Mrn who spell stste with r hi* S and
nstion with n little n are again making
themselves beard in the land.
The Standard Oil Company will see
that the Whitney boom does not lack
lubricants, if "Bliley" gives the wink.
Let the financial debates go on; they
are a source of great information to the
general public, and more light is needed.
The rumor that Comptroller Eckles
has declined the presidency of three
national banks was probably started for
an effect._ _ .
When It comes to killing, the demo
cratic silver fight in Kentucky cannot be
put in the same class with the Kentucky
family feud.
ubkhy jnuHriiY 8 Dime ii mentioned
In connection with the district judge*
ihip in a manner that bode* no good to
Tom Golden’s boom.
Why should the administration object
to nepotism on the part of the governor
of Arlsona when It is so generally prac
ticed in Washington.
Secretary Carlisle says be expects
to practice law after this administration
retires. He will have to practice some
thing besides office holding.
Nobody has applied to the prison au
thorities for the tresses cut from the
head of Oscar Wilde when he began his
two year's term of imprisonment.
It seems that something more than
the lie direct is now required to make
a South Carolina man shoot, else why
should ex-8enator Butler and Governor
Evans both be alive and uninjured?
Recent rains have again insured the
small grain crop and hay, and put corn
In splendid condition. The chicory
crop was planted In time to secure a
thorough soaking and much is expected
from it.
Sown silver men are so sanguine that
they predict tho nomination of Bryan
for the presidency. There is no doubt
that Bryan’s wagon is hitched to a
comet; his aspirations know not metes
or bounds.
Mr. Cleveland can write by the
hour against silver monometallsm, but
when it comes to gold monometallsm
he hastn’t a word to say against it.
According to the republican view one
ie as bad as the other.
Mot satisfied with having repudiated
some of the most important parts of
the agreement resulting from the Ber
ing sea arbitration England seems de
termined to compel Mr. Cleveland to
also repudiate them.
Ir charging Mr. Cleveland with an
attempt to disrupt the democratic party
Senator Morgan focused public attention
upon one of the few things Mr. Cleve
land has tried to do that would benefit
the country if accomplished.
Carlisle can doubtless find consola
tion in these words from Pope: “A
man should never be ashamed to own
he has been in the wrong, which is but
saying, in other words, that he is wiser
to-day than he was yesterday.”
Mb. Carlisle's transposition from
"the Moie* of the common people” to
the commander-in-chlet of Pharaoh’s
army exhausted ex-Gongreesman Bryan’s
•tock of picturesque epithets before he
worlytd off halt his indignation.
Tn Plain Dealer is authority for the
statement that Hugh O’Neill’s “Age of
Thought" will appear in book form. If
the matter were to be “worked over" by
an orthograpber, a grammarian and a
historian it might be made presentable.
Pbbhafs even as wise a man as David
Hill might hare been mistaken
when he said, criticising' Judge
Goff’s recent supreme court decision:
“It is clear that the general government
cannot revise, condemn, or interfere
with such laws, no matter how strict,
unreasonable they may be regarded out
side of that state.” How about that
clause of the constitution requiring that
a republican form of government shall
be maintained in all the stalest
State Tbbaburbr Babtley has dis
bursed 1856,MS within the past few days
to county treasurers of the state. That
amount comprises the semi-annual
school apportionment. There was
mueh said about commercial customs
in connection with the recent trial of
ex-8lale Treasurer Hill and it is noted
that the business of the state treasurer’s
office is still done with checks instead
of currency. Instead of notifying
county treasurers to come to Lincoln
and carry away their share of the swag,
. State Treasurer Bartley sent out state
warrants, which are deposited in local
banka and checked upon as required.
Probably every dollar is drawn out by
check. The warranto are afterward
forwarded by the various banks to Lin
coln or Omaha correspondents and
credited up and In the course of time
come back to the state treasucr and are
“cashed” in'the commercial sense.—

The only objection that hu beei
urged against Governor Morton, ot Nei
York, aa a candidate for the president
next year on the republican ticket 1
age, be being seventy-two. It is a lltll
significant, in view jof this, that whll

Benjamin Harrison and Wm. McKinle;

The Atkinson Plain Dealer, hy O. C
Bates and E. 8. Eves, made its appear
ance in O’Neill Monday. In its prefect
It announces that it will always b<
found in the middle of the poptilisl
highway, battling for the people anti
exterminating everybody and evertbinc
bearing the imprint of republicanism.
It will be a good local newspaper, Bro.
Bates could not make It otherwise if he
wished. In politics it will cut no par
ticular figure. It is plain that its object
in life is to defend the party and receive
a division of the spoils, therefore nc
honest or conscientious expression rela
tive to Holt county politics need be
looked for in it. However we will read
It weekly. _ _
Eveiiy town has its street corner
politicians who can argue the heavy
questions by the hour, without sweating
a hair; at any corner you may hear the
income tax law discussed, while the
financial question has been parsed and
analyzed and dissected times beyond
number. Where do these statesmen get
their information? They never read
anything; they have no special wires to
Washington, but they know all about it;
they know more of the senate than do
the senators, more ot the White House
than does the president; they know just
how this government ought to be run
and it is a burden of grief to them that
they have no chance to run it.—Axtell
Republican.

Doo Mathews captured a ghost the
other day in Arkansas. It seems that
the people of Stuttgart are quite friendly
to the spiritualistic religion. So much
so in fact that they have erected a tem
ple to be used for the purpose of holding
seances. Doc has been for some time
an ardent investigator of the science
and attended a materialization sitting
given by a medium named Pope. The
audience was mystified and some ol
them therefore convinced, but Doc war
more skeptical than we have known him
to be in other instances, and put up t
job on the ghost. At the next meeting,
when the ghost floated out into the
flickering and feeble light, Doc sprang
from his seat and seized it, and when
the light was turned on the medium
stood revealed. The fellow was arrested.
He stated over his own signature thal
he had been practicing as a medium foi
twelve years, and stated further: "Sc
far as my knowledge goes all forms and
phases of spiritualism are fraudulent.”
WITH THE PARAGRAPHERS.
There ae two things to be said for the
McKinley tariff—there was no deficit
and no need for an income tax.—New
York Mall and Express.
The present republican administration
ot Chicago not only finds that dead
men were carried on the pay roll by the
democrats, but that the inventory ol
city tools is a myth, and there are nc
tools. This is perfectly consistent, foi
what would dead men want with tools!
—Oskosh Northwestern.
Acuurumg 10 senator i-aimer, oi
Illinois, the president regrets having
made Mr. Fuller chief justice, because
he haa gone back on the income tax.
The chief justice is in a.faii way of be
ing loved for the enemies he has made.
—New York Recorder.
Profane words are unknown in the
Japanese language. That is why the
Japanese find it so hard to express theii
opinion of Russia now.—Boston Globe.
Li Hung Chang is once more dis
graced and is said to be ill. His illness
is probably the beginning of a bad
attack of that well-known germ
bacillus backnumberlensis, which often
siezes hold of unsuccessful statesmen.—
Philadelphia Press.
"The unit of value," explains the
Sioux City Journal, “is simply a unit ol
value." Those who have contended
that a unit of value is an implement foi
boriug postholes will now, we trust,
perceive their mistake. The campaign
of education Ison.—Kansas City Jour

The Woman’s Club, of Chicago, it

Ex-Mayor Hewitt, of New York, re
ferred to Democracy as a corpse, and he
proved that a man is sometimes justified
in speaking disrepectfully of the dead.
—Boston Journal.
The story that Hetty Green was sc
delighted with the income tax decision
that she ordered a bottle of ale is evi
dently a fake. Hetty doubtless has her
sins but wild extravagance is not one of
them.—Kansas City Journal.
When President Cleveland speaks of
the democratic party as “the party of
the people" he manifests an easy for
getfulness of the latest election returns,
