ret the results as encouraging to the
uise which they represent. To show
ow far the silver tptestlon entoretl Into

est publishes In double column , for
uriKses of comparison , the money
InnkH of the platfornm of the two great
olltlcal parties In nil of the states In
hleh the buttle has been waged. The
nhle Is certainly Interesting nntl In-
trnctlve , If not conclusive , ns to the
xtent to which the Issue was really In-
olvetl.
The states naturally fall Into three
lasses , those In which both parties tie-
lured for Immediate free coinage , those
t which both parties dedared for
otind and stable currency nntl those
i which the parties are tit variance
n the subject. In Colorado , for ex-
itiple , all parties demand the rcstora-
Ion without delay of the coinage on
( jual terms of both void and silver at
he old ratio of 1(1 ( to 1. The same 1.4
rue In Wyoming. Montana , Idaho nnd
( her mining states , where there Is prac-
Iral unanimity of opinion In favor of
he so-called demands of silver. In a
oiiHtderable number of states , such as
S'ew York , the New Kngland states ,
VIsconsIn , Iowa and several of the
orthwestern states , both parties are
mphatlc In endorsing the repeal of the
iherman silver purchasing law and In
nslstlng on u currency composed of
'old , silver and paper , every dollar of
vhlch shall at all times be readily ex-
haugeable for every other dollar ,
'hese platforms repudiate any action
hat would In any way endanger the
( ability of our monetary system.
In no party platforms was the silver
sstte drawn so sharply ns In Nebraska.
vhere the two parties came out squarely
nd unmistakably In favor of opposite
lositlons. The republicans say that
\Yltlle we favor bimetallism and de-
muni the use of both gold and silver
tnuilard money , we Insist that the
Ktrlty of the value of the two metal *
> e maintained so that every dollar ,
in per or coin , Issued by the govern-
iient shall be as good as any other. "
On the other hand , the democrats ex-
iressed their attitude in tills plank ;
' \\'e favor the Immediate restoration
jf the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present ratio of
10 to 1 , without wiiltlng for the aid ot
consent of any other nation on earth. "
Yet , as every one Is well aware , tht
contest between the state tickets was
ought on entirely different lines. Tin
sliver Issue played some ynmll part In
he congressional canvass and wiu
nentloned now and then by speakers
vho were expatiating In general on re
ntbllcanlsm or democracy , but it can
mrdly be said that the result turnetl
in this point. We presume that tlu
name Is true In other states , with this
inaltficatton , that the republican partj

n-inclples of sound currency , whlcl

swelling tide of republican popularity.
JVWIP milK ,
The cleansing of the Augean stable !
was a far less Herculean task than wll
levolve upon Colonel Strong , the mayor
Meet of New York , and life reform of
icluls elected with him in purging tha
. Ity of the corruption and venality tha
liave prevailed there under the contro
of Tammany. The work that Ilercule :
was ordered to perform was that o
removing the deposits of 15,000 oxei
luring many years and the slmpli
process lie employed was that of turn
lug the waters of two rivers Into tin
llth-congested sitables. It would hi
comparatively easy If this plan cotilt
be atlopted for the purgation of tin
commercial metropolis of the country
but no deluge within the limitation o
human power could reach the numerou
recesses of political rascality and basi
criminality which have marked th
course of the Tammany organization.
I'lte developments from the luvestl
gallon of the I.exow committee , start
ling as they have been , as evidence o
the extraordinary corruption exlstlni
under Tammany rule , have enl ;
touched one department of the Nev
York city government. While every
body at all conversant with the pollc
department of New York City knew I
to be corrupt the revelations have gen
beyond what had been suspected , bu
even these , there Is every reason to bt' '
Hove , are not worse than have prevails
In other departments. The police dt
partment , It has been demonstrated be
yond question , has for years been ai
organized blackmailing machine , exacl
ing trlbuto from every source wher
It dared to levy It , and doing this re
lentlessly and unscrupulously. It ha
accorded for a price protection to th
very worst elements of society. Nolmd
was so bad that he or she could no
get the countenance and toleration n
the police If willing to pay for It. Ca
there bo any doubt that the Judicial dc
parUttent was equally vile , for had 1
not been Is It not absolutely certali
that the police could not have main
tallied for years the policy they ar
shown to have carried on ? Is It no
equally certain , also , that other depari
nie-.ts of the municipal government wf r
more or less cognizant of this state ti
affairs , for It Is an unquestionable fat
that all of them profited by It.
It will be the business of the ne\ \
city government of Now York , as fa
as Its authority extends , to Instltut
a radical remedy for the unfortunat
conditions which have made the mun
clpal government of New York City
reproach to the country. There wl
need to bo n sweeping purgation of th
foul Augean stable In which there I
an accumulation of rascality , veimllt
and corruption such as has never bee
known before In this or any other com
try. It will bo an enormous task , r <
quiring In Its performance the lit mo ;
wisdom and discretion , buflt Is one tlu
must be ( Irmly met and fearlessly | > c
formed. The verdict of the people c
New York City Is overwhelmingly ft
reform and the men they have chose
to carry out their wishes must not sto
at any half-way measures. A. con
> lote nnd thorough renovation of the
"Vew York i-lty government IH what the
> cople demand , nnd nothing less will
allsfy them. The victory of the voters
vho supported the cause of reform was
or good government and decent , honest
lolitlcs , and the men chosen to carry
ut this policy are bound by every ob-
gallon to faithfully carry out the
vishes of the people. There Is every
eason to believe they will do so.

According to advices from Washing-
on another Issue of bonds Is conlem-
latetl by the administration. It Is said
liat the president Is convinced that It
vlll be necessary to put out ? "O.OOttKKI )
lore at an early date anil that the
iiestlon of doing this Is being seriously
onsldered. The report Is that the
resilient , acting under the authority
f existing law , Is disposed to proceed
n this matter at once , Instead of wait-
ng for action by his party in congress ,
vlilch might not be favorable to the Is-
uo of more bonds. As a matter of fact
lie president fully understands that
robably congress would not , If the
uestlon were left tn that hotly , per-
lit him to Issue more bonds. A reso-
utlon looking to that was beaten In
he present house ami there can be no
ouht that if another was introduced
mklng to the extension of the public
ebt it would meet with the same fate ,
'rue , the circumstances are a little dlf-
erent now from what they were when
he former resolution was Introduced.
hen It was believed that uiuler the
tew tariff law the treasury would get
,11 the revenue it required to meet the
tirrent expenditures of the government
mil the gold reserve would be built up
o the normal standard.
Hxperlence has shown that this view
vas wrong. As a revenue measure the
tew tariff law Is an absolute failure ,
nil the gold reserve continues to be
nine ? 40,000,0 < )0 ) behind what It ought
o be. The prospect of a change for
he better Is not encouraging. Impor-
atlons are not growing for the reason
hat the market does not demand them.
Che gold reserve of the treasury does
lot Increase because duties are being
mid In other forms of currency. The
iggregate receipts of the treasury do
lot equal the expenditures and every
uonth brings a deficiency , which must
e made up by future appropriations.
How long can this state of tilings gen
> n without very serious Injury to the
retllt of the government ? As a matter
> f fact the government is today in
solvent. If called upon to redeem Its
obligations , as provided for under the
aw of 1875 , It could not do so. The
. retllt of every single dollar of paper
ssued by the government Is at till *
.line resting upon the public faith and
lot upon un actual basis of redemp-
: lou. So far as that basis Is concerned
t does not exceed 10 cents on the < lol-
ar of tlie actual obligations of the
government Such a condition is well
calculated to create distrust , but there
, s good reason to believe that this will
, > o averted by reason of the result ol
last Tuesday's elections , which is an
insurance to the country that the demo-
itlc policy regarding the. tariff nnil
the finances cannot bo carried any far
ther. The election of a republican
louse of representatives means thai
there will be no more tariff tinkerinp
> y the present congress and also thai
: here will be no currency legislation
tlmt will Imperil the soundness ami
stability of our finances. The coun
try Is , therefore , safe from any new
perils , and the pat-amount question Is ate >
to what shall be done to provide fet
current expenditures. Another bom'
Issue seems not only probable , but ab
soltitely necessary.
The speaker-ship of the next house ol
the Nebraska legislature is one of the
plums which will boon begin to cut r
figure among the newly elected rep re
sentatlves. The candidates for tha
place have been kept In the backgrouni
owing to the uncertainty of their owi
success at the polls. Now that tin
membership of the house has been dell
nltely determined the would-be speak
ers will no longer be bashful about pre
seiitlug their claims. That the speakei
will be a republican Is taken as a mat
ter of course , as also that there will bt
plenty of available timber to selee
from. The position is one of no llttli
Importance and every member of tin
legislature should weigh carefully tin
different considerations before ranglni
himself as the supporter of one asplran
or another.
The London Chronicle ascribes tin
defeat of Chairman Wilson to the fac
that he permitted himself to be enter
tallied abroad during his recent vlsi
to Kngland. This is giving the Londoi
dinner an influence which in

venture to do. Tlmt Incident , to bi
sure , furnished a certain amount of pa
lltlcal capital to his opponents , but 1
was not and could not be inado th
Issue between the two contestants fo
congressional honors * . It was the cans
which he represented , not his entei
tainment In London , that carried Mi
Wilson down with his associates tin

Young girls In Denver are developing n
taste nnd physical capability for football which
la surprising , and two dubs , called respec
tively "The Denver" nnd the "All America , "
nre already formed , with peed men for
conchers. The average- weight of the All
America team Is 131 pounds , while the other
Is 133 pounds. The girls wear the regula
tion football costume , | < added trousers , jack
ets , Tarn o' Shnnttrs and all , and the only
variation In the uniforms nf the t\\o clubs
Is In the color of the caps and stockings.
Their game Is not so rough ns that played
by the men , so they do not disfigure their
faces with nose protectors nnd envelop their
graceful ankles In "shin guards. " Knch
team has a girl for captain who has hail ex
perience In the Rugby nnd a < sop ntlon games ,
mil all skylarking Is promptly regulated.
The Denver cautaln lias played In the < nst
it seminaries , where the football cloven ex
ists In secret only , and she thoroughly un
derstands the game , To avoid the ? crowd
of spectators that would be Inevitable , they
play In a largo hull , with all the disadvan
tages of a hard wood lloor. They show won
derful pluck and nerve , nnd refuse assistance
when they are throw n with all the ile'tcr-
mlnatlon of their brothers. It Is said by
their conchers that they play an excellent
same , not forgetting themselves or getting n
bit rattled. They line up very quickly after
they arc down , and go Into the game ns If
they enjoyed H. One peculiarity of their
| ) lay Is that with one or two exceptions they
liavo never seen n game played by men , nnd
they piny with a snap which never could be
acquired by seeing men play. They appre
ciate the necessity of rest , and whcntiver
there Is a chnncu they drop flat on the floor.
There Is n real , genuine rivalry between the
teams , and there Is to bo a prize of $50 glven
lo the winning team at the next game. The
contract provides that every girl shall re
ceive her salary an hour before the gamo.
The craze for making flowers and plants
as much n part of the house furnishing as
nro pictures nnd < Irnperles continues , nnd
even Increaics. No drawing room and bou
doir can now bo considered complete without
palms , ferns , rubber trees nnd graceful ar
rangements of cut flowers. Some feminine
members of the "smart set" make n fad of
keeping about them a special flower-
always , of course , the rarest and most cx-
ponslvc kind attainable. The newest ferns
are also sought pertinaciously.
A good deal of attention Is given to the
"composition" of flower masses In n room ,
the colorings being as carefully harmonized
or contrasted as pigments In a picture. Most
( lowers are , of course , arranged by them
selves with their own leaves , or with sprays
of delicate fern , and every effort Is made to
show the beauty of stem nnd leaf. The
whole arrangement must be loose nnd nr-
tlstlcally graceful. An excellent effect can
always bo obtained by n skilful combination
of different colors of the same flower. A
beautiful group can be made , for example ,
of yellow , orange , bronze nnd dull red chrys
anthemum * a single pink blossom would
spoil the picture.
The hair dressing ot the moment Is varied
enough to suit any contour. There Is but
one emphatic "Don't , " nnd that pertains
to bangs. Even the saleswomen have left
oft the last semblance of bangs the long ,
drooping curl on the forehead and have
Joined the rest of the women In wearing
parted locks drawn nway from the fore
head In loose waves nnd held here and there
by the little tucking combs that arc In high
vogue. Every woman who sees Elsie de
Wolf's arrangement of her hair In the third
net ot "The Bauble Shop" straightway re
solves to go home and copy It. and many
heads tt suits as It does the well shaped one
of that popular actress. The use of these
combs Is one more evidence of the adapta
bility of women. When bangs were or
dered out and parts and waves were ordered
In the women who had been cutting their
front hair In a fringe for years found them
selves 'n nn unpleasant predicament. A
crop of uneven , aggressive short ends of
hair was their only harvest. The combs
were resorted to by a clever woman , and the !
way out of the dilemma was promptly seen
and taken advantage of. Now a straggling
lock simply means one more comb.
Th9 hair dressing called the "Gaiety Girl
stylo" is a coiffure caprice ot the moment.
It wns brought Into notice by the troupe ot
young Englishwomen who have been delight
ing Now York on Daly's ttage , nnd Is a
neglige arrangement of the front lialr , drawn
low over the cars and ending In a chignon
bunch that rests fairly on the. neck at the
back. Women try It once and then try
another way.
The Russian garland bids fair to supersede
the heretofore popular shower bouquet for
bridesmaids' use. They are slung over the
arm , and fall to the hem of the skirt. Those
thus carried at a recent ucddlng were of
entwined roses and buds , and IUIIIE from n
band of rose satin ribbon , which rested on
the arm In a butterfly bow. At the same
wedding the bridegroom united with the
bride In the souvenir gifts to the bridesmaids.
Those were not the conventional and monotonous
onous brooch or locket , but took the form of
exquisite point lace fans. In each of which
were set In the outer sticks beautifully ex
ecuted miniatures of the bridal pair. Those
who know the high prices charged by mln-
laturo painters will appreciate the amount of
money needed to Indulge In these tasteful
gifts. Most of this sort of painting Is done
by women artists , and the price expands as
the portraits shrink. A miniature of the or-
dlnarv size costs about $125 , and a tiny one
to set In a fan stick advances considerably
above that price.
The leaders of fashion In Paris have de
clared that pearls shall be the moat fashion
able of all ornaments this winter , Strings of
flno pearls will bo twisted in and out among
the cells of the hair , a happy revival of the
styles In VORIICI In the day * of I.oiiln Qutnze ,
when the Indies of Kratico wore tllclr halt
powdered anil decked with pearls. The u.it
of penrls will hot lie confined to the hair ,
however , for they will bo worn In every
kind of n necklace , ft out a tingle row to K
wide collar made ot rouof pearls , caugh' ,
together with a diamond cl.isp at Intervals
around the neck. A long , slender chain uf
pearls Is another fancy , mid this Is worn
twlco around the throat , forming n kind ot
necklace. U 'alls In grnccful loops to tlio
waist , and Is caught at one tldo of the cor
sage by a Jewelled pin.
For those > \ho cannot afford the genuine
article , there arc surprisingly good reproduc
tions ot the most costly pearls. Art tins Im
proved on the old fashioned Imitation , which
never varied In color from the waxy white
ness , and now the changing tints are brought
out In all the cxquUlto colorings of the real
gem.
