AJJONO the candidates for the Colon eonatcrihip , the present inoutnbo Senator Hill , stands hnad and should ' above all his rivals so far as brains a 1 ability are concerned. It Is true that is a very wealthy man , but ho acquii his wealth by legitimate buain ' ' mothodi , and-not by accident as I other bonanzt candidates did. Hill ao educated ran , and hia Bucsesa in I accumulation of a fortune was duo to flciontlfio attainment * . His career in I jouato hai reflected credit upon hlrna and hla constituent * , and Colorado T be doing herself on icjustloo if she di not return hint to bli a sit in the Unil THE LEGISLATURE. One week from to-day the Nebraska legislature will assemble. There will bo no senatorial contest to harass nnd dis tract the members and take up the time of the session or any thing olao to divert the attention of the legislature. It cnn proceed nt onca with its duty of law making which , however , should bo done with duo deliberation nnd a proper regard for the interests of the tax-pay- erg , But the legislature in order teat Intelligently must iniform iteolf con cerning the condition of the state in every ono of the dopartmontn calling for appropriations. A largo majority of the men who arc oloctud to .tho Icgishturo caruo froah into the field of law making. They know absolutely nothing or very llttlo nboul the income and the outlay of the state , and the ncoda of the various state Inntltu tions. They know a good donl low , S that ooald po.islbly bo , about the lawi already on the statute books , and thcj nro entirely ignorant as to what law ought to bo amended or repealed. Upot all those innttora members of the logitln turo should thoroughly post thomEolve in advance if they wish to occompllsl results satisfactory to the people , who at opposed to hasty and ill-considered logic Iftllon. While these who have served in th legislature are , for the most part , alroad informed regarding the crooked scheme and methods of the lobby and the tempi f ations that are invariably thrown in th way of members who vote the people1 money away in ordnr to play into th hands of jobbers and spoils-hunters , tti majority are entirely Ignorant upon th ! matter , and go to the capital unproparc to deal with the lobby , and hence the become an easy prey to the sharks. At the very outset mnch will depcn upon the organization of the two housci ff the corporations and jobbers captureIh committees , through the treachery an connivance of the presiding officers , tb battle for good laws and wholesome goi eminent is virtually lost. The commi toes have an all-important function 1 perform , which , Icgitlinitoly oxcrcisec rcatricts needless legislation and dcfin : , what ia considered to bo advantageoi and beneficial to the people. But whc the committees are packed with men wi wear brass collars and rings in the noses , or , worse yet , with mon who go I the legislature for the oolo purpose i 3 making a grub-atako , all the moritorioi r bills are pigeon-holed , and all the jol are carried through. A majority of tt 0 0 house , judging from appearances , wi endeavor to do what is right , but tl senate ia liable to bo the stumblingblocl owing to its peculiar make-up. Sevei teen members of the oonato control thi body , and so far as wo are able to judj the railroads and Boss Stout contr seventeen senators. Our judgmon however , may be ut fault in regard i this , and tre may bo agreeably disaj pointed. Wo hope so at least , but tl chancoa are that the senate will bo tl grave-yard of all good and decent legl latlon. i- THE SHARON DIVORCE CASE. Whether the decree In the Hi ! Sharon divorce case la in strict accoi with law and evidence does not matt ' ' so much so long as it la generally co : ° aldered to bo just about what old Shan deserved on general principles. The was no doubt that Sharon and the wet man Hill for mouths sustained the rol tions to each other of husband and wif and that Sharon paid the woman's boa : bills and frequently introduced her his wife. At the trial ho claimed th the woman was his mistreat1 , but Jttd Sullivan could hardly believe that Shan would have introduced the woman aa I wlfo at the wedding ceremony of 1 daughter unless she actually waa 1 ot wlfo. It did not seem natural for ov > lo the most libertine depraved to prcae to hia mhtroaa as his wife on such an oct oy slon. However , the public and frcque presentation of the plaintiff na his wii ns no doubt led the judge to decide tt beef Miss Hill was actually the wife of Share of although had been no ceremony perfori od , and that therefore she was ontltl to a divorce and consequently to n aht cd in Sharon's millions. Of course Shar to will fight the case to the bitter end In t or hope of yet defeating the claims of t ea plaintiff , but no matter how depraved t co woman may bo it is to bo hoped that t decree will stand , ai it may have if healthy effect upon old reprobates II .to Sharon who think that their money v ns protect thorn in leading a notoriously 1 of moral life. ch TUB law concerning the electoral turns requires that there shall bo th sots of returns ono to ba deposited w ha the nearest United States district jud | xt the second to be sent to the president the senate by mail , and a third to bo i an .at llvered by messenger , who is appoint , bv the doctoral college. These rotni must bo delivered to the president of I senate by the Grst Wednesday in Jam ry. If the messenger fails to deliver i vote intrusted to him by the time p : scribed , tbo law further provides tha do heavy penalty shall be imposed up him. Thcso certificates of the vote ol rs atato are duplicates , and the law also p id vldes that if the vote of any state has i tie boon received by the first Wednesday ed January , then the secretary of state ah ! BS aond a special messenger to the dlstr lie judge of the delinquent state , where , v Is dor the law , the Crat sot must bo depot bo cl , and procure that which must bo d lis livered to the president forthwith. Thi lie are the main provisions of the law. T messengers from the different states ha 111 about eleven dayi before the limitation es reached. Messengers have not yet T. 3d la an appcuAica with tie rctaroa California , Fl ) rida , low * , Kansas , E braska , Nevada , Oregon , South Carolina , Texas and Wisconsin , All the states ex cept Iowa and Oregon have cent their mail returns. Dn. 'MiLi.p.u sometimes assumes too mnch. In traveling under the auumod name of "Dr. M. L. George , " of Now York , ho has made a mistake , for every * body throughout the breadth and length of thia country knows him by sight. This is duo to the fact that some ycara rgo his picture nppoarod in the Now York Graphic , nnd it has never been Aced from the public mind , Dr. Mil ler upon being Identified in n Chicago hotel , explained that ho had registered under an assumed name because ho did not want to got Into the newspapers , at such publicity would cnuso the Omah : people to conclude that ho waa eastward bound on a political mission. Ho mlghl have added that ho didn't want J. Stcrl ing Motion to know it , tor fear that tin diatlnRUishcd statesman of Arbor Lodgi might attempt to roach Albany first However , before Dr. George got out o Chicago the nowapapora had him otaud ing on hla head and writing explanatory cards In ordur to regain his propar attl tudo nnd his usual mental equilibrium. Of all public buildings a theatre ougb to bo fireproof , yet it acorns that theatre nro the most frequently dostioycd by fire Four theatres have been burned in Noi York City alone within a period of llttl moro than two years. In other cities als n number of thoatrna have bcondcatroyc within the same period. Fortuuatel the fires have occurred at an hour who no performance was in progress , othoi wlw hundreds of lives would have boo sacrificed. The theatres that are advoi Used as lire proof aoem to burn aa road ly as those thnt are not claimed to b fire-proof. The trpublo Is that the mt jority of theatres are nothing but mor tinder boxes , and a reform should bo Ir auguratod In their construction. The should bo made absolutely fire-proof , an laws should bo patsod to that effect , C course wo would have fewer theatres , bt wo would not have so many Ores. THE government has begun n suit i California againnt a star-ronto mail coi tractor to recover 971,000 paid to hii for Bervlccff not performed on ono of tl expedited routes. If the governraoi can recover all the money that it hi thus been swindled out of , the surplus 1 the treasury would probably bo increase several million dollars. It is nnderatoo that the California caao is only the fin of a aeries of suita for the recovery i of euch money , but if the expenses ai to bo as much in prosecuting them i they wore in the otar-routo trials , tl government had bettor abandon tl whole busincat. COLORADO will probably witness one i the most exciting and prolonged of tl senatorial contests of this winter. Tl fight between the Hill and Routt f actioi ia very bitter , and it will bo fortunate it does not result In permanent injury I the organization In that state. The sei atorlal candidates are all very woaltt men , and that they will spend a gre ; deal of money there seems to bo no doub A man mth less than half a million L a very poor show of being elected to tl United Saatos sunato from that state. | | \ViiY cannot Omaha secure the ne : Nebraska soldiers' ' reunion ? It ia opi to bids , and it eooms to us that thia cl could afford to make a good offer , will draw fully as many people from : parts of Nebraska aa the atato fair , ni wo baliovo that the people of the ata wfetild bo moro pleased with Omaha the location of the next reunion thi with any other place. LITERARY NOTES. "On a Margin , " issued by Fore Howard & Hulbort , Now York , and f s&la in Omaha by J. S Ciulliold , is strictly American novel , explaining t mode by which ono monstrous windmi a colossal operator in railroads , euccee in making all winds blow to grind 1 own particular grist while ho engulfs i others in a maelstrom of coufiictli storms which swallows thorn up romore lesaly. Details are minutely outer into for the purpose of rendering the vast achemca plausible , which the unltlr od in stock gambling will find it very d ficnlt to understand , but which may pi haps bo enticing reading exports in t business. Wo seem to aoo In this gia operator the prototype of Jay Goul magnified many times by the Ions identity , and follow his came of manir. latlng the financial world with aome an feeling as ono might experience in watc oo ing the oncoming of certain and torril tb destruction. Behind this man an aged millionaire , a sort o , Timons o Athena , who , trom n of bio and disinterested patriotism o- metamorphosed into a Machiavel by wl oid he regards as the stupid enactment congreas that has destroyed the Indnat as through which ha obtained hia wealth. ] tie originates schemes to plunder hit count a- and rob his fellow man , while the oil abe executes them. Machiavel'a chief mai Is a belief that national legislators i e- bought and sold like cattle nt a fair . a thoao Interested in getting bills tbrou > n congreas for personal apgrandizemei a and therefore the principal object of 1 IB to buy them up hlmeolf , obtain th 0' signatures as evidence of their fall , ai ot then as a crowning triumph , expose thi lu to the world. Ho accomplishes evci til thin ? according to his wishbut is broug tilot t ) a violent death before the final cc ota summation of his plan. A change com ait - over the heart of the giant operator at t it- frightful death of hla friend which itE knows was contrived for him ; ho burl Ese hlmaolf In obscurity , gives away to chi se ity all of his ill-gotten wealth but a lu 10 lion , and the reader , like the world , sc re him no more. Strangely enough , ono ia two love atorles are fixed up in tl at whirl of financial speculation , ono cm tnatiuR In the elopement of the wife ot the giant. There are several women the plot but none of thorn are mode Wo are not astonished nt the nbsonco of exemplary characters In the novel ; they could hardly bo evolved from anrh n dis position as the author Dhows himiolf pos sessed of through the medium of his book. However , the Jlack'of thoroughly agreeable characters la not a serious fault nor Is it Iho most coiuplclons ono of the work. .Tho volume has the double merit of being well written and Intonating. 'Tho Handbook ot Blunders , " by Har. Ian B , B&llard , Is dcaigncd to prevent ono thousand blunders In writing nnd speaking , nnd will prove a very useful little volume. The author enya ho has simply given in thia a list of such inolo- gnnclos nud inaccuracies in speech ns dally jar on our oars. Ho la n'teachor by profession , nnd no wonder that years ot asociaton ! with the slangy , careless spoken youth of our land should have driven him to arms Against what ho terms inologanciss of speech. Among thoao numerous inolcgaucios nud inaccuracies of speech , to which all of us must plead moro or loas'guilty , the author also groups "darkey" as used for negro , "kid" for child , "cad" for cadet , and "cahoot" for associate , terms which ourely no llvo per son of the present day could fail to rcc- ognizo aa the commouoal street slang , or think of inlng without a consciousness oi the fact that ho was violating every law of language and good taste. But al though wo could not fnll to liotico thcec and n few other nimllar cxproaalons , which seemed n little too broad to fine place in such a work , wo do recognize the little volume na a valn.iblu rouilndoi and aid to correct aponking n thing which wo , of nil civilized nations on the oartb , scorn moat prone to neglect.

CommorclitUAdvertiser. group of capitalists who have ft monopoly of the anthracite co.il lands ate leaguing together to niako their monopoly ely n means' of additionally oppressing every man who needs n firu to keep his chilarcn warm , or is in any fray connected - od with an industry In which steam or electrical power is usd. Now lot us see what thcso men nroposo to do. They own all the mines and all the coal carrying railroads , They are wealthy most ot them farf beyond any real human need. If permitted to regu * late itself by natural laws of trndo their business wouldcontinuo to enrich thorn by paying n fair profit on the cost of mining and carrying coal But they nro not content with that , They ha\o put their heads together and formed a scheme to extract still larger profits from the needs of the public. They propose to resist prcdnctlou by conspiracy , and tc say to these who burn coal : ' 'You shall pay us an additional , unjust and un natural tax , or your wires and children shall shlvnr In the cold. Your labor too shall bo taxed so far aa its nocd of mv chinory enables us to impose burdoni upon it. The owners of the shops ir which you work shall pay moro for 009 than it ia worth , oven if they have to tak ( the dIOoronco out of you'r'wagos , \oui dinners shall cost moro to cook than thoj do now , In order that wo , who are rick already , may bacorao richer without labor. " And this ia not all. Thor'o are tons ol thousands of mon in the coal regions whoso livelihood is drawn from the worli of mining and carrying coal nnd nearly all the rest of the people of that rcgior znln their living Indirectly from thai source. The monopolists who own thi coal have deliberately made up thoii minds to deprive all these people of thoii full moasnro cf work and pay by puttini artificial restrictions upon production In order that a small group of rich met may derive unjust profits from , thoii mines and railroads many thousands o poor mon , win at best can barely koo ] their families in scanty comfort , must bi made still poorer. 8 y what wo may as to the right ol every man to do what ho will with hi own , there is a distinct limit to the raora right of man to monopolize a natural pr6 duct of general necessity , to create at artificial scarcity in ono of the necossaric of lifo. Legitimate trade is sumothlnj other than this. That serves men' needs , benefiting both buyer and seller this robs the buyer in order that thi seller may got moro than his share. Again vru direct atttontlon to the fnc that such combinations to interfere witl trade present in an aggravated form al the evils and all the injustice that ar complained of when striking vrorkmoi uno violence and intimidation to onforci their demands. In the latter case th strong arm of the law rightly Interfere to prevent the wrongdoing. Why shouli it not do the same when monooolio mine-owners , instead of impovcrlshot minors , nro the conspirators and wrong doers ?
