object need not be a thing that is ag-

ness depends upon the fact that It ia

that composite photography offered &
valuable aid to the study of sociology
and heredity. He made some singular
experiments with this art, and few
weeks before his death he told Lady
Victoria Welby some really sensa.

For example, he said he had collected
photographs Il Queen Victoria, Prince
Albert and all their children, and
upon making composite of them he
was greatly surpside to find that it
gave the likeness of Princess Alice,

A Wrong Premise,

Now that Mr.. Harrington has asserted
the thing as a fact, the people of the state
would do we'll to consider carefully his
claim that the railroads are planning to
get men Of their own selection nominated
for railroad commissioner by both parties
this year and next.-Lincoln Journal.
Mr.. Harrington's mistake must be
his assumption to know the man the
railroads are interested in. The rail-
way commissioner whose term is
about to expire was appointed by Gov
ernor Shallenberger to fill vacancy,
and is candidate for reelection. II
the railroads got in their work at all
they must have done it with Governor
Shallenberger, who was then, as now,
counting their favor, and who went
good for his private SECRETARY as safe
and reliable. At any rate, the rail-
roads have had no special complaint
against the democratic member of the
commission and would have no reason
to be displeased with his renomi-
nation.
