THE DAILY BEE. B. B03EWATEB ; EDITOB OKAKOE JTTDD la one of the most prominent candidates for the commie- eloner of agriculture. BILL MAHONE IB the modern politi cal will o * the tnap. Now you nee him and now you don't BBB him and you csn't tell on which side the little joker ifl going to vote. EI-SEKATOE PADDOCK wants a for eign mission. It will be remembered that the ex-senator offered. General Van VTvck a foreign mUalon to with draw from the late senatorial contest GHABLES A. DANA thinks the new administration already a failure. 'Mr. Dana will never acknowledge the auo cess of any administration which fails to secure him that collectonhip of the port of New York. DAVID DAVIS has thrown his two hundred and fifty pounds on the dem ocratic side of the senatorial "teeter. " BlU.Mahone Isn't as heavy but his rote weighs just as-much , EX-BEKATOB HAIILIN- , having seen his name mentioned in connection with a commission to visit Mexico , for the pnrposa of revising existing trea ties with that country , says he would not accept the honor , as he Is going to retire to private life and enjoy the remainder of his days free from public cares. SENATOB CONKUKO Is very outspoken - spoken In MB advocacy of an extra Bession. * He says no party can go to the people in the fall elections upon Hyes' veto of the funding bill , or stand as , tha apparent advocate of monopoli6s againBtr a proposition to save the government $1,000,000 monthly and fund the debt at 3 per cent. - " TEE German government Is becom ing uneasy over the continued emigra tion of Its subjects to America and every obstacle , except an absolute pro- hltlon of-emigration , is being imposed by the authorities to check the tide which is draining the empire of BO large a portion of her available re sources. Notwithstanding the strong efforts of the government , the tide of emigration from Germany to the Uni ted States , during the first two months of the present year , has been unprace- depted in our history. The arrivals at * the port of New York from the German provinces aggregate from 3000 to 5000 a week and are constant ly Increasing. On the 9th of the pre sent month over 1000 landed at Oastle " fe" Garden and local papers say that whole villages in Fosen and Schleswig are migrating to America. Unlike some other countries , notably Italy , those who are coming are mostly of the bet ter class of farmers , laborers and me chanics , who bring with them sufficient means and sufficient experience to guarantee their success and to add to the resources and wealth of thalr new homes. The greater portion oome armed with certificates from agents representing western states or rail- roadn and upon their arrival go direct ly to their destination. THE late vice president is said to have remarked with emphasis to a friend that the position of head clerk In one of the departments of the gov ernment carried with it more weight than the presidency of the senate and vice presidency of the United States. John Adams dubbed the vice presidency the most insignificant office under the sun , Hannibal Ham- lin complained that its acceptance helved him for four of the mest eventful years of America's political history , and the annoyances attending the performance of Its inconsequential duties are said to have hastened the death of the late Henry Wilson. The vice president of the United States Is only important in his poisibilities. He can neither vote in his party cau cuses In the senate or make his voice heard on Important questions of pub lic policy. He must be absent from the executive sessions of the senate , and ofen his position of presiding officer is BO circumscribed by prece dent that its duties are of little mo ment. The only opportunity through which the vice-president can rise above his obscurity to public notice , lies in the death of the chief execu tive. How slight this chance is , may be seen from the fact that of nine teen presidents of the United States only three have died in office. General Arthur will hardly labor under the disadvantages of his prede cessor. The political constitution of r the Senate is BO peculiar aud Its forces BO evenly balanced that his vote will probably ba required upon every im portant political Issue which arises. The coming week will witness a lively contest for the control of the senate orgtnizition , and if Senator Mahone , of Virginia , unites with the republi can minority , tha question of tie vice president's power to vote upon the composition of the senatorial committees will tin- nndonbtedly be questioned. Under the provisions of the constitution the rico-prrsidout has no vote unless tha is aonate is equally divided. The right of the presiding officer to break a tie upon legislative questions has never been questioned but serious dispute has heretofore arisen over his consti tutional power to cast a deciding vote upon questions of "confirming appoint ments , electing officers and other nut ters outside of tne regular debates of the senate. Vice-President Wheeler P three years ago settled * the question , so far aa he was concerned , and established Bt a precedent for his successors by voting ing upon the seating of Kellogg of Louisiana , when the senate was a tie. There is little doupt that , If occasion requires , Yice President Arthur will follow the precedent and exercise his constitutional prerogative , OB this account , for the first time the adoption of the constitution , vice presidency becomes an active and i important political force In national . affairs. ' ' - s BAIjTHIOEE ON MONOPOIJES. | There is no doubt that public opin ion is rapidly crystalizing upon the monopoly question and the force la already beginning to make itself felt In railroad circles. Three presidents of railroads have recently felt com pelled to answer personally aome of the complaints made against railway management in this country and all three have met with foemen worthy of their steel In the replies which their letters have elicited. But the strong- eat remonstrating , elements which the monopolies at present have to combat are the great commercial bodies of the country , which one by one are falling into the anti-monopoly ranks and expressing sentiments ot hostility to tba growing power of cor porations. This action of the New York board of trade and transporta tion in denouncing the startling ag gregation of corporate powers , has been followed and seconded by the Baltimore board of trade , who voice the popular complaint In a tone no less loud or clearly defined than the commercial interests of the great me tropolis of America. When we see , says the address of the board , the steady and determined encroachments upon the rights of the people , the shutting out of legltLnate competition , which , at present , is the only safeguard ; the wielding of a power and influence which , if not checked by legislation , will soon govern Instead of being governed , there Is in all this , real cause for alarm. The board holds that the * recent consolidation of the several telegraph companies of the country is merely an advance step in the direction of increasing and perpetuating a gigantic monopoly , and recommends that the question , which is closely allied to that of the railroads , be referred to a committee from both houses of the congress to investigate and report pro tective laws , if In the judgment of such committee the same ba neces- nary. It declares that every interest of production , trade and commerce demand a rigid investigation of this pernicious tendency of the times wliich Is turning a democratic govern ment Into an aristocracy of wealth , the rulers of which -know no law ex cepting that of their own personal ag grandizement. These sentiments are not the ex pressions of political demagogues or crazed fanatics. They are the calm de liberate utterances of business men who are themselves more or less capitalists and on that account virtually inter ested In the preservation of social and political prosperity and the mainten ance of law and order. That bodies ao notedly conservative as the New York and Baltimore boards of trade should feel compelled to voice a demand mand which three years ago was de nounced by capitalists 'as dangerous In the extreme , indicates the rapid formation of a public sen timent which can neither bo ridiculed or threatened out of exist ence. The demand fer state and na tional regulation of corporate monop olies is confined to no one section of the country. From the west , the movement has rapidly made its way eastward until the commercial--inter ests of the Atlantic seaboard are now voicing the remonstrances and second ing the appeals of the producers of the valleys of the Missouri and Mississip pi. It will be well if the rail roads read the handwriting on the walL A tlmo of retribution is coming when the wrongs of the people will be backed by the volca of the nation , which will make itselFfelt atthe polls and In the halls of congress. A CHIEF ENGINEER. THE BEE does not desire to lose the present opportunity of Baying a word in regard to a subject of such impor tance to the city as the appointmen of Its chief engineer which will come up early in April. Thus far no action has been taken by the city council on the resignation of the present efficient chief , John J. Galligan , and yes terday's disaster points very conclu sively to what that action should be. It la due to the good judgment and excellent management of the present chief that Omaha did not lose one of . her finest blocks and have another | soot in the heart of the city left a Hack and ugly mass of ruins. The rl Insurance men and the business men of L the cfty almost without exception unite in the desire that Mr. Galligan aball be kept in his present position , and that his salary shall be increased to a rewonable amount. The refusal to do this may cause a loss at any mo ment that will be irreparable. With Mr. Galligan at the head of our noble department we shad at all times feel secure from the ravages -of the fire demon , whenever auch security is pos sible from human hands. Tan loss of four ( lives in Denver , by the fall of the walls of a building under process of construction , is a warning to all cities which fall to pro vide for a proper supervision of all edifices erected within the corporate limits. In past years Omaha has seen flimsy brick sheila built upon her streets whose continued existence one of those miracles which entire fall of explanation. A LAW relating to libels has passed thetWisconsinjloghlature without Jop- positionand is now pending In the leg islature of Illinois and Missouri "It provides that when a newspaper shall , upon the information of the falsity of an article appearing In its columns , publlch a correction or retraction in two ] successive numbers it shall not be liable in civil suit for actual damages auttained by the plaintiff.

Long overahlrta will be In vogue this spring. Pendant lockets are no longer fash ionable. Ball ear-rings in rolled gold are very fashionable. Poke bonnets of medium size will be worn again. Ulsteret is the new name for the new short ulster. Only one variety of flowers is used in the same hat The double women ribbon comes only in plain solid colors. Plastrons of very rich material are seen on the new baiques. High hair-dressing , In the Btyle of Louis XV. , is now la mode. Vests form a prominent feature in the new costumes for ladles. , Laca spun of straw will be a novelty on new spring and summer hats. Piano-backs give a wide scope for peacocks' feather applications. .Bonnet crowns of black net are wrought with cut-steel beads. Eiderly ladies wear neither caps nor turbans for ball dress In Paris. Gold lace , silver lace and steel lace will all be used on spring bonnets. Basques of flannel and bunting dresses are tucked all over' length- . wise. TheJHungarian jacket , covered with braiding in intricate designs , is much New basques simulate the Jersey In perfection of fit and plainness of tl feet Among the ornaments are pokeberries - berries of black , with golden stems and tendrils. Italian lace-braid hats and bonnets will be more fashionable than Eng lish straws and chips. Skirls are very narrow , bat the draperies superimposed thereon are voluminous and elaborate. { Spring dollmans are square cut in the back , of medium length , and have large elbow sleeves. A filigree 'rose , with the contra of crystal ) , on delicate filigree stamens is a beautiful decoration for the hair. Summer plush , a new gauze on which silk pile is thrown np , takes the place of the heavy pluih worn on winter bonnets. The hat destined to take the place of the rough-and-ready straws of last season is of unspllt wheat straw woven into a spiked braid. The Paris correspondent of Harper's Bazar says that white petti coats are never wore in the daytime , even with the richest dresses. A girl put on man's clothes-at Richmond mend , Mo. , and went out for an eve ning walk , in the course of which she rudely jostled a ( negro , who shot her twice. She declares that hereafter she will stick to the safety of skirts. Wool fabrics In general have almost entirely superseded other materials for morning wear here and abroad. Ex pensive India cashmeres are even made up for evening wear by leading Parisian houses. In the year 1880 America issued seventy patents to women ; and not one of these was an indicator to be attached to a bed-post to show If there is a man nnder the bed. And yet think how much getting down on hands and knees such a thing would save women. , "That reminds me of the cars we were waiting for this morning , " re marked Jones , as en elderly lady swept by them in a trailing dress. "How's that ! " asked Fog ? . ' 'Because it's a train behind time , " replied Jones , the great , mean , ugly thlngl "You old vulture , yon ! " ahe ex- dlnary woman. Next day , when he relented and told her to go down and order the eighth , it would have made an angel smile to hear her sweetly call him " " "Birdie. The wife of a congressman having been abroad said to a gentleman : "I'm splendid on pictures ; I'm a regular common sewer of art. More and over , when I play whist I play third and hand high. In France they have lots of francs and sardines for money. But I've traveled and feel a little blase. That's French. It/s a regular language , is French.

Potter , is en gaged to marry Mr. Leslie Cotton , of Wyoming Territory. An old bachelor who died recently " left a will dividing all his property equally among the surviving women who had refused him. "Because , " " said he , ' 'to them I owe all my earthly happiness. " Jenkins reports that Miss Tennie Mills , the financee of Whltelaw Eeid , is of medium height , graceful and well-rounded figure , with clear com plexion , light hair , largo clear eyes set tn gold-rimmed glasses , and a dowry of § 300,000. , p Austin Molarty went home to his wife at Putnam , Conn. , and told her that if he was not mistaken he bad on the previous day been married to Phoebe Brown at Providence. He had a dim recollection of going with some friends to a clergyman's house while drunK and becoming the bride groom in a marriage ceremony. His memory proved sound , for an officer soon arrived with a warrant to arrest him , but his wife by strategy enabled him to escape to Canada. [ The approaching marriage of Mile. Croizette I and the wealthy banker Stern ' is announced. He marries her , to says i the Paris correspondent of The London ij j Daily News , to enable her to quit the stage , and 'above all , to pro-I re vent her following the example of I bara Bernhardt and starring Ameri ca. Mile. Croizette will remain at the Francaii while the Princess of Bag dad , in which she has achieved her I great theatrical success , remains on the playbills. A minister out in the fr west , who has been troubled a good deal over marriage fees , issued the following I circular and price list : "One mar I riage : , plain , ? 2 ; ditto , kissing the bride , § 3 ; ditto , trimmed with one groomsman and one bridesmaid , § 4 ; 50 cents extra for each additional groomsman and bridesmaid.

The University of Michigan has over 1,500 students. Thirty-five Q.si states are represented , besides Eng land , Canada , Prussia , Japan and the Bermudas. The bequest of Mr. David P. Smith , of Springfield , Mass. , to Yale college Is expected to yield $40,000 or $50- 000. It is to be used to endow a pro fessorship. The Illinois legislature has passed a compulsory education act requiring all children between 8 and 14 years of age to attend school at least twelve weeks in each school year. The western states from , Ohio to Nebraska , including Missouri , spend $36,292,492 annually on education , and the southern states from Virginia to Texas spend § 8,763,972. The school population of the western states is 5,590,075 , of the southern 4,490,107. Professor E. D. Sanborn has been an Instructor in Dartmouth college .for 35 years , and is now nearly 80 years of age. Hia health has recently fail ed bomewhat , and it is feared that he will soon be compelled to discontinue his services as teacher. There is reported to be a movement among some of the colleges to substi tute Monday for a holiday Instead of Saturday. It is claimed that better recitations would thus be secured for the first school day of the week , and that the temptation to study on Sun day would be removed. The Texas legislature Is now con. sidering a plan for providing school money by leasing the public school lands no lease to be for a longer term than a year , and not for a less sum than $12.80 a section. This plan also makes it a mbdemeanor to graze cat tle on unleased school lands a thing which has long been done. The new institution at Cleveland Is to take the name of the college which is to be removed thence , and will be known as "Western Reserve Univers ity. " The new college , which is to be founded by Mr. Amasa Stone as an important part of the university , is to be called "Adelbert College , " in memory of the son of-the founder , who died in the promise of a brilliant youth. It is proposed to use the present buildings of the Western Re serve college at Hudson as & prepara tory school for the university/ RELIGIOUS NoTES. Rev.

In some provinces of Belgium the Catholics are more prosperous than the state schools. In the province of tlI Limbourg there are 24,000 pupils in the Catholic schools and only 5,030 in those of the state. There are in the United 'Stales 230,257 Hebrew * , of whom 12,546 are connected with 278 religions societies or congregations. In the city of Phil adelphia there are eighty of these con gregations , with a membership of 1458 , and in addition there are eighteen be nevolent ( organizations , embracing a membership of 2035. Since 1877 the number of churches itii the UnUersallst denomination has increased 'from ' 656 ( to 739 , and the membership from 32,947 to 38.048 , while the value of church property has meanwhile shrunk from $7,495- 495 ! to $6,267,092.

Thurlow Weed moves to improve the grammar of the Lord's Prayer by striking out "which art" from the in troductory clause , and to substitute "Give us day by day our daily bread" for "Give us this day our daily bread , " as being more appropriate for evening devotions.

"Stranger , have yer got some bltln' whisky , But bin' that takes the Innards right by the collar , and makes a man think he's br'illn' fer an hour after wards ? " asked a gentleman in a but ternut suit and a coon-skin cap , at a fashionable Brooklyn bar yesterday. "I think I've got what you want , " said the barkeeper. "Try this. " The stranger smelled it and shook his head dolefully. "Do yer think this -would make a man dig up his dead enemies and lick 'em over again ? " he asked. "Would a slug of this pizen get a fellow to in duce his mother to murder his wife , and then run for sheriff , so as to hang the old woman for the crime ? " "I don't know about that"said the barkeeper , "It's a pretty strong fluid. " "I know. But is It strong enough to make a man rob his own daughter and , then lick the daylights out of her for losin * her money ] Would it be what yon would nae if you wanted to salt your wife down and deal her out in a boarding house for boned turkey , extra prime ? Would yon drink It If you felt like burning down a church full of children so aa to get the nails out of their boots ? That's the kind 'of liquor I want" "Here's some terribly bad whiskey , if that's what you're after , " said the barkeeper , putting out another bottle. Again- the stranger smelled and shook his head sadly. "I'm surprised at yer , barkeeper. Yer don't understand t he finer feelin's. I want snlhin' that would make me rob the contribution box of an orphan asylum. Suthin' that would make me kick a sick woman overboard and pound her with a board afterwards. I want liquor that makes a man bury his mother alive and plow her under for a fertilizer. Suthia' that would make a man set his children to steal- in' so ho could give 'em away and get witnesses' fees for convicting 'em. Have yer got anything of that sort ? " "That's the worst I've got , " said the horrified barkeeper. "Yon can take it or leave it. " "The facts is , " explained the stranger , aa he poured down half a pint of the material without a shud der , "the facts is , that I live In Da kota , and I was feelln' homesick. Sti I thought If I could only got a taste of the genuine old stuff , It would raise my spirits. But that isn't the whisky I wanted. This makes me feel like lenctin' money , and : It don't do no good.
