A Gras.hopper story.

I've been reading those grasshopper
stories of Gillespie's. and 1 don't think
much of them. For a Nebraskan, ne
seems to be woefully lacking in knowl-
edge of what was one year the biggest
crop we ever had. l can tell you a
true grasshopper story that's hum
mer'
So said Mr.. Charles M. Rigg of Bea-
trice, Neb., as he leaned comforta bly,
back in an easy chair in the New Will
lard lobby, says the Washington Post.
Mr.. Rigg is one of the best known Re-
publicans of the state. having material
ly assisted the campaigners and or
ganizers of the tree-planting region
during several years of political strenu-
BUSINESS.
People are inclined to turn up their
noses when we tell them that back in
the seventies we had plague of grass
hoppers which used to eat down a corn
field in three hours, chew up railroad
ties, bite cattle to death, and some
times attack men, women and children
l am here to state that it would be
hard to exaggerate the ferocity of the
grasshopper that swooped down on us
that time. He was big and he was
fierce, and, worst of all, he was numer-
Gus.
The most ravenous bunch, believe,
was encountered near Lincoln by an
old friend of mine, who was out hunt
ing with his son. One night they put
in at a farm house after a hard days
tramp, and asked permission to stay
for supper and sleep till morning.
When the meal was served. the coffee
was about the first thing brought on.
1t was awfully black, but my friend
realized beggars could not be choos-
ers. A sugar bowl sat in the middle
of the table, with a pewter spoon in
it. The host helped himself to sugar,
stirred his coffee with the sugar spoon,
tasted the fluid, and put the spoon
back. The bowl went around the ta-
Bile, all the family initiating him.
When. it came to my friend he asked
for another spoon.
Haven't got no more.' the host
said
What you are keeping house with
only one spoon? What has become of
all your others?"
'Grasshoppers ate 'em all up"

THE POWER OF MONEY.

Because he is the president of a cor
poration which has more than a bill
lion of dollars of capital-a corpora zion
that will have surplus of earnings,

and 4 per cent. on it's commonA stock,
of more than $4O,000,O00 as the result
of the first year of it's existence
Charles Schwab is the guest in Europe
of kings and princes. The doors of the
most exclusive houses are opened to
him and his wife and the most costly
wines are offered to him without price.
1t is well to understand that Mr..
Schwab's acquaintance is not sought by
rulers, mobiles and wealthy men of Eu-
rope for any other reason than he rep
resents money. He is no doubt a very
agreeable sort of a man In his way-a
man who has literally risen from the
business, is a man of ability, but his
business qualifications would not bring
him the honors and attentions that are
reserved for royalty If it were not for
the fact that the dominent class of
Europe is dazzled by the wealth he
represents.
After all, money counts for more than
anything else in the worlds estimation.
In comparison with the fortunes which
many Americans have, titles of nobility
appear to be of small account in coun-
tries where titles are common. 1t is
doubtful if there is a nobleman in Eu-
rope to whom the Emperor of Austria
would show so much attention as he
showed to MIR. Schwab.
There was a time in this country
when the question, who was his grand
father? was an important one. Now
the question, how many millions has
he? is a much more important one. The
man with a grandfather is not always
a welcome guest. The man of millions
is always welcome.

OchiItree's Damage Suit.

Col. Tom" Ochiltree of New York,
Texas, Paris and elsewhere was tell

how he broke his leg on the day Pres
ident Harrison was inaugurated, says
the Washington correspondence of the
Philadelphia North American. He was
was in a Pennsylvania Railroad cab,
and, the horse running away, threw him
out, causing the fracture. Col. Ochil-
tree promptly entered suit against the
company for $4,000. Six months later
he met Frank Thomson, president of
the Pennsylvania, and John Hoey,
president of the Adams Express Com
pany, in Paris. He was still on
crutches.
Still using crutches, Tom?" asked
Mr.. Thomson. II thought you would
have discarded them long ago"
well, my doctor told me 1 could go
without them several months ago, "
replied Col. Ochiltree, but. my law
yers advised me to continue their use
until after 1 had a settlement with
your company"
Mr.. Thomson suggested that Mr..
Hoey act as arbitrator, and they settle
the mater out of court Col. Ochiltress
agreed. and Mr.. Hoey awarded him $5,-
900, and his doctors and lawyers fees.

Roosevelt In Washington.

Ex-Congressman John S. Wise of
Virginia, now of this city, is a warm
personal friend of President Roosevelt,
says the New York Times. Being in
Washington a few days ago he visited
the White House and was promptly ac-
corded an interview. In the course of
the conversation the President is said
to have suddenly remarked:
'Now. John, you are a very observing
man and know pretty near what is go-
ing on. Tell me what the people seem
to think of my administration"
"Oh, Mr.. President" Mr.. Wise re-
piled, .the opinion seems to be that
you will go down to posterity as a
Washington.
81 am delighted to hear that" the
President is said to have answered, in
terruptingly as he grasped Mr.. Wise's
hand and shook it heartily. But as he
released his hold Mr.. Wise continued:

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says:
out with the announcement that only
some souls are immortal, desirous of
acquiring further notoriety at the
hands, says of that Chicago minister
who wishes to skin alive the man who
questions the infallibility of the BIZ
BILE and of those Nashville ministers
who propose to use shotguns to keep
theatrical performances out of the
building erected for the performances
of the Rev. Sam Jones?'
The Hartford (Conn.) Times Dem. }
says: I'VE have never taken any
stock in the theory that Schley wishes
to be nominated by a political party
for the presidency. But any further
proceedings at the Navy Department
which can be made to appear in the
light of persecution will surely have
a strong tendency to force that honor
upon him. Is 1t possible that such a
thing is really desired at the Navy De-
partment or the White House? We
hope not"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says: Surely ex-President Cleveland
was right when ne said that nations
that violate the dictates of right and
justice can no more escape ultimate
punishment than individual wrong
doers. Those nations OF the world live
longest that can best moderate their
passions"
The Philadelphia Times (Dem.) says
Republicans in Congress are wrest-
ling with two great problems: FIRST.
how 20 get reciprocity without recip-
rocating. and, second, how 10 reduce
the war taxes without losing any OF
the revenue"

AN OLD ISSUE COMING TO THE
FRONT.

FHONI.
There are indications that the tariff
question will play an important part
in the next national election. 1t may
figure prominently in the congressional
elections next fall. All through the
West there is a growing feeling that
the present protective tariff is not a
protection to American workmen, but
is, on the contrary, a means for prac-
tically robbing the American people.
That il is so is shown by the net earn
ings of the United States Steel Cor
poration, known as the billion dollar
steel trust. That corporation, after
paying all fixed charges and a fair
dividend on hundreds of millions of
stock that is believed to be pure water,
will have at the end Of it's first year
900. No such enormous profits
could be made IL the protective tariff
did not enable the steel companies 70
get from American consumers prof
it's which approach robbery. 1t Is as
serted that these steel companies sell
their products abroad at much lower
prices than they get in the home mar
ket. That is not right, and the peo-
pie will not submit to 1t. The de-
mand for tariff reform is just begin
ming to be heard. Speaker Henderson
and all the other Republican leaders
combined will not be able to check it.
1t is bound to play an important part
in the campaigns of the near future

SOMEBODY is TO BLAME.

Somebody is to blame for the pres
ence in the city of New York of the
very large amount of dynamite which
exploded there on Monday, and killed
half dozen people and wounded half
hundred or more, besides partly
wrecking a number of costly build
ings, but there will be trouble in find
ing out who the person is.
The law allows only a small amount
of dynamite to be stored at any one
/ locality within the city limits.
According to one New York paper the
amount that exploded and did such
damage was about half a ton. 1t is
said that the tunnel contracting COM
pany had permission to bring into the
city 62 pounds. 1t is doubtful if per-
mission to bring in that amount was
is to blame for violating the law. If
much more was taken in, and with
out a permit, the severest punishment
ought to meted out to the guilty party.
The new district attorney, Mr.. Je-
rome, has a chance now to show that
he is looking out for the welfare of
the people. No influences ought to be
sufficient to turn him aside from the
performance of his duty. Somebody is
guilty of a grave offense-an offense
which caused death and suffering and
great loss of property-and punish
ment should follow for the purpose
of preventing a repetition of such an
offense, - If for no other reason.

Eight or ten years ago John A.
Bunting was a brakeman on a Cali
fornia railroad At present he is a
guest at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
York. He went to New York in his
own private car, and can draw his
check on the bank for 81 ,000, 900. The
story that is told is that when, as a
brakeman, Bunting had saved up a
few dollars he made a loan to a fell
low railroad man of $170, taking as
security a cheap watch and a mort
gage on forty acres of cheap land in
Kern county, California. The borrower
couldn't pay up, so Bunting fore
closed his mortgage and secured title
to the land. A year or so afterwards
oil was struck in Kern county and
Bunting's land was directly in the oil
district. The rest may be guessed.
Whether this story is straight or not
the paper that tells it leaves some
thing to be desired in the narrative
the fact remains that Bunting is now
a very rich man and has one of the
finest private cars in the world, and
tells 1t himself that only a few years
ago he was a brakeman.
