the hotter facilities made for hundlin

volopod wonderfully in the space of
few months. Tjio shipments have m
begun to moot the demand , nnd th
fruit is distributed not alone in No

How They Have Kept Out.
The advent of Charles Francis Adams
to the supreme control of the Union Pa
cific railroad wns signalized by impor
tant reforms from which the patrons of
the railroad company nnd especially the
people of Nebraska had much to expect.
At the very outset ot his administra
tion Mr. Adams proclaimed himself as
moot decidedly opposed to interference
on the part of the officers of the Union
Paciflo with thu political affairs of the
state. Ho professed to condemn and de
plore the policy of Ids proilocussors
in packing political conventions ,
dictating candidates for state and leg
islative offices , and carrying on a parti
san warfare against all who dared re
sent and resist corporate interference
in politics.
A proclamation of emancipation wns
issued by Mr. Adams , absolving all rail
road employes from Involuntary servi
tude ns henchmen to the political rail
road bosses , and assuring the people of
the state that henceforth the Union
Pacific railroad was out of politics.
This deliverance from railroad
bulldozers was an agreeable sur
prise to the people , but like
Grovcr Cleveland's famous order
against offensive partisanship , it was
merely a sham and a snare. Mr. Adams
personally may bo in good faith , but
liis subordinates , and notably the head
of his law department at Omaha , have
manifested no respect for the promised
reform.
Mr. Auams may or may not bo aware
of the fact that much of the enmity
that still exists against the Union Pa
cific railroad is chiolly duo to the
persistent and offensive meddling
with politics by olllcors and em
ployes of the road. While it is
true that the retinue of ward bum
mers and vagrants which formerly con
stituted the active following of Union
Pacific bosses at primary elections
and conventions has been ostensi
bly dismissed , n class of just as dis
reputable vagabonds is kept on the
trail , hounding decent people and hon
orable men who aspire to political po
sitions. Those political mercenaries
derive their sustenance and inlluonco
solely from the chief of the oil room
contingent , who Is tramping all over
this state ostensibly as the champion of
the republican cause , but in reality as
manipulator of conventions and sottor-
up of political jobs and plots.
Wo do not propose to mince matters
in dealing with this subject. When A.
J. Popplcton was general attorney of
the Uniou Pacific he never went near
a political convention or a legislature.
Ho is an intense democrat , but did
not deem it part of his official duty
, oorganize political raids against the
ank and file of his party , under the
> reloxt that such a course wns made
iccessnry to prevent hostile legislation
or insure fair treatment. Such infa
mous nnd criminal work was .left for
John M. Thurston , who admitted as
nuch before the Pacific railroad com-
inissiqn.
But when Popploton retired , Thurs
ton solemnly announced upon his word
of honor that as general attorney of the
Union Pacific ho should turn his back
upon his past oil-room record and de
vote himself to the legal business of the
company. How ho has kept his word of
honor is notorious. Even Mr ,
Adams , proocupicd as ho may be ,
cannot ignore the fact that Thurston
s to-day the most active politician in
Nebraska. Ho is not merely content
with exorcising the political privileges
of an American citizen. His right tc
do so nobody will call in question. But
Thurston has made himself the head nnd
front of a political faction which seeks
to dominate the state through the ma
chinery of the republican party for base
ends , by the use of corporate
> atronngo. Thurston has this season ,
ns much as over , scattered railroad
passes among venal shysters nnd po
litical vagabonds , and his followers
everywhere are hold together bj
promises of corporate favor to the dotri
inent ot the public.
Now , what need is there for Thurstor
and his oratory in Nebraska in the pros
out campaign. Nebraska has an assurci
republican majority of twenty-five thou
and for Harrison and Morton. The
only thing that can possibly bring disus
tor to any part of the stnto ticket is tin
foisting of obnoxious candidates upoi
the party by the corrupt ant
malign influence of John M
Thurston and his ilk of disreputable am
venal political hacks who have botrayei
the pcouloin the past and cannot rcgnii
public confidence.
It is manifest on its face thatThurstoi
is only acting out a policy which tin
president of the Union Pacific road condemns
domns in Massachusetts but condone
and secretly upholds in Nebraska.
Mnlco No mistake.
The state troasursbip is not merely i
toothsome bone which prominent bank
crs nnd combines ot bankers are tryinj
to grasp , but it involves an olllco whic ]
the railroad managers are dosporatol ;
determined to fill with a man who wilde
do their bidding on the state board o
transportation. The two most prominent
inont railroad candidates for treasure
rtro Yost and Einsol. The first nnmci
is the Union Pacific's choice
and comes to the convontio
with John M. Thurston ns his chief sur.
porter. Kinsol has the powerful back
ing of the Burlington managers , th
B. & M. townslto ring and the comblni
of politicians that train in their wake
Nobody cnn bo blnmed for nsplring t
the position of stnto treasurer. Tin
office is worth fully twenty-five thous
and dollars a year , and with rnilron
perquisites it may bo made still mor
lucrative. It is a sugar plum whic !
certainly ought to satisfy the appetit
of the most hungry politician.
The republican party should bosto'
this ofllco on no man who i
known to bo n mere hewer c
wood and drawer of water for th
railroad corporations. The posltio
demands u man of thoMiighost intogrit
nnd n man whoso past career entitle
him to the gratitude of his party. 1
will not do to loud down the state tickc
with rank monopolists because this is
national campaign year. Party loynlt
to the presidential candidates will nc
prevent n revolt If the convontloi
under the malign influence of th
corporation bosses and their nlllos , the ,
professional Jobbers , should commit the
criminal blunder of entering the field
with a ticket composed of men whoso
record tor integrity is clouded nnd
whoso associations nre nnd hnvo been
with the worst element of the railroad
fnction. Ropubllcnns must mnko no
mistake in their stnto nominations.
Democratic Troubles.
The democratic party hns several
moro or less serious troubles on liniul.
It is troubled because it hns no really
grout and efficient lender to uphold Its
standard in the campaign. It ia sorely
troubled by reason of the apathy and
indifference which appear lo have fcet-
tlod down upon it. The indisposition of
the people to place confidence In its
ability , or rather in the ability of its
southern wing , to rcnrrnngo the fiscal
policy of the government , is n source ot
nggrnvating trouble to it. It is a good
dual troubled about the situation in
Now York , without which state the
party cannot obtain possession of
the presidency. The evidences of re
publican zeal nnd enthusiasm trouble it
greatly.
Another trouble which is Raid to have
been added to the many that burden the
democracy , nnd not the least serious of
them , is the discovery thntn very great
mistake wns made in placing Mr. Calvin
S. Brice at the head of the national
campaign committee. Mr. Brice is a
millionaire who has made his money
chiefly in successful railroad invest
ments , though thcso are not at present
the only sources of his income. Since
he has begun to actively operate in pol
itics , ho seems to have reached con
clusions not entirely in line with
the policy for which Mr. Cleveland
Is responsible , and ho is charged
with having permitted some statements
to escape him not altogether friendly to
the attitude of the president. Mr.
Brice explicitly denies having made the
utterances ascribed to him , but there
seems to bo no doubt that ho has fallen
into disfavor with the president nnd
with Mr. William L. Scott , and it is the
current belief in Now York and Wash
ington that Mr. Brice will retire from
his position at the head of the campaign
committee.
Such an occurrence would bo damag
ing to the party , not for the reason that
Mr. Brice is especially valuable for
anything but his money , but because it
would bo n most striking evidence
of internal dissension nnd dissatis
faction respecting the policy of
the president that would inevitably
produce defection in the rank and file
of the party. It would go far to ac
count for the prevailing apathy among
the managers of the party , a number ot
whom are said lo bo in full sympathy
with the attitude attributed to Brice ,
and.its general effect would bo to , in
some degree , weaken and demoralize
the party. Having those certain results
in view , it may bo that the reported
pressure to bounce Brice will be with
drawn , but in any event , if matters are
as represented , the chairman of tlio
campaign committee will bo allowed to
cut only a very small figure , and lie
would , doubtless , not long submit to be
virtually ignored. Meanwhile Mr.
Cleveland appears not to have lost any
faith in his own infallibility and to
still insist in having his authority as
the party master fully respected in all
things.
Itntdiiij ; the streets.
Is it not high time to enforce laws in
Omahn against tearing up streets on
Sunday ? The very fact that such work
is begun after midnight on a , day when
legal process cannot bo executed
through the courts , is on its face proof
positive of lawless intent. In tearing
up lower Douglas street the managers
of the Motor line have not only acted in
deliberate defiance of the state
laws , but they have purposely
ignored the city ordinance which for
bids the building of street railroads on
any paved street without a permit from
the board ot public works designating
the blocks they may occupy.
It was the duty of the police in this
instance to arrest not only the man
agers of the motor line but every
man employed by them. Once and
for all time thceo lawless raids
should bo stopped in this city. A cor
poration owning street railroad fran
chises should bo held to a strict ac
countability for destroying street pave
ments without authority , and men engaged -
gaged in Sunday work on the streets
should bo punished to the full extent ol
the law.
JOHN M. THUIISTON has boon on
hnnd at several of the county conven
tions , which have passed resolutions in
favor of Senator Mandorson's re-elec
tion. But somehow the candidates
nominated for the legislature have foi
the most part a strong leaning toward ;
the Union Pacific oil room manager. II
will bo easy for them to find a protoxi
for Hopping from Mnndorson to Thurs-
ton just about the time the sanatoria'
fight reaches a focus.

SIIAUKS.
Where Fashion-Kcvelg ami Wealthy
Thirst Is Qiienuliod.
SA1SA.TOQA , N , Y. , August 18.
[ Special to THC BKK. ] Fashion has de
creed that during August all city resi
dences must bo closed and everyone
must visit some faahionablo resort. No
watering place in America has such an
immense number of arrivals in August
as Saratoga.
The season is at its height and gaiety
reigns on every side. A walk down
Broadway reveals characteristic Sara
toga life in all its diversity. The shops
are attractive and the windows contain
handsome and elegant goods to tempt
the passe rs-b } ' . A diamond necklace
has been on exhibition at one of the
stores , which is valued at $23,000 , and
there is always an admiring throng
around this window looking at this glit
tering gem.
One of the belles is reported to have
u wardrobe of
TIIUEE HUXDUED DUKSSKS
with bonnets and parasols to match each
suit. By appearing in a different toilet
several times each day , the season will
afford her urn pi o opportunity for dis
playing all of her elaborate costumes
and expensive jewelry. The rumors
about the fashion and wealth seen in
this watering place everywhere are not
more reports but are facts. Jay Gould
has seemed to enjoy all the rest and
recreation Saratoga offers and appeared
in the best of spirits. Ho is so well
pleased with this town that ho has de
cided to purchase a summer villa , and
is looking about for one which suits
him. Many handsome summer res
idences have boon built within the past
throe or four years nnd the demand is
becoming greater nnd greater.
Cottage festivities , hotel hops , vor-
nndn concerts , and park attractions ,
hnvo filled every day of the past week
with entertainment for guests. The
JIIDSL'JIMKIt ritoTIVAL
is now the anticipated event , and will
bo one of tlio occasions of the year.
Nothing , however , cnn exceed in bril
liancy the garden parties given at the
Grand Union hotel for several seasons.
The annual one is to come off the last of
this month , and many are the prepara
tions that nro being mndo by the pro
prietors of the hotel to have nil the ar
rangements as complete as possible , and
by tlio belles of society to have elabor
ate and beautiful toilets for this grand
affair. The recent children's carnival at
the Congress was a delightful event for
young and old.
The National summer school hns just
completed its term , to the satisfaction
of instructors and people. Visitors in
Saratoga have the , best opportunities
for improvement in every directionnnd
eminent tenchora from nil parts of the
country come hero to form clnssos.
The races have brought the usual
number of sporting people into town ,
and much intorest'has boon manifested
thus far. Tlio billiard tournament and
wnlking match are. among the topics of
conversation. The question of building
n convention Hall is being agitated.
This city of springs is a favorite plnco
for all kinds pf ( iis.soinblies , and from
spring until late autumn conventions
uro constantly hold hero , so that the
need of such a hall Is clearly shown.
AT HATIIOltX Sl'UING.
One sees n crowd of summer visitors ,
and around this spring one Is often sur
prised to moot old acquaintances whom
one supposed miles distant. Some
friends had arrived in town , but I had
not yet boon able to find nt what hotel
or boarding house they wore guests-
knowing the largo throng which nlwnya
assemble at the Hathorn , I felt sure
I should see them there. In loss than a
quarter of an hour I saw their familiar
faces , nnd while drinking the sparkling
water wo hud a pleasant chat about old
times. Many of the wntor drinkers
como annually , nnd the number who
order cnsos of bottled Hathorn water tc
drink iu their homes exceeds that ol
the people who come hero , yet the
crowd about this fountain of health
numbers 3,000 dally.

From Nebraska City.
NKIWVSKACITV , Neb. , August 19. [ Special
to THE BIB. : ] A turn of the Otoo political
kaleidoscope exhibits u now lot of local aspir
ants for legislative honors. Major Watson ,
in his eager desires for the nomination for
float senator by the republicans , llnds u
worthy opponent in Dr. Wallace , of Cass
county , whoso name is brought forward by
his friends for a place on the democratic
ticket. Dr.Wallace would make an excellent
race , for no man has more friends In Otoo
nnd Cass counties , besides being an enthusi
astic Van Wyck followed If nominated , Dr.
Wallace will doubtless represent the two
counties in the next legislature us lloat
senator.
Tim democratic decree has been Issued nnd
the Hon. Joslah Hogors , of Syracuse , will bo
the opponent of Generul Van Wyck for the
state senate. He is an able man and nu honest
legislator , whoso record Is above criticism.
Mr. Eugcno Munn , of Otoe , Dr. White , of
Palmyra , nnd W. T. Canada , of
this city , are nlso candidates for
nominations on that ticKct for legislative
honors. The latter is in his way , politically ,
quite popular and Is also a candidate for the
nomination for stnto senator , for lloat-scnu-
tor in fact everything of a political
nature.
'Iho recent attack of an Omaha penny-a-
liner upon Mr. Morton was entirely uncalled
for , us that gentleman has often expressed
himself to THE HKK represontutivo Unit 1m
was u candidate for no political ofllco within
the gift of the people. It Is known us u fact
that ho would not accept the nomination for
congress if his election was assured.
A Mn.ors-II | < MVo Combination.
Atnnmx , Neb , , August 19. [ Special to TUB
BRK. ] The republican county convention of
Nomuha county , held hero Saturday , ad
journed to October 0. The delegates came
ncro to nominate a ticket yesterday , hut the
Majors nnd Howe combination prevented It
by very hard work. The first vote was a
tio. Then Howe nnd Majors rallied nnd car
ried it by a very small , majority. Day by day
the trade between Majors and Ho wo becomes
inoro apparent , nnd the dissatisfaction
among honest people Increases.
Howe has been to Johnson county to secure
his nomination to vho stnto senate. Ho holds
up both hands in horror when Van Wyck's
name is mentioned ns a candidate for the
United States scnuto , nnd savs that it
would bo an outrage to elect him. Ho ap
pears to have forgotten the bargain nnd salute
to Noise Patrick and his effort to turn the
stnto over to I'ilden.
The delegation to the state convention U
packed , and Majors and Howe hnvo it for
ttaloto the highest bidder. The delegation
will support Jaka Dana for uudltor. Thu
trade .was made bj Howe a few
. fr llA. . . . -
days ago when ho wns tn Tccumsoh.
Johnton county , In return , 'will nupport
Howe for M to senater. The prospect to
elect n full independent ticket Is ns good M
It wns six years ago when Howe's slate was
smashed and the whole Independent ticket
fleeted , The people are xvldc-nwnko to the
corrupt bargain between Howe and Majors ,
The legislative ticket from Nomulm county
will bo Church Howe for the senate.
From Crete.

man that they propose for that distinguished
position is their fellow townsman , George H.
Hastings. They claim that Mr. Hustings Is
eminently qunllllcd for the position.
The next In Importance to the people ot
Crete is that of state treasurer , nnd the gen
eral feeling nnd drift of preference seems to
be towards John P. Clary , ox-county treas
urer of Saline.

IjlTKISAUY NOTKS.
For the first time in its history The
Century will devote a single issue the
forthcoming September number large
ly to educational themes. The contri
butions will include "Tho University
and the Bible , " by T. T. Mungor , a plea
for the study ot Chribtinn as well as
heathen classics ; "Women who go to
College , " by Arthur Oilman , and "The
Industrial Idea in Kducation , " by
Charles M. Carter. One illustrated
paper is on "College Fraternities , "
with pictures of twenty-eight chapter
houses and society halls at Yale , Har
vard , Princeton , and other collegesand
another is on "Uppinghnm : an Ancient
School Worked on Modern Ideas , " with
a number of illustrations by Joseph Pon-
nell , and a portrait of the Into head
master , Edward Tliring , who is said to
be , since Arnold of Rugby , the most
highly esteemed educator of Kngland.
There will also bo several important
Short editorial articles and "open let-
lot's" on diHuront brandies of the biuno
subject. Other distinctive features of
the magazine , the Lincoln history ,
B Iberian papers , fiction , etc. , will , however -
ever , bo retained.
General Sheridan's article entitled
"From Gravolotto to Sedan , " to appear
in the November number of Scribner's
Magazine , its the first and only contri
bution over made by General Sheridan
to u periodical and covers a part of his
career which it wns impossible for any
other pen than his own to record. Tlio
article is written with the greatest ,
spirit and force , in the concisu and un
pretentious but peculiarly clear style
which Sheridan had in common with
Grant and indeed , with moot great mil
itary leaders. It does not deal with the
military technicalities of the battles ,
except for occasional signs of very
shroivd observation ; but is written upon
a largo scale , as though the dramatic
force of what ho was watching could not
but got the bettor of the merely profes
sional point of view. This gives the
story perhaps its greatest attraction ,
and certain passages show a remarkable
uud unexpected power of word painting.
"Society Rapids , " just published by
T. B. Peterson & Brothers , Philadel
phia , is a bright , crisp and breezy novel
of fashionable life in Washington , with
summer episodes at Saratoga and Bar
Harbor. It is a keen , trenchant nnd
lively exposition of high life at the na
tion' * * capital , with sullicient satire to
give it a biting llavor. Always bright ,
always clover , it plunges along through
a perfect maze of ilirtntion , husband-
hunting , small talk nnd scandal , never
failing to interest and never lacking n
plentiful fund of exciting nmusomont.
lion. L.evl P. Morton has chosen as
his oflicial biographer , Goo. Alfred
Townsend , "Gnth , " who has nearly
completed his work. It is to accompany
General Low Wallace's biography o !
General Harrison , and is to appear
early in August. Published by Hub-
bard Bros. , of Philadelphia.
General Low Wallace , the author of
"Bon Hur , " is at work upon his life of
Ben Harrison. No better selection for
the work could have boon made. The
"Bon Hur" reputation of the author ,
his life long acquaintanno with General
Harrison , and his largo experience in
national and international affairs are
qualifications which ensure the success
of the work.
The Hon. Hugjt McCulloch , secretary
of the treasury under Lincoln , Johnson
and Arthur , has written for the Septem
ber number of Scribnor's Magazine n
paper entitled "Memories of some Con
temporaries , " in which ho recalls his
impressions of eminent men with whom
ho lias been acquainted in the course ol
his half-century of public life. It IE
said that his reminiscences of Becchor ,
Chase , Lincoln , Fcssondon and Arthur
are remarkably entertaining , and throw
now light on some of the public crises
with which these men were closely con
nected.
The fourth article in the Railway
Series now appearing in Scribner's Mag
azine , will bo contributed to Jho Sep
tember number by General Horace Porter
ter , who writes of ' 'Railway Passenger
Travel , " giving much entertaining in
formation in regard to the origin and
development of sleeping , parlor and
dining earn , and vobtibuled trains.
General Porter's narrative iu enriched
by his unusual faculty of bringing out
the most interesting and striking feat
ures of the subject , lie will albO touch
upon the question of car couplers , steam-
heating , switches , cheeks , Immigrant
transportation , and ratio of accidents.
H. C. Bunnor will tell in Scribnor's
for September under the title "A Secondhand
ond-hand Story , " the tale suggested by
an old hymn-book , picked up for atrille ,
and bearing the dato-of 1701. It is said
that this story in one of unusual delicacy
of sentiment and fooling.
The midsummer holiday number of
the Cosmopolitan ( for August ) is the
strongest number over published by that
bright young mugnzino. The magazine
has now every appearance and nssur-
unco of success , being managed by a
combination of publishers who repre
sent u half million of capital , while its
editorial conduct remains the same.
There will bo no change in its style or
policy except to make it still moro crisp
and Journalistic , keeping it entirely dis
tinct from olhormaguzlnea. There cor-
ttiinly is room for such a monthly , and
the people are bound to rcconizo its
merits because of its unparalleled cheap
price.
The loaders of Washington society
