THE LAW AND THE LICENSE ! The true inwardness of the attack of TIIK BKK upon Mayor Boyd is o amusing as it in clear to all businec men. ' * Th6 otliciul paper of the city counted upon a big bonanza throug its charges for publmhing license IK ticos daily for two weeks , and the flri trouble camp when some of the disaal isQod advertisers wont to the city attoi iiey and learned his opinion that on insertion of the "ad" each wcok fc two weeks in advaucu of the time fu issuing license was snlllciont. Ono o the advertisers , Mr. Brandt , t Turner hall , who had Riven a choc in advance for two weeks' daily at vortisomcut under THK HKK'K inisroi rosontaticn , ordered it weekly an stopped payment at the bank ; an upon thm TIIK BKK looked back upo its files and found some report uboti the Turner Hall theater which n n portnr had written voluntarily , an which had boon published as nowi and a bill for this was nmdo out an Hunt to Mr. Brand. Herald. The law regulating the nnle liquor in Nebraska which pawed th last session of the logmtaturo prc vided that all applications for 1 icons should bo accompanied by u bond ! the euro of 85,000 , which bond an application should bo lilcil in the pul lie records of the city or county whoi petition was nmdo. Its further provided that the fa < that euch application had boo made kand ouch bond tile tihoula bu published fur t\v weeks in the paper liaving tli largest number of readers and th publication as above should bu awor to by the publishers. \ Furtlier provision wa inado tht when Huch terms' had Ixwri oumplie with , in coso no objection or remoi utranco was filed against the grantiu of the application for license , the license might bo grunted by the pn perly constituted authorities. Th concisely stated is that portion of tli Hlocum lair which boars upo iho granting1 of licciibo. It i over the disputed interpretation of il meaning that the railroad organs c Omaha are engaged in questioning tli utand taken by this paper upon tli subject.

Futher moro , to show t.io "true indward less" of the position taken by tin taper , the business manager of Tn : BKH suggested to a number of liquo dealers in thin city that they couli comply with the law and sav .lioniBtlves the larger part of the ex lanta by uniting in the publication o ono general application , signed by al .ho dealera , and securing ite insortioi with a Binglo accompanying allldavi 'or the length of time required b ; aw.

Bismarck's attempt to- , scare th Gorman Reichstag into complianc with his economical programme hn not boon entirely successful , and rti morn are current of the approachln dissolution of that body. The Nort German Gazette insists that the attitude tudo of the Reichstag , since its open ing , has boon inimical to the unit of the German Empire , and says the -affixing their signatures to the fee oration treaty the Gcrmnn Princes ir tended that Germany should bo ur dor the leadership of Prussia , but nc that she should submit herself t shifting majorities in thu Reichstag It adds that the Gorman profesnoi and provincials once doatroye German unity in St. Paul's ' church , i Frankfort , by a disregard of monarcli ical dynasty , and that it is , therefore the duty of the nation to uttoratimi ly protest.

The London Times is euro that u timately a Panama canal will bo lite ally a part of thu coast line of tli United States , through the absorptio of Mexico and Control America. Mi Walters has seen enough in the Uni ted States to make hia faith in thinga an yet unseen , tlattcring to Yankee greatness and creditable to his own judgment. _ _ _ _ _ It is now proposed to rnxe the Rin I heater , at Vienna , or what remains of it , and erect a monument on the ito to the memory of the hundreds who perished there. It seems that n superstition exists that the curno ol ( ! od rests upon that particular spot. Thirty or forty years a o the city executioner - cutionor dwelt thcio.

Many others were cither hanged or nhot on the same pot ; and so tragic interest baa uing about it , which is dccetipcd and made indelible by thcjlato catastrophe. Republicanism is becoming pro' mmiccd in Greece , not because the Monarchy per BO is oppressive , but > ucaU8o King George has lost some of iin former popularity. Ho has been 'rcquontly accused of Into of brcakiuu lia word , and using his prerogative tc enforce arbitrary measures. Tht country has a constitutional pirlia < nent of one chamber , whose rucenl sudden diBHolution by the king 1ms excited ill feeling Some of his most iilluontial subjects are plotting hi : overthrow , and tlio c.stabliahment of n republic with a constituent assembly , Placards have nppearol inscribed , ' 'Down with Iho promise-breaker. ' The foreign relations of Greece arc not exactly orderly and peaceful , though internally , rapid progress in thu assimilation of modern material improvomomonts is recorded. . Rail road construction is going on at c great rate. A successful road now connects Athens with its port , the Pira > UB. A canal is in course of con struction across the Isthmus of Cor inth. Singularly enough the republican lican sentiment is also gaining grounc in Italy , the historic adversary and conquero'r of < > recce.- A few years ago it was the fashiot among most of the upper ten thou sand iin England to denounce Sii Charles Dilko aa a republican and revolutionist. Now , aa under foroigr secretary and representative of foreigi affairs in the house of commons , he n exceptionally popular. The Prince ol Wales lately breakfasted with him tc meet Gambotta. Protection plays an important par in thojtinancial policy of Austria-Hun gary , as well as in that of Germany but it is made incidental to revenues Though the two branches of tin monarchy manage their custom allair , independently , the proceeds of dutiei are applied to the maintenance ot tin joint army , navy and foreign service Ilencn there is , in the main , a com man scheme of taxation. Tin ministers of' both kingdoms heldTl cabinet council at Vienna some tivi weeks ago , , and harmonized thei : views. Botli nations showed fmuncia deficits , and it had to bo rccom mended that taxes bo increased. Im ports , however , could not bo availed of to anything like the extent whicl is possible in countries with moro di versified and extensive foreign trade The tobacco , spirits , wines and suga consumed in' Austria are mainly o domestic manufacture. Petroleum i subject for duties , but the oil wells o Galicia are rapidly increasing in pro ductivonesi , and their oil is excluding the foreign article. Moderate pro dmctivo duties wore finally agreed 01 for gram and flour , not so much because cause Austria is at a disadvantage ii agriculture M because she lacks trans portation facilities which German ; and Russia enjoy , or rather bocaus there are certain discriminations ii through railway charges against several oral Austrian provinces.
