THE republican ship Nebraska is safo- 1y harbored but she cannot ride future storms in safoty until some of the parnacles eating into her bottom wre re- moved. Among these the most pest iferous and destructive are the do- nothing secrotaries of the State Board of Transportation. CLEVELAND was very much gratified by the election of Flower, Russell and Boles, but the defeat of Campbell in Ohio took uway a large part of his on- thusiasm. Not only so, but he is decid- edly satirical in his reflections upon the methods employed by his suceessful par- tisans in the three states named. itz whaleback for shipping Liverpool having demonstrated be question the feasibility of di portation from lake utilized for passengor service in to vond ect trans- orts is now to be At loast some of the friends of the new style of water-oraft express great confidence in its future ns o passenger vesse GREAT BRITAIN is vory much wrought up over tho election of Major McKinley, In the eyes of the Britishers the pro- teotive policy of America hung upon the question of his defeat or election, The people of England take little com- fort in the fuct that the democrats cap- tured New York, lowa and Mussachu- setts, Tne New York stay-at-home vote is chiefly responsible for the outcome in the recent election. Flower's majority in New York is but 58,817, In presiden- tial years it take from 50,000 to 85,000 majority in New York and Kings county to hold the balance of the state to dem ocrncy. The stay-at-homes keep New York doubtful. Tie Randall club of Pittsburg, Pa., telegraphed its sympathy to Governor Campbell in his defeat, but coupled with it a bit of biting sarcasm in which it ex- pressed the hope that the club might be present at his inauguration to the highest office in the nation, The tele- geam was well intended without doubt, but under the circumstances was ill- timed, ! of Bishop Perry PROIIBITION MUST The Episcopni bishop of testimony to the failure of pre in that state.

PENMNSYLVANIA ALL RIGHT. Pennsylvania still holds her place in the list of strong republican states. It was feared that she would repeat this year the action of last year, when the democrats elected the governor. For a time there appeared to be grave danger of republicun defeat in the state. The disclosure of enormous defaleations by republican ofticials in Phila- delphia, involving, as was made to appear, stato officials, guvo the democracy a very forcible argument for a transfer of the administration of affairs from republican to democratic control. By way of strengthening this argument the democratic governor called u special session ot the senate to consider the charges against the state troasurer and state auditor, and to remove those officials the charges wero sustained. Every- th possible was done by the democratic managers to improve their opportunity, but Pennsylvania reaflirms her republicanism by giving the repub- lican candidates a plurality of between 50,000 and 60,000. The election of Governor Pattison last vear was a merited rebuke of the polit cal domination of Quay and a proper re pudiation of the man whom he caused to bo nominated. Subsequent events fully justified the course of thousands of republicans who either did not vote or gave their support to the democratic candidate. The last republican conven- tion was free from the Quay influence, he having wisely heeded the demand to keep his hands off, and men were nominated whose recoras and character commended them tothe confldence of the party. The result demonstrates that republican principles have lost no ground in Pennsylvania, and that while thero is enough of independence among republicans to repudinte un- worthy men the Keystone state can still be relied upon to stand by the principles of the republican party whenever they are at stake and the party is represented by capable and honest leader: POSSIBLE NEW UANDIDATES. The election of Roswell P. Flower in ew York and the re-election of Gov- ornor Boies in lowa and Governor Rus- sell in Massachusetts naturally suggest the question whother these sful democrats may not play a conspicuous part in the national convention of their purty next year. It i3 well known that there is a very considerable element in the democratic party in favor of looi- ing outside of New York for a presiden- tial candi This element believe that the time has come for the democ- racy to take up a western man us the party standard bearer, but hitherto the trouble has been that the west offered no available man. Now it has one in Gov- ernor Boles, who goes as far as Mr. Cleveland rvegarding tariff reform and whose views as to silver are more acceptablo to the musses of the party than arve those of the ex-president. General Palmer of Tllinois said a short time ago that the democracy could do much worse than to name Boies as its presidential candi- date, and it is by no means improbable that this opinion of the veteran poli- tician may become widespread within the next year. A combination of Boies and Russell—lowa and Massachusetts— would be one by no means to be despised. But vory much dopends on how New York will stand in the next national convention of the domocracy, At a banquet a short time ago attended by Governor Hill, a local orator, ussuming to speak for the democrats of New York, nominated him as their candidate for the presidency. The reply of the gov- ernor was that “all will depend on the result of the present election,” That result being favorable to the party of Mr, Hill it is to be presumed that he is still in the race for the presidenc If this is the case, and he remains in it will mean adivided delegation from New York in the democratic national conven- tion, with probably a majority for Hill. Mr, Clevaland did some service in the campaign and endeavored to placate the if sucy o denied. | S | THE OMAHA wiility of Tammany, His work was probably not without effect, but it is by no means certain that he gained any friends in the politi organization which has for yea=s been unfriendly to him. The sympathy of Tammany is undoubtedly with Hill, and there is no reason to suppose that it will not continue with him. But 1 York is absolut to the success of the democratic party in a national contest. It cannot win the presidency without that state. A factional fight would be sure 1o lose the state to the democrncy, and therefore an effort will undoubtedly be made to unite the Cleveland and Hill supporters upon some other man. This Lbe the opportunity of Mr as appears, he s to either faction. is solid with Tammany, and his “barrel” has not been exhavsted, He is not first ss presidentinl material, but the dem- ratic party has elected at 1 t two sidents whose qualifications were not y much superior to those of Mr. Flower. A combination of Flower and Boies would a ticket over which democrats might be able to work up considerable enthusiasm. In auny event itis plain that Towa's governor is pretty sure to be prominent in the atic national convention of 1502, and stranger things have hap pened in politics than his selection as leader of the national democracy. THE COUNTY CANVAS, he county canvass of returns for state and county officers should begin tomor- row even if some precinets have not re turned their ballot boxe It will take two duys at least to complete the can- vass of this county and it should by all means be finished by Suturday evening. Under the law the county clerk appoints two electors who with himself conduct the canvass of returns for state and coun- ty officers. When the county clerk is a candidate for re-elec- tion the law directs the county judge to appoint the canvassers, In view of the fact that both County Clerk O'Malley and Judge Shields were candidates at the recent election, it will make no material difference which of the two appoints the board. The duty of the canvassers is plainly defined by statute. They must canvi the returns as they find them in the ab- sence of any proof that they have bee mutilated or changed after being corti- fied by the election board. It is the duty of tho canvassers however to correct any error of the election bowd apparent on the face of the returns in adding up the votes cast for a candidate. In viewof the decisive majorities given to most of the candidates that ,were voted for in this county no serious di agreement need be apprehended. Tt is however only a matter of fairness that at least one of the board of canvassers shall be a republican, W far \r sive democt THE ADVERTISING TRAIN. The State Business Men’s Association of Nebraska is entitled to credit for the enterprise which conceived and carried out the scheme for a train of cars with which to bring directly to the attention of eastern people the resources and attractions of Nebraska. Owing to the partial failure of crops and the misre- presentations of calamity politicians Nebraska lost her place in the good will of eastern people and homeseekers as an agricultural state. The three calamity congressmen acting as a self appointed committenappenred in Wash- ington last winter to advertise the state as destitute and pauperized. The stump orators of a year ago devoted their speeches to the task of bringing dis- credit upon Ne ska. The reputation and credit of the state were seriously impaired by all these things. Our good crops in the present year and the har- vest excursions have helped a great deal to correct the erroneous impres- sions thus created. The State Business Men’s association was not satisfied, however, with these good results. It decided to car the proof of our prosperity to the very heart of the union and to the communities where the misrepresentations had been hitherto made by wversons claiming authority to represent our destitute people on the frontier, About fifty counties in the state were intevested in the undertaking and on the 15th of October the cavavan started, It made a great sensation at all stations and was an ocular demonstration of the fact that Nebraska is the finest agricultural com- monwealth in the union. The train returns tomorrow and the local business organizations ing to give the delegation in charge a hearty welcome. The rejoicing if none the less enthusiastic becaaso during the abscnce of the business men and their train the great state has rebuked the calamity orators and refused to sanc- tion their further efforts to injure the lit and reputation 8 Nebraska by defeating the chief representative of the combination against honest money and good credit in his ambition to occupy the supreme bench, The farmers’ who work and think have repudiated the farmers who talk and think the farmers who work do not think. ro arrang- er UNPARDONABLE EXTRAVAGANCE. The showing of salaries paid by the Board of Education for janitor service is a serious reflection upon the business qualifications of that body. It is out of all reason that Omaha should pay to forty-two janitors almost as much as Minneapolis pays for fifty-five. Besides, in Minneapolis the fires are started earlier in the fall and continue later in the spring than in Omaha. In Minneapolis the teach- ers’ payroll is $383,050.75 and in Omaha $215,191.08, In Minneapolis the jamtors are paid in wages $32,818.22; in Omaha, saying nothing of fuel, lights and house rent, $32,674.21, The daily attendance of school children in the former city is 1¢ and in Omaha about 10,000. In Minneapolis a janitor of & 20-room building is paid #50 per month. At the Omaha high school we pay $275 per month for the services of a janitor, engineer and superintendent of grounds.

An effort will be made to rush torough all manner of schemes botween this and Junuary 1, when the new council comes into powsr. The first deal which it is hoped to huve consummated is that with the Ketcham Furniture company of Toledo, O., whereby a home bidder is ‘en- tirely shut, out, although the home bid is 300 below that of the Toledo house. The honest members of the city council, both those who hold over and those who retire, should de- cline to be used in carrying out any of these jobs. No contracts should be en- tered into binding the new council, Tt will be remembered that the excuse of the council elected two yoars ago for voting in favor of the gas company’s claim was that it had been agreed to by the preceding coun The incoming body will scrutinize all acts of the one now in power which require its final ap- proval and will disappoint the friends of good government if they shall allow any questionable logislation to be consum- mated. peo- [T MUST not be assumed that the re- cent election has solved the problem of good municipal government.

If it had not boon for this fact Wheeler would have had 10,000 majority. ns will s and Mr. Lacey, the compiroller of the currency, left for Boston this afternoon to personally Look 1nto the selection of & recoiver for the Maverick Nationat bank which was_ closed the other day after a most shameful fail ure. A fine question of discrimnation in the matter of closing bauks is now before Secrotary Foster and Comptroller Lacy and itis one in which, not o bational banker in the country but every depositor and sharetiolder, is interested. It is stated that some months ago when the comptrolier called the attention of Secretary Fostar to the condition of the Maverick bank as ro- ported by the exam the secretary told nim he should close any and overy bank when ne fourd it was in such bad condition as to hazard the interests of depositors. The trouble at that time was recklessnoss on the part of the directors in borrowing monev from the bank and endorsing the notes of other borrowers. Thero is 1o law against en- dorsements by bank directors or anybody else and it is & question whether or not what good business judginent wouid consider excessive endorsements of bank directors would constitute an offense suflicient to war- rant the closing of a bank. Taken in connec- tion with oxcossive loans to tho directors or other persons upon the endorsements of the dircctors, itis, in the minds of Secretary toster and Attorney General Miller, sufti- cient to warrant the comptroller in closing the bank at wuy time. Almost uulimited discretion s given the comptrolier of the currency on the control of banks. From him there i3 no appeal and ho may regard_an offonse which might be con- sidered “bad bankig" or “unwise business stops” suflicient provocation for closing 4 bank. Thero is no law or precedent on ot but recent deplorable bank fail- are likely to result in some rules and precedonts which will make it very risky business in the future for dirgetors to lond their credit to borrowers in tho banks of which the former are_ofticers, and especially for banks to exceed the law in the matter of excessivo loaus, either directly or indirectly. Just now the people of Boston appear to bo venting _their spleen very freely upon tho comptroller of the currency for not constru- ing tho work of the Maverick directors to be suflicient cause for closing the banks eight or ten months ago.

Wismyaroy, D, C., Nov. 5.—Assistant Secretary Bussey of the Interior depart- ment, has filed with Secretary Noble his wunnual report for the last fiscal year. The assistant secretary has appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the pension laws, and his report is contined to a review of the work of the Board of Pension Appeals under his supervision. Tho report shows that on Janary 1, 1891, there were 5,028 appeals pending bofore the board as against 5,030 on July 1, 1501, In the interium, however, there were 1,500 new ap- peals filed and thereforo 1,804 wore disposed of. Of the cases disposed of tn only 210 w the decisions of the pension office rovers Mr. Bussey points out several defects, ns ho regards them, in peosion legislation, and makes a number of recommendations looking to thewr correction, Ho asks that congross be requested to enact a law that shall ex- pressly authorizo the department to treat all improper, illogal and excessive payments of vensions,’ whether caused by fraud or by mistako, as prepayments to be chargo against the current pension, with a view to readjust or equalize current reusion pay- ments within the discretion of the secretar Mr. Bussey calls attention to the first clanse of section 3 of the act of June 27, 15K, aud says that bis attention has been drawn toanumber of cases whercin, according to law, the claimant has been necessarily denied a pension because a so.dier in whose death the ciaim was based, although serving “ninety days in the army or navy,” s shown by tho evidence, had not been “honorably discharged” prior to death, but had died while, for jnstance, on individual furioughs and absent from the technical line of duty in the service. It sonms, hie says, that bothi the spirit and the object of that'nct of Juno 27, 1500, would bo empnasizod and subserved by un amondment of this section that would bo applicable to such cases of dependenco and distress. He also suggests that in cases of “iusanc, idiotic or otberwiso holpless children” of decoased pensioners. the pensionablo age limit be aboiished, 50 as to admit such chil- dren at any date on the pension roll, The assistant secretary also recommends that persons who served in the confederato army and afterwards enlisted in the navy of tho United States, bo given the samo pen- sionable rights as are orded those who served tho confederato cause and then en- list in the army of the United States, - MUST TAKE OUT A LICE Decision of & Conneet Liquor Case, Hawrrorn, Conn., Nov. 5, —Judee Taintor has decidod that wholesalo liquor dealers, located outside of the stato cannot sell liquor in this state without takini out a license i such county where the uor 1s to be sold, BEFORE THE St CJudge in FIRE, neroit'e Journal, 1o wintry air scoms full of snow, The leaden clouds are hinging low, Tho frozen groun| erborates beneath your tread The bare boughs creak above your heade A dismil sound, hoer now Is almost here— bor, ehill, sud dark. and droar— And soon the snow Will henp itsolf up drift on drife And into ey cranny sift, Whitle fierce winds blow. yove )v0 Waoll, novor mind; the glowlng cont Withiin the grate will cheer your soul, And Send w thrill Of joy all throuzh you til disuiny Eusues at thought of how you'll pay The coil man's bill — Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U.
