Trere seens to be a great deal of con fusion and misunderstanding about the position in which (he country is left by the death of Vice President Hendricks The senate of the United States is always organized. Unlike the house whose offices become vacunt with the deuth of each congress, the oflicors of the senate and its committees are perpetiated from one session to the other until new oflicers are elected and committees reorganized Bonator Bdmunds is still president pro tempore of the scnate. As will be scen by our special dispatehes he proposes to eall the senuto to order and to excraise all the functions of presiden- pro tem when the senate convenes in reg- alar session, The fact that Mr. Edmuads tendered his resignation Jast winter, and that nosuccessor was appointed, does not anecessarily vacate the oflice. Until a anccessor i8 duly elected by the senate Mr. Edmunds is its presiding ofticer in the absence of the vice president. This 8 the view tnken by Mr. Edmunds him- molf, It Is rational and in conformity wvith the principle that a resignation of an executive officer does not take effect auntil it has been acted upon by the elee- tion of a successor e The law and order league, which is being organized in Omal: not in tended for the proper inforcoment of oriminal lawsalone, but for other laws that are openly violated, For instance, itwill gome within the provinee of the leagu to soe that some regard is paid to the ety ordinances and the orders of the city souncil.

As the event proved, of the | at mass of liberal republicans wore than ten per cent returned to their ol party allgiance. The mugwimp de feotion of two years ago in New York | was thought to be onlya which would soon heal. My feat @ year later, and the eleetion of demoer nor u few weeks proved the contrary. The political gal seldom returns, no mu tempting the promised fatted « departure is generaly for It is attended with the abusoe of his old associntes, ditions are not for; new party bed remains as a vule home until another great issne another secession. The auti-monopoly revolt in N which was cansed by the bossism of rail way polities, by the failure of the repub lican party to enact laws to protsct the people iinst railroad extortion, by dis honest leadership which made the party subservient to the dictates of the corpor- ation man rs, has worked the same re sult. The canvass of the last clection shows that the democrats have gained nearly a hundred per cent in the past liv years, while the republicans have barely held their own. Garficld in 0 recoived a fraction over 51000 | s in Nebraska, as against 1ln s 28,000, In 1884, J. Sterling Mor ton, the fusion candidate for goverror, polled 58,000, or 4,000 more than Garficld had four years previous. In 1882, the demoeratic strength as massed upon Morton for governor was about the sime the vote for Huncock two previous. This shows eonclusivel the democratic increase from 1882 to 49,000 in 1885 is almost due to the defection of anti-monopoly re- publicans who scem to have gone over to stay. With the stimulns given to t democrats by national supremacy the margin between the two parties in the ; state will become still narrower unloss the republicans come to their senses and discard the old railroad gang of the Gere, Laivd, Humphrey nud Valentine breed. It is as clear as the sun at high noon that sham pledges, bogus commissioners and railrond canpers ga vanized into anti-monopolists will no longer satisfy the republican masses who are made up principally of farmers and | laboring men. can ey m mass of the republican are not Ioe; i Blaind's de [y ic gove ag 1 ul ears [ I'ie old con and the the final wlis for soon olien, | as s Star Chamber Sessions.

The sessions of the | city council ure advertised and Any citizen who cares to vead the coun- cil proceedings ean learn just to what date the meetings are adjourned, exictly what public business wus transueted, and what topies of inter were discussed, The fuet that the transactions are published in full by tho press and discussed by the public has anexcellent eficet in prevent- ing barofaced jobhery and corrupt selieming on the part of the councilmen, while it enables thom to learn the di tion of public sentiment on moensures which affeet the intorests of tuxpayers and citizens. The county board is a close corporation. It is composed of only three members who han.fs hun dreds of thousands of the tuxpuycrs money every vear In county matters thoy posscss all the powers which the city conncil exercise in city matters. They have in addition under their charge the cave of the county poor. It is high time that more light should be thrown upon therr business methods, upon the debates of their meetings and upon the general work and operations of the board. Now that thoy are furnished with elegant und commodious rooms in the new court nouse, there is no reason why there should not be something more show of regularity in the tim: of their mectings and of routine and ordoer in the conduct of their sessions, When this is tho case the press will bestow upon them the samo eaveiu! snd i Uil attowiw mid the public will b open, Rourd of public works sl mon and o partes, whose sidewalks are B o wretched condition objected, the order wus not carried out.
