Johx C. -Watson,

Secretary.
Jas. G. Hlaiue sees the tendency
of the minds of the people toward
free tr-;de and to get ahead of til?
democratic plan for attaining it
takes a near cut across lots and
heads oiT the stampede 13 furiiir.li
ing the demand under the guise of
a new name: -reciprocity. Lucas,
(Ta) Review.
In writing the above the author
demonstrates that he does not
wholly comprehend the meaning
of the reciprocal trade relations, we
have established with foreign coun
tries and that in his conclusion he is
not fair in dealing with the past re
cord of Mr. Iilaine on this question.
Now the position taken hy Mr.
Plain, in the past- and he has stood
-quarely on the republican plat
formhas been a tariff for protec
tion not for revenue only as revenue
j-i needed to carry on the affairs of
the government economically ad
minstered. They say let us place a
tariff upon those articles, which,
with sttfilc ient protection we can
produce at home and. which, in a
-short time will enable us to give
rmployiiient to our own labor at
liigher wages, increase the wealth
ot our own country and above all,
furnish our goods at a less figure
than when depending upon the
foreign monopoly; but, says Mr.
H'aine, there are a great many
.uticles produced in foreign coun
tries, upon which we depend and
must continue to depend let our
people have all protection possible,
because of our utter iuability
to produce the articles such as:
sugar from sugar cane, coffee, tea
etc. Mr. Iilaine says that a tariff on
these articles is not protection for
America but is a tax to consumers,
and instead of operating to reduce
the cost of the article, it enhances
tlu; cost to the amount of the tariff.
Now comes the reciprocity feature,
under Htund too, without lor a
moment, sacrificing the principle
of protection. Hy tins plan treaties
are formed with other countries, by
thcHtipuIations of which, provisions
are made that mutual exchanges of
commodities. shall be made. In
ther words reciprocal trade rela
tions are established by which, we
receive from other conn
tries goods which we counot pro
duce, and give them in exchangt
goods the j' cannot produce.
Now how. in view of the tacts in
the case, one can assert that Mr
Iilaine - standing on the republican
platform has abandoned protec
tion and espoused tree trade is
more than we can clearly see.
Again our friend intimates that
reciprocity is democratic doctrine.
Nothing could be farther from the
fact of the matter. The democratic
party does not favor tariff for pro
tection as does therepublican party
but a tariff for revenue. Then, since
the reciprocit' feature, provides for
the mutual exchange of the com
modaties - namely, those we cannot
profitably produce here, which are
the very article upon which the
democratic party wishes a tariff,
how our friend can give
democracy credit for reciprocity we
cannot see. If our friend doubtsour
word as to the policy of the demo
cratic party, we refer him to the
mills bill or the great Mesiah? And
stuffed prophet CJrover Cleveland.
Our friend is more con ervative
than the average democrat in ad
mitting the good bound to come
from reciprocity and we believe he
could do good service in the repub
lican party.
THE LATE MRS. POLK.
Few women of the present century
have lived longer or more happily
than the late Mrs. Polk. The cen
tury was but three years old when
she was born and lacked but nine
years of its completion when she
died. She was a school girl
when Jackson defeated the Hritish
at New Orleans, and was in her
forty-fifth year when Scott's army
entered the City of Mexico. Marricd-H
at the early age of 19 she contri
buted largely to her husband's
popularity by the graceand dignity
with which she presided over his
household during the many years
of his Congressional life and dur
ing the term of his Presidency. A
rigidly orthodox Presbyterian, she
excluded what she held to be
"worldy amusements" from the
White House duringlieroccupnncy
of it, and held very much such a
place in popular esteem as long
afterward was held by Mrs. Hayes.
President Polk died in little more
than three months after he had left
the White House; for forty-three
years his wife maintained a stately
and a saintty widowhood. The
cheerful gravity that distinguished
her public life was natural to her
and sat gracefully upon her in her
Southern mansion. Duriuir tin-
war the Union general whose
armies first occupied Nashville
called and paid their respects to
the consort of the President under
whose administration the Mexican
war was fought and Texas and Cali
fornia added to the National do
main. After peace was restored
the Congress of the United States
voted her a pension of $.",(X)0 a year
which she enjoyed to the day of her
death. It may be long before an
other President's widow survives
for nearly half a century the ad
ministration of her husband. Inter

STATISTICS RELATING TO CITIES.
Census bulletin No. IfX) treats of
the social statistics of cities. The
most remarkable of the many inte
resting generalities which it sets
forth is that it is pre-eminently in
the so-called granger states of the
north that the increase of popula
tion in cities of 1UX i inhabitants
and upward is noticeable. Thus
the increase in population of cities
of this class is 4S:?.fS7 per cent in
Nebraska, UtiTi percent in Minnesota,
2"J3.S'J per cent in Oregon, "J04..")l per
cent in Colorado. per cent in
Kansas. Statistics of lS'.XJ are, of
course, compared witli tnose ot
HS0. The only southern state that
shows a marked increase in the
population of its cities is North
Carolina, which has gained 1J04.51
per cent. Despite of all that we
have heard of the wonderful growth
of cities in the iron districts of Ala
bama, that state now has but three
with populations exceeding l(),()l)0.
and it had two in 1SS0. The total
population of its three chief cities
was but TO.l.'iT in 1890. against 4o,84o
n PS, being an increase of but
2.IVJ per cent. There could be no
stronger proof of the unwillingness
of ivipital and population to seek
homes in states where the ballot is
not free.

dry catarrh for many years, and f

M. J. Lally, 39 Woodward Ave.,
Boston Highlands, Mass.
A n amnxins instance of the contagion
of example has recently been afforded
by a case in the Berlin police court re
ports. The outrage on the Turkish rail
way and the ptories of Lriguiulu which
have lately filled our newspapers seem
to have acted on the imagination of two
boys named 0.ear Si hen' tier and George
May. They determined to Ix-como ban
dits, and they prevailed on several of
their schoolfellows to yn them. Tli"
average age of tiie band was tl:irte.
They inaugurated their defiance of th
law by boldly playing truant, and then
they took rt aige in the wilds of tht
Grnnewald, where, in true brigand fash
ion, they hid themselves.
After a night passed in this fashion
they felt the pangs of hunger, and con
frequently they sallied forth at an early
hour ami seized the milk cans ami bas
kets of new rolls which had been left at
the doors of the neighboring villa.-;
This, however, they thought was scarce
ly heroic, and their next step was to gar
rote an old gentleman who was taking a
morning stroll in the park. Somehow
or otiier the Berlin txiliee got wind i
the aftair, and the juvenile bandits wen
seized. They are now languishing ii
grewsome dungeons, where, by meat it
er a cane administered at intervals, it i-
hoped that they may be made aware o:
the historic fact that in northern En
rope brigandage is an anachronism.--Pall
Mall Budget.
Argentine Frenchmen I n Want.
The grant of the French government
of 1,000,000 francs toward the expense of
bringing distressed French emigrants in
the Argentine Republic back to France
is sufficiently significant of the inex
pediency of emigration to that country
at this time. Mr. Herbert, British secre
tary of legation at Buenos Ayres, is
clearly at one with the French authori
ties on this point, for he expresses a hope
that the flow thither of British emigra
tion may cease for the present.
The British colonist adds to other causes
of failure a special difficulty in acquir
ing the language of the people. His com
petitor, the- Italian laborer, on the con
trary, owing to the similarity of the
language, climate and habits of the
country with what he has been accus
tomed to, feels himself comparatively at
home on lauding, besides finding himself
surrounded by a large number of his
countrymen. Paris Cor. Lo. n Tele

Visitors from the Chateaugay lakes,

to this, many of the residents go up the

Voice Kijjnres.
A coming "fad" or pursuit will be that
of voice figures. A book on the subject
has been v.itten explaining and illus
trating this new discovery of the forms
produced by the human voice. At a re
cent reception in London some glass
screens were provided, upon which, after
certain preparations, were thrown the
figures developed by the voice. These
were very exact and well defined and re
sembled a plant or seaweed. We shall
undoubtedly have these exhibitions in
New York drawing rooms before an
other season has passed, as the subject is
exciting much attention abroad. New

Fire Winds.
California, from the .Mexican frontier
to the redwood regions of Mendocino
county, has been visited by a sirocco of
the ultra Mediterranean sort. In Fresno,
the much advertised paradise of raisin
culture and co-operative communities,
the heat rose to 11 1 degs. in the shade;
in Nagra, to 110 degs.; in Sonoma to 109;
in Healdsbnrg (on the Russian river, far
north of San Francisco) to 103 degs. San
Francisco itself escaped, thanks to the
irrepressible counter currents of sea
winds, bv.t S'ician .ento, a lit tie further
inland, thought it.-eif lucky to get off
with 10G. Philadelphia Times.

The baseball player has long been im
mortalized in the public prints, but it
remained for Douglas Tilden, a deaf
mute sculptor of ban Francisco, to im
mortalize him in bronze. Not long ago
he completed a handsome statue entitled
"The Ball Thrower," and presented it to
the city of San Francisco. The figure is
of life size and is mounted upon a red
granite base and a Mentone sandstone
pedestal four feet high. The site of the
etatue is south of the Garfield monu
ment in San Francisco's park. Bloom

An"thiug that looks cool is certainly
attractive on a hot day. A restaurant
keeper in New York city has increased
the number of his patrons materially the
past two or three weeks by displaying in
his doorway a huge cake of ice, in the
center of which fish or tempting cuts of
beef are displayed. This enterprising
restaurateur has an ice machine with
which he is able to manufacture the ice
needed for daily consumption.
Recent statistics show the estimated
population of the world to be 1,437,600,
000, an increase of 8 per cent, in ten
years. Europe is the most thickly
settled, having a population of 380,200,
000, or 101 persons to the square mile.
North America has 89,250,000, or four
teen to the square mile, an increase of
20 per cent, in the p-st decade.

has been less than two years since
the city invited us into the corpor

Plattsmouth's steady growth for
five years past almost doubling its

is taken regarding public im

of the great Missouri Pacific rail
way into this city, giving us anoth
er great truiiK line aim competing
market; the constant increasing
pay roll of the C. U. & O. shops, to
gether with many other well known
reasons, assure a steady and perma
nent advance in realty, which will
doubtless euect South Park more
favorably than any other portion of
Plattsmonth.
With a view to the encouragement
of a still greater growth of til is part
of the city, we will continue to sell
lots on monthly payments, finish
money with which to erect bonnes
will exchange lots for other im

It is not so much the speculator
as the permanent resident that we
wish to purchase this disirable
property. Out of over EIGHTY pres

hence there are no lietitous values
and lots are selling at about the
price they were immediatly after

why the present is a most desirable
