A good deal is being said now in favor of burned brick as a paving material. It might be well for our business men to investigate it. Quin Boiiaxan, the Nebraska City murderer is at liberty. He is one of the Nebraska murderers who will go down to his grave unhonorcd, unwept and un hung. Gazette Journal. The Hastings papers were full of the glory of their base ball club a short time ago, and Denver was very quiet. Now the Omaha papers are talking base ball, and Hastings papers are mum. Senator YV. ,IJ. Allison of Iowa is coming into prominence as a candidate for the Presidential nomination. He would make a popular one, and we would like a western man for president. Queen Victoria thinks that the en couragement offered her by the jubilee celebration will enable her to endure the arduous tasks of her position during the remainder of her life. A present of 75.000 from 300,000 women is doubtless ouite encouraging. It would be so from almost any source. President Cleveland is doubtless right. It would probably prove warm, very warm, for him, in St. Louis in Sep tember, while the G. A. It. are there. October is by all odds a much nicer month for him to visit St. Louis in. The G. A. R. with the naughty Gen'l Tuttle find the bad Gen'l Fairchild will have gone home and wont be there to say un pleasant truths. The "War is Over." It is more than passing strange, and comes to us with startling suddenness this wonderful unanimity of discovery among democratic editors and politicians that the "war is oyer," and that the white winged dove of peace and brother ly love with its sweet influences of har mony and good fellowship is tenderly nesting in the hearts of all good demo crats, south and north. No wicked mem ories of a bad war are allowed to linger in this new found heaven of gentle peace and rest. Such vile thoughts arc harbor ed only in the breasts of men who arc so lost to all sense of propriety that they wish to keep sacred those trophies of the valor, blood and sacrifices of friends, comrades, and ofttimes of themselves, and are not willing to hear of giving back to thrt rebel brigadiers their loved battle flags. Did we say "rebel brigadiers," we beg pardon, it was but a slip of the pen, they are no longer so, they are loyal citi zens who walk the halls of congress and love only the stars and stripes. They want those other lost banners only that they may bury them with the lost cause, and with tears and cursings on the day that saw them lost. Yes, the "war is over" Fitz Hugh Lee has said it, and has felt pained that Foraker, Sherman, Larabee, Manderson, Tuttle and other bad republicans havn't forgotten there ever was one. By the way this is the same Fitz Hugh Lee who, not so long ago but what we can remember rode through the state of Virginia at the head of a troop of his old rebel comrades. His mission was stumping the state as the democratic candidate for governor, and the papers blazed forth with the an nouncement that the "confederacy is in the saddle ugain" and we heard that "these are the principles Lee and Jack son fought for for four years." Fitz Hugh Lee whom the democratic papers uuw ppeak of as "our Fitz' did not then remember the "war is over." Nor did the democratic press call him to task for arousing and keeping alive sectional hate and discord. They had to keep all their matter of this sort in reserve for the bad republicans who would keep the Hags. Ys, our democratic friends are right, the "war is over," but its lessons and tcachkigs will not be forgotten in this generation or the next. Burlixoton llawkeye: The rebel flags were not captured from the southern ".states" as such but from bodies of arm ed men conducting hostilities against the national forces. The southern "states" as audi have no more right to or jurisdic tion over the captured flags than has Canada or Mexico or any other state, province or nation. Our government tok the stand that states could not secede; secession wag never recognized and when the war was over the old state boundaries were preserved and the citi zens, with certain notable exceptions, were called upon to reconstruct the ttate governments. - But Mr. Cleveland and his advisors set out deliberately some time ago to prepare the flags and hand them over to the "sovereign states," of which Mr. Calhoun used to speak so eloquently and for whose statemanship Mr. Cleveland recently proclaimed his great admiration. The move to return the flags was the logical sequence of the states rights doctrine. Afaer thirty days of idleness the strikers in the buildiqg industry of Chi cago have concluded to go to work again. Thera were thirty thousand of them, mak ing an aggregate loss of say $73,000 per day to their families, while the contrac tors and property holders may possibly have lost nearly as much by the delays and vexations caused by the almost total suspension of building during the busy month of June and the inability that will follow in many instances to make the improvements this year that had been contemplated. The strike was inaugurated by the bricklayers because the contractors would not make Saturday in place of Monday the pay-day. Of course the reason for paying Monday instead of Saturday was to lessen the losses and annoyances that grow out of the habit of so many work men who have a pocket full of money Saturday night to get on a drunk on Sunday, that unfited them for work on Monday miorning. And it was to fight against this wholesome precaution that the labor unions of the city have impov erished themselves. -Lincoln Journal The cruelty of the betrayal of trust by the managers of the gutted Fidelity Na tional bank of Cincinnati is startlingly shown by many incidents which might pass as of minor importance. Hundreds of poor depositors stood around the bank the day after the failure, gazing vacantly and hopelessly into its windows. Once in a while some man, with agony depict ed in his countenance, would come rush ing up the street and vainly struggle to rain admission within the closed doors of the bank. One man from Kansas had three drafts for $900, all that he had in the world. Prly dressed, and a strang er, he rusted aloiag in front of the bank as if his reason .had left him. Another left his home in Hot Springs, bringing a draft for o00 on the bank, and carrying only enough money for his expenses. He was coming north to visit relatives and had brought his family. He arrived on the morning of the failure. A poor wo man had depositsd $o.0 on Thursday. Her husband was a railroad man and was lying sick in another stite. She had aris en from a sick bed, and said most piteous ly as she applied at the door for admis sion: "It's all the money I have, and I don't know what to do." Sioux City Journal. The Plattsmouth Journal hopes that senator Paddock "will make a better re cord than the senior senator." No need for alarm. Senator Paddock will make so goa a recora tnat every democratic sheet will be throwing mud at him before the end of his term, just as they are now doing with senator Manderson, who is one of the brightest, cleanest and ablest members of the senate.

The Prohibition party in Kentucky is in a fair way to defeat the democratic party of that state. Is it possible so many old bourbons are changing drinks at this critical timet Lincoln Journal. Mu. Pasco, the new U. S. Senator of Florida, went to the the confederate army a private and came out a private. He will be a very lonesome man in Washington. Johnson (Jaunty Journal. Mr. Powuerly saj's that "with education free to all, as it is in this country, igno rance is unpardonable." In other words, tncre is no excuse for voting the demo cratic ticket when it is so easy to learn how to do better. Globe Dcu. For some reason the democratic press never could get along comfortably with the Grand Army of the Republic, and lately it has been attacking that organiza tion with fresh bitterness. The Dubuque Herald charges that "it is a republican machine in all but the name, devoting the memory of a worthy cause to party pur poses." The Herald practically calls on the democrats to withdraw from the Grand Army of the Republic. Sioux City Journal. n- m . During a spasm of political sagacity the Lincoln Democrat says: When the saloons of Omaha arc in dan ger every cussed democrat in the city goes to the polls and works till the sweat rolls down off him in streams big enough to irrigate a ciop. But when the control of the public schools is the stake a piti ful thousand of them creep haltingly to the ballot boxes. There are some things about democrats that make us tired and this is one of them. Mlrat Halsted dances on the presi dent's cadaver to the following music: "The fraudulent President of the United States has taken the back scat on the re bel flag question. He has. as the Indian said, vamoosed, absquatuated puccagced, retired in a word, he has heard from the country and has heeded. Public opinion has penetrated tho hide of the executive rhinocerous. The gigantic neck that is the boast of the democracy has been bowed in stolid submission. The prestige of Mr. Cleveland, built upon a series of fictions, and assumptions, 1ms suffered irreparable damage. He has been knocked down and dragged out, This is the slashing beginning of the speedy end of him." Ex. Comment in a great many solid south papers on the subject of the captured rebel Hags indicate a disposition with re gard to President Cleveland to accept the will for the deed, and so far as he is concerned, to accept as done the surren der which he wanted to make, but which ne was prevented irom making by cir cumstances over which he had no control. A leading southern paper, which glorifi ed Cleveland for ordering the surrender, says: "Although it is indubitable that the president's order is reciuded for the reason that he gives, and for no other reason, plenty of persons will believe that the Ohio and Iowa protests caused the change of front. This is unjust Anu mere is corroboration tor tins con clusion. The significant terms in which the order of countermand was couched as wen as tne elaborate statement given out from the white house, clearly show, and by studied implication discloses, that the President's heart was behind the original surrender, or that he desires it to be so understood at least in the south And the staff correspondent of the New York Herald, a paper Jwhich has been the especial champion of the administra tion, and by it accorded extraordinary access to official information retrardins: its sentiment, reports thus: "The reason the president gave for revoking his con sent.is known to everybody; buttuepres dent. it can be said, has not changed his sentiment a particle." A.nd then this positive statement is made; "l it were something that could be done at will he would renew his ajproval of the sugges" tion t morrow." That, in all probabili ty, is just about the truth of the whole business. Sioux City Journal. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at F. G.

(3) Alien Laws The alien land law recently enacted by the Illinois Legislature is the most sweep ing in its provision of that of any of tlje States. It prohibits any non-resident alien, firm or corporation from taking land by devise, descent or purchase, pro vided that in the care of heirs of aliens now owning land in the State they may take by devise and hold the same three years if of age, and live years if not, and if at the expiration of cither such periods, as the case may be, they do not become citizens, their lands shall csch;at to the State. Aliens may acquire title to real es tate by declaring intention to become citizens according to the laws of the United States, and on such declaration may hold title for six years, but if at the end of such period they have not become citizens, then their lands escheat to the State. A law of Congress prohibits alien ownership of real estate, but this only af fects territories. The Illinois law permits non-resident aliens to own personal prop erty, loan money, take mortgages, ami acquire title to real estate by foreclosure and sale, but they must dispose of such title within three years or the property escheats to the State. In Nebraska a non-resident alien may acquire title and hold it under no other restrictions than apply to citizens of the country. He nuiy acqure title to all valuable lands ef a county, or of State, if he has the money to pay them, and may hold the same so lon the the for as he chooses for speculative purposes, and there is no power on earth to prevent him. Nebraska needs a law similar to that of Illinois. No argument except that based on sentiment can be advanced for permitting foreigners, who refuse to become citizens of this country, all the advantages with none of the penalties of citizenship. An Englishman may own thousands or millions of acres of land in Nebraska, and by his ownership may re tard the progress of communities, but shielded behind his British citizenship he may avoid jury or military duty, or any seryice of any kind for the State or Na tion. His property can be taxed, the same as that of a citizen, but that is all. This is all wrong, and Nebraska should follow the example of Illinois and apply a remedy.

Hone of Kxtinet Animals I'onnd "'asliintii Territory A THonHtcr. W. JM. L the well known fruit ltouvi In of Tneoma,;jjivfs the particulars of a wonderful discovery of loin s (if extinct animals in AVnhInglo!i territory which will attract tho attention of students of natural history an 1 aivha'ojogy all over tho world. In u 1 tter to The Jjcilger from Spokane Fails lie says: "Tho lace of the whole territory shows un mistakalile evidence of great volcanic up heavals. On my trip through Kpokano county I stopped at batah, and in conversa tion with Mr. Coplcii, of that pla'v, regarding the volcanic formation of that section, he in formed me that he had examined s.nne largo bones of great antiquity. Accompanied by Mr. Coplen 1 went to tho spring when; tho relies were dug out. It is located on a low strip of springy prairie. The excavation around the spring is twelve to fifteen feet deep and thirty or forty across. Tin; bones were covered by several distinct laj-crs. "The first layer was ancient peat; then gravel, then volcanic ushes, then a layer of coarse peat. From this spring were tuken no less than nine mammoths, or elephants, of different sizes; tho remains of a cave bear, and hyenas, extinct birds, and a sea turtle. Tho dimensions of some of the bones of tho larger mammoth were wonderful to look at. Tho horns were a sort of tusk and protruded from tho head just below tho eyes, extending downward below tho jaws, then upward over the head. By dropping the dead in tho act of feeding, tho circles of the horns that extended below tho jaws partially rested on tho ground, giving support to the head, which is estimated to have weighed a ton. "The horns were worn away several inches deep at tho bottom of tho turn, or half circle, indicating constant use by rubbing on tho ground or rocks. One of these horns was ten feet and one inch long, and twenty-four inches in circumference. It weighed 1 it pounds. One of the tusks measured twelvo feet and nine inches in length and twenty seveu inches around. It weighed pounds. The jaw weighed sixty-threo pounds. The molar teeth weighed eighteen pounds each. Somejof thtjribs wereeight feet long. The pel vic arch was six feet across, anil an ordinary man could walk civet through this opening. This huge and antique monster was eighteen feet and six inches high and was estimated to weigh twenty tons." Taeoina Ledger. Lessons In Dramatic Aef.ion.
