SosiE of McShane's bar'l seems to
have found its way into the Lincoln
Daily Call office , judging from the man
ner in which that "anti" paper is lam
pooning the "old governor. "
Owing to the great coal strike now
in progress in England the price of coal
lias advanced , two shillings per ton.
With the prospects of dear bread and
dear coai , the outlook is decidedly se
rious for the English workingman. A
demonstration of the unemployed and
discontented in Trafalgar Square , such
as took place this spring , may be looked
for at any moment as the first mutter"
ings of the storm.
As THE campaign draws to a close
the republican speeches increase in force
and excellence , while those of the dem
ocrats become more trivial and absurd.
The explanation lies in the fact that the
former have truth and patriotism on
their side , whereas the latter aie enliie-
ly wanting in such advantages. It is
easy for an orator to be eloquent and ef
fective when the doctrines which he fid
vocates are sound and attractive.
TllE grand commandery Knights
Templar of Iowa has openly rebelled
against the new ritual adopted by the
late triennial conclave , and will stand
by the old one. Their course is consul
ered by the commanderies of the neigh
boring htates as revolutionary , and the
Iowa knights have been denied fellow
ship. What the outcome will be cannot
be foreseen , but the disruption will be
watched with great interest by members
of the order throughout the country.
With the disappearance of the once
celebrated surplus , the Mills bill loses
all its argument of practical necessity
It becomes a purely theoretical measure ,
not designed to remedy an intolerable
condition , but to start the tariff ball
rolling down the American slopes until
it shall plunge into a sea over which
foreign countries can send their goods
without meeting the slightest obstacle
on this side. The shaft prepared os
tensibly to prick an imaginary surplus
remains as a thorn in the Democratic
side. New York Sun.
It is curious to think how indifferent
are some people to those atmospherical
changes which so signally effect the
health and temper of others. You will
see one man on a rainy day or a cold
day so transformed from good nature to
acidity a.id bitterness that his best
friends would fain get out of his way
at least till the " 'wind changes. " Those
of less sensitive organization have little
patience and less pity for what they can
not understand ; yet this unfortunate
3las are not lor that reason to be shut
nut in the cold until they "come to. "
A little sympathy some cheeiful topic
of conversation adroitly introduced j
some pleasing little personal attention
it the right moment and lo ! the mental
clouds disperse and all again is sunshine. (
The supreme court , Monday , sustain ,
2d the constitutionality of the prohibi
tion law of Iowa. The point of issue was
the right to manufacture intoxicating
liquors solely for exportation to other
states , despite the state law , and it was ,
[ ( leaded that the prohibitory feature , in
50 far as manufacture for exportation is
joncerned , was in conflict with constitu- (
iona' ' provisions giving congress the j
iole right to regulate interstate eom-
nerce. The case is that of J. S. Kidd ,
listiller , plaintiff in error , versus I. Ej
Pierson and S.J. Loughras. The court
lolds that the state law prohibiting both
nanuiacture and sale , except for me-
ihanical medicinal , and (
, pulmonary sac-
'amental purpnsesis not in conflict with t
nterstate commerce provisions and de- c
isions of the Iowa court are sustained.
e
opinion by Justice Lamar.
Some of our contemporaries are mak-
ng honest attempts to describe clearly
he political situation in New York. The
lountry is too full of busy men to ren-
ler any such an attempt successful. All
hat appeals to be surely known about
he situition in New York is that the
epublicans are satisfied with their tick-
it , state and national , and are working
ogether honestly for the first time in
lany years , while the democracy of the |
arious ' 'halls" and factions are pulling |
air in a very desperate fashion and one
f the factions is circulating papers for
i nature , pledging the signers to vote
or Cleveland for president , and Miller ,
epublican , for governor. Still the hair
Hilling may cease suddenly before the
lection and both parties may poll a full
ote. The circumstances are on the
rhole quite favorable to the success of .
he republican state and national tickets
ti New York.
Here is a brief summary of'President
ileveland's record on pension bills com
arcd with the record of three republi-
an presidents who preceded him. It
ardly bears out the assertion that he is
the old soldier ' s friend : " "Private
ension legislating number bills passed
uring the Forty-ninth congress , 939 ;
umber of bills during the first session
f the Fiftieth congress.751 ; number of
ills vetoed by President Cleveland to
ate , 20G , or L veto to nearly 3 bills ,
eing about 12 per cent , vetoed. Num-
er of bills approved by Grant , Hayes
ml Arthur , 1U14 ; jnumber of bills ve-
oed , eight , or one veto to 200 bills , be-
ig only one-half of 1 per cent.and , not
ne of the eight were vetoed on their
lerits or questions of fact , but in the
titerest of the soldier. In addition to
bese vetoed bills by President Cleve-
and twenty-five other bills failed to re-
ei ve his approval. " *

Heartrending Scenes
caused by an exhibition of Heating
Stoves at the Pioneer Hardware.
Pandemonium a Picnic ,
compared to tho commotion caused by
the dazzling splendor of the Sovereign
Jewel base burner.
A Woman Burst
into tears and declared she would have
no other stove if she didn't have a new
dress for a year.
One Woman Hung
about her husband's neck and besought
him to buy her a Sovereign Jewel for
a Christmas present.
Another Woman Melted
into tears when she saw one going to
lier neighbors , and one woman
Thought She'd Die
' aughing for joy when she discovered
that her husband had already secured
) ne. But it was only a touch of hap
py hysterics and she is now feeling bet-
; er than ever before in her life.
The Sovereign Jewel Base-Burner is
guaranteed to do one-third more heating
vith the same amount of fuel than any
ither stove on the market. We have

COMPETITORS PLAY THE LYRE ! /
There's no denying that they are great on that j
instrument , and play with a good deal of vim , but
the Lyre doesn't last like our instrument.
WE BLOW OUR HORN
To announce that we have added S6,000 worth of
Fall and Winter Goods to our already mammoth
Stocft of Boots & Sfioes ; h
And that we intend to sell them 20 per cent , be- j
low any firm that claims to compete with , or
undersell us.
We Can Do It ! I
Because we buy direct from wholesale manufac- a
toners' saving the jobbers' profit , which is 20 per fj
cent. Because we pay cash for every dollars' i-y
worth of goods we buy and take a liberal discdunt. l
