THE NEW
SNOW.

from clear sky. The fresh
snowfall is yet undisturbed; it lies
thick in the branches Of the ever
green's and is hardly tracked in the
street. It is attacked only where men
pass; in our travel we tramp under
foot the purest thing on earth. It is
too pure; it can not last that way in
mems world. 1t comes from some
high and remote region, where there
is nothing to soil it's whiteness, and
brings it's own atmosphere with it. 1t
is not an earthly atmosphere, however,
and it does not belong in the real
world of life. There is no life where
everything is so pure and cold. AS the
sun shines OH it and men hurry over
it, it takes on the character of the
place it has come to, and presently it
is no longer snow, but mud and slush.
But the next snow will be just as pure
and white again.

Nebraska can, if
it chooses, stand
in the front rank

of the exhibiting states at
the st. Louis Exposition. If it
limits it's display to patchwork
quilts, hams and ears of corn, the
wearied visitors will pass it by and
lump it in his mind with a dozen
other agricultural states but visitor
who came to the fair and discovered it
to be an epitome of the history of the
great West, would feel intelligently
grateful to Nebraska if he found in
our display continuous story of the
last century's development. We have
been in it all. The navigators Of the
great mountain highway, who went
up stream by paddle, cordelle or
steam, all passed by our front door;
the Indian tribes that the explorers
first came in contact with were for
the most part residents of Nebraska !;
The Astorians, the fur traders, the
Mormons, the soldiers, the gold hunt
ers all traversed our state. Is there
not material here for display such
as no other state can make?

in it's last issue. We have offended this
excellent society journal in two points;
we have likened it to lady, and we
have said that Omaha evaded the pay
ment of her just debts. The Excelsior
feels the first injustice to the depths
of it's excelsior bosom; and indeed we
will not offend in that manner again.
AS to the second matter, we see no
objection to being explicit, if Omaha
does not mind. We know of cases,
and so do number of other people in
different parts Of the country, where
the city of Omaha has, in effect, issued
checks for value received upon banks
where she had no funds. Some of the
holders of these documents live in Me-
braska City; that is how we come to
know of it. These holders, after wait
ing several years. took their case to
the courts, which promptly gave
Judgment against the city. A judg-
ment of the district court requires
satisfaction; how do the officials Of
Omaha undertake to meet this judg.
ment?
Actually, by issuing new set Of
identical checks upon the same bank,
SO to speak, where they had no funds.
Is it straining probability to say
that such incidents as this, becoming
known, may weaken peoples belief in
the integrity of the city government
of Omaha?

calls me Ginger is going to get

paper offices to illustrate danger
some people fall into of saying more
than they need to say. If this man
had not suggested it, nobody would
ever have thought of calling him
Ginger-which of course they all did
from that hour.
The editor of the Omaha Excelsior,
in reviewing complimentary notice
that we recently gave him, says that
criticism of his publication is invari-
ably confined to one of two lines peo-
pie either call him "she" or "Clem-
entina''-which would appear to us to
be much the same thing. We called
him she in entire innocence, having no
suspicion that we were following a
beaten path; we thought maybe he
would like it.
But "Clementina" would never
aided imagination. Now that it has
been suggested, however, we must ad-

ate it from the Excelsior in. future.

Wolves in the deep ravines,
Turkeys in the tangled woods,

Better these than stinking towns,
Foul creeping things that shirk and lie
Cut and wound with forked tongues,

Where children beg and cry for meat

And babes are blue and pinched with cold !;
