A¥TeER the democrats have held their primaries, it will be proper to size up the various candidutes on both tickets, and knock out the black sheep on the list. - GOVERNOR THAYER has paid his compliments to border ruflian Hascall in an interview published clsewhere. The governor has formed u very corre idea of the man with the iron jaw. Wiri the Molly Maguires reorgan- ized in Pennsylvania, and the kukluk a, n e ing on their antics in the south, there is evidence that lawlessness though crushed to earth will somotimes . GOVERNOR THAYER deserves credit for the nerve he displayed in refusing to endorse John M. Thurston, the mast notorious of railroad lobbyists and cor- rvuptiouists of legislutures, for a place in the next cabinet. WneN a man like Manville can squander hundreds of dollars on saloon loafers and bummers to get himself re- nominated for the council, it is mani- fest thut he intends to re-coup himself at the public expense. i terrible wreck reported from Colorado, where two trains tried to pass eaclt other on the same track, is probably another instance where an un- derpuid or overworked train dispatcher will be obliged to shoulder the blame. JUDGE DUNDY'S charge to the grand jury upon alleged election frauds in Douglus county may cause a slight breeze in certain quarters. Men who voted early and often in obedience to their masters, will keep shady for a while at least. e nomination of eats’ paws and weak men for the council by no means insures election. When the citizens of Omaha will step up to the polls on De- :ember 3 they will cast their ballots for the West man, irrespective of parties, and that often moeans an independent candidate IF 11 nominations at the primary elections of the two parties are cap- tured by ringsters, boodlers and roust- abouts, the ouly remedy tax-paying citizens will have is to induce rst-class men to allow themselves to be voted for vegurdless of party. The boodlers should be made to go. MENTION has frequently been made of the gall of o Chicago drummer, but nothing can exceed the gall of a rabid, cantankerous democrat standing up ina vepublican primary ana challenging some of thoss present on the ground that they were not republ There is but one way to deal with such a man —hit him with 3 maul. ans, THE pathetic stories of the eviction of the unfortunate settlers from the Des Moines river land company’s lands can not be read without stirring one’s sym- puthics for the evieted people. The su- preme court undoubtedly decided the question of the legal title to the land as in its judgmeunt scemed right, For all that many an inuocent settler has been made a homeless wanderer HENRY GEORGE'S theory of a single land tax has found suppgrters in Da- kota who will try to incorvorate the idea in the constitutiou of the prospeet- ive state, Dakota may be ambitious to solve all the perplexing problems of government and taxation, but the young state will find that new-fangled ideas are not always practicable, Tue probable secession of demo- cratic members of the Grand Army of the Republic in eight states, and the formation of & new order, must ur- prise every one. As a rule after a presidential election is over there is an end of all feeling, but this move- ment is an excoption. The defeat of Grover Cleveland rankles in the breasts of these seceders, and they can no longor grasp in friendship the hands of comrades who voted and worked for Hurvison. This is a sorey exhibition, and it is all the sorrier because General Palmer, of Illinois, 15 one of the seced- wr THEE OMAHA DAILY A CHANCE OF COMPROMISE.

A canfor cans is expected to be held in Washington the latter part of the ent week to consider the tariff problem, to consider the surp! confronts ikely that t influcnee with at least members of the hious nee of repul ime purpose bein bility of pushing the h both houses. It is hoped that with a few changes it may be made ac- sle toa sufficient number of demo- orats in the sage. This course is g licved among republi preferable to a delay of fifteen months, when the discussion would have to begin anew in the next con- gress, and af this veasonable view can be impressed on a portion of the demo- crats ot much difficulty will bo ex- perienced in arranging a compromise bill. It is not to be expected, of cours that Mills, Breckinvidge and the other yadieals will liston to any proposition ions, but there are members jority who it is thought will be more reasonable. Senator Allison, in un interview regarding the outlook for tarifl, expressed himself somowhat fully that a minority of democrats in the house might be induced to favor the senate bill with some modifications, he was not sanguine of any ical vesult. In order to get the quession before the house the consent of the speaker and a majority of the ways and means com- mittee would be necessary. A compromise ought to bo practica- ble. The two branches of congress are nearly agreed us to the main items of reduction. The widest difference is on the sugar taxes,which the senate would reduce about twenty-nine millions and the house ten wmillions. The country would doubtless be satisfied if the amount of reduction were made twenty miltions. The measures of both houses propose to take about twenty-five mil- lions from the tobacco taxes. The free list of the senate hill would require to be somewhat increased, as it pro- vides for a reduction of ouly six millions against twenty millions in the house bill, and it ought not to be difficult to agree upon a free list that would give a reduction of say ten millions. This would make a cut in the revenues of fifty-five millious, to which add seven millions by taking the tax from alcohol used in the arts, and there would be a total reduction of sixty-two million doliars, which is doubtless as far as it is expodient to go at present. All republican opinion of any weight expressed since the elaction has been favorable to revenue reduction, and if the democrats in the house are not in- tractable it may be effected at the com- ing session. A short time will develop what their disposition i senate bill house 1o secure its pas- snerally s to he- be for conce of the m though A WEAK SPOT. The most successful device by which railroads evade the restrictions of the interstate commerce law 15 freight clags- ification. It isan easy matter to bill merchandise under different classifica- tious, 50 that the friends of the road, as the favorites are called, can grow rich, while those who are outside of the magic circle are gronning under bur- densome tolls. If *the mys- teries of railroad bookkeeping und freight billing were made public the true inwardness of the attachment that exists between certain shippors and the managers of the road would be found in the pecaliar methods of class fication. If there are to be any amend- ments to the inter-state act in the coming congress the friends of railway regulation should by all means see 10 it that uniform freight classifica- tion shall be enforced on all roads. LOOK AT RESULTS IN OMAIA. A few daysago the following pava- graph, which first appeaved in the St. Louis Glohe-Domocrat, was veproduced by Tie Bie: The probibitionists will be future political contests to do harm thing except to the temperanco cause. For veprinting this paragraph a lead- ing lowa probibitionist takes Tite BEi L and sends us with his letter a paster-iabel with large, white lettering on a biack background, on which is inseribed: High License a Failure,—~Look at Chicago. —License feo in 1832, 852; in 1857, $500; in 1882, 3,750 saloons; barrels beer sold, 872,228 ; arrests, 32,500, 1u 1857, saloons, 8,944; bar rels beer sold, 1,074,146; arrests, 46,505 LOOK AT RESULTS IN OMAHA,—Kan- sas City, Minueapolis and other cities where the experiment has been fully tried. We do not propose to make an analy- sis of the results at Chicago. We do not, however, concede t the figures given as to the relative liquor traftic in Chicago in 1882 and 1887 show high 'nse to have been a failure. Chicago s added more than thirty y cont to her vpopulation within the five years eited, whiclr at low license would have given her four thousand eight hundred and eighty-four saloons in 1887, instead of three thousand nine hundred and forty-four, or nine hundred more than she had in 1887, And yet it is deceptive to quote 1887 for Chicago when low license had just been repealed and hun- dreds of saloons were kept up that were closed later on. Nor is the quantity of beer sold in Chicago any cri- terion whatever, because the sales of her breweries represent her sales to hundreds of towns and cities in Illinols, Indiava and even prohibition Iowa. But look at results in Omaha. In 1881, when the liceuse was raised from commerce powerless i to any-, severely to vasl one hundred to one thousaud dollars a year, Omaha with a population of thirty thousand six hundred maintained one hundred and. gixty-two retail liquor shops. In 1888, with a population of over one hundred thousand, we have | about two hundred and fifteen retail liquor dealers. Tn other words, under Tow Omaha, with h present spulation, should have had not five hundred and twenty- jve saloons, or more than duouble the number she really has under high license. Where in 1581 Omahn had eleven saloons for every two thousand of her population now has less than five saloons. This is the result in Omaha, and the wholesome effect high liconse has had toward decreasing the evil of the liquor traflic cannot be g To quote Omaha in proof that high license is a failure in the faco of the known fact that Omaha is asorderly and temperate as any city of equal population on the ent, is utterly indefe MADE A MESS OF IT. The extensive public improvements which have becn undertaken in South Omaha since the deluded citizous of that corporation voted to plaster the town with mortgages contractors’ combines and city council vings. Thiswas by no means ufie pected by disintevested observers lik THe Bk, In the first place the schemos of public improvement were not half matured, With a notoriousl incompetent engineer, and inexperi- councilmen, nothing bet- could have been oxpected bungling and jobbery. There was no necessity whatever of loading down the property owners of South Omaha with the cost of viaducts which should have been built by the railroads for their own protection and that of the public. That item alone involves a mortgage debt of nearly one hundred thousand dollars which will grow more burdensome as the years go on. The alleged impositions and frauds in grading are also the fruit of rushing into improvements without well-digested plans, proper competition and competent supervision. The South Omuha people made a mess of it from the outset in their anxiety for separate city government, which chiefly benefits tax shirking syndicates at the cxpense of the owner and taxpayer. A fow years of such independence will 1n- evitably result in municipal bank- ruptey. liconse han she nsnid, conti enced ter than THE deputation of leading citizens of O’Neill who have come to Omaha for the purpose of securing direct railroad communication with our city, should re- ceive proper attention and encourage- ment at the hands of our business com- muuity. It is an awakening to the fact that the best interests of Holt county, of which O'Neill is the county seat, is served by a closer business relation with Omaha. It opens the eyes of the railroads centering at Omaha that the people of the state ask, and will have proverrailroad facilities into the Me- tropol The fact that the delegation received littie encouragement from Manager Holdrege of the Burlington for an immediate line passes for nothing. The reason given by Mr. Holdrege that the state bourd of transportation is to blame for the lack of railroud building in Nebras| present is shallow. It is, moreover, false. The Burlington has just sent its graders and track-layers into Box Butte county to extend the Broken Bow branch two hundred miles into Wyoming. The citizens of O’Neill may depend upon it, that the Burling- ton management will think seriously over the proposition to extend the B. § M. into theircity. The extension of the Illinois Central, as 18 highly probable, across Nebraska, will not be allowed to 0 without & counter movement by the Burlington, the Union Pacificand other roads.

The commanding officer, fearing that some of the men might become aflocted whilst the vessel was in a Haytien port, would not allow anyone to quit the vessel, and the surgeon took every possible precau- tion to preveut attack, But in spite of all that was done, some of the men de- veloped yellow fever cases, and among them the surgeon, wholived during the passage back to Brooklyn, but died a few hours after he was carried to the hospital, There were no microbes in this case.
