The vacancy in the list of brigadier
generals by the retirement of General
Joseph H. Potter has been filled by the
president. General o. b. Wilcox, con
onel of the Twelfth Infantry, changes the
eagle on his shoulder strap for the star
of Il general officer and the infantry arm
of the service is congratulating itself
upon the promotion all along the
line which results from General WillcoX's
good fortune. 1t has been generally con-
ceded ever since General Potter's promo
ton last spring that either Colonel Will
cox or Colonel Merritt of the Fifth
Cavalry, would be selectd to fill the next
vacancy. Colonel Wilcox had the for
tune to lie personally known
to Mr.. Cleveland In fact when the
president was governor of New York he
signed an urgent application on behalf
of Colonel Wilcox for the brigadiership
awarded to General Stanley That Mr..
Cleveland has not changed his views of
the cOlonel's fitness for promotion is evil
dent by the commission he now offers
him. General Wilcox has brilliant
army record Born in Michigan in 1928
HS clteIcu tnc HllHtulS aCuuciny from
that state at the age of twenty and was
graduated in 1S47 with high honors. He
was assigned to the Fourth artillery with
which he served for three years, leaving
it as first lieutenant in 1850 to enter
mercantile life. At the earliest outbreak
of the war, General Wilcox raised the
First Michigan regiment of infantry and
became its first colonel serving
with 1t until july 1862, when he was pro
NOTED to a brigadiership of volunteers
for gallant services in action, In August,
1864, he was brevetted major general
for gallant and meritorious services in
the Wilderness campaign, and at the
close of the war came into the regular
establishment as colonel of the Twenty
ninth infantry, from which in 1869 he
was transferred to the Twelfth.
General Wilcox retircs from active
service in April of next year, when it is
understood Colonel Merritt, of the Fifth
cavalry will succeed him.
Colonel Duane, who succeeds General
Newton as chief of the engineers with
the rank of brigadier, is one of the oldest
officers in that branch of the army, having
served with 1t continuously since 1S4S

Jay Gould is already taking an active
interest in the congressional campaign
of this district Not only does the
Omaha Hcrah play fast and loose to
choke off its own party candidate and
bolster the Ncmaha fraud, but proofs of
Gould's interest in Church Howe are
cropping out in every direction. The
Lincoln Democrat, of Wednesday even
ing, has this to say concerning the can.
vass in those parts:
Frank =. Ireland is openly canyasslng
against John 4. McShanc. lie was in the
city yesterday, this paper is Informed on
good authorty,and was party to an attempt
10 bribe a democrat with cold cash to support
Howe. This means that Jay Gould's rail.
road is distributing its Doodle to secure the
election of Church Howe. Who viii pay
that money back to Gould? The dcfrauded
and swindled people of this district Gould
cXtorts money from the people by excessive
and outrageous freight rates. lie spends a
part of ii to elect one of his corrupt hirelings
to congress. With him elected he will get
his money back and may get more with it,
But it is the essence of gall for railroad mag
mates to compel the people to pay the ex-
pcnse attendant upon the robberies of which
they are the victims.
Frank ireland is an Otoe county dem
ocrat with railroad tag. AT every
session of the Legislature for years he has
been one of the active corruptors of dem.
ocratic members Of easy virtue. He IS
assistant attorney of Jay Gould's rail
road and has been cheek by jowl with
Church Howe IN all the crooked work
that has been done by the corporation
managers. A few months ago he was an
applicant for the position held by Mr.
James +. Boyd's son.in-law. His work
against McShane and for Howe may pos
sibly get him the position. Gould is re-
putcd to be very liberal in his political
contributions. He is SAID to have sub
scribed $50, 600 to the Blaine fund and an
equal sum to the Cleveland fund. That
ought to give him influence enough with
the attorney general to make Ireland
United States marshal Immediately after
Howe takes his seat in congress.

any other of his appointments. II he did
not know him personally, he was singu-
larly well adyiscd-from the party
stand point, also, for Mr.. Villas
has been dominated in the conduct
of his department by the single
idea that the postoilices must be made to
continue the democratic party in power.
But in his cagcrness to replace republt-
cans with democrats everywhere, he has
had little thought or care for maintaining
the efficiency of the mail service. He
did not consider that sweeping changes
of officials everywhere, and as nearly
simultaneous Us he could make them,
would throw the service into confusion,
disastrously affect the business affairs
and social concerns of the people of the
whole country. and set them TO thinking
if it would not be wise on this ace cunt
alone to return to republican rule with
its sensible and busincss-like methods.
There can be no question, party feeling
aside, that the postal service of to-day is
the worst we have had for twenty-five
years. We do not mean by this that
democrats cannot make as good post
masters or postmastcrs' clerks as re.
pubicans, but that in the rapid
and sweeping changes made poll
tics and not good business principles
ruled, and confusion was. bound to
result. Had these changes been made
more gradually, retaining always a suli-
ccnt number of old officials to instruct
the new in their complicated duties, the
service would have suffered no material
detriment, and more slowly but just rs
surely could the political end in view
have been attained.
Villas has shown himself to be simply
and purely partisan OF the most viru-
lent type, and IN no sense a man of broad
administrative views or common sense
business methods He has not in his APP
rointmcnts sought to get even the best
democrats attalna1lc, but has chosen the
most active politicians with little or no
regard to character or business qualilica.
tions He has chosen thieves and jail
birds because they were efficient politi
cal strikers, and especially in the railway
mail service in Indiana, has he demoral
lied the whole force by his bigoted parti-
san methods and his discharge of the best
material to give place to eX-convicts and
others incapable of doing anything ex-
cept running primaries ami stulling bal
fot boxes. TO this condition has our
mail service come, and such it must re-
main while Villas continues at
its head Meantime the public
suffers. Mails are delayed or missent;
the affairs of our merchants and business
men are confused, and complaints lead
to no improvement. Whtney's idea of
reform" and the encouragement of
American ship-building was to break
down the largest ship yard in the coun-
try. Villas idea of the same things is to
refuse to American ships money appro-
priated for carrying the mails, and to
substitute the worst elements of the dem
ocratic party for experienced and compe
tent men IN the land service, to the great
detrlment of all the business of the coun-

The position which the BEE takes on
the railroad project may be summed up
in few words We want railroad to
the northwest built and operated in the
interest of Omaha We do not care
where the capital comes from to build
such railroad so long as the interests
of Omaha are well guarded. If the plan
of having IL majority of the stock placed
in the hands of trustees under restricted
conditions can be put into effect we
should consider it as decidedly the safest
and best. If Omaha capitalists cannot
build the road on these conditions we
should not object to its construction by
outside capital. If Jay Gould
wants to build the railroad
under TIE trustee scheme we
are not opposed to his so doing.
What we object to in any project of
Which Jay Gould has supreme control is
that instead of giving us an Omaha road
he would give us an extension of the Mis-
souri, Pacific with Omaha as way sta
ton and Kansas City and st. Louis as
terminals. Such railroad instead of
benefiting Omaha would only make
things worse than they now are. AT
present the Chicago & Northwestern and
Burlington systems cut Omaha out of a
large share of the business in her own
territory by giving local points
Chicago through rates while they
exact local rates to and from
Omaha. The Union Pacific by
reason of existing pools and the private
interest which MIR. Adams has in Kansas
City is also operated against Omaha and
in the interest of more distant rivals A
Missouri Pacific extension to Yankton
might be of some advantage but would
hardly justify "a subsidy from Douglas
county. If Mr.. Gould wants to build
such road Omaha would be glad to see
him do it, even though it would carry to
st. Louis the bulk of the products OF
northern Nebraska which now go to
Chicago by way of Sioux City,
In nutshell, Missouri Pacific eX-
tension will not be of sufficient advan-
tage to Omaha to justify subsidy of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in county
bonds.

Giyu Seryice.

The Republican, in speaking of the
defeat of Congressman Willis for re-
nomination, attributes it to his success
in getting Mrs, Thompson re-appointed
to the postoliice at Louisville, and adds:
Civil service reform should never shine
anywhere except in platform. In oper-
alton it is deceptive and impractcable
fraud. A party in power which cannot
find sufficient number of good men in
its own ranks TO hold the offices, does
not deserve to rule"
1t should be well Known to the Repub-
licdn that civil service reform has moth
ing to do with appointments to post
offices, land offices, collectorships, ETC.,
but only with the clerical force in the de-
partments at Washington and the large
postoilices and revenue Offices In the coun-
try. As such, honestly administered, it
is no fraud, but great benefit TO the
public service. 1t is republican meas
ure and should receive republican sup
port. The manner in which Cleveland S
heads of departments have twisted it
from its intent shows that when republi-
cans are again in control of the govern
ment the law must he amended, but it
should not be confounded with public
positions beyond its scope and intent,
In reference to these latter no one ex-
.pected the democratic administration to

As TO MIR, Metz,

IT is reported in an evening paper that
Fred Metz will not accept the nomination for
senator in the float district if rendered to
him. This scarcely seems probable in view
of the fact that Mr.. Metz has so much at stake
in these days of threatened Prohibition
Herald.
The democratic convention had no
right to use the name of Fred Metz in
connection with the float senatorship.
He had emphatically declined to allow
his name to be used, and requested sew
eral delegates to announce that he would
not, under any circumstances, accept the
nomination. He has served notice on
the delegates to the float convention that
he will not run, and if elected will not
serve. This ought to be enough to
satisfy the Herald that Mr.. Metz
is not in the field. Mr.. Metz
knows his own interest better
than the parties who want to use him for
political ends. He knows and has so de-
clared publicly that brewer or liquor
dealer can be of little service IN the leg
islatiye battle against prohibition. He
knows that the members of the legis.a-
ture from this county, whether democrats
or republicans, will oppose any effort to
legislate prohibition into our statute books
in face of the overwhelming sentiment in
this community against such course.
Mr.. Metz has "a good deal at stake in
these days of threatened prohibition, I"
but he is wise enough to let parties who
have no personal interest in the liquor
traffic represent the interests of Omaha
and Douglas county.

Our Mail Service

1t is admitted by all parties that the
postoflice department is the most power.
full factor in our politics, because its
functions touch more closely the social
and business affairs of the whole people
than those of any other department of
government. Whatever else the people,
in mountains, plains and yalleys-in
great cities or little hamle:s-at country
cross roads, or on great thOroughfares,
have to do or not to do with the govern
ment, the mail service is an intimate part
of their daily lives, an essential element
in their business affairs. In the conduct
of this department vast army is en-
ployed-of postmasters alone over $4,000
and hence its control by party has
long been considered the most important
agency in perpetuating that party's
power. ,.
If Mr.. Cleveland personally knew Mr.,
Villas, in placing him at the head of the
postotiice department he chose more
wisely, in a party sense, than in almost

Mr.. Cox GALLAGHER feels very sore
over the BEES remarks about his back
handed stab at Mr.. McShane and he goes
out of his way into the Hcrald rs an
lrishman, to protest against the BEE S
'know.nothingism.' This is very absurd,
What did we say to justify such talk?
We merely stated that the county ticket
was overloaded with one nationality and
we compared 1T to an Irish stew" with q
few German and American crumbs
thrown in. If this convicts us. of insult
ing the Irish rs II people, we plead guilty.
THIS paper generally calls a spade a
spade, and that's why it is popular with
the Irish as it is with all other classes of
the community. The trouble with Mr..
Gallagher is not on account of our oppo-
stion to Irishmen. but because we have
disclosed his peculiar friendliness to the
leading Irish American candidate on the
democratic ticket.

able interest among the doctors there.
The physician, on seeing the patient,
predicted that she would die in ten min.

ammonia for immediate relief. Before
he could administer it, however, the
pulse had ceased to beat, the heart was

into the body over the heart until it
touched that organ, when he discharged

seconds the heart moved and the pulse
resumed its beating. The patient recov-

she dead? The doctor says she was. 1t
will never be known if she would have
revived without the injection, and in

proof is furnished that the patient was
not dead. But doctors ought to know

The friends of reform will no doubt
be pleased to learn that for some time n
number of clerks of the treasury depart.
ment at Washington have been engdged
in compiling n democratic campaign
pamphlet showing how much reform
this administration has given to the coun-
try. The president didn't choose to have
otliceholdGrs evince 'pernicious activity"
in running conventions, for the public
could take note of that, but the same
"pernicious activity of government
clerks in doing campaign work in the
public offices ut Washington it was
thought might escape notice, as great
pains have been taken to conceal the fact.
Some time ago it was stated, and not con
tradIcted, that clerks in another depart
ment were engaged in mailing campaign
material. 1t is understood, therefore,
that reform means that government
clerks are not to be asked to contribute
any part of their wages for campaign
purposes, but are to be required to en-
ploy the time which the government pays
them for in doing campaign work in
stead of attending to their legitimate du-
ties. Democratic reform is very pecu-
liar"

SOME time since tho labor organiza-
tions protested against contracts being
awarded on government buildings to en-
ployers of contract prison labor. The
reply of the treasury department YVES
that the law required that the bids of the
lowest responsible bidders must be ac-
eepted, and the depart ment has no right
TO Inquire what kind of labor was en-
ploJed. Bids have now been received
for the building at Baltimore, and the de-

found that political capital was being
