Mr. RICHARD BERLIN will enjoy the distinction of being the only republican member of the Douglas county legisla- tive delegation, THE question of the exact site of the erucifixion is being discussed in the periodicals. Mrs. Cleveland fixes it in the neighborhood of the executive man- sion at Albany. THERE are three classes of citizens who regret the termination of the cam- paign. They arc the musicians, the campaign uniform makers and the deal- ers in firoworks. But it is an ill-wind that does not blow somebody good. THE crime against Dakota bids fair to be revenged by the next congress. The disfranchisement of the negro in the gouth when supplemented by the dis- franchisement of three-quarters of a million of whites in the north made a olid west as against a broken south, CN has just been rendered ot that the Scotch court had furisdiction in the suit of Parnell sgainst the London Times for libel.

RUSSIAN competition in petroleum with the export trade of this country is mttracting sttontion, and the prediction #s mado that the time is not fur distant when the petroleum of the Caspian re- gion will drive the American produot out of Kuropean markets. The fact is noted that while the world’s consump- tion of petroleum is steadily incressing, the exports of this country are not keeping pace with it in either quantity or value. The Russian production of mineral oil has risen in a few years to twenty-five million gallons, and the oil Meld appears to be well-nigh inexhaust- fble. There appears to be some danger to the future of this' important part of our export trade. —_— THERE is every reason to predict the success of the Bazaar to be given within a few weeks in aid of the Omaha Guards. This crack military organi- zation is making extensive vreparations to take part in the inauguration of President Harrvison, It is eminently wproper that Noebraska should be repre- sented at Washington on the 4th of March. The state stands in the front wanks of the republican column, and it has strong family ties which bind it to the president eleot. Local pride more- over should prompt our citizens to send the young soldiers to the inauguration in spick and span new uniforms. They should be encouraged in every way to strive for the distinction of carrying off the honovs for the sake of their state. THE § As nearly the returns, Nebrasks in the last election. campaign our vote ATE AND THE VOTE. as can be estimated from ast 187,000 votes In the Garfield was 87 Four years later it was 134,204, The present vote therefore shows a gain of 100000 voters over 1830, and of 53,000 over 1884, The comparison of the votes with the inhabitants at the time the votes were cust is intercsting as indicating the probable present population of Nebraska and its past and future rate of increase. By the national census taken in the spring of 1880, Nebraska had 452,402 in- abitants, Six months later on the citizens to the voter our pop- ched 480,452, a conserva- increase. Taking the tio of increase and applying it to the vote of 1884, which was 134,204, we obtain 739, ws the population of the state, which falls nearly two thou- sand below the figures given by the state census of 1885, The ratio of 54 in- habitants to the voter may therefore be taken as a conservative basis upon whieh to found estimates of population in years when a full vote is called out in thisstate. Applying this ratio to the figures of the late election we have at the present time 1,028,500 inhabitants in the state. This is an increase of very nearly 300 000 in four years, an increment of 40 p cent, or nearly ten per cent annually during that period. At this ratio the population of the state considerably more than doubles every ten years, and in 1890, the next census year, we shall have fully 1,150,000 inhabitants. Nebraska's congressional represen tion in the Fifty-second congr will b based upon her population as shown by the census of 1890, Under the present congressional apportiontmentof 151,912 inhabitants to each representativ applied to the census of 1880, we only entitled to three cong Two years hence, even with the basis of representation raised to 175,000 inhab- itants to the voter, we shall double our congressional delegation and propor- tionately increase our importance as o factor in national legislation. It is interesting to note that Omaha has maintained her position relative to the state at large. At the late election she cast one-tenth of the entire vote. Douglas county polled ncarly one-ninth of all the ballots deposited in Neb . If the state doubles in the next ten years, as may be reasonably expected, Omaha will have more than 200,000 pop- ulation before 1900 strikes the deuth knell to the present century. hasis of 5 ulation 1 tive estimate of same r- NEBRASKA HEADS THE LIST. The foolish brood of half-fledged poh- ticians who imagined that the great re- publican state of Nebraska could be revolutionized by the democracy ina presidential yeur ave now rubbing their heads in a dazed way and wondering why the political signal sevvice didn’t hoist the cold wave flag & month before the election. The result of the election has been more than surprising. It has been be- wildering. Nebraska has given a ma- jority for the republican national ticket greater than ever before in her history, while she has elected every republican congressman, increased the republican majority in the legislature, and, in spite of bitter local fights a the full use of democratic patronage, has chosen the entire state ticket by overwhelming ma- jorities So far as the state was concerned, the tarifl issue cut little figure. The Mills bill which began its reform by inserting the kinife in a great agri- cultural industry was repudiated as sectional, crude and unsatisfactory. The great soldier voté was cast almost bodily against the perpetuation of an administration which had been notori- ously controlled by formerty disloyal in- fluences. A false economy which gave millions of dollars towards improving southern bayous and made up the defi- ciency by cutting down the mail service of the west did not commend itself to the frontier farmers or the border busi- ness men. Least of all, did boodle exer- cise its influence. The counties which two years ago administered a scathing rebuke ta political charlatans seeking endorsement at the hands of the repub- lican party swung nobly into line to re- sent the imputation that their former action was the result of any other influ- ence than an earnest desire to purify the purty and to purge it of its political dross. While full returns are not yet availa- ble enough have been received to warrant the prediction that Nebraska is pear the head of the republican column. With all the immigration of neavly thivty years she has not been unmindful of her carly his- tory, forever and inextricably inter- woven with that of the times of storm and stress which accompanied the birth of the republican party. Then as now southern bulldozers opposed a solid front to western rights, and Kansas and Nobraska wore confronte d by the same political forces which are to-day deny- ing the rights of citizenship to Dakota. Southern slaveholders then occupiod the place held to-day by southern brig- adiers, but their methods and their aims were opposed to the progress of the west for the same reason that under Mr. Cleveland’s admnistration western claims have been ignored and resented, As a result every western state has swung into line for the restoration of the party of progress and Nebraska stands with Kansas again at the head of the column, THE BOSTON PASTOR. The call of the First Congregational church of this city to the Rev. Joseph Duryea, D, D., of Boston, has been ac- cepted conditionally upon the consent of the council of which he is a member. There is no reason to doubt that it will be cheerfully given and that the pas- toral ties which have held Dr. Duryea to Congregationalism in the Old Bay state will be speedily dissolved to per- wit him to make the change which he s0 greatly desires. Omaha may there- fore soon expect an addition to its al- ready large corps of clergymen which will be alike of benefit to the city and to the religious denomination - with which Dr, Duryea is connected. Dr, Duryeais astroug man, physically ond iotellectually, He 1s still in the meridian of life aftar noarly thirty years of labor in the pulpit. ®A graduate of Princeton college he entered the minis- try at the outbreak of the war and for twenty years was prominently identified with the Presbyterian chur Much of his work was done in Brooklyn, N. where he built up the Classon Avenue church into one of the strongest metropolitan churches of that great denomination. Dr. Duryea is celebrated as a man of wide culture, innate reflnement and of scholarly in- stincts, cultivated by sars of labor. His view of the preacher is that ef the teacher. His pulpit oratory is the ro- verse ef sensational, bat it is searching, inspiving and suggestive. He isa mu- sicinn by taste, and is deeply interested in artand educational problems. Botl Brooklynland Boston he rapidly rose into prominence by his outspoken fnterest in matters relating to the municipal wel- fare of the two cities. In the lecture hall and on the platform he waged brilliant war for humanity entirvely apart from denominationalism, and made himself felt as an intellectual fo in the communities in which he cast his lot. 1t is interesting to know that he comes to Omaha because he yearns to find a less contracted field for his broad human- itarianism, and thut he does so at a pe- cuniavy sacrifice. The Boston pastor will become the Omaha pastor with no inconsiderable gain to the new state and newer city into which he will pro- ject himself, OF 1THE ELECTORAL VOTE. The statutes of Nebraska provide that the votes cast for presidential clectors shall be canvassed by a board of state canv: , consisting of the governor, secvetary of state, auditor of public account wsurer and attorney general. The board is required to meet av the office of the seceretary of state on the third Monday after the election, which this year will be No- vember 26, and in case all the returns shall not have then heen reccived at the office of the secretary of state, the board may adjourn from da to day until the same shall hay been received, not exceeding five days. A certificate shail be served on each person elected. no- tifying him when he shall attend at the tof government to give his vote for president and viee president, Under the national law in vogue at the last presidential election the elee- tors of president and vice president were required to meet in each state at noon of the Tuesday preceding the fi Wednesday of December next after election, and the law of Nobraska is in conformity with this. But the act of coungress of December, 1836, to fix the day for the meeting of the electors, pro- vides that they shall meet on the se ond Monday in January. The first sec tion of this act reads: ‘“‘That the elec- tors of each state shall meet and give their votes on the second Monday 1 January next following their ap- pointment, at such placa in each s as the legislature of such state shall direct.” Thisof course supersedes the state law providing for the meeting of the electors in December, and us in 1876 the national law will be regarded. It will be rémembered that in that year Nebraska had no law providing for the separate canvass of the vote for presi- dential electors, the statutes providing that all returns should be canvassed by the legislature. Compliance with this would have lost the electoral vote of Nebraska to the republican presilential candidates and thus defeated them, but those who insisted upon compliance were overruled and the electors met agreeably to the national law. In the present case the state statute respecting the meeting of the electors will give way to the federal law, and the second Monday in January will be the day of meeting, instead of theTuesday preceding the first Wednes- day of NDecember. The canvass of the votes for all state officers and for members of congress is roquired to be done by the legislature at its next regular session CANTASS STIMULATING ART CULTURE. The first exhibition of the Western Art association will take place duving the present week. A second exhibition consisting of Hon. Goorge W. Linin- ger’s collection will follow a week later. Au opportunity is given for the first time to view the works of our local artists and to examine Mr. Lininger’s fine collection. That our citizens will avail themselves of this treat is assured. They have evinced great interest in the organization of the art association, and are ready to encourage the objects of the society to advance the knowledge and love of the fine arts in our city. The time is ripe for such a purpo and an impetus was only necossacy for an awakening in art. The erection of the Lininger art gallery is most oppor- tune. Although a private art hall, through the munificence of Mr. Linin- gor it is put at the disposal of the art- ists of the ¢ For all practical pur- poses it will serve Omaha as a public urt gallery. Here the exhibitious of the art association take place, and here the students and patrons of art will have the opportunity to visit at pleas. ure. Under such favorable auspices the Western Art association has taken the initial steps in laying the founda- tion of a permanent art gallery and art school in our midst. A POST LIBRARY. The suggestion that the citizens of Omaha should join in contributing a post library for the onlisted men at Fort Omaha, should meet with an im- mediate and generous respouse. The garrison hus for years been an impor- tant and liberal patron of our business men, It has added much to the attrac- tions of the city. Neither officers nor men have ever failed to raspond to calls of the city for friendly assistance in ceremonials and parades and their pres- ence has increased greatly the interest of such occasions. The present of a small but well chosen library of general interest would be a vourteous recognl- tion on the part of our people of past favors shown, while at the same vime it would be an aet of permanent educa- tional benefit to men who are deprived of the advantages of our public library. Garrisons would change and commands come and go, but tho library would remain a gift of porpetual interest. We sco no in the objection of an enlisted man who writes that soldiers are not objects of charit We have never heard of a community objecting to the foundation of a free library on any suef grounds, The books, which we trust will bo liberally fur- nished by our people, will not be the property of the Sécond infantry. They will remain at the gost, we hope, long after that regiment hhs gone elsawhere. Chaplain Nave's appeal, which has been generally eivculated, should meet with a liberal response, I SEEMS that there is no doubt of the existence of large deposits of tin ore at Harney's Peak, near Rapid City, in southwestern Dakota. But though the fact has heen known for some year: only one attempt has been made to duce the ove, and that was unsucce for want of sufficient funds. The beds have been disposed of to English capitalists, and this seems an unfortun- ate proceeding, for if these purchasers interested in the tin ore of New South Wales, as is only too probable, arney’s Peak tin fields have becun bought simply to prevent them being worked.

It was a splendid finishing touch to a memora- ble political battle. Mis. CLEVELAND wiil vetire from her position as the “first lady of the land” universally respected for the modesty and self-poise with which she has conducted herself during her brief soeial reign. Few women of her age, elevated to such a height without any previous proparation, would have borne themselves so creditably in all respects as she has done, and every American woman should be proud of her example. CURRENT TOPI(CS California wine in the east suffers a neces- sary though unmerited ectipse on accouut of a cause which which has been unsuspec by castern men, and about which Califori do not care to talk. Ounly practical vini cul- turists are aware of the fact that the wines which are of the best quality ripen very slowly. Only very ordinaay wines are fit for cousumption & year atter the first fermenta- tion. Others gy on fermenting spring after spring until the mysterious pro - ses of ture are accomplished, aud the w10 is per- fected. Until the last fermeuiation has taken place the wine is not truly itself, the bouquet does not disengage itself, there is a perceptible acidity in tie after taste, and in the case of red wines the tannin predomi- nutes unpleasantly. A really good red wine like Zinfandel in its first year tastes as if some one had dropped a little medicine into the bottie. Now the ripening process cannot be consummated east of the Rocky moun- tains because the variations in the temper: ture are too great, and too sudden. W ought to be kept at nearly the same tempera- ture until it is perfected, and this can be done in California. Butin the east whe changes arc terrific, the wines subjected to the tremendous fall of the barometor in a blizzard are ruined, and can never recover themsclves because their vitality s killed And this is equally true of the excessiv heats. Hitherto the Califorian wino men have not had suficient money to handle wine on a great scale. To k is necessary,in the case of Riesling, six vint- ages in the celiar before one ean be soid, de- mand very great capital. Also such wines cannot be cheap, and castern men particu- larly insist upon cheapness. They argue that wine grown in America ought to be cheaper than wine from the Rhine or France. Now the price of wine depends upon the quality, and the greut majority of the Californian wines ara of the highest quality, and there- fore cannot be cheap. Probabably Malvasia and White Mission are the coming cheap wines, but California for years to come will only produce the higher grades, and to re- spond to the demand for cheaprness those are s0ld in their second year when thoy are de- testable, )t For some time past England has exhibited a fatal facility for making blunders, which Lias thrown grave discredit upon the govern- ment. Ono of the most astounding mistakes perpetrated was with regard to the Canadian Pacific railroad. It was 80 much the object of the howe government bo have this rail- road built that the authorities at Ottawa re- ceived a hint to give to the company an abso- lute guarantee that there should be no com- poting lines. To no purpose did Canadian journalists point out that such a guarantee was both impolitic and impracticuble. The government did not care for the future which seemed very remote and ouly concerned it- self with that which was present. Sothe Canadian Pacific received its guarantee. Now, the natural effoct of all railroads is to build up the countries traversed, aud the first result of the Canadian Pacific was the buildiug up of Manitoba. The Canadian Pa- eifie, which is a full sistor of the Union Pa- cific, so dear to Nebraska aud Wyoming, immediatoly procesded 10 skin the communi- ties of Manitoba by the application of rates “based upon what the trafiic would bear." ' Nebraska knows what that means. Tho poople of Manitoba determined to relieve themscives from the burden by building & ailroad to connect with the Northern Pacifio, 50 obtaining connection with the flouring mills of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the meat markets of Omaha, that they might sell in one and buy in the other. The road had to cross the Canadian Pecific at two points, and the Canadian Pacific, strong in the gov- ernment guarantoe, has torn up the rails laid down by the Manitoba connecting line, The province is ina flame of fury, and is led in its opposition by its attorney general, who declares that if his province is compelled to submit to such tyranny at the hands of the nadian government at Ottawa, he shall call the Manitobans to arms and secede, All this is because the home government could not understand that in this locality states grow fast, and become strong and rich before a cabinet minister has fairly begun to learn tho names of the new communities, W Somo things die hard—some never die, but remain, mn the language of Keats, things of beauty and joys forever. Of such it seems is that peculiar objeot which the dressmaker calls tournure, and the scoffing world of coarse men a bustle. Tt was currently re ported that it was dead, that it would be seen no more, and that it had been killed by the refusal of Mrs. Cleveland to utilize jits mysterious advantages.

If lovers of good living knew the secrets of the caisie, many a dainty morsel would be untouched, and itis an act of wisdom for journalists to keep reticient upon the mys- teries of their professional cookery. fession, The discovery has been made by the famous chicf of New York detectives In- spector Bymes that the murder of the Ital- ian Flaconnio was the work of an infamous organization for criminal purposes known as This association 18 special to it differs in nothing from La Camorra of the Neapolitan kingdom. The question is mnow being asked whotier La Mafia was not interested in the murder of a railroad paymaster, and his attendant in broad aaylight neur Wilkesbarre, and the robbery of more than twelve thousand dollars destined to pay the laborers and teamsters Both men were shot. dead from an ambush, and the local investigators at once deduced the conclusion that it was a carvefully worked out crime, prepared to the minutest detail in advance from the civcumstance that Winchester cartridzes had been dropped at the point of ambush in order to draw the attention of the police to the hunters of the locality who use the Winchester. But as the futal bullets were not Winchester, it was clear that the cartridges bad been obtained simply to throw the police on a false trail. Itis now suggested that among tho Italian railroad laborers in the vicinity there may be some members of La Mafia who supplied the central organization with all needful infor- mation gave assistance to the men who ware sent down to do the job. Should the police succeed in proving this, there will be a strong movement against Italian immigra- ion which 1s of a highly undesirable charac- ter. - The earthquake shocks reported from New Bedford, Mass., have by no means the im- portance indicated. There are earthquales and earthquakes, as the French say, and those which occur regularly every fall in the cast are not worthy of being telegraphed as a sensational item. Under the influence of the summer heats the rocks underlying the alluvial soil are expanded, and when the frosts come are contracted. Whenever such rock strata lie upon clay beds the contrac tion is accompanied with a slight shpping, and this produces distinet shocks which oc- aasionally have force enough to be alarming. These periodical earth tremors are not to bo classed with genuine seismic action, which is always more or less cosmic, Humboldt, by an exhaustive study of the subject, arrived at the conclusion that earthquakes of the genuino elass were caused by the same force that raised up the mountain chains--namely , a contraction of the earth's crust caused by radiation of heat. One of the results of this contraction is the falling in of the walls of internal caverns twenty, thirty, even for milos below the surfuce, One this theory forcibly by a consic effect of such a falling in of the great cave in Kentucky. There would be a distinct radia- tion of shocks from u central point, And that was the most marked feature of the Charleston earthquake, which most unmis- takably was of a true seismic character, This is a great vear for apples, not only in the states, but also in Cauada, and the un recedented shipments to Englaud have knocked down the prices far below the hope of any return to the shipper. In the lan guage of commerce, apples are & Grug in the great ports of Liverpool, London and Glas- gow, which cannot be wondered at when itis known that the arrivals of a single weck amounted to 75,041 bushels. The shipments 80 far arc nearly double what is normal. In this case, a8 in 80 mavy others, the early birds caught the worms and disposed of their apples at fair prices; those who came after them received less and less until at present no dealer will listen to any proposi- tiou with apples in it. The agricultural su- thority is ut a loss when asked for some alle- viation to the woes of apple raisers. Eating applos caunot be converted into hard cider, and the article which ~an be manufactured is alooholic and has to bo kept saveral years before it is fit for consumption, consequently it cannot be converted into applejack. Feed- ing vhe apples to hogs is au injustice to the hog, and he resents it by developing soft, in- ferior pork.

More than this, he was an avowed and bitter enemy of Cleveland, and had the enmity of the office-holders as well as of the workingmen. S. H.

The men who four years ago secured his election this yer Iy hoped for his defeat. Patron- age turned out to be a two-eged sword. While the hogs were quarreling over the trough, a united republican party, chastened by defeat, marched shoulder to shoulder to victory. ' Mr. Cleveland made the monu- mental mistake of trying to lead his part without taking his gencrals into his con- dence. His kitchen cabiuet was inexperi- enced and subservient. The masses refused to follow, aud the generals are now laughing in their sleeves, and ostentatiously washing their hands of the whole business, There will be no great mourning over Cleveland’s defeat in Washington, ofice-holders alone excepted,” “‘Harrison’s election in my judgment,” re- marked a veteran politician last night, “‘puts an entirely new phase in the Nebraska sen- atorial contest. Manderson will now have no walkaway. Candidates will spring up like mushrooms under the warming stimulus of impending patronage, aud towering above all the possibilities I see the stalwart frame of Alvin Saunders, of Douglas county. Just look at it for a minute, Don't laugh, but consider. Senator Saunders was beaten by Manderson for the senate after serving six years in that body. He is a North Platte man and a resident of Omaha, He has had more public experience than Manderson, and is fully as well known in the country and state, His health is quite restored. More than all, his daughter is the daughter aw of the president-clect, and the family rela- tions are intimate. Senator Saunders is ac- cordingly in prime condition to make a fight for the Manderson succession, His promises will have the backing of intimate relations with the throne, which Manderson's will not. He will be ina position to guarantee all his assurances, Itis a vantage ground which will count.

In lhctrh\mph of the democratic candidate for tho presidenoy in that year the probabilitics were violated as completely and as conspicuously as the proprieties were transgressed and outragod.

A Great Lesson. Cleveland Leader: The triumph of the republican party yesterday contains a lesson which he who runs may read. It means that the intelligence and patriotism of the peoplo of the great states of the north are equal to any work that the welfaro of this great nde tion may impose upon them, It proves that the majority are ou the side of progross and nonest government, and canuot be deceived by the plausible sophistries of demagogues, misled by falsenood and calumny, or swerved from their duty by the corrupt usq of mouey.

Hill and Abram S. Hewitt, and the fact which democrats throughout the country should lay to heart that, in this game of politics, their posseasion of the imperial patronage of' New York city is of far more inportance than the governe ment of the union.” A Democratic W Kansas City Times: It is Iarrison beyond all doubt or question.
