It is one thinr? for n nolitif al nnrtv to
have a battle-cry to gain votes and thus
acquire the reins of government, but it
is another and a quite different thing to
believe your battle-cry and use it as a
working principle when you come into
power. The former may be styled the
trick of politicians, the latter is honest
endeavor at statesmanship, at least. One
is obtaining goods under false pretenses,
the other is paying for what you get, in
the honest money of the land. Don't
judge of a man's character by seeing him
on dress parade. The truth is more
apparent when the subject is not posing
to affect the election. Mullhall's Bal
ance Sheet of the World, an English and
Free Trade authority, says:
"It would be impossible to find a par
allel to the progress of the United States
in the last ten years. Every day that
the sun rises upon the American people
it sees an addition of $2,500,000 to the
accumulation of wealth in the republic,
which is equal to one-third of the daily
accumulation of all mankind outside of
the United States."
This is a fact stated with due delibera
tion, and nothing of our governmental

The following paragraph clipped from
the lost number of tho Nebraska Mute
Journal, shows a little of what is possi
blo to accomplish with the deaf:
"Miss Rudd attended the First Chris
tian church last Sunday, and waB de
lighted to find that she was able to get
the entire sermon from the pastor's lipB.
Rev. Cramblet is a smooth faced gentle
man who speaks not too fast and very
distinctly. Being seated near the pulpit
Ella caught each sentence perfectly, and
camo home enthusiastic in praise of the
sermon, and herself, becauso she was
able to accomplish this wonderful feat.
At home, Ella is a remarkable lip-reader,
but this is the first instance we have
known of a totally deaf person taking in
a whole sermon from a pew with her
eyes. Rev. Cramblet will be sure to
have at least ono attentive 'hearer' in
future for she will never take her eyes
off of him, as ho talks."
One of the most surprising develop
ments of the day in politics is the ap
pearance of Mr. Henry Villard as a
democratic boss and ono of Mr. Clove
land's confidential friends and advisers.
Mr. Villard is of foreign birth, a million
aire himself and the representative of a
powerful syndicate of foreign capital in
this country. For many years he has
been identified with the management of
tho Northern Pacific railroad, in which
ho and the foreign capitalists he repre
sents have large interests. No man in
tho country has had more practical ex
perience in land grabbing on a largo
scale, in booming railroad towns on
paner. in maninulatiui; terminal sites,
etc., than Mr. Villard. That he should
bo ono of tho confidential friends and
political advisers of a man who made his
race for president as a representative of
Jcffersonian democracy and sworn enemy
of plutocrats seems very strange, to say
the least, yet so it is. Indianapolis

The following concerning the late ox-
l'rcsident Hayes' business methods is
going the rounds of the papers: Only a
few weeks before his death ox-President
Hayes told a western interviewer that ho
had turned over to his sons all his busi
ness matters. "For instance," said he,
"1 intend to make a trip to Baltimore
tomorrow, and in the morning, just be
fore I start, I will got down to tho bank
and ;isk Rud for some money. I will
probably say to him: 'Rud, I am going
to Baltimore, and I think I had better
have about $200 for the trip.' And, just
as like as not, Rud will answer: 'Father,
that's too much; I don't think you need
more than $150.' And I suppose I will
take it. That's the way I used to do
with him, and that's the way ho does
with me now."
The World-Herald says that Al.
Beemer, whom Gov. Crounse has just
appointed warden of tho penitentiary at
a salary of $1,500, is a wealthy man,
"big, six-foot, with more health and
vitality than half the men in Nebraska,"
and wants to know "what business he
has drawing money from the pension
bureau when ho is plenty able to sup
port himself and twenty families be
sides, ir necessary." It does seem that
the democratic papers are trying to
create a public sentiment linking insep
arably tho three words "pauper, sol
dier, pensioner." The right-minded,
well-informed citizens of the United
States appreciate the value of tho ser
vices of the cit'zen soldiers, and will
never tolerate a stigma upon them.
Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.
Is the victorious democratic party on
tho evo of disruption? Democrats of
national prominence in congress private
ly express the belief that it is, and pre
dict that long before tho end of tho
administration to begin noxt month the
separation between the wings will be
open and final. The principal cause of
this belief is the wide gulf that exists
between Mr. Cleveland and tho southern
and western democrats on the Silver
question, a gulf which the failure of Mr.
(J. to force the repeal by congress of the
present Silver law has widened and made
apparently impassable. Notice has been
publicly served on Mr. Cleveland by
Representative Bland, the leader of tho
Silver democrats in the house, that
further attempts along this line would
bring about a withdrawal of the Silver
men from the party. The forcefulness
of Mr. Cleveland's character is so well
known here that tho general opinion is
that he will continue his fight against
silver by calling an early extra session of
the Fifty-third Congress, unless convinc
ed that a bill for the repeal of the Silver
law would be voted down in either the
house or senate. In that case ho would
postpone calling an extra session until he
had "converted" n sufficient number to
carry his point.
The selection of Judge Walter Q.
Gresham, as the head of the cabinet,
which is accepted here as an accomplish
ed fact, will also be a factor in bringing
about a split in the democratic party. As
a rule the democrats in congress decline
to publicly discuss this selection, but
privately they are showing their anger
and disappointment. The feeling among
them may be judged by the fact that
Senator Gorman, who is ordinarily the
most indifferent of men to newspaper
stories printed of him, took special pains
to go around among the Washington
correspondents and contradict the pub
lished rumor that Gresham had been
selected on his advice. With tho natur
al shrewdness of the tactful political
wirepuller Gorman lost no time in disa
vowing his responsibility for Gresham;
he had seen and noted the effect of the
announcement of his selection upon his
party associates in congress.
Senator Hill has been quietly sounding
the democratic senators to ascertain how
maiiv of them are willing to carry their
opposition to Gresham to the extent of
voting against his confirmation as a
member of the cabinet. If he can secure
the pledges of a sufficient number of
senators to defeat the confirmation he
proposes to do it, although it wouid be
something never before attempted, as it
has been considered one of the unwritten
laws of the senate to confirm cabinet
nominations without question.
Pressure is beitur brought to bear to
have Serjeant-at-Arms Yoder of the
house made commissioner of pensions, if
ine scheme of transferring that bureau
to the War Department and suspending
the pensions of all widows married since
1870; of all men having an income in ex
cess of $G00 a year, and, except for total
incapacity, of all alien non-residents,
fails, as it will. The commissionership I
is merely to be used as a stepping stone '
to the democratic nomination for Gover
nor of Ohio. The claim is made ly
Yoder's friends that his connection with
the U. V. U. will enable him to get the
votes of a sufficient number of old sol
diers, heretofore republicans, to anchor
Ohio permanently in the democratic
column.
The house committee of ways and
means is on a wild goose chase after a
silly newspaper rumor alleging that Sec
retary Foster had agreed to sell S50,000,
000 worth of bonds to a suydicate of
New York bankers for gold. There is
not a word of truth iu the rumor. Sec
retary Foster lias made no agreement to
sell bonds and hits no intention of mak
ing such an agreement, and he has no
idea thut tho financial situation will be
such during this administration as to
causo him to even take such a step into
serious consideration. Besides, it is well
known to those who enjoy the President's
confidence that he would not permit an
issue of bonds.
The democrats in the houso nttempted
to railroad the proposed radical changes
in the pension laws through tho house
without debate, but they wero hauled up
short by the republicans, who told them
hey would fillibubtor until the end of the
session if tho fullest debate wero not
allowed. The debute will go on this
week.
Tho President has fully made up his
mind, and will, it is thought this week,
send n message to congress favoring
Hawaiian annexation. A majority of
congress favors annexation, but some of
the democrats would prefer to postpone
it until the next administration, and it is
possible they may attempt to do so.
It is really amusing to hear tho demo
crats with their big majority in the
houso plead the baby act and try to
charge the republicans with tho respon
sibility of defeating Mr. Cleveland's
wishes.
Food That has Been Kept for Ajse.
"I have eaten apples that ripened more
than 1,80(1 years ago, bread made from
wheat grown before thechildren of Israel
passed through the Red Sea, spread it
with butter that was made when Eliza
beth v:is queen of England, and washed
down the repast with wine that was old
when Columbus was playing barefoot
with tho boys of Genoa," said a gentle
man at tho club tho other day.
The remarkable "spread" was given by
an antiquary named Gorbel, in the city
of Brussels, in 1871. Tho apples were
from a jar taken from tho ruins of Pom
peii, that bnried city to whose people we
owo our knowledge of canning fruit.
The wheat was taken from a chamber
in one of the smaller pyramids, the but
ter from a stone shelf in an old well in
Scotland, where it had lain iu an earth
enware crock in icy water, and the wine
came from uu old vault iu tho city of
Corinth.
There were six guests at the table, and
each had a mouthful of breaJ and a
teaspoonful of wine, but was permitted
to help himself liberally to the butter,
there being several pounds of it.
Tho apple jar held altoiit two-thirds of
a gallon, and tho fruit was as sweet as
though put up yesterday.- Chicago

havi: WE OIL?
If Nut 'that, Have we Cus or Coal?
Joseph Henggler, who lives in tho
Shell creek valley, is pretty confident
that that immediate section of country is
possessed of oil, ami whether of gas and
coal ho is not yet quito convinced.
As a l)oy herding cattle, ho obt-orved a
spring of water issuing from the side of
a ravine a hundred yards from the well
about In be referred to; it was a constant
flow whether the beason w;is wet or dry,
and the head of the flow must bo up tho
creek or liiero mubt bo direct pressure
from immediate! beneath the spring.
Around this place he gathered black,
band, glimmer," something that looked
like gold and the soil nearby had a rusty
appearance. In boring wells near tho
place the clay was found rusty clear
dow n. Nothing like it anywhere around,
so far as he knows.
On George llengglor's place north of
Shell Creek there is a peculiar well. It
is what is known as a bored well, 12
inches in diameter and about fifty feet
deep. In this is a pipe 1 14 iuches in
diameter; tiio water escape is twenty
feet from tho surfaco (usuully they aro
placed hero from 4 to G feet); in real cold
weather thoro is a roaring sound in the
well not caused by wind above the sur
face of the earth, becauso the roaring is
distinct in quiet weather; two years ago
tho water in tho pipo of this well was
frozen down twenty feet, ho that tho
pipes burst and were taken up, this lino
of frost determining tho point for tho
"escape" hole thereafter; last winter the
water in the pipe froze again (notwith
standing the escape so low down), and
tho well was left unused till spring,
when tho ice thaw od out of course.
Just here wo may state that since
talking with Mr. Henggler, we had a
conversation with H. M. Crano of the
Bloomiugton Echo, who tells us that in
Franklin county, at Macon, thoro is a
well about 1!M) feet deep that has a roar
ing sound, tho air sometimes gushing
out and at other times drawn in, and
that the water iu the tube freezes to a
considerable depth, he didn't remember
just how far, but promieed us to send a
full description when ho returned home.
Near this well on George Henggler's
place aro springs in the ravines north,
and around them aie indications similar
to the first ono described. An oily coat
gathers on the water, the ground is soft
and swampy and a sulphur color pre
dominates. Mr. Henggler thinks that the lay of
tho country and tho surfaco indications
are pretty good evidence of coal below,
and the roaring and freezing in tho well,
he is convinced, is a strong evidence of
oil beneath, his reasoning being that in
cold weather the condensation of the
body of oil below draws the cold air into
the well, and thus causes the freezing of
tho water. IIo has done some experi
menting to prove his theory, and be
lieves ho has struck the right explanation.
It is proposed to immediately start
boring into the earth to seo what is there,
and wo could hope that there may be
found not only oil, bnt conl and gas.

The jury in the case of the Citting
hanging affair brought in a verdict
Saturday, finding the defendants, Peter
Botch, Peter Jelch, George Botch, Jan.
Frohling, Grant Collins and James Mar
shall, guilty of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm. Sentence was de
ferred until Monday, when the defen
dants attorneys filed a motion for a new
trial. The court again deferred the sen
tence, granting ten days time to consider
tho question of a new trial. To those
who attended the trial, outside of the
interested parties, tho verdict seems to
give general satisfaction. If a new trial
is not granted the sentenco will prob
ably be imprisonment in the penitentiary
for from two to five years each. The
prisoners are out on bail awaiting the
decision of the court. The way of the
transgressor is hard. Leigh World.

We want every mother to know that
croup can be prevented. True croup
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taben a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse
ness from the start. After that a pe
culiar rough cough is developed, which
is followed by the crup. The time to
net is when the child first becomes
hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will prevent the attack.
Even after a rough cough has appeared
the disease may be prevented by using
this remedy aBdirected. It has never
been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent
and $1 bottles for sale by C. E. Pollock
& Co. and Dr. Heintz, druggists. tf
"I havo just recovered from a sec
ond attack of the grip this year," says
Mr. James O. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in lied a little over two
days, against ten days for the first at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
finst but for the use of this remedy, as I
had to go to bed in about six hours after
being 'btruck' with it, while in tho first
case 1 was able to attend to business
about two days before getting 'down.' "

Some foolish people allow a cough
to run until it gets beyond the reach of
medicine. They often say, "Oh, it will
wear away, but in most cases it wears
them away. Could they be induced to
try the successful medicine called
Kemp's Balsam, which is sold on a posi
tive guarantee to cure, they would im
mediately 6ce the excellent effect after
taking the first dose. Price 50c and $1.
Trial size free. At all druggists. SJ-y
There is no danger from whooping
cough when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is freely given. It liquefies the
tough, tenacious mucus nnd aids in its
expectoration. It also lessens the se
verity and frequency of the paroxysms
of coughing, and insures a speedy re
covery. There is not the least danger
in giving it to children or babies, as it
contains no injurious substance. 50 cent

You never can be just quito certain
of the weather, even in Nebraska, which
