Innocuous desuetude" i wliat now
remains of tlui Man of Destiny."'
A corn w I ace train costing upwaic
of 7.000. from Sioux fit v. Iowa, was
one of the features of interest at Wash
ington during the inaugural ceremonies.
The bill providing for a SMO,X0 sol
diers home at Hot Springs, Dakota, was
vetoed by the Governor and the legislj
t ure kindly and quickly jmsed it over
his head.
Walt JIason, of the State Journal, is
evidently not very deeply in love with
one of the Kansas Legislators and says
of him '-his head is used only for the
purpose of preventing his ears from fall
ing apart."' We believe the expression
will liave an immense cin illation liefore
lieing reduced to "innocuous desuetude."
A copy of last week's Herald has leen
mailed to Attorney General I-eese. It is
now in order for Mr. Leese to make an
apology for presuming to give his opin
ion on the legal effect of House Hull 9"i.
Don't lie too hard on the Hon. Attor
ney General, Charlie, he had no means of
knowing wliat VOI K OPINION would
lie at the time his was rendered.
Pigott finally confessed that he forged
the Parnell and Egan letters and lied
f rom England one day last week and a
recent report claims that he has com
mitted suicide at Madrid, Spain. The
London Times wishes it had never heard
of "Parnellism and Crime," has with
drawn from the book-stalls its pamphlet
of that title and makes very humble
apology to both the gentlemen. 'Home
Rulers'' are happy and demonstrations
of rejoicing are lieing held all over the
world wherever an Irishman or a man
who sympathizes with the cause of
freedom can be found.
The Governor of Iowa, Wm. Larraliee,
was recently arrested and tried on a
charge of criminal liliel. The Governor
had been petitioned to pardon one Tour
ney who was serving a sentence in the
jienitentiary, and in answer to the many
letters of inquiry as to why he did not
so do, he had what purported to be the
facts in the case along with manv let
ters remonstrating against the pardun,
printed and sent out. The sending out
of the circulars was the ground tion
which the accusation was laid. The ju
ry returned a verdict of "not guilty.'
Gen. Boulanger is on top with both
feet as it were. His motion to revise the
c onstitution was carried by a vote of 30?
to 218 in the French chamber of depu
ties. How far he may be able to con
f rol the two branches of congress for his
constitutional revision schemes is not
apparent at present writing. He has
completely overthrown the Flouquet
Ministry and we may safely look for rad
ical changes in the present form of the
French government. It is asserted by
some that he will advocate the adoption
of a constitution similar to tlie constitu
tion of Hie United States.
The Democratic government goes out
leaving our relations with foreign Gov
ernments in bad shape. The Canadian
fisheries question is unsettled. The
British minister was invited to leave the
umuiry anu no successor lias been ap
pointed, tier-many has just trodden on
Uncle Sam's corns out in Samoa and im
jiunvuu -rtjijenciiu ciuzens, there is
trouble in Hayti and more in Madagas
car and difficulty is threatened with
France over the Nicaragua and Panama
canal schemes. Blaine will have his
hands full straightening out the crooked
suuesmansnip or the late Democratic ad
ministration.
Under the operation of the new insur
ance law, when a loss of insured projier
ty occurs the obligation of the insurance
company carrying the risk will be the
amount of the insurance named in the
policy and upon which the company has
received premiums, tlie value of the des
troyed property not being considered in
tlie adjustment of the loss, but the poli
cy holder will receive the full amount
his policy calls for. It is intended to
prevent overinsurance and compel com
jianics to exercise greater care in placing
risks under the true value of the proper
ty insured and so prevent inducements
to incendiarism.
Exchanges down the road in Nebraska
will take no stock in the statement
printed last week in the Herald, that
there are thirty-three townships in Sioux
county unfit for agricultural purposes
because they are informed of tlie coun
try and of the falsehood ttm 1 i
told of Nebraska by "free range" stock

The Postmaster of New Yoik says
tliat if the rates iid by the Government
for carrying the mails on the railroads
of the country were reduced in the Mime
proportion as tlie companies have re
duced freight rates to private parties, a
one c ent rate for letters could tie imme
diately inaugurated without increasing
the present jostoffice deficit.

of

lieen
silly they certainly were not worse:
but we will stand Warbler" up alongside
of tlie whole Herald outfit of hypocrites
and bums and leave it to any disinter
ested stranger if he don't possess more
brains, culture and moral worth than all
of them.
It seems to le natural for some oj.le
to revert to jiersonal abuse when their
stock of argument is exhausted. So it
waswilhtlie Glen corresontlent who
signed himself "tine Who Knows." A
letter from the gentleman against whom
he makes the absuniiy fal.- statements
will lie found in another column, and is
a clear mid honest denial of the accusa
tions, minus the jiersonal abuse that
'One Who Knows" uses as argument!
Here is a iaragnth from an exchange
which meets our hearty aouroval: "Nev
er send a dollar awav from home when
the article that the dollar will jmrrhast.
can lie obtained at home. Money is our
financial blood. Its circulation keejis
the business body alive. Bleed the body
by sending that money away from home
and soon business will put on a look of
lethargy and inactivity. Always trade
at home. It is twice blessed. It heljis
the person jmtrouized and finds its way
to you again."
Tlie democratic government of New
York state let the contract for ceiling
the state capitol building', to a democrat
of course. The ceiling was to tie carved
oak and would have cost $142,r00, but
a ceiling of painted tjaiier niache, imita
tion of oak, ceiling was put in at a cost
of $11,500. On this 11,500 investment
the contractor and tlie boodlers got
away with $132,000. In the presence of
these figures such a little steal as charg
ing $50 for a $7 court docket liecomes
quite insignificant. Still the principle is
the same provided it is jiroper to use the
word principle when reference is had to
the jieculations of a democratic jioliti-
cian.
