I’ll start a paper when I’m rich, a sheet the angels will adore, no tripod will the office have, no latch string will adorn the door. It will not hew right to the line, no matter where the chips may fall, “the Sun” shall never be its name, and it will fail to “shine for all.” “Ye scribe” will take no flying trips,” nor read ers print their “cards of thanks,” no roulett tables will be there, nor poker chips nor faro banks. No “Gems of thought” will published be, nor puffs exchanged for bales of hay, though it may live for years and years, it wont aunounce“we'vs come to stay.” No windy screeds from “Veritas” my paper’s columns will deface, and {‘More Anon” may go and take his hogwash to a hot ter place. My paper will bo true to friends, and rip the bleeding scalp from foes, and harmony may seek the woods, and dress in mother Hudard clothes. I’ll start a paper when I’m rich, to roast and flay the traitor tribe, and if you are in the swim you’ll come up to the office and subscribe.—Walt Mason. % BLAINE IS DEAD. The announcement of the death of James G Blaine will turn many a heart to the words written ages and ages ago, even the words'of the Preacher, the son of David, Iiiug in Jerusalem: “What profit hath a man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun ?” Here we have the“last of earth,” the final chapter, the climax of the story, the end of the sermon, and the feeling left behind is that of the profoundest melancholy. Lookiug back at the past it seems that no man, no American, could have begun life under more fortu nate circumstances; he was born with a fine body, inheriting from a sturdy ancestry a strong constitu tion ; his mind was as strong as his body; surrounding circumstances were favorable; while not cradled in the lap of luxury, “chill penury” never checked or limited the aspir ations of youth. He was well born, well nurtured, well educated. He went out into the wide world to seek his fortune at an early tge, as is the custom and privilege of young Americans, and he found iortune. Blaine was, among so many other things, fortunate that he knew his own powers; he was superbly con fident in himself; in his youth he made no mistakes: he never halted or vacillated. He entered on noth ing that he could not carry through; he lost no time. Ten days after his graduation, he entered on a successful career as a teacher. He fearlessly transferred himself to a strange country and succeeded as an editor; he stepped from the editorial sanctum to the hails of state legislation, and won every triumph there was to be gained there; thence to congress, and he became a striking figure there. Then he assumed the speaker’s chair and left it enrolled among the three great presiding sfiicers of that body; thence once and again to the cabinet, and won dis tinction there, meanwhile making a reputation as one of the clearest and strongest writers of our nation al political history. Teacher, editor, legislator of his state and of the United States, presiding officer of the House, Senator and Secre tary of State, and distinguished in all—what more fortunate career than this ? Yet there is a reverse side; and while victorious on so many fields, he was defeated when victory was everything to him. In the game where he staked all he lost. He was never the same man after the defeat in 1884. The wounds of that awful campaign were never healed. He remained in the field and continued to be a bright and shining figure. Shouting thou sands rallied round him and called chief; but for his own happiness and peace he should have died be fore. After that fatal year the great troubles rolled in upon him like the waves of the sea; his children died around him un timely; disease took hold on him and he endured more than the Spartan boy with the fox gnawing at his vitals. He had wealth but it was like gold given to a man who is dying of thirst and wants only water, water. He grew moody and irritable with his losses and misery. He took to his bed, and there was silence. They closed the doors and drew down the blinds; they talked myste riously of his malady, and created a sort of cloud about his final hours; and so he who had won so much and lost so much, died. Poor Blaine. The Czar of Russia spends per sonally 10 million dollars a year. But what satisfaction can a man have in blowing in between §20, 000 and §25,000 a day when he is liable to be blown up himself at any moment? Railroad accidents due to the effects of cold weather are no long er common. Good tracks, good materials and careful management have done away with the cold weather disasters in great measure and we now have only those resul ting from sheer carelessness or from unfitness for duty caused by overwork. The overworking of employes can and should be pre vented by law in the interest of public safety. The Nebraska State Business Men’s association is considering a scheme for running an excursion train to the world’s fair for the exclusive accommodation of the retail merchants of the state. Such a train would be another fruit ful advertisement for Nebraska, and the Business Men’s association may be expected to successfully carry out anything undertaken in the interest of this great and rabid ly advancing commonwealth. The proposal to reduce passen ger rates to 2A cents per mile in Nebraska and to prohibit free trans portation would not, if adopted, result in any loss to the railroads, assuming that the provision relat ing to free transportation were rigidly enforsed. All experience show's that a moderate charge en courages travel, and if everybody who now gets fvee transportation, other than the employes of the roads, were required to pay, the income from this source would nearly or quite make up the differ ence between the present rate and the one propose. Numerous in stances can be cited of a reduction of passenger rates proving profita ble to the railroads from giving a stimulus to travel, and that such should be the practical result is obvious. It would be a wise thing on the part of the railroads to make this concession to the public, but of course they will be found vigor ously antagonizing the proposition. —Bee. NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT. When the publishers decided to issue The Journal twice a week at the same price of the old week lies, §1.00 per year, they shuck just what the public wanted— something between the old-fash ioned weekly and the high-priced daily. The success of The Semi Weekly Journal has been imme diate and continued. It has dis tanced every one of its once-a-week rivals. It doesn’t take long to convince people that a good live paper every Tuesday and Friday is better than only one a week, especially when you appeal to their pocket books, and give it to them at the same price. Readers will testify that it is almost as good as a daily. The markets twice a week are worth the money. Four complete novels each year by “The Duchess,” Miss Braddon, and other widely known authors, are worth the dollar. Its legisla tive news is its strong point just now. It is wide-awade, spends money for news, and is always in the lead. You can see its supe riority over the old-fashioned weekly. Everyone who subscribes now gets a Seaside Library free. This offer won't hold good al-1 ways. One of our big offers is j The Semi-Weekly Journal and; Weekly New York Tribune, both one year for §1.25.
