[ Omaha Itepublican. Whenever this paper has in the ux- erciso of the mint sacred function of jniirnnlism ni posed dishonest or in competent public nion in whom thu railway monopolies liavo an active ally and tool , the Omaha has always como to the front as their defender and champion. In almost every instance the answer to every charge no matter how well sustained hns been "it ma villainousslander. " Our recent review of Valentino' * past career was called out by an arti cle from his homo organ which sought to create the impression that Tim BKK was actuated by mercenary motivui or disappointed ambition in representing Valentino as a ma-i of small calibre and . , a tool of the railway loonopollun i Such exposures always appear untimely - timely to the organists of the Union Pacific , but wo have no apology to make for keeping the people of N - brankn informed about the trno char acter of political loaders iap Ully when they occupy high positioni of honor nnd trust. Wo are lot in the leant surprised at the hran at tempt ot The Republican to make Valentino appear as a victim of a foul slander and model of public virtu * . Every intelligent man in Nebraska knows thut the mun who edit * the Rojnibliian is hired to whitewash every rogue in the service nf the mo nopolies nnd black wash and hound down nny man that darcsto raieoliis voice in protest against thr * political dominatiMi of giant corporations. Now let us see whether Mr. Valon- . tine wan nlandcrod. TUB HKK charged that Valentino'sL' knowledge of law was acquired in the West Point land oflico and was confined - ' . fined mainly to practioo in bar room * with incidental efforts as co lection , agent , in which capacity Valentino failed HOmotnncs to report to his clients collections made for them. , The fact that Valentino spent a great art of his time in bar rooms and billiard - : liard Imlls nnd does HO upend his time this day c.mnot bo successfully a gainsaid.

At the same convention the pnr votes of Fillmore county which L'O directed to be cast for Crounao by delegation were given to Valentine ery a fraudlent change of ballots. The few that changed these ballots may well done no from pure admiration fur Arnlontiuo , but we suspect he was re- wnrdud on the spot by a payment in is ireenbacks.

It is very plain that the Liberal op position in the Gorman Heichttag do not propose | to submit in silence to any attempt i at forcing them into ap proval of Hismnrck's social and economical oinic policy , A vigorous speech wai delivered i by llorr Iliehter , who is the ablest shaker upon economical questions | on the Liberal stdo of the Hotii , and the speech is said to have produced BO extraordinary an olFect that no representative of the Government motif ventured upon an immediate re ply ' . hut preferred an adjournment for the t day. llorr llichtcr'a pointed remark that every Gorman willingly rccogni/ied the Immortal norvicpB ten- lerei by thu Chancellor , but that the German people had cwino of age , and demanded a controlling voice in the government of their affairs , no doubt xpresaoH the feelings of a majority of Uiei nation , ' . I5IHMAUCK adopted his old tactics to win support from the ojipo- nilion in a Tory characteristic speech . in favor of the incorporation of IJain- \ > arg. This city has no far been a fr port in the Gernmn cuatom ays- tern. . Riimarck's npcoch culminated in n appeal to the patriotic feeling of , . _ . , , . th German people , whom he wants , to keep in mind that all his plans and projects have but one aim ; to consid er the unity of Germany. This is a favorite ( urn of ipeoch with the Chancellor when lie is hard pressed for an agument to put bin opponents at a disadvantage , and he has fro * qnently used it with effect. Tlio patriotic rioti nature of his political aims in this respect ia scarcely doubted by anybody. Hut the question is whether - ' er the measures ho insists upon * are . necessary for the consolidation of Gorman unity , and oven whether their adoption would not bo calculated rather to weaken than to strengthen the popular desire for that unity by making it less desirable nnd , . attractive. . The argument against him on this point is . . . very strong nnd will tax his ingenuity to the * utmost.n . , , . , With regard to the incorporation of Hamburg in the Xollverein , however , ho . is not likely to have much trouble. . Tlio measure was. at firnt strongly op- ' posed . . bj the merchants of Hamburg. Hut it has been modified so ns to leave part of the free port intact as to"u commercial . . . facilities , and a great many citizens of the old ITnnsa-tovvn have meanwhile come to the conclusion that the change as now agreed upon may . bo rather advantngoous as to of their , interests. The Reichstag is now al asked to make an appropriation of 40,000,000 marks to carry out the ngeeomeiitand ' that sum will probably"mn granted. English economists are beginning to cheer up since the latest trade returns show that the ' country's traffic is no longi decreasing. It is increasing this autumn , both in the direction of exports nnd imports. Judging from October , in fact , 1881 promises to boone ot ( the b st business years that Great Britain has ever had. The im for ports of thn month amounted to over JL'31,000,000 ' , or to fully 14 per cent , more than in the same month last year , , and to only . ' { per cent , less than are October , 18 ? ! > . Hut since thcro those whc think there is no profit these imports how is , it with ex ports ? Hero the record stands 13i are cent , higher than lust year , and per cent , above 18711. Altogether there is a steady progress in thu recov from the "hard times" which , a years ago , swept over England as as the United Slates. In homo branches of trade there is still little Eng profit , but the expansion in gonor.d - solid and substantial. Now mar in have boon found on the contin as well as in the United States Cald the Colonies. The value of Urit to trade per capita ia etill a long way . . ad of that of the United Stales , the that | | though the absolute value of the 1st , is rapidly drawing up toward id ed Pen , by reason of the larger and con Btantly increasing population in this got d country. side Until now the position of Bosnia gliidi Herzegovina in the European po stake litia system has boon rather nmbigu less .

Re cently , however , a local committee at Ddcsan adopted , with only one dis senting voice , a series of hearties1) recommendations to the minister of Lho interior that show just how mat- torn stand. This declaration was to the effect thnt thn Jnws ought to be debarred from holding elective or ju dicial ollices ; that it ought to bo made illegal for them to Icnao crown lands , or purchase other lands ; that the number of students in thu lower schools and colleges should bo limited at least to ns small a percentage nn corresponds with the relative number of Jews and Christians in Kusnia ; thnt an old prohibition against the employ ment of Christian servants by Jews should be renewed ; thnt Hebrews not practicing specific trades should be forbidden to settle in the rural districts - tricts ; that advocates professing the Jewish faith ought not to bd permit ted to plead in the courts ; nnd , worse of all , HO far as the livelihood of many is concerned , that all Jews should bo prohibited from holding or buying hills of exchange ) or promissory notes , unices ! they are registered members of thu merchants' guild , Ex-Miniit r Wwliburne oxprcU great things of the new French minwill r iitry. The prevailing opinion is that it will , b merely an echo of Gnmbetta , and an establishment of paraonol gov ernment . , in its most olFcnfiivo form. Mr. Washbimio does not think . . . . ' . so. II * believes that Gambetta will make hit , nark as a moderate president of the . council and minister of foreign affairs , and holds that ho has of late gained , in the esteem of die people of Europe , whatever their politics. Mr. Waahburno snya of Cazot , the minister of justice , who is an eminent lawyer of Paris , that ho is "a thinking re publican ; " of Gochory , the minister of posts and telegraphs ( a new portfolio ) , l that ho is "talented , " and was a great friend of Thiora , and o on of others with whom thu Illinois status- ° man when abroad , bad a personal ac quaintance. Nevertheless , on the whole , the cabinet is composed of un known quantities , save that they are Gatnbottists. The chief will bo a 1 in all. Moat of the ministers have been radical republicans to date. M. Paul Bert , the minister of instruction , is 01 best known for the pronounced hostil CK ity which ho has manifested to relig of > ious influences in the schools. Over half of thu new ministers have been at one time or another connected with Gambetta's newspaper. Allain-Targo , the i minister of finance , is oditor-in- chief ' of the Jirpnlliqnc Francuist , and Proust . ' , the minister of line arts ' is one his associates. If this isn't person' government , what is ? The bishops and priests of the Ro man Catholic church in Spain have rallied to the supf ort of the conservative tivo party in opposing the civil marriage ed riagc bill ; but the Sagasta ministry , supported by the liberals , are dolor- mine to push it through , and will doubtless succeed.
