Als that since I860 the republican party ha elected the president Bovcn times out o n possible eight. A VAHTY that is not responsible fo anything has a great advantage in ai election.

Few events 1 the history of the state afford strongo reasons for ( 'onoral and hearty tluuikt pivlng than the defeat of prohlbitior It subordinates all other results and reinforces inforcos the material and spiritur strength of the state.

Iloyd , ilcmoc'rnt , leads Richards , repub lican , by1,13.3 votes , ami Powers , alii- ntU'C , by ( I100. It Is more than probable that Mr. I'owcra will decrcaso the dls- lance between himself and Mr. 13oyd considerably in the western section of the state from whioh returns have not yet been received , and Mr. Richards may albo gain upon 3oyd , so that the olllcial count may bo necessary to deter mine the result. The intnrest In the governorship being moro than that in the other state oil- ! cers , wo have boon unable to procure re turns that justify a rational conclusion. Tlio state Is uncomfortably close , but with the exception of Mr. lUchardn the chances iiro more favorable for the re publican candidates on tlio state ticket. 11 is maliifc.4 that the three republican candidates for congress are beaten by decisive majorities. The democrats elect Mr. Bryan in the First district over Connell , and demo crat and alliance candidate , Mclvclghan , has swept the Second district by a very largo majority. In the Third district Dorsoy nnd Thompson , the republican and demo cratic candidates , are eclipsed by Kom , the alliance candidate. The umi-es for thia political revolu tion arc well known to the readers of Tin : HUB , and will bo fully discussed horoaf- tor. tor.The The contest for the governorship is almost triangular. Tiioro will not bo over five thousand diffcronuo in the votes of either Boyd , illchnrds or Powers. Ucturns so far received indi cate that Boj'd is elected by from thrcoto five thousand plurality. It may take the olllcial count to determine the rosull on the other state olllcurs. The next legislature , so far as can bo learned , will be democratic nnd alliance. The republicans will bo in the minority in both houses for the llrst time in the history of Nebraska. Prohibition has met its Waterloo. It is defeated by fully eighteen thousand outside of Douglas county and by over forty thousand including Douglas county. Tills means that high license and local option will remain the policy of the state for inanv years to como. t'oit 1'iiuGtti'iss. The magnificent victory achieved by the people of the state in 'tho con- teat with fanaticism restores Ne braska to its place among progressive western states. The doubt and depres sion provoked by the prohibition agita tion have givoa way to confidence , con gratulations and content. The olToct of tlio triumph of common sense is already visible in Omaha. General - oral activity pervades all departments of business. The current of trade tem porarily checked has rebounded with renewed vigor , merchants ovlnco a.on - fldcnco not felt for two years , and indus trial enterprises move forward with restored strength. The millions of idle capital in the banks fool the impulse of thu victory , and will soon add forcu to the tide of commerce. A notable and significant evidence of the general feeling is the activity among investor ? and builders. Orders have already been given architects to push work on deferred plans , projects held in abeyance arc iK'ing perfected , and it is safe to predict that building operations during the coining winter will approach if not surpass the great record of 18SC-7. And this will bo but the first faint rumble of what will follow. To gather the full fruits of victory , Omaha must bo alert. Organization is essential to success. Unity and harmony must take the place of past divisions and discords. Business men and capitalists must pull together and by their united action and unshaken confidence attract the millions of outside capital seeking profitable investment in the west. A tithe of the unity and zeal displayed in routing prohibition , directed to the up building of Omaha and attracting in vestors , would place the nity in position to reap the full advantages of her com manding position. ' FOltKIGX IXTKHKST Tff 'L'llE HESULT. Extraordinary interest was manifested in England regarding the elections in this country , and tlio success of the dem ocrats in electing a majority of the next house of representatives has caused great gratification in the industrial centers of Great Britain. Doubtless a similar feeling prevails in continental countries whore there is apprehension of a loss of trade with thid country to result from the now tariff policy. Tlio exaggerated importance given abroad to the outcome of the election is duo of course to a faulty understanding of our IMjlitical system , which will bo speedily corrected with the olToct of greatly moderating the exuberant satisfac tion Dover democratic success. But the fact that foreigners deeply inter ested in retaining the American market find Mich great gratification in the suc cess of the pnrty which they believe stands for absolute free trade Is at least suggestive. It will bo Interesting to observe whether the result of our elections will have any olYcct in determining the future > turo commercial policy of European countries with respect to the United States. Tlio subject is receiving the serious consideration of European states' men , but deliberation does not take a re taliatory direction as it did when th < discussion of the subject was first outorcc upon. Intelligent investigation has ovl dently brought the conviction that i tariff war against the United State : would bo at once a most impracticable and unprofitable experiment , even if id the European countries could bo united In it , and obviously this would bo next tc impossible.Vhnttho continental coun tries appear to bo aiming at Is to ofToct such an arrangement among themselves as will onttblo them to depend loss upon tills country than they do at present , bul tholr efforts in this direction thus far dc not promUo a favorable result , nor is it at all probable that any satisfactory ar rangement can bo olTocted. The no French tariff is distinctly hostile t ( Austria , while the commission to con elder the proposed Austro-Gorman cus toms union bus reported against tin proposition. There are practically in surmountable difficulties in the way of a union of the contltiontiil nations for prosecuting a tariff war against the United States. So far as r'ngland Is concerned It would , ns Mr. Gladstone said in a recent address at Dundee , bo suicidal folly for her to at tempt commercial retaliation. She Is constrained by every consideration both of business and political Interests to pur sue a commercial policy Independent of nil other European countries , and there can bo no doubt that she will do this. If it shall appear that her trade with the United States Is diminished by the now tariff , her manufacturers will vary likely do ns Mr. Gladstone has suggested , pro duce a finer class of goods for the Amer ican market. It Is not altogether improbable that there will bo modifications of the now tariff law by tlio party that onmtlcd it before it goes out of power 111 the house of representatives , The expression of public opinion warrants the expectation that this will bo done. IJut whatever changes may bo tniulo will have rofor- oneo to the interests and wishes of our own people , wholly regardless of foreign opinion. The gratification of European manufacturers with tUo result of the election is a waste of emotion. Tholr welfare is a matter in which the Ameri can people , of whichever political party , have not the slightest concern. TIIK XKXT COXG1SKSS , In the house of representatives of the Fifty-second congress the democrats and alliance men will have a majority , as ap pears from the returns now in , of about ono hundred and thirty. The relative strength of these two parties can not yet bo accurately ottitod , but undoubtedly the democrats will have a clear working majority , so that they will control the organization of the house and bo able to pass all measures of partisan legislation. Democrat lo gains have baon niado in nearly every republican state : the losses of that party have been chicly in the south , whore democrats have boon suc ceeded by alliance mon. Among the northern states the alliance movement in Kansas and Nebraska was the most successful in retiring republican repre sentatives. The alliance representation in the next congress may number fifty , but it will bo powerless to accomplish any thing. The democrats will not need its assistance and it could gain nothing by uniting with the republicans. It will not Jtold the balance of power , but will bo merely an isolated contingent that must beg for whatever it desires from the democratic majority. Very likely that party will bo disposed to comply with some of its demands , but that will bo to no purpose unless they nro acceptable to a republican senate. It is to bo expected that the democrats will seek to win the favor of republican alliance men in the north and to remove the hostility of democratic alliance men in the south , but their ef forts to do this can avail nothing with out republican approval. The republican party will bo In n smaller minority in the popular branch of the next congress than it lias boon since the party came into power , but however much republicans may regret this fact it involves no menace to the public interests or to these policies which the largo majority of republicans desire to have preserved. The safe guard of these is in a republican presi dent whoso term will bo co-oxtonsivo with the democratic liouso of represent atives just elected and in a republican senate that will continue several yours longer. ItKSUItTS. In the south the Farmers' Alliance has scored a substantial success , but bv methods directly opposite to those adopted in Nebraska. In South Carolina lina , for instance , it has elected Ber Tillraan governor , all the state olllcert and a majority of the legislature. What ever power the state government can ex orcise for the benefit of South Carolimi farmers they am now command without lot or hindrance. It is worth while to refer to the man ner in which this substantial result was accomplished. Reali/.ing that their votes had for years furnished thogrcatoi part of the democratic majority in thai state , they selected their candidate , pro ceeded to elect delegates to the regular state convention , and in that body nomi nated their mon and made their princi ples the platform of the party. Tholi opponents made a loud protest and finally fused with the republicans to defeat - feat the alliance at the polls , The in evitable result followed and the cause o the producers is completely triumphant in South Carolina. What has happened in South Carolim is what might have happened in No braska. The southern members of tin alliance have also won a great deal bj applying the same tactics in tlio con grcssional districts. They induced r good many democratic candidates foi congress to commit themselves to thoii sub-treasury scheme and to othoi measures by which they hope to im prove the conditions of farming in tin south. Just what they have accomplished plishod in this direction remains to be soon , but doubtless they have made ai impression on the next congress. The lesson of these different result ! in the south and the west is that it is i good deal easier to accomplish thing ; through the medium of an establishei organization than to do it by founding t now party. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ WITH the Hon.

What is tin Third ward's loss , however. Is Lincoln' : gain. Wo congratulate Lincoln. TIIK onllro republican county am legislative tickets wont down in the wreck , but the victims may derive semi consolation from the fact that they fel victim's to the fight against y.'chlbltion As SIIOHT have boon expected , dlsns tor has overtaken the state ropublicai ticket in Kansas. The defeat of Hum phroy and his followers is a meritei retribution. The acts of the. present Btato uovernmont are stamped with hypocrisy , mnjleoand trickery. Under the guise of enforcing the laws , mem bers of the romibllcan party who refused to bow to IhaMoloch of Intolerance have boon driven fi' iti its ranks. Unfi'kmilly towns were Harassed by a horde of stnto constable ; , while- friendly communities enjoyed liberty. ' Political contributions wore levied and collected from liquor vendors as the price of pence , while tlio beneficiaries hobnobbed with the plans purists. The principles of republican ism wore drugged In the mlro nnd tlio machinery of the party basely perverted to selfish onds. Under such circum stances conservative republicans flocked to other parties for relief , and the re sult Is to be seen in the rout of Hum phrey and his spotter , and tlio wreck of the congressional delegation. The lessen Is ono that republican loaders of Kansas must heed , TIIK defeat of Congressman Carter in Montana goes to show that political gratitude Is a lost art in the Bitter Root region. Mr. Carter is ono 'fol the most active and energetic western repre sentatives. Ho was instrumental in uniting western delegations , securing legislation which placed mil lions in the pockets of the minors and sheep growers of the state , and com manded the i expect and confidence of his associates. Ills services to Montana were invaluable and his defeat by an unknown proves that faithfulness In pub lic lifo goes unrewarded where faction is harnessed nnd malice holds the rolns. \VllKUU will the colonels turn now ? Is there ono calm , sequestered nook boy onel the valloyof the shadow In which to rest their exhausted lung.- * ? Iowa nnd Kan sas will have none of them. The Dakotas nro too poor to give them shelter. There scorns to bo but ono spot available Oklahoma.

That on March - ' , the day after Turner's death , she was on the point of executing the written request of her late master when thu sons took the valise away from her.

Tliuso firms of inannfacttirors of prop rietary medicines , nlno out of ton , llvo solely hy the newspapers , and FOUIO- Mines are admirably managed , writes ( Jlmrlos P. Chandler in the Alodieal Uc- cord. I know some establishments in which tburo is a roynlar htalV employed ; I know something about ) them , t > cc'euPo ; they try to bribu mo to cerUfy to the value of their concoctions. As 1 nay , there is a regular stair. There is the literary man , who writes the letters , giving marvelous accounts of marvelous cures ; there is the artist who shows thu patient before * and after taking twenty- f two bottles of tlio medicine ; there is thn f poet , who composes poesim upon the Hub- / jcot ; there is the liar , who swears to what ho knows isn't true , and the forger , who produce ) testimonials from his own imagination. Without exag geration , I should say that nine out of . / tea e > f these proprietary medicines are * * frauels , pure and simple ; the real busi ness isuelvortising for elupes. Themoel- ical part of it is but u side issue. I am pretty sure , if J were to pound up brickbats - bats , and upend $100,030 in olTuringit at a dollar an ouncoas n mire euro forsonio disease which cannot 1)3 cured , I should got buck- sit least $110,000 , thus giving mo $10,000 for my trouble. Nino-tenths of the medicines sent out in this fashion have no moro curiitivo properties than brickbat dust. Hardships In India. Ill a land of louohes you should tliinlc twice before wading in water. Other wise you may emerges with a shaggy covering of jot black. Something like this , according- the London News , happened to two llrllish warriors in India , Privates Speed and Davis , who , having loft Uaroilly for a day's spe > rt and lost tholr way , wore fastened upon by the leeches in tlio pools , which they hud to cross haro-loggud.

It is u marvel that , the two did not die of hardship. The heat in July in Upper India is simply lurriflo. ' " Yet the two survived It , exposed lo the 1 sun'd rays during the day , sleeping in the open iiir ut night.
