Arecent writer combats the idea that
the county is in dangerfrom Plutocracy,
OF the money power, because fortunes
are sure to be divided up ct the death
of the owner, and the heirs in most
cases squander the great fortune much
more rapidly than it was accumulated.
The moral reason at the bottom is not
in the least obscure. The fortune
maker is nerved to lay aside his gains
by the memory Of early hardships and
privation. The heir knowing moth
ing Of these trials, has no concep-
ton of the value of money, and &C.
cordingly wastes it. The writer con-
cludes that no aristocracy thrives per-
manently except n that is based on
land. 1t must be possessed also of mem
tai or physical endowments superior to
that of the common run of men. In
the rudest phases of society the aristo-
crat is the heaviest fighter. If he is to
hold his own in these days, he must be
intellect ually superior to his fellow
men, and then again, the asse ssor, the
common school, and the ambitions for
political preferment, the latter depend
ing wholly on the favor of the people,
are too much for the long life of aris-

Professor =. D. Cope, of Philadel-
phia, recently returned from the west,
writes that the bison, the elk, and other
of the larger game animals of this coun-
try. are approaching determination.
The elk, has been eliminated from the
confines of civilization, and exists only
i'll the forests; and the bison, unable to
hide his giant frame upon the open prai-
RE, is nearer to extinction than any Of
his smaller co-suferers. Ofthe bison, I've
says: The once huge southern herd
has been reduced to q few animals in
northwestern Texas. The Dakota herd
numbers only some $4,000 head, num-
Der which will soon be reduced to zero
if the present rate of determination con-
tinues. The Montana herd is now the
object of relentless slaughter, and will
soon follow the course of the other two
herds" These bands are about all that
is left out of the countless millions that
once roved the plains. 1t is supposed
by many that the game in the Yellow
stone Park is preserved; but reliable ao-
counts assert that it is not.

CONGREGATIONS in Maine.

A late dispatch from Bangor says: Almost
all CT Northeast Maine is in flames. A dispatch
from Patten says the air is full of cinders and
ashes. The sun is obscured and the horizonis
limited by day, and night is made grand and
terrible by the distant roar of the great con-
tiagration and the glare of great seas of flames.
One great fire has for weeks been sweeping
the country between the 81. John and Alegosh
rivers. Another big blaze between Greenville
and the west branch of the Penobscot has been
burning for ten days. Last Sunday a third
fire started on the Wassattaquoik, andis sweep
ing the timber land north between townships 4
and s. The damage can hardly be reckoned.
The fires are fed by the great tracts of timber
blown down by the terrible gales of last fall.

DR.. George T. WEIGH, of Keyport,
New Jersey, in the Medical Record, Wig
orously protests against the extrav-
agant and almost universal application
of drugs for every malady and form of
disease. He tells us that the medical
scientist is skeptical of all drugs, and
that medicine has achieved her most
glorious renown in the prevention, not
in the cure, Of disease; and he boldly
declares that, "even to be liberal in a
large sense, if certain drugs like opium
quinine, iodine, phosphorus, iron, ether
strychnia and aconite were rescued, the
whole nauseous bulk of the rest might
be in the fiat seas sunk, and the death
rate rise no higher. The trouble
is, the writer asserts that medi-
cal thought runs too much
towards Specifics" Proof of the ten
dency of natural recovery isnot lacking
in the wonderful cures that have been
handed down by drugs which present
enlightenment show to have no remedial
virtues whatever, and "the decrdence
of once popular remedies must lead us
to suspect the disappearance of many
which are now highly esteemed"

The courts throughout the country
seem to be tightening up the law of IL
bel in a way that renders the publica-
ton of ordinary news somewhat danger
u s The latest move in this direction
is by the supreme court of Massachu-
sets in an action to recover damages
for the publication of an alleged libel of
and concerning plaintiff, in the
Boston Herald, the same consist
ing in publishing a petition for
the removal of plaintiff from the bar
before any action had been tax en- or
hearing had upon the same. The de-
cision was against the newspaper, and
the court decided that the publication of
preliminary written statements or CON-
plants may be libellous, etc. cit would
be carrying privilege farther than we feel
prepared to carry it, to say that by the
easy means of emitting and filing it in
a couse a sufficient foundation might
De laid for scattering any libel broad
cast with impunity." Western courts,
as a rule, are not inclined to restrict the
liberty of tie press to the extent of the
Eastern, though they seem to be NOV
ing in the same direction.

Judges and Jurymen," is the title
OF an able paper in the North Ameri-
can Review for July, from the pen Of
Judge Pitman of the superior court
of Massachusetts,. Trial by jury,
he thinks, is not yet outgrown,
though murmurs against it are heard
more frequently Of late than formerly.
1t has had great value as an educational
influence. AS de Tocqueville says, "it
teaches men to practice equity; every
man learns to judge his n%eighbor as he
would himself be judged, and this is the
soundest preparation for free institu-
ton" He gives some leading features
of jury Judgment which he thinks are
liable to be more correct than the judg-
ment of ajudge. Active and busy men of
various occupations are clearly better
qualified to decide what an average
man would do than a single Judge of
%sedentary pursuits, accustomed to re-
Election and caution, can be. One OBJ
lection to compelling the court
to try questions of fact would be
that, as Judge Pltman thinks, it
would impair the confidence
of litigants in its impartiality.
The judge in deciding questions of
law speaks from superior knowledge,
and the litigants accept his Judgment as
probably sound and as subject to COR
rection if wrong, by the highest court,
but in deciding questions of fact he must
come to conclusions upon matters in re-
gard to which the laity think themselves
as we'll informed and as competent to
form a judgment as he, and an opinion
which they think wrong they would too
readily ascribeto partially orprejudice.
Juries being necessary, Judge Pitman
thinks they a be greatly improved by
more care in their selection, their own
treatment in various respects, and the
removal of the requirements of unanim-
ity in civil cases. The Judge thinks
that the agreement of ~three-fourths of
the jury, with the approval of the court,
ought to be sufficient in civil cases, and
in this opinion, as in his other SUCCESS
lions, the public will agree with him,
while they will most strenuously oppose
the clamor of thoughtless journalists
for the abolition of the jury system.

The PROVISION for the Missouri river co,
mission is retained.
Diplomatic and other Changes.

recent Washington Special Telegram Says:
There has been considerable shifting around
in the diplomatic service. Congressman
Kasson of Iowa goes to Germany to see if he
can get along with the great chancellor, and
takes with him a natural aptitude and long
experience i'll diplomacy. Ex-Attorney Gen
cral Taft is transferred from Austria to
Russia, and John NJ. Francis, of the Troy
Times, is promoted from Portugal to Austria.
Mr.. Francis would nave been sent to st.
Petersburg but for the fact that New
York already has one tirst-class
mission. Lewis Richmond of Rhode
Island goes to Portugal in the place Of
Mr.. Francis. The appointments for Alaska
were also made to-day, and Andrew 7. Lewis
of Cannon's district, Illinois, is make clerk
OF the court. Frank Sperry, who is private
secretary to the secretary of the treasury. is
appointed one of the justices for Dakota and
Leonard Smith of Iowa is the other. This is
a great disappointment to Delegate Ray
mond, who earnestly urged George P. Elan
merry and George H. Hand, who were we'll en-
dorsod by the bars Of their respective dis
tricts. George Turner of Alabama is made
associate justice of Washington Territory.
He was the chairman of the Alabama dele
SaGlOu W JIG CulCaRO CONVENTION.
In the long list OF the appointments sent
to the senate to-day there is one which Gre
ates considerable amusement, that OF Frank
Sperry, to be associate justice of Dakoka.
Sperry is a young man OF about twenty-five
years, but his youthful face and diminutive
stature make him appear as a mere boy. He
has delicate little mutton-chop side whiskers,
which look as though they were the first at
tempts at sprouting a beard. He is alto
gether a very insignificant looking youth.
He was admitted to practice ut the New
York bar two or three years ago, but through
the influence OF George Bliss was appointed
private secretary to Secretary Folger. Con-
s%equently he has had no experience in the
practice OF the law. 1t is said that he has
been very faithful to the wishes of George
Bliss, and that he has regularly reported to
Bliss the private movements of Folger.
There does not appear to be any objection to
the young gentleman aside from his youth
and inexperience. The appointments of
Kasson, Kent and Francis are gener-
ally commended. Seward Smith,
who has been appointed u.s.
sociate justice of Dakota. is lawyer of Des-
Moines, with a practice of twenty years. He
is said to be u man of ability and high stand
ing at the bar. Mr.. Byers, who has been up
pointed consul general at Rome, has been
for several years consul at Zurich, Switzer-
land, and his nomination is a deserved pro-
motion. Byers is the author Of the song

Tempest and Death in Nebraska.

A severe windstorm approaching a hurricane
visited the eastern part of Nebraska last We'd
nesday night. 1t was severely felt here, and
was tile third storm of the kind within a week.

Wanstoff, Company E.. Fourth infantry, on their
way from the city to Fort Omaha, were struck
by a falling tree. Wanstofr had both legs
broken, and Gardner was SO badly in
GUS fences, trees, etc, were blown down. At
Fremont, forty miles west, the storm was more
severe. The streets and sidewalks were blocked
with broken trees. The park was nearly des-
troyed. Enos hotel was unroofed, as was also
the court house. Kittle's large warehouse was
entirely demolished,
