precedent of some value. Badeau un-
\ dertook to draw his leave pay as an offi-
cer in the army at the same time the

lb ary as consul general at London and Ra-

got his consular salary. Badeau's case

\ , cAt the postoffice department in

( i "a curious thing has been found in the
* line of applications. It is the photo
graph of an applicant for a postofSce
and is accompanied by the request that
" j the picture be filed with the papers in
- , " the case. What is intended to be a
r j genial smile has evidently been too
' - . - much for the skill of the country pho
tographer , and the result is an expres-
, sion of mingled astonishment and dis-
\ maywhich is no doubt much more
amusing than the original smile. This
r * is the third application accompanied by
t a photograph received at the postoffice
department , and if the action of the
postmaster general is favorable in these
'
; " . cases , there is a probability of the cus-
1. torn becoming general. "
The state board of public lands and
buildings finds itself in the soup with
reference to several of our most import
ant state institutions , because of the
absurd "cuts" of the senate "combine"
of unripe statesmen , and they say that
• with the best management it will proba-
m. bly be neoessary to close up a portion
of'them before the two years roll around
unless there should be called a session
to keep keep them on their feet. Or
possibly Nebraska will pass around the !
. . - hat among the charitable to eke out the ,
pittances granted to asylums and other :
* philantrophical institutions. The late j
legislature made no cut that would lop
off the pay and perquis ities of able bod- ,
ied politicians , who came up to help the
members thereof to do business , but
i -when it came to the care of the weak
and helpless , to the education of the [
of the boys and girls of Nebraska , they \
put on the screws and "saved" to the 3
verge of highway robbery. State Jour- <

In arranging for the centennial cele-
(
bration at New York , there has been a
lack of harmony which is not creditable
to the people of the American metrop- „
olis. The anniversary is purely nationt
al in its character , and the small spirit c
of local rivalry should not be permitted "
to interfere with the preparations for a e
great historic jubilee in which every j ;
American is interested. The strife
• which has been stirred up in New York
over an enterprise'which should inspire °
the most hearty feeling of co-operation t ;
could not exist in a Western city. The r
great significance of the occasion would n
dwarf every other thought and interest ,
andwould crystalize into perfect harti
mony every element that could be made b
serviceable in promoting the success of t ]
the undertaking. The country is deep-
ly concerned in the success of the cele
bration of so important an event as the
the centennial of Washington's inaugur-
ation , but it is not interested in the
pretty squabble between Fifth avenue . ,

and Murray ifY TTM1 . , T
The reports from California regard-
ing an organized scheme to invade and
I capture Lower California are very likea
ly largely sensational ) Yet there is
nothing incredible in the idea of such a g
movement. Bands have been organized m
to seize territory within the United
States , so that there is nothing unlikely
S about a filibustering scheme against iu
Mexican territory. But it is not probfc
able that men like Mackay and some * L
others of equal responsibility are iden- . '
tified with it. Of course , if there is lo
any such scheme on foot , it is doomed sa
to failure. Our government would not w
permit any filibustering expedition orth
ganized within its jurisdiction to pro
ceed against the possessions of a friendly
government , and every man who should cli
engage in such a scheme would become tj1
an ouilaw. Still it is possible to find
men desperate enough to take any
chance in which there is the slightest ,
promise of gain. So that the reported aj
scheme is not to be regarded &b necespa

The decision of tho supremo court of Ne
braska tbat a note given to cover margins isn't
binding' on the maker , bas attracted a good
deal of attention at trado centers. It is a
wagering contract according to tho opinion of
tho court and not intended for tho actual salo
and delivery of property.
Congress very generously appropriated flye
hundred thousand dollars for tho support of
the Samoan commissien. Tho loss of the three
American frigates , together with the cost of
tho naval expedition to tho South Sea islands ,
will , at least , foot up to another five hundred
thousand. As yet , tho return for this vast ex
penditure has been nothing , and tho prospects
aro thut this investment of a million dollars ,
or more , is the poorest Unclo Sam has made
for some time.
It is asserted on tho authority of a demo
cratic newspaper at Cleveland , 0. , that Sena
tor Payne will not bo a candidate for re-elec
tion. At tho end of his term next year bo will
be elghty-ono years old and at his ago he feels
like retiring. With Payno out of tho way coal
oil boodle will probably disappear as a factor
in Ohio politics , much to the good of the state.
Tho election of Payno was a disgrace to the
state and tho refusal of the United States to
investigate tho outrage was an added Insult
to Injury.
Henry "Ward Beecher died in time. He
would not have thanked anybody for prolong
ing his life" to seo his son sent to the peniten
tiary for stealing right and left from tho gov
ernment and private citizens while a treasury
agent of Uncle Sam , appointed through the
gratitude of a democratic administration for
his father's services as a mugwump. The
United States grand jury of Washington terri
tory has brought in eleven indictments against
Herbert Beecher for as many depredations on
the government treasury while in office. Two
other treasury officials are indicted with him.
The Oklahoma craze is one of tho most re
markable which has over occurred in the his
tory of the west. It is about on a par with tho
many mining excitements which occur period
ically in Colorado and adjoining states and ter
ritories. Tho Oklahoma craze appears to have
had its origin in or about Kansas City. It is
undoubtedly part and parcel of a scheme to
eventually open the Indian territory to the
white settler and civilization. Such an event
would not only be of importance to ICansas
City , but to tho entire West. Tho nation has
outgrown the idea with which tho territory
was established as a sort of a reservation for
conquered Indian tribes. When they were
placed there , even the wildest dreamer would
not have dared to predict the rapid progress
which the nation has made in the last half cen
tury , and particularly within tho last twenty-
five years.
Secretary Tracv has been taking a run
around Unclo Sam's shipyards and it is said
that he surprised the oldest barnacles in the
service. He found the Chicago , a man of war ,
all ready far sea but for one gun that she had
been waiting for about six months. He or
dered tho gun to be put aboard inside of
twenty-four hours and we have an increase in
the effective navy right away. Every time he
noticed a war vessel in the dock he wanted to
know why she wasn't at sea and when he as
certained why , he streaked the pale air with
instructions to make her ready at once. The
shaking up that he gave the fellows who con
sider the chief end of a war vessel to be on the
dock so as to give them tho appearance of hav
ing something to do , was said to be terrible .
and to amount to a revolution. We hope Gen.
Tracy will keep it up and have the red tape
that has so log strangled the navy cut off arid
burned in less than three months.

When with some soap a salesman bold
Comes in your place to there unfold
His samples , and proceeds to say :
" This equals , sir , in every way
The Ivory ; 'tis made in fact
By the same formula exact ; A
'Tis just as white , indeed the man
Who makes this soap by perfect plan ,
Has made the Ivory o'er and o'er
For Procter & Gamble heretofore.
Besides , this soap brings to the till
More profit than the Ivory will. "
He means to use by such a game , Reply to all who do intend
Your reputation and good name To use you thus to gain their end :
A fraud or counterfeit to sell " When you for your own soap create ,
Of what is known and proven well. Upon its worth demand as great
„ , . , . . „ As Ivory Soap this day can claim ,
This means his soap will never go
ru b should trade the same
On its own merits fast or slow ;
But have no ti j t
And you , like him , the truth must toss
To introduce r ou
Clean overboard , or sell at loss. [ land And customer your perhap soap offeiJd
It means still more , that throughout the "
w ± ds j commend.
The Ivory Soap s in great demand. b
For none chase with imitations frail Don't buy the soap that salesmen say :
An article that has no sale. " Is like the Ivory every way , "
And who for counterfeit will pay For grocers can this tale unfold
The price of genuine goods to-day ? Of every hundred cakes they sold
Then whence can the advantage flow On seventy-five a loss they bore ,
Or how can you "more profit" know ? Or else it ne'er had left their store.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps , each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory' j"
they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for " Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting it.

The farmers of Kansas are still
writhing in the meshes of the twine
trust and many of tnem have determin

method of harvesting their wheat and
binding it with straw. The expense
which will be required to employ addi

ably more than offset the cost of twine ,
but it will be some satisfaction to boy
