THE free cities of Germany which are now threatened with a deprivation cf the special immunities which , they have enjoyed for many centuries , a : Hamburg , Bremen and Lubec. "With Fruikfort-on-the-Mam , they -were sov croign states and members of the Ger man confederation. When the Em p'ra "was reorganized Fraukfor was annexed to Prussia , bu the three retained their privi leges. Hamburg Is the oldest of thes free towns , having been founded by Charlemagne in 804. Its commercial Iiittory began in the thictaenth cen tury. In connection with Lubeo it was the nucleus of the Hansoatio league , which at one period numbered eighty-five distinct towns , aud was the tint regular trades union known in European history. THE barga line project has taken Is practical shape at last. The necessary capital to equip three fleets of barges to operate on Ihe Missouri river bo- teen Kaniai City , St. Louis and New Orleans was raised at Kansas I City Saturday. The cause of the new i organization has been the cut made by Gould roads against Kansas City in taking Kansas grain through to St. Louis from interior towns in Kansas at a cut under rates from Kansas City to St. Louis , thus diverting all grain from &Q line of the Kansas Pacific through without stopping. The barge line proposes to tarry at from 6 to' . 6 5ntB" Per bushel , whereas , the railroad now charges 15 cents. The project is feasible , having been thoroughly tested and yioStible.

In accordanca with our well-known policy to afford a hearing to all par- tiraon qucstiousof public intercsteven when they differ radically with 'on ; own view ? , we have given publicity tea a protest from an Omaha tax-payer aeainst the extension of the fire limit While the writer makes a plausible ar gument igainst tha extension of the fire limit , he does gross injustice to Councilman Stephcnson in accusing him of r.eiog in collusion with a bricl makers' ring. The fact is , Mr. Steph .emon is the lather of .the .presen fire limit ordinance and has , for year been'an uncompromising advocate'o , "solid buildings" as a fire protection upon our principal thoroughfares Mr. Stephenton had rendered Omaha invaluable semca by this ordinance It it an indisputable > fact that tome o the finest brick blocks built on Farnham street within the past fen years would never have been built ha < it not baen for Stapheuson's fire ordi nance. The writer points to the Grant Central mansard fire trap as an argu ment in favor of wooden t-nder boxes A recurrenca of suh disasters can ba readily prevented by eaasting a clause in the fire ordinance requiring all putses that build houses in Omaha to submit their plans to the council o to a fire commhsioner before they can procure a permit for building. Sue ! a provhion would not only insure brick or ftono buildings in our busi ness centre , but would prevent the erection of sham brick houses am combustible Mansard roofs. The wri ter may prefer ahanties an ( tinder boxes erected on our busiims slreets. For our pirt we prefer to see the lots remain vacant until they can be covered by solid , fire-proof buildings. "Everybody can't afford to bnild brick houses , " says our friend. If he can't build , lit him sell his lots to somebody that can , anc 1st him invert his money in some other locality. That is the law in every city that makes any pretentions ol being a city , and the law of seli preservation dictates that it should le the law in Omaha. The truth is , how ever , that the men who build shanties and tinder boxes on our business streets aieumerly capitalists men who want to squeeze the largest income oul ot the smallest investment. Look at Kacsas City. That town is built up almost entirely of brick and stone , and one reason why Kansas City is so far ahead of Omaha in population one wealth is beca-iao she discarded frame houses and built solid dwelling houses and store. . All this talk about a brick-makers ring is both. The brick-makers dcn't need nny rhi ? ; they haveall they can do , and we only wish there were more of them to make brick. Every brick house built in Omaha adds a pier un der our foundation as one o ! the grea cities of the west , and it is eimply su icidal to defer the extension of the fire limit law a single day. A conflagra tion during one of those furious wind storms that sweep across the city peri odically would lay two-thirds o Omaha in ashes , and the only sure preventatives of such a disaster are a fire limit and a system of watar works THE Republican prints a bogus esti faato of delegates fleeted eo far in tin state , evidently for The purpose of creating the impression that Grant is bound to carry Nebraska. The fol lowing 2s the score , according to the Republican : Grant. Xilaln Adams . 11 Buit . 2 3 Casa . ' . . 11 Dode ; . 2 0 Douglas . 2 15 Gage . 10 Hall { estimated ) . 3 -1 Johnson . . . 7 4. Lancaster . . ' 10 Lincoln . 2 Otoe . 11 Seward . 7 Total . 74 40 Now the fact is that neither Adam ? , Gage , Johnson , Lancaster , Seward or Otoo counties had held conventions when this estimate was nia3o and the returns from thosa counties wore merely scattering reports from pre cincts without any definite assurance in a single county abavo quoted as to the complexion of delegates elected in any ono of them. The only counties that have so fur elocloi delegates are Burl , Cass , Dodge , Douglas , Lincoln and Saline. These counties stand as follows : Total . 2 53 Conceding Adams and Otoo coun ties to Grant the tcoro would stand Elaine , 53 ; Grant , 24. The assump tion that Gage , Johnson and Sewarc counties are sure for Grant , has no better foundation than the attempt to give two votes from Douglas and two from Dodge when these delegations arc instructed by the conventions for Elaine. Lancaster County , which is put down for Grant " , has , as we understand it , elected a majority of delegates on Washburno tickets. There is as wide a difference bo- twean Washburne and Grant men as there is between Blaine and Grant. The Washburne delegates represent republicans who are unalterably op posed to the third term , but prefer Washburne to Blaine. THE Republican counts two votes for Grant in the Douglas delegation. Will the editor of that paper be good enouph to name those two mm ? We want the republicans of this county to know who they arc and how and why they were convcrted-to trie Grnt boom since the late convention. ' The Broken Chain. St. PiulFfcmeer-Prtts , JTay 7. The links are rapidly breaking of the chain olfsouthern states-which were relied on to bind the republican party [ ike a cactivo to the triumphal car of the third term. Mississippi , like Geor gia , wss counted solid for Grant. Of ta tixteen votes ten are forSherman md three are for Blaine , and Grant ; ets only the other three. Tennessee res counted solid for Grant , and the laim vh&a been generally conceded. .But , ona * test vote for chairman the , third , 'termers carried the - convention tion bya majority of only"ten on ; total . .vote of 520. Of the twenty Tiistricfc delegates Grant has fourteen. aad e has , perhaps , the four dele gates at large , thoush the Associated Preis assigns only two of these to Grant. . _ yf the twcn'y Wisconsin delegates Grant gats only one. Of the sixty delegates elected en Wedneiday from these states , Grant gets but nine teen. The remainder are for Blaine , Sherman , Washburne and Edmunds. Of the threa rapublican state conven tions held yesterday , New Hampshire gives all its ten votes to Blaiue , and New Jersey all its eighteen , v , "BIaTneT * TKe"resuirhad not "been re- ceived-atthis writing , but will doubt less apjpear in our telegraphic dis patches. The Gnmt and anti-Grant columns as they now appear in the score of delegates chosen , stand as follows it Grant. Auti-Qrant Arkansas . 12 . . . . California . 12 Georgia . 4 18 Connecticut . 12 Indiana . 28 Iowa . 22 Kansas. . . . , . - 10 Kentucky. , . , . 24 Massachusetts . : . 2 24 Mjssiasippi .

Rhode Island . > . ° South Carolina . 14 Tennessee . 18 6 Texas . 16 Vermont . 10 Virginia . . - . . . 22 Wisconsin . 1 1" Total . 285 267 From the Grant column it is safe to subtract twenty votes from Pennsyl vania and ten from New York , if ne cessary to defeat his nomination. It is also stated that several members of the South Carolini , Virginia and Ken tucky delegations will nut vote for him. But if he gets all these votes , he will still lack ninty-four of a nomination. Where will he get thfim ? Of the States yet to elect the following will certainly cast their entire vote against him. Delaware , G : Maine , 14 : Mich- ican , 22 ; Minnesota. 10 ; Nebraska. G ; Nevada , G ; West Virginia , 10. The only States in which he can hope to get any nioro votes are Alabama , of whosa twenty votes he may get half ; Florida , of whose eioht votes he may probably get four ; Louisiana , of whoso sixteen votes he may gel eight , though it is doubtful if he gets any ; and Illinois , of whose forty-two votes it is not possible he can secure more than thirty This would give him fifty two more votes , leaving him still forty-two short of the number requisite to nominate him. The time has evidently come when it will be expedient for General Grant to repeat the declaration he made in his letterto General Harry White , May 29 , 1875 I am not now , nor have I ever beer a candid a1 o for a renomination. ' . would not accept a nomination if i were tendered me , unless it shoulc come under such circumstances as to make it an imperative duty circum stances not likely to aiiie. Elkhorn Valley News.

He had settled at Montmartr and had thrown himself with grea spirit into tne agitation for the gener al election. In the difficult work o distributing relief , of organizing the national guard and of managing am balances , he accompliaho'd wonders. At the close of the siege he wa elected a deputy to the national assembly sombly andtaow represents Montmsr tra. He is a man of wealth and an accomplished physician. . When the Communzti insurrection broke out Dr Clemeocau had a difficult part to play.

Wonderful discoveries in thi world have been made Among other things where Santa Claua stayed , Children oft astif he makes goods or not , If really he lircs in a mountain of snow. Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Poll And suddenly dropped in towbatseemedlikeahole Where wonder of wonders they found a new land , While fairy-like beings appeared on each hand. There were mountains like ours , with more beautiful green , And far brighter skies than ever were seen , Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found , While flowers of exquitite fragrance were grow ing around. Not Ions wcre sylclt * ° wend r in doubt , A being soon came the/ had beard much about , Twas Santa Clans' self and th ilthey all say , He I eked like the picture r nee every day. t He drove up a team that looked very queer , Twos a team * f grasshoppers Instead of reindeer , He rode in a shell instead Pf a sleigh , But he took them on bo o and drove them He showed them all over hia wonderful realm , And factories making goods for women nd men. Furriers were working on hats great and small. To Bunco's tber said they were sending them all. Kris Einzle , the Glove ilaker , told them at once. All our Gloves we are sending to Bonce , SacU shoved them suspenders and many thin * * mere. Saying I alse took th M.to Mend Bunco's store. Santa Claus than whispered a secret he'd tell , Aa in On-aha every one knew Bunco well , He therefore should tend his goods to his care , Knowing his fritrtds will get their full chare. NOW remember ye dwellers In Omaha town. All who want presents to BuncVg go round , For shirts , collars , or cloves great and mall , Send your lister or annt oca and all. Ennc * .
