There is a general hope that the republican caucus will be held and the senatorial fight disposed of be fore the 15th of January, the time tor the joint session, in order that ncccBBary legislation may not be re tarded, So far as the state in general is concerned, there is no great demand for legislation at the hands of the coming session. The need of anew revenue law is recognized, but the difliculty of passing one is also rec ognized. Attempts along this line in the two last sessions failed.

Under their strenuous repieseuta tions many of the state-house dcpir ties received larger salaries than had eycr before been paid. The in coming republicans will reap tin benefit of this example, but n doubt they will be criticised by Hit fusionists for desiring to keep tin salaries at their present figure.

A long-haired attorney- general who has maintained a pri vate office in Omaha and allowed the state to shift for itself except dur ing political campaigns, may de clare himself indispcnsible in tliu settlement of these campaign, law suits. The new attorney-general, however, may decide that an cx-olli-cial who uses hair, oil externally, and an ex-deputy who uses it inter nally will be of little assistance in these suits. -The pretended contest against Dietrich to prevent him from taking hi Beat has fizzled out. The tun ionists knew that the case was a hopeless one, and besides the dis appearance of certain of their cam paign funds has giyen them trou bles of their own. There is a well grounded suspicion that high mogt'ls of the fusion crowd used up the funds to bet on the election. Now, while they accuse each other, the legitimate expeiir.es remain un paid. It is believed that this inter nal quarrel has only just I'cgun and that beforu the colony leaven for Oklahoma there may be some startling developments. Under the circumstances the reform leaders will go pretty slow about i heir con test, and will sing low the nong'of the use and abuse of campaign hinds.

I When he finds a mail in every way qualified for a place he announces the appointment. So far no criti cism has been heard. At least two ol the places given out by common ousent. John Mallalieu as the head of the Kearney school was an unqualified success in the years gone by, and tne desperate attempt of the Mutz sniffling commit tee to blacken his character three years ago was a dismal failure. It was conceded that Mallalieu was the proper man for the old place. Dr. Green, of University Place, for the head ot the Lincoln asylum was another expert whose qualifications and claims were generally conceded. In regard to the other appoint ments so tar made qualifications seem to have been the best indorse ment. Adam Gkanokk. Hpoiitiiuooiift CoiuImikIIoii ii f liny.
