Tho wife of Hon. Clmmpion S. 0 liase,
ox-nmyor of Omaha, died, last week.
Tlio postage on tlio daily and weekly
Chicago ntcr Ocean for tlio year end
ing Juno :50th, 1881, amounted to $10,
OoO.uO. That on tho Chicago daily and
weekly Tribune amounted to $4,r09.14.
It is gratifying to kirow, as it argues
well for tlio good sense of the people,
that a good paper has about four times
tlio circulation of a "cranky" unrcliablo
one.
President Arthur is perhaps tlio
most methodical man of business who
has occupied the Executive chair for
a quarter of a century. Iln under
stands the entire business of tlio Exe-
cutivo Mansion, dictates replies to all
important letters received, and is so
thoroughly conversant with tho facts
involved in important questions
brought boforo him as to surprise those
who call to enlighten him. Inter

om
Kegardi'ng .tlio efforts of the anti
teinporanco power to render impotent
tlio hitherto strong arm of John H.
Finch in lighting for tomperauco and
prohibition, the Weekly Tribune vory
truly says:
2so man or woman has done for tem
perance in thio State what John IJ.
Finch has done. In tho bitterest fight
he has always been in the front, and the
liquor power of Nebraska fear him us
they fear no other man. Kver true,
ever brave, ever able. Tho liquor men
have tried every way to ruin Inm. know
ing that his overthrow would mean the
defeat of tlio temperance work for
years. Tho Juniata traitors have un
dertaken to do what tho liquor power
thus far have failed to do. To see our
great leader stabbed anil assailed by
such villainies is enough to make every
loyal templar who has fought under his
banner venture his life in defense of
tho one we all love.
Among the candidates for secretary
of tlio Statu Hoard of Agriculture, are
the names' of suclr'Uioif Tfs FUrnas,
Walker ami Wheeler. Lincoln Demo
crat. Tho fitness of tlio first named cannot
be questioned; his zeal in tho promo
tion of agriculture in tlio State is not
excelled, if equalled; his long service
and willingness to servo in whatever
capacity ho lias been called, amongst
agricultural men, give him a meritori
ous prominence, shared by wo may
safely say no one; his unselfish lavish
of time and money in developing the
possibilities of Nebraska's soil and cli
mate, in the many years a quarter of
a century wo may suy which devel
oped possibilities have been the chief
motive power in drawing hither two
hundred thousand devotees of agricul
ture and its kindred branches, surely
should bo sulliciont for a cordial in
dorsement to tho position of Secretary
of tlio State Hoard.
Gen. Grant lias recently carofully
read all the papers and evidence in the
case of Gen Fit' John Porter, and
come to tlio conclusion that injustice
was done the latter in tho findings of
tho court-martial that a proper weigh
ing and construction of the evidence
should have acquitted him. Gen.
Grant said, "For nineteen years I havo
boliove.1 tho finding of tho court-martial
was a just ono, but now 1 seo that
I ain in error," and ho expresses regret
that for twelve years while ho was
geneial of thoarmy and President he
had power to do (Jen. Portor justice
and did not do it. The eminence of
tho military gontlemon who composed
tliocourt-martial.and Grant's unlimited
confidence in their ability to render a
fair decision, was doubtless the reason
why he did not review tho findings of
tho court as critically when the case
was officially boforo him, as he has
now done at tho urgent request of Gen.
Porter, llosays under the circum
stances, lie will do all ho can to remove
tho odium and disgrace which has so
long attached to Gen. Portor by reason
of tho conviction by that court-martial.
That is tlio best thing yet heard in
favor of Gen. Porter; and tlio more
opinion of Giant will cause a sudden
revolution of feeling favorable to him,
rolioving him at oneo of odium in tlio
minds of many pooplo. What a grand
old hero is General Grant. If he wore
other than tho groat soulod, candid,
honest man, his stalwart friends know
him to bo, ho would havo esteomed it a
wookness to acknowledge that he had
been mistakon in an important matter
for nineteen years. A man as small as
the most of Grant's traducera would
havo become so prejudiced toward an
opinion ontortained for nineteen years,
as to render them incapable of seeing
and acknowledging an error.
Explosion of Pivo Hnndrod Koguof Powder,
Oskaloosa, la., January '..An ox
plosion occurred at 4 o'clock this utter
noon, whereby 600 kegs of powder, the
property of tho American Powder
company, went up in terrific force.
The explosion was caused by somo boys
using tho wooden magazine as a target
for a breach loading rifle. Three boys
Phillips, son of tho mayor, Gerald
Joyce and John Steadinan were the
boys engaged in tho target exercise,
and were all instantly killed, being
fearfully mangled and burned. They
were carried from fifty to two hundred
yards from the magazine and mutilated
beyond recognition. Nearly all the
plate glass fronts in tho business quar
ter of tho city wero wrecked, while
houses in the northern part of the city
suffered severely. The damage is not
less than 920.000. Many persons were
injured by falling glass antJ debris. The
shock was felt thirty miles from the
scene of the explosion.
It appears that tho boys used the
powder magazine as a tagart, the wea
pon being a breech-loading rifle, which
tho mayor had drawn at a ralle. They
had also another gun. The boys were
seen to shoot at the building from a
short distance, then go up to seo tho
result. Afterward they fired another
shot nnd then came tho explosion.
The body cj" young Phillips was found
fifty yards down the hill, Ids clothing
nearly all gone. The back portion of
the head' was carried away, and the
body was otherwise horribly mangled.
John Sto.id'inan was blown through a
wire fence one hundred yauls away
and fearfully torn. Gerald Joyce was
found in a creek ono hundred and fifty
yards away, with his head almost com
pletely gone. The boys had been warn
ed to quit. The damage to the city is
very great. Most of the houses of" the
north half of Oskaloosa are badly
wrecked; doors, windows and wood
work are broken; stables were com
pletely wrecked, chimneys toppled and
fines crackedy. from top to bottom.
Wreck of plate glass on the principal
streets of the city is nearly complete
and cannot be covered by ft'lO.OOO. The
powder was owned by the American
powder company of Huston, about llvo
hundred kegs.

CiiKUOo.Jontiury 6. Tho Railwun
Alio has a recapitulation of the known
foreclosure sales of railways in tho
United States the past year, Which
w ere twenty-nine roads, with ati ag
gregate mileage of 2. tin miles and an-
parent Investment of 9rt, 278,000 in
capital stock and $70,0in,000 be ntls and
other indebtedness, making a vast to
tal of 9128,000.000 sold during 1881 to
wind up their long outstanding obliga
tions. These figures will surprise and.
discourage many who believed tlio era
of railway foreclosures was past be
cause of the prosperity of tlio country;
but the bankruptcy" of these roads
commenced years ago, ami they havo
been dragging along the slow legal pro
cesses over since. TI)o settlements

It is suggested that eastern delega

The emigration from Europe to .tho
lTnited States has been greater this
year than ever before. Tho number
that arrived at the city of Now York'
alone from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1 1 was4l,120,
an increase of 112,804 over last yoilr in
tlio same po'riod.Tho Coniinissipncrs of
Immigration estimate that, these immi
grants paid 92,500,000 for inland trans
portation, and brought, with them bo
sides about 90,000,000. Of course'
many who gave their destination as
Now York only remain there a short
iimo. afterward going inland. A largor
number have gone to the Southwest
this year than heretofore, but, as usual,
tho great majority came to tlio wostern
states. Tho largest numbor, 451,410,
camo to Illinois, and at least one-half,
of them settled in Chicago, or in this
vicinity. Pennsylvania received next
largest numbor, :MI,745; and 15,701 went,

520 to Iowa. 17.088 to Miohiimn. fi.i'.u .,
