A Philadelphia saloonist adver tises to "give a bi-chloride of gold sandwich with each drink." It is hard to tret ahead of these hustlers for trade. ANOTHER evidence of the ungod liness of the New .York legislature is made manifest bv its refusual to pass a law prohibiting fishing on ounday. Col. A. L. Bixbt, of the Colum bus Sentinel dedicates this touching sentiment to Congressman 0. M. Kem, of this district: "I cannot sing the old songs, Eor I am tilled with woe; But I can howl calamity From h 1 to Broken Bow." The state democratic convention will be held in Omaha April 13th in t ue evening, tne oasis oi repre sentation is one delegate for each 150 votes, or major fraction thereof, cast for the democratic nominee for secretary of state in 1890. It is said the devil loves to do his deeds in darkness, hence the calling of the meeting of the unwashed after the shades of evening have fallen. Lin coln county will be entitled to three delegates.

This tone, pure and not string-like in the higher notes, vibratory aud resonant in the lower ones, is peculiarly warm and full. Its sound floods the larg est auditoriums, and where most vi olinists produce a hard, brilliant and wiry note Kemenyi gets a torn which is broadly pervasive and re silient. it is clearly the duty of a great nation like this to be prepared for war and then to avoid it.

The bil weight. Chili, vour Uncle Samuel is contemplates limiting, the dealing arranging for a finish fieht with that swaggering heavy-weight, J, Bull. It may become necessary to administer a little discipline to this bully if he does not cease poaching upon our seal preserves. .Now that the eood Dr. Miller and M. Henri Watterson have each concluded that Cleveland should get out of the way that gentleman will step aside as a presidential candidate. However the rank and file may not heed the words of these sages, and tne corpulent Moses may again called upon to lead his party. be Luther Bekson, the noted Indi ana temperance lecture who has in dulged in periodic sprees for the past twenty years and advocated prohibi tion during his sober intervals, has tried the Keeley cure. The result has proven disastrous and he has been committed to an insane hos pital as hopelessly incurable. Despite the statement that Bus sen sage is unpmianthropic he is said to have recently loaned $100, 000 upon Talmage's Tabernacle, in Brooklyn, upon no other security than a f 50,000 insurance policy upon T. De Witt's life. Perhaps this may m futures and options. This is the nrst great thrust at a business that stands supreme and immoveable in the channels of trade and with-holds the millions of dollars of profits mac ngiiciy oeionsr to tne rarmer and producer. There certainly can be but one side to this question of dealing in futures aud options. It is conceded by all, save the men who are making money in futures, that this dealing m options stands in the way of progressive farming; yea more; it is one or the great evils of the dav that keeps the farmer in ignorance, Dealing in futures fosters igno ranee irom ine race tnat nowiver diligent the farmer may cultivate and till his soil, he is confronted and handicapped by the so-called board of trade and a regular system of tuture dealings which sets the price of his farm products almost before ic is raised and most certain ly before it is offered on the market. The farmer plants his grain and diligently tills his soil with the high hope of realizing a fair price for his labor, but he soon finds that with .ill his skilled labor and improved machinery he is at the mercy of men who "bear the market down and "bull" the market up as best be but an evidence of paresis on the serves their gambling instincts and part of this bearish old broker. The alleged ticket of Clarkson mmA Belden, put up by some of the republican politicians in Iowa, will not excite a very large boom. Iowa will doabtlese send a Harrison dele- Sation to Minneapolis. That her ret choice might have been Blaine does aot argue that she will have another choice than Harrison, since Mr. Blame has declined to be con fidered a candidate. money mailing propensities. That men should, in the capacity of boards of trade, set the price on the necessitios of life is certainly absurd and to say the least ridiculous. Farmers are not engaged in produc ing an article of food that needs the assistance of boards of trade to sav what its selling price shall be. Let our wheat, corn, cattle and hogs be sold to the consumer according to the law of supply and demand. If spring wheat is poor in the sprii wheat growing districts, fall wheat may be held by the wheat growers in fall wheat districts and thus reap a fair price for their labor.

Mr. Cleve land may be supposed to believe that the spring wheat growing he should be the leader of the hosts can sow more spring wheat, thus that peal the battle cry, though he making up the deficiency and plac- is careful not to sav so.

Like all other great evils, dealing in futures has usurped almost un limited authority. The evil effects have long been seen throughout the land. But to at once stamn out this evil seems almost bevond the So came from New Jersey. Mr. Wat terson names a dozen democratic possibilities, but does not put Gray of Indiana, on the list, and as the former is a pretty close observer we may conclude that the vain aspira tions of Indiana's candidate are not worth consideration . But Mr. Wat terson speaks very vaguely concern ing democratic candidates, excepting power of man or congress Cleveland and Hill, of each of whom he says, "he will not do at all." Since Mr. Watterson andMr. Cleve land expressed their opinions anoth er distinguished democrat, a mem ber of congress from Illinois, has the product of a man who wishes to srjoken. and he said: "We are mak- dazzle the eyes of an alliance con ing ourselves ridiculous before the stituency.

One word more. We notice that this bill has been characterized as The action of American iron and steel makers in exporting last year 27,714,843 of their manufactures or $3,000,000 more than in 1890, and two and three-fourths as much as twelve years ago calls for the most severe condemnation from the free trade papers. Strange, isn't it, that we don t hear them yelling that the McKinley bill did it! Per haps the chief reason for their failure to call attention to it is the fact that the McKinley bill really did a large part ot it. lhat eminent democratic states man, ex-Governor Curtin, of Penn sylvauia, has this to say about Pres ident Harrisons administration: "Since Secretary of Stato James G. Blaine has so positively declined the preferred honor, I pee no way for your party but to renominate Pre sident Harrison. And whv not? Hasn't he given you a most emi nentlv clean administration? Hasn't he had les3 political and administra tive scandals thrn any administra tion for years? He is a thoroughly clean man; a descendant of the purest of pure aucestry, and one in whom no one can find the least taint whether personal, political, or official." ST. GEORGE AND THS BISHOP. A couple of Inter Ocean inter views: "Dr. George L. Miller, of Omaha, who registered at the Audi torium yesterday, does not think Cleveland a possibility, and if nom inated believes he will be defeated. He regards New York as still the pivotal state, ana thinks the neces sarv democratic combination to in sure democratic success is New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and the solid south. 'We can not win with a western man,' said Dr. Miller. 'Boies would be a good man for sec ond place, but this talk of western states going democratic is moon shine.
