Lot her roll, Ir was the dark horse that got away with the baggage in the New York re- publican conventlon, Tur question now is whether the ticket nomlnated by the New York republicans will catch the mugwump: GeN. OArR, who was considered the leading candldate for the New York re- publican gubernatorlal nomination, was sldetracked and glven second place on the tleket. Tur biggest clrous of the season will ba glven at St. Joe commencing on Fel- day, and contlnulng two weeks. It will ba condusted by Rev. Sam Jones, for whom a tabernacle with a seating capacity of 10,000 has been erected. The St. Josephiter expect that the entira state of Missourl will be converted, It cer- talnly needs conversion, WirH a uniform system of sidewalks in the business center Omaha would, in connectlon with her paved streets, pre- sent a beautiful appearance. There is altogether too much delay in this much needed improvement. There s no good reason why 1t should not be immediately pushed, as the property owners, and not the clty, will have to bear the expensa. WurLe Rev. Sam. Jonea was conduct- ing a revival at his home In Georgla on Saaday last his stable was blown up with dynamite. Some people say that it was done by the llquor men whom Samuel hal assalled, but they bave evidently forgotten that the evangelist recently #ald he wouldn't wipe his boots on a base ball player. In our oplnifon the fiager of susplclon should be polnted towards the base ballist. THE proprietors of the Minneapolls Tribune, having purchased the evening Journal and also the United Press fran- chise, have now a monopoly of the news" paper business In thatcity. Minneapolls may now be said to possess but one daily newspaper with two editions, the morn. ing Zribune and the evening Journal. These ed'tions must be elther inde- p ndent in politics, or else one must be republican and the other democratic, In order to glve both parties a fair show. i OanpIpaTES for office should carefally look over thelr records and see If it is ssfe to ask the people to support Athem, It Is better for office-seekers to Investigate thelr records before nomina- tlon than it s to have some one else make an investigation after nomination. ‘This gentle hint is threwn out In view of the fact that the election is not far off, and among the numerocus aspirants for office are some whose records will not bear close inspection, Such men should remain in the back-grouad, as the pecple will not eupport them 1f they are nomi- nated. So many rascals have lately been turned tato office that the postoffice de- parimont has been compelled to invent some method of keeping the processlon outslde the gates until the appolntees hsve submitted to an examinatlon of thelr records, According toa Washing- ton dispat:h the plan adpted is to put a'l complalnts into yellow tickets or en- v.lopes, and else to enter in a book— necoesarlly & large one—all complaints and charges comling from epecial agents, thlrd amsletant postmaster-general, or superintendent of the money-orderoffice. This black list will no doubt bs fre- <quently consulted. Tae St. Paul Pioneer Press publishes what purports to be a carefal and ex: baustive stady of the wheat-ralslng in- dustry in India. The total scresge for the present season s put at 27,600,000, an Inoresse of 111,000 acres over last year, In 1884 the total yield was nearly 260,000,000 bushels, and as other cereals form the stapls of consumption in that country, a larga portlon of thls product was sent to forelgn markets, The lmpor- tance of these facts to Amsrican wheat growers is very great, particularly as it Is olsimed that the cost [of producing a bushel of wheat on the small farms of the northwest {s from 50 to 100 per cent. more than lo Indfa. In commen'ing on these statements the New York Commer. cial Bulletin sensibly remarks: *‘There 11 nothing new in the fact that that por- tlon of Asla fs making rapld progress In this respec’, but these statoments, from & sosmingly well-lnformed source, show that the progress is much more rapld than s gererally suppozed.

Ax artlole recutly appeared in the southern magszine Dixzie, purporting to have been written by Samuel J. Randall and glving his vies 8 on the tarlff ques. tlon, The article made him exprees views contrary to what was belleved to pe his honest sentiments, and such a oomplete flop natarally excited much com- ment and wonder. Samuel, however, denles most emphatically that he has been gullty of any such acrobatic per- formance. Hesays he never wrote tho article In question, but he does admlt that hs sent to the editors of Dizie s copy of one of hls speeches with piges turned down and pasiges marked, in re- sponse to thelr Invitation to express his vlews on the tarift. The Diwie editors thereupon prepared an article from the speech by melecting passages here and badly mixing them While Boston Advertiser, with no indicatlons that 1t was constructed In such & manner, was & most amazing plece of literary for- aglng, Mr. Randall can hardly complain that It does not express his views—an- less he has changed them, in which case he ought to prepara a revised edition cf his spaech to explaln the changes. probabllity is that Mr. Randall s as strong a protectionlst as ever. The A SHINING LIGHT. When a few months ago one Jusn Boyle suddenly appeared in Washington In the role of arepresentative boss of the Nebraeska democracy the people of this state naturally inquired who the gentle- man was, as he had, prior to his advent at the national capital, been but lttle known cutslde of the city limits of Kear- ney. Now the name of J. E. Bertrand 1a flashed scroes the horizon of democratic politics In Nebraska, and, as In the case of Boyle, the people are asking “Who Is he?” He appears in the clty directory of Omaha as a lawyer, and he Is evl- dentty one of the kids of Nebras- ka democracy. A dispatch from Washington Informs the public that he has visited the various departments of the government and finds the admin Istration working smoothly. This assur— ance will certalnly be comforting to the democrats of Nebraeka and of the coun- try at large. Mr. Bertrand aleo dis- cusees the chances of the various Ne- braska candidates for federal offices with a femiliarity and freshness that indicate ances hovtile measurss whenever they can possibly be avoided. There are now 358 cotton millsin the south, with 1,467,607 spindles and 27,004 _loome, againet 181 milla, 718,89 apindles and 15, looms in 1880, 'The increass has besn mille, 746 708 spindles and 11,782 looms, In New York the plambers and bricklayers are very tuay, T he carpenters have been only artialiy employed, but are now on fall time, he clothit g cutters are better employed than they have been for mouths, Roofers and gas- fisters are busy st $3 50 per day. All the fur- niture trades ace buay. The twoenty acres of ponderons machinery in the Oleveland rolliog mill still remain idle, Hundreds of exhausted men have gone elve- where, aud the managers are still confident of being able to overc ime the strikers, The sym- pathy for the strikers is extended because of their extremo poverty. The small shop manufacturers are meetin with quite_an limproving demand from i uarters, Boilers and engines are wanted _vast amount of repsiring is being done. Higher pricea aro comiog, The smaller in- dustriea are making fair headway, but the Iarger ones are not yet out of the woods. The prospects among the textile industries are for a stesdy demand throughout the win- ter fo kinde of goods because of the ex- haustion of supplios in retailers’ hands. The leading manufacturers of cotton and woolen gooda express more confidence in the pr. bable permane: cy of prices and demand than they have expreased for mnths. — HAWKEYE HAPPENINGS, present at the convention In Richmond and ruggested the cavalry idea, but as comparad with Hampton's imposlog dem- onstrations, the Virginla exhlbiilons are desoribed ‘*as plgmy In poiat of nambers and totally lacking ia the psraphernalia and qualitles which made the Bouth Oarolinians Impressive and effsctive.” Tue oouveil by an almost unanimous vote has at lust adopted the preliminary plans for the olty hall as presented by Architecs Myers. The report of the com- mittee, wh'ch appears elsewhere, apeaks for itself. The commiitee hed Invited home architeots to compete 1f they de- slred, but no response was recslved from any arohitcot of established reputation that would have jastified farther delay. No Omaha architect can therefore com- plaln that he has been locked out from competiti n, Now that the plans are adopted, the balldlng of an elegant, commodious and fire-proof olty hsll Is an assured fact. Mavor Bovp has sppolated Hon, T. O, Brunuer as a membor of the board of publlo works. As a succassor to Mr. Grsy, Mr. Brunuer's selection will be satisfactory. He was not chosen as a representative workingman, nor does he make any pretense ln that direction, He Is allve, energotlo business man, identl- fiod with the progress of this olty. L'ke Mc.

The delsy in the pub- licatlon of the book has brought about some serlous complications, which may conslderably reduce the sum which it was expected ths te would derlve from the work.
