On Hand Shaking.

In this country an adverse feeling
has set in against the ordinary hand
shake. 1t has come to mean nothing
to many people, who care less for cere-
mony than for sincerity. When two
men meet in the prize ring prepared
to maui each other into insensibility
they shake hands. So do two friends
who meet after a long separation.
Then when these two gladiators have
ended their combat and one lies help
less on the floor the conqueror walks
over and CALAMITY extends his right
hand, whereupOn they shake. AS Mr..
Jeffries observed to Mr.. Johnson, who
proposed this truce of war, II shake.
I'm whipped, but by a dog"
Under such circumstances the hand
shake comes to be an empty fashion.
Too many men do not think otherwise
when they practice it, and it is these
who bring the custom into disrepute.
It is urged that you cannot squeeze
real cordiality or felicitation into a
man; you cannot do II by breaking
the bones in his right hand. The fell
low with the clammy, fish-tail hand is
no more exasperating than the one
who tries 10 show you by a single grip
how powerful he is or how much he
loves you.
But the handshake is more than a
form OF greeting; It is the involuntary
tattler Of a mans character. The fell

To crush your powers Is not to rule them.

Those Halls of Fame

Edgar Allen Poe and other notables
long dead have been enrolled at last in
the Hall of Fame. thanks to the dis
eliminating votes of a handful OF crit
les Patrick Henry and a few others
are still denied admission to this sane
tuary of the great, this gallery Of IL
lustriOus Americans.
There Is more humor In this hall OF
fame disposition than those serious
ones who determine its occupancy
would like to admit. AS If It made
any difference in the minds OF the
people OF the world who are voted
famous enough TO be added TO this

long ago agreed that OF American
authors Poe was entitled to this dis
tinction; therefore they will be graft

AUTUMN STORM.

Madison Cawein in New York Sun.
Topping the hills the oaks,
Black on the sunsets fire,
Draw with terrific strokes
Gates, as IL were, of Tyre
Burningi while, like q page
Out of some tragedy,
Heaven grows dark with rage,
Pregnant with things to be.
Out of the north the wind
GnllopS with all his hordes,
Hunlike, and gaunt and blind,
Sweeping the earth with swords,
Night on her tower of cloud
Let's her wild beacon flare;
Then through the darkness loud
Arrows rain everywhere.
Wrapped in their mantle wide,
Cloaks of the mist that stream,
Onward the hours ride,
Forward, with never a CLEAN;
On through the forest, on
over wild hill and plain,
All the long night till dawn
Trample the troops of rain.

low who just lays his fingers in your
palm to do with them as you see fit
and makes no motion toward hand
shaking, has told you his whole nature
right there and It is little more Diff
cult to get a glimpse into the fiery,
impetuous heart Of him who goes to
the other extreme when he grips you
like a vice
Hand-shaking when practiced in a
sensible, dignifed manner is a. pretty
symbol but when it is made the
means of so many kinds of hypocrisy
it is a question IL It could not be
dropped entirely without working any

The Statute Of Limitations.

The statute Of limitations is some
thing like an immunity bath. Il is the
screen behind which the dishonest
debtor hides in order to avoid being
compelled TO pay up. The statute Of
limitations makes it impossible for a
creditor to enforce collection by legal
p .oeess after the expiration Of a speci-
fled period. But there is no statute Of
limitations covering moral obligations.
A debt Of honor follows the debtor to
the grave and many a debt Of honor
has been scrupulously paid by those
of the second and third generations,
although not legally burdened by their
ancestors debts. Honorable men have
been known to slave for years and to
submit to all kinds Of personal de-
privation to pay off a debt of honor
long after the statute Of limitations
had run.
Yet we have in this campaign here
in Nebraska the amazing spectacle of
candidate for United States senator
on the democratic ticket publicly ad-
hitting having incurred a debt of
honor by borrowing stolen public
money from an embezzling republican
state treasurer. and later refusing to
discharge the debt and taking refuge
behind the statute of limitations which
had run out while his benefactor was
in the penitentiary. Congressman
Hitchcock admits that when BARLEY
came to his rescue he and his news
paper were on the verge of bank
ruptcy and were saved from financial
ruin by the states money thus ad-
vanced, but that he nonetheless let
BARLEY go to prison with the debt un-
paid and the debt unpaid to this day.
There is still another side to this
monstrous case. BARLEY says the
money loaned to Hitchcock was state
money and that Hitchcock knew OF
ought to have known all the time that
Hitchcock knew this in the first place
he could not help knowing that It was
state funds that he had when the de
falcation was uncovered. II Hitchcock
did not want to pay this money back
to BARLEY, there was nothing to pre-.
vent him from paying 1t back into the
state treasury, and there is nothing
now to prevent him from putting II
back where it belongs.
Against the state no one can plead
the statute of limitations as a lega
defense, much less as a moral exoner.
alton, because the statute of limita.
tions does not run against the state
The state can collect debts owed to II
at any time the debtor can be forced
to pay. Suppose BARLEY. had handed
over to Hitchcock United States bond.
for $4,000 belonging to the state
school fund and Hitchcock had con.
| cealed his possession of them all these
years. Hitchcock might plead the
statute of limitations against BARLEY
but he could not set It up against the
state demanding the return of the
stolen bonds. What difference is Their,
between Hitchcock's borrowing from
BARLEY $4,000 of stolen state money
and the supposed case of him getting
hold of bonds belonging to the stat,
school fund through the same agency

All agree that the best heritage left
by the late Senator Dolliver is the
force of his own personal example in
making his way from a poor, penniless
lad to a position of eminence and
power in the nation. Ours is still a
country Of unbounded opportunity and
the door is still open wide to the am
bilious boy who is willing to work and
run the race dauntlessly over roagh
roads as we'll as smooth.

Golfers Weekly prints a map of the
country showing the various states in
white, black or shadow to indicate
which are insurgent, which are stand
pat and which are democratic, and
labels Nebraska as "stand-pat" and
New York as 'insurgent." II the
platform promulgated by Nebraska
republicans is any more stand-pat than
that promulgated by New York repub-
licans we would like Golfers to point
out what makes it so. If the repub-
lican platform and candidates in New
York are any more insurgent than the
republican platform and candidates in
Nebraska we would like Golfers to
point out the difference. We insist
that 80 far as Nebraska lie concerned
and as we regard New York also
neither is "stand-pat" and neither is
'Insurgent," but both are progress

Omaha and this congressional dis
trict has been for nearly four years
represented in Washington by a con-
gresham unable to do anything but
join in the talk-fest and draw his sal
airy. Whenever Omaha wanted any
thing attended to it had to call on
Senators Burkett and Brown or send
a committee Of outsiders who could
bring pressure to bear at the right
spot. The success of the democratic
candidate for congress in the coming
election would mean a continuance of
this undesirable situation. The cleo
ton Of Judge Sutton, the republican
candidate, would give Omaha and the
district an energetic worker at Wash
ington in harmony with the admins
tration and on the job all the time.
