Honest re- publicans w:ho have protested for years against the seandalous methods consim trickster now propose te make their protest effective. So long as Church Howe confined s energies to the pohtical constituency which he holds in his pocket he was within the firing line of independent voters. Mis moncy and his olly tongue were secure him the freedom of building and the legislative puk s ict were ow that pired to the lobby outside of his senatorial dis belpless to interfere he has audaciously as- national honors and ap pealed to t largest, the wealthiest and the most intelligent congressional district in Nebraska to endorse his can didacy, the issue changes. It no longer becomes a lo question as to the su of a shrewd and cunning legislator who could be dependea upon to trade meas- ures and votes for the benefit of the Sc ond senatorial district. It is an issue in- volving the welfare and dignity of Ne- Eraska and the interests of the great re- publican part It is the question whether Nebraskn shall send to Wash- ington to represent her most populous district the most corrupt, the most venal, the most scandalously notorious tric ster and party traitor within the confines ot the state. Church Howe's defeat by the vote of his own party will be a victory for good government. 1t will proclaim in tones 50 loud that their meaning cannot by nustaken that there a point bheyond which party ovganization cannot without the risk of party defeat, It w announce to nominating conventions in Nebraska that a nommation without re- gard to'the character of the nomince is not always equivalent to an elee even in a distriet overwhelmingly ri lican. The character of any government must denvend upon the tone of the men who make and enforce the laws. The character of a party cqually depends upon the ealibre of its nommees for pub- lic oflice. wpital Aspects of the Situation in New York, People who can turn their attention from the demands of local polities to what is in progress elsewhere, may find something to interest them in the present aspect of the mayoralty contest in New York. That very earncst and somewhat remarkable struggle bas evidently under- gone some changes within the past week, a8 the vesult of which there appears to be a more favorable promise of republican victory. The indications are that the al- literative battle cry of “Roosevelt and Reform” is proving a most stirring and potential shibboleth, to which not only are the great majority of republicans re- sponding with unwonted enthusiasm, but a great many democrats who have the candor to acknowledge the erying necessity for reform, and the intelligence to see that it could not be secured under George and would not be likely to be ef- fected under Hewitt. So far as the former of these candidates is concerned, there has undoubtedly been a consider able decline in the nterest and enthus- insm which signalized the beginning of his camipaign. This is duc in_ pait to the clearer aporehension which a careful study of his peculiar views and policy has given of their impracticable cl ter,if not of the danger that might exist in a serious attempt to enforce them, but it is due quite as much to the changed at- titude which the labor candidate has assumed with tho pr of the cumpaign. He has shown that he is not incapable of adopting the device of a demagogue in appealing to class distinctions and class prejudices, and in deing this he has detracted from his cause. The good impression made by his first declaration of principles and policy has been very much lessened by his later utterances, and there is evidence that he has lost the favor of a good many thoughtful people who at the outset were well disposed toward him. He has still, however, a strong and nctive following, the greater part of which esents de- fections from the democracy. With respeet to Mr. Hewitt, the candi- date of the united Tammany and County democracy, though really put torward by the former, there appears also to bo & diminution of the enthusiasm which im- mediately followed his nomination. There 18 unquestionably very groat pcet for the eandidate, and a general ing of conlidence that if untrameled Hewitt would make an excellent exeent| But the anomalous character of his candidacy does not commend it to a great many prominent and influential democrats, who are openly and actively opposing him, is a remarkable afflliation in view of the tact that Mr, Hewitt has been a consistent foe of Tammany and its methods, which he has denounced at ev- ery opportunity, while he has been hardly less pronounced in his opposition to tho other faction, To have now permitted himself to becomo the oreature of these organizations, 1n their life-and-death struggle to retain control of the immenso patronage and spoils of the metropolis, 1san act of such apparently supreme self-stultification that prudent and thoughtful men cannot see initthe prom- i#o of any good in the desired direction of municipal reform. It Is vory signifi- ant whon such life-long democrats as ex-Sheriff O'Brien, ex-Senator Bixby and Edward M, Knox, for muny years a Tam- many district leader, publicly proelaim their opposition to Mr. Hewitt, declar- ing that his eloction would be a public calamity. The candidney of Mr. Roosevelt differs from that of his opponents in the fact that it represents no class distinetions or prejudicos, and was not the vesult of any and unnatural combinations. His tion, moreover, was due wholly to the fact that more conspicuously and usefully than sny other man in New York he has been the consistent and ag- gressive enemy of the uusorupulous rings that have ruled that city with a high hand, and fattened on the continued and reckless robbery of the tax payers. As a legislator he Mtained a persistent and uncomprom- ising warfare aguinst the pohtical com binations whieh have made New York a hotbed of jobbery and fraud, rendering possible such robberies of the people as were perpetrated by Tweed, Squire and others, He is justly eredited with a great deal that has been dove to improve the municipal administration of New York, his record in this rogard is clear and un- questioned, and there is no doubt that as wayor he would put into effuot, to the It | olt against Church Howe is a | of this | | this number by ten thousand. suflicient 1o | Re. | extent of his opportunities, other re- forms which he has hitherto sought un- successfully to have instituted.

In the pres ent nspeet of the sitnation, however, the fight ms to be between Roosevelt and George, with the chances a good deal favor of the former. The County Hospital Propositiol Citizens of Douglas county will be called upon at thecoming election to au- thorize the sale of a portion of the poor farm and the erection of a county hospi- | tal and insane asylum from the funds ob- tuined. Ttisscarcely necessary tosay that such an institution is very much needed. Our present poor house 15 crowded with meurables huddled together in miser: ble and dirty quarters, while the poor and sick are obliged to ok what commodations they can else- where. Humanity and deceney combine in demanding the prompt construction of a building where this city and county can properly provide for the destitute and dying. The movement for a county hos- is therefore timely. Under the prop- tion made by the board of commis- sioncrs every interest of the tax payers 1be s The east fifty cres of the poor farm to be platted nd offered for sule under stringent con- ditions of appraisement by disinterested partics, and the lots sold at anction to the highest bidder. The money secured, it is thought, will be ample to put up a building containing rds for the insane, medical wards and Iying- in-wards. The commissioners have taken the wise precaution to call for competi- tive plans from a number of architects, who have made hospital construction a specialty, and to submit the plans of- fered Lo a consulting board of physicians, who have had hospital experience. After an inspection of the various designs, the sure voters that whichever one elected, * Doug county will have one of the most complete and pe feet of hospital buildings in the country, There should not be & vote east aganst the hospital proposition. Omaha has many elegant mansions for her rich, sunny and cheerful and sightly to the eye. The time has come when she must provide decent and comfortable aceom:- modations for her sick and poor, & home for incurable insape and a retreat where helpless and unfortunate women in the pangs of motherhood may find care and comfort and suceor, was a time when the rapidly succeeding episodes in the domestic career of ex-Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, had an interest for the public, but the salacious dish was served so con- stantly and so freely that it finally be- came nnpalatable, and no one felt anv re- gret when it was removed. All partios to the unhappy expose of domestio in- folicity suffered in popular respect. Many regarded the course of Sprague as unmanly, if not brutal, while others felt that his provocation was great enough to ¢ almost any excess. His wife then, now Kate Chase, was certainly exhibited in a light which every true woman would shun, but which she seemed to invite and court with a reckless disregard of the opinion of the world. After a period of domestic warfare there came a separa- tion, a bitter conflict over the proper a struggle for the children, a divorce Resuming her maiden name, Kate Chase went to Europe. Sprague married again, There was a period during which the public heard nothing of either, and the domestic conflict that had driven them apart was about forgotten. Some time ago Kate Chase returned from Europe, chiefly, it is supposed, to see to the re- moval of the remains of her distinguished father to their final resting place in Ohio. This singular woman, however— brilliant, si having the traces of her youthful beauty, ambitious, worldly, lov- ing notoriety—seems not to have been content to proceed in the performance of her sacred purpose. Finding nerself again an object of intorest, she yielded to the enticement of the newspaper in- terviewer, and again called public at- tention to events of her life which she would hetter have left to oblivion, since they can bring her no eredit, Her ill-ad- references to Sprugue appear to s nettled the ex-governor's present and atart arraignment of the ex- wife has been published throughout the country. Itshonld be Loped that there will be nothing more of the matter, but 1t 18 hardly to be expected that Kate Chase will permut her successor to have the last word. A r.ABor lockout of the most formidable proportions isimpending in Philadolphia There has existed for some time a con- troversy between the employers and workmen 1 the textile industries of thav city, and recently the Manufacturers’ Association determined that unless the employes submitted to the propositions that had been submitted to them, one of which is to yield to the manufacturers the right to retain in employment non- union men who had taken the places of strikers, & goneral lockout would go into effect on the 8d of November. If no agreement is reached and this determna- tion 1s carried out, 1t will throw out of work between sixty and seventy thousand operatives, the great majority of whom, of course, are in no condition to encoun- ter idleness at tho threshold of winter. At last advices both parties were firm and there appeared to be no prospect of an adjustment of the difficulty, A lock- out of so great a number of people in one bracch of industry would be unpre- cedented in this country. ——e OnAHA workingmen have a vital inter- est in the congressional election.

From an unpublished poem by Colonel Lamont. Ben Folsom, many a summer day, In the county of Erie whiled away. Very well at the Buffalo bar he stood, His'health was sound and his appetite good. Singing, he worked, and his merry glee Made echoes at Washington, D, C. But when he turned and looked at the map, Where Sheflield lay on old England’s lap, His sl\l\'ljft song died and his young blood oils, As he ponders his chances for some of the spoils; And waters his month and trembles his lip For o snug, well-paying consulship.

The republicans of the First distriot should ask themsclves whether a man having such a record as that of Church Howe has any rightfal claim upon the support of uny decent republican, Leav- ng out of question his corrupt methods and notorious venality we appeal to re- publicans to puuse and reflect before they put a premivm upon party tr son and conspiracy againstits very exist- enco. Ten years ago, when the republican party was on the verge of disaster, and cotoral yote cast for Hayes and Wiceler was needed to retain the party in power, Church Howe entered into a conspiracy to deliver republican Nebraska into the hands of the enemy nous plot is not a mere conjee- The proof of it does not rest on surmise or suspicion. It isnot to be pooli-poohed or brushed away by pro- nouncing it ono of Rosewater's malicious eampaign slanders, Tha records of the legislature of w Church Howe was a member in 767 contain the indelible proofs of the tre onable couspiracy, and no denial n stand against evidence furnished by his own pen. Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden vd democrucy is as follows In 1876 Nebraska elected Silas A. & kland, Amasa Cobb and A. H. Connor presidential eloctors by a vote of 31,16 as against a vote of 16,951 east for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After the election it was discovared that the canvass of this vote could not take place under the then existing ‘law before the legislature convened. The electoral vote had to be canvassed in December at the latest, nd the reguiar sion of the legislature did not begin until January In order to make a legal canvass of the ecicctoral returns, Governor Garber called a speeial 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 democratic effort to cap- ture republican electoral votes is historie. Tilden’s friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the eapture of one of the electors from Nebras historic that a large bribe one of the electors, General Strickland. The eall of the legislature broke intoth plan of the plotters, and they found a will- ing and reckless tool in Church How When the legislature convened at the capi- tal,Church Howe filed a protest which may be found on pages 6, 7and 8 of the Ne- braska Houge Journal of 1877. The fol- lowing extract makes interesting reading: *1, Church Howe, a member of the legisla- ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of his excellency, Governor Silas Garber, for the purpose of cahvassing and declaring the result of the vote cast in Ne- braska for electors for president and vice president of the United States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying that the governor has power to call this body in special session for any such purpose, or that this body has any authority to canvass or declare the result of such voteupon the following grounds: First. This lagislature now convened hav- ing been elected under what is known as the old constitution, has no power to act in the premises, the new constitution of the stato having been 1n force since November, 1575 The second and third clanses deal with technieal objections and are somewhat lengthy. The conoluding sentences of this precious document are as follows: “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the electoral yote of the state by his body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signed) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. “The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely aquorum in the senate, while there were soveral to spare in the house of which Howe was a membgr, Fhe protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the ‘lilden lawyers in Omaha 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 electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature conyened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at its height in Washington, Church Howe had ehanged places from the houso to the senate. Early in the session, a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler haying received n majority of the electoral votes were en- titled to their seats. This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which Iasted two days. Church Howe asked to be excused from voting when it first camo up and was so excused. On the final passage of theresolution the record [page 376, Senate Journal 1877,] shows the following resul Yeas—Ambrose, Baird, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, Carns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- field, Gillam, Hayes, Kennard, Knapp, Pepoon, Powers, Thummel, Van Wyck, Walton and Wilcox—20. Those voting in the negative wero: 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 first three ballots is recor as having been cast for E. W, Thomas, & South Carolina demoorat, [pages 198 and 208 Senate Journal.) All this time Church Howe professed to be a republican independent, republican on nationalissues and a temperance granger on local issues. We simply ask whrt right a man with such a record has to he support of any republican. STATE AND LRITORY. Nebraska Jottings, is moving for a public li- ture, *h Geneva biary.
