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.

A number of the most roputabl

dialing that their applications shouli

, o tnko advantage of the change ii
ho wording of the ailidavit. Futher
moro , to show t.io "true indward

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

not boon entirely successful , and rti
morn are current of the approachln

German Gazette insists that the attitude

of the German Empire , and says the
-affixing their signatures to the fee
oration treaty the Gcrmnn Princes ir

that she should submit herself t

It adds that the Gorman profesnoi

Frankfort , by a disregard of monarcli
ical dynasty , and that it is , therefore
the duty of the nation to uttoratimi

The popularity of young Don Alfoi

The London Times is euro that u

It is now proposed to rnxe the Rin

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

' '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

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

exceptionally popular. The Prince ol
Wales lately breakfasted with him tc

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.
