CM USE A Nl EFFECT.
Is anarchy altogether the product of
the old world, imported into the new?
It is well to study the Mttifttiou with
some care, and sl-c to what extent the re
lioii.silility rcslu at home and to. what ex
tent the cause may be removed.
It is undoubtedly true that much of
the nnarchlal clement has had primary
education in Europe. Men without re
spect for their native governments, re
strained there by force, have come here
ripe for incindeary harangue and violent
demonstration. They put into pructice
hero the schooling of their lives, culti
vating still farther their prejudices
against contittited authority, and avail
ing themselves of the freedom of our in
stitutions for organization and action.
This is one feature of the case demanding
careful study and remedy to the extent
possible.
1'ut then is a more direct responsibil
ity. There is a breeding atmosphere
wholly American, and this atmosphere
should be purified. The corrective of
force, in this country particularly, can
only prove a temporary expedient a
method under immediate emergency.
The remedy lies in the removal of the
cause a removal of the coeditions pro
ducing the disease.
The outward manifestations of violent
hostility to what passes as legally consti
tuted authority are observable where vice
is rankest and boodleism most pro
nounced. Every city where the saloon
ia a potent factor in politics and boodle
ism established as a political crime is af
flicted with a crop of anarchists and is in
terror of the bomb-thrower. Such cities
have created an amosphere suited to the
growth of anarchy. They have permeated
with like atmosphere the whole country.
"What are the conditions of this
growth? For more than twenty-five
years now the speculative mania in the
north has run high. It had its incentive
in the civil war. Xothinghas yet arisen
to afford more than temporary checks.
In the popular centers, especially, there is
a frenzy for money-getting. This spirit
rules in business and in political circles.
Slow accumulation not satisfying. Legit
imate earnings along the whole line fail
to hold desire in check. There is schem
ing everywhere for a corner. It is alike
in the circles of capital, trade and labor.
Labor is not satisfied with legitimate
earnings for the same reason that capital
is not satiMied with legitimate profits.
The example of the higher social and in
dustrial influences will give direction to
the lower. Labor, to make the division
upon that rather ambiguous line, cannot
be held in subordination to legal re
straints devised for its government, if
kindred restraint is not observable upon
capital.
There is marked tendency in our cen
ters of population toward ruling classes.
Pojndur government is being subverted
to their uses. They are making truffle,
of the suffrages of the people. Polities
in this country permeates nearly all of
our activities. The machinery of poli
tics is used to carry through the schemes
of capitalists and the ventures of trades
men. Interest is taken in politics to the
extent that assurance may bo had that
the machinery may be serviceable in the
given purpose. Therefore men for pub
lic trust are not considered with reference
to their fitness for the service of the peo
ple, but with reference to their use in
the furtherance of this private interest.
The employment of boodle on the part
of such candidates is a natural sequence,
and their resort to boodle in office, to
render the place profitable, follows
as a part of their education and
a3 a condition of financial necessity.
The sluing of course, arc invited into the
alliance. A political necessity is created
for the enlargem r.t'of their boundaries
and for the increase of their population.
These ruling classes, in short, find it to
their purpose to feed the vices of the vic
iously inclined in exchange for their fol
lowing at the polls. Thus the poor and
ignorant are surrounded with temptation,
the vicious are made more vicious, the
poor are made poorer, the wretched are
made more wretched, to the end that
they may be more easily controlled
against the judgements of independent
and upright manhood.
For illustration the reader has only to
study the history of New York and
Chicago, and to apply the lesson of cause
and effect to every populous and active
business center of which he has knowl
edge. The saloon, and kindred home of de
pravity, is made the trusting place of
bargain, and in the discontent of a cor
rupt and perverted manhood it naturally
follo-vs as the cradle of revolt and an
archy. Men do not see that their appe
tite for drink is the poison employed to
breed their degradation. They do not
sec the treachery of the art by which
their vices are inflamed in the name of
their "personal liberty" to the erd that
they may be conditioned for a most
wicked slavery.
Boodleism, in varying degrees of re
spcctability. reaches nervous fingers for
the throats of the people. The saloon is
the source of its power. The saloon is
the home of the victims graduated in nr
archy. Sioux Cily Journal.

We hope that not only the democrats
of Omaha will exert themselves to get
the national democratic convention to
meet there, but that their efforts will bi:
supplemented with the aid of all western
democrats. Tiit; western republicans
have joined with the people of Omaha to
help them s-ccute the next national re
publican convention. It would be a
great benefit to Nebraska and all th
West if both conventions could be held
in Omaha. As great- as is the - West, as
enterprising and hospitable as is Omaha,
there are, no doubt, many fairly intelli
gent eastern peopl j who know but little
more of Omaha, and this purt of our
great country than did Mr. Cleveland be
fore his election to the presidency. The
advantages that would accrue to this
section are many if the two convention?
could be secured for Omaha. Much
money would be spent there; Omaha
would dress up and make many improve

taking "sweet revenge" on the IlEH.ua
by telling our patrons and particularly
those who advertise in our columns, lira
the Daily IIiiuald will soon cease to b
publishsd, No doubt they sincerely
wish it would. Hut to save them th
humiliation of making such statements,
which nil w'll soon find to bo false. as
well as malicious, we will depart from
our usual custom and say about ourselves,
that we have never undertaken any en
terprise that failed and that the Daily
IIkkali) is doing well, and is with the
people of Plattsmouth to stay with them.
It makes in) great pretensions now; lnt
will grow better and better as it shall
be more and more patronized by thoee
who appreciate a paper of right and
principles, and it will labor for the in
terest of every good citizen of Platts

religion, nationality or social standiar.
Don't forget it the Daily Herald is

lives and lives to live on.
Tiik tight between Commissioner
Sparks and Secretary Lamar ended a--might
have been expected. One or th--other
had to lose their oflieial head.
Of course the weaker came off. The
fact that the president pitied Mr. Sparks
and no doubt knew that his trouble was
an over anxiety to do what he though'
was right without consulting cither publii
opinion or the wishes of his superiors ii.
office did not avail him anything. Like
all such men he soon got into trouble.
First he incured the displeasure of th"
public. Mr. Lamar of course si :ed
against Mr. Sparks, but as the supposed
offence was only against the poor and
over greedy settlers, he was borne with.
Dut by and by he offended against tin
railroads, and that s- ttled the business
as far as his ol'ici 1 life Avas concerned.
His resignation was at once asked, sent
in and accepted. He might under the
democratic administration errand offend
against the poor and make himself un
popular with the people and though
not endorsed by his superiors, he could
be borne with. Hut strong corporations
whether in principle, right or wiong,
there was no longer mercy for him even
the kind wishes of the president could
not save him. The influences that sur
round the president are stronger than the
president himself. There is no doubt
about this administration being largely
controled by wail street and the great
corporations. Of course there r-re many
niai in the democratic party who are
true antimonopolists and who wish the'r
party to In- such, but they have no
voice in the a:Tairs ot the government
and if any of them get a position he
must to keep it, do as tho president him
self does, swallow his convictions and
let the power that is stronger than he is
rule him. For if he docs as poor Sparks
did lie will share his fate.
RARE MEXICAN MUMMIES.
Several lirxlir Found After Centuries
IVrfectly IrcHervtl.
Signor S. Marghieri arrived in this city
a few days ng from Mexico, where he
w as engaged by the government in mak
ing extensive arclm-ological and min
cralogical researches. He brought with
him sonio splendid six-canons of natural
mummies. The group is composed of
four persons, two biua'l children and two
adults-, a man and a. woman. A rat was
:di' found.
The? man i - notable for his jiorfeet
physical proportions and the robustness
of bis limbs. The woman is over 5 feet
G inches in height and has a finely
molded lxxly and limbs. To what race
they Itclong is not known', but it is sur
mised that they must bo of the famous
warrior Aztec race or of the agricultural
and primitive Voltecas. To decide is
difficult; but one thing is certain, says La
Voce del I'opolo, and it is that they le
long toi race entirely different from the
Indians who now inhabit the region
where the mummies were discovered.
This is proven by their color, which is
almost white; I lie fineness of the hair,
which is mnrvclously well preserved in
the woman; the texture of certain cloth,
now unknown; the ln-nt iositio.ns of the
bodies, peculiar to those found in all tie
tomlis of the ancient Aztecs, and utrange
ornaments ujx-n their jiersons.
The woman has her delicate cars
pierced with a piece of oIihed precious
wood, and in the ears of one of the chil
dren are little jioarls worked in lxme,
with serpeotine pieces of rare stone as
marvelous!- cut as if it came from the
hand of the most skilled lapidary. The
Cords about the Itody are of line ma
terial and twisteil with the greatest skill,
and .seem to have been made of the fiber
of dincreiit trees and the hair of various
fur animals.
With the bodies Signor Marghieri
found a rat. mummified to perfection,
and it is surmised that it may have been
a pet in the family, like the little whito
rat of our das. The -specimens men
tioned are cf the rarest kind, the muni
niificitioiis having taken place by tho
operation of natural laws and not through
the agency of ointment, balms, etc., as
in the ease of Egyptian mummies. In
the present instance the bodies were
preserved by some peculiar qualities of
the soil in which they were found; e soil
that absorbed the gaseous substances in
tho body, leaving the skin like parch
ment. Under this natural process of em
balming the bodies may be exposed to the
air for any length of time, precisely as if
they were marble, without fear or in
jury. San Francisco Examiner.
Christine Nllsson at Home.
Xilssou, finc-o her marriage to the Count
C'v.ri Miranda, has set up an establish
ment hi London and entertains a great
ik-rd. Her husband was said to be the
handsomest man in Spain when ho mar
red the first time, but at present he locks
mere like a German of the brunette typo.
The Swedish songstress docs not dress
we'd; and she has grown quite stout, mid
all the mysterious sadness of her shadowy
eyes has given place to commonplace
good nature and placidity. Her step
daughter, for whom she has had an al
most romantic affection, and who was
largely instrumental in making the mar
ri::;e with her father, is a pretty Spankh
girl who is dressed charmingly by French
modistes. Their drawing room is always
crowded with the very best company in
London, including not only titles, but
men and women w ho bear the proudest
titles in the ai iscocracy of art, letters, and
music. Nil-son sings very frequently at
her musicales and receptions, and her
voice is as delicate as it ever was. She
collects about her such women as Flor
ence Kice Knox, Mile. Decca and Hope
Glenn. In spite of the large sums of
money Nilssoti's first husband lost, and
his people cheated her out of, she still has
a large fortune and lives in beautiful
style. Of course she "collects" every
one collects something and her two pas
sions are tapestry and fans. Most of the
former she has picked up for herself, and
she has some rare and beautiful bits, but
the fans are mostly gifts. Wherever she
went, people w ho were moved to enthu
siasm t-y her marvelous silvery notes gave
he-r a fan. She ha3 them from ever
country in which she has ever sitng. Onu
of them was given to her in St. Peters
burg by a Kusr ian prince, and is a copy
of the famous fan of the Queen of Oude.
It is white sf:k embroidered with pearls
and emerald;!, the sticks of gold and ivory
set widi small rubies, and the monograms
in diamonds. The Empress Eugenie gave
her a fan that once belonged to Mrue.
Dubarry and was painted by Caucber,
tlie wrought pearl sticks of which aro
studded with sky blue turquoise. Tho
Venetians gave her a fan of silver filagree
and the ruosit exquisite of old Venetian
point lace. One of tho Indian princes
who attended the jubilee, Thakori of
Morvi, it is said, heard her sing and saw
her far.j, addiug subsequently the most
splendid and costly one in the whole col
lection in the shape of a gold headed fan
crusted with gems, and made of the
feathers of gorgeous East Indian birds.
The Argonaut.
A Prisoner's Self Denial.
Tins truth, that human nature is a
kaleidoscope of good and bad rather than
one stripe of plain color, receives a strik
ing illustration in the case of one Vinzenzo
Juliano, who is confined in the Newark
jail on a charge of murder. According
to a report, it was noticed that the priso
ner grew weaker and more meager day
by day. His wife visited him regularly,
and she invariably carried away with
her on her departure from the jail a
small parcel. The suspicions of the war
den were aroused, and he made an in
spection of the bundle, to find it contain
ing the ration of food with which the
prisoner was supplied. Inquiries fol
lowed, and it appeared tlie prisoner was
starving himself to provide food for his
wife and children, who had no other
means of support. On learning the fact
the warden doubled the ration, and took
further steps to keep the family of the
prisoner from utter destitution. New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Machinery for China,
Another shipment of American manu
factured mining machinery has been
made to China. It went by the last
steamer from San Francisco, weighed 200
tons and was accompanied by six Ameri
can miners, who are to assist in the
mineral development of China.
