The Dark Horse Absurdity.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The notion that a deadlock will occur in
the republican national convention and that
dark horse will carry off the prize does not
rest on any basis of reason or logic. Such
state of things presupposes either that Blame
and Harrison will divide up the convention
between them to an approximately equal ex- Z
tent with two or three othor aspirants hold Z
ing the balance of power, or that Blaine maY
withdraw from the race early enough befor6
the convention meets to allow a su1icielH
number of delegates to gather around SOM
other aspirant to make him q formidaAe
rival to General Harrison. The first of thSN
contingencies seems scarcely probable, az
the second could hardly have this effSc
That is, Blaine may safely be rolled on TOT
out of the contest before the conventiout
sembles, but that his retirement will or
some other man to the front who will oe able
to offer any serious opposition to the presi-
dents ambition to be his own successor is G
the last degree improbable Blaine's with,
drawal from the race Is reasonably certain, Y
the only element of doubt in the matter be
ing as to the time when it will occur. More
over, it is altogether safe to assume that
there is an understanding Of some sort be-
tween tho president und tho secretary TO this
effect, and that each is entirely satisfied
with tho situation.
What republican, on Blaine's Withdrawal
from the race. could develop enough strength
to make him a serious obstruction in tho
pathway of the president in the conventOnt
Surely not Algor or Reed, or Gresham, or
Dopew Sherman is an mpossibiity at this
late day, and Edmunds, of course, is out Of
the reckoning and could not be brought into
it in any contingency. Nor is this good
year for Allison. The only man exclusive of
Blame and Harrison whose name has been
seriously coupled with the nomination at any
time in the past twelve months ls Mckinley,
and he has not been mentioned recently
Mckin ey's time may come, and probably
will come, but 1t will not come this year
This is the situation rs 1t Is viewed by nlno
out of every ten intelligent persons In tho
country. There will be no long and exciting
contest In 1892. No dark horse will secure
the prize this year US he did in tho demo-
cratic convention of 1852 and in the re-
publican convention of $780, Blaine will re
tire frou the race before tho convention as
sembes. His shattered health and tho
physical attacks to which he Is subject IN
moments OF great nervous strain VIII compel
him to Withdraw. When this takes place
Harrison will have as cloar field as Lincoln
had in 1854 or as Grant had in 1868 and lsI2

IN fixing the wages of city employees
the council should regulate its scale by
the standard now paid for similar work
by builders, manufacturers, merchants,
bankers and railway companies. The
Edwards ordinance fixes the wages of
plumbers to be employed as assistants to
the plumbing inspector at So a day. a
first class plumber commands 81 day,
and the city should employ only first

A Significant Victory.

The Gladstoniaris gained marvellous VIC
tory yesterday In the election of successor
to Lord Harrington IN the Rossendale con-
sutuency. The Gladstonian candidate was
elected by l,2OO majority. In 1886 Lord
Harrington was returned by l,4OO majority.
The unionist defeat In Rossendale is the
more significant I'm that Lord Harrington

supposed to be the most loyal to the noble

Doing Pretty Well, Thank You.

Evidently the Nebraska people are not In
as bad way as some OF them thought last
year, when they wanted congress TO appro'
pirate 81 900 900 for their relief During tho
months of October, November and December
tho net reduction in farm mortgages In Buf
falo county was S335,5i7. Last year Tia Ne
braska people lost heart too soon. 1t was an
excellent thing for Nebraska that congress
did not appropriate the money asked for.
Such an appropriation would have been
black eye to the state, and tho bad reputation
thus acquired would have clung TO II for
many years. Self reliance Is u gooi thing
for a state at all times.
