Dr. Mercer , of Omaha , has an nounced his determination to enter the gubernatorial race , to the sur prise of many and consternation of not a few.

The silver bill has passed the house. It does not give us free coinage , but if the senate passes this measure the country will have $4,500,000 added to its circulating medium every thirty days. ; A public library has been pre sented by Andrew Carnegie to the ' * , City of Edinburgh , Scotland. One Z of the beauties of high protection [ ' is that it enables its beneficiaries r to be generous with other people's ? .v jnoney. • Queen Yictoria has suggested to parliament legislation that shall refuse marriage license in cases where it does not appear that a family can be supported. The en actment of such a law fifty years ago and its impartial enforcement would have made every child to which the Queen has given birth , a celebate. There is not one in the whole lot who has earned enough to pay for tho salt in the porridge which constitutes a regular article of diet at the Queen's table. Boston hug u newfangled studv called mindconcentration. . " Ii was taught in one of the leading seminaries , but is beginning to fall into disfavor. Two young ladies have suffered from nervous prostra tion for six months on account oi their devotion to the study , and may never regain their lost strength. As soon as the fad sends a few peo ple to the mad house it will be dropped for something else. Bos ton changes her hobbies easilj enough , and will part with this without much regret. The strawberries produced this season have not been satisfactory in flavor in any part of the country The crop is unusually abundant anc the berries are large but the peo pie are sighing for the old fashion ed fruit with its irresistible habU of melting in the mouth and its in comparable flavor. The truth is that overculture has destroyed the strawberry. The more it is civil ized and "improved" the more does it lose the qualities that have made it the favorite berry of this lati tude. Journal. The daily business of the Stand ard Oil trust amounts to § 400,000 , or $ Ufi,000,000 a year. The total value of its plant added to the in dividual wealth of its members is believed to be quite modestly esti mated at § 750,000,000 of which total John D. Bockfeller's fortune alone figures at § 130,000,000. The original cash capital of this colos sal trust twenty-six years ago , when it was founded , was but § 75,000 , - 000. The old proverb which says "Honest- the best policy" is knocked out in one round by figures like these. A special session of the Illinois legislature has been called for the purpose of enacting the necessary laws to expedite work on the world's fair. The financial end of the expo sition , while not in a flourishing condition , will be provided for by giving the city of Chicago authori ty' to issue five millions in bonds , and to vest in the city temporarily the right of eminent domain. Both laws are essential to the success of the fair. The right to condemn property for fair purposes will re move a serious obstacle to early work on the buildings and prevent to a large extent the struggle over sites. The public will learn with sin cere regret that Lionel Burnett , who is known to the reading world as "Little Lord Fauntleroy , " is dy ing of consumption at Philadel phia. Mrs. Burnett will have the earnest sympathy of the mothers of the land , who have learned to love the little hero whose lovely character has been portrayed in the popular work of fiction of which he is the central figure. But un less the writer of "Little Lord Fauntleroy" exaggerated the amia ble qualities of her son , she had no cause to hope that she would be able to rear him. Children like the "Little Lord" are too good for this wicked world. They never live to pass the period of early youth. The government land office rig idly adheres to the principles snunciated by Judge Groff. In bwo recent decisions affecting en tries in Nebraska , in which con tests were made on the ground of insufficient cultivation , the depart- nent promptly dismissed the cases. Ct was shown that the settlers en ured the land in good faith and jomplied with the law to the ex- : ent of their ability. This is all : he department requires. It is in iccord with the spirit of the law vhich was designed to assist set ters to secure a home. When- and culti 3ver a settler occupies vates a homestead to the extent of lis ability , the department de- ; lares he shall be protected in his • ia-hts. In such cases claim jump- srs will not receive the slightest ancouragement. Bee.

The bill pending in congress providing for the protection of tim ber lands on the public domain should be promptly passed. It is estimated that there are fifteen mil lion acres of timber land in tho west and northwest. Of this vast empire hundreds of acres are ruined annually by fires started by careless campers , hunters and pro spectors. The evil can only be stopped by visiting severe penal ties on all persons who start or leave fire in the forest. A meas ure of this kind , vigorously and impartially enforced , is essential to the preservation of the remnant of forests. Disastrous results in variably follow the shippings of mountains of timber , as is shown by the annual flood torrents in the Ohio valley. In the mountains of the west it is particularly import ant that every possible means should be employed to protect the timber from destruction. The suc cess of irrigation largely depends on preserving the timber so to insure gradual melting of snow. It is a crime for the government to continue indifferent to the preser vation of forests and permit its causeless destruction by vandals. Bee. Close readers of the best week ly papers published in Nebraska have noticed a decided change of late in the tone of the articles on the condition of the farmers and business interests of the state generally. The country press , it appears , is beginning to reflect a general desire among the sober , thinking farmers , to cease their bitter denunciations of the rail roads and the mercantile classes , and to defend the state against the attacks of the demagogues who are willing to blast the reputation of Nebraska to secure public office for themselves. It is fortunate that the farmers are beginning to leam that these pretended friends are their worst enemies , and it is doubly fortunate that the farmers have an opportunity to express their convictions on this subject through the columns of the local press. Demagogism has killed itself in Nebraska. Journal. The selection of Bishop Burke as successor of the late Bishop O'Connor is an event of unusual in terest to members of the Boman Catholic church. His promotion is the result of peculiar circum stances. Bather than offend the bishops of the province and the priests of the diocese , both having recommended two prominent clergymen for the position , the propaganda chose the middle course and selected Bishop Burke of "Wyoming. His ability , energy and conservative zeal manifested in other fields will be invaluable in the wider sphere which the See af Omaha affords. Being familiar with western ways and wants , there is no doubt he will prove an honor ; o the position and an important ac quisition to the religious parts of : he city. Bee. There are chumps and chumps , sut the fifty or more members of ; he Nebraska press who swallowed " " hook bait and } he "Turner Fake , , ill , are doubtless the most discon solate gang of commodious asses to 3e found in the commonwealth to- lay. Governor Thayer may step lown and out of the gubernatorial jhair , this winter , with the satis- " action of having performed the luties of the office faithfully and well as he understood them.
