torstate commerce commission. It
leaves the way open for the Ne
braska senators to endorse the
Steve" Elkins scheme to defeat
the presidents original program
by comforting power, on a long
time schedule, on some other and
less practicable body.
The economical and business
like" administration of the Mickey
regime is commended in the face
of the fact that it has proved the
most extravagant, most expensive
and the laxest that Nebraska has
ever had.
The anti-pass plank, from every
letter of which hypocrisy and in
sincerity peer forth, is merely a
recommendation for a law to
prohibit the giving of free trans
portation on railroads. 1t means
nothing, binds no one, is not made
to apply even to the nominees of the
convention, was drafted by willy
railroad attorney, and is an insult
to the intelligence of the people of
Nebraska.
The platform is silent as to the
demand for lower freight rates.
1t is silent as to the demand for
lower passenger rates.
1t is silent as to the demand for
a fair and just assessment of rail-
road property.
1t is silent as to the demand for
the election of senators by direct
vote of the people.
1t is silent upon the indefensible
record made by the last legislature.
Its one redeeming feature is the
expression in favor of direct pri-
maries-a reform that VIII never
be granted so long as the railroad
representatives that wrote that
platform are able to prevent it.
The nominee of the convention
for supreme judge by the merest
chance happens to be considerably
better than the platform. While
he has never even pretended to be
''reformer'' or anti-railroad"
republican, he is known as man
who is personally clean and COM
petent, and less subservient to
corporation influence than some
other republican candidates of rec
ent years. His nomination means
that the soiled and bedraggled rail-
road banner will be carried, this
fall, in hands that might do honor
to better flag. Upon this fact
the World-Herald congratulates
the voters who, by reason of con-
stitutional immutability, are again
to follow that Standard World
Herald.

Making Others Happy.
When you rise in the morning form
a resolution to make the day a happy
one to a fellow creature, says SYDNEY
Smith. 1t is easily done-a left-off
garment to the man who needs it. a
kind word to the sorrowful, an en-
couraging expression to the striving.
Trif1es In themselves as light as air
will do it, at least for the twenty-four
hours. and II you are young, depend
upon 1t, 1t will tell when you are
old. and If you are old it will send
you gently and happily down the
stream of time to eternity. BY the
most simple arithmetical sum look at
the result-you send one person, only
one. happily through the day; that is
1865 during the course of the year. And
suppose you live only forty years at.
ter you commence that kind of medi.
cine; you have made 14,60O beings
happy, at all events for time. Now.
Is not this simple? 1t is too short for
sermon, too homely for ethics, too
easily accomplished for you to say,

WAITING for a Cent.

The Brooklyn man was taking his
friend from Philadelphia home to dine.
AS they neared the Fulton Ferry the
Philadelphia inquired why SO many
people stood on the outside of the
ferry house.
They're waiting for s o'clock, when
the fare is changed from cents to /
cent" explained the Brooklynite.
"These people would consider them
selves foolish If they went in now.
Some of them are laborers, some
clerks and some millionaires, but not
one buys ticket till you hear the
gong. Lots of them stand around with
stop watches and kick IL she's a sec
ond late. All, there she goes. Come
on"
"Well, III be blessed" said the
Philadelphia, and they joined the
crowd, surging inward on the stroke
of the hell.--New York Sun.

Vicissitudes of LANGUAGE.

Some people believe that English
will one day be the universal language
and look upon the report that the EN-
press dowager Of China has undertake
en- to learn English In her old age as
another proof of this. English has
had some remarkable ups and downs
in Its own home. For 300 years ii was
uppressed-from the Norman con,
quest on to 1862, when 1t was intro.
duced as the language Of the law.
When the house of Hanover was In.
stalled 1t was anticipated that there
would be another suppression OF the
English tongue. The wife of George
lis eldest son could not speak Eng.

should be taught That is unneces.

Hanover having been above twenty

BRAINS SAID TO BE INHERITED.
Not Merely Their Quality but Their
Form Handed on From Parents.

FORM 6dnoco OF FROM FdfcnGs.
The inheritance Of bodily character.
istics, both by man and the lower an.
imals, is too well known to need com.
ment, says Golfers Weekly. In the
same way we are accustomed to think
of mental attributes as being more or
less hereditary. From a priori consid-
Grafton we have every reason 10
expect that the organ which Is the
physical basis of the mental facul-
ties, the brain, should show In its
structure the influence of heredity. II
has rarely happened, however, that
any comparative study of the brain
structures of near relatives has been
possible
A peculiarly fine opportunity for
such observations was afforded when
the brains of three brothers were Civ
en- to competent observer for exam
nation. The brains were those of
Willis, Burton and Fred Van Wormer,
all of whom were executed In New
York state All three brains showed
marked similarity in general form,
differing chiefly in the matter OF size.
Some unusual features were present
in all three; one characteristic in par
ticular, which is of great rarity, oc.
Cured in all three. These facts lend
much support to the idea that pc.
culiarities of brain structure are inner
tied as we'll as peculiarities OF face
and figure In the case Of these three

HoMElY MAIDS ALL RIGHT.
Extensively Employed to Fix uF
Rooms of Citv Bachelors.

One OF the most sensible things
about the lives of young bachelors OF
the present day remarked an old
bachelor. "is the way they employ
young women to look after their rooms
and to valet them.
When | was young man nc
bachelor would dream of employing o
woman under 80 to do his rooms for
him, and as most of these women
drank pretty hard, ii used to be diff
cult to get along with them.
Nowadays a bachelor thinks moth.
ing of having a servant in the twenties
to look after his rooms, and no one
ever talks about 1t, either. 1t may be
notice most of these servants are
homely as sin. Which reminds me OF
story.
"A young bachelor of my acquaint,
anee lived with his sister for some
years in an apartment where they had
an elderly married woman for a
laundress. The sister had to &c to
Europe for several months and the
brother elected to run the apartment
himself. He asked the laundress to
come in every morning, prepare his
breakfast, look after his clothes, and
clean up the place. When she said 1t
would be impossible he asked her to
send one of her daughters. The laun.
dress agreed to this
Now 1t happened she had two
daughters, one decidedly pretty, the
other decidedly homely. He found
himself wondering the first morning
after his sister left which one of the
girls would be sent When he went In
to breakfast the problem was solved
1t was the homely one.
Perhaps from this we may deduce,'
said the old bachelor. that In a home
ly maid servant may young bachelor
find refuge from gossip" Chicago
