The political earth' ' quake extended from the Rockies to the Atlantic coast. Oheyenno wasn't half as badly shaken up as Now York. ST JOHN , is defeated for governor in Kansas , and prohibition has rocciv od the blackest eye of th'o season , Ono happy result of the late election will bo to take the question of , sumptuary legislation forever out' of our domi nant political parties. MANY readers of THE BKK in Iowa as well as elsewhere , will join it ii ! ! congratulating Mr. Pusoy over his election in the Ninth district. An derson's disroptuablo canvass , no less than his record as a railroad tool , losi him n seat in congress. Mr. Pusoy is a staunch anti-monopolists , a gentle man of moans who cannot bo tomptcc by the corporation lobby , and a man of sufficient courage nnd ability to make his voice heard in congress on behalf of those reforms for which the people hnvo spoken so loudly. NEAKLY sixteen millions was takou from the national debt last month , or at the rate of ever $180,000,000 per annum , It is high time that that re duction should bo limited to fifty mil lions yearly. Our load of taxation is foolishly and unreasonably heavy The superfluous taxes which obatruc our prosperity ought to bo stricken off by congress , and future generations ; for whoso sake the debt was partly incurred currod , should ba allowed to share in the work of paying it off. TUB democrats have captured con gres and will control legislation for al least two years to came. They gain two congressmen in Connecticut , three in Wisconsin , two in Iowa , ono Now Jersey , nnd enough from other states to completely control the noxl national legislature , It is n cheering nud oifintfieant fact that a large pro portionof tbo defenders of the river and harbor steal hnvo boon retired to pri vate life by the people , nnd their places filled by men who nt ( east nro believed to bo honestly willing to rep resent the wishes of their constitu i , enU.j Bon INOKUSOLL is out for Genera. Sherman as president in 1881 , ns the only man upon whom all classes of re publicans can unite. Whether Popi Bob's judgment ia at fault in thin re spect there can be no question tbut hn strikes the nail on the head when ho attributes the republican defeat to tin persistent refusal of the party to ro duct * taxes , their insane craving ufto office , and their reckless extravagant in appropriations , Nothing but bitto lessons of defeat oould bring thes wholesome truths before the part ; bosses , nnd if they are appreciated an acted upon , the election of a republican can pre'd nt two years hence is uo an imp.h ibility. The republican party , or r ber the party organization t ยง now on the mourner * bench , and its conversion to common Honse and ac cord with public soutiuioiit ought to bathe one result worthy of oongratn iation M flowing from the late election I GENERAL SHERMAN .i .ND THE ARMY. General Sherman's suggestions re garding the army , embodied in his nnual report just published are prao- ical and common oenso. llo advocates n Increase of enlisted men to the lumber of 7,000 making the full rmy strength 30,000. So long as our oldiors are compelled to act as mo- lianics and laborers in building and epairing frontier posts , making roads nd eroding telegraph lines , the iroaont force of enlisted men is nsuflicient for the duties which ro required of them. Another uggestion which affects Omaha s the military center of the depart ment of the Platte is that frontier losts shall bo consolidated and dur- bio quarters , oroctcd for officers and men. This was the policy advocated iy General Crook when in command f the department , and which is also pprovod , as wo understand , by Gon- ral Howard. The concentration of roopa on the lines of railroad whence hey can bo quickly transferred to cones of trouble calls for ubstantial garrisons ' at .these ontral pcstn. Omaha has icon greatly neglected in the military pproprlations , and the ramshackle uartors at Fort Omaha arc a disgrace o n post of its size nnd importance , i'orls Snolling and Loavonworth , the cadquartors of the departments of ) akota and Missouri have been gcn- rously treated through the energetic efforts of able congressional dolega- ion , while Omaha and the depart ment of the Platte have been forced o content themselves with crumbs. ! ortu Omaha , Sidney and Russell , ill need a thorough rebuilding , .ho erection of solid and sub- itantial quarters for the garrison lave become a military necessity. \nd when the much discussed ques tion of our dopartmon t headquarters s settled it is to bo hoped that pro visions will bo made for the construc tion of a building which will bo com- nonsurato with the Importance of the command. General Sherman congratulates the country that within the last joar there ma been a gratifying decrease in In dian outbreaks , . Arizona La quiet now , owing to the admirable taot of Crook , who is tagging and counting the Apaches , and all fears of trouble in any of the northern departments have subsided. In general the discipline and condition of the army is excellent. STKI'.S should bo taken at once to prevent in the future the disgraceful delay in counting our city voto. Forty-eight hours after the election Omaha is still in the dark as to who will constitute the delegation from Douglas county. More polling pro cinots are needed in the first place. Ono for each ward is not enough. The polls aro' crowded during the election , and the restrictions regard ing the count make the filling out of the tally shoot an all day and all night job. In a general election separate arato ballot boxes ought to bo pro vided for stoto legislature nnd local ballots. This in the plan adopted in Now York , where the votes nro counted every hour. In consequence the result of the election is always definitely known by midnight. Another much needed reform is in the direction of the employment of competent olorks of election. A largo portion of the delay of last Tuesday's count arose from the inoompo toucy of some of the clerks , tiovoral oould scarcely wrlto and a number had not 16arnod simple addition. As n consequence a recount was necessary in several of the wards. Long delayed olootlonreturns always arouse suspicions of tampering with the votes and ought to bo avoided , D. W. MATTIIEWS , postmaster at O'Noll , who has boon doing Valon tine's dirty work in Holt county , tele graphs to the editor of Tin : BEE , "havo hoard from you Ilolt county i Yes wo have hoard that n gang ol scroundula have contracted to make bogus returns in favor of Valentino from the Fact Niolrarn reservation as an cfTiot to the honest voters oi Holt county , whereby it ia expected Valentino will bo counted in for third term. Matthews must have bean drunk when ho penned that tell tulo dispatch. Ho has opened M mouth and put his foot in it. If there is any justice in Nebraska ho and his cotfoderatoa will ore long bo assigned to duty iu Bill S tout's stone quarry. WKSTKUN NKUIIABKA was flooded with bogus democratic tickets , with Valentino's name sandwiched between the sUto officers , where the fraud could not bo detected. Hundreds ol democrats were thus imposed on and cheated out of their choice. Even with these fraudulent votes counted for him , Valentino is defeated unless ho can doctor the returns from the cow boy district. VAI. didn't carry the precinct he lives iu , and his county gave Monger a handsome majority. This affords striking proof that those who know him best have no confidence In him. TUB next legislature will ba called upon to deal with important question * .fleeting the relations of the people and the railroads. Chief among those will bo the reduction of fare * and freight tariffs and the astesiinont ol railroad property in accordance with some plan which will compel it to > oar its duo proportion of the burdens - dons of taxation. In the time which must elapse before the opening of the ogislativo session TUB BRE will pro- Bent to our legislators elect tome ntorosting and instructive figures on the subjects referred to. JUDGE FOLOEK comes out of the York canvass with clean hands , tfo ono has doubted for n moment his ntegrity and ability. Ho was unfor tunately forced into bad company by men in whom the public had no confi dence. In hin defeat the people sought the overthrow of the Barney Blglins and the Steve Frenches , and , ho custom house politicians who have disgraced Now York Republicans. NEW YoiiK'fl anti-monopoly league las carried the day against the rail roads , The free canal amendment is adopted by a heavy majority. Now ook for a drop in freight rates. From Duluth to the mouth of the Hudson .hero is a free water way open to all shippers. IT may bo moro desirable to have THE BEE s opposition than its support , jut the headstones in the political Mvcyard do not scorn to sustain that idea. WIEKE is Brad Slaughter and the ox-consul of Chemnitz ? Can't they bake charge of the returns and count Loran Clark in as state treasurer. PRESS COMMENT. Not Surprising. Chicago Time ) . A year ago such n political revolu tion as was consummated in this country -Tuesday would have boon considered Impossible. To-day it excites - cites not even a ripple of surprise Much has boon * done in the past three months bytho chiefs of the defeated party to convince the American people ple that , in the interest of political morality and common public decency , a change was necessary. The effect of that work will bo almost universally accepted ns in accordance with the eternal fitness of things , While it is true that democratic members of con gress were 'no loss guilty than the ether party in forwarding the stu podnous achomos of public robbery in eluded in the acts of that body , the people determined that the repub licans , controlling both houses and the executive , must bo hold-rcsponsi bio for the oftonses which they had the absolute and uncontested power to prevent. A Republican Victory. Denver Trllmno. It is n bad year for the bosses. It is a climax for the corrupt scoundrels who have stained with their cor ruption the Intentions and desires of decent nnd honest men. It is n ren naisanco of republicanism against the domination of thieves and scoundrels who have stolen the party name to use as a mask for their own depravity. And It will stand in our history as the year in which the great party ol humanity , intelligence and progress1 shook off its vampires and arose to its old vigor and its old strength. The Homan Spirit. Pioneer 1'ross. ' For weeks past the real battle has boon waged by republicans against ro publicans. It is the irrepressible con fllct of this ago whoso issue , long fore told , is now upon us. The republican party is the party of moral ideas , of progress , and of reform , or it is worse than nothing ; a moro stranded hulk , in whoso useless boilers and rotten timbers every sort of vermin may hide , and hasten the process of natural decay. If once given ever to corrupt influences , to tho' management of loaders whoso Ultima Thule is self- aggrandisement , it is like a lovely and virtuous woman gene astray. The depth to which it may fall is only measured by the height to which it alone aspired to climb. And its members are determined in n holy purpose that Jt shall never oomo to this dishonor , Sooner than BOO it what lea inglorious opponent nont has boon , the prostitute of every now-born heresy fitted to catch the votes of a day ; the tool of design ing men whoso ambition knowa no country , no party , no honor ; the desecrated craft of n piratical crow , flying the black flag of nntocratio rule and official plunder , they will , with that subordination of personal affec tion and attachment to public duty which has boon apotheosized under the name of patriotism from im memorial time , sacriQso it bravely yet tenderly ; destroy it with their own hands , lost a fate moro ignominious and moro shameful bo its portion. It Is A pitiful sentiment that would not Inflict present chastening to avert future turo disgrace. The spirit which ani mates republicans to-day is the spirit of tbo ancient Roman , who decreed the death of his own son that the law might stand in its integrity , though his heart was broken and his life's light went out in darkness at the act , Threatened Disintegration. Now York Time * . It will matter very little what the specific outcome of the , elections to morrow may bo the figures of the majorities or the adjustment of nar row advantages the intelligent ob server knows to-day as well as he can know on Wednesday rooming that this campaign has changed the condi tions of politics ! success for both parties ; that each is threatened with disintegration in the communities where it has hitherto been strongest ; that now questions are engaging" attention of the voters , which will make the old questions comparatively iusicnlficbnt , and that of these new questions the moat Important , the most formidable , from the politician's stand-point , is the organisation of parties and the way in which their moral force hai been repressed. The political "probabilities" for the next two years indicate decided change from every point of compass , and the shrewdest of the signal officers do cli e.to venture any predictions u to their effect.

Fall , charged with conspir acy to corrupt juryman in the star route trial , was placed under $4,000 bond to await the action of the erand jury. TIIE 6TAn BOUra INIQUITY. The statement made public to-day , said to have been voluntarily made by Frank H. Fall , under oathyOctobor 10th , begins by assorting that ho ob tained the impression from an inter view with Browater Oamorom , Juno 14th' , that the government dcsirod to obtain ovidoncp of the misconduct of the star route jury , past or future ; ho was engaged at $10 per day to ascer tain if any members of the jury were corraptablo ; reported to Cameron every night ; Juno 24th , talked with Thomas B. Foote ; from information obtained from Richard T. Lawn , con eluded that Brown , a star route jnror , was approachable , and told Fpoto BO ; afterwards negotiated with Payne and Footo looking to securing curing control of Brown's vote ; a compact was drawn contemplating paying $2,500 and presented to Brown by Payne , but the former refused to sign n paper , Baying it was a detec tive job ; Brown , however , said ho would do as wanted if paid $2,500 , and would control juror Martin ; Fall refused to pay the money wltnout a contract was signed. Seeing by the newspapers that Brown had made an affidavit charging _ Payne with at tempting to bribe him , Fall sought an interview. The statement that Brown offered to sell his vote to whosoever wanted it for $2.500 is a lie ; Payne promised to make affidavit to this ef fect ; Footo was then sought by Fall and his aftidavltuj > talnod ; Footo want , od $2,000/forTtfle / affidavit ; Footo finally wrote a letter addressed to Brady , Dorsey & Co. . demanding $1,000 before the affidavit would be delivered : Payne wanted $1,000 for an affidavit that should agree with Foote's ; Detectives Richards and Miller lor took Payne to Colonel Ingersoll's house on Sunday , October 18 , and Colonel Ingersoll said the affidavits were wanted for the purpose of "downing" Attorney General Brow- sior , Cameron and Corkhill , all of whom would have to go when con- grow mot and began the investigation of the star route business. It was agreed that Foots should make his affidavit andgtvo it to Payne ; that Payne should hold the affidavit until ho made his own or until they got $1,000 which Miller demanded for his , but that Richards got possession of the affidavits and refused to give it up. Fall says , while in the omploo of the government , ho spread the impression that ho was workin ? In the Interest of the defense , and ho autho.ized others to say so. The result was that John U. Oox approached preached , him repeatedly , and said he had two jurors for sale , and whenever Fall qad money Oox was engaged to bring in his men. Richard T. Laws claimed that through Brown ho brought about the disagreement of the jury. Law said ho was employed by the defense to influence Brown , and lie did so. FOLOER AT WOKK. Secretary Folgor resumed his duties at the treasury department to-day. In response to an inquiry of a representative - sontativo of the press , the secretary said ho was not' yet prepared to suy when ho would issue another call for bonds , but thought it probable , however - ever , that within a few days ho will conclude to anticipate the payment of bonds embraced in the hundred and eighteenth call , which was issued Oc tober 10. Secretary Folger this afternoon di rected the assistant treasurer at Now York to redaoiu United States bonds which has been called in for redemp tion , at the rate of $5,000,000 per week , THE LAND GRANT QUESTION. The lawyers of this city who have boon engaged to examine precedents and authorities , with a view cf appeal ing to the United States supreme court foran injunction to restrain the commissioner of the general land office from issuing any moro patents to land grant railroads which have not completed their road ] in accordance with the granting acts , and for the purpose of obtaining jndicialaction on the entire qu&stion , to-day completed their appeal in conformity with the arrangement ) and mailed the same to New York , whore it will bo examined by the leader * of the anti-monopoly league. The question ia creating much interest. UK SAVIMO ArrABATTS. Paof.

During the conclusion of Melville's story to-day ho described the wreckIng - Ing of the Jeannette and said , "It must have been about 11 o'clock at night when they loft the ship and took up camp on tno ice , All hands had boon paired off into mosses. There were about five tents , the mosses con- listing of about seven persona each , They had to chanuo their quarters be fore midnight. About 4 o'clock in the morning witness heard some men cry out There she goes ; take a look at her ; this is the last chance you will ever have of seeing the old Jcannotto. ' The ship then wont down in about 38 fathoms of water. As long as the ice kept together the ship was all right , but when it parted she wont down at once. Witness wont out with DaLong and saw the remains , of the wreck. BnUNCINO A DETECTIVE.

England In Egypt. Cincinnati Commercial. England's position in Egypt would be Improved if shu accepted the situa tion with candor , and assumed the re sponsibilities that prass upon her without fiction or. reserve. In the-first place , she has a greater interest in the peace and prosperity of Egypt than any other nation possesses. She needs Egyptian cotton , and she must have the Suez canal , as nine- tenths of the ships that pass between the Mediterranean and Ited seas bear her flag. Eurppo deserted England in the Egyptian difficnliy , and she took the extreme measures demanded at her own expense of treasure and blood. Arabi did not represent a revolt merely , but a revolution. The defeat of Arabi was the conquest of Egypt , and the khcdivo , know so pompous , .is but the puppet of the British , The responsibility for the fate of Arabi rests with England. If ho is cxecuicd his blood will bo upon her hands. England is responsible for the peace of Egypt , and must crush the false prophet as well as the mili tary mutineer. Why should she not do the things needful without dis guise ( The Turkish rule has long been but a shadow It is a shadow that must pass away , No ono will believe In the disinter estedness of England. She is most deeply interested. Why should she conquer Egypt single-handed for Eu rope at largo ? She has not been guilty of any snch folly. Sbo has taken the half-way house between the two great divisions of the British empire. Wo take it that Dufftrin's mission to Egypt moans that the British fleet and army are there to stay. The Indian cavalry should have boon retained , and a few swift gunboats for the Nile would be of the highest utility. Let Franco console herself with Tunis , and Germany and Ruassia go on with frontier fortifica tions. England needed Egypt and has it. She has the immense advantages of possession , and even Mr. Gladstone cannot afford to surrender the fruits .of victory , o ESTABLISHED 1868. r = SCV - K ' - * ? \LlZ 3Mt& 3IUESP1UNO ' ' ATTAC'IIUENT-NOri'ATKNT ED.
