D. G. COUUTNAY, Chairman. T. D. COBBEY, Secretary. Lincoln, Neb., April 12, 1888. - Mb. Cleveland need not bo alarmed, 1 only great men are dying off at present Secketary FAiitcii:LDssys the fraction al currency, when it was in circulation during the war period, cost the country, in expenses fer producing it and loss I its destruction, a sum equal to the face valuo of that which remained in circula tion. That is to say, it was actually mors expensive than the fractional silyer, while possessing scarcely a single good at tribute of that coin. The shiuplaster bil new before congess should be defeated No, of couisa not, farmers! Protiction does you no good whatever, according a K -- -a - r . a 10 Air. Aims ana Air. Cleveland, it is simply a blind, you know, the tariff im posed on your products, a blind, engin eered by the bloody millionaires that are eating you up. llcuce the Mills bill abolishes all tariff on the products of the farm. That is, not all, exactly, he has, owing to his dislike of the south and his desire to see the ngiiculturUts of that section go to smash, left all their products highly protected in his bill. There is rice fof instance. It w'll be protected in u horn, you know since protection does not protect, you know with a hundred per cent tariff. Sugar will also be well piotccted to the ruin you know, of tho sugar planter, will about sixty per cent. Oranges and lem ons and all those things will be well protected. This is, brcthern, becaue Mr. Mills is an enemy to the farmer of the south and wants te jnnip on him. But he loves you, northern farmers Mr. Mills dees- and hence he relieves you of that odious tariff ou wool and jjruin and meats and all those things you raise, because he loves you. Blessed be the friend of the noithcrn farmer and the enemy of the southern farmer, brethern. ins name is Alius, you know, slills is your ir enu. lne otner men who op pose the great and good Mills are not your friends. Do not forget that, breth ren. lie is from Texas he wants to relieve you of the bloody surplus. It is a pity that he JiaUs ths southern farmer so much that he will not raise a finger to relieve them ef their surplus. But we aro not to blame for that, brethren. We will take the good fortune Mr. Mills and the gods bring us without asking any questions, and soon we will have no sur plus to curse us. nothing, brethern. but the blessing of debts and mortsajres. This country is being ruined by the sur- !us. Paste this iu your hat and do not for rt to remember Mr. Mills in vour orisons. lie is a good man. And Mr. Cleveland is a good man. They wish to rid the northern farmer of his burden some surplus. Lincoln Journal. To the Republicans of Nebraska.

The modes of death's approach are va rious, and statistics show conclusively that more persons die from disease of the throat and lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone, without excep tion, receives vast numbers of lubercle Germs into the system and where these jrerms fall upon suitable sod they start iuto life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to the lungs produc ing Consumption and to the head, caus ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to continue will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and may loose you your life. As soon as you feel that soinetlnng is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of Bos shee's German Syrup. It will giyc you immediate relief. SSOO Reward.

We stopped one day at a pretty and rather modest temple shriue, where sat a clean polled, benevolent looking priest, with bijz rimmed spectacles astride his little nose. Before and above and about the shrine hung little children's frocks, their tiny shoeH, pretty littlo belts, dolLt, and other playthings. "What is this?" we asked our guide. "When little children come to die their mothers bring their dresses and play things here, and put a little money in this box. Every day the priest offers prayers that the littlo ones may be made happy after death, and havo nice things and pretty playthings when they go to stay up there with Ood. As we talked, a heart stricken mother came and tossed her coin Into the box, nnd as she placed the little bundle of her dear one's pretty clothes in the tender priestly hand, we thought there was but one thing better than this, the saying, "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not." Japan Letter. A Carloua Negro Saperitltlon. There is an old "darky" superstition which still holds a place iu the miuds of a great many of our colored population V lien the ilrst thunder morm or the year comes the superstitious negro makes a beeline for tho nearest river or creek. Ho may be seen watching the rolling waters for nome time, till at last he spies a dark object on its surface. He grabs it as it floats near the bank. With one-exulting exclamation lie binds the object around his wrist nnd goes hi3 way in peace, se cure, as he thinks, from the rheumatism and kindred ailmeuts. What was the object? The skin of a water snake. Snakes are said to shed their skins when lightning first appears, and the negro believes that winding a snake skin around his wrist at this time exerts a counteracting Influence on nearly all diseases. Charlotte (X. C.) Chronicle. The Crow In India. Crows are as gentlo ns are sparrows with us. Indeed, much more so. I saw one iu Calcutta taking its meal from a quarter of beef which a butcher had on his head, and several times I have seen them steal food from a man's dish when he was eating before his door. They come within five or six feet of natives at every railway station, but eye very sus piciously a foreigner, and can hardly be tempted with crumbs nearer than ten feet or so. There are vast numbers of them in every part of the land. In Burmah they are black; here they have a mouse- colored neck, and look as if they wore a cape. A uative hurts nothing if he can help it. Carter Harrison's Letter. The Codfish. Disappearing. In about another decade the American and Canadian legislative bodies will not be absorbed with arguments on the home and habits of the festive codfish. He is slowly disappearing from our coasts, and the banks of Newfoundland which knew him once know him no more. Fishermen now practice deep sea nshing with, very poor results, as the cod seems to fight shy of all bait. While we consider these facts our attention i3 directed to the other side of the globe, where immense schools of codfish are reported on the west coast of Africa, although they have never been heard of in that quarter before. They must have grown tired of the eternal squabbling about their feeding grounds and have emigrated to neutral territory, Queer, isn't it?

The Sain Old Man Who Head the Sana Old Volume How the Alitor Library ITelpa . Young ArtUta Visitor at Cooper Institute. Libraries, especially the big public ones of this tovrn, somehow seem to have about them something puthetic. Take the Astor, for in stance -that magnificent stone and iron home of a quarter of a million volumes. It isn't tho unidentified books softly growing gray under the gathering dust of years that ap peal to ono, so much as the living delvers who dig through this accumulating forget ful ness in search of an idea. There they sit, day after day, generation after generation, patiently, 6ilently, hungrily hunting a fact. Tho inarblo stairways huvo been worn into little hollows by their feet. Some of these footsteps have long ago lost their way in tho enchanted region of Bohemia, and some of tbem, youthful and springy, show their own ers to be still seeing rainbow visions of prom ise behind tho soft swinging doors. Minister and mechanic, artist and artisan, physician and fiction writer jostlo elbows ono against tho other, and for each ono the shelves have a different story to tell. Tho Academy of the Immortals, tho hospital or the morgue are tao rewards of those who labor here. SEEKING MECHANICAL LORE. Over against the alcove where patent re ports are kept sits an old man. Tho table in front of him is strewn with drawings on card board and tracings on oiled paper. Nino vol nines, an iorojuaing looking, are piled up about him, and the tenth lie ha3 spread open before him. For four years ho lias sat tho same way. As sure as comes the postman and the s.un, so surely copies this strange old man, searching, probing, questioning tho Sphynx pages that say so little or so much, pieaamg wun tno Diaeis volumes to give ur their secret. Ho speaks to no one, and is jealously careful that no alien eye shall rest upon his drawings. If ho were searching for the secret of perpetual motion he could not be more guarded in every action. Now and then the favorite works on mechanics are re placed by some raro and all forgotten screed teaching discoveries made by the old alchem ists in their experiments toward making gold. He is only a type. His clothes aro poor. He spends barely ten minutes at lunch during the day. Sometimes he does not go out at all. And, after all, the academy may not hold a niche for him. For tho artist the library is a mine, and the figured wall paper in your hallway has probably come from some old scroll that Japanese works here show. Just in the samo way the delicately hammered griflina that ornament your silver service may be copies from some forgotten volume, or if not copies yet suggested by something seen there. Tho beautiful in art is tenacious of life, and has a lucky way of surviving the tooth of time that bids one hope. There is no busier table than this at which these workers bend. When spring comes laughing in, a new order changes tho routine of tho library. The very dust upon the books seems to feci tho quickening breath. Volumes that havo not been touched for months are taken down. The number of feminine visitors increases. There is color and perfumo and lightness to set ofl! tho Ebade that hangs over all. Tho far alcove to the south sees pretty heads bending above colored plates in old books whose type makes it difficult to tell an S from an F. And what ore thoy looking for in these old volumes, yoa ask? For fashions. With the coming of blue skies there is an in stinctive turning to new designs in dress. And where can one get better ideas than from thoso old plates that tell of "tea cup times of hoop and hood," when our grand mothers dreamt of moonlight and blue eyes. So the pretty Easter bonnet that your Phillis wears today is only a modification of one that her grandmother found fair half a cen tury ago. So, too, when fancy dress balls ore in vogue, the old library always sees an influx of feminine readers hanging over old fashion plates, studying up new ways to be beautiful, for the beautiful is as old as wo man herself. COOPER nfSTTTCTE'S VISITORS. J ust around the corner tho library of Cooper institute has very different visitors. Like tho Astor, it is a reference library and no books are allowed to be taken away. New York has no great public circulating libra ries like those of Boston and Chicago. The free circulating library of this town and several smaller ones allow books to be taken out, but they are supported by private sub scription and tho city has no voice in their management. There is no novel reading at the Astor be cause no novels are kept, and at the Cooper library the percentage of fiction is said to bo smaller than at any other library in the world. Its reading room is the home of workingmen, and they read to improve their minds or for some specific purpose, not for fun. Early in the morning there is always a rush for the daily newspapers. The town is never without its contingent of unemployed, and these haunt tho files, pouring over ad vertisements in the hope of finding a clew to a job. In the good old times when men feared God and honored the king, before the struggle for existence became a hand to hand tight, things were not so. You can tell one of these unemployed by the aimless way he walks the moment he enters the room, just as you can tall a policeman's drawling step among the thousands that sound outside your window. Of course there are the usual loungers among the 2,000 people that come every day into the reading room. During the winter they come into the room to get warm, take a book in hand, forget themselves and are soon asleep. These are soon gotten rid of. For the past four months one Anarchist looking man has been taking a thorough course in chemistry. Another middle aged man sits every day by a post near the end of the halL For nearly six months he has not missed a day. Ho comes in early in the morning, reads until noon, goes out to lunch, and re turns and spends the afternoon in the same chair. The ladies have an alcove set apart for their own use. Many who do not have a fire at home drop in to read an afternoon away in a cozy nook. - In the same way, a number of elderly men who have small in comes come day after day to their favorite corners and dream over tales of adventure. The New York Historical library, a few blocks away, is saturated with intense and almost painful respectability. It,, too, is a reference library, devoted almost wholly to American history, to genealogy and to heraldry. In this, our new couutry, the study of genealogy is not what the library hopes to see it, and every assistance is given to the author who compiles a volume on the decline and fall of the Joneses. F.
