The democrats ot Douglas county are hav
ing a very lively ante-campaign tattle this
week , and a great many ot them find It
difficult to describe Just "where they arc
at. " The primaries will be held Thursday
afternoon nnd evening and all eldcs are
working to capture the delegations ,
There seem to bo thrco factions In this
preliminary skirmish Iho administration
democrats , the free sllver-Ilryan democrats ,
and the hired men who have been bought
to do the bidding of the railway bosses
and prevent fusion or the possible endorse
ment of the populist gubernatorial candi
date. The administration cohorts are al
lied with the railroad crowd headed by Tobe
Castor and supported by the Burlington
political bureau. The latter Influences arc
being put forward to assist In the success
of Majors ,
The administration democracy Is headed
by Mr. Miller , enjoying a soft government
job , Charles Connoycr nnd John McMillan ,
who expect to fall Into the postofllce Jobs
hero and In South Omaha , and others who
want to curry favor with the powers that be.
In Washington. They are working to send
an anti-Bryan delegation to Iho convention.
Then there are a good many democrats who
nay nothing , but saw wood , nnd look
pleased when fusion Is advocated and ap
pear noncommittal when the administra
tion Is mentioned.
A reporter of The Bee Interviewed a num
ber ot the leaders yesterday.
HIS HESPECTS TO BRYAN.
S. R. Uush , chairman o the democratic
county central committee , In reply to the
Interrogatory , "Is It true that you , with
other democrats , are In constant consulta
tion with Tobias Castor as to the best
means of carrying Douglas county ? " stated :
" 1 scarcely know Mr. Castor. I have never
conversed with him flvo minutes In my life.
The statement that I took dinner with him
on Monday IB entirely untrue , and made
for the purpose of deceiving and misleading
voters an to the real question at Issue In
tl Is county.
"The fact Is wo are not waging a fight
against Mr. Bryan , Every candidate for
delegate to the county convention to select
delegates to the state convention will be
pledged to support him for United States
senator. No one In this campaign has a
word to say ugalnst Mr. Uryan personally ,
notwithstanding the editorial page of the
World-Herald , for which he says he Is re
sponsible , Is dally filled with screeds vilify
ing and deliberately and knowingly mis-
n presenting the best nnd truest democrats
In Douglas county the > men who have de
voted their time and nioruy to democratic
success , and who have never faltered when
the fight was on. These are the men , the
organized democracy of this county , who are
branded "liars , " "hypocrltles , " "cowards" and
the rest. Why are they so denounced ?
Simply because they are contending for the
national democratic platform on the silver
question as against the World-Herald's plat-
fcrm , "tho fre ? and unlimited coinage ot
silver at a ratio of 10 to 1. " That paper
less than a year ago laid the democrats of
Dtrglns county tliat 25 to 1 was the proper
ratio , and that the ratio that It now ad
vocates meant nothing less than damnation
to Iho business Interests ot the country.
' 'Myself with other democrats contended
and worked for that construction of the- Chicago
cage national democratic platform a year ago ,
and no amount of abuse by Mr. Uryaii'k
paper can deter us from what we believe to
be' right nnd democratic. We have never
disputed him the right to think and express
himself as he chose * on party Issues , and we
Insist that the thumb-screw should not b ?
applied to us. The old-time democrats who
have spent their lives In the servlco of their
party1 have a duty to perform Thursday after
noon. The combined business Interests ol
Douglas county have equally an Important
duty to perform , The organized democracy
of Douglas county Is In duty bound on thai
day to see to It that the national platform ol
their party's faith Is not spit upon and
stamped In the dust. It I mistake not , these
Interests will be- found standing shoulder to
shoulder at this primary election , battling
for their convictions and the highest ani
most Authoritative expression of democratic
principles.
Dan B. Ilonln , editor of the Democrat
I am a fuslonlat , and am for Holcomb all the
time. I think that any poor man who works
and votes for a straight Ucxet this fall In
jures his chances of eating three square
meals a day this winter. The bankers and
the B. & M. railroad are against the poor
man's Interest In this campaign , and 1C ttic-
democratic slate convention nominates a man
for governor other than Holcomb I will turn
my paper Into a populist sheet and Join that
party. I am for Bryan for senator , Boyd for
congress and Holqomb for governor. We
cannot endorse the populist county ticket , nor
fuse with them.
NOTHING BUT STRAIGHT GOODS.
Dr. GEorge L. Miller , collector of customs
I am In favor of n straight democratic
ticket. No other ticket la admlssable. I
have no choice for governor , but hope thai
the democrats will nominate some man of
character nnd ability , I will not approve an
endorsement ol Holcomb. Fusion always
means a sacrifice of principle , and I cannot
favor It. Men who are ambitions and are
seeking offices propose to disrupt the party
by advocating fusion and a general sacrifice
of our principles will nnd themselves with
out a following In the near future. I am
Ir * In favor of Bryan for th ? United States
senate , on the Chicago national platform ,
but not In the position he now assumes , I
want to see a straight legislative ticket , and
would prefer an overwhelming defeat to a
compromised victory with the populists. OH
and water will not mix In politics.
IV. F. Wapplch , scretary of the Jack-
sontan club I am In favor of a fusion on the
legislative ticket , and to help the populists
elrct a senator and two members of the
lower house , but the balance of the ticket
should bo straight. I think Clem Deavor
should withdraw from the congressional race
In favor of Boyd. In consideration of our ac
tive support of Holcomb , We are for Bryan
first , last and all the time , but unless Denver
withdraws I fall to see how we can endorse
and work for Holcomb. The democrats at
Douglas county are going to put up a ticket
that will commend Itself to the voters. We
are In fighting trim this fall , and If the popu
lists act fairly wo can win.
Louis Uoehmo , deputy United States mar
shal The administration democrats will lurn
down Bryan and the free silver democrats.
I am not In favor of fusion on any part of
th ; ticket , but It our state convention noml-
naten or endorses Holcomb I will give him
my support.
Councilman B. E. Howell I am sure that
Bryan delegates will carry Douglas county at
the ccmlng primaries. Thla will help Hoi-
comb , and I .am In favor of a fusion on the
head ot the stale ticket , as well as on the
county nominee. Wo will decisively settle
this at the primaries on Thursday.
CREDIT OP THE STATE.
Henry W , Yates , President Nebraska Na
tional Bank. B. & M. Jlallroad Depository
t have a favorable opinion of Mr. Holcomb ,
ojul regard him aa a fair minded man , but
cannot support him because I believe that a
populUt victory would be disastrous to the
financial Interests of the elate. We want
0 straight oiit democratic ticket tljh fall.
1 think the democratic party ti more than
the man , and It It Is not , I want to get out
of It. A' ! understand the subject , the
national platform should show the. princi
ple * of the c-iudtiUtes. Wo have no more
right ( o cancel thut part of the platform re
lating to our financial principles than we
l"wo jo alter ( he part relating lo the tariff.
For Uils reason I cannot sec low | any yat
6 n claim to Lo a democrat and wUli the
platform to conform with the peculiar prlnul-
jilcs of another party , the same aa Is now
being ftllctnp'P'l. '
Charles II. Ulch , Merchant I am a Brj-nn
man and b lleve In fusion and free tllvor.
I wll ! vote for Holcomb whether a demo
crat U nominated or not , and I know a lot
Bioro democrats who urc in the some
, lon ai I am , We can ami will carry Doug-
as county , nnd wo won't stand any gag
rules from the administration democrats.
Councilman A. B. McAndrcwg siys that he
ian canvassed portions ot the city and Is
confident that the Bryan delegates will carry
the county at the primaries. The country
; > reclncts are- regarded as being strictly In
line , and the free ellverltes do not believe
the Cleveland's mlnlona will cut nearly so
largo' a figure n they expect to this fall.
UOANI3 WANTS HOLCOMB.
Judge DOJIIO Is n fuslonlBt to Uio extent
that he would have the democratic slhte
convention refrain from nominating a can
didate for governor. He would , however ,
nominate some -candidates for state offices.
"I would do this , " said the judge , "In order
to preserve the party organization. I am In
hopes that the democratic stale convention
will endorse Judge Holcomb outright , but It
It does not do that I hops to tee It leave
the governorship blank. I desire to see the
Douglas county convention endorse Bryan
and his platform of principles. This , of
course , meank the free coinage of silver.
But I am doubtful of this lialng done- . "
W. B. McHugh Is not thinking much of
the governorship UIPPC days. " 1 am. " said
jpj , "In tavor of the democrats endorsing
Biyan a'nd the Chicago platform. There Is
no need ot Douglas county democrats split-
tine on the frpc silver rock when we can har-
; nonlze all elements on the Chicago plat
form , I have not thought much about the
mu'sllon of a straight state ticket or the en
dorsement of Jiidge Holcomb , "
George N. Hicks docs not bsllove much In
fusion. "I am not a strong Bryan man. "
eald Mr. Hicks , "but I have nothing against
him. I am fcr the Increased coinage of sil
ver , but not lo the extent that It will depre
ciate. We need n. larger volume of cunency.
I do not think It a good Idea to help a popu-
lUt Into n state office , If I were n member
of tin legislature , and the democrats held
the balance of power , I would vote for a re
publican In preference to a populist. But I
am not thinking about politic ? to any extent
tliuiB Oays. Nebraska has a graver question
than polities to consider this winter. "
Louis J. I'lattl Is In favor of the democrats
refraining from making a nomination for gov
ernor If It Is not possible to secure a demo
cratic endorsement ot Judge Ho comb. He
would , have Deavcr withdraw In favor of
Boyd and then have the democrats support
Deavcr for the ttato senate. In brief , he
favors the democrats and populists uniting to
an extent on the legislative ticket ,
W. S. P llcer , ex-member of the legislature
I really bellevs that It wilt help Hol
comb to have a straight ticket In the fle'd.
If the democratic state convention under
takes to filvs Ho'comb the votes of the demo
crats It will result In most of them going to
Majors ns against Holcomb. I favored fu
sion , but the populists refined to look upon
politics In that light , and that's nil there Is
to It. I believe that Bryan will capture the
Douglas delegation , and that free sliver will
win In the fight.
> ovfnthViird Ui'inocrntlc C'nuctm.
Something like thirty of the democrats ot
the Seventh ward met out at Twenty-ninth
street and Woolvtorth avenue last night ,
where they proceeded to swallow Grover
Cleveland , the democratic administration ,
Bryan nnd Boyd , all at one gulp. It was n
case of where the lion and the Iamb cuddled
down side by side , and as soon as the caucus
had nominated and elected Abe Waggoner for
president and J. D. LaCourse for secretary
the work ot making up a couple cf slates
was prosecuted. Without beating : around tlio
bush , the following named gentlemen were
selected as caucus delegates to the state
convention :
Abe Waggoner , Andy Murphy , J , B. Huse ,
I' , Smith , A. Jackson , W. A. Ackernun ,
John W. Dennis , James Schnelderwlnd , Mlko
Hogan , H. J. Fatmer and J. D. LaCourse.
There were a few more democrats who had
not been provided for , and In order to pre
serve harmony , the following gentlemen were
selected as proper parties to go to the county
convention :
T. A. Megeath , W. K. Jacobs , E. L. Mag
nus , M. Flels , H. B. Newcomb , Itamsoy
Crooks , W. P. Webber , John Koveakl , Mike
Murphy , W. L. Herald .an4 J , ' U. Murphy.
To show where they stood , and In older
that there might be no mistake , T. A. Mc-
gcalh moved that the delegates selected ute
all honorable means to secure the boosting
ot Biyan Into a senatorial teat , while Ram
sey Crooks followed with the same kind of
a motion looking to the election of Boyd
for congress. Both motions were carried
with a whoop , and the chairman said that
the work ot the caucus had ended.
C'nmi > llrat < 8 Mill tors.
The action of the county commissioners In
changing the boundaries ot the commission
ers' districts so that the First ward was
taken from the district from which a com
missioner must be chosen this year has com
plicated mattsrs considerably In the demo
cratic calculations. Tom Lowry's heart was
broken , as ho had the pins pretty well set
to capture the nomination. William Neve ,
UFO a First ward democrat , was a very en
thusiastic candidate , and had probably done
more to got his party's endorsenunt than
any other aspirant for the office. The county
joard's action left Major Dennis of the
Seventh wurd as the only pronounced candi
date on the democratic ticket for the nomina
tion , but the addition of th Fourth
ward to Stenberg's district has brought
Truman Buck , W. J. Mount and Captain
W. H , IJams out as available men for the
place and Mr. Stenberg may have a stronger
man than Lowry to beat at the polls in case
lie Is renomlnatcd by the republicans. George
Soblne of the Seventh is a. candidate for the
republican nomination In opposition to Sten-
barg and Is mustering quite a following.
South Omaha republicans ar $ very much
put out by the action or the " ( county board
In changing the boundaries of the districts.
They assert that the addition of the First
ward to the Olutrlct In which South Omaha
Is situated makes It almost hopeless for a
republican to attempt to make the race for
commissioner In that district.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

POLICE BOARD AND SEAVEY GET SCORED
Dcrlnrctt tn Have Tnkcn N < i Action tliut
\Yn * Not Tliurtuiclily ImllBcrect null
Inopportune I.Uo Ituport of tlio
Commit trn Other lltulneu.
The most notable feature of the regular
city council meeting last evening was the
adoption of a red hot report from the com
mittee on police on the request of Chief
Scavey and the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners for an appropriation for Iho
purpose ot detecting offenders against the
gambling ordinance. Tue report was
adopted without discussion , Wheeler alone
voting In the negative. The report was
as follows :
In the absence of nny explanation accom
panying the communication rcfenoil , we
assume thnt It Is Intended ns a request liy
said commission that the city council np-
iroprlnte u turther pum of money lor tno
iseof the commission In Its attempts to
eal with the gambling question.
Your committee believes that no .such ap-
iropilutltm should be made , for the follow-
ng reasons :
The Jit.art ! of Fire anil Police commls-
loners 1ms already hnd set aside to It and
may use Us full share of the city funds for
lie present year , being1 the proceeds of
axes levied for lire and police purposes
nder the city charter and constituting the
ru and police funds.
There are no other available funds for
he appropriation rtqiicsted , the general
und being already overburdened with
resslng demands und In no condition to be
Bed for extraordinary and unusual pur-
loses.
AN EXPENSIVE FAILURE.
To appropriate money for the uie oC the
re nnd police commissioners In carrying
n their present iniiiiaKement of the gnmb-
ins question would be Inndvtsable , even It
he funds were at hand , for the reason that
heir management has proved to be an ex-
icnslve failure and opposed to the moral
mil financial Interests of the city nnd de-
norallzlng to the members of the police
orce.
The very letter from Chief Seavey , which
s attached to and Is the subject of this
eport , slates In so many words that there
are more places where gambling Is carried
n at present In Omaha than at nny time
luring the last two years , anil the same
ctter states , In effect , tlmt the gambling
oems are eo hidden and guarded and fur-
ilshitl with warning electrical appliances
hat It Is Impossible for the police force , ns
t present constituted , to break them up or
xerclse nny watchfulness over them.
Gambling In Omnha now prevails more
generally , more secretly , with greater Im
munity from the police , and consequently
more dangerously to the Interests of the
ommunlty , thnn ever before. At the same
Ime the public , as a necessary consequence
of the present condition of things , which
jrevents police visitation , Is deprived of an
amount of money which may be estimated
at 120,000 a yenr , and which should be 1m-
> osed by the police court as flues on
tumblers , but which cannot now l > e levied
imlpr the present inclllclent nnd crlme-
iroedlng' system for want of proof.
The sole Instance of efOctlve antl-Bam-
illiig activity on the part of the commie-
loners has been In the prohibition of pool
soiling at the late Nebraska Breeders as
sociation races. This measure utteily de
stroyed the success of the races , caused n
oEs of several thousand dollars to the tnan-
urement , necessitated the scaling down of
ull purses two-thirds , advertised Omaha to
he world as n city In which race meetings
cannot be held , gnvo a black eye to the
> reedlng Interests , of which Omaha desires
0 be the center , nnd greatly destroyed
Omaha's chances of securing the location
of the state fair for the next live years.
While we do not conddmn the enrorce-
nent oC the law , , wu believe that when a
jody enforces the gambling law only on a
special occasion , when Itu enforcement Is
1 sreat and distinct Injury to our city ,
)0th at home und abroad , nnd at all qthcr
times sits by while Oay In and Jay out
gambling of the worst unil most secret
chaiactcr Is Increasing and flourishing In
Dmalm without hindrance or penalty , then
.he jiollcy of that liody with regard to our
g-ainbllnpr question Is n signal failure.
Your committee therefore recommends
.hat the request of the commissioners for
additional funds be refilled , and recommends
that henceforth the gambling question bo
dealt with ucccnllnjr to the ordinances of
the city of Omaha , by the mayor und city
council ,

UNION DEPOT ORDINANCE.
The union depot ordinance was Introduced
and laid over under the rules. This was
against the protest of a minority of seven ,
who Insisted that the ordinance shoiud bo
referred to the committee of the whole to be
llscitssed next Monday night.
The mayor transmitted his fourth veto of
terns In the appropriation ordinance provld
ing for the partial payment of th ? $14,000
claim of the Barber Asphalt company. The
veto was on the. grounds previously stated
and was sustained by a margin of one vote.
The veto of a resolution locating additional
water fountains was also sustained.
The building Inspector reported that most
of the election booths uerc out of repair , and
the matter was referred to the Board of Pub- ,
llc Works , the building Inspector and the
city engineer , with power to act.
In connection with a statement showing the
condition of the city finances , Comptroller
Olscn caiUd the attention of the council to
the fact that the balance In the lighting fund
was only $5,229.03 , and that In the health
fund $113.39 , On this account he could
make no more appropriations from the
health fund. Referred.
The Board of Education submitted a ccpy
of resolutions protesting against the opening
of the packing house at Sheeley's station , on
the ground of Its proximity to the Dupont
school. They were referred to the committee
on police.
A number of supervisors- registration
were recommended to fill vacancies nnd were
approved.
iTho dog catcher was directed to stop
Impounding dogs eftcr September 20.
The much agitated question of awarding
the contract far steam coal bobbed up
again In the shape of two reports from the
committee. An hour was passed In dis
cussing the comparative merits of the
Cherokee * nd Wear coal nnd each side had
a long list of testimonials to read In support
of Its position. The Cherokee finally came
under the wire a neck ahead and the con
tract was ordered let to C. D.'Havens & CJ.
OPPOSED ELSASSEU'S PLAN.
On recommendation of the committee on
gas and electric lights the council went Into
a committee ot the whole to consider-
Elsasser's ordinance providing for the sub
mission at the coming election of the ques
tion of the Issuing of $200,000 In bonds for
the construction of an electric light plant.
Several members objected to the ordinance
on account of the prospective submission of
the canal proposition , which , if It carried ,
would supply the power for the dynamos and
thus render the rutting In of a steam plant
unnecessary. It was also urged that the
submission of on additional bond proposi
tion at this time might endanger the suc
cess of the canal proposition , It was finally
decided that further consideration of the
ordinance should be Indefinitely postponed.
The special oummltteo to which was
referred the communication of the mayor
in. regard to the. appointment of a com
mittee ot fifteen citizens and flvo mem
bers of the council to consider further
amendments to the city charter reported ,
recommending that the president of Iho
council appoint two councllmen and two
citizens to act with the committee ap
pointed by the council July 17. The re
port was adopted and Messrs. J. J. Brown
and K. R. Overall and Councllmen Burkley
and Wheeler appointed.
Spccht gave notice that 'at ' the next
meeting he would move tbo reconsidera
tion ot the action of September 11 , by
which the Item ot $3,600 in favor ol the
Board of Health was removed from the
appropriation ordinance. This action was
later forestalled by a. resolution by Soun
ders "ordering the comptroller to transfer
the aum mentioned from the general
fund to the health fund , which was adopted.

SHE'S ' QUEEN BY COMPULSION
Qucor Story of a Girl's ' Predicament in the
OinnibaU1 Oonntrj.
SAD FATE OF A SOUTH SEA ISLAND RULER
Young and lllilily ICdiirntcil Yet Forced
Into n Condition or Cnptltlly Untlor
tub NIIIIIO Sovereignty Unit IliiR-
llh mill IJiUf Native.
SAN KKANCISCO. Sept. IS. The bark
Helen N. Hamoy , just returned ( rom a long
voyage among Uiu islaiuls ot the Soutli 1'a-
clllc , brings tlie story ot n tropical princess ,
lialf English and halt native , who rules over
the Manua group against her wishes , though
her subjects worship her much nftor the
fashion that the Corcans worship their king
or as the Peruvians humbled themselves be
fore the virgins of the sun.
History repeats Itself In the biography of
Margaret Young , the English name ot the
prisoner princess , for the story of Francis
Young , a sailor who landed at the Island of
Tau nearly lOO years ago , Is recalled. This
man married n Tau native woman who was
queen of the group. Ills son by her wedded a
half-breed maiden. Margaret Young la the
daughter of that son. Through the death of
all the heirs apparent to the throne , Miss
Young found herself called upon to assume
the power of mistress of the Islands. This
news was conveyed to her at Apia some
months ago by a delegation of chiefs from
Manua , and she. was forced by the laws of
hereditary obtaining In the southern archipelago
pelage to accompany them back to Tau , where
she was Immediately Installed as queen.
Great Interest Is lent to the case of the
girl , who Is but 22 years of age , by the re
port that she la highly educated , and was at
the time of her sudden call from Apia hap
pily pursuing the .course of her studies at n
Catholic convent. Captain Luttrel of the
1 tamos' , and his wife , who accompanied him on
his last trip , were the first white people per
mitted to Interview the queen , and obtained
from her majesty the story that her life was
one of misery In spite of the profound re
spect shown her by her native subjects , She
Is a ruler who Is compelled to maintain an
odious reserve , the sanctity of her dwelling
being rigidly preserved by fierce warriors
who stand ready to decapitate the bold In
truder who dares to enter the queen's sacred
presence without first being especially ap
pointed by the spirit flrcs and summoned by
n council of chiefs.
"The grand chief of the group Is the only
man that Is allowed to approach the queen , "
explained Captain Lutlrel. "He attends to
her wants , assisted by two maids who never
leave her side except when they arc called
upon to do lur bidding. Should any native
desire to pay tribute to her In the shape of
flsh or fowl , he must fasten his gift upon
the end of a bamboo pole , advance with
cloied eye and thrust the stick through the
door of the palace.
"Quren Margaret Is not allowed to walk
outside her cabin limit. She must bo carried
on a litter by her maids , and when she
ventures forth upon such a journey her sub
jects are ordered , under pain of death , to
keep hidden In their respective domiciles. "
The captive queen explained to Luttrel
that she desired to be freed but had never
dared to say so to those who hold her pris
oner. She explained that her subjects were
klndhcarted and meant to cause her no un-
happlness but they religiously followed the
customs of their ancestors In acting as they
did toward her.

Binttll or inter
sected by windows

it Is often much
bolter to fur
nish It in sep
arate install
ments rather
than by complete pieces.
Thus , a Hull Stand subdivides Itself
into a Hall Mirror , a Hull Table and n
Hall Chair. There may be good light
for the Mirror beside a window , the
Table can bo placed under the stairu and
the Ohalr in the corner. Thus three
pieces are stowed , when a regular Hall
Stand would have been impossible.
Again. The Hall Stand being largo
naturally dwarfs the size of the Hall.
LJut divide It into thrco parts and } t is
rightly proportioned to the apartment.
