The returns from the cighty-fivo coun
ties noiv In arc Ixsiiig revised as rapidly
as the ofllclal canvass is completed in

revisions naturally result in a number
of alterations which as a whole may
affect the Until result.
The aggregate vote so far reported
Is as follows :
Richards , 00,2,10 ; Hoyd , 72.32o ; Pow
ers , 71,1-JU. The four counties not yet
heard from gave n total vote last year of

Tlio most promising man is Crisp of

iccship and is a man of much force and
ibility. It is likely that ho will como

especially satisfactory to the busincssin-
torcsts of the country at the head of the
. .ominilico on ways and means , but
Hreckinridgo is a treed deal bettor lilted
for leadership on the lloor.
It is plain that the democrats have
the next house by a tiresome majority ,
but it is by no means evident that they
have leaders capable of making the
most of the advantage.
TIIK KI-TKCT - OiV TUB SKA'.ITE.
The result of Tuesday's elections will
ifTcet the standing' of parties in the
United States senate , and after March 4
next the republican majority in that
body will bo reduced. It will remain
large enough , however , to frustrate any
partisan legislation on the part of the
next house of representatives.
There are now in the senate forty-
seven republicans and thirty-seven
democrats. Wyoming and Idaho will
increase the republican side to lifty-ono ,
o that if all the republican seals wore
retained after March 4 of next year the
majority of that party in the senate
would bo fourteen. It is pretty
certain , however , that several re
publican scats will bo lost. The
terms of sixteen republican senators ex
pire March , 1891. Those are : Leland
Stanford , California ; Henry M. Teller ,
Colorado ; Orville II. Plait , Connecticut ;
Charles I ? . Farwoll , Illinois ; William B.
Allison , Inwa ; John J. Ingalls , Kansas ;
John I' . Jones , Nevada ; Henry W. Blair ,
Now Hampshire ; William M. Kvarts ,
Now York ; Gilbert A. Pierce , North Da
kota ; John II. Mitchell , Oregon ; J. Don
ald Cameron , Pennsylvania ; Gideon C.
Moody , South Dakota ; Justin S. Merrill ,
Vermont ; Watson C. Squire , Washing
ton ; John C. Spoonor , Wisconsin. Of
these , Allison and Merrill have boon reelected -
elected , leaving fourteen to whom suc
cessors arc to bo chosen. One , Spooncr
of Wisconsin , will certainly bo suo-
cuecled by a democrat ; the indications
are that Evarts of Now York and Far-
well of Illinois will give place to demo
cratic successors ; both parties are
claiming the legislature in Now Hamp
shire , which will elect n successor to
Senator Blair , with the chances rather
in favor of the democrats ; and in Kansas
the prospuol is that Senator Ingalls will
have to give way to a representative of
the alliance.
Conceding the loss of four republican
seats , the senate after March 4 next ,
with a membership of eighty-eight ,
would have forty-eovon republicans and
forty-one democrats , nnd this probably
will bo the standing of the parties in the
Bouato until March 4 , IS93. At that
time the terms of sixteen republican
senators expire , and as the legislatures
that will choose their successors will
very generally bo elected in the , presi
dential year , 18U2 , it is highly probable
that all of them will be succeeded by re
publicans. The outlook , therefore , is
that the national senate will certainly
remain in republican control for at least
eight years , and It is quite unnecessary
to consider what may happen buyout !
that tlmo. There is ample assurance in
this promise of security against any extreme -
tromo partisan legislation that might
injuriously atTcct the financial and busi
ness interests of the country.
Endless possibilities are suggested by
the election results , among them the
otlcct upon the presidential chances of
the two Now York aspirants that mtiy
onsuo. Will the election of Pattlson in
Pennsylvania and the aggressive fight
of General Palmer in Illinois , which
may eond him to the national sonata ,
place these democratic loaders in the list
of possible presidential candidates two
years honcoV Pattison has twice led the
democratic party of the Keystone state
to victory. This amply attests that ho
enjoys the full confidence of the democ
racy of Pennsylvania , and in the late
election ho attracted to his support a
large number of republicans. He has u
good record nnd is quHo as able as several
oral democratic presidents the country
has had. There is no question regard
ing the soundness of his democracy. IIo
would have no hostility in his own state
if ho should bo tmulo the candidate of his
party for the presidency , as cither of the
Now York aspirants would bo certain to
have. As to General Ptilmcr , ho has the
advantage of being a western man , and
thus would moot the demand of n largo
clement in the democratic party which
believes that the candidate two years
hence ought to bo taken from the west.
IIo is a most vlgonms political
fighter and is thoroughly in ac
cord with the most radical demo
cratic ideas. Hiti advanced ago
and the fact that ho has not always boon
a democrat might impair his claims , but
men as old have been candidates for the
presidency , and the other circumstance
ought to bo sulllclonlly atoned for by a
zcalou.i service to the democracy for
nearly twenty years. Certainly there is
at present no more thorough democrat
in the country than Palmer.
All the indications are that there will
bo a very earnest and hitter light be-
twcon the partisans of Cleveland and
Hill for the control of the delegation
from Now York in the next democratic
national convention. The vcmU'lla is
even now on , and as the situation now
appears Hill has rather the better of it.
A divided delegation is probable , but nt
any rule it has boon demonstrated that
Cleveland cannot carry Now York with
out the active support of Hill , and it is
to bo presumed tlio latter could not suc
ceed there without the assistance of
Cleveland's followers. Under the cir
cumstances It would obviously bo haz
ardous to nominate either , and this maybe
bo the conclusion of tlio party bsforo the
national convention is held. Undoubt
edly the general feeling nt present is in
favor of Cleveland. The south espec
ially is almost a unit for him. But
southern democrats may not dominate
tlio next national convention HO com
pletely as they did the last
one. Western democrats are very
likely to have more to &ny
than heretofore , nnd if it
shall appear to them that party har
mony would bo promoted by selecting a.
. nndidato outside of Now York they will
not hesitate to enforce this view. In that
jaso the successful leader of the Penn
sylvania democracy , if earnestly sup
ported by his state , would have a vury
good chance of carrying oT ( the nomina
tion.
tion.At
At any rate it Is plain that the results
of last Tuesday's elections have dis
tinctly introduced now possibilities into
the democratic situation. They have
changed the relations of several slates
to the two _ . great parties and added to
the list of available luon for democratic
presidential candidates. Ono of these
the New York democracy with its rival
aspirants may have to accept.
EXTKXD Till ! FlllE LIMITS.
Omaha is on the threshold of a now
era of progress and prosperity. The
overwhelming triumph of existing law
vitalizes every department of industry ,
proclaims to the counry the broad liber
ality of tho.people and invites all classes
seeking homes in the west to share with
us tlio fruits of energy and thrift. Care
must bo taken , however , to direct reviv
ing activity into channels which will result -
sult in permanent good.
One of the requisites for the permanent
upbuiloing of Omaha is an immediate
extension of the fire limits. Tlio pres
ent law is n positive detriment to tlio
city. It nlTords a premium on flro
traps , discourages permanent buildings
and is a menace to liberal and farsighted -
sighted investors. Experience demon
strates that cheap frame buildings and
veneered structures are a cojtly invest
ment. The amount saved in first cost is
absorbed within live years in repairs ,
whereas brick nnd stone structures in
sure a permanent income with little
outgo. Tlio cry of a trust or corner in
brick is bosli. The extension of tlio lire
limits will immediately result in the es
tablishment of largo brick yards which
will supply allcomers , giving perma
nent employment to Omaha workingmen -
men any affording any oncrgotlo me
chanic an opportunity to bacome a builder
without the consent of. the contracting
owners of existing yards.
But graver reasons demand n radical
oxtonston of the flro limits. The city
must protect itself from the over pres
ent danger of widespread disaster by
fire. Personal interests must not weitrh
against the common good. The time
has como for the council to act and cf >
fectually stop the erection of fire traps
within a ntono's throw of the business
heart of tlio city.
L.ot the council act promptly on tin
pending ordinance and secure porma
noncv and solidity within the ono milt
limit.

Young blood is getting to tlio front h
American politics to a romarablo | do
greo. The election returns show an in
tercsting condition of things in this re
spcct.
In Massachusetts the people hav <
elected a governor who is thirty-one am
three congressmen who are betwcoi
twenty-eight and thirty-four. In Now
York the mayor chosen for a second torn
is not much over thirty-five , and tin
lawyer chosen to the vastly importan
olllco of district attorney is his junior ,
In Nebraska wo have young Mr. Bryan
aged thirty-one Thoyoung men in all tin
eastern states are still more consplcuou
among mombors-olcet of the legislature
and in several states they almost monopolized
lizod the stump and otlnr features o
party leadership.
The peculiar thing about this is thn
the young men are apparently llndin ;
their honors chiefly at .the hands of tin
democracy. It is throe years now since
the democrats in Massachusetts dis
carded their old timo-worii loaders am
pushed the joungstors to the front. Tin
revival of the party has dated from the
moment when lhat change took effect
The republicans of the east still have
their lesson to learn in this respect.

and Douglas county will feel jubilant
when they learn "that Congressman-
elect Bryan has decided to remove from
Lincoln and lake up his permanent resi
dence in Omaha. To ho sure they have
been waiting for ten years to have the
district divorced from Lancaster and
other republican counties and made dem
ocratic. And now , when it will bocmnc
possible to elect a democrat without a
barrel , they will find young Mr. Bryan ,
who camp from Illinois about four years

monopolize all the honors which Iho
democrats can give. Mr. I'ryan is n

his loader by his premature proposals. Mr.
Gladstone prefers oven now to limit tlio

and to leave tlto English chnrch undisturbed.

ho changes upon it. In presenting so largo
i programmeMr. . Gladstone anticipates an
ibjcction that would imtur.illy bo raised
tamely , that under the present condition
> f parliamentary procedure two or
hrco generations would bo required
o carry It out. This objection
derives additional wolirht from the
beggarly results of the last session , when
-'very Important government measure was
lockea by the opposition. Mr. ( llnctstone's
ixpcdlmcnt for relieving the pressure of
justness Is an American one. He proposes to
nrm .standing committees of the house with
he power of disposing of the details of Icgis-
ation. This experiment was tried in 16S1
ivith excellent results. Two complex metis-
ire ? , the bankruptcy and patent acts , which
could not have been enacted in the ordinary
, vaywcro passed in ono of tuo busiest
sessions through the Instrumentality of n
grand committee- trade. Why similar
Agencies have not been employed during the
ast seven years In facilitating the processes
of legislation it is ililllcult to understand.
Perhaps it has been in consequence of the
.mfortunato phrase which was invented to
describe the system. "Devolution" may have
sounded like revolution , " and have created
irojmlleo against standing committees. Mr.
Gladstone , nothing daunted , revives the old
uuno and assumes that with the employment
of largo committees legislation can bo greatly
expedited m the future.

The grand maniruvres of the troops in the
north ol' Franco this fall have raised some
ry curious nnd important questions in mili
tary science. The use of the smokeless pow
der deprives strategists in n great measure of
ono of the chief means of determining an cae-
ny's position. In this reject it carries back
the art of war towards the primitive times
when men fought with arrows. Many things
that lately were comparatively of but little
niportiinco in attracting the enemy's ' atten
tion must now bo looked after and avoided.
Some discussion is now going on about uni
forms : for example , DOOJ the color red moro
than others catch the eye at u considerable
distance , ns has been believed I Late experi
ence seems to show that cither very light or
very dark colors nro moro easily seen than
red in such u case. In the French innnojuvras
olten the bnttllons of chasseurs could bo
made out when infantry could not ; nnd the
bursts of the men clad in their dark jack
ets wcro iudcsccrnible when their heads and
legs could not bo seen. This , of course ,
was at great distances ; below 1,000 or 1,500
metres it made little difference. Still , since
battles nro likely moro and moro to bo fought
at long range , red uniforms may bo found
to possess some advantages. In our civil
war the rod trousers of tbo Zouaves were , wo
believe , looked on with disfavor ns offering
too good a target for the enemy , and also as
Inducing him to aim lower , and bo avoid over
shooting. Uut this was nt rather close quar
ters. Moro than of anything elao soldiers are
likely to learn to rid themselves of every
thing white and of everything that glitters.
Of ten in the Nerd a sparkling line could bo
made out in the distance where nothing else
could bo distinguished , This was caused by
the flashing of oflleors' sabres ; and from their
number and disposition a very peed pnoss
could bo made as to ttio importance ot the op
posing forco. Sabres ami bayonets will have
to bo bronzed in future , as well as camp uten
sils ; tents , also , must bo no longer white , nor
the men's havelocks , nor olUcors' pugarccs.
Apropos of the questions , which tbo Temps
has been discussing , a correspondent writes
to it to point out that it was precisely because
its color attracted less attention , oven uudei
the shining slsics of Italy , that Garibald
chose the redsuirt fora uniform for himself
and bis men.

King William the third , of the Nether
lands , now In his seventy fourth year , has
been declared incapable of reigning , having
sunk into virtual idiocy. A daughter ten
years of ngo , the offspring of his second mar
riage , Is his only direct heir , and it is moro
than probable that some of his German col
lateral relatives will succeed to his throne.
There Is another branch of the house ol
Orange-Nassau that which , till 1870 , ruled
the Gorman duchy of Nassau , but its domin
ions have been absorbed by Prussia , nnd the
present head of the family Is simply n noble
man. King William's life has been a vicious
ono. His son , the prince of Orange , nick
named Citron ( lemon ) by his follow revelers
at Paris , died a few years ago , worn out by
dissipation. Thus ends that illustrious
bouse , found-oil by William the Silent , the
rescuer of his country from Sp.inkh tyranny
in the sixteenth century , a man who , moro
ncirly than any other historical personage
ago , parallels our own Washington. Fron
some cause or other few if any of AVill
iam's long line of descendants displnyei
any of his virtues or much of his talent , Evei
as far back as the middle of tbo last ci-ntm1 }
tlio representative of the house , who inarrici
ono of the daughters of George II. of Eng
land was described as n hump-backed boor
His grandson was selected us the husband o
George the Fourth's only daughter , the ill
fated Princess Charlotte. Ho appeared , how
ever , in a stnto of intoxication at a royal bal
in London and was thrown usido in couso
quenco for Leopold of Saxo Coburg , after
ward king of the Belgians. It is curious thn
Leopold thus rouboil him of his bride , bu
later became monarch of the states which linu
contjuercd their Independence of Holland
The two houses of O ran go nnd Saxo Cobnrt
seem to have become life-long rivals. Further
more. Holland in the sixteenth anil seven
teenth centuries was foremost among exploring

They show that nations as well as individual
have their rise nnd fall , nnd that morality am

ally to view with n certain decree of sadnos
tbo decadence and virtual extinction of

but themselves , however. 'J'ho prlncos o

While the attention of western Kuropois
concentrated on the lower Danube , Kusslix ts
nnsslng an nnny on the confines of Turkish
Vrnipuln , mid Is preparing to iilvo the perse
cuted Christians of that country the proleo-
Ion for which they Imvo viilnly appealed to
he British government. JJy the treaty of
San Stcfano the czar was recognized as the.
guardian of the privileges promised to the
Vrmcnlan subjects of tbo Sultan. 'Mils nr-
angoment was set aside nt the congress of
llcrlln , nnd there was substituted nn ngrce-
ncaton the part of the Porto to give the
irovinces of Err.erum , Dlarbeklr , nnil Van ,
mil ono or two districts such ns Argbann ,
oc.il administrative autonomy. This prom
ise to reform the methods of government in
Armenia constituted , along with tbo session
of Cyprus , the consideration for England's '
gnarnnteo of the pultun's Asiatic possessions.
Armenia , llko Hilly before the war of 185 ! ) , Is
n geographical expression , the terltory oc
cupied for tigess by tbo Armenians being
iioiv divided between IJussla , Persia mid
Turkey. Tlio people , which was once com
puted nt 110,090,000 , would now , even If
united , scarcely number 10,003,000. , It is ,
tiowevcr , the Armenian subjects of the Porto ,
though they nro but a fraction of the Ar-
inenlan nation , that contribute tbo largest
part of the revenue which goes , or ought to
o , toward Iho payment of interest on the
Turkish bonds. In spltoof the hardships
mil exactions to which they nro subjected ,
they nro Indefatigable workers and they
manage to save money. They nro ns success
ful In commerce and llnanco ns the Jews , but
unlike the Jews , the Armenians prldo them-
.elves . on their ollldoncy in agriculture. If
they could secure ordinary guarantees of
security and order , they would make their
country what It used to bo , the granary
and garden land of western Asia , Their
vineyards and pasture Ininls arc of remark
able extent and quality ; the yield of wheat Is
often fifteen fold , and eoHjn , silk anil to
bacco also llguro conspicuously among Ar
menian products. The country produces n
bncd of horses famous in ancient as well as
modern times. In mineral wealth tlio Ar
menian highlands surj ass the richest district
of Asia Minor. There Is historical and recent
evidence that the land abounds in gold , silver ,
iiwn , lead and mercury , while among its
common minerals and mincr.il products are
alabaster , Jasper , marble , coal , sulphur ,
petroleum unit naphtha. There is , indeed ,
no prlzo In Africa , or in the unsettled Islands
of the Pacific , equal to that which lies open
to seizure in Turkish Armenia.
The days of dashing cavalry and cavalry
men on the continent seem to bo numbered.
In the French maneuvers General Ferron
ordered the cavalry not only to confine itself
to rcconnoitcring , but even ut that , not to ad
vance beyond tbo 1,100 or 1,200-ynrd limit ;
that is , to keep outside the range of the cno-
mysrincs. Tlio German Sllcslau maneuvers
wcro severely criticised by German military
men because the most striking feature of
them was tbo throwing together of great
bodies of cavalry. Austrian military writers
are advocating , howcvcrmost strongly of all ,
a complete reform of the cavalry branch of
tbo service. The cavalry must be content to
lose Its old halo of dash , gallantry and glory ,
just as the knights lost their halos after the
discovery of gunpowder. The lance must bo
thrown away and the sabro must bo loft in
the scabbard. The cavalry must become , in
fact , merely mounted infantry with repeat
ing rlllcs , and must bo drilled more In shoot
ing than In riding. No moro hand-to-hand
struggles , no more sweeping clmrgcs , except
ing , perhaps , when the opposing force is also
mounted , and even then the attacked caval
rymen might do better by sitting still In tbo
saddle and receiving the advancing enemy
with volley firing from their rifles. "Tbo
time of brilliant cavalry charges , on infantry
at least , is gone for good , " writes
an Austrian ofliccr , "and In tbo
war of the future the mount
ed troops must conllno themselves to
tlicso duties : Advanced guard , rccoimoiter-
ing und feinting services ; covering of batter
ies , escorting convoys ; execution of quick
little surprises , as , for instance , hurrying
abend of the operating army , taking posses
sion of some position und holding it n short
time till the infantry conies up. "

The Russianizing of Finland-Is pursued by
the government with great energy. Since
tbo Hussion postal laws wore introduced
there , only about three months ago , the censor
ser bos taken bold of the Finnish press , and
several editors have been heavily lined for
writing against the encroachment of Hussin
upon the autonomy of the province. The
Husslnn language will bo a compulsory sub
ject of instruction in the Finnish nchools next
season , aud the curriculum of these schools
has been fashioned In such a manner that
within four years all subjects of instruction
will bo taught in Russian , and no school books
but those of tbc general empire will bo used.
