Keeping Tally of the Killed.
lincoln Journal.

The cock and bull stories circulated at the
polls in this city from m orning until night Of
the election about horrible murders of promi-
neht clergyIneu in Omaha by the bloody anti
prohibiionists did not seem to enthuse any
body much. The appearance of the Call with
a tremendous double-leaded account Of out
RACES by Mr.. Cox, who was keeping tally OF
the killed at the risk of his life at the Omaha
polls, was like Raphael's angels, all head and
no body. Sin m red down it appeared that
a prohibitionist had his hat knocked off by q
bloodthirsty saloon man. These lodges were
unworthy of great moral party, but any
thing to WIN vote appeared to be the motto.

LABOR'S INFLUENCE ON CRIME.
Bre ead.Xyinncrs' Organizations Said to
Have Minmizcd Lnwlessncss,


Have Minimizcd Lawlessncss.
Prof w. T. Harris, United States
commissioner of education, recently
point out that in the state of Massa
chusetts during the last twenty-five
years the proportion OF crimes against
persons OF property to the population
of the state has decreased "A per cent.
This the Boston Advertiser construes as
an argument in favor of the reforms
the labor organizations are working
to effect. 1--WE KNOW" it says, that
the number and cost of the publicschools
and the extent of the education fur
nished by them have been increasing
during this period more rapidly than
the number OF the inhabitants. The
compulsory education law, the law
forbidding the employment of il
literate youth in the mills and
mercantile houses, and every en-
actment to decrease illiteracy have come
into existence within this time. 1t is,
therefore, perfectly logical to conclude
that there is u relation of cause and Of
feet between the diminution Of heinous
crime and the advancement OF public ed
ucation. But we have no right to
indulge in any complaceucy, So long
as an overwhelming ma aiority OF crimi-
nails, including all kinds, can read and
write, and still more over
whelming majority of the worst kinds of
criminals can do so, it is utter folly for
any one to sBy that education and good
citizenship are synonymous terms.
There is still great field Tor improve
ment in public education itself, and there
are other great fields for the moral re-
former he industrial reformcr, the social
reformer and the religious reformer to
cultivate. If any OF these fields are left
untitled the state will suffer from the
presence of poisonous weeds"

THE extinguished firm Of Cox g.
Bushnell show the deplorable effects of
demoralizing company. Their output of
cock-and-bull stories Of riots and ruin in
Omaha keeps pace with the anti-prohibi
-tion majority and threatens to, become a
chronic malady. The collapse OF what
promised to be two useful careers is to be
regretted, especially SO because few
hundred dollars properly invested would
have saved them at the outset.

DICTATOR BURROWS pompously de-
clares that Governor Thayer will remain
In the executive chair indefinitely until
Powers is seated. This will suit THE
BEE and the republican party generally.
But how is Dictator Burrows ever going

ascertaining who is elected governor on
the face of the returns and then proceed

TWO INSTRUCTIVE LESSONS.

The defeat OF the republicans in Penn
sylvania and Michigan, where the can
didates of that party for governor were
both men having unclean records, is a
lesson that the party cannot afford to let
pass unheeded, and it is gratifying to OBJ
serve that republican newspapers are
impressing it upon the attention OF the
party. Referring to the result in Penn
sylvania, the Boston Advertiser remarks
that it was not unexpected by the coun-
try and is anything but discredtable to
the state. There has rarely been
bolder instance of politicians defantly
Drawing public opinion than was the
nomination of Delamater. The party
was notified before he was nominated
that charges OF the most damaging
character would be made against hia,
but so completely were its representa-
tives under the domination of Mr.. Quay
that the warning was unheeded. Not
only was it clearly established that the
republican candidate for governor had
been guilty of corrupt practices in order
to obtain a seat in the state senate, but
what was equally to his disadvantage he
was known to be the mere creature Of
the machine which is in the control of
one man, himself with record to de-
fend. The result was that republican
plurality of nearly eighty thousand two
years ago was changed to a democratic
plurality. There were fifty thousand re-
pubicans in Pennsylvania who thought
it their duty, as honest men, to rebuke
the nomination OF a corrupt politician
with the yoke of boss around his neck.
The situation in Michigan was some-
what similar. The republican candidate
for governor was charged with breeches
of trust while holding public Office, and
he not only did not disprove the charges,
but admitted some of the most serious oi
them, and undertook to justify his con.
duct by saying that he had restored the
| money again and the state had lost
nothing. But there were q large mum.
ber of honest men among the republicans
of Michigan who declined to accept this
defense, and consequently republican
| plurality of over seventeen thousand two
years ago was reverted and the demo
cratic candidate for governor elected by
ten thousand plurality. The republican:
responsible for this did their duty as
honest men and good citizens.
Everybody can understand the nature
of these lessons. Both Pennsylvania
and Michigan are unquestionably repub
lican states, but the majority of theil
people demand that public officials shall
be men of upright character and known
integrity Their regard for honesty ii
stronger than their party sentiment
And what is true of those states is true
of all. The people may sometimes b'
misled into supporting corrupt and dis
honest men, but when they know a maj
is wanting in integrity they can be de
pended upon to reject them, whatever
his claims as q partisan. The repub
lican party can nowhere afford to pu
forward for pubic Office men who's
records are not clean and irreproachable

Washington is an object of paren-

Americans take pride in its beautiful
avenues, majestic architecture, state

and museums as things of grandeur
and beauty in themselves, apart from
the historic interest with which they
are invested.

To clrcumyent Mr. Mocomas.


The Democrats of the Ohio Legis-
lature seem to be quite as fertile in
resources as Congressman McComas,
of Maryland. The bill which chat
gentleman introduced in the House
of Representatives, intended to pre-
vent an election of Congressman un-
der the redistricting bill passed by
the Democrats of the Ohio Legisla-
ture, provided that the certificates of
election should be issued by re-
turning board composed of State Of
ficers, all of whom, except Gov.
Campbell, are Republicans. OF
course such board would not rec
ognize Congressman elected under
the new redistricting bill, but would
perhaps issue certificates to those
candidates receiving the largest vote
in the districts as at present consti-
tuted. In order to render Mr.. Nc
Comas's bill of no avail, the Demo
Gratis of the Ohio Legislature, in eau
Gus, have agreed on a bill, which it
is claimed is constitutional and will
become q law, which will make the
Governor alone the returning board
of the State. Governor Campbell is
quoted as saying: ''In case the bill
becomes law and 1 am on the re-
turning board, 1 shall insist on max
ing out certificates to the Congress
men elected under the redistricting
bill which was recently past by the
Ohio Legislature. The redistricting
was designed as far as possible to
correct the evils of an outrageous re-
publican gerrymander, and 1 shall
adhere to the expression of the Leg
islature on that matter. The bill of
McComas is intended to overcome
and defeat the objects sought to be
attained in reasonably fair redis-
tricting of the State, which was ac-
complished few days since. -
There is also another bill before the
Ohio Senate, provided for the selec-
ton of presidential electors in the
congressional districts. Eminent
lawyers pronounce the bill constitu-
tional, and its passage by the Legis-
lature is regarded as certain. With
Governor Campbell as the returning
board and the districts as newly ar
ranged, Ohio would probably elect
at least fifteen Democratic electors.
The Ohio Democrats evidently have
on the war-paint, and refuse to scare
even a little bit at Mr.. McComas 8

The present flood in the MissfsA
stppi Valley promises to rank with
the worst on record in extent and de-
structiveness. The waters of the
Ohio river and its tributaries have
been high for two weeks past, sub
merging hundreds of farms in Ken
lucky, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
Now that the flood pouring to the
sea from the Ohio Valley is being re-
inforced by the swollen streams OF
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
and continued rains, lasting for days
together, have prevailed throughout
the Mississippi basin, phenomenal
rise of the Father of Waters is re.
ported from Cairo to the gulf. Parts
of the city of Cairo are flooded, and
business to a large extent is para.
lyzed. At Memphis the water is but
one-tenth of an inch below the height
attained in 1887-the highest on rec
ord. At many points south of Mem
phis the highest level ever recorded
has been reached. In the region OF
country opposite Memphis dep1ora.
BILE state of affairs is said to exist
The Sappington crevasse has flooded
Arkansas City and destroyed much
of the stock of the farmers in the adj
jacent country. At New Orleans the
water is pouring over the levees at
various places and serious breaks are
apprehended. A large part of the
city below Canal street is submerged.
The immediate cause of the present
phenomenal flow is to be sought, OF
course, in the recent heavy rains in
the vast region between the Allegha-
ny and Rocky mountains. In the
eastern portion of this region the
precipitation has been exceptionally
heavy. The Big Sandy, Kama
wha, Scioto, Hooking, Muskingum
and Miami rivers were filed to their
brims with wonderful rapidity, and
such was their effect upon the Ohio
that it rose by leaps and bounds at
Cincinnati on February &c to height
of 80 feet above low-water mark
In the high country west of the Mis-
sissippi, where the chief affiuents OF
the Father of Waters take their rise,
the melting of heavy SHOWS, due to
the mild Weather and heavy rains,
has added materially to the volume
of the great flood. The total precfp-
itaton now seeking the gulf is there
fore exceptionally large.
