Kste's Stockings.

Denver Tribune.
Kate Castleton is a powerful good
locker and an equally powerful good
dresser, but if she has one e%xtravagant
hobby dearer to her than aught else it
Is hosiery. d Iripg one performance
OF the Rice Surprise Party she man
ages to exhibit over a dozen pair of
stockings, of every color and pattern
and of the costliest material. The
hose she wears in her character sketch
of the Q Quaker girl were a gift from
the Ahkoond of Cashmere, before
whose court she played with great sue.
cess four years ago. These hose were
manuf .ctu,ed from the fleece of the
sacred lambs which are permitted to
browse on the tender grass which
grows at the shrine of the temple ad-
joining the Ahkoond's palace. They
are SO soft that they are scarcely to BIZ
distinguished from the finest velvet.
They are made in the Indian style,
| closely resembling the modern chemi-
loon, with pockets at the hips, and are
fastened about the neck of the wearer
with a si,ken pickering string. Their
estimated value is one hundred gold
rupees, or 500. Another pair of
stockings Miss CSstleton has cost $500.
They are yellow silk, exquisitely en-
broidered and are said to have been
worn by Queen Elizabeth when she
sipnedthe death warrant of unfortunate
Mary, queen of Scots. The third pair
are foe spun lace, a gift from the
lord mayor of Brussels, and still an
other, Of UNIQUE design, valued at
$3.50, were a present from tho cele-
brared silk mandatory Of Armand
Ricquard ct fills, Lyons, France.
Some idea may be formed of the pas
sion Miss Castleton has for hosiery
when 1t is stated upon the authority
of her fdus Achates, Mr.. A. b. Jar
rett, that two large trunks are re-
auired to hold aud transport them
one strange notion she has is that hei
stockings must never be laundried,

THE solicitor Of the treasury depart
ment raises his voice against the sys.
tenn of compromising customs suits for
ftaud against the government before
the cases come for trial In the courts.
Mr.. Rsynor hits the nail OIL the head
when he says:
"There should be q law passed
which would stop this business of com.
promising before trial. 1t is urf air to
the government and a premium on
fraud. Every offender should be
tried, ard the courts would then decide
whether there was sun ,ient evidence
to convict, l do not say there are
dishonest district attorneys, but in my
opinion they should not be allowed to
act as lawyers for defendants, for this
is about what their recommendations
to me to withdraw suits amounts to.

ENCOURAGING IMMIGRATION

Several plans have been proposed in
in the legislature for the encourage
ment Of immigration. 1t Is generally
conceded that some encouragement lie
needed, and that Nebraska has de.
pended too much In the past upon the
railroad land Offices as bureaus for
the distribution of intelligence regard
ing the resources and development of
our state. The BEE believes that the
present legislature will do well to take
the subject into serious con-
alteration, and to make an
appropriation for the purpose
before the close of the session. The
point TO be considered Ia how the ap.
preparation is to be expended most
economically and judiciously and who
shall compile, pub.ish and distribute
the facts which are to attract new act.
tiers to out %unoccupied territory.
A good deal of talk is wasted upon
a state board Ct immigration. Such
a body would DO a useless and ex
pensive experiment. The money re.
| quired for the salaries of officials can
as well bo saved by placing the duty Ct
compiling and distributing statistics
regarding the advantages Of our state
as q home for immigrants, upon some
of our present state oficers. Mono cf
them are so overworked at present
that with a little additional help they
would be unable to perform the duty
satisfactorily. The eff % of the sec.
rotary Of state naturally suggests itself
as the most appropriate quarter from
which information. regarding Nebras-
ka's resources might properly come.
With q small appropriation Tor addi-
tional clerk hire, stationery and post.
age stamps, he could readily do all that
board of immigration would accom-.
plish and at half the cost, in the way
Of salaries. 1t is q serious question
whether q state board Ct immigration
would be constitutional, the off GERS
being In their nature executive. There
could be no objection to the extension
of the duties CT an executive of6,e al.
ready created and operative.
OF course there will be a howl
against this suggestion from the hon.
orable bilks who always favor the ere.
alton Of boards, committees and com.
missions In order to increase eff ,es
and patronage. 1t would give very
little opportunity for beer guzzling
agents at Castle Garden or heightened
aud h~igh.salaried translators at the
state capital. The appropriation
ought to be intended to attract immi-
grants not ofico' holders, and to add
more to the population of the state
than to the registers of Lincoln hotels.

The "Tenth Census" is a costly

information given the public has been
a series of hastily compiled bulletins
andincreasing'c calls for more funds "to
complete the work"
The huge job toisted on the PEG.
pie by Francis A. Walker and
handed over to the tender mercies of
Mr.. Ssaton, has already cost the treas.
ury department s., 503, 624. 81. The
original estimate which was considered
exorbitant, called for $S. 900, 900. And
now comes the superintendent and
asks for an additional appropriation OF
$1,000 o0 to put or the finishing
touches to the work. II will readily
be seen that 1t has cost the
people of the United States more than
ten cents a head for every man,
woman and child in the country.
There is no excuse for this monstrous
extravaganza. Congress has no right
to compile a decennial encyclopedia o.
American industry, printed on cream
laid paper and sumptuously bound, a
tho public expense. The object o
the census enumeration is to secure
basis for the apportionment Ct repre-
sentatives and taxes. II never wa
