IFrom that lofty perch to the lovel of a vice presidential candidate on the prohibition ticket is a fearful fall, Tue people today are interested more in each other than in their ancestors. 3t is a sympathetic interest which will in the end mean the brotherhood of man. THE inhabitants of Buzzard’s Bay are all growing roundshouldered carrying the enormous and sudden notoriéty which that place of fish and fowl has gained during the past two months. JUDGING from the astonished and stricken-dumb manner in which New York received and gazed at the Chris- tian Endeavorers, it is evident that religion is a pew thing to the metrop- olis. PRESIDENT HARRISON spoko to the point when he alluded in his Saratoga speech to the low wages of woman teachers. But he ought to come to Omaha and find a magnificent exception to that rule. No R bad the ne come that Armour is a democrat and an enemy to tha McKinley law than there came also the crushing intelligence that Pinker- ton and nearly all his men are demo- crats. These are hard days for demo- cratic edito GrORGE WILLIAM CURTIS has not cancer of the stomich, so says his son, a physician. The trouble with Mr. Curtis is probably only dyspepsin, produced from long contemplation of his own virtues and comparing them with the immorality of this wicked world. SOON REPRESENTATIVE BAILEY has asked a redugtion of one day’s salary because he was in Virginia making a speech that day. This is simply phenomenal, but we aro positive that it is only Mr, Bailey’s scheme to gain favor with the alliance people in his Texas district. THE republican party of this state owes it to the national -party and itself to place in nomination only men of known ubility and charactor. No party over succcoded any other way. Then, if defeated or sful, the results on party organization will be the samo. sued AND now comes the news that General Weaver, the foe to corporations and the leader of the overburdencd *‘peoplo,” was tendered and accepted a dinner in St. Louis lust week at which all but the gevneral wore railroad officials. Isn’t that a rich morsel for the alliance folk? HON. ROSWELL G, HORR is announced to speak at Plattsmouth Monday even- ing and at Hastings Tucsday. o pr sonts a most powoerful and convineing array of argument in support of the policy of tho republicun party. His speech bristles with wit and is full of good things. The laboring men ot all parties will hear him with interest and profit. GENERAL WEAVER ratified himself at Des Moines the othor night and the meet- ing was presided over by Charge Chestor Cole, un ex-judge who was tolorated by the republican party until his official odor becameo unbearable and he was al- lowed to quictly step down and out. By reason of this odor, he did not receive the office which he asked of Harrison and now ho joins Weaver’s crazyquilt caravan, —_— Tug avorage American giel is loyal to her country wherevar she goos. It is related by the London corvespondent of the Sun that a Philadelphin party on a steam yucht at the Heoley regatta had the Amorican flag flying when an Eng- lishman in u canoo called out that they ought not to fly such & rag us that. One of the young ladies showed her resent- ment of the insult by bribing the captain of the yacht, who was an Knglishman, to run the canoe down, and the man who bad iosulted the American flag was instantly sent to the bottom of the river. Heo was rescued, however, and came out of the adventure better and wiser than before. The captain of the yacht was given 825 by the Philadelphia girl for his trouble. Whatever may bo said of the mothod of revenge employed, the loyalty of the girl to her country’s lag ‘s worthy of praise. | | [ ROAD IMPROVEMENT. The Board of County Commissioners will presently designate the county roads upon which the $150,000 voted for that purpose is to he es Thoy propose to improve roads to the south and ginning at the as far into COUNTRY west of the city, 1 city boundaries and going the country asthe fund will allow. It will be seen that this method, though it is the only ono that can be depanded upon to give equal satisfaction to all sections having a common cluim upon the bene- fits to be derived from the fund, will still be open to the objection that the places most in need of improvement will have to share oqually with those which need it least. Jach road improved will be an extension of some ovaved street of the city, and before any work is done the streot must be paved to the city limit. Thus the taxpayers of the city will be ohliged to pay for paving which would not otherwise be ordered av present, and the expenditure of the money voted for country roads will invoive expense to the Omaha taxpupers which they have not anticipated. But there does not seem to bo any othor course open 10 the commissioners. They are bound to make euch application of the money at their disposal as will benefit all locali- ties equally, and, therefore, they can divido it around in no other way than the one proposed. There is renson to believe that the Board of County Commissioners will ba the center of o great deal of attention on the part of those who own property on the thoroughfares leading out of the city. Property ownors insido of the city line who will have to be taxed for paving out to the line will in many cases object strenaously to having the country roads connecting with their strects selected for improvement, while those outside of tho line on the samo thoroughfares will decidedly favor such selection. There will ha a clashing of interests that will sxpose the commis gioners to a eross-fire of arguments and appeals, but they will have to turn a deaf ear to everything of that kind and do what scems best for all concerned with- out regard to individua! interests. It is unfortunate, nevertheless, thit the money cannot be placed whero it is most needed without r aeo Lo equal dis- tribution or to lo A NEBRASKA TRALN. At the last meeting of the Nebraska Business Men’s associntion a resolution was adopted favoring the sending ont this year of another railroid train to exhibit the agricultural resources of Nebraska. The first experiment of this kind, made last year, W success. At every stopping place along the route taken by the train it was visited by hundreds of interested peo ple. Farmers in the soveral states through which the train passed came many miles to the exhibit. In several towns visited the occasion was made a holiday, the people manifesting the greatest possible interest in the dis- play. It was undoubtedly the very best advertisement of the resources and capabilitios of Nebraska ever made. [t was an object lesson which could not fail to make a convincing and lasting impression. [t is not too soon to begin eonsidering the question of sending out another train, which should perhaps bs more xtensive than that of last year and would of course pursue a different route. The promise is most favorable for good crops in Nebraska this year, and if this is realized there will be no difliculty in equipping three or four cars with pro- ducts of the state, and the larger the display. within practicable limits, the a decided 08 see better will be the impression. The ex perience of last yoar demonstrated that there is no trouble in attracting to an exhibit of this kind those whom it is de- able to interest. The farmers of the cast eagorly avail themselves of an opportunity to inspect the products of the west, and many of them hive al- ready learned that those of Nebras are not excelled by the products of an other state in the union. It mani- festly wise to extend this knowledge as widely as possible, and the very best way to do this is by giving eastern farm- ers an object lesson which carries its own argument as to the capubilities of Nebrasia's soil and climate. It may be that the hoped for results will not come at once, but the seed thus planted will tainly bear fruit in due vime, 1t 15 the intention of the State Busi- Men's association to send out exhibition train this year, and it is to be hoped the association will meet with gen encouragement. The exhibit of last year was a sourco of wonder to thousands of people in the east who had very little knowledge of the productions of this region. The train to bo sent out this year, which it is presumed will take a different route, will interest as many people and perform an equally valuable service in informing the people of the enst us to the splondid agricultursl ve- sources of Nebraskn, is ce. ness an us 15 CHOLE SPREAD OF Itisan old question among medieal authorities whether cholern soreads by communication from individual to indi- vidual or whether it finds its origin in local conditions, In other words, au- thorities differ as whether it is strictly o contagious disause or not The spread of the dread malady in Lurope at present is so rapld as to sup- port the theory that local conditions rather thun ordinary contugion are re- sponsible for it. It has leapad at a single bound from Asin into the heart of Burope. More thun 150 deaths from this cause have already oceurved in the suburbs of Pavis, and yet it is only a few duys since cholora was reported as making its way toward Europe. It is not pleasant to think of this terrible disease becoming prevalent in the great Furopean centers of population, for that may mean that it is making i's way to- wardeour own country. Already one case has been reported in Cineinnati, but whoether it is the genuine cholera of Asia 0° somcthing less dungerous is yet to be determined At all ovents, it is evident that Ameri- ns, and particularly thoss residing in oities, eannot be too careful to maintain the strictest sanitary regulations.

There weresome things said by Presi- dent Harrison, in his very happy and most appropriats address to the Na tional Bducational association at Sara- toga last Tuesday, which are worthy of consideration, not aloue by those who are engaged in educational work, but by all classes of the people. It is partinent to say here that this address was another notable example of the ease and readiness with which the president meots every demand upon his intel- lectual vesources, showing always not only an ample fund of information, but a high order of ability in deducing from it certainly encourage first of the peared at a placs tosont cases ) sawers ganorally instructive and suggestive thought. No oceasion has yet found him wanting. The strength and defense of our 1n- stitutions, said the pre in peace, but in war, in the youny of the land, who have re- ived from the lips of patriotic teanchers the story of the sacrifice which our fathers made to establish our eivil institutions, and which their sons have repeated on hundreds of battlefields.” It is not in an org mized army or in tho militia of the states that the nation strong, but “‘in that groat reserve to ba ident, not only “are 1o be found found in the istructed young of our land, who come to its defense in time of peril.” Schools ave es- tablished, said the president, not simply to give that power that comes from education, bat to give it safo direction. Thevefors we must insist that in all our schools the morality of the ten commandments shali be instilled; that of due subordination to authority shall be taught. *The fam- ily and the school are the beginning of the fundamental element of good citizen- ship and obedience to law; o respectahle deference to public authority; a self- sucrificing purpose to stand by estab- lished and orderly administration of the government.”’ Undoubtedly thoughts similar tothese havoe oceurred to most intslligent peo- ple, but very few, comparatively, have an adequate conception of the impor tance of the vital principles which Pres; ident Haerison sot forth in plain and <imple languag ven the teachers of the young generally failing to appre- hend and appreciate the full value of these principles. The point, howaver, that most strongly commends itself to lessons attention is the earnest th of the president in the tism of Amorican youth, and if this sentiment were more general than it is there would be less heard about the dangers t beset the future of the republic. The strength and defense of American institutions are indeed to be found in the young of the land, and it is a great duty that devolves upon those who lm\ e charge of the edu- cation of American youth to see that their education is so directed as to cre- ate an impevishable love for our institu- tions, There ¢an be no prouder or nobler function than this. Fu SIOV IN KANSAS, The fusionof the democratic party and the people’s party in Kansas, or rathor the surrender of the former to the latter, has produced dissatisfaction among demoerats, miany of whom regard the course taken by the democratic con- vention as being not only cowaraly but wetical ubandonment of the demo- tic organization. - These domocrats are demanding that the party shall re- consider its endorsement of the Weaver clectors and put a straight democratic ticket in the fieid, and they have taken steps to call a second convention for the purpose of doing this, I this movement tukea practical shape there is reason to believe that it will command the sup- port of at least one-fourth, and in ali likkelihood one-half, the old strength of the party, in which case the object of the fusion would be defeated. The New York Sun applauds the action of the Kansas democrats ‘‘who refuso to strike their flag to their es- sential enemies, the people’s purty,and *“Suppose that after Chicago the 3 York democrats had concluded that success was hopeless, and had en- dorsed the people’s party electors here? Wouldn't they have been condemned by every honest partisan looking tothe con- tinuntion of the democratic organiza- tion he democrats in Kansas who ar opposing the fusion balieve 1n fighting squarely for the principles of their party, and if they are not prrmitted to do this they will not fizht at all, If these earnest and uncompromising bo serious lievers in the principles of the de- mocracy are not givenan opportunity to vote for a straight dewocratic ticket, most of them will not vote av all, and the indications are that thoy are nu- merous enough to matevially affaet the ssult, It i3 oxpected thit not less than 500 ropresentative democrats will meet in convention at Herington two woeks henee 1o consider the question of nomi- nating democratic electors, and they will have the support of a large fraction of the party.

Dun & Co. shows that the failures of the last week throughout the country were 190, while for the corresponding period last year they were 274, The prophets of disaster and ruin should bear in mind the fact that the number of business enterprises is much larger now than a year ago, and that the number of faiiures, therefore, ought to ho greater instead of smaller. Tt appears also that trade is generally good, which proves that the people ave buying freely. Eastorn cities report a brisk western trade and the western cities report busi- ness active, The Omaha jobbers have been making similar reports for soma time, and they have an extensive trade in a region that is saia to be upon the verge of culamity Collections are ro- ported good overywhere, which shows that the people ave buying because they can afford to do so. his does not seom to be a favorable year for political bugbears and now fangled schemes of finance.

Tf the intentions of Theodore Thomas, the director of the bureau of music of the Columbian World’s fair, aro carried out, there will ba given the grandest and most comprehensive exposition of the ari of music the world has ever The brendth and scope of the plan of Mr. Thomas are so vast as to sonable doubt of its prac- ticability, vet it must ba presumed that known. suggost a o ho has given it deliborate and thor- ough consideration, and those who are familiar with s abilitics, as well in practical as in musical matters, will be ready to believe that he has not pro- posed to himself a task which he cannot veriorm. The plan of Mpr. Thomas contemplates showing the world all that has been ac- complished in music in this country, and also bringing before the people of the United Stites the highest forms of music of the other most enlightened nations of the world. A primal condi tion to the success of this comprehen- sive undertaking/is the hearly support of American musicians, amateurs and societies, to be "exten@ed in the form of festivals of popular music and in inter- pretations of great works. The next requirement is the presencaof repre- sentative musicians of the world, each to conduct performances of his own works and those of his countrymen on a grand scale. The final condition to suce cess is the provision by the fair authori- ties of the ary halls and the en- gagement ists, orchestras and bands, There ought to be no doubt regarding the zealous co-operation of American musicians and musical societies in this plan, the benefits of which to the cause of musical culture in this country would be incaleulable. As to the assistance fromi abrond necessary to the complete success of the plan, it is stated that the most distinguished European composers have so responded to the invitations tendered them by a special commis- sioner as to assure a series of interna- tional concerts unprecedented in scope and charac nec of ai er. As to the necessary halls provision has already been made for their construction. the exposition ithorities thus manifesting their entire confidenco in the practicability of Mr, Thomas’ plan It is thus promised that the art of music in all its forms will be exhibited at the World’s fair with a scope and completeness before attempted, and this feature constitute one of the ch ind most valuable features of the exposition.

Tt would seem no more than fuir that you stould permit me to interviow them on the same general subject Mr. Van Wyck says that [am ‘‘the mean- est man that God ever put on earth and lot Lve.” 1am very grateful for his statement that God put me here. If be did it must have been for a purpose: and as I have boen quite useless up to the present time, 1 conclude that purpose was to provent Mr. Van Wyek from hoodooing the independent party. When the gontieman induced a few of his deluded partisans to buy him into the Lin- coln convention on an old chair. he reached an clevation and performed a balancing feat that he will not be able to repeat at Kearney. 1 assure him that he does not have the ghost of & show for a nomination on August 3. When he induced Paul Vanaervoort to perpetrate his monumental lio to the Omaha convention the very acmo of hoodooism and bluffery was achieved. The chair episode and this collossal lie illustrated demagog- ism regnant if anything could. I would observe to Mr. Vau Wyck that de- nouncing mo #s “the meanest man’—very much as a petulant old woman might do— does not answer the irrefutable array of facts which I have presented to 100,000 read- ors against him. Again permit me to thank the wentleman for his valuable testimony as to how 1 was put 1o the world. It has greatly relieved my mind. 1 am not aware that he was ever sus- pected of getting hiere in tho same manner. Far otherwise, 1 imagine. A celebrated poet has descrived tho arrival in Paradise of a rebollious spirit called Satan, who, unsatis- fied in heaven with anything less than su- preme dominion, was torust into the pit, and from there eseaped to mar the happiness God had destined for our first parents. This spirit was the illustrious prototype of Mr. Van Wyck, and the latter does it infinite honor. Inthe campaign now pending Mr. Van Wyck has resorted to the lowest demagogy and tho vilest lying that was over resorted to by the most depraved of professional poli- ticians. He has enlisted in his service the vilest political and moral prostitutes that this or anv other state can boast. A man, & thing, rather, an ex-state secretary, who was expelled from the Knights of Labor for or- ganizing thav society in railrond interests and for railrond money: a man in county, whose life is a blot and whose name an hovest woman would blush toutter; these are somo of his supporters. On the other hand, I have appealed to tho people with a fair, calm and indispatable ar- ray of facts, which defy contradiction, and which Mr. Van Wyck fails to meet—does not attempt to meet. On that statement I rest my case, and I am as contident of his defeat at Kearnoy August i as I am that he or 1 will live to seo that day. Very respect- fuily, BURROWS.

You caunot communicate with spirits without a meayum, By the way, we have tho best spirit medium hero now that [ have ever known, and you can consult him if you wish,” To this Mr. Kiorstoad assented, 200d time he and Mr. Smith went and into n the | awful presence of the medium, & man of sol emn and improssive mien. Previous to being put in communication with Mr. Dewey ho asked of tho medium if the svirits which ho claimed existed wero willing to make themselves* known to their Iriends on earth. Mr. Kiorstead was assured that such was the case, thoy being anxious to make themselves kuown. o was also assured that they retained ail the knowledge they possessed in life and acquired much more knowledge 1n their spirit form. Mr. Kiorstead at once requested to be put in communication with Mr, Dewey. After the medium calied up his spirit ser- vant ho informed Mr. Kierstead that ho would have to wait about five minutes, as Mr. Dewey was then visiting friends in Chi- cago. In about five minutes the medium informed M. Kierstead that Mr. Dewey was ready to communicate with him. Iierstead squared himself for tho seance, He wrote on o piece of paper the following message: *“Dear Dewey: Where did you buy tho ring I have on my finger!” ‘The bit of paper bearing the message was folded up and placed in a littlo square box | rosting on the table in front of the medium. After placing his hands on the edge of tho table, assuming an oxpression of profouna meditation, the mediut wrote the following auswer and handed it to Mr. Kierstead: My Dear frierd: The question you ask concorns me but little. At some future time I will convince you that tho spirit lives although apparently dead to those on carth.” After reading the message Mr. Kierstead said: *“This is not satisfactory. You told mo that Mr. Dewey was anxious to convinco me that he existed in spirit land. I he had said, ‘Dear Billy: I bought it of a Jo in Liverpool,’ I should bave been con- vinced in & moment of the truth fuliess of your dootrine. If as vou claim Mr. Dewey’s spirit retaiued ail the knowledge he possessed on earth he wouid have answered the question prompt and truthfally, knowing possibly that this might be the only chance of communication with mo during my lifo, and the question asked giving him a good opportunity to make bimself known.

He, howover, did not forget to charge §2 for the soauco, With tho assuranco that at a later time Mr. Dowey would be in a mors communicative mood. Although the answer was so unsatisfacto to Mr. Kiorstead it aid not seem to skaka Mr. Smith's faith in tho doctrine of spite itualism, - CAEW HINT FROM PARIS, Europan Edition New York Herakd A DAINTY SUN This hat for the lawn is of flne matting, open worked, the brim round and slightly mushroom shaped in the front and wrned up benind.
