NEW YORK TIMES

The Times is a newspaper for intel
ligent men and women who want to
read all the news Of the world every
day. The paper has distinguished
merits Of it's own. Ii IL neither SEN
sational nor dull. II is not sour
tempered. 1t is not frivolous or vision
airy Ii sees plenty Of good in the world
and tells about it. 1t tells OF the bad
when it must, but not unwholesomely.
Ii prints with fulness the record OF
human endeavor in mary fields outside
OF business, politics and warm liter
allure, religion, science. art, sports and
household matters. No paper in the
country prints SO many book reviews
and 80 much book news. No paper
has 80 complete a financial page-a
daily manual for investors and officers
OF financial institutions. Its market
reports-wool, cotton. breadstuffs, farm
products. etc, are the best in the country.
The Democracy Of The Times is OF
the old fashioned sort-asol as Thomas
Jefferson; majority rule, no bossism. no
machine tyranny. the divorce Of politics
from private money making. a sound
currency. industrial emancipation, and
every day honesty. To promote the ad-
vance OF the Democratic party along
these lines 1t labors with heart and
conscience and all its might.

The mourner in a darkened room
bowed in grief above bis dead. He
wept for her who was gone, and in his
sorrow he found no grain OF comfort.
She was dead, and he would see her no
more forever.
He was old and bent and wrinkled.
His poor, thin hand shook as with a
palsy, and the tears rolled slowly down
his face and fell on the face OF her who
slept the eternal sleep.
And he who wept lived again the days
that had gone by,-days happy and full
Of Joy. He looked back through the
long vista Of the departed years and
saw her who now lay cold and still
walking with him hand in hand, a
maiden, through quiet groves and along
grassy lanes as the sun sank low in
golden splendor. He lived again the
years they had lived together and to-
gether builded home. toiling and
struggling on and on through the heavy
days and weeks and months, sustained
and comforted in LIES hardships by the
comradeship Of perfect mutual sym
pathy.
And now she was dead and gone. He
was alone. Then, in his grief, he dreamed

the dead alive, revivifed. She walked
through grassy pastures. along quiet
streams-and waited for him. In some
mysterious way death had been over
come, and she over whose body he was
bending even then, in the beauty and
radiance of her maiden youth, awaited
his coming on the further shore.
So was the mourner comforted. His
dream became real to him. He called
it instinct. He looked on the world, and
10! it glowed and cleaned in the soft
and loving hues Of the amber and the
violet.
And while he lived his life and
dreamed lis dream, while he saw the
world through the seven hued arch Of
radiant hope, she who had died. was
dead. Only the dreamer did not
know it.

THROUGH COLORED GLASSES


immortality, is everywhere. In every
city. in every state. throughout the
nation the fostering gangrene OF public
dishonor is fast eating away the integ.
rity and morality OF the American
people. Politics, it is game OF the
partisanship Of the many and the or eed
Of the few. And the many.--they who
make dishonesty possible, who vote for
it and hurrah for it,-they are the most
culpable.
The citizens Of Lincoln who voted for
Frank Graham and prostitution and
gambling and bad government, because
they were on the repu blican ticket, and
against morality and good government
because they were running as demo-
crats,-they are the real criminals.
They are the cause,-Frank Graham,
ct al, are the inevitable effects.
But, as starte in to say. our flag,
what does it stand for? Today it
means nothing more or less than care
less, ignorant people knowingly sane
tioping public dishonesty and national
immortality. Tomorrow, and that
morrow soon to dawn, it will represent
poop lie themselves dishonest, sordid and
debased, and unfit for self government.
Then will come our Caesar,-and then
our fall.
And in the meantime, the sanity,
scholarly city Of Lincoln may be de-
penued on to elect any yellow dog that
runs for Office on the republican ticket
next spring.
The complete works Of Robert Brown
ing have recently been published in a
single volume by Houghton, Mifflin &
Co. The Typography Of the volume is
very clear and the paper and binding
tasty and substantial. am glad thus
to see Browning put in reach Of all
classes Of people, and, as this volume is
published at very moderate price,
would suggest that Lincoln culture,
which has so signalized itself by it's
greedy appreciation of Beside the Bon
ME Brier Bush" and the Prisoner of
Zenda," might still further evipce its
existence by adding Browning to its
visiting list.
The doctors disagree. Our duty as a
christian nation" toward Venezuela
does not seem to be clearly marked.
One minister arises in his pulpit and de-
elares that we will be acting in an I'M
christian manner if we take one of two
possible courses. and another minister
at the same time declares our action will
be reprehensible if we take the other
course. 1t seems a clear case of "be
damned if you do. and be damned If you
don't"
Said DR.. Rowlands. in his published
sermon last Sunday:
Venezuela is turbulent, half-civiliz-
ed and half-savage. misnamed .repub-
lie in South America" and he declares
that:
so far as the interests of civilization,
morality and religion are concerned, it
would be a blessing il the British flag
waved over every inch Of Venezuela"

hand, says:

G. A. r. tea pot because OF Professor
Fossler and the American flag, it may
not be amiss to remark that Americans
never had so solemnly appropriate an
occasion to feel ashamed for their flag
as they have in this year Of our Lord,
1896-Farragut post to the contrary not
withstanding.
There was time when America and
free government were worth fighting
for and dying for,-but that was in the
good old days, in glorious remin iscences
Of which the veterans are living. and de-
Tending which they speak for their
flag. There was time when our free
institutions stood for great principle,
and when statesmen and jurists. spot
less in character, pure in motive and
grand in ability. stood champions in
their behalf. There was a time when
our laws were enacted on behalf Of So
ciety. when they were executed with
honor and integrity, and passed upon in
the clear light Of reason and justice be-
tween man and man.
But the time Of good and honest gov
eminent has passed. The grand old
statesmen and jurists, Of high ideals
and lofty purposes have gone, and their
places have never been filled. A people
who believed in democracy, equality and
justice have been replaced by a people
WHO believe only in the dollar, and any
way to get it. Our free institutions,
cemented with the lifes blood of patriot
fathers, have come to be mockery and
q farce in the hands OF degenerate sons.
Official ife,-we say it and know it, is
corrupt. Dishonesty and fraud are at a
premium. Bad laws may be bought Of
the law makers, good laws may be rend-
cred null and void by the purchase Of
their executors, and justice, in be-
draggled ermine, with both eyes open
wide, allows her scales to be freely
tipped with bags Of gold. These things
not only may be, but are. We know it,
because we see it here at home.
There is not good citizen Of Lincoln
but knows that the administration Of
our city government reeks in stultified
dishonesty, shameless indecency and
br azen defiance Of every principle OF a
good, pure government. There is not
an intelligent citizen of Nebraska but
knows that many of the laws on our
statute books were bought and paid
for; that while fraud ard corruption
have been unearthed galore in the ad-
ministration Of state institutions, what
has been discovered is as nothing to
what is daily practiced and unrecorded.
From the policeman on his beat to
the Judge on the bench and the execu-
tive at his desk, every official in public
life today looks upon his
office as private snap. Public dishon-
esty and peculation are not considered a
private disgrace.
Such is the condition Of our govern
ment today. This is the meaning Of
Free America" modernized and up to
date. II there was ever

Confidence in Brown.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-The First
Congregational church last night
adopted resolution OF confidence In
the integrity and uprlghtness Of the
Rev. G. o. Brown. The resolution,
which was temporarily defeated q
week ago through the efforts of Mrs
Sarah b. Cooper, the co-pastor OF the
church, was not adopted without q
bitter struggle, in which many re-
marks were made not usually heard in
a house OF worship.
Dr.Brown's wife made "A lengthy ad-
dress, In which she accused Mrs. Sarah
b. Cooper of bringing sorrow to
her husband by introducing Mrs.
Stockton TO DIR. Brown. This brought
forth u spirited reply from Mrs.
Cooper's daughter Hattie, in which
she accused Mrs. Brown of utterlng
falsehoOds.
The resolution OF confidence was
adopted by Il vote l25 to 70. A
peculiar feature of the vote was the
fact that almost all OF the young
people of the church especially the
young men, refused TO vote confidence
In Dr. Brown. The gray heads voted
confidence.

BOSSES IN CITIES.

No discussion OF Bossism I'm Amer
lean politics can be satisfactory with
out a parallel consideration Of the
Primary system under which 1T flour
ishes. Bossism and machine politics
exist simply because they can; not
because they are indispensable, just as
slavery and piracy foulshed, until the
laws Of nations rendered those insti-
tutions impossible.
American politics as now existing,
is an anomaly Of highly perfected law
at one end and a perfect barbarlsm at
the other, which is unfortunately the
beginning. BY the Australian ballot
system We protect the freedom, the
purity. the secrecy and the perfect
equality Of all vooes cast, so far as it
Ia possible for human ingenuity to
accomplish that result. The party
primary and the nominating conven-
tion we leave unguarded, or, what is
worse, guarded by those who prey off
the body polite.
The voter at the ballot box Is not
the unit of our political system, as we
fondly suppose. The ballot box Is not
the place where the people register
their DEGREES as TO who shall govern
them, or what that government shall
be. The unit OF our government is
the party voter who goes for hire, or
at the behest Of selfish solicitation, to
the precinct primary and votes for
delegates to the county convention.
The citizen at the ballot box only |
atifies the decree Of the slate-makers
at the primaries. lie has the option
OF defeating their ticket at the polls,
but he uses that opportunity so rarely
that the exception proves the rule.
As 2s,OOO,OOO Of the American peo-
pie are gathered in cities, where the
more or less corruptly managed party
primary Is the dominant force in our
state and national politics, the ques-
tlon arises: III the unit of all our
political activities be contaminated, |
II the fountains OF our politics are
impure and unpatriotic, how can the
result be otherwise than a dlsappoint-
ment and failure? The primary is
the lever with which the boss lifts
the world Of American politics.
