The triumphant election by sweeping
maoritlcs | of the non-partlaan Judiciary
ticket in this district registers the popu
lar protest against the roustabouts and
their methods. It will' probably bo n
long time before another attempt is
mmlo to put upon the bench of this dis
trict men who are notoriously unfit for
such n position and who lack
the confidence of the people ,
which every judge should have.
The rebuke administered to the reck
less party hacks who imagined that
they could whip decent republicans into
line nnd force the election of dangerous
men nud incompetents to the judichil
positions in this district could not well
bo more emphatic. It teaches n lesson
which wo hope will not soon bo forgot
ten. It is a rcmonslrtinco which pru
dent leaders must heed , nnd which as
piring roustabouts will long remember.
The mere fact that the republicans are
in a majority In this county and
district affords no guarantee oj
an election unless the clean
nnd competent candidates arc
nominated. This is by no means the
first time that the best elements of the
party have repudiated the work of n
nominating convention. These periodic
revolts are the safety valve against
the dangerous overpressure exerted by
the party machine in the hands of un
principled men. The BEK heartily con
gratulates the people of the Third dis
trict upon their deliverance from a
roustabout judiciary and the election of
men who are entitled to their confidence
and esteem.
A ni'llllunt Political
The local political fight in New York
City was one of the most brilliant politi
cal battles over witnessed. The chief
point of interest was the district attor-
ncyship , an office of vast importance , aa
the conclusion of the case against Jacob
Sharp , charged with bribing the alder
men , was involved. Two candidates
presented themselves , both democrats ,
and both assistants under the present
district attorney , Marline. Col. John
11. Fellows , the joint nominee- Tam
many and the county democracy , was
the orator of the boodle trials. Ho made
the final pleas before the juries In flvo of
the six trials , and In four of thorn se
cured a conviction. Delancey Nicoll ,
his opponent , has had sole charge of the
boodle cases and the work of prepare-
Lion und presentation of evidence , se
lecting juries and arguing pointslin law
lias been his. The impression obtained
ihat the case against Sharp now before
the court of appeals was to bo dropped ,
and that Fellows was chosen to do the
work. The republicans on the strength
of this impression took up the cause ol
young Nicoll , a candidate for the dem
ocratic nomination , and placed him on
the republican ticket. A cross fight of
unusual bitterness immediately arose ,
the mugwumps joining in to support
Nicoll. The New York World was es
pecially severe in its criticisms upon
Fellows , and he was charged with being
a dead-beat , with unsatisfied judgments
of over $10,000 standing against him.
His sympathy and connection with the
exiled boodlurs in Canada was shown ,
and fac similes of correspondence dated
fourteen years ago between him nnd
Tweed was shown. Against these
damaging attacks Colonel Fellows stood
up manfully und with honeyed orator }
explained them all away. Nevertheless
the democracy , with a clear working
majority in the city of fifty thousand
was alarmed for the candidate , and
Mayor Hewitt wrote nn urgent appeal
making Colonel Fellows' cause his own
praying the democracy to stand to
gether for the sake of the state ticket
and national administration. At UK
eleventh hour President Cleveland was
induced to write a letter endorsing the
whole ticket and with a special request
that Follows bo elected. The fight became
came desperate for Fellows , a poor man
nnd fifty-seven years of ago. Without t
law practice , defeat under such charge :
meant poverty and disgrace for himsel
and family. Nor could his party wel
stand defeat for this powerful official
Nicoll , although a young man am
exceedingly brilliant , stood in UK
position of a bolter after going to tlu
convention of his party us a can
dSdtxte and defeat for him meant hi ;
political death. The World with its on
ormouB circulation nnd the Times wit ! :
its mugwump following wore also in th <
balance , the former alienating itsol
forever from the local democracy ant
the latter cutting itself off from Cleveland
land and the administration. For thcsi
two papers Nicoll's success was of tin
greatest importance. Both forces hat
exhausted their resources in behalf o
their candidates and money was usedoi
both sides without stint. As a rcsul
Fellows is elected by a handsome major
ity. Nicoll receives 10,000 votes mon
than were given to Grant , nnd tin
George candidate for the district attor
noyship falls behind his ticket 10,00 *
votes.
The Ilctmlt In Ohio. '
It has never been seriously double *
that the republican ticket in Ohi <
would bo successful. The democrat
wore heavily Imndlcapod by the vor ;
bad record which the party had mad !
during the past throe or four years
Frauds at the ballot box , corruption ii
the legislature , extravagance In admin
lull-alien which bankrupted the slat
treasury , and the prostitution of the supreme
promo court to partisan purposes , mail
a load that no party could carry will
any hope of success In a state whos
voters read and are of average intolli
gonco. The effort of the democrat !
leaders to divert attention from the sin
of the party nnd run cho campaign 01
national issues was neither success
ful nor profitable. The pec
pie could not forgot the record
nnd in the discussion o
national issues there were several im
portnnt respects in which the democrat
wore at ft disadvantage. Not the leas
of these was the advanced position the ,
took on the tariff question , which
however admirable as an example c
courage dissatisfied a great many dome
crats who are as ardent believers In prc
toction as are the republicans of Ohic
Neither was it wise to avowedly mak
the fight in the interest of the nations
admlnlstratpn , which was done when th
democratic- candidate for governor wn
nominated and nuule more distinctly ai
parent 09 the campaign advanced. II
forced an issue that ought to have boor
rOoorvcd for a-yoar Inter nnd compelled
the republicans of Ohio to record thoii
verdict on the presidential question
tion twelve months In advance. It
happened that circumstances oc
curred to imbue them with a spccln' '
hostility to the administration which
had a year been allowed to intervene
might hare proved less effective. As
It is , Ohio can with entire safety be
placed in the republican column foi
1888 , whatever may arlso meanwhile. .
It was nn unfortunalo move for the clem
ocrats in importing the governor o ;
Georgia , fresh from praising and honor
ing the chief of the confederacy , 1 <
take part in their campaign. 1'lierc
wore other blunders , but those wo have
cited , added to the burden of its manj
sins , wore sufficient to defeat Iho parly
and the wonder is that the republlear
majority is not much larger.
The personal effect of the republican
victory in Ohio will very likely bo tc
strengthen Governor Foriikcr in the
good opinion of the party generally. It
cannot be denied that ho made t
gallant aggressive campaign , and ha :
demonstrated that ho is a politician ol
miud'tind mottle , qualifications essen
tial to n leader. IIo is to some extent
pardonable for the sectional controvcrsj
that became so prominent u feature ol
the campaign , since Iho democratic
plan provoked it. But it is to bo said
that Mr. Forakcr is rather too fond ot
this line of discussion , in which ho it
undoubtedly at his best , and for this
reason is not the ina'n to bo pushed ftn
to the front as representing1 the spiril
and sentiment of the republican part.\
as a whole. Ho has very warm admir
ers who will probably endeavor to rti
this , and it will be well to servo limel }
notice upon them that the republicans
of the country , at least outaldo of Ohio
are not expecting and do not desire that
the presidential campaign nhtill bo rut
on the Ohio model. Nevertheless Mr ,
Forakor is likely to bo something more
of a figure in the party councils than he
has been , and in the proper place will
undoubtedly render good service.
Of Great Benefit to Omaha.
The opening of the Armour packing
house nt South Omaha ycslerdny is at :
event of great interest to the people o :
this city. One thousand hogs wore
slaughtered the first day , but this num
ber is by no means the full capacity o ;
the concern. By reason of the concen
tralion of the leading packing concern !
in South Omaha this city has become
for this section ft better hog market
than Chicago. The opening of UK
Armour house , which will now continue
to slaughter from 1,000 to 5,000 hog ;
daily during the season , establishes theme
homo market that cannot possibly be
excelled. Within a few days the Swift
establishment , fully as largo as the
Armour house , will be opened , and the
local demand for hogs will bo materially
increased. This will remove the ilifli
cnlty under which buyers nnd sellers at
South Omaha have labored thi
ruling of Kansas City aud Chicagt
pi-ices for live stock and the consc
quent fluctuations dependent on the receipts
c-eipts nt the South Omaha yards in ex
cess of the demand at the local packing
houses. A stiffening of prices has nl
ready been noticed as a result of th (
work of Armour's buyers. This gives s
character to the Omaha stock tunrku'
that draws attention hither of all deal
ers and producers in Nebraska and west
crn Iowa.
Representatives of the Swift and Ar
mour concerns hnvo given assur
anccs to the Stockman , the orgai
of the packing interests at Soutl
Omaha , that preparations are nov
being made for the slaughter of cattli
on a largo scale. This , of course , wil
put the cattle market at South Onuihi
on as substantial a footing ns thai upoi
which the hog market is to rest. Onuihi
has heretofore been powerless to in flu
once the catllo market and Iho produc
of Ihis section has been dependent upoi
the lluctunlions at Chicago and Knnsa
City. With a strong demand fron
these lo two enormous packing houses
Omaha'slive stock markets will bo o
far greater importance to this sectioi
than those of either Kansas City o
Chicago.
Tlio United Ktatet * Senate.
It seem * to bo very probable that Mr
Riddloborgo. . of Virginia , will bo sue
ceeded in the United States senate by
democrat. His term will expire Marcl
3 , 1839. As the two parties now stand ii
the senate the republicans have U9 am
the democrats 37 , classing Riddlobergc
as a republican. Ho has exhibited in
dependent tendencies , however , whicl
make him uncertain , and ho may al an
time make a tie by voting with th
democrats. Whether ho will bo mon
or less likely to do this by reason of th
result of the election in Virginia it i
difficult lo say. A democratic succosso
to the Virginia senator will not chang
the relative strength of the two partic
in Iho senate if , as now appears prob *
bio , the republicans have secured a nu
jority in the Now Jersey Icgislatui
und will thus be enabled to elect a re
publican successor to J. R. McPhcrsoi
whoso term will expire in 1839. It i
not improbable , however , that the claii
of David S. Turpio to the scat of Senate
Harrison , of Indiana , will bo ilisallowut
in which case the republicans would hav
a majority of twowilhoulRiddloborgoi
Of Iho other senators whoso terms wi
expire iu 1889 nil will undoubtedly I
succeeded by mon of like politics ,
thai the present political complexio
of the United States senate will pro !
ably not bo changed during the no
four years. It is perhaps not unfortut
nto that the two political parties are t
nearly evenly divided in the senalo , hi
il is a misfortune that a man so crratii
unreliable and generally wrong-headc
as Riddlobergor should have it in h
power to tip that body and thereby r <
tard and embarrass .business , or pcrha ]
work mischief.
Tlio Hanncr Ward.
The Fourth ward has for years bee
the banner ward of republicanism i
Omaha. Populated nlmo.st entirely I
business mou nnd the be t class of 01
citizens its expression through the ba
lot box affoi-Js a reliable index of tli
sontimonl , of Iho reputable and intoll
gent element of Iho community. The
banner warel has been hoard from andii
Hpoko with no uncertain sound *
Judge Maxwell , who represents the
party sentiment of the ward , received
033 votes for supreme judge , ngninst 492
for the democratic candidate. In other
words , the republican majority of the
Fourth ward on supreme judge was 439.
Contrast with this the vote for district
judges. The banner ward gave Estollo
only 425 votes and Ballou only 371 , while
of their competitors Wakoloy received
1,135 , Graff 5,081 , and Doano 1,043.
Just think of111 A republican
\vnrd ' which gave Judge Maxwell
430 majority gave Wakoloy 710 majority
over JMollo and 7fll over Ballou , whilu
Groff benta Ealollo G5G nnd Ballou 707 ,
and Dpano' , .who was represented aa
awfully unpopular , beats Estollo 013and
Ballou by GG9. The banner republican
waril gave Frank Mooros 093 votes , or n
cl9an majority of 659 over his demo
cratic opponent , while Dave Mercer , for
county judge , only received 603 votes
altogether and was beaten by Shields ,
democrat , by 310. This is the most
scathing rebuke that how over been ad
ministered in this stnto. It is a procla
mation by the reputable element of the
party thai only clean and compelent
candidates can count011 its support.
THE interference of the president in
the Massachusetts campaign appears to
have been less effective than was his
intermcddlincr in New York. There
was great joy in the democralic camji
of Hie Bay stale when the information
was communicated that Mr. Cleveland
endorsed the stnto ticket and desired it < :
Oioclion. The disaffected ceased their
complaining and those who were satis
fied became sanguine of success. It was
believed the expression of Iho president
would at once draw into line the mug
wump vole , which with the Butler con
tingent was thoughl tomaketheoutlool <
for the democracy entirely horonc. II
is now evident , however , that a serious
miscalculation was made somewhere ,
and very likely it was with regard to
those somewhat troublesome and uncer
tain fellowstho mugwumps. liven a presi
dential endorsement could not induce
them to accept Levering , and it may ap
pear when the figures are all in that
there were a good many democrats who
felt Ihc same way. Democratic politics
in Massachusetts has been somewhat de
moralized , and maybe more so since
Tuesday's defeat , yet with Cleveland at
the candidate next year the republicans
would be surer of some other sUilcs than
of Massachusetts.
TITE state of Now Hampshire lin | coinc
tardily into line with the states whicl :
have laws to prevent and punish bribery
or corruption , and this cannot bo ex
plained on the ground that there Ini1
been no demand for such a law. How
ever , the legislature finally grasped
the situation nnd passed a lav
which provides11- thai whoever at
tempts lo corruptly influence an oxecu

the legislature , shall bo punished by im
prisonment not exceeding five years ni
a fine not exceeding $3,000 , and whocvci

be forever disqualified for holdingollicc

Such a law ought to insure New Hump

Wales propose to abolish the sliding scalcby
which 00,000 miners have been paid for ten
years. During the past three years $15,000-
000 or its equivalent , has been expended by
English mechanics , colliers nnd cotton spin
ners in paying the cost of strikes.
On account of the rapid expansion of our
manufacturing capacity the machine shops
of the country continue to be exceedingly
busy , and us a consequence prices have begun
to move up. This is welcome news to ma-
cliinemnkers , as for yearn past they have
been doing work on very narrow margins.

NKW YORK , Nov. 9. [ Correspondence
of Iho Br.B. ] Thcro nro aboul 60,000
telegraph operators in this country.
Their wages have declined 10 or 15 per
cent within the last flvo years. They
wore paid beat before Iho slriko. In
Iho Western Union Iho standard salary
Ihcn was $90. First class operators got
$85 and 895 per monlh. After Iho strike
operators who received those salaries got
$75. A year afterward the standard
was made $80. Later $90 nnd $93 was
paid to old first class operators ; after
which the decline wasjoncral | , to the
present rate. The btWdard is still SSO.
A few old hands get moro. No new
operator docs. Very many receive
loss. Salaries range from $35 to $75 or
$80 as a rule for mon. The range for wo
men is from $35 to S50. They never
receive men's wages. In some few
coses , however , women can do men's
work in full. Her work in general com
pares bettor with man's work than her
j > ny with man's pay , in telegraphy.
Wore her work exactly on a par with
man's , she would not get the bnmo wa
ges. A telegraph olllcial expresses it :
"When we have to pay men's wages to
women , wo will putinon in their places. "
Thesro is a dUposilion on Iho part of
telegraph companies to biro womenand
if in all cases the laltor wore equal to
the demands of the business , they would
bo employed perhaps exclusively.
MAU5 Ol'KUATOUS
say that in gen oral Iho labor is too
heavy and too steady for women , anil
that women do not succeed ns well as
man on long circuit work. Hero the
tax on patience. nerves and
coolness is better borne by
men , it is said. Nighl worlc again is
endured by men belter than women. In
the mutter of discipline there is no dif
ference ; women working as steadily and
industriously as men. The LJalti'moro
and Ohio company employed women in
greater proportions than the Western
Union ; never paying more than $50 per
month. In the li'eavy days' work of the
Haltimoro and Ohio Company some of
the women operators would send from
350 to 400 messages daily. This is a big
day's work for a mail. The hours of
work arc cighl for the day nnd seven
for night. First-china operators under
pressure can send 500 messages , nggre-
galing aboul 5,000yords , in these hows.
This is very exceptional. Four hundred
messages nro a big day's work ; 350 n
good one. Three hundred uro nearer
Iho average. Women in the
telegraph employ are in most cases
unmarried. It is said that they marry off
but slowly. They sire generally young
and comely , loo. They are perhaps the
handboinesldivision of women employes ,
The percenlago of women operators in
Now York city is about 80 , oulsido of
New York it is less.
Thcro are several insurance und mu
tual
IIKNUriT OIIOAXIZATIONS
among the telegraph opuralors , They
are local with one exception. The tele
graphers' Mutual benefit association ,
which is general , has its ofllco in Now
York city nnd a membership over all
parts of the world. The ago of oligibil-
ily to admission is from 18 to 45 years.
Tlio initiation fee is $2 , and the sum
paid to bcnofieiaries of deceased mem
bers is $1,000 per person deceased.
Upon the death of a member in good
standing an assessment of from $1 to $12 ,
according to age of entry , is made upon
the survivors. The number of mom-
bora of this association in round
numbers is 8,800 , and the reserve -
servo fund for 18S7 , is $04,000.
This is accumulated by a calcula
tion of U per cent of the entire amount of
insurance provided by the association.
M,000 of this fund is held by the
Western Union Telegraph company as
trustee , and the balauco by a trust com
pany selected by the association's cx-
ocutivo committee.
In New York City there is the Tele
graphers' Aid society , with an initia
tion fee of $1 for any operator ; dues
fifty cents per month. This society pays
$ S per week to n member in case of
yiukness _ and $75 in case of death , to his
bonelie-iarics. There are about five
hundred monibers. The ofllcors are all
Western Union employes.
Another is the Gold and Stock Lifo
Insurance association with about four
hundred members , The duos are fifty
cunts per month , and tlio benefit in $ UOO
payable in twelve months at $50 [ > er
month. Another is a building associa
tion and waving institution , and finally ,
in some respects most important , is the
Brotherhood of Telegraphers ,
A SECItKT OUOANI7.ATIOK
connected with the Knights of Labor.
Its members have nothing to impart
concerning it to disinterested inquirers.
Those who are not members have no
further knowledge of it than is to bo in
ferred from its association with the
Knights. The per centago of women in
the Telegrapher's Mutual Benefit asso
ciation is in the neighborhood of five
per cent. Their percentage in the Tol-
c-grapher's Aid society , which gives as
sistance in cases of sickness , is much
larger about Si5 per cent.
There are few old telegraphers.
Operators are anxious to quit the biibi-
ncbs which nllbrdy good pay for a young
man but poor for elders and holds no fu
ture. Tlio operator of twenty or twenty-
live earns as good pay at ho can expect
at llfty. Many drop out of the largo offices
"
fices continually. They become
stenographers go to the brokers'
oflicc.s on the private tickers
and remain in the brokers' business ; or
they enter the newspaper connection
and innumerable others in similar man
ner. Baltimore & Ohio opornlor.s were
mostly recruits from Western Union.

was an enlistment of the imaginative

in the competitions of the companies.
The freights of the Baltimore & Ohio
company against Western Union were
entered into withfrco will by the Baltimore
morek Ohio employes , who often won
the battle for their employers.
On the 1st of November of this year

Cincinnati Commcrclul-OiizoUo : The
word boodle has gone Into tlio United
States language. 1'untorn newspapers ,
oven those of Boston , use il without
quotation marks. Wo believe the word
originally npponrod in the Cominorclnl-
Gazolto in a report of the great Amer
ican Express robbery in Cincinnati
several years ago. Ono Sunday after
noon n ono-horso wagon was driven up
to the otllco on Unco street , a small iron
traveling safe loaded on and taken neross
the river into Kentucky and rilled.
Larry Ilnzon. the famous old detective ,
was employed by the express company
to work up the case and ho succeeded iu
recovering most of the money. When
mot by a reporter al Iho police station ,
after the lucky capture , Ha/en throw
up his bunds in happy mood nnd exclaimed -
claimed : "Wo'vo got the boodle I"
The word was afterward used to denote
money nsod for dishonest purposes in
local polities , and disi-epuUiblo polltieniH
in the city and state came to bo known
us "boodlers" and their party us the
" boodle party. " The word is spread in
usage and is now common throughout
the country.
An article of household utility , which
is not only elegant and artistic , but
economical , deserves mention. It is
with pleasure that we call the- attention
of our readers to the "Garland Stoves
