We are sorry for any man who is a de votee of the grog shop. Sooner or later the demon coils it's ugly body around the victim, and manhood is squeezed out When men so demean themselves, as to i'll themselves with whisky and then proceed to disturb a meeting of an oppo, site political party, they are indeed ob- j,cts of pity and disgust. It may not be that all who had a hand in the disorder at the Town hall, last week, were exclt- ed by stimulant, but they were none the less cxcusabIe, and made themselves liable for punishment. What does the law provide for people who disturb 8 political meeting. On page 342, sectior 1920, revised statutes of 1sSs we read:
 Every person who shul prevent lawtu meeting of any community from proceeding in an orderly and poaceubIe manner, to the appointment of a modcrutor, or shall abus' him,Or a presiding officer of all electors meet ing, or interrupt either in the discharge of hi duty, or after he has commanded silence shall speak In the meeting without his liberty except tu ask reasonable liberty to speak shall be fined not more than $50.

with a Difference"

I'm weary waiting here,
The chill east wind is signing,
The autumn tints are sere,
The summer flowers are dying.
The rivers sullen way
Winds on through vacant medows,
The dying light Of day
Strives vainIy with the shadows.
A footstep stirs the leaves.
The faded fields seem brighter.
The sunset gilds the sheaves.
The Iow'ring clouds look lighter.
The river sparkles by,
Not all the flowers are falling.
There's azure in the sky,
And thou, my love. art calling.

have been present at Governor Furnas'
celebrated mixed show last autumn,
when the Feast OF Mohdamin was spread
for the Knights o. Ak-Sar Ben, and the
city was Illuminated from Fred Krug's
brewery to the Coliseum, and the court
ball shone with magniticence and fair

balls, what kind Of terpsichorean fete
will there be in connection with the

must rise to the occasion II Isadore
cannot be secured for the gushing graft

A correspondent OF the st. Louis
Globe Democrat surveys the democratic
situation and comes to the conclusion
that the free silver advocates will be
victorious at Chicago. His opinion is
shared by good many close observers.
The sound money men Of the demOcra-
tic party are clearly in the minority. but
the idea has been prevalent that diplo-
macy or finesse or tactics--Or harsher
word il you like-would carry the day
notwithstanding. There ia still a chance
that this may happen.
But accepting the moet common view
there is possibility, indeed there is
probability. that the proceedings OF the
national democratic convention will
have a personal interest for the people
of Lincoln and Nebraska. Mr. Bryan,
the boy orator Of the Platte. the smil-
ing silver sJngster, may be nominated
for the presidency, in which event the
sound money democrats would. to
considerable extent, be driven ioto the
republican party. And there would be
an effort to give Mr.. Bryan popuIist
support throughout the country.
Mr. Bryan is the strongest man the
silver people could put forward. Let US

receive small pensions and others earn
a trifle occasionally for tobacco money

losing most of it to some of their fellow

and played in the basement of the build
