CHICAOO , Juno 24. ( Special to THE BEE , ]
Well may the staid Father Knickerbocker
nud lho rest of mankind conlomplale with
breathless nslonlshmont the daring ambition
of the world's fair city. As If it were not
enough to bring the cotlssoum from Homo ,
the national congress from Washington , and
from the .southern waters the very spot in
which Columbus first sot his adventurous
fool , it is now proposed , as n sort of prelude
to lho main event , to furnish both lho great
parlies with presidential candidates for lho
entertainment In 1S93. One Is from
Chicago proper and the other Irom her
suburb , thu state of Illinois.
During the recent nicotine of the republi
can stuto central committee the fact devel
oped that an organized effort is to bo made
throughout the state in the interest of Son-
ntor Cullom's presidential boom , The chair
man ot the committee , that veteran cam
paigner nnd astute politician , Mr. "Long"
Jones , Is credited with entering Into lho pro
ject heart mid son ) , nnd ho has with him
some of the most iulluontl.il men in lho
parly , Whllo there is no doubt that tbo
Blalno Idea has n very strong hold ,
particularly among the younger element
In Illinois polities , thu older bonus
assort that this feeling for the Plumed
Knight is largely .sentimental. Said a mem
ber of tlio committee : "Blaine Is lho Idol of
nil republicans nud lho greatest statesman
IH the country , but we cannot use him as a
presidential candidate. The .sentiment in his
favor , though strong , is not of a character to
win n victory with and our worship of him
must always bo of n secret character. "
The state republican league , on the other
hand , U understood to be favorable to Mr.
Bhilno's candid.iuy. It wants to renew the
state organizations and obtain olllcinl
recognition from thu state central
committee. Should this recognition
bo granted It will bo with the distinct under
standing that tlio league Is to bo subordinate
to nud act under tha direction of the commit
too.

II U proposed lo present the nnme of Melville
K. Fuller nnd the Hen , John A. McShuno of
Nebraska is credited with leading the move
ment in that direction.VhlIo the Nebraska
statesman hoa been variously credited with
negotiations Involving the sale of stockyards
In South Omaha anil silver mines In Mexico ,
ho has been all the \\hlle encageu , with
the other domo-
co-operation of western -
eraU in orgauUtng a boom for the nhlof Jus
tice. When asked If ho had deserted the
cause of Cleveland , Mr. McShuuo replied
that ho considered Mr , Cleveland a great
man , but that , in bis opinion , the Illinois
man -vns the moro available under present
circu nstancos. When asked what would bo
the attitude of the Nohraski democracy , ho
inclined to speak with authority hut ex
pressed the opinion that it would giva hearty

JMImu'Hotii'H Tariff Hoforiiu'ru.
In a line with the "Knights of Reciprocity"
movement , us already published In TMK BIK ,
comas tha unnouncemonl of thu formation In
Minnesota of a turttt reform organization
within the ranks of thu rouubllcan party
Referring to this new factor and In probable
effect on tlio polities of the state , a SU Paul
man who is slopping at one of lho holels ,
said : "Tho'poUtical forces of the stale have
'been moving in Ihis direction ever since the
McKinley bill began to be talked about.
There has for a number of years been n senti
ment among the republicans ot the northwest
In opposition to thu high lariff policy. This
sentiment has received lho open encourage
ment nnd support of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press nnd smaller papers throughout the
stale who have boon constantly gaining in
strength. The men who were behind it now
feel that the time Is ripe for standing out
openly for tariff reduction. Although I be
lieve , as staled by ono of them , that its load
ers have no specltlu design with rccard to the
campaign of 1SK3 , their ucllon will , no doubt
have an Import tint bearing on the result.
When you consider how strong is lho anil-
high lanff sentiment throughout.ns voiced by
such Influential republican papers
as tbo Chicago Tribune and IIIK
OMAHA BIE : , It Is not bard to under
stand that an initial movement of this sort
may have a most important effect on the
future of the republican party. "
Till ! OAH THUST COMES TO TI'.IIMS.
By far the most important thing thus far
achfovod by Mayor Wuahburno's administra
tion is the contract with the gas companies
by which the city nnd private consumers nro
to uo supplied nl a substantial reduction on
the old rates nnd u percentage of the annual
gross earnings of the companies is to bo
turned in to lho city treasury. Similar at
tempts to bring this exclusive organization
to terms have been made regularly for years ,
but without result. The only difference be
tween the present controversy aud these of
preceding years has been that in this in
stance thu city's representatives had to d , il
r.ol with lho old gas trust , but with lho in
dividual companies that formerly comooscd
it. Voi , although the lru"t has been bereft -
reft of legal standing by the courts ,
It is still nn entity nnd Ihero
are these who maintain that the concessions
obtained were too dearly purchased , the gas
company Insisting us n condition precedent
that nil pending suits against tbo trusl
should bo dismissed.

Although there is hot wanting evidence
Unit In carrying out his campaign promise to
divorce the management of municipal affairs
from tha spoils system , the now mayor has
granted u suspiciously liberal allowance of
alimony It cannot bo denied that ho has
inaugurated n vigorous mm salutary policy
of roform. Whatever else may bo said of
him , he Is certainly a man of force and uo-
clsion of character. His inauguration was
signalized by un order closing thu gambling
houses , nnd thu promptness with which thu
order was Issued was no loss striking than
the thinness with which it is enforced.
Within twenly-four hours after the ofticial
mamlato every gambling resort in lho city
was .shut up , and the combined Influence of
their owners with their well known political
"pulls" has not succeeded in opening them

Health Commissioner Ware Is busily en
gaged in the task of improving the sanitary
condition of the lower quarters- the
city. In the course of his investiga
tions on South Clark .street in
what is Known as "Little Italy , " ho tins
discovered a most appalling condition of lllth
and squalor. Ono lop-sided frame tenement
house turoo stories high contaiucd no loss
than ninety famllloi. The deni/ons of this
district live by gathering old rags ana cigar
stubs and kludroU occupations. In thcso foul
smelling koutiels the rag pickers and "snipe-
shoolors" and their wives and children sleep
and eat , whllo from the roofs they dry their
nigs and clear stumps. Chickens and dogs
share the quarters of the human
being. The owners of these places
will bo compelled to see that they
uro kept In bettor condition nnd it 1s not im
probable that many of thorn will bo torn
down by the city authorities as unfit for hab
itation.
Tilt' COBNTV IIOSI'ITU. bCANlUT. .
In county affairs the perennial scandal is
on top. Isot long since a Swedish girl named
Anna Johnson was discharged from the coun
ty hospital as cured , and a fuw hours after
ward dropped dead on her cousin's doorstop.
A short tlmo afterward Tim BKK'd dispatches
told how two men , each with
n broken log , had bien dis
charged and driven from the hospital because
they had remained out longer than the rules
of the institution permitted. During tha
investigation now In progress It developed
that a paltcnt suffering from rheumatism had
boon compelled to got up at midnight nnd
wash dishes and clean medlclno bottles ; that
ono patient was worked continuously for
eighteen hours nnd that It is the custom to pull
patients out of boil to compel them to work.
Vet it Is doubtful whether the present In
vestigation will result in anything
moro than lho usual whitewashing.
Whllo Commissioners Llob and Struckman
have shown n determined effort to get at the
facts , other inemuors of thn board , led by
Dr. Brandt , exhibit au equally fixed purpose
that they shall do nothing of the land , and It
is Improbable thai any radical reform will bo
accomplished until n legislature can bo found
honest enough to pass n bill to tnko the man
agement of county Institutions out of the
hands of politicians and vest it in an indo-
poudont board of charities.

The Valuable Works to Be Found in
Omaha's Libraries.
LIBRARY LIFE-WORK OF BYRON REED ,
The Colic tiou nt Crelghton College
and the Interest Omniums Are
Displaying In the 1'urolmso
of Hare Works.
\Vhlloltcannotlruthfully bo staled that
the number of valuable llbr.irios as u whole
is very largo It. Omaha , it is true bopond nil
question that the rare books possessed by in
dividuals will compare more than tnvorably ,
numerically , with these of any city in tbo
union.
First In the lisl of v.Uuablo prlvalo libra
ries Is that left by the late Byron Itood. Mr.
Heed was an antlquaiian in lho best accepta
tion of the term , Inasmuch as ho not only devoted
voted n lifetime to the collection of the rare
volumes which adorned his library , uut he
was also regarded by all \ \ ho over had the
plcasuro of meeting him , whether on the
mart or In the seclusion of his parlor , as ono
of , if uot lho very best Informed men
in the city. In his pioneer days , whilst
laboriously laving thu foundation of that
magnificent fortune which ho afterward
achieved , ho began to gather together the
nucleus to the array ot volumes now lining
the walls of his late residence. The lilorarv
nodules around which till lho olbrrs formud
were oddlv enough n r.iro copy of Byron and
u copy of the Wyoklllt blblo. Ills love for
books Uept pace with his Increase Sn worldly
goods , and year by year ho added old uud
costly books cud precious manuscripts to his
collection.
A few years before his death Mr. Heed
compiled and published a tasty catalogue and
sent about two Mil rid rod copies to friends In
Europe aud America. ContrratuKilnry lot-
lors poured mlo him from all sides , lho bur
den of whoso praise was that Mr. Hood
was the happy ° iossobsor ) of a very rare
and well chosen library , "a vorltablo literary
oasis In the desert of commercial llfo , " as
Lowell prettily putll in his nolo of aekuowl-
mont. '
The collection ( s miscellaneous In scope
nnd embraces literature , science , art , religion ,
theology , phllcsoijhv. priceless copies of the
bible , LoaullfulCv . Illuminated missals nnd
wonn-eatod , niusiy- manuscripts , filled with
bcholostlu lore , InuUnct with classlo elo
quence , or lumi.ious with the word of eternal
life , which have came down from these nur
series of learning , the convont-s and monas
teries of the mldaloAgos ,
The gem of th v'jllcction is an old worm-
bored blblo two jcct in length , bound in thin
llmo-sinluod veltunV , The book Is the work
of some medhuvat artist who interspersed
the text with many oxqtilslto illustrations.
There is food for imagination hidden under
tlioso yellow covers ana huge brazen clasps ,
Wo see In these fair pages something moro
than the results of the patient toil which
porpelualod "thoughts which will live in a
llfo beyond life , "
Prom these carefully penned lines nnd bril
liant initial letters the pale , thoughtful face
of the cowlod transcriber looks upon us , nnd
from thu quint of his nustero cell , ho seems
to dart from his severe eyes a glance of pa
tient reproach at our worldlier nud moro
modern ago which enjovs thu fruit of tils
labor nnd repays him by declaring him n
"fat , lubberly do-nothing. "
Another book to which Interest at
taches on account of its antiquity
nnd quutntness is n large bible , pub-
lUhod. in 1 IS , ' ) in Gorman blnek-Iolter. Thu
rubrlcutlon of the volume is milil to have em
ployed seventy-live men. Some of thu Illus
trations no doubt viewed by our moro cul
tured nud artistic eyes , would cause n con-
lomptuous smile on account of their gro-
losquoness , but when wo remember that our
native land was then an "undlscovore.d
bouino" and "human thought still at spring-
lido" our contempt will change to ndmiralion.
A nolnblo manuscript is the "Historia
Porsunarum , " a series of heroic poems
commemorative of the martial deeds
of the Persians. It Is written in
in the Persian language without an accom-
panlng translation in Latin. A llttlo thick
quarto curiously Bound in parchment with
silken strings holding it together upon ex
amination proved to bo a copy ot the "King's
Quair" composed by James the First of Scot
land whilst a prisoner of stnto in Windsor
Castle for 18 yo. rs of his youth. The
poem was written about 1418 In honor of his
lady-love.Jnnc Beaufort.dauRhter of the Earl
of Somerset , of whom ho became enamored
during the weary years of his confinement.
Its peculiar value lies in the fact that it Is
the mirror of the royal singer's true feelings
and the simple touching story of his loves
and fortunes. Monnrchs have seldom time
or Inclination to thin parley with iholr
hoarls , and it is gratifying to lho pride of
men "casl in lho common mould" to see the
affections of human nature throbbing be
neath the royal ormino. A person not
usually poetically Inclined would grow ! > o
while musing over this volume which lolls
the story of the romantic affections of
Scotia's royal lovor-bard for beautiful Lady
Jano.
Thn library is osposially rich In historical
papers relating to America. Mr. Heed was
for years u member of the American Archio-
loglc.il society , and was a recognised author
ity upon American antiquities.
Ho bcquoated to the city his collection of
coins , rare books , manuscripts aud lilitoric.il
documents. Competent authorities estimate
the value of his bequest from SSO.OOO to SluO-
000. Ho also donated a site for a free public
library on llarnoy streel , 8Sxju : , nnd Is just
across the street from lho Crei.lio or day
nursery.
Tlo .losult fathers have very many old
tomes nnd rare manuscripts Iroasurod In
Iholr magnificent library in Crolghton Col-
lego. The boolc of Chronicles containing
about U,000 wood cuts nnd published
in M'ja by Koborgor Is u very
curious folio in German block-letter.
Another rare volume la Schaffor's Uorman
translation of Livy's "Historia Homae , "
published In Mutz In ll.'ill. SchatTer was lho
grandson of John Faust , the partner Outlon-
berg the inventor of printing , the "art pre
servative of all arts , " of whom Carlyle s.ild :
"Guilonbortr Is lho Christ of literature , for
through him lho dawn of printing was the
outbur > lof n now rovolallon. "
The history of the Council of Trent pub-
Used during the reign of .Imnos I , almost
simultaneously with the famous King J.imes
version of the bible is a volume of almost
priceless value. There are but two other
copies in America , ono in the Boston Atun-
naeum the olhor In lho library of Woodstock
college , Maryland. John Uo Mariana's ponderous
derous history of Spain , work from which
our own elegant Prescott drew much of

tributod its quota.Vhou in Malta years aijo
ho succeeded In securing a valuable collection
of old pictures of the commanders of the
knitfhts of Malta. The story of the suppres
sion of tno order of the Knights Templar In
Franco during the reicn of Philip IV. , surnamed -
named the Fair , is told in the barbaric French
of that period in n 100-paro pamphlet by
Jacques Hutin , n contemporary chronicler.
HutrU declares that that the Templars were
not nearly so blame worthy as the sycophan
tic court historians make thorn out , while In
Germany nnd Spain the order flourished in
its pristine purity and vigor. An old book
on art , the subject nearest Mr. Linlngor's
heart , is ono published in in lOSSby the Hoyul

Among the curios in his store is a dumpy
llttlo volume bearing the very slartllng title :
"A History of his Nib ; , The Devil , with a
Doscriptlsn of His Dwelling. " The author
of this highly sensational work Is old Daniel
Uofoe , whoso simple story of "Tlio Adven
tures of Kobinsou Urusoo" was a source of
iinfnllinc delight to us In our childhood days.
The book boara the date 17IO ! , and was
printed in London. "Tho Institutes of
Theology" In highly scholastic Latin by Ilop-
klm , the famous English divlno , Voltaire's
