PEOPLE AND EVENTS. Lyman Abbott appears to be more j)Oj.-ular than my other preacher at tie Harvard College chapel services for a long time. He has officiated there for a fortnight, ami there is a marked increase in attenelancc. Gallant old Governor Porter, of Indi ana, Minister to I'aly, flinches not at car rying coals t Newcastle, and, according ly, at a late meeting of the British and American Archeological Society in Rome, llivered the ooeniri r le.itute ui ilic sub ject of "Julius Cesar." Ex-Senator V;:rncr Miller will go to Nicaragua abou' the first of the coming mouth on the business of the Nicaragua Canal Company, of which be is the pres ident at a salary of 25,000 a year. The length of his absenee has not yet been determined, but it is understooel that he mrill return home in time to tak6 a hand in the election of delegates to the New York Republican State Convention. Philadelphia -enels some people to its cammon council who bavt such un in terest in the city's weal that the charge of boodle coulel not well lie against them. Fcr instance, a new councilman a Edward V. Morrell, whose wife waa the daughter of F. A. Drexel. Mr. Morrell has to manage the income of an estate of $ 14,000,000. Miss Catherine VL Drexel, wha lately became a nun, ia the other heiress whose fortune Mr. Morrell manages. Ocu old attorney general, George II.

It is to e'oniraiiiet themselvvs every eiay if they want to. wkhotit apologiJui; eir taking auy thinf; luck. Col. Caluoun, of the Lincoln llcralel, is the brightest elemocrat in the state. Much fun has been pokeel at him on ac count of the congratulatory letter to Ulaiue, which he formulated and had en dorsed by the democratic congressional convention last fall, wherein he praised Secretary Blaine's reciprocity (scheme in fulsome terms. The elemocratic leaders at Washington, however, took a different view of the matter and voted almost -olidly against reciprocity. This, at first glance, put the colonel where ill man nereel republicans smiled at his expense. But time avenges all things and the latest news from the south shows that no measure in many years has been so l-j:i'"Uiy emlorsed as the Blaine recipro city clause in the McKinley bill. What Calhoun saw at a glance was the right thing, his party is gradually getting around to and ere long the able editor will again be the acknowledged leader of his party in the state, with an ac-. knowledges! foresight and acumen far beyond that possessed by the rank and tile of common, everyday ileroocracy. Somb anxious young souls, concerned at the badness and blunders of the dem ocratic party, want to know if this or that thing "will not kill it." Do not let your hearts be troubled, young nen. Nothing will ever kill the democratic party. There isn't anything it can ever do in the future that will parallel its achievements in the past, and as it is still as alive as it ever was, it is in no possible danger. When the big end of it fought against the flag on the battle field four years, and emerged without the singeing of a hair, to claim the right of governing the restored union, and within eleven years after the close of the rebellion polled or counted as polled a majority of the voting strength of the United States, it was ev ident enough that the party was not born to be killed. Flatter yourself that the devil ia dead, but never imagine that the democratic party has been killed.

Harry 'Hace, of the Eagle makes a sorry attempt to reply to the unanswerable statement of the commissioners. Ainoujr ether things he Fays: 1 he commissioners must take into consideration another circumstance or two thp.t has a bearing on this su! ject They must remember that we have had elections in the past, notably the bond electitca. N jw do you, ns honest officials of Ctiss county, pretend to sny that the bond election was a legal one? The fact of the decision of tl:e-.?upreme court not to be taken into consideration. Y'ou would not uneler oath ehv that the last county scat electioa was honestly con duct eel by those in-chirge. Y'ou know, and the people of Cass county know, font i- i-n frM'jris wr perp-rrated at both these -clectious. .Now if your first of fe-nse us public ofdeials, had b?en in this last v.ct of refusing to grant the prayer of :hs people for tlie privileire of votiu on the subject, there we.uid not Lav bL'en cs mttoli said ami published ou tnc- question, but as the case stands: The bonds were voted by frsud, they are ler-ilized by the supremo court. 1 ou have aelveitisenl for bids to builel a court house1, from the sale of these fraudulently voted bonds. Y'ou have advertised the old structure for sale. Y'ou have sold the bonels to the statu of Nebraska. Y ou have secured e location fcr the new structure. You have disregarded the will cf a majority of the people of your county. Now if you had beeu as careful in your public acts, us servants of the peo ple, in all of your past career, if you had served the interests of Cass county as well as you have serveel those of Platts mouth, it would not have been nccc?sary to shut out the petition, and your ex planation would be uncalled for " Bonds voted by fraud, yet," says Mr. Race, "they were legalizeel by the su preme court." Then in the name of common sense, if the commissioners diel not try the bonel case, how can vou b'nme them for selling the bonds? The highest court siid the bonds were all right, and in the face of that fact would you ask a commissioner to ignore his of ficial oath? Y'ou ouiiht to knov,' th-it the commissioners could have been com pelled to do exactly what they have elonc. Y'our loyic, Mr. Race, if one can dignify 6uch a screed in that way,wonleI clearly show that you cared nothing for the law, you want it ignored, yon would not care how many suits on their official bonds the commissioners sustained if they would only trample the law under their feet and stand with the majority as you say. If you are eo sure majority rule is right, a majority of your people being poor, they had better get together and demand that Reed, Race and a few other monied men divide their wealth among the many. When you tell Mr. Reed that a majority of the people of Weeping Water desire this, of course he will come down with the cash. Brothe Race, abide by the law and don't try to improve on the statutes until you are able to show better reasons for the faith that is in you. VVhen Bby was sick, iro pave her Castoria.
