Commissioner Paddock Inter-

LINCOLN. Neb.. Sept. 28.-Ex- Sem
ator Paddock, Of the Utah CoHamls-
sion, passed through this city to-day
en- route to Omaha. He was int-r,,
viewed by u correspondent in regard
to the Utah Cnmmi sion. In answer
tn q question he said:
"The law has been strictly en-
forced. Very few men have ever
read or understand the law, and
everybody has expected 1t to accom-
plish things which its trainers never
thought of accomplishing"
"What has been the effect OF the
enforcement of the law?"
"Such q movement cannot be as
certained in fifteen minutes. The
result was, of course, to elect to office
only those who practiced mon"ga'ny.
This is the complexion OF the Legis-
lature that will meet during the en-
suing winter"

and the result is satisfactory beyond

that to commence with tue law and

what we think will most tend to

Tho Explosion at Albany.

ALBANY, Sept. 2S.-Van Zandt's
son was killed. The total losses can
not yet be ascertained. The explo-
sion was probably caused by the neg
ligence OF the engineer in allowing
the water to get too low. The Off

thrown from their beds on the floor,
and the whole building shook vio-

a prize fight on the shore of st. Mary's
Lake for Monday. AS they were

ing arranged for the following even

WHERE Is HE ?

During the holding of the Rich
field convention the question was
asked in many ofour Repub lean ex-
changes: Where is MI. ConkIing?
The question has not been answered,
but he was probably earning a good
fat fee in making a great argument in
some contest between milllOnaires.
While it is of but little moment to the
general public to know wherehe was,
1t is, says Truth, asignifcant fact tn II
nearly all the Richdeld correspond
ents wrote to their newspapers of
nearly every shade of political aftiiis-
ton that t re delegates almost uuahi-
mously spoke Of Mr.. Conkling rs
their next senator. Doubtless such
remarks were inspired by the pres
ence for comparison Of the iatulent
Warren Miller, and the absurdly
pompous and mediocre Elbridge G..
Lapham-the only two pignies the
Empire State ever sent to the Senate
What Mr.. Conkliny thinks of his
political future, will best appear
from an interview with him in the
Washington Gazette:
"Salstor do you expect to 60 into
politics again soon::" I feel about
politics a good deal like the milk
mans horse. There a a poor but
honest and energetic man over in my
city VINO went lnto tue milk business.
He started by carrying his milk ves-
sells around in hand. In time his
business grew to such proportions
that he had to buy n horse. The
horse bad been in the service of q fire
One day the milkman
In front of a house to deliver
his milk. While in the house the
fire alarm struck and the horse
down the street as bard as he
,ould 60. Away went the milk cans,
wagon and all. So, you see the ap-
,lication. When the people call 1
will CO."
The whirligig of time brings po-
itical revenges very rapidly often.
Did not the State of New Hampshire
or a long time treat Franklin Pierce
And yet In a few years
was he not taken from his
'etirement and made President? Did
lot Illinois retire Mr.. Lincoln after
ne t,rm in Congress, and was he not
lso taken from his professional desk
nd placed in the White House:
When Hamilton Fish lost his re-
to the Senate did not they
,ho might be called Half-breeds ex-
1t eve his defeat and over the
hoice of Preston King in his place?
'et he too went into retirement only
fter q s~eclusiOn af ten years to be-
ONE Secretary of State through two
administrations. Was not William
I. Evarts, when he ceased to be
resident Johnson's Attorney Gen
raj, fairly howled at by the I'M
eachers and the Warner Millers of
nat day? And did he not eight
ears later become premier of a new
ADMINISTRATION.
These men were innate statesmen
ke Conkling-men to whom their
arty naturally turn in time of great
peril. Petty men and
,hemers like Laphan, Wood. Pulp
