A more hrutal and desperate afiray could not well be imagined. m———t——— FLORIDA maintains its reputation as the champion political crook of the union. The republican vote that is not turned to the benefit of the democrucy is not worth counting. -~ — ANorHER Iowa republican congr man safely emerges from the ruins, Gen- eral Henderson survives the charge by a majority suflicient to harrass the enemy for two years more. General bn Is by all odds the ablest man y of the legislature taken from the ranks of the producers, we shall presently see whether wisdom and common sense will mark theirdelib- erations or whether visionaries will be permitted to ride the alliance to death by pushing impracticable schemes. ONE of the most touching items of news that floated into the prohibition camp during the post-mortem services last Wednesday was a dispatch from Omaha announcing: ‘‘Postmaster Clark- son commenced distributing the Calls and Voices Tuesday evening.” DicTATOR BURROWS pompously de- clares that Governor Thayer will remain in the executive chair indefinitely until Powers is seated. This will suit Tue BEE and the republican party gencrally. But how is Dictator Burrows ever going to purge the ballot boxes without first ascertaining who is elected governor on the face of the returnsand then proceed- ing with the contest as the law directs? S——— Tue extinguished firm of Cox & Bushnell show the deplorable effects of demoralizing company. Their output of cock-and-bull stories of riots and ruin in Omaha keeps pace with the anti-prohibi ~tion majority and threatens to become a chronic malady., The collapse of what promised to be two useful careers is tobe regretted, especially so because a few hundred dollars properly invested would have saved them at the outset, —— ACCORDING to the Double-Ender har- mony is assured all along the line be- tiveen the alliance party and the demo- cratic party. The opening overture does not appear to us to be very har- monious. There is just one star too many in that harmonious combination. Mr. Boyd or Mr. Powers must wield the baton before the legistature orchestra can proceed, and we rather imagine that thedemocrats will insist that Mr. Pow- evs shall give way to Mr. Boyd until he can carom a thousand more votes. E—— THE light is breaking through the clouds. The cat is out of the bag. The election African has left the wood pile. All caleulations as to cause and effect have been purely speculative. We have groped in the darkness, as it were, and it remained for a perspicacious English- man to lead us out of the wilderness and put the country in possession of the great secret, A special cablegram from Birmingham informs a misguided public that Mr. Jaffeay ‘“congratulated the World- Herald on the defeat of that in- iquitous measure, the McKinley bill.” That settles it. Mr. Jaffray ponetrated the mists of the avalanche and divulged the true inwardness of democratic tri- umph. The jackass battery wrought all the havoe. And England is awlully happy, doncherknow, THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Assuming that one hundred and soventy-five thousand will be the new ratio for representation in the house of roprisentatives, the vote of the electoral college in 1802 will be four hundred and forty-one, two hundred and twenty-ore being necessary to n choice, Itis prob- able that the above ratio will be adopted, for the reason that if the basis of repre- gentation should be made higher several states, among them New York and Ohio, would loso ut least one member each, and such states will very vigorously op- pose o ratio that would have this result. The late elections suggest that it may be necessary to somewhat change the lists of states heretofore counted as surely republican or demoeratic, and particu- larly to add to the column of those re- garded as doubtful, It is highly prob- able, however, thatall of the states which recently went demoeratic will return to the republican party two years hence, and therefore we place them in the r publican column, with the electoral vote of ench under the reapportibnment. They are: WEPUBLICAN STATES. New 1 North H3Ohio . Ore: ansylvinia. hode Island h 1 Oalifornia Colorado Idaho 1iinois Towa .. Kans Kentue Lout Maryland, Mississippt Total... DOUBTFUL STATES. Connecticut. K West Virginia... Indiana. New York B motal. In 1880¢ ulllm nhldnulul her nlL‘Ltol‘dl vote and Nevada was carried for Han- cock. With these exceptions, und the new etates, which aveall safely republi- cap on national issues, all the states classified s vepublican have given majorities for that party at every presidential clection since the war. On the other hand, the following states in the democratic column have given re- publican majc Alabama in 1868 and 1872, Arkansas in 1808, Delaware in 1872, Ilorida and Louisiana in 1868, 1872 and 1876, Mississippi in 1872, Missouri in 1868, North lina in 1868 and 1872, Tennesseo in 1868, and Virginia in 1872, These states are now, however, securely democr: lic‘ although in some of them there is an undoubted republican ma- jority. New Jersey, heretofore clussed as doubtful, hasapparently become safely democratic, while West Virginia is a possible republican state. The demo- crats place Montana in the doubt- ful list, but there is much better reacon for regarding it as a republican state in o national campaign. However, its vote, whiche ver way cast in 1802, will not affect the result, It thus appears that the republicans will need only one of the four doubtful states, and any one of them will do, to win in the next presidentia' election. Manifestly the chances of their carrying one of these states are vory much hetter than those of the democracy of carrying all of them, ~ The republican party will gain twenty additional electoral votes from the new states under the reappor- tionment, and New York will lose the distinction of being the pivotal state on which presidential elections turn, A NEW MORMON MENACE. The election in Utah resulted inan overwhelming victory for the Mormon candidate for congress. In view of this vesult and the republican reverses throughout the country, the theory is now entertained fn Utah that the Mormons will make a proposal to the republicans at Washington that will be fraught with the gravest danger. The republican pressof Salt Lake City says that the Mormon leaders will pro- pose to give the three electoral votes of Utah and the senators and congressmen in exchange for statehood. It suys that they would undoubt- edly carry out their agreement if the republican government would malke the bargain. In view of this men- ace to Utah, the Salt Lake papers urge that there must be no party politics in the territory until the Mormons are routed and the people thoroughly Amer- icanized. They urge that republicans should stand by the interests of Utah now as the democrats did when their friends were in power. This new menace would seem to out- side observers entirely idle, but in Utah it is regarded as a real danger and is met by the press in the highest public spirit, regardless of partisan considera- tions, The sentiment of the country will come up squarely to the support of the liberals 1in this emergency. The republican party wants no votes in congreds or the electo- ral college that have peext purchased at the cost of American ideas. It wantsno new states stained with the crime of Mormgnism. Republicans are responsihlo for about all the legislation that has thus far con- tributed to the emancipation of Utah. They have heartily co-operated with the Gentiles in their' effort to drown out Mormonism with good American eiti- zens and to develop the resources of the territory. The nervous but patriotic people of Utah need not fear that a re- vublican president and congress, for any political advantage, will saddle the new curse of ‘a Mormon state government upon them. Em——— A REMARKABLE DOCUMENT. The official bulletin announcing the result of the census of 1890 contains many interesting and important fucts which were omitted from the telegraphic summary. Thb population of the United States, exclusive of whites in Indian Terri- tory, Indians on reservations, and Alaska, is fixed at 62,480,540. The in- crease during the census decade was 12,327,757; duving the previous decade, 11,597,412, From 1870 to 1880 the popu- lation increased 80,08 per cent; from 1880 to 1890, 24. In explaining this marked falling off in the ratio of increase Superintendent Porter attacks the accuracy of the cen- sus of 1870 and 1880, and under the seal of the government discredits a former government work., *“Upon their face, these figures,” sags Superintendent | Porter, “show that the populntion has incrensed bolween 1850 and 1890 only 727,545 more than between 1870 and 1880, while the rate of increaso has ap- | parently diminished from 30.08 to 24.57." During the past ten years the immigra- tion to this country was the largest in | any decade in its history, aggregating 5,246,613, The proportion of aged per- sons among immigrants is insignifi- cant, They are generally young and healthy persons, and the birth rate among them is greater than among the natives, By the operation of natural law this number would incrense {o six and a half millions in ten years, leaving but five and a half millions as the natu- ral increase of fifty million people in ten years, Superintendent Porter confesses that his enumeration is disappointing. It would indicate a diminution in the fe- cundity of the population or an alarming increase of the death rate, neither of which can be sustained by reliable data, Porter, however, takes the bull by the horns and boldly declares that the cen- sus of 1870 was grossly deficient, particus larly in the southern states, and asserts that it should have been forty millions instead of thirty-eight and a half mill- ions, It it were possible by mere assertion to inflate the censusof 1870 the ratio of increasein the two decades would more nearly corrvespond and sustain the cor- rectness of the present enumeration. But the fact is too well established that the present consus is deficient by from two to three millions. While the census office must bear the odium of a discredited work. the responsi- bility rests on the law and the system. The work of enumeration, while con- trolled by the consus office, was turned into a vast spoils machine for the benefit of congressmen and political workers, Competency and reiiability were not taken into consideration in the appoint- ment of enumerators. Political activity was the main quaiification, and the re- sult is shown in & work confessedly dis- appointing to the country and unjust to scores of cities and states. TWO INSTRUCTIVE LESSONS, The defeat of the republicans in Penn- sylvania and Michigan, where the can- didates of that party for governor were both men having unclean records, is a lesson that the party cannot afford to let pass unheeded, and it is gratifying to ob- serve that republican néwspapers ave impressing it upon the attention of the party. Reforring to the result in Penn- sylvania, the Boston Advertiser romarks that it was not unexpecrved by the coun- try and is anything but disereditable to the state. There has' rarely been a bolder instance of politicians defiantly braving public opinion than was the nomination of Delamater. The party was notified before he was nominated that charges of the most damaging character would be made against hims, but so completely were its representa- tives under the domination of Mr. Quay that the warning was unheeded. Not only was it clearly established that the republican candidate for governor had been guilty of corrupt practices in order to obtain a seat in the state senate, but what was equally to his disadvantage he was known to be the mere creature of the machine which is in the control of one man, himself with a record to de- fend. The result was that a republican plurality of nearly eighty thousand two years ago was changed to a democratic plurality, There were fifty thousand re- publicans in Pennsylvania who thought it their duty, as honest men, to rebuke the nomination of a corrupt politician with the yoke of a boss around his neck. The situation in Michigan was some- what similar, The republican candidate for governor was charged with breeches of trust while holding public office, and he not only did not disprove thecharges, but admitted some of the most serious of them, and undertook to justify his con- duct by saying that he had restored the money again and the state had lost nothing. But there were a large num- ber of honest menamong the republicans of Michigan who declined to accept this defense, and consequently a republican plurality of over seventeen thousand two years ago was reverted and the demo- cratic eandidate for governor elected by ten thousand plurality, The republicans responsible fot this did their duty as honest men and good citizens, Everybody can understand the nature of theso lessons, Both Pennsylvania and Michigan are unquestionably repub- lican states, but the majority of their people demund that public officials shall be men of upright character and known integrity. Their regard for honesty is stronger than their party sentiment. And what is true of those states is true of all. The people may sometimes be misled into supporting corrupt and dis- honest men, but when they know a man is wanting in integrity they can be de- pended upon to reject them, whatover his claims as a partisan, The ropub- lican party can nowhere afford to put forward for pubic office men whose records are not clean and irreproachable. DISPATCHES announce the modifica- tion of the order recently issued by the interstate commerce commission regard- ing the tariff'on hog products, The order was issued without due consideration for the interests involved. Whether de- sigred or not, its practical effect was to give Chicago an unjust advantage over Missouri river markets, It forbid rail- roads charging a higher rate on live hogs than on packing house products. Had the order been enforced disastrous results to the packing industry of Omaha and other western cities would result. It would reduce prices and thus force shipments of live stock to Chicago. The prompt and vigorous protests of western manufacturees brought the com- mission toa realization of the discrimi- nation, and a modification followed which leaves the railronds liberty to es- tablish rates based on the cost of ser- viee, PreEsSIDENT HARRISON writes a good Thanksgiving proclamation in spite of the flavor of gall in his political turkey. —— Poor old Kansas still takes her bad whisky in the form of original packages. — GEORGE TIMME’S studio is for rent.

Harris, commissioner of education, recently pointed out that in the stato of Massa- chusetts during the twenty .ars the, proportion of crimes against Persons of property to the population of the state has decreased 44 per cent. This the Boston Advertiser construes as an argument in favor of the reforms the labor organizations are working toeffeot. “Wo know,” it says, *‘th the number andcostof the publicschools and the extent of the education fur- nished by them have been increasing during this period move rapidly than the number of the inhabitants. The compulsory education law, the law forbidding the employment of il- litorate youth in the mills and mereantile houses, and every en- actment to decrease illiteracy have come into existence within this time. 1Itis, therefore, perfectly logical to conelude that there is a relation of cause and of- fect between the diminution of lheinous ime and the advancement of public ed= ucation, But we have no right to indulge in any complaceuc So long asan overwhelming majority of crimi- nals, including all kml|~ can read and write, and a still more over whelming majority of the worst kinds of criminals can do so, it i utter folly for any one to suy that education and “good cilizenship are synonymous terms. Theroe is still a greai field for improve ment in public education itsell, and there are other great fields for the moral fur‘mcl‘thc[ndmu ial reformor, the socis reformer and the veligious roformer to cultivate. If any of these ficids are left untilled the state will suffer from the sence of poisonous weeds,” s Relics of Cave Dwellers. What is believed by local scientists to have been the dwelling place of some of the members of the singuiar race which inhabited this section in prehistoric times was discovered by a party of Galena sportsmen on he east bank of the Mi ppi river, near the famous Pilot Knob, about four miles from this city, s1y8 o Galena, I1L, special to the New York Herald. The opening, which is hurl‘[?" largo enough to admit of the passage of a mun onhis hands and knees, is twelve foot above the foot of u rocky blufl, and is reached by means of what seems to bo rtificial steps, which were overgrown h shrubbery. It was discovered in following a wolf which the party had started up, and was but partially explored, owing to tho lateness of the hour, and yesterday the same party paid asecond it to the spot and explored it thoroughly for the distance of about dmile. Among their discoveries was an immense cavern some fifty feet lower. than the entranc above deseribed, the surface of wh was covered by a lake of solid ice, which the-party orossed. Another room was saddle shaped ceiling, covered with cubo minerdl, which glistened like diamonds under the reflection of the lights carried by the explorers. Vaulted passages, some of whosa, boundaries could not be determined; ir- vegular shuped rooms coyered from top to bottom with stalagmites, stalactites and other beautiful geological forma- tions, and immense crevices that seemed to be bottomless were among the other features of the wonderful caves.
