Tiiese presidential election happen too
jften; they are periods of waste. The
great political parties of the country in
th.-ir strife for supremacy absorb the
American mind completely. The club
organization, the "rally the time spent
ly everybody in helping along and keep-
ing up the noise and fury of the politcal
bittle, the campaign expenses from the
national committee down to the voting
precinct, are all a drain on the citizens;
then the politics of the great pai tiiis a f ten
threaten commercial nud industrial inter
ests, capital become intimidated, business
unstable, and times of contraction follow.
Once in six years is often enough fcr our
presidential elections
Thb Herald believes that Benjamin
Harrison and Livi P. Morton will be tri
umphantly elected tomorrow, and so
believing, we confidentially await the
issue, trusting to the intelligence and
patriotism of the American voter. We
know there would not be one particle of

THINK liEFOliL! YOU VOTE.
This is the last word that can bo said
to voters, during what will ever remain
the memorable campaign of 1888. The
man that casts Ids vote tomorrow can
never recall it; if he makes a mistake he
must remain unrectified, for in this free
state of Nebraska it will surely be counted.
If he be a laboring man, whose future
depends on the prosperity of tho coutiy
aud the wages labor demands for its hon
est service, he has a double interest in
the vote he casts. If that yote is cast for
the party that has.by its protective policy,
placed industrial America in the position
it holds today among the nations of the
earth, he can lay his head upon his pillow
Tuesday night with the assurance thi.t
if Mr. Cleveland is elected and the indus
trial policy of Great Britain, with its
pauper wages, is to take the place of the
American system, he will never blame
himself with having been a party to his
fellow couutrymen's woes. If on the
other hand, he casts that vote for the
present administration, he will feel, after
it is all over, that he has cat a vote that
may assist in an industrial revolution
upon this continent. Do our laboring
men want to even take that chance ? On
the one hand you are morally certain that
your vote and influence will not tend to
bring about this great danger to our
country, on the other hand you cannot be
certain. The ruling power in the demo- ,
C.Ttie. pf.rtjv iue south, is unquestionably
unfreindly to the protective system, how
ever modified; that has been its history
since the days of John C. Calhoun. The
influences of Great Britain are unmistake
ably in favor of free trade; with the
democratic party firmly seated in power
in this country its drift and tendency is
certain to be toward free trule, no sane
man can doubt this, and free trade means
par per wages. With the birriors thrown
down, supply and demand, as certain as
the law of gravitation, will pull wages
down to the naturallevel; that level will
be just what competition, with the pauper
wages of the old world will fit; so we
say, can you afford to take this risk ?
Fonder well this matter before the white
ballot drops from your fingers tomorrow.
Think of it as you would in your mid
night meditations, away from -he noise,
the fury and the rutf anteni of our politi
cal campaigns, and then vote or the side
that you know willuot imperil American
labor.

AMERICAN CHILDREN.
HOW MUCH
PARISIAN
THEY DIFFER FROM
LITTLE DARLINGS.
French Children Taught to BehATO Them
selrca Their I'o!lU-tit-s Towards Elders
In Vivid Contract to Vuunj Ameriea's
Wms T5ic Secret of the Matter.
Speakiivr of American children I have
often woudercd why It was that they were
generally bo try ing to tho world at largo
outshlo of their Immcdiato families.
French children are treated with quite as
much Lf not more injudicious indulgence.
I have known French parents to stipulato
beforo accepting an invitation to a dinner
Carty. that they should be allowed to
ring with them their darling daughter,
aged six. And this was by uo means an
isolated or extraordinary instance. But
no ono ever saw a French child swinging
on tho back of a visitor's chair or poking
its Cngers Into tho caller's neck or crawl
ing under tho table to investigate the
caller's shoes or taking his or her um
brella to r'ulo cock horse on it, or playing
circus around tho ceuterlable with whoops
and yells enough to deafen the bystanders
while a visit was in progress.
tue bad r.ov i;r vatus.
Passing along the Paris streets, if you
sea a well dressed boy of 7 or 8 swinging on
all tho iron bars in front of the shop win
dows, getting into people's way, and
making a nuLjaiico of himself generally,
you may bo sure that the youli is an em
bryo citizen of tho great United States.
On one occasion, in a London boarding
house, two boys of 10 and 8 respectively
tried to hoist up a bowl of cutstard from
the hall table down stairs to the third
Uoor landing by m?".us c: s ncsoo oi coid.
r i'..iii-sn t hH "lmwl was overturned and
broken and tho table and carpet were
deluged with the custard. Doing left un
punished, and even unrebuked. by their
parents, they lowered next day a sponge
into tho soup tureen, and tho family were
forthwith requested to leave tho house.
I do not wonder that the landlords of Hats
or furnished houses in America refuse
often to take families with children.
When one hear3 of a set of furniture cov
ered with fiuo stamped leather having its
covering cut into strips by tho children of
an American tenant (this occurred in a
Loudon hotel), ono ceases to marvel at tho
apparent cruelty of those proprietors who
seek to shut out such destructive imps
from their premises. Nor are these dre:'.d
ful young ones tlia scions of people i;i n
class of life in which one would usually
expect to find ignorauco of the finer in
stincts of life. 1 have seen ail American
boy belonging to ono of tho most aristo
cratic families in the United States seated
on the floor at a juvenilo party with a
plato piled high with delicacies between
his legs, and gobbling down the dainties
with uncouth noises and unrestrained
greediness.
Now, these dreadful small boys and
girls almost invariably grow up into well
behaved men and women. Cut the great
source of their ill conduct; in childhood
arises from tho fact that American pa
rents seldom or never think it worth
...iiiin n trtri thpir children manners. A
French boy or girl is trained from its
earliest infancy to rise from its seat when
a straiifrer enters tho room, to sit per
fectly still when making a call, and not
to speak till spoken to, to remain quiet
when taken out drivingand not to ask
for water or to romplain of being tired,
to walk along fhe street like a lady or a
gentleman, neyer to touch tho belongings
of any grown person, etc. I have staid
at the homo of a French, lady whoso
youngest and idolized child was then a
fine boy of . In tho absence of his father
the young gentleman (which he was, most
emphatic lly) would gravely c- ( the
part of host, .offering ma his sh . . . i-m

etiquette.
TOLITENESS TOWAT'.rS ELD:".".
Tho American boy or girl, even when
nearly grown up, is entirely ignorant of
any form or demonstration of politenesi
towards his or her ciders. None of my
young country people, unless educated In
Europe, ever think of rising when an
elder person enters the room', of drawing
a:ddo to let such a person first pass
through a doorway, of relinquishing a
seat on the sofa or In an arm chair to an
elderly visitor, etc. It is not their fault
their parents have never trained them
in manners while they were little children.
I had an exemplification of the difference
i:i manners between French and American
children the other day wh;lst paying a
call at one of tho great Parisian hotels.
As I was waiting to get Into the elevator
an American boy, about 9 years of age,
pushed rast me with al his small
strength, jumped into the elevator ud
took the only available seat, leaving me
to stand. My visit once paia, i ten my
e-iA'o -.. r tv onH pi fnn 7i fprpd m tlio nail
lllt'UU O fWV1 v
a group of French cI41.deE, seated on a
sofa and evidently waiting for boum cue.
On seeing me, ono of tho number, a little
fellow in a collegian's uniform, instantly
Elipped off of his seat and raised his cap
to salute me as I appicjjehed. Possibly
tho American boy may grow up a much
liiior fellow and will bo hereafter more
really poiita to ladies than his Parisian
contemporary. Hut meanwhile the latter
Is by far tho most agreeable individual for
an e'ldcrly lady to encounter'casually.
Tho secret of tho wholo matter is that
manners', like foreign languages, should
bo taught to chUdrcn in their earliect
-cars I have heard American parent 3
talk of the charm cf letting children grow
up natural and .unrcstiaingd. The natural
and unrestrained :(i. e.," the untrained and
unrfestinctcdV child is a detestable howl
ing little savage. If the world, as in the
days of Eden, held onl. one married pair
and their offspring, such a case of sevecely
J-tin" alone the inculcating of what some
one call's th minor morals of humanity
would do well enough- utfs long a?
there are people on earth who aro ADi9 to
be worried bF iotner people's children it is
the duty of parents- q render tber
darlings as little obnoxious iq strangers
as possible, and not to so bring them up
that we may wonder if Beelzebub, after
creating a sufficient nn ber of imps for
tho realms below, had not left over a
large quantity of unused material which
)iad been worked into tha substance of
which American children are composed.

Meanlns of tho Word "Limited."
A subscriber asks for an explanation
of the word limited," which frequently
follows the name of a corporation, as the
"Sunrise Blacking company, limited," or
"Smith & Jones, limited " In the last
case, as In the first, the concern is a cor
poration, with shareholders, not ono of
whom, possibly, is a Smith or a Jones.
The old principle of corporations cre
ated by legislative act was that the entire
property of every stockholder was liablo
for the wholo debts of tho company, as
the whole property of every member of a
general partnership is stdl liable for the
debts of tho firm.
But this system made every shareholder
responsible for bad management of which
ho might not be guilty, and deterred
wealthy men from becoming interested in
the shares of corporations. To removo
this objection the principle of limited lia
bility was introduced, and in order to no
tify the public that only the separato
property of tho corporation was liblo for
the debts of tho corporation the English
law requires that tho word "limited"
shall be used in every caso by the com
pany. Most American corporations are con
stituted on tho principle of limited lia
bility, but few, if any, of the states en
join companies to append tho word lim
ited to their corporate titles. The matter
is so well understood in this country, in
deed, that it is not necessary.
Tho most noteworthy exception to tho
general rulo is tho caso of the national
banks, and even in this instance liability
is limited to an amount equal to the par
valuo of the shares. That is, if a na
tional bank fails, each stockholder may
not only lose what lie has invested, but
$100 more for each sharo of stocks ho
holds, if so much is necessary to pay t he
debts of the bnnlc
Until within a few yes.rs all tho Scot
tish banks were organized with unlimited
liability, and when, eight or tea years
ago, a Glasgow bank failed, disastrously,
thero were cases of men who only owned
a sharo or two, wo tied beforo the failure

Ittroleum V.'cIU !: i:ur:v.ali.
The petroleum field of Yetwigyoongex
tends over nn area of sixteen t-quiire miles,
tho physical conformation of which repro
duces almost exactly that of tho oil pro
ducing district in Baku in the Kussiau
Caucasus. Bare crumbling ridges alter
nate with deep, dry gullies, half choked
with sand, while every here and thero you
come upon a black, narrow, and seemingly
unfathomable chasm in the parched earth,
all around tho mouth of which tho dusty,
yellowish gray surface is spotted with
pools of thick, dark, glutinous liquid, as
if some boy giant had been set to fill a
number of colossal jars of molasses, and
had done it so awkwardly as to spill tho
precious fluid all over tho ptorw.
The petroleum wells of Yeuj'ngyoor.g
are aljout 5300 in number, and vary in
depth from 200 to o20 feet. They have
been worked for consiclerablj period,
but hitherto without much success, partly
on account of tho unskillful and costly
system adopted by tho natives and partly
on account of tho ingrained rapacity of
tho Burmese government, which, up to
the very latest moment of its existence.,
never failed to lay its greedy claws uou
every native industry which showed t Lo
slightest token of yielding any profit
whatever, thereby verifying to the letter
a famous passage in the ancient BraLimn
hymn to tho fivo heeded deity of night:
"Tho priest is ono of thy mouths, and
with that mouth thou devourest the peo
ple; the king is ono of thy mouths, aud
with that mouth thou devourest every
body."
The oil yielded by the Yenangyoong
wells is somewhat lighter than the ordi
nary color, and unusually thin when first
taken out, although after having been
exposed to tho air for some time (more
especially In cold weather) it shows a
tendency to become thick and glutinous.
As regards its quality the resident ex
perts are not altogether of one mind, but
all alike agreo in pronouncing it far infe
rior to tho American article, and not
likely to compare favorably even with the
best quality of petroleum yielded by the
Russian oil wells at Baku. David Ker in
