TIIK law which provides that no city oflieiril , in whatsoever capacity , shall bo interested in any contract with tlio city , is explicit and wise. The board of education seems to have overlooked the law in one or two instances. Ignornnce will not excuse the board any more than it will the individual.

Thp IIouio Votfci Helnllnton. | The notuo of representatives on Sat urday passed , by an almost uuanimoiH vote , the retaliation bill supplementing the act of 18ST and granting enlarged powers to the president. Strong speeches were made in opposition to the measure , but only four votes wore recorded - corded against it. The bill provides that whenever the president may deem It his duly to ex orcise any of the powers given to him by the act of 18S7 , it shall bo lawful for him , in his dlHcrollon , by proclamation to HiiHpond In whole or in part the transportation acres the territory of the United Slates , in bond and without the payment of duty , of gooiU , wares and merchandise im ported or exported from any foreign country from or to the British dotnin- IDIIH In North America. Further , it is provided that whenever the president Hluill lx ) HallHllijil that there is any ai - crlinliialloii whalovor In the use of the Canadian canals , whether by tolls , drawbacks , refund of tolls , or otherwise , which is or may bo detrimental to the United Slate i or any of its citl/ona , it shall bo lawful for him in his discretion to IHHUO a proclamation to that effect , whereupon there shall bo collected u toll of twenty cents a ton upon every foreign vessel and her cargo passing throutrh American canals , or the pres ident may prohibit the use of said canals to any foreign vessel. The continuance of Hucli a policy us the president shall adopt pursuant to the bill is subject to his discretion , and the secretary of the treasury is authorized to make any reg ulations needful to carry the act into effect. The measure gites the president all the authority ho asked for in his mes sage to congress , and if it shall bucomo a law ho will bo clothed with tne power to proclaim absolute commercial non- intercourse between the United Stales and Canada whenever the circum stances may arise which in bis judg ment would justify such notion. It is a great power to confer upon the executive , since its in judicious exercise might not only bring great injury to vast material interests , but precipitate n war between the United States and Great Britain. As to the interests to bo affected by Iho exer cise of this power the northwest IB pecu liarly concerned , though as Representa tive White , of Now York , contended , the posbiblo injury to bo inflicted by an extreme nolicy of retaliation would not be limited to the people and the com mercial interests of the northwest. Re- girding the pobsibility of such a policy eventuating in war , there has been sotno idle bravado indulged in which would bolter have been omitted from the dis- cuBbion. The remark of Mr. Wilson , for example , that should war bo de clared "a gunboat of Great Britain would scarcely have time to reach our shore before Canada would be a part of the United Stated , " was neither sensible nor patriotic. If Great Britain should decide to defend Canada's cause even to the extent' ' of going to war it is moro than probable that her gunboats would bo in a convenient place for prompt em ployment when war was declared , and wo have the very recent opinion of American navalolllcersthat the country is in no condition for such an exigency. In u serious matter of this character congressmen should wisely guard their speech and not permit zeal to override reason. It may be somewhat hazardous to con jecture regarding the course the souuto will pursue with this bill , but it is not improbable that the majority of that body will stand together in opposition to extending the power of the presi dent. This is the reasonable inference from what has already been said on the subject by leading republican senators , who have argued that the president has sutliciont authority under the act of March , 1887. In any event it ia hardly likely that the senate will act in the matter at the present session. Mean while it will bo interesting to observe how the action of the house will be re ceived in England and Canada. Maine To-day. The Maine election takes place to day , and the result will bo awaited with great interest by the whole country. The campaign has been ono of the most active and vigorous on both sides in the history of the fctato , and has boon con- duclod with reference wholly to national issues. Mr. Blnino has been speaking almost daily since ho returned to the state , every whore libtcur.'d to by largo and enthusiastic crowds , and at least i ( score of other exponents of republican principles have kept the campaign fires burning with unwonted vigor. The democrats have also hud a numerous body of able sponknrs expounding their policy , and it is not to bo supposed without some olToct. Republican success , however , is con fidently expected , and there is good reason why it should be. Eight yoais ago the republican plurality was nearly nine thousand and Blalne hud a plu rality of twenty thousand. At Iho last general election the republican candi date for governor received nearly thirteen thousand plurality , the aggre gate vote being loss than two years bo- foro. The professed hope of the demo crats of carrying the state this year does not appear to bo founded upon any substantial facts in the political sit uation there , nnd it seems rca- bonably certain that the re publican plurality in to-day's election will bo not loss than that of two years ago , while the probability ie it will bo larger. A very strong effort 1ms been made to defeat Representative Rood , in the first district , and as ho was elected two years ago by n plurality of only about thirteen hundred there is a chance 6f His botnj l > 9 ( ! i Hits time. The result of the Mill no election it certain to have considerable slgnifl > ounce in relation to tlio nation ul con test , nnd to oxorcUo a inure or loss Im portant inlluuncu upon thofuturecour o of the presidential campaign. Next Con rek i , Not less important to the republican party than the election of its candidate for president is the matter of securing control of the next house of rejircboutu- tlvos , which bogluo Its existence eimuU taucoualy with the commencement of the- next presidential term , March t , 1S89. The house consists of three hun dred nnd twenty-five members , all ex cept seven of whom will bo chosen on November 0 , thodntoof the presidential eleclton. Ol the snvcn the one member from Oregon nnd the two from Vermont have already been elected , nnd Maine will cho o her four rep resentatives to-tiny , all of whom will doubtless be republicans , though the democrats are hoping to defeat Mr. Reed. During the ten years immediately suc ceeding the close of the war the house of representatives was controlled by the republicans. In 1874 the democrats elected a majority of that body , and have since continued In control of every house except that of the Forty-seventh congress , chosen in 1880. Two years later the democrats recovered control , obtaining the largo plurality in the houao of eighty-four , since which their preponderance bus declined , being re duced to forty-throe in 1881 and at the the last election to the present plurality of fifteen. There is good reason to expect that the popular branch of the Fifty-first congress will bo republican. GaiiiH of republican representatives arc confi dently counted upon in Now York , Pennsylvania , Ohio , Illinois and Ne braska , and it is more than probable there will bo some in other states. Quito generally the republicans , wher ever they have so fur made their nomi- mtions , have shown a duo appreciation of the importance of electing a major- "ly of Iho next hou.se bysoleouaj jtrong aud In all respects available men. This should be , the rule of ac- Lion wherever republican candi dates riro yet to be chosen. The experi ence of twelve years With the popular branch of congress in control of the democracy ought lo have convinced the people that the time for a change is at hand , nnd it is not questionable that a majority of them arc so convinced , but their interest will not be enlisted in be half of candidates who have not the strongest claims to their respect and confidence. The outlook is most favor able for the success of the republican national ticket , and if the right sort of men are nominated in the congressional districts it is more than probable that the republican party will bo In control after the 4th of next March of the legis lative brunch of the government. A UKi'OiiT of the imperial emigrant commissioner of Germany for 1887 has recently been transmitted to the slate department and gives reliable informa tion regarding the movement of Ger mans to America. Hamburg , Bremen and Stollin are Iho throe principal ports from which statistics have been col lected , and the report stales that the number of Gorman emigrants for 1887 was again on the increase as compared with the previous year. It has been regularly observed that , ex cept in 1870-71 , when emigration was greatly stimulated owing to the Franco- Prussian war , the number would in crease for a period of years and then decrease again for some time. In 1872 German emigration reached the remark able figure , 154,281. Jn 1877 the num ber fell to 41,824. Since the year ISiO the number 1ms not fallen below 160,000. The years 1881,1882 , and 18S.5 murk the maximum when the emigration averaged over 225,000 for each year. It fell again during the next three years. For 1887 the number was 172,452. There is no doubt that emigration will bo stim ulated during the present year owing to the failure of crops in Europe. In this respect 1888-89 is likely to equal the 1881-82 rate , when the high price of food Drought the unusually large number of 247,000 Germans to our shores. Tim Indians of the extreme north west arc reported to bo spoiling for a fight. For the past few months the tribes on the various reservations have been fed and polled inordinately for the purpose of creating a general good fooling toward the government pending negotiations for the opening of the Sioux reservation in Dakota. The consequence - sequence is that the Sioux in Montana uro fooling their oats and have rubbed on their war paint for a jamboree. In case of an uprising ot the various tribes on the Montana reservations , it would not bo a surprise if the defection spread among the Sioux of Dakota. Although the quarrel seems to bo con fined to the Indians themselves , when once on the war-path the painted sav age ? would cause no end of trouble to the white settlers who should fall in their way. It is necessary that this warlike spirit bo nipped in the bud. For that purpose the soldiers at the various military posts along the upper Missouri have been detailed to chock any hostile movement of the Indians from their reservations. Tin : republicans of the Fifth Massa chusetts district have nominated Gen eral N. P. Banks for congrobo , and as the republican plurality in that district two years ago was over thirty-three hundred the veteran statesman will un doubtedly bo returned to the scone of his former usefulness us a legislator. General Banks is seventy-two years old but ho Is still n halo and vigorous man , apparently with much good work loft ii : him. His record as a statesman and soldier is familiar to the country , and is un entirely honorable If not an ex ceptionally brilliant ono. After all the years ho has passed In the public ser vice his last olllco being that Of United States marshal General Banks is a poor man , u fact that amply attests his honesty. Even democrats who honoi personal worth will be glad to see the veteran back on the floor of congress. The proposition that the city should oiirry the rlbk of its school buildings by dropping Its flro Insuvnnco. } s a voi' . ; questionable ono. While tho. olTort of the board to resist exorbitant insurance rates Is commendable. WQ doubt the wis dom of taking clmncos on the burning down of any of our largo * school build ings for the bake of saving twenty-five hundred dollars a your , In no event should the high school building bo loft uninsured. That. structure cost over two hundred thousand dollars.

CMiVKhANU may have a libel suit to answer for as a result of his re- lections In R pension case. General Browne , of Indiana , will try to Intro duce a potitto'n In the house this week iraylng for the power to sue the presl- lout for libel. Ho is championing the cause of Mary Ann Dougherty whose > onslon bill the president vetoed on the ground that she was a disreputable character , having jcen in-rested seventeen times. A thorough investigation has boon mndo of the Indianapolis police court reoords where the arrests uro said to have taken place and only one instance , and that twenty years ago , can bo found where a Mary Ann Dougherty hud been ar rested. Of course a democratic house n-ill not entertain tlio proposition of General Browne. Tin : democrats of the Erie , Pennsyl vania , district , would not accept Mr. William L. Seott's refusal to again bo a candidate for congress , and after can vassing the merits of several aspirants ronominatcd Scott. He will probably make the run , but although ho will doubtless spend money moro lavishly than over before , the chances are that ho will bo beaten. There have boon some very ugly disclosures made re cently regarding the business relations ol Mr. Scott and his treatment of workingmen - ingmen which will bo vary likely to exert an Inlluenco against him that his money cannot wholly overcome.

No rest for the weary has been the watchword there all the day long. After doing their lovcl best it was found lo bo im possible to got the exhibits ready for the formal opening to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock. Yet the work is ahead of that of last jear , notwithstanding there liavo been over one thousand moro en tries to provide for. The state fair grounds hnvo boon n veritable boo hive for the past three days. A vast work has lM3on done but there is still much to do. Entries have been coming In since early morning. Every train swells the number of s-omo ono of the classes. But unless , perchance , a place has to bo provided for Iho arrivals , this arrange ment is made in very short order , and the preparation work is nearer the goal. It Is quite probable that "it is finished" can bo said before the sun sinks behind the western hori/on. But it will take hard and earnest work.

The B. & M. objects to putting in a depot at Emerald , this county. For answer to the complaint of J. W. Castor the Burlington says that the village had ample accommodations for the pas- bungcr and freight tranic of that place ; that during the past year the business done at Emerald , both passenger and freight , only amounted to $ Gli8. : > 5 , as shown by exhibit and made a part of the answer. The defendant denies each and every averment of the plain tiff not specifically admitted , and asks that the nlaintilT's bill of complaint be dismissed , alleging that the volume of bu&iness done there will not justify or warrant the defendant in building a depot and freight house other than is "already provided. J. R Van Buskirk , of Alliance , comes in with a now complaint against the Burlington regarding excessive charges on separators , horse powers and other farm implements , and prays restitution on all extortions. The com plainant goes into Uotuil , making marked exhibits of all charges from Iho original place of shipment to the final dcistination.seUing up excessive charges whenever they become apparent. This complaint , however , has been before the board before , and comes back in amended form , possibly bettor stated in letrul diction. Mr. Van Boskirk thinks that ho has been wronged out of 880 or more , and seeks restitution and such other rcflrcss us the state board of trans portation may deem it just to order. Notice of the complaint will bo served on the Burlington to-morrow. riiocinioiNus IN QUO V/AKIIANTO.

AN HOUR AT TIIK I'KN. Quilo recently TIIK BIE representa tive enjoyed a drive out to the state pen in company with Mr. W. II. Dor- gan and his hospitality while thoro. First visits to institutions of this kind are always interesting . An hour with the luwlesi can bo enjoyed , but one wants lo feel that ho is not hazarding life and property. But this security is always given when sheltered by the arm of the law , nnd especially when surrounded by guards nnd the great stone walls of a prison. Whatever may have boon the discipline at Nebraska's pen during any portion of Iho past , it is certain that it is all that can bo asked now. Warden flyers has affairs reduced to a perfect system. The convicls cer tainly respect his mandates nnd per form the duties they are bidden to do remarkably well. Prison punishments are not light. The disposition of con vict labor is most jealously guarded by Mr. Dorganand ho gauges his duties in a manner eminently BUllsfuclory. The prisoners have enough to enl. The food provided them is clean and sub- slanlial. Indeed , many poor laborers - borers of Iho land faro worse. The sys tems of Nebraska's prison are huinlino , but firm nnd unyielding , and liiBiirri'C- tidnb are low nnd fur between. When ever d mooting occurs it can ho traced to natural Insubordination rather than to the careless management of those who have the care of the state's crimi nals in hand. Both Warden Hoyors and Mr. Dorgan tire clearly of this opinion. .TKWISIt SEUVIt'KS.

THE MIGHTY SWORD. Various Processes NectMsnry Dcforo n TriiKty Itlndo In Produced. A correspondent writing from Solln- gen , Germany , to Iho 1'ittsburg Dis patch , gives the following interesting details concerning the nmnutucture of swords : "Iloro you are , " ho said , "tee if you can knock a piece out of the sword on that stone. " I took the handle In both hands and struck tlio slono with all my might. Hut to my astonishment a piece How oil the st no , while the sword did not show even the least evidence of the blow. "Every ono of ihobo weapons has to stand that tc&t11 was informed "or wo do not , iut the murk of our firm on it , nnr do wo deliver it as a llrst-class weapon. " I wont all through this factory , which employs over 1,000 men exclusively In the manufacture of line weapons. They nro now Illllng an order for the Gorman government of a now bayonet. Eight hundred thousand arc to uo mndo , and the linn delivers 1,000 a day. The weapon Is twelve Inches long , and Iho government pays six murks for each of thorn when finished. Ueforo a piece of stool is converted Into an instrument of war it has to go through qutlo a process. To show mo this Mr. Koch took mo into n largo space at ono end of the factory , whore I nt once noticed pieces of steel varying in length from ton to twenty foot bland- ing nil around the walls. In the center of the room stood a largo machine , whore one man and a boy Wore occu pied. WlinUI ! TIIK STEEL IS CUT. "This is whom the stool Is cut before It has received a stroke yet Inward the shape of a sword , so we mlghl call this the storeroom for raw malarial. " Thus iiiykind informant began his explana tion , " "Tun lone pieces of steel , which wore about two and OnO-hnlf Inched wide , wore then put under 'ho ' muohino and by the lurnint , ' of u crank pieces of about twelve Inflicts full ono after the other I n to a basket. The boy then handed the man another pleeo of steel , put an empty basket under the machine and i-iirrloil the short pieces Into an Adjoin ing apartment. We fo'.owcd and from the number of fires nil nround I guessed Uint wo must have arrived nt the forges. And so it was. Each ono of these pieced of steel was put into the fire , nnd , when it was white with heat , a hi an nut It under n ( .team hummer , which struck the heated stool in rapid succession about twenty times on every pirticlo : of its surface. When it was pull nil out the iileeo was about eighteen inches long , It wns now thrown inlo n largo barrel filled with water. Now the woutd-bo sword had gone through the hardening procehS , anil a number of boys gathered them again inlo bushels to carry them to the rolling department. In tlio front of each of these rolls I had mv attention called to a big coke lire. This lire was stirred up to an enormous bent , and then the pieces of steel were ono by ono put Into tlio liro. There nro two men occupied nt each roll , viz : the roller nnd tils hel | > or. As soon as the steel is hot ngnln It comes under the roll , from where it emerges about one-eighth of an inch thick , nnd the eventual shupo of thu sword stamped on It. TO TIIK CKNTKIl IMIKS KS. Again the pieces of steel nro carried off , and this time they go to the eontor presses , where they are put inlo a con trivance which cuts the margains oil the steel , and when they leave liero you can heo thnt the thing looks like u sword. Hitherto , * however , you have scon nothing but a dark blue piece of dirty stool , while wo now como Into Iho de partments whore the metal is bright ened. There is nt first the "grind mill. " This is a largo place which i , looks like a barn. From one end of the room to the other I observed rows of im mense grindstones , some of them eight feet in diameter. In this factory I saw forty stones , nnd in front of ouch sat a grinder. Ho has a little wooden sent , weurs u woolen shirt , no cap , nnd n pair of overalls. But over the latter up to his knees ho bus wooden gaiters , made out of four pieces of wood. Ills feet nro inclosed in wooden shoes. The stones are turned by steam and watered auto matically. In the front of this slono Iho iniin sils from 0 o'clock In Iho morn ing until twelve o'clock at noon. Then ho hns an hour for dinner , when ho sits down again from 1 o'clock until ( i in the evening. Ho hns n boy who brings him the instruments ns he wants them. The grinding department is the most important in the onli'-o factory , nnd the grinder hns to bo very skilful. He has to have u keen eye ; ho must know when to press the steel hard against the etono and when not. A i binplo scraping of the stone too much spoils the whole weapon , and It has to bo thrown away. Most of the oilier work is mechanical , while hero it is in telligence that docs the work satisfnc- lorialy. I'UOM TIIK OHIND-STONIJ the piece of steel comes bright nnd sharp. It is now taken to the burnish ing rooms. This part of the work is ehioily performed by boys , who vary in ago from twelve to sixteen years. In this place there are unumborof wheels , but they are very small. Some of them are of stone , others are covered with leather , which , if the article has to ro- celvo aKlish | , is covered with u powder which lends the blade a bright polish. The knob and the back of the handle are now brilliantly burnished , and the weapon is al ready very dangerous , but still it is un finished. The different holes which are made in the handle , the ono which fastens the blade on Ihe gun. and sev eral others , are now bored. This is done , however , by machinery , and lakes but a very short lime. Then the handle is covered with leather , nnd now that the blade ilsclf is thoroughly completed , it is taken to the controll ing room. In this department we find , as a rule , a number of old men who hnvo been at work for the firm for long years. They nro not able to do actual hard work , but still in this department tlioir ser vices are indispensable. Their duty is , in fact , to examine the article and see whether there is a blemish anywhere. As soon us ho dotecls a flaw ho knows whore it was done , whether in the burnishing , the grinding , the rolling , or any other department , und the man who is found to have mndo the mialuko has to make it good , or , in other words , ho has to pay for tlio damage. The llnllwayH of Germany. New York Sun : The railroad stations all over this country are models of con venience and pretension. The meanest local train on a German railway receives a degree of consideration and honor thnt would stagger the engineers of the Chicago limited. The railroads are run entirely by the government , and every thing connected with them shows the impress of military rule. The stations are surrounded by small parks , In which there are fountains , flowers nnd nrtisti- cnlly nrrungcd hedges. The station building is often the most preten tious ono in the town , nnd there ig usually attached to it n largo restaurant with several waiters in the conventional claw hammer coals. Brond walks made of grunilo and marble and relieved from monotony by designs in mosaio stretch along on either side , nnd there is an air of spick and span brightness about ev erything in sight. As the train draws into tlio station the waiters stand in nn orderly row nt the entrance to the din ing room. They hnvo all boon soldiers every man in Germany has served n number of years in the army and they stand in a militnrv attitude , with their hands ut their Hides and their chins up. Directly in front of the main entrance stands tlio captain of the station. Hia rank is indicated by a red cap. Hi uniform Is exceedingly showing , and often becoming for the men ah u rule nro stalwart and woll-formod. Ho wears high-heeled boots , dark blue trousers , i (4 relieved by a red stripe , a double- In-ousted military frock coat , with u gold bolt and rows of brass buttons. Ranged behind him uro the guards , who nro also In uniform , but whom ) cnpa nro dnrk bluo. After the train coiliea lo a hall the chief guard jumps lo the ground mill salutes the Klnllon muster , Then the other men stop forward and the work of loading and unloading tlio train porn on with conventional Toutonlo solidity. It In the duty of ono of the guurilH to walk along the Iniin nnd rub nil the dust from the dbor bundles nnd other brass workso Unit In the coin-so of the journey tlio metal becomes - comes brilliantly polished. When the train is ready for dopurtn.ro the guards salute the station master npnin , and ho takes u whlfitlo from his bolt and blows It twice. Upon this another guardwho I'i is stationed nt the other end of Iho plat form , rings a Jiuco boll three tlmosund then , with another salute by way ol courtesy , Iho train moves on its way. This is only un Indication of the mili tary spirit which porvudos Germany in every direction. Not n Prtvorlio of Fortune. Life : "Young tnun.
