"Mns PAKVKNUK STEVEN ! " is the way
in which an eastern paper refers to the
Newport hostess of the much-maligned
Duke of Marlborotigh. And nil because
the lailv's princely fortune omnnated
from sour mush barrels and watered
Whisky. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE people of Now York and other
places whern it has been tried , arc getting
tired of the Saturday half-holiday sham.
There ia no uccd of It. Ono daj in seven
ffor real has boon found surtioiont over
since the dawn of history and will jao
doubt continue to bo sufficient until the
end of time.
OH the authority of the Now York
Times Houry Villard has become the
owner of the Now York Evening Post.
Mr. Villard is an old newspaper man and
omethlng of n , railroad Napoleon of
finance , but if ho thinks hu can success
fully edit a newspaper and run a railroad
at the same time , ho is mistaken. It is
an open secret , however , that the 1'oat ,
ever since Carl Sohurz became its editor ,
liad n very warm attachmant for the
Northern Pacific.
GENEIIAL UUTLKU has suddenly become
Tory tender. In regard to the report
that he was to bo employed in the cases
of the Chicago anarchists lie says that ho
has not definitely decided to take any
active step in their behalf , "but the pub
lic may rust assured that I will never
allow a man's life to bo sacrificed if I
can see any ground on which he can pos
sibly bo saYcd. " It was not always thus ,
as the spirit of the late gentleman who
hauled down the American llae at New
Orleans would testify It recalled to earth.
1 THE republican central committee of
'Antelope and Knox counties recently
field a star chamber session and selected
delegates to the state and judicial con
vention * without consulting the wishes of
the rank and file. The Plainview ( -
ttlte says : "The only plausible reason
wo can give for their action is that they
belong to the strnlsrht-riiiK-spceklud-anti-
Van Wyck faction. In another year
they will probably select the delegates to
the diflorcnt conventions and nominate
their senators and representatives with
out calling any convention. "
THE usual insipid dullness character
ized the spcecli of the queen at the pro
rogation of parliament. It is of course
understood that all of her majesty's ad
dresses are prepared by the prime min
ister , and that crediting her with them
U a simple formality. Victoria could
hardly be duller or loss interesting , how
Tor , if she prepared her own speeches.
The prorogation is until November 30 ,
and during Us continuance it is expected
that the policy of the government re
garding Ireland will bo pushed to the
last extremity , lioyoud the Irish legisla
tion the session of parliament just closed
did little of importance.
THE entertainment givnn President
Cleveland by the Clover club of Phila
delphia must have recalled to him the
days , not very long ago , when ho was
_ deemed a "jolly good fellow" in Duflnlo ,
and enjoyed convivial companionship as
well as the next man. There is every
reason to believe that the president's
pouch on this occasion was felicitous , bo'
causa ho lias abundant experience to
draw upon for such a deliverance and
undoubtedly felt qulto at homo in such ti
company ot cheerful opirits. It ia easy
to believe that Mr. Cleveland regards hl. <
vUlt to the Clover club aa the most agree-
ble experience b'e had ic Philadelphia ,
{ evolutionary.
For the first time in the history of tilts
city and county a bold and brazen at
tempt is made to override the will of the
rank and file of the republican party as
expressed through the usual channel , the
primary election and delegate conven
tion. Under the leadership of Its chair
man , W. F. Uechcl , the republican
central committee 1ms arrogated to it
self the appointment of delegates to the
state convention. This revolutionary
nctlon will bo resented by reputable
republicans of all factions. It ia an
assumption of power which no commit
tee hut the right to exercise , and on its
face bears the stamp of conspiracy. The
republicans of Douglas county never will
consent that they shall be misrepresented
in the state convention by row
dies , bummers and political shy
sters , who dare not submit their
names nt a primary election. The com
mittee which Mr. licchcl selected to make
up the slate are for the most part of that
disreputable class. Hut even if they
were the most respectable of republicans
the right of the committee to appoint
delegates to the Plate convention must bo
repudiated and contested at all hazard.
And wo venture to admonish republican
candidates who hope to bucketed this fall
that unless this revolutionary action of
the committee L promptly revoked , their
chances of success will be seriously jeep
ardized.
Tbo Overcrowded School * .
It seems that those whoso duty it is to
make provision for the annual attend
ance in the public schools have this year
fallen a good deal short in their estimate
of the accommodations that would be re
quired. Provision was made for a mod
erate increase , but the actual increase is
largely In excess of svhat was expected ,
and additional applicants lor entrance to
the schools present themselves dally. The
result is that the board and the superin
tendent find themselves in a perplexing
position , and while they are planning
to got out of it hundreds of
children are losing their school
ing. The ultimate solution of
the difficulty for the present must bo
found in renting buildings , where they
can bo found in eligible locations , to ac
commodate the overflow from the city's
school houses.
The experience is instructive and ad
monitory. It suggests that Omaha's
population is growing much faster than
is generally supposed. An increase of
two thousand children ia the public
schools is a sigtiiticant fact which very
Dointcdly illustrates the city's progress.
The admonition the experiences conveys
to the school authorities is that they
should keep intelligently informed re
garding the city's advance in population ,
and not bn satisfied with estimates based
upon past experience , which must neces
sarily be unsafe. There is no subject
connected with municipal administration
; hat calls for closer and more careful and
intelligent attention than that of provid
ing for public education. Present errors
may be pardonable , but similar mistakes
in future will not bo. Omaha must meet
every demand upon its public school
system.
The Catholic National UniTOi-Bitjr.
The prelates who recently met in Bait !
more decided to locate the Catholic Na
tional University at Washington. There
was a strong movement to iix the site in
some western city , but the majority ruled
adversely. This was a mistake which
will become more apparent hereafter
The growth of thu republic is westward ,
and as the university will bo of more
benefit to future generations than to the
present it should have been located
where it would have boon within equal
roach of all. Omaha is very nearly ir
the geographical center of.thu union , ant
this city would no doubt hav <
been tbo best location for th (
university that could have been selected
There are , besides , more Catholics in the
west than in the east , and had a western
eite been selected the money required foi
the institution could have been raised
much more easily than can now bo done
The amount required will bo about $3 ,
000,000. Of this sum $700,000 has already
been secured , including the $300,000 givoi
by Miss Caldwell. This ludy is said u
have been somewhat offended because
Bishop Spalding , of Illinois , was noi
ruudo rector of the now university , am
to have threatened to withdraw her gift
But she could not take it batik if sin
would now. Her endowment is in tin
form ot a trust deed held by the trustees
Besides , no slight was put upon Bisho [
Spalding. lie has been the prime movet
in 'this matter , is very papula :
among the Catholics , and couli
have been the first rector had ho so de
sired. He refused the honor. The rector
ship was conferred upon Hev. Dr.Koano
bishop of Richmond.
Of the $300,000 given by Miss Caldwel
$30,000 will be used for a site , $170,000 if
to be expended on the main building am
the Interest on the remaining | 100XX
will bo used to maintain one or two pro
fessors. The plans for the main buildiuj
have boon selected and work will b
begun next spring.
A letter from Pone Leo XIII approving
the founding of the university was roai
at the meeting of the bishops. In this hi
says that the university must remaii
under the authority and prc
tcction of American bishops. They arc
to regulate the course of study , makt
rules of discipline and select the prof cs
sors. With the largo endowment of thl
institution , the generous support it wil
receive from the Catholics of this coun
try , and the great efforts that will bo pul
forth in its behalf by the church , thor
can bo no doubt it will become one of th
foremost seats ot learning ia the world
Royal Interest In American * .
The anxiety recently manifested by th
Prince of Wales to associate with di.stln
guished Americans , and to acquit
authentic information regarding thl
country and its affairs , is commuudablc
It Is not certain that the prince will eve
be the sovereign of the British nation
though of course tbo probabilities are ii
his favor. But hu is no longer a younj
man , and from now on the dissipation
of youth and his earlier manhood may b
expected to tell upon him withincreasln ,
force. His expectation of life cannot b
regarded as very much greater than tha
of the queen , who is still in robust an
vigorous health , and whoso pa :
life has boon such as to exa <
%
no penalties of the present. , Howovoi
having in view the probability of his b <
coming a king , it is well that 'ho shoul
improve every opportunity to learn al
ho can respecting America , whoso e :
paading influence in , the 'world must b
apparent to him , carrying with it the as
surance that this country must in time
become the most powerful force among
the nations in moulding the political ,
moral and social conditions of mankind.
A possible king cannot atVord to bo only
partially acquainted with this country ,
and being a man of fair intelligence the
Prince of Wales must know that accurate
information cannot bo obtained from
English sources.
The prince has been peculiarly fa
vored in his investigations by
ho presence In Europe this year
f distinguished Americans. Ho np-
uears from all accounts to have esteemed
t an especial great privilege to meet Mr.
Ulaino , which hu has been enabled to do
t least twice , notwithstanding that gen-
.leman's manifestation of complete In-
itiflurence to the roval attention pressed
upon him. It is quite the unusual thing
or royalty to seek association with the
representative of a republic , but it is un
derstood that this is what was done by
he heir to thu British throne with respect
o Mr. Hlalnc , and it is understood also
hat the latter responded in his own time
and way , iufercntially to impress upon
he prince the equality of man agreeably
o the American idea. Whether or no
such a lesson in the fundamental prin
ciple of republicanism was in-
ended , there is reason to believe
that the cfl'ect upon royalty was salutary ,
for the prince has since been freely hob
nobbing with distinguished Americans ,
who have found him a most affable ,
agreeable and jolly sort of n follow.
Among those favored with the royal con
sideration is Mr. Chauncey M. Depew ,
who scums to have been recommended
o attention by Mr. liluinu as a "typical
American , " n distinction which the
statesman disclaimed and the railroad
president did not fully accept. How
ever , the latter regaled the prince in his
niaiilablc way , and the dispatches re
port that their dinner , which was entirely
to themselves , wiis very greatly enjoyed
by his royal highness.
With such sources of information
the prince ought to have ob
tained a pretty good idea
of America , and it was certainly his own
fault if he didn't. His to bo regretted ,
however , that he did not meet otio other
American whom he would have found
not less typical and instructive than those
ho did meet Mr. Mtirat Halstcad. As
the representative of the greatest power
in American affairs , it was a mistake to
overlook the editor. It is not doubted
that the prince has been largely the
gainer by his association with representa
tive citizens of this republic , the good
effects of which ui ay perhaps become ap
parent some time iu the future.
There U Safety In Canada.
The opinion of the secretary of state
on the request for the extradition oi
McUangle , Hie Chicago fugitive in Can
ada , removes all doubt as to the safety oi
that individual iu the Dominion from
any authority in this country. The
ground that his escape was concocted by
foreigners and carriud out by them by
moans of a foreign vessel the secretary
shows to bo insullicient. The chief ol
the alleged agents in effecting the escauo ,
although n British subject , had been for
a long time within the exclusive jurisdic
tion of the United States , answerable
generally to Its laws , and the British gov
ernment was in nowise responsible for
his alleged criminal conduct. Nor doca
the fact that the vessel on which Mc-
Uariglc escaped was of British ownership
afford a ground for demanding his sur
render. The point is made that a ma
jority of the fugitive criminals from
this country have escaped on foreign-
owned vessels , but this has never been
made a ground for asking extradition ,
and the secretary goes so far us to say
that were a criminal to make his escape
on a foreign man-of-war it could not bo
regarded as a valid ground for claiming n
surrender. This government has itself EC )
the precedent in support of this view.
Regarding the suggestion that a re
quest might bo made for surrender on the
ground of comity , the secretary says It
would bo contrary to the practice of
the government and is not to be
entertained because this government
could not reciprocate. A few such re
quests wore made before extradition
treaties wore entered into , but as long
ago as 1815 it became the declarml policy
of the government not to ask another
government as an act of comity to de
liver up a fugitive from justice , and it
has repeatedly refused during the last
thirty years to make such a request. A
voluntary offer of surrender , as in the
case of Tweed , would of course bo ac
cepted , but with the distinct understand
ing that it should involve no claim upon
the United States beyond the require
ments of the treaty extradition.
This opinion convoys official assur
ance to all criminals whoso crimes arc
not in the limited list of extraditable
offenses tljat they are perfectly secure in
Canada , under whatever circumstances
they may got there , against the author
itics of the United States. It also vcrj
strongly emphasizes the necessity for i
revision and enlargement ot our extradi
tion arrangement with Great Britain se
far at least as it relates to Canada. The
failure of the senate to act in this maltoi
has resulted , as it was expected to do , it
a considerable increase of the nnoxtr.i
ditablo crimes and a large growth of tin
American colony in the Dominion. It i1
not to bn supposed that the interests o :
justice in this particular will continue tc
be ignored , thereby inviting crime , ant
it ia to bo hoped the senate at its nox
session will not neglect this very 1m
port ant subject.
Spelling Keformors.
This paper has received a copy of the
official organ of the Spelling Reform as <
sooiation. Its object is to reform the
present rules governing correct spelling
That there is greater ncod of reform in
incorrect spelling goes without saying
The only question is , how the reform can
bo brought about and made effective. I
is a hard matter to root out ignorance
anco ot "English as she is spoke,1
and more difficult to do away will
Inexcusable carelessness on thn par
of people who profess to bo educated
Wo know at least one teacher in th <
Omaha high school who misspells com
monplace words habitually.Some of tin
most eminent ministers of the gospel whi
bold college diplomas seldom write ai
ordinary letter without making blunder
in spelling , and many prominent doctor
and lawyers are constantly guilty of pen
nlng good English In bad orthography
To reform these professionals would bo :
task , but when the school master himscl
neglects thu rules of correct spelling , th
proposed reform would bailie the rues
ardent disci plu of writing by sound-
i'ehsonnl ami t'olltlcnl.
For the past ten'ToafrsIt lias boon the
habit of disreputable ) factional leaders
and solf-constitutu I pirty oracloi nt the
outlet of every caiup jgn to make furi
ous personal attacks upon mo whllo tryIng -
Ing to cover their own'schemes to control
conventions. Thcio periodical outbursts
of factional malignity are nearly always
coupled with the tigma that I nil ) not
only a traitor to republicanism but have
also bctruycd political friends and
associates whon'cVcr they have
failed to respond to my vena 1
demands or refused to obey my political
mandate. 4
Just now wo ure'on the eve of another
campaign , anil the infamous personal
warfare which has been waged so often
against me , is again renewed. This time
ho assailants are n brace of adventurers
who came here scarcely a year ago with
thu stain of corruption in oQlco attached
to tlioir garments. Inspired by certain
malodorous candidates , thuy take up the
old cry of the rnllroad faction which usud
the machinery of the party in this state
to keep the corporate fetters rlvctod se
curely around the necks of the masses.
Because 1 have scon lit to warn ropub-
iciius of Douglas county against nomi
nating disreputable or notoriously unfit
men for county ollicci I am branded as a
traitor to the republican party , and a
political Jonah. Thu republicans of this
county are told that "no greater favor
could bo done the party than for that
puffed up little ; viper to oppose it. His
inlluenco is of a negative quality. It. de
stroys whatever it attempts to help. * *
Mr. Rosewater can't 'bolt' the republi
can party. Ho is not a republican , and
is not to recognized. Neither is ho a
democrat. Ho is a hermaphrodite , a
what-is-it , a political upas tree. He may
oppose republican candidates , but ho
cannot hurt them. Hu is a viper whoso
fangs have been drawn and whoso hiss is
no longer terrifying. "
This is by no means the first tinio that
such vile abuse and insolent talk has ap
peared in the Jlcjtulfliettn with regard to
myself. The proprietors of that paper ,
past as well as present , have always
assumed that they were the sole keepers
of the republican conscience. For years
they have subsisted on railroad job work
and eked out a miserable ! existence ! by
contributions from candidates and office
holders for lack of'logltimato patronage.
The rank and file of republicans have
as little ceuih'dencb in the sincerity of its
utterances as the public in general have
in the integrity of its owners. Right here
nl its own home , which should bo its
stronghold , two-thirds of thu republicans
persistently decline ) toread the sheet.
I should not stoop to notice the con
temptible personalities of the venal
rowdies who have ) revamped the musty
slanders of the old' ; railroad gang "and
their henchmenwori ; ) it not for the
fact that moroi than half of the
population of Omaha and Nebraska
are comparative new comers , who know
nothing about tho"ordcal through which
the republican partyn , } this state has
passed during thcjstrtigglo with the confederated -
federated forces marshalled by the rail
roads in combination with public thiuvet
and plunderers. '
In this struggle.Ir. have berne the
brunt of battle and uphold the flag ol
true republicanism' which was trailed
iu the diibt by the camp-followers
and spoilsmen who are repubh <
can ? for revenue only and simply use
the cloak of republicanism as a
cover for their infamous conspiracies
to degrade thu republican party to t
more surf of grasping monopolies.
' Does this constitute treason to the ropub'
lican party ? When a mere boy , in 1850 ,
I marched with the pioneers of the west
crn reserve under the banner of "Free
Speech , Frco Soil , Freeman and Free-
mont. " In 1858 , while stationed at
Oborlin , Ohio , 1 carried letters from tlioir
lamllies ; to John M. Langston , Profes
sors Fuirchild and Peck to the Cleveland
jail , where they were then incarcerated
for assisting a fugitive slave in regaining
his freedom. In 1859 , while at Murfrces-
bore , Tenn. , I was violently assaulted by
a southern fire-eater for expressing free-
soil sentiments , and the court justiiled
the assault by dismissing the complaint ,
I was a union man in north Alabnmc
during the exciting period of the cam
paign that gave the republican party iu
first president , and with other union men
went through the tiory orelcul of facing
secession iu its citiulel. It took nerve
and moral courage to stand by the ling
in that section in those stormy days. But
1 am taunted now about my republicanism
When Tennessee seceded I cast mj
maiden vote against secession. When
the union troops nndo their entrance
into the Tennessee capital ,1 volunteerei
my services personally to Thomas A
Scott , assistant secretary of war , and bj
his direction put up the first tolegrapl
line across the Cumberland for the unlor
army before thu arrival of the military
telegraph corps , for which service I neyei
asked nor received pay.
Within thirty days from that time I en
listen ! m the United Status military
telegraph corps and made twc
campaigns in Virginia. Independ
ent of other chances of war ,
incurred the risk of capture by the rebels
els , which .vould have boon followed bj
capital punishment , because I had been :
citizen of Alabama and Tennessee. Bu
I am disloyal now and nct u good cnougl
republican for men whofc rcpublicanisu
always has been for revenue only.
My father voted for Abraham Lincoln
my six brothers are nil republicans , and 1
have voted for ever republican presl'
dcntial candidate lrbmtjirant ( down te
Ulaino. > e
During nearly tweihy-'four yeara ' resi
dence in Omaha I ha.Vo Always boon ar
active republican. Although my b u&incs
as telegraph manager was entirely out
side of politics , 1 was ? a delegate in half t
dozen city and counrj conventions dur
ing territorial days , ohd.yvorki-d hard in
each campaign withqut nope of favor , of
fiuo or rnwftrd.
When Nebraska conferred the right o
suffrage on thu negro , I was am eng tin
handful of republicans who voluntcoree
to protect the colored voters against i
mob that surrounded the polls urn
threatened their lives. But I an
not a good enough rcpubli
can for the milk-sops who were in thu !
swadillinz clothes nt that time.
Since I became thu founder of the liii ; :
every republican victory in this city am
county was largely duo to my efforts , no
only through the paper , but by Urdus
personal exertion m the field.
When so mo ot the stalwart republican
Ieailer of to-day wcru hand In hand wltl
the enemy durlug the critical period o
reconstruction , my republicanism went
unchallenged. When the republicans had
i bare majority in the state , my party
oyalty was not called in question. 1 was
or years member of the state central
committee in those days. But when the
tarty boasted 95,000 majority , which 1
Udud to build up , rocreaut leaders do-
ituitly tramped under foot the cardinal
principles for which its founders fought.
High places of preferment wore within
roach only of corporate lackeys and
notorious rogues who made merchandise
of themselves in conventions. Such
spurious republicanism I have re
pudiated , and tons of thousands of good
republicans have stood with mo.
And now a word about the betrayal of
personal and political friends. Whom
tavo I ever sold out ? Who has over been
lesurtcd by mo in the midst of political
jattleV From Thayur down to Van
Wyck no man who has merited public
confidence has found mo wavering.
What is more , no candidate or office-
tioldor over paid mo a dime for my politi
cal help. Men have been raised front
rank pdvcrty to auluonco by my labor ,
but uono have ever boon called
on to repay the service. I have
been instrumental in the election
of thruu senators , but I defy
any man to the proof that they wure
made to contribute money or patronage
cither to myself or the BKE. On the
contrary , I have expended thousands of
dollars in fighting the battles of party
luadors and of the party , for which out
lay 1 have never been recompensed.
Those who charge me with the betrayal
of any trust or any friend , either before
or since I have become an editor , are
guilty of uttering the most biusolcss of
slanders. K. ROSKWATKU.

SUNDAY GOSSIP ,
Mn. J. F. nu.ET , a writer employed by the
BKE , was somewhat surprised the other day
while rending Uen : Perley Pooro's Kemlnls-
ccnces upon finding page after page that he
himself had written four or five ycaisago.
Mr. lllley was a contributor of special arti
cles to the Washington papers , and it ap
pears that Major Pooro must have carefully
filed these articles away for future use In his
"Hemlnlscences. " That they have been used ,
word for word and without any credit being
given to Mr. lllley , Is proven by Mr. Hlloy's
scrap book which contains the identical ar
ticles as far back as lt 3.
IT Is safe to say that the state fair man
agement cleared over $10,000 out of the exhi
bition of Jay-Eye-See. The managers of the
Omaha fair could have done the same thing ,
but they were so short-sighted as to refuse
the offer of J. I. Cabo to exhibit the famous
trotter for 91,000.
" 1 PASSED through Wahoo the other day ,
and It recalled my lirst newspaper experi
ence , " said Ariel N. Barney , the corpulent
manager of Thomas W. Keone. "I went to
Wnhoo In 1874 , when 1 was about sixteen
years old , to work in a drug store. The town
was a mere hamlet , and was without a rail
road' The drug store was next door to thn
Nebraska Itovellle , a republican weekly
newspaper published by n man named Mc-
Laughlln. I had very iittle to do In the drug
store , and so I put in most of my time in the
printing olllco and soon learned to set type.
In a few months I not only bet all the typo
on the paper , which was a patent Inside
sheet , but 1 did all the editorial and local
writing , and worked oft the entire edition
of TOO papers on the Washington hand press ,
my only assistant being a roller boy. 1 did
all this work for amusement I got no pay
forit , and McLaughllu who was lazy and
drunk most of the time permitted me to have
my own way. Occasionally ho found fault
with some of my editorial utterances , but he
couldn't afford to discharge me , ns I was the
cheapest help ho could get and ho didn't
want to do any work at all.

"One day some democratic politicians
made me bellovo It was advisable to cliangu
the politics of the paper. Accordingly , the

changed the Hovclllo from a republican to a

for Uie past political course of thn Huvellle ,
and promised that atonement should bo rondo
In the future course of the paper ns a staunch
democratic standard-bearer. This radical
change created n decided sensation , Imme
diately after the publication of tha paper Me-
Laughlln came tumbling down stairs , half-
dressed , and holding a copy In his
hand. lie was trembling with rage , aud
denounced mo most bitterly. I of course
teltvcry sorry for what 1 had done. The
fact Is that I was so young that 1 did not
know better , and was easily led astray by the
democratic politicians who took advantazc of
my youth. To make a long story short , the
flop In politics ruined the Kovellle , and
McLauEhlln soon wont 10 Montana , where
