Special Couiukk Correspondence.--Last winter whon Mr. Cleveland uttered n timely warning against the election of Edward Murphy, Jr., hb United States senator from Now York, muny people accused him of improperly interfering in loenl politics. The democratic state mauhino insisted upon Mr. Murphy'H election, and the subservient members of tlio legislature, with hut few exceptions, obeyed the mandnto of the bosses, and Mr. Murphy was accordingly "branded" as the junior senator from Now York state. How justifiable was Mr. Clove land's warning is now beginning to up ifcur. With his accustomed frankness, it will bo remembered, ho told the demo cratic leaders that Mr. Murphy was not a proper man for United States senator, hut that n man of unusual ability, a man possessing not only a statesmanlike grasp of public affairs, but also the power to advocate his views with tolling effect, should bo chosen to represent Now York in the United States senate. Ho called attention to tho grave issues which woro suro to confront the country in tho halls of legislation, and ho pointed out tho salient fact that Now York, on account of her vast interests, had more at stake than any other state. All this, however, availed nothing. And now what do wo find? Havo Mr. Cleveland's words proved untrue or meaningless in uny respect? Alas, no. Tho country is confronted with a grave crisis. Congress is sitting in extraordinary session to avert a threatened panic. Tho president has recommended wise, prompt action to meet tho situation. Within his own party blatant demagogues uriso to thwart his wlshoB, which havo received tho approval of tho best sentiment of tho country. What is Senator Murphy, of Now York, doing at this critical moment to protect tho interests of his country and state? Has anyono heard from him? Has ho mado himself felt in any. .way, either privately or publicly? Not that anyono knows of. Thus far it docs not appear that tho junior senator from tho great Empire state is nblo to moot in debato oven tho humblest sen ator from tho most insignificant western state. And, as for knowing anything -about tho great question at issue, Mr. Murphy is too good a machino man for that. Why should ho troublo himself to know anything about tho vexed silver question, anyhow? Whon tho proper timo comes ho will voto as tho machine, or Senator Hill, directs him to do. Moreover, ho lids much more important business on hand than this petty silver ' question. His giant brain is now intent upon solving tho momentous question whothor tho stato convention shall meet on tho 15th or tho 22d of Soptember. It is to bo hoped that ho will bo nblo to disposo of this and othor equally pro found problems in timo to bo nblo to bo present when tho important votes are taken in tho somite, if ho shall conde scend to do this wo shall bo deeply grateful, for better oxporionco lias taught us not to expect too much of our liosses. With tho return to Washington of Mrs. Clovelund and most of tho ladies of tho cabinet, the city has uguin ro assumod something of tho life and ani mation necessarily attondunt 'on- tho presence within its walls of tho represen tatives of social-official life, and tho chances uro that thoro will bo, during tho autumn und early winter, an avant euison which will bo a happy inaugura tion of tho conventional gayetics of tho regular "season." Judging by tho ro epoctivo residences now being lcusod by tho various cabinet ofllcers, it would scoui as it tho lattor woro, ono and all, resolved not to bo behindhand in tho quota of entertaining that is generally supposed to bo tho sino qua non of 'an official position, but which is somotimes ingeniously dodged by putting up ut u hotel where hospitality on anything but tho smallest, not to say shabbiest, sculo is completely out of tho question. It soouis, however, that this present ad ministration is to see nothing of that sort of thing, und that tho fortunate ones selected to hold tho reins of this great and prosperous nation for the next four years uro fully alivo to tho responsi bilities ontailod on them by their jkjsI tion, and determined to do their duty in that condition of life to which it has I pleased a kind providence to call them. , Speaking of ontortnining leads ono to wondor what part tho nowly-urrivod Chinese minister will play in tho festi vities of tho coining season. Tho old Stowart mansion was, during tho regime of Tslu Kwo Yin, who sails for his native horcsMn a few davs. tho Bcono of mimv .-. . - ; mmmm&mmmmmrk -MMmMUimikA A, a merrymaking, which, for sundry reasons, will live long In tho memory of both host und guests; but it is an inter esting question whether or no tho pres ent incumbent of tho office will, in view of tho startling experiences of his pre decessor, have courage to facotho duties of hospitality in tho midst of a society, tho members of which abused tho privi leges of guests to tho oxtont gone to at two or three memorable affairs given at tho ChlncHo'lcgntinn within the past few years, and who, on tho occasions re ferred to, so shocked by their uncon ventional, to say tho least of it, behavior tho iMKir, ignorant "heathen Chinee," that ho tied in dismay to tho privacy of his own apartments, not venturing forth till tho revelers had one and all cleared Dupont circle in a slate of mind and body which bailies description, tho eon Bequeneo of tho orgies of und in which they had been tho lively inuugurutors und participants. . Tho advent of Buby Ruth's sister 1b still an interesting topic of conversation, and judging from some of tho remarks mnilo one would judgo that girls are of very little account in this world. If Q rover Cleveland were king with nn en tailed throne, thoro could bo no greater anxiety for a undo successor than has been manifested uncut tho second birth in tho Cleveland family. Thorn who come in closo contact with tho president say that ho makes no apparent effort to conceal his disappointment. It is pre sumed that both ho and Mrs. Clovelund are now addressing themselves to tho task of extracting comfort from hope of the future. Cleveland is u man not easily discouraged. Tho latest information as to tho stato of health of tho president is not re assuring. It was suid that his recovery was complete after tho recent operation; but it Ib no Becrot that Mr. Cleveland is In a sorious condition, and thoro are many who confidently beiievo that ho will not livo to serve out his term. All of which brings Vice-President Steven son to tho front. Mr. Stovcnson is not popular among democrats, and his suc cession to tho presidency would bo par ticularly distasteful to muny of tho most influential members oflho purty. My very warmest sympathy is called forth by tho sad plight of a handsome young Washington widow who lias re cently been bereaved not only of the fond spouse of her affections, with whom her married life hud been a particularly happy und luxurious ono, but at tho sumo timo of tho visible means of sup port sho hud ovory reason to suppose would bo hers on tho domiso of her liego lord, tho post mortem examination into tho affuirs of tho latter showing them to bo in a stnto of utter collapse. Our widow buoyed herself up with tho thought that, as "dear Jack's" llfo wiib insured for 850,000, thero was still room for consolation in tho reflection that, ufter ull, things woro not us bud us thoy might bo. What was her horror, how over, to ilnd, on applying for tho money to tho compuny, that tho insurance hud been nindo out In fuvor of an old sweet heart of Jack's, und that tho hitter hud left his legal wife out of tho reckoning altogether. Tho pretty widow, accord ing to lust reports, wus still very much exasperated, und was severely roforring to her deceased husband as "Mr. ." Sho has been heard to remark, more over, "that tho funeral oxponses, such as they lire, will como out of thai insur unco money, und that if tho idiot over sees a tombstono over his stupid heud it will not havo been put thoro by his wife."

An Attractive Inhibit. This week ut tho fuir were seen at tho booth of tho Western Normal collego in mercantile hull a Japuneso adding mil chlno, .operated by a Jupunoso student now uttoniiing tho Western Norma') col lege, U. S. Ohwu, from Osaka, Jupan. Tho Jnpaneso havo no characters repro sonting numbers, und uro obliged to uso words, henco tho common work in urith metic would be very slow but for this simple and ingenious contrivuncc. Mr. Ohwu bundles figures witli remarkable skill and ho uttruoted lurgo crowds. B That advertising is an art, and an art of no mean order, has been conspicuously exemplified within tho past few weeks by A. Koch-Andriuno, who up to a few months ago was advertising manager for tho Mien, Mr. Andriano lias of lato had charge of the advertising for Kd (J. Yates, Fruwloy, Chidester & Co., tho A. M. Davis Co., und other firms, und lie has succeeded in a remarkably short space of timo in causing such a rattling among tho dry bones of Lincoln's not too enterprising advertisers as has never before taken place. Advertising Iiub been his special study, and all those who havo watched his work can testify that ho thoroughly understands his business. Mr. Yates is about concluding a sale, which running through tho dullest mouths of tho year, und ut a time, too, when It bus been a very difficult matter to sell anything, has been singularly successful, duo in a great measure to tho skillful advertising methods of Mr. Andriano. In lust Sunday's Journal and Call appeared u somewhat striking evidence of Mr. Andriiiuo's fruitfulness and originality, in tho form of u'n advertise ment of the clothing firm of Fruwley, Chidester & Co. This wiib in muny re spects tho best display "ad" seen in Lin coln in a long time, both in form and substance. Nearly everybody noticed that great cross occupying an entire page with square blocks of reading matter with such heads as "A Dark Subject," "A Dead Man," "Your Private Opinion," "Tho Old Story." The sub ject of the advertisement, clothing, is very neutly brought out under tho titlo "A Durk Subject," us follows: "A dark subject is seldom welcome and never pleasant. Nevertheless it has an irresistible attraction for tho average human mind. Thero is something revolting, even disgusting in tho history of some dark deed, and yet it holds a fascination, tho explanation for which", can only laTfouud in that son so of morbid curiosity, that longing for tho extruordinury, which controls the minds of most peoplo to u greuter or less degree. Hut tho durk subject wo huvo in mind is less pleasant than ludicrous, You will lind him ,ut tho world's fuir. Ho comes from tiio South Sea islands. His principal rai ment consists of a cloth around his waist und a ring in his nose. Ho wears no pants, ho weurs no coat or shirt, hat or shoes, und wo huvo often wondered whether Unit happy, independent I don't give a d expression, which Bticks out of his face, is born of an independence from clothiorB. Wo think not. Ho would wear clothes if ho know how to reud und could see our advertisement us you do." Tho pupors on the sumo day also con tained unique "uds" of tho A. M. Duvis Co., from tho sumo pen, Mr. Andriuno's "Notico to Depositors" ad in hist week'B CouuiK.it, und idso in tho A'eies, was u clever idou, making uso of tho keen in terest now felt in all matters relating to finance und tho bunks, in u tolling manner. Tho death of David Nowmun reculls tho fact thut ho wus tho lirBt mun to erect a brick block for his own business purposes in this city. David Nowmun cumo to Lincoln in 1871, from Wiscon sin. Tho lumber used in his building ho brought direct from Wisconsin, all suwed und fitted, reudy for ubo in con struction. And tho formal opening of tho Nowmun dry goods store wus un event in th.B city. Big stores wero not opened ovory two or three months in those duys. Thero woro big preparations iu tho way of illumination, decorations, etc., und ovorybody in Lincoln visited tho Btoro. Mr, Nowiiiuii'h mercantile cureor was conspicuous for tho un swerving integrity which wus over u characteristic of Mr. Nowmun. Ho wiib n merchant and a citizen of tho highest possible standing. Moreover, ho wus u gontlomun, of tho old school, if you pleuso, who was ulwuyB courteous, even under trying circuinstunces. It wuh his good fortune to receive tho respect which his high character deserved.

Nnmcthlng Kxrlllni; In the Kicking I.lun ' In Ntoro for Lincoln IVoilt'. The modern crazo for sensational duueing und kicking that pervades tho country has had its effect on all classes of jthentricals, including minstrelsy. Cleveland's minstrels, who como to Lin- cola next Thursday matinee und oven- ingj-will huvo with tuciil five French girl who give a most startling exhibi tion. Tho coniniinv is now t uvinir an engagement ut tho Coutcs opera house, It nMmin fata !

Tho live French middens, to tho music of a quadrille, gnvo an ex hibition of kickinir that has called down on th'olr heads tho mingled oxecrutions and applause of thousands. Such kick ing has nover been seen since tho taking away of tho old pest house that used to worry tho West Enders. Thoy kicked imuginiiry Hies off their enrB with tho tips of thoir dainty slippers, and whon they all started out at onco it resembled a clothes lino full of white garments fluttering in u northeast calo. When ono of-tho young women desired to stop kicking for nn instant, she would not put both foot on the ground and rest like an ordinary mortal, bit would grasp an auklo in one hnnd'.and hold it at an aititudo of 160 degrees, whilo sho meditatively brushed hor bangs with the toe of her slipper and waited for tho othniB to finish their act. Tim culmi nating part or their performance is, howevor, 'the split,' which can better bo illustrated by an instantuneoua photo graph than by cold type; Four of the joung women arrange thomselvesin a re clining position on tho floor, and tho fifth leaps over them, allghtiiig iu a position that leavos tho foot .pointed iu opjiosito points of tho compass." Ill II It never ought to bo necessary for tho Young Men's Hcpublleun club to follow such a course as that adopted at tho somewhat stormy meeting Monday night. It Is humiliating in the extreme for an organization like the Young Men's Hepubllcan club, numbering nearly 100 members, and embracing in lis member ship some of (ho most active republicans in tho city, to usk tho parly or the can dldates to make a certain number of its niembeis delegates to tho county con vention. The whole idea Is wrong. Tho elubhas rendered sufllclonl Hervlce to the party to entitle It to representation in all conventions, and thero Is no reason fo suppose that thero is any desire on tho part of thu older lepublleaus to shut ino young menoiit. Tho meinberp from tho Sixth ward were undoubtedly right. They refused to ask for dolcguti'H. In that ward tho young men uro In tho front anyway. They take an uctlvo in terest in politics, are present at tho primaries, and they uro always well rep. resented iu tho caucuses and conven tions, and that Is tho proper way. ,lf tho members of tho Young Men's ltopub llcun club from other wards will got out and hustle iu jMilltles us they ought to, it will not bo necessary for tho club to humbly ask for representation. Let them hustle llkeOeorgo Woods and Paul Clark in the Sixth, and thero will be no troublo about getting there. No sensi bio candidate will slight tho republican club in this or future campaigns. It is a too considerable factor to bo Ignored. Tho failuro of Judgo Maxwell to so euro his own county delegation takeH that gentleman out of tho race for tho nomination for justice of tho supremo court, ulthouirh there will umlmilitnillv bo people in tho state convention foolish enougu to insist on trying to force a Muxwell nomination.

" . . 11 nuum uu nuvcnii strong cunuiouiCB oo foro tho convention. Thero uro signs of a movement in tho direction of Judge M. L. Huywurd. of Nebraska Citv. A considerable element of tho purty, an eloment that alwajs mukes itself felt, is fuvorublo to Huywurd. Thero scorns to bo u goncrul desire to nominate a strong man, and republicans uro disposed to lie very confident of huccchb this full. Hoi- comb, tho independent nominee, is gen orally conceded to bo a good mun, but ho is littlo known, und it is. not believed thut ho will make a particularly iutltos- sivo cunvitss. Tho is no nrosocet of fusion between tho democrats und inde pendents, now, und if tho republicuns put up a good mun ho will ho elected. v Frlck, for supremo judgo will probably havo tho BupjHirt of u lurgo portion of tho lower Elkhorn valley, while in tho north, Judgo 'Kinkuld, of Holt county, will huvo some strength. Hull county will, it is understood, present tho name of Judgo Abbott. Muny republicuns uro earnestly in fuvor of the nomination of Henry Ksta brook, of Omaha, for regent of tho uni versity to succeed himself. Estubrook is ono of tho most gifted tioliticul speakers in tho west, und it is thought that if nominated ho could bo induced to unreel a fow of his stem winders. Tho stato central committee will bo ro-organized whon tho republican state convention moots in this city next month. A. B. duly, of St. Paul, tho present chairman, whose efforts, com bined with those of Socretury Tom Cooko, wero so lurgely instrumental in saving Nebraska lust Novonibor, is not an active candidate for re-election; but Mr. duly has muny warm friends who will doubtless insist on his ro-oJection. Ho is undoubtedly ono of tho most efficient chairmen tho committee has had in recent cars. There's any amouut'of fun in store for tho democrats. Tho county convention is only u fow dnjs off; but littlo or noth ing is heard of tho county ticket. There is ono subject, however, that is agitating tho democratic mind, and that Is tho Bryan question, and hero is the lock on which something is going to burst, 'ihero will bo such u scran as only democrats can put up. Mr. Hi van a numbers want to pass a reso lution endorsing his course in congress, His opponents don't want anything of the kind, and they don't proi-oso to havo it, and thero's wheio tho fun will come iu.
