The Philadelphia Times says If
the national democracy sanctions
.the 16 to 1 folly "it will not only be
defeated by t he largest majority ever
given against any party in a contes
ted election, but it will have no fu
ture." This looks like a reasonable
viewr and yet the democracy in I860
committed even a greater blunder
than the putting up of a tree silver
candidate would be. It had a "fu
ture then, but it was very remote.
A free silver "break' might defeat
the democracy for a dozen years or
so, but it would not be safe to post
pone its "future" much beyond that
period for that single offense. Ex.

THE JOKE XcZEraSOT SSSISTATIOy.
The register and receiver at the
TJ. S. land office In this city have
received official notification of the
appraisal of the Fort McPherson
abandoned military reservation,
notice of which, appeared In these
columns last week.
From the official notice received
by the register and receiver we
make the following extracts:
"On April 9, 1895, the secretary
directed this office to issue instruc
tions under said act of August 23,
1894, as follows: That the home
steader be given the option in mak
ing payment upon his entry of these
lands; of making his payments in
five equal payments to date from
the time of the acceptance of his
proof tendered on his entry, and
that the rate of interest upon de
ferred payments be charged at the
rate of 4 per cent per annum.
"A copy of said appraisal has
been filed In your office, and upon
the request of entrymen you will
inform them at what rate per acre
the lands entered by them have
been appraised.
"Under- the provis
ions of the homestead law, an en
trymau has the right either to com
mute his entry after fourteen
months from the "date of entry or
offer final proof under section 2291
R. S. In entries under said act of
August 23, 1894, he may at his
option, commute after fourteen
months with full payment in cash
or, after submitting ordinary five
year final proof and after its accept
ance, he may pay for the land the
full amount of the appraised value
thereof, without interest, or he may
make payment In five-equal install
ments, the first payment to be made
one year alter the acceptance of his
final proof, and the subsequent pay
ments to be made annually there
after, interest to be charged at the
rate of four per cent per annum
from the date of the acceptance of
final proof until all payments are
made.
"In case the full amount is paid
after fourteen, months from date of
entry youwill, if the proof Is satis
factory, issue cash certificate and
receipt; and in the event that regu
lar final proof is made, and the full
amount then paid, you will Issue
final certificate" and receipt; but
when partial payments are made
the receiver will issue a receipt
only for the amount of the principal
and interest paid, and at the time
the last payment is made you will
issue the final papers as in ordinary
homestead entries.
"The grant to the
Union Pacific railroad attached to
the lands in this reservation prior
to the establishment thereof, and
therefore the lands in the odd num
bered sections are not subject to
homestead entry."
THE SErUBUCAS" PLATPOSK.
The republicans of Nebraska in
convention assembled congratulate
the country upon the certain return
of the republicans to power, and re
joice that our land is to be speed
ily redeemed from the disasters and
sufferings of democratic incompe
tence, error and misrule.
This is the year of the people,
and the people demand that their
great champion, William McKInley,
shall be nominated and elected
president ot the United States.
We reaffirm our loyalty to the de
clared principles of the republican
party and to those great American
policies for which our party always
stands.
We pledge ourselves in advance
to the platform of the forthcoming
republican national convention, be
lieving that it will declare against
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and for a currency of gold
silver, and paper "as sound as the
government and as untarnished as
its honor," and for that American
system of protection and reciprocity
of which William McKinley is the
best living exponent and under
which our people attained the great
est national and individual prosper-
ity.
We assert that the repulican
party stands for the supremacy of
of the constitution of the United
iStates; the maintenance of law and
order; the protection of every
American citizen in his right tolive,
to laoor ana to use a vigorous
foreign policy, the enforcement ot
the Monroe doctrine; the restora

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
Perhapa the Most Curious of His Mao;
Siacnlar Adventnres.
"In a house that I went into one
night in the country,' said the retired
burglar, "I saw when I got up on the
second floor a light coming out into the
hall from an open door. When I got a
look into that door, I saw a roan all
dressed standing leaning over a bed. I.
couldn't see his face, but I could see
anxiety on the back of his head. Lying
in the bed was a child, thin and white
and stiU, but awake and looking up at
its father. Backing out of the door, I
ticked my lamp against the door jamb.
The man looked up." He wasn't scared.
I doubt if he would have been anyway,
but he was thinking of something else
now.
' 'Come in,' he says, and I went in.
"The child looked at me as I walked
across the floor, and then looked up
again at its father, saying nothing, but
jast lying .there and looking up.
"How the man came to be fixed in
that way, all alone with that child, I
could not even guess. Wife just died
maybe, but there he was and thinking
of nothing else in the world, and the
child was the pitifullest looking little;
child I ever saw.
"What the man wanted was to have
me go for the doctor. He told me his
name, and the doctor's name, and where
he lived, and I went. It was late, you
understand, but I whanged away on the
doctor's door till I heard him open his
window. I told him what was wanted.
" 4AU right, he says, and I thought
by the way he said it he knew about the
child.
"Then I went my way. I'd lost a
night, but what of that?" New York
