Tho cheorLig prospect of another big lint vest is gall anil wormwood to democratic .issues. Another year of prosperity will mnko thu advocates of frco silver as scarce as bulTalocs in Kansas. l'latto Comity, Nub , morlgago In debtedness was reduced by over $.'10,000 during April, and no deeds in fore closure were Hied. The democratic pnrty has twice been tried ami twice boon found wanting by the present generation of voters of tho country. It should hardly hope to bo trusted again. A democratic caudidato for tho pres idency one time remarked that the tar in was a local question, at.d a good many democratic mnnapors now feel that silver is also a local alTair. International rowntio receipts dur ing tho fust ton months of this tiscal year were $213,187,210, an increaso of $10,390,849 over the corresponding months of the previous tiscal year. Supplying our colonies with eggs is one of the beiiolits to farmery of tho ex pansion policy. Last year wo export ed 3,700,000 dozen eggs, as compared with only 151,000 ilo.en in 1805. Lay on, O Hen' It is gradually daw.iing on tho dem ocratic platform makers that a shell tipped with present prosperity is able to pioree tho heaviest pieco of silver b.jd armor plate ever forged in tho fur nace of adversity. Tho democrats are more inteiested in finding a question that will servo their purposo during tho campaign than in advancing any positive policy of government. With tliom it is "any thing to getthcro." Chairman Kerr, of tho democratic congressional campaign committee, says that ho has aont out practically no 16 to 1 spooches this year. Thero is no demand for silver literature, tho sub ject being a doad one. iiogssold in Nebraska at $2.85 per owt. in 1890. ThU year they have sold at $4.05. Yet tho farmers aro to bo asked to voto for a democratic presi dent and a democratic cougross ngalu, so as to get back to the old 92 85 price. New York bankers have loaned France $15,000,000, and would bo pleas ed to do a little more accomodating in that particular lino. There must be prosperity when our bankers aro com. polled to go away from homo in order to II ml people to loan thoir money to. m It was under the last democratic ad ministration and the hut free tradu tarilT that the farmer could exchange declares that it isn't econ his pound of wool for n pound and u half of sugar. Hut under the McKin loy administration his wool was worth more, whilo sugar was cheaper and tho pound of wool brings four pounds of sugar. Tho Door incident was diplomatically and courteously terminated by Presi dent McKinloy, and the envoys havo been socially entertained by tho Secre tary of Stato. Politically tho matter ia ended just as completely as tho Mac- rum affair. Secretary Hav soon show. ed the envoys that tho United States government had not only dono all it could in tho interests of peace, but is tho only nation that has shown any in terest in stopping tho war. The Boors in March, appealed to all European governments and to tho United States to intervone, but the United States was tho only onn that complied with tho re quest, and this offor from President McKinloy, as tho world already knows, was declined by Great Britain. The Belgian hnro fad is spreading with marvelous rapidity. An up-river chronicler illustrates its progress, to say nothing of that of the "industry" itself, in his own town, with tho fol lowing "hare-raising" story; "Tho members of the Belgian hare club do eided two weeks ago to employ n book keeper to register all tho new hares as fast as they arrived in tho world. The book-k -eper has been compelled to hire ton assistants, and hares are ar riving so rapidly that the girls have entered up ninety-seven ledgers and are now three days behind with their work. Tho club thinks it is bocoming a great industry, and believes that in tlmo it will give employment to more people than a corset factory Kansas City Journal. Bachelor's Banquet. "Swiftly the ranks are thiunine." "Wliat ranks?" The ranks of the "Bachelor's Club " On Tuesday even ing tho Bachelor's were once more called togothor to bid farewell to one of their honored members, Mr. George Morhart, who was married on Wednesday evening to Miss Myrtle Jones of Guide Book. Tho young men met at William Kellogg's art gallery and then repaired to the rooms formerly occupied by l)r F K. McKeeby, which hi.d been lilted up with chairs and tables where numerous games wero indulged in, and whore they worried George until ho did not know but that marriago was a failure But with all of this they showed that although they wished him a long happy life, they would miss him from thoir ranks. At eleven o'clock they repair ed to tho Star Banquet Parlors, and they folt as they passed through the doorway that they would bo lost in edibles, for they had been there bo fore, and they wero not disappointed, for when thoy had tlrished tho nine courses, they did uot know whether they would ever got homo or not, for Mr. and Mrs. Wilos had endoavorcd to make this au occasion they should never forget. K.J. UvoringJr. acted as toastmaster and some very "heart rending" toasts wero given They were as follows: Ls Marriage a Failure. Geo. Over log. Tho Lady or tho Tiger. John Tul lovs. Tho Valuo of Family Medicines. F. J.Grico. What We've Missed. Oscar Pat morn Anticipation. Geo. Morhart. Tho young mcu did uot feel satisfied at meeting together, without at least seeing their former member, Alva Sol lars, so thoy started to lind hiui. After searching tho town for him, and not being successful, they resorted to the reward mothod, and the last hoard of thorn they bad offered a roward for him, dead or alive. After a pleasant stroll over tho city, thoy dispersed for their several homes, wondering "Who would bo tho next?" For driving out dull bilious feeling, strengthening the appetite and increas ing tho capacity of tho body for work Prickly Ash Bitters is a golden remedy. Sold by C. L Coiling. Incidents ol Every Day Life Which Very Few People Stop to Think About on V Account of Their Littleness The census enumerators are abroad in the laud. Thoy suited out on the first of June. Tho curiosity of tho enumerator will striko you as great. lie will ask as to your nse, condition, business status, family relations, and linancial capabilities. Ho will nsk als whether you aro black or white or whether your children or black or white. It you pick up tho furnlturo and throw at him your name will probably adorn the roster list of a jail. There are many peculiarities in mnk Ing up tho list. The enumerator may call on you on Juno 0 and you may have been married tho night before, but you will go down as a bachelor and you wife ns unmniried. If you have died since the 1st of June but if you nro alive on that day you will go on tho list as alive. You may have six feet of earth for a homo and still be supposed to bo walking thoNebiasku pinlrio. A "kid" may appear at your homo after Juno 1st but the govern ment will not know that you will soon have to buy a matrimonial fruit basket. Everything dates from June 1. You will bo asked some questions by the enumerator that you will uot like to nnswer but it is best to unbutton your mouth like a little man a) Uncle Sam is behind him. Ho will know mure about you than members of your own family or your best girl. But then when ho sets through with you he is supposed to be dead, or in other words ho Is supposed to forget everything ho has found out. Severe penalties are established (or tlio punishment of any betraval of information received by th enumerator. If ho is false to his trust and repeats to any person any in formation ho ro;eivcs in tho porform nnco of his duties he may bo lined $500 upon convictiou. Ho must not show his schedules to any person and must destroy all imperfect, copies. So you seo tho enumerator has troubles of his own and you should treat him kindly. You will all pass his questions safely, a good deal more so that you can pass over tho sidewalk in front of tho Noah's Ark. Wo hope the council will frame an ordiuanco according to law by which thoy can condemn such build ings so they may be torn out and used for kindling. Hurry up, we would like to see tuts relic ol past ages ap praised and seo what it is worth. Last week it was the sweot girl graduate Noxt week it will be tho sweet-voiced school ma'am who will make tho bovs heart's go pittapat: They will desoit tuelr best girls ana seoK tue sdiool ma'ams. Of course there will bo a coldness spring up between the boys and thoir best girls for a whilo but this will soon bo mended. The school marms aro so good looking that wo can't blamo tho boys, and they're new too Most people remember tho picture scene on a railroad train going through a tunnel, in which n man tries to put on a clean shirt and the sporty young man kissed tho colored mail who had changed seats with her white mis tress just ns tho train was entering the tunnel, and tho scono on tho train emerging therefrom. Tho scene wo are going to describe was on n dark and stormy night au 1 tho dust was coming from the north at a terrific rate and tho Hashes of lightning lit up the sky at times with a lurid glare. It was n picture from life's other side. Two couples who appeared to have traveled far in the pitchy darkness of tho night worn scou (luring a Hash of lightning and then wero ouco more en veloped by tho pitchy darkucss Their faces and clothes looked as if they had been in a sand bank somewhere. They wero nenriug their destination and were giving the Inst hugs and kisses ns Bed Cloud boys and girls ul ways do, when a territic clap of thun der was followed by a bright Hash of lightnin. A few feminine shrieks disclosed the scene to a photographer who was waiting to get a shot at tho lightning. Tho girls and boys during the dust storm hud changed places and each was hugging the other fellow's girl. Hence the screams. The pho tographer got the picture and the light ning too.
