THE HlnnnN HAND-

The hidden hand which is directing
the city campaign in the interest Of
e. e. Howell for mayor is the hand Of
Walter Noise. Should Howell be
elected, this hidden hand will imme-
dlately become an iron hand, which
will hold in the firm grasp Of Walter
Noise the entire brewery and liquor
interests in the city of Omaha. When
perhaps too late all the breweries and
saloons, except those controlled by Wal
ter Noise, will realize the true situation
as it is certain to exist in the event of
the election Of f. e. Howell.

Public Opinion.

Exaggerated reports from correspondents
who never get within five hundred miles of
the scene of the war in Macedonia place the
Turks killings at no less than sixty thou
sand in a single district in Monastir, and
these reports have been published by every
newspaper in the United States without the
least question. The Ohrida district, where
these sixty thousand Bulgarians are said
to have been killed, probably does not con-
tain a total population of that number Of
Christians The whole of Macedonia has
a population of no more than three mil
lions according to the best available au-
thorities and more than one-thrd of this
number are Turks and Greeks. who not

CHAPTER XVII.
HE PATRICIANS ENTERTA

To reward the enduring who read politely
through the garish revel of the preceding
chapter, covers for fourteen are now laid
with correct and tasteful quietness at the
sophisticated board Of that fine old New
York family, the Milbreys. Shaded candles
leave all but the glowing table in a gloom
discreetly pleasant. One need not look so
high as the old-fashioned succeed ceiling.
The family portraits tone agreeably into the
half-light of the walls; the huge old-fash-
Toned walnut sideboard sobery ornate with
its mirrors. it's white marble top and its
wood-carved fruit, towers majestically aloft
in proud scorn of the frivolous Chippendale
fad.
Jarvis, the accomplished and incompar-
able butler, would be subdued and scholarly
looking but for the fragrant scandal of his
port-wine nose. He gives finishing little fill
lips to the white chrysanthemums massed
in the central epergne on the long silver
plateau. and bestows last curious survey
upon the cut-glass and silver radiating over
the dull white damask. Finding the table
and its appointments faultless, he assures
himself once more that the sherry will come
on irreproachably at a temperature of so de-
grees; that the Burgundy will not fall be-
low 60 nor mount above 20; for Jarvis wots
of a palate so acutely sensitive that it new
er fails to record variation of so much as
one degree from the approved standard of
temperature.
How restful this quiet and reserve after
the color and line tumult Of the Hgbee
apartment There the flush and bloom of
newness were oppressive to the right
minded. All smelt of the shop. Here the
dull tones and decorous lines caress and
soothe instead of overwhelming the imagi-
nation with effects too grossly literal. Here
is the veritable spirit of good FORM

many survive to us, save in the shameful

as are left, we may confidently expect to

find in the house of Milbrey, a settled air of
gloom that suggests insolvent but stubborn

The King antitrust bill seems to be altogether a buncombe measure The Attorney-General, the legal adviser of the state, has pointed out it's defects, but the managers of the bill refuse to profit by his advice. and amend the bill so as to make it mean something The object of it's introduction and pressure for its passage in it's present deform. edcondition smacks of the purest political rot imaginable.

THE THIRD TERM

1t IS now an open secret that the present incumbent of the Ex- ecutive Chair of Arkansas, has in contemplation the overstep- ping of precedents and again of fering himself for the third term as q candidate for Governor.
 This manifes tation of inten- tion on his part is all the more apparent by the fact that his trusted lieutenants, who had heretofore spread their wings for gubernatorial honors, have quietly folded them. and are now casting about for minor places.
 Two terms, as Governor, would satisfy the ambitious as pirations of most men in that line; but Gov. Davis is altogeth- CT different from any other man that was ever Governor of Ark ansas. If he runs for Governor again 1t may be to his undoing. The people. as a general thing, are opposed to third term candi- dates and to Governor in par ticular. To justify the violation of former rules must necessarily require cogent reasons and if any exist why Gov. Davis should be elected for third time. we fail to see them.
 Even admitting for argument sake that he is as good as other good men, 1t would be asking entirely too much of any reason able man to say that he is better, so that to claim for him a third term would be without the sem blance of justice and such a po- sition could only be maintained by mad folly and blind hero worship. That he may succeed again we will not, now, gain say. but that he should would be no indication that the mass es had acted upon that sober, reflective policy which should ever characterize their conduct for the public veal.
 The good of the state should ever be the paramount issue with the citizen, and the ambi- tion of no man should come be tween him and that duty. To too long continue any one man in the Governors office h as been found by experience. detri- mental, and hence the unwrit- ten law against third term ten ures. To violate this law. at this juncture, would be without excuse or paliation, and while the people may not only violate the unwritten, but, also, the written law with impunity, the cOuSeui1enees are seldom, f avar compensatory for such rash acts. The citizen must ever bear in mind the responsibility of his po- sition, and the honest man, and he who has a decent regard for his country's welfare, will lay aside all prejudice, banish all emotions and bring calmly to bear his sound judgement before 1.
