It steps into ine political arena stronc healthy ana tun Hedged, with well-denned aims and determined resolution to accomplish the object it bas in view. There Is taielligenca and influence apparent ia iu designs, and "power behind the throne" tnat U sig nificant and portends the ultimate con summation of its aims and ends.

The Intelligencer, I OTiKjioR, fa. Nebraska Obstruction. The Omaha Ike Is right mad at the Journal because it has not chosen to Join the democratic party, Gov. Boyd and the Omaha Ret on the question of legal control of corporations in Nebraska. The Journal does not propone to make aa attempt to imitate the liee In whang doodle newspaperiug. The time was when the bet used iu club with the same energy upon the railroads. That it Is on another shoot now is iu own affair. But so far as Nebraska peoih are concerned it is safe to say the tigtit will not stop with Gor. Boyd's veto of the Newberry bill, nor with the stage fury of the Omaha Bet. The general subject is one with which the people of Iowa, and the newspapers of this state, are more or less familiar. The battle has been fought out here, and legal control of railway charges is now ac cepted as a settled policy of the state. The corporation friends in Nebraska any in opposition to the Iowa policy being applied in that state that the rail roads of Iowa do three times the amount of business the railroads of Ne braska do. That wst the argument in Iowa whed the example of Illinois was cited. But Iowa railroads, a compared with Illinois roads, are now doiug fairly well, as the Bee may satisfy itself, if it cares to do so. by a reference to recent reports. Not a suggestion has been made, or can be made, in Nebraska, in opposition to an assertion of the rights of the people, that Is not familiar in Iowa. The people of Nebraska are not to be hoodwinked. They are not to be bulldozed. Tbey know thai they are ! entitled to the protection of law against ! tne rapacity or railway corporations. They know if their state is to prosper tbey must be protected in this regard as the people of other states are pro tected. They will attend to that. Their efforts may be baffled for a time, but that only means delay and not de feat. If the corporations were wise tbey would recognize the inevitable, and be promotive rather than obstruc tive in justice. Smux City Journal. An Echo From the Border. Saegeitt, Neb., Apr. 4, 1801. Editor Fabxeks' Alliance: I have always been a republican fought through the rebellion as a republican until I saw that there was nothing to gain for either of the old parties. 1 am to glad that God Ujt me see what I was doiug, voting my children into slavery. IIow mean I felt when the light came . We are most all reformod people out here. Once in a while you will timl one that is not, but iu such cases you will find that they do hot know much. Well, the people are starving and freezing through here. Our land will htvd tJ lav Idle. No feed, no seed, and no money to buy any. We wilt have to pull out of here or starve. We see Omaha, the rich, is bound to rule or ruin. I do not see why the people will suffer it to be so. I am tifty-six years old, but I am ready to march to the front any time to help put down oppres sion and make the people five again1, but I think in TM we can see relief. I am watching and praying (or such. We are all gone up unless relief comes. Yours for the right Wilson Dvk. Light Wllhmit rir. Ta obtain a light instantly, without tbe use of matches and without the danger of setting things on fire. 1, according to the "Mining and Scien tific Press," an easy matter. Take a long vial of the clearest glass, put into it a piece of phosphorus about tha size of a pea. I'pon this pour some pure olive oil heated to tbe boil ing point, the bottle to be filled one third full; then cork tightly. To use tha light remove the cork, allow the air to enter and then recork. Tbe whole empty space In the bottle will then become luminous and the light ebtalaed wilt be a good one. As soon a tha light becomes dim its power can ba Increased by opening tbe hot Ita aad allowing a fresh supply of air to enter, la very cold weather It becomes necessary to heat the vial oatwaea the hands to increase the fluidity of the oil, and one bottle Will last all winter.

A great many persons sadly deplore the fact that sx-lety is ever tailing a great many little white lies. Frank. neas is strongly recommended and peo ple are praised for saying just what they think. Frankness appears very aorairaMa in ineory. out it is some times quite another thing in practice. A certain amount of deception Is by some held to be really necessary for the welfare of society, and the man or woman who tries to got on wholly without it is likely to have many enemies. It is said that the minister af a certain Chicago church became disgusted with the untruthfulness of mankind and preached a vigorous ser mon in denunciation of society false hoods. He declared that lies told out of politeness were just as wicked as thcae told with the deliberate intention of deceiving. In fact, these society lies pot people into the habit of lying. and they readily pick up the other kind. The sermon made a great Impression upon the hearers. Many of tha con. gregation resolved to reform then and there. Coming out of church Deacon Jones said to Judge Badger, who sat in front of him: "Judge, I hope you didn't mind my putting my feet undet your pewP" The judge was about to reply. Oh, certainly not;" but ha thought of the sermon and answered: I did, though; your old hoofs took up all the room and were a fearful nuisance." "Well," said the deacon. the hair oil you use smells so It nearly forced us to leave the pew." They glared at each other, and just then Mrs. Badger and Bliss Jinkins came along. Miss Jinkins had asked: "How do you like my new bonnet?" "Oh, I thought It just love" began Mrs. B., and then she thought of the sermon, and continued: "No, I didn't either. It Is a horrid thing, and I wouldn't be seen with It on." And Mix Jinkins got mad and replied: "Well, if I were you I wouldn't wear dirty stock ins to church, and if I did I'd keep 'em out of sight" While these honest conver sations were going on Mrs. Smith had said to her next door noiirhbor. Mr. Murray: "I hopo the cryimr of our baby but night didn't disturb you?" And Mr. Murray replied: "No that is yos, 1 wanted to brain the brat." And then Mrs. Smith called him a wretch and wept Then the minis ter came out and aked young Hy mouds bow ho liked the sermon. 8y- mondssald: "It was a if rand ef er . No, parson. It was blamed nonsense." Sir?" wild the parson, and he drew himself up very imlUrnantly. Juht then Smith and Murray, after belnsr real frank with each other and telllmr a few plain truths, clinched, and Dea con Jones was trying to hold Miss Jin kins fi-om sciatching Mrs.. Budger. It took tremendous efforts to stop the rows and prevent a scandal, and, as It was, everybody went away mad at ev erybody else. The minister went home and meditated in a gloomy frame of mind for three hours, and finally con cluded that society lying wus wicked, but he would not preach against it again. It is altogether too handy and necessary a sin to be given up. Haw So Advertise. "I'vo learned that, the force and af fect of an advertisement ; dejiend largely on the way it is worded," said a west aider. "Last week," continued he, "I had an umbrella stolen from the vestibule of the church I attend. . I went down to a newspaper office and had the following advertisement in serted: , 'Lost, from the vestibule of tho - church last Sunday evening, a gold-headed black silk umbrella. The gentleman who took it will ba handsomely rewarded by leaving it at No. street' I waited several days and got no response, and I told the newspaper's advertising man that advertisements were no good, that they were never read,, etc. Said he: Let mo try for your umbrella again, and if you do not then acknowledge tLat advertising pays I will buy you a new one.' lie then Inserted the fol lowing: 'If the man who was seen to take the umbrella from the vestibule of the church last Sunday does not wish to get into trouble and have a stain cast upon his Christian charac ter, which he bears so lightly, he will return it at once to No. street He Is well known.' This apjraared in the evening paper, and the following morning I was astonished when I open. ed tne front door of my residence. On the porch lay at least a dozen umbrel las of all shades and sizes that had been thrown in, and the front yard was literally covered with umbrellas. Many of them had notes attached say lng that they had been taken by mis take and begging me to keep the little affair quiet I've got enough umbrel las to last me the remainder of my natural lifetime, 'and I've learned some thin? about how to do advertising that is really effective."
