water. There was no fire in the room
at the time. The young girl w.'is pain

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.

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.

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.

gently to my nephew. Tho poor boy
