Coupled with the contribution of a resolution by a republican convention in Omaha, the site for the fair is no longer o question of doubt. ANornek Union Pacilic investigation is proposed. These annual enguiries arve chiefly intevesting for what they do not accomplish, and as a measure of relief and recreation for weary senators and congressmen and their famities. BARRING the candidate for sheriff, the republican county ticket will in the main be satisfactory to the rank and file of the party.

In Ohio the battle is already raging hotly, both parties putting forth thoir most vigor- ous efforts. The ndvantages are un- doubtedly in favor of the republicans, but the most careful observers express the opinion that the result is likely to very close. Appearances in- dicate that there is greater hawmony among the democrats than among the ropublicans, and the latter are menaced by the active work of the prohibitionists, Evidently the republicans of Ohio cannot afford to abate their efforts in tho lenst degree or to lose a single chance. In t'ennsylvania all the conditions appoar favorable to the the republicans having about the usual majority for an off year, and the camvaign in that state is not characterized by any excoptional activity on oither sido. In Vir- ginia the professed confidence of republicans at the open- ing of the campaign is hardly muintained. There has been developod a considerable disaffection of white r publicans against Mahone, and whether he has gained enough of the negro vote to offset this is a,matter of doubt. It is unquestionable that the republican revolt against Mahone is of large pro- portions, and the outlook is that he will be defeated by an increased demo- cratic major! The campaign in New York is not yot fully opened, the democrats having made their nominations the past week, but it will doubtless be on full head before the close of the present week. The democratic state convention was distinctly a Hill affaiv, all tho candi- dates being among his heartiost sup- porters. The ptatform is understood to have been the work of the governor, with the exception of the cluuse endors- ing the Cleveland administrationy which was inserted, not without con- siderable opposition, in the committeo. The complete domination of the Hin in namng the candi- di has given Some offense to the Cleveland element, including the mugwumps, and this state of affairs im- proves the outlook for the republi But while the latter may gain somoe- thing from the independents and from the refusal of democrats to be whipped 1nto line by Hill, they will lose all the vote of the liquor dealers very likely the prohitionists will draw from them. Morcover, it 18 not quite certain that the republicans of New York ave entively harmonious. The situation is such as to continue New Yori in the doubtful list. The campaign in Massachusetts prom- ises to be very interesting, quite as much so as that in - O o, with a proba- bility that the result will be close. The republican candidate for governor, Mr. Brackett, now licutenant governor, is an experienced and popular politician, but strictly of the machine ciass and his nomination has not boen received with universal favor in the party. A conspicuous evidence of the dis alfection is the fact that o leading republican paper of Boston is not giving him a ecordial support, while the democratic convention was at- tended by a number of prominent men of vepublican antecedents who in this way proelaimed their revolt. The democratic candidate for governor, Hon. William Russell, has a very favor- able recovd and is expected to make a strong fun. The platforms of the two partie very much alike regarding the tariff. More surprising things have happened in polities than would be democratic success in Massuchusetts this year. The campaigns in other states which hold elections this year, and in which the parties have named their candi- dates, possess no unusual characteristics or interest, and indicate no ch from the uniform result of previous years. b wing ans. UIN IN THE BLACIK HILLS. The letter which we publish tnis morning from Custer City, in the Blaci Hills, will not ouly repay perusal by the goneral reader, but should bs thor- oughly poudered by the moneyed men and manufacturers of Omaha. It con- tains statements of facts of the first im- portance to this city, The growing up of a populution of from thirty thousand to fifty thousand, and the development of various manufacturing interosts which it forecasts are rvesults that should awaken the intevest, and which should command the instant attention of our people. It is not merely that Omaha should seek 1n that direction for an expansion of its market, but that it should especially seek to take part in the manufactures which our correspondent predicts will grow up as so0on as the production of tin actually commences. Concerning the vast stores of tin that exist in-the Hurney Peak re- gion no doubt can longer be enter- tained, the moment it is known that English capital to the extent of over two millions of dollars has alveady been invested there, simply in the prelimi- nary work of exploration and discover Our corvespondent states facts which fortunately leave no doubt in this mat- ter. The veins already uncov- ored are of a number, richness and inexhuustibleness unsurpassed except in Cornwall, Eogland, which have been worked since Ciesar’s time, and are now approaching their limit. Tt looks as though we are to have at our door the largest known supply of a metal which has a practical value ex- ceeding that of gold and silver. THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY, The general opinion at Washington appears to be that it is the intention of the president to appoint Attorney Gen- eral Miller to the vacancy on the bench of the supreme court of the United States, Assuming that the president has so decided, certain papers are warn- ing him not o appoint Mr. Miller, on the grounds that the attorney general is not qualified for this high judicial office, and that haviog been a law part- uerof Mr. Harcison his appointment would be a scandal of the first magni- tude. On the score of propriety the presi- dont would be less likely to experience unfavorable crivicism if he filled the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY vacancy with some other man than At torney General Miller, althongh the op- position would doubtless find fault with any man he might appoint. But obe jection to Mr, Miller on the ground that he is not qualified for the judicial of- fice is wholly gratuitous. [t is true that he has not had a judi- cial experienc but in this re- spect he is no worse off than was Chief Justico Fuller when he re- ceived his appointment, The chief jus- tice of ‘the supreme court stood no higher at the bar of Illinois than does the attorney general at the bar of In- diann. The formor enjoyed, before he ame into pabiie life, no more extended roputation asasla wyer than the Iatter. M. Millor has long been promincnt at the Indiana bar, being regarded as among the foremost lawyers of the state in the xtent and thor- oughness of hi attainments. No one knows this better than President Harvison, if so well, and it is fair to presume that he knows what qualifications are necessary to a justice of the supreme couct. The faet that the business and social relations between Mr, Harrisonand Mr. Miller have been close and intimate may be a good reason why the latter should not be appointed to the supreme court vacanc Ihat his appointment would furnish a ground of much hostile criticism of the president is not to bo doubted, and if he would avoid this he will not appoint Me. Mider. But as to qualifications, the fair presumption is that Miller is quite as well oquipped for judicial duties ns were seoveral present membors of the supremo bench when they were appointed, and that he would discharge such duties honestly and couscientiously OMAHA AND SIOUX CITY. The boardof trade came home feeling jubilant with the idea that they made o point in going up toSioux City and puy- ing their respects to the corn palace. But you can’t make a whistle out of a pig’s tail. Sioux City has never skown any disposition to cultivate friendly ro- lations with Omaha and never will until she has given up the idea that she will outsteip Omaha as a jobbing center. The v next day after the bour of trade had gushed over with compliments for their town, the Sioux City Journul which vepresents th timent of the capitalists up vhe viver, gave a thrust at Omaha in the followin malicious fashion: Omaha is bustling about to see if it can raise §1,30) to catertain the New Enclund people who are coming to Soux ity 1f it can raise tho money an effort will be mac w nduce the guests of this city, for whos coming here A.

In the face of the fact that this county is de- batable ground for both po , the availability of candidates and their chanee of united support was made sec- ondary to a feeling of vindictiveness on the part of certain leaders.

A peculiar sight is witnessed every evening in the neighboring village of Shelton, when myrinds of swallows come home to their nests in the chim- noy of Radeliffe’s factovy, suys an An- sonian corvespondent of the New York Sun. They generally come at the sun hour, and’ there are probably a hun- drod in the floc At given signal the flock will rise high in the air and begin to fly in a circle almost directly over the chimney, or ratner the chim- ney is the pivotul point. After circling around for several minutes one bird will drop like a plummet and disappony in the chimuey. His fall is followed by another and another, until all have found their resting-place.

A Good Story Toid by an 014 ern Gambler, writer 10 the Kansus City A fow years azo | was one of the dealers in a Taro bank up town, and an acquaintanee whom [ liked v much was a dealer in a similar bank in thie next block.

The proprieter of the game my friend deult for, however, was known to be extremely close and moan in money matters, and everybody disiiked him, butas his game was trastworthy, his place was well patronized. [ was not surprised oue day wheu my fricnd came to me aud told “me that *Old Nick’— that'l do for the proprictor’s name— owed him $5,000, representing his inter- estin the game in lieu of a salary, which he refused to pay overr My friend proposed that I should come to this bank and play while he was dealin and he would fix the deck so that I would win out the amount ‘Old Nick sud him. and som :thinr over for my-’ self. Being a dealer myself, und know- g that a sign from my friend would endicate just how the cards were to run through itdeal, I saw that it was pos- sible 1o vignt my [riend’s wrongs and mauke a fow huadred out of *Old Nick. “Ihe first night everything seemed to go wrong. I got the sign to play ‘single out,’ und the cavds ran ‘double out.” [ lost 81,000, and left the place as mad a man as you ever saw. The next day 1 met my friend, who declared that it “was the most astonishing thing he ever heard of; that he had acted squarely all through, and that some- body must have changed the decks in the'drawer of tne table 50 that he had used the wrong one. He offered to make my loss good if [ did not win out the full stal tthe next sitting. He seemed square, and I beheved him, The next mght I played and 1ost $2,000 more, and when [ left the place I was crazy mad. 1 didn’t dare say aoything thers would have hurt me at my own place to have it known that [ was in a brace at another mun’s game. [ decided to wait next day and give my false friond a thrashing at least. The next day, however, the bank was closed and tho dealer had skipped. *O1d Nick had lost money on the ruces, had grown desperate, had *plunge £ and gone ‘broke.’ His partner, my friend the dealer, knew that the bank would lose and roped me in for-a *stake’ to got away., | was terribly angry for [ had been influenced by ny sympathy for my friend and wantod to help him out. “Did I ever get my Well, I should I did, I wuas out west two years ago, and one night strolled into & game.

I felt very queer when I went away, but felt too cheap to say or do auything. I have since come to the conclusion that there's no money in *bucking the tiger’ unless vouare behind the game.

Waiters wera bribed by him in eveory hotel where ho lived and became his accomplices in the slow but sure work of his own de- steaction. On thoir return from Egypt Sarah ana her troupe stoppedat Milan, Ther: Damala could no longer hyde his situa- tion from his friends. Ono evening when seated with his wifo at a table d’hote he was seized for the fiest timo with o fit of delirium tremens in th presence of more than one hunared te vified poople. Around him he suw nothing but rats, who were, ho howled, assailing him, running over his body and trying to eat up his vitals, iy formerly fine fentuves wove then horrible to bebold. Suddenly he imag- ined sceing also rats on some of Iy companions of travel, rushed upon them and tore up the dress of several guests in the dining room. No ono durod to lay hands on him; but Sarah, although frightened to death, scized him in he arms, and by dint of cavesses and kind words, brought him back ot last w his senses. rom that eventful day Sarah had him carofully watched, and as soon as he was back with her to Paris she summoned three of the most famous doctors and asked them to prepare w mixture ex- actly similar to morphine, but thor- oughly inocuous, and induced Damala to use it. At lirst he had been very sus picious and had made a carefal analysis of the new potion, as would have done u thiel who would have stolen counterfeit coin. But he haa discovered nothi and was thus saved from himself for o little while. Sarah, ali absorved by tha rehearsals of **Lena” at the Varieties had summarily loeked him up in her own house on’ the Boulevard Peveire, denying himall kinds of flashes, po- tions, packages and even his street gur- meults, from fear he would escape and buy the voal article at some druggist’s pluce. One day, however, he recovered his liberty, bought big doses of morphine, and had soon fits of furious madness. He was haunted by the iden that evory one around him was persecuting him. He imagined seeing one of his friends spying him from the rails of the Sub- urban railroad, which was running under his window He thought he saw Jeanne, the sister of Savah, coming down, with the help of Jot, from tho story above, to peer at him. through his window while he was injocting mor- phine under his skin. He heard an army of spies shouting to him: **Mor= phine! Morphine!” from under eve board of the floor in his room. And armed with a loaded pistol, he would search the le house, shouting and howling. “'See here the mise They don’t fall!l Th them! They are bullet-proof! Cannilles!” When he was dead, at the end of one of those frightful scenes, there was not to be found on his dilapidated body a single place which had not been sting with oue of the twenty-three Pravuaz syringes he had used for yenrs to satueate himsell with morphine and cocaine.
