DKMOCUATS are already prophesying
that Samuel , T. Randall will bo made

. 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

ant bearing on affairs in India , especi

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

The idea has been industriously circulated
that wo could never afford to elect too bruluy

try the experiment and see If the country
would bo ruined by electing our brainiest
and most talented men to the presidency.

With crowns ofjllowera nnd flowers for pall ;

From spring to fall.
Who knows if ever skies were dreary
With shower and cloud and waterfall }
While yet the world's good heart Is cheery
Who knows if rains will over brawl ?
The storm thinks long , the winds wux weary ,
Till winter comes to wind up all
From spring to fall.

"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.

King Hold For Criminal Libel.
The case of J. B. King , charged by
Isaac Brown , with criminal libel , came
xip before Judge Borka in the police
court yesterday afternoon. Charles Of-
futt conducted the case for the defense
nnd Parko Godwin for the prosecution.
The complainant , Brown , was the first
witness placed on the stand. Ho testi
fied that all of the allegations sot forth
in the article published in the Herald of
July 10 were falso. Other witnesses tes
tified that King had acknowledged to
them that ho was the author of the arti
cle in question. The defense did not
offer any testimony , stating that in the
drawing up of the complaint the statute
was misconstrued and that the defend
ant was perhaps guilty of a misdemeanor ,
but not of a felony. The counsel claimed
that tlio perbon responsible for the pub
lication of the article was guilty of n
felony. Judge Borka decided to bind
King over to the district court under
$800 bonds.
