fear is that the attempt of this ele-
ment. foreign to the party, with its
Pernicious doctrine, to fasten itself
to the republican party will drive
away hundreds OF thousands of
honest votes. The movement
is. in fact, nothing more than q
revival Of the ancient .knownothing'
doctrine. which, although short
lived, was not without its effect upon
our politics. The republican party
has ever been outspoken upon every

the courage Of its convictions. 1 do

In Editor Edward Rosewater's let
ter resigning as member of the re-
publican national committee read to
the republican state convention of
Nebraska. he explained that he was
too loyal republican to support
Majors. the nominee for governor.
Continuing. he said:
You have nominated q man for
governor who was branded as Access
sorry to forgery and perjury by re-
publican congressional committee, OF
which Hon. Thomas B. Reed was
chairman; q man who stands self
convicted Of classifying official records
and procuring the issue of fraudulent
vouchers while actingin the capacity
of president OF the senate: a man
who conspired with boodlers and Job
bers, and converted the room of the
lieutenant governor at the capital of
OF the state into a den of debaucherv;
man who is the plant tool of rail-
roads. in season and out. and whose
nomination was procured by the COM

house officials. cannot and
never will ask any self-respecting re-
publican who loves his state and
country and desires to perpetuate the
free institutions under which we
live, under a republican government,
to help rivet the chains OF su bservi-
ency to corporate monopoly and tyr
amy upon the people Of this COM
monwealth.
Believing it my sacred duty to up-
hold the standard of true republican
ism ut any sacrifice, l desire to be
free from all restraint which might
be imposed upon me by remaining on
the national committee.
The letter created profound SEN
sation. After some delay the resig-
nation was accepted, and Hon. John
nj. Thurston, Of Omaha, was elected
to fill the vacancy. Rosewater may
be looked for to scald the entire out
fit from now on, and his Bee is capa-

The Little King Ruled Well.

Another pretty little story is told Of
the young King Alphonso of Spain. The
queen regent, as is natural to expect,
has taken great pains to teach her little
son her own native tongue, German.
To accomplish this thoroughly and rap
idly she herself compiled a grammar
and primer for his use. Short poems
take up good part of the book. One
Of these especially interested his little
majesty, to the great delight Of the
queen. 1t was entitled What One
Should Do" and ends with the line,
''Kings must rule WE'LL
Alphonso learned the poem by heart
and easily, for he has q remarkable
memory. One evening, when his mother
had given him his good night kiss, he
asked as usual, art thou content with
me today" When her majesty express
ed her approval of his conduct, the little
fellows face frightened up for o mo.
ment, and he proudly said:
Eyes, l have in truth ruled we'll to
day."

The brazen bigotry of the Union
in asserting that the fact that can

son why he should not be elected to

Of the democratic ticket are not seek
ing test before the people Of Rock

merit. There is no inclination on
the part Of the democratic candidates
to desert the party standard. but
there is not one among them who Is
so much Of demagogue as to con-
denim his opponent merely because
he is of different political faith. The
democrats of Rock Island believe
that from every point Of view they
have the best Of argument before the
people in the forthcoming campaign,
and the election will confirm such
opinion.

Literary.

Among the contents of The Forum
for September will be a unique arti-
Gle on Home Life in India; Child
Marriages and Widows" by Puru-
shotam Rao Telang, a high-caste
Brahmin, who has spent more than q
year in the United States studying
our social institutions and customs.
Mr.. Telang writes the first explana-
ton, we believe, that has ever ap-
peared by Hindoo in the United
States, Of the custom of child-mar-
riages and of the forbidding Of the
marriage of widows in India-two
subjects that have long been topics
of earnest missionary discussion.
The literary passions of literary
man are always interesting and they
are peculiarly SO when an author Of
such renown rs William Dean How
ellis tells of them. The 10th INSTALL
ment Of MIR. Howells' literary biog-
raphy under the title of my Liter
airy Passions" appears in the Sep
TENDER Ladies' Home journal. Next
in interest to Mr.. Howells' contribu-
ton comes a page devoted to 1.-The
Daughter in the Home" by Mrs.
Burton Kingsland, Mrs. Hamilton
Mott and the editor of the Journal.
A particularly helpful article in re-
Spouse to the question, What Are
Building Societies?" is contributed
by Addison B. Burk, SO widely
known as an authority upon the sub
ject. Mrs. Van Koert Schuyler
writes most earnestly on the sub ect

Strength.
The frontispiece of McClure's Mag
azine for September is q charming
portrait Of Mrs. Robert Louis Steven
son, and the opening article is a no
less charming relation. by Mr.. Ste
venson. Of how, soon after their mar
riage, he came to write Treasure
Island" and of the unusual condi-
tiOns under which he executed the
work. Pictures of the house and
scenes in which the Stevensons lived
at the time, and several portraits of
Stevenson himself, accompany the
article. In a very sprightly illus.
trated article by Robert Barr, an ex-
position is given Of the ..savate," or
kick. as employed with great skill by
the French boxers. The eminent
French chemist, Prof. Berthelot, in
an interview with Henry J. w.
Dam. sets forth the grounds of his
belief that time is coming when
milk, potatoes, beef, and all the sta
pie human food will be supplied
from the laboratories of the chemist,
instead Of from the fields of the
farmer.

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.



How the Fair Cleopatra Fooled Antony
with a salt Fish.
The art Of angling no doubt had its
origin in mans necessities. The earliest
record of mankind makes reference to
the taking Of fish for food. There are
frequent illusions to it in the Bible.
Job. in the Oldest book of all, says:
"Canst thou draw out leviathan with
q hook, or his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down: Canst thou put q
hook in his nose?'' Homer, in the
"Iliad, speaks of fishing in these lines:
As bearing death In the fallacious bait.
frnm the bent anglo sinks the leaden weight.
And it is recorded in the Odyssey:
As when the angler. his long rod in hand.
On projecting rock assumes his stand,
Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare.
Then filings the wriggling captives in the air.
The Romans. Greeks and other races
of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art of angling. Plutarch
tells Of prank played by the fair Egyp-
tan, Cleopatra, while out fishing with
Antony, They wagered on their an
CLING, and her divers did hang salt fish
on his hook, which he with fervor drew
up"
The ruined walls of Herculaneum and
Pompeii abound in frescoes of fisher
men. All along the track of history are
found traces Of this gentle recreation,
showing the gradual improvement from
the hook of bone and rude equipment Of
the cave man to the elegant accessories
and belongings Of the modern angler

Boys Who Abuse Animals.

In recent book ON "Pets and How
to Care For Them" the writer finds out
that reports have been got from prisons
and reformatories showing that very
few of the men who are prisoners in
these places kept pets when they were
boys or were taught kindness to the
lower animals. So. you see, that the
boy who robs birds nests or kicks aud
hurts dogs and cats not only does an
unkind and cruel thing to these crea-
lures, but he also gives himself a little
push ON the wrong road in life

have availed themselves of the oppor-
