THE Iowa senate , by a vote of 20 to

that the bill will not pass the house.
THE fast mail may bo a blessing in dis
guise , but it is all disguise so far aa the
Omaha newspapers are concerned. Our
Chicago exchanges continue to roaoh ua
as usual by the slow mail , about thirty
hours after publications.
F IT is high time for the registrars to pre

If the postmaster of Omaha cannot
keep the postoffico open during the night ,
because the appropriation for lighting the

We'll pay for ono box of tallow-dips.
THE woman suffragists are beginning
to appreciate the fact that money is a
power ia politics , and that if they wish to
"catch on" they must put money into
their campaigns. At the last mooting of
the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage asso
ciation , it was decided tit raise a cosh
fond of $10,000 with which to push the
suffrage work in Massachusetts thin com
ing year. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE doctor factories of St. Louis and
Chicago have just turned loose upon a
Buffering community about ono hundred
and fifty young men with diplomas , entitling -
titling them to practice medicine. Wo
have too many doctors , such as they are ,
and wo have too many medical colleges.
If nine-tenths of the young men who aim
to bo doctors would seek some other oc
cupation or learn some useful mechanical
trade they would find a more profitable
field , and the publid would bo greatly
bonofittod thereby. Many of the medi
cal colleges of this country are frauds ,
.and are responsible for the largo number
ofwould-bo doctors that are annually
turned out , the majority of whom are no
"bettor than 'quacks. ' "

noirrsr JOHN TAFFK.
The death of Hon. John Taflb removes
from the sphere of activity another man
who had taken ft very prominent part in
the history of this state. Fen men in
public life have cnjjycd a bolter reputa
tion for strict integrity and unselfish
patriotism. Coming from li's ' native
state , Indiana , where ho had boon roared
and educated as a lawyer , to Nebraska in
1850 , when the territory was only two
years old , Mr. Taflb at once took rank
among the early Bottlers as n man of
ability nnd character. Two years after
ho located in Nebraska ho was elected
from Hurt county to the lower
house of the territorial legisla
ture , and in 1800 ho was elected -
od to the territorial council as
a republican , and was chosen president
of that body. At the outbreak of the
war Mr. Taflb volunteered his service *
and was commissioned as major of the
Second Nebraska cavalry , and served for
fifteen months with that regiment. Returning -
turning from the army , Major Taffo loca
ted in Omaha and became associated with
the late Col. E. B. Taylor as editor of the
Omaha JtcvuMican. When Nebraska
was admitted as n state of the union , in
1807 , Honest John Taffo , as ho was then
called , was elected as her
first representative In the lower
house of congress , which position
ho filled with signal ability and orodit to
the state for throe terms. Alter retiring
from congress Major Taffo resumed the
editorship of the JRcpitblloan , and con
tinued in that position for nearly two
years. In 1877 ho woa appointed receiver
of the United States land office at North
I'latto , which oflico ho hold until his
death.
During his congressional career Major
Taffo was largely instrumental in secur-
the appropriations for the Omaha post-
office building and the Omaha bar
racks , now known as Fort Omaha.
To his oflorts also was duo in a great
measure the location of the army head
quarters in Omahu , Politically , from
the earliest times , Major Taffo was an
unflinching republican , and while ho al
ways adhered to the principles of that
party ho was in full sympathy with the
efforts to purify it and divorce it from the
monopoly domination. Ho was ono of
the few congressmen , who , after six
years of service , came out poorer than
ho wont in. His death will bo sincerely
mourned by a largo circle of personal
friends all over the state.
'
IT is an agreeable surprise , remarks the
Chicago Current to road in the reported
proceedings of Congress that n proposi
tion has boon made to have the funeral
orations delivered on the occasion of the
death of a congressman printed in Iho
Record without delivery. It i well to
make a beginning of reform in this mel
ancholy direction. As a matter of taste
it would bo bettor to have only ono
eulogy delivered by a congressman desig
nated by the speaker , or if a asuator is
dead , lot ono eulogy bo delivered
by a specially appointed senator. An
other needed reform is as to tkc matter
of funeral expenses of deceased members
of congress. The ordinary coat of trans
portation of a dead body from the > Atlan
tic coast to , aay , a point in the Missis-
sisaippi valley Is from thirty to forty dollars
lars by express. The transportation of
the dead body of a congressman to ouch a
point from Washington costs from &L,500
to $2,000 , and sometimes more. The ex
cessive cost is duo to the fact that a largo
party of living congressmen accompany
the corpse in a tylo _ and at a lavish expenditure
penditure- the public money whichiaro
far from being warranted either by abso-
Ititoly correct taste or by the oolomn
character of the occasion.

death of the Omaha Republican-
OTHER LANDS THAN OVII&
The stormy scenes in the Gornuvn
roiohstag over the Laskor resolution hna
culminated in an angry , but powerful
speech by Bismarck , in dcfenso of his
arbitrary course in refusing to transmit
the resolutions of condolence of the
United States house of representatives
From the autocratic standpoint which
Bismarck occupies as the chancellor of
the Gorman empire , his resentment at
being expected to act as postman , as ho
calls it , for a foreign legislature is very
natural. That the iron duke should con
descend to make a personal explanation
in solf-dcfonso to the Gorman commons ,
affords very striking evidence of an im
pending political crisis in Germany.
Bismarck never would have taken
the trouble to justify hin
own conduct in the Laakor mud
dle were it not for the fact that a po
werful combination has boon formed in
the reichstag among the factions that op
pose his policy. The now coalition between -
twoon those elements of opposition
threatens very seriously to procipitnto
a crisiswhich weald compel a dissolution
of the roichatag and an nppoal to the
people in a now election. In this pre
sent frame of mind the Gorman people ,
aa a mass , are not in sympathy with Bia-
marck and his administration. While
they cherish the most cordial and friend
ly sentiment towards America the indi-
cent assaults of tho-official newspapers of
Berlin upon Minister Sargent indicate
but too plainly that the rolationo of the
United States and Germany have reach
ed an extremely disagreeable phase.
When an arbitrary or captious govern
ment wants a quarrel with a friendly na
tion an occasion for it can bo readily
found. For speaking in complimentary
terms of the congress of the _ United
States a member of the opposition was
rebuked by the president of the parlia
ment from departing from , "tho ordora of
the day. "
There have boon many times that need
not now bo recalled when a > friendly men
tion of the government and'peoplo of this
country in the Gorman parliament would
have boon greeted with hearty applaueo
from all parties , and the president would
not have performed the ungracious task
of enforcing the orders of the-day. . But
now the United States cannot be men
tioned in the Gorman parliament'except '
in the language of protest and denuncia
tion.
Though the Sargent and the > Laskor
affairs are wholly unconnected , ' in their
origin , they have become blended to
gether , and are treated in Berlin-as sep
arate parts of ono transaction. Minister
Sargont had brought down upon * himself
the displeasure ot the Gorman chancellor
long before the Tom Ochiltroe-repolution
reached Berlin. Taking their < hint from
the government , the official organs ao-
cuaod our minister of improper interfer
ence with the pork quoation , and they
wont so far as to charge that
ho had provided the arguments
and statistics for the speeches in-
parliament condemning the nation-of the
government in prohibiting the importa
tion of pork. The transmission of the-
Laakor resolution of congress to Chan
cellor Bismarck furnished a now < oppor *
tunity to the government organs for de
nouncing the American minister. For
this proper act they accused him of gross
ignorance of diplomatic observances--and
loudly insisted that this government
ought to put in his place some one pos
sessing acquaintance with the duties of
the position. The organs of 'Bismarck '
have now entered upon a systematic
warfare upon Minister Sargent , ' with the
evident design of compelling hinitto re
sign his poet or of cons trailing his .gQV
ornment to call him homo.
The assurance of Bismarck- that ho
'
entertains the moat friendly feelings for
this country may bo taken for what it is
worth. Tho. effect of his grjoat speech
upon the reichstag will bo watched with
intore&t on both sides of tlio Atlantic.- .

The combined ndvanco of the French
upon Bacnlnh , under the command of
General Millet lias boon successful.
Cable advices from Tonquin report that
the fortress at Uatminh has fallen into
tiio lianda of the FrRiich , with but very
little Joss. The victoiy was duo mainly
to an adroit flank movement , which was
entirely unexpected 077 the part of the
Chineso. No report Ina ynt boon re
ceived aa to the number slain on cither
aide , or the fnto of the ircrn'aun , which
consisted of 7,000 Anaciito soldiero.
Unless the French have ulterior designs
they will now rest on their liiurols , but
there is a strong probability that n war
with China will follow , reparations
for WOT on a largo acalo are gc'ng on at
the Chinese capital.
The inrpcnchmont of the minii.t\jrs of
the king of Norway before the special
court provided by the constitution of
1814 , has proceeded so far that on the
I27th ult. the prime minister was firand
guilty , was sentenced to pay a heavy
fine , and was declared to have forfeited
his place in the royal councils. His of-
fonao woa that ho had advised the king
to refuse to acknowledge the validity of
the law to amend the national constitu'
tion , although this had boon passed by
the national parliament the number of
times required by the conatitution itself.
Aa King Oacar heartily as
sented to the * views < of the con
servative ministry , if , indeed , ho
did not originate them , the * decision may
bo said , to bo the condemnation of the
monarch rather than of the minister. A a the
court was constituted with aa much of a
loaning toward the royal authority as was
possible , it may bo assumed that its de
cision ia a finality. If King ; Oscar is a
man of good sonao and does not wish to
drive hia very independent Nbrwegiana
into something like a revolt , ho- will ac-
quicaco in this decision from thto * highest
tribunal known to the law , and1 will ac
cept the amendments to the constitution
as valid. Unhappily ho has not'jhown
much good sense throughout the- whole
affair , and it is quite possible that'lto will
renew the struggle at the first , opportu
nity. _
It ia quite certain that some kind'of an
agreement has boon reached bet ° peen
Germany , Austria-Hungary and Rwsaia
which ia expected to insure permanent
peace among the empires , and to enable
them to disponaa with armaments onthe
long frontier which divides the Teuton
'from ' the Slav. Aa Russia and not the
'Teutonic ' ompiiea might have boon ex
pected to act as th aggresser in caso-of
war , it ia not unnatural to suppoao that
this now move is dictated by her inter
ests in the Eutr and is welcomed by th *
ether two powers aa a release from the
necessity of military prepara
tions * undw which their rev
aourcos are staggering. The
, 'allianco ' moana no peed to England in
any case ; but the Gorman newspapers
probably are but practising upon her
fe&n when they represent it s meant to-
resist ; her commercial supremacy in tho.
whole eastern hemisphere. Russia evi
dently ia quite ready to toke advantage
of England s embarrassments in the Sou-
| dan to carry out in Central Asia plans
.which . would have boon too dangerous in
.othcp circumstaneea > So she tore up the

knows hiorighta and darcr maintain them ,
inaiatod en'tho ' full payraont required
by law. Hon. Brown rafosed , and in
justification thereof presented a request
which putook very muh > off an order
from Laad Commissiocaci Ifendall to
Treasurer Gtalmm , that 'the additional
interest bo-ovorlooked in-'Bio-wa'a case.
The official1 in the plain brisk- , capital of
the county ' refused to atknowledgo any
right in the- official in t-i * ornamental
atone capitol of the slate to--interferein
the matter.
HON.1UKOVi'N WAXED W U.aOTT ,
and it ia understood ho will-cndsaror to
Ijavo the attorney general aid-'him in , do-
.aiding their- the treasurer- ' accept the
amount tendered. The great i questions
are "Why should Commisoionor J ondall
interfere in iheae matters ? V/hy alexnld

n < aa to toy great extesty nnd < iJ cote
what extent-nnd whence luBxcomponsa-
{ ion , if any there bo for saeh'ezt ? olfi-
cial duty ? " . ' GJho general opinion , ia that
hohaa dirc-aied many of the-trea jureis
throughout the state to omit the collec
tion-of thia interest , although'the law ox-
preeely - commands it. Real estate men
here , who have land interests oQ over
Nebraska , aay they n < ivor were called up-
on-to-complf * with tlio psoviaioEi of the
statute.except in Cedar county. Hon.
Brown exp urahia ; poaitcni. by stating
that a Mr.iSitoldon , of this -cityIioa been
relieved f-tho pay me nt of-this compound
interest on. ohool lands , w-hioh he owna
in anothepiioouaty , and all'Uhrouch ' the

( Brown ) cansittercd that he should enjoy

Certainly &e- should . but it i may bo an
unJortunaio thing 'Jov Hojidall that he
over attempted to dc > this interest busi

1 In an event it will cauae qu t a little
commotion i among the county-.treasurors
