LITTLE HOPE FOR DEMOCRACY
Likened Unto a House that is Divided
Against Itself.
WATTERSON ON CLEVELAND'S MESSAGE
linn Xot Ho ml ( tic Mnnlfe lo mill
Iliii-N not Think Mint lie AVIII do
Ho I.title to Commend the
Document.
Colonel Henry Wattcrson , editor of the
Lculsvllle Courier-Journal , who has been In
Omaha for two daja past on a lecture en
gagement , left last evening for the cast. Mr.
Wattorson has lecture datea which will take
him through Iowa , Illinois and Missouri be
fore ho rtturns to Louisville.
"No , I haven't read the president's mes
sage , " said Mr. Wattorson previous to his
departure , "and what's more I don't think I
shall rend It. Nothing vvlll como of It. Con-
nress will not do anything at nil and If th
republican' ! arc wise they will simply pass
the appropriation bills and go home. With
different political majorities In tli3 two houses
and Mr. Cleveland In the presidency It Is
Idle to hope for any agreement upon any Im
portant measures of legislation.
CONCERNING FINANCIAL MATTERS.
"You say there are more sensational recom
mendations In the message than were pre
dicted and that the chief feature Is the
part urging the retirement of the greenbacks
Well , they ought to bo retired , but I don't
thlnlt they will be. Hack In 1880 I made u
speech In Chicago after the national conven
tion In which I outlined a plan .for financial
legislation that I mill think most advUible. If
there w s n newspaper In the country that
approved It gj failed to say I was a great
fcol I didn't sec It. I said I didn't see any
necessity for one generation that made the
war debt breaking Its back to pay It cff.
I Would have bad It reduced to something
like a thousand millions and funded at n low
rate of Interest for the safe Investment of
the money of small Investors.
"It must bo remembered , too , that our
national banking system rests upon the na
tional debt and that It the national debt Is
wiped out we wipe out the whole national
banking sjstem with It. That Is one of the
best banking s > ( terns In the world and ought
to be maintained. Of court * , there Is no
Immediate clangor threatening It , and there
won't bo If the volume of national debt con
tinues to be Increased as It has been during
the past five years.
What about Secretary Carlisle ? I am sorry
Mr. Cjrllulo ever went Into tits cabinet. I
am sorry lie did so because I am n'rald he
will never return permanently to Kentucky.
Mr. Carlisle has by bis firm adherence to
Prcsld3nt Cleveland antagonized and alien
ated so many of bis Kentucky friends that
ho could with dldlculty regain his former
position In his own state. Mr. Cirllslc will ,
I think , go either to New York or to Chicago
when be retlies from the cabinet , and join
with hlb sons In the practice of law.
DEMOCHACY HOPELESSLY DIVIDED.
"Yes , I did refer In my lecture to the
democratic party In 18CO being then as now
hopelessly divided. That Is the truth. It
Is Impossible for the democratic party to
win In the coming election. U Is true
that the party got together again after 18GO
and It may get together ones more. Dut
ever since the war It has * been nothing but a
loose bundle of warring factions. It has
been utterly Incapable of any afllrmatlve
policy.
"I have almost concluded that I am through
\\lth politics. My Interest In politics Is no\\
twlely personal. I llko to see my friends
gratify their ambitions and shall continue
ready to help them In their struggles. Uut
I no longer lie awake nights worrying about
what la to b come of the party. I am going
to bo abroad during Uio campaign of next
year. I e'lall sail for Europe on April 3 and
remain away a whole year. I shall not stay
In any one place while abroad , though I shall
piobably spend n largo part of my time at
Geneva. I have contracted to writs a popular
one-volume life of Lincoln. I couldn't etay
ut homo and do the work Justice , so I shall
settle In Geneva long enough to write the
story. " _
FAST MAI I * M\V MAKES TIME.
ItcMliIt llroiiKlit Aliotlt li.v
the EiiKliU'frH.
Under the new schedule the Union Pacific
Is handling the fast mall on time these Jajs
and Is experiencing but little difficulty In
making up for lost time occasioned by late
trains on other roids and the obstacles and
Inconveniences that como up nearly every
day In the moving of a big train on swift
scheduletime. .
When the new schedule for the fast mall
went Into effect there was considerable
trouble In getting the train over the road on
anything like schedule time , and some minor
changes had to be made In the running time.
Ihu number of minutes saved were few and
the real change that saved the day for the
fast mill was n changing around of the en
gineers. Some of the knights of the throttle
who had pulled the last mall under the old
schedule fell down when It came to making
the mine time with a much heavier train.
The otllcljls have picked up a couple of
former freight engineers , who have developed
Into top-Hoteliers , and they yank the new
train along on time and think nothing of It
One of the new engineers has been going
out of Omaha for several days from ton to
llfty minutes behind tlmo and has a record
of making the run to Grand Island on time.
There has bren tome trouble In getting the
train out of Omaha on time , but with
the new men on the engines the run to
Ogdcn has been made every day and without
nny difficulty. _

LONDON , Dec. 3. The newspapers tomor
row will very generally contain editorial com
ments upon President Cleveland' * message to
congress. The Graphic tays : "The crudities
end Indiscretions of President Cleveland's
present pronunclamcnto on foreign affairs
might have been evolved ! by the lateMr. .
Illalno In his worst mood. Can anything bo
more absurd than the proposal that the
Schomberg line ( In Venezuela ) should be sub
mitted to arbitration , The reference to Cuba
Is Infinitely mote Injudicious. It Is virtually
an expression of sympathy with filibuster
ing. "
, The Times editorially says : "President
Cleveland has drawn a startling picture of
the difficulties created by the vicious cur
rency system , and wo should be greatly sur
prised If the plans ho suggested are not
warmly welcomed by the business men
throughout the state ? . Dut , flushed by elec
toral victories , It Is probable enough that
republicans will refuse to allow anything
to bo done In the direction Indicated , Mean
while , the remainder of the message , espe
cially the references to foreign relations , will
glvo the Impression that he Is marking time.
Nothing he sajs commits him to a new or
RRgreRSlve foreign policy , whilst It vvlll tax
thb Ingenuity of his opponents to make out
that ! < e 1ms In any way compromised the
dignity o ! been eirelcss of the Interests of
his own country. "
The Post , con * > crratlvo , sa > s : "As regards
Samoa mid Venezuela , the messigo npptnrs
to be flamed on lines which Senator Chandler
might appiove. In regard to Cuba , there
are similar signs of a disposition to con
ciliate the * feelings of popular agitators. Thfsa
things are Incidents of every presidential
campaign and President Cleveland iiever pre
tended to b > superior to them. "
An editorial In the Chronicle rays : "It Is
very doubtful If congress will accept Presi
dent Clevoland'H currency plan. The message
sounds' cautious , but there Is a welcome note
In the direction of free trade. Th reference
to Armenia must be regarded as the definite
adherence of the United States to European
concert. Few honest critics can sav any
thing against President Cleveland's references
to Venezuela , We agree with him that the
boundary dispute Is eminently suited to arbi
tration , and undoubtedly our government will
take the same view. It must be remembered
that this question Is quite distinct from that
of the reparation duo us by Venezuela for
Injuries. With such reparation made , every
liberal In this ? country will acquiesce In Pres
ident PloveUnd's doctrine. Our hands are
full enough without Increasing our burdens
In America , but especially at the ilsk of cre
ating a serious strain between ourselves and
the one great power whose friendship Is more
valuable to us thin all the others put to
gether. "

HoiidholiltTH of the 'Frisco Itond Fill-
n Sciimitlonul Petition.
KANSAS CITY , Dec. 4. A special to the
Journal from Topcka , Kan. , says a sensation
vas caused In the United States circuit
court today by the filing by bondholders of
the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad of
an Intervening petition In the bg ! fore
closure suit under which the Santa Fe prop-
crtlej are to be eold on December 10. The
petitioner ; ) recite that the Santa Fc acquired
a conltullli'g Interest In the TrKco through
fraud , and ask for an order of court setting
aside the contract under which such con
trol was secured and also for an ordei de-
clailng void all bonds issued against the
'Frisco road under this contract.
They also petition that the consolidated
mortgage bonds of the 'Frlcco road , now held
by the Santa Fe recelvera as security for
what they allege to be a fictitious Indebted
ness against the Tiisco road , a d In favor
of the Santa Fe , be delivered up for cancel
lation. Such alleged Indebtedness Is charged
to be the result of fraud upon the part of the
Santa Fe. Claims which they make for rc-
Imbuiseiuent to the 'Frisco road they ask
to have made prior liens upon the Santa Fo
properties.
The eeffct of this position would seem to
bo to tie up the coming pale of the Santa Fc
piopsrtiesi. but olllclals of the latter road
profess to believe that nothing will como of
the petition. They claim that It Is but a
repetition of claims previously made by cer
tain 'Fribco bondholder ; , and profess to be-
llcvo that Judge Foster will refuse to give
tlia.potltlon status In the courto.

EDWARDS WOULD NOT TELL
Flatly Eefnsca to Take His Confreres Into
llis Confidence ,
COST OF HIS BOND WAS A PRIVATE MATTER
Cniiiirllnic-ii Vlnv ultli Rome Suspi

thnt lit- Will Safely
Cnrc for City Money.
There In A good deal of speculation around
the city hall as to the probable action of the
city council on the bond of A. O.
Edwards , city treasurer-elect , It .Is well
understood that the majority of the membcro
of the council are disposed to extend Edwards
all the assistance In their power , but there
are wvernl Indications that there Is a pos
sibility of a division In regard to the bond.
Some ot the republican members declare
that Ednards has practiced a positive de
ception from the first with regard to his
bond. He has alwajs claimed that he had
a gilt edged bond ready to produce as peen
as he was elected , but this claim has been
effectually disproved by hla desperate efforts
nnd final failure to give such a bond.
Then there Is a disposition on the part of
several members to doubt the solidity of
the guarantee bond which Edwards lias
finally put up. It Is well known that one
of the large guarantee companies would
charge at least $8,000 for sucn a bond for two
jeari and no one expects that Edwards lo
putting up nny such amount. At the caucus
In Edwards' private room before the meet
ing Tuesday night , Kdwards was asked point
blank what the bond cost him and with
equal directness he refused to answer. This
secrecy on his part has added to the sus
picions that already existed and at least
two or three of the majority members pos
itively state that they will not vote to ap
prove the bond tonight unless the most satis
factory assurances are produced , of the
character of the bond.
That Edwards Is not likely to hava thing ?
entirely his own way Is Indicated by the
fact that the bond was not approved that
night. Edwards was very anxious to have
the bond approved at once without Investiga
tion and he and his Immediate supporters
labored to this end for nearly two hours In
caucus. But they found It Impossible to
carry their point and the anxiety of Edwards
to have the bond approved without a ref
erence to a committee has operated to In
crease the suspicion with which the- bond
Is regarded. U Is expected that nt leas ?
Taylor and Jacobsen of the finance commit
tee will report In favor of the approval of
the bond in any cay ? , but It is understood
that Kcnnard is disposed to go Into the mat
ter as far as possible , and he Is one of the
members who has declared that they will
not vote for the bond until they are entirely
satisfied. If the committee brings In a unan
imous report there is no question but that
the band will bo approved tonight , but If
Kennard should bring In a minority report
showing that It Is not sound , there is likely
to be a vigorous opposition to Its ap
proval.
There Is another point In connection with
the approval ot the bond which seems to
have been overlooked by Mr. Edwards and
his supporters. The ordinance by which the
existing ordinance was amended to allow the
pity treasurer to glvo a guaranty bond was
passed Tuesday night. It will not become a law
until It has recelvsd the signature of the
major. It is no certainty that the mayor
will not veto the ordinance or that his veto
will not bo sustained. It Is a question
.v'hethcr the council has the power to accept
a guaranty bond until the existing ordinance
Is amended , which will not be < until the
amendatory ordinance has cither been signed
by the mayor or paa sd over his veto In
case the council should approv ? the guaranty
bond and the mayor should veto the
ordinance nnd his veto should be sustained ,
the council would bs In a very embarrassing
predicament.

purse for 3-ycnr-oldi. A Inw prohibited
liool polllnc In the mate , nnd the fiMoclatlon
concluded harness racing could not be profit
ably carried on nnd the race wn declared
off. There was n question ns to the settlement -
ment , some claiming that only entrance
money should bo returned , while others
claimed thnt horses eligible to start should
receive the money.
The first case called wnn thnt of the
Queen's County Agricultural society ncalnst
L. r. 1'ettle of Brooklyn , owner of queen
Hess , to recover money paid to I'cttle nt

race. The first money wns paid to Pottle ,
The board of review nt Iti last session de
cided the case In fa\or of Pottle. Last May
the Qucen'B county ppclcty decided that the
money had been wrongly paid , nnd Unit
Queen llo-M should have been dlMnnced.

name down In t\\o classes , which , If he
drove , he could p.nv for. The horse did not
go to Haverhlll. The owner of the horse
told the board he never gave authority for
the horse to be entered m Ilnverhlll , and
his strict orders weie that the horse should
not be entered without his consent.
Dr. John U. McGloskey of Lancaster , Pn. ,

have selected n battle ground within two
miles of 111 Paso , Tex. , but not on Texas
txill. I will put up $20,000 for the fight. If
there U nny Interference then Corbett und
Fltzslmmons can divide the "takes In equal
shares. I want n Chicago man for referee.
However , In order to get the 'big1 ones
together , I will allow them to name the
referee , nnd In the event that they cannot
agree , then I will name the man.
"The new nitlcles of agreement call for
a fight with flvo-ounce gloves to a tlnlsh ,
$2,500 forfeit money , nnd a purse of $ . ' 0,000.
I will put up J10.000 when the pjp ° rs are
signed , and the other $10,000 within live days
after the dnte Is .agreed upon. I will en
deavor to have the dnte OT or ubout Jan
uary 10
"I have n fine place selected. Hcadiiunr-
teis will be at CI Paso , which IB natuinllv
adapted for reaching the mill. Five trunk
lines meet there. One thousand Mexicans
alone will attend , and I will tfunrnntes no
fizzle. The grounds will be under my con
trol. We Intend to profit by the Dallas
experience and not build any amphitheater.
A number of circuses nre In wlntor quarters
at I l Paso , and we will use an Immense cli-
cus cunvns with a thirteen foot side wall.
The seating ! capacitv will be .26,000. Now ,
this Is golng-to bg a.-final show down. Fltz-
nlmmons is willing to tight. He went out
In a tugboat with me on the Gulf of Mexico
the other day to sign the articles of agree
ment , In order to avoid legal technicalities.
AH that Is now necesbnry for a meeting
Is Cornell's slgnalure. I believe I can get
the men together , nnd If so , will hang up
a second purse for George Lavlgne nnd
Jack Uverhait , and thus give two flstlc
evenls al the same time. "

CHICAGO , Dec. 3 The semi-annual meel-
Ine of the board of review of the American
Trotting association opened thlq morning
at the Auditorium hotel , and will be In
session all of the week and may run over
Into next week. There ure 210 cases on the
docket for hearing. Probably the lending-
case before the board Is that of the charge
of the Lincoln association against John It.
Gentry , Joe Pntchen nnd their ovvneis , J.
G. TON lor nnd J. T. Scott , for violating
nn exhibition contract. Some sensational
disclosures are Intimated In connection with
a number of charges against L II. Davles.
the Chicago horseman. A largo number of
charges preferred against Davles come
from the meeting he gave at the DCS Momej
track last summer.
Much of the mornlnff session of the Trot
ting association was occupied In arguments
In the case In which Joe Pntchen and John
It. Gentry are Involved. The object of the
proceedings Is not to recover damages , but
an endeavor on the part of the Lincoln
association to have the two famous horses
ruled off the turf. Palmer L. Clark , secre
tory of the Lincoln association , made a
motion asking for the expulsion of the two
horses. The grounds upon which he based
hl motion was failure to appear at a spe
cial race for which they were scheduled
during the last meeting of the association.
John G. Taylor , the owner of Joe Pnlc'icn ,
nnd J. F. Scott , owner of John R. Gentry.
were both present , and stated that It had
been impossible for them to have their
horses nt Lincoln nt the time agreed. It
N sJld , however , that the e men did not
offer any reason foi the alleged breach of
faith. _
In a wrestling match nt Galvcston be
tween Ernest Roeber and a local man
named Uernau the latter was seriously In-
Jun-d nfter each had won a full , and the
irr.tch was declared a draw.
