He resides in a atrongty Democratio ward and Con gressional district. As a clerk he was rapid and accurate. Trom the standpoint of the public service Ur.

For the most part, they have been in the service for a long time, and before there was any prejudice against combining active politics with the civil service they kept aloof from Tirfmarlaa And all rHjf oui, thing, not from principle, but because they had no tastes leading them in that direction.

He has been the member from the Fourth Ward for along time, and chairman of the committee. He resigned both positions in favor of Mr. Baker, a young lawyer of political aspirations.

-There are certain lines la' politics along which publio sentiment runs on a gauge broad enough to embrace both parties, and it Id well that the real nature of the demand is gaining general recognition.

It took Tsars to educata the political pabllo op to aa under landing of the exact nature of the demand In question.

The trained and weather-beaten machine politicians could see no sense In the distinction made, but they have had their eyes opened by this time. It is a distinction with a difference as broad as that between popular and ollque control of politics. THE C03VEHTI0B TO-DiY. This Is an important day with the Ee-publlcans of; Cook County, and, for that matter, with the county irrespective of party. The nominations to be made today are few but not insignificant If Judicious, success at the polls Is Insured; If weak and unsatisfactory they will be put op only to be knocked down at the polls and trod beneath indignant feet.

In certain respects the Superior Court Judgeship is of first importance as compared with all the seven nominations. Practically original courts of record have the decision of the greater part of litigation, and none but lawyers of exceptionally high standing should be placed upon the circuit or superior bench; but there are special reasons why it is of groat moment that a good man, Republican In sympathies, should be elected to suoceed Judge Dickey. Both Judicial nominations must be of a nature to command the support of good lawyers and good citizens upon their merits, otherwise they will be defeated, and that deservedly. The Republican party of Cook County and the Seventh Judicial District have no right to expect success unless the nominees are conspicuously well fitted for the bench. The five County Commissioners to bo elected in November may or may not be named to-day.

It will all depend, probably, upon the wisdom or unwisdom of the selections made by the convention. The county is tired of ring rule, with its plundering and blundering. The people would eagerly improve the opportunity to make a radical change in county affairs if only the right kind of candidates for commissioners are named. Four of the Ave will be selected from the city. It is expected that each of the three divisions of the city will have a representative on the ticket, and the West Division Under the present Congressional apportionment there are in Chicago as many Congressmen as County Commissioners to be elected.

There, is a certain deference to local 'con siderations which is entirely proDer, but it must not be abused. The candidates selected must be men who can command support without regard to locality. It will not bo possible to arouse much party zeal in Chicago this falL This city has for its motto in off years, "Men, not measures." But it may as well be understood thoroughly by the regular politicians that success this fall will be of very great aa vantage me contest or abso. wnen a full line of county officers, four Congress men, and a long list of legislators will be elected. The convention of to-day will sow tne seed or victory or defeat a year hence.

THE DAZOTA JUEFUBLICAH3. The proposed constitution for South Da kota is to be submitted to a vote of the people on the 31 of November. On the same day aa eleetion for State officers and members of the Legislature wilt be held, and the questions of prohibition minority representation, and capital location sub mitted. The Republican State Convention to nominate State officers will moot at Huron to-day. Tho work of the oonren tlon will be confined to the nominations for State officers and to the formulating of a piattorm enunciating the principles ot South Dakota Republicans.

As the ticket will have more or less influence In for warding the movement toward Statehood it should of course be made up of the very best material. it was claimed at tne close or the bioux Falls convention that the wishes of the people of the Territory had been carried out. This will be aa opon questioa until after the date of the election, Nov. 3. If the people are really interested in the question ot division and Statehood a large vote will be pollod.

It is most important that every man in South Dakota should vote. Ho should vote on the question of the ratification of the constitution whether he votes for State officers and members of tne legislature or not A light vote on the constitution win be construed as evi dence that the people lndif- erent on the question of division, and that they care little aa to whether South Dakota is admitted as State or not An' overwhelming vote in favor of the constitution will be accepted as proof positive that the division of the Territory Is desired by the people.and that South Dakota is eager for admission to the Union as a State The prohibition should be stated. is to be submitted to the people as an in dependent proposition. The question is left with the people of the proposed State. In regard to woman suffrage it Is made obligatory on the Legislature to submit an amendment striking out the word "male' from the article relating to election and suffrage to a vote of people.

The vote Nov. 3 on capital location will be for a tern- poraryseatoi government. Alia city or town receiving a plurality of votes will be come for the time being the capital. This leaves the question of the permanent capl tal open until the Territory has been ad mittodasa Bute. Then it is proylded that the Legislature shall submit the choice of a permanent capital to the people.

A majority vote Is required to determine this choice, and if no town should receive the majority at the first election then the two towns receiving the highest number of votes are to be voted for at a second elec tlon, the town receiving the majority to become the permanent seat ot government No Territory probably ever applied for admission to the Union with so good and carefully considered a constitution South Dakota, a here la every reason in favor ot the admission of South Dakota, aud it is certain that the people will do their full part at the coming election. The rest will remain with Congress. It one-tenth of what Dr. -Klernan said of the Cook County Insane Asylum before tho Chicago Medical Society on Monday night is true the complaint made by the Reform Committee of the Chicago Woman's Club were Justified a hundred times over. This whole question of abuses, bad food, and bad management has been under discussion for a good many months.

If It be said that Dr. Klernan is biased or preju diced there are others who pronounce the institution the worst of Its kind of a hun dred visited. The remedy is In a board of county commissioners that will act in accordance with publio sentiment on this question, and ultimately the placing of such Institutions under the control of a board of State char. lttes.4 THE F5CH ELE0TI05S. In the French elections of Oct 4 there were elected 187 Conservatives and 136 Republicans.

On the 18th of Ootober 222 Sdepulles were balloted for in fifty departments or, States. In six of the departments the Conservatives had a ma jority, and in six other departments the difference between the strength of tho Conservatives and the opposition' is very slight la thirty-eight departments the Republicans were In As the vote by States it was not difficult for the Republicans to mass their' strength. It was agreed that in every ease where there was no election on the 4th of Ootober that the Republican oi Radical candidate receiving the highest vote on that day should be the candidate of both Radicals and Republicans on the 18th. On this plan the Re publicans setu to hare elected all but 13 of the 222 members voted for on Sunday. Counting the Deputies from Algeria this gives the Republicans and Radicals 380 members in the next Chamber and the Conservatives 200.

Of the latter 140 are Monarchists in their antecedents and-tendencies and 60 are Bonapartlsts or Im perialists. The Republicans and Radicals are more likely to act together than the Orleanlsts and the Bonapartlsts. OAaXilD ABO THE BELL PATEBT. It is now given out that Attorney Gen eral Garland waa inveigled into becoming a stockholder in the Pan Electrio (telephone) Company by -his private The old warning, beware of the dog, should be given a new version. The wily short-hand scribbler Is the perilous element'in official society.

Being an old bachelor the Attor ney General could not put in Adamfe plea, laying the blame opon his wife. It may as well be remembered by Mr. Garland and his defenders that the real point of criticism is not the fact that ho is a stockholder In this or that corporation. There is nothing wrong in his owning, in whole or in part, any patent right He has never been criticised for that, but for mak ing use, through' his immediate subor dlnate, of his position to give bis stock i boom. What he allowed to be done, it he did not directly Instigate it, would have been reprehensible even if he had had no personal interest In the matter, but when taken in connection with that personal in terest it becomes positively Inexcusable, Ths Istzb Ocsax has no wish to inter pose any objection to a thorough over hauling ot the Bell patent If the allega tions against it are true It ought to be an nulled, and the Pan lectrio Company is entitled to any benefits naturally resulting therefrom.

The personal interest 'ot an Official should not stand In the way ot justice. Mr. Garland was anxious not to appear tn the case, but he allowed a method to be pursued which was utterly indefensi ble. He should have insisted that the con test be made to take the usual course of such contests. Then his holdings ot stock would have been no cloud upon his character.

Since the exposure ot the Garland Inter est a new suit has been begun which is taking the proper channel of procedure. The Bell people insist that the polnta raised were passed upon In litigation already decided, while the prosecution In slats that new issues have been Joined In the McCorry bill of complaints. This raises a question of tact rather than law. It is claimed by the complainants that the Dolblar and the Drawbaugh suits ad mitted what Is now denied, namely, that Bell was the original inventor ot the tele phone. The whole matter is so very Important that a thorough overhauling ot the case should be bad.

Telephonic communica tion Is very important, not only In cities, out towns ana villages, it is a con spicuous feature ot communication be tween citizens ot the same city not only. but between denizens of neighboring villages. There should be no partiality shown a great monopoly because the At torney General has seriously compromised himself in connection with contesting the patent upon which it rests. THE COTBOIL ABO THE LIB BABY. The proposition to permit the Publio Library to occupy the vacant rooms on the upper floors of the City Hall has been dis cussed for over; a year.

It has received serious attention from the City Council for several months. The matter Is still unde cided, however, and yet no more Important or popular has been considered by the Aldermen for a long time. There are many reasons why the Council should take early action in this regard. The Council's Committee on Buildings, of which Alderman Mahony Is Chairman, have agreed with substantial unanimity to recommend that the Mayor and Commis sioner Cregler, together with the library directors, have the arranging of the details and the fixing of the amount of room in the City Hall to be devoted to library pur poses. If the Chicago Pabllo Library is to be given the unused rooms in the City Hall it should be done speedily.

The present quarters supply 16,324 square feet of space. Should any large unoccupied room In the City Hall be loft out ot -the the library will "not receive any benefit In the way of enlarged accommodations. There should be set apart for the library at least 20,000 square feet of space to moot all its press lng demands. The reference department in the library at the present time affords room for but three tables, and these only by the utmost crowding and Inconvenience. There should be space in this department tor at least nine tables.

This Is merely one Illustration ot how crowded this publio Institution now Is, and with Its Increasing patronage and popularity It fails utterly to meet the wants ot who are its dally visitors and most regular readers, for whom It was established and Is maintained. The urgent need of more secure rooms for the valuable books belonging to the oily is so well known that no one has ever questioned it The Inaccessibility ot the present rooms, which are not so central as the City and which have no elevators leading to tltem. is well understood by those who have ever visited the library. The Item ot rent alone now $4,000 -a year is one which would be at once saved to Jthe eity and as the City Hall rooms are vacant and have never been occupied, this removal would be no hlnderanoe to publio business nor loss, but a saving In money to the people. The library has now in round numbers 112,000 which demand, the most careful' and continual attention, and many of which, if lost through fire or other calamity, could probably not be replaced in twenty years.

The rooms In the City Hall were so constructed that places of comparatively perfect safety are ready for Immediate occupancy. The season ot the year strongly sug gests the speedy fitting up of tyiese vacant rooms it they are to be turned over to the Fubllo Library. It will scarcely be wise to remove the 112,000 volumes in the library la the depth of winter. That should be done at as early a day as possible. And the hangs should take place soon, so that the library can be in the best ot working order long before the holidays.

TUB ZHABTOUX XT8TEBT. Major Kitchener, in his official report of the operations of the British army on the Nile, makes an attempt to clear up the mystery of the surrender ot Khartoum. His information has In the main come from those who escaped from Khartoum, or from the Arabs who at the time were In the Mahdl's army, but who at a later date rebelled against the MahdL On the 14th of December General Gordon wrote that the town might fall la ten days. On the 6th of January Gordon offered the Khar-toumers who preferred It the free permis sion to leave the town and go to the MahdL Ten thousand took advantage ot this offer, leaving 14,000 tn the town. Omdurman fell on the 13th ot January.

The garrison was well treated so as to en courage the troops in Khartoum to desert After the capture ot Omdur man the Arabs by constructing batteries along the river bank' closed the White Nile to Gordon's steamers. On Jan. IS a sortie waa made by Gordon's troops against the rebel works on the south front Jan. 20 the news of the defeat of the British at Aba Klea reached Khartoum. Jan.

22 the news of the arrival of Gen eral Stewart's command on theNUe above Metemneh led the Mahdi to decide to make a desperate attack "on the town. At this date the state of the garrison was desperate from want of food. All the donkeys, dogs, cats, rats, been eaten, and the troops were subsisting on a ration ot gum and a sort of bread made from pounded palm-tree fibers. Many of them were too weak to stand. On the 23d Gordon had an Interview with Farag Pasha.

At this Interview Farag pro posed to Gordon to surrender the town and make terms with the MahdL On the 25th Gordon was sick and did not appear In public. He had several Interviews with the leading men ot the town, however, and in the evening crossed the river to Tutl Island. Later, it la said. he returned to his palace in Khartoum. Before daylight on the morning of the 26th the rebels made a determined attack on the south front There was no opening of gates by traitors.

The rebels fillei the ditch with bundles, of straw, brushwood, beds, and climbed over the fortifica tions. 'Gordon, appears, waa not warned of the attack. When he learned that the rebels had entered the town he started at the head ot his company of black troops toward the house of the Austrian ConsuL He was killed at the first volley fired by the rebel troops be encountered, and In the massacre that followed 4,000 persons at least were killed. The Mahdi had promised his followers as much gold and sliver as they couM carry when Khartum felL Three days after the fall of the town Farag Pasha was brought up to show where the government money was hid. He could not do this and he was killed in the market place of Om durman.

On the third day after the fall of the town many, of the prisoners saw Sir Charlea Wilson's steamers off Tutl Island with the English on board, A large nam ber of the Bagara- Arabs left the Mahdi shortly after the fall of Khartoum, dis gusted at their failure to obtain a larger amount of plunder. The attempt of the Mahdi to bring them back by force resulted in a rebellion. The siege of Khartoum lasted 317 days. and Major Kltohener story of the siege and the fall, ot the town differs from others that have been published in the i care that he gives to the details. In his account the only basis tar the theory that Gordon escaped is the story ot his crossing to Tutl Island the night before the Mahdi made bis final attack.

The witnesses who speak ot this saw him on the steamer Ismallla, and soma of the soldiers on the Island make reference to bis prose noe to settle some dispute among the garrison there. No one speaks positively of his return, but several testify to seeing, him just before he was killed. There la, of course, confusion in the stories as to both occurrences, but Major Kitchener has no doubt that Gordon was killed near his own palace in Khartoum. Major Kitchener, it should be remem bored. Is the man who was In charge of the detachment of troops that kept open communication along the Nile above Don gola.

His facilities for gathering informa- tlon were better than those ot the other British offloers, and he has written with appreciation of the difficulties In Gordon's way, with a knowledge of the country, and with a clear understanding of the clrcum stances. Ho closes with the remark: "Never was a garrison so nearly rescued. never was a commander so sincerely lamented."

SISEbTABLISEJLEBT II 8C0TLa.ro. The earnest discussion In progress In Great Britain relative to disestablishment is very significant It can not be denied that the same spirit pervades it which marked disestablishment in Ireland fifteen years ago. The bootoh resbyterlans are profoundly agitated over the question, and tnelr presbyteries, uke that of Glasgow a few days ago, are detply considering this most Important step In the history of the development of Presbyterian ism. The Presbyterians ot Scotland are di vided into several powerful and popular branches. la the first place, there is what Its adherents affectionately call the Auld Kirk, which is the Church of Scotland.

This branch, or more properly this stem tor it waa from it that the others branched out had, according to the reports ot 1883, 570,000 communicants or mem bars, about 1,700 and 1,584 churches, chapels, and stations. The next In Importance, numerically. Is the Free Church. They and those belong ing to all the other denominations are the dissenters. Those branches coming un der this designation date back to Ersktne's time, in the early part of the last century.

and continued to increase In numbers and infiuenoe until the great disruption in 1843. The more Immediate cause of this great debate and division was the law of patronage; that is, the right of the people to choose their own ministers. Among the leaders ot that movement was Dr. Chal mers. The Free Church was formed then on this piattorm of popular selection, and carried off very nearly bait of the members ot the establishment This principle 16r which the Free Church leaders contended so gallantly was brought about In 1874 by the act ot Parliament abolishing patronage and Testing in the people of each church the power to select their own minister.

The Free Church in 1884 had 1,123 mln Isters, A.UOU churches, members, and members and adherents to tho number ot 945,000. Another powerful body Is the United Presbyterian Church. Its latest reports show 589 556 churches, and 500,000 members and adherents. There are other denominations, among them the Baptists, Independents (Congregational Is Lb), Methodists, unitarians, wiia some Catholics, and about 80,000 Episcopal- lans. v- Publle opinion In Scotland may be fairly judged on the subject of disestablishment by the relative strength ot the various members ot the Presbyterian family as compared with tne Aula luric.

ita no income bat that of a voluntary character the Free Church's receipts for 1884 amounted to 628.222, or about $3,141, 110; that of the. United Presbyterian Church for 1882, also voluntary contribu tions, 377.718, or about $1,883,590, while the voluntary contributions reported in 1883 by the Established Church aggre gated 377,720, or about $1,888,600. Those laboring tor or interested in dis establishment express complete confidence In the speedy success ot the movement Even the supporters of the present order bt things confess that the change Is but a matter of time. The heavy majority of dissenters In Scotland over the Auld Kirk constituency la becoming year by year so strong and Importunate that it appears to be Impossible to much longer withstand their attacks. With Liberalism making the advances in Scotland which have been shown in late years, there can not remain any reasonable doubts respecting the near fate ot state religion in England as well as Scotland.

This opposition to the English Church In England Is Tory ominous, as shown by the solicitude of the supporters ot the establishment, in their profuse use of thoir press to defend tho church against ail real or fancied assaults. Ths recount ot the aldermanlo votes in the Sixth Ward of this city has been com pleted. There were four candidates in the field. That ward has the unon viable dla. Unction ot being represented In the Coun cil by E.

F. Cullerton, His colleague, Doeroer, was a candidate for re-election, and the contest, aa it proved, lay between Doerner and Monear, both Democrats, It was announced at the canvass ot the returns upon their face that the sitting. Alderman seemed to have a plurality ot about 90. The actual recount resulted In Doerner having 1,519 votea.Monear 1,446, a difference of 73. This aldermanlo count may have afforded some opportunity for an unofficial canvass of the mayoralty vote of the ward, even if so, the publio will hardly learn the result ot such a sub-rosa canvass.

On the face of the returns the vote stood, Harrison 2,415, Smith 2,477. That was the vote aa originally reported at police There are good reasons to believe that an actual count of the ballots rould make a much better showing tor Judge Smith. A host Important chapter in the secret history of the Johnson administration Is given in the letter of the Hon. Chauneey M. Depew published this morning.

Republican leaders knew that there were differences between the President and tho General of the Armies, but none of them knew to what extent the President at tempted to coerce the General. It Mr. Depew gives the tacts, then the change In President Johnson's attitude toward the South and his hostility to General Grant are made plain.
