Neb. * ' 1 VW All work receives prompt attention J c 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. " * yfl _ i _ _ _ _ t5s > i / 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.
