The Republican Primaries are Called
for April 18th.

The old party scene shutters
appear to be having an anxious ex-
perience. Cleveland is again talked
of as the only candidate that fills
the bill, since Mckinley is the
most probable candidate on the
republican side. But all is in the
most delightful uncertainty.

The following are the titles of some of
the most important bills passed by the
legislature. Not much light is shed on
the character of the laws by the title
however.
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1896-04-04

A comfortable California trip can be
taken every Thursday at 1890 a. m. in
through tourist sleeping car, Lincoln to
Los Angeles without change via the
Burlington. Remember this when ar
ranging for your winter trip. Depot

feet. His eyes were burnt out fires set
half way back in his head. His cheeks
were hollow and palid under the rouge.
his lower lip was a different shape from
his own firm feature and dropped more
and more as death cane on. His hands
shook all the time he was on the stage.
Mr.. Mansfield has a dramatic con-
science as exacting as Savorarola's. He
does not spare himself nor his troupe.
Infinite pains he takes to present play
correctly though there be only few
who recognize his integrity.
He made the old roue so disgusting
and 90 real that shadow walked be-
hind the people on the way home and
its soft footballs frightened them until
work drove it away. An artist can have
no greater triumph. Richard Mansfield
made terrifying and abiding reality
from the dramatist's faint words. In
spite OF the desire to forget that horrid
old man il is impossible. He had some
virtues-better call them traits which
were not go bad. He was not hypo-
critic, and although he was not gener-
GUS. neither was he miser. He did not
hoard his money. His wife dressed very
well. and he gave petit soupers to un
grateful danseuses.
His troupe we're well enough but some
thing made them wooden. 1t was their
infiexible lines which they had not talent
enough to bend to their USE
tombstone Bennett looked strange as a
countess. She seemed to be conscious
that as star she had shot out Of her
place but meditated another fight.
Miss Eleanor Cary and Mr.. Orrin
johnson, mother and son in the play.
were the only good looking family on the
stage. Beatrice Cameron was not
charming nor pretty. In Beau Brum-
mel she was light and graceful anyway.
Her mouth droops and two acts Of droop
and whine do not produce pathos. The
part is especially unfortunate for her.
The woman who car wear large hat
to the theatre and not take it off when
she gets there, announces to all who can
see her absolute Indifference to tine
rights of others. She shows that in her
own person she has baked civilization,
that 80 far as she is concerned there is
no such thing as evolution But she Is
an angel Of mercy compared to the man
who can go to the theatre, sit beside
ladies and spit on the floor. The thea
tire hat is growing smaller and fewer.
Spitters have no mercy and no conscious
ness OF the nausea they create. Surely
a woman has some rights. doubt not

choose the latter as an emancipation.

tie more cousiderate. II boomers are
unfeminine, they are the only costume
a woman can wear and keep her dress
free OF foulest stains. The steps Of the
postoffice which hundreds OF victims go
up and down every day are covered with
a filth unspeakable. So long as men
continue to make neatnees impossible to
everything that wears skirts it is incon-
sistent to rail at theatre hats or any
other feminine usurpation.
The times are relieved, there is no
doubt Of it. From grocery store to a
railroad the tension is relaxed aud the
earnings increased with every months
summary. burlington officials feel
elated over the results of the operation
OF their road for February. Instead OF
a net decrease in earnings. as has been
the rule for the last few months, a net
increase of 1882 is shown by the

The actors OF today are so much better
than the plays they play. In Shaks

that died not out because there was
something called the drama which men
respected and which was Shakspere and
