Any re- Hpootatjlo candidate would be preferable to Church Ilowo. His nomination means n dead give away. Tire Uurlington road reports an in crease of half a million in earnings , the greater portion of which is credited to the 1 $ . i * M. In Nebraska. A largo sum will doubtless bo sot aside for dirty pol itical work hi tlio coming fall campaign , umlor the supervision of such active dis- burscrs as Cap Phillips and Tobo Castor , Hii'tii.iCAit : ] loaders express strong hopes of greatly decreasing , if they do not entirely overcome tlio democratic majority in congress tit the next session. Tlio question over which Nebraska re publicans should ponilor is , whether they Can allbrd to lose the first district by placing Church Howe in nomination and running him to certain defeat. TIIKUK in a very pronounced demo cratic opposition , led by the L'hiladolphia Record , to the Kandall maoluno in Penn sylvania , which not only puts republican success in that state beyond all doubt , but justilios expectation that tlio republi can majority may bo even larger than two years ago. This opposition repre sents the element in the party which is in favor ol revenue reform , ami holds Ran dall responsible ! for having betrayed the party with respect to thlo principle. Another motive of the opposition Is to re. provo the inlluonco of patronage which was employed by Randall to carry his plans , and In this respect it is a deliber ate rebuke of the administration. It looks very much as though the obnoxious maoluno will issue from the contest badly shattered. DOUOI.AS county Is vitally intonated in tlio work of the next legislature. As ihe leading county of the state contain ing the leading city of Nebraska the Douglas county delegation is expected to sound the key note of municipal legisla tion , and draft tlio laws which tlio rapid growth of Omaha demands to : ild and control its expansion. It is of the high est Importance that the men selected to represent this county in the legislature should bo brainy , honest and ollieleut men. A do/on subj-cls ( if great interest to our people will comu up for adjudica tion. The extension of the oily limits , changes iu the revenue laws whioh will permit a proper nssassinent , legislation that will force the railroads to hear their shnro of city taxation , changes iu our charter to render it morn elastio and bettor adapted to the increasing roquirumonts of muni- olpal growth , these and many other ques tions must bo handled and presented in such n manner as to secure thdr passage na K/meral Jaws. Kvory nUixen of the county owes it to himself to see thut Omaha nnd Donghu county sontls a delegation which will bo credit to the Bounty anJ u bouelit to the entire stato. They Don'r Mkc It. Nothing so dlsgxl.Ma the political barna cles and shysters who run with thrrail - rogun gnng as the task of supporting candidates on their records. Inthcrjes of the Church Howes , Lairds and Valen tines this is rank treason In thnir judg ment a party nomination is a sponge which wipes out all previous crimps against party or society and gives the candidate an nna.ailablc claim on party conhdptifc. Unfortunately for Nebras ka , bo'h ' political parties have been for years controlled by hireling seoundrels , who eared only for party be cause its endorsements assisted in lilling public olliees with Iho tools of cor porate monopoly. The revolt against the railroad bosses luis been steadily gaining ground , and the announced in tention of thousands of republicans and democrats to vote only for candidates whose record is clear is an evidence of the failing power of the monopoly thim- bleriggers. The records of the past are the only assurance of performance in the luturo. The men who sold out their con stituents in the last and In previous leg islatures are the candidates who , if elected , will betray their trust in the next. The pliant tools of the railroads of two years ago will bo eappera of tlio monopoly again whenever their services can bo se cured. In demanding a search of the records of candidates tliu hone.st voters of Nebraska are remlc : fug the highest serv ice they can to their party. The time has gone when yellow ilogs and mongrel curs can be elceted to any ollico , however responsible , provided they bear the tag of a nominating convention , Party suc cess is now largely dependent upon the individual honesty of party candidates. Vanto by Fire. If Mr , CHIYord Thompson , who writes in the current number of the t'orttin , is to be believed , the direct lo.ss by lire in this country is nioro than irlOO,0&0,000 an nually , while the whole waste amounts to throe times that sum. In 187(5 ( , the total number of tires was 0J01 ! , and in 183o , M,114. While from 80 to 1)0 ) per cent of all lires that occur arise from prevent able causes , from 33 to 50 per cent are of incendiary origin. "The defective Hues , ' ' to use his language , "tho badly construc ted furnaces , the accumulation of waste material , the careless tossing about of matches , half-burned cigars and cigaret te ? , and the packing in small compas of goods liable to spontaneous combustion , together with the dangers arising from steam boilers , electric lights , illuminating gas , kerosene oil , and explosives of many kinds , combine to make the ordinary place of business in largo cities full of peril to the property contained therein , if not to the lives of the oc cupants. " At a recent convention of ( Ireengineers held at Providence , R , I. , Mr. Osborn Howes , jr. . secretary of the JJoston Hoard of Fire Underwriters , ex plained the method adopted by that board to lesso.i tlio dangers from lire. One year ago the central part ot the city was divided into sections , cacii of which was under the charge of an inspector , who visited manufacturing and mercan tile establishments and reported their condition. If dofeuts were discovered , the owner or oceuplor was asked to rem edy them ; and if he refused , his rate of premium was raised DO per cent. The result wis tmt | within the year 1,000 buildings were put in better and safer condition. During that time tliei-o was also n marked diminution in the number of tires in those districts. H0l'o in Omaha , notwithstanding our lira and building ordinances , hundreds of buildings are erected every J'uill1 WhlcU are mere lire traps. Brick walls are the best preventives of conflagration by con tact from neighboring buildings , but they" are of little use when used as covers fern n forest of scantlings and board parti * tions insulo. An soon as our people learn from experience that In buildings as in so many other things the best is the cheapest , and that lire proof blocks soon pay for themselves in decreased insur ance and the increased rents which they bring to their owners , wo shall see fewer veneered fire traps and inflammable shells erected in our business streets and in the best residence portion of the city. Tlfo Forestry Concrcsn. The annual sessions of the Forestry Congress thu sixth of which convenes at Denver this wuok merit more attention than is usually accorded them. This is probably beeauso the results they seek to accomplish are not so well understood as they should bo , while progress toward their attainment has seemed to bo ex tremely slow when tholr great import ance is considered. The blumo lor popu lar apathy and slow advancement can not , however , bo charged to the congress. It appears to have done all that was DOS- siblu to educate the public to a full com prehension of the forestry question , and to enlist the interest and support of congress - gross anrt the legislatures of the states in behalf of measures for restoring the for ests of which a large area of th < j country has boon denuded , and for preserving those that remain from wholesale de struction. Hut when congress , as at thu last session , appropriates to the forestry division of the agricultural department only $10,000 , while it gives $115.000 to botany and pomology , t)7,000 ? ! ) to silk worms and other insects , $33,030 to ex perimental gardens , and more than $100- 000 each to sorghum and seeds , the ollccl Is not only discouraging to these who are devoting their time and oll'ort and money to the tank of educating pub- lie sentiment andindueinggeneral action in this matter , but detracts from the char acter and merits of tlio task , The nfforta of the congress have been very far from fruitless , however. It has disseminated a great deal of accurate knowledge on this subject , ban awakened wide-spread recognition of its import ance , and whllotho interest is not so gen eral and earnest as could be wished , it is still very much greater and stronger than would have been possible without the at tention ottlled to it and the work per formed by this congress. From the study unit investigation of this subject which it has evoked , n great addition has been made to what is recognized as sciontillo truth concerning thu inlluonco of forests upon climate , the retention of moisture and the maintenance of equably llowing streams , Incorrect theories have been eliminated , and facts have been carefully demonstrated , so that there may bo said to have been developed during the past few years almost a new knowledge regarding the cllmntlo and other Inlln- unces of tori'sls. There ia excellent reason , therefore , why tlio Forestry ( Jon- should bo cominuudoJ for what it has thus far accomplished and encour aged to continue IU work. It may be hoped that by persistence it will in time arousn the national congress to a sense ot the merits of this question , although it can have no relation to politics , and induce that body to take n more liberal view of what is required than is shown in the parsimonious appropriation of § 10,000. Tlio Cnii o of A local Professor Vennor writes to in form us that we are mistaken in our ideas about the cause of earthquakes and tells us that these natural phenomena are the result of great electrical disturbances in the bowels of the earth , Hoquoles Hum- boldt as noting marked electrical appear ances coincident with earthquake shocks and assumes for him that electricity was Ihe cause of the convulsions.Vith all duo respect for Professor llumboldt and hh Omaha admirer , the best seientilic opinion is agreed that electricity has nothing whatever to do with earthquake manifestations. Science has been devoting much attention to the subject of seismology e.ver since the destruction of Lisbon in 17f > r > , but it is only within a few years that it has been able to speak with any conlidenco or precision on the sub ject According to Profes.ior John Milne , whose recently published treatise on earthquakes in Apple-ton's Sclentilie series , is the latest and perhaps the best authority on the subject , an earthquake may be described as "tin uncompleted effort o esl-iblisli a volcano. " The theory now generally accepted is that the con vulsion is caused by the internal crumb ling of the earth's erusl , duo toils grad ual contraction from loss of heat. The interior of the earth is a great mol ten mass. The plunge of a solid body into this cauldron of lire creates a dis turbance which starts waves in all direc tions. Hundreds of centuries ago when the tires wuro fiercer and the crust thinner than now , thc.se shocks beating against the inner surface of tlio crust split it and forced flames , rocks and streams of melt ed matter through the seam .into the atmosphere. A few of these volcano vents still remain in use , great chimneys in nature's laboratory , but they huvo gradually diminished in number , "and now , " us Professor Milne says , "instead of burstimr the frail shell of the earth , nature contents herself with an uneasy knocking on the walls of her prison. " Until instruments were devised to regis ter the slightest of these disturbances , it was not imagined that they wore very frequent. Ouo careful student catalogued all recorded earthquakes up to 18. 0 and gave the total as about 7.0JO. Hut moro delicate observations prove that the earth's surface is constantly in a tremor , and Prof , Milne says it is impossible- oven guess at the frequency of what may be properly denominated earthquakes ; "perhaps tlicro may bo ten a day , p"r- haps 100. " In Japan , a country peculi arly liable to these shocks , his instru ments recorded an average of three or four u day. Hut , fortunately . it , is only at rare intervals that nature does more than faintly grumble in her cell. AfirlcMiltun ; In Now I3nf > ln > il. ! After having seen some rather cheerless - loss reports and pessimistic forecasts re garding the condition of agriculture in Now England. It is very gratifying to come across an address of Dr , Coring , ex-commissioner of agriculture , which puts u wholly dllVeront lace on the sit uation. Speaking at the opening of tlio Now England fair at Hanger last week , Dr , Loring presented an array of htalis- tics showing that agriculture in that section is in admirable condition , and his generalizations Wove pf the most encour aging character. The figures' giWc ,1'Vi- ' donee that the 187,253 farms of New Eng land are yielding a good return to those who cultivate them , while tlio business of farming there has been brought to an almost perfect system consistent with the conditions and requirements of the country. "The .New England farmer , " said Dr. Loring , "has learned that tlio market for his corn is essentially injured by the cheaper crops and easy transpor tation ot the went , and he raises it as a subsidiary only to his other crops and for hnmo consumption. The Haruo is true of his wheat and oats. Ho has learned that a well managed dairy will pay ; that bis cows will make a fair return by the sale of milk for immediate use in the market ; he has learned the value of an acre of land devoted to market gardening ; ho finds his orchards a profit able attachment to his farm when prop erly located and wisely selected ; ho has ascertained that his hay not only const- ! thtcs the foundation ot his farming , but that it also llnds a ready market not far from his door. Ho confines himself therefore to the.so crops and leaves the production of beef , pork , corn and wheat to cheaper land and more propitious skies. The decadence of iMow England farming therefore means that the farmers of thcso .six slates have learned their business and understand what land to occupy and what crops to cultivate and what to abandon and avoid. " It was an exceedingly entertaining picture that Dr. Loring presented of tha thrift and comfort to bo f-een on every hand a picture of "well-tilled fields , well-ordered buildings , well-arranged fences and well-to-do people" which is in most happy contrast to that drawn by sonia who it would seem misrepresent the farmers of New England as a sadly overworked , ill-requited class , doomed to hard and unprofitable toil in the present , and without hope in the future , Undoubtedly there are many farmers in Now England whoso toll brings them inadequate - adequate reward and whoso situation and prospects are hard and gloomy , but such are to bo found in the mo t favored localities , and quite generally the trouble will bo found in themselves rather than in tiieir surroundings. Failure in this as in all other departments of human activity is moro often duo to lack of capacity and litness in the individual than to adverse circumstances or want of opportunities. In Now England , as elsewhere , the farmer who brings to his work intelligence , sound judgment and business tact , rarely llnds thu conditions so unfavorable to him that ho cannot make his labor yield him a fair reward. TUB railroguo democratic organ frankly admits that it is strongly in favor of Church Howe's nomination in the First district because under such circum stances the democracy will have a walk away. Of course they will. The question is whether republicans propose to throw away a congressman in the coming fail elections. Alexander Ixllcntlon , In announcing hi abdication from the throne of United Hulgaria , Prince Alex ander simply yields to the Inevitable. His resumption of authority and the maintenance of his principality as a neutral territory wore only possible through the strong npport of the great powers. That support has been refused. In the eye.s of Hisiuarek , the fate of the young ( lonnan prince was n trilling mat ter compared with the peace of Europe. As the arbiter of European politics the Iron Prince decided , that Alexander must bo sacrificed' Austria and Turkey loooked through the same glass and Russia has accordingly won this day.Tho The fall of Alexander is n triumph for Russian diplomacy. With Do ( tiers , the question was simply whether lul- ! garia should bo united and an indepen dent power or a Slavic dependency. To bring around the latter condition Russia has adopted every means that stateerail or intrigue could Miggest. The key to the Balkans will once moro pass under Russian control , and the highway to Con stantinople will run through the terri tory ruled by the creatures of the cxar , and ready to open a free passage for his armies to the golden gates of the Hos- phoriis. This outcome ot the treaty of Berlin is particularly mortifying to England. The creation of the independent Balkan states by the i natory powers to that in strument was considered an overwhelm ing deleat to Russian intrigue. With the union of the two Bulgarlas under a Her man prince , Slavie aggression was be lieved to have received a permanent check. Hut what Russia failed to secure in open discussion and diplomatic debate she has gamed by methods peculiarly her own. By inciting insurrec tion among Alexander's followers and fomenting discord in his capital Siho paved the way for the assertion of her historic right to a protectorate over Slavic Bulgaria and made the issue one of a general Euiopean broil or the sacri fice of Alexander.Bismarck , as always tlio moving power in continental comnio lion , cast tlio lated die. There are well authenticated reports that the price paid by Russia for Ins consent was nothing less than the breaking off of all negotiations for a Russo-Franco alliance. By one stroke Bismarck again isolates his old enemy across the Rhine and poses at the same time as the conservator of Eurupean peace. TUB government printing office at Washington is the most cxt'Misivo estab lishment of its kind in the world. The number of its employes approximates four thousand , the majority of course being printers. It has always boon a channel through w'hlcli congressmen dis tributed more or less | ) atronago , and not being subject to civil service rules oilers a means for the Juvslowal of partisan favors on a quite liberal .scale. The. ap pointment of a d'e mob rat and a > cw York democrat at lmt----to ) the control of this oiliye , is conscfl.ue.iUly giving a good deal of uneasiness to'i incumbents , nnd there will undoubtedly bo numerous changes.

A tarred tramp supposed to bo a luna tic or "wild man , " is scampering over the prairies near Hurtington , scaring women and youngsters , The only cover ing on his daubed person is a lingo blanket , with the word "Harmony" in scribed on Its folds. The unfortunate loon is evidently bound for Hastings and the democratic convention , Next to a circus , n train of cars possesses the greatest interest for the small boy. The number of youngsters maimed or planted uuilor thn willnwH doet ; iiot uoiur the rising generation from toying with death and car whooU , The latest victim is a son of Patrick Hickov , of Fremont. Ho was playing on the Hat cars of the Klkhorn Valley construction train Satur day evcniii' ' ' , tripped and fell under the wheels. His left log was frightfully mangled and was amputated ut the Knee. Ho was alive at last accounts. The rcnortcd outrage of throe woniuii near Atoii. on tlio 2'Jth ' , is thus explained away by the Crolghton Transcript ; "A ( Set-man anil thieoladies were after plums and their team became frightened and ran away , throwing the ladies out and leaving them insutibiblo. Some Indians t ok them up and carried them homo , and the man of the party went to Yank- ton after a physician , telling him aomo- thing in an excited manner , in his broken Knylish about Indians and ucwdent , which caused the rumor of the outrago. The parties are getting along all right and will soon bo about again , The PJattsmouth Journal reports a case of brujnllty by a young husband that calls loudly for the institution of public Hogging. U is n ra o wherein a young man who has hardly been married a year boat his young wife , who is said lo bo delicate health , in such a manner that his blows and her appeals wore distinctly heard bv the neighbors , who wore nf- ready aware of the husband's propensi ties ill that direction. Neighbors who are intimately acquainted with ( ho fam ily affairs of this couple say that no woman ran be mnro devoted to n hus band than the woman in question to hers , and one neighbor gives fair warning that if the husband ever again atleinpus the cowardly feat there will be something heard to drop in tli-.it vicinity. September 23 will bo the red letter page in Broken How's history. "On that day * ' says an cnlliusinstis local chroni cler , "there will arrive from Chicago a mammoth excursion train , lilted wit in the most elaborate style over before at tempted by the great ( ' . B. & Q. railroad company. This excursion is being or ganined for the express purpose of giving a free rule to the hundreds who desire to see the ( Jem of thu Loup , Broken Bow , about which the whole world has heard and read so much. Buil'alo , elk , deer antelope and oxen will bo roasteil and the programme throughout will bo on the same elaborate scale.1 Out on the Union Pacific , near the. Wyoming line , He/.ekiah Williams was horribly maimled by a runaway team last Thur.sday. The animals were fright ened by an approaching train and dashed across the track. The hind wheels of the wagon were caught by the engine and smashed. The shock threw the farmer ahead like a bullet. lie fell between the horses , who set oil'on a mad run across the rough prairie. Their master had fall en well forward and was entangled in the check reins and neckyokestrap , llosuc- ceeded in getting a linn hold on the lat ter , and was dragged along , sometimes oil'tlio ground and sometimes on it. A live minutes run brought the horses to the edge of a deep ravine , along which ran a bristling lodge of rock. The side of this ledge being rapidly approached by the Hying and infuriated steeds , was n solid wall , Kome ten feet in height. The ( light was directly toward this beetling wall anil it was struck with terrilio force. The skulls of both the horses were cracked like egg shells. The hqad of the unfor tunate farmer was caught between the wall and the neckyoke to which he was clinging and he was instanly killed. The neckyoke was imbedded its full thickness in his skull. Iowa Itomq. Burlington is figuring on a bridge to be built oyer the Mississippi. The oil well lately discovered at New ton has proved to be a "salted1' fraud. It eo.sl $3.010 to support the home for the feeble-minded at ( flenwood during the month of August. They have another Cardiff giant on ex hibition at Dos Molnes. It'is claimed that the defunct turned to stone about two thousand years ago. The Harrison county supervisors are about to oiler a reward of $ n,000 for the discovery of coal in paying quantities within the limits of that county. A temporary injunction has been granted by the circuit court of Mason county to rostrum the DCS Monica univer sity from removing any of the property from the I'ella university , which , nndor the terms of the consolidation of the two schools , should bo brought to DosMomos , Much opposition to the plan of removal has developed. A Waterloo physician recently per formed a queer surgical operation on an old lady aged oighty-threo years , residing a few miles from the oit He removed from the back of her head a small horn which resembled very much the linger of a child. Indeed a brother physician thought it wan a linger , and pointed ott what ho supposed to bo joints. This horn caused a terrible pain and the lady suH'ored with it very much , Ottumwa has also had adoseot tramps , On Wednesday the police of that city made a raid on Appanoose island , lying near the town in the DCS Moines river , and under the leadership of Marshal Wil liams Mirroundod and captured fifteen hard characters , The tramps opened lire on the oilicers as they approached , but it was returned in a manner that in dicated the campaign to be an exceedingly earnest one and they discreetly surren dered. Dakota. The fall term of the Mitchell university Will begin September 22. The street cars at Huron wcro put In motion for the llrst time September 2 , Ua'i ' olil llnds spine consolation in being out of the mlioil fronl the fact that for that reason they escaped the late earth quake. ( } . A. Moody and Jacob Webb , county commissioners of Roberts county , and .1. II. Long , tlio county treasurer , have been arrested charged with forging ijlt.000 in county warrants. Their hear ing will bo hold on the -1th hist. , when startling developments are expected. Rapid City papers declare that the country thereabouts will distance Ne braska , Iowa and Illinois as a corn grow ing district , while in the little mutter of pardon truck the rest of the world pales and glimmers in comparison. Evidence to back these loud claims are nine-foot corn stalks , cabbages too largo for a barrel , twelve-pound rutabagas , seven- pound potatoes , eighteen inch turnips and 100-pound pumpkins. Watermelons are raised over the fence and cantelopcs are two common to mention , Flrnnioii 31 ii t Wear Uniforms.
