L e Tue swelling chorus of disgust from bonest republican papors, both in and outside of the First district shows how well Church Howe is known in the state where he has played his part for so many year: His strongest supporters on political grounds do not attempt to pre- tend that they believe him honest. The g of *‘workers’ who have nndertaken the job of folsting upon him republicans wrhom he has time and again repudiated, urge his “smartness” and ‘success” in trickery ashis chief claum for the oftice to whick he aspires.

Witha reputation spottod like & leper by charges of bluckmail, briber. earruption und fraud, Church Howe has the brazen bravado to appeal to honest mmen to stamp the seal of their approva upon his checkered career by sending him to Washington as the chosen repre- sentative of the most populous and wealthy district in the state.

Every day brings forward now testi mony showing tis rnor Hill 1s play- ing a deep and earnest game with his eye fixed steadily on 1888, Shrewdly as he may attempt to conceal his plans indica- tions of them will crop out here and there. We have heretofore pointed out some of these. He is not uniformly suc- cessful in carrying his point, as when his friends in the state committee were com- petled to submit to the nomination of Judge Peckham, a pronounced Cleve- land man. But i the main the Hill tactics are successful, and if Peckham should be defeated, a not improbable re- sult, since his republican opponent, Judge Daniels, 18 an exceedingly the governor may use that circumstance as evidence of the mistake of disregard ing his judgment and thus derive strength from it. The fact is evident, however, that Governor Hill has the following ¢f the majority of his party in New York, and the eircumstance of his being abused y the mugwump press and politicians is steadily strengthening his grip uvon that following. No one can ve failed to re- mark t the endorsement of the na tional administration by the New York democratic committee was loss vigorous and heartyin its terms than was the com mendation of the state admmistration, and no man can be so dull as to need to have the meaning of this pointed out. The men who are the most potential in the management of demoeratic politie: in New York are the fricads and sup- porters of Hill, and whatever pretens regard they may make for the pre is insincere. They are imvplacably hostile to the civil service reform policy in all its relations and bearings, and irrccon- cilably opposed to the course of the pres- ident1n foste i These men traditional prineiple ot the pect to the distribution ot the public patronage, and they have in Governor Hill a man entirely of thei own mind. Another objection to Cleve- land which does not rest against Hill, is the absolute disregard of the former for all political obligation. This is a con- spicuous characteristic of the president, and its effect has been to alienate many who were among his most active o ful supporters. Kven the politician, who is the least sentimental of men, recog- nizes the quality of gratitude, if not for its moral worth at least for its y advantages, but with Mr. Cleve virtue seems to have no Hull, on the other hand, recogn gations and repays them, in some cases, as it has turned out,to his temporary cmbarrassment, but still giving evi- dence of his willingness to reward his friends which 1ncreases his claim to their continued support and draws to him other friends. Itis unquestionably this sort of disposition that wins with the politicians, and there is nothing that will quite compensate for its absence. For the n that Mr, Hill possesses it and Mr. Cleveland does not, the former is now and will probably be two years hence more popular with the democracy of New York then the latter. And these men do not intend that their friendship shall exhaust | itself in a mere expression of kindly sentiment. They are politicians for a purpose. Party suceess is nothing to them af it does not bring them some personal advantage. 1t hus failed to do so under the present administration, and what assurance have they thatit would not still fail if the admimstration were continued? If Mr, Cleveland will not recognize his political obligations when the desire of a second term is strong upon him, he certainly would not do so when he no longer had a personal ambition to serve, On the con- trary he might be expected to naturally have less regard for such obligations. This is the line of reasoning, undoubt- edly, that the democratic politicians of New York are pursuing, and from the politicians' point of view it must be con- ceded to have a great deal of force, The Banks and Bond Oalls, Financial circles are beginning to mamfest a good deal of interest in the probable effects of the continued bond calls on the circulation of the national banks, and the subjeot certainly werits serious consideration. The last call for #15,000,000 of 3 per cent, bonds, includes #12,812,000 held by national banks on deposit in the treasury to secure eircula- tion. Under the ruling and practice of the department, where these bonds cease to bear interest they are no longer avail- able as security for circulation. The banks owning them will then be con- fronted with the alternative of retiring circulation to the amount of ninety per cent of the bonds rendered, or replacing those bouds with others.

The tone of the British press seems to lend countenance to this view, but Germany remains silent.

THERE are indi s at Washington that the admunist cking o way to get rid of the remaining republican employes in the departments, which shall not be in open contravention of the spirit of the civil serviee The creation of rules under the law is left with the com- mission, and 1t is said that it is now pra posed to give the heads of departments or bureaus the right to require an exami- nation of any clerks not appointed through the commission. A plan of this kind would probably result m making a great many vacancies, for doubtless there is a large number of employes in the departments who, while qualilied to perform thor- oughly and efliciently the routine duties with which they have become familiar, would fail in such an examination as the commission would require. Thusadouble inju would be worked in throwing these clerks out of employment and branding them as incompetents, although thoroughly capable in the work required of them. The plea that there are many incompetent people in the departments who must be got rid of in this way is not good. There is no bar to the dism such employes. If such arule as to be proposed is adopted, it will be as a pretext 1o got rid of republican clerk without palpably violating the c or- vice law. The example of the new publie printer is perhaps irritating other oflicials who have less freedom of removal than he has. Tue fathers of the two men now the democratic and republican lead- as gubernatorinl candidates, in Mas- sachusctts, were twenty-five years ago of the same political party and acting to- gether oflicially. Then John A, Andrew was governor of the st and Oak Ames was o member of his executive council. As luds John F. Oliver A now the democratic and republican candidates, were frequently scen about the state house in Boston, Wonderful histor made in that period, and the two men who helped to I it occupy boldly contrasting posi- tions in the record, Andrew stands out conspicuously among the great figures of his time—an executive of commanding ability, a patriot of the most sterling quality, and more fully equipped in all respeets for the gr cigeney in which he played so important a part. As to the carcer of the other charity counsels silence, though it cannot blot out the un- fortunate record. The fact of the sons of these men now confronting each other us opposing partisans is a rather inter- esting example of the changes and evo- lutions time effects, who are Tue hue and ery that the republican party cannot afford to let a demo erst go to congress from Nebraska, even if they haye to elect & reprobate and black- ailer, can have no effect upon sensible, intelligent republicans. Nebraska will have at least two republicans in congress and it would be a worse calamity to the state and the party at large to elect Howe than to elect an honest democrat. What assurance have republicans that Howe will remain republicun if it be- comes his interest to be a democrat? How was it in 18767 Suppose the demo- crats needed Church Howe's vote to give them control of the house. How long would it be before they could make it to Howe's interest to flop into their party once more?

In order to make alegnl canvass of the electoral returns, Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the sth of December, 76, at Lincoln, for the pur- pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the state.

The coneluding sentences of this precious document are as follow “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the electoral yoto of the state by this body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signea) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska, “The democrats did not respond to the L of the governor and there was barely a quorum in the senate, while there were several to spare in the house of which Howe was a member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the ‘ilden lawyers in Omabka and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tilden. The legisla- ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record and canvassed the clectoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at 1ts height i Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the houso to the senate. Early in the session, a resolution introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler having received a majority of the clectoral votes were on- titled to their seats, This resolution i< rise to a very lively debate which lasted two days. Church Howe asked to be excused from voting when it first came up and was so excused, On the final passage of the resolution the record [page 1877,] shows the following re s—Ambrose, Baird, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, Carns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- field, Gilham, Hayes, Kennard, Knapp, Popoon, Powers, Thummel, Van Wyck, Walton and Wilcox—20. Those voting in the negative were: Aten, Brown, Covell, Ferguson, Hinman, Holt, Church Howe and North—8, During the same session of the legisla- ture, Church Howe's vote on United States senator for the firstthree ballots is recorded as haying been cast for E.

The flight of the st press on the Pennsylvania railway 1s a marked example of the possibilities in the way of sustaining gl rates of speed, This road now runs the fastest train in America. Nine bundred and twelve miies, including seven stops, are accom- plished in twenty-five and one-half hours, and the average time is 86.30 miles an hour.

Thirty-one years ago Col. Mei a papor before the New York elub on “Future 1" in which he expressed the b Iroad-cars could be safely props m at the rate of three hundred miles an hour. He ind: “The emperor of Russia has taken the first great step toward what 1 deciu the um of railroad travel. Instead of cutting what I cali a mere drill through the country and going around every- thing in the way for a straight line, he has cut a broad way for five hund miles from St. Petersberg to Moscow. He has made it all the way two hundred feet wide so that the engineer sees every- thing on the road. This is part of the futro—the railroad feom point to point with a mathematical line; the rails ten times stronger than are now used; the locomotives on wheels of far greater diameter; the gauge of a relative breadth; the signals and times per ly settled; the roads on both sides during the transit of trains having the gates of the walls all closed—tien instead of traveling one hundred miles an hour, we shall more safely travel three hundred miles an hour.” One of the latest efforts at improve- ment in locomotives is that of ¥rench- man named Estrade, who bas constructed When Georg which was forty-two tons. | 1x n number, are ¢ight and one | feet in diamet The eylinders tside, with valve boxes on toy length of the stroke is two feot and 1) inclies and one-half.
