All Caused by Monkeying.

1HTF U" usc0f Dy HVHNCyIHS'
Beatrice Democrat.
Money WAS made scarce in Nebraska, and
interests high, because of the absolutely un-
reliable disposition of our legislatures. They
are always monkeying with the usury laws,
and threatening foreign capital that seeks
investment, and while they rarely ever
make a change that disturbs values to any
extent. the continual agitation tends to keep
things unsettled. Again for the past few
years the extravaganza Of our lawmakers
tends to alarm eastern investors. This is the
reason that Kansas has had more foreign
capital to assist in its upbuilding, than Ne
braska has,

state remain as they are. They can not be
improved upon and are meeting all emergen-

Sizing Up a Judas.

GuHm fstuHd HmepeHdeHt'
A man who violates his pledge and betrays
his constituency is not to be respected by
any honest man, whatever may be his opin-
ion as to the cause to be effected by violation
and betrayal. Even those who profit by the
betrayal must, in their secret hearts at
least, hold the betrayer in contempt for his
dishonest method Of helping what they deem
a righteous cause. Beneath traitor there
is nothing. The vilesu reptile that crawls
the earth is king by the side of a Judas.

A Neglected Grave.


The grass grows rank and the grass grows

And the weeds grow too apace,-

Like one in grief to earth,-

And closely the MOSES green and brown
Cling to the dates of death and birth
The hedge untrimmed and the grass uncut,
The violets choked once blue
So blue!
The path is gone, and the gate that shut
With an iron clank has vanished too.
But red wild rose that no neglect
Or winters storm could blight or kill

Thou son or daughter blooms there still.

And hold the grass from the crum bling

DURATION OF LIFE.
People Live Longer Now Than They did

People Live Longer Now Than They did
in the Olden Times.
DR.. Todd, president Of the Georgia State
Medical society, read at the annual meeting
Of that body, held at Atlanta, paper on
Longevity" which possesses great intrinsic
interest and at the same time is gratifying as
showing how much medical and sanitary sci
ence and more rational mode of life have
done to prolong the human span, and how
much better in every way are the conditions
of today than of those good old times" for
the return Of which sentmentalists vainly
sigh
The doctor is modest in his claims, making
no effort to monopolize in the name of the
medical profession credit for a betterment in
which so many agencies play parts, but he
does claim, and with reason, that the intelli
gent physician has had much 10 do with the
result and that the death rates of the va
rious peoples of the globe bear a ratio very
nearly inverse to the number of qualified
physicians among them.
The highest death rate in Europe is that Of
Russia, ranging from 90 per LOCO in Cour
land and ~ per 1000 in the Baltic province,
there being many physicians in both districts,
to ~ i'll places where there are but few But
Russia reach the seventh year, and Of 1000
male children only from $50 to 400 reach the
age of twenty-one years. and of these only
$40 are able bodied Russia, with all its
teeming population, has only l5,il4 regular
physicians. and one surgeon to 100000 popula.
ton.
The United States, having doctor of med
icine for every GOO population, shows the
lowest death rate in the world, England fol,
lowing. The average life expectancy in the
United States is now fifty-five years; in Eng
land among the urban population it is fifty,
and among the ruralists ffty-four years.
Russians have life expectancy of but TWEEN
ty-eight years, approximately, and Chilans
Of the same, while in Ellobed, in the Soudan,
twenty-three years is generation The av-
erage life in the Rome of the Caesars was
eighteen years; now it is forty years Within
fifty years the average in France has in
creased from twenty-eight to forty-fve and
one-half years. and in the days of Queen
Elizabeth the English average was but TWEEN
y years
DR.. Todd ascribes the great and progressive
change for the better to advanced medical
knowledge, better drainage and diet. greater
cleanliness, and to vaccination and the use of
anasthetics, quinine and the like. He thinks
that quinine alone has added two years to the
average life of civilized man. To these
agencies should be added the decrease of war,
the more lenient laws, and the greater tenn
perance Of our day.-Chicago Herald.
