Tt may not be amies toremind these political wisacres that during the culminating conflict with a corrupt and powerful faction, the bungling effor*s of the fire-in-the-rear crew to obstruet overy rationsl campaigu scheme did not prevent us from achieving a final victory. Then, 8s now, these would-be leaders huve developed the most talent in dis- couraging their friends and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. THE Omaba Democracy are boroughly Cemoralized by the hopelessness of their cause. Toeir leaders admit that their ticket was defeated on the day It was nomin- ated, and they now nropose to Taake s last desperate effort to eave Chris, Hartman by trading everybody on their ticket oft for him. Now we hope Republicans will not be gulled into eueh trafic. Mr. Jacobs is & man of unblemished reputation, thoroughly competent for the posi- tlon of Treasurer. He would have been Treasurer of Omsaha to-day had be not been cheated out of that office two years ago by disreputable treachery and trickery of oertain pretended Republieans who were bought up just before the election by his competitor. Oun this score nlone, 1f for no other reason, Mr. Jacobs is entitled to the support not only of every Republican, but of every otber honest citizen. ONE of the first steps of Becretary Evarts toward inaugurating geouine civil service reform in the diplo- matic service should be the removal of Colonel John C. Myers from the Consul Generalship of Chins. Al- though Colonel Myers hails from Nebraska, we have already on a pre. ‘Vious occasion been forced to admit that his appointment to the position he now occupies was extremely ill advised. Colonel Myers is mentaily and morally unfit for the high posi- tion to which he was elevated by the potent influence of Premdent Grant’s kitchen cabluet, 1tisa no- torious fact, known to everybody in this section that Colonel Myers during the past few years has been addicted to the excessive and babitasl uee of liquors, and many of his beet friends would, if cited before & jury, be compelled to pro- nounce him a oross between & mon- omanisc and & Junatic. It is not eurprising that his conduct has scan- ‘dahsed the publioservice and disgrac- edthe government in the eyes of the diplomatic representatives of other nations who have come in contsct with him.

THE LOUISIANA COMMISSION. ‘With a view of achieving a pa- cific solution of the double-headed [ ¢vbernatorial muddle in Louimana, | 11:> President has organized a com- n:'ssion of five eminent citizens, who, after thorough personal In- q iry, are to devise a plan for ex- trioating Louisiana from her pres- | ey political entanglement. The‘ make-up of thls commission wer- | rants the'belief that thefr mission | will prove a success. General Harlan Is the representa- tive of the mative Republican ele. | ment of Kentucky. He isa man of uncompromueing loyalty to his | country and party, who knows that #0 long as the color line of politice oontinues, the South will remain “golid.” General Hawley, of Conneotiout, is & fearless and independent Re- publican, who framed the platform upon which tiov. Hayes was elected to the Presidency. Judge Lawrence, of Illinois. and Mr. Wayne MoVelgh, of Pennsyl- ‘vanis, are conservative Republicans whose past political experience 18 an assurance of their admirable adap- tabillty tor the mission on which | they are engaged, Ex-Governer Brown, of Tennes- seeis 8 Democrat of very conserva- tive tendencies, and thoroughly un- derstands the temper of the Southern people. His influ- ence with the followers of Nicholls will doubtless contribute much toward an amicable agree- ment of the present complication. The first effort of this commission will be'to fird a starting point in the complicated threads of the mud- dle. Under the constitution of Lou- isiana the legislature is the initial power that creates the State gov- ernment. There are now two sep- arate legislatures in that Btate. Each contains & number of Nen- ators who were elected In 1874, Each also contalns a pumber of Representatives whose 1ight to seats is undisputed. The eflorts of the commission will be to secure mu. tual concessions from rival Gov- ernors to organize & legal neucleus for a legislature from among the members whose right to seats is con. oceded by both parties. This organ- iaation is to be further perfected by the admission of a sufficient num. ber of mewbers representing both } claimants, to constitute a legal quorum. To this body will be sub- mitted the returns of the election for Governor and State officers, aud these returns will be ocanvassed by that body as required by law, and the election of Governor and State ofiloers will then be deolared. The President proposes to recognize this Legislature, and the Governor and Btate offiners declared elected by it, and to immediately withdraw the troops, and leave that Govern- ment In possession of the Btate. This will be an organization in strict conformity with the State Constitu- tion and laws. It only remains to be seen whether the rival Gover nore and rival Legislatures of Louls- isua will acoede to this proposed scheme of arbitration. Under the Constitution of Lousians, the Leg- islature constitutes the Btate Board of canvassers for Gov- ernor and other Htate officers Both existing legiclatures have undertaken to decide and declare who bas been elected Governor, but it 18 self-evident that both of thece bodies are made up largely by bogu members wito are not entitled to seats, Should the commission suc- >eed 1n consolidsting the legally sicoted members into one legisla 1ute, the whole problem will have been eofved. ——— SPARKS FROM INGERSOLL. His Views of Civil Service Reform. You have heard a great deal about il service reform. I do not be- lieve iu carrying that to the extent that you wen'’t allow an officer to resign. Idonot believe that that principle should be insisted upon to that degree that there would be only two ways left to get out of office— death or suiclde. I beheve, other things bemng equal, any party hav- ing any office within its gift wili give that office to the man who really belleves fn the principles of that party and who has worked to give those prineiples ultimate victo- ry. Tbat is buman nature. The man that plows, the man thateows, and the man that cultivates ought t0 be the man that reaps. But we have in this country & multitude of little placee, a multi- tude of clerkships in Washmgton; and the question is whether, on the inecoming of the new administra- tion, these men shall be all turned out. In the first place, they are on starvation _salaries, just barely enough to keep soul and body to- gether, and respiotability on the outeide; and If there iz & young man in this nudience, { b-g of him, “Never take a clerkship in the city of Washington.” Don’t you do it ! Never do you put yourself where you have to duck your head and take off your bat toeverybody else. Don’t you do it. Dom’t put your hap- piness—don’t put your fortune—in the power of another man’s breath ! Don't you do_1t! You never will have any manhood ; you pever will haveany vertebre; you never will bave any real, square spurk; you cannot have it, aud you wihil lose confidence, and you will begin to think 1f you cannot have a regular payment each month of $94 75, that you caunot possibly make a living in this world. It will take all the pluck out of you. You will have to live 80 pinched, 8o narrow, and 8o contracted that you will have to smoke a pipe all the week with the expectation of a five-cent cigar on Sunday. I beg of you not to dis- count your future; 1 beg of every young man have the courage totak - what comes, let it be feast or let - be famine, but don’t sell the gif. um fortune may have for you for a stty salary ot $60, or §70, or $100 pn! mnnlh Don’t doit. Go west! T would rather have forty acres of 1and and a log house with one room, yes, and the -woman I love, and ome lattice work over the window, so that the sunlight would fall checkered on the baby in the cradle, and s few hollyhocks st the corner of the house ; I would rather bave thst, and a nice path leading down to the epring, where I could go and besr the water g; I would rather live tbere and die there than be a clerk of any government on earth. Now, all T mean by this civii service reform is, that if any poor devil has been so unfortunate a8 ln get into that place, leave him thera rather thao to destroy some- Dody clse every year.

Greenish blue is the correct thing in kud gloves. Rinbon bows are tade equaielike the Maltese crose. Dark winter colors will be worn agzin this summer. Victoria refuses to permnit high- necked dresses to be worn nt court. Deep pink kid gloves are fashion- able—the pink of perfection, as It were. The newest polonaises are so long a8 to show only & mere line of the lower skirt. The novelty in ladies’ summer gloves will be white lace mits that reach fo the elbow. Young women should set good ex- amples, for the young men &re al- ways following them. Round hats have narrower brims atid are less pronounced 1n shape than those of 1ast season. Cuat steel ornaments, such s8 anchors and crosses, are iargely used to brighten sombre costumes. Whiie linen shades edged with & row of Bmyrna lace are the newest designe for window (rimmings.

A Parteian knick-knack termed “Cupid’s market,” and In favor for the eo'illion, deserves mention. It comprises u pair of vardboard scales, covered with gilt paper, which are hupg over two backets, one con- talning small hearts for ladies and the other somewhat larger ones for centlemen. [he couple who con- duct the cotillion distribute these to the dancers. Each couple, after hav ing waltzed once around the eircle, place his or her particalar hesrt i the scales; if they do not weigh ex- actly the same amount the pair are separated. and the lady has to stand up in- thej centre until a gentle- man appears whose heart has the same intrinsic value in point of ounces. The “Foire aux Legumes,” or vegetable fair, is a similar figure; in this are heaps of cardboard car- rots, turnips, radishes, &o., in place of hearts, which, scattered among the company, must discover their corresponding vegetable during the danoce. — mmnmu.' POINTS. The growing popuhrlty of cigar- ettes among Frenchmen is shown by the statistics recently publishe by the government. in 1889, 11 tons were sold in France; in 1876, 600 tons.

A starving Chinaman, who was taken into the Cincinnati hospital a l few days ago for resuscitation, at- tributed his woeful plight to the fact | that he had sterted a laundry in | Loulsville. He sums up his exper- | | fence in a single line: “Kentuckeo | | —two weekee——one ehirtee.’—[Ex- | clange. The Philadelphla style o adver- | tising Isas follows: “A refined gen- | tlemian, who does not use tobacco | in any form, but does have family prayersand vocal blessings at table, | with a genteel wife (none others in | the family), can have five or six roome, partly furnished; every con- | venfence, under.dratuage, water on | each floor, and give table board to two ladiesfor rent; our superior col ored house girl can be retained, if | | wanted. “Now, then, state your cass,” said | a Detroit lawyer the otuer day, as he put the fivelolisr bill awsy 1n his vest pocket. “Well,” began his client, “sup- | pose the man living next dour' my line, cowing within two feet o my hovis “He can’t do it, sir—can’t do | anything of the kind,” replied the lawyer. “But I want to put my barn right up sgainst his line,” remarked the | client '‘Oh—ab—yes, T see. Well, sir, go right ahead and put your barn there. All the law in the case is on | your side.” | THE GOLD FIELDS. | The Big Horn Country Looming Up An Fxpedition to Start in April. An Outfitting Point Within 150 Miles. Hest Route, &o.. &e. On to the Big Horn, JTnasmuch as the ery of prospect- ors is, “On to the Big Horn,” it is of vital importance to every per- ton who contemplates visiting the Gold Fields to know the best route to take. The “Big Horn Country™ has long «uce been regarded as the 1and of promise for gold seekers; hence nothing ueed be said now of tbe country, but what Is of special imporiance to eyery one is the best route, There are Thousands of Men throughout the states and terntories who have their most sanguine hopes fixed on the sig Horn, hence the 1mpoitance of the beat route. This would neceeearily include safety, directuess and celerity. The routs possessing theze advantages must, in the nature of things, be the fa- vorite, us speed and safety are the o characteristics of be age, and ¢ ery prudent man will consider these facts, There are several routes advocated by which this country can be reached, but the facts show conclusively that the most de- eirable and practicsl route is from » Carbon, County, Wye, Ter. Cheyenne s distant over 400 miles, Green river is 230 miles and Evanston over 300 miles. The route from any of these points must be tor a great portion of the way over an unknown ocountry, while from Rawlins the distance is not over 150 miles, and that over a road that is known and has a beautiful supply of wood, water apd grass. ‘Uhere is now a regular mail service on this route 45 milesout from Rawlins to- wit: to the Terrls and seminole min- ing dustricts where there are three mines now being worked by large | A companies. Rixty miles out the road crosses the Bweetwater river by a good wagon bridge, this Is the only stieam of importance or size on the route. Sixty-five milea out the road passed the famous ‘Sola Lakes;" from there it is sixty miles totho head of Puwder riveraod from that to The Big Ho: 18 26 miles. An expedition of from 200 to 300 miners and prospectors wili Jeave Rawlins for the Big Horn country between the first and tenth days of April, 1877, headed by the oldest miners and wmountaineers in the West. It Is desired by those golng to increase their number as greatly as possible, in order to se- cure safety and success in prospect ing_ All who contemplate going | to the gold flelds ehould arrange and go with this expedition. The expedition will, when ready to start, select thelr ieaders from among their owp number, and can thus select Men Who Know the Country. All persons should go prepared to outfljtbemselves witha saddie horse pack horse and prospector’s outfit. There are large stores at Rawlins, where eversthing required for 8 complete outfit can be bought cheap- er than the parties oould take the goods there. The merchants have to furnizh this expedition cost of them laid down at Rawlins. The committee have secured the | cor. Tenth and Farnbam s want to put & barn right up against | © agreed 3 with their provisions at the actual to Rawhas: Furst cls second-clase $32, emigrant $25. Horses are Plenty, |and can be bought at from $30 to $75. Ang person desiting faforma- tion will receive & prompt &nzwer by writing to any of the following committee: Dr. F. M. Bmith,P.J.
