which can be directed or steercd, threatens
to break into the English language. 1t

he comes to say that MIR. Cleveland was
the least drigible democrat that ever got
into the midst of the party.

The news is cabled all the way from
London that the powers of Europe have
finally become convinced that the sui
tan's promises are not to be relied on.

the unredeemed promise of any other
potentate, and the sultan ought to feel
proud of having been able to stand all
Europe OFF for all this period of time.

President Cleveland exhibited no hesi-

The public offer of Isaac S. Hascall
to go to Cuba to fight for Cuban inde
pendence or send II competent substitute
should not be allowed to pass without
proper acknowledgement. Hascall is Il
fighter from way back. There has
never been political fight in this vicin-
ity since his advent into Nebraska into
which he has not managed to inject
himself in one capacity or another. His
prowess is known from one end of the
continent to the other AT the head of
u band of Cuban warriors no Spanish
column could for moment stand be-
fore him. Hascall fighting for Cuban
independence would mean that indie
pendence was already achieved. Much
as this community would dislike to lose
him, his services would certainly be the
most valuable contribution that could
possibly be made to the Cuban cause.

SENATORIAL GRABS.
Private Seccssnrics Charged Up 10
Uncle sam.


That fine old assemblage, the senate. is an
expensive luxury. The 'sundry expense" ac-
count for the body during the year has been
published and some of the items are of in
terest. There is. for example a charge OF
800 for bicycle holders for the convenience
of the senator's, most of whom would fall OFF
a wheel If they dared try to mount ii. Pos
sibly the public will be chiefly Interested in
the quinine pill BILL however, for at different
times. it seems, 1000 or 5000 quiniue pills
have been shipped to the capitol to keep the
legislative works in operation,
But the items already presented suggest
that the senators are possibly not being
properly cared for. II quinine Is necessary
to the conduct of legislation. so are liver
pills and Jamaica ginger. There should be
no discrimination against chlorate of potash
tablets and throat lozenges. No doubt the
good senators viii correct all this in course
Of time, but meanwhile the negligence shown
in the care of these venerable lawmakers is
something shocking. The public hopes soon
TO have its present painful impressions re
moved by the sight of some such adequate
contingent expense" account AIS this:
