THE INCOMING CONGRESS-.

After the election OF a speaker of the
Fifty-second congress, which from indi-
cations will be accomplished without
much OF a struggle, the next most i'm
portant matter to receive the consider
alton of the house will be a revision of
the rules. After the persistent fight
made by the democrats in the last con-
gress against the rules adopted by the
republican majority a pretty gen
eral change is to be expected.
The majority in the present
house could not, without completely
s%tultifying itself, retain the rules which
the democratic party has so vigorously
denounced ever since they were put into
effect, and besides the majority is so
large that it will not need to make such
provision against the obstruction of the
minority as, for instance, allowing the
speaker to count a quorum. 1t is under
stood that there is unanimity among the
democrats that this rule shall be done
away with. This was the republican
practice in the last congress which
caused the minority the greatest irrita-
ton. but it was most effective in pre-
venting the obstruction of legislation.
Wore the democratic majority in the
present house as narrow as that of the
republicans in the last it is highly prob
able the rule would be retained, not
w~ithstanding the warfare that has been
made upon il and regardless of stultifi-
cation. Washington dispatches say that
the rules are likely to be product
i've of something approaching u strug-
gle. This is likely to result from an eff
fort to return to the old practice, aban-
doned in the Forty-ninth congress in
order TO weaken the influence of Samuel
j. Randall in the house, Of having the
committee on appropriations pass on all
appropriation bills. The theory is that
dividing up the appropriations among a
number of committees, as has been done
in the last three congresses, conduces to
extravaganza, and it is reasonable to
suppose that such is the case, but the
members OF the several committees who
have had the privilege of dispensing
the public funds are expected to regard
a return to the former practice with
disfavor, and il they should generally
do SO they could probably defeat the
proposition. 1t is unquestionably de-
siraole that there should be as little

How Ihcy Did liz,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. Ex-senator
Henderson is one of the late commissioners
who receives congratulations for the way his
election went in his state. Said the senator
this afternoon:
II think the worst stage of the alliance
fever is over with us in Nebraska. Thu farm
ers have found that when it comes to politics
there was the same old SGT of leaders who
nave been starting new parties for years. We
did not try to answer all their absurdities, but
left it to the common sense aud reflection of
our people, and we found that was all that
was necessary. The Australian ballot with us
was a grand success. On the question of free
coinage | believe there is a plain revulsion OF
feeling in the west. 1t is now possible TO get
the people who were widest for it to listen
to argument, and when they will do that you
can make them see that there arc two sides
to the question. l don't know what the house
will do about passing "A free coinage bill, but
think a number of democratic senators
won't be as anxious for it as they were last
session.
Senator Paddock is also here. He, too, is
gratified at the outcome in Nebraska, and
thinks the farmers may be trusted TO find out
that their interests do not lie with a third
party led by disappointed politicians. the
senator will renew his efforts for pure food
legislation and for encouraging beet sugar
cultivation,

THE library BUILDING.

The library board has requested the
city engineer to prepare a plat of the
Byron Reed and adjacent lot upon
which the proposed library building is
to be erected. The city engineer has
good naturally consented to fur
nish plats showing the contour
and surroundings of the tact.
He does this us a matter of courtesy, al
though the board has no right to com
mand his services. Whether he will
show the Tom Murray buildings, the
power house, the city Jail, the veterinary
stable and other attractive establish
ments of the neighborhood or not re-
mains to be seen. If he would properly
present the situation these cannot be
omitted.
Instead of preparing Il contour Of the
surface of the proposed site, the city
engineer should be directed to ascer-
tain how deep the foundation walls
must go to strike solid earth and
whether or not any foundation
is possible without piling. The very
first question to be settled is the prob
able expense of the foundation, for it
may be found that this will cost more
than the Byron Reed lot is worth, to say
nothing of the supe%rstructure. After
the engineer has investigated as to the
depth of excavations needed the council
can ascertain from competent builders
what the foundations will cost.
The library board has 10 authority to
arrange for construction of a building,
to pay for designs or to expend any
money whatever for plans of the build
ing. Its sole business is to man
the public library. No money
should be squandered on plans
for the present. 1t is true
that the people nave voted the library
| bonds but 1t is also true that most of
them voted for the proposition without
knowing anything about the lay OF the
land or its surroundings. The council!
should make haste slowly on this library
| project. There are "a good many things
to be considered in connection with it
and 40 money whatever should be ex-
| pended until we know where we stand
as to the character of the site and the
| terms to be fulfilled before the title to
the Reed lot is finally obtained.

CINCEL III COSTR let.

President Wiley of the electric light
works in a communication to the council
virtually admits that the twenty candle
power incandescent lights he contracted
to have in place by November | would
be unsatisfactory. He therefore pro-
poses 10 substitute 1900 candle power
arc lights in the proportion of n
arc light for every five and and one
half lamps provided for under the on
tract which his company has already
violated. These arc lights he proposes
to have in place by January |, 1892.
Meanwhile the little gasoline glimmers
would go on at the rate OF $40 each per
annum.
The proposition of Mr.. Wiley is
shrewd and plausible. The council has
50 far declined to give him a contract
for arc lights in the heart of the city for
five years, although the subject has fire.
q%uently been discussed. We are paying
him now on a contract which will expire
some time next year Sl75 for each arc
lamp of 1000 candle power in the central
part of the city, The new proposition
would bind the city for five years to pay
$40 per lamp of 1900 candle power,
which is at the rate of 1888. 80
for 1000 candle power lights, and Mr..
Wiley would accomplish by indirection
what he has failed to accomplish di-
rectly. He will tie up the city to, his
electric light plant for five years and
maintain his present monopoly. We
pay too much for electric street lamps
now. The rate in Lincoln is but $3.50
per lamp. In other western cities it is
as low as 300 and there is no reason
why we should pay more than our neigh
bors for Il service nc better, if as good.
The truth is that the city should W
its electric light plant and do its own
lighting. The council should refuse to
bind the city to any monopoly of
light. The electric lighting experience
of Omaha has not been wholly satisfac-
tory. We are pretty well convinced
that our 1000 candle power lights,
'Thomson- Houston standard" are con-
siderably below that strength, Mr.,
Wiley has forfeited his contract for in
candescent lamps by failing to comply
with its terms. He should bs notified
that the agreement is Cancelled. We
can better afford to continue as we are
until the city can contract for motor
power and manage its own lighting
plant.

supported by young Post, a tic was kept
up for several hundred ballots. On the
second day one OF the Merrick county
delegates gave out, lett his proxy
with the young man whose strong
penchant was Spoopju, aud went home. On
the third day another MeriIck county dele
gate threw up the sponge, drew out OF tue
excitement, and SpOopju remained solitary
and alone, casting his three ballots dead
against the Grand Island candidate. Tho
hoarse cry of the president of the convention,
mo election tellers will pass the hats"
became monotonous. Vigorous assaults were
made upon Spoopju by the Grand Islanders,
but ho remained inflexible.
"Gentlemen, - he said, "Ill stay right hero
till the bugs carry me out the Keyhole before
II go for Grand Island. Ed Rosewater OF
TnE OMAHA BEE advises me to stick, an |
propose to stick. BY the way, speaking Of
bugs, can't some of you tellers smuggld in a
little bug juicel I'm dry
The Grand Islanders readily agreed to
this, but the liquid concession to his little
foiole Jailed to molllfy him to the degree
necessary to secure his three votes for the
Grand Island lawyer. Spoopiu was elatcd;
Grand Island depressed. On the fourth day
all the delegates favorable to Columbus held
q caucus. Spoopju was with 'em.
"You'll stay with us II we spring a new
name, won't youP ~ inquired u Columbus man.
"Gentlemen, I'll stay with you I'LL the bugs
carry me out the key-hole,' responded
Spooplu. nd Rosewater advises me to
stick, and I'll stick"
On reassembling som one nominated Law
yer Post. Three Grand Islanders came over
to him, the log jam was broken, and he whom
the democrats called that tall, green Post
from York" was given a nomination for DIS
trlct judge, equivalent to an election. Pure
grit, Rosewater's advice and bug juice had
given Lawyer Post u big lift in this world,
and If he ever forgets the political services
of the faithful Spooplu he will prove that SUI
preme Judges, as well as republics. can DO
terribly ungrateful.
The political archives OF THE BEE contain
no reference to this historical event, but If
the story be true Mr.. Spoopju's other name
was Ed Parker, at ono time an anti-monop
county clerk of Merrick, and now living on a
Louisiana plantation.

to give their electoral votes to the
democracy In 1892, and among them are
Massachusetts, and Iowa. They have not
a valid reason for expecting to carry
either OF these states. In the first OF
them the success OF the democrats In
electing their governor does not war
rant them in regarding Massachusetts, as
n democratic or even n doubtful state,
for the republicans elected all other
state officers and made gains in
both branches OF the legislature.
The simple fact is that the repub-
lican candidate for governor was n weak
man who was unable to command the
strength of his party, and besides this
he and his friends had given oifense to
many republicans by the way in which
his nomination was brought about.
Moreover, the fight was made wholly
uuon state issues and the meritorious
administration of Governor Russell
was satisfactory to n majority OF
the people. In Iowa there was
really but one issue to which the people
gave any serious consideration, that
of prohibition. Governor Boies endeav-
ored in his after-election address to give
a part OF the credit for the democratic
success to the position of hat party on
the tariff, but the trifing gain in his
plurality shows that this question had
no influence. He got the full democratic
vote and that of thousands of apti-prohi-
bition republicans, and nobody will
be foolish enough to claim that
all of these republicans, or a major
ity of them, are opposed to the
policy of protection. The repub-
lican plurality in Iowa at the presi-
Dental election of 1884 was 20,773 and
in 1883 it was 81 ,631, u gain in tou years
of nearly 1000. The republican loss
with prohibition as the issue gives nc
indication OF the sentiment of tho state
on national questions.
Senator German is right. Democratic
calculation on the vote of Massachusetts
and Iowa for 1892 is both premature and
unwiSe.

division Of responsibility in this mat
ter Of appropriations as possible,
but while there are valid
reasons for d%evolving the whole
duty upon a single committee it is con-
ceivable that that plan might have
unsatisfactory results. Under the
former practice tremendous power was
lodged in the chairman of the appropri-
ations committee, and this was the
principal reason for the change to the
present practice made by the democrats
of the Fo~rty-ninth congress.
One thing the country would well
come as u valuable reform, and that
is the abandonment OF secret ses-
sions Of the senate, 50 far at least as the
confirmation Of public officials is con-
cerned. A change of rule in this par
ticular would go q great way in giving
the senate a stronger hold upon popular
confidence and relieving 1t of that char
acter of exclusiveness and affected SUI
periority which is exceedingly objection
able to a very large number of the
4 nerican people.

a tide of sufficient greatness is, in the minds
of nine-tenths of the Disguised republicans of

sweep them all out to sea, but nevertheless
