Mr. TRAIN gave Kansas City a drub. ‘bing on account of its wretched side- walks. He ought to do the same thing for Omaha. GEORGE FrRINCIS TRAIN strik keynote for Omaha's futare by calling for the burial of fifty old fogies who are always clogging the wheels of progress. THE seven anarchists seem to be the most composed community in Chi- cngo at present, in spite of the fact that an Omaha paper devours one of them every morning. THE waterways of the country will close next month and the railroads are preparing to squecze a little more blood money from the poor coal-consumers of the land by raising the freight on that fuel. SECRETARY FAIRCHILD gave bond redemption o fair trial and has come to ‘loyal and the conclusion that this method is not sufficient to save the country from the evil effects of the treasury surplus. He has come to the conclusion that tax re- duction is the proper remedy. This is & remedy the whole country will cheer- fully endorse. — Tne Consolidated Horse and Cattle convention meets in Kansas City next Monday. The meeting will be an im- rormnt one and representatives of the ive stock interest from all parts of the country will be present. The cattle- raising industry is in a depressed con- dition at present and if some means can e devised to revive it, a great benefit will be conferred upon the west. HON. ALLEN G. THURMAN has en- tered actively into the Ohio campaign. He is making speeches and old age does not seem to have impaired his vigor. The old war horse will have to be care- ful how he shows any superiority over his party. Democracy tolerates no ex- hibition of especial ability among its membors and always has a snub ready for any one rash enough to distinguish himself from his fellows in that manner. ST, PAUL hardly knows how to con- tain herselt. Two great personages have just paid the city a visit, the duke of Marlborough and Robert Garrett. The former is described as very neat in dress, with aristocratic features and a forehead so high that it extends to the top of his hend. Garrett’s physician told @ reporter that his patient’s mind was aflected from overwork! But the St. Paul snobocracy feel highly honored by the brief sojourn of the overworked and demented millionaire. TRAIN says his 6,000 Omaha lots are now covered by 1,000 houses, occupied by people who don’t own the property. Mr. Train evidently forgets that in this age of anarchy and communism the land belongs to the man who has the best use for it. Train has the whole of Madison square in New York City to himself without title or rental. Why can’t a thousand poor laboring men in Omaha have the freo use of the lands which Mr. Train platted into lots before ho emigrated from Omaha to New York? TnE fate of the Chicago anarchists is §ust now the all-absorbing topic. From contemporaries of the same date we read, quoting head-lines only: ‘““Work on the Gallows Progressing; Making the Shrouds; Nothing whatever yet done in Preparation of the Hanging; Last Touches on the Gibbets; No Signs of & Gullows Treo yet; The Anarchists are Bwe to Hang; The Anarchists Will never be Executed; Secret Agitation; Great Riot on November 11 Feared; gvcryth\ntz Quiet; No Indications of an prising.” — THE railway statistics of the last six months go to show that the inter-state Jaw has increased the reveuuo of the roads instead of decreasing them us railroad officials and stockholdersat first predicted. We shall probably not hear mnything more of the "unconstitutional- fty of the act from that quarter. But the patrons of the roads will very prop- erly demand that the law shall not be construed as authorizing higher rates ‘than prevailed before its enactment. The true extént of the law . was u level: g down of tolls 'PHE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1887, - Cadet Taylor and Judge Groff. Mr, Heott struck the nail on the head when he charged ui the mass meeting Judge Groff would haye boen endorsed by the roust. about convention if he had not granted that femporary injunction against Cadet Taylor's printing steals-ee. 1If Mr. Scott made any such statoments It will be necessary to place him in the same | category with some other fool friends: of Judge Groff, who bave been doing a fair amount of tall lying in the same direction. The Republican never said a word against Judge Groff's candidacy before the republi- can convention. Now that he is before the people as & mugwump candidate, opposing the republican ticket, he is in an entirely dif- ferent attitude, and we shall oppose his election fairly and squarely, as in the case of all democrats and mugwumps who are en- deavoring to defeat the republican ticket. # * % The friends of Judge Groft are foreing a case which is still pending in the courts into the “dirty pool of politics,” and they may rest assured of it that if this is to be the programme, the judicial ermine prom- ises to get alittle deeper in the ‘“‘political pool” than any other office-secking toggery. —Republican. We cheerfully give Cadet Taylor the benefit of his brazen denial. Threats always have been and are his chief stock in trade. The Republican did not and could not influence the action of any convention. But Cadet Taylor through the combine with that office- seeking monimaniac Ballou and Roust- about Estelle, exerted sufficient influ- enco to defeat Judge Groff’s endorse- ment. This is so notorious thata denial will gimply brand the man who makes it as an impudent liar. Now why did Taylor himself and the bummers and roustabouts oppose Judge Grofl’s nomin, tion? Is he not as competent as Han- cock, Estello or Ballou? Is hea man against whose character o word can be truthfully said? Had he not been a staunch republican, and proved his loyalty to his ceuntry by carrying a musket for the union? Was not his defeat the carrying out of a threat made soon after he had grant- ed an injunction against Taylor & Round’s fraudulent and illegal printing contract?” Mr.Cadet Taylor is very brash in serving notice on the friends of Judge Groff that he proposes to drag the judge down into the mire in which he himself has been wallow- ing. Nobody is suprised at that. A man who will send his attornoy to threaten a judge with political vengeance unless he complies with his demands is capa- ble of any dirty work. Perhaps Mr. Cadet Taylor will deny that his at- torney, in doing this, acted upon his authority, but attorneys are not in the habit of commanding a judge to serve their clients or take the consequences of disobedience unless their clients in- »plire or approve such bulldozing meth- ods. The Law Will Stand. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, before de- parting for Washington, said he did not think there was the remotest chance of a repeal of the inter-state commerce law. There is not. The representa tives of neither par in congress will make so serious a mistake as to attempt its repeal. There will undoubtedly be a strong pressure brought by the cor- porations, which would like to be re- stored to their former privileges, and to which the policy of regulation by the people is extremely repugnant, against the law. It is not unlikely that these coporations will find a few men on the floors of congress who will be disposed to advocate theircause. There aremem- bers of both houses who still owe service to the railroads, some of whom may not be unwilling to sacrifice their political hopes to the more profitable present employment of the corporations. But they will be very largely in the minority and powerless to accomplish anything for the overthrow of the law. There is no statute more certain to re- main for all time a part of the public law of the country, subject to such amendment from time to time as ex- perience and changed conditions shall suggest, than the inter-state commerce law. Some changes will probably be made by the next congress, but tho promise is that these will not be numer- ous or radical. Congress will be guided largely by the recommendations of the commission, and Judge Cooley, its chair- man, has very recently said that it would have few amendments to sug- gest. The assurance contained in this is that the body created to exe- cute the law has found it to be in the main sufficient to accomplish the object of a proper and adequate regula- tion of railrond transportation between the states. If all has not been accomplished that was expected or desired, there has at least been sufficient to establish the soundness of the main principle of the law, and to remove all doubt from minds open to conviction regarding the prac- ticability and the desirability of the regulation provided for. Despite the combined efforts of the railroads to render the law odious to the public and to obstruct and embarrass its operation ~—a bold and systematic effort to nullify astatute which clearly demonstrated the desperate character of the power with which the people were contending —after six months of trial under great disadvantages and some serious mis- takes the nggregate results of the work- ing of the law are secen tobe tothe advantage of the people, and the gain in that direction goes steadily on. The hostile combinations formed when the law went into effcct have been toa large extent abandoned, and every step in the disintegration of the power arrayed to defeat the just requirements of the statute has beon followed by a conces- sion to the public demunds. A great deal yet remains to be done before the regulation sought to be established shall be complete and all scctions and localities receive just cons Undue discrimination is still prac: ticed, unreasonable churges are still exacted, unjust preferoncos still | vail, But these conditions ol noxious to the law are less gen- eral than they were a few months ago and are decreasing. The corporntions themselves are learning the folly and futility of a' rvesistance that must t« t0 the instinet of selfishness, are one by one refusing 1o be longer bound by ob- ligutions which bring them uo present advantage, and which they . know must in any event be sooner or later aban- dotied. Thus influences and conditions Quite outside of the law arc operating tainly eventuate in defeat, ang yiclding | to produce. results which .in a littla while will render its execution simple and everywhere acceptable, S Under such favoring eircumstinces the people will tolerate no interference with the inter-state , commerce law which will in the least detract from its main principle and purpose or diminish the authority it confers upon the agents of the people to protect their interests. Whatever changes it may receive must rather be to more strongly fortify the principle and enlarge the au- thority to carry it into effect. It took years of struggle against corporate in- fluence and wealth, unscrupulously and lavishly used, to secure the law,and the victory won by the people in its adop- tion established it asa part of the public policy which should be permanent. How the Election Will be Conducted. Mr. Andrew Bevins holds that the de- cision of the supreme court, which wipes out the entire election law for metropolitan cities, does not necessarily affect tho judges of election, who were appointed under the law before the supremeo court decision had been ren- dered. In other words, Mr. Bevins maintains that these judges, having ‘been appointed by the proper authorities before the law was declared void, may perform their functions at the election just as if the law had been sustained by the court. The BEE takes issue with Mr. Bevins. While we concede that an election conducted under the provi- sions of the law before it was declared unconstitutional would have been legal, we do not believe that officers of elec- tion, appointed under an unconstitu- tional law before an election have any authority whatever to act after the law has been declared void by the high- est judicial tribunal. There being now no special law governing elec- tions in metropolitan cities, the elec- tion in this city on the 8th of Novem- ber must be conducted under the general election laws the same as in any country precint. The county commissioners will have to appoint the judges of election. and if for any rea- sons these judges are not appointed, or fail to qualify on election day, the vot- ers prosent at the opening of the polls will elect the clerks and judges of elec- tion. Tnese officers will only be gov- erned by the general election law. The same law will govern as to tickets. Ia- stead of printing the state, judicial and county tickets on separato ballotsall the ofticers to bo voted for, from state down to precinct, will be on one ticket. All the proposed reforms in the methods of canvass, which were embodied in the new law, are a dead letter. The regis- tration listsare also practically worth- less. The poll-bocks and return blanks will have to be furnished by the county clerk, and the returns will have to be made to him as heretofore. This js our version of the decision, and we confi- dently believe it will be sustained by the best legal authorities. The Machine Wins. The returns from the municipal elec- tion in Baltimore make it probable that the regular democratic ticket has been elected, though by a considerably re- duced majority. The reform democrats and republicans charge that there was fraud in many of the wards of the city, notwithstanding the very careful pre- cautions that were taken, and they pro- fess to hope that they will be able to show this so conclusively as to yet defpat the machine. But there is very little likelihood that they can do this, The shrewd and unscrupulous politicians who manage the machine have not failed to count upon what might be ex- pected if they were BUCCOSS- ful, and therefore undoubtedly cov- ered their tracks so thoroughly as to be amply secure in their position. The reform elemont made a gallant fight, and the result only serves to show how difficult it is to dislodge a party that once gets a thorough grip on the polit- ical machine and has the skill and reck- lessness to manipulate it for all there is init. The reformers, however, have not hauled down their flag, nor are they hopeless. The battle for the state is still to be fought out, and they will push the reform cause with increased vigor to the end. But it seems clear that in losing the first contest where their chances of victory seemed best they are placed at a disadvantage, and in the degree that they lose prestige by defeat in Baltimore the regulars will gain it. There appears to be a substantial ground of hope before the Baltimore election that the coalition of republicans and reform democrats in Maryland would win, but there is none now. There is hardly a chance that the Gorman crowd will be defeated, a promise which even demo- crats everywhere who have regard for honest methods in politics ought to regret. POLITICAL affairs at Denver appear to be in an unfortunate condition. The Tepublican of that city sagely remarks that “‘there is no use in holding an elec- tion unless it is to be conducted hon- estly,” and then proceeds to urge the reorganization of the committee of one hundred in order that an honest election may be had. We infer from our con- temporary’s remarks that Denver is peculiarly afflicted with voters who buy and sell votes, and we regret to observe that it is not entirely confident that this nefarious practice can be wholly pre- vented even by the committee of one hundred. This indicates a state of political rottenness which puts Den- ver in a most unenviable position, and furnishes a reason for other communities to congratulate themselves that there is a depth of political depravity they have not yet reached. So far as we have observed Denver is the only city in the country which this year feels the necessity of having a special committee to look after its election. There are doubtless sev- eral o , however, in which such a committee could render good service. — 11 is very vare that a fund raised for a public celebration is found more than suficient for the purpose and the con- tributors get back a share of their cop- tributions. The rule s a deficit, as might be shiv: hy several notable in- stances that have occurred this year. A consplcuous exception is furnished in the enso of the constitutional centennial | celebration at Philadelphia, the citi- 7ens! committee having charge of the fund for that event being now engaged in returning to the subscribers fifty per centof theit subseriptions. The ex- planation of this unusual occurrence is found in the fact that some of the ex< ercises projected in connection with the celebration were abandoned, while cer- tain expenditures fell below the esti- mates of the committee. Still the oc- currence is so exceptional as to warrant passing attention and remark. The Farewell of the Birds. Leila 8. Taylor.

OMAMA, Oct, 27, 1887.—~At a meeting of electorsof the Third judicial district, held-on the 25th inst., and composed of members of both political parties, the undersigned were charged with tho duty of preparing an address to the peo- l!l(‘. setting forth the reasons which have induced them to support, at the coming election, the judicial ticket on which appear the names of Judges Wakeley, Groff, Hopewell and Doane. Impressed with thehdanger of making the judicial office a prize for the most shrewd, the most active or the most x\qulnr worker in_ party politics, and ully realizing the fact that to be both impartial and independent, a judge should be free from the entanglements arising out of partisan strife, the bar of the district met at the court house in Omaha some dnf'u prior to the period fixed for holding the judicial nominating convention. At that meet- ing, which was absolutely non-partisan Judges Wakeley, Groff and Ifo pewell atho first named being understood to be lemocratic in his views and the two others republican) were unanimously recommended for re-election, and o committee appointed to notify the nom- inating conventionsof this action. That committee met with a courteous recep- tion from the democratic convention, and their recommendation was adopted, Mr. W. A. Stow beingselected for the fourth place on the ticket. In the republican convention, how- ever, a motion to receive the bar com- mittee was defeated, and a delegation from the democratic tonvention sent to notify the republicans of its nominations met with no better fate. It is doubtful if any political convention in tho coun- try was ever before guilty of such gross discourtesy. The republican delegates nominated three gentlemen, who, whatever their qualifications may be, have had no ex- perience on_the bench, and somo of them but little at the bar. Of tho fourth, as he is on both tickets, it is un- nccossnrf' to speak. ‘We believa that all who have the wel- fare of this community at heart, who think that judges should bo ubovo party obligations and party bias, and above all, should be above pressing their own claims in caucusses, nominating con- vontions and political campaigns, will feel no hesitation in voting the clean and independent ticket pre- sented by the bar. Judge Wakeloy has been known to the voters of this dis- trict for thirty years. His career both at the bar and on the bench has been alike honorablo to himself and of ben- efit to the community among whom he has dwelt. He took the office in the first instance only at the unanimous re- quest of the lawyers of the district and by the npmintment of a republican gov- ernor. lour years ago he and Judge Neville, aropublican, were elected with- out contest by those whobelieved then as we believe now, that judicial elections should be free from partisanship. No whisper of suspicion against his ability has ever been breathed. Judges Groff and Hopewell have served since the last session of the legis- lature. In that period they have be- come known throughout the district, have devoted themselves assiduously to their duties and have shown thumsc{\'cs clean, impartial and industriousofficers; no mulhbflinF found with either of them unless by liti fnn'fl who may happen to have been defeated in their courts. The lamented death of Hon. W. A. Stow rendered the selection of another candidate in his place necessary; and in response to a very general expressed wish by lawycrs and others the Hon. George W. Doane has been selected for the fourth place on the ticket. Mr, Doane’s entire professional life has been spent in this district, and his legal ex- rince of over thirty years,his probity. his learning and industry are, we teel confident, sufficient guarantees that his career on the bench will be honorable to him and satisfactory to the district. It has been said that were democra in a large majority throughout the dis- trict they would nominate party men men and refuse to follow the.r action of a few days ago. But we suggest that the proper questiou for us to ask our- selves is not what would our enemies or opponents do in a given case; but, what is right? what is the best interests of the commonwealth? what would the purest and best men advise? If voters would ask thomselves these questions we have no fear of the result. That the ticket which we advocate will bo elected in the opinion of those who are best informed in_such matters is almost a foregone conclusion. But we hope for something more than mere suc- cess. We hope for a response to our appeal so general and s0 emphatic that political wire pullers, strikers, caucus lohbyists and all who seek to influence votes by unfair or dishonest means shall take warning that their machina- tions, if they aro allowed to exist at all, must be confined to ncn-{'udiclal offices; and that the soop e of the Third judicial istrict are determined that their min- isters of justice shall be, so far as their votes can make them, of clean hands, broad and impartial views, of learning and uprightness.

Vernona Jarbeau is not unknown in Omaha, but her first appcarance here as a star was made last night at the Boyd. She was greeted by a large and friendly audience. She endeavored to prove herself worthy of the reception, but the misfortune of a pain- ful hoarsness deprived her of her greatest charm. The announcement of her coming was coupled with the legend of ‘“Theo Out- done,” Theo, however, hus never appeared in this city, and a comparison between her efforts and those of Jarbeau consequently could be made only by a small number of the auditors. Miss Jarboau, however, is sufi- ciently gifted to build up a reputation for herself without endeavoring to destroy that of another. To an exc: nt voice she adds the advantage of training which enables her to satisfactorily render some of the most delightful compositions, while her manner has all the gaicty and abandon of the Par n. This she displays to advantage ouly in her solos, where she departs from the methods of the American soubrette, and in- dulges in the mannerisms wh have not yot beon uppropriated from the French stage. I the routine work of lh(“;hly U is it/ ! notable excellence in Miss Jarbeau's wo! ‘Phis is, perhaps, to be attributed more to the piece than to the lady’s ability, because HStarlight” Is unque nably the poores! made to-order effort w h has been credited 10 Maoder. Jarbeau is supported by a large company, most of the members of which do some very able-bodied sitting and standing around except when engaged in the vocal so- lections, which are rendered at frequent in tervals and with commendable success. the members it may be sai nearly all the ladies are blessed with boauly #nd possessod of sweet voices while mmong the gentlemen are several ox- ceflent singers, the- mora distingiished boing Mossrs, Rising and Daley. GIAND OFEKA HOUSE. Frink Linden appeared last night u$ this place in the ‘“Duke’s Motto." This is another nwne for Tobin's. “Honeymoon." The picce is & working-over of the “Tamiug of the Shrew.” The story is nou consistent with modern methods of attaining to marita felicity. Men, now-a-days, are not prone | marrying shrews and taming them ro dueing them to planes beneath the soclal. - lovel of cach of tho contracting patties, “Phero taming i8 found necessary, a8 o gonetal thing, love degenerates into hato, and hate leads to the dissolution of the matrimonial tio in the divorce court. The leading chate acters, the Duke Aranza and Juliaun, arey therefore, not likely to appeal strongl to an audionce, even when well played, They certainly failed of approciation as thoy played last night. With tho exception above taken, the “Honeymoon" has many redeem: ing qualities. Some of its characters are ad: mirahly drawn and the undercurrent of love which gradually bears the woman-railor, Rolondo, into the haven of matrimonial bliss, is most intoresting to follow. But tho suc: cessful presentation of the play is beyond the ability of the Lindon company. Nine Hours For Cornico Makers. The meeting of the cornice makers at Metz' hall last evening was well attended and enthusiastio. It was unammously do- cided to adopt nine hours for a day’s work instead of ten, and eight hours on Saturday. the pay to remain tho same as before—from 250t 8 por day.

Youth’s Companion: It has been re- marked that the farmers who best suce ceed iuthis countey are those who de- vote their chief attention to some one product which is favored by their spocial soil and climate. There is a county in Now Jersoy and a town in Michigan where farmers grow rich by raising a vegetyble so un- important #s celery. One regi Long Island thrives upon aspai parts of Delaware upon peaches: th gulf states upon cotton; Northern Vor- mont upon grass in its various forms of milk, butter, cheese and beef; northern New York upon potatoes transmitted into starch; Iowa upon corn condensed into pork and whisky, By concentrating his attention upona single product or class of products, and that product favored by nature, the furmer surpasses competitors in other places. There is aworld of secrets in- volved in the raising of a fine field of cabbages. 'Try one row of fifty plants, and you will wonder that any man ever succeeded in winning the victory over the acute, numerous and unslumbering rivals who dispute with you the possess sion of every leal. Tho special farmer must of necossity possess all the erudition of his specialty, and he succeeds because he does. man becamo rich on the Hudson by rais- ing onc variety of apples, the Newton ippin, which brought the 1 prico in lhu'opv and India. There are farmers in Virginia who gain a large rovenue by the raising of peanuts. To use the lan- guage of our informant, “They know peanuts all Lo pieces.” Ts it uot precisely the same in_all the avocatious of us mortals? An h lady, who hus been struggling for lifo in New York and Boston for six y ears as a writer, told her story the other day in the Woman's Journal. She failed be- cause she did not know how to do any one thing well enough. Soon after reaching New York she was offered 815 a week to work upon an encyclopedia, with a promise of $25 or #30 if she proved herself competent, For a month she worked for hersolf and children with the energy of des- peration, ouly to be told that her want of knowledge made her services uscless.
