President Cleveland, in conse quence of the existence of domestic violence within the territory of Washington, so that the laws of the United States at' Seattle and other points caunot be enforced by ordin ary judicial proceedings, has issued his proclamation warning all persons thus engaged to desist and retire peaceably to their homes; if not complied with, the employment of military to enforce the laws will be resorted to. Mews fttew There are about 42,000,000 cattle on farmB in this country and 10,000, 000 on ranches and ranges. The in crease has been more than threefold in the last ten years. England's business depression is very great ; 700,000 spindles are idle in Lancashire, 40,000 looms are idle, and 16,000 operatives earn nothing. The situation in many other places iB almost as bad. At a meeting of the board of edu cational lands and funds held at Lin coln the other day, the appraisement of the school lands in Keya Paha and Antelope counties were approved and the lands ordered advertised for sale. An order has recently been issued that any distributing clerk in the mailing division of the post-office making twenty-five mistakes in one week shall be rendered liable to dis missal on the grounds of incom petency.

He was accompanied by W. S. Bissell, of Washington. It is stated that he will return to Washington by Wednesday night. Custom officers at Chicago the other day seized 11,000 worth of diamonds found among the effects of a member of a firm of jewelers in Omaha, who had jnBt returned from Europe and was stopping at the Tremont house. From evidence in the possession of the officers it is suspected that some $7,000 more of 6mnggcd goods has been consigned to parties at Omaha. A Colorado man claims' to 'have discovered a device by which he can overcome the laws of gravitation, and he proposes to put his theory to the teat by jumping from a five-story building. His device consists of two electric belts fastened aronnd him in a peculiar manner, which he says will sustain him in mid-air. His lime is Boyd, and be is private sec retary to the governor of the state. .We are in receipt of a circular aigaed by E. M. Coffin and others, .citizen, of Valley Co., who certify - that -they have examined the fee book of A. H. Scbsefer, connty clerk, sad do aot believe the charges made agaiaf t the clerk by D. J. Martz, but that they were manufactured for lectioeeering purposes. As we gave the charge publicity, we gladly do tbt mM for the' opposition, "men 'shm kaow that Scbafer has kept "hie ;tikpt it right" Hf Mere Dedftiag If Mr. Cleveland's policy of "slow and sure," which he has been steadily pursuing with an occasional set-back, has disrupted his party, that result was net made manifest in Tuesday's elections. In his own state the in dorsement of a democratic victory was certainly emphatic enough to suit the moBt fastidious partisan of the administration. In other states which held elections, it is difficult to find any returns which can be con strued into a "rebuke" to the admin istration, or evfdence of democratic disintegration. Unfortunately for re publicans, the democracy appears to be in better health, notwithstanding the dismal pre'dictions of disappoint ed doctors who have failed to secure all they desire from the executive de partment at Washington. While republicans will do well to look the results of the late elections fairly in the face, there is no reason why the disheartened and foeble hearted should be allowed to chant the death knell of the party. There are enough vital issues, if they are only courageously pushed to the front, to divido pnblic sentiment on a win ning platform. The fact that the democracy is entrenching itself is the best reason why the political contest should be made an aggressive one. Dodging issues for fear of los ing votes will no longer be the win ning card. The votes are lost already and can only be regained in a manly contest waged for important princi ples which will attract the support of the honest and influential men of all parties. So long as the republican party was the party of great moral ideas and not an organization to maintain office holders in their seats, it won its victo ries steadily and surely. Its degenera tion began with the close of recon struction. It ought to end with the de fection from its ranks of the place hunters and political barnacles who are now so vigorously swinging their hats for the democracy and the new administration at Washington. What the party needs most to-day is a determination on the part of its rank and file no less than on the part of its leaders to place themselves abreast of the demands of the people for greatly needed reforms. The refusal of the republican administrations in the past to listen to anti-monopoly demand!, and the excellent record which the present administration is making in cleaning out the land-grabbers and bridging the land grant railroads to card, may be recommended to the thonghtful attention of the republican party as food for reflection. Let the republican party once more place itself on a platform of advanced ideas, backed by men whose skirts are free from all taint of political jobbery and it will have more than a fighting chance to regain in the next election what it has lost in that of 1884. O. Bee. The Grand Island Independent is dealing heavy blows against railroad extortions. Naturally enonsrh. it sees little good to the people from the Railroad Commission, whose work, so far, has had no effect what ever in reducing freight rates. Some time ago the Journal expressed the opinion that unless the Commission bronght about a reduction of freight rates, the next legislature would be under the pleasurable necessity of discontinuing their services. It will not do for the board to delay this branch of their arduous duties much longer, either. A mere show of something substantial at the near approach of the session of the next legislature will not deceive the people, who, by that time, will be in no mood for further trifling. Gov.-elect Hill, of New York, was serenaded the other night at Elmira by the Elmira club. la re sponse to calls he appeared and thanked them for having assisted in vindicating him from the charges which had been bronght against him during the campaign. He congratu lated the party upon the fact that New York is a democratic state, and said the result showed that the inde pendent republicans had left .their party aad become penaaaeatly idea tiled with the democratic party. Electlam Geaerml aleawlts. The following contains general re sults of the elections held in several of the states on -the 3d : In New York, Hill (democrat) is elected governor by about 11,000 plurality. The state legislature is re publican on joint ballot by a majority of 36, in a total vote of 160. In New Jersey the republicans have 5 majority In the senate and 4 in the house, making a majority of 9 on joint ballot. In Connecticut the republicans have 12 majority on joint ballot. In Virginia Lee (democrat) is elec ted governor by about 25,00(f major ity. The legislature will be heavily democratic. In Massachusetts, Robinson, (re publican) is re-elected governor by a majority of about 22,000. In Maryland the democratic stato ticket is elected by 30,000 majority. The legislature will be largely democratic. In Pennsylvania, Quay (republican) for state treasurer, the only state office voted on, is elected by about 35,000 majority. All the changes of votes in this state show republican gains. As to Ohio, if the election frauds in Cincinnati shall be corrected, the republicans will have a reliable majority, on joint ballot, in the legis lature. In Iowa, the republicans have been successful, electing their ticket by between 7,000 and 8,000 majority. Her average majority for the last twenty years has only been 28,000. It is said that the state has never gone democratic since it was admitted to the Union. In Nebraska the republican state ticket is elected ; it is claimod in the absence of the official count, to be from 18,000 to 20,000 majority. The story told in this item of news from New Haven, Conn., of the treat ment of Mrs. Caroline Brooks, an 84-year-old widow who had been confined in a room for the past two years, is so full of inhuman treatment that it is difficult to believe the state ment. She was locked in a little room which was filthy in the extreme and filled with a most dreadful stench. The woman was covered with rags and the floor was strewn with bones from which she had picked what meat was given her. On a plate was her single daily meal. It consisted of cold salt mackerel and cold potatoes. Dr. Adams, agent of the Connecticut Humane Society, ' heard of the case and broke into th& hooBe of George Peck, jr., in the ab sence of the family and the old lady was removed to the poor honso. She had a little property in Southingtbn township in trust to take care of her during her life "in order to escape falling into the hands of Peck, who is a distant relative. After making a transfer she was surprised to find that the township had contracted with Peck to take care of her. He did it in the manner indicated. The Utah Commission have cer tainly made some -progress toward the nltimate settlement of the Mor mon question. They say in their re cent report that "the point has been surely reached where no person liv ing in polygamy can vote or hold office. There have been but few polygamous marriages during the past year but arising from the enforcement of present laws and not from any change of sentiment among the Mormons. 83 indictments have been fonnd for polygamy, and 28 convictions, while 43 cases still await trial." To shut off the chief source of supply to the Mormon church- they recommend that settlers be required to take an oath not to practice polygamy. We quote, elswhere, an editorial, from the Omaha Bee, touching the fu ture of the Republican party, which, in very nearly all that it says, is un varnished truth. Had the party last year, in solid good earnest, taken up the railroad question with the vim which assailed the extention of slave ry, fortune might have favored the brave. The railroad problem is a practical one ; a solution of it, in the interest of fair play, is demanded from every store, shop, and farm in the country; people, everywhere, ac knowledge its overwhelming import ance, and would have thrown their influence to the party of progress, in a manly effort to bring to termB the worst evil that has ever afflicted the business of the country. The great body of the republican party desire something to strive for, something to enlist their sympathies. A mere con test between individuals as to who shall have the emoluments of office will not satisfy them. Give us a live issue that of the railroad problem, for instance, and the republican party will be again trusted with the na tional administration of affairs. A cyclone visited Carmi, 111., Sat urday evening. In its course it de stroyed houses, barns and churches and killing Joseph Burrcll and se riously injuring several other per sons.

With the rise in the Kanawha river at Charleston, W. Va.,the other morning, about fifty barges, loaded with coal, were swept away.

The fire was undoubt edly the work of an incendiary. the latest inspection of the re turns of the Hamilton county, Ohio, senatorial case before the circuit court, disclosed some remarkable dis crepancies, during the examination and cross examination of County Clerk Dal ton, which in all probability will result in the election of the en tire republican ticket. A large gas well in Washington Co., Pa., the second in the connty, was struck on the Haston farm near Cannonsburg. Natural gas is being rapidly substituted for coal in Pitts burg.
