RECEPTION TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

rendered by the Young Peoples So
cfetics of Omaha.
The nasty weather last night had a COM
paratively small effect on the annual recep-
ton given by the young peoples societies of
the churches of the city to the young men of
Omaha at the Young Mems Christian associ-
alton building. Throughout the evening the
brightly lighted rooms, the cosy gymnasium
and the spacious hall were crowded with
about 1000 young people OF both sexes, who
got perhaps more enjoyment out Of the &C.
casion than If the night outside had bsen
bright and clear.
The reception proper, the getting-acquaintsd
and glad-to-see-you portion of the evening, if
you please, began about s o'clock and con-
tinued for an hour. The young men of the
city, as they began to pour in, were met by
the reception COMMITTEES of other young men
and by young women, marked by badges, who
saw to it that everybody was made at home.
Throughout this portion of the evening the
Young Mems Christian Association orchestra
played excellently good, healthy airs, which
mingled pleasantly enough with the CONVEX
sation.
During the reception a little furore was
raised by the entrance of a dozen young men
dressed In blue suits, who made themselves
very evident. They were a portion of the 100
blue buttons who had thus outgeneraled
the 100 orange buttons" The "blue but
tons and the 'orange buttons are two op-
posing factions, who are seeking to get the
greater part Of the 1000 members by which
the association hopes to be increased by
January 10.
At the conclusion.of the reception an adj
journment was taken to the gymnasium,
where a program of dumbbell exercises, APP
paratus work. figure trotting, mat work,
jumping and circle tag was given by the
classes. The hall was then invaded and here
a literary program was rendered. On behalf
of the societies Arthur Chase welcomed the
young men and Secretary Ober responded.
The rest of the program consisted of a num-
Der of excellent rotations by Miss Swartz-
lander and a very hcleyer solo by Mr.. Thomas
Pennell, The orchestra bestowed its share of
the enjoyment, also.i

The Kiss in Court.

1t is no new thing for the kiss to be
in court. Before courts of law were es-
tablished the kiss was in the court of love.
1t is there yet, and will stay, despite the
fact that the scientists say it is bur-
dened with bacilli With the institution
of the courts of law. the efforts of the
lawyers and the judges to define the legai
status of the kiss probably began. They
have been at the work ever since. and the
problem is not yet solved. Courts have
fixed the price of kisses, have interpreted
the meaning of kisses, and have filed
pages of reports with learned dispositions
as to what kisses are and what they are
not. To these pages, and in the last men,
toned classification, has been added the
judgment of an Indiana court to the effec,
that a kiss is not an assault.
1t seems that in the case decided by
the court referred to. the kissee had sued
the kisser for assault, claiming damages.
The testimony showed that the kisser had
implanted fervent oscillations upon the
lips of the kissee, pretty young woman,
upon severaltoccasions, and that the YOUNG
woman had never made objection at the
time of the action. The objection must
have been an afterthought. 1t may have
been that the young woman contemplated
indicting the young man for assault ana
battery; but when she came to think over
the matter, and TO reflect that the smacks
were not violent, and were somewhat
pleasant, she may have concluded tha,
there was no battering about it, and that
she had better call it plain assault and quit
At that. An assault may be made withou,
actual contact; but the kissee took pains
to let the court know there had been act
ual contact, accompanied by considerable
suction and some noise of air rushing 10
fun a threatened vacuum. Nevertheless
the court held the allegation of assaul,
to be not sustained. and the kisser was
discharged.
The decision will lift load from the
minds of those sin-burdened sons Of Adam
who have kissed surreptiuously, or with

EVERY officer in the northern part of
the state was on the lookout for the rob-

under suspicion, but no one could get so
much as a glimpse of him. Finally i hired
two Wylackio Indian tratlers, who could
follow cat track over the widest con IN

direction, then try the track the other way
awhile, and finally gave it up in disgust.

A bright Outlook.
From New Orleans Picayune Dem.).

Cotton is now selling at about S1S per
bale more than it did last year Should
this price be maintained, cotton producers
will make considerable money, and all
branches of business in the south will be
correspondingly benefited. All indications
certainly seem to point to the mainten-
ance of present prices, even if a further
advance does not occur. The crop is adj
mitted to be very short, while the con-
sumption of cotton both at home and
abroad is reported to be good. To just
what extent the crop is short cannot of
course, be guessed with any degree of GER
tainty at this time of the year; but the
belief in a short crop appears to be very
nearly universal, and it is scarcely possi-
BILE that everybody could have been Sc
riously miSled.

from the New York Times Dem).

the new 1OEh NDe0lJ.
1t is almost impossible to credit the re-
port that a Spanish gunboat, the Condo
de Nenadito is cruising about among the
Florida Keys; and the further statement
that her commander has been sending
armed boat crews ashore to search for
Cuban sympa thiZers and arms and am
munltion that may or may not be intend
ed for use in Cuba is SO amazing that one
is tempted to view the whole story as a
wild piece of imaginative fiction. put in
circulation for the express purpose OF
exciting American anger against Spain.
And yet these assertions are made with
such eNactness of detail. and have been
repeated so often during the last two or
three days, that calm incredulity in re-
gard TO them is a state of mind hard to
maintain. The memory of what outra-
geOus insolence was shown once before
by this same gunboat-no one needs to
be told that 1t was the Nenadito that FIR
ed upon the Allianca-remains to lend
some degree Of vraisemblance even to
yarns like these. Perhaps the matter is,
after all, worth inves tigation. Should
the dispatches turn out to have had the
slightest foundation in fact, no doubt ac-
tion vigorous win be taken that-well,
that nobody will ever be forced 20 write

The Price of Cotton.

We see no reason why the price of mid
ding cotton should not reach s cents a
pound very soon 1t is certain that the
crop is short. All the reports from Texas
and the Mississippi valley are to the eff
feet that the condition of the crop could
hardly be worse. There is no chance now
for a change for the better, and an early
frost, which is not improbable, would cut
down the present estimates very greatly.
There is a pretty general agreement that
under no circumstances will the crop go
beyond 100000 bales, and the weight of
opinion is that it will be about 1000, 600
bales. NeilFs estimate is understood to
point to a yield of 100000 to Z, zoo bales
and, as is well known, his estimate is al
most always above the actual yield. 1t is
the quite general understanding that his
interests are with the English spinners,
and the larger the estimate the better they
are satisfied.
If the English consumers become sat
shed that the crop is not likely to be
above 100000 bales the demand for cot
ton will become much more active, and
consequently the price will advance.
American spinners have not made their
presence in the market felt yet 1t is
time for them to begin getting their sup
ply. When they commence to buy heav-
lily a season of speculation, as well as an
unusually active spot market. may be ex-

As Morgan Puts 1t.
From Louisville Courier Journal Dem).

The single gold standard men," says
Senator Morgan of Alabama, ARE in a
corner from which they can never escape
without the aid of legislation by con-
gress. If they do not thus escape. silver
will be their only resort for relief 1 wish
to prevent their escape, except through
the. whole question will be virtually set
tied before the presidential election by
the action or refusal to act of the Fifty
fourth congress-" In other words, if
Senator Morgan speaks for the silverites
and the policy he attributes to them for
the Fifty-fourth congress is in thorough
accord with that pursued by them in the
Fifty-third congress-they do not propose
that the country shall escape ruin except
through free silver. And as free silver
means the worst sort of ruin, ruin we are
bound to come to If the free silverites
can have their way or can prevent the
sound money men from having their way.

Parkhurst for Local option.

DR.. Parkhurst of New York. who
reached that city from Europe on Thurs
day, began to talk of the city's public af-
fairs as soon as he set foot on land. He
does not think the reforms he Instituted
are yet completed, though he is much
gratihed with the firm stand Police Com
missioner Roosevelt has taken in enforcing
the Sunday anti-liquor law. not because he
believes in arbitrarily shutting off the poor
mans beer, but because he wants TO see
every law enforced without fear or favor.
In respect to the liquor question he said
I'm regard to excise matters, 1 am pre-
pared to go as far as this-I believe in the
reference Of the whole business to the ar
bitrament of local Judgment would like
to see the matter referred to the people
local option; that is in consonance with
the principle of home rule"
We call attention to DIR. Parkhurst's re-
turn to New York more for the purpose
of pointing out that he favors local OPP
ton than for any other purpose. He doubt
less understands the difficulty of enforcing
a law that is not sustained by a majority
of the people. Such law may be partially
enforced, but enforcement of that kind is
productive of more harm. as a rule. than
would follow the repeating of the law.
The prohibitionists in this state are
moving in the direction of general pro-
hibition law. We feel sure that much more
good could be accomplished by means of
the local option law. 1t is true that there
are counties in which 1t would be almost
impossible to get prohibition law adopt
ed. STILL it cannot be foretold certainly
what would be the result of persistent and
Intelligent agitation.

1t was striking for the breadth and prac-

in book lore, is likely to be a reasonable,
conservative person and not given to the
assertion of unwelcome social pretensions.

opportunity to pay a dollar for an opera
ticket" The welfare of the negro is to be

perity, not in pushing himself discount

itself proof that progress is being made
