Now, when such” men a8 Brad Slaughter are selected to lead the following of 4 man_secking political succes- sion, 1 take it that he is willing to eater venality in auy measure that may become necos: Slaughter's methods ™ are too well known to require a_word from me. And I am assured that he is to be States marshal for the servi s, always providing thai Manderson himself. It is also said that has set the pius to succeel chief clerk of the house representatives, There must be some- thing i the saying that some men want the earth. Everyone knows that Brad Slaughter belongs, and has belonged, to the oil room gang for years past. He hias not only been a tool of the railronds, but an_obstructionisy whenever it has been possible for railroad legislation that would benefit the general public. Idon’t care what claims a candidate may have for further preferment, there can be no excuso for his surrounding himself with the most notorious railroad lobbyists of the state, and then call and expect the repre- sentatives of the people to fall into line. 'The time has come to rebuke such deals, and for one member-elect, I am ready to help to do it. It Is o singular fact thatsnch men as Church Howe, F. P. Olmstead, J. L. Cald- well, Captain Lee, Ed_Carnes, A. W. Agee, Ben' Cowdry and Paul Vanderbum are his most devoted friends and backers. Does this look as though the peovle were to have @ representative man in the United States senate! It does seem to me that every think- fng man can see that Manderson is not for the people and of the people. He is tho can- didato of the corporations, and the twaddle that he Is the recognized successor of Gen- eral Logun, an old soldier and the friend of the soldier’s widow and orphan, is but a transparent disguise of the reil issue of the senatorial tigh “I want to say also, that the bill smugglers, Slaughter and Seeley, ought to be retired from the chairs they have occupied so long. The people have a right to be thoroughly represented The absurd cry that these spotters will greatly itate business ought to be downed. Therc are men in Nebraska who possess just as much clerical ability as either Slaughter or Walt Secley, and thoy would serve the people honestly. There would be no danzer that bills would mysteriously disappear at a_critical time, I could not support Siaughterif he should prove to be the caucus nominee, and I know a member or two of the senate who feel the same way regarding Seeley “No. I have very little confidence n Wat- son’s professions, but be is & strong candi- Qate for spea of the house of representa- tives, His work two years ago on the floor of the house was vascillating and inconsis- tent, but Watson is uot as_objectionable as Olmstead. He is sharp, keen, caleulating, and has common sense. For this reason, Watson 15 the more formidable man of the two. 1 doubt whother either of them will succeed. Olmstead, in faet, 18 a dead duck already. 1 regard Demvster as a sqnare man.

The custom of sinking money under bricks in the floors and plug- ging it in holes in the walls commenced with the oceupation of the country by the 5 ards. Iiven until to-day the custom is in vogue in wmany parts of Mexico. The frequeni revolutions with which Mexico was cursed up to twelve ago made it a necessity for the priests to have ot vaults to store the ortha- ments of th ax images, the service of the church, and the tithes. That by (1u|lh sudden departures, and other st the vaults with their treasures ||| time should have been lost to the world is not miraculous. The latest dis- covery of a treasure has just been made in this cit A weman of advanced years has lived for a short time in a room in the old Regina convent, on Regina street. She paid no rent, her being given her by a chy on whose name is not known. One day while the old woman was ari ing o nail in one of th noticed that it went in easily, giving the r resistance. - Im- pelled by ¢ the woman com- menced to make an excavation in the wall,in_which she found a yumber of pieces of silyerware, which it is sup- posed, formed a part of the convert I scrvice. The woman made the v known to her benefactor, who took out the pieces of plate, severely reprimanding her for her curiosity, and also telling her that they belongc to him and that she must keep the si cret, promising that he would give her a !m.u' of land where she could peace- fully pass the rest of her days. The old lady continued living in the room, however, and soon after made another excavation in the wall, in which she discovered a sealed olla (earthen r). She broke it, and in it discovered $40 or $50 in old coins,a reliquary in which was the wax bust of a monk on which was a hardly legible inscription, and, mor over, some documentsor decds to houses, and one telling of a hidden treasure with all the descriptions where it was to be found. This time the old woman did not tell the charitable person of her discovery. She went and consulted o lawyer, to whom she took all the docu- ments found with the exception one telling of the plac treasure was hidden. It is gentlemen who learned of the discovery made by the old woman purchased the land where the treasure is supposed to be buried, and has already commenced hunting fof the republic. not e Do Not Think For a Moment, That catarrh will in time wear out, The theory is false. Meu try tobelieve it because'it would be pleasant if true, but it is not, as all know. Do not let an acute attack of cold in the head remain unsubdued. It is liable to develop into catarrh, You can rid yourself of the cold and avoid all chance of catarrh by using Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. If already afflicted rid yourself of this troublesome disease Speedily by the same means.
