WK IX) not hear any democratic i-ongressman saying anything about repealing the McKinley tarill law. They seem to have forgotten all about such a law since the elec tion. WiiBN McKeighan was accused of getting drunk, he said he only drank red-eye for his brain and if it was good fur such men as Henry Jackson or Carlisle it ought to be good for him. An exchange says, "ocean cables stretch imitfO miles." That is nothing compared with the cala mity orators stretched the truth when talking about the McKinley bill. Beatrice times.

TllK Union l'acific railroad has closed a contract whereby it will carry all of the oranges from the Pacific coast to the east. The amount this year is estimated to be between 4,000 and 5,01 W cars.

Kditok Sherman of the I'latts inouth Journal, that true blood deni ocrat and inevitable delegate, has repudiated J. Sterling Morton and will never say good word for him again. The editor is bourbon and as bitter as gall. Nebraska City Press. No Brother Sherman is only opposed to Morton because he is afraid Morton will interfere with Shermans pet Bryan's schemes Whenever Morton comes up for office in the democratic party no inatter what he has done, Sherman will come around and be his strong est supporter, he always gets in line under the party lash. Tun chaplain "of the Colorado house of representatives, gives rather a practical turn to this sup. plications. The following prayer from his lips caused an uproar that shook the buildings. "We shall pray especially for the majority of this house. We hope that they will be better than the last legislature or else that they may not have a majority of one, We hti told to pray for our enemies, and we do so, so far as they need our prayers, and we hope all party lines may be coverd up; and we pray for the pop ulists and the democrats, and we hope that they will be resigned to their fate. We thank God for al lowing us to live in this glorious country, and we hope now that all the oflices are filed there will be harmoney. May God bless us all."

There lias lucn a ood deal, both written and said about our country roads so we have taken no little pains to look the matter up and we agree with the masses of the peo ple that it is high time some per manent system was adopted foi the improvement of the roads. We find that Cass county alone spends over f'JO.lHiO a year upon her roads and work is ony temporary and has to be done over each year and the state of Nebraska has spent during the past ten yenrs in so called road building nearly JlOJOtlO,. 000. The money has in the greater part been wasted by pilng mud on top of mud, "fill up chuck holes" that the next heavy rain made as bail as ever. The first requisite to a good road is good drainage. Given that a road can be passable, except in very bad weather. Where gravel ift used, we find it is better than dirt as a roadbed, and vitrified brick or broken stones is a good substitute. Gravel it is said is very plentiful in Nebraska arid as vitri fied brick can be made almost any where it should be used where the gravel could not be had. It is said by those who have made a study that the loss to the farmers of the United Slates by chronically bad roads was one thousand millions of dollars a year and the following is the way this enormous amount is reached; The quality of goods train-ported by rail anil water through the United States is equal to (00,000,000 tons; these figures are indisput able, being taken from the returns of the transportation companies. But every ton of this vast aggre gate has to be hauled to the rail waysor to the docks of the vessels by which it is carried for long dis tances; horses and wagons haul all of it for a greater or less distance. Leaving out the haulage from fac tories in cities and from mines near to railways or docks, through much of the latter is done by farm- ru who "fli-h ti lUlla l,f.i. I ...l... ...... I l unit linilllll IlH l yy I7t I 1 crops," and a safe estimate leaves 300,000,000 tons of farm products to be carried a greater or less distance over country roads. It costs the farmer about 2' cents a mile to haul over ordinary dirt roads one ton of grain or other material. A railway carries it at less than one fourth of a cent. The farmer never can haul so cheeply as a railway can, but he can reduce his average cost of 23 cents to about 6 cents. By actual experiment it is found that a team will haul 1:8 percent more weight on a gravel road than on a good dirt road, and 'M) per cent more than a dirt road that is not in first class condition. On a macadamized road a team will haul 300 per cent more freight than on a good dirt road. These are not conjectural estimates; they are fig ures determined by tests. Far beyond the tarilT, beyond the silver question, beyond the rate of interest question, beyond the rail way freight question, beyond any other question, the pood road ques tion is of importance to the pockets of the the farming community. Bad roads occasion a yearly waste of money that is ten and a half times as great combine revenues of tariffs and direct taxes levied by the na tional administration. "TllK biggest little city in the country," is what an adopted citi zen of New Orleans calls that town With but little more than a quarter of a million inhabitants, the Cres cent city has most of the features of a true capital and metropolis. It is among the few towns in our country that can be compared with New York in respect of their me tropolitan qualifications, but New Orleans leads all the rest, though in population it is small beside any of .the others. It has an old and ex clusive society, whose claims would be acknowledged in any of our cities. It supports grand opera, its clubs are fully what the term im plies, and not mere empty club houses. It has theatres and public and church buildings. The joya of the table, which Chesterfield ranked first among the dissipations of in telectual men, are provided not only in many fine restaurants and in the club, but in a multitudes of homes. No city has finer markets. Its com merce is with all the world, and its population is cosmopolitan, with all whiwh a long continuance of thos ro-liii-Mis implies. , Like the vr.- divi- WOMEN OF IRRITABLE TEMPER. It is like living in a den id mar ling animrls to live with a person who has this sort of.temper, writes Klla Wilcox in an artical on "The Destroyers of Domestic ISdens," in the Feburary I.adie's Home Jour nal. Many an Kden is destroyed by it, while the possessor prides him self upon being a good christian, and doing his whole duty by his family. Yet, if the soup lacks a little salt, or contains a little too much pepper, if a meal is a moment delayed, if a child is noisy in its mirth, if a drawer sticks, or a door slams, or a chaircreaks, each trille calls forth an exhibition of disa greeable temper, which ruins the comfort and peace of the house hold for an hour. Many a woman is addicted to this sort of temper, and calls it "her nerves," and con siders herself the most devoted wife and mother in the world. Yet if she is obliged to delay her din ner for any member of the family, if she is called from one task to per form another, if the children scat ter their playthings, or leave their school books in the parlor, she indulges in puch petulant scolding that a gloom settles over the whole household. She would consider it no difficult thing to die for that household, if it were de manded of her. But to controle her irritrble temper is a task too great to demand of her. And so the Kden is distroyed, and the children grow up eager to get out of the home where everything is uncom fortable, and the parents wonder why all their sacrifices are so poor ly appreciated, why their children for whom they have toiled and saved, seem to care, so little about their home, and why they seem so anxious to seek pleasures elsewhere. PROTECTION ON THE SEA. Lewis Cass, a veteran democrat, said in the United States senate in 1352, in advocating government aid to the Collins line, which was not granted, much to the joy of the Cundarders: "well, sir, it is a ques tion of protection of high and im portant and holy protection, in the best sense of the termthe protec tion of our country, of our expat riated seamen, of our commerce, of our interests, of our honor, of our soil, of all that gives dignity and character to nations, protection against defeat, disgrace and dis honor on the sea. This kind of pro tection to our commerce is as effec tual as the protection afforded by expensive naval armaments." THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD. During the reign and rule of dem ocratic free trade for leu years prior to the war the United States lost over $l(X),OX),O0O in gold to Kurope. Nothing but the immense amount of gold dug from the mines of California saved the nation from financial ruin at that time. The fol lowing is the record showing the excess of exports of specie: 11 $24,019,249 IS"'-' 37,109,091 23,281,493 18"4 34,345,152 52,587,531 I 41.537,853 1W7 5M75,123 l :iU58,()51 1H59 59,452,022 ism -u'smm Total. $417,423,879 EXACTLY SO. Ti e eminent merchant of New York City, Cornelius N. Bliss, speaking of the tariff says: "I do not regard the verdict at the polls last November as settling the ques tion. A good manypeopl . evident ly thought they would like to try free trade, and so voted the demo cratic ticket. They will have had all they want of free trade based on wages. If the .same rate of wages prevailed over the world there would be no necessity for r protec tive tariff- Our manufacturers must reduce Jthe scale of wages to the European standard the mo ment the protective tariff is aboU ished or go out of business."

In Gaston, Kentuckey, last week, two colored men were hung to a llag staff in front of the postoftice in broad day light. The people of the south will grow boldes, in their outrages on colored people until the colored race will rise up and in a terrible manner wreak vengenance on its oppressors. The time may come when the south will appeal to the north for protection from the furies it is now planting in the hearts of the southern .color ed people. In the Gastan outrages the colored men were not guilty of the crime, that is usually made an excuse for such summary proceed ings, assults on white women. They had done no more than thousands of white men have done in the south, killed another man. The colored race has been long the suf fering and longer in patience, but it will not always remain insensi ble of the wrongs that are done to it. The south will have a bigger problem than it now anticipates if it continues in its present policy. Iowa Kegister.

Syl Ilathway one day last week while loading ice in some way let a large cake fall on his left leg, caus ing a fracture of the tibua just be low the knee, He was brought to town and Dr. Davis attended him. It is feared the injury will be per manent. L. G. Todd departed last week for Texas and expects to gone ten be days. Burglars paid our village another visit last week but got nothing of any value. Brakeman A. C. Duggy has been laying off on account of sickness. From the Runlet. Miss Myrtle Dean received a hand some upright piano the past week of which she is justly proud, inas much as she has earned and paid for it herself. Little Johnnie, the 13 year-old baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Oseenkcp, died Saturday morning. Thtf remains were taken to Louis ville for interment in the family burying ground. Jvlmwood is talking up a cob pipe factory. And she will get it too, for she is a hustler. Eagle could just as well as not have had a cob pipe factory, a canning concern or steam mill if all would but work together. Miss Grace Brown, accomponied by her friend, Miss Dell Ilassack of Reserve, Kan., spent Saturday, Sun day and Monday, the guests of O. P. Brown, the M. I. agent. J. A. Vierson, e gentleman from Kansas, has taken possession of the M. I'. hotel and trusts to merit a shart of the patronage of the peo ple by good, clean, substantial meals. From the Courier Journul.

Mr.Ashman has accepted the manngeri.igof the Waterman lum ber yard. We heartily welcome them to our city. Mr. and Mrs. John Ahl returned Tuesday from a three week's visit in Santa Rosa, California. They re port having a nice time, and say that farmers in California are sow ing grain; flowers are in b!oom and everything has a sunny summer appearance. The frost bitten calf, who acts as solicitng correspondent for the I'lattsmoutli News, was in our city Sunday, lool ing after the interests of that sheet and in Wednesday's News he gives ourcity a write-up and says, "Louisville is a quiet, little town." Why didn't he come around during a week day when business was humming, and then give us a "blow." From the Knijle. Charlie Beach was a victim of an other accident a few days since. His father was assisting him to cut down a tree. hen it was nearly down his fatlnr stuck the axe in the tree, leaving Charlie to finish the job. Before the tree fell, the axe came down, spliting Charlie's leg in a horrible shape. And he has concluded to lav his axe on the i""f4 after this.

Day's elevator the horses gave a sudden start throwing Barnum out of the sleigh backwards, alighting on the back of his head. He was picked up in an unconscious con dition and carried to the office of Dr. Butler where his only hurt was found to be a small cut on the back of his head, his brain received a very severe shock at the same time. The doctor thinks that he will soon be all right again. From the Kcho. The fourth and last car of lumber for the new opera house ai rived last week and was unloaded on the ground. Durbin Bros, who will do the work have already got out much of the casiugand fiames.and as soon as the weather will permit the constructions will commence. Miss Alpha Fells was kindly re membered by her papa last week with a beautiful upright piano, which prize Miss Alpha appreciates very highly, She has been taking a throughout course in instrumen tal music at Lincoln the past two years and now the Eells domicile rings with sweet music. John R. Baird returned last Fri day evening from his old home in Ontario, and he says he enjoyed the trip immence, but there is one business point he has salted down, and that is that the whole of Can ada is decidedly democratic when talking upon U. S. politics. This is proof enough for John that all the U. S. should be republican. The carpenters commenced work on Henry Holenbeck's elegant new residence Tuesday inorninir and the work is progressing rapidly with Ede & Uhley at the helm. The structure promises to be one of the most unique and best in the city. The residences in Elmwood, as a rule, are all pretty nice, and we re joice to see so many more under course of construction. From the Register. Lewis rhyban, left last Monday for Huntingston, West, Va., to visit relatives and friends. Mr. Beeman, who, with his family have been visiting relatives at Pa cific Junction, since the holidays, returned home last week. Last Wednesday while the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Beeman, was playing on the floor it came across a hair pin, the child like placed it in its mouth. Later it fell down and inflicted a very serious, if not a dangerous wound. PEOPLE AND AFFAIRS. Oskalosa Herald.

HEN BUTLER AND THE SPOON'S. I remember well a meeting in Hartford, Conn., when, soon after the general had commenced speak ing, a tipsy individual cried out In a loud voice: "Gen. Butler, tell us someting about those spoons you stole in New Orleans!" The general replied by saying he would tell all about it when he got throutrh, and went on with his speech. When he ceased speaking and was gathering up his notes and papers prepara tory to leaving the stand without making the explanation asked for the same voice was heard again and in a very peremptory tone de manded an explanation as to those "stolen spoons." "Ah yes," respon ded the general. ' The matter had escaped my memory." Then in hie most persuasive tones he innocent ly inquired: "Are you a republi can, my friend':" "I am," rejoined the other, "and I am proud of it " 'So was I," sharply retorted the gen eral, -wiien i stole those spoons," and turning about he left the stand amid such a storm of laughter and applause as was never heard be fore in that hall. The "howls of laughter" in this case were evident on the general's side. The family medicine of the world TUTT'S PILLS. Born To Mr. and Mrs. M. J.
