That will be about the proportion all over the country —thirty seven democrats to every oflice, Either tho number of oflices will have to be increased or the army of hungry democratic place-hunters will have to be diminished. A interesting decision has just been rendered by the Now York supreme court, with regard to the rights and lia- bilities of married women, and husbands who are supported by thelr wives. First, A married woman doing business ou her own account may. employ her hus- band at o stated salary. Second, The husband cannct enforco the payment of his salary by an action against his wife. Third, The husband may assign his claim, and the assignee may sue the wife Fourth, A creditor of the husband inay maintsin legal " proceedings against the wife to get poseession of any unpaid walary due him.

They know that the headlines of the telograph colamns are written between the hours of two and four in the morning, long after the editor has retired, and the headlines of their own paper during tho past two weeks have been the most con- spicuous examples of inconsistency and contrast with regard to the contents of the dispatches. ~When theso cowardly whelps penned that villainous diatribe against the editor of Tur Bee they knew that they wero malivning him and imposing on the public, This man Sweet, who ran away from Omaha not many years ago without paying tho poor printers who worked for him, and deadhending his creditors gencrally, is a sweet specimen to preach decency, morality and loyalty. The wretched little sniveler who desorted the repub- lican party in Its struggle in 1872, when the country was imperilled by a com- btnation botween renegade republicans and confederate democrats, is a fine ex ponent of loyalty and fidelity to repub lican principles. Talk about “hcll born instincts of de. pravity!” Talk of “‘dofamers of the decj est, darkest dyc!” Who has been more dopraved among republicans in Nebraska than Fred Nye, the petty lick-spittle of Tom Kimball, who went to Kearney a fow yonrs ago to destroy a newspaper by foreclosing a mortgage, because it would not desert its honest principles and suc- cumb to tho rule of the railroad bosses! Who has done more to disrupt tke repub- lican party and drive the decant ropubli cans, who dared to call their soul their own, into revelt, than the miserable mercenaries and political banditti who congregate around the Omaha Republi- can, and who now are gnashing their teoth because the spoils and plunder have passed from their control. Talk aboat blackmailing sheota! Why, the [liv. publican vias acquired by blackmail by the present owners. It was kopt up by blackmail for years, and not only blackmail but the procoeds of sur veyiug frauds, star-route frauds, smug gling, and downright swindling. To-day the concern procures itsadvertising under falso pretenses that would sond any other trades-peoplo to the penitentiary, 1t seems that these scoundrels do not know when they are well troated, but if they are bound to re-open the old wounds and renow the villasinous warfare by which they have endeavored to Willow Springs distillery;Joe Tehon, su- pervisor of internal revenue; Jim Neligh, United States marshal; Jack Galligun, custodian of the custom house; Tom Ca- soy, eurveyor general. The land offices and postal clerkships will all be distrib- uted in due season to the small potatoes, including the torchbesrers. Dr, Miller, of course, will take nothing less than a cabinet poaition. —— T recent fires in Omaha have shown not only the utter inefficlency of the de partment in the matter of numbers, but nave also demonstrated the almost abso- lute need of a fire alarm telograph, The only way now of giving an alarm is through the A.

It is because just euch political pirates, desperadocs and imbeci'es havo charge of a pretendod republican newspaper that the republi- can party in Nebraska must sufier and cannot hormonize, 8o far as Mr. Blaine s concerned we have given him loyal support and in de- feat as in victory we regard him as one of the most brilliaut leaders that the re- publican party has ever produced, The heaalines which appeared over his spoech in the Bei: are not in accord with the sentiments entertained and often expressed by us. At the same time we must say that we do not regard brag, bluster and fustian as essential to repub- can ascendancy.

This is intended as no humorous interrogatory for the purpose of poking fun at the bourbons, but it is a serious question. In the first place, lot us look to the moonshiners of the south and eee what their prospects are and what they will expect under democratic rule, which canniot be otherwise than friendly to this numerous and powerfal fraternity of the sunny south, They will undoubtedly inaist that the custom house officers, who are mostly republicans, and who are maintained in their places by appoint went from the internal revenue dopsrt- ment shall be romoved, and friendly democrats substituted, Of all the fed- eral oflicials in the routh the most hated are those engaged in hunting out crooked whisky stills, Formerly thero wero thousands upon thousands of these atills, scattered all through North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Ken- tucky. Almost overy other planter mado his own corn-juice. Vast quantities of illicit liquor were manufactured in the south, not only for thome consumption, but also for trading purposes, but by a strict enforcement of the revenue laws most of the crooked stills have been hunted out and destroyed, and many of tho moonshiners have been punished. Tho fact that the government has sus- tained the courts in the punishment of the maonshiners has had a great effect in the south, When the democrats come into the ex ercise of power it is but natural that the rovenue ollicers in the south will be se- locted from the known friends of the southern states and particvlarly from the friends of the southern congressman, who in turn will have u strong following amoug the moonshiners., The resutt will | be a very slack enforcement of the reve nue lawe, and littlo and big whisky stills will spring up every. Whisky wiil once wore be noarly as plenty and almost as irce as water. 'The bourbon factories in Kontucky will bo ilablo to run through vast quantities of untaxed aleohol in every shape. The effoct upon the taxed distillers of the north will be disastrous. Being unable to compete with wholesale crooked disullation, they will either have to follow guit or shut up their catab- lishments. Such was the condition of affairs when the Joyces, the McDonalds, and other noted whisky crooks were brokenup during the second torm of P'resi- dent Girant, when it was impossible for an honest distiller to compete with them. The future of whisky is, so far ss we can soe, to ho as we have outlined it above, when the democracy is fairly in the saddle, THE FATED DE YOUNGS. The attempted assassination of M. H. De Young, proprietor of the San Fran- o Chranicle, by Adolph Spreckles, was & most cowardly act. Young Sproc- klos, son of Claus Spreckles, the sugar monopolist, had taken offense at an article in the Chronicle of last Sunday morning concerning the affairs of the Hawaiian Commorcial sugar company, and throo days afterwards he finally came to the conclusion that Mr, De Young deserved death. Thereupon he procceded to as- sume the duties of exec tioner by de. Wherately entering the businees oflice of Yronicle and emptying bis revolyer at the proprietor, He would have killed Da Young hal he not beén interfered with.

There appeara to be almost unanimity of feeling among southern democrats as to the two positions thelr section will ask for. They all agree that the attorney seneral and postmuster general can be of more value to their scction of country than any other places the president couid bestow. They say that the ap- pointecs gonerally of tho republican varty, under the department of justice, have run their oflices for what they could make, and that through this department the southern people have been very much oppressed. It is asserted that United States marshals have trumped up cases of flimsy evidence, and have drag, men under arrest many miles in order to in- creaso thoir fees. A prominent southern democrat, an ex-senator, put the case thus to aStar roporter: ‘*\Vo need a man at the head of the department of justice who understands our section of country and our people; a man who will correct alf the abuses that have existed under the department, but who at the same time will enforce the laws. Now a southern man as attorney general, knowing our people, would select men of honor, firm- ness and ability for attorneys and mac- shals, ote , who would enforce the laws firmly, but with integrity and justice. The south needs the attorney general, and we ought to have the postmaster- general. We need a man at the head of the department whose intimate know- fedyo of the south will enablo him to se- loct good men for postmastors, and in of the stal ser- deed, for all branch. vice. The south ought to Dbe eatistied with these two places, and I have no idea that more will be asked.” The remarks of this ex-senator have been given be- cause they express the sentiment that seems to plainly provail among the dem- ocrats of this section Southern democrata say they 1o not caro for the state department, and think that should be filled by a northern man. ‘I'hey also agreo that the treasuy deparrt ment should be controlled by the north. Thoy eay it would be so palpably foolish Jor the south to aslk for eithor the war or navy departments; that nobody of that section would bs guilty fof such a th and they admit the business of the inte- rior department is of wmore consequence to the north than the south, and that that department should have a northern head, | —— The Meat Manufacture, Chieago Tribune, The natlonal convention held in this city last week by the cattle breeders of the United States and the convention of ranchmen now in session in St. Leuis have given the public a new idea of the vast lmportance of the production of meat in this country, In his address before the Chicago convention Dr, Lor- ing gavo some figures which had all the interest of news to most of us. Meat, he showed, was the most important of all tho products of the country—greater than corn, or wheat,or hay, dairy pre. ducts or cotton. Meat then, ts King The value of the meat, hides, and other proceeds of animals slaughtered in this ocuntry in 1880 was nov less than §300,- 000,000. West of the Missiesippi alone there are 21,945,000 cattle, and their es- timated value 50,871, The ex- tent of the ranch interost is evident from the attendance of 1,000 delegates at the convention in St, Louis. The cattle interest represents in the United States at large at investment of §1,106,7156.703 in apimals alone. When to this is added the value of its lands, buildings, and equipment, ard o3 top of that sre piled the values in the dependent in- dustries from refrigerator cars and pack- ing-houses to butcher-shops, the total will easily reach figures greater than those which can be aggrecated by avy other intorest, The modern tendency (> combination and the use of the corporation for the management of vast affsivs are more evi- dent in the produc'ion of meat than in any other Interest directly connected with thesoil. I'ne two great conventions of of which we speak are evideuces of thia. The rapid trausfer of the ranches of the west to the hands of great companies is ancther proof of this movemeut. The formation of cattlo-breeders’ or cattle growers' associations in every western state and territory is another.
