NOT many years back the Omaha
Herald assorted that Omaha was no
place for grain elevators and never
would bo. Now that far-sighted
shoot tells us that thcro is room here
for a do/on grain elevators , with a ca
pacity of half a million bushels. The
same paper tells us that barges will
play an important part during six
months of the year in transporting
grain down the Mississippi , but
barges can never bo floated down
the Missouri river. What , never ?
Suppose congress votes the necessary
means for removing the snags and
other obstructions in the Missouri
next winter , what is to hinder barge *
from carrying surplus grain down the
Missouri five years honco. This idea ,
that the three thousand miles of
waterway from Fort Denton down
to St. Louis can never bo utilized by
barge navigation , is simply preposter
ous.
Tin ; comet still continues to aston
ish the astronomers and the public.
Prof , Draper has discovered carbon in
the composition of the eccentric vis
itor , an element which the spectrum
baa hitherto refused to rovcal in any
other planetary body. The announce
ment is now made that the comet was
overtaken by an accident on the evening -
ning of the Cth , and dividing into
two parts is developing a now tail.
This statement may bo taken with a
grain of allowance when the report of
& San Francisco astronomer is consid
ered. According to that observer
two comets in cloau proximity aio
adorning the heavens , and that it is
the companion comet which wan seen
by uastorn astronomers and which de
luded thorn into believing that the
great and original comet has boon
splitting into suctions.

MAN AND WOMAN.
And Oed made two great light * : the
greater light to rule the day , nrul the
lower light to rule the night. Genesis ,
1 , xvi.
Those great lights known as the
sun and the moon each revolve in
their own orbit. Doth are essential
to our planetary system but the lessor
derives its radiance from the greater
light. The silvery moon is enchant
ing to beheld but it never can sup
plant the golden sun in its functions.
It is thus with man and woman. Both
are the works of a wise Creator each
to rule in their proper sphere ,
Woman is feminine in spirit an well
as in body. Mania masculine in in
tellect as well as in form , They nro
different yet complementary. Woman
is pre-eminently affectionate and emo
tional. Man is superior in clearness
of thought and coolness of judgment.
Both nro essential , and no humanity
could exist without both being pres
ent. Wifehood , motherhood , the es
tablishment , maintenance and devel
opment of homo , are woman's special
privilege.
Man , being physically the stronger ,
in the natural protector and guardian
of woman and the provider for his
family. As the head of the family
and the defender of his fireside and his
country , man by his inherent force has
exorcised political power for which
women are by physical functions un
fitted.
The deluded would-bo-reformcrs
that clamor for the political equality
of the noxcH , and demand the privilege
of voting at political elections for
women , seem to forget that political
rights carry with thorn political duties.
The right to vote carries with it the
duty to servo on juries , to hold office
nnd take up arms in defense of the
country. Women , by their peculiar
functional disabilities , are disqualified
by nature from serving on juries.
They are subject to frequent nervous
derangements , that totally unfit them
TOIII exorcising the dispassionate and
cool deliberation that is required in
the jury box in cases involving lib
erty , or oven life. Married women
charged with the cares of family could
not conveniently discharge their du
ties , and would very often bo unable
to exercise the right of suffrage if it
wore granted them.
Even the most masculine women do
not pretend that they would submit
to military service ; and yet all gov
ernments necessarily rest upon bay
onets. ftYhat would this government
amount to it it wore not able to put
down riots and rebellions , and defend
tsolf by force of arms against foreign
invasion ? What would American cit-
zonship amount to if the republic
could not punish outrages upon Amor-
can citizens wherever and by whom
soever committed ?
It is to manhood , ready at all times
o spring to arms in defense of the na-
ional Hag , that the republic looks as
.ho bulwark of freedom and the guar
dian of liberty and it is not only
'ust , but absolutely necessary that
nan should exercise sovereign politi
cal powers and responsibilities. The
mllot box must bo in the same hands
that carry the cartridge box. But
.ho fact that our laws discriminate in
'avor of man by depriving women of
the elective franchise does in no
way prevent her from the pursuit of
liappinoss. A true woman will fool
just as happy and contented with her
father , brother and husband in charge
of the ballot box as if she hadahandin
it herself. It is the height of presump
tion for women to assort that they
cannot trust this government in the
hands of fathers , brothers and hus
bands who have made this republic
respected and feared by all the na
tions of the earth. Men have founded
the free institutions of Amor-
lea. Mon have established this
republic by the force of arms , and
they have preserved it for future gen
erations , by fighting for the Union.
All the talk about the consent of the
governed ia bosh. The confeder
ates never gave consent to the aboil-
tion of slavery , or the perpetuation of
Lho Union , but they were compelled
to consent when their armies surren
dered. The
southern women never
liavo given their consent and
they probably never will but
they are not likely to sot up a govern
ment of their own until they are able
to fii'ht down the loyal men of this
coutry. The great mass of men and
womou will continue in their natural
relations to each other and those who
seek to subvert the existing order
might as well undertake to dispense
with the sun and lot the moon take
iU placo.
A GOOD INDICATION.
One of the boat indications of the
qonoral prosperity of Nebraska is the
universal contentment of now settlers
and the small number of departures
from claims to other states and terri
tories. Our formers have never boon
bettor satisfied with the rosourcss of
the state than at present , and are too
busily engaged lu harvesting and pre
paring to harrost bounteous crops to
pay inuoh attention to delusive stories
of riohot lands and bottoj time * in
other ( actions of the country ,
Every portion of th iUU tends IU
vrord of che ? ovortha good proipoots ,
and nearly every town and riling *
gtvoa Indications of a substantial im
provement and growth , which haa fet
ito buta a oiT < pondlig giowlh ud
improvement inthesurrounding farms.
The chronic grumbler scorns to have
retired to the background , and gives
way to other more industrious and
therefore more successful and content
ed citizens.
Nebraska farmers are Urn backbone
of the commonwealth. With their
success h bound up the prosperity
of o\ory enterprise and industry in
state. Their misfortunes moan stag
nant towns , depressed business in tor-
eats , and unemployed labor. Every
cheering report from our worthy agri
culturists is good news to ovcrv mer
chant , mechanic and laborer in the
state. It ia therefore a genuine satis
faction to learn that a prosperous sen-
no n for our farmers seems assured in
every section of the state.
Southern Nebraska will retain her
reputation for fertile soil , intelligent
agriculturists and splendid crops.
Along the valley of the Ho-
publican nothing but cheering
indications of a good harvest is heard.
Northern Nebraska will astonish oven
licr friends , if wo mistake not , at the
close of this season's harvest , and un
occupied claims will bo as scarce on
her fertile valleys next year as they
are in the valleys of the Blue and No-
maha. Universal contentment and
universal prosperity RO hand in hand ,
and Nebraska at present can boast of
both.
TUB publishers of Scribncr' Month
ly announce several important addi
tions to the magazine. Ilichard
Grant White , who has written upon
"Words nnd Their Uses , " the uses
covering pretty much every use that
words can bo put to , is going to write
of tmusic , upon which ho haa been
more or loss an authority for years ,
tie is an amateur performer of some
note. The Scribner folks have done a
great deal for the fine arts and they
will bo valuable in supplementing
Theodore Thomas on Doctor Darn-
rosch.
IT has been said that Wall street
is heartless. That little subscription
of 8250,009 raised by Now York
merchants and bankers for Mrs. Garfield -
field gives the ho to the assertion. It
was the act of nature's own noblemen
and America can well afford to point
to it with pride.
Mr. . GOULD has contributed $5,000
to the presidential fund which will bo
given by NOW York merchants to Mrs.
Garliold. This charity of the rail
road king will bo entered on the crod-
t side of Ids moral ledger.
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The Gorman-Ohincso commercial
; roaty signed at Poking In Marchlast ,
s now being considered by the Gor
man Bundorsrath. It is a revision of
the treaty of 1861 and \ exceedingly
'avorablo ' to Germany. In 1861 there
were in China ID , 670 coasting and
outward bound vessels with a capacity
of 6,000,000 tons ; of these 827C were
English , 3G92 American and 2248
Gorman. But in 1879 , when the ar
rivals and sailings of vessels in China
were 21,490 (14,000,000 ( tons ) there
were only 1907 Gorman against
10C09 English ships ; America ,
with 31 vessels , having fallen
'ar in the roar. By the
provisions of the now treaty several
now Chinese ports and rivers nro
opened to Gorman trade. Tonnage
dues are diminished , in so far as the
onnago which hitherto had to bo paid
for every four months ; henceforth is
: o bo paid only twice a year. China
agrees to an improved lighting of the
Chinese coasts and riyors , and the re
moval of all obstacles to shipping , no
tonnage duos to bo paid by Gorman
vessels entering a port for repairs ,
Freedom from import duos for mate
rials of vessels repairing , and free
dom from import dues of raw ma
terials , machinery and tools used
tor Gorman docks , the ereotio'n of
free ( bonded ) warehouses , reduction
in the export duties on Chinese coals.
It also grants permission to foreigners
to work the Chinese coal mines , and
promisosan effuctlyo protection against
piracy oa the coasts of China , and
protection of the lives and property
of Gorman subjects in the interior of
the Chinese empire. The treaty is a
striking evidence ; of the high esti
mation in which the Gorman empire
ia hold by the Celestial empire.
The applloatlons of olootrio light
seems to bo numberless. Experi
ments In the applications of eloctrio
lighting to coal mines have lately
been made in England and with valu
able resulta. The Pleasly pits , near
Mansfield , were chosen for the pur
pose. ' They are about 1,600 foot deep.
The Swan system of lights was used.
It seems to reiomblo Edison's inven
tion in ionic roapoct , and consists of
a filament of carbon in a email and
exhausted receiver. It ia essential
that the light used in coal mines bo
kept free from contact with the sur
rounding air. The
Swan lamp la to
constructed that , in case of fracture ,
the carbon will bo instantly consumed
before the flame oould be communica
ted to the outei air. The oov light
WM found to ba admirably amlUd to
the requirements of the wotken. The
electric llxht would very much dlmiu-
bh if it did not wholly do away with
the danger of explosions of fire-kamp.
If Ediaon'a Bubdhlsion of the light It
of oouw M
bo a more question of time when all
the coal mines will bo illuminated by
electricity , and the efficiency of the
workers thereby much promoted.
Austria's rapid road to ruin is chief
ly caused by its inordinate thirst for
military glory , for which it never had
the moans to pay. Since 1879 there
has not been a single year in which
lior revenue haa come up the expendi
tures. The accumulated deficits from
1851 to 1888 amounted to 8050,000-
000 , and is still going. The deficits
between 1870 and 1877 have
amounted to nearly 585,000,000.
Her debt has grown from
$625.000,000 in 1848 to $1,955,000-
000 in 1880. The most unsatisfactory
outcome of all this is that , notwith
standing these enormous expenditures
on her army , aho has , during this
period of waste and extravagance , lost
her Italian provinces and been badly
whipped by Prussia She still keeps
up her show of military grandeur , and
is reorganizing the army with a view
to having its war footing amount to
lOCi,025 rank and file , with 31,808
olliccrs , and 188,107 horses.
Gambctta is now seriously consid
ering whether the French senate is at
present constituted is not imrepub-
lican in its character. Ho is led to
this vierr by its rejection of his elec
toral scheme after its laboriously
achieved pansago through the chamber
of deputies. In a republic the popu
lar will , as expressed at regularly re
curring elections , ought to bo supreme
premo ; but it can not bo so in Franco
under the present constitution , any
more than it can bo in Great Britain
so long as the House of Lords re
mains. Hence , in the latter country
the liberals are constantly working to-
words the abolition of their upper
house , composed of lords , who hold
their seats by hereditary grace ,
and of bishops who hold
theirs by grace of appointment.
Gambctta is determined to make n
thorough fight for the thorough
amendment of the senate , using all
his energies towards the abolition of
the lifo sonatorship , as utterly incompatible
patiblo with the full expression of the
popular will. This change can , of
course , bo accomplished only by a
constitutional convention ; and it is
strange that a largo number of these
who call themselves republicans oppose -
pose Uambotta's proposition to change
the cqntitution of the senate.
It would seem that the French
ought to have a little difficulty in pro
viding for a senate that would as
fairly represent the people as the
Chamber of Deputies , for Franco docs
not labor under the difficulty which
still sticks to our country , whore wo
must elect two senators from every
state , no nwyfter howsmall , or large it
may bo. The French departments
and colonies could elect senators
either by a direct vote of the people
or else by an intermediate body as
with us without such gross inequali
ties of representation as exist in our
sonato. The chief use of such an
upper house in a parliamentary body
is , of course , to place , when needed ,
a chock on the legislation of the lower
house without annulling it perman
ently. Hence the senators are elected
for a longer time than the representa
tives , nnd by their small number are
surrounded with a greater dignity.
There seems little prospect of a re
newal of the commercial treaty be
tween England and Franco. The
chief point of difference is the substi
tution which the now French tariff
makes of specific for ad valorem du
ties. The English strenuously object
to this , as the change would boar BO
heavily on their low-pricod woolens
and cottons , and on all cheap goods ,
as to bo practically prohibitory.
Franco insists that the specific duties
shall bo adhered to. In the chamber
of deputies on Saturday M. Tirard ,
minister of commerce , said that Eng
land could not prevail upon Franco to
alter her decision , and "this difficulty
had now stopped the negotiations , "
Borne of Sir Charles Dilkos' recent
itatomonts in the house of commons
indicate that the English government
have so far yielded ns to consider sys
tems of classification for these cheap
goods such 03 would allow a continu
ance of trade in thorn ,
even under a specific duty.
This amounts practically to the
abandonment of the stand for ad val
orem rates , though the government is
by no means prepared to admit as
much. No doubt the French commis
sioners rely much upon the necessity
which tko English are under of con
cluding some kind of a treaty , and
that very soon. The now general tar
iff law was promulgated May 1. The
present duty expires six months from
tliat date November 1. If no new
treaty is concluded by that time , Eng
lish imports will bo taxed according to
the provisions of the general law ,
which would make the duties some 2u
per cent , higher than under a treaty.
The advantage of position , therefore ,
rosta with the French , and they moan
to hold it , M U shown by M. Tirwd's
remark , apropoa of the bill authoriz
ing the government to prolong existing
ttcatie * thro months with power *
wbick are likely to conclude now tre-
tie * , that "it would be nadrinable to
eooourago resistance by granting too
long a delay , " Th * uncertain ti of
the present situation must have a bad
effect on English trade , as it would bo
manifestly unwise for English manu
facturers to make contracts which
might become ruinously unprofitable
in a few months by the failure of the
treaty negotiations , All this tends to
spread and ripen in En-land the dis
position to demand retaliatory duties.
