ONE ol the ntrongcat objections lo
tie introduction of the postal card was
the facility it would ufl'ord malicious
persons to indulge their libellous ten-
doncit-B. The result has proved that
there was much truth in the olnirgu
und has shown tltat while the postal
card is a great conve.nienco it can ulso
bo madtfa great nuisance. Postmuv
tw GonornlJutne's has determined to
put n stop to tlio detestable piuctices
of the postal card h > cuas and has issued
an order that postmasters of receiving

REBELLIOUS LIQUOR. DEALERS -
ERS
Whom the gods wish to destroy
they first make mad. Tint maxim is
strikingly illtittintcd by the suicidal
course pursued by the Omaha liquor
deal ei s ,
When the Slocunib high license bill
VTM passed by the legislature last
winter , this community manifested its
sympathy with the liquor dealers by
condemning tlio iron-clad pnnisiona
of the now law ns needlessly exacting
and opprcssne. Had llio liquor deal
ers noted prudently nnd exhibited
moderation they would still enjoy this
sympathy. Instead of courting the
good will of liberally-disposed
people , they luuo shown n dis
position to punish them by
attempting to enforce Puritnn blue
laws upon nil classes of business men.
They say in so tnvny words lo this
community. "You must allow us to
continue the liquor trnllic in defiance
of law or wo propose to make it de
cidedly uncomfortable for you. If the
temperance nllianco or any net of
men dare to call us into court for sell
ing liquor without liconao wo propose
to atop tlio sale or delivery of milk ,
meat or ice on Sunday , nnd wo
shall put travelers who come
to Omaha Into Saturday night
to the discomfort of going without a
bath or a nhnvo Sunday. No matter
that the thermometer is up among
the ninoliov no matter how many
families arc made to suffer for the
want of fresh milk nnd moat , or how
many invalids nro cruelly tortured for
the want of ice.
.Now wo npprohond that this com
munity will soon loose palicnco with
such infernal tomfoolery , nnd the re
bellious liquor dealers will discover
before ninety days roll around that
every rcapcctablebusincsB man in Oma
ha nnd nine-tenths of our citizens will
mnko common cause ngninst them.
And when the conflict comes thatwill
test the strength of the contending
forces , it id safe to predict that the re
bellious liquor dealers oi Omaha will
como out of it worsted nt every point.
We presume the rebellious liquor
dealers nro acting on the ndviro of their
attorneys. Thuio nro n few eminent
shysters in Oumhn who would not
hesitate to ndvise these deluded men
that they can forever continue an un
lawful trafllc by lerrori/.ing nnd hnr-
rassing law-abiding people.
At the link of being denounced m a
temperance fanatic the editor of THE
BEI : vontuica to tell the lobelllous
liquor dealers a few plain ttulhs. Un
der our system of uovcrnmenl nil
laws nro in force until they nro either
ptononnced void by n supreme court
or repealed by n legislature. When
tlio Slooumb bill went into cfk-t on
the 2d of Juno it
was just us much u
law us any other law on our scatuto
books Out the Omaha liquor deal-
era took it upon themselves to declare
that this law was uneiinstitutional and
thoiufoio they infused to pay atten
tion to it unless it was declared
\nlid by the courts. They
engaged eminent lawyers to
lo mnko a test cxsc. The district
court of Judge Saviigo decided the
Inw to bo constitutional nnd they ap
pealed to the supreme com t for n final
decision. While the test cases were
pending the people of Omaha with
great turbciiruiiLo did not molest the
liquur dcalcia , although they woio
violating the law ovoiy hour of the
day. When the supiemocourt unani
mously decreed the Slocnmb law con
stitutional it bocama the duly of the
liquor donlora who had made the up-
pwil to submit mid make the best of it
nudei theciicumstancus. Hut instead
of submitting they lebulled.
First they refused , through the
monibeiti of their union who hold
seals in the council , to carry the law
mlo dlict by enacting an oidiimnco ,
ind then they , who me constantly vi-
dating law , hive Inken it upon them
selves toenfoieo the Sunday law upon
ill classes of business. Thnj nro like
the fox who lost his lull in a chicken
stealing expedition and insisted that
dl the other foxes must have their
iails out oil' . Tins ia a little too much ,
oven for the most liberal and tolerant
citizen , and wo take the liberty of
warning our rebellious liquor dealers
ngninst nil impending storm.
THE LINCOLN RAILROAD
SCHEME-
It ia possible , as TUB OMAHA HUE
says , that "Lincoln is no commercial
competitor of Oiniihn , " but it is ,
novel tholesi > , a fuct that she moans to
bo one , nnd foe that icason hits to la
bor diligently nnd intelligently. That
the tjviliy between Omaha nnd Lin-
coin In n Ic itiniato one wo admit , mid
wo hope it will remain so ; but
our wliolosulo dunlets heio know well
eintiigh that Ojnuliu wholesalers nro
akhmUhidg south of the Plattu , and
they also know ( hut the sooner it ia
stopped , the better for Lincoln's
eommi'icial prosperity , To utop it ,
our leading bihim | > iiH men huvu auen
fit to invest onu million of dolluru in
n rmlroad ; n tuilrond which will give
Lincoln n ohott cut to Chi-
cigo without going by Omaha , and
also onu to St. 1'aul and the lumber
regions. The inoplo of Ijxuwistor
"need not bo bulldozed nt all" to bo
impiessedwith the fuutthat the larger
Lincoln guts the better for Lnncasteij
nnd they ulso know that thu best way
to miikv Lincoln is
to gridiron its stir-
nmndimjB with railroads : to muku it
Ihu great rmlroad centre of Nubruskn.
Pnibideiit FifrKorald's new roads will
add much to Lincoln's prostwrity , and
will gjvu an impetus that will lend us
to thirty thoutwnd people boforu * thu
state census of 1885 ia completed. Wo
want notmcrely railroads , but wownnt
good and competing roads , nnd the 0.
& N. W. . na nlso the St. P. & M. are
such roruls.
TUB UKI : has no dcsiro to throw n
single straw in the path of Lincoln's
growth. Whatever legitimate means
arc mod lo increase the prosperity of
the capital city , or any other young
nnd yrowing city in the state , will re-
ceUo Tun IJKn'a hearty approval nnd
cordial support. Morlhan thiswhat
ever honest and fair trade competition
may exist between tlio two cities ,
although so far apart in population
nnd wealth , wo believe will bo for the
benefit of both nnd to the ndvnn-
tngo of the state nt largo ,
The opposition of this pnpcr lo the
railroid scheme which has lately been
organi/od in Lincoln , 1ms no connec
tion with Omaha or with the rivalry
which the Lincoln Jcnwcrut supposes
lo exist between the two cities. Tin ;
BIF. opposes the project because it has
for its object the building of n line of
roads on tlio people's money , with the
solo view of enriching n few specula
tors , Its protests against the proposed
railroad bccauso its construction
on the plan contemplated will
place additional morlgngcs on
every farm nnd dwelling
in Saunders and Dodge ccunlics.
This state has had enough experience
in building railroads for corporations
nnd nfterwnrds paying dividends on
their stock. THE BKK believes that
the time has como when local nid lo
railroad schemes should cease. In a
number of other states such reckless
donations of bonds by towns nnd
countica ia prohibited by law becnuso
cxporionco has shown that the prac
tice is ruinous to financial stability
nnd that the promises are broken
just as soon as the managers of
competing roads can agree upon n
pooling contract. Lincoln's business
men hnvo not seen fit to invest ono
million dollars in a railroad or oven
one-tenth or ono twentieth of that
sum. A few lawyers , bankers nnd
contractors have formed n corporation
nnd subscribed for a million of stock
on paper , which stock is to bo paid
for by tlio proceeds of bonds , which
tlicso enterprising capitalists expect lo
got as a bonus for building n road
which they intend to turn over to the
Chicago & Northwestern just aa soon
as the § 150,000 subsidy ia voted.
Aconstruction company will bo formed
of the original promoters of the road ,
and the only nutuxl investment of
capital will be the amount temporarily
advanced to the construction company
on thu bonds. If Mr. John Fitgcrald
nnd hii nssociutcs desire to build a
road to connect with the Chicago &
Northwestern , and do it with their own
money , well and good. No ono can find
fault with such n speculation. It will
K" their privilege and right , which no
journal or individual ia likely to op
pose. Nebraska wants moiorailroads
and TUB UKI : is in favor of such an
extension of our railway syotem us is
consistent with honest construction
and fair m timgomont. But Nebraska
does not want another mile of road
for whose constiuction her people will
bo compelled to mortgage their homes
and lux their industiy. And if wo
are not seriously mistaken the pro-
joclors of thu Lincoln and Fremont
railio.id will discover this fact just ns
soon as any bond ptojectis laid before
thu farmers of Saundurs and Dodge
counties. Incidentally lot us remark
that the Platte liver is not a Chinese
wall which Omaha wholesale dcdors
nro forbidden to scalo. The sectional
division north nnd south lias no exis
tence except on the map. The me
tropolis of Nobiaska has as exten
sive trafllc south of thu Platte us on
this side of that liver , nnd the lime
lias long since past when nuy road
that leads in or out of Lincoln could
bar Omaha wholesale dealers out of
the South Platte country.
Tun London Farlniijhtiy Jteiiew ,
one of thu ablest of English periodicals ,
which has for its editor the gifted
John Morley , comments nt some
length upon the assassination of thu
piesidont. Mr. Moiloy takes the
name view entertained by Mr. E. L.
Godkin in his Into aiticlo in thu
Atlantic , nnd holds that indirectly ut
least the terrible crime of July 2d hid
n political complexion Ho says ;
The Engliah-spoaking world expe
rienced n sovcro shock nt the begin
ning of July by the attempted nssas
simition of Picsidunt Garlield. The
attempt illustrates the danger of car
rying party rancor to oxtiomej n
danger of which it is quito possible
that wo may have other illustrations
nearer home. When political parti
sans peisuadu themselves that either
n picsident or a premier is the embodi
ment nf uvil , theio U always n dan
ger that BOIIIO despurato faimtio or
brooding enlhiuiast may altumpt to
mute out jiihticoby the pistol or Ihu
( ] ii Ki'r. The death of President Gar-
liuld would have placed Vice-Presi
dent Aithur in the niiHidentiul chair ,
and Mr. Aithur being a Conklin ite ,
Gmteau's ciime , if successful , would
ha\i > fUoctid ns gieat a displacement
of political forcisas u change which
placed Lord Haitingtouin the posi
tion of Mr. Gladstone , Gniteau him
self might not have profited by it , but
Guitcan's friends and associates could
hardly have failed to secure some of
the spoils of ollico which at present
have fallen chiefly to thu friends
of Mr , Bluino. The commonplaceness -
ness of Guit can's attempt deprives -
prives it of much of the horror in
spired by the moru elaborate outrages
in Russia. Rulers have ulrays been
expoaod to such attacks aa that to
which President Gurficldao nearly full
n victim , nnd it has long been ac
cepted as n truism that no one's lifo is
safe if another is determined to sacri
fice his own in taking it. Govern
ment , nevertheless , has always gone
on. Nor has tlio personal insecurity
of the governor ever been n serious
difficulty in the way of administering
the affairs of stale/ Considering the
Antipathy which oven thu most popu
lar rulers must excite nt limci in the
breasts of Rome of their subjects , the
marvel is not thai attempts to assassi

seldom succeed.
TUB DEMVEU JVctw has again elim
inated its odd column , and resumed
provincial proportions , The Omaha
Jlciald is the pnty newspaper
west of the Missouri which can con
tinuously sustain n seven column
quarto of the size nnd diameter of
those published in the Inr o cities.
But then the Herald' * ciiculntion
nnd business is equal lo the combined
circulation nnd business of any two of
its contemporaries between the lakes
and the Pacific. As the recognized
organ of the democratic party of four
stales , and which neither suppresses
its opinions nor leaves ils politics in
doubt , the Herald obtains a palronago
which enables it to tnako its pace en
tirely too rapid for its ambilious con
temporaries in the west. Omahulltf'

aid.For
For sublime check and dolibcrato
imposture the Omaha Herald is with
out a rival , not only in four stales ,
but on the whole American continent ,
In the first place the Jlcrnkl is not
the only newspaper west of the Mis
souri which can continuously sustain
a seven-column metropolitan quarto ;
in fact the Herald has never yet con
tinuously or in single mynbcrs pub
lished n seven-column metropolitan
quarto , becaiiBO only four of the eight
pages of that sheet have been any
somblaiico of a newspaper. The re
maining half of the "great paper" has
nt no time brcn anything more than
n more patent medicine poster , with
twoJ three columns ot patent plates.
In the next place , the great paper
that claims to represent the democracy
of four states , and whoso circulation
and business beats that of any two of
its con temporal ies , has never dared to
publish a sworn statement of its cir
culation.
Even allowing all that ilioHexild
claims through the American News
paper Dhcctory , which crcc'its the
Ho aid , on its own report , nt
less than 2,000 weeklies nnd the
same number of dailies , TICK BEE
circulates moro than five limes as
many weeklies and nearly three times
as many dailies as thu Herald. In
Omaha whore the Herald ought to
have such influence , Tin : 13tu bus
four times as many subscribers aa the
JJo aid. But thu inflated boaster will
continue to impose on ciedulous
dupes by claiming to publish the only
metropolitan paper west of the Mis
souri.
Groundless FOOTS.
New York i\ciilnj : Pout.
The prccaiioiis condition of Presi
dent G.ufield duiing the past few
days has again caused people to ask
themselves what is likely to happen
to the common weal in the event of
his death. While no ono can point
out any particular harm to matciial
interests as either a necessary or a
piobablo consequence ot the fatal ter
mination of lna illness , theio is so
goncialnn appiehcnsion of something
baneful to the body politic that busi-
neai shrinks as before u coming blast ,
and men go to their daily vocations
with a vague sense of approaching
calamity something over and above
the sorrow which touches the heart
some unexplained fear which beclouds
thu mind and gives n deeper hue to
uur nympatliy for the sufuning ciiief
magistrate. Yet presidents have died
in olliuo before. Once this calamity
overtook us in the midst of the gio.U-
est commotion of the century , with
n million of men under arms , with n
public debt neatly double its present
proportions , and with problims of un
known magnitude , both political nnd
financial , to be solved in thu crucible
of nniveiH d sullinge.
The peidons who then succeeded lethe
the powers and duties of the presi
dent was ; i nun of imperfect educa
tion and stubborn temper , u-aiudin
the midst of slavery , and though bema
a freeman , yet born to most of thu
social disabilities which appertain to
the condition of slavery , lie was neb
desliluto of patiiotism , bub this
phrase , ns ho nndeistood it , meant
anything ulsu llinn government ac
cording to thu wishes of the mvjorily
constitutionally uxpioBscd. llo soon
jound himself without n patty either
in congress or out of it , and his want
of tr lining , and the badness of his
early surroundings , prevented him
f 10111 gaining or creating one. Instead
of accepting the situation ho defied it.
Instead of accommodating himself to
facts he lluow himself against them
and was in a political sense dashed in
pieces , lie not only ruined himself
but nil those , fuw in number , who
adhered to him. Even Mr. Seward ,
who enteied otlico at the begin
ning of the war with a
larger political capital than any
other man of his time , cama out
\\ithscucelyany personal following ,
Appatontry oveiy evil thing that
could hippo i as a consequence of the
president's death did happen , The
"ship of state' ' was sailing three years
or moro in ono direction , ulnlo thu
"man at tlio helm'1 was steeling in
another diiection. In short , the
wout ftars of everybody were moro
than UMluud. Nevertheless thecoun-
try prospered during the whole of An-
diow Johnson's administration even
while ho was Bunder impeachment.
That impeachment trial , by the wayr
was pin haps as euvoie n test of our
institutions ns they had over under
gone in time of peace. The country
prospered through it nil , and thu pub
lic debt was reduced by honest pay
ment , although the president recom
mended in a solemn message to con
gress that the wholn of it bo repudi
ated at thi end of sixteen and ouo-
half years ' . # * ' - '
Looking at ilio paat wo uavo no oc
casion for despondency , oven , though
our worst fears as regards President
Oarficld are realised. There is noth
ing in the present condition of the
country that can be called critical , na
compared with llio situation in J8G5.
Nor ha\o wo any reason lo suppose
that Mr. Arthur would fail lo appre
ciate the responsibilities of bis office ,
and the duties he would owe to n people
ple so lamentably bereft of the presi
dent of their choice. There is moro
reason lo apprehend that tlio confi
dence necessary to a successful ndmin-
iJtralion would be withheld from him
without much reference to his own
merits and capabilities ; in oilier
woids , lhat ho would not have n fn'r
chance. _ Ho would enter upon his
oflico with a nation of tears. His
first salutation would bo almost
universal regret that ho was there
at nil. His immediate friends would
be looked upon by many as n faction
seeking to make profit out of a ( stu
pendous public calamity. His ene
mies would arm themselves with the
general belief. The utmost conserva
tism on his part would bo necessary
to waid ofl the most unjust asper
sions. Circumstances have conspired
to put him in a hostile nltitudo to
ward President Gnrfield or rather ,
having put himself in such an atti
tude , circumstances have conspired to
put this fact in a conspicuous light
and to make it moro irksome for him
than for any former Vice-President
to undertake the duties of the higher
oflico. His pathway would boa thorny
ono nt beat and could only bo made
tolerable by keeping himself as nearly
within the lines marked out by Pres
ident Gnrfield as circumstances might
permit
'NNo believe that thpso tacts will
have duo weight w ith him. Ho is as
dificrcnl from Anurow Johnson in
temperament and training as the cir
cumstances of the country nro differ
ent from those of Andrew Johnson's
timo. Ho is a man of education as
well ns of nfiairs , of an amiable and
yielding disposition , And bunco moro
likely to bo impressed with the respon
sibilities of his now station nnd the
fatality through which it fell to his
lot than a person of narrow mind nnd
headstrong temper would bo. The
duly of Iho people to him in the
oventof President Gnrfiold's dea'hwill
bo no loss imperative and binding than
his duty to them. Ho will bo
entitled to the foibcaranco and confi
dence duo to one who has neither
sought nor expected the presidential
office , but who assumes it in obedience
to law and tinder very trying circum
stances. Mourn as all may nnd nnibt
for our elected chief if ho be lost , the
country has still higher claims upon
us. To see that the republic receives
no detriment in the first command laid
upon every citizen. Tin ) Sobriety nnd
reasoimbleiKEs which carried us
through the crisis of n disputed presi
dency will not fail us in the emergen
cy now so painfully apprehended. In
deed , tlicro would bo no occasion for
these words but for Iho loinj , lin or-
ing strain upon public fooling which
has pioduced a morbid and unwar
ranted apprehension of evils which
nobody can define , but which manifest
themselves in the haunts of traffic as
well as in the walks of social lifo , nnd
are felt the moro keenly , perhaps , be
cause they iuo undcfinnblu.
The Presidential Succession.
The constitution of the United
Slates authoii/.ca Congress to piovldo
by law for the case of lemoval , death ,
resignation or inability both ot thu
and and de-
president vice-president to -
elno what officer shall then act as
president. Under that constitutional
provision. Countess in 1702 provided
that the order of succession to the
presidency in cases of vacancies such
as have been cnumciated , should be :
first , the president of tie senate ; or ,
if theio should bo none , then the
speaker of the house uf repiesonta-
liyes. But either ono ot thcso of
ficials is only authorised to net until a
president can be elected. The mode
of election of president in such con
tingency is thus described in the re
vised statutes of the United States :
SEC. 117. Whenever the offices of
president and vice president both be
come vacant , the secretary of state
shall foithwith cause n notification
thereof to bo madii to the executive of
every state , and shall also cause thu
same to bo published in at least ono of
the newspapers printed in each slate.
SKU. 118. Tlio notificati n tdiall
specify that electors of a president and
vice president of the United States
shall be appointed or chosen in thu
several stales , as follows :
Firat If there shall bo the spice
of two months yet to ensue between
the dale of such notification and thu
( list Wednesday in December then
next ensuing , such notification shall
specify that tlio electoia shall be up
pointed or chosen within thuty four
itajH piecuding such first Wednesday
in December.
Second If there shall not bo the
space of two months between the date
of Hiich notification and such first
Wednesday in December , and if thu
term for which thu president and
Vice picflident last in oflico woto elec
ted will not expire on Iho third day of
March next ensuing , the notification
shall specify that the electors shall bo
appointed or chosen within thirty-
four days preceding the first Wednes
day in December in the year next en
suing , But if thoio shall not bo the
space of tw o months botw oou Iho dale
of such notification and the first
Wednesday in December ensuing and
if the term tor which the president
and vice president last in ollico weio
elected will expire on the third day of
March next ensuing , thu notification
sha'l ' not iipocify that electors are to
bo appointed or chosen ,
SEO , 119 , Electors appointed or
chosen upon Iho notification pres
cribed Hy the preceding section shall
incut and give their \otea upon thu
first Wednesday of December speci
fied in the notification ,
It will bo seen by the constitutional
ami statutory provisions wo have
quoted , that in case the presidency
and vice-presidency becomes vacant ,
the piesident of the aonato or thu
speaker of the house would net as
pnjiidont only for the time which
might intervene between the occur-
unco of tin vacancy and an election
by the people. As a matter of fuct ,
there is ut present no president pro
torn , of the senate nor speaker of the
house of representatives , the aonato
during its late extra ncssion ha\ing
failed to elect a presiding officer , and
the house not having met since the
qomiiKjncernent of his congressional
term , has no speaker.
