TIIK dunlnl Is made of the chnrgo that Mayor liroatoh was pledged the silent support of the Ifcrnld if ho would allow the ganlblers to kcup open house during the present week. Wo' reiterate the charge and will in duo time produce the proof if necessary . As a counter-irritant the council meet ing Saturday night was a dismal failure. JJut it served one peed purpose. It showed that the council feels Itself to bo in the wrong , that the alderman ic consci ence has made cowards of them all nearly , and that they took this means to nttompt to palliate the just wrath of our cill/.cns. GENERAL DUTLKK , the champion candi date of this ago , Is out with another bid. Ho proposns to distribute the surplus in the treasury equitably among the union Boldiera who served In the late war. If any money remains ho is in favor of Riving It to the surviving rebel soldiers. If this cross-eyed programme were car ried out there would not bo much of a nurplus problem loft to study over. OMAHA is in condition to afl'ord varied Brauscmcnt to all classes that come hereto to take a holiday. With two opera houses , two theaters , "Pinafore" on the Jake , the Seventh Itcglmont band with the New York firemen in concert , half n dozen shows supplemented by grand Street parades , horse races , base ball matches and military and naval displays , there is variety enough- for every amuse ment seeker. SOUK of the express companies now claim that they are not included in the operation of the interstate commerce law. Their argument is , the supreme jcourt has decided in certain cases that they cannot bo classed with railroad ( companies , as common carriers , because they do not own their moans of trans portation. If their point Is valid , it may become necessary for congress to amend the law. EASTEUN Oregon this summer claims the largest wheat yield over known in the state. This is very good , but unfor tunately a big wheat crop does not necessarily moan prosperity for the far Pacific farmer. Transportation tolls leave n very small margin of profit to the producer , and It seems to innko little difference to them in the endwhether a big or a small crop la raised. TUP. prcdiotlons that Charleston would never recover from the earthquake shocks have proven false. The Ntws and Courier has compiled n review ot the re pairs during the put year whichshows that the city has .expended at least $ , ' { ,000,000 in the work of rebuilding the ruins of 0,000 buildings , and that in ad < ditiou 271 new structures have been erected. This Is an excellent showing oven for a city which lias not sutlered such a calamity as overtook Charleston SKVKUAL Gnorgia politicians who wore in Washington recently proposed that n now state bo formed out ot North Georgia , a portion of Tennessee and f slice of North Carolina. This makes the third scheme for a new southern state. The air is lull of clamor for more states , both north and south , and how tc grant this desire and preserve the pollt leal equilibrium is the problem ovci \vhlch the politicians are breaking thoii heads. AT the board of trade mooting Satur ( lav night Mayor Itroatch gave in a von few words , a strong argument in supper of the action of the police commission. Hi naked the pertinent question : "If tin council honohtly bollnvo they are in th < right in ignoring the police appointees o the tire and police commission , why is i thnt tire council endorse mid vote pay ti the commissioner's appointees in the iln department ? " The mayor could no bavo uttered a clearer dilinition of hi position on the police controversy. Tin course of the council in this matter ha boon full of Inconsistency and bad faith Tlioy endorsed the appointees in the fir department because they know that th people would not for a single day sutl'e the council to withhold the protoctioi against lire which they are taxed to main tain. The wonder is that the people hav BO tamely submitted to the council's in torfereucu with the polioo. , < L . . . . ; . . . . . The Dottiest Onrie Yet. The order of the president requiring federal officeholders to abstain from ac tive participation in politics has been many limes violated. At least a score of instances could be cited as having occurred - red within the past year where office holders were among the mostconspictous and zealous workers at primaries and conventions , In every case violating the executive mandate. But the boldest dis regard thus far of that order occurred at the Pennsylvania democratic convention last week. This body was besieged and invaded by a host of oOicoholdors who worked like beavers among the delegates for the object that carried them them , said to bo tiic promotion of Uan- dtill'a cause In the convention. If such was their errand the result showed how well and thoroughly they performed It. The case has been widely commented upon ns altogether the most outrageous of its kind since the administration de clared itself In opposition to this sort of thing , and the president is told by coun sellers for whom ho is supposed to have respect that if ho docs not take notice ot the matter ho must expect to sufl'or in public confidence- . Says the Philadelphia Ilccord : "Tho outrageous interference ot federal officials with the business of tbo assembled delegates , if allowed to pass unrobuked and uncor- rcctcd , would do much to convict Presi dent Cleveland of a failure to keep faith with some of his most earnest support ers and of a violation of his direct pledges to the people. " The Now York Evening Post talks thus : "This is n state of things which the president cannot bring to an end too soon , we will not say for the sake of his own fame , but for the sake of his own political prospects. The time for those things was in the lirnt year of the presidential terra , and not in ho last. The popular memory is pro- 1orblally short , but it does not gro\v weaker as the meeting of the nominal- ng conventions approaches ; it grows .trongcrl" . And even the New York Times , always apologetic whore the pros- lent is concerned , is compelled to admit hat the president lias departed from the trict letter of his pledges and profes. Ions with respect to the reform of the edoral service , to an extent that de mands "sound and rational criticism , " and says : "There is no other way in ivhich the strength of Mr. Cleveland with ho people can bo so rapidly and so urely extended as by now assurances hat he will not put up with such con- .omptuous disobedience of his own exec utive orders , as was shown by the Kan- tlall legion of federal olltco holders at Allcntown. " Will Mr. Cleveland give heed to the o Admonitions ? Very likely not. At all } vents there will bo no example made f any of those guilty of the "contemptu- us disobedience , " and without this of , viiat service will "new assurances" be ? The evidence of the president's sincerity would bo in depriving some of the more r.calous of these democratic oQiceholdcrs ofjthoir positions , and in the absence of his assurances will bo worthless. The country lias had enough of these , given , as results show , only to bo disregarded , n Connecticut , Maryland , Michigan , Ohio and Indiana there were acts of contemptuous disobedience" before that of Pennsylvania , yet no guilty demo cratic officeholder in any of those states has been called to answer for his fault. Whatraoro natural than that such dcrelic- Ion on the part of the president should develop sucb bold disobedience as that at Alloutown ? Those Pennsylvania ollico- holders had every reason to believe that hero was no sincerity in professions which Higgins and Rasin were allowed with impunity to flagrantly disregard under the very nose of the president. The simple tact is that Mr. Cleveland is tired of all this reform mummery which 10 has found to be distasteful to the great majority of bis party , and only ploasine to a very small element identilicd with no party which steadily grows more ox- anting. Ho wants to bo continued in the executive office , and ho knows ho must lopend upon democrats for the gratifica tion of that desiro. Those are the people , therefore , that ho will now try to please , whether others lire pleased or displeased , Working on Turin' Kills. The next congress will undoubtedly be well supplied with tar ill' bills. A num ber of the old members may safely bu expected to present in this form tlieii views of how the tariff should bo revised , and it is not unlikely that some of the now representatives will see in the supreme importance that will bo given to this subject the opportunity to show theii constituents that no mistake was made in their selection. Congressman Mills , of Texas , has already announced that lit is engaged upon a bill , so that if lit should happen to bo appointed clmiruiar of the ways and means committee ho will bo prepared to immediately diately offer something for its considera tion. Mr. Mills was second on the com mittce in the last- congress , ami his ele vation to the chairmanship in the oven of the ro-olcctiou of Mr. Carlisle a : speaker cannot bo regarded as improba- oto. Ho vouchsafed only the merest sug gestion of the character of his incasute saying merely sufficient to show thn consideration would bo given to the con sinners of woolen , worsted and cottoi goods and of iron ami steel in the form o tools and implements and housohoh utensils. The woll-known position o Mr. Mills , however , ' regarding the tarilT warrants the expectation that i measure ho would frame wouh reduce the duties on prott ; nearly all articles in the tariff list It is the danger of insistence upon suel a swooping measure that menaces thi cause of tariff reform at present. lint morn important than what Mr Mills is doing is the statement that tli president , the secretary of the trcasur ; and Speaker Carlisle have had the ! heads together for the purpose of foriuu lating a tariff bill. There U nothiuj more substantial upon which to rest thi report than the fact of Mr. Carlisle hav Ing gone ti > see the president at Oi ; View , and ho might have been callc < there for some other purpose than thn of talking tariff' . Yet as the most 1111 portant question with which the nox congress will have todeal , it is natunU an .reasonable to associate it with the visit The statement that the administratlu is fully committed to a strong uttitud on the tariff is credible , but it la probu bly pure assumption to say that th plan proposed is to conform to the term of the Pennsylvania democratic plai form , which the revenue tariff deiuocrul of that state have denounced as cvusiv lit. ' V'tf and dishonest. Moreover the tariff plank of the Pennsylvania platform Is not at nil In line with tho'Ohlo democratic platform , and it Is not to bo supposed that the administration would at this tltno virtually proclaim its condemnation of llio latter , drawn to rolloot the under stood views of the administration , by proposing a policy based on the former. It will bo satisfactory to the coun try , however , to bo fully assured that the administration really intends to take something tnoro than n perfunctory in terest in this matter , and instead of retying , as hitherto , solely upon its own judgment of the very large question , will call to its counsel some of the party leaders in congress who may fairly bo supposed to have opinions worth hear ing , and who at least have a power that must be respected. Mr. Mills I s quoted as saying that the president will no doubt interview Mr. Uandall. There is no good reason why he should not do so , That gentleman is still in the demo * ratio party , and from what ho was able o do In the Pennsylvania convention ho loems very likely to remain there , and to make his presence felt. Mr , Clovo- and can hardly afford to Ignore him when considering a plan of tariff rc- ision if ho Is seriously concerned regard- ng the fate of the plan. It is three nonths to the meeting of congress , and hat ought to bo ample tlmo in which tenable nable the administration to obtain all icccssary views and suggestions and ramo a tariff' bill upon which there would bo so mo chance of uniting its tarty in congress. The country will .wait further developments with very onsidcrablo interest. Siihlfino Gnll. Mr. Max Meyer Is president of the board of ratio. On the petition of a few citizens , hct ailed a meeting under the boaid's auspices o back up a partisan pcliumu of the ilii : : . The call was not for a bimrd of trade meet- UK ; Indeed , a minority of that body at- ended , but Mr. Max Moynr elected himself ilialrtnan of the meeting. Just what Hah lie had to do that a good many members of ho boird ot trade are at a loss to know. UanM. There are a great many things Mr. Me- Shane's editor does not know , and one of .ho number is common decency and courtesy. He ought to have known enough to know that Mr. Max Mayor had no discretion in calling the board of rado meeting. The by-laws of that body make it the duty of its president to call a pccial meeting of the board upon thn request of ten members. Sixteen signa- ures of leading members of the board wore appended to the request that ho president of the board call a meeting Saturday to take action on the police roubles. Mr. Meyer tliorcjforc , simply lid his duty iindor the by-laws. This was by no means the first meeting of the board to which tax-payers and citizens , not members , have been in vited. In view of tiio disgraceful rowdyism at the charter meeting last winter , when the contractors' gang tried o pack the exposition building , it was not deemed prudent to chance a repeti- ion of the disturbances by allowing tramps and hoodlums to take possession of the chamber of commerce. Over one uindrcd wixgc-workor-j who are thrifty jnough to own homes in Omaha were uvited , and most of them wore present. In this as in every other meeting of the board of trade , the chair was occupied by the president of the board. Mr. Meyer did not have to elect himself because the board makes it his duty to preside over every meeting when ho is prosont. Had he been absent , one of the vice-presidents of the board would have occupied the chair. Outsiders were merely guests , and while they were extended the cour tesies of debate , and allowed to vote on motions and resolutions , they could not take charge of the meeting. It is a piece of insolence for McShanc's hired man , who was courteously permitted to take part in the debate , although ho is not known to bo. a taxpayer , to heap insult upon the board and its president. In this connection let us state that the board of trade is made up of 225 bankers , manufacturers , merchants and profes sional men. Every mombur was person ally invited to bo pre ent , r.nd a larger number was present than csvur attended any other meeting of the board. It is an insult to these men to stigmatize them as partisans and tools of any body. The fact that more than nine-tenths of them disapprove the methods of the council in inciting anarchy in Omaha docs not imply that they are not capable of forming intelligent opinions and assert ing them at it public meeting. They rcllect the sentiment of the whole coTnmunitj' , and any man or paper that ignores this sentiment does so in defiance of popular approval. 1'eoplo Would Like to Know.

Whether Mike Lpo was in condition Saturday night to remember what ho said at the Hoodlum meeting about the man who kept his name out of the HKE twice when Mike was conveyed in the patrol wagon ? How many decent citizens , who voted for Hnscall last spring , are kicking them selves now ? The Grand Opera HOUHO. The new opera house at the exposition building opens under most favorable auspices. Tbo conception of reconstruct ing the exposition hall into an opera house has materialized much sooner than anybody could have expected. The work ot the builders and artists has necessa rily been expedited in order to give the amusement-seekers who throng the city during the great reunion and fair an opportunity to wit ness dramatic and operatic performances in a building at once accessible and safe as to exit. In accomplishing this the protectors of the enterprise and mana gers ot the Grand opera house are to bo congratulated 1 , jTho magnificence and tnsto displayed and the extent of the nudltqrium and stage are on a scale that would do credit to any city Of 200,000 population. The } stage is the second largest in America. THE New YorkjPos : , which always as- stimcs to bo infallible In Its opinions of men and discuwious of measure , Is not above being tinf tr In its arguments. Henry Gcorgo ic'dcntly said , in replying to a correspondent who suggested that a fnad ot $10,000 bj $ raised to supply the poor of Novr York with coal and soup , that "In using all thd ruonoy wo can raise to urge on the crusade wo hate begun , wo shall bo using It for a far higher and more bonedcent purpose than if wo ap plied It to alras-glvlntf. " Ths state ment ia commented on by the Post as follows : What this purpose is we prosurao Is Indi cated by another remark , that the " ( treat means by which the emancipation of labor is to be attained Is not the carrying of elections , but the stimulation of thought. " In other words , the way to abolish poverty and eman cipate labor is to put money In the antipoverty - poverty contribution box and subscribe to llenry George's paper , and then , If there Is anything left , buy copies of Henry GeorRo's books. Now whatever opinion one may have of Gcorgo's methods as a politician or of his economic doctrines in general , ho is undoubtedly correct in hip statement that the stimulation of thought in the workingman - ingman is the principal moans to ameli orate his condition. The Post's flippant remarks make a poor showing sldo by side with Alt. George's truth. THIS reiteration of the sentiment that "we are the masters of the situation , " by the council bosses , is only a variation of the well-known boodle cry invented by loss ? Tweed , the patron saint of boodlcrs , Ho ovclainicd verydcfiantiy , "what are you going to do about it ? " and the people ple showed him. The time seems to have nearly come when the people of Omaha will also have to show their servants , the councilmen , wlmt they will do about it. No notice has been taken as yet by cer tain city officials of the resolution passed some time since by the council , instructing them to make a report to that body of the number of deputies and clerks employed in thn city offices , and the salaries and duties of each employe. What xvas the resolution passed at all for ? Have the councilmen quietly advised that it bu Ignored ? IT will bo the "state of Omaha" for one week. The pcopru of tiio whole state are pouring into the metropolis to swell the chorous of patriotism and join in the harvest song of industry. PUOM1XBNT 1M2USONS.

It is mere child's play for the republi can papers to accuse the advocates of tariff revision of trying to wreck the country.

It was no sooner heard that a sceue of the wildest excitement and panic ensued. The block Is filled with tenement houses on both sides of the strciit. The tire was In the I\ve1story \ double-decker , 522 , which , with four others adjoining It , are owned by Messrs. Potter llros. The buildings arc of brick , and about seventy-five foot In depth. Four families live on each floor. In the basement arc wood- houses and coal bins. The tire apparently started in one of the woodhouses , shot up through the air draft , burned Its way toward the stairway and spread In the upper stories. Luckily , several apartments In the house had not been occupied recently , and there were only etovon families living there. They were panic-stricken. They h d to Ilnd their way through the smoke , men carrying chil dren and women with their arms lull of clothing , household effects , etc. A panic equally as Kre t occurred in houses 618 and 6'JO , w.nen thoie Teallj was no danger. To edit to the horror , the gas was turned otf , and In the excitoiQcnt no light could bo had. People , frantic In their efforts to escape , fell over each other and tramplra Upon one auottior , and In the dark there was a Strug gling , surging mass of humanity. The scene that was enacted becrgars de scription. The police olllcers had gone to the top floor , leaving Officer Haggerty on the third , where he was assisting a little girl to cot out. Ho helped her down stairs , and just then the flames began to show themselves tin the third lloor and cut ott his escape. His rlicht hand was severely burned. He rushed to the top of tbo story and got out on the root with Ofllcer Drophy , They climbed down to the adjoining roof nod came down through that building. The escape of the people In the building was most fortunate. Those on the first lloor got out without any trouble , and those on the upper tloois left by way of the fire escapes. Some of thorn went up to the roof and escaped to an adjoining building , and a few managed to get down stairs through the smoke and advancing ( lames. The excitement was Intense. Women shrieked and children cried. Fire men aided gallantly In the escape of the In mates. FliiMimn McXamaraandsomoothers were In the third story when a huco tank crashed through the root. They had a nar row escape from being killed. It tell within a lew feet of them , and two of the men were struck bv falling timbers and bricks. Fire man William .Nobles was at woik In the ya.-d whnn a huge pile of bricks fell down from the roof , almost burying him. ilo was badly bruised about the body. The lire burned through the two upper stoties , badly gutting them. It was nearly 'J o'clock before the tire was got under conttol. It was rumored that several people had been burned , but after the flames were extinguished the firemen made a careful search of the burned building and no bodies were discovered. The occupants or the burned building lost everything they possessed , and only one of thorn was insured. The loss to the building Is about SI0,000 and that to the occupants will be about § 3,000.
