Tii course pursiéd by the cotneil with regard to the levy of the special tax for grading Wirt and Vinton streets bt thirty-five cents a yard is being watched with a good deal of interest by the property-owners, OF ALL the people of the United Btates the Dakotans have the greatest vause for rejoicing over the élection of General Harrison. It meats for them speedy political enfranchisement. Btatehood will stimulate their material prosperity. it MoNgY is wilhdrawn froid its accus omed channéls to swell camphign- funds, and thousands of dollars are spent lavishly ana recklessly for ques- liondble purposes. From these influ- tences the country is happily relieved and will now settle down to its regular course of trade. IT WAS to be expected that confusion would result from the counting of the ballots in the city. The unprecedentedly large vote cast in every ward of the vity, the want of registration lists, and the inexperience of the judges and cleiks of election contributed to the complications. The board of canvassérs is doing the best it can to unravel the snarl. Tire imbecility ind incompetency of the London police in tracing the White- chapel murdérer is illustrated by the proclamation of the chief of police offér- ing a free pardon to any accomplice of the murdérer if ho will turn informeér. The very idea that the Whitechapel fiend has an accomplice is absurd. The truth is, the London bobbies are too badly scardd and helpless to ferret dut the eriminal, IN their deésperation to find a cause for Cleveland’s defént, the democratic press striices out right and left. First Hill was accused, then Hewitt was made responsible, and now it is pdor Henri Watterson, of Kentucky, who 15 held up for execration. 1f the demo- crats are sincere to discover who killed cock robin, there is no necessity for setting up straw men and knocking them dowi, It 18 & cold day when Kunsas City gets ahead of Omaha. A cut in rajes on dressed beef betwoen that city and Chicago was inaugurated o féw days wgo. The reduction was not only promptly met by the roads leading out of Omaha, but the Chicago & North- western has just nnnounced a still lower rate on packing house products. This will give Omaha a decided advantage over Kansas City if the railroads of that city do not immediately respond. Eme————— THrE scheme to divide the Sixth and Ninth wards and add two more council- men to the city'’s pay-roll will not meet with much favor from the taxpayiog por- tion of this community. Eighteen coun- cilinen are ample to do all the business of the municipal corporation. Chieago, with a population eight times as large 28 Omaha, only has thirty-six council- men, If the tenth ward is to be carved out it shoullt cover South Omaha, which Booner or lutor must Lécome a part of Omaha proper. o Titk romarkakle geowth of the Mon- tana cattlo business, as shown by the layge receipts from its cattle ranges his season, has been a great surprise to he live stock trade.

Defeat lins not lessened the admira- tion of a certain class of democrats and their so-called independent allies for Mr. Cleveland. They con- tinue to prate of the courage of their hero, of the wisdom of his ad- ministration, of his unselfish patriot- ism, of his boundless concern for the welfare of the whole people, and of all the other virtues which distinguish great men from those of meaner qual- ity. These admirers and eulogists of the president imply that the intelligent American people were incapable of ap- preciating the exceptional virtues of Mr. Cleveland, and that it will remain to history to accord to him and to his administration the honor due Let it be granted that Mr. Cleveland is no ordinary man, and still theve 1s no ground for the apotheosis of his idol- ators. He was neither born to grent- ness nor achieved it, but had it thrust upon him. He was a competent sherift and an effictent mayor, developing in the latter capacity certain sterling qual- ities which the exigency that made his election possible demanded. There had been an era of corruption and loose government in the of his home, to reform whi a4 man of strong will and de pur- pose was required. A lawyer who was a bosom friend of Mr. Cleveland and knew that he had will and de- termination put him forward as a can- diadte, and he was successful. He justified the promises that had been made in his behalf, and when in 1882 the democracy 6f New York were cast- ing about for an available candidate for govetnor, the Buffalo lawyer who had thrust Cleveland into the political arena was able to push him a step for- ward in securing for him the guber- natorial nomination. Republican dis- affection gave him the election by an unprecedented majority. But while Mr. Cleveland was an efficientand useful inayor, it was speedily discovered that he was not likely to improve his record in public life in the broader and move difficuls field of state affairs, and he was little more than a figurehead in the office of governor. He did, however, discover certain traits of charcter which have since been more strongly developed to his own in- jury. His gredt majority naturally gave him notible prestige, and in 1884 he was successful over tried and exper- ienced statesmen in securing the nomi- nation for the presidency. Bverybody admits that hiselection was a “‘scratch,” But to Mr. Cleveland himself it was an evidence of personal greatness and he speedily grew to regard himselfasa mighty political force quite invincible. It was this feeling which led him during the first two years of his administra- tion to ignore the counsel of most of the leaders of his party, wholly estrang- ing from himself many of them, some of whom are doubtless not among the mourners over his defeat. He arrayed the representatives of his party in con- gress against him on the silver question and for two yéars his recommendations to congress recgived hardly the re- spectful attention of detnocrats in that body and in the country. devoted followers, but the large major- ity were not friendly to him, and the more outspoken of them did not hesi- tate to publicly declare their displeas- ure. Ever looking forward second term and planning to that end; Mr. Cleveland saw the necessity of a clearly defined issue, and hence the tariff message. To what ex- tent this move was inspired by the southern advisers whom he had taken into his counsel may never be known, but at any rate there was a manifesta- tion of courage in the stand thus taken. 1t brought the issue squaiely before the country, and it was perhaps better to make it this year than to postpone it four years longer. Both parties are wiser than before regarding popular sentiment on this question. tsut when this is said of Mr. Cleveland, what more is there that will ren- der his admmistration memovable, or that entitles him to the fulsome coriimendation of his admirers? In whatever direction he has not been compelled to move on republican lines his administration has contributed nothing to the advantage or honor of the country, and thére is every reason to believe tl but for the check im- posea by a republican senate there would be far more to regret than there is. The effort to rank Mr. Cleveland as # statesman must Tail. There is no evidence to support such a claim, If his administration has done no other injury to the country than to bring upon it some loss of dignity in the world’s opinion the credit is not to be given to his wisdom,or his patriotism, but to conditions which he was unable to control. to a THE LOND ON MURDERS. The last horrible story from London of a repetition of the Whitechapel butcheries, the scene of the latest mur- der being in another portion of the great city, is éven more vevolting in its character than those which had pre- ceded it. Oceurring before the punic of fear created by the Whitechapol horrors had fully subsided, this last brutal murder must greatly intensify the drend that for more than a month past has hung like a pall over London, and which it rendered the. more iin- pressive by the utter imability of the police to fathom the tevrible mystery and bring the extraovdinary crim- inal or criminals to justice. The London police department is a vast establisment, man- aged with the most careful discipline, and rainifying with its agents and detéctives overy portion of the great city, but the fact that its efforts have been completely thwarted h{}!he perpetrator of the butcherles which have called into play all the in- genuity, skill and vigilance of the com- mand of the department, has naturally caused a general lossof confidence in police protection. For a month past there has been an active warfure aghinst the home secratary, the popular mind being so0 excited astomake the question of police administratiou an issue in pali- tics, #nd on last Fiiday the subject was referred to in thoe house of commobs, He had a few | whers the question ws ratsed whather the chiet of the metropolitan. police should not be superceded by sois one accustomed to investigate crime. So {ntonge has the publie fesling Become, and so strong is the feeling of police in- efficiency, that undoubtedly the govern- ment will be forced to recrganize the police establishment or take the risk of having its failure to do so made politi- cal capital of by the opposition. The latest murder suggests that the flend who committed it, doubtless the same who perpetrated the Whitechapsl horrors, was merely resting from his saturnalia of slaughter, and that he had not fulfilled his most diabolical purpose. It is concoivable timt a person of such unparallelsd bratality as this London murderer might become gatisfied for a time with his fiendish work. The factof his hav- ing gone to another part of the city to continue his fearful ciimes shows, also, that o is a person of great cunning and shrewdness, and strengthens the opinion that he is a man of more than common intelligence and doubtless of some surgical skill. Regarding the motive opinions still differ, but the fact that all the murdered were fallen women suggests very strongly that the murderer is actuated solely by revenge. The whole thing, however, is a terrible mystery, which has created a world- wide interest, ard the solution of which, if ever effected, will doubtless bring some strange revelations. Meanwhile all London is in a state of feverish ap- prehension —ee THE MAADI MOVES AGAIN. Cable alvicos announce that an army of the followers of the mahdi énthroned at Khartoum have captured the city of Wadai in the Soudan. In these regions a country means & city and all the land round about that can be cocrced or coaxed into paying tribute and trans- acting commerce. Conseguently the cupture of Wadai means practically the annexation of a great territory to the groat empire that is being formed in tentral Africa with Khartoum as its center. The force of this growing power is in the absolute union into one nation of the Arabs of Africa with the Afar, the fighting negroes who call themselves serpents, Itisnot a confed- oration like the one existing between the Arabs and the Berbers of Osman Digna, but a true fusion based upon a determination to drive the Europeansout of Africa, and to maintain the slave trade. Thisunion of interests is further cemented by a common religious belief, for the Afar have adopted Tslamism partly because it is exceedingly simple in creed, partly because the paradise of Mahomet appeals very strongly to their sensual hature, but chiefly because they are firm believers in the mahdi, the first one Mahommed Achmet, who died some yeurs ago, and accepted as a fixed fact his statement that he was sent by Allah to the Afar to turn them from Kabirisin and make them the chief in- struinent in rescuing Africa from the unbelieving white men. The English are closing their eyes and their eirs to all the facts in the case. They will not-see that Stanley’s fate had been sealéd before Mijor Barthelot was murdered. The story of the killing of the latter is so ridiculous that it is astonishing that the English government mustered courage to give it to the world. Everything shows that Tippu Tib has united the fotces under his control as an independent Arab prince and slave trader, with Me forces of the mahdi of Khartoum. This means that the man who had Stanley’s fate in his hands turned against him. It scems incredible that the English could have belicved in the fidelity-of their notori- ous enemy Tippu Tib. But mén are prone to beliéve what they wish to be- lieve, and when Tippu Tib signifiéd his willingness to be bought over they paid him his price withdut a thought of treachery. To make the intrigue per- ar one thing alone is needed, and that is the conduct of Mwanga, the Afar prince of Uganda. Ts he in sympa- thy with the mahdi’s movement to ex- pel white men from central Africa, or does he still remain neutral and indif- ferent, or has he become hostile to it, fearing that hisown. dominions might be absorbed? The fate of the white pasha, Emin Bey. hangs upon the ans- wer, and from current rumors it may be conjectured that Mwanga has become hostile to the mahdi, and has found it necessary to extend his friendship to Emin Bey. This will account for the fumor that a white pasha was marching against Khartoum. The news probably is not true, and is simply a negro exag- geration of a possiblo contingency aris- ing from the changed condition of INES. g THE eastern papers concur in report- ing an active movement in all depart- ments of trade, and in noting an im- provement in most branches since: the political clouds have lifted. Undoubt- edly some interests were unfavorably affected by the uncertainty regarding the result of the election, which being released from doubt regarding the im- mediate future are already resuming full operations, and. it is probable that nearly all industries are beginning to show the effects of a renewal of confi- dence, Among the incidents indicating this is the reported resumption of oper- ations in the Hocking Valley coal re- gions,and others will come to notice from time to time. On the whole the trade of the country this year has been good, but the present conditions presage a con- considerably enlarged movement dur- ing the remainder of the year and a preparation for a largely increased business next year. The epinion in eastern financial circles is that there will be no important change in the tr v poliey, and none that might be made need cause any apprehension, The money circulation is forty million dollars greater than last year, and the heéavy disbursements to be made by the government will still further swell the amount available to the business of the country. The provatling trade con- ditions appear to be highly reassuring and the outlook as favorable as could be desired. SpEpT— ON thé 20th of this month a conven- tion of eattle raisers and butchers will assemnble in St, Louis, and on that date the specid! cpmmiittee of the United States senath £9 investigate the beef and mont trade will also meet in that city. It is undggstood that a conforence has been ar od between the commit- toe and reprientatives of the cattlo terest, and ¢ tless the syndicates will also be representad bofore the commit- teo, grantinggtiat, as alleged, there aro syndicatos i!.a,..nmi..g the cattle market. In any event the projectedin- vestigation Willserve a good purpose in enlighteningitNo country regarding the very important subject of the cattle and meat tradg,, concerning which there are Mstatements that if true suggest an urgent demand for corrective leglslation. It is un- qubstionable that throughout the cattle- growing regions there is a very bitter feoling against the so-called Chicago ring, and it is not possible that this hos- tility would genorally exist if there was no ground for it. The senate committee will have but a brief time in which to work before the reassembling of congress, but with the advantags of a convention of cattle raisers and repre- sentatives of the great cattle buyers meeting face to face, the committee ought to be able to go into the matter pretty thoroughly in ashort time. —_— EMissARIES of the Mormon church are looking toward Canada as the land of refuge. Evidently the project of es- tablishing a colony in Mexico has not met with success and steps have been taken to sound the Canadian govern- ment. There is now a small settlement of one hundred and twenty-five sould in an isolated spot in the Northwest terri- tory and the visit of three members of the church at Ottawa 1s for the purvose of securing land concessions from the provincial government. Whatever en- couragement the Mormon elders may receive in Canada, they are careful to create the impression that they do not contemplate the removal of the com- munity in Utah to the protection of the British government. The head men of the chiurch are well aware that Canada will no more tolerate polygamy than the United States. Nevertheless, their pur- pose is evidently to form a nucleusof the church in Canada, & house of refuge for the faithful who transgress the laws ot this country and have become fugitives from justice. IN no other portion of the country has the result of the national electioii been received with more enthusiastic inter- est than by the republicans of Dakota. In order to emphasize their gratifica- tion, and to give it an expression which the whole cougtry may recognize, they are preéparing -$p send a delegation to Indianapolis that must attract attention and give the tirritory a boom in the di- rection of statelibod. Itis reported that an exura sessionof the next eongress will be called toconsider, among other things, the admission of Dikota, and as General Hatrison has dlways been in favor of makinfg two states out of the territory that will be the republican policy. THE business men through the coun- try will heave,.a sigh of relief that the campaign, with its excitemént.and political uncertainty, is now at dn énd: There can be no question that a presi- dential election perverts business from its legitimate channels. There is more or less waste in the earning capacity of every individual during a period of campaign demonstrations. There is an element of doubt mixed in with the caroful calculations of financiers, and a feeling of hesitancy in the minds of capitalists about embarking into new enterprises until the elcction is over. —_—e ——— How it Was Fought. Boston Advertiser. The campaign of 1888 will be rememberéd as the first that was ever fought on a scten- tific basis, The tariff question is a quéstion of political economy, and political cconomy i ence. And it is a matter to be very noted, # matter for congratulation und philosophical réflection, that millions of American people have been engaged much of the time during several mionths in studying the laws of supply and demand, the purchas- ing power of wages, the nature of commor- cial exchange, the balance of trade, the rela- tions of capital and labor, the true nature of money and other elements which enter into that complex whole which we call business, i The World Moves.

Atianta Constitution, It is with heaviijart that we record the defeat of Mr, Clgveland and the return of the republican pafty to power. It is with deep forebodings that we look into the future.

American Analyst: So shall your hair be clean and silk, No amount of combing will male it either. Look well to your brush, No wire brush, no heavy silver-backed brush, but even, well chosen bristles. Abundant hdir is an ornament, but it is a responsibility. A woman’s crown of glory is apt to be a dirty diadem. There is no dust catcher egual to a great shock of hair. Lvery flying particle lodges in the flow- ing tresses that the poets rave over, and sifts down from silken thread to silken thread whether the locks be brown or gold. If your hair be dull in color, wiry in texture and will not catch the burnishing gleam of the last rhyme you read, brush it. If it is los- ing the gloss it had when you were younger, if it looks old and sickly, brush 1t. If your hair is fretful and ecvish brush it till it smiles and be- aves with docility under the comb again. Wash it first, beat an egg into foam, rub it well into the roots, thor: oughly but gently, then rinse it in luke- warin water. Keep a small brush for the purpose—a nail brush or a tooth brush will answer—and part your hair, strand by strand, until you have cleansed the scalp well over. If your hair is moist_ by nature dissolve a little borax and glycerine in the rinse water; if it is harsh and dry use the glycerine only, lest the head after so much manipula- tion feels uneasy or sore. [Mind an airy place—in the sun it the day be not too warm—and ?rush the wet hair dry, Brugh it cavefully with a soft brush till the moisture is nearly expelled. Then stop wetting it and brush briskly with a stiff brush till it is satiny and dry. ———— ‘Wool Protiuction of the World. Bradstreet's: Among many other in- teresting particulars given in a report recontly issued by the Constantinople chamber of commerce, is an_account of the annual wool production of the world, which, as summarized by London In- dustries, amounts to 16,000,000 cwts, of an estimated value of £200,000,000. Aus- tralia supplies 2,000,000 cwts, of a value of £24,000,000, and the Cape of Good Hope furnishes 800,000 cwts, amounting to £10,000,000. “The United Stal with its 50,000,000 sheep, does not gr sufficient wool to meet its requirements, but is obliged to obtan the difference from La Plata and Australia.” The number of sheep in Europe is estimated at 200,000,000, which furnish 4,000,000 cwts of wool, of an estimated value of £36,000,000, Morocco, Algiers and Tunis grow a considerable quantity, while France produces 87 por cent less than it did forty years ago. The Kuropean countries rank in the following order: (1) Russia, (2) England, (3) Germany, (4) France, (5) Anstria-Hungary, (6) Italy, (7) Spain.

His account of the matter was far from lucid and at times he insisted that he did the deed because of a mandate from authe es. Happily the fire scovered in time and extinguished and the old man taken to tho police station, where he remained until the middle of the afternoon. Arrangements were then made by Mr. John Gregory, who has conducted Mr. MeAilister’s business affairs for some time, to have him properly cared for and he was ro- leased. He is at present under the motherly care of Mres. Rippe, wife of Officer Rippe, who lives on the corner of Bighth and C. streets. Since his examination by the insane board MeAllister’s héalth has visibly declined, and it is generally thought that he cannot last long. Dropsical gymptoms have already appeared. Much indignation is expressed that in achris- tian community an old man, not respon- sible for his acts, should be left to him- solf in squalor and dirt, with poor, and often vile, food. McAllister has lived in o way to kill & strong man, and no one has been near to care for him. His relatives have endeavored to have him placed under the care of a_ guardian, but their _endeavors have been frus- trated. McAllister’s property amounts to from $80,000 to #10.000, and it 1s broadly hinted a desire to control it has prompted the treatment the old man has received. The case promisesto develop into somothing interesting, atnd possibly into something sensational. SHUT UP SHOP. To-morrow the republican state cen- tral committee will close up the bus ness matters of the campaign, balance the books and prepate to fold their tents like Arabs and as silently steal away. Neither the committee nor the party at lage lhas reason to feel ashamed of the work the state central committee has done in the campaign. Under its management republican have won a victory which exceeds the fondest pre-election anticipations. Charges of corruption have been ide only by political opponents. The re- main entirely unsubstantiated and the committee will depart full of honor. NOT A LEGAT. MATTER ANYWAY. The committee of the council which has been investigating the case of Ofti- cers Pound and Mitchell, of the city y lice force, informed both parties yester- day that there was no oagasion for coun- sel or legal argument, and the chai man of the committee informed the ofti- cors that it wasn’t a matter of luw any- way; the law had nothing to do wiih thé case. The verdict of the commit- tee, under the circumstances, will not be asurprisi to anyone. The eonviction is stronger that the verdict was settled before the investigation was held. The report of the committee will be given :o-morrow evening at the council meet: ng. 2 SEWARD FALLS INTO LINE.

Depew is authority for the statement that General Harrison owes his elevation to the presidency of the United States primarily to the ef- focts of a dinner party in Chicago. Mr. Depew made the assertion by inforence this morning in an interesting narea- tive of the inside workings of the New York delegation at the Chicago conven tion. Many persons have heard of the dginner by Mr. Depew to the New York delegation after his withdrawal from the foresidential contest on the second day (fi he convention. But the effects of that dinner had not been made public until Mr. Depew told of itthe other day. ““After the first day’s balloting.” said Mr. Depew, “it was apparent that the west was 50 much opposed to tho candi- dacy of a railrond president that there was no show for me; so I determined to withdraw. _Then the important ques- tion was: Whom should the New York delegation support? Their prefecences were numerous, Some insisted on vot- ing for Blaine till the end, and othere wanted to break for Sherman, Gresham and the other candidates. As chairman of the delegation. I called a conference of the four ddlegates-at-large, who, of course, controlled in a measure the course of the delegation. We mot— Senator Hiscock, Thomas C. Platt, Warner Miller and myself. Ispoke first, and proposed that Benjamin Har- rison should be supported, as he was the most available man on account of record as a soldier, his record in the United States senite, and, T confess, I urged his adoption by us on the senti mental ground that he was the grand- son ol old Tippecanoe. “Mr. Platt favored another man. Senator Hiscock had a different choice, and Warner Miller wanted a third man, Still we were all willing to sur- render our preferences in favor of the others for the good of the party. No, I won't fell you the preference of: the other delegates. Ionly say that T alone favored Harrison. A long discussion ensued. I did my shave of the talking, you may be sure, and the result of the discussion the four of us agreed on Harrison. “Phen I ealled a meeting of the wholo New York delegation. All wero present. 1 told them of the action of the delegntes-at-large and asked their opintons. Fifty«ight agreed with us and twenty-four differed. No amount of persuasion could ¢onvince them that Harrison was the man to win. Here was a snag of large size. New York wanted the honor of naming the president; still it could not be the deciding factor in the conyention unless after my with- drawal it would go solidly for some other candidate, “What did I do? Well, I thought the matter over for an honr and then in« vited the delegation to dinner. Idid not try to convince the recaleitrants. I simply gave them good things to cat and good drink to enliven their under- standing. And behold the result. By the time the supper was ended every motber’s son was shouting for Harrison. This result was largely due to speaches by Hiscock, Warner Miller, ex-Senator Platt and Senator Fassett’ who, after the first conference, heartily supported Harrison. The rest is ancient history. New York voted for Harrison and he was nominated by acclamation. The dinner solified ew York's vote. What’s the matter with a good dinner as a political factor?” asked Mr. Depew, laughing heartil Harper's ¢ are many little ways,” said the curio collector, fy one's taste in a very inexs ensive mannc Now here in my cols ection, that piece of broeaded silk I cut a chair in the Tuflerles while my guide was not looking; that gold en- ameled spoon I picked up on the tuble b the czar’s apartment in the palace at St. Petersburg, and that little Rubens over there I carried away [rom o gallery in Florence benenth my clonk.
