THE DAILY HERALD : i'LiiriSfliouixi, riiiiKASKA, FHIDA V, OCTOliEft to r 'ill i: Sill-ATI! 01' CUSTOM. HAVu-WZ T.CACHED THZ VERY METHODS OF LIVING? Our I'roiicnc Ik Honor Custom ami 1'riu-t Ii- .M.npl)- Itccaiino llv-rj lxxly I;iso jVh'4-IIiiw Murh I nriutoiiuble ninl Uow .IXim-Ii la .M-r-ly Arbitrary? Every human being pnnvn up Inshlo n dieath of custom, which enfolds It as the Hwat hing dot hes enfold tho infant. Tho sacred customs of oho'h own early home, how and immutablo they appear to Ihcchilill It Hurcly thinks that ull tlio worM in all times has proceeded on tho Kaino lines which houmi its tiny life. It refiii-d.-i a breach of these rules (xomo of them, at lcust) as u wild htep in tho dark, loading to iitikiiown dangers. The elders liuvu always said (and, indeed, it seems only reasonable) that by this time of day everything has been so thoroughly worked over that tlm best methods of ordering otir life food, dress, domestic practices, ttrx-ial habits havo long ago been deter mined. If so, why the.so divergences in tho simplest and most obvious matters? And tlieu ono thing after another f,rve3 way. The nacred, world wide customs in which we aro bred turn out to bo only the practices of a small or narrow castoor cla-Hc; or they prove to bo confined to a very limited locality, and must Ik? left be hind when wo get out on our travels; or they Irf-long to tho tenets of a feeble sect; or they are just tho products of one ago hi history and no other. Are there really no natural boundaries? lias not our life any where been founded tii rousoti and necessity, but only on arbi trary custom:-? What is more imjort:njt than fix id, yet in what human ma'.ter are 1 here inure arbitrary divergences of prac tice? The Scotch Highlander flourishes on oatmeal, which tho English Nheilii-hl iron worker would r;itlicr starve then eat; the fat snail which tho Roman country jvutleman once so pri.td now crawls mi ne, i.-sted ill English or American gardens; rabbits nre tabooed in (iermany; frogs are lirisjie;ihaliii in England; sauerkraut is detected i:i 1'ninee; many races and gangs of peopl.i r.r" quite certain they would die if deprived f meat; others thi'ik spirits of some kind a necessity, v.iii!! to others again both these things are uii abomination. AMI YLT, WHY NOT? Every district has its local practices in fixxl. and tie) peasants look, with the greatest suspicion ori any new dish, and can rarely be induced to adopt it. Though it lias ln-en ubiinduutly proved that many of tho fungi are excellent eating, such is the force f custom that the mushroom nione is ever publicly recogni.ed, while curiously enough it is said that income other countries where tho claims of other agarics are allowed tho mushroom itself Is not used. Finally, I feel myself (and the gentle reader probably feels the same) that I would rather flio than subsist on insects, such Is the deep seated disgust we experience toward this class of food Yet it is notorious that many races of respectable people adopt a diet of this port, and only lately ,i l.ok has been pub lished giving a detail of excellent proven ier of tiie kind we habitually overlook nasty morsels of caterpillars and beetles, find so forth. And, indeed, when one comes to think of it, what can it bo but prejudice which causes one to eat the periwinkle and re jeer the land snail, or to prize tho lively ' prawn and proscribe the cheerful crass hopper? Why do we sit on chairs instead til' mi thpi f'oor, as the Japanese do, or on cushions like the Turks? It is custom, mid perhaps it suits with our other cus e. toiiis. The more wo look into our life and y consider tho immense variety of habit in ever;.- department of it even under eoi ii;i ns to all appearances exactly similar t ho. more are we impressed by the ab tsence of flny serious necessity in the forms we oursc-Jves aro accustomed to. Each race, each class, each section of the population, each unit even. auiits its own habits of life as superior to the rest, as tho only truo and legitimate forms; find peoples and classes will go to war with each other in their assertion of their own Fpecta! belief and practices, but the question that rather presses upon tho in genuous Riid inquiring iv.ind is whether any of us have got hold of much true life lit all. Homo Journal. Italians Not Good Solilieri. Italians, the veteran diplomatist goer on to say, may become good diplomatists, pound jurists and successful merchants, but they vill never bo soldiers in the true 6er.se of that ord- Take their splendid fleet of irouthids, for asample, and uiar fdial it in buttle array against a French. English. Russian or German squadron, commanded Ly a French, an English, a Russian or a German admiral, ud tho dis aster of Li.;sa will be rehearsed over agam. Much of tl.is incapacity for successful military achievement is du-j to want of truinir:;? on tho part of the officers. In Italy there ore many military schools that are well attended; but in them, as in the universities, there Is a fatal lack of sever ity iu the examinations, and ouce the student has left school he is never aftif ward seen wi:b a book iu his Land. It is for this rviison that we lind the officers ia command of the Red Sea expe dition committing prccuuly tli same er run tliiit their predecessors fell into ir lriJo.'id lOJ. Tho Italian officer seems n to couevrued about only one thing the eUect that he is pr-lucing ou the women and on the bystanders iu general, and 1 have frccu veterans covered with decora tions, who never forgot, before going into dio street, to arrange tholr hats and to look into a glass. Paris Cor. New York Press Good A1 vice to Speculators. Speculation is a business that must bo studied as a specialty, and though it is popularly believed that any man who Jias money can speculate, yet the ordinary man, without special training In the busi ness, is liable to make as tp-eat a mistake in this attempt as the man who thinks ho can act as Lis own lawyer find who is said "to have a fool for a client." Tho com mon delusion that expert knowledge i.j not required in speculation has wrecked many fortunes and reputations iu Wall " etreet, and is still very influential in ita pernicious and Illusory achievements. Professional r.drics in Wall street, a? In legal ailairs, is worta paying for, tn-i costs far less In the end than tho cl.icf "points" tliat ore distributed profusely trouni tli3 street, thick as autumn Javej In V&llimbrcsa, end which only allura the Innocent speculator to put his money where ho u almost certain to lcs it. My advica to speculators who wish to rnak money ia Wall street, therefore, is to ig nore tho counsel of tho fcarroom "tippers" end tipplers," turn their backs ou 'buciet shops," and when they want "points" to purchase let them go to thos j . .ho know; Ceary Clews in the Cosmo- REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

I laving withdrawn from I he s-nate till pending tiea'les effected by republican ailinlnislratloi s for the removal of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our counncice and for its extension into a belter market U has neither affected nor proposed any others In their stead Professing adher ence to the Monroe iloeirii e. it has seen with idle complacency t he extension of foreign t it. -lluence In i.'entral America and of foreign trade everywhere nmong our neighbois. It has re fused to charter, sanction or encourage any American organi.yt ion for constructing the Nicaragua canal, a work of vtal importance to the maintenance ol the Monroe doctrine and I of nur national influence in Ontral and S utli America, and necessity lo " the development of M ule with our f'acitlc tertitory, with Sou h Ano rica, and with tiie further coasts of the facitic Derail. HSII Kit I KS Ijl'KSTION We iirralk-n the present democratic admi'iis- t rat ion for its weak and uni.ai ii.it ic treatment of the fisheries question, and us pusillanimous surrenderof all privileges to which our fishery vessels are en 1 1 li d in Canadian pints under the treaty of fxH, the reciprocate niaj in line legislation of is. io aud comity of nail ins. and which Canadian lisb ing vessels leceive in Ihe ports of the 1,'nited Slates. e con lemn Iheiolicyof Ihe present administration and the democratic iiiajoi ity iu congress towards our fisheries as unfriendly and couspiciou!y unpatriotic aud as tending t destroy a valuable national industry and an indispi tisible resource o! defense Against f ireign enemy.

The men who ab onioned I he republ lean par ty in ls.nl and continue to adhere to the demo cratic party have deserted not only the cause of honest government, but of Ktviliil finance, of fmedom and purity of the ballot, but espec ially have deserted the cau-e of reform in the civil service. We will not fall to keep uiir pledges because tl ey have broken theirs, or be ai'se their candidate has broken his. We therefore repea- our declaration of ISH4, towit : 'I he reform of civil service auspiciously begun uuoer republican administration should be completed by afurther extension of tu reform system already established by law to all grades of the service n which it is applied. Tho spir it and purpose of reform should be observed in all executive appointments, and all laws at variciicc wit h the object of existing reform l"g islatioii should be repealed, and that the dan gers to free institutious which lurk in the pow er ' f nf-cial patronage tn.jy be wisely and ef fectively avoided. The gratitude of the nati'Ui to the defenders or the union cannot be assured except bv laws. The legislation of congress should conform to the pledges made by a loyal p opie. aud be so enlarged and extended as to prov'de against the possibility that any man who honorably woi t iu; federal uiiifo'in sliall become an In mate of an almshouse or dependent on private ciwi"ity. In the presence of an overflowing treasury it would b a public scandal lo do less for those whose valorous service preserved the government. We denounce the hostile spirit shown by President Cleveland in his numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of Ihe democratic house of representa tives in refusing even consideration of general pension legiiilal ion. In support :f the priuoipleo berewilh enun ciated, we invite t he co-operation of patriotic men of all parties, especially of all working men whose prosperity is seriously threttened by the free trade policy of the present admin istration. The ilrst cm eern of nil good government is the virtue and sobriety of the people jnd the purity of their homes. The republican party cordially sympathizes with all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion of temper auce. BUSINESS DIRECTORY. ATTOKSEY. S. V. THOMAS. Atforne -at-I.aw and Notary Public.
