Kenna found lihusclt with nothing t tlrawupon. A campaign book was oneo Iho first demands , for It was the only wa ; I that under tbo civil service laws money couli ' 5m ralged.

" Mr. Kcnnn's next effort was Ui Issue of a financial statdiio.it of a vagu character , such as ho had been done In forme times by the republican committee. Hi neglected to state , however , whether It wa the view taken by Mr. Morrison or the om endorsed by the administration , and In i couple of days some meddler picked up tin inoiithly debt statement and showed that : better state of things financially would Imvi existed It n small boy had been put in tin treasury department to sweep out und casl checks that Imd reunited from the "manage nient" so hlchly landed.

" Ho places the ninoiin lost nt a little over 91'J,000UOO , mm in thli ho includes every disputed account every apparent liability , every unsettla k judgment in which even the debtor hlmscl has not yet iieard the amount duu from him Gelt to the government , and then adds to I ulleuatlons and charges made by Intcrcstcn parties whether it appears upon tlio books o : the government or not , Ilo neglects to com pare tlui iHM'contago of these dtretectlons dnr Ing republican rule with those under provlom domocnitlR administrations , nnd has left his whole statement so full of tlnws that it Is al ready being picked to pieces. Three dayi utter its issue ho was compelled to cuter at explanation , nnd it seems us If it would re null n his whole time for this purpose.

Let a former prominent resident and a popt lar democratic loader of the stato. lie it was , who c testimony given before th legislative committee that Investigate Iho llowe-l'alrick ease , proved so coi clusivcly that Church was not orthodo In the matter of honesty. Mr. Lett ha hoard that ONcerptSjfrotn his tcslimon hud been published in the Hr.i : , but neve saw the nrtlele until yesterday mornin wlion he 'arrived at the Capital hole Subsequently ho met the redoublabl Church , candidate for congress , anil wii surprised at his exlra show of cordialitj They breakfasted together , and notwitl Btan'ding the fact that Howe know fu well the damaging evidence against hit mibhrthe.d in the Bt'i : , and the fact thi : it was taken nom Iho recor of Mr. Lull's testimony he never rcferrc to it nor indicated by action or word c appearance that any such thing wi : already in the possession of every rcnc iug man in Nebraska , and nuiueroii places outside the stato. Meeting Mr. Lett Inst night n report c of the HKIJ learned the foregoing fact ; and also many other points going to shoi the bra/.en character of HoWo. "You have read the KKK articles o Howe's candidacy ? , ' was asked. ' 'Oh , ves. The last one I saw for th first time this morning. " "Your testimony was correctly put llslied , was It not1 ? * "Yes , sir , every word of it. " "Your statomonls tire as true to-day a they wore then , Mr. Lett ?

" "Have you anything further lo sav o the subject ? " "Ob , no. 1 am out of politics and Itav been for some years , ami I have no Intel est in Church llowo's fights now. 1 think however , Mr. Barker's evidence in thn investigation was the most damaging o all. Down in old Nomaha there ar many atlldaviU that Church Howe ha heard road , which perhaps he would nc like to have made public , now that hi operations are in a larger political liold. Air. Lett took the overland train fo Colorado , where ho has charge of th stone department of the Union Pacill railway. Ho seemed desirous , like al old Nebraskans who know Howe's rae record , to banish it from mind nnd sa very little about the man or his mci sures. Traveling Guns. There is only one thing of equal sin priso to seeing the Hon. Charles II Dewey getting on a train , and that is hi getting oft' . His presence seems as ncccs sary to the complete equipment of n firsl class train as a I'ullman palace cai Last evening when the overland froi the west pulled in , among the first t alight was the great Omaha travoloi The reportorial instinct knew at one that there was some news in the ah either personal or general , for the Hon Charles II. always travels in prominoii company.

The latter two hnv been on a big hunt north of Grand Is land , and report a good time , althoug ] the pot-hunter had evidently been amom the chickens before the legal timo. General oral MeCook and Colonel Hawkins re mamed over to dine with Air. Shclbj Messrs. Morton and Kirko went to th Club for luncheon , and Air. Dewcy ox ctised himself from the party in order ti meditate on the good time ho had amoiij the veterans at Grand Island , and t think how soon it would bo that ho wonli bo an oyo-witncss of French militar ; movements on the Champs do Alars. The Middlo-Wclxht Giants. Yesterday report reached this cit , that Al Marx , who Is in training to bo Michael Fitzgerald on the 8th instant hai been thrown from a Imgey and scriousl. injured. Notwithstanding the raii Colonel Forbes hitched up hie eli Dexter , and drove out to Marx' training quarters. Ho found tha the "Texas Cowboy" had boon throwi out of a buggy as reported , but ho hai sustained no injury vhatovcr , but on th contrary was in the very best of condi tion. Ho is confident of his ability ti down the young Irishmen , and as ho ha the "hurricane lighting" tactics and i several pounds heavier than Fitzgoralt ho will undoubtedly make things live ! for Michaol. The hitter came up from Bellevue las night to order a now boll ; the star am stripes above the green. Ho looks like i young giant , and as ho expects to hav. . a match In Chicago very soon and has ti return to Utah to fight Jack Murphy , i Uocky mountain champion , ho says hi wishes his match with Marx was to conn oil'nt once. Fitzgerald depends inainl' ' on his science for victory on the 8th , ani scorns to have no fear ot the result.

Our ninrtliiovleh. A Chlr.igo man named Maitltiovlch , wl : says ho is a native of MoiitencKi'o and \vi born about uluhtcen miles from Solia In Uu irnria , tells the Chicago papers that Prim Ale.\nndt > r Is really very unpopular nmon the lltilgarlaus , who are full of pratltudo t Kiissla. It Is only uocessaiy to observe tin Sofia Is more than two hundred miles froi the nearest point on tlio Montenegrin hoi der. der.In In a matter of so momentous linpor mice it is well that the truth should li known. Alartinovich Is not a Clncagoat Ilo belongs to Omaha. Hero his voracit has never been questioned , Neither hav his opinions. Thn one IIIIH always bee respected und the other have nlwaj boon soucht by a knowledge-thirst world. . The fact that Marilnoviuh wr born not nearer than two hundred mile to the Montenegrin border in no wise ii capacitates such a man as ho from o : iiresslnjj an opinion as regards the popi larity of Prince Alexander , the more ci pcclally so that thousands of , and not tw hundred miles , separate him from Iho lau of his birth.

While payincr a visit to the railroa ofTieos yestcrdsy a reporter for the BE had the pleasure of witnessing a mo ; excellent device for the accommodatlo of passengers in getting on and off th ulatforms of railway coaches. It is s arranged that a brnkumnn can , befor leaving the platform , pull a lever , ci after stopping down on the ground tur a small crank" , which will cause an adu tional step to extend down from undei neath the Jo\vest permanent stop ani about equally divide the distance be tween the ground and the regular ate ) thereby making it more convenient fo passengers , especially ladies , to get o and on" the cars with some degree ol eon : fort. The device is simply constructed and in point of safety , durability nn cheapness of construction seems to carr its own recommendation.

When IK absence became prolonged beyond reasonable time , anxiety suggested search , but notwithstanding the fact tin all places where she might have visit o andjill the outgoing trains wcro vvatchei no tidings of the missing one wore fouiu There is a vein of sensation in tills iHsiq pcnranco. Some thrco years ago tli Kev. Mr. UamtnlJl adopted tli little girl with the full coi sent of her mother , who was loft a wldo' in very poor circumstances in New Yor City and with six children to care foi Her husband was an extensive dry good merchant in the metropolis , anil while o a visit to the Montreal ice carnival i 18S2 lie contracted a cold which deve oped into pneumonia , which resulted fr tally. After his death it was diseox-oro that all his money had been invested i his business , and further oxamlnatio showed that there were no assets whai over for the widow and children. It wa at this time the Rev. Mr. Ilamnnl teethe the child , Fannie , and provided her wit the best of homes , in which ovorythin that ail'ection could suggest was pr < vided for the Httln one. The niothu seemed overpleased that her daughtu had such preseutgood fortune and Jutur bright prospects. Sometime afterward she visited her child and was n joiced to see how contented sh was in her happy home. Tli mother subsequently remarried a ma by name of Edwards and moved to Kan sos City. Hev.

Hoas Ueoply grieved n Mrs. Edwards' action , if slio really ha spirited the child away , especially is In us willing to 'submit the question o vrhich home is the better one for tin child to any selected friends of boll parties. There is a bare possibility tha the disappearance of the little girl ma ; bo attributed to some other cause , bii there is very little foundation for an' other theory than abnetion. The pres unt husband of the mother is said to b opposed to having the child back oven i the mother should wish it.
