with the movements of Dr.
Green would certainly have known, if
he is well or in the city he very seldom
deviates a minute in the time that he
reaches the Astor House. He always
leaves his office in the Western Union
Building at 3:55 o'clock p. m. and strolls
leisurely up to the Astor House.
The regularity with which he reaches
this place every day has become a hobby
with him and he prides himself upon it.
He says that all his movements have the
same clock-like precision as does his
appearance at the hotel. He is so sure
that he will never be much out of the
way that he has an understanding with
a number of people who frequent the
Astor House that they can always expect
him to treat if he is vver five minutes
out of the way in his ai rival, unless he
should be sick or out of town or on days
when there is a directors' meeting of the
Western Union. New York Recorder.

Whistled to Death.
It is alleged that for a generation the
people of Alexandria, Va., have been
afflicted with the whistling distemper.
It has often puzzled the good people of
Alexandria to know why General Albert
Pike changed his place of residence from
this place to Washington a few years
ago. His residence at the corner of
Cameron and St. Asaph streets was one
of the nicest in this town. He had his
magnificent library there, and when a
few years ago he announced that he had
determined to remove to Washington
many were the conjectures as to the
caose of the move, and many were the
causes assigned.
Only a few days before his death the
matter was cleared up. In a conversa
tion with a gentleman from this city the
general was asked why he had left this
city for Washington, and his reply was
because "the Alexandria people whistle
too much." Cor. Richmond Dispatch.

A Bit of Advice.
At a big shooting party in England

one of the guests. One of the party who
had not succeeded in making himself
home rule a government bill in 18S0 very popular said to him on the morning
he was thrown out of office in June

followed the Tories were returned
with a restored following, the num,
bers being 313 Conservative, 1S9
Gladstonian-Liberals, 81 Liberal
Unionists, and 8G Parnellites. The
Irish question is still unsettled, and
speaking frankly, the prospects of
settlement are lesH favorable now
than they were inlSGS. and probably
a home-rule bill would be rejected
by a far greater majority than 54,
which secured its rejection when
