THE country will be relieved to
learn that the illness of Mr. Elaine
is not so serious as reported by
the dispatches. The chronic dis
position to exaggerate the ailments
of this illustrious American is
certainly not uncomplimentary.
It reveals at least the measure of
popular concern of which' he is
the center. "With his retirement
from politics Mr. Elaine has not
suffered any diminution of his his
toric stature. His seclusion has
rather increased the popular af
fection with which he is regarded.
The hope that his life may be
spared for many years to come is
sincere and general. A useful
and inviting field opens up before
him in the line of literary work
which the public has a selfish de
sire to see him cultivate.
POLITICAL excitement in "Wyom
ing is not yet over , but the indi
cations are that the republicans
will defeat the deliberately planned
attempt to steal the legislature
from them and with it a United
States senator. The latest information
mation is that the republicans
will have six. majority in the
senate , and as the opposition can
count only one majority in the
lower house , Wyoming will con
tinue to be represented in the
United States senate , after March
4 : next , by two republicans. It
has rarely happened that a more
desperate effort to steal a legisla
ture was made than that planned
by the democrats and populists of
Wyoming , and its defeat is to be
welcomed as in the interest of fair
politics. The republicans of the
state are to be congratulated upon
having made a courageous and
honorable fight for their rights.
Bee.
IT is by no means impossible
that in his struggle with the spoils
politicians of his party Mr. Cleve
land will be compelled distinctly
to choose between the favor of the
party machines , bosses , and pat-
t. ronage mongers and the retention
with the democracy of those patri
otic and enlightened elements
which recently joined it and gave
it its present strength. We trust
that in such an emergency Mr.
Cleveland's decision will be prompt
and uncompromising. His first
administration has given him some
valuable experiences. He will not
forget that his second and last ad
ministration will submit his pub
lic career to the judgment of history -
tory without appeal , and that it
will depend upon his firmness in
the right whether or not that
judgment will place him among
the greatest in line of American
presidents.
WELL , the earth is still on deck.
The sun and the moon and this
fair planet of ours will continue to
do business at the old stand. The
discussion of the Baconian theory
will go on ; there will be a senator
to elect in Kansas ; Congressman-
elect Blair will introduce a new
educational bill in the next con
gress ; Colonel Elliott F. Shepard
will keep up the irrepressible con
flict about Sunday opening ;
"Budy" Kipling will renew his
warfare upon the social barbari
ties of America ; John Sullivan
will lag superfluous on the stage ;
Ward McAllister and J. Suffren
Taylor will shortly burst upon the
public view rehabilitated for the
winter campaign in Gotham and
Bider Haggard and Amelie Bives
will continue to write books. There
is something appalling in the
thought of the wreck of the planets
and the crash of the worlds , but
there are awful and solemn respon
sibilities attaching to life and the
eternity of matter.
AN important meeting of Ne
braska financiers is to be held in

Nebraska state bankers' associa
tion will hold its annual conven
tion. The call which has just
been issued specifies that all banks
and bankers and trust companies
doing business in Nebraska are
entitled to send delegates to this
meeting. Journal.

A SPLENDID triumph for human-
itand Christianity has teen
scored at Atlanta , although , as
will be seen in the incident ,
Christianity broke unmercifully
before it reached the homestretch.
A woman from New Orleans ,
backed by local philanthropists ,
endeavored to establish a home for
unfortunate women. A house op
posite the Baptist church was
secured and the home opened ,
whereupon the entire Baptist con
gregation , headed by Mr. John
"Wesley save the mark protest
ed and tried to have the place
closed by ( courts. Other resources
failing a womanof the streets was
hired to go to the matron of the
home and apply for admission.
The woman broke down in the
presence of the kindly Matron and
divulged her errand. The entire
town of Atlanta has been aroused
at the injustice and a five acre
tract has been purchased by phil
anthropic citizens where a hand
some home is being erected.
ALABAMA objects to Pinkertons
and her legislature has a bill be
fore it prohibiting their use. A
bill to insure honest elections in
that state is also badly needed
just now.

STOP this talk about pensions
and consider the immense amount
of the people's land given to the
great corporations since the war.
Until the justly forfeited land
grants are restored to the people ,
eastern plutocrats should remain
silent concerning large pension
appropriations.
PBOFESSOBS of wisdom in
American colleges are fain to con
fess that their education , so far as
it refers to comets , has been sadly
neglected.
THE democrats will have a clear
majority in both houses of the
next congress.
