THE question Of the selection of a
speaker is evidently now occupying a
large share Of the attention Of the men,
bers-elect to the legislature. There are
"A half-dozen or more candidates in the
field, each with his particular claims
md promises. The appearance OF the
railroad ~igureheads on the ground is
10 be expected. They are usually the
first TO begin operations and the last to
give up the struggle. For some time
past, the railroad candidates and their
lieutenants have been push
ing out their feelers to try
the pulse Of this and that
legislator. They are out with fair
promises and tempting bargains to
catch him in their drag net, The man,
however, who Is truo to his constituents
will not be caught in their meshes. He
will not allow himself TO be tied hand
and foot to the support Of a railroad
candidate Of doubtful integrity. There
are good men whose faithfuluess 10 the
people is unqusstionsd. Tho peoples
interest, party loyalty aud political
prefernent should outweigh all other
consideration in determining the sup
port OF the members-elect to such can

Omaha daily bee., 1888-12-15

the past ten days has boon simply awful, and
portends the coming catastrophe which all
Americans have foreseen. Tho shares,
which were issued at a par value of 500,
have fallen to $50, snd the credit of the con-
pany is so shattered that IL will be impossible
TO obtain funds for the January dividend.
What effect the crash will have upon the
French government, 1t is impossible TO say,
but 1T is not to be denied that for some time
past the administration has refused TO lend
its influence to the scheme of De Lesseps,
and he, In his rage, has threatened all sorts
Of damaging revelations. The men of Bou-
LANCER see in the coming storm an oppor-
tunity for their hero, whom they persist in
regarding as another Bonaparte, but others
look upon him as more resembling Lafay-
held the reins of power in the first throes of
the French revolution and so long as Mira.
beau was behind him did well enough. But
when the latter died, Lafayette, from sheer
weakness and inCapacity allowed the power
of administration to fall into the hands of the
Jacobin clubs, and ran away frightened at
the devils whom he himself had c%onjurcd up.
Engineers in this country have aiwaSS
doubted the De Lasseps scheme; they
doubted still more the workings Of the Con
struction company, because the latter
would not tackle the central crest Of the
canal line called La Culeba, which was evi-

could not be handled, then the canal could
not be built. If that could be removed, and
the canal blasted to a proper depth in the
solid rock, then the rest of the work was
easy.
There is something absolutely iendish in
the avidIty with which the English press,
particularly of London, seize upon all tho
gossip with relation to the recent lndisposi-
ton of the youthful emperor of Germany.
They have not the manlincSs to avow their
real sentiments of dislike, but professedly
quote reports in French papers. Every month
or so there is a fresh batch of
about the cmperor's malady, with hints that
he is at deaths door, and suggestions as to
who would be regent in case of his regretta-
BILE demise. The inventors of these fables
are never weary of invcnting them. Ii
the emperor goes travelling, the physicians
have ordered it, fearing melancholia in their
lllustrious patient. If he stops at home, it
is a sign that he is prematurely worn out. III
he shows himself to the people it IS to
dissipate reports of his quecrneSs, not to say
insanity. If he visits, every one remarks
something odd about his ears, which are
always stuffed with cotton to absorb puru-
lent discharges from the inner part OF the
ear; If he receives visitors 1t is rumorcd
that they go away because one of his fits
seized him. Such constant gratuitous male
Violence only bctrays the morbid fear that
the English entertain for the possible victor
of the battle of Dorking.

Both parties furnish proof, sat-
isfactory TO the chief, of their abil-
ity to make good their contract and
of their intention Of doing so.
But while their responsibility is
established, the chief insists that
the only tangible security to the
nation is cash or its equivalent
deposited.
The, urgency Of arriving at a
definite understanding az to the
manner Of disposing Of H. lease
is brought about by reason Of the
fact that the present session must
necessarily soon come to a close,
and that the present lease expires
before the next constitutional ses-
sion.

recommendation that council pro-
ceed at once to offer 10 the highest

lege, allowing all fair opportuni-
