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

Mr. Blaine over the Behring Sea matter.

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.

much of the sculpture of r-rient Athens
was originally painted in bright coiois.
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

A Serious Charfrs.
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."
