President Caehfcr- We haven't half as much fault to find with the census returns of Nebraska aa we hare with our King Corn returns. Mil. Blaine is evidently not standing on the feather alone of the British Lion's casual appendage. At least we judge not by the way the British press com mences to bluster and bowl. The world's fair will be held on time and no quibbles on the part of the east ern representatives will prevent it. If the commissioners cannot get ground at Chicago that meets the dignity of the oc casion let them come to Nebraska. The Prohibitionist of Nebraska gots clear back on the nonpartisan movement and is putting up prohibition tickets wherever they can get enough of their par ty to perform that perfunetory operation. TLis precedure will simply injure the chances of the amendment, of which our ultra temerance friends seem to be in different. McKeighan, the everybody's calamity candidate for congress in the second dis trict, has been runninj for office in that country since the last grasshopper raid and it ia con filer ti ally reported that he and his committee predicted the reap pearance of that pestifferous pest with his election this fall. However, both McKeigba.n and h: all, the grasshopper, will both fail to connect this season. If anyone wanted positive proof . of the calibre of the man, that proof is fur nished by young Mr. Bryan when he sends his photograph to the democratic newspapers of the district to be kept at the head of the column as an' election- eerin-' dodge. The catarrh fiend is quite enough for the public" without having to gaze on the exalted cheek of a brassy nnlitionn pwrv time one opens a rural Tiie English newspapers are raving at Mr. Blaine over the Behring Sea matter. Great Britian is always right in interna tional disputes wheie the question of trade conies np, and every body else is The insatiable maw of " J " r- British commerce cannot be satisfied short of the entire earth. It is very for - rnnntft that this nation has a man at the head of State affairs who has back bone and brains for the occasion. Mr. Blaine need not fear, the American people, without bluster or hesitation will 6tand by the administration on the fish eries dispute and see that our rights are preserved. The stupidity of partisan politics seems to be thorougly exemplified by the World Herald these days. With an option -.1. uic r at the head of the democratic ticket, whose principal recommendation with his party was his supposed boodle, and a banker running on the same ticket for the very important office of state treasurer, that paper launches forth 'n its campaign against Mr. Richfl-ds, the republican candidate for governor, with the charge that he ia a capitalist and banker, therefore, unfit to be trusted by the people. The low estimate the Worid Herald places ujror the L.tcllig'Trc -f the people seems to Liid its own tjrs to its own shallow inciicerity. The more fact is si "- that twenty five yeas ago the public debt w i,76, 000.000. eutf'" " e: - $151,000,COO, atd it is no .v o"', 000,000, and the interest charge $27,500,000.

Until recently archaeologists ma:nta: -cd the theory that the refined art of the Greeks had foend its expression the pure form of the marble, disregarding color; and any evidence to the contrary were destroyed, as only givng rie to troublesome theories, subyersiye of the trne worship of Greek art. With'n the past few years, however, several interes ting pieces of painted sculpture have been discoyered which have given rise to some interesting speculations among sta dents and artists. Harper's Magazine for September will contain an article by PLATTSMOUTH, CASS COUNTY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY. Ruel Sturgis describing several of the most imporUnt of these discoyeries, which he declares to be "the most curi ous, the most seperate, the most unexpec ted" body of fine art that could possibly have been found. The article will be finely illustrated from photographs and from drawings made in Athens. An Old Citizen. From Wednesdays Daily. The Bee of yesterday records the death of a prominent capitalist of Omaha, in the person of S. W. Spratlen. Old cit zens here will remember Mr . Spratlen as a successful merchant at Rock, Bluffs, where he was associated with 8. R. John son until ' 1867, when thej moved away soon after locating in Omaha, where both acquired a competency. Mr. Spratlen's fhst wife was a sister of Frank Kauble and Mrs. C. M. Holmes, of this city. Mr. Spratlen was for many years ' a member of the wholesale grocery firm of D. M. Steele & Co., but latterly his time was wholly oc cupied looking after his financial affairs, he having at all times large sums of money on interest, being peculiar in that regard He went through all of Omaha's booms but never bought any real estate. Just Retribution." Frank Laiabert, of Rock Bluffs, it will be remembered secured a back pen-" on to the amount of $1,600 two years ago and was 5 laced on the pension rolls at $30 per month. Last November he, at the instigation of a married daughter, in Kentucky, deserted his wife and two children, who are both imbeciles fid joined hia daughter in Cattlesburg,, she figuring to get the use of his money; the county ever since has been compelled to provide for thepoor woman' who was left entirely destitute. - Yesterday word was received that Mr. Lambert had been run over by a locomotive and killed so that hereafter the widow -will draw the : : f cS$jri n'd.i he .

The Omaha World-Herald has the fal lowing to say about in old ti.vni Piattf mouth yardmaster that had many friends here, ' who wll hope thit he may thoroughly disprove the cbs'ges: "A complaint was filtrt tit pcrco head quarters yesterday morning churgiiig Frtd Hayes, for seventeen yt&rs ynrdmn-stcr ox the Burlington & ili.soun railn.-.;d in fhi.-' city, with obtaiainft taaa-.-y tm-ier l.iiicc pretenses. The complaint alleges that Hayes car ried a dummy on the pay rolls in the name of 'T. Dinan.' The name was fic titious, and when the car came in Thomas Delaney, an employe of the Missouri Pacific raiload, drew the check, Hayes appearing to identify him as the 'T. Din an' whose name was on the pay roll. Delaney would then get the check cashed and recieve $10 of the proceeds as lii part of the scheme. The scheme is -alleged to haye been in operation for about five months, an the entire amount of which the company has been defrauded is placed at not far from $200. Delaney recently gave the whole snap away. The legal action was at once taken against Hayes, but Delaney will net be prosecuted. Hayes received an intimation that some thing was wring from a friend who is employed by the company. lie said that the company had been holding back his pay and he suspected that something was in the wind. He said, however, that whatever it was, there vas notni-ig in it and threatened he would give the com pany all they wanted of it before he got through." High Five.
