After reading some of the paiers in
regard to Senator E. J. Burkett's
action? in congress and then read what
ex-President Hoosevelt and Senator
Dolliver, two of the greatest progress
ive men in the United States, have to
say in behalf of Senator Unrkett, one
can draw his own conclusions that the
senator has been greatly misrepresent
ed and that he has been working all
the time for his constituents in Ne
braska. Alexandria Argus.
Senator Korris Uiown, in a speech
at David City last Saturday, showed
up the great interest that ( Jilhert M.
Hitchcock, the democratic nominee
for the U. S. senate, had in the cause
of the people when important measures
were before the recent congress. Mr.
Hitchcock, who is an aristocrat and
silk stocking, kid glove sort of a fellow,
it appears, was in Europe having a
good time at the people's excuse
when our present senator, E. J. Bur
kett, was voting for the McCumber
amendment to the tariff bill, which
put lumber on the free list Senator
Brown showed by the Congressional
Record and the roll calls made in the
senate that Senator Burkett had voted
with LaFollette, Bristow, Cummins
and Dolliver on all of the amendments
that were offered by the progressives
to the tariff bill, while the same was
under consideration. That when Bur
kett was voting for the amendment
offered by McCumber putting lumber
on the free list, Congressman Hitch
cock, who is now a candidate for sena
tor, was in Europe spending the salary
paid him by the people to represent
them in congress. Pierce Call.
A BLANK SPACE.
At the head of this column appears
the democratic ticket. It will be
noticed that wc do not print the name
of the democratic nominee for United
States senator.
For more than twenty-five years the
editor "of the Telegram has been doing
his part in promoting the democratic
cause in Nebraska. We admit that
sometimes we have supported demo
cratic candidates not as good as they
might have been, whose personality
was not pleasing to the editor, but in
such cases we placed party duty above
personal feeling.
But now we are face to face with a
situation in which duty as a citizen
demands that duty as a partisan must
take a back seat. We dare not sup
port G. M. Hitchcock, the democratic
nominee for the United States senate.
Our opposition is not personal. We
entertain no sentiment of ill will
toward the man, personal!', nor in
deed toward any man. We shall
oppose his election because of his bad
record in dealing with a public matter.
That record is so bad that it will pre
vent him from receiving the vote of
any Nebraskau who knows the record.
We have been hoping that Mr.
Hitchcock would withdraw from the
ticket, and thus forbid the necessity of
a public discussion of his record, which
discussion might injure the deserving
candidates on the democratic ticket
It shall not be our part to make public
the hideous details concerning the
record of Mr. Hitchcock's dealings in
this matter of state. Perhaps the
record may not be made public daring
the campaign. But, having knowl
edge of that record, the Telegram, in
the exercise of a sacred duty toward
the cause of good citizenship, must
decline to support Mr. Hitchcock.
We are aware that this action on
our part will bring down upon our
head the clubs of some democratic
editors who hold duty to the party
higher than duty to the state. We
have taken everything into consideia
tion. We yield to the call of a public
duty, no matter how serious may be
the effect upon the Telegram and its
editor. We ask no man's sympathy
in this fight, if he should believe that
our opposition to Mr. Hitchcock is
personal, but we do ask the sympathy
of every man who places the duty of
the citizen higher than the duty of the
partisan. We know that when the
men of Nebraska shall know the record
as we know it, they will desert the
cause of the candidate as rats desert an
unseawortlry ship. Some will ask
why we do not make public the record.
We reply that we do not have permis
sion to make it public at this time.
We received the story and the proof
of it under the seal of secrecy. Per
haps the seal may be broken tomorrow
perhaps next week perhaps the
week following.
Perhaps Mr. Hitchcock may notify
the state committee that he has with
drawn from the ticket, and then it will
not lie necessary to publish the shame
fill story. Columbus Telegram.
FOUR OF A KIND.
Four favorite sons have thus far
been entered in the democratic free for
all presidential race nearly two years
in advance. Ohio has its Harmon,
Texas has its Bailey, Georgia its
Smith, Missouri its Folk. And still
there are more to come. New York
is sure to bring out Gaynor, Indiana
may project Marshall, New Jersey is
likely to liack Woodrow Wilson,
should he win for governor, and Illi
nois, if it can split its affection between
Carter Harrison and J. Ham Lewis,
may yet be in the race for old time's
sake. Besides all these, Missouri,
should David R. Francis win out for
senator, is likely to have two favorite
son candidates.
It is of interest to note these facts
just now while democrats are talking
about harmony. But why talk, do not
these facts speak for themselves? Is
there need for anyone to argue that
harmony reirus with this array of
ambitious favorite sens before him?
And the national campaign is yet
two years ofil How many candidates
there will be by 1112 is beyond the
ken of any man to determine. If the
leaven of harmony keeps up its work
it may raise a score of them. But
should the number of entries lie kept
down to the present there would be
enough to make an interesting race.
Say, for instance, that only Harmon,
Bailey, Smith, Folk and Gaynor en
tered the preliminaries for the nomina
tion; there is one eastern man, Gaynor;
two middle western men, Harmon and
Folk, and three southern men, Folk,
Smith and Bailey. Where is the seer
who would like to undertake the task
of forecasting the result of figuring out
the alignment between the five aspir
ants? Harmony, indeed! And thus early
in the campaign, too. No wonder
democratic editors and orators are
anxious to divert attention to the re
publicans. Omaha Bee.
A PROPHECY BY LINCOLN.
There are not many people who
know that President Abraham Lin
coln looked into the future during the
Civil War and prophesied that the
next generation following him would
see the initiative and referendum
adopted by every state in the Union.
This is the statement of A. H. McCor
mick, a member of the last legislature
from Crawford county, Kansas, and
republican nominee for reelection.
"I heard President Lincoln tell
General Grant and General Meade
that the initiative and referendum was
bound to become universal in the
United States." said Mr. McCormick.
"I was a Union soldier. Just a short
time before the breaking of the rebel
lines in front of Petersburg, President
Abraham Lincoln visited Gen. Grant
at City Point on the James river. At
that time I was crippled in the left
arm by a musket shot and was detailed
as mail agent for the Second Corps. I
frequently made trips from the front
to City Point One day General De
Fobriann gave me a letter and ordered
me to deliver it to General Meade.
He asked for a reply. When I enter
ed General Meade's tent I found with
him General Grant and President
Lincoln and two other officers. They
had evidently been talking earnestly
about Switzerland. They stopped
when I entered the tent I presented I
my letter to General Meade. He read
it and said:
" 'Tell the general yes." '
"I was about to withdraw when a
sudden thunder shower burst Gen
eral Meade turned to me and said:
'Soldier, ait down and wait for the rain
to quit' I sat on a camp stool in
rather a dark corner of the tent
Apparently not noticing my presence
President Lincoln continued the con
versation evidently where he had left
off when I came in. Turning to Gen
eral Grant, he said:
" 'General, the day will come, but it
will not be in your day or mine, when
every state in this Union will have the
initiative and referendum. When
that day comes the people will rule,
the people will rule.' As he said this
he brought his fist down on the table
with such vehemence that he over
turned the ink bottle. I knew short
hand. I sat there and took the con
versation as it was given. When I
returned to my camp I made two
copies of President Lincoln's remarks.
I sent one copy home and kept the
other. I carried it in my family Bible.
I still have it
"It was many years after before I
realized what President Lincoln had
meant by the initiative and referen
dum. I became an advocate of the
principle. It was I who introduced in
the last house Concurrent Resolution
No. 2. This called for the initiative
and referendum. It was lost I int
tend to try again this winter if I am
sent back to the house."
ARKANSAS, A REVERIE.
The years have flown swiftly since
the old Arkansas traveler days, and
on the site of the "squatter's" cabin
there towers a college, and on the
banks of the Thames ripe lawyers
read the decisions rendered by the son
of the boy that sat in the ashhopper
listening in wonder to old Faulkner's
fiddle. One by oue the old-timers, in
dividualism underscored with a heavy
stroke, have dropped out, giving place
to cultivation and the art of liuguistic
skill, and with Dryden I am constrain
ed to believe that "what we gained in
-kill we lost in strength."
For romance, poetry and heroic men
in every age have turned to the past,
but in Arkansas romance and charact
ers were contemporaneous. 1 he cot
ton field in bloom, the melancholy cy
press, brooding sentinel over the
dreamy waters of the bayou, the joy
ous mocking bird worshiping a sunrise
which he himself had "melodied," the
song of the negroes, away off some
where, chimes from the lielfry of happy
souls; the quaint old planter, sitting
on his veranda, humorous under a
mortgage, calling out to passersby:
"What's your hurry out there? Get
down, come in and pay your respects
to the ladies while I make you the
finest julep you ever smacked your
mouth over, sir." Where stood his
rambling old house now stands a cot
ton mill. Do you see that dead apple
tree, the only remaining relic of an
orchard away over yonder on the hill?
Beneath its decaying boughs the old
man bleeps. And do you hear those
men laughing out there in that auto
mobile? The grandson has just repeated one
of the old fellow's stories. The young
man has returned from the state uni
versity. He knows Ovid and can
splutter Pindar, hut he has no imag
ination. The old man was the troub
adour; the young chap is only an
elocutionist I recall oue night at a
neighltoring reception given in honor
of a foppish poet whose fame, native
in Vicksburg, stretched thinly up and
down the Mississippi. Among the
guests was the old man who now sleeps
beneath the dead apple tree. Sopho
mores would not have accepted him as
a scholar, hut philosophers would have
looked upon him as one of their guild.
He did not kuow many books, but
among those of his intimate acquaint
ance were Swift, Fielding and Shakes
peare. The river poet resented his
literary opinions, expressed surely with
mildness and decorum, and turning
upon the old man snarled at him.
"Colonel," he said with a sneer,
"perhaps you don't know as much
alout such matters as I do."
"Ah, as much as you think you do."
"Think I do! Old man, I have
written more poems than you eyer
read."
"Yes, you have written more poems
than anybody ever read." (Opie
Read in National Magazine.)
TIMOTHY WEBSTER, SPY.
Allan Pinkerton, under the nom de
querrc "Maj. . J. Allen," organized
and commanded the first military se
cret service of the Federal armv.
Timothy Webster, without question,
followed his chief and former employ
er into the new field; within a few
days he had begun one of the most
remarkable careers of which there is
record in that remarkable service.
Almost from the first he occupied that
most dangerous position known in
warfare, the double spy, the man who
serves two masters, who carries water
on both shoulders. He served the
South with the knowledge of the North
he gave that he might in greater
measure take; he betrayed, with per
mission, the Federal government in
little things, in order that his oppor
tunities in the Confederacy might be
form more complete betrayal. He
was all things to all Southern men
an actor of a thousand roles; unerring
ly he read character almost at a glance
shrewdly chose his role his bait as
an angler selects his fly from the many
in his fly book, and cunningly made
his cast of that personality which bid
fair to entice his quarry into trustful
ness; wherever he would he hooked
his man.
In Alabama they would have made
him colonel of a regiment; in Balti
more he was a member of the "Knights
of Liberty;" Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia, Mary
land he was known to the foremost
citizens of the principal cities, and to
the commanding officers of camps and
fortifications and armies, as an ardent
Confederate who was doing inqiortant
work for the cause; until at last as his
position strengthened and as those
persons who vouched for him were
men of greater influence, he became a
trusted emissary of the Confederate
War Department in Richmond. There
was no more daugerous Union spy
within the Confederacy.
His connection with the Lincoln as
sassination conspirators was the chief,
almost the sole, means of accomplish
ing this result For the most part the
members of the plot were men of posi
tion and of wide acquaintance through
out the South; and Webster, who was
believed to have fled to avoid arrest,
as had many of the others, now went
to those of his fellow conspirators who
had returned to Perrymansville and
Baltimore. He did not ask for their
help instead:
"I am going to attempt to get South,'
said he; "perhaps I can do you some
favor there at least carry letters to
where they may be safely posted; per
haps bring others back to you."
And they gladly gave him letters to
be posted, or to be delivered in person
in those cities to which he was going
letters that in efTect said, "Open se
same this, our friend, is already prov
ed." And the Confederates of Mem
phis and BowlingGreenaud Louisville,
Mobile and Nashville, aud later of
Richmond itself, welcomed hin:, and
he charmed them until he was intro
duced among their friends, and loaded
down with letters to be delivered when
he should go north again. He was
working within a circle, operating an
endless chain; it seems very simple
credentials for any time or place!
But all these letters, whether going
South or coming North, stopped in
transit at the headquarters of Allan
Pinkerton, and were read, and their
contents copied, before being resealed
and allowed to continue on their
journey. There was no limit to his
capacity for gaining information for
the Union. Yet each trip that he
made was like a cumulative poison
only a question of repetition to result
in certain death.
Timothy Webster served the Union
for just twelve months; and the re
cord of each month would in itself
furnish ample material for an entire
story.
In a Pennsylvania city Pittsburg
he was mistaken for a Confederate
spy and nearly lynched by a hot-headed
mob, from which he was saved only
by the opportune arrival of Allan
Pinkerton. Together, backed against
the wall, with drawn revolvers, they
held off the mob, until the chief of
H)lice rescued and identified them.
In Tennessee, on his very first trip
into the Confederacy, he incurred the
suspicion of a member of a committee
of safety of which each community
was well supplied to investigate and
question strangers. He was "shadow-
ed" from city to city; and at last .took
a train for Chattanooga, though he
did not wish to go there; he dared not
start North until the man had lieen
disposed of. It almost seemed as
though his mind had been read; the
man he had entered the same car
with Webster was now for the first
time in company with another. The
train had gone but a few miles when a
lady came and sat down beside Web
ster. Presently, without looking at
him, she whispered: "I am no enemy
to a Union man. I have overheard
two men say that if you try to go
North they will 'get' you; they believe
you are a Yankee spy." He whisper
ed his thanks, but she did not speak
to him again. At a way-station he
got off and walked up and down be
side the train. The two men also got
off, and he felt them stealthily watch
ing. v-
"Conductor," he said, in a loud
voice, "tell me a good hotel in Hum
boldt; I must stop there several days."
The train reached Humboldt in a
deluge of rain. Webster and those
passengers alighting there scurried for
the shelter of the station; almost at the
door there stood a heap of baggage
and Webster darted behind it; he saw
his men, blinded by the dashing rain,
and certain that he was ahead of them
ran across the street into the hotel.
He had intended to take his old train
the moment it should start, but when
it was about to pull out a northbound
train arrived aad when it left Hum
boldt for the North Timothy Webster
was on board. He never saw the two
men again. William G. Beymer in

QUEER NATURAL HISTORY.
Some Curieus Eighteenth Century De
scriptions ef Animals.
Some curious speclmcnts of folklore
and natural history are contained in a
rare book called "The Sportsman's
Dictionary," which was published to
ward the end of the eighteenth cen
tury. The author was evidently a
Philistine among Philistines in bis at
titude toward nature.
Of the master musician, the black
bird, he says:
"This bird Is known by all persona
and Is better to be eaten than kept
being much sweeter to the palate
when dead and well roasted than to
the car while living; sings about three
months in the year, or four at most
though his song Is worth nothing, but
If he be tanght to whistle he Is of
some value, being very loud, though
coarse."
And here is a story of the squirrel
with the ring In it of the seventeenth
even more than the eighteenth cen
tury. It reminds one of the hares of
Izaak Walton, that changed their sex
es once a year:
"If what is reported of them be true
the admirable cunning of the squirrel
appears in her (where we commonly
use 'his when the sex need not be
specified our ancestors often used
'her) swimming or passing over a riv
er, for when she is constrained by
hunger so to do she seeks out some
rind or small bark of a tree, which she
sets upon the water and then goes Into
It, and, holding up her tail like a sail,
lets the wind drive her to the other
side and carries meat In her mouth
to prevent being famished by the
length of the voyage."
Of the wild boar we have this: "And
what place soever he bites, whether
man or dog, the heat of his teeth causes
Inflammation in the wound. If there
fore he does but touch the hair of a
dog he burns off nay, huntsmen have
tried the heat of his teeth by laying
hairs on them as soon as he was dead,
and they have shriveled up as If touch
ed with a hot iron."
WIND AND NERVES.
Effects
of Breezes From the
East,
West and Northwest.
The east winds hug the earth close
ly and gather moisture, dust and bac
teria. They are cold and humid, al
together forming an enervating influ
ence on human ami animal life and
rendering it susceptible to the disease
germs which the winds carry and dis
seminate. The coal, pure northwest winds
come from a region of dry, highly
electrified air where ozone exists in
comparatively large quantities. They
are invigorating. The framework of
nerves in the human being is like
a delicate electrical apparatus, the
nerves being the wires and the brain
and ganglia receiving and distributing
centers.
Every one knows that a telephone
works better on a clear, dry day than
on a wet. muggy one. The moist at
mosphere lessens vitality. The nerve
wires grow flaccid and heavy. The
messages become confused. Ilenco
low spirits, melancholia, distorted
mental outlook, faulty assimilation,
and disease.
The opposite effects &ovr from the
northwest winds. The west and
northwest winds keep the mucous
membranes of the body in good work
ing order. The coating of moisture
which is always present with the cast
wind disappears. Absence of any
wind if long continued has a bad ef
fect on the human body and mind.
A prolonged calm means lack of ven
tilation on a great scale. The winds
serve to mix In normal proportions
the gases which compose the atmo
sphere, and in this way they are con
ducive to health up to a certain point
Beyond about twenty miles an hour
their influence begins to be unfavor
able. Chicago Tribune.
Dropped In on the Bears.
The removing of the polar bears at
the zoo recalls that some years back
a visitor dronned in on these bears.
A hat fell into the pit. and its owner
at once jumped in after it. He alight
ed on a bear who was enjoying a doze
In the sun. The bear made him wel
come. It seized him by the shoulder
and waltzed htm round and round.
Luckily the visitor kept his feet until
a keeper opened a side door and pulled
him into safety. But the hat was left
behind. On the. following day the man
sent to the society a letter in which he
claimed the cost of a new hat Lon

A Vicious Fish.
In South America there Is a small
fish that not only attacks its fellows of
the sea and river, but is greatrjr dread
ed by the natives, who during certain
seasons have to ford the streams in
which the carbitos arc-found. Bathers
are often attacked by tbem. the sharp,
chisel shaped teeth taking a bit from

are perfect .scavengers, eating the ani

Many Materials and Products Which

There are many materials, operations
and products whteb require special
atmospheric conditions for advanta

cipal among such operations Is the
manufacture of textiles, perhaps the

the Lancashire district of Englaad the
natural climate affords working con
ditions equaled In America only on oc
casional days In certain localities.
Even in England, however, there are
many days In which the atmosphere is
too dry for the best work.
Since textile fibers are increased In
strength and elasticity by high humid
ity and moderately high temperature,
breakages are less frequent under
proper conditions, and the output is in
creased. But even before the fiber
