Conx is still recognized as king in
Nebraska and is rapidly gaining that
i.ame all over the world.
Thkre is strong talk of a strike among
the engineers on the Union Pacific, on
account of a reduction of wagrs on some
of the branch lines.
Akrangk.mknts have now been made
so that the city authoraties will take con
trol of the affairs at Johnstown once
more and the troops will leave the first of
next week.
The Omaha Leader is a vigorous tem
perance paper, full of burning truths and j
unanswerable logic in favor of the cause
it represents. It calls for general tup
port and is deserving of it. A headline
reads ' We arc working for the prohibitory
amendment." Its motto "It is the duty
of the government to make it easy for
the people to do right and difficult to do
wrong." Gladstone, shows that if the
government would stop the manufacture
of liquor, the use of the same would
cease. The importance of the paper in
present issue of the cause of temperance,
demands the support of the public in
heart and purse.
The heavy exportation of gold which
has been under way for several weeks
past, is unusual at this time of the year.
The reason for them, however, can read
ily be pointed out. Our purchases of
foreign goods arc comparatively large,
while our sales to foreigners are compara
tively small. Counting undervaluations
and the amount which we have to pay
abroad for ocean freightage and insur
ance on our goods, the balance of trade
is heavily against us. A change in the
situation is likely to occur when we be
gin to send our new crops of wheat
to Europe. Perhaps the change will
come earlier. An increase in the pur
chases of our securities on foreign account
would also stop the drain of gold. The
chances are, however, that the heavy
shipments of mouey will be continued
for several weeks yet.
W.M. Dean IIoweixs will continue in
Harper's Mayazinc for July the discus
sion of the dramatic outlook in America
begun by Brander Mathews in the num
ber for June. He savs: "We believe
that the American diama, like the Amer
ican novel, will be more and more a se
ries of sketches of anecdotes, of sugges
tions, with less and less allegiance to auy
hard and fast intritruc." . He reiterates
his view as follows: "Again we wish
to put forward our heresy that for a play
a plot of close texture is no more neces
aary than for a novel; that for cither, in
dealing with modern life, it v.oald be
an anachronism." Praising the work of
Messrs. Thompson, Harrigan, Burgess,
and Hoyt, he says: "We do not at all
pretend thatjthey have produced a great
drama. But we do pretend that in f-uch
prolongations of sketches as they have
given they haye made the right begin
ning of an American drama," He adds:
'We believe, moreover, that a national
drama can arise with us only as it has
arisen with other peoples; that is, out of
some such wilding natiye growths as
these authors are cultivating." He
agrees with Mr. A. M. Palmer upon the
absence of public taste in regard to the
drama, and receiving the manager's re
minder that this taste exists only in coun
tries where "dramatic art has for centu
ries been fostered by the people, and
oftentimes protected and patronized by
intelligent governments," he says:
"Perhais we may yet, when the people
really come to their own, have a munici
pal theatre in every city and town, sus
t lined by a tax, where the best dramas
may be seen for a tenth of the price one
now pays to see the worst. ,
And, Mesa youe soul, when disaster be

Independence, Iowa, Oct. 14, 188S.
Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich:
Gekts: Tour Mr. Brooks came here
tonight and registered as agent for Ilib
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as he did
so it awakened in me an interest ncyer
before realized in a guest at my house.
You will not wonder at it when I tell
you the story. For years I have been
greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu
matism, the pain and soreness of the
joints at times being almost unbearable;
could move about only with the aid of
crutches. In addition to this my stomach
became badly diseased, and neuralgia set
in, which threatened to end my day. A
traveling man stopping with me gave
quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
induced mo to try it. I hava taken six
bottles and no act in my life affords me
greater satisfaction than in writing you
I am a well man.
It will be a pleasure for me to answer
mv communications, for I believe it to
be the best remedy ever formulated.

Thero tiro scores of men and women in
this city who mako a largo income every
year by cung aa iniormera upon smug-
ler3Somet7,nC3 they take a trip to
Kur(,rKJ themselves. They are generally
wen supplied with money, and to the
majority of their acquaintances their
source of income is a mystery,
For years past it has been the policy of
the government, through the secretary
of the treasury, to award 23 per cent,
of the alue received from the sale of
smuggled articles to the party who dis
covered the smuggler, or who gave in
formation leading to such discovery.
It is estimated that in this manner the
government pays out the sum of, $100,000
a year.
BETRAYING FUIKMJS.
In some cases the special deputy offi
cers employed in the custom house are
given a percentage of the seizures which
they make, and this is the princijial rea
a special agent. "They make a practice
of finding out which of the passengers
have diamonds, or silks and satins, or
other valuable articles that they hope to
smuggle through, and to these they inti
mate that smuggling is the easiest thing
in the world. As soon as the vessel ar
rives the informer rushes to a special
agent with the information, and the
would be smuggler loses his or her goods
as a result of listening to the talk of the
tempter. There is not a trip made by
oneof tho great steamships when this does
not occur. An exception was noted the
other day when the stewardess of one of
the French line vessels was herself caught
smuggling, and goods valued at SI, 000
were taken from her.
Milliners and tailors do not hesitate to
turn informers in order to get a rival
into trouble, although they do not often
ask for a share of the reward.

the special agents act are caLled across
by some anonymous sender who does not
care for tho reward, but who wants to
get a rival into the meshes of tho custom
house
"Jewelers stick together better than
any other class of men who r.muggle"
said a customs official yesterday. "It is
rare indeed that one jeweler will inform
upon another, and when one is caught
smuggling tho others Uocb around him
in sympathy, and sometimes combine to
make good his losses.
There aro several professional inform
ers who make it their business to travel
almost constantly on tho ocean steamers,
where they lure amateur smugglers into
their net.
These men are well dressed and pose
as business or professional men who
have been abroad on a vacation.
On the voyage from Liverpool one of
them makes liimself agreeablo to the
men on board, and as the steamer nears
New York ho boasts- of his ability to
smuggle anything through the custom
house, from a diamond pin to an ele
pliant.
"I always do it," ho exclaims, con
fidently. "I never make a European
trip without bringing back several hunr
dred dollars' worth pf goods free of
duty." -
Then he urges his friends to mako the
attempt also, and one or two at least
always do so.
Of course they are caught, while tlie
gentlemanly informer makes tho price
of his passage and considerable spending
money as the result of his work.
Such informers aro well known to the
custom house people, who designate
them as "ocean bunco steerers."
No attempt is mado by the steamship
authorities to prevent tho work of the
mformer3, some of whom pick out a
good steamer upon which to employ
their talents, and practically live for
years upon it. New York Journal.
A Cure for Leprosy.
A euro for leprosy has been found,
says Mr. Clifford, the' last European to
visit Father Damieu. It is gurjun oil,
the produce of a fir tree which grows
plentifully in the Andaman Islands. "It
waa discovered by Dr. Dougall, aud Mr.
Clifford was assured by Sir Donald
Stewart, who was then governor of the
islands, and who has sent me the official
medical report, that every single case in
the place was cured by it. The lepers
were convjets, and it was therefore im
possible to enforce, four hours a day of
rubbing the ointment all over their
bodies, and the taking of two small doses
internally. In some of the cases the dis
ease was of many years' standing, and
Jha state to which it had reduced its vic
tims was indescribably dreadful, yet
after eight months sufferers, were abl j p
run and to use a heavy piokax, and every
symptom of leprosy had disappeared."
Father Damien tried it, but too late.
