did that young Mr.. Croesus who's
so attentive to you ask you to give up
the bicycle?" asked the scornful
bloomer girl.
NO, he didn't" Indignantly replied
the young woman, who had locked up
her boomers and put her bicycle
away in the basement.
We'll, it's mighty funny that you
should give up the bicycle. just when
a rich young man who doesn't ride be-
comes devoted to you. Didn't he say
anything about bicycles or bloomers?"
He has never mentioned Them" said
the girl who had given them up, and
then she added, as she looked signifi-
cantly at the costume of the girl in
boomers: 'I1le only thing he said
was that he admired a little dignity ID
a young woman"

Newspapers versus Politicians.

This is the season of the year when
politicians expect to pay "A subscription
price for the support Of newspaper and
fifty dollars for saloons support. In
some cases the paper is only ordered and
never paid for. To the candidate for
public office nothing is SO essential and
necessary to success as newspaper sup
port, and no honorable man should think
of receiving the use of space in paper
without paying for it, any more than he
would think of using space in a hotel
bed without paying, while campaigning.
Many papers devoted to certain po-
htical party's interests are paid large
sums by the Central Committee. and
thus in duty bound to support vigorous
~ the nominees OF that party.
Not so with the paper OF independent
OF neutral political color. Such paper
should be, and usually is. fair and fear
less exponent Of the best interests of the
public, and consequently their influence
can not be had by unworthy candidates.
But because a newspaper cannot con-
sistently support candidate does not
imply that 1t should bitterly oppose him.
Whatever seeming ingratitude may be
evinced toward newspapers by politicians
is not the fault of anybody except pub
fishers whose trucking methods display
alack of knowledge of their own inter
ests. Until newspaper men learn the
value of their stock in trade, they may
expect politicians to look upon the sa
loon investment as a business PROPOSE
ton, and newspaper expense as sort of
necessary evil.

Trans-Mississippi Exposition.

We are in receipt of handsome little
prospectus of twelve pages, filled with
interesting information about the ap-
preaching exposition at Omaha, to be
held from June to November, 1893.
Since the Worlds Fair, the San Fran
cisco, Atlanta, and Nashville attractions
directed wide attention to their sec
tions of the country. Now, at a most
opportune time, the great Middle West
is about to have one that will be only
second to the Columbian celebration in
the closing years of the century.
Omaha is peculiarly well situated to
make such show success, and the
managers are not lndulging any wild or
unreasonable expectations. AS an ex-
ample of this conservatism the estimated
attendance for the five months is placed
at 2,500000 people. 1t is to be hoped
the interest being manifested throughout
Colorado may crystalize into perfected
plans for state exhibit worthy the Cen
/. tennial State.

Lean bill has become a law. the sigma
ture of President Bryan having been af-
fixed at 10:3U this morning Senator
Mclean. who has been the silver leader
in the east, since defeating Mark Hanna
for Senator four years ago, is naturally
gratified that the bill is a law. 1t has
REQUIRED more time for Congress to enact
the coinage law than it did the extra
session of '97 to pass the Dingley bill.
The pen holder used in signing the bill
was made of sixteen parts silver and one
part gold, and the pen of copper. The
silver was taken from the Black Queen,
Catalpa, Inez and Belle mines, and the
gold from the Bear Mountain Tunnel,
Van Deusen and Daisy, while the copper
was from the Lead King. The special
commissioner appointed by the CRYSTAL
council, presented the pen to the fresi-
dent. who after signing his name, handed
it to the national museum OF the Smith
souian institute.
