THE London papers are satisfied with
the nomination of Mr. Cleveland , but
the American people do not generally

The Now York indopondonta arc down

swallow the democratic machine. This
ia another instance of choking at a gnat ,
and swallowing a camol.
In the campaign of 1770 the democrats
rolled a "bar'i" at the head of their
ticket. In 1880 they tied a "bar'l" to
the tail. This year they have loft out
the "bar'l" and retain the bung.

THE MISSOURI RTVJSR COMMIS
SION.
The riror and harbor bill , which wni
passed by congress nt ita recent aission ,
contains among its provisions n clautc
creating the Missouri river commission.
This commission Is to consist of five
members , throe of whom shall b6 select
ed from the engineer corps of the army ,
and two from civil life , one of whom at
least shall bo n civil engineer. The pay
of the civilian commissioners is fixed at
32,500 , per annum , but the army officers
detailed for this purpose are to receive
no extra pay. The duty of the Missouri
river commission as defined by the bill
is to superintend and direct all Improve
ments of the river , and to carry into c.\
ecution such plans for the improvement
of the navigation of the Missouri river
from its mouth to ita head-waters , as
may now bo devised and in progress , and
to make such additional surveys , examin
ations and investigations topographical ,
hydro-graphical and hydromotrical-
to consider , dcviao and mature
such additional plans and call
matca as may bo doomed ncc-
oasary and best ; to obtain n channel
andjdopth of water in the river aullicicnl
for the purposes of commerce and naviga
tion. The secretary of war is directed to
transfer and place under the control and
superintendence of the commission all
such vcaaols , bargea , machinery and in
struments , mid auch plana as may now bo
provided or in use in said river , from ap
propriations heretofore madu. The BOO-
rotary of war ia also empowered to detail
"rom the engineer corpi such ofiicira and
ncit as may bo necessary , and the com-
nicsion may , with the approval of the
lecrolary of war , employ nn additional
'orco ' and assistants , and , if nccesoaty ,
mrchabo additional boats , machinery
, nd instruments. The commission shall
uporintond , control and expend all nn-
iropriatioin for the improvement of the
ivor , and shall make an annual report to
ougrcaa. The secretary of tha coinmis-
iou shall bo an army oflicor detailed by
ho war department.
The bill appropriates § 090,000 for the
mprovomont of the Missouri river , ap
tortionod as followa : From the mouth
o Sioux City , $500,000 ; from Siouz City
0 Fort Benton $125,000 , of which § 15 , .
100 will bo for a snag boat ; for the nur-
roy of the river above the Missouri river
alls at Fort Benton , $15,000 ; for romov-
ng snags , wrecks , and other obstruc-
iona , $50,000.
The members of the commission are
tfnjor Charles R. Alexander Mackenzie ,
ilajor Oswald II. Ernst andMajorJSutor ,
11 of the engineer corps. The civilian
ommiaaottors are Hun. Garland 0.
Iroadhoad , of Missouri , and Hon. W.
. Broatch , of Omaha. The secretary is
lonry L. Thomas , of District of Colum-
la. The commissioners will doubtleas
onveno at an early day to consider the
ilana for the improvement contemplated
iy the appropriation. And it ia to bo
loped that they will invest the money
rhero it will do the most good.
The creation of this commission waa
irgoly duo to the course pursued by the
oproacntalivos of the Missouri valley in
lia Mississippi river improvement con-
ontion which assembled at Washington
1 February last. The delegates from
lie Mississippi and Ohio and their lower
ributarics endeavored to choke oil the
omandf or a separata commission , bu t
lie delegates from U'o Missouri valley ,
rom the mouth of the river to Fort Bon-
on , were united In their demand for
qual treatment of the Missouri with the
ilississippi , and after a protracted strug-
; lo they came off victorious. Ono of the
neat effective workers in congress for the
Missouri river commission was congress-
nan Burns , of Missouri , aud to hia per-
lonal efforts the people of the Missouri
alley are largely indebted for the croa-
ion of the commission and the benefits
o bo derived therefrom.
OJiOVJiR CLEVELAND.
When ( ! rover Cleveland was elected
; ovcrnor of the atato of Now York two
eara ago by the largoat majority ever
; ivonto any candidate ho attained at one
lound the most conspicuous prominence
is a presidential candidate , As governor
if the empire state ho was in position not
inly to display whatever talents ho might
losBosa as c.u executive , but to increase
lia popularity by a manly and fearlcas
mpport of every measure calculated to
idvanco the material wolf tire of the
masses ,
Graver Cleveland's record as governor
af Now York has dispelled the Illusion ,
Within ninety days after hia accession to
the position as governor ho arrayed him
self against the common people by mak
ing common cause with corporate monop
olists.
nia veto of the bill to reduce forca on
the elevated railroads ia only ono of the
many flagrant abuses of executive power
in the Interest of capitalists and monopo
lies , which marks the career of G rover
Cleveland aa governor of Now Yorl
The only redeeming feature of Governor
Cleveland's administration is his support
of all measures tending to purify the civil
service and chock jobbery in the city ol
Now York , and reduce state taxation to
the minimum by an economic policy. It
is mainly this feature of Governor Cleve
land's administration that commenda him
to the businoMi men , and has yivrn him n
firm hold upon Independent republicans ,
who regard civil servlcu icform am
honesty iu public expenditures us p.tr
.mount to all other considerations
This make * G rover Cleveland mns
formidable and at the BIUIIO tium th
weakest of candidates. Backed by the mo
uopollats , the businessmen and indepcn
lenU , ho is liublo to poll a largo p. '
contage of votea heretofore republican
Oppoaod by the producers , the working
nen , the Tammany joblors and ofilc
brokers , ho will lose nn immense vet
that has nearly always boon democratic
In point of ability as a slateamanGrovoi
Cleveland ranka lower than nny of hii
discarded rivals , from Bayard down t <
Butler. Hia nomination was , however
a foregone conclusion when the Non
York "machine bound and gagged UK
state dolcgalian by the unit rule.
To the Kditor of Tin : UKK.
Your ridiculous charges in last night' *
iasuo of your paper , certainly requires m
explanation and facts to substantiate it
I don't care so much aa to my own pcrsoi
or feelings aa to the reputation of the
court who has to try the criminals and
violators of the lawa and ordinances.
Yours truly ,
OUHT. BKNKKE ,
1'oiico Judge of Omaha.
If the honorable police judco insists
upon the production of faoU In explana
tion of what ho ia plcaacd to call "ridicu
lous charges" wo shall endeavor to accom
modate him , but wo doubt whether the
reputation of the police court will profit
by such a bill of particulars.
For the present wo will simply say n *
a friend of Judge Bonoko that Tin : Bin :
1ms no disposition to do him injustice ,
but ita duty to the public- imperative.
There has boon too much winking at
lawlessness in the police courtof late and
police ollicnrs aa well as citizans charge
that it la useless to bring complaints into
the police court , because in nine caaca
out often the law-broakera are discharged
under some flimay pretext. The Omaha
police court ia in most caaca the only
tribunal to which the law-abiding citizen
can look for the enforcement of order
and decency , and when that court refuses
to take notice of complaints or dismisses
them on frivolous pretexts the community
ia powerless to protect itself against thu
vicioua and disorderly classes. '
TIIOMAH A. IIuxmucKs was nont to
Chicago at the head of the Indiana dele
gation , instructed by hta atato to secure
the nomination of Joseph E. McDonald
to the presidency. Hondricks nomina
ted McDonald in a masterly speech , voted
for him once on Thursday and the very
jamo night ho joined in r. conspiracy
with Ben Butler and John Kelly to betray -
tray McDonald aud substitute himself ,
\ftor that disreputable plot had proved
m ignominious failure Hondricka waa
put in nomination for the vice presidency.
How any convention of rcapectablo po
litical gamblers could countenance and
nndorso such barefaced perfidy surpasses
ill comprehension.
Hud Thoa. A. Hondricks been the
chnico of his parly in Indiana It would
have been eminently proper for him to
\llow his name to bo used , but iu view of
the fact that Hendricks had not only
lot been endorsed at homo but was iu
lionor bound to support McDonald , rep
utable men of all parties will regard hia
: nurse as moat dishonorable.
IF the now broom is to sweep clean on
the Union Pacific it should begin with
the abolition of the siuucures. Ono of
the most superfluous positions is that nf
superintendent of eating houaea. This
gentleman , who is a brother of A. N.
Fowno , of the Central Pacific , does little
> r no work , for which ho draws $5,000 a
, 'oar , and in addition to this ho runs the
Liiramio eating house on his own account.
iVhy a man should bo employed aa aupcy-
ntondont of railroad eating houses at all
s something wo cannot comprehend.
Flvo thousand dollars ayoar Is a big sum
; o pay to any man to simply see that eat
ing house ) furnish an average meal. If
; ho company ia compelled to dispense
ivith its mechanics , and cut down the
ivagcs of the workingmcn who are re
tained , in order to economize , it strikes
aa that it could much bettor dispense
with ita eating house superintendent or
reduce hia earnings to what they are
actually worth.
Tin : moat remarkable demonstration of
popular enthusiasm over the nomination
'jf Cleveland ia said to have taken place
tt Council Bluffs. In the midat of the
intense excitement at the cloao of the
norning session the uocrotary of the
lonvontion road a telegram from Council
Bluffs , stating that the nomination of
Cleveland had boon received with the
wildest enthusiasm ; that thousands of
democrats and hundreds of republicans
were equally captivated with it , aud that
Council Bluffs would do her part toward
carrying Iowa for the democracy.
Waa it Mayor Vaughn or Eli Perkins ?
Thousands of democrats and hundreds
of republicans going wild with joyl At
what hour of the day did those thousands
embrace and go wild and iu what part of
Council Blulla did thin demonstration
ever glorioiiB tidingi take pUco. Why
didn't ' those jubilant Hawkeyea telephone
for a hundred kegs of layer ?
DEATH OF PAUL MORP11Y.
Paul Morphy , the famous chess player
is dead. Ho waa a native of Now Or
leans , end waa born in 1837. His father
was judge of the supreme court of
Louisiana. Paul graduated with great
honor at St. Joseph's college , Alabama ,
in 1854 , and waa for some time a law
student , At an early age ho developed n
great talent for chusa playing , having
learnt the game oy watching hia futhei
lay with hia brother-in-law. At the age
of twelve years Morphy had BO masturoi
the game that ho continued successful ! )
on even terms with the loading amatcun
of Now Orleans.Vhou twentj
years of 030 ho won great renowi
nt the American ohoaa congrows in No ?
York , in 1857 , in which ho defeated n !
antagonists with the gnutcat oaao. Hi
lost only three guinea out of ono hundred
and it waa admitted that ho was mor
than a match for any play or In the Unitui
Statcu. In 165 ? Morphy attended th
annual meeting of the British chess aesa
elation , whoroho won decisive victoricr
Ho next went to Parlu where ho bccam
aa much of a sensation as ho wan in Knjj
land. Ho defeated all the beat playcri
of Europe.
Upon hia return to America jual bofon
the war of the rebellion Morphy began tt
ohows signs of failing reason , and it wai
at this unfortunate period of hia life thai
ho took n auddon dislike to chess , ant
refused to play any more. In 1870 lit
became hopelessly insane. It has beer
aaid that hia dialiko to chess was caused
by the reflection that the game had
ruined his prospects of becoming a great
and useful man in hia profcsaion , In
1882 , during ono of his lucid interval ? ,
ho waa asked to furnish material for n
biographical sketch , and ho replied : "My
father has loft mo an estate ample enough
to decently defray all my expenses. I
have followed no calling and have pivon
no cause for a biography , I have re-
ciovcd a diploma aa a lawyer. " His prin
cipal nmuaomcnt was a daily promenade
on Canal street , and a nightly attendance
at the opera. Ho permitted no fricncly
acquaintance , and waa always moody and
mournful.
THE Chicago Times is ( utisficd with
the democratic nominations , but refuses
to praiao the platform. According to the
Times the great effort of the architects
acoma to have boon to embody in it the
idcaa and whims of pretty much every
body except General Butler , and oven
Ilia notions are by no means wholly ex
cluded. The object , prcaumnbly , was to
pleaao everybody. There maj , however ,
lavobcon another object to drown the
dean , such aa they are , in nn ocean of
words , to the end that the outiro docu
ment maybe lost sight of before the con-
cat fairly begins , and that the campaign
may bo conducted upon a few cries and
catch-phrases , each adapted to its own
ocality.
Tin : letter carriers are very indignant
) ocauso congreaa appropriated ouly
enough money to pay for substitutes dur-
i > U a seven clays vacation , instead of fif-
ccm days. There ia a good deal of hum-
nig , however , about the whole business.
The talk about the overworked carriers
a slightly exaggerated. The [ work that
, hey perform gives them plenty of
loaltby out-door cxcrciso , and their po-
ition of a letter carrier on this account
s much moro desirable than that of the
clerk who is confined in-doora , bonding
over a desk all day or all night.

Mr. Ulalno'd Early Days in
Speaking of Mr. Blaino's modeof life
n Washington vrhon ho first wont to
Congress a correspondent of the Cincin
nati Gazottosayo : At first ho lived , in
Washington in n nomadic way in hotels
or boarding houses , an do most congresi-
non but when ho was elected Speaker
10 bought n house on Fifteenth atruot , in
.ho bust quarter of town. Opposite lived
lumillon Full , then secretary of state ;
text door lived Fernando Wood ; General
Sherman's house was only a few doors
distant , and General Butler could bo
icon just around the corner. Bliuno'a
iona was thought n handnomo ono
but it was only a plain brick
structure in a row mid it cuts no
sort of figure in these days , when big
mansions in the Queen Anne , Elizabethan ,
Norrn\nand l.lniow not how many other
otylos abound at the c-ipitnl. There
wuro to big parlors on thn first lloor , and
bauk of them a sitting room and dining
room , and all four rooms connected by
folJiuf doors , no thut the crowds that
surge in at the apvukor'n ofliclnl recep
tions wor > J measurably well accommodat
ed. In thu bt-loiminga of thin , his first
Washington home , Blalno showed n
jondncmi for eugravingA , for uubstautinl
furuituro. and for bwikn. ITo was much
( ivuii to hoapIUlity , and never appeared
ao Imiipy as when entertaining n conge
nial dinner p-uty nt his b'g ' round tublo ,
For hia dinner table talka ho had an in-
exexlmuaUble fund of nnecdotcs and iv.it-
HoiauiH , I never heard him tell the a mo
stortwice. . When not onturtain-
ing friends at his own house
ho usually dined nut. I remember to
have warned hint once nf the perils of
the diucr-out how many nnd oiniiiont
man nail como nn untimely cud by patina
big dinners , [ lo siiiil ho obicrved a
stiict rule at dinner potties ho tool *
soup and roast hecf , but no propaml
dishes ; no desert , exoupt n little ice
cream , and no wino e.ivo dry champagne.
By Elicling dosi'ly to this dietary pro-
ftrani ho could dine out every day in the
week without injuring his digestion. In
those days Bluino waa not a gtoat letter
writer , either ith his own haud or vic
ariously through that of hiu secretary
Ho did not like Uarfield , reply to all the
loltova ho received. Ho URS a great
