TlIE democrats who are inside have no hope of electing Bryan this year. "LITTLE Rhody" is No. 1 in the list of national republican victories for 1892. Next! TlIE democratic house is in favor of free wool. That's about as far as t will ever get. Do THE rainbow chasers expect to find a pot of gold or a pot of silver at the end of the rainbow? McKl.NLEY, Reed, Alger, Blaine, Allison, Sherman or Harrison any one of them can be elected it nomi nated. The present indications point to Harrison. The republican convention hall at Minneapolis has been completed, and is in readiness for the nomina tion of the ticket that is to sweep the country next fall. HILL brooks no foolishness in his political followers. Failure to "obey and no questions" is punish able by immediate boycott from either honor or patronage. D. B. niLL (with an assumption of p"ifive melancJloly and a steel-like l.ier of the eye): "Now, if I had o tly been able to get into Rhode Is- to assist the democrats, how different it might have been." WHEN David Boss Hill issues his ultimatum to the democrats in con vention assembled at Chicago they will immediately crawl down off the fence and vociferously declare that Senator Hill is the greatest living democrat. The business outlook as given by Dun's and Bradstreet's reviews does not bear out Brother Sherman's Journal in the statement that poor trade and not the McKinley law is the cause of the present low prices of the necessaries of life. The reason all the democratic presidential candidates and their friends proclaim that Cleveland is their second choice is simply that they are cunying favor wtth His Obesity and want his votes when they leave the claimant wallowing in his own fat. What explanation or excuse have northern democrats to make for the flaunting of the "bloody shirt" in congress by Patterson of Tennessee, Bankhead of Alabama, and Turner of Georgia? What possible provo cation had they? What republican said a word to provoke their action? The game of the anti-Bryan dem ocrats is to let the young man elo quent open his mouth and step into it this fall. That will lay him on the shelf and he will not be in the way two years from now. The only hope of the democrats carrying this district is in an off year and on a calamity platform. The Chicago Herald has burned the bridges behind it since leaving the Cleveland democracy.' It says: "It is not seriously claimed in any quarter that Mr. Cleveland can cariy New YorK Only madmen will profess that the democratic paity can elect a president next November without New York. That is the situation in absolute simplicity." And if the Herald had stated the whole truth it would have continued "and no other can didate nominated by the democrats can carry New York this fall. This is a republican yea"." Tri K Cleveland democrat wlio was defeated in Indiana for the guber natorial i emulation Hwallovvcd his wrath and bitterness together and answered in the language of the man he claimed to so cordially hate, "I am a democrat." Of course he'll support the ticket, lie didn't know Gray was loaded when he pulled the Cleveland trigger. TilK Nebraska farmers could not be blamed for favoring a law to en hance the price of farm products 30 or 40 per cetit above the market price, but why they favor such a aw, in behalf of the silver kings, which cannot fail to give us a silver tandard hence a fluctuating and cheap dollar, remains to be satis actoril' explained. Beatrice Re publican. The monthly reports of the secre tary of the treasuty have the elTect ot making the bourbon calamity howlers froth at the mouth every thirty days. The growing volume of the spring trade and the pros pects for irood crops is maddening to the mossback leaders. x Every thing, including the working of the McKinley taritf law, is against them this year. IT is really too bad that Billini Silver Bryan should be so soon done for. His frequent repetition of that "great speech" in Connecti cut and elsewhere started the Washington newspaper corres pondents to poking fun at him as a twenty-four hour hero a man with one speech for any and all occa sions. Then he came to Omaha and heroically performed his "pain ful duty" of putting himself for ward to be sat down upon for the good of the party. Then he goes back to Washington and dips his oar in Mr. Hill's Rockwell-Nyes elction case and the New York senator-boss boxes his ears and orders the democrats to pay no at tention to oratorical upstarts from the west who rant about courage and duty, and the democrats mind Mr. Hill as usual.

A Ilicleou Soimil That Trlen tli Nervoi of I lit N-w Soldier. The talk turned uixju i;ernonal cour age in a conversation I hsul the other day with an aid-ilo-cauip of Generrl Alexander nays. The veteran, who had the name of lein the most daring aid on Hays' staff, said: "You ask me how I felt when I first smelled powder, so to 6jeak. Well, after the lapse of all thettj years I'm almost ashamed to tell you. I was panic stricken, scared out of my senses, my courage oozed out of me in an instant, and a small boy conld have captured me without trouble. This aw ful experience came after I had been alout a year in the army. The regi ment of infantry in which I was was pre paring to go into e;nni. We were a few miles outside of -Yorktown, which was in the possession of the Confederates, but none of us, not even our officers, realized the proximity of the enemy. There were some cattle with the army, and some how or other some of my com rades and I were part of the crowd that drove the beeves to the place where they were to be slaughtered. We formed a circle, a sort of hull ring, and fell to skylarking and firing our pistols at the cattle as they ran hither and thither. It was all laughter and shouting. Suddenly, without the slightest warning, a sound that we had never heard before rose above the clamor. It was a sort of whirring howl, lasting a few seconds only, but long enough to strike terror into our hearts. The men who had been as gay and noisy as school boys a minute before were dumb. 1 don't remember how they behaved. My own affairs kept me busy. I felt as if niy hoots were nailed to the ground. They wouldn't move, neither would my legs in fact I had lost control of my body. I was perfectly limp and my knees sagged out. "That was the first strange sound, as of some hideous, deadly bird flying over head. I hardly realized, mind you, that the enemy was shelling us. All I knew for sure was that somehow my life, which I had enjoyed so much a minute before, was in danger. I wanted to run, but my legs wouldn't obey me. Two shells passed over me before I could shake off the paralysis. Then I ran as I never ran before or since, with a profes sional sprinter's speed, to the shelter of the woods from which our regiment had only just emerged. A second terror seized me as I reached the first scatter ing trees. I had selected one, a big fel low, as my refuge, and when I reached it three other men who were crouched behind it pushed me violently away, saying there wasn't room for more. Shells were still in the air, and with ter ror I pursued my flight. When at last 1 fell exhausted upon the ground beyond the range of the enemy's artillery, I al most lost consciousness for awhile. "Nobody was killed by those shell3. but the Rebs' must have laughed to see us run, and laughed louder yet when our cattle ran into their lines as they did. I felt more or less uncomfortable always in going into battle afterward, but never again lost my nerve as I did at my fire baptism before Yorktown." Pittsburg Dispatch. Why We Have Leap Tears. Why is it that there have to be leap years that all our years are not of the same length? It arises from the fact that the year does not consist of ao ex act number of days. The length of the day and that of the year are the meas ures of the motions of the earth. The globe we live on moves in two ways. It turns itself around like a spinning top, and at the same time it goes steadily forward like a bullet shot from a gun. It turns itself once completely around in twenty-four of our hours, as ehown hy the clock; this amount of time we call a day. Its forward or onward motion carries it around the sun in a path that is nearly a circle; the time it takes to go completely around we call a year. The first motion gives us day and night fol lowing each other in turn (the word "day" here having now a different meaning namely, not twenty-four hours, hut the time of daylight. The second motion gives us days (that is, periods of daylight) growing gradual ly longer and then gradually shorter, one end of the earth turning more to ward the sun for half the time and the other end for the other half; and this brings us summer and winter and the seasons. Now the length of the year is found to be nearly 365 times the length of the day of twenty-four hours; that is, the year is 365 days long and nearly six hours more. It is these six hours that give us our leap years, and it is in the "nearly" that we find the reason for 1900 not being one of their number. Rev. George Mc Arthur in St. Nicholas. Cripples at the Capital. Strangers in the capital express much surprise at the number of cripples to be seen here, and offer various explanations of the sight. The majority of maimed citizens are office holders, who were crip pled during the late war. The form in which they are mostly injured is the loss of an arm, of tener the left one, as obser vation shows. Many have parted with a leg, and the suppliers of substitutes in willow,' cork or rubber in Washington aver that this is one of the best markets in the country for their profession; Be sides these injuries received through violence, there are scores of people in the government service who are afflicted with natural deformities. They are to be found particularly in the treasury de partment. Kate Field's Washington, Spot Cash MANY YEARS AGO THE POET WROTE: "Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long."
