From the Nebraska State Journal.
They had no partings in the wood.
No meetings in the lonely lane;
Beside the sea they never stood.
Nor watched the sunset after rain.
Their pathway was the busy street
Their trysting place the office stair.
And yet 1 know Joy more complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
And why should rustic love alone
BE decked with all poetic art?
These dull, gray city walks have known
The beating of a nations heart
The weary workers come and 90.
The secret of each soul Is dumb.
Yet still at times aeradiant glow
Across their wayworn lives NAV come
And these, my happy lovers, knew
Hard toll, small wage, and humble
fare;
The skies they saw were never blue. 4.
But love made gladness everywhere.
HIS step upon the office floor
Was sweet to her as robins song.
Her face that passed the open door
FOR MN made sunshine all day long.

Fnct. Ahont MortraEe..


The volume Of the census reports con-
tanning the facts about real estate mort
cages. IS gathered in 1850. has just come
~ hand. IT. IS unfortunate that its pubii-
cation was delayed so long-slx years az
ter the facts g. contains were collected
There have been many changes 10 these
six years. bat Il is doubtful ~ the aggre-
gate mortgage debt IS any greater nov.
ln proportion 10 the wealth and population
OF the country. than it was in 1ss0.
Those who make careful study OF
this volume VIII be surprised 10 nnd the
west is not so heavily mortgageI as they
have been led 10 believe. and that the
bulk OF the mortgages Is aeld by resi-
dents OF the states in which the mort
cages are placed.
ln 1881, the aggregate mortgage debt OF
The whole country, exclusive Of the debt
OF corporations which are practically pub
lic. was S5.0ls.s79.7s5. The value OF the
taxed real estate and untaxed mines was
estimated at E6li9.47s0sL The amount
Of the mortgage debt therefore. was not
quite 1915 per cent. of the estimated value
Of the real estate
The mortgage debt OF the southern
states was smaller In proportion 10 its
taxed real estate than that OF any other
section. ana that of the west was not
nearly so large as IL was supposed TO be-
The western state having a very large
mortgage debt was Kansas. The average
mortgage debt for each person in the
country was sos, New York having the
highest. $26s. and South Carolina the low
est. sl2
Inquiry in 102 selected counties in all
parts OF the country showed that 1892
per cent. Of the mortgages In force and
9L37 per cent Of the amount of them
were used TO make payments on the pur-
chase Of property. or to make original i'm
provements. But little of the money OBJ
tanned from the mortgages therefore was
used in living expenses.
A fact well worth noting IS that more
than half Of the mortgage debt is on lots
in towns. Only one-thrd of the mort
cages and less than half Of the amount
Of them were on farms.
It is interesting to know that more than
half the mortgage debt is on real estate
in the states Of New York. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Massachusetts and nlinois-these
five states carrying 52s7 per cent. Of the
total debt. The rate Of interest paid on
mortgages fell from TIA per cent. in 1880
TO 6.75 in 1890 The foregoing are only a
few Of the facts in the latest census vol
ume. but they are sufficient to show that
this country is not so heavily mortgaged
as many who look on the dark side of
things would have us believe.

as 1t n Democratic Conventions,
From the New York World Dem1

Every day-almost every utterance At
Chicago emphasizes the utterly undemo-
cratic character of the free silver major
ity there and OF their policy
Democratic conventions have hitherto
been deliberative bodies, In which sneech
was free, persuasion was welcomed ana
decisions were the result Of earnest CON
ference. THIS one Is to be dernonstra-
ton of brute force if the majority can
make II so. Even physical violence is
openly threatened as a possible resort II
the three hundred odd delegates who rem
resent democratic doctrine insist upon be-
ing heard.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas. who more
nearly represents leadership in this moi
than any other member Of it, Yesterday
said: 'S
we do not propose to have any hut
silver speeches in this convention II is
our convention and we propose to rim A.

What makes you think that?" said the
eastern man. why, 16 to l mean 16 to J.
don't it? And it means II silver is made

Why, see here" said the eastern man.

stories of German, ToOmbs and
stevens.


Senator Germans skill as a political
tactican is illustrated by the way in
which he got William Pinkney Whyte
out70f the Senate and himself in, says the
Washington Post. Whyte had been COVER
nor, was in the Senate and appeared TO
have a life cinch on the place. He had
no thought or intention Of withdf6 Wing
from public life, but one day in private
conversation ne incautiously limited, just
barely limited, that perahps he might not
be a candidate again for the Senate He
said some OF those derogatory things about
public life of which men who think they
are entirely safe, or who have been re-
tired against their will are fond of utter
ing without attaching any meaning to
them German heard of ii. Ii was all he
wanted TO form the basis of his campaign.
lie took care that the report was duly
circulated, and secured its publication IN
the state newspapers. The result was that
Senator Whyte found himself committed
to retiring from the Senate, when he had
not the least intention or wish Of so doing
Mr.. German succeeded him, and has been
IN the Senate ever since, Mr.. Whyte vain
ly endeavoring TO GUST him.
Perhaps Senator German knew of the
way in which Robert TOOmbs Of Georgia,
managed to remove Alexa nder H. Stevens
from the path when he was elected to the
Senate. The two were campaigning togeth-
er in the early SOS. Both wanted to be
United States senator. Stephens was the
more popular, and TOombs was anxious
not to have him for an opponent. One day
while they were resting their horses and
taking lunch Toombs brought the SEN
atorship up in an Indirect way. Finally he
pumped the direct question at Stephens
If he were candidate. Stephens unsus-
pectingly replied:
NO, Bob, am not, but
Wen, as you are not a candidate,
Aleck, am and want your support"
Toombs was chosen senator in conse-
quence of this bit of sharp practice.
which may have served as a model for
German in his contest with Whyte.

1t would not be surprising to hear of
a heavy immigration movement in the
direction of Putnam county. Indiana. In
the western section of that county there
is a well, newly dug, that gives out a
most peculiar and delightful beverage. 1t
looks like water and tastes like water. 1t
is clear as crystal. and quite cold. But
it takes only a few mouthfuls of it to
produce a most brilliant jag. The intox-
ication produced is said to be followed
by no evil effects; not even a slight head
ache. And while the drinkers are under
the influence Of the drink they never want
TO fight, but feel happy and mirthful.

Trying Fool Experiments.

An elephant who had wandered into
q barnyard carclessly stepped on q hen
which was scratching for food for her
chickens. Filled with grief at the result
Of his misstep tho elephant said to tho
orphaned brood, Never mind, will
be mother to you." Then he gently
shooed the chickens into corner Ind
lay down on them.
The silvcritcs who are urging the PEG.
Die to vote for free coinage candidates
on the ground that until the experiment
ia tried we cannot be sure that it will
not benefit the country are very much
like that misguided elephant. They
know that their l0 to l scheme would
drive away all the gold on which our
financial and business interests arc
based and think that In some way they
could make cheap silver serve az sub
stitute. In this they are greatly mtstak-
en-. Instead Ct taking the place Of gold
silver would have the same deadly ef-
feet on trade and industry that the we'll
meaning elephant had on the chickens
which it tried to shelter. It Is not neo-
essary to kill our present sound currency
system in order to provo that cheap
money scheme won't work. Some things
can be known without trying fool ex'
periments, and that free coinage IL q
dangerous fraud Is one of them.
