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

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

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.

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. When meichants leuru tl Is and gov
(in tin nilehes nccoidlngly they will have
acrrulnd something to their profit nnd nd
latitnge. Hcueli dustry, likechntlty, should
I (gin at home, nnd the inert hunt who here
niter get h mumping aiound outside of the
tegular lines to savo a dollar by patronizing
the ubiquitous fake adveiliser might as well
takeek.wn his heme Ii dustry sign. Ithas
been told and retold that Canada Hill, the

doubtedly n slander on the cloth, but were it
ttue as gospel, Canada Hill's slncli on the

that ol tlio fake advertiser on some mer

The partisan press Is making Itself decid
edly ridiculous over tliallrynii-Fleld deliites,
and at the satin) time ruining the reputation
of the newspatHTs generally as a medium (f
accurate news reports. 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

It enables them to judge of the merits of the

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

Republican nspirants for tlie mayoralty

moved when John Doollttle left for Chicago.

up some business affairs for a relative und
has no intention of relluqtildiliig his resi

Mu. i:iiiT0ii! 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. In this
section of the country many peoplo uiukii
regular pets of them, but V) me It isqulle
