A Man with Els yIead On.

Some people pretend not to admire
Hon. John Nanamaker. He could not
be elected senator from Pennsylvania.
There are those who think he makes too
much parade Of his piety and Sunday
school business.
Well, these things are matters Of
taste. But for u part, when we wish
to instance a man who Keeps his head
en- in trying situations, who is cool as q
cucumber and knows exactly how to do
the right thing in the right place. we
shall hereafter mention John Wanna
maker. A man who could do as he did
during the late fire at his Philadelphia
store is a genius. a person of infinite re-
sources.
The fire was raging at daylight. Mr..
Wanamaker was ON the premises from 7
o'clock On. Ee had n well drilled fire
LrigaGe among the men and boys of his
establishment, in anticipation Ct just
such an event as this. The amateur fire
brigade undoubtedly saved tho great
store from going up in flames. Further
more, Mr.. Wanamaker drew from his vast
supplies of rubber overcoats and boots
generous quantities of these articles and
bestowed them without price not only
on his own brigade, but on the regular
Gremen who were ON duty in the ice OF
tbo zorro weather What is more. he saw
to it that from the bakery close by hot
coffee and rolls were distributed to all
the fire fighters en- that dreadful day.
In person he directed every movement
Of his own men. He aided the city fire
force in many ways. He knew better
what to Go tLan almost any Il else
there. Long live the Hen. John Wanna
maker, and may he always prosper

Very little has been heard of the state
of Nevada for many years. School chill
dren find it still on the map, but that is
about all. Lately. however, Nevada has
been mentioned. The name of the
mention is so little to her credit that it
would have been better il she had not
Weakened even temporarily from her
hypnotic sleep. She walked up only long
enough fer her Legislature to pess a bill
permitting prize fighting within the
state cn payment Of a license Of 81, eco.
This was to pave the way for the alleged
GElt that is to Comc eff between Corbett
and Fi,aslmmons. Nevada must be poor
indeed-rocr in spirit IS il purse.

A BARTON COUNTY farmer had 80
acres Of land which had raised crop
Of wheat the year before. A consid-
cradle quantity of the wheat had
fallen from the heads before and
during the harvest. Last fall the
farmer started his son blowing for
the years crop. The son fell sick
and by the time he had recovered
there had been hard rains aud the
volunteer wheat was coming up 80
nicely that the farmer concluded to
TRIP 1t for a crop. Without blowing
or planting the ground the farmer
sold the crop from the volunteer seed
for $1,1OO. This actually occurred IN
Barton county.

The HERALD rejoices when an es-
teemed contemporary, even though it
belongs to the opposition, stands up
for the candidates on its chosen ticket
The Almena PIaindeGler in speaking
of the nomination of j. r. Hamilton
for Judge rather overdoes the matter
when it says;
with him on the bench this dis.
trict would be one Of the strongest in
the state; differences between citizens
could be settled according. to the law
and the facts without the expense Of
taking the matter to higher court"
If the statement Of the PLGindeGIeT
is true the supreme court and the
courts of appeal could be abolished
This would necessitatS q complete
revision Of our criminal and civil pro-
COeduve. The Plaindealer slopl
over. There have been cases wherein
Mr.. Hamilton and the supreme court
differed.

SECRETARY BLISS has taken Cognlz-
ance of the rush to the Klondyke
gold fields and Alaska, and has issu-
ed the following warning:
"To whom it may concern:
an view of information received at
this department that 5000 persons
with 1000 tons Of baggage and
freight are now waiting at the en-
trance to White pass, in Alaska, for
an opportunity to cross the noun
tains to the Yukon river, and that
many more are preparing to join
them, l deem it proper to call the
attention of all who contemplate
making that trip, to the exposure

Several "Ifs."

II the last national democratic ad-
ministration failed, why? If the mil
lions Of republicans with probably
much over half OF the wealth of the
country in their hands had prudently
refrained from prophesyIng disaster,
failure and ten thousand other woeful
evils, do you not believe that times
would have been far better? If the
republicans in power, executing tariff
laws enacted by democrats, secure
sufficient revenue to meet the current
expenses Of the government, then
doee it not follow that il they had
been patriotic, when out Of power,
that times would have been more
pTosperousi If the trusts and man
ufsCturers refuse to carry on their
affairs when our government fails to
create for them by law, the home
country as favored market for their
goods, then is it not better, though
not just, to levy tariff on the other
citizens of the country to enrich them.
II the manufacturers and the trusts,
like the pirates OF the high seas have
the power to destroy II they fail to
secure proper protection for their
goods within the hounds of our
country, then would it not be best
for us to submit to even vicious laws
rather than incur their displeasure
II the leading nations Of the earth
have by law Disseminated against
silver, then is it not reasonable to
believe that silver IN the markets as @
commodity would decline?
II Liverpool in free trade England
with all the silver countries accessible
regulates the price Of wheat and other
things that our farmers have to
sell, then wherein does the high
protection law that was enacted only
to psotect the home markets benefit

ATTORNEY GENERAL BOYLE is liable
to get into trouble. Some time ago
Supt McNall' revoked the license OF
the Mutual Life OF New York. The
company then went before Judge
Williams of the United States court
and secured an order restraining
either Boyle or McNall from inter
ferlng with the company's agents.
Mr.. Boyle then commenced quo tcGr-
ranto proceedings against j. Il. Lord,
general agent Of the company. Hence
Mr.. Boyle is in contempt OF the Unit
cd States court, and may be jailed for
his act. Mr.. Boyle has this to say re-
garding the position he takes:
1T is a question whether the filing
of this suit is a violation Of Judge
Williams order. He erjolned me
from bringing any action, either
criminal or evil, against the COM
pany or any OF Its agents. l don't
know whether this will be taken as
an infraction Of the order, but that l
had the right to make this inquiry Of
the company's agent, I have no doubt.
There is no disposition on my part
10 defy Judge Williams, I am per-
forming what l consider my duty.
II these people can write insurance
without license, anyone else can do
the same. Our insurance laws are
set at defiance; there ID no protection
for anybody.
II don't think Judge Williams
order meant what it seemed to in
dictate. At any rate it is important
that the people of this state should
discover just how far federal judge
can 90 towards restraining state Of
ficers--who have taken an oath to per-
form certain duties--in the perform
ance of said duties.
"Thls ls a positive defiance Of our
state laws. II can not be possible
that Judge Williams means by his
order that he will restrain an execu-
tive officer Of sovereign state from
doing his plain duty. IT federal
Judge Of Arkansas, while taking his
baths at summer resort in Colorado
can suspend for a limited time the
operation Of any portion of the laws
Of the state Of Kansas, then a federal
Judge, no matter where he may be,
can stop the whole machinery Of our
state government, appoint a receiver
and act as general dictator Of state
affairs. II this order, with its sweep
ing intent, can stand, IL is simply re-
evolutionary"
II have no desire to preclpitate q
clash between the federal and local
courts, but 1t is Of great vital import
snce that the people should know de-
finitely wether state has any rights
that a federal judge must respect. II
we have no rights, then state govern
mant is q useless expense.

ROB ROY.

Rob Roy the most recent and melo
diOus Of the several comic operas composed
by Reginald De koyrn with lyrics by
Harry b Smith will be heard in this city
on Thursday, March 18th, The house will
doubtless be crowded with tho most i'm
portant perSonages and leading social
lights. In New York, where the Opera
ran for mouths, it was said by music
lovers to be, without NY possible excep.
ton or doubt, the most meritorious and
pleasing comic opera presented in this
country for several seasons 1t will be
produced here with all sumptuous stage
settings which made the performance n
notable one in the metropolis. Many
musical critics 90 so far as to say that it is
absolutely the best work that has come
from native composers. The opera is not
forctbly striking for its beautiful melodies
ensembles and quartet work, but has
which is exceptionally rare in works Of its
class a real plot The plot is founde! on
the romantic history of Sir Walter Scott,
and it has for its principal characters
Edward Stuart the young Pretender, who
is secretly married to Rob Roy. The other
fetching, entertaining and brilliant char.
aCters are numerous.
