Dit. G. W. JOHNSTON of Fairmont hits
rcHuiuud his position : m superintendent
ol the asylum for the incurable insane
at lliibtings , to which ho wus appointed
by Governor Uoyd more than a year
ago. Dr. Johnston is a capable physi
cian , whoso professional and personal
record warrants the expectation that ho
will prove to bo in all respects a cotcpc-
tent and worthy olllcial.
TIIK republicans of Ohio appear to
have given up the purpose they an
nounced some time njjo of contesting
the BO it of United States Senator Bricc ,
on the ground that ho was u resident of
Now York when elected. The "rain
bow chaser" suoms lo bo very busy in
democratic politics as ono of the com
bine of Hill , Gorman and Hrico , and un
doubtedly he linds tlio company of those
Bcliotmnrr politieaiiH entirely congenial.
NEIIKABICA ought to gain largely in
population this year , and the suggestion
of an immigration bureau lo stimulate
development in this direction is worthy
of consideration. The advertising train
sent out last , year acquainted thousands
of people with the superior agricultural
resources of this state , and some supple
mental organized worlc , prosecuted sys
tematically and persistently , to attract
persons who are contemplating settle
ment in the west could not fall to bo
bcnolieml. Effort of this kind rightly
directed is never unprofitable.
THF. late sanitary commissioner starts
his juoilcc correspondence to the inde
pendent paper with two Associated
I'ross franchises with the following
itartling niece of intelligence :
When Tobo Castor appeared on the scone
this morning ho gazed out upon tlio enthu
siastic tlirong and said : "If wo had nn oloc-
iton here today , Lancaster county's ' boasioil
republican majority would bo where Thuyer
la out of sight. "
It Bcoms to us that would depend
whether the B. & M. wanted Lancaster
to go democratic. If it did not , Tobo
would Bine very low and lot the county
go by default In spite of the explosive
enthusiasm for the democracy.
TtlK Fifth ward kickers , tindorwhat-
ever name they may bo sailing , appear
to have only ono object in viowand that
is to berate Mayor Uoinis and throw
miid at other city olllclals who hai > ponte
to have incurred their displeasure.
The leaders in this so-called tax
payers' organization are disgruntled bo-
caiiBO Mayor Bonus has not seen lit to
place thoin on the city pay roll. In
stead of ! protest of taxpayers it
is the protest of taxoaters. Thin doesn't ,
of course , apply to the bilker's dozen ol
honest and unsophiollcatod citizens ol
the fifth ward who have been roped in
by Joe Hedinan & Co. under false pro-
tenses.
THKHH is such a thing1 as slopping
over about men of fame and men in high
places. The impression upon sobet
thinking people is about the saino as the
wall of hired mourners , the beating o
breasts and the tearing of hair at a Mo
hiunincdan funeral. The lickspittles
mercenaries and eleventh-hour converts
always , make the noisiest devotional ex
hibitions at the Hhrlno of their patron
saints. The outburst of hysterical joy
ever tlio restoration of Governor Hoyd
to his olllcinl position by the paper which
less than a your ago scornfully pro-
nonncod him a fallen idol and a polit
ical dead duck is a titriking example of
( lIsgusting'iiislrH'orlty and sniveling hy-
Doorisy.
AMIKADY claims against Chill have
boon iitido out by sailors of the cruiser
Baltimore aggregating over $1,000.000 ,
and a number nuiro will bo presented.
Very likely double tlio above sum will
be demanded , and the question of Chili's
responbiblllty and the amount of damage
oho shall pay will then bo setUod be
tween the two governments or submitted
to arbitration. On the face of it the
claims put in by the Baltimore sailors
would eeoin to bo excessive , hut they
probably reason that In anovorit their
demands would not bo allowed without
some controversy , and so they give an
umplu margin for cutting down and
still iibsuro jus > t damages , Chill will
hardly bo required to pay any such daui-
{ ! us us the presented claims involve.

A Kearney contemporary complains
th.it the attitude of THK UKiMowardC'om- <
nlssloner General Grcor of the World's j
fair smacks extremely of unfairness
coming from a professed republican
lowspnpor and rolkctlng nnon a trust
worthy republican olllulal.
"Professed republican" cmncks of
sarcasm as well ns unfairness. Kepub-
icanism , us wo understand tlio term ,
lees not Imply an tiiuiualillcd emlorso-
nont of the conduct of ovary * 'opnblican
n or out of olllen , whether riirfrt or
wrong. There bus been no disposition
in the part of Tin : BKK to misrepresent
Mr , Greor or to criticise his conduct tin-
'airly. There is no truth whatever in
the statement that THU BKK has a de-
slro to BOO him deposed because Gov
ernor Hoyd has a personal or political
'nvorito ' for th6 position who is an
Omaha man. TIIK BKK has no knowl
edge of Governor Boyd's intentions
Lho promises. Nobody connected with
TIIK BKK excepting its Lincoln cor
respondent has had any Intercourse
with Governor Hoyd slncp the supreme
court promulgated its decision.
There is no truth whatever in the
assertion that THK BKK lights for the
Omaha man every lime and regardless of
politics. Tin : BKK has had no ehanco to
light for Otriaha men for sVUo ofllcos ,
oven if it had been disposed to do so.
With the exception of Juilgo Lake
Omaha has not been favored with a sin
gle state olllcor from the time Nebraska
came into the union twenty-live years
ago until ly.M ) , and in that campaign
THK BKK did not support the Omaha
man , charges to the contrary notwith
standing.
The fact about Commissioner Greor is
simply this : The board as at present
constituted has been anything but har
monious , and the most outspoken oppo
sition to Mr. Grcor comes from repub
licans inside of the board. TIIK BKK
lias only voiced the prevailing senti
ment inside and outside of the board
that Nebraska is making poor headway
In the preliminary work for the exhibi
tion of Inn1 products so long as the board
remains disorganized and demoralized.

The advocates of putting binding twine
on the frco list may not bo aware of the
fact that with the existing duty British
manufacturers are successfully compet
ing in our own markets with the homo
manufacturers , but such is the ease. The
A'orthcrn H'iiVa / newspaper published
in Belfast , Ireland , contained in its issue
of February 1 a notice of the Belfast
Kopowork company , which is referred
to as ono of the most interesting and
important industries in the north of
Ireland. The H'states / { / that in con
sequence of the great demands now
made upon the company for orders to
the United States further extensions are
in contemplation , "and the directors
have at the moment before thorn esti
mates for the erection of a- mill for the
special purpose of supplying binding
twine suitable to the United States re
quirements , the recent reduction of im
port duty upon same into the United
Slates having now enabled British man
ufacturers to compote successfully with
the United States makers. "
The protection given American manu
facturers of binding twine made in whole
or in part from Tainpico fiber , manila ,
sis'il grass or suiiu is seven-tenths of 1
cent per pound ; cables and cordage ,
made of hemp , 2 } cents per pound.
Manifestly these duties' are only sulll-
cicnt to enable our manufacturers to do
business at a reasonable profit , the dif
ference in wages paid fully offsetting tlio
transportation charge on the foreign
product. The tariff does not prevent
successful foreign competition , and so
long as this is maintained the homemakers
makers cannot obtain more than a fair
profit. But remove this moderate pro
tection and the inevitable result must
bo the collapse of the American enter
prises in tlio manufacture of binding
twine. At present the outlook for those
industries is promising , and if they are
not discouraged by hostile legislation
there is reasonable probability that
within a few years this country will pro
duce a largo part of the twine required
for homo consumption , giving employ
ment to a considerable amount of cap
ital and labor. Is it not clearly good
policy to encourage this industry when
it is scon that this can be done without
oppressing the , consumers of binding
twine , while making a market for hemp
which would "otherwise go to waste ?
This is obviously one of those cases in
which n reasonable degree of protection
is entirely defensible.
. .so.uwiutTti ; or incii'iionirr.
The efforts of the opponents of recip
rocity to depreciate the results of that
policy do not show to advantage when
confronted by the facts. No reasonable
man expected that the arrangements
effected with the southern countries
would immediately produce a revolution
in our commercial relations with them.
It takes time to bring about radical
changes in the currents of trade which
have been long established , and while
the commercial nolicy instituted by the
United States is the most aggressive of
modern times it could not accomplish
all that Is hoped from it in n few
months.
The progress that ban boon made in
enlarging our trade will not only bo
regarded by all fair-minded men as
highly gratifying , but it carries with it
the assurance of a much greater exten
sion curtain to bo attained , Take , for
example , our exports to Cuba for the
month * of Soptembar , October mid November - '
ember 1SUO and 1891. They show for
the latter period an Inoroaso of nearly
ono and one-half million dollars , and
during that time ono of the most import
ant schedules , which includes Hour , had
not gone into effect.- January 1 the duty
on Hour was reduced from W.ltl to 00
cents a barrel , and tlio result was that
this country sent twenty-three ttmos as
much Hour to Cuba in that month as
was exported during the corresponding
month of last year , while the flour trade
of Spain with that island , which had
been extensive , was entirely cut oil. It
is pretty safe to say that so long as this
arrangement continues in effect -and it
will never bo abandoned with the con
sent of the people of ( .1ubi : the United
States will supply tlio Cuban market
with Hour , a no Inconsiderable
i
In itsolf. After July I next the perma
nent schedules po Into effect , when a
further enlargement of our trade In the
Antilles is assured.
The increase of trade with Brazil is ,
perhaps somewhat less satisfactory than ,
was hoped for , but there are valid rca- !
sons for this. The politic.il disturbances
in that country have operated unfavor
ably upon its commercial interests for
ono thing , and American manufacturers
and merchants have lr.ul to contend
against the very strong Kuropoan Influ
ence in 'Jr.izil , which permeates every
department of tlio flnanciul and business
alTairn of that country. Moreover , the
dependence of our manufacturers and
merchants upon foreign lines of trans
portation is a very decided disadvan
tage. But wd have boon doing more
business with Brazil under reciprocity
than before , and there is every reason
to expect that the present year will see
the balance of trade against us materi
ally reduced. The arrangement with
the British West Indies promises grati
fying results , though it has too recently
gone into effect to furnish an indication
of how important those may ba.
The IrulU of reciprocity thus far have
been of siillleioiit importance to vindi
cate the wisdom of that policy and to
determine the necessity of maintaining
it. In order to assure this being done
the success of the republican parly this
year is essential. The democratic party
is hostile lo reciprocity. Some of its
most prominent leaders have denounced
it and the common practice of its organs
is to disparage it. It is distinctly ti re
publican policy , and Its malnlcnanco is
contingent upon tlio republican parly
retaining control of the national admin-
ihlrallon.

Under ordinary conditions it is always
the unexpected that happens. It is , how
ever , not true as regards the efforts of
tlio malcontents lo discredit Mayor
Bemis in the worlc of municipal reform.
Everybody who knows anything about
politics and Iho ways of men who make
a living out of politics expected that any
attempt to introduce business methods
into the management of o ir city affairs
would bo resisted to the bitter end by
tlie liordo of do-nothings and barnacles.
It was to have betw expected that these
coyotes would howl and yelp at the heels
of the mayor and make the lives of eoun-
ciltnen who would endeavor to live up to
their pledges miserable. This is pre
cisely what lias happened.
The Ilrst onset commenced t.wo weeks
ago in the light over the street commis
sioner , and the howl of the malcontents
will continue until every place on the
cily pay roll has been filled. The dis
gruntled otllce seekers know well how to
mask their real grievances , which con
cern nobody except themselves. So they
have started tlio cry that Mayor Bemis
is a more catspaw of the water works
company. "Did lie not nppoinp Dumont
street commissioner and didn't ho ap
prove the appropriation ordinance wh'ich
Included $ : ! 7,000 rental for fire hy
drants ? Hasn't he also approved the
now levy which mayif the assessment is
raisedplace $10,000 more in the fire and
water fund than was collected in IS ! ) ! ? "
People who are not familiar with the
facts very naturally join in with Holly
Joe and shout : "Water Works Bemis ! ' '
What are the facts ? Mayor Bemis lirst
started out to dispense with the street
commissioner entirely and have his
duties performed by the Board of Public
Works. But thostreotcommissionor is a
charter ofllcer and the change is impracti
cable until wo got an amended charter.
In order to get rid of Flannery , the old
street commissioner , who had squan
dered the city's money without render
ing any service , Mayor Bemis decided to
appoint somebody who would resign
immediately aft..r ho was confirmed and
thus relieve the city of all expense until
a man upon whom the mayor and council
could agree was appointed and con
firmed. Mr. Bemis and Mr. Dumont
liavo been intimate friends for many
years. They have occupied a joint
olllvo in the Continental block for years.
Mr. Bemis naturally turned to Mr.
Dumont to aid him in getting rid of
Flannery. Dumont was appointed with
the understanding that ho would resign
at once , and lie did just as he agreed.
The inoro fact that Dumont had tem
porarily accepted the position of trustee
for ono of the lighting factions of the
water works company had no bearing
whatever upon this arrangement. The
water works company certainly derived
no advantage or profit from Dumont's
incumbency as street commissioner for n
week.
The contract with the water works
company provides that the city shall
pay its hydrant rental every six months.
It had always been paid on tlio 1st of
July and 1st of January and the money
was pledged by the company to moot the
interest falling duo on its bonds at those
dates. The last council and ox-Comptrol-
lor Goodrich audited the claim of the
company for the six months ending Jan-
iiiiry 1 , 181)2 ) , and the amount , $ : ! 7.000 ,
was included in the regular appropria
tion ordinance for December. This
ordinance was handed over to Mayor
dishing and by rights should have boon
signed or vetoed by him. But Mr.
dishing loft It on his desk as a legacy to
Mayor Bemis , who was called on to
either approve or disapprove the or
dinance with its thousand items on tlio
day ho came into olllce. Ho votoad all
the items found to bo irregular or illegnl
and approved all the others , including
the $ , ' 17,000 for the water eompiuiy. This
claim was roguinr and legitimate. The
city was under contract 'o pay this sum
and had already caused a default on the
water company's bonds by its failure to
issue the warrant.
Before approving this claim the mayor
exacted a concession from the w.itur
company which will save the city at
loust5,000 a j oar for ton yearn if the
city makes proper use of It in the relocation
cation of hydrants.
As to the excess of $10,000 in the levy
for hydrant rent , the question is simply
whether the witor and lire hydrant HJI--
vice Is to bo extended during the coming
year. If it is not extended there will be
no iucroabu in the hydrant rent.il. 4
It is a disgrace to Omaha that a.not
of roustabout- : , boodle H and malcontents
should besmirch a mayor who is trying
to curry out the reform * in city af
fairs which the tnxpaying citizens have
demanded at his hands.

that the number is rapidly increasing.

MM/ ; ; II'/.SIV-H. % r//ir.s.
Choyeinio Loader ( dem. ) : The withdrawal
of Bialno leaves Iho coast , clear for Harrison
who , should ho live , will without douot bo
the republican nominee.
Tacoma ( ! lobo ( rep. ) : Tlio people wanted
Mr. Blulno for their nrotldont. They want
tim still. Notwithstanding his positive re
fusal to take the ottlce the people want him
to tnko It , and It is his duty to comply with
the will of his countrymen.
PorLlanil Oragonlan ( rep. ) : To bo frank ,
full and explicit , Mr. lilaino should have
wHttcn. "The state of my health would not
permit'mo to accept the presidency were I
nominated nnd elected. " That would bo ac
cepted ns llnal , and slop all t/ilk about his
candidacy. But that is the last thing Mr.

tlio subject of the excited conversation of
his follow men.
( iroat trills ( Mont. ) Loader Crop. ) : When
all this has boon sfiid in pralso of Mr. Dlaine
it cun be asserted with o < iual canlidcnco that
republican success In the presidential con
test at hand Joes not depend upon the lead
ership or any single man. Mr. Harrison Is
stronger before the American people today
than upon the eve of the last election. The
principles of the republican party , standing
as they do lor nrotoctlon to American Indus
try and comfort , in the American homo , will
win with any candidate wlioso devotion to
them is cleat and unquestioned.
Chcyenno Sun ( rep. ) : Without doubt
Harrison has gained strength with the people
ple in consequence of his determined attitude
toward Chili , and there is a feeling through
out the country that the government is In
capable hands. Should the prospertv ! which
now dawns upon this nation continue there
will bo a strong , wldo prevailing desire to
lot well pnough nlono. This feeling is a great
political factor and should not. bo ignored In
makinir calculations upon the future. The
delegates to Minneapolis will consider more
especially the availability of their candidate.
This will be in Harrison's favor.

Bi.uu , Neb. , Fob. 13. To the Editor of
Tin : Bnft : 1 clip the following editorial para
graph from the Blair Pilot of recent date :
Jim Boyd showed the cloven hoof to per
fection In some minor details connected with
his succeeding Ueneral Thayer as governor of
Nebraska. When ho was notified of Thaycr's
letter offering to turn over the oflico , if re
ported correctly , ho said : "I'll co ' down to
Lincoln and resume the ofllcc , 'not on this
notification of General Tlmyor , but , in com
pliance with the supreme court decision. "
Boyd was uravo as a snoop after Thayur sur
rendered. Ho would no doubt have had a good
time "resumingtho onlcc" foraeveral months
to come but for Thaycr's agreement to per
mit blm to do so. Again on arrival at Lin
coln , ho marched into the governor's oflico
witb a retinue of retainers at his heels , and
with ibo discourtesy of a born despot re
fused to rccoirnizo or shako hands with General -
oral John M. Thayor. This was potting down
pretty low for a man In his position and , by
comparison , will make a fur blacker spot on
the record of Jim Boyd than upon that of
Governor Thayer.
The foundation of republicanism is the
recognition of the supremacy of the will of
the people.
The foundation of law and order is the rec
ognition of the authority of the courts to con
strue the law as it exists.
Whoever in the face of the facts refuses to
recognl/.o such supremacy Is guilty of trea
son nnd anarchy.
No one doubts that the will of the majority
of vho people of Nebraska made James E.
Boy.l its governor. Many honest republicans
east and west stigmatize tlio deed which do-
tirived him of the oflico as a ruse to maintain
power ut any cost , and a high-handed viola
tion of Justice and right.
\Vhon a man Is rnbbcd ho naturally feels
indignant and resentful , and that Governor
Boyd should entertain such feelings toward
the man who , while not the prime mover ,
was coriainty the chief uctor in the deed
which robbed him of his rightful place , and
the majority of the people of their power , Is
certainly natural. The absence of hypocrisy
is always commendable.
To assume that General Thayer showed
0117 opeclal courtesy In vacating n place
which the highest authority in the land had
in effect declared to bo usurped In violation
of right and Justice is ridiculous , If no worse.
If there shall never bo n "blacker spot"
upon the record of Governor Boyd than that
he took possession of ! iis own and refused to
act a hypocrite's part the people of Nebraska
will have nothing of which to complain.

were discovered In a crowded tenement house
at Kighty-llr.it ami Line street * , close beside
the Western Indiana railroad tracks and
only n stono'a throw from the thickly settled
district nround the Webber & Abbott cur-
rlngo factories In 'Auburn 1'urk.
At this point U a tnnc.u-oul factory , which
has bcon Uiosjeuu ot social contention for .1
number of years. Efforts looking lo Its re
moval liavo-beon fruitless , and the factory
remains a hiding place for hundreds of Ital
ians who yo.irly arrive nnd stay there until
they Htm employment elsewhere. Around the
place nro a number of eottagas which have
been erected since public opinion forced tins
proprietors to cease using the factory as n
Iodizing house at night.
It was In one of ilio.io cottapos , crowded
Into n single room , that the olllcers yesterday
found Domliiico Gallnorl , his wife and live
children , all Infected with the disease. They
appeared to bo seriously ill and ' .he oflleors

supposed to have located on Milwaukee ave

When tin ) hoaltn dcp.irtment lint received
the alarming Information that the Italians
had come to Chicago from New YnrSc the
services of OflleorsVinnohold and McGuire
were secured aim a search was instituted.
Yoitcrday the policemen learned that nine
Italians , answering the description of those
sought , had arrived at tlio Polk street dopiH
and seemed to be in chnive of n.i English-

hoard to give two of the forniunors instruc

to'.llun to a Caieago & Eistorn Illinois sub
urban train. It was on this claw the odlcors
were able to tr.ico thorn lo Auburn Park and

that as none are now in npparonl bad health ,
the department will bo able to prevent any

Of course I cannot tell bow they would per

several of the soldiers understand their sign

You cannot imagine how proud those In

THE TENTH WARD.
An Opinion on it Omistlim Tlmt U Omitting
Lots of TulU.
OMAHA , fob. 15. To the Editor of Tun
Dun : Please allow mo a little of your valua
ble spnco to reply to a letter published In the
World-Herald of the 4th instant , which ro
lutes to the division of the Sixth ward and
was signed by "Tenth Ward. "
Now , sir , there would bo no necessity for
un answer to "Tenth Ward's" loiter had no
not grossly misstated facts. In the lirst
place , he says the vio'vs contained in nn edi
torial of the World-Hurald of the : ilst ult. ,
favoring a division on a north and soutli line ,
were in accord with the sentiments ol the
residents. If ho refers to the residents of tbo
Sixth ward , I want to say right hero thut ho
was never moro mUtakcn in his life , but if ho
refers to the residents of Hitchcock's addi
tion and "Turknytown , " why I presume no
is riL'ht.
I have traveled over the ward A great uenl
within the last week , and I must my thut
outside of Clifton Hill und Hitchcock's addi
tion the sentiment is very decidedly In favor
of an east ad west division , and If. any ono
discredits this .statement Jot him got out into
the ward nnd convince himself ,
Now , this correspondent further goes out
of his way to .state that only politicians-
opposed lo his views ana infers that the
movement to divide east und west Is a politi
cal schomo. 1 cannot sco how it ts or can
be , nor whv It should bo , because l do not
cure how you divide the ward , you cannot
make a clemocralie ward out of cither one ,
and if ho don't ' already know It I want to say
for hlu bunolll that when the division is
made , either cast , west , north or south , the
territory embraced In the two wards will
still continue to roll up a monument of votes
for iho representatives of the G , O. P. at
each successive election.
Personally I am not Interested cither way ,
nnd conseij'uontly do not care a nip which
way Itgoos , but I will say thut 1 attended u
mooting ot cltizciiK at Twenty-sixth nnd
Lake streets ono week ago when this matter
was fully discussed , and the only argument
of any account offered by thu
advocates of the north and south division ( a'l '
the advantages being In favor of an east and
west ) wai that It would cut Clifton Hill
loose from ICountzo place nnd give them un
opportunity to get some of the many Im-
provemonts'thoy need. Now what do they
iieoJ , anyway I Seems to mo they have ev
erything already except paving and scwer-
ngo , nnd 1 suppose they nro now Ilirur'ng on
some scheme whereby they can get hold of
the money volotl for sewerage , etc. These
pcoplo want the earth. Why , bless you ,
down at South Omaha they slaughter Just
such animals. 1 ( I had my way In the matter -
tor 1 would place the boundary lines of the
Sixth ward around thorn , anil then give thorn
the privilege of Incorporating us u village.
As for the World-Herald's articles , no
body pays iinv attention to them for obvious
reasons. You sue that Is Hileheoc. , the
newspaper man , talking for Hitchcock , Iho
cupltulisl. In otljo words , the W.-tl. Is
owned by the nwuor of Hitchcock's addition ;
seufThe
The only way to divide the ward 11 on the
same line tor ono or two blocks lurther
Houtu ) un recommended by the coin mil ton
appointed to look Into the matter , and 1 am
heartily in favor of their report , which calls
for an east and west division on Springer
street , because I consider that train u busi
ness and geographical standpoint this divi
sion will bo to the best Interests of the rest-
dents und thu city ut larie. ; If we are going
to divide let us do it rmht and with a view
of obviating the necessity of another divlson

tacks your opinion on hucksters' license as
not in accordance with the doctrine of home
industry. Allow me , dear editor , to inform
Mr. H. that ho does not properly understand
the meaning of homo industry , which has
nothing to do in connection witli this question
tion at all. If the retail grocery trade helps
homo industry , certainly thu peddler does so
much the morn by his energy and push , and
as for taxes , why. Mr. H. is making a great
blunder. If the peddler on his $10 or $15 stock
pays 10 , how much then ought the grocory-
inan to pay on his $ . i,00l ) Block , and yet I
doubt if Mr. ti. ever paid moro. Mr. H.
quotes Denver ns proof that peddlers should
Deforced out of this city. Lot mo quote
Now York where a peddler's license Is only
$5 per annum , net $1(1. ( In vain does Mr , H ,
try to tr.ako fools out of Omaha housekeepers
as not knowing what they arc buying.
Yes , Mr. II. , in such matters public sonll-
m-'nt is the bust evidence , nnd as thu public
is pleased to patronize such peddlers there if
proof enough tlmt our housekeepers are no I
so foolish as you seem to find them. They
