The event ' Is cert.lv ono of importance and interest to the lCOPIO of Omaha , as well as the state at large , calling attention as it does to the , corresponding growth of the paper with that of the cIty in which it is located. Omaha has in tile past twenty-five years grown from all infant to a vell developed and beautiful city. a center of commercial progress and tile gateway to the grandest gardens of the northwest. Nor is tier splendid condition the only batter for congratulation. Few , if any , cities In this country have better or more definite prospects for future prosperity . + . tliai has Omaha. And It is to be noted in tills connection that , however men may dif. for In their opinions as to the positions that Ilave from titno to time been taken by The lIce in political matters , none vll deny that It has always made an earnest effort fr 'ho advancement of Omaha and the tato.

Ilob Ingersoll never had such an experience as that In all his years of lecturing. It may surprise Bob , too , that tile minister didn't think the fiften present were worth saving. Brooklyn Eagle : One of the bands lead- log a section In the SulIday school parade Friday played , during a part of the march , that popular song , a line of which runs , "Oh , go on , you're only fooling. " While there are many occasions In which such a statement would be proper. such a declaration - tion on a Sunday school parade is hardly consistent with a sturdy faith.

Kansas City Star : Such a parting , even if there was some affectation in the sadness - ness , Is better for the whole country than a parting filled with anger and bitter words and fierce denunciation. Such a separation implies a feeling of respect by each party for the other , If that admirable spirit can be carried into the campaign , It will greatly help men in arriving at right conclusions atiti in voting Intelligently. Chicago l'ost : But the martyr's devotion to his faith is no proof that his faith is sound. Fanaticism is proof of the fanatic's sincerity , but it is no proof of the justice of his cause. Mr. Teller in the evening of his life has fallen a victim to a great delu- slon , and the ardor with which he has espoused - poused it only demonstrates its power for evil , Ills fellow republican leaders deserve all the more credit for resisting the mistaken - taken appeals of one whose past services they applaud and whose character they es- teem. In the iresenco of ills overwhelming discomfiture they can effort ! to be generous and to wish llim years enough to see the falsification of his gloomy prophecies. Chicago Journal : It is most natural that the silver republicans should feel deeply distressed at the thought of leaving the party. They have fought loyally under its banners and have become attached to. Its name. Their leader , Senator Teller , is one of its pioneers. As he himself said , he had assisted in securing the nomination of IAn- coin , had supported lilni In the campaign , and had been identified with republicanism ever since. But the difference of opinion on tlio question of policy anti principle is a vital one. There has been too much of compronilso already , and the small ( action of silverites ought never to bare supposed that it could contlnuo to dictate to the great majority of the party. The Idea was pre- posterous. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fli.AS'i'S FROM ItIM'S llOflN. The love of the beautiful Is a gift that , omes from God. As soon as Adam named the animals , he had a language.
