THE frequency of the attempts recent !
made to wreck railroad trains indicate
that more stringent laws against sue
deviltry are needed. Mexico had a lai

The visit ot th president to Pklla
delphla last week was not withoat it
political developments. No such public
occasion in this country could very wel
be. The salient fact disclosed by thl
event was the cordiality that subsists be
tween Mr. Cleveland and Governor Hill
There was a report sent out that the twe
did not speak as they passed by , bu
doubtless the more trustworthy state
mcnt is that they not only spoke , but entered
torod into an extended conversation ii
the course of which there was a gooi
deal of smiling on the part of both
with other manifestations ot cordiality
It appears that Hill was the last ROT
ornor to arrive with his stafl
and found the reviewing stain
pretty well crowded , with tli
governor of Massachusetts and his sta
just ahead of him and making strcnuou
cflbrts to got a place.The position wn
a somewhat embarrassing one for th
Now York governor , and the attontio
of the president having boon attracted t
it he promptly interested himself In be
half of his former colleague and raor
recent rival. After an exchange of salu
tations between president and govornoi
the former notttlod one of the ushers c
the lattor's awkward position , word ra
along the line that Hill was out in th
cold , and In loss tlmo than it takes to to
it ( i way was opened for htm and ho wa
given an eligible position on the stand ,
At the subsequent rocoptlon given th
visiting governors by the president 1
was especially observed that Clovelani
and Hill stood apart from the others to
some time , and Hill remained after n
the other governors had departed. I
short , they seemed to particularly onjo ;
one another's society and to bo entire !
contented and happy together. The fac
must not bo lost sight of , either , thu
Mrs. Cleveland was exceedingly friendl
toward Governor Hill , a growing ire
portanco being attached to the mauifo !
tatlona of favor or displeasure on th
part of the president's wifo. Atter sue
evidence of good fooling between Mr
Cleveland r.nd the only man who hu
over boon thought of as likely to disput
with him the favor of the next na
tional democratic convention , it is entirely
tiroly superfluous to refer to inetividua
assurances that a portoct understandin {
exists between the president and th
governor , and that Mr. Hill , will not ofTe
the slightest opposition to Mr. Clovelnn
having the solid Now York delegation.
Still this clashes a little with the re
cently reported statement of one of th
chief lieutenants of Governor Hill tha
the governor had not retired from th
field as a prosldontial possibility an
does not propose to , as well as with certain
tain maneuvers ot a political nature wit
which tno governor has boon per
sonally identified within a shot
tlmo. It is explained , however
that the nomination of Colonel Fro
Grant by the republicans made a chang
of the democratic programme nece < ;
sary , a compliment to the strength of th
colonel which ought to be reassuring t
the Now York republicans. At all cvonl
there is no reason to doubt that all i
serene between Cleveland and Hill , an
for the solo reason that the latter clear !
sees the hopelessness of any further el
forts that might bo made in his bohalf.
Dispensed With Bosses.

does not need a hoss. It Is perfectly capabl

There is a good deal of hidden truth 1
what the llcpublican ts pleased to say aboi
the ability of the party to run itso
without bossism , but the novel plan <

pirates propose to steal an entire delcg :

approved , and never will be.
Prating about proxies and purity whil
caught in the very act ot political gran

sorted to. Some of the co-oporato

certain to b the loser. The boulders thi
now party found la its path wore prohi
bltlon and the tariff. The latter it simpl ;
walked clear of , on the ground that it ii
merely a squabble between the ropubll
can and democratic parties. But whoi
itontuo to the prohibition boulder i
couldn't avoid it so easily. The platforn
builders concluded that it would
not bo expedient to say nnythin ;
at all on this subject The object of thi
party being solely to restrict iratnigra
tion , it had properly nothing to do wltl
prohibition. As the chairman explained
if the one purpose for which it was pro
posed to organize could bo carried ou
that of itself would bo in the interest o
prohibition. With fewer foreigners com
Ing into the country there would bo a re
duced supply of saloon keepers , whlcl
was illustrated by the statement that o
the nearly seven thousand saloons n
Philadelphia six-sevenths arc kept b1
Germans and Irishmen , while American
are responsible tor less than three hun
dred. The argument was not satisfactory
to all the delegates , however , and tin
result was a pretty hot fight , ii
which the new party lost sotm
supporters at the very outset nnel pu
itself in a position , by refusing to recognize
nizo prohibition , to bo fairly chargcc
with bidding for the whisky vote.
A more senseless movement than thi
alleged American party was never con
ceivcd of. It is wholly without domane
or reasonable oxcuser. There is not i
point in the platform of any Importanci
that is not covered by the platforms o
ono or both of the existing parties , niu
such as are not will receive no attcntioi
from intelligent and fair-minded mon
It is obviously the effort of n few self
seeking individuals to gain notoriety
and perhaps put themselves in a posl
tion to raako profitable politics
bargains. For this purpose they hop
to secure the support in the severu
states of n sufficient mirnbo
of the nurrow-mindod and prcjudicoi
class of Americana to make a show o
strength that will glvo them a vantagi
ground between the two parties. Th
terrors of an unrestricted immigration i
to bo the war cry. It will got some fol
lowing , but one very much below thi
hopes of the projectors of the now party
Intelligent American judgment find
nothing to aoprohond from immigratioi
not already prohibited by laws that ur
ample if rigidly enforced , and it will nc
glvo its support to an organisation whic
illicit fairly DO expected not to halt i
its essentially un-American crusade , i
encouraged by success , until it hud prac
tlcally erected n Chinese wnll for the ox
elusion of foreigners. There is n
real danger in this movement , because i
lias no rational ground to stand on , bul
it is well to make timely exposure of tin
fallacy in order that none may bo caugh
by it unawares.
AND now the voracious historian of th
government printing olllco thinks ho hn
struck a diamond mine. lie has found :
man about town who knows that the prc
fossors of Oborliu college who were im
prisoned at Cleveland in 1353 for takin
part in the Wellington rescue of afugitiv
slave , wont.to jail ot their own free wi
and had tho-froedom of thetowu. . Thi
informant is about as rftiablo as Cadot' :
printing ink accounts wore at Washing
ton. The truth of history is that Jamo :
Buchanan's United States marshal hai
the Oborlin men in custody an
kept thorn in jail for weeks. On
of them , Mr. Bushncll was sentenced t
imprisonment for six months and serve
out his term. The others were fined an
released. Of course , they were accossi
bio to fnonds as were other prisoners i
jail. There was much sympathy for thoi
and largo crowds gathered at the jal
Sundays to hold divine services wit
thorn. Nobody pretends that carryin ;
letters to thorn from their families a
Oborlin was heroic , but it shows that th
person who volunteered to do tins was i
sympathy with the anti-slavery cause
and therefore ono of the pioneers of r <
publioanism.
THEIIB are no doubt a number c
policemen who arc unlit to remain o
the force. They are either mon of vor ,
fiery temper , ' who resort t
violence when there is no neo
of it , or men whoso lack of goo
judgment unfits them for the perform
nnce of police functions. But that doe
not justify the malicious and .constan
assault on our entire pollen force whicl
Mr. McShane's paper keeps u |
from day to day. It i
very consistent for that paper to hon
itself hoarse over , the Chicago Anarchist
and cry "No mercy l" to the seven me
now under sentence of death , and the
incite anarohy at homo by encouraglnf
resistance to the police and reprosontini
everybody who lands in jail for disturb
anoe and. crime as victims and martyn
Such a course may have to bo pursuoi
to advance Mr. : MoShano's politlca
schemes , but it is an outrage on the con
munity and utterly unjustifiable.

The Hon. Richard Thompson , of the
Hasting Democrat , a dashing bachelor
and author of the touching novelette
"Tho Nude Art ot Lying , " has boon enlightened -
lightened on the the subject of "The
Girl in Tights , " in uu unexpected and
entertaining way. by a laely "who has
boon there. ' She dashes to earth auel
tramps upon the conceit that "Man is the
Noblest Work of God. " A full developed
woman , she claims , towers above man
kind , and the verdict of the world is witt
her. How do the sex secure their de
velopment ? The writer gives the socrel
away in a few lines : The most rofinoa
of our sex are admirers of fully do-
volopcd womanhood. Those of us when
nature has not provided with those
charms which tend to make us attraciivo ,
use artificial means to supply the want ,
Lnckinc full development in limb , 01
bust wo iiad. Wo fully realize thnt f
scrawny limb or fiat bust is noithet
appreciated or admired by either stsx ,
and wo suppjy the lack , in appear
nnce , by artificial met > ns. " Dressing in
tights is one of the most fatiguing ol
duties. First , ono is obliged to put on a
pair of stockings that is a size too small ,
next comes the leggings or perhaps more
properly , the pantaloons. You ladle.
who huvo worked an hour trying to pull
a six und a half kid glove over a saver
und n half hand ; or you gentlemen whc
have labored for an hour trying to pull r
number nine boot over a number ten
foot , can form some idea of a lady put-
tin" ; on her tights. She next puts on hoi
corset which must fit her like a glove.
It must bo so shaped as to contract
her waist and swell her bust. Ii
is no small effort that enables a womar
to confine herself inside a corset. Aftei
this comes the bodice , which must bo lo\\
cut at the neck , not so low , however , a ;
tlioso worn at evening entertainments in
fashionable society , lilting her closely
displaying just enough of a well roundec
nook and shoulders to create u dnsiro te
see moro. This is followed by a peculiar ! ]
constructed urtlclo of attire whicl
bridges over the chasm between thi
pantaloons and bodice. These , with i
few ribbons , laces and frills , make tin
wardrobe of a girl in tights. "
B1 IUNGBOUG'S VICTIM.
The I. O. b. F. Take the Matter U
Hand.
There is but little doubt that Spicia
Officer Springborg has got himself in i
serious dilemma. Ho is the man whe
shot John T. Russell on Friday evening
last , claiming that ho caught him in the
act of breaking into Peterson's baki
shop , 2305 Cuming street. There wasn'
a particle of evidence to sus
tained his story , and the shooting wai
utterly unnecessary and without cause
The BKK showed up the horrible mannoi
in which Russell had boon handled anc
treated nt the city jail ; how he had beet
tumbled into ono of those foul cells , unr
loft thnn in his blood and excruciating
distress the entire night and how at the
morning session of court he hac
boon ushered before the judge it
delirious condition. The BEE'S expose
led to an investigation of the circum
stances surrounding tbe case by a com
mittee appointed for the pnrooso by the
Omaha Ledge No. 9,1. O. O. P. , of whioii
Russell is a member in the host of stand
ing. Yesterday morning Drs. Neville and
Ralph performed an operation on the
wounded man at the hospital. They removed
moved abont a quarter of an Inch of the
skull whore the bullott had struck and
which was pressing on the brain. Rus
soil only recovorou consciousness yes
terday , and for two days his death has
boon looked for. However , since the
surgical operation yesterday morning
ho has boon improving and the
physicians uro of the opinion that he
will ultimately recover. The pressure
of this fragment of skull on the brain , in
Homo manner , affected the man' <
power of speech , and m
yet ho has boon unable to articulate t
single intelligible word. The committee
in charge of the matter Fay that Chief ol
Police ooavey was waited upon foi
information regarding the nfiair , but re
fused to talk to tluuu aboul
the matter at all. They have , moreover
authored all the facts , without police aid
This committee also ascertained thai
Springborg has the reputation of a bullj
nnel a ornggart _
Disastrous Runaway.
The team of horses attached to the
delivery wagon belonging to F. T. Close
grocer , corner Sauiiders and Hamiltoi
streets , became frightened ycstoretaj
mormnc at u dog with a tliipan tied to his
tull , dashing under their heels , and thej
ran off. At the corner of So ward strootthe
vehicle collided with a bufrjiy in whiol
was a couple of boys. They wcro botli
thrown out , and one of Ilium sull'c.red t

An Expert Kxaailaatlon Made The
Ortoa Theory Oppewed.
Nicholas Hartman and Charles Schwat
of Plttsburg , Pa. , arc in the city am
have made several vlalU to the gas wol
near Sulphur Springs. They have prae
tlcal experience of a life time with the
gas wells of Pennsylvania and arc thor
oughly posted on such business. Both
pronounce the gas well here a good ono. .
They say it is foolishness to pronounce Ii
marsh gas for its purity ot flame , the nb
senco of odor , the fact that no other gat
springs are in the vicinity and its grow
ing bolter every day , shows that it is gcu
uine gas from lower earth escaping
through some rocky fissure.
"Why , " said Mr. Hartmnn. "I novot
saw better surface indications In all
Pennsylvania and I have boon time and
time again over all the prominent gas re
gions. The gas according to tbo list 1
made yesterday is far purer than I am
using now at my homo in Pittsburg. The
question of quality is all right. The
quantity has to bo sullied by practical
work. "
Mr. Sohwan. said "I can cordially
agree with Mr. Hartman. I consider
this showing without any proper gas
well machinery truly wonderful. You
must remember that in Pennsylvania wo
never thine of striking gas at a loss dis
tance than four or live hundred feet.
There yon have gas on the surface and it
is gradually growing stronger as you ga
down. See what you have at a dfstanca
of less than fifty foot. "
"What do you think of the marsh or
swamp gas opinion , Mr. Uchwau ? "
"Oh , that's all nonsense. In addition
to what Mr. Hartman has said , I can add
another re a n , showing that this is not
swamp gas. The latter never gives forth
any heal. Sco the heat in the gas at this
spring which we have proved by practical
tests. I think Omaha has struck a big
thing. There is no ono thing that would
be more beneficial to your city than the
discovery of gas. See Pittsburg gas to-day.
We cook with it , illuminate with it , run
our manufactories , warm our houses and
do all such necessary requirements. "
Those gentlemen are staying at the
Arcade hotel and have paid several Visits
to thegas spring and made different
practical examinations. They are en
thusiastic in their criticism of the spring.
It is now understood that Prof. Orton of
Ohiowho pronounced the gas marsh gas ,
made no test but just looked at the llnme
for a few seconds. Mr. Casey , proprie
tor of the Arcade , who has lived for
many years in the oil legion
and ispersonally acquainted with Messrs
Hartman und Schwan pronounces
their opinious on gas wells as deserving
of the highest credit and their standing
in Pennsylvania the host.
"They arc practical oil and gas men.
In fact I have been at work in the same
line in Pennsylvania and I know somo-
thine about gas wells from practical ex
perience , not from books. I toll you the
opinions of Messrs.Hartman and Sohwan
are good and their reasons sound. 1
believe this gas spring is a good ono and
should bodoveloi/ed. "
These gcntleminn made another test
yesterday and stated on return that
they had no reason to changa their favor-
abln opinions , but wcro moro confirmed
in their convictions , "It is only a ques
tion of quantity , " is what they say.
"There is good gas there which should
bo developed. "

"JKIJGK" COUIjIOV'H PROXY.
How the "Co-Ops" Mnnaged to Ran
the OentrM Committee.
At the meeting of the republican
county central committee last Saturday
fifteen persons presented themselves as
regularly elected members of the com
mittee and in " "
"approved co-oporatlon ,
as the Republican puts it , took posses
sion of the machinery of the party. It
now transpires that some of those proxy
mon wore traveling on torcod passports.
Among those most prominent at this
memorable gathoriug wns thu renowned
"Jodgo" Julius Cooloy. Ho was duly ad
mitted by Bochol & Co. , as thu proxy
for W. B. Peyton , a member from the
Third ward. It now transpires thnt Mr.
Peyton did not nuthorl/.o Cooley or any
other man to represent him on the com
mittee , and the whole performance is an
unmitigated fraud. Mr. Peyton says that
on Friday night John Sahlor' and
" .Tedgo" Wright called on him for his
proxy , but ho declined point blank. The
following affidavit is a clincher :
State of Nebraska , Douglas county , sn.
W. II. Peytonbeing first sworndeposes and
says , that ho Is a member of the republican
central committee , of Douglas ceiuntv. and ,
was duly elected as such by the republican
