The folly of prohibition , with its train of unlicensed drug stores and whisky joints , have aroused the people , and in every county whore the issue was made , rosubmis- elon carried the day. It is the dawn of common TIIK assertion of a Lincoln contem porary that registration was not a fail- lira in Omaha , is disproved by actual experience. The needless restrictions Imposed > by the law deprived thousands of people of the rights ot citizenship. Foreign born citizens who had resided in the "slate from flvo to twenty years were denied registration hocuuso they Jltid lost their naturalization papers. The multiplicity of books delayed vot- iSug to such an extent that at the close of the polls fully one thousand voters were in line in the various wards of the city. Thcso men were dopri vod of their 'votes ' by the inability of the clerks nnd fudges to find' their names pronipt- .ly. The provision requiring nou- reeintarcd voters to apply to the city clork'u oillce with two free-holders ns endorsers proved an absurdity. Com paratively few went to the trouble , and oven the number that did apply for alll- davits occupied tha entire time of that ofllciul and doputios. Registration under tlio Nebraska law retards rather than facilitates honest voting. In this city it has prevented a fair and free ex pression of tha will of the people. ANOTHER iBSSOiV. Tht , republican B of Douglas county liavo ngnin nufTorcd defeat , bccnuso their con vonttons had econ packed by reckless ward politicians who defiantly disregarded public sentiment and the admonition of these who bad the host interests of the party nt heart. The county is at best very close , nnd It was apparent from the outset of the campaign that disaster vras imminent unless n united front could bo presented , nnd only clean , competent men wore chosen ns candidate ! * . The attempt to force the judiciary into politics only increased the discord in the ranks of the party and furnished an additional incentive for defection. Whether the lesson taught will provo ot any benefit in the future remains to bo soon. The bourbon * of the republican party , like the bourbons of the democratic party , never learn anything. Within the last four years half a dozen battles have boon fought and lost for practi cally the saino reasons that resulted in the defeat that has juat"culminatod. But in the face of all this experience , the party hits madly rushed on to cer tain disaster , heedless of nil warnings nnd appeals. " " It remains to bo soon whether 18S9 will bo repeated in 1800. 27ZE TltimU S 0V The democratic victory in Now Yorl'c is n distinct triumph for Governor Iltll. That aetuto and energetic politician , so far as the politics of Now York is concerned , is unquestionably entitled to nearly the on lire credit for a success which makes the democratic party of the Empire state stronger than for n. number of years , and the signlflcaneo of this will not fail to deeply impress itself upon the democrats of the entire country. It is well understood that the ticket was named by Hill , every man on it being his warm friend and adherent , that the platform was largely framed by him , and that the campaign was conducted upon lines laid down by him. The independent press persistently kept those facts before fore the people , and while not condemn ing all the democratic candidates , ap pealed to the element it represents to vote against the men most active and ardent in their sup port of the political aspirations of Governor Hill. But neither this in fluence nor the unfriendly Cleveland contingent appears to have had any ef fect , nnd the wily manipulator of demo cratic politics in Now York is congrat ulating himself not only in the success of the state ticket , butinlwvinggainod several additional supporters in the legislature. This result has moro interest for the democrats who will not tolerate the thought of any other leader than Mr. Cleveland than it has for any other class of people concerned as to the future ot politics. It places Ilill easily at the head of democratic loaders , whether the friends of the ox- president will have it so or not. Ho has an unbroken record of victories , and that of Tuesday is oven moro important to him than the one of last year , when ho carried New York , and Cleveland lost it , siuco it emphasizes the fact that ho is the strongest democrat in Now York. As that state will doubt less bo absolutely necessary to democratic success three years hence , nothing could be moro certain in politics than that Hill , if ho cannot se cure the nomination for the presidency in 1892 , will dictate the candidate , and nnd it is equally certain that in that event neither Cleveland nor nny ether Now York man will got it. Hill or a western man agreeable to him will lead the democratic party in the next national political contest. The result in Now York has very lit tle it any bearing upon national affairs. The issues in the campaign wore wholly state issues , and thcso will in all proba bility bo in no respect affected or changed by the result. . THE TtnSULT IN OHIO. The republican defeat in Ohio is quite as much a personal ns a party re buke. The ronomiimtion of Governor Forakor for a third term was a grave mistake. It violated a time-honored principle which is Almost universally held In great respect by the American pooploospecially as to their executive officers. But apart from this. Governor Forakor had lost in popularity by reason of a personal policy which was offensive to many conservative republicans. It will not bo denied that his administra tions have boon in most respects highly honorable to him. e found the state treasury empty and the state unable to meet the pressing obligations , the re sult of two years of reckless extrava gance under a democratic administra tion. He took promjrt stops to save the state from financial dishonor , nnd was successful. Ho found the pub'lic insti tutions wretchedly managed , and tilled with corrupt and faithless oinotultj , and ho replaced such ofllcials with competent and honest men under whoso management the institutions were restored to their former good character and offlclcnqy. For this Governor Forakor was rightly honored with a second term , to which ho was triumphantly elected. This hearty and generous expression ot the popular regard - gard spoiled him. His political ambi tion soon begun to bo conspicu ously apparent. His friends pro claimed him the coming loader of the republican party in the na tion and named him among tlio possible candidates for the presidency , All this ho encouraged in every practicable way , not always discreetly nnd never modestly. Moreover , ho arranged as fur us ho could the mashlnery designed to promote his ambition , nnd ho paraded himself before the country its the os- poclul champion of republican ideas and uolioy which became embodied in the term "Forakerisin. " The inevitable olTcct of this course waste to create distrust of himself in the party , aa a man whoso Bclllsh ambition must necessarily'mnko him unreliable as a friend ot other men booking political attvancomont on the lines of his ambition , and to turn from him conservative republicans who do not bollovo that it is necessary to main tain partisan rancors tuid hatreds. In accepting the nomination for a third term , after the * most posltlyo declara tions that ho would not bo a candidate , Governor Forakcr demonstrated his capacity for political intrigue and insincerity , and in the conduct ot his campaign ho justi fied the objections ot consorvtvtlvo republicans. It was therefore "Forak- orlsm" that was really on trial before the people of Ohio , and thus it Is that , the verdict Is quite as much a personal as a party.robuko. The result In Ohio consequently has no great significance from n national point of view. It is true that the tariff IPS no was somewhat discussed in the campaign , but no intelligent man will pretend that this question had nny im portant influence in determining the result , and it is equally certain that whatever republican dissatisfaction may exist with the national administra tion , it cut no appreciable figure. The loss of the legislature by the republi cans is a moro serious matter than the defeat ot the state ticket , since it will very likely result in the re-election of Henry B. Payne to the United Slates senate , and thus place the people of Ohio in the unen viable position of having vindicated a senator charged with having corruptly bought his election , who hai never dis proved the charge , and who is widely believed to on guilty. But the rejec tion of "Forakorism" ought to bo a useful lesson to the republicans of the whole country. 7m ; vinoTNTA The defeat of Miihono was a foregone conclusion nearly a month ago. The defection of a largo number ot wbito republicans at the beginning of the campaign , and the growth of the revolt as the canvass progressed , loft little reason before the campaign was half through to doubt that ho would bo beaten , and when the colored loader , John M.Langstonwithdrowhlssupport and abandoned the Hold the defeat - feat of Mahono was assured. Having introduced into his campaign moro of artifice , trickery , insincerity and sel fish scheming than ever before , in his political career , ho drove from him both white and colored republicans w.ho had the intelligence to understand and the courage to rebuke such conduct. The result is that the democratic party in the Old Dominion is moro strongly intrenched , and greater and moro prolonged effort will bo required to dislodge it. Under the leadership of a sincere ro- public'in , having tno honesty to keep faith with his party friends , and with an unselfish ambition to promote repub lican principles rather than a desire to gtasp and control the spoils , there would have been achnncoof materially reduc ing the democratic vote in Virginia , if not of freeing the state from bourbon rule , but no different result than what has occurred could reasonably have been expected from Ma- honoism. Republicans may re gret that a promising opportunity to mnko a breach in the solid south has been lost , and the opposition there strengthened where it seemed weakest , but if the lesson shall have tlio effect to lead republicans in the south to reject the leadership of men like Mahono the overwhelming defeat of the republican party in Virginia on Tuesday will have one very great benefit. danger threatens the exist ence of the Union Pacific-Northwestern combino. The allied forces could calmly face the opposition of the Bur lington , Rock Island or in fact any cor poration of moderate strength and moans , Put when the Pacific Short Line proclaims war it is time for Holcomb and Hughitt to pause , if not retreat from the field. To attempt to do battle with an enemy possessed of sixty odd miles of graded road bed , two hundred thousand dollars in the treasury and unlimited resources to get , would not reflect credit on their judg ment or generalship. Lnto re ports indicate that this mammoth corporation , though young in years uad experience , possesses an appalling appe tite. If the assertions of the Mulhat- tons in eluirgo are to bo believed , the company has absorbed the Illinois Con. tral , Pennsylvania Central , the Milwau kee nnd a few branch roads by way of dessert , and will in a few days masticate tlio Southern and Central Pacific linos. It is possible that the Northern Pacific will be left out in the cold , unless Villard plonds lorqunrtor. Surrounded and menaced on every side , the .future of the Union Pacific and Northwest ern is full of. trials and tribula tion. There is no hope of escape unless they paolt up and leave the country. Possibly this unusually Short Line could bo induced to take them in on proba tion. HON.

WICHITA WIDE AWAKE. A Grand ItcBubmUslun fllcetlnc Hold Grunt KiitliuMnNin Shown. Wichita Special to the Kansas Cltj Times : There was nothing but resubmission mission talk on the Btrootq nnd in tin city to-day. Old-tlmo Kunsnnssay thoj never saw such oxcilomont over the question since the prohibition cam' yalgna. The strong prohibitionists whc are loud ngainst rostiumisalon wore forcotl to admit that there was a won- ful interest shown in the matter , nnfl were at a loss to explain the reason fet it , while the republican polltlciano nnd olnco-sookors arn moro nlarmod than over. The cause of all the stir wtiB the fact that n rosubmlaslon meeting was booked for to-night at the Crawford Grand. When the tlmo arrived for the Moot ing there was a crowded hotiso , and wild onthusiam prevailed. Chairman Bentley called the mooting to order and mndo a short speech , stating that the object was to have a citizens' meet ing to consider some business propo sitions. On referring to the fact that re-submission was the business ( iuostion , ho was received with tremendous np- plnuso. It hart boon proved , ho said , that prohibition had prohibited busi ness nud breweries and labor , and the saving of money in the cltv spent for liquor had not prohibited the use of liquors and ho urged it as business to work for rcsubmission in the hope of a change for financial benefit ana moral improvements. Colonel Tomlinson , who was to have been the loading speaker , was delayed by a wrecked trainbut was expected an hour later , nnd Judge Shields spoke with telling oiToct of the local situa tion. In presenting the Hon. Dave M. Ditlo , Chairman Bentley said that the victory of November 5 would bo a victory not of the democracy but of rosubtnission. The statement was received with tre mendous applause. Dale said ho wanted to talk sense and not sentiment. Ho re ferred to the fact that every year for nine years republican oflleo seekers had sad ! : "Don't vote In the line of resub- misslon this year , but wait until noU- , nnd insisted that the people were tirctl of it. There were loud cries of "Yes , yes. " The Sunday school police board had resulted in increasing the number of joints from llfty to ono hundred and ilflrin increasing taxes by prosecutions Lintl increasing the number of joints to tell without revenue. Ho paid a high coinpliinont to Senator Renlloyropubll- ( cnn ) for his rosubtnission speech , and declared that should resubmission carry in Sedgwick county this fall the repub lican -politicians would Uilco the hint nnd the next celebrated letter from a United States senator would favor ro- Bubmission. The Hon. John Eaton , of Winliold , was received with loud cheers , and said the prohibition law had dotitioycd tl.o dignity of an oath in the state. The republicans wanting ollico u anted to defer resubmission action , but ho was glut ! to sco ono county taking the load in the resubmission agitation. Tlio eyes of tlio whole state were centered on Iho result of the resubmission agita tion in Sedgwick county. Prohibition had proved not temperance legislation , but led to free whibky and resubuiission might load to temperance laws in that it would regulate an ovil. The move ment was against free liquor and in favor of restriction. Colonel Tomlinpon arrived at 10 o'clock and spoke for an. hour on tno re- submibsion idea and the meeting closed with three cheers for the rcsubmission movement which seemed to bo joined in by every ono of the .hundreds pres ent. ent.Ail seemed greatly pleased with tbo mooting. Republicans said they wcro glad they could vote in the direction of resubmission without being called traitors. They were glad the meeting was hold * and insisted that another should bo held next WCOK. They have caught hold of the idea that should the next election result in such a way as to show this county is for rcsubmission it tvill bo the starting of a resubmission tvavo that will roll across the state with tvondorful rapidity. NEW GOLD FIELDS. Dion Floclcine : to tlio Ittiucs in tlio TrniiHVnnl. Ono of the first African explorers who inado his way across that continent records that at ono place in the far in terior the natives wcro using placer jold in their old muskets as a substi- tuo for load shot , says the San Fr.incis- co Bulletin. The former was worth no moro to them than lead , nnd the infcr- anoo of tlio explorer was that the gold must ho abundant , as the natives ob tained it without any great exertion. Recent accounts of gold discoveries in the Transvaal republic in South Africa 70 fan to confirm the theory that tlio ! * olil mines yet to bo explored in South Africa may bo as productive as tlioao ivoro in California- Australia. Ono town bos sprung up Johannesburg } ii the edge of the gold ( Iclds that now contains forty thousand inhabitants. The yield in sixth months of the pres ent year of thcso mines has boon four million dollars.Thcso mines are scv- sral hundred miles beyond the fa- nous diamond mines ut Kimborly. rho latter mines are already con nected with the sea coast by a railroad. Men are now Hocking. to the ? old mines in the Transvaal republic in 'rout numbers. In all such mining ex citements there is a great donl of fiction nixed up with the facts. But far be yond the Transvaal republic , in Mashu- m land , there are are reports of won- lorful discoveries , surpassing in ricli- icssany heretofore known. The natives ire extremely hostile to the whites. 3ut the latter nro pushing on to thcso nines. If the gold is there , it may bo isaumod that no native hostility will coop the minors out. The latest theory s that the real Onhlr is in Mubhuna and. But it may bo noted that Ophir s always mo.vod along to the richest nines that nro found. towcvoron the .hcory that Solomon procured his { , 'old for the temple from the southwest const ot Africa. Ophir might ns wall bo lo ' ' . ' -I cated in the mysterious Mashuna land tin elsewhere , until tbo tioxt famous dis covery is mailo in Africa. Nothing of consequence has for some ycnrs boon reported about gold in Contrnl Africa. Vnjjuo nccounts nra given from tirno to tlmo of natives who have both gold nnd ivory to exchange for goods. Africa , as a gold-boarlng country , is virgin ground. The theory has lone provatlod that it is the nchost gold country in the world. This theory is partly supported by tra dition and in part by mich accounts ni have boon given from time to tlmo by explorers. The isoHtod. traveler could do Httlo in the way of gathering information mation about the mineral resources of the African continent. That was not his business. Tlic-so early explorers only incidentally mention the finding of gold , nnd it were really of no great im portance in comparison with other ob jects to bo attained. But whenever the fact i clearly demonstrated that there nro rich gold Holds in Africa , nothing in the olimnto nor the hostility of the nntlvo population will keep back these who are in Bonroh of the golden flooco. The dlscovorv of vast gold Holds in Africa might bo disastrous to the na tives , but it would introduce a orudo civilisratlon , the pioneer of a still bet tor ono , which will ono day take posses sion of the entire African continent. THROUGH A WARTERSPOUT. The Ilomnrlcntiln lixncrlouoo of tlio American Stonmililp Hnntlnqo Among the roportsof the HydrographIc - Ic Bureau for October is the1 following remarkable account of a witersrout by Chief Olllcor Calloway ot the American stuamship Santiago : "On the 2 ! > th day of April , 1880 , at about G:1IO : a. in. , lloyal island ( ono of the Bahamas ) , bore about south , distant four miles : windhght froinsouth-south- west , weather partly cloudy. Obaorvod a waterspout formlngofT the btarboard bow ( ship heading south west ) and moving in direction of steamer at an angle of three points. On account of its close prox imity , was about to steer clear of it , when I observed it breaking , about thirty yards from the ship. Immedi ately afterward the steamer passed through the outer edge of the whirl pool , the diameter of which t should judge to have been about fifty to seventy yards. On passing through the outer cdgo I observed that the center was hollow , the water circling from west to cast , or against the sun. The water that foil on deck was very salt , and the drops as largo as a M-cout ) piece. Dur ing the few seconds of our passage through it the \\iutl blow at the rate of about thirty or thirty-five miles per hour. I did not observe any culm in the center at all , the water arising from it resembling an inverted foun tain. After clearing the whirl pool the wind resumed its original force , about tiifeon miles per hour. Being the ofllcor of the watch , I had little time to obsor\o the b.iromotor , but it fluctuated one or two hundredth ! ) , and then resumed its previous1 reading. The clouds above and around Iho snout were very ragged and much disturbed , similar to these in a thunder storm ; their motions were very rapid , ascend ing , descending , nnd breaking away from ouch other after the water hail been absorbed into them. The water was whirling very rapidly for several minutes after the break , showing what tremendous circular force there must have been. I may mention that upon passing through it the steering ot the ship was not affected , so that if there were anj * current at nil it must have boon circular nnd confined to the cen ter. " * Cremation in France. It will certainly take a considerable time before ttie frcnch become familiar with the system of burning instead of burying their deaJ ; but cremation may. nevertheless , now bo said to have a rec ognised position in France , and to render - der cremation popular at all events with the humbler classes of society everything has boon done to make the process cheap , says the London Stand ard. The prefect of the Seine has just given his sanction to a tnriir for burn ing the remains of persons who may themselves , or whose relations may , prefer this system to burial. A uniform and moderate charge ot 50 francs is mndo , this in cluding the right of depositing the ashes in a columbarium which will shortly be built by the city of Paris , and leaving only the "urn , in which the said ashes nro enclosed , to the cost of the relatives. Moreover , in the case of persons who are certified by the mayor of the commune-in which they died to have been in very necessitous circum stances , no charge whatever will bo made for cremating' ' their remains , or for keeping , during a period of ilvo years , what remains of the body after the burning process. Nothing is suid ns to what will become of the ashes at the expiration of tbo five years ; but probably , as the bones of the dead are now every three , live , or ton years , ac cording to the length of lease of the ground , removed from cemeteries to the catacombs , so the aahos will bo collected and placed in some general receptacle. Betting in Amtrln. Theorists who assort tlint the evils of turf gambling are much diminished in countries where public betting agencies are tolerated should rend a report on the totalisateuts which the Hungarian government is going to lay before parliament - liamont says the London Globe. Advo cates of the totalUatours or pans mutu- els are apt to say that these institutions are ns well managed ns banks. Tliey are indeed so well managed , remarks the Vienna correspondent of the Times , that , as it seems , all tlio youth of Hun gary , including school boys , invest mon ey In them recklessly during the racing season. The tickets by purchase of which the buyer backs a certain horhoat the current odds are not only sold on the racecourses , hut In any lottery ollico or tobacco shop. The report speaks so indignantly of all this that ono is qnito prepared for the announcement that the government intends to aslc parliament for powers to abolish the bolting ntjonclos altogether. But it is simply proposed to restrict the sale of tickets to racecourses and to tax tlio winnings of the gamblers. This moans that the government proposes to abate u great social nuisance by acquiring a vested interest in its maintenance , SUNBURN I ICrCT LAMENESS SORENESS JCjCa SORE FEET JNFLAMED-EYES , CHAFED OR ROUGHENED SKIN BRUISES r l lL CATARRH DIARRHCEA , NEURALGIA , RHEUMATISM PILES C' W THU Jk f T * BITFa FEMALE COMPLAINTS , CUTS , INSECT STINGS HEMORRHAGES INFLAMMATIONS FOR OF ALL KJNDS OF ALL KINDS
