THE COURIER. I! kl correspondent in paying tribute to this philanthropist said that he had proba bly given away 120,000,000. There are many good things to the credit of the Rockefellers. But the stu dent in political economy would hardly call the "gift" of even $20,000,000 out of $200,000,000 ground out of the people by one of the crudest monopolies the world has ever known, philanthropy. Even the beautiful picture of a Rockefeller button In Lincoln.

The people general- away owuayear loses us auracuveness Highest of all in Leavening Powers-Latest U. S. Gov't Report Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE im ly agree with Mr. Cleveland that there should be no third term. The other day a son of William G. Rockefeller was married. It was a plain, simple wedding, "with Just a few chrysanthemums and some smllax." It was in marked and favorable contrast to the vulgar Whitney and Vanderbilt weddings. This week a daughter of seen a number of these men together Jonn D Rockefeller was married. She has not noticed among them blanched ,g a good glrf and charitable. One en faces and lack-lustre eyes that tell of thuslastlc newspaper writer said she a past of wanton depravity, that pre- Rlves away fny $5000 a year in charity, diet a future laden with misery?

His benefactions to this ordeal, and a good many fall by the jn8tltuton amount to nearly $8,000,000. est here. The woman said she would rather send her boy to Hades than to Tale college. This brings up an Inter esting question. It Is no secret that a large number of young men who enter Yale and Harvard and other similar institutions emerge in a condition that amply Justifies the title to Helen Gard ner's book of a few years ago. "Is This Your Son, My Lord?" Who that has wayside. But the New Haven woman should have had more confidence in her son. If she has reared the boy in the way he should go he would in all prob ability come out of Yale unscathed, with many of the lessons of life learned. Yale with ail its horrors is not yet a bourne from which no traveler returns. "All ye that enter here leave hope be hind" is not written on its portals. On the other hand Hades, if we accept the hypothesis of eternal punishment. Is one point to which return tickets are not sold. The person who goes to Hades burns all bridges behind him. There is no escape. Orpheus may have gone down after Eurydice, but that was a. long time ago and as a matter of fact, confidentially, it is doubtful if Orpheus did really descend into the Infernal re gions. In these times a messenger might be sent, but he would not come back. So it appears on consideration, that the New Haven woman would do much better to send her boy to Yale than to Hades. In the end it may be the same; but the young man would at least carry something down with him. There may be facilities for playing foot ball down there. m Nebraska republicans who hope to see McKinley nominated for president next year must recognize in the supremacy of Mr. Quay in Pennsylvania and Mr. Piatt in New York a very powerful an tagonism to McKinley. Quay Is him self a candidate for president, and Piatt Is for Reed. Their influence is tremendous. These two men who, to a great extent, control the destiny of the republican party for the next four or five years at least, represent the bas est element in politics. They are cor rupt beyond all belief. These two un principled men are riding the republi can party like the Old-Man-of-the-Sea. That glittering and highly intellectual authority on money and garden truck, J. Sterling Morton, has been discussing President Cleveland and a third term. Mr. Morton said: "Why should Presi dent Cleveland be opposed to a third term? The talk of a third term has been confined to the newspapers, and there is no one who can say he ever heard Mr. Cleveland give an expression on the subject." What Mr. Morton said about Mr. Cleveland indicates that our showy Nebraskan knows more about agriculture and finance than he does about recent political history The one roan who has pointed out in a manner so forcible and logical as to be thor oughly convincing that a president Mr. Rockefeller is said to be worth $200,000,000. He Is also said to be the richest man In the world. A New York when viewed against the background of Rockefeller oppression and extortion. Years ago men and women of wealth used to buy Indulgences from the church. Today they try to buy indul gences from society. Were Mr. Rocke feller to give back the whole $200,000,000 he could not atone for the hardships he has inflicted on society. e Ell Perkins Is Just now devoting his humor to politics. He speaks as a dem ocrat and he makes speeches like the following: "I'm a Democrat, you know, and I only keep track of our prosperous Dem ocratic party. The Democratic party Is doing well." "In what respect?" asked the repor ter. "Why. we have made a deficit of $300,000,000 since Grover got in and bor rowed the money to pay It. We are enjoying ourselves, and we are going to let the Republicans do the walking lat er on. The Republicans paid $2,000,000 000 on the national debt, and I guess they can pay a little three hundred million deficit." "But what has become of the $182. 000,000 in gold which you borrowed?" was asked. "Well, we put It with the $84,000,000 which we had In the treasury, making $266,000,000 in gold, and we have spent it all but $91,000,000 to pay running ex penses. Instead of taking in enough money at the custom house to pay for running the Government we hired gold, from the English at four per cent. Oh, we Democrats are smart, we are! "We Democrats don't pay greenbacks and silver to the American farmers for wool," continued Eli, "but we send $8.4, 000,000 In gold a year to Thibet and Australia." "What are you Democrats doing with the great industries?" asked the re porter. "Why, we are knocking them out. We've killed the Yankee lace factory" at Wllkesbarre, and are buying ship loads of window curtains In Notting ham. We have shut up a third of the. woolen factories in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the British steamers come loaded with woolen cloth from .fin. ffl tn ftM !l?NtMiWtt OfVW FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY By special arrangement with the various publis hers THE COUEIER is able to make an extraordioary clubbing offer. sJliiiliiiiii fH i I WE ill TTIIl KITh S9Sfl Here is a list of the leading papers which we club with.
