The bottom Is dropping out of sev

of course , owing to the fact that Kan-

The Washington correspondent of the
rxHilnvlllo Courier-Journal does not fall
In with the boastful claim of Senator
Faulkner and Congressman Hynum of
the democratic congressional coiumlttco
that the democrats are certain to him *
control of the next house of represent-
allves. He very truly says that it Is
nu easy matter to carry elections on
paper , but not so easy to carry them ill
the polls , and having made n careful
nnd evidently candid and Intelligent
Htiltly nf the situation he expresses the
opinion that neither one of the two
great parties lias any substantial
grounds upon which to base the claim
that It will carry the lower house of
the Flfly-l'oiirlh congress. This o > rre-
spomlcnt says that If the elections wore
t occur now there Is not the slightest
doubt that I he republicans would carry
the house by perhaps llfteen or twenty
majority , but he expects that In the
time before the November verdict Is
rendered at the ballot boxes the demo
crats will do n good deal to aver ! defeat.
It Is hardly probable that popular sen
timent , so far as the choice of repre
sentatives Is concerned , will undergo
any very great change during the next
six weeks. The democrats are counting
somewhat upon an Unproved condition
of business , but they can get no credit
for that , nor will It mitigate In the
slightest degree the responsibility in
which they are held for the depression.
Hut the fact must not be lost sight nf
that the democratic majority In the
present house to be overcome Is a very
large one and Unit the republicans have
some disadvantages to encounter. From
the south the democrats have 1111 repre
sentatives to six republicans. With
these 1121 southern votes the democrats
only need fifty-eight to make a majority
of the hou. c. and they have twenty-
eight states from which to elect these ,
lint the republicans must secure 17:2 :
members In these twenty-eight states ,
while the democrats are only required
to elect llfty-uliie from the same states.
In "other words , the democrats have
only to elect llfty-nlne members while
wo have to elect 172. Undoubtedly ,
however , the democrats will Io < e repre
sentatives in the south , probably ten or
twelve , which will reduce the number
the republicans must elect In the north
ern states In order to secure a majority
of the next housi . While , therefore ,
there seems to be no good reason to
doubt that the lower branch of the
Fifly-l'otirlli congress will be republican
by a good working majority , there is
still work for republicans to do In the
congressional districts.
Washington advices say that th'e dem
ocratic congressional campaign commit
tee is embarrassed for want of funds.
It Is said to be with the greatest dllll-
citlty that contributions to defray the
legitimate expenses of the pending cam
paign can be secured. Persons who
have heretofore been liberal contrib
utors to the campaign fund display an
utter indifference as to the result of
the approaching contest.

According to Chairman Wilson of the
ways and means committee , who is in
Muropc seeking to regain his health ,
Mr. Cleveland will not seek another
nomination for the presidency. The
West Virginia representative Is very'
close in the confidence of the president
and It Is ( | iiite generally thought that
In expressing tills opinion he spoke
with authority. There are some , how
ever , who believe that whatever may
be the present intention of the presi
dent with respiVt to USK ! , when the time
comes for making the nomination he
can be Induced to take It , Obviously it
would not be good policy for him to In
dicate this-at present , nnd wllli so
shrewd a political adviser nt his elbow
as Daniel Lament he will not be likely
to make any mistake in this particular.
Yet there have been intimations that
Mr. Cleveland was already preparing
the way for carrying off the nomination
two yours hence , and It is not at all
unlikely that he desires to remain at
the head of Ills party for another as
sault upon protection. As yet he has
done nothing to gvo ) him renown lit
history and it is easy to bellevo that
liu Is ambitious to accomplish some
thing that Will give him n distinct
place In our political history. lie would
attain this If lie should bring about the
radical change in ( lie economic policy
of the country which lie 1ms urgt'd for
the past seven years and ns to which ho
feels Hull he lias n sort of copyright ,
and therefore It Is by uo means Improb
able that .Mr Cleveland would like to
again be the candidate of his party. 1C
ho should be elected for the third tlmo
that alone would give him an excep
tional place In history.
Hut assuming that Mr. Wilson speaks
with authority and that Mr. Cleveland
will not accept a renominatlon , who
among the present recognized demo
cratic leaders Is likely to be the candi
date' . ' Scn.lov : 11111 has shown himself
to be one of ( lie ablest men in the party
and something more than an exceed
ingly astute politician , but ho could not
get the support of southern delegates
nor any considerable number from the
west. There Is no reason to believe
that he will have much more support
in the convention of 1SOi ( tlmn he did In
that of 1S1K2. Hx-Secretary Whitney of
New York is a man of good ability and
high character , hut ho Is Identified
with corporations to an extent that
would militate great ? ; against his avail
ability. Other eastern men who have
some claims to consideration are ex-
CJovernor Hussell of Massachusetts and
( Sovernor Putt ( son of Pennsylvania , but
neither is strong outside of his state.
A Vest of the Alleglianles the democrats
have not itn available man and they
will hardly venture to take a candi
date from the south. There is presi
dential m-.iterlal In Senator Cirny of
Delaware , but the fact that his state
linx only three electoral votes Is against
him. Secretary Carlisle's chances of
ever being a candidate for president
have been obliterated , ns have those of
Mr. ( ionium also.
It will thus be seen that there is more
than n possibility that the democracy
will bo compelled to again nuiko Mr ,
Cleveland Its standard bearer In n na
tional campaign , and undoubtedly if
the nomination should come to him ho
would not rojocl II. That ho wilt ntit
seek it Is probable , but this does not
necessarily Imply that he will not ac
cent It If it Is ottered In him.

It Is admitted that the only purpose
of submitting n new union depot propo
sition to the voters of Omaha nt the
roinltiir election is lo relieve the t'nloli
Depot company and the 1'nlon Pacltlc
Unilwiiy company from tin * obligation
under which they now rest to admit.nil
other railroads to the use of any station
( hey may build upon the paymeiit'of an
cUltable ( | and reasonable remuneration
for the privilege. The sole argument
that : has been adduced In support of
this proix'sal Is that the agreement to
tills effect with the city has never
availed anything nnd that It Is there
fore useless to insist upon nr.iinlnliilng
It' longer. The railroads and their
mouthpieces are trying their best to be
little the value of the condition In the
title deeds to the depot grounds In order
to make the people believe that what is .
requested of them Is really n matter of
no moment.
If the concession were , as n mailer of
fact , of no consetiueneo It would be
strange indeed for the railroads lo exert
themselves so strenuously to secure It.
On the iittcstIon of the Importance of
having n station open to all niilroads
which may desire to enter , however ,
w * have the testimony of an otilclal of
the railroad most concerned that liter
ally undermines the position of the sup
porters of the present proposition , Dur
ing the agitation for the voting of bonds
as a subsidy for n union depot In 1SSD
Hon. John M. Thurstoii made several
speeches in favor of the project. In an
address before the Itenl Kslate ex
change , in answer to the complaint that ,
the proposition then before the people
was calculated to relieve the 1'uloii
Pacltlc of Its obligation to admit other
railroads to share Us terminal facilities ,
he said :
Now , It Is further charged as a reason
wtiy these bonds should not bo voted that
the Union Pacific lUillway company anil the
Uiirllneton company give no guaranty tint
they will permit other railroad companies to
occupy and have a share In this depot. In
tlu first place , KentUmicn. I ask any business
man her ; who knows anything about the
operation of a railroad lo tell me from a
business standpoint what tUci > e railroads , the
Union I'aclfic and the 1J. & M. , need with a
Kriiiid union depot here unle.sx they want It
foi the express ptirpotio of getting the- other
rnllioails Into It and making the other roads
pay n proportionate share of the expense.
The erection of a depot ut any other kind
l > y the two companies Is uncalled for and
immccfsary , and would be a losing Invest
ment. That la the first proposition. In the
uccrnd place , this depot company In the propo
sition la retiulred to give a bonil In the sum
of $20 ,000 , guaranteed also by the Union
1'uclflc company and the 13. & M. company ,
tl.at It will permit all jjtlior railroads to come
into and have u share In the use of this
depot upon just and equitable terms. Now ,
Kct.tlemen , I drew the portion of thai proposition
'
sition which provided the manner of secur-
I UK to the people ot this city the occupancy
of that depot and the use of the bridge by
other railroad companies on just and cqult-
abl ? terms. I said to our people that the
citizens of Omaha hail the right to require
such a promise upon .our part , ' and- the
incr.ns ought to be provided In the proposi
tion by which they coulil be fairly well
satisfied that there would be nothing put In
the way by the Union Pacific company lo
prevent otlur companies from coming Into
the depot , and from using the bridge on just
and equitable terms ,
What the railroads in ISb ! ) themselves
said the cltixcns of Omulni had ; i right
to require they now seek to Illch from
this voters by alleging that It Is of no
consequence whatever.Vhat changes
have occurred In the last few years to
nmku the free entrance and exit of all
railroads into this city'any lens valuable
to our commercial Interests ? What
reason Is there now any more than
then to relinquish a condition which is
acknowledged to be held of right ? Not
a single valid argument has yet been
made why the proposed depot proposi
tion should be carried at the polls or
even submitted to the voters.
KXTEA'DIXd ClVll , SKRVICK REFORM
This Xe\v York constitutional conven
tion has adopted a proposed amendment
to the state constitution which contem
plates n. broad extension of civil service
reform. It provides that appointments
and promotions In the civil service of
Ilio state and of all civil divisions of
the state and of the cities anil villages
shall be made according to merit nnd
fitness , to lie ascertained so far-us prac
ticable by examinations , which , so fai
ns practicable , shall be competitive.
Honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors from the army and navy of the
United Stales In the Into civil war , who
are citizens and residents of the state ,
shall be entitled to preference in ap
pointments and promotion , without re
gard to their standing on any list from
which appointment or promotion may
be made.
The growth of popular sentiment
fuvornhlc to civil service reform has
not been KO rapid nor become so genera -
era I , perhaps , as Its more earnest ami
ardent advocates had hoped. There Is
still n large element of the people who
are indifferent to it and It continues to
encounter opposition from n class of
politicians. Now and then some one In
high position will raise ids voice against
It and spoilsmen In and out of olllce lose
no opportunity to manifest their dislike
of the principle. lint evidence Is not
lacking Unit surely , if slowly , civil serv
ice reform Is gaining strength with Un
intelligent people of the country und
that like ballot reform it is certain in
time to be generally adopted and by the
better class of cltlxens everywhere un
proved. Opposition to the principle has
been growing less aggressive during the
last few years. .Spoilsmen In congress ,
having learned the futility of inveighing
against It , have ceased to do so , at least
In a public way. There are public olll-
dais who nro known to be unfriendly to
It , but they arc generally careful not
to manifest their feeling In nclive op
position. Possibly n majority of the
party now In control of the government
would be glatl to" see the reform aban
doned , but no member of that parly
having any commanding Influence
would venture to propose this at > n party
measure. Indeed , clvlj service reform
Is accepted by the belter class of men

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. St. Qencr * .
Antolno Kuct.i mid his attorneys have left
surreptitiously for Mexico. They hnil bought
their tickets secretly the night before. So
careful wcro they In their efforts that even
after they had bought their railway trans
portation they gave It out to the press tli.U
they were not to leave here for several
lays.
The general , his servants and two Now
York attorneys left the hotel quietly tn a
carriage an hour .before the lime of the
regular departure of this train. They
crossed to Oakland pier ahead ot regular
ppssengn-a and sought the privacy of Iholr
sleepers.
Persons who sotnu days ago received an
Inkling of the subjects of the telegrams
flying between hero and Mexico say they
Ki.thered that the consolidation ot nil Central
America with Mexico was being considered.
Furthermore , that Kzetii's Intentions wcro
to rnlso nn army and proceed at otiro to
oust hla enemies. Whether It was to regain
possession of Salvador only or to effect n.
union of Rome sort ofvhlcli he him long
dreamed Is net known , but there Is Illtlo
doubt that It Us one or the other.
General Colochl left hero on the 10th Inst
nnd went straight to Mexico City. Ho ul
once apparently laid the whole matter be
fore certain Inlluentlnl people there ami they
rcircspondrd by telegraph with ex-President
Kyeln. The telegrams from Mexico have
been coming thick nnd Cast , and there Ii
piol'iihly some foumlnllo : ; for the rumors.

OAKLAND , Cal. . Sept. 24. Lieutenant
Colonel Juan Clenfiifiox , the young refugee ,
\vlii.so return lo Salvador on a charge ot at-
tempted murder has been ordered by Judge
Morrow , spent a lonely Sunday In hla cell
at the Alamcda county jail. He said that
ho was confident of regaining freedom ns
soon as his case Is brought bfore the presi
dent.
" 1 expect to be free in four or live days , "
sold he. "Not knowing a word of KuglUh
makes It very hard for mo to bo locked up
like this In a foreign country , but t havu
several frltnds here ulio call on mo.
"Go back to San Salvador ? Never ! 1
would rather die a thousand deaths ! "
When nsked what ho would do if he had
to go ho replied : "I most certainly uouhl
take my life. Rather anything than have
my enemies who arc walling to ussasshuta
mo get a chnnco to triumph over me.
"Before Ocncral Ezeta Blurted from San
Frcnclsco he wrote me this letter : 'Dear
Junlto : It hurts my soul to leave th e. hut

reconciled und then you will be free. You

they have telegraphed to the president. ' "
Trip to Washington \Vniild Hn I'selus * .
CHICAGO , Sept. 21. If General Ezeta't
object In coming to Washington Is , as Ii
stated , to intervene In behalf of Colonel Clen
fugos , who was held by Judge Morrow foi
extradition on a charge of murder , hla visit
Is likely to prove fruitless. While the sec
retary ot state Is not absolutely bound la
grant extradition papers by the action of a
United States commissioner or court , his
power to revise their findings Is rarely exer
cised and only In cases where a very strong
case Is made for the accused or new evidence
Is presented. The hearing before Judgs
Morrow Is regarded as having been very full
and fair , und it Is extremely improbable
that anything Oeneral Kzcla can adduce will
move the State department to refuse Clcn-
fugo's extradition.
SAN FRANCISCO , Sept. 24. Colonel Clen-
'fugos , Ilio one San Salvadorean refugee re

authorities , b ? confined In the Oakland Jail.
This afternoon ho wa.i Hhovvn the. Associated
press dispatches from Washington that his
prospects for release were very poor. Ho
said : "I don't fear that I shall be sent back
to San Salvador. My attorneys and friends

Cleveland will not sign the warrant ot extra
