Speeches al Last Nights Banquet.
Two hundred and fifty happy faces framed
the tables that groaned with New England
delicacies in the parlors of the st. Mary's
avenue church last night. 1t was the eve of
Forefather's day, and the red-berried holly
scattered over the snowy table cloths, or
worn alike by the ladies and gentlemen
present, told that it was being celebrated.
Wax candles Illuminated the tables as in days
of yore, but their dim light was lost in the
brighter CLEAN Of the gas that is needed to
make a modern entertainment a success.
But last nights festival would have been n
success without the aid Of gas. 1t was under
the auspices of the Omaha Congregational
union, and knowing what best would please
their guests, the union left the preparation
OF the supper to the ladies of the church. 1t,
too, was OF the New England style, and
chicken pie, Boston beans, pump
kin PIE and all eatables necessary
to give it tone and character were there in
profusIon, serving 10 put the guests in the
proper frame of mind TO thoroughly enjoy

quoted there they seemed 10 be too iudicrots

as a rule they were not enforced, but were

Tradition pointed out that these laws and the

which, while good IN themselves, could

IN HIS recent discussion of the rail-
road problem, President Charles Francis
Adams, of the Union Pacific railroad,
has this to say of the western roads:
The railroad system of this country, es-
pecially of the region west of Chicago, is
to-day managed on principles which. unless
q change of heart occurs, and that soon, must
inevitably lead TO financial disaster of the
most serious kind. There is among the lines
composing that.system an utter disregard of
these Fundamental ideas of truth, fair play
and fair dealing which lie at the foundation
not only of the christian faith, but Of civlliza-
ton itself.
While Mr.. Adams applies these STRIFE
lures to the dealings of railroad
ayers in their relations with each other,
how much more iorcibly his words APP
ply to the policy of tho railroads in
their contact with the people.

THE idea of Building Inspector Whit
lock being consulted by anybody in re-
gard to charter amendments is prepos-
ferrous. In the first place the man is
utterly incompetent for the position he
holds, and in the next place he has
shown himself utterly untrustworthy.
Reform in building inspection and SUI
pervision is within reach of the mayor
and council under the present
charter. All they need to do is to
revise the building ordinance and put
at tho head of the board of inspectors,
which the charter creates, q competent
builder who a keep sober at least six
days out of seven each week, and will do
his duty impartially and conscien-
tiously.

CoiIGGEss has taken a recess to jan
uary S, which Is n shorter time than
usual, the credit for this being due to
the senate. The session thus far has been
quite q busy one, although beyond the
the progress made with the senate tariff
bill. little OF Importance has been &C.
complished. A vote or that bill will be
reached January 81, according to pres
ent arrangement, and meanwhile the
republicans will probably modify the
sugar schedule. There Is still talk OF
sufficient democratic support in the
house 20 pass the bill in that body, but
the general opinion Is that there will
be no tariff legislation by tbs present
congress. The republicans, however,

THE refusal OF the council committee
on charter revision to confer with the
committee appointed by the board Of
trade, goes to show how utterly demon
lied the present council has become
under the malign influence of the
coterie that makes it's headquarters in a
Farnam street saloon. These so-called
representatives of the people confer
with nobody unless he hangs around the
hummer resort night and day. The
action of these conncilmen can have no
other tendency than to revive in the
coming legislature the dlsgraceful
methods by which the charter was
mutilated in the last Legislature.

AMUSEMENTS.

The story of Daddy Nolann is simple, in.
teresting, and easily told. An lrishman, by
means of humble though honest effort, rises
to wealth and social position. HIS son is
charged with a crime and banished from the
fathers home. The father, mother and
daughter-ln-law return to their former simple
state, the first mentioned embracing his old av.
ocation of a carter. In this way he pays off the
Indebtedness which his sons alleged crime
has imposed upon him, Five years elapse,
the fathers obdurate heart softens toward
his absent boy, especially when he
observes that the latter gives evil
dence of penitence and reform,
A meeting takes place, an explanation ID
made, a reconciliation is effected and tho
family is reunited in a home which the sons
providence and filial gratitude have prompted
him to provide. 1t is a story which has been
told thousands of times in active life in every
part of the world. 1t readily ELECTS and re-
tains the sympathies of the average audience.
1t is rendered doubly affecting by the unfold
ing it receives through Daniel Sully's i'm
personation of tho father, Daddy Nolan.
The star does not appear to act. He seems
the character he enacts in method as well as
in appearance. He is an Irishman as
well in the drawing-room as IN the
kitchen of his homely cottage, and such
an irishman as may be seen in number
wherever lriShmen are found. He Is in
dustrious. affectionate, witty and honest, and
his voice, while easily conducting to laughter,
may almost as r oadily move to tears. He is
supported by a company of requisite strength,
the leading members of which are Max
Arnold, Con Malvey, Mrs. Kueass and Mile.
Arzula. Young Malvey's is an admirable inn
personation of the lnischievous, yet dutiful
lad, with whose FRANKS Il person may be dis
pleased for but IA moment only at a time.
The audience was highly entertained and
seemed disposed TO make allowance for some
improbable situations which, in their ex-
aggeration, however, conGuced to almost con-
tmued laughter and applause.

CITY TREASURER AXwORTHY, of
Cleveland, has made a restitution of
the funds belonging to that city, which
he carried away to Canada. This an
looked for precedent gives Kentucky
high hopes that her delinquent state
treasurer, "Honest Dick Tate" will
send a substantial Christmas present
all the way from Montreal.

THE democrats of Dakota appear to
be equally as anxious as the republicans
to divide the territory and to urge i'm
mediate statehood for the two sections.
But the democrats IN congress are turn

The Railroads in Wisconsin.
Ppen,1

That railroads are dangerous in more
senses than one Is evidenced in the way the
Badger state has s%harpened its claws to fight
them. The governor of Wisconsin is a
granger; the Wisconsin legislature is as full
of farmers as a pin cushion Of pins or a
strawstack of straw; and they propose to
bring the rascals of the rusty rails to terms.
