Wg, Us & Co. will have a useful tool in the legislature in case Frank Mor- risey should, by accident, be elected. IT 15 quite evident that the teeth of a good many democrats are chattering with fright as they see the havoe played in their ranks by the West letter. Tais will bean off year for John A., in spite of the marching and countermarch- ing of the McShane invincibles and the tremendous outpouring of printers' nk and the flood of democratic litera- ture. INSPECTOR CALHOUN denies that he has been offensively partisan in his con- duct toward Morton, and states that he has discharged no Morton sympathiser in the past six months. He fails to men- tion that he has recently given a clerk- ship to a democrat who is very obnox- ious to Morton. This little squabble is noted as a sample of democratic har- mony. — J. RLING MORTON is the Lord Sackville West of Nebraska. In a speech at Weeping Water he not only admitted that he was a momber of the Cobden club, but stated he was proud of such membership, and regarded it as the greatest honor that could be con- ferred on an American citizen. He should now secure passage with Minis- ter West for England where his senti- ments will be appreciated. — WHEN John M. Thayer was in the frontier of Nebraska protecting the home-settlers against brutal and blood- thirsty savages McShane was going o school in Ohio with a spelling book under his arm. When John M. Thayer was gallantly leading the First Nebraska veterans from Donalson to Vicksburg, through the fiery ordeal of patriotism in its efforts to preserve the union, John A. McShane—where, oh where was he? THE board of county commissioners has a delicate and important duty to perform in the selection of election boards. The peculiar circumstances which have isft Omaha with no regis- tration lists will aggravate the evil of illegal voting. The election on the 6th of November is of vital interest to the people and candidates of both warties. There are indications that the contest will be close and exciting. Un- scrupulous men will take advantage of this state of affairs to influence and con- nive at frauds at the ballot. There will be no checks or restrictions to prevent illegal voting except the vigilance of citizens anc the integrity of the election boards. For that rcason the county commissjoners should select men of irreproachable character, and men famitiar with the machinery of elec- tions. The purity of the ballot is a serious question and one of great re- sponsibilit; —— ‘THE inter-state commerce commission has taken a etep forward to shield the peovle against the oppression of rail- ronds. The commission has taken the ground that it is empowercd to call be- fore its tribunal any railroad quostion for decision which in its opinion is a men- ace to the interests of the country. Ina recentdecision the dictum was laid down thut the commission’s duty was to look out for the citizen as the weaker party, as corporations are quite able to take care of themselves. In accordance with this view the commission, in advauce of suy complaint or appeal, has just de- oided that the rates on transcontinental business were excessive and - dispropor- tionate, and has ordered the railroads concerned to modify the inequalities in their tariff and classification. The po- sition of the commission on this point commends itself to fair minded men. It protects the peaple from the first and ‘gives the railroads to undérstand that they must conform at once to the inter- state law in good faith. HIS FIRST APPEARANCE President . Cleveland . made his first public appearance in the campaign on Saturday, when he viewed the business men’s parade in New York, . Propara- tions for this event had been going on for weeks, and it appears to have been a large and enthusiastic demonstration, notwithstanding the interference of a heavy rain. A great popular demon- stration is, however, possible at uny time in New York, and the presence of the president was of itself sufticient to call out tens of thousands of people who simply had a curiosity to gratify, with- out having the slightest sympathy with the spirit of the occasion. Still it was a notable event, and one from which the demo- crats may proverly derive some en- couragement. The apparently eord mecting between Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hewitt will doubtless be regarvded as a reassuring incident, while the handshaking of the mayor and the Tam- many candidate for that office, “across the president, not across the bloody chasm, the former expressed it, was not without significance. Demo- crats will readily conclude from these circumstances that harmony has been restored to the party in New York, and we expect to find the organs throughout the country insisting that such is the plain lesson of the demonstration and its couspicuous incidents. Obviously itgwould have greatly helped to such a conclusion if one other democratic leader, the governor of New York, had been present on this occa- sion, and notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Hill telegraphed that it was not cticable for him to attend, and also surance that the relations be- tween the president and himself wer and always had been, of the most ag » and satisfactory character, it is im- possible not to believe that had Gov- ernor Hill very much desired to be present he could have done so. It was not an impromptu affair, and he had knowledge of it in ample time to make his arrangements to attend without in the least interfering with his campaign elsewher More- over, it was felt to be of the highest im- portance that there should be a personal manifestation of good feeling between the president and the governor on this occasion, and it is known that the dem- ocratic managers weve most solicitous that they should meet. In view of these facts can the statement of Governor Hill regarding the relations between the president and himself fairly be garded as sincere, and does not the ab- sence of the governor clearly militate against the conclusion that all is har- monious in the ranks of the New York democracy? r This carcfully arranged demonstra- tion will not have the hoped for effect, It was largely theatrical, and the man who should have played one of the most important roles was not there, while as to the chief actor he simply posed. On the whole we cannot see why the event should materially im- prove the democratic situation in New York. as DESCENDING TO PERSONALITIES. Thus far the campaign has been ex- ceptionally free from personalities. It was entered upon by both parties witha determination to discuss principles and policies, rather than men, to appeal to the intelligence and reason of the peo- ple, rather than to their passions. The personal abuse and defamation of the last campaign had disgusted the better sentiment of the country and disgraced us as a people before the world. [t was felt thay there had been enough of that sort of thing for at least a generation, and that the time had come to show that the American people could conduct a national campaign on a different basis, There was until now every reason to believe that this spirit would prevail to the end, but the good record made received a blot, cast upon it by u demo- cratic leader and a member of the ad- ministration. No other man who has contributed anything to the campaign has blundered s0 seriously for his party as Mr. Don M. Dickinson, the postmaster general. ‘When it is remembered that Dickinson s called to the cabinet because he was believed to be a shrewd and judi- cious politician, who would be of great service in promoting the chances of the president for asecond term, his utter fail- ure in the part ho hasplayed in this can- vass is surprising. Wehave heretofore discussed his extraordinary effort to carry the west against New England, and the whole country has been made familiar with it by Mr. Blaine, who convinecingly demonstrated the absurd- ity of Mr. Dickinson’s statements of fact and the mounstrous character of his position. A wiser man than the Michi- gan politician would have remuined silent after his blunders had been ex- posed, but Mr. Dickinson comes back with an attempt to vindicate himself, and as a part of this hopeless task makes a savage porsonal atlack upen Mr. Bigine. Theve is little if any necessity for giving extended consideration to anything that Mr. Dickinson may ¥y personal or other- wise. He has shown himself a man of such narrow views, of such un- patriotic sentiments, of such demagogic motives, and withal so much a syco- phant, that nothing he may hereafter say can have any influence with intelli- geat and faiv-minded men. It is the right of a man to be an ardent partisan, but the partisanism of Mr. Dickinson is of so bitter a character that could it prevail we should soon have sections of the country warring against each other and the nation divided against itself. He is an unsafe man to be in public life, or would be if he had the ability to exert an extended influence. So far as his attack on Mr. Blaine is eoncerned it will be harmless both to its object and to the republican party. The extravagantly fulsome flatterer of Mr, Cleveland is incapable of framing any abuse that can hurt Me. Blaine, The man who has shown how well he can play the sycophant will have uo success in the role of a denunciator, All men ean readily understand the incentive in both cases, and in neigher . is it credita- ble to Mr, Diokingen.. Awmong all the politicians who have damaged their party and Shemselves in the present eampaign, the Michigan member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet heads the list. BIG GUNS AND BIG SHIPS. The effete monarchies of Europe are competing with the most intense rivalry in the production of heavlly armored ships provided with monstrous guns. Much has been said about the lutest [talian war vessels, and still more about the English, and there are men who contemplate the Duilio and the Benbow with a sort of panic fear. The annual report of Admiral D. D. Porter runs very much in the same groove of thought, and his opinion clearly stated is that the true policy of this count to build fast cruisers and heavy armor clads like the Puritan, Maine and Texas. No matter how perfectly we develope dynamite shells and torpedoes he claims that the necessity for these vessels will still exist, “for the ingenuity of man will contrive some plan to protect the ships from the annoyances of the small fry.” Giving all due weight to so great an authority as Admiral Porter it is difficult to agree with him. It is clear that he advises a path which isillogical and can lead to no result, and has been led astray both by protessional and per- sonal feelings, As the question is one not of theory, but of expenditure, it is a matter of duty to raise a protest against the acceptance of his views. He advises a middle path, and there is no middle path possible. It isa question of armorclads as heavy as the Benbow, the Nile and the Trafalgar, or of swift cruisers armed with dynamite gun No pretense is made thatthe Puritan and the other vessels are of the same class as the largest English and Italian vessels, and though formidable in themselves they are only small fry to such., Itseems strange that Admiral Porter and others of his school have not recognized the fact that the one hun- dred and twenty ton guns of the mon- ster vessels are only formidable against fixed points. They will carry a distance leven miles, beyond any doubt, and ill, therefore, play havoe with any city which they are per- mitted to approach. But why should they be permitted. At sea it would not be possible for any lookout to discover a vessel at such a distance, and any battle which the Duilio or Benbow fight on the rolling waves must ne surily be within the range of fast cruis ers armed with dyvamite guns. The Iustory of naval warfare has shown that the small fry havealways the advantage. The ships of the great Armada. which, when compared with the English fleet, were as the Benbow to one of our fast cruisers o utterly unable to cope with bhdr swiftly maneuvered antago- nists. The distance at which any naval battle is fought is decided not by the range of the guns but by the speed of the vessels, and the fastest chooses the distance which is the most advantageous. With all due deference to Admiral Porter’s opinion such vossels as the Benbow will only be chopping blocks whenever they have to fight on the high seas with a nimbler foe. The result will surely be that all armor-clads with enormous guns will be relegated to the defense of harbors apd will be recognized as useless for pur- poses of attack. They will simply be floating batteries costing twenty times what they are worth. The republican policy of declining to plunge the nation into heavy expenditures for a navy be- cause the obviously a transition period ahead was most sound and wise. It galled the admirals and commodores, but it saved the country from spending money to no purpose. The inclination which the democratic administration has shown to waste large sums in heavy armor-clads will not be approved by the nation even though endorsed by Ad- miral D. D. Porter. A CONTEMPORARY, remarking upon the fact that the defaulting treasurer of the city of Cleveland was known as a “good fellow,” says it does not take much stock in men of that class for public positions of trust. ‘“The theory,” it observes, ‘‘that a large heart goes with an open hand; that nobility of character is indicated by a knack of telling stories, more or less unclean; that manliness is revealed by extrava- gance and depravity; that the kindest- hearted people and the whitest souls and the truest friends are the to- pers and profligates; this theory, we say, does wnot match with our experience.” It is unquestion- ably too generally the practice to prefer men of the ‘“‘good fellow” cla to which the Cieveland treasurer distinctively belonged, for public posi- tions,and the misfortune of our political system is that the practice is likely to continue. The sharp, bright, gener- ous fellow, cordial to everybody and especially liberal with ““the boys,” has a decided advuntage in American poli- tics, and probably always will have. Yet sterling worth and character is not wholly neglected. As to Axworthy, he was really something more than a good fellow. He had demonstrated marked ability+as a business man, and such sporting tendenc as he had were kept under & discreet restraint. His fall was due to the common American greed which leads so many men into speculation even after their possessions should be regarded as ample, and the lesson to be derived from his case is not altogeth er against good fellowship, Nevertheless, the proposition is sound that in select- ing a man for a public position of trust his qualities asa good fellow should have very little weight in his favor if he has not established a character for sterlmg worth in other respects and for incorruptible integrit; SOME of our contemporaries are mak- ing sun while the hay shines, in several languages. During the past week the muils have been flooded with tons of supplements with frantic appeals to for- eigu-born citizens to save the country and support the democratic state ticket. McShane’s Own bas suddenly been inspired to talk German., Campaign literature to down Thayer is also being manufactured at the state capital, and tarrible revelations about par- doned murderers, insurance leeches and militia colonels are being ground out at fifty dollars per thousand copies.

He is booked for speeches for every night during the remainder of the campaign. So far he haslostno sleep over Mr. Morton's canvass. On the contrary he feels encouraged and confident of a handsome majority. Mr. Morton's Cob- den club gospel, like the Sackville- West letter, is a powerful argument against the democratic candidate.

San Francisco Bulletin: Life at the Lick observatory, over four thousand feet above the ocean level, on a lofty summit, with other mountain crests only for neighbors, is an interesting study. Here is, probably, the highest colony in California. The astronomers and necessary employes of the observa- tory form a little world of their own, and few of them care often to go outside of it. The stage that comes once a day brings news from the world outside and visitors curious to sce the wonders of the mountain., A contract with a San Jose expressman secures all needed freight once a month sometimes oft- ener. A butcher with supplics comes up the twenty-eight miles of tortuous mountain road once a week. Cows and chickens are adjuncts to the commissary department. Quail, rabbits and deer are plentiful in surrounding canons and some of the sportsmen astronomers oc- casionally bring them down. The sum- mer air is soft and so rarified as to ex- hilarate and make great exertion seem slight. All the astronomers came from cities, yet none complain or sigh for at- tractions beyond those revealed by the marvelous telescopes. Entombed on the Common, Boston Globe: A sombre undertak- er’s hearse standing in frontof the old burial ground on the Common attracted the attention of manya hurrying pe- destrian, to whom the sight of a hall open door of a_tomb within the enclos- ure gave an added interest. It is so seldom that a burial occurs in the old Central that people who pass there every day almost forget thav such a place of interment exists. It was not strange, therefore, that when late in the afternoon a cloth-covered caskot was borne to the tomb before mentioned passers by stopped and gazed intently ut the curious scene. The funeral was that of Mrs. Eliza Aun B. Loring, wno died at her re dence, 18 Park street, last Friday,at the ageof thirty years.

LIVE 1N SQUALOR AND WANT Povorty Stricken Nomads Infosting the Vicinity of Lincoln. A LOUD APPEAL FOR CHARITY, Sunday Guests at the Capital City— Preparing for a Grand Repub- lican Rally—General and Personal Notes, 1020 P Staeer, LaNcoLy, Oct, 23, The nomadic tribes infest Lincoln to-day perhaps more than at any other time during her history. At leasta hundred families are quartered in tents in the outskirts of the city, and the shielter afforded by the gauzy texture covering them is barcly sufficient to keep out the raw air of the evening, let alone the winds and rain that are so liable to come at this season of the year. A dozen can b on East O, street, and a peep behind the scenes alone is necessaty to prove that suffering must come sooner or later, unless there is a change for the better in their surroundings. In- quiry leads to the knowledge that they ave here doing the most menial kinds of labor and seemingly glad to get it to do on any terms. But' this condition of facts is ot unknown to the ¢ of life, and it can be trul, i erty stalks abroad in the 3 It is barely possible that this may be vroperly clussed as pauper lanor. But to have it come upon Lincoln in dirt and filth and slime, breeding disease and pestilence, is a matter that invites the attention of the samitary com- mission if not the labor = statis- tician. During a short ramble of THE BEE representative this morning his attention was called to special evidence of suffering and want at the doors of some of the tents on O street. in the squalid and ragged ap- pearance of some of the children stand- ing about. There is room for the hand of charity even in Lincoln. The good church people of the city ought to ap- preciate the fact when going down into their pockets so lavishly for foreign missions. It is said that generous acts lie at the gate of human happiness, [ know from the evidences seen in differ- ent quarters ot the city during the past few days that there is mor need for charity contributions right at home thanthere canbe for the work of the missionary in India, China or the wilds of heathendom: so, if generosity bends at the will of happiness, there is an op- portunity for saving a soul, and per- chance 4 life, without going a mile from the portals of the home door. This frag- ment is written under pressure of the belief that there is need for more charity work for home than other land; than ours. Not a month ago the past of one of the prominent churches of this city announced from the pulpit at the close of the evening serv that the collection of the day for foreign mis- sions amounted to $141, It was a gen- erous contribution, but I do not believe that the same church, nor any other of the city for that matter, can raisea like sum for the needs of the wretched and stricken at home in a day or in a week.
