WHAT affect the rcsiffimliein of Presi \ donl McCewh will bavo on tbo alblcll i fctaneliny of Pincclou ceillego is now i matter of conjecture. TK Don M. Dickinson , of Michigan enters Cleveland's cabinet , there wil bo a stain pod o among the remaining re publicans in the civil service. t j. , THK London populace was doniei admission to Trafalger square bocaus the square belongs to the crown. Bu as the people are supposed in this ccn tury to be the owners of the crown there ) in little ground for dispute as t the right and title of the square. A ST. PAur , judge last week decidei tb.at a contract is void which include wor ! : done on Sunday. If this ruling i valid it cannot fail to have a far-reach ing effect upon enterprises includini Sunday work in that state. It would b especially hard on Sunday papers. . FORTY tramps struck for more tobacc in a city workhouse in Pcnnsylvani the other day. The authorities struc ! back by cutting oft the food supply. I this kind of contest should bccom general and last for a week or so , th tramp problem would bo olToctuall solved. HOUTANOKR returns to Paris at critical moment. lie takes the route c Napoleon , and ho finds , as did the Coi sican , the populace greatly dissatisfied But Boulaiifror is not iv Napoleon , however over fondly ho may imagine so , and th republic of Franco will doubtless sui vive his visit. SHVKUAr , of the thoroughfares of th city are in a condition to become in ; passable in case of a heavy rain. A this season of the year all street in provcmonts should bo pushed tocomplc tion with the least posblblu delay. Th present fine weather cannot bo relie upon to continue. TllK suppression by the London px lice of a mob of 400,000 men bent o freely speaking their minds as to th government's Irish policy gave grei satisfaction to the government Sunday But the prevention of this same mat meeting in that manner guvo a grei impulse to the Irish cause. IM I THK production ot fuel gas for mam 1 facturing and heating purposes hr boon demonstrated to bo practicable The question of economy is the mo : important in determining to what e : tent it will bo employed. It is the hor. of some manufacturing localities neat at a disadvantage in competition wil thobo having natural gas , that in tiui fuel gas will bo manufactured at a pric to compete with the natural produe The progress of the project for buppl ; ing Omaha with fuel gas for manufai turing and heating will be watched wit interest. IT turns out that the Fifth Nation ! bank of St. Louis , recently collapsei was exclusively managed by the pros dent and cashier.

To place largo sums of money i the exclusive control of one or two po sons will , in most cases , prove too grci a strain upon their hnncaly. Thoi must be reform in banking methods.

Another Boon For Omnlm , The last move of the Northwester railway company gives Omaha frolgh 'ncllltics second to none. Thatcompati will at once commence running froigh trains into this city direct from Chicago cage , saving thirty-six hours as compat ed with all schedules heretofore prosenl cd. The Missouri river Is to bo crow at Blair , and trains will enter this cit over the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapoli & . Omaha track. Fast freight lines have proved price ess factors in the commercial > vorlil Thirty-six hours saved in transportalio means money made for both buyer an seller. It means that goods ehippo ! rom Chicago will bo In Omaha with ! forty-olght hours lessening the risk on perishable goodsbrlnging quicker re ; urns on all shipments. It will muk this city a bettor wholesale market ani jlvo to us advantages never before pos scs'ed. While- the Northwestern is the fir.- ; o introduce this important change , it 'ast trains cannot occupy the field alone All roads leading to Omaha from Chi cngo will now be obliged to compete i speed as lime saved is always mono earned. The long and apparently needless dc lays of freight at Council Bluffs , awnfl ng transfer , will hereafter bo avoided The merchant nnd consumer can congratulate gratulato one another , while the whol city rejoices at the enterprise of th S'orthwestorn road. Sparks AVI11 Tight. It is said that Commissioner Sparli docs not propose to surrender his olTk without a vigorous effort to justify th position ho has taken. Even though th president should sustain the secretary and thus far there is no intimation ( what he may do , the commissioner wi respond to the arrogant phillipic of Mi Lamar , and the public will be permitte to know the nature of the response. ] is to be expected that Mr. Sparks wi appear somewhat at a disadvantage ! to the literary nicrils of his reply , hi he has an opportunity to impart to Mi Lamar seine pointed instruction in 111 way of official propriety and the cour csy due from one public officer to at other which if it should fail to imprc : the individual addressed migl have a wholesome influence clsi whore. It seems that bolh propriel and courtesy wore violated by Mr. Lt mar in innkincr public his letter almo : as soon as it could have reached th commissioner , thus showing his grei anxiety to have the country undorolaii that there was a breach between hin self and the commissioner which woul necessitate the retirement from office < one of them. A proper respect for th president , to whom the alternative < choosing which of these officials shoul remain , was to bo submitted , require that this correspondence should ntlcas not have gone to the public in ad ran c of the president being made acquaintc with the issue and given a chance 1 pass upon it. The course pursued b Mr. Lamar must necessarily cmbarnu the president , nnd it may not I unfair to infer that it was di signed to force him to a d < cision favorable to the secretary. Tli palpable fact is that Mr. Lamar had d < termined to crush Sparks if possibl and adopted what ho deemed o bo tli most cffcclivo method to that end , ri gardlcss of all other considerations. As the controversy now stands , publ ! opinion is unquestionably most largcl with the commissioner. Theroisagci oral feeling thai he has faithfully li bored to perform his duties with a a pu pose binglo to the interests of the go' eminent and the people , battling conlii ually against all sorts of obstruction an a formidable and unscrupulous oppos tion within and without the dopartmon The quarrel has doubtless given grei satisfaction to every rascal who unhu fully holds possession of ipart i the public domain and every corporation that clain more of that domain than it has a ju right to , who will be found heartilysvi ] porting the position of Mr. Lamar. Bi the great majority of the people view with displeasure as a deliberate altcni ] to drive from position an honest ai ; faithful official who has stood firmly i defense of their interests. It reman to bo scon whether President Clcvclai : will permit the sacrifice of such an o fieinl , regardless of popular sontimen to gratify the hostility of an individu whose success would give new heart ai hope to all who are opposed to the i > eli < which the president himself has a proved , and which his. friends claim be a shining mqritof his administrate 1'olUicnl Forecasts. The Now York World of last Fridn printed sevoial columns or oplnioi from politicians and editors of bol parlies regarding Iho bearing of 11 late olcctionsand more particularly th in New York , on the chances of tl nomination of Cleveland and Blaine I the democratic and republican coi volitions next year. The oxprossit was unanimous that Cleveland will 1 rcnomiunted , atrd doubtless as to th there is not an intelligent man in tl country who entertains a doubt. If tl president desires rcnomination , which there is also no question , ho wi receive it without encountering tl slightest opposition. With regard whether Mr. Bluino would bo the mo available man to lead the ropublicai there is a division of opinions , then tv majority of those from r publican sources nro favorab to his again being mode the stnnda : bearer of the party. Some of thos however , indicate the existence of misgiving regarding the result , ov < with their favorite candidate. The who think Mr. Blaine ought not to 1 again placed in leadership very po < lively express the opinion that his hoi ination would render the cause of tl party hopeless. It has been stated 1 those supposed to bo very cloao in ll confidence of Mr. Blaine that his a cepiuuco of a nomination would bo co tlugunt on a spontaneous movement the party , making his selection one practical unanimity. If this is Iho u alterable decision of Mr. Blaine seems not improbable thai he will ha lo withdraw as a candidate. It , is qni evident thai the spontaneous moveuio he requires as a prerequisite to accop anco will not he realized. The fact should bo clearly soon an candidly admitted by nil ropublirnt that the last campaign in Now York wt conducted by the party managers quit ns much in the interest ot Mr. Blnlne t in any other interest. The chief i those nmnngora , ex-Senator Plait , well Itnown to prefer Mr. Blaine as presidential candidate , nnd very likcl all of his associates in the mnnngemcr of the campaign wcro in sympathy wil him. There is not a reasonable groun of doubt that had the election gone i favor of the republicans it would ha\ boon turned to the fullest possible ai count by the supporters Mr. Blair throughout the country. It would hti\ been regarded as a victory in the ii torc.st of Blaine nnd held to imply demand for his nomination wlilc the parly could not Bafely rojcc No effort would have boon rani to conceal the fact that such was tl cardinal object of the campaign. Win must then bo Iho fair conclusion fro : defeat 1 Obviously that Mr. Blaine cai not bo regarded as a safe candidate i far as New York is concerned , and will out that state the republican party en have no hope of success next year. It idle to dwell upon what might happc that would enable the party to win will out Now York. That is unmifctaknb' Iho pivotal slnto , nnd all the probabil tics are that the party which carries will secure the next president. The 01 question to bo determined by the ropu' lican party therefore is , who amor available candidates would bo mo likely to carry New York , would seem that so far as Mr. Blnino concerned the question is alreat fcottled against him. When Satan Quotes Scripture. The president of an eastern coal coi pany has had himself interviewed by r admiring Now York paper. Among tl many crushing truths contained in h statement is this extract : "Every tlmo tlicio is any difficulty in g < ting coal the coal companies are attacked monopolists , and , I think , without rcasc There is not another commodity necessary the public that is not speculated ia and tl people inndo lo pay all sorts of prices com quent upon the operation of the spcuulatoi \Vo do not raise the prices in case of a lar ; demand and sntall supply , yet wo are t tacked. The price tills year is about tl s.imo as last year , niul the retail price is n high. " "Attacked as monopolists witho1 reason ! " Shades of Captain Kiddl Tl monopolistic coal barons of the cast ai of the west comprise ono of the mo daring bands of thieves and plundere in existence. To-day in the Lohig valley the miners the men wl have made it possible for co companies to grow dangerously rich would bo starving were it not for the organized knighthood. Those mim are shut down and unworked , with coal famine staring the people in tl face , only because the minors asked fi a slight raise above the niggardly pi tanco allowed them for long hours work. In the west , in Nebraska as well as : Iowa , Colorado and Wyoming , ruilwt monopolists own and control all tl mines of coal. They pay the man wl digs ii , a more bong , they haul it ov < and through states , charging the Ban price at a station two hundred mil from the mine that they charge fo > hundred miles further on. And y they nro not monopolists. Oh , n They are common highwaymen. Protect the Laboring Man. The bane of the laboring man's exit once to-day , seems to bo the catc penny employment agencies. Chei and irresponsible adventurers cstabli : an "agency" by placing a sign abe their door , "Laborers Wanted. " D serving poor men who are in quest work are allured by glaring figures chalk , lo the offccl that from " $4 to per day1' are paid for certain kinds labor , "enquire within. " A commi sion of $2 or $3 is charged the in a and ho goes lo accept the situationwin he finds that ho has been deceived robbed by an unscrupulous scamp wl never was an agent and who never ga employment to any one. Some ft cases of this kind have boon reported Omaha. In many cities employment ngcnei arc regulated by the authorities , ai the laborer accordingly protected. Denver a license is issued lo Iho persi conducling Iho agency and a bond givi in Hie sum of $2,000 before any businc can be transacted. The license fee $100 , and Iho ordinance provides th Sol ) shall bo forfeited for any violatii of law or imposition on the customoi There are several respectable ngcnei in Omaha , and they are willing lo pi a license. Our city council should pa an ordinance at once regulating Hi mailer. The winter is coming1 on , ai many persons will bo seeking work , is tin outrage thai they should bo ii posed upon by irresponsible partic Employment agencies able tome their obligations are desirable instit lions , and they have always proven great benefit to wage-workers. / other kind should bo drummed out the community. A New System of Voting. The inoveuienl in Now York City extend the slate control of elections well started. It is proposed that tl ballots used al clucllons be printed ai distributed at the state expense. In New York City there -is cspccl need of reform. There the booth stern torn is in vogue. A voter approach ! ) the polling place finds a do/en litl wooden houses placed along Ihe cur Upon Iheso are large placards tumour ing Iho parly or candidate supply ! : the booths. Having read the planar and selected his booth , the voter n preaches a lilllo window and as lickots of the man wilbin. He is giv a bunuh ready for cabling and fasten together with an olalic. . Usually 1 hands these to Iho judge of olectio without inspecting them and i lows him to put them in the bo\i It is a notorious fact that thi men within Iho booth frequent change politics without taking t Irouble lo make a correspond in gob an in Ihe placards on Iho bo'olh and t voter ib deceived. When wo consld that the vast majority of voters ill Now York vote according to the placards without paying any attention whatovei to the ballots , and when wo rcmcmbci thai Ihe size of the majority in No\i York city may dotctmino the chnrnctci of the national administration , the importance portanco of the reform becomes evident The law asked for Is to provide for UK printing at state expense of all the names of the candidates for each ofilci or class of offices , as ward , municipal county , district , or st.ito , on ono slip o paper , properly numbered from OIK up and bound in books. Thes ( books are beld at the polls bi officials who , ns Iho voter approaches tear off one slip nnd present it to him writing his naino at the same time ot the stub bearing the same number ai the ticket. Ho then marks an X before each candidate for whom ho wishei to vote. While ho is doing this no on < is allowed to approach him , but if IK can not rend the judges are empowered to prepare hie ballot for him. That this syslom would bo of great benefit to tin honest voter there can bo no doubt. 1 would certainly bring ruin upon tin roustabouts and professional ticket peddlers - dlors , and it will doubtless receive theii hearty and unanimous opposition. THE departure Sunday evening of UK first fast train over the Union Pacific road under the now arrangement , bj which the lime between Omaha ant San Francisco will bo reduced to scv cnty-ono hours , marked an impojtan stop in the progress of transcontinenta travel. In inaugurating this rcduclior of time Iho Union Pacific has , wo be licvo , anticipated similar action pro posed by the Central Pacific , and prob ably intended by all Iho transcontinental lines. Of course , sooner or later , al will have to reduce time or abandoi competition. This step forward is ii rcsponso to an urgent demand foi speedier travel , which the roads have seen it to bo their interest to meet. I is the beginning of a policy which wil lead to the further culling down of UK time schedule between Now York am San Francisco until the reductioi reaches the limit of practicability. Tnn people have approved the pro posed issue of bonds to the amount o two hundred thousand dollars to buj school sites and build now school houses Additional school facilities are ncoded but the BEK has already questioned UK wisdom of the plan understood lo bo ii contemplnlion for'providing ' Ihcso facil ilies. The money to bo expended foi this purpose must bo used with UK greatest care and circumspection , s < that no part of it shall bo misapplied 01 wasted , and the aggregate result shal meet present requirements and be o permanent value. There is a very con sidorablc margin for mistakes , nnd the exercise of the best judgment will b ( required to avoid them. Tun movement to secure the naliona republican convention for Omaha ii now well organized , and should bo vig orously pushed until the national com mitleo mecls in Washington nox month. The efforts of Iho executive committee will bo very much stimulutcc and helped if there is a prompt unc generous response to the call for sub scriptions lo defray Iho expenses of Ihi convention. A considerable sum wil bo required , but if the convention i secured the city will get back thi amount several times. If Omaha fail to get the convention there should be some other than a financial rcasoi therefor.
