Wuar a churmmg fmmh quarrel is now on tap in the democratic party over County Clerk Roche’s shoes. m—— AFTER the Fourth of July the flag of the union will be decorated with forty- two stars. The patriotic American boy should make a note of it. THERE will be another ‘‘grievance committeeto wait on the Union Pacific in a few days. The depot business must come to a head or Omaha will strike. THERE should be considerable grati- fication in Nebraska over the fact that one of her citizens is the biggest man in France, and his name is Buffalo Bill, THE council has approved a number of paving contracts and there should be no longer delay on the part of the con- tractors in pushing forward their work immediately. THE prohibitionists will have every reason to remember Mussachusetts and Pennsylvania. Another such Water- loo and their party will be scattered to the four winds. “SUGAR TALK” is Red Cloud’s sug- gestive way of characterizing the com- missioners’ glowing description of civilization. Sugar talk, however, is apt to cateh Indian flies. Tue late Ilinois legislature passed a law prohibiting, among other things, ‘the publication of stories of ‘‘decds of bloodshed and orime.” But Chicago is a bigeer state than Illinois. Wirn the inereased water supply turnéd on at the Florence setiling basins Omaha is not likely to go dry, even though the prohibitionists’ de- mands for more water have been satis- fied. —— THE sugar trust has squeezed some more saccharine out of its products.

LOOKING TO THE NEW STATES. 1t is well that the republican leaders are beginning to direct their attention to the new stat It is reported that Senator Quay, chairman of the national committee and other prominent re- publicans, have recently been consid- ering the subject of a plan of campaign for the new states. There is, of course, no doubt regarding the result in the Dakotas, and not very much ground for any regarding Washington, although the democrats profess to believe they will have a fighting chance there, but Montana certainly will call for active and zealous work on the part of the re- publicans,and it will be wise for them not to be misled by over-confidence into any neglect of Washington. Indeed, the obvious duty of the republican man- agers is to thoroughly organize the party in all the territories which are to become states, and to prosecute a vigor- ous campaign 1n each, The advantage is with the republicans, and with ade- quate and wisoly-directed efforts they can control all of the new states. It is haghly important that the repub- licans should secure all of the five rep- resentatives in congress, from the new states. They will need them to enable the party 1 the next house to effect such changes in the rules as are necessary to enable the majority to carvy out its wishes. The now narrow majority promises to be further cut down by the illness of Nutting, of New York, and Laird, of Nubraska, neither of whom, if they live until the meeting of congress, will probably be able to take any part in the organization of the house. Itis obviously possible for the republicans in the neat house to be placed in the minority from the death ov disubility of members on that side, and the party can not therefora afford to lose any chance to strengthen its representation in congress. It must make a vigorous effort to secure all the congressmen from the new es and the representative from the Third Louis- iena district, not one of whom can be spared if the republican policy in con- gress is to succeed. It is certain that the democrats intend to make a hot fight in Montana, and they will not ig- nore Washington. Vigilance and a tive work on the part of the republi- cans will be necessary to prevent the loss to them of one, if not both these territories. The party managers ave beginning none too soon to consider the demands of the situation. THE SITUATION IN OHIO. Political affairs in Ohio are begin- ning to attract general attention. The gubernatorial campaign of this year promises to be one of the most vigorous in the history of the state, and the in- terest attaching to it is chiefly in the faet that it will be fought on national is- sues, with the question of the senatorial succession given prominent considera- tion. The republicans will hold their state convention next Tuesday, witi at least half a dozen candidaves for the honor of the gubernatorial nomina- tion. The indications are, however, that Governor Foraker will be nominated. He is not seek- ing it, and on the con- trary hus repeatedly said that he does not desire it, but the trend of sentiment in the party as the date of, the conven- tion draws nearappears to be largely in his favor. Several of the other candi- dates are excellent men and would make a good fight, but the feeling scems to be that the intrepid and ag- gressive governor, who has twice led the party to victory, is the safest man to be again the leader, and his renomi- nation, with the hearty approval of all the candidates, is more than probable. The democratic convention will not be held untii August, and at present the indications are that it will nominate for governor ex- Congressman Campbell, & man of con- siderable ability, who is of the Randall stripe of democrats. Young Allen G. Thurman aspived to the candidacy, as the reprdsentative of the tarifl reform element of the party, but he scems to have secured so small a following as to have dropped out of consideration. sides, the Payne democrats would in any event oppose young Thurman on account of the reflections cast by his father upon the manuer of Mr. Payne’s election to the senate. Perh: no man the democrats could nominate would be moro easily beaten. Camp- bell is doubtless as likely as any mun to unite the party. The Cincinnati Commerciol Gazette is laboring to indueo the republicans to unite for a war against monopoly, and particularly against the Standard Oil company. “The representatives and creatures of this sort of thing,” it says, *tare going to struggle with our repub- licans in Ohio this year for the posses- sion of the state and the continuance in the senate of a trust ienopoly and boodle senator,” and it appenls to the party to novor mind its little squs and come up to the task of down this element in the state where it had its birth, AN OVERWHELMING What weve supposed to be careful os- timates before Tuesday’s election in Penusylvania placed the probable ma- jority against the prohibitovy amend- met at between ninety and one hundred thousand. The result shews that the wmajority will be nearer two hundred thousand, Philadelphia, for example, wias expeetod to give sixty thousand against the amendment, whereus it gave ninety-threo thowsund, Allegheny county, 1 which is is the city of Pittsburg, was sct down for ton thousand and gave over twenty, casting @ vote unprecedented for a special election, Ouly iv afew instances did the results of the vote ngeinstthe amendment fail to considercbly exeecd the estimates, while quite gancrally the estimated majoritics for the amend- ment wero lowerad by the rosult. aggregate vote will probably he shown to be very much lurger than was ex- pected, thus demonstrating the general and earncat popular intercst that was taken in the issue, A Cefeat so overwhelming as this car- ries its owa comment and lesson. It ought to make a very deep impression upon those in every part of the country who are most in need of being impresscd by such a populer verdizt, The peoplo Be- of E‘nnnsylvnnln. like thoseof Massachu-~ setts, had this question presented to them in every phase and most thoroughly discused. The cause of prohibition was ably championed and enlisted the sup- port of some of the leaders in both the political parties. But with the most ample and conclusive evidence before them of the failure of prohibition, and with an experience that abundantly proved the benefits aceruing from the policy of high license faithfully en- forced, the people of Penusylvania, by a majority equaling one-fifth the entire vote of the state, decided that they did not want the constitutiou of the state burdened with a prohibitory amend- ment. A more crushing defeat has never beon given in this country by a vote of the peoplo to any amendment, and it may reasonably be expected to silence for many years in Pennsylvania all clamor for constitutional prchlhmon. And whatever the wrong-hended advo- cates of prohibition may say to the con- , the result isa positive gain for 180 of temperance, High license in Pennsylvania will be maintained and strictly enforced, increasing the benofits that have already resulted from it in reducing the saloon inter- osts and decreasing the sale of intoxi- “The | cating liguors. Rhode Island will vote to-day on the question -whether the prohibitory amendment to the constitution of that state adopted three vears ago, shall remain. The ver- dict of tho people of Pennsylvania can hardly fail to exert a considerable in- fluence upon those of Rhode Tsland, whose unfortunate experience with prohibition had its share of effect upon the popular mind of Pennsylvania. The result in the Keystono state will be regarded with great satisfaction by all friends of true temperance re- form. Tnrre are indications that the cattle business is undergoing a decided revo- lution, which is likely to bring about great chaages in that industry. Heveto- fore it has been customary for Texas to raise the calves and send thou yearlings annually into Colorado, Wy ming and Montana over the famous Texas trail. The pressure of population and the occupation of the best lands in Colorado and Wyoming by home- steaders, however, is gradually obliter- ating the Texas trail. The drovers are compelled to seek more circuitous and expensive routes, Already great dif- ficulties are encountered in driving large bodies of cattle over the m oun- tains, owing to the scarcity of water on the new trail, and complaints are made that both Wyoming and Colorado are developing into farming and stock rais- ing states, to the exclusion of Texas cat- tle. Even should Montana be able to receive all the cattle that Texas may send for years to come, there can be 10 question but that in a short time the present methods of shipment must be changed. What effect this change will have remains to be seen. It is now claimed that the expense of transporta- tion will be so great as to make the business between Texas and Montana unprofitable. But it is more than likely that the railroad lines will adjust their rates correspondingly so long as Mon- tana makes demands on Texas for live stoclk. AMERICAN daring and enter| promise to colonize and revolutionize Central Africa, Stanley took up the work of exploration which fell from the pulseless hands of Livingston and dem- onstrated that an empire of teeming wealth awaited the energy and pluck of civilization to contribute vastly to the commerce of the world. The noted railrond magnate, Collis P. Hunting- ton, i8 now organizing a company to follow the path of Stanley on the Congo with a railroad. The movement is backed by the king of the Belgians, and the bullkk of the capital will be secured in that country. Hun- tington’s record as a railroad builder attracted the attention of King Leopold, and there is no reason to doubt that if he undertakes the job the whistle of the American locomotive will startle the barbarians of that section before many years. The constrection of a railroad through the Congo Free State would be a pioneer in the civili- sation of Central Africa, and bene- fleialiy affeot the trade of this country. THE success of American marksmen at Creedmore and Wimbleton in com- petition with the crack shots of Eng- land is still fresh in mind. The event, woreover, is more vividly recalled now that the famous Massachusetts company, of sixteen, under the command of Mujor Jumes B3, Frost, has just sailed for Eng- land to meet the best shots on the con- tinent. The country may well feel con- fident that our reputation as marksmen has been put into good hands inasmuch, as this formidable militin organization has met and vanquished both military and militia teams in America in many a hard shot contest. The trip abroad gains mldn,mnul interest, particularly 10 military circles, due to the fact that the Springficld rifle is to be pitted against the Martini-Henry vifle of the Inglish. And it is to be demonstrated that Amevica possesses not alone the best marksmen but the most reliable shooting weapon for military service. —— ToE eivil service commission is more than pleased with the action of Presi- dent Harrison, who has amended the rele of the civil service laws doing awny with the limitation of one year n which reinstatements may leg- ullv be made to offices within the classi- fiod service so far as it affects ex-union soldiers und sailors. 1tis an earnest that the president is in sympathy with civil service reform and is likely to favor the reguest of the commission for an extension of the rules to the census bureau. sShould the president fall in | with the views of the commission, about fifteen bundred additional government employes will be brought uander the civil sorvice regulations.

The Engincers Ask an Immediate Decision, and a Strike May Result. The controversy between the officials of the Union Pacific und the grievance commit- tee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive engin- ersover the schedule of wages to apply on thoe Kansas Central has grown desperate, and unless the demand of the engineers for the restoration of the former schedule is soon granted, a general walk out may follow atall points on the line. Yesterday forenoon the committee conferred with o officials, and General Manager Kimball requested that a board of arbitration be appointed, the said board to be allowed to settle the matter. The engineers said that they had no question o arbitrate, and that two wrongs would not make a right. Mr., Kimball urged that the matter be settled in this city, and suggested that the board be of three members; one to be appointed by the Union Pacific, one by the committee, and the two men seclected to choose the third. Though dissatistied, the engineers adjourned to the Arcade hotel, where they assembled to again discuss the arbitration ‘Ivlrm. All the members of the committee re- mained firm on the one point, that there was nothing that the engineers had to arbitrate, and this time made their decision against arbitration final, Accordingly, a sub-committee was appointed for the purpose of notifymg Mr. Kimball of the action of the enginecrs. This committee waited upon Mr. Kimball at 4:30 o'clock, y terday afternoon. The general manager thex mformed them that he had no authority to go further, but assured them that he would communicate with his superiors. Ac- cordingly he dispatched a telegram to Vice- President Holcomb, who is at Portland, Ore., asking for further instructions, and notifying him that the engineers had positively refused to arbitrate. He informed the eugineers that he would do his utmost toward reaching a scttlement by this evening. “Your answer must come by that time and must be a positive yes or no,” said one of the committoe to the general man e thivk,” he said, *“thut this has dragged along about far enough. We admit that such things cannot be done in a moment's time, but we feel as if our leniency has been abused, and unless you give us an answer by to-morrow evening we will take the matter in our own hands.” The general manager was then left to medi- tate on the situation, Last night it was learned that the engiueers, in case a decisi is not reached to-day, will call upon Chi Arthur to order the men out, and that a gen- eral walk-out will immediately follow his mandate. Another important issue in connection with the controversy has just came to light. It is that every employe of the Union Pacific, aside from the engineers and firemen, has been instructed to follow the engineers in case a strikeis declared. District Organi- zer Neesham, of the Knights of Labor, who has charge of all the branches of organized labor on the Union Pacific system, came to Omaha from Deuver in response to a sum- mons by telegram, and has everything ar- ranged for a prompt walk-out of all the shopmen, switchmen and every laborer em- ployed by the company. ‘“Inside of one hour,” said one of the individuals interested in the transaction, ‘‘every locomotive, shovel and all machinery would be brought to stop.” Mr. Neesham could not be found, but that he had been here for several days in con- nection with the trouble was admitted by the engineers, and even the officials of the Union Pacific stated that they were aware of his presence in the city. The fight has re- duced itself to this: Kither tue old scale of wages will be restored at once or a general strike, in which about 8,000 men will walk out, will follow. The Burlington Extension. The B. &M. will to-day resume work on the Alliance extension of the road and will push the lne to the coal regions, Lead- ville and points in the Black Hills territory.

Walter N. Babcock, who just returned from Chicago, where he ten- dered his resignation as gencral agent, when questioned concerning tne matter, denicd all knowledge of any change of that character pending, and also stated vhav he was una- ware as to who would be appointed to suc- ceed him as general agent. The ofticials of the Elkhorn denied that they had been in- formed concerning the proposed consolida- tion of the two departments, but the state- ment that such was to be the outcome is backed up by reliable aathority.

D. Welch, 1835 G street, secretary and treasurer of the Western Manufacturing company, was awakened by a loud noise which he at first thought was thunder. A second later he heard some one working with his safe in the room down stairs, and he thought instantly of burglars. Heranto the back window, where he saw in the darkness three forms retreating as fast as their legs could carry them. He opened fire, sending five balls after them, one of which took effect, as one of the men dropped and another bravely turned around returning the fire with such an accuracy of aim as to muke Mr, Weich feel uncomfortuble for a time. Mr, Welch went down stairs then, and found all the front doors leading to th where the safe stoud, secu He tried the kitchen door and found it wide open us thieves had left it. On entering he found the safe door blown entirely off and lying some eight foet away. A “number of drawers aud his “bunker's case’ were miss- ing., After a hasty examination of the loss, Mr. Welch cstimates that they carried away about §10,000 rth of notes, bonds and stocks, his own individual property, aud about §105 in money, and also & round-trip to Hot, Spriugs, Dak., signea by Mrs. This morning a small drawer containing about 400 worth of diamond jewelry was found uear where the man fell who received one of Welch’s shots, aud & package of notes and drafts was found about a dozen rods away, where they were aceidentally dropped in their wild efforts to escap Mr, Welch offers $100 re for the - tura of the pavers and no questious will ha asked, Nearly cvery house in that block was burglarized about two wesks ago, but little of value was taken, hey located this safe, and knowing My, Weleh's position with the company, thougiit, probably, to make a big haul, buy i this they were disappointed, But it will put Mr. Weich to sowme inconvenience to secure duplicates of his lost papers, Court, The following cascs were filed for trial in the state supreme court to-day : Frauklin RRobinson vs Aifred D, Jones ct al; appeal from the district court of Douglag county.

Barrivore, Md., June 19.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Beg|—Under the skiliful guidance of Charlie Mitchell Jake Kilrain is rapidly getting into condition for his fight with John L. Sullivan next month. His aining quarters are at Hulstead's road house, just back of Drud Hill park, one of the prettiest and healthiest spots in Mary- land. Every afternoon hundreds of persous go out to Halstead's to sco the pugilists punch the bag and take their spins around Pimlico ruce track, which is near by. When Kilrain began to train two weoks ago his weight was 213 pounds, He Las since ro- duced 1t to 168 pounds und expects to lower it o 185 or 188 pounds by July 2, the day ha starts for New Orleans, In a talk with him to-day, he smd he an- ticipated no trouble from those outside the ring, as the first men to break the ropes (and they will be known) under the rales will have the fight decided against their favorites. Neither of the principals, nor any of tho backers, he thinks, can afford to counte~ nance any crooked or unfair work. Sti will be prepared for all emergencies, as ho declares he will have to be defeated fairl, not at all. Mitchell is of the same opinion. The question of the battle ground has been left ontirely with Frank Stevenson. The botting here, while not as lively as expected, is decidedly in favor of Kilrain, odds of two to one, and in some instances of three to one, being laid against Sullivan. An ardent admirer of Kilvain wants to bet $1,000 each that his man will get first blood, knock down and the fight in less than thirty rounds. No one has taken him up as yet. e e, ANOTHER BLOW AT ANARCHY, “Dynamite” Ducey Given a Dose by a Chicago Judge. CnicaGo, Juno 1 pecial Telegram to Tuk Bee.]—*Dynamite” Ducey, one of the most blatant of Chicago's anarchists i the days when those gentry flourished here, re- cewved a shock in Judge Williamson’s court “Tuesday afternoon that he will not forget soon. He had been summoned asa juror and flatly told the assistant state's attorney it was no use to put him on thejury as it was against his principles to convict a mau in a court of law for robbing and he would not do it, “How then,” said the attorney, “would you keep men from robbing other men?" 1 would see that they had what they need- ed without having to steal it. I would give them enough to eat and wear,” Finally the attorney gave him up and ex- cused hid, Judge Willamson theh had his inning, \DS'T understand you,? said be ' 10, ha o archist, ‘'to say that you will not enforce the law if sworn as a jurymani’ *‘That is what I said.” “Well, Mr. Ducey, I'll Jus‘b send you to the county jail for the night.” A bailiff escorted the crestfallen dynamiter to the ja Florence Items.
