1 J Hi VOL. VTL SO MOVES THE WORLD. Colorado gold mining stock is having a boom. George Augustus Sala, the great journ alist, is dead. There is an Apache uprising on the Arizona frontier. They are talking of raising the level of Lake Erie by means of a dam at Buffalo. Lord Dunraven is coming over to prove his charges against the American yacht men. Boston is the only part of New England that ia represented in congress by a Dem ocrat. There are about one million pensioners on the rolls drawing support from the government. Prof. Herrou last month delivered a large number of addresses in Boston and adjacent towns. Chicago and New York are now linked together and within speaking distance of each other by telephone. Twenty-five states out of forty-five have not one Democrat representative in the lower house of congress. The Chicago Gas Trust won a victory, Judge Showalter deciding that compan ies can combine when and where they please. It is estimated that 250,000 Armenians whose homes have been plundered and destroyed by their Mohammedan neigh bors will die of starvation this winter, unless kept alive by charity. St. Augustine Peak in New Mexico, is in a state of eruption. The bursting forth of the crater thought long since to have become extinct, has produced great excitement in the territory. Nearly all the rich strikes or finds in gold or other mines are now made by hired men in the employ of the corpora tions. So the poor have less and less chance to become enriched bv the mining lottery. A visitor in the gallery of the national House of Deputies, France, fired two shots across toward the diplomatic gal lery last week. No one hurt. The man, Gilbert Lenoir, was apprehended, but no explanation is given. In the Times-Herald moto-cycle con test Thanksgiving day the carriage of the Duryea Motor Wagon company of Springfield, Mass., won the first prize of 2,000. H. Mueller's carriage; a Decatur 111., inventor, won second prize. Dr. Ablwardt, the Austrian anti-semi-tic agitator, is in America on a lecturing tour against the Jews. A Christian (falsely so-called) who takes usury, or in terest as it is now called, is no whit better than the Jew who does the same. The situation at Constantinople has changed for the worse during the past week. In twenty-five days preceding Nov. 15 it is estimated that 15,000 Armenians were massacred and 200,000 robbed and rendered homeless. The Sul tan is thonght to have instigated the lawlessness and massacres. A negro named Isom Kearse and his aged mother were beaten to death in Colleton county, S. C, by a mob Dec. 2d. The alleged crime of Kearse was the stealing of a Bible and some pulpit fur niture from the church. The mother was killed because she could not testify against her son. The charge was not proven. It must be the people of South Carolina greatly appreciate their Bibles. There were 272 bi'ls and 16 resolutions introduced in Congress Dec. 3d. Among them are free coinage bills by Senators Peffer and Stewart and a resolution by Senator Allen for the immediate recogni tion of the Cuban insurgents.the annexa tion of all islands proximate to the United States, the upholding of theMun roe doctriue and a firmer foreign policy respecting the protection of American citizens abroad. Senators Cullom and Lodge also offered resolutions enunciat ing and supporting the Munroe doctrine. A Cnrloni Transformation. A fashionable audience in Paris re ently listened to a lecture on chemis try by a celebrated chemist. At the conclusion of the lecture a lady and gentleman who were among the first to leave the hall had reached the open air, when the lady caught her escort staring at her. "What is the matter?" asked the madame, in surprise. "Pardon me, but you are Quite blue!" The lady re turned to the hall and approached a mirror. She started back in horror. The rouge upon her cheeks had been -converted into a beautiful blue by the chemical decomposition which had taken place under the influence of the gases which had been generated dur ing the lecture. The majority of the women in the audience had suffered in a similar manner. There were all sorts of colors blue, yellow, violet and black. Some whose vanity had in duced them to put ivory on the skin, coral on the lips, rouge on the cheeks and black on the eye-brows had under gone a ludicrous transformation. New York Tribune.

Sweden has doctors, but . no doctors' bills. If you have occasion to call in physician you will find him not only skillful in his nrofession but a highly educated and most honorable gentle man. You will also have another proof of the honesty of the Swedes ana ineir friendly confidence in each other. Swedish doctors send no bills to their natients. What you shall pay your physician is left entirely to your own choice. The rich pay him liberally whether they have need of his services or not, if he has been once retained by them. The poor Day him a small sum and the very ooor Day him nothing. Yet be visits the poor as faithfully as he does the rich. On the last day oi tne vear vou nut into an envelope, ad dressed to your physician, a sum of money which you think not only sum cient to compensate him, but in accord flnca with vour Dosition in life, and in closing your card with the money, send the enveloDe by a servant to your doc tor. The servant returns with the card of the doctor in a sealed envelope di rented to vou. This shows that he has received your money and no word about the matter ever passes between you. Should you send him nothing he will come and prescribe for you all the next year and as long as you live, and he is too dignified ever to say a word about it VERY SAD. Royal Brothera Who Played to a Traglo End. New York World: There is some thing particularly sad about the news that a villa has been leased in Nice for the use of the Russian czarowitz dur ing the coming winter. For if he lives to make a trip to the south of France it is well nigh certain that he will return thence a corpse, in the same way as that other czarowitz, the elder brother of Alexander III., who was likewise taken to Nice only to die. By a strange coincidence both czarowitzes will have succumbed to the same malady con sumption, produced by the same cause namely, a blow in the chest in Aided during a rough and tumble play by a brother. In the case of the Czarowitz Nicholas, the blow was struck by his younger brother, Alexander, who not only took his place as heir to the throne, but also married his betrothed, the now wid owed czarina; while in the case of Czarowitz George, the blow was deliv ered by the present czar and not, as has been stated, by that young Anak. Prince George of Greece. Only a few months have elapsed since another Russian grand duke, Alexis by name, the 21-year-old son of old Grand Duke Michael, breathed his last at Nice, a victim of consumption, and the consort of Alexander II, likewise succumbed at Nice to the same fell diease, which had been permitted to progress beyond all remedy owing to her absolute refusal on the score of prudery to permit the physicians to examine her chest and back. When Dr. Botklne, the father of the young diplomat, recently secretary. of the Russian legation at Washington, finally induced her to submit to a proper examination, it was already too late to do anything else than merely; retard the fatal Issue. , II I III T LINCOLN, NEB., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1895. . - f v- I Brother Maiben'H I,RHt Words I 1111 v II 1 MI I'lML" The following letter was written only a few days before Mr. Maiben met with the sad accident which caused his death. Editor Wealth Makehs. In walking through the state fair held in Lincoln in 1891, I saw a beautiful showing of the bee industry, and in ex amining into the forms of the hives, it amused me to see how nicely the bee fancier got an insight into the working of those industrious little insects; for by placing a small class in the hive box, he could see how they were progressing in the manufacture of honey, so that he would know whether ha could rob them and leave them enough to just winter over. It reminds me of some members of the human family who travel over our grand prairie states, such as Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, and they report to their wholesale firms and board of trade men, how the industrious farm ers are doing in their labor to raise big crops, so that these gentle, kindhearted members of the board ot trade can specu late on our labor, aud fix the prices up or dowu just enough to winter over. If a good rain falls on our corn, it is over production; if the winds are a little scorching, why it must raise the prices a little, so on it goes. Now it does seem to me we farmers ought to learn another lesson of these industrious little insects. It is described as follows, by a writer in the last century. He says: "About autumn the indolent arones, (lawyers, bankers, usurers and board of trade men. etc..) who have not added anything to the common stock, either wax or honey, are led out from tne nives and deprived of their wings to prevent them from returning to the hives, lest they should consume the stored up pro visions which working bees have taken pains and labor to collect." Now is not this a good lesson to tne farming community, to enter into their Alliances and devise some scheme to clip the wings of these harpies who just feast and live by the toil of our farming com munity? This may sound rather anarchical, oat it does seem to me ridiculous to see our farmers going up to these grain men, and asking the price of grain that they have toiled to raise. Why not ascertain their own Drices. and do as other members of society do, say, our goods are so and so, and not be dependent on a gang oi gamblers? Yours for equivalency. Palmyra, Neb., John S.

Camped Oat. An amusing story Is told of the late ex-President Schenk of Switzerland, Unlike other potentates of Europe, he has been known for years past to spend his annual vacations in tramping among the Alps with one or more ot his sons. Thus during the year of his last presidency(1893) he started off with two sons upon a tramp through one ot the adjacent mountain provinces of France, and, as he was wont to do, took along the requisite camping ma terial, such as is used by the army of Switzerland when engaged in annual maneuvers. Arriving late one evening in the sub urbs of a village, they proceeded to put up their tent and prepare for sup per, when the gendarme of the place came up and ordered them away, or first proceed to the mayor under arrest and secure a permit. President Schenk, although somewhat fatigued, at once strapped on his knapsack and accom panied the officer to the mayor, rather amused than vexed by the turn things had taken. Upon being confronted by the mayor, Fresldent Schenk presented his passport, signed by himself, and duly authenticated by the French am bassador at Berne, Count Laufrey, which referred to the hearer as "his excellency, the president of the Swiss Confederation." At first the mayor seemed quite dum founded, but recovering himself, at once, in the most obsequious manner. begged the president to excuse the aC' tion of the police officer, and fairly pleaded to nave him accept the hos pitality of the town, lest it might be said his corporation had failed to be comingly honor so distinguished a guest. But President Schenk, in his habitual good humor, soon quieted the agitated mayor, and assured the high est honor that could be offered to him would be to let him do as he pleased, and it would please him most to be al lowed to camp out with his party, as had all along been his practice, when upon his annual vacation tramps. Pres ident Schenk, as usual, slept in his tent that night upon an open field. L. P. Davis, Dentist over Rock Island MMrnf nfflna cor. 11th find O streets. Bridge and. Crown Work a specialty.

IS; B-0. Hardin THi PRESENT SYSTEM SELFISH The Divine Lawgiver Commands Repent ance and That We by Repentance Change the Selfish System All Good Depend on Obedience i' ' TiXTfThj will be done on earth ai It Is In heaven. ; i The first word that Jesus uttered when he began his public ministry is positive proof of the evil of , the then existing social and moral conditions, and of the necessity of reform. He says to his hear ers "Repent I" "Turn your back upon the existing order that has brought you to the very verge of political, social and moral ruin, and accept the new order, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." We do not need to go to the musty records of profane history to learn that the social and moral conditions of the people at that day were at war with the social and moral welfare of society and had in curred the displeasure of God. The words of the greatest of all reformers will convince you of that. Neither do we need to search the musty records of the past to understand the nature of the reformation introduced by Jesus and carried forward by his apostles. Now he has told us in language not to be misunderstood "The kingdom of heaven id at land." A new sociology, of divine origin and birth, was to take theplace of the old order a sociology wherein the will of the Father might be done in earth as in heaven. Cut, the objector to our view of the meaning of Christ in his announcement of the near approach of the coming king dom will say: "Ah, this was wholly a spiritual kingdom and would b set up in the hearts and would affect only the spiritual and religious life of the nation, and would hav9 nothing whatever to do with the political and sociul life of the people. I answer: Certainly the kingdom o' heaven set up in the earth, would, doubt" less, greatly affect the religious or spirit" ual life of the people, but can a people be morally right and at the same time poli tically and teocially wrong? To my way of thinking there can be but one kind of right, and a people cannot be right and wrong both at the same time. You can not be socially wrong, or in wrongsocial relations with your fellows, and at the same time be religiously right in your re lations with God. You must not only love God, but you must love your neigh bor as yourself. Neither can you be poli tically wrong and be soeially right. There is so close a relation existing be tween our political duties that we dare not say we may go on from day to day in a life of political wrong doing, and yet have the approval of our social con science. Hence, I agree that the coming kingdom of heaven whose near approach Jesus has heralded forth, calling upon the people to repent and turn away from present customs and environment, was to affect and completely change not alone the religious life of that nation, but the social and political life as well. That, in its effects, the kingdom of heaven in earth was to do away, forever, with the indus trial, political, social and moral condi tions that had robbed th nation of its life and brought it to poverty and ruin, and was to build up such political, indus trial, social and moral conditions as are named, "the kingdom of heaven," in which the will of God should be done in earth as in heaven. But what are we to understand by the "will" of God? Why the mind or inten tion of God expressed in the form of law. We call the ten commandments the law of God, hut the real law existed before the writing of the commandments, the writing being simply the expression of liis will or intent. Really God has but one law. As there is only one kind of right, so, also, there is but one law. All otherstatutesare but precepts of the one great law, and that is the law of love. Thou shalt love God. Thou shalt love thy neighbor. Hence, His will done in earth means nothing more nor less than that his love should rule on earth as in heaven. Not much has been revealed to us of conditions in heaven, butenough toshow us that all is harmony there; that there is no sorrow nor tears, no breaking up of families, no wounded hearts, no weary and aching heads; that its inhabitants live in perfect accord. And their principal occupation might be described in the sentence. "They are constantly doing the will of God." Now His will, done in earth as in heaven, would be replacing our present social and moral relations in which we are prompt ed by a spirit of individualism, with those social and moral relations prompt ed and emphasised by t he spirit or law of love. Ant this was what was in tlia mind of Jesus to accomplish when he bo gan his public ministry. The angelic announcement of his ad veut into our world was "Peace on earth and good will, or God's will love to man;" hence when we pray, "Thy will be done in earth as in heaven," we pray for the accomplishment of God's purpose to ward men in the establishment of those social, political, industrial and moral conditions expressed in Jesus' words, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." It is praying for the abolition of those self seeking conditions that have bred our present competitive strife, strife that has brought us as a nation to the verge of political, social and moral ruin, and for the establishment of that divine civiliza tion based on God's one aud only law of love. Are the conditions under which we con tinue to exist as a nation in accord with this great law ot God. Are we, socially, morally or. politically, actuated in our conduct toward each other by the law of love? If so, we do not need to pray this prayer. But it is not so. Take np any department of our national or social life, and the spirit of competitive indivi dualism will be fonnd to be the inspira tion of our national or social actions. In one form or another the same selfish, competitive, industrial system under which we at present live, has existed since the history of men began. We have never had any other system, and what ever of industrial wrong exists, and what ever is socially wrong innst be charged to that same industrial system which it was the mission of Jesus to overthrow. Since there is but one kind of right, and lacking the principal of moral right, or, in other words, living in disobedience to the one great law, our moral sense must pronounce against the civilization of the past and present the verdict wholly wrong. It is a part of the same system that destroyed the national life of the Jews; that overthrew the Roman govern ment; that brought forth the terrors of the French revolution; that twice drench ed our own land in blood, and that fur nished the incentive for the crucifixion ol the Son of God. I have no sympathy with that class of preachers who counsel submission to the evils from which we today are suffering, with our only hope of reward in the life eternal. Jesus exhorted his desciples to say, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand" -not a far away thing, to the view of which distance lends enchantment, but close by, near at hand. And he tells them,"YVhen you pray.say, 'Our Father, thy will be done in earth' not elsewhere 'as it is done in heaven.'" It is evident to me that the only thing that stands in the way of the coming in of that time is our own wills. He said to the Jew, Repent He says to us, Re pent; the kingdom of heaven is at hand. But why must our present industrial and social system be abolished before we can expect the will of God to be done in earth as in heaven? For the reason that there is but one kind of right. Before men will obey the law the will ot Uod they must rspent, must turn away from that which is wholly selfish and which arrays brother against brother. As individuals and as a nation we are socially and industrially wrong and therefore morally wrong. We stand upon the verge of ruin. Being socially and industrially wrong we can not be morally right; and being morally wrong we are in no condition to yield up our self love the love of the Ego to the unselfish love or will of God. Before the coming of the kingdom of heaven to earth, there must be a great moral and social awakening. I here must be a na' tional revival of religion on lines that embrace the material welfare of the hu man race in this world, as well as its spiritual welfare in the next. There must be born within us a desire to see the will of God done in the earth as in heaven, that expresses itself not only in the form of words, but in social actions as well. To little purpose do we pray. "Thy will be done on earth as in heaven," unless we also work for that end. Our part of the work that must be done before that much desired time shall come, is as im portant as God's part. God works through human instrumentalities, and if the human part fails, His part will not be done. What part have we to perform in usher ing in the new heaven and the newearth. Looking back along the stream of our own time, we can see the agencies that have been at work In solving the problem of national ruin. We can discover those political policies that have brought the curse of bankruptcy upon our nation and extreme poverty and destitution up on those who nave always been its brain and brawn. We can trace the bearing of these policies upon our nation's progress and prosperity. We can search out those policies that have dethroned the rights of a large class of our citizens to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And we can declare solemnly in the sight of God that we will not longer support these policies. If each of us who are here to day would begin to do the will of God here as it is done in heaven, we would soon see such a revival of the religion of love as would transform our part of the earth into a garden of H,den. And the influence of the Spirit would not stop with ns, but would spread its benign and life giving power to other communities until our state and nation might beset on fire with a zeal whose outcome would be a new heaven and a new earth. voruaiiiorniaana ruget oonna points quick get ticket 117 So. 10. . k MS NO. 27 The Duties of a Citizen TThe followinir excellent composition by Clara Owens of the Nebraska Institute for the Blind, a member of Mr. Dawes' political economy class, we gladly pub lish.

Although Sheridan's well-konwn char acter Mrs. Malaprop did "own the soft Impeachment," we must credit Shakes peare with the origin of the saying that "comparisons are odorous" (so frequently attributed to that estimable lady), as he puts these words in the mouth of Dogberry. Ben JonBon ("The Tale of a Tub," act lv., scene ill.) and Butler ("Hudibras," part 1, canto 1, line 821) both "smell a rat," and to Tusser, the author of "Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry," the truism, "Better late than never," is due. The great Na poleon may sneeringly have called us a "nation of shopkeepers" ("una nation boutiquerie"), and have expressed the opinion that Providence is on the side of the big battalions; but the first Is borrowed from Adam Smith ("Wealth of Nations," Vol. 2, published in 1775, when Napoleon was a child), and the second is a plagiarism from Voltaire's letter to M. le Rlche, lated Feb. 6, 1770, ("Dleu est toujours pours les gros batll lons."

For "murder will out" we must turn to Geoffrey Chaucer, who, In his quaint spelling, tells us "Mordre wol out" ("The Nonnes Preestes Tale," line 15,058). When we say we will "leave no stone unturned," we are quoting the answer of the Del phic oracle to the inquiry of Polycrates as to the best means of discovering the treasure burled on the field of Plataea by Mardonius. To "make a virtue ot necessity" Is from Chaucer ("Knight's Tale"), but the phrase is used also In Rabelais, Shakespeare and Dryden. Done at Ocean Grove. The tabulated results of Rev. C. H.
