TJIE largely * increased prohibition
vote throughout the country at the late
elections is an indication of the grow
ing hostility or the people of this na
tion to the rum power and traffic. The
temperance millenium may not be so
far distant as some imagine. We hope
it is not.
THE amenities of journalism are not
very closely observed between the Lin
coln Journal and its country exchanges :
The "Topics Man" seems to exercise
unbridled license in abusing the mem
bers of tho profession who' may have
unwittingly incurred his displeasure.
The who writes the "
young man "Top
ics" should be transferred to the press
room and set to washing rollers. Dirty
work seems to suit him. Gazette-
Journal.
SENATOR VAN" WYCK arrived here to-day
preparatory to tho reconvening of congress.
His appearance on the streets created con
siderable'excitement , as ho was greeted on all
sides and was the observed of all observers.
The above is taken from a Washing
ton dispatch to the rankest of the rank
bourbon sheets , the Kansas City Times.
Evidently the'old man" was locomo
tion in his granger buckboard , with
which he essays to catch the Nebraska
farmer's vote.
IN view of the prevalence of diph
theria in this locality , as well as in var
ious-section's of the state and country ,
the following may conic as the verT ut
terances of wisdom :
The appearance of that deadly disease ,
diphtheria in so many sections of the country
is a general warning for every city and for
every householder to clean up. It is a disease
which prows and flourishes where there are
uncleaned streets and alleys , badly ventilated
houses , foul sinks and vaults , and deficient
plumbing. All these combined dou't cost as
much to remedy as doctors' and undertakers'
bill , aside from the calamities to the homes.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
CONCERNING Grover Cleveland , the
opinion has heretofore obtained and
prevailed that he was so hopelessly
pachydermatous as to .be imperviable
to the keen shaft of the journalist even.
This view , in the light of more recent
developments , seems to be utterly er
roneous , as the president is described
as daily growing more and more sensi
tive toward newspaper men. In fact
his extreme irascibility of temper and
habitual irritation of mind seem to in
dicate that he is approaching the con
dition of mind of Henry VIII , when ,
toward the close of his life , he kept
continually crying out to every new
person who approached him , "To the
Tower with him. " Such seems to be
Grower's animus towards the meek and
lowly faber pusher.
Worse Than a Fire Alarm ,
One of the most dreadful alarms that
can be sounded in a mother's ear is
produced by croup ; dreadful , because
it is * known to be dangerous ; the more
dreadful because the life of a loved one
is in jeopardy. _ Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a never failing safeguard
against this dangerous disease. Its
reputation as a preventive and cure
of croup is fully and firmly established.
In fact , it is the only remedy which
can .always'be relied upon. Sold by
Wiiley & Walker and McMillan &
Weeks.
