Nothing at tracts tinfavcrablo attention so quickly fioni stlnngeis as some of Lincoln's free and easy village, chin ncterlstks. One Irn Hollirgworth of Hustings hns filed with the Leard of public Inuds and buildings (Lnigts spall st the innniigcineut of tho In lane asylum at that place, but the Loin (I has Men lit to Ignore tin in. They einiitted Dr. Johtitcn, the supei Intel dent, to explain to 1 Lt in Mint llollli gsw oi th's charges were not lellnLle ond, withiut fuitl.er testimony, whitewashed the management nnd tent him bock. This was a remarkably chnritableact on the part of the board on public lands and Luildliigs, especially inasmuch nsTJr. John son is a din.ocrnt. Meantime Ilolllngswoith specifies a number of instances in which, he claims, attendants have been cruel to pa tients. People who have relatives confined In the asylum will doubtless be led to wonder whether or not theioinny be some truth In Holllngworth's charge of cruelty, and will not Bppiecfate the whitewashing process of the board en the one-sided showing made by the superintendent. A charge of ciuelty to these unfoitur.ntts tuglit to call for a thorough In vestigation without delay, in which themun who prefers the charges might have a chance to substantiate them. A brutal attendunt should not be tolerated among tho demented for a me meut, nml the faintest suspicion tliut the attendants nt tlio Hasting asylum are biutnlln their treatment cf their wants ought to li.i'ure the numleisof the bcurd to foi ego their political work long enough to investigate. People have kicked so long; nnd loudly against the methods of the street sweeper thnt kicking a peats to bo of little avail. Almost every evenlig now, as ladles and gentlemen ore returning from the theatres or other places of amusement or con mumnu, they enccuuter the stilling trail of the street sweeper. An uncanny looking object gees luinhling dewn the paved streets, discernible now and then by the dim lump half hidden within its uuappioacliuble let-esses, but re vealed chiefly and most acutely by tne clouds of choking and blinding dust it leaves behind It, completely filling the street fiom side to side, breeding the incipient stages or nasul ratal lb, putting bd tastes in people's mouths and woise (melts in their nostrils and luinitig hundreds of costly evening toilets. Street sweeping is almost an absolute necessity, but a little sprinkling before the sweeping is al most as mueh of a necessity. Iheie is no sense in the eisistenee shown In sweeping tho streets in the filthiest, nastiest and most disagreeable wiiy that human ingenuity can Invent. If there were move sprinkling there need be less sweeping, for half of the crop wruld not liseup beyond (lie reach of the tweeter tnlj to settle again as soon as he has passed, Last week Tuts Couiukh directed uttention semewhat pointedly to the fact that Mayor AVelr waste utfng and Igiioilng the police force. That intimation was published Satur day morning. Mayor Weir hud not issued an older to the police force for mouths, and had declined to direct them. The next day Mayor Weir called up the chief of ivollce and directed him to close up the Sunday show. The conclusion can easily be drawn. And as TlIK Couiukh I picdicted, his onler was promptly obeyed, showing that the mayor was lespcnslble himself for some evils In city government that weie tiouhlli'g his soul, es he needed only to order them stopped tohavo them stoiped. The police are at Mayor V eir's disposal ai d he cannot shrink respon sibility for any violations of law peimitted. It hns Lee n claimed that frequently when the major gives oi tie is to the police that they would infoi m the invudei? of the law in advance of their coming, thereby giving them time to escaie. It is alto said that the icllce, on iccelviugoitleiB ficei the mayor, would go out and make light of them, ami moke a Iniighli-g stock of the city's chief executive, fc'ueh a stale ol nlfalrs could quickly te leiutdied by taking the proier steps. If a rept it of such proceedings weie n.nde to the turned, would that bony toler ate such a condltkn of things; i The low among the exponents of love and charity out at University l'lace hns increased ill Intensity as the wecus have tolled by since its itiuuglliutlou, Mild the situation has been one lint mild 1 ut lead the helleu'ts in other fields id the unbelievers in tiny creed tit marvel at the Univeislty pluco Ideul of love una uiailty. xvo lisii wunei ever gcMipeei and trhi lued aguiust each other willimoie upisreiit lulled, spleen ui.d venom thiiii have the dbpulniils In thlHchurch row. The good Mtrfhcdtstscif Lincoln have wisely kept nk of ft tin the low, but dining I lie past week the ugl) distill hu he e swooped down UKiutho coufeience at Nebraska City, It is possible that Chancellor Crelghton has been pom - eittod, as ho claims, by patties having pel. sonal grievance, or on ttie other liana It i may be possible that Messrs. Hmltli and Hutch, who ate both, like himself, Method ist ministers, nmv be prosecuting the ease against him through a sense of Christian duty, but III either ease the row Is n disgrace to the church. It would have been much better for Chancellor Cielghton, for tho Wexleyon Univeislty and tor the Methodist church had Chancellor Cielghton resigned his position at tho head of tlio college long ago, before the opposition crystnllrod and when ho could ha vu resigned gracefully with out his appealing to have been forced out. It would npienr to n good many people that If he hud the Interests of the college and the church mm eat heart, and not so much his own Interests, he would have resigned, know ing that he was obnoxious to many of his Methodist brethren. And this he would have done i egal dless of culpability on his part In the Inst nines now chilkcd up against him. Chancellor Cielghton glories in being a "lighter" and he has met a rotcilo of minis ttrlul confreres who will give him plenty of employment In thnt Hue as long as he re mains in a position of piomlueucu among them. V There lire u goe-d many business men shouting for the encouragement of home In dustiy whoioiely need a little of their own medicine, especially when it coiiich to tho matter of advertising. They petslstontly neglect the homo puiers which have Inlsnred li.cessantly thtough good and ill for the up building of the city, and readily bestow their I ntroimge upon eveiy bilking Take that pre rents itself to count the gullible. Hueli men are Ignoiniit of the llrst principles of profit nblc ndvertisiug. Standard publications that regularly go cut among the homes of coisumetsls the best and only piofltnble means of advei tlslng, as well as the only re liable.

Their reports are flagrantly colored to suit their political pref erences. The republican imperii would hivo it that llryan is being flayed nllvo and the democriils have It that Kiel 1 is retihtrly nailed to the eross. When u ui'wifier In its news columns gives accurate reports of the sieeclis It Is of servioe to Its readers, as It enables them to judge of the merits of the seakers, but when it omits the s( eeches and writes Its news revnrt from a pirtlimi stand K)lnt, It Is (lolllw'intely endeavoring to nils lend It's' feudei sand stampliselt'Trs uunoitliy of conlldetico.

It. Oakley. He is a representative man and has none ot the tarmarks of deiniigogv,th.t characterize one or two of his colleagues . Hi I A suggestion of Tiik Couhikh in its list week's issue appears to have burne fruit. It suggested that Would-lie-governor Morton and Woutd-he-ugaln-congreshsiiian llryan could charm large audiences lu a Joint dis cussion of the free silver question. Hardly had the ink grown cola when Mr. Morton bobs up in Lincoln nnd roasts his fallow deiu ecrut, llryan, unmercifully on tlie silver is sue. Mr. Morton did a very unwise thing, lorn great ninny iieiMicrais reseuioii ills III- i hick on iiv. iiryuu s ci uouiiy, .Mr. niyuii Is stronger in Lincoln than Mr. Morton can evi r hope to lie.

A fl lend of Me. Doollttle is ie nisilile tor the statement that he has merely gone 1 1 set -tie up some business affairs for a relative und has no intention of relluqtildiliig his resi dence in Lincoln. Tho s line friend says he ha ussuruuee from Doollttle that he will he a candidate for the republican nomination for mayor next spring, as lie etiects then to be re-established in biisiiie-M in Llue-ilii. 1 1 I The republican county committee has de clined to permit two of its le;UlstiVdCtud dates, Messrs.

Yes, I can Imngltin you nre Itar.lug nt this Inolfenslvo cptsthi with a hsik of blank amar.-'iiient written iisin each and every feature of your countenance, and 1 fullyroally.il the liberty taken lu writing these few Hues, but III looking over the col umiis of your paper which, by the way, my thoughtful parents send me weekly I have become quite Interested In your Chicago corresMiudeut and have often wondered who the Kirsoii In question Is. In this day and age Chicago Is tho metropolis of the west, but lu a few short years who knows but wlmtHollth llend, Wash,, will have attained that seal of prominence and instead of send ing east for Items of popular Interest; this wild and wooly west will be the criterion on all social problems of the day. Indent, I doubt not but what you would think we had already reached that highest pluitcle of success If it were in oiir power to attend some of its genial gatherings. However, we must take Into consideration the fact that a great number of these western people wci n Isiru r tnl brought up on tho coast and their Intercourse with the world lu general has amounted to very little, Hulllce to say that while the majority of them may Ini a little unsophisticated, to strangers, o -pedal ly au they very hospitable, and I have often tho't how true In this respect Is the old adage lu regard to "most In llllaiit diamonds often be ing enclosed in tho roughest of stones," Hut, Mr. Kditor, don't for a moment allow yourself to become Impressed with tlio Idea thnt. nil of the Inhabitants of this gay and festive little town are of the clnss described, for If on a sojourn here you would llud tJ your sorrow thut we are well supplied with 'scheming real estate men, proix-rty owners, the greater part ot whom, I regret to add, abide not with us but III tlie effete cast, wait lug, I siipisise, for the railroad, and by the way it will I mi completed and trains in run ning order by tho first of tho year, The now station Is now under way and while It may not compare favorably with tho one in Lin coln, it is a very good and substantial mod eru structure. Our now hotel Is "strictly lu it," ns a number of Lincoln iooplu ca'i testl y, and the credit Is due the officials of the Northern l'uclflu railroad. It is to ho hand somely furnished aiul (livened as soon as truf lie demands, and with amplo room for uc-, commodatlou. Its own water txiwor and electric light plant, I am justlllcd in saying that it equals even the Lincoln. It I keep on in this strain much longer you will certainly come to the conclusion that my boomliu fa cilities mo getting the best of me, so to change the subject I will tell you of an Im mense whale seen on the ocean beach between the Columbia river and our present location. It measured forty-seven feet in length and eight in diameter, being of the hump back sK'clo. It Is claimed that Indians had harKsiiied It unit dying from Its wounds It was washed ashore by tho immense breakers, Alter being viewed by thoiisauilsuf ooplo it was put in a state of articulation by a taxi dermist, and If I am not mistaken It will bo exhibited at the Columbian oxisosltion. You can imagine how oderlferous It became after lying on the sand for a mouth or so, but east ern tourists were undaunted in their efforts to secure n until plis-e of Its skin to entry away as a souvenir ot the coast. On entering the VV'llhipa liarboi It is quite uu ordinary sight to see one or two bundled seals hiKily busking III the sun on the sand bars. You will understand that these are not of the rur-lsoariiig spec o and In a llnan- clal way thoy benefit man but little.
