We see it stated that the Omaha Re-
publican has changed hands, Fred Nye
having purchased it at the consideration
of $4,000. The Republican was for
many years the leading paper of the
state and one of the foremost in the
west, but since the death of 5. P. Rounds
who purchased it and gave 1t his person
al attention after retiring from the posi-
ton of public printer at Washington
nearly four years ago, the paper has
seemed to deteriorate in force and in
huence until it had well nigh lost its
prestige. The field is a fine one for the
display of journalistic genius on the
part of the papers new proprietor. and
its old friends wish him success in his
new undertaking.

Robert Elsmere's Daughter" is the
latest publication that wants readers. If
the daughter is no better than Robert, she
will undou btedly want readers for long
Times.
We are not so sure of that. Whether
Robert has been universally read, the
work has certainly received more noto-
riety than any current publication of its
class. However, it is doubtful if the
later work shall be as successful even in
the last named respect.

Unquestionable Logic.

Kansas City Journal.
If the Kansas legislature should de-
eide 10 discriminate against the dressed
beef industry in favor OF local butchers
Its next step in the same direction should
be to exclude the products of shoe man
ufactories in favor of local cobblers. The
argument is as strong in one case as IN
the other All meat was once prepared
for consumption by large number of
local" butchers, and all shoes were once
made by local" shoemakers. But times
change and methods change also.

The Wichita EAGLE, defending the
dreSsed-beef con- bine, eXults in the fact
that the Dolds are selling dressed beef at
four cents a pound. This may not be an
exhorbitant price for beef that cost cent
and Il half gross, but won't the EAGLE de-
scend to this neither atmosphere and in
form the common people why this same
beef costs ten cents pound on the block
half mile away, or why the consumer
pays within Irihe of as much now for
his beef as he did when the farmer re-
ceived twice as much:-kingman Demo-
crat.
The esteemed X. D. seems to have
fallen into the common error of presunl-
ing that because a paper essays to de-
fend the common interests OF the people
it becomes the champion of an IN
dividual or combination. because, for
sooth, such interest happen las in this
instance) to be on the side OF the people
Because such critics are influenced in
their views and actions by such con-
tracted considerations they are not war
ranted in alleging ike promptings to
those whose convictions cause them 10
take q different view and stand. As 10
the pertinent question put to us by our
e. c., the fact IS as stated by the EAGLE.
and we anpreiaend that the answer is
too patent TO every person to need TO be
put in cold type. And that which is
true here is presumably true elsewhere

add that none are so blind as those who

The action of the Kansas legislature
with reference to martial law in the
south provokes sheer from Louisville
contemporary, viz: the Courier-Journal,
which thinks that nothing better could
be expected from a state which, wholly
an agricultural region, votes solidlv to
subsidize manufacturers and which is a
more bitter representative of sec
tional hatred than the phar-
isaical descendants Of the puri-
tans.' The observation qnoted SO tickIes
the Times, of the City of Kansas, that
with depressed risiblcs it remarks that
1T is the never failing display of sec
tional luminosity which always operates
against any political resolutions Kansas
may introduce. They have become sim
ply humorous. In reply to both of
which we would suggest that Kansas is
not just at this time calling upon either
of the parties mentioned for an endorse
ment of her views of justice or expedi-
ency, and moreover, if they are not
pleased with our way of doing things it
will take less to them. They don't have
TO take any of it if it don't suit. 1t may
be well to observe just here, however
that the aforementioned criticisms We're
a bit previous: the resolution of offense
has not passed the senate.

Drowning men clutch at straws, and
both NJ. F'loquet and his Heterogeneous
and discredited majority in the chamber
seem disposed to make the most of the
vote of confidence. They talk now of
holding on together until October, not
withstanding the notice to quit served on
them by Paris the other day. Longer
the deputies cannot hold on, since their
term runs out in that month. General
Boulanger's newspapers say the minis
ters cannot carry out any such program
of delay, and old Jules Ferry and his
next friends-pretty shrewd politicians,
as contemporary French politicians go
are Of the same opinion. 1t remains to
be seen what the doughty old ex-premier

While the EAGLE, as friend and ad-
mirer of Senator Plumb, fully appreci-
ates the compliment paid him by the
legislature in unanimously adopting a
resolution endorsing him and urging
him for appointment to cabinet posi-
ton in the incoming administration, it
seems to us that such action was I'M
timely. The senator had just received
the strongest possible endorsement at
the hands of the legislature in his unani-
nous reelection to the position he now
occupies, and it is but reasonable to sup
pose he would prefer to remain where
he is a recognized leader, in the highest
and most dignifed legislative body on
earth, where he can and will remain as
long as he wishes, to going into a no
more creditable position for a term not
to exceed four years. We have no doubt
the senator would appreciate the compli-
ment none the less if the matter is per-
mitted to remain where it is, and is not
pressed further upon the attention of the
president elect, who is not unacquainted
with Senator Plumb, as well as the esti-
mate in which he is held by this state,
or with the states relation to the con-
trolling party.

IF both General Harrison and Mr..
Morton should die before March 4
which God forbid-what then? Senator
Hoar writes to the Boston Advertiser:
The constitution, itself, if literally con-
strued, makes no provision for the case of
the death, resignation or disability of a
person chosen president by the electoral
college, before he is inaugurated. If the
vice president-elect succeeds in such "a
case tits only by strained construction
OF the law and of the constitution. So if
both president and vice president-elect
die, if you cOnstrue the constitution liter
ally, there is no authority given to con-
gress to provide what officer shall fill the
vacancy. If the constitution shall be con-
strued to include such case in its provis-
ion then our statute will have the same
construction and make provision against
anarchy. When the time seems oppor-
tune there should be an amendment to the
constitution putting that and some other
kindred matters beyond question.
