THE city council of Kansas City re minds na somewhat of the old-time Omn ha councils. The other night the mayo of Kontaa City sank in the name of i successor to the present city engineer aud n lively row ensued. The prosldon of the council caned a reporter for report ting hla speech of a few night ago , and the reporter retaliate ! by knocking the president clear ont o hts chair. Peace was not restored untl the police put in an appearance. DON CAMPION has sold h's ' house h Washington for § 00,000. It coat bin § 50,000. The profit ivaa too hrgo fo him to decline , and ho will try hla lucl building another. The purchaser ia D P. Morgan , ono of the syndicate o brokers who spend every winter In Wash ington when congress Ia in session , am there conduct their speculations In stock that nro especially affected by congros eional action which they are enabled t < gain a knowledge of in advance. THE recent fire In a Cincinnati factor ] dottroyed fifteen lives because there won no firo-OBcapos on the building The aa < lesson Inaght by this criminal ncgllgonci should bo heeded by the authorities o every city. Every building over threi stories high , in which walking mon ant women are employed , should bo sappliec with Crc-oecapcs. There is an ordlnanci in Omaha requiting oil hotels over tw < ntorlce , nnd certain other buildings , tc lave firO'Cecapes. Wo believe that tin ordinance has been cheerfully compact with , and that quite a number of four am five story buildings have been proteclct In this way. The Ohlricuhua Apaches have brokci away from their reservation again am nro now out on on expedition of murdoi and robbery. Already they have Idllcc quite a number of Bottlers. These are the Bamo Indians who were brought into the rcsotvallcn two years ago after having been on the war path and killed a larrji number of persons , among whom were the McOomaa family. General Creel Interposed in their behalf , and no pnn < iahment whatever was given them. Hie ovursa at that tlmo was regarded aa alto gether too lenient , and it was predicted as a conacquonco that theaa Indians would consider the government as of but slight importance. Had they been oven lightly punished , they would probably not now have gone on the war path. The San Francisco Call thinks that the omission to make aa example of their leaders waa bad onough.bnt to feed them at tbo public expense In forglvcnets of their outrages was still worse. 11. M. T. HUNTKU , who haaboen ap pointed collector of customs at the little Virginia town of Tapp hannock , with an Insignificant salary attachment of less than $1,000 a year , was oncc a very prominent man. Of late years ho baa passed almost entirely from public no tice , but when the democracy csmo into power again ho was araeng the mom- bads that were roturrectod and given now llfo by appointment to oflico. Hit name when It appeared among the lot of appointments teemed rather familiar , and Inquiry establishes the fact that he la the same R. M. T. Hunter who foity yean ago was apoaker of the house of representatives , and was afterwards a United States senate. Ho earvcd In the sennto until July , 1861 , when ho was expelled on the charge of participating In the rebellion. Ho waa secretary of fllalo for the confederacy and a member of the confederate senate. After the war ho waa clouted trcaturer of the state of Virginia , and retired from that office In 1880. Mr. Hunter is 70 years old , and la card to bo very thankful for the email office that haa been given him. GOVERNOR VS. AUDITOR. Auditor Brown , of Iowa , althonf considerably disfigured \ ! still In 11 ring and full of fight. On Thursday la ho [ submitted to Governor Sherman long affidavit , In which ho seeks to kcot ply with everything the governor la an ] posed to dealro pertaining to his oflic Brown tarcastlcally quotes the opinion the attorney general to show that t ! things ho ia charged with were free committed by his predecessors , Audltc Lucaa and Sherman , the present govc nor , nnd ho also reminds the govern that everything contained in the al davit could have boon obtained frc the records ia the auditor's oflt ot the timc of the cjectlo Brown declares that he has fully coi piled with the law in every roipoct ; th ho has not withhold foes belonging to tl state , and deposited $1,400 in the bai to bo subject to nny judgment the go ornor may obtain from him f such foes withheld , Brown evidently very desirous of bolng restored to hia e fico , and hla friends maintain that tl governor , under ( ho circumstances , ci do llltlo olao than reinstate him. It wou seem , however , that the fight has been little too bitter for the governor to fnv Mr. Brawn in any way at thla jnnolur oven though It would ba a matter of tit plo justice , nnd rrould tend to heal tl broach that has occurred in the ropnb ! can ranks in and around the Iowa car tal on occount of the quarrel. The D Molncs Register refuses publish Mr. Brown's affidavit , probab on account of the good showing made I Mr. Brown. The deader , a democrat paper , enyt : Mr. Brown has scored a signal victor lie has prepared n , statement which sets 01 the governor's usurpation in a manner strong and forcible that the Register Is afra to lay it before its readers. Governor She man has probably got his orders , and w ! ignore it alto. In the light of this conduct is scarcely probable that the lupremo com If called upon to pass upon the governor's a in ousting 13ro\vn , would feel that they ougl not to presume that the executho was move more by prejudice than n desire"to" fulfill h official duty. The prejudice has all the tin boon apparent to everybody occupying n le elevated place than the supreme bench. .

There ore thrc grades of licenses. The first ia fc uloona that are kept open at all houri ; ho second la for saloons for 5 o'clock i ; ho morning until 2 o'clock In the mon Ing ; and the third la for saloons ope from 5 o'clock In the morning until mid night. The first grade license requires : eo of $800 , the second a fee of $500 , an ; ho third a fee of 300. The people of Denver will find thj ; hla graded system trill prove a failure Vfo venture to say that there wl lot bo n single silconkcopc > vho will take ont the $800 llconao , an irery faw , If any , will take the § 50 Jconae. The probability Ia that ever saloon-keeper will apply for the cheapet IceuEo , at § 300 , which permits the aa conn to run from 5 a. m. until mldnighl They will take their chances on kcepin > pen longer than the law allows. W lave seen how the midnight limit work n this city , where the liquor business I anndled In pretty fair ohapo. Hardly mloon shuto up &t midnight if there I my trade ia sight , aud many of thei run nil night. So It will bo in Denvei Fheeo matters are easily arranged wit ! , ho nnthorltiea. Denver will find tha ler otandard llcouao will bo the lowec > no provided for in the ordinance , an inder that llconao the siloon-keepet \111 do as much business an ccep open just as long n hey would under the § 800 lleonto. Th ity council of Denver haa rnado a mis ake , and it will find it out to Its coat ii b very short time. Wo presume tha here are over 150 saloons In Denver , one ho revenue derived from them wil Amount to only about § 45,000 , whereas f there bed boon but ono license , am ho cost fixed at $800 , the city's incomi rom the liquor business would have beet 1120,000. The liquor llconao in Omahi i $1,000 , and Omaha now gets § 134 , 00 annual Income from the retail and rholeaale houses , which money goea tc tie support of our schools. Wo mentlor. hla well-known fact as a gentle hint tc ho DonvoritcB. It atrlkoa ns thai iloons can afford to pay $1,000 llcenac 1 Denver If they can In Omaha. There in be only ono successful license system , ad that la the ono which provides a nnl- > rm license foe covering the sale of all Inda of liquors. Thla puts everybody a an equal footing , and gives much bet- ir satisfaction than any other plan. THE preaent city charter of St. Louis mtalna a very sensible provision In re. ird to the granting of street railway anohliea. The council or assembly has te right to sell franchises to the highest dder , or as a consideration thereof , to ipoao a per capita tax on the passengerj ansportod , or an annual tax on groia colpte , Every right ao granted to con- ruct street railway shall cease unless o woik of the construction shall bo bo- in within ono year from the granting of o right , and bo continued to completion th reasonable speed. The adaption of cso provisions was caused by the fact it valuable franchises were frequently tainod not only for speculative pur ses , but without any genuine orzaniza- n or intention In connection with the tcrprlte , ani that once granted waa very difficult to get of the legal righto set up by the par * ties holding them. The principle that franchise la a valuable thing cannot I disputed , and hence the grantor corUlnl ought to receive a valuable conaldoratlo therefor. It atrlkos us tint a franehli for nny purpose that will bo profitable i the holders should bo paid for just tl eamo aa any other valuable privllcgi The franchise granted to a wntcrworV company , a gaa company , an oloctr light company , and other ontcrprlac should bo made to produce something ft the city revenue just as much as a stroi railway franchise , The tlmo is comli when no franchise will bo granted by an city without some valuable contideratlo and binding conditions. DAVID DUDLEY FIELD , after practlclr. law for a lifetime , has juat como to tli conclusion that there ia altogether tc much voibo'slty and repetition In logi documents. It ia rather Into in the dn for him to make this discovery , but eve at hia advanced ago a full confession inn bo good for the soul , In hla recent at dross at the Uulvoralty of Dalhoueli Dull far , ho certainly aimed a tollln blow at legal tautology , and it ia to t hoped that other members cf the profei slon will ondorto hla views and advocal nn early reform In this matter. The n form , as outlined by Mr , Field , can casll bo accomplished by condensation , aln pllcity and uniformity. The law rstali certain requirements long after the ori ; Inal cauao for thorn baa disappeared , nn It is full of grotesque relics of antiquity which are cumbersome and dilatory i their effect a. By way of illnatinUon Mi Field pointa out the fact tnat the "seal placed after a signature to any legal doct mont was nothing in the first place but substitute for the signature itself. It wa brought into use when few men coul write , and was the principal Inatrumeri of verification. Now the nooi for It has wholly disappeared. It ironl be inst ns reasonable to require a man t make n cress and write "hla mark" afte signing his name as It ia to demand th presence of the BOB ) . But the distinctioi is still kept up , and n piece of papa which Is worthless In itself becomes valid conveyance in some states slmpl ; by the addition of this meanlngles scrawl. There are hundreds of slmlla instances where the law has been fossil ized , and the clumsy devices of th fathers retained to plagno the childroi through many generations. It la trn that law reforms , where so much Is a stake , should proceed slowly nnd care fully. But it ia juat as Important tha they should make rational and moosnr able progress. The subject la wel worthy of careful consideration at tin handa of the American bar association. THE war on the wells in St. Louis ha resulted adversely to the property owners , who protoatod vigorous ! ; against having them closed up. Thi city authorities demonstrated , by carefu analysis , that the water from the well was poisonous , and liable at any timi not only to caneo fevers Mid other dig cases , but to encourage and promoti cholera. The city council accordingly passed an ordinance ordering all the well closed up , which would compel everybody to take water from the city waterworks , The well-owners Insisted that inrximucl as they had been drinking well water fci twenty five years , they could stand it foi twenty-five moro. They formed an aeso elation to fight the matter to the bittoi end. An injunction was sued ont , which has juat been decided in favor o ! the city. As this wn ; a teat case the filling of the welh will now proceed with at leaat the sane tion of the circuit court. The declslot upholds the validity of the ordinance under which the city authorities assumed to act. Wo presume the decision of flic court Is to the effnct that the wells , owing to the conditiou of the water , are a nuis ance , aud can therefore bo lawfully abat ed iiut aa any other nuisance. The well- owners will probably appeal to the supreme court. THE building inspection ordinance ihould bo amended so aa to Include the anllro city. It waa originally drawn with that object In view , but in order to favor lomo Influential parties It waa concluded ; o confine it to the fire limits. Tbo fact a that there have been as many largo nilldlngs created ontsido of tbo fira Imlts as within , and which certainly iced as much Inspection as any other itrnctnrea. But aalde from Inspection , hero ought to bo a permit issued for ivory building erected within the city Imlts , ao that wo could have a complete ecord aa to the number , coat , location , iharacter , and ownership of every struc- ire built during the year. This would irovo a most valuable statistical record. ) ther cltiea keep such'a record , and at he end of a year it ia no trouble to as- ertain the number of buildings com- ileted during the season and the amount iiveetedintho. tamo.

" XHK YUMAS. OharnetcrlHtlca of the Children the Colorado Desert A. Dying llnoe. At the time of the Amoriom occup tlon of California the Yumaa were to I found scattcrdo over all the desert bo toma of the Colorado nnd Its trlbntarie Keating In the warm Band of the rlvc flats , and perched on the gravelly ridgt adjacent , the children of the dcaott the reared tholr villages , throughout all tl Bandy barrens travenod by the great Re river and Its f coders ; and no ? ? locate in what la known na Arizjiia , Mcxic and California.

HorBGH for Wftrfaro , The only two great nations which co tain enough horaea within their bardi to meet all the exigencies of war or peace , are unquestionably , Rnss'u a : the United States. In hlo "Surani tour in Russia , " published In 1882 , j\l \ Antonio Gallcnga tolls ua tbnt the u wieldly empire nndortho dominion of t Great Whlto Czar , "covers one-sixth the habitable globe , while ita populati hardly exceeds that of Austria and Gi many , ita two nearest neighbors , coi blued. " Mr. Gallcuga adds that t Rev. Henry Linadcll , In a journey five months from the Thames to t mouth of the Amoor , wont over 2,0 mlles by rail , 5,700 , miles by steambo and 3,000 miles by the aid cf hotcee about 11,000 miles altogether almost in straight lino. Thla amnzing ctnpii sparsely occupied by human beingswhi ito prodigious bulk ia bortio in mln boasts poatct&ion of more lioraoa than ai other nation upon the face of the glob Gen. Sir llobsrt Wilson , who waa Britli commissioner at the headquarters < the Ruialan army during the Morca campaign in 1812 , tolls us that no tree ; in the world are better mounted or cr defend ground bolter than the Britii regulars. "Tholr artillery , " he addi "la BO well horeod and so nimbly an handily worked that It bowla ever all i regularities of surface with nn ease , Ugh noes and velocity which glvo it a groi superiority. The vivacity and nlortnoi of their cavalry and the unquolling steac Inesi of tholr infantry make it a ploaani to command thorn in extremes'alflicul ' ties ; for , as in the case with the Brills soliior , the moat unbounded confident may be reposed to uao a sailor's OJ presslon In their answer to the helm , i jvery stress of situation and under th jrentost trials. " From the same sourc ivo learn that the Firat Napoleon had wil leased with admiration the unyleldln rnlor of the Russian soldiery nnd < r cli jumstancoB the most nnpropltlous for it llsplsy and had recognized qualities am ) ropensitios which would render Russiai irmioa , when properly organized , pro imlnent in the field. "Ho had becom icqnainted with the no leca rcsolnt iharacter of the Russian peasantry md had found nothing wantiu ) vhlch art and discipline might not cup ) ly for the construction of a mllitarj orce on the moet extensive , efficient ind economical basia. " At that tlmi ho Rusilan soldlcr'a pay was not mort ban twelve shillings per annum , and hi inly ration in tlmo of peace was wate : nd rye bread baked like biscuit. Bohim ho army stands an enormous territory vlth a reserve of horsee a consldorabli iroportlon of who , It la true , not mon han pontee numbering from thlrtoei 0 fourteen million head. There is EC uore fatal error than that -which arisei rom underrating an enemy's atrongth n error which the history of the pan ) liows that , of all others , this country if ho most npt to commit. Turning to the Jnited States , wo find that not lest han cloven million of excellent horsef 1 contained at this moment within the rcjvi limits of the Union a stock upon rhlch , in combination with the equine usonrceo of the Dominion of Canada , II i probable that the war department ol his country will have to draw largelj i the event of a protracted war wltl : uch a power as that wielded by Russia , THE NOSES OF 'heir ' Effect ori the Hair and or Bonnets Oomblnlng Nature and Art , oston Budget , Befora deciding aa to the arrangomenf I the hair , the noao should bo carefully itorrogatcd. If that feature bo Roman , r what a Inarnod author clttcriblrra as cogitative" i. c.t long nnd carved In- ard toward the point the hair should 0 somewhat pronounced in Its arrango- innt.

Thla at requires a rather coquettish trrange- ont of the hair. Madonna bauds as- irt badly with a snub nooe. So does 10 Venetian coiffure , which haa boon ich a favorlto among our leithotlo phol- iz for some yoara. "A little head run- ng ever with curia" beat suits the annb , tip-tilted llKo a flower ; " and sensible omen who , perforce , wear turned up ises , will carefully abstain from follow- g the height and depth of fashionable Iffurcs , but remain faithful to the quasi mpliolty that goes ao well with the In- ntilo formation of their noses. The allly young women who have of te gone about the world with their : ads cropped as cloie as those of the iya tvlll now regret the rashness that bbed thfm of their locks , for the cato- n Is comlnc in again.

It is a plo that has ita advantages , rroro es- daily ai displaying to good effect a lit of burnished chestnut hair , which 0 proient mode , with ita tight little sket pl ltf , rather enviously conceals , it the citogau neoda a very special atnesa to commend It , and If again opted hero , aa It ia now in Paris , It II bo well for ita patrona to bear In nd that when milled ordlaarranged the eue will Icso all resemblance to the ox- Isltely neat little appendage of theme mo aa worn by our ancestors , [ t will have Its effect upon the shopo cf j fashionable bonnet if It becomes gen ii , and will necessitate a lowering of > crown at the back. Thla portion of 1 popular headgear has become of late ira smaller and tmaller ; while In half , the contrary , there U sometimes aa enormous preponderance of crown over brim. In the ahnpo known as Tom O'Shruiter this is notably the case , and there was never , perhaps , in the whole hlalory of headgear a form that moro readily londa Itself to the ridiculous than this when aeon upon any save Iho young- eat nnd freshest cf faces , A mlddlO' gd woman , with n hardsot color In her face , who ahould bo ao nltorly blind to Iho fit ness of things ( and there have been such V Instance ) as to don n Tom 0 Shnnlor , is . onoof _ these phenomena which make ono ' .i ( desire ( lie rival of sumptuary UTVS. If the style of hair dnsjing ought to bo dependent In n great degree upon the shape of the noao , that of the bonnet or list should , to bo consist ent , bo ao too. There is a very thin va riety of the tmal organ , Inclined to red ness along the ridge , which looks sharp enough to carve with , that rcqulrca ox- Iromuly delicate treatment in the matter of coiffure. The effect cf the nose Itself is painfully meagre , nnd thla uinst bo counteracted by a aort of amplitude in the arrangement of the locks nnd In the hitnmlnga of the bonnet. But then , on the oilier hand , these imut not bo too Binplo , or they will produce a con * trait to evident aa to ba prntically a reproach preach to the nose for KB thiunots. The other extreme of a very fhshy noeo de mands n ccrtilti oorotity In the bonnet ; but the outlines of the latter must not bo too rigid , ol&o they will throw Into disaqrecnblo prominence the inclination of the nose toward spread- IHR nnd width.

It la ono ol the most difficult tanks of the clever milliner to dool with n nose tbnt remains obatlnntaly rod , dcapito nil the washes and watora d&vhcd for such cases. It Is a sad thing to see n bunch of poppies in n bonnet nnd to uoto tbat their rosy tint la precisely that of the most prominent feature of the faco. Yet even this Is less slarlllng than it would bo to leave surroundings dark nnd unre lieved by color , so that too nosa , especi ally on frosty days , lighta up Iho bloom like n newly painted pillar DOX In a dingy atroot. But , fortunately , there are but comparatively few such hopeleas noses as these , though ono occasionally sees them , and regarda their owner with pity nnd perhaps mistrust.
