TIIK STATE
The next three weeks will wit
ness n marked development ot
activity nnd interest In the political
campaigns ot several states. In Ohio
the battle is already raging hotly , both
parties putting forth their most vigor
ous efforts. The advantages nro un
doubtedly in favor of the republican ? ,
but the most careful observers express
the opinion that the result Is likely to
bo very close. Appearances in
dicate that there Is grantor
h.irmony nmong the democrats
thnn ntnong the republicans , nnd
the Intter are menaced by the nctivo
work of the prohibitionists. Kvidontly
the republicans of Ohio cannot afford to
tvbato their efforts in the least degree
or to lose n single chance.
In i'ennsvlranla all the conditions
nppour favorable to the the republicans
having about the usual majority for an
oll.vonr , and the ciinumlgn in that sluto
is not characterized by any oxcopUonnl
activity on either side. In Vir
ginia the professed con lldonco
ot republicans at tlio open
ing of the campaign Is hardly
maintained , Tlioro hrw boon developed
a considerable disaffection ot white ro-
miblicnns against M'ahonc , and whether
ho bus gained enough of the negro
vote to olfsot this is ayinaUor of doubt.
It is unquestionable thnt the republican
revolt against Mahouo Is of largo pro
portions , and the outlook Is that ho
will be defeated by an increased demo
cratic majority.
The campaign in Now York is not
yet fully opened , the democrats having
made their nominations the past week ,
but it will doubtless bo on full bead
before the close of the present week.
The democratic slate convention was
distinctly a Hill affair , all the candi
dates being among his heartiest sup
porters. The platform is understood to
Imvo been the work of the governor ,
with the exception of the clause endorsing
ing the Cleveland administration-
which was inserted , not without con
siderable opposition , in the committee.
The complete domination of the
Hill wing in niinnng the candi
dates has given some offense
to tlio Cleveland element , including the
mugwumps , nnd this state of atValrs im
proves the outlook for the republicans.
But while the latter may gain some
thing from the independents and from
the rgfusnl of democrats to bo
whipped into line by Hill , they will lose
all the vote of the liquor dealers and
very likely the prohibitionists will
draw from them. Moreover , it is not
quite certain that the republicans of
Now York are entirely harmonious.
The situation is such as to continue New
York in the doubtful list.
The campaign in Massachusetts prom
ises to be very interesting , quite as
much so as thut in O hto , with a proba
bility that the result will bo close. The
republican candidate for governor , Mr.
Brackett , now lieutenant governor , is
an experienced and popular politician ,
butbtrictly of the machine class and
his nomination has not boon received
with universal favor in the party. A
conspicuous ovidcjiee of the dis-
ulTcctien is the fact that"a
leading republican piper of Borton
is not giving him n cordial support ,
while the democratic convention wasat-
tended by a number of prominent men
of republican antecedents who in this
way proclaimed their revolt. The
democratic candidate for governor ,
Hon. William Uussoll , has a very favor
able record und is expected to make a
strong fun. The platforms of the two
parties are very much alike regarding
the tariff. More surprising things
have happened in politics than would
bo democratic success in Massachusetts
this year.
The campaigns in other states which
hold elections this year , and in which
the parties have named their candi
dates , possess no unusual characteristics
or interest , and indicate no change
from the uniform result of previous
years. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The letter which wo publish this
morning from Ctistor City , in the Black
Hills , will not only repay perusal by the
general reader , but should bo thor
oughly pondered by the moneyed men
and manufacturers of Omaha. It con
tains statements of fuels of the first im
portance to this city. The growing up
of a population of from thirty thousand
to fifty thousand , and the development
of various manufacturing interests
which it forecasts are results that
should awaken the interest , and which
should command the instant attention
of our people. It Is not merely that
Oinuha should seek in that direction
for an expansion of its market , but
that it should especially seek to take
part in the manufactures which our
correspondent predicts will grow up as
soon as the production of tin actually
commences. Concerning the vast stores
of tin that exist in-tho Hartley Peak re
gion no doubt can longer bo enter
tained , the moment it is known that
English capital to the extent of over
two millions of dollars has already boon
invested there , simply in the prelimi
nary work ot exploration and discovery.
Our correspondent states facts which
fortunately leave no doubt in this mat-
tor. The veins already uncov
ered nro of a number , richness
and incxhnustlbloncss unsurpassed
except in Cornwall , Kngland , which
Imvo been worked since Oicsnr's time ,
and are now approaching their limit.
Tt looks as though wo are to have at our
door the largest known supply of a
metal which has n practical value ex
ceeding that of gold nnd silver.
TUB SUPHKME COffljT VACAKCY.
The general opinion at Washington
appears to bo thut It is the into'ntion of
the president to appoint Attorney Gen
eral Miller to the vacancy on the bench
of the supreme court of the United
States. Assuming thnt the president
lias bo decided , certain papers nro warn
ing hlrn not to appoint Mr. Miller , on
the grounds that the attorney general
is not qualiliod for this high judicial
olllro , and thut having boon u law part
ner of Mr. Harrison his appointment
would bo n scandal of the first magni
tude.
On the score of propriety the presi
dent would bo less likely to experience
unfavorable criticism If ho filled the
vacancy with aomo ether mnn thnn Attorney -
tornoy General Milleralthough the op
position would doubtless find fault with
any man bo might appoint , lint ob
jection to Mr , Miller on the ground that
ho is not ( nullified for the judicial of
fice is wholly gratuitous. U Is true
thnt ho has not had a judi
cial experience , but in this re
spect ho is no worse off than
was Chi of Justice Fuller when ho re
ceived his appointment. The chlof jus
tice ofthe supreme court stood no
lilghor at the bar ot Illinois than does
the attorney general nt the bar ot In
diana. The former enjoyed , before ho
came into public life , no more extended
reputation nsiulawyor than the latter.
Mr. Miller has long bnon prominent nt
the Indiana bar , being regarded as
nmoug the foremost lawyers of the
Btato in thu extent nnd thor
oughness ot his nUninmonts. No
ono knows this better than
President Harrison , If so well , nnd it is _
fair to presume that ho knows what
qualifications nro necessary to a justice
of the supreme court.
The fact that the business nnd social
relations bctwooii Mr. Harrison nnd Mr.
Miller have been close nnd intimate
may bo n good reason why the latter
should nol bo appointed to the supreme
court vacancy. That his appointment
would furnish n ground ot much hostile
criticism ot the president is not to bo
doubted , and if ho would avoid this ho
will not appoint Mr. Ml.lor. But as to
qualifications , the fair prcsumotion is
that Miller is quite as well equipped for
judicial duties as were several present
members of the supreme bunch when
they were appointed , and that ho would
discharge such duties honestly nnd
conscientiously.
OMAUA AND SIOUX. CITY.
The board of tritdo came homo fooling
jubilant with the idea that they made a
point in going up to Sioux City nnd pay
ing their respects to the corn palace.
But you can't make a whistle out of a
pig's tail. Sioux City has never shown
nny disposition to cultivate friendly re
lations with Omaha and never will
until she has given up the idea that she
will outstrip Omaha as a jobbing center.
The very next day after Ihe board
of trade had gushed over with
compliments for their town , the Sioux
City . /ourmtJ which represents the sen
timent of the capitalists up ilio river ,
gave a thrust at Omaha in the following
malicious fashion :
Omaha Is hustling about to see if it can
raise ( lr > 0 ! ) to entertain the Now England
people who are coming to Bioux Citv. If it
can raiHO the monny an effort will bo inado
to induces the Riicsts of this city , for whosa
coming here A. y. Oarrctson alone assumed
a responsibility of about $7,003 , to no to
Omaha. 1'oor old Omaha !
K spirit shown by the republican
county convention was in many respects
reprehensible nnd deplorable. In the
face of the fact that this county is de
batable ground for both parties , the
availability of candidates and their
chance of united support was made sec
ondary to a fooling of vlndictivonoss tMi
the part of cqrlnin leaders. The nomi
nation of Coburn was a niece of spite
work of the Bochol element toward
Mayor Brontob. Mr. Bochol and his
friends have had their revenge , and
the republican party is tosuffcr the con
sequence.
TIIK Canadians am astonishingly

RKSKIIVKS in New York banks nt
present are unusually low and rates for

allay any'fear that a financial crisis is
about to overtake the country. On the
contrary , everything points to an era of
unexampled prosperity.

great Importance. If I hud time I think I

A SLAVE TO MORPHINE.

Eonsatloual details ot the death ot
Jacques Damaln , husband of Snrnh
Uornhnrdt. Dainalu was u slnvo to the
morphine habit , mid during his last son-
BOU with Sarah in Kgypt went so far as
to forgo the timnos ot doctors from
Cairo and Alexandria to proscriptions
inado by himself ordering enormous
quantities of the soothing poison , says
the Pall Mull Unzollo. Walters worn
bribed by him in every hotel whore he
lived ami became his accomplices in
thu slow but sure work ot Ids own de
struction.
On their return from Kgypt Sarah
ana her troupe sloppcdal Milan. Thnro
Diuiiulu could no longer lijdo his situa
tion from his friends. One ovonlng
when seated with his wlfo at tv lahlo
d'hote ho was sol/oil for thu first tlmo
with a lit of delirium tremens in the
presence ot more than one hundred ter
rified people. Around him lie saw
nothing but nits , who wore , ho howled ,
assailing him , running over his body
and trying to uat up his vitnls.
His formerly line features wore then
horrible to behold. Suddenly ho imag
ined seeing also rats on some of his
companions of travel , rushed upon them
and tore up the dross of several guests
in the dining room. No one dared to
Iny hands on him ; but Sarah , although
frightened to death , tei/.ud htm in her
arms , and by dint of caresses and kind
words , brought him back ut lust to his
tenses.
From that eventful day Sarah had him
carefully watched , and as soon as ho was
back with her to Paris she summoned
three of the most famous doctors and
nskod them to prepare a mixture ox-
aclly similar to morphine , but thor
oughly inocuous , and induced Danmlato
Use it. At lirst he had been very sus
picious and had made u careful analysis
of the new potion , as would have done u
thief wlio would have stolen counterfeit
coin. But ho had discovered nothing ,
and was thus biivud from himself for u
little whilo. Sarah , all absorbed by tl > o
rehearsals ot "Lona" at the Varieties ,
had summarily locked him up in her
own house on the Boulevard Peroiro ,
denying him all kindb of Hashes , po
tions , packages and oven his street gar
ments , from fear ho would escape and
buy the real article at borne druggist's
placo.
Ono day , however , bo recovered his
liberty , bought big doses of morphine ,
nnd had soon Ills of furious madness.
Ho was haunted by the idea that every
one around him was persecuting him.
lie imagined seeing one of his friends
spying him from the rails of the Sub
urban railroad , which was running
under his windows. Ho thought ho
saw Jeanne , the sitter of Uara.li , coming
down , with the help of a shoot , from the
story above , to peoi at him , through
his window while ho was injecting mor
phine under his skin. Ho heard an
army of spies Hhouling to him : "Mor
phine ! Morphine11 ! from under every
board ot the lloor in his room. Ami ,
uruied with a loaded pi tel , ho would
search the whole house , shouting and
howling ,
"See hero the miserable wretches !
They don't mill The train won't crush
them ! They are bullet-proof ! Ah , los
Canailles11 !
When ho was dead , at the end of ono
of those frightful scenes , there was not
to bo found on his dilapidated body a
single place winch had not boon stung
with ono of the twenty-throe Prava/
