IT 18 singular that we get so little news from New Orleans and Fernandina i western Florida. The days go by and we hear nothing of them, and the suspense to those who have friends in New Orleans must be hard tobear. The latest news was that the battery of the United States artillery stationed at New Orleans had been removed to New York City, simply as a precautionary measure. There can be no doubt that it was a proper order, but it is caleu- lated to create alarm, THE resignation of T. B. Barry from the general executive board of Knights of Labor is not an affair of much mo- ment, for that organization has un- doubtedly grown in strength during the past tweive months and is outliving the causes of weakness that nearly broke it up last year. His attack upon Powderly will be relished, however, for the chair- man has not fulfilled the expectations that were once formed of him, and it is the opinion of many good judges that he is a weak, wavering oreature with- out convictions of his own, and rather a Agurehead than a leader. | among ull ¢ L No. obf | The Governor and Submission, The desparate porsonal warfare which domocrats ate wiging against Gove o the present camy far 1y or ed sympathy is, b rious defection among the n citizens who tiously opposed to temper tion by reason of the d by democratic th regard to the power of the g nor to assist or defeat the prohibitory amendment., porters of John A, Mes lating dan y con 1 gisla- nee | npos aders and or passa The sup- surd s is committed by the form to T v ment, while Meshane is pledged to de- feat such a proposition by his acts, The that the torly to prevent > rof a \pprove a fnor s powerl constitutional amendment by 17 of the constitution wds as follows: of rbhranch of the legislature to this constitu- tion, and if the same be agreed to by three-fifths of the members elected to exch house such proposed amendments shall b Lon the journal with the yeas and nays, and published at least once cach week in at st one per in each county where anewspaper is published for three months immedi- ately preceding the nextelection of sen- ators and representatives, at which election the 1 he submitted to the electors for approval or And 1f a majority of ¢ such election adopt such amenc the same shall become a part of donstitution Now, the voto power of the governor is defined by the constitution in article 5, section 15, as follows: Lvery bill passed by the legislature before it becomes a law, and every order, resolution or vote to which the concur of both houses may ned (except on questions of ad- journment), <hall be presented to the governor. 1If he aj he shall gn it, and thereupon it shall bhecome law; but if he do approve, he shall return it with his objections to the house in which it shall have originated, which house shall enter the objections at large upon its journal, and proceed to recon- sider the bill. If then three-fifths of the members clected agree to pass the same, it shall be sent together with the objections to the other house by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by three-fifths of the members elected to that house, it shall become a law, notwithstanding the objections of the governor.” In other words, it tnkes threo-fifths of the membe cted to each branch of the legislature to submit an amendment to the constitution, and the governor’s veto can be overruled by a vote of threc- fifths of the legislature. Where then has the governor any influence in de- feating a constitutional amendment? In ordinary bills, where only a majovity of the members elected is securo their passage, the governor place a fatal obstruction in their way by aveto. But suppose he does veto a proposition to submit a prohibitory amendment? If the submissionists can muster three-fifths in each house, they will overrule the gove the endment over his head. What more could McShane do in such an emergency to defeat submission than Governor Th ) may propose amendments en newv rejection, tors voting at nt, this cnce be we, rmor by passing Mr. Thurman's Compliments, It has not been the habit of Allan G. Thurman, during his long political ca- reer, to indulge in fulsome praise of in- dividuals. He has talked in as vigo ous language as any man of his time in defense of his party and its principl on all occasions showing himself in th respect o most loyal and carnest parti- san. And never for a moment has sincerity been questioned. But in the past he never exhibited anything of the nature of sycophancy, never descended to personal adulation, never dropped to the work of the mere politician in paying homage to individuals. Neither Seymour nor Tilden, great demo- crats though they were, Mr. Hancock, splendid soldier though he was, re- ccived from the tongue of Mr. Thur- man any word to exalt them in popular csteem. In the campaigns in which they were leaders the veteran Ohio statesman was content to deal with principles and allow those leaders to stand before the country on their merits. But Mr. Thurman has departed from this honorable practice, and we now hear him giving fulsome p to the head of the democratic ticket, albeit less worthy of it than either of the dis- tinguished party leaders to whom rendered service in the last quarter of a cen- tury. He speaks of Mr. Cleveland being “'so sensible, so level headed,” a man who “makes no mistakes,” and whose political success has been caused not by luck but by good scnse. It isim- possible, in reading this sort of en- conium from Mr. Thurman, to feel that he is entirely honest and sincere in ut- tering it. ot only is it unlike him when in his best estate of intellectual vigor, himself a great and trusted leader, but it stultifies the opinion he is kuown to have long entertained of Mr. Cleveland, and which caused him to be counted among the democrats most un- friendly to the administration. For more than two years whatever ex- pressions could be deawn from bim re- garding the president were unfavorablo and denoted apprehension for the future of the democracy under such a chief. The *“Old Roman”, in common with Tilden, Hewitt and other old party leaders, had been ignored by this sud- denly risen leader, and with all their love and loyalty for their party the) could not conceal their displeasure and their fears. Tilden died believing, there is not a doubt, his party had griev- ously blundered, Hewitt is doing and will do nothing to promote Cleveland's re-election, because he has no faith either in his wisdom or his gratitude. Thurman called again into service for the use that could be made of him, not only forgives the neglect of the past, but goes out of his way to laud the aman who had no use four ycars ago for his experience and wisdom. The fact will not strengthen the re- he \ rior | | influences w gans | | épect which men of all partios b tertaingd for: the honesty and of Allan G, Thurman, Jt iz an ¢ that he is nat above the dete iich the promlse r exerts on the great It st that those wve him the title of the have become vulnerable. n an the pow it to change the convictions and « ience of a man nd unfor- tu y for Mr. Thurman it is the one which his service to his party in this campaign can do it no good. — Quay Puzz The plan of campaign which Chair- man Quay of the republican natio committee is pursuing puzzles and p plexes the democratic mar They are daily made conscious of its results, but they cannot hiton asuecessful way to combat it. They know there is a great 1 of vigor in it, nggressive though quict, but how to anticipate and defs its objects is the perplexing question. In such civcumstances it is quite natural that the democratic ovgans should 5 the story that the republican national committee is having re- course to all sorts of unworthy mes to win votes, and that their plan of campaign is essentiully and demoralizing. body understood s made chairman lican 1 al commi because he is a shrewd and experienced politician, who believes in hard and earnest work rather than in talk and bluster. ITe was distinctly the man to pit against Brice, who knew very little of practical politics, and who was certain, by 1 son of his ambition for mnotori- ety, to make a loud and noisy display. The progress of the cam- paign thus far has shown that the estimate of the two men was right. Mr. Quay has gone along with his arduous task quictly and carnestly, with every indieation of excellont results, e has not been boasting, he has sought no noteriety in interviews, he has simply worked very hard and without any sort of bravado or display. Mr. Brice, however, received the expressive title of “‘rainbow chaser’ before he had been a month in the service, and so far as appears he has done hittle else than to justify thisunique appellation. But democratic fault-finding with the “still-hunt” method of the chairman of the republican national commit- tee does not come with a good grace in view of the fact that the method is of democratic origin, and so recent to be clearly remembered by everybody who can recall the campaign of 1876, It was the politically ingenious brain of M. Tilden that gave to American pol- itics the campaign literary burcau and the still-hunt plan, and no democrat who respects the memory of that skill- ful political man: will find fault with the republicans for adopting these devices, if indeed they have done so. The fact is, however, that the democ- racy have discovered that their “educa- tional” campaign is not proving as profitable as they expected, in fact has operated steadily to their disadvantage, and they would iike if possible to make a diversion. begin too late. The vepublican plan of campaign has been very satisfactory, and it will unques- tionably be pursued to the end, idenee orating of vlace majority qualities 0ld It is v of political Roman way in er Quay v that Senntor of the repub- as ishop N ty reception given to Bishop John P. Newmon upon his arrival in Omaha will meet with a responsive ocho from our people. Many outside of the lines of the great denomination over which the bishop is ealled upon to preside in thisstate feel a pride in the reputation of the elergyman and orator who has chosen Omaha as his residence. Bishop Newman is a broad-gauge citi- zen of the republic, aliberally educated gentleman and a speaker who has neve failed to raise his voice in behalf of the right side of the pressing probiems of the time Mis conception of the preacher been that of the teacher, and he has never been able to divorce in his mind the clergyman from the good citizen inter- ested in everything that pertains to the forwarding of human welfare, Yor this reason the people of the state as well as the Methodists of Nebraska are to be congratulated upon Bishop Newman’s advent. A man of ideas with the ability to present them powerfully is always an acquisition to any com- munity. When to these is joined the opportunity and the rostrum as in Bishop Newman’s case, the public quite apart from religious considerations is likely to prove the gaincr, Omaha, with her three bishops, is now in more sense than one a metrop- olis, The thr great churches, with an episcopacy, are all represented, the ‘atholic by the scholarly O'Connor, the Iniscopal by the energetic and learned Worthington, and the Methodist by the eloguent and pushing Newman. The h Cxpensive Farming. The county commissioners have sub- mitted a proposition to the voters of Douglas county at the coming elcction to authorize the purchase of not more than six hundred and forty acres for a new county poor farm. Ostensibly the object of the commissioners is to relo- cate the poor farm at some point several miles beyond the city limits. With this end in view, seventy-five thousand dollars are to be taken out of the fund realized from the sale of the present county farm, and invested in the pur- chase of the land and the crection of buildings for the accommodation of paupers. In the main, the scheme to relocate the county alms-house to some distance beyond the city will meet with popular favor, but the prop- osition submitted is too loose and leaves room for wasteful expenditure. in the first place the county does not require six hundred and forty acres of land for its paupers, or, for that matter, one-fourth of that amount of land. County farming has been a very ex- pensive luxury so far. Every bushel of grain and potatoes raised on our county poor farm has cost four times more than it could have been bought for on the Omaha market. The labor on the farm has been done by hired men, and not by paupers, Twenty acres devoted to vegetable gardening and raising feed for.a dozen ¢d demands of th b questionabl Lo sell anothe ty farm, The city of . which cally nine-teriths 8f the county, so fav as taxation is conferped, noeds more po and publie squsres, and no more avail- ble portion ofs4hd eity could he chosen rosuch o papose, The county should lenst twenty-five actes for fair and exposition purposes.

Clendenning, who re- ferred eloquently to the associatious which the subject of the lecture suggested The lecturer began his address by a graphic _description of the two maln routes to the holy city. He then spoke of the geograph location of Jerusalem, and her associations with the early history of the world. He explained that at the time of the coming of Jesus Christ Jorusalem was the center of the world, and it was but fitting that the influ- ences of the Son of Man should radiate from it as a conter. The lecturer then described the physical features of the country of which Jerusalem is the center, citing in corrobora- tion of what he said a letter written him by General Grant while the latter was visiting the Holy Land. Countinuing the admirable description, the architectural features were presented, which included an eclabor- ate explanation of the water supply established by Sofomon, the aqueduct being twelve miles long. The material of which Solomon’s temple was made, was taken from a quarry, recently aceidentally discovered by an’ American physician, Dr. Bartlett. The quarry is eight miles from the city, und in it their are still found evidences of ‘tie mighty work that was wrought therein. The temple itseil was a marvel of beauty and size. No temple that was ever dedicated to the wor- ship of God, can compare with it, notwith standing, the statements of inexperienced travelers to the contrary. It was the privi- lego of the bishop to witness a wedding in Jerusalem, the ceremony abound- ing in all the absurdities of oriental customs and costumes. Jesus wept when he beheld the city, not in sorrow, but with emotion at the vision of beauty that appeared before him. Leaving the holy city, the lecturer led his listeners to Gethsemane, and dwelt upon all its holy associations with touching eloquence and tenderness. Calvary came next in the panorama of the word-painted pictures, the judgment chamber of Pilate and the his- torical Go “But,” said the speaker, *this land has a futuroas well as a past. t era demands & new people to its consummation,” and here followed a dissertation upon the Jews, “Jerusalem shall be rebuilt, the Hebrews shall be reinstated, and it 1s this people that will redeem the Holy Land from ity prosent undeveloped state, Archacologistsare doing much to uncarth the glorious history of its past. Little by little the secrets of antiquity are being dis d, and it is only a question of time when Jerusalem will be abreast with all there is of modern progress and develop ment." "The bishop hore related a diverting inci- dent of his travels, in which he represented himself as the hero of a noble defense made by four travelers against an attack of rob- bers, and in which the latter were ignomini- ously routed. Other episodes were toiched upon, which showed that the bishon had not been free from the usual annoyances that beset travelers in the Orient. ‘Throughout the iecture the speaker held the audicnce in closest attention. His man ner of speaking is plain and direct, his words were enunciated with clearness and precision and although at times he pronounced cli max with much fervor and eloquence, his style is casy and conversational. At the close of the lecture he was given a hearty applause. ntry from has been The Ralroads Outdone. Lixwoon, Neb., Oct. 6. —To the Tuk Bek: At the Platte township re caucus this evening one of the most disgrace- ful attempts at caucus packing occured that has ever stared the quiet people of this peaceful village in the fuce.
