IT will be no violation of confidence
to say that if Gov. Morton, of New
York, gets a chance to trade his presi
dential boom for a string of fish, he
had belter take it. Ex.
It is barely possible that George
Meiklejohn will yet come to the con
clusion that he was a little bit pre
vious in declining to be a candidate
for congress in order to be a candi
date for governor. Beatrice Express.
Des Moines has more conventions
than any other city in Iowa, but she
had to make a great hustle to get the
republican state convention this year.
In order to secure that meeting they
had to agree to pay all expenses of
delegates and everything incurred
during the meeting.
Illinois went for McKinley with a
whoop, and from this time on it will
only be a scramble of luckless republi
cans trying to get in the band wagon.
The national convention at St. Louis
so far as the presidential nomination
is concerned will be little else than a
grand ratification meeting.
The Massachusetts democratic plat
form places the responsibility for hard
times on the last republican adminis
tration. This is not claiming much
for democratic ability. A party that
can not take hold of bad times and
restore prosperity will be bounced.
and bounced hard, by the American
people. Ex.
Almost any kind of figures repre
senting the whole of the United States
are staggering when they are first
brought forward. Who would think,
for instance, it will require 10,000
barrels of lubricating oil to run the
bicycles of this country during the
season of 189(5? The cost of this fea
ture of wheeling will be, it is esti
mated, about a quarter of a million
dollars. Ex.
If there is anything any more sat
isfactory to the average citizen than
to take a drive out into the country
and view the fields of growing
crops, this department can't figure out
wbat it would be. Farmers are mak
ing an extra effort this spring, and
with the favorable weather the pros
pects are most flattering for the larg
est crop that was ever harvested in
Cass county.
The Nebraska City News editor is
losing much sleep over what Strode
has and has not done in Congress. A
man that could bray like a mule would
please the News. It hankers for noise
and mistakes it for evidence of states
manship. Strode has done more active,
efficient work for his district in one
term than all the oratorical windbags
could have done in ten. He has spent
no time polishing up speeches, but has
spent much time looking after the in
terests of his constituants in tho dif
ferent departments.
The simon-pure, unterrified, un
washed, barefooted-thoroughbred de
mocracy had an inning at Lincoln
yesterday, and report has it that they
outnumbered the hybridous Bryan
outfit by several hundred. The work
of the convention was soon accom
plished, the proceedings harmonious,
and the regulation platform passed
with a whoop. The supremacy of this
wing of the democracy is now well es
tablished at home, but the decision of
the St. Peter of the Chicago conven
tion is still in doubt. Beatrice Ex
press. Colonel W. N. Becker of Ash
land, in his well edited paper, the Ga
zette, takes us to task for rounding up
Dude Meiklejohn occasionally to which
we are forced to respond that we know
Mr. Meiklejohn better than the editor
of the Gazette knows him, and
unless egotism were mistaken for
brains, we insist that the gentleman is
not a fit candidate for governor of this
great state. He has been honored far
beyond his merits already, and if Col
onel Becker keeps his eye on Mr.
Meiklejohn he will see him fall very
fiat when the people outside of the
Third district get after him this fall.
Mucn comment favorable to the new
city attorney, Chas. Grimes, has been
heard on account of his prompt orose
cution of misdemeanors under the or
dinances before the police judge. His
predecessor did not - know enough
about the practice to appear on short
notice and prosecute, as he was afraid
the young lawyers about town would
do him up, and there was merit in his
show of discretion. Police Judge
Archer never sent for C. S. Polk when
the latter was city attorney that he
did not respond, and he never sent for
Mr. Davies that he did respond and
prosecute. Mr. Grimes will bo appre
ciated by the law abiding public, as he
shows a disposition to do something
beside draw a salary, and has a
knowledge of the law which permits
him to go into a case without previous
preparation a fact no one can claim
for Mr. Davies.
AS AN illustration of the value of
ground in Chicago, it is given out that
the Illinois Trust and SaviDgs bank
has just leased the ground upon which
the Grand Pacific hotol stands for a
term of ninety-nine years, paying
therefore an annual rental of $81,970,
which is 5 per cent on a valuation of
81,039,000. The lot is 178 by 18Gi feet.
It is the purpose of the bank to erect
a banking house two stories and base
ment, something after the style of the
Bank of England and is to cost about
$300,000; It will be the finest bank
building in America. Ex.
Had the McKinley boom not been
well anchored in this county the flop
ping of -the 4x6 "organ" over to its
support, after a few days of opposition,
would have resulted disastrously, but
it was too strong to feel the effect of
the load.
INFORMATION AND Ol'INION.
W. S. Stratton, tho Cripple Croek
millionaire, who seems disposed to be
generous just now, when generosity
will go a long way, was once a Lincoln
carpenter, so hard up that he used to
&have himself with a handsaw. Now
he is richer than any western editor,
and he got his wealth at Cripple
Creek. His success lured hundreds of
others there, and they are uow home
less and hungry, and some of them are
in the hospital. The man who trusts
to luck for a fortune may get it. But
there are 999 chances in a possible
1000 against him, and the gold seeking
carpenter had better stick to his saw,
and earn a cast iron dollar or two
every day, in the good old way.

Plant some forest trees in the pas
ture this year and take care of them.
In a few years they will offer abundant
shade for the cows at noon time when
they want to lie down and chew their
cud. No pasture should be without
its clumps of shade trees when it is so
easy a matter to put them there. Good
reports are coming from all hands as
to progress in tree planting this year.

To Itrothera Sherman and Tfxltl.
I think that the dignity and power you Rive
"Mr. Fiat" is extravagant and undeserved.
Many years ago congress made a decree or fiat
that gold and silver should be a legal tender in
payment of debts. Congress said that gold and
silver should be at parity sixteen parts of silver
by weight should be equal to one part of gold.
Congress made that decree on tiat because the
commercial value of sixteen ounces of silver was
at that time equal to one ounce of gold. It con
gress had put a hat on silver, saying that eight
ounces of silver should be equal in value to one
ounce of gold, it would have created any amount
of mischief. Fiats must conform to truths al
ready existing. The Lord could not make a body-
without extension, with all the fiats at his com
mand. Beads are legal tender in some paits of
Africa, but no hat could make them legal tender
among civilized nations. Brothers Sherman and
Todd may put a tiat on the sun and command it
to rise in the east for a year to come, and it will
obey them, but if they think it did so ou account
of their hat. let them command it to rise in the
south. Everything of any value at all must have
a commercial value. Sheep and oxen have a
commercial value, but would you put a fiat on
them and say that sixteen sheep should be
worth one ox. A sheep would know better than
that. Mr. Towne, of Minnesota, says "that laws
cannot meddle with the value of things." Mr.
Towne believes in two standards of values and
two legal tenders at parity, but he fails to tell us
how gold and silver are to be kept at parity. He
hopes that the wisdom and patriotism of the
people will find some way to keep gold and silver
at the old parity. J. F. Docu.
ABOUT THAT KECEIVEHSIIII'.
What a Correspondent Thinktuof the Trib.
une'a "Court UeclsioiiH."
Weei'ino Water, Neb, May 2, IS'.;.
The freckled-faced editor of the
Plattsrrouth Tribune, in his issuo of
the 24ih ult., in distressing tones,
toars in his voice and with sobs calcu
lated to jar his whiskers, comments on
the "uncalled-for removal of Receiver
Dontlan." Among other things the
Tribuno says that "tho evidence, and
we listened to much of it, was all in
favor of the receiver": his character so
high as a business man, reputation un
spotted by a single bad habit. (Sighs
and tears.) Mr. Donelan s removal
can be viewed in no other light than
a victory lor the men who plundered
the Commercial bank. (Tears and
sobs.) If the sunuy-hairod editor of
the Tribune would turn up his p ints.
adjust his monocle and step over to
the court house some day and scau the
files in the case, ho would find there
the application of from thirty-five to
forty depositors of the defunct bank
asking the removal of the receiver
still tne removal is "uncalled-for I" It
is much regretteu that the editor of
the great Cass county weekly did not
inform the court before tho case was
decided what he had concluded, after
hearing "muchof the evidence," what
the decision should be. It must be
very humiliating to the court after
hearing all the evidence and carefully
weighing it, to find that he has de
cided a case directly opposite to the
views of tho great weekly, especially
when the editor had heard "much of
the evidence," and when such views
so completely dove-tail with those
of the gang lately routed. It is hard
to tell how the one idea Tribune editor
arrived at the conclusion that "all the
evidence was favorable to the re
ceiver" when he only heard "much of
it." He cortainlv could not have
heard the testimony of Dr. Butler, J.
M.Edger, S. W. Orton, John L. Huck
ins, A. B. Smith and others, and make
the assertion referred to; if he heard
their evidence and yet asserts that it
was favorable to the receiver, then it
becomes my duty to call down this
great moulder of opinion, and say to
its editor that he makes a grave mis
take when he allows his paper to be
come the champion of any faction, yet
I have been informed that such is the
purpose of the Tribune's organization.
Not much can be said about the re
ceiver's high business character; it
is but another example of poor Tray,
who, it is said, had as good a business
character as any dog need want, until
he was found in bad company; and I
have heard it intimated that the re
ceiver was not wholly responsible for
the wrongs perpetrated upon the
creditors of the defunct bank, but
that some of the Tribune's friends
were accessories before the fact. It
may be that the Weeping Water citi
zens have been going wrong in their
theology for a long time, but the
preachers have taught it, aud the
people have believed that unmitigated,
premeditated, cold-blooded prevari
cating is a bad habit, but the great
weekly Tribune says it is not. It will
also bo news to the citizens of Weep
ing Water that P. S. Barnes, Dr.
Butler, John L. Iluckins, John II.
Davis and others are bank-wreckers,
but there can be no other inference
from the closing sob of the Tribune.
It is to be hoped that the paffron
haired editor of the great weekly will
confine the columns of his paper to the
news of the day, and not attempt to
criticise tho courts. I advise this on
account of the limited amount of brain
nower behind the paper. It may re
quire some effort at first for tho Tribune
. i r
lO Keep lis DOSe UUimuuiui a
business, but in view of the fact that
by so doing a large part of its volun
tary patronage may remain with it,
tho effort should be" made.
BAREFOOT BABIES.
I know a spot, a sunny nook.
Where barefoot babies come to plaf.
Where nature's bost unfolded book
Reveals its teachings all the day.
There where the tiger lily lifts
Its haughty face to greet the wnile
Of fiky blue heaven's snowy drifts
Come naught of worldly care nor guile.
There, close beside a rippling stream
The barefoot babies laugh and prance
And tons their yellow locks that gleam
Like taaseled corn in breeze's dance.
Dear barefoot babies, reap the sweet
Of youth and life and dance your best.

THEY WERE BEARS.
How a Ilnnter Bagged a Ton of Them In
Thirty Second.
"I believe I got as big a bag of bears
in as short a time as any man ever did,"
said Doc Stadley, the ex-sheriff and boat
hunter of Mendocino.
"A bag of bears?" exclaimed the
young man who had just been telling
about a bag of snipe ho had once killed.
"What were they little follows? What
is it you call them kittens? No, cubs;
that's it"
"No, sir. They were not kittens or
cnbs. They were beais," declared Doo.
"I think I piled up about a ton of bear
meat in about 30 seconds. I was out
hunting in the southern part of Trinity
county about 17 or 18 years ago. We
had killed about 40 deer and 3 panthers
and a bear or two in a couple of weeks,
and were pretty near ready to break
camp when I thought I would go out
and kill another deer to take home
fresh. It was late in tho afternoon, and
I was creeping along in the brush, when
Buddenly I came out into a little open
ing. I stopped to see if there was any
sign of deer, and while I 6tood looking
about a big black bear climbed up on
the trunk of a big fir tree that had been
uprooted. He wasn't 30 yards away,
and I plugged him in the ear. He rolled
off the log and down the hill toward me,
but before I had time to see if he was
dead another boar climbed up on that
same log to see what the row was about.
I 6hot it in tho head, and it rolled
down tho same way tho other had gone.
Up climbed a big 2-year-old to take it9
place, and after I had shot it two big
yearlings, one after the other, climbed
up on the log to be shot.
"Every one rolled down the hill to
ward me and was kicking and thrash
ing around not ten steps away. By that
tinMl came to the conclusion that I was
in a bear country, and I didn't lose any
time climbing a sapling. When I got
well braced up among the limbs, I sal
and pumped lead into that pile of bears,
Every time one kicked I gave him a
bullet, till they all stopped kicking.

they must have weighed over a ton al

Learning a Foreign Language.
Some interesting statistics might be
collected on the effect upon linguistics
power and accent of the possession of a
musical ear. It would seem that-a per
son with a good ear for music would be
more rapid in the acquirement of a for
eign tongue, and having acquired it
would possess a more perfect pronuncia'
tion of the sounds than would a person
not having the same ready musical gift
Similarly such a person would be
quick to attain the dialect of the conn
try in which he might be living and to
adapt his speech to the brogue or pro
vincialism with which he found his eara
surrounded.
The greater rapidity with which Ger
mans, Poles and Russians learn the

counted for merely by stating that their

than does that of the French or Italian.
A Greek, for instance, learns English in
about half tho time it takes an Italian
to acquire French, and a Russian will
speak French, English and German in
the same period that a Frenchman will
acquire a mere smattering of the two
latter. Pearson's Weekly.

PICKPOCKETS.
I"hey Mailt Have Nerves of Steel to Be
Successful Operators.
Because a man is a pickpocket it does
not necessarily follow that he is not
well educated nor a close observer of his
fellow mortals. The latter trait might
be said to be an absolute requirement to
a successful purloiuer of pocketbooks.
One of the gentry who possessed both
characteristics expressed himself the oth
er day to an Enquirer reporter at police
headquarters :
"There is no class of artists who in
their calling are as dexterous as pick
pockets. This is due to a double incen
tive. Not only do we find a bait for
effort and exertion in success, but have
the added spur of a fear of failure.
Success means as much to a pickpocket
as to any man, and failure means a
great doal more.
"A vocation in which the slightest
slip means a loss of liberty and perhaps
of life will ever be apt to have a degree
of expertness in its followers not present
in more reputable and safer avenues of
trade.
"Pickpockets, like poets and other
people, are born, not made. Their nerves
must be iron and yet as sensitive as in
stinct. Their hands must be as com
plete in make up and accomplishment
as Herrmann's, the magician, and strong
as steel, while light as down. Out of the
vnst army of humanity who are soldiers
of tho shadows only one-fourth of 1 per
cent can or do become pickpockets.
"These form the nobility of thieves
and are reverenced by tho burglar as of
a higher class than they. The practice
of a pickpocket while not really at work
is as constant as that of some famed
profesKor of tho violin or harp. He
keeps pace with the profession. No
Booner does some jeweler invent a new
fastening for diamond pins or studs
than these men of finest touch devise
tho motion which evades its purpose.
"The chief object of a piepkexket,
after certainty, is speed. He cannot
dally with his victim by the hour.
What he does is to be over in a flash.
Speaking of pins and studs, there has
never been a fastening so complex but
the expert thieves could defeat it in a
motion. They do in their business as
fine work as any Hindoo, and the thief
himself could not analyze or explain its
detail. His powers of execution have
gouo far beyond his powers of reception
or relation.
"A pickpocket consults his own nerv
ous condition constantly. No fine lady
ever has such a time with her nerves as
this aristocrat of the outlaws. If he
does not feel right, he won't 'work. "

SAND AS AN UNDERSTUDY.
It Canned the Wrath of a Tragedian
Doomed to Hang.
Jack Moynihan, known chiefly to fame
from tho fact that he managed a play
called "Tho Scarecrow," which was
written by a Chicago newspaper man,
and which ran one consoentivo night in
St. Louis, tells of the only actor he ever
knew as being legally executed.
On the day before tho execution the
condemned man called tho t-heriff to his
cell.
"Are we going to have a good house?"
he inquired of the official.
"Fairly good, I guess," was the reas
suring answer.
"Have yon papered tho town pretty
well?"
"Two hundred tickets to the sad event
have been issued. '
"Worked up any fake abont confession
and previous crimes to rouse interest
and give free advertising?"
"I think tho newspaper men have
been pretty vigilant."
"Do you think you care to rehearse
tho thing so as to get your lines?"
"I don't believe it will bo necessary.
Everything has been designed pretty
welL We tested the gallows and rope

hour ago. "
"Sand? Sand? The thunder yon say !
Do you mean to tell me, a man who has

aro using an infernal dumpy sack of
sand for my understudy, and that you
depend on your rehearsal with it to see
you through? Here you've gouo and got
a packed house just on the strength of

dignity of the profession by running on

H AS AN IXTEUEST1SU MEETING.
The Member Kngage In a Debate an to
the Itesult of Woman's Clubs.
The parliamentary law department
of the Woman's club held its I'jst meet
ing for the current year last evening,
with Mrs. U. D. Travis as loader. The
club room was beautifully decorated,
brilliantly lighted and presented, a
most inviting appoarance. Owing to
the King's Daughter's entertainment
the attendance was less than usual.
Tho club was honored in entertain
ing as guests Mrs. Skinner, president
of tho Nebraska City club, and Mrs.
lirown, also of rxebraska City.
The program opened with an essay
by Mrs. Todd on "Women of tho Revo
lution." Mrs. Todd thought too much
had been 6aid about our forefathers
and not enough about our foreniothers.
Tho essay was finely written and of
much intorest.
Miss Holloway followed with a clear
and concise article on tho X rays,
showing careful resoarch and explain
ing in a pleasing manner this greatest
discovery of the age
Miss Gass read of the "New Woman '
with a capital "N" and "W".
A reading, "Through tho Flood" by
Mrs. Herold was one of tho features of
the evening. Mrs. Ilerold's sweet
voico'and charming rendition of the
Scotch dialect gives much pleasure to
her hearers and added greatly to the
evening's entertainment.
Mrs. J. II. Hall's paper on the
"Parliament of Great Britain" was
thoroughlj' instructive and the subject
was well handled.
Mrs. flutler read an extract from
Mrs. Ilenroten's address before the
clubs of Missouri.
Tho club then organized itself into a
"debating society" with the question
before them as to whether or not wo
mens' clubs detracted from woraens'
usefulness in their homes. Mesdames
Unruh and Streight were chosen as
judges and arguments pro and con
followed at a lively rate. We feel
suro it would have done tho "chronic
objectors" to woman's clubs hearts
good could they have listeno l to the
talos of neglected homos and unper
formed duties, as civen by the affirma
tive of the question. At tho close of
tho debate a motion that the
Plattsmouth Woman's club immedi
ately disband was lost, and tho judges'
decision was in favor of tho club.
An interesting talk on the Nebraska
City club closed tho evening. Tho
next meeting of the club will bo a mus
icale at the Presby terian church on
eve of May 15.
Wo give below tho poetical version
of ono home that traced its ruin to
the club, as given by Mrs. Isabel
Ilichey in "Tho Tale of a Martyr."
A poor, despised, forsaken wretch
Slow plodded o'er the homeward stretch.
Ills soul was sad within his breast,
Because he had no time for rest.
He pat him forth at break of day
And wrought till evcninjj's misty urey.
He drank cold cottee from a tin
When tor an hour the frightful din
M wheels and piston-rods was still d.
With clammy tood his stomach tilled.
And now the dreary day was done.
He diayiied himself (he could not run)
't oward the spot that ought to hold
A joy more precious far than gold
A snowy table neatly spread
With pie and cake and meat and bread.
A tidy wife in (ierman blue.
And babies neat as morning dew.
Alas! Six barefoot children came,
W it ti scarce a tnniser to their name.
Their little hands were dark with grime
May be the shade of future crime,
lie saw them, and his spirit fell.
Alas! He knew the cause full well.
I '.lit, masking all his fears, he said,
(His voice was full of tears unshed),
"Where is your mother, sis and bub?"
They piped, "Oh, mother's at the club."
He set his teeth, his glances burned.
He muttered, "Now the worm has turned.
1 cannot thrive on Grecian art.
The time has come, anil we must part.
This Woman's Club has been my bane,
It all my happiness has slain.
My wife, who sought her lord to please.
Cares only now for Sophocles.
To men of dust she gives more heed
I han to her children's wretched need."
He wept, poor man; and who would not.
To think id his unhappy lot?
The children followed him in awe.
It was so strange to see their l'a
(iive way to grief, and weep and wail.
Then prow so stern and sad and pale.
Now listen, friends, the sequel please,
'Twere tit your very blood to freeze.
He gatheretl all the books that lay
Upon the furniture that day
Her Mitchell, 1'erry, Keber. Scott.
Her Lowell, l)ante. Biardot,
lie builded in a funeral pyre.
And then he set them all on tire.
W hen high it blazed he gave a leap
And landed on the burning heap.
A Martyr died aye, there's the rub
By reason of the Woman's Club.
How to Treat a Wife.
From Pacific Health Journal. )
First, get a wife; second, bo patient.
You may have great trials and por
plexitios in your business, but do not
therefore, carry to your home a cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife mav
have trials, which, though of less
magnitude, may be hard for her to
bear. A kind word, a tender word,
will do wonders in chasing from her
brow all clouds of gloom. To this we
would add always keep a boitlo of
Camberlain's Cough Kemedv in the
house. It is the bost and is sure to be
needed sooner or later. Your wife
