With tlio music of bands nnd the dir

There is notono % cheering fact In the
election returns from Nebraska for the
cause of deroociMcy. The party vote
shows an actual falling off. Hlstori
novel- yet pave credit to a general or a
army who only won n ' 'victory" whan
pestilence had decimated the ranks o
in enemy that could never bo overcome
n the fulness of its strength. That
iowcvor , is the nature of the triumph
vhlch the Nebraska democracy cole
> rnted last night in the streets o
Omaha. Outside of the state real demo
srallc victories have been won , though t
'air statement of local causes would
nrgely modify them.
However , the republicans of this groa
state can afford to enjoy the spectacle o
democratic jubllco in Nebraska. I
losscsscs a unique interest as a politl
: al curiosity , It is not probable tha
, ho youngest voter will over see- Its llk <

AltMY llKVOtlilS.
A great deal of valuable legislatioi
relating to the army has boon onactei
by the present congress and several im
[ ) ortunt measures are pending. Con
rcss will obtain suggestions for stil
turther legislation from the annual re
port of the commander of tbo army
General Schoflold , who proposes reform
which will bo found .well worthy of at
tention.
Genera Schofield makes a strong np
peal for an increase in the strength o
the army , not only In humbors , but ii
the character of the recruits. Ho woul <
encourage the enlistment in the army o
young Americans , and undoubtedly i
this could bo done the effect would bo t <
improve the force , but the difficulty i
that the young men of this country
while not lacking tlio military spirit
and as everybody knows making the vor ;
best of soldiers , are very generally in
disposed to subjecting themselves to th <
restraints and discipline of army life. /
measure which passed congress nt thi
last session very materially modified th
old regulations nnd offers bettor induce
ments than ever before1 "for enlistment
It will doubtless have the effect of se
curing a better class of recruits , but i
is probable that the army will continu
to bo kept up chiefly by the onlistmon
of aliens.
As to the expediency of increasing th
numerical strength of the army Genera
Scholiolil offers cogent argument"ha
the popular bontiincnt is not in favor c
a larger standing army , and the com
mauding general may expect his rccom
mendation in this particular to recoiv
very little consideration. The presen
congress will certainly not authoriz
any increase of the army , and the nox
congress will bo so constituted that i
will be more likbly to reduce the mill
tnry establishment than to enlarge ii
What lias already'boon done in the wa ;
of reform will undoubtedly improve th
army , and congress at the coming ses
sion may find it deairablo to institut
some further reforms suggested by Gee
oral Schollold.
ENGLISH FULIOY IP/Mi KOT GUAVQE
A short tlmo ago Mr. Gladstone in :
public address deprecated the sugges
tion that England should adopt a polic
of commercial retaliation toward th
United States , declaring that such
coulee would bo suicidal. Lord Sails
bury , in his speech ut the inauguratlo
banquet of the lord mayor of Lender
said that while the noiv tariff law of thi
country would certainly affect somopoi
tions of British commerce , England ha
no retaliatory scheme , as she -had re
duced her own tariff to the lowest polnl
Thus the leaders of the two great pai
tics in England concur in saying thatth
commercial policy of that country wll
not undergo any change by reason of tli
tariff legislation of the United State ;
and this of course Is conclusive ,
Americans familiar with the cstal
liahed policy of. England have never ha
tUo slightest apprehension that the pro
posal of. hoc merchants and manufae
turors of a policy of retaliation woul
receive any countenance from hop lend
ing statesmen. It is entirely obviou
that such , a schema would bo impract !
cable , and that a serious effort to ouforc
it would , as was said' ' by Mr. Gladstone
bo suicidal. The cotton , breadstuffs an
provisions which England imports fror
the United States she must havo. Sh
could not dispense with thorn wlthou
very great hardship to her people
while imposing a duty on thei
would lesson the advantage he
manufacturers now enjoy in the markol
of the world , because tlyj inevitable h
crease in wages would add to the cost <
production. To embark upon area (
tlonary course of thla kind would Invit
disaster to many English interests whos
'prosperity is dependent unon maintaii
Ing the present policy. It would brln
about a commercial revolution of tl :
most fur-reaching character , that mlgl
very easily eventuate in a political rev <
lution which would overturn1 oxistin
Institutions. The security of Englam
both commercially and politically , Is i
holding fast to the policy she has mall
talneel for more than half n century ,
Undoubtedly the distinguished Ei
glish statesmen who ngreo in beliovin
that the now American tariff will unf ;
vorably affect some portions of tha Bri
ish commerce are right , but this mti
prove to bo loss sorlous t ban IB now a
prohonded. The fact Is that llrltlt
trade with thla country has steadi !
grown , notwithstanding tariff legtsl
tlon , and it may still do so if this ma
kot continues to grow , which of couri
it wilL But in any event England cai
not attempt commercial retaliation , at
there is now most ample assurance that
she will not
TUR nO.IHD OK T
The result ot the election onthofitntc
Lickot below the governorship Is knowr
at last , and nil the republican candidate ;
nro chosen. The most important feature
turo of this result is the fact that the
stale board of transportation remains
wholly In republican hands.
The old board consisted of Cowdory
Bcnton , Lccsc , Hill nnd Stccn. The no\\ \
lioard will consist of Allen , Uenton
Hustings , Hill and Humphrey. A proa' '
responsibility will rest upon the nov
members of the board. It Is in theli
power , more than that of any other scl
of men , to determine the future of the
republican party in Nebraska if tlu
legislature should fall to abolish the
l > oaret nnd to annul its control of rallroai
rates. The subserviency of the olt
board to the railroad influence , and its
persistent refusal to reduce the charges
was the most potent cause of the rovoli
[ n tlie ranks of tha republican party. H
Is for the now members of the board l (
suy whether this folly shall continue
until the policy of suicide is complete.
Two members of the old board Attorney
noy General Loose and Treasurer Hill-
voted for the people and against the rail
roads on every occasion. Mr. Hill's vote
can bo counted for the pcoplo again , but
two more will bo needed. ' Of the nov
members Secretary Alien nnd Commis
sioner Humphrey nro new und untrioe
men in state politics , but they wore nom
inatcd because it was believed they rep
resented the opposite of Cowdery nne
Stcen. They have conducted thomsolvci
well in the campaign and It is sincoroli
to bo hoped that in ollico they will beai
out the promises made in the canvass
If they do they will win a high placi
in public esteem and redeem the rccon
of the party. If they do not they wil
share the disaster which their botraya
of the people's interests will bring upoi
their party.
THIS BEK boliuves that If , In the coursi
of events , the rnto question is again submitted
mittod to the board of transportation , i
will bo discovered that Iho character o
that body has been changed.
AXOTJlfin SILVER CONTEST PRO3IISKE
It is said to bo the prevailing oplnioi
among politicians in Washington tha
the next congress will pass a law author
izing free and unlimited silver coinnge
The democratic and alliance roprcsonta
tives-olcct are almost to a man in favo
of free coinage , and it is stated on wha
appears to bo excellent authority tha
the silver lobby at Washington are thor
otighly confident that their free coinng <
bill will become a law , either with o
without the president's sanction. The ;
are reported to bo already engaged , ii
the preparation of a measure foe intrc
due tion at the coming session , and if i
shall fall of becoming a law at that time
as undoubtedly it will , they will reuov
the contest for it in the next congress
where they feel confident they will sue
cced.
The contemplated measure will pro
vido" for bho coinage of every ounce'c
silver presented at the mints of thi
United States und the payments there
for either in standard dollars or tin
present legal tender notes. Accordlnj
to the Boston Adm-tiser , the amount t
bo paid for all silver presented will b
at the rate of ono dollar and twenty-nin
cents an ounce , and no matter what th
source of the silver , whether producei
in the United States or imported fron
any country anxious to got rid pf its sil
ver coin , the national treasury is t
become the buyer of 'it all , I
is proposed to _ put' no ol
staclo in the way of all th
world dumping its silver upon us , am
receiving therefor not the market value
but its value at parity with gold. I
such a measure as tills became law i
would in effect bo an offer , to the worlt
to exchange our gold for its 'silver 01
oven terms , and of course the resul
would speedily bo to place this countr
on a silver basis.
There is no probability that a meosur
of this , kind can bo passed in the preson
congress , and if ono should bo it woul
certainly bo killed by the oxecutiv
voto. But there will bo n different sltun
tion in the next congress. There will b
Enough free coinage men in the house t
pass such a bill over the president' '
vote , and it is possible there will also b
enough in the senate. It is difficult t
believe that an American congres
could bo induced to adopt legislntlo
that would give to all the world a bonu
of twenty per cent for its unused silvo
coin , but that such a danger confront
the country appears to bo unquestlonr
blc. It is ono of tbo most serious inor
aces connected with the democratic sue
cess at the late elections.

TUR ANAltCnr OF ANANIAS. '
The Now York-annex of the prohlbl
tion campaign ; the chief collector nne :
dispenser of amendment boodle , makes
some astounding disclosures concerning
the election In Nebraska , particular ! }
in Omaha. Tbo people of this city wh <
were in thd forefront of the poncofu
contest of ballots nnd circulated Iron
poll to poll in search of red-handed rio
nnd failed to find It , will bo surprised , i
not pained , to learn , on the hlghca
"Christian" authority , that
"Hlot , bloodshed nnel anarchy wore used t <
cfcat the prohibitory amendment. "
"While the corps of press reporters
tlio police and deputy sheriff !
and the thousands of workers utterly
torly failed to observe this frightfu
condition of affairs hourly dispatches te
the New Yorlc headquarters furnish details
tails of the terrible carnage. Here are
a few choice selections :
"Omaha In the hands of a mob. "
"Hov. Shlnu was kicked out of a crowd one
chased by a mob of 200. "
"Charles A. Coo led the mob. "
"Whisky flowed like wator. "
"Drunks nnd thugs ran wild. "
"In the Second ward the devils la hel
seemed to bo lot loose. "
"At noon Chief Scavey declared hlmsol
helpless and the city in the hands of n mob. '
This latter nss6rUon knocks Ohio
Seavoy's report that "it wn * ono of the
most peaceful general elections ovoi
hold , " into a cocked hat.
Some tlmo afternoon , just as Strlckloi
was forking over fifty-seven dollars foi
dispatches describing the flow of blood-
"Threo ladles wcro assaulted , beaten am
Hod for their lives. "
Amid the mass of thrilling In forma
tion , Lawyer 'Wolfonbargor of Lincoli
contributes these choice moral morsels
"Gallagher Is n villainous scoundrel. "
"T. S. Clnrkson Is another roprescutatlvi
of the liquor anarchists. "
Wolfenbarger wisely refrains fron
divulging the source of his information
It seems to have been a solace to Genera
Funk , who restrained his harrowed sou
and mildly declared :
"Tho rascal Gallagher was out of ofllco , bu
a now rascal hael taken his place. "
From thootllclnl report of the Ilhoom
Johnson fracas , it Is clear that thi
manager of the districtmessongei
service foully attacked nn inoffcusivi
newsboy and was on the point of scalping
the kid wlon } , as Johnson declare ;
dramatically :
"I sprang upon the man and knocked bin
down. "
The subsequent proceedings , accord
ing to the savloi ; of the boy shows tha
the police wore in league with tin
"rummies. " Johnson declares ho wa
dragged to the jail , his clothes olmos
torn _ from his body and was jeered am
insulted. At1 the jail the indignitte
wore piled on thick :
"Smith and I wcro arbitrarily denied th
prlvllCKo of telephoning and were not allowei
by the ofllccrs to send out any messages to ou
friends. "
There are liars and liars , but it mus
bo conceded that for wholesale assault
on truth , as painters of riot and an
archy , anel as concoctors of blood ;
yarns , the Reverend Funk of Now Yorl
and his Omaha contingent are slmpl ;
and supremely unapproachable.
IT is reasonably certain that the Chicago
cage , St. Paul & Kansas Oity will extend
tend from Dos Moiues to Omaha during
the coming year. The Winona & South
western is moving slowly in this dlrec
tion. The Illinois Central cherishes i
dcsiro to share lathe traffic of the city
These projects emphasize the neces
sity ot another bridge over the Missour
river at this point. Until umplo uccom
modation and competition Is had fo
reaching theresity , Omaha cahnot hop
to become the railroad cdnter which ho
location , industries and expanding bus !
ness warrants.
GOVERNMENT DinEcxon SPAULDINX
of the Union Pacific is in favor of doubli
tracking the road from Omaha toOgdon
Tlio more matter of expense does no
bother Mr. Spauldlng. A man whoso lurii
imagination led him to assort that'th
entire west was on the ragged edge o
revolt because' the * government did no
extend the Pacific railroad debt , ncoi
not stop to consider cost or where th
money will como from. As a' projecto
of air lines Director Spaulding wields i

A Storm In the Pampas.
"When wo got into the straight roae
across tlio pampas , says a writer in thi
Gentleman's Magazine , vivid flashes o
lightning illuminated the clouds on th <
horizon , and by the tlmo night fell thoi

accompanied by distant thunder. I nav <
never In my lifo seen grander or mor <
incessant lightning than that which nov
lasted for four hours. Sometimes a Hasl
would run in a serpentine line across the
horizon ; then another would approacl :
the earth and turn baclc to the clouds
at other moments a whole bunch o
forked , tongues would dart out of a clouel
to the ground ; or a broad , straight llosl
would cause us to fear damage to some
place or person.
By and by a hot and stifling wint
began to blow toward us ; the thundoi
rolled above , and , except when the
lightning flashed , it was so dark that we
could not see the road beneath our feet
Now heavy drops of rain began to fall
and wrapping our ponchos round us , we
made up our minds for a peed soaking
For twenty minutes hall aiielrain pouree :

tlio rain ceased and wo saw the star *

Fiddler , in the employ of the Burlington , o :

tnclimcnt led to nn engagement , but It wa
not intended tlmt the marriage should tai ;
place until next spring when their llnancia
condition would warrant them in taking th
step. Matters wcro hastened somewhat
however , by an unto.vnnl circumstance.
Last Tuesday-Fiddler was surprised to re
cclvo n visitor at his boarding place in Louisville
villo , in the lace nnd form of his finance
She told him that her employer , Mr. Phlfci
had discharged her peremptorily bccailso In
claimed that she was. too friendly with th
boarders. Fiddler-was of course happy t
sco his girl , and arrangements wor
concluded by which the two wcr
to meet in this city Saturday evening , am
got married. According to 'the story told
Fiddler was at the trystlng place , the unloi
depot , on time , but Kntlo tlld not show un
and ho finally loft. They met Sunday , however
over , nnd Katie explained nwny her dclln
qucncy. nnd agreed to meet her betrothed n
the depot yesterday afternoon nt 3 o'clocli
nnd they would hto themselves awuy to

At the appointed hour the fair to-be brid

two hours waiting she repaired to the Dope
hotel , nnd told her story to sympathetic cars
She said that she hnd given Fiddler he
watch and two rings , and that ho had no
since been to see her , nnd failed to show ute
to marry her. The fomlnlno population wor
engaged In the picasan task ot denouiicln
Fiddler , nnd termed his action "a very mcai

THIS JUDICIAL AMINJ : > M.ST. ]
Judging from the official returns alreati.v
received by thu secretary of state it appeal ?
that both the hish llconsoumemlmentaml the
ono providing for nn increase In the numbm
of supreme Judges are lout. Tha threatened
fuilura of tha latter amondmtmt to puss
causes considerable astonishment. It was
never dreamed that there were anj
persona opposed to nn increase. In
the number of supreme Judges
and It Is not known tuutany persons worked
ngalnst It or that any tickets wora vr'"tod '
opposing such n nocoisnry Increase.
The only reasons that ura ascribed for the
present nc-gativa roturm received are that
tha various clurks of election have mlsuudcr-
atooJ the Intentions ot the voters , or the vet
ers hnvo misunderstood their ballots or
probably both reasons.
