tnat could De READ. Inc very lnIef1o(
and hurried press work on the othe,
two Lincoln daily papers produces
sheets which can be read only at the
expense of eyesigirt and the liberal en-
ployment of q talent for rebus read
ing. The vertical hne between each
faint word on tie pages of the morA-
ing and evening paper would disgust
q publisher who possessed any pride
or desire to give the subscribers their
moneys worth. A comparison Of the
Lincoln dailies with the Omaha or
Chicago papers will convince those
who doubt the fairness of this criti-
cism, that the local publishing COM
pany is turning out a very cheap and
ugly paper, the hsbitual reading Of
which must inevitably injure the eye
sight. But the typographical illegi-
bility of the dailies in question is not
the only objection the subscribers
make. The paucity Of telegraphic
news and the colorlessness and re-
moteness of the editorials are in Greet
contrast to the product of modern
journalism produced by publishers OF
even the second class.
The Courier will continue to print
neat legble weekly paper and incl
dentally to occasionally point out the
cheapness and the primitiveness Of
the daily papers now wholly in con-
troll of those who have made policy
and the job Office their guiding star in
spite of the difficulty of constructing
a guiding star out of the two afore-
said properties.

The young ladies' from the Atlantic
and Pacific coast were astonished at
the size and character Of the univerai-
ty, as well as at the size and beauty of
Lincoln. The arrangements Of the 10
cal chapter for the entertainment OF
the delegates were very complete and
were successfully carried out. Consid-
ering the comparatively small mem-
bership and the numbers entertained
by all forms of diversion possible in a
waterless resort like Lincoln, the de-
votion and ability and organization of
the local chapter is worthy of the COM
mendation it has received from all who
have reflected upon il.

entirely ignorant OF the fatal conse-
quences of their inability to perform
their duty. To the private soldiers
who are about to be mustered out the
duty Of urging such action on their
representatives in congress will be
apparent as it never has been before.
With the military gag removed they
are at liberty to reveal the sufferings
caused by Algerism and they will
probably exercise the rights of an
American citizen without being urged.
In consequence of military discipline
the storm has not yet broken over the
head of the secretary Of war, but that
it is about to break is indicated by
the interview with General Miles and
his report of the confusion he found
on his arrival in Cuba, and the ap-
preaching mastering out of the vol
unteers. The secretary's resignation
would have the effect OF surrender
and might influence congress to

NEVER GET THIRSTY.


There are certain lucky creatures
which never feel the pangs Of thirst,
for they are so constituted that drink
Is unnecessary to them and they never
swallow drop of water in their lives.
Among these animals are certain ga

Patagonia.
