The man who reminded the democratic
party that it has a nose is nominated amid
enthusiasm and called "a noble Roman";
but the man who has offended the entire
nose of the American people is adly re
nominated, while the fellows wh did
the job were holding their noses.
" Public office is a public trust," and
had I been here with a few of my kidney,
things would have been different when
tl.ee fellows were trampling upon the
constitution and upholding thenefareous
amendments to the constitution! " " It's
a long lane that has no turn." L. Q. C
Lamar.
The Omaha Herald has read Senator
"Wade Hampton's article on the race issue
in the "solid south " and finds nothing
in it worth reviewing. It is at least re
freshing to find a leading democratic
newspaper in the north that docs not en
dorse the leaden logic resorted to by
South Carolina's senator in his literary
endeavor to furnish a reason why the
" solid south has re-enslaved the race
for political purposes.
The opening gun in the democratic
campaign was fired from a confederate
graveyard at Baltimore. One, Johnston,
declared tluit the solid south was now in
control of national affairs and that old
Jeff Davis was a patriot who scorned am
nesty unless it was carried to him accom
panied by an appology or words to that
effect A confederate graveyard is about
the proper place to hold a ratification
meeting for the man who placed L. Q. C.
Lamar npon the supreme bench of the
United States.
If the great City of Glasgow - Bank
failure a few years back, with liabilities
of thirty million dollars, marked an epveh
in British finance, the manner its ruinous
effects haye largely lcen overcome is no
less noteworthy as an example of that
"standing by each other" for which the
Scotch people are anciently famous.
Under the stern law of unlimited liabili
ty, stockholders of the bank had to
make good to the creditors every farth
ing of their accounts. This they did.
But the process brought utter ruin to all,
except a few who could afford to pay an
assessment of $3,000 on each $100 of
stock. Thereupon, the Scottish pcopla
set to work, quietly and with no appeal
to outsiders, to care for the unfortunate
stockholders. A fund of $1,1)3.1,000 was
raised, and so well has it been adminis
tered that not a stockholder nor any one
dependent on him has suffered want or
priyation, while many have been aided
by loans to regain a prosperous business
standing. Up to date, 83 per cent of
such loans have leen repaid by the bene
ficiaries. There now remains of the fund
some $00, 000, the bulk of which will
be devoted to purchasing annuities for
widows and other helpless dependents.
The entire transaction forms a notable
record at once of generosity and thrift,
creditable in the highest degree to the
people who have thus turned disaster in
to honor. N. Y. Tribune.
Up in Dakota county a wily school
ma'am, whose pupils were mostly well
grown lads and lasses as big as herself,
was much troubled about the lack of en
thusiasm in the first class in spelling.
They could not spell worth a cent and
they spent their time ogling each other
from the back benches and passing notes
and things instead of studying the spell
ing book. She thought over the problem
until her head ached and then an ' idea
struck her. She promulgated a rule the
next morning to the effect that every boy
who spelled a word missed by a girl and
went above her should be privileged to
kiss the poor speller as he passed her on
his way up towards the head. The effect
was electrical. The girls thought it
would be a dreadful thing to be kissed,
and the boys thought it would be nice to
get above the girls with refreshments by
the way. They did their level best" the
first day and comparatively few boy3
went up. But as the days progressed,
while the boys studied as hard as ever,
the efforts of the girls seemed to slack.
And it has been going that way ever since.
The school mistress has finally abrogated
the rule. The school was picking up in
attendance very fast under the rule but
there js a minifest falling off now. The
boys have, however, become notable
spellers. Lincoln Journal.
INTEliESTING PHENOMENON.
Captain Friis of the Norwegian steam
ship "Viking," reports to the Hydrogra
phic Office that he observed at midnight
April 20, between Chatham and Davis
South Shoal, when the moon was in its
last quater and about two hours above
the horizon, two darklooking narrow stra
ta of clouds; the upper one extending
across the face of the moon, the upper
and lower limbs of the latter appearing
above and below the cloud-stratum. The
cloud was moving south-westerly. On
the same line with the rneon, and to the
westward of it, was a nearly circular lum
inous spot, larger than the moon, which
looked as the sun might when shinning
through a thick mist. The second strat
um of cloud was about halfway between
the first and the horizon. The phenome
non contined until the moon set at two
o'clock, when there shot upwards from
the upper limb fan-shaped rays of light.

Scarlet fever La at its minimum from Jan
uary to May, and at its maximum in Octo
ber and November. Diphtheria is mora
evenly distributed through the year, and is
most dangerous a little later than scarlet
fever. Measles and whooping cough seem to
be somewhat aggravated by oold weather,
but are most fatal in May and June. Hot
weather is averse to. smallpox and favorable
to disorders of the bowels, particularly in
children.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted? If
you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the niianing of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
You who are suffering can well appreci
ate a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are marvelous.
SHADOWING BANK CLERKS.
DETECTIVES WHO ASCERTAIN THE
HABITS OF TRUSTED EMPLOYES.
Few Hanks That Regard Their Clerks As
Above Suspicion How the Shadowed
Clerk Gets Even with Obnoxious Deteo
t Ives Cases of Blackmail.
There are few banks In New York that re
gard their clerks as above suspicion. In these
days, when old and trusted employes are
making hasty trips to Canada, the banks
think if they are not able to lock the stable
door, the next best thing is to roll a big stone
against it. The stone iu this case is the de
tective. Most of the banks employ detectives
to shadow their clerks and study their habits.
It is the rule to keep a detective on the trail
of a clerk for about two weeks every six
months. When a clerk has been but a short
time in the employ of a bank he is watched
even more closely than this. An old employe,
whose habits are known to be steady. Is
shadowed may be only once a year. Then a
clerk may be shadowed two nights in succes
sion, and not again for some time. Besides,
the clerk may come within range of the de
tective's eye when the sleuth hound la en
gaged in shadowing some other clerk.
So a bank clerk cannot be too particular
where he goes and with whom he associates,
for he never knows when the eye of the de
tective is upon him. Just a little too much
conviviality with one's friends may cost him
his Job or prevent what was almost certain
promotion. There is practically no chance
for him to explain or excuse his conduct, for
there Is probably not a bank president in the
city who will admit that he employs detec
tives to watch his clerks.
THXT GET USED TO IT.
While the system is an offensive one, aside
from the banks being justified in adopting it,
it results In some good to the clerks. On ac
count of it there are any number of bank
clerks who could not be even induced to enter
a saloon or a place of questionable reputa
tion. Naturally, a person feels, to say the
least, uncomfortable when he thinks that his
steps are being dogged. Particularly is this
so if he is going to call upon his sweetheart,
and he reflects that the detective will prob
ably not be contented until he finds out all
about the young lady, and in consequence
imagines that his courtship may become com
mon gossip about the bank.
"A person can get used to almost anything,
and we get so that we don't mind it much,"
said a clerk in one of the Broadway banks,
when speaking of this system to the writer.
"When I first became a bank clerk and
learned that I was to be occasionally 'shad
owed I shuddered at the idea. I bad been
given to reading detective stories and 1 im
agined all sorts of horrid things. What
worried me most was to think that so far as
the bank officials were concerned my char
acter was not above suspicion. Now, I
seldom give the subject a thought unless it be
to have some fun with the detective. One
night recently I discovered one was follow
ing me and I kept the fellow walking over
half the night"
There have been several cases recently
where detectives have attempted to black
mail clerk. One of the worst cases of this
sort was that attempted in a bank on Fifth
avenue. The plot was a deeply laid one, as
the story shows. The young man was teller,
his father was rich, and the detective ex
pected to make u large sum. The teller was
a model of good habits and did not touch
liquor of any kind. He was passionately fond
of the theatre and liked the society of actors.
One night after the theatre he went to a
Broadway cafe to have a bite to eat. fie had
been 6eated at a table but a few minutes
when a young man, who bad been seated at
an adjoining table with a companion, come
over to him, introduced himself and said be
was an actor. He mentioned the name of a
gentleman who was a particular friend of.
the bank teller.
"I have heard him speak of you, so that I
feel that I have known you for years," said
the stranger.
TWO JOLLT COMPANION'S.
The teller invited him to sit down and join
lira, and gave him permission to bring his
companion, who was introduced as a fellow
actor. They both proved jolly fellows, and
the bank teller was taken with them. They
were together for two hoars, and when they
parted the bank teller bad promised to be
their guest the following evening at the
theatre. He kept his promise, and after the
performance he accompanied them to the
cafe where they had met the night before,
and there another two hours were pleasantly
passed.
A few nights after this a man accosted the
teller late one night on a lonely portion of
Madison avenue, near Sixty-first street. He 1
said be was a detective employed by the
teller's bank.
"It's my duty to report to the president
of your bank that you are the associate of
crooks and ex-convicts," he said.
"It's a lie," retorted the teller.
"But 1 can prove it. You have been seen
two nights in succession with two men whose
criminal history is well known and whose
pictures are in the rogues' gallery."
The teller immediately thought of his new
acquaintances. Could it be they had de
ceived him and they were as the detective
saidf It it wa? true it would be difficult to
explain to the officers of the bank.
"If you have any terms to offer, I might
neglect my duty," continued the man, while,
the bank official was thinking of the plight
he was in.
"This is blackmail, and I wont snbmlt to
it," answered the clerk, regaining his courage.
"If those men are crooks you are in with
them." Then, turning on his heel, be walked
off, while the detective muttered a threat.
Going home, the teller awoke his father and
told him the story. They were both con
vinced it was a case of blackmail. The next
day the father of the teller visited the presi
dent of the bank and laid the facts before
him. The bead of the detective agency was
summoned to the bank and the president
told him he believed the teller, and the de
tective was discharged. Out what be had
said about the new acquaintances of the
teller proved true. As there was only the
teller's evidence as to the blackmail, the case
was not pushed against the detective.
All detectives are not like this. Many a
good hearted detective has shielded bank
clerks guilty of little indiscretions, which,
had the facts been reported, would have re
sulted in dismissal. New York World.

number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
