"While some of the fea ture * of thi * fexw arc unreasonable and ubnoxioun , it becomes the duty of the law oflicers nnd courts to enloico its provisiona M far as tlioy c.in i > ract5- cally 1 enforced , until the law mak ing poorer nhall either repeal or modi fy it. The best way to et rid of a bad IAW is to cnforco it. If any of the prinisioim > f this law prove to bo detrimental to the public interest or injurious to private rights , after a fair trial , the le islattiro will repeal or modify them. Thin will doubtless bo the position of Mayor Uoyd , upon whom , as chief executive olliccr of thip city , devolves the duty to enforce the laws , within llio cor poration limits. In the disch.iigo of this duly the major of Omaha and our police authorities should have the support of all law abiding citi/ons. Whether Ihis law can bo strictly en forced in n city like Omaha is , how ever , n serious problem. In Chicago , where they have a very moderate and reasonable license law , thcro are said to bo about ono thousand dives and resorts that pay no license and manage to keep up the traflic in liquors in do- fiancoof the law. Whether this is owing to the connivance of the police or the sharp practice of the liquor dealers , wo do not know. It is pieauinablo that the same tac tics will bo pursued in Omaha , more especially in viuwof the fact that very few of our liquor dealers can comply with the iion-clad provisions of the Slocumb law , even if they have the necessary § 1,000 to plank down with their application for license. Had the lugislntiiro simply enacted a law fixing 1,000 as the annual liceiiHO for retailing malt and spirituous litjiiors , there would have jheen very little kicking , although such high license w'onld inevitably build up a monopoly in thu liquor trallic. But the Slocnmb bill con tains many nmc.isoiublo piovisions with which very few dealers can allot d to comply , and moit of thorn never can comply. Sections ( ! and 7 , IB and It ) , of the act , lead aa follows : Sec. ( i. No pel son shall be licensed to neil malt , spirituous or vinous li quors by any county board , or the an- thoiities of any city or village , unless ho shall first give bond in the penal sum of live thousand ( $5,000) ) dollars , p.yyablo to the utato of Nebraska , with at least two good and siiflicient sureties , freeholders of the county in which the license is to bo granted , to bo approved by the board who may bo nuthoiucd to issue the license , conditioned th.it ho will not violate any of the piovisions of this act , and that ho will Day all damages , fines and penalties and foifeit- 'ires which may bo adjudged against him under the provisions of this act. The boaul takingsiiclibond may examine any person ofi'cicd as secur ity upon any such bond , under oath , and lequirc him tosubsciihoandsncar to his statement in regard to his pe cuniary ability to become such secur ity. _ Any bond taken pursuant to this section may be sued upon for the use of any person , or his legal represent iitivea , who may bo injured by reasoi of the soiling or giing away of any intoxicating liquor by the person so licensed , or by his aguntor servant. See. 7. No person who is holden a the piineipal or surety upon any bom given under the piovisiouw of the preceding ceding section , fhiUl be peimittcd ti become a sutoty upon any other bond of like eliaiactor. Sue. IB. The poihons HO license shall pay nil damages that the commu nity or individuals may mislaid in con sequence of such tralllo ; ho shall sup , . poit nil paupers , widows and orphans and the expenses of all civil and ciim inal piosoentions giow ing out of , 01 justly attributed to , his tiaflic in in toxicating drinks ; said damages and expenses to bo recovered in any court of competent juiisdiclion by any civil action on the bond named and re quired in section U of this act , n eopv of whichprooily _ authenticated , uliul'l bo taken in evidence in any court of justice in this state ; and it shall bo the duty ot the pi oper clerk to deliver , on demand , such copy to any person who may claim to bo injured by such tratlic. Bee. 10 , All suits for damages and expenses arising under this nut may bo coinmencud and prosecuted before a justice of the peace , where the dam ages claimed do not exceed the juris diction of said justice , although the penalty in the bond may exceed that amount , and the judgment shall bo for the damages proven. Few persons will dare to assume the extra hazardous risk of becoming bondsman for any dealer in malt or spirituous liquors under such a law. AH n consequence the prudent and ; moat raapcctablo dealers will go out of business , while the incsponsiblo keep- ! era of low dives and doggories will defy the law and run the lisk of an occasional airestand fine , . The first step toward enforcing the now license law in Omaha w ill have . to bo taken by our city council. An 01 dinanco conforming to the pun isiont of the Slocumb law will have to be passed. Until that is done no license can bo granted , and every dealer ii a liquors will bo liable to prosecution for selling without license under tin now law. Even after the council has patsee edb ( lie ordinance no license can bo obtained > bho : tained in less than two weeks , as tin law requires the publication of r notice for nt least two weeks that ap plication ] has boon filed for a license Should fhero ba objections to anj application further delay will necea fiarily occur. Parties \\h procurcc license for the present jcar under the old law vvillhavo to go through the same process as if no license had been granted them. The new law wont into effect on Iho second of Juno , and no license issued hcjnnd that date is valid. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. England is becoming alarmed over the freedom which she has allowed her colonies in their financial and commercial morcial affairs. The greatest objection urged against the pi uncut system la that it permits the colonies to put in practice protective tariffs which not only acts lo Iho injuryof Cheat Britain but also some of her colonies which re tained a more liberal policy. Two ycais ago Etrl Gray insisted that a great mistake had been made in al lowing Ibis freedom , and leceiitly Mr. Bailer Powell recommended thai meas ures bo taken for the roasaumplion by the imperial parliament of all meas ures t elating to the commerce ami trade of the empire. Until the ye.ii 1815 Ihc power of Iho Hritish pallia moiit nver the customs and revenue1 of her polonies was absolute ; and the not produce of her duties and import were paid into the English exchequer. This power has never been contested except in the case of the Ameiicai colonies ( now the United Slates ) , ant Iheii Iho right of parliament to regu late commerce was distinctly allowed but when the object was levcnues tin , colonies resisted. In 1815 the com mercial policy of Great Britain was entiiely changed'and Iho next year the colonial legislatures Weio ompnwuci to adopt measures , with the sanctioi of the crown , for Iho icpeul of any o : the protective duties which had heretofore toforo been imposed by imperial uctd upon foreign goods imported into sail colonies a power of which Cauad. hastened to avail herself. The repeal in 181 ! ) by the imporm parliament of the navigation laws re moved another great obstiuction t hade , and Iho heiiolHs of this icpea weio extended to the colonies. Will freedom of tiado the colonies wen allowed fieodom in regulating the ! local affairs , and in 1850 , in the rule and logulatioii for her majesty's col onial soivice , the liberty of the col onies lo lognlato their trade and tniill' free frco from imperial control was ex prcssly stated. There is noliinitatioi to this liberty other than that then shall bo imposed no differential dntie BO as to give grcatoT privileges ti foreign over British trade or sucl duties as would in any way conflic with hoaties entered into by the nn porial pailiamcnt with other powers It could bo easily conjectured that'th authority of the imperial parliamon would bo no longer excited to sccur a uniform commercial system through out the the empire , except with regar to differential duties and treaty obli gallons ; and in the case ot Now /.on land the rule on differential duties ha been somewhat lelaxed. "Her Majesty's Ministers" have however , retained the privilege "making Known their wishes" to th colonial governments , but this reservation vation is but of litllo cllicacy in check ing colonial legislation. When th taiilfof 185 ! ) was imposed by Canndr some of the manufacturers of Shcfiicl d desired the colonial secretary , at tha t time the Duke of Newcastle , to pro test against it , w ith a view to its re > peal. The sociotarydid protoat , hi it Mr. Gall , the finance minister of C.u ada , said that "Mer Majesty vaunt bo advised to disallow such acts ( the taiill'measures ) unless her advisors are prepared lo assume Iho adminis tration of Iho affairs of Iho colonies irrespccth o o the views of its inhabi tants , " and the secretary yielded , A like icsult followed when the secro- laiy of state for the colonies was asked to disallow the "Canadian policy. " From this brief review it may bo seen that the imperial parliament has gradually parted with its power lo regulate the financial and coiumeicial concerns of her colonies , and under the circumstances it would bo unwise for parliamon t to altempt in any way to curtail the freedom that the colonists have obtained. The land bill , with the amendments of the House of Lordshasboen | consid ered by the commons and recommit ted to the lords. The government has steadfastly refused to submit to the mutilations of the measure made at thu instance of the Karl of Salis- buiynnd the lin\o of Aigyll , with the exception of a single amendment ex- - eiupting farms where improvements had been made by the lundloid in stead of the peasant. A long and weary contest is likely to ensue if the committee of conference which will bo appointed by the two houses fail to ngreo upon a compromise. Mr , Gladstone announces hiu detormina- lion to stand or fall by the success of his measure. If an appeal is made to : the country and a now house of coin- menu elected the liberal strength can hardly bo diminished and is HUoly tea bo increased. Under the circum stances , with the risin < > feeling in fa - vor of curtailing the piivilegcs of the upper house , it is difficult to see how a the lords can decline to pass u measure - - ure which is backed by the full force of English public opinion. Peru seems to bo slowly recuperat - ing from her desperate condition. Dolivi lins withdrawn her support of Iho ex-dictator , Picrola , and Iho reli election of President Caldeion tends to simplify the relations of the three republics. Ho is said to possess the cntiro confidence of his countrymen and will have their earnest support in the effort to snlisfy the demands of Chile. The slmpo which these de mands will assume , there inn IHJ tin doubt , is the mil render ofa portion of a portion of Pcriiviui tcriifory , Peru will have to yield , as Franco Imd to yield Ahfico-Lomine , because there is no help for it. The CSorlimu elections' will tuko place at thu end of September , nnd both conservatives and liberals are wet king hard to insure the success of rival claims. Iho contest is wax ing hotter and hotter every week. Hisinaick's literary bureau is doing excellent work and carrying on an ng iessi vo naif uro against the liberals with violent attacks on their leaders , past and present. It is dani gcrons to personally assail the chan cellor and so the opposition tactics ate defensive and free from personali ties. With a vjott to preventing a conservative majority the liberals have opened negotiations among the factions of their own party to secure united support in each district to the liberal candidate who appears lo have Iho grcalcst clmnco of being elected. On the other hand , Prince Bismark is issuing electioneering manifcctocs in the slmpo of telegrams and letters to consorvalives all over the empire , an4 pits the socialism of the state against the ideality of the social dem ocrats. There IB nothing , however , in this political ferment to particularly interest outsideis. There seems lo bo nothing in it but a struggle for as- coulancy. The conservatives appear to conserve nothing but the particular will of Prince Dismal ck , nnd the lib erals aio highly illiberal , for the i'nst plank in their unwritten platfotin condemns ovary man who cannot con scientiously ngiee with them. Thu leault of the late elections for the Ba varian nnd saxoii distiiets indicate the coming success of Bismarck in the Reichstag. No single party w ill have a majority of the votes and the bal ance of power will cerluinly leniain with the ultramontane party or cen tre. _ Oambetla's brilliant speech at Tours has attra.cled Iho wide spread alien- lion which it deserves , In it he boldly announced his programme , and declared himself in favor of radical changes in the composition of Iho senate. While strongly in favor of the nminiennnco of the senate as a nep.ir.ito body , Mons. G.unbctta thinks that both the Chamber of Deputies and thu scnato should bo actuated by a single spirit , in other words , that the party most strongly republican should bo in the ascen dancy in both houses. Ho is also in doubt if the principle upon which life sonatorships were established is not hostile lo the principles of universal suflrage. A good many people will agree w ith Ganibolta in this view of life scnatorsliips in a republic. In France , a third of one house is be yond the icach of the people. Death alone can eicale a vacancy in tlicir ranks. These lifo senators in Franco occupy a half-way position - tion between the English 'peer , who inherits and transmits hi' seat , and the American senator , win. is elected fur Iho brief teiiu of six years. The house of lords belongs lethe the past , while the American scnato is MI example for the futuio. It is safe to say that when the French senate ia remodelled , it will tend rather to the American than to the English system. Another idea of Gambuttn is to make thoonlianco and Iho examinations for Iho public fieivico independent o private moans. This means school' at which young men and women pro posini' to make public service a bnsi ness shall bo educated to such duties Incompetence would then bo ruled oui by examinations through which nont but capable poisons could pass Franco has already a civil service sys toin , which has grown into law rathe than been created by law , and vvhicl practically secures n person in an ofli ciul position during good behavior and places him in the line of promo tion. It is claimed that there are ninety thousand French troops now in Tuni and Algiers , and that fifty thousand iiioio will bo sent there before Octo ber. This looks as though Franc meant to make her conquest of Tuni permanent and hold it as a Frencl dependency against all comeis.

In this , at least he has been faithful and consistent. In 1871 he tried to got into the na tional assembly , but was twice de feated. The following year n Corsican - can member resigned in his behalf , and he has since represented in the legislalivo body the island where the Napoleonic family had its origin. If the land in Ireland were cquita- blv ) divided among the population thiTo would not bo enough uf it fit for tillage to suppoit llio population by agriciiltuial industry. 1'utting the population at 5,500,000 , there arc 170 ncisons to thu square mile. While oilier countries , with greatly diversi fied industries , have more dense pop ulations , the general average in Europe is only 75 persons to the square mile.
