" The latter for his : H "Selfishness. " H Hon. James Laird's health is im- H proving so rapidly that he has decided H to return to Washington with Senator B Mandcrson , to-day. This will be good H news to his many friends both in Neb- H raska and in the east. B The terrible disaster of the boiler ex- H plosion , accompanied by great loss of B life , in a prominent hotel at Hartford , B is a significant warning of the dangers B from unsafe boilers and incompetent or B careless engineers. B As the spring time comes the towns B of Nebraska are aronsing for the boom B which is as certain as the day of. judg- B ment. Prom many towns throughout B the state comes the news of an awaken- B ing almost unprecedented. B As a hair curling roaster Mr. ex- B Commissioner Edgerton must be pro- B nounced a glittering success , If Mr. H Cleveland has any appreciation of a H | hard hit he must feel pretty well used H | up after reading the colonel's literary B effusion. H * To-DAT is Washington's birthday , HE [ and it is one of the better signs of the HI times that the observance of the day is M becoming more general. It is well that m the American people have a reverence H | for the memory of the men whose lives m and actions did so much to insure the H greatness of the republic. The birth- H days of Washington , Lincoln and Grant H should be observed in every American M community where patriotism is counted H one of the cardinal virtues. flf Senator Coke has been talking four II days in an attempt to prove that eleci I tions in the south are as fairly conduct- I ed as in the north. Just now the south- I em shotguns are silent , because polls II are closed , but if an election were in II progress * the reports of these guns II would completely drown the most fiery II period of eloquence of which Senator f U Coke is capable. So long as the southl H em negro wantsto vote and is not al- H lowed to vote , Coke can talk till black- H er in the face than his oppressed brethJ J B ren , and he will convince no one. H ' h H PnOii the earliest old testament times the t H men and women have danced sometimes for t B fun and of times in devotion. The merry maid s H" in Solomon's tripped tho ligbt fantastic toe in & B : tho presence of his magniflcent court , assemi' H- - bled in honor of the visiting Queen of Sheba. f H * King David danced before the ark , and the ° H ladies of Palestine arc pictured on canvas , Br' ' many a time , and oft doing the double shuffle 0 B' ' ' or posing in graceful terpsichorean attitude. d B The men and women of the earth dance just Q H ' as much to-day as ever , and the men and _ H women of New York , not content with private t | ; exercises of this nature spend enormous sums j | - ' of money , and And delightjn exhibiting thorn- = B selves in public places. Some do it for charity , | some , hereby celebrate anniversaries , but the t B' great multitude go in for fun. t B : " fl - * General Solicitor Blythe of the Burlingd H ton system announces that be has been noti- Ht , fled by theIllinoisrailroad commissioners that t | ; they will not suffer the Iowa local rates to be , B' ' lower than their own and he says that the in- - ti I , . evitable result will be the adoption of the Iowa I" ' schedule in all other western states. This he t m ? says will bankrupt all the roads. The Burlingt | ; ; ton according to his statement must bend to Mf the storm and strip itself of all necessary sails. Ify * . Its first move will bo for the abolition of all I- " * ' local passenger trains which have been run for the accommodation of the people at a loss. L. . ; Probably this reform in the interests of econ- & ' - omy will begin in Towo. . , migr • | The movement in the Minnesota legislature G mf to appropriate § 100,000 for the purchase of t ] If ? seed wheat for farmers this spring gives a " | . " ' glimpse of suffering In that state. There is " * | / reason to believe that the situation Is much " | ; - worse in some parts of Dakota. The inquiries * ' ; made by relieving committees have brought out the fact that ttie wheat harvest on many farms was a complete failure , and tho reports fromwarehousesshowthataconsiderablepart • of what was harvested was good for so little as to have been scarcely worth the trouble of cutting and sending to market. " Mb. Cleveland's friends have always claim ed that a wonderful amount of backbono was one of bis chief qualifications. Dut it seems that tho delay in action on the direct tax bill I is duo to his cowardice. He dare not sign tho w bill because bis southern advisers have came down with an emphatic "No , " and yet bo hard ly bos courage to veto so just a measure. out of the dilemma be Hence as the best way q has urged his friends to lillbuster against tho 2 Passage of the bill until it can die iu bis bands k ' - without a direct veto.

" While like the waters to the sea "Not so , " the noble stranger cried ; His tears ran down both fast and free. "I have a piece and will divide ; " A passing stranger said : " My friend , And from his coat-tail pocket drew Why do those tears so fast descend ? " A cake and broke it fair in two. "Alas ! " he sobbed , "I've lost all hope ; Then rose in joy the Sultan gray , I've lost my cake of Ivory Soap. And made that man a Turkish Bey , No more in pride through town I'll go , With servants kind and Viziers sage , With garments clean.and..while as snow ; And fifty wives to cheer his age.
