That story about the shark
nabblng a man by the arm
at Atlantic City was a fairy
tale, perpetrated, no doubt
by some ambitious reporter
with literary ambitions.
The sharks caught off
Young's pier are not of the
man-eating kind-but it's a
good story, and maybe we
oughtn't to spoil it.
We've taught the makers of bath
ing suits that women want to look as
we'll on the beach as on the boardr
walk. So gored skirts have taken,
the place of box-pleated; straight
front blouses are worn instead Of
sailor blouses; and straight front corr
sets are as necessary in the sea AS
out-the yery cut of the straight
front makes it good to swim, or learn
to swim, in-there's lots of space IT,
breathe in, and every woman needs
little protection.

Much OF our furniture is a
copy of things imported from
England and France. But
France is the enthusiast-al-
ways striving to bring out
new ideas.
Some time ago they offered
large sum of money as a
prize for the artist (they call
them artists there who should
design a style of furniture
entirely different from any
thing that has been used
since the days of Louis XIV.
Nobody has yet won it!

Sidney Telegraph: The announcement In
the Nebraska City Press that Judge Paul
lessen will in all probability be a candl-
date for the republican nomination for gov
ernor IL noted with satisfaction by his large
number Of admirers in this part Of the
state. Judge lessen made a strong speech
against the BARLEY pardon in the last
state convention, following our own VIII
liam Patrick Miles, who, after placing the
Cheyenne county delegation on in one
corner and telling them not TO stir, lifted
his voice for BARLEY and the sanction OF
public pilfering. Judge Jessen's magnetic
utteranees put to shame the bombast of
Miles and turned his arguments into ridicule.
Judge lessen Is Nebraska born and an es-
teemed resident Of Nebraska City. He was
a former law partner Of the late Senator
Hayward. a soldier OF the Spanish war and
is now district judge for Cass and otoe
counties. As a gubernatorial candidate the
Telegraph believes Judge lessen the best
Of timber. He is a man recognized through
out the state for his splendid ability and
political integrity.
Clay Center Sun: The Harvard Courier
mentions the name of a Clay county mar
as It's candidate for eoyernot-a gentleman
that the county will endorse with a right
good will, II he is a candidate. The Courier
trusts that its mention" Of the man II
would delight to honor may be taken Sc
riously by all who have the best interests
OF the state at heart. The best interests
Of the party will be best served by mer
who think more Of protecting the interests
of the people than those Of self. The Cour-
Ter truthfully says: "our candidate is 9
man of the people and for the people, who
has been tried and never found wanting
who is known throughout the state for his
business qualifications, modest demeanol
and strict probity Of character. We do moi
know that he would accept the nomination
If rendered him, but we do know that IL h'
is given the nomination the campaign will
not be an embarrassment to the party, and
that his election would mean to the state
far more than mere party triumph. In al
earnestness, therefore, we advocate thu
nomination OF John B. Dihsmore Of Suttor
for the office of governor Of Nebraska
The Sun heartily seconds the nomination.

AN DfoOBoeAONs
An interesting discussion is on in Ne
braska between various newspaper ex-
ponents Of populism and democracy as
to the proper course to be pursued by
their respective parties IN the coming
political campaign. That the crisis is
approaching in the career OF fusion, as
it has been practiced in this state. is
recognized by the more far-seeing among
the leaders who look for a repetition in
Nebraska with perhaps some modiica-
lions of what has just occurred in Kan
sas. where the populists felt called On
to hold a special state convention to de
termlne their plan OF action.
In the newspaper discussion former
Senator william v, Allen is standing
forward as the champion Of the I'M
broken maintenance of a, separate and
distinct organization for the popullsts,
with only incidental cooperation with
the democrats. Senator Allen insists
that 1t is decidedly questionable whether
the Bryan wing of the democratic party
is destined to continue to remain in con.
troll and in response to the invitation to
the ~populists to give up their organiza-
ton and enroll themselves with the
democrats p~ropounds the pertinent ques-
ton whether the Bryan democrats would
not tamely follow their party back to
the domination of the followers Of Cleve-
land, whom they have been denouncing
as goldbugs and traitors. When the
time comes, apparently the Bryan demo
Gratis may expect to receive an invita-
ton to renounce their allegiance to the
democracy and enroll themselves with
the populists, with whom they have up
to this time been cooperating.
Speaking for the populists, Senator
Allen states his position clearly as fol-
lows: Let us make ourselves under
stood, IL it is possible. We desire, a.
A continuance of the populist party as a
distinct state and national entity. () We
desire to cooperate with the Bryan wing
of the democrats and with all their re-
form elements, and 90 we want the
democrats to cease proselyting populists
and to refrain from attempts to disor-
ganize our party" 1t is the last PROPOSE
ton on which the great stress is laid and
which Is likely to receive the greatest
fire from the democratic side of the
house. The democrats have swallowed
the so-called 'silver republicans" as q
first step, with the absorption Of the
populists down IN the books for the
next VIII they allow themselves to bt
shunted off the track by the populists
ultimatum?

IRRIGATION LroIsLArnv

The United States senate lost no time
in acting upon the irrigation bill. There
was no opposition to the measure and
after consideration lasting only a few
hours 1t was passed without a roll call.
Today the question will be taken up In
the house of representatives, with every
probability Of early and favorable
action.
The extraordinarily prompt disposal of
the matter by the senate was not ex-
pected. A considerable outside opposi-
ton to the policy provided for in what is
known as the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS bill
had been manifested and it was natur-
ally supposed that this would exert an
influence In the senate. 1t Is now seen
that it had no effect and it Is safe to
assume that it will be shown to have
had little in the house. The obvious fact
is that congress has at last become fully
impressed with the Importance Of re-
claiming the arid lands and is willing to
accept such provision for that purpose
as the senators and representatives of
the arid land states believe to be ex-
pedient and adequate. The subject has
been discussed for years and evidently
the prevalent opinion in congress is that
the time has come for something prac-
teal and that further discussion would
result in nothing better than what is
provided for in the bill framed by the
western senators and representatives.
There is nj doubt that the enactment
Of the proposed legislation will be disap-
pointing to a great many, who question
its wisdom and practicability, but prob
ably there is a much larger number that
will be satisfied. We have urged objec-
tons to the bill that passed the senate
and we still think the policy 1t provides
for will prove a mistake. The nationall-
cation of irrigation is, In our Judgment,
the only plan that will give the desired
results and therefore we apprehend the
failure of the policy provided for in the
measure that has been approved by the
senate and will doubtless be approved
by the house within the next few days
But a practical start is desirable and
we shall be glad If the proposed policy
shall have the results its supporters
hope for.

Strange things are happening nowadays.

Chin Tan Sun. muitimillionalre Chinaman,
and the wealthiest Of his race In this coun-
try, came across the ocean in the steerage
as a boy. He made his first money IN the
lottery business in San Francisco.
Twenty-Five sculptors have signined their
intention to submit designs for the statue
Of General Mcclellan which is to be erected
In Washington. This is believed to be the
largest number ever entered in such a COM
petition.
Eugene F. Loud, a representative at
Washington from California, has the dis
~tinction of having received the sword Of
General Pemberton at Vicksburg In the hot
July Of 1853. He was At the time q mem-
Der OF the Second Massachusetts cavalry.
Senator Gallinger OF New Hampshire sent
to the library Of congress the other day for
a bible. One of the Oldest employees OF the
library says that in fofty-two years this
is the second time such q request has been
made by a member OF either branch OF con-
gress. .Ys
1t has always been an unwritten law IN
the New York navy yard that no salute shall
be fred on Sunday. Even when President
Mckinley died the minute guns we're not
fired until the next day, yet the long es-
tablished rule was violated when Prince
Henry arrived.
DR.. Phil Emil Matterson, a Russian four
n%alist, who is now making a tour Of the
United States, says that the. men and wo-
men Of the cars domain want an entirely
different kind Of a paper than that In vogue
In America. They. like the essay, the SER
man and philosophical writings.
Vassili Verestchagin, the Russian war
painter, who is going to make q picture Of
the fight at San Juan hill. has been pre-
sented to the president to afford him an
opportunity Of famiIiarizing himself with
the personal characteristics OF the man who
took such a prominent part In that engage
ment.
Archibald Bard Darragh IL a congress-
man from Michigan and Thomas Robert
Bard is a senator from California. They
never met until they were introduced to
each other recently In Washington. Yet tho
two men had the same great grandfather,
Richard Bard. whose experience during the
French and English war Of 1756-17e0 was
as thrilling as any romance.
Newspaper gossip has It that the Dana
family has given up control OF the New
York Sun. The name OF William NJ. Lsffan
as publisher appears at the head Of the
editorial columns for the first time, al
though he has been Identified with the busi-
ness end OF the paper for years. 1t was
on this the New York Herald perpetrsted
the atrocious pun. "Laffan the world laughs
