Tlio nttnc-U on Attorney General Leeso In
lastovcnlnR's Issue of the Omnlia World IIM
boon the aiiDjoct of consljorahlo comment
throughout the day In Lincoln. Mr. Locso
was sitting ut hln desk this morning , at the
hour Tin : Hni : representative miulo Ml * rounds
nt tlio stiitB liouso , unit to hit query , "Have
you read the nrUolc , nnd If so , what have
yon to sny regarding it ! " ho said :
"Yes , I luivo read the nrtlclo In the Omaha
"World , nnd will state that I Imvo neither nn
cxccMitivo ofilcor or clerk In my ofllcu. I have
n deputy nnd stenographer , but that docs not
vlnlutu the conitltutlon. The business of
this department actually requires the help
that 1 IIHVO. Much of my own time is ocrti-
pied on the various stitto hoards , and but for
the assistance Riven mo by tlio IcKlshituro
m.V olllco would bo closed most of the time ,
or the business of the state would bo greatly
impeded li.y my nbsenco nt the various board
meetings.
"Hy virtue of my ofllro I am a member of
the board of educational lands and funds ,
the board of public lands and buildings , the
stiito hoard of transportation , the board of
imrchasi.'H and supplies , and the state bo ml
of pharmacy. Knch of these boards require
n great deal of time , nml without the help I
liavc my department would go down.
"My duties also require tnu to nttoml to nil
rases in the supreme court where the state is
n party. A printed brief in each case is
necessary and requires the personal nppoar-
mice of myself or deputy. .Sixty cases have
Ttoon hriofud and picsontod to the sunrcmo
couit dui inn the last two years. In addition
to the criminal cases , more Imtiortant litiga
tion has boon successfully prosecuted in uo-
lialf of the state within the last two yo.ir *
Allan slnco the organisation of the state
prior thereto. In addition to this , more
thunl-UO thousand opinions on law questions
to publio ollleiuls throughout the Htato , have
been written from this department. I have
no clerical work in my ofllco to perform other
than that performed by myself. My deputy
is not an executive onicor , and the net of the
legislature , giving mo a deputy , is not un
constitutional.
"Tho governor Is nn executive ofllocr , nnd
appoints the state veterinary and live stock
commission , bureau of labor , and they are
not executive ofllccrs. The secretary of
state , treasurer , land commissioner , anil re
porter of the supreme court , each have a
deputy , and they are not executive odl-
cors , The state board of transportation
nppolnts three secretaries and a clerk , yet
they are not executive olllcers. The consti
tution docs not authori/o any of said ap
pointments , nor is it necessary to their
locality that it should.
"It is truu that my stenographer Is n near
relative , but the wor'c Is well done , nnd it is
not wrong to appoint one in whom conlldenuo
can bo implicitedly placed. The governor
has appointed his son as his private secre
tary. The auditor has a son nnd nicco for
clerks , The land commissioner had a sister-
in-law nnd two other relatives. The present
land commissioner has appointed a nicco.
The secretory of state had a daughter cm-
Dloyed in his ofllco , and the deputy supreme
court reporter has a sister in his olllco. Hen-
ton lias u relative la his olllco , nnd so has the
attorney goncrnl. Thcro is tin doubt but
\vlmb these appointees do their work well. I
can see no wrong in this , everything else
be i tip equal.
"I want to say in ndditlon that I Imvo not
posed as a reformer. I am selected b.v the
people to guard their Interests. I have never
by word , act or deed , favored Lincoln or
nny other locality , to the detriment of
Omaha or any other place. The atato board
of transportation decided that a complaint
inado thnt the rates on lumber from Omnha
discriminated Against Lincoln when shipped
Houth and west. There was no ono on the
board but thnt said this was true , and on
lumetlying thu matter I , with the majority ,
ordered the rates lowered from Omaha , in-
Btcrul of allowing the rates to bo raised ; the
rate charged was iib h enough , and was nil
the roads had been charging , and 1 could not
BOO any good reason why it should bo raised.
"It is true that I asked that the Uulon Pa
cific road bo foreclosed because the directors
In their lust report said the road could never
nay the debt , mid asked that the government
ilcut bo given to thorn. If the government
docs give up Its claim , it ought to bo given to
the people , nnd not to the road. The bill now
pending in congress , known as the Outh-
\valt bill , is not a good ono in my opinion.
The manner of computing the amount duo
the govern mont mnlccs the debt $17,000,000
less than the amount justly duo. There
Is no reason to bollovo that the
company would obey the now law. as every
provision of the acts of 18 < > 9 , 1873 and 1878
iinvo been disregarded. Eight millions of
collateral trust bonds Imvo been Issued , in
violation of the act of 1878 , without tno con
sent of concrcss. It had issued nnd guaran
teed Sl-1,000.000 Oregon Short Line bonds.
nnd $7,000,000 St. Joseph & Grand Island
bonds , and paid dividends while n floating
debt of some $18,009,000 , existed. The Outh-
wiiito bill extends the government debt llfty
years , thereby giving to Inferior liens a pri
ority over the government.rriou / again the
company refuses to .submit to tno laws of the
Btate , claiming exemption ny reason of being
chartered by uu act of congress. While I do
not bolicvo thnt this proposition is true , yet
the question is raised every time an order is
made b.v the board.
> "I have nothing to bo ashamed of in any of
( i I .Ely transactions. My conscience is clear.
iv nnd I propose to stand by the right , ami
mv fairly and impartially discharge my ofllcial
I \ fluty as I understand It. "
TIIHKI : HOUSES nuitNP.n.
The Jlro' alarm was turned in at a late
bour last night , but not soon enough to save
three dwelling houses discovered to ho on
llro at the corner of Twenty-second nnd 1C
streets. The buildings were too far from
the nearest hydrant to mnko it possible for
the tire department to do effective worlc.
The house in which the llro caught Is almost
in the middle of the Dlock , nnd thu whra
drove it into the two buildings on tlio cnst ,
nnd it was impossible to save either of thorn.
The boys , as usual , did good work nnd pro
voked the admiration of all who saw thorn In
thulr attempts to save the property. The
buildings were one-story cottages , built nt a
cost of nearly or quito $1,000 each ,
but the insurance on them was
light and the owners , who are poor
people , nro heavy losora in the scnso of their
circumstances. The house in which the flro
caught , was unoccupied , and the origin of the
flro Is quito n mystery. No ono was scon on
the premises and them scorns to bo no good
reason to suspect Incendiarism.

This is a funny phrase to the u nit i si

They use it when a person gives a cer
tain per cent for the option of buying
or soling stock on a fixed day , at n
price stated on tlio Any the option is
Rivon. It is often n borious operation
to the dealer but there is n nioro seri
ous "put and call" than this : when you
are "put11 to bed with a severe cold ,
and your friends "call" a physician.

The Tabooed Establishment of C. S.
ItiKKiiis Under Police Care.
A policeman dressed In full uniform and
standing sentinel over the bar room of C. S.
Hlggins , at Twelfth and Douglas streets , is
a sight that greets the gaze of callers at this
tabooed place of cheer. Slnco Tuesday ,
an onicor has been continually on guard , and
it is proposed to continue this order of things
until Higgins comes down from his stubborn
scat and complies with the mandates of the
excise board to close up. A renewal of his
license to sell splritous drinks was denied
him on Tuesday , and the mayor and author
ities who haa given him permission to keep
his place open for the sale of cigars and tem
perance drinks pending consideration of the
application for a license , supposed that ho
would ho willing u > draw the blinds of his
establishment when the final decision was
rendered. His failure to do this has boon
the incentive for placing n policeman on
guard to sco that Iliggins docs not sell Intox
icants.

Ooorgo Moore In Nntionnl Review :
Cruelty was the vice ot the ancient ,
vanity is that of the jnodorn world.
Vanity Is the last disease. To-day wo
nil Peek admiration that Is to say , ad
miration in Us original sense of wonder
ment. It matters not nt all to us if % vo
obtain approbation instinctively wo
eschew it. fearing nil that might tend
to diminish the sentiment
of wonder which wo eagerly
strive to create. The stage
therefore catches the great part of the
attention of modern society. Painting ,
music a d poetry demand special tal
ents ability is "ncmiirod to compose
even a bad opera , a Imd eplc.n bad pic
ture but anyone can play Juliet nnd
Hamlet badly ; besides , to compose
oven bad otoras , epics und
pictures , solltudo and long con
centration of thought are needed , and
with solitude and long concentration of
thought tlio young ladies and young
men of to-day will liavo nothing to do.
Desiring parade nnd wonderment , they
turn their eyes to the stage. Our generation -
oration has ceased to work ; wo all want
to llvo well , to on joy life. Everywhere
I note this uosiro. Young sons shrink
from the counting-house and shudder
at the name of Manitoba , The arts
offer them tt pretext for remaining at
homo. So the nrts are encumbered
with young men and women. The most
intelligent nnd the least carnal go to
literature , painting , sculpture , nnd
music ; the stupid , the vain ,
and the fleshy go to the
stage. Not in vocation and original
impulse must we seek the reason of the
thousands of pictures that yearly line
the walls of tlio public galleries and
the piles of novels that crowd the stalls
of the booksellers , but in vanity and
idleness ; and the dull-witted , unodu-
caled , over dressed young men who
speak of being on or of going on the
stage in Kensington and Bays-
water drawing rooms , are too
cowardly too enlist. too Ituy
to face tlio hardships ot colonial life.
They would pull plums out of tlio mum
mers ( actor's ) pie , but they will not go
into the kitchen whore it is made and
baked. . . .Tlio profession must be raised ,
otc. If I except a couple ot princesses
and a duchess in perspective , 1 know no
young lady who has not at ono time or
other expressed a regret that slio was
not an nctress. "Women are quito as
foolish and quito as vain as men
which is saying a great deal and they
desire the stage for the same reason as
their brothers. Butfor the young ladies
there is at least an o.xcuso : now that wo
have a surplus female population it is
clear that all women cannot marry , they
cannot enlist , nor yet go out to the colonies
nies and become domestic servant * . So
they sigh after the stage. "What are
wo to do with our dnughtors'1" is a vital
question. The young ladlcq ? cry in
chorus , "Put us on the stagp , mamma ; "
but mamma still hesitates , and
the question is debated : Can , Ethel ,
nnrriot , and May sing in the chorus
not in Mr. Farnio's operas , but in Mr.
Gilbert's and remain as good and pure
young ladies as if they had continued ,
to do crochet work in the drawing
room at homo ? " The parents opposed
for a vdiilo their daughters' wishes , but
in their heart of hearts they think it
would bo no bad thing if Ethel , llarr.et
and May were to earn each 30 shillings
or XiJ a week. Such is the "psycho
logical moment" in Kensington and
Bayswater , and out of it come all the
various hypocrisy , subterfuge and
sophistry which wo may read undorsuch
headings as "Church and Stage , " and
the "Social Status of the Actor. "
It is an easy matter to avoid the dis
comforts and distress of coughs and
colds by using ChamborlainUs Cough
Remedy. It is by far thn best treat
ment over brought into general use for
coughs , colds and hoarseness. When
the first symptoms of a cold appear , use
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy , and the
cold can bo broken up at once. Sold by
all druggists.
Slio Bombarded the Coiirf
Judge Bolster , ol the Roxbury police
court , Boston , savs the Chicago Tri
bune , has just had a rather novel ex
perience. Minnie Pearson , an eighteen-
year-old girl , who was before him on
the charge of drunkenness , and as she
seemed an old offender the judge hold
her for a future appearance. The do-
crco was hardly passed the lips of his
honor " when the jrirl , who it appears
was "well prepared for emergencies , let
fly a tin dipper at the judge , and hod
her aim boon accurate would probably
have marked the court's face. However -
over , the dipper flow by without effect.
This further enraged the young vixen
and she followed her first shot with an-
othorthis time sending a tin pailwhich ,
owing to the timely interposition of a
constable , also wont wide of its mark ,
though it narrowly missed the head of
the ttPsistant clerk. How the young
woman managed to carry so much tln-
ware about her is a mystery.

A Fire Put Out With Wlno.
Paris Register : It is not often that a
flro is put out with wine. This was done
last week at Krouzmachon the occasion
of a lire which broKO out at night in
the house of a largo wino merchant ,
soon enveloping the whole building.
Somosixty hogsheads of wino in the store
'which could not only not bo saved but
burstand their contents ran into a ditch
in the garden behind the house. Hero
the firemen placed their engines , with
which they poured streams of wino
upon the burning building , nnd suc
ceeded In getting the flro under con

more , as he heard these words that pro-
nnuncoil his doom. Ho would have
fallen and spoiled the carpet had he not
clutched a piaster cnst ot Hhmarok for
support. Tlio siloncc that followed was
broken by the dcop voice of old Krllz
Schwartzbrod rising from the basement.
Ho and some others of his patrician
Teuton friends were playing sixty-Hvo
in the basement dining-room , and
sturdy old Fritz wns cursing his hard
luck in oloauont Plnttdoutbcn. "Leave
mo. Heinriclil" repeated Illldegrado
under the induonco of strong excite
ment she sometimes spoke Knglfsli.
The young man staggeroit again , and
with a btnst of soul-searing emotion
took n quid of tobacco from his mouth ,
mid wafted it at ti chromo of Voi
Mollko. Ho was n line specimen of
manhood , and as ho stood before the
supine figure of the girl , clad , as he
was , in a leather apron that concealed
the contour of his frame , ho looked
every inch a Viking. Yet Hoinrieh
Pretzel was not the equal of the lissome
aristocrat who crouched upon the fan-
touil before him. Nay , I'YlUSchwa.rU- '
bred was Chicago's proudest brewer ,
while Ileinrich's foot was on the Ural
round of fortune's ladder ho drove a
beer wagon. ' 'Lichen sic mlch nichtV"
ho exclaimed in agoni/.ing accents. ' 'I

still speaking English a bad habit she
had learned from some children of the
American hoi pollok " 1 cannot say
that I do not love .you ; for deep down

Of this our hero undorslood nothing

but strong girl as she was , , with arms

Catarrh Cured.

and vainly trying every known remedy ,
at last found a recipe which completely
cured and saved him from death. Any

The New Rapitt Flro Cannon.
Now York Times : Information has
been received , in this country through
military channels of the complete suc
cess of the trial of the now English
Armstrons six-inch rapld-liro gun.
This gun is a development of the Arm
strong 4.72-inch rapid-firo gun , which
succeeded in throwing in 1 minute and
40 seconds 10 projectiles , each capable
of piercing 9 inches of iron. The won
derful success of the latter gun , com
monly known ns "tho rapid-llring 30-
" the British advantage
poundor , gave an
tage in naval warfare which foreign
ollicors were quick to perceive. It was
found that the projectiles which could
bo fired with such extraordinary rapid
ity weighed no less than 45 pounds and
had a velocity of 2,07S foot seconds , and
wore capable of penetrating 0 inches of
iron and 2 feet of oak and tcaic. The
whole weight of the gun is only 1,200
pounds.
Notwithstanding the ollicioncy of the
4.72-inch gun it was decided by the
British ordnance board to construct a
0-inch rapid fire gun on the same plan
as the former. The question immedi
ately arose , will a G-inch Armstrong re
sist the heat resulting from n flro of
such rapidity'I As a result of the trial
it lias been found that thogun has blood
intact the enormous pressure to which
it has been subjected , and instead of
forty-gvo pound projectiles the British
now have a gun which will throw , with
alinobt the same rapidity , projectiles
weighing 110 pounds , with a penotra-
tfon of ten and a half inches of iron anil
four foot of oak and teak. The powder
charge is nearly forty-two pounds in
weight and the chamber pressure over
seventeen and a half Ions.
The great advantage possessed by I
thcso British rapid llro guns is tlio
rapidity with which they can bo loaded
and fired. For some time past the 1,700
ton class of British cruisers have relied
upon them almost wholly for their arm-
anionts , a vessel of tbo Garnet classfor
instance , asking for no better butter } * .
The now torpedo ctuisor Rattlesnake
of the British service carries forward on
her forecastle her only gun , which con
sists of a rapid-lirlng gun having a
range of five miles. The Rattlesnake ,
which lias a speed o twenty-two knots
per hour , is able to work this * gun. in
an ordinary sea way , lyhllo running at
her highest rate of Bp'e'ed.
In no particular are the rapid-lira [
guns so advantageous as when employed
in ropelliii } , ' torpedo-boat night attacks
or in cloattng a beach of an enemy shel
tered behind intronchmonts and earth
works , In the engagement at , Suulcim
the other nay the Racer and Starling
used their rapid-lire guns with moro
than usual success , and were Instrumen .
tal in contributing not a small purl to
the victory of General Gronnoll.
Several attempts have boon mndo to
introduce this British gun into the
American service , but BO far nothing
exactly like it has been adopted. The '
American service IE dopondlnjr in the
main on Hotchlcibs' revolving cannon ,
Hotchkiss' quick-fire guns , and Gat-
lings for it faocondnry batteries.
rapidity of toti ahots In ono nun-
ute ha becu obtained from . '
the thtrty-throG-poundor Ilotohkiss ,
'
with a po'notralion of eight Inches of
iron. Tul < is rf good result , but officers
doubt the ability of the Hotchkiss to
stand the same heat strain under con
tinued fire as the Armstrong rapld-Aro
gun.
gun.Tho five-mile range of the rapld-firo
guns makes it extremely dllllenll for the
swiftest torpudo boat to approach a ves
sel armed with those guns without be
ing torn to pieces by the incessant rain
of solid shot they nro capable of throw
ing. They are brooch-loading , nml nro
worked cither by steam or handbrakes.
Six men only are required to work
them effectively. These guns
may be said to be an Im
provement on the Hotrhkiss in the
same way that the Itolchki s is an im
provement on the Galling and Gardner.
The superiority of the rapid-lire gun is
In its ability to throw heavy metal at n
rate which exceeds any modern gun of
single-firing capacity. ' The Hotohhiss
can throw ten shots per minulo from
the " " -pounder , but the accuracy with
which ten shots in ono minute and forty
seconds can be thrown from the rapid-
shot-gun , to say nothing of the increase
in metal , far exceeds Ilio rain of lighter
projectiles from the Ilntt'hklsd. However -
ever , judging from the familiarity with
which the details of the British rapid-
fire gun are being discussed , it need not
cause surprise if an improved typo of
the piece is seen aboard one of the now
American cruisers before long.
Trains to WuNlilnittnti.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad is the
only line running through Irnins from
Iho west to Washington , and they have
recently improved tlie service by put-
ling on two vestibule trains , one of
which leaves Cincinnati daily nl 7U : ! )
) ) . in. , uiul the other leaves C'hlcngo
daily at 7:0-5 : p. m. All cars in these
trains are vostibulod , including baggage
cars , day coaches and Pullman Buffet
sleepers , thus wholly overcoming the
swaying motion Imparted to ordinary
trains when rounding curves at hinh
speed. The trains are boated by steam
drawn f"om the locomotive. Ported
are in attendance in the day coaches
as well as in the slcoporn to wait upon
passengers. In accordance with its
long-established policy , the 11. & O.
exacts no extra faro 'for passage on
these trains.
The 1'rrnltleniN Reception.
Washington Post : A talldark , hnnd-
some young lady , dressed in black , nnd
wearing a large black hat , stood di
rectly behind Mrs. Cleveland during
most of the reception , and attracted a
great deal of attention. She was Miss
Phclps , of Mississippi , and the resem
blance between her and Mrs. Cleveland
was very striking. She had the same
regular features , clear complexion and ,
and her eyes and hair were of the same
'
shade. S'bo was taller and somewhat
heavier , however , but this boomed to bo
the only point of diflercnco. She had
oven caught Mrs. Cleveland's style of
dressing her hair , and had much the
same manners.
Washington Evening Post : Ono of
the "general public''was named Decker ,
and as he approached the president ho
told Colonel Wilson in confidence that
his name was such an easy one that it
could not be mistaken.
"Happy to meet you , Mr. Cracker , "
said the president.
"Happy lo meet you , Mr. Baker , "
said Mrs. Cleveland.
"Mr. Sticker , " murmured Mrs. Bay
ard , doubtfully.
"Happy to' meet , you , Mr. Black , "
said Mrs. Whitney , confidently.
And thus Mrs.'Fail-child wished him
a "Happy Now Year , Mr. Brown , " and
Mr. Decker escaped and looked at ono
of his cards to see what hib name was ,
anyway.
A True Statement of the Facts.
