Ilhot Clnrkeon hua not gobbled a metro
politan newspaper. Yet , slrango as it
may seem , llio earth is still revolving
around its axis.
TIIOSK who nro congratulating the
country on the acliouriimcnt ol congress
forgot tlio next session , la barely two
montlis away. Perhaps wo should bo
thankful Tor a brief test.
Nr.w Youic has set nine hundred and
forty-seven policemen til work recount
ing tlio population of the city. It wants
more people than the census enumerat
ors gave it in order that it can lia'.o a
greater representation in congress and
the stuto legislature. It is not jealous
of other cities. When it Is remembered
that a democratic slat istician of note
and efficiency had immediate and ex
clusive control of the count in Now York
City , it can readily bo seen why the dem
ocratic charge of partisanship against
Superintendent Porter IB not well
founded.
DEMOCIIATS tire served with lavish
doses of cold comfort by the Worlil-
I/cr M. According to that great politi
cal wind mill the independents are
sweeping everything Ixjforo them in
Platte county. Platte has rarely failed
to roll up from two to four hundred dem
ocratic majority , and this reliable dem
ocratic stronghold la now doomed. Ac
cording to the domo-iudopondent special
reporter on the spot , Platte county will
cast three thousand votes next month.
Of thcso the independents will poll two
thousand and the republicans four hun
dred , leaving an emaciated six hundred
for the democratic ticket. "Wo ere as
sured by the same reliable authority
that this great change is duo to the
hyphen , which has mndo "tho people-
wax strong in the independent faith. "
Tan BKIJ hastens to congratulate the
democrats oa the splendid results of Mr.
Hitchcock's efforts.
The formal opening of the democratic
campaign in Iowa will take place at
Kooktik tomorrow and it is proposed to
ftinko it iv tri-stato affair. Every event
fflfan important nature that occurs at
Kookuk Li celebrated from n , tri-stnto
Standpoint. Inasmuch aa the j First dis
trict is considered by Iowa democrats to
1)0 the most promising fighting grounds
in the btato , and so conceded by the re
publicans , H is proper that the opening
nnd grandest rally of the campaign
should for effect bo raado thoro. It is
expected that ox-Govornor Palmer of
Illinois , ox-Govornor Francis of'Missouri
nnd ox-Govornor Gray of Indiana will
to present ami address the unterrlfled.
And besides those , Governor Boies , the
only democratic governor within hall-
ing distance of the Hawhoyo stale , a3
well as candidate for congress In and
out of Iowa , will bo present to entertain ,
overflow audiences. But if democrats
enough go to Kookuk from Iowa , Mis-
"flouri nnd Illinois to give1 respectable
audiences to ono-thlrd the eminent
statesmen billed for the occasion , it will
afford the Iowa democracy sufficient
capital for proclaiming that another
great uprising of the people is In
progress.
Tun more Candidate McKclghnn's
record Is examined the moro spotted it
appears. Tlio diversion nnd misappro
priation of widows' and orphans'funds In
"Webster county has not been denied or
explained. The Investigation made by
a friendly committee from Hayes county
served to fasten the charge of dishonesty
on a man who has the hardihood to ask
the suffrages of the reputable people of
the Second district. But that is not all.
ItfoKoIghan is accused of having , whllo
serving as probate judge , taken advan
tage of the mental incapacity of a farmer
nnd beaten him out of two hundred and
eighty-seven dollars. A judgment stands
on record against Mclvoighan for this
amount. It la ridiculous for McKoighan
and his fool frlonds to defend embezzlement -
mont on tlio ground that the victim ' 'has
never been legally competent to rocolvo
It. " la McKelghnn vested with power
to pass judgment on the mental sound
ness of the people ? "Why did ho not pay
the numoylnto. court when judgment
vas rendered and relieve himself of the
responsibility ? With such a record before -
fore the people of a district the men
who are responsible for MoKolghan'a
nomination owe it to themselves , to hon
esty ami honor , to. demand lila with
drawal as a candidate.

The first Boftslouot the Fifty-first con
gress has passed into history. It will bo
memorable ns uno ot the most Important
in the history of tlio country , nnd the ef
fect of its legislative acts will bo far-
reaching and long-continued , Coming
into the control of tlio house after being
inn minority in that body during the
three preceding congresses , the first
duty of the republican representatives
wan to provide for the rule of the ma
jority. Experience had abundantly dem
onstrated that the old method of pro
cedure was an obstacle to the prompt
nnd efficient discharge of legislative
business , nnd In order to carry out the
purpose of the party to make the session
one of business It was necessary to Insti
tute a radical reform of the rules gov
erning the proceedings of the house.
Tlio minority had given timely warn
ing that it intended to resist to
the full extent of its opportunities
all legislation proposed by the
majority having any political signifi
cance. To put a check upon filibuster
ing and all the obstructive tactics known
to parliamentary practice , without dc-
nyl'Uf ' just and reasonable rights to the
minority , -was tlio problem first
to bo solved by the republicans.
They addressed themselves to
this task firmly and coura
geously , and found n solution with
which the country has become thor
oughly familiar. It was a radical de
parture , amounting almost to a revolu
tion In parliamentary practice , but it
wns a departure for which the time had
arrived , and it has boon justified by the
results. The business of congress , so
far as tlio house was concerned , was ad
vanced with unusual rapidity when duo
account Is taken of the vast Importance
of the leading questions acted upon. All
obstruction could not bo prevented.
There were occasions when the
minority wcro able to delay the
course of legislation , nnd they never
permitted such an opportunity to go
unimproved. The representatives of the
democratic parly in the present congress
have earned a larcror measure of just re-
pro.ich by reason of their course in this
respect than was over deserved by any
other minority in congress since the
foundation of the government. Had the
old titles of procedure boon continued ,
nothing- moro certain than that con
gress would still bo in session and the
majority hopelessly struggling to enact
legislation demanded by the people. The
principle of majority rule and responsi
bility has been established in the popu
lar branch of congress , and undoubtedly
it will hoi eafter bo strictly observed as
the only rule consistent with our system
of government and which can safely bo
followed.
Of the many measures , far too numer
ous for editorial review , passed at the
late session , those of great
est importance are the silver
bill , the tariff bill , and the disability
pension act , and after these come the
anti-trust law , the meat inspection nnd
retaliation law , the customs administra
tion law , tlio land grant forfeiture act ,
and the legislation affecting public lands.
The appropriation made in aid of agricul
tural colleges , the measures in the In
terest of labor , the legislation relating to
the army and navy , are all matters of
Importance. It can fairly bo said of Iho
first session of the Fifty-first congress
that it enactedn gro.iter amount of im
portant and comprehensive legislation
than any two congresses for the last six
years , a fact for which the democratic
minorty can justly claim no part of the
credit.
' T/TE DUTY OF TUB
The first nnd most important work
which the Omaha real estate exchange
should undertake Is to unite with the
Bankers' nnd Business Men's association
in protecting the property interests of
Omaha anil the state. Wo are now in
the thick of the fight for law and order
and regulation. In a little over four
weeks the isbuo will bo determined at
the ballot box. The campaign will not
run itself , nor is it just to throw
the entire work and responsibility
on one organization. The vital in
terests involved demand the active co
operation of every man who would save
Nebraska from tlio commercial blight of
Kansas and Iowa.
To the real estate exchange the issue
is one of life or death. If prohibition
should carry the exchange would bo
without an excuse for existence. On the
other hand , defeat insures a prompt re
vival of realty business. Confidence
will supplant doubt nnd depression. The
vast amounts of capital awaiting In
vestment in the state will rean
imate nil departments of business ,
-building operations will treble and the
progress and prosperity which marks
the past record of thostato will continue
for years to come.
These facts nro familiar to members
of the exchange. Their future success
therefore depends on vigorous work all
along the lino. Tor this reason all
other matters should bo suspended for a
month and all energies bent on the defeat -
feat of oprohibitlon. Lot trifles wait.
Strike unitedly for larger game. That
accomplished , other questions \\ill solve
themselves.
ItKVBKVKS AKD APl'ltOPKIATIONS.
The secretary of the treasury in his
last annual report estimated that the
rovonucs of the government for the cur
rent fiscal year would bo four hundred
nnd fifty million dollars. As that esti
mate was made eomo ton months ago it
may safely bo Increased by from fifteen
to twenty million dollars , so that the
treasury will probably realise for the
year ending Juno 30,1801 , at least four
hundred and sixty-five million dollars.
The appropriations made at the Into ses
sion of congress , together with the per
manent annual appropriations , aggre
gate within a fraction of four hundred
and slxty-throo million dollars , an In
crease of forty millions over the regular
and permanent appropriations of the
last congress.
On this showing the revenues of the
government for the current fiscal year
will exceed the expenditures by only
about two million dollars , but Mr. Can
non , chairman of the house committee
on appropriations , In an estimate pre
sented to the house a short time- ago ,
deducted thirty-eight million dollars
for deficiencies na not bolng chargeable
against the revenues for the current
fiscal year , nnd twenty million for sums
in the rlvor and harbor bill thnt will
not bo expended in 1801 , In this way It
Is possible to figure a surplus revenue
for the year of about sixty million del
lars. On the ether hand , It htu been
estimated that thcrowill bo pension de
ficiencies amounting to forty-five mil
lion dollars for which appropriations
must bo mndc at the next session , and H
this shall bo the c.aso the surplus to bo
counted on will not exceed fifteen mil
lion dollars.
Innnyovont itsooms pretty certain
that thcto will be a very small margin
between expenditures and revenues ,
and if tlio full reduction prom
ised from the tarilT bill should bo real
ized it is moro likely there will bo n
deficit than n surplus. No definite cal
culation cnn bo made , however , ns to
tlio effect of the bill on the rovonucs for
the current fiscal year , but the proba
bility is Itvlll not effect any such reduc
tion as Mr. WcKinloy has figured out.
Ono thing it would sootn reasonably
certain may bo depended on , nnd that is
hereafter the treasury will have to con-
line its operations to taking care of the
regular dotnnnds upon its resources nnd
will not bo ublo , in case ot a stress In the
money market , to repeat the relief ex
pedients which it has recently success
fully employed. Perhaps this is not a
matter to cause any solicitude , since it
is obviously desirable on sound financial
grounds that the money market should
bo as little dependent as possible on the
national treasury.
PAUL VAXDEHVOOUT , superintend
ent of the local mail eorvlco in
Omaha , is said to have sent in his icsig-
natlon with a string tied to it. The
sttlng with the alleged resignation is in
the hands of Senator Mtmdcrson , with
the expectation that ho will not
present it to John Wnnamnkor. Wo
are told thnt half a dozen aspirants
are after the position which Vandor-
voort threatens to vacate. Wo would
advise these aspirants not to bank on
their chances. In the first place ,
"Vandorvoort is in no hurry to vacate ,
and in the next place the position is a
sinecure which the postmaster general
will discontinue just as soon
ns Vandorvoort is out. There
never was any call for creating
tho'placc. "Vnndervoort lias not done a
stroke of work in connection with it that
anybody knows of , nnd there is no moro
need of a superintendent of Omaha mails
than there is of seven wheels to Jim
Stophonson's big- mall -wagon.
THIS manufacturers of straw wrapping
paper are potting together. Represent
atives of eight hundred and seventy-two
mills are in session In Chicago , and an
other industrial combine is in process of
incubation. With the usual lofty Innocence -
cenco of Incipient trusts , the public is
assured that the interest of the manu
facturers is secondary in the movement.
While anxious to increase their profits ,
they declare the consumers will bo ben-
ofitted by strangling competition , re
ducing the product , and regulating the
price. The abnormal gall of the average -
ago combine is simply indescribable.
ACCOUDINQ to friendly accounts-
startling political conditions exist in the
northern counties. Ono day Tornado
Bill Thompson descends on a county ,
and forthwith n credulous public is posi
tively assured that ho has bagged an
overwhelming majority of the voters. A
day or two later Deputy Farmer Kern
swoops down on the same community ,
and instantly the voters fall down nnd
worship him by a largo majority. Thus
both democrats and Independents "claim
everything" and enable their joiutorgan
to ride both p it-ties with the grace und
agility of a camel on a slack wire.
republican mooting ; at the Grand
opera house tonight should call out
a multitude of citizens , irrespective
of party. The mooting will bo a notable
one , chlolly because the republican
party , which has successfully managed
state affairs for a generation , will render
an accounting of its stewardship and
demonstrate its right to a continuance
in power.
THE importance of the question justi
fies a repetition of the fact that every
voter must bo registered to exorcise the
richts of citizenship. Former lists are
useless. New lists must bo made , and
every citizen Is personally required to
appear before the registration board of
their respective polling districts.
Tun packing record continues to point
with unerring aim to Omaha's steady
advance aa the third stock market of
the country. A record of eight hundred
thousand porkers salted in seven months
Is an enviable ono for an Industry barely
six years of ago.
IN devising ways and means for the
relief of the courts , the bar association
should remember that thn interests of
lawyers aio not above the interests of
litigants and taxpayers. There is such
a thing as driving a willing horse to
death. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
IF Commissioner Anderson should fall

LIN-COIN , Nob. , Oct. 2. [ Special to Tin
BEE. | The city of Lincoln 1ms boon treated
ton good olil-fuslilcmed elopement case hi
which the nrdont lovers were aided by n do *
signing mamma , but first opposed nnd thoti
pursued by nti angry father , AH the dramatis
persona ) rcslJo nt Firth. The hero bears
the rather unharmonlous name of Jotfuin
BrnuRhawaut while the "fnlr Incllo" Is Hoxlc
Clillda , a girl of sixteen. Mrs. CliUds thinks
Joihua the pink of perfection , but Mr ,
Chllds thinks otherwise and has done all in
his power to break up the mntch. "When
Joshua finally came to his prospective father'
ln-li w to formally ask for the hand of Ula
daughter the thunderous "iiol" that wns
hurled at him would hnvo discouraged any
body but ft hopeful lover.
An clonomont was therefore planned , nnd
Mrs. Chllds readily agreed to help the young
couple. Accordingly the thrco clandestinely
left Firth and came to Lincoln yesterday
afternoon. Tnoy Immediately repaired tc
the court house nnd asked for a marriage
license , to bo followed with an tmmcdln'c
tying of the knot by the county Judge.
George Slmfor , thci probate clerk , sat down
to fill out a blank license , but n snag was
struck A\hen tlio Rlrl's nj o wtw given as six
teen years. The law says that before n 11-
cense can bo issued to a girl under eighteen ,
the consent of the father , If living , it neces
sary. Mrs. Chllds said she was -willing to
have the wedding occur , and so was her hus
band , but tlintthoy were running a hotel nt
Firth , and both parents could not Icavo nt the
snmo tlroo. The young man and the mothec
wcro anxious to have tlio wedding occur , the
young budo blushed , and the JmlRO looked
puzzled. Ho had n notion to stretch tlio stsit-
ute a little aud wed them , but llnnlly con
cluded not to. aud saw them depart with re
gret , the mother deploring the fact that there
was no train by which tlio father could reach
Lincoln , that night , nnd declaring she would
send him up in the morning.
Papa Chllili arrived this morning all right ,
but the young comilo were not with him.
Ho rushed to the court house and the first
question ho propounded on his entrance to
the county court was whether or not a llccuso
bad been Issued to his daughter. When ho
was tola none had been granted ho almost
leaped for Joy , nnd bringing his flst down
with emphasis said
"That's ' good. "
Ho then told now Braughawant had In
sisted on marrying hw sixteen-year old
daughter , much ngnlnst his will , and bow lie
bad done all ho could to break the nllinnco.
Ho said as both the mother and the young
couple had suddenly disappeared ho surmised
that something was up and he immediately
started on tlielr trail nnd had followed them
as far as Lincoln. Ho then started out to
try to fiud them and after scouring the town
over learned that they baa taken a train for
the oast.

a man of violent and ungovernable temper.
Unit ho lias beaten nnd struck her tlmo and
again , and that lie has even brutally pounded
her with a whip. On one occasion ho mur
derously sciycd a revolver nnd pointing
it ai her , pulled the tilgger. Fmtunntcly
when the hammer descended wltb lightning
velocity it failed to explode the cartridgp ,
mid thus only by the merest good luck her
life was saved. She left him , taking her
child , out later , whllo she was in n business
college hero learning typewriting as a means
of livelihood , Collins sneaked up to the homo
of her parents at Crete and stele the Infant.
The judpe. o.i hearing this , granted her n
