\Vna It Nonsense ?
The republican railroguo organ of
Omaha refers to the constitutional proVision -
Vision of the stnto permitting the people
to express their preference for senator as
"nonsensical. " It dubs the popular vole
m such a rase as "utterly worthless and
Impotent" and assures Its few readers
that the law if used will bo "ineffectual
nnd worthless. "
It was to bo oxprclod that thn explo
sion of Senator Van Wyck'.s ' bombshell In
tlio monopoly camp would throw the
railroad cohorts into confusion. The
confession of their dismay is found
in the howl of the Jlcjmblican. The
law passed to carry out the provision of
the constitution was drafted In response
to an overwhelming public sentiment.
The rotors of Nebraska had been repeat
edly sold out by thuir representatives In
the legislature In the choice of a senator ,
Tlio popular will had been dolled and
political tricksters nnd railroad attorneys
had foisted upon the state for thu highest
position in the gift of the people , men
who could not have received a corpoial's
guard of alollowingif they hadsubmitted
their claims for the srnatorsltip to the
proper vote.
The election of Hitchcock was secured
by tliu boldest and most barefaced bri
bery. That of Paddock resulted from a
corrupt combination of the democrats
and the railroad republican. ' ! . In neither
case the popular wish was consulted.
Tliu statute for whoso enforcement Sen
ator Van Wyclc appeals permits the
voters of Nebraska to indicate llio'tr
preference for United Stales senator and
makvs tlio canvass and return of such
votes mandatory upon nil election
olliccrs. Its aim is to leave representa
tives no shadow of an excuse for over
ruling the wishes ot their constituents.
Its intent is to make tlio popular
choice the legislative choice for sen
ator. Its object Is to ilo away
forever with the system which permits
corrupt bargaining at Lincoln to sot
aside the honest preference of electors
freely exprcsscil at the polls.
Kvery trickster who has made a trade
of corrupting our legislatures , every mo
nopoly tool whoso hand has been busied
in distributing bribes at legislative ses
sions , every corporation hireling editor
whoso efforts have been directed to pull
ing the wool over the eyes of voters and
misrepresenting public sentiment , natur
ally shrieks with alarm over a proposal
which will effectually doslroy thuir occu
pation. It is "nonsensical , " "utterly
impotent , " "worthless , " and "under no
circumstances would the [ railroad ] re
publican candidates for senator consent
to have their names used in connection
with so ludicrous a proceeding. "
The public will look at the matter dif
ferently. They will applaud the manli
ness of a candidate who prefers to leave
to tlio people the decision of his claims to
the ollice rather than to follow the devious
paths of the legislative still hunt. They
will approve the moral bravery which in
cites tlic champion to throw down his
gauntlet in the political arena anil chal
lenge his competitors to the gage of bat
tle in the full sunlight ot publicity.
Bayard's Hallucination.
A Baltimore paper which assumes to
bo the mouthpiece of Mr. Bayard , or at
least to rellect the views and feelings of
the secretary of state , continues to rep
resent him as believing that party oppo
nents have exerted themselves to embar
rass the department of state and the ad
ministration in dealing with the Mexican
issue. The Baltimore journal is quoted
as saying that Mr. Bayard and other
officials in his department bitterly com
plain of the treatment received from
those who wish the present administra
tion evil , nnd it is intimated that "repub
licans and former olllcialsof this govern
ment" have been in communication with
tlio Mexican government in relation to
the controversy in a way to render them
atncnablo to the law. In our issue of
Tuesday wo showed the absurdity of
cither party attempting to give this matter -
tor a political complexion , while as to
what was alleged regarding the views of
Mr. Bayard in this particular wo wore
disposed to consider it nothing more
serious than the invention of a corres
pondent. The repetition of tlio state
ment , liowovor , with some additions
and amplifications , seems to remove
nil ground ot doubt that the secretary
of state really thinks that a studied effort
has been made by political opponents to
embarrass him in conducting the diplo
matic controversy with Mexico.
Kvery man of fooling will sincerely
hope that there is no foundation for the
theory advanced to account for this
evident hallucination of Mr. Bayard ,
that ho is breaking down under the
heavy burden of domestio aflllclion and
ollicial and political troubles which have
been heaped upon him during the past
year. And yet it would not bo surpris
ing if such were the case. To have lost by
death a beloved wife and daughter in the
space of a few weeks was of itsoll enough
to have broken the strongest man and
driven him to a refuge of seclusion from
public cares. That Mr. Uayard has
berne up under his heavy bereavement
and kept steadily on in the performance ot
his ollicial task is more remarkable than
would have boon a diflbront result. In
this sorrow ho had tin ; sympathy of all
true men.
With respect , howcror , to the oflicial
cares and political troubles , whatever
they may bo , that harrass the secretary
of state , there isvery little
reason for commissoration. They
are very largely or wholly
of his own making , and mr.y bfl ascribed
to two controlling motives the desire to
reward his friends nail the hope of
strengthening himself for the future.
These are not necessarily unworthy mo-
tlvos , but in the case of Mr , Bayard they
have led him into very serious mistakes ,
and In the Inevitable result of defeating
his chief purpose is doubtless to bo found
tlio source of his prwent unhappy state
of mind. Instead of improving what ho
must have regarded as the great oppor
tunity of his life , he has worse thiin
wasted it by domour.tratlng a want of
judgment and capacity in the direction
whore thosq inwlitio.s would be particu
larly demanded in a wider field of ad-
ministrativc ah I political activity. With
respect to many of the appointments for
which ho is ju tly hold responsible , he has
tfhovrn that Hither ho is uot a good judge
of men or thai personal considerations
wore stronger with him than those touch
ing tlio ellicipncy and welfare of the sur-
vice. In this regard no one of lilu prede
cessors was so Yimcrable to criticism as Is
Mr.Ilayard. This ! the moro romarkabio
and disapuolnticc brcr.uso of lisa long
experience In politics and In public
lifo. Ills administration of the
department has not satisfied the
country for the reason that ho has been
neither sure nor strong In responding to
the demands of nn urgent exigency. His
course with respect to the fisheries con
troversy was characterized first by a con
cession of doubtful lugallty , and there
after by a dilatory nnd shambling policy ,
nnd it seems evident that his lirst step in
the Mexican dilliculty was a blunder ,
which ho is now seeking to rectify with
out further humiliation to the country.
It is not surprising that this accumula
tion of mistakes , which of course carry
with them extraordinary care and trouble ,
should weigh heavily upon Mr. Bayard ,
nor that , realizing how vulnerable * ho Is to
criticism and nttack , and how much
weaker ho now is in popular regard than
ho was when ho became a part of the ad
ministration , ho should fancy that every
movement ho makes calls up some politi
cal opponent eager to nmbarrass and
thwart him.
Tlio IliiRlncsH Situation.
Omaha clearings show that whatever
thu condition of business elsewhere , the
Gate City of the trans-Missouri country
is maintaining her splendid lead of com
mercial growth. Klsowhore the distribu
tion of general niurchandlso is gradually
increasing , though there Is no rush nor
oxcltnment in nny department of trade.
The approach of autumn is causing a
healthful expansion of demand to meet
present and prospective requirements ,
nnd the volume cf trade Is steadily en
larging. Several branches of business
have not yet emerged from the condition
of dullness always incidental to the
period "between Reasons , " but the out
look is brightening in all direc
tions. The hardening of interest rates
cast is an evidence of the improving
condition of trade. Money is going in
larger .sums from eastern Hnuneial cen
ters to the west and south , to assist
in the movement of the crops , and is
finding wider and more profitable em
ployment in the development and exten
sion of various business enterprises In
all parts of the country. The temper of
traders everywhere is cheerful and hope
ful , and the preparation for fall wants
substantially attests the general confi
dence in the prospects for a prosperous
season. Business failures last week num
bered 141 in the United States and 10 in
Canada , or a total of 107 , as against lol
the week before and 103 the previous
week.
The textile markets arc strong. Wool
is moderately active wl th no signs of weak
ening. Mills are generally well employed
on orders , and the delivery movement
absorbs a largo share of the current pro
duction. Now business in package lines
of dry goods is quieter , as jobbers have
stocKcd up pretty freely and are now
waiting for a partial depletion of assort
ments. The jobbing trade , howeverx is
opening up earlier than usual at loading
centres east and west , and already there
is some demand for duplicates from in
terior jobbers. Everything points to a
good general business in dry goods and
allied branches of trade during tlio next
sixty days. The iron and steel markets
are fairly active and generally stronjr ,
with indications of an improving ten
dency in the prices of plate , sheet , tank ,
pipe and bar iron. Manufacturers in
many instances are preparing to increase
capacity in order to meet the expanding
requirements of the trade.
The produce markets remain well sup
ported. Wheat shows a stiffening ten
dency in the face of a liberal movement
of winter grain to all commercial centres
and the expectation of increasing ship
ments of spring wheat. Domestic crop
reports have had little effect on the
market , which has been influenced
mainly by the continued buying of ex
porters and by advices of unfavorable
weather in the United Kingdom. Prices
are 1 } to 2 cents per bushel higher in all
markets as compared with figures cur
rent a week ago. Corn has been neg
lected by shippers except when low rates
of freight oy regular line steamers
have enabled them to fill a few orders.
As n rule the export trade in corn is dull ,
because speculation is holding prices
anoyo a shipping basis. Receipts at
western centers have increased , but
stocks of the better grades have not ac
cumulated at any point , as domestic re
quirements are absorbing the bulk of the
offerings. Crop conditions have not im
proved in some sections and changes for
the worse in others , and the outlook on
tlio whole is not materially different from
that of last wcok. The Price Current
says , in substance , that ten states that
raised throe-fourths of last year's crop
now promise a yiohl of 77 pur cent of last
year's production , or a total of 1,115,000-
000 bushols. The remaining portion of
the country is in a fairly good condition
and will have a crop approximating
450,000,000 bushols.
ONE iiuuDitED and six years ago the
Continental congress appropriated $10,000
for a monument to the memory of the
patriot and hero , Baron Do Kalb.whodid
inestimable service and gave his lifo to
the cause of American independence.
On Monday the monument provided for
more than a century ago was unveiled at
Annapolis , Md. , that being the 100th an
niversary of DoKalb's death and the bat
tle of Camdon. Thn soldier whoso fame
has after the lapse of so many years boon
commemorated in granite and bronze
was ono of the distinguished figures in
the war ol the revolution. Inspired with
the love of liberty ho came to America
with Iwiifayotto and reported to Washing
ton at Philadelphia , His subsequent
career was ono of constant activity in the
fluid , closing with his death at the battle
of Camden , where ho displayed extraor
dinary bravery. Ho enjoyed the confi
dence and esteem of Washington , and lus
memory shares with that of Lafayette a
claim to Ihu homage of Americans ,
THE experience of Atlanta , Georgia ,
with prohibition , which has been in oper
ation there ( iinco July 1 , is thus far anything -
thing but encouraging for the advocates
of that policy. During July there wcro
more arrests , chiolly for drunkenness ,
than during tha preceding month. In
addition to Ibis- fact ono of the papers
makoi the statement that since the law
wont into effect the consequences have
boon scriounly damaging to the material
welfare of the city. It says there is "less
money in the city and state treasuries ;
lass business houses occupied ; less moral
ity ; more drunkenness ; more crimes nnd
criminals ; more poor people out of em
ployment thun over before ; more taxes
pu.1 unou the people ; more extra licenses
imposed upon the merchants , and more
dissatisfaction amonrfnlJ classes of people -
plo than ever has oxOjt. > d before. " A ro-
suit of this oxpcricnoo U the formation
of the Conservative cliibi < nn association
of citizens whoso pnf poio it Is to occupy
a middle ground between the extremists
the prohibitionists and the free liquor
advocates and to seek ito bring about
through a high license system a practical
solution of the Hiluof question ono
which , while not disregarding the moral
considerations so far ; as they may bo
subserved by tlio proper regulation of the
traflie , shall at the suna. time have re
gard for the material Interests of the com
munity. Tlio conservative clement is said
to bo growing rapidly , and it will
test Its strength by putting a full mu
nicipal ticket m the field at the next city
election. The old story ot open and
persistent violations of the law Is ro-
pcatod hi Georgia , and it Is said that the
drift in all Darts of the state Is against
further prohibition.
TIIK answer of Attorney General ( Jar-
land to the bill filed by J. Harris Hogcrs
for si sctllomnnt of the affairs of the 1'an-
Electric Tulophono company , the merest
outline of which is given by telegraph ,
will probably shed some new light on
this interesting controversy that will give
it a fresh claim to attention. There will
undoubtedly bo very llttlo difliciily in es
tablishing the fact that Hogors tricked
the members of the company most un
scrupulously , in giving assurances which
he never intended to carry out ; but ho
may have justified himself on the ground
that several of the individuals duped ,
among them Mr , Giu-land , had no busi
ness In such a connection and did not dc-
serve to bo fairly treated. Convicting
Rogers of being a scamp will not , however -
over , help the case of the gentlemen who
while senators of the United States ac
cepted the stock of the Pnn-Klcatrio
company as the price of their ollicial In-
iluonce , in the expectation that it was to
become immensely valuable , and with
the tacit understanding at least that
they were to give their influence to make
it so. That was a mistake which these
gentlemen cannot explain away , and
which will not bo mitigated by showing
that Hogors wis dishonest.

The stalwart and boodle section of the
republican party stoop to small and con

and mental littleness. Out at Stronis-

sent a telegram to tlio editor of the Head
light requesting a postponement. The
dispatch was received at the Stromsburg
pllico , but was not delivered till next day ,
although the party to whom it was ad
dressed was in the operator's room for
hours after its receipt. The result of this
contemptible trick was the disappoint
ment of scores of people who came to

THE LONDON MAGAZINE.
Famous Dinners nt Which I'roniincnl
Jlen AVui-c I'l-csont.
New York Cntoror : 'J ho London Magn-
y.ino was established in January. IS''O ,
llio publishers being Messrs. Baldwin ,
Craddock and Joy , and its editor Mr.
John Scott , who had formerly edited the
Champion newspaper. Among IU con
tributors worn Charles Lamb and it was
hero that he laid thu foundation of his
fame Mr. lla/.litt , Thomas Curlylo ,
Mr. Do Qttinccy , Allan Cunning
ham , John Hamilton Reynolds.
Thomas Hood , Keats unit
Montgomery ( the pools ) , Walter Savage
Lander , llov. II. F. Cary , and others of
' ote. By the aid of these the magazine
ttoquircd much reputation and a very
considerable sale. Duriiig it career of
live years it had , tor a certain stvlo of
essay , no superior--scarcely an e'qual-
among the periodicals of the day. It
was. perhaps , not so widely popular as
works directed to the multitude instead
of to the select few might have been ; for
thoughts and words addressed to the
cultivated intellect only must always
reckon upon limited success.
On the death of Mr. John Scott , the
magazine. , in July , 1831 , passed into the
hands of Messrs. Taylor and Hossoy ; the
former being the gentleman who dis
covered the identity of "Junius" with
Sir Philip Francis. On assuming man
agement they engaged no editor. They
were tolerably liberal paymasters , the
remuneration for each page of prose
boing. if the writer wcro a person of repute -
puto and ability , 1 ; and for oueh page of
verse 2. Charles Lamb received ( very
liUy ) for his brief and charming essays
two or throe limes the amount of the
other writers.
The proprietors , when they purchased
the magazine , opened a house in Water-
lop place , and it was there that the con
tributors met once a month over an ex
cellent dinner given by the firm , and con
sulted and talked on literary matters.
These dinners were very social , all the
puosts coming with a determination to
please and to bo pleased. J do not know
that many important matters wcro ar
ranged for the welfare of the magazine ,
at these dinners ; but the hearts of the
contributors were opened , and with the
expansion of the heart the intellect wid
ened also. If there had been any shades
of jealousy among them they faded away
bctoro the light ot the friendly carousal ;
if there was any envy it died. All the
fences and restraints of authorship wcro
cast oil' , and the natural human being
was disolosud.
Among others , Charles Lamb came to
most of these dinners , always dressed in
black ( his old amiff-colorcd suit having
boon dismissed for .years ) ; always kiiul
and genial , conversational , not talkative ,
but quick in reply , eating liltlo ai.u
drinking modoratnly with the rest. Al
lan Cunningham , a stalwart man , was
generally there : very Scottish in dialect ,
but ready to do n good turn lo anyone.
His talk was not too abundant , although
ho was a voluminous writer in prose.
His songs are , as everybody knows , ex
cellent. Reynolds caiiio always. His
good temper and vivacity were like con
diments at tlio feast.
There also camu once or twice Kev. H.
F. Cary , the quiet gentleness of whose
face almost interfered , with its real intel
ligence. Yet ho spoke well , and with
readiness , on any subject that he chose to
discuss. Ho was very intimate with
Lamb , wlio latterly often dined vdlh him ,
and was always punctual. "By Cot's
plcssing we will not bo absent at the
grace , " ho writes in 1834. Lamb's taste
was vcrv homely : ho liked trtpti and cow-
heel , and once when lie was suggesting : i
particular dish to his friend he wrote :
ll\Vowcro talking of roast shoulder of
mutton and onion sauce ; but I f corn to
prescribe hospitalities. "
Thomas Hood was there , almost silent
except when ho shot out some irresistible
pun and distributed the. gravity of the
company. Lamb admiral and was very
familiar with him. "What a fertile
genius lie isl" writes Bernard Barton ,
"and quiet withal. " II then expatiates
particularly on Hood's sketch 01 "Very
Deaf Indeed ! " whnroln a footpad has
stopped an old gentleman , hut can not
make him understand what he wants ,
although he is firing a pistol into his ear-
trumpet.
Hn/.litt attended those dinners once or
twice and Do Qulnei-y but ouoo.
