In the col nict between social and political
interests during the week just past, so
ciety has not merely come on second best,
but has really not been in It at any stage
OF the game. \ glance at tine columns
which follow will show this to have been
the case; and any reader, In reviewing for
himeelf the events Of the week OF which

index and the mirror vii! but confirm the
estimate What few entertainments oc-
CURED took on a decidedly political cast,
either corfosscdly as in the case Of Miss
Bartletts luncheon, or practically, as con
ccrned most of the other functions. where
politics got incXUicabiy mixed with the
cards played, the dances danced, or the re-
treatments served Dozens OF small par
ties came together on Tuesday night over a
telephone transmtter and tried to prosecute
whist games, or swallow a little needed
food between the swiftly arriving election
returns The great majority Of Omahas
population of both sexes, however, was on
the streets on that night, as well as the night
before when Mr.. Bryan was performing his
wild war dance on every cOign OF vantage in
the town and the vast republican procession
was sweeping through the streets. Politics
swallowed up everything else for the time
being. Hereafter it will be different.
Now that the agony is over and the re-
publican candidate is elected to the presi
dency by an electoral majority so over
~hclminS that there is no chance for further
contest and by the greatest popular majority
that any president ever received, society
will resume It's normal channels. Neigh5or
will be reCOnCied with neghbor. father with
son and the battle Of the standards will no
longer be fought over again between
partners at the whist table and in the waltz.
II behoOvos the yictors to be gentle and con-
slderate with the vanqushed, and to refrain
from undue growing or causing the oppose
ton to eat crow. Any lofty paean of self
congratulation on Major MCKinley's cleo
ton is likely to be met with a cCntemptuOus
reminder that this state still fingers in the
bonds of iniquity. and is marching on to
its destiny out OF the Mckinley column.
We who have won should remember that
they who have lest are still American
citizens and creatures of passions like as
we are. We should continue to invite them
10 our houses, and to grieye If we are not
hidden to their receptions and afternoon
teas. So will all good interests be best
subserycd and the Golden rule once more
established.
The appearance on the scene OF the
seasons debutantcs Is expected to work
wonders in the way of enlivening the season.
The first of these blCssOmings is announced
for this week, and others will follow rapidly
until half dozen full-blown flowers will
stand where buds existed incomplete before.
The annual reinforcement of the ranks by
young, eager and energetic girls is like

veins The toiler on the social treadmill.
