THE prince of Wales has had cabled
to this country denial of the free-and-
easy conversation alleged to have taken
place between His Highness and the
prince Of sluggers, John l.. Sullivan.
The prince of Wales authorized the
statement that the conversation was in
a dignitied strain; that he never asked
Sullivan to use Smith gently, and that
Sullivan did not reply that he would do
his level best to knock Smiths head off.
Thus it seems that the prince of Wales
makes out that the Boston professor is
quite gentleman after all. What the
prince of Wales really did say to Mr.
Sullivan is about as important as the
remark of the governor of North Caro-
lima to the governor of South Carolina.
In all probability Sullivan said to Wales,

TIE caucus of republicans of the New
York legislature having adopted resO-
lutions protesting against the contirma-
tion of Mr.. Lamar, it will be interesting
to learn what effect this action will have
upon the course of Senator Evarts. 1t
has been the understanding that the
senator was favorably disposed toward
Lamar, and when resolution against
confirmation was introduced in the con-
vention Of republican clubs Mr.. Evarts
was credited with having engineered it
out of the way. He has been reticent
on the subject in Washington, but the
belief is that he would like to vote
to put Mr.. Lamar on the
supreme bench. The expression OF the
republicans OF the New York legisla-
ture, made in the very strongest terms,
may be expected to convince Mr.. Ev-
arts that it will not be to his political
advantage to vote for Lamar.

THE gamblers Of Council Bluffs have been

Perhaps this Is clever. But our es-
teemed contemporary is informed that
last July there was an exodus of knights
of the green cloth from Omaha, some of
whom betook themselves to the town on
the east side of the Missouri, some to
the twin cities, and some to other points
where such persons are tolerated. The
excellent law responsible for this eXo-
dus is still in force and will continue to
be for at least two years to come, so that
during that period Omaha cannot ex-
pect any accession to its population from
the source indicated. There is some
comfort. however, in the thought that
our loss has in part gope to the gain of
Minneapolis, where the gambler, the
slugger, and everybody that counts in
the census is always welcome.

with educational or religious matters, oon-
spire to make him what his fellow citizens

IT might have been supposed that Mr.
Adams, the Chicago congressman who
wants all foreigners with Objectionable
political views driven out of the country,
would have suppressed his bill for this
purpose after finding that it was almost
universally ridiculed, but he didn't.
The precious measure was introduced
in the house on Wednesday, and it is to
be hoped that will be the last heard of
it. 1t is hardly conceivable that any
committee will give it more than the

Futher Ryan.
Out of the silence make me a song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low;
Let the lOveleSt music sound along
And wing each note with wall of woe
Dim and drear;
AS hopes last tear
Out of the silence make me hymn
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim.
Out Of the stiffness in your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child of art,
The song of hope in a last despair,
Dark and low,
A chant of woe;
Out of the stiffness. tone by tone,
Soft as a snowflake wild as a moan.
Out on the dark recesses flash me song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep as a love-star sweeps along
The mystical shadows Of the night,
Sing it sweet,
Where nothing is drear, or dark or dim
And earth-songs melt into heavens hymn

Omaha Jobbers and the Railroads.

Omaha jobbers and wholesale dealers
very justly complain of the discrimina-
tions against this city and in the inter-
est Of Chicago by all the Iowa railroads
ceutering at this point. These roads,
from "A selfish motive, have combined
upon rates to certain interior Nebraska
points which they call competitive, and
by their schedules practically compel
dealers in those towns to buy in Chicago,
when they really would save time and
money by buying in Omaha, all things
being equal in the matter of freight
rates, One of the drawbacks is found in
the excessive local tariff for heavy mer-
chaudise, like lumber, salt, coal, sugar,
etc. The local rates west of the Mis-
souri, are an embargo against Omaha
jobbers. Against these redress should
