It says tliat $5,000,000 vrotild fill the Paxton liouso rotunda with flolitl silver dollars , and it maintains that if our improvements amounted to81,000 , 000 that would bo largo enough , Wo have given an itemized atniomcnt of public improvements showing that the sum of § 052,900 was paid for paving , grading and sewerage , ever $500,000 for atcr works extension , gas extension , gns works , street railway extensions , the bolt linu and bridges , culverts and grading of tlio Bmlington fc Missouri , Union Pocilic , and Cfncngo , Omaha & St. Paul within the city , Wo publish in the supplement a statement ehowing that the cum uf $2 , 000,000 was spent In bunding ? , the naraos of Iho parties bolng given , and wo state further that 7-13 buildings , coating below $1,500 each , together with additions aucl other improvement ! } , aggregate about $700,000 , making in oil , without the Btockyards , noirly 83,700,000 , and with the stockynrdo over § 4,000,000. When this nmount ia nddod to the public improvements provomonts of $1,500,000 wo have ever § 5,600,000. Thoao figures , if they were closely chocked off , would actually fall below the amount expend cd in Omaha for public 1m- improvements , because wo have not taken into account the thoimnds of dollars thai have been spent by parties for private grading and improvements , such as the raising or lowering of houses and grading of lots to conform to the changed condi tion of streets , nor have \\o given the im provements in the Union Pacific shops. As an example of stupidity , wo have only to refer tothoRepublican which paper republishes - lishes our figures but cuts down the cosl of sidewalks from § 35,000 to § 10,000. Wo venture to assort that moro than § 10OOC waa paid for walks on Douglaa and Far nam streets alone. The Barber asphalt company laid down granolithic walks on the corner of Thirteenth and Farnam , Fifteenth anl F.vrnam , Eleventh and Douglas , and asphalt walks in other lo calities , amounting to at least § 7,500. Then the widening out of the Farnam otroot walks fronrjalxtoon to twenty feel compelled an expenditure of between 34,000 and5,000. Besides all this wo have had stone , asphalt and other walks on Hartley , Dodge , Thirteenth , 'Sixteenth aud ether streets , coating at least § 10- 000. Thin loaves only about § 15,000 for wooden walks in all parts of the city , to make up our total estimate of § 35,000. The next tlmo the "Smart Alacka" of nl- logod Omaha novrspapora carp about our figures they had better learn something about the irmtter. ACCORDING to liradslrcet's there were 11GOO mercantile failures in the Unltcc Statoa daring the yo r 1884 , the total liabilities footing np $240,000 , and the aasota amounting to $130,000,000. The only ynar that cDinoa cny where near 1881 in the number end amount o ; failurca is 1870 , during which there wore 10,500 failures with an aggregate liablllt ] of.$234,000,000. The percentage of assets to liabilities is greater in 1884 than it any of the preceding years , being now 5f percent , against 47 per cent in 1881 and4 ! ) percent in 1879. The total number of bank failures daring the year has been 121 ; the total number of bank failure in 1883 was fortyfiyo. The greatest mortality was among tlio private banks , which contributed seventy-seven to the whole number. There were eleven aav lugs banks , twcnty-tvro atato banks , ant cloven national binko among thu failures of 1881. There is an increase- ever 188J in each class. It in not n very pleaaln ] or encouraging fact that moro than half sixty-Devon out of 121 , of the bank fall urea of this year are attributable to spec ulatlon , direct or indirect , by bankers o by thoao upon whom they were dopeu dent. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Parliament Will reconvene next woo' and the struggle between the common and liouso of lords over the redistribution bill will bo renewed with an oarnestnca on both sides that promises to becom intensely interesting , The general 1m prcssion is that a compromise will be ci footed between the contending force that will 4 insure its ratification coupled with concessions which Mr Gladstone has agreed to make throng ! his party. At present Gladstone and hi ministry have moro to fear from th hopeless division among their own adhor horonts than they have from iho torioa The factional conflict within tin libcra party ia becoming moro dangerous to it aupromacy every day , and Us mission a the dominant power may be ended muc sooner than waa expected. Never before has Macanlay'a maxim that compromise is the essence of politic had such a significant illustration aa lu the negotiations between the loaders o the two great parties on the principle and doUlla of the redistribution bill There has boon , indeed , no more curiou spectacle than the sitting down togothe in ono small room in Downing street o champions , whom , as Lord Roaobory wit tlly suggested in a recent speech at Llv erpool , Salisbury Plain would not have contained a month before without sorlou risk of bloodshed That Mr. Gladston and Sir Stafford Norihcoto should have boon willing to confer on the subject , I not very surprising ; for the minister hac repeatedly avowed his readiness to listen to any suggestions from the conservative loaders , and so far aa possible to meo their wishes , and Sir Stafford Northcok has never been an .extremist. But it is not easy to see what pressure could h vu forced a loader BO impetuous ea Lore Salisbury to come into an agreement The result hsa been a compromise Involv ing Issues so complicated and far reach- lag that no ono in England pretends to forecast its immediate eilecta , and much leas tp predict those of the futnro. It ia certain , however , that thla compromise his produced a much better bill than either party alone could have drawn or rlcould h vo carried through parliament. It ii bused on principles with which we are perfectly familiar In thu country , and which have etoxl success fully the test of experience. There are at the present tlmo n few ess than three millions of registered rotors in England , Scotland and Wales. To this number the franchlso bill adds bent two millions. Solorgo im addition o the legal voters would 1)3 in itself Ittlo short of a peaceful revolution. But t la insignificant , in comparison with the hanges which will bo effected by thu re * distribution bill. Of these the least Ira- lortant is the increase In the size of the louse of commons , which ia already ab- urdly largo. Since the union of Great Jrltnin and Ireland the houno has num- erod 053 niombors , but , lu conscqnonco f disfranchisomonta and susponslona , the actual nunilur of sitting mombora at > resent is GiO. Under the now bill ho homo will consist of 070 members , wolvo additional mombora having boon ; ivcn to Sootland. I3y ether provisions of the bill , boroughs are disfranchised or reduced iu the number of their toprc- lontativoa to such nn extent as to place 1(50 ( seats at the disposal of the house , or seventeen moro than carao under the operation of the reform bill of 1832. Df these seats ninety-six will bo given .0 tbo counties , thereby increasing the county representation to nearly that cx- out , and sixty-four to the largo towns. London will have Cfty-uino members , nstcad " of twenty-two na at present , and "Liverpool nine , Instead of three ; jlasgow and Birmingham will bo raised from three each to seven each ; Manchester Trill bo raised from three to six , and Looda from three to five ; nnd Edinburgh , Dublin , Belfast and Bristol will have their representation doubled. Still moro important are the swooping away of the three-cornered constituen cies an ingenious but not very wise planter tor securing minority representation and the Introduction of the system of ilnglo representative districts. The latter ! a ao entirely In accordance with our American theories and practice that it would scarcely ooom possible that any ono could seriously object to the single district system. Two views may bo taken of the proaont excitement in Germany ever what is termed the affront offered by the rclchs- ; og to Bismarck. Ono may bollovo that the German people are really indignant it the acta of their representatives , and that the refusal of the popular majority to comply with the demand of the chan- seller for thn creation of a second direc torship in the ministry of foreign affairs was , In fact , on unjustifiable Insult to aim ; or , on the other hand , ono may comp to qulto au opposite conclusion. Biamarck , it must bo remembered , ia not sentimental. Ho is the moat thor oughly practical diplomatist and astute politician of his day. To his enemies , whether at homo or abroad , ho is a dan- porous man to deal with. His success is 1 in : a largo degree duo to his ability to fi Foresee what will bo the shrewdest ma nmuvres i : of his adversaries before they conceive them , and to turn them to LIs own beat advantage. In the present In stance , then , it Is manifestly unfair to him to suppose that the recent stubborn ness of the relchstag was unforeseen by him , or that ho was unprepared to meet defeat , and by a master's stroke to turn it i into victory. Lot the facts in the case speak for themselves. With the late elections came the clear est proofs that the government con trolled only a minority in the now 1a Reichstag. It vraa certain from the out set that nltramontauoB , soclaliats ana the ether elemonto , hostile by nature to the chancellor's policy , would bo able and willing to defeat Bismarck in critical junctures. 1j j At least two parliamentary divisions 1c on important points showed thla t fact soon after the Reichstag opened its sessions. What was to bo done ? To dissolve at once , without a popular Itsuo , or at least ono moro popular than these known at the election just completed , would but insure renewed triumph for political on emlos already flushed with victories at the polls and in the forum. A rallying cry was needed , and a cry Bismarck has made. Ho asked for a minor concession , the creation of an office , which , if pro posed without noise , would probably have boon granted. But ho chose to make an extraordinary appeal for it , to cast him- soil and his political reputation Into the scale , and to make an appeal BO passionate - ate that Intense interest centered in the vote to follow. The opposition was in an awkward predicament. If they compiled with the chancellor's request , they seemed to yield to Ida eloquence ana authority ; If they refused , they seemed factious and bent on offandinc ; the oldest servant of the empire. Perhaps they erred In choosing the latter alternative. After events will show. But for the present , at least , Prlnco Bismarck can claim to have been abused , slighted , almost in sulted , and this position ho atoopa to tako. From ono end of Germany to the ether there appears tp bo a general uprising of opinion in his favor , due to the spread of the belief that ho is a mar tyr to prejudice. We say "appears" ; perhaps , in view of Bismarck's admitted aptitude for Intrigue , It is not nnceesary to defend the use of lifts doubting word. The stir in tbo Ger man press , the passing about of papers for signatures , and of the hat for contri butions , has about it the air of a prearranged ranged "spontaneity" such aa Americans of a Biamarckian cast of character have have boon known to contrive in the years before preelJoatlal contests. In short , either the Gorman people have taken leave of their usual senses , or olsu the present reaction in favor of Biamarck la nn extremely clover ploco of political en ginoerlng. The now issue in Europe , that of colonz&tion , la absorbing the beat ability of the greatest statesmen , and is engen dering fooling among the several powers. Biamark has entered into it with a vim that startles thn ether states. A Ger man colony has been planted at Angra Pcquna , on the West African coast , and a amp of coaat from 2G latitude ( o Capo Prio haa been secured. Biamarck ha also promoted the Congo Conferences ud evidently intenda to bo a weighty 'actor in the development of the Congo region. But his moat audacious and brilliant stroke of genius has been the annexation of a portion of New Guinea and aomo of the adjacent hlande.l The Australian dependencies of Eng land desired the aecuremont of Now Guinea to England , and sent a color sergeant there to ralso iho Ihg and formally take possession of the inland. Lord Derby repudiated thla action as irregular , but finally permitted a per tion of the island to bo ( bus taken. The fear was that France would step in and eciza it , and ao prove & menace to Australia. But now that Germany has planted hertelf tber * , tha danger ia even rcater. Thus the colonizing energy iaplayed ia already leading to comptt- cations. The rebels against the khedive in the east of the Soudan have bsen bestirring thormolros to some purpose , and their achieve aionls , fts reported from Snaklm throw an additional lustre on Oiman Dlgna's generalship in contrast with the fntllo throats of the M hdl. The Qadcn * dowas , the chief Bedouin tribe of the lied Sea coast , have routed the Boui Amor trlbo whlln the latter were endeav oring to relieve Kaaaolin , nnd a force of rebels have fallen upon the loyal guardi ans cf the llowoynb gait mince , 300 miles north of the Kassaia nnd 100 miles np the sea from Sukkim , killing many of them , and taking posses sion of the mines , while the sur vivors are making their way to Sunkim by boats. , This is o evil omen for the prltlsh campaign , which is now in fact 'practically ' defeated before it is begun. Gordon is safe in Khartoum , negatively safe , but Wolsolay In unlikely to got to him , and the allies of the British and faithful subj eels of the khcdivo nmgot- ting ondly punished with no ono near to help. The Abyssinian nlllanco negotiated by Gen , Howott was expected to protect the Boni Amor , but It was as weak a hope as atjy of the others. It is significant of the unhappy condi tion of Spain that the officials of Madrid ore worrying ihonuelvcB over n minor that Don Carlos , who is now at Bombay , Is to bo Riven a series of receptions by the Roman Caiholcs of India. In almost any ether country such welcomes would scarcely bo thought of A second tlmo ; but the Spaniards are honestly fearful that attentions paid to the Bourbon pretender will precipitate revolution in the Basque provinces. The fact Is that Spain Is in n wretched plight. Discontent and the spirit of rebellion ore rlfo everywhere , and the authorities do not know at what moment It may break forth into active resistance. Yet , like the great empire at the opposite end of Europe , Spain hugs the delusion that the , moro the people cry out the moro violently should their Biamarck ia ronortod as saying recently tnat Russia can derive nothing but Nihil ism from Europe , and that her true mis sion ia in Asia , where she can "play the role of a civilizing power. " England Lhlnks that this Is her mission , too , and inner nor proaont excited utato she will bo apt to see In this utterance pvon better evidence - donco of Bismarck's sinister purpose to weaken Brillah influence In every poaai bio way. Indeed , aho had already taken anddon alarm at the fact that the triple alliance was for the peace of Europe - rope only , and "said nothing about Aala ; " and she haa been half Inclined to bo- Hove that Germany would not bo avoreo to seeing Russia extend her Asiatic do main to thu southeast. The Cuban patriotsin thla country are upon the eve of Bom jaotlvo ! movement ; there is a good deal of the bustle of preparation among thornand in southern Florida there appears to bo positive ex citement , ns though something haa been done , 01 ia to bo accomplished. Meanwhile - while in Cuba there is a scurrying of troops aup a general activity among the authorities ; and the various rumors sot afloat would indicate that there had been aomo sort of revolt amonpc the govern < meut soldlory which the officials are on deavorlng to conceal , and that revolu tionists nro beginning to appear on the northwest coast , In the neighborhood of Matanzaa. If BO , they are probably the advance guard of a largo party headed by Gen. Gomez. THE RUBAI , NEW YOIIKER In discussing the question of railway legislation and the rodnction of tariffs , says : All indications point to the probability of legislation against railroad abuses in several of the/western states during the coming winterand ; ! while all acknowl edge the necessity for it , It is to be hoped that the lessons of the granger legislation nearly a year ago , will teach that moder ation which alone can make legislation permanently beneficial. The battloagnlnat the railroads begins well with two judi cial decisions just rendered againat their abuses. On Friday , December 12 , the supreme court of West Virginia asserted the absolute constitutional right of the state legislature to regulatopaasonger one freight charges In spite of any stipulation in the charter of any railroad , and on tbo following day , Saturday , December 13 , the supreme court cf Ohio denied the right of a railroad to make discriminat ing rates. Several decisions of this tenor in ether states , tairen in connection with some recent judgments of the supreme court of the United States , are striking indications that railroad greed and domi nation are likely ore long to bo curbed.

But other precautions are necessaryi with out which no amount of Sanitation can avail. Dr. Koch says that cholera has but little chance among those who keep the digestive organs and the liver , skin and kidneys ( the sewers of the body ) in healthful operation. Warner's SAFE Remedies are the best scien tific Curatives and Preventives , and we cannot tooemuch emphasize the importance of using thorn now , as a safeguard against any future scourge Much "of the common ailments are caused , not primarily by bad blood , but by IMPAIRED LIVER AND KIDNEYS. This results in blood corruption and injury to the entire system. Remove this impaired action , and most ordinary ailments will disappear. Other practitioners have held that extreme liver and kidney disorders are incur able. We , however , by the severest tests , have unanswerably proved the contrary. Please note : FIRST. WE DO NOT CURE EVERY KNOWN DISEASE FROM ONE BOTTLE. Warner's Safe Remedies are specifics , which have been successively put upon the market ONLY IN OBEDIENCE TO STRONG PUBLIC DEMAND. These remedies are : Warner's SAFE Cure , for kidney , liver , bladder and blood disorders , General debility , Impoteney , gravel , female irregularities ; Warner's Safe Diabetes Cure , for Diabetes the only known specific ; Warner's Safe Rheumatic Cure for Rheumatism , Neuralgia ; Warner's Safe Pills for- constipation , diarrhoea , biliousness ; Warner's Safe Nervine for nervous disorders ; Warner's Safe Throatine for Asthma , catarrh ; Warner's Tippecanoe for all stomach derangements.

THIRD.-After six years of unequalled exper ience , We give these unqualified guarantees : GUARANTEE I. That Warner's Safe Remedies are pure , harmless , effective. GUARANTEE II. That the Testimonials used by us , so far as we know , are bona Tide , , with a forfeit of $5,000 for proof to the contrary. GUARANTEE III.--That Warner's Safe Remedies are NOT MERELY TEMPORARY , BUT PERMANENT , IN THEIR CURATIVE EFFECTS AND WILL SUS TAIN EVERY CLAIM,0 IF USED SUFFICIENTLY AND PRECISELY AS DIRECTED.1 FOURTH. Special inquiry among hundreds of our oldest patients results in unequivocal testimony that the cures wrought six , five , four and three years ago , were PERMANENT. And most of these Patients were pronounced INCURA BLE when they began Warner's Safe Remedies.
