THE friends of Dr. Miller arc again
nlarnicil over his mental condition. Tin
old malady of softening of the brain let ;
Hliown symptoms of revival that are tin-
mistakable.
Trrn Hulgarian sobrnnjo in session at
Tirnoya lias elected Wiililumar , of Dun-
mark , to become tliuir jirinee. This is a
complete Tiniova to the Uusdian side ol
the controversy.

more brfck bnildings. Even if sncli
bnililine.s ; are not riiridly lirn proof , they

IiirKling and I'.salm .Jones slinjrin slani :
in the exposition building : in increase ot
the police force is urgently needed in
Omaha. By all means , let us amend the
charter and secure a police commission.
UK. Miu.r.u's cllbrt to galvanize the
body of the late Church Howe in the in
terests of political economy as taught by
Professor Jay Gould , is a very neat ex
periment. There is no easn on record ,
however , where galvanism has brought a
corpse back to life.
TIIK so-called American ticket in Cali
fornia , dia not make a very striking show
of strength , and if the in on who organized
the movement are not ashamed of it they
ought to bo. Outsi'te of San Francisco
and Oakland , where it originated , it re-
ci'ived no supnort of consequence , and
the votes given it in those communities
were discreditable to them Probably no
where else could such a movement start
with greater hope of success than in Cal
ifornia , and iU ) complete failure there is
evidence that a political enterprise
based upon prejudice against a class ,
race or religion stands a poor show in
this country.
IN explaining to n newspaper man the
oirnumstanccs under which ho mudn a
political speech at Madison , Wis. , on the
oveniii" Jin-ceding the election , Post
master General Vtlaa said : "There must
bo ft distinction allowed between ollieers
charni'd withdirt'erentduties in connec
tion with the service of the government.
There was nothing in the dupurtmont re
quiring my attention. " The order of
tlin president requiring federal ollico-
holder * to abstain from active participa
tion in political meetings , caucuses and
conventions a * apcakcr ? or workers , or
from otherwise openly and obtrusively
using their iulhu'iico for partU-m pur
poses , makes no distinction. In language
and in spirit it includes the wholu boily
of olllceholders , and properly BO. Thorn
is no good reason why nny privilege
should bo accorded to Mr. Vilas in this
matter that is denied to the humblest
olcrk in his department. Hoth are ser
vants ot the people , Uoth arc citi/.cns
i-qual before the law in their rights of
citizenship , and any regulation applying
to their relations with tlie people politi *
cally must , in order to bo just and im
partial , equally atlect both. Wo have no
doubt Mr. Vilas would like to have it
otherwise , so that ho might bo free at
tuich times as he desired to nsu
his superior gifts as an orator in
behalf of his party. We unn
understand that the restraint imposed by
the president's order would fret him
when the demand for democratic work
ers and orators is urgent. Hut while he
remains a federal olllco holder 1m must
submit to the deereo that makes no dis
tinction nnil knows no illfl'orrncc between
the pcopht'sborvants , and could not do so
witliout being unjust. We feel confident
that this will bo the view Mr. Vilas will
got irom the president if they ever talk on
this subject. As to the excuse that there
was nothing in the department requiring
liis attention at tlio tiiuo ho vras doing
"
political work at Madison , it will bo n rev"
vlation to the people to learn that there l.i
over n time when the vast postal affaire of
the .nation do not oiler something for the
attention of the head of that departim-nt ,
Mr , Vilas might wisely huvo omitted
this , humioirort at palliation.

( iboiit democrat if leaders who hnvo du <

democrats in tlie legislature to a rnilroatl

Douglas county nre paraded In his paper
as proof that the railroaders on the clonr

"black-hearted cut throats" and "polit
leal assassins. " Tlmso vile epithets ap <
plied to democrat- ) like Charles H.Hrown ,

bogus democrat who for years ha1

\Vho defeated Mr. Stow and other moiv
opoly democrats on the legislative ticket 1
livery well informed person knows that
every candidate who carried this county
( in the legislative ticket was elected
solely because his nuino was on the labor
in men's ticket. Not a .tingle candidate
of cither party whoso name wa not on
that ticket received a majority. The
'blark-hearted cut-throats" In this casi
were the Knights of Labor , who deliber
ately cut the throat of every candidate
who was not known to be for Charles II ,
Van U'vck. Neither Charles II. Brown.

flip. SnnrKH * Hnport.
Now that the election is over the small'
bore politicians and the two-ply editor *
who run claim ollico attachments to their
country papers are resuming their howl
against Lund Commissioner Sparks and
his rigid methods of conducting hl
bureau. Mr. Sparks has recently issued
his animal report , which disposes ed'ec-
tuallv of the charge that immigration has
been retarded and tlie settlement of the
public lands has been di'lajed through
his tearless scrutiny of entries and
honest labor for an honest conduct of his
ollico. It appears that the sales ,
entries , and selections of public lands
during tlie last fiscal year covered
2l91n07 ! ) ! acres , and of Indian land *
Il'i2 , < > ! )7 acres , making a. total of
2 ,124,504 acres. This total was an in
crease of 1,12,0.)0 ! ) over that of the
previous fiscal year , and a decrease
of 0,40(5,000 ( as compared with the liscal
year 1831. The receipts from disposal of
public and Indian lands last year
amounted to 5,030.4i)7 ! ' ) an increase over
1835 of $10fl,8W ! , and a decrease from
18S-1 of $3,758.0:13. : The homestead entries
last year covered 0M5,1JO ! acres , the
timber culture entries 6,81)1 ) , : > 09 acres , and
the railroad selections , 2H1K)7 , ! , ) acres.
Instead of a decrease in the number of
entries the records show" that there lias
been a surprising increase in both home
stead and pre-emption claims. What is
more important there has been a corresponding
spending increase in the number of
actual settlers. In our own state the
bogus pre-emptors , fraudulent , home
steaders and treeless timber claims en-
trymen have been driven to a back seat.
It is not from these that thu howl against
Sparks is rising in softened tones on the
Nebraska air.
Mr. Sparks has mademistakes. . In his
honest indignation over the monumental
mental frauds laid bare by
his republican predecessor and
more fully exposed by htniJolf
ho has no doubt at times exceeded tlie
bounds of moderation in ids charge ? , llo
will hardly himself be prepared to admit
that 00 per cent of the entries in the far
west made during the past four years
were fraudulent. No ono who is ac
quainted with the facts will deny that a
very large portion , especially in the graz
ing recions , were not madci in compli
ance with the law. Thu facts were bad
enough without exaggeration. Hut in
spite of his mistaken , Mr. Sparks has
made the best land commissioner who
has hold ofllco since tlie war. Ho
is scrupulously honest in his aims ,
rigidly careful in his methods
of protecting the public domain ,
and hasmado himself the terror of thieves
and jobbers in his conduct of the land
ollieo. Honest men can admire him for
the enemies which lie has made anil over
look crrora which have resulted from
hnnojt anxiety to preserve the public
lands for poor settlers by rescuing them
from the grasp of land syndicates , cattle
companies and giant corporations , The
errors of Mr. Sparks' predecessors were
in tlm line of laxity. It is a unique spec
tacle to sec a public ollioial at the head
of the land department whoso errors all
lean to virtue's side.
A KcrUiMl RliMitfon fmw.
The necessity of a revised election law
in cities of the lir.n class should not be
lost , sight of when proposed amendments
to the charter are discussed by our citi-
Xi'ns and the Douglas county delegation ,
With only half a vote polled last week in
this city it was fully three days before
thu results wore definitely known. Long
before the returns were in from a singto
ward , > io\v York with a voting popula
tion IIH largo as that of our I'litirn state
hud tinished her count , . There are fea
tures in the New York ejection law which
wo could profitably adopt for our own ,
in the first place the number of voting
precincts in each ward should bo in
creased. In Now lork there is a limita
tion ol 400 votes to each precinct. A voting
ing place for every 1UO voters enables all
to ca t their ballots who wish to do so.
Thcro is no crowding at the polls and no
long line of disfranchised voters at the
window when 0 o'clock comes and the
boxes are closed for the count. A limit of
500 votes for each precinct in Omaha
would work a much needed reform , An
other feature of the New York law which
commends Itself to consideration is that
which provides separate ballot boxes for
state , county and municipal oflices and
in presidential contests one for presi
dential electors with separate
judges and counters for each.box. .
This decreases .tlio work for
judges and chirks , of election. Vvithiu an.
hour or two after the cloe ot the polls
the connt Is finished. Some such pro
vision should be engrafted on our revlsei
election law.
In the same connection wo need i
thorough reform Jn our system of regis
tratlon. The lists should bo newly madi
every year and every voter ought to bi
compelled to register In person. Krgi.s
( ration by deputy is a farce. Tlio objec
of registry is to protect the .ballot box
Under the present plan tlio protcctioi
amounts to nothing.
Factories of Unterprlno ,
The opening of two now packing house
at the slock yards makes a noticeable In
crease in Hie manufacturing facilities o
this important suburb of our city. I
means the employment of more capita
nnd of more labor , the building ol nor
houses for worulngmon and the lncrcas <
of the llvo stock market from which al
Nebraska may profit. South Omaha i
making rapid strides on the road of progress
gross , and each step in advance has i
vital Interest to the city which she ad
joins. The pricking houses should no
be tlio only feature of commercial in
tcrcst in South Omaha. The ;
should form the basis for a larg >
number of allied manulacttiring Indus
tries. No reason exists why all the rav
material should not bo consumed am
turned into the finished product before ii
reaches the cars. Why would not glui
factories be a profitable industry at Soutl
Omaha ? Horns and bones In abundanei
could bo lurnishod by tlio slaughtei
houses. What is to prevent tlie cstab
lishtuent of a tannery to turn the wet am
salted hides into a first-class article o
finished leather ? Is there any reason
why tlio hog bristles should not boiunmi
factured into brushes and made avail
able within a stone's throw of tlio pack
ing houses ?
The possibilities of manufacturing a
South Omaha arc great. Will they b (
turned to material advantage ? Cannin <
establishments could pack away over' '
year hundreds of tons of meats and ton
gttes Pickling factories could readily
dispose of thousands of pig's foot to homi
consumers. What is loft would rind iti
place in fertilizing works which wouh
utilize all the refuse.
To-day our greutest manufacturing en
tcrpriso is the Smelting Worka. Tlia
mammoth concern conducted by men o
brains and business sustains throe in
dustrics outside of its owi
proper function. It supplies tin
entire. Western Union system will
the sulphate of copper for its batteries
It keeps in operation the while leai
works , which reditco tons of its pig leai
every year into paint1 In addition i
furnishes the raw material for our slio
tower and lead pipe works. Such a fac
lory is one worth having. It is at once t
factory of material and of enterprise
There is no reason why our pack in ;
houses should not merit the same com
pliment.
Prospects FOP Corn.
Evidences continue to accumulate thai
the year's corn crop is heavier than al
first reported. Last montlfsgovcrnmeni
report placed the total yield at l,6-)0onO , ,
000 bushels. In addition there romaiut
from last year's harvest some 350,000,00 (
bushels. There Is evidently to bo nc
scarcity this winter of our great western
staple , in spite of the predictions of bulls
and the reports of speculators A feature <
ture of the crop which lias an important
bearing oa prices i.s the unusually prime
condition in which corn is coming into the
market. Chicago dealers report that mucli
ottliis year's crop i.s already grading No.3 ,
Pine weather has allowed the kernel tc
ripen and dry and it is reaching the sea
board in competition with that of last
year's crop. Weakening prices arc the
natural result. The prospects for stiiTon-
ing values in corn this winter arn not bril
liaut. There will bean ample supply foi
all domestic wants and a full exportable
surplus. This moans cheap food in the
cities and small returns on the farm. The
railroads will as usual lose nothing. In
moving tlio crop the extortionate trans
portation middleman will see that tht ;
lion's share of the difl'orcnce between
prices at tlie country elevator and the
lakes shall fail into his capacious maw.
Hut the best prospect for corn in Nc >
braska is that a larger amount than ever
before will be turned into beef , pork and
mutton within the limits of our.own stafo ,
The number of cattle , hogs and sheep
which will be fed in Nebraska during the
present season will exceed by many thou
sands the records of the best years of the
past , Tlie ranges have been moved west
but the range cattle will winter among
us , furnishing at u score of large feeding
establishments a ready liotno market for
our staple crop. Com on the hoof dis
counts corn on tlie car. It pays double
the profit of corn at ttie elevator. The
economic problem of the day for farmers
is condensation of product. The experi
ment cannot bo more profitably tried
than with corn and stock feeding.
rtnlini'lii'n Prospective Killer ,
On Wednesday tlio Hulgarian sobranjo ,
or national as-bombly ; by acclamation
elected Prince Waldomar , of Denmark ,
as the successor to the Hulgarian throne
of tlie deposed Prince Alexander. Tills
action is not final , tlio treaty of Herlin
requiring that the election of a prince of
Hulgaria must bo confirmed by the
Sublime I'ortu , with the consent of the
powers , which are Russia , Germany ,
Austria , Franco and England. The ac
ceptance of Waldemar is furthermore a
matter of uncertainty , depending upon
the feeling and demands of Hussia , witli
which ho apparently desires to be in full
accord. Prince Waldemar has ligiuod
prominently among those who have
boon named as the probable successors ot
Alexander , so that his election is not a
surprise , and tlio indications are that
Europe was prepared for it ami will ap
prove it. Thu chief ground of possible
Russian opposition is in tlie fact that the
religious faith of the prince may bo ob
jectionable , it being understood to bo tlio
wish of tlio czar that the next ruler
of Hulgaria fcluill bo of the or
thodox Greek church in his relig
ion ; but it is not probable that Hussia
would insist upon an objection of this
character if tlie choice should bo ap
proved by the other powerthough in the
absenceof more tenable and potent reas
ons for opposition she might urge this ob
jection as a pretext. The impression lias
been that the czar , while perhaps prefer
ring fioiuo ono of the others who have
been named in connection with the Hul-
Ejanan succession , was not wholly unfa
vorable to Iho candidacy of Wuldumar.
The mother of the prince is the mother-
in-law of tlio czar , and the belief has pre
vailed in Europe that she has brought lior
influence , by no moans inconsiderable , t <
beni- upon the czarina in behalf of then
on nnd brother. The influence of Hi
czarina Is known to bo 'very great , am
she also has remarkable tact. Her dove
lion to hcrshrowtl anil ambitious mother
who has had unparalleled success In pro
vidlng for her children , is most thorough
It is therefore not dilllcult to give ere
denco to the suspicion that has prnvailei
in Europe that thpse two have had mucl
to do with moving the secret springs o
the Hulgarian business , keeping In vlov
the ambition of the mother to provide at
honorable and comfortable place for th
only Danish prince still to bo taken car
of. If such bo the case , Prince Waldc
mar will encounter no obstacle to th
Hulgarian throne , except as the czar ma ;
find obstruction convenient as i
means of discipline. Furthermore it I
not improbable , under the cir
cumstanccs of the close relationship , tha
Waldemar would bo found oxcnedingl ;
tractable to Russian purposes and policy
At all events , it would seem to bo no
bad policy for the czar to hnvo a brother
in-law on the Uulgarian throne , as ho nov
has on the Greek throne. Will
the Turk squeezed in between these two
both warranted not to prove fractious
the czar could perhaps afTbrd to le
events in tlio Uatkan peninsula taki
pretty much their own course , eonlidon
that they would come out right in UK
end.
Prince Waldemar is the third son eKing
King Christian of Denmark , and wai
bom October 27 , 1858. He was marnei
last year to Princess Marie d'Orleans
eldest daughter of the Due do Chartrcs
llo has had some military experience
ami is spoken of as a young man of good
ability and promise , who , with n favor
able opportunity , might carve out :
creditable future. Ho may have such s
chance in Bulgaria. It is to bo remarked
however , that should his selection IK
ratified by the powers tie is likely to en
counter a dilllcult task in satisfying thi
people , who appear to bo still ardontlj
loyal to the deposed prince , Alexander.
IT will not bo questioned that ex-Sen
ator McDonald , of Indiana , is as wel
qualified to speak for the democrats o
that state as any other living man. Hi
knows them thoroughly , and hai at
overmastering personal interest in keep
ng himself tully informed as to thoii
opinions and desires. Talking of tin
recent election , Mr. McDonald admittei
that the democratic disaffection in In
diana was due chiolly to the civil sorvici
policy of the administration. Accordiij !
to this leader of Indiana democracy the
objection of the party in that state is
not to the enforcement of the civil ser
vice law , which the administration ii
bound to do , but to the fact that it likes
to enforce it , and does so "with an appc
tile which is too great for the digestion
of Indiana. " Said Mr. McDonald
"Tlie civil service law is very unpopulai
in Indiana , and it is as unpopular to-daj
as it ever was. " The ex-senator is it
sy-nipathv with the masses of his home
party in this respect , as was tlio late Air
Hendricks , who never lost an opportun
ity to show his contempt of the law am :
of the policy of the president in pur
snance of it. This feeling is not peculiai
to tlio democracy of Indiana. It is nt
less general and s'trong with tlio masse.
of the party in New York , whose demo
oratic governor represents tlio opposi
tion to the civil service reform policy ol
the administration. It prevails in Penn
sylvannv , and is a chief source
of democratic disaffection in most
other states , even Massachusetts-
having a large clement of the
party opposed to the reform. Yet the
president professed to DO able to iina in
the results of the late elections an en
dorsement of his civil service policy. The
democratic party managers , however ,
who mingle with the people , know better ,
The democrats of the country , at least
the intelligent portion of them , expected
that the law would be enforced , but the
fact that a democratic president likes the
duty and performs it with an appetite is
disappointing ana offensive to them.
They had hoped for and counted upon a
different policy , as tlie result of powerful
partj pressure and the transfer of Mr.
Cleveland to a broader Held of political
action and experience. Some , doubtless ,
arc still hopeful that before tlie close of
his terra the president will modify his
polie.y and give the party a better allow
for the spoils , but the majority probably
have no such expectation. And. there is
really no good reason why they should
feel otherwise. Mr. Cleveland is evi
dently ludlssolubly wedded to his idol ,
and under tint influence of mugwump ap
proval is deaf to the demands of his party
or the warning of events.
Mit. CAiir.Lsr.i : has reached the conclu
sion that "political life is very uncertain
nnU full of discomforts an-J vexations. "
Personally he is eupposed not to have
had a very hard and tronblcionio experi
ence , but on the whole to have had an
exceptionally easy as well as fortunate
political career. If his late narrow es
cape was sutliciont to produce gloomy
reflections , what would he think had ho
passed through thu ordeals of Mr ,
Frank lluril , for example , or was a suf
ferer in common with Mr. Win. II. Mor
risen ? JVcry Hkply Mr. Carlisle is not
entirely Palislhdiwith the outlook either
for himself or his parly.
SI.VATOII VAN'WVOK ' can't suit all par-
tics and lie has ut ] wish to do so. Hn is
denounced by the railroad democrats be
cause ho is too -good a republican , anil
scored by the railroad republicans be
cause ho has declined to yote with rail
road monopolist } . Hoth factions have
ono fault to find , with tlio general. His
vote is not in the market , and all the
Goulds , Dillons and Stanfords combined
cannot purchase ; it. Under such circum
stances all tlio .rJjUlrogues concede that
tlm senator is a styngoroiis man for the
interests of tlie gneat corporations.
Nononv over heard of Mr. Stowe as a
leading democrat in Omaha , oven in a
ward caucus , until Lyman H. Tower ,
Charley Greene , Mr. Holdroge and
Dr. Miller discovered that ho was just the
kind of a democrat to make laws for the
state of Hurlington and help to elect a
railroad dummy to tlie United States
senate. _ _

Iorm.WYO. . . Nov. 0. [ Corrc.spon-
donee of the linn. ] One of the remind
er * thai man has invaded this erstwhile
haunt of nature with the intention of re
maining was allbrded yesterday , when a
corps of surveyors lu the employ of the
Northwestern Town.site company began
platting additional area into residence
lota. Although over ifS-VlM has already
been pa.d tlm company for such prop
erty , the demand exceeds the si pply.
The toii'lency ' of the town Is north and
northeast.
At the general election on Tuesday the
vote showed ' 'ID electors. As one re
quisite iiialilcalion | ! is M.months' resi-
denoi1 in the te.rritnry , the t-howiiig is a
good ono. It was a very orderly , al
though spirited election , and the residence
rule was strictly enforced. The result
showed that the town Marts out with re
publican tendencies , that ticket being in
a inajontv by la to 1(1 ( votes. Had all the
adult residents boon permitted to ballot ,
it is probable fiOtl votes would have been
polled ami thu republican majority would
have proportionally increased.
Dotiirlns will uxpe.riencu a quiet win
ter. Yet , inquiry elicits tno expectation
among the most sensible business men
that all will "make a live" of it. Some
Itade is expected from the cowmen al
though it. must bo confessed that the pop
ular notion of the opulence of the
cowboy for a week or more
after ho strikes town , and his
penury for the rest of the
season , is something of an exaggeration.
The cowboy of I87U and he ot ItWti are
not alike , ft is the result of observation
that has been miido bv your correspond
ent for four years in U voming , that the
young man who rides the range at $10 to
} ( ! ; ) per month and "grub. " is constantly
becoming inoru carcinl of the dollars of
Ins -.laddies which lie obtains in this labor
ious way. lie is irc.tting greatly into the
habit , of accepting hospitality of the ranch
in the winter and seems to inmiliro in the
strange belief that his money is as well
oirin the bank , as in tlie pockets of tint
denier in liquid cereals. While this may
not make tlie lion/on so crimson or
money M > Ilimh in the frontier towns as
of yore , it still results in a greater gooil
and that is that the cowboy of to-duy is
very likely to be the small .stockman of
live years hence , and have a comfortable
log "hack by the side of some limpid
stream , together with a wife and a pretty
baby or two. There are u good many
small ranchmen to be found within two
hours ride of this place , whose undisguis-
able patois to.lls you fit once that they
have roped the Texas steer. While they
have not expended their earning so much
"at once , " they h ivu added to the wealth
of the country which is tributary to thu
'
town and iir n positive aid in bull'dingup
the moro permanent kinds of commercial
industry.
It is probable , if reports be true , that
Douglas will have a iluily paper in a few
weeks. It already boasts of a thoroughly
equipped steam power printing estab
lishment ; , from which the Howdy West is
issued by Colonel Kimball , late of Audti-
bon. la. The colonel was the first in the
field in newspaper enterprise , and your
correspondent found him in a TxO'tcnt
when ihe MIOW wns still on the ground
. March Ho is . lino-haired
last. not. a - jour
nalist , and his publication is not charuc- '
leri.stio lor idegtincc of diction or sur- '
feiteJ with rhetorical periods ; but he is
irrepressible , indomitable and "gets ,
there" where many other men of more
sympathy with and euro to the modus
operand ) of things would fail. He be
lieves in that cardinal principle of jour
nalism that "it is not so much matter
what you do aa long as you do some
thing "
Now that the question of whether the
Wyoming Central is to build farther than
the Pintle river which it strikes for tlm '
first at this point and is to pursue its 4
westward course next year , is definitely '
settled , audit is sure that another sixty i
miles will bo constnietcd , thu business j
men of Douglas are iinlimlTioiiHly con- ,
forrmg as to the ways and means of securing - (
curing advantageous freight ratua which
will enable them to supply the imwly
opened country with goods. There Is , In
fact , a very commendable spirit of enter
prise and a determination to make the
jobbing trade no small part of the com
mercial industry of the town. Already I
we boast of four distinct , wholesale ostab- !
jishments. This action ot the merchants
i.s in no wise premature. , because thu
railroad will reach by September. 1877 ,
the oil country and ( ho famous Sweet-
walnr valley. Regarding that section of
Wyoming there are no contradictory rn-
ports. All visitors commend its agrioui-
inriil and mineral nismirceit. Tlie lubri-
paling oil which bubble.- ; from the ground
in many nlacos is unexcelled in quality ,
mil .seemingly inexhaustible in quantity.
