self-sacrificing, faithful father, and
he never left his children to her care,
especially after he had convinced him.
self that Hugh loathed her and loved
another woman. One ever admirable
trait OF Shakspere's is that his char
acters do not do (for them) impossible
things. Shakspere was occasionally
fascinated with a situation, but he
never lost his head and forced his
characters to do what they would not
do. Neither the picturesqueness nor
dramatic quality in any situation
ever tempted him. Miss French sug-
gested that the situation conquered
Miss ChOlmondely's innate acquaint-
ance with her characters and she
made them act inconsistency in order
to produce the denoument.
The author saws that Hugh was q
charming man. but she does not make
him so, and every one wonders why
Rachael loved so effeminate a charac-
ter. These things do not quench the
charm Of the book, which is as persist
ent as the questions it constantly sug-
gests.

portance a man who has given his
solemn word that he will do all in his
power to make republican principles
Intellectual. Mr.. Thompson has given
two public demonstrations of his in
ability to comprehend what fidelity
to party, or to duty. means when they
conflict, as they do in the lives OF all
men, with his own ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
In voting the republican legislative
ticket this fall the republican voters
Of this county will vote against re.
publicanism, everything that it
means, aside from the loaves and
fishes. Mr.. Thompson denied every
cardinal republican principle on his
solemn word, and by so doing he dis
graced the republicans who voted for
him.
Finally, there is no evidence that in
the latter part OF his life and at Wash.
ington he would be found any more
deserving Of the confidence of great
party and worthy of the trust of Ne.
braska than in his past life. when he
failed the depositOrs of a bank i'm
which he was director, or when he
broke faith with the republican eau
Gus in the last legislature and at.
tempted to set aside its vote. 1t is
both bad politics aud bad policy to
select man to a task requiring tidel-
ity and sagacity and patriotism,
highly developed forms of these three
qualities and virtues. who has publicly
proven himself unfaithful and uu.
worthy OF trust. The sequence of per-
Torrance in little things with reward
Of greater duties is too old to be dis
turbed by modern men.

Affluent Mr.. Davis.
Before Webster Davis went to
Africa and espOused the cause of the
Beers. he was living mOdestly at an
eight dollar a week hotel. Since his
return, with sl25, 900 of BOer money,
he lives in the best hotels, and dresses
and smokes and drinks, "as a gentle
man should, sab" His oratOry has
always been considered the best thiIg
about Mr.. Davis. Since it has been
decided by good judges on the demo-
cratic side that he has no oratorical
ability. the Beers feel that they spent
their money on false representations.

Political Ethics,

There can be no question that those
republicans who are too conscientious
to refrain from voting or to vote for
man who would have sold what repub.
licanism he was supposed to stand for,
will vote next month for the populist
or democratic candidates for the legis-
lature. The republican candidates
are pledged to vote for Mr.. Thompson
for United States senator, and the
proof of his offer of sale of his repub-
licanism for an Office does not affect
them.
If treason to the party is to be re-
warded by the highest state Office,
then rcpublicanism in Nebraska
means nothing at all except to the
comparatively few men who make
their living by politics. The election
Of Mr.. Thompson as United States
senator is declaration that republi
cans In Nebraska care nothing for prin-
ciples. The election of Mr.. Bryan or Mr..
Allen to the United States senate will
leave the republican party in this
state intact. The next republican
county convention that meets will
not dare instruct its nominees to
vote for man who has offered to sell
out the party. Republicanism means
something OF nothing. The rank and
file of republicans love the party. its
principles, history and standard
bearers. The rank and file will settle
this question, and it shall not be the
fault of The Courier il every republi-
can voter in this county does not
know when he votes for Richard
ONeill, John J. Trcmpen, A. ". Lane,
Johu b. Mockett, Jr, C. r. Tefft. E. J.

son, man who pledged his solemn
word to the populists that he would
oppose the poIicv Of imperialism, his
solemn word that he would oppose
any increase in the regular army. his
solemn word that he would oppose
the retirement of the greenbacks and
the issuance of currency by banks,
and favor an increased use Of silver,
his solemn word that he would oppose
government by injunction and favor
an income tax, his solemn word that
he would remain out Of republican
caucuses. The rank and file who are
busy six days out Of the week, earn
ing living for themselves and their
families, have, in prosperity and ad-
versity, touching loyalty to repuhli-
can principles, and have never failed
to deposit their vote for republicans.
In voting for the republican candi-

Miss French-Octave Thanei

Miss French-Octave Thanet.
A literary celebrity is not often un-
feignedly interested in crowds of un-
known admirers. A celebrity some
times OstentatiOusly travels incog and
noses about for copy, never forgetting
his own distinguished reality and
mad because his fellow-travelers do not
elbow for sight of him. Miss
French is as Interesting and warmly
human as Thackeray, and l would
just as soon know her, though some.
thing in the comprehendipg and COM
prehensive glance of her grey literary
eyes is disconcerting to one not so
very sure of himself at any time.
In the national world of clubdom,
there is no one, not even Mrs. Lowe
or Mrs. Decker, who is more. beloved
than Miss French. She loves clubs
and club women, to her own bodily
fatigue. She showed it by taking the
shortest and most unpleasant route
over the desert from Salt Lake to Lin
coin, and not stopping in Glenwood
Springs, where the water comes hot
from a boiler a few miles nearer the
center OF the earth, and where the
hot bath that is grateful to the des-
ert.dusted traveller awaited her She
had promised to talk to the women
of Nebraska. and she kept her word,
though the distance between Lincoln
and Salt Lake could not be covered in
the time the effete timetables stated at
Ridgefeld. Connecticut, where Miss
French was sojourning when she
made the arrangement with Nebraska.
Miss French talked about repose
and humour and their alternating
effects upon life and matrimonial
association. She advised every wo.
man to try humour, knowing that even
il a sense of humOur be lacking. the
same thiEg in the way Of state Of
mind or certain way of looking
at events and trials comparatively,
may be cultivated and finally accom-.
plished. An innate and developed
sense of humour is only an abiding
concept of proportion and of the true
relation of things. A humourist sees
small things small and is not deceived
because there are a number of smaller
things 10 the same neighborhoOd.
Miss French speaks with lingering
on the vowels, so noticeable in Mark
Twain's caressing release of the VOW
els in one word OILY to run to those
"a the next. Her address was stimu
latiug and very pleasant finale to
the session OF the Nebraska Fedora
ton of WOmen's Clubs. Miss French
quoted part Of that lovely poem of
William Reed Dunroy's on Nebraska,
which begins:
There may be skies as blue,
bot none are bluer,
Than IN NEBRASKA;
There may be hearts as true,
Bot none are truer,
Than IN Nebsaska.

admission to colored women, if they
ask it, though these did not. A can
did, unsentimental consideration Of
the question will suggest obstacles
that cannot be overcome. In the first
place, the federation, national and
state, was organized by white women,
and so long as a number of members
are OPPOSED to the admission Of Ne
groes, their wishes should be respect
ed. as nothing is more certain than
that IL they were disregarded they
would leave the organization by hun
dreds, and the few Negro women who
entered the federation would not
compensate, either in numbers or in
their receptivity to the elevating in
fuences Of club life, for the white
sisters who were withdrawn.
The Negro race is several centuries
behind the white race in development,
and it IS Questionable il the associ-
alton proposed by some of them would
effect any change except very arti-
fetal one. The Negro must go through
the slow process Of development.
Booker Washington, the truly great
man who knows them better than any
sentimenta'ist, says that close associ-
alton with white folks in this period

fastening it. To associate with Ne

Red Pottase.
Long after reading some books their
characters continue to interest the
mind, and unless the conduct and the
characters are consistent, the mind,
even of the humblesL and most unim-
aginative reader. rebels and refuses to
accept the story as true. In RED
POttage" two characters, in the mid
die background and seldom left alone
10 the center of the stage, are really
the two people in whom every one is
persistently interested. And. of the
two, the man, Lord Newhaven, is
more subtle and more interesting.
He has an Englishman's hatred of
scene, and jealousy refuses to discuss
his wife's wickedness, even with her.
"Lord Newhaven was in his wife's
eyes very quiet man of few words.
That his few words did not represent
the whole of him had never occurred
to her. She had often told her friends
that he walked through life with bis
eyes shut. He had a trick of half
shutting his eyes which confirmed her
in this opinion. When she came
across persons who were after a time
discovered to have affections and in
terests of which they had not spoken,
she described them as "cunning."
She had never thought Edward "cun-
ming" until tonight. How had he, of
all men, discovered this--this-?
She had no words to call her conduct
by, though words would not have
failed her had she been denouncing
the same conduct in another wife and
mother Lord Newhaven invited
the pretty, appealing young man who
had made all the trouble, and whose
name was Hugh, into his study. told
him that he knew all and invited him
to draw one Of two lighters which he
had prepared. telling him that if he
drew the short lighter he must kill
himself at the end of five months.
The reason he did not propose a duel
was Cd account Of his two boys, and
the disgrace of a duel to their mother
Hugh drew the short ligher, but at
the end Of five months continued to
live, and Lord Newhaven had himself
examined by physician, who said he
discovered symptoms of vertigo. The
next day Lord Newhaven fell from a
railroad platform under a moving
train, and was instantly killed. Miss
Cholmondely must know that he
never did anything of the kind, and
she proves it. He loved bis children

THOUGHT HIM A YANKEE
Il Was Because He Knew How to Get a
Tree Out OF Road.

Senator Vest has a story he sometimes
tells to illustrate Arkansas character OF
the Bourbon mossback type. According
to the narrative, the senator, IN tine days
following the civil war, when he practiced
law, had occasion To drive across one OF
the counties Of Arkansas to keep a legal
engagement. He thinks Il was In the
northeast part Of the state, just below the
Missouri line. The journey went very
well until the Senator came across a group
Of natives on the road. Across the road.
way q tree had fallen sQuarely. There
was no way TO get around and lay out q
new road after the usual plan OF dealing
with such an obstruction IN that country.
The tree had to be moved. Nrighbors had
come from all around IN response to the
summons Of the road overseer. They had
strung their teams out and had tried two
or three pulls without any result beyond
breaking a couple Of trace chains. They
had stopped to deliberate on the next step.
The senator looked ut the tree and at the
helpless crowd Of Arkansas natives, and
then said:
"Why don't you cut the tree in two in
the middle and haul the ends out Of the
wayi"
There was a moment Of silence broken
suddenly Ivy one OF the crowd who reached
for his gun, and exclaimed:
Yankee, by gum!'
