THE country will be relieved to learn that the illness of Mr. Elaine is not so serious as reported by the dispatches. The chronic dis position to exaggerate the ailments of this illustrious American is certainly not uncomplimentary. It reveals at least the measure of popular concern of which' he is the center. "With his retirement from politics Mr. Elaine has not suffered any diminution of his his toric stature. His seclusion has rather increased the popular af fection with which he is regarded. The hope that his life may be spared for many years to come is sincere and general. A useful and inviting field opens up before him in the line of literary work which the public has a selfish de sire to see him cultivate. POLITICAL excitement in "Wyom ing is not yet over , but the indi cations are that the republicans will defeat the deliberately planned attempt to steal the legislature from them and with it a United States senator. The latest information mation is that the republicans will have six. majority in the senate , and as the opposition can count only one majority in the lower house , Wyoming will con tinue to be represented in the United States senate , after March 4 : next , by two republicans. It has rarely happened that a more desperate effort to steal a legisla ture was made than that planned by the democrats and populists of Wyoming , and its defeat is to be welcomed as in the interest of fair politics. The republicans of the state are to be congratulated upon having made a courageous and honorable fight for their rights. Bee. IT is by no means impossible that in his struggle with the spoils politicians of his party Mr. Cleve land will be compelled distinctly to choose between the favor of the party machines , bosses , and pat- t. ronage mongers and the retention with the democracy of those patri otic and enlightened elements which recently joined it and gave it its present strength. We trust that in such an emergency Mr. Cleveland's decision will be prompt and uncompromising. His first administration has given him some valuable experiences. He will not forget that his second and last ad ministration will submit his pub lic career to the judgment of history - tory without appeal , and that it will depend upon his firmness in the right whether or not that judgment will place him among the greatest in line of American presidents. WELL , the earth is still on deck. The sun and the moon and this fair planet of ours will continue to do business at the old stand. The discussion of the Baconian theory will go on ; there will be a senator to elect in Kansas ; Congressman- elect Blair will introduce a new educational bill in the next con gress ; Colonel Elliott F. Shepard will keep up the irrepressible con flict about Sunday opening ; "Budy" Kipling will renew his warfare upon the social barbari ties of America ; John Sullivan will lag superfluous on the stage ; Ward McAllister and J. Suffren Taylor will shortly burst upon the public view rehabilitated for the winter campaign in Gotham and Bider Haggard and Amelie Bives will continue to write books. There is something appalling in the thought of the wreck of the planets and the crash of the worlds , but there are awful and solemn respon sibilities attaching to life and the eternity of matter. AN important meeting of Ne braska financiers is to be held in this city on Tuesday and Wednes day , Dec. 20 and 21 , when the Nebraska state bankers' associa tion will hold its annual conven tion. The call which has just been issued specifies that all banks and bankers and trust companies doing business in Nebraska are entitled to send delegates to this meeting.

LAYCOCK , PROPRIETOR , A SPLENDID triumph for human- itand Christianity has teen scored at Atlanta , although , as will be seen in the incident , Christianity broke unmercifully before it reached the homestretch. A woman from New Orleans , backed by local philanthropists , endeavored to establish a home for unfortunate women. A house op posite the Baptist church was secured and the home opened , whereupon the entire Baptist con gregation , headed by Mr. John "Wesley save the mark protest ed and tried to have the place closed by ( courts. Other resources failing a womanof the streets was hired to go to the matron of the home and apply for admission. The woman broke down in the presence of the kindly Matron and divulged her errand. The entire town of Atlanta has been aroused at the injustice and a five acre tract has been purchased by phil anthropic citizens where a hand some home is being erected. ALABAMA objects to Pinkertons and her legislature has a bill be fore it prohibiting their use. A bill to insure honest elections in that state is also badly needed just now. THE telegraph this morning an nounces the death of Jay Gould at 9:15 STOP this talk about pensions and consider the immense amount of the people's land given to the great corporations since the war. Until the justly forfeited land grants are restored to the people , eastern plutocrats should remain silent concerning large pension appropriations. PBOFESSOBS of wisdom in American colleges are fain to con fess that their education , so far as it refers to comets , has been sadly neglected. THE democrats will have a clear majority in both houses of the next congress. CURTIS & BATES For a Clean Shave or = An Artistic Hair Cut. REAR OF CITIZENS BANK. EDWARD B.
