would cost the city per month as much

The mists are clearing away in the seusa-
tional arrest OF Washington Scramliu, Mt
Nebraska City, few days ago, on the in
formation that he, and no other, was Bennett
Hayden the heartlcss murderer Of j. Il.
Branhall, at Rcd Oak, To-, IN 1889, seven
years ago. Sheriff John Willham Of No
braska City, passed through Lincoln, to-day,
en- route home, accompanied by David
Scramlin, of Hartwoll, Buffalo county, q
brother OF the unfortunate Washington,
whom so many insist is somebody else.
David, in conversation with THE BEE repre-
sentative, said that there is no doubt but
what the man in custody at Nebraska City is
his brother, and held without warrant OF
law.
"Why," said he, tiny brother was serving
two years sentence in the Nebraska peni-
tentiary when that murder in Iowa was COM
mitted."
"What for1r quoried THE BEE man.
"Well, / don't hardly know, but guess he
insisted, once upon time, that no had
right to husbands privileges with another
mans wife, Any way, he was tried, con-
victed and sentenced for rape. But Wash
ington wouldn't kill any one. guess he
didn't want to confess that he had been in
the pen, and for this reason he has had
good deal of unnecessary trouble. j am go-
ing to Nebraska City, and will soon clear

ground and act more like a human being"

The School Census.

The school census for the past five years
has arranged an annual increase of 10000
school children. The number of school chill
dren multiplied by 32 gives the popula-
tion of the state. This was verified by tho
federal census in 1880, and also by tho state
census in 1885 The school census of 1889
gives school population of $4,000. Now,
using the multiple 3.2, il will be seen that the
population of this state Is approximately
l,074, 900. Adding the average annual IN
crease for just five years, the population OF
the state in 1890 will reach l,O15OO, and
State Superintendent Lane says IL will not
vary 10 900 from the figures given.

sumptuary laws, effected through the agency of the republican party, would be more in line with reason and more effective to the promotion of temperance than the impractical ideas of the prohi- bitionists themselves. All this was so much bait thrown out to catch republi- can votes, just as salt is thrown on a birds tail to snare him. There is little sympathy for compulsory temperance in the republican party, and the prohibi- tionists have never had such abundant proof of it as has been furnished them year. In all the states where prohibit tion has been an issue the numerically superior political party is the republican, |, making it clear that, if the members or leaders of the party were as friendly to prohibition as they profess to be when prohibition votes are needed, the result would have been very different from what it actually proved to be.
 One thing the present year has clearly revealed to the prohibitionists is that they must rely on tneIlSeiVeS neTeaIteF if they hope to make any headway to the success of their political principles. The republican party is no more friendly to prohibition than the democracy, and there is no reason to believe it ever will be while majority of its members, as now. love their toddy and are bound to have it. The kind of cold water politics which are popular with the republican party is that where the leaders hold the necks of those who would foist prohibi- tion on the state.

IIiI. 3.-k RTI II k STILL LEFT

TIT. EARTH k STILL LEFT.
 From the wild whoopings of our local repuDuvan contemporary we infer that the republican party is to have all the glory and all tue praise for the secret ballot legislation that was rushed through the assembly during the closing hours of a session that will be notorious in the history of the state. This is the same sheet that only a few days since was trying to hold the democracy re- sp0nsihlr for the defeat of the Henney- iiotchbiss bill which was vetoed by Governor Hulkelcy and defeated by the republican senate.
 Ne presume our contemporary has learned, by it's experience in following 2 the advice of Blaine in 1881, to claim everything. We would remind it,there- fore, that the earth is still left. It might claim that.

 Tho Wagner pieces, three of them, wore approved with especial enthusiasm, and after the "Tannhauser" overture the acclaim was so vociferous that MT. Seidl restored quiet only by returning Acknowledgements. A few faces are missing from his band, notably that of Kappelmeister Hasselbrink. who has gone to live in Paris, but most of the orchestra Is personally familiar to concert habitues, and as to numbers and formation is about as it was last year, the composition of it including ten first and ten second violins, six violas, five cellos. five double basses, one harp, three flutes, three oboas, three clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, one tuba and the usual percussive instruments.
 This orchestra has had but little in- terruption in its practice since the be- ginning of the winter season, and 1t ls hence ill admirable form, while It's con- ductor shows his usual intelligence and impresses on the band his fire and vtgor. Taking his published programs for the week it is to be seen that he means to have not only music but good music at Brighton this summer, anI he supports this prospect with the following state- ment.

EGID WATER pDJI,TJCS


 The overwhelming defeats that have been dtS4f out this week in Pennsylvania and athode Island may we'll serve to weaken the confidence of the cold water laen in the sincerity and good faith of tue republican party. In the former state. which is hopelessly and tremen- dously republican in any election when any sort of political lines are observed, Matt Quay declared himself for pro- hibition, while another shining light of the party, the S400, ,000 cabinet beauty, declared that God would count the pro- hibition ballots. The ease of the job thus parceled out to the divine counter was only equailed by the gudgeon thrown out as bait to the third party enthusiasts.
 It is quite probable that the prohibi- tionists of the keystone state, who have hadNarious and alum dant opportunities for studying the versatile character of Matt Quay, took little real stock in his promises of sympathy and support, and that the fact of his alleged desire for cold water was advertised more for the influence it might have in winning over some republicans than for any hope that it would lead the re- publican leader to activity in the cleo tion And it is still more probable that the Sunday school guardian of our mails was not looked to by any of those who are honestly committed to prohibition as an active or energetic worker for the ad- option of the amendment. It is likely enough that when he said God would count the prohibition ballots he was speaking in that Mephistophelian vein he used when he said he knew nothing and cared nothing what was done with the corruption fund he turned over to the republican national committee last fall. With a majority vastly greater than anything dreamed of even by the most ardent enemies of prohibition on the side whose ballots God was not ex- pectetl,to count it is not to be supposed that the prohibitionists will continue to look for sympathy or support hereafter to the party that buried their pet scheme so deep. It has been favorite argu- inent with republican organs to claim that the republican party is the proper abiding place for those who are opposed to the liquor traf- fic; that high license, discrimination in the selection of saloon keepers, imposi- tions, class legislation and extreme
