THB SATURDAY lOKIVIIVO OOXJKtlR v I 1 Continued from First Page.) boforo u word ifl heard. of ovldonco or argument Commissioner General Qnrneuu having Bold tho NobruBknbuildingntthoworld'H fulr for $75, and disponed of tho f urnl turo, ia now receiving sealed bids for Both P. Moblcy, who would nuiko a good paperweight. After Btiitablo disposition hnB boon niudo of Mobloy, Mr. Uarncait will rnflle himself off, Auditor Mooro having expressed a willingness to buy all tho chances. Mr. Mooro Ib making a collection of BUgar and other beats, principally other, and ho wants Qarneau to add to It. Thousand dollar checks will bo very popular for Christmas giftB this your with tho pcoplo who receive them. Tho only thing that induced Mayor Weir to suspend Chief of Police Cooper and Ofllcor Pound was his desire to show his authority, and this is one of tho worst featureBof tho mayor's unfor- tunato mental infirmity. Confirmed lunatics often imagine they aro popes or kings. Just what Mayor Woir thinks ho is, wo do not know; but theio is no doubt that ho has the most exidted idea of his own importance. Chiefs of police to him aro mere jack straws. Mr. Cooper has lived on ice bo long that ho has becomo very cool, and when tho mayor addressed the insulting letter to him, ho did not llaro up, but pitying His Honor's weakness, considerately re pressed his fcclingB. DcBidcH he knew flthut he would bore-instated just as soon as tho mayor had satisfied himself that ho had made a proper showing of his powor. Nobody will contend that ofliccra of tho luw should bo permitted to leave tho city at will; but tho chief of polico is certainly moro than a lackey, and in caso of great emergency ho should bo allowed to uso his discrcction. In fact, as matters now stand, it would be u great deal hotter it tho chief of police had moro authority over tho polico forco and tho mayor less. Thcro aro pcoplo who would liko to know why tho erratic individual known as Mayor Weir, interfered with tho duo process of law, and remitted tho lines of a number of citizens Who wcro recently arrested in tho disroputablo resorts of tho city, and allowed them to go freo upon tho payment of costs. Tho more wo Beo of Mayor Weir's reform tho moro unique it appears. Tho mayor did not make any attempt to wipo out tho moral rottenness known politely as tho social evil, until driven to his duty, and now ho reaches nut and protects those whom tho law would punish. A queer kind of reform. Louis Norburg, of Omaha, who at tempted to corrupt a juror in Judge Dufllio's court, by ofToring him 8100 to influonco tho jury in his favor in a caso pending before- it, was tho other day fined 81 and sentenced to ono day's im prisonment in tho county jail. Tho press dispatch bub: ' The jury when thoy rotumed tho verdict of guilty, recommended tho prisoner to tho morcy of tho court." Tho idea of a jury-fixer being entitled to mercy is in keeping with tho peculiar ideas that seem to prevail in court circles in Omaha, Lincoln and olsowhoro in tho st'ito and tho utterly absurd Bontenco of a fine of 81 and an imprisonment of ono day, is about what might have been ox " pocted. Judges, juries and lawyors have apparently como to look upon tho jury fixer as a regular feature of tho machinery of tho court. In Omaha and in this city ho plies his trudo in tho most open and baro faced manner. Tho only surprising fact in tho caso of Norborg is that tho juror who was offorcd the 8100 was willing to givo in formation against tho tempter. In this county most of tho honest citizens who servo on juries would stick to a man who olTored them 8100 closer than a brother. They wouldn't givo him awtfy. Tho law imposes a heavy ponolty for , jury fixing, and tho offender should got all thut tho luw can givo him, Tho jury-fixer in Lancaster county, who is often a respected citizon. lias besmirched tho ermino of justice, and mudo a trial by jury in many cases, a hollow mockery. In legal proceedings whoro certain interests aro involved or ccrtuin attorneys aro employed, right and justice und law and precedent aro of about as much weight ub a thimble ful! of smoke. Tho judge Bits on tho bench in solomn dignity, tho lawyers ' expound tho law from heavy tomes, and tho jurors blink liko bo many owls, and tho wholo procetding is a stupendous farco. For tho jury-fixer has already gotten in his work. A littlo money bus changed hands, and tho caso is decided Could tho secretB of tho courts ot this county be unfolded tho foulnws that would como reeking forth would turn tho stomachs of honest people, and a trial by jury would bo Been to bo a most wicked travesty of justice. It will bo a great day In this county whon retribution overtakes tho jury fixer, and right and not money becomes tho weight in tho scales of justice. Mayor Weir is as fond of assorting "my authority" as Is President Ciovo land. It 1b reported, some say on tho authority of tho Hon. Jim M alone, that the mayor will shortly Ibbuu a pronuu ciamento to tho ciTcct that after a given dato no person will bo allowed to leave tho city without first procuring a written permit signed by himself as mayor. It is only a question of time, when tho in tolorablo old troglodlto, who Imagines as ho sits in his littlo coop on O street, that ho is a Person of Immense Conse quonco will require citizens to take out licenses to breathe. Thcro have been many attempts to oriranizo and maintain a livo board of trado, or commercial or real eBtato ox change in this city; but dry rot lias always sot in before anything of real im portance was accomplished. In Omaha tho Qommcrcial club, with which John Utt, formerly of Lincoln, is associated, is a useful organization that Is very much alive. It is rendering valuablo service in advancing the interests of t'm town and Its success Invites inspection and emulation. It would not bo a bad idea for soino of Lincoln's progressive citizens to investigate tho Omaha Com mercial club and its workings. It was a Lincoln lady who told her husband that she never wished to see him coming out of a saloon. It is the samo lady's husband who invariably stays in tho saloon until tho streets aro deserted, or quietly makes his oxit through tho buck door. Dr. Putton, president of Princeton college, snya there is "moral activity" in tho game of foot ball. Dr. Putton 1b a bluo Presbyterian, und a great scholar, and if ho says thero is moral activity in foot bull, it is not for us to say that ho is mistaken; but wo could not discern any in tho recent games played in this city. However, wo will admit there is somo difTorcnco between tho vuriety of foot bull exploited at Princeton and tho kind to which tho stnto university has introduced us. When gonial Managor Church, of tho Lansing theatro did you over notice thut theatrical managers aro always "gonial" in the samo manner thut brides aro always beautiful? went to Now York recently, ho immediately mudo tho acquaintance of tho latest motroiiolituii equivalent for tho expression, "a corker," viz, "crackorjack." To hear Ed spring this now word from Gotham's prolific mint, is ono of tho plcusuntcst things in tho world. "Cruckorjuck" is a good word, und Mr. Church in adding it to tho locul vocabulary has performed a Borvico for which a grutoful community will doubtless rise up and call him blessed. For tho benefit of thoso persons who eagerly siozo upon such phrases us "jar your system," "sink your bobber," etc., wo h'ivo u verso of ono of tho songs now being sung in the vaudeville theatres in Now York: If j on want a bob or two, (!o nml nsk your undo, IIii'b tho clnip to Kivo it )ou, Or an) ono w ho calls ; If jou want u iiuid or two, Stick jour tlckor up tlio II no Go anil ask jour undo with Tho three brims bulls. "Stick your ticker up tho Hue" Is tho wuy tho English suy "put your wutcli up tho Bpout." been charged with overacting, with ranting ami exploding in tragic wrath or triumph, when repression would bo moro elTectlve. This criticism must still stand against him." Tho following Is from tho llcratdt "Last evening ho acted liichclicu, ono of his best roles, to a somewhat larger patronugo. This actor is a Kpullst In art, bo far as his own work Is concerned, though in these later jours ho makes very elaborate and handsome produc tions of his pla)B. His treatment of scones in "Hlchurd HI." indicate more than ordinary cure In tho purtKiso to secure historical accuracy, and the general effect of the mise en scene, In cluding the architectural plan and the costumes worn, is truly flue and ad mirable. Mr. KeonoJiuB attempted to make his pictures imposing by tho us'o of pretty well disciplined numbers, so that the Impression would bo to a high degree satisfactory hud it not been Mr, Kceno's pleasure to emphasize the in equalities of his own work by the frailties of his company." "Several competent poisons have boon with him for many years, and thero is promise In tho work of some of tho younger members; but tho blast of art that comes from the roar and clamor of offended lungs is upon tho company.. It really is dreadful to sit in tho presence of so much unseemly noise, and witness tho painful elibrtH of ouch successive speaker to pump out sound moro furiously than tho ono who went before. This Ib the further objectionable for tho reason that ,tho fault is ono among the most easily corrected. There aro occasions when trumpet-touged utter unco is both appropriate and inspiring; but tho recurieuco of tho loud-voiced declamation is altogether too frequent In tho practice of Mr. Keeuo and his fellows. As an actor especially fash ioned and controlled for the dolight of tho gallery Mr. Keeuo is an unqualified success." "If his purpose be to please tho re fined und interest tho cultured his methods are erroneous in the extreme. Ho has amended some of the defects thut marred his performance in earlier times, but has not been at pains to avoid falling into other faults equally inadmirable, so thut it is difficult to judgo of his work by tho comparative plan. It is vexatious to tho critic to find In a man of such intensity, forco, suppleness, and fine dramatic energy bo groat a lack of mental subtlety and intellectual precision. Considering'the years during which Mr. Keeuo has been acting the part of liichurtl uh tho chief feature of his repertoire, ono thinks tliatfhis actor should he will-nigli a perfect exponent and Impersonator of the character, and resents tho absurdi ties und extravagances thut disfigure und in some instances make contemp tible his performance." "The mind looso und unioasouing enough to declaim the following wret ched line with emphasis on tho italicized words: 'Crowns got by blood must with blood be maintained' is beyond tho cure that critical remon strance might effect. A great deal that Mr. Keeno does is worthy of warm praiflo and sincere commendation; but when tho note of admiration swells in ono's mind some unpardonable, irrational violence on the actor's part shatters it into irritating discords. Miss Vaders is a very intelligent actress in everything oxcept tho uso of her volco. That sho uses as a bludgeon to murder silence." and Lucku- Mil! -EfflliE : MllOll BANK. L I. M. IIAVMONI).

Keeno huving becomo an issuo in this city it cun hardly be said thut thut actor's reputation has been enhanced. It is needless to suy that tho Chicago critics uro not .alone in their view of Keone. His reception is tho samo in every lurgo city. If Thomas W. Keeno is as sensitive us some peoplo would have us believe, he will never visit Chicago again. For tho benefit of thoso persons in this city who think Keone is wearing tho mantlo of liooth, somo opinions of tho Chicago dramatic critics were cited in a letter in tho Journal on Monday. In addition to these tho Netvs of that city recently said: "Ho plays it with all tho unction of tho old school: ho exaggerutes tho swinging strido of tho royal cripple, tho calcium lights follow him across tho Btago and at all times ho utrivcB for broad and melodramutic effects. Theso things might not bo bo nppurout if Mr. Kee.no und his company did not como so closo upon tho heels of the depurting Loudon Lyceum compuny, bo that com parison is inevitable. The comparison is not fuvorablo to Mr. Keone, and yqt it is just to say thut he is improving in his urt und is attempting more than over boforo to givo Bceniu value to his pre Bontations und make tho stugo pictures true und consistent.
