TICK little item of "water coolers , "
purchased for the use of thu lute clem
ocratio congress , cost the country $7-
000. And now some inquisitive people
ple arc anxious to learn what in the
world a democratic congress did with
so much water.
A HAH disappointment awaitn the
blatant barnacles who expect tb use
the Grand Army of the Republic as a
tow line to pull them through the campaign -
, paign next fall. Thu average Ne
braska veteran has cut his eye tcoth
some time ago.
SKNATOH VAN WYDK is after the
surveying swindles , und proposes to
ventilate the land scrip frauds in Ne
braska and elsewhere. A true history
of these outrageous steals in our utato
would till a large bi/.cd volume and
prove interesting reading.
AUKANHAK is already in the throes
of a senatorial contest. Mr. Gar-
land'u ' term expires next year und it
is evident that ho will havu many and
strong rivals. Mr. Garland ranks
among the ablest of democratic iiena-
tors , and cannot easily be replaced by
any timber which has yet boon discov
ered in Arkansas.
ISN'T it high time for Governor
Nauco to call for special elections to
fill existing vacancies1 in the legisla
ture. It is important that there
should bo a full legislature when the
state is divided into congressional dis
tricts and .there is now every indica
tion that tho. legislature will have to
bo convened by the middle of March
if not sooner.
AN investigation by the Pennsyl
vania railroad company lion disclosed
the fact that during the nosaion of the
legislature the company carried fully
two car loads of dead heads on each
train. An investigation by the tax
payers of Punnsylvania might disclose
some additional facts as to what indi
rect pay the rrilroadu received in re
turn for their passes.
Mit. BLAINK'.S explanation of his
Houth American policy will oltoctu-
ally dispose of the falsehoods that
luvo been put in circulation concern
ing his alleged / mercenary designs.
Viewed in the light of this explana
tion Mr. Blaine'fl course cannot fail
to meet general approval. It la the
manifest interest of the United States
to chuck British aggression in South
i America and prevent , if possible , the
* t monopolizing of Houth American com
merce by thu British.
IT is now virtually , settled that the
now apportionment bill agreed upon
by the census committee of the house
will become a law within the next toi
days. Under this bill the nex ; house
will bo composed of UL'O membera.
During the next ten years Nebraska
will bo the only state with three mem
bers. ' Missiesippi , Now Hampshire
and Vermont will have only two members
bers each , while Colorado , Delaware ,
. Floridr. , Nevada , Oregon and Rhode
Island will ony ! have onq memljer
each. In other words Nebraska will
ahead of niuo states in point oi
representation and if Dakota is ad
mitted this winter as is almofttccrtuin ,
she will outrank ten tttates.

their whole duty towards pesseiigorB

where it is absolutely neces ary that
the law should step in and by heavy
penalties for their infraction prevent
the possibility of such dimistoni.
THE UNIVERSITY.
At the meeting hold by the regents
of thu state university last week the
following resolutions were adopted :
llewolvod , That the best interests
if the university will bo nerved by
thu diacontinuation ot Profcsn ra
3hurch , Harrington , Emerson nnd
Woodberry , as professors in the uni
versity of Nebraska , and that they arc
iiorcby notified that their services as
; > rofes8orH will terminate at the end
of the present uccademic year.
Resolved , That the secretary bo in
structed to transmit a copy of these
resolutions to each professor men
tioned.
Only four members of the board
were present , and thcso resolutions
passed in secret scsaion by a vote of
to one. It IH announced that
this nummary proceeding was InsUtu-
ed by the bonrd to enforce discipline
ind establish harmony in the univcr-
ity. These who claim to know the
rue inwardness of tlm now depart-
ire assort that this is simply n pretext
or carrying wit a long meditated
chemo to reorganize the faculty on u
strictly orthodox religious linnis.
It is u notorious fact that Chancel
or Fuirfiuld has been til variance with
uvond niemburH of the faculty us ro-
; ards the religious exorcises which
10 considered an essential purt of uni-
vernity training. Three yeara ago ,
vhen this Hcctarian controversy be-
.weon Chancellor Fairlield and mom-
> ors of the faculty was brought to the
notice of thu regents , they declined to
ntorforoi The legislature was
hereupon invoked to oust Chancellor
' ' 'airfield , upon charge * * which alloyed
hut ho had been guilty of various
buses.
These charge * we regarded as frivo-
ous , and THK UF.H expressed oympa-
hy with the chancellor. After due
nvestigation the legislature dinmissed
hem aa groundless.
Laboring under the delusion that
he legislature approved his attempt
o enforce religious exorcises in the
university thu chancellor has over
HI nee been wrestling with HIOHU mom-
) ors of the faculty wlio did not share
lis'soctariaii zeal.
The action of the board of regents
'urcca the issue und thu people of this
state are confronted with the fact that
creed IIUH become an essential qualifi
cation of professors ut thu state uni
versity. What other eotmlru , tioacim
be placed on the order of dismissal
passed by the board ? They propose to
harmonize the university by replacing
four dioionturtt who do not ugrce with
Chancellor Fiiirlicld on points of faith
by four professors whoso views upon
all essential pointn of orthodoxy
uro in accord with his creed.
When this new departure is
carried into practical effect the
university will be degraded into a
sectarian soim'nnry. Against such an
attempt wo enter an emphatic protest.
The university of Nebraska waa
founded for thu benefit of the whole
state regardless of creed , It is sup
ported by taxation levied upon all the
people regardless of creed und it
should bo ODOII to all our citi/.ons of
all crcods/aiid no creed. Sectarianism
should have no lodgement in thu uni
versity nnd every attempt to make
creed a test of litmiflu among its
faculty should bo frowned down.
What would the pi'otostant people
of the state say if the chancellor ol
the university happened to be a Cath
olic priest and should insist upon Ro
man Catjiolio chapel exercises by the
faculty and students ? Would they
not refuse to bo taxed for such an in
stitution , and raise a clamor for clos
ing it ? And yut Catholics , Jew * , Un
itarians , UnivoraaiiatH , and people who
boliuvo in no particular religion are
forced to pay toward maintaining this
university of which a Congregation
al minister is the head and in which
religious dogmas , repugnant to
them are inculcated til their SOIIH ami
daughters.
If this course is adhered to , the
puoplo of this state will instruct the
next legislature not to vote another
dollar to the university. These who
dt'uiro sectarian uxeruiaes or leligious
Instruction can find it in sectarian
seminaries and colleges. Thu only
essential qualifications to bo exacted
fiom niumbern of thu faculty should
be competency to teachthu branches
of instruction nsxigned to them
an unblemished reputation and moral
conduct. As fur as wo can Iciirn , no
KpeciGo charge of disreputablu or im-
tnoraj conduct ha * been inudo agaiiut
the four obnoxious'1 members of the
faculty. The onlj utnunJ that w"id !
justify thu proponed change in a < k'
niro to enforce belter dhoipliiie , but if
Church , KmiTflnii. Woodlmry and
Harrington nnmt u < > , to impro\e tl ) > '
discipline of thu iitiivi'thily , why
imld oilier muinbcis of the faculty
bo retained whoso neglect of duly is
IcHtriictivc of all discipline' Why do
the regents retain ProfcHHor Aughey ,
who in absent from his post
of . duty moil of the time ,
iKiiged in money making schumos
and joliH in no way connected with
-University. . It snoms to us the
board of regents have lost sight of the
object for which the university was
founded'and wo fear their recent ac
tion will result in thu closing ot that
institution , at least until il become *
Belf-susluining from the income de-
rhi'd from its land gnint endowment.
GAMBETTA'S FALL
The French chamber of deputies by
u vote of 'JOS to 117 have rejected
Oamhotta's bill for a revision of the
constitution , including the provision
for scrutin de lisle The vote was so
overwhelming a mark of censure and
loss of confidence that nothing re
mained but immediate retirement.
\ccordinglyon Saturday the entire
Oambotta ministry handed in their
resignations to President Grevy and
M. de Freycinet waa ut once recall"d
to organize a new ministry.
Loon Gambotta's fall is directly at
tributed to an overweening ambition
for personal power. His famous
measure for the revision of the consti
tution had for its object the concen
tralion of all legislative power in the
chamber of deputies , of which ho be
lieved himself to be the absolute auto
crat. A republican whoso fidelity
to republican institutions has never
been questioned , Gambotta was above
ill things a G mbettisl. With an
unfaltering confidence in his copy
ubilitics to govern Knincu trom thu
tribune of the chamber of deputies he
determined to permit no checks upon
the measures which he proposed to
carry through that body tor repress
ing all Muntiiiient unfavorable to re
publican ideas. It was with thh
view chat ho attempted the radical
nbolition of life sonatorships whose
incumbents had been largely drawn
from the ranks of the monarchists and
nipoorilitits , It was in pursuance of
-hu Hume plan that ho advocated the
election of all roproionUtivos "at
argo , " instead of by the present
method of election by the districts ,
curtailing the power of the senate
und allbrding enlarged scope for the
expressions of the voice iff the people
at the polls. These were the two
ijroat features of Gambotta's revision
upon which he staked success , and
sutl'erod overwhelming defeat. The
three months in which Gambetta has
hold otllco have gone far to prove the
truth of the assertion that his real
place was on the iloor of the chamber
of deputies and not at
the head of the council of
administration. His eibinot from
which so much was expected has failed
t realize any of the dreams of its
supporters. It introduced no meas
ures of lasting importance , inaugura
ted no reforms of existing social and
political abusoH , Mid in both its for
eign and domestic policy never rose
above the level of mediocrity. Com
posed of men oi little national dis
tinction , it was believed to bo the
mouthpiece of the premier. Wanting
in character to inspire public confi
dence , it failed to establish political
stability. No observer of events in
Franco during the past three months
cun fail lo huvo noted the declining
personal support of Gambotta. And
all European authorities are agreed
upon its causo. Franco.is a nation
of hero worshippers. But her heroes
must bo , or must at least appear to
bo , worshippers of France above self.
As the radical young republican * ,
whoso eloquence on behalf of thu re
public tired thu boulevards of Paris
and swayed the assembly , Gamboltn
became thu popular idol. But when
ho assumed thu reins of government
ho became conservative , and the extreme
tromo radicals and rod republicans ,
led by Roehefort , made war oil
him. He ia now shelved to
nuiko way for mon less able , but
more yielding lo the wishes of thu
majority. Hut the time 1ms not yet
como for the permanent rotiremonl of
such u man as Gambetta. Deprived
of his ofliciul dignities he is still to
day the most prominent of living
Frenchmen. No man in France to
day can contest with Gambetta the
power , swaying the masses , moulding
public opinion and of attracting to his
standard a devoted following. Ilia
star so long in the ascendant has been
dimmed hy a passing oloud of un
popularity which cannot long obscure
iU brightness. Ho will still be power
ful in his old seat in the Chamber of
Deputies us thu head of a strong
faction. In the ever changing state
of political parties Gambetla will bo
scon before many months at the
direction of public all'iiim bunked by a
ruling majority , prepared to carry to
success whatever plans ho may convince -
vince hia constituents lo bo lor the
highest advantage of the French re
public.
TUB government directors of thu
Union Pacillc , a tquad of patriotic bocf
eatora that draw ton dollars per day
from the troaauary of the railroad com
pany exclusive of perquisites and frco
lunchcH , have submitted another an
nual report. Thc-si1 so-called reportA
are for the moit part made up nf at I' .
IJ. headquarters hy the company's attorneys -
tornoys , and as might bo expected
they furnish a Ihttormg testimonial
of the matchless excellence of every
thing connected nitli tluroad. . The
only diU'oronco between the present
din i-tors , among whom the Reverend
George Washington Kroat cuts n con
spicuous figure , and the thu directors
who have passed in their checks , is
the marked deference paid to the rail
road eating houses. Why congress
should continue thu f.ucu of having
the Union Pacific "inspected" every
your by a not of voracious dead heads
is one of those au\limu mysteries that
passes our dull comprehension.

I'All Mall ( latette.
Almost every body at one time or
another has dreamed ot whutho would
do if ho wore suddenly to become en
ormously rich , but so few have actu
ally realized their dreams that it is in
teresting to nole how far fulfilment
corresponds with expectation in the
rare cases when a poor man becomes a
millionaire. Robert Uobson , an old
policeman , who spent six years in the
service of Joseph Hume , has been de
clared by the court of chancery , thu
rightful heir of an estate valued at
1250,000 , which has remained in the
hands of the Ecclesiastical commis
sioners since the murder of his grand
father in Manchester in 1742. The
fortunate heir , who is now seventy-
two years old , is staying at an inn in
Newcastle , where ho is pestered be
yond endurance by the visits of allec-
tionate and long lost relatives whore
very existence he had forgotten , to
say nothing of hosts of others whom
he had never met. Among the latter
claimants were no fewer than three or
four ladies , who stoutly asserted that
he was their lawfully wedded husband
and refused to be convinced by the
appearance of the veritable Mrs. Itob-
son that they were mistaken in their
man. This it must be admitted is
somewhat of a novelty. Every one
knowH that money is aulliciont to pur
chase "troops of friends , " but hither

been able to call three or four wives

fatal boiler explosion occurred at J00 : ! !
this morning in the mill ol tie | Ken-
nobco Framing Company. Ono of the
boilers burst with a deafening ropnrt
tlmt jnrrod the Inuses all over the
\ illage an that many persona thought
an orth < | Uako had shaken thu plnco.
The fire ularnm were Hounded und the
citizens rushed to the place , when it
was discovered what had Impponed ,
Telegrams were sent \Vaturvillo
Slid a special < | uickly brought a tire
cngino and eevornl physicians to the
scene of the disaster. When the cx-
ploaion occurred tliero were aavonty
men in the building and nine of thorn
in the engine and boiler rooms. The
engineer , Robt. McCourth , had just
put on steam in order to start the machinery
chinory , when he was blown out of
the room. When found ho was in
sensible , one ear was torn on" and his
face was terribly burned and defaced ;
ho cannot recover. Jno. Avery and
Charles Lalec , firemen , wore instantly
killed , and their bodies were not
recovered from the ttebrls until
late this morning. They presented a
sickening spectacle. Noah Rice , son
of Manager \V. W. Kiao , formerly
warden of the Maine slate prison , was
blown to the end of the boiler room.
Tie was the first one found. His
groans were heard for a short time and
then ceased. When found his legs
wore fastened by broken material.
John Smith , one of the foremen ,
blown through a brick wall and fatally
injured. His face was blackened and
bruined beyond recognition , and Isaac
Farkoy was crushed and fatally in
jured. ' .las. Dicer escaped with a
broken arm and slight bruises. A
number had juat loft the boiler room
and escaped. The boiler was an eld
steamboat boiler that had been patched
a number of times and was considered
very dangerous for months. The
company intended to replace it in the
spring. The engineer says he has
repeatedly told the malingers of
the danger of an explosion. The
management is greatly blamed by the
citizens hero for its neglect. The
property is owned by a stock com
pany , oi-Gov. Carbourne being the
principal owner , and is under the
management of Merrick , who is also
treasurer. The coroner has sum
moned a jury which is now in session
and a searching investigation will bo
had. The loss from the fire is slight ,
out the damage to machinery and
building will bo about $5,000. A
large amount of work was in progress
of finishing and the company has a
number of largo orders to fill. It will
require three months to get into run
ning order again.
