Of any Cass County Paper.
Accokdino to the News of that town
Nebraska City had a tight at tho polls
with tho water company and the com
pany won. The water rents down
there will evidently be paid without
further ceremony.
J. S. Clakkson, of Ues Moines, says
the McKinley boom is waning, when,
as a matter ef fact, itisClarkson that
is warning except in his own
over-estimation. Tho ex-Iowa boss
should subsidefor a time and give tho
procession time to catch up.
The suit of the Plattsmouth Water
company against this city in the fed
eral court will, if a new attorney is
put in, be promptly knocked out. Tho
bungling work of tho water company's
attorney will delay the settlement of
their claim and make them a nice bill
of costs to pay.
Under the last year of tho McKin
ley law the importations of farm pro
ducts in this county were $51,000,000.
During the first year of the Wilson
law the importations of the same kind
of products were $107,000,000. This is
a sample of what the democrats call
capturing the markets of the world.
Ex.
Messrs. Steimker, Ilinshaw, John
son, Lloyd and McKay fell under the
wheels of the democratic juggernaut.
Their opponents were in no instance
superior men, or in anywise better
equipped for the office of councilmen,
but they had the votes just the same.
and since the public wanted a trial of
democracv it is decreed that we shall
have it.
MAYOR Newell did not ask lor a
renomination, in fact he did not want
it, and if any of his enemies can ex
tract any satisfaction from his defeat
thev are welcome to do so. His
record as a conservative, careful and
safe executive remains unimpeached
That he was handicapped by outside
influences is plain to be seen, but he
has no recrrets or complaint to maKe
over the result.
J. I. Cnkuh's friends made a gallant
fight for the office of treasurer and
came within a few votes of wiping out
the democratic majority. - He had for
his opponent the best equipped demo
crat in the city, who never lost any
time in organizing his forces. The re
sult, while disappointing, shows at
least that in the face of a bitter fight
Mr. Unruh is one of the strongest men
in the party residing in this city.
Walter Wellman says that the
only hope of the opponents of Major
McKinley is in the "insincerity of the
McKinley delegation." In other words
they hope there will be enojgh liars
and traitors in the convention to
change what now seems to bo the in
evitable result. The Jig is evidently
about up for the anti-McKinley com
bination. National conventions are
not yet made up of that kind of peo
ple. State Journal.
The Spanish government, which was
spoiling for a fight in case the house
and senate recognized the Cubans as
belligerents, is not so "scrappy" since
the act they complained of has been
consumated, and now talks of com
promise. Much now depends on the
attitude of the president. If he shows
a patriotic spirit and takes a bold
stand Cuba will become a free and in
dependent country. On the other
hand, if he temporizes and shows hos
tility to the struggling Cubans, Spain
may yet overcome them and secure
their further subjugation.
When President Harrison came
into office March 4, 1889, the interest
bearing debt of the United States was
$858,100,220 and the annual interest
thereon $34,998,460. By November 1,
1892, the debt had been reduced to
$585,032,020 and the interest to $22,
513,523. On the 1st of this month, after
three years and a half of democratic
government the debt had increaseu'to
$837,404,140 and the interest to $33,
646,907. Tho interest-bearing debt has
been increased 43 per cent and the an
nual interest charge 49 per cent.
Truly, democracy costs. Indanapolis
Journal.
Plattsmouth is clearly a demo
cratic town by at least 100 majority,
and republicans, with ever so strong a
ticket, must secure a good many dem
ocratic votes before any hopes for
electing men of that faith can be
entertained. The republican city
. ticket was a strong one, and seemed to
us to appeal to the best elements of all
parties for success. Thorough demo
cratic organization, coupled with republican-perfidy
did the work, how
ever, and the entire city and alder
manic ticket was defeated with the ex
ception of cityclerk, B. C Kerr, who
seemed to have a charmed life, escao
. Ing the shower of democratic ballots
that rained down all day, without a
scratch, his majority reaching the
flattering figures of 217. The school
board ticket was divided in the middle.
Woki comes from Lincoln to the
effect that while Gov. Holcomb re
fused to pardon Pugilist Lindsay he
has turned him out on parol. This
parol law makes a farco of the crimi
nal courts, and every man that helped
to put such a piece of infamy on the
statute books ought to bo marked as
an enemy of justice and common de
cency. The disposition to slop over
with sympathy, every time a murderer
or felon is covicted of a heinous crime,
on tho part of a good many people, is
to be deplored, and such laws should
be made for the punishment of crimi
nals as would prevent a sickly un
wholesome sentiment from thwarting
justice by turning law-breakers loose.
It would bo better to abolish the crimi
nal courts, save the enormous costs
incurred in the trial of criminals and
turn them free in the first place than
to do so later on.
The last hope of tho bosses and anti
McKinley republican's now rests with
ex-President Harrison. Tho favorite
son deal has not panned out. Hoed,
Allison, Morton and Quay c:innot rally
enough votes to prevent McKinley s
nomination on tho first ballot, hence,
something else must be reported to.
Tho pushing of Harrison to tho front
can alone make McKinley's nomina
tion on the first ballot uncertain and
we hope the sterling good sense of the
ex-president wiil prevent his aiding
these men, who are not his roai friends,
in an effort to farm out the presidency
and thwart the honest will of tho
people.

HER BOOK FRENCH.
Errors Made by a Hoarding; School Girl In
I'aris.
"It is a wise old saw which advises
one 'not to go to France unless you
know the lingo,' and indeed it is desir
able to know it pretty well if yon wish
to avoid humiliating little situations,"
said a Philadelphia young woman in
speaking of her experience. "I am an
American girl, and about a year ago
was rather proud of my boarding school
French, but I am wiser now. We were
a party of four my parents, myself and
a young lady, some years my senior,
who had been my schoolmate, but was
recently widowed. Our tour began in
Germany, and as we were all densely
ignorant of Germany, we were often
times compelled to depend greatly on
gesture language, especially in out of
the way places, where there were no
English speaking hotel or railroad clerks
and waiters. This gave us some decided
ly comical experiences, though it was a
revelation as to the capabilities of dumb
show and pantomime, but on touching
French soil I felt relieved and confident.
Alas for human pride! At the first
practical test, though I could read the
language easily enough, I found I could
scarcely catch a word.
"The sounds seemed to fly like winged
arrows, and it might have been Chi
nese, so far as my understanding it was
concerned. Some of the more consider
ate, out of pure instinctive politeness,
would speak very slowly, and then I
could get along well enough, and in the
course of a few days I began to recover
some of my old confidence. My first real
humiliation came at a restaurant in the
Palais Royal, when I wanted a spoon
(cuiller) and asked for a staircase (es
calier). I got over that, however, but
was caught shortly afterward with the
word 'frappe on the wine list, which
stnek me altogether until a young Eng
lishman told me it meant Meed.' By
this time the conceit was rapidly oozing
out of me, and two more little incidents
brought on the catastrophe. Onr party
determined one day to go to the theater,
and I undertook to ask the clerk of tho
hotel about it, and in what I thought
the purest Parisian French told him we
wanted a box, which I translated 'boite.
Unable quite to restrain his laughter,
he said, 'Mademoiselle means a loge. ' "
"I then discovered that 'boite' means
a dry goods box, or any other kind al
most rather than one at a theater. But
worse remained. I wanted to explain to
some French people that my friend, the
widow, was in mourning for her hus
band, and I tried to say, 'Elle est en
deuil parceque son mari est mort,' she
is in monrning because her husband is
dead. Unfortunately my conjugation of
verbal participles was weak, and I sub
stitnted the word 'morne' for 'mort,'
which made me say, 'She is in mourn
ing because her husband is a codfish.' "

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
Frrliaps the Moat Curious of His Many
Singular Adventure.
"In a house that 1 went into one
night in the country," said the retired
burglar, "I saw when I got up on the
second floor a light coming out into the
hall from an open door. When I got a
look into that door, I saw a man all
dressed standing leaning over a bed. I
couldn't see his face, but I could see
anxiety on the back of his head. Lying
in the bed was a child, thin and white
and still, but awake and looking tip at
its father. Backing out of the door, I
ticked my lamp against the door jamb.
Tho man looked up. He wasn't scared.
I doubt if he would have been anyway,
but he was thinking of something else
now.
" 'Come in,' he says, and I went in,
"The child looked at me as I walked
across the floor, and then looked up
again at its father, saying nothing, but
just lying there and looking up.
"How the man caino to be fixed in
that way, all alone with that child, I
could not even guess. Wife jnst died
maybo, but there he was and thinking
of nothing else in the world, and the
child was the pitifullest looking little
child I ever saw.
"What the man wanted was to have
me go for the doctor. He told me his
iiame, and the doctor's name, and where
he lived, and I went. It was late, you
understand, but I whanged away on the
doctor's door till I heard him open his
window. I told him what was wanted.
" 'All right,' he says, and I thought
by the way he said it he know about the
child.
"Then I went my way. I'd lost a
night, but what of that?" -New York

Iin-l on Ants.
The old saying that "one man's
meat is another man's poison," is aptly
illustrated in a true story entitled,
"All a Matter of Tasto," in tho April
number of "Chatterbox." Both little
and big folks will find instruction and
amusement in tho doings of an African
king, who liked to eat ants. "Tho
Treasures of San Antonio," an illus
trated story of adventure in search of
buried treasures, by F. Kussell, will
prove of absorbing interest to the
youths of tho family, while the little
ones aro sure to find delight in "Tho
Young Wanderers," the story of a
brother and sister who got lost, and
instruction in a sketch about "A Bird's
Cradle," that tells all about the nests
of different birds.
"Old Customs of St. Valentino's
Day,'' with illustrations, will interest
every member of tho family from
grandma to tho toddlers, and "The
Story of Nelson," and a bit of natural
history, entitled "Tho Games of
Swallows," will catch the fancy of the
boys. Another touch of natural his
tory is about "The Lily of tho Valley,"
and with its charming illustrations, is
evidently aimed to please not only the
little miss who is still absorbed in her
doils but also her big sisters.
Little boys and big boys, and the
girls as well, wiil be touched by the
story of "The Faithful Dogs"' and how
they saved a little girl from a poison
ous snake. In addition to all this
there are poems, illustrations, a story
of African adventure, fables, puzzles,
a frontispiece in ten colors and in fact
a feast of good things of a variety to
tickle tho intellectual palate of every
member of the family from the tot in
pantalettes to the "totterer" on
crutches. In its April number "Chat
terbox" more than substantiates its
claim to the formost rank among
periodicals for young and old. (Chat

PICKPOCKETS.
They Mont Have Nerves of Steel to Be
Successful Operators.
Because a man is a pickpocket it does
Dot necessarily follow that he is not
well educated nor a close observer of his
fellow mortals. The latter trait might
be said to be an absolute requirement to
a successful purloiner of pocket books.
One of the gentry who possessed both
characteristics expressed himself the oth
er day to an Enquirer reporter at police
headquarters :
"There is no class of artists who in
their calling are as dexterous as pick
pockets. This is due to a double incen
tive. Not only do we find a bait for
effort and exertion iu success, but havo
the added spur of a fear of failure.
Success means as much to a pickpocket
as to any man, and failure means a
great deal more.
"A vocation in which the slightest
slip means a loss of liberty and perhaps
of life will ever be apt to have a degiee
of expertness iu its followers not present
in more reputable and safer avenues of
trade.
"Pickpockets, like poets and other
people, are born, not made. Their nerves
must be iron and yet as sensitive as in
stinct. Their hands must be as com
plete iu make up and accomplishment
as Herrmann's, the magician, and strong
as steel, while light as down. Out of the
vast army of humanity who are soldiers
of the shadows only one-fourth of 1 per
cent can or do become pickpockets.
"These form the nobility of thieves
and are reverenced by the burglar as of
a higher class than they. The practice
of a pickpocket while not really at work
is as constant as that of some famed
professor of tho violin or harp. He
keeps pace with the profession. No
sooner does some jeweler invent a new
fastening for diamond pins or studs
than these men of finest touch devise
tho motion which evades its purpose
"The chief object of a piepkocket,
after certainty, is speed. He cannot
dally with his victim by the hour.
What he does is to be over in a flash.
Speaking of pins and studs, there lias
never been a fastening so complex but
the expert thieves could defeat it in a
motion. They do in their business as
fine work as any Hindoo, and the thief
himself could not analyze or explain its
detail. His powers of execution have
gono far beyond his powers of reception
or relation.
"A pickpocket consults his own nerv
ous condition constantly. No fine lady
ever has such a tinio withlier nerves as
this aristocrat of the outlaws. If he
does not feel right, ho won't 'work.' "
