Tho recent exercise of the pardoning power
by Governor Boyd In the case of Captain
Yocum has brought the subject of pardons
prominently beforo tho public. In all of tho
discussions the opinion has been unanimous
that the power to pardon person convicted
of crime should reside In some ono vrltliln tho
state, though some hold that there should bo
modifications In the present law as. for in
stance, tho establishment of a board of par
dons of fwyi three members, who would di
vide tho responsibility with tho governor.
This plan has been ti led in a number of
states, and experience has demonstrated that
it Is, It anything, less satisfactory than that
which obtains In Nebraska. Ono man is
more likely to give an application for par
don conscientious and careful consideration
than a comparatively Irresponsible board of
several members.
If tho railroad companies follow tho prece
dent set this week It is probable that here
after political conventions In this state will
not ba attended by the great crowds that
usually gather on such occasions. The dele
nates from this city to a convention In an
other county were considerably surprised
when the customary request for transporta
tion was met by a very polite but tlrm re
fusal to put up passes, and a number of dele
gates stayed home. If you've got to pay
your own way and boar all your own ex
penses, going to conventions isn't so very
much fun, and In the future there may not
bo tuch a wild scramblo for places on 'the
delegations. But tho railroads will doubtl ess
relent when it comes to tho conventions this
fall.
Notwithstanding all that has been said the
plans of the Rock Wand railroad company
do not seem to bo definitely settled yet, and
no one knows just what the company will or
will not do. Hut if it Is the intention to
cross O street at grade in the vicinity of the
Antelope as claimed, the objection raised by
property owners and interested persons are
very proper. A railroad crossing on the
main thoroughfare of the city, on a level
with the street, would seriouly interfere
with travel, and be a very unsightly obstruc
tion. It Is bad enough to have grade crossings
down on the bottoms. To permit them in
other parts of the city would be a great mis
take. V
The police Injunction case will bo heard
before Judge Tibbetta next Tuesday. In the
meantime the excise board is on top, and the
mayor, who is in reality tho chief of police,
is held responsible for tho acts of persons
whom he did not appoint and who are per
sonally objectionable to him. The whole
controversy is greatly to be deplored, and
the fact that the provisions of the Lincoln
charter relating to the police affairs of the
city are not as explicit as they might be, is
, not a proper excuse for the confusion which
has been caused by tho conflict between tho
mayor and tho other two members of the
excise board. In the absence of sufllclently
definite provisions for tho appointment of
police and the management of the uffuirs of
the department it would have been in order
for the members of the excise board to have
made an amicable arrangement by which
matters relating to jiollce could be managed
harmoniously until such a time as suitable
amendments could bo added In affairs of
the kind w here tho Interests of the whole city
are at stake, personal feeling and prejudice
should be relegated to the rear. Hud this
course been followed the frequent conflicts
in the management of the police depart
ments would have been avoided and better
discipline would now obtain. For, without
casting any undue reflections, it is a tact
that the efficiency of the force has been im
paired by the developments of the past
twelve months, it is to be nopeu mat in tne
present instance the decision of the1 court
will be sufficiently clear to remove all doubt
as to Its meaning and effect,
Lincoln has never bad much of a reputa
tion as a summer resort, but Messrs. BIckey
and Spencer, tin managers of the two parks,
have unbounded faith In the opportunities
here offered for the establishment of a great
retort, and they confidently expect to see
this city rival Hot Springs, Mamtou, and
other similar places In a few years.
In a few weeks a project which has
dragged along for several years will bo en
tirely accomplished and Lincoln will have
finished and splendidly equipped one of the
handsomest Y. M. C. A. buildings, as the
phrase goes, "west of Chicago," Those pur
sons who have not examined tho new build
ing have a very inadequate conception of the
value of this, what might appropriately be
called public improvement. It will offer all
of the advantages of modern club life to the
young men of the city, without any of the
more or less demoralizing influences of pure
ly convivial organizations, and its advant
ages will be available for all classes, The
gymnastic exhibition given Wednesday
evening at the Funke opera house under the
awplces of the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation, indicates quite forcibly the interest
which has been awakened In the scientific
methods of physical development and In this
department especially, the opening of the
new buildirg will afford facilities unequaled
In the state.

Mahler's Kaster Carnival,
Jacob Mahler, that genial and ever gallant
teacher of dancing and deportment, sends
me a pressing Invitation to attend his fancy
dress Easter carnival which occurred last
night at his beaut if ul assembly hall. While
I appreciate Mahler's kindness In remember
ing me from time to time in extending such
pleasant courtesies, yet there Is always a re
gret comes with the receipt of each in
vitation btenmo I cannot avail myself of
the proferred enjoyment. And by tho way,
isn't It about time for Mr. Mahler to como to
Lincoln again! He promised to re
turn in two years, and it's nearly threo yoarB
already. Fact Is, however, Mr. Mahler has
larger flsh to fry, and like any business man,
goes where It pays best. Last summer while
In Washington I met tho jovial dancer
and his very interesting family, and to use a
common vuluar phrase, -'ho was right in It."
He waa there on a special engagement of two
weeks and so groat was his success that he
became in great demand with the creme de
la creme of the gay capital. He was oskeu
to return during the holidays and assume
the arduous duties of master of ceremonies
at the white house, but his classes at home
(St. Louis) numbering over 'JOO would not
permit of it and he was compelled to forego
that distinguished honor and pleasure.
Mahler now has more calls for his services
this spring than he can possibly accept and
therefore I think it vory doubtful If be will
visit Lincoln. Ho undoubtedly has "better
fish to fry" olsowhero at least so I am In
formed. The Spring Poem.

Oil, where shall wo meet with the old-tlmo
girl
Who wont to the churoh to pray?
In Iwr simple lint nnd home-grown hair
And her dress of n quiet gray?
How her eyes were enst on the book she bold
And not on tho youths and men
Oh, tho old-tlmo girl with her faith dovout,
When attain shall wo seo her when?
When the robins nest again,
And tho bloom Is on tho ryn;
When the floss is on tho com,
And tho swallows homoward fly.
I went to church on Sunday last. Several
parties had urged me to go, saying that the
Kaster services would bo superb, and that
tho decorations would be worth the price of
subscription alone. I didn't notico tho deco
rations, and I don't distinctly remembor,
shameful ns tho fact is, whether there were
any services. I know that tho ladies of this
section of th'o Platte country wero tbero in
all their bravery, and that there wero scores
of wonderful hats present. Some of thoso
hats were dreams of Invllness, hut I haven't
la-en educated in tho ethics of millinery, and
I can't di scribe them. '1 hey wero marvel
lous structures, embodying lace nnd flowers
and bunches of seaweed and kickshaws in
numerable, nnd I was so Interested in them
that I paid no attention whatever to the
doubtless eloquent words of the pastor. The
reason I have written this rigmarole Is to In
troduce a formal complaint against the peo
ple who regulato the fashions. It isn't fair
that the women should monopolize all the
attention and admiration In church. Give
the men a chance; many of them are or
phans nnd deserve encouragement. As
things go now a man has to wear a hat that
is an abomination; it Is either a soft, flabby
affair with no shape to it, or a stiff, un
wieldy flower pot that leaves a crease in his
forehead when he wears It. Ho is so ashamed
of it that when he goei to church he takes it
off as soon ns he enters and hldos it,
aud sits bareheaded through tho perform
ance. Let man decorate his hat with herb
age and farm produce as woman doe Give
him a chance to exhibit that inherent love
for tho beautiful which is his most charming
characteristic.
Nothing particular is going on In society
along the Platte river. There was a muslcale
at the residence of a leading horse owner
and raiser the other evening, but owing to
some inadvertence the beer gavo out early
in the oveuiug aud the guests rolled tLelr
host Into a wad and fired him Into a cistern.
I am glad to notice that pole yellow whls

the favorite color last year and It was very
embarrassing to many of us tocial leaders
whose Intermittent whiskers crop out in
places with an orange marmelado color and
in other places languish and fall to grow, I
know a veuerablo gentleman in Lincoln who
went to a dyer to have his whiskers colored
brown, but the wretched dyer put too much
anallne in the fluid and tho victim wore a
lustrous purple beaid four days. You could

I can't truthfully say that I admire the
clothing worn by fashionable men this
spring. The brown cloth of which it is com
posed looks as though It had been rained on
and allowed to become rusty. As for my
self, I am wearing a mohair sack coat aud n
plug bat and other garments. Peoplo say
that the effect Is picturesque. I am training
to wear eye glasses now, and have purchased
a pair with a chain on them. I can't see
through them very distinctly, but a man has
to sacrifice something for style, aud so long
as I write for the Counimi I Intend to be

no matter what the expense may bo.
A good many peoplo throughout the state

The best authorities ou the etiquette of the
table Inform me that when eating soft
boiled eggs It is not good form to hold the
egg in the hand and scoop out the contents
with a fork. Neither is it en regie to dump
the empty shells into the finger bowls, or to
try to knock flies off the cako liosket with
your napkin. I took dinner tho other day at
the residence of an elite and fashionable
family, and was surprised when the hostess
asked me not to pour Worcestershire sauce
on the desert. I would liko somo Informa

sauce freely on pudding and ico cream, and
pound salad dressing with tho soup, but if
such conduct is vulgar I would like to know
so that I can reform. I expect to uiinglo
with society a great deal this summer and
fall and would like to lie as charming as pos

tell me how to learn to play on tho zither or
mandolin or xylophone. I have no musical
accomplishments whatever, and sometimes
when I am in the parlors of the wealthy and
am urged to do something to entertain the
company, 1 am compelled to tell over again
the archa6loglcal stories I have told so often,
and which were handed down from Mount

I Written for Tun Count xh.
New Youk, April 10, 1803. Winter has as
usual been lingering In tho lap of spring,
and tho iieralstent old chap has dally been
stroking his frozen whiskers, sending a
spray of feathery crystals that havo looked
more like apple blossoms ovor the sunny
smiles of tho maiden. This picturesque
tumultousuoss in eight or ten successive
squalls every day, and Holy week have com
bined to mako things theatrical exceeding
queer, and yet on Monday two managers
had the pluck to bring novelties to town.
"Hpooke," a play that has been seen on the
road as "Cynthia's Lovers," is a series of
New England character bits with a vary
thin ami conventional plot and no Interest
outside tho quaint personages who exhibit
nn exaggerated formof Yankoo peculiarities.
It was written by Charles Bernard who Is
said to Imi the dramatist of Now England,
but ns acted at the Union Square theatri,
"Spooks" failed, and tho progress of the
American dramatist bad another temporary
rebuff It will, however, not damage the re
pute of Mr. Bernard badly, for the charac
ters are sharply drawn, and one of them
(Cyuthlii) was ubsurdedly delightful. The
play, however, lacks Interest In motive aud
grows wearisome beforo It Is half finished.
White nil the dramatic editors were looking
at tho newest dramatic study of the "Down
East'' on Monday tho most curious show ever
seen In a Broadway theatre was going on at
tho New Park Theatre. "Tho Golden Lad
del" which broke down In the middle last
week was to havo been run through this, and
nt the eleventh hour Manager Dunlevy
"filled his time" with a composition with tho
mysterious title of "O'Flynu in Mexico."
TIih play Is so hoiwlessly bad as to be amus
ing, and It illustrates just how good natured
a nietroK)lltan audience is, or "O'Klynn"
would have been laughed off the stage. In
justice to the company it must bo said that
the New Park Theatre orchestra was quite
as bad, as the play or pltyers. "O'Flynu"
may bo a success in Mexico, but In New
York ho Is a dreadful frott. Du.NLor.
"The Soudan" at Funke's Monday evening
was a rich treat in melodrama aud scenic
art. It is one of the few pieces that is meet
ing with big success this season and such is
certainly the fate It daservo. The cast con
tains a list of people capable In the various
parts, and the military effects forms a grand
picture beyond description. Some very
clever work was done throu ghout the piece,
notably that of Mlsi Bank who received
due appreciation at various tfuioi durhu the
evening. Mr. Itoblnsou made a most herolo
character and his work generally was gen
teel and very acceptable. The scenory Is
massive and shows some quaint as well at
stirring pictures. Thecompiny carries two
carloads of stago paraphernalia, Ituluilug
several horse, and with It and Iti finished
dramatic ability present a most excellent
lierfor-nauce. Tho house was lorge. but tha
I pie o deserved a larger uudleuco.
That cheap priced shows draw lots of
atronage, whether they draw much money
or not, has again been demonstrated this
week at the Lansing, and Manager Church
baa had no cause to complain for lack of
patronage, for at each and every perform
ance the curtain was rung up to largo audi
ences. The attraction has baeu Isaao Pay
ton's Comedy company, who oMiied Monday
evening in "The Planter's Wife," and was
successful from the first. Other piece put
on wero "Kathleen Mavourneen," "Mother
and Son," "Under the Gaslights," "Ten
Nights in a Bar Room," "Trodden Down,"
"Ros) Garland."
Miss Keene is an actress of much genuine
dramatic ability, and during the engage.
merit has tnode a decided hit In thli city. It
(s no small matter to Im well versed In the
wldo range of-cbaractors required for com
any that presents so largo a reietolre, and
Miss Keeno seems to handle each wlthequtl
ease and success. Mr. I 'ay ton, ns of eld. Is a
imiiiilnr mid tmlngtnkliii? artist, and vhiim
seem only to ndd fresh laurels to ail already
excellent reputation, His work In each of
the pieces presented shows that clever tact
which fastens Itself to a well trained and
capablo actor, and consequently Mr. l'syton
linds hiuisnir at homo In most any role. The
support of tho company In general 1 very
ralr, though there are some In tho cast that a
little extra work at rehearsing would not In'
Jure. The costuming Is far nbovn tho avr
ago, and the company .carries a very credita
ble iMtnd and orchestra. At tho matluto
today "Mothor and Hon" will lm reisjaUd,
and 'JO rents will ndmlt to the boat seat in
thohoiiM), Tho engagement ulosos tonight
with 'iloso Garland," prill's for which re
main 10, IX) and 1KI cents.
Tho flnn nuillonce that braved tho heavy
rain Tuesday evening to leach the First
Prodiyterliin church, felt wall rcptld for th
veuturo before the flint burst of harmony
had ouihxl. Thu Aeolian quartette, com
posed of the clear, iKinerful soprano voices
of Mrs. Wndstvorth nnd Miss Hlchnrdsoti,
Mrs. llngunll's sweet nlto and Mrs, Camp
bell's rich full contralto, 1 certainly well
named. The perfect harmony of tho well
modulated voices, tha varied program, tha
artlstlu arrangement of colors In tho beauti
ful dresses (a thing not to be despised In a
ladies'quartette)nnd the pleasing porifmallty
of the ladles all combined to mako a most
charming entertainment. The quartettes
wero well received and each afforded the audi
ence great pleasure, "Legends" being encored
heartily and "Tha Cuukoo" with enthusiasm.
For encores the ladles gave "Forsaken" aud'
"A Little Bird." In the trio, "I Waited for
the Lord," Mrs. Campbell's deep coutralto
was used with lino effect, Hers Is an unus-,
uul voice, taking the low bass notes with re
markable eoio. Mrs . Campbell certainly baa
a future beforo her. While Mrs. Bagiiall
potwesmw a sweet, plaintiff alto that Is valua
ble in tho quarUtte, yot her accomplishment
in that line mIos In tho glow of her wonder
ful power In manipulating that mastodon
of instruments, the pipe organ. Her rendi
tion of tho caprice was pleasing, but sha
played the Sonata with a spirit and grandeur
that aroused her audience to tho unusual
tribute of applause beforo the piece waa fin
ished, and at the end was recalled and bowed
her acknowledgments.
Miss Richardson In the Schubert selection
charmed her auditors, but did not prepare
them for tho seemingly eudloM power of Iter
clear voice in Tusti's "Goodbyo" with lt
passionate ending, Into tho spirit of which
she throw herself with true, artistlo abandon.
Not satisfied with two numbers, a third was)
clamoured for and her sweet voice was beard
again in De Koven's "Promise me." Mrs,,
Wadsworth's flute-Ilka tones were never
heard to better advantage than in the Indian
Bell song from Lakme. The extraordinary
compass, wonderful smoothness and flexi
bility or hor voice and her charming manner
while singing won great admiration and
afforded all much pleasure. In response to
an encore Mrs. Waits worth sang with tea
demons and pathos, "The Last Row of Sum
mer." Following Is the program t
