NEBRASKA bas no right to grum

In taking this bold course , the ex

pluck. After twelve years of exper

OF the European powers that will

Austria must take the lead. Des
pite the assertion , that perfect tin.
deretandlng bas been arrived At between - , '

to Eastern Affairs , there can be no
manner of donbl that the Austrian
semi official organs , which peel
tively deny tb existence of such nn
understanding , are correct , and that
Austria reserves to itself absolute
liberty of action.
At a military conference held in
Vienna on Saturday it was suggest
ed that Austria should not occupy
'
Bosnia if the tranquility of Se'rvJa

more certain that a project -of an

MB. CALDWELL tacitly admits
tiuxt the Academy of Music is a dan-
g-rnus man-trap , but he thinks the
proprietors cannot afford to spend
{ 5,000 for its reconstruction. Now
we don't expect the proprietors of
the Academy ever will come to the
conclusion that they can afford to
expend $5,000 or any other sum for
*
the reconstruction of their danger
ous man-trap until they are forced
to do BO , not "merely by an
expression of public indignation
but by tne force of law. Let ( he
city council enact an ordinance that
will Impose a heavy penalty upon
proprietors of public halls who fail
to provide ample means of egress
from them , and let this ordinance
compel the mayor to cancel the li
cense of all places of public amuse
ment that fail to comply with the
requirements of public safety , and
we shall soon see the Academy of
Music reconstructed.
Better still than all this would be
tne ronverdon of Oreighton Hall
into an opera house That would
do away with the necessity of the
forced reconstruction of the Acade
my of Music , which , at best , can
never meet the requirements of a
growing city like Omalia.
T.aB Immediate ctlect of the war
precipitated by Bussia for the ame
lioration of the condition of tbe
Christians in the MurkLih provinces
IB foreshadowed by the London
limta as follows :
The immediate effect will be to
produce a mass of Buffering and
crime , compared with which the
massacres , burnings , and horrors of
tbe present controversy are a trifle.
The belligerents will not spare. On
the plea of retaliation , each will ex
ecute what he thinks a divine ven
geance on the foa and all hi.-
belongings. . .Before long w
who sit at home will ba be
ginnlne the dreary old cal
culation which side will lose most
by equal loasea. At present 'the
arithmetical view of the question is
Bgainst tbe Mussulman , for on nis
side there is only a lighting caste ,
and on the other a vast and mixed
population of warlike fanatics. Bach
estimates , however , are apttdbe

Turkey , no douot , hav the advan

She haa a better climate ,
better ports , even better commu

lasts the worse it will be for her.
A few weeks of tbe war will put the
Moslems into the condition of their
penniless ancestors , possessing no h-
Ingbut the sword , and relying on it
for tbe ground they stand on and
their food from day to day. Itj is
almost useless to speculate upon con

There are Tbnnnands of Mea
throughout tbe states and territories
who have their most sanguine hopes
fixed on the Uig Horn , hence the
importance of the best route. This
would necessarily Include safety ,
directness and celerity. The route
possessing these advantages must ,
in the nature of things , be the fa

two characteristics of the age , and
every prudent man will consider
these facts. There are several
routes advocated by which this
