Ami other people complain of other

Thoy aro all mistaken.
Wo' huvo never professed to poiwoM

to cram morality down tho throats of
Lincoln people
Mayor Wolr has. placed, himself on a
pedestal of virtue und reform und in
vlted tlio publlo to fall down and pay
tribute to hh goodness.
Our only Interest Iiub boen.to demon
strate that tho mayor's pedestal of virtue
ml reform rostfl on a vory insecure and
haky foundation.
Wo havo endeavored to mako apparent
tho utter absurdity of tho mayor's super
latlvoly bitter und professedly righteous
attack on tho Innocent sacred concert,
whon tho city, of which ho is tho official
head, Is rooking with unrestrained vico
and corruption; filled with doBecrat
era of tho Sabbath, und over-run with
lawbreakers of various Horts.
And what wo havo sot out to necom
pllshod wo havo accomplished.
Or Tiiuwbimy tho reform mayor, for
the Bocoiid tlmo In ono woek, gavo
nublla ovldonco of tho fact that ho
possesses full knowledge of tho corrup
tion and vico that infests tho city. Tho
ordor that ho issued on that day is ono
of tho most unique documents that
over emanated from a public office.
Mayor Weir does not order tho im
mediate suppression of houses of ill
famo; but Instructs tho polico to iieo
that all music, singing, and noise of all
kinds must coubo in these places after
12 olock midnightbut wo glvo bolow
tho order word for word:
Lincoln, Nov. 0, P. II. Cooper, Chief
of Polico, City. Dear sir: You will ut
your earliest convenience, notify ull
housoaot ill fumo in tho city that ut 12
o'clock each night ull lights must bo
extinguished und ull music, Blnging,
piano playing und noise of ull kinds inua't
coaso. Tho house must becomo quiet
after this liour.
Any vlolutlon of this ordor will bo fol
lowed by an immodluto "pull" of ull tho
inmutes und visitors, und this will bo
ropoutcd until tho order is fully und
completely complied with.
TheBO places must nlao bo kept quiet
and ordorly on Sunday. By order
A. II. Weik, Mayor.
Now what moral principloitinctuutiug
the mayor in this instur.o? What dif
ference docs it mako whether tho noise
ceases ut 12 o'clock or !l o'clock, us long
as it is permitted ut ull. Tho mayor
might as well issue un order prohibiting
burglury or arson after 12 o'clock mid
night. Mayor Wkih in roply to somo stuto
ments of fact mado by ThkCouiuek
last week published a highly entertuin
ing letter in tho Journal on Monday ad
dressed to u geutlemun who hud nothing
whatever to do with tho urticles thut
appeared in Tuk Couiueii. Tho editor
of this puper is personally responsible
for what appears in it, und Mayor Weir
is invitod to mako his replies or com
plaints to him.
The statement mado by our contempo
rary, the Newt, to the effect that tho do
fMt (k Alva Smith, republican candidate
far sheriff, waa due in some measure to
i Frfd Miller's "clean personal character
Mewd, mm am freedom
from entangling iilllaneeH," Is all gulf,
Tin: Coiinir.il will not content! that mi
Incipient growth of iingol's wings can
bo soon on tlio gentleman who wuh
lately tho republican cutididnto for
sherllT of Lancaster county; but It does
maintain that Mr. Miller IhIii no respect
a better man than Mr. Smith, and that
tho former owes his election very
largely to Mayor Weir's reform lire and
K)llco force. Mayor Weir's firemen and
policemen nro a power In olltles.
Last Tuesday's election should havo
been u presidential election.
As It was, tho contest fought In most
liislnnciKj on national Issues, was fol
lowed by results that aro tho best on
dorsoment tho republican party and lo
publican principles could receive.
Democratic freo trailo principles were
repudiated and tho track was cleared
for certain republican victory in 18SKJ.
There is apparently only one thing
that can prevent McKinley from being
the next president, and that is death.
Lath returns from tho counties in
dlcato that tho overthrow of tho popu
lists in this state was nearly complote,
If tho republican party will In tho future
adhere to Its tradition and advocate
right and nominate good men, the third
party will never rise again.
An OUI 1'niiilly.
Several years ago there win au old
family in l'oiinsylvaul:i named Hoth.
Indeed tho long lino of Uotlis was about
all tho family had to show by way of
distinction, und so much did they iniiko
of tho long brunches of tho family troo
anil tho Niagara of bluo blood that had
tu oonturles past coursed through their
veins that people or tlio more recent gen
erations really begun to think these
Roths were of some account.
Ono evening thoro huppened to bo a
party in tho llttlo town of M , and
besldo tho great Roth family tlio guo.sti
numbered among others young Dr,
Sharp. Ho was popular and rlsinir
physician and considered by matchmak
ing mammas n particularly deslruble
catch.
Mrs. Roth hud four marriageable
daughters, bo nt tho first fnvorublo op
portunity shocornored tho young doctor
and sought to impress upon him tho im
portance of her wonderful family.
"Why, doctor," sho said, "wo all cumo
over on tho Mayflower, so I know you
will uot think mo bold in assorting that
tho Rotlia aro really ono of tho first fam
ilies." Purdon mo," replied tho young phy
sician, "but 1 have no hesitation in Bay
ing that your fumily enjoys oven u grout-.
or distinction."
"Oh, doctor," gushod tho old woman,
giving herself a congratulatory hug on
hor coming triumph. "Indeed you flat
ter us."
"Not at nil," ho ropliod, "for I know
you aro tho first fumily."
"Who told you thut, dour doctor?"
"Tlio Biblo," hu replied reverently,
"for it says tho Lord was Roth." Bos

Count D'Orany tinil Lmly HolUnd.
A story goius tho rounds is one told of
tho famous Count d'Orsuy. On tho oc
casion of his tirst visit to England, whilo
ho wus very young, very hundsomo and
not easily disconcerted, ho chanced to bo
seated nt dinner next to tho brillluntand
singular Lady Holland.
That reiuurkublo und many sided wo
man was in, as it happened, ono of her
imperious humors, and her young neigh
bor soon felt its weight. She dropped
her napkin. Tho count picked it up gal
lantly. Then her fan, then her fork, then
her glass, and us often her neighbor
stooped und restored tho lost urtlclo. At
last, however, tho patleuco of tho youth
gave way, und on her dropping her nap
kin again ho turned and called ono of
the footmen behind him. "Put my plato
on the floor," said lie, "I will finish my
dinner there. It will bo so much more
convenient to my Lady Holland.'-' Now

Growth of the Human Ilaart.
Dr. Benecko of Marburg 1ms made
known his observations on tho growtli
of the human heurt, tho fact uppeuring
thut tho incrcuso is greatest und most
rapid during tho first and second years
of life, its bulk ut tlio eud of the second
year beiug exactly double what it origin
ally wus. , Between tho secoud and
seventh years it is ugain doubled in alzo.
A slower rate of growth then sots in and
continues during tho period of muturity
of other portions of tho body. After tho
fiftoenth year up to tho fiftieth tho an
nual growth of tho heart is about .001 of
a cubic inch, tho iucrcaso coasing about
tho fif tioth year. Lolsnro Momonts,

Tho Parsces will not burn or bury

themselves to defile any of tho clomeiits.
Thoy thcreforo expose their corjisos to

tho bier to tho Tower of Silence, At tho
entrance they look their lust on the dead,

it down, to bo finally disposed of by tho
vultures which crowd tho tower.
Meanwhile, and for three duyB after,
tho priests say '.'oustaut prayers for tho

leave tho world till tho fourth day after
death. On tho fourth day thore is tho
Uthnnua ceremony, when large sums of
money uro given away in memory of the
departed. Tho liturgy in uso is a series
of funeral sermons by Zoroaster.
Of superstitions the Parsces havo had
moro than they retain. Connoctod with
burial is the tiopulur conception as to tho
efficacy of u dog's guzo after death.
Dogs uro sacred and supposed to guide
the souls of the dead to heaven and to
ward off evil spirits; honco it is custom
