Town thug Kitntcrn soclnl economists nro Just now ills cuvilng with considerable fervor thf nilvlnn lilllty of relieving materially tlm oxchmlve ness of M)lltn society. Tlm tendency has been to make wealth tliu prislonitnutlnn tett of one's social standing, and while there were, of courso, n few pooplo of nfltiionou who could not. if they so ile-ilnnl, secure ndnils- slon to tlm best circles, still poverty was oven n more cITix'tunl bar than n questionable character. Tlm lower, mliMIe nnd upHr clasne In hoc lot y have for centuries Ihuii measured by n lluiuiolnl tenia its oxnctlug ns Hint which requires tun mills In every cent nnd ton dimes In every ilollnr. A reform is proiKwod iih likuly to Imi conducive to tlm pleasure and prollt ot nil concerned. It is to mnko respectability the test, with dim regard, of course, to mental fitness. Could such n reform bo Inaugurated, who mil say thnt It would not provo n blessing to nil! No trim Amrricmi can doubt that it would. It would bo a social reform entirely In hiirinoiiy with tlm principle upon which this grand Hovel iiinunt is founded.

Tlm idea thnt ouo mnu or one woman is liottor tlinii nnotber simply by icason ot surroundings or ponnemlons Is not republican nnd linn no rightful place in American social regulations. 3 1 st, J. H.

That such n reform would be productive of great good to all classes needs no deep argu ment to provo. lly 1 oasou of its very ex cluslveuess society's tint circles nro losing their brightest charms ami mutt In time lapse into insipidity. The modern dude, so utterly out ot tuuo with everything Ameri can except bis feminine consort In the social scale, is a product ot our present social sys tem, lie Is probably the horrible ezamplo that has aroutod tho American pooplo to a cbntemplatlon ot the social aituatiou. If ao, he has not boen evolved In vain. It may sound harsh to say that the best heads in ultra-exclusive social circles have concluded that in order to secure re-iiiforcemeiit of brains, now elements must bo Injected into their ranks, but it is true thnt such n situa tion confronts them. The brain ot the mod ern creation ot social excluslveuess has be come "nlunllled," and needs rejuvenation. There Is an equally potent consideration on tho other side. All respoctublo pooplo would welcomo more general recognition In what may be known as Io;al social circles, and the hone ot teeming It only through strict io- tpectabllity would encourage right living. There would be Immeasurably tower outcasts were right-living euro to wiu social recogni tion. The inducements to gain positions of affluence would not be so apt to tempt to slu lu its various forms uud degrees, mid social rottenness in shining raiment could not sneer at respectability In plain attire. Men would not so readily sell tlulr integrity, aud women their honor, tor gold, were integrity and honor the hailing signs ot society rather than gold. Tho social leaders who would attempt such a leform are philanthropists ot the most pronounced degree, and when they have Inaugurated it, it they may ever hope to do so much good, will have done more to better humaulty than all other elements of the social fabric will have. done. It Is to be regretted that many ot those. Indies and gen tlemen who aspire to prominence as mission ai let for the christianizing ot the world not only recognise but practice aud encourage aristocratic lleas of social excluslveuess. and a ply lo their associate a gold test as rigid aud exacting as if an assayer wire stationed at their door as inside guard.

However, thoro Is soino consolation lu knowing that it will not bo nu Independent legislature.

This being tlm case, too coming ses sion promises to be the liveliest ever held ill tho state. Tho light lor tlm United States senatoi-shlp will bo a hummer. It now looks as If a republican cannot lie olteted, as tho Independents and democrat combined have a majority of tout on joint ballot Thcicls no Independent mentioned for the phce who could secure tho support ot the democrats. There nre, however, two men who can draw suppoi t Imtli from demcsi nts nnd Independ ents. They nre W. J, llrynu nnd O. M. Hitchcock. The latter, through his paper, the Omaha Worhl'lhraUl, has won many friends among inle)eudauts, although he is presumed to tie a democrat. Uryan stands oveu better among the Independents, and it may occur, ami It indeed seems likely to occur, that they will conclude to support linn.

This need be no just cause tor complaint. It was tho wise de sign ot tho frumers of the law to compel each voter to rcud over tho names, hoping that he would thus be induced to vote for the best men. It Is only when u candidate cannot bear comparison with his rival that he clamors for the strulght ticket method of voting.

Beef The supreme court has recently reatllrnied the opinion that any dog running at large without a collar bearing thereupou the name of Its owner can be killed "without fear or compunction, as no action can be maintained for the killing, and that any dog found upon a public road, no one having control ot hi in being near, Is running at largo. This is law that is acceptable to everyone, unless it be to the owners of curs, who are indeed legion. Another section of the same syllabus some what ambiguously provides; , , A dog that "persistently assails people psss Ing along a public road In a threatening man ner Is a nuisance and may be killed by any peison ao assailed. One would think that If a person pertltt lu passlugalongapublloroad In a threatening manner, auy dog which has the courage has a right to assail them, but that no dog with good canine instincts will do so. People who pass along public roads In a threatening manner are none too good to be assailed by dog. The supreme court probably Intended to say that any dog which persistly assails. In a threatening manner, people passing along a publio road, is a nuisance and may be killed by the person assailed.
