It now transpires that Calhoun has

The Burlington flyer is doing an im-
mense business and its abandonment is
exceedingly ( improbable. The "Q"
management } are not suckers of that de
gree.
Chicago roads have signified their
determination to discontinue their fast
trains , August 2Gth. The Burlington's
"Eli train" will
, however , continue to
"get there. "
The Hastings knights of labor have
"resolved" to boycott the B. & M. and
all merchants of that city who will per
sist in exercising the simple right to

Nebraska's corn crop , this year ,
promises i to be the largest ever raised in
the state. An era of prosperity is
dawning for the Nebrrska farmer which
will be reflected in all lines of trade and
business.

Hugh 31. Brooks is dead. The no-
torious St. Louis murderer has expiat-
ed his crime , for which the people may
thank Gov. Morehouse. American jus-
tice is slow but generally it comes out
victorious.
Attorney General Leese ( with
his family and party ) is spending the
heated 1 ] season near the cool and lauglv ]
ing j waters of Minnehaha Falls , above
Manitou j ) Springs , Colo. , preparatory to
warmer political times coming.
Dr. William A Hammond makes
the announcement as a scientific discov-
[
ery that the brains are not absolutely
necessary to life. It is singular that
the suspicions of mankind for the past
ages are at last confirmed by actual exI
periment.
There are now 1,200 republican
clubs in the state of New York , with a
membership ] of 200,000. The effect of
this strong oiganization will be felt in
November. It begins to look like a
republican victory in New York as well
as in Indiana.
Nebraska is warming up politically ,
County . conventions will be the order of
the clay for some time to come , and as-
pirants for nomination on state and
county tickets will do some tall lustliug.

From now until November G the tailors
will be rushed with orders for new but-
ton holes.
The idea that fast passenger trains
are more dangerous vehicles of travel
than those running at slower speed does
not hold good in practice , especially on
the Pennsylvania raihoad. The Chicaa
go Limited Express has been running
on the road for nine years and has met
with , only two accidents and neither of
these was accompanied by loss of life.
General Harrison ' s terse and exr
pressive sentences have already furnish
ed mottoes for all the campaign . BeV
ferring to soldiers ' pensions he sa's :
• My countrymen , it is no time now to '
use an apothecary's scale to reward the i
men who saved the country. " Groveri
Cleveland says by his acts "the chief
end of a President is to veto the pension
claims of old soldiers and their widows. "

England u ed to charge us $150 per ]
ton ( for steel rails when she could have b
sold them at $80 per ton and make re ]
spectable margin of profit. A profit of t
$120 on a single ton of steel rails , withc
out skilled labor recehingan iota of c
benefit , , is English all through. Do our a
skilled workmen want anyof this Cievee
land revenue reform in theirs ? If they w
do . let them hang out the "bandanna"
sign at once.

Blaine has landed once more upon b
the soil of his native land. His speech t
reply to the addiess of welcome , dealt sl
with the question of protection and extl
pressed those sentiments which have ii
given him a front rank among American fi
statesmen. : The welcome accorded the &
plumed knight was enthusiastic and Jj
shewed that the people are keenly alive
the importance of the present cam
paign m deciding issues so radically efs
Fecting American properity. c

The labor question ought to be thor- ?
aughly ' sifted by the time the national
bureau of labor is ready with a full re- n
port. ! Congress has enlarged its scope ,
giving Colonel Wright , who is at the
liead ' of the department , power to in
quire into the social , economic and moral w
sonditions of working women in leading
2ties , and to ascertain the condition of ,
w
railway employes. Aside from this j j
bureau , the national government has' ai
instituted special inquiries. Such arc ' j by
the Ford immigration committee , now '
investigating the movement of pauper > t
labor into America , and the reports of
jnr consuls in foreign countries as to jc
the condition aoroad. Twenty-one
states , moreover , have bureaus of labor
statistics which co-operate with the naoi
tional bureau. From all these sources st
Colonel Wright can draw information si
ind make such deductions as the testipi
mony in his hands may warrant. h
Omaha Bee. ci
Wheat has gone up. English ad
vices show that the demand is active
and holders offer freel } * . This will bring
joy to the American farmer. Owing to
the shortage in the wheat crop in Great
Biitain and France , estimated at over
75,000,000 bushels , the advance in
price for American wheat is almost cer
tain. Both America andllussia will he
called upon to make up the deficiency
of western Europe. India cannot be
depended upon for a supply , as the crop
thcie has been smaller than the average
for the past few years. Bussian wheat
has excited tho prejudice of English
buyers on account of its unclcanliness ,
so : it appears that the bulk of Great
Britain's supply will be drawn from the
United States.
Colonel George Cakmona , of
Mexico , on his way home from Paris ,
stopped in New York to see the Blaine
reception. ] General Sickles asked him
what would be the effect of such a pa
rade , as that of Tuesday night in France
or ( Mexico , and he replied that "if the
outs . could arrange such a demonstration
in either country there would be no need
of waiting for the formality of an elec-
, tion ; the government would be changed
before going to bed. " There is where
our government is superior to all others.
AVe do things in order , and even after
an election , give a President six months
to * pack his valise.
, The largest dam in the world is to be
built across the upper end of the San
Mateo canon , about four miles vest
of the village of San Mateo. The dam
will } consist of a solid wall of concrete
from hillside to hillside , the measure
ment being 700 feet long , 175 feet high ,
j 175 feet thick at the base and twenty
feet thick at the top. The vast reser-
voir which will be formed by the con-
struction of this dam will have the enor-
mous capacity of 111,080,000 gallons ,
and at a future time will be connected
with the San Francisco watershed by a
tunnel t five miles long.
If , as is intimated , there is or has
been an } ' tampering with the returns on
the "submission" question from the re- "
publican I primary election a close in
vestigation ought to be made and if
such tampering has been done the guilty
parties ought to be hunted down and
punished. The vote on this question
was for the purpose of securing an ex
pression of the real sentiment of a ma-
jority of the party and any attempt to
thwart the giving of this expression
should be treated as such a ciiminal
act deserves. Lincoln Journal.
Ox Friday last , a New York judge
made the da } memorable by fining Dan-
iel . J. Ilaidy. an actor , $10 for kissing
May j Reynolds against her will. Mr.
Hardy ] might have got off with a lighter
fine or have been dismissed with the
costs had he not very thoughtlessly de
clared that he ki.ssed her on the spur
of the moment under extreme provoca
tion , and that he " repented" of his felo
nious assault immediately that it had
been committed. The judge looked at
May and decided that a fellow that
would repent of having kissed her owed
an X to the commonwealth.
, In accepting the reuomination for
Governor of Georgia Governor Gordon
said : "One of the greatest , if not the
mightiest , factor in the calculation of
chances is the solid South. " Governor
Gordon understands the situation and
at home does not mince matteis. The
V
Democrats ought to publish his speech
as a campaign document , because it
gives the true inwardness of the situa B
1
tion as no Democrat North has been
able to place it before the people.
IIev. J. H. Lozieb , the "fighting *
chaplain , " is a prohibitionist clear
through and through , but does not be
lieve j in the third party nonsense a little
bit. He is now in this state on a short
lecture ( tour , after which he will go cast
to < stump for Harrison and Morton. The
chaplain is an earnest and eloquent talk
er , a wliole-souled , Clnistian gentleman ,
hard and enthusiastic worker , and his
efforts in behalf of the republican party
will be of great value.
It is not improbable that if there
were no tax on whiskey the traffic would
be larger than it is , but even with the
tax ; it goes on growing. Government
statistics show that the receipts from
the internal revenue are steadily increas-
inir , and that the increase for the last
< cal year was mostly from the items of
spirits ] and fermented liquors. Omaha
Bee.
The practices of railroad wrecking ,
stock-watering , pools and * trusts are
contrary < to the common lawbut , they
should be placed under the ban of the
criminal ' statutes. After this country-
has developed the degree of stamina ,
necessary . to send a fevr great million
aires ' to prison for conspiring to make
fond ( dear , or to plunder the small in
vestors of the country , these practices * "
will be brought to a very sudden stop. |
The latest lecord of John L. Sullivan
was made , Saturday evening. He got j
drunk , , went driving , smashed the buggy
and . ended his disgraceful proceedings
being arrested. Usually when a
man is drunk he acts out his real self.
The drunkbrutal bully is a thoroughly
disgraced , character. His glory , such as
was , has departed.
A woman in Belfast , Me. , who went
aut in the storm , the other day , had her

said that it felt as though some one had
poured hot water down her back. She

crusade.
