JOHXSOS , C. II. GEEE , Chairman. Secretarri BAZAINE'S escape is now con firmed by cable telegram , and ac cording to a leading'Paris paper , lie belongs to that class of prisoners subject to extradition under interna tional treaty stipulations. If that be true , Bazaine will doubtless take good care that bis hiding place shall remain a mystery. Ohio Is just now agitated from cen tre to circumference by the new Constitution discussion. From pre sent appearances the vote on that instrument will bo very close , with considerable probability of is defeat. The principal subjects under discus sion are Its frcefcchool article , ini- lority representation and the liquor iestion. > . TKB editorial columns of the Omaha evening Ko-op are conduc ted on the cowardly sneak thief principle. "Without daring to avow -authorship of his own dish- watery productions , the imbecile inkslingcr of that concern takes icial delight In reproducing the ilous slush of the inebriate ad- turer that edits an obscene gin sheet known as the -Lincoln Blade. f SCANDALS never will cease. An other story of clerical "nest-hiding" comes to us from Eureka , Illinois. Bev. "NV. J. Johnson , a Methodist preacher , located three miles from that city , clopt-d Saturday night with the wife of John S. Braymnn , Esq , whom it is said he seduced and has been living on terms of Intimacy with for some time. Johnson is n single man about thirty-eight years of age , and a man of considerable ability. Mrs. Brayinan is a woman about thirty-two , handsome , as well as being the mother of several chil dren. The sad aflair causes the greatest excitement , owing to the prominent positions of the parties. THE reuomination of the Polyga mous Apostle Cannon meets with a universal protest from the eastern press. The AlbanyJonrnal referring to this case says it is thought in "Washington that the return of this pestiferiotis polygamist will open auew the whole Mormon question , and that it is not unlikely the next Congress will pass a resolution of expulsion , and thereby teach Brigham - ham Young ai d his brazen Cannon "a lesson they very gaeatly need to learn. It is about time this Mormon nuisance were dis posed of. The hope entertained by some that there would be a muss in the family , and that the women would rebel and burst up the con cern , has been dispelled by the ten acity with which theo clug to the institution. A little wholeseme leg islation concerning the evil will do good work , and after this defiant at titude in sending Bishop Cannon again to Washington we hope Con gress will not hesitate for a moment out of its presence. " CHEAP ADYICE. The Council voted to have Mr Thomas J. Whitman , Superinteu dent of the St. JLouis Water Works come , to this city , and mate an esti mate of the' coslt 'of water work , here. He came , and of course tht Council must pay 'his expenses which are about $100. He now agrees to furnish plans and esti mates for $450. This matter will be acted upon at the next Counci meeting. Prom present indications the Council will vote to pay that sum for the said plans and estimates. Our advice is that ihey stop where they are , paying Mr. Whitman' expenses , about $100 , and let the matter drop. That expense * , ough not to have been incurred in the present condition oi cfty finances but it was ordered , and must be paid. Republican. The astute mismanager of the mammoth collapsed is always readj with cheap advice. It strikes us however , that a man who has been such a notorious failure in the man agenient of his own business woulc hardly be a proper person to advise others. The idea of paying the $100 tc Mr. Whitman , and dropping the whole water-works question for the sake of saving $450 , could onlyorlg inate in the-braln oj a man whose picayunish economy has destroyed the oldest and most promising dally newspaper in Nebraska. Would not Mr. Whitman verj naturally conclude that the Omaha City Council is made up of a set o idiots or fools , if , after sending foi him and paying his traveling ex penses , they should conclude tha they did not want the information which alone can enable them to ar rive at definite conclusions abou the water-works project. Suppose the manager of the Oma ha fossil being a firm believer in phrenology had jijvjted Professor Fowler to examine his WebstprJa.n cranium , what would bo thought o his sagacity if after Fowler had made u protracted examination of al the bumps and depressions on m-a pate , he should inform the great phrenologist that he would pay his traveling expenses , and for the sake ot economy preferred to dispense with with all explanations and charts ? What has the present condition ol our municipal finances to do with the proposition to vote Water Works bonds ? Does any sane man sup ? pose that we can ever expect to es tablish Water Works in Omaha with the juoney } n the CUy Treas ury ? Exen if Omaha should conclude to defer the construction of water works another year , she will need plans and estimates in order to familiarize herself with the details of the project. For our part wo hope the Council will pay no attention to the advice of the Republican , but on the contrary will accept Mr. Whitman's proposition. SPAIN has at last been formally recognized as a Republic by the great European powers. This re cognition will prove of incalculable advantage to the Spanish government - ; ment in the suppression of the Car- list and Cuban insurrection , and the re-establishment of its national supremacy. The immediate effects of recognition will be an improve ment in the national credit. Jt will enable President Serrano to raise all the money needed for the equipment and maintenance of his military aud naval forces , and it is more than probable that Don Carlos will , within a few months , abandon his cherished plan for the re-estab. lishment of the Spanish monarchy. FOUR months ago the jRepublican pledged its support to any propo sition for establishing a system of Water Works In Omaha , just as soon as the City Council would fur nish reliable estimates of the proba ble cost from some practical engi neer. Now the old fogy concern denounces the City Council for ma king an effort to secure such esti mates from an experienced and re liable engineer at very moderate figures. This is about on par with the course pursued by the readerless fossil upon all other matters of public interest. FOUR months ago , when the water work question was before the citizens of Omaha , the Republican opposed the proposition because no specific plan or estimate had been furnished which would enable the people to form an idea as to the probable expense. Now the old fossil organ opposes the expendi ture of $450 for plans and ; stiniates from one of the most jompetent water works engineers n America. SENATOR HITCHCOCK does not cern to comprehend the responsi- illity that attaches to him in con- icction with the Omaha Postmas- ership. He seems to overlook the ict that the privilege of disposing f public offices also entails upon ilm an accountability to the people arthe conduct of those who enjoy lublic patronage under his steward- Lip. In other words the Senator anuot dispose of public offices as if liey were his personal property. His relations to the people are , in lany respects , similar to those of manager or superintendent of a lilroad company to the stockbold- rs. A proprietor of a iner- intile or manufacturing estab- shment might retain adis- oncst clerk in its employ , if he iw fit to lake the risk ; but If a xilway superintendent should , re- tin a dishonest agent or conductor i the company's employ , he ould become justly liable to jvere censure from the directors nd stockholders. Now the people re the stockholders that own all ic postoffices. Senator Hitch- > ck is temporarily clothed ith the power to select the post- laster , and the people have a right i know why he insists upon sus- whose dis- inlng a postmaster - jnest and corrupt acts have become atters of public record. . ABORIGINALITIES. The Catholic Indians hi Wasb ington Territory number 6,000. This is the way in which an ol server classifies them : The Co manches have a concealed look ; th Kiowas more fearless and open ; ih Apaches are a steady set. "Black Eagle , " the last of th Iroquols warriors , is no more , hav ing been run over while in a stat of helpless intoxication by a travel ing circus wagon. The Arizona Miner of August 1st says a courier from Verde lleserv has brought news of the death o old Belt Che , chief of the Apaches whose name for many years ha been a by word and a terror in cen tral and northern Arizona. An interesting problem of th frontier is , why the Arickaree Indi ans , steadfast friends of the white for over half a century , are withou arms and ammunition , while th hostile Sioux are armed with Spen cer rifles. Cochise , the late chief of tin Apaches , is credited with havinj slain twenty-seven Americans , foui Apache Indians , three Germans one Scotchman , two Englishmen one Frenchman and forty-nineMex leans and half-breeds ; in all eighty seven persons. .timong the Otoes in town las week , wo noticed one who was evi dently becoming civilized. He hat a team and wagon and was acconv panied by his family. He has yet however , to learn someof themino : customs of society , for while botl he and his wife were provided will parasols tb.e former carried his fold ed in place of a whip. Fairburi ( Neb. ) Gazette. Lieutenant Colonel Powell ha ; just completed a tour of the centra portion of British Columbia , and ii has more resembled the triumpha man of qRoinaii conqugrer tu r the official tour of an Indian com inlsslouer. Think of being escorteti several miles on his way by a guarc ] of honor composed of three hun dred Indian braves on horseback ! Everywhere the Coininissionei seems to. Uavo been well received ; and everywhere the results of his visit appear to have been satisfacto ry , the chiefs expressing the best ol feeling toward the Government. Tppjp , daughter of Kicking Bird , Chief of the Wowas , is described as a "lively , piquant little thing , witl ] arch , soulful eyes. She is but 1 years old. Shall I describe her wardrobe ? First and most rare , her bucHskin cloak , fringed and spotted "all over wJtn eJU's teeth ; and very rare and costly. Two ol them are valued at a mule. There are over 500 on her cloak. Think of wearing 250 mules on one's back. Paris and New York are outdone here. A skirt , sometimes of buck skin , sometimes it is a plain shawl , bought from the traders , completes hertoilet. ! ' Colonel Crjtcbelow , Indian agent on the Uintah reservation , 1ms been making arrangements to gather In to his fold and under the shelter of the government the scattering bands and families which have been strag gling through the settlements in the lower part of the territory for years. And now It turns out that the va grant savage refuses to go on the land specially set apart for his use , aud instead of the bounty offered by the Great Father at Washington , accepts the promises of the Prophet Brigham. The Indiausare baptised and lubricated with Endowment arpasp ; anfl made brethren HI the Church according to. i\\e \ \ rovalatlous thereunto appertaining. - We hear much said about the "noble red man" disappearing be fore the march of civilization , and in some quarters predictions are freely hazarded that in time he will jecome extinct pass away wjth the dodo. Whatever may bo the case with other tribes , the Piute has no notion of passing away. To 'increase and multiply" appears to ie the first care and the great pride of the average adult Piute. It looks somewhat as if "Lo" were bound to occupy the laud In case his product iveness shall continue. The Plutes are a remarkably healthy people. They are seldom sick , and we hear of very fpw deaths arnong tb.ejn. The few who do die appear to die of old age. There appears to be about one hundred baths to one death. Hardly a squaw that is over 16 and under 60 years of age can be seen who has not a papoose - > oose slung on her back , and some of them surpass the wife of the martyred. John Hedgers in evi- iences of prolificness. TUe women io not appear to be much addicted o twins , but the little ones come marching along quite rapidly in ingle file. The Piutes are certain- y multiplying more rapidly than my other people in the State. Even istonishingly old women among horn bear children. "What shall je done with these people ? " will ne of these days be a question that nust be answered in some way. The women are virtuous and the nen temperate , and as long as they eniain so there seems to be no ikollhpod of their dyjng off. Among he Piutes to work is considered 10 disgrace , and their biggest brave 8 not ashamed to be seen tandling an ax or saw. The women re quite industrious , and the men , re always ready to work when oin is shown them. Their great- st vice and their ruling passion is ambling. They play among theiu- elves , and when they have money nrds are never out of their hands , ill Is now lovely with these chil- ren of the deserts , as they are not et so numerous but that the cast ft clothing of the whites suffices ftr 11 , male and female , great and mall , aud the cold victuals given way In all our towns is more than nough to feed them ; but the time rill come when this will not be the ise.

It is believed that Theodore Til ton will never hold up his hea < again. The Count Johannes has es poused his cause. The rope walker Blondin is nov giving exhibitions in the Southern Pacific , and at last advices was a Queensland. Extremes meet. The Comte di Chambord has arrived at Marien bad , in Bohemia , and M.

Bob Toombs aud Governor Jo seph E.

" Yellowbammer , " who is a white man so fur as color is concerned , married an African damsel at Bis- mark the other day , whereupon the "boys" tore him from the nuptial couch , and rode him on a rail. Theodore Tilton has visited Tole do on several occasions. On one occasion he had a woman with him and Toledo ladies thought him a model man , ho was so polite to the lady In his charge.

American fairs are becoming , of late , to be" too much of horse-jockey ing concerns , and if the policy ot giving two-thirds of all the premi ums to fast horses and one-third to agricultural and all the industrial interests , their decline will bo nota ble. We can SCQ no consistency in calling Hioh shows "Agricultural and Mechanical lairs. " The name is a catch-penny game and not at all complimentary to the mass of people ple who are expected to be beguiled by it. Besides , what inducement Is there for a farmer , stock grower or manu facturer of agricultural implements to exhibit at a fair , three-fourths of whose attendants are city people drawn there to see a trial of speec anil having no interest In anything else. What stock growers am manufacturers want , is , practical fanners to look at their exhibitions Such people may spend months o. tune and any amount of money in preparing their property , which rep resents the real prosperity of the country , and receive as a reward barely sufficient to pay the expense of the week , while an utterly value less animal for all practical uses , under the management of a jockey who is no ornament to society , car ries off one , two , or five thousand dollars foj'a single display of speed. This is all wrong , and the people should see that it is corrected. An other very nefarious practice is that of putting largo amounts on the eover , as the amount offered for pre miums , which the inside do not by i long ways amount to. We dot say this is the case with all , or a ma- brity , but in one case which we ? ould mention , it is notably a fact. Fo advertise a large amount , and jive only half of it , is a fraud upon he people who pay an entry fee. Let us have a little good faith and lonesty in fairs , as well as other hings , and there will he less com- ) laiut and less necessity fqrdisrepu- ablc- jockeying , Wo are in favor of agriculture airs , and of horse shows , too , if hey are are so represented andpeo- le want them , but let each have its ight name and sail under fair col- > rs.
