AVERAGE DAILY Total for the Week - THERE i8 a down-in-the-mouth look about our baseball standing when Kan- #as City is neck and neck with Omaha for second place. But for all that, we lead 'em on hog: JAY GouLp was doing quite favor- ably yestorday. He gave the stock- holders of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas the option of paying him his debt or of going without the road. WiHEN the Russians beg patroniz- ing the high-priced American sleeping curs just introduced on Russian rail- ways, they will learn that there are two autocrats in their country, the czar and the Pullmans. IN the presiden tial game of base ball it is the homo run which counts. Tt is a long way round from first buse to the plate, Mr. Cleveland, when such an awkward fellow as Thurman is at the bat to bring you in ety It is said that John Sherman does not know how to touch off the fire works of political enthusiasm, But that is be- cause ho has not had a fair chance. Just let him get his fingers on the match, and the heavens will be red with sky rockets, Tz anarchists are about to bring an injunction suit to restrain the democrats from infringing upon their vested rights, Thoey claim that they are the only original “‘reds” in the country, and therefore the waving of the red bandana is a spurious imitation. SALT and lumber have passed the muster of the house and are put on the advance guard of the free list. With wool and ivon bringing up the rear, the tariff reduction will be welcomed by the manufacturer who has clamored for free raw materials these many years, T0 measure the popularity of **Buffalo Bill” in New York City by the amount of enthusiasm he creates whenever he is soon on the streets, one would imagine that he is a candidate for the prosi- dency. Nevertheless Nebraska is pleased to see so many favors showered on her “favorite son.” IN Massachusetts several woolen and worsted mills at ‘Lowell, Lawrence, Springfield and other cities are being enlarged in anticipation of the increas- ing demaid for American goods. This does not look asif Massachusetts woolen men feared the ruination of thoir busi- Wiess by the passage of the Mills bill. —_— GILLIG'S American exchange in Lon- don which failed rpoently has passed through the ordgal of the English courts, and its affairs will be wound up by the well known operatic manager, Colonel Mapleson. If the colonel proves as officient a banker as he has an im- pressario, the creditors can whistle for their deposits, r—— Tue gross earnings of the soventy- five lending railrouds have just been made public for the month of M: which show an increuse of over 5 per cont ns compared with the correspond- ing month af last year, This is a silent rebuke tothe caviling of railvoads that the prosent transportation rates are ruining them, e Ir 18 very singular that the council has up to this time failed to come to an understanding with the gas company to tho current bills for gas furnished from month to month. As a business proposition the city should have all these bills properly pre- sented at the end of each month, the same as private consumers. The bills should be certified to by the gas inspecior and placed among the current expenses in the general ap- propriation ordinances. If the ygas company Claims a different rate from that established by ordinance, the sooner its right to charge a higher rate is tested in the courts the better. These gas bills have been a source of orimination and recrimination for the last two years, and the soomer a test cuso {s carried into the courts, the bet- ter it will be for all converned. The Inter-State Law Amendments. The operation of the inter-state com- merce lnw has in the main justified the wisdom of {ts onactment. It has cor- rected,as Senator Callom pointed out in his speech in the senate on Tuesday, many of the evils that existed before its passage. Some of the greatest hardships suffered by certain localities under the 0ld systom of arbitrary discrimination have been removed. Had the railronds acoepted the law in good faith at the outset, and sought to conform to its re- quirements a8 common carriers, its operation would unquestionably have given greater satisfaction and bene- fit to the people than it has done. But this the railronds did not do. On the contrary, they com- bined to thwart the law and to render it as odious as possible to the publio. They had a partial success for a time, but as the people grew to understand the prin- ciple of the law and the necessity there was for such regulation as it contem- plated, the policy inoreased in public favor, and it is rare now that any popu- lar objection to it is heard. Having failed to array the public against the law, the railroad managers put all their ingenuity to the test to find methode of evading its provisions. The operation of the law had in fact been no disadvamtage to the railronds 80 far as their earnings were concerned. In the case of nearly every road in the oountry these were increased after the law went into effect, Butthere scemed to be a common feeling among the corporations that the policy of regu- lation and restriction must be resisted, and when the conspiracy by combina- tion failed, most of the roads sot about evading the law in their own way. It is well known that they have been largely successful in this. Favored shippers have been given the advantage of soveral days’ notice in advance of a reduction of rates, under- billing has been widely prac- ticed, and in other indirect und roundabout ways the purpose of the law has been defeated. Intelligentmen are not disappointed at this and do not think less of the principle of the law be- cause of it. Thoy understood that the act was necessarily to some extent an experiment, that no human wisdom could frame a raeasure of this character which would operate per- fectly on the first trial, and they knew also that the corporations would take all possible advantage of every defect. It was expocted that sev- eral years of experience with the law would be necessary to render it invul- nerable to the evasive devices of the corporations. On the whole the re- sults under it have been much more satisfactory than was anticipated by most of its advocates. In their report to congress the com- mission made very few recommendations as to changes in the law, but develop- ments since have pointed out clearly the necessity of certain amendments, the most important of which have been submitted in a bill now before the sen- ate. The chief of these is directed against the practice of underbilling, by which goods that would come under one classification are entered under a Ibwer classification—a de- vice nolessreprehensible than that of re- bates and other like forms of diserimin- ation. Another proposed amendment is to require three days’ notice of a re- duction of rates, the law as 1t stands not requiring any notice. This it is thought would lessen the practice of evading the law by giving favored shippers secret notice of intended reductions,and would result in & greater stability of rates. Still another contemplated amendment isto extend the penalty for unlawful discriminations to imprisonments as well as to fines. It is quite probable that if railroad managers should have to face the possibility of imprisonment for violations of the law they would reflect more seriously before acting, while simply the risk of a fine that did not touch their own pockets would have no deterrent effect upon them. These amendments are clearly neces- sary. They would strengthen the law and give it greater respoct. They doubtless do not provide all that is re- quired to perfect the law. It isto be expected that further experience will develop other defects and the necessity for additional amendments and changes. But those proposed aré in the right di- rection and there should be no question as to their adoption at the present ses- sion. Meanwhile the principle of the law is no longer seriously assailed, and even the corporations doubtless under- stand that the people will not now per- mit it to be abandoned The Depew Movement. Thero is nothing surprising in the announcement that the Colorado dele- gation to Chicago is drifting toward Depew. It has been apparent for some time that the same influences wh were at work in Nebraska were oper- ating in Colorado, and it was to be ex- pected that the results would be simi- lar. That they are so is conclusive evidence of the widespread political activity of the corporations and of their combined purpose to push Depew on the republicun party as its presidential candidate, As in this state, so in Colorado, the leader ef the Depew movement is & railvoad attorney who aspires to the United States senate, He has given recent evidenoe that he is unscrupulous enough to do anything in politics, and is, there- fore, quite the sort of man to faith- fully do the bidding of the corporations, In Colorado as in Nebraska the Depew boomers misrepresent the great body of republican voters, and if the corpora- tion candidate should he successful in getting the nomination at Chicago there would certainly be such a republican re- volt in Colorado asmight give that state to the democracy. This is plainly indi- cated by the Denver Republican, which says that ‘‘unless the better element of the republican party has the sense and courage to drive the corporation tools out of power, & revolution is imminent that may work disaster to the party as well as the railrods,” - Thére is but one plain duty for the honest republicans of both states in the cvent of the success of the corporation scheme to make Depew the republican onodidate for president, und that is to nominato and oast their vote for republiean electors pledged not to vote for the corporation candidate. Depew cannot obtain the nomination hy honest and straightforward methods. It will be impossible for his friends to oohvince a majority of the delogates at Chiongo that he is the most available man for the candidate of the party. If he is nominated, therefore, it will be due to the corrupting methods of the corporations, and every honest and true republican will owe it to himself and to the common interest to repudiate such o candidate. It is shown that THR BrEr was right in giving no credibility to the reports that Depew had decided to withdraw from the field. He hasentor- tained no such thought, nor will he un- il confronted by such an overwhelm- 1ngly adverse sontiment that he cannot help seeing the hopelessness of his am- bition. Tt is the imperative duty of the republioans of the west to make this sontiment heard before and during the convention. There has been no time in the history of the party when finan- ces and courage wore more needed than at this juncture to thwart the designs of the corporation anaconda that is coil- ing itself with deadly embrace around the party. No groater danger confronts the people of this country than thatof enthroning in the high places of the nation the creatures of the railroad cor- porations. Already they are in the halls of congress and on the bench of the federal supreme court. They are not yet, however, all- powerful. But place one of them in the presidential office, with all its great power and patronage, and what would the interests and rights of the people be worth? It is this mighty stake for which the corporationsare now playing, and they will spare no effort to avin. Livery consideration affecting the inter- ests of the people, the welfare of the nation, and even the security of our in- stitutions, demands that this desperate and unscrupulous conspiracy shall be defeated. P TrE police force should be given credit for all meritorious work. The too common practice is to condemn all shortcomings and withhold commenda- tion when it is deserved. In the mat- ter of the daylight robbers now in cus- tody the police seem to have done good work, assuming them to be the right men, of which thers appears to be no doubt. There is evidence of persistent vigilance and industry in ferreting these rascals out, and the result is most satisfactory. It is a warning to the thieves of the country that Omaha has a police force which is disposed to do its duty and cannot be safely trifled with. Such a warning has been needed. A JURY at Nebraska City gave large damages to & citizen who sustained a broken leg in consequence of a defective sidewalk. Tt is a wonder that such suits are not of almost daily occurrence in Omaha. Ina walk of an hour not less than twenty dangerous places in side- walks can be found on the most traveled thoroughfares. Throughout the city there are doubtless a hundred such places. The dereliction of the sidewalk inspector is simply culpable, and that official should either be compelled to do his duty or be replaced by some one who has the conscience to earn his salary. THERE are several sections in the city building ordinance relating to un- safe buildings, dangerous rookeries, and the like, and also a section requiring the superintendent of buildings to in- spect and condemn all such death-traps. In view of the fact that Ja certain five- story building in the city hasa dan- gerous habit of swaying and tottering to the imminent peril of its fifty occu- pants ‘every time a heavy wind comes up, it is the manifest duty of the sup- erintendent of buildings to see to it that the building is put in a'safe con- dition, or forthwith pulled down. THE sound financial rating which Owmaha enjoys among eastern capitalists and bankers was illustrated by the ad- vantageousdisposal of 200,000 worth of 5 per cent bondsbv City Treasurer Rush. Ttis certainly a high compliment to our integrity when a premium of 4% per cent amounting to 38,267 was paid as bonus for this block of securities. There are very few cities in the country which are able to borrow money on terms as favorable as these. Moreover, it has become proverbial in the markets that an Omaha city bond is as good as a gov- ernment bond at any time. Sourn OMATA passed the high water- mark Tuesday in the receipt of hogs. It was the heaviest shipment for any one day in the history of the yards. The number received was 18,000, At Chi- cago the receipts were 15,000, This places South Omaha second only to Chicago as a hog market. Since June 1 the daily receipts exceed those of Kan- sas City, which assures South Omaha a permanent lead over the former city. What is more encouraging the market Kkept up its prices in spite of the heavy receipts and that at the close of the day all the hogs were sold. E——— Tue manufacture of heet sugar has becowe one of the leading industries on the continent, and it is a matter of surprise that so few attempts have been made in this country in that dirvection. If the manufacture of beet sugar can be profitably carried on, Nebraska would be an admirable field for raising sugar beets: and for the manufacture of beet sugar. The ex- periment ought to be tried at least. If successful, a new and important addition would be made to our indus- tries. em———— CHICAGO has been having trouble with her gas trust, and the difiiculty was dragged into court, where the city was evidently getting the best of it. But for some inexplioable reason the prosecution has dragged, and the tongues of the city council and princ pal wituesses have suddenly become paralyzed. It is hinted that the trust stuffed somebody’s mouth with “soap.” Sr—— Not a Oandidate. Philadelphia Press.

It1s no wonder that politics are rot- ten when the only men who could improve the condition of the political system show such a criminal apathy in regard to public matters, These very men are the ones who most vociferously cry out against the evils which exist, and snceringly shrug their shoulders at the mere mention of the name “politician.” They go abroad and decry republicanism su foreign countries, They toady to aristocracy and pride themselves that they have never soiled their hands in political mire.

Love, hate, piety —call it pugnacity if you will-~brave, truv, insensible to danger, a profound bellever in @icstiny was this groat modern hero, Aotors by the seore have enucavared to portray his chaacter in a manner Which sionld cor- reotly indicate this man, but have fajled Only threo have succeeded. ot rest commanded tho admiration the dramatic world in = his time, poor John McCullongh followed him with a 10 l6as marked dogreo of sucoess until the [)rhn dutmgnr overtook him, and now comes owning who equals {f not excels his two {1 lustrious predecessors in this rolo. Downin on the sufc in delineating the principal evonts in this great ohieftain’s history is not Downing, he is Spartacus. Every trait in the Throcian's character stands out promi- nent, From the blood-thirsty barbarian, Illmllng for revenge,ho is transformed on tho nstant to the man in whose breast boats a heart In sympathy with the sorrows of others. From the flerce warrior on the bat- tlefield where courage reigns supreme and where human 1ives cotnt as naught, ore innocent babes and women are offorea as free sacrifices to the bloody thirst of the ter- rible god of war, to the loving husband and father whose sole hope is for the welfa of those he loves; this is Spartacus; this is Downing. Further com- ment s utnnecossary. Nor is he alono in this great production. He is admirably supported, and the company which surrounds him would do oredit to Julius Cawsar the greatest of Shakespere's works, The Phas- arious of Clay Ulements is a splendid piece of work and the death scene in the last act may be equalled but never excelled. Mr. Hot- man’s Crassus is also an effort of the Hnest character., Miss Farle as Sonona, the wife of Spartacus, may have had equals in her class but certainly no superiors, while the Julia of Miss Henrietta Crossman s ns near perfection as is possible. The remamder of the company are deserving of special men- tion also but space forbids. Added to the superb work of the troube is that which goos to make a rendition of a work of this kind successful, is the maguificent scenery. Nothing has been seén on the stage of Boyd's that approaches it. The listener. as he views the varied scenes, forgats that he is in an opean houso, but imagines that he is in Rome. What more ndea be sald. The play at the hands of the PFEEANT company 1s & suo- oess. Yes, more than a success. Re-Elcoted.

Their Usefulness Shown by a Parisian Wedding-Present Robbery. At a wedding recently in a. fashiona- able up-town residence, a New York Graphic representative saw two of In- spector Byrnes’ men and two more from the Wilkinson agency, The four were in [full-dvess suits, gloved, patent- leathered and with buttonhole bouguets. No one could have distinguished them from the crowd of fashionable guests. They were nover together, but some one of the four was coutinually present in the room where the presents of the bride was spread out for the delectation and delight of her friends “Is this usual?” whispered the re- porter to the sharp-eyed, mild-faced wman from Wilkinson’s. “I should say so,” was the veply. “If some guard were not kel)t, oyer those articles they would. be liable to disap- pear very promptly. The last police story from Paris would show just how necessary this supervision is. Shall I tell it to you? x The daughter of the Marquis of Vaul- serre was married in the hotel of Baron de Wendel, her uncle, with a reception which all fashionable Pavis attended. The reception was an open one, and the hundreds present thronged the second salon in which the wedding presents were exhibited. A high Catholic dig- nitary, Monsignor Favin, having beer announced, the throng crowded into the first salon to see him. *‘After the commotion caused by the arrival of the prelate had subsided one of the ladies of the house returned to the second salon for the purpose of showing the presents toa newly arrived friend. The splendid diamond neck- lace, the most beautiful and costly of the exhibit, was gone. The loss was soon buzzed through the assemblage, and a cold silence fell upon the guests. People looked at each other half in amazement and half in suspicion. All were in_perplexity and confusion, for among those present were many whose faces were familinr by reason of their being seen in many life gatherings, hut whose names and position in society were little known. In the suspens there was some talk of closing the doors and keeping the people together until the ndvent of the police. Some suggested thorough search, but nothing of the sort was attempted. The marquis of Vaulserre and Baron de Wendel, however, stood at the hall door and scrutinized ouch departing guest. Nothing suspicious having been developed the police we sent into the second salon to invest gate, but they discovered nothing cx- cept some reason to conclude that the necklace and its pendants were 100 large to have been taken away b; man unless he wore a great cout perpetrating the theft. No man so at- tired was admitted to the second sulon, therefore, they concluded that the jewel was stolen by a woman, who hid it among her voluminous skirts and passed unnoticed amid the guests, “The police have made no progress since in elucidating the crime further than to surmise that it was perpetratod by three English women, who were seen loitoring at the door when the wedding party arrived from the church and the veception began. They wore sufficiently well attired to be admitted without challenge, and made the most of their opportunities when the erowd deserted the second salon for a_ sight of the dis- tinguished prelate. If the host had taken the precautions that American contlemen generally take and empioyoed etectives to watch the jew the loss could not have occurred.” -~ Decay of Teeth The decay of American teeth, and to some extent the loss of teeth of all civil- ized races, has been accounted for by the ablest English authorities on the soore of the heavier draughts made by the brain on our general physical and nerve systems. It is supposcd that the force that would be applied 10 repairing the teeth is used elsewhere. Dut it is known that the matevial of the teeth is among the least perishable of all the parts of the body, and it seems hardl probable that for’ ihe abovo cause th should chiefly fail. Dr. Pohlman now answers that they decay from lack of use. Auimal teeth are held in perfect order in proportion to the use of natural food, Feed a cow slops and she will lose her teeth; feed her grass and hay, and she will retain thom 1o old age. It is therefore not improbable that Pohlman ght, and our toothlessness follows the introduction of soft fouds that need little or no mastication. SIDEWALKS of OMAHA. SOME PERTINENT REMARKS CON.
