Plans are being projected for a dol
lar dinner at Kearney. Wonder who
will respond to the toast, "The Aid
rich Democrats."
Evidently Governor Johnson, of
Minnesota, is something oi a mixer, as
he has announced his intention to take
part in the factional fight among the
democrats of Nebraska.
The Payne-Aldrich Uriff bill as it
now stands is a sham. As a tariff re
duction measure rthe kind of measure
promised by both parties it is worse
than a sham; it is nothing less than a
fraud. And what is more.theleaders who
are responsible for this bill, and have
been telling the President, who is not
a tariff expert, that new schedules rep
resented downward revision on the
necessities of life, now know that the
President knows that this representa
tion is false. Kansas City Times.
Every section has its famous story.
A famous story that is being re-told in
Oregon is about a very rich banker
who got his start by doing work for
the government. His bill was $5,000
and it had to be submitted to congress.
Congress has a habit of cutting its bills
in two. To make allowance for this,
he jumped his bill to $10,000. He
sent the bill to the governor for his
approval. The governor, having also
heard that congress generally appro
priated only half as much as was
asked, jumped it to $20,000. The
bill was then sent to one of the con
gressmen. Being friendly to the con
tractor, he jumped it to $40,000, and
sent it to another Oregon congressman
for his approval. The second congress
man jumped it to $80,000. Congress
allowed the whole $80,000, although
the contractor was entitled to only
$5,000. This is told as a fact in Ore
gon. The man who got the $80,000
got his start on it, and is now a mil
lionaire. Atchison Globe.

These Aldrich democrats represent
fourteen states, all of which, with the
exception of Missouri, Oregon and
Maryland cast their solid electoral
vote for the democratic candidate for
president In Maryland the electoral
vote was divided between vTaft and
Bryan. This leaves Arkansas and
Oklahoma the only democratic states
in the Union that have not repudiated
the tariff plank in the platform adopt
ed by the last national convention of
the democratic party.
What does it mean? It means that
for forty-eight years the democratic
party has been deceiving the people;
it means that the leaders of that party
have gone before the people and plead
ed for a reform they never intended to
enact into law; it means that the Aid
rich idea of robbing the consumer has
been adopted by the solid south with
the exception of Arkansas and Okla
homa; it means that the hold-up policy
of New England and the middle states
has enlarged its sphere of influence; it
means a victory for special interests
and defeat for the consumers.
The corn and wheat producing states
of the middle west and Arkansas and
Oklahoma stand alone in the fight for
genuine taritr reform, lhe senators
who are making a loosing fight to make
good the platform pledge of the repub
lican party represent only eight states
of the Union Idaho, Wisconsin,
North and South Dakota, Minnesota,
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. It is
from these states that the so-called
"insurgents ' come.
Yet, through the gloom of disloyalty
to party trust a glimmering light
appears. If the recent speech of Sec
retary McVeigh is correctly interpre
ted, it means that the man in the
White House will block the game of
New England and the Aldrich demo
crats by vetoing any sham reform
tariff measure passed by congress. If
the president's secretary of the treas
ury correctly represented the senti
ment of his chief on the tariff question,
there is yet some prospect that the
demand of the consumer will receive
consideration.
woman in the land would raise her voice
in protest against a fashion which
threatens with extinction one of the most
beautiful of animate creatures. -
Aigrette planes constitute the wed
ding dress of the several species of white
herons or egret, and are worn only dar
ing the nesting season. The birds are
exceedingly sociable in disposition, and,
when breeding, gather in colonies or
rookeries, often containing hundreds of
pairs.
The plume hnnter, armed, preferably
with a small rifle shoots the parent
birds as they return with food for their
young. The bird falls, the slight report
of the rifle does not alarm other that
soon follow, and within a few days most
of the parents have been killed while the
nestings, lacking their 'care, die of starvation.
The method is simple any boy with a
gnn can become a plume hunter but so
effective that at the present rate of de
struction the herons will soon succumb
to it. A Florida plume hnnter once told
the writer that with two or three assist
ants be had killed 300 egrets in one af
ternoon; another boasted that be and his
party had killed 190,000 birds, mostly
plume birds, during one season.
Having practically exterminated the
egret in Florida, plume hunters have
turned their attention to other parts of
the birds' range, advertising in the local
papers, offering large prices to native
hunters, and organizing expeditions to
explore the coasts and inland marshes,
from our southern boundaries to the
Argentine Republic.
To prevent the killing of birds through
out this great region is obviously impos
sible, and laws which alone prohibit their
destruction are valueless. Until, there
fore, laws are passed forbidding the
wearing of aigrettes, the salvation of the
herons rests solely in woman's hands
Can any humane woman; knowing
these fact, wear in her bonnet thia
White Badge of Cruelty undeniable
evidence of her approval of merciless
slaughter and indescribable sufferings?

A BORDERER IS.

TOLSTOI AND THE NEW LIFE.
ADOPT A SANE PLATFORM.
When the republican state conven
tion assembles to adopt a platform, any
attempt to drag the saloon question
before the convention should be voted
down. The state election this year
will be of a nonpartisan character, and
care should be taken not to commit the
party to county option or state wide
prohibition. The action of the re
publican members of the senate and
house fr-ra Nebraska who have been
fighting for tariff reform against the
Aldrich republicans and the Aldrich
democrats, should be endorsed, and the
record made by the democratic legisla
ture in creating pie counters for the
benefit of place hunters, thus increas
ing the taxes paid by property owners,
should be condemned.
If the convention attempts to en
dorse any of the radical views now en
tertained by the extremists of the
party, there will be danger of defeat
next year when a full set of state offi
cers and a legislature that will name a
successor to Senator Burkett are to be
elected.
THE ALDRICH DEMOCRATS.
Early in the days of the present
session of congress, when the Payne
tariff bill was under discussion in the
house, the statement that a number of
democratic senators would vote as
Aldrich dictated, was hooted at by the
democratic press. But recent events
have verified the prediction made.
There are twenty-one Aldrich demo
crats in the senate who have voted to
uphold and sustain the high tariff idea
of the Rhode Island statesman and
repudiate the platform adopted at the
Denver .convention last summer.
There are thirty-two democrats in the
.- senate representing eighteen states,
which leaves only eleven democrats in
the astei who have had the loyalty to
.wail loyal to their platform.
The democrats who have deserted
their party and gone over to the Aid
rich forces are:
Bsakheeri and Johnston of Alabama.
Taliaferro of Florida.
WHITE BADGE OF CRUELTY.
The "strong-minded" women of
England have for several years been
conducting a campaign for equal suff
rage. .Lately, they have invaded the
parliament building and insisted that
a law be enacted granting them the
right of franchise. In the name of
justice they have gathered on the
streets of London, held meetings and
paraded without obtaining permission
from the authorities. In America the
campaign for female suffrage has been
conducted in a less strenuous manner.
Without ..any apparent effort on the
part of the women theright to go to
the, polls and "vote like a man" has
been granted to .the weaker sex in
Coloradoand Wyoming. What has
been gained in the states named by
granting female suffrage? Nothing!
It is a notorious fact that Colorado is
one of the worst graft ridden states in
the Union, and there is no place in the
country where human life is held so
cheap as in Wyoming. The Journal
does not mean to intimate that the
women are to blame, for only a small
per cent of the female population take
advantage of the law and exercise the
right of franchise. The reforms which
were to have been inaugurated when
equal suffrage was granted have not
been realized.
It is a lamentable fact that while
women have organizations and socie
ties which aim to reform men and
make them better, very little effort
has been made to inaugurate reforms
among women. If the leaders of the
movement to secure the ballot for the
gentler sex in order to use it for the
reformation of the men, would only
turn their attention to the reformation
of their own sex they might accom
plish something. There is a-growiug
demand for reform among the rauks
of the women of America.
Frank M. Chapman, in "Our Dumb
Animals," calls the attention of the
short-haired agitators .who are con
stantly "reforming" the men to the
White Badge of Cruelty adorning the
nats of the agitators. Mr. Chapman
writes:
No form of feather adornment has

herons' plumes. These dainty, graceful
feathers, unlike the distort d akin of
some poor humming; bird or warbler,
carry with them no suggestion of death,

they are placed is wholly ignorant of the
unspeakable cruelty the taking of these
feathers entails. If each plume could
tell its own sad history, every humane
Writer and Humanitarian Describes
How He Sought for and Found
Happiness.
At the time when I had lost all In
terest in my personal, individual life
but had not yet acquired a religious
interest (an Inspiration to the general
good of humanity), I was horrified
by my position. But I found peace
the moment I had found a religious
sentiment impelling me to think of
the good of humanity. In this thought
at the same time, I found full satisfac
tion of my desire for personal happi
ness. The same thing is going on
now, although my former passionate
desire to make mankind happier has
weakened. I am overcome sometimes
by a certain terror as if I stood before
an immense abyss. But the aspiration
to. and the preparation for, a new life
replace the former conditions which
they were born out of; and in them
there is happiness both for the indi
vidual and for all humanity. Prepar.
ing for the new life, I attain at the
same time my former aim, the good
of humanity, more surely than when
this was my only aim. Aspiring to
attain God, aspiring to a purity of di
vine being in myself and in my new
life, I find more assuredly both hap
piness for humanity and for myself.

Nyanza'a "Altogether" Men.
The people inhabiting the settle
ments around Victoria Nyanza will be
probably for a year or sov still a
source of amusement to the excur
sionists whom the Uganda railway
will bring from the east coast of Af
rica to the Victoria Nyanza; for they
will see before them coal black,
handsomely formed negroes and ne-
gresses without a shred of clothing,
though with many adornments in the
way of hippopotamus teeth, bead
necklaces, earrings and leglets of
brass. They are very picturesque as
they strut about the streets in their
innocent nudity, decked with barbaric
ornaments.
The men wear not one earring, but
15.1 Holes are pierced all round the
outer edge of the ear, and In these are
inserted brass fillets, like melon seeds
in shape, to which are attached coarse
blue beads of large size and dull ap
pearance. As the figures thus ex
hibited are usually models for a. sculp
tor, this nudity is blameless, and not'
to be discouraged; moreover, it char
acterizes the most moral people in the
Uganda protectorate. National Geo

The Borderer is a man not born, but
unconsciously to himself, made by his
surroundings and necessities. . He may
have been born on the Chesapeke or
the banks of the Juniata; he may hail
from Lincolnshire or Cork; Far West
ern life will clothe him with a new in
dividuality, make him forget the tastes
and habits' of early life, and transform
him into one of that restless horde of
cosmopolitans who form the crest of the
slow wave of humanity which year by
year creeps toward the setting sun.
The life of the Border is a transitory
one, and fast passing away. The pecu
liarities that belong to life and men
there, when gone in fast advancing civ
ilization, will leave no record of them
selves, even as the backwoodsman
has left none. The frontier has a
language, a religion and a social status
of its own. It has a habit of thought
and action unique, vigorous and not
wanting in the elements which every
where express religion, honor and pa'
thos. The people whose tastes or whose
fates lead them hero have a world
to themselves alone. A world of lone
liness and lost comforts, where cities,
-banks, railroads; theaters, churches and
scandal have not yet come; a world
where births and weddings are few,
funeral ceremonies are short and tears
are nearly unknown. It is a land
where there is so close an affinity be
tween Nature and man that Nature is
an hourly teacher; a land that is solemn
as the sea and where, as upon the sea,
the far blue mists of the horizon bound
the world. The davs. unchanged bv
the ceremonies and observances of civ
ilization, are all alike, each one as mel
ancholy as a Puritan Sabbath. Na
ture is herself, and spreads her feasts
and acts her caprices for her own plea
sure. Acres of flowers, leagues of
beauty, bloom and fade and come
again, unseen by man. Solitary birds
fly lazily by. The animals stare at the
new animal the passing man al
most unscared, and silence is a power.
The ideal Borderer, the type of his
class from Western Kansas to the Rio
Grande, you will find clad in calfskin
boots, with broad brimmed hat worn
askew, aud his nether limbs encased in
fancy cassimeres. There are rings up
on his fingers aud blazing jewels upon
his breast. He is loud and defiant in
dress, manners and general deport
ment He clings with the tenacity of
second nature to the language of 'the
dance house and the brothel. The
happy thought of Colonel Colt, which
has filled more unmarked graves than
the plague and eternally settled more
disputes than all juries, is his constant
and valued companion, and he wears
his rakish hat away upon his oily locks
with the air of the king of all the loaf
ers. But he is not a loafer. He is quar
relsome, jealous in honor and still very
much of a man and a friend to those
who understand him. He makes no
reservation of actual impressions and
thoughts, but iu this he is only unne
cessarily sincere and independent. He
dy," adding any farther pseudonym
which may designate that particular
Irishman. The New Englander glor
ies in the naaae of "Yank," and the
Southerner answers with great alacrity
to the name of "Tennessee" or "Kain
tack' and sometimes to "Pike" or
"Cracker." Thus is rampant demo
cracy made manifest The real names'
of individuals are utterly unknown to
companions who have known them for
years. Any peculiarity of person or
history produces its apt cognomen or
recognition. The man who squints is
"Cockeye" for all time. The lame
man is "Limpy," and the tall man
"Slim Dick." The surprising feature
of this frontier fashion is that these
names are accepted and gloried in.
Indeed, those which are born of some
peculiarity of history are proudly
borne. To be "Buffalo Bill" or
"Fighting Bob" is to be famous.
"Mister" is the designation of a stran
ger, but if a Borderer calls an indivi
ual "mister" after he has known him
a week, he means some fine morning to
kill him unless he changes his opinion
of his merits.
Men become accustomed to all sur
roundings except prison walls, and to
solitude easiest of all. The frontiers
man would smile if you told him his
life was a monotonous one. But want
ing even the newspaper, he is even
more gregarious than other men, and
a companion of some kind, brute in
the want of something human, is
necessary to existence. The dog, dear
as he is to many men everywhere, is
doubly a friend in the wilderness. His
lonesome master sleeps and eats and
talks with him. He may be the
mangiest cur that ever barked. 'No
matter; it is not a country in which to
be particular. There is another ani
mal, which commonly leads a perse
cuted life and dies a violent death
among Christiau people, which here
would find long life and due apprecia
tion. What would not the frontiers
man give for a cat? The most comi
cal comforter of loneliness I ever knew
was a donkey a small specimen that
could be carried in one's arms. As
this long eared, solemn countenanced
little ass stalked about the shanty, in
vestigated the cookery, and even
climbed upon the bed, its jolly master
would sit and hold his sides with
mirth. But the opportunity for com
panionship with his own kind, never
passes unused. There arc nightly
gatherings at every ranch, and the
resource for amusement is usually the
art which is as old as Babel; the art
of story telling. Each man tells of his
own adventures, palming them off for
very truth, and, as every listener
knows, making them as he goes out of
whole cloth. Some of the most out
rageous travesties upon truth ever said
or sung have beguiled the dull hours
of the frontier cabin. The next
resource is the card table, and in min
ing districts the sums which change
hands in a night would startle the
habitues of Saratoga or Baden-Baden.

HOW ARTIFICIAL ICE IS MADE.
New Process Tried and Found Feasible

Locality.
A new process of icemaking was
tried in Germany last winter with
such 'success that it has been sug
gested for those sections of the United
States where; on account of lack of
lakes or rivers, the price of ice is
high. Consul General Guenther or
Frankfort describes the process as fol

"At the top the water escapes over
a rotating disk so that it is dis
tributed evenly in the form of driz
zling rain over the beams of the cover
of both stories. The water drops con
tinually from the beams and is
changed into icicles by the cold win

until they reach from the j top beams
to the beams below, and finally to the
ground floor.
"At a sufficiently low temperature
700 cubic feet of ice can be produced
in a single night from such a frame

Lived with Broken Liver.
With his liver broken in half, Da
vid Martin, a negro, lived for a period
that leading doctors are sure covered
fn.m 15 to 20 years. He died in tho
Metropolitan hospital, New York, a
short time ago, and the amazing fact
that, a usually mortal injury had not
sufficed to kill him was made known
when Dr. O'Hanlon performed an au
topsy in the morgue. The autopsy dis
closed that Martin died from a hem
orrhage of the brain. In pursuing the
autopsy Dr. O'Hanlon found that the
negro's liver was divided, the two seo
tions being joined by a great growth
of connective tissue running directly
across the middle of the liver. This
tissue was one and a half inches thick
and was the result of an injury, it was
determined, received 15 or 20 years
ago. Another striking circumstance
was that the capsule incasing the liver
was not fractured.
