THE Alabama legislature has a bill
pending providing that persons carrying
concealed weapons shall wear a badge
with the word ? , "I am armed. " This
does not apply to pocket pistols loaded
with the vintage of ' 49.
KINO LEOPOLD , of Belgium , is con
tributing $400,000 a year to African
missions out of his own private purse.
If Leopold would spend that amount of
money among bis poor and destitute
subjects we venture that the recording
angel would give him more credit in the
heavenly record of good deeds.
IRi i A LETTER from Polk county , Florida ,
says : "I wish you could see the waj
they vote fur president down here. Tak
an old flour barrel , put it with the opci
head down against an old building , make
an aperture in the other and upper heac
for the ballots and let them drag ) on th
ground. Not one solitary republican
vote cast in this whole precinct. "
NEW YORK state cannot complain o
a lack of political excitement this year
No sooner had the presidential count
which occupied everybody's attention ,
been concluded , than the senatorial con
test was begun , and it is warming uj
every day as the session of the legisla
ture approaches. Arthur. Evarts am
Morton are the most prominent candi
dates , but the dark her e may come ii
ahead on the home stretch. Bee.
IT seems to be generally conceded ii
railroad circles that a law reducing : the
c >
rate per mile to three cent ? , will be pass
ed by our next legislature , which meets
on Monday. January 5th. If such a Ian is
becomes a reality , it will reduce the fare
to all points on the B. & 31. west of Mc-
Cook , almost one-half , the present rate
per mile being five cents. Jut what m
will be done with freight rates , the de
ponent saycth not. It is from a reduc
tion in freight rates that the greatest as
benefit to the producer would be derived. in
DURING the past year the agricultur sin
al bureau sent out 3.000,000 packages cei
of seeds , and of these 2,900.000 were
sent out by congressmen. This represents
a package of seeds to every two families
in the country , and those persons who
did not get a package this year should
apply for one next. Of these seed ? 2- ,
800,000 packages were of vegetables , u
.
500,000 of flowers , 114.000 of tobacco. .
G9,000 wheat. 200,000 corn , 423,000

THE bill making Omaha a port of entry -
try was called up by Senator Mandeivon the
yesterday and passed in the senate. We J ,
trust that the representatives from Ne -
braska will use all honorable means to
.
have the measure passed through the i-iit
lower house during the present scs.-ion tnd
and thus become a law. Not only importers Hip
lU'i

those of other cities < in Nebraska and in iU

the west will be benefited thereby. This i
being understood by members of congress \
from Nebraska they will , without doubt , < t
do what they consistently can to further
the interests of tho. people. There is no n
I
valid reason wh } ' the bill should not be '
come a law. and it undoubtedly will.

THE largest cattK ranch in the United
States under one management is tlmtof
Richard King , of Texas. It comprises
upwards of 800,000 acres , all under
fence , and nearly 200,000 head of cattle ,
horses and sheep. This ranch has been
eagerly sought by English , French , and
Dutch capitalists , but the successful
competitor is the United States Land and
Investment company of Now York city ,
who have just concluded a purchase at
$0,300,000 for the entire property. The
company anticipate an annual income of
nearly § 1,500,000 from this souicc , as
the increase of cattle is about 85 per
cent. As an indication of a more settled
condition of financial affaire , the mana
ger says that the company's first mort
gage 5 per cent , bonds are being rapidly
sought at 102 and interest , and that the
feeling now shown by American capital
ists in this class of investment property
is growing daily.
THE season of Christmas , sacred to
the beautiful work of gift-giving , is close
atwi hand. The treasure of lasting good
which it will yield to individuals must
beet commensurate with the good they do
others. Not the getters , but the givers
of gifts draw largest stores of real hap
piness > from the experiences of Christ
mas time. And to those into whose
ingi
giving the elements of self denial and
sa most largely enter are the ones
to whom the time yields fullest aifd
truest good. To give to those of one's
own household or to intimate personal |
friends : , is to exercise or express affec
tion. It is a grateful service and pays
well. < But such giving is rarely at the
cost of a genuine sacrifice , and usually
has its partial compensation at least in
gifts received again from those to whom
gifts arc given. To give , not asking nor
expecting return , but rather to give
where any return offering , even of per
sonal thanks , is know to be impossible ,
isbli to realize the very best and most cnno-
bling experience of the Christmas season.
Liberality , but not extravagance , will
probably govern old Santa Glaus as he
prm
makes : his grand annual trip over the
country Wednesday night. Everybody
else should follow his example. .Make
many presents as usual this Christ
mas ; , but don't waste your money. It is
tin souvenir , and not the cost of it , that
should be considered by those who re
ceive. Topics.

Miss FRANCES WILLAHD , in her
beautiful and characteristic address to
the members of the -'white ribbon host , "
reviewing the home in its evolutions
through tlie decades , closes with these
words let them touch the profoundest
depths of our conscience :
"In the presence of the American sa
loon the American Home is like a shorn
lamb to which no wind has been tem
pered. Evils by their excesses tend to
their own uirc. and this paramount evil
of our time has stirred that deepest in
stinct , the love ol'mother hearts. This
is a force which in nature contradicts
since in her determination that degener
ate offspring shall survive , the mother ,
in every realm of being , pours out her j
life. Blessed instinct which lends its
ti pathos to the lowest orders of
er , aifd glorifies with ineffable lov-
liness the records of humanity ! I have
no fears for the women of America.
,
They will never content themselves with
remaining stationary in methods or in
policy , much less sound a retreat in their
splendid warfare against the saloon in
law and the saloon in politics. The tides
of the mother's heart do not change ; we
can count upon them always. The vojce
of Miriam still cji'-ers the brave advance ,
and all along the line we hear the battle
ths cry.Speak un'to * 5hfe "children of
srael , that they go forward. "
