K EvAnre. Secretary of State.
to the latest advices ,
-iw York society refuses to condone
the vices of. Sarah Uernhardt , end is
leaving her ou ? jn the cold of social
nogloct.
IT seems probable that Alabama will
elect Hon. L. P. Walker of Hunts-
rll'o , to fill tha unexpired terra of the
late U. S. Senator Houston. Walker
was secretary of war ol the first con-
f edorcto cabinet.
THE unfinished state ot the cspHol
of Illinois , at Springfield , will bo con-
ciJeredby the next legislatoro'of that
ntata. Over $3,000,000 have already
been expended on this pretentious
ntructure , and a deficit of $331.000
remains tc bo supplied. Oapitol jobs
are always expensive and Nebraska
proves no exception to the rule.
THE city of Kcw York is attempt
ing to make the elevated railroads pay
taxes on their structure and road-way.
The roads , who o stock is entered up
ti 400per cent , of its value , on which
amount they are vainly struggling to
pay dividends , already owes the oity a
million and a quirtar of taxes , and re
sists payment on the ground that
they are cot built on real estate.
ONE of the great reforms in Masse-
c'msetis schools is the practical aboli
tion of text boaka on grammar and
the substitution of conversation &ni
written exercises in the pUce of dry
rules and puzzling exceptions. The
result of the adoption of this plan in
the Quincr schools has been produc
tive of wonderful advancement on the
part of the pupils. The eoocer our
primary schools grasp the idea that
their chief function should be , not so
much to impart stereotyped informa
tion as to awaken a spirit of inquiry
and correct and accurate habits of
thought , the better it will be for the
efficiency of our graded school system.
; Ohio senstowhip is attratv
i at Colum
Washington. The question has nr
en whether any senator cau bo elect
ed until after Thurman'a term expires
Tid tho.VBcanoy is reported from the
senate. Should the republicans elcot
a candidate to fill the vacancy left in
the ranks of senators-elect by General
Garfield's resignation , the case will
have to go before the senate commit-
tae of privileges and elections , com
posed of a majority ofjdemocrate.
The democrats are counting on con
trolling the organisation of the senile ,
and the longer they can keep the new
senator Trailing in the corridors of the
cr.pitol , the bettor they will be satis
fied. In any event there Ha likely to be
musio before the Ciso is decided.

I \i \ THE question of how land reform In
Ireland , which cannot bo much longer
delayed , is to be accomplished , is ,
just at present , a fruitful topic of
discussion in London journalism. y
Many of the liberal party , in the
house of lords , who 'hbld'largo estaies
encumbered by fixed charges and cin-
barraieod by entail , are secretly in
favor of a solution of the Irish
problem , because ultimately English
land-holders may be brought * uudor
its provisions. The mass of the Eng coi
lish people will favor almost any a
means which will bring about r. divi itei
sion of the land. The St. Jamts cor
Gazette predicts "the ultimate mcr.nB on
will probably ba the purchase of lied wo
by the state aud its distribution to the the
peasantry to be paid fcr in a certain us
term of years. Nothing short of thie can
will be accepted bo the Irish agitators. Tr
And. nothing short of this will solve pul
the problem. tha ;

Ti-orc are none eo blind as those
who will not see. The eyesight of
the editor of the Pilot has been fail-
iog rapidly ever sinca he was commis
sioned postmaster of Blair , and we
fear before he comes up for reappoint-
msnt he willliecomo stone blind.
It was infamous for the Union
Pacific organ that champions Valen
tine and Oirns to falsify the cfflcial
returns of this ttale , and it is nn-
pardonable for any well informed
journalist to reproduce these false re
turns when the correct figures were as
accessible. Such an attempt to throw
chatf into the eyes of the people is to
ray the least reprehensible , and ouTht ;
to deprive the Pilot and every other
paper that has reproduced thesa lies oi
popular confidence.

sioner 85,941 , which mates the aver-
ao of the seven state officers 86,911.
The total vote cast for lieutenant gov
ernor is 84,420 and the total vote re.
ptrtcd as cast for congressman is only
80,341. "What do these figures show ?
They prove conclusively that takin ;
the average , vote of the seven
stale officers as a basis , 24S5
republicans scratched Cams end voted
a blank on lieutenant governor , while
6570 republicans and democrats eitherk
bl&uk for congressman or

that fact has been .entirely suppressec
in the returns.r r this-caunty lone
over 700 votes were polledfor Thomas
Majors , for congressman , and yet no
a vote hiubeon credited to him.
The fact that Jamen E. North , the
democratic candidate for congressman -
man ; , runs behind his ticket does not
show Valentino's popularity.
North's nomination was & job pu
ut by the democratic cappers of the
railroads , to help Valentine. The
ranc
nomination of North was not announced
ncn
nounced until six day * before elec
tion < , and in several counties his name
wsa omitted from the demoeratic tick
ets. The fact that Valentine , with
no "Candidate against him , received
only 52,048 votes , while the lowest out
of ! the seven state officers received
54,895 votf B , ahows the want of confi
dence in him by the republicans oi
this state. In a national campaign
ar a republican candidate for con
gress -who is running for re-election
ought to rua ahead of the state ticket.
ouTi
The fact that Mr. Majors polled less
votes for contingent than the
state officers is readily explained.
Erery republican voter that scratched
Valentino and voted for Majors for
congrc&Emnn did not vote for Majors
a&ontin ! : cnt. Had Majors been cred
ited with the votes he received for

the Blair Pilot , and all the.other
