A HOME BALLAD.

When you're sick and sorry of worldly things,
When figures alright, or writing pals,
When pride and desire have got them wings,
Home is heaven within four walls.
But when it is home that sharply calls
On the lover TO see his lass no more,
The chain of affection chafes and gals,
Aud home sweet home is ali awful bore.
When cheerily high the dinner bell rings,
And childish voices are heard in the halls,
When slippers the wife of your bosom brings,
Then home is heaven within four walls.
But whenever the butcher calls and calls,
And duns by the dozen beset your door,
The vision of happiness faints and falls,
Aud home sweet home is an awful bore.
When drear and deserted are shores and
springs,
When the crowds return as the rcd leaf
falls,
Unto some Of their hearts sweet voice sings
That home is a heaven within four walls.
But the end of the holidays some appalls,
And the man who serves in dry goods
store
Meath the stare OF his late love humbly
craWis-
All, home, sweet home is an awful bore.
ENvor
Whenever man tires of earthly brawls
Then home is heaven within four walls.
But the day may come, as I've said before,
When home, sweet home is an awful bore.

DOUBTFUL BENEFACTIoN.

Some citizen of New York, who wants
to put his benefactions into more pro-
ductive form than monumental piles,
has founded sixty permanent collegiate
scholarships for poor boys of the public
schools of that CITY. The fact that the
name of the donor is withheld from the
public is taken as an evidence that he is
a newspaper man, and the eye rests
upon PULITZER, of the World. Each
year twelve boys are to be selected and
given five years scholarship of $3.50
year, making an expense of $4,000 a
year. This is, of course, liberal and
philanthropie, but it may be doubted
that it will prove the most judicious
means of aiding the young men. Young
men who are lifted along by others
through collegiate courses, with little
or no effort of their own. are not apt to
have the energies developed that will
make them useful or self-Sustaining.
There is no real demand for supplies
in the professions. 1t would be better
to train the poor boys to become skilled
artisans

TO-DAY'S ELECTIONS.

The eyes of the nation will be resting
on the four new states to-day, to observe
how they acquit themselves in their
first attempt at self-government. 1t is
not matter of so much interest as to
which of the two political parties will
come out on top in to-day'S elections as
il is to learn how the voters of the en-
bryonic states will handle themselves in
their initial effort to exercise Sover-
eighty. This IS their trial election, and
if everything is done deeently and in
order. and according to the American
idea of conducting elections, they will
to-day carry off their diploma of state
hood. There is no reason to fear that
the people of any one of the quartette
of aspirants for statehood will fail OF
public expectation. Up to this time
every stage of preparation has been
made with consummate skill and tact,
and with an exhibition of wisdom and
discretion that would do credit to the
elder members of the federal family.
So that it is reasonably sure, after to-
davis work, all that will remain to be
done will be the formal announcement
from the president that the four new
stars have been added to the flag of the
Union.
In Montana and Washington, the con
test between the Democrats and Re-
publieans for control of the first state
governments will be close. 1t will be a
surprise if there is difference of 1000
votes between the two parties in.either
Montana or Washington, and with such
narrow margin it would be impossible
to forecast the result. In South Da-
kota the Republicans expect walk
over, and there is nothing in the situa-
ton calculated to diSappOint their eX-
pectations. In North Dakota the Re-
publicans have clear majority of sew
eral thousand votes on the basis of
the territorial vote in former days. But
there are some complications in the
situation which give the Democrats a
faint hope of winning. 1t is barely pos
SibIe that they may carry the legislature,
but we see nothing to justify the hope
of electing the state ticket. Still an
election in a new country is one of
those things that no man can count
on. and to-day's poll may be full of

Overpun With Scrubs.

j. ID. FL. Painter, travelling freight
agent of the Omaha, speaking of the
condition of affairs along their line, said
yesterday: 81 never saw prospects
better. There has been enough rain
for blowing, though not nearly enough
for the cattle. Farmers are devoting
their time to blowing instead of bring
ing their wheat to market, ana the effect
of this will be good prices for the wheat
and good foundation for next years
crop. While the absence of rain has
been little hard on the stockmen, the
result Will in the end De most benefi-
eial. This whole Northwest has been
overrun by poor scrub cattle. These
are being marketed as rapidly as posi-
BILE. and their places will be taken by
better class, as the stoekmen have be-
gun to realize that it pays better to keep
good than scrub cattle"

OVEP-MOKTGAGED.

Iu view of the exceptionally large
crops reported in Kansas this year, it is
somewhat surprising to see the state
ment that the Farmers Loan and Trust
company of that state is in abad way. 1t
has done big business loaning money
OH farming lands, and in consequence
is said to be in dropping condition,
though it has not failed. The funds
were loaned to those who had no other
security to give except their farms
which were mortgaged to it at 10 per
cent. The embarrassment of the CON-
pany is attributed to the fact that the
farms would not bring at forced sale
the amount of the mortgages. The
crops were the real reliance, but they
could only be available in good years.
When they were scanty, as they have
frequently been of late years, the
farmer was compelled to absorb them
in his living expenses and paying the
big interest. Kansas, on this showing,
can not be regarded as an agricultural

A SURPLUS REFORMER.

There is really some indication that
CHAUNcEY NJ. DEPEw is coming over
to the Democratic party. He has made
sufficient progress in that direction to
be able to stand squarely on the Dem
ocratic platform, and to tell his Repub-
lican friends that they will make a
grievous mistake if they do not get over
there, too. In his speech in the Sara
toga convention, Mr.. DEPEw sailed into
the surplus humbug with ungloved
hands. He said 1.-The surplus is not
money to be trified with or squandered;
it represents unnecessary taxation"
That is precisely what the Democrats
have been saying all this time. 1.-THE
surplus must be stopped, not spent, !"
shouted Mr.. DEPEw. as he warmed up
to his subject in an endeavor to veer
the New York Republicans around
to the right side of the tar
if question. There is no evil
dence that Mr.. DEPEw's fervent
appeal had any effect on his audience,
for they were so joined to their idol
they passed a resolution reaffirming the
Chicago platform. Still, it is a gratifi-
cation to know that a man of Mr..
DEPEw's quick perception and enlight-
ened understanding can see the drift of
public sentiment sufficiently clear to be
able to warn his party of the dangerous
consequences of their high tariff cru
SADIE. Mr. DEPEw is statesman enough
to know that the American people can
not forever be deceived as to the conse
quences of the tariff humbug. They
are capable of telling the difference be-
tween hawk and a buZzard. and con-
sequentIy it is idle to attempt to deceive
them into the belief that extravagant
surplus spending creates real necessity
for the continuance of excessive taxa
ton.

SPLITTING Up.

1t is not good year for Republican
orators to change fields, at least in the
Eastern states. At the convention in
Massachusetts last week the Repub-
lieans declared for a reduction of duties
to meet the changed conditions of New
England industries. The meaning of
this is found in the petition headed by
Gov. AMES, and signed by the iron man
ufacturers of New England. 1t means
free iron ore. free coal, and very little,
if any, duty on pig iron. 1t also will be
taken to mean a reshaping of the tariff
on WOODS i'm the interest of the manu-
faeturer. 1t is not platform at all
adapted to the party creeds in Pennsyl-
yania or Ohio, and when the New Eng
land members go down to congress with
their new instructions and demands,
the representatives Of Pennsylvania
iron and coal and Ohio wool will not be
found looking their way. If the New
England men are in earnest they will
have an uncomfortable time with the
other fellows.

AN ORATORICAL CONTEST
between the two gentlemen. Chairman
Walker stated the case. He said that
the Chicago & Alton road had been q
member of the railway association until
July Is OF this year. He explained the
methods of stock shipping from Kansas
City to Chicago, which cities he termed
the centers of the cattle trade. Through
rates are made from shipping points in
the West through Kansas City to Chi
cago with privilege of a stop-eyer in
Kansas City. If cattle are not sold
there the unsold remainder are sent to
Chicago on the original billing. lat

ton of trade has become such that

result IS that line cars are largely I'M.

pany was an organization of cattle
growers, made for the purpose of ship
ping cattle. This company" he said,
"has made contracts with the Alton
road to use 400 of their cars, for which
it is to pay S6 per month rental. 1t is in
the nature of rebate. If all lines
should do the same it would destroy
trade" Attorney Brown responded at

A Fake of the FIRST Water.

The report that a company will build
railroad from the Canadian Sault to
Hudson bay may be set down as a
canard. 1t is smiled upon incredulously
in railroad circles. There was scheme
to build a road from Winnipeg to Hud-
son bay-a much more feasible route.
There was never more than a paper
road, the plans being drawn by scflem-
ing politicians for effect. There is no
doubt but that the latter road could be
built across the prairies with ease. but
the evident absence of reason for such
road and the impossibi!ity of getting
any business on the frozen shores of
Hudson bay, preclude the possibility of
such a road being built. The other
scheme, however, is even wilder. Those
who are familiar with the wilderness of
rocks and forests which lie for hundreds
of miles north of the Sault, would laugh

the profits of which the financial repu-

is evidently promising one, and should
commend itself to those who follow the
