Senator Paddock lias introduced a bi

commuted homestead or pre-emption.
The ruling made d few months uo bv
Acting Commissioner fitone to the effect
that a county judge could not hike evi
jence in such ciptes called forth a great
many nppeals for a law changing the
ruling so as to permit a county judge to
doHucu work. It is in consequence of
such appeals that Senator Paddock Iiiik
introduced this bill. Under the present
ruling il m oau ior me new counties lor
there is not eriough buHinewt for a county
judge so that an attorney, competent to
fill tluit office can afford to take the of
fice of judge, but if lie is permitted to
do final proof business the fees coming
from tliat source will amount to enougl
to give the county judge a living Hillary.
It will aim) relieve the county clerk of a
great deal of work, especially in counties
Dot containing a population large
enough to admit of having a clerk of the
district court, as in tliat case all the d
trict court work falls upon the county
clerk. It is to be hoped that the hill of
Senator Paddock will speedily pass both
bouses and receive the signature of the
president Senator Paddock has also in
troduced a bill for the creation of an
suditoi-sliip of the general land office so
as to avoid any opportunity for receivers
of district land offices to get away with
government funds, as did Lovejoy a few
years ago.

speaking?
"I am denying nothing nor affirming
nothing," said he.
"Will there be any candidates for con
gress west of Holt county?"
"There are likely to lie several candi
dates in the northwest."
"How about Holt (unty?"
"Well, Holt is a big county and ought
to be entitled to (some recognition."
"Are you down this way on business
buying law books or something,
Judge'"
''Now see here, if you want some real
valuable information for the public you
may just say that I stopted off here be
tween trains to call on some of my
Dodge county friends," said the Judge,
and he drew down the southwest corner
of his north eye in a painful mariner.
something similar, we imagine, to the
way Arnold Winkleried blinked as he
offered himself as a sacrifice for his coun
try on that historic occasion when he
requested his countrymen to make way
for liberty.
Popularity of Protection.
The natural impulse of our people is
for protection. Every election in which
-the issue has been distinctly made be
tween free foreign trade and protection
for domestic industries has proven that
the demand for the former is the voice of
a minority, and the maintenance of the
latter is the fixed determination of the
majority of American voters. Even
Hut bmnch of Um fiftieth congress
which, under the guidance of selfish lead
er, suicided by passing tins Mills bill
went up from the people with a majori
ty committe to protection. A knowi
edge of Uieee facts will account for the
inconsistent pleas of those who still find
it for their interest to join with foreign
rs in tlie demand for lowering the bar
Hers to the importation of foreign pro
ducts.
Ignoring the fact that larger fortunes
have been made hi this country by tnose
who distribute goods than by those who
manufacture, these free trade attor
ney! seek to incite prejudice against the
latter and gain votes for a policy intend
ed to enlarge the profits of manufactur
ers in other lands. The inconsistency,
the outrageous Injustice of this, voters
J expected to overlook in their anxiety
to get cheaper goods cheaper because
made where labor can lie had for ,ess
money than it costs here.
Protection discriminates in favor or

Spirilnal Effect of Drunkenness.
A (sirtion of h pjl(w whi,.i, apiietired
In il, r..i, ,
... . Miiiie nioniiis ago:
j The most frightful effects of the drink
I ing habit are not those which can be tab
ulated in statistics and reported in the
census. It is not the waste of corn, nor
ii... .i... i i- .... . . .
uitiiewnii-uiinui prox;riy, nor the in
crease of taxes, nor even the ruin of phy
sical health, nur the loss of life which
most impresses the mind of the thought
ful observer of inebriety. It is the ef
ftwt of this vice upon the character of
men, as it is exhibited to him, day by
day in his ordinary intercourse with
them. It is the spiritual realm that its
ravage of strong drink are most ter
rible. Body and mind are so closely related
that when the one suffers tlie other must
share the suffering, and tlie injury of the
physical health"resuRing from intemper
ate drinking must, therefore, lie accom
juinieiriiy 'similar injury to the mental
and moral iwwers.' But the inclination
of the popular thoughtjis'so'strongly to
ward the investigation of physical phe
nomena, that the spiritual consequences
are often overlooked. Degeneration of
tissue is more iwlpable"' than degenera
tion of spirit; a lesion of the brain more
startling than a breach of faith; hut the
deejier fact, of which the senses take no
note, is the more important fact; and it
would be Veil. if thelLttentiohof, men
could lie lixed upon it.
The phenomena to which we have re
ferred often report themselves to the
quickened jierceptions of those who
stand nearest to' the'.habitual drinker.
Many a mother" observers, with a heart
that grows heavier day by day, the signs
of moral decay in the character of her
son. It is not the flushed face and heavy
eye that troubles her most; it is the evi
dence that hisund .is becoming duller
and fouler, his sensibilities less acute,
liis sense of honor less commanding.
She discovers that his loyalty to truth
is somewhat impaired; tliat he deceives
her frequently, without compunction.
This effect is often oliserved in the char
acter of the inebriate. Truthfulness is
the fundamental virtue; when it is im
paired the character is undermined; and
strong drink makes a deadly assault up
on him. Coupled with this loss of truth
fulness is that weakening of the will
which always accompanies chronic alco
holism. The man loses, little by little,
the mastery over himself; the regal
facultlesare in chains. How many of

with alcohol that its functions are im
perfectly performed and them is a r.e

moral tone. The drinker is not con

spiritual vision less clear, because be

quite elastic. The term is stretched U
cover habits that are steadily despoiling
the life of its rarest fruits. The drinking
habit is often defended by reputable gen
tlemen to whom the very tliought of a
debauch would lie shocking, but to
whom if it were only lawful, in the just
and tender solicitude of friendship, such'
words as these might be spoken: "It is
true that you are hot drunkards, and
may never be, but if you could know,
wnat is too evident to those who love
you test, how your character is slowly
losing the firmness of its texture and the
Oneness of its outline; how your art de

how the atmosphere of your life seems
to grow murky and the skv lowers
gloomily above you you would not
think your daily indulgence harmless in

The laws of health are taught in tlie
schools; but not in a way to be of
much practical benefit and are never il
lustrated by living examples, which in
many cases might easily be none. If
some scholar, who had just contracted a
cold, was brought before the school, so
that all could hear the dry, loud cough
and know its significance see the thin
white coating on the tongue and later.
as the cold developed see the profuse
watery expectoration, and thin watery
discharge from the nose, not one of
them would ever forget what the first
symptoms of a cold were. The scholar
should then be given Chamberlian's
Cough Remedy freely, that all might
see that even a severe cold could be
cured in One or two days or at least
greatly mitigated when properly treat
ed as soon as the first symptoms appear
This remedy is famous for it's cures of
coughs, colds and croup. It is made
especially for these diseases arid is the
most prompt and most reliable medi
cine known for the purpose. 50 cent
