candidacy has ( lamngcd the republican
county tickets not only in this , but in
other counties of the district.
GKOUGK FRANCISTKAIX is in Chicago
ngaiii and once more the papers devote
largo space to interviews with him. IIo
thinks ho was treated well in'Omahu
and he is not backward in comparing , the
hospitality of the two cities.
Till ! hcapegru-ces who scut the bottle
of ink mill gunpowder to Chief Justice
Waite are not deserving of the least
clemency. They should receive the Tull
penally of ( ho law for the most serious
charge that win bo nmilo against them.
COI.ONKI. NICHOLAS SMITH , who mar
ried Grcoley's daughter , way at one
time accounted the handsomest man in
America , nnd ho lived homo years on
Ills appearance. Now , however , there
Is a whole menagerie of wolves before
liis door and his family are supported
by cluirity.
ACCOKDIMI to sv law recently en
acted in Now York free libraries nro
entitled to an appropriation of $5,000
for the first 75,000 volumes circulated.
This will no doubt createa. boom
among tlio libraries of the Empire
htate , but tbe policy of this sort of in
centive is questionable. It will not bo
iv dilUuult matter for the librarians to
load their bholves-with cheap literature-
and there is too much of that in circula
tion already.
Tin : Consolidated Cattle Growers'
convention asked congress to compen
sate owners of cattle compelled to vacnto
government lands if "it should bo found
they wcro located on territory in good
faith , and , us they suppo-od.under color
of law. " That is , they want to bo in
demnified because they supposed , they
hud a color of a right to be where they
are. If this is not "check" what is ?
Lolnnd Stanford could hardly burpass
this.
Tin : letter of Mayor Hewitt of Now
York , denouncing newspaper bosses ,
BocMiis to have commended itself to the
unqualified approval of President Cleveland -
land , who sent his congratulations to
the author. Perhnpt this simple cir
cumstance will incline Mr. Hewitt to
fcul more kindly than ho is understood
to have done toward Mr , Cleveland.
But the Worlil keeps right on hammerIng -
Ing away with redoubled zeal for Nicoll ,
nnd if he should bo elected that paper
will have ii great deal of fun with the
president and the mayor.
TIUHK : is no valid reason why the re
publican county ticket should in any
way sulTer by Mayor Drontch'B order
closing the fcaloowi on election day , be
tween the hours of 8 a. m. nnd 0 p. in.
While this- order is a now departure for
Omaha it ia an. old custom in nearly all
the largo cities of the country. In New
York city , where the democrats have
the municipal government , the law
closing silicons on election day has for
years boon rigidly enforced. Oinnlm is
without n registration law , and there is
liable to bo much disorder during the
election. The closing of the saloons is
therefore in keeping with the prevail
ing aoiitlmont in this community in
favor of n fair , Eobor , nnd unbought
election.
X society is beginning to
discuss posulble changes , and innova
tions during the coming winter. The
eocml season proper does not begin , we
believe , until after the .holidays , but
all preliminaries nro arranged in ad
vance of the holidays , HI far as it IB
practicable. Mrs. Cleveland is of course
the arbiter , and although hlio has thus
fi\r \ ruled with llttlo show of authority ,
allowing the social current to move
along in the accustomed cluuincl , it is
not unlikely she will introduce soiuo re
forms the coming winter. One is al
ready assured in the abandonment of
low-nock dresses. Mrs. Cleveland 1ms
never approved this style , and it i un
derstood that they will no longer bo in
voguo. Tills will bo a victory for mod
esty that can bo heartily commended.

I. . . S. Oliver , of the amnesty association , to
day tufted Mayor Hoclio for permission to
circulate a jiutitlon at tlio street corners In
voking executive clrmciiry in bclmlf of the
condemned amirflilsts. Mnyor Iluuhc said lie
had no cAijcctlon to thl * , providing it should
bo done In a pmHr ] ! manner nndrith a proper
spirit. Atxocttitid I'l'diS ltMtch. ]
So it has come to pass In this great re
public , with its boasted freedom , that
American citizens nro compelled to pro
cure n permit from one of their chosen
public servants to petition for amnesty !
In the year 1887 , A. D. , with
the right of petition guaranteed
by national nnd state constitutions ,
American citizens must on bonded knees
beg the mayor of Chicago to graciously
allow them to hand in u petition to an
other public servant who happens to oc
cupy the executive chair of Illinois.
Could there bo anything moro humiliat
ing ? "When Horace Grcoley signed
the bail bond of Jeff Davis , who was
held for high treason , did ho have to
oak the mayor of New York for permis
sion:1 Did the thousands and thousands
of cili/.cns who asked for amnesty for
HID rebel loaders have to gut permission
from their municiyal or state ofllcorb ?
Would any Russian peasant have to ask
permission from any public olllccr be
fore he could petition the czar for
amnesty fora condemned nihilist ? Are
wo not drifting rapidly toward imperial
ism under a republican form of govern
ment ?
Overriding tlic I < nw.
Councilman Counsman'a resolution
authorizing the saloons to keep open on
election day is not only an idiotic piece
of presumption , but is likely to cause n
conllict between the police and the
retail liquor dealers. The pretense
Unit Mayor Broateh's order is void be
cause ho did not issue a regular procla
mation is silly. The mayor need not
issue any proclamation that the law
shall be enforced. It is his sworn duty
to enforce the law as ho finds it on the
statute bool < s. That his predecessors
have not enforced the law nnd violated
their oaths of olllco is no credit to them.
Tlio councilmcn have no more right to
interfere with him in the discharge of
his duty than they have with the run
ning of the courts. If they cail suspend
u stato'law by resolution they can wipe
out the entire city charter.
Tlio lling at the "pretended" chief of
police is beneath contempt. Chief
Scavey did not make the law nnd did
not instigate the order of the mayor to
enforce the law. Under the charter he
is responsible to the mayor and police
commission only , and he is bound to
obey their instructions. The attempt
of the council to override the stnto law ,
instead of helping the liquor dealers ,
plays into the hands of prohibition agi
tators , and will help on the pio'iib'tion '
issue. Chenf Seavcv is in duty bound
to obey the mayor's orders to enforce
the Inw , aud anybody who resists will
find himself in the position of a law
breaker in spite of the resolution ot
the council.
Xo Occasion Kor Alarm.
Months ago the country was warned
of impending calamity certain to befall -
fall with a shock to all interests be
fore November if * the national treasury
did not at once open its vaults
and feed the hungry " money
market all it would take. These people
ple bosoiged aud bcsoochod the secre
tary of the treasury to hasten to the
rescue , and besought the public nnd
the commercial organizations of the
country to give their voice to the de
mand for relief. Their efforts were not
without effect. The secretary of 'tho
treasury responded , to the extent of his
authority , and with the result of show
ing that the wild cry of danger ahead
had very little or nothing to justify it.
The actual money want of the country ,
as shown by the willingness of bond
holders to dispose of their bonds at a
fair price and to accept advance inter
est , was demonstrated to bo less than
thirty million dollars , or not moro than
fifty cents per capita of the population.
The legitimate interests of the
country wcro not suffering for
money , nnd they have passed
the point at which disaster was to be
encountered not only without experi
encing any trouble or disturbance , but
in a moat prosperous and healthy con
dition. Confidence had been somewhat
shaken , largely by reason of the noise
made by the alarmists , but the fcolid en
terprises and the unspcculntivebusiness
of the country was not in the slightest
danger. Perhaps those pcoplo , the
alarmists and pessimists , did a good ser
vice in giving the opportunity to firmly
establish this fact.
Those people have latterly been devoting -
voting their attention to western enter
prise , and in their wonted way deplor
ing a condition of things for which they
can heo no outcome but loss nnd disas
ter. The wonderful development
of this region in the
last few years the o dismal
prophets regard as largely
waste , and much is heard in solemn dep
recation of railway extension and in
ridicule of the price of real estate which
at the most active nnd prosperous cen
ters contrasts somewhat widely with the
value of realty in' the unprograsalvo or
deteriorating towns of the cast. Cities
like Omaha , Minneapolis and St. Paul
arc referred to as examples of a devel
opment largely speculative , nnd therefore -
fore doomed to a reaction that must
prove more or less ruinous in its cense
quences. Correspondents of eastern
newspapers nro sent out to fortify this
view by investigation and observation ,
and their testimony is supplemented by
that of men who at some time or other
came west and lacking the ability and
enterprise to "grow up with the country"
made a failure and returned to the
cast to plod along , through life in the
easy way to which they had been accus
tomed.
It is not apparent that in this matter
the cry of the alarmists and pessimists
is having much effect. There is no ev
idence that the tide of population west
ward is diminishing. Nebraska will
add at least one hundred thousand to
hor-populution this year , and the bteody
growth of Omaha is apparent to every
citizen. There has been a subsidence ,
generally in the real estate movement
of western cities , but there are only two
or three of them in which the price of
real estate is not as firm to-day as it was
six months ago , ' nnd Omaha is not one
of these. So fur as this city is con
cerned , confidence in its future is
stronger nt this time than it has ever
been before , and for the bttfllclcnt rea
son that all the conditions necessary to
mitko Omaha n great commercial m.c-
tropolis nro seen to bo steadily enlarg
ing. With regard to nil other western
cities comparable with Omaha us nat
ural trade centers there is not the least
probability that they will experience
deterioration. Tbo country tributary
to them must continue to fill up with an
industrious and thrifty people , and so
long as this goes on the cities must con
tinue to prow in business nnd popula
tion. While the gates remain open to
immigration and the west can offer in
ducements to the industrious and thrifty
possessed by no other section of the
country , the foundations of empire that
hnvo been llrinly laid hero will suffer
no impairment.
Knocked Out. .
Combastcs Furioso Humphrey , who
entered the nice for the district judgeship -
ship twenty days ago in the First judic
ial district , has been knocked out nnd
"throws up the spong ' ' just as time
was being called by the.referec. After
making a brilliant and very noisy cam
paign , the valiant captaiir finds himself
winded , and withdraws from the ring.
The bombardment of the BKE was u
little too much for him even nt Jong
range. But in retiring from the arena
the captain delivers a stiiigcr under the
right eye to his running mate "Judge"
Stull by declaring that he could not
hold his nose any longer. Captain
Humphrey boasts of a good constitution
but being tied to a body festering from
head to solo with political corruption ,
was too much even for a man who had
been ueed to the stench of political
graveyards.
The political quacks down in Beatrice
pronounce Humphrey out of his head ,
but there is after all a good deal of
method in his .madness. Humphrey
understood himself bolter than his own
trainers , and ho didn't faro about being
punished and poundedtopieeo3withbal-
ots. Ho who lights and runs away may
ivo to light another day. Ilumpb-
ey's defeat was a foregone conclusion
tfter the revolt raised in the district by
the Bii's : : appeal to honest republicans.
Tlic Wife or Gladstone.
While the world is paying deserved
loner to the greatest of contemporary
GnglishvUitCsmen. it may properly bo
reminded that that distinguished man
.a ' in no small measure indebted to his
wife for much that ho has achieved.
This has not been altogether by reason
of her judicious counsel , though her
mental endowments qualify her to bo au
idvisor oven to so great a man ; nor is
it because of her ambition for fetation
.ind power , though she is doubtless not
worse to these. But it is by reason
of the constant solicitude and tender
care with which she has always guarded
Lhe health of her husband and minis
tered to him in sickness that Mrs. Glad
stone has aided him to the accomplis , ! -
nient of tho-,0 triumphs of states
manship which have placed him
high on the role of the greatest
statesmen the world has produced. Of
Into years Mr. Gladstone has been a
good deal troubled with his throat , and
unusual exertion or exposure produces
results of n , serious character. Refer
ring to his recent attack , a London cor
respondent says "Mrs. Gladstone has
watched over his throat and voice , and
over his health generally , with loving
care that might shame the demonstra
tive solicitude of a lion with one chick. "
When parliament is in session Mrs.
Gladstone is always at the door of the
house of commons at adjournment to
take her great husband straight homo
with her. Her own convenience and
comfort are never in the way of such
continual manifestations of loyal duty
and wifely affection.
Why should it not bo remembered
that there is a "grand old lady" who is
the domestic companion-alt the "grand
old man , " and to whom he isso largely
indebted ? The great Disraeli did not
hesitate to acknowledge his debt to his
wife , and ho has left on record his Foii
of his great obligation in terms as
honorable to him as any act of his life.
Who docs not know the splendid testi
mony that John Stuart Mill bore to the
help his wife gave him in his studies
and labors. 'Among American states
men the elder Adams and Madison were
conspicuous instnirees of those whoso
wives had been both inspirers and aids
to their great husbands in the work of
their lives. The example of such wo
men is always valuable , and it is per
haps more needed in this day of grow
ing social frivolity nnd fashion worship
than over before. No man is bo
strong in himself or so great
that the affectionate care
and thoughtful help of his
wife will not bo of value to him. The
world may bo more largely indebted
than it can ever know to the vigilance
and solicitude of Mrs. Gladstone for the
continuance of that great life in which
is bound up the hopes of a pcoplo and
perhaps the welfare of nn empire.
Hints For Whiter.
The ploosantcbt season of the year in
this latitude Is Indian summor. During
the past week wo have hud as dclightfu'
weather as any day In Juno. But we nro
on the threshold of winter and "tho
cold" will claim our attention for the
next three or four months.
There is nn aphorism which says tha
"heat is life and cold is death. " This is
true only in a limited .degree. The
extreme of.ono is just as deadly as the
extreme of the other. In one souse the
aphorism is untrue. It is nn unquestionable
tionablo fact that moderate coli
is conducive to health. The mor
tality in the heated season
especially among children , is mucl
greater than in winter. Cold hn i
stimulating effect uion the systen
which calls forth life and energy in the
animal machine , while excessive hen
paralyzes themVo associate cold
weather with lusig di&cnses , affections
of the throat , catarrh , etc. , hence the
prejudice against n low temperature
But the fault is not with the weather , 1
lies with our methods of living. Wo
cal ourselves hevnuilU-nlly in hc-nted
oems , breathe viliute'a nir , and when
re step from these hoUhousos into the
open air we pass through a change of
omperature ranging through moro
ban one hundred oV'grVe-sin ft moment.
s it any wondeii that the lung's be-
omo diseased /u tr ing to ad
ust themselves to fetich siiddon
ind extreme clinnges ? They would
vi'eok a machine of Iron.
In the Arctic n.g'yo"i s lung diseases
ire almost unknown , Abundant cold
dr is one of the best S | eelfics known. It
cills many diseases and cures even con-
umption where thhf hns not passed be-
end the stage of remedy. There nro
ihysicians who think the hospitals of
ho future will be ice-houses. Tills may
> c carrying the idea n little too far , but
los-pital improvements nro totting in
.hat direction.
It is better to spend more money
n good , warm clothing and
ess in fuel. The tenuwraturo
of sleeping roonrs .should always
bo moderately cool. Food for winter
should bo substantial , with u good deal
of carbon , for the animal body is a fur-
iiico that needs large quantities of fuel
o keep the temperature at nearly 100
degrees. The idea of hardening chil-
Iren by exposing them to inclement
vonthcr with scanty clothing and insuf
ficient food is simply murderous igno-
nncc. A 'good layer of fat will protect
the system against the cold better than
irtilicial heat.
In the coming winter evenings , when
t will be pleasant to bit by the home
icnrth to engage in reading and recre
ation , don't make your rooms stilling
lot-beds for fatal diseases.

MUP. JANICS Bitovor POTTKI : , who
made her debut before an American au
dience in New York last Monday even
ing , scorns to have made moro of an im-
n-obsion by her costly and elegant cos-
.umcs than by her acting. From u de
scription of her dresses und other foa-
.ures of her toilet itfunn readily be un
derstood that she must ijavo commended
herself most fully to the highly fashion-
'
ible audience , mob o'f which , and the
female portion especially , doubtless had
very little concern , about how she ac
quitted herself in tlio acjting. As to this
there was sonic diversity among the
critics , but on tlio whole she was quite
favorably spoken of , though wo do not
infer from the morq .trustworthy ojiin-
ions that Mrs. Browiotter is likely over
to greatly illumine thoVtnge. In .short ,
were she loss lia.iid.soum and less
wealthy , and withoJt. the society back
ing she enjoys , it isWrtgtxthcr probable
that this new acquisition' to the stage
would bo thought quite commonplace.
But the lady will have brilliant uucccss ,
> o far as audiences go , while her pretty
face and her gorgeous costumes continue
to be attractive , and meanwhile , if she
really is talented , she may develop into
an actress capable of commending at
tention on her merits. It was different
with the great actresses of the past
Charlotte Cushiniin , Eliza Logan , Julia
Dean , and others' . They had to begin
with merit.

DL-IIINO his recent visit to Omaha Gcorgo
Francis Train has very properly Jbccn given
a great deal of credit for what ho did years
ugu towards promoting the building of
the Union Pacitlo und advertising Omaha.
Tlio fulsome praUo which has been bestowed
U | > on him might lead some persons , who
are unacquainted \vUhtho early history of
the Union Pacific , to believe that Mr , Train
furnished the brains and the money to carry
out this great enterprise , and that If it htld
not been for him the road would never have
l een built. Such , however , Is not the fact.
To the late Dr. Tannins C. Uuraut , moro
than to any other man , belongs the credit of
building the Union 1'aciflo railroad.
#
* *
Dr. Durant , wlio had been connected with
the extension of the Missouri & Mississippi ,
now the Chicago ft Hock Island , from Daven
port to Urlnnell , wus nn Indomitable , ener
getic man , with a wonderful executive
power. Ho was n man something after the
style and build of General Sherman , lie was
the first vice president and pt'iicnil mana
ger of the Union Pacific company. Ho it
was who organised victory for
the Union Pacific in its race to the one-hun
dredth meridian. The chaUcr provided that
the rend which should first rcjch that point
should have the right of way s the main line
to a connection with the Cent nil Pucillc. The
latter road was not chactered by congress
but by the California legislature to the boun
dary line of Nevada ; but by its acceptance of
the conditions Imposed by congress upon the
Pacific roads , It became possessed of all the
rights nnd subsidies of those roads. Inci
dentally It may bo stated that because the
Central Pacific was originally chartered by
the legislature of California , Stanford and
Crocker are now opposing any Investigation
on the part of the government Into the af
fairs of that corporation , on the ground that
It 1ms no right to Investigate.
*
* *
When the race for the one-hundredth mer
idian was begun the Kansas PuelhY , under
the management of Samuel Unllctt and T. F.
Oaks , g"ot n big start. In the first place , they
had direct connection with eastern railroads ,
so that they could easily and quickly trans
port their .supplies , material and machinery ,
while the Union Pacific was l.'iO miles from
any railroad connection , and had to bring its
supplies from St. Joe by steamcror by wagon
from Grmncll nnd Hoottc , Iowa , the former
distant 13U miles from Omaha , and the latter
1 SO miles.
*
t #
Durant organized nn immense army of rail
road contractors , and collected vast
quantities of supplies and material around
Oinnlia , covering miles of ground. Ho open
ed tlio campaign in accordance with the plans
of a great general. At the start he had ev
erything to contend with. Tlio heaviest
grades were those lending out of Omaha , and
this necessarily caused great delay nt the
start. By the time the Plutto valley was
reached , the Union Pacific was far behind
the Kansas Pacificin the race , buU when
Durant struck the level country he caused
his enterprise to shoot ahead very rapidlynnd
the icsnlt was that ttio Jnion Pacilie reached
the one hundredth meridian ahead of its com
petitor. This victory gave Durant the right to
construct the cntlro main line
to a connection with the Central
Pacific , which was being rapidly
built eastward. While Stanford was aiming
to making the connection in the vicinity of
Salt Lake , Durant reached that locality first ,
and pushed on beyond it nnd reached Prom
ontory , where ho met the Central Pacific.
The result was that the Central Pacific had
to buy the Union Pacific road from- Promon
tory back to Ogden , nnd Durant dictated his
own terms , us ho was absolute master of the
situation , us well as of the Union Pacific. .
*
Now let us return to Train "for a moment.
Durant , who knew Train's ability-as a
talker , sent him to Omaha to bo present and
make a speech at the formal break ing of
ground for the Union Pacific. Durant
wanted a speech which ho could semi back
cast and excite interest in the enterprise , nnd
ho know Train could make just such u speech
as lie wanted.
*
*
The Credit Mobilier , which furnished the
money for the construction of the Union Pa
cific , had been organized under the laws of
Pennsylvania by a special charter. Dull
Green originally had the charter. Train
bought it of him for 500 , and sold it for
$100,000 to the Credit Mobilier company ,
which was organized subsequently by Du
rant , Hushnell and others.
ft.
* *
The Credit Fonder , organized by Train ,
was a syndicate for the purpose of buying
large tracts of land along the Union Pacific
and developing the country. Several largo
investments wereinadeparUcularly in Omaha
and Columbus.
*
* *
The breaking of ground for the Union Pa
cific , December 2 , lh < V ! , was practically all
Unit was done until the next year. The first
forty miles were not completed until IWG ,
when General Samuel Curtis and General
Simpson , of the United States engineer corps ,
came out to Omaha ns the government com
missioners to inspect nnd accept these forty
miles. As usual Train was on hand and
went out on the excursion with the Inspec
tors.
*
* *
At the close of the civil war General Granville -
ville M. Dodge was made the chief engineer
of the Union Pacific , and became un import
ant factor in everything concerning the con
struction of the road , with General Casement
and II. M. Hoxie as his co-workers.

In ISO" Leland Stanford came to Omaha
and stayed hero for a week , making his
headquarters at the Coz/ens house. At that
time he ex-pressed the belief that the Union
and Central Pacific ought eventually bo made
a four-truck line across the continent
from ocean to ocean two tracks for passen
ger trains and two tracks for freight trafllo
f > o that no two trains should go iu opposite
directions , but one should follow the other.
In this way there would bo no delays nnd no
collisions , and freight could bo moved us
rapidly as passengers. Such n transcontin
ental railway , said lie , would solve the fast
freight problem. If Stanford's four-track
plan had been carried out the pioneer trans
continental line would probably have had no
competitor.

The Liberty Journal has information of n

course will plnco this Judiciary on a better
basis , because it will put bettor men In

Tlio Plntlsmonth Journal sees very little in
the political methods of Senator MandciMon
to admire. His "support of an incompetent
judiciary In the third district because it has

Twenty neighbors of John S. Stull , candi

following : "We , the undersigned , cllin-iis

thoughly unreliable lawyer and totally unfit ,

villo & Fort Kearney railroad bond case , and
we are satisfied ho has betrayed our InUirests

The Lincoln Democrat is not burdened with
admiration for the political railroad attor
ney nnd never throws the opiwrtunlty over

nnd the people are asked to chisp their hands

ficeuro a pure Judiciary. The 7. and and
hypocrisy of the republican iimclilno , mini-
acled to the railroad car , going about un

the providential stock of flaming sulphur was
exhausted in the application to Sodom und
Gomorrah. "
The Kearney Democrat vouches for the
following pedigree of the democratic pnityi
"Our opponents use this term ( the un
washed ) in speaking of the democrutid
party. It is a fuct that poor men constltutti
thoTbulk of the adherents of that party , and
that .silk hats , spike-tailed coats nnd gold
headed canes are not conspicuous in its
ranks. As a general thing the criticism is
correct ; the party is the friend of the plain
man nnd the man who depends upon u
lifo with which elegance of apparel and
fine soft hands , do not comport ; In short the
party is composed principally of men in the
lower walks of life , and Is in sympathy with
this class , and this class find homes within
its portals , and to it this class look for laws
to benefit It. The democratic party wus con
ceived in the aspiral ions of men who had hoi nu
the ages of wrong begotten of conditions in
imical to the poor , and prompt ivo of the tin-
duo ascendency of men who wcro close to
the throne nnd who formed the courts and
bhnpcd the laws of the old world. "
