That blow between the oycs which ho received last November seems to have lot some intelligence into his skull. IF CHOLKliA. has reached Hamburg it has come too near this country for com fort and the question of garbage and cleaning the city will soon assume supreme premo importance. Omaha has no use /or cholera. ONE of the most Intangible mysteries of life la the sight of an Irish-American , whoso natlvo land bus boon ruined by the frco trade policy of England , castIng - Ing a vote to transfer the same condi tions to this country. Sioux CITY has given up her pro jected agricultural exhibit and says that next year she will htivo a great corn palace. It'a always safe to talk of the future und n year produces the dis appearance of many memories. IK OMAHA can bo good and moral in the dog days , with only sixty-llvo pris oners { n the county jail while the aver age has been for live years 110 , it is evi dent that this Is the proper location for Schwoinfurth's or anybody olso'a "Heaven. " THK county democracy mooting In New York , in which Tammany Hall was execrated and Hill's name hissed , indicates that Whitney has lost his grip on the virtuous democracy of the me tropolis. Lot 'cm keep up their hitsing of Hill. It sounds sweet to republican cars. CAUL Souunz has issuei an address calling upon all Germans to vote for Cleveland. What nonsense ! Why should the Gornvuis endorse the wild cat money and free trade candidate in preference to the man whd stands for an honest dollar and protection to Ameri can industry ? , THE mayor and the city council con tinue to got along in cho most har monious mannor. The mayor uses his vote on nearly everything and the coun cil cheerfully piisses the bills ever his voto. It is evident that our mayoralty has thus become a purely oxooutlvo onieo and has nothing to do with legis lation. COUNCILMAN EmvAiiusvho has soon Galesburg brick paving , is very much Impressed with it A city which has tried the brick paving , with good brick , can hardly bo porsuudod to try any other sort , The Guloshurg brick is of a very superior order , but wo see no reason why Nebraska brick may not bo nuido us strong and lusting. PLANS for the proposed city hall in South Oniuhu huvo boon completed. The Mnglo City needs n city hull , but us the citizens uro u little In doubt its to whether they can afford the luxury or not , It Is proposed that It bo built by private capital us an investment , und a man has boon found who is willing to undertake the enterprise and rent the building to the city. As matters now Btnnd the various departments of the city government are more or JOBS scat tered. Public convenience und the eu/oty of ofllclnl records require that a building especially suited to the pur pose bo erected , oven though It bo n very in oil oat one. At the present rate of growth u city hall of some kind will soon bo an absolute necessity in South Omr.Ua. A n .i7 pvnciiAstAO A frantic effort la now bo Ing put forth by the managers of the democratic tin tlonnl campaign to raise a sufficient amount of money to curry the northwest for Cleveland. The states upon which the hopes nnd expectations of the Cleveland - land managers are fixed are Illinois , lovvn , Kansas , Nebraska , Minnesota ant ! Wisconsin. It Is hardly necessary to enter into n consideration of the grounds upon which the democratic hope of securing the electoral vote of the o states is bused. It is enough to say that the domocratlo campaign managers believe that the in roads of the people's party upon the re publican vote will bo eo great that with a free expenditure of money upon the doubtful or purchasable voters the stales named can bo carried for the democratic candidate. The Now York World is raising a special fund to bo applied to this pur pose. It makes dully appeals to its readers to como forward with contribu tions of money to bo used In behalf of Cleveland In the northwest. "Think what would bo accomplished , " says that shameless newspaper , "if each of the 350,000 parsons who buy the H'orM would subscribe a single dollar. Why not all join hands und make this u ban ner week ? A dollar now is equal to ton times us much u month hence. Will you permit the World to add your name to the democratic roll of honor tomor row morning ? " In the whole political history of this country there never has boon a parallel to this. It , amounts simply to un open und unblushing proclamation of the pur pose of the democracy to put enough money in circulation in the six states named to carry them at nil hazards. The corruption fund upon which so much reliance Is placed will bo in the bunds of Don M. Dicidnson , who bus boon as signed to take charge of the branch headquarters of the democratic national committee at "Chicago. No one who knows this lieutenant of Grover Clovo- lund will doubt that the money pluccd nt his disposal will bo used to corrupt voters. If the electoral votes of the northwest can bo bought they will not lack a buyer. It is often said that every man has his price , but we have too much faith in the integrity and independent manliness of the average American citizen to believe that. The northwest muy bo fair fight ing ground , but its voters are not hold ing out open palms to the dispensers of democratic corruption funds. They will llhton to argument , and jf they uro con vinced that the democratic policy is suited to their needs they will favor it. But there is nothing In the history of politics in the states upon which the democratic campaign managers now propose to concentrate their efforts that can give thorn any hope of being able to make profitable use of the largo cor ruption fund which they are now en deavoring to raise for distribution in this section of the country. The desperate efforts which the demo crats are making to secure the electoral votes of Illinois , Iowa , Kansas , Ne braska , Minnesota u d Wisconsin show how Httlo hope they have of winning in the doubtful states of the east. There is a very reason to believe that they huvo given up Now York. In that state they have always used money unsparingly , but they seem to think that it would bo u sheer waste to do so this year. Money can never pitch up the quarrel between the factions thero. And yet there is a much better prospect of results from the expenditure of u corruption fund in Now York than in Nebraska or any oilier of the stales for whoso purchase the demo crats of the country are now asked to contribute. Grover Cleveland cannot bo elevated to the presidency by the use of money in the northwest. liRMlS AND Till } COUfiCIL , Mayor Bemis and the council have been at loggerheads almost from the day on which the new city government wont Into power last January. The dif ferences between mayor und council arose r.t first In the distribution of olli- ces. The mayor endeavored to exorcise his own judgment In the selection of subordinates , while the council insisted upon its claim to control the patron age for political supporters and per sonal friends. This conflict ever spoils of olllco has berne its natural fruit , just as it always has and always will so long us there are bones to pick by hungry olllco seekers and so long as there is di vided responsibility between the execu tive and legislative branches in the matter - tor of appointments. Mayor Bemis Is a man with a mind and will of his own. Ho sometimes yields to argument or advice by friends , t > ut refuses to bo driven by anybody. In this respect ho is more of u hurd-hcaded Scotchman who cannot bo moved when once ho has mudo up his mind rather Limn a pllabla Yankee who gives way to pressure for the sake of expediency. Mayor Bemis is rigidly honest und nouns to bo right. Like other men ho is prone to err sometimes , but his errors are usually in the interest of economy ind good government. Und the conlllct between Mayor Bomls and the council been con- inod to the spoils of olllco tharo would uivo boon no serious injury to the pub ic interests ut the very woiMt. But the council books to retaliate on the mayor jy opposing everything ho recommends uid approving every measure that ho believes to bo to the detriment of the city. It has now got to bo u common iructlco to snub the mayor by passing ever \\'m \ houd every item or ordinance that hu vetoes. Now tljo mayor may bo wrong sometimes , but ho cannot bo wrong always. The mayor's vote Is the jrako which the charter has placed upon obb'jry , oxtriivugunco and luwlossnoss. When the brake no longer ouurnlos the obbers and boodlers got In their work , ind the taxpayers uro robbed indis criminately by their own servants just o snub the mayor. If this practice is continued the pres ent council will not only lose popular conlldonco but will bo roth od with the same odium that nttuclns to its prcdo censors. The taxpuyora uro baginning ; o fool that the reform council needs re- . 'arming very badly. The sooner It real ises that the people are on to the trick of pasbing Jobs and unlawful appropria tions over the vote unuur pro'.onso of giving another black eye to Bora's , the sooner Its roputnblo members will become como convinced that their- duty is to weigh carefully the objections raised by the mnyo.In his vetoes und act upon their honest convictions in the interest of good government. AXOTUHlt HIAll AT OMAHA. Ttiuro is almost In every state n con- Blunt effort hv small-bore ucoplo to tlis- pnrugo nnd bcltltlo tlio state metropolis. In the 'GO'sund ' 70 stho sroullor towns ol Ohio were battering uwtiy nt Clncinnntl nnd up to within tlio lust ton yoirs the papers und j o'ltlcltvns in the smaller towns of Illinois 'woro constantly trying to disparage nnd ilocry Chicago. lA > r years Omaha hus boon the target of rural smnll-boro politlulnns nnd featherweight editors. The nttompt to felt prohibition upon Nebraska two years ago was largely duo to the desire to cripple Omaha nnd the defeat of Rtchurda for governor , instead of being charged to the nlliunco uprising which curried nway ever 40,000 republican voters , wns elwrgod up against Omaha. Last your , when Douglas county gave Judge Post n plurality of ( lr , > " 8 , whllo his pluralities in the balunco of tlio stuto only aggregated 0.412 , fo\v party loudora outside of this city exhibited any dispo sition to credit Omaha with saving the day for the republican cause. Within ninety days after the election of Judge Post , Thoinus Majors and hia organs and henchmen opened the most vindlctiro , bitter and malignant cru ado against Omaha to which this city hus ever boon subjected. Every moun thing that hud ever boon before said about Omaha was raked up , and the alush-gutos of truduction were thrown opon. The Majors canvass , from beginning to end , was ono of detraction and vile abuse of Omaha and everything that emanates from Omaha , r The Peru Gazette , the homo organ of Mujors , which ho controls absolutely , immediately nftor the con vention , hoisted tlio republican ticket in tlio following form , to emphasize Majors * ' hatred of Omaha : Unt'UUfjIOANjrATE TICKET.

Of Omaha. As u climax of stupid spite the Majors contingent on the state central commit tee hus taken thS republican headquar ters uwuy from Omaha and located them ut Lincoln. Now suppose any republi can of Illinois should propose to tuko the headquarters away from Chlcaco und locate them at Soringflold , or any Now York state republican should pro pose to move the state headquarters from * Now York to Albany , would not the proposition bo scoutoa nnd voted down with a thud ? Omaha is expected to furnish a largo portion of the campaign fund , 'Justus she did lust year und us she always hus done und will do. Omaha Is expected to furnish the majority necessary to insure republican success. Omaha is more uc- codslblo to inlorstulo speakers than Lin coln and Omaha excels Lincoln in every respect as a point for rallying party loaders by telegraph und communicat ing with the national committee. But' ' Mr. Majors and his adherents in the committee were bound to give Omaha a slap in the face , conlldont that Stuht , Ehronpfort and Thompson will carry out the contract to give the anti-Omaha candidate 10,000 majority in Douglas county. _ _ AS SJVK nr A An association of wage earners In Providence , R. I. , has adopted a sensi ble method of getting ut the exact truth in rogurd to the difference between the condition of the European workingman - man und ills brother in the United Stutos. A follow workman , Willard I. Lansing , has boon choaon to make a | ) oisonul invostigution und is now in England , visiting various manufactur ing towns und obtaining interesting fuels which ho presents to his friends at homo through the columns of a Provi dence newspaper. The results of Mr. Lansing's investi gations in Leeds are valuable and very suggestive. In that city there are at east 5,000 hands employed In the shoo industry. If these 6,000 men ware em ployed the year round their average weekly earnings would bo about $0.24 ' 'or skilled mechanics , but taking into consideration their enforced idleness a : > urt of the time the , average is lowered , o about $1,82. There are some special classes of workmen in the Leeds shops who eiirn ut busy times 8301 to $0.12 lor week. The cost of houbo rent is 'roin $1 to SI. 80 per week and gas about 52 cents. The worulngman pay 25 cents ) or pound for butter , 18 cents for beef or mutton , 48 cents for tea , 2 cents per lound for potatoes , turnips and onions , 30 cents for 14 pounds of flour , 8 cents per quart for milk , nnd other table sup- > lies uro about in the same proportion. It will not bo dillluult for the Ameri can worklngman to sqe that nt this ruto .ho . Englishman who manages to keep body and soul together is to bo con- grtitulutod upon hta ability us a finan cier. The American himself would bo liscourugod at- the outset und abandon .ho . uttompt to live upon such wagon. Jo wl m ply would not submit to such uird condition But fortunately ho islet lot required to do so. l Yoo trudo hus not yet uoon established in this country , ind in. til it does oomo the American worklngmii'i wiU'onjoy the comforts of If o and at loustufow of Its luxuries.

TUB Union Puclllc U\llroad : company is to bo commended for taking slop ? toward u friendly settlement of the question presented by the machinists , blacksmiths and bollormukors , who have uskcd to bo allowed to work a greater number of hours than hereto fore , their pay being based upon the number of hours of labor. For some time past these employes of the company huvo boon putting in only llftv hours a week. They huvo now asked for fifty- four hours , with pay in proportion. The committee which waited upon the. olll- cltils asked for the discharge of a sulll- clcnt number of men to muko the system proposed practicable , but it was finally agreed that the men should uwalt the natural reduction of the working force , which ulwuys occurs in the full when some of the bunds seek winter situations in the south. The number of black smiths , machinists and boilermakers will thus bo reduced about 200 , and us the men are paid by the hour the ag gregate of their weekly wages will bo considerably Increased. The attitude of the railroad company in this inattor seems lobo fuir. It would bo hnrd to throw a portion of the force out of em ployment in order that the remainder might bo benefited , but after the nat ural reduction referred to lias taken place the mutter will bo simplified. When the force hus boon thus reduced to the proper proportions the company will probably refrain from increasing it nnd reducing the hours ot work in the future. c.iaii.iiay v Another bowl for "harmony" has gene up from tbo gbost dancers since the moot \ng \ of the atato central corawilteo.
