However, if the people could be as sured that the legal test is applied in this state they might not have reason to complain, The investigations of THE Beg lead to the impression that the politicians who are drawing salaries for inspection ave either negligent or cor- rupt and innsmuch as the law has prac- tically driven all competition with the great Standavd oil monopoly out of the state, there is abundant r pecting that this corporation controls the inspection as well as the sale of the oil. Since the law was enacted three chief inspectors and a large number of deputies have been appointed to enforco it. In no case havo these positions been given to experienced men. They have invariably been regarded as spoils of of- fice and have been dealt out to political vustlers as payment for political services, In short the law has been used to provide a living for men whose business is polities, and not for the pro- tection of the people or the regulation of a business in which large profits may bo made by selling inforior oils at stand- ard prices. Tre Bep believes reform is necessary in the oil insp: ice of this state, and will endeavor to quicken the counsciences of tho political wire- pullers who are now living at ease at pubiic expense und negiecting the en- forcement of the law. on for sus- etion se THE GOLD HILL DISTRICT, The letter of THE BER'S correspond- ent in the Wyoming Gold Hill dist. s which appeared in Sunday’s issue, gave assurance that that region is soon to be- come the centor of widespread interest, attracting both capital and population. The indications are that the district is enormously rich in gold devosits, and muny companies are now organizing to develop the region, while there is promise that alargo number of stamp mills will be in operation before next spring. Our correspondent states that the time for purely speculative invest- ment has passed. The owners of claims no longer find it necessary to beg capi- tal to assist in their development, and consequently men eannot now go into the district and for a small sum of money get control of promising proper ties. One of the most intevesting facts re- ported by our correspondent relutes to arrangements for utilizine electricity in running mining machinery and stamp mills, Tt is intended to make at Gold Hill the first experiments with Edison’s eloctrical mining discoveries, and if they prove succossful thero will follow a revo- lution in mining operations. Omaha is greatly interosted in the development of this gold-producing dis- trict, and THE BeEr will give full and trustworthy information regarding the progress being made theve., If the in- dicatious are not misleading, this Wyo- ming region will contribute a celebrated chapter to the history of gold mining in the United States STILL Prohibition continues to be the all- absorbing question in Towa, and a gront deal of interest and solicitudo is being manifested as to the possible treatment of the question by the next | Neithor party controls that body, the senute belng demoeratic by a small majority and the house vepublican by about an equal mujor As the demo- wore successful in electing their ticket _on the piohibition issue, i seems reasonable to expect that they will endeavor to respond to tho popular demand by proposing some rad- ical change of logislation regarding the liquor traflic. But the fact that thoy had a nearly similar oppor- tunity us the result of the election two years ago and did not improve it doos not warrant a very strong feeling of con- fidence that they will attempt to do anything in the next slature, Had the democrats made an earnest and sincere effort in the last legislature tosccure a liconse law itis rather more than probublo thoy would have succeeded, and at any rato they would have sh that their fight against prohibition is not solely liti advantage.

Their contention is that the party is pledged to do this and cannot afford to faithless to its pledge, disregurd- ing entirely the consideration that the first duty of a party is to conform its conduct to popular will. Meanwhilo not the least interesting potiticul news from Iown is the statement that o movement has been started for veorganizing the republican party in that state. It is said to be the opinion of many members of the part that the time hus come for a changi of e hip. With a view to ef- fecting such reorganization clubs are ng formed to promote the principles of the nationul republican purty, excluding probibition con- sideration as u party or political tion.

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPIL It is by no means improbable that the incoming congress will regard favorably the proposal to establish alimited postal telegraph system. It will be remem- bered that in the senate of the last congress a unanimous report was made in favor of the tem, which was not acted on by senate, however, owing to the sure of other business. In tho house the subject was smothered in committee, under circumstances which véry strongly sug gested that the influence of the tele graph monopoly had boen effectually used. At one time, at least, a majority of the house committee having charge of the matter was ready to make a favor- able report, but the chairman was sue- cessful in holding it back and in finall smothering it. Thero are some veason: why it may be expected that tho Fifty- second congress will treat the matter in a more friendly way. Atany rate the postmaster general will renew his recommendation, sus- tained by additional arguments and facts derived from the successful opora- tion of the postal telegraph systems abroad. There is really very slight ground for objection to the postal tele- graph plan proposed by Mr. Wanama- ker. It isnot intended to involve the government in any fi al outlay or to increase the number of employes. The proposition simply is to contract with any company which will do the business at tho lowest rates, the government to segulate the charges to the people. The contracting telegraph company would furnish all the faciiities and sup- ply the operating force, transmitting messages at rates fixed by the govern- ment. The company would turn over to the Postoflice depart- ment two cents for eunch message to cover the cost of col- lecting and distributing. Opposition to this project comes almost wholly from those who desire thav the telegraph servico shall continue a monopoly, though there are some who are hostile to it on the ground thav it is not the function of the government to engage in enterprise of this nature. This sort of reasoning. however, has lost much of its force, for it is obvious that if the people are ever to have cheaper and better telegraph service it must come through such a system as the postmastor neral proposes. The postal telegraph is entirely suc- cessful in Kurope, where it has proved to of immensurable benefit to the people. There is not the slightest reason for n doubt that it would be successfnl in the United States, for it is as greatly needed here as in England or France. But it is not proposed to at once introduce it generally, but merely to ex- periment with it on alimited scale, with- out any charge upon tho government and without any increase of the force of oftice holders. This ought to be done, and the incoming congress will have fow matters presented to its attention that will afford it a better opportunity to do something in the general public interest. the pr be OUNCIL BLUFFS will shortly vote on a proposition for bonds to ercet a city hall.

At the same timo it is based upon a free market for non-competing products, and pro- motes the removal of restrictions upon inter- national trade.

Should Crisp of Georgia securo a part of the New York sup. port in the speakership c freo colnago will prove as annoying to the demoeratic tional convention as it w in the Oblio con vention that nominated Campbell for gov- ernor, Although Mr, Mills has assured his friends that he will not appoint a committee on coin age, weights an d measures which will refuse to set favorably upon a free comage bill, ho has himself strongly anuounved ugainst freo coinage, and it 1s expected that ho will take tho samo course that Mr. Hoed took. When the lattor was campaigning for tho speaker ship two years ago he was frequently asked by free coinage republicans what he would do with a freo silver bill. Without excep- tion ho replied, as does Mr. Mills now, that ho wpuld give silver a fair snow and would not select & committee agmnst it Although the mujority of the committeo in the last houso were not alt opeuly opposed to freo colnage, at no time was it possible to get favorable action upon such i measure. It therefore becomes moro and more plain as tho present speakersnip contest progresses that tho selection of Mills means the relegation of free coinage; and it means beyond question that the election of Mills will silenco freo coinage agitation, es- pecially 1f Mr. Cloveland is nominated for the presidency, At this writing tho chances are threo out of five that Mills will be select- ed speaker. Contesting Sherman's Seat. It is improbable that a senatorial contest over attracted so much attention us tho one now opening in Ohio and involving the senu- torial carcer of John Sherman. Senator Sherman bas stood for something mora than party represcntation during the past twenty five years, and it 1s no disparagement to ogher able ropublicans in the upper branch of con gress to say that he wields more influence thun any other man in the senate, Sherman took 8 most prominent part in_ the aobates of congress during the entive year. It was in those days when the stability of the government shook like an aspon leaf. that Sherman established himself.before the country and lost sight of state issues, and becamo anational charac ter. Sherman was in favor of pushing the war as it was energized, and ho was for tho financial issues as they were carried out. In short, he formed the legislative and financial courses of the war, The strongest argument that is being waged here as well as in Ohio against Sena- tor Sherman’s rotention in the upper oranch of congress is that ho has so earnestly and 50 lonk dovoted himself to national issues that ho has coased to be a stato representa- tive, and since Obio has lost her wreatost men in ihe houso and has but one representa- tive in the souate, an essentialy state ehar. acter should be in tho latter body. Novody has questioned John Sherman’s fidelity and ability —not oven ths strongest frienas of ox-Governor Foraker. It is plain_ to aay ono who has watched the course of affuirs from this point during the past quarter of a ceutury, how Senator Sherman graduully drifted from Olio into national affairs, Had it nov been for such work as ke performod this country would now be in tho hands of the cacmy, the confoderacy of the south. Iy’ a man in cougrss, or in fact, isitor at the national capital can bo found who does not pray for the election of Shor- man and contend” that it would be a shamo which should put to blush so great a state as Ohio to drop 4 man from practical recognition aftor having used him and his noble purposos for so long a tume. Had Senator Sherman devoted bimself to domagogy and ward poli- tics and left the country to drift as it might have drifted thers would have been no ques. tion about his re-clection. He couid have attended the ward meetings, county gather ings, district and state conventions and fully taken care of his personal interests. Instend of this he drifted toward, or rathor devoted himself to, s country, londing to it more assistance than any otlier man in logislative halls, and it remains to_bo soen whether tho republicans of Onio will take caro of bum and remember his services. Cleveland Pain Ex-Presidont Cleveland is squirming pain- fully under toe lashings he 15 getting trom tho friends of the various speakersiip candi- dates ftor interfering in the organization of the house. Although he bas forwaily denied pation in the ntest the friends p, McMillan and Springer say they know positively that Mr. Cleveland induccd Mr. Mills to adopt the ex-President’s views against silver and enter the Ohio and New York campaigns aftgr a tacit agreement that, in consideration of this sacrifice of tho free coinage supoort, ne should have the New York delegation solid aca as much othior sup- port as Mr. Cloveland himself could deliver, The latter now discovers his mistake The New York delogation threatens to divide, and the friends of all the candiaates rox Bureiv or Tie Bee, } ast, na- ally S quirming. tor spaaker exzopt Mills aro whotting their knives for tho political throat of Cleveland The retaliation and knifing will be hvely ton days Lence.

It is notorious that n large majority of th democratic party favor free colange. Should the democratic vico presidency bo a single standard advocate, the as Mr. Cleveland, there would avonce bo ous split in the' democratic campuign next year, It is beideved by long-headea politicians i the democratic party that tho best policy will bo to straddle the siiver question, giving Mr. Cleveland s running mate who is for free coinage. Certainly everybody knows that a vice president has little infuence upon legislation, for altnoush he 1s the presiding officer of the senate, the committees of that body are invariably do- termined in caucus und not by the prediding ofticer, us in the house. 1t will bo a preuty wauzy turn for the democrats to tako if thoy attempt to straddle the silver question, and after naming a old man for Hrst pluce to nominute a free coinage advocate for the vico presidency, when that officer could have no possible influence upon legisiation, except the senate be a tie or he should succeed to the presidency, and neither opening would be offered to him in nnety-nin chances out of & hundred, Tt is pretty well Mr, Cleveland has &, ccept ex-Governor ( for the vice presidentiul Gray copld have been nominated in 1558 had not Tammany at the dictation of Mr. Cleve- land forced Mr. ‘Thyirmun on tho couvention It v wis objectionable to M+ Cleveland on account of his knownothing record, his hay- ing for many years been i violent republican, and lacking the mental breadth to play an fwportaut part in the campiign or satisfac. torily perform his dutios should ho be elected, It is stated by those who nawve come direct from Mr. Cleveland that ho bns uot altered his opiinion of Gray.

Mills {s opnosed to free coiungo id is the sandidate of Mr. Clevelund for tho speakership, So the situation from a freo colnage standpoint is critically interesting I'he wildeat theory of tho party will ltkely fail in the outset and froo coinage will be throttled by oven the democrats, especially if Mr, Clevelana can wield sufiicient infiucnce, Where Will Jerry Sit?
