SUBSCRIPTION : S2 PER YEAR
INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE.
THE Omaha Bee's Annual Review of
our magnificient little metropolis is a
mechanical beauty , llosey has done
himself proud.
A WAVE of reform has struck Hot
Springs , Arkansas. A prohibitory li
quor ordinance has just gone into effect
at that famous resort.
CONGRESSMAN LAIRD was the victim
of a very unfortunate and perious acci
dent , while out horseback riding at the
capital , New Year day. It appears that
lie was thrown from his horse , and sus
tained a compound fracture of a limb
just above the ankle.
. THE fact that there has been an in
crease of $10,000,000 in the savings
bank deposits of Massachusetts is taken
as evidence that the hard times have not
pressed severely upon the working
classes as has been generally supposed.
A better measure of the prosperity of ]
this class , however , is the increase in
the smaller deposits , and in those below
$300 it has been only $515,000. about
one-third of what it was in 1883.
THE startling statement is made that
the Egyptian obelisk in Central Park is
slowly disintegrating under the influence
of American weather , and that in five
hundred years the hieroglyphics thereon
will be illegible. These characters have
proved very interesting reading for the
visitors at the park , and in view of their
threatened departure New York should
put in a bid for another.obelisk at once ,
order to be filled some time in the future.
: ALLEN W. FIELD , of Lincoln , the
caucus nominee for speaker , is a native
of Illinois , and is 31 years of age. He
is hy profession a lawyer , having prac
ticed since 1877 , and stands high at the
bar for a young man. He was a mem
ber of the lower house during the legis
lative session of 1882 , and was num
bered among the active and able mem
bers. Of prepossessing appearance , a
pleasing , well modulated voice , of an
even temperament , and , so far as may
be judged , being a thorough parliamen
tarian , it is believed by his many friends
that Mr. Field will make a competent
and faithful presiding officer. Journal.
"THE Great American Desert , " as it
was once called , including 40,000 or
50,000 square miles of land in Texas ,
New Mexico and Colorado , is made ex
cellent grazing country and tillable by
the wells sunk from its surface , an
abundance"of excellent water being
easily found , which flows in all direc
tions toward the depressions , forming
streams , which saturate the soil and
render it productive. The Desert of
Sahara is being made partially habita
ble , and the terrors have been removed
from all the routes of- travel across it ,
by flowing wells , of which a vast num
L. ber have been bored by French traders
and others interested in the traffic of
Central Africa.
-AN"attempt was made , it is deflared.
on" Saturday last to blow up a railroad
' train in England with dynamite. As
usual a suspicious lookir.g gentleman
not remotely connected with America
was seen in the vicinity of the explosion
not long before it occurred. In this case
he had a package of "cloth of American
manufacture" among other baggage
when he was seen. The witnesses over
there are more certain about things than
our people would be. It takes an ex
pert in this country to tell "American
cloth'1 from English and French coun
terfeits. It used to be the other way ,
and the English and French goods were
counterfeited by American manufactur
ers. But this no longer occurs. State
Journal.
THE Bee thus explains the object of
Sam Randall's tour through the south :
"Sam Randall's southern tour may have
for its object the spread of his tariff
ideas , but so far it looks as if the main
purpose of his swinging round the south
ern circle was for his own entertainment
and to lay the foundation for his candi
dacy for the presidency in 1888. lie is
certainly being very cordially received ,
and is being treated to refreshments in
a very liberal manner. There is one
thing sure that the hospitable southern
ers do not propose to let Sam go hun
gry. It is barely possible , however ,
that Sam Randall has another object in
view , and that is to convince Cleveland
that , the south would'hail with delight
his appointment to a cabinet position. "
WHILE the Nebraska legislature is
relieved from the harrassing duty of
electing a United States senator , the
legislatures of fifteen other states will
be called upon to choose senators within
the next thirty days. In the coming
election the republicans will probably
gain two senators , while Illinois is doubt
ful and may be lost. Farley , of Cali
fornia , and Slater , of Oregon , will be
succeeded by republicans ; the former
probably by ex-Minister Sargent , and
the latter by John IL.Mitclicll or George
H. Williams. Jones , of Nevada , will
get another term , and so may Hill , of
Colorado , but in the latter case the op
posing candidates are many and the is
sue-doubtful. Ingalls , of Kansas , will
probably be elected , as will Cameron , of
Pennsylvania , and Platt , of Connecti
cut , while Wisconsin will have a contest
with Angus Cameron refusing to run.
In that state General Fairchild and Col
onel Spooner are the leading candidates.
New York completes the list of republi
can states. On the democratic side
Walker , of Arkansas , Call , of Florida ,
Voorhees , of Indiana , Vest , of Missouri ,
and Vance , of North Carolina , all expect
re-election. Of the
- twenty-five vacan
cies which occur in the senate next March
nine have been already filled without
change as to politics , and New Hamp
shire will re-elect Blair , or send sonic
other republican when the legislature
meets next June Bee.
THE grimmest parody on earth is a
charity ball. A thousand dollars is
wasted in lolly and profusion that a
hundred may go to the poor. Fiddles
and flowers , waltzes and wines for the
rich and proud , that a few crumbs and
crackers may fall to the poor. If there
be any arch-demon waging perpetual
war against humanity , with hunger and
cold as his adjutants , he can smilingty
furlough his officers when a charity ball
is on the tapis. Human neglect will do
more than he and his allies can accom
plish. A charity ball is a truce with the
poverty that never ceases to push and
pinch and gripe a contrivance to com
bine selfishness and almsgiving a horrid
rid travesty on the real , sweet-faced ,
low-voiced chaiity that helps the poor.
Topics.
THE entire country is in sympathy
with Gen. Grant iu his financial troub
les , and there is no danger but what
he will be amply cared for. Talking on
the subject , The Brooklyn Union says :
The holiday season is becoming little
less than a mockery to Gen. Grant. It
was at Christmas time last year that he
got that ugly fall which had such a bad
effect upon his health , and it was Christ
inas week this year when he found that
all of his property , even to the swords
and medals he received from congress
and his costly presents from foreign
countries , would be required to meet the
'
claim of'Vanderbilt for the $150.000
which the old soldier unfortunately bor
rowed of the millionaire last spring , in
the vai i hope of saving his son's firm
from ruin. It is not conceivable that the
country will be disgraced by such an
event as the forced sale of these histor
ic relics. Vauderbilt has offered to throw
off $60.000 of the $160,000 to which his
claim now amounts , and a number of
Grant's friends among the rich men-are
at work to raise the remainder. It is a
sad spectacle this of the old warrior beg
gared by those whom he had too confid
ingly trusted , broken health and de
pressed in spirits. Relief from his finan
cial distress will only remove his troubles
in part , but it is pleasant to know that
this measure of relief seems assured.
BEAYER BITS.
ED. TRIBUNE. Dear Sir : Christ
mas day passed off quietly in this neigh
borhood , and our people are in the en
joyment of health and happiness ; and
peace and quietness reign.
The meetings conducted by Rev. Ma-1
son closed , last Sunday night. The
weather was quite unfavorable during
the most of the time these meetings ,
were in progress. j
It is expected that Rev. Towne of
McCook will soon begin a series of
meetings here in the interests of the
Christian church.
The good people seem to have a great
interest in the welfare of our community - ,
nity and our people should and doubt
less do appreciate it.
Quite an enjoyable time was had at
the residence of Mr. J. L. Townley , one
day last w ; ek , it being the occasion of
a neighborly visit. Among those pres
ent we noticed J. F. Springer and wife
and Rev. Towne of McCook. Mr. and
Mrs. Townley are noted for knowing
how to get up a good dinner and it is
only their due to say that they even ex
celled themselves on the above occasion.
The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Levi
Hendershot was the scene of a very
pleasant gathering on Thursday night
last. Among those present , as we are
informed , were Mr. Smiley and sisters ,
Messrs. Bastian Bros. , Messrs. Stilge-
bouer Bros , and sister , J. H. Russell
and B. Ashton.
Owing to the holiday gatherings and
inclemency of the weather the Lyceum
gets a rest. . Respectfully ,
Hamburgh , Dec. 29. BEAVER.
NEW ORLEAiNS LETTER.
Every day shows an increased atten
dance at the Exposition , and while
work still progresses in and on the va
rious buildings , grounds , etc. , interest
in the success of the World's great
Fair does not slack. Within the past
ten days much has been done toward
completing details. Of course the for
mal opening was premature , but post
ponements tend to depress exhibitors
more than anything else , and as the
public expected , even demanded it ,
the management concluded it was the
best to throw her open and thereby in
spire nil connected with the affair to
bestir themselves to get into shape ,
and give people visiting the city an
opportunity of seeing already the
"greatest show on earth. "
Stables for several thousand head of
blooded stock have been constructed
and many car loads are now on the road
headed hither.
Machinery is getting into place in
the immense cotton and saw-mill de
partments ; and the art gallery will he
receiving its contents the first of Jan
uary , while the Mexican octagonal iron
building will he finished by the mid
dle of January.
Workmen are busy laying the mil-
way for the electric passenger train ;
while the dozen electric towers will
shed a refulgence over the whole
O
grounds that will.astonish , but please ,
the world of spectators.
Fountains are playing thousands of
jets which are caught by the mild
and wafted in refreshing
zephyrs gently refresh- s
ing sprays over the park forming beau- J
til'ul miniature rainbows by reflections
of the sun's rays.
Ways and means for reaching the
Exposition grounds , which has been a
serious question for the management
to solve , is to be remedied by laying a
steam railway to run from Canal street ,
which with the street car lines and
steamboats on the river will probably
be adequate to serve the throngs that
will daily visit the grounds for the
next six months.
' A very important evil in the way
of accommodations for the public ,
which threatened to lessen the expect
ed attendance by extortionate charges
for board and lodging , especially , the
latter , has been overcome by a sudden
reduction over the city. New one cin
rent a room for a week or month 'with
out being necessitated in purchasing
the same , seemingly.
Christmas eve , the 'three electric
light Companies engaged in lighting
the Exposition turned on every lamp
and burner in the building and on the
towers , and such a hall of brightness
has not been seen since the Star of
Bethlehem arose in the East , 1884
years ao-o. It seemed a Hundred suns ,
a thousand moons , a ir.illion stars had
suddenly blended into a trinity , and
that Heaven itself had bent forward
and smiled down on this wicked world
on this great memorable event of the
r *
19th century , the eve of the birth of
our Lord and Savior. The reflections
of the electrics shone for miles around ,
and the glass tower of the horticul
tural hall was particularly attractive
as it glittered like so many diamonds
up above the ordinary building. Those
who saw this wonderful sight will nev
er live long enough to forget it , and
those who didn't see it will never
know what they missed.
Wm. H. H. Judson , Exposition
Sup't of printing and publishing , has
made an excellent official and being a
newspaper man , knows how to deal
with the press and has man } ' friends.
He extends the courtesy due the fraternity - j
ternity and makes them as comfortable - i
able as possible. The management.
has liberally arranged for the care of
editors and consequently the Fourth
Estate will go to the front.
Of all the gay Christmas eve festiv
ities New Orleans had 'em bad. It
seemed that Pandemonium had been
let loose. Everybody with his girl was
on the promenade , and Canal street
was a lively scene. Tin hornswlnstles ,
drums , kazoos and ten cent shows had
the run. The noise was terrible and
the fun likewise. All in good humor ,
and the stranger as well as townsman
had some instrument of sound and
chimed in and en joyed himself. Grown
young ladies with their beaus were
armed with the terrible noisorproducr
ing fish horn , and would in passing a
bashful young man surge the funnel
shape machine to the fellows off ear
and let him have a Christmas eve sal
utation. The y. f. would jump about
three feetand sing out "hold , enough ! "
This merriment was kept up till 1 a. in.
with thu aid of fire crackers , when the
rain drove all except a few revelers
homo to their little beds.
Last Thursday was the coldest day
of the season here. The ground froze
slightly and banana plants and deli
cate tropical shrubbery succumbed
and gave Jack Frost the palm.
The city is full of visitors , to-day ,
mostly excursion parties of teachers
and pupils from majiy states , who have
taken advantage of their holidays.
ONE of the latest London absurdities
is for the owners of little dog to leave
the dog's card with their own when the } *

and bear the animal's name in full.
