The independent state convention will have eight-hundred and sixty nine delegates and convene at Lincoln Tuesday, September 5th, at 2 p. m. Moke people livo on a square mile of ground in New York than on any other spot of land in tho world. Its densest parts contain 290,000 per square mile. A house of bad repute at Red Cloud was reduced to ashes Sunday morning. Two weeks ago a notice was sent to the city council, threatening to burn every such house in tho town unless steps were taken to rid the place of them. Senator Pfeffeb held up a bar of the precious metal tho other day, while making a speech and said: ''This bar Las in it just $8.80 worth of gold, the exact amount of tho same commodity contained in this eagle, which passes for 810. Nebraska has thirty-two head of cattle at the World's fair. They belong to William Miller's sons' Wayne; C. A. Elmendorf, Kearney; E. E. Day, Weep ing Water. Superintendent Dinsmore feels sure that the state will carry off some of the best prizes. In the house Monday, Bland's free coinage silver bill was rejected by over 100 majority; tho 17 to 1 amendment was also defeated, 100 yeas, 240 nays; also the 18 to 1; the 19 to 1; 20 to 1 was rejected by 119 to 222; the Wilson re peal bill was passed, 240 to 109. A gasoline explosion occurred in Flattsmouth recently, caused by a young lady pouring the oil into a tub of boiling water. There was no fire in the room at the time. The young girl w.'is pain fully burned on ono side of tho face but not seriously. If gasoline ignites from coming in contact with hot water a greater care will have to be maintained in its use. A citizen of Chicago proposes that as the city requires many improvements, they be made and paid for in city scrip of the denomination of ono to fivo dollars, to be made receivable by the city for all taxes and assessments duo tho city. It is claimed the butcher, baker, store keeper, and landlord would accept it in exchange for their goods and rents, be cause it would bo just as good for taxes and assessments as gold and silver. The Local Environment. "To everything there is a peason." Scripture. In one sense the world owes every man a living when ho earns it by hon est toil, and gets it thus. It seems strange that some men should bo so con stituted that they cannot feel at home unless they are occupying an office and enjoying tho more or less easily earned salaries that are thereto attached. There is a fascination about the pursuit of office that perhaps attaches to no other race under tho sun except the pursuit of wealth, and to tho ambitions, public spirited man, the opportunity that office gives for the development of his faculties is more than most else that is contained within their seemingly dull precincts. With most public stations, however, stripped of a certain glamor, there is left the consideration of what ordinary people call by a common expression, "bread and butter." And this is tho big end of practical politics in a county. A party becomes dominant through Borne special endeavor in tho early settle ment of a county and keeps it up by this and that, until a nomination is al most equivalent to an election. Then, all plans aro laid to compass a nomina tion. Three or four men are usually equal to tho task of making "a slate,'" and continuing themselves in office a greater or less length of time, according to the measure of objection or opposi tion that may be mado by other of their fellow-citizens who imagine that the "public crib" is not designed altogether for the benefit of a few, without a chance for succession within the life time of the ordinary mortal. Such has been the situation a goodly portion of tho time in Platte county, with an opportunity once in a while to trade in a republican who had some ex tra pull on the consideration of tho people, or who had an exceptionally weak opponent pitted against him. Now, however, party blind-bridles are not succeeding in hiding from oven tho casual observer that our county is now governed by a part of a party merely. A part of a party sets up tho pins for themselves and their friends without re gard for the interests of their party ad herents except an anxiety to have their votes. These last aro very essential in any scheme of office pursuing, and it is these that it is just about time should be cast.in the entire interest of tho gen eral public. . What say you, fellow-citizens? Shall the best man attainable for tho peculiar qualifications of each office to be filled in Platte county, bo selected by the people, or shall the political wire pullers be allowed, as is usually tho case, to say who shall draw the salaries attached to the various offices of. tho county the next two years. ' Tke "Lower Classes." There is a world of significance in the use of the term "lower classes," by William C. Whitney, the political men tor and intimate ofGrover Cleveland. This term is applied by Mr. Whitney to his fellow Americans who labor for a living, and who are all his political equals and many of them his superiors in every quality that merits esteem and commands respect. It is a term justly odious in this free Republic, where it has been the boast of the American peo ple that we have no classes, and that every man who obeys the law and per forms his duty as a citizen is the equal of every other citizen. The significance of Mr. Whitney's remark is in the dis position and intention which it indicates to create and promote class distinctions, such as exist in European countries. The whole drift of the Cleveland-Whitney-Mugwump-Democratic free trade conglomeration is toward the creation of a class, and that class to be composed of downtrodden, underpaid American workingmen and workingwomen, made such by free trade in the guise of tariff reform. The Republican party, by protecting American industry from the pauper com petition of Europe and Asia, has given the American workingman a chance to maintain his self respect and to com mand the respect of others. Protection has kept the American wage earner in circumstances that made it possible for him to rise, not into a higher class for no higher or more honorable class could exist but to affluence and independence. Tho successful employers of to-day were mostly workingmen yesterday, and, in deed, they are workingmen still, only their work is in a different sphere. They would never think of affecting to look down on their employees as of a differ ent class from themselves. With free trade, on the other hand, it would not be long before we would have upper and lower classes. The capitalist would retain his capital, but the work ingman would have to choose between work at Eourepean wages or the career of the vagrant and tramp. The rich would wrap their wealth about them, and refuse to risk their money in enterprises made uncertain by "tariff reform," while the poor would have to choose between work ing for the bare requirements of existence or absolute starvation. The workingman would have no chance to rise, for he would have no purchase of accumulated means to assist in self ele vation, while the opportunities for emancipation from ill paid drudgery would be exceedingly rare. He would see no prospect for his children to rise above his own station in life, the legacy of wretchedness would be handed down from father to son, distinctions between rich and poor would become, not transient and ephemeral, as they are to day, but permanent and horeditary. Tho American people would be angli cized and the mission of the mugwump fulfilled. Yes, there is a world of significance in the term "lower classes" which Cleve land's ex-cabinet minister has seen fit to apply to his fellow soverigns of the Amer ican republic, whose protected labor has built up and maintained the industries of the United States. It is a term which will soon have an American meaning if the democratic policy of free trade is to bo carried out and American labor ground down to the level of Europe on the ono sido and Japan and China on tho other. The tendency is already in that direction, owing to the industrial depression and anxiety caused by the prospect of democratic tariff smashing legislation, and unless there shall be a virtual abandonment of that portion of the democratic programme the con dition of those whom Cleveland's adviser calls tho "lower classes" will be low indeed. New York Press. Why Not Investigate? From Minneapolis there comes the account of an invention that promises to be a good thing for communities sit uated as we are here. Something of this same sort, has, we are informed, been in operation for years on the Rhine river in Europe. The invention is a water wheel constructed on so easy and simple a plan by L R Beery that it seems a marvel that it has not been thought of before. "Mr Beery has had the idea in mind for a year and a half past" says the Journal, "but it was only about two months ago that the first machine was completed and set in motion. The present machine was put in place yesterday, and heavy cables used to make it fast to the shore. It is constructed of three boats or floats, made of heavy timbers. These floats are shaped like catamarans, about 18 feet long, 5 feet deep and 12 inches thick placed in parallel positions about 10 feet apart and fastened together by timbera On these boats are placed heavily braced bearings about a foot high, to receive the central shaft on which the paddles revolve. At each side of the central float aro the paddle wheels, which are built on two strongly braced iron frames in the form of equilateral triangles. Each wheel has three paddles, 4 by 8 feet, arranged so that they enter the water alternately, thus giving contin uous power. The central shaft has a largo cog wheel which engages a small hoveled cog wheel by which the number of revolutions is multiplied by 13. Power is transmitted by a grooved pulley on the bevel gear shaft. In the trial made yesterday afternoon under circumstances which were not the most favorable, the paddles made 8; revolutions per minute, making the rev olutions per minute of the power wheel about 120. The amount of horse power is variously estimated at from 10 to 35, according to the speed of the current. The uses to which the wheel and the power obtained can be put are many, but the main idea is to use it in western streams for irrigating purposes and placer mining." Tho machine can be used in any rapid water course, is portable and compara tively inexpensive, while the power can be applied to almost any use desired. Wouldn't it look nice to see one of these machines every few rods on the Loup river, giving us power for factories of all kinds, comparatively free from cost? It is certainly worth investigating by all who use much power. ColumbuB may forge ahead yet, notwithstanding recent defeat, WaHBiastoH Letter. f From our regular correspondent. The administration's friends are to be given an opportunity on the floor of the house and senate to defend the some what remarkable pension policy adopted by Secretary Hoke Smith under Mr. Cleveland's orders. Senator Gallinger has introduced a resolution directing the committee on pensions to investigate and report to the senate whether the wholesale suspension of pensioners, which has been going on for some time at an average of something more than 150 a day is in accordance with the law, and a resolution of a similar nature will be introduced in the house as soon as the house is in a condition to allow its or dinary business to proceed in the ordina ry channels, which will be after the silver question has been disposed of, rules adopted and commitees appointed. As soon as the senate adopts Mr. Gallin ger 's resolution, Secretary Hoke Smith and the commissioner of pensions will both be summoned to testify before the senate pension committee as to recent proceedings. It is regarded as significant that the bill reported by the minority of the sen ate finance committee as a substitute for the Yorhees bill, for the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver law provides for free coinage at a ratio of 20 to 1. This indi cates that the silver senators have given up the idea of insisting upon the free coinage of silver at the present ratio. Speeches from time to time will be made on both of these bills, but it is not prob able that the senate will take them up to the exclusion of other business until after the house has voted upon the silver question, which will be early in next week. The speech of J. C. Sibley, of Pa., was the most conspicuous for several reasons made in the house during the past week. Mr. Sibley is a democrat, a bible reader, a millionaire and a free silver man the only one in congress from the east, and his speech was at times highly sensational. He was not quite as open in his attack upon Pres ident Cleveland as Senator Vest was, but the attack was there all the same. The unconditional repealers now claim a safe majority in both house and senate, but their claim of 45 votes in the senate includes several men whose votes are very doubtful and who are counted by the silver men in every estimate they make. The trouble about getting at what the result will be in the senate arises largely from there being a number of senators who, if they have made up their minds how they will vote, have taken nobody into their confidence. Jerry Simpson dealt tho democrats a heavy blow below the belt when in a silver speech he fired this question at the house, in his rasping exasperating voice: "Whoever heard of the democratic party ever repealing a law or making a law?" Receiving no answer, Jerry glared at the administration group in the house and added: "There is no democratic party any more; it is President Cleveland's party." From which it will be seen that even a man of Jerry's small calibre can sometimes perceive the true in wardness of things democratic. Emerson Spoke from Experience. I was standing with Mr. Emerson once at a college exhibition, where a young man had easily taken the most brilliant honors a young man in whom we were both profoundly interested. It was the first time I ever addressed Mr. Emerson. I congratulated him as I congratulated myself, on the success of our young friend, and he said: "Yes, I did not know he was so fine a fellow. And now, if something will fall out amiss if he should be unpopular with his class, or if his father should fail iu business, or if some other misfortune will befall him all will be well." I was green enough and boy enough to be inwardly indignant at what seemed to me the cynicism of the philosopher. But I did not then know that when he was 8 years old his father had died and that to the penury, shall I say, of those early days to his mother's determination that the boy should be bred at Harvard college, to the careful struggles by which each penny was made to work the mira cles of the broken bread by the sea of Galilee he owed or thought he owed, much of the vigor, the rigor and the man hood of his life. "Good is a good doctor," as he said himself, "but bad is sometimes a better." E. E. Hale's Address. Do not expect congress to fix things at once so that the prosperous times will re turn immediately. The democrats have made pledges as to what they would do with the tariff and that is what is causing us more trouble than anything else. The populists also have proposed radical changes and the business world is thor oughly scared. Confidence must be restored before we see better times. Fullerton News. ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

Actions of a French Poodle Which Had Lot IU liablei. Dog stories, like piscatorial yarns, very often need a grain or two of salt to mako thorn paiatablo, but hero is ono which tho writer can vouch for, in tno Philadelphia Times, as a plain, un varnished tale. For over seven years there has been in tho home of a family living not far from Fort Greene a French poodle which, having been brought to the house when a small puppy, be came a great pet. Like most of her breed, this dog has more than usual amount of canine sagacity tho tricks of Trix for that is name have often entertained tho and her tho friends of her owner. Recently Trix bocamo the mother of two pups. The youngsters did not thrive for somo reason. One lived only a couplo of days and tho other died within a week. It was with some difficulty that the body of the latter could bo taken from the mother, who guarded it jealously and made frantic efforts to regain it when it was being taken away. Her maternal duties having thus come to an end, Trix was again given the freedom of the house, but she did not avail herself of it, as was her wont Instead she sought seclusion under a loungo in the dining-room and rarely left her retreat When she did ven ture forth it was for but a short time. Her conduct remained unexplained, except by the theory that she was mourning her loss. until lately. Then considerable light was thrown upon the subject In tho midst of tho scuftling and scratching which had oc curred at intervals and was attributed to the dog's restlessness a sound in tho form of a faint but rather sharp squeak was heard proceeding from un der tho lounge. An investigation was made at once. It revealed Trix crouching on tho de fensive, growling dofianco at the in vestigator and holding firmlj under her paws a small rubber dog that had been used as a toy by the baby of the house but had been missing for somo time. Incredible as it may appear, tho poodle had taken the toy as a substi tute for her dead offspring and had been cuddling it for days in her re treat under the lounge. The rubber effigy was a very good counterfeit of a young pup and an aperturo caused a cross between a whistlo and a squeak when pressure was applied. It was rthe latter that led to tho discovery of tho queer canino fancy. As there was a certain amount of pathos in tho dog's endeavor to fill tho void caused by death, she wus loft un disturbed in the possession of tho toy. During the afternoon the faint sqeak was heard several times. Whether Trix was pressing the rubber with the idea of giving the inanimate substi tute a greater semblance of life or did it accidentally while caressing the ob ject of her affection is a matter of speculation. At any rate, having been bereft of her pups, she has ap propriated a clover imitation of ono of them and watches it with a vigilance that is rather pathetic. AND LINDLEY MURRAY WEPT. The Toiler Iu a Rastuurint Who Startled an Old Gent. To a Park Row waiter belongs the proud distinction of uttering what is probably the moat ungrammatical sen tenco ovor evolved from the brain of illiterate man. He is a toiler in a restaurant which offers a bill of fare of Spartan simplic ity; so simple, in fact, that tho wait ers memorize it in tho morning and chant it liko a little litany for each new comer. Among tho habitues is a parsimonious old man who breakfasts on beof and potatoes; has tho samo dish for dinner, and sups, by way of chango on potatoes and beef. Ho is very crochety and nono of tho waiters like him. One Saturday afternoon he took his aeat at his usual tablo and gave his usual order to a new and rather case hardened plato-tosser. "Waiter," he piped, as the dishes were slamm'ed down before him, "this beef isn't sufficiently underdone. "' With a smilo of contempt tho servi tor bore the viands back to the kitch en window, and returned a moment later without having changed them. Say. old gent " he hissed through hi? clenched teeth, "we ain't got no beef what's no underdoner!" X. Y. Advei-tjaer, CASH VERSUS SENTIMENT. Any Dog Worth 75 Can B Bought for SIO Down. A stout old man in a gray ulster hailed a Fourth avenuo car at Worth street; says tho New York Tribune. Sne hand was occupied with a rather petuous bulldog on a chain and tho other waved a baggy umbrella. When tho car stopped the man hauled tho bulldog up to the rear platform and said to tho condoctor: "Take a dog on your car?" -No." Me and John William has got to got up town. " "Can't help it; walkin's good," 4 Lot mo ride on the platform and hitch John William onto tho brake." Tho conductor agrcod to this, and John William trotted placidly along up the Bowery ; ithout mishap, be yond upsetting two newsboys. Somehow nobody wantod to get off tho car on John William's side, and people on tho crossings waiting for tho car to pass kindly gavo John William all the room ho wanted. At Seventeenth street however, there was a crosstown car in waiting, and the driver, intent on tho hairbroadth escape of tho rear platform which a crosstown driver loves to make, reck oned without John William, who was pattering calmly along beside tho step. Hey. hey. hold on." called tho old man on the platform, excitedly. But it was too lato; thoro wasn't room be tweon tho crosstown horso and tho Fourth avenuo car for oven the alert John William to pass, and it seemed as if tho dog must be inevitably crushed. John William, however, re garded it otherwise. Ho seemed to know that his only chanco lay in breaking tho chain. So by a quick bound to tho farthest sido of" the cross town horse ho brought tho whole strain upon tho chain across tho horse's chest and snapping his bonds like a string he trotted calmly up Fourth avonue after his master. Well, now, ain't ho a dog?" ejacu lated the conductor aumiringlj-. "There ain't his beat in New York." responded his owner proudly. "Of course there's other dogs hero and there," he added as a great conces sion, "but they simply ain't in it with John William. I wouldn't tako 75 cash for that dog." "Reckon he's worth it" said the conductor. There was another man on the plat form. He looked John William over critically in silence, and two blocks further on he said: "I'll give you $10 for your dog." Mean it?" asked John William's owner anxiouslv. "Certainly."" "Cash; no bluff?" "Of course." -Gosh! He's your dorg. ' BUZZARD DANCINO. Only Two Pcrsoni In Xsw York City Who Can Do It. Not long ago a con spicuous member of an athletic club was discriminat ingly spoken of as "tho only man in town who knows how to danco buz zard." His is not an unique distinc tion; thero is a young woman in town of whom it may bo said sho is tho only woman in town who knows how to dance buzzard, says tho New York Evening Sun. Buzzard is a negro dance, weird, picturesque and oven poetical not withstanding its name. The name, however, has everything to do with tho dance- Tho buzzard is a bird of bad habits. At tho same timo those slow, circling movements, and tho broad. Happing wings of the buzzard in preparing to descend on its prey are graceful and impressive. It is easy to see how these have impressed tho highly imaginative brain of tho nogro as thoy reappoar in the dance. This has an origin as spontaneous, unstudied and natural a3 tho choric danco or the bacchanal. In dancing buzzard tho dancers ad vance, retreat and circle round ono another with both arms oxtended and waving them slowly up and down. Tho feet cross ono another and aro drawn back without leaving tho iloor. The distinction, it may bo observed, between barbarous and civilized dauc ing is just here. In tho dancing of savage tribes, and notably among the Indians, the dancers advance by drag ging their feet backward. In tho dancing of civilized tribes, as shown in tho galop and wait, tho movement, if not directly forward, tends that way. Tho field nogro, man or woman, who dances buzzard, shows tho nicest ob servation of the bird in tho movements of tho head, the scent of tho prey, and guard against outside attack, "it is pantomime rythmical and dramatic. The superficial imitator can only suggest theso broadly, h&ving mas tered the step, which is really difficult The only woman who can danco buzzard in this city ties a pieco of cot ton sacking around her, wraps a tur ban around her head, smooths her face and leaves her shoes aflap. ex cept for ono stout Knot Tins is to give local color. "John nie, Get Your Gun"1 is a good enough tune, whsitled. sung or played, but is greatly aided by clapping the hands, or a species of juba patting. That dancing buzzard lacks some of the graceful accessories of skirt dancing and of the Delsartean movements must bo admitted. It is by no means dovoid of grace, however, and has a sort of kinship with primal things that has its own fascination. Break It Gently. Uncle Do you really think, doctor, that I am improved? Doctor I guarantee your lifo for somo time to come. Uncle Please break tho news gently to my nephew. Tho poor boy will bo sadly disappointed. Texas Sittings.
