THE COURIER. 11 A Reminiscence. A correspondent asks the Conserva tive to tell him how many democratic voters there are in Nebraska. He might have requested one seeing a person vo raciously devouring a bologna sausage to tell him how much beef, pork, mutton, mule or dog meat it contained. No one could analyze a sausage or plate of hotel hash by seeing somebody else eat it nor V tell how little good pork or sound beef or how much mule or dog meat it con tained. And the most acute observer cannot tell by counting the votes cast for a delusion, fusion, illusion and con fusion ticket in Nebraska how many of those- votes were formerly democratic. But it is entirely within the bounds of absolute truth to state positively that there is no democratic party in Nebraska which has an existence independent of any other political party. There is no democratic party in Nebraska which, for a principle, or a polisy, or a faith, names candidates for office without regard to getting those candidates endorsed by some other political tarty. The demo cratic party of Nebraska is only a remi niscence. Long since it was swallowed by populism. Long since it became in tegral in a composite, which is merely an abnormal appetite for the emolu ments of office for "money, not honor." From the Conservative. j ear.

It is the latest fad in writing paper. The Swastika is an East Indian mystic figure or symbol of good luck, well known to the Bra hamans nd Buddhists and frequently employed in the decorative carvings and paintings upon the temples of the east. The word is of Sanskrit origin and sig nifies happiness, well-being, good luck. The origin of this symbol is wrapped in mystery. No one knows how, when or where it originated. However, it has positively been ascertained that the eymbol had its birth in pre-historic times. ltd one great point of interest lies in the fact that it is extremely old. Its unquestionable significance as a mark of happiness or well being makes it doubly acceptable to one who is writ ing to a friend desiring to convey in every possible way that expression of good will which nullities distance and draws the world together in a feeling of kinship.
