Thia tendency to sympathize with men who are in trouble is very natural, but upon reflection it must be repressed by the commanding sense of public morality. It is true that the stream never rises above its source,and the people of Omaha being the source of power, are primarily responsible for placing a moral and phy- al wreck at the head of the city govern- ment. But at this stage it is entirely out of place to interpose sympathy in behalf of mercenary officials who have corruptly connived with the keepers of low dens and brothels, exposed our homes to rob- bery and pillage by burglars, made our suflicient reason for the allowance of a | thoroughfares unsafe for citizen and wayfarers, and converted this beautiful benefits of the bill who does notcome |city into a paradise for thugs and crooks. within the rule of aga and disability, or [ In the light of the ordeal to which our have been subjected for than fifteen months, wo would ask is not this maudlin sym- people payable only from tho passage of the act [ pathy promature if not entirely out of for and dnring the life of the beneficiary, | place?

I have been bored nearly to death with them, First came the Blaine book agent; then followed the agents of throee different sets of encyclopmdias, each claiming that his was the latest and best. There seems to be a run on encyclopmdias this year. Next the agent of some art work intro- duced himself and showed me a list of rominent men who had subscribed. A ow days after the Chicago convention along came an agent of the life of Blaine and Logan. He, of course, will be fol- lowed by an agent of the life of the democratic nominees. Mr. Butler's agent will also probably soon put in an appear- ance.” * ——*"‘There is n;plno like home, af- tor all,” said an old timer the other day. “Iamled to.make this remark,” con- tinued he, ‘‘by a little incident that recently occurred. Old Peter Hugus, who has lived here for so many years, determined to sell his home here and go west to live with his son. The old home was sold, and the family started on their long trip over the Union Pacific. Two days afterwards I was surprised to see Mr. Hugus on the street. His reappear- ance mystified me, and I inquired of a friend what the matter was. He said that Mr. Hugus immediately after leav- ing Omaha became homesick, and the further west he got the more homesicz he grew. Finally he determined to re- turn to Omaha on the next train, and never leave it again. And back to Omaha he came sure enough,accompanied by his wife and daughter. Although having sold his house, he proposes to purchage another, and pass the remainder of his days in Omaha, to which he has became &0 much atiached.” *, ——I am now “luclted at Colfax, ‘Washington Territory,” said Hon.

He is prntiain’\’g law, and is meeting with great BsucCess. *, ——The littlo broezo between District Attorney Godwin and Lawyer Baldwin in the trial of the Guthrie case is one of the principal topics of town talk. Judge Neville has decided to withhold his pun- ishment for contempt of court until the close of the trial. The epi- sode has revived among the lawyerathe story about Charley Greene’s contempt caso of last term of court. Greene had been held in contempt by Judge Neville for some cause or ‘other—it doesn't mat- ter now what it was—and he imposed a fine of $100 upon Greene, and entered the decree upon.the docket. ‘Mr. Greene, you are fined $100 for contempt of court, and 'the sentence will be at once executed unless you apologise,” said the Judge. “Your Honor, this is a case,” replied Greene, *in which the court holds four aces against a bob-tail flush, I apologise.” The ready wit of Greene rather tickled Judge Neville, who accepted the apology. Such is the story that the lawyers are now telling. The source from which it comes must, how- ever, be tuken into consideration if any one cares to question the veracity of the story.

Some of the Bins and Sensations of Nebraska's State Seat, OUR LINCOLN LETTER, THE RX-ATTORNRY OF STATH, Special Correspondence of the Bee, Lixcon, June 29.—The ex-attorney of the state and present alderman of this city J. R. Webster, is still tearing up things generally in this community. The more his political peccadillos are exposod the more daring he becomes. Not satis- fied with endeavoring to mulch the coun. ty to the extent of several thousand dol- lars for services never rendered, he now comes forward and wants to manip- ulate the £00,000 water works we are to have in Lincoln. Should this body poli- tic allow J. R. W. to have the manage- ment of anything connected with shin- ing gilders or copper coins it ought to be laced in those regions where they say a lutonian personage has a slight distaste for holy water. Only last night this man Webster, RUFUS THE REFUNDER, attempted another of his mean tricks. strong saline water comes from. Well, Mr. Imhoff, of the Commercial, who is always at the head of enterprises for the benefit of Lincoln, desired to get an ad- rooms. Accordingly he made an agrea- ment with the city to lay certaih'pipes from the well, and at the same time arrange culverts, which would be of necessary benefit to the corporation. In constderation of a stipulated amount, and the value of the PIPE-LAYING MR. IMHOFI would do for public purposes the per- mission wasgranted. There it was that ‘Webster saw a chance to tap the pipes and the pockets of the commnnity. = He has a fine block on Eleventh street some four or five blocks away from the arte- sian well, and bath rooms are to be es- tablished there soon, Consequently on Friday night, the execution day of the week, he attempted to execute a nice little gamo on the public. He set men to work to use Imhof's operations tor his own benefit, and with lujustice to the city and the aforesaid proprietor of the Commercial, he endeavors to got the sa- line stream to flow into his block with but slight cost. Fortunately parties in interest were aroused in time, and Web- ster was STOPPED IN HIS LIQUID LARCENY. It cost him 860 to continue the work. How the dear good taxpayers here would like to see this Webster bag and baggage standing on a through-going train for Alaska this very moment. It would be money in the city’s pocket to exile and pension him at the same time. How con- soling it would be to hear his farewell speech with a poetical wind-up: The end has come, the farewell must be spoken: From your dear and fav'rite city 1 muse art. But nevr, nover shall the spell bo brokens Its mémory I take, and leave my heart, ANTI-WEA\ ER, Since the congressional committeo held its session here last week and Pear- man, of Otoe, and Fred Nye's proxy ““Juniper John,” ate political apples to- gether the anti-Weaver sentiment has be- come very strong. It seems pretty cer- tain that Wheedon, of this city, is going to knock the nomination persimmons al- though there are some of the knowing ones who think General Cowin, of your city, can get the honor of congressional nomination if he desires. I think the General remembers the treachery of pre- tended friends in the last senatorial fight, to jump too hastily at flattering conclu- sions. His real adherents desire him kept for a more favorable opportunity and a higher place. OTHER CANDIDATES, Captain Humphrey, of Pawnee, is also looming up as a strong man in the coming convention. Some talk of ex Senator Paddock, and the solid men hereabouts openly express the opinion that Algernon Sidney ought to have the nomination if he doserves it, for ho would be credit to to the district and the state as he has been heretofore. At any rate the polit- ical thread of Weaver is ingloriously eon- tangled. The warp and warfare busted, and he may as well hie himself to polit- cal coventry. Of course, the railroads aro sharpening up their political axes, and they have already determined to. CARVE VALENTINE'S NAME on the gubernatorial chair, the lachry- mose appcals of Davis to the contrary notwithstanding. Captain Phillips, of the B. & M, land department, is making himself too ‘‘frequent” altogether in poli- tics here now. He has the primaries all marked out as minutely as the different sections of railroad land he has under coutrol. He is endeavoring to have times as he desires, The consequence is mittee of which he is chairman, are watched pretty closely, Courtnay is ex- ceedingly popular here now because he has been doing fine work in exposing the Webster frauds and such like depletious You who have ever been in Lincoln know the grand artesian well ‘of the [ post office building, where the Buper-sea ditional flow of this water for his bath- [ of the public pocket. If he keeps cn he will WEAR POLITICAL DIAMONDS, but tke staunch republicans here desire him to show some back bone in this primary business and give Captain Phil- lipsa cold shoulder. Let Courtnay show the B, & M. land man that there is a cloud on his title to the possession of the political machinery of Lancaster county and the voters thereof will say ‘“‘amen,” Harrison the middle aged *‘boy preach- er,” is running a successful revival here now. They say he will have the whole community before the week is over and he ought to on a salary of 850 per night. Almost any good talker would do the work in a very acceptable manner on the eame terms. If he succeeds in getting J. R, Webster to trim his lamps, and cease money changing in the municipal temple and prepare his harp for honest harmonic strains then, Lincoln can afford to give Harrison an appropriation. SCANDAL, I am happy to say that the frequenters of scandal lane have been less numerous of late in the city than heretofore—Tur Ber circulates too largely. There are soveral that will soon have to be attended to if the judicial tribunal is cognizant of its own personality, which it thinks it is. The result of the revival has to be watch- ed, however, and if the pulpit fails in its work of reformation then the press will have to take a hand in, There are too ¢ Leat, many chances at present for Lot's wife to gaze on Salt Oreek in this vicinity for the general morality of the comuunity, but good time coming.
