This country is now shipping carpets to England in large quantities, in fact we sre selling more to that country than its manufacturers are selling hero. The carpets are well finished, handsome, of the latest styles and sold at prices which please the people. The Omaha Trade Journal “has it from pretty good authority that there will be at least three more beet sugar factories established in Nebraska this year. This Is *e natural home of ths sugar beet, nun si»t>ir manufacture into sugar is to be a great industry in the future. The time is to come when American beet sugar will be a rival of the German product in the su 4 gar co Burning countries of the world. And all this without compelling the Amorican people to pay a bounty for its production! It appears that the sugar indust’y has not then been killed by the repeal ot the unjust McKinley bounty

Senator Turpie could have done nothing which would please his constituency better than when ho made uls speech in the senate on the resolution to elect senators by the direct voice of the people. Among other things speaking on this resolution, he eaid; “ When we rec 11 the harsh criminations, the gross charges of pecuniary oonuption and of fraudulent combination of intrigue, disgraceful and dishonorable to the whole body, with which a prolonged Senatorial conte»t is accompanied, whether in party conference or in the open assembly, the removal of such a procreant evil should be deemed a prime political necessity. It has therefore been said that the Grand Central railway has. chosen n Senator in a certain state; that the Graud Central Bank has chosen another elsewhere, and that the Central Association of Mining and Manufactures has defeated or elected a third. Nothing is intended to be assumed here concerning the truth or falsity of these assertion* or accusations. jßut these malfeasance ohaiges have an exists ce. The way of this riddance is plain: If the choice of the constituent members o this body w#s left ,o the mass of voters ip the State these perilous criminations would be infinitely lessened. They would altogether disappear. No rea onable grounds could be given for their support."

Taxing Greenbacks. Correspondent in Indianapolis News. Township Assessor (under the old way) —How much money on hand April 1? Person Beln; Assessed—My money is all in greenbacks, and they are not taxable. See? Under the new way. Assessor—How much money on hand April Ist? Person Being Assessed- My money is yet all in greenbacks, see? Assessor—No; I don'i see. Assessor (rising to bis feet)- My fellow countryman, and toyou tax-dodgers: For years and for years you people have been favored with a law placed upon our statute books exempting greenbacks from taxation. Why thia should have been done I am not aware. The greenback dollar has always gone for 100 cents on the dollar when you wantod to pay a debt, but yet it was not taxable, You. no doubt, lavi appreciated this, and now wonder why I arise and address you thus. Mr. Tax Dodger, greenbacks are uow taxable. Have time, and discontinue your old practices of goingjtc the count/treasurer's office and asking the treasurer to save for you the greenbacks taken in that day for taxes, that you may luild up yonr pile. Also going to the banks ana asking the same favor that yeu may convert your entire means into greenbacks in order to escape a just taxation. The person being addressed now raises his eyes and asks. “Is there no eseape, and who is responoible for this changed state of affairs?"

The Assessor continuing: ‘My Dear Sir —ln the Fifth Congressional district in the great State of Indiana, there lives a man by th • name of George W Cooper who has had the honor of representing his district in the Lower House of Congress for more than one term, and by and throughhis efforts he caused abill to pass both branches of Congress that secured the signature of the President, which made it a law, making greenbacks taxable. I am proud to say that the people of Indiana appreciated Mr. Cooper for his more than did his people of his own district By the enactment of this law thousands of dollars will be added to the taxable property of every county In Indiana (Bartholomew county not excepted), that has heietof ore gone untaxed. A * imilar bill was introduced and passed both t ranches of our State Legislature at the present session, and received the Governor’! sigurture Saturday, February 23d, 1895, and now the poor man with a humble cottage and a small lot of household goods, who has had to bear the burden of taxation, can rise up and say to Mr. Cooper, “May the Lord bless you." Equal taxation is not unjust taxation.

The meanest man on record is said to live in Centre county, Pennsylvania. He sold his son-in-law a one-half interest in a cow, and then refused to divide the milk; m intaining that he sold only the front half. Tl e buyer was also required to provide the feed the cow consumed, and was compelled to carry water to her three times a day Recently the cow hooked the old man, and he is suing the son-in-law for damages.—Oil City Blizzard. Omaha means "up the river."
