Critic devotes a column of comment upon the subject , predicting a postal telegraph , and declaring that It Is- 'as necessary as u means of communication among the masses ns the mail department of- llio general postofflccs. It concludes : "There Is every reason to believe that n government telegraph , whether acquired by Independent construction regardless of exist- ing ¬ comi otition , or by gradual purchaso'upon- Jits own terms as cxi.sting competition bo- peonies forced to the wall , would soon become BO thoroughly popularized that its patrons kvould no more consent to its discontinuance than to the abolition of the general postofllco- pnd would wonder that they ever submitted po long and patiently to the exactions and Impositions of a system that Just now has n tighter grip upon the public than cvor be- fore. ¬ . " This is said to bo the position ns- Bumecl - by Senators Kdtnunds , Sherman , Hawley , Allison and leading members of the house. , ' ! am most heartily in favor of it , " said Senator Cuilom , of Illinois , to-day hi answer fco.a question in regard to his opinion touch- ing ¬ governmental ownership of the telegraphs tot the country. "I have been in favor of a government telegraph for years , but ever iijeo. I reached a conclusion on the subject Xny.timo nnd mind In the senate have been so engrossed with the intcr-Btato commerce bill that I could not go into other matters in- frttfh ) I was almost as much interested. Now , that I have that bill off my shoulders , I- Wmll do what I can to urge a government or- Jpostal telegraph bill on the senate. If no- bpo clso will introduce n bill I will draft nnd Introduce ono myself. Yes. the subject has been several times before the committee on and post roads. I believe that lls' have been prepared , but I do not rcmcni- r - that one. has ever been introduced. H possible that tlio prospect of permanent rival lines which seemed so fair when the &altimoro it Ohio company constructed its ey tein led some who were in favor of such a Measure into a temporary condition of in- Difference. - . If so , there can no longer bo any S&CUHO for Indifference. Tlio entire telegraph ystem of the country is practically con- trolled ¬ by ono man. Telegraph communica ¬ tion js at his mercy. The business and com- mercial ¬ secrets of the whole country are nt- Siis command. Ho can send th& business Wicrmometer up or down will. It is Biirely high time to take sreps toward control of the : * lC rapli system by the people. I would not attempt to bargain with Jay Gould or any other man for the purchase of lines already iruill. The government should construct its Own systems. It would bo advisable , I pre- sume ¬ , to place it in control of the postoftlco- nepartmcnt. . I believe the senate is fully iady for the question and that a bill , if introduced , would fwss without serious opposition. In yew of the history of telegraph ownership fc'tlic United States and in view of recent cc'urrences , I really don't see how any ono Mould show good reason why n government1J- fclejjrraph should not bo constructed ns soon ls possible. But I haven'totho least doubt hnttho legislation necessary for the work fcrill ho enacted within three months. " ' '" Though Senator Cuilom is so complete a convert to the principle of government ow- nership ¬ of the telegraph , lie in not ready to (follow the principle to its logical conclusion ftnd argue also that the government that is- Ihe people should own and operate the rall- ) roads , though in some foreign countries it is- nultfl as feasible and necessary to own the ( one as the otlior. The senator's objection to ownership of the railroads is that it would place such n tremendous power in the hands ) f n party administration to perpetuate itself. The vast army of employes necessary for the jpcratlon of n great railroad system would , iio thinks , bo too dangerous n lover to bo safely put into the hands of the party politics of this time. At any rale , ho thinks that the telegraph is the present and pressing ques- tion ¬ and ono thing should bo taken at a Xime. Secretary Wliiltipy Sick.- TV . WASHINGTON , Oct. 20.

Commodore Harmony says the ap ¬ propriations for the past year were entirely insufficient to prevent decay of government projierty.

GOOD DEMAND FOR .MONEY. Bankers nccoining More Cautious On Account of llcucatotl Fall * nrcs Activity In the New York Stock Market.- In . ( lie Commercial World. CHICAGO , Oct. !!tt. [ Siioclal Telojram to the Bun. ] There nro very few changes to note In local financial affairs. Quito a good demand existed for money from all sources , but there was no particular stringency , ns bankers were well supplied with loanable- funds. . Regular customers of the financial Institutions and local borrowers in good re- pute ¬ were enabled to obtafti all the funds asked for , yet bankers ns a rule demanded undoubted security , and loaned only on safe and wide margins. The movement of "cur- rcncy - to the Interior was moderately free and mainly to wheat and livestock districts. Some money was forwarded for the purpose of cribbing corn which parties have sold for May delivery. .Inquiry for loans on behalf of operators on the board of trade vas mod- crate , but no trouble was experienced in ob- taining ¬ all the favors wanted. Shippers of- fered ¬ some short date paper , which was ac- cepted. ¬ . Lumber dealers and manufacturers wore moderate borrowers. Merchants in the wholesale trade offered considerable paper for discount and they were readily accommodated. Collections are reported good in sections where the crops have been secured in good condition. Rates of interest are well maintained at G}{ (S7 per cent on call and 7@8 per cent on time pai cr, with very little money loaned under 7 per cent. Money in rostern financial cen- tres ¬ is working easier , still there is consider- able ¬ difticulty experienced in obtaining bank favors. Failures in commercial circles have made bankers more cautious and they are very indc ] > cndent with their limited funds. Foreign money markets arowithout material 'change. The balance of trade continues in favor of this country , though it will prob- ably ¬ bo moro evenly balanced in a short time. Eastern exchange was in fair supply and the demand was moderately active. Sales be- tween ¬ banks were made at 40@50 cents dis- count ¬ per (1,000 and tlio market closed steady at that range. Foreign exchange was in fair request and the offerings were not very largo. The market ruled firmer and prices higher , with small sales of shippers' sixty days docu- mentary ¬ bills on London at 84BO4.80 % and closed rather firm at 4.80 } . The New York stock market has exhibited considerable ac- tivity ¬ during the week Justclosed. Money was not quite so close in that quarter and ttie earnings of the principal railroads showed some increase and there was less inclination ts sell stocks. Uesldcs , parties who were on- "short" side of the market were moro in- clined ¬ to cover their contracts. These fea- tures ¬ imparted a little moro strength and stcapincss to the market and prices averaged higncr , though they ruled irregular within a small range. Wall street operators traded with considerable freedom , but outside and foreign speculators traded only moderately. Western railroads have attracted consider- able ¬ attention witli some disposition to sell their shares , but the earnings of some of the roads that lead through the districts which produce largo quantities of grain and a largo number of animals have checked the decline in prices to some extent. The sales on the New York stock exchange for the week ag- gregated ¬ 1,038,000 shares. Speculative trad- ing ¬ has improved very little in grain circles during the past week , but there has been moro activity manifested in hog products. Local operators have shown some disposition to enlarge their speculative lines and outsldo orders have been larger both in number and quantity. The receiving and shipping branch of the trade , while not quite as active as during the previous two or three weeks , has shown considerable life. Interior shippers evidently desire to forward as much if their farm products ns possible before the close of lake navigation , and would undoubt- edly ¬ give the Chicago market the preference f they were enabled to obtain all the facili- ies - which nro promiscuously extended to- .hem at other points. While Chicago mer- chants ¬ have little to complain of, especially iis far ns the receiving and shipping of grain is concerned , yet those interested in trade ace inclined to the opinion that it can bo fur- ther ¬ enlarged if an united effort bo made to- tccuro ( it. la fact , it is admitted that if n- "ai go share of the farm products of the west . nn bo turned toward the Chicago market the speculative trade hero will bo speedily revived and the mercantile trade of the city bo greatly increased by the exchange of goods for the farm products received. It is- lainicd ; that the attention of cxK rtcrs and merchants in foreign markets should bo es- pecially ¬ directed to the excellent quality of grain received hero and inspected by official inspectors , and that it is superior to that offered at seaboard points and which it is surmised is mixed in many cases , al- though ¬ selling within a fraction of the best grades here. Millers In eastern states should also understand this feature of our trade. Country shippers now have their grain weighed at the elevators here at a trifling ex- pense ¬ and this is regarded as beneficial , as the weight is certified to by an independent pnrty. Other movements will no doubt bo shortly inaugurated which will bo beneficial to the shippers of grain and the trade of- Chicago. . The matter of discriminating in the item of freights should be investigated and nn effort bo made to secure equal facili- ties ¬ for Chicago receivers as may bo obtained by merchants at ether points. An effort , no doubt , will bo made to have terminal charges abolished , which also have been nn embargo on our trade. A reduction in storage charges is not ono of the improbabilities , ns it is hinted that with tlio completion of the new elevators now in progress of erection thcro will bo a scaling dowu of storage rates. Prices during the week have exhibited very little change. Freights have ruled easier , which has en- couraged ¬ a little moro buying of grain for shipment and vessels were chartered to ur- rivo. - . Stocks of grain are gradually increas- ing ¬ , but not ns rapidly as during former ycaw. Supplies of provisions nro consider- able ¬ reduced , especially of lard. The export movement of Hour , grain and provisions is well maintained and the advices from abroad indicate considerable strength in that quar- ter ¬ , iicconiniiiled | with higher prices for some articles. Receipts of live stock continue lib- eral ¬ , especially of cattle and sheep. Tlio packing in the west is progressing very fa- vorably ¬ and the result for the summer sea- son ¬ will show a decrease of about 50,000 hogs as compared with the returns of last season. The improvement in weight will probably bo- aufllcicnt to make up for the deficiency in- number. . FATALLY STABBED.- A . Cubic Line Laborer Found Cut on the Street. John Kelley , a laborer on the cable Hue , was stabbed by an unknown man this morn'- ing about 12:30 : o'clock, and is thought to be- in a critical condition. He, in company with two or three companions , were on the s.ldo- walk across the street from engine house No 3 , when the workmen near by were attracted by 4iis screams. Hushing up to him they .found him lying on the sidewalk with the blood gushing from a long cut on the side ol his face and two wounds in his side. In the confusion that followed his companions wore lost and nothing was learned of their Idon- tity. . Kelley was taken to the police station and his wounds were examined by Dr Ralph , but ho was in such n beastly state o1 intoxication that it was impossible to deter- mine whether the wounds would prove fatal or not. The chances , however , are against him. The wounds nro both in the right sidt near the bottom of the ribs , and are about an Inch apart. Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning1 a mar named S. O'Dowoll was arrested on suspl clan of having done the stabbing.- Mrs. . . Foster lle-Klectcd. CEDAR RAPIPS , la. , Oct. S9.Tho lows W. C. T. U. re-elected J. Ellen 'Foster presi- 'dent and J. M.

Scaulaii's Appcurnnce linst Night In the "Irish Minstrel" nt Doyd's.- Mr. . . Scanlau is great nelijier ns nn actor nor as an Irish comedian are a dozen men la the lower walk ot.tho profession , from which adventitious circumstances raised him , who are capable of excelling him in both these respects. His Irishmen , as a rule , are of the tender , sentimental , semi-poetic and mildly melo-dramatic order , who are found only Ui tlio fanciful sketches of fiction writers r in the plays of dramatists whoso knowl- idgo - of Irish characters Is picked up from ho trashy stage productions of a generation iigo. Irish lads are not perennially roaming about as amateur detectives , discovering lost wills , circumventing the machinations of scoundrels nnd being rewarded by receiving , in marriage , the daughter of the old man whom they have saved from eviction , or the wayward son from whom they have averted the lightning of a father's anger on the reproach of his father's friends. Neither nro they so gifted with poesy as to reel it off with the fluency of n ballad-singer ; nor yet BO deeply read in philosophy as to give expression on the slightest suggestion to aphorisms which would do honor to a doctor of laws. As n rule , they uro hard-working , industrious nnd , in the main , practical fel- lows. ¬ . But Mr. Scnnlan doubtless knows that such i >ersonages would not enable him to smile throughout bis pieces and indulge in his stage lovc-inakiug and sing bis songs , some of which arc unquestionably grateful to the car. In so far, his work cannot bo styled at illustrating nature. It simply personifies nn ideal , the object of which is solely to en- tertain. ¬ . Yet , the wilderness of the method employed is a decided improvement over tlio- bloodundthunder Bysteui used by some of his predecessors. The moro natural of his witty remarks provoke a modest laugh but others equally witty , though made to order by the dramatist , pass by unhonored.- Mr. . . Scnnlan ought , to deserve the title of Irish comedian , which means moro than the ability to sing and smile , give us ono char- acter ¬ , in his repertoire , the distinguishing feature of which would bo manliness and devotion with n native humor nnd wit which would not emanate from the play-wright.

MANAGER FOR OMAHA YET. Plans For the New Gymnasium Which Is Sure to Ko linilt js Interesting Gossip About Local Sports. Something About Base Ball. The new western league that was supposed to have been organized, at Kansas City a month since was not really organized until Thursday last at Chicago. In truth there is some doubt yet as to the bona fldcncss of the enterprise. Arthur Briggs of this city was in attendance , but nothing new has been gained in the way of information from him. The clubs from Minneapolis , St. Paul , Omaha , Des Moines , Kansas City , St. Louis nnd Chicago were admitted , but poor old Lincoln was rejected. Duvo Rowe , the base bighcockalorum of the capital , was present to look to the interests of that city , but Tom Loftus of St. Louis outgeneraled him , nnd St. Louis was given the preference over Lincoln. The Chicago nnd St. Louis dallies denounced the enterprise as a- catchpenny affair which must de- pend ¬ on Sunday games for n sustenance , nnd that it is extremely proble- matical ¬ whether it will receive suilloient patronage to keep it alive until the middle of the season. However , this is a little over- drawn ¬ , for with proper management the league can bo made ono of the best paying base ball associations in tlio country ; without it , its failure is a foregone conclusion.- As . to Omaha , thcro is literally no ball news. The directors of the local club have as yet failed to secure a manager and not a- Hinglo player , unless it bo Walsh and Henley , nnd Messitt has even been spoken to about next season. Hoekctt , the old Newark , N.- J. . . , manager BO anxiously sought after by the Oinnhas , has nlgned to take chnrgo of the Syracuse Stars next year and if they are after anybody else , assiduous inquiry fails to reveal that fact. Dave Rowu was hero Friday. They may possibly bo negotiating with him. Ho- is n tolerably fall- ball player , but no mana- ger. ¬ . Dave thinks ho has been b.ully treated nt Lincoln and would bo pleased to como to- Omaha. . The directors have held no meet- ings ¬ for the past three weeks , and from the general aspect of affairs tlio base ball outlook for Omaha next season does not glow with the color of the rose. It may be , though , that a base ball surprise will bo sprung bo- fora - many weeks upon the local moguls of the game. It is in course of incubation , any- way ¬ , and the promise of an early batch is ex- ceedingly ¬ bright. The New Athletic Hnll.- Tlio . building of the new Athletic hall Is at last a certainty.

"Without n single exception It is believed con-press will , this-wlntcr , either establish iwstaltelegraphy or pass nn Inlcr-sUto telegraphbill , making the mime regulations as is nowimposed upon railroad traffic by the Inter-state

Critic devotes a column ofcomment upon the subject , predicting apostal telegraph , and declaring that It Is-

'as necessary as u means of communicationamong the masses ns the mail department of-

llio general postofflccs. It concludes :

"There Is every reason to believe that ngovernment telegraph , whether acquired byIndependent construction regardless of exist-ing

¬

comi otition , or by gradual purchaso'upon-Jits own terms as cxi.sting competition bo-peonies forced to the wall , would soon becomeBO thoroughly popularized that its patronskvould no more consent to its discontinuancethan to the abolition of the general postofllco-

pnd would wonder that they ever submittedpo long and patiently to the exactions andImpositions of a system that Just now has ntighter grip upon the public than cvor be-

fore.¬

." This is said to bo the position ns-Bumecl

-by Senators Kdtnunds , Sherman ,

Hawley , Allison and leading members of thehouse., ' ! am most heartily in favor of it ," saidSenator Cuilom , of Illinois , to-day hi answerfco.a question in regard to his opinion touch-ing

¬

governmental ownership of the telegraphstot the country. "I have been in favor of agovernment telegraph for years , but ever

iijeo. I reached a conclusion on the subjectXny.timo nnd mind In the senate have been soengrossed with the intcr-Btato commerce billthat I could not go into other matters in-

frttfh) I was almost as much interested.Now , that I have that bill off my shoulders , I-

Wmll do what I can to urge a government or-Jpostal telegraph bill on the senate. If no-bpo clso will introduce n bill I will draft nndIntroduce ono myself. Yes. the subject hasbeen several times before the committee on

and post roads. I believe thatlls' have been prepared , but I do not rcmcni-r

-that one. has ever been introduced. H

possible that tlio prospect of permanentrival lines which seemed so fair when the&altimoro it Ohio company constructed itsey tein led some who were in favor of such aMeasure into a temporary condition of in-

Difference.-

. If so , there can no longer bo anyS&CUHO for Indifference. Tlio entire telegraph

ystem of the country is practically con-trolled

¬

by ono man. Telegraph communica ¬

tion js at his mercy. The business and com-mercial

¬

secrets of the whole country are nt-Siis command. Ho can send th& businessWicrmometer up or down will. It is Biirelyhigh time to take sreps toward control of the:* lC rapli system by the people. I would notattempt to bargain with Jay Gould or anyother man for the purchase of lines alreadyiruill. The government should construct itsOwn systems. It would bo advisable , I pre-sume

¬

, to place it in control of the postoftlco-nepartmcnt. . I believe the senate is fully

iady for the question and thata bill , if introduced , would

fwss without serious opposition. Inyew of the history of telegraph ownershipfc'tlic United States and in view of recent

cc'urrences , I really don't see how any onoMould show good reason why n government1J-fclejjrraph should not bo constructed ns soonls possible. But I haven'totho least doubthnttho legislation necessary for the work

fcrill ho enacted within three months. "' ' " Though Senator Cuilom is so complete aconvert to the principle of government ow-nership

¬

of the telegraph , lie in not ready to(follow the principle to its logical conclusionftnd argue also that the government that is-

Ihe people should own and operate the rall-)roads , though in some foreign countries it is-

nultfl as feasible and necessary to own the(one as the otlior. The senator's objection toownership of the railroads is that it wouldplace such n tremendous power in the hands)f n party administration to perpetuate itself.The vast army of employes necessary for thejpcratlon of n great railroad system would ,iio thinks , bo too dangerous n lover to bosafely put into the hands of the party politicsof this time. At any rale , ho thinks that thetelegraph is the present and pressing ques-tion

¬

and ono thing should bo taken at aXime.

In

( lie Commercial World.CHICAGO , Oct. ! !tt. [Siioclal Telojram to

the Bun. ] There nro very few changes tonote In local financial affairs. Quito a gooddemand existed for money from all sources ,

but there was no particular stringency , nsbankers were well supplied with loanable-funds. . Regular customers of the financialInstitutions and local borrowers in good re-

pute¬

were enabled to obtafti all the fundsasked for , yet bankers ns a rule demandedundoubted security , and loaned only on safeand wide margins. The movement of "cur-rcncy

-to the Interior was moderately free and

mainly to wheat and livestock districts.Some money was forwarded for the purposeof cribbing corn which parties have sold forMay delivery. .Inquiry for loans on behalfof operators on the board of trade vas mod-crate , but no trouble was experienced in ob-

taining¬

all the favors wanted. Shippers of-

fered¬

some short date paper , which was ac-

cepted.¬

. Lumber dealers and manufacturerswore moderate borrowers. Merchants in thewholesale trade offered considerable paperfor discount and they were readilyaccommodated. Collections are reportedgood in sections where the cropshave been secured in good condition.Rates of interest are well maintained at G}{(S7 per cent on call and 7@8 per cent on timepai cr, with very little money loaned under7 per cent. Money in rostern financial cen-tres

¬

is working easier , still there is consider-able

¬

difticulty experienced in obtaining bankfavors. Failures in commercial circles havemade bankers more cautious and they arevery indc ] >cndent with their limited funds.Foreign money markets arowithout material

'change. The balance of trade continuesin favor of this country , though it will prob-ably

¬

bo moro evenly balanced in a short time.Eastern exchange was in fair supply and thedemand was moderately active. Sales be-

tween¬

banks were made at 40@50 cents dis-count

¬

per (1,000 and tlio market closed steadyat that range. Foreign exchange was in fairrequest and the offerings were not very largo.The market ruled firmer and prices higher ,

with small sales of shippers' sixty days docu-mentary

¬

bills on London at 84BO4.80 % andclosed rather firm at 4.80 } . The New Yorkstock market has exhibited considerable ac-tivity

¬

during the week Justclosed. Money wasnot quite so close in that quarter andttie earnings of the principal railroads showedsome increase and there was less inclinationts sell stocks. Uesldcs , parties who were on-

"short" side of the market were moro in-

clined¬

to cover their contracts. These fea-tures

¬

imparted a little moro strength andstcapincss to the market and prices averagedhigncr , though they ruled irregular within asmall range. Wall street operators tradedwith considerable freedom , but outside andforeign speculators traded only moderately.Western railroads have attracted consider-able

¬

attention witli some disposition to selltheir shares , but the earnings of some of theroads that lead through the districts whichproduce largo quantities of grain and a largonumber of animals have checked the declinein prices to some extent. The sales on theNew York stock exchange for the week ag-gregated

¬

1,038,000 shares. Speculative trad-ing

¬

has improved very little in grain circlesduring the past week , but there has beenmoro activity manifested in hog products.Local operators have shown some dispositionto enlarge their speculative lines and outsldoorders have been larger both in number andquantity. The receiving and shipping branchof the trade , while not quite as activeas during the previous two or threeweeks , has shown considerable life. Interiorshippers evidently desire to forward as muchif their farm products ns possible before theclose of lake navigation , and would undoubt-edly

¬

give the Chicago market the preferencef they were enabled to obtain all the facili-ies

-

which nro promiscuously extended to-.hem at other points. While Chicago mer-

chants¬

have little to complain of, especiallyiis far ns the receiving and shipping of grainis concerned , yet those interested in tradeace inclined to the opinion that it can bo fur-ther

¬

enlarged if an united effort bo made to-tccuro( it. la fact , it is admitted that if n-

"ai go share of the farm products of the west. nn bo turned toward the Chicago marketthe speculative trade hero will bo speedilyrevived and the mercantile trade of the citybo greatly increased by the exchange ofgoods for the farm products received. It is-

lainicd; that the attention of cxK rtcrs andmerchants in foreign markets should bo es-

pecially¬

directed to the excellent quality ofgrain received hero and inspected by officialinspectors , and that it is superior tothat offered at seaboard points and whichit is surmised is mixed in many cases , al-though

¬

selling within a fraction of the bestgrades here. Millers In eastern states shouldalso understand this feature of our trade.Country shippers now have their grainweighed at the elevators here at a trifling ex-pense

¬

and this is regarded as beneficial , asthe weight is certified to by an independentpnrty. Other movements will no doubt boshortly inaugurated which will bo beneficialto the shippers of grain and the trade of-Chicago. . The matter of discriminating inthe item of freights should be investigatedand nn effort bo made to secure equal facili-ties

¬

for Chicago receivers as may bo obtainedby merchants at ether points. An effort , nodoubt , will bo made to have terminal chargesabolished , which also have been nn embargoon our trade. A reduction in storage chargesis not ono of the improbabilities , ns it ishinted that with tlio completion of the newelevators now in progress of erectionthcro will bo a scaling dowu ofstorage rates. Prices during the weekhave exhibited very little change.Freights have ruled easier , which has en-couraged

¬

a little moro buying of grain forshipment and vessels were chartered to ur-rivo.

-. Stocks of grain are gradually increas-

ing¬

, but not ns rapidly as during formerycaw. Supplies of provisions nro consider-able

¬

FATALLY STABBED.-

A

.

Cubic Line Laborer Found Cut onthe Street.

John Kelley , a laborer on the cable Hue ,

was stabbed by an unknown man this morn'-ing about 12:30: o'clock , and is thought to be-

in a critical condition. He, in company withtwo or three companions , were on the s.ldo-walk across the street from engine house No3 , when the workmen near by were attractedby 4iis screams. Hushing up to him they

.found him lying on the sidewalk with theblood gushing from a long cut on the side olhis face and two wounds in his side. In theconfusion that followed his companions worelost and nothing was learned of their Idon-

tity. . Kelley was taken to the police stationand his wounds were examined by DrRalph , but ho was in such n beastly state o1

intoxication that it was impossible to deter-mine whether the wounds would prove fatalor not. The chances , however , are againsthim. The wounds nro both in the right sidtnear the bottom of the ribs , and are aboutan Inch apart.

Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning1 a marnamed S. O'Dowoll was arrested on susplclan of having done the stabbing.-

AMUSEMENTS.-Mr.

.

. Scaulaii's Appcurnnce linst NightIn the "Irish Minstrel" nt Doyd's.-

Mr..

. Scanlau is great nelijier ns nn actornor as an Irish comedian are a dozenmen la the lower walk ot.tho profession , fromwhich adventitious circumstances raised him ,

who are capable of excelling him in boththese respects. His Irishmen , as a rule , areof the tender , sentimental , semi-poetic andmildly melo-dramatic order , who are foundonly Ui tlio fanciful sketches of fiction writersr in the plays of dramatists whoso knowl-

idgo-

of Irish characters Is picked up fromho trashy stage productions of a generation

iigo. Irish lads are not perennially roamingabout as amateur detectives , discovering lostwills , circumventing the machinations ofscoundrels nnd being rewarded by receiving ,in marriage , the daughter of the old manwhom they have saved from eviction , or thewayward son from whom they have avertedthe lightning of a father's angeron the reproach of his father's friends.Neither nro they so gifted with poesy as toreel it off with the fluency of n ballad-singer ;

nor yet BO deeply read in philosophy as togive expression on the slightest suggestion toaphorisms which would do honor to a doctorof laws. As n rule , they uro hard-working ,industrious nnd , in the main , practical fel-lows.

¬

. But Mr. Scnnlan doubtless knowsthat such i >ersonages would not enable himto smile throughout bis pieces and indulge inhis stage lovc-inakiug and sing bis songs ,

some of which arc unquestionably grateful tothe car. In so far, his work cannot bo styledat illustrating nature. It simply personifiesnn ideal , the object of which is solely to en-tertain.

¬

. Yet , the wilderness of the methodemployed is a decided improvement over tlio-bloodundthunder Bysteui used by someof his predecessors. The moro naturalof his witty remarks provoke a modest laughbut others equally witty , though made toorder by the dramatist , pass by unhonored.-Mr.

.

. Scnnlan ought , to deserve the title ofIrish comedian , which means moro than theability to sing and smile , give us ono char-acter

¬

, in his repertoire , the distinguishingfeature of which would bo manliness anddevotion with n native humor nnd wit whichwould not emanate from the play-wright.

Interesting Gossip AboutLocal Sports.

Something About Base Ball.The new western league that was supposed

to have been organized, at Kansas City amonth since was not really organized untilThursday last at Chicago. In truth there issome doubt yet as to the bona fldcncss of theenterprise. Arthur Briggs of this city wasin attendance , but nothing new has beengained in the way of information from him.The clubs from Minneapolis , St. Paul ,

Omaha , Des Moines , Kansas City , St. Louisnnd Chicago were admitted , but poor oldLincoln was rejected. Duvo Rowe , thebase bighcockalorum of the capital , waspresent to look to the interests of that city ,

but Tom Loftus of St. Louis outgeneraledhim , nnd St. Louis was given the preferenceover Lincoln. The Chicago nnd St. Louisdallies denounced the enterprise as a-

catchpenny affair which must de-

pend¬

on Sunday games for nsustenance , nnd that it is extremely proble-matical

¬

whether it will receive suilloientpatronage to keep it alive until the middle ofthe season. However , this is a little over-drawn

¬

, for with proper management theleague can bo made ono of the best payingbase ball associations in tlio country ; withoutit , its failure is a foregone conclusion.-

As.

to Omaha , thcro is literally no ballnews. The directors of the local club haveas yet failed to secure a manager and not a-

Hinglo player , unless it bo Walsh and Henley ,

nnd Messitt has even been spoken to aboutnext season. Hoekctt , the old Newark , N.-

J..

. , manager BO anxiously sought after by theOinnhas , has nlgned to take chnrgo of theSyracuse Stars next year and if they areafter anybody else , assiduous inquiry fails toreveal that fact. Dave Rowu washero Friday. They may possiblybo negotiating with him. Ho-

is n tolerably fall- ball player , but no mana-ger.

¬

. Dave thinks ho has been b.ully treatednt Lincoln and would bo pleased to como to-

Omaha. . The directors have held no meet-ings

¬

for the past three weeks , and from thegeneral aspect of affairs tlio base ball outlookfor Omaha next season does not glow withthe color of the rose. It may be , though ,

that a base ball surprise will bo sprung bo-

fora-

many weeks upon the local moguls ofthe game. It is in course of incubation , any-way

¬

, and the promise of an early batch is ex-

ceedingly¬

bright.

The New Athletic Hnll.-

Tlio.

building of the new Athletic hall Is atlast a certainty. The subscript.on forseason's tickets has been BO generously re-

sponded¬

to that the proprietors of the schemedo not hesitate to declare the enterprise n-

success. . The structure is to bo ono of themost complete in the whole country , and willcost something like Jil.OOO , furniture and all-

.It.

is something the city should have , and nilthose fond ofathlectic sports and good , sound ,

healthful exercise should attest to their ap-

preciation¬

of the affair by subscribing theirnames to the roster of membership. In-

case the national republican conven-tion

¬

is secured for Omaha thenow Athletic hall , would make an admirableplace for holding it. The building is to bo con-

structed¬

with a view of renting for lust suchpuriwscs , ns well as public meetings of allkinds , political rallies , masquerades , grandballs and tournaments. It is tlio intention tobegin work mwn tlio structure just as soonas plans and spcclllcations can bo prepared-
