Oviilt forty millions have been addci to the volume of the currency in circu lation during the past twelve months It has created no glut in the inonej market as the expansion of business ha : easily absorbed that amount. TUK September states have spoker 31 with no uncertain sound. If the states north of Mason and Dixuu'd line , in No vember , follow the examples s > ot by Ver inont and Maine , Mr. Cleveland wil lake a buck seal , or go a flailing. Tillannun' demand for money neces sary to move western crops to the sen board nas already sot in. Last wool the bank reserves in Now York de creased Hvo millions , bringing the sui plus on hand in those banks down t about eleven millions. In oonsoquenc the interest for loans has advance somewhat which is liable to stiffen rate all over the country. PljUQKVMnyor Gleason of Long Islan City , who pulled down a depot of the Lon Island railroad a few weeks ago , has wo hif fight. The company dropped its sui against the mayor for malicious dcstruc tion of property , and has given bond that it will remove its tracksinfrinprin on city property within ninety days. ] goes without saying that Mayor Glea o has made himself solid for rc-electio by his courageous course , and it woul bo a good thing if the oxccutive of othe cities cursed with railroad dominatio would imbibe a little of his spirit. Sltotn-D a member of the board < public works remove his family res donee from Nebraska to Kansas o Iowa , the law would thereupon doclar him ineligible to oflico in this falate am city. Mr. Mnyuo has taken up his re ; idenco in Council I51ulTs , and is n longer a eiti/en of Omaha or Nobrask ; It is not necessary to diecubs the motiv Mr. Maync may have for turning hi back on Omaha. It is the duty of th mayor and city council to accept the si uatlon as Mayno hau made it , an promptly appoint a man qualified to su ccod him as member of the board < I public works. TIIKUK is obviously some dofe in the inspection of the work derby by the street sweepers. Month aftc month , year in and year out. the boar of public works and the council ai forced to waste a great deal of valuabl time in the consideration of tholr bill The City engineer inspects the work an reports certain streets imperfect ! swept , others swept and the refuse m removed , otc. In this shape it gosa the board and the members are i volvcd in an almost endless dlscussic us to what deductions should bo mat i- from the contractors' bills. Some 01 - should have authority to say wheth full pay , half pay or no pay at i should bo allowed in each case. THK result of the republican conve tlon of the Twenty-fourth senator ! district , composed ot the counties York and Fillmore , is a very poculii muddlo. York county was entitled cloven delegates and Fillmore to to The York delegates were instructed vote for Charles II. Kockley for stn senator , and the Fillmore men wore f P. S. Real. This insured the nomin tlon ot Keekloy , but there was o ; traitor in York's camp , and on iv seer ballot Real received eleven votes Keckloy's ten. A York delegate a nouncod that there must bo a mlstal in the count , and moved that the b : lot bo declared illegal. Pending tl motion the Fillmore delegation wit drew , after which York's cloven del gates rotod in the alllrmutivo , and th < nominated Kockloy without oppositia Ths ! results in there being two ropub can candidates in the field. It is to hoped that the dlfllculty will bo tottl satisfactorily ivnd Immediately. Chart R. Konkloy has proved himself too goi a man in the state senate to bo MO flood on account of a potty rivalry I twecii two counties. Meaning of the Onlnx It is important to considerlliu i inp of the republican gains in Vermont and Mnlti" . The plurality in the former btato tit the lntu elootlon l the largest ihieo tlif war. Two yonr * ago it was a little over twenty thousand , t > o that the republican gain this yenr IH eomowlwt above eight thousand. Vermont gains very slowly In population , her Ineronso in the lastolght yearn not exceeding twenty thousand , Comparing the re publican gain with the increase in pop ulation it will bo scon lo bo very largo , and only to bo airmailed for upon the presumption that democrats in Vermont , like democrats In Oregon , revolted agtiinst the tariff policy of the administration asdo- iincd in the Mills hill , while the patri otic sons of the Green Mountain state were not mlbled by the retaliation blus ter of the president. The republican plurality in Maine promise * to oxccud that of any election blnco 1800. It will certainly be greater than any slnco that year except that given for Hluinu four years ago. The name Issues that appealed to the voters of Vermont were presented to those of Mnine. and republican gains in the Int.- ter state can no more bo As cribed to incronbo ot population than in the formor. The only reasonable - able hypothesis , therefore , Ls that sev eral thousand Muino democrats re jected both the tariff and retaliation policies of the administration. What is the rational inference from this , if not that democrats in othm % states will numerously follow the example of those in Vermont , Maine and OregonV There is obviously no reason why an issue that has carried tliousandsof democrats into the repub lican ranks in these states shall not exert a like influence in the other states , and there are very strong indi cations that it is everywhere having that effect. Thr Attorney Oonornl't Protest. The protest ot Attorney General Loose against the late action of the htato board of transportation in post poning for two months the operation of the rate order issued two months ago , will have th < approval of the great ma jority of the prvplo of Nebraska. No clearer o.xani | l of the potency of rail road influence has over been presented than was made manifest in the last action of the board of transportation. The order ibsuou by the board in July to the railroads , requiring them to readjust their schedule ol rates on a more just and equitable basis , relatively to rates prevailing in other states' , was made , as the attorney general says , after duo deliberation. The railroad companies have furnished no evidence and shown no rea son in justification of their failure to obey the order , nor have they made any request for a postponement. They have argued , as they were expected U do , against the authority of the board and the legality of the order , and they have had recourse to cverj legal technicality , but thcj have offered nothing in the nature of evidence to show that tin rates ordered by the board are not fail and reasonable. Now the pretense is sprung that the board should not proceed to enforce it ; order until it has found certain facts re garding the cost of the roads , and whicl the companies are to bo given tw < months to furnish. Reasonably am justly the attorney general awkt , wh ; this information has not boon obtninec before , and having given cnndjd consideration sidoration to the whole matter h < reaches the belief , which will bo ver ; generally acquiesced in that the ad journmcnt of the euso for tin reasons assigned is a subterfuge , having some other objeci in view than tha stated. The members of the board responsi bio for this action are Secretary Laws Auditor Babcock and Commissiono Scott , the chief responsibility rostin ; upon the flrat named. Under whatovc influence Laws made a complete changi of front , and there are others beside the attorney general who will bo HUI prised at his course , though the "mys tory" connected with it time will doubtless less- clear up. The people of Nobrask will not bo permitted to forgot the moi who have in this matter violated thei public duty and subordinated the publi interests to those of the corporations. Now York Democratic Convention. The most important state conventioi of the year will assemble in Buffalo te day , and if all signs do not fail it wil bo the stormiest. The democrat ! party of Now York is in a more unset tied and inharmonious condition r present than it has been before in number of years , and extraordinary dii crotion and skill will bo required t prevent such a conflict between the fa < tions that will confront each other i to-day's convention as would throw th party in the state into hopeless cor fusion/ * The question of ronominating Hill the source of discord. The govornc has a strong following , doubtless th majority of the party , and it is a men earnest , aggressive and uncomproinii ing following. A considerable an terminable part of it is the liquor intoi est , which is understood to have raise a quarter of a million dollars to bo en ployod In aiding Hill. This Intorei hold a convention in Buffalo last wool ( which la generally regarded as havin had for ita prime object the Imoming i Hill. On the other hand the govenu has a considerable opposition amen democrats who are in favor of a polk of high license , and ho is bitter ! opposed by the independents for Hovcri reasons. At a mass mooting hold undi the auspices of the reform clt In Now York city a few nights ago Hi was unsparingly denounced for h many shortcomings , whllo the organs i the independents have boon acorin him Boveroly and promising the domoi racy that his ronominuticm will co tainly defeat the state ticket and put i peril the national candidatou in No York. Such is the highly interesting situ tion ot the democracy in the pivot state which renders the convention thj will meet to-day of commanding hnpov unco. The probability is that H.ill wl bo rcnomtnnted. Mr. Cleveland might have gven a different aspect to the situation , but there is reason to bellevo that ho has not dared to intttrpo t' . although it is not doubted that ho would prefer some other man. Whatever the result ot the convention shall be It appears inevit able that republican chances of carry ing Now York will bo Improved thereby. The Ill-li School Addition. The board of education has voted to usk the people for authority to issue bonds to the amount of $7t > ,0H ( ) for the construction ot an addition to the High school building. This course appears to bo necessary , owing to the fact that no part of the bonds voted last year was to be applied to enlarging the High school building , that improvement being con tingent upon the sale of school property within the district. No such property having been sold , there is no fund ap plicable to the construction of the pro posed addition to the nigh school. It is unnoeefsnry now to con sider whether or not , t mistake was made last year In the proposition submitted to the people. The condition that confronts u la urgent and must be met at once In the most pra-ctical way. It would undoubtedly bo desirable to build the addition to the high school from t lie sale of school property rather than lo issue additional bunds , provided such property could bo sold at a fail- valuation. But this the board has boon . ( liable to do , and probably could not of- ect at present. Recourse to tin issue f bonds seems therefore to bo clearly ecessiry , and unquestionably the poo- ile will approve the proposition. The duentionnl welfareus well as the conve- once and comfort of hundreds of chool children is at stake. It is a slt- ation that must steadily grow worse ntil the required facilities are pro- idod. When the people fully under- land this they will give the board the authority it asks for. Meanwhile the hope may bo expressed hat the board , when provided with the 'Hilda ' it requires for the projected tiddl- ion , will oxerclbO due care that none of t shall be wasted on experimental ) lnns , improper work , the delays of ontraetors or otherwise. There has xson a great deal ot useless extravagance n ono way and another in connection ivith school building in Omaha so that the demand for greater care and vigil- nice in future is not without warrant. Our schools can bo first-class in con struction and equipment without sonse- 'ess extravagance and rockle&s waste of money. Poou's Manual of the Railroads of the United States for 1888 gives valu able information regarding the railroad world during last year. The general exhibit shows that the year 1887 was oinarkably prosperous. Over thirteen thousand miles of road were built , inak- ng a total mileage up to the first of January , 18SS , of nearly ono hundred and fifty thousand miles. The total as sets for the year were more than nine billions of dollars , the liabili ties for the same period were eight billion nine hundred millions , leaving a gain to the railroads of over three hundred millions. The gross earnings of the railroads was ono hundred and cloven millions more than in 1880. The increase in mileage fet 1887 over 18SGvns 9.7 per cent ; in liabilities 0.2 ; in gross earn ings 13 ; in not earnings 11 , The now railroad construction of the first half of 1888 amounts to 2,300 miles located principally in the south , south west and on the Pacific coast. While this is a largo figure for the first half of the year , most of it is the completion of the unfinished work o last season. What the total construc tion for 18SS will come to is as yet con jectural. A conservative estimate places it for the whole year at about si > thousand miles , or about half of thi number of miles of track laid in 1887. TICK Young Men's Christian n&socia tion have devised u popular scheme foi inviting subscriptions to its building fund. The sum ot twenty thousand dollars is immediately wanted , ton thousand to complete the building am ten thousand to furnish it with a irym- nasium. lecture rooms , library am other necessities. This last appeal tc the public of Omaha and vicinity shoult not bo in vain. The cause is a mos worthy one , and a contribution , no matter tor how small , coming from everybody would soon swell the subscription to tin desired amount. When completed tin Young Men's Christian as ociatioi building will not only bo an oriuvmon to the city but will become an nttrnc live home for thousands of our younf men. Ita gymnasium , library , froi reading rooms , lectures and the like will bo open to the people irrospeetivi of creed. A more nominal sum will pa. for a yearly membership in the institu tion. Conducted as it is in th cities of the east , the Youni Men's Christian association wil become a popular club surrounded will a healthful moral atmosphere. An in Htitutlon of such a character has ion ) been needed in Omaha , and its complu tion should not bo retarded for luck c funds. Lot everybody send in his mil so that the building may bo dedicate ! with the opening of the now year. Political I'oluiH.

Kansas City Star : It does not require great battles or events of national importance to bring out the natural traits of some people. This morning a small but strongly built bulldog dnyhed into the middle of Delaware street near Sixth. Foam dropped from his jaw , and his blood-shot eyes rolled wildly as lie yelped and barked fiercely. lie was mad as a March hare. The'dog dashed blindly forward and seized ono of the Hpokcsota rapidly moving bugg'y when ) with his tooth , and was whirled through the air against the ground with foreo enough to stun a horse , but it only served to make him dart about moro madly and howl and growl moro fiercely. Pedestrians stopped , looked at the dog a minnto and then Hod for safety. Women shrieked and made the best possible time for adjoining stores. One old lady , with surprising agilityclimbed into a buggy standing near.

London Truth : However hard just now the lines ot the Irish patriot , I think the Irish minor oHlclal la ovrn moro to bo pitied. Many of these poor creatures , born of honest parents , would bo honest themselves if they dared. They do not like eating dirt , they only cut it because there is nothing else to eat. Take for instance , the example of that poor man , Dr. Hidloy of Tullamoro. I think his case is , in some respects , even sadder than that of the patriot whom ho helped lo mil to death. Dr. llidloy would evidently have boon rather a superior sort of doctor in a place say an English country town. lie plainly know moro about his busi ness than the nvcrngo practitioner ; at any rate , ho knew moro about it thnu Dr. Uarr did. ills iiiatincts nnd gen eral ehnractor , lee , appear to have boon good and amiable. Uut , unfortunately ho WUH young , ho lacked solf-confiuenco , and he cniihi not nflord lo quarrel with his bread and butter. Jt was an easy , ( but assuredly a dirty ) taslc for the cnstlo ollleinls , w'ith their swaggering English doctor , to bully the poor youth out of his own judgment and make" him distrust his own science , whleh was in reality a great deal deeper than theirs. Uoforo long they had him half - that - his pei-Miadod pot-Imps own ( ns it turned out , perfectly correct ) opin ion was wrong , an .1 then they got him to be an accoinplico in the cruelty on which they were bent. Then , when , the victim , whom the young doctor in' his heart know could not stand "punish ment diet , " was dead by punishment dial , the full horror of the villiany in in which ho had boon coerced to con nive , first broke upon his mi so ruble ac complice , and ho full that there wan no course open to him but lo cut his throat. and AincrlcniiVlvoo. . An American ludy , who evidently does not hail from Chicago , writes as follows to a London paper : "An Eng lish married woman in your upper classes as a rule , catechises and eross- queslions her luckless husband when ho comes home , worn out , from the hoiiMt of commons or from u race course ' 01- from the eit.vnnd sooner or Inter ho him recourse to evasions or omissions or sub terfuges from very wonrlnessof her vex atious Interrogatories , The happiness of English marriages has boon wrecked by the huabat.d insisting upon knowing everything that the wifu has done or said or thought since they last met , nnd by the wifu ' being equally ox- acting. Tlio fault of your hus band is that , when rich , they have not enough to do , and hang about their homes until their wives are ti rod to death ( if tholr pres ence and companionship. No homo ran , in my opinion , be happy unless the hus band IB invuy from it everyday for many hours. In the United States wo Imvci no idle men. Our wives , on the other hand , have time without end to dispose of , and their husbands think It the most natural thing in the world that Uioso vacant hours should bo filled upund Biiunt as the wives ploiuio. In England llie rotns are rarely left untlghloned on a wife's neck , and bho Is often tempted lo slip hoc muzzle. In America wives Imvo no reins and no muzzles , nnd never seek to fix either on tholr hue- bands. Until Englishmen of the higher classes conform in this rosnoct to our easy going American wnyntlujra will bane no surcease of divorced .and matrimonial scandals among you.
