Tnn piteous whine of Dntus reminds minds ono of n dog whoso narrolivi has boon saturated with turpentine OMAHA docs not object to free advertising vortising , except when it is mali ciously given , at the expense of ho ; reputation.

TUB official mourning season is over and President Arthur will now have inoro leisure to devote to cabinet ro organization. IELLEU is to stop into Secretary Kirkwood's shoes next week. Inci dentally , Iowa has thirteen electoral rotes and Colorado only throo. THE Omaia | "mob" of workingmen threatens to bolt the corporation cap pers and vote for men that don't wear the brass collar. Mayor Boy'd must send for troops. ANY move towards independence from Union Pacific politics on the part of Omaha voters puts the local monopoly organ ? into hysterical con vulsions. THE Lincoln Democrat labors mnn fully .through half a column to recom mend democratic principles and bayonet not rulo. If persisted in the efforts trill rupture its bovrols. THE corporation organ-grinders are frightened to death because there is danger that the next city council will bo composed of men who don't wear the brass collar. VALENTINE'S ' stalwart Omaha Uo. publican goes back on the republican party before it has oven hold its con vention and advises republicans to bolt their city ticket and unite with the monopoly democrats in support of men that will represent the railroad interest. This is stalwartism with a vengeance. THE canal system of Ohio has not proved a very profitable investment , and the legislature has before it a proposition authorising the abandon ment of a part or all of them to the railroads. But the board of public works has made an elaborate report against the schedule on the ground that they hold the railroads in chock as to freight rates. ANOTHEII starling discovery has been made A National Press dis patch from St. Paul announces that Dennis Kearney was the instigator of the Omaha strike. Up to the present time wo had innocently supposed that Hosowator was the man , although it was known that during the first two weeks of the trouble ho was some 1,500 miles distant from Omaha. COUNCIL BLUFFS is to bo congratu lated on the marked improvement of the Nonpareil which appuarod as a metropolitan sir column quarto Bun day morning. The publishers have /shown great enterprise in venturing upon the enlargement and their effort will doubtless bo appreciated. While the Bun is gratified at the prosperity of ita contompory , it may justly claim seine credit for paving the way for metropolitan journalish on both aides ef the Missouri. SUGAR cano production in the Uni ted States has steadily increased since the close of the war , In 1870 the production of sugar reached 170,000 hogsheads , and of molasses nearly 17,000,000 gallons. This is a remarkable - able increase over the amount reported ported in 1870 , when 87,000 hogsheads of sugar and 0,000,000 gallons uf mo lasses were produced. But the present yield does not compare so favorably with that returned by the census ol 1600 , which was 231,000 hogsheads of eugar and 10,000,000 gallons of mo lassos. The bulk , both of sugar and molasses , Is the production of Louisi ana. In the present census return11 Missouri is credited with nearly 11,000,000 gallons of molasses and more than 131DOO hogsheads of sugar , Its production of the former article } uu aearly trebled since 1870 , and of the latter more than doubled , MoRAtiziNO monopoly managers nro curious creatures. Mr. Vnndor- bilt , whoso immense fortune has boon secured by watering stocks nnd plun dering the public , is very indignant against the men who got up "grain corners. " Ho thinks it an outrageous wrong that a few men should have it in their power to so increase the price of staple articles as to prevent their distribution , which proceedings ho denounces as virtually taking the bread out of the poor men's mouth. Mr. Vnndorbilt is correct. His sensi ble views uponrtho subject arc the ro- ult of a docroajo in receipts from grain on the Now York Central rend , duo to the Chicago "corners" on that article. His own ox is gored and this sudden fit of morality is the result. But lot Mr. Vanderbilt give us some remarks upon "corners" in railroad stocks with which ho is much bettor acquainted. Lot him denounce as emphatically that liberal injection of water into Harlem & Now York Central tral upon which the commerce of this country has boon paying divi ( lends for years. Lot him throw a little - tlo light upon his attorney's ' expenses for bribing the Now York legislature , and furnish a list of the manufnctur ing enterprises in Central New York crushed out of existence by the outrageous goous discriminations which his giant corporations has practiced since his father first laid the foundations of his immonao'fortuncs. Taking broad out of poor men's mouths is a crime whether committed by the Armours , of Chicago , or the Goulds , Yandorbilts and Fields of Now York. A NEW YonK illustrated paper 'which prints pictures of western towns as premiums for securing subscriptions to their daily , has published nn Omaha supplement , in which , with two excop lions , oyory illustration is stolen bodily from THK BKE'H last annual supplement. The Douglas county court houao and a bank , neither of which are above ground , nro the ex ceptions noted. Accompanying the illustrations is n description of Omaha which must bo very flattering to the local pride of our citizens. Omaha is described as "tumblo'd upon the hills and bluffs and clingipg in all sorts of shapes to the hillside , " while the reader is told that if ho drops upon the city during the annual spring thawa or during one of the oc casional "break-ups" thai occur at regular intervalsyou ' [ will conclude that Omaha mud has no bottom and unite with the merchants of the oity in curses not loud but deep. " This is advertising with a vengeance , > and must bo grateful to the firms who were foolish enough to pay a round sum for the second-hand illustrations and worse than second-hand letter ) ross , under the impression that they were to sot forth Omaha's commercial and residence advantages. In fact , enterprises of the kind under consid eration are the poorest nnd most ex pensive of investments for advertis ers. The paper has a smaller circula tion than THE DAILY BEE , and dis tributes less than one-fourth tlionum- > or cf copies citculnted by the las SEE. ( supplement. There nro .always omo men who , failing to see the ad- nntagcs of patronizing local firms , hrow away twice the amount of money in foreign and worthless insti tutions. A VEUY intelligent mechanic and milder of this oity informed the tlorald last evening that ho already lad lost a thousand dollars in consequence quence of the strike hero. The same jood authority says it is within his fnowlodgo that between $400,000 and $500,000 $ worth of contemplated im provements have boon abandoned in .he city this year from the same cause. Herald As usual , the Herald exaggerates. ' Dmaha has built many air castles on paper every winter , which we're aban doned every Hpring. If all the plans our architects have drawn during the last ton years had boon put into brick and mortur , Omaha would today - day bo a city capable of housing a population of 100,000. Those who build palatial blocks on paper every winter have to invent some pretext for abandoning their contemplated im provements , As a matter of fact , there are .two reasons why many pacer blocks costing in the aggregate $400,000 to $500,000rill remain on paper for a few years longer. First , the real estate gamblers nro making too much money out of unimproved lots to invest in brick and mortar. Second , as long as a certain class of capitalists can rent their tinder boxes to prostitutes and gamblers for double what a brick block would yield from respectable business , they don't pro pose to invest in brick and mortar. THE Omaha Herald speaks in very commendatory terms of Mr. Valentine - - tine for his action in retaining the i troops in Omaha during the riot , and contrasts him with Senator Van Wyck considerably to that gentleman's dis credit. Coming from a democratic source it is to bo appreciated. [ West Point Republican , 'v Senator Van Wyok has never sought commendation at the hands of The Herald , and wo know ho prefers that such favors should bo ro&orvod exclu sively for Valentino nnd other monopoly ely atool pigeons , Senator Von Wyck knows that the favor of The Hera'd ' has alwuy * boon political death to' any republican , OTHER LANDS THAN OCRS- The diplomatic relations of the vari ous continental powers have not ma terially changed during the past woek. Skoboloff , who is naturally looked upon as the exponent of the genuine HUBS fooling towards Germany , is re ceiving a ( cries of enthusiastic ova tions throughout the empire , and his more cautious utterances are tinged with the same tone of defiance to Teu ton ism , which marked his speech to the Paris students. So far from being - ing disgraced by the czar ho has been cordially received , and the rebuke published by the continental journals was probably , if given at all , given only to the press. Meantime dis quieting rumors continue to disturb Europe. Bismarck is reported as say ing to n visiting delegation of the Reichstag that nil his 'efforts were necessary to maintain the peace of the continent. The Emperor William strongly opposes any warlike move , but Bismarck's influence will un doubtedly make itself felt the moment that ho comes to the conclusion that war with Russia is surely threatening. To strike the first blow at nn unpre pared adversary has always boon the policy of the wily chancellor. With an army which requires only nine days to bo in marching order , nnd twice that number of days to send 700,000 men across the Russian fron tier , the advantage of early offensive measures is manifest. It took Russia at the beginning of the Turkish war nearly six month ; to put her armies in campaign. In the event of a general conflict , it is very evident that Germany and Austria will make common cause , and it is equally clear that such a league would only bo at tacked by Franco and Russia togeth er. Italy , both from race , religion , and hatred of the Hapsburg dynasty , would naturally join the Franco-Rus sian allianct ) , but at present she shows no liking ior her Latin neighbor. The French invasion of Tunis has created. BO much bitterness and jeal ousy that many Italian statesmen would gladly embrace an opportunity to restore the prestige of Italy in Northern Africa , nt the expense of Franco , and seek in Tunis the ag grandizement which must necessarily bo abandoned in Trieste. Recent ut terances prove that such a tnrn in af fairs is not only looked upon as pos sible in Rome , but regarded with much favOr" . While it hikes a majority of either the senate or the house of representa tives of oar congress to constitute n quorum to du business , the presence of forty members only is sufficient for D valid sitting of the house of com mons. And yet the whole number of parsons entitled to seats is between COO nnd 700 , the greater part of whom are habitually absent except on occasions of unusual consequence. When a party division is expected the "whips , " as they nro called , hnve to bo restore to rally tho. absentees. On some of these divisions the atten dance is very nearly full , although there nro not seats for much inoro than half of them , the idea in the con struction of the accommoda tions having boon that sitting room for throo-fourths of the members would bo enough. This makes the assemblage rather undigni God. and tumultumous , but the emer gencies which call for these crowds nro exceptional. When the omorgon sios arise , however , the loaders of the opposing parties find but little trouble in rallying their adherents for the itrugglo. The custom of the Liberal "whip" has boon to call his men to gether for occasions of this aort by moans of n circular "earnestly ro luosting" , their nttondnnce. Sir Wilfred Lawson said of this a few years ago that if the word "earnestly" wore not underscored it meant that there was some important political business which might or might not come on that night ; if ono stroke np ponrod under the word "earnestly" it signified that the member ought to come ; if there were two lines under it it meant that ho ( mould come ; if throe , that ho must ? como , and if four , it meant "como , or stay nt your peril. " Parliament is still dragging its length with very few measures of real importance as yet brought to a pas sage. At the beginning the govern ment outlined a programme of almost purely English legislation. Beyond the routine business of supply little has boon accomplished. The llrad. laugh case was dealt with in a spirit of cowardice which will not help the liberals airong the radical branch of the party. The Irish troubles still continue. The expected contest between - tweon the lords and the commons ended in smoke , and the cloture has BO far failed of passage. Meanwhile , the reforms in the law regulating the transfer , leasing and possession of land , for which the English farmer has so long and patiently waited , are put off. An attempt to abolish the law of distress , which gives direct en couragement to the bad management of farms by making landlords indilfor- out about the solvency of their tenants - ants , has boon mot by a member of the ministry with the declaration that it had not boon proved that the tenant farmers wished the law of distress abolished , and beyond that none of the remedial measures mentioned in the speech from the throne have been a subject of discussion. It would seem , if liberal promises to English tanners and farm laborers are ever to bo kept , that the present is an oxcep ttonally favorable time for beginning the An Assoclatod Press dispatch from the Cily of Mexico states that , accord ing to the official returns just publish cd , the receipts of the Vera Cruz cus torn house for February amounted to 8810,950 , being $300,000 more then for the snmo month last year. In es timating the importance of this in crease the fact muni bo borne in mint : that the very largo item of materials carried into the country for railway construction is not included , these materials being entered duty free. This increase , of nearly sixty per con ! is therefore an actual increase of con sumption in Mexico of other parts ol the world largely of the products ol the United States. And it obviously is duo to the stimulating effect upon the business of the republic of the American railways. Already nearly three hundred and fifty miles of the National and more than a hundred miles of the Centr.il are open for traffic ; and although these nro opera ted in dissevered sections and under great disadvantages , it is clear thai they already are arousing the coun try to a now and vigorous commercial life. _ A HEOENT report made by the Brit ish postofiico department shows the working of postal telegraphs by the government to have boon of a most satisfactory character during the fiscal year ending March 31 , 1881. The gross receipts for the ( year amounted to $8,160,430 , and the working expenses ponsos to $5,007,130 , which last in' eluded a contribution of $00,000 to a depreciation fund , to replace sub merged cables. This loft a balance of $2,202,400 , which is equal to 4.13 per ont. on the total expenditure of $53 , 270,855. As the government does not pay more than 3 per cent , upon this amount , it is evident that the tel egraphs nro yielding a profit to the treasury. This is the first time that the receipts were equal to the pay ment of interest on capital , and now there is some talk of reducing the charges for telegraphing by the post- office deportment. The report of Lieutenant Melville , of the Joan otto , to the secretary of the navy , dated at Yakutsk , Siberia , Jan uary 0 , 1882 , and giving news from Captain Do Long and his boat's crow to October 0 , 1881 , is a very melan choly record of Buffering and death. At the time it was written the latest news from DeLong was nearly three months old , and the crews of Melville and DoLong had boon separated for five months. It seems almost certain that the fourteen men and officers of DoLonn's party have perished with hunger nnd cold in nn almost unin habited arctic wilderness. If General Skobolcif cared to accept the. challenges to personal combat which have been showered' upon him by officers of the German army , ho would have all ho could nttond to for some timo. Forty-three Teutons have invited the champion of the Slavs to slake hi ) thirst for gore on the field ol honor. The Emperor William celebrated the eighty- fifth anniversary of his birth on the 22d inst. The occasion was observed with all the pomp and 'demonstration incident to monarchies. The emperor has reigned for twenty- two years , having ascended the throne nl8CO. _ THE growing extravagance of the country is making itself felt m the increased burdens laid upon the shoulders of the producing classes. Congress is setting the example , nnd every legislature and municipality it following in its wake. What the country needs moro than anything else is greater economy in high places. The expenses of running national , state or local governments must.be mot by taxation direct or indirect. The poorer classes pay the largest proportion of our taxea. They pay them in diminished wages , in increased prices for staples , in loss of labor , re sulting from non-employment. The nation , as a whole , is living extravagantly. Our spendthrift class is increasing daily in numbers. The demand for luxuries is affecting all other branches of trade , Instead o laying aside a surplus tor hard times , as a people , wo are living up to our incomes. Instead of spending our money in employing labor and stimu lating healthy production , wo are pa } ing out millions to the nmnufvctun > of foreign luxuries and compelling our own manufacturers to conform to foreign tastes adopted as our own. In the meantime the poor are forced to pay war prices for the necessities of life. Rent , fuel and provisions have advanced in every city of the country. And the pleas of high taxes , increased cost of living and incomes which are no moro than enough to meet the demands of the capitalist's purse , are urged as grounds against an increase of workingmen's wages. It is a season of high prices. Tin so liigh prices are largely the result of our national and individual oxtrava- gance.J IT was a terrible state of suspense. For throe mortal days and night i the managers of the Burlington & Mis souri railroad in Nebraska were in momentary expectation of nn awful catastrophe. A terrible plot had boon discovered by n bogus detective. A nitro-glycorino cartridge had been secretly smuggled into the coal bunk under hendquattcra ot Omaha by the dynamite fiend. For three days nnd nights nobody dared to approach the steam furnace. The half frozen clerks and portera were fright'-nud well nigh out of their witn , expecting n terrific explosion. They recovered in duo time after they realized that they had bum victims of n bogus detective. And now nnother alarm is sounded another dynamite plot is discovered. This time the conspirators have se cured a dynamite machine with a clock work attachment which is to explode precisely nt 7 p. m. on Tues day , April fourth , at six diflcrcnt points in this city when the ballot boxes are opened.
