THE Kehoe bill, requiring railroads to
furnish cars with double decks, for the
purpose of enabling the shipper to load
the number of pounds of live stock, such
rs hogs and sheep, as is usually charged
for, is a measure that ought to be passed.
Double-deck cars are in use on eastern
railroads, and we see no reason why they
should not be used on Nebraska railroads.

stock gamblers Will continue 10 create III
fStion, and finally there Will come q
panic as the consequence. 1t will be the
same old story over again. Suppose that
the government actually lost the money.
The patrons would not then have to pay
extortionate taxes. But why doesn't the
government DO its duty In this matter.
Why does it not compel the s~tockholder'
to make good the cash difference between
the money paid in and the par value oil
tina stock2
All this talk about innocent stock
holders and the widows and orphans ID
the merest bosh. Anybody who has in
vested the money of widows and
orphans in such stock as the
Union Pacific is scoundrel.
An honest man does not invest trust
funds in such securities. Those who
purchased the stock of the road bought il
with their eyes wide open and with all
the conditions attached to 1t. Let us
ask if the government has done anything
to aid the investors In Wabash stock
The orphans and widows that we hear SO
much about and for whom 30 much sym.
patty is expressed by certain parties are
principally relatives of such men as Ames
and his associates, who made millions out
of the Union Pacific stock and left it to
their heirs. But the government direc-
tors say that the stockholders have al
most entirely changed since 1876. In
other words there no innocent
stock holders to-day, if there
were prior to 1875. Gould had
control in 1876 ana has had ever since.
With the knowledge of this mans char.
acter and his operations ever since the
days of Erie 1t will hardly do for anybody
now to plead "innocent holdings" No
n can honestly do that who has pur-
chased stock In any company controlled,
managed or influenced by Jay Gould and
his friends. The Union Pacifc's W

holders, 2 346 are women, and 1927 are
trustees and guardians, but the 2.346
women hold only 5S,01G shares, and the
trustees and guardians only 9,672 shares,
a total of but 67,6SS shares out of 6OS,-
$50. jay Gould is believed to own at least
loo, 900 shares at the present time. Mr..
Gould is buying back at low figures what
he uuloaded at high prices. 1t will be
seen that the widows and orphans are not
very heavy holders of Union Pacific, and
who are losers have simply been
by Jay Gould. Is the govern
ment expected to make good the losses
that have been caused by JeyGould2 If
80 1t would soo have an empty treasury.
The government has but one duty to per-
form, and that Is to treat Jay Gould as it
would any other highway man. The same
Kind of justice should be dealt out to him

The Irish members of the British Par
Lament are not, as a general thing, over
burdenedisw with wealth, and find 1t less
easy to support the dignity of the posi-
tion without pay than many of their more
fortunate English associates. This kuowl.
edge has prompted a movement among
the Irish-Americau citizens of Cincinnati
for the creation of a fund to aid In the
support of the Irish Parliamentary mem
beers. Major Byrnes has taken the
initiative In the matter. He proposes
an organization to be called the Amer
ican-Irish Parliamentary club, by which
10000 persons in the United States are
to pay So per annum each toward the
support of the Irish members of Parlia,
ment so long as the constitutional meth
DDS of Mr.. Parnell are maintained.
Major Byrne asks that an interest may
be taken in his scheme by all classes Of
people, and expects the response to be
generous, as it probably will be.

Cooper in the principal parts. The story is
we'll known, and is taken from the opera of that
name.
The two comedies which Mr. Barrett is playing
this season, THE Kings Pleasure and 1.-THE
Wonder" constituted the bill when David Gar
rick made his farewell appearance on the stage.
Dir. Barrett has revived them with much
success.
French musician has succeeded IN making a
musical instrument of pebbles. 1t is we'll known
that certain pebbles, if struck with another
stone, give forth pure, clear tone; but they are
very rare, and Mr. Baudre was obliged to wait
thirty years before his search was rewarded by
his securing twenty six pebbles representing the
tones and semitic of two octaves. de suS-
pended the pebbles sounding board, and
has placed this instrument on exhibition IN
Paris. The most peculiar thing about these
musical pebbles is, that the tone is independent
of their size. Thus. in Baudr-s instrument the
pebble which emts the deepest tone weighs four
pounds. and the one next to it eight pounds, the
following one pound. and SO quite irregular
ly. These pebbles must be struck at a certain
place. and if they break the fragments emit no
tone at all.

'"NIe stranger! own good part O that kentry,

"Say, stranger" he resumed, after biting off a
piece of Kentucky twist half as big as a pound
of wool. "how many cattle would you think 1
owned?"
The little man sized him up a minute and
SAID as a venture, "'Bout two"

children. Shortly after the birth of his children
he took to drink and by dissipation soon lost all
his little property. He treated his wife badly
and finally deserted her entirely. failing to pro-
vide anything for the support of her and their
children.
Whisky gained such hold on johnson that
he was totally regardless of consequences, and
spent all his time about the saloons. Mrs John

Love and Fantasy.

Beside clear and laughing stream
Young Love sat pensively,
And long he gazed into the brook,
And many sigh sighed he.
"Alone, alas! am I" sighed Love,
And Love alone is dree,
Oh who will hitheT come" cried Love,
And keep me company" q
The zephyrs came, with light caress,
Soft humning came the bee,
And sweet the birds above him sang.
'Oh, Love, we'll bide with thee"
And all the rustling grasses sighed,
Low murmure6 every tree,
The ripling waters tuneful asked,
Are we not company"
But Love, impatient, turned away;
"Ah, no! ah, no.' said he;
~ OF such, not such, my heart doth crave
To keepit company.
''Yet know I not what it would have.
An, mel what can it be!
If only it would come" sighed Love,
And looked up YEARLY.
just then maid-ye gods how fair!
What grace, what charm had she!-
Came slowly through the swaying trees;
Love straightway bent the knee.
