AN ABSURD BTOUY.
It la currently reported from Washington
that every nffcht by 12 o'clok Mr. James Q
UUmo is apprised of what has been done
during the day In every department of the
government. This Information is Imparted
to him by republican oflico holders who are
retained In office. While profaning non-par-
tlsabtsm in order to retain their place , these
fellows nro acting M epics upon nn adminis
tration to which they are at heart bitterly
opposed. The sooner the official ax is ftp
plied to their beads the better for the admin
istralion , which should bo In the hands of its
fiiends , These republican epics at Wathieg <
ton frequently boast that they nro "quarter
ing on the enemy , " nnd gleefully Jingle the
dollars they receive from the treasury in pay
ment of their salaries , declaring that they ore
pulling the wool over the eyes of n demo-
cratio administration that was chosen in order
that tkoro might bo a radical clmnao in de
partment ? that wcro known to bo corrupt
under republican rule. Cleveland 1'laln-
doaler.
Aside from the malice displayed , there
never was a more absurd c.irmtd eot
afloat than the above. Even If true ,
what earthly use would Mr. Blalno have
lor any information such aa is referred
to ? Wo Imagine that Mr. Blnluo Id not
losing any sloop over what is going on In
the departmcnla. So far as the republi
can "cflko-holdcro are concerned , I he
char go that they are acting aa splca le
maliciously faleo. That they ( should wiab
to remain In oflico as long ns possible ID
but natural , but how they nro "quarter ,
ing on the enomy" la somithlug wo can
not quits understand. Wo sro not awnrc
that there Is nn enemy In this countrj
juit at present. There was a time , however
over , when the national capital was fnl
of epleo in the Intcrcbt of an enemy
Those spies wcro democrats , and th <
enemy nan the confederacy of rebels. 1
leTtrno that the republican office-holder ,
'gleefully ] lnglo the dollars they recelvi
from the treasury In payment o
their ealarlea , " but they can
three salaries , and the dollars
lars do not como from th
pockets of the democrats alone , but fron
the people. The democrats will EOOI
have the full benefit of the dollars in th
treasury , thanks to an honest ropnblicai
administration of the treasury depart
mcnt. When the republicans came int
" "
powor"twonty"-four years ago they foun
the treasury empty , every dollar bavin
been Btolon by democrats. It will haidl
do for democrats to talk about corruplio
under republican rule. So far but cou
paratlvoly little corruption or dishonest
has baon unearthed. If the domocratl
party remains in power a quarter ot
century it will Indeed bo fortunate If ;
the end of that period it on show t
clean a record as that of the republican !
A WORTHY EXAMPLE.
Congras&man Pnlitzar. of the nint
New York district , has taken a vei
commendable course in regard to the a ]
polntment of a cadet to the West Poll
military academy. Ho has conclude
not only to select the candidate by
public competitive examination , but I
limit the competitors to fatherless boy
now and for a year past actual redden
in his district , and who have receive
their education in the free schools of No

asQ WHENEVER a burglary or a hlghw
robbery Is committed the police force i
en
with inefficient
tie straightway charged
In This Is in a measure unjust , for It atari
jpt to reason that burglars and highwaym
an aook their own time , place and oppi
tnnlty for the oimmlealon of th
ido
crimes. If Omaha had a police forae
mo 200 men , no matter how compote ;
m. crimes would atlll bo committed ,
3ry is impossible to station a policeman
front of o fory business house and prlvi
residence , and in every unfrequenl
place In the city. In the matter
crime , Omaha Is no worse than any otl
m- largo city. Bouses are burglarized a
St. men -are knocked down and robbed
len frequently In other cities aa they are
; ho Omaha. IFor eeveral months this c
whaa boon very little disturbed
lat the criminal clias , but recently crli
cot has broken out to a somewhat alarm !
or extent. Thla la due to the fi
; re that the criminal class has late
> ot been reinforced from otter cities. Tl
all la nothing atcznge , aa criminals mo
ith from place to place. While It is tr
'or that the police force of this city
ho inefficient iu many respectsit cortaii :
Is ought to bo able to rid the.city of tl
nt crooks first , by notifying tho\a to lea
11- within a certain time , and aococd by t
m resting them If they remain here. Th
/ , can very easily be rounded up. I { tl
it police cannot do this much , the oitize :
Id mil have to do U for them. Oi
r. of the trouble * with the poll
to fotco is that h is largely made t
to of tuen who ara not oompeten
'o I Before ire Increase the number of pollc
: o men , tha present force should bo the
10 ougbly r&o.rganlzed , Wo need bottt
10 men before 0117 Increase h made. Ever
d new policeman abonld ba employed fee
o probation , and If found deficient b
nhould bo promptly fgmoved , Futihoi
tnoro civil sorvlco reform should bo In
troduced Into the organisation of our
police forco. The pay should bo graded
according to the tlmo of service , nnd a
competent policeman should hold hla
position during good behavior.
TUB city council has very properly
taken steps to confer with the board of
cducatlondn regard to the erection of a
city hall building. The boftrd of oduca
tlon la now located In a private building
and is obliged of course to pay rent for
its quarters which nro at best not ns com
modious , convenient and safe as they
would bo in a substantial fire-proof pub
lic structure. It would bo eminently
proper for the board to join the council
la the erection of the proposed city hall
so as to bo able to designate what portion
of the building it desires to occupy.
This can bo done much better when the
plans are being drawn than after the
completion of the building. The city
hall will probably coat in the neighbor
hood of $200,000 by the time It Is com
pleted , nnl It rrould bo nothing out of
the way for the board of education to
pay at least one-eighth of the entire coat ,
cr about $25,000. It la obvious that this
city building should ba constructed nitli
a view of accommodating not onlj
the cliy offices but the board of education
and public library. All of thcco office :
and departments are aattorred about the
city and occupy rooms in buildings thai
are not by any means fire-proof. Th <
rantal now paid will more than cover tin
Interest on the coat of a city hall.

Gen , Sherman's Economics.
Washington Correspondence New Yor
World.
I heard of a peculiarity of Gen. Shot
man the otbor day which should bo note
by those who are to write bis fuluro his
tory. The general Is very fond of goo
whisky. When ho was on the active 11 ;
every morning before ho started out fc
the war department bo used to stop atth
bar just obovo Willard's hotel for a mori
ing drink. In Washington a ulnglo drln
of whisky is fifteen cent : . Two drink
are given for a quarter. Van Vile' '
whou ho was quartermaster general , use
to start out with Sherman at the earn
tlmo so that they could take their tnori
Ing drink together. They lived ne-j
door ta each other , and through this az
rongeincnt of starting out togethi
they were nblo to BJVO tw
cents and a half upon cacti of the
morning drinks. Snerman would pn
one day nnd Van VHot another. Thci
wai always a dhpnto between thorn M i
who should pay , each Insisting that 1 ;
bad paid upon the day previous. Oaca
sionslly Sherman would como in alom
having missed Van Vliet. Then a funn
little comedy would always onsuo. Tt
general of the army of the Unite
.States , after having tossed oil four e
fiva fingrr. , would begin to fomblo i
his waistcoat ; then ho would say ; '
have changed my waistcoat this mori
ing. I have no change. " Ho would ne :
say : "Onalk It dawn nnd I will psy yc
to-morrow morning. " The next day r
would como ia for his morning dric
and then put down a quatti
in satisfaction for the two drink
tbo owner of the bar eald ho w
never able to got whlaky a" a low onouj
wholesale rate to got hia money back oi
of Sherman. Up near the war dopar
uient was another restaurant , This wi
a military resort , chleily patronized t
officers of the army and the officials i
the war doptrtment. General Sherman
lunch hero was a big drink of etralgl
whisky , no would como over about 1
o clock and call for hla special bottle. E
weuld pour out a stiff drink , and the
would lay down ten cents and walk ou
He was the only patron of the restaurat
who got his drink for this price. Ti
generol cf the army naed to bo just i
economical in hla smoking. He woul

more than $2.50 a hundred.
Old Time Railroaders.
Indlanapolla Journal ,
The mentioning of the fast tlmo mac
over the Bee Line nnder the prealdenc
of John Uroufih recalls numerous inc
dents to old time railroaders , On or
ocoaiion he called hU master meoband
into hi ) office and abruptly said : "I wl
glvo you a week to put two engines ,
calling them by name , "in thape to hai
those trains through on time after thi
date. If they do not do it , I shall d |
mand your resignation. " Another tlni
ho had conceived the iJoa that ono <
the engineers was timid ; he called hli
into his oflice and said , "John , if yo
want tj stay on this load yon must brln
that train in on time hereafter , " Th
engineer spoke of the condition of th
track ai bolng unsafe for so high apeoc
President Though , with an oath , sale
"Bring yoor train in on time or yon dltc
her. " At one time the Little Miami ru
in connection with the Boo line , betwee
I Columbus tnd Cincinnati , the foraic
wrote Mr , Brough that the passenger
t wore complaining of the high spee4 o
which no rnn his trains , thinking it nn
safo. Ho answered that his fittest trains
hod the fewest accidents , nnd backed hi-
statements by showing the number os
accidents that had happened to slow
trains aa compared with the fast trains ,
I'AUTING 01 < VTJ1K WAYS.
Democratic Vendors Mnko 'n IMnln
to tlio 1'rcsidont.
The Washington correspondent of the
Now York Sun says : The conference of
democratic loaders gathered hero from a
nninbor cf states for the last week have
had in view the vatal necessity of placing
the administration on a line of policy
which cannot bo bettor described than by
saying that it Is the same as has boon
steadily advocated by the Snn. The
president has been kindly and plainly
told that on no other can hla administra
tion hope fur success , and that by trolng
ahead on a line displeasing to the rcpro-
nontativos of the democratic sentiment of
the country , ho will speedily como to the
parting of the ways.
In those conferences such domocr.vtlo
leaders ni Randal ) , Barnurn , Smallry ,
Bock , Voorhoos , Pay no and others have
taken a prominent part. Mr. Ilaudall'a
rt coory so f r aa to able lo bo nctlvo was
the signal for a comparison of views , The
administration , they hold , must bo
democratic or mugwump. If it is to bo
democratic it roust take more distinctly
the line indicated by Secretary Manning's
action ratluir than that of tbo president's.
It is ono tlilup to have democrat ] ap
pointed to clll.o , but another to have
elomocrats appointed in accordance with
the wishes of these democrats
to whom the party , If it
Is to prosper , must look to fight
its battles in the future. If there is to
bo no mistake about the grounds of pres
ent expectations , the luttor idea Is to prevail -
vail , and the mugwumps will have to be
content with what they have got or will
got hereafter only by common consent ,
It can bo distinctly asserted that by the
leaders of the party who are actlvo ID
their efforts to place the administration
nn the line of safety , the wisdom of the
Sun's views and counsels ia fully rccog.
nlzed. On that line alone ecu auccot ;
bo expected. A short time will show
how well founded nro these expectations
