MR. DOANE'S PRO TEST. Tftr , George \ \ \ D.mno has been an earnest and consilient ndvoc.Uo of an- li-monopoly sentiments in his party. The manly stand for the right * of the people ngainst the corporations which ho took in the logifti Ultra Iwt winter made for him tinny frindg outside of his own party ranks , and the earnest- neil with which , in the fnco of his own personal and professional inter ests , ho las ndvoeitod the principles of nationality has won him the respect of every candid thinker in No braskn. Mr.Djnno believes , and no doubt bo lievc * truly , that the mass of demo cratic votora in this ntitu nru not it sympathy with the ngtjroaslons of thu monopolies , At the democratic state convention held on Tuesthy in thin city ho endeavored toorco upon that > ody , composed largely of rnilro.id capper ) , n conaidoration of 'ho fol .owing . trenchant and outspoken res olutionn : Resolved , That keeping in mind the teachings of the fatheri and founders of the democratic party un der which nil ita gloricua victories in the past li.'Uo bocn won , wo hereby luallirm a time-honored principle of iloniocnicy that the protection of the rights nf the people should bo , and is , the first and pirnmount duty of a re publican government. I. That the arrogant claims ot the railroad monopolies nf the exclusive right to rcpiluto the transportation interests and business of that country is a causa fur serious al.irm , nud if submitted to result in making the pro ducers of our vivtt western domain nioro hewers of wood and di.wers of water for these exacting mailers.

It is un necessary to state that Mr. Doano'a resolutions were unceremo niously tabled after J.

It was hardly reasonable for for Mr. Doano to ex pect any respectful consideration from juch a body of men who have by their notion placed the democratic party in jpposition to the sentiment of the people of Nebraska. His manly on- ioaVor to force the issue upon the at tention of his party aud compel them to takoa , stand upon the paramount question of , thu times will bo appre ciated by every advocate of anti- monopuly in the state , , > , Tiuwio : | ( . UiOforenoo in the marriage V r ' * V- laws obtaining in the several states of the Unioiys often a cause of great Inf oriVouiBnco and cdnflisioji. jTn/Now York and jn several , other states the party against whom , a diyorco is se cured is prohibited from marrying again , , and/Litlu-rto , if such party went to anbtkor state whoso laws con veyed no such prohibition and murriud again , it has been supposed that his marriage would not bo regarded as le gal in the state where the prohibitory divorce had been secured , ' This has given rise to much dispute and com plication with regard to the rights of children by the second marriage. By a recent decision of the Now York court of appeals it is laid down that'a marriage which is valid in the state nheru it id executed is valid in the state where the divorce is obtained. This decision of course pertains to Now York alone ; but it is not unlikely that it will bo taken ns a precedent everywhere that the prohib itory force of divorces obtain. In sudU case the prohibitory put might us well bo abolished altogether , for it is on easy matter for the proscribed party to \\horohocancontraotnmar- - riago which will bo held valid in nli the states. If the New York decision is everywhere adopted , the demand for a constitutional amendment to unify the marriage laws in all the states will not bo BO urgent. _ With the next number , the title of Scribnor's Monthly becomes The Century tury Magazine.

Thu oxcltomont in Ireland over the nrront nf Mr. Parnoll was unprece dented , The news way Hashed with lightning rapidity to every county. Local land leagucsinct and denounced the outrage. In Dublin stores wore closed and the black fl.ig hunt ; from the windows of dwellings. The pres ence of 40,000 troops alone prevented the excited people from rising in in surrection. In England , among the largo population of Irishmen , the feel ing was scarcely IOSH intciuo. In Liv erpool the police force was strength ened. In Manchester fears were en tertained by the authorituH of serious trouble. Mr. Gladstone's return from the Guildhall in London ivai at tended 1)3 * hisses from the crowd. A monster mooting is to bo held in Hyde Park , the scene ot the great re form meetings , to protest ng linst the crowning outrage and most stupendous deus politic.il blunder of the govern ment , While excitement 1m bcon high and indignation intense atnotig all Irish men the admirable organization of the land league has once more shown its power in compelling passive resist ance to English oppression. They hare boldly protested ngiiuat the arrest of their lender * without duo process of law and for a charge which would bo instantly dismissed in any courts outsida of those controlled by the English g6v- eminent. They have apppealed to the civil ired world iu express its ( con demnation of thisHubversionof law and justice , and they have laid their cause before the American people , confident of the verdict which that impartial1 jury will render on1 the case. More than all , they have by their wise coun sels prevented an olTusion of blood and the sacrifice of innocent lives which would have been certain to have followed any resistance to the author ity of England , backed by the mus kets of 40,000 soldiers and 15,000 policemen. The wisdom , moderation and policy of the land league shows that Ireland possesses hundreds of men fit to lead public sentiment , and the arrest of a'single leader like Mr. Parnell can no more stay the tide of national sentiment than the capture of a general leading the advance of a great army can check the progress of u campaign. The Scotch land bill forced a signifi cant remark from Mr. Gladstone in his Leeds speech. The bill diuwn up by the Scotch chamber of agriculture contains the main features of the Irish bill , and is said to be oven more swooping in its.provisions. 'Mr/Glad stone's language leads to the inference that ho will not support it .without es- , jntial changes. Ho said * thatj -rl330 the " circumstances in England and Scot land n ere not those of Ireland , but that much was io bo done in altering and modifying the English and Scotcli land laws. The prominence the land question is assuming in Great Britain indicates that it will take the prece dence of the fair trade- movement , n prospect which iu pleasing to the lib erals. Mr. Gladstone stated that lie apurolionded no division in the liberal ranks ; that everywhere there \\uro signs of union. IIo defined his foreign policy as one in which "every foreign country should bo crcililcd with the name good motives as ourselves until it showed to the contrary , and that every puwcr ivas entitled to the eamo rights and privileges irrespective of si/.o. " Ho spoke at length of the cri sis in Ireland , and pledged the govern ment to a firm policy , irrespective of the Parnell movement. Upon econo mic matters ho had much to say , at tributing the depression of trade to the decreased purchasing power owing to successive bad liaivests. The speech was one hour and forty min utes long , and is regarded as an im portant political manifesto. Much surprise has bcon expressed that members of the Russian nobility are enrolled among the nhiilists. This was a fact in the days of Alexander II. , and it is no less true now. Many nobles who nero neutral , or oven sided with the czar in the last reign , have declared themselves , more or less openly , hostile to the present govern ment. Two or throe considerations will help to solve the mystery. One is the custom of calling the mule mem bers of noble families , however fur re moved from the head , "Princes" or "Counts. " Most of the princes or couuti who are ubot revolutionary schemes have no expectations , and reap no advantage from their titles. And , again , not all the nihilists are bloodthirsty assassins. Many of them , if not , indeed , the majority , aim only to secure a constitutional government by constitutional means. Discontented noblemen naturally unite their fortunes with this party , and deserve credit rather than appro bation for so doing. v The London Times of September Oth has a lengthy editorial on the completion of the comma of India , "tho materials for which , " it Rays , "were collected lest " February , The grand total is 202,011,210. It is an increase of 12,788,005 over the re turns of the census of 1671. 13angal remains the most populous of all the pro\iiccu ) , but Uunnah shous the highest per cent of increase35por cent in ten years. Mysore and Mad- i an have decreased ; nnd , notwith standing the ravages of famine , only these have fallen nway in population , In 1871 the returns from Uombay province were 10,31,200j ! this year , 20,020,110 ; incrciuo , 4r , 70)13. ! and thin , in spite of the famine , jungli tigers , serpent * nnd the ravages o cholera , Inch is nlunj s there .Four fifths of the whole population of India nro now under British rule , and but I one-fifth in the old feudatory condition of mlo by native princes The great est giowth both in numbers nnd wealth has been in the British pro vinces. The density of population is pomclhing astounding oven to an En islininn whose native isle is bccoin ing very much crowded , considering that at least a third of the Hindostan peninsula is uninhabitable mountain nnd jungle. The nholu area under British rule contains but 800,000 square miles ; and the remainder will not inoro than raise the figures to 1,100,000 square miles. Germany is becoming seriously alarmed over the extension of the American railway syttem into Mexi co. A Inrpo number of German houses nro doing business in the coun try , and if wo may depend on the statement made by them in the Ger man journals their interests are ser iously menaced by the present inva sion of American speculators. The German interest in Mexico is largo and impoihint. They own nearly till the breweries , control several of the silver smelting works , besides numer ous factories reprcsentm ; ; nearly every branch of trndo"and industry. Ah'cavy business is done by them.in iron and not a few of the great commercial establishments are also engaged in banking. The fears > pf the German element in that country are in all probability well founded There is no reason \\liy Mexico should 'purchase ' in Berlin what she can buy in New York , Boston or Philadelphia. Our merchants have hitherto neglect ed this great and growing market to the south of them. The sister repub lic is almost as little known as Aus tralia. The graot obstacle in the way has bcon the want of proper transpor tation facilities , which are now in a. fair way of being supplied. Germany is correct. The American locomotive is destined to revolutionize the trade and commerce of that country. The Russian coinunitios that are driving out the Jews should remember the experience of nil nations that have driven out this or any other re ligious people. The "driving out" has bonofitted every other nation moro than the one that did the driving out. , Wheii thejtJews iwero driven out ofj Spaiiuthoy Inrgeijrw nt to the Nether lands and made that country-instead of Spain , the chief commercial center of the world. When France drove out the Huguenots they settled in England and Prussia , and , transfer ring their industries thither , made those countries , instead * of France , the principal manufacturing coun tries of Europe. The religious perse cution whichdrovetho puritans io these shores , gave us hardy Now England virtues and thrift. Muchuf our west ern prosperty comes fiom the Men- nonitcs and others who have been driven from Russia. The Jesuit ? who have been driven from Germany and Franco have created the immense Jesuit - suit enterprises flourishing' , ! ! ! England , Scotland , Wales , Spain and the United States. It is largely owing to the fact that the Jews have bcon driven from all countries that they have in turn established themselves in nil countries , nnd established with them their faith , their customs and their traffic. Ex patriation is only a forced swarming which multiplies and enriches iho ex iles , transferring frequently the cen ter of power and wealth'to ' their now home. British beer is a solid British insti tution. The statistics show that there ore foity thousand breweries in Eu rope , and of all the houses in England and Wales the formidable number of one hundred and thirteen thousand , or one in ev = ry forty , are devoted to the sale of liquor in some form or an other Ono boor house in forty is a record of which every beer lover should bo proud , All the religions denominations put together cannot show as many houses of worahip and schools , public or'privato. But this is not the only evidence of the conquer ing march ami progress of b'sor. Brit ish spirits and beer represented , so far as consumption went , in the de. cado before the la t one , four hundred and fifty million dollars , while in the decade just closed those flguius have risen to the enormous sum of seven hundred and eighty million dollars. In the face of all this it is idle to de clare that beer is on tbo decline , Telegraphs and railways in China have of late occupied much of the at tention of the government , and pre parations are now being made to pro vide both most extensively. About a year ago the emperor or his couniel- ors gave thuir sanction for a telegraph between Peking , Tein-tsln and Shang hai , which will probably bo com pleted this year , and but little doubt exists that all ( lie great cities of thu empiruill shortly bo united by telo- graph. Imperial permission has also been obtained for a railway from the capital to the port of Tien-tsing , a distance of seventy miles , and from there to the river Ynng-tzo-kiang , 500 miles further south. Ono of several very important navi gation projects in the north of Europe that are likely io bo carried out with in the coming few years In a now chan nel to connect the North Sea with the Baltic across the province of Schlos- wig. Count Von Moltko has recently been in Sohlcsnig , and is toportcd to have given a very favorable opinion of the feasibility of tlio project , and it is understood that now the govern- mant wi Imk the IIOIIHO of deputies to vote the funds necessary for the work , Dcgt are being trained in some corps of the Russian army to act as sentinels in lieu of men , For tlii duty the wolf dog of the Ural moun tains is found most suitable , ns this animal will growl at the presence of an intruder itstend of barking out right , and thus inciting all the dogs in thu camp to do likewise. The cost of a first-class locomotive in Franco varies from $24,000 to § ' 2G- 000. A contract for 100 locomotives for the State railway was recently signed at the late of $12,000 , 814,000 and SIO.KOO. These wore for light traffic and short distance. NOWH from the Dutch Polar expe dition on the schooner William Bar ents , have been received. Owing to the continuous ice-barrier which ex tends nearly to Norway , Spitsbergen could not bo reached , nor yet oven the Bear Islands ; und after one nioro at tempt to force through northward the expedition will retuin home , as the captain is convinced that this year Nova /jcmblii is completely enclosed in a barrier of ice. The progress of railway building in India continues to bo rapid. Much was done during the Afghan war , but the work diu not stop with the return uf peace. On January 1 , 1880 , 0,326 af road were open , and 838 miles had been added during the year then jnded. Compared with the previous year , the increase of not revenue was : ontiidcrably moro than a half million sterling. GARFIEMX "Hffwas a man.
