Mr.. Holman of Indiana, says the peo-
pie of these United States have cause to
be really and truly mournful when
congressman dies. The tax payer has
reason to resort to the crocodile variety
of tears. Real. sure enough tears should
flow when the committee hands in its
little bill.
Representative Kendall, of Liberty,
Kentucky, was recently planted in bang
up style by act of Congress, and when
the bill for funeral expenses was handed
in Mr. Holman, of Indiana, threatened
to resign.
Here is an item of S719.65 for railroad
transportation and over 5000 for commits
sary supplies. Carriages, 5000. Casket,
$3.50. Copper lining for same, 500, ETC.,
etc.
4 little thing like this should not dis
tur6 Mr.. Holman. The Indiana con-
gresham, being use to plain Aurora
whiskey, finds it hard, no doubt, to I'M
derstand how the committee could drink
over 5000 worth Of the 'old Stuff" but
he should consider that the casl1et was
copper lined, not the congressman.
The idea would naturally suggest it
self to one 50 lamentably parsimonious
as Mr.. Holman that 81 ,310.65 is little
steep for transportation and hack hire,
but he is short-sighted again. 1t should
be rem embered that, having consumed
over 5000 worth of commissary supplies,
and being plunged into a gulf of grief to
boot, the congressman would each re-
quire a carriage, with attendants thor
oughly acquainted with irrigating sta
tons.
Again, they charge two bits a glass fol
Kentucky Bourbon of the congressional
quality, and the measley sum of 81, 316 IS
for transportation and hack hire don't
go very far at blue grass funeral under
such circumstances.
All things considered, we think it is a
very moderate charge for burying a
Kentucky congressman. Mr.. Holman
nay resign if he wishes. Nobody
holdin' him.

HOW STANDS IT?

Some good Democrats, while express
ing the greatest admiration for Mr..
Cleveland as a statesman and acknowl-
edging his purity and honesty as Dem
ocrat, do not take kindly to his probable
nomination for the Presidency by the
Chicago Convention.
Their opposition is based mainly on
the ground that he allowed too many
Republicans to retain their positions in
importanC public offices instead of filing
the offices with men of his own party
who would have strengthened his admin
istration.
Major Wallace w. Screws, editor of
the Montgomery Advertiser, who has
been IN New York the past week or so,
and who has been mingling with promi-
nent men of both parties, in a letter to his
paper refers to this matter, and states
fac S which viii doubtless be entirely

C )mpalisons between Mr.. Cleveland and

show:
The opponents Of Mr. Cleveland gener-
ally to seek to disparage his record as a
Democrat on the ground that he did not
"turn the rascals out, and claim that
Senator Hill never allowed a republican
office-holder around him. 1t so happens
however, that during Hills service as
Governor of this State he appointed
more Republicans to office than Govern
ors Tilden, Robinson and Cleveland com
bined. Many of these positions carried
with them salaries of over 5000 pei
year, and others 81 800 and 900. Sew
eral of the commissions had Republican
maiorities on them, and at one time, by
Governor IIil's appointment, every mar
on the railroad commission was Repub
! lican. These are facts of common motto
rety and talk here in New York. The
appointment Of Republicans to office
had largely to do with the big Harrison
and Hill vote in 1888, these beneticiaries
of Governor Hill and all the power they
could exert being in the interest of {
Democratic Governor and a Republican
President.

How to Stop southern ontrages.

From the Richmond Dispatch
A delegation of negroes recently wait
ed on the President and induced him tC
listen to their tail of woe about "South
ern Outrages."
In view of the approaching campaign
he gave them what comfort be could
Among other things he advised them tc
collect and publish the statistics.
When this tabulation is made it will be
seen that nearly all of these "outrages'
spring from two classes of crimes thai
the blacks are in the habit of committing
0 lie of these is cold-blooded murder; the
other is worse than murder.
Stop these crimes and the "outrages''
will stop themselves.
Hundreds of times have we seen in
print in negro papers bitter denuncia-
lions of the Southern people for the swift
ness with which they lynch black fiends,
but never once have we seen the Negroes
advised to shake off their iustful instinct.
If punishment were less speedy and
certain than it now is unprotected wo-
men in lonely country places could not
feel safe for a moment.

Complicated i'm Nebraska.

OMAHA, Neb. Nov. 5.-The close of the
ampalgn In Nebraska shows affairs III a
very much complicated condition. While
there are three sets of electoral tickets the
spectacle is presented of the Democratic
managers doing everything in their power
TO keep their candidates from securing
votes. Governor Boyd has issued two let
tiers to the Democrats of the State.
urging them to secretly abandon
their electors and throw their sup
port to Weaver, and to-day the
chairmen of the Democratic county com-
mittees throughout the State began send
ing out sample tickets with the y marks
after the Weaver electors accompanied by
a letter urging such voter tn cast his ballot
for " eaver, aud thus take Nebraska out of
the Republican hands. OF course. this urg
ing will prove effective in u large number
OF cases. but there are many Democrats
who declare they will stand by their own
ticket. The Republican State committee
depends entirely on the proportion
OF Democrats who refuse to obey
the dictates of the party managers.
The chairman of the Democratic State
committee predicts that their advice will
be generally followed and their ticket will
be elected by at least five thousand plu-
rality. The Republican managers, how
ever, assert that the Populiets who former
ly affiliated with the Republican party
have become convinced of the uselessness
OF "a vote for " eaver. except To aid Cleye-
land, and that they Will vote for the Har-
IioOn ELECTORS IN suINcleDt NUMBERS 10 on
set the Democratic vote for Weaver. They
admit that the vote will be very close. but
they hold that the State will stay in the
Republican column. They will not put
their claims in figures.
On the state ticket the fight will be tri-
angular IN fact IS well as in name. All
three parties are nearly evenly divided.
The vote this year will probably be 10000
less than 1t was two years ago. The he
