IN choosing pavements for out

tied by allowing each street to choose
its own material on some rule that t

This would answer very well if the.
whole cost of paving was taxed 01
abutting property , but if one-third or n
greater percentage of the cost is to bo

left with the city council.
Tin : Methodist ministers of Oliifi ig <
held a meeting a few days ago to tall
about the Indiana undtho freedmen o

interesting account of this gathering
contains the following decidedly refreshing
freshing extract :
The Kov. G. W. Frost , of Omaha
who has spent the past fifteen ynirani
r. missionary among the Indians 01
thu frontier , made u few remarks bear
ing upon his experience , in which hi
said that the churches had done mure
for poor Lo during thu pmt : tun juare
than all the other influences combined
After yearn of thought and invuatiga
tion of the Indian nature ho hm
reached the deliberate conclusion tlu
lie would rather take a contract for tin
convuasion of 3,500 Indians in n urovi
campmeeting than any U , 500 whitepor
sons wlmanigjit have gathered at run
doin in the city , Ho hud found thu
the worst outrages evur conmiittod bj
the Indiana since the time the white
men first landed on American soi
were paralleled by similar outrages
perpetrated by the whites. The In
dians had no historian' , no books , inn
no newspaper ! } to toll of their wrongs
they were buried in their breasts am
the graves of their dead. Thu met
who went among thorn generally car
ried moral depravity , ruin , and des
truction. A majority of the Indiai

'aborcd unde the dclnsinn that this
truly good man was sent to
Omaha among the heathen by the

of his pagan nephew , George Francis

filled with becoming humility and
Bublimo resignation to the ways of
Divine Providence. Thoonly instancu
wo can remember when the Uov.
George Washington got seine active
experience among the Indians \\nh
three years ago , when ho was coinniis-
Hiiinod agent for the Crow Indians ,
where in the brief spnc < ' of fifteen
weeks he became familiar with the

tov. George Washington would pro

hat is a contract to convert some of

KEEP YOUR SHIRT Olf.
Wo would advise parties who are in
danger of losing their heads over the
rumor that the department of thp
'lalto is to bo abolished and Fort
) maha abandoned by thct military to
ccep their nhirts on. Such wild
rumoiH havotnado fools of some people
ruuhoiitB many timcH , but they were
niually fabricated to afford HOIIIU of
: > ur patriots n chance to piny saviour
for Omaha.
Departments in the army are not
the creation of mure caprice , ana thuy
are not abolished to nvoinjo inia inrry
ull'rontH to military commanders.
Military barracks aru not abandoned
Imp hu/.ard , regardless ot thu availa
bility or thu IOEB fuich changes would
entail on the government.
The department of the I Matte was
created at thu close of the war and
Omaha chosen as the most available
location for it headquarters. The ad
vantages of Omaha over other loca
tions had then been thoroughly can
vassed nnd thuy arc to-day if anything
greater than they ever hava boon.
The eastern gateway of the trunk line
across the continent , with iron amis
reaching north and south , nnd the
Missouri river affording facilities for
convoying supplies to military posts
nbovc , in peculiarly adyantaguous as
an army centre. As thu centre
of a great grain nnd cattla
raising region Omaha is ono of
the most available points for
thu purchnso of commissary supplies
and feeding of troops.
It was mainly because Omaha af
forded these superior advantages that
General Sherman , on behalf of the
government , purchased the grounds
near this city upon which hi estab
lished Omaha barracks. Upon those
grounds Undo Sam has uxpundcd
$150,000 in permanent improvements
at the instance of General Shorman.
Ts it credible that General Shormun
would attempt to abandon this prop
erty or surrender nil the advantages
Omaha affords for the army merely
because ho does not approve of the
occupancy of a building in this city as
army headquarters in place of the
building occupied for that purpose last
spring at the Omaha barracks.
This thing of abolishing military
departments nnd abandoning perma
nent military posts does not rest with
the general of thu army alono. Thu
secretary of war and the president
will Imvo to givn their approval to
such changes , and they would hardly
givu thuir sanction meruly to gratify
the poisonnl whim of Gunural Sher
man. But if Gunrral Shurnmn ronlly
had thu power to do this , would it not
bu easier for him to order General
C'rook and his stall' back ID Fort
Omaha than to demolish Fort Omah.i
and abolish thu department of thu

Tin : independent movumont is now
making itself vigorously felt in North
Carolina. Judge Charles 1'ikl ) and
Col. W. P. Johnson , two of thu most
intluontial democrats of the state , have
announced their withdrawal from the
bourbons nnd tlioir intention to pro
mote an independent party. General
Loach , who headed the Hancock ticket
at the lust election , declares that 1m
will votu for u republican at the next
election and Senator Hansom is re
ported as stating that there will bo
nothing loft of thu party in six months
if the present ratu of desertion is main
tained. So for as the breaking up of
thu party lines in thu south tends to
secure greater individual and political
freedom to all classes it will receive
the cordial support of all republic-Una.
Whun it is proved only to bo thu p nn
of unsuccessful politicians to secure a
division of the spoils of ollico by com-
bming'with other forces it will fail to
, obtain much encouragement , or sup
port outside of the Ipcal limits of thu
btato.
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The rescript issued by the emperor
of Germany defining the personal
powers nnd his independence of the
ministry and parliament dots not
seem to have friitlitcnnl the rcichstag
into n surrender of its privileges.
llerr Diet/ , socialistic member of the
reichstag , having been imprisoned by
Hiimnrck for circulating prohibited
publications , the matter wns brought
to thu attention of his fellow-members.
They nt once ordered his release from
imprisonment. Thu fueling wan HO
strong that there was no opposition to
the order , oven the government mem
bers voting for it. The vote docs not
imply nny sympathy with socialism ,
but shows that the members were
bound to record themselves as ngniiuit
arbitrary measures that nflect their
safety and independence. There Is
an end oven to Bismcrck's tutlicr.
Premier Gambutta ban not aban
doned his intention of reviving the
Scrutin do Listo. Ho proposes to in
corporate the principle in the consti
tution and nt the sanio time to revise
the system of sunaturial elections. The
present scheme is needlessly complex
and indirect , and the necessity for a
radical reform is generally recognized.
ho premier's plan is to have the lifu
lonators chosen by both chamber * in-
toad of ono , to have each senatorial
lolegato elected by 500 voters in place
if the communes , and to curtail the
iriviloges nf the upper house in finan-
ial legislation. These changes will
implify the electoral system , nnd will
end to mnku thu senate decidedly
uoro democratic. The proposals , will
undoubtedly fail to satisfy thu ex-
romists , who demand nothing less
.ban . thu abolition of the sonata. They
nay also irritatu the nioro moderate
icctions of the republican parly. As
'or thu Scrutin do Listo , republic. ! !
ilepntius are equally divided respect-
ng the wisdom of the propose * '
; hangu. Thu bill was sanctioned by
I ho last chamber of dopulies by n
nlondur majority , and thun throwi
out by thu snnntu. There is no evi
dence that thu constituencies have a
ilecidod prufurenco for departmenl
oleotions. Vet they may bo inclinu
to allow Gnmbutta to have hit ovvi
\\jiy ; and his strength , as thu senators
nnd deputies are well awaru , IKs in
the country rather than in the legis
lature.
The recall ot the German minister to
the Haguu is said to have been duu t (
the fsot that bocauao ho failed to prc
sent Prince Bismarck's views of on
lurked facilities on the Rhino will
sufficient vigor to resist the antngo
nistio attitude of the Dutch secretary
of state with proper spirit. Curron
European opinion tends to the belie
that this is the first stop towards th
annexation of Holland to the Gorman
empire , n stop which Bismarck contemplated
tomplated In 1875 , and would undoubtedly
doubtodly have carried into effect i
it had not been for the certainty tha
n war with England would have fol
lowed. There are many reasons wh ;
Germany should covet possession o
the low country , political as well a
commercial. It commands th
months of thu Hhinu and the Scheldt
It is much as though France or Spiii
utnmnndod the mouth of the Missis
eippi an thuy once did , Thu posses
n of Holland would not only giv
Germany control of thu rivers , but
splendid series of ocean ports , whic
slio greatly needs ,
There is no doubt that Hollan
would at once go to war rather tha
surrender her independence , and a
little doubt that England would joi
hands with her in resisting aggrcssioi
Unless bribed by an offer of liolgiui
as the price of neutrality Fianc
might be expected to participate ii
the conflict. In some quarters it is bo
lioviul that this movement of Uismarc
is a ruse to divert thu Gorman mill
from a study of the enormous pretoi
sioiis of his recent "rescript. " A for
uign policy that offers to Germany th
one pri/.o that will completely outlin
her possessions on the northwest , an
open up to her fleets ports of th
greatest commercial valuu , is calculi

It is difficult for oven skilled fumnciu

rmnciit , Since the defalcation of
5,000,000 roubles by the Nicholas

rensury refuses to fill and the credi-
ors demands' are ns pressing n over.
Since the wnr between Franco and
formally ended the growth of the
wo countries in population has been
urious in its contrasts. Germany
ias been increased by 4,500,000 souls ,
ml Franco by only 012,000. Births
n Franco in 1807 were S-'lii in every
,000 inhabitants ; but in 1878 they
were only 25 l-t ! in every 1,000. The
inures which correspond to those in
lormnny are 885 ( and .18 ? . For
1801) ) the excess of births over deaths
n Franco was 140,000 ; in 1878 it was
only 98,175 ; Germany , on the other
mnd , shows an excess for 1809 of
428,000 , nnd for 1878 ono of 550,500.
With these figures as n starting point ,
t is intimated that at the end of the
century , provided that emigration nnd
nimigration do not interfere with the
conditions ns they now are , Franco
will have scarcely 40,000,000 people
to the < > 0,000,000 that Germany will
lave.

A cotton factory is to bo established
in Shanghai under official auspices.
The capital has all been subscribed
and thu commencement of operations
s said to bo only a question of a very
ihort time. If this factory is rtartcd
t will bo n v&ry heavy blow to the
Manchester industry. Of late years
the trade in English and American
cotton piuco goods has become exceed
ngly unpopular in China because of
ho frauds perpetrated in the nixing ,
'or the evident purpose of cheating
iho consumers. In Bombay n similar
company has been formed for thu
nanufacturo of the liner classes of
cotton goods , and it needs but the ac-
, ual carrying out of these projects to
iiako tndia nnd China formidable com
petitors in tha cotton goods trade.
A great emigration from Germany
to Kiii-laml has been going nn of Into
years , and it is estimated that there
ire 100,000 Gunnans in Lmitkmalonu.
Among the lower classes in tjreat
[ owns in England the Gorman is thu
nest-hated man of the times. The
exceeding thrift in which they have
been bred enables Germans to live in
comfort , according to their ideas of it ,
where the English workmen would bo
in misery. This also applies to the
clerk class , who come to largo English
cities exceptionally well educated , and
are willing to work , and work well ,
for the very lowest rate of pay.
The French senate becomes republi
can through the largo liberal gains in
the election of senators by n majority
so heavy that Gambotta can make his
party keep stop in both chambers with
out revising the constitution , and in
spite of the moderate republicans who
oppose his measures. Franco moves
steadily toward a stable equilibrium
under the republic , which has already
lasted half as long as any French gov
ernment in ninety years. The real
test is yet to come , however , in the
course of Ciambetta's power. The
republic can never bu secure in thu
bust sense while there is still n lurking
suspicion that Franco has ono citizen
greater than the government.
Vury satisfactory progress in the
management of tho. French postoflicc
department has in late years boon
made. Two years ago the not profits
were 2 ,000,000 francs ; in 1880 they
were 25,000,000 frnncs , and it is esti
mated that when the present year ia
ended returns will bo made of 1(8- ( ,
000,000 franca of net profits. On thu
1st of January the savings banks in
connection with the postoflico wore
opened.
The number of miles of railroads
which the French government pro
pose ) to take control of na soon as n
bill can bo put through is reported to
bu 2,770. , Tlioru may bo somu mistake -
take nbunt this , ns the miluagu of thu
country is nenily six times ns < ; > ° uat.
Thu cost of conjunction of nil tin.
roads in Franco is sotat I'tt8r > ,277,000 ,
or about $125,000 n mill1 , Nearly one-
fifth of this amount has boon contrib
uted by thu state in subsidies , nnd , ac
cording to the terms , without furthet
legislation all the lines in thu country
become state ruuls between 1051 nnd
1000. Thu subsidized companies now
p.iy 30,000,000 , , oar annum in taxes ,
and at the same timu the government
saves half as much in spuoinl low trims

oping the resources of the country by
numerous branch lines has been fa
vored , specially advantageous loans
having beun made toarioua compa
nies for that purpose.
The right of provinces to property
escheated for want of heirs , hereto
fore miintninod by the courts of On.
tnrio and Quebec , has been negatived
by the supreme court of Canada.
Thuru are numerous cases involving
hiriro properties which will follow this
decision , and steps have been taken tci

her majesty's privy council.
Thu decree providing for the
gradual abolition of slavury in Brazil

Nearly 14 pnr cent , of the population
