ABOUT STATE AFFAIRS.

There are some facts in connec
ton with the condition of oul
State government of which oul
people have not taken due account
but we feel that mere statement
of the case will arouse all citizens
to full conception of their duty.
A serious condition will confront
the new Legislature and Governor
at their induction into Office next
January. The treasury will prob.
ably not contain a dollar, and, or
top of this, may be pressed with
considerable outstanding indebted
ness. How to meet this condition
and tide over the next two years
will be most important matter.
The default of Treasurer Hem
ingway, the loss Of 100000 liquor
license caused by the local option
laws, and the doubling of the
school money paid out of the gen
eral fund SO depleted the treasury
that the last Legislature adopted
the temporary makeshift Of issuing
3 per cent warrants, most OF which
have now returned to the treasury.
But now, although the last legis-
lature lodged the deficiency in this
manner, the next one has to meet
the question fairly and settle it one
way or another. Taxation will
have to be increased, or the school
money reduced, or other expe-
dents adopted.
Word comes to US that the
present capitol is in falling down
condition with many valuable rec
ords being ruined by exposure.
The next Legislature will be asked
to build a new capitol or make ex-
tensive repairs on the old one, in
any event necessitating a consider
able expenditure. Where is the
money coming from?
There are only a few Of the i'm
portant matters that will come up
before the next State Administra-
ton for settlement; yet they are
receiving no consideration what
ever from most of the candidates
in the State. Everybody is on the
free silver hobby and, just so they
get into Office, the people may be
damned so far as they care.
Because a man can make a free
silver speech, he is not necessarily
competent to deal with important
affairs of State. The people will
realize when the election is over
that such matters as we have out
lined are OF far greater Importance
in a campaign for State officers
than the free coinage of silver.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this
evening Robert Downing, one of the
most rapidly advancing actors on the
American stage, and who has just
closed in San Francisco a remarkably
long and very successful engagement,
at a season when theatricals are usu-
ally dull, will appear in Victorien Sar-
dou's latest and by many esteemed mis-
chief success, Helena" Mr.. Downing
will be supported by Miss Eugenia
Blair, beautiful and highly accom-
plished artist, and by a company Of
capable players. Helena" the Omaha
bee" does not consider Sardous mas
terpiece, but it says cit is one of the
strongest tragedies the great French
dramatist has produced in recent years.
AS & story it is cast in much the same
passionate lines that served Sardou SO
well in 'Gismonda but the motive is
stronger than in that play" The same
paper goes on to say:
"Gismonda relented at the dictate of
passion-Helena forgives from the
promptings of pity. Gismonda laid hcr
honor as a voluntary Offering ut the
feet of the man who by the imper;ous
ness of his nature swept the chords OF
her soul through all the gamut from
sCorn to passion. Helena, as intense Ill
her hatred, but in the end stronger in
her devotion, seeks first the full meas
ure of revenge upon the man who wrests
from her her honor and flouts her dis
grace even in the sanctity of the clois-
ter, and then, in the strange contra
dictory mood of feminine human ma
ture, first pities, then succors, then
loves"
OF Miss Blair it is added that she has
to carry the burden of the interest of
the story and that she does it with great
skill, but with none too much intensity.
OF Mr. Downing it says "As Orso. chief
of the Guelphs, and the leader Of the
stronger warning faction in Sienna, Mr..
Downing was as fiery and as impetuuus
as he is in the climax of the 'Gladi
ator' He appeared to best advantage
perhaps in the third act, where he sinks
the memory of a long series of oppres-
mitted against one who, having the
power to avenge, relinquishes it,
The play, says Mr.. Downing, will be
given with special scenery painted from
photographs taken in the place in
which the tragedy was enacted. and the
rich and elaborate costumes were made
in Paris for the company from four

thusiasm." The tragedy is in four acts;

yilion on Tuesday Evening.
On Tuesday evening an enjoyable
meeting of men, women and children
took place in the Pavilion at that grow
ing and prosperous suburb Of the city,
Oak Park. The building was packed.
and the speaking and singing did credit
to those having charge of the literary and
musical exercises. Kind-hearted parents
and friends lent q helping hand to make
the children happy.
The names OF over 800 children were
called, and present had been prepared
for every boy and girl. Tive citizens had

home of one is at Oak Park and the other

Rev. A. c. Herrick, who has held re-

years, was presented with gilt OF $50 70.

say, II heartily thank the givers for their
thoughtful gift. and may they be re-

and the little folks went home happy as

w:rHE SIDEWALK ORDINANCE.
Lawyer C. L. White Says 1t Ism
Worth the Paper That Bears 1t.

Lawyer c. L. White Says 1t Isn't
Worth the Paper That Bears 1t.
Despite Lawyer Clinton L. Whites
assurance that the sidewalk ordinance
of the city is not worth the paper on
which it is written, Justice Davis yes
terday found Hugh Casey guilty of its
violation and fined him $40.
The case had been in the Police Court
for more than year, having been con-
tinued from time to time in order to
give Casey an opportunity to erect some
new buildings on lot l in the block be-
tween Eighth and Ninth, M and n
streets, before putting down the cement
walks.
City Attorney Brown contended that
Casey had deceived the court and was
not entitled to leniency, and the court
seemed to take that view of the matter
When the case was called Mr.. White
infol med the court that the ordinance
was invalid, inasmuch as it was in con-
fiict with the State law which pro-
vides for the laying out, Improvement,
ETC., of streets and sidewalks This law,
said Mr.. White, makes no distinction
between streets and sidewalks. Both
are the property of the city, and come
under the same regulations.
Yet the City Trustees have seen fit to
make a distinction. While they hold
that the sidewalks belong to the city,
they make property-owners response
BILE for their care and maintenance, and
have prescribed penalties under which
men may be sent to jail for non-compli-
ance with the provisions of their ordi-
nance.
Rather than have trouble and litiga-
ton over the matter, said Mr.. White,
citizens have complied with this ordi-
nance, but all have not been treated
alike by the authorities. Mr.. Casey had
always expressed a willingness and
disposition to lay good sidewalks
in front of his property, but ne
did not want to put down expensive
walks and have them ruined while his
buildings were being erected. He had
expended some $4,000 in beautifying
that locality, and though the matter
of laying the sidewalk had been de-
layed for some time it was now being
done, and he thought his client was
entitled to consideration under the
circumstances.
City Attorney Brown said he would
not enter on discussion of the ques-
ton of the legality of the ordinance, but
was opposed to granting Mr.. Casey any
further leniency, as he had not acted
fairly toward the court in view of the
many continuances that had been
granted him.
Justice Davis said that while the or
dinance might be invalid he did not, as
Justice of the Peace, care to take the
responsibility of holding that way, and
would consider the ordinance as bind
ing. Mr.. Casey had been found guilty,
and the order of the court was that he
pay a fine of $50.
Mr.. White asked that bond be fixed
on appeal, and Justice Davis said 1t
would be 500.
