AVKU , the pill man , owed to advertis
ing his fortune -1,000,000 , which ho
left to his wifo. This is n hint to the
wives of business men to pursuado them
to advertise extensively. It is not noces-
nary for us to remind them what paper is
the best advertising medium in Onialm.
Now timt Omaha is to have two more
letter carriers there is business hero for
the civil service examining board. It is
not a question of logs alone , but whether
the applicants can conjugate the Greek
verb and wrestle with Latin. Postmas
ter Coutant will probably open a night
flchool for applicants.
Mu. AOKK will for once attach his
great name to the great seal of Nebraska ,
on a reprieve granted to the murderer
Hart , who was to have been hung at
Grand Island on Friday. This historic
document will be the only relic to remind
future generations that Agoc was once
acting-governor of the state of Nebraska.
COMMISSIONER Loiti.vn has furnished
i',000,000 packages of pumpkin seeds and
"garden sass" to members of congress
during the past year. The ex-chairman
of the agricultural committee , "OurVal , "
was allowed his choice of caulitlowor ,
cabbage , union seeds and garlic , which
ho planted in the third district , where it
would do him the most good.
Pr.on.K who imaginv that they will bo
able to get along very comfortably this
winter without fura and overcoats may
discover before spring that they are
a little off in their reckoning. Vonnor
makes the comforting announcement that
" March and April will probably give us
the cold and snow lacking through the
first half of the winter. "
IT has now been discovered that the
tail-end of the old ticket has gone abroad
to consult Sir Henry Thompson and Dr.
Brown-Sequarct about hishealth. , It is
an open secret , however , in cipher alley ,
that Tom Hondricks has gone across the
big pond to find out what Abe Hewitt
was doing over there. If ho should hap
pen to moot Dr. Miller ho will got all
the medical advice ho needs.
If , ' IT is the same old story over again in
regard to Arctic expeditions. A second
expedition haa always to bo sent out to
* ind the first ono. The president lias
now appointed a board to consider the
question of sending an expedition for the
relief of Lieut. Greeloy and party. The
history of Arctic explorations is a history
of-fatal disasters. Wo fail to see any
goid results as yet from these expeditions
to the Arctic regions. S3 for they have
proved a waste of life and money , and
science has not profited in the least.
CROW Dee , the Indian who made his
escape after being sentenced to death for
the murder of Spotted Tail , appears to
bo a very shrewd man. Ho probably
knew what ho was doing when ho re
cently surrendered himself to the auth
orities. The supreme court of the Tin
ted States has .just decided that the dis
trict court of Dakota had no jurisdiction
in Crow Dog'a case , and that lib im-
.prisonmciit is illegal. Crow Dog very
likely consulted a Sioux ( City ) lawyer be
fore surrendering himself. Ho can now
crow all ho pleases.
O.vc thing haa boon demonstrated , and
that is tlmt shavings and tar-barrols can
not be burned on asphalt pavement with
out destroying it. This will have on im-
poi tant bearing on the presidential cam-
paignaa it will limit bonfires to the streets
that are paved with atones. This is probably
ono of the reasons why Furnam street
property owners Imvogonobackonabphalt.
The fact that asphalt pavement is do-
otrucliblo by fire may prove un obstacle in
the way of the Jfcrttld'a contemplated
bonfire reception to Dr. Miller upon hia
return from Europe. The Jfcrnhl will
Imvo to pay for n section of pavement or
abandon its bonfire. Dr. Miller , how
ever , will probably bo so brim full of en
tlmsiasm that ho will pay for two suctions
and a drawing room.
suffrage stock is looking up a

The general condition of industry and
trndo ii not as favorable na it WAS ex
pected tobeatthis'timoof thoycar. In the
cast the jobbing trndo has fallen off and
ninny heavy business firms have been
driven to the wall. Some of these fail
ures are duo to reckless speculation ; oth
ers to the inability of merchants to realize
on their stocks. At the industrial
centers , notably among iron and glass
nannfaclurors , tbure is unusual depres
sion on account of over production.
Many of the iron mills of Pennsylvania
irnl Ohio have boon forced to close down
> ccauso there is a glut in the iron mar-
col. Thousands of working people are
hus thrown out of employment at a lime
vhon they moat need it , and the retail
norcliants must aulFbr n decline in consc-
liionco , In the west the cause of general
dullness among jobbers an well as small
lealcrs is to bo attributed to underproduction
duction rather than to over-production.
In the northwestern states a general
shortage of cropi is most icsponsible for
.he light demand for merchandise and
diHi suit collections among merchants.
The grain dealers of the west
iiavo been undeceived about the
quantity and quality of corn , which is
ho staple production of Kansas , Iowa
and Nebraska. For the first time in
many years the corn crop of this region
s hardly fit for marketing. The lateness
of the season , coupled with the cold
summer and heavy rains , is responsible
or the immature crop , which cannot for
ho most part bo graded , and must bo
od to ntock at home in order to make
ho producer realize upon it. Many far
mers do not own n sullicicnt number of
cattle and hogs to consume their corn.and
are not able to add to their live stock.
! 'hoso who have stock do not expect to
realize before next spring , and the mer
chants are compelled to carry them mean-
imo. This accounta fur the peculiar
tate of trade , notwithstanding what was
oiiaidercd a prosperous year in the west ,
t is , therefore , problematic whether
rado will recover its usual
moynncy during the present
winter. In Omaha the jobbers
nd retailers are more or less indopon-
, cnt qf the farmer's trade. The grocery
.rado will fcol the depression the leastbo-
auso people mustliveoven if tiny have to
> orrow money to pay for the necessaries
f life. Other branches of trndo , notably
lardware and lumber , are supplying the
orritory beyond Nebraska which is not
( Tooted to any material extent by the
orn crop. Our retail trade comes largely
rom local consumers , and they nro
neatly made up of workingmen em-
> loycd by the railroads , factories , and the
ontractors for public works. The out-
ook for Omaha retail trade is not in
he least discouraging.
I COMPROMISE WITH 11ISUOI' HARK.
The opening of the Sioux reservation
las been principally opposed by Bishop
laro and other Dakota missionaries ,
who arc afraid they will lose their grip
among the Sioux , and thereby bo derived -
> rived of numerous valuable perquisites.
t aeoms , howovcr , that a compromise
jaa been effected with the missionary
ing , of which Bishop Hare is the head
nd front , and there is now a strong
robability that the Sioux treaty'will bo
ratified and the reservation opened for
ottlomont at an early date. In accord-
nco with the ancient axiom , "First
atch your ITare , " etc. . Governor Ed
munds and Judge Shannon , of the com-
nission , hold a conference with the
) iahopat Vankton on Saturday lastrcla-
A'O to the objections which ho had
rgcd against the agreement. The com-
liasionera wore gratified to find that the
) ishop coincided with thorn in most of
10 leading feature of the agreement ,
nd the opposition attributed to Bishop
Tare by newspapers haa been incorrectly
jited and overdrawn. The commis-
oners expressed themselves as perfectly
tiling to recommend to congress an ad-
itional clause to the agreement , by
hicli all church missionary property
my be secured to the religious bodies
ntorosted , as well as u clause for more
ortain and effectual security of the
ghts of property to individual Indians
ho have settled outside the limits of
ic now reservation as bounded and do-
cribod in the agreement Under this
iow of the case , it is understood tlmt
litmop Hare withdrew all further oppo-
itlon , and will IIHO his influence to so-
uro the ratification of the agreement ,
'uduo Shannon and Governor Edmunds
losono much credit for their good judg-
ncnt and tact in disarming the great ob-
ections which Imvo thrcatonod to over-
brow the work of the commission.
OM : of the strong arguments made by
.ho whisky distillers in favor of extend-
ng the bonded period by an act of con
gress , is that a fail uro to enact such u

flue grade whisky on the market , whicl
would so overstock the market and rut
prices down thas retailers would sell it
almost as cheap ns beer. 11 would bo
rathur u surprise to the consumer to go

cents. Wo very much suspect that this

TROVIILK IN Till : CAM I' ,
It is believed that Speaker Carlisle will
appoint the luAiso committees on Friday
or Saturday , just before the holiday re
cess. The chairmanship of the appropri
ation committee is the subject of consid
erable yosiip just at present. It is pro-
lictcd that this place will bo given to
[ landull as n consolation for his defeat in
the spoakorship contest. Hlnckburn.who
worked hard for Carlisle's electionwants
the position , and it is said that ho is con
siderably out of sorts over Carlisle's in
tention of appointing Randall. Ho has
ndignantly refused a second place on the
committee. ' A lively quarrel in the dem
ocratic camp is the result , and a vigorous
opposition to Randall is being made. The
) bjcctions are based on the ground of
Mr. Carlisle's policy being indirect oppo
sition to that of Mr. Randall , and on
which Carlisle was victorious. Further
more the appointment of Randall as chuir-
nanoftheappropriationscommittee would
jive him the power to impede and ob
struct any legislation Carrying out the
Carlisle policy of the tariff. It is said
hat on this ground Mr. Carlisle is urged
o reconsider Ihndall's chairmanship as
) cing dangerous , if not destructive , to
.ho future policy and success of the
democratic party. Four years ago , when
itaudall was elected speaker , Blackburn
was his leading opponent in the demo *
cratic caucus. By usage as well aa cour-
, csy , Blackburn was entitled to the ohair-
nanship of the appropriation committee ,
> ut Raridall ignored his claims and ap-
mintcd another man. It would now bo
n accord with the eternal fitness of
; hings that Randall should bo mndo to
: nko seine of his own medicine.
WATER OAS IN ST. LOUIS.
St. Louis has for several years been
wrestling with the gas problem. Like
nany other cities she has been merciless-
y bled by a gaa monopoly that haa given
> oor returns for her money. For aonio
months past various schemes of relief have
> cen agitated , and several corporations
lave come forward with schemes to fur
nish cheap light. The St. Louis Globe-
Democrat reports progress on the gaa
[ ueation as follows :
"Tho council has before it a bill au-
.horii'.ing the Gas , Fuel and Power com-
> any to lay pipes ; also sundry amend-
nonta offered by Mr. Stone in behalf of
.ho Laclode Gaslight company , for the
mrposo of killing the water gaa bill by
ndiroction ; and an application from the
'jaclodo company for an exclusive fran
chise. The water gas ordinance has been
carefully perfected by the committee on
) ublic improvements , and all public in-
.crests appear to bo sufficiently guarded
n the measure as it stands.
These facts ought to bo hold firmly
n mind by the people of this city
and their representatives : The Water
'las company asks for authority to lay the
> ipes and no thing more ; the I.acledocom-
> any asks for a monopoly of thobusincss ;
f the water gas bill passes , any other
company may bo given equal privileges
on the very next day ; if the Lacledecom-
mny's request is complied with no com-
) otition will bo possible for 20 years ; the
iVator Gas company binds itself to fur-
lish gas at $1.50 per 1,000 cubic ieot and
o pay 2i or . " > per cent of its gross in
come into the treasury ; and the Laclcdo
makes no guarantee in regard to price ,
and will pay the city only a mythical stir-
) lua above 8 per cent dividends. No
lane man can expect the city to got any
nonoy , or gas to be furnished for less
han ? 2.r > 0 under the Laclede company's
iroposition.
That water Gas Company makcausplon-
.id offer. If it could only bo held down
o comply with its promises , St. Louis
ould afford to grant it an exclusive fran-
hise , provided such a thing ia le al in
lissouri. Judging by the experience of
Omaha , the Water Gaa company
ocs not always mean what it says. It
s much greater in promises than in per-
ormance. Our city granted it a charter
or a number of years on its own condi-
ions. No sooner was the chartorgranted
lian it began to negotiate with the old
as monopoly , and finally some sort of a
ompact was made by which both pooled
iioir issues. Instead of building nowgaa
vorku and furnishing water gas of twenty-
vo candle-power , they still supply the
ity from the old works with coal gas of
n inferior quality. Meantime they have
og-rolled a contract through the council
hat given them S1U per lamp post for
ivo years , when they had volunteered to
urnish the city better gas at $2" n year
or each lamp post. The St. Ijouls conn-
oilman may not bo as gullible or mer
chantable as our city fatlmrs , and they
nay provide better safeguards against
mposilion. If they do not , St. Louis
taxpayers will got very little relief out of
the water gas company.

You will find that Mr. Carlisle will
uako up a list of committees that will

poaker has aa hard a hand as Mr. Uan-
lall. Carlisle gloves hisr Randall does
tot. Carlisle is ono of tltoso who easily
lecoivo the short-sighted. Men think
hey read him easily. They do not. Men
hink they can control him easily. They
annot. Like other men whoso ways are
> leasing , who are considerate- and cour-
oous , wlio listen politely , who allow poole -
) lo to bare them , who talk freely ,
hlr. Carlisle is judged to bo n good-na-
ured , oasy-goir.g man , wrap ] > ed up in his
> ookH and studies and absolutely ignorant
f human nature. Ho has , on the con-
rary , great gifta of shrowdnesa , porcop-
ion of policy nnd evenexpediency. . Ho
las the gift of concealing himself in his
onvorsation. The impression * prevails
liat to bo a successful politician ono
must shut his lips and bo very non-com-

'rom Massachusetts who believes ho is
'solid" ' with Mr. Carlisle for a certain
committee. Hois , Mr. Carlisle is solid
agauut him for it. Mr. Carlisle oxpecto
to have that committee to represent people -
plo and not individuals. The speaker
knows the ins nnd otita of all the old
members pretty well. Ho has aa keen a
scent for tracing a job to a member as
Randall had , and the man who wanted to
got thu railroad or public lands commit
tee will be apt to find himself a long
ways off. The ways and means comriit-
tee will bo BO made up-that it will represent -
sent the majority that nominated Carlisle -
lisle for speaker. It will bo composct
not only of men who think as ho djoa ,
but who knew something about thu in
tricacies of tarill bills , nnd who have
courage. Mr , Carlisle expects to see n
bill luportod that vrill do what tlfo Ut-if
commission assorted could be done , am
what the present law did not do reduce
the revenue tvlvout 20 per cent. O
courao such n bill will not beconu

party. I know that delegations will ' p

the work of organizing for the election
of delegates has alreadybcgun. I believe
too , that in some sections from which Mr.
Carlisle drew largo support , arrangements
are now being made to elect delegates to
the national convention who will take
issue with him , nnd with Morrison and
Frank Hurd. In Missouri , in Georgia
and in Louisiana full revenue-reform del
egates cannot bo elected. "
In view of these opinions , uttered by a
man who himself hai boon n candidate
for thu presidential nomination and who
represents to the country the opponents
of Carlisle's policy , wo may look for
something keenly interesting in thu next
few months , in the struggle for tuprcmacy
in the democratic party. To thinking
republicans this condition of things docs
not mean the destruction of
the democratic party , but rather
life , energy , aggrcssivencs and promise.

The appearance of John Jarrctt. late
president of the Ironworker's association ,
in the lobby of the house of representatives
as the agent of Pittsbitrg speculators who
want n hii'hor tax on tin-plato puts him
in the same position as that held by
Denis Kearney when he came before the
anti-monopoly convention in Chicago
this year as the advocate of high fares
and freights on the railroads. Like Kear
ney , Jarrett won what leadership ho had
by his supposed devotion to' the interests
of 1 abor , and like Kearney ho has gone
into the employ of the very capitalist
class against which ho professed to desire
to protect his followers. Each of these
mon has made his influence with the
workingmen a commodity for sale. The
Central Pacific people employed Kearney
to make an oratorical tour through the
east in favor of their monopoly because
they hoped his power over the minds of
the laboring classes could be used to mislead -
load them , and in the same way the TinPlate -
Plato association have employed Jarretl
to befool the workingmen and to missrep-
resent them before congress.
The Vineunr "War.
The Retail Grocers' Journal this week
devotes a page and a half to what it terms
the "vinegar war. " The article sets forth
that an effort has been made by eastern
parties to secure the repeal of the yapor-
izing law. This permits vinegar manu
facturers to produce low wines for the
purpose of making vinegar without the
payment of a United States tax , A num
ber of the prominent grocers and manu
facturers of this city have united in a
petition to the senators and representa
tives of the state ef Missouri asking them
to use their influence and votes against
the repeal of the law. The petition sets
forth that the provisions of the law en
able manufacturers to produce a perfect
ly pure food product and to drive adul
terated products from the market. The
repeal of tho' law would double up the
cost of production , and injure the manu
