The newspapers who are in favor of the spoils system in politics have not found any comfort in the published views of members of Parliament now in this country when asked as to the working of the English civil service laws. Without distinction of party, they indorse them. The young man who sent the box to Chief Justice Waite with the view of creating the impression that the Anarchists had sent him an infernal machine, and also of mak ing a nows item to sell to the newspapers, ought to be thrashed with a rawhide until his hide is raw. The Commercial-Gazette. the chief Re publican orgau in Ohio, prints thirteen edi torial articles on bloody shirt topics tn a single issue. This shows how exclusively Foraker depends for success on fanning into life the passions of the war. It is an ignoble business to be engaged in. Nashville will not have to undergo the ex citement and turmoil of another election on the question of subscribing to the Midland railroad, the County Court having refused to submit it again to a vote. Most outsiders will think this action wise, as an election cught to settle something. The Anarchists who are condemned to die in Chicago next Friday have all along professed ignorance of the conspiracy to murder policemen at the llaymarket. It is a little strange they have not thought it necessary to express the slightest disap proval of that cowardly butchery. Certain stock brokers of New York and Philadelphia have lately found by expe rience that ladies do not make very satis factory customers. They are satisfied so long as they win, but when the market goes against them they appeal to the courts to recover their losses from their brokers. Farmer Tillman’s tongue is likely to get him into trouble. In a recent speech he ac cused the South Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture, Col. A. P. Butler, of dis honertv. and the latter is said to have left Columbia presumably to meet his tradueer. A street fight is thought to be probable. Anew company is preparing to build a railroad from New York to Boston, having already spent larg i sums in surveys, etc. The field is already about the best covered in the United Spates. However, railroads do not seem to be built nowadays to meet a demand for transportation facilities, but to be sold to lines injured by them. According to the present programme all the condemned Anarchists will not be hanged at the same time; the scaffold is not big enough to hold them all. Four of them will be hanged in one batch, and three of them in another. The programme, however, may be changed several times before Nov. 11. the day fixed for the execution. Sir Charles Dilke, who is considered the best informed mail in English political life, seems to be coming to the front again, in spite of the dreadful domestic scandal which drove him into retirement a year ago. The Radicals seem to have been unable to find a successor for him in the leadership, and now that Chamberlain has joined the Tories, Dilke is much needed. He may regain all his former prestige. The Cincinnati Timm-Star is certain that Gov. Gordon’s “invasion” of Ohio will greatly help the Republicans, and promises him in their helirdf a tremendous ovation if he ml! remain till ,1 fter the election, w rec ognition ot his services. The Timm-Star doesn’t seem to know that m indulging in a little sarcasm at the Governor's expense it inadvertently admits its party’s weakness. If it depends for victory on Gov. Gordon’s aid, it is in a bad way. The great wealth and influence of .Tews in Hungary is shown by the fact that though they constitute only 4 per cent, of the population of the country, one-third of the students at the leading universities tu-o of that race. The professions are crowded with them, and they figure in politics. The oppression of centuries seems to have devel oped a strength of character in this people which, when the weight is removed, imme diately carries them to the front. Canadian papers continue to attack Mr. Chamberlain, who is on his way from Eng land to help negotiate a settlement of the long-pending fisheries dispute. They fear that his prejudices and arbitrary temper will prevent any agreement. The tone of t he Canadian press shows the anxiety which is felt in the Dominion lest its relations with the United States should become embittered. Canada’s prosperity would be seriously threatened if its trade with this country should be broken off. During the closing days of the canvass In New York Henry Ge&rge is making as many as six speeches a day, and says he is confi dent of carrying the city' Tuesday and the State next year. He perhaps expresses more confidence than he feels. There is no denying, however, that lie heads a very im portant movement, and if his party should gain confidence and cohesion from a partial victory if. would be hereafter a factor even in national polities. Mr. George is doomed to a great disappointment. The Sub-Tropieai Exposition. The managers of the Hub-Tropical Expo sition, at Jacksonville, are meeting with some financial difficulties. They expected that Duval county, in which the exposition is located, would contribute s.'>.ooo to assist in preparing the exhibit of that county and in advertising its resources. They had every reason to think their programme in this regard would lie complied with. It seems, however, that the County Commissioners are of the opinion that they have no authority to make such an appropriation. 1 If they really want to make the appropria - tion they ought to lie very sure that the law' is against them before they refuse it. If they .u-e hesitating because they are in doubt only on the point whether it would be wise to use the county funds for such a purpose, let them consult, public sentiment and be guided by it. What the public sentiment is they can soon find out by calling a mass meeting. It the expression is in favor of making the appropriation they will he relieved from all responsibility. If in the future their action should be questioned they could very readily say that they did only what the peo ple wished. There can be no doubt that if $5,000 is appropriate 1 and wisely spent the benefits which the county will receive will be worth far more than that sum. In fact, the margin ol profit on the money that will be left in Jacksonville by visitors to the fail will t>e ten or twenty times that sum. There is another tiling that must be taken into consideration. It is that if Duval con tributes nothing other counties will follow her example, and the exposition, instead of being the success which it ought to he, will be a comparative failure. In that case Jacksonville will loses great deal more than $5,000. Of course, if the County Commissioners refuse to make an appropriation the busi ness men of Jacksonville must put their hands down deep iuto their pockets. They are going to be benefited very greatly by the exposition if the promises with respect to it are kept. They must see to it that they are kept, and they can do that only by advancing the necessary' money. The expo sition has already been widely advertised, and thousands of people outside of Florida expect to visit it. Jacksonville, and, in fact, the whole State of Florida must see to it that they are not disappointed. The Garbage Question. The proposition of Alderman Thomns that the city shall undertake the work of removing its garbage is worthy of careful consideration. The work is now done by contract, and it costs the city a very con siderable amount. Alderman Thomas does not say that the city can do the work for less money than it is now being done, but he does say that the city, if it has the neces sary plant, can do a great many things that would add to its attractiveness and health fulness that are not now done, and that.too, without additional expense. Doubtless Alderman Thomas is prepared to show the Council that it is to the city’s interest to accept his proposition. What ever is best, for the city should, of course, he done. Mr. Thomas has always shown himself to be a clear-headed man of busi ness and, doubtless, lias studied the garbage question very thoroughly. Before the pub lic can have an opinion, however, as to the advisability of making the proposed change it will be necessary to have Mr Thomas’ proposition stated a little more fully. The city, of course, would have to expend quite a large sum at once for the plant, and it would be necessary perhaps to hire someone at a pretty good salary to di rect the work and look after the city’s prop erty. Unless the laborers were required to be a little more energetic than laborers usu ally are who are in the employment of mu nicipal corporations, it would take more men to remove the city’s garbage than are at present employed in that work. If the land in the immediate vicinity of the city were all under cultivation the gar bage question would be much simpler. The farmers and gardeners would be glad to have the refuse rnai ter of the city for com post, and perhaps would remove it for that purpose with very little cost to the city. It w ill be some years, however, before the city will have the chance to consider a proposi tion to remove its garbage for what it is worth. Mr. Thomas’ proposition should be given a very thorough consideration, and if it possesses the merit which, at first thought, it seems to have, it should he adopted. The Western Union's New RivaU It was stated in our dispatches yesterday that the Western Union Telegraph Com pany had issued $5,000,000 of new stock, and that the entire stock of the company was now about $80,000,000. The proceeds of the new’ stock will doubtless be used to pay for the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph line which the Western Union recently pur chased. The Western Union will have to send a great many messages to meet its expenses and pay a good dividend upon it* tinmen; amount of stock. It Ims now, however, almost a monopoly of the telegraph busi ness of the country’, and will la l able to ob tain better prices than when it had the competition of the Baltimore and Ohio. It is not certain, however, that it will continue to have the field almost wholly to itself. There is a report that a number of capitalists in Baltimore are organizing a telegraph company, and that it is their pur pose to make it a rival of the Western Union. It is said that the amount necessary to begin the building of lines Ims been sub scribed, and that there is every reason to be lieve that the necessary means to connect with their lines all the important places in the country will be easily obtained. There may tie some foundation for this report, but tbe Western Union has now be come so strong that it would require many millions of dollars to equip competing lines and conduct them until they were placed upon a profitable basis. One competitor after auother has disappeared, aud it would be more difficult now than ever before to successfully establish a rival line. It is probable, however, that the Baltimore capitalists have canvassed the situation thoroughly and feel certain of success, Herr Most is so disgusted at the Anarch ist decision that he wants to desert the haunts of men, who are so brutal and un feeling, and wander away in the woods, where he will hear nothing hut the songs of birds, the sighing of the w ind through the trees aud the gurgling brooks. This may mean that the hanging of these murderers will make the country too hot for the man who, in his newspaper, preaches every week the doctrines which Spies and his fellows attempted to put in execution. Nobody will weep if he thinks it safer to emigrate to other shores. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1887. The New York Election. Of all the elections which occur next Tuesday that in New York Htate has tin* greatest general interest. The local wrangle among the newspapers over the respective merits of Col. Fellows and Mr. Nicoll, the Democratic and Independent candidates, re spectively, for District Attorney is amusing to people of other States, but they are not devoting all their time to watching it. The New York city press seems to have forgot ten that there is a State election, and that it is a very important one. They are so en tirely taken up with their local fight that they are doing all they can to drag the President into it. One paper asserts that the President wants Mr. Nicoll elected and another that he favors Col. Fellows. The truth doubtless is that the President doesn’t care a snap of his finger for either of the candidates for District Attorney. He is only interested in the success of the Demo cratic party and the triumph of Democratic principles. The reports from reliable sources are favorable for the success of the Democratic party. Col. Fred Grant, who leads the Re publican State ticket, has not developed the strength that it was thought he would. In fact, from present indications, the people will not be more ready to cost their votes for him than they are to contribute their dollars to a monument for his father. He is a great failure as a stump speaker and is not personally popular. The Prohibitionists are certain to poll a large vote. Their strength is rapidly in creasing, and is largely drawn from the Re publicans They appear to be more hostile to the Republican than to the Democratic party. The Democrats are enthusiastic through out the entire State. Their ticket is a strong one and is gaining votes every day. In the beginning of the campaign there was a great deal of apprehension felt about the party’s success, because of the candidacy of Mr. George. The George voto is still an unknown quantity, but the estimates which are made of it now are much smaller than those made immediately after Mr. George’s nomination. It is not believed that he " ill do the Democratic party anywhere near as much damage as th Prohi itionists will do the Republicans. It is important that the Democratic party shall carry New York, and the indications now are that it will. A Bulldozing Scheme. There are indications at Washington that a determined effort is being made to defeat the re-election of Mr. Carlisle to the Speakership, and, strange as it may appear, the claim which Mr. Tlioehe makes to Un seat of Mr. Carlisle is the basis of this effort. Everyone who knows anything about the Thoebe-Carlisle contested election case knows that Mr. Thoebe was not elected. Indeed. so frivolous are the reasons upon which he bases his claim to Mr. Carlisle’s sent, and so unim portant is the evidence with which he sup ports them, that Mr. Carlisle has done nothing in defense of his right except to file an answer to Mr. Thoebe’s petiticr-. It is said that members of Congress are constantly receiving letters from labor or ganizations urging them to support Mr. Thoebe’s claim, and threatening them with the loss of the labor vote if they refuse to do Si l. It is not probable that Democrats will be influenced to do an injustice to Mr. Carlisle by these letters. They understand that if Mr. Thoebe had a good case there would he no occasion for th > emolovment of such means in his behalf. The fact of their employment is sufficient of itself to cast a doubt upon the validii y of liis claim. There ought, however, to be -onic way to punish l'nose who try to influence legislation by threats. The insinuation that Mr. Randall encour ages these covert attacks upon Mr. Carlisle wirh the l ope of prevent iu-g him from again becoming Speaker, is hnrdlv worth a mo mentis consideration. 11*- may not lie in harmony with the party to which he pro fesses allegiatve upon the important ques tion of the tariff, but he is not the sort of a man to do a political rival or opponent an injury in the dark. It may be safe to as sume, therefore, that he is rot behind the bulldozing tactics which are being employed to defeat Mr. Carlisle for the Speakership and deprive him of his seat. Asa matter of fact Mr. Carlisle is in no danger of being defeated for the Speaker ship. He will lie nominated by the Demo cratic caucus without serious opposition, and the claim which Me. Thoebe makes to his seat will neyer reach the dignity of a serious contest. Representative Herbert, of Alabama, is not in favor of establishing a government telegraph line, and a good many thinking people will agree that his head isquite level This is what ho says: “We had better put up awhile longer with the present evil and endeavor to find a remedv than to adopt a measure that may in the end prove* greater monopoly There would be no competition Jny Gk'Uld couldtwt eoni/We ith tht g>v vruuusui Hud lie wemiu tie forced to sell out at a reasonable price. If we established a postal telegraph it would create at least 75.000 more office holders, and in less than two years the number would be double. Just imagine what a force that would give the party in power. Then, again, sayiug that the government should take the tele graph, the next step would be to control the railroads It is this policy in France that prevents that republic from being a republic in the true meaning of the word. The policy of the government con trolling the telegraphs, railroads, subsi dizing the opera houses, preachers, art, etc., is the legacy left the French people by Ixiuis XIV. We must keep our individu ality, and to do that we must guard against every increase of power to the government." The Republicans are said to lie making effective use in Ohio of fac similes of medals struck off in Georgia in honor of President Cleveland and Mr. Davis. The thing about them which excites the loyal Republican mind is that the Davis medal is the larger. This is taken to be proof posi tive that Georgians are not loyal. Even if they were not, it is hard to say what they would have to do with the internal adminis tration of Ohio. It is not at all improbable, however, that the alleged fac similes are as false as other campaign lies in regard to the South with which the Republicans have been trying to arouse the hatred of the people of Ohio, that they might forget local issues. None of ihe medals sjioken of have been seen in this community. On account of the adverse decision of the Supreme Court in the Anarchist cases, George Francis Train will live hereafter in Canada. This is one of the unexpected happy results that frequently follow n good action. CURRENT COMMENT. Nat Really Angry. fVo-*1 Ifw St.J.UUI* f?#pnWi>oi (Dent.)

'4Lrs. Cleveland." AN ACTRESS' $2,C00 STREET SUIT. Snugrly Clothed from Head to Foot In Glossy Sealskin. Fro.u the Omaha Herald. It was a! the fall and winter opening of one of the moat fashionable firms in town. The im mense show* room was crowded with several score of the glide 1 and dimpled darlings of New York. Nearly all were leaders of fashion, and at least four could draw their checks for $1,000,- 000 each. Money was no object to them. They came to see what was new in furs. They stood in front of and around a beautifully formed young woman. She was a perfect peture. She was tall, straight as an arrow, and looked every inch a queen. She was clothed from head to fool in sealskin. The skirt or dress was entirely of sealskin. A half dozen buttons, covered with the same fur, were the only ornament in front The bottom was trimmed with a wide band of Russian sable. The back was ]**r feetly plain with th* exception of a little drapery* near the waist. The basque was tight fitting. and was fastened with small sedskiu buttons. It came up closely to the neck, where a magnificent l>ar pin. containing half a dozeu diamonds, held it together. A quaint little bonnet of sealskin completed the outfit. The hair was of pure gold, and was done up in a coil in front, in much the same style that Mrs. Cleveland affects. Handsome solitaires de pended from the ears. The woman's face was beautiful. She was, indeed, a pict ire, and l did not blame the ladies for gazing at her—some of them with envious even. “Turn this way, Mias Smith.'* said the gentle manly proprietor, and the lienutiful being in sealskin turned gracefully. A bright gleam of sunlight from an open window fell upon her. It lighted up her f *ee and hair, and made the dia monds sparkle like stars in a dark sky. “You will see. ladies." said the gentleman, in explanation, “that the garment is made tight and to tit the form closely. Feel OT it. It is not so heavy as some of you imagine. It‘s very warm. to be sure, and could not be worn except upon very cold days." “How lovely!” saul a chorus of voices “Yes, it is,*' continued the furrier. “A seal skin sacque and skirt is a novelty that we shall introduce to New* York this winter. They are only iutended for the very wealthy, and of course money is no object to women of the class who would like to have such a costume. This particular costume is for a celebrated actress. It was made to her order. It will cost $2,000, including hat and gloves, for the lady in sisted that the best fur should be used. Her name? Oh no, I can't tell it. I promised not to." Painstaking. From the Xeia Vork Graphic. “What is worth doing at all is w orth doing well," is an excellent motto for every young jieison to follow. Not only does practicing this adage establish habits of carefulness, speed and accuracy, but it hr. * a good foundation for suc cess in life. A pr •minent judge, living near Cincinnati, wiahe<ll .hav© a rough fence built and sent for a ca-penter. "1 want this f nee mended," said he. “to keep out the cattle. There are some upland boards —use them. It is out of sight from the house, so you n -ed not take time to make it a neat job. I v ill only pay you $1.50." However, afterward, the Judge coming to look at the work, found the boards were planed and finished with exceeding neatness. Suppos ing the young man had done if in order to make a costly job of it, he said angrily: “I told you this fence was to he covered w*ith vin-s. Ido not care how it looks." “J do," said the carpenter. “How much do you charge?" asked the Judge. “A dollar and a half," sai l the man, shoulder ing his tools. “Why did you sjvmd all that labor on the job, if not tor the monev?" “For the job. sir.'' “Nobody w ould have seen the poor w*ork on it." “But I should have known it was there. No; I'll take only the dollar and a half." And he took it and went awa> . Ten years afterwards the Judge had a contract to give for the building of certain magnificent public buildings. There were many applicants among master builders, but one face attracted his attention. It w*as that of the man who hud built the fence. “I knew.” said the Judge afterwards, telling his story, “we should have only good, genuine work from him. I gave him the contract, and it made a rich man of him." To Siphon Lake Tahoe. Prom the Virginia City En ter prise. S. R.

The Reno Gazette reports him as saying that he believes there is enough water in laike Tahoe to irrigate 1,000,0 JO acres, or all the available land in Western Nevada. But he doesn't believe in running a tunnel four or five miles to tap the lake. He lielieves that the water can be taken out of the lake with an iron siphon, and at one twentieth of the expense. The siphon need not he more tnan a mile and a half long. The difference n the elevation of take Tahoe and Cni-sou valley l>eing some what, more than 4'*o feet, the power generated would be equal to not less that 30,000 horse power. This same principle could l>e applied not only to Carson valley, but t<* Truckee Meadows, Mason valley, and all other valleys in the vicinity. By a series of check valve motions the water could be taken out of the siphon any where between the highest point on the lake and the lowest in the valley. By the use of this, enormous water pressure all kinds of manu factaring establishments could Ik* started, and the land of sand and sagebrush might not only be made to bloom ami blossom, but be covered with manufacturing villages as in New England. Mr. Mathewson says it is only n Question or time when something of this kind will be done to re claim all of our Nevada lands A Girl Easy to Suit. From the Xem York' Evening World.

He is commonly called an idiot, because le is always mumbling something only intelli gih’e to himself. He slee: s in nothing but. a mat both winter and summer. One day the priests said in jest to him that a certain farmer had lost two oxen, which, while grazing on the mountain, were aten up bv u large tiger.

If as many cigarettes are made by smokers themselves as by manufacturers—as is proba bly the case—some 2,100,000,000 of these “wicked little articles” are now consumed yearly in America.
