THE democrats arc now consoling themselves over the Kentucky election by calling it a healthful scaro. They piay conlidcntly look forward to such healthy reactions. In 1883 they will Do doubt bo entirely cured. THE democrats of Virginia will bo in the sweat-box for the next three months Ex-Senator Mithono has opened np his campaign. While the chances tire Against his carrying the legislature , he will make it exceedingly lively for hh opponents. CINCINNATI invites the president tc that city to see "its matchless Hro depart uont , " Mr. Cleveland will of course be nterestcd in seeijisc the ruins of the Jtirstcd lidelity bank , and the recently ebbed treasury ol the Cincinnati , Ham- lion & Dayton railroad , Cincinnati possesses rare attractions. IF President Cleveland , before he goes off to the mountains of West Virginia , would take time to go over to the trensurj department and throw Eugene Higgini out of the third story window , he would have no trouble in establishing the poinl lliat ho was at least a parti&l friend of civi Service reform.

It is duo to the public and but justic 11 lo Iho ( rionds of the woman found dea | f In the jail yesterday , and the police alsc iji that a full investigation should bo at one 51 made in the mattor. That a huma being could die without the knowlodgi of thn ofllcers in their very presence : iu then bo hustled off after a short iuqucs to bo buried in the potter's Field withou communication with her relatives , as ar the facts in the case , Is too grave a matter tor to pass unnoticed , without an oflbi to find upon whom the responsibility lie ; THE secretary of the treasury has fit Rlly sat down on the Now York board o emigrant commissioners , lie inform them that they have no authority to dc cldo as to what immigrants can or ca not laud. Their duty Is simply to luve.il igato and report to the collector of tb port. Those arbitrary commisuionora who have been in the habit of sondln back immigrants according to their owi Bweot will and have indulged in a gooi deal of spite work toward certain steam hip companlea and othora , will thui fin thoniHelvus In an uncomfortable posltloi fts violators of the law. TnKRK is evidently a growing oppo tniitty for a thorough investigation < the police force. The indication a are thi the colored women who died yesterd * tnorning In Jail wai the victim of brutalll from members of the police. It is ba enough to be thrown in the ditty statloi but when prisoners are kicked to deat by the appointed guardians of the law , is high time that their oasei be invest gaUd. The circumstances surrounding tt case , show an implication on tbo part < ollicpr Crawford tuut cannot bo ver comforting to that individual , wbth < t" v bo true or falia , Financial Unrtoronrrcntw. Some of the conditions that conlrlbatc ! o the prevailing financial distrust arc very likely not to bo nptod by the casual observer * They do not stand out promi nently on the stirfaco of affairs , but arc rather the undercurrents which are likclj to bo recognized and properly estimated only by those who arc most actively oh ; ngod In financial operations , and whose business it is to note and duly consldoi every aspect and condition of Iho situa tion. The salinnt fact that there Is r considerable surplus In the national treasury , and that this is certain to b < largely increased bcforo any legls lation by congress for rcduclnf the revenues can become operative tivo , is about the onlyono which is generally orally referred to as explaining the ap prehension said to exist in financial cir clcs. It is doubtless the chlof cause , bui it must bo borne in mind that the surplui has been much larger than it Is now , and that while the country is again con fronted , as it ban before boon , by the prospect of another vast accumulator in the treasury , the circulation in thi past year has increased nearly f 70,000 , 000. With this present excess of cur rcncy In the hands of the people ovoi the amount at this date a year ago , i Ecetns clear that if there were no othei cause of financial distrust than tin accumulation of a treasury surplus Uili should not bo sufilciont to create sorioui alarm. It is an evil that must bo remedied died , but if it were not supplemented bj other unfavorable conditions need not bi regarded as of imminent danger. Everybody understands that there hai boon a great expansion in all depart nicnts of business and industry during the past year , and that while the largo i part of this has been legitimate , a con sldorablo portion has been speculative Leaving out of consideration the purely gambling operations , as the ; Chicacc wheat deal , which resulted in the dis astrous failure of the Fidelity banl of Cincinnati , the great codec specula tion , and the just ended San Franciscc wheat deal , all of which had a mcasun of unfavorable influence in financial cir cles , there has boon a vast amount of ex penditure regarding the immodl ate results of which thcro i ! uncertainty , and numerous operations ations of u character to create distrust During the past twelve months manj millions of dollars have boon taken fron the raonoy centers of the east for rail roaiis in the west and south and has ro maincd thoro. A part of it at least wil in time bo returned in the course of bust ness , but just how soon or to whal amount cannot be determined witt any degree of certainty. Other larg < sums have gone into real estate investments monts , not all of which are giving re turns and a part of which may never dc so. Then the manifestations of grcal properties , as in the case of the Baltimore & Ohio and the Cincinnati , Hamiltor & Dayton railroads , and the ap parent depression of large Indus tries indicated in the creatior of "trusts" designed to limit produc. tion and advance prices , have contritm ted to weaken confidence and to rendei capital extremely cautious. It is noted that ever since Juno there has boon v steady general decrease in the amount of deposits in the New York banks. The conservative banks changed thoii tlmo loam , into call loans and have not boon willing : o take any chances. There has been i lack of co ufidence , due largely to the undercurrents we have noted ; rathci than , as is commonly supposed , wholly to the existence of a treasury surplus ant the certainty of its being considerably enlarged. Thcso undercurrents will probably continue to operate to some extent , but n better fooling has obtained since the circular was issued announcing the polio ; to bo adopted by the treasury to help the money market. There is a difference ol opinion among financiers as to thi probable results of the score tary's proposals , though quiti generally it is thought ho will have n dilliculty in getting at a fair prcmiun the nmoant of bonds he requires for tin Kinking fund , but whatever the outcotui shall bo tha fact that the treasury is dis posed to use every legal means it has ti secure the money market against senou disturbance has bad a reassuring effect There is no actual stringency in mono , for legitimate purposes. VV hat is lack ing is confidence. When this shall b restored , to which the action of the trcas ury has contributed and whieh wis revenue legislation by congress can full ; accomplish , it will bo found that th country hast an ample supply of mono for its needs. The Jobbur * anil Judge Wakolejr. Some people never know when tbo are well off. The attempt of the Jtepul llican to call in question the righteous di cision of Judge Wakeley in the secon In junction suit brought to stop the IIIM less rapacity of its proprietors in cor spiracy with the council bosses , calls fo a rebuke. We do not propose to defend Judg Wakoloy. Ills reputation and standin protect him aufllciuntly. Wo are just : lied , however , in reviewing tha infamou and outrageous conduct of a brace c adventures , who came to Omah only a few months ago wit the deliberate design to plllag and plunder the public through th influence of a newspaper which the bought with mouoy filched from the goi eminent. They had scarcely been i this city ninety days when they cntcre into a conspiracy with a gang of boodl contractors and oil-room bribe-givers t m utilate the Omaha charter , framed by committee of the most prominent ct ! zons and supported by our leglalatlv delegation. lu this effort they were partly success ul. Through the boodlors of the jt dietary committee of the house , they ha the provisions which would euabl Onikha to acquire park * and lay ot boulevards struck out ; they helped t neutralize the fuciencv of the board c public works , changed the pollc commission from an appointive ofllc by the mayor , in expectancy tin the governor would fill the position * i their dictation , and deprived our citizen of the benefit of equitable taxation c railroad property. This hlgh-hande deviltry WHS curried on under pretense ; c a personal war upon 'the editor of th UZK , who was one of tbu committee tha had drafted the charter. Incidentally , the boodlera and cormui ants made radical changes In the odjclt printing oluuse , which required the coui ell | ii considering b { < ls.for advertising t take Into account the relative circulation of each dally. Every business man win knows the diQcrcnco in the value of ad vertising mediums must concede that such a provision was'equitable and In the interest of the taxpayers. But the job bers had their own way , and substituted n clause which obligates the council tc let the advertising to the lowest respon sible bidder. That the Republican could well afford to bid way below any other dailj in Omaha is solf-ovidcnt , it view of its very llraltoc circulation , but that was not the doslgr of Cadet Taylor and his rascally copar ccncra. They were determined to get the ad vortlsing at all hazards , without compo titlon , at rates way above those ohargec to their ordinary patrons. The schemlnf and plotting was sot In motion immodl atoly after the charter was signed by thi governor. Councilman Kicrstcd wai importuned to pledge himself to vote thi city printing to the llcpublican before hi was oven elected. Mr. Klerstcad reminded minded the conspirators that the ohartoi required the advertising to bo lot ty contract to the lowest bidder , lie wai told that it made "no difference what thi charter said or who the lowest bidder - dor would bo. Wo print the ropubllcpi paper and if the republicans elect a ma jority of the council , the advertising belongs longs to us. " This was the beginning of the plot which compelled an appeal to the courts From first to last it has been character ized by methods which only boodlers ant jobbers resort to. By pandering to tin council bosses , associating in tholr or gies of dissipation and cabals against thi police commission , the govornmon printing jobbers made themselves solu with Ilascall , Manvlllo , Ford , IScchel & Co , The city olork was used as a cat'i paw and the city attorney as a tool. The next stop was the blind advertise ment for "oats , hay , coal , printing nm corn , for the fiscal year ending July 1st 1888. " This was a game of "heads , 1 win ; tails , you losa. " If the Ropublicar proved to bo the lowest bidder , i was to bo awarded the contract but if any competitor was lower all bids were to bo thrown out because the fiscal year begins and ends with Jnn uary 1under the now charter. To maki assurranco doubly sure , Cadet Tayloi filed three bids for n paper that onlj prints ono edition daily. When thi ; trickster found ho had no competition ho withdrew two of the bids and left thi bid which was rushed through by Man vllle , Ford & Co. , after one-third of thi councilman had left the chamber. Thii palpable fraud was enjoined by Judg < GrofT after a full hearing with Thurstor and Webster pleading in favor of th < job.It It became the manifest duty of th < council after this injunction to ro-advor- tiso according to law and invite compo titlon which was sure to result in mucl lower rates. But rascality and rapacitj were irrepressible. The resolution tc invite now proposals was pigeon- haled , and still remains in the pockets o : the printing committee of whicl Manville nnd Ford arc the major ity. To "whip the devil around thi stump , "n resolution was passed directing city officials to insert all official advertis ing in the Jlcpublican until further orders dors .at the rates charged by the BEE under its contract for this year. Tin charter requires this resolution , which i : in the nature of a contract to bo sub milled to the mayor for approval , but tin jobbers and conspiring city ofiicials.fcar ing a veto , ignored the mayor and put i into oflect in defiance of law and con tempt of the courts. Tholr pretext wai that City Attorney Webster pronounccc the order , nullifying Judge Groff's in junction , as legal and proper. Mr Webster appeared bcforo Judge Wako Icy in defense of this brazen job , bu after a very patient hearing am mature ) consideration the jobber and tricksters were enjoined b ; Judge Wakeley and admonishci to cense their underhanded work. Fron a business standpoint the order of th council to advertise in the Republican n the same rates which the HIM : has ol llgatcd itself to accept under its contrac shows connivance with jobbery on it face. Why should the city pay the He publican the same rates it has paid th BEE when any homo or foreign advot User can buy advertising space in th the Republican at his own price. Onl ; last week Cadet Taylor raado a contrac with an Omaha advertiser for two col titnns of display to appear four days cacl week , including Sunday , and in cac weekly edition for two mouths , also 40 lines of local notices , to be insortc during fair week , payable on Novcmbe 1 , for the sum of $100. This contract , duplicated in the BEI would cost f 1,028.75. When it is born in mind that the city paid $433 for a col uuin and a half in the Kepublican for on mouth , the arrant knavery of the outfi that is finding fault with Judge Wakeley' ' injunction must be manifest to the mot reckless councilman. While the BEE ha given the city the benefit of rates full -SO per cent below these charged its com mercia ) patrons , the Republican has GJ acted from five to twenty times as muc from the city as it is willing to accoj from anybody olso. And why should th city want to advertise In n paper that ha scarcely 1.000 circulation in Omaha s long as It cun advertise for the same pric in a paper that circulates nearly 7,00 dailies in our city limits. A Change For the nutter. Kentucky is still in the democratic col umn , but bourbon control in that stal has suffer ml a material loss in popula support. The indications are that the ol ficial count will show the democratic mi jorlty to bo about twenty thousand , whic is a falling off of fully fifty per cent fret the normal majority. In the last tw presidential elections Hancock and Cleveland land received respectively 81,000 am 81,839 majority , but in the last two guboi notarial elections proceeding the on just held the democratic majo : tiou exceeded 40,000. If i the late election , the majority U show : by the ofliclal figures to be only 13,00 It may fairly bo regarded ai a loss of C per cent , certainly a very slgnlBcaa falling off. U ii a change for the bettor which ca bo welcomed by every friend of politica progress. No itato hvs ; been more heavil handicapped by a stubborn and unprc grejsiva bourbonUm than Kentucky , an If tbc result of the late eleution real ! shows tlut there Is a revolt against thi .domination , It furnishes ground of hop that > the etuto may at no diitaut da bo fully redeemed. Such a rcsul must como It the people can be brought to think seriously and Intolll gently upon the llvlnir questions tha concern thom equally with the people ol the ontlro country , but to which In the past the masses havd really given vorj llttlo attention. Perhaps in no ollici stutn would there be found less genera enlightenment rc3p6otlng questions ol national concern than among the pcopli of Kentucky , anil yet no people an more entirely sclf-EJatlslicd. It wouli scent to bo evident , [ however , that then Is a strong leaven [ at work oporatluj gradually but surely in producing ( \ \ < ncodod change , which when fully accomplished complishod will bring great bonollts b the state in all directions. Counting on Kentucky to become como republican in the proson gcnoration may furnish pleasant pastitn to Borne politicians , but it will not prey profitable. The best that can bo hopoe is that the lesson of tno late election wil load to the retirement of the bourbon ole rnent and bring to the front a moro progressive grossivo class of democrats , having an interest in the questions and issues o to-day nnd a sympathy with whatovoi contributes to advancement along all thi lines of progress. In tlmo , after nil tin influence of bourbonism is driven out Kentucky may become republican , anc it would not bo wlso to forego any offer to bring her to that political condition , but the work is sure to bo slow in pro ducing the desired result , and meantime there are several other southern state that may precede Konttioky in givitij their support to republican principles am THE formal election of a leader of th Mormon church will take place nox spring. In the meantime anotho prophet , Milford Woodruff , has assumoi the role. Ho is not likely to hold the posi tion of president long , however. lie i an old man , over eighty , and represent the conservative element of the church The younger generation is not untouched by the influence of the times , and cense qucntly there is not that harmony in tin organization which formerly characterized izod it and was an element oi strength There arc now two prominent candidate for the presidency of the Mormon ohurol George Q. Cannon and Joseph F Smith. Each has a strong personal f ol lowing , and the contest is likely to bo i lively ono. THE sixth annual session of the American ican Forrcstry congress will bo hold thi year at Sprinerliold , 111. , beginning' tembci 14. The efforts of this congress have not accomplished all that they havi aimed to do , but a'1 great deal has bcei done through their influence to awake i public interest in tho''question of foros preservation nnd to induce the planting of trees in localities where they have proved to bo of .inestimable benefit Among the states that have profited bj tree planting Nebraska cun bear unqual ificd testimony to _ the wisdom of the practice. The subject to which congres addresses Itself is one of great import ance , and becomes more so every year. THERE is a commendable dispositior to boom the Philadelphia celebration o the one-hundredth anniversary of tin adoption of the federal constitution which will occur in September. Thi latest advices state that the arrange mcnts are progressing most satisfactor ily , with every promise that the cclobra tion in all its features will bo of unsur passed interest and grandeur. The occa sion is certainly worthy of such a com mcmoration , but as it cannot bq honored by the whole country at Philadelphia some form of celebration should bo ob served everywhere. It will be an oppor tunity for imparting general mforma tion regarding the constitution tha might bo very useful to this generation THE board ot education is only wast ing time and breath in calling upon tin council to annul the contract by whicl the school board procured a porpelua lease of a portion of the city * hall build ing. The money paid in by the sohoo board has been expended upon the foun dation and basement of the city hall , I is thcro now for good and cannot bi taken out. The charter prohibits tin council from diverting any money fron any fund set apart for n special purpose The money in the city hall fund canno bo used for a library building or an ; other structure. The project is the wild cst of wild-cat schemes. IT seems to us that it would bo of som advantage to the editor of the Herald i ho would occasionally ascertain thi views of the proprietor of that paper 01 matters of public concern. Tbo cdito of that sheet is booming the Jefferaoi square library scheme. Congrcssmai McSlmno is emphatically opposed to it In common with ninety-nine out of' ; hundred of our citizens , Mr. McShan believes that Jefferson square should b reserved for park purposes. Ho also re gitrds the schema to build a library build ing as premature. Mu. COPELAND is nothing if not vis lonury.

Nebraska Versus Colorado. Denver llepuliltcan. It appears that the Nebraska people are about to bring a suit in the United States court in this city to compel a di vision of the water which Hews through the Platto. They object to it being di- virtcd and carried out over the land in this state for irrigation purposes. This move is unwarranted , for the reason thai the amount of water which is in any one season diverted docs not equal thai which finds its way beneath the surface into the river again. That which feeds the river in this way comes from the irri gation of former years. If irrigation this season were stopped , the supply of water flowing into the nvor next season from beneath the surface would be very small. The soil takes up this year like a sponge the water which next year it discharges in the form of springs. But , disregard ing this , we should likn to know what right the people of Nebraska have to the waters of the state of Colorado , By the constitution of our state all the water of the streams is the property of the public , subject to the right of appropriation by its inhabitants. Th state of Nebraska ha.s no authority within the boundaries of this stale whatever. The Platte is not a navigable stream , and it * water is not subject to the control of the Federal gov ernment. There is no mtcr-stivlo com merce business about the L'lutlo river nnd its water. The water belongs to the stale of Colorado until it Hews beyond the boundary of the stain. When it crosses the boundary the jurisdiction of Colarado over it ceases. But so long as it is confined to the limits of this state the governor of Nebraska and the people of Nebraska have no inoreaulhority over it than have the inhabitants of Timbuc- too. The Antiquity of Man. Boston llcrnld : The Christadolphians of Boston hold their usual weekly re ligious services yesterday in Chandler hull , No. 18 Essex street. The subject of the morning discourse was the question : "Has man boon on the earth more than 0,000 years ? " The subject wus illus trated with a chart showing mathemat ical calculations. This chart WUM drawn up on thoasumpliou that the existence of the human race upon the terrestrial globe has continued uninterruptedly for 50,000 years. The speaker , however , de nied that this claim was founded on any tenable ucicntific hypothesis. Beginning his calculations with two human be ing : , mid allowing for the number of persons being doubled every 500 years during the first ages , ho showed that there would exist nt the end of the first 10,000 years , 3,01)7,153 ) persons. Tim com putation at the close of 50,000 would show in oxistance such myriads of human bo- inga us would bo inconceivable to the human mind. To express the number would require a row of figures running into the nonillions. The population of the earth at the present day , ho said , is 1,400.000,000. Ho contended that the hu man race could not poteibly bo 50,000 years old. Whenever evidences of occu pancy of the uarth prior to the Adamio period had boon discovered they were the remains of a race which had tenanted this world and become ) extinct before the times recorded in the book of Genesis. That such a race had existed nnd had beun destroyed could bu maintained , the speaker said , from the scriptural writ ings of Peter and Judo and from Paul's oxplstlo to the Corinthians. Speaking of the argument against the resurrection of the body which is made by those persons who assort that space could not be found on the surface of the globe to assemble the resurrected bodies , at the day of judgment , the speaker fig ured out that all the bodies of nil thu hu man beings who have peopled thn narth feineo the time of Ad-.iui could be col lected in a spacu not larger than the itntt ! of New York , nnd he cud not think so largo H territory would be requited.

Complaints have been pouring into Gas Inspector Gilbert from the citizens of the Sherman avenue district that the gasoline lamps of that particular locality were not lighted Saturday or Sunday evenings.
