The Uo'ird of County Commissioners
will picsontly designate the county
roads upon which tne $ loQ,000 voted for
that purpose is to bo expended. They
propose to Improve rontla to the south
and west of the city , beginning nt the
city boundaries and going as far into
the country ns the fund will allow. It
will be seen that this method , though It
is the only ono that can bo depended upon
to glvn equal satisfaction to nil sections
having a common elttlm upon the bene
fits to be derived from the fund , will still
bo open to the objection that the places
most in need of improvement will have
to share equally with those which need
it least. J aoh road improved will bo an
extension ot some tmvod street of the
city , and before any work is done the
street must bo paved to the city limit.
Thus the taxpayers of the city will bo
obliged to pay for paving which would
'not otherwise bo ordered at present ,
and the expenditure of the money voted
for country roads will involve expense
to the Omaha taxpapors which they
have not anticipated. But there does
not scorn to bo any ether course open to
the commissioners. They nrn bound to
mnko such application of the money at
tliolr disposal as will benefit all locali
ties equally , and , therefore , they can
divide it around in no ether way than
the ono proposed.
There is reason to bollevo that the
Board of County Commissioners will bo
the center of a great deal of attention
on the part of those who own property
on the thoroughfares loading out of the
uity. Property owners Inside of the
city line who will have to bo taxed for
paving out to the line will in many
cases object strenuously to having the
country roads connecting with their
streets selected for tmp-ovomont , while
those outside of the line on the bnino
thoroughfares will decidedly favor such
selection. There will 1)3 a clashing of
intori'sts that will expose the commis
sioners to a cross-lire of arguments and
appeals , but they will Irwo to turn a deaf
oar to everything of that kind and do
what seems best for all coniiornod with
out regard to indiviiUui1 interests. It is
unfortunate , novortholesi. th it the
money cannot bo placed where it is most
needed without reference to equal dis
tribution or to locality.
A XKHHASKA T/f.UJV.
At the last mooting of the Nebraska
Business Men's association a resolution
svns adopted favoring the sending out
this year of another railroid triin to
exhibit the agricultural resources of
Nebraska. The first experiment of this
kind , made last year , was a decided
success. At every stopping ulaeo along
the route taken by the train it was
visited by hundreds of interested neo-
plo. Farmers in the several states
through which the train passed came
many miles to s > oo the exhibit. In
faovoral towns visited the occasion was
made a holiday , the people manifesting
the greatest possible interest in the dis
play. It was undoubtedly the very best
advertisement of the resources and
capabilities of Nebraska over mndo. It
was an object lesson wliich could not
fail to make a convincing and lasting
impression.
It is not too soon to begin considering
the question of sending out another
train , which should perhaps bo more
extensive than that of last year and
would of course pursue a different route.
The promise is most favorable for coed
crops in Nebraska this year , and if this
is realised there will bo no difficulty in
equipping throe or four ears with pro
ducts of the state , and the larger the
display , within practicable limits , the
bettor will bo the impression. The ex
perience of last year demonstrated that
there is no trouble In attracting to an
exhibit of this kind those whom it is de
sirable to interest. The farmers of the
east eagerly avail themselves of an
opportunity to Inspect the products of
the west , and many of thorn h wo al
ready learned that those of Nebraska
are not excelled by the products of any
ether state in the union. It is mani
festly wibO to extend this knowledge as
widely as possible , and the very best
way to do this is by giving eastern farm
ers an object lesson which carries its
own argument as to the capabilities of
Nebraska's hell and climate. It may bo
that the hoped for results will not como
at once , but the seed thus planted will
certainly bear fruit in duo time.
It i ? the Intention of the State Busi
ness Men's association to send out an
exhibition train this year , and it is to
bo hoped the association will moot with
generous encouragement. The exhibit
of last year was a bourco of wonder to
thousands of people in the east who hi > d
very little knowledge of the productions
of this legion. The train to bo sent out
this year , which it is presumed will take
a dilToront route , will interest as many
peopio and perform an equally valuable
service in informing thu people of the
cast as to the splendid agricultural re
sources of Nebraska.
XI'HHAU Or TllK CllOhKll.l.
It is an old question among medical
authorities whether cholera spreads by
communication from indlvidu-tl to indi
vidual or whether it llnd.s its origin in
local conditions. In ether words , au
thorities ditTor as to whether it is
strictly a contagious dlsaase or not ,
The spread of the d'-ond malady in
Europe at present Is so rapid as to sup
port the theory that local conditions
rather than ordinary couLn 'lon are ro-
Hljunslhlu for It. Irt has leaped at a
single bound from Abin into the heart
( if Europe. More than loll deaths from
this cause have already occurred In the
suburbs of Paris , nnd yet it is only a
few tluyu since cholera was reported us
making Its way toward Europe. It is
not pleasant to think of this terrible
dlfoubo becoming prevalent In the gro'tt
European centers of population , for that
may mean tint it la limiting I'H ' way to-
wardoour own country. Already ono
case has boon reported in Cincinnati ,
but whether it IB the genuine oholoni of
Asia something loss dangerous ia yet
to be determined.
At all events , it is evident that Ameri
cans , nnd particularly thoss residing in
cities , cannot be too careful to maintain
the strictest sanitary regulations. The
dlbonso Is generally of a mlnsmtvtio
origin and bad sewerage or olhot conJl-
tlona unfavorable to public health will
certainly encourage its spro.id. The
first of the locont , c.isos In Paris np
ponrcd at n placa on the Seine near
which fifty-two sewers deposited their
contents , In India , the natural homo of
the cholera , the people habitually drink
impure water , and in nil of the cttins of
the oist In which the disaiso has prevailed -
vailed frequently and widely there have
been poor sanitary regulations.
The fact that cholera has generally
followed the natha of eotnmoreo from
east to west scorn ? to indicate that It is
contagious ; but it ia at least the part of
prudence to take precautions against
the conditions upon which it is known
to thrive. This country enjoys no im
munity from its ravages. It 1ms more
than once visited us and brought terror
to the peopio , though Europe has oftener
suffered from it. Every city should take
the best possible sanitary precautions
against the Introduction of this or any
ether disease of similar origin.

There were some things said by Presi
dent Harrison , in his very happy and
most npproprluta address to the Na
tional Educational association nt Sara
toga last Tuesday , which are worthvof
consideration , not nlono by those who
are engaged in educational work , but by
all classes of Hie pooplo. It Is pnrtinont
to say hero that this address was
another notable example of the ease and
readiness with which tiio president
meets every demand upon his intel
lectual resources , showing always not
only an ample fund of information , but a
high order of ability in deducing from it
instructive and suggestive thought. No
occasion has yet found him wanting.
The strength and defense of our in
stitutions , said the president , not only
In peace , but in war , "aro to bo found
in the younli of the land , who have re
ceived from the lips of patriotic
teachers the story of the sacrifice which
our fathers made to establish our civil
institutions , and wliich tliolr sons 1mvo
repeated on hundreds of battlefields. "
It is not , in an org tnizad tinny or in the
militia of the states that the nation is
strong , but "in tint great reserve to bo
found in the instructed young of our
land , who como to its defense in
time of peril. " Schools are es
tablished , said the president , not
simply to give that power that
comes from education , bat togivo it snfo
direction. Therefore wo must insist
that in all our schools the morality of
the ton ( jo in in indments shall be instilled ;
that lessons of duo subordination to
authority shall bo tunerht. "Tho fam
ily and the school are thu beginning of
the fundamental element of good citizen
ship and obedience to law ; a respectable
deference to public authority ; a self-
sacrificing purpose to stand by estab
lished and orderly administration of the
government. "
Undoubtedly thoughts similar to those
have occurred to moit intelligent people
plo , but very few , comparatively , have
an adequate conception of the impor
tance of the vital principles which Pres
ident Harrison sot forth in plain and
" implo language , oven the toachorj
of the young generally failing to appro-
bend and appreciate the full value of
these , principlei. The point , however ,
that most strongly commends itself to
attention is the earnest faith of tbo
president in the patriotism of American
youth , and if this sentiment wore moro
general than it is there would bo loss
heard about the dangers that besot the
future of the republic. The strength
find defense of American institutions are
indeed to bo found in the young of the
land , and it is ti great duty that devolves
upon those who have charge of the edu
cation of American youth to see that
their education is so directed us to cre
ate an imperishable love for our institu
tions. There can bo no prouder or nobler
function than this.
Tin ; FUSIU \ ix KANSAS.
The fusion of the democratic party and
the pcoplo'ri parly in Kansas , or rather
the surrender of the former to the latter ,
has produced serious dissatisfaction
among democrats , muny of whom regard
the course taken by the democratic con
vention as being not only cowjruly but
a practical abandonment of the demo
cratic organi/.ition. Those democrats
are demanding that the party shall re
consider its endorsement of the Weaver
electors a ml put a straight domour.Uic
ticket in thn Hold , and they have taken
steps to call a .second convention for the
purpose ot doing this. If this movement
Inked practical shape there is reason to
believe that it will command the sup-
por.t of ut least one-fourth , nnd in all
likelihood one-half , the old strength of
the party , in which case the object of
the fusion would bo defeated.
The No A' York Sun applauds the
action of the Kansas democrats ' 'who
refuse to strike their ( lag to their es
sential enemies , the people's party"and
says : "Suppose that after Chicago the
Now York democrats had concluded
that success was hopeless , and had en
dorsed the people's party electors hero ?
Wouldn't they have boon condemned by
every hono&t partisan looking to the con
tinuation of the democratic org.tniza-
tlony'Tho democrats in Kansas who are
opposing the fusion bsliovo in fighting
nquaroly for the principles of their
parly , and If they are not permitted to
do this they will not ( Ijjht at nil. If
those earnest and uncompromising be
lievers In the principles of the de
mocracy are not given mi opportunity to
vote for a straight democratic ticket ,
most of them will not vote at all , and
the indications nro Hint they are nu
merous enough to miitorinlly ufTjot the
result. It Is expected th it not less than
f > 00 representative democrats will meet
In convention at Horington two weeks
hence to consider the question of nomi
nating democratic electors , and they
will have the support of a lurgo fraction
of the party.
In addition to this democratic revolt ,
springing from u strong sense of pirty
loyalty and opposition to any comprom
ise of the position of thu party , similar
influences will operate to induce miuiv
who two years ago Id'jnttfiod themselves
with the now politic tl movement to re
turn to the republican ranks. Then the
alliance denounced both of the old par
ties , und fusion with ono of them now ,
involving u disregard of past profes
sions , will have the oiled to open tno
eyes of many old-time republicans to thu
real purpose und end of the new party.
They will sco IJmt such deals cannot
possibly resul ln.inny advantage to the
principles wUtowhluh they are now In
sympntby or ( tin milling to the real
strength nnd Infhloncoof the now party.
The lndlcatltnsnro that the fusion in
Kansas will boijjavj less hurtful to the re
publicans than'its projectors have
counted upon , $ $ 'tho ' reason that miny
democrats willroCuso to endorse It , and
it will also haWtho effect to induce
many old-time 'f ' pub'.lcans ' to return to
their former political alllllntlons. Mean *

TIIK COXDITIOX OF TK.IOK.
The weekly trade review of R. G.
Dun & Co. shows that the fnlluros of
the last week throughout the country
wore 11)0 , while for the corresponding
period Inst year they were 274. The
prophets of disaster nnd ruin should
boar in mind the fact that the number of
business enterprises Is much larger now
than 11 year ugo , and that the number of
failures , therefore , ought to bo greater
instead of smaller. It appears also
that trade is generally good , which
proves that the peopio are buying freely.
Eastern cities report a brisk western
trade and the western cities report busi
ness active. The Omihu jobbers have
been making similar reports for some
time , and they have an extensive trade
in a region that is said to bo upon the
verge of calamity. Collections are re
ported good everywhere , which shows
that the peopio are buying because they
can alTord to do so.
This does not seem to bo a favorable
year for political bugbears and new
fangled schemes of finance. It is im
possible to frighten n man who is not
hungry by trying to point out a spectre
of famine and so lontr as the people have
a financial system that moots their
requirements they will not easily bo
induced to open the door to every ped
dler of sure specifics for hard times.
,1 ( HIVAT MUSICAL I X"OSirtOX.
If the Intentions of Theodore Thomas ,
the director of the bureau of music of
the Columbian World's fair , are carried
out , there will bo given the grandest
and most comprehensive exposition of
the art of music the world has over
known. The breadth and scope of the
plan of Mr. Thomas are so vast as to
nugg''st a reasonable doubt of its prac
ticability , yet it must bo nrosumod that
ho has given it deliberate and thor
ough consideration , and those who are
familiar with his abilities , as well in
practical as in .musical matters , will bo
ready to believe that ho has not pro
posed to himself a task which ho cannot
perform. ' '
The plan of MjvThomas contemplates
showing the world all that has been accomplished
'
complished , in this country ,
and also bringing before the people of
the United Slbtos the highest forms of
music of the otjior most enlightened
nations of the world. A primal condi
tion to the supqo s of this comprehen
sive undortnking/js the hearty support
of American musicians , amateurs and
societies , to bo "o'x-toncled in the form of
festivals of popular music and in inter
pretations of great works. The next
requirement is the prcsonco of repre
sentative musicians ot the world , each
to conduct performances of his own
works and those of his countrymen on a
grand scalo. The final condition to sue-
cess is the provision by the lair authori
ties of the necessary balls and the en
gagement of artists , orchestras and
bands.
There ought to bo no doubt regarding
the zealous co-operation of American
musicians nnd musical societies in this
plan , the benefits 6f which to the cause
of musical culture in this country would
bo incalculable. As to the assistance
from abroad necessary to the complete
success of the phvn , it is stated that the
most distinguished European composers
have so responded to the invitations
tendered them by a special commis
sioner as to assure a series of interna
tional concerts unprecedented in scope
and character. As to the necessary
halls provision has already been made
for their construction , the exposition
authorities thus manifesting their entire
confidence in the practicability of Mr.
Thomas' plan.
It is thus promised that the art of
music in all its forms will bo exhibited
at the World's fair with n scope and
completeness never before attempted ,
and this feature will constitute ono of
the chiel nnd most valuable features of
the exposition. Its educational influ
ence will bo very great and it will bo co
extensive with the country. The mil
lions of peopio who will attend the fail-
will got now and enlarged ideas of the
importance of musical culture In the
educational system of the nation nnd an
Inspiration will bo given to this branch
of culture which cannot fail to produce
splendid results. It will give a stimu
lus not only to the popular study of
music , which is certainly a matter of
great importance , but also to American
musical composition , which needs every
oneourngoniont'if'thoro is over to bo a
distinctively Amo'riciin school of music.
From every pi/lnt / , of view the great
musical oxpositiun-profoctod in connec
tion with the Jj W.orld's fair makes a
clulm to the Intofeat ; of everybody who

The following caustic letter from .Tny Burrows
H
rows was received last evening !
LISTOI.V , Nob. , Julv 10To the Killlor of
TimHii : : : I notice In yesterday's HEB that
you plvo your readers Mr. Van Wyck's ' opin
ion of mvsolf. U would scorn no moro than
fhlr that you should permit mo to Interview
thorn on the snino Ronornl subject ,
Mr. Van Wycit says that I tim "tho meanest -
est man that God over put on oartti and lot
l.vo. " 1 am very ( ; ratoful for his statement
thut Goil nut mo'horo. . If ho dlil It must have
boon for a purpose : and ns I have boon quite
useless up to the nrcsont tltnc , 1 conclude
that purpose was to prevent Mr. Van Wyclr
trom hoodooing the Independent party.
When the putitlowan Induced a few of his
deluded partisans to buy him Into the Lin
coln convention on an old chair , ho reached
nn ulovatlon nnd performed n balancing feat
that ho will not bo able to ronont nt Koarnov ,
1 nssuro him tbat ho does not have the Rbost
of a show for a nomination on August 3.
When ho Induced l' ul Vanaorvoort to
perpotrnto his monumental Ho to the Omaha
convention the very nemo of lioodoolsm und
bluffory was achieved. The chtilr episode
and tun collossal Ho Illustrated domagog-
Ism regnant It anything could.
I would observe to Mr. Van Wyck that de
nouncing tno us "tho meanest man" very
much as a patulant old woman might do
does not answer the Irrefutable array of
facts which I have presented to 1UO.OOO read
ers against htm.
Again permit mo to thank the centloman
for his valuable testimony ns to how 1 was
put in the world. It has greatly tollovcdtny
mind. 1 nin not awnro that ho was ever sus
pected of getting here In the same manner.
Par otherwise , I Imagine. A celebrated pool
has described the arrival in 1'arndiso of n
rebellious spirit called Satan , who , tinsatls-
fiod In heaven with anything loss than supreme
premo dominion , was thrust into the pit , and
from lliero escaped to mar the happiness God
had destined for our llrit parents. This
spirit was the Illustrious prototype of Mr.
Van \Vyck , nnd the latter does it Inlhilto
honor.
In the campaign now pending Mr. Van
Wyclt has resorted to the lowest demagogy
and the vilest lying that was over resorted
to by the most depraved of professional poli
ticians. Ho has enlisted In tits sorvtco the
vilest political nnd moral prostitutes that
this or nnv other state can boast. A man. n
thine , rather , an ox-stnto secretary , who was
expelled from the Knights of Labor for or
ganizing that society In railroad Interests
and for railroad money ; a man In
county , whoso life Is a blot nnd whoso name
nn Uouest woman would blush touttor ; these
are some of his supporters.
On the other hand , I have appealed to the
people with a fair , calm and Indisputable ar
ray of facts , which defy contradiction , nnd
which Mr. Van Wyck fails to meet does
not attempt to moot. On that statement I
rest iny case , and I nin as conlldont of his
defeat at Kearney August U as I am that hoer
or 1 will Hvo to see that day. Very respect

This cool , cloudy "spell of woathor" scorns
to be conducive to blasting political booms.
Yesterday two candidates withdrew from
the wet and called In their friends. Thollrst
wltharaxvul was that of Church Howe in the
First district. Church has nil along de
clared that ho was not In the race , but yos-
tcrday ho put his declaration in writing and
handed It to tbo chairman of tbo First dis
trict central committee. This is what Mr.
Howe says :
Hown/TSTob. , July 10 , IS ! ) ) . Hon. W. H.
Wooawnrd , Lincoln , Nub. : My Dear Sir

congressional committee of thu First district ,
to mnUo public the fact thut 1 urn not a can
didate for congress nnd that my nnrao will
not bo presented to the convention. Very
respectfully yours , Ciiuitcit HOWE.
The second man to improve the opportunity
to withdraw Ullo ho could do it gracefully
is Hon. Warren Switzler. Mr. Switzlor has
also written n lotto11 , which says :
O.MUIV , Nob. , July 10. To the Editor of
Tin : Br.e : Two or three times recently men
tion has been made in your paper of my
natno as among those talked of for congress
in this district. Permit mo to glvo equal
publicity to the fact that 1 am not now , have
never boon , and don't expect to bo a candi
date for that ofllco. If the nomination was
tendered It would bo declined. Yours truly ,

Tbo only change in the situation ns regards
too republican gubernatorial candidates yes
terday was a sudden arop In hickory snirU
below par. It Is pertinent in this connection
to itiote | the following paragraph from the
Lincoln News : ' 'It is imperative that the
man who Is nominated for governor by the
republican pnrtv next month should boa man
who is not handicapped to start with. Ho
should bn n strong man , free from cliques and
combines. "
A politician of Hitchcock county bnnps
the intelligence that the ofllcial organ ol
lohn II. Powers In that county unnnuncns
that the latter gnntlomnn will not contest
with Van Wyck for first place on the limo
pendent stnto ticket , but that Powers will bo
content with second plncu in tbo expectation
that Van Wyck will bo clouted to the United
States senate.
Tobias Castor passed through the cltv
yesterday afternoon enrotito to New York to
attend the meeting of the democratic national
committee. Ho were a summer suit mid an
audiblosmilo and appeared to bo very well
b-atUllcd with Governor Coyd's old job.
Ur. V. P. McGlillcuddy of Hapid City , S.
D. , came in yesterday morning , onrouto to
the republican state convention to bo held at
Madison next Wodnaiaay , wbon a lull Mate
ticket and two congressmen will bo noiiii-
nutod. The two leading candidates for gov
ernor ho declared to bo Farmer Winslow
nnd Master Mechanic Hlco , and ho would
not hazard a prediction us to which would bo
the lucliy man. He expressed the opinion
that Congressmen Plculnr nnd .lolley would
Doth be nominated for io-oleetion , and was
especially certain regarding the llrst named ,
Jolloy was elected to till the vacancy caused
by the death of Mr. Gamble , whodiod before
ho took his teat. The doctor said that Harri

1IITH OF OM III I l.ll'K.
ft Is a well known fact that Irishmen do
not always dwell together m unity. K < r
several years the relations between Hugh
Murphy und the Creightong have been de
cidedly strained. This 1s especially so as to
John A. Crcighton , who has uecomo olTon-
slve to the nobtrils of the burly paving con
tractor.
The ether day a sister of charity called ot
thoolllco of Mr. Murphy and naked him for a
contribution to the now hospital ,
'Why should 1 pay nny money to the hoa-
pltall" asucd Mr , Murphv , with accent on
the I. "Lot John A. Crolghton pay It hlm-
Bolf , Ho has L-ot bis name Immortalized In
the hospital corner lone and bosldos that
ho has never exercised himself very much to
gut the millions ho possesses , "
Tbo etstor , somewhat discouraged , meekly
explained that Mr. Cruluhton hud beau vary
llbura1. and naturally wanted to honor the
memory of the proud family tiumo.
"Now , " said Mr , Murphy , as u now Idea
struck him , "I'll toll you what I'll do. You
will soon want c pavement laid In front of
the hospital. I will Iny that pavement free
of cost on condition that my family iinmo bo
engraved upon the corner block of the curb
stone In tbo following tinea :
Tins is lluon MUIIPIU'S
I'AVKMBXT.
The slstor , not knowing the way * of luo
world , and not dreaming tlmt there could bo
nny unplonsantncss bolxvoon Murphv nnd the
Crelghtoni , npreod to accept Mr. Murphy's
generous offer , If possible , nnd took her
leave of tits ofllco.
An hour or so nftor thU Murphy's telephone -
phone bro o out Into a violent sputter.
Ho answered :
"What's the matter now ! "
'U tlmt Mr. Murphy 1"
"Yes , this Is Mr. Murphy what can I defer
for youl"
"Well , Mr. Murphy , " said a low ,
musical vojce , "I ilnd there Is some
difficulty about the memorial pavement
matter of which wo were talking and If you
hnvo no objections It would bo well for you
to have n talk with Mr. Jutnes Crolghton. "
"Yes , Indeed ; I'll dullcht In talking with
him , " answered Mnrphv cheerily , knowing
nil the while that Jim would rather tain to
the dovll. "Send him down. I shall wait
for him hero at the oftlco. "
Hut .Mm has not yet put In nn nppoaranco
nnd the Murphy memorial pavement Is not
likely to bo laid during the present conlury.
The ether day Mr. William I. Itloratoad ,
well known ns the amlnblo manager of the
Dewy AStono Furniture company , happened
to moot n certain old resident , whom for con
venience sake WB will call Mr. Smith.
"I hnvo ban. n pleasant visit from Mr.
Uowoy , " said Mr. Smith , who is n firm bo-
llovor In spiritualism.
"Yts ! " responded Mr. Klorstcod. with ris
ing inflection , knowing that Mr. Smith was
n bcllovor m spiritualism.
' Yes Mr. Dewey Is very happy in the
ether world. Ho wants to bo remembered to
nil his old friends. "
"Well , " exclaimed Iviorstoad , "that seems
strango. Why should Mr. Dewey visit you
unit r.ot nio > During Mr. Dewoy's Utntlmo
ho nnd I ontortnlnod about the same views
ns to tlio ether world mid often discussed the
suoject. Wo promised oacb other tnat who
ever died first If possible ho would make
himself manifest to the othor. In the
course of a conversation on this subject ho
happened ono day to say to mo : 'Hilly , If
there is anything in the talk of spirits com
ing back to visit this world you will bo tbo
llrst man I visit. ' Now wny should ho not
have kept his promise can you toll ! "
"Well , " vild Mr. Smith , "the trouble Is
that you nro not a medium. You cannot
communicate with spirits without n medium.
My the way , wo have the best spirit medium
here now that I hnvo over known , and you
can consult him if you wish. "
To this Mr. Iviorstoad assented , and m
good tlmo ho and Mr. Smith went into the
awful presence of the medium , a man of sol
emn and impressive mien.
Previous to Doing put in communication
with Mr. Dovvoy ho asked of the medium if
the spirits which ho claimed existed were
willing to make themselves" known to their
friends on earth. Mr. ICioratead was assured
that such was the coso , they being anxious
to make themselves known. Iio was also
assured that they retained ail the knowledge
they possessed In life and acquired much
moro knowledge in their spirit form.
Mr. Ktorstcnd nt once requested to bo put
in communication with Mr. Dawoy.
After the medium called up his spirit ser
vant ho Informed Mr. Kiorstoaii that ho
would have to watt about Jlvo minutes , ns
Mr. Dowuy was then visiting friends in Chi-
cago. In about live minutes the medium
informed Mr. Kiorstoad that Mr. Uowoy was
ready to communicate with him.
Kierstead squared himself for tbo soanco.
Ho wrote on n piece of paper the following
message : "Dear Dewey : \Vbnro did you
buy the ring I have oa my linger ! "
The bit of paper bearing the message was
folded up and placed In a llttlo square box
resting on the table in front of the medium.
After placing his hands on the edge of the
table , assuming an expression of profound
meditation , the medium wrote the following
answer nnd handed it to Mr. Klorstoad :
"My Dear Frlocd : The question you ask
concerns mo but little. At some future tima
I will convince you that the spirit lives
although apparently dead to those on earth. "
After reading the massage Mr. Kloratoad
said : "This is not satisfactory. You told
mo that Mr. Dewey wa * anxious to convince
mo that ho existed In spirit land. If ho had
said , 'Dear Uilly : I bought it of a .low
in Liverpool , ' I should hnvo bnon con
vinced in a moment of the truth
fulness of your doctrine. If ns
you claim Mr. Dovvoy's spirit retained all
the knowledge ho possessed on earth ho
would have answered the question promptly
anil truthfully , knowlhc possibly that this
might bo the onlv chnnco of communication
with mo during my llfo , nnd the question
nskod giving him a good opportunity to maHo
himself known. The circumstances con
nected with the purclmie of the ring were
otton spoKen of by Mr. Dewey nnd never to
bo forgotten.
The medium endeavored to explain ths
ovaslvo answer to Mr. Klorstoad's ' tnessaffi
by senseless arguments , He , however , illJ
not foreot to charge $2 for the soinco , with
the assurance that nt n later tlmo Mr. Dowoj
would bo In n more ooiniminlentlvo mood ,
Although the answer way soiinsntUfacto-o
to Mr. Kloratoad It did not seem to skaka
Mr. Smith's faith la the doctrine of spir
itualism.

It Is barely pojslble that tlio countrv can
endure n cessation of the dispatches which
have burdened nil the wires of the prim as
sociations for some weeks past concerning
Mr. J. S. Clarkson. Not i\ir , Harrison or
Mr. Cleveland , not Mr. Hlaine or Mr. Glad
stone seems to have boon as important n per.
son nee , measured by tbo amount of space
consumed in tbo public notices , as Mr dark-
son. Wo hoard of htm dally nnd hourly , In
nil of hh moods and states of fuel
ing. Wo loimicd prior to the con
vention , what he thought aach morn in e about
the nomination and' each ovoninir how hu
was oscillating in anxious allegiance be
tween Mr. Dlaiuo and tha president. We
loarncd during the convention how ilia great
man was managing things nnd how ho in
tended that everything should come out.
No sooner was the convention adjourned
than wo began to read what Mr.
Clarkson thought of the outlook , and
bow loyal ho proposed to uo to the \
party. Then thn public was informed that ,
*
although It was unconscious of the fiicl
itself , it was really consumed with the deep
est anxiety to know whether or not Mr.
Clurkson would remain at tlio bend ot thu
national committee. The whole party was
torn with despair nt the thought of losing
him. So sensible was ho of Its atony , that
ho would have consented to remain hud nut ,
Mr. HnrrUon ruthlessly Indicated that hu
preferred n lo s open opponent In that posi
tion. Then Mr. Clarkson made n speech ,
telling the country how willing ho had boon
to sacrillco himself und how great n mistake
the president had mndo in the clioiro to
wliich ho would bow. And now Mr. Fassott
or somebody else is relieving our disttoss
almost daily with bulletins cencerninc thu
present state of Mr. Clatkson'H mind.
With all respect for the gentleman and tlio
party , wo think that the sun would continue
to rise just the same if wo wore to hoar los ?
of Mr. Clarkson. Ho Is not absolutely indis
pensable to the national existence , Ho is
simply n very uotlvo and Incorrigible lown
politician , who was largely Instrumental in
fastening upon the republican party there
the policy of prohibition that bus cost it thu
state , laired by that triumph , bo began to
dabble in national politics , and insisted upon
entrance into the cabinet ol Mr. Har
rison. He was given u place nndei
Mr. Wannmakor , wboro ha did .11
much as any ono man could do to Injure
the administration in the eves of the peonk.
Refused tin ally the cnblnt olllci ; on which h I
hopes were centered , hu satisfied his "In t
ivldual disappointment" by Ilghtinir Mr.
