Seriously, we have noticed no special clamor on the part of the people to make him a congressman. The esteemed Independent still wags its uneasy tongue at Judge Kinkaid. By that token the Inde pendent editor is a little restless. The Independent and its long line of political boosters and editorial dictators are much exercised because the district judge at this end does not bend at their beck and nod. The Pennsylvania legislature ad journed without electing a senator, whereupon the governor, who stood with his ear at the wire to oatoh the news from Mat Quay’s trial, just as soon as the curtain dropped in the court room appointed Mat to suoceed himself. At this distance, there appears to be a machine in Pennsylvania politics that ought to be smashed. It is announced irom one quarter that Tom Heed will give np the speakership of the house to join a New York law finu and from another quarter that he will retire from the house to groom ior the presidency. In view of the fat it that the former proposition is sai d to guarantee $50, 000 a year while the latter is of un certain venture, we prefer to think that Tom will jc iin himself to the law firm. -<_ ■«».— Judge Howard , the erudite editor of the Papilliov,.

(New Volk Sun ) According to Mr. Bryan’s speech at the dollar dinner “it is a signi ficant fact that those who in 1890 were willing to borrow a financial system from England are now fore most among tho people who would borrow a colonial policy from Eng land.” were jur. uryan seems 10 ue iubk ing an effort, and scarcely a candid one, to persuade that all the silver men are and must be anti-expansion ists. He knows very well that such is not the fact. The position of the democratic party as to expansion will not be declared officially until it is declared by tho democratic national convention. Mr. Bryan has been promulgating his opinion on the subject ever since he took the straps from his shoulders and the lock from his lips. No doubt his opinion is of value to himself and of interest to his party, but it is at present merely personal. It is still humanly possible, if not probable, that a gleam of reason on the expan sion issue may light for a moment the darkened chambers of tho dem ocratic mind. Yet there are silver democrats, whose democracy is at least as firm as Mr. Bryan’s, and whose abilities are a good uiBny thousand diamet ers greater, who are as Btrongly committed to expansion as he is committed against it. It is a sig nificant fact, for instance, that the Hon. John Tyler Morgan, whose advocacy of silver began before Mr. Bryan had taken to shaving, is one of the most resolute of expansionists. Does Mr. Bryan propose to force his views upon the democrats, who like Mr. Morgan, cling to the old and true democratic policy of ex pansion? Does he mean to insist that every silver man shall be an anti-expansionist? It strikes us that Mr. Bryan is forcing the pace a little. -- There was much noise made by the fusionists over the change in tho form of the ballots. The legislature was accused of gross partisanship, and the change was branded as a move to prevent fusion. The new ballot, if anything, gives the fusion its still more advantage. The three parties that are in the habit of fus ing still have the priviledge to fuse and are so represented on the ballot us to make it easier and more simple for the voter to mark his ballot in support of the fusion candidate. There are no party emblems to the new ballot and the illiterate voter can no longer depend on the picture at the head of the ticket. It is un fortunate for democrats. Negros and whites are having their semi-annual round up in Georgia and the militia has been called out to restore order. Mobs have been raiding negro huts and carrying off innocent victims to dangle at the end of a rope. Often the bodies of the hanged are fright fully mangled. It appears that if the Southerners can not enslave the negros they will kill them. mm Now, that the war is over, why don’t Uncle Sam muster out the war tax? I don’t go much on the saying that the uglier the girl is the better wife she will make. The road to success in politics is straight. Therefore, all ye that are heavily laden with political bees hunt the straight road. Sarah Grand asks: “Should married women follow professions ?” It would be more appropriate for them to follow baby carriages. Always speak well of your town and community. If you are any ways bilious, keep mum, and read the eighth verse of the tenth chapter of Luke. While many dinners were given on April IB in honor of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, still April 2, 1743, old style, was the day he was born. Owing to the new style of time, computation beginning with the introduction of tho Gregorian calender, 1752, the dates of anni ! vorsaries are determined by adding i eleven days. In ten years from this date O’Neill will have five times the pop ulation she bus today, and will be one of the best towns in north Ne braska. She is situated just right. The hoard of supervisors would show good business sense if thoy would paint the unsightly thing they call a jail. There is not a board of supervisors in the state of Ne braska, or anywhere on the fuce of the earth, that would allow such a shack as Holt county’s jail to stand on the principal corner of their county seat. A long suffering public, though, would be satisfied if it was hid under a coat of paint. While the individuals are improving their property, let the representa tives of the people do a little im proving, and move the jail out of sight, behind the court house where it belongs. --—► - lappg less to tiatEeriDg EeopIe h Are you sick?

A case is recorded of an Egyptian desert snail which came to life upon being immersed in warm water after having passed four years glued to a card in the English Mu seum. Some species, in the collection of a certain naturalist, revived after they had apparently been dead for fif teen years; and snails, having been frozen for weeks in solid blocks of ice, have recovered upon being thawed out. The eggs are as hard to destroy as the snail Itself. They seem perfectly indifferent to freezing, and have been known to prove productive after hav ing been shriveled up in an oven to the semblance of grains of sand.
