MiLLER AND MORTON" 510 the leading candidates for senator in New York— Warner Miller and Levi P Morton. Mil- ler and Morton are names well known to the Nebraska demoer: Every member of the legislature from Douglas county, both republican and democrat, is a pronounced Van Wyck man. None other could have been elected in the late election, A rEW eastern papers of protective proclivities are endeavoring to boom Mr. Randall for the speakership. It isa waste of wind and a misuse of valuable space’ Randall's causc is hopel Tukreis a want of sufficiency and completeness about the post-election opintons which ean be supplied only by the Hon. Benjumin F. Butler. Where 1s that gentlewan, and why docsn't he render judgment? WnrLe the insurance companics lost some money by last wee fire, th reaping a golden harvest in consequence. There is ncies Lo inere: insurance ke out policie for buildings under construction. SAM RANDALL is nominated by the New York Sun for the presidency in 1888, Mr. Randall, aside from his high tariff views, coraes from the wrong state, The next democratic eandidate will hail from New York, cither in the person of Uncle Grover Cleveland or General David Hill, Cousiy Bex ailsnext Saturday for Sheflield, where he expects 1 remain for two years. Atthe end of that time he will settle in Omaha to look after the two estates which he administers with an incidental eye, probably, to what wili be left of the Clevelana boom in Ne- braska polities, PuiLie Axpr returned from the Knights of Labor convention in Rich- mond just in time to see himselt elected. That great body of representative Amer- ican workingmen declared openly in fa- vor of Gene Van Wyck's candidacy and did much to secure the clection of memnbors of the legislature pledged to his interests WE bave just received, in common doubtless with most other newspapers of the country, aspeech in pamphlet form of the Hon, James Phelan of Lennessce, professing to eluci the democratic position on the tariff. From a al glance at this voluminous document we are forced to the conclusion that the party of which its author is a moember owes somebody a debt of gratitude for haying withheld it from general circula- tion until after the elections. We are also impressed with the conviction that the result of the elections is likely to have such an effect upon the future tarift position of the democracy us to render uite worthless any statement regarding it made o month ngo. 5 do not acknowi- re in any way discour- aged by the result of the lats clections At a convention held by them in Leeds resolutions were ps pledging the liberal party in England to make home rule for Ircland the chief plank in the party platform and guarantecing con- tinued support to Mr. Gladstone, From all parts of the country comes the news of great demonstrations that are be neld o fayor of home rule, and it is ey dent that no compromise will be made with those who have boen coquetting with the tories and planning weasures which do not in any ef their fentures enbody the prineiple of kelf-government ‘I'ux occupation and subjugition of Burmeh by Groat Br ve proving dif fienlt and dangerous, ‘The revolt among the natives is spreading, and bosides the danger of extermination to which the be sed leaguered garrisons were exposed, fover | has claimed many vietuns. closo upon these reverses comes the news of the elhion of a hill tribe in - Afghan- istan snd the mussacre by them of a reg- ament of native soldiors, The purt which the Ghilzais, the tribe i question, took in the retreat from Cabul in 1842, when out of 8,000 soldiers only one succerded in foreing his way to Jelalabad, wilt al- ways be remembered in English histary. How far Russian antrigue is responsible for this latest may re cannot yet be determined, but it was undoubtedly a factor in bringing about the uprising If this insurrection shall conunue to spread, it will need all the foree which Eugland ean muster to proteot the gate to India.

Ever, democrat who believes that it is the busi- ness to strive for good government and to endeavor to throw its weight in favor of the man who can be most useful to the people is atened with excommunica- tion from the party. Now we would like to know how many democrats in the next legislature owe their eleetion to Doctor Miller. Lhere s not one in Douglas county. The demo- erats who were clected from this connty owe their success in common with the republicans who were elected to the labor ticket which was made up of can- didates who had pronounced and pledged themselves for Van Wyck. If they refuse to curry out their pledges they would scarcely dare to show their faces nmong their outraged constituents, Nine-tenths of the democrats elected in other counties owe their election to pledges made to their constituents that they would support Van Wyck unless the legislature was democratic. Doctor Miller's support would have n fatal to them and they cannot be dragooned into a caucus whose sole objeet is to defeat Van Wycek in iavor of & republicun cundidate of the ralro; Dr. Miller had better return to Wall street and resume the speenlative carcer which he has mapped out for himsclt under the shadow of Gould's private of- fice. by The Popular Vote a Success. The experiment of the povular vote for senator has been a suceess. It has been made against many discouragements, The railroad republicans were in charge of the machinery m most counti and resolutely refused to allow republicans to voice their preference on the reguiar tickets. The democratic leaders adopted the same tactics. In consequence the friends of Gene Van Wyck were obliged to bear the burden of expense of printing and circulating tickets and posters bearing his nume. It s :nce of the great strength of General Van Wyck s eandidacy and the high esteem in which he is held throughout the state, that in spite of these obstacles the people here polled a yery large vote which names hm as their choice for the senato- rial succession. In several counties the vote was practically unanimous. In wany it was a full three-fourths majority o ull the votes cast. Until the official returns are all in it wiill be impossible to state definately, but we believe that the scunator has received a round majority of the yotes polled. The vote of course has no direct influ- ence on the return of General Van Wyck. It does not give him a title to another six years in the senate. That title under the national constitution must come from the legislature. But indirectly the popular vote will go a long ways toward determ- ining the result. It shows the feeling throughout the state to be strongly in favor of a popular representative who has for six years fought the battles of the prople against the corporations, and up- held the interests of the western pro- ducer at the national capital. Weak kneed legislators, who pledged themselves to abide by public sentiment as voiced in the vote for senator, will now have no excuse for w ng. The popuiar vol success, has been The Judge Advocate Washington dispatche: wit afew duys past that an effort is making to secure a re-hearing by the president of the ease of Judge Advocate General Swuaim who was suspended about a year ago upon the verdiet of a court martial that hie had been guilty of certuin misdemeanors ov imoropricties in con- traveution of military law or usage.

Tt was widely and in- eyitably regurded, whether justly or not, as the reward of personal sand business favors.
