Tub most Important question among
the democrats in this city now is: Who

Cam it be possibio that Cleveland will
leave that great statesman (?) Wayne
McVeigh, out in the cold?
—--—
Have patience. It Is only 1,450 days
more until the government will again be
in the hands of the republicans.
Chicago wants Gen. Harrison to go
there to reside and till a chair in its big
nnlvorsity. There is a salary of $35,000
attached to it.
TnR state senate, on Monday, indefi
nably postponed the bill providing for
a 20 per cent reduction in railroad rates
on staple commodities.
--—
Tub year 180)1 will be a bummer for
O'Neill. If the Short Line is built on
to Dunning as contemplated, our city
will increase in population, this yoar, at
least 1000.
Ci,auk Howell, the rival of Hoke
8mith, says the new administration will
put a premium on political independent
ism, and the result will be a breaking
up of the solid south.
->-.#><
It is chronieled in some of the daily
papers that Cleveland swore a little last
Saturday. We are of the opinion that
there will bo a lot of fellows swearing
from now on.
Cleveland entered the capitol on
f time and in great state. A good repub
lican held the lever of the engine and
every attendant on the train is said to
have been a republican.
_j
If any member of the new cabinet
has received the congratulations of
Benntor Hill the fact has been carefully
suppressed. David can only sigh and
think, what might have been.
Hon. M. V. Gannon, of Omaha, is a
candidate for the position of minister
f (o Chili, to sucoeed Egan. He is an
able man, and it would reflect credit on
the administration to appoint him.
-**•«-.
South Sioux City and Covington are
to be consolidated and Covington will
be no moral. This is a wise move, as no
town could prosper as long as it retained
the name and reputation of Covington.
" Thebe is a bill before the legislature
' making it only necessary for fifty per
sons to petition for submission the
question of the repeal of township
organisation. It will no doubt become

central committee.
An elevated railroad company in New
" York city has let a contract to a print

tickets a day for the next five years.
Just think of It, nearly a million people
a day ride on their road._
Dame rumor has it that Col. Doyle
hai shied his castor into the arena and
will make an attempt to secure the post
office. Gus is a stuanch democrat who
has many friends, and he will make the
contest interesting for the rest of the
boys.
Attorney General Onley did not
want to have his picture taken until the
New York newspapers began using one
of the old patent medicine pictures,
“how he looked before taking it.” That
brought him to time and he consented
to be taken cabinet sine.
The democratic party now has con
trol of the national government and
ought to be satisfied, but they are not,
nor will they be until they have control
of all the federal offices in the country.
What a long spell of discontent they
will have waiting for their turn to come.

public instruction there is no excuse for
illiteracy in this country.

Walt Mason has the following to say
of J. Sterling Morton, in the Washing
ton News: "J. Sterling Morton, who
will be tbe next secretary of agriculture,
is a splendid , farmer—one of the old
fashioned kind. He believes in early
rising, and this department has often
seen him at break of dawn, brushing
with hasty-eteps the dew away, on his
Journey to the field, where he would
hoe ensilage for an hour or two before
breakfast, after which he would blithely
hitch a span of mules to the fanning
mill and spend the forenoon >n planting
gimlets in order to have a good crop of
augurs in the fall. Mr. Morton invented
a machine for threshing hay, a couple
of years ago, and lia$ also perfected a
contrivance for plucking the geese from
gooseberry bushes, when they are ripe.
He enjoys the distinction of having
raised more stove wood to the acre than
any farmer in tbe west. There is no
question that his management of the
agricultural bureau will be wise anil
profitable; if there is anything about
farming he doesn’t know, he can guess
at it,” ___
Tns Washington Post has the follow
ing t-> say about our new senator:
"While one month ago the election of
Mr. Allen to the United States senate
would not have entered into'the wildest
dreams of the hashesh eater,If his face
is to be taken as an index to perform
ance, he will fill the place very worthily.
He is clean shaven and bis features,
while regular, are strong. He has a
massive head, covered with straight
dark hair, and it is set upon shoulders
which, when fairly jammed against the
wheel, would move a baggage wagon
loaded with lead. His lips are mobile
and his chin square and aggressive.
Mr. Allen is one of the tallest as well as
one of the heaviest men in the senate,
and Lindsay, of Kentucky, must look
to his pre-eminence. With the inde
pendence of the free and untrammeled
west, he wears a sack coat, but the
corruption of Washington life will eat
into him and in time he will degenerate
into a garment made of cloth, with long
tails hanging from it and tapping
again his legs. It is evident that out in
the country where the air is ozonic, and
whisky and terrapin are not considered
absolutely necessary to health, he has
lead a cleanly life, for whereas he is
forty-six years old. he does not look a
day over thirty-five.
Bob Burdette has a few words to
say on the subject of profanity that is
quite to the point: "Suppose you are
given to the habit of profanity. You
enter into conversation with a man who
never swears, in other words a gentle
man. Bye and bye you begin to per
ceive he is the superior man. Your
own remarks have a tame, flat, feeble
sound to your ears. Your cheeks begin
to burn with a sense of your friends ex.
cellence. Your pert little damns sound
coarse and drop out of your sentences,
ashamed to remain in the company of
good honest English words, until, as
you discover that you are carrying on
your part of the conversation without
swearing, you feel easier and your in
tellectual statue is increased by a foot.
Just observe this, my boy, and see if I
am not right. Don’t swear. It isn't an
evidence of smartness or earthly wis
dom. Any fool can swear and a great
many fpols do. 1, my son? If I could
•nly gather up all the useless uncalled
for swears I have dropped along the
pathway of life I know I could remove
stumbling blocks from many Inexper
ienced feet and my own heart would be
lighter by a ton than it is today. But if
you are going to be a fool just because
other men have bean, oh, my son, my
son, what an awful, what a collossal,
what a hopeless fool you wUl be.
