It was prolialil.v not due t that Honii'wliat fai'timiH ci-tlii'lsm that, in the niultoi' of Inti'Pfst, thore was u startling ivvlvul ilurlni; tho past week. On Thursday a I'liimiiitlco of attorneys to whom had heen roforrod a lot of testimony tatun by foinnilttoi's of tho li''lslatnro bi'aiinjr on tlu adintnlstra tlon of statu institutions, reports itH Undines, which wort1 to tho olTi'ct that tho wtuto has boon systoinatloally plan dorod for years past by tho oout motors who have, boon fnrnisliinj,' supplies-os-peolallj relating to the ooniluot of af fairs in conducting the insane hospital and the penitentiary in this city. Tills report promises to make of the pro-cut so.-sion one of the nio-t intcu-cly inter ostium over hold since tho days of Governor Hntler's impeachment, or more Interesting than any ecs-lon ever held in this state, as it recommends Impeachment proceedings ii).'aiiist Sec retary of State John V. Allen, Attor ney CJoiioral Ha-tln's, Laud Commis sioner Humphrey and ex-Treasurer Hill, cliaritiK' them with malfea-aiieu in otlluo. It (loelaros further that evi dence is at hand to warrant such pro ceedings and tho lllliitf of suits to re cover from these olliolals and con tractors for supplies under them the money of which, it alleges, the state has been plundered. All of this testi mony has not been made public, but some of It has found Its way Into the public prints, and it is of such a tenor as to load to the conclusion that (or haui K. Kelts, now in jail await ino; trial for alleged frauds in tho sale of coal to tho asylum, Is a martyr us compared to the boncllciarles of some of tho lily frauds that have been perpetrated npiiinst tho state. This investigation business is decidedly a wholesome pro cess, and all f,rmd cltlens want to seo it ro on. 1'eoplo have lonjj suspected that tho state was lwlnj; robbed for years past. Now their suspicions have been strengthened by the lindins of a coiumltto of lawyers acting as a legis lative tribunal. They are naturally anxious to have tho Inquisition yo on, to tho end that tho innocent may be exonerated and tho guilty punished, if any there be who are guilty. Jet it be undcr-tood that punishment will surely follow ollleial corruption, but let it come as a matter of justice and not as a source of political capital for any politi cal party. All are Interested alike In preserving tho revenues of the state and the honor of its ollioinU. The taint and general suspicion of corruption that continually hedges about every state olllclal and clings as a stench around the state house corridors should be at once ellectually wiped out, and tho state liou-o walls placarded with emphatic declaration- that corruption will not Iw tolerated. u i llort is bo inu made to implicate numerous ok-ollleiul-i, jiud a proposition is made to extend tho investigation back Into former administrations. 'Flu? current session promise- to be sulUeiently in teresting, thank you, ere It i over. At last tho contract for the west O street viadiwt has been let to n .Mil wuukeo bridge building company and work thcreou will undoubtedly -non lu t,'in. It will bo a rciit luiproveiiu-nt. and idtleiis generally approve tlu- ac tion of tho-e couucilmeji who have worked to have it built. It 1- true that tho term- upon which it is built are not decidedly advantageous to the city, aud In in years to come, perhaps when most of the present ;.'cnorntlo;i hae atsed hence, the burden inllictcij upon tho city by the acceptance of the terms of the railway companies will brin;,' down malidictious upon the heads of the present e!t, council. The sole maintenance of that viaduct is bound to prove a heav, burden, aud entails an c.pouo the contemplation of which, together with a realization of the fact that they have e-caped any futuie responsibility, must ullord the railway oltleials eou-idorable satisfac tion. Hut the people wanted a viaduct at any cost, and dnl not -top to peep too far into the futuie. Any council man who did not favor accepting the proposition would hae been court inj: tho severest orilieisin. It is to be regretted that in tinallj awarding tho contract for the building the coun cil should have 1 dulged in an un-eom-ly squabble that led to a suspicion of boodle. There Is no question that oitliur one side or the other 'His -abject to undue inlluences. Tho pro posed viaduct will bo of stool, or iron nuil stono piers, with paved roadway and plunked walks ulong ouch sldo. It will bo 1,700 foot lone;, reachiiif,' from Eighth street wont to Third street, and the central roadway will be twenty-live feet wide, exclusive of the sk-foot walks. At Third street one approach will lie north on that street, and an other will come In from tin-west. The contract price is about KI.I00, but tho cost will undoubtedly run beyond that figure. People mav reasonably take with sooral graii s of allowance most of tho damaging statements now being elreii- lated concerning a good many citizens of tills city. An examination of the olllclul ballot to be used in the coming election will disclose the fact that the gontlomcn w lioso names ofteuost ap pear in those impassioned personal at tacks are printed thereon, so, there fore, if your house is robbed or your horse stolen or your henroost sacked, it will hardly pay you to have one of these gentlemen arrested on suspicion. Ho may not 1h) tin; tliicf, and If lie is lie may bo able to fasten tho guilt upon the other follow. The alleged fact that a man is a liorsotbief, tlnig. black log, robber or falsillcr. when demon strated in the heart of a political can vass, may not lo safely taken as proof that he Is not always a consistent and conscientious Christian and a gentle man in every respect. Citizens who have moved since last fall's registration of voters, and liae not secured tho enrollment of their names in their now precincts, can do so today. And they will llnd it no child's play. Tho man who was not registered last fall has simply to go to the registrars in his precinct, submit to tlie prescribed inquisition and have his name duly enrolled, but ho "ho was registered and has moved into another precinct don't preserve so easily his right to vote, lie must llrst go to tho registrars of tho precinct from which lie moved, submit to a course of ques tions aud secure a cortlllcate. Then he must carry this to tho registrars In his now precinct aud have ills name duly enrolled. Tho man who-o time docs not usually hang heavy on his hands nftou linds it hard work to keep in line with tho new-fangled ideas of what American citloiwhip mean.-,. There promises to be a larger vote cast by the ladies tills year on members of tho board of education than ever be fore. It lias heretofore been supposed that only Indie-who had children of school age or who paid taxes in their own names possessed the right to vole. A decision of the attorney general and the state superintendent of public in struction, however, is to tho oiled that the wife of a man who pays taxes is also entitled to vote, probably upon Un equitable theory that she is a joint owner in the property taxed. A woman's appetite is said to bo u conspicuous us hor desire-, l!efore t he world she nibbles daintily at a cheese Hindu loh, and in the sacred silence of tho pantry she cats pork aud bean with a tablespoon and wipes oil her cherry lips with tho dish elotli. A new amusement has been introduced that will woi-k a betruyal of her deception. It Is known list he progressive pie party, J he game is given in the dining room, and the players sit down hungry. The pie is brought in and the couple .start i ith'g- The couple finishing llrst gets a credit inai'K, ami tlie winners of four rounds of pie iuo presented with a souvenir spoon. The booby prize is a turnover made of leather.

He was a middle aged gentleman, who was sensible in many tilings, hut utterly demented on tho subject of Christian Science. His wife was a good woman and did not take tho palnn to either verify or ills provo tho mystic Ideas of her husband. Hut she became sick. as all good w men may, and her husband insisted on con vincing her that his theories wore well founded. He prayed font ally, lint Ills wife became worse eery hour. A day had pas-cil, and although tho prayers wore numerous, the good woman was actuality sullorlug, she pleaded with him to scud for a doctor. lmt he refused. Finally when she could endure the facet no longer he imiminone.l a neighbor ami a physician soon had Iter around again. Hut the sign is torn from its hinges, and domestic discord reigns in the family of one misguided faith healer. Lincoln is comparathcly free from dudes and oilier vermin lmt now aud then one w ill laid and hlos-nui out until withered. It takes a good deal of real pure nerve to pose as a full-Hedged swidl of the howling t Nancy species. Therefore one of these things attracts no little attention when it appears upon our public thoroughfares without a chaperon or conservator.

An amusing story is related concern lug a somowhat'Ludioroiis blunder com mit t -d by a w'oll-known professional man of Lincoln up at r'ullcrlou a few days since.
