Bkyan and Hogg is the euphonious title of what eonie Bay w ill bo tho next popocratic presidential ticket, though both men orofestto be democrats. The name is quite suggestive. SOME of Bryan's enthusiastic wor shippers in this city are said to be booming him for congress. This would be unfair to a crowd of fledge ling popocrats who seem to think the horizon wears a pinkish shade por tending' victory for some of their number. SlNCK priating Allen offered a bill appro money for a new postoffice building at Lincoln which at first the poople laughed at the old-time Lincoln sentiment of grab-everything- in-sight has come to tho front, and public meetings are being called to boom the new postoffice. John Redmond, the Irish member of parliament, who took Parnell's place as leader in the home rule ranks after his death, arrived in New York yesterday. He is as vigorously anti English as ever and hs buoyant hopt-s of seeing Ireland with a local self-government of its own. CnAHLES Mokkill is surveyor of customs at Lincoln by recommenda tion of Senator Thurston. Mr. Mor rill has held some sort of a public office with rare continuity for about twenty years, and will probably not be pried loose til the grim reaper gets in his work and those more worthy have died ot old age. W. F. Bechel is no longer auditor of the Pacific Express Co., he having been displaced by Erastus Young Bechel was a royal fellow with a heart as big as an ox and a regiment of per sonal friends all over the state who will be sorry to learn of the change. The re organization of th9 U. P. railway is what brought it about. The Hawaiian annexation treaty will come up in the senate Monday, and it is said that several votes in favor of the proposition have been gained during the recess. A two thirds majority is required to accept and ratify the treaty, and it seems a pity that near one-third of the sena tors belong to the cheap, narrow class who don't want our country to grow. Governor Uolcomb shows the ut ter worthlessness of reform claims from professional reformers by accept ing $1,500 as bouse rent from the state treasury which the last republican governor refused to touch. The act ual expense of the governor for house rent is said to be about $400, the bal ance is a nice little rake off which evidently tastes to a reformer as to anyone else. It is an old joke that the mint is the only place which can make money without advertising, but few of the people who pass it every day could suspect that this quiet looking. build ing, where there is never any bustle of business and never any appearance of energy, turned out last year more than $51,000,000 of money in more than 76,500,000 seprrate pieces. The moral seems to be that it is not always the most conspicuous business that yields the greatest results. Ex.

W. J. Bryan talked calamity to a crowd of banqueters in Chicago Fri day night who were trying to do honor to a great man. The Nebraska states man never appeared 6o little and showed up tha 6mall calibre and petti foeing nature of the man 60 clearly as he did in trying to prove that wages had been reduced all over the country because in one solitary in-jaruv-that of . the Massachusetts cotton sp'Inuers wages bad been cut. Cotton factories in the south had increased their wages and thous ands of idle cotton looms had been started all over the manufacturing districts, and Mr. Bryan seemed to think the public was so ignorant that the real facts were not known and that his attempt to distort the facts would help his cause. As a matter of fact such a epeech only injures the man who makes it. l lid jjm ..et.A.jf ..ews-i.e.a.u I HE Diiiv'oy law greeted the country with a handsome New Year'c gift in a comfortable surplus for tho month of December. During the en tire threo years in which tho Wilson law was on the statute books tho monthly statements wore an almost unbroken succession of deficits. Dur ing the three months prior to the ef facement of the act from the Btatute books the importers rushed-in enor raous quantities of such classes of goods as would be subjected to higher rates of duty under tho new law, and thus reduced to that extent importa tions during the first few months un der the new law. As a consequence tho first month under the Dingley act produced only" about $19,000,000, The second month it rose to $22,000, 000, in round numbers; the third $24,' 000,000, the fourth, $25,000,000, and the fifth, $28,000,000, in round numbers, producing in that fifth month of its record a suplus of nearly $2,000,000 This remarkable growth in the re ceipts under this new law in the face ot adverse conditions fully justifies the predictions made by its friends that it will, as soon as conditions become nor mal, produce sufficient revenue to meet running expenses and accumu late something of surplus again in the treasury. While it must not be ex pected that the January receipts will equal tho expenditures of that month, because of the very large interest pay ments that must be made in January, and also because of other heavy ex pcaditures in the first calendar year, there is every reason to expect that the growth in receipts which has been so marked a characteristic of the record of the Dingley law up to this time will continue, and before the end of the fiscal year the country will have the pleasure of seeing the treas ury collecting easily, smoothly, and satisfactorily, with the proper distri bution of the burden of taxation, suf ficient revenue to meet all running ex- pens s, a condition which did not ex it at any time under the low-tariff Wilson law. At THE Lincoln banquet in honor of Wandering Willie's return from Mex ico, many thrusts were made at the alleged prosperity of the people, but we notice that the menu of the ban quet to which calamityites sat down included "Blue Points on the Half Shell, Superior White Fish, Saut eMaitre d'Hotel, Salted Breast of Quail, Barde, Drawn Butter, Sara oga Chips, Champagne Punch, Filets Mignone, Glance with Mushrooms." Tn view of this the banqueting calami tvites were literally condemned out of their own mouths, for these patrician viands all went down their gullets with great gastronomical gusto. Fremont Tribune.

Governor Bushnell's treachery is the chief sub ject for discussion among Ohio repub lican newspapers, and tne severe castigation he gets ought to make his ears burn all the time. Just now the unenviable fame of Benedict Arnold has been eclipsed by Governor Bush- nell. No language is too severly abu sive to be used toward the man with an ambition which overtowered his judgment. The friends of the silver cause will probably be quite distressed to ob serve that the gold mined, the world over, during the year just ended is es- timatea by Director Preston of the United States Mint at fully $240,000,000, being an increase of nearly twenty per cent over last year. The world's population increases on an average about one per cent per annum, and with gold increasing at the rate of twenty per cent per annum it would seem that nobody need be lying awake nights troubling himself about a lack of circulating medium, or struggling to find a way of increasing it with a depreciated and discarded metal.

We are in the vestibule of the greatest century of the world's history, which will witness amelioration of social and industrial conditions, not after the flimsy and impractical theories of the nineteenth century idealists, but by the application of sound business and ethical principles.

In this long interval she had never heard of her mother, from whom she had been taken when only six monts of age. A year later she was recapturod from the Indians by a foray of United States Infantry upon the tribes in the neighborhood of Ft.

Suspended Religion. Services Indefinitely lo Nurse the Victims of a Smallpox Kpl demlo An Eiample In This as lie Was In Ievotlon to the Flag. Deacon William Trowbridge was a email farmer living near Sheboygan Fall a Ho went there over 50 years ago. Besides tilling a little patch of ground the doacon, who was indeed the very soul of honor and ever had the respect and confidence of all in that commu nity, was in the habit, before regular preachers were sent there, of reading a sermon or exhorting. There was no eham about Deacon Trowbridge's piety. Ho was sincerity itself. Fifty years ago the little village was visited by a smallpox epidemic an old fashioned, widenproad and spreading epidemic and they didn't know how to scotch it as well as they do now. The first Sunday after tho dreaded disease made its appearance the deacon's congregation was quite large. At the end of the servioes he made an announce ment in about these words: "These services will be postponed un til after the smallpox disappears from the community. From this on I shall give my services to the stricken fam ilies. I shall minister to their wants, help to nurse them, and when they die follow them to the grave. It may be a long term or it may be a short term, but, however long or however short, it is my plain duty to help my, distressed neighbors. " The word was well suited to the ac tion which followed. The good old dea con hurried to his home, changed his clothes, bade his family goodby and at once began his work of mercy. What a work it was 1 The epidemic lasted near ly all winter. Largo numbers died. Few in the village escaped the disease. Tho deacon's example was followed by oth ers'. Men went to their homes, told their wives and children what the deacon had said and was doing, arranged their busi ness, provided fuel and provisions, kissed their dear ones and went to the aid of the unfortunate. Like the deacon they went without reward or hope of reward. Like him they spent weeks and some of them months in that service without daring to go home lest their dear onea catch the disease. The strangest of all this strange ex perience is the fact that neither the dea con, the good souls who imitated his ex ample nor their families were overtaken by the malady, notwithstanding the fact that the watchers, helpers and nurses were almost constantly in tho presence of the suffering patients and notwith standing the fact that they laid out and helped to bury the dead. Nearly half of the deacon's congrega tion had disappeared when, the next spring, he resumed services in the schoolhouse. It was a sorrowful Sun day. Those in the audience who had not lost members of their family had lost neighbors and dear friends. When the good old Christian had read a chapter, prayed and talked a practical sermon, he referred feelingly to the scenes through which the community had passed. I think every man, woman and child in tho room, including the deacon, wept. At the close of the talk he asked all present to join him on their knees in asking that the community might escape such visitations for all time to come. It was a most earnest appeal. I believe that that prayer has been an swered. There may have been a few cases of smallpox there since then, but there has never been an epidemic. The Sunday after Sumter was fired upon, and while Deacon Trowbridge was condncting services in the Baptist church, the denomination to which he belonged for over 80 years, he and his congregation were disturbed by a great commotion in the street right in front of the church. There were beating of drums and sounds of fife much out of tune. It was so uncommon a thing that most of the congregation walked or ran out of the church. Finally the dea con closed tho Bible and slowly follow ed his fleeing flock. When outside, he asked the cause of "this unseemly dis turbance on the Lord's day." Some one told him that the president had called for soldiers to uphold the honor and the flag of the nation and that they were going to raise a company xignt tnen and there. The old deacon's eyes flashed as ho walked out into the street, where a young fellow was irregularly pounding a bass drum, and said: "Nathan, I know it is Sunday and that all but the Lord's work should be abandoned, but the saving of our country and the shielding of its flag from dishonor is the Lord's work. Give me that drum. " And that model of piety strapped on the big drum and went to pounding, greatly outdoing Nathan in two re spects he made more noise and kept perfect time. He drummed as no one before had never drummed in the little village. As if it had gone on lightning wings, word new tnrougn tne comma- pulp!?3' Lcon Trowbridge had left his j00 ' iirum, auu uu ouiiuay Within half an hour nearly evex . in town and many from the outskirts had gathered around the old drummer, all cheering him, and on Sunday too. That night Nathan Cole, who had been relieved as drummer by the deacon went to Sheboygan with enough men to make up what became Company O of the Fourth Wisconsin. J. A.

In 1774 Philadelphia was the largest town in the American colonies. Esti mates of the population, which aro all we havo, differ widely, but it was prob ably not far from 30,000. A single city now has a larger population than all the colonies possessed in 1774, and there are in tho United States today 104 cities and towns of over 80,000 inhabitants. Figures alone, however, cannot express the difference between those days and our own. Now a town of 80,000 people is reached by railroads and telegraphs. It is in close touch with all the rest of the world. Business brings strangers to it constantly, who come like shadows and so depart, unnoticed, except by those with whom they are immediately concerned. It was not so in 1774, not even in Philadelphia, which was as nearly as possible the central point oi the colonies as well as the most popu lous city. Thanks to the energy and genius oi Franklin, Philadelphia was paved, light ed and ordered in a way almost unknown in any other town of that period. It was well built and thriving. Businesc was active, and the people were thrifty and prosperous and lived well. Yet, de spite all these good qualities, we must make an effort of the imagination to re alize how quietly aud slowly life moved then in comparison to the pace of today, There in Philadelphia was the center of the postal system of the continent. and the recently established mail coach called the "Flying Machine, "not in jest but in praise, performed the jour ney to JNew York in tne mtnerto un- equaled time of two days. Another mail at longer intervals crept more slowly to the south. Vessels of the coast wise traffic or from beyond seas came into port at uncertain times and aftei long and still more uncertain voyages. The daily round of life was so regulai and so quiet that any incident or any novelty drew interest and attention in a way which would now be impossible. Senator Henry Cabot Lodgo in Scrib- ner's. The Original Organ Grinder. When barrel organs, once the usual accompaniment of tho magic lantern, came into use, a native of the province of Tende was one of the first who trav eled about Europe with this instrument. In his peregrinations ho collected money enough to enable him to purchase from the king of Sardinia the titlo ol count of the country where he was born for which, probably, in a time of wax he did not pay above 1,000 guineas. With the remainder of his money he purchased an estate suitable to his rank and settled himself peaceably for the remainder of his days in his mansion. In the entrance hall of his dwelling he hung up bis magic lantern and his organ facing tho door, there to be care fully preserved till they moldered to dust, and he ordered by his will that any one of his descendants who should cause them to be removed should forfeit his inheritance and his patrimony revert to the next heir, or, in failure of a suc cessor, to the hospital of Tende. Only a few years ago the organ and lantern were still to be seen carefully preserved. Pearson's Weekly. Explained. "Who is that stout lady over there?"
