are so mo signs of life in the organiza
tion. It may awake from the slumber
that overwhelmed it early in the morn
ing of its existence, and it may live and
prosper and do good work. Tho Lord
knows there is a big field for it; plenty
of work for it to do. Let it get away
from that tired feeling and sloth and
slumber that early attached themselves
to it, and shako itself and settle
down to a steady line of endeavor in
accordance with the provisions of its
constitution. Let it give fewer dances,
and do more business. Then it will
prosper and do much good. May it
blossom and fructify. May its dajs be
long in the land, and may success

Lincoln, Neb.. May 18, 1895.
O, WHERE, And what, for-
O, WHERE sooth, has be-
HASITGONE7 come of the
Civic Federation, that clean-skirted or
ganization that was to bring about the
dawn of a new era in the politics and
government of the city of Lincoln?
Mayhap it has tripped in its long skirts
and fallen by the wayside. Or, perad
venture, it may have been lulled to sleep
by the sweet music of the saints with
whom it was ever closely attuned. Again,
it may have slowly died of the blow
which Frank Graham and his cohorts
gave it on last election day. Twas such
a promising thing, too. 'Tis a shame
that it should have died or been put to
sleep, or been given that tired feeling,
so soon. But no man can say what will
be the fate of anything born into the
world. It may have lluttering ribbons
and gay streamers all over it, and yet
die. It may be lusty as an infant, and
die of desuetude while yet in its youth.
Like the Civic Federation, it may
flourish as the green bay tree for a day
and then wither and perish, unhouored
and unsung. There was a double field
for the Civic Federation. Its primary
object was worthy. Its constitution
was good. But in addition to this it
was valuable as affording a means for tho
Good Men, the High Priests and Apos
tles of Sweetness and Light and Political
Purity and All That Sort of Thing to
come forth and instruct the common
people in the ways of righteousness, i. e.,
in the ways of the democratic party. It
was a sort of night school for making
proselytes of week-kneed republicans
or mugwumps. And while it lasted it
was as entertaining as a summer season
of opera. Here's wishing for its speedy
resurrection!
ITS A GOOD When September conns
THING. and the first touch of
WAIT FOB IT autumn gold tints the
trees, when the pumpkin is ready for
the pie, when the corn in the field
makes the heart of the husbandman
glad, then will come the big Line ln
fair; and the stock pens will be full, and
the fruit and the grain will dazzle the
eye, and art and machinery will display
themselves, and fast horses will tread
the race course, and in town pageants
will move and red light will burn, and
music will sound. The state fair will
be held in Omaha this year, but the
Lincoln fair, bigger, better and more
stupendeous than ever before will be
here. There will be rings and sideshows
without number. It will be a grand
and glorious combination of light and
color and all good things, something to
be waited for with joyous hope and en
joyed with keenest pleasure. Try the
Lincoln fair and you will use no other

THE CYCLE facilitating business as
well as for tho purposes of exercise and
rocreation is tho bicycle. When one
manufacturer states that he has been
making bicycles for twenty years it may
bo said that the wheel is not a new
thing. But it is only within tho last
few years that it has come into general
use. Before that time its use was con
fined almost entirely to those who rodo
for exercise or pleasure. Lately it has
crossed the limitations of the sporting
field, and is now a recognized factor in
the business world. The bicycle is
becoming fully as neccesary as tho
buggy and the wagon. It is, to a great
extent, supplanting tho horse, and street
railway companies and oven the big
steam railroads are feeling the infiuenco
of this remarkable development in
cycling. Traveling men are making
use of the wheel, newspapers are being
delivered by its means, collectors find it
much more convenient than the buggy,
business men of all kinds use it for
various business purposes. And every
body uses it for recreation nowadajs.
In Lincoln nearly three thousand peo
ple use the cycle, and the number is in
creasing with great rapdity. Riding
tho two-wheel concern will soon be
almost as general as pedestrianism.
HOLCOMB 'ihe governor or Ne-
TAYS TRIBUTE braska, Silas A.
TO GRANT Holcomb, may be
deficient in many respects; he may be a
democrat with populistic leanings; he
may have made many foolish appoint
ments, as for instance those of Mart
Howe and E. C. Bewick; but when it
comes to the summing up ot the char
acter of U. S. Grant he rises to the oc
casion in a manner calculated to warm
the cockles of the old veteran'6 heart.
This democratic or mixed goods gov
ernor says that "in ancestry and educa
tion, in thought and in action Grant
was intensely American." "As the
years roll on and partisian strife and
sectionalism are softened and buried
and men can see and think dispassion
ately, all will realize the true grandeur
ot this warrior, statesman and patriot,
and in the coming ages those who look
back to trace the world's history will see
the name of Grant beside that of Lin
coln great monumental stones to mark
tho existenceof the Nineteenth century."
The governor's letter to the Grant Ban
quet association of New York does him
proud.

Ten Days of Country Lire With City Society
I ART OI OXXR PROGRAM:
o o
REV. EDWARD ANDERSON
D.D.. of Connecticut, an ardent G. A. R.
man, will deliver the national address on
July 4.
of Lincoln will be tho pianist of the assem
bly, and everyono knows that means first
class music. Mrs. Jones has been at tho
assembly many times anil always makes
friends.
REV. J. D. STEWART
MRS. BENJAMIN
of Aurora, will conduct the Adult Normal
Class as last year. Hov. Stewart has had
much experience in this work, and always
makes his lessons of much interest. The
normal work is the fundamental basis of
Chautauqua. It is the one thing that makes
an Ideal Chautauqua Assembly.
MISS GERTRUDE I. ROBINSON
of Michigan, state president of tho W. C.
T. U., will be at the assembly five days.
This will ensure a largo nttendanco of
women, for Mrs. Benjamin is one of tho
national workers and speakers. She will
conduct four parliamentary drills.and it is
jKissible for a person to become very pro
ficient in parliamentary usages by attend
ing these drills.
Of Chicago, the most celebrated harpist of
that city, will bo present for two days. A
lino harp, well plajed, makes the finest
of music, and it is only necessay for a per
son to become a listener, to become a lover
of harp music.
MRS. L. C. COREY
MRS. WILL OWEN JONES
o Lincoln will have charge of tho C L. S.
C. work duriug the assembly. Mrs. Corey
is a live Chautauquan. She has been inter
ested in this work many years and has at
tended many assemblies. All Chautau
quans will immediately feel at home.

he has been indiscreet, and there is an
enmhatic desire on the part of some J. OA-lS J. O 0-C
enthusiastic republicans to have him
removed. Now, it may be that a repub
lican is better at putting out fires than
a democrat or a hybrid; but this fact is
not apparent; and it does not seem
right that a good oflicer. whom the
people generally want, should be turned
out because he isn't a republican.
What has politics got to do with putting
out fires, anyway? When a good man is
found in a place of this kind it is a good
idea to keep him there.
