Tun next Douglas grand jury will have a great deal of work to do , and it is hoped that the judges will notallow professional jurymen to como iu as substitutes for the regular panel. The Union Pacific claims that the B. & JM. has dealt itn foul blow as it has struck it below the Dolt. If the Union P.icifio would keep out of prizo-fights it wouldn't have to yell "foul.

JAY GOULD has appeared on the scene to give his explanation of the Now York panic. Ho siya it was caused by the bears. There is , on the other hand , however , a vrido spread belief that if Mr. Gould had kept his watering pot at homo there never would have boon any trouble. Tiir. Now York JTcrald has boon ob taining the 'views ' of various state gov ernors , on the burning questions of the day. Gov. Sherman's views as to where the now Iowa insane usyluoi should bo located , have not yet boon given. If the Jlcrald has a pump strong enough to bring out this , wo should like to ecu it. A FEW days ago Postmaster Boardsloy , of Hock Island , sent out n story t'mt an attempt had been made to rob his ollico , which ho had prevented at great persona ] risk. Ilucont developments , however , tend to show that no such ovcnt as ho do- ccribed over occurred.

There will bo no proxies , * ' and substitutes for l * k delegates can only bo ' made by the convention itself. There will still bo a good chance loft for Henry to pray for the convention , however , if ho wants to bo of service. RIGHT after the defeat of the Morrisoi bill it was announced that Morrison's friends would itsue a flaming address ot the tariff question which would fire th < democrats nil over the country. Ncarlj two weeks have passed but the addret has not appeared. It is now explained that the scheme is dead. None but th immediate followers of Morrison couli bo induced to sign it. It was expected that it would read lUudall and his rin entirely out of the party. Apparently Mr. Moirlson h finding out that it is much easier for the dog to wag the tai than for the tail to wag the dog. . -Jit > P Tint ANTI-MONOPOLISTS AS A J > AJtTYt In the winter of 18S3 a call was issued or n national anti-monopoly conference or tlio purpose of devising concerted noaauros that would check the aggression of corporate monopolies upon the Ameri can people. The conference was to moot at Chicago on the Fourth of July to pro- nulgato a second declaration of indr.- icndenco and aroiuo a spirit of resistance a the despotic rule and greed of organi zed monopoly. The head nnd front of this movement was a political adventurer > y the name of 1'ost , who nccupied a room in tlio attic of n third rate Chicago lolol , from which ho had boon bombard- ng thonational bankspulvorizingthorum lower , and preaching spiritualism , woman uflrago and other "isms" through a eadorloss weekly. At the time this national conference of nti-mouopolUU was called , tlmro had icon no distinct anti-monopoly party or ganized in nny state or territory , except- ng alone in Nebraska. And up to this tiy Nebraska is the only state in the union that haa an organized antimonopoly - monopoly party which haa fought cam- laigna aa nuch. California hnd its antimonopoly - monopoly constitutional party , but it [ issolvod as BOOH as thn main object vhich had called it into life hud been ac- lomplishod by the adoption of the now lonstitution. Now York has ita anti- nonopoly league , with 1 ? . B. Thurbor as ts acknowledged leader , but it lias imply sought to defeat monopoly candi- latos , on whatever party ticket they wore nominated , by massing votes against hem. Anti-monopoly leagues and farmers' alliances exist in Now Jersey , Kansas , bwa , Minnesota and other states , but hey novnr have attempted to act aa an iidopondont party , oven in local cam- jaigns When the conference mot at Chicago n July , it waa , an might have boon ox- octod , n motley crowd , llko Macboth'a witches , of black spirits and white , gray pirita and blue. There were a largo lumborof groonbackors , intent only upon ho demolition of national banks. There were rampant froo-tradera nnd rank pro- octionists. There worowoman-suH'ragtsts. irohibitionists , personal liberty men , Bob ngorsoll nthoista and men who wanted God in the constitution. Last , > ut not least , there was Dennis Kearney , vrith his running mate , who had como nil ho way from California to drive the Jhinoso out and advocate the right of the nil roads to charge what they please as oiig na they pay good wages to their rorkingnion. Then there were cranks f both BOXOB who were moro fit for a unatic asylum than for n political con- ontion. No wonder that the conference as a perfect babel , where everybody anted to talk and nobody could make limsolf understood. After an angry do- iato , Kearney and hia pals were kicked mt by common consent as hireling dis- urbora , This waa about the only sensible hing that the conference did. The res- lutions which were adopted and pub- shod as the soiiso of the conference were n fact moro stereotyped platitudes , with- ut an original or tangible idea upon any ital issue. The only substantial point ainod was a scheme to inorgo the defunct roonbackors and anti-monopolists into a ow party that was to bo called into life uring the presidential year. About sixty days ago another call was ssuod for national a anti-monopoly con tention to put a presidential ticket in ho field. It was nn open secret , when his call was issued , that it w.ia nothing inoro nor less thnnn scheme to put up Ken Intlor as the combination candidate of anti-monopoly , groenbacki m , labor ro- 'orm , woman suffrage , protection , revu- uio reform , prohibition , free whiskey , and democracy. The anti-monopoly convention - vention , no-called , was purposely net vhoad of all other national conventions oo as to force the nomination of Butler upon the democracy as the only candidate upon whom all elements in opposition to .horopublicana could combine. Meantime iho audacious domugoguo had himaolf elected as a delegate at largo from Mas sachusetts to the national doinocr.Uio con vention. The no-called national antimonopoly - nopoly convention was a great deal moro of a fraud than n farce. The delegates did not represent ono-half the states in the union. Moot of them had no other credentials than their own statements or appointments made by themselves. No primary olectionn vioro called , or con ventions hold anywhere to oloot theao delegates. In many instances their only claim to being auti-mouopolisla won that they were opposed to the existing order of things. Kvon in Nebraska , whcro the parly hus an organization and n largo and rcnpoctablo following , the delegates were appointed by BOIUO half-dozen mombora of the ntato committee. To the credit ol Nebraska delegates , bo it naid , they did not clamor for Butler. Tlio cut and dried programme which Bon Butler's henchmen have forced upon the convention , aroused a great deal o ! indignation , but the convention had been packed and the gagged delegates had no other recourse than a bolt. The faoi that the convention did not nominate a candidate for vice-president allows on its face that this was merely a put-up job ii the intercut of Bon Butler , That wily acliomor oxpocU to trade the vioo-preai doncy for all it is worth in the natioua democratic convention. The anti-monap olists are to bo mod simply as a cat's-paw to pull hi chestnuts out of the firo. Thii is certainly a humiliating position for true anti-monopolists ( o occupy , but nothing better could have been expected from movement gotten up prematurely by designing men who have nothing in com mon with the cause of anti-monopoly. Ben. Butler himself Is the last man that cai lay any claim * to the aupport oj moi who oppose the encroachments of corpor- atemouopoly. Ho has amassed millions as a corporation lawyer and has never done anything in congress to relieve the pro ducers , On the contrary , ho was always on hand to vote a subsidy , or to grant a charter. True , ho has of Iato pretended bo a convert to the greenback nnd abor reform doctrine , but his conversion s n moro sham , With him it has been a rule through life , that the end justifies ho means , nnd the end with him is to > o president , no matter how or by what methods. WHO JS HKSl'ONSlllLKI Omaha is just now being denounced ar and wide for the brutal prize fight .hat was originated in this city. Nearly every paper in this ntato is pointing to Dmalm as the headquarters of rowdyism and depravity , and most of them charge the responsibility for the prize-fight and iubscquont shooting affray directly upon , ho city and county authorities. Some of .ho papers , however , utriko the nail on , ho head by making the managorH of the Union Pacific railroad equally culpable with the ollicora of the law. The Fremont Tribune indulges in the following pointed comment on this disgraceful nfiair ; The prize fight which occurred near Viilloy the other day between Fell and llnnloy was certainly the most disgrace- 'ill nflair that over oc ured in Nebraska. Not only did the t\vo contsstants fight until they wire bloody , utilised and joastly , but after the affair broke up the crowd of roughs present to witness the 'mill" indulged in n frco for all fight. Whiskey flowed Ireely and revolvers vore flourished conapicously. On the .rain going back to Omaha three men voro shot and several fights indulged in naking n apcctaclo which disgraces the air name of Nebraska and is a travesty upon civilization and decency. This ilfiiir was advertised to take > lace nt Omaha but for once the authori ties of that city wore vigilant enough to prevent its occurrence tlierp. This , how- ivor , did not put n stop to it. The man- agora chartered a Union Pacific train and ran out in the country by night. The railroad company , therefore , should bo leld responsible for this disgrace. They must have known just what their excur sion train was wanted for at that untimo- y hour and they made it possible for the jloody worlc to go on- they were pnrtl- ccjs crvnifrtiH How long are wo to bo reproached for these disgraces ? How eng are decent people to suffer such gnonr'ny. Our Fremont cotomporary is ominotly correct. There could have boon no prize- Ight in Sautidera county without the connivance of the railroad managora. The people of that county arc now going to bo put to the oxponBo of criminal ; riala which will burden thorn vrith needless taxes. It was well enough understood among the pugilistic element .hat the prize-fight should not take place n this county if the railroads would ac- : omodato them. Now that Messrs. Ames and Adama como all the way from Boston to naugurato railway service reform it will > o eminently proper for them to ascor- uiu who among their local officials allowed lis sympathy with prize-ring bullies to ; o no far an to equip n special train to carry the bruisers. Whoever that man nay bo ho certainly has placed the road in a very unenviable- light , and has shown limsolf unfit for the responsible position vhich ho holds. THAT Omaha is sound financially to the core has again boon shown during the > ast week by the stability of our banks and business houses in the face of a finan cial crash that proved moro or less disas trous in many other cities. Kansas City and St. .Too , for instance , have boasted of the solidity of their capitalists , but now , as in 18711 , they were unable to stand the severe strain. St. .Too liad one jmk : failure , and Kansas City banks were on the verge of going under , only escaping suspension by offering to pay depositors twenty cents on the dollar and ; iving certified checks for the balance.

TUB long-promised now cover appears on the Juno number of The Manhattan , vhich may now congratulate itaolf on lavinc as beautiful n cover as magazine over Had. The design , simple and artis- , ic , is printed in a rich carnation on an old-gold paper. The contents of the lumber are worthy of the cover. The Frontispiece is an airy figure-piece , en titled "Spring , " drawn by Mcllhcnnoy uid engraved by Juongliti } ; , illustrating some lines of Willis Gaylord Clark. An American painter , Henry Roderick Newman - man , who has long lived in Florence , is the subject of the opening article , written by II. Buxton Forman , the editor of [ Coats and Shelley.

In the "Town Talk" there is a solution of the vexed question as to who is "Obormann , " in ado famous by the Now York Tribune hoax , and there are some laughing things in "Salmagundi. " ART NOTKS. Miss GIIEATOHEX , whoso talents an i painter oflowers / arc fully recognized has recently completed n study of Chry santhemums for Mr. L. Prang , as com panion to the Hollyhocks which ho pur chased after the last water color oxhi bition. They are specially adapted for studies for advanced students. THE Iato A. F. Bellows excelled in landscape , and the value of his produc tions has doubled since his lamented death last year. Four charming land scapes from his brush are among Prang's forthcoming publications. They are in his happiest manner , with the tender poetic treatment that especially distin guished his vrork. Essentially American in fooling , his choice of subjects was al ways of quiet homo scenes , and ho is without a rival in tlio delineation of land scape , seeking his theme among quipl meadows and in pastoral districts , in preference to the wilder mountain views which tempt BO many of our American artists.
