TllE New York Sun finds that Mr.
Cleveland will not take part in the
cninpagiii in Ohio. "Hec.iuse it is

afraid of the Hamilton county de

THE first cargo of American wheat

harbor at Galveston a large part of
that region must go via that port to
European markets.
As the summer wanes and the
cheerless days of Autumn grow
apace, the democratic candidate
for the presidency in the person of
Grover Cleveland sees his hopes of
a second term grow less and less.
Kven the support of David I. Hill
would not save the "stutTed proph
et" now. The west does not want
him, the south ignores him, and
the east will never again endorse
him. The Cleveland star is on the
decline.
TllE harvest excursions from the
east are nowan assured fact. The
recalcitrant railroads have weak
ened and definite arrangements
have been agreed upon. There
never was a time since Nebraska
settlement that she wore a prettier
dress or looked more bewitch ingly
handsome than right now; it is
therefore with more than usual
pleasure that we can look forward
to the coming of our eastern friends.
The house is in order, and if the

fair young Nebraska the fault will
all be -with the visitor and not with

This ought to afford a great

deal about the republican chair
man, for fear that he might not be
a "purist" in politics. It is certain

of Tweed and Tammany interested
in the personality of the republican
chairman, because of their desire
for clean politics. When that party

A special meeting of colored
citizens convened Saturday at Lin
coln, where some rather vigorous
resolutions were adopted censuring
(rightly, we believe) the republican
party for its failure to pass the
force bill and protect the colored
man in the South in the exercise of
the full rights and duties of Amer
ican citizenship. We used to think
that a colored man who voted any
thing but the republican ticket was
an ingrate and a knave, but since
certain would-be leaders of that
party have lacked the manhood and
moral stamina to stand by the plat
form and principles of the organi
zation to the extent that the rights
of the colored man are ignored and
trampled under foot in the South,
his very life being at times endan
gered by the democratic clans in
states and counties where tne
colored man predominates, we
have changed cur views. While
it seems harsh to assist indirectly
the party of old slave owners that
held them in bondage and fought
to continue the crime, yet there
must be some pleasure in thus dis
ciplining pretended political
friends. The Omaha Bee. the Lin
coln Call and a few other pretended
republican newspapers in this state
made a vigorous tight against the
force bill, but as their repub
licanism is of a superficial kind it
is not likely that a lesson such as
the colored men of Lincoln propose
to teach would have any impres
sion. Republican supremacy and
true old-time republican principles
when menaced do not interest
papers of the above class. If the
colored folks can get any grim sat
isfaction out of joining the inde
pendents we can't at present find
any excuse for raising an objection.

A BATCH OF FALSEHOODS RE
FUTED. The persistence of the free-trade
liar is wonderful. No sooner is he
confuted as to his false statement
concerning the "higher price of
shoes on account of the tariff" by
evidence that the new tariff has re
duced the duty on shoes, on sole
leather, and on most things used in
the manufacture of shoes, and has
not increased it on anything used
in them, than he utters a new false
hood concerning hats, or some
thing else. His last eilorts arc-disclosed

As ;o prices oi window glass and

several large wholesale houses,
with results as ioI'iws:
?Ir. A. S. Tyler, of the firm of
Tyler .v Hippach, says: "Iv.act
figures on the pi ice of window and
plate glass can not be- given. In
September of W.i;) (the last month of
operation of the old tariff law), glass
was quite high, the factories having
been raising the price regularly
every thirty days for several
months. In January, IS'.tl (three
mouths aiter the McKinley bill had
taken effect), there was a decline in
factory prices of about 2a per
cent. Since then there has been an
increase in price of from ." to 1") per
cent. There is every indication
that there will soon be another long
break in prices. The increase in
the duty on glass had no effect, as
shortly after the law went into
effect there was the decrease of 25
per cent previously mentioned. On
colored glass the duty is almost
prohibitive, and yet the American
manufacturers are about to an
nounce a decrease in the ju ice."
A member of the firm of H. W.
Kisendrath Sc Co., said: "Glass is
.i.ly 15 per cent cheaper than it
was last year. The increase of the
duty on glass has not added to the
rrii -e (if dass. and it may have
r s- '
been the cause of he reduction."
I. H. Clow, of the firm of J. Ii
Clow & Son. said: Lead piping is
;- iw t.v-:i- ;it'fr"-ted bv the dutv. as
not a pound of it is imported. The
price of it varies according to tlu
price of pig lead."
Xnw as to tariff rates, the lan-
..-.,...-. .-f ilie Mi-kin cv bill is:
"Lead in sheets, pipes, shot, gla
zier's lead, and lead wire, 2lo cents
per pound." Under the old law the
duty was cents. As to common

Temple of the Revolution at JNewbtu g

army was cantoned near Newburg in
1783 there was deep discontent among
both officers and men because they cot. Id

a circular was secretly distributed in or
der to brm' about a somewhat seditious
meeting at what was called a temple, a

was intended that the army shorn u

Ago Not the Cause of Gray Hair.
The members of a family in Washing
ton n fL. which includes two niiysi-
cians, lose the color of their hair usually
between the ages of twelve and twenty
years; while Mrs. Sally Davis, of Ken
tuekv. is cited bv Dr. C. H. Leonard, an
authority on the hair, as possessing soft.
brown, silky locks witnout a smer
thread among them when over seventy
ve;irs of aire.
w - u
That hair usually becomes gray as we
advance in years is true, but the active
causes for this change must evidently
lie in the organism itself or in the condi
tions to which it is subjected, and uot in
the mere fact of increasing years.
Hyland C. Kirk in New York Times.
One of the old landmarks of St. Louis
is the fine stone mansion on Chouteau
that was once the home of
Thomas Hart Benton. A fact of singu
lar interest in counectien with the old
hnnsfi is that it became in war times the
hpadmrnrters of General Fremont, the
unwelcomed suitor who, against Senator
Benton's wishes, courted and won hi
daughter, now Jessie Bentou b remont.
That the hair is a sort of vegetable ap
tendix to the body is shown in the fact
that it continues to srow as long as it
has a soft cell forming matrix at its
root, and there seems to be no improoa
bility, in many cases reported, where
the hair haa grown after death. The
color of the hair at the time of death is
said to be retained in such cases.
Talro all th slppn von can eret. but re
member that the necessary amount varies
greatly for different persons. Some must
sleep at least nine hours, while others
thrive under six. Only don't rob your
self of what you really need. The "mid

nant to burn either for purposes of labot
or study.
No one should play games who is in
capable of concealing the fact that he
has lost his temper. There was once a
man who continued plaj-ing, in despite
this icaxim, till he lost all his friends
but one. Now he plays patience, and
when things go badly, is for days not on
speaking terms with that one which is
himself.

How Iog9 Are Stolen in Haris.
Dog stealers in Paris have two prin
cipal means of getting hold of the ani
mal they want. First of all they find
out the dog's habits, the liberty he is al
lowed, the hours that he takes an airing
either alone or with a servant, and mak.n
their arrangements accordingly. They
eometimes prowl around a house for a
week before obtaining all the informa
tion they need. When they learn where
they can meet the animal, they attract
him by some sort of bait, or make him
follow a bitch, which they lead with a
string.
In a narrow street it is easy to approach
the dog and pat him. If he is not very
savage, the offer of something to eat ren
ders him confiding; the thief, who has a
elipnoose ready, passes it around the
dog's neck, and the game is bagged. On
the boulevards and in the public parks,
where dogs usually follow their masters
cr mistresses without being held by a
cord, the thieves always use a second
animal, and as soon as the dog comes
near enough to the decoy brute the lai-o
id thrown and the gallant captured.
