TZ-tE BLAINE-SALISBURY COR- RESPONDENCE. I titer t-ean. 10v y American citizen who has tht bono;- ,jf his country at he iit nlut takt solid r mfort in the rejection tl.at .la:ne; O. U: ine is the present secretary of state. How ver hitter a man's partisan prejudice- my be, he can not, if he be a gen nine , triot. fail to note with satisfaction the M ,hly favorable light in which the Unit States is made to appear in the Blam -Salisbury correspondence ovci tho l iiriag sea controversy . Even t; f Eij -.'i press does not claim the con trary, and one London paper which stoni'v defends Salisbury's position h-is the 4 1 .nkness to concede that Jlr. Blaiaf ha si'.iwn himself veiy much the super iw of rhe British premier. Tlie demo crat h- press, for the most part, concedes thnt. e secretary's course is to be ap prove , rather than otherwise.

An English edition of the Ladies Home ol j-mncy. ... ' T i : k hrl,mi,t nnt- ; T.inr. Tf. -ineetions at issue are very simple ( and in fact resolve themselves ir:t' this one: "By what authority does Great Britain claim new any rights in J'.ehiing sea which were n -ver claimed or exercis ed in the satin waters until 18hi' Dur ing the entire period of Kuhsiau owner ship of Alasku unit then during the per iod subsequent to our purclnse, down to' tin; date mentioned, the riirht maintained by 31 r. Blaine was mt questioned or in frintfed'uoon l)v Eucrland or any other 4 J - power. It is really a misnomer to call those waters the 'Uehrinir Sea.' The old term, Behring Straits, is far more appro pria'e. Mr. Blaine presses this question but Salisbuay evades it, falling back up on the general denial of the right of this country to treat these waters as a 4closed sea." The truth is that in order to justify the high handed outrage of cer tain Canadian ships the British govern ment was obliged to fall back upon that generalization. If Secretary Bayard had been equal to the emergency of four years ago he would have secured a prompt Mrrprtion of the wrontr. but. finding a putty man in charge of the state depart ment, the British foreign office sustained the Canadian depredators in the evident hope of being able to close out the mat ter during the Bayard regime. Failing in this, the contention is for arbitration when in point of fact there is nothing to arbitrate. "Mk. Blaine,1' says "The London Chronicle," "proves himself an abler man in controversy than Lord Salisbury, al though having a worse case to defend. 'he representative of England seem mere babies in the hands of Mr. Blaine.'' When the Samoan treaty was made, the German press made remarks precisely similar to these. The Bismarcks, they said, with the better end of the case, had got the worse end of the bargain. These are the views that Americans read in the foreign newspapers as to their dis tinguished secretary. They only dis cover how feeble and ineffectual he is when they look at him through the wise spectacles of an American mugwump. The worst blow struck at the democrats yet h the onj congress is now considering which prohibits the carrying in the mans of lottery circulars and tickets, lists of drawings, money or drafts for the pur chase of lottery advertisements or draw ings. The needs of a comprehensive law on the subject has become increas ingly apparent of late, and the proposed measure seems to cover the ground satis factorily. If enacted and scrupulously enforced, it will strike a serious, if not m rtftl. blow at the lottery business. Without access to the public through the mails tiie lottery can have only a feeble and precarious existence. The causa of good morals demands the passage of ueh a law. While the public debt is decreasing j i:; the United States the reverse process is u;ider way in Canada. In 1807, at the line of the establishment of the Domin iu: its debt amounted to $22 per head of the population, and that of the United St tcs ?82 per head. Today the United States debt, on the sunt basis, is about $15, and that of the Dominion $4S. That i3 to say, while the per captia indebted ness of the United States is only a quart er as great as it was twenty-three years ico, Canada's is more than twice as large as it was then. The steady and rapid in crease in the burdens of the people is one of the principal causes of the great growth in nnnexation sentiment in the Dominion. TV the United States, howeyer, this debt xpansien makes the acquisition of Can ada less desirable than formerly. The editor sat in his hard bottom chair trying to think a thought. He plougneci his grim fingers through his hair but not a new topic they brought. He'd written on temperance, tariff, and trade, and the prospects of raising a crop, till his read ers had warned him to stop; and weary of thinking sleep came to his eyes, as he )i) lowed his head on his desk, when iwake and refused to arise, came in drops, tud were strange and grotesque. And as the ideas airly float he selects the bright one of the tribe, and this i3 the gem while dreaming he wrote: "Now is the time to subscribe." Ex. Lv 1861 the democratic party turned the government over to republicans. Its reasury was empty, its bonds 20 percent discount, half its public property was stolen, and the nation's vessels scattered the four winds. The republican party egan and fought the greatest serits of Kittles of the century, paid the cost, re- t- red prosperity, pensior. ed the soldiers. rvr.K'urated a financial policy and a iirivrcv second to none in the world. iYd-iy the United States stands respected by the nations of the globe.

The danger to any of our industries iu Ixing dependent upon the foreign mar ket alone is forcibly culled to mind by the threat to King Cotton himself con tained in tho following paragraph cl;p- ni'd from the Meniohis Industrie Ke- - - . view: The cultivation of cotton in Russia is constantly assuming larger proportions The cotton manufacturers of certain sec tions of Russia are buying large quanti ties of American cotton seed, and givinc it out to farmers for cultivation. The industry of cotton raising is being taken in hand by great Russian capitalists. They claim it will yield larger dividends than any of the enterprises in which they invest their funds at present. Cotton raising is destined to become in Russia one of great national importance. Boundaries. From Tuesday's Dal'y. County Superintendent Noble was a caller at this office today, and informs us that the reason there was no exami nation held in this city the third Satur day of this month, as the law provides, he was compelled, owing to the delin quency of divers school officers in send ing in reports, to remain at home to receive them. lie was correcting the school ceDsus today of the city and th; district lying immediately south, by transferring 4." names from the city to the district, as the city had taken iu that number by extending its limits, while there had been no legal change in the boundaries of the school districts. By common consent the city had enumer ated all of school age within its limits, while at the same time the adjoining district would enumerate to its boundary line, which included a late addition to the city. The superintendent rules that the district s-hould enumerate all within its lines aud the city should not take any names within the same territory. Float Representative. From Tuesday's Daily, At 2:30 this afternoon a "special'' to this office from Nebraska City, announces the nomination of Mike Cavey for float representative for Otoe and Cass coun ties, and that Judge S'dlivan was on the road home on foot.

Today about 12 o'clock as the fast stock train was going east, some of the yard men who wer'j switching past the depot, saw Tom Riley step on the track in front of the train as if he was going to cross to the other fide, the engine struck him smashing in his right hip and crushing his head some on the left side. He was carried to the Perkins House where Dr. Livingston dressed the wounds as best he could, but pronounced him beyond all medical aid and all was done for him that could be to ease him until he breathed his last at 1:40 p. m. Wm. Neville was notified of the ac cidcut as it wes supposed he was work ing for him. but when Mr. Neville ar rived he said that the man was not working for him at present but thai he had been working for him off and on for about eleven years, that the man was a good workman when he was sober, but he would get drunk on an average of about every three weeks. lie has a brother but we could not find anyone that knew where he lived. This sad death wi'l be laid up against the railroad, as all other accidents are, but we venture to say if the man had been sober he would have been a live and well man now instead of a corpse. A. S.

Wilev Black sent out two cars of fat hogs for the Omaha market this morning, and Frank Moore andRobt. Nickles one to the same market.

Driying up to the farm and raneli of W. W. Winslow, we kindly asked for care and shelter doting tlie night, which was granted by Warren himself. Through the kindness of Master Jake, our team was soon loos ened and cared for, while we wereshown in the mausion. Supper was soon served, after which the evening was spent in talk, the main topic being agricultural pursuits. Mr. Winslow informed us he had for this year's crop 8 acers of corn, 10 acres of oats and 10 acres of wheat, besides potatoes?, garden vegtables, etc lie stated his corn was an average crop to tne best of his knowledge, although the drought injured it to some extent. His wheat and oats are well headed but short straw. He has small grain in stacks. Leaving there on the morn of the 24th we continued our journey westward to tlie Capitol where one of our strongest and most powerful conventions held in .Nebraska whs in session. We found about thrf'-fourths of the small grain in stock nnd the rest in trhoc-k, all being cut with a self-binder.
