THE telegrams from abroad and tlio
comments of the foreign pr ° ss on the
attempt upon the president's lifo show
a very gratifying progress in the en
lightenment of Europe with regard to
American affairs. A generation ago
the crime would have produced the
impression , particularly in England ,
that everything was going to pieces in
the United States that the "institu
tions" of the country had at last re-
vcalod their inherent weakness ,
and that chaos and anarchy might
shortly bo expected. American stocks
would have fallen heavily on the
London'inarkot , and this of itself
would have had a strong tendency to
produce the state of affairs of whicli
it was expected to bo the consequence.
So .groat un advance has , however ,
'boon made since the war in an intelli
gent comprehension of the condition
ot things hero that the news excited
no nanio , and , curiously enough ,
brought buyers instead of Boilers to
the London Stock Exchange spec
Inters who , while nil knowing that
there wuti no reason for a serious fall
in stocks , hoped that other Rpocula
tors might know loss about the real
state of alfairs on this side of the
water than they did themselves.
IUISIIMEK are proverbially sensitive.
Several prominent Irish Atnuncftnsiiot
ably John Hush , have taken exception
to an article that appeared in the 13EP
a few days ago under the heading o
"Work for idle hands. " This article
they interpret as a slur upon Irishmei
generally and Irish Catholics in par
ticular. Tlio joke of the whole matter
ia that the offensive article was written -
ton by Mr. S. J. Ahorn ,
an Irishman and Catholic
. of prominence in the cast ,
who years ago contributed largely
toward Seton college , a Catholic semi
nary in Now Jersey , and other insti
tutions of that denomination. Air ,
Ahorn is now engaged in a scheme of
Irish Catholic colonization to the
" \Vest , and the offensive article written
: by him in furtherance of that object
fl waa by mistake inserted as an editorial
lin
torial instead of appearing as a communication

munication , as originally intended.

However , it was good enough for an
cdjtprial in any yapor , Mr. Ahorn
lias nothing to bo .ashamed of and
Ins BEE lias nothing to retract.

DEATH OF -SENATOR KITH-
CD OK.
The death of ox-Senator HITCH
COCK has produojd a profound shock
in Omaha , which will bo shared by
the entire slato. Up to the very
hour of his death this community was
ignorant of the ox-senator's illness ,
and none but his most intimate
faicnds were nwaro of his dangerous
condition. The announcement of
his sudden dccoaio comes , on this ac
count , with double force , and add * to
the general sorrow which is every
where felt and everywhere expressed.
Senator Hitchcock's services to Ne
braska as n territory and ntato ex
tended ever a long period of years.
Landing in this city in 1857 fresh
from his eastern homo ho quickly be
came identified with the interest * of
Omaha and entered with all
that untiring energy , which
WOT so characteristic of the
man , into every scheme for mak
ing her the metropolis of the Missouri
valley. As a representative in
botli hotiso9of congress , ho gave vital
ity to many measures that contribut
ed largely to the rapid development
of our state.
Among the measures that survive
him and for which the people of the
entire west ewe him a debt of grati
tude is the timber culture act , which
has given such an impetus to the
planting of millions of trees upon our
plains and will in duo time not only
provide our farmers witii cheap fuel
but cannot fail to favorably modify
our climate.
While frequently differing with ox-
Senator Hitchcock in his political
methods and often disapproving his
recommendation to oflico , THE BEE
bears willing testimony to an energy
that never flagged and -a brain that
wna always active when questions
affecting Omaha and Nebraska were
, .
ponding.
Above all things wo can commend
as a loading trait his unswerving fidel
ity to friends whom ho supported and
defended through good and evil report ,
in adversity as well as in prosperity.
It was largely this devotion to per
sonal and political friends which gave
ox-Senator Hitchcock such a strong
and devoted following. In this ho sot
an example that other political
loaders might omutato with profit.
Like all positive men who attach to
themselves many wflrm friends Mr.
Hitclicock in his political career en
countered a host of enemies but never
hauled down his colors oven when the
'fortunes of political war had turned
against 'him. The most admirable
tfttt \ of "Mr. Hitchcock's character
.war his devotion to hisJfamily , for
whom hd tr' a.iP..Jiie = iibUod the
warmest and. most . .tender affoc-
. < -4 | * S.h. * A '

tion. ' Takeu * jofr niMS'lficV pnmo
of' lifo iwhony'Vis > abilities
and oxjierienfco.could have been made
invaluable to Ins family and the city
and state , Senator Hitchcock's death
creates a void not cosily filled.
THE ALBANY STRUGGLE.
The weary routine of a daily ballot ,
followed by adjournment , which for
nearly six weeks has taken place at
Albany , v > as varied on Friday by a
caucus of the republicans , attended
by sixty-seven members of the legisla
ture. The stalwarts , as a body , refused
to attend , but enough republicans were
present , according to common usage ,
to bind the party by the result of the
caucus deliberations. In the con
ference which took place ,
Mr. Dopow's withdrawal as n
candidate for the sonatorship was an
nounced and the caucus finally settled
upon Warren Miller and E. Q. Lap-
ham as the nominees to bo presented
to the convention as the choice of the
republicans. It was hoped that the
action of the caucus would solve the
problem and that with Dopow nolong
'
or a candidate the stalwarts
would combine with the ad
ministration republicans in secur
ing the election of the caucus
nominees. The hope seems , however ,
to have boon ill founded. Saturday's
balloting failed to concentrate the
republican strength , although several
of Mr. Conkling's supporters changed
their votes to Millar and Lapham. It
is claimed , however , that to-day's bal-
letting will result in a choice and
tluit both Miller and Lapham will receive -
coivo a clear majority of votes cast.
Neither of the candidates are men
of national reputation ns statesmen
although both have had a largo legislative
lativo experience. Warner Miller
represents the Twenty-second districi
of New York in
Congress and was re
oloctod'last fall by a majority of 3,880
in a total vote of 35,098. Ho is 43
years of ago , graduated at Unjoii college
logo and fought through the rebellion
as colonel of a Now York regiment
In 1874 ho was elected to the Nov
York assembly and served two terms
acquiring a commanding infl uonco in th
House. Millorhos been from the outset
sot of his legislative career a strong
opponent of Senator Conkling , am
was ono of the original movori in th
anti-Conkling fight which boga
Bovoral years ago , Ho was also activ
gainst Cornell's humiliation in 187
and against Grant and the unit' ' rule at
Utica in 1880. During his congres
sional career ho was a warm friend of
General Garfield , and lias heartily
supported his administration. Perso
nally Mr. Miller ia said to bo quiet and
reserved , rfe is a paper manufac
turer and runs a mill in Horkimor.
Elbridgo Gerry Laphatn is a stal
wart and a great admirer of Mr.
Conkling , with whoso cause ho has al
ways been identified. Ho has served
thrco terms in congress from the
Twenty-seventh district , acquitting
himself with credit to his constitu
ents. Mr. Lapham is 07 years of ago.
Ho was born in Canandaigua , Now
York , and received a common school
education , served as a civil engineer
on the Michigan Southern railway ,
was admitted to the bar in 1844 , and
gained a sucpcsiful practice. Ho was
specially effective as a jury lawyer. In
180" ho was a member of the consti
tutional convention. Ho was elected
to the forty-fourth congress , serving
as a representative ever since.
Ho was a candidate in January against
Platt , receiving four votes. In the
present contest ho has been supported
on every ballot. At the outset ho
was a candidate for the long term , re
ceiving nine votes on the fourth bal
lot. On the next his strength was
transferred to the short term. On
the twenty-second ballot ho reached
Ins highest point , with twenty-six
votes.
NEBRASKA'S METROPOLIS.
The growing importance of Omaha
as the metropolis of Nebraska and the
entrepot for the trans-Missouri coun
try is forcing itself upon the attention
of the leading journals of thn cast as
. ,
it has long ago attracted the attention
of the great world of trade and com
merce. , , Saturday's Chicago Tribune has
the following to say of Omaha as a
commercial , centre : "No city west of
Illinois is growing faster or prospering
more finely than Omaha , Nob. Signs
of growth are evident on every side.
Building is going forward so rapidly
that brick is in scant supply. Many
fine now business blocks are building
on the main streets , and an opera
house and a largo hotel are in process
of construction. Hundreds of private
residences are being built. The city
has lately extended a mile southwest
towards Hanscom Park , and in the
last 1 ( four years it is said fully
500 dwellings have been put up
on Capitol hill. Besides the largo ho
tel already under way , a second now
otio tobo called the Grand Central ,
has boon contracted for , and will bo
completed by this time next ytfcr. To' '
add to the other good fortune of
Omaha , Nebraska is promised this
year the most abundant harvest per
aero of any state in the Union. - Indeed
deed , it is the only state from which
the ( reports indicate -much moro than
an average crop ; * The increase of
wh'cat , corn and oats otfor last year is
estimated fjjom | jr pppctir5 riW3S-tit-
40 millionbushels. Nebraska is ono
of the few' states whoso wheat crop
this season will materially exceed
that of last. A heavy fami-
gration has poured into the state dur
ing the past year , and thousands of
ngw farms have boon opened. Too
little attention has been paid to Om
aha and Nebraska by the merchants
of Chicago. All that country is nat
urally tributary to this city. It is
stated that a few wholesale establish
ments hero have already opened
branches in Omaha , but moro remains
to bo done in that direction , and the
people of the whole state should bo
afforded the best and cheapest facili
ties for getting at this , their natural
market. No point on the Missouri
river is moro important , and none
will bettor reward a careful cultivn
tion. "
A preacher turned politician is
usually n failure. This is clearly
shown by the contrast at present ex
hibited between the adjoining ropub-
ics of Haytiand | | St. Domingo. In
Hayti everything is proceeding quiet
ly aiulconstitutionally under the ad
ministration of the president , Gen.
Saloman. The government has ostab
liehod a now line of coasting steamers ,
under a concession to Mr. Rovioro. I
has also signed n decree approving o :
the establishment , at Port-au-Prince
of the Haytian National bank , charter
ed by a French company , with a capi
tal of 10,000,000 of francs for fifty
years. Its functions will bo idontica
with those of the bank of Franco , am
it will administer to the Haytiai
treasury. In the Dominical
republic , on the contrary
the executive is Father Merino , arcg
ularly-ordoinod priest. Though sue !
ho has taken upon himself to exorcise
the most formidable and terrible f unc
tious which has ever boon asiumoi
by a dictator in the worst periods o
history. Lately ho has issued a decree
croo abolishing the right of asylun
now enjoyed by political offenders
providing for the trial of disturbers o
the political institutions as conspira
tors by court-martial ; that every
citizen taken with arms in his hand
will bo Bontenood to death ; that th
ordinary tribunals will continue t
administer justice in civil and crimi
nal cases ; that a congress to moo
at the capital on August to revise th
constitution. It looks now as if th
Dominicans would soon bo ready fo
another revolt. A congress olocto
under this priestly dictator will hard !
bo an independent body.
Now Zealand is by no moans th
agricultural paradise as painted
glowing colors by English journalists
A correspondent of the London Dail ;
News writing from Nelson , N. 'A. ,
says : "Whoever in England , wheth
er farmer , tradesman , artisan , or la
borer , can by an honest nnd honora
ble means manage to keep a roof ever
his head , lot him by all means stop
whore ho is. The safest speculator in
this direction is undoubtedly the Brit
ish farmer with a moderate capital ;
but oven him , in | , view of the low
prices of produce here , I would advise -
vise to wait till wo see the effect of the
effect of the bettor times which have
already begun. "
The difference bctwoon the eastern
and western empress of China is
tore important than that 'twixt
wcedlo-dum and twccdlo-doo. The
alter is the smartest woman and also
ho ono who is alive , a quito impor-
.nt . distinction. They rule the oinpiro
ith the aid of the regent princes ,
10 emperor being still a minor. Gen.
'so ' , whoso successful campaigns and
onquosts in Knshgar have made him
lo'national hero , has now returned
o Pokin , and ia likely to give Chinese
iplomacy toward Japan and perhaps
ther power a moro atcctrcssivo tono.
A FEW years ago General Garfield
laid , "A pound of pluck is worth a
Ion of luck. " The president is now
'ulfilling his own remark by an exam-

matching lifo from the jaws of death.
