OMAHA'S charter was too restricted fern
n city of 40,000. It nuts like a stra'ght '
jacket on a metropolis of double tlr.it
number.
Tnn papers which unthusud so hilari
ously over Church Howe and his canvass
urn now busy explaining to their readers
how it all happened. They advance every
reason out that of their own want of in-
llucnco , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tunui : are two sides to the KTr/tTatt
arrest. Suppose the police had refused
to respond to the call for his removal , or
suppose they had declined to interfere
anil Moll'attin his froir/.y had struck down
Ills own wife or Mrs. Tliioinun , what
would have been said of tiic conduct of
the police in that case ?
IT is said the president lost no friends
among the Washington correspondents
by reason of his attack on the newspapers
in Ins speccli at the Harvard dinner. Of
the ninety representatives of outside
newspapers at the national capital , the
ono man who was friendly to the president
before his tuldress is still Joncsomcly
loyal. _ _ _ _ _
Gdvniixoii DAWKS' proclamation ,
issued on the llth of November , has just
reached this ollico by ox train. The gov
ernor in very brief and in appropriate
turms coincides with CSrovor Cleveland
that Thursday , the 23th , shall be a legal
holiday anil a day of thanksgiving ; with
turkey and cranberry sauce thrown in.
TUB emphatic declaration of Lord
Salisbury that England intends to remain
in Egypt has been gracefully accepted by
Franco as a notilicution that she need no
longer press her claims. Franco is at
liberty now to turn her attention to Mada
gascar , which , it is claimed , is giving
larger concessions to English than to
Eronch colonists. It is amusing , llotr-
over , to hear a civilized'power talking.of
the hypocritical methods of action of the
pooplo.of Madagascar. Heathens and
barbariaiiH can scarcely bo said to lmvo-a
monopoly of hypocrisy.
THE serio-comic performance of cross-
purposes which tlio Bulgarians and the
ozar are playing on the theater- the
Balkans increases in interest. Prince
Waldomar's election by the sobranjo was
no sooner announced than it was fol
lowed by the report that the czar had
ohosoii'Princo ' Nicholas , of Mlngrolln , for
tho'Vacant Bulgarian throne. This Mill-
grolhm prince from beyond the Caucasus
would doubtless provo quite a fit instru
ment of Russian intrigue in the lialkans ,
but the Bulgarians do not' want him.
Ills selection , if the ropart bo tmo , can
bo regarded only as an insane freak of a
despot. The comedy in the Balkans is
developing into a grauil drama in which
all the great powers of > Europe will bo
Invited to take leading parts.
Aa only a democrat couhl be elected in
the New York district which will bo rep
resented in the fiftieth congress by Mr.
Amos J. Oummings , the party did wisely
and well in selecting that gentleman , in
the profession of journalism Mr. Cum *
tilings is one of the most widely ami
favorably known men in the country ,
llis'iiowapaper career began on the Tri
bune under Horace CSrcoloy , to whose
favor ho commended himself by conscien
tious and miporior work. His pnrticiihu
talent was for new * , and unquestionably
the credit is due him of having been
among the first to advance and develop
the MOWS feature in journalism. When
the Kiln passed under the control of Mr.
Dana , tli.it sagacious and able editoi
delected Cumminga as ono of his stall' ,
witli larger privileges than ho had before
enjoyed. The opportunity enabled hin
to more full ) * demonstrate his supurioi
qualifications , anil ho merits a very largo
share of the credit for the popularity am
excellence of the Sun as n newspaper
Ho is still connected with that journal
but no longer llnds it necessary to per
form the arduous and exacting labor tlui
was formerly required of him. Tor
bovcral years ho 1msbeen president of the
Now York 1'ress club and has tilled tin
position with marked ability. Ho is per
bunally one of the moat genial of men
and his friends are legion , It is Inform
from the attitude which the Sitn has main
tained toward the president tlmt Mr
Cummings will not be found among the
ardent supporters of tlio administration
in the next congress , If ho shall be as
useful as a legislator as lie has boon as .1
journalist his career in congress will be

Thn Solid Soutti. 1
The republican gains in Virginia and
\orlh Carolina in the late elections fur-
iish a ground of liopo that In the next
lational contest the democratic grip upon
ho southern section of the country may
jo broken and a largo breach made in
lie "solid South , " There is uorltaps no
treat amount of lailh to be placed in the
isstiranco of Mahono that Virginia will
MI found hereafter safely in the republi
can column , Such a prophecy \7otild carry
Itllc weight except us it Is supported by
conditions leadlnii the people of the state
n that direction apart from the Inlluenco
of politicians of the Mahono kind. It is
irobablc that if the future standing of
Virginia politically depended upon this
nlluonco solely , it would remain unalter
ably democratic , and It would perhaps
10 ( ] tuto as well tlmt It should. There is
no uvidonco that the Mahonu olomcnt lias
ilono anything for the credit or character
of the state , or that the ropubllcnn parly
as a whole was In the least degree bono-
lilted by the idcntilicatlon ofthatolcnicnt
with ! t. It would not be dillicult to show
that In both respects the ellcct hus
Lcen ) the opposite , The most powerful
consideration that is leading Vir-
; inia away from democracy is an
industrial one , and this is operat
ing with moro or less force
in other portions of the south. A great
deal of northern capital and enterprise
lias gone into Virginia within llio past
two years , and it has carried a sentiment
with it that is having its efl'ect upon local
capita and labor. That sentiment is
that both tiicso interests tire moru certain
of being conserved by tlm republican
than by the democratic party , since the
ono has a policy and can bo depended
upon for lidellty to its pledges , while the
other as a party has no financial and
economic policy , and because of bitter
factional divisions cannot ho depended
on to carry out any of its promises. This
was clearly and conspicuously illus
trated ut the last se&sion of congress ,
and is likely to bo again shown at the
coming session if the leaders of the ma
jority faction have not been so crushed
and intimidated by tlio results of the
elections that they will not attempt any
thins. As an agricultural state , Vir
ginia can hope lor little prosperity or
progress , but she has undevoloued re
sources which if utilized in mills , fac
tories and workshops within her own
boundaries , or convoyed to markets
where there is a demand for them , would
add greatly to her wealth and assure to
her a substantial and permanent
prosperity. The movement' for the
development of these resources
has begun , but their advance will depend
a good deal upon whut financial and
economic policies are to prevail , or
rather whether such policies are to be
periodically assailed and disturbed to
suit the caprices and ambitions of fac
tional political leaders of the class which
are found wholly in the democratic
party. This the people of Virginia ,
and of otiier portions of the south in
which industries are in process of de
velopment , are beginning to understand
and think about. The natural outcome
of such reflection is to weaken their
allegiance to democracy. Once having
got a fair start , as it appears now lo
have , tliis feeling will advance ravmlly ,
and it is reasonable to expect that it
will be found t\vo \ years hencn to have
gained largely in extent and strength.
The republican gain in North Carolina
is probably duo to a less substantial
reason than that in Virginia , and must in
a measure bo credited to democratic
apathy there , lint in the opportunity it
will give the republicans , with the help
of the independents , to reform legislation
in the interest of n freer and. larger
suffrage , it is of great value. If the
ballot in North- Carolina wore relieved
of the repressive influence winch
has hitherto been exercised respecting it
over a Jargcolomoiitof the voting popu
lation , that state would bo republican
always in national elections by a safe
majority. This result is now rendered
possible. Inroads upon democratic
majorities worn made elsewhere in the
south , in Maryland and Kentucky for
example , all of which are especially re
assuring in view of the faist that the first
democratic administration in nearly a
quarter of a oontury is < only half-through
its term.
Dr. Miller ladles out a tub full of packing
house hogwash to democrats in which
lie attempts to drown Charles Hi Brown
and other democrats who are offensive to
the demented autocrat. He prints a
cook and bull story about a sell-out and
trade of the democratic legislative ticket
in this county. Ho convoys the idea that
the. schemeto elojt Boyd or Miller us a
successor to Van Wyck would have oar-
ricd if Brown , Martin and other demo
crats had not interfered. He has the im
pudence to assure democrats that the
breaking down of the senatorial ticket
was brought about by interfcronco on the
part of this paper and its editor. The
hoary headed reprobate oven charges that
pressure was brought upon Fred Mela to
Induce him to withdraw , and that Charles
U. IJustin got oil'tho ticket because Jim
Croighton was forced oY ( , and that Jim
Creighton was crowded oil' by threats
from this quarter. Dr. Miller lied , and
ho know that he lied when he. in ado this
assertion. He know that Fred Motz pub
licly and privately refused to allow his
name to bo used in connection with the
legislature. Mr. MoU served notice
upon delegates to the democratic fonven-
tiou that he would not hcrve if elected ,
Tiio use of Mr. Met/'s name in connec
tion witii the lloat semitorship was an im
position , and its dc.sign plainly was to
commit the solid liquor dealer vote to the
democratic ticket. The open IcUorn to
Mr. Her which Dr. Miller wrolo wore
part and parcel of this imposture.
Charles B.Kusllii wasa thousand miles
away from Omaha when he was nouiii
nutud. The convention hud no right to
iiao his namu in the convention , and his
refusal to run was in no way brought
about by outside inllucnco. Mr. Hustin
could not have been hired at any price lo
go to the lcgislatureand Dr. Miller knew
that fact as well as wo did. There was
no pressure brought by anybody , leastwise -
wise anybody connected with the Bin : , to
drive James Crcigtitou oil' the ticket.
His nomination , in view of McHlmno's
oundidaoy , was pronounced a blunder ,
and Jiuble too add many votes to Church
Howe. That , doubtless , was the reason
why Dr. Miller , who hates him and all
the other Croightons , was gratified ac his
candidacy. The only protest miulo was
before Crejghton was nominated. Mr.
Creighton was doubtless anxious to run ,
for what purpose we can't dlviuc. ilia
nomination was generally regarded as
lighly improper for the additional reason
that as a member of the Croighton-Mnr-
rihy Co. , the leading contractors ot pub
ic works , ho was in no position to give
its a charter which might clash with his
iirivato Interests. To sum up , the demo
cratic senatorial card house fell to pieces
because It was built that way. It would
liavo been the same way with the repub
lican ticket if the candidates had been
nominated against their own wishes and
without their own nonscnt.
The essence of the packing house hog
wash which spatters all over the Douglas -
las county democracy is the fact that the
schemoof the brokers'In federal patronage -
ago has peon frustrated by the election
of MbShauo and the defeat of the mon
opoly democratic candidates for tlio leg
islature. The defunct linn finds Itself
politically bankrupted by the November
land slide , and Dr. Miller has gone
almost crazy over the result.
The Dccny of the CotnMook.
Deep mining has ceased on the great
Comstock lode. The news comes from
San r'ranclsco that all operations in the
lower levels of the bonanza mines have
been ordered stopped , anil the water
which has been fought for moro than
eight years by its mammoth pumps 1ms
been given undisputed sway in the de
serted workings. There is moro import
ance in the announcement than is ap
parent at the first glance. The six year ?
from 1813 to 1878 wore the years of plenty
for the Nevada mine owners on the Coin-
stock. During this period more than
$200,000,000 worth of precious
metals wore dlig from the mines
on the crcat lode. These wore
the palmy days of Virginia City
and the San Francisco stock market ,
during which the Fairs and Muckoys and
O'Briens heaped up the colossal fortunes
which the "bonanza "
brought name king"
into tiio vocabulary of wealth. Money
flowed in the mining camps almost as
freely as the water , in the lower levels of
the mines themselves. Work was plenty
and wages high. Prosperity blossomed
as if its bloom was lo be perennial. But
in 1378 the ore bodies on the upper levels
began lo fail. Believing Unit the veins
were inexhaustible the shafts wore sunk
deeper and deeper. The ere body was
followed far down Into the bowels of the
earth. But , with further pry
ing into her secrets nature
stood ready to do battle. Excessive
heat was encountered' which compelled
artificial ventilation to make work toler
able. Floods of water poured into shafts
and wings. Enormous pumps , main
tained at great expense , were required to
hold the water in check. For n time the
battle against nature was successful.
Mining was continued and largo amounts
of ere were , raised to the surface and
marketed. But it proved n losing game ,
after all , scarcely paying expenses , and
leaving dividends ( mile out of the ques
tion. Finally the pursuit was abandoned.
Three companies maintained the pumps
and ono refusing any longer lo pay its
share ot the expense of keeping
the machinery in motion the
others have suspended work and deep
mining on the Comstock is buried be
neath the subterranean floods which ebb
and How in the heart of the bonanza
lode. The abandonment of the lower
levels means the abandonment of the
Comstock nb no late day. It means a
prompt reduction in the silver produc
tion of Nevar1 : ! . and a corresponding de
crease in tlie output of our American
mines. The low price of bilvcr has al
ready caused a suspension of mining
operations in other sections of the west.
Perhaps thn silver problem is in process
of quiet solution by means which Jio out
side if congressional discussions and
lea'slativo ' votes. The cause which has
so largely appreciated the relative value
of gold may yet'oporalo lo decrease Hie
ratio of the two metals by enhancing tlio
value of silver.
GotTlicin On till )
Within twenty-four hours after the
polls were closed the B , & M. managers
were confidently * informing their friends
that Van Wyck was certainly defeated.
They have since found a number of rea
sons why. they should modify tlioir" en
thusiasm and' reverse theirestimates. .
Ollicial returns changed the complexion
of affairs .very largely-and- brought with
them the defeat of several legislative
tools which the monopolies hud' confi
dently counted on. First news is not al
ways-reliable , as tlio political managers
of thn allied corporations have discov
ered.
But the strength which General Van
Wyck'H canvass developed has only
spurred the political attorney's
of the railroads to greater
efforts. They are now working desper
ately * to undo-us far as- possible before
the legislature meets the work-of the people
ple at the polls. Several important'con-
foroucos have beenihold diiring'the past
weak to map out the legislative and sen
atorial campaigns. Following out Jay
Gould's historic statement that it Is
ciieaper to buy a legislature when elected
than to cpend largo sums of 11101103 * in
electing one to suit yourself , the corpor-
atlon corruplionisls are laying their
plans to secure the favor of the new
members who cannot yet bo counted
11)1011 ) to fall into llio ranks with the old
gang , llailroad agculs arc Bkurrying
over the counties to fee how tlio political
land lies. The ollicial returns are
being carefully scanned to check off the
doubtful men. III a few weeks the MISS
books will be drawn upon for the prelim
inary "touchers" and the freight ollico
will bo vibited to set ) if a few "slight re
bates" cannot bo placed where they will
do most good. Tlio old system of corpor
ate corruption is once more to bo put
into operation in the hope of securing the
old results. Every member elect to the
legislature is now un object of interest to
the railroads. The political attorneys
have got them on their list , The publiu
has got its oyu on these corporate Jioko's.
The Chicago Situation.
There is gratifying promise that the
strike , of the packers at Chicago , the most
formidable in the numoer of men in
volved , if not in the interests at stake ,
since the memorable railroad strikes of
1877 , is ut un end. It is so if. the men en
caged in it who owe allegi
ance to tho- Knights of Labor
obey the mandate of Mr. Paw-
dorly instead of following the counsels of
( Jeorge Schilling and some other chronic ,
agitators whoso business scums to bo to
mnko and maintain trouble. If appears
from the order of Mr , Powdorly directing
the Knights pf Labor iu the strike to ru-
turn to work , that their 'going put.
disregard of the heretofore announced
policy of the organization on the eight-
hour question , and is evidently regarded
by the chief niilstor workman and his as
sociate ofllclals as a violation of the re
quirements of the order which should
have bern well understood.
Without considering the merits of the
Issue , the linn stand taken by Mr. Pow
dorly in maintaining the authority of the
organization of wln'oh lie is the head over
its members cannot bo too heartily com
manded , "We must have obedience and
discipline , " 13 the language with
which Mr. Pon'ilorly ' concludes his or
der , and to assure the men that he was
not trilling he directed thai If they refused
obedience their charters should bo taken.
This is a more decided position than the
chief master workman had over before
assumed , nnd it will undoubtedly prove
oonclicml , not alone In tlio present In
stance , but as a check to rash notion
hereafter on the part of mem
bers of the Knights of Labor who
have a grievance , and who may bo
disno.'cd to yield too readily to counsel
lors outside of llio order. If the organi
zation is to bo maintained and strength
ened , and to bo made a ustiful power in
the interest of labor worthy of tlio public
respect and confidence , there must bo
obedience and discipline among the mem
bers. No organization can bo permanent
or useful in which these most essential
requirements are wauling.

The Molfatt case is made theoxciisc1 for
another demand all along the line for the
head of Marshal dimming * . The details
of Mofl'ntt's arrest are portrayed In glar
ing colora , and passion and prejudice are
roused by flaring editorials which have
ns their only object and purpose the re
moval of the marshal , J'lie election Is
over and wo have no political axe which
Mr. Cummings is in position to sharpen.
Wo have no disposition lo shield llio mar
shal from responsibility which belonirs to
him. iNordowo propose lo gloss over
any wrong clone by the police in
the treatment of Mr. Moffatt. If marshal
Cummings is in anyway to blame , per
sonally or olllciallyin the Moifalt ca.o ho
should be promptly suspended or re
moved. If , on the othnr hand , 'his con
certed howl against him is merely duo to
political spleen and a renewal of the
many attempts to get rid of him under
some prctoxl , wo do not propose lo lend
a helping hand , From a standpoint of
common justice , wo fail to sec why Mar
shal Cummings should sutler from the in
discretion or cruelty of a policeman over
whose actions ho had no control at the
time. Wo do not pioposo to revamp the
whole .story. Sullico it to say that wo
know the marshal was not presenter
or consulted when the arrest
was made , nor had lie anything
whatever lo do personally with the re
moval of Moifalt to the station or from
the .station lo the hospital. The arrest
was made between three and four o'clock
m the morning and the marshal had gone
home at midnight. But from every
direction comes this cry : "Kemove the
marshal ; take off his head , anyway. "
Somebody must be punished , and Cum-
tilings is just the man to pacify the mob.
AVe submit , in all candor , that Cum
mings is no more to blame- than Mayor
Boyd or the city council. The mayor ,
under our wretched system , appoints the
police and the council confirms.
Out of the thirty-six policemen
now on duty. all but eight
were appointed by Mayor Boyd. If
these policemen are brutes , ignoramuses
and sots who is to blame , Marshal Cummings -
mings or llio mayor who pioKed Ihom and
forced them upon Cummings and llio
oityV Perhaps one-half of the police were
appointed by Mr. Boyd at Pat Ford'fl re
quest , but Pat Ford is the loudest in his
demand for Marshal Cummmg's head.
Another question arises. Suppose Cummings -
mings is removed , can wo expect any bet
tor police protection as long as the pres
ent.police force and the system under
which it is maintained arc allowed to con
tinue ? Who will accept Ciimmings'
place for four months unless he
lias other designs than police discipline ?
Instead of Imminering'tho marshal who
is tied hands and feet , beset on all Hid as
by spies and malicious enemies , let ns
striKe down the system that makes our
police incfllcionl and prevents-all disci
pline. We can effect this only through a
change in our charter and by the urea-
lion of a police commission that will
place the police force on a civil service
basis and do away with the trading ot
ward coiineilini'ii'in police appointments.

The amount of exports in Italy from
January 1 to October I of the- current
year was ? ; i7GOli,000 francs , an increase
of about 82,000,000 over last year during
the same period. The importations
amounted to l,018HOOtOU francs , an in
crease of 13,201,000 Iranos since last year.
These totals show an excess of importa
tions over exportalions amounting to
over 810,000,000. The increase of 82,000,000
in the expurlalions is due principally to
wine and oils (00,000,000) ( ) and silk
(20,000,000) ( ) .

The second French surgical congress
has just closed its sessions in Paris. In
Gcrmany.thid annual reunion of surgeons
from all parts of the country , has been u
standing custom for the past fifteen
years. The French have been slow to
follow this example. Dr. Demons-of ,
Bordeaux , was the first lo'snirgost ' such n
congress , in March , 1884i Tlio idon > was
immediately taken up , and , in the follow
ing spring , the surgical congress met in
the Paris school of medicine , where the
second one has just been hold. The num
ber of delegates was larger this yeartlmn
last , and'the papers moro interesting and
varied , so that llio institution of' an
annual mcotlng'of surgeons may now Im
considered as acclimated in Franco. Before -
fore separating , it. was decidiul.that the
next congress should' lie held in April ,
1887. and not in the nutiimnjn order Unit
foreign surgeons could' moro easily bo
present.
Hero are some interesting , particulars
about tliu Paris population : The doiiMty
of the population diminishes in quarters
Mtuatctl between the Sumo and the
boulevards , while it iinn-eases in the out
lying wards , especially in the northern
"celion. The increase of this density is
still more marked and more rapid in the
huDiirlmn communes. On an average ,
Paris counts 2i,0iO ! : inhabitants for every
hectare ( about two and u half acres ) whilst
the rest of Franco has only seventy-two.
And yetllio density of the Parisian popu
lation , reduced by the enlargement of
the ntreots , the increase of public parks
and squares , its less to-day than it was in
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries ;
it is below that of Biirlin , Venice ) and
Genoa.

Italians often complain that there i s no

not take enough pains to awaken among
the voters a desire to examine matters ut
general interest. The level of public
spirit must bo raised , bttt this ran alone
be accomplished through the Initiative of
the government. It Is only by taking
upon Itself this superior direction of pee

Since the advent of the republic in
Kranoo. the ministers have been in the
habit of making little speechif.yintr tours.
Under the monarchy and the empire , it
was only the king or the emperor who
u.sed to "swing around the circle.1 Tlm
republican innovation is a good one , fcr
this ministerial oratory sets the people to
thinking on the inii' tions of the hour.
Franco uocs not on joy llio political ediua
tlon that the American nation gets every
four years. Stumpingis almost unknown
thuro , or at least it is only in its Infancy
But , at the same time , this ministerl'il
campaigning has at least ono .serious ob
jection , as the Paris correspondent nf
the Journal do Bruxolles has well pointed
out. The ministers are apt to make all
sorts of promises to the people , which
they lind tnoy cannot keep when th/if / ap
pear before the ( . dumber. They aiv ,
therefore , placed between Iwo lires , nnd
lose tlie conliiletici ! of both the voter- ,
and the deputies , This was ono of the
principal causes of llio recent ministerial
uheok that almost resulted in the ovi r
throw ot the Froyclnot cabinet.
Alcohol has long been ono of the
sources of the riches of Franco. All con
sumers know that Franco enjoys Un
natural monopoly of good brandy , on ac
count of its cHmato , soil , well-kept vine
yards , the excellence of the fruit and
cleverness in tlio preparation of spirits ,
\yhich acquisition dates from the earliest
times. The liqueurs trade may now bo
added to that of cognacs and armngmics.
The alcohol industry 1ms since become of
the llrst importance to Franco. Distil
ling goes on everywhere , and FO docs the
fabrication of liqueurs of every imagin
able kind , which are exported in bottles
of all shapes , colors , and bearing all sorts
of mimes. This alcohol trade has un-
rioded many a. family. Here is ono ex
ample from many that might bo cited.
About sixty years ago a young couple left
Cognac with -1,000 francs in their purse ,
and settled at Bordeaux for the purpose.
of carrying on business in brandy with
the United States. They prospered and
loft behind them a fortune of from twelve
to fifteen millions , a large portion of
which was willed to the city ot Bordeaux
for benciiccnt purposes.
