Its appeal for “'struight goods,” coupled with attacks on Van Wyck, show the way the wind is blowing in that quarter.|§ PriNcE WALDEMAR'S royal father has doalined for his son the Bulgarin suc- cession.

This is sud, but there are seven other counties to be heard from besides Tom Major's precinet at Peru. Par Forp, who bought his seat in the council at so much a vote, and represents with dignity the dives and dens of the bloody Third, s highly commended by the Omuha Republicar for the stand he has taken in defense of wood morals and an improved police force. Perhaps the editor of the Republican is not awaro that haif of the police force was recroited from Put’s boarding hous IN every county where monopoly re publican candidates have been defoated by anti-monopoly democrats there 1s o loud call from the vanguished that the democrats shall go into caucus and stick for straight democracy, Nothing sends such a shndder down the spinal columns of the railrond bosses as the fear that democratic votes may be cust for Senator Van Wyck. In their eyes, repubhican de- feat would be preferable 1 I there were any more papers in the state capital to buy, the B, & M. railrond would soon take them out of the mg ket. The democratic paper run by Cal houn, wiich was so outspoken against the railroad bosses and demoerat ing-house organs, has experienc change of heart and joined the B. & M. caravan. Fortunately the legislature never pays any attention to the Lineoln papers. They know that they only pipe for the brass-collared troupe and the po- litical pilferers who live on state pap. e new bridge is approaching com- plotion, but there are no visible signs of the new union depot.

When American workingmen are thor- oughly aroused to the urgent noed of riff roform, the dodgers and trimmers in congress will be foreed to hft the op- pressive burden of over taxation, fron which the producers of this country are now suffering, The bugbear of an im possible “free trade’ will soouer or later cease to alarm. Sensiblo mon will take their pencils in hand and figure out that the greatest possiblo reduction on the riff, which cin be made without causing a wreasury deficiency, will still furni heavy protection to American industr eapitalists, while it willopen new markets for trade and stimultate vroduction by furnishing cheaper raw materials to be turued into finished munufactured produets. A system of taxation which eoll cets more funds than are needed for the conduct of the government and tho debt requirements of the nition is over taxation, eall it by whatever nupe politicians and political economists may. As soon as this is understood, the people will not be slow to apply the remedy. A Capital Scandal A wmost uneommon and pecu dal is revortod to have devetoped in Washington. The story is that the chicf of police, who has been in office only a few months, had insteucted certain of his subordinates to especially wateh the wovements of members of congress at night, noting the pluces they visit, and in cusos where these were not reputable the fact was to be used to exact from such members their support of legisia tion favorable to the police torce. The disclosure was made by an ola oflicer of tho police, against whom eharges of in- subordination have been preforred. Con- fidenes is felt that this oilicer will sub- stantiate bis statemont, and his trial by the commiss oners is exnecte to present some highly interesting developments for that cowmunity. Mennwhile the police foree is a good denl demoralized over the uflair, It is not possible to characterize tou strougly so despieable a scheme this, but what must the people of the country think of the revelation it makes respect- ing the churacter of their representatives e conclusion is inevitable that the chicf of the Washington police would | not have instructed bis subordinutes to Wwiutain a2 espionage ou the private cated by | | walks and condnet of congressmen, for | the purpose of using them, unless he know thete was game to be bagged in Ho is undoubtedly an un- serupulous and unprincipled . fellow, | bat he probably mot aitoguther fool, and 1t is not to be| rationally supposed that Lie would have | gona recklessly aud at hap-hazard into a scheme ot this sort for which there was surance of results. He had knowl- edge that the privae conduct of congressmon not reproach, and he knew that they w. to be found npromising places. Unhappily ch is the tact, and has boen so always, Many of the men who make the laws of | nation are not superior to the vices which, when practiced by men of less ex- altod stations, the world calis erimes, and no some wis we are as vulnerable to the tempiations which abound in Washington as are moanee people Were the private earcers at the national capital of some of the great statesmen whose memory the coun- try just y honors for their great publie | services fully exposed, the effect would be to badly sully the glamonr in which they are now seen, and though it may perhaps be fairly said that generally the cong men of to-day are more careful in their conduet than we hose of a geneiation ago, the number is now mwuch 1o of those who do not conform therr duly, ly their nightly, conduct remonts of all of the ten com- teae, 'tis pity, and largo or more propel to the vequ mandments, pity "tis ‘tis true "Tis False Assuimprions, The mugwimp supporters of the presi- journals ident ana t which are most ardently dovoted to eivil serviee reform, continue te insist that the resuit of the late eloctions was an endorsement of the | policy of the administration with sespeet | to this reform It is elimed by them | that in those states where the president | yielded somewhat to the party clamor Wl owas more lax than elsewhere in maintaining his policy, the democracy red most severely, In evidence of \Y nd districts ro cited, | i, Olio, Indiane of Ilhnois and Wisconsin, while it is eaid that m Massachusetts, the reform policy was endorsed 1w democracy, the party gained. It seems to us that theso ssumptions are essentially false and mislendimg. Look- ing at the situntion in these states sep- arately and what are tho facts? In Vir democratie disaffection toward lad been wing | adily for six months before the clee: tion, vartly on the ground of adiinistration objeetion to its civil service poliey and measura- bly for other reasons, somoe of which »hiad their influence to the detriment administration in Maryland and south. In Ohio the democr ause was utterly hopeloss by re of the abominable record of the | party in that state nst which the republican fight was wholly directed, but so far as the rank nd file of the demoeracy of Ohioare con corned they are not in sympathy with ivil service reform. In Indiana the out- of the democracy in jerry- mandering the state disgusted thousands | of fair minded democrats, and we have | the testimony of ex-Senator MeDonald that apact of the democe: disuf sdue tothe displensare of ti with the civil service policy of the i istr b mony ot Mr. Mc ald was that t ts of Ind are strongly opposed to civil ser form, and not less so now than they have ever been. ‘The defeat of Morrison in {1inois had nothing whatever to do with | this reform, and it 1s not apparent tl the election of a republican to represent TAZCONS Cot wie setion rty e ro- Brage's district in Wisconsin was an en- dorsement of the president’s policy.

How was it in Pennsylvania? The democratic candidato for governor oribes his defeat solely to the discontent in the party growing out of the patronage issue. ‘“Fhe enrse of patronage,” hoe is quoted as saying, “did the business, and the same curse was operative all over the country just as it was here. I did not believe,” further said Mr. Black, “and 1 cun yet se; ly realize that thousands of szuiar democrats were capable of saeri- ving their ticket and th state to minor and sordid consideration like t relating to the federal oflices. We have been shot in the backs by our own peo- ple.”” The defeated democeratic candi- dato for governor of Pennsylvania ti the right view of the matter. There was widespread discontent with the civil ser. vice policy of the administration—with the fact that the president shows a par- r fondness for this policy above al and likes to enforee it—and it | nifested itsolf in the elections, The | result has not moditied or reduced the feoling, and mugwamp cncoursgement of the president to continue that policy will be vory likely to intensify it.

No evidence is shown that Mr. MofTat's death was caused by his treatment at the police station- In all probability the case any event I'he only points stress is 1aid on are first, that Mrs. Theiman struck Moffatt on the head with a piece f crockery, that Mofatt was conveyed to the station 1 a coal wagon and was there kept bound hand and foot until Dr Leisenring arrived.
