PriuixT for one of the democratic de buting societies of this hour: Resolved, That those fifteen new public baths which have been ordered will haye a tendancy t. rnr. down our maioritv in what are now the unwashed districts. A few years ago a gold exportation half so great in volume as that which has been under way the past month would have created a panic and stoppeM specu lHtinn. Just now. however, there is much more activity than there was before it began. Tub money has been raised for laying ti telegraphic cable from San Francisco to tlm Sandwich islands. From that point it is merely a question of a short time when telegraphic communication will be established with Japan, China and Australia. We shall have an electric girdle around the world within the next three years. Two com pax: ks have ,een formed in this state for the manufacture of beet sugar, and the machinery for these fac tories has just bien purchased in Germa ny. Thec companies were organized mid have invested their money on the strength of an analysis of Nebraska beets made last year by the division of chemistry of the Department of Agri cultuie, which resulted in a showing of 13 to 10 per cent of sugar. Tuc amount of coal gas and oil that is now being drained from the interior will produce somthing of a vacuum in mother earth sooner or later. The pnsent supply of gas is enormous. Statistics for oil show that in 18$s Pennsylvania-produced 10,471,083 barrels; Ohio, 10:010,8G3 bar rels; West Virginia, 11 9,4c s barrels; Cal ifornia, 704,019 barrels; and other states 20,000. Just how long a draft can be made and every year increased, and the walls hold, no one can say. It is possi ble that the supply is equal to the demand and there will be no collapse. Scitnce knows but little of the machinery down toward China. Fkom the report of the Illinois State liureau of labor statistics it appears that the total mortgngc indebtedness upon all lands, livestock and farm implements in that state outside of Cook county amounts to 1 1.48 per cent, of their real value. This shows well for the state of Illinois and the democratic newspapers that have been howling about the farmers of Illinois being eaten up by mortages while under Republican rul ought to have a copy of this report as a readv reference to know how l!2 liars thev are when thev publish such arti cles. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPALS OE FREE-TRA D E. What is the '"fundamental principals" of Free-Trade? To seek for it reminds of the Yankee definition of hunting a flea: You put your finger on it, but it isn't there! The guiding prin ciple, as enunciated by Cobden, was "to buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest." He called this "Christian," and his colleague, Briget, elevated it to the dignity of "sacred." Yet a few months ago, moved by sundry revela tions, Freo Traders at large declared that 'cheapness in itself was not an unmixed blessing;" that "the doctiins of buying in the cbeatKst market has been carried too far;" and even Cobden's own daugh ter, who is at present sitting in the Lon don Council, has gone so far against her father's principle as to publicy announce in her electoral address that in contracts projected by that council she "would take every posible precaution that only the offers of those who treat their work- men well and justly would be accepted." Yet, to judge from the present style of argument about the sugar lounty system we might take the main principle of Free Traders to be: "Don't troublo w hether a thing is Free-Trade or not so long as it's cheap, and never mind a jot how that cheapness is come at!" Free- Trade i, in the sheerest fact, reduced to nothing more nor less than a foul und degrading use of cheapness.- American Economist. WEEPING W ATE It CONTESTING KOOI.I.SII KEROI.LTIOKtt UNACTED AND l'AKSED AT TIIEIK SATURDAY'S MEKTINCi. Weeping Water, Neb., June 22. A c -unly mass meeting was held here this afternoon for the purpose of protesting iir,iinsfc T'liittsmouUrs action in the court house bond election on the 8th The town was full of people; thirteen precincts out of fifteen were represented liv ii.tellifrnt and worthy farmers. A J o " more determined lot of men of one sen ti.Tient would be hard to find. The fol lowing resolutions were passed unani mously: Whereas, On the 8th day of June, 1S89. an election was held in Cass county for the purpose of voting $80,000 bonds of Cass county, fof the purpose ot Dunn ing a court house at Plattsmoutii, and Whereas, At said election it is no tieeablu to everv honest voter of . Cass county that a flagrant outrage was com mitted on that day on our people by th city of Plattsmouth, in that she voted at I least one-third more votes than ner pop ulation would justify her in doing; there fore be it liesolced, By the citizens of Cass coun ty, in mass meeting assembled, that we do most emphatically protest against the issue of the bonds; and be it lurther Hi-sol ced, That it is the sense of this meeting to test the legality of said elec tion and bring to justice the perpetrators of the fraud at any cost; ami lurther, that we most respetfully but earnestly re quire our county commissioners to refuse to issue the bonds under any circum stances unless compelled to do so by the courts of the state, and in support of these resolutions we pledge our lives, our for tune, and our sacred honor. The foregoing resolutions sound like the sweet measured tones of Ed Wooley, clothed in the adroit language of that other patriotic, self-sacrificing leader among the farmers of Weeping Water, B. A. Gibson. These fellows want boo dle! With Wooley as attorney for the farmers (?) combined and "Gib" as treasurer, the organization to fight the web of a good round majority of the voters of Cass county, will be in elegant shape to vindicate the virtue of the elective franchise. The open, barefaced, villainous frauds organized and perpe trated by the Weeping Water gang nt the November elections are known to the indignant so-called farmers (?) in and about Weeping Water; and now for these same fellows to be passing resolu tions against Plattsmouth, pledging their "property" and "sacred honor," is about a3 brazen-faced a piece of impu dence as cne meets in a lifetime. The resolutions are a dead give away on the so-called indignation meeting. The self-constituted leaders of that vast meeting were not around committing the innocent granger to the proposition to defeat the bonds for a court house, in the event it was discovered they were J not honestly voted by a majority of the legal voters of Cass county. Oh, no But they resolve to sacrifice their "sacred honor, their "property" and perhaps their wife's relations, like Arttmus Ward, to prevent their issue, no matter if thev were legally voted. And to this end they respectfully, prayerfully, and earnestly demand of the county commis sioners that they as public officers refuse to perforin their duty, unless the courts comnel them to do so. Ruls! The Herald understands that many yoters of this county were opposed to these bonds and they have a right to be. Also, that a majority were in favor of thpjr issue, and that maioritv had a rittht to it opinion and wish, and now if a majority are in favor of their issue it is the duty of the minority to acquiesce. A majority of one is iuet as good as a majority of thousands, and the one carries the bops just as fairly and powerfully as though it were a thousand. To oppose their issue because a minority do not want them to be issued is revolutionary and dishonest, aud can only result in involv ing the county in litigation and piling up costs for some of tbs indigant farm ers who are beguiled into the litigation to pay. This will be the result. These same county seat steerers two years ago embarked into like litigation and whee dled some "indignant farmers' (?) about Weeping Water into com mencing an action to set aside the. county seat election because Weeping "Water was defeated. The suit miscarried as it was caused to do and today a judgment stands in the District Court of Cass County against "indignant ? farmers," who wa3 fooled into the liti gation. A resolution to pay up back ex penses and investigate some of the fellows who have been making money nut of this sectional county seat litigation, would look a mighty sight better than the spread-eagle resolutions gotten up by the real estate syndicate at Weeping Water, who knows an investigation will show more rottenness at their own door than anywhere else in Cuss County. These re solutions are a very wiudy give away on the part of the county scat steerers, who know the bonds for a new court house in Cass County, were voted by a square ma jority of the legal voters, at the late June election. IMPORTANT TO THE CITIZENS. A Traveling Man Creates Great Ex citement In the Empire House 3 Independence, Iowa, Oct. 14, 1888. Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich: Gents: Your Mr. Brooks came here tonight and registered as agent for Hib bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as ho did so it awakened iu me an interest ncyer before realized in a guest at my bo use. 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 time3 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 have taken six bottles and no act in my life affords me greater satisfaction than iu writing you I am a well man. It will be a pleasure for me to answer any communications, for I believe it to be the best remedy ever formulated. A. S. Bowley, Proprietor, Empire House, Independence, Iowa. Sold by F. G.

"You aro fair," he said, as she bends her head "Too fair for your robe's dull hue; You are far too young for a garb so old; Your beauty needs color and sheen. Oh, I would clothe you la scarlet and gold. Befitting thy grace of a queen. "For one Iittlo kiss on your lips, sweet Elm, For Just one kiss no more I will give you, I swear, a robe more fair Than ever a princess wore. One little kiss on those lips, my pet. And io! you shall stand, I say. Queen of the forest, and, better yet. Queen of my heart alway." She tossed her head, but be took the kiss (Tis the way of lovers bold); And a gorgeous dress for that sweet caress lie gave ere the morn was old. For a week and a day she ruled a queen In beauty and splendid attire; For a week and a day she was loved, I ween, With a love that U born of desire. Then bold eyed Autumn went on his way In quest of a tree more fair; And mob winds tattered her garments and scat tered Her finery here and there. Poor and faded and ragged and cold She rocked and moaned in distress. And longed for the dull green gown she had sold For a lover s fickle caress. And the days went by and the winter came, And his tyrannous tempests beat On the shivering tree whose robes of sh&me He had trampled under his feet. I saw her reach to the mocking skies Her poor arms ba, u find f hiu. Ah, well-a-day, it is ever the way With a woman who trades with kin. Ella Wheeler Wilcox In Once a Week. Urllliant Flesh Tints. fie had conceived an idea for a great classical picture, and ho hired a stalwart gentleman of toil to pose for the muscu lar figure required for the center of the picture. He painted for days and days, and he thought whenever he had his model before hiiri that he had never seen such rich flesh tints befoie. And he studied those flesh tints and worked till he had got them perfect. Then be called his brothor artista in and showed them the picture. "Those flesh tints don't seein quite right. W here did you get them? "They rich, aren't they? But they're from nature. They re from my model. "Well, they don't look quite natural. " The last touches had to be given and the model had come to pose for the last time. ' v hen ho stripped his torso and took his position the painter 6tared aghast. The brilliant flesh tints had vanished and he was a plain, ordinary nesh colored individual "How's this? "What's the matter with you?" "What?" "You've changed your skin. It used to bo redder than that." "Oh, that was from the red undershirt I used to wear, and I had a bath this morning." San Francisco Chronicle. . Added a Proviso. An old vag, who lias been in the habit of calling on a certain business man on Griswold 6treet for dimes, was asked the other day how much he would take to keep away for all future time. He thought for a moment and then replied: "Give me fifty cents and I'll never bother you again." "I'll do it. Here let me draw up a writing to that effect." An agreement was drawn up and the vag read it over and laid it down with the remark: "I can't do it. There's something cold blooded about that." "But j-ou agreed to." "Yes, I know; but think of a man selling his manhood for fifty cents! I'd starve first!" "Well, how much do you want?" "A dollar." "I'll 6plit the difference with you." "Well, I'll sign, but I want a proviso inserted that I do not hereby lose my self respect, and that I do not forfeit the right to come up stairs und strike the man in the next room if I get bard up I It was added, und he signed and went troit Ptpp Pros.
