Now for a lirbt class county hospital
nnd asylum.
Mit. SIMKUAI , comes out of the contest
for county attorney with n substantial
majority.
WITH Morrison , Carlisle ami Ilewitl
out of congress , democratic brains in the
next house will bo at a heavy discount.
Cinnion Howu threatens to contest n
7,000 majority on the ground tliat icpub-
llcanscouhl not bo kept trom scratching.
IT i ? a solid democrat board of county
commissioners. There will bo no excuse
for a divided responsibility in the man
agement of county affairs.
Tin : first oH'ccls of monkeying witli
prohibition are somewhat startling to
republicans. If the lesson is well learned
it lias been cheaply bought.
Tun last legislature contained thirty
democrats. The next will have not more
than forty. Prohibition and Church Ilown
are responsible for the gain of ten votes
whioh , in a total of 133 , is by no mcuns
alrming.
_ _ NKiirtASKA farmers had their first fnit
chance at the man who sold out the
grange and they took full advantage ol
it. The farmers' and workingmon's vote
alone was almost suuicient in number to
elect McShnno.
DOUGLAS county workingmen are to be
congratulated upon their honest labor al
the polls for good government and the
republican party. They proved that in
dignnnt labor can wield an effectual
weapon against its enemies and in do.
fcnse of its friends.
TUB Hon. William H. Morrison , oi
Illinois , will not be present in the llftiotl :
congress. The interests of the distiict he
now represents will bo cared for by Mr ,
Jehu linker , who is not without expert-
once in this line , having once before do
foaled Morrison. The latter will be very ;
greatly missud by thu larill' reform dom
oorats , but his defeat will doubtless be
gratifying to thu Uandall wing of the
party , which did all it could to destroj
his influence in congress and depreciate
his ellbrts before the country. Morri
son's defeat is a damaging blow to his
political hopes for thu future.
r.r.oitoi : L. MII.I.KU has had a good
deal to say. about "tanned hides" during
the past week or so. Wu shall taku
pleasure at an early day in | ire. outlng
him with his own as a specimen of what
can be donu by an old and well tried
process. The skin is a little thin , and
Ims bean punctured so often that it lint
lost much of its value except as a curi
osity' . For all that it is an interesting
relic , and will point a suggcstivo talo.
Koine of these days some people will dis
cover thu mistake of viciously heading
on people's toes while whining out ap
peals for the safety of their own corn
covered feet.

an Increased majority throughout the
Third district is a striking evidence that
the people appreciate honc t and faithful
work on thu part of their representatives
and are ready to show their appreciation
in a practical manner at thu ballot-box ,
Mr. bnrnoy'ii uxcollcnt record during two
years nt Washington inndo his campaign
for him throughout the district. Speeches
nnd barbecues and torchlight proee-silous
wore not needed. The press had laid his
claims before his constituency anil they
went promptly admitted as valid. His
work on behalf of the Third district and
his courteous dcferonco to thu wishes and
roiuiefits of his constituency bore fruit at
the polls. _

upon all republicans who ara friends of
Church Huwo to knife Van Wyt'k. Inas
much as ih'jru are only two ilowu repub
licans ck > ctMi to the legislature in this
district oiit.sidi ) of Lrm'nst r county' , and
haneastor is known to bu hostile to Van
\ \ yck , not many knives will bo raised in
respond to this bloodthirsty appeal , Hut
why should not Church llowo's friends
knife C'obb , whoso comity gavu about
twlro the majority to Tlmycr that it
did to Ilnwo unit therefore must
have sold Howe out. Why .shouldn't A.
J. Weaver become n victim sincu Uich-
nrdson county has buried Howe under
COO voles while it gave n majority to
the republican candidates for thu legis
lature.
The
returns from the state J > ro still In
oouiplctn with regard to the legislature
but enough is known to make an estimate
that will bo very near correct , Out ol
the 133 members the democrats elect frorr
12 to15. . Two or Ihrco independent re
publicans were elected on the Van W.vcl
i sue , which will leave the straight ropub
llcans nearly two-thirds of the legislature
This puts all talk of n democratic sunatoi
out of the question. The next snnaloi
will bo either Charles 11. Van \Vyck 01
another republican.
Of the clglity-livo republicans , it ts Im
possible * as yet to say wliuthci
the majority is opposed to or foi
Van Wyck. It is n settled fact , however
( hat there are enough out and out Van
Wyck men in the legislature to control
the result and send General Van \Vycl
back to the senate for a second torm.
The complexion of the two branches
of the legislature is about as follows : Sen
ate , nine democrats , one Independent ,
David Hutlcr , and twenty republicans
In the house , thirty-six democrats , twc
independents nnd sixty- two republicans
On the question of the submission ol
the prohibition It is impossible to say deli
iiitely , but wo have reason to believe thai
the threo-llfths vote of both house ;
requisite for its submission cannot be
had. Tin ) democratic senators will ge
solidly against it , bee.auso they are sc
pledged , iind a sulliciunt number of re
publicans will vote with them because
they regard it as suicidal to the party
and impracticable.
Work on Tucmlny.
The part played by the labor olomenl
in various parts of thu country in the
elections of Tuesday is not the least in
teresthig feature of the political oxpnr-
loue.es and teachings of that day. it
oilers to the student of current politics n
mailer for serious contemplation , and it
particularly addresses ilsolf to the leaders
of the old political parties as a develop
nient which they cannot ignore or trcal
with light concern. Itdomoustrulod thai
this now power , so recently adopting the
forms of organization and assuming party
character and functions , is a growing
and progressive forco. It showed that tin
labor movement is an exceedingly earn
est and -vigorous reality , possessing
now in some localities the slrcnjrtu tc
achieve victory at the ballot box , and in
many others the balance of power enabl
ing it to determine , in its own interest ,
the fate of candidates.
The vote of between sixly and seventy
Ihonsand for Henry George in Now York
was unquestionably a surprising result ,
Although loss than the exaggerated esti
mates of his more sanguine supporters , it
was very much in excess of the best fig
ures that had boon named by shrewd and
experienced politicians and by the press.
At thovory hight of the enthusiasm following
owing his nomination the highest vote con
ceded to him was fifty thousand , and a'
the campaign advanced Uus was reduced
until the last estimates would allow him
not to exceed lorty thousand. The result
is evidence that Ilio labor vole was very
much boiler organized and disciplined ,
and far more in earnest , than the opposi
tion supposed , and except for the ano
malous and insincere union of the most
numerous democratic factions would
have been successful.
The result in Chicago was no less a
surprise. Very few of the most sanguine
friends of the labor movement had anil-
ciwatett so largo a vote as was polled in
its interest in that city , resulting in the
election lo Ilio legislaluro of several labor
candidates , throe judges who had the
labor support , and very nearly achieving
the election of a congressman. In the next
Illinois legislature the labor party will
be represented by eight votes and may
hold the balance of power. The defeat
of Morrison was effected by the opposi
tion of the labor vote in his dislnct , and
thu same mllucncc greatly reduced the
majority of Congressman Springer.
In the city' and county of Milwaukee
the victory of the labor party was com
plete. It elected its entire legislative and
county ticket and a member of congress.
The next Wisconsin legislature will have
six roprosentalivos of labor.
The probable defeat ot Speaker Car
lisle is duo lo thu opposition of workingmen -
men , who put forward one of their num
ber mid gave him their solid support.
In Minnesota the sympathy of the
labor clement was most largely with the
democratic candldalo for governor , nnd
the effect is shown in a greatly reduced
republican majority. In Ohio the labor
vote defeated the republican candidate
for congress in the Twenty-first district
and was a prominent factor in the voting
of several other congressional districts.
In ISufl'alo it mnrio largo gains.
It is thus FOOD that labor made il.solf
very generally felt in Tue-sday's elec
tions , and It is not to be doubted that the
power it developed and the results it
achieved will inspire it to make moro
vigorous and determined efforts iu the
future. It will not be wise to regard as
an idle boast the declaration of Henry
George that "wo have demonstrated the
political power of Jnbor , and nnvor again
will politicians look upon the labor move
ment with contempt. " Tliut wa.s the
statement of a tact amply attested by the
evidences we have cited , and It is a fact
which the political leader * must rncog-
nl/.o. The labor movement has become
an aclivo an earnest force , representing
a cause and a purpose , and witiuineii will
see that the judicious couivo to bu pursued
re.ipucting it is not thatof hostility and detraction -
traction , but of friendly inU-rest and di
rection. II is a power thai threatens no
drmger to the general weltaro unless it
shall become the tool of self-seeking
demagogues and uiueru puloua politi
cians , and this inuy bo prevented it hon
est and patriotic political leaders do not
lU olninib to allonlion.
The Klnoliou nntt tlio Administration ,
Mr. Cleveland la reported to have btiid ,
when the returns showing republican
Kuecesscs and pains worn coining in from
all quarters Tuesday night , that ho did
not consider the administration to bo on
trial in the election. The cheerful way
the president has of renouncing regpon-
t-ibility is ono of the most intere-ling
features of his character , Uf iiour.su no
ono could be moro fully conscious than
he. of the fact that ttio public attention is
constMilly lixed upon the conduct and
pulley of the administration , but ho
ui'.bcts ' to bu qnitn unable to understand
that nny of the mistakes or misfortunes
of his party should be traced to that
source. Nothing but the boundless con-
fldoncn of llr. Cleveland in his own su
perior political wisdom can account for
this self-complacency , As a matter of
fact , however , the administration was
very c6nspicuotisly on trial In the clcc
tion. It was particularly so In a scon
or more congressional districts where iti
most ardent supporters In the prcsen
house of representatives failed of ronom
iniition. It was PO in Now York , when
Ilio Cleveland candidate for supremi
judge is elected , if nt nil , by an extremclj
slender majority , showing a democratic
loss since last year of between thirty am
forty thousand. It was measurably so li
Pennsylvania , where Handall , backed bj
the administration , dictated the demo
cratlo ticket , which Is overwhelmingly
defeated , although under olhci
conditions democratic success wouh
not have been altogether 1m
ttobnblo , nnd certainly the re
publican majority would have beer
much less. It was so In Michigan , where
Don Dickinson represents the friend
ship nnd patronage of the administrator
and thereby alienated a very largo mini
ber of democratic voters. In short
wherever there was democratic dissatis
faction and dissension the admluistratloi
was on Irial , and wo undertake to saj
that the election results only partially in
dlcato Ilio real extent of dissatisfaction
Mr. Cleveland Is poor Tjoth in wisdoir
nnd experience as a politician , but hr
ought to have learned by this time thai
as the head of Ins parly , responsible foi
its policy and conduct , Its fidelity te
pledges , Its care for the public wolfnre
and ils general hone-sly nnd good be
Imvior , ho cannot escape responsibility
for its misfortunes brought about by hi
failure to meet the expectations nnd re
quirements of the people. However , the
time is nol far away when Mr. Clovolam
will have no reason lo doubt that the
administration is on trial , and if hii
power of inductive reasoning is good he
may determine trom Tuesday's result !
what the verdict will then be.
Pointing
The now isstto of extension bonds bj
tlio St .Too & Grand Island road was
promptly taken as soon as the subscrip
tion books were opened , Ono half 01
the total amount pass into the hands ol
the Union Pacific , that corporation own
ing a moiety of the stock. The feeders
to bo built with the funds thus secured
will aggregate 200 miles. This nov >
mileage will all bo tributary to Kansas
and Missouri matkets. The main line
is already payingG per cent on a capitnli/.iv
tion of $30,000 a mile. As the feeders are
to bo built for half the sum larger re
turns are looked for by this stockholders
from the increased trailo ! and the new
territory which will bo reached by the
system.
The Hurliugton is steadily pushing its
extensions in every direction from the
main line and reaching out for territory
in all sections of the state. The enor
mous profits which tlio IJ. & M. has an
nually returned lo the Boston owners
slimulales an aggressive policy. Twenty
per cent dividends are tempting baits to
investors nowadays , and the advantages
of the long haul arc steadily borne in
mind at the Chicago end of thai corpora
tion.
Meantime Omaha , whose commercial
interests are assailoil by Chicago , Kansas
City and St. Joseph , the terminal sta
tions of four great systems , is sucking ils
thumbs and " silting for soaiethiug to
turn up. "
Something of a very unpleasant
nature to our people is likely to turn up
if wo allow another season lo pass with
out making un effort to help ourselves.
We have lived for a year on the wind and
promises of railroad managers , and it
has proved a very unsubstantial diet.
The "feeders" built have not fed Omaha.
They all point in a difleront direction and
nourish other communities.
What Defeated Him.
In listening lo Iho shrieks of the routed
Howe forces , one would imagine Unit the
defeat of that veteran fraud and boodlei-
was entirely owing to the heavy cam
paign fund of his opponent That money
was lavishly spent in the election there is
no doubt. A campaign covering eleven
counties , eight of which were captured
by Howe's * opponent , required a very
largo expenditure for legitimate election
expenses. Tickets wore to be pi inted. a
thorough canvass ot the situation made
and an army of workers at Iho polls hired.
Henry George claims that ho conducted
his campaign in Now York with little erne
funds , but ho is Iho only candidate re
ported as making n statement of the kind.
Elections are always expensive luxuries.
No ono knows this bettor than politicians
of the Church Howe stripe , It is the
height of the ridiculous for them to cry
"boodle" in which has
a campaign near
ly wrecked financially the defeated
"boodler. "
The well organized canvass of McShanc
assisted materially in his election , but did
not secure it. Against n difleront opponent
no organization would have won. Eight
republican counties , composed chiefly of
farmers , diet not roll up a monumental
majority for n democrat because ho
spent his money freolv. The flagrant
record of Howe and disgust at the repub
lican organization for injecting the
luohibilion Issue into Iho canvass wore
missionaries who converted thousands of
republican voters into supporters of a
democratic candidate for congress. The
talk of contesting tlio result is of course
arrant nonsense. Church Howe was de
feated beforct the ballots cabt in the cities
were counted. Country precinct after
country precinct rebuked his impudent
pretenstloim by snowing him under re
publican votes. It was n political revo
lution which ho drew upon himself. There
Is no shadow of a ehnnu'that the popular
verdict will bo set aside.
When the IlrpnMican parsed into the
hands of the Into public printer nnd his
associates wo extended a warm welcome
to the now proprietors.Vo believed that
they meant what they said in announc
ing a new policy for the concern which
promised the publlo that thu paper was
jnlirely divorced from the old crowd that
liad piloted the party through the rail
road channels to wreck nnd disgrace ,
Hut the editorial chair has hardly been
warmed by the now editor when the pub
lic arc treated to Inn sumo old song , In
the face of the tenibltt rebnko which re-
pitblle-aiu have administered J n every
jountyintho dihtrtct , Church Howe is
ivtolled as a uaint and a martyr ,
uid those who have rescued the
[ nrty from the disgrace of his
election are lampponod nnd roasted by
h < ) old organof jobbers and monopoly
juppoi-s , The cordial treatment extended
jy this paper is reciprocated by the pub-
ieution interviews with disreputable
> hyscrs | and railroad boodlers who , iu
llii'ir misery over Howe's defeat , rnjoici
that the editor'of the HEK will notgi
down to Lincoln this winlcr. After all
It Is just what wo have expected. Tin
same old gang , of which Howe wns ai
honored lender , will inspire the politica
policy of the rejuvenated readorlcss ,
The now typo will print what the oh
crew dictates.Tlin new presses will revolve
volvo at lightning speed , but the papo
will continue lo travel In thu old ruts o

through all .tho various changes whicl
the NcjmblicaM Ifas scon In the lust lifteei
years , ll Is tlio'same old organ , no matter
tor who handloA tlio crank.
IT appears that Speaker Carlisle ha
had an extremely narrow escape , If in
deed ho has not been defeated. The elec
tion In his district is RO close that 1
probably cannot be determined until th
olh'cial count Is made. This Is thu mos
surprising incident of the elections so fa
developed. His opponent is a wooi
carver , who enjoys a local ruputntioi
only as a labor advocate. Ho had th
support of the worklngmen , who are op
posed to the free trade tendencies of Car
lisle , and also of dissalistiod democrat
whoso displeasure Is duo lo Iho course * o
Iho speaker respecting federal appointments
monts in his district , to which ho ha
given little regard. The client of the bet
back will nol bu to increase the smal
presidential boom in behalf of Carlisle
which otherwise might have had largi
possibilities. Ho may safely bo droppci
from the list of "possibles. "

THE E D OF A FAST CAREER ,
Suicldo of Prince Melissano. A Noted Pn
risiau Gambler , L
Xlia Sttporstitloits Drenil of Ills Kvlt
I do not suppose , writes Iho Paris cor
respondent of the Now Vork Tribune ,
that the suicide of Prlnco Caraccjolo Mot-
Issauo will , notwithstanding the moral
to deduced from it , alVect practically
the lifo of a sluglo gambler In existence.
That unfortunate was a grandson of the
admiral of the sumo name who was
hanged in 171H ) on a yard-arm of the Min
erva in thn bay of Naples , under the eye
of Lord Nelson , anil whose tragical death
cast a stigma on the famu of the llritish >
naval hero. Alberto Carncclolo. prince
of Mellssano , resembled the Ill-starred
admiral In si/e and iu the outline of his
head , but was devoid of his dignity , his
self mastery nnd firmness of char
acter. Ho was smalt and wiry , ami
his little person was always attired
In what is here supposed lo bo n correct
English .style that IH to say , llko a groom
in the morning and like a "masher" in
the evening. His shirt bosom and collar
seemed to lie of metal with a white en
amel on it , and his cravat was iu keep
ing with the shirt. Ho had a bilious com
plexion and there was something hi Ins
m-olilo which sot one thinking of n ravi u ,
I'ho eye \\asnotporpetually hidden
by an eye glass was hard , sunk , imiiiisi-
tivo and suspicious. It appeared to have
retreated as far back us it could to ho in
ambush , and to hideit.s own movements.
Italians thought U an evil eye , and would
nol gamble with it.s owner. Indeed , his
Neapolitan compatriots ot his own rank ,
thinking him a dettatore , would not on
any account stay in a room whore ho
wa.s. At the clubn to which ho belonged ,
both at Homo and Naples , his entrance
into Iho card room trighteucil away
players.
'I'llis superstitious drcatt of his ovll pyo
obliged him to esoino to Paris , where 1i.s
ho was provided with the best introduc
tions , and had an undo who was the
lover of Madame Kratiss , the opera primu
donna , ho was at once well launched.
Ho took n handsome suite of rooms in
the Hue d'Antinget ) admitted to the most
select clubs or eercles , mainly those of
the Kuo lioyale and Champs KlysecH
( formerly Coiclo Imperial ) , and nciiuired
a reputation : IH a collector of choice canes
and art furniture. Hail a good many
lady friends , who wore lee well known
in Paris and in the pleasure and gamb
ling resorts of Kurope. Some of them
were ; on the stage. It wa.s whispered that
whenever any of them introduced lo thu
rich " " .shared
Prince a "Hut , ho
with her the money thai ho
won of him. The Neapolitan
nobleman was c.vtrcmclv intimate
with the red-whiskerod Polisii count who
some years ago bcoumo the inseparable
frienel of th < > prince of Wales and re
mained so nniil ho died. In a .short liuio
Prince Mclissiino's set of rooms in the
ttuo d'Antin became a center to which
illustrious and wealthy pleasure .seekers
from all points of the compass' gathered.
11 is gambling parties were .so "swagger"
that rich money lenders who wanted to
extend llioir social relations did not
mind to what an extent they themselves
or'heir sons lost money at them. Since
Mile. Schneider shut un shop there was
no place in Kurope where ) a vulgar mil
lionaire had such irood opportunities for
becoming acquainted with royal and im
perial personages.
The he/st , however , bad a too long and
blremg spell of luck for this sort of thing
to go im forever. He never al this period
of his- career played but to win , and ho
always played lor high slakes. Nobody
thought here of his evil eye , hut it was
remarked that ho had phenomenally thin
and long nails , and U was suspected that
by their aid ho indulged in that kind of
chealing known its la pou.-elte Cold
coins placed outside u eiinain line on thu
curd-taiilo could be shoved lorwai I by
the long nails within thn boundary , ir to
bo inside was to win. This cmiiMiil lib
rooms to bo maidenly desi > rtod. A * lib
always lived at the lop of his spued , cred
itors came down in a shoal upon him
when his gains decreased. His an finni-
turo was. sold by them ; but beconlrived to
keen his curious canes. Ho was involved
in the scandal of the Circle do la Hun
Koynlo , and when it , was broken up to bu
reconstituted the committee refused to
admit him. Mile. Ziita IJalli , Iho opera
coiuiinio .singer , with whom ho went to
America , on lured him from her iirc.sciicii ,
and when ho would not go but kept run
ning after her behind the MUNICH , horse
whipped him. Ho became ono of thu
most cantankerous of human linings.
His nails being closely watched whenever -
over ho played , his "luck" utterly forsook
seek him. The coinniilltto of the Champs
Klyscos club , whom ho had a bed-room ,
watched lor opportunities to expel bun.
Ho often lost temper when he was
"cleaned out" a thing one inns1 ! never
do among gentlemanly gamcstcr.s in
Paris. According to Iheir code of man
ners , when a player IK ruined , he
should grin and bear it. If they
mean to commit siiicido they should dose
so without , apprising anyone ) of the in
tention. Prince Melissano got up scenes
itboiil his gambling misfortunes. When
ho saw himself posted as a defaulter Im
smashed the vast mirror upon which Inn
name was posted , and in airing bin
grievances rained .storms ul thn club.- , .
Jusl lieforo ho shot liiinsidf liu wrote a
teller to the Prince of Wales , and an
other to a fiidy of rank who had pnv-
loudly Icnthim ft,000 to slave oil'an c\c-
milion , but who refused lo lend him $ ridO

ho was proclaimed a delimiter the day
