THE Omaha Herald takes occasion to insult Secretary Schurz , and in forms its readers that it is no matter of public concern what may become of Carl Schurz in the whirl of politi cal whirligigs. The Jltrald being professedly an opponent of Mr. Soburz's party il has at least that cx- cuco for its slurs upon one of the ablest cud purest cabinet officers who has ever filled the position ot secretary of tbo interior. But what excuse can be offered for the slurs and inuendoes which the republican monopoly cap per has flung at the head of Carl Schurz during the campaign which is now endid. Ex-Senator Hitchcock may find it agreeable personally to throw mud at a cabinet officer nho despises him for his cor rupt connection with an equal ly corrupt Indian ring , with whoho transactions no one is bet ter acquainted than Secretary Schurz , but by so doing ho neither advance1 In'a own interests at homo or gains weight abroad Mr. Schurz entered 1 3 'resident Hayes' cabinet under try ing circumstance ? , and the manner in which he has fulfilled his trust is no less creditable to himself than to the ndmtnhtrhtion , of which ho has been > no of the mcst respected nwd trusted cabinet officers.

In no Eection of the United States , av the present Jimp , ara tha ruinous effects of raid-cat speculation EO c arked EB in California The oastcin a atcs have learned a dearly bought ICFSOU from the pant : of 1873. In vestments are rondo with moro cau tion. Dividend paying stocks sre c mm&nding high premiums. Oher stcclsB are becoming neglected , and many have been virtually retired from the market. The sudden spirt cf the mining boom has subsided , and capital is interesting itself only in euch properties as hold out good promise of quick returns on the in v &tment. " California , on the con trary , is fctill hugging the delusions of her flush days. Hundreds of unpro ductive mines , buoyed up by fictitious reports of future bonanzas , are kept on the boards pcrcly for the purpose of enriching n few- favored ofikials , by means of the assessments levied oa their stockholders. These facts arc known and commented upon by the leading journal * , but fill to check tbe spirit of epsculation which finds a i outlet in present investments in sbaky properties in the hope of future 1 rgo profits. Tne consequence of this state of affairs la the neglect of otho and moro important industries. It i cilculatedH.hatthe people of San Fran Cisco alone are called upon for nuarly $1,000,000 a month , to pay assess- mcnts on mines in various parts of the Pacific slope. The same amount of money invested in any other busi- - noifi , such aa manufactures or agriculture - ture , would bring a new era of pros- prity to the coast and gain in bulk from year to year , while the present j > lan of ( linking such vast sums in worthless speculation is a drain on the roHourc63 of the state -which brings no , . recompense. The effect of suih reckless squandering of wealth makes Califor nia to-day an anomaly among the states. It is a land where the line be tween poverlyand wealth is as strongly drownasjinEnglandor on thecontinent It is a state of bonanza kings and im- pDrersBhed workingmen. It possesses fewer manufactories to its. population than stiy other state of its wealth in the Union. It supports a nnmber of speculative mining enterprises con ducted upon the most prodigal methods of expenditure and fails tc , furnish adequate employment to large ! number of ita own working people. The rninous spirit of speculation ( which possesses its monied men it responsible for a largo part of the lov ( ebb of prosperity undej which the state to-daj Euffew. If California would learn the lesson by which other parts of the country have profited and , while fo3- tcring legitimate mining enterprises uovota her surplus wealth to agricul ture and manufacture , the Golden Gate would enter up6"a an era of good times strongly in contrast with her present commercial depression. A DEAD DUCK. The Chicago Tuna isn't inclined "to lay the defeat of the democracy to John Kelly , Sam. xilden or even tc BUI Barnnm. It traces the causes of the result to cur public schools , our - text books , Ihe memory of the war , to the fact that the youth of the na tion are republicans and will remain no r-s long as "elavery and the war linger in the memory of Americans. " It siys "tho republican party is ideally identified with emancipa tion and the war. Therefore , is the youth of the country incapable of bo log democratic. Consequently the democratic party can never win a na tional victory. Its old men are dying away. The boys who catch the bal lots that fall from their stiffened hands are republicans. " It maintains that all other causes which have operated to thin out the democratic ranks and to strengthen republicanism are insignifi cant beside the one tremendous fact that the curse of slavery has poisined the blood androttedtheboiio'of democ racy ; that "thomalediction of the war has palsied its brain. " We quote a couple of paragraphs : The young wife who held the babe up to kiss the father cs he hurried to the tap of hit departing regiment has not suckled a democrat. Tbe weary foot of the gray grandmother who watched the children while the wife was busy has not rocked the cradle of democrats. The chair that the sol dier father never came bscktn fill has not been climbed upon by democrats. The old blue coat that his comrades carried back was cut for little jackets , but not ona In closed the heart of a democrat. The children go to school. There is not a democrat on its benches. The first reader contains the portrait of Abraham Lincoln that kind and sturdy face never made a democrat On its simple pages , in words of onoor two syllables , is told the story Of his birth and death. The story never made a democrat. In the pranks of the play-ground the name silences the frolicsome and mnkei the jolhest grave. That name never made a democrat. Don't You Forget it. Let the Omaha Republican make a note of the fact that its Lieutenant Governor Cams was left behind 501 on the republican majority in this county. [ Seward Reporter. Yes , we've made a note of It. And the republican party of the stite has made a note of the bolt against ihe p rty candidate made in Douplas and Saline counties as well as Saward. These chickens will come homo to roost some of these days. [ Omaha Republican , g And wo advise you not to forget it e hor- That vote in Saward county thould bo a gentle reminder to you that the people will not alwcys be ruled by a railroad corparation. And if the Union Pacific railroad has any political sagacity it will understand that the time has arrived when it should step outside of politics and let the people run its own affiirs. The Republican is fed by this corporation. Us editors arc upon the railroad py - roll and it is not surprising that they squirm when any thing is said that is calculated to ruffle up the fur of their lieutenant governor. [ Seward Re porter.

Progressive Indications. Correspondence of The Cee. ODDEST , Utah , November 15. Two very important enterprises have been agreed upon by the cily council dur" ! ng the past two or three days.'HA. sontract has been arranged with a iorporation known aa the Ogden water ornpaoy , by which aiid coinpsny re- elves a franchise and monopoly for wecty-fivo years for supplying our zjnn with water for domeBtic , fire , nd mechanical uses. The mountain ireama and springs have such a high eading that almost any pressure re- uired can be obtained , and the BVB- em contemplates the conveying * of water into storage reservoirs by meani .if pipes and ditchap , from which it will be piped to various parts of the ciy. All the available water is of pure streams and settling will not be equired. The streams and springs are all claimed by individuals and ir- lighting companies , and there will doubtless be a c" 'cat over the title to auch water , rl3h ra y deter the works , others" ' hey will be in full operation will ihe next year. The franchise wa t en by the cily coun cil without the knowledge or content of the citizens , and there is likely to arise an opposition to UB terms and a test of the legality of the compact. The Brush electric light company have , secured a contract to light a portion tion of the city by elevated lights. For the sum of three thousand dollars par annum , the company are to illu initiate a space one mile in diameter. Thy plan is to erect a high tower in a central position to support a largo number of burners , and then threi other towers will be placad on specla streets. It is claimed that these lights will enable a person to see the time indicated by his watch at a pom one half nv.lo away from the illumin ators , and close to them it will ba as light as d y. Besides this public il luminator , stores , etc , are to be light - ed to that of daylight , at a coat of S132 00 per year. Machinery has 1 been ordered and will baput in motion ' as soon as possible , and will ' doubtless be in fu.l operation 1 by the first of next Foburary. The power that supplies the electric ! li ht at night will bo used through the 5 day for driving shops and mills. Steam is to be the motor. Salt Lake ! City is to Inve the private system of flectric lights through an organization . known na the Salt Like City Electric Light and Power company. The en gine will be centrally located and pow er rented-through the day to factories. ? The city council refused to give public encouragement to the electric light ) although offers were made far below the present cost of lighting the streets with gas , and it is claimed that the city ring own stock iivthe gas com - pany. , Ogden had a rousing jollification over the elsctioi of Garfield as prfsi- ront. We , as ic jblicam , have little to svy or do in i. < .tioml affairs outside of sending delegate ! ID the national c'mveation once in four years. Squab * bias over these delegates have kept tie ! party divided in two portions for yow , and after the sgnal : victory in the late election : t was deemed well to have a grand rally. Two band ? , with torches pawdei the streets and collected an irnmeusa crowd in front of the theatre , where tjey witnessed bonfire" , colored lights and a fine dis play of fireworks , . lid the boom of cannons and line npislo of the two bands. After this ho theatre was tilled to overflow u i and several speeches , much miisc and cheering occupied the evening u Jtil a late hour. The ufliir was a gran j success in every feature. Building still progresses in our city , the weather remaining favorable for laborers. Daring the night the thermometer gets down ten or twelve degrees below freezing and in the day time rises to twenty above that point , whla : the air is clear and bracing. Last year we had nearly two month ? of cold weather before this time , and now cannot cay we have really had any winter this season. A more pleas ant climate than that of this , the great Silt Like valley , would ba hard to find. find.The The shipments of precious metals from Salt Lake City for the week end ing Nov. 12th foots up to a grand total of 5101.669.11. The amount of bullion that passes through Ogden , cowing from Montana and Idaho , probably swells the ship ments through Ogden to nearly double the above sum. All sent from Salt Like City passes through Ogden. Much work has beeu done in mines near Ogden this seasonand the future outlook is bright in that direction , but as yet me are rot sending out-eras. INaw leads arc being found and the h 11s are still being prospacted. J. Immigration , i'hiladelphia Kccord. Within the last half century up wards of ten millions of immigrants Invo come into tin United States , a-id the stream ia still flowing hither with no signs of abatement. The in- dica'ions are , on the other hand , that this graat movement is to reach a large ly increaed volume , and in some quarters the fact excites alarm. It i seriously suggested that a seasona ble halt shall be called to a migration hose very magnitude gives it in the eyes of mnny timid people the appear- .v.ics of an invasion. So far as it may ba needful to guard against the ex portation from foreign countries to our nhorcs of criminals and paupers it would undoubtedly be well tointer- pose restrictions upon immigration. There is , however , but little ground For apprehensions of this sorter or for narrowing the liberal vows which have heretofore charcc- terized our policy in this regard. The percentage of the dangerous or bur- lensome social element which has aeon infused into our population from ibroad is exceedingly small. So far as concerns political criminals who come among us from ihe Old World , i heir vocition aa rebels or revolution ists ceases immediately upon landing on our soil. They find no auch abuses ic-ro to fight as incited them to mchinations against the governments snder which they were born , and they peedily become quiet and loyal clt- zons. Others , doubtless , whom ard necessity drove into in- factions of the law at liome , lave found it possible here to live icnest livesandhavo therefore turned > ver a new leaf and ceased to pray up- n those around them. A similar re * -.ovation of character has bjen wrought 10 doubt in the instances of thousands f very p-or persons , dependent per- iaps upon friends or relative , ' , who ng foot on the wharves of oar o.aboard cities well-nigh utterly dis- a u raged and without a dollar in their ? ckets , have at once found work at ving wag s , and so taken heart of epa to ba thenceforward sell-sup- o'tins and self-respecting rrembers of ociety. The deportation of their paupers al criminals to thla country hy for- 5 n \varumentajsnpta wholesome be for the states which thus relieve themselves of a bad surplus popula tion. We cannot afford to take the chances of reforming these castaways and making good citizens out of them. It will not do for other nations to utiliza the United States as a penal colony or an almshonse. The New York Tribune of. yesterday contains a very long and interesting letter from. Mr. flyers , our consul at Zurich , Switzerland , in which the evils of unregulated immigration and naturalization are graphically set forth , and a modification of the exist ing laws and treaties on the subject is proposed. The suggestion is worthy of being well considered. Care should be had , however , in any action that may be taken in this matter by the national authorities to oppose no bar rier to the inflow of either foreign capital or labor. The country needs both. There is abundant scope in this broad land for the profitable in vestment of millions upon millions of dollars , and there is hardly any end of room for people. There is no danger that the country will get filled up too soon. The United States must keep the latch-string outside the door. PEOEIAN PURSUITS , The Almighty Dollar "First , Last and all the Time.
