THE FAMOUS
Personally , President Cleveland is
even more unpopular with his party
than John Quiucy Adams had been ,
while Jacking the abilit } ' , broad knowl
edge of public affairs and the robust
honesty which won Adams the respect
even of his political foes. Not a single
one of the 5 000.000 men who will east
their ballots lor the democratic nation
al ticket on November G will put crape
on his hat if Cleveland is defeated.
Canada has gained another Ameri
can defaulter , the city treasurer of
Cleveland , O. , Thomas Axworthy , hav
ing fled to the dominion , leaving the
city poorer by half a million dollars , two
hundred thousand of which he is believ
ed to have taken with him. Axworttn'
was a democratic politician of great lo
cal popularity , and had been a very sue
cessfui business man. lie had been re
elected to the office of city treasurer
five or six times , and there was si ver\
general feeling of confidence in his in
tegrity. It will doubtless be discovered
tnat ho has been making free use of the
city's money m losing speculations.
We are asked for the hnndreth tune
to state whether the most votes were
cast for Blaine or Cleveland , and we
answer again that the most votes were
cast for BlaiitOj but not emitted for
him. There were 35.000 votes cast for
him in Georgia that were not counted ,
and 30,000 in Alabama , and 30.000 in
Louisiana , and 48.000 in Mississippi ,
and 50,000 in South Carolina. There
was also 50,000 republican majority
suppressed in Dakota. There were
fully a quarter of a million of Blaine
votes not counted and suppressed by
the democrats in the states we have
na ' tued. On a full election and with a
fair count the national republican party
constitutes a large popular majority of
the American people and can carry two-
thirds of all the states.

A Battle of Batteries.
t'he game of ball played here , last Friday
afternoon.betweeir'Tlie Famous" and "Arap-
ahoes" was in every respect the best game
ever played in this city , in which the home
club vanquished the visiting brethren of tlie
"willow and .sphere" in a score of 4 to 8. It
is claimed that the J. J. Hardin battery , of
the champion amateur club of the stale , from
Omaha , performed the battery work for the
Arapahues : but all to no avail , tlie home
club winning through the effective work of
Ball in tlie box , supported by Albert Kennedy
behind the b.it , aud by the home rims scored
by Kennedy aud Ball. This makes the fifth
de.leat Arapahoe has suffered at the hands of
Tlie Famous and they are perhaps convinced
of the fact that our boys are too much for
them by this time. The Famous club stands
in the front ranks of the amateur teams of
Nebraska.

THI * rilACTIOAr. LIMIT OF SPEED.
The highest speed practically attainable in
daily Eervice with passenger trains liasalwajs
hfcn a point on which much discussion has
been raised. The recent race between London
and Edinburgh seems , however , to afford a
tolerably complete solution of tlie problem.
Tho official figures , giving the actual time and
load for each day of tho run , when • • nalyzed.
give the followingaverageresultsforthe Lon
don and Northwestern route from Aug. 0 to
Aug.31. inciu ive. During this time the sched
ule time was 8 hours for the 400 miles , and the
train arrived in Edinburg aliearl of schedule
tine on * J3 da ) s and was 27 minutes late on one
day only , owing to a line on the locomotive
collapsiiiWith this exception , the running
whs remarkably regular , tlte trains arrivinsj
with ! * ] 3 minute forllduys in succession. The
average speed for the whole period was a
fraction over jOnilcper hour ineiudingstop = ,
and slightly under 55 miles per hour excluding
stops. The average limn occupied in the three
stops was 10 minutes , one stop being for din
ner. The train consisted of four eight wheel
cars , with Web' * s radiating axles. The cars
were each 42 feet long over bodies and weighed
42.5J0 pounds each. Three different elates of
engines , weighing respectively 01.000. 7i5.00 > ' .
and 94.000 pounds in working order , were em
ployed on different portions of the route , the
lightest engine running over the lightest
grades. The minimum weight of engine , ten
der and train was 2S7 000 pounds and the raaxi
mum 333.000 , the average being 305 000 uounds
Tlie grades varied considerably , tlie worst tie
ing one 0 ! ; miles long averaging 67 feet per
mile , and another 4l < miles long of 70 feet per
mile. The best performance over the section
containing the former grade was 101 miles in
104 minutes ( which was done on three occa
sions ) , and over the latter 00 miles in 00 min
utes , in both cases from start tost p. or 14
minutes under schedule time. The feat ap
pears to have been so easily performed that on
the Northwestern it was not considered neces
sary to employ compound engines , nnd the
fast running was done with comparativel\old
engines of far less weight and power than the
compounds , which were res-erred for the heav
ier trains. These facts merelemphasize what
has repeatedly been urged in these colums
the Importance of "good signals , which aid fust
running fur more effectually than heavy en
gines. It will thus be seen that with a Pglit
train , stoppages nvcruging 1C0 miles apart ,
good permanent way , and somewhat severe
grades on the northern portion oftlie journey ,
si speed of 50 miles per hour , iiicludinsr stops ,
• was maintained with cuso This certain ! } * marks
u considerable advance on previous practice ,
and shows thut where suliicient inducement
. offers , modern railroad appliances are capable
i of approaching very closely to the apparent
i limit of a mile a mluute. Kail road Gazette.

upon the states and territories wherr

According to the Chicago Tribune yl
IJarnttin and Iirice have bet n putting Jj
their heads together to manufacture an- , t |
other Burclitird affair for Harrison'a -J
benefit. The plan was to tret a demo,1
eratic confederate to visit Harrison un- -I
tier the assumed inline of a leading re- ' . I
publican in a remote district , an tho I
head of pome sort of delegation , and i I
make a speech to him. The Hurchard I
ism was to be introduced in some parts. I
of the speech and be spoken in so I
Humbling a manner that Harrison nnd I
the audience could not catch tho point , I
but a prepared aud disguised demo * I
eratic stenographer would stand at hin I
elbow aud take it down. Then it !
would be sent out on the wings of the I
lightning to every newspaper in the I
land , and as it was to be done about I
the last thing before the election no I
time would be had to deny or explain. I
But the scheme was spotted , as also
was the man selected , who had already I
started for Indiana , and his reward will
be sudden death , for he will be watch- I
ed mi his whole route and removed from H
the earth in time to knock out tiie
scheme. fl
Edwaud Atkinson , the Boston eenn- I
omist. announces that a New England H
genius has accidentally discovered a com- H
iiination ol zinc aud hydrogen which ho H
calls "zinc water * ' that will render many H
sorts of wood absolutely incombustible , H
that arc treated with it. The process H
is cheap and Mr. Atkinson declares that M
it is going to revolutionize building and |
insurance Sir Lyon I"la\fair is the M
only fn'cincr who has been let into the JB
secret , lie is a distinguished chemist M
and he corroborates all that the inventor |
claims for it He s a\s the New Eug- M
lander is -blundering cbemi-t but he M
has blundered into the choicest secret fl
of nature ' s laboratory. " As soon as M
patents are perfected and capital iut-r- M
e.-ted "zinc water" will become an ar- fl
tide of commerce and we can be"iu to M

An old lady bought a canary bird M
warranted to sing at all hours of the H
d-ty and m-rht , carried him home and |
named him "Grover. " Grover , how- |
ever , did not sing , would not even twit- H
tor. After waiting a long time for M
G rover ' s song , one morning the lady's M
maid rushed into the old woman ' s room H
in a state of ureat excitement. The H
old lady breathlessly iu qui redHas |
Grover sung ? " ' "No , Grover has not H
sung any song , " required the maid. H
• • Has my sweet Grover twittered ? " |
"No , " said the maid , ' 'Grover has not |
even twittered a twitter , but Grover H
has laid an egg. " The old lady ex- H
claimed in --Well H
disgustWell you cart ,
never tell what a democrat is going to H
do next. " H
The territorial governors have made H
their annual reports. So far the gov- H
eruors of Dakota , Idaho and New Mex- H
ico have been heard from. The re- H
ports give glowing accounts of the in- H
crease of population and wealth of the j H
several territories. The last year has H
been one of great prosperity to the west , IH I
aud it is gratifying to learn that the 1
territories keep abreast with the states H
in progress. It can be but a few short M
years at the most when all the territor- H
ies will Lc admitted to the tiii rights |
of statehood , now denied to several on M
partisan grounds. M
Senator Allison having returned H
to Iowa , the republican campaign in M
that state may be expected to assume H
increased activity. It is already quite H
lively , with every indication that the • * " Hfl
party has been steadily gaining ground , i H
but Senator Allison wiil give a decided H
impetus to the forward movement and H
his efforts ought to count for a large H
number of votes drawn from the oppo- H
sitiou. It is understood that he will en- H
tor the campaign at ones and will con- H
fine his political labors to Iowa , H
The Sexr York Herald estimates tho M
republican majority in Saw York "north H
oi the Hariem river ' at 70,000. This H
is iov. - but democratic H
a estimate , a pa-
per will estimate a republiciu majority |
on the inside every time. Put it at H
80.0UO and we begin to see what an H
immense job the repeaters and regi-ter- H
id dead men have on their hands to H
carry the state in the city of New York H
and Brooklyn against these odds. |

clear its skirts of any imputation that j H
it took a hand in the " mem little trick H

What General Harrison did really H
say about workir.gmeu ' s wages was this : H
"No man ' s wages should be so low that H
