It is conceded that a federal bank
ruptcy law is needed in the interest alike
cf debtors and creditors; and itjis hoped
that the torj bill be adopted by the senate
as it is adapted admirably to the want in
very way.
The Louisiana Lottery Company have
cent a lobby to Washington to work
gainst the bill excluding literature from
passing through the mails. This bill
should pass eyen if a special rule has to
be made to fit the case.
Thk Fort Worth Gaaette sneeringly
alludes to "President Harrison's habit of
holding family prayers." The Gazette
says, "Cleveland did not do it." He
perhaps felt that he was too large a man
for that 1
Thk big eastern states are awakening
to the knowledge that the scepter of
supremacy, in population, will eoon pass
to the west side of the Allegh?nies. In
1920, perhaps iu 1910, the Empire State
will be in the Mississippi Yalley.
Thk Louisiana Lottery Company has
bought the democratic state of Louisiana
but it cannot buy the republican con
gress. A bill ii before the house com
mittee on postoffice, which, if enacted,
will make lottery men's triuniph in
Louisiana, worthless, and it should be
passed this session; but if it does not it
will undoubtedly be the first measnre
that will pass the next session.

U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 18S9.
How is this for high? "The water for
the recent state democratic convention
held at Nashyille cost $40 per day" so
says the Nashville Banner. When a
democratic state convention begins to
pay f 40 per day for water democracy has
done gone back on first principles.
Gov. Boies, of Iowa, is a democrat
after the New York Times' own heart.
He is turning the rascals out. His latest
is the commutation of Fred Mencrath's
penitentiary sentence from two years to
three months. Muncrath is one of the
Haddock murder conspirators. Wy

Ir it were not fot the obstruction tac
tics of the democrats, the senate could
dispose of all the important bills on its
calendar inside of a week. That is to
say, the session is being prolonged and
the public business delayed simply to
gratify a spirit of partisan spite and b
tinacy.
NOT SO, VERY ABSURD.
The score or more of incendiary fires
in and around Topeka, Kas., daring the
past two or three months is tolerably
good proof that revengeful dispositions
influenced with original package poison
have become barn burners in retaliation
for steps taken to remove the nuisances.
It may be that a maniac with matches
is abroad within the city limits, but it is
altogether probable that the fiend is pos

ral insanity. Lincoln News.
SWIMMING FOR BOYS.
"Ihbvbr would allow my boy to
learn to swim," said the mother of an
only son; "and I never could bear to
have him in a boat, Skating I always
detested, and ball-playing I consider
vulgar. He had a horse for riding, and
he was always allowed to walk as much
as he chose." (!)
Her hearers understood why it was
that her son had grown up to be a Bar- j
row-chested and delicate man, and were
made all cash in

thankful that he was permitted to .o
out-dooro at all in his boyhood.
Fortunately this young man had pos
sessed a strong love for walking, and
also for study, which had kept him from
inanition, and fclso out of mischief. But
for an active, full-blooded boy not de
cidedly Btudious, such a bringing-up as
has been described would have meant
either ruin or death.
There is no need to descant upon the
manifold attractions and uses of swim
ming. All proper precautions for his
safety should be taken, but your boy
6hould learn to swim. Never let him go
into the water unless he i9 well; neither
let him go alone or with flighty boys
only, even when he has mastered the art
of natation cramps and accidents are
too common for that. Keep him away
from rapids and whirlpools, and impress
upon him at every opportunity, by anec
dote, precept, and example, the necessity
of exercising prudence in the matter.
Especially Bee that he is familiar with
remedies for cramp, and with modes of
reviving the drowned. Many a yaluable
life has been lost because a boy's com
panions did not understand how to use
proper restoratives when his body was
first recovered from the water. Kate
Upson clark, in Harper's Bazar.
Amendment Notes. Last Excuse.
1. D. M. BUCKNER.
Some one told me last week that sev
eral, who live in Plattsmouth, had said:
"I expected to vote for the prohibitory
amendment, but if the "third party"
puts a ticket in the field I will vets
against it." This is surely the last ex
cuse. I did not think we had a man in
Nebraska narrow enough or mean
enougn to say that, much less in Platts
mouth. I think it mast have been a
joke.
Why think of a democrat saying, T
will vote f er the amendment if the re
publicans don't put a ticket in the field"
or a republican saying, "I will vote fer
the amendment if the farmers' alliance
don't put a ticket in the - field."
Or think of a man who was going to
rote for the prohibitory amendment
from principle, because he thought it
was right, and his brother did something
he did not like, so he said, "I will vote
against the amendment, so I will."
I just want to say here, that it is mj
candid conviction that any man who
would yote igdnst the amendment be
cause the "prohibs" put up a ticket,
would yote against it anyway. Let us
stand by our convictions in this content
between the home and the saloon.
The license law is against the mother's

influence and prayers, tlie churches oj
the Hying God and the morals of 6ocie?y.
For it is a compromise with Bin for
money. For you know, that it the
saloon was valuable iu itself to society
we would not charge a man $1000 for
the right to run one.
Would you be willing to grant the
T ght for a gambling house for $1000,
do you believe it would help the city.
Wculd it not bo better for a man to
spend his money in a gambling house
than u saloon. The mother tells her boy
about the dangers of the saloon and the
evils of drink; but he says five of the
best business men of our city have given
this man the right to run a saloon, and
they have said it is better for us and our
town to Lave a saloon; now mother, do
you believe these men would let this man
run a saloon if it was so bad as you
tbiukf
I know you are honest and love me
dearly but your judgment is not as good
as these five men. The license law de
stroys the endeavors of the mother to
rear her boy sober.
The license law produces a public sen
timent in favor sf the saloon and
against eebriety.
Yet men say, "wait till public senti
ment is ripe for prohibition," and at the
same time these men are doing all they
can to create public sentiment against
prohibition.
A prohibitory law will do much to
change public sentiment.
At the Tabernacle.
The first of the temperance camp
meetings was held in the tabernacle on
court house hill last sight. There was a
large audience, and very good order pre
vailedfwitbin the tent, but it is much to
be regretted that the manager of the
meetings found it necessary to rebuke
those hanging areund the outside of the
tent for disorderdly conduct The meet
ing was a little tardy in opening, but was
appreciated as the services progressed.
After appropriate songs by the choir,
Col. T. B. Demaree, of Kentucky, deliv
ered a short but very forcible address
upon the temperance question, in which
he said the eyes of the world were upon
Nebraska, and if prohibition carries in
this state next November it will not be
twenty-flye years till the drink habit will
be almost universally crushed out of ex
istence. But, if on the other hand the
saloons carry their amendment, and
make it a part of the fundamental law
of the state, the result would be disas
trous to the home, to good morals and
good government.
The speaker closed his remarks and

An Important Dectolon.
Hon. M. D. Polk received word this
morning from his attorney O. W. Co veil,
that the suit of A. H. Roberts trustee, vs.
M. D, Polk et al in the United States
court had been decided in his favor, by
Judge Dundy. This suit involved some
$10,000 or $12,000 worth of property in
this city. This property was bought
years ago when property was cheap, by
Mr. Polk, for $4,000 and two years ago
A. H. Roberts as trustee of the estate, em
ployed Conger, Clarkson & nunt, attor
niee in Omaha, and brought suit to re
cover this property. Mr. Polk employed
Mr. Covell and after a long suit he has
won, consequently Mr. Polk feels quite
happy today.
