GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS finds it
mighty cold weather in his new politi-

small boy in Arkansas whom neighbor
met one severe winter day riding to mill
on horseback in the old fashioned way.
The little fellow was very thinly clad,
the wind whistled through his tow
trousers, his lips were blue, his nose red
and his teeth were chattering. The
neighbor was moved to compassion and
suggested, "Why don't you get down
and walk and lead your horse till you

THE furry over the Texas cattle fever

subsidized and there is a feeling of great
relief, not only in this state, but in the
whole country, that it was false alarm
There is really nothing strange about
the appearance Of disease among such
vast herds Of cattle as are grazing on
the plains. It would indeed be strange
if great herds of cattle mingling togeth-
er and exposed to the inclemency of the
weather and changes OF climate, should
always remain healthy. They combat
the severest winter storms without shell
ter and often without food, and suffer
the torrid heat Of summer without a
wholesome or even d sufficient supply
OF water And when in the perpetual
struggle for existence some animal,
afflicted with disease, mingles closely
with the healthy. it is but natural that
among the thousands that come in con
tact with the diseased animal some of
weaklings are in condition to take the
infection. Just as soon however as the
proper precaution is exercised and the
diseased animals are either killed or iso-
lated, the danger of contagion is avert
ed and the ravagcs Of the plague" are
confined within narrow Emits.-Bec.

One Of the curious things about til

One Of the curious things about the
present political canvass is the brilIian-
cy with which it lights up the New
York crime of 1882 when Charles j.
Folger was so ANONYMOUSLY beaten in
the canvass for the Governorship. The
Inter Ocean is informed that the Rev.
Mr.. Ball and the Rev. Mr.. Mitchell
both Of whom are now bearing such i'm
p0rtant and earnest testimony against
Mr.. Cleveland S character showing its
moral worthlessness were most enthusi-
actically for that gentleman in 1882.
1t is said that DR.. Ball departed so far
from his usual custom as to stand at
the polls and peddle Cleveland tickets
on election Gay, while DR.. Mitchell pray
ed for his success against Folger 1t
is not the intention of this paragraph
to throw doubt on the veracity Of these
gentlemen OF discredit the stories they
now tell, for we fully believe them, but
to point out to the world the extremely
embarrassing position the high-toned
kickers are most apt to be placed in.
Grover Cleveland was just as unfit a
man for an honest voters ballot in 1882
as he is now: while everybody admits
that Judge Folger is one of the purest
men New York has given to public life,
yet these same gentlemen were then too
pure to vote for Folger, and laborcd
and voted and prayed for Cleveland. |
Very true it undoubtedly is that then
they did not know of this special feat
ure in Cleveland S character. Never
theless it was known in Buffalo, and |
the whole history Of the affair, legal
documents and all, was in the Office Of
one Of the republican journals of that
city, ready to be printed, but Folger's
friends refused to have it done They
saw the madness Of the opposition to
Folger, and let it have its own way. The
folly and scandal Of it is now seen, and
not many Of the actors in it, it is safe to
say, will repeat its like If we werc to
lraw any lesson from this it would be
that ministers, college professors and
men of that character are poor judges
IF public men and most unwise guides
n public affairs. The practical things
If life they lose sight of in pursuit OF
theories, and to rebuke friends whom
hey think have erred they join the
,ause Of the common enemy. Senti-
nent, passion and prejudice are too apt
o be the moving causes of their politi-
al action For guides in faith and ed
lcation they certainly should have the
preference, but for opinions of men and
'ubllc affairs we give preference to
hose who mingle with The world and
ave given such matters special study.

A CALIFORNIA man died fifteen years
ago in a state of exhileration from
drinking the red wine of that famous
state. His ghost has just returned
from the great beyond and informed a
friend still il the flesh that he was still
drunk, that as he went into the spirit
land so he was yet. Now if this is true
it is terrible revelation. If fellow
dies from starvation he must wander
through realms Of space for fifteen
years at least with the torture Of death
in his stomach. If he be sped away by
the kick OF mule, his somersaults will
be continued like those of wonderful
Tom Twist, spinning and spinning still.
Should he be sent into the atmosphere
by ali explosion and the spirit fee while
the body is ascending, the departed
must go on I'D and up for fifteen years,
until at last the bottom of strawberry
box would have a successful rival; or
if the descent had began before the
vital spark were cxtinguished, the soul
would go on falling and falling until it
would be qualified to sound the depths
of personal Journalism. The more this
thing Of the beyond is opened up the
less attraction there is about it. The
plain duty Of mankind is to 1--we as long
as possible and then depart in an order

THE intention Of the British Cover

THE intention of the British govern
ment to devote e150,0O0, 600 to build
ing railroads in India, SO as to get the
wheat OF Hindostan to market. and the
fact that that cereal can be raised by
cheap labor there and brought to Eng
land at lower rate than our farmers
can afford to sell it, is another warming
that the dependence Of our farmers
must be upon home market. India
wheat will never compete Ia the market
of the United States with American
wheat With proper Investigation
of industries, such as is sought to be
established by the American system of
protection to home labor, no foreign
market will be necessary except in cases
where the special products of this coun-
try can not be duplicated abroad. We
raise too much wheat now, and the at
tention Of the farmers should be turn
ed, in this part of the country, to corn,
hogs, cattle and sheep. Those are crops
that cannot be much affected by the
competition of the cheap labor of Eu-
rope or Asia. Journal.

AN interesting point has been raised
by Fremont saloon keeper who was
sued by an Omaha firm for s640, due
for liquors and cigars. The defendant
admitted that he owed $143 for cigars,
but denied that he was indebted for the
balance, which was for liquor, because,
as he claims, the Omaha house had no
license The matter was taken under
adyisement by the court. IF it should
be decided by the courts that debt for
liquor can not be collected by whole
sale liquor house unless it has license,
it will settle the question as to whole
sale liquor licenses, as no wholesaler
would then attempt to do business with
out license. This very question of the
exemption Of wholesale liquor dealers
from the high license law is now before
the supreme court, and will probably
come up for final decision in few days.
