LufcoLN, Neb., Saturday, June 1G, 1804.
There axe spots all over Mr. Howe, the gentleman from Nemaha
county, who desires to represent the First Nebraska district in
congress, and these spots are selfishness, and treachery. Mr. Howe
is an able man and a genial politician; but if he expects to achieve
any lasting success he must remove his spots, and if ho can't remove
them, it is suggested that he take of! his Bkin and sit in his bones
awhile, in humility.
It is a great many years now since the cheap money cry first went
up in this country, but from the day that it first got its hold on the
predjuce of impressionable people, it has never ceased to sound its
clarion notes in one form or another, in the cars of the people, and it
has prevailed on human susceptibility to such an extent that cheap
money has become a fixed and ever present issue; a principle
for new parties, a refuge for malcontents. The present agitation
in this state, looking to the free and unlimited coinage of silver; is
the same old tune that has been sounded to the depths by General
Weaver. Free coinage has for its purpose tho same thing exactly
that gave life to the greenback movement. There is an idea abroad
jn the land that it is possible, under some peculiar circumstance, to
issue a kind of money that every body can obtain with ease, and
that will be worth as much as other money, and free coinage senti
ment feeds on this vague and curious idea. Free silver advocates
like the old time greenbackers, would like a kind of money that
would grow on trees, and could be gathered in bushel baskets like
apples or plums. And that is about all there is to this queer hull
abaloo about ''the free and unlimited coinage of silver.'"
Education in this country has a fearful responsibility before it
On the thoroughness and universality of education depend the
future welfare, even the very existence of our nation. Education
has, in the last fifty years, penetrated places where it never went
oefore: it has gone beyond what is known as the privileged class;
and it has touched the great heart of the people. It has entered
the shop of the laborer, and the hovel of tho poor; it has extended
wide its arms and invited all to taste of its blessings. But its labor
in the new field has been superficial. Appealing to a class that
never before came within its influence it has aroused desire instead
of giving substantial benefit. Education has stirred the ambition
of a class that had never known hope; it has merely touched a new
field, and to the pupils is opened a vista of, Utopian comfort and
luxury. In a general way it has failed to instill in the minds of these
new recruits the broad principles that underline true learning. In
stead it has produced a fever, and the country is just now experien
cing the results of the first effect of education upon minds that
hitherto were utterly removed from aspiration and ambitious en
deavor. The great lesson is as yet unlearned. Only a few stray
seeds have taken root, and these have developed a feverish disquiet
ude, a discontent, a vague ambition; education, 60-called, has knock
ed at the door of the people and its first effect has been to inflame,
to excite. Indefinite desire to reach out and obtain to a new height
has been awakened, and the field of labor has became agitated as it
was never agitated before. A taste of education has called into
being a long dormant ambition, and that ambition has produced a
perturbation all along the line. Labor difficulties have arisen,
strikes have occurred. Impatience has taken the plrco of tho old
time stolid indifference, born of ignorance. Education must now
complete its work. It muBt teach these people tho whole lesson of
life, instill into them the broad principles of unity of interests and in
terpendence. It must show a clear light, and teach all people every
where the true knowledge. It must take the intelligence of a class
just aroused for the first time and expand it. Men who fire at co
laborers, who blow up workshops with bombs, who resort to an
archy to right wrongs, must be learned that there is a rational solu
tion for every problem, that no good can bo accomplished by a policy
of destruction. When education shall have discharged its responsi
bility, when men of all classes shall have been made to comprehend
the truth, then will so-called labor troubles ceases. So long as edu
cation is content to remain where it is, with reference to the labor
ing class, there must be a vent for unenlightened ambition, and
boycotts and industrial disorder must continue.

THE DEADLY FAVORITE.
Macallistcr Mcllhenny 's soul for the instant was as if a silver sun
beam had fallen upon it.
The girl who had been frowning on him had smiled.
It was a smile that lighted the world in the beginning.
Macallistcr Mcllhenny had bet his salary two weeks in advance
on the favorite, and that brute had won last place by a tail heels
down, and it was the season when ice cream and strawberries were
ripe.
When the girl smiled, Macallistcr Mcllhenny took hope.
"Your smile is the loveliest thing in the world,' he murmured soft
and low.
"Yes?' she responded, smiling again.
"Yes," he whispered, reaching for her lily white hand, "and I wish
you would smile on me always."
"But I can't, and again that seraphic smile.
He gazed upon her appealingly, still araching for her hand.
"And why not?" he askep, oh, so anxiously.
"Because," she said, very gently, "I am engaged to smile on Mr.
Wood this evening, who is to tako me to tho ice-cream parlors to
participate in a feast of luscious strawberries."
Once more she smiled, but it was ashes in the mouth of Macallist
cr Mcllhenny, and he went and tore his hair, for the bulk of his
bets was to go to that hated Wood, and this was how he was spend
ing it.
THE LOVER'S THREAT.
"You you will not do anything rash, Mr. Haralong, will you?"
exclaimed the young woman in a trembling voice.
The rejected lover, pale but resolute, rose slowly to his feet.
"Henrietta Plunkett!' he answered through his set teeth, "I will!
Just as surely as you stand there proud, heartless beauty that you
are I shall be in' the South Sea Islands six months from now, tho
happy husband of fourteen wives!'
Happy days and restful nights result from using Ayer's Sarsapar
illa, It so regulates the bodily functions and strengthens the nerv
ous system that worry and fatigue are comparatively unknown and
life is truely enjoyed' It is certainly a most wonderful medicine.
