One of the worst things about the
averago Sunday newspaper Is the
alarmingly largo amount of space pre
empted by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who
writes a variety of nonsense that would
not have boon toloratod a fow years
ago. It is only since publications like
the Lmlii'tt' llonw Journal have been
boomed into popularity that the ills
tilled essence of nothingness, such as
Mrs. Wilcox writes for women, has
boon placed before the public. And it
Is encouraging to note that thoro are
signs of a reaction. Many of the spir
ited women of to-day are outspoken in
tholr contempt for the compound of
gush and silliness turned out by KUa
Whoolor Wilcox and other writers who
waste good paper and ink on articles
for tho "women's department" of tho
dally nowspapors.
The Plattsmoutii Journal says,
"thoro is u constant stream of (lattery
Issuing from the monopoly republican
press thoso days for Secretary Morton
who seems to bo their ideal of a demo
crat," and adds; ''To a man more sus
picious this would naturally sot him
thinking that thoro might bo some
thing out of sorts in his course, but
Mr. Morton is as unsuspecting as a
child, and ho goes right on fooling as
good over It as if it was democrats in
stead of republicans that wore laud
ing him to tho sklos." Tho Journal
evidently has au attack of tho razzle
dazzle. A republican admires a
straight-out democrat, just tho same
us a democrat admires a consistent re
publican, and republicans admire and
rospoct J. Sterling Morton becauso ho
does not truckle to thorn and to tho
Independents as many of his follow
democrats have done and are doing.
Mr. Morton remained a true democrat

Chicago morals should bo adjusted to

Ml'NHUi, ciMTiciMM has reached a high
point In this city. It has passed be
yond the musician's execution, and has
round lodgment in his legs ami hair
Walter Daiunisch's New Vork Kym
phony Orchestra mailo a deep impres
sion on the musical specialists or the
AVint and Call. The day after the con
cert both papers contained editorial
notices of the celebrated director and
passing by the qualities usually dwelt
upon by less experienced critics, the
AVici revels in dellghtover the ract that
Mr. Damroscli "has sense enough to
wear his hair as ordinary men," while
the Call'tt artistic soul is stirred to the
depths hyucoutcmplatlniior the young
musician's legs. The Call says: "Words
cannot measure the dltllculty which an
aesthetic audience would have in ap
preciating an orchestra performance ir
the divine compositions of licet lioven
and Wagner If they had before their
eyes at the same time u director with
bowed legs and pigeon toes." Mr.
Ditinroscli will doubtless long cherish
tho recollection of the fact that his mu
sic, Ills legs, and his hair being weighed
in tho balance before u Lincoln audi
ance, were declared strictly au fait by
tho newspaper critics, particular stress
being laid on tho hair and the legs.
Ji'HT now the newspapers of this
country are being run on tho baking
powder plan only the plan Is iimpll
lled until ono is fairly dazzled by tho
muultlceuco of philanthropic publish,
ers. Tito purchaser of a newspaper
today Is liable to receive as n gift any
thing from a paper covered novel to a
deed to a quarter section of tho moon.
Pianos, watches, life Insurance policies
and what not, are scattered around
with bewildering liberality, and If this
sort of thing continues there will soon
bo no necessity for stores. If a beef
steak Is wanted, or a paper of pins, or
ti gin 11.., a messenger will bo sent to
tho nearest newspaper otllco for a cou
pon. Perhaps, also, medical aid will be
furnished by means of coupons, and
coupons may bo issued passing the
bearor by St. Peter. In this city the
State Journal and New are trying to
seo which can do tho most for the dear
people, and in tholr eagerness there is
danger that they may give themselves
away, If they have not already done so.
Tho average newspaper is worth a good
deal more than tho juice paid for it,
and thoro is no nioro reason why a
newspaper publisher should go Into the
gift business than there would bo for
a bank to present Its depositors with
diamond pins or royal Bengal tigers.
The attendance at tho world's fair
has been very unsatisfactory thus far.
If our own state fair should over do as
poor business Secretary Furnas would
havo hoven dilfereut kinds of vertigo.

uitouuiiuco; tlioro are three in partic
ular. Ono Is that tlirottirli bad niaii-
auomont the fair is not mtiirK' ..nm
aKLiiieiii mo liur IS not, noari com-
pleted, mid will probably not be com-
, , , in T i ... .
plOted Ulltil July 1, People are not
fond of paying good money to witness
tho unpacking of boxes and lHiukaues.
Another reason Is that tho manage-'
ineitt of the fair has to some extent
queered tho great exhibition by the,
quarreling that has been going on al
most Incessantly for months. Ono of
tho best ways to kill an undertaking
like tho world's fair Is toget upaseries
of rows, and tho fuirjniinngors havo
manifested marked zeal in this respect
mid tho fair has only begun. The
third and perhaps the principal reason
why tho people have kept away from
Chicago may bo found in the misguided
policy of tho railroad companies. Tho
fair cannot bo a success uuloss tho
railway companies mako better rates,
and tho sooner they concede to the
popular demand the better it will be
for them. At the Centennial exhibi
tion the transportation companies
walled until late lit the season before
making low rates, and although thnio
wasa tremendous rush, It wits Impossl
bin to make up for the months r poor
business. The people of Nebraska are
waiting for a 810 or $15 into, ami un
less they get it a great inany of them
will stay at home.
It seems that the run on the Ne
braska Havings bank was precipitated
ton great extent by one or two excita
ble school teachers who possess a max
imum amount of zeal anil a minimum
of discretion. There was utterly no
occasion for a scare. The deposit of
money belonging to school children is
protected by a bond for nearly ten
times the amount of the deposit, and
even ir the bank had gone up higher
titan (illileroy's kite, not a cent of the
school children's money would Icive
been lost. Aneiit the panicky feeling
which exists in all parts of the country
Just now, the responsibility Is largely
with the people. If there Is a panic it
will be brought on by iilnnnl.stH and
people who get unduly excited with
little or no provocation. In all the
recent Hurry not a single bank has
failed that has done a strictly legiti
mate bunking business. With scarcely
an except Ion they have only been lit
business three or four years, ami they
were operated on a caitalcomposedof
a little money ittul ugrcat deal of wind.
The banks that have failed have been
blinds for the private manipulations of
men like Ziuiti Dwiggiits and C. W.
Mosher. Concents that are doing a
legitimate business are as safe to-day
as they over were, and as long as there
is a reasonable degree of public confi
dence there is not the slightest possible
danger, llitsluess is good the country
over and there ought not to bo any
occasion for alarm. If the people who
do business wit It banks remain cool
there will be no serious trouble. The
danger is that the fools who cry lire In
a theatre have their counterparts in
the business world, ami too many peo
ple are ready to run at a word. The
banks of Lincoln are tlrmly estab
lished, and as every one of tlteiti is now
doing business on a safe and conserva
tive basis, there isabsolutelyno danger
to bo apprehended in this city.
