It is proper at this time to call Ken oral attention to Lincoln as a summer resort. This city Is the place to come to, If you want to enjoy yourself in the heated season. Tiik llKATiuoe ft.rjiiv.Hx published a picture of Liberty, (luge county, which moved Kohs Hammond's Fremont Tri llium to remark: "If that Is Liberty, Klvo uh death." Wkpnksiiay'.s kais .at Hasting brought down a multitude of llshes. And it has rained money all over tho state within the past week or so. least that's what tho farmers who watching tho corn crop say. At are J. II. Inman, formerly editor and pro prietor of the Custer Couiity Lender has purchased the Kearney .oiinin,and in a few days time ho has succeeded in making a very interesting and highly creditable newspaper out of that pub lication. The unanimity with which the demo cratio pressof tho country refrains from extolling the administration of President Cleveland is only equalled by tho frigid enthusiasm with which tho republican newspapers of this state support Governor Lorenzo Crouuse. It isn't much of a Nebraska town now-adays that hasn't a canal project on hand or on foot as the caso may be. In this city It might be a good Idea to build a canal from tho lllgelow hotel, Fourteenth and P streets to tho brown stono conservatory of muslo at Thir teenth and L streets. On tub wholo great religious assem blies do not conduce to general respect for the cause of religion. There Is too much bickering and Intolerance. The public, somehow, expects tho example of church leaders and members to cor respond to their precepts, and unfor tuuntoly there is generally a wide di vergence hotweon tho two. A wail has gone up from Chicago. The world's fair Is losing money, and to save the exhibition, tho management outs off tho newspaper men's passes. Perhaps this was tho one thing wanting to put tho big show on Its feet. It. Is possible, however, that tho people who aro running the fair might with oipial prollt bestow somo attention on tho railroad companies and induce them to make a one faro rate to Chicago. Neiuu8KA Day at,tho World's Fairl What a timo thoro 'will bo with Air. Garneau's monumental pile of stupid ity as the contor of attraction! Air. Garueau and Air. Alobloy will bo on exhibition during tho day and Gov ernor Crounso and Air. Hitchcock will danco a highland iling on tho roof of our glorious state building. Specimens of tho Garueau brand of crackers will be uandod out to tho crowd and tho band will play "Listen to mv Tub. of Woe." Till: (ii:m:iiw. assembly of the I'res byterian limtcli, by an iciwhclnilng vote, lias decided thnl Or Chin les A. Iliiggs Is a heietic. It has often Imp pencil thai Ihogtealost lioiotics of imo gollorntinn hliNe become the lenders of oithodoy of the next, and It Is possl bin that the exclusion of Dr. Iliiggs may result in such steps being Inken as will make llllll one oT the lenders of a it'Tormcd I'rcsh.vlerlnuism that will quickly come to be regarded as oil ho dox What Is a lieiotlc anyway? Accord lug to the Century dictionary a heretic is one who holds nml persistently main talus an opinion or doctrine at variance Willi the accepted standards of any school or nily, and i ejected or con detuned by it; one who rejects a gen erally accepted belief. Luther was a heietic and nearly all the great reform ers weie llrst branded with heresy. Dr. Iliiggs is undoubtedly guilty of the charge under a strict construction of Iheteim; but his suspension from the ministry, nevertheless, can do no good to I'resbyteiianlsin or to the cause of religion, ami it willdoiibtless prejudice many people. The cliurches are otleii accused of Intolerance, ami too often there is justice in the accusal lou. Con sorwitlso Presbyterians will maintain that thocliiircli could not consistently do otherwise than convict Dr. Iliiggs of lieiesy and suspend him from (lie tuln Istry. I'erhaps if the denominational standards by which the professor was tiled were thoiusolw's secure and sup potted by members- of the church everywhete this might lie true; but t In- very standards that wore made the measure of Dr. Itrlggs otthodo.xy are in jeopardy; In fact they maybe said to be under II. same charge as that In ought against Dr. Ilriggs. Ilelorc expelling Iroui the church able and devout men who refuse to accept the dogmasof tho rigid I'lesbyteriau creed, which In truth ate secretly rejected by thousands of reverent churchmen, it might have been well to have waited and seen what was done with these iron clad standards of faitli which weio elected in the sixteenth century, and belore which nineteenth century en lightenment and intelligence aieasked to bow in humility. Under thociroum stances tho current proceedings in (lie Presbyterian church uncut t lie revision of the creed, aro In reality a trial of the jury that tried Dr. Iliiggs. It is a fact that If every Presbyterian who refuses to accept every theory and proposition of the harsh and colorless Calvinism which is represented in tho Westminster confession of faith were excluded from tho church Dr. Hriggs would llud himself In a goodly com pany, perhaps numerically stronger than the blue stocking disciples of or thodoxy remaining loyal to the creed. Dr. Uriggs represents tho liberal tendency in tho Presbyterian denomi nation, and It Ih unfortunate that the general assembly should have dollbor atoly set Itself in direct opposition to this powerful element of the church. There Is no question but that Dr. Iliiggs Is just as good a Christian and as exemplary a private citizen as Dr. Pattou or any of his accusers. Ho merely Insists iu using his own Intelli gence lu reading the Scripture, and refuses to accept the dogmatism of centuries agono as unalterable stand ards of everlasting faith. Tin: Fremont Tribune takes a very proper view of the Mosher case. That paper believes that Alosher should be dealt with lu a manner which will ade quately punish him for the crimes ho has committed. "It would bo a finan cial relief to tho poor people who have lost their money through Alosher's skulduggery to have a compromise with him whereby they could gut back some of their money," saysthe 7'n7iiiiic, "but such a compromise would have a demoralizing etfect, far reaching and destructive In Its tendencies. Individ ually considered, tho deplorable con dition yf Alosher's victims furnishes a strong motive for permitting him to repay them and go free, but such ac tlou would be an object lesson of great corrupting Influences. It would beget contempt for courts and the adminis t rat Ion of justice among those who are not concerned iu this case, that would feed the tlames of anarchy and social unrest, Hosldos it would be an incen tive to other men In positions of trust to violate It and entail further misery upon other coutlding victims as much entitled to consideration as those who have sutrored on Moshor's account, and so the evil ejects would extend Indefi nitely." This Is true, every word of It. It should bo possible, under the cir cumstances, to punish Alosher as he deserves and reimburse the depositors, too. There is no question but that the bank wrecker lias plenty of money to make good tho depositors' claims. Tin: (nil is making a splendid tight against tho vicious resorts iu that part of t lie city known as the bottoms. We are glad to see our contemporary man ifestlng so much zeal, but at tho risk of again Incurring Its dreadful dis pleasure, we onvo more ask, What would you do with those places? You aro not waging a warfare of extermina tion, nultho only result of tho policy you advocate would bo to drive these infamous dives from tho worst part of tho city and scatter them through tho bu x iuoss and residence portions whero (hey would do lulliiitely more harm Why not inaugurate a campaign to w ipe out t he evil altogel her? Arn.icrios ns borne In heavily upon the ramlly of II. T. Clarke iu the last year. Mrs Clarke, the center of a lovliigclrcle.was llrst takenaway. Thou W. H.Clarke, of tills city, was stricken with typhoid fever, and lie was brought very near to death. Later another son, Charles, passed through an almost filial illness, and on Thursday, after a second attack, lie yielded up Ills life at the very thicshhohl of a career full of promise. Charles II. Clarke, while but yet a youth had won manhood's distinction, and the future for him was bright with hope. Ileloved by u family already visited with sorrow his death will be hard to bear, and the sympathy of fi lends everywhere will go out to the alllictcd ones. .It m: is a fateful month. Then il is that, young men and yotingwotncnwith the stamp and seal of fashion join themselves in matrimony, and then it is that the schools and colleges have their "coinnieiiceinent " exorcises, and young men start to cudgel out success with the aid of a diploma and coull donee. Perhaps, after a while, they may find that they had an exaggerated idea of the value of their sheepskin, iu that It did not prove to beau infalll bio open sesame to the door of com menial and professional success; hut none of them will over have occasion lo regret tho lime anil oll'ort spent in obtaining tho embossed certificate. 'I'm: decidedly fa vol able Impression made by the university cadets at Ne braska City is another tribute to Lieu tenant Pershing, whose eH'orts to build up the battalion have been so splen didly rewarded. OhtiorvntlotiH. There are some things which oven a "reform" legislature does not reform, audits long as there aro legislatutes a certain manipulating of wires will go on in carry out a man s individual gain llrst, and that done, if ho can servo his constituents without any iticnuvcni elicit to himself, he will. His personal gains must bo looked after first, and this lie does by agreeing with other members to support their measures If they will support his. lu this way many bills are advanced and their pas sage secured with but little opposition. However, these statesmen aro not al ways far-seeing, and once iu a while a measure vigorously uphold does not reap them the benellt looked for, and when It Is too late they see that they have cast a vote upon t lie wrong side of mo question, rsucn was douiit less f lie conclusion reached by a member of the legislature, who worked for the passage of what Is known In Lincoln as "The Street Hallway Hill." The electric car passed a business block of his, which tact he appreciated enough to work for tho bill; lint very soon alter tho mens tire became a law, the street car com pany removed the service ofcarsfiom that street to another, and the owner of the property wonders now why he voteii lor uie nircoi liaiiway Hill, and thinks it should not have become a law, In fact a conclusion that came too tail'. The attendance at entertainments by local talent, of late has not been great, which indicates that these en tertainments come too often to be well received. At a time when only a few good theatrical attractions and 'operas canto to Lincoln lu t lie course of a year, local talent was more appreciated 'than within the last two seasons, when the people of Lincoln really feel that the professional attractions have been very good, and which they, of course, prefer. Due thing iu favor of professional en tertainments is that the participants aro not oll'eriug tickets for sale at every corner, and whore there Is no lo cal talent announced, one may safely venture out without being stopped by some friend selling tickets, or If no't tiitkrtl to buy, feel that he must, as he has somo friend, neighbor, or relative taking part lu tho all'alr. The cause Is always a good one, but the attempt to ralso money by amateurs Is largely overdone in Lincoln. What poet overwrote on "Tho Heau tlful Spring" who had ever taken any active part in spring house cleaning, or was over within calling distance when it was going on? What man has ever lived who could beat carpets, move I limit tiro, take down stoves and have any si utimeut left for a Spring poem? It is a tact that women do not write poems ou Spring," anyway, not ' i.i tint if ut Spriiur." Woman's lucon itsteuoy, though great, does not go -o far. Such sentiments must be left to men, and men whoso minds have never been brought iu contact with house cleaning experiences; men w hose consciences are jot unsullied by the sweating, incident yes, essential even to an observation of the work of house cleaning; men whose sentiment has not been uprooted from their hearts by the home meal on house cleaning days', and men of narrow experiences.
