Itright lights gleamed ns usual from the jnr-rooms Tuesday night nnd softer rays itrug-gle l round the heavy curtains nnd , hrough the half closed shutters in thohomes of Ihe domi monde , but somehow to out ward appearances the burnt district had an uunat- urul and fnr-from homo look.

The destination of the hacks and wagons was us Mined us their appearance and con- lents Some only went to Howard , Jack son , Thirteenth , Seventeenth and North Slx- leenlh streets , but some of them were billed us fur north as Cuining. They were patron- bed by the hoarders wlio hud determined to try their fortunes as roomers in quarters w'here they would not for u moment be tolerated - orated If their antecedents wei'e known. Others , but very few of them , had eiders for Ih'1 various depots , nnd LincolnBeatrice , Fremont , D.ivonpm-t and Sioux City were nmong the places to whicti their trunks were shipped. Still moro were en gaged in the moving ot furniture and intiilu numerous shoi t ti ips between the proscribed district and that lying north of Ciipitol avenue. In one , nnd In ono case only , did n landlady with a few of her boarders leave town , and she was bound for Valen tine. The others tire still in Iho city , still in the business , and where they can do still ir.oro harm , while the police will have still moro trouble to keep track of them. Ttio shades of evening brougnt out many of the male persuasion , who had looked upon thu burnt district as their own especial stumping ground , but they scorned to have- no life to work a sucker or anything olseand spent their time in sponging what drinks they could and listen ing to the tuneless notes of pianos that sounded out strangely distinct on the deserted streets. They seemed to have tree entry to the houses , but in time they gave place to I lie roundurs who were sup posed to have money und to bo on a farewell tour of the old-timo joints. These , however , wore closely scriitml/ed , and only "frauds" nnd those who were on intimate terms with the Inmates , were admitted , while Iho others joined the crowds that surrounded the Salva tion Army on its triumphal march , or sought solace in beer. Kloven o'clock brought out the theater goers , and many who prefer darkness rather than light , and for a time the streets were their old-timo appearance , but by-and-by they , too , were lost to sight , and the streets were deserted , except when once in a while n "chippie" would rush from a dive or a wine- room , and with her escort catch a car going to some more anstocralic spot. Twelve o'clockand the saloons were closed nnd the streets were crowded once more , but this time with these who had drunk nil night to drown their sorrow. Tholr stay on the street was but short , however , for the rain drops that seemed to fall in sympathy with their feelings grew larger nnd heavier , until at length they were forced to seek shelter in some more congenial spot. Then ns the lights at the saloons turned low , those in houses gleamed moro brightly. Shutters were thrown back und windows opened to lut out the tobacco smoke and to admit the fresh air. Ked curtains flared do- tlRiitly for the last time , and strains of music mingling with the clink of glasses and pop ping of corks told that the last night was to bo a jovial ono. The partial removal of furniture - nituro nnd the absence of many of the "la dies" from some of the houses , rendered nn early closing necessary , but in the olhers , Iho revelry was kept up until the "wee sma' hours. " "When are you going to move ? " was asked of n landlady of one of the latter. "Oh , about the 20th , but Ml close up to morrow , and keep quiet. I can't get into my new house until then. Some of the girls will stay with me" , but most of them have friends , und will go rooming , and when I get setlled I'll send for them. " "And nro you going to stuy ? " was next asked of one of the aforesaid "girls. " "Not much might as well be in Jail for madam is awfully afraid of the police , and would not let us out I know nor. " " \ \ hat nro you going to do going nwayi" "Oh , it's news you want. No , I'm ' not going away that is , not far. I knew this was coming and I made a mash last weoit.

" "What nro you giving usl No. Ho looks like a good young man , und ho won't ' tell me where his oftlcc is , but you but I'll lind out , " nnd she made n break for the back parlor where someone was ordering "another bottle ol wine. " "What do you think of this removal ! " was next asked of a storekeeper in the neighbor hood. "Well , I don't know that it will do any good , " ho said. "It may be. all right to clear Douilus and Dodge streets , becutiso thcro Is a certain amount of respectable tralllc on them , but none of it over comes down to this end of Capitol avenue , ami for one I think it would have been better to have kept them where the police could lind them rather than to have them seittcrcd among all the re spectable families in the city. " Then the reporter struck for the ofllco , and on his way lound thai Iho exodus hud not been without trouble. Ono landlady had Just established herself on North Klevcnth street , when n jealous rival broke all her windows , nnd Kansas City LU threatened to "havo de meat" of Cadie Thomas because Cadio would not return a ring that Cadie had borrowed before the order for removal was given.

Mr lilulno addressed the al Kuthontif1 as follows : "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens ; ' .Stop thief is a pry not entirely eonllned to crimi nal classes. A counterpart of the trick is known to political strikers and is especially noticeable In the present course of the demo cratic party ivspeotint ; trusts. In I'restiliint Cleveland's famous free trade message of last December he warned the country of the dangers ol trusts , and argued that they were the oilspring and result of the protective system established by the republican party. At the same time , while assailing in the wide sweep of his accusation almost every indus trial interest in the north , the president was particularly careful to bo silent respecting the enormous tariff on sugar. Out ol $ U12OJlOl)0 ) ) collected on importations of every kind last year over Kfo,000tXU ) came from sugar alone , which is equivalent to more than one-fourth of the customs revenue for a year. When Mr. Cleveland pennon his mes sage he knew that one of the largest trusts ever organized in the world the sugar trust was in full operation , and that , if the pro tective tariff was helpful to that trust , ho was ( riving it all the aid , both ofllcial and personal , in his power. If the words of his message are true is ho himself not responsi ble for levying these millions upon the pock et bof all the consumers of this country for an article of universal use among the fami lies of the lumli [ Cheers and cries of "That's so."J Nor was Mr. Cleveland's ' si lence the only boon which the sugar trust re ceived. When the Mills bdl was under con sideration the president of the sugar trust ( Mr. Havcm yer ) , a well known active democrat of New Vork , appeared before the ways and moans committee , and. accord ing to a statement made in open senate by Mr. Allison of Iowa , obtained such an arrangement of the duty as was equiva lent to $ r.,0)0C03 ( ) in the pockets of the trust , f Sensation. ] If , therefore , the price of sugar lias been unduly advanced to the consumer , the responsible parties , according to the ' doctrine the himself president's , are president self and the ways and means committee , which concocted the Mills bill in the Interest of that trust. I think , moreover , that wher ever you lind ono of the necessities of life cornered and controlled by an association of men for the purpose of reaping undue profit , you will find the supporters of Mr. Cleve land at the head of the movement. "Sugar may , indeed , be accounted a luxury , for wo can exist vvithout it , but salt is ono or the primal necessities of life. We all know that a salt trust exists in this country , and tuo man who is now at the head of it , openly and avowedly conducting its affairs , is , Wellington U. I3urt , the present democratic candidate for governor of Michigan. Mr. Burl is earnestly advocating the removal of all duties from salt. Tills would s > eem to bo another form of contradiction of tno presi dent's theory that protection is the lirst cause of all trusts , and it likewise fully justifies the ground taken during this can vass that trusts exist inoro freely in a free trade country than in a protective country mo'ro freely in England than in the United States. "I am fortunately able to give you a piece of information that has a strong bearing , I think , on Mr. Wellington , li. Burl's salt trust. I hold in my hands a copy of the Lon don Times of September 5 , from which I learn that they are forming a salt trust in England. The statement in the Times , quoted from two English papers locally in terested , is this : 'The efforts to form u salt trust hive succeeded beyond the most san guine expectations. All the Cheshire salt works have been provisionally acquired by the London syndicate , represented by Messrs. Fowler & Co. , solicitors of Westminster , and negotiations are proceeding favorably to the purchase of all less extensive works in Worcestershire and Durham. The capital required is lixcd at ; i,000 , < WO , and has ueen subscribed in advance many times over. In consequence of the monopoly thus cieated it is expected that the price ot common salt now sold at" shillings U pence a ton will rise to 10 shillings. ' "Let mo ask now if any man in Indiana believes that Mr. Wellington H. Hurt's salt trust in the United States and this great salt trust in England arc likely to prove rivals to each other. Do you think they will lot down prices and deprive each other of their re spective profits , when the English trust points out the way to increase the prlco of salt four-fold at a single jump ! Do you think that Wellington U. Burt is too modest a man to say 'no' to a proposition to unite the two trusts ? All the stockholders nro united in an agreement to advance salt ! IOJ per cent to the consumer in Great Britain and the United Suites. [ Applause and laughter. ] Thus you see the danger , appar ently without a remedy , that will follow an international trust organized on the basis of free trade. "Well , gentlemen , those are not the only two democratic trusts. Wo have now spoken of ono necessary luxury and ono absolute necessity , but there is another trust wield ing moro political influence perhaps than both of them. I refer to the whisky trust , which has absolutely changed the politics and policy of the democratic party , for years after the war closed ono demand of the democracy , especially in the south , was for the destruction of the internal reve nue system , and lirst and last the outrageous taxes on whisky and tobacco. They de nounced them as war taxes , to which no free people should submit in a time of peace. Well , gentlemen , the free traders , both north and south , soon saw that if the internal reve nue system were abolished , the country would necessarily rely for its revenue upon customs , as it has done for moro than a gen eration preceding the war , and that , if that were the case , It would bo diHiouli , if not impossible , to destroy the doctrine of pro tection , and so , under Mr. Cleveland , they have completely changed their ground and are for keeping up the internal revenue sys tem and breaking down the protection fea tures of the tariff. The whisky trust has thus risen , financially and politically , to national importance. I state nothing of the internal workings and its political manipula tion from my own knowledge , but 1 know democrats who declare that Mr. Ran dall , the able , upright and experienced speaker of the house of representatives , was driven from the chair and Mr. John G. Car lisle , of Kentucky , wus miulo hU successor , by a democratic caucus controlled 1 > y the whisky trust and acting under the whip and spur of its agents. Mr. Kandull's alleged olTonso was that ho would not aid in sus pending the tax laws and postponing the pay ment of the tux on whisky in bond when it seemed to the Interest of the tnut to secure a post | > onemcnt. Mr , Handall did not believe that the laws of the United States should bo administered in such a way as to promote huge speculation in whisky , and I wish some inquisitive reporter would interview -Mr. Itandull'fi political friend * on that subject , and the' ' ) ask , also , how much money the whisky trust is contributing to the demo- cratiu canvass this year , and at the same time he might extend thu inquiry into the amount contributed by the sugar trust and , also , by the salt trust , including its fellow trust In business beyond the sea. fAp- platisej.

One of the largest of them was before tno senate , and before it legitimately , and yet you know how precipi tately the democratic senators lied from the task You could not Ipad a democratic noniitor up to that investigation any more than you could Induce a breachy colt to face a whistling locomotive. [ Laugh ter and applause. ) Nor was rumor quiet as to the inter-position of the national adminis tration to suppress the Investigation. If President Cleveland had boon as eager to examine into great trusts as ho was to de nounce them all in his message , his opportu nity was thorp ; but , unless all rules be at fault , the social blandishments of the admin istration were lavished on republican sena tors to secure enough of them to Join the democrats to take oft" the curse of unanimous democratic resistance to an investigation of trusts.

If the weather is propitious the parade to morrow bids fair to bo ono of the largest demonstrations ever witnessed in this city. Very few buildings , however , are decorated for the occasion.

Wo are now facing n pro hibition movement in this state that is more broad in its purports than many of us an ticipate.Vo have among us men who have uocn driven out of Iowa and out of Kans-is by the prohibition law. They have been compelled to foriiikc property , friends and homo on account of the oppressive prohibi tion. Wo must be careful in twlecting our candidates , and our friends to represent us in the state ofllccs , among whom that of gov ernor and members of the legislature play a conspicuous part.Vo want men In the leg islature who will stand in defense of our rights before the fiercest flro of the enemy. We want men in the legislature to advocate fairness and equality to all classes , and to stand up against the demands of demagogues and political deserters We must also consider the raising of funds to conduct this campaign Wo will not need any vast amount in Douglas county , but 1 beg to in form you that near ! v every nomination made in the rural districts by the national parties is Hampered by n candidate with prohibition tendencies. I merely make this assertion to demonstrate to you that our Unlit is of no little magnitude , and that our battle ground is a largo one. " At the conclusion of the chairman's re marks , on motion , a committee of llvo was appointed to draft a series of resolutions. The following were appointed : Messrs. Ed Hothery , F. I' . O'Brine , II. Anderson , A. Grahme and G. Heller , The committee retired to an adjoining room , nnd the assembly then proceeded to an informal discussion. Chairman Dillon stated that the measures to raise funds were taken In order that doubtful districts might be visited , and the money used In the defeat of the prohibition , or submission movement. He stated that it was the desire of the anti-prohibition faction to gain a ma jority of the legislature , and to carry such plans into effect , an untiring crusade would have to made. William Sogclkc took the floor and stated that ho had boon assured of support , in no minor degree , by business men outside the saloon element. He also stated that the money thus promised by the latter clement , was to ba used outside of the Douglas coun ty contest. Frank Dellone announced to the assembly that he had assurances that a strong finan cial support , from the saloon clement outside the state , would bo rendered , and that the only way of obtaining this , wes to make an unti-prohibition light outright. The committee on resolutions then reported as follows : Wo , the liquor merchants nnd saloon keepers of Omaha and Douglas county , do condemn any class , or party , who , by law or otherwise , wish to destroy the property of these that are in the liquor business It is the sense of this meeting that we will fight all prohibition amendments , or other wise named , and give our hearty support to all who are pledged to vote ngainst submis sion of the prohibition plunk , which is a det riment to the interests and welfare of the state of Nebraska. Hesolved , That the liquor dealers and saloonkeepers , nnd otherwise connected with us , do vote and work for legislators that are pledged to defeat prohibition. That wo recommend a thorough organiza tion through the state of Nebraska , so as to put into effect these resolutions. That delegates be appointed to confer with liquor merchants and saloonkeepers , and all other branches connected , to help us to carry on the business for the welfare of the state of Nebraska. Therefore we heartily endorse these reso lutions by word and action by subscribing to n fund that shall be called the "Douglas County Liquor Merchants and Saloonkeepers Fund , " which shall bo started by those present to-night. The resolutions n drafted were adopted without a dissenting vote. F. 1' . O'Hrine took the stand. Ho said : "Aro we to stand back as representative business men with not u word to say in our own defense J Will wo wait in the back ground as fugitives , and bo driven from our homes as such , as were our brethren in the state of lowal Are we to remain quiet and allow ourselves to bo styled demons , outlaws and wretches , by a handful of parly fakirs that have been driven out of the ranks of all parties , on the ground of not even political decency ? I tell you , gentlemen , that the time has come for us to stand up and assert our rights. Wo are now standing on the brink of prohibition , and it is facing us , rest ing upon a plank in the state republican plalform. They mean prohibition , nnd when this issue consummates next election day , the eve will close upon a prohibition ami anti-prohibition contest. It is my earnest and most severe desire that the orb of light will shlno the next morning on an anti-prohibition victory. You know how this can bo accomplished. It can only bo done by the saloon element buckling on the armor , and waging war to the bitter end " C. S. Biggins stated that ho had been a republican all his life , but the plank in the platform pertaining to submission was { more than ho could support , nnd in consequence , from this on , ho would advocate democracy Jacob Her said that the .state of Nebraska was strongly republican , nnd no bragginir should bo done. Ho said it would bo all right in some instances to support the repub caii nominees , but only when they had pro nounced anti-prohibition sentiments. Great care , ho said , should bo taken in selecting this clement in order that no mistake might occur. A gentleman at this juncture made a motion to the effect that Frank Dolono , president of the State Liquor Dealers' Asso ciation bo authori/.ed to appoint two commit tees for Omaha and ono for South Omaha to solicit contrioutions for n special fund , which was unanimously carried. U was decided that nil moneys raised in this way should be used in hiring speakers and operating In the state outside of Douglas county. The following committees to solicit contri butions to the above fund in Omaha nnd South Omaha were appointed : Farnnm street , north side Frank Dolono , W. Stow , 1 * . E.
