Tho dawn of tho now jour unfortu
nately brought with it no relief from
tho world's fair portfolio scourge that
now tttilicts tho city of Lincoln, and
threatens to drive a long sulTering and
misused public to acts of unseemly
violence, and probable general insanity.
TIiIh nuisance, to which wo referred in
mild terms last week, Iiiih not abated its
hectoring and diHturbing tendency one
whit; indeed, it such a thing were
possible, it has assumed moro awful
proportions than before. And matters

It ih alleged that tho reason a petition

appointment ot ,). 1). Calhoun to the
postiiuistersliip, Ih that it Ih desued to
show tho president that theio is no feel
Ing against Major Calhoun in this cit)
on account ot his connection with the
southern cause in tho civil war. This
wiih entirely unnecessary. Nebraska is
not South Carolina. Wo arc not living
in the past and influenced by out-worn
prejudices. The ex-union soldiers in Liu
coin are lo)al, patriotic citizens; and
they extend the right hand of fellow ship
to those who served on tho other side in
tho great coutllct, and Major Calhoun
may rest assured no ill will in felt toward
him for his whilom allegianco to the
south. Hero in Nebraska wo arc living
in the pieseut. The war is over. If
President Cleveland appoints Major
Calhoun poBtmnstor, thcie will bo no
piotest from lopuhllcau e union sol
diers. Hut wo are constrained to sa)
that we do not imagine President Clove
land is in anyway concerned iih to the
attitude of republicans toward Major
Calhoun.
Wk aro Tlisappointed to observe, of
late, a tendency on the part of tho
(topulist evening press, to falter in Hh
criiB.ido fur cheap mouep. Wo trust tho
Call and News have not wavered iu
their policy, because their editorial
emanations on this subject have
furnished about tho only divertisoment
in tho recent and still existing po iod of
unnatural quiet. It bus been a relief to
tarn from tho monotonous cares of
businet-s in a time ot anxloty and much
annoyance, to tho editorial columns of
our evening contemporaries and there
llnd the representation of mental con
tortions and fantastic iucongiiiiticH
that would make a hitching post laugh,
lhero has actually been more reul
humor iu tho llnanciul discussions in
these two papers than thcro is iu Hill
Nye's letters or Dr. Jayne's alinantic,
and wo have become accustomed to
looking for our daily relaxation iu the
columns of these two papers to such mi
extent, that wo sorely miss tho recent
avoidance ot tho subject of free silver by
our umusing contoinjHirurieB. Now
that Dr. Billings has left us and Bishop
Skinner has got becalmed we must
huve some amusement, and wo hope tho
Cull and A'cim will fultlll expectations.
Ouk calm and most conservative
opinion on the result of the Irvine cuse
is that the verdict leudeied in Salt Lake
Lily is uu outiugeou justice aud a most
uuiefuccd inuiuil), indefensible on an)
ground of law or muralit), shocking to
the public sense ot decency, and u
ilugiant evidence ot the fallibility and
weukuvbsof our much vuunted judicial
s)stem.
Somk ver) capable republican ofllciuls
were Ubheied out of ottico in Luucuster

thut the men who tuke their places
will piove to be equally sutistuctor),
