Enjoying Life.


OMAHA, NEB., October 27.--The ALI
America party has had day without a
tiresome fear. The sky from sunrise to sun
SET was without fleck of cloud. At IL
O'Clock the entire party mounted what are
here designated as Concord stages, seating
the nine people on top. There were six
horses before each stage, and the functions
OF living were exhilarated and gladdened by
the ride in the sunshine. The greatest
smelling works in the world were visited.
The ore, with its gold and silver ores, was
watched in the process Of disclosing them,
until at last a room was reached where the
silver and the gold lay in bricks. Fifty
six bars Of bright silver bricks were piled,
each worth 81 100. And upon the top of the
heap were three richly yellow Jumps ofgold.
signor Calyo, Of Costo Rica, lifted one with
some e1ertion, although only inches long,

wHAT are you going to do a'Jout it,

off the lethargy begotten Of too much
confidence, and roll up an old time ma

that the ticket viii 90 through ali right

that a year ago, and thereI.is.no reason
why it should not do sol.on the 9TH Of

Mr.. Mills was put forth in the last Con-
gress as the acknowledged leader Of his
party, and the special exponent Of MIR.
Cleveland's views on the tariff. Last fall
the country repudiated both of Mr.. Mills
and President Cleveland, and elected
General Harrison and Republican Con-
gress, and yet, Mills, the blatant, inso-
Iently proclaims that the minority IN
tends to control the legislation Of the
country.
1t is the generally accepted theory and
rule of this government that the msjori-
ty shall govern, and it will be interesting
to watch and see how the,new rule Of Mr.
Mills will he accepted by the coming
Congress. If he intends 10 make a
square fight 20 establish the theory that
the minority shall rule, he will doubtless
be met and vanquished, but if he pro
poses by fllibustering to prevent legis-
lation by the majority, it will be all the
worse for the party which Mr.. Mills again
proposes to lead. The contemplation Of
taking back seat in the next Congress:
goes hard with Mills; but, all the same
he will have to get used to it,

fitted to discharge the duties ofthe Office
That he will be elected, there is not the
least doubt, but it is important to the fu-
ture welfare Of the party that he should
receive the full party majority. In an
off-year this will be difficult TO accom-
plish, but if the Republicans of the

Let all who have the Republican cause
