FHANK Huito seems to bo satisfied this
time that ho was fairly whipped in the

usual announcement of his intention to
contest the election.
THE election of McKhano is n bad
enough blow to the editor of the Jloruld ,
but the selection of any but a railroad
republican for Unitud Stales Bonatoi
would complete the catastrophe.
OMAHA'S delegation will have thoii
hands full at Lincoln this winter. The

soon.
Tun efforts of the railroads to defeat
the popular vote were not entirely suc
cessful. When the returns are canvassed
General Van \Vyok'a friends will have
no reason for disappointment over the
outcome.
THK results of last Tuesday's elections
added at leant two names to the list of
possible presidential candidates Abram
S. Hewitt and Henry George. As to
cither of them , however , the possibility
mast bo regarded as extremely reuijto.
An'Kit next Wednesday and until tlio

not bo accessible to everybody. Ho .will

necessarily desires to avoid the interrup
tions and annoyances of people who have
no public business with him. The oflico
snokor , however , will continue to receive
the usu.il attention.
AMONG tlio many matters of interest
reported in our voluminous foreign dis
patches of yesterday was that the Aus-
trjiin government has decided not lo
await the result of experiments with dif
ferent repeating rillcs , but has .ordered
the factories to work night and day on
the Manntilior repeating arm , while
those at several places arc working in ?
cussantly outho yorndl repeaters. This
is omiuous.

in possession of the facts. They should
bo permitted to help on tlio work of the
organisation by assisting in the employ

will be to arrest offitmlera and enforce
the law.
FliiiiAV'ri dispatches state that the dem
ocrats am conceded to have a majority of
two in joint ballot in the Indiana Je'gis-
aturo. This will elect a democrat prob
ably McDonald or ( Jray to succeed General -
oral Harrison in the ) United States Konate ,
If no further changes are intido , this
would leave the republicans a majority of
four In the semite beginning on the 4th
of March , 1837 , counting Uiddloberger
with the republicans. Now Jersey and
California , however , are still doubtful ,
with the chances in the former , accord
ing to latest returns , a little in favor of
the republicans. Advices from California
are very meagre. Inasmuch as Kiddle-
berger has veiled quite .as often with the
democrats as with the republicans , and
is , thorcforo , a drifting and uncertain
quantity , hu may us. well bo left out of
calculation , though the turu of tlio polit
ical tide in Virginia may dispose him
more favorably towarel the republicans.
As the situation now stands , the assured
republican majority in thu next senate
will her only two. Thus the- margin of
either party in ( he uoxt congress will bo
extremely small.
ll.tniln on * .
The time has come for the people of
Nebraska to call a halt to the attempted
dictatorship of the Iturllngton rallrond
in tlio political affairs of this state. The
innnnger.s of that road are not content
with levying extortionate rates upon
tr.Hr patrons and subjecting them to out
rageous discriminations all along the
linn , but they have ariognted to them-
.H'lves sovereign powers of govern
ment which belong to the pi'oplo alone.
Years ago , "whon Jay Gould attempted -
tempted to convert Nebraska
Into a political province , there
was nn uprising in every hamlet
nnel the ininlon4 of the railroad king worn
forced back and routed. Since Gould hni
retired from the control of thn tlnlon I'a-
cllip , the Burlington managers have
taken his place and made his methods
their own. Their system now extends
into every section of the state and their
political attorneys and henchmen are
located in nearly every county seat.
Their town site syndicate makes it its
liusmcs * to pack conventions and legisla
tures with pliant tools of the railroadand ,
corrupts county and town governments
through favors and so-called courtesies
which plain spoken people call bribery.
Tlio boldness with which this political
subversion of popular government lias
been carried on is simply astounding. At
the last legislature the Burlington lobby ,
headed by llolelrcge and Deweos , pooloei
with the jobbers that hang iirnund the
state hoiiao , and by their joint efforts suc
ceeded in pushing through the railroael
commission fraud in eleliunco of tlio pop
ular will , and saddled upon the people
bills for the bon''lit ' of bogus claimants
amounting to thousands of dollars. One
of the Burlington attorneys acted as go-
between for tlio Omaha and Lincoln
gamblerj and the defunct candidate for
congress from this ellstrict. Ami now
the Burlington managers are actively at
work to capture and control the legisla
ture and iorco upon the people their own
candidates for the legislature. Already
their emissaries are traveling through
the state to draw into their drag net
newly electud members ot the legislature.
Will the people of Nebraska allow the
Burlington railroad to take control of the
statcf
Tlio Ijl lit Vote.
The light vote cast in Omaha at the late
election is of course ) used as an argument
to our disadvantage by rival cities. DCS
Moines particularly jubilates 'over the
showing which it remarks "effectually
disposes of the ridiculous claims of
Omaha" and indicates that Des Moincs
"has in fact as mucU population" as this
city. Let us see.
Scarcely a half of the registered vote
was cast at tlio last cleotion. With a
registration of nearly 12,000 voters , less
than 0,5'JO ' ballots wcro deposited in the
boxes on Tuesday. It was the lightest
vote polled in years. Fully two
thousand republicans stayed .at homo
in disgust over the situation , declining
to vote for a candidate whom they be
lieved lo bo a corrupt and dishonest tricks
ter and unwilling to cast their ballots
for his opponent. A change in the hours
during which votes could bo polled cut
off hundreds of clerks , workingmen ami
laborers from a chance of voting. When
the polls closed at 0 o'clock more than
GOO voters were waiting t'neir turn at the
polling places. The total vote indicated
nothing but the olfects of bael nomina
tions and an oft' year in failing to call
out the republican strength. But even
as matters stood , let us suppose that
Douglas , West Omaha and Saratoga pro-
cincts.wliich arc virtually a-p'art of Omaha
and should bo incorported in the city
limits , had cast their votes under city
auspices. A round 2,000 votes would have
been adeled lo our total.
Estimates of population based on votes
cast in an election like the last are worth
less. There are too many elements which
must bo taken into consideration. Omaha
contains 12,000 voters. Because half of
the voting population refuse to vote the
population of the city is not materially
decreased.
A Now Deal Nccelod.
The lirst important question which will
force itself upon the attention of the leg
islature will bo the organization of the
two branches. The jobbers and corpora
tion bosses will as usual make a des
perate effort to control legislation by
forcing upon the senate and house men
who elo their bidding. This includes not
only olliccrs wjio will pack committees ,
but clerks > vho mutilate , pigeonhole or
steal bills as occasion may require.
Already the old gang which has made
honest legislation almost impossible arc
buttonholing nicmbersauei writing appli
cations for re-election .
- or re-employment.
It is to be hoped that every accent and
honorable member will refuse to commit
himself to tlo ) Walt Scploys , Ga < l
Slaughters , Pearmans , Wiggins anel
other vermin who every two years infest
thn halls of legislation.- Let the tramps
go to work and make an honest living.
Give tiio state a clean bill of faro. There
can bo no wiolosomo | legislation next
*
winter os long as the political eaves
droppers and railroguo spies hang
around committee rooms or occupy
pimn3 ! Oil the Hears of the t'vo houses. A
new eleal is needed which wjll lill the po
sitions formerly occupied by t'wso ' roust
abouts with clean , honest am ! hardwork
ing ollleials. There has been too much
tlirty work in the committee roomn in
yours gone by through the connivance of
clerks and the treachery of secretaries lo
railroael managers. Members of the leg
islature should go down to Lincoln un
pledged to any of the olel gang and free
lo nolcut the Lest men for the positions
iet their disposal. Wo need a now deal ,
Opposed to Keolproclty.
The administration is understood to bo
strongly opposed to reciprocity treaties.
Referring to the recent reports intimat
ing a probability that negotiations for
such n treaty will bo entered into with
Spain , a Washington dispatch says they
lire misleading , The secretary of state
Is quoted as authority for the statement
that the unsuccessful experiments in con
nection with the treaty which was nogo-
tinted by Minister Foster have satisliod
the administration that it would bo inex
pedient to attempt further similar nego
tiations.Vlion \ Mr. Bayard was lu the
senate ho was one of the most earnest .in
opposition to the proposeel treaty with
Spain , ami there ia no reason to biipposo
that his views have siiico undergone any
change. The position which ho then
liold was adontcel by the president anel
Incorporated in his message ? to congress ,
wid if is not doubted that if the question
were ngain presented to the administra
by congress the president and secre
tary ot slate would be found not to him
changed their views nf the subject. They
do not believe , so It is said with apparent
authority , in tinkering with the tariff
through reciprocity treaties , and the sen
ate U on record as occupying n slmllat
position. A majority of the house is
doubtless of the same mind , at least It is
known that Mr , Morrison tend most
of those democrats' who net
with him are very hostile
to such treaties. U is not at all proba <
ble , thorcforo , that negotiations in this
direction will bo opened or encouraged
by the present administration.
There arc obvious reason * justifying the
exception made in the case nt the proposeel
treaty with Mexico. That country IE
hardly to bo regarded as bearing the
same relation to the United States , conv
morclally , as other foreign nations. It
is n neighboring republic , closely linked
with us by business interests , which from
the natural force and oonditions of ter
ritorial propinquity must increase In ex
tent and intimacy. It is quite impassible !
that two countries tnrrltorially united us
are tlio United States nud Mexico can
maintain a policy of commercial hoHtl-
il\ * without disregarding and elamaging
their mutual interests. But with respect
lo this proposeel treaty , the opposition in
the present house of representatives is so
Strong that there eloes not appear to be
the least probability that tlio necessary
enabling net can pass. Regarding the
avrangemoiit just offeotcel between the :
government of the United States and thai
of Spain , relative to tradu relations wltli
Cuba and i'orto Uieo , while necessarily
reciprocal in its character , is so only in n
limited degree , and was necessary tt
prevent unjust and damaging
discriminations against American
vessels. Negotiations are now
In progress with n view to a more cloarl.v
defined and permanent arrangement thai
will obviate future complications am !
dilllcultics similar to those which recently
disturbed tlio commercial relations of tin
two countries. In respect to this nmttei
the administration must in fairness be
credited with having shown moro jpiril
than with regarel to any other of the
matters of controversy with foreign na
tions , the result being prompt anel satis
factory.
It is undoubtedly the fact that withoul
reference to political divisions the people
of the United States are not favorable tr
reciprocity treaties. The general view
seems to bo that they arc a sort of alli
ance which may beoomo entangling
while the faots of experience do not ap
prove thorn. Our reciprocity treaty will
Canada was not to the advantage of this
country , and suggestions for its renown
have not been favorably roceivcel by our
people In the position the aeiministra
tlon is understood to occupy on this sub
ject , it is , therefore , undoubtedly in ac
cord with tlio general popular sentiment.
'Tlio Country's ForolRii Commerce.
The last report issued by tlio treasury
department in regard to thu country's
exports and imports , gives gratifying
evidence of a rapid increase in our for
eign commerce. Tlio figures are for the
month of September , but with these are
included the statistics for tlio three
quarters of the current year ended on
thu 30th of that month. The total value
of the imports for that period , stated in
round figures , Was a little in excess of
? lU8,000ono , , which was an increase of
$07,000,000 over tlio amount for the cor
responding period of the preceding year.
The exports during tlio sanio time were
to the value of nearly $486,000,000 , n gain
of $11,000,003 over the corresponding
period of 1885.
An exhibit is made of the increase or
decrease in the chief articles of export
during the third quarter which is not
without interest. This shows that , there
was a decline hi the value of exports of
agricultural implements , cattle , sheep ,
brcadstuffs , iron anel steel manufactures ,
hops , solo leatiier , crude and rolincd
mineral oils , beef , bacon , lard , butter
and cheese , spirits of turpentine and
wood. Thp.ro was an increase in the
value of exports of hogs , books , maps ,
engravings and other printed matter ,
wheat , wheat flour , carriages , horse
Bars and steam railroad cars , ooal , raw
and manufactured cotton , furs , steam engines -
ginos , oilcake , oilcake meal , hams , pork ,
refined sugar and leat tobacco. There
ire some instructive suggestions , doubt
less , to bo , derived from this showing , as
lor example in the reduced demand for
agricultural implements and iron anel
steel manufactures.
It is noted a ? another interesting fact
disclosed by the report that Great Britain
anel Ireland import from this country as
many cattle as thpy do from all other
3ountries , and of wheat Hour , fresh beef ,
[ ) orn products and raw cotton they take
i greater amount from the United States
than from any oilier country. In the
Droduets of the dairy wo are far bohlim
Jthcr countries , in 'tho amount sent to
Lircal Britain and Ireland , but as com-
tmreel with some years ago we have
undo marked progress in the exports ot
hcso products. Although for the year
: hus far the balances of trade , us shown
a the excess of imports over exports , is
ilightly against us.tho value of our foreign
iommerce for the nine months , amount-
ng to the grand total of nearly a thou-
loud million dollars , must bo rogarelcd U3
ilghly satisfactory and reassuring ,

Of all the books written concerning tlio
ate war perhaps the most interesting one
s that of Admiral David D. J'orter now
jolng Issued. He has written a "Naval
listory , " treating exclusively of the part
hat the navy took in the conflict. Every
iago IK full ot Interest. Few people know
hat the engagement ut New Orleans was
he grandest naval battle of any tune.
L'here are many things in its pages that
iven well informiid persons will learn for
ho first time. It will bo widely read.
ISX'T it about time for builders to un-
k'rstnnd that something more than brick
iiitsldo walls are needed to make a fire-
iroof building ? A loaded shell is scarcely
CFS proof ngttiiibt the flames than a large
truettiru filled with lath and studding ,
ilank and veneering. Fires rarely start
in the outride of buildings. The spark
viiich lights a conflagration generally
logins its work where it lipds fuel on

of the Hui.1 : A furiously delirious imgro
( Mini in Mount Sinai hospital. That in-
dilution is n Jewish charity , hut its benio-
factious know no color line. The black
man had for several eluys prior to his
death almost , constantly Insisted thatonly
his skin and bones remained , and thai all
the nisi of him had long bufeire be-em
taken invuy to bo buried , It was n curi
ous hallucination , anel yet not altogether
unreasonable. His wile ) belief was bast-el
nn something remarkable nothing less
than ono of those womlurtiil surgle'iil
ope-ratloiiH that are nowadays undertaken
In elespe'ralo cases. The dooteirs of
Mount Sinai had taken out his intes
tine's , put them into an artificial ubdomun
made ) nut of a rnliber shirt and some hot
towels , niul left tlicm tlu-re until through
with investigating , cutting and sowing ,
when they turned him inside in and out-
hiile ; out again , ills trouble was a tumor
on one of thu arteries , Dr. William I' .
Kluhror. visiting surgeon te > Mount Sinai
and liellevne hospital , who performed
the operation , had Iho man prepared for
It by giving him a tlieimiign scrubbing
with soup , and keeping the abdomen cov
ered with towi'ls wet with a we-nk solution
of carbolic acid. After putting the
patient under the Inlluencc of other , the
surgeon made an incision extending MX
inchcH downward along the middle Hue
of the body. A sheet of this rubber
was placed over Iho abdomen , a
slit cut into it from ono
side , and the small intestines were drawn
from the abdomen through the slit anil
himrheel upon thu sheet , which was then 4
quickly folded over them , holding them
as if in a bag. To keep them warm they
were covered wilh towels out of a warm
solut on of carbolic acid.
A ligature of line silk thread huel been
prepared by boiling it two hours In car
bolic acid , unel then soaking it d urine
thoope-ratious in a weak solutiem of the
aoiel.ith two pairs of forceps , the
operator tore a slit half an inch long in
the lining of the back of the ; abdominal
cavity , elireetly eivesr tlio diseased artery.
There the tumor was found to bo nf tlio
shape and HI/I ! of a man's list. With a
blunt curved needle the surgeon
passed Uui Bilk ligature around
the artery throe-fourths of
an inch from the tumor ,
where it was firmly tied and the muts cut
short. The intestines , which had been
kept in tht'ir artificial cavity about
twoutv minutes , wejro then trans
ferred lo their natural resting-place and
the ! wound was ole > soil by stitciiiug ilioab-
dnnion lining together with cat-gut and
the skin witli silk. It was then dressed
with rubber tissue and iodot'orin , over
which were ) placed layers of .sublimated
gaimuinel borau-d cotton.
Thes patient awoke after having bce-n
kc'pt insensible two hours , and at first
ho gave indication that lie wemld recover
For the linit live elays ho WIIH given hypo

restlessness. On tlio first , elay he was al

small quantities of whisky. The

Now , with this operation in view , the
reader may think it perfectly reasonable
that the negro should , in his delirium ,
have imagined that his interior had been
robbed eif all contents ; but t'io ' fact is
Lhat lie never know the nature or extent
