Lincoln, Neb. Sept. 2-The fight be-

has broken out again. Some months
ago the bishop deposed Father Fitz-
gerald Of South Auburn and Father
Murphy of Tecumseh for insubordina-

to Monsiegnore Satolli and the
order Of the bishop was not
enforced. Last week the bishop or
dered them before him for trial They
evaded his citation and will refuse TO
be tried. The action Of the bishop is

THE ELEPHANTS rusxs.
Some Interesting Facts About the Ivory
They Furnish.


Strictly speaking, ivory is .quiva-
lent TO dentine. the hard substance of
which most teeth chiefly consist; but,
as commonly accepted. ivory means the
dentine of those teeth that are large
enough 10 be of use for industrial pur-
poses, such as the tusks Of the elephant,
the narwhal. the hippopotamus. the
walrus and the sperm whale. The tusks
Of the elephant are pair Of upper in
cisor teeth which often grow TO an
enormous size. The extinct mammoths
possessed the largest tusks. The A&ri-
can species have the largest teeth Of
any ef the recent elephants. Among the
many curiosities to be seen al the Lon
don exhibition OF 1851 was a pair Of
African tusks that measured eight feet
and six inches in length and twenty
two inches in circumference, and to-
gether weighed 1926 pounds. The aver
age weight. however. Of the African
tusks is from twenty to fifty pounds.
Captive elephants usually have their
tusks shortened and the ends bound
with metal to keep them from splitting,
but the tusks continue to grow by rea-
son of the conversion of vascular pulp
into ivory, and the shortening opera
tion has to be repeated at intervals.
The value Of ivory depends upon the
size of the tusks; those weighing less
than six pounds are not worth more
than half the price per pound of really
fine tusks. The tusks Of the narwhal
and the walrus, the teeth of sperm
whales. the ear-bones Of whales. and
the molar teeth of the elephant are all
made use Of as sources of ivory. though
they are not so valuable as the larger
tusks. The best and finest quality
comes from equatorial Africa 1t is
much closer in grain than Indian ivory,
and has less tendency to become vel
low when exposed. 1t is semf-trans-
parent and of a warm color when first
cut, and in this state it IS called green"
ivory; as the water dries out Of it. it
becomes much lighter in color and more

Their Relations to one Another Clearly

Genius. say some, is but a capacity
for hard work. This is not the whole
truth. says the New Science Review
There must be work in accordance with
law. The miner who Gigs for gold on
the seashore will never find il. though
he dig so laboriously. but if he study
gold and the geologic strata in which it
lives he has begun 10 put himself into
harmony with law. Mere work. unless
properly directed. is like riding a

ton, but no progress.
For years Napoleon was living in
miniature the battles he was to fight,

tons, and training his mind 10 thus

Non Moltke studied the military topog-
raphy of all Europe. and with marvel
Gus foresight thought out how TO win.
His victory was no triumph Of mere
fortune or special inspiration. II was

esque faces. In the silence IF the

call the IDEAS Of the things you have

tours and outlines Of the figures you

theory ileld by scientists that genius
comes from disease. Disease, insanity,

Next TO Denver, Washington is called
by many the most beautiful city in the
United States. Its clean, wide avenues
and streets cannot he suflicientlyadmir-
ed 10y those who come from places where
the highways are crooked. narrow
broken and dirty. Washington roads,
and streets are built by workhouse con-
victs, mostly black, trey seem to be, as
their dark figures, clad III stripes, move
to and fro busy rs ants.
North Carolina presents an object les
son and the model system of roadmak-
ing to her sister states. Her conyicts
will hereafter work on the public high
ways. The problem of finding employ
ment for penitentiary prisoners and yet
not having them come in competition
with honest labor is thus solved at one
stroke. New York, Texas and Ohio are
considering the establishment of the
same system.
1t is so admirable that the wonder is
all the states did not inaugurate it long
ago. Criminals ought not to be per-
mitted to eat their heads off in prisons
ut public expense, growing lazier and
more worthless every day. Neither
should they be leased out to rascally
contractors who get their work for
nothing while honest laborers starye.
No Put them ON the public high
ways. The counties and states are too
poor to pay for making and mending
roads properly. Here is labor already
to their hand that will not need to be
paid for. At the same time the con-
victs will get the discipline of regular
work in the open air. 1t will he the

THE New York Sua is in favor Of re-
establishing the Institution of the whip
ping post for .'men brutes. . Itheartily
approves the addition to the state penal
code of laws fixing punishment by the
lash for criminals whose misdemeanor
consists in the '.infiiction of physical
pain or suffering on the person Of an
other. That is the way the proposed
addition to the penal laws of New York
puts it. Under this provision ssmen
brutesn who half kill tLeir wives,
children or others of their fellow crea-
lures by beating or violence of any kind
may be brought to a realizing sense Of
their yileness by a taste of physical
suffering on their own persons. The
logging proposed by the New York act
is to consist Of not more than 40 lashes
administered upon the bare back in a
prison and in presence of warden and
physician only. This is we'll. There
will be nc demoralizing public whipping
post exhibitions. Rufians soon are
accustomed to imprisonment and do dot
mind it. But the toughest brute in
human shape could scarcely become SO
accustomed to flogging upon the bare
back as not to writhe under it. One
LEI son of this sort would last even a
drunken wife heater long time. There
seems to be a growing public sentiment
III favor Of the rehabilitation Of the
whipping post.

FROM our county exchanges all over
the State comes the same report of the
indifference of Democrats on the politi-
cal situation, and the great Importance
Of putting none Int their best men for
ward TO win tais fail. Since nomina-
tion is no longer equivalent TO an cleo
ton, it is generally conceded that if old
methods are to prevail at the primaries
this year, disaster will surely oyertake
the party. and defeat Will be inevitable.
The day of boss-rule in selecting candi-
dates for their personal ends, and call
ing upon the people to ratify them at
the polls has passed, and it will be no Use
toattempt longer to force them upon the
people This was proven to the leaders
last fall. Sooner then they viii submit
to it, they will let the election go by de-
fault, and it is well for the party mana
gers TO understand this from the begin
ming, and act accordingly. None but
men of integrity, men who have the
confidence of the people-mea whom
they can trust and are worthy of their
support, need lie put forward this year.
A very great change has taken hold Of
the people in the last few years IN their
political sentiments more indepen-
dent sentiment is manifest than ever
before. Party lines, in great measure,
have become obliterated, and it is no
longer party with many-but men, and
il they cannot find them in their own
party they will vote for them in another
il they are capable, honest and trust
worthy. This sentiment largely pre-
walls in the rank and file of both parties
of the present day, and just so sure as
men not of this calibre are put forward,
they will be defeated. But we believe
if proper men are nominated-men
with ability, principle and uprightness
of character-men that will ensure
obedience to the VIII of the people, in
matters Of State and county admins
tration-men that are closely in touch
with the masses, and have the interest
of the people at heart there need he no
fear of their defeat.
