Of the hundreds of volumes of Juvenile

there aro but few that a Judicious parent
would caro to place In tho hands of his

Oftentimes the fault lies in the representa

Injured rather than benefited by the great
majority of such books. A book against I
wiiich no objections can be made Is a new
work by Charlotte Curtis Smith, entitled
"Hob Kulght's Diary at Poplar Hill School."
It Is a good, clean, healthy story, Intensolv
fascinating. It Is best adapted to boys
from 7 to 12 years of age. The story Is
so told thnt it cannot fall to make a good
Impression ou the youthful reader. K. P.

Another book for young people, equally
prnlaoworthy with the above, though of an
entirely different character, Is "Living
Pictures of the Animal Kingdom." It Is a
largo book of lttii pages, each hearing an
Illustration of somo nnlmal or bird with
short explanatory remarks at the bottom.
The Illustrations nre from photographs of
the illicit specimens of animals and birds
to bo found In the zoological gurdens. Tho
book has this advantage over all previous
works of a similar character In that the
Illustrations, being taken from actual
photographs, are absolutely truo to nature.
Moreover, the accompanying descriptive
matter Is so brief and well worded that
there Is no danger of tiring or confusing
tho young student of unturai history. So

" Bryan Is losing ground in all pans' of
Illinois. The populist farmers who give
him a largo oto In tho state In 1SG have '
deserted tho silver causo and tired of his '
false prophecies. They have declared
themselves In line with tho administra
tion," said Hon. W. II. Phelps of Klmwood,
III., who wus lu Omaha yesterday on his
wny to Deadvood. "The farmer voto In
Illinois, as well as In all the adjoining
states. Is In lino with McKlnley. Forty
cent corn nnd J3 pork speak to tho farmer
In plainer language than any campaign or
ntor can use.
"McKlnley will carry Illinois by a much
larger majority than In lS'jfi. Although
tho democratic leaders In the state main
tain thut all thu Rold men have been
whipped back Into line, I know positively
that many of tho Cleveland democrats
who are supporting the democratic stute
tkkot will not voto tor Hryan. The Ger
man ote cannot swallow free silver nnd
III yun und all his Dpellblnders cannot per
suade tho (lermaus that silver Is not tho
leading Issue In the campaign.
"Imperialism is nut developing Into the
Issue the democrats had hoped for. Sev
eral days ugo 1 heard Mr. Hryan deliver
a speech, ' a little Illinois town. Ho did
not excite the enthusiasm called forth by
his speeches lu lSliti aud seemed to be hav
ing a hard time to llnd something to talk
abcut. Militarism nnd imperialism do not
afford material for such nn excellent cam
pnlgn as ho made four years ago."
ItuxKln Mom but Sure.
Mr. Phelps has been uctlvc In Illinois
politics for forty years. In 1SC2 ho was
named consul to St. Petersburg, Hussla,
hy President Lincoln nnd remained abroad
until Mr. Lincoln's death. When nBked
for an opinion concerning Kussln's atti
tude toward China Mr. Phelps snld that he
thought It was rather hard to tell ex
actly what Hussla expects to do at piesitit.
"Hut you may rest assured that Hussla
will eventually have a large bIIco of Man
churia and will own all the ground over
which its transcontinental line passes on
Its wny to Port Arthur," said Mr, Phelps.
"I am well enough ucquntntcd with Hus
slan character to know that the govern
ment will gradually acquire n portion of
tho disputed territory. The Great Hear Is
uullko other nations. He enn wutl nud
wfttch faithfully. Kusslan rulers are pa
tient nud do uol do a thing In a day
after the Amcrlcnn fashion.
"If the preaeut czar cannot accomplish
all he desires In tho way of giving Hussla
a foothold along the Asiatic coast he will
die content with whnt ho has done and
rest easy In the belief that his descendants
will carry out his plans. Hussla may en
croach slowly upou tho coveted territory,
but Its grasp is firm and It will eventu
ally secure Just what It wants."
Husshi, Its people and ItH czar, are, in
Mr. Phelps' opinion, greatly misunderstood
by Americans. He says that the writings
of George Kennau and other correspond
ents who have visited Siberia are greatly
exaggerated and havo been written In bit
terness. "If Russian writers were to come
to tho United States with tho solo purpose
of pleklug out sensational subjects they
could llnd as bad conditions ns were pic
tured by Kennan," said Mr. Phelps. "Ac
counts of American lyuchlngs und Blmllar
outbreaks of lawlessness would bo as sen
sational ns Kennun's articles aud would
work no greater injustice to tho United
States than Kennan has Inflicted on Hussla.
(noil Points of tirent lleur,
"Of courso tho civilization of Russia and
Siberia Is not what the civilization of the
United States Is, but It could not be ex
pected. Medinoval customs prevail In Rus
sia nnd when they are viewed through
American glasses they are not pleasing.
Yet ono cannot help but adtnlro many
things about tho government. The czar la
not Buch a tyrant ns Is commonly sup
posed and Is not directly responsible for
all the wrongs indicted upon his subjects.
It Is estlmatod that less thau 3 per cent
of tho prisoners who are sent to Siberia
aro sent there for political crimes. And
the czar knows nothing concerning most
ot tho political exiles.
"Our prisons aro filled with criminals
of all degrees and we do not think there
Is anything wrong In punishing them. Most
of tho men who are sent to Siberia havo
committed Just auch crimes as men are
Imprisoned for In this country: they are
imprisoned by the order of courts nnd
pay tho penalty of their crime. Tho Idea
flecms to prevail that all tho Slbe'rlun exiles
aro made to suffer for somo small political
offense, but such Is not the case."
Mr. Phelps and his father enjoyed closo
friendship with Ahraham Lincoln at the
time when the famous debates between Mr.
Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas wero being
held lu Illinois nnd were on terms of
intimacy with the martyred president until
tho time of his death. "After Mr. Lincoln
was elected to the presidency he was talk
ing to my father about tho great honor that
had been bestowed upon him," said Mr.
Phelps. "He eulogized severnl of the presi
dents and then remarked, i can't under
stand how a provldeneo which has called
such wise and good men to the presidential
chair eor came to pick out a wood's colt
liko me.' "
Lincoln I'IihIk IIIn .MreiiKtli.
When Mr. Lincoln first began his debates
with Judco Douclax he attempted to an
swer all arguments set forth by his oppo
nent. Ho was continually on the defen
sive and devoted all his tlmo to refuting
Douglas' statements. This pleased Douglas
and gave him the better of tho debates for
a time, but Lincoln's friends urged him to
assume the offensive and It wns not long
until Douglas was worsted und announced
that he had to fill speaking engagements
lmido hy hU committee ami could not con
tinue the debates. Tho republican com
mittee had Lincoln follow Judge Douglas
all oor Illinois. This made Douglas ver
Indignant and ho began to ridicule Lln
colu't personal appearance and nsserted
that Lincoln wab nothing but a backwoods
bartender.
"Mr. Lincoln did not like to indulge in
personalities, but after Douglas began this
practice he was compelled to replj ." said
Mr. Phelps. "It was my good fortune to
hear Mr. Lincoln speak In a town where
Douglaa had ridiculed him and charged
him with being a bartender. Ilo admitted
that he was not a hnndBome man aud In
dulged In some pleasantries about his nwk
ward uppcarnnce. Then a smile came over
his faco and hu said: 'What If I waB a
bartender? The only difference between mo
and Judge Douglas was the bar.' This ro
mark Immediately won tho sympathy of
tho audience for It was generally known
that Douglas drank to excess."

IU publican club of the present ca itpalgu
was that held last night at Twen.y ninth

the progrutn being opened bv C. S Lot
Ingler, who spent most of his tirao lu il
lustratlug and commenting upon the posti
billtles of the Philippine Islands uj a bus"
fot commercial enterprise In the Orleii'
"Tho policy of tho republican pnm ' caid
the speaker, "Is the extension of the
power and Influence ot the In I ted Stutea
in ccry function of gournti!!nt and tho
duelopmcut of the material Industries of
tho country. In carrying out this Iden i
has been the object of the statesmen who
havo guided the party to have the large
part of tho goods consumed by tho Vmeli
can people produced on American soil
With the diversified resources of the Phil
ippines nud the other tropical lands, which
by purchase and the law of nations have
como under our control, It will he possible
to realize tho hopes of the loaders of the
party and In tho courso of n short time
American land will produce all that Amer
ica needs nnd It will be unnecessary for
us to Bend American money beyond the In
fluence of tho American llag."
The speaker discussed the tariff ques
tion nt length, showing the relative con
ditions of tho country under thu Wilson
bill and under the Dlugley bill nnd re
ferred to the political status of tho resi
dents of tho Islands ceded to tho United
States by Spain, predicting that ns soon
as they had attained the same degree of
Intelligence ns the citizens of the United
States they would be given the same lights
and privileges and showing that lu hla
present policy the president Is following
thu precedents established by Jelfersou and
other democratic presidents. He then took
up tho mntter of tho disfranchisement of
the negroes of tho south, appealing to his
hearers to elect a congress which with the
nssistance of the president wculd make it
Impossible for the suites to nullify tho
federal constitution.
The third Bpeuker was A. II. Murdoch ot
South Omaha, whox prefaced his remarks
by referring to the Improved condition of
tho .working peoplo of Onmhn nnd SiUth
Omaha nnd said that the paramount Issue
in tho minds ot many was a continuation
of the policy which permits tho improved
conditions. "Under the present adminis
tration," said the speaker, "tho United
States has risen from a secondary power
to llrst place among tho nations of tho
world, prosperous nt home and respected
abroad." He asked his htarers to o nil
In their power to strengthen tho hnnds. of
the president by giving lilin a working ma

any consultation of the wlshea of vter.i.
No one has been found who ent'rlnins tho
slightest suspicion as to who may bo noml

that it Is merely Intended to go through
the motions of putting up a ticket.
Under tho laws laid down for the rogu
latlon of prlmnrlcs and conventions . this
convention of delegates appointed by tho
committee Is dearly Illegal and thfs proc
ess of getting up a convention In In direct
violation of a resolution adopted
at tho recent county convention against
tho appointment of delegatos to a conven

To thoso who hold that It Is enough for
an author and his associates, the actors, to
niatcrinltzo tho choicest spirits of nny by
gone time, to surround them with the very
atmosphere in which they moved aud to
set them on the stagn ns they existed In the
llesli, "Oliver Goldsmith" will appeal as a
great play. Thero Ib something very de
lightful In tho bucccsslon ot pictures with
which Augustus Thomas hns tilled his work
pictures that tako us back to tho golden
Uohemla of which tho characters of the
i drama w.ero tho central llgurcs. To sec
grulf old Dr. Johnson, with his wealth of
erudition nud his brusque manner; llttlo
lloswell, notebook in hand, following the
great man like a shadow, and preserving
for later generations tho pearls of thought
that fell constantly from the lips of his
Illustrious patron; David Oarrlek, the most
famous actor of his time; Kdmund Hurke,
the orator and statesman, and last, hut not
least, of tho talented coterie, Noll Gold
smith himself, tho man "who wrote the
best novel, tho best play and tho best poem
of his ago" to be permitted to look upon
the everyday life of these men of so bril
liant parts, and to feel that tho picture Is
In the main a truthful ono nnd not unduly
exaggerated, Is a pleasure to anynno who
Is at all familiar with tho legacies they left
to tho generations that followed them.
Hut there will ho thoso who will say that
something more thau this Ib needed. That
tho characters who aro thus materialized
should bo In some way associated with n
scries of dramatic events which give tho
playwright hie excuse for bringing them '
from tho Bhadowy past, even though In so I
dolnt? they nre shorn of the halo with which
nistory lias investeit tliem. To such the
drama under consideration will bo esteemed
but half a play, aud vastly Inferior to "Ala
bama" or "Arizona." Perhaps It Is to tho
paucity of dramatic Incidents In tho life
of the gifted, though prodigal, young Irish
man whom Mr. Thomas has made the central
figure of his play that this lack of dramatic
Interest is to bo attributed, and it is quite'
possible that the author, feeling this defect !
himself, Bought to cover Its Inherent weak
ness with a veneer of epigram and brilliant '
talk which ho has employed In no other 1
of his plays.
Hut when this is said there is no further
criticism to bo offered on either tho play
or tho players. For the rest It Is quietly

A number of republican committeemen
from throughout the statu were In attend
auce at the session of tho stnte central
committee in the rooms uf the hcadqunr
tcra last night. Several Important matters
were to be considered nnd vacancte .
caused by the resignation of two cand
dates for presidential electors were i
bo filled.
A letter was read front S P. Davidson
of Tecumseh setting forth his reason for
withdrawing his name Mr. Davidson Bald
ho had heard on more or less tellable nu
thorlty that a bank director waa therob'
disqualified from acting ns elector. As
Mich he did not wish to embarrass the
Mtate committee witli any possible pro
leFts after his election and thought it bes
that Bomeono else be substituted. While
Chairman Lindsay doubted tho validity ot
tho objection referred to, he admitted that
It might cause trouble. The committor
accordingly selected Senator Harton to at i
in Mr. Davidson's stead.
The resignation of L. W. Ilaguo of Mm
den was submitted because his county had
scon fit to propose his name for the legls
lature. A. C. Christlau&en. who was In
formally choson several weeks ago, was
formally Installed on tho ticket.
