Dan Lauer of Lin coln took place Thursday last, the Masons taking charge. It is rumored that half the business portion of Deadwood, the Black Hills metropolis, was burned Sunday night. TnE United States has fifty-two canals, having a total length of 4,468 miles. China alone excels this country in canal mileage. A rAirrr of patriotic Kentuckians are taking steps to purchase the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln in La Rue county, Kentucky, and convert it into a park. It is now said that the Omaha Bee has been followed by the World-Herald and the Lincoln Journal in the use of typo setting machines. One of these does the work of four or five men. Tnc managers of the Lever woolen mills at Fremont have purchased new machinery. A large number of sheep are being fed near Fremont. Their wool will doubtless be in demand. A monster Newfoundland dog in Chi cago attacked an infant son of Lieuten ant O'Hara, almost tearing it to pieces. Others, who came to the rescue, were also set upon by the dog, which was finally killed. Z. T. WniTE, who hanged Secretary Morton in effigy in Nebraska City, for appointing a republican to the position of meat tagger, was fined $200, and will probablyjnot consider it such a joke as it seemed at first. Gladstone has retired from the pre miership of England and the Queen sum moned Earl Rosebery, who has accepted the position. Parnellites, it is said, will continue to snpport the liberal govern ment on the condition that he will in the strictest sense hold to home rule.

The Cosmo of raising alfalfa. There is no doubt but poKtan Magazine is endVayoring to an- it is a profitable crop to raise in Nebras ka, and there will be a thousand acres of it sown this year, to where there was one last. At List it looks as if the exodus of the negro to Africa is to lie accomplished by the negro himself. Two dollars each is the estimated cost, and it is said there are 100,0(H) ready to go. In a land of their own, and under self-government, they will undoubtedly do letter than they do here. Positive protection for every individ ual in every right, at home and abroad, at public expense, is the true theory of government. Monroe Looking Glass. This is one of the many corollaries of the true theory of government, viz: "hands off from the individual, except when he interferes with the just rights of others." In three words -liberty and order. Tnn election of Galusha A. Grow, the republican nominee, for congressman-at-large from the state of Pennsylvania, by a majority of 187,000, is opening the eyes of many politicians in this country, to the fact that a number of electors who helped place the present administration in power, have changed their minds most decidedly, and purpose making no con cealment of that fact. McKixlev could not have said more in a column and a half than he said in these twenty-one words of his spoech before the Republican clubs of Ohio Tuesday: "The people are tired of this tariff-tinkering, bond-issuing, debt-increasing, treasury-depleting, business paralyzing, wage-reducing, Queen-restoring administration.' No administration was ever better described in fewer words. Peoria Transcript. The county commissioners are making a move in the right direction when they resolve to require of the county treasurer a monthly statement showing the precise amounts of county money held by the different banks that have been designat ed as county depositories. The publica tion of this statement would be a further check upon the power of the treasurer to favor one bank more than another, and would at the same time take the people into the confidence of the county bookkeeping. There is no call for secrecy with the safekeeping of public funds. Omaha Bee. The following extract from a recent "letter from Oregon will be of interest to wool growers: "The democratic party is raising sheol with the whole country. One-half the sheep men in the west are . bankrupt and are only hanging on to see "if the new tariff bill in its present form . becomes a law, in which event the flocks will be fattened and sold to the butchers. With low price for mutton and no price for wool the sheep men cannot payex penses. We live twenty miles from The Dalles, Oregon, which is the wool em porium of the north coast, and I am told by a reliable party there are hundreds of tons of wool stored there which cannot ": lie sold at any price. Nearly every branch of business is flat. Some are praying for better prices, but I think the time and place to pray with best effect is at the . ballot box. We hope to see McKinley tbe next president. God speed the day!" Deauadx Money Dae. At the annual encampttnent of the G. A. R held in Lincoln on Wednesday. D. A. Scoville, commandant of the state soldiers' home at this place, reported that the last legislative appropriation for the support of the soldiers' home was $24,000 less than the appropriation of 1891, for a period of two years each, and $16,000 less than the actual expenses for the two years last preceding. The re port further states: "It is generally be lieved that the home receives aid to an amount equal to $100 per capita annually from the general government, and while this is true in most states maintaining soldiers1 homes, it is not true in Ne braska." By law the governor is made the proper officer to receive money from the United States. The committee to whom this report was referred recommended that steps be taken to secure money that may be due. The home now contains 136 men, twenty-one women, making a total of 157. A very pleasing incident which occur red during the meeting, is related by Col. Geo. P. Dean. Six old army nurses made their appearance among the boys and were accorded a reception such as almost raised the roof of the building. The ladies were aged and infirm, with hair as white as snow. One of them, de crepit with age and physical infirmities, had a quilt that she had made of red, white and blue colored cloth, to be do nated to the soldiers' home at this place. It was mentioned that the pittance of ten cents paid to the old lady would recompense her for working the name of the doner into the covering. In a trice $28 were raised and she will have 280 names to inscribe with her needle if she is not mustered out before it is complet ed. Grand Island Times. According to the Chicago Tribune the present valuation of church property in the United States is $475,000,000. This property is exempt from taxation. If it were taxed, and if we suppose the aver age tax rate to be two per cent, and we believe it to be higher than that, it would produce $9,500,000. Nine millions of dollars! Only thiuk of it! And this is the sum of money which in this country that boasts of a separation of church and state, the people are annually forced by the state to contribute to the sup port of the church. For, if this property were taxed, it is easy to be seen that the people would have to pay that much less. Church property should be taxed. To a man in his ungenerate state, it would look as though the churches and church people were not living up to the doctrines of the sermon on the mount to any particular extent. With all those 475 millions before him, he would natu rally conclude that no matter about their treasures in heaven they were cer tainly laying up treasures on earth in a very thrifty and ungodly manner. How would it do if these people should just now proceed to put in practice the scrip tural injunction of selling all they have and giving to the poor? We would not ask them to 6ell all, but if they would only dispose of a few of their surplus millions in that manner, it would do very well just for the present. Preaching and practice don't always go together. Sil ver Creek Times. swer this inquiry by printing a list from month to month in its contents pages.

H. SchelT How this iff done for $1.50 a year, the editors of The Cosmo politan alone know. Rev. Butler of Omaha is credited with saying recently that "a private school is as treacherous to American in stitutions as a private mint." While we do believe that the public free school, properly conducted, is one of the most potent factors in the preservation of our liberties, it must not for a moment be allowed that machinery of any kind, however complicated and precious, can take the place of the motive power, whose instrument it is. Even in matters of learning it is not so much a question of Where? but What? As to one phase of Rev. Butler's callow sentence the Omaha World Herald says: "In your efforts to escape from imag inary tyranny, Mr. Butler, you are mak ing a tyrant out of republican institu tions. We are free to do as we think best here, reverend sir. We may study where we please and what we "please, think what we please, worship as we please, by the grace of God and the American constitution. And over us shall be no czar. You may talk of American liberties, Mr. Butler, but American liberty is not assured until we are free to refuse to accept the tenders offered us by the state of a particular and regulated education. We must have the right of election. And you can do only harm to those you would fain ground in patriotism, if you insist upon specific courses of action. It is human nature to revolt against coercion. And a reaction will as certainly follow ex treme views as fever follows chill. It is a law of nature that it should do so." A Pointer. "Great things come out of Kansas," is a common-place saying, and certainly the climate or something down there seems prolific in expedients for bettering the world. At a meeting of the farmers' alliance in Topeka Friday the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That the time has now arrived in the history of the republic when we need a new, national co-operative system of industry that shall furnish remunerative employment to every able bodied citizen." "Senatob Oblakdo Tekft, of Cass county, is mentioned as a possible candi date for the governorship this fall. Sen ator Teff t is one of the clean and brainy men of the republican party in Nebraska, and withal as full of sense as an egg is of meat He is a real fanner who culti vates the soil and monkeys with politics betimes. If the wheel of fortune should turn him out as a candidate he would be one that all good men could support with enthusiasm. He would be a sort of a new deal in state politics and this would be welcomed by a good many members of the grand old party." The above from the Fremont Tribune finds an echo here. Orlando Tefft is one among a thousand of the public men whose motive of action is found in a strong desire to do right by his fellow men; aside from this, he is a man of ex cellent judgment, and has had consider able experience as a legislator. We could vote for Mr. Tefft for governor with enthusiasm. College boys will be boys. Very true; but that is no reason they should grow up criminals, says the Inter Ocean. Yery true. Many an American lad has been subjected to indignities at West Point, for instance, whose tormentors should have been made to suffer for their misdeeds, and it has been a shame all along that our people have tolerated such a state of affairs. There is nothing manly, nothing courageous or gentle manly about hazing, and the American people should put their foot down upon it so hard that hereafter the rowdy ruffians who torment younger students shall pay very dearly for their supposed fun.

Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas toria is tho Children's Panacea the Mother's Friend. Castoria. "Castoria Is on excellent medicine for chil dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good effect upon their children." Da. G. C. Osgood, Lowell, Mass. Castori Is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is cot far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria. in tead of the Tariousqoack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agenta down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graTes."
