HIS Only Request.

1t happened once that a faithful Mos
lem married, but when he saw his
wife she proved to be very unprepos-
sessing. Some days after the marriage
his wife said to him, "My dove, as you
have many relatives, wish you would
let me know before whom / may un-
VEIL" "My gazelle," he replied. 'if
thou wilt only hide thy face from me I
care not to whom thou showest it."

Giles which congressman uses to dec
crate his home or himself, have been
sent through the mails, unlocked and
with only the cOngressman's address
pasted on them. This abuse has been
corrected by newspaper ridicule. But

THE COURIER.

That this was very wise plan was
demonstrated last fall when the clubs
Of the state met in Lincoln in annual
session and preparations for their
entertainment, arrangement for an
audience-room ETC., were made BY
Lincoln club-women under the effic-
lent direction of Mrs. Bushnell, presi.
dent OF the Lincoln wOman's club.
Where city is, like Lincoln, divided
up into a large number Of small clubs,
it is extremely convenient. on Occa-
siOns to have the machinery Of organ
izatiOn into one large city club at
hand. In Omaha there is practically
but one club, the active and very large
woman's club. In any movement in
which the club women Of Omaha are
united. the president of the woman's
club is, tacitly, the executive. Polit-
ically lin club politics. the office of
president of the woman's club requires
more tact, Quickness and parliament
tary knowledge than any other office
in local clubdom. The title Of the
president of the woman club is presi-
dent of the woman's club and presi-
dent of the presidents Of all Lincoln
clubs.

A Sin, Chance.

Mayor Carter Harrison has been
mentioned as presidential democrat
ic possibility. His administration in
Chicago will probably prevent such
an accident. Blaine never recovered
the prestige destroyed by the publica.
tion Of the Mulligan letters. He was
a great man, eloquent and able, but
the suspicion of using a representa-.
tive position for his own gain was
sufficient to make him a "tatOoed
man." The presence in Chicago of
hundreds of thugs and hold-up men
suggests mayOral permission to those
who know the habit Of grafters. Sup.
position of completely or collision
with thugs is sufficient to destroy his
chances with national convention,
which would not be likely to nomi-
nate a man handicapped at the begin
ming by an unfavOrable record.

in Chicago are addressed by this Duke

An Invoice.

IN nVOoCEs
The city primaries just held by the
republican party has again demon
strated the efficacy Of the Lincoln
system. In the Lincoln system no
trading ia feasible. One disreputable
candidate can not make bargain
with a more reputable man to ex-
change delegations. 1t is impossible
for employer or patron to hold any
club over employees. Only limited
sum OF money can be spent and very
few men care to buy votes which they
can not see delivered. When the Lin
coin system was first tried improper
nominations and unworthy and ineli.

The City Federation.

nc SNy reoefauon.
When the federation OF Lincoln wo.
mems clubs ceased to meet, the organ
ization was not discontinued. 1t was
agreed upon by the committee of dele
gates from the several clubs who met
to discuss the propriety Of discontinue
ing the organization, that the 2resi-
dent Of the woman's club OF Lincoln
should act as the president Of presi-
dents Of all the clubs of Lincoln, so
that when there is necessity for
united action an officer for calling
Them together and dividing them into
departmental agencies to accomplish
q definite end may not be lacking.

Postal Reform.

IO6I1l E<GIof1ns
Congressional indignation is aroused
e very session because the cost:Of the
postal service exceeds its income. The
deficit is charged to the newspapers,
in order to keep the public from dis.
covering that the abuse of the frank
ing privilege is the most serious tax
upon the service. just now, when
members of congress are going home.
the Washington post-office is filled
with their boxes. Each congressman
is furnished with three boxes. free
from the House carpenter shop. Two
are of pine, strongly braced, and One
is Of cedar. Each box is three feet
long, two feet wide. and foot and a
half deep. The congressman is sup
posed to pack them with documents,
etc and frank them through the post
office to his home. Investigation
shows that they are frequently filled
with clothing. bedding, tYpe-writers,
etc. For the outgoing congress over
one thousand boxes have been shipped
to different parts Of the country, to.
gether with more than that number
of bags OF public documents, which
will be distributed by the members
and ex.members during the summer.
Their total weight approximates, &C
cording to a Sun correspondent.
400, 900 pounds and the shipments
average 10000 pounds or ten tons a
day. As it costs seven cents pound

gible candidates were nominated, but
for the last two years, Lincoln citizens
have been served by men capable Of
filling the positions they we're elected
to. Captain Billingsley, L. L Lind
say and men Of their ilk formerly
feared by the taxpayers and lovers Of
law and order have no longer any
power. In city government they have
the power Of their individual votes
and that is all. which is not exactly
true: They have repulsive influence.
1t is doubtful il any other influence
could have called out SO many voters
for Winnett as the advertisement
that Captain Billingsley was for Mr..
Woodward. Fear that the gang that
controlled the city before the days OF
the operation of the Lincoln system,
as we'll as wholesome respect for
the administration of Mayor Winnett,
induced men who are not in the habit
Of voting, to vote at the recent pri-
maries. The overwhelming indOrse-
ment Of the candidates Of law and
order demonstrates the complete over
throw Of the old gang which has ter
rOrized and tyrannized over Lincoln
for years.
In taking account Of progress. it is
gratifying to note the impotence Of
these ward bosses, whose interests are
directly opposed TO taxpayers inter-
ests, who want wide-open town, and
a mayor they can reason with and
convince. Little cities are micro.

Billy O'Brien Of Chicago
who is candidate for alderman in
the fourth ward of that city the
editor Of the Record says of him
The recrudescence of Billy O'Brien
Is a distinct misfortune for the resi-.
dents Of the new Fourth ward. Ii he
shall be elected he need not be ex-
pected to serve his ward in any help

neglected and its alleys unclean, and

talking care OF the interests Of the
ward O'Brien will make the interests
Of the ward take care OF Kim. The
evil Of Billy o Brien in the council
will not be borne solely by the Fourth
ward. He is one OF the gray wolves
described by the Municipal Voters
league. He belongs 10 the political
of Chicago. His presence
in the city council will be a menace
TO the entire city.
The "gray wolves" of Lincoln have
been beaten by determined hunters
who have made up their minds that
they shall no longer prey on this com.
They are not wiped out of
existence and they still have certain
influence in conventions where the
pack can assemble and terrify those
not acquainted with their real weak
ness. They are waiting for a chance
and while they are circling around
to find an unprotected spot,
it is just as well that the voters know
that they are there and watching and
that when the common fate Of man
and wolves Overtake them, other
gray wolves" will take their places.
