Tho gi eat event of the) week In till place
wan tlio reception tendered Governor Iloyd
by tho Democracy of this city nnd state. It
In not necessary to nay that It wo n grand
success In every way, with thn nxcoptlon of
the dancing nt nlKht, which owing to the Im
mensity of tin crowd, Hindu It lniioshlo to
I hi continued beyond the Hrst two numbers.
In fact Mr. Shears, thu landlord wan fearful
of h bulldhnr. mid Judging from thu effect
Uh)ii thu frescoed celling hu was morn than
JiiMtlltiHl III hlii fears. Thu Hotel Lincoln
wan entirely too email, and nothing loss than
tho Capitol building with senate and house
would have boon adequate fur tho occasion,
ud even thoro thu capacities would have
been tried to their very utmost, fur it li
Mifo to say that not less than tun thousand
Moplu crowded in thu Lincoln. Tho democ
racy of thu city under whoso Immediate nun
plee thn reception wan hold, nan well Itu
proud of thn result, since It wan thu grandest
dumouiitratloii of thu kind over held ho re It
would take sovornl column to do justice to
tho event, and In fairness to tho State Jour
tail, It ran bo said that it rcKrt la by all
odd the very tost that hat boon published.
Tho Omaha lire come next, and tho W'orUl
llrmUl of Omaha laitand least.
Tho reporter for tho tt'orfi(eraf(f who
look lutlns to abuse the tieople of this elty
liocauso the proprietor of tho Hotel Lincoln
would not allow him privilege that worn do
1 1 led to other I not worthy of n place on thu
newspaper to which hu U nttachod, and tho
managing editor would do himself honor by
"tiring" tho III mannered young man who
hit ho wantonly Insulted our pjople. The
fact that over ton thousand pardon crowded
the Lincoln Is evidence thnt tho demonstra
tion wn of a popular character. Moreover,
nothing but praise I hoard from republican
a to tho elegance of tin nhTulr. A largo
number of republicans walked In tho p trade,
and a number of thorn took part in tin even
ing festivities. Several nt tho llior manager
were young republican, and it certainly
wn handsome on tho part of tho democrats
to have selected them. Thosoanor tin big
otry of arty division In nlTlr of n nodal
character, uih as a reception an I a ball, I
eliminated, the better for all couconwd. We
all belong to the groat family of Amerlctns;
we are brethrou; thoro should be no hostility
short of the ballot box, and even then the
opposition ihould bo iucIi ni. to ohtractorii j
our people a a nation of gentlemen. Uni
versal (unerase would indeed lie n danger
ou experiment It it were otherwise, and tho
democratic manager who olocteJ such re
publican a Heun, Magoou, Zihrung,
Frank Uurr and other have set an example
that should be always followed. All tho
virtue Is not confined to ono party, by any
mean.
Tho sooner our people make up their mind
that the man who set up the flrat for a nom
ination by manipulating tho delegation to a
convention, I uot worthy of tho otllce, the
better for the people, A nomination secured
by au.'h methods mean n barter and sale,
even' before the caudldate Is elected. In
other words, "tho office should seek the
maur that i tho only safe principle; tho
sooner the practical politician be shelved the
better. I here wa a time in tho history of
this country when gentlemen had a chance
for nomination; today they have none, for
no gentleman would consent to outer Into a
scramble for olUce. The only oxeuso for tho
unseemly and indecent rush for office by
every Tom, Dick and Harry, Is spoils, noth
ing else. The office of cleric of the court,
treasurer, sheriff, register of deeds, and sumo
other county office offer too great a tempta
tion by the altogether extravagant remuner
ations attached. No county officer should re
ceive leas than U,500, Jnono
should receive more. Instead ot this, we see
county officer grow rich at the expiration of
their term of office. This i all wrong, A
good salary insure good men all aiound;
and twenty-five hundred dollar a year is
amply sufficient. One ot the most important
office in our city I that of police Judge. Our
people cannot be too careful whom they se
lect for the place; and yet, several of the
former judge have been retired In disgrace,
one ot them being even sent to the Peniten
tiary. Young man, if you mean to remain
houest, do not seek office. In these time ot
plunder you canuot afford to take the
chances.
I read in the State Journal a telegram un
der date of Columbus, 10th, saying: "The O,
A. .It. convention organized at the opira
tousothls afternoon. An address ot weU
come was delivered by Mayor Regsty. Six
hundred delegates and twelve hundred la J lei
of the relief corps are present. The city Is
decorated profusely with ttag ami bunting.
Tho caucusing tonight is on an equality with
political conventions of yore". I call atten
tion to the last sjnUno, and It Is a sorry
matter Indeed that it is truj; the Journal
correspondent might have said, the caucus
ing was on an equality with political ward
caucuses in Omaha or Lincoln with
out stretching it at all. But then Church
Howe was there, and when he liarou il nut
tern always tako a Strang turn; it is abiut
the first time be is around too, and then un

A, II. 1 You whom the people ot the country
admire, and whom the younger generation
love and wish to emulate, discard political
matters at once for the sikeot tin sons of
veteran who are to take your place when
you are uo more, aud allow the offher to be
elected spontaneously, upin their record as
soldier and cltUeu without regard to cau
cusing, in so doing you will remain on a

In this to ersoiis who have known John M,

they could not find tlmu to boom Texas, Not
only this, but thu chances mo two to one

Granting that It I not, what light have our

A MAGNFCENT ART PRODUCTION.
Much ha boon done In the past decade or
two to ndvnnce tho cause and elivatu tho
tone of art In Amerisa nnd no one who ha
shown tho least Interest need bo told how much
ha been accomplished. Tho latest uchlovment
of Messrs D. Apple ton & Co., tho wull known
Now York and London publishers, i suah n
giant stride in tho direction of progress that
it deserves more than pissing attention at
our hands, a well ns from overy art student
and admirer In tho country. This firm has
just Issued two magulllciont publications,
the first of which, "Recent Ideals of Ameri
can Art," has enjoyed a deservedly wide
IKjpularlty and salo. Tho second nnd most
recent is entitled " Woman In French Art."
It would be difficult to Imagine and still more
difficult to describe tho Inherent beauty con
tained In these works, for no matter how
faithfully the pen protrny, how accurately it
performs It task of word pniuting, il cannot
reproduce the del lento coloring or nrtUtio
outline nnd execution ot the artist's brush.
It is a well nigh Insposslblo undertaking,
"Woman in French Art" 1 a reproduction
ot two hundred and twouty-flve Paris cop-por-platca,
comprising tho Uueet, world ru
uotwted oil paintings nnd water color ot the
most celebrated French artists, including
Millet, Melmonler. Dagnnn Nouveret, Don
guercau, Corot, Julien Dupre, Geroir.o
and others. Tho reproductions are from tho
celebrated establishment ot Goupll & Co.,
Paris, of worldwlde reputation, who have
co-operated with the Messrs Appletou & Co.,
In this work, aud every picture itpiMMin by
spcclnl arrangement with and permission of
the artist who palute lit. The work I n
tiuly magnificent ono, baffling anything
like an adequate description. The mellow
tints and shadings, the perfect contour of
form and feature, the sweetness and tender
ness ot tone, tho rich appearance and abso
n(tely superb perfection of the paintings are
a human marvel. The greatest improve
ments in the art of reproduction are here
apparent. Two years ago such triumphs ot
artlstlo skill would have been utterly Impos
sible. To day scores of prominent artists,
collectors, and comulsseur attest their ap-.
preclation ot It beauty, fidelity and splendor.
The work Is published In twenty-five parts,
each containing three large photogramres,
size about 10x13 Inches, suitable for framing,
and six typogravure. The price Is one dol
lar for each part, payable monthly upon
delivery. Incidentally, it may bo remarked
thst the text, which is written by George
William Sheldon, tho well known American
art critic, is not the least Interesting portion
ot the work which is, altogether, the finest
ever introduced Into Lincoln.

WOMAN
.
We are pleased to learn that a Biography
of the world's greatest divine, Charles 11.
Spurgeou, of London, is being prepared by
one of America most papular locturei and
pulpit orators, Rov. Russell II. Conwell, of
Philadelphia.
This must necessarily be n very 1 Ich lok,
and ought to find a place In every family.
No man of the nineteenth century ha so un
iversally won tho heart aud esteem of man
klud as the late Mr. Bpurgeon, and nt the
same time lived so eventful and Interesting
a life. His career has boon full of signal sur
prise and remarkable occurrences,
Mr. Conwell's personal familiarity with
Bpurgeon and his life, together with his
great ability as an author and popularity as
an orator aud minister Is a guaruntea to the
publioof a brilliant entertaining and in
structive book. Next to Mr. Spurgoou's Ta
bernacle In London, Mr. Conwell, perhaps,
preaches to the largest regular congregation
ot any minister In the world, and in mny
riwu hi work in Pidladelphla so closdy
nwemblea that of the great London divine
that he Is not infrequently called the Bpur
geon of America,
Before entering tne ministry Mr. iuuswi
was a lawyer, a great traveler, a journalist,
and author of several popular books.
"Conwell's Life of Bpurgeon" will undoubt
edly be regarded as the standard biography
of the great Loudon Preacher, nnd Is sure to
have an linmeiue sale.
This work U being isiued by the well
known Ann of Hubbard Bros, of Phlladel-
and will lie sold by subscription.

Trade Turns.
A number of years ago I suggested
to one of my clients that ho place an
advertisement for goods used exclu
sively by men In a paper supoed to
be read exclusively by women. Tho
advertisement appeared ; It continued
in that paper several consecutive
years. The actual mail cash sales,
coming directly from that advertise
ment, were two or threo times ns
great, reckoning proportionate cost,
than came from the same advertise
ment in any of the hundred paers
my client was advertising in. Bince
then I have made tliow excrimeuts
many times, until I believe I havo a
right to claim that tho experiment
has passed Into fact. NathU C, Fowler,
