In spite of his offorts, democratie harmony will he so full of The Benet Olrcular, A new light has just been shed on the civil service reform pretenses of the wdministration which must be especially interesting to the mugwump allies of the democracy, It is the discovery that more than two years ago a confidential circular was sent by General Benet, chief of ordnance, to the commanding officers of the armories and arsenals of the government, requiring them in em- ploying versons to give preference to democrats, and applying this rule to women and children, as well as to men, [t appears that this or- der has been faithfully observed by the officers to whom it was addressed, and that consequently the rmories and arsenals are pretty much I democratic in the political character of their e Not only were men known to be republicuns dismissed and their pla filled by democrats of un- donbted loyalty, but women and children were thrown out of employ- ment to make places for the faithful, Of course this order was not made without the knowledge and concurrence of Seeretary Endicott, who has been re- garded as perhaps the model eivil service reformer of the cabinet, and it is hardly to be supposed that it was is- sued without the knowledge and con- sent of Mr. Cleveland. No chief of a bureau would dircet a policy of this kind on his own responsibility, and it is not the habit ot army officers to mix in politics in this way, We know nothing about General Benet's political opin- ions, but whatever they may be he very likely was personally unconcerncd whether repnblicans or demoerats were employed in the armorics and avsenuls, Unqguestionably, therefore, this order was inspived, the source of inspiration being at least as high in the adminis- tration as the secretary of war, with every probability that the president knew all about the matter and gave 1t hi approval. The statement of Gen- al Benet that the order was made hy divection of the secr of war will not he questioned. Therce can be no doubt that this order and what has been done in pursuance of it was a violation of the ecivil service tew. This will cause no concern to dem- ocrats, who will rather be glad to find that the administration has been co- vertly doing what it could to reward its, and that while professing s from Can- ives of many an Ameri- up and down the Mis- se of the trust ques- has been made, and this is the testamentary dis- position of property. There arc now York which have not been divided among the heirs, but are managed as a trust by a business man who reccives a heavy salary for the work. There is the Goelet trust, there is the Astor trust, and there is the Vanderbilt trust. It has been computed that more than one-half the dwelling houses of that great metropolis belong to three es- tates, Trinity parish and the Goelet and Astor trusts. The amount of the se- curities comprising the Vanderbilt trust, managed by Chauncey Depew, is making a total of nearly two handred millions were distributed and the remainder was leit ed people are of opinion that the sum so disposed of was not short of three hundred mil- lions. It can veadily be seen that to throw euch enormous masses of securi- ties or of real estate on the market as are comprised in the three trusts men- tioned would e suicidal. And yet the formation of these trusts i8 opposed to that law of redistribution of pioperty which is so necessary to the well being devotion to reform principles heen dark and in secret to defeat . But what must the independents who have maintained that the administration was sincere in its professions of reform think of this diselosure of hypoerisy and deception ? ll will puzzle Mr. Curtis and his asso- es of the reform league to find any excuse ormpology for this order, which is the most flagrant and indefensible example of using the spoils for reward- ing pa 15 that has ever been made public in this country. Tt is understood that to-day Senator Hale will bring this order to the attention of the senate and ask for an investigation. Tt isa proper subject of congressional inquiry, and it is desirable that the responsibility for the order shall be fixed where it be- longs. Prohibition in the Doubtful States. Everybody understands that the pro- hibition vote is largely drawn from the republican party, and that wherever it has increased the republican vote has almost correspondingly decreased. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut might not be doubtful states if it wer not for the prohibition vote. Four y ago the prohibition vote in New Yor was twenty-five thousand, which was in- creased two years ago to thirt thousand. This vote in New Jer six thousand four years ago and nearly twenty thousand two years ago, when General Pisk ran for govern The prohibition vote of Connecticut four years ago was about twenty-five hun- dred, and it had nearly doubled two years ago. It is thus seen that in all these doubtful states prohibition prin- ciples have been steadily gaining ad- herents, which coming chiefly from the republicans has tended to muke theso states still more doubtful, The prohibition party is very active this year in all these states, but not- withstanding this republicans are hope- ful that the prohibition vote will e perience a falling off, as it did at the late elections in both Vermont and Maine. It is believed, and not unreasonably, that while the prohibitionists in the doubtful states are as deeply attached to their party now as at any pr time, a gr many of them will con- clude that as the tarift problem must be determined in November, and in any event prohibition is for future determi- nation, it is thoir duty to vote with one of the political parties—that while not abandoning their principles, they will hold them in abeyance in order to at- tond w the morve immediately pressing cconomic question. Whatever number shall decide to do this, the majority of them will of course cast their vote with the republicans, There are indications that in New York and Conuecticut there will be a very considerable ion of prohibi- tionists to the republicans, but it is ex- pected that in New Jersey the prohibi- tionists will hold their own. Their presidential candidate is of th and he is exceedingly popular with his home people. It is quite possible, how- ever, that his recont avowal that he is in favor of protection may have an in- fluence to induce a number of the pro- hibitionists to vote with the republi- cans. The diversion of two orthree thousand of these voters would make New Jersey a republican state, As tho situation stands, the prohibi- tionists appear to hold the balance of power in all these doubtful statcs, and the probable vote of that party is conse quently a matter of commanding inte est. As we have said, thoy are pushing their campaign vigorously, but the in- dications are that they are not adding to their gtrength, and it 1s o r nable hope that a considerable number of them will see their duty to vote with the republicans in November. -5 vious state, SINCE the Wahoo encampment thers has been much said for and agaiust the anvual dress parade of the state militia. Viewed purely from the taxpayers swndpm.‘.‘ the appropriation of seventy thousand dollars for militia expenses in 1887-88 is u piece of extravagance. The last legislation simply opened the sluice ways for spending the people’s money, and paved the way for a larger appro- priation next winter. The taxpayers of Nebraska ve no money to throw away on an annual division brigade encamp- ment where a staff of gold-laced officers goin for a high old time, while the privates are starved on coffee and bacon. The whole business is a farce. There isno necessity of bringing men and their trappings five hundred miles to an annual encampmept at great ex- pense when each company ecan go into eamp for a week or two at home to better advantage. Neb has little to fear from foreign invasion, and there is no prospect of an Tndian wa The brigade field drill at Wahoo was a waste of time and money. There may be oceasions when the mili- tia will be called out to quell riots or to protect property. For such purposes well drilled companies only are effec- tive. The truth of the matter is, there is o great deal of ghow in the present system. Nebraska wants a good militia, but she cannot afford to support a corps of tinsel soldiers demoralized by huge annual approp. THE unexpected visit of a number of prominent members of the Winona, Minn., board of trade to Omaha was an agreeable surprisce, and one highly ap- preciated by our citizens. It calls to our attention the interest which the cities of the northwest are entertaining for a move intimate commercial rela- tion with Omaha, They are anxious to establish a close and direct communics tion with us, and they are devising the waysand means by which this can be brought about. It is plainly to be scen that o railroad direct Irom the lumber and flour centers of the northwest to the g y of Nebraska, rich in corn and cattle, will be mutually beneficial. The extension to Omaha of the Winona southwestern railroad is destined, fore, to be of great importance. It 1s o bee line. We are brought into the heart of the Minnesota wheat ficlds and the pineries of Minnesota and Wisconsin. It means cheape lumber and flour for ehraska. 1t opens another channel for the ship- ment of our packing house products to the seaboard by way of the great lakes., It will make Omaha igs distribut- ing depot. Moreover, if it be true, that this new line, when completed. is aconnceting link in the Delaware & I ystem, it brings to Ne- hrg rful trunk line which would actively compete for traflic to the Atlantic seaboard. \s JUDGING from the majority report of the Utah commission just presented to the seeretary of the interior, there is little hope for the aamission of that ter- ritory as a state for the present at least. In the opinion of the commission the Mormon church is committed secretly, if not openly, to the practice of polyg amy, and the Mormon people still manifest by their acts that they have not abandoned polygamy in good faith. The commission recommends that an energetic enforcement of the laws should be continued, as should also the political disabiliti STATE AND TERRITORY. Nebraska Jottings.
