ONLY A QUESTION or TIME.

The vote on the Colorado case shows
that the parties will be pretty evenly
balanced In she House rs well as IN the
Senate. 1t ia only question OF time,
however, as to the Democrats getting
control of the Senate. BY March, 1879,
Democratic Senators will occupy the
. aces ot Dorsey OF Arkansas, Spencer OF
Alabama, Conover of Florid', Mathews
Of ONO, Patterson of New Jersey, Bruce
Of Mississippi and Sergeant of California,
with every prospect of gain in Indiana
and Pennsylvania. Democratic ascen-
dency IN the Senate is inevitable within
eighteen months. In fact al the Demo
cratic party has to do to get complete
control OF the government in 1880 is TO
SIT soil and do nothing. The 4 publ
can disahactions are making ID m'crstic
victories last enough.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.
The bill presented by Mr.. Hereford in
the Senate differs from that introduced
by Mr.. Beck in this, that Mr.. Beck'S bill
only provides tor the repeal of the third
section Of the resumption act. while Mr..
Hereford not only proposes To repeal that
clause but also provides against further
contraction of the currency. La this par
ticnlar Mr.. Hereford has the advantage
of Mr.. Beck, ard ii either bill is reported
by the committee it is probable that Mr..
aereford's will be. Ii is not sufficient
that resumption be pCstpored, but 1t is
necessary that contraction should stop.
1t the currency continues to be contract
ed the country will continue to suffer,
aud it ia difficult TO foretell what dis
trpsses will owe rtake us.

The document is eminently states
manlike in its every feature. 1t will
be seen that the new President proposes
to carry out the policies of Cancellation,
in accordance with justice, and of civil
service reform, to which he was pledg-
ed at the opening of the campaign.
Every good citizen must wish him sue
cess in completing the work of recon
struction and in effecting administra-
tive reform. The address is in full ac-
cord with his letter of acceptance. 1t
is about what the country expected-an
open, honest declaration of a man who
unquestionably intends to do his duty,
told in a plain, straightforward man.
ner. If he fully appreciates the task
before him he can succeed. Let him be
plain in his purpose, and he will WIN a
place among the honored names of
American history. He is emphatically
on trial, and we believe will not be
found wanting in the essential qualif-
cations of his position.

Municipal Reform.

The ordinance introduced by Alder
man Leighton, at the last meeting of
the City Council, besides providing that
female "beer jerkers" shall not be en-
ployed in saloons and variety thea
tres, contains a clause compelling sa-
looms and places of amusement to close
up at II O'Clock every night, and re-
main closed until 5 a. m. 1t also pre-
vides that saloons shall be closed from
10 a. m. to 2 p. m. on Sundays.
Citizens who feel any interest in mu-
nicipal reform should take early oppor-
tunity to interview the members of the
Council, and urge the passage of the
ordinance at the meeting On Monday
evening next. Our clergymen and Y.
M. G. A. should have a word to say on
the subject.

A Conductors chivaIrous Deed.

The conductor ON the express train
going west on Wednesday did a brave
and %chivalrous act in saving the life of
a child. 1t seems that a lady on the
train who had been travelling several
days with a sick child became tenn
porarily insane from the great mental
strain caused by constant watching and
anxiety, and attempted to throw her
child from the train rs it was passing
over the Elkhorn bridge. The conduc-
tor heard her scream and rushed out to
the platform just in time, for as she
threw the child he caught and saved it,
and brought them both back into the
car He telegraphed ahead and Sc
cured medical attendance. The woman
was put under the influence of sopori-
fics; the lady passengers took charge of
the babe, and it is hoped that they will
reach home in safety. So says the
Omaha Republican. =

Condition Of Stock in This County.

MI. H. G.. Hay, n Of the leading
stock owners of this county, recently
returned from an extended trip through
out the eastern and northern portions
of the county. He reports that he
saw the cattle in better condi-
ton than at present. Herode hundreds
of miles, constantly passing through
vast herds, and in all his travels did
not see a single carcass. The range is
in splendid condition, and cattle men
are not at all apprehensive of any
serious losses this spring unless the
April storm should prove u%npreceden-
teddy severe and lengthy.
Mr.. Hay visited the leading sheep
ranches, and found the woolly bleaters
in fine condition. The blooded and
graded flocks, particularly, are doing
well, being fat, frisky and heavily
coated. There have been no losses of
sheep of any account since the great
hail storm of last year.
But few horses were seen in the
country traversed by Mr.. Hay, as there
has recently been u general movement
of equines to the range south and
southwest of this city, owing to fear of
raids from the very friendly" un-
armed and dismounted red rovers at
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail. All the
horses seen! were in high spirits and
good flesh.
