m Official City and County Paper.
B In closing up tho saloons on Sunday ,
H tbo mayor of Omaha is entitled to the
m respect and support of all lovers of law
Hf and decency.
Hj Those Omaha papers who aro fight-
H ing the Mayor for closing the saloons
Hf on Sunday are simply exceeding the
Hl limit of decency , and exhibit an amaz-
Hj' ingly low degrde of morality. It is
Hf simply infamous that a metropolitan
Hj , daily , in this day , would pursuo such a
f course.
H | There is to be another international
Hb yacht race this autumn , and our Eng-
1 lish cousins having plucked up enough
BI courage to challenge the winner of the
B America's cup. The earl of Dunraven
E has sent the challenge and the sport
Hj loving people of both counties will look
Hj forward to the contest with great inter-
Hj est. The cup has been so gallantly de-
K fended in the past , that Ameaicans are
H | not alarmed at the prospect of another
l'- - " * attempt to carry it to England , and there
f is no doubt that the challenge will be
1 eagerly accepted. Very likely , too , the
1 duty of keeping the cup here may fall
Hf to a New York yacht man.
Bj The terrible catastrophe that wreck-
H cd all the German and American men of
B war in the harbor at Samoa will probably
B persuade the president and the emperor
B that procrastination is the thief of time
B an that they had better settle the dis-
H | pute as soon as possible and release their
B navies from the obligation of watching
B eacu other in so dangerous a locality.
ft The English man of war had her steam
B UP an was starting away to another
B port , or there would have been another
B vessel and crew added to 'the list of
H | casualties. A harbor with a coral reef
K attachment is a poor place m which to
B ride out a hurricane.
H The secretary of the interior , from
H i all appearancesis carefully deliberating
H | as to whom he shall select to negotiate
HI with the Indians for the opening of the
H | Sioux reservation in Dakota. The f ail-
H " > ure of the Vilas commission to come to
H a definite understanding is still fresh in
B mind. The task is certainly a most
H delicate one and can be entrusted only
to men who are conversant with the In
i dian question and who have the confi
dence of the Sioux. The apparent slow-
Hj ness of Secretary Noble in the matter is
Hj galling to the people of Dakota , who are
H impatient to rush the negotiations.
H I There can be but little question that the
HJ secretary of the interior has taken the
Hp | proper course and that the opening of
H \ the reservation will be brought about as
H soon , as expedient.
Hi
H , Public Printer Benedict went in-
H to office with the announced intention
H of reforming the public printing office ,
H and in order to make his administration
H seem more pure and more economical ,
B bitterly attacked the administration of
B - his predecessor , the late S. P. Hounds.
B But Mr. Benedict turned out to be one
B of the most brilliant specimens of bogus
B reformer that the late administration
B produced. The work of his office is
B- behindhand and he has
- < hopelessly , man-
B aged to use up his appropriation , in a
B reckless fashion , in spite of the law
which limits the amount to be spent in
j each quarter of the fiscal year. On the
* whole , it seems that a new broom is
* " * ' sadly needed in this office , and that it
will have to be wielded with a vigorous
hand. Lincoln Journal.
A brief period of sober reflection
convinces those who fought and bled
for the honor , that legislative life is a
waste of energy and a strain on one's
character. Honest men retire from the
' = * . strife with pleasure , while the disrepu
tables cling to it while there is a dollar
in sight. The former will not stoop to
low trickery and scandalous schemes to
; secure support for measures of public
good , but cannot escape the annoyances
% which surround legislatures. The latter
are at home in the tide of dissipation
< and dishonesty and flourish on booty
i and bestiality. This condition is charge-
r able to the indifference of the better
' - class of citizens. They refuse to take
* an active part in the primaries and con-
- • ventions and permit these foundations
; * * of official life to be controlled and man-
| ' a _ ged by schemers and place hunters.

; " The present administration is dis
posed to a friendlier recognition of the
somewhat poorly paid services and abil
ities of newspaper men than any of its
predecessors. Mr. A. B. Ball , editor of
. the Tccumseh Kepublican , has been ap
pointed register of the land office at Salt
. ' Lake City. This is the only land office
" * - in Utah , and one of the best in the coun-
I l . try. Mr. Ball is a native of Indiana ,
T and has been an able fighter in the Re
publican ranks for a quarter of a cent-
L ury. Having a personal acquaintance
: with Harrison , his paper at Teeumseh
was the first in this section to hoist the
J name of the successful candidate to its
mast head. Mr. Ball had strong recom
mendations from this state , Indiana and
Colorado , where he was favorably known
\M \ - to leading Bepublicans , and the Journal
V , congratulates him upon his appoint- |
m ment. Lincoln Journal. !
M The state board of transportation has settled

elected secretaries and C. H. Holmes of Gage , ,

"A Curl From Baby's Head/ '
* Words and Muelo by Edwin Hnrley.
Tho abevo is tbo name of a new sonr which
we havo Just received from tbo publishers , and
for beuuty and sentiment is without doubt the
bc8two havo yot soon. Wo give below tbo
words of tho first verso
I've a darling waiting for me ,
Pretty bluo oyes bo full of gloo.
Tiny red lips aro lisping papa ,
while from him I'm away so far.
When last I left him in bis mother's arms ,
Sleeping sweetly , fearing no harm ,
Quickly I stolo from his forehead so fair
This little lock of his goldon hair.
Chorus
A curl from tho Baby's head , yes , a curl from
tho Buby's head.
It will nover grow old , this trcasuro of Gold-
Next my brart I'll wear it till dctid.
A curl from my Baby's head , yes , a curl from
my Baby's head.
It will never grow old. this treasure of gold ,
This curl from my Baby's head.
The second verso is oven better than tbo
first , and with tho musio , which is wrltton
with a beautiful waltz melody , it makes one of
the prettiest songs yot written. Tho title page
is adorned with a beautiful lithographic pict
ure ot tho author's little baby boy , with long
golUen curls. Tho publishers will send tho
abovo to any address for 12 2-cent stampB.
As the song retails for GO cents in tho musio
stores , this is quite a liberal offer. Address
all orders to J. C. GROENE & CO. , 30 & 40 Ar
cade , Cincinnati , Ohio.
THE LAWNS.
[ From VIck's Magazine. ]
The artistic arrangement of the lawn is to
tho owner of every country place , a matter of
tho first importance , or should be. Time was
when flower beds plentifully besprinkled its
green surface , and mado of oven tho smallest
plat a very garden of brilliant coloring , at
tracting the eyo of every beholder. But the
fashions chango horo as well as elsewhere.and
behold , now , tho popular taste would point to
ward tho larger expanse of green with its mod
icum of shrub and tree , while Uiu old tlmo
flower bed and its occupants smilo at you
through tho garden fence. Care should be
taken to have a firm , beautiful sod in tho first
place , to which end a thorough preparation is
essentiar.and.whether it is to be soded or sown ,
frequeut top-dressing will insure its continued
beauty , especially if cut close and often. As
to tho arrangement , a continuous variety in
form , color and expression would lend them
selves to the eye and hand of the true lover of
artistic beauty. Here a certain species of tree ,
dainty and delicate in nature , yet perfectly
hardy , would form a beautiful mass , when
grouped , like the dwarf arbor vita ? and Irish
juniper , while there are for separate planting
the varieties of Norway spruce , white spruce
and hemlock , tho larger varieties to be kept
within bounds by cutting back , while the
dwarfish kinds may follow their will.
Congressman Laird.
[ From the Lincoln Journal. ]
Sergeant at Arms , E. C. Parkinson , of the
senate , who has been in Washington , D. C , for
a couple of weeks , was in tho city yesterday.
It is understood that as soon as he passes the
civil service examination ho will be appointed
special pension examiner by his erstwhile
friend. Corporal Tanner. "In my short stay
at the national capital I saw Congressman
Laird frequently , and I was very much sur
prised at his condition , " said tho sergeant.
"Ho is under the doctor's care and in a short
time he will be himself again. There is no
reason , whatever , to think that his illness will
be fatal. He has a good appetite and does
considerable work every day. The boys out
here ought to encourage him by writing once
in a while. It would do him good. A little
quiet and care will bring him around. "
In a Critical Gondi 'ton. .
On Monday evening of this week , Charlie
Suiter , a fireman on the TJ. P. out of Omaha ,
Jormerly a B. & M. employe out of McCook ,
was seriously injured in a wreck in tho vicini
ty of Hammond's ice house , North Omaha.
The engine toppled over , Suiter receiving a
dislocated shoulder and injury to spine. His
condition , says tho Bee , is critical.

"Faint heart fair lady never won. "

But bravest hearts , since time's beginning ,
Have lost fair ladies after winning.

Postmaster Pearsonof ; New York , has
given out a long statement defining his posi
tion. He says noempJoyo of the New York
postofllce has been treated with undue severi
ty under his regime. He has never , he says ,
allowed himself , in the performance of his
duties , to be swayed by either personal or
political bias. Mr. Pearson is evidently very
anxious to keep his head on his shoulders.
The Connecticut legislature has the power
to commute sentences of death. A strong lob
by was present the other day when a case in
point camo up and the nutmeg lawmakers let
the man off from the penalty of his crime.
Connecticut needs a revision of her constitu ? '
tion. It is a wonder since her legislature is a
criminal court of appeal , that it has time to at
tend to anything else.

When with some soap a salesman bold
Comes in your place to there unfold
His samples , and proceeds to say :
"This equals , sir , in every way
• • ' The Ivory ; 'tis made in fact
* ' By the same formula exact ;
'Tis just as white , indeed the man
Who makes this soap by perfect plan ,
Has made the Ivory o'er and o'er
For Procter & Gamble heretofore.
Besides , this soap brings to the till
More profit than the Ivory will. "
He means to use by such a game. Reply to all who do intend
Your reputation and good name To use you thus to gain their end :
A fraud or counterfeit to sell • " When you for your own soap create ,
Of what is known and proven well. Upon its worth demand as great
„ . , . . „ As Ivory Soap this day can claim ,
This means his soap will never go
ru b should trade ire thc same
On its own merits fast or slow ; But have no tJ j u
And you , like him , the truth must toss , To introdue your soap foV you
Clean overboard , or sell at loss , [ land And customer perhaps offend
It means still more , that throughout the "
w ± ds x fe ar t0 recommend.
The Ivory Soaps m great demand. "
For none chase with imitations frail Don't buy the soap that salesmen say :
An article that has no sale. " Is like the Ivory every way , "
And who for counterfeit will pay For grocers can this tale unfold
The price of genuine goods 'to-day ? Of every hundred cakes they sold
Then whence can the advantage flow On seventy-five a loss they bore ,
Or how can you "more profit" know ? Or else it ne'er had left their store.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps , each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory' ; "
they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for " Ivory " Soap and Insist upon getting it.
