It is said the- think seriously of refusing" the profered fortune for the reason that it is toolarje. This is an objection seldom uracil by the donee ajjainst the donor. Woiv'ic on the World's Fair build ings at Chicago is attain under full headway though another strike is threatened. It seems that the labor element in Chicago concluded that since it was largely public money that was beintT expended they ouht to have an extra rate for their labor, hence the strike that has delayed the work for months. six The Chilians are still at war among themselves and at the pres ent time the outlook i altogether in favor of the success of the in surgents. The whole trouble is that there is too much L,atin blood in the people for them to have any kind of a government that in the nature of their institutions would not be overthrown every three or four years. Sexatok VANCE recently re marked that in the city "on acloud day, you can not tell the difference between an alliance man and a dem ocrat." This view is being con stantly' emphasized hy the political news from that section. The alli ance makes a great boast of its non partisanship, but somehow all of its actions are so arranged as to help the democratic cause. Globe-J)emocrat. Wheat and other grain is always bought andsold by the cental, in Cal ifornia which in A nglo-Saxon means lOOpounds.This is the best and simp lest way to do business and ought to be the rule all over the countr-. The idea that so many pounds of one grain and so many more of an other make a bushel is cumber some and requires much time that could be more profitably spent oth erwise if everything was valued and sold by the cental. The Journal argument against ''paying hire" for use of money puts us in mind of the old demo cratic argument that the bible taught the divine right, in this nineteenth century, of one man to enslave his fellow man; both argu ments are based upon the Leviticus Code and are essentially bourbon in jtheir inspiration. As a political Kcon omist our neigbor takes the cake and may always be relied upon for upholding the doctrine of getting something for nothing. Govkkxok Kokakek's speech at Cincinnati, which seems to have hurt the personal friends of Harrison very much, was certainly a very ill-timed affair. If the gov ernor wished to give Harrison a sly dig, that was the most inopportune time and place in the world to do it. And in doing so there, he not only stirred up much ill feeling but he in a manner compromised ?Ir. Jilaine, although the secretary wa not in the least at fault. The rule or ruin brand of politicians should be relegated to the rear. We have some of them in Nebraska; and even Cass county is infested in a small way with such personages. "Tims government of ours," said President Harrison in one of his speeches from tin-car plaiform, "is a compact of the people to be gov erned by the majority." His major ity of the electoral vote was just a, but it would have been much larger if the ciii'.ens of every state were free to vote as they chose. This is a consideration that the democratic papers which now scoff at this ut terance and call Harrison a 'minor ity president" should bear in mind. JV. President Hak-KIsox answers all criticisms of the appropriations for an increase of the navy by saying that "we are a peace-loving nation. but we can not be sure that every body else will be peaceful." It is necessary, in other words, to be pre pared for war in case it shall be forced upon us against our inclina tions; and besides, such prepara tions are known to be conducive to peace with other nations. Globe Democrat. Till-: World-1 1 era Id and our demo cratic champion the Journal simul taneously quole with approal a purported resolution introduced be fore the late Kansas City commer cial congress by the resolution crank, as the Chicago Tribune c! !a r.ic tcri.cs on r M r.

The Chicago Tribune of A ) r i 1 1 i v c s exactly what I ! ry a n did introduce as a resolution before the 1. C. commercial congress, and here it is: That a patt of the revenue neces sary for ti'.e support of the national government should be raised lrom a graded i i icoi l le 1 ; ; 1 1 1 a t all legal money of the I'ni'.ed States should be made a f n !

In lavorofau income tax for gov ernment revenues and opposed to reciprocity is the size of the young Nebraska hero whom that free trade journal (Chicago Tribune) denomi nates a resolution crank. there is seemingly' a great difference be tween the resolution reported on the ground at the time it was intro duced and the report Mr. liryait makes weeks afterward to the J. H. of Omaha. Does the Journal and J. li. of Omaha endorse the resolu tion Mr. IJryan actually introduced? K iX'll'K'ut l'l'V with Cuba signifies ; that we are soon to begin selling! her a million barrels of flour per ! year, whereas she docs not now buy j a single barrel from us.

The lie is lather to the wish in every case ana proves tne joyany oi me democratic press to the Cobden British interests. The following dispatch from Washington, certainly- contains good news for Nebraska farmers, though a little rough on the free traders. The dispatch reads as fol lows: The fuller details of the treaty ne- gotiated beiween Spam and the United States, published to-day- more than bear out the assertion made in these dispatches to the ef fect that this country, and the west especially, is to be a great gainer by the new policy. While the exact status of American cereals and hog products in Cuba cannot be defi nitely stated, enough is already known to warrant the prediction.

Cotton editor and pro prietor of Vanity Fair comes in for Jus Hearing to-uay at the same place.D The fact is, decent newspa per men can have no sympathy for libelous enterprises like Vanity I'air. The paper published by Mr. Cotton at Lincoln has proved a rot ten, scurrillous agency for unmoral literature and should be suppressed Newspaper men of character and ability cannot afford to engage in such enterprises and the sooner Mr Cotton gets out of the Vanity Fair the better for him. The publication of bawdy house rumors anil litera ture does not belong to legitimate newspaper business. The publica tion of "The koast" by Al Lwan in the Kansas City Sun, in which re putable, high minded members of the Nebraska legislature were vili fide and traduced and their names coupled with women of bad repute w-as a cowardly libelous piece of blackguardism which no high minded man would engage in, and the offe use should receive the se verest punishment known to the law.

Ktt- dini appreciatesthat he had made a liasco, and is anxious to throw the blame on Fava. It is reported in Rome that the only question now affecting the cabinet is how to get out of the American difficulty with the least disgrace. The lalest dis patch from Imperial! at Washing ton is said to foreshadow that not even a money indemnity wiJloe of sugar for fl, neither of which de- paid to the families of the massa sirable results .could have been pos- cred Ttarlims the temper of the sible under Mills bill, which the , ... , . farmers' alliance nemile and their American people being such that democratic allies are trying so hard congress would not dare to make to indorse. Mk Kisek of the Cottowood Alli ance, who signs his name as "Secy.,' is out in a communication which the Journal published last eve ning, in which that politician of democratic-alliance proclivities say s White and Shryock made no pledges to the alliance hence their action is beyond criticism. We don't know how that is, but TllE IIekald believes with men like Mr. Kiser it was unnecessary for these gentlemen to make pledges; their democracy was well enough known to Mr. Kiser to warrant no criti cisms from the democratic end of the Cottonwood Alliance. We will wager a bar of soap that Kiser came nearer voting for Frank White and Billy Shryock than he did for Sam an appropriation. Imperiah has forwarded statements that hme greatly surprised the cabinet, show ing that America does not fear Italy's fleet. Baron Fava in his report to the Marcpiis di Rudini on the New Or leans lynching, expresses the belief that there is no way out of the situ ation, as the Federal government has no power to give Italy the satis faction demanded. JUST SO! Young Mr. Bryan is reported in his vaporing before the Kansas Ciiy Congress to be violentlyr op posed to the reciprocal treaties which the present republican ad ministration is closing up with Spain and the South American states. Just so! An importer (of Thomas, and we will go a whole box jaw bone) like the democratic prod- that "The Secretary of the Cotton- igy from this district could not be wood Alliance" never asked either expected to favor-anything that did White or Shryock for a pledge not favor the Cobden corporation ind we firmly believe that if White and lower wages in this country. met MiryoeK were running again on ine granger wno is interested m a the democratic ticket it would have speedy, nearer and better market to be a mighty good alliance demo- for American products will rele crat that would get Mr. Kiser's vote gate this democratic freshman to as against either of them. We have his large (?) law practice in the fall no row with Mr. Kiser, he is car- of 1SJ2 and don't you forget it. The i rying out the democratic program ass in the lion's skin game can't be and has a riirht to run politics that played on the Nebraska farmer way. .again, we suspect we couiu twice consecutively. risk another bar of soap that Friend Tin; defaulting democratic state treasurer of Arkansas had for hi.- boinlsiiien many of the other state' officers. The result is that not until the legislature investigates the whole affair two years hence will the public know the full extent of their losses. And what is more, bv that time the bondsmen will prob ably have disposed of Iheir proper ty so that by their connivance, the treasurer's stealings would become a total loss.

TllE recent war scare from Kurope is to the effect that Russia has de termined to take Constantinople and dismember Turkey. An Abused Language. It is curious to note what vulga creep into the American language, e- the language spoken by well educated, not to say cultured, people. Just at pres ent the ear is harrowed hy a phrase, or rather a word, much used by our belles who assist afternoon hostesses at that function called a "tea,." "Aly dear," Bays one girl to another, "I'm invited to pour for Mrs. Commonwealth next Wednesday." "Oh, are you? Well, she asked me to turn, but I had another engagement." Heavens and earth, I thought, what is the meaning of "pour" and "turn?" It was some time before the verbs and their implied noun made a connection in my brain, and then the desire to stand these young women in a corner was so intense I retired to avoid a demonstration. The century has indeed grown old and lazy where the tongue finds so small a word as "tea" difficult of utterance. To pour tea is about as simple a phrase as can be spoken, and to drop the final word tea is to render it intolerably vul gar. The custom at large afternoon re ceptions here of having two good look ing girls perform this service, generally imposed on servants in well appointed houses in London, is thoroughly Amer ican, and so, too, is the abominable fault wliich has gro.vn out of it.
