1t is a mistake to suppose that the
fynching of the eleven Italians i'll New
Orleans the other day was the result of
a national prejudice against the people
of Italy. 1t was nothing of the kind.
Some there are no doubt who are mar
row and small minded enough to hate a
man because of his nationality but they
are SO insignificant both in members and
intelligence that like all other excep-
tions they only prove the rule. An It
allan is as good as any other man, when
he is as good and not otherwise. The
same is true of men of every other ma
tionality. The intelligence and worth
of the American nation never blames a
man because of his foreign birth. ma
ton of people, the majority of whom are
only one or two removes from foreign
ancestory cannot afford to be so snob-
bish. The only real American is the
American Indian. We are all foreigners
No country on earth ever disgraced any
body; but thousands have disgraced
their country and this is emphatically
true of those eleven bloody cut throats
whom the righteous wrath of offended
justice would not suffer to any longer to
polute the earth.

PessiMlsM.

Along heeheekered fo1tworn road of nfs
A youthful traveller vends his onward Way;
Nov viewing unconcerned some scene ofEEffe,
Or lettering near where happy children pRsIs
Unnindfrd he of Others hopes and fears
Careless he WandeIs on the lesSening years
When sunbeams clothe in beauty all tl,s Aarth ~
Changing to tiny stars the grassy dew
And wake the fragrant flowers to instant birth
Painting each petal with rainbow hue;
Beneath some shade the youth, rePosing i5es,
And dreams that an the worlds paradise.
Warm in his feelings generous IN thought,
He greets his felloWIneu with kindly grace;
Suspec wrong, believes in all he's taught,
And sees friend in every smiling face;
Imagines truth within the fatterer's breast
And thinks that virtue lives IN all the rest
But soon the path way narrows' rough and steep,
The gathering clouds thick brooding darkness
shed:
The hghtnings flash, the winds around hinaSSeep,
And rending thunders crash above his head; .
Painting before the blast he breathes q curse
And thinks tyrant rules the universe
Alas! how rude the shock experience brings;
How sad the loss OF faith IN human kind!
The gIIlelesS notes that only meInory sings
But wake the wish that Fate has heft Blind
The youth discovers truth to be part,
And virtues forms but specimens OF art.

IF the eyes are the windows of the
soul then it's door must be the laugh,
which gives q very good view of the
private character every now and then.
There are men the latch string of whose
laughter is always out. They have wide
open, generous laughs, which show a
hearty, whole souled disposition, with
out affectations and readiness to offer
good fellowship to the stranger. Then
there is a laugh which reminds one of
those new tangled doors to which a
chain is attached, permitting an open
ing just wide enough to allow very
meager glimpse of the person behind the
door. This is the guarded laugh. 1t be-
trays the cool, calculating man, who
makes money faster than he makes
friends.
Sometimes one runs across a door
which flies open with the slightest pro-
vocation. Its catch is defective. Some
people laugh that way. Their laughter
is frequently described as giggle. The
intellectual furnishings of the character
behind such a laugh are hardly worth
the looking at, although it is the easiest
matter in the world to see them. They
are meager, and invariably have dis
tressing air of newness which indicates
that they are not often used.-Bufalo

A dispatch from Washington dated
March 18th, informs us of decision
made by Secretary Noble under the new
public land act of March 8, 1891, which
is of considerable Importance to the peo-
pie of this and adjoining counties. The
case involves the right to cut timber
from the public lands, when the timber
so cut is for ones own personal use.
Cyrus P. Rawson of Bishop, California,
was charged with unlawfully cutting
747 900 feet of lumber from public lands
in that state. The record showed that
Rawson has used 1000 feet manu-
factured into lumber, for improving his
own ranches, by building barns, houses,
fencing ETC., and that the remaining
l67 900 feet had been sold to others.
Rawson had made proposition to pay
the government for the lumber he had
sold but contended that he was entitled
to what he had cut for his own use.
Secretary Noble sustained the view OF

Breaking 1T Gently.

In the province of Holstein, noted for
its superior breed of cattle, the country
people are not only very thrifty but ex-
ceedingly fond of their cows, as may be
gathered from the following characters
tic story:
Farmer Jan was walking sadly down
the road one day when the village pas
tor met him.
''Why so sad, Farmer Jan?' said the
pastor.
'Ah, l have sad errand, pastor -
said Jan.

pasture, and l am on my way to tell
him.

A SCHOOL LAW AMENDMENT.

A law was passed by the last legisla-
tion that will put an end to the difficulty
that many school districts experienced
last year in dealing with the snrplns left
during the year in which the ,appropria-
tion was made. 1t will be remembe
that an act was passed in the session of
1889 making it compulsory for the school
districte to use all the monies coming
into their hand from the state and
county fund during the year of its dis
tribution. The law has been so amended
that all monies so left over and not used
are to be returned to the county treasur-
er and the same shall be added to the
school funds on hand and be redistribued
to the various districts of the county.
The law is eminently proper. 1t will
stop the turning OF school districts into
private banking institutions and insure
the use of each years appropriation for
the purpose for which it was intended
during the year of its distribution. The
poorer districts will not suffer by the
new law. AS rule they could always
proftably use more money than they re-
ceive and if the richer districts do not
from any causy so use up the yearly ap
preparation the poorer ones during the
following year will reap the benefit of it
in the Redistribution.

New Vegetables.

The soil of Nebraska surely exhibits
some queer freaks as a result of dry
weather, if the little fellow mentioned
below is to be believed.
An almost total failure of crops caused
the display ol farm products at county
fair in western Nebraska to be very
limited this year. Little George had
been to the fair with his papa, and came
home disgusted, and exclaimed, with
much indignation:
"Why, mamma, there wasn't single

It is not often that a lawyer receives

What Killed Him.

A typographical error is thus accoun-
ted for by the Whiteside Herald:
COmpOsitOr: That new reporter spells
''victuals'' ''v-i-t-a-l-s."
Foreman: Yes, he's fresh. Make it
right, and put the item in here. We
must get to press in just three minutes.
The item was put in place, and this is
the way the public read it:
'The verdict of the coroner's jury was
that the deceased came to his death
from the effects of gunshot wound in
his victuals."

In paper before the Royal Statistical

the armies of the British Empire includ-

$177 SOC, 900 year. The German army
costs about $167 ,5OO, 900, and the French
about $140,000,000. Furnishing these
vast sums is what keeps the producing
poor pay on this account too. In Amer

Carroll, prominent although illiterate
farmer, presented a petition signed by

praying that he be hanged and that the
day be speedily appointed for the event.
1t turned out that Carroll was road

asked DIR. James Cox to draw up paper
to that effect Cox knowing that Carroll
could not read drew up petition praying

Indiana Officials Discover Huge Bal.
ance In Their Favor.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 30.-John w
Coons, formerly deputy auditor of Indi
ana, was sent to Washington by Gov.
ernor Hovey several weeks ago to learn
why the state had not been paid $40, ,00(
due on the old war loan claims.
He instituted an investigation which
has resulted III the discovery that there
is really $500, 900 due Indiana, and as.
surances have been given by the gov.
ernment officials in authority that the
amount will be paid. A detailed report
of the investigation will be made public
In day or two.
The investigation has disclosed some
very remarkable frauds. One voucher
in favor of well known physician foI
$53.7O was raised by unknown parties tC
$3.50 and collected. That this money
was paid is certain, but who the bene!
ficiaries of the swindle are, if such they
are. or whether the money was received
by the state is not known.
Governor Hovey does not say that the
exact amount due the state is $500, ,000
He intimates that it is more When
asked about the matter he said:
''If the claims of the state for war tax,
interest and national road affairs were
paid the amount in total would not be
less than 81 ,000, ,O00."
The discoveries of Mr.. Coons have
opened the eyes of the Washington off
cials and they have instituted an inyes-
tigation which will, it is believed, dis
close extensive frauds.

where all others had failed. The oppo-
sition is dependent entirely upon Bolivia
and the United States for provisions.
The government of Balmaceda has sue
ceeded in nearly controlling the south
ern ports, but loads of -four and hay
come from San Francisco, am sorry to
say. We ought not to foster this oppo-
sition party.
"They represent elements totally an
tagonistic to our notions of republic,
they are the exponents of plutocracy, of
British capital and French customs, they
are the enemies of commercial relations
with us, they oppose social progress,
education among the masses, popular
representation and freedom in religious
matters. They actually control three
of the twenty-five provinces, about 175,-
600 people, and have an army that their
strongest adherents limit to $4,000.
They have all the men-of-war and
about fifteen transports.
'Balmaceda controls the rest, over
$500, 900 people, an army of 10000 men
fully equipped and two torpedo boats
and few good transports. Icannotse
how his cause can fail unless there is alb
solrtely treachery among his officers.
The youth OF Santiago, those who have
been saturated with the eloquent Lin
coln club lawyer, who has deigned to
visit the smaller cafes and harangue
them, the old aristocratic families and
all the priest-controlled women are for
the opposition.
"The masses, the middle and lower
classes, those for whom the public SER
vice is destined to do the most good,
are with Balmaceda. have told you
how intimately we were identified with
this struggle, both as to our institutions
and future commerce. 1t grows more
certain to my mind every day that such
is true application of this contest to
us, and we should do all we can to hold
up the hand of Balmaceda. If he could
get one warship he would soon end
matters"
