THE President finds that "pernicious
activity" of rheumatic gout means in
activity on the part of the afflicted.
CLEVELAND'S plurality in New York
in 1882 was 192,854 votes. In 1884
it was just 1,047. What will it be in ' 88 ?
A CHICAGO clergyman asks : "Can
a man be a Christian and at the same
time a successful business man ? " And
Puck says he can if he advertises
largely.
ENGLAND proposes to celebrate this
year the fiftieth anniversary of "Vic
toria's happy and glorious reign. "
Among other things it is proposed to
erect a jubilee tower 440 feet in height.
THESE words were not spoken in
this year of grace , as the reasonable
supposition might be. but 500 before
the Christian Era by Confucius , the
Chinese ethical philosopher :
"Of all people , girls and servants are the
most difficult to behave to. If you are fa
miliar with them , they lose their humility ;
if you maintain a reserve towards them , they
are discontented.-
" ! T is a great mistake to suppose
that the enjoyment of religion is the
antithesis of the enjoyment of nature
of terrestrial things. It is equally ab
surd to imagine that a sinner can es-
tract more pleasure from legitimate
worldly sources than a saint. The
truth is , religion and nature are coun
terparts and complements of each other
and other things being equal , the Chris
tian occupies a peerless vantage ground
over the irreligous. Why not ? His
comprehension sweeps round a wider
horizon , his ken penetrates into pro-
founder depths , his capacities measure
up to sublimer and more abundant fe
licities. To him there is honey in
every flower and nectar in every spring.
In every spire of grass , and leaflet and
dew-drop , as well as in every blazing
star and sparkling intellect , he sees the
handwriting of benevolent desicn. "
AN exchange soliloquizes thuslv : In
the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth , and then set all things
up in housekeeping thereon. Then he
created man and woman , but where did
the loafer come in ? You have all seen
him. He is always present at the post-
office , the store , the depot , or in some
one's office. There he sits cross-legged ,
looking wise and making plain all the
deep problems that have vexed the
mightiest minds. Nothing is too deep
for his intellect to unravel. And he
samples all the sugar at the stores , bor
rows and reads all the papers wherever
he stops , gets in the way at the shop ,
and in all ways makes himself conspic
uous , except by his absence. While
he is thus engaged his family are left
to take care of themselves and do the
best they can. And yet we suppose
after the loafers read this , they will
still continue to loaf.

ONE may hear all sorts of rumors re
garding the railroad designs , plans , pur
poses and accomplishments. It is said
that the Burlington & Missouri elected
Harlan. The speaker would not have
been elected without Lancaster county ,
which went over to him piece-meal
and Lancaster is probably as subser
vient to Burlington & Missouri desires
as any county in the state is to any
railroad. You have the syllogism.
Lancaster went to Harlan ; Lancaster is
controlled by the Burlington & Mis
souri. Therefore the Burlington &
Missouri went to Harlan. Pursue the
logic a trifle further. Harlan repre
sents Van Wyck. the Burlington &
Missouri went to Harlan. Therefore
the Burlington & Missouri is really for
Van Wyck. If there is a combination
between the senator and the railroads ,
it probably will never be absolutely
known. But if there were such a thing ,
what would be the outward indications ?
Would the railroad attorneys consult
Van Wyck openly and labor for him so ?
I fancy not. Would they make a feint
of lighting him ? Perhaps. How would
they fight him ? Just as they are fight
ing him to-day powerlessly , impotent-
ly , wearily , in the chaotic , crazy and no
account fashion. Benedict Arnold did
not say to his American commanding
officer : "Hear ye ! I go to offer my
services to the enemy ! " He stole out
under cover , clothing himself with the i
pretense of loyalty , that he might be i
successfully disloyal. If the railroads are I
in favor of Van Wyck , he will be elect- i
ed. If the opposition to Van Wyck is ;
no better managed than it has been so j
far , he will be elected. The greatest
danger to his cause is in the intimacy |
which exists between his friends and
those of Weaver , and , it is rumored ,
between Weaver and himself. We had
a taste of that sort of thing six years
ago. Senator Paddock was then a can- ;
didate for re-election , but many of his
supporters were friendly with Nance
were really waiting for a chance to de
sert Paddock and vote for Nance. Nat
urally Nance , who was then governor. '
was friendly to Paddock , who had done' '
considerable political service for him ,
hut he could not resist the temptation j
to take advantage of his own populari- !
ty. The result was natural and inevit
able. Paddock accused Nance of treach
ery. Nance retorted in kind , immediate
followers of each swore that the other '
should not make it , and in the midst
and because of this confusion , Van :
Wyck was born. It would be strange
if history should repeat itself and visit i
upon Van Wyck the fate that Paddock I
suffered six years ago. As Nanie wis
to Paddock then , so in a great degree
is Weaver to Van Wyck to-day. Weaj j
ver desires to be the heir to Van Wyck '
and must be friendly with him ; more
over , many of Van Wyck's followers |
look toward Weaver , for a second choice. !
And yet Weaver must not permit Van ,
Wyck's election. To win gratitude
without deserving it to fall heir to an
estate to which he is not entitled that
is Weaver's difficult task. But if any
man in Nebraska can manage such an
affiair , It is the wily congressman from
Richardson. Fred Nye to the Omaha
World.
