KxccAflJvo It ib the habit of the American people - plo to'carry their attentions to public" rnon who have boon exceptionally hon ored to nn extravagant excess. A great many examples of this could bo cited , but they are familiar to nil intelligent observers. Wo nro n curious nnd an en thusiastic people , nnd as soon as n citi zen is olevalod into uncommon promi nence there is a rush from all quarters to see him , and to attest the popular pleasure at his elevation. If the object of this adoration were permitted simply to oxhlblthtmsolf nnd receive.tho plaud its of the people who dcslro to manifest their respect the Amer ican habit would bo productive of comparatively little hardship , but this will not satisfytho * average citizen of the republic. The principles of equality must bo recognized , nnd the recipient of popular favor is required to shako hands with everybody who calls on him , in order to show that ho Is ono of the people. This practice may become - como n positive cruelty to the Individ ual subjected to it , nnd is always more or loss a hardship. It makes n heavy drain upon the physical vitality of a man to bo required day after dny for weeks or oven months to shako hands with hundreds of people , and then there are other objections to it , But the public man who should decline to do it > o long as ho could stand up and had enough strength to optm nnd close his hand would bo sure to suitor In pop ularity. On moro than ono occasion General Grant was compelled from sheer exhaustion to decline handshak ing.Tho The attentions that have crowded upon General Harrison since his nomi nation made him ill , and now that ho is recovering ho must face the prospect ot having to go through an oven severer ordoil , If the many political clubs that desire to visit him carry out their pur pose. It is about nil that a healthy man can do at this season of the year to keep his vitality up to the standard without any extraordinary demands upon it , and there are not many men of much greater physical strength than General Harrifcon who could have gone through with what ho has already experienced without giving out. Ho should bo permitted to rest nt least until cooler weather comes , nnd if the curious nnd enthusiastic will not lot him rest at his homo , whore doubtless ho would prefer to remain , ho will do wisely to go to some out-of-the-way retreat whore ho can have the oppor tunity to recuperate. It is undoubtedly gratifying to a candidate to receive popular attention , and General Harri son has been favored in this respect tea a notable extent. Mentor , the homo oi Garfield , was not moro of n political Mecca in 1880 than has Indianapolis boon since the nomination of Harrison. There is in this an augury which re publicans will note with great satis faction. But it is of the highest im portance that the candidate shall be allowed to got well and remain so , and to this end a cessation of the demands upon his vitality and his hospitality is absolutely necessary. To Hoiiow tlio Inquiry. The committee on manufactures o ! the house of representatives , which was charged with an investigation of trusts nnd other combinations , proceeded as far in the discharge of its duty as tc take testimony regarding the Standard oil and sugar trusts , and there dropped the matter. A number of times the re port of the committee as to what it had done has been asked for in the house but every such inquiry has boon mot bj some excuse for delay. Finally resolu tions were passed last wookcalling upor the committee for a report of its work with.or without recommendations. Ir addition to this the senate adoptet a resolution , offered by Mi- Sherman , directing the financi committee to report a measure to "con trol , restrain or prohibit _ nil arrange ments , contracts , agreements , trusts 01 combinations that tend to prevent frei competition in dealing in nrticlcs of do mestic growth 01-production , or imported od from abroad , or that tend to foste monopoly or advance artificially the cos to consumers of necessary articles o human life. " Under the instigation of those rcsolu lions the committee aroused itself am now proposes to soon outer upon an in vostigatlon of the whisky trust , vmil the report of - what it has don in this special line of dut is expected to be forthcon : ing. But the question is , wh did the comraittoo drop it labors in this direction when nc half finished , and why has it withhol from the house nnd from the countr information that should have been givb In ofllclal form a month or moro age Why has the committee waited to I forced to report and to rcbumo its Inboi by the formal demand' of the housi made after inquiries by members fortli desired information had boon foun futile ? What is the reason for the lei of weeks of valuable time during wbic a great amount of useful informatlc might have boon obtained rogardln other combinations than those invest gated ? There is a mystery aboi the conduct of the committc that needs explanation. As tl : matter stands it is only patural find the explanation in the influence i the combinations. It is a woU-attesti fact that roprcbontntlvcs of tl trusts have not been idle , and it is b liovcd , not without good grounds , tin mon high in the councils of the mnjo : ity of the house have been suspicious intimate with trust managers. A grci deal was promised early in the Bessie respecting legislation for thoregulntU or suppression'of the monopolistic cor blnations , but for some time before tl meeting of the democratic national'co vontion the expressions of hostility ' trusts from domocrntio sources censoi nnd the failure to condon these combinations in the nation platform was one of its most notnb omissions. The committee on manufactures i the house will probably submit its r port of th6 testimony it has taken ar resume the investigation that was c short without any apparent reason , b wo. think it entirely safe to predict th there will be no anti-trust legislath proposed by nny loading democrat at the present session. The indications- ihnt the monopolistic "combines" will have smooth balling for fioino time to conlo , BO far ns nny action by congress can alTcct them. Keep the nondlcrA Out. Nearly every ono of the boodlors and oil-room guzzlers who held seats In the last legislature nro again bidding for public favor nnd actively nt work for rcnominntton. Title BUK serves notice on this class of law-makers that their professions of republicanism will not pass muster with honest republicans at the ballot-box this fall. The more fact thai they are staunch supporters of Harrison and Morton will not condone their dishon esty and betrayal of the people. Republican supremacy in national af fairs \yill not in the least bo endangered by the defeat of venal legislators * The republicans of Nebraska cannot af ford to load themselves down with men who go to the legislature to sell out their constituents to corporations nijd Jobbers. If those boodlors Imagine that their record of two nnd four years ago has boon forgotten , tlioy will presently dis cover that they are laboring under n delusion. The rank and file of the re publican party in Nebraska do not wear the brass collar and on local issues can not bo dragooned into supporting bood lors , jobbers and corporation tools for the legislature. If any such are foisted on the ticket they will meet with Igno minious defeat. Tnu Now York legislature will con- ' vcno in extra session to-day. The ob ject was not stated in the call of the governor , but the failure to make an appropriation nt the regular session for the subsistence of the convicts in the state prisons is presumed to bo the principal reason for calling an extra session , and is doubtless sufllciont justi fication. Very naturally , however , there is a suspicion that the motive of Governor Hill in convening the legis lature at this time is not solely to pro vide for the most serious omission of the regular session , and some political developments are expected. No ono appears to have any very clear idea as to what these may bo , but the fact that the democratic situation in Now York . does , not assure the ronomination of Hill , and the cer tainty that ho Is extremely anxious to bo'ronomiriatod , give plausibility to the suggestion that ho baa some adroit po litical schema in mind to the wo"k- ing out of which an extra session of'tho legislature at this time is esbon- tial. It may bo , hownvor , that there is an urgency for the prison appropriation that will not permit delay , and that the motive of the governor is misconstrued , simply for the reason that his political methods nro such as to warrant people in suspecting his motives under all cir cumstances. It is not an enviable position for a public man to ( fccupy , as Governor Hill is likely to discover if he shall bo allowed to again ask the suf frages of the people. THE republican state convention is tc be hold on the 23d of August. This if well known to the county central com mittee. Why have no steps yet beer taken to call a county convention and fix the date for primary elections'1 ! Arc wo to have a repetition of the farce ant fraud perpetrated by the connivance o : the committee this spring ? L the call to bo held bad again until within three or four days o the county convention so that the republicans publicans of the country precincts shal bo disfranchised by being kept in ignorance anco of the time nnd place of primaries Such n course repeated nt this time can not fall to arouse just resentment. Ii nearly every county but Douglas con ventlons have boon called and full pub licity has been given to the times am places for holding- primary elections. PIIEPAKATIONS are now being madi by congress for taking the eleventh con BUS of the United States. It will in elude such publications as slmll pertuii to population ; and social statistics ro latlng thereto. In this respect tin forthcoming census will differ some what from the census of 1880.which , b , the way , has'not yet been completed The cost and labor necessary for takini an enumeration of the inhabitants c this country is on a much greater seal than most people imagine. It is esti mated that the population has increase fifteen millions since 1880. The tent census puts the number of people in th United States at fifty million , and th eleventh census will not fall short c sixty-five millions. JOE nnd Jim have resumed thei periodic howl about Jefferson square If Joe and Jim would display publi spirit enough to invest their own monoi or what they can borrow , in building on Sixteenth street , they would bo 01 titled to some consideration. But th : eternal yawp from people who do nothin except as agitators against public in provomonts which do not pay tithings t them ris contractors , is the height ( impudence.

The resolution was put to n vote and was lost. lost.Mr. Mr. Parmaleo arose and asked In hohalf of Mr. Goodman that that gentleman ho excused from attendance on the meeting of the board during his two mouths' European trip. Mr. Morrison got the notion In his head that Mr. Pnrmoleo WiW asking for a leave of absence for ' himself , ana Jumping to his feet ho moved that Mr. Parmoleo bo granted the two mouths' leave of absence. ' The mistake nnd apparent eagerness which Mr. Morrison showed In having Par- inolee away for two mouths , caused the dig- nlllcd board to * unbend In n hearty lit of laughter. Adjournment was taken until next Satur day evening. PA11TING WITH THE PASTOIl. The OoiiKi-cKatlonnllstn Accept the ItcHignntlon of Ucv. Dr. Slicrrlll. The members of the First Congicpational : huich society mot last evening to consider ho notion of Dr. Slicrrlll in insisting upon ho acceptance of the resignation ho placed n the hands of the trustees over nix months ago. General regret was cxpicsscd , but it ivas conceded that the pastor's peremptory request loft no nltoinative. A motion was adopted accepting the doetor's resignation nnd continuing fits salary for the icnmiudcr of the year ISiS , nt $300 n month. Trustee W. O. Taylor eallcd attention to the fact that the church was already in nr- rcnis 8300 In the pastor's salary nnd unless means were provided for raising funds the trustees might bo unable to give the motion effect , although ho knew it expressed the desires of the trustees. Ho thought the so ciety should not lot the trustees struggle with the financial prob lem unaided , and ho felt it would bo a shame to vote Dr. Shcrrill this salary and then not pay it. After some discussion Messrs. William Fleming , II. D. Estnbrook and H.V. . Snow were appointed n commit tee to devise ways and means of insuring the necessary funds , The question of a successor to the present pastor naturally came up , and the following committee on supply was appointed : Mcssis. A. P. Tukey , chairman , P. S. Hlmobaugh , George Hoagland , Mis. Cuinnihis ( ; and Mrs. Hushton. A set of resolutions was adopted cxpi css- Ing the love and respect of the members of the church for their pastor nnd their sincere icprct at losing him. Severn ! of those pres ent at the meeting expressed the hope that Dr. Shorrill would preaoh a farewell sermon. Ono gentleman stated that the doctor expected to preach next Sunday and perhaps the week following. Another said ho had heard the doctor express himself as unable to pi each a formal farewell ser mon , a Dr. Sprniruo , W. F. Allen and C. S. Raymond mend were appointed a committee ot arrange ments for the dedication of the now church building. They were directed to invite Dr. Slierrill to conduct the soi vices on that occa sion. It was stated that the new building will bo used in August , but that the dedica tion may not take place till September er October. Sherninii and Alger. The Kpoc/i. / As to the discussion between General Alger nnel Senator Sherman concerning the buying up of southern delegates at the recent republican national conven tion , no one who understands how dele gates are selected in the various btatcs can doubt that the number of purchas able votes in both parties is pretty largo. General Algcr's statement that , "No votes were purchased for mo , to lily-knowledge and belief , and I nm sure I uhould have known ithad there boon , " ib by no means conclusive. General Alger is nn experienced businessman , nnd nt least a sufliciontly nstuto poli tician t6 undoi'btand that when a would- be standtirel-bcaror hands his friends so many thousand dollars for expenses , ho is not always informed that his money has been devoted to vote-buying or to whisky-buying for the thirsty dele gates. _ _ PARIS. BEGGARS. Some Curious Facts In Regard to Mendicancy in the French Capital. The ceiiHus of Paris beggars , which was taken recently by the prefecture of police has brought to light some curi ous facts respecting mendicancy in this city. It is matter of history of course , that Paris beggars have always been a peculiar sot of people from the days of tee Cour de Miracles to our own , but the guoux scorn to thrive moro than over in the times , when money is made with comparative case and distributed with generous hands. The Paris beggars have , accordingly , grown proapsroub with the ago , and wo are rather far from the days of the genuine rags nnd squalor of Miracle court. The beggar - gar is nowadays well trained in his pro fession. There is tee novice who bogs indiscriminately from door to door , and the "old bird" who only rings the bolls of mansions. The guoux have a direc tory of their own in which the names and addressed of rich philanthropists are given ns well ns the dodges to bo used for unloosening their purfco strings. This is called the "Guide of the Grand Jou , ' ; or "big game , " and costs 0 francs. Thorcs is n smaller volume for potlt- jou , " which gives the addresses of more bourgeois people and only coat 8 francs. These gulden nro carefully compiled , and are qonsantly increased by now ad ditions , each beggar who has discovered n donor selling the name , address , and charitable qualities of the philanthro- piit to the publishers for n frnno or tA\o , Full instructions are given to the man- diennts in the guido-books ns to how they nro to demean themselves before thoio to whom they apply for alms. Kich radicals , they are told , give largely to people who represent them- ' fcolvos' as victims of the reactionaries , or oven to thpso who nllogo themselves to have suilcrcd as communists at the hands of the Versailles government.

How French DuclistH Shoot nt Ench Other With Harmless Pistols. Youth's Companion : A duelwns recently foUght in Paris bo- Avcon two artists , in which ono of the combatants wasklllcd by his adversary's pistol shots. The nffnlr naturally caused an outburst ot horror throughout franco. But it has served to mnke the ) eoplo nsk themselves if it is not time , hat dueling uhould cease. "If the ordinary duel has become so harmless , " says one journal , ' 'that a fatal result causes horror nnd astonish ment , then this means of bottling n quarrel has lost nil its authority. If combatants assume that they nro not jolng to bo hurt , ns they gen orally do , ind all the world is surprised if they are hurt , of what use" can the duel possi bly boV As n matter of fact , a duel with pistols is either atrocious or ridic ulous. " Another journal insists that it has become the custom when gentlemen nio called upon to act ns seconds inn duel , to moot with the seconds on the other side and BO load the pistols that they will carry only about twenty-live paces. The combatants nro then placed thirty paces apart , and all is well. The shots are exchanged , nobody is hurt , and "honor is satis- fled. " The Paris dealers in firearms are said to make it n point , when application is made to thorn for dueling pistols , to teach the seconds various devices for preventing the injury of the principals. They have pistols warranted not to shoot straight , and special cartridges which make plenty of noise but do little damage. A btory is told which illustrates the way in which duelling is regarded by some others than the merciful seconds ends who practice those life-saving tricks. A well known banker of Paris not long ago mot a man about his own ago , who , iu shaking him cordially by the hand , said : "Is it possible , my dear sir , that you do not remember me ? Wo mot at pretty " close quarters once twcnty-flvo "years ago. I am So-nnd-So , with whom you fought a duel with pistols. You re member mo now ! " "So I dot ao Jdo ! " said the banker. "But I had completely forgotten the in cident until you reminded mo of it. " ' 'Indeed ! As for mo , I couldn't forgot it easily I was BO badly scared. Why. I heard your bullet whistle within an inch of my ear. " "My bullet' ? " "Certainly. " "And the pistols were loaded , thcnV" 'Of course. " "Ah , those rascally seconds ! They swore to me that the pistols weren't loaded. Oh dear ! Oh dear ! To think that I might have been killed like n dog ! " And the banker fainted with ngitn- tion merely to think of the danger which ho had run twcnty-fivo years be fore , nnd was carried into an apothe cary's to bo restored. This Wns Forty Years Ago. Cofllns wore very plain , and burial caskets were unknown. Tombstones had longer epitaphs and moro verbose oulogiums inscribed upon them. Eggs were n shilling a dozen nnd but ter wns considered high nt 18 cents a pound. Much of the silver currency , ftps , levies and dollars , wns of Mexican and Spanish coinage. The country retail trade was much bettor , as people could not so easily run to the city by rail. Business letters wore moro volumin ous and formal , and were written in a precise , aound band. There was Now York currency 8s to the dollar and Now England currency Cs to the dollar. The died was more surcharged with grease , the winter breakfast boins usu ally mr.do of salted ham end hot cakes. Dinner was simply a hasty lunch at noon , and little importance wns at tached to the necessity for good diges tion or a period of rest after oatlng. The bank bills were of state banks , and the further west their locality the shakier they woro. Indiana nnd Illi nois bills would barely pass in Now York. Broad was homo made. ColToo was frcshlr ground every morning , and the grlndintr of the family coffee mill was n familial- ' sound hours before the child ren aroio. TJOVO nnd Atlanta ( Ga. ) Constitution : About forty years ngo there was a young lady in Lincoln county who had two sweet hearts , and not being' able to decide be- twoou the two sbo sot out two locust biiahes In the yard , naming ono for each of her lovers , and believing in the old adage : "If he loves mo the bush will grow " and "ncrording to her faith , to it happened unto her. " Ono of tlio bushes very boon withered , but the other flourished and , In the courao of time , she married the gentleman for whom the growing bush was named. They raised u , largo family , who are wull' known throughout several counties and the locust bush f l o grow and mul tiplied. Time has laid bare the spot upon which tlio old dwelling stood , and nothing remains to mnrKthesito of this once happy homo but the locust bushes , of whiolr" there is a complete hedge about ono hundred yaids In length. Tills mnv moan to some a fairy tale , but it is absolutely truo. The lady is n Methodist minister's daughter ami the gentleman a Baptist minister's brother. HtraiKhMl tin n Henf.
