TllKllKltY 1TANW 'A TALK
Prof. Klliott , of the Smithsonian Imti-
lute , says that "ho traveled over every
part of Alaska when it belonged to Rus
sia , and ho is fully convinced there shoulc
bo \ some simple form of government
thoro. Ho first went over Alaska in
1805 , 'flOand ' 07 , in the intfiest of the
Overland Telegraph company , laying
Ihoir wires , selecting stations , etc. Ii
was thought that tlio Atlantic cable
would bo n failure , and the Overland
company proposed to run telegraph wires
overland through Bolirlng'a strait into
Asia and down into the different parts
of Europe. The company spoilt nearly
three millions of dollarn in the work and
laid nine hundred miles of wires. But
it was all deserted when word was re
ceived that the cables .worked success
fully. In IOBS than a year the Indians
throughout Alaska had pulled dowi
every foot of wires , which'thoy tued in
making salmon nets. "
And thereby hangs a talc. I'rof.
Elliot is a little mistaken in his dates ,
but that is not material. The first cable
across tlio Atlantic was laid in 1858 , A
congratulatory message from Queen
toria to President James Buchanan had
hardly Unshod across the Atlantic , when
the cable parted and remained mute
for years. American cloctn'Rians had
grave doubts whether that message was
over received , and nearly nil of them
were pronounced in their opinions that a
submarine circuit of over thrco thousand
miles never could bo worked successfully.
Imbued with this vioirCantnm Bulkloy ,
an eminent telegraph builder , projected
an overland line from America' ] to Europe -
rope by way of Bohring's trails and St.
Petersburg. Captain Bulkloy enlisted
in his scheme the capitalists 'who had
built the Pacific telegraph from Omaha
to San Francisco , nnd who thus expect
ed to control communication between
America and Europe. Ohief among
those wore Joptha II. Wade , of Cleve
land , K/.ra Cornell nnd Hiram Sibloy , of
Now YorkEdward Croighton , of Omaha ,
Brigham Young , of Utah , and Ralston ,
of San Francisco. It was n bold nnd
risky venture , to construct , maintain
and operate a line of telegraph through
British Columbia , Russian America ,
and Siberia , u region that was
inhospitable , unpopulated , nnd having n
polar climate , But there were millions
iu it , if it proved success' '
ful. It will bo remembered Hhat
the charge by the Atlantic cable between
St. John , Newfoundland , and Valontia ,
Ireland , during the first year , woa ono
hundred dollars in gold for any messages
up to ton words , including the address
and signature , and ton dollars for each
additional word. Gold was then at n
premium of 50 to 70 per cent , which
made the charge for n ton-word message
about 3150 , and $15 for each additional
word , in greenback currency. *
The Overland , or rather .Russian , tolo-
praph , as it is called , absorbed about
$1,000,000 , vrhon on the 3d of August ,
1806 , a second Atlantic cable was
finished , and communication between
America "ana Europe was ttiliy cstao-
lishod. This knocked the Russian tele
graph Bohomo higher than Beechor's
"Life of Christ" for a few weeks. But
another break took place in the cable ,
and the doubters in its practical workings
ocamo more than over positive that it
would prove a failure. Fresh supplies *
and additional materials were shipped by
way of Panama to Vati Couver , and
work on the Russian telegraph was
pushed moro vigorously than over , when ,
as Prof. Elliott says , the Atlantic cable
was grappled by the Great Eastern from
tlio depths of the ocean and successfully
spliced. Then the Russian telegraph
schema collapsed.
And thereby hangs another tale. While
the Russian telegraph was being built ,
the section of the overland Pacific tele
graph lines between Omaha' and Salt
Lake Uity was consolidated with the
Western Union , and Joptha n , Wndo ,
its president , became president of the
conaolidatod company with several of his
former partners na directors. When the
Russian telegraph scheme collapsed its
stock became worthless , nnd then the
genius of our telegraph system allowed
itself equal to the emergency. The
Western Union company absorbed the
Russian telegraph and issued $3,000,000
Western Union alosk to take up the
worthless Russian stock. The Russian
telegraph syndicate had frosted their
fingora in tlio polar regions , ' but they
managed to thaw them out. They invested -
vested nbout $1,200,000 in money , for
which they had issued nearly throe times
as much stock , and in the exchange for
Western Union they pocketed nbout ono
hundred per cent on every dollar that
they had invested.
And over since 1807 the people of
the United States have been paying divi
dends on $3,000,000 worthless stock ,
which represents the wires which the
Alaska Indiana are now using for salmon
nets.
Ax Omaha merchant , who considers
himself a prodigy iu devising cheap and
novel advertising achomos , has got up a
combination " crazy-quilt" dodger , with
cards advertising millinery , face pow
ders , hosiery , hair pinH , bustles , liver
pads , fit. Jacob's oil , perfumery , pocket
knives , corkscrews , and other
articles too numerous to ronntion. Several -
v
oral thousand of those artful dodgers have
been potted on telegraph polos. The iu- . ,
vontor and patentee of this original do- , ,
vioo probably thinks that the ladies are to
the habit of hugging the poles. To
make his nchomo moro attractive ho
ought to liang samples of the goods ad or
vertised on the telegraph wires. An
array of female apparel , such as ? hoop
skirts , b'uatlos , stockings , petticoats , hair
iota , waves , curb , waterfalls , bangs , cor- ,
eU , bonnoU , bandboxes , etc. , would ;
moko n novel spectacle , and would draw
immcnso crowds , where the dodgers
olono would not attract a corporal's
guard.

Charity begini at homo , and it covers a
multitude of niiu. In Omaha thcio are
hundreds of poor but deserving families ,
to whom Christina ] will bo the same as
any other day so far ns enjoyment is concerned
corned , unless some friendly hand shall
give to them some little aid and comfort
While the rich are enjoying the great
Christian holiday , the poor will bo Buffer ,
ing , perhaps , from hunger and cold.
Omaha has had a prosperous year , and
our rich men have bccomo richer. They
will not hcsitato to spend money freely in
giving to their fatnilica and immediate
friends costly presents. Thousands ol
dollars will be spent for diamonds ,
jewelry , Bilks and satins by men
who will not think of giving
to the poor oven ono dollar ,
unless they tire asked , Tm : BKB thinks
it proper to remind such men that they
should not forget the poor. Lot them bo
liberal on this occasion. Lot them cover
a multitude uf sins by exercising a practi
cal charity. It ought to bo a pleasure to
the wealthy to aid the poor , and wo believe
liovo that it is n pleasure to a largo number
of our rich men. All that they need ,
perhaps , is a little reminder. Wo ran
easily pick out ono hundred men who
would not misH a hundred dollar dona
tion to the poor , nnd aomo of them could
easily give live hundred dollars.
It will not bo a difficult matter
to find out whore the poor people
ple live. It certain ! } * ought to
afford thu greatest pleasure to n
rich man to send a Christmas turkey to
this family , a load of coal to that family ,
clothes to another , a barrel of flour to a
fourth , and so on , to the extent that lie
can afford. At the same time the chil
dren of the poor ought to receive n few
of the Christmas knick-knacks in their
stockings , and to make a sure thing of it
a new pair of stockings ought to nccom
pany the knick-knacks.
Now is the time to act on this suggos
tion. Bo not delay until Christmas day.
Spend a little time and money at once in
behalf of the poor. Seek out the homes
of the destitute , and so arrange it that
your gifts to them will bo received in
time to make Christinas day for them a
day of joy'with all the world.

Many persons in Omaha and other
Nebraska cities and towns will remember
Prof. Scagor , whoso occupation is get
ting up "Queen Esther" oratorio enter
tainments , on the mutual benefit plan ,
ho , of course , always receiving tho'lion'o
share. JIaving "done" the cities of
Minnesota , Iowa and Nebraska , ho is
now "doing" Colorado. At present ho
is in Denver with his "Queen Esther. "
Ho is mooting with a warm reception
there ; that is to say , they are making it
rather hot for him. His plan of oporat-
has pursued elsewhere. *
This is what the Denver JVfcuv lias to
say : "Professor" Soager , who is run
ning the "Quoen.Esther" show , says that
the : Nciva dislikes him bocouso ho spoke
respectfully of "ox-Governor Hoyt , of
Ohoyenno , who is a republican and a gen
tleman. " This most extraordinary rea
son may be the cause of our esteemed
contemporary's eccentric refusal to admire -
mire "Professor" Scagor , but wo are dis
inclined to believe it. The truth
is that \rhilo x-Govornor Hoyt
may ba a republican , ho
is anything but a gentleman ,
and the " ' "
"Professor's" ardent declaration
that ho is ono will meet with n very cold
reception hero. Ho will bo recollected
by people with a memory for trifles us
the boor who was governor of 'Wyoming
at the time General Grant passed through
Cheyenne on his return from his trip
around the world on eighty , cents. ' A
Colorado delegation wont up to Cheyonuo
to pay their respects to the general then ,
and not only they , but nearly everybody
in Choyonuo and General Grant to boot ,
were thoroughly disgusted with the
niggardly , selfish and contemptible way
they were treated by Hoyt. If the
"Professor" is going to run his show on
the basis of respect for Hoyt ho vrill got
very little support lioro. It will bo much
bettor for him to switch off on another
track. Ho has sat down on this ono.
The Denver Tribune thus speaks of
the professor : A person named Seeker ,
or Sogar , or something like that , has un
dertaken to convince the people of Den
ver that they ought to buy tickets for the
alleged opera of "Queen Esther , " in
order to aid the Homo for the Friendless.
Now , while wo fool very friendly to the
Homo for the Friendless , wo do not
think that the people of Denver ought to
permit themselves to bo duped in this
matter , This person Sogar , or whatever
his name may bo , is mainly intent upon
making money for himself ; ho came here
to fill'his own pockets , not to aid the
friendless , nnd ho will vanish like smoke
when the Queen Esther business is
over. Wo do not blame him for trying
to help himself , but wo do not bofiovo
that the public should bo misled by false
pretenses in this matter. It it quite
certain that if the alleged opera is at
tempted at all , it will bo a very flat and
wearisome execution of music and char
ity. Under the terms of the business ar
rangement it is most unlikely that the
Homo of the Friendless will got a dollar
of the possible receipts , and those who
buy tickets should remember this. Char
ity is sufficiently strained in Denver for
legitimate objects , without making it a
mask for' an ambush of opera , and tlio
person named Hcgar ii not a fit subject
for public aid.
It in quito evident that Prof. Seagor
needs nn organin Denver. When ho in
vades another Colorado town ho ought tenet
not only have an organ , but a monkey to
pick up the hot pennies. Wo half BUS-
poet , however , that Denver is not partial
sacred music , much loss to oratorios
like "Queen Esther. " If ho had como to
Denver oa the manager of a ballot troupe
a slugging combination , hi > would have
been welcomed with open arms by the
entire population. x

"Martin Luther , the Reformer" is the
title of a little volume , written by Julius
Kocstlin , and translated fromthoGorman
by Elizabeth P. Weir. It is published in
neat style by Cassel & Co. , of London ,
Pnrip , and Now York , and is ior sale by
W. T. Seaman , Omaha. Tlio recent 400th
anniversary of Luther makes it of special
interest at this time.
Edward Eggloston continues in The
January Century his series on early
colonial history , with a paper on "Hus
bandry in Colony Times. " In connec
tion with the recent attempts at silk-
culture in the United States , his story of
the trials of the colonists in starting the
industry will bo of interest. Before corn
had boon grown in the Jamestown'settle
ment 3ufliciont to keep away starvation ,
mulbony trees had boon planted , and
tuo culture of silk begun. In almost
every American colony the same osperi
inont was triad , and always with dia
couraging results. Silk was at ono time
believed to bo the long-sought.staple that
should take away the reproach of barrenness -
ness from Now England. Dr , Eggleston

It is rather a matter of congratulation
that the very rich sjnatora are reported
to bo extremely disgusted with the posi
tions assigned them on the committees ol
the senate. They had no sort of pretense
in experience , public service or special
knowledge ) to moro important positions ,
But they scorned to have imagined that
their riches entitled them to some special
consideration , and it is well that this
imagination should bo dispelled. In the
far west it has become so much a matter
of course that the soimtorahips should go
'
to tho' richest men in the state who care
about it that _ an election to the senate
has several times had very much the
appearance of an auction. The senate
has it in its own power to mitigate this
ambition by showing that it is not a plu.
tocraov and that it'applies otherstandards
than that of a banu account in assigning
special duties to its members. The senate
showed when it passed the Thurman-
Edmunds railroad bill that money could
not influence its legislation when the
question was fairly presented. Ithas now
made another and equally needful show
ing that money cannot influence the re
lative standing of its own members.

Funny Story
Hnyee >
New York Commercial Advertiser.
A good story comes from the pension
bureau. Ono of the rules regarding the
filing of applications for a pension re
quires a certificate as to the reputation
and good character of the persons who
are cited in the application as witnesses
of the physicial condition of the appli
cant. A pension claim came from Ohio ,
and "K. B. Hayes" of Fremont , Ohio ,
was the witness as to the alleged facts
sot forth in the document. The papers ,
in the routine of business , were
assigned to a civil service clerk ,
who found there was no cor-
tiGcato attached as to the reputation
pnd good character of the witness B. B.
Hayes. The clerk had never dabbled in
politics , and did not know R. B. Hayes ,
whether his character and reputation
wore good or not ; in fact , had no redol-
loction that such a person had over occu
pied the presidential chair. Accordingly
he returned the papers for a certificate cs
to the character and goad reputation of
K. B. Hayes. The rpply camo.of course ,
and then for the flint time the higher olli-
cials of the pension bureau became
aware of what hid boon done. The
story would not keep , and so has leaked
out.
