Colonkl J H Agek bns again placed
the people of the state of Nebraska under
everlasting obligation for his clover ser
vices in organizing the Nebraska legis
lature now in session And again in
sooing tbat none but good Indians got
on the important committees Now
nothing more strenuous remains for the
colonel to do than to see that the legisla
ture attempts nothing unseemly against
his clients Ilis odd moments may philan
thropically be devoted to assisting tbat
other eminent patriot of purest ray serene
Colonel Prank Harrison in a glorious
effort to restrain any legislative attempts
at extravagance Truly we Nobraskans
have much to be grateful for
A Belshazzars Warning
Not from any sourco would thochnrge
be made that tho Wall Street Journal is
either anarchistically or soeialistically
inclined It would not be included by
tho most ultraconsorvativo in a list of
journals of oil omen from tho corpora
tion standpoint And yet who that
reads tho following editorial from its
columns can fail of tho conviction that
these are the words of a modern Daniel
come lo judgment
The handwriting is on the wall in
plain sight of everybody It matters
little whether the presidents recommen
dation in regard to federal regulation of
railroad rates or Commissioner Garfields
recommendation of federal licenses for
interstate corporations are enacted at
this session or or whether they pres
ent tho best solution possible for tho
corporation prol lem This thing is cer
tain that they are a dicolosuio of the
inevitable to tho corporation world
Surely and not slowly ia this count
ry progressing more and moro toward
centralization of power in tho federal
government and surely and not slowly
is public opinion favoring this centrali
zation as the only practicable method
for the control of the corporations Those
who are at tho head of the great corpo
rations may use all of their power of
money and influence may call into exer
cise the ingenuity of the ablest lawyers of
thocountryand may oven resort to polit
ical corruption to prevent this result but
at most they can only delay the consum
mation of the desire of tho people
Their better their more politic course
would bo to acept the inevitable in a
philosophic and patriotic spirit and en
deavor to adjust their business to the
now conditions thus created Such a
policy would bo better for them and
better for tho country It would avoid
tho pains and penalties of a long struggle
Itwould avoid also tho bitterness which
such a struggle would engender and it
would be apt to save tho corporations
from measures which would bo unjust
because inspired by a spirit of revenge
Ill bravo tho storms of Chilkoot Pass
Ill cross the plains of frozen glass
Id leave my wife and cross the sea
Rather than bo without Rockv Mountain

Emulsion makes the blood
pure One reason why

EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood It is partly di

stomach a double advan
tage in this Less work

A Maprnc Personulty
A magnetic personality which at
tracts tho common run of mortals as
moths are attracted to a candle is
much coveted in these days and is cer
tainly a valuable possession btit it will
perhaps be some consolation to the wo
man who cannot attract the attention
of everybody in a room the moment
she enters it that many great men and
women had no personality worth
mentioning There is a story of Fanny
Burnoy sitting unobserved in a corner
and haringsto bo dragged into promi
nence at a rout Browning was disap
pointed when lie met George Eliot
though they afterward became friends
Charlotte Bronte was always at a dis
advantage in society and many other
similar cases might be mentioned
Great minds are often without this
charm of manner while persons of
quite ordinary talents may have the
faculty of mesmerizing not only those
with whom they come into immediate
contact but all their contemporaries
thus acquiring a fame out of all pro
portion to their merits

Wendell Phillips used to tell this sto
ry on Emerson with considerable glee
Once while I was lecturing In the
west a young fellow came up to me as
I was leaving the platform He intro
duced himself explained that a lecture
course was being talked of in his town
for the net season and wanted to
know if I would be kind enough to
suggest some good lecturers I replied
that I would be glad to do so and
named Henry Ward Beecher George
William Curtis Bayard Taylor and
Emerson
Emerson Emerson said the
young feliow looking perplexed Who
Is Emerson
I informed him that Emerson was
the leading philosopher of the country
one of its great original thinkers The
young fellow reflected a moment and
then observed
Well Mr Phillips well put Emer
son on our course if you say so I sup
pose a man of that sort ought to be en
couraged
