Mb. Bryan is sorry now that b
made that allusion in his Columbus,0
speech on Sept. 1 of last year to the
fact that Senator Sherman had as
sorted in 1890 that $42,000,000 of new
money Is necessary every year to keep
pace with the growth of population
and industry of the United States.Th
fact that the mints of the Uuited States
are going to add $100,000,000 to th
currency of the United States in the
fiscal year just ending, and that they
added $99,000,000 in the calender year
1896, and that their is today $138,149,
612 more money in circulation in the
country than there was when Mr
Bryan was making his speeches last
year, spoils the argument which he
attempted to make by quoting Mr
Sherman upon this point and indors
ing the sentiment thus quoted.

The Lincoln Call of Sunday must

state seemed to applaud the firm ac

trial, which was not made a farce of
by the silly objections and dilatory
tactics of the defendant's attorneys.

criminal in this state ever had, and

Judge Baker from his course, and the
judge's actions are applauded almost
universally. We are astonished and
humiliated to see a republican paper
utter a word for the man who has
done more to injure -the party than
all the democrats and pops could do
in half a century. Ben Baker may
want to run for congress such an
ambition is not criminal or reprehen

the blandishments of thieves grown
rich at publio expense, it is pretty
good evidence that be would not make

- sorry that more of our district judges
do not want to go to congress, too, if
that is the needful stimulant for per
forming their sworn duty in a fearless

A TRANSPORTATION STORY.
Away back in the days when the
populist party was a very small affair
and the farmers alliance was just be
ginning to make itself felt in the rural
districts, a political shyster started an
independent paper in a western Ne
braska city, says the Kearney Hub.
The first advertising contract made
was one with the Union Pacific rail
way, whereby he gave advertising
space in eichansre for transportation.
That was proper. ,
Months flew by and the organiza
tion of the populist party was effected.
Local populist politicians thought
they saw a chance to make a fortune
and they formed a stock company and
purchased the paper of the political
shyster. They came into possession
in the early spring, and one of the
first mails that the new managing
editor opened brought two neat little
pamphlets containing coupons good
for a thousand miles of transportation
on the great Union Pacific system.
He handled them with care and ex
pressed a desire to know what to do
with them. The foreman was called
in he had been converted by setting
tbe new editor's stuff and he backed
on from the desk a piece and eyed
them with great misgivings. An at
tempt was evidently being made to
muzzle tbe capacious mouth of a free
preis, Tbe mileage books were re
turned. Meantime the paper continued to
publish long drawn out article on
subjects like "Whither are We Drift,
ing" and "Watchman Wnat of the
Night." The populist party grew in
power, the subscription list became
larger and tbe paper became tbe
mouth pieca of ihe party and the ring
that controlled it. Subscribers paid
less frequently and the corporation
that owned the paper soon found itself
without the necessary resouroes to go
out of existence according to law.
Then two or three influential men
in the party got behind tbe foreman
and elevated him financially. He
bought the paper. It was used by the
ring and the spoils of office kept it
alive. Then a split came in the party
and another man came along and
bought the foreman out. He owns it
yet. Occasionally the agent of the
railway corporation drops in and after
a friendly chat with the editor goes
out. When he is gone a little coupon
book may be found lying on the edi
tor's desk. It is good for transporta
tion. It is partially or wholly paid
for in advertising. That is proper.
The trouble is the visits of tbe
agent are not close enough togetber
to suit the editor. He complains and
his complaints are read in Omaha by
the hired men of the soulless and con
scienceless corporation. The fact is
the railroad company finds it an im
possible job to keep filled tbe rapa
cious mouth of a "free" and "indepen
dent" preas.

Joe Bartley, one of the smoothest
crooks known to the Nebraska police,
was locked up in the Douglas county
jail the other day. He was too dis
tinguished a man to lock up with the
cheap people who steal hams or purses
or whip their wives, so he was put in
the residence portion of the jail, and
given all the comforts that a man
could ask. We are glad to see that
tbe officials of Nebraska jails recog
nize geniuj whenever they see it, and
encourage it. When the cheap thieves
see how well the past masters in the
art are treated, they will be inspired
to greater effort. There is always

Birthday of th Locomotive.
What has been regarded by some as
tbe birthday of the railway locomotive
occurred on Sept 27, 1825. with Ste
phenson as tbe father of the event. The
Stockton and Darlington railway had
been bnilt, and, through his persistent
Importunities, laid with iron, instead of
wooden rails. It bad been intended
merely for horse draft, but the inventor
prevailed upon the owners to allow hint
a trial of his steam locomotive.
Stephenson himself was the driver on
that occasion, and, before a tremendous
crowd of curious and for the most part
incredulous people, he drew a train of
nearly 80 wagons, loaded with passen
gers and coal, at a speed of 13 to 15
miles per hour. Thus the first train that
ever carried nassencera made its iournev I
in safety, and - the enthusiasm of tbe
multitude was indescribable.
But, notwithstanding this demonstra
tion, the locomotive was still uumerci
fully ridiculed by the majority. Nor
was this ridicule confined to the ignor
ant classes. Tho ablest engineers con
tended that it was ridiculous to suppose
that steam could ever be practically em
ployed in competition with horse power
for transportation. Almost incredible as
it may now seem, it is a fact that politi
cal economists inveighed against therai
way and tbe engine as constituting an
imaginary reform, which, even if success
ful which was very doubtful would
deprive stage drivers, teamsters and inn
keepers of their livelihood. It was in
the face of an almost universal opposi
tion, of thfk wilcl, unreasonable kind,
that a few men, led by tbe great Ste
phenson, labored steadily onward and
finally established the railroad and the
locomotive as . institutions of the laud.

The Future of Germany.
No one can prophesy the future of
Germany. But so much at least seems
clear that it will largely depend on the
course pursued by the socialista Three
alternatives seem open to them they
may indefinitely continue their present
opposition to tbe government, and then
they can only be a source of weakness,
or they may absorb the empire, trans
forming it into a feudal state, fatal to
liberty and therefore unstable, or they
may, in retnm for certain timely con
ce&sions, place their powerful organiza
tion at the service of the empire and be
its chief pillar of strength.
This is the consummation that every
friend of Germany and of humanity
must devoutly wish. It would bring ad
vantage to both sides and put an end to
autocracy. The empire would have to
abandon its attempt to return to im-
di&eval military despotism and allow its
subjects large liberty of thought, speech
and action, while the socialists would
have to abandon their notion of the stats
as a mere economic beehive and accept
it as tbe great institution ' for raising
man above slavery to physical needs in
to spiritual freedom and culture. In this
way Germany might be strong without
being enslaved, and the present condi
tion of things, against which all
thoughtful men rebel, might come to an
end. Professor Thomas Davidson in

AN ABLE POLICE HORSE.
He Can Count Up to Six and Perform
Other Feat.
The cleverest horse on the New York
police force is Pompey, whose register
ed number on the books of the depart
ment is 128. Let any horse or police
man who disputes this statement step
forward and prove to the contrary.
Pompey gave an exhibition of his tal
ents for the benefit of The Sunday Jour
nal. He can count and understands or
dinary conversation. He is, in fact, al
most as intelligent as a policeman.
He is the steed and inseparable com
panion of Roundsman Redmond P.
Keresey of the Thirty-eighth precinct,
which is in the annexed district. Pom
pey is remarkable not alone for his tal
ents; he has also a history, which is
full of human interest.
His intelligence developed so rapidly
that Keresey began to teach him a few
tricks. He would tickle him under the
right fore leg with a straw and say,
"Pompey, give me your right hand."
At first the horse would raise his leg to
avoid the tickling, but soon he learned
to do the same thing merely when he
heard the words "right hand. "
The same process taught him to offer
his left foot when politely asked to do
so. His education went on steadily, and
he learned to raise his right or his left
hind leg at a mere word from his mas
ter. Keresey made the horse understand
that when he used the word "papa" in
conversation he referred to himself
Keresey. Thus the policeman would
say, "Give papa your right hand," and
the animal would understand perfectly.
The horse's name also was varied occa
sionally to "Papa's Boy."
An interesting feature of Pompey's
education was the rapidity with which
he acquired knowledge. In two weeks
he raised his right foot when told to.
His teacher had fewer difficulties than
most men who train animals. Dogs are
usually found to be inattentive and un
duly exuberant. The superiority of the
horse lies not in greater intelligence,
but in greater docility.
The next stage was to make Pompey
say "Yes" or "No." A tickling on the
side of the neck caused him to move his
head eidewise. This was accompanied
by the command, "Say no." Finally
the tickling could be omitted. A titilla
tion of his chin taught him to move his
head up and down, which meant yes.
After this Pompey began to learn to
count. A light whip was placed on one
of his forelegs near the ground. He
raised the leg to avoid the obstacle
and tapped the ground lightly. Keresey
at the same time said, "Count one."
Then he counted one without the use of
the whip. This process was continued
until Pompey was able to count six,
which is his present state of proficiency.
"Say, it's 6 o'clock, time for relief,"
says Keresey, and Pompey gravely
scrapes his fore foot six times on the
ground.
He takes two steps to the right or left
when told to do so, and in fact has so
many accomplishments that they can
not all be enumerated here. New York
Journal.
The Ant Pest.
Soon the summer pest, ants, will be
gin to worry tho tidy housekeeper. Here
is what is alleged to be a sure remedy,
It is inexpensive and comparatively
harmless, at all events: Dissolve 1 part
of corrosive sublimate in 100 parts wa
ter, which will be a very strong dose,
Remove everything from the shelves
where the auts are, or tbe carpet from
the floor where they appear to come np,
and pour boiling water all around to
kill them and clean the wood. Then
pour the corrosive sublimate over the
shelves till it reaches all the cracks and
crevices and let it dry in. Then fill your
powder bellows with red pepper and
carefully blow the cracks and crevices
full of that. Cover the shelves with pa-
Xer or put your carpet back in place,
and you will scarcely be troubled again.
