active aorvico during the past week
than during the whole sixteen years
flinco the close of the war. All the
available vessels Imvo boon engaged in
transporting distinguished guests to
Yorktown and firing blank cartridges
from their big guns in honor of the
surrender of Cornwnllis , The old sea
do s of the American navy will now
have to take a rest. They uro over
worked.
THAT man with a capacious stomauh
and an elastic conscience , Hon. Guoigo
Washington Frost , govurnmont direc
tor of the Union Pacific railroad ,
writes as follows from the other side
of the Atlantic :
"I wanted to see the /I/DUM / of Eng
land. I have aocn them in the upper
middle classes. They are models of
comfort and elegance and unbounded
hospitality. My connection with
the conference gave mo admis
sion to these , and my at
tention to some English no
blemen during the building of the
railroad gave mo a little inside view
of theflo ancient homes. I have read
of but could not imagine the quint ele
gance of theno old halls , BO ancient
and yet BO full of comfort an Eng
lishman alwayo has an eye to his com
fort above every thing olao.
This is just what might have boon
expected from a anobocrat who loft
Now England as poor as a church
mouse and grow fat in this auction on
a Credit Mobilier job. Ho wanted to
BOO the homes of England not the
homes of the millions of poor over
worked andjundorpaid workhig'pcoplo ,
but the homes of the upper crust.
Of course the homes of the English
noblemen are models of comfort and
elegance and unbounded hospitality.
They are just the place for u man who
lias hoou dead-heading U all his life.
For him the boundless hospitality of
these British noblemen IB a genuine
love feast.
THE CORRUPTION OF JURIES.
Jury duty is ono of the privileges
of citixonship. It implies an active
participation in the administration of
justice , and in proper hands is ono of
the greatest safeguards of the
peace and prosperity of the
community. Thcro appears , how
ever , to bo a growing tendency to
throw this important priviletro of citi
zenship into the hands of incompetent
persons , whoso only object is the fco
which is attached to the oxarcioo of
the duties of the jury box. A
portion of the blame for this state of
alHurs doubtless lies at the door of the
nfliccrs who are called upon t select
the juries Juries , both grand and
petit , are frequently drawn in a man
ner which places upon the panel men
whoso only business is to hang around
court rooms waiting for a job , and
whoso names have become attached
to the term "professional jurymen. "
To them are committed cases involv
ing large amounts of property , and
questions of the highest importance to
tax payers , but in whoso adjudication
they themselves have litllo interest.
The law regarding the im
panelling of juries is clear
and adequate. It contemplates
tha selection of competent and efticiont
jurymen. It affords no loop-holo for
thu packing of juries by chronic seek-
era after the office. Such a practice ,
although common , is in dufinncoof the
law and .in direct opposition to the
best interests of communities. That
it has been done in Omaha timp and
again without manifest injury to justice -
tico , is no excuse for its repetition.
But our citizens themselves are
largely responsible for the de
fects of the jury-box. Evasion of
jury duty has become one of
the most common of political delin
quencies. The merchant pleads his
business , the professional man his
oflico , the mechanic his trade , all of
which must bo neglected to servo in
court. And yet if any of thcso jury
ahirkora feel themselves wronged by
, hu decision of twolvu man in the
jury box , they denounce the faults of
; ho jury system a ? loudly i\t any , for
getting that it ia largely dno to the
unwillingness of reputable- citizens to
jorform jury duty , which iu responsi
ble for just such failures of justice as
.hose of which they complain.
It is high time that more interest
should bo taken in the subject of jury
duty by the people. The question is
ono which concorna every community ,
and which can only bo met by the active
tivo co-operation of every citizen.
VYK have no disposition to oncour-
ngo the violation of laws' ' , nor do wo
dcsiro to embarrass any oflioor or citi
zen in legitimate efforts to secure a
respectful and rational observance of
the laws enacted for the enforcement
of abstinence from labor and traffic on
Sunday. But wo would admonish
Colonel Watson B. Smith and his co-
laborers in reform that they are going
altogether too far wh n they under
take to deprive their follow men of
comforts and necessary conveniences
which civilized people are accustomed
to enjoy on every day of the week.
Ono of the most necessary comforts
in a city like Omaha is the public
until , and any attempt to deprive
travellers and people who have no
bath-room facilities at homo of the
opportunity to procure a bath on
Sunday is simply an attempt to foster
filth and disease.
Why should the three thousand
workiugmon of Omaha , who labor ton
hours a day in their workshops , bo
compelled to shave on Saturday night ?
Would Mr. Smith insist that thcso
men shall bo lathered and scraped
like so many hogs , at the rate of a
man per minute ? IB not this worse
than cruelty to animals ? And why
should anybody in this or any other
civilized community bu deprived
of a ohnnco to procure
medicines at the drug stores on Sun
day or any other day or night ? Such
cruel tyranny is simply intolerable
nnd cannot fail to create a reaction
among thinking men against the sys
tem of potty espionage nnd persecu
tion which Col. Smith hna instituted
in our midst. But why don't Col.
Smith and his co-laborers pay their
respects first to the worat evils tlmt
atllict Omaha ? Why don't they
put a stop to Sunday { 'ambling
which is carried on openly with
out hindrance ? Why don't ' they
inform on the dives of iniquity where
gambling and prostitution uro carried
on defiantly every day in the week ?
Wouldn't the lower end Jof the Third
ward afford them n moro promising
field for reform than barber shops ,
drug dtorcs and cigar stands ?
St. Petersburg has become u city of
epics. Every landlord and house porter
ter has boon ordered by the chief of
police to kcop strict watch on their
lodgers. They are to bo always on
duty. They muat never sloop , never
go on errands , never enter the house ,
nor allow anybody to stick bills on thu
walls , .throw explosive substances
through the windows , or do anything
that may act fire to the building.
They must know everybody's business
who comes in or goes out ; they must
carry any information they can glean
to the police. They are thus inado
government spies , and are already becoming -
coming as odiour as Fouoho's brigade
become in Prance. Lodgers have to
fuo them orbo denounced as suspicious
characters ,
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
Rioting has continued in Ireland
the past week at various points and
several conflict * have taken place bo-
twcon the police and troops and the
people. The xvholo island is now tlo-
clnred under the provisions of the co
ercion net and two hundred suspected
parties are under arrest. Mr , Par-
neil , it appears , was arrested on a
warrant charging treason and inciting
to sedition , and John Dillon and
Quinn are hold on n like charqo.
The action of the government RCCIIIS
to bo cordially approved by the cntiro
English press , oven pronounced Radi
cal journels joining Tory newspapers
in championing Mr. Gladstone's
course , Thcro appears to bo no doubt
that the entire suppression of the land
league has been decided upon The
continued arrest of ita leaders nnd the
proclamation of Mr. Forstors fobbid-
ing a meeting of the organization
points to this conclusion. In the
meantime the headquarters of thu
league have been removed to Liver
pool and many of ita leaders are rui-
ticating in Paris.
THK proclamation of the Land
League from Dublin prior to
their removal to Liverpool in
which the tenant farmers wore urged
to pay no rents until the roleasoof the
Irish loaders , has been endorsed by
Parnoll from Kilmainham jail. Arch
bishop Croko , who has been in the
front of the movement for land reform
form emphatically refuses to endorse
the manifesto , which he denounces in
the atrongcsttorms. The Archbiishop
lias on his side the vast majority of
the clergy in Ireland and his letter is
generally consideaod as a very serious
blow to the "no rent" agitators. The
land commission is now in session
ready to decide all contested cases and
, here dooms to bo a reaction among the
'armors in favor of testing thu bill
which was passed for their benefit.
The court announces that the fees for
suits will bo practically nothing in or
der to facilitate. busincssandcncouragQ
a fair test of ita powors.
M. Gambotta has been called out of
Ilia partial retirement by the president
of the French republican , and takes
the place which waslongaincoaccordod
to him as his right as premier
of the French ministry. For
three years past ho has been
the strongest individual force in the
country and the natural leader of the
Republicans m the Chamber of Depu
ties. His power has been felt in gov
erning by proxy , by directing parlia
mentary nenliment andby upsetting at
liis own pleasure the opposing cabinets.
Now ho will direct the policy of the
government on Ilia own responsibility.
The new Chamber of Deputies , which
M. Gambetta will bo requirrod to face
in assuming the Premiership , com
prises 00 Bonapartists and 407 Repub
licans , If the majority bo classed ac
cording to existing groups , the Left
Centre will have 37 , the Pure Loft
1C8 , the Advanced Loft 200 , and the
Extreme Left 4G. It ia safe to assume
thataa many aa 30 , possibly 50 , of the
Advanced Left will vote steadily with
the Extreme Loft. This reduces the
voting strength of the sections upon
which M. Gambotta can confidently
depend for political support to 361 , n
majority being 270. A fantastic com
bination of the Extremes of the Cham
ber with the doubtful members of the
Advanced Loft cannot bo expected to
muster more than 182 votes under the
most /avorablo circumotanees ,
From these figures it will bo seen that
Gambotta will bo backed by a strong
majority. He may bo counted upon
to ultimately call to his sup
port the Advanced Loft or the
radical republicans which are now
the real centre of political pow
er. Every sign of the political
horizon in Franco points a now de
velopment of republican institutions
in Franco , in which they will gain
what they have DO fnr lacked , perma
nence and stability.
Advices from Meshed state that an
army from Turkestan has captured
Herat. If > thia bo true the power of
Ayoub Khan in broken , for the victors
are not Turcomans , but soldiers of
Abdurrahman , umoorof Afghanistan.
After thu pretender's defeat in thu
plains of Candalm is General Ab
dul Kudaa Khan was sent to
capture his last stronghold , and
the direct march to
Herat was besot with difficulties ho
was bidden to roach the city circuitously -
ously by way of Turkestan It is
hard to believe that ho can have
taken BO easily a city well fortified
and well provisioned ; but the treach
ery which served the amoer in good
stead at Candahar may hayo helped
his lieutenant at Herat. Holding the
great border town ho is ruler of his
country from Persia to the Indus.
Thu trouble in South Africa still
continues. Thu withdrawal of thu
British armies from the Boor coun
tries by Mr. Gladstone was the act of
a wise statesman , who refused to en
dorse n war which had never mot the
approval of his conscience. Since
the conclusion of the armistice the
English ministry have boon endeavor
ing to come to such an arrangement
with the Boors us to insure peace
with honor. The colonists , however ,
Boom to have become BO flushed with
their victories that they are disposed
to demand concessions which the
government cannot grant. Air. Glad
stone has sent the loader of the Boors
his ultimatum and will renew the war
unless it is accepted.
The republicof Vonzuola is now
ngitatcd over the question 6f the re
tention or dismissal of their president.
Their present executive ia Guzman
Blanco , "Illustrious American , pacifi-
calor , regenerator nnd president of
the United States of Vonzuola , " ns
his title runs , a head who has many of
the faults of Central American "pa
cificators , " but who ia also the most
able man in the nation , and who
would do moro to act Venzucla on its
foot than any other man. Entering
Caraccas in 1870 aa supreme dictator ,
ho has in two ycara reduced order out
of chaos ; has founded and established
a constitutional assembly ; has insti
tuted a tariff ; wont abroad and made
favorable commercial arrangements ;
hai increased the revenue nearly ? lQi-
000,000 , and from a deficit has chnged
the balance sheet of the country to a
surplus of nearly § 3,000,000. The
cause of the trouble at present is duo
to the fact that the congress which is
now to bo elected will next year elect
a federal council , which in turn will
elect a president. The Vens'.uulan
partica are two , federals and confeder
ates. The former is represented by
Blanco , who hat reduced the twenty-
one stairs to seven , subject to a general
oral government. The confedoralca
favor complete autonomy of eachstate ,
and only favor a general government
as an administrative power oh behalf
of all. '

POETRY OP THE TIMES.
A Good Girl to

\ dote on the arts young girl ,
\ poet in embryo , don't know n thing , you
know
\ll on the surface young girl.
I'm n novel-reading young girl ,

A romantic , half-crazy , but terrible lazy ,
Let ma do the work youtig girl.
I'm n lonk-out for a catch yotinp girl ,
A sna'ch 'em up quick young girl ,
A half do the proposing , and bag 'cm when

Hold on to your gumo young girl ,
A Stanra and nn Addition.
To the Editor of the Clocland Leader.
Soon after the death of Lincoln there
appeared lines by Edna Dean Proctor ,
comparing the Potomac and Sangatnon
riven. I have ventured to add a verso
linking Erie waters with them.S.
S. P. B.
"Now must the storied Potomac
Laurels forever divide ;
Now to the Stingamnu famclcss
Give of its century's pride. t
Sangamon , btream of the prairies ,
Phcidly westward that Hews ,
Far in whose city nf silence
Calm he has nought his repose ;
Over our Washington's river
Sunrise beams rosy and fair ;
Sunset on Sangamon iairer
T'other and martyr Ho there. "
How Bhall the waters of Erie ,
Potomac , and Sangamon , three ,
Linked hy one sacred _ emotion ,
Emblems of Liberty be.
Erie , whose wavelets are flashing
Close by the newly made grave ,
Erie , whose dark stormy waters
Beat dirges on foam-covered wnvo.
Seek yo our \ \ ashingt n's river.
Tread lightly by Sangainon fair ,
Bow tender and loving by Erie ,
Father and Martyrs lie there.
