IT is R poor stuto tlmt 1ms not got its
"fnvorlto BOH" for president. Nebraska
should not lese sight of this.
Tin : dehorning of cnttlo ia ns yet nn
cxporimont. But the dehorning of po
litical aspirnnUi goes merrily on.
TIII8 mny bo n poor year for railroad

politics. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TUB amusement for the convention
was supplied chiefly by that talented
comedian , Pat O. Hawes. Ho seemed to
bo in his normal condition.
Mil. GUULKY'S eloquence was not of
a very brilliant order Tuesday evening ,
but there is nothing to inspire a man in
the performance of a merely perfunctory
tusk.
Tin : surviving members of Quantroll's
guerilla band held a reunion at Blue
Springs , Mo. , the other day. And still
it is claimed , that the democratic cam
paign down Bouth has not boon formally
opened. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
GKNEIIAI , ATTOUNEY THUUSTOK got
through by a safe majority , but his vote
was largely behind that of Egan and
Norval , showing there were some men
in the convention who had the courage
to reject the Union Pacific dose.
DlSLKOATE I. S. HASCALIi , of Douglas -
las , endeavored to play bell-wether in
the convention : But his olTorts to create
a laugh over the masterly resolutions
road by ox-Scmitor Van Wyck fell flat.
Ho was promptly and effectually
snubbed by Chairman Ncsbitt.
THE' masterly speech of Judge
Crounso , of Washington , made tlio rail
road crowd wince under his sarcasm
and unanswerable truths. With solemn
dignity ho warned them of the "Ides of
November , " when the people will sit in
judgment upon the work of the conven
tion.
THIS market gardeners have bestirred
themselves in tin effort to secure the
long wished for market house. If the
butchers and dairymen join with them
in pushing forward the project and in
adopting a feasible plan , capitalists will
stop forward to furnish the necessary
funds for a first-class public market.
DAB a compliment to the male sex the
equal rights party consented finally to
put Alfred II. Love for vice president
on the ticket nominating Dolva A.
Lockwood for president of the United
States. Women and love have proved
such a winning combination , that Belva
and Love nro expected to sweep in
everything , including old maids , next
full.
BY old and thoughtful ropublicans.tho
action of the stnto convention in ignor
ing the resolution offered by Van Wyck
inuat bo condemned. The fact of a
man who has been strong and promi
nent in the republican parly for more
than thirty years being insulted by a
few hoodlums scarcely out of their
swaddling clothes , certainly adds no
strength to the party.
IK spite ot the croaking of railroads
that the intcr-Bluta laws and etato laws
ImvQ affected their earnings , the April
reports for 1888 of 100 rail
roads show nn increase over last
year of $742,230 on an increased mlloago
of 8,202 iniloa. For the first week of
May the earnings of twenty-eight roada
wore 82,4iM,8 7 , ns against $ -,180,222
sumo time last year ; nn increase of
about 10 ! per cent. This is a healthful
showing of the railroad business.
TUB denial by the supreme court of
the United StuteB of the application fern
n rehearing of the , telephone case will
disappoint n , great many people who hnd
hoped tlmt ( mother chnnco would bo
given for a more searching inquiry re
garding the validity of Hell's claim as
the iuvoiitor of the telephone , in which
Justice Luinur tuul the now chief justice
could participate. But the practice of the
bupremo court is not to grant n rehear

justices concurring in n decision , nnd ns
$ , no such request \\-aa made by either of
" * * the three justices who united with the

The Finished Work.
The republican party of Nebraska has
finished the work of choosing delegates
to the national convention. Whnt is
the result ns representing the views and
interests of the farmers and worklng-
rneii of the state , who constitute the
rank and file of the party ? Of the ton
men who will speak and act for Ne
braska at Chicago , 7hnt ono is there
who can bo counted with certainty to
voice the real sentiment of the great
body of the republicans of this stale ,
and oppose the influence likely to bo ex
erted there in hostility to the wishes
and interests of the people. There is
not ono. In the First district two rail
road attorneys wore chosen by the most
palpable and high-handed cxorclso of
corporation influence. The delegates
from the Second and Third districts are
harly less servile to railroad control
and dictation. And to crown all , the
state convention elected four delegates-
at-large all of whom arc in sympathy
with the corporations as nguinst the
people , while the man who will un
doubtedly dominate the entire delega
tion is the general attorney of the
Union Pacific , the corporation that has
not only done more than any other to
oppress and plunder the farmers
of Nebraska , but haq dared to
assort , with the help of n federal
judge , its independence of the authority
of the state of Nebraska. Was over a
party sunk to lower depths of degrading
servitude to the corrupting power of ,
the corporations than is the republican
party of this slate ?
In view of this action , what a sham
and mockery nro the declarations of the
platform relating to the corporations !
What man of intelligence will place
any confidence in the enunciations of a
convention demanding of the corpora
tions that they shall listen to the voice
of labor , and assorting the right of the
state to regulate the rail
ways ( within its boundaries ,
when that convention goes into
a delirium of enthusiasm at the mention
of the name of the attorney of the most
despotic and defiant of nil the corpora
tions ? How is it possible to have faith
in declarations or pledges favorable to
the people proceeding from men whoso
conduct shows them to bo the abject
servitors of the enemies of the poo-
ploVBut
But the work Is finished , and it must
stand. It demonstrates most completely
that the republican party of Nebraska
is in the shackles of the railroad cor
porations , bound hand and foot by the
corrupt , unscrupulous and self-seeking
politicians who have been permitted to
assume its leadership. Is it a hopeless
bondngeor have the rank and tile of the
party the free and honest republican
farmers and workingrnen the courage
to resent such leadership and throw oil
the bondage as they may , In part , do at
the approaching slate convention ? Wo
shall see. Meanwhile wo most
earnestly protest that the great body of
Nebraska republicans will bo misrepre
sented in the national convention of the
party. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Those who have had doubts regard
ing the sentiment of the democracy of
Now York toward Mr. Cleveland will
have them removed by the expressions
and action of the democratic state con
vention. These wore enthusiastic and
unqualified in approval of the adminis
tration. The platform is in the nature
of a panegyric , and every man selected
to go to St. Louis is a storehouse of
Cleveland zeal. It has required some
effort on the part of the administra
tion to bring about this condition of
uiTuirs. The democratic convention of
a year ago manifested no such
unanimity in favor of the presi
dent. On the contrary there was a very
largo element in that convention which
did not hesitate to proclaim its displeas
ure with Mr. Cleveland's policy , and
which was only placated and brought
into line by great effort. When the
state committee was subsequently or
ganized it was a question whether
Cleveland or Hill had the majority.
Stilt later there wore numerous and con
spicuous indications that the bontiment
of the democracy of New York was far
from harmonious toward the president.
Very active work has since boon done
by the administration managers to har
monize the part } ' in the Empire state ,
and it would seoin with complete suc
cess. There is absolutely nothing now in
the way of Cleveland being renomi-
natcd l > y acclamation. Furthormoio ,
ho is so completely in command of the
situation that ho may , if ho please ,
dictate who shall bo associated with
him on the ticket. As to the plat
form , it will bo made to fit the candi
date.
It is somewhat amusing , in the light
of the pasl attiludo and expressions of
the democracy of Now York , to road
tiio fulsome laudation the party now
showers upon the national administra
tion. It baa , according to this testi
mony , kept and realized all pledges , ac
complished great reforms , and in all
rcbpocts been a model of wikdom and
statesmanship. To show that this
view has but recently obtained
it is sufficient to cite the fact that less
than a year ago no part of the demo
cratic party in the country was moro
uncompromisingly opposed to the pro
fessed civil service reform policy of Mr.
Cleveland than the Now York part. It
has bitterly deprecated , also , the dispo
sition of the president , manifested until
within loss than a year , to consult and
gratify mugwump opinion in the con
duct of his administration. Thousands
of democrats in the state have de
nounced him as not of the party. Two
years ago there wore in various parts of
the state revolts against his pronounced
friends , notably in' his former home ,
ButTalo , made with the avowed object of
rebuking Mr. Cleveland. A romarku-
bio apparent conversion has taken place ,
showing both the political activity and
skill of the administration.
But the democrats of Now York will
have to share with the party generally
the suspicion that they are not sincere ,
and that the inspiration of their prnlbo of
the adininibtratlon is the attraction of
the spoils. Latterly Mr. Cleveland
has been more disposed than during the
that two years of hU administration to
see the value of these to his ambition ,
und this has helped him to u better
standing with his party- ; but
oven now the grout majority of
democrats , whether in Now Yorker
or elsewhere , do not feel any
strong confidence in him as a party
man. They have little fnith that if reelected -
elected ho will not resume the mo thoda
which mndo the first two years ot his
administration so offensive to thorn. In
any event , however , they must take
him , and they will do so with the
strongest possible manifestation of zeal
and enthusiasm however much of con
scious stultification may bo involved.
IT is proposed that the consuls and
commercial agents of the United States
in foreign countries shall furnish to the
bureau of agriculture monthly rouorts
relative to the character , condition and
prospective yields of the agricultural
and horticultural industries of the coun
try in which they are respectively situ
ated , such reports to bo incorporated in
the monthly bulletins of the commis
sioner of agriculture. The innovation
will bo useful , and , as it can bo made
without material additional expense to
the government , the plan should
bo adopted. In reporting the
bill for this purpose the senate -
ate committee on agriculture
and forestry said It was but simple
justice to persons engaged in agri
culture and horticulture that they
should bo given ns full and complete
an account as possible of the condition ,
character , extent and modes of culture
of the various products of the soil in
the countries where this country is rep
resented by consuls , such information
being valuable in several ways. It
was urged that the markets of the
farmers of the United States must bo
cnlarcred , in view of the increasing
products of the farm , the garden and
the orchard , and these foreign reports
would greatly aid in bringing about
such a result. The farmer who may have
a surplus desires to know the best
market to which it may bo sent ,
and it is the duty of his government to
keep him advised of such facts. It is
quite time that more interest was taken
by the government in supplying
American farmers with frequent and
accurate information regarding the ag
ricultural conditions of other lands , and
it is a service which can bo added to
the labors of our consuls without op
pressing them. There can bo no reasonable -
sonablo opposition to the measure to se
cure this service.
Mit. NATHAN C. AVI'LETOK , a well
known citizen of Massachusetts , spent
some time in the United States of
Colombia and took considerable pains to
investigate DoLesseps' canal. Ho is
therefore in position to reply to the
many conllicting reports which have
come from that quarter. In an inter
view at Washington , Mr. Aoploton
answered that the immense work is well
under way , and that Its completion at
the time set by DeLcssops is an assured
fact. Such positive statements of Mr.
Appleton set at rest the silly rumors of
certain parties who have circulated re
ports in America for the purpose of in
juring the great project. To the United
States the Panama canal will bo of
the greatest commercial benefit.
Through this short cut the trade of our1
Atlantic ports and those of the Pacific
will pass. We shall have at our.com-
iniuid the traffic and exchange from
Asia , Australia and the islands of ' the
Pacific. Moreover , wo shall build up a
crisscross commerce with the eastern
and western coast of South Araericaand
wo shall control the business of Cen
tral America and the southern half of
Mexico. The opportunity for trade
with our neighbors will create a demand
for shippers , and our languishing ship
ping industry and steamship building
will receive a sudden impetus.
IT was Senator Farwell , of Illinois ,
who was instrumental in bringing the
Chicago boodlors to justice. A year
and a half ago ho satisfied himself that
the county commissioners wore engaged
in robbing Cook county of enormous
sums by fraudulent contracts and pur
chases. Ho proposed to a prominent
editor the task of exposing the rascals
and guaranteed $10,000 for the prosecu
tion of them. As the gigantic conspir
acy came out , in spite of the hard fight
made by the ring , Mr. Fnnvoll raised
$100,000 for the purpose of convicting
the principals , und has had the satisfac
tion of sending seven of them to the peni
tentiary. The work of breaking up the
ring has boon done so thoroughly that
it will bo n great many days before
Chicago officials will forget the lesson.
Senator Farwell is entitled to great
credit in unearthing Twccdism. If the
numerous cities of America could have
such men ns Farwoll in their midst ,
ring-rule and bosbism in municipal gov
ernment would soon bo a thing of the
past.
ANOTIIKU railroad project Is on foot
backed by American capital to build a
line across Mexico from Tucson in a
southwesterly direction to the Pacific
coast. The road is to bo 1,850 miles
long and many Wall street operators
nro said to be putting up the necessary
millions. Tlio road has been incor
porated under the name of the Mexican
Pacific on a basis of $80,000,000 capitali
zation. To the man up a tree it looks
very much as if Mexico has become a
fertile field for Wall htreot speculators
who with glittering prospects are trap
ping the unwary to sink their money in
huirbraincd schemes.

Tlio Council.
The ono official lamp that hangs In tlio city
halt would not burn Tuesday night , IU place
was taken by two borrowed ones. Consequently
quently there was n gloom about the proceed
ings tlmt. extended to the cells In the roar
of the room , where a solitary pris
oner sat In the dark and worked out his sen
tence listening to the speeches. As It was a
cold night there was no flrc , and Councilruen
Fenno and Jotter wisely remained away , and
Councilman Raftcrly wont homo to get his
overcoat to puard against future chills. Tlio
reading of the minutes did not take up much
time , and on behalf of tbo ordinance coin-
in Ittco Chairman Bayllss said ho hadn't seen
the other two members respecting the state
of tbo roads in the neighborhood of Twenty-
fifth mid Eighteenth streets , nnil lie banded
it back to the clerk. Councilman MacMillan
stated that ho hadn't seen Councilman Fenno
and couldn't report on the appointment of n
scavenger. Then , ns It was appar
ently the flrst thno the members
of the different committees had
mot since lost council meeting , there was a
little general conversation in which they
perused the ordinances for the first time und
clthcrBlgncd them or asked for further timo.
The reports of the treasurer and police judge
were found to bo correct by the finance com
mittee and the rules were suspended iu order
to fj'lvo II. H. Chillborg a chnnco to toll what
bo Know about street lighting by electricity.
Ho recommends a twenty-four candle power
incandescent light , and thought a $500 light
plant would suit the wants of the town. It
could be put in for (5,500 and a suillcicnt
number of merchants would take lamps to
clvo tbo city their street lighting for noth
ing. The most economical would bo tlio
fifteen arc light plant , which could bo put
down for $3,800. In cither case the city would
have to furnish the power. Councllmen
Smith , McWilllnms and Rafferty were ap
pointed n committee to investigate. Assist
ant City EnRineor Lawrence then explained
a number of profiles , showing that hitherto
the grades have been established too hastily ,
and on motion of Councilman Smith , bis
views were adopted , and be was instructed
to make the necessary changes. Ho was also
empowered to engage an extra instrument
man and an ax-man , and to provide stone
monuments to mark all important strcot In
tersections. An ordinance instructing the
mayor to call a special election for tbo voting
of bonds to provide proper sewerage was re
ferred to the ordinance committee , and an
other relating to the appointment of a city
scavenger , was read for a second and third
time , and carried. Other routine business
followed , and the couucil adjourned.
More Grading.
Property owners on N street won't like to
hear that the grade is to bo raised another
foot and yet it will. Assistant City Engineer
Lawrence said very sensibly to the council
that It would not do to spoil the gra-Jo of the
entire city for the sake of two and a half
blocks on N street and they all agreed with
him , so that a now and true grade will now
bo established.

"Well , yes , I bad been sick , but am not now ,
as you nee , but for about eight years I was a
pretty sick man. not no .sick that I had to ru-
main Indoors , but sick enough to feel miser
able all the time. During the last eight years
I huvo been , n constant BUfTeror from catarrh ,
my nose would stop up so that I was compelled
to breathe through my mouth. Kvery fresh
cold would cauho mo more sutrcrlnii , until It be
came almost unbearable. I had a continuous
dull pain over and In the back part of my eyes.
I scarcely knew what U was to be without a
headache. I was continually bommlng and
spitting to remove n lump in my throat , \rhlch I
could never displace , Iu the morning It would
cause mo so much annoyance that by the time I
wasreadvfor mv breaksast I had lost all my
appetlto for It.lu fact.mv appetite was poor for a
long time as nir stomach was continually out of
order , a constant rising of w Ind and of sour
water In mr throat , a dull heavy feeling In the
pit of my Htoiiiaoh nnd a palu on ono side or the
other under my ribs which made mo feel on
though I could not take a long breath. Jly
lungs felt sere all the time , lint the doctor torn
me It was duo moro to the conUltl n of my
stomach , which I afterwardx found be true ,
for as soon aa 1 felt better In iny ctomach the
pains In my chest left me. Jly condition waa
auch us to alarm my wife aud niy frlenda , my
sleep was broken , and I would arise In the
Morning feeling as tired and languid as I did the
previous night.
AH I nald , my condition alarmed my wlfo and !
nuulo up my mind that something had to be
done , for 1 had Buffered enough. 1 consulted
several doctors and tried several patent prepa
rations , but It did mo no good. Ivas ailvtsod by
a friend of mine to consult lr. J. Crt-sap McCoy ,
and an I had read considerable about blm , in

sult him. I visited his oHlco about two months

took treatment and began to luiproroatoucei
after the first tro n tment my nose became clearer
nnd I could breathe through It once moro some
thing I had not done for a long time and It did
not take Ion ? until I began to feel better In every
way , aud to-day I feel like u new man ; I hare a
good appetite , my stomach Is all rl ht again ,
and f can oat three good moala every day : I
have no moro trouble with my throat , und the
palnovermy eyes Is a thing of the past ; Ihavo
no more headaches , and , to make a long story
short , I think Dr. McCoy has cured my catarrh.
