There is a peculiar case of man
without a country in that Of DR.. ]. N.
Bishop. He was born in Canada, went
to Mississippi when 81 years of age,
served under General Howard in the
late war, took the oath of allegiance
under reconstruction, subsequently re-
moved to New York city where he is
practicing, owns real property in Flor
ida, has filled state and Federal offices,
but never took out his naturalization
papers and is not citizen. He recent
ly applied for passport to enable him
to visit Iceland and was refused be-
cause he was not citizen. The Brit
ish consul would not give him any pa
pers, though born a British subject
and he was forced to sail without his
passport. 1t is wiser always to make
sure Of your citizenship in the United
States. The doctor is not the first man
who neglected to take out papers until
the omission was fatal.

Mark Twain has no sense of proprie-
ty or he has a sense of humor so vast
that all his inimitable efforts in the
humorous line have not even suggest
ed it. He starts to make tour around
the world, stops in London while he
knocks out $4,000 literary job by way
of recuperation, and at the same time
his admirers in America float an i'm
mense subscription to keep him from
starving. Is it joke on Mark or one
of Marks jokes? Either way it is an
immense mockery of want,

CARELESS WORK.

The sewer trenches which were open
ed on East Commerce street almost
two weeks ago are yet Enclosed al
though the pipes have been laid long
ago. The dirt is piled high on either
side of the trench and is a great in
convenience to vehicles. Instead OF
filling in the trenches as the pipes are
laid as should be done and has been the
usual custom, the work of laying the
pipes has continued and the trenches in
which they were already completed
were only partly filled in. The pipes
are laid now as far as Olive street and
the ditch is only yet partly filled in at
Walnut. ..-

DEMAND BILLS OF LADING.

When unknown agents" represent

unknown make of piano in your house,
under the plea of saving storage, ask
them to show you the bin of lading.
Demand 1t; insist on its being produc-

and you'll find in all probability, that
the instrument is a wanderer, and many
months, If not years, since it left the
factory. The price usually asked for
these boxes is $359.09. Offer one-half
or less and your offer will be readily
accepted. We have evidence of this
fact to show anybody, now in our

There is a strong demand by the la
dies Of this country, backed by no in
considerable number of gentlemen,
that there shall be no eXpectorating
in public places. This is right and
proper and a move in the interests of
decency. With the high hat of the la
dies excluded from the theater and
their long skirts no longer sweeping
the streets, and the gentlemen no long
er putting tobacco smoke in everyone's
face in public places and No longer
splitting on the floors of cars and halls
and hotels and other public places, life
will really be more worth living.

Nebraska politicians sneer at South
ern Protectionists as New Englanders

concerned the Nebraska critics will find
that the disguise is growing very thin
and that in the near future the manu-

up solidly with those of New England
for a protective tariff. To this COM
plexion come we at last.

Kaiser Wilhelm is in peck of trou-

PREVENTION in European matters inter-

takes for granted that United States IS

William has not so steadily and ably

self as to entitle him to be considered
the guardian angel OF her political
quietude. The emperor OF Germany
has streaks of insanity as we'll as OF

The Populist party has determined
not to commit political suicide again.
When the next election comes there
will be no swallowing of the Populist
name and platform by the Democrats.
The Populists are determined to fight
under their own banner in the future
and IL the Democrats want to fight
under their banner it is as Populists
that they must be enlisted. This
means a whole lot of things to both
parties. and the damage will not revert
to the Republican party either.
