great improvement on Angoll , wouldn't
It ? With Waleh as marshal and John

fine city government.
GENERAL OUANT oontlnuos to battle
bravely with death , and scorns to bo
ollghtly Improving. It is hoped that the
old hero , who exhibit ] the same fortitude
that ho did on the battlefield , will con
tinue to fight it on t'aat line if it tikoa all
nummor.
AUUANOEMENTH have boon made In
Now York and Chicago to announca the
death ot General Grant by tolling the
fire-bolls as soon aa the telegram convoy-
log'tho nowo of his death la received.
Such an arrangement ought to bo made
In this c'.ty.
THE "new revelation , " abandoning
' polygamy , which wan promised at the
Mormon conference , lisa failed to matorl
ollzj ao far , and the probability is that II
will fail to show It up altogether. The
Mormonloadora evidently fear that tin
abandonment of the doctrine of polyg
uiny will disintegrate thechurch.
IT Is our outdid opinion that cvoj
workicgman who Intends to east hia vote
ngiinst James E. Boyd has design ;
against his own Intercuts , although h (
m y not bo awara cf the fact. licrald
e IT la our candid opinion that over }
workingman who intends to cast his voti
for Boyd , uxcapting , perhaps , such , aa ar (
employed in tha packing house , have sole
their birthright , and donorve to lie forever
over disfranchised.

that a detachment of Fenians proposed ti
join the Mahdl , and now It is said tha
they intend to send reinforcements ti
Illol , the rebel , who is stirring up eucl
a lively row in 'the Northwest territory
Thla last scheme saems to be moro ecnal
bio and practical , as the scene of actioi
Is nearer lumo and easily accessible.

It may just bo possible that they are no

complUh such a result. In wiping ou
polygamy they will wipe thomsolvco on

THE claim has baen made that Jamc
E Boyd as mayor -would bo a democrat !
official. Mr. Boyd'a appointments durln
his previous term stand as a flat oontn
dlotlem of this absurd statement. On th
board of public works alone ho had Job

This plodga to trade votoa with ropnb

STA D BY YOUR COLORS.
When the republican party was In an-
promo control of the affairs of the nation
and all branches ot the public service
rroro manned by republicans it did not
lake much courage in a republican state
like Nebraska to flaunt the parly Haft and
shout lustily for its candidate * . There
WAS in fact a laudable incentive for re.
publicans to bo magnanimous , and in lo
cal aflalra to break over party lines whore
Incompetent or dishonest candidates
sought to foist themselves into Important
positions , or whore conventions had been
packed by party bosses In the Interest of
jobbers. At such times the pat.iot
could rise above the partitan
without endangering the supremacy ol
the party. This was hue four yoara
ago when James E. Boyd waa elected
mayor over Isaac 8. Haicall by over
1,000 majority. Times and circum
stances have changed. The republican
party has mot with disaster and llo
future existence la seriously Imperilled.
If there was a Umo when republicans
of Omaha should stand by their colors It
la now. It would bo both cowardly and
disgraceful for republicans to dtaort
their party at the Tory first election
after the democracy has captured the
white houso. The democratic party hat
sat an example Trhich republicans would
do well to emulate , For twenty-font
lung yoara they have stood shoulder te
shoulder In support of tholr party through
disaster , humiliation , and ' 'disappoint
ment. They have braved all the partisac
rancor and the odium that attached to r
party which waa hold responsible for dla
loyalty and rebellion. Why ahonld republicans
publicans falter In their duty In the vorj
hour when their party flags are at hall
mast , and when desertion moans abjec
sunojdoi ? What are the condition :
of the contest tc-morrovr ? Mr
James E , Boyd la no longer i
mera non-partisan business [ man
upon whom I the nomination has beoi
forced for the purpose of caving the citj
from financial wreck and jobbery. Hi
is now a democratic loader , whoso ambl
tion reaches up to the United State
senate. Hla candidacy is not forced npoi
him in'tho Interest of the public t waif an
and good government. It la a doop-lah
scheme by himself and Dr. miller fo
the purpose of controlling the politics o
Omaha and Douglas county. The to
called citlzarf movement is nothing nion
nor lese than a polliicil snara. A few B
& M. railroad republicans are trying ti
repay Mr. Boyd for hla ovc
prompt ness In calling ont th
troops for their benefit , am
Bomo other republicans , who have axe
which they want Mr. Boyd to sharpen 01
Grover Cleveland's grindstone , started
movement under false pretojsoB , and Mr
Boyd allowed himself to bo seduced Int
becoming a non-partisan candidate , wltl
the privilege of heading the straigh
democratic ticket.
What does Mr. Bojd want the mayor1
office for ? Surely not fer the honor c
the position , for ho has held it before
nor for the salary , aa that la no object t
a man worth half a million dollars. Mi
Boyd wanta to follow in the footsteps c
Grover Cleveland. Ho wants the offic
for a atepplng-atono for higher honor ;
and ho oxpocta republicans to boost hit
into power through the non-partlaa
dodge. In the matter of patronage th
mayor's office la moro important than the
of the governor of Nebraska. Ho oj
pointa the street commissioner , city attoi
noy , city engineer , the board of pnbli
works , the marshal and entire pc
llco force of ever thirty met
the chief and all the paid employes c
fire department , city physician , weigl
masters , pavement and sawer Inspccolri
and scores of other employes.
Now , does It become republican a t
put all this power and patronage Into tl
hands of the members of the nation ;
democratic committee , who la I
2 use It as a club with which to bral
their party. And what oxen
have republicans for bolting M
Mnrphy ? Ho haa bo en fairly and hone
ably nominated , represents no faction i
clique , la competent , and haa faithful
discharged the duties of the eflico for tl
laat year.
THE UITJZENS' APPEAL.
The appeal of the citizens' ' committ
l ( for Boyd and reform la a delusion and
snare on ita face. Great stress is la
Q
upon the fact that Guthrlo was convict
of brlbary , Chase was removed f
drunkenness and malfeasance in oflic
and throe councllruon wore Indicted '
the grand jury. Wherein thcao fa <
dlequallfy Mayor Mnrphy , and what i
suranco doea Boyd'a candidacy afford tl
there Trill bo an end to bribe-taking a :
dishonesty. . Haa Mr. Mtirpby been
any way smirched by Ohaso'n and Gal
rlo's deal with the gamblers , n
la there any ground for connecting h
with any Contractor's job ?
How doea Mr. Boyd'a admlnlstratl
compare with that cf Mr. Mnrpt
When Boyd w s mayor he rolled alrui
entirely npon Jack Jowott to run the c !
affairs. Jowott wjs literally acting ms >
while Boyd simply signed the warm
and pipra submitted by Jowott. K
Murphy glvoi close attention to t
duties of his office and devotes his e
tire time to the alftlrs of tbo city. J
does not doponr * . on Irresponsible tubs
tutes. /
When Poyd wai mayor 1
do nothlnf , nmsaal Angoll , a
lecloi from the gamblers and Iiout
of ill-fame fire dollars per month each
a fine , uft'vo when he favored some 1
making no collection.
Murphy's marital , Onmmlcgi , h
collected/ from the same chus to da
$27.50 per month eacb , every dollar
which has been paid Into the city tret
ury. I
Evury dollar duo the city on accou
ot llciuor licenses hai been collccte
and this was never done before. When
the press aud public demanded the re-
moral of Marshal Angel ) , why did not
Mr. Boyd comply with the demand ?
In the light of these facts It strikes ns
that the appeal ot the "Citizens' Com'
mlttoo" for Boyd and reform ia decidedly
rojreshlng.
REFORM WITH A VENGEANCE.
Mr. James E. 1'oyd bo&sU openly
that ho is bound to bo elected mayor
of Omaha at any cost. Wo are told he
will spend ten thousand dollars next
Tuesday to defeat Mr. Mnrphy. How
la this great sum to bo spent ? The
legitimate expenses of a candidate for
mayor cannot at the outside 'exceed five
hundred dollars. What la to bo dene
with the remaining $0,500 which Mr.
Boyd Intends to spend to raaio onro of
Murphy's defeat ? The avowed pnrpoao
of the citizens' movement la reform In
municipal affairs. Do the roipectable
business men of Omnha propoio to aid
the rofoim candldato for mayor in do-
bauobing votora with money and ll uori
la the price of reform and qood goTorn-
ment to bo an opening of the Uoodqatoa
of corruption at the ballot box ?
la this audacious attempt to buy an
election to the mayor'a office in the later-
oat of public morah and good fjovorn-
mont ? la it not of Itself the grossest In-
ault heaped upon Omaha ?
It la an inaolont assertion that voter
are to bo bought and sold like cattle.
And to what data of votara will th ! :
reform candidate ewe his election ? Tc
the debased , beastly rabble , who make
merchandise of their votoa. Ihh wtl :
bo reform with a veiigbanco.
THE FALL OF BAERIOS.
The vaulting ambition of Barrloa o'or
leaped itoolf , and ho has paid tha penult ]
with his life. Hia invasion of San Salvador
vader resulted In a battle r.galmi tbi
combined forces of Nicaragua and Cojti
Rici , and ho was killed and his or.-a
routed. It waa a doslolvo 'oattlo , am
put an end to hia plan of uniting thi
five Central American ropubllci nnde
one government. Upon hosting thenowi
of the disaster the legislative msenibly o
Guatemala immediately annulled the decree
croo promulgated by Barrloi , In which hi
proclaimed the union and declared hhaaal
the dictator of the five republics. W <
vontnro to say that the legislature wa
not very enthusiastic In ita lympnth ;
with his embltlons project. A month'
truce has been declared between Uuate
mala and the allied republics , and this 1
probably the last we shall hear of M
trouble. The five republics will romali
as they are now , each with an Independent
ent government. Had Bar.-loa not boei
killed , and had ho made progress in hi
invasion , the United Statca and Mosic
would undoubtedly have taken a hand ii
the affair and assisted the republics i
suppress him. His final overthrow wouli
have been merely a question of time.
Barrios was no ordinary man. Ho a
a half-Indianbut posecsslng a lofty ambi
tlon.ho loft the plantation upon which h
worked and went to the capital of Gnat
emala , where ho soon succeeded in ol
talnlng assistance which secured to Iilm
university education and enabled him t
become a lawyer. His ambition know n
bounda , and conceiving the Idea of be
coming the chief executive of the natlo
ho gathered around him a bodyofatannc
followers , and inaugurated a ro-olutior
which finally resulted In hla boln mad
president in 1872. Hla administrate
throughout was characterized by his er
terprlslng efforts in behalf of the intoi
osta of the common paoplo. Ho , eotal
lished schools , built railroads and telt
graps , and made many ether public in
provementa. Having risen from the hnn
blest walks of life to the presidency <
the republic of Guatemala by his own e
forta , and having maintained himself i
hla high position , and accomplished :
much good for Ills people , ho waa regard t
by them as a man of deatiny. It wi
claimed that hia scheme of confederate
was an honest effort in the interest of tl
five Central America republics. If , ir
atoad of proceeding in an arbitrary , ar
dictatorial manner to accomplish this o'
joct ho had submitted his plan to tl
legislatures of the different republics ai
employed shrewd politicians in his Intc
est his scheme might have been adopt )
by a vote of the republics , and he mlg !
have been elected president of the coi
federation. But Barrios bad not the p
tlonco and cunning diplomacy of a po
tlcian. Ho was a revolutionist , aud
' bold dash over the country to make tl
. republics eubmit by force waa moro In c
cordauce with hla deposition. Hla dea
it upon the battlefield waa a fit ending

THE STATE CENSUS.
in The wcrk of taking the Nebraska ata
census , which was provided for by i
st last legislature , will bo begun in Juno 1
Mr. Line , the superintendent , who
already making preparations for t !
undertaking. There will bo conalderel
trouble encountered in the work as i
the records of the national census anew
now at Washington. They Include ov
1,000 kinds of blanks which were fu
nlahedto the census takers , who usi
them for the purpoee of making inqulrl
of the census bureau. Theto blanks ,
they wore within easy reach , would be
considerable service to Suporlntcndei
Lane as they would furnish him with
great dpal of information in regard
the mode of procedure.
To take the census of Nebraska wi
provo a much more extensive task thi
it was five yeara ago , for the atato hi
very nearly donbled Ita populatlc
since then , and unfortunately the appr
prlaiion la very small. Mr. Lane wl
therefore have to govern himself acdorc
Ingly , nnd It may bn that ho will fin
some difficulty in doing the work aa com *
pletoly aa It ought to bo. To secure com
petent and faithful enumerators for every
precinct in the atato will bo quite a task.
In taking the census , the smaller
towns can bo readily canvassid , but when
it cornea to the larger towns and cities
the wcrk will b * found somewhat difficult.
One trouble will bo In sifting ont the
transient population , and another will bo
in fixing the boundaries between the
cities and the surrounding country. It
la very important that thla contms should
ba reliable , because it will bo the basis
upon which the legislative and judicial
dial . . 'lets will ba re-apportioned , so as to
make them moro nearly equal in popula
tion.
Or the many metropolitan papers re

ROUNDABOUT GOSSIP.
- -Senator .Tonee , of Nevada , who opei
laat Sunday in Omaha , paid a very hip
compliment to the Paxton hotel. "I ha\
not aeon a hotel during the lait two yon
anywhere in this country , with perhaps tl
exception of tbo very largest citien , that he
BO much the appcivranco of bueiucm about it
said he , "as thla haa. This is particular'
true of the dining room , This is really 01
of the very beat appointed hotels that I ha'
ever Been. " The senator took a drive abai
the city , nnd expressed his surprise at i
wonderful growth during the last throoyoai
He predicted that Omolia is going to ba 01
of the biggest cities in the west.
Senator Jones' expects to strike a ne
bonanza this year. lie ia about to send
120 stamp mill to Alaska , which he believ
is very rich in miccrals. Ho remarked th
it has tbo finest marble in the world , Italli
artists of San l"ranci'co having pronounced
far superior to that of Italy. There is an I
exhaustible supply of it , nnd it am bo lo
down in San FnmcUco for almost nolhin
IIo was qulto enthusiastic ever the resourc
of AJtukfl , and expressed the opinion that t
people did not as yet appreciate the value
that territory , While talking abe
marble Senator Jones incidentally r
)0 marked that Prof. Fontez , of Omal ;
owned a valuable quarry of variegated mart
in Iduho , but that it would bo valueless
long as the railroads continued to charge BU
exorbitant transportation rates. If the pi
fctsor should attempt to mardot any of it t
railroads would a'certain what it was worth

cbuifjo for I In trnniportatlon a ralotlmt wou

Talking about politic * , Senator Jon
expressed bis belief that the republican par1
wculd show more vitality four years hen
than It did during the last campaign. Wbi
the factional dltputes die out and there arei
more controversies over patronage tha pan
will muster more strength and make the be

The first time General Grant vliltcd
Omaha was in 1SC8. being accompanied by
General Sheridan , IIo had been nominated
for the presidency , and upon his arrival hero
i WAS driven to the republican
adqu.ttters on Douglas ttrcct , op-
oslto the Academy of Music ,
ho general was escorted to an elevated plat-
irm , nnd was introduced to the vast assonv
! y by Governor Saunders. General Grant
ore a linen duster and n straw hat , which
o did not tnko cff as the sun was shining ,
ol. Chase noticing thld distinguished himself
ly shoutingout , "General , takeoff your hat. "
'ho ' crowd cheered , and the general graceful-
complied with the request and raada n pete -
to bow , Leaving Omaha , he went west on
uslncta ever the Union Pacific , which was
hen not quite completed. On his return
hortly aftorwardc , lion , John I , Rodlck , who
ad been n delegate to the national couven-
on that had nominated him for the prcsldcn-
went out to Fremont to mod him , In
ho depot dining hall , Mr. Hedick took a seat
do tbo general , and started n
onversatlon for the purpose of drawing him
ut on the political situation , but , as Mr ,
ledlck tells the story , about the only thing
e could get out of the general was a very la1
onic speech. It was : "I like that gravy. '
Ir. Rcdick , by the way , was always an nr
ont admirer of General Grant. When Grani
as defeated for a third term for the prcai
tncy , Mr. lledick flopped ever to the dem-
scracy.

The next time that General Gran
laascd through Omaha it was at night. Hi
ad bccomo president of the United States
nd Col , Chase had become mayor of Omaha
'ol. ' Clmso was determined to BOO Prcaidon
Grant and extend to him the freedom am
inspitatity of the city , and at the earno tlmi
iroscnt him with a brace of ducks for hi
iroakfast. Of coureo the colonel expected ti
deliver the ducks in person and deliver ;
poech , but when ho reached the eleepinc ; ci
.0 was admitted only to llio presence of thi

, ho ducks and returned thanks in behalf o

jawed the colonel out of the door. The col
inel returned to his home with his speech tin
delivered ,

On his return from his trip around th
world in the fall of 1ST ! ) , General Grant re
el'-ed a grand ovation in Omaha , an oven
; hat will always bo remembered with ploaaur
by the people of this city. The general wa
hifhly gratified with his reception , and s
expressed himself.

When the Grant procession was pasi
ng up 1'arnam street , n n'oice fight batwee :
two bull-doga occurred fit the Eleventh atree
crossing , nnd Col , Chase , who was riding i :
mo of the carriage ; , yelled out to some ono i
, ho crowd : "Won't you please stop that do
fight ? " Col. Will Biowne. who was an intei
cited spectator , ahoutcd back to him : "Cole
nel , lot 'em fight it out on thai line if it take
all summer. The general likes to eoa a goo
dog fight as well as any ono. "

In spanking of Gen. Grant's earl ,
military life it may not bo out of place t
mention that nt the opening of the civil wa
one of our townsmen , Gen. 1'rederick , whil

Gtrant the day after ho waa appointed colonc
of the Twenty-first Illinois infantry by Go\
Dick Yates , and wasinuted to dine with hir
his camp opposite Quincy. The soldiei
of Col. Frederick's regiment , the Ninth Mil
souri infantry , while stationed at Quincy wor
altogether too " fresh and liberal ,
and Grant took occasion to giv
him some good advice and instructions aa t
the important matter of discipline. Thi
action on the part of Grant was , of coursi
appreciated by Col. Frederick , whs has nevi
forgotten it , as it at once spurred him on I

of discipline.

Col. ISnono , of New York , who is tt
