Boodlers , bumincra , shysters and incompetents must bo kept off tbo bunch. CADKT TAYLOR'S con tract to hoist O. H. Bullou into Judge' Wakolcy's scat on tlio Ixinoh , is vlightly beyond Cadet's lifting capacity. A MAX who hired out to the gamblers labt winter to manipulate the legislature would make a Hwcct-sconted district judge , wouldn't lie ? GKNKRAL UAWLKY , of Connecticut , had a very neat little presidential boom during the summer and fall. Now the democrats say it lias collapsed because ho is engaged to bo married to an Eng- llnh woman. This is not likely to break up the match. DKMOCUATS are already prophesying that Samuel , T. Randall will bo made the chairman of the committee on ap propriations during the next session ot congress. This is not unlikely , but the tnajority wing of the party does not exult much over the prospect. THK furious assault of the police upon fcu asbombly of workingmou in Union square , Now York , the other duy , is everywhere rightly condemned as an outrage. It was a direct blow at por- Bonal liberty as guaranteed in this coun try and wholly without justification. TIIK State Grange of California recently - cently voted on a resolution declaring that the mtftriigo should bo extended to women. It was vo.iy decidedly nega tived by a vote of forty-four to three. This vote indicates very clearly the at titude of the level-headed California , farmer to the women's rights movement. SOME practical joker has imposed on the Jfcruld by _ representing one of the republican candidates for commissioner tin a boodlor while he was holding the Ollico to which ho now aspires. Inasmuch tis Mr. Welsh never was county com- tnibnionor and never hold any other county ollico , the canard contradicts itself. TliK United States grand jury in Arizona have discovered a ring of white cattle thieves who inudo a business of Blealing stock from the Indians. They % ill no doubt try to clear themselves by Attempting to show that if there were M ) Indians they would not have been Criminals. In the language of the Colorowdy the "Indian must go. " mercenaries who want to unload R brace of incompetents and oil room strikers upon the republican judicial ticket of this district affect to sneer at the BISK'S appeal for decency. They did the same thing last year when the BKU entered ita protest against the can didate for congress whos > o career and record made him obnoxious to the rank and file of the party , who above all things desire clean government. IDAHO keeps up with the procession of progress. The governor in hia an nual report estimates the population at 100,000 ; the horses , cattle , sheep and vhogsatovor 900,000 , and the taxable property at nearly $20,600,000. The value of the mineral product for the past year was $9,215,580. Ton thousand six hundred and seven pupils attend 322 frohools , while the whole numborof chil dren in the school ago is nearly 20,000. , The territory , it will bo seen , is laying a good foundation for .statehood , which dignity it may attain before very long. The governor protests against the pro posed division of the territory. THE minors of the Lehigh region ir Pennsylvania have now been out on i strike for some time and the prospect * are that they will not return to work this year. The scarcity of coal is con sequently increasing and the price steadily going up. For these evils tin coal coal company is entirely to blame A committee of minors waited upon the president of the combination the othei day , when ho decided that the company would not grant the desired advance Ho blamed other coinpnnlos who hnv < raised the wages of their workmen , foi the present high price of coal.

Bomo'yoara'agon member p ! our -city council rose in his scat and moved in nil eoriousnoss that' 'tho city charter bo ti'mondod by an ordinance. A counter part of this statesman has been dis covered in the person of Councilman Cotinsman. Ho has had the reputation of being somewhat of a crank , but no one suspected that ho would develop into a full-fledged know-nothing. Mr. Counsman imagines that his mission in the council is to pull the now city hall up by the roots and move it into the Fifth ward. Every tlmo anything has como up relating to the city hall ho has given the ornculnr opinion that there was no telling whether the building would bo put erected upon the present mto or re-located. At the last council meeting this eminent wiscacro introduced a resolution that the plans of the building be rejected , and that now pinna bo called for. Mr. Couns- mnn gives as a reason for calling for now plans that the building , as now de signed , will cost thirty-three per cent nioro than the original estimate- of the architect. Now the council has just as much power to abandon the plans of Architect Myers and start out on a now basis as they would have to amend the charter-by ordinance. The city hall was located upon lots six and seven , in block ono hundred and six teen by a vote of the citizens of Omaha , and in voting on that location the people - plo also ratified the plans of Mr. E. E. Myers. At the eamo election the elec tors of this bchool district authorized the the board of education to expend - pond twenty five thousand dollars lars in conjunction with the city council on the city hall building. By virtue of this authority a contract was entered into between the city of Omaha and the school district , and this contract expressly provides that ono story of the city hall , as planned by E. E. Myers , should bo forever reserved for the use of the , board of education. Under this contract twonty-flvo thoiiband dollars have boon paid into the city hall fund. Tlio money has boon expended in the construction of the basement. The council is there fore burred from cancelling the contract or adopting now plans , oven if the Myers plans had not boon submitted to and ratified by the people. Mr. Couns- man shows himself to bo a demagogue as well aa an ignoramus. Ho is a builder and ought to know enough to know that the estimate made throe years years ago by Architect Myers cannot bo .applied to any contract made at this time. Iron columns and beams , which enter largely into the con struction of the city hall , cost fifty per cent more to-day than they did throe years ago , and labor and material are from ten to twenty per cent higher. When Myers made his plans it was ex pected that the city could issue the necessary bonds and lot the contract the name season. But a defect in the old charter prevented the voting of the bonds and caused a delay of over eigh teen months. The contract for the bahomont was let a year ago , but the basement still remains unfinished. Is Architect Myers to blame for the delay fn letting the city hall contract , and is ho responsible for tn.o advance in- the cost of labor , iron and other build ing materials ? But oven if the council could at this stage abandon tdo Myers plans , would it bo prudent or econom ical to do so ? Mr. Counsoman who has stubbornly defied public sentfmout on other matters wants to hear from the people. The people have authorized the expenditure of $225,000 on the now city hall by direct vote. If it costs $50,000 more to complete the building the people will sanction it providing al ways that there are no jobs and steals in the construction contracts. Randall Declares lliniKclf. The Hon. Samuel J. Randall has been the honored guest of Atlanta , Ga. , and right royally was ho entertained. Wo doubt if there is any other public man , oven the president himself , who holds a warmer place in the esteem of the people ple of that city than the Pennsylvania congrobsman. They do not seem to en tertain the slightest question regarding the through-and-through soundness of his democracy , but their admiration and regard are duo largely to the fact that Mr. Randall is a sound democratic protectionist. It was for this reason chiclly that ho was selected to deliver the address at the opening of the ex position now in progress. With the matter of this ad dress , in part , the whole country has an interest. In a number of interviews since the last congress ad journed , Mr. Randall lias not been sat isfactorily explicit regarding his posi tion. Just before leaving Washington to go houth ho said ho did not debiro to talk about matters that might bo faub- jeets of dibcubsion in congress , and re ferred his interviewer to his record. Perhaps this ought to have been suffi cient , but there are people who have nursed the flattering unction that Mr. Randall , perhaps "for the good of the party , " would bo found when tlio proper time came willing to depart somewhat from his/ecord. Such people do not fully understand the character of the Pennsylvania congrebbman nor the in fluences that are behind him. In Atlanta Mr. Randall had an en tirely sympathetic audience , which expected something in his partic ular line , and ho met that expectation by very clear and plain declarations which no ono can misun derstand. Ho stood up bravely and boldly fbr a high protective tariff , un der which ho maintained the wages ol labor had been increased and the cost of living reduced , lie did not allow a single intimation of any debiro to eom- promi&o on this bubjoct to mar tho.unity and harmony of this branch of his ad dress. Protection under a high tarifl is , in the opinion of Mr. Randall , the thing the country needs and mubt ad here to. All doubts as to where Mr. Randall will bo found on this question in the next congress may therefore bo dis- iniriMjd. It will bo to no purKbO ( for the prcbidont to invite him to a conference , if he has over intended to do so. The revenue reformers know what thej have to encounter. The people can form their conclusions as to the chance : of rollof. from a reduction of the tariff. Mr. Randall has declared himself anil the declaration is not reassuring to the country. IT is now becoming manifest that tho. extensive py&tem of street railways which we have been * constructing this season will bo BUfllcicnt for the traffic of n city of 200,000 people. The question naturally occurs whether all those lines operated by rival companies , can bo made to pay for tholioxt two or throe ycara , at least. Well informed parties foreshadow as the inevitable outcome a consolidation of all the lines the horse railways , the cleotrlo motor , and the cable under ono management. Com bination always beats competition , and it is only a question of time when these rival railroad corporations will either pool or bo merged into ono anaconda , So far as the citizens of Omaha are concerned , such a consolida tion would be no detriment. While it will create monopoly in street rail ways , the benefits to bo derived from an extension of tracks in every direction is an accomplished fact. The lines must bo operated whether they pay or not. The only possible drawback of n consolidation would bo an indifference ns to speed , frequency of trips , and general accommodation to the traveling public. The charter authorizes the city council to regulate street railways , and unless the council is bodily owned by the street railway proprietors the public interest in the matter of speedy transit and commodi ous cars would bo amply protected. THAT Omaha wants a first-class fire proof hotel located in the business center - tor of the future , west of Fifteenth , somewhere between Howard and Capi tal avenue , goes without saying. Wo are reliably informed that the neces sary capital to embark in such an enter prise can bo secured from Chicago capi talists , who have heavy interests in South Omaha. But inasmuch as this project involves an outlay of over half a million for the building nlouo , a reasonable bonus will have to bo raised by Omaha property owners. The BER realizes that the tlmo has corao for placing Omaha on an equal footing with St. Paul and Minneapolis , and other western cities. Quito apart from the advantage which the city would derive from a first-class fire-proof hotel as an advertisement the under taking would stimulate other building enterprises and keep the boom going. THE sycophancy displayed by Pobt- master General Vilas in his speech at Milwaukee , on the occasion of the presi dential visit , has boon very displeasing to the Now York World , as indeed it should bo to anybody who remembers that this is a republic whoso president is the servant , and not the ruler , of the people. But it was quito characteristic of Mr. Vilas , who has boon conspicu ously the courtier of the administration. Ho is doubtless , also , filled with the idea that Cleveland has a preference for him for the second place on the ticket , and that ho might improve his chances by such a manifestation of ser vility. Wo give the president credit for too much common fconso , however , than to suppose ho would bo influenced by such bhallow stuff. Foil sublime self-assurance commend us to the late chief clerk of the govern ment printer. That political cheap John with his readorlcss organ actually poses as the mainstay of republicanism in this city and state and gives himself ; ho air of invincible leader of re publican hosts. With more self-conceit ind by far less ability than our notorious "Jodgo Cooley , " this adventurer mod estly takes upon himself the solo and exclusive championship of the repub lican county ticket. In duo time wo ex pect that ho will also claim for himself and his antique organ the entire credit for electing the successful republican candidates. FROM careful investigation , the num ber of miles of railroad built during 1886 and 1887 will bo over 20,000 , at a cost of about $420,000,000. Of this amount $00,000,000 will be expended in steel rails. The bounty on this sum paid to steel rail monopolists is esti mated at $25,000,000. Who pays this tax to the stool rail robbers ? Princi pally the farmers and industrial classes. Every ton of rails costs the consumers $17 per ton more than it can bo pro duced for at the present rate of wages. No wonder the iron mill syndicate op poses tariff revision. HASCALL appears to bo in no great hurry to submit the controvery between the council and police commission to the supreme court. The police muddle has enabled Hnscall to exert an influence in the present coun cil which ho never even hoped to wield when ho entered it. It has boon a bull ring in the noses of half a dozep mem bers who have since followed Hascall through thick and thin becaubo they lacked courage and manhood to assort themselves. Other Ijunds Tlinii Ours. Political-affairs in England continue to bo very animated. A meeting of liberal leaders was hold at the homo of Mr. Gladstone on the llth instant. The result of the conference has not at this writing boon made known , but it doubt less had reference chiefly to arranging a programme for public meetings to be hold at numerous important points. A notable mooting is to bo hold next week at Nottingham , where Gladstone will speak at length upon the political sit uation , and an address definitely bet ting forth the positions agreed upon by the party leaders will probably bo read. On the 17th the liberal unionists are to hold a meeting in London. About the clo-o of next week it is expected a cabi net council will bo hold at which the situation will be fully dibous-ed. Mean while Mr. Joseph Chamberlain is in Ireland , where ho is talking for the minority , whioh ho think * has not re ceived sufficient consideration. Thus all along the line the contending forces tire in array and ready to engage each other with renewed zeal. The indica tions to tlio far-away observer are that the strength of the liberals is growing btoadily. The blunders and failures o ! the government slnco thoi prorogation of parliamenthnvo * boon mb tcarefully noted by tlio pcqplo , and the ofTOct of their observation has undoubtedly boon to carry thousands over to the liberal ranks. Some dlbsatiafaction is believed to exist in the tory and liberal-union lines , and altogether the conditions and influences loading on to Hi * overthrow of the ministry would appear toboSttail- ily and surely increasing. It looks very much as if the habit of Mr. Gladstone of coming out ahead in the long run would not forsake him in this supreme ami perhaps final effort of his career. . * . The scandal in Franco regarding the sale of the decoration of the Loglon ot Honor , of which General Culture ! was proved to bo guilty , would very likely have boon short lived but for the fact that Boulangor has boon involved in it and plnccd under arrest. Ho invites the most searching investigation , and will probably bo able to clear himself. It is incredible that ho would have nl- lowed himself to bo a party to any such transaction ns that of trading in those decorations , and the fact that an other general of the army did so does not make the allega tion against Boulangor losa incred ible. Ho la n very different person from the convicted officer. If ho shall vindi cate himself ills friends will in all prob ability ascribe the hasty action of the minister of war to a desire to prosccuto Boulangcr and to degrade him in popu lar esteem , the effect of which might bo to give him another boom in popular idolatry. His most ardent friends al ready say that the scandal will cause the fall of the ministry. The assump tion of titles in Franco is not uncom mon , and is rarely checked , except when some real title , already belonging to others , is appropriated. There ia also an undoubted trade in Borne Euro pean decorations , and bomo time ago an English paper secured a price list for sundry stars , crosses , and ribbons which ono enterprising firm had established. This industry , in fact , had boon so far elaborated that it was carried on upon the installment system , by weekly payments. The decoration of the Legion of Honor , the only order loft in Franco , has not been suspected hitherto of being made a mat ter of traffic , but it is quito certain that it has been dispensed with a freedom that would considerably reduce its mar ket value for the purposes of General Caffarol or his associates. A world's fair at Paris is apt to bring out a great increase oi chovaliora , and since the decoration of the Legion of Honor can bo conferred for almost any sort of dis tinction , it is lossislrango that it has be come the possession of an enormous number of people , , ' , ' It is said that there are several scoregjof thousands of mem bers of the legion at prebcnt , taking all countries together * " . " * * * The part that Italy has been playing in European affairs has entitled her to bo regarded as peacemaker among the nations. The belief is that by unit ing with the opponents of Russian and French nggrebsiorivltaly has indefinitely postponed the threatening' ' European war. The now alliance , sustained by the moral support of England , will bo too formidable to bo assailed by the would-be disturbers of peace. Italy , however , has been moved to this course in part by selfish considerations. She wants , among other things , to extend her influence on the Mediterranean. Franco literally robbed her of Tunis. Italian capital had built railroads there and otherwise intrenched itself when the French stopped in from Al giers and took possession. It already crops out that this performance is ftot to bo repeated in Morocco , whither , on the false report of the death of the sultan , the various Eu ropean war vessels have so greedily hastened. Franco and Spain are sup posed to bo the chief contestants for predominance in Morocco , but the new alliance will have a powerful voice in the matter. Italy lias interests in Tripoli eli , where Franco has shown a disposi tion to establish herself as in Tunis. There are Italian colonial enterprises in eastern Africa to bo cared for also , and should there bo a European war result ing unfavorably to Franco , the French Riviera and Savoy would both doubtless bo ceded to Italy. The alliance promi ses to prove almost aa obnoxious to Franco lib it is to Russia , and Bismarck doubtlcbs fools safer and stronger binco it was made. * * * Late advices do not speak hopefully concerning the health of the crown prince of Germany. It seems to bo cer tain that the growth in his throat is cancerous , bomewhat similar to that of General Grant , and if so the death of the prince is only a question of a short timo. Ho has recently boon wasting physically and ia reported much weak ened since the last operation. His death would doubtless bo regarded by tlio German people as a great calamity. Ho would bo succeeded by his son , Fred erick William , who was born in 1859 , and is a man of quito different tempera ment from his father. Frederick William was married in 18S1 to Princo&s Victoria of Schloswig-IIolstcin , by whom ho has already had four children , so that there is no danger that the Ho- hon7ollern family will soon become ex tinct. Ho wasa wild , rcukles9youthbut since his marriage has bottled down into a genuine representative of the Prussian militaryftypo , dashing , reck less and impulbivo , but without those fixed traits of character which guaran tee much btability to his reign. Ho is in all respects a soldier , and probably a good and brave ono , but it remains to bo seen whether ho has the statesman like qualities necessary to a successful ruler of the great GeAnan empire. It may bo in view of this emergency , likely to bo precipitated any day , that Bismarck has been busy in perfecting the alliance between Germany , Aubtria aud Italy and settling the difficulties between the court and the Vatican , so that thoru shall bo Bomo guarantee of European peace in the event of a budden change. * * Prince Ferdinand's position in Bul garia is rapidly becoming consolidated , and it would appear aa if ho were to be come a permancuoy. The elections whlph took place throughout the coun try on Sunday last have resulted , in an overwhelming majority.for the govern ment , , while the latter hns won favor and consideration abroad by the stops which it has taken to pay into the sul tan's treasury the tribute duo by East ern Roumolin , and which la mortgaged to the padtshalr's English , French and Gsr.nuiu creditors. Finally It la an nounced that ( ii3 ejir Jins become BO disgusted with the promising turn TThich things have taken in the Balkans that ho has decided to wash his hands en tirely of the ungrateful Bulgars and to have nothing more to do with the plucky little nation. As n result ot this de cision the garrison at Odessa haa been reduced to its normal strength. * Whether the sultan of Morocco lives or dies there ia Hkoly to bo trouble in the empire , since former insurgents nro gathering again. It was not very long ago that ho was engaged in hostilities with the tribes around Tcdja , his forces entering the town of Rabat , which caused the Spanish government to hurry an ironclad to tlio latter point with a message for him. Now Spain ia making palpable preparations for n campaign in Morocco , a war ship having already boon sent to Tangier and troops being concentrated at Tarifa and Algcclras , from which latter point a submarine cable is to bo laid to Conta. Franco haa sent an ironclad to Tangier , and Italy hns dispatched two war ships thither , so that when the English ves sels also arrive the harbor will present a noteworthy naval spectacle. * * There is somehow rather a western than a Russian flavor in the cable state ment that the petroleum flowing out of the wells at Baku cannot bo checked , and lb serioubly inundating that town. There is no doubt that the production of oil in that region is enormous , and the petroleum exhibition to bo hold at St. Petersburg next month will no doubt contain seine wonderful illustrations and statibtics on this point. The abund ance of petroleum has had ono marked effect in the substitution of liquid fuel for coal in many steam engines in Rus sia. More than a thousand locomotive and stationary engines and two or throe hundred blcamei'S now use it , and the navy department considers it good enough for its new and powerful iron clads. * * Of all the crowned and uncrowned princely heads in tlio castle of Frcdons- borg , Zealand. Denmark , none attracts bo much attention as the czar of Russia. The unusual extension of his bojourn in that secluded bpot into tlio month of October is easily understood if the fact is known.that it ia the only place on earth where the mighty ruler of the largest empire that now is or ever was feola at case and can allow himself to go about and behave like other human beings without the fear of nihilibtic attacks harrassing his mind. Although ho bus surrounded his castle of Gatchiua , nour Petersburg , with walls and guards believed to be impregnable , death from a murderer's hand lias bovoral times already blared him in the face in hia very private .study in that palace. And wherever ho goes within his own em pire things are worse and more threat ening than atGatchina. ButatFrcdons- borg his fear loaves him , and ho is familiar and human like other men. The other day the whole family circle some three dozen in number made an excursion to Holfaingoor by train. Tlio czar invited his sister-in-law , Princess Marie of Orleans , to walk with him , and the couple actually traveled the whole distance , some nine miles , and enjoyed the walk. On their arrival they went to the public restaurant at the depot , and had their lunch by the side of a drummer , who was not at all aware of the high rank of hia table companions. * * * The action of Dhuleop Singh in pub licly declaring his hatred of England and his resolve to free his country from the British yoke may have an import ant bearing on affairs in India , especi ally in view of the fact that ho has boon admitted to all the rights aud privi leges of a Russian subject and looks upon the c/ar as his sovereign. The dis affection felt in India against English rule is deep-seated , and all the more dangerous in that it is fomented in se cret and by all the machinery which a religion of mystery can bring into play. If another uprising bhould take place it is likely that England would find the legions of the czar behind the half- trained boldiers of India. KINGS AND QUIOKNS. The Empress Eugenia will pass the whiter at Naples. Kinu Milan of Sorvla , and Queen Natalie have agreed to disagree and live apart , but neither will scok u divorce. The czar Is having a high old time nt Copen hagen. Ho is ublo to sncozo without fear of exploding a dynamite ralno. Queen Victoria is very methodical with public business and generally gets through with three hours' hard work a day. It is said that the sultan of Turkey is de sirous of personal interviews with Qucoa Victoria and Kmi > oror William , and will soon visit London and Berlin. King Leopold is a man of marked ability , and In all probability does more hard work personally than any other sovereign of 12uropo. Ho ia beloved by his people and mixes among them freely. Queen Kaplolani , of Hawaii , has conferred tlio order of Kapiolani upon Governor Ames of Massachusetts , Mayor O'Urieu of Boston , and five aldermen. This is In recognition of her gorgeous entertainment in Boston , which cost the city 118,000. Prince Charles of Sweden , the third son of the king , is ono of the handsomest men in Europe. Ho 1s a manly fellow as well , a dar ing horseman , highly accomplished , and an author whoso style is vigoious and polished. AH this , and a prince , too 1 Queen Christina of Spain is an immense favorite with the people , and if pretty she would carry all before her ; but her face is too loseatu , mid her hands and feet too long and sinewy. She smokes cigarettes , a habit which she contracted when a girl. Princess Clotilda has Just finished a mantle elio has embroidered fo the ixspo. The nian- tlo , which is of whlto satin.cmbroidcrod with golden llowors , will bo sent to the approach ing exhibition to bo held at the Vatican on the occasion of the jwpo's Jubilee.

The pleasing public attentions paid to her must bo very grateful to his ex cellency. Her popularity lias won upon the people until they kindly regard her as a largo part of the national family. Dcpow Goes In For Hrnlns. Recent Interolcu1. The idea has been industriously circulated that wo could never afford to elect too bruluy n man president. It killed Webster and many other good men slnco , but I think the American people would now like at least to try the experiment and see If the country would bo ruined by electing our brainiest and most talented men to the presidency. Autumn Ilomicau. Swlnlntnic. From spring to fall the year makes merry , With days to days that chant and call ; With hopes towrown and fears to bury With crowns ofjllowera nnd flowers for pall ; With bloom and song , and bird and berry ; That lllls the months with festival From spring to fall.

The storm thinks long , the winds wux weary , Till winter comes to wind up all From spring to fall. TWO IN ONK. Tlio Rricklnycrs and Stonemasons Or- fjani/.o a Subordinate Lodgo.

"ItcwMolicd" nt tlio Hoyd'knHt Mght , . . ' llofurti n Imrfto Audience * "Bewitched" is Sol Smith Russell's , now play , for the sonsou. Unlike "Pa" which was hwt year indicted on the public , it ia a success. This opinion is based upon the fact that ono of Russell's objects in lifo or rather , on the stage , is to make the pcoplo laugh , and that in cludes the efforts of nearly all the mom- bora of the company who contribute , iu greater or losa degree , to the cnchi- nation with which many of the scenes KrS received. The piece IH founded upon the Iffij'ossiblo ' and supernatural otloct which an fudia. amulet is sup posed to have on everybody nito whoso possession it comes. That effect is iO make every male and fomnlo possessor in an instant , a full-fledged lunatic. The moment the possessor becomes relieved - liovod of the nmuloi , ho or she regains hi or her normal good sense. Russell becomes lunatic-extraordinary and , of course , creates , as is to be expected , the most oi the merriment. There is noth ing now in his mannerism , however. Ho is the same Russell ho has always boon in songs , grimaces nnd center tions. Nevertheless , these peculiarities sooin to take. So long as they do , Mr. Russell would bo a lunatlo in reality to attempt to change the tiger's spots. The company appear thin afternoon and evening at the same place. Hebrew LndlrH' Society.
