BY a blunder of the intelligent comp the figures given in our Butler county returns show that Casper for congross received only 75 majority in his own county, when it should have read 750 majority EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S visit to President Harrison was purely social. The landslide in Ohio and Towa and the joyful psalms of David surnamed Hill were forgotten in musual expressions of respect and sympathy. Tor BEE was the only daily in Omaha abd in the district that upheld the non-partisan judiciary principle, and the result showsin this as in almost mstance that Tne BEE expresses the sentiment of the people. DEMOCRATIC candidates for oity of- fices are blooming at an alarming rate. The resulv of the county election fills them with the belief that they can carry everything. Iv is possible that the voters wiil fool them a trip. Just where the county poor house management lands in the shuflle is yot to be determined. The new county board must make a clean sweep of the barvacles infesting county affairs and place reputable men in subordinate positions. —— FORAKERISM in Ohio, Mahoneism in Virginia, Tom Plattism in New York and prohibition in Iowa are responsible for Tuesday’s defeat.

EX-SECRETARY BAYARD will have thehearty congratulations of his follow- citizéns upon his marrioge to Miss Clymer, and there are none but will wish the couple many years of happi- ness. Mr. Buyard is still a vigorous man, who should have years of useful- ore him, and the new Mrs. is o lady of superior accomplish- ments who ean fully sympathize with the cultivated tastes and the aspira- tions of the distinguished Delawarinn, — RIGID economy is the watchword in North Dakota, The new state officials are met at the threshold with a deficit in revenue, whicn will prevent the ex- teavagant from rushiog through the logislature reckless schemes. The total availuble revenue isa fraction over ® quarter of a willion, and the total ex- venses under the coustitution, inciud- ing salaries and interest on the public debt,will exeeed four hundred thousand dollars, These figures insure u soug deficit, und the new governor declures that it shall not be increased. The people are not in condition to stand an iucrease of taxation, A MERITED REBUKE. Nine years ago Iowa was the banner republican state. The state which gave James A, Garfield eighty thousand majority in 1880, has gone democratic in 1889, This poli revolution is do- cldedly soggostive. Within less than nine years the republican party of Town hae dwindled down by rapid degrees until it has almost lost control of every departmont of the state government. This revulsion in popuiar sentiment cannot be attributed to the selection of an offensive or weak ticket. Nor can the disastor be explained away by the frivolous talk about off year party indif- forence. The campaign in Jowa was warmly contested on both sides, and prudent repubiican leaders recognized early in the campaign the danger that menaced the purty and calied attention to the formidable opposition. The re- publican defeat is solely due to the popular conviction that prohibition has been a failure in Towa, in spite of the most rigid laws enacted for its enforce- mont. The election of Mr. Boies as governor of Town is in no sense u demo- atic victory. On the contrary, it is a rebuke administered by republicans to the leaders ol their own party. Mr. Boies himself was a ropublican until the prohibition crusade drove him and thousands of other ropublicans out of the party. Prohibition was foisted upon Iowa undor false pretenses, and its endorse- ment by republicans has borne its legit- imate D fruit. At the outset the agitators woero simply wen and women who sincerely belleved that intempor- ance and its evils could only by eradi- cated by stringent legislation prohib- iting the manufacture and salo of liquors. This class was comparatively insignificant in numbers. Their efforts would bave proved abortive as a party had they not been ided and abetted by repub- politivians who were dependent upon railvrond movopolies for promi- nenee and influence, and republican organs that wore edited in the railroad interest. In Iowa, as in Nebraska and Kansas, the railroads were interested in ¢ ing side issues that would A tract the people, create turmoil and strife, and keep the railroud question in the background. Pro- hibition served their purpose ad- a number of y By the aid of brass-collared attorne; and such organs as the Des Moines Reg- istery the Cedar Rapids Republican, and the Sioux City Jowrnal, prohibition was made a cardinal doctrine in the repub- lican creed, and the state wus given over to the crusadors, In the vain attempt to enforco prohi- bition the people of Towa were torn up, and while the open traffic was ban- ished the dives, joints and dens have multiplied on all hands. At the end of five yearsof agitation and turmoil Towa has entered a very curn- remonstrance agaihst o policy which has been disastrous to her ma- terinl welfare without very materially decreasing the evilsof intemperance. The republican defeat is not only a very loud protest against the policy of prohi- bition, but a timely and merited rebuke of politicians and papers that have countenunced imposture and fostercd fanaticism at the expense ot the repub- Lican party 1 se ac- THE SUGAR TRUST DECISION. The supreme court of New York has affirmed the decision of Judge Barrett, rendered some months ago, ordering the dissolution of the North River sugar refining company, oneof the cor| tions in tho sugar trust. This result, by no means unexpected, isof the vory highest importance in 1ts bearing upon trust combinations. The action against the North River company was brought by the attorney genoral of New York as a test case, the ground being that the company could not, un- dor the laws of New York relating to corporations, surrender its charter rights and privileges to other partics not known %o the law, and that having done this by disposing of its business, or the control of it, to the trust, had for- feited 1ts charter. This view was sustained in a ful and elaborate Judge Ba.vett, in whose court the case was 1ost thoroughly in- vestigated and argued, and the dissolution of the company was ordered. Appeal was taken to the supreme court, and that tribunal has given the matter prolonged and careful consideration, with the result stated. This establishes tho principle in New York, under ex- isfing laws relating to corporations, that an incorporated company ennnot enter 1nto combinations of the iire~ sponsible character of trusts, and the effect must be to destroy the trusts so far as New York is concerned, which way prove to be sufficient to drive them out of existence ultogether. As to the other corporations in the sugar trust whose existence is subject to the laws of New York, they will doabtless not wai$ to have proceedings instituted agninst thom, but will promptly take stevs to retive from the trust, if that course be still practicable. This would neces- sarily mean the dissolution of the trust, and that event may be expocted to immediately. follow offi- cial information regarding the deci- sion of the supreme court. It is under- stood that anticipating this result, the munagers’ol the trust have been ar- ranging their affairs with a view to breaking up the combination, and there has been o great deal of anxiety among those holding the trust certifi- catos as to what they may realize upon them in the eveut of a dissolution. The speculative value of these certificates has declined heavily within a short time, and those who have dealt in them in this way have lost largely, but the severest sufferers will be the holders who bought them as investmonts. Wheother these invest- Ors can recover or not is a question which the courts may be called upon to determine, and thus settle the question os to the respousibility of those who enter into and control these combina- tions, ‘With the American Cotton Seed Oil company abandouing the trust form and securing u legal status, the sugar trust forced w0 dise wiution by the courts, und cave- decision by other like combinations threatened by the same laws that have driven these to the wall, the outlook is cortainly most promising for an early end to combines for controlling the production of the country, determining the prices of com- modities, and preventing free competi- tion in trade. The public sentiment to which this is largely due should crys- talize itself in general laws that will render a recurrence of the trust mania impossible. t——— OMAHA AS A CATTLE MARKET. There was a time when Council Bluffs and Omaha were rivals for com- mereial and industrial supremacy in tho Missouri valloy. In thosn days jealousy and contention were so intensely en- grafted upon the popular mind that a word in favor of Omaha from any prom- inent man or paper at Council Blaffs would have aroused a storm of indigna- tion and resentment. The whirligig of time has obliterated all local prejudice oun both sides and a conviction that both citics are interdependent and advan- tagoous to each other’s growth and prosperity has taken its place, A striking illustration of this fact may be tound in the following editorial in the Nonpareil of Wednesds Tor a long time thoro has been complaint among those intorested in raising and feed- ing cattlo at tho low prices that have uni- formly gprevailed in the Chicago market. Up to the last two or three years the Chicago market has governed the price of cattle, and sellers have been compolled to accopt them or refuse to sell their stock, Chicago has so long ruled the market with an iron hand that shippers have formed a strong prejudice against it, and in this state, in particular, are not only willing, but anxious, to find another and wore profitable market. Omaha presents tho market if the prices are made satisfactory. 1t is several hours quicker market for Iowa and Nebraska than Chicago, and the rates of transportation being loss, and prices being the samo as aro paid at the ago stockyards, the Omahn market would make a saving of many thou- nds of dollars to the shippers of this state, For this reason the Omaha mariet should bo the warket for lowa and Nebraska., Omaha fully apprecintes this cordial expression of good will, and T BEE compliments its contemporary upon the freedom it exhibits from the prejudices that formerly prevailed, and which Tue as combatted in Council Bluffs and western Towa for many years. If the railroads were not interested in carrying cattle the longest distance, Omaha would to-day We the first, in- stead of the third largest meat packing center in America. With Towa and Ne braska acting in concert in demanding fair play from the lowa roads that tor- minate in Chieago, the bulk of all the cattle and hogs would be marketed at Omaha. DON'T REPEAT THE BLUNDER. It is to be hoped that the board of education will not again repeat the blunder of lnst spring in submitting its propositions for bondsto construct addis tional school houses. No change has taken place in the very prononnced sen- timent ngainst the enlargement of the high school bmlding. That structure is ample for the. high school class, and if itbecomes necessary some years hence to build & wing for the accommodation of high school pupils it will be time enough then to remodel the building and to construct an annex. There is a very pressing demand fora central school honse within a few blocks of the high school building, and tie people will cheerfully vote the bonds for the purchase of the groundsand esti- mated cost of the building. The board should not be unmindful of the sugges- tion made by the people when they voted down their last proposi- tions, that only a reasonable amount of school bonds will Better limit the estimates to the gs absolutely necessavy, and sub- mit another proposition next year. — MR. CLEVELANI'S IHHOBBY. Ex-President Cleveland is reported 10 be highly pleased with the result of Tuesday’s elections. Ie evidently re- gards it ns 10 large measure a personnl endorsement, Although very far from being the author of tariff reform, and by no means the ablest exponent of that policy, he adopted it as the one hobby of his administration after utterly fail- ing to harmonize his party on any other question, and he has since posed before the country as its especial cham- pion, though why he should enjoy a dis- tinctiod which justly belongs to Mr. Carlisle and others Who were reform- ers before Mr. Cleveland made his ad- vent into public life his most devoted admirers would find it dificult to ex- plain, But so it is, and this being the ex-president's only political capital, it is most natural that he should endeavor to swell its value. Therefore it is that Mr. Cleveland re- gards the result of the late clections, particularly those in Ohio and lowa,as an expression of the vpopular judg- ment favorable to his policy of tariff re- form. Is there another man in the country, having an telligent appre- heuosion of the conditions and eircum- stances affecting the elections in the soveral states lusy Tuesday, who would make such a claim? ‘Who that has paid any attention to the matter does not know that tariff discussion in any of the states wis merely un incident of the campaign, in which the great majority of the people felt scarccly any intorest? In Ohio the campaigu was almost en- tirely personal in its character. The course of the vepublican candidate for governor and the third term issue were uppermost in the public mind, This is early shown by the fact that Foraker ran bekiod his ticket in the voting. In localities issues of a strictly local nature influenced the action of voters, con- spicuously in Ciecinnati, whera he democrats made enormous gains owing wholly to the popular protest against the Sunday crusade, which had been prosecuted 1n the most aggravated form of illiberal restriction. As to Towa, all intelligent observers under- stand to what the republicans. chiefly owe their defeat in that state. The tarifl was referred to in the platforms of both parties and was discussed in the campaign, but the republican declara- tion that prohibition had become the settled policy of the state was the prin- cipal cuuse of the revoit against that partys A secondary cause of the re- publicun defeat was the belief of many farmers that the head of the tioket couldynot be trusted to deal fairly with the peaplo on the transportation question, *ItAs equally true as toall the other staték that local 1ssues were up- permost iri'the popular miand, and that the tariff qhestion played an insignifi- |- cant port everywhere. Bqupped, with an eucyclopadia, Mr, Cleveland may be reliablo and inturest- ing, butleft to the unaided exercise of his own judgmont as to politicat affairs, Do easily demonsteates how greatly he must have bebn indebted to the counsel of the late Mr. Manning and of Colonel Lamont, TiE result of the county election clears the field for the city campaign, The lesson of the returns 1s a warning to the ropublican party that success can only be secured in aclose contest by placing reputable men on the ticket— men of integrity and ability, who will command the respect as well as tho votes of the people. The returns on regents of the university show that the democrats polled eight hundred more votes than their opponents in the nino wards of the city. Truo the fullstrength of both parties was not polled, but the indifference which marked the county clection applies with equal foree to the ity campaign, unless the ropublican convention rises above per- sonal ambition and places in the field for the respective city offices men of commanding strongth and popularity. With the odds angainst them at the out- set, they cannot afford to load the ticket with men of doubtful character and competency. To Go 8o is to chullenge a ropetition of Tuesday’s defeat. COLONEL CARSON, the able Washing- ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, appears to have & very good chance of being elected clerk of the next house of repr.esentati He is thoroughly qualified for the position, has the necessary vigor and energy for its somewhat arduous duties, and is very popular. Mr. Mci*herson, who held the office for ten yoars and was the last republican clerk, is again a candi- date, but the general disposition ap- pears to be to give the position toa younger man, GENERAL ( Y’S retrospective view of last yoar's work of the weather bureau indicates a storm moving in the direction of Washington.

No voling precinet should contain moré than four hundred voters. Provision should also be made for a deputy city clerk at every voting pre- cinet, or at lenst one for each wara, to make out afdavits for citizens, who for good cause, were unable to register.

What the Medieval fighters Used to Shout in Battle. Between the war cries common throughout Kurops in the middle ages and the war songs of the late centuries thore is a wide difference, says the Nineteenth Century, although the ob- ject, which was to animate the troops by some common and endeared subjoct of reference at the moment of attack, remains the same. War cries were generally one of three things—the namo of leader, the place of rendezvous, or the figure on the standard. For an example of the first cluss, the of the family of Bourbon was simply the name “Bourbon.” Sometimes an encomium was added, as in the case of the cri de guerre of the counts of Hainault— ‘‘Hainault the Noble.” Those of the kind which consist of a reference to the place of renaezvous were abundant in Scotland, in consequence of the localiza- tion of clansin particular districts and the practice which prevailed of collect- ing them ata particular vlace in times of danger by mesns of a messenger of the *‘fiery cross,” They were also taken from the names of patron saints—that of the king of ngland was 'St fivorge.” ance our standards, set upon our foc Our ancicny word of courage, fatr St. George, Inspire us with the splecn of fiery dragons| Upon them " Itichard {11, The king of nee cried ')\ St. Denis™—the former word allusion, it is supposed, to ¢ mounts on whic on the way from | the direction of t ntjoye. being in rtuin littly etod asanold Italinn writer terms it—"*Milan the Valiant,” An old I'rench herald speaks of some other war cries, somoe- what different from the above; the cru- ' 1o veu;” the cries of in- voeation, u notable instance of which wis that of the lords of Montmorency, “*Dieu aide au premier Chretiny” and the cries of exortution, as that of the ‘A dexuee et o sinistre,” a sulficient emphatic direction to the sol- diers of the chivalrous times.
