Republics are ungrate- ful, and Chicago feels big enough to ape this rather disreputable trait. —_——— Tue Denver police force, from all re- ports, has not beon in a satisfactory condition, It has fallen into the hands of local ward politicians who use the police department as a leverage for patronage. The result is, as might have been expected, that the depart- ment has become ineflicient and demor- alized. A demand is made that the po- lice force of the city be put under the control of police commissioners ap- pointed by the governor. Denver hus arrived at that station in her growth where a revision in hercharteris neces- sary, She would do well to follow the example of Omaha and Kansas City and clean her skirts from the taint of local corruption in the management of her municipal attairs. il the, IMPORTED ELECTION REFORMS. The State Farme: alliance has, among other other reforms, recom- mended the Australian system of elec- And venture to assert not one of fifty members of the allinnce knows anything about the practical op- erations of the system. They talk about its wholesome effect in Massa- chusetts, where it is yet to be tried.

Tt would require at least three hundred judges and clerks of election, policemen and hun- philosophers and friends to instruet the uninitiated into the mys- teries of ticket marking. At three dol- lars a day for each of these ofticials, the expense would mount up to fifteen hun- dred dollars. Then comes the expense of stationery, ticket printing, ete., which this paternal system contem- plates, In view of the clections take place twelve months the ould not fall juire more plac ¥ with voters, 1 one hundred one dred guides, fact that at least three in Omaha every lowest estimate short of from twelve thousund to fifteen thous- tnd dollars a year for election expenses, which would incrense exactly i ratio with the of popula- tion. In a city of twohundred thousand population every under the Auscralian system would cost from ten thousand to fifteen thousand dollars. The advocates of the Australian reform do not, however, care what expense would be incurred, so long as their pe- culiar hobby would be introduced. But is the Australian system the only effective remedy against the bribery and intimidation of voters, and against repeating, ballot box swin- dles and all the frauds practiced under our present clection laws? 1f so we should certainly favor its adoption no matter at what cost. We feel con- fident, however, that our legisiature can devise election reforms that will be more simple, costly and fully as ffective in checking election frauds as any law imported from Australia, With arigid registration law for cities and restrictions that will compel the estab- lishment of one voting place for evory three or four hundred voters, with regu- lations that will prevent anybody e cept the voter from approaching within fifty feet of the polling place, and a law that will requre all tickets to be of a uniform texture of white paper of a prescribed width and length, and with clearly defined qualifi- cation for clerks and judges and com- pulsory attendance of these officers—the worst evils of the present system will be doue away with. We do not intimate that these reforms will do away with bribery at elections. No method yet devised in Australia or any other coun- try has ever been effective in that re- gard. Bribery of the actual yoter and payment for votes delivered to the pur- chaserin onen market can be suppressed under our vpresent laws if our constabulary would do its duty. But the moro dangerous and far reaching system of bribery that rewards with woney, desirable employment, political patronage or valuable gifts, men who wield au influence over large or small bodies of voters, like double distilled poison is most difficult to trace and sel- dom if ever can be reached by the arm of the law. incrense election HE GIVES IT UP. It is announced that Mr. Bromley, who has been acting as assistant to Mr, Charles Francis Adams, will retire from that position, and the department of which he is the head+ will be abol- ished. The duties of Mr. Bromley, it appears, were to assist the president of the Union Pacific in his efforts to secure a settlement with the government and to mnform and influence the press re- garding the wishes and aims of the corporation. It seems that the ex- journalist has been successful to the extent of “*moderating” the tone of the press, but the failure of the scheme for asettloment with the government, as contemplated in the Outhwaite bill, renders unnecessary any further effort to influence public opinion through the newspapers, and therefore a large item in the annual expenditures of the Union Pacific is to be cut off. In his letter to Bromley, Mr. Adams virtually gives up the long fight he has been making to obtain for the Union Pacific a sixty or eighty year exten- sion on its government debt, and inti- mates that he does not intend to renew it. His disappointment is not con- cealed whon he says he has ‘‘waited four yoars in a futile attempt at honest settloment,” and has no more years to give to the work, But Mr. Adams should really be vory well satisfied in contemplating the fact that his efforts during these four years have been effective in preventing logislation that would have secured an honest settlement of the Union Pacific obligations. In accomplishing this he has done much more than would have been possible with congresses faithful to the interests of the people and the rights of the government. The letter of Mr, Adams suggests that he is growing weary of the arduous du- ties of a railroad president, and gives color to the recentreportof hisintended retirement. He plainly foresees that there will be no legislation of the kind he desires by the present con- gress, and evidently does not hope for anything from the mext. It will not therefore be surprising if Mr. Adams shall determine to lay aside the and responsibilities of a position which apparently has brought him only disappointment. AN OVERWORKED COMMISSION. There is one criticism to be made upon the work of the inter-state com- merce commission which should im- press itself upon cong It refers to the statistical dopartment, the informa- tion furnished by which is both inade- quate and to a considerable extent in- The explanation appears to bo of the commission’s ry much greater de- an it was possible ical cares correct. that this branch worlk has had a v mand made upon it t to meet with the service provided. limited ¢ The enormous ex- tent of the labor devolved the officer in charge of the department of rates and transportation will be un- stood when the fact is stated that no than two hundred and seventy thousand tariffs have been received and filed, and that they continue to come in at the rate of five hundred n day, 1 quiring a force of fourteen men to tend to them. Formerly this offi also had charge of the statistics, but when it was found that he could not manage both, a subdivision was created for the collection of railroad statistics and placed in control of Prof. H. C. Adams, The report of the commission just is- sued, so far as relates to the statistics supplied, is disappointing. Tt does not appear that this is due to incompetence or any iack of diligence on the part of Prof. Adams. Having had nothing to do with prescribing the information to be obtained, which he evidently thinks might have been modified to advantage, vhe statistician was handicapped at the ouatset. The intention w to obtain statistics more complete and detailed than those of any other country, and while in order to do this both labor and oxpense wore imposed on the railroads, the provision made for enabling the sub-division charged with tabulating and classifying the facts was wholly inadequate. The commission and the railroads were both overwhelmed with the work laid out, and as a consequence it has been found impossible to obtain roturns available for tabulation from more than about one hundred and twenty thousand miles of railroad, and the results from these have not been put in shape to be printed. But even more to be regretted than the inadequacy of the information is the inaccuracy of much of it, for which perhaps there is not so good an excuse. Such a discrepancy, for example, as crediting Towa with a little over three thousand miles of railroad when the milenge of that over eight thousand miles, plained on the scor work, and there is a number of other misstate- ments quite as serious. Of course the appearance of such errors must tend to discredit all the railroad statistics in the report, and instead of the public being able to accept them as author- itative and conclusive, they cannot safely be talken without verification. Practically, therefore, the labor of the commission in this direction is under present oircumstances valuciess, and unless provision is made to enable it to perform the work thoroughly and accurately, it would bettor be given up, or at all events reduced to an amount that will insure correctne: The commission should not be left in a position that will again subject it tocriticism of this kind, and if congress is not disposed to require less of it there should be move liberal provisions made for enabling it to prop- erly perform its duties, which have in- creased in both variety and volume. Tie rocommendations of City En- giucer Tillson that the paving of new streets this year should not be pushed too rapidly, are worthy of attention. With forty miles of paved streets there are certainly no pressing needs of ex- tending the work on the munificent scale of last year. In 1888, one million dollars were oxponded for the purpos and miles of wooden pavement were laid where travel is comparatively light. As suggested by the city engineer the plans for this year contemplate the paving of portions of the residence streets and extending a few thorough- fares farther into the suburbs. This naturally would call for that kind of paving material best adapted for light trafic. The dissatisfaction which exists as regards to wooden block pave- ment, should induce the city authorities to investigate the merits of the vitrified brick before the opening of the season. If it can be shown that brick 1snearly as cheap and more durable than the cedar or cypress block, there can be no question that property owners would give it the preference. upon loss who went \go to help THE real estate agents down to Lincoln two years the boodle gang mutilate the charter, and speceeded by their underhanded work in cutting out the provisions for parks and boulovards, and the right of the city to extend its limits over the area now within the corporate limits of South Omaha, are at this time on the anxious seat to have these much-needed provisions re inserted in the charter. Had these people not been so short-sighted and imbued with spite-work towards the editor of Tue Bk, who championed boulevard and park provisions, Omaha would have acquired from one to two thousand acres for parks and boule- vards, outside property would have been booming, and there would have been employment for thousands of working people who are now idle or have been compelled to seek employ- ment elsewhere, —eeeee OvVER in Fort Dodge, Ia,, a deacon has pleaded guilty to violating the pro- hibition law.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Horrible as the stutement is, there can be no doubt that the rites of voudouism are being openly practiced in Hayti, with all their revolting accompaniments of cannibal- ism and drunken orgies. The existence of this religious faith among the negroes of Louisiana has been often asserted, and as often denied. But the rite was practiced in open daylight by the army of Hippolyte be: fore leaving Jacmel, to meet the forces of Legitime. Open adoration was paid to a ser- pent of the python breed, and & young girl was roasted alivo at the stake, and her body was then divided among the soldiers, cach one receiving a fragment of the palpitating flesh, After which, there was an orgie of drinking and debauchery in which the whole community, men and women, eagerly joined. The followers of Legitimo b their de- eat to the invinciblo fetish of this rite, and f Hippolyte becomes the president there will be a renunciation of Christianity and a relapse into the worship of the tree and the serpent. It was dictinctly stated by Froude that the negroes in Jamaica, after the aboli- tion of slavery, had a hankering for the faith of their ancestors, the knowledge of which was a sort of Freemasonry among them. He foretold in his book about the West Indies that the Havtians would soon relapse into voudouism openly, and his prophecy has been absolutely verified, 1ts « P The Maharajah Dhuleep Singh is in Paris on the road to Russia, where he intenas to reside for the future so that he may be at hand, in case the czar should happen to want a monarch for Indin. Ihe readers of Tacitus will remember that in the life of Agricola mentiou is made of an Irish prince who was on the staff of the Roman gencral, in case he might be needed. RRussia has always an Afghanistan pretender on hand in the same way, the present one being Ishak Khan, who badly defeated some months ago a Tashiirgan, and who is uow at Samarkand drawing a pension from the Russiau govern- ment. Dhuleep Singh is a Sikb, tho son of Runject Singh the Lion of Labore, and he was a baby when his brothers Shere Singh and Maun Singh rose against the British. He did not forfeit anything to the govern- ment, and during his long minority his prop erty was carefully looked after by English guardians, He was, therefore, extremely wealthy, and still is. His first ambition was to anglicize himself, and he bought an es tate in Yorkshire and rode to hounds and shot pheasants with much enthusiasm, and endeavored to marry some English young lady among the aristocracy. But no onc would accept him, and he at last espoused an English governcss, who scems to have im- bued him with her own hatred of tho Rng lish, Since she has become his wife he has sold his property in England, has renounced christianity, and has openly spokon of his rights in the Punjaub, now a part of the dis trict kuown as the northwest proviuces of India, Nothing would please his wife better than the humiliation of the nation to which she belongs, but from which she never ro- ceived anything save insults and a miserable pittance.

The latter have a cablo line from Suez to Aden, and another from Adan to the Cape of Good Hope, taking in Zanaibar on the way, and the English ure disposed to be exceedingly frank over the misadventures of the Ger- mans. They seem to imagine that the English have a patent for colonization and that the Germans in trying the same game were infringers. It is certain that the German East African scciety has detormined o withdraw atself temporarily from Zanzi bar, and that the German war vesscls have been unable to hold any poiuts by landing purtios, for whenover they have done so, they have been attacked by overwhelmning numbers and forced to their boats.
