Titn chief ambition of the patrons of
the prize rincr.ia . to find a man who can
down Sullivan. The latest candidate for
this honor is Mr. Morvino Thompson , n
Cleveland pugilist. The fact that ho is
an Ohio man is greatly in his favor , as ita
a cold day when an Ohio man gets loft.
THE Mortnnian democrats in Nebraska
are in deep mourning. J. Sterling Mor
ton , chairman of the state democratic
committee , haa resigned. Having bo-
oomo convinced that ho could not run the
democratic party in this utato , ho has
concluded to lot it run itself.
HENRY BROWN , a colored man aged
121 years , died yesterday at Niagara ,
Ontario , to which place ho escaped from
Virginia when ho was a youth of 55
years. Of course ho remembered all
about George Washington , Ho actually
saw Washington , and this reminiscence
was a great consolation to Mr. Brown in
Lia old ago.
Tnii oleomargarine manufactur

THERE is a tide in the affairs of women ,

ouo , an actress of ; but. . little account ,
who was receiving a salary of 815 a week ,
Bailed into notoriety on account of her
breach of promise suit against Lord Gar-
moylo. She in now playing to crowded
houses and her salary is $250 a week.
t ? THIS latest advices concerning the cat-
Ho plague in Kansas are to the effect that
it is not the foot and mouth disease , but
genuine epizootic apthro. The veterinary
surgeons who have carefully investigated
the disoaoo say that it can bo easily con
trolled by the destruction of the infected
animals and disinfection of the promises.
Whatever the disease may bo it is cer
tainly bad enoughand prompt measures to
chock its spread should bo taken when
ever it appears.
THE coming city election as usual prom
iso's to bo a carnival for the bummers and
hoodlums. The republican primaries ,
with two exceptions , are to bo hold in
saloons , and the polling places on elec
tion day have bben located in saloons in
all but two wards. The law prohibits
the sale of liquor on election day , but the
authorities not only tolerate the open
violation of law but itmto violence ,
drunken brawls and corruption , by desig
nating saloons as the polling places.
DYNAMITE is to bo introduced into the
science of war. A dynamilo pneumatic
gun , made of brass , forty foot long , and
weighing about a ton , is being completed
at the Dolamator Iron works. It will bo
-worked with 800 pounds of air prcsnuro
ipor souaro inch. It is expected that this
. gun will throw a 24-pound projectile with
great precision a distance of nearly three
miles. It will be mounted and tried at
Fort Hamilton. A smaller gun , of the
amo design , which has boon experiment
ed with , drives those projectiles , filled
with sand , instead of dynamite , through
a foot of solid oak at a mile range. In
naval warfare the pneumatic-dynamite
gun will prove very effective , as well as
In the bombardment of cities and camps.
With such powerful and destructive woa-
pens , wars will bo looked upon with horror
ror and will bo of short duration.

P EMPLOYERS.
The relations existing between em
ployer and employe , or master and ser
vant , form ono of the most interesting
and important elements of common law.
It has always been hold that the master
is bound to oxorcvso toward his employe
or servant duo care and diligence in pro
viding a reasonably safe place at which
to work ; that machinery and appliances
must bo in good and safe condition ; and
th.it provision must bo made against ox *
posuro to danger while in the discharge
of duty , There is placed upon the em
ployer a much greater responsibility than
is generally supposed , but it is by
no moans too groat. The law
holds him strictly accountable
for negligence , the result of which maybe
bo personal injury to these in his ser
vice. It is also a principle of common
law that whenever the master delegates
to Any ofllcor , servant , agent or employe ,
the porformanco'of any duty which real
ly devolves upon the master himself ,
then the poraon thus delegated is acting
by authority and in the place of the mas
ter , and the master is liable for his acts
or his nocligonco. Notwithstanding those
well established common law principles ,
which are founded upon justice and
right , railroad companies are almoat in
variably endeavoring to ova-lo these re
sponsibilities in these matters.
The practice has bccomo quite com
mon among the railroads to require a
man , upon being employed , to sign a
written agreement releasing them from
all liability for personal injury from acci
dent caused by the negligence of a follow
employe. Such agreements , however ,
are not worth the paper they are written
on. This has boon demonstrated very
clearly by the result of several lawsuits
based on these very points. A case has
just boon decided by the supreme court
of Kansas which defines very clearly
the relation of master to servant ,
with reference to responsibility for
negligence either by the master or his
norvant , In this case the cammon law
principles have simply boon reaffirmed.
A foreman or boss car repairer of a
railroad company vras put in charge of
three subordinate car repairers , whoso
duty it was to repair cars while standing
on the track in the yard of the company
in which trains were to bo made up at
St. Joseph , Mo. The company loft
everything concerning the work of re
pairing the cars , the control of the sub
ordinate employes , and their protection
while at work , to such foreman or boas
repairer ; the foreman directed a car. to
bo sot on the track at a particular place
for the purpose of being repaired ; ho
then ordered two of his subordinates to
go under the car for the purpose of re
pairing it ; these employes took with
them the tools necessary to make the re
pairs , and while they were engaged in re
pairing the car , other cars pushed this
car along upon the track in such a man
ner as to cause the car to break and
mangle the arm of ono of the subordinate
employes. The injured man had noth
ing to do with the movement of the cars
pushed against the car under which ho
wan working ; ho did not know and could
not have known , in the situation ho was
in , th&t the cars were being pushed against
the car under which ho was at work until
they struck the car , no notice or warning
from the foreman , or by signal boll , or
otherwise , was given him of the approach
of the cars ; it was not in his power to
prevent the collision of the cars , or to
save himself , by tho'exorcise of reasona
ble care , from injury. At the time
the foreman was present overseeing the
work , and it was his duty to notify the
yardmaster having control of the man
agement of the cars , when and where ho
was going to repair a car ; no signal flags
were furnished by the company or used
by the foreman to designate the car that
was being repaired.
The court hold that it was the duty of
the foreman or boss car car repairer , aa
the representative of the company , to son
that reasonable precautions were taken
to protect and guard his subordi
nates while engaged in the discharge of
their duties under the car , where ho had
placed them , against danger arising from
the switching of cars and the making up
of trains on the same track , and for an
Injury resulting from his negligence in
thin respect , the company is liable.
During the last session of the Nebraska
legislature a bill was pending in the
house to relieve railway companies from
all responsibility for injuries ( sustained by
an employe owing to the negligence of
a follow employe. This bill was strongly
supported by the railway faction , but
was finally defeated. Had this bill boon
passed and become a law in Nebraska ,
it would have superseded the common
law , and thus have taken away from the
working people ull protection against
negligence on the part of their employes.
"RICHELIEU" IloiUNaON introduced a
bill in the house on Friday to give a pen
sion of $2,500 to Mrs , Soptamiua Ran
dolph Meiklohain , the aged grand
daughter of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Ran
dolph was moved to ouo of the loftiest
flights of his peculiar style of oratory , bj
the respectable poverty of Mrs. Moikle
1mm , almost under the shadow of the
capltol of a nation that owed so much tc
her distinguished ancestor. In the
course of his remarks , says the Non
York Times , ho imagined the capita
connected by telephone with Montocollo ;
ho called up the author of the Declaration
tion of Independence ) and asked hit
opinion of the proposition to make com
f fortable the last days of the grandchilt
who had vat upon 1x1 s knee and rccoivet
his loving kisses at his mountain horn
in Virginia. Thomas Jofforeon straight
way made a speech through the tele
phone in consonance with the views o
Mr. Robinson ; using the Game ornat
is I rhetoric and pursuing the same line o >
1 thought with which the Brooklyn m ui
JOT had already entertained the house
'or half an hour. After ono of the op
ponents of the bill had shouted that ho
would vote for it if Robinson would only
Jtop talking , the twister of the British
oil's tail sat down. Mr. Robinson's ol-
iquont oratory , however , did not carry
ho bill through , It was defeated by an
tvorwholming vote , The democrats op
) oscd the pensioning of Mm. Moikloham
on the ground that it was contrary to
ho teachings of Jefferson himself to
create a civil pension list and umvarrant-
id by Iho constitution.
WANTXD-A FEW 1'UNKUALS.
Omaha never will bo a great city until
hero are a few moro funornla among her
ild moas-backs and obstructionists ,
thousands upon thousands of people
who came hero to locate during the past
wonty yeara have boon driven away by
his class of selfish , short-sighted and
narrow-gauged property-holders. They
mvo not only atood in the way of pro
rcss , by asking exorbitant prices
or their unimproved lots , but
mvo always blocked every scheme
f public improvomont.
The failure of the proposed Farnam
trcot grade is duo entirely to the lack of
ublio spirit and hogcishnos3 ; of thoao ob-
tructionists. Omaha needs and should
mvo at least ono great thoroughfare that
a not cut up by railroad tracks ,
nd affords an outlet to the
ounlry west by easy grade. The
act that Farnam street is laid out
n uniform width the whole length to the
ity limits , and there connects with a
traight road clear to the Elkhorn river ,
nakcs that street of all others the great
utlot to the west. Farnam street to
ny is the principal business street of
) maha , and the establishment of the
iropoaod grade would have transformed
very lot cast of Twenty-second street into
lusinosa property within five years. It
would have made an easy and splendid
oadway beyond the now court house and
nhanccd the value of all the property
ho entire length of the street from fifty
o five hundred per cent. No sooner had
ho project boon placed before the coun-
11 than the very men who were largely
onofittod by the proposed change began
o sot up n howl about their terrible dam-
gos. As a consequence several seta of
imid appraisers refused to servo after
lioy were appointed for fear that they
would displease some Omahog.
Finally , a sot of appraisers did qualify
ud wont to work in earnest. Ono of
hose , however , Mr. B. E. B. Kennedy ,
nfortunatoly belongs to the old mosa-
ack fraternity. Although the law , un-
or which the appraisers were acting , ox-
rosaly provides that they should take
nto conaidoration the bonofita aa well as
ho damages. Mr. Kennedy set him-
elf up aa the supreme court and ovor-
ulod the law. Ho figured out several
housand dollars damages en a piece
> f unimproved land belonging to hi a
irothor-in-law , near the city limits , which
was almost sure to double in value , if
ho street was improved according to the
now grade. Ho allowed twenty cents a
ard for every yard of dirt to bo removed ,
when , as a matter of fact dirt can bo re
moved for half that money , where the
omand for filling is greater than the
upply. With such figuring Mr. Ken-
icdy'a bill of damagoa on the street
would have boon ever $80,0(10 ( , whereas
n fact $10,000 ought to be a lib'eral com-
onsation for the real damages , when
lie benefits are deducted.
The upshot of the matter is that the
ppraisora have disagreed , and the whole
reject has fallen to the ground. Now
omo of the dog-in-the-manger sharks ,
who were clamoring lor extravagant darn-
goa , are beginning to realize that they
ave cut their own throats. They do-
orvo no sympathy. The city will have
sot-back on this account at least for
ovoral years. Instead of having a well
avcd street for miles wo will have a mud
road , and instead of having hundreds of
houaands of dollars expanded in busi
ness blocks and residences , that would
lave ornamented the principal thorough-
are , \re shall for. years have high mud
lanks and big frog ponds within five
> Iocks of the Faxton hotel and the opera
louso. After wo have had a few more
uncrals , the improvement will bo made
von if if costs three times $80,000. The
greedy sharks who have defeated the
present project have done the city .incal-
sulablo damage and themselves no good.
When some of them are buried it will bo
a groad day for Omaha.

The possibility that the tariff will divide
ho democratic party raises the question
with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch "as to
whether tariff reform is worth moro than
democratic ouccosa. " But the previous
3uoation is this : If tariff reform is to bo
odgcd , and civil service reform opposed ,
ind un honest and stable currency ignored
l > y the democratic party , what would
succeed with democratic successl There
is a well-worn adauo that "nothing suc
ceeds like success ; " but in politics , not
less than in business or in the work of
life , all that succeeds is not success. If
devotion to lower taxes , to a better BVB-
torn of public service and to honest
money do not give a definition of demo
cracy , what does it mean and what is it
hero for ? Wo pause for a reply. Do not
all speak at once it would bo confuting.
Senator Subln'a Explanation ,
Waahlngtoii Special to th Globo-Democrat.
That the chair of the national republi
can committee should vote wraiust his
party on the Porter bill has caused con.
sidorablo surprise and much comment
In reply to an inquiry as to his rowona
for so doing , Senator Sabin said that his
education on the Fitz John Porter mat
ter had been gained yeara before ho over
expected to have a seat in the Unite-
States senate , and his opinions had been
formed from a conversation with Gen
Terry , who it will bo remembered wu a
member of the ooard of inquiry that la
upon Porter's case during the Hayes ad
f | minUtration. Gen , Terry firmly be
ilieved that Porter was a wronged man
and hod convinced hhr > ( Sabin ) that such
was the caso. Ho had again and Again ,
botli publicly and privately , oxprcasoc
himaolf BO , and his vote would occasion
no surprise among his friends in Minnesota
seta , who fully understood his views , II
nras very disagreeable and embarrassing
, o find himaolf opposed to his party asso
ciates , and ho had withstood urgent np-
icala from many persons whoso wishes ho
could not but regard , but ho was coin-
polled from a sense of duty , as wall as
justice , to vote as ho did. Ho had been
irgcd not to vote at all , but could not
) lay the coward nnd preferred to frankly
express Ins convictions oven at the risk
of censure.
Tfjo Speaker's Pulpit.
"Tho speaker's desk , " writes a O'ovo-
and Loader correspondent , "is a sort of
marble pulpit ! behind which Mr. Carlisle
sit a in a great arm-chair nnd holds in his
ight hand the ebony handle of an ivory-
leaded gavel. This , in a caao of dis
order , which very often occurs , ho brings
down with a thundering rap upon the
joard top of the marble pulpit. It
sounds , when uoed with vigor , like the
shot of a pistol , and is the term of longwinded -
winded speakers. Mr. Carlisle uses the
; avol lightly , but little Sam Cox , when
10 goto in the chair , brings it down with
all his might , and the other day when ho
ras raising it for a mighty stroke the
lead caruo oil , and it flow to the floor.
) fton the gavel breaks , and then a now
mo is procured. Sam Raudall was very
mrd on gavels , and btoko a great many
luring his term as speaker. Ho has the
ernmna of these in a cabinet at homo ,
rhich ho nhows to visitors as n sign of
iia former power. Ono of these is a
Kiautiful ono , which ho got during his
aat torin aa speaker. It waa made by a
Georgia mechanic , of 110 pieces of hick
