ONE of our local pajicrs ridicules the
figures that wo have published with refer
ence to the public improvements of Omaha
during the year. 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

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

the Spaniards are honestly fearful that

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 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.

TO THE PUBLIC , GREETING :
Boards of Health are now everywhere cor
recting the faults of sewerage and advising
the people how to prevent future epidemics.
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.
SECOND.--Warner' s , Safe Remedies , spite of
all opposition , have won the victory and are
everywhere recognized as leading STANDARDS.
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.
Read a few of Thousands of examples :
ELDER JAM lib S. 1'KEbCOTT , lox ! 262 ,

S. A. GETTYS , Insurance agent , Chilli-
cothe , Ohio , in 1879 was attacked \\ith ver
tigo , which for two years and a half per
iodically affected him. lie was a chronic

\\ritingDec. . 5th , 1884 , from Kast Liv
erpool , Ohio , he said "I have never had the
least trouble since I used Warner'1 * SAI'K
Cure , which benefited me permanently. "
THK Ui.v. JAMES WAXIIAM , of La
IJorte , Ind. , in Jan. , 1882 , , used Warner's
SAIT Cure for Ilright's disease and r/ter
four months treatment sa ) s he was as well
as ever. June aSth , 1884 , he wrote , "My
health is fully restored , and I am free from
annoyance from my old complaint. "
U. II. McMICIIAEL , of Emporia , K'ans. .
in 1880 , while living nt South liend , 1m ) . ,
had inflammation of the bowels and a hard
lump formed on his right side covering
half the abdomen. Forty doctors ex
amined him , ( he treated him but gave him
no hope of cure. He lost sixty-five pounds
of flesh. Junu ist , i88 | , he began using
Warner's SAIM : Cure , 23 bottles of which
fully restored his health. July isth , 1884 ,
he wrote , "My cure is permanent. I was
a living skeleton , who was restored by the
use of Warner's SAITS Cure. "
JOHN W. MAPES , M. D. , Paris , III. , used
Warner's SAIT. Cure in 1880 and Nov.
24th , 1884 , he said " mv > kidney trouble
cured then , remains so to this day. " '
EDWIN FAY , Esq. , Davenport , Ia. , in 1881
had Ilright's disease and doctors said he
could not live six months. Dec. 4th , 1884 ,
he wrote , "Warner's SAir. Cure used as
directed , will cure any case of liright's
disease. I am now free from any kidney
"
disorder.
FIFTH.-It is no small satisfaction to us to
know that very many thousands of people owe
their life and heal th to Warner's Safe Remedies.
