Mr. C. P. Cvfimobaugh calls attention to the do- Aioralizing influence of the pool rooms of this city. Thora is no question that 'hundreds of young men are dobauohea by this kind of gambling. It is cer- 'tainly inconsistent to suppress gambling of ono sort and wink nt pool and com bination gambling which is no less im moral and illegal. If the gambling law cannot bo applied to the pool room , the time is coming when a law can bo on- noted that will suppress the evil of pool room option betting. SKNATOK STKWAKT seems to bo in terror lest Cleveland , "tho hurler of veto thunderbolts , " as ho calls him , shall declare himself dictator. There is no cause for alarm. General Prank P.

GenOrnl Grant never displayed any symptoms of verifying the morbid prediction. There is a current opinion that Cleveland will move back to , DutTaio .about the 4th of next Marsh. - Another Mile-Post. TtiK BKK has reached its seventeenth mile-post. Though its editor and foun der Is absent from the city on a thrice- earned vacation , THIS UKI : 'celebrates the seventeenth year of iU existence , nnd rejoices that it has accomplished so much. It hns steadily and swiftly grown to dimensions which ontitla it to the llrst place in western journalism. Tim BKK has always been a news paper. . Not only the more gatherer and disseminator of news , but the fact that its editor Is possessed of a rare moral courage and a supreme individu ality with which ho has over grappled fearlessly with every livinp issue , has largely boon the cause of the paper's wonderful success. Tun BKK is recognized by the rank and illo of the republican party in the west as the opponent of its principles. Not clinging to the antiquated prejudices and customs of two decades ngo , Tine Bi < : i : has at times arisen , in its dcslro to render service to honest racn ( above more politics and torn to shreds the small and petty moans of scoundrels who attempted to use the great historic party for their shield. When legislators and other public ofllccrs agreed to be , not the representa tives of the popular will , but tlio more pupnots of a band of corporate cor morants , with their hired mercenaries , who sought to shape legislation against the people , Tin ? Bun has never for gotten its duty to the toiling , masses. It will always oppose the parasitic growth of any party. As a medium of news it is not excelled in any state , and has no peer between Chicago and San Francisco. Its circu lation is increasing , and has reached almost twenty thousand a day. The early part of the seventeen years of THIS BHE'S existence was a struggle between life and death. It was success ful. And to-day , strong , vigorous and victorious , it leads the van , increasing in popularity and excellence , Tlio Nc\v Kmporor. The obsequies of Germany's dead emperor - poror will not bo over before all Europe will bo intently seeking to know what are the sentiments of the new ruler of the empireso as to divine , if possible , what may bo his policy. Despite the assur ance which ho is said to Imvo given from time to time within the past two months that ho had no military ambi tion , and that 1m would seek to avoid rather than foment war , the confidence of Europe in him as a friend of peace is not strong. There is a general belief that his motive in thus declaring him self was to calm the fear of the nations , likely to increase if ho remained silent , with the growth of conviction in the fatal character of Frederick's malady. When just after the accession of the late emperor to the imperial rule it was pro posed to make William regent with un restricted powers , it was declared throughout Europe that such action would be regarded as almost tantamount to a declaration of war. The plan was Bismarck's , and when the probable olTcct was teen it was modified so that the crown prince was clothed with limited functions for a time in order to relieve the emperor. The * fact of this circumstance developing so strong "a feeling of apprehension regarding the then crown prince furnishes plau sible reason for supposing that he was counselled , and saw the wisdom of the counsel , to re assure Europe by announcing the peace ful sentiments and intentions that have been credited to him. Sineo the death of Frederick the now emperor is said to have talked in the same vein. It is understood that ho will adhere to the triple alliance , made in the interest of peace , and if this shall prove to bo his intention .Europo vill need no better assurance that BO far as Germany is concerned the pcnro will not bo disturbed. But there is this to bo kept in mind , that under William II Germany will probably have a loss dis position to compromise than has marked her policy for the last dozen years , and that while she may do noth ing to provoke trouble , if it is thrust upon her she will show more ro'adinoss to robont it. The now emperor may not really want war , but ho will not have the same solicitude to avoid it that his grandfather had. Tlio knowl edge of this may induce oven greater care than is observed not to fall into disputes with the Gorman empire. Un questionably William will not allow the military establishment of Germany to deteriorate , but he may rather bo ex pected to strengthen it wherever ho shall doom increased oflloiency to bo necessary. It may safely be assumed , also , that ho will not go very far on the liberal lines marked out by his father for enlarging and protecting the politi cal rights of the people. This policy ol Frederick was repugnant to Bismarck , whoso counbol was overruled , but the chancellor is behoved to have greater influence with the present omperor. There is a strong clamant in Gorman } ' whi'-h has not boon eatisliod with the recent imperial policy , and which now hopes for the beginning of a , now era. It roinalns to bo seen to what oxtenl William II ie > in sympathy with this olo' ment , but there is reason to apprehend that the conservative course of the gov- eminent for the last ton years will un dergo some changes that may not bo It the ultimate advantage of the nation , It is a great and monstrous task that is devolved upon the young man of thirty with little other training than that ol the camp , and whose controlling in stincts and uspcraticns are these of r soldier. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ EIGHT years ago it was a ha'ppy daj with the Garflold family when James A Garliold received the nomination of the republican party. It is doubtful , however over , whether the double wedding bo twecn Mr. J.

Apropos of , ho recent presence of General Fremont n this city , it maybe well to recall that Mrs. Fremont in her day had just such qiulttk'aUons.

A comprehensive pro gramme for the discussion and delibera tion of the conference has been ar ranged , assuring a most interesting and instructive session. Among the papers to bo presented will be ono on "Tho Unknown in Case History of the Insane , " by Dr. A. E. Kelly , of Norfolk , Nob. , and Omaha will bo represented by M > . C. S. Stobbins as a member of the committee on immigra tion. The last session of the conference , hold in this city , is pleasantly remembered , and the benefits derived from it Imvo already been very considerable. Foil some time there have boon ru mors of an intention to remove the of fices of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis souri Valley railroad from Missouri Valley to Omaha , but these failing to materialize the impression obtained that the matter hud been dropped. Such , however , was not the ease , and we are glad to be able to announce on olliciul authority that the olllccs of the company will bo removed to this city next Monday , the 18th. There can bo no question us to the advantages that will result to the company from this change , while Omaha will gain an ac ceptable addition to her population and other very desirable benolits. TIIK movers for a higher education of women must feel highly encouraged that Columbia college has conferred at its recent commencement the degree of A. B. on Miss Louise Alk-a Pond. She is the first woman to receive recognition in tlio collegiate course from that con servative university.

VOICK OP THK STATIC PUKSS. The AVymoro Union wants Harrison and Pholps. It is stated that the Lincoln Democrat has been sold. "It is now proposed to run John A.

Between frco trade and absolute railroad rule the people would choose the lessor rvll of the two , and the political nm- chinu ought to bo mudo to plainly under stand it. This somewhat interesting piece of information mation comes from a Tecums'eh paper : " \Vo hear through pretty reliable sources that a tie-up has been effected recently between T. J. Majors nnd Church Howo. Tlio under standing is that Majors will go to the bonata nnd Howe to the House.

" * * "Hnvo you got n sister who Is about to graduate from a female seminary this year ! " a kcd n well-known society young man about town of his- friend , "No ! Well , I congratu late you and pity you at the same tlmo. You see , graduation is such n big affair , or nt least It appears so down at our house. Why , ns long as three months ago they've had dressmakers by the dozen consulting about what would bo best to woar. Everybody , from the governor down to the kitchen girl , has had his or her say on the subject. I have heard more about polonaise nnd bodice in the last six weeks than you have over hoard nil your llfo. Now , when I graduated from the school half-dozen I didn't ' high n - years ago , bother about dross , but put in all my time on getting up n presentable essay. But It scorns nil the other way with girls. The ether day I asked Trixy , my sister , you know , If she had her essay prepared. She Is an 'honor' girl , whatever that may bo , and has boon selected by her classmates to read thn class prophecy. 'Why no , ' said she ; 'I've been so awfully busy with my dress and with other little things that I Imvo forgotten all about It. ' Well , sir , I could linvo dropuod through the floor ; six weeks' worrying about a dross , and not as much as a thought of her essay to be read In less than twenty days. If there is anything in the world that would make mo feel bad , It would bo to have a sister of mlno get up before n fashionable audience of her friends nnd niako a failure of it. I couldn't sleep that night for mortification , Although I didn't say a word to Trixy about it I sat down , and In the course of three or four days wrote out a nlco little essay about orange blossoms , clouds with silver linings and such things , which I knew would bo ap propriate for the occasion. I tied the cream- tinted pupor together with a long cardinal ribbon , the class colors , nnd dutcrmlncd to give her the "prophecy , " when nho would come to mo with tears in her eyes nnd dispair on her face , and confess that she couldn't write anything. Uut she didn't do anything of the kind. Just live da.vs before com mencement she came to my room about 0 in the morning , woke mo up nnd hurried nib out of bed to look over something she had written for the ordcnl. You wouldn't bo- Hove it , would you , but that girl nctuully sat up the night before and wrote the neatest bit of conceit I had read for many a day. It was capital , if I say it myself. A sort of. inspira tion written on the spur of the moment , and n sparkling Improvement over the heavy labored "prophecy" which I had ground out. Well , sir , I never was so proud of Trixy as on that commencement day when she came forward in a poem of white tulle and lace ch ? Why , the dress , of course that took six months to make and read her prophecy written in a night. She made tlio hit of the exercises. Yes , sir , I was proud of her. Hut I never told her of the cream-tinted ribboned essay that I wrote for her. THK STATI-VS STATESMEN. Judge Parker of Lincoln is running ia the dark for land commissioner. J.S. Dew , candidate for land commissioner , is circulating throughout the state looking uftur his fences. Boss Uostwlck of Adams county woula barter lilb hope' of heaven for a seat in the Nebraska sunato. Jim North will not be n candidate for gov ernor on the democratic ticket. His cup of glory was filled nt St. Louis. It Is unnecessary to state in this connec tion that a very largo portion of Nebraska's statcsir.cn are this week doing Chicago. Tom Darnell , the Greoly county statesman , is out of the fight for attorney general. And thus another of Ed Cams' pot schemes dis solves. The Culbrt-Uon Sun denies In double leads that William Brown is a candidate for the state senate. William , however , will run for the legislature. Thomas Henton , candidate for state audi tor , watches the papers to sco if any political incubator will bring fortll moro candidates for the position ho longs to fill. It is gencrnllv conceded that Governor Thaycr , Secretary of State Laws nnd Prof. Lane , superintendent of nubile instruction , will bo given n second term without opposi tion in the republican state convention. T.W.Scott of York county will attempt to inherit the tin-one of Attorney-General Lccsn. The people , however , will rally round the present Incumbent In a style nnd manner that will make all opposition very sick nt heart. Judge Sam Chapman , ofllclally nnd ener getically denies that ho is a candidate for congress. In the language of a favorite poet , the Judge maintains that In these days of doubtful majorities , it is oven better to bo n district "joedgo" than to bo u king. It Is told in mournful numbers that Hen Cowdry , deputy secretary of state , Is not n candidate for state treasurer. Captain Hill nnd Charles Carter , however , bill I hug the fond delusion of stepping into the ollicisil shoes of Charley Willard , with a grip oven tighter than death. HAPPY ADAM. Ho never loaned his umbrella. Ho never saw his mother-in-law. Ho never attended n national republican convention. Ilia tailor never malco him a pair of light pants in August. Ho never tried to wind his Watcrbury watch with a corkscrew. Ho never hid under the bed while Eve en tertained n sowing circle , Ho never rode in a patrol wagon , and there is no ovidcnco that ho ever listened to a brass bund. Ho never waited in n barber Hhop two hours to bo "next , " while the files played a iaraoof base ballon his bald head. Ho never got up at midnight when the moon was polo and cold and the thermometer was below zero , to administer paregoric to a child that was apparently yelling from the Garden o.f Helen to a man in Chicago.

From this depended n golden fao. simile of the tools used In mining , a pick , shovel , hammer and rope , while still lowe r hung u small gold bucket filled with golden nuggets. The sentiment of the delegation , as well as it could be understood without having hold a meeting to agree upon the snmo , was that If Hlaiao were in the field ho would bo Cole rado's favorite. They had no special ono to look after. They wanted to help to win the campaign , and would bo satisfied with anybody except Grcsham. They were afraid of Ills silence on the subject of protec tion. tion.Besides Besides those whose names nro mcntlncd there were the following prominent Colo- radians : W. G.
