Morton of Nebraska.

The funniest article we have read in a
long time, says the Selma Times, was
found in the Atlanta Constitution. 1t is
dispatch from Nebraska, and publish
es to the world that Secretary Morton
packed the state convention with candi-
dates postoffices and other fede raj
appointments and thus overode the wish
es of nineteenth of the people of that
state.
The thing is too absurd to be given
any credence. The idea of the 1900
applicants for postoffices in that state
being smart enough to have themselves
elected delegates to the state convention
is indeed funny. If it be fact chat
those 1000 applicants for postmaster did
play such a nice little trick and ''foOl
nineteenth of the people" so Sticky, ev-
ery solitary one of them should be APP
pointed to office If they did what this
dispatch in the Constitution alleges, it is
conclusive to the Times that the nlne-
tenth who were fooled have not got
sense enough to fill the 1000 postofices
now held by republicans and who are
waiting to have their heads chopped off.
If our Uncle Secretary Morton of the
agricultural department is smart enough
to sit in Washington and pull the wires
and get all the candidates for postmas-
ters to the convention and thus beat the
brilliant and eloquent Bryan, why the
Times is in favor of nominating him to
succeed the solid and nervy Grover! If
Morton is that smart he will be elected
president, and The sooner the people rec
ognize his ability and make him presi-
dent, the better for them.
It is too absurd for any sensible man
to believe, much less great paper like
the Constitution to get all the way from
Lincoln, Neb., as especial" 1t sounds
good deal like it was written in the
Constitution Office, but that paper is too
fair and manly to be guilty of thing of
that sort.
The brilliant Bryan's friends will ma ke
him appear like firstclass ass if they
get off much more twaddle of that sort.
And Just TO think all this was done
while Bryan was on the ground manag
ing the fight in the state convention of
his state to keep the democrats from en-
dorsing Cleveland and to get little
taffy for himself.
Verify, it seems like Bryan is bigger
man in Washington than he is in Ne
braska. Butour Uncle Morton must be
whale!

Polly sSved the valuab;es.


We had moved into a newly built
house, which had all the modern inl-
provements, the electric bell being one
of them.
It Was a cold winters night. Mr.. and
Mrs. j. were travelling in Europe and
2le servants were all gathered about the
kitchen fire, Polly was also near the
hire, but in the dining room. which was
up stairs.
She used 10 see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, and, like
a clever bird, studied on this for long
while.
On this night Polly was all alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered. The room being
dark they could not see the bird and
began searching for valuables, for they
were burglars.
Polly now proved her worth. She put
out her claw and pressed the button Of
the electric bell
It brought the servants to the dining
room, where. after short struggle, they
secured the burglars, who were about to
make way with much of the valuable
silver in the dining room.
Polly was fed on dainties for some
time as reward for her valuable as
sistance.-Cor. New York Recorder.

THERE appears to be great many
statesmen Just now Who know better
how to conduct the affairs of this great
country than Grover Cleveland; but it is
little singular that the people didn't
find it out and elect one of them instead,

Quit Such Humbuggery.

Quit Such Humbuggery.
A great effort is being made to leave
the impression on the public mind that
a belief that the purchasing clause OF
the Sherman law should be uncondi-
tionally repealed is undemocratic.
ANY one who tries it, however, is put
ting to very heavy test his eloquence,
logical powers, or editorial influence,
He is antagouizing the following facts:
First, he denies the right that each
democrat ought to have to interpret for
himself pa; ty standards, party literature
and party policies. All men VINO think
differ more or less with their closest as
sociates.
Second, the house of representatives
in congress, fresh from the people, after
fourteen days of open and fair discus
sion, passed the repeal bill uncondition-
ally, and not by a small majority, but by a
vote of more than two to one. 1t is
nothing but fair to suppose that those
representative democrats bespoke the
wishes of their constituents in voting to
repeal as truly as did those who voted
against repeal. Where is the evidence
to the contrary? True, some editors
would have us believe that all good dem
ocrats are against repeal unless some free
coinage substitute is incorporated in the
repeating act. But it is also noticeable
that these same editors said that
cleveland could not be elected, while
the result was that a greater popular
plurality was given him than was eyer
received in this country before.
Third, majority of the democrats in
in the senate today are for unconditional
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law. Twenty-Five democrats
and twenty-five republicans are said to
be in a favor OF repeal, majority of
of both parties, while every populist and
independent acting With the minority
make only .thirty-eight who for two
monthsthave been blocking legislation.
1t is claimed that this great majority
ia congress is bribed, but, werepeat,
where is the evidence? This much is
true: Senator Stewart of Nevada, the
great champion of silver, owns more sill
yer interests than any one else in the
United States and is spending his hun
dreds of thousands to have his silver
views put through. His lobby at Wash
ington is perhaps the most powerful one
ever assembled there, and perhaps the
the most INSCRIPTIONS. They are COLO
quially called the 'poker crowd"
There is more evidence of bribery with
the minority than with the majority.

The Top Half Travels Faster.

To the Editor:
In answer to ". F. MS letter in to-day's edi.
ton. In reference to a sulky wheel. allow me to
state that the 'op half does move quicker than the
lower half. owing to its having two motions at
the same time. I will try to make 1t clear to you.
First. it has its natural revolving motion on its
own axis; second. IL has the motion Of the top
half trying to reyolve around the lower half.
Surprising you have a wheel built In which two OF
the spokes are exactly opposite. Now, imagine
the surface Of the earth, where the end Of the
bottom spoke rests. as the centre OF a circle. and
the diameter Of your wheel as half the diameter
NJ said cir2le; you will now see that the ends Of
the top spoke is tracing an arc through the air.
while the end OF the lower spoke is at rest al
the centre OF your imagined circle. namely. the
surface OF the earth. This was illustrated to me
by the head master on II. NJ. S. Conway, an Eng
lish training-ship. during a lecture on nautical
astronomy. QUOD Frat DEMoNsTRANDUM.
