Hon. E. Rosewater seems to be pil
ing up considerable grief for the Om
aha Fire and Police commission. In
his paper this morning he prints an
open letter citing violations of the li
quor and gambling laws and givs the
names of the violators. Anyone at all
acquainted with Omaha knows that
Rosewater is right in his light. That
the law is violated every day in the
metropolis and, apparently, with po
lice connivance is a patent tact. In
case3 where Rosewater hied protests
auainst the issuance of licenses there
is no doubt as to the violation and the
peculiar actions of the boaid in dis
missing the cases are open to reasona
ble suspicion. Omaha seems to be

Queen Victoria has addressed Abdul

the spring electiou are a little reserved
this year. Here it is only two mouths

eight candidates for treasurer. This
is a strange condition .ofjaffairs and

Did you ever consider the very it.-m
amount of advice a person receives
when he is blue, discouraged and sick?
People who could give one substantial
aid will waste time in explaining their
methods of overcoming trouble entire
ly obvious of the fact that a start in
the right direction is all that is needed
in nine cases out of ten. Most men
can give advice, because jt is cheap,
but let them have something substan
tial to give and it invariably trues to
he who has of this worlo's goods a
plenty. Why this is I am unable to
discern, but it t-j f .it. This same
policy is responsible for a whole hie

This is what an old bachelor friend

This arogant money power, blinded
by selfishness and pride of wealth, will
do well not to force the issue. For if
the issue is joined the end is sure.
The people, will triumph. And if it
should seem to the people, the millions
of Now England and he MiddleSlates,
the tens of millions of the already pas
sionaty indignant South and the great
West, that the inevitable alternative
forced upon them by this ring is either
government by secret Wall street syn
dicates or free silver. The American
people will never consent to the virtual
government by Wall street. And
there are tens of thousands of honest
sound-money men who, when compelled
to choose b.-t ween the two evils, will,
however reluctantly, rather submit to
free silver.
In the Washington correspondence
of the New York W. rid James Creel
man says tlt President Cleveland is
strongly tempted to keep hands oft' of
the financial problem and leave eon
cress to meet the emergency r not
just as it pleases. Indeed, it is reported
that the administration would take
this course "and let the crash come,
just as an object lesson to both parties,
but for the appaliug consequences to
the country." ow, accordimg to our
view of the situation, Mr. Cleveland
could not do a more popular thing.
We believe the people are ripe for the
crash, in s far as a return to the full
use of silver in conjunction with gold
would involve a crash. The country
at large is ready for the experiment.
If put to a popular vote tomorrow
whether thereshould be a aleof $200,
OOO.OiV) of bonds to Pierpont Morgan or
let the silver korash"come. there would
be an overwhelming n-ajority who
would say "Jet her crash." When it
comes to lieiu ; sl.uvly squeezed to
death in a vice like grip of the money
sharks, or take our chances in the al
leged crash that would follow the res
toration of silver to its rightful place
in the finances of the country, the peo
ple prefer the crash every time. They
have tried the president's bond issuing
remedy to their heart's content. They
have enough of it. Augusta Chron
icle.
A DiCMOPUATiC administration which
will issue bonds in times of peace is
unworthy the support of democrats,
because such a course is repugnant to
democratic policy and tradition. Presi
dent Cleveland has had the hearty sup
port of all democrats in all his efforts
along democratic lines. He has been
repudiated and deserted by his party
only when he abandoned our party
paths and disgraced us by leading us
into republican ruts. Papillion Times.
A man in business who does not ad

trade. He gets it because he goes
after it, and uses printers ink freely.
How to Itrth.
Cultivate the habit of breathing
through the nose and taking deep
breath3. If this habit was universal,
there is little doubt that pulmonary
affections would be decreased one-half.

piration will keep the entire body in a
glow in the coldest weather, no matter
how thinly one may be clad. He was

The New WhUt.
As German whist bids fair to be
come the popular game for this sea
son's entertainments, probably a few
words of explanation would not be out
of place. Four hands are played at
each table. Of course, some knowl
edge concerning the game of whist is
necessary, as regujar whist is played
the first four hands. Then the players
having the higher or lowerscore (which
ever the hostess may decide) move to
the next table, where the dealer or
partner makes the trump from his
hand, and then each have a deal, mov
ing as before to the next table.
The third hand or set of hands,
which is "without trump," the highest
card takes the trick. The "reject"
hand resembles the game of hearts
and the object is to make the oppon
ent take the tricks and throw away all
the high cards.
The last, called "blind" and prob
ably most amusing, set of bands is
played without seeing the faces of the
cards, and always causes much merri-!
raent.
German whist is specially adapted
to companies where "a general good
time is desired, and does not. require
the serious thinking and scientific
playing requisite in regular whist.
