A Republican Editorial Gem.

During the past two or three years
The UNION has come across many
gems in the line of republican opinions
of the peoples party, but the biscuit is
cheerfully awarded to the intellectual
giant who presides over the destinies
of the the Falls City (Neb.) Journal.
For the cream of damphoolery we COM
mend the following gem to our read
ers. 1t is taken from the above named
paper and presented without comment.
1t don't need any.
las we read the editorials of the ma
jority of the populst newspapers, we
are more than ever impressed with the
idea that they are edited by a very
dangerous class of men. Dangerous be-
cause they are either ignorant or ma
Iicious, and often both. They are al
most to man advocating the same
doctrine which plunged this country
into civil war a little over thirty years
ago. Their howl is, "Down with the
government" and their sole aim is to
cause diSsensiOn between two classes
of American citizens. And yet if these
fellows of big mouths and little heads
should succeed in starting a rebellion
by their infamed and crazy teachings
they would, like D4bs, be the first to
draw in their horns and whine that
they didn't mean it,"

LAMAR, Mo-, Nov. 17-Last night
Sheriff Livingston and Marshal Rice
went to Boston, six miles south, and
arrested Bill Simpson and Bill Gait
erly, farmers, each aged about 40, on
the charge Of having criminally as
saulted Mrs Jacob S. Resh and thrown
carbolic acid in to her face last Thurs
day evening.
On the road to the Jail here the
officers were stopped by an armed mob
and the prisoners taken and hanged
to tree until they were almost dead.
When they were cut down they con-
fessed the crime, duplicating Henry
Avery, young farmer, and Dave
Mongstar of Carthage.
After the confession the prisoners
were returned to the officers with in
structions to take them to jail. Ex-
citement is high near Boston and the
prisoners may yet be taken from Jail
and hanged.

ers is their highest duty. If the degen-
Grafton of country and the enslavement
of its producers are to be averted; if to
ourselves and posterity the blessings OF
liberty are to be preserved; if the final
industrial and material regeneration Of
the race is to remain a serene and
reasonable hope, there must come en-
lightenment and enfranchisement to
hundreds of thousands of those yet
blinded by partisan prejudice and in
bondage to partisan custom. You
more readily than the members of the
other great allied forces may open their
eyes to the truth and arouse their pa
triotism to action. Let us be thankful
that at length the battle is to be fought
in open, that one after another all
subterfuges have finally fallen, that last
we shall be able to challenge the gold
standard and its associated wrongs and
abuses to meet us in the open forum of
the common sense, the Justice and the
patriotism of the American people
They cannot remain blind to the clear
and now confessed designs of those who
have tratficked in their confidence.
They cannot continue deaf to the Ian
guage of reason and the appeals OF
humanity. Citizenship will rise above
partisanship. The rule of the people
will come again; the people upon whom
our institutions rest, for whom they
were created and by whom they shall
be preserved; the people in this broad
and only true sense: the'people believe
ed in, loved, and trusted by Jefferson,
by Lincoln, by Bryan and all the great
souls that have come to rest the hearts
of men and therefore live in harmony
with the infinite purpose of God.

DANGER FROM LIGHTNING.
Is 1t Increased or Diminished by the
Presence of Many Telegraph Wires?


Presence of Many Telngrarh Wires?
There is a somewha, widespread i'm
preston that the use of so much wire
for telephone and other electrical pur-
poses in cities and towns largely in
creases the danger of lightning strokes
The notion is based upon the concentra-
tion within certain limits of a great
quantity Of conducting material, which,
if is assumed attracts the electricity
and thereby increases the danger of 1T.
While it is true that the increase OF
conducting material increases the at
traction, it is not true that 1t increases
the danger. AS a matter Of fact, it
decreases the danger, for the more sur
face electricity has over which to
spread, the more readily and quickly
it is carried to the EARTH house with
a metal roof is not often struck by
lightning, for, while the metal may at
tract the electricity, it also gives it
room to spread out, and it's force is thus
dissipated This fact was demonstrate t
ed by Franklin with his kite long ago,
and lightning rods are put on bulldlngs
to give storm clouds means or dis
| charging their electricity into the earth.
| This discharge takes place without the
report that we call thunder, for cleo
| tricity makes no noise unless it meets
| some resisting medium. 1t is we'll
known fact that there is lcss danger
from lightning in cities than in the
country, and this is due to the general
use of iron, steel and other metals in
city buildings. The buildings are tall
and would seem, therefore, to be spe-
| cially attractive to the lightning; in
deed, they are often struck, but the
metal in them dissipates the force Of
the fluid and carries it harmlessly and
quietly to the earth. The effect of tele-
phone wires upon atmospheric electric
itv has been under official investiga-
ton by the German department OF
telegraphs, and statistics from 900 cit
les show that the danger from lightning
strokes is four times as great in towns
| that do not have the telephone as ir
those that have it. The conclusion O.
the whole matter, therefore, is that al
abundance of wires gives protection
from lightning, instead Of increasing
the danger.

Tammany Grooming the Kew YORK Man
FOR President in 1890
WASHINGTON, Nov. Il The success
of Tammany in New York at the rec
ent election is to be followed by an
attempt to displace Mr.. Bryan as
leader of the Democratic party and to
make a New York man the next Dem
ocratic candidate for President.
The man whom Tammany and Hill
intend to boom is Justice Alton d.
Parker. The fact that Justice Parker
at the recent election overcame Nc
Kinley's majority Of 1856, 900 and car
ried the State of New York by &c, 900
will be urged as a reason why the
Democratic party should look upon
him as the most available candidate
for the Presidency.
