UNLESS Senator Paul can success
fully prove the Bee's statements false ,
lie is unfit the suffrages of the Republi
cans of this state.
SPAUKS has added another feather to
his cap , by forcing the suspension of an
old crippled veteran , Major S. W. Clark ,
recorder of the general land office.
COLONLL INGEUSOLL is going to drop
his assault on Christianityand next sea
son lecture on Shakespeare. Of course , if
Mr.Tngersoll is consistentvith his past ,
he doesn't believe there ever was such a
man as Shakespeare.
LINCOLN papers are solicitous lest a
milk famine be added to their present
oppressive base ball troubles. The
lowing kine , they claim , are all becom
ing dry , because of continued drouth and
scorched pastures. That does look like
laying more upon misery than she can
bear.
ANDREW CARNEGIE , the millionaire
iron maker , thinks thnt'-'one hour of cour
tesy from employers would prevent many
strikes. " There is humanity and reason
in this. Employers are too apt to for
get that their employes are men , and
that the difference in stations is due to
chance or opportunity.
THE possibility of a war with Mexico
has developed the fact that in Nebraska
there are about forty thousand men
ready to raise regiments to respond to
the call of their country. About a hun
dred thousand arc ready to raise com
panies , but not a private soldier has yet
come forward. Unless we can get a
private soldier or two the war will be a
failure. There must be somebody-
drive the wagon containing the officers'
baggage.
THE story that the late Hubert 0.
Thompson , the New York democratic
politician , committed suicide , is repeated
with additional evidence supporting the
theory. It is not unlikely that the de
velopments in the trial of Squires and
Flynn will supply further reasons why
Thompson should have desired to escape
a catastrophe which he must have seen
was imminent. There is a lesson in
these events for both politicians and
people , if they would but learn them.
Now is the accepted time for the ad
ministration to hunt for scalps. Sparks
has opened the game boldly by demand
ing the resignation of a crippled union
veteran in his department who has serv
ed acceptably for twenty years. The
house cleaning will go merrily on during
his vacation thanks to the lameness of
the republican majority in the senate.
Civil service reform will be whooped up
for ail she is worth within the next
sixty days. Journal.
Gr. L. LAWS of McCook , the very
efficcnt servant of Uncle Sam in the
land office , at that place , was a visitor
for a few hours in Orleanslast Sunday.
In this section we would say that
hardly a vote in the whole county will
be cast against delegates in the county
convention unfavorable to Mr. Laws'
nomination by the state convention
for the office of secretary of state , and
in case he receives the nomination we
pledge Rarlan county solid for him.
Orleans Press.
AN exchange says : At this season of
the'year , when people are subject to sud
den attacks of cholera morbus or cramp
in the stomach , nothing is so valuable
to have close at hand as the camphor
bottle. When a person is thus attacked ,
let him lie down and keep as quiet as
possible , and take two drops of camphor
in a teaspoonful of water , repeat the
dose at intervals of five minutes until
ten or fifteen drops are taken. It will
in almost every instance give relief
without the use of any other remedy.
This same treatment has been used in
cases of cholera. Every family should
keep a well-filled camphor bottle.
