great deal OF fine work being done by
the politicians in them, from which
there may arise at any time dissatisfac-
tion and disaffection.
III there Is no way TO prevent objec-
tionable and troublesome personal zeal,
which takes no account OF any other
consideration than that OF advancing
the political fortunes OF the individual,
there is n way TO punish it. The men
who would subordinate everything to
their own ambition, regardless of pos
sible consequences, the people should
refuse TO honor with their support and
confidence. There is strong reason for
Keeping out OF public POSITIONS men
whose eagerness TO attain them carries
them to the extreme Of hazardiug the
harmony and security Of the party.
There is no discredit in desiring and
seeking Office, SO long as straightfor-
ward and honorable methods are en-
ployed, and other than mere personal
considerations are not disregarded, but
those who are disposed to make every
thing yield to their personal
ambition deserve to lose the stake they
play for. The supremely important
duty of framing for the new states con-
stitutions which are to provide perma-
nent governments for future millions
Of people ought not to be embarrassed
by partisan zeal or personal ambition.

THE MINISTERIAL INSTITUTE.
1t Is Opened with a Sermon by the
Rev. II. @. Barrow.

1t Is Opened with q Sermon by the
Rev. II. O. Barrow.
The ministerial institute at the Christian
church commenced last evening with a ser
mon by Rev. II. G. Barrow, state evangelist.
A large number OF ministers from the vari-
GUS Christian churches of the state were
present, besides a fair attendance of laymen.
The speaker took for his text, Romans 1 :I6,
81 am not ashamed of the gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christ 1t is the power Of God to save
men" The speaker said:
''At the time these words were written
there were probably no Christian churches
IN the world. But there were no hospitals
the church. The society of christians
were very feeble at this time. They had no
glittering. temples like the heather. They
had no philosophy, no institutions. But
Paul was not ashamed of that gospel. 1t is
not philosophy or metaphysics. but the
gospel of God alone that can save the sinner.
What is the gospela Gods power to save
men,"
Continuing, the speaker dwelt particularly
on the power of God, giving as an example
the power the Deity puts in a grain of corn.
at can not be equaled or simulated. The
most powerful Corliss engine in .your city
might be buried IN the earth, but it will
never grow into a corn stalk. 1t may
have power, but not that of a grain OF corn.
We must have faith in this gospel. If an
angel of heaven, with the light of paradise
upon his wings, would come to me and tell
me that the gospel preached by the apostles
was not true would not believe him. /
would spurn him and say, Heavens curse
rest upon you.' The gospel must be obeyed.
Anything you can't obey is not gospel. l
believe in education, but all the colleges in
the world never saved human soul. It is
the gospel of God alone that can save men.
1.-The wish is father to the thought. Bad
news we will not let ourselves believe, but
good news is always received without gues-
ton. / do not believe that there are many
christian women in Nebraska Today who
would go to pagan shrine and renounce the
religion of Christ, while believe that there
are many who would endure martyrdom II
necessary. / would insist on our implicitly
obeyng the gospel. When Christ comes in
his glory would be ono of those who had
obeyed."

AS no A DEADLOCK.

The Philadelphia Record, which has
a claim to speak for democratic senti-
ment, does not think there is any
reason for apprehending deadlock on
the organization of the next congress
by reason of the fillibustering OF the
democratic minority. That journal
says that the republicans, having an
absolute majority of the next house, are
entitled to control its organization. GAS
the republicans will be responsible to
the country" says the Record, 'for the
Legislation of congress, and for the en-
tire administration of government,
ize the house without let or hindrance,
so that they may get down to business
as speedily as possible. This is no doubt
the sentiment of the democrats elected
to the Fiftyfirst congress, as we'll as the
entire democratic party. There will
be no deadlock of the house unless the
republicans shall make it themselves"
The Records attitude is unquestiona
bly, correct, and the country will be
gratified to find that it accurately re-
fleets the view of democratic members
of congress and of the party generally,
but there is some reason to apprehend
that in the latter particular it is mis-
taken. A number OF democrats, sena-
tors and representatives have Ifrom
time to time been quoted as saying that
it was the settled policy and purpose of
the democratic minority in the house
to resist at every hazard. and to the last
extremity any attempt on the part of
the republicans to change the rules so
as to give the majority the right and
the opportunity to assume all the re-
sponsibility for legislation. Repre-
sentative Burrows and other republic
ans who have expressed the fear that
there would be deadlock, undoubtedly
had some more substantia basis for their
opinion than rumor or conjecture. 1t is
safe to presume that they had demo-
cratic authority for their apprehension.
Otherwise a candidate for the speaker
ship would hardly have given such
wide publicity to an opinion which con-
tanned no reservation or qualification.
At any rate, if the democrats in con-
gress have decided to pursue the course
the Record says they will, the fact has
not been announced on the authority
of any of them. 1t is to be hoped
our contemporary is not mistaken
as to democratic intention, but
republican members of congress
will be wise in taking the coun-
sci some time since rendered by
u democratic senator, to be on hand to
occupy their seats when the next con-
gress assemblies fully prepared to stay
there. Their wary opponents may mean
to be straightforward and fair, and al
low the responsibility to go where it be-
longs, but nothing can be lost by Keep
ing vigilant eye on them and being
prepared to defeat possible obnoxious
schemes.

THE U. p. TOLL-GATE.

The motor line carries passengers
from the Paxton house TO the Ogden
house, u distance OF FIVE miles, for ten
cents. The Union Pacific charges
twenty-five cents from the Omaha depot
to Dillonville, distance of over two
miles. This rank imposition on the
travelling public has to be submitted to
because the Union Pacific has monop-
oily Of the roadway between it's two
depots. Right here is the secret of the
policy which has placed an embargo on
Omaha's intercourse with eastern roads
and has been and will continue to be the
barrier to real union depot in this CITY,
So long as our citizens permit this high
waymans toll-gate to levy upon
every passenger and every pound of
merchandise going and coming into
Omaha over the Union Pacific we can
expect no relief. Even if q union depot,
it would be simply delusion and a
snare unless the bridge embargo was
raised and all trains are permitted to
come and go in and out of Omaha by
merely paying the actual wear and tear
OF the roadway.

AS PREDICTED early in the season, the
record OF railroad construction for the
first six months Of the present year has
been light. According to competent
authority some fifteen hundred miles
were built, less than half the mileage
track laid during the same period last
year. The construction for the six
months has been confined almost ex-
clusively to short lines and feeders.
Track mas been added to one hundred
and twenty-five lines. The average con-
struction on each would therefore ex.
ceed not more than twelve miles. This
is certainly q most conservative record,
and of whatever other sins the railroads
may be guilty, they certainly can not be
accused of reckless railroad building for
the first six months OF 1889. The char
acteristic feature OF this railroad extern
sion has been short lines for the devel-
opment of local traffic. There has been
absolutely no paralleling OF existing
roads for speculative purposes, and the
result of building for business only can
not fail to have beneficial results.

The District Court.

The adjourned May term of the district
court convened this morning, Judges Chap
man and Field both being present.
Mack Golson, the Fremont bigamist, en-
tered the plea of guilty on the charge against
HIM, and the court sentenced him to eighteen
months in the penitentiary. The plea OF
guilty secured for him the clemency of the
court, hence the light sentence.
A second application for an injunction IN
the Cass county county court house fight was
argued before Judge Field 1t will be re-
membered that an injunction was asked
few weeks ago to restrain the issuance Of
SsOO 900 court house bonds, recently voted, on
the ground that the law under which they
were voted is unconstitutional. This appli-
cation was argued and submitted, but de-
cision has not been reached, aud 1t will pro-
baby be taken under advisement. The ap.
plication to-day was argued upon the ground
that the issuing of the bonds will increase
the levy for taxes beyond the limit prescribed
by law-15 mills. 1t Is claimed that the
expense incurred by the bonds would run the
levy up to 17334 mills.
Mary A. Robson was divorced from her
husband, William r.; also Rebecca Ingram
from Willie Ingram. Desertiou was the

THERE seems to be disposition on
the part Of some of the members of the
board Of education to abolish the present
system of furnishing text books to the
pupils of the high school on the ground
that these books cost almost as much as
all the other books used in the public
schools. 1t is to be hoped that the new
board will look into the matter. If it
be found that extravaganza and waste
fulness has been INDUCED in, the abuse
should be corrected. But manifestly it
would be wrong to discriminate against
the pupils of the high school on false
grounds Of economy. 1t appears that
the original cost of books for the public
schools was something like five thousand
dollars and that the average life OF such
books is five years, costing the board
about thousand dollars year for re-
plenishing the supply. On the
face of this statement there is
nothing unreasonable in the cost of fur
nlshing the schools with text books.

THE heavy rain storms which have
swept over a large area of Nebraska
during the past few days are an unusual
meteorologicalphen for this time
of the years Were the present month
to follow the common rules of pre-
cedence, Jul would be hot and dry with
now and then a storm of but local inn
portance. But the violence of the pres
ent electrical disturbances, combined
with their frequency and extent, make
them proper subject for inquiry by
the signal service bureau. The COM
mon theory of the present weather man
Hesitation is, that as but little snow fell
last winter and spring, the average
amount of precipitation is now being
made up in order TO restore the equi-
librium. But this rule cannot be ac-
cepted without reservation, and the
weather prophets will now have a
chance to speculate upon the unusual
phenomenon.

ket will be eased of the present glut. A

into the hands of the mayor OF Phila-
delphia by the state relief commission.
1t would appear that the total expendi-

two million two hundred thou
sand dollars. The number Of
persons fed has varied from q
maximum of thirty-two thousand to a

claims to be passed upon involving the
interests OF families or dependent rela-
tives number nearly four thousand.
Four hundred portable houses and two
hundred to be built ON the spot are al
ready under way and the number will
be increased as fast as practicable.
There has also been alarge distribution
OF shoes and clothing and this form of

TIE POLITICIANS AT WORK.


Scheming by ambitious politicians in
the work preliminary to statehood Is in
progress, was to have been expected. 1t
is inevitable and unavoidable in our po-
litical system. The trained politician
who is seeking preferment understands
the necessity of laying his wires early
and attending closely to them when
they are laid. He is not greatly con-
cerned about considerations touching
the public interests. In the effort to
advance his personal ambition he
would as readily embarrass and
retard the business Of consti-
tutional convention as the pro-
ceedings Of ward caucus. Men OF this
kind are sufficiently numerous in the
territories preparing for statehood, and
they are not standing back until the
preparations are completed. They are
actively and persistently at work in
their personal interest.
There can be too much of this sort Of
thing. 1t is said already that the
scheming of the politicians has some-
what hampered the main work OF the
conventions, and there is danger that it
may do what would be far more serious,
lead to unsatisfactory results, In
Washington the work of the convention
is said to have been made
subordinate to the ambitions of
two individuals having senatorial aspi-
rations, with the effect OF creating a
good deal of friction and bitterness.
Nothing quite so unfortunate as this
has developed in the other new states,
