The Time for Political work.

Hon. John VI. Thurston, of Nebraska,
has recently returned TO Omaha from
meeting i'm New York OF the Executive
Committee of the Republican League OF
the United States, of which he is Presi-
dent lie says Republcanism is very
much alive i'm the East, and thae every
thing points to Republican revival
throughout the country lie predicts
that the annual convention of the Re-
publican League. To be held in Cincin-
natl, will be one Of the greatest political
gatherings ever held i'm the United States,
and will sound the keynote for the Presi-
dental campaign of 1892. OF the League
itself he says:
at was formed for the purpose of per-
hitting that individual participation I'm
political organization by the young men
of the country which they faxed to get
through the regular party machine. It
is bound to be the great political engine
in 1892. The country is fully organized,
and although the various clubs are some
what quiet, between times. they are all
ready to pitch in just as soon as there is
a chance for work.
Mr.. Thurston is in a good position to
Judge as to the spirit and morale of the
party, and Republicans everywhere will
be glad TO read his encouraging report
on this point. No doubt the future has
great victories in store for the grand old
party.
But there rs one thing in Mr.. Thurs
tons statements that we do not like. We
refer TO the declaration that the Repub-
lican clubs "are all ready TO pitch in just
rs soon as there is chance for work. I"

time TO pitch in is now. Mr.. Thurston
must not suppose that the young men
are all on one side, or the clubs either.
There are a great many of both on the
Democratic side, and they are wide awake
and hard at work. The Republican work
for the next Presidential campaign ought
To be going on now and well advanced.
If the next campaign Is TO be one OF in
teligence and education, IL should be in
progress now. IL will be great and
perhaps fatal mistake to put 1t of until
the nominations are made. Between
now and next fall, and during all OF next
winter, the country should have such a
bombardment OF good Republican litera-
ture as il never had before. The time To
work is now. The party that waits for
"a chance TO work" until the nomina-
tions are made will have waited too
long. The Presidential campaign OF
1892 will have been lost or won long be-
fore the election. -IndidndpOlis Journal.

TWO YEARS OF HARRISON.
just Few Words Concerning tho Present
Administration.

The administration OF President Har-
rison is half finished. Standing at this
point, the dividing line between the two
years past and the two years TO come,
we may look both ways. We know what
the past has been, and can form a pretty
correct estimate rs To what the future
will be.
The character of the administration Is
already formed and fixed, and there Is
no danger of its undergoing any ma
terial change. IL is simple Justice 10
say that the country never had better
1t possesses every element that patriotic
Americans, proud of their country and
chiefly interested in maintaining the dig
nifty, honor and credit of the govern
ment, should wish an administration TO
have. No more conscientious President
ever occupied the White House, or one
whose every act showed more studious
desire to administer his high Office
according to the Constitution and for
the welfare of all the people. 1t is
an honest, able. digniied, clean, bust
ness-like and patriotic administration.
And such it will continue to be as
long as President Harrison remains
at the head of the Government. There
have been no scandals connected with
il Every department is ably admins
tered and every interest of the people
carefully served. It's foreign and do
nestle policy is pre-emincntly Ameri-
can. Many notable things have already
been achieved, and many more are likely
TO be during the next two years. The
victories of this administration are not
merely nor primarily partisan victories.
They are victories for the country and
for the American people.
When President Harrison was inau-
gurated experienced politicians said his
first year would be his hardest. They
were right All the time, however, the
President was equal to the situation and
master OF it. All the time, too, the peo-
pie were getting better understanding
of his motives and methods of action,
and the more they understood the better
they liked them. From his on the adj
ministration will have comparatively
plane sailing, and the President and his
able helpers can devote themselves with
unhampered energy TO the public SER
vice. -IndidnGpoli journal.

but retired TO the Lieutenant Governor
room before the session, which was very
brief. closed. Neither party knew Just what
move would be made by the other. but when
the order OF motions and resolutions was
reached Senator Crocker (Dem.) offered "A
resolution that the Committee on the con-
tested election case of Friedlander vs..
Morse be relieved from further cOnsidera-
tion OF the case. Then the storm broke
and for ten minutes the chamber was
a bowling mob. A half dozen Republican
Senators were on their feet demanding rec
ignition; Democrats were shreking upon
points OF order, while the President finally
declared the resolution adopted One Sem
ator left his seat and going almost within

that any man who declared the resolution

Cast-Iron Bricks"

Most of the building materials now
in use have been employed with great
Ell or less skill for thousands of years.
Since primitive man discovered the
adaptability of stone, wood, and burned
bricks composed of clay and sand for
house-building, no equally useful
building material has been added to
the list. According to the american
Furniture Gazette, a German me.
chanic has recently patented an inven.
ton which has certainly many advan-
tages over the old-fashioned brick OF
clay, though use may not prove it to
be in all respects superior.
It's practical design and ingenuity
are characteristic of the modern ten
dency of inventions. Ii is in the form
and of about the size of an ordinary
brick, but is composed of cast iron and
is hollow.
The shell is so thin that the brick
weighs less than one made of clay. A
wall is built of such bricks without
the use of mortar, and no skilled labor
is required in laying them. The upper
and lower sides of the bricks are pro
vided with grooves and projecting
ribs, which tit into each other easily
and perfectly, aud form a wall OF
great strength.
There are also two large circular
openings III the upper side of each
brick, arranged so as to receive pro-
jections on the lower side of the brick
that is to be placed above it. One OF
these projections is hook-shaped,
which insures solid hold. A wall oil
the bricks is very quickly put together.
After the wall is built it is covered
with paint. This closes all the cracks,
renders the wall alright, and pre-
vents the bricks from rusting. BY
the use of good paint the wall can be
made highly ornamental. The bricks
are very durable, and building made
of them is perhaps as nearly fire-proof
as possible.
A wall thus constructed can be
taken down or rebuilt as readily as ii
can be put up. There is no mortar to
be removed, as there is when
clay bricks are used. 4 house
with such walls is cool in sum-
mer and warm in winter, for the large
air spaces prevent the passage of heat.
With supply of such bricks man
can put up his own house. and he en-
tirely independent of bricklayers, NOR
tar-mixers and hod-carriers. If he
does not like his house, he can take it
down and build another with the same
material, which is always as good as
new.

A prominent Democrat in Washington
is quoted as saying:
81 do not think the tariff is going to
make much eXcitment for year; we
discount everything so fast in this
country that affairs have already ar
ranged themselves to the Mckinley
tariff, and as the opposition to it re-
suited in Democratic Congress, the
next thing the Democrats will get at
will be TO tranquilize the country until
the Presidential election"

laba loo that was raised about the Nc
Kiney bill last fall was false pretense
and will not be tried again. The powder
has been fired once 1t is probable that
circumstances will compel the Democrats
TO make the next fight on tariff lines, but
the conditions will be very different from
what they were last fall.
