It is not hall BO necessary , however , for it to explain ilo recent strong ondoriomont of Groret Cleveland as it Is tJ explain its bolt ol the republican candidate for mayor. ] THE efTicta of Dr. Miller's visit to Washington are not yet visible to the naked.oyo , but wo expect to hoar at any moment that Dr. Boar and "Ool. " Frank P. Ireland Lave both been appointed United States marshal. Each has a sol emn promise of the placo. SOME of our business men evidently do not appreciate our pavements. They contlnno to dump rubbish and loose pa per * up In the streets , and particularly in the alleys. Now that the alloys arc paved , there is no reason why they should not bo kept as neat and clean ae the streets. Jt MR. J. B. SOUTHARD , the new cltj clerk , haa boon a resident of Omaha foi / " ! many yearn. For aomo tlmo ho has boot deputy county clerk , previous to whlct " ho was in the .postal service. Ho Is it every way qualified to fill the posltiot of county clerk , and will no doubt glv < satisfaction to the public. : GENERAL GRANT continues to astonist the doctors. On Tuesday 'afternoon hi took qulto a walk , from his resldonco tc the center of Sixty-sixth street and Madl son avenue , and return. Ho was accom panied by his son Col , Grant , who , how ever , did not find it necessary to aaaia1 htm in any way. His only assistant wai a canp. Ho exhibited no feebleness , anc his appearance was a pleasant surprise tt thoao who met-him. Tnu city council has passed an ordi nance prohibiting opium joints , am making the penalty a fine of § 5 to $100 or imprisonment for not more thai ninety daye , or both. This la a tiraol ; ordinance , as thuso doas have incroanec to an alarming extent in this city , anc the number of patrons of the pipe I much larger than the public haa an ; ldo of. Now then lot the ordinance b strictly enforced , without any delay. TJIKHK are eovetal city ordinances thn have been allowed to boccmo dead letters tors , owing to the neglect of the officers Ono of thcto ordinances is that whlcl prohibitu the obstruction of streets. N attention whatever , seems to bo paid i It , House movers leave frame houses i ; the middle of a street for weeks at time. Lumber is loft piled up in th atrcoti the year round. Contractorswh are permitted to occupy n portion of th street while they are erecting building ! leave their rabb'sh ' for nceks after building is completed. There Is hardly street iu the city but upon whld there cannot bo found som dangerous or annoying obstructlot This is a matter that deserves the altar tlon of the city marshal , who should ae that the ordlnnno is enforced. A NKIIKASKA CITY paper complain about the lack of courtesy on tbo par ; c the BEE because wo failed to credit th I source whence wo derived cartaiu infoi ) matlon upon which an editorial In thl * paper was based. This only shows who ' queer notions country editors have con . corning editorial courtesy. It la propc and al trays customary to credit origin ! | | articles , letter ) and dispatches which ar | clipped from other papers , but it woul bo the height of absurdity to extend th courtesy BO far as to refer to the lonrce c Inforraatlonupon which thoedltorbaeeahl oplnloui. If that were the case wo woul have to credit the Now York papers fc Inspiration concerning some law propose In the legislature of that state , or th Chicago papora about the Illinois tenatc rial contest , and ao on. WE have received a commnnlcatioi lignod "mauy citizens of the Thir B' ' ward , " calling attention to a saloo | i ' which is denounced aa a resort of thieve and ribbon , and a nulswco which ougt to bo suppressed. We know uothln , about the place , and inasmuch aa th parties do not sign their names we ar unable to judge aa to the reliability c the charge. At the came tlino It la we ! and proper that the marshal , to whoi tbo matter should bo referred , shon ! < make on investigation , and if the salooi Is such a den aa is charged it ought to b immediately closed. The sum of lift ; , _ cents , which accompanied the ctmmnni | J caticn , awaits the order of "Han ; n Citizens , " and unless called for withh the next thirty days at the BEE countinj room it will be donated to the Statute o Liberty podisUl fund , HE CANNOT PKOVE IT. A temperance reformer by the name of lonUguo haa taken it upon himself to ironounco high llconto a failure , and haa gene ao far as to demonstrate to his own atisfaction that there Is more drunken ness in this city and state now than there was before the high license law wont nto effect. Now wo would llko Mon tague , or any other man , to come forward with the proofs. Wo have no desire to ncourago drunkenness and in suppress- ng the evils that spring from intemper ance wo would go just as far as any ra- ional man could go. Wo maintain , lowovor , that high license has boon the moms of very materially decreasing drunkenness. It has done moro to di minish drunkenness in Omaha than any other possible agency could have done , loEB there could have been an entire tupprotslon of the Iqnor drinking habit. When high Iconoo went into effect throa years ago , Dmnlm had 170 siloona with a pop nlation of 35.000. To-d y with a popu- atlon of 55,000 wo have less than 110 aloonn. It is s fo to say that under the 'ormer law wo would have had no loss han 250 saloons. If the theory is correct that ovoty aa- eon affords an incentive to intemper ance then surely wo have diminished the evil of Intemperance by at least ono hun dred per cent. But this is not all. very intelligent and Impartial observer must concede that high license has had ho ofioot of raising the standard of saloons and their keepers. In the first place the law prevents irresponsible bar room loafora from opening saloons. Un der the old system any man who could command $100 , and obtain . keg of beer and a gallon f whisky could start a saloon In Omaha. ! Tow a man must have at least fair credit and an amount of capital that makes him responsible to a certain extant. Ho must tavo a bond signed by bona fide property owners , whereas formerly ho had no bond ; o giveand was not compelled In any way to bo responsible. Under the high llccnio aw the saloon-keeper and his bondsmen are responsible for the damages resulting 'rom the sale of liquors , and especially to minors 'and habitual drunkards. It is only when the present high-license law is not well onforcad that Its benefits are diminished. A rigid enforcement of the law would do away with most of the evils which still remain. Tbero Is no reason , for instance , why the keeper of any low dive or disorderly house should bo able to get licence under any pretext * . It Is entirely optional with the Hcenso board , o grant a license. The board is really .n duty bound to refueo license to any place that Is notoriously disorderly and disreputable. Of course the prohibition ists will respond that all dealers in liquor are disreputable , and that every place where liquor la sold ia a disorderly house. That Is merely a sentimental assertion. The only question for the practical re former and pbilanthropht is what can be done to servo humanity from the most pernicious evils of intemperance ? The repeal of the high license law certainly- will not cause any abatement of those evils , neither will the enactment of a prohibitory amendment to the constltu. tion BO long as prohibition doei not prohibit. Iowa and Kan sas afford examples enough IE that direction. In Council Bluffs and Sioux City , Iowa , thera are more saloom to the population than there are in Oma ha , and they sell more poison than IE dealt ont nndor high license. At the same time they pay nothing but a pop license , and contribute nothing to the public revenues. In Leavcnworth , Kan sas , a city of 20,000 people , there are 150 saloons running with doors wide open and paying nothing but a lemonade license. Wo know this from personal observation. If Mr. Montague desires to make con verts to his temperance vlovra ho is al Hboity ta make any moral plea that hi seco fit , but ho should not demand thi repeal of a qood law until ho can give ui a bettor one. Nebraska has set an example plo In this matter which older states an trying to follow , and although the ! license is cnly about one-third aa mucl as that of Nebraska they tnlck they an achieving a great reform. TUB efficacy of prayer was racentli tried in a Kantas City jury room. Oni of the jurymen indulged in prayer , anc tbo defendant in the case , against when a verdict was given , moved to sob tsldi the verdict on the ground of "undue in flaonco exorcised by ono of the jurymei by moans of public prayer in the ] ur ; room , " The defendant's counsel , whili admitting that there could be no objec tlon to "a prlvato petition to the throm of grace earnestly offered by a consolen tious juror with the motlyo of freeing hi own mind from prejudice and passion , ' but ha strenuourly maintained that i public prayer in such a place was "i horse of another color , " inasmuch a "one long.practlced in the wielding o this subtle Influence can play upon thi feelings and judgment of his weake brother , and the more gifted In prayer i the leader the moro powerful will be hi influence. " Upon this point tha aupremi court of Kansas has been called to de cide , Its opinion haa not yet been an- nonncsd , but it la awaited with a grea1 deal of interest. Perhaps the tupremi court itself will indulge in prayer befori formulating its opinion , OMAIIA ia to be copgr.tulatod npon tb ( return to tkis city of Mr. A , U , Wyman , late treasurer of the United States , Mr Wyman began his career in thii city IE the early daye , Ho was for a time the teller in the Western Exchange and Ma rino Insuranca company's bank , which was situated in the building now occu pied by the United States National bank , and which did a very large business. He ext occupied the position of cashier in ho Omaha National bank , and retained hat place until ho waa appointed treas urer of the United States , ono of tbo moat responsible offices in the govern ment service. Aa the faithful custodian > f Undo Sam's cash box ho haa enjoyed a national reputation , and , with the exception of the late F. E. Spin ner , he haa attached his name to moro paper , representing wealth , than any other man in America. Ho hsa fre quently tignod his name to chocks of 'fom ono to five millions. Mr. Wyman'a resignation was a voluntary act , and ho steps down and ont not only with honor t with the full confidence of Secretary Manning , who regrets his departure. Mr. Wyman would in all probability have aeon retained in the position , had ho de sired to remain thero. Ho had , how ever , contemplated this step for aome tlmo , and wan anxious to make his per manent homo in Omaha. Ho was re cently elected president of the now Linn and Trust company , organized in thle city , and also wss elected vice-president of the Omaha National bank. As an officer of that Institution ho will add ta ts already well-established reputation. A KNOTTY QUESTION. Pom STEKLE , W. T. , April 2D. Will the BEE please decide the following wager : A bets that a child born of American mronts traveling in a foreign country Is oligl- ) lo to the presidency of the United States. beta tbat the child is not eligible , as ho ia not of American birth. J , O , BAIUICB , The above Is a difficult question to anawor. No such case has over occurred , and probably never will , although it Is potalblo. The cinstltntlon of the United States in article II , section 5 , says : "No person except a native-born citizen , or n citizen of the the Uditod States at the : imo of the adoption of this constitution , shall bo eligible tothe , office of president. " Section 1,093 of the statutes ol the United States , nndor the title of "citizenship , " says : "All children aoretoforo born or hereafter born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States , whoso fathers were or may bo at the tlmo of their blrlh cltlzans thereof , are declared to bo citizens of the United States. " Exactly what is meant by the term "natural-born , " wo are not fully prepared to say. According to Wobatei the synonym for natural ia "native , " and this would load one to conclude that a natural-born citizen IB ono who is born on the soil of the United States. That would bo native-born. The children of Americana traveling In foreign country are foreign-born , but the statutes , above quoted , make sucli children citizens of the United States. But are they citizens eligible to the presi dency ? Are they "natural-born" ac cording to the constitution 1 Wo are , however , Inclined to the belief that n child , born under the circumstancee stated , Is eligible to the presidency , and ouo of the mcst eminent attorneys in this part of tbo country , is of tha same opiaion , although he admits , as wo do , that It Is an open question. Under the circumstances wo cannot positively decide the bet. Incidentally , It might bo well to state that the sons of ministers pleni potentiary and consuls born abroad arc eligible to the presidency , because the diplomatic headquarters and consulate ! aro'nndor the American flag and are re garded as domiciles for Americans , thn ! making their residence there equlvalenl to a residence on American soil. THE American Bell Telephone com pany has petitioned the legislature oi Massachusetts for authority to Increase its capital from ten to thirty millions ol dellars , on the ground that the money IE needed to stretch now wires for long-dis tinco telephoning. Whatever reason the Boll telephone company may glvo foi this remarkable inflation , the public wil ! regard it as nothing more nor lesa that a gigantic stock-watering job for the benefit of the original stockholders , whose stock has already been Inflated frorr $100.000 to § 10,000,000 , un Increase of i hundred fold , and they now want an In crease of three hundred fold. It Is n < wonder thbt the chief manipulators in thi Bell telephone company have grown 1m monssly rich In a few years. Now that the Missouri Pacific , Wabash - bash , Chicago & Alton and Burllngtoi lines have entered the railroad frelgh war , and have cut rates from St. Loui to Omaha and Council Bluffs , the figu has become decidedly interesting. Mean tlmo the merchants In this part of th country are taking advantage of the reduced ducod rates. In all probability the figh will bo compromised In a day or two , a it is too disastrous to the railroads to lat much longer. The benefits derived fron tuoh a war are only temporary to th shipper , and upon the whole are no very profitable , aa tuch variable rates which are liable to ba abandoned at an ; hour , unsettle commerce. AOAIN wo are led to remark that it 1 an ill wind that blows no ono good. J Troy knit-goods man la congralulatlnj himself that tha rumors of war botweoi Rustii and England brought to him ai order for 25,000 nndorihirti to keep thi Russian warriors warm.

WK take It all back. Dr. Miller hai not been to Washington lo consul ! Grover Cleveland. The hungry denv ocraoy therefore must hold themselves In patience for a few weeks longer.

"Tho fashion in jo trolry about once a year undergoes a decided change , ' ' said a jeweler In Broadway to a New York Mail and Express reporter. "These changes first take place In Paris , and a few months after roach America. " "What Is the popular style In jewelry no < v ? " ' 'Rabies are the most fashionable cf all , cms that sro worn now In profusion , but In moderate display. At evening parties the ladles who follow the fashion generally wear a small diamond and ruby tot together. The effect cf the two brill- iuita blending is beautiful , Of courao after the ruby comes the diamond in favor. It will never grow less in popu larity. Immcnsa sized diamonds are con sidered vulgar to woar. and the small ones have the run. Pcatls , sapphires and emeralds are worn mora than usual. In the flash timea immediately after the war none but diamonds wcro fashionable , but the tisto has changed of late yuan and other gems are considered beautiful and stylish. Some of the lace pins for ladies ate of exquisite design and have Imbedded In them diamonds , pearls , and other gems , The most popular designs are those of birds , ihweis , crescents , and epldors. In bracelets those made of links and joints set with various kinds of stones have superseded the old style of bands.
