TIIK time for the National Republi
can Convention approaches apace. Next
Tuesday the ball opens , and just how

the name of the nominee at the head of

IT was pretty tough on young' Mr.
English that the first business that
came up. in the House after he was
sworn in , upon which his maiden vote
was to be cast , was a resolution to in
vestigate his papa on a charge that he"
hAd played roots on the House in get
ting the young man in.
L\ view of the tact that this mun
dane sphere harbors a large proportion
of "young bloods' ' who are always look
ing for-"soft places , " on account of a
dislike for honest ! abor.it , is suggested
that that desideratum can generally be
obtained by the y. b.'s aforesaid by re
moving their hats anil running their
dainty hands over the top of their heads.
THE charges of bribery against ' -Old
Bill" English , in connection with his
son's election contest oannot be made to
tick. Mr. KnglWi made promises with
great liberality , but with his well-known
thrift , skipped from Washington before
any of them were liquidated. A good
have since been
many congressmen
anxiously looking for him" for undeliv
ered "goods. " Bee.
DELAWARE is bitten with a reform
in the matter of umbrellas , and the
first attempt she makes indicates the
amount of pent-up indignation that
the reform represents. They caught
a man rcdhanded , with a neighbor's
umbrella protecting his guilty head
from Jupiter Pluvius , and they took
him tn the local cadi for judgment.
This is what the villain got. The costs
of the prosecution , a fine of six dollars ,
one hour in the pillory , twenty lashes
on his bare back at the whipping post ,
and three years in jail. Next time he
steals an umbrella he will proceed with
the utmost circumspection.
THE business men of New York ,
apologizing for seeming to mix in
something thc\r do not understand ,
spoke very emphatically at the great
meeting in Cooper union on Tuesday
evening against a "change. " It is an
idea cherished by a good many suc
cessful business men tolet well
enough alone. " Being satisfied with
the administration of President Ar
thur , they want to give him four more
years at the helm. It was no forced
affair. At an early hour every scat in
the great auditorium was filled and
thousands were turned away at the
door. Journal.
A DISPATCH from New Orleans states
that one hundred men with one field
piece and small arms will go to New
Ibria. to scat Judge Gates , the demo
cratic nominee in the recent election in
the Twenty-first judicial district of j
Louisiana. The grossest frauds were '
perpetrated in the election and even
with their aid. Gates has not been able
to-sustain his contest on any ground
that has th'c appearance of fairness.
The'shite militia has been sent to force
th'c present incumbent to yield , and , of i
course , nothing can be expected except ]
/n. repetition of those methods which are j
notoriously a .part of the creed of the '
democrats of Louisiana. i
THERE 5s one thing that can be said ,
in favor of the western railroads , and .
that is they pay their employes prompt- j <
1 ' each month. This is doing a great' (
deal better than some of the eastern i
railroads. Take , for instance , the New
Jersey Central , the Lehigh , and Sus- ]
quehanna. They have not 3-et paid all i
their men for the month of April , and
some of the roads have not yet paid for
the month of .March. The holding back 1
of the pay of the workingnien mustcer1 1
tainly work great hardship , and cause i
dull times all along these roads. Were ]
the Union Pacific , the B. & 31. , and J
other roads centering here , to pursue i
sia-h a course , Omaha would feel it , i
and times would consequently be very \ ,
dull. The circulation of the money that s
is promptly paid out each nfontli.by our i
railroads helps the local trade wonderfully - t
fully , and pay day is ahvays looked forward - j
ward to with pleasure , as the men know c ;
they will not be disappointed. : Bee. b
there been such a reign of lawlessness
as now prevails. The outrageous state
of affairs is due to the inefficiency of
the police authorities , who have allow
ed the roughs and outlaws to have theii
own way and virtually run the tnwn.
In every city there is a certain per cent-
age of the population made up of the
criminal class , but in Omaha that class
now compose an undue proportion of
the population. The. outlaws are attract
ed here by the fact that they can do
as they please. Hardly a night passes
by withnutsoinconc being robbed on the
street or some private residence or
business house being burglarized. The
erooks operate boldly and without fear.
They must be known to the police who
can easily run them in as suspicious
characters. They can then be driven
out of ( own without difficult } ' . Why
this is not done is one of the things
that we have not yet been able to fin'l
out. ' The city marshal has it in his
power to weed out the crooks , but wo
have long since given up all hope ol
his ever performing his duty. It is
about time the citizens take this matter
under consideration. Let a citizens'
committee be organized for tiie purpose
of making a round-up of the crooks
and forcing them to leave town.

IN his lecture on Mormonism. deliv
ered in Chicago last Sunday , liev. Jos
eph Cook said that an intelligent writer
of Salt Lake City , in a letter which lies
before me , tells this story : A few
years ago an educated journalist came
to Salt Lake City from Europe with his
young wife. Both became sincere be
lievers in Mormonism. Then strong
pressure was brought to bear by the
priesthood upon the husband to force
him into polygamy. The wife , finding
opposition in vain.atlast gave her-nom
inal consent. A second bride was
brought into the house. In a short time
the first wife became a mother , but tlu
infant never cried aloud. It came voice
less into .the world. But it wept in sc
cret all the timo. Sleeping or waking
the tears flowed from its closed eyes ,
and in a few weeks it died. The moth
er said it died of a broken heart. Every
day of its life it shed the tears its moth
er had repressed before its birth. It
weeping face is a symbol of the lace of
Utah. A territory of precious minerals
and wealth of soil , with intoxicating air
and blue sky , but filled with silent woe.
A LonsiANA judge has just covered
himself with notoriety , if not glory , by
a decision worthy of Dogberry. The
manager of a lottery company was on
trial for violating the United States law
forbidding the sending of matter refer
ring to a lottery through the mails. The
statute prohibits such matter "to be sent
through the mails"or , to -deposited
in the post-office to be so sent. " It was
claimed that the defendant only sent
thf objectionable letters and circular ?
from his office to the postoffice that
ho neither sent them through the mails ,
nor deposited in the postoffice to be so
sent. The judge allowed this extraor
dinary plea , saying that the "sending"
forbidden by the statute was clearly the
sending from the postoffice to the desti
nation As the postoffice department
did this and not the defendant , and as
the latter did not himself deposit the
letters , he could not be held. Consequently
quently the indictment was squashed.
THE Omaha Bee of yesterday heads
an article upon its local page "A Big
Hail Humor. " It , follows up by saying
that a rumor was current upon the
streets of that city th.it the C. , B. & Q.
railroad had gobbled up the U. P. road.
There may be some fmind.ition for this.
U. P. stock has been upon the decline
for some time and it is possible that the
C , B. & Q. people have bought up
enough stock at low figures to give it a :
controlling interest. Should this prove
to be a fact it will make considerable
stir in Iowa road circles , and it would
be pns > 'iMe fur the Q. to dictate terms
to all Iowa roads.
FROM tliu appearance of the politica I
horoscope , the contest at Chicago will
be short and decisive. It is a question
if any of the lesser candidates will ap
pear at the first ballot except Sherman
ind Logan , representing sixty votes
norc or less. It is probable that the >
dative strength of Arthur and Blaine i 1
vill be equal- enough to give these | 3
sixty votes a balance of power. But'ii
t is not probable that , they can be held ! -
wgether very long , and there is at'
iresent a likelihood that business will \ \
oumence 'in earnest after the first { ,

UNITED STATES SENATOR COKIJ , of
Texas , has a remarkably powerful voice ,
and it is said that when he was discuss
ing the pleuro-pneumonia bill and got
his throttle valve wide open , the boy-
pages put cotton in their ears and
wedged the window shades to keep
them from rattling and breaking the
glass. At the climax ot his vocifera
tions , Coke announced that he intended
to spnak so that the whole country
would hear him ; and then , as he paus
ed for breath , Beck remarked "Guess
they will , Coke , if thiry're not stone ,

THE decline in stocks continues until
the .smartest of those posted in the spec
ial line of finnncccring arc at a loss to
know wiry. The first few weeks of de
cline is understood as the squeezing
out of the water that was in the stocks.
But now it has gone beyond that. The
best of dividend paying stocks are de
c-lining. The end will be that gambling
in these things , margins-dealing , and
all this speculation on hypothecated
property will cease and we will get
down to bed rock and safety.
MAINE will never hear the last of it.
Pho has enjoyed prohibition for a third
of a century , all her political parties
put it in their platforms every six
months or year ; they have become so
accustomed to the law that no one minds
it , and } -ct here is Sam Carey , of Ohio ,
announcing that he is going to spend
the entire summer in lecturing in that
state on the "necessity of prohibition , "
and has had a tent built for camping
out iu the rural districts that will hold

THE supreme court of Dakota has
reversed the decision of the court below
and affirmed the validity of the capital
removal act which makes Bismarck the
scat of the territorial government. The

the United States. The question at
issue is the power of a legislature of
a territory to delegate its powers to a
committee after its final adjournment.
It was a committee of a legislature that
negotiated the location of the new cap
ital after junketing about the territory
