class matter.
A few mure weeks and the legis
lature of Nebraska will be called to
gether under circumstances more
favorable than that which has been
cur lot toi some ye&rs. A repub
lican majority, which means a pro
gressive one. will be backed by a
republican administration and should
set an example before the state that
would recommend itself in the future.
Impossibilities will not be expected,
b it a littlj <f that '-reform hi a
genuine and tungab'e shape, that
the fusionists have preached, but
failed to give us, will be looked for.
Even me itoio men ot the Philip
pines are coming. in and surrender
ing to Gen. McArthur and every
thing points to an early settlement
of the insurrection. The late sweep
ing success of the republican party,
us predicted, seems to have had a
salutory effect upon our enemies in
all parts of the world. If this be
true can we help but shudder when
contemplating the results which
must have followed had Mr. Bryan
been successful. “He who is t ot
for me is against me,” will your
friends here plan for your discomfi
ture and assist them? If the Phil
ippines connived with democracy
for our defeat is democracy a friend
to this government?
In the death of Senator Davis the
foreign relation committee of the
United States senate has lost one of
the most efficient members that was
ever at its head and the U. S. one of
its most brilliant statesmen. Sena
tor Davis was one of the few men
who worked himself up from the
foot of the ladder by dint ofaslrorg
will and a well balanced mind. lie
was one of the characters that a rep
ublican form of government gives
Sigf>pe to rod was a living exemplifi
cation of the fact that the boy who
is made of the right materia! is not
bereft of opportunities. Statesmen
arc born but it takes an indomitable
will to develop them.
£ The opposition papers to the
present administration are speaking
slightingly of the president’s mess
age which has been lately presented
to Congress. Yet it is one of the
ablest documents ever submitted to
that body for consideration. In
reciting the progress made in the
past year it rnuy be noted that the
industrial avocations present a splen
did condition- Our exports have
largely exceeded our imports, aud we
have a handsome balance in the
national treasury A careful peru
sal of the message will convince an
intelligent mind that the govern
ment's dealings with our uew poses
sions, and with China arc treated
exaustiveiy. li is a masterpiece
and gives good and substantial reas
ons in support of the prompt and
decisive action he has taken in re
taining the new possessions and
for the strict adhearance to the op
perations of the protective tarriff
policy.

An Irishman who was traveling
through London met two Lnglishm.en,
who thought they would play a joke on
him.
One of them said: “Good morning,
Pat! Did you hear the devil is dead?’’
The Irishman put his hand in his
pocket and gave each a copper.
They asked what this was for, to
which he replied:
“’Tis always a custom in ould Ire

something to the poor orphans!’’

In “Hkitehes «»f Life In the Holden
St tte," Colonel Alltert H. Kvnns nar
rate* th« rush exploit of an over
sanguine hear hunter:
A venturesome Yankee came to San
ta I’.arbara some years ago and soon
bet aine all adept nl throwing the lasso.
Hearing the Mexican cowboys talk of
lassoiug the grizzly hear, lie fiecided
to show them what he could do In that
line if lie ever got a chance.
One day he came upon a grizzly iu
a favorable locality. He threw the
lasso with skillful aim and reined back
his trembling horse to give the bear
an astonisher, when the reata—which
is always attached to the pommel of
the saddle—came up taut.
Judge of the man's astonishment
when that bear quietly assumed a sit
ting posture, took hold of the lasso
and began to draw it iu hand over
hand! .
The hapless descendant of the pil- |
grim fathers stuck to the horse and ]
saddle until lie saw the slack all drawn
in and the bear and the horse coming
rapidly together. Then, iu a panic,
he descended and ran for a tree, aban
doning the horse to its fate.
Two skillful men, operating from op
posite sides, can master a hear and !
choke him between them, but with
only one man, one horse and one hear,
it is another story.

“Before l wont to •ollege,” said a
nduistor of this city, “1 did supply
work on a certain charge one summer.
In tlio Methodist church we had serv
ice morning and evening. There was
a l'rcsbyieiiun church in the village,
and the pastor from another village
supplied it, preaching there once a
Sunday in the afternoon. I went to
hear him one afternoon. He was a col
lege bred man and was supposed to bo
away up. When he spied me in the
congregation, lie came down and asked
me to assist in the opening exercises.
When we were seated, lie asked me to
read the first lesson and at the same
time announced that it was a certain
chapter in the book of Numbers. Just
before I was to read I reached up to
the desk and took down the Bible and
opened at the place. 1 glanced down
over the chapter and saw that It was
a mass of unpronounceable names. I
knew that he was working a Joke on
me. lie knew that I could not get
away with those names. I said noth
ing, but when the time came I stood tip
and announced the chapter following
and read it.
"Wlien 1 sat down, he gave me a
look, and lie got one back. I whispered
hoarsely, ‘I guess not.’ Those were the
only words spoken on this subject.”—
Utica Observer.
“Quick l.nnchfi.”
It is tiie habit of the modern time
saving young man, says Eliot Gregory
in The Atlantic, upon entering a quick
lunch establishment to dash for the
bill of fare and give an order (if he is
adroit enough to catch one of the maids
on the fly) before removing either coat
or hat. At least 15 seconds may be
economized in this way. Once seated,
the limelier lulls to on anything at
hand — bread, cold slaw, crackers or
catchup. When the dish ordered ar
rives, lie gets his fork into it as It ap
pears over his shoulder and cleans the
plate before the sauce makes its ap
pearance, so that is eaten by itself or
with bread.
Cups of coffee or tea go down In two
swallows. I.ittle piles of cake are cut
in quarters and disappear in four
mouthfuls, much after the fashion of
children down the ogre's throat in the
mechanical toy, mastication being ei
ther a lost art or considered a foolish
waste of energy.
A really accomplished luncher can
assimilate his last “quarter” of cakes,
wiggle into ids coat and pay his chock
at the desk at the same moment. The
next tie is down the block in pursuit of
a receding trolley.

“It does uie good to meet up with
one of that class of people who think
they know it nil,” said the old man
with the ancient hat. ”1 was coming
over from Baltimore on a train the
other day. and a man who was writing
in a book asked me how to Bpell
‘proper.’ 1 told him, but a know it all
who sat near disputed me. I bet him
$10 even up that I was right and prov
ed I was by four disinterested men.
I gave the $10 to charity.”
“How did the man contend the word
should be spelled?" was asked.
“Why, ho said there was only one
‘p’ in it.”
“And you stuck for two, eh?”
“I did. I insisted that It was spelled
‘propper,’ and he linally owned up like
a little man and huuded me over the
money.”
"And would you like to make the
same wagi r again and leave It to the
dictionaries?”
“Not much! 1 consulted ’em all next
day and discovered that 1 had bluffed
that poor chap out of his wealth.”—

"Dear,” said the dying man, "I don't
want you to go into mourning for me
when I am gone.”
“Oh, George!” she sobbed. “Don’t
be so hard upon me.”
“Hard? Why, love, 1 simply want
you to be happy. You are young yet.
Why should you deck yourself with
widow’s weeds?”
“It’s mean of you, George! You
know black Is so becoming to me!”—
