Mr. Loene ws not a pohnci'ii , but he was a good republi cs CUed by the gonmal voice of Ills psrty to be R candidate for a icspoi si- bla fficc of puolio trust , it was hs mis fortune , first , that hewas A gcod , sOaSB , lojal republican : second , that ho s "a capit&lSa * ; " third , that he iras "aa employer , " to tha extsnt thit ho gave remunerative employment to rcoraa of heads-of families ; fourth , tha * bo was "a monopolist , " in that cie f his establishments was the only establ'sQmrnt of this class in the state Mid this section of the west. These thiiirs were his misfortune , not only , tH > r wore eBtomed his fault. For the decree had long since gone forth tli u i.o ' capitalist , " no "employer" on a larf.esci'h , no "monopolist" must have tha hardihood to consent to be a candidate for any pubic office at the hands ol the repub lican p irty. Mr. Locke had the bold neio nd bsd taste to consent to be a republics ! ! candidate. Forthwith Jlr Locke is denounced in ' 'the re publican" BEE as a miscreant and pub- -itr > . enemy. Ho is denounced as au uttcier of falsehoods. Heis denounced r.n perjurer. No epithet is too bru- 1.1 mi too vile fora "republican" Bii < > t to apply to tl.is good rupablicsn , this hnneit buBine s man , this public bpirit d citizsn.Republican. [ . Tiis is r. tissue of falsehoods. Thin pcp r never denounced Mr. LOCKO nt a nvEcreant , public entiny or perjurer. Not one word assailing tin persona' character or integrity of Mr. Locke ha : ever appeared in this paper. On the contrary , Mr. Locke himself ncknowl cged tha generous treatment cf tin BUB in its comments on the varioui nominees cf thoU. P. republican cjn vention. The only thing Mr. Locki took exceptron to is the publication o the report about tha proposed imports tion of coolies to bnil4 the Omha wate voiks ; on this point wa repeat now tiiatwo had good reason to bellevi Ihst such'a scheme Vr on foot , and our views ou that subjec have vundergone no change. Th plicjiril posted on our streets on tbj ova itf election did not nnil any lie The affidavit of the officers of th ' 'A'ater Works company simi ly nsjert ed , tstt.ficy ? had r.o deelgn to impor Chinese. The card of the COR- tnictor declarinj ; thnt ho ha < -intention to employ Chines labor was not sworn to , but even i it had been , it would not disprove tha sych was originally the eclicme. Cool : ? 3 hava been imported into Mas siuhnsotta factories , they are employee oo by the Union Pacific in the Wyom in ? Coal mines. What would proven the importation into Omaha except thi fear of trouble with the workingmei , "Under the placards that pronounced ihe proposed importation uf 301 a Hcj was posted a call for 301 laborers to work on tVto wale i , but when the laborers at the water works office they wer told that thi'y were not wanted Th.it advertisement for tlire hundred laborers was a sham a titera bait to draw votea for Mr Locke. And now a word about Mr. Locke' cliims to a scat in tha legislature Mr. Locke came to Oinah t > invest money on an enterprise that he believed would pa ; well. He has been eminently sue cesjful nnd we are glad of it. Hi ivee employment to a Jarge numbe : of men , almost , but not quite a many , us are employed by the proprietors tors of THE BEE. Wo cheerfully ac c > rd him credit for that , and we hav given him as muca encouragement ii his effort to build up our manufacture as wo have to any othe man engaged in such enterprises , Hut the more fact that 1 o has invoite < capiul in Omaha and given employ inuit to laboring men does not , in ou opinion , remove hi * disabilities to represent this-county in the logisla iure. iure.Oic Oic position at the outset has been ihat no man could bo trusted witl ouch responsibility who was under the domination of the Union Pacific. 3n addition to that , Mr. Locke , as the head of the OM ha Waterworks cimpany was un fitted for the trust , because in our opinion , he had a cpeclal dcaign to legate in the interest of the water DOinpany nnd ag&inst the interest of Omaha taxpayers. And this is why wo opposed him. "We have done so with full knowledge tlut we would not only incur his dte- pVasuro but would have to forego his If this paper was conducted on ihe mercenary principles that are the mainspring that moves its local cent - t mpsraries , if it was its policy to r4. . k the pregnant hinges of the knee that 'thrift may follow fawning itT \T < > ifd bo unworthy of the confidence " u d it receives support from the com mon people. A sisonxAtt circumstance connected the election in California ia tlie ffwl that oven should the democrats & t > ucces fulone republican elector is c Twin "to pull through. One of the tjamncratic electors is Daniel S. Terry , ftho man who killed Judge Brodcrick , in a duel , several years ago. Ho has bv-an very badly scratched and ran far .Jjobind his ticket. This ensures the tjleclionof one of the republican elec tors even if the democrats secure tie 'ftmainini ; five , becsuss the leading 'man on either ticket will not have mnro than 100 mnjoiity. THE U. P , organ , with a republican "I r-nid , is pouring brine on the lacer- Ht4'H 'backs ' of the dead ducks that met i g'orious death on tha political bat eCKnaid in this county at the hands of tin anti > tnonopolists. The obvious bpct of this pepper and salt injec- ! Kin is to rouse publio sympathy for * 1iese ! * political corpses and inspire ilioji and their personal friends -with revengeful feelings towards THE BEE. Wo npprehend however that the people ple of Douglas county trill shed no the defeat of tieae political Buy teach ttOM who "rants , and having fought a good fight for the people against monopoly misrule , THE BEE has uo apology to make. THE south are now trying io ccn- : der what Leo and Jackscn would .o under the circumstancse. r. CHASE SPEAGUK has sued for a divorce ind accaEes her husband of h.r .g cone u with his little shotgun. thinks it was the Chinese sitcr thct rent Nevada over to the lemocracy. Jim Fair's money was at Ii3 bottom cf that job. D. HOWE , according to the Omaha Hcpubhcan , was disqualified 'or the legislature because Dr. Miller once called him "pigeon-breasted. " The people of Omaha and Douglas county refused to see it in that light. IT the Hon. P. W. Hitchcock , in response to the overwhelming demand of the people of Nebraska , who two years ago pretty unanimously retired liim from the senate , should accept the posi ioncf Secretary of the Interior , ! io will doubtless appoint Frank Wai- s aa commissioner of Indian affairs. l > bw while everyone i * suggesting Nebraska's claims for one of the cabi net cfiicsa , wo would suggest the name o" H. A Newman for secretary of the treasury. Henry has had some deal- incs with the revenue and his record is fully ns high AS that of one of the names suggested for the secretary of tha intenor. TEE channel squsdrou cf the Brit ish navy has been ordered to Ireland. The Laud Leagues are inciting the people to sedition and spreading in flammatory sppeals through the itluid , and the inevitable result seems to bo a COL flic t of perhaps a few weeks' duration between a handful of brave people and the resources of a mighty nation. Tnu Republican informed its read ers before the election that Mr. G. Doano was an avowed enemy of the Union Pacific , and predicted that the merchants and business men of Oma ha would consult their interests anc refuse to send such a roan to the legislature - islaturo And the business men , con sulting their own interests , have elected - od Mr. Doano by a largo majority. HOK. JOIES- . KABSON was elected to congress from the Seventh districl cjf Iowa , and is already mentioned as a prominent candidate for the epeak- erahip. Mr. Kassoa is a man of long legislative experience nnd is inoiery vray fitted for the position. He is an able lawyer , an accomplished orator , and a skilled parliamentarian , and his popularity among his republican asso ciates will , in all likelihood r.suro him his election to the spoakenhip. Tnu census office has published the officiil figure ! of population of South Carolina. From these it appears tha' ' in thirty-two counties there are 993 , 306 resident * , of which CM 235 are white and 391,071 are colored. The remarkable increase gver the census o 1870 is accounted for the ignorance r iha enumerators of ten years ago , who weren't up to the times an > t Insisted on returning only half the half the num her of actual residents.

Phillips Exeter ncadeaiy haa moro stiidetits this term thin ever before 220 is the number. The Lawrence Scientific School has thirty-four pnpils this year it had sarcnteeti last year. A nevr study has bean added to the Tcshman course ut Browii uuiversity a lecture on hygiene is giren before "t every week. The first municipal college foryonng r-irls in Franco is shortly to be opened at Montpelier. Another ia being built at Castle Sarrasin. Harvard Divinity school has jast re ived a bequest of $10,000 for the education of needy students intendicc ; o become clergymen. A school of cookery is soon to be established in Montreal , under the di rection of an cxoerienced lady from the Kensington ( Eng. ) school. The southern university for colored persons is to bo opened in New Or leans within n fortnight Dr. A. K. Gourier has been appointed president. The University of Denver has more thin fifty students. Dr. Moore , the president , is o man of great energy , and under his care the in.titutiurTis rapidly taking useful shape. Theprofefsora at Cornell last spring mentioned in their classes the case of one of the university students who had serioutly impaired his health by smoking. No rule was made , there was no compulsion , yet the emoking students almost entirely gave np the practice. At Harvard the old recitation sys tem in mathematics Im.given place to lectures , except in the prescribed courses in algebra , geometry and trigonometry - onometry , which form a continuation of the common academical instruc tion In analytical geometry , ad vanced analytics , the calculus of in finitesimals , quaternions and mechau- ics , text-books are used only as works of refirence , or as texts for the lec tures. : Chrisman Hall , the new college for colored youth at Atlanta , has just been opined , and is already nearly filled with pupils. It has a president and five teachers , who are paid by the Freodman'a Aid Sociolyand the prieo of tuition ia very DUIR'.I. Mra. Chris- man , of Topekn , gave $10,000 for the establishment of the college , and the rest of the § 40OCO , which it cost came romtheFreedman's Aid Society and m Bishop Haven's efforts to get > rivate _ eubacriptions. The Rav. Mtrk Pattison , Sector ot jincoln College , Oxford , declares that the English artisan need not fear com- rtiuon from Franca nor Belgium , > ut from the United States , and speaks admiringly of "the quick adaotion to new conditions , the de- visins ; of new methods , versatility of application , quickness of perception of the advantages of new processes , ; re spirit of Discovery and enter- iriaa' all these , he paints out sro to jo found "in the Northern States" of America. This greater intellectual vigor of the United Stites he at tributes to the liberation from the drsporism of routine ; everything hera ia naw , vrhilo anything new meets with grave difficulty in establishing : tself in England. And here Mr. P.utison f peaks approvingly of our "thoroughly democratic schools , wherein each pupil learns that it de pends on himself alone what place he may take in after life.

Liblanchc ( Mies Blanch Davenport ) , the young Americsn so- pronu , met with a singularly warm reception upon her return to Naples , the city which first recognized her aj 11 singer. Hundreds of persona friends surrounded the carriage anc took her to her hotel , where flowers and Inn'erns ' were arranged in her honor. She makes her first appear ance November 10 , In "La Traviata , ' the cntiro house hiving been taken within two days of the announcement. This is a rare record for an American girl. HONEY FOE THE LADIES. Coat basques of plaided woolen goods are worn. The old-fashioned cabbage-roae is the flower of the moment. Gold and glittler are seen upon nearly every imported bonnet. Golden-fawn and the new pinkish dove colors are favorites in Paris. Brocaded velvetcloaks , , lined with er tinhio or berwitsky , nra very ele gant an'd stylish. Many belts for ladies are made in the raaket pattern a sort of waist basket pattern , as it were. Independent velvet bodices , made Jersey fashion , are worn over dresses f other material and color The princess dress will again ba a Favorite style for evening costumes and for expensive house robes. The time required for a woman to walk from Omaha to San Francisco is three months and no purse. Purely tauciful plaids are fashion- ible for ladies' costumes The his toric tartans are more in use for child ren's suits. Handpome Turkish sashes of Surah eilk , with gathered ends finished with long heavy * Uk tassel ? , are sold in every shade of color. Fashion decrees that it is very bsd ; aste to wear expensive iewelry on the street. Probably fashion has pawned : s watch and chain. The new glove is the Sarah Bern- lardt , which fastens only at the wrist , and above it is closed like a stocking and wrinkled stylishly on the arm. Tha very latest thing in dress gar niture is the caterpillar fringe. Of course it is "fuzzy , " as its nime be tokens. It-is made of plush or che nille , and is of a yellow and bronze mixture. The Louisville Courier-Journal has jeeu consulting a dancing master about the Rye , the Racket , the Wave ind tha Telephone dances , and he says : hat no respectable- lady should in dulge In them. The coal-scuttle scoop-bonnet is the style. Of this there is not a shadow of doubt. It is therefoie adopted by nuny fashionable and pretty women , who thereby traniferm themselves in- : o absolute witch-liko guys. The now black woolen stockings save y ry tiny ribbings , and much imbroidery , in black only , is used on black ilk stccklna * fo * tju > ar0ning. As a rule , the winter stockings will match the dress in color ; and the new hoes seem more pointed in the toes han ever. A fathlon paper tells us that silken losiery is now all the rage _ in Paris , 'with insertions of portraits and me- lalltons of pointlscs. " Fancy glanc- ng at your lady-love's stocking and inding there the portrait of some oth- r fellow. intense coloring nnd startling com. > inaiions seem to haVe reached their imit both in dress and millinery , and American ladies already look with ad miring eyes upon the very few : oa- umea exhibited by leading imp irJars , which are quiet in color and simple and clegint in design. Low-throated linen collars , with a ) : nt each side and flaring bahind , are worn by young ladies. Hfgh linen collars are worn very close , indeed , and ara made quite straight , with a tud button at the top of the collar and a second stud lower down. New ribbona are in colors and de signs to match the new dresa nnte * rials plush-Sgured velvets , brocades , .insel tissues , plaids and soft ottoman ribbona. Prominent amonn low priced ribbona are atripss in mono tone satin and silk In widths for sashes , bows and bonnst ribbons. Two ladies went to see Clara Morris. In ono of the most affecting passages of the play , when the whole hotine was hushed in stillness , one lady who had been using her opera glass at tentively , remarked to the other : "Poohi The trimming on her dress is nothing but Hamburg edging. " The new -whiter petticoats nro wm- sey. Some have theilow'er edge , half a yard deep , embroidered in a con trasting colored silk , such as old gold or cardinal or dark bine , in spots the size of a florin. Othera have equal and unequal parpendiculsr stripes of a contrasting color , the newest Inter woven with tinsel. The materisl is wide enough for the depth of the fckirt. "No , inarm , " caid the shoe dealer ; "I would like to give you a smaller pair , but to sell you amything below eights rrouli render lue liable under the statute for the prevention of cruel ty to animals. ' He didn't sell her anything under eights or over it. Some women are so touchy about the size of their feet. Boston Transcript. PEPPERMINT DROPS. Why is the discovery cf the north polo like an illicit whisky manufac tory ? Because it is a secret still. Many a man who can pack a caucus to perfection , takes a back seat and lots hisirifo come to the front when thsro h occasion to pack a trunk. l'Why did King Henry never smile again ?

[ Burlington Hawkeye. RELIGIOUS. A colporteur in Japan recently sold over 1,000 Bibles in a week. * The Baptists of Wisconsin number about 13,000 members. There are about 200 organizations and not far from 150 ministers. In the Episcopal diocese of West ern New York 774 confirmations have been made uuring the last year , and in that of Long Island , 1227. * The Protestant Episcopal diocese of Minnesota reports 72 clergy , 61 par ishes , 89 miesions , and 4856 communi- c nt3. There were 546 confirmations the past year. The Methodist mission among the Chinese in California has an average attendance of 40 Chinese girls in the day , and 70 boys in tha evening , schools. The missionary , Mr. Gibson , lives among the Chinese. The Minnesota Methodists have vo ted at their state conference that they will do what they can to discontinue Sunday papers , and expressed the judgment that church notices ought not to ba published in a Sunday issue. The Rock River Methodist Episco pal conference , which includes Chica- 30 in its territory , reports 23,233 members and 1,417 probationers , 278 churches , 162 local preachers , and 33,264 scholars in b'uniay school. The whole number of communicants in the Presbyterian church is 578,671 , to which may bo added 120,028 for the Preibyterian church , south , mak ing the whole number 698,696 , and tbe united contributions of the two divisions were § 9,423,366. The revised Bible , now that it is almost done , teams to find scant wel- comfa anywhere among religious bed ies.Although it is the work of the united scholarship of the churches , and been carried on under the initia tion and auspices of'the church of England , the Episcopal church con vention , in session at New York , has developed a strong opposition to it , and the recant Presbyterian council only pointed to its chirtor provision forbidding it to adopt any revised scriptures. The Rev. Joseph Cook , of Boston , was entertained at breakfast in Lon don recently by the treasurer of the Young Men's Onristian Association , a large number of the I'ghta of British nonconformity being present.

" There WHS the queerest sdsna at ona of the churches last Sunday.
