Now that Gould has consolidated the two principal telegraph systems of the country ho will have to enlarge his water ing-trough. JOHN HKKJIIT seems to contract sadly as he grows older. Once the champion of freedom , ho is now the mouth-piece of oppression. Ho has just written a violent letter against the movement for home rule in Ireland. F M * ' TIIRKE was a time when the Washing ton papers could not say anything too mean about ox-Governor Shepherd. Now their comments upon him fairly rook with tally. 1'et Air. Shepherd has not changed , ho simply brought about a boom in real estate. THE visit to Omaha this week of the Knights of Pythias will bo ono of the most interesting events of the year. It is expected that fully ten thousand mem bers will bo hero during the session of the grand ledge , and the parade of next Wednesday , with most of these In line , will bo an exhibition long to be remem bered. The order is ono of the strongest and most honorable in the country , and is steadily crowing. It is a benolicial order , and in that character does a vast amount of good which is not paraded to the world , The Knights merit.and will receive the most cordial hospitality from the citizens of Omaha. Tun corn palace at Siuu.x City was a unique project * that has been a most gratifying success. Nebraskans will de rive special satisfaction from the fact that this state carried off the. honors for having the best exhibit , and to Cuming county belongs the glory of having main tained the reputation of Nebraska as being - ing lirst among the corn-producing states ot the country in the quality of that grain. Tlio enterprising farmers to whoso efforts this result is duo are Mr. A. U. Graham , of Wisnor , and Mr. U. F. Kloke of West Point and take , , wo pleas- > urc in according them the credit duo their meritorious work. Such examples of patriotic interest in advancing thn fame of Nebraska cannot bo too warmly commended. Tin : Now York WorM , ruminating upon the present tour of Mr. Cleveland , allows its memory to roll back the cur tains of the past and dwell upon the time , thirty-seven years ago , when General - oral Winfleld Scott made a trip among the people , ostensibly in the interest ot a soldiers' and sailors' homo , but really to promote his cause as tlio whig candidate for the presidency. It recalls that he was everywhere enthusiastically re- coivoa , until ho became impressed with the belief that his election was assured. HutllG carried only four states and re- toived but forty-two electoral votes. The H'orWJeavcs to inference the application of this reminiscence , but it is so plain that error is impossible. History records that the chief mistake of General Scott was n too liberal dispensation of "tatty. " The "noli Irish brogue" | . und life "delightful Gorman accent" made altogether too strong a dose for the stomach of that time , which was being I fed very freely with know-nothing " * * pabulum. Mr. Cleveland has been dis tributing some tally , but it is of a lea ; nauseating kind. Tin : sixteenth annual convention o : I' the American Bankers' association wil f assemble at Pittsburg tOMiiorro , w. Tlu secretary of the association reports thai there are about nine thousand banks and banking institutions in thn country , but only n very small proportion of these wili be represented in the convention. Tin truth ia that these assemblages thus fai have represented the views of only i fraction of the bankers of the country and these chietly of the cast , For tin : reason the influence of the ossociutior has been less than it would othorwisi have boon , The chief object of the com ing convention is to get into compaci form the banking history of the pas year , and to discuss linancia and banking methods. Ono papei which will be of considcrabli interest will bo by Comptrolle Trenholm on the Increase in the numbo : of new bank * in the country during tin past year. He will show that there hav boon more banks started than in an ; previous year in tuo history of the couu try , that the south and west have ro I , cclved the larger proportion of these l\ \ and that more than usual liuvo been nn llonal banks. Krep.thc Judiciary Pare. " The Judicial convention of tho' two" parUca whoso business it is to nominate four candidates for judges of the Third district will convene in this city next Monday. If these conventions act upon the recommendations of tlio bar , three ot the judges who now occupy seats on the district bench , namely : Wakoly , GrofTnnd Hopowoll , will bo nominated by both conventions. Such action would to in accord with public scntimcnt.whioh is opposed to dragging the judiciary into the mire of political contention. Con ceding that the republican party has a round majority in this district , It would bo very short-sighted and impo litic to rule out as ab'o and honorable a judge as ElcaserWakoly because ho is a democrat. It is a matter of history that ho was originally np- pomtcd to the place ho now holds on the bench by a republican governor , nt the urgent request of leading republicans of all faetlons.nnd this action was endorsed by the republicans at the lust judicial election. If it was proper for a republican gov ernor to appoint Judge Wakcly , and a republican convention to place Him on its ticket , there is no reason for raising the partisan bar against his joint nomi nation thlo year. To do so would only force hundreds of republicans who believe - liovo in sustaining a pure judiciary to scratch their tickets. The clamor which comes from certain quarters in favor of nominating n straight republican judicial ticket is inspired chiefly by candidates who are utterly unlit for places on the bench , and will never bo elected as against Judge Wakely or any democrat of known integrity nnd high rank in the legal profession. Mucli as republicans may desire party su premacy , thousands of them are too onsciontious and sclf-rcspocting to bo Iraggooncd into the support of any can- lidato for judge whoso associations are with the vicious and criminal classes , or who as a lawyer has sold out or swmdle.U his clients , or who acks the legal knowledge and experi ence in law practice which is essential us a qualification for a competent judi ciary. The unseemly scramble for nom- nations to the district bench by men who ought to know that they cannot run he gauntlet of nn open campaign , is imply aggravating. A blacksmith who would persist in tinkering with watches , or bricklayer who would 'ro out to do ; abinet-work , would be no more out of place than is a man who has neither a cgal mind or the practice as nn attorney .o push himself on the bench in the metropolis of the ptato. The Teleitrnph lenl. Notwithstanding the statement of Mr. arrett to the contrary , there.appears to bo no reason to doubt that the absorp- lon of the lialtimore & Ohio telegraph ines by tlio Western Union is an accom plished fact. There was an intimation contained in the reported interview with Mr. Garrctt on his arrival from Europe hat he had something to .say before tlio ransaction could bo completed , and as 10 had not been consulted regarding the leal would in due time bo heard from. It is not at all likely , however , that Mr. lOtild and the astute manager of tlio iVcsteru Union have made any mistake n connection with this purchase , nnd ; hey are authority for tlio statement that it has been made. The ollicials of the jiurchased property have been somewhat reticent , but there were good reasons why they should bo. The deal has been desired by the West ern Union company for a long time , and s in keeping with the well-known policy of that organization. It has been the Anhconda of American telegraph compa nies , pursuing a steady policy for the suppression of all competition and the acquisition of the entire field of tcle- crapliy in this country. It is not likely under its present management to change this character. In gathering in the Bal timore & Ohio it has rid itself of the most dangerous rival it over had. What the railroad built up by the elder Garrctt , and which has recently passed into the hands of a syndicate , was to the other trunk lines , in compelling them to maintain a continued contest for business from which the public derived no inconsiderable benefit , the telegraph of the same corporation was to the West ern Union. It forced that company wherever it entered into competition , and it has reached out to nearly all the great centers of telegraphic communica tion , to give the public a degree of con sideration which ns a monopoly the Western Union would not have accorded. The creation of the lialtimoro & Ohio lines was the beginning of a reduction of telegraph rates which has saved the business men of the country many mill ions of dollars. While directed by the eminent financier who established it the contest was maintained with never a show of weakness , and wore his successor n man of equal ability it is questionable whether Mr. Gould would now have possession of it. But the son falls far short of the father in finan cial rapacity , und under his administra tion the great properties whose control ho inherited became unprofitable and have passed into other hands. What is to bo the result of this deal b the question which very closely concerns the public. The United and Postal com panics are the only remaining opposition , and these are less formidable than was the Baltimore & Ohio. The otliclals ol tlio Postal company expect to be beuo fitted by the deal , as they look to securing a good share of the business of the Balti more & Ohio , and where this competition extends rates will probably not bo in creased. On the contrary it may become the policy of tie | Western Union to stil further reduce them in such territory , Ir order to the more speedily bring tin ; remaining opposition to terms. But it it hardly , to be supposed that whore tin Western Union has now obtained complete pleto control it will fail to advance the charges for its service. There is sonn security for the public , however , in tin fact that this must bo done with grua caution , since any excessive exaction would bo resented and would invite com petition into the now monopolized ter ritory. The people have learned wha telegraph service can bo done for , am they will not readily stfbmit to any at tempt to re-establish the extortions' : past period. Thu Western Union management agemont may bo influenced only I ) , considerations ot immediate results , bu if it shall shape its policy in. sucl n line It may not bo able t long enjoy unchallenged the advantagi it has gained in swallowing up its moa formidable competitor. In any event the deal is in the. dircc lion of monoply , and therefore hostile to the public interest. This may not bc < como at onoe apparent , but It IE hardly possible that the ultimate effects will Mil to show it. The tendency will very llKcly bo to direct popular attention moro strongly than over to the qnrstlon of governmental control of the telegraph , a policy which already has many strong advocates and which would undoubtedly bo widely endorsed by the people. Still at the Crib. The tax-caters are still at the crib. The exhibit , presented by the September ap propriation ordinance affords ample food for reflection to the people who pay taxes In Omaha. Unless the council can bo induced to put n stop to the Inexcus able waste of the people's money on su pernumeraries , needless deputies , and deadbeat hangers - on , the bottom will drop out of our city tiea- snry ono of these days , nnd wo will bo In the condition in which Memphis - phis was when she had to scale and re pudiate her dubt. \ \ hat excuse is there for allowing the city clerk nnd city treasurer three deputies each , paying a pest house keeper who has had nothing to do for two years , and running a street commissioner foreo under five bosses , some of whom draw double pay bv hiring their teams to the city ? What-need of nn army of Inspectors when half of them have nothing to Inspect ? All this waste nnd extravagance arises from the trades und tie-ups among councilman. THE redoubtable Iltggms , hu who pro nounced the civil service law a humbug and has contemptuously ignored the order of the president requiring office holders to attend to their duties and let politics alone , Is looking higher than the position of appointment clerk in the treasury department. Iligging wants.to bo doorkeeper in the house of represen tatives , and he points with pride to his party devotion in support of his claim. It is the fruits of this devotion which have caused the democratic revolt in Mary- and , but it would not bo surprising if Higgins secured a considerable support hould ho earnestly push his claims. Doubtless a great many democrats who will bo in the next congress sympathize with his attitude. But the office of door keeper will not go beeging , and as there ire several aspirants who have been quito as devoted to the party as the bold epudiator of Mr. Cleveland's pet policy t is pretty safe to predict that he will not get the position. ACCOKDINO to Mr. McShano's paper Hascall and the republican majority of the council gave the BEE a black eye by ordering the registrars and judges of election to publish their notices to voters n the Herald and ItcpubUcan. This islet lot much of a black eye to the Br.E. The entire advertising will not exceed ono HI ml red dollars , or about what any ono of a dozen Omaha merchants pays this paper in a single day. But it is nn im position on the voters and taxpayers , who arc entitled to notice through the best circulating medium. Hascall and lis tin-cans of the council knew very well hat the notices through the Herald and Hepublican will not reach one-third of he voters which can be reached through any issue of the BKE. They have again exhibited their petty spite , which shows what small-callbro material some republi cans of the council are made of. Tun republican members of the council are not anxious to elect the republican county ticket. These small-bore states men have made the democratic paper , which is delivered in Omaha by thirteen carriers ns against the BKE'S forty-five carriers , the medium through which yoters are notified about places and time of registration , which the law requires to bo done through two daily papers.

A Frightful Accident. The alarm of lire sounded from box 43 at 10 o'clock yesterday morning was occas oncd by the bursting or displacement ot ho Btcainjplplng connected with the boiler at Rosenmund'a restaurant. 1013 Furnam street. The services of the ( Ire depart ment. however , were unnecessary , owing to the peculiar character ot the accident , yet the damage resulting from it was quite extensive , and caused the death of ono man. The flange or rim at the point whcro the steam -pipe connects with the boiler gave way , al- owing all the steam and heat with which the pipes and reservoirs within the juilding wore tilled to burst out into the engine room with turrlllo and disastrous torco. Mr. Itosonmund had just left this department , and his escape from death' or serious injury was extremely narrow , as Charlie lloohstclner , the engineer. was caught in the do hi go of 'steam anil icat % nd almost literally roasted alive. The probabilities are that ho was in close proximity to the boiler when the hot air and fctcam burst through the dis placed pipe upon him. Ho was dashed back against the rear wall amidst a de- iris of nrortar and brick , but scrambled to his feet , and with a scream , of terror ind pain rushed into the hall way , where 10 fell to the tloor : He was lifted up by a number of the attaches and carried to ono of the rooms up stairs. Hero a hasty examination revealed that his hurts were of the most horrible and dangerous char acter. His face and hands were blackened and bcaldcd , his' hair was blown back in his head in a hideous way , and his clothes stripped in rags. He pre sented n horrible spectacle1 , as he lay writhinc upon his bed in the most ex cruciating agony. The tlesh fell in strip * from his forrarms and hands , while the skin on each cheek and his forehead was burned and curled up like thin shavings. Several physicians wore called in , but for some inexplicable reason none were permitted to adminis ter to the sufferer , it being announced by some of the attaches about the nlaco that they would wait for some particular Ger man doctor , who had been dispatched [ or. Ho was removed to the hospital in the afternoon , and deatli ended his suflcrings about C o'clock last evening. lie was a simile man and had been in tin. " country about live years. The cause of the disaster , it is learned from reliable authority , was that there was not siillielent connection between the cylindrical shells of the boiler to insure due equilibrium and inadequate allowance made for ex pansion in the piping , with a mixture , probably , of poor plumbing. The boiler was a Howe patent upright base burner , and was only put in now last spring. Mr. Rosenmund says that there was but three pounds of steam on at the time of the accident , but as this would bo hardly sufficient to force the heat throughout the largo building , thu nres-iiiro must have been much greater. The capacity of the boiler is 150 pounds. Mr. Standevcn , the city boiler inspector , made an immediate investigation , and determined that the cause of the trouble ) was exactly as has been detailed above. Rosonnmnd's loss is nearly $800 , principally in oranges , lemons and oilier goods , which were stored in an apartment Adjoining the boiler room and were spoiled by the How of water and steam that poured in them. _ _ _ BATUUDAV S IIIAGICOV. An IJxpOHO of the 1'ornoiiH Who KlK- ured In ft. Mrs. Lut/ , whoso paramour will be consigned to a grave in the county burial ground to-day , spent yesterday alone in ttio little cottage 12'-5l South Thirteenth street , looking out the win- daw at the passerc by. The house is sit uated in the rear of a saloon , the back part of which rests upon the hill which skirts the street. Still further up the ac clivity is tlio Lynch-LntK cottage , at one of the front windows of which the Lutz woman took her lonesome heat yesterday. A UKK reporter called in the afternoon. All outward evidence of the struggle had been oblit erated In the ram of the night beforeand nobody approaching thu doorstep would have noticed anything which would give any indication of Saturday's desperate tragedy. Mrn. Lutz received the reporter with ease and composure. Siic was dressed in blackand her teulurcs showed the effect of sadness long-experienced , rather than that which might have been occasioned by her husband's latest deed. The interior ot the cottage consists of three small rooms , all neatly kept. The furniture is new and of imitation of old oak. Over the bed ha , < igs n picture of a beautiful -young woman with a veil of black lace thrown negligently yet becomingly over her head after the manner of a Spanish lady. Mrs. LuU was asked whoso picture it was , and re plied it was ono that Lynch had brought from New York. It was evidently an enlarged and colored crayon copy of a photograph , which Lynch had evidently used in soliciting orders for that kind of work. On a rack on the wall was a num ber of cheap books , novels and the like , and among tltom bound samples ot vol umes such as book canvassers employ. These in a measure showed that Lynch had in all probability , ut one time been n book agent. In tiie back of one of these volumes which contained sampln pages of the bible , several his tories , a work on coins and several other volumes , wore tour pages of an album in one of the openings ofwinch was a pic ture of Lynch , which showed him to hayc been a bright and not unattractive young man at the time the photograph was taken. In the rear room of the cottage wore several shelves of preserves which Mrs. Lut/ had put up ; an ice-chest ; sev eral other articles which might bo found in a well supplied pantry.together with a chest of small drawers , such as are used by jewellers , upon which Lynch had worked the night before the murder. Ho was evidently a workinginun of con siderable ability , and his .sample in this case showed him to be rather qualihcd for the more skilled labor of "finishing" or cabinet work than for the rougher labor of the ordinary carpenter. Later , from a gentleman in this city who claimed to know Lynch , it was ascer tained that he once kept a chair repair shop on Twelfth btreet , between Harney and Farnam streets , and flint among others ho did repairing for Shlverlck , the Farnam street furniture man. It is told , also , that at that time ho was living with a woman , and with whom ho professed to be very ' religious , going to church almost every Sunday night.
