E. E'lSEU'ATER, Publisher The war in Spain jems to con tinue without intenuissioiialtliough Don Carloa lias made no headway In iho conquest of his kingdom, his army still remains on Snaui-h soil, a standing menace to the Ttepublic. The President has renominated Captain Baird as Postmaster of Lincoln. Captain Baird has been an efficient officer, and his reten tion In the service is simply a de served recognition of faithful ser vices. The French Royalists .are not very easily discouraged. The defeat of the electoral bill m the French Assembly has infused froh hopes into their ranks, and now they an nounce their intention to renew their effort to secure the establish ment of a monarchy by the vote of the National Assembly. According to the Chicago Tri bune, Governor Shepherd, of the District of Columbia ring, and Saw yer, Mr. Richardson's cx-as.-istant of the Treasury, are said to have aspirations for places on the tem porary Commission to govern the District of Columbia. These gentle men want, first of all, to be vindi cated; and Sawyer wants further to make $5,000 per annum in "a light and genteel" employment, without the investment of any capi tal in the way of reputation. General Burxsidr still leads the Senatorial contestants in Rhode Island ; but, so far, he simply holds his own. During the struggle of the past week he has developed no greater strength than was exhibited by the second and. third ballots. This Is, within itself, an indication of weakness. Unless he can create a diversion in his own favor during the interval of adjournment, le tween now and Tuesday, he will, In allprobability, have to abandon the race. Congress has adopted a very singular method to encourage jour nalistic enterprise. Under the new postal law, weekly newspapers are to be conveyed by mail to all parts of the country, at the rate of one and a-half cents per iouiid, while daily papers are to le charged three cents per pound. In otiier words, Uncle Sam proioes to tax publishers, Avho patronize him every day in the week, one hundred per cent, more than he charges to pul lishers, who patronize Jiim once a week. Again, the dailies that ex hibit the greatest cntcrprse in the size of their papers, arc to be pun ished correspondingly for their lib erality. There is now scarcely a doubt that the construction of the Union Pacific depot and headquarters buildings' will be commenced with in the next twenty dajs. Work on the .post office and the long neglec ted jmblie thoroughfares will also be resumed by July first. This will af Jbrd employment for quite a number of working men and consequently put considerable money into circu lation among our retail merchants. Even a partial revival of trade will go far to revive the drooping spirits of many of our business men who have had just reason for com plaining about the dullness of the season. If our capitalists could only be induced to take an earnest hold of the proposed railway extensions north and south, Omaha would soon regain what she should never have lost, the commercial suprema cy in the Missouri Valley. The dawn of common sene touching the reapportionment con troversy among our rural western coatemporaries is highly gratifying. The .Lowell Hcgtstcr which, hereto fore has differed very dccidedly vrith the views expressed by the Bee on the proposed remedies to Western disfranchisement has at : last arrived at the following couclu- "It is conceded on all hands that It is entirely impracticable to have two extra sessions of the Legislature this year, and thus to secure both reapportionment and an early con stitution. It is now conceded, also, by those cognizant of all the facts in the case, that re-apportionment is, and wj;, impossible. Had we attempt ed i4 the result would only have been a complete defeat, with the evil prestige ofwhich to enter upon the cainpaigc. It is most fortunate that it was not attempted, It is also a fact that re-apportionment was sought more for its per sonal bearings upon the.U. S . sena torial campaign.than for its benefits to the people at large." SECKET POLITICAL OBGANIZATIOKS. In a free country, secret political organizations areastandiugmenace to liberty. They are political rings on a lurge scale, whose chief aim is the concentration of all political power within the magic circle of its oath-bound adherents. As long as free speech and free press remain the corner stones of our political fabric, honest men need not shun the daylight with any political views they may desire to propagate. If the advocates of any particular reform are governed by unselfish motives they can accomplish their objects more- readily by courting public investigation of their doc trines and principles than by dark lantern organizations. The Ameri can Government was founded by the people for the people, and every thing that concerns the popular wel fare should be open to public discus sion. Charitable organizations anil so cieties whose objects are - mutual improvement and protection, such as Maon-:, Odd Fellows, Grangers, and trades' unions, have a perfect right to adopt pass-words and signs for mutual recognition. They have a right to transact their business in secret, since that business concerns only their own members. Political organization1;, on the other hand, profess to be organized for the pur pose of regulating and reforming the public service, ami for conduct the affairs of the State or Nation. All the people are interested in the actions of such organization, and consequently, their actions should ever be accessible to the public. Secret political societies have al ways been the hot IkmIs of political corruption, and we need only cite "Tammany" to prove to veracity of this declaration. They have as we have declared at the outset, been a standing menace to liberty, and we need only refer to Know nothing ism and Ku Ivluxism. Men who fight their battles in the dark, and expect to waylay their political eno mies by their underground strategy, are certainly not entitled to the confidence of the people. Much less should they be entrusted with sacred responsibilities in the conduct of tlio people's business. Against this class of covert reform er the Bi:e j.roposes to wage unre lenting warfare. It is immaterial whether the men who have asso ciated themselves with secret politi cal organizations have been, or are now, our patrons and friends. If they have allied themselves with a band of masked political Ku Kuixes they must prepare to meet the consequences of their impru dence. Secret political societies may sometimes meet with tempor ary success, but in no instance have they been known to benefit the people whose welfare they profess to have at heart. The argument that arrogant capital and soulles monoiolists can only be restrained by secret political organizations is a sham that can very readily be ex ploded. Capitalists and monopo lists without difficulty find emissa ries to keep them fully advised about the plans and schemes of any secret political body. Every politi cal battle must be fought at the ballot-box and honest people will pre fer to fight their battles in the open field to sneaking behind the cover of maikcil batteries. EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Of ninc;y M'ven candidates for the West Point Academy only thirty two passed the examination for intellectual qualifications-, and all but two passed the physical test, which is quite severe. And yet croakers tell us we are cultivating the intellect at the expense ot the oody, and rapidly playing out phys ically. Why, ninety-seven boys would have done better as "to brains and worse as to muscle in "them good, good ole daze" our grandfathers constantly harp upon. THE MAIDEN'S LAMENT. The setting sun gilded her soft brown hair, And mellowed the grief in her lumiuant ejes. Then reddened with blushes her bosom fair AUU UUk 111 U1A4C Ul lUXIUMUk .J - Yet the sun comes up with the coming morn, And the West ith flame again, as of yore; But a hope once set is never reborn, And a tiejrt that is broteu is dead evermore. So the maiden moaned with the moaning trees. And lifted wet eyes to the rtong moon. And whispered her woe to the whispering breeze She must wear Lcr sA ring hat till the end of June. Cincinnati Times. " UMBTJEGEB.' On a tree there sat a crow. In his bill athunlcofchee'e; On the ground a fox below, Said "Some music, If you please, You arc beautiful of wing, And I bet that you can sing." Cheered by flattery the crow San;, and dropped the etieese lelow; 1 hen the cunning fox did freeze To the fallen chunk of cheese, And he calmlr lugged it otf. And be&coned the song with scoff. When they pat you on.tlie back, hen they say that on're the one; Wl-cn they say they're on the trai k, "And have been obliged to run;" When their compliments denote They are going for your vote.

The report that Miss Adelade Phillips, is about to marry, has been contradicted. A Burlington, Vt., lass has ac complished the dream of her child hood by marrying a circus clown. She has for years been wild for such an alliance. Milwaukee wisdom : "When you see a young couple late at night on the lake bank chewing and eating each other, just let 'em alone, They are only fooling." A marriage was broken up in Du luth by tlio young man making an unexpected call, and finding the poodle dog playing with his true love's glass eye. According to reports one of the Pope's nieces has declared her in tcntiau of having a voice in the be stowal of her own hand, and has refused to marry Blgnor Asquln, nephew of a cardinal of that name, who has been chosen for her. Mr. Curry married Miss Mary Cummings, at Los Angeles, five years and seven months ago, since which time Mrs. Curry has presen ted her husband with ten children, In the shape of five pairs of twins. They now reside in Mendocino City. Sweet Mollie Mudge resides on the banks of the Mississippi in a poor hovel with her father, who hates all mankind, and has mado his daugh ter promise never to marry. Mollie is described as so beautiful niul in telligent no unmarried man was ever known to see her without onering to make her wife. A Piute Indian presented himself, with his Mahala; to Father Manog ue, at Virginia, a few days ago, and desired to be married "like white man," The reverend gentleman, having ascertained that the proper conception of the obligations they were about to take upon themselves, baptized the pair and then tied the hynienial knot. A Lafayette wedding was broken off at the moment of consummation by the discovery that the prospec tive groom has a wife still living somewhere in Illinois. The parties had been keeping company for nearly three years, and the djsco very of the prospective bridegroom's per fidy was made just in the niche of time. One of San Jose's fair daughters received her papa's permission to siend a few weeks at Santa Cruz. She stai led from home last week, and on tho way was overtaken, quite by accident, by a nice young man. They journeyed together, and at Santa Cruz a parson made them of "one llesh." The old folks havs taken the matter under advise ment. One day last week a young couple went to a Justice of the Peace in Osceola, Ivy., and were married. On the way home the srroom took occasion to lay down the law to his young wife, and informed her what she mast, and what she must not do. A row ensued, and "the bride of an hour" returned to her fond parents, while tho groom started West, to grow up with the country. A Nashville friend of ours, who has jut been married and gone into housekeeping, mentions, incident ally and uncomplainingly, the fol lowing few of his wife's relations that comprise his (?) family: "His wife's mother, three sisters, seven step-sisters, two widowed aunts, their four babies, three maiden aunts, three cou.-ins, two nieces, one grandmother, two grandaunts, and an atlopteu lemalc infant ; and lie the only man in the house." Fan cy a midnight alarm of fire in that domicile. Danbury News. A few days ago a young couple registered their intentions to be married at the City Clerk's office. The clerk recorded their names in due form, gave them a little of that excellent advice of which he has so bountiful a store, and pocketed the fee. Yesterday the intending wo man told a friend that she was mar ried and living with her husband. On cross-examination she described the ceremony that the clerk went through when she was as she sup posed united to her true-love in the bonds of matrimony. At this re cital she was informed that she had only been "registered" and could not be married until she received her certificate. This made trouble in the young woman's mind, and she at once started for her brevet husband and broke the awful intel ligence to him. He was thunder struck, and the once happy couple are debating what to do about it. Ibrtland JYcss. Married people should treat each other like lovers all their lives, then they would be happy. Bickering and quarreling would soon break oil love affairs consequently, lovers indulge in such only to a very limi ted extent. But some people men and women both when they have once got married, think they may do just as. they please, and it will make no difference. They make a great mistake. It causes alt the dif ference in the world. Women should grow more devoted, and men more fond after marriage, if the have the slightest idea of being happy as wives and husbands. It is losing sight of this fundamental truth, which leads to hundreds of divorces. Yet many a man will scold his wife who would never think of breathing a harsh word to his sweetheart; and many a wife will be glum and morose on her hus band's return, who had only smiles and words of cheer for him when he was her suitor. How can such peo ple expect to be happy? EELIGIOUS. In England there are 300 differ ent religious sects. A fine new Episcopal Mission church was dedicated in Baltimore on Sunday last. A Unitarian Church is soon to be organized at Greeley, Colorado. Rev, Mr Myrick, pastor. Bev. Bishop Merrill will preside over the Pacific Conference of the Methodist Church during the ensu ing year. It is proposed by the Lutherans to erect a monument to Luther, on the Centennial grounds, and the help of Germans and Scandinavians is asked for this purjwse. The Catholic Church at Port Madison, Iowa, has just received a fl,000 organ for its new SSO.OOO church, or rather cathedral, which is the largest and finest in the State. The First Congregational Church of Lexington, Massachusetts, is still using a Bible which was pre sented to the parisli by John Han cock in 1893. They were never hard on Bibles in Massachusetts. The Methodist Church South de clines the offer of union by the Methodist Church North. It thinks each church can do Its work and fulfill its mission most effectively by maintaining an independent or ganization. The ProtestanLs and Catholics have engaged in a heated discussion in Canada on the subject of public education, the latter desiring separ ate schools. In St. John, N. B., an election has just been held at which the separate school project was sig nally defeated. The oldest Catholic priest in Nortii America, is now stationed at St. John's Church, Frederick, Md., Bev. John McElroy, S. J. He was ordained by Archbishop Carroll, GO years ago, ami has consequently spent over half a century in the ministry. Ho is now 9S years of age. Bishop Welles, of Wisconsin, is a native of Waterloo,New York, stud ied at Hobart College,Geneva,wasa tutor two years at Devereux College, Suspension Bridge, was ordained in 3850, and leaving college proceeded to Bed Wing parish, Minnesota, when it had only two members. It is now one of tho strongest in the diocese. According to a Catholic paper the procession in honor of the liquefac tion of the blood of St. Jauuarius took place this year in Naples with great pomp. Indeed, nothing like it has been since 1S.J3, Tlio blood was hard when taken from the cathedral, but liquefied when ex posed upon tho altar of the church of St. Chuira. The return of the procession to the cathedral, which took place at night, was illuminated by electric light, and produced a very striking effect. A tremendous crowd lined Uio streets, and the iiianlfostations of faith and religious fervor were so remarkable that oven the Liberal papers report upon them with surprise, and, of course, indig nation. Young clergymen may get a hint from reading, just before going to bed, the following extract from one of Henry Ward Beecher's ser mons: "I sleep Saturday nights for Sunday. My best sermons are always slept up. I lie in the morn ing in that dreamy state when my hotly seems to be asleep and my mind wideawake, nnd 1 fashion my sermons. If you could hear one of them you would never want to hear them as here delivered ; they are so much larger and more symmetrical, and I often spring from my bed say ing, 'God help me, I will have a sermon to-day ! ' but the moment that I want to imprison my thoughts into words, they are gone, And so I say L have an experience of the higher life, momentary though it be, a faint and feeble analogue of the disclosures that are yet to come in the other life." The Bev. George C. Betts, former ly of Omaha and now of the Protest ant Episcopal Church, in Kansas, is in a newspaper controversy with the Bev. Dr. Holland, of the same Church, in St. Louis. It appears that Mr. Betts was invited by Dr. Holland to preach m the church of the latter, and that he did preach, and discussed "Ritualism," con tending that those who denounced it were confounding doctrine with ritual, to the sad neglect of the for mer. To this sermon Dr. Holland made a public reply. Mr. BetLs res-Kinds, and among other things, in reference to the alleged " Romaniz ing tendency," says: " Now we are not easily fright ened. Let it be noted that, not- witiistamiing all tins clamor and confusion, the Protestant Episcopal Church does actually recognize the Roman Catholic Church as a lawful branch of tho Church of Christ, while, on the contrary, she utterly repudiates the pretensions of the sects to any such honor." IMPIETIES. The Dunknnls at their late Na tional Convention denounced the u?e oi "tiie ungodly piano." Major General John Jesus was drunk in the streets of Trinidad, Xew Mexico, recently. He wtus crucified before a Justices' Court. A Presbyterian minister in Illinois was found to havo two wives, and excused himself by saying that he had experienced Mormon ism. A young Episcopal divine In St. Ixiuis won a surplice the other day by betting on croquet with a lady parishioner. Several Iowa clergyman have been arrested for violation of the lish law. They will doubtless plead they were only playing peter. A Iocaljournal, in noticing a Sun dav School nleiiicntKsillirtftnni no says the day was equally divide!! between speaking, eating, and court ing. "What becomes of dogs when they die?" was what a Juvenile in Burlington asked his pa. "They go to the happy land of canine," his parent quickly replied. The leading editorial of a religious exchange is headed ''Our Hope is in Heaven." On the next page is an advertisement of a gift concert. An Iowa newspaper tells of an eminent divine who is trying his in genuity to invent a hell of sufficient intensity for druggists. He consid ers the ordinary hell hot enough for saloon-keepers, but he despairs of doing justice to the druggists. A man who was about to be hanged in Alabama,sang as he stood with the noose about his neck, "Oh! the bright angels are waiting for me." Whereupon the local editor fiendishly wrote, "And then the angels stirred up the fire and looked brighter than ever." The prophet Elijah has communi cated to a lady medium, and through her to the Graphic, the information that New York is to be swallowed up in an earthquake this year, and likewise that the entire country is to be visited with war, famine and pestilence. The fare to Europe ought to be reduced immediately. BANKING. ALVIN SAUNDERS, President. BEX WOOD, EXOS LOWE Vice Presdent. Cashier. STATE SAVINGS BANE, X. W. Cor.
