M'SHANE AND THE FULLER BOOM. Mayor Washburne's Reform Adminis- tration—Minnesota’s Low Tariff Republicans—Chicago and the Gas Trust—County Hospital. Ciicaco, June 24.—|Special to Tue Ber.] —Well may the stmd Father Knickerbocker and the rest of mankind contemplate with breathless astonishment the daring ambition of the world’s fair city. Asif it were not enough to bring the colissoum from Rome, the national congress from Washington, and from the southern waters the very spot in which Columbus first sot bis adventurous foot, it1s now provosed, as a sort of preludo to the main event, to furnish both the great parties with presidential candidates for the entertainment in 1592 Ono is from Chicago proper and the other from her suburb, the state of Illinois. During the recont meeting of the republi- can stato central committeo the fact devel- oped that an organized effort 1s to be made throughout tho state in_the interest of Sen- ator Cullom’s presidential boom. The chair- man of the committeo, that vetoran cam- paiguer and _astute politician, Mr. “Lovg" Jones, is creditad with eatering iuto the pro- joct heart and soul, and ho has with him Somo of the most influontial mon in the arty. Whilo there is no doubt that the Blaine idea has u very strong hold, articulurly among the younger element n Ilinois politios, the older heads assert that this feeling for the Plumed Kuight is largely sentimental, Said a mem- ber of the committeo: “Blaine is the idol of ull republicans and the greatest statesman in the country, but we oannot use him as a prosidential candidato, The seatiment in bis favor, though strong, is not of a character to win a victory with and our worship of him must always be of & secret character.” The state republican_league, on the other hand, is understood to be favorable to Mr. Blaine's candidacy. 1t wauts to renew the state orgauizations and obtain official recognition from tho swate central committeo, Should this recognition bo granted it will be with the distinct under- standing that the league is to bo subordinate 10 aud act under the direction of the cowmit toe. For the suffrage of the democratio voter it is proposed to presont the name of Melville E. Fuller and the Hon. John A, McShano of Nobraska is credited with leadiug tho move- ment {n that direction. While the Nebraska statesman has been variously credited with negotiations iuvolviug the salo of stockyards in South Omaba and silver mines in Mexico, he has beon allthe while encaged, with the co-operation of other western demo- crats in ovgaoizing a boom for the chief jus- tice. When asked if he had desorted the cause of Cloveland, Mr. McShane repiied that he considered Mr, Cleveland a_great man, but that, m bis opinion, the Illinois man ‘vas tho more available under present circu wstancos. When asked what would bo the attitude of the Nebraska democracy, he declined to speak with authority but e pressed the opinion that it would give hearty WUppOrt 1o o ticket with Justice Fuller's anme at the head, Minnesota’s Tariff Reforn In a liue with the “Knights of Reciproeity" movement, us already published in Tne Bik, somes the announcement of the formation in | Minnesota of a tariff reform orgavization within the ranks of the revublican party. Referriug to this new factor and its probabie ! cision of character. effoct on tho politics of the state, a St. Paul stopping at one of the hotels, said : *“I'ho political forces of the state have been moving in this direction ever since the McKinley bill began to be talked about. There has for a number of years bee a seni ment among the republicans ot the northwest in_opposition to the bigh tarift policy. This sentiment, has recetved the open encourage- ment and support of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and_smaller papers throughout the state who have been constantly gaining in strength. The men who were behind it now foel that the time is ripe for standing out openly for tariff reduction. Although I be- liove, as stated by one of them, that its lead- ers have no specific design with regard tothe campaign of 1892, their action will, no doubt have an important bearing on tho result. When you cousider how strong is the anti- high tanit sentiment throughout,as voiced by such influential republican papers as the Chicago Tribune and due Oxana Beg, it is not hard to under- stand that an initial movement of this sort may have a most important effect on the future of the republican party.” THE GAS TRUST COMES T0 TERMS. By far the most important thing thus far achioved by Mayor Washburne's administra tion is the vontract with the gas companies by which the eity and private consumers aro t0 ve supplied at a substantial reduction on tho old rates and a percentage of the aunual arnings of the companies is to bo turued in to the city treasury. imilar at- tempts to bring this exclusive organization to terms haye been made regularly for years, but without result. The only difference be- tween the present controversy and those of preceding years has been that in this in- stance the city's represcutatives had to deal Lot with the old gas trust, but with the in- dividual companies that formeriy composed it. Yei, although the trust has been be- roft of logal standing by tho courts, {t is sull an entity and thers are those who maintain that the concessions obtained were too dearly purchased, the gas compyuy insisting as & condition precedent that all pending suits aguinst the trust should be dismissed. THE PROGKESS OF REFORM. Although there is hot wanting evidence thut in carrying out his campaign prowmise to divorce the management of manicipal affairs from the spoils systom, the now maycr has granted a suspiciously liberal allowance of alimony it cannot be denied that he has inaugurated u vigorous and salutary policy of roform. Whatever else may be said of him, he is cortainly a man of force snd ae- His auguration was signalized by an order closing the gambling houscs, and the promptuess with which the order was issuod was no less striking than the firmness with which it is euforced, Within twenty-four hours after the official mandate every gambling resort in the city was shut up, and tho combined influeace of their owners with their well known political “pulls’ has not succeeded in opening them again. No less notable is the determined manner with which war is being waged on street obstructions of every description. Out on the lake front over theé Second regiment armory is an _enclosed place known as the city yard, and i this has accumulated dur- ing tho past fow days o collection of curios that would delight the heart of an antiquary The venorable lamp posts which have for 40 long lighted the feet of saint and siuner to the First Methodist church, at the corner of Clark and Washington streots, repose beside brazon signs which recently marked “Tony's Pluce,” “The White Elephant” aud similar dispensarios of liquid refreshments. Bronze lions stand 1n attitudes of violent dispute with irou dogs and huge dragons in black and gilt for the possession of hats as big as beer kegs and shoes in which the feet of the famous Ohjo girl would lose them- selves. Many of theso signs are very ornate and ropresent a cousiderablo outlay, but Superintendent Bell has fallen upon'them all with an impartial bhand and it is sald even the rich and expensive awn iugs, for the erection of which city ordinunces were passed, must share the gencral fute. 1: {5 also said the streots and alleys are to bo cleanad and the smoke ordinance rigidly enforced, although whatever efforts are belug OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNPAY, JUNE 28, 1891—-SIXTEEN PAGES, s, Betts & Betts| 1409 Douglas St., Neb.

Health Commissioner Ware is busily en- gaged in the task of improving the sanitary condition of the lower quarters of tho city. In the courso of his investiga- tions on South Clark street in what is known as “Little Italy,” he hus discovered a most appalling condition of filth and squalor. Ono lop-sided frame tenement nouse throe stories high contained no less than ninety famities. The denizens of this district live by gathering old rags ana cigar stubs and kindred occupations. In these foul smolling keunels the rag pickers and “snipe- shooters” and their wives and children sleep and eat, while from the roofs they dry their rags and cigar stumps. Chickenis and dogs share the quarters of the human being. The owners of theso places will be compelled to sea that they are kept in better condition and it is not im- probablo that mauy of them will be torn down by the city authorities as unfit for hab- itation. e In county affairs the pe on top. Not long since a Swedish girl named Anna Johnson was discharged from the coun- ty hospital as cured, and @ few hours after- ward dropped dead on her cousin’s doorstep. A short time afterward Tik Ber's dispatches told how two men, each with a broken log, had baen ais- charged and driven from the hospital because they had remained out longer than the rules of the institution permitted. During the mvestigation now in progress it developed that a patient suffering from rheumatism had been compelled to get up at midnight and wash dishes and clean medicine bottles; that one patient was worked coutinuously for eighteen hours and that it is the custom to pull patients out of bad to compei them to work. Yet it is doubtful whether the present in- vestigation will result in unything more than the ususl whitewishing. White Commi oners Lieb and Struckman have shown a determined eoffort to get at the facts, other memoers of the board, led by Dr. Braudt, exbibit an equally fixed purpose that they shall do nothing of the kind, and it is improbable thay any radical reform will be accomplished until a logislature can be found honest enough to pass a bill to take the man- agement of county institutions out of the hands of politicians and vest it in av inde- pendent board of charities.
