GREAT NATIONAL DEBTS.
The debts of the principal nations Of
q world are as follows.
KANSAS AND NEW YORK.

The Albany Evening Journal having
said that Kansas has become a disgrace
to the United States, we may remark
that nothing could possibly happen in
Kansas equalling in infamy the Tam
many organization, which has the dead
cinch on New York. And the difference
between Kansas Republicans and New
York Republicans is that when a party
attempted to steal house the former
faced Winchesters, while New York Re
pubIicans tamely submitted TO the steal
ing of the state senate by Tammany.
The New York Press has this to say con-
corning the Republicans of Kansas:
Kansas has again given an example
TO the Republican party of the United
States. When her freedom loving pop
ulation repulsed the Efforts of slave hold
ers to add another state TO the domain of
human bondage that heroic achievement
inspired every hsart loyal 10 liberty for
the greater struggle which came but
few years later. The Republicans OF
the western commonwealth have lately
shown that they are not degenerate. and,
happily without bloodshed, they have
compelled anarchy and usurpation to re-
treat before the representatives of con-
stltutional government 1t required no
little courage for the Republican house
10 force its way into the hall from which
It's members had unlawfully been de-
barred, and to defy weapons of violence
with which lawieSs popuilsts attempted
10 bar tie entry. But courage and reSo-
luton triumphed, and anarchy yielded
10 order.
The enemies Of the Republican party
throughout the nation are quite as ag-
gressive and INSCRIPTIONS as the Popu-
lists Of Kansas, and they imagiue-or
pretend 10 imagine-that Republican
principles have been defeated aud the
Republican ranks broken. never again to
De organized for victory. Let Repub-
licans everywhere unite and push for
ward with the resolution OF their Kan
saS crethren, and their antagonists will
receive a rebuke before two years will
have passed as thorough as that admin
ls,ered 10 the Kansas PopuIists."

A Cats Trip to India and Back.

A good cat story, says the London
correspondent of the Yorkshire Post,
comes from Bombay. In August a
Liverpool resident proceeding to Bonn
bay took out with him a cat which
he intended to present to a friend
in India. Some days after the arrival
Of the steamer in Bombay pussy was
missed, and, though she was searched
for high aud low, she was nowhere to
be found. Her owner had quite given
her up for lost when he received in
telligence from England that the cat
had made her appearance at her old
Liverpool home on the e5th of October
as calm and collected as though a trip
70 India and back was quite in the or
binary course Of her life. The facts are
vouched for by a Bombay paper, and
there IS no reason TO doubt their sub
stantial accuracy.

Looting the Treasury.

From the Hutchinson News.
The determination of the Pc pulists to
loot the state treasury was seen ii their
actions Immediately subsequent TO the
passage Of the legislative appropriation
bill. All night previous to the pubIica-
cation Of the act in the official paper. the
speaker of the rump house, the state
auditor and the state treasurer were in
collision getting warrants in shape, and
Immediately after the first paper con-
tanning the legal notice was issued from
the press the payment Of the warrants
began, and before any legal restraining
order could be obtained, ali bus two had
been paid. This shows upon its face
that it was deliberate plot to rob the
state treasury. The Populists knew they
were wrong, and would have been no
more guilty OF theft had they blown
open the state treasurer safe and helped
themselves to the funds. 1t was delib-
crate robbery, nothing more, nothing
less; but it was what might have been
expected of the greedy horde OF hooters.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE VS.. THE LAW.

Nebraska has started out 10 put q stop
to the criminal malpractice of the al
legged miracle workers who believe, or
pretend to believe, that they can cure
bodily ailments by so-called Christian
science. A Beatrice grand jury has in
dicted and arrested the Rev. Z. N. Bus
well, Christian science apostle, on
a charge Of violating the state law by
attempting to heal sickness without pos
sessing either diploma from a medical
college or permit from the state medi-
cal board. As Beatrice is said to be one
of the strongholds of Christian science,
and as the Rev. Mr.. Boswell is the recog-
nized leader Of the sect Whereabouts, the
blow has filled the faithful with con-
sternation, as well it may. The penalty
in case Of conviction is heavy fine or
imprisonment, or both; and as several
deaths in that peighborhood have been
charged up TO this religious fad, the
prosecution is in earnest. The defendant
has teiegraphed to the east for leading
counsel, and the result will be a test
case which may have far-reachin,s
effects.
If this species of impos ition can be
suppressed in Nebraska it will not long
flourish unmoIested in other states. The
state is bound to protect the lives of its
citizens in every way possible. a
patient who dies under Christian science
treatment might not have been saved by
pills and powders, but it stands to rea-
son that doctor who knows the human
organism through and through is more
likely to save life than one who knows
nothing about either the body or tie
disease that is racking it.
If it were worth while, in this connec-
ton, to further inveigh against this more
or less prevalent misnomer, 1t wonld be
enought to quote the declaration of the
one and only miraculous Healer in
recognition of the science of medicine
and its employment as an aid to nature
to throw off bodily disease, i. e. "They
that are whole need not the physician. |
but they that are sick"

This leads to a preference in BARRIERS.
/ The man who possesses a palm like a
nutmeg crater viii never have a second
chance at tender-faced victims.
In Washington, according to the New
York Recorder, there is an extempo-
raneous colored barber. That is, he
uses labor-saving devices as they occur
to him.
One of his fads is to jab his patients
ear full of lather. While this is not
agreeable to his victim, it saves him
money in stepping TO and from the shaw
ing mug. When he requires little
more lather for a sandy place on the
chin he takes il out of the ear and III bs
it in, otherwise he wouid have 20 walk
around TO the cup. This little peculiar
ity is offset by his silllen fingers which
keep his custom.
In Richmond and other southern
cities, the BARRIERS still stick TO the long
whisk- broom, the brush being about
three feet long and six inches wide. At
the conclusion of shave. the barber
will throw this as knife thrower fires
his blade into board. II generally
hits the customer between the shoulder
blades, and, II the sensation Is a new
one, he thinks be Is assaulted. Then
follows rhythmic rub-a-dub played on
the back, while the barber huns tune
in accompaniment.
Before the advent Of natural gas in
Pittsburgh, all the BARRIERS were wont

see where the beard lay and also the

air rendered this necessary, but as the
neck was only washed down 70 the

The DECISION.

The state supreme court rendered its
decision Saturday noon on the legisla-
tive contest case, according to promise.
The chief justice and Associate Justice
Johnson agreed in sustaining the Doug
lass house as the legal organization,
while Associate Justice Alien dissented,
denying the legality of the Douglass
house and unfolding the Dunsmore
organization. This is no great surprise,
though it was desired the court would
agree and render a unanimous decision,
IN the interest of peace and the common
Notwithstanding the stump-specch APP
peal to partisan prejudice contained in
Justice Aliens dissent, the better judg-
ment Of the PopulistS will assert itself,
and that they viii yield obedience to the
mandates Of the highest tribunal known
to our state government. 1t is no time
to deal in threats: reason should hold
sway now to the end that law and order
may prevail without putting the auth
GRITTY and power of the court to the
test.
If the mandates of the court shall be
acquiesced in, much of the past that was
said and done under passionate impulse
will soon be forgotten and the people Of
the state be brought together again in a
common purpose, that of building up
the state and advancing its every inter
est. But if blind prejudice and partisan
zeal shall continue to prompt the OBJ
in their obstructive meth
DDS and disregard for law, the conse-
quences must and will be upon them.
