TJ/B citr or
For more than two mouths the prohi
bitionists have boon Inylng n foundation
for n contest of the votoof Douglas
county. They started out with charging
that a great conspiracy was being
hatched to import voters from Iowa niul
Missouri into Omaha for the solo pur
pose of enormously Increasing the voting
ing population. They ale charged that
the conspirators were organizing gangs
of repeaters and ballot-box stutters who
were to Inflate the vote of Omaha and
pad the returns of the election. To
give these chnrgcs plausible backing
they concocted the reports of Inflated
census returns and bolstered up tholr
cook nnd bull stories through imported
forgora and vagabonds who ramaekeil
private olllccs and palmed off perjured
affidavits upon the credulous.
But the registration of the voters ol
Omaha and South Omaha which was
conducted open and above board
under the most rigid scrutiny ol
prohibition detectives and agents ,
gave the Ho to the malicious
fabrication , Every man who presented
himself for registration , no matter
how prominent anil well known , was re
quired under oath to toatlfy to his eligi
bility ns a citizen itnd place of residence
by street and number. The lists wore
made public and prohibitionists were al
lowed to copy them. No city in America
has ever made a m ro perfect and unim
peachable registration.
As n last desperate resort the prohibi
tion managers howled about anarchy ,
riot and outlawry in Omaha , while thej
were importing thugs and challongorstc
obstruct honest citizens in casting tholi
votes. But in spite of theh
talk about the reign of terror
the election was move quiet nnd orderly
than nny that had ever taken place in
this city. Every saloon and barrooir
was closed , and merchants , manufactur
ers and professional men were out doing
volunteer duty at the polls.
In only four out of the forty-one voting
ing precincts was there the slightest
rlpplo or disturbance. In thrco of these
products the trouble arose over the at
tempt of imported nnd non-rosldciil
strikers to obstruct the election and ni
attempt to impose upon voters by hand
ing them bogus tickets. In the othoi
precinct four men were taken into cus
tody by the police for interfering with !
prohibition ticket peddler.
These isolated instances were im
mediately magnified Into a terrible on *
slaught upon prohibitionists and dls
patches were sent and circulated broad
cast that a bloody reign of outlawry hai
swept ever Omaha and deprived pro
hiuitionistsfrom casting their votes.
These dispatches had a twofold objcc
inviow. Ono was to throw a llrebram
among voters in the towns nnd village
and thereby increase the prohibitioi
vote. The other was to pave the wa ;
still further to the long-hatched schomi
to disfranchise Douglas county by thi
cry of fraud and intimidation.
From the present outlook the prohibi
tionists will got very poor comfort fron
tin-owing out tlio vote of Douglas county
But THE BHI5 dooms it its duty to dispo
'the false impressions which these zealot
are trying to crcato ns regards the con
duct of the election in Omaha.
DILLON AND 0'IUllKN Iff AMKIUCA.
The Irish loaders have arrived li
America , fresh from the clutches of Bal
four. They have temporarily ad journci
their cases from the courts of Dublin ti
the forum of American public opinion
and , whatever the results , they are a
least in no danger of being arVcstod f01
exorcising the right of f reo speech.
Dillon and O'IMon have come to np

the history of the homo rule movement
Rccontbyo-elcctlons hold out llattorinj
indications of a coming victory. It 1
apparently only necessary for the fol
lowers of Parnoll to keep up their vigoi
ous campaign in order to place Glndston
once more at the head of alTairs and t
rcalisso at last their long dream of horn
rule. The Irish statesmen are presse
hard for funds to maintain tlio onoi
inous drain upon them. The expense
of the party and of the campaign ar
great and constant. The immediat
constituents of the men who are s
bravely' fighting for their people can d
little to meet this demand. To Amoric
principally tlio homo rule party i
obliged to look. And it is to bo hopoi
that it will not now look in vain , as i
never has before.
Ireland has a largo representation ii
America. It is a useful and loyal olc
mcnt of our citizenship. It is nc
strange that the presence of BO man
sons of the grcon isle should lend tuor
than the ordinary American enthusiast
for freedom to the immense moral suj
port which has always gene out froi
this country to the homo rulora. Tb
influenceof this united backing c
American public sentiment may not liav
been largo directly as applied to Brltis'
politics , but without the financial aii
which it has carried with it the honv
rule loaders would have boon crusho
long ago. Now that they appear to b
nearer success than ever Iwforo , the ar
swer should bo oven more prompt an
hourly than formerly ,
Dillon and O'Brien represent a cane
thnt Americans have sustained and ai
still willing to oncourngo.
TUB DIUFT OF r
Westward the star of ornplro sti
takes its way , despite the attraction
and inducements olTerod by other go <
graphical divisions of the country.
The federal census for tlio past decadi
just completed , proves that the groj
west ia tlio magnet for the vast majorlt
of homo-seekers. The completed tnbl
of population divide the states into fh
groups. Of those , the northern centn
comprise what may bo termed tli
agricultural empire of the north , takln
Ohio on the cast , Indiana , Missouri an
Kansas on the south , and cxtoudln
north to the British possessions. Twolv
states included in this group show an ii
crease in population of llvo millions. I
round numbers they contnln twenty-oil
million souls. The Faciiie nnd Rock
mountnJn states nnd territories , formln
properly n portion of the great wes
add to this total thrco million pcopli
or a total Increase in ton years of a frai
lion ever six millions.
The north Atlantic division , comprli
lag nine states and including Kow Yor
nnd Pennsylvania , ranks second in popu
alien nnd increase. The total approxi
mates sixteen millions nnd the Increase ,
two million eight hundred thousand ,
The southern slates , seventeen in num
ber , comprising the two remaining
groups , show the splendid results ot tlu
enterprise und activity which lias been t
conspicuous factor in the development o
the now south. The growth in tct
years Is n fraction over thrco nnd i
quarter million , almost equalling tlu
average of the two western groups.
Tlio growth and development of the
west is practically in its infancy. "While
the eastern states Included In the northern
orn central group have pnod the llooi
tldo of progress , the great- west am
northwest , from the Mississippi to th <
Pacific , nlTord the most lavitlng Heidi
for homo seekers and investors. Pos
Bossing one-fourth of the entire populn
tlon of the country , and Increasing a
the rate of thrpo hundred thousand i

AK EXTlltL SKSSIOX OF COXGKESS.
It appears to bo generally understood
that tlio president will at nn curly unj
call congrc&s together In extra session
Tlio fact that there are more than thir
teen hundred bills on tlio calendars o
the two houses would scetn to sufllciontlj
justify convening congress in advance o
the constitutional date ot mooting , the
first Monday in December , but the real
cause of urgency is found in the electioi
and apportionment bills , wliich will oc
cupy iv great deal of timo.
Tlio election bill has parsed the lioust
and is In the senate , where it may b <
discussed to the end of the short sessioi
unless the sonata can crteot a change it :
the rules restricting debate. This is
likely to prove a difficult matter , for the
reason that a number of republican son
ntors have gene on record as opposed t <
such a change. They may have alterei
their minds since , but oven in that casi
a departure from tlio uniform practice
of the senate since the organization o
the government regarding debate wil
not bo easily accomplished. The clcc
tion bill probably cannot bo passed with
out a rule restricting debate , but in ani
event the contest is certain to bo pi-o
longed , and hence the importance o
using all the tlmo available before tlu
date of regular meeting.
The apportionment bill is also curtail
to consume a great deal of tlmo. I
would seem to bo a matter that might hi
very easily and quickly disposed of , bu
numerous difllcultics are likely to bo on
countered. The ratio of ropresentatioi
generally expected to bo adopted is om
hundred and seventy-five thousand
wliich would increase the membership o
the house to about throe hundred am
fifty-seven members , but the stales tha
would lose representation under this considerable
siderablo increase in the ratio , and pos
sibly some that would only retain thoii
present representation , are lilcoly t <
make a fight for a lower basis. It is i
very serious question whether the mem
bcrshin of the house should bo materially
increased , and while there are some win
will contend that there is no valid objco
tlon to dolnjr so , the largo majority arc
likely to favor the view thnt a house ol
about th rco hund red and fifty member ;
is likely to bo more ofliciont and a bcttoi
business body than ono with a miiol
larger membership.
If congress is convened by the middh
of the present month a good deal of un
finished business can bo disposed ol
before the holiday rocosa , and the deck !
cleared for the contest over the eloctiot
bill. There appears to bo a general desire
sire among the republicans for nn cxtn
session , and it is not doubted that tlu
president will accede to it.
-I QUESTION OF
A Now Yorl ; firms of importers has
taken an appeal to the Unltod State :
circuit court from the decision of tin
board of customs appraisers in supper
ot the law classifying worsteds a
woolens. Tlio act was pa'ssod last May
and the journals of the house record
ono hundred and thirty-eight yeas , noni
in the negative , and the presence o
seventy-five members who did not vote

tlio act was put on its passage two him

paused , The question raised by tin
importers is whether tlio law was con
Btltutionally enacted , and tills questioi
nlono will properly bo considered by the
courts. The matter for judicial docls
ion la simply whether the language o
the constitution authorizes the spoakc :
of the house to count ns present member
not voting in order to establish i
quorum. *
The constitution provides that "oncl
house may'determine the rules of it
proceedings , " and "a majority of oacl
shall constitute a quorum to do business
but a smaller number may adjourn fron
day to day , and may bo authorized t
compel the attendance of ultjont members
bors , in euoh manner and under site ]
penalties as each "house may pru
vide. " There is wide diversity of opln
ion regarding the scope of this provls
ion , though it certainly appears to war
runt the view that the power of compc
the attendance of members involves th
authority to count thorn when present I
necessary to establish a quorum. Tim-
is another provision of the constitution
however , which seems to give a dliToi
ont aspect to the matter in controversy
and that is the ono which provides tha
"tho yeas nnd nays of the mumbon-i e

The \Vclrcl Story Told by n Now York
A well-known lawyer who has alwa.\
taken conslecrablo prldo In the class'lo
mould of his cloan-shavon face appeared
at the ooiinty court house recently wltli
uwcll-dnvolopod growth of very unbe
coming board , says the Now York Times.
Kvery friend that ho mot waut.nl to
know why ho didn't get shaved , and 11-
mvlly hocorrahnl half a dozen of thoni
In a corner and told thorn the reason.
lie had never learned the art of shav
ing himself and had always patronized
ono barber. Not long ago this barbui\
dropped Into tlio habit of tolling hlia
that ho ( the lawyer ) had amostuorlcovo.
The lawyer didn't mind much what \\a (
barber thought , of his eye so long as ha
shaved him satisfactorily. Hut having
discovered that the lawyer's eye was
mesmeric , the barber wont a step further
nnd once In a while attor making a slip
with his razor would explain that it
was because ho was incsmofi/.ed BO that
ho did not know what ho was about.
Matters wont on this way for a week erse
so , the barber insisting that ho was
mesmerized every tlmo the lawyer
looked fiqnaroly nthim , and the lawyer
taking itAr granted that the mesmerism
business was a dodge of the barber's to
excuse the occasional cuts of his razor.
A different aspect was put on the case ,
however , the last tlmo the barber
shaved his lawyer customer. Loaning
ever him after ho had llnished , ho asked
it the lawyer thought a man would bo
excusable for cutting the throat of ono
who mesmerized him. The lawyer said
ho certainly would not bo excusable and
got out of the chair asquieklv as possi
ble. Ho afterward .loarnod Unit the
barber had become n perfect crank on
the subject of mesmerism and nothing
will persuade him that ho did not have
a narrow escapo. lie will probably go
to another harbor some time , but at
present his nerves are so shaken by the
occuiTpnco that ho prefers to wear mi un
becoming board to sitting down in any
barber's chair.

Garden and Foros has warmly advo
cated saving the last grove of giant HO-
quoins , "tho big trees , " in Tularo
county , California , and both houses of
congress have passed unanimously a bill
setting apart the grove forever as a pub
lic park , says u writer in llarpor's
weekly. The act secures also the springs
of streams that llow through the park ,
nnd provides for the preservation of tlio
timber and natural objects , for the pro
tection of the fish and game , and for the
maintenance of the park In its natural
condition.
Garden nnd Forest now asks why a
similar reservation should not bo made
of a tract of the redwood forest in the
coast range. Tlio trees are so valuable
that they are rapidly falling under the
axe , and trees almost as interesting : uj
the big trees , and oven more beautful ,
will disappear. It hopes , also , that the
committees will report the Yosomllo
park bill , and undoubtedly in reserving
those noble tracts from destruction congress -
gross might bo stiro of universal public
approval.
The public Interest In forcsty , which
has been faithfully and forcibly fostered
by Garden and Forest , lias arisen hap
pily in time tosavo much that ought to
bn saved , but could bo saved only by a
strong expression of opinion. The great
beauty and tlio universal enjoyment of
the parks which have been 'laid out
within recent years have shown what an
immense bonollt and delight a llt
tlo forethought mnj' sccuro to our chil
dren. The reservation of Niagara , in
Now York , and the earnest struggle for
the Adirondack forest , are fruits of the
spirit which 1ms been awakened , nnd
whether the parks are vast tracts in tlio
wilderness or breathing spaces in tlio
city , the feeling which recurves them ,
and which in turn they develop and en
courage , is a source of the purest publiu
pleasure.
of tlio Nuii Moth.
From various parts of Bavaria coinn
alarming news of the destructive rav
ages of the nun moth , says the London
Dally News. For a couple of centuries
or more the forests on tlio continent
have been attacked by this pest at long
intervals ; but never , it would seem , with
more disastrous results than at pres
ent Tlio Forest department of the min
istry of finance reports that the plague
extends over nearly all Havaria south of
the Danube , and so great is the fertility
of tlio insect that no measures of destruc
tion are of any avail. It attacks oh lolly
the pine and lir , with which Unvarian
forests abound , but does not dospino the
beech , oak and other forest trees , and Iw
oven known tofoed'on tOirubs and garden -
don plants. It never attacks corn or
wheat , and there is ono tree it will not
touch , namely , the horse chestnut.
"Tho means of destruction are various.
Forest bonllros are one. The insects
are attracted by the lire nnd
are smothered in the smoke , but
only a comparatively small iiunibor are
killed. Children and boys nro also sent
out to destroy llio Insoc-tH. Hut the only
really ollloiont gonornl mcasuro seems
to bo the cutting down of whole forests
when much infested , Ono other method
in used by the state , but in not within
rouoh of " commnncH. A largo oloclrlo
light is placed in the forest by night.
Thin utti acts hundreds of thousands of

through which a rapid exhaust current
of air is forced , sucking in the Insects
