Wo arc not Informed as to the man
ner in which Gorham lietts Is attired;
hut in other respects his case very
closely parallels Met Holy's.
A siibscrlhor wants to know why im
peachment proceedings wero com
menced against tho state otllcers. Wo
haven't any very clear ideas on t his sub.
joot,lutvohavoii viikiio Impression that
tho row was stirred up chlotly for tho
purpose of advertising H. II. Atwood .v
Co., tho people from whom Mr. Dorgau
purchased tho diamonds and other
stones used in tho construct ion of tho
cell house at tho penitentiary. From
mi item In the Phittsmouth AVnv wo
Infer that tho scheme paid big. Speak
Ingof tho stonoiuen the AYica says:
"They aro crowded with business uud
cannot till more than half their orders.
Over forty iMirs of stono orders wero de
clined by tho tlrin yesterday, which
they wero unable to till".
Pitiful, Indeed, Is tho plight of tho
otllco socking democrats who for tho
past two or three years havo been
salaaming before tho high perched
pedestals of James K. lloyil and W. J.
llryan. Thoy nowllud thumsolvos in tho
plight of tho man who dropped his
Ilammership ticket at liradhury gate.
Thcro is no particular retlectiou
against lloyd and llryan. They aro all
right in tholr way, but thoy do not
weigh much with Mr. Cleveland's ad
ministration. Hut u little while ago
Messrs II. and II. wero tlrst In promin
ence and power, and J. Sterling Mor
ton and Tobias Castor, and Kuolid
Martin wore last. Tho wheel turned
unci now tho last aro tlrst and the tlrst
aro last, and the old prediction is ful
filled. Oua estoomed contemporary, tho Call
wants tho burnt district cleaned out.
It needs tho cleaning out process bad
enough; but what good will it do to
swoop the tilth from ono part of tho
city, and scatter it over tho remainder?
Moving tilth around is not cleansing.
Tho only way to wipe out vice is to wipe
it out. As long as it is licensed and
protected by law it cannot bo seriously
disturbed. And tho respectable people
of this city aro not willing that vico
shall bo disturbed. l'ooplo say
Carter Harrison was elected mayor of
Chicago by tho saloon keepers, tho
gumblors. and tho tough element gen
erally, but thoy aro mlstakon. Ho was
elected by tho so-called respecta
bio business men of the city who knew
that under Harrison things would run
"wldo opon," and who know that vico
spends a dollar where virtue spends a
dlmo, Thoy wanted Harrison because
uudor him ovory thing goes, and that
means good business. And in Lincoln
tho business mou aro quite as shrewd
as tholr brothers in Chicago. They do
not want vico wipod out, because vice
spends nionoy, and it helps tholr bush
noss. So nothing can como of tho
Call's crusado. It is not directed to
tho proper quarter. If our contempor
ary wants to light vico lot it bombard
virtuo,or ut least what passes for vlrtuo
uud induce tho "rospectablo" people of
the city to Insist upon a chango in tho
polloy that now licenses Iniquity In
stead of attempting to wipe It out.
CMOUNHI2 AND C1AMNKAU VS.
NHIIItAHKA.
Tho presence in Lincoln within the
last few days or Hint tiresome cracker
man, Joseph (larucau, Jr., has unco
nioie directed public attention to what
Is Improperly called the Nebraska ev
hlblt at tho world's fair, (larneau's
folly Is what It really is. And tho com
mlsslnucr's visit has not added to tho
glory of his uoik.
Long before (lovornor Crouuso was
called upon to make a now appoint
ment to the post of world's fair com
missioner general, Mr. (laruoau had
made It painfully apparent that while
ho may bo fairly successful in making
or selling crackers, ho is a dlsinal.fallu ro
as tho oigaulor and uiaiiagerofagreat
exhibit.
(laruoau may be and doubtodly Is a
pretty decent sort of man, personally,
and Mill: ConiiKU hasn't a word to say
against him as a private citizen; but
his performances as commissioner,
while drawing a comfortable salary
from tho state, havo been so palpably
discreditable and altogether unsatis
factory, that wo do not hesitate to say
that the cracker man deserves to bo
unceremoniously llrcd, and that, tho
governor merits all the condemnation
ho Is receiving for ro appointing him.
(laruoau Is not only Incompetent
impracticable, lazy, extravagant, and
warped ho Is tiresome. After killing
the Nebraska exhibit ho Is not content
to let the thing remain burled In ob
livion; but he must needs resurrect the
carcass and Haunt it before the people
ho has cheated and disappointed, call
lug attention, through the newspapers,
to tho remains of what might have been
an exhibit that, would have rollected
credit upon tho state. I'.titomhctl In a
building that for iingaluliuess is posi
tvely unrivaled tho world over, tho so-
called exhibit Is a melancholy reiuiii
iscouco of a possibility that might have
boon achieved, tho corpse of a disap
pointed hope, a thing of ridicule for
the public, and a sign hoard of Ne
braska's unprogresslvenoss.iin eloquent
rebuke to (Jovernor Crouuso for his
colossal mistake In going out of his
way to drive the lid on tho collluof tho
Nebraska exhibit by re-appointing
(larucau, after ho had proved his in
competency, uiicti ho might have named
somebody who would at least have
mado an ulfort to put some life into
the thing.
(laruoau was reappointed In spite of
vigorous protests and out spoken op
position, and the only reason why the
governor kept lloyd's appointee in
olllco, was that ho Is an intimate per
sonal friend of son-in-law Hitchcock.
Tho editor of the leading democrat io
newspaper in t lie state indicated his
wish to tho republican governor, and
Ignoring all protests, the son-in-law's
wish was respected.
Mr. (larucau. in an interview pub
lished In Wednesday's Call, said that
the agricultural exhibit, "would be
added to from time to time as crops of
181KI matured." Tho world's fair will
bo substantlallyovor when the crops of
18SK1 mature. It was the intention of
Mr. (larneau's predecessor to havo
nearly every variety of agricultural
product, grown specially for the exhibit
in ISD'J; but Ciarneau drew his salary
and trusted to luck, and now he is
waiting for tho crops to grow while
Seth Mobley is lllllug the holes in the
state exhibit with brilliant promises.
Crouuso and Ciarneau havo cheated
Nebraska out of a most valuable op
portunity. Tho state looses through
them tho Inestimable advantage that
would have accrued from a representa
tive exhibit, such as uliunstnny man of
ordinary business ability might have
prepared.
Lr.zn: McGovkkn, of Omaha, took
three tablespoonsful of Itough on Kats
and at 7 o'clock, Wednesday morning,
slio died, in mental and physical agony.
We know there may bo love in a cot
tage, but wo aro not accustomed to
look for lovo in a miserable hovel
scarcely tit for a dog kennel, such as
Ll.zloMclinvorit called home; but this
young girl, living in squalor and mis
ery, starved by poverty and shamefully
persecuted by her own family, was fair
to look upon, and lovo came into tho
wretched abode. It did not abide, but
it tarried long enough to make Lizzie
a heroine, and then it turned to a bit
terness that caused her to take her own
life.
Tho girl had an elder sister, who,
jealous of Li..io, attempted to throw
a handful of lye into the face of tho
young girl's lover. lint Ll.zlo was
quick, and darting in front of tho in
tended victim, she caught the dread
ful acid in her own face. One eyo
was almost totally destroyed and the
llesh was horribly mangled. Then af
ter a time Lizzie recovered and so
cured employment, to procure clothes
and make herself more agreeable to
"Jim." Hut tho lover for whom sho
had all but sacrlllced hor llfo, turned
from hor, and overcome with despond-
ouoy, sho took poison and diod.
Llzzlo's environment was unlovely
poverty is always ugly. - Her paths
wero by troubled waters, and hor life
was a mlsory. Poets seldom discover
tender sentiment and tragic heroism
amidst bqualor and dirt, and tho sacri
tlco and sutroring of Lizzie McOoveru
will probably not attract the poet and
tho singer; but in that humblo heart
wero tho elements that have made men
and women Immortal. There can bo
no greater sacrifice than hop's. In a
few brief months of her unhappy career
were crowded a lifetime of agony, Tho
girl of seventeen years ran through the
gamut of Joy and sorrow, and fell by
I lie wayside, dying a martyr's death.
Till: question as to whether tho
world's fair shall or shall not bo
opened on Sunday is Hlmplya question
as to whether thousandsof world's fair
visitors shall pass the Sabbath In a
qulo! and orderly inspection of tho
great exhibition, or remain outside tho
gates and spend their time and money
in tho numerous evil resorts that, un
der Carter Harrison's protection, aro
making Chicago worse than Paris.
Sunday opening Is certainly tho lessor
of tho two evils. A large proportion of
the people who are In Chicago on Sun
day wo are referring, of course, to t ho
men will celebrate tho day In some
fashion; they would prefer to go to tho
fair, and there seems to bo no good
reason why tho gates should not bo
open. l'Voin a practical, moral stand
point, Sunday closing, unless ovory
t hing Is closed, Is a great wrong. Why,
in heaven's name, should tho fair bo
closed on the Lord's day, when ovory
sink hole of iniquity in tho city is
running at full blast?
Si.s'ui: James Cordon Henuett sailed
from Now York a few days ago, thorn
have boon many rumors concerning
Tw Herald. Tho fact that Hennett's
name no longer appears on tho editor
ial page Is generally taken as an Indi
cation of a change in tho ownership
and management of tho Herald, and
tho probabilities aro tliat Mackay is in
some way connected with tho now
deal. A contemporary in speaking of
Mr. Honnolt's recent trip to New York
says: "When the imperial Mr Henuett
Heats over tho sea, a gray pall, as dull
and heavy as cold pea soup, settles on
the olllco at the corner of Hroaduay
and Aim streets. With tho advent of
Mr. Henuett In New York the men on
tho Herald begin toloselloshat tho rate
of live pounds a day, and by tho time
ho departs all tho editors that aro still
on duty aro living skeletons. Mr'
ilonnott makes two trips a year to
New York, armed with a long and
sharp axe, ami with a largo silvery
smile lighting his distinguished feat
ures, goes about his establishment, for
several days gayly decapitating those
poor devils that no longer please him.
When ho tluds a man who brushes his
hair in unbeconilngstylo lie knocks his
head oil'. Another that wears a neck
tie of unfashionable hue sutlers the
same fate. And woo betide the man
who lias developed an ability to write
well. If there is one thing that Mr.
Henuett abhors above all else It is ex
cellent writing. Ever since his fat hor's
deatli ho has successfully kept any
thing resembling literary beauty and
brightness of idea out of the Ileralil,
and the man whom he oven suspects of
talent in that direction is disposed of
instantly."
Waiid MoAi.i.isrr.u believes that
woman's attitude should be passive.
He wild in a recent interview: "If a
woman asked me to kiss her I should
decline to do so.' Mr. McAllister lias
not hitherto been look upon as a cruel
man, but tills declaration, if sincere,
shows that ho must have a heart of
stono, to refuse a clamoring woman of
the Sweet Hoou of one simple McAllis
ter kiss.
