While he would make a good president, we think lie will not get the nomination; our choice is Al lison, of Iowa, but any good republican will do. The news from Bulgaria is favorable to Prince Ferdinand, it is to be hoped that he will be sustained and that peace may come to that interesting but depend ant country. A fire at. Lincoln came near destroy ing the St. Paul M. K. church yesterday Filliui; a gasoline stove while burning was the cause. "Will the people never learn the danger of carelessly handlingsuch t x plosives? The accounts yesterday from Ireland show a bad state of affairs in that coun try. The Mitehellstown trouble was a terrible affair it seems impossible for law and order to prevail in that beautiful but much abused island. Yesterday morning there was another serious railroad accident in which human bodies were manirled and life lost. This time it was on the Pennsylvania, and Ohio road at Peoria Ohio. More care should surely be taken by the railroads to prevent accidents. IIerr Most was not allowed to take the oath of allegiance to the United States, he made application yesterday in the superior court of New York but said he would use force againstthe athourities to secure the destruction of laws he deem ed not good and so the clerk refuse to administer the oath. Wcrkfor Republicans to Do To citizens whose politics represent their principles, the success of their party is next to the success of their private bus iness and the prosperity of their city or community. In fact, the prosperity of the state largely depends on how it is governed, hence it is a matter of great importance for all true republicans to work for the success of the party. One of the ways to aid the party is to secure subscribers for the Herald; the best way to aid the party is for every republican tojtake and pay for the Herald, and if his democratic neighbor won't take it, loan it to him. Fifty cents a month for the Daily, and one dollar and fifty cents per year for the AVEEkLY looks like very little for any republican to do, but if every republican in the city and county would take the Daily or WeeIcly Herald the success of the party in both the city and county would be assured. The mavement to secure the demo cratic presidential nominaton for Hon. A. S. Hewitt will not alarm Mr. Cleve land. So far as regards ability and fit ness, Hewitt is immeasurably the super ior. Nevertheless he has not the slight est chance of securing the prize. In his own party Cleveland is invincible. The pposition to him by a small portion of the democratic press has had the effect simply of lessening the circulation and in fluence of the journals referred to with out detracting from the popularity of the president with his party. One of these opposition newspapers the New York World discovered that fact long ago, and gladly embraced the first op portunity which offered to make its peace THE DAILY with him. The other "opposition jour nals" will aUo soon have to fall into line or cense to be considered democratic. (Jlobc Democrat. Ir is surprising what a lagc number of dwelling houses are now being erected in the different parts of the city, more than one hundred haye just been completed or are in course of erection and quite a number more are to bo built before the season ends. But this is as it should be and as on reflection we should expect it to be. Plattsmouth is one of the gate ways into the great htate of Nebraska. The people in the crowded east have heard of the broad prairies and produc tive soil of Nebraska, and many of them naturally come here to look for homes for themselves and their, children. The busy work-shops, the comfortable school houses, the numerous churches, and bus iness outlook as well as the romantic cite of Plattsmouth has induced many and will induce many more to stop with us and add to our wealth, prosperity, and attractiveness; hence the more we grow, the faster we will grow, the more we spend our money for building and beautifying homes and improving the city, the more wealth and money we will have. If in addition to what we already have, we all pull together and first secure the Missouri Pacific railroad and then secure the erection of a court house worthy of Cass county, numerous other improve ments will follow and not only Platts mouth, but Cass county and the whole state of Nebraska will be benefited there by. Much attention has been drawn to the Chinese concessions to an American syn dicate by the arrival at Washintgou of a special Chinese envoy accompanied by representatives of the syndicate. It is stated, however, that a number of im portant concessions have been formerly ratified by the Chinese government giv ing the syndicate privileges of the most extensive character, the principal of which is for the establishment) f a bank under the patronage of the imperial gov ernment with a nominal capital of s?23,- 000,000, which is to be contributed in equal porportions by Chinese and Ameri can capitalists. The bank is to be cm powered to issii'j paper currency, will be the government depository and is to fur nish the money required for the promo tion of railroad, telegraphic, industrial and mining enterprises, for which it is understood concessions on a liberal scale are also granted. In explanation of this preference shown to American financiers it is stated that the colonizing tendencies of the European nations pre eluded the Chinese government from en terin into negotiations with the finan- cial centers of Europe for the funds needed in its proposed industrial devel oncmcnt. It is stated that Li Hung Chang, the Chinese premier, and Mr. Barker of Philadelphia, the leading member of the syndicate, will be the joint executive heads of the bank, and it is understood that the detals of the or ganization as well as plans for the incep tion of active operations will at once be agreed upon between the special envoy and the American syndicate, It is, how ever, no more than proper to remark that some very unfavorable comments have been aroused in regard to the tran sastion owing to the revelation of facts of a by no means creditable nature re garding the past career of M. De Mit kiewiez, who, it seems, has been very prominent in the negotiations. Brad street. Omaha. Omaha is a large, and last growing city. There is a viaduct over many rail roads, on which wagons may go over; and at both sides of the wagon track people can walk over to the other side of the tracks. This viaduct is a very good and useful thing. The post office, is a large building made of smothe stone, and is solid and firmly built. The biidge between Council Bluffs and Omaha is a good and substantially built one. "When the wagon and foot bridges are finished on both sides, it will be a bridge worth having, worth looking at and a bridge worth going over. The Battle of Gettysburg!!, on St. Mary's Ave., is a grand thing to look at. Many people go to sec it and thousands of people have been there. The best thing in the city, is the churches of which there are all kinds, the Methodists, Presbyterian, Congregation- alist, Episcopals, Babtists, Scandinavian Babtist, Catholic and many other church es. There are many people who do not go to church who would fill the churches and five to seven more churches. The worst thing in the city is the sa loons in which intoxicating liquors are sold, and gambling houses where the peo ple gamble away their money. The gambling houses and saloons is an utter disgrace to the great rity of Omaha. Juvenile.

' dGt-w4t IIEUaLI), PLATTSMOUTH, The French Federation of 1889 There has been in progress with.'n the past six or right years in France, but par ticularly since the death wf Oambctti, a silent and peaceful internal revolution which is thecrystalization of a sound and strong republican government. Gradual ly, but surely, the great masses art tlem inating themselves from royalism and imperialism, and are falling into line, swelling the republican ranks. The transformation Iris been slow, but what revolution that ever attained its end has not been slow I "We, who are accustomed to rush with every thing; and who have enjoyed already, for more than live-score years, the bent fits of democratic institu tions, are apt to criticise too quickly the slow movements of the old countries. "We forget the obsticl rs, the deep-rooted prejudices, which centuries of king rule have almost made a portion of the peas ant's character, The peasants of France have had to be regenerated, so to speak, in this latter day, and process of the new education lias naturally been slow. It is in the light of this fact that the pres ent movement in France, called the fed eracion of 1881), is of so great interest and importance. A few days ago an appeal, signed by sixteen senators, 1G0 deputies and fifty five municipal councilors of Paris, and nearly all the republican radical press of the capital, was issued to the republicans of France. This appeal calls upon the people to unite and celebrate by a great federation the centenary of the revolution of 1780. Already both the government and private individuals arc making im mense preparations for celebrating in a magnificent manner this centenary in French history which saw the beginning of royal decadence in France. There is to be another World's Exposition, to rival, if possible, even the great exposi sion af 1878. A memorial monument, commemorative of revolution, is now being made, and will be erected that year on the site of the Tuilleries. A scries of festivities, lasting a number of days, is also projected, gathering in Paris, as far as it is possible, the populace of the prov inces. But the federation purposes no less an undertaking than the binding in t ranee, tor alt tune to come, ot the re publican form of government. "We be licve," say the singers of the appeal "that the exterior testimonials already projected would be insufficient, if not strengthened by a great movement of the minds; if the centenary, in fact, were not to be the signal the return to the traditions of the revolution, the emanci pation of thought, the rupture of all bonds, the fall of all the Bustiles, and the liberty of mankind." This declaration is pregnant with meaning. Such a demon stration as is contemplated would have an influence upon the policies of European states of no little consequence. Commit tees are being organized throughout tiie republic, and by means of the newspapers, and the public meetings, the regeneration of the masses is steadily going on. The ultimate issue of this new education must of necessity break down royalistic principles. The men who have sent out this appeal make no secret of their in tentions in starting out this movement. "We demand," they say, "the reforms so long promised to the people, the sepera tion of church and state, liberty of speech and of action, the instruction of the young, the protection of woman, gratu itous justice, progressive taxes, aud final ly, the equality of all before military service. We wish to reconstruct that great party of true pstriots ready to sacrifice all for the defense of France and the idea of the revolution." The close student of European affairs must already have perceived the unmis takable drift, in many of the nations of the continent, to .yards republicanism There is restlessness everywhere. More freedom and less centralization is the cry of all. The government for the people, not for the aristocracy. Itily, Spain and other countries are eager for a republic. Who knows but what this federation of the French departments might be the spark to kindle anew the latent republi can spirit of those nations? Thus far the French republic has rather been looked upon as an experiment than an established form of government. But if the people of Europe were once con vinced of its permanency, not a few would be tempted to follow its example. The reconciiiat-oa of the French peasent to a republican government has been un avoidable slow. The present system of public schools has done much' to edu cate them; the proposed federation, if successfully carried out, can not fail to complete the work. That done, the re public in France is as ccriain a fact as the United States of America. Glole Democrat. State Fair Notice.

An American girl, daughter of Ogden Bradley, of New York, and niece of Bishop Neely, of Maine, lias Avon a diploma from tho famous Paris School of Medicine, passing a brilliant examina tion and receiving the maximum mark. Her thesis was "Icdism," and for an hour and a half she was shrewdly and ably questioned by four of the leading professors of the school, each of whom had been provided with a copy cf the thesis. In the black gown and white fichu, prescribed for candidates, she re minded the audience of Portia in the trial scene of the "Merchant of Venice." Dr. Mary Taylor Bissell, sister of thv president of Vassar, who is in charge of the girls' gymnasium in New York city, is interested in the project of a college of physical training for girls. Whenever this college is readj- to receive pupils they will be measured on entering, and an average gain of 2 1-2 inches about the chest, 5 inches about the waist, 1 1-2 inches about the arm and 1 inch about the forearm is what is looked forward to as the desirable result of the first year's bodily training and exercise of the typical slim girl at 17. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe spends the greater part of the year at Oak Glen, her country home, five miles out of Newport. Oak Glen owes its name to the cluster of oak trees which makes the slope Lehind he house cool and shady in the hot sum mer days. A little brook runs murmur ing through their midst, and an old gray ruin of a stone mill stands on the farther side of the stream. Under these trees Mrs. Howe passes many hours with her books or writing beside her. and here she reads in the great book of nature and hears the wise talk of the singing birds, with which the green brandies are alhe. These hours are tho happiest in her Lusv life. New York's " liyo" Gang. The members of the New York "Whyo" gang travel ordinarily in Hours, and their yell, which gives them their name, sounds like this: "WIit-o-o-o!'' Thtir dialcct is Choctaw to the uninitiated. For instance, a schooner of beer is a "basin," a month in jail is a "stone," a week is a "brick" and the favorite oath of some of the blackguards is, "If I did dat may I be as low as memudder." Daniel Lyons, the leader of the gang, who was shot by a saloon keeper in a row, was buried in unconsecrated ground. His sister at the burial cried out, Titeously: "O Danny!
