COLBY announces in her Tom- an’s Tribunc that “Firth, Neb,, has an artillery battery composed of ladies.” It might be well for future political conventions to make a note of this fact. CHARLEY GREENE tried to climb the ladder of oratory after the manner of his more illustrious predecessor. But the convention pulled him down by the tails before he got beyond the fourth round. THE late Emperor Frederick was an author of considerable merit. e made a visit to Bgypt in 1876, on the occasion of the formal opening of the Suez canal, and on his return home wrote a book entitled **My Journey to the Orient.” A TELEPHONE line eight hundred miles long. from Marseilles to Pavis, has just been completed. Recent experi- ments with a thick bronze wire show that the human voice can thus be as easily heard a thousand miles as one. Tr begins to look as if the good things the obituary writers were ready to say concerning General Sheridan may be indefinitely postponed, for he is getting better. His mother sustained four such shocks and she only died last weelk, at the age of cighty-seven. LAND isan enthusiastic admirver of lawn tennis. It issaid that the president refuses to play.

CLEY TRAIN robbing in Texas and the southwest has recently assumed such prominence thatit may well bo classified as one of our *infant industries.” But strange as it may scem, that is the only industry not clamoring for **protection™ at the hands of congress. THe Canadians suggest that the pr idential campaign in the United States be made a war of the roses. That is, the democrats shall adopt the red rose, while the republicans wear the white rose. No. Let the democrats flaunt the red bandana; the stars and stripes are good enough for us. I is said that a great Mormon exodus to Mexico is taking place from Utah. This looks like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The Mexican people, with all their faults, take anything but Kkindly to polygamy. It will be a sorry fay for the Mormon bishops and elders i i udices. Coymr NER ATKINS, of the Indian bureau, has sent in his resignation to the president, which should be accepted without delay. Mr. Atkins has the senatorial bee in his bonnet and is al- ready making a canvass of Tennessee. In consequence the Indian service has been neglected and abuses have creptin during Mr, Atkins’ administration, THE extension of the eight hour law to letter carriers which goes into effect July 1, will involve, in the opinion of the pestmaster general, the employ- mentof at least one-fourth more than the present force at an additional expense of over a million dollars a year, This shows to what extent that arm of the civil service has been over-worked. The new law shortening the hours of Jabor is timely and just. Of all the faithful and important employes of the government, the letter carriers descrve mo less considerate treatment than is accorded to the other classes of public servants. 1r is claimed that the eastern trunk lines defiantly disregard the inter-state commerce law. From the evidence taken before the committee in New York last week it scems that the charge s true, Albert Funk, commissioner for the trunk lines, testified: *There are thousands of tricks by which the rail- roads violate the law and it is almost impossible to detect them, Rebatesare granted in the form of disguised allow- ances so artfully framed that infringe- ment Qf the law is most difficult to prove.” These wmonster corporations observe no law. that iwmpairs their shaunce to grab everything in sight. Angry Nebraskans. Thore is something rotten In the state of Nebraska as represented in the Chicago con- vention. Rosewater, of Omaha, is not the only angry protestant, Vario republican newspapers of the state record thelr opposi- tion to the delegation as 1t will enter the convention. The burden of complaint is that through the carelessness of the republican voters who did not attend the primaries a delegation was elected by a packed conven- tion whose leaders were the solicitors of three railroad corporations and whose mem- bers “‘are all picked railroad tools.” The averment is made that ‘‘the delegation does not at all represent the sentiment of Ne- braska’s people, but only the interests and orders of the railroad magnates If the people of Nebraska are in earnest in their opposition to corporate aggression, especially from railroads, they will not pin their faith to any hope of correcting what they call the packing whereby railroad tools are sent to the convention at Chicago. They will show their sincerity and good sense by letting the Nebraska delegation do its voting for Depew or any other railroad magnate or protege while they themgelves turn in and suppors Cleveland and Thurman.—Chicago Times. It is not necessary that the people of Nebraska shall support the democratic ticket in order to free themselves from corporate aggression. The remedy does not lie in that direction. The evi- dence is that the influence of the cor- porations is quite as potent with the democratic as with the republican party. We do not recall any instance in which the former has particularly distinguished 1tself by championing the interests of the people as against the corporations, The truth is there is not much to be hoped for from either party under oxisting conditions, since both seem to be about equally anxious not to offend corporate power. A committee of the democratic house of representa- tives has been since early in the session considering bills relating to the obliga- tions of the Pacific lroads to the government, but it is too cowardly to propose any action. There has been a great deal of talk in the same body about legislation for the regulation or suppression of trusts and similar mo- nopolistic combinations, but thus far 1t has amounted to nothing. The national democratic platform contains not a single line condemning corporate ag- gression. These facts give no assur- ance that anything is to be.expected from the democratic party for remedy- ing the abuses and cxactions of cor- porate power. The troublo is in the apathy of the people, and their readiness to be played upon and hoodwinked by the plausible, unscrupulous, ever-vigilant and ever- active emissaries of the corporations. But there has been a worse situation of affairs than exists to-day, bad as it was to allow ten representatives of the rail- road corporations to go to Chicago from Nebraska, and that blunder has effected an awakening that can hardly fail to bring some compensating results. The honest masses of Nebraska republicans will, we believe, be 1. indifferent and more active and vigilant hereafter in guarding their interests. And if they will courageously assert themselves they have the power to relieve the people from corporate aggression, In Case of a Deadlock. A deadlock in the national republican convention is not improbable. The sup- porters of the several candidates express a determined purpose to steadfastly ad- here to their first choice, and if this spirit is reaily as strong and earnest as it appears to be a long struggle is in- eyitable. Butdcadlocksmust be sooner or later broken, and if there shall be one at Chicago the interesting question is, upon whom may the nomination fall when the break comes? In theevent that after several daysof balloting it ghould be very clearly demonstrated that none of the men now prominent as possible candidates could get the nomination, what other dis- tinguished republicans are in reserve to some one of whom the convention might rally? It is doubtless the very general opin- ion that in such a ca Mr. Blair would receive the nomination. It is also a very common belief that the un- yielding friends of that leader in the convention will omit no effort to bring about a deadlock, with the idea of fore- g the convention to nominate Blaine. If there is such a plan we do not belicve it will succeed, We have no doubt a large majority of the members of the convention are thoroughly imbued with the fecling that it would be a grave injustice to Mr. Blaine to attempt to force the candidacy upon him. It is not his closest and truest friends who are insisting upon placing him in a false position before the country, and thereby embarrassing him and the purty. The men who will not see that by the explicit terms of his last letter Mr, Blaine could under no circumstances accept a nomination are not those who have had the best means of knowing him and can understand how he must regard such blind zeal, But it is the men who by reason of their intimate knowledge of Mr. Blaine have the best right to speak for him who will oxereise the largest influence upon the convention, and this will be exerted to have his plainly expressed will re- spected. We do not believe, therefore, that a deadlock would result in the nomina- tion of Mr, Blaine, although on the break he would doubtless receiye a con- siderable number of votes. There are several conspicuous and worthy repub- licans whose claims to consideration would grow into large proportions if the exigency of a deadlock should force at- tention to them. Ohio has two in MeKinley and Foraker, Illinois could offer Cullom, Kansas has Ingalls, New York could present Hiscock, and still the reserve of good men would not be exhausted. There is no reason why the republican party should force a nomination upon any one or select as its candidate & man under whom it would have to fight on the defensive, as would be the case, for example, with Depew as the standard bearer — The Virginia Oontest, The contest carried into the national convention by the republican fuctions of Virginia is to be regretted on several accounts. In the first place it has pro- duced some discord, the effect of which has perhaps beeu to ercate antagonisins that mey remain, It forbids the hope | of being able to unite the party in Vir- ginia for the next election. and thero- fore the idea of many republicans that there would bea fighting chance in that state this year must be abandoned. Tts determimation by the con vention cannot be satisfactory to all republicans outside of Virginia, and there will thus be fur- nished a cause for disaffection that may have a more extended ill effect than would now be supposed. The republican party needs perfect peace and harmony in its ranks. The contest was foreshadowed monthe ago. Such republican leaders in Vir- ginia as Wise and Brady long since de- clared a revolt against the autocratic domination sought to be maintained by Mahone, and they are men of such ability and character as to draw to themselves a large following from the better element of Virginia republicans. They had borne with the tyrannical and otherwise questionable methods of Mahone as long as it was possible to en- dure them. Last fall Congressman Brady publicly proclaimed his repudia- tion of Mahoncism, accompanying the announcement with some very ex- plicit and grave statements as to the course of Mahone. It was charged that he was not only un- trustworthy politically, but wanting in honesty in other respects, Mahone attempted a defense, but there were not a great many prepared to accept it. The better, though perhaps not the larger, class of republicans in Virginia followed the example of Wise and and the factional fight has been waged more or less flevcely ever since. It is not questionable that the repub- lican party in Virginia would be ve much better off if it were wholly free from the counsel and influence of Ma- hone. If there was ever a time when he had a just claim to its confidence, it has long gone by. He possesses good fighting qualities, but in all other re spects he 1s totally unfitted for leader, at least at this time. There is no more selfish politician in the country, and nonc more arrogant and tyrannical when successful. His character and methods are in no small degree respousible for the fact that Vir- ginia is now in democratic control, and it is hardly possible that it will be in any other so long as any considerable part of the republican party in the state supports Mahoneism., ————e A Serious Oharge. At the last meeting of the city council Mayor Broatch in a communication pr fers charges of collusion between c tain contractors and membersof the city government. In very plain terms the mayor asserts that undue influences have been brought to hear upon the board of public works to favor con- tractors as against the city. It is not likely that the mayor in- tended to convey the impression that members of the board had accepted money for their votes in behalf of con- tractors. THad that been the case he would have saidsoin plain terms. Inthe light of recent action of certaim council- men before the hoard, itisquite probable that the mayor is directing his shafts at them.

Thurs- been as an orator, his se- lection as temporary chairman was a grave mistake which ‘may react ser- iously on the party. The manly protest of Kansas in the open convention was an ominous warning that should have been heeded. But Kansas was not the only state to enter her disapproval. The very fict that in the committee John M. Thurston was saved only by the casting vote of Chairman Jones is the unmis- takable handwriting on the wall that west repudiates railroad interfer- But it was Catifornia which took the selection of John M. Thurston with alarm. The fact that this corporate yer had beaten her own candidate, if only hy a single vote, will be received on the Pacific slope as an indorsement of monopoly. These are the s s in the heavens which the Chicago convention can not fail to heed, The mutteringsof the tempest come from below the hori- zon, but the thunder was sufliciently distinet to warn the convention not to invite the deluge, BY the admission of Mr. Depew’s own organ, the Ml and Ecpress, his nom- ination by the Chicago convention would seriously endanger the party’s chances in California, Colorado, Towa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and Nevada. To this number must be added [llinois and Wisconsin, the loss of which would defeat the republican nominee, although Mr. Depew would be certain of the doubtful states—New York, Indiana and New Jevsey. It is folly therefore for the delegates of the sgranger states,” carvied away by the enthusiasm of the moment, o assurc My, Depew that *‘any republican can carry a republican state.” It is well to remember that delegates do not cavry the votes of their respective stutes in th pockets. It is & long time between now and the 7th of November, and the “granger states” would have plenty of leisure to think over the action of their too zealous dele: gates in nominating a railroad attorney for the presidency. —————— ONE hundred and ten railroads for May, 1888, show a gamn in gross earn- ings as compared with the correspond- ing month of last year.

Owmana, June 19.—~[To the Editor of Tne Be On Monday, June 11, 1888, my boy, aged seven s, was bitten by our neigh- bor's dog, who owns two very vicious and cross ones that have ‘been the the terror of the neighborhood. I ealled a physician who attended the child, and after cauterizing the wounds advised that the dogs should be killed. Iasked Mr. George Eichacker, who is the owner, that he kill the dogs. This he flatly refused, and has since then said that he would not kill his dog for any child. Not wanting to take tha law in my own hands, I then filed an information with the city attorney. I appeared beforo Judge Berka on the day and hour set for the tral with nine witnesses, all respectable citizens, all of whom had been attacked by these dogs, and who are anxious to have them Killed. We waited one whole hour for the defend- ant, and when the judge called the case, he, the defendant, had not appeared, the judge thereupon forfeited the bond of the defendant. I then emphatically protested that I did not want the bond for- feited, but that we wanted the dogs killed, as we did not want to run any more chances of being bitten. Judge Berka made light of the matter and said the owner, and not the dog, was sucd, and that I should file another in- formation, which I did, and the trial was sct for hearing Tuesday, June 19, 1858, at 10 . m.
