RO8EWATER < Utor IMMIGRATION la falling off In Novr York , but the rash to Nebraska still continues. IK the contest between the police and the bnrglara in Omaha , the burg * l rs , at last account ] , were eleven potnta ahead nnd fooling unusually well. OMAIU is growing rapidly , bat THE BEH Is doing its beat to keep ap with the procofslon by supplying one paper toordrytrro rotora. in the olty and county. IF Secretary Tellor'u rocout doolalona are to bo taken as an indication of his future course , the people will have reason to congratulate thomaalvcn over President Arthur's selection. THE leading plank of the democra tic platform nt preeont seems to bo ' ' . " Is in Ha 'Policy. Policy good place , but actions and earnestness apeak louder than words. TIIERB was aomo nound common aonao In the remark of Ool. MoDjn- aid , of the editorial excursion party , that our ichool facilities after all were bettor Inducements to a good class of immigrants to settle in Nebraska thnn our opera houses and our great hotels and factories. THERE Is a strong probability of a lively rate war on , Chicago and Council BlufTi business. The Ilcck Island refuses to admit the Milwau kee & St. Paul road into the lown pool , and there are already rumors of cut rates and correspondingly email profits to the companies. Lot the good work go on. TUCRK la talk of a Know-Nothing movement among the Now York dem ocrats , which will Icavo Tammany Hall out in the oold. That would bo a pro- grjmoio worthy of the fmo-hairotl orowd who are under tbo Bomail thumb of Mr. Tildon. One blow from John Kelly's tomahawk would anni hilate the party which tried it on. IOWA REPUflLIOAHS. The Iowa republican convention moots next month at DCS Molnos. It 1) intimated in some quarters thtt the meeting will bo an occasion of more than ordinary excitement and that the party will take advantage of the op portunity to rebuke emphatically the members of the aupremo court who dared to deny the constitutionality of the prohibitory amendment , If the IOWA republican convention desires to disrupt the party organiza tion they can adopt no surer moans than the persecution of the judges on the supreme bench who dared ta do their sworn duty agaln t their private inclinations. It Is a well known fact thtt four of the members of the court were prohibitionists on principle. Their decision nas ren dered in accordance with their oath to protect the constitution , and not in consistence with their personal prefer- onces. The function of the supreme bancb is to bring all laws to the test of the constitution , not to the stand ard of popular clamor. All that the Iowa judges , following the plain mandates of that Instrument , have done , is to doolaro that the leg islature did not observe the form laid down for amending the constitution , and to deny that a majority vote may do away with constitutions altogether. And yet , agitators who are incensed at a failure which is duo to no cause on earth but to their own carelessness , radical prohibitionists , who care for no restraints of law or governments when they are balked in the immed iate accomplishment of their own do- slgnr , and oven a part of the public press , are loud in their denunciation of judges who did not choose to violate late their oaths for the ( satisfaction of pcpular clamor. Iowa republicans will make a very serious mistake If they yield for a moment to the cry which demands the deposition of an honest judiciary , Such a coucBslon will drive thous ands of honest and honorable voters trom the ranks of the party. No or- ganlzitlon which makes one of its oar * dlnal principles the doctrlno that the minority "have no rights which the majority are bound toreapect can long remain in ppwe'r < THE DEARTH OF MINISTERS. Complaint la made by the Presby terian general assembly of the dearth of ministers. Over 500 societies have no pastors and there are no ministers for them. The number of students entering the ministry la s'ald to be yearly growing smaller , while the demand is greater than the supply , There are several reasons for this condition cf affilra , In the first place , as pointed out by President Eliot , of Harvard , Ulonted and ambitloua young men ore ahunnlnj the ministry because they re- fnio to put their minds In the irons of an intellectual bondage , The laity are in advance of the mini- try. The pen la becoming bettor ed ucated and more liberal than the pul pit. Butwoon the pressure of church councils on the one hand and the force of liberal advance on the other , the minister , if hia mind la at all renal- tlvo to the inilaonco of modern criti cism and culture , IB certain to bo placed in a most uncomfortable posl tion , To remain in the church la often to belle hla own convictions. To loivo it ia to find himself pursued by ecclesiastical hatred. The amallnoss of the salaries paid to ministers by their congregations is n < ) t , aa Dr. Herreck Johnson looma to think , the chief cause cf the falling off in candidates for ordination. Ability ia recognized nowhere ao quickly aa la the modern pulpit , and mediocrity nowhere no generously tolerated. The salaries paid to clergymen generally are fully equal to what the same calibre of men could earn in ether callings. In our largo cltloa clcquonco and piety are liberally rewarded by handsome otlponds , ad miring congregations and long and frequent vacations , Wo should bo norry to think , as Dr. Johnson Booms to Infer , that the chief motive in entering the profes sion which ho follows la the eordld one of pecuniary reward , If It were gsnerally understood that men fool "cillod" to the ministry almply with an eye to the salary which they are likely to command , the profession would rapidly loao much of its influ ence on tha miiBos. Wo do not bo- Hove that to ba the case. The use fulness of the ministry Is being con tracted by the uarrow-mludcdaoa.1 of church organizations and the cramp- lug restrictions of church creeds. Other fields lie open to the talented and the ambltloui , where there Is equal space for morel and more room for Intellectual development. This ia the ono great reason why the ministry is calling aloud to our colleges for more oandHntrii of talent and culture , and the reply is only the echo of the cry , GKOROE B. MCCLGLLIN haa boon In terviewed on politico , nnd ia r.till for "a change of baao.1' ilo believes thit absolute free trade la impossible , and thinks the domooratlo party should oirao out for n tariff f3t revenue only , Ilo epoko warmly of Ilaccook , and thought ho might bo again nominated by the democracy. Qauornl McClel- lan kuowa mora about war than politics , and ho has nnvor boon brilliantly snccoiafnl at cither. THERE are rumors that the Mis souri river la threatening Leaven- worth , and is cutting the banks very seriously near the approaches to the Rock Island bridge. The Ktnsaa Olty Journal c lls upon the govern ment engineers to combine with the railroad company and secure the nee- Denary protection. OHIO republicans are preparing for the conflict and bombarding the ene my with interview after interview full of bright hopes for the future. Char ley Foster of courao prophesies repub lican success , and the Cincinnati Commercial is equally sanguine : The leading candidates for the governor ship are Judge Forakor , of Cincinnati , and Joseph Turnoy , the atato treas urer , ana Foster thinks one of those men , or possibly Controller Liwronco , will bo agreed upon beforehand and nominated in the convention by ac clamation. The democratic candi dates are Hoadlay , a brilliant lawyer , and Durbln Ward , and it is reported that Thurman will go into the conven tion to push the latter , The battle will ba fought , the governor saya , mainly on the liquor issue. The platform will have a high tariff plank and the usual meaningless timber , but the real istne ia already made up and cannot bo changed. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS Interest abroad during the last week has cent-red on tlreo eroDta of import ance : the Papal circular , the coronation at Moscow , and the hostile invasion of Madagascar by a French army. The first of thtso aa ultimately connected with a great religions organization whois spiri tual Influence is only bonnded by the boundaries of tbo globe , Is cf more than passing Importance. It Is mora than pro- bnble that Pope Leo XIII ha * uncon sciously done more to destroy tha last lingering vestiges of faith in Koine's tem poral power than all the continental con * troverolei of the past twelve years , The Papal letter has fallen like a firebrand in Catholic Ireland and Protestant America , and the result la o storm ol indignation at what U called "the unwarrantable In terference of the Vatican" which has broken oat In violent denunciation on the part of rriii ] agitators and sullen refusals of labmlisloa ham a peasantry who re gard the result , as A triumph of JCnRlJsh diplomacy , at.

Of all the children of the Holy Father , Ireland has been tbo moil loyal , devoted and un- queittonlng. Spain , since tbo accession to the throne of Alfonso , has well-nigh loit the right of -overelfn to ba called "Ills Most O.thollo Majesty , " and papal Inter ference in filtlri ot state U thsre tolerated no more. In France , the hold of the church , through the piltstn , upon the snf friges of the people and the plans of the political leaJorr , U broken. The policy of Germany to abrogate the power of thepopo In all matters outside of mere eeclctlaitlcAl discipline and matter. ) of faith bin been rigidly cmletl out. And tbo temporal power of the pope In Italy not only came to an end long > RO , but It came with so violent n crath that "the Illustrious pris oner of Home" lost , even with devout Italian Cathollcr , a prestige which haa been heretofore left to him In riRions rnraoto from tbo Imperial city. On nonce accounts the revolt will be welcomed. Home's spiritual Influence lias never , perhaps , been stronger than at present , but temporal Infallibility hni received a death bow in the home of lUfrlendi. That dogma , o earnestly combntted by the friends of liberty every where , and nowheio mnr so than by tha devoutest of cur Amsrican Catholic bish ops , must ere Ions ; bo fjnlttly shelved , In matters of religion Catholics will still lank to the church. For their polities they will lefuse to consult foreign author- Itler , whether they nro located in West minister or at tuo Vatican , ffverftl more arreitn havn taken pheo in Ireland , but no events of startling mo ment hive transpired since the last re view. Tha Dublin comm'nalnn ' has closed Ita tmslan.

That ic , the ftvoidtn o of unworthy means In pnr- Mila ? a worthy cause ; ths dishonor and the d ngsr of staining with rccret crlma the efforts for a snUering country , Parliament has resumed its sessions , but the government delays In fathering Mr. Dobion' * English land bill , which Mr , Gladstone has Intimated he would make the test of tbo government' * stability. At the lama time there are no Indications as yet th t tbo ministry propone to Intro , dnce the awespingmeature demanded by the KigllBh radlculR and the Scotch Far men' Allianco. H.ivln ; ; tided the storm of the Uradlauph defeat , the premier ecins dtepoted to gather ntrenptli by a short period of inaction. An Interesting seen1) took place In pirlUment on Thurs day , when the government was questioned concerning the allege : ! Intrigues of Mr. Krrington , the Uagliih amba 8kdor nt the Vatican , whoso visit to Homo , It Is charged , resulted in the papal circular. The amwors of the premier nra considered ns uvmlvo , and doupenthe impression that Downing strojt wan advised in advance of the forthcoming letter of the Vatican. France la all for war. A French army of conquest htu landed nt Madagascar , seized the custom honno nnd raised th standard of tha republic. This la a wan ton not of greed against a peaceful and de- fenaeltBi power which Ia Intended to neu tralize the Brit'iti influence in l ynt and ndd new poaiosalons to the list of French colonies. The Malagasy omuiwnderi who are still In Kngbnci enter their protest and call for foreign Interference , The/ an nounce that the nntivea will fight to the death. Ainu and aminuni nn are being forwarded Irum England There It , how ever , no probability thnt the helpless na tive * of seml-Chrlstianlzsd Madagascar will receive outride assistance.

It asiorta tbit nu the 2Jth of March the cltndal of llnnol was attacked by 1,0 JO Auuimltea or Chiusno , who wsra re pulsed and the next day were driven six mllcR und dispnrstid , From that time un til the 7th of May all was quiet , but nn that date 12,000 tnoro Chinese Boldtora sail ed from I'oldu toward * Tonqutn , nnd the admiral of th French II jet WAS instructed to prevent them from landing , There are nt present , it is said , thirty-three compa nion of French marlnoB in Cochin China and Tonquiu , but the reinforcements are not t go forward until the government should vote the appropriation for the ex pedition. AB thU IIKS been done It is like ly we shall bear of warm work from that quarter before long , for even if the king of Tonquin should accede to the Kronen de mands It is not likely that China will con sent to this summary appropriation of n vassal Btato without a struggle. Moscow Is thronged with visitors and all the details have been perfected for the cor onation of the czar , according to the elabo rate programme already noted. Tha sig nificance of the ceremony ia not generally appreciated. The czr , while uncrowned , haa very little power as monarch , being , so to say , a minor holding the reins of state more by oourtosy than by right. He can not proclaim war or conclude a trsaty of peace , nor csn he entorthelmperlalthrone room , or confer the grand cordon of any of the decorations. All orders Issued by him are null and void * -nless they be conn- tsrslfnod by two of the ministers of state , the body of which they form apart actlag In cvtrylrespect a regents of the empire during the czar's political minority. Dur ing this period he bu no right to the fafty- six title * belonging only to the crowned czar * , but ia addnaied aimp'y as Alexan der , and , an a matter of etiquette , c r of Rutsla , Under these circumstances it Is not singular that the various czars should hvre always hastened tbsir coronation In Moscow ai much as possible , being natu rally unwilling to be nnder tutelage which In the mtjority of oases U obnoxious : and hitherto successors to the thione have , with very few exceptions , been crowned within two months of the deaths of their predecessors Advices from West India port * are that the steam-r A'rro , waa engaged by the government ol lUytl to convey arms and ammunition to Miragono. A great battle took place April 27th , Uarzalene slaught ered the government troops until they wers forced to fly a flag of truce asking the sus pension of hostilities to bnry the dead , Two government vtisols came lu shore to render assistance , but Barzalcna covered them with his guns and snnk them.

Since then be has not l > eon much In accord with his party , and hU appoint ment to the governor generalship if Oau- ad looks as on excuse for gettfcg rid of him , He Is rather a dull man , yet far above the average of bis clois. Ho ia married to one of tbe beautiful daughters ot tbe Duke of Abercora , tba thau tory lord lieutenant of Ireland , snd the heir to hla title , a son , Is now II years of age. Tbe marquis U perhaps best known as an Irlih landlord , Ha owns teviral extsn- slve tracts In the countlss of Cork and Kerry , and has been charged withunusuil harihnjM , even for an Irish landlord , to his tenants. He Inherits a bad reputa tion , too. 89 many ot the pauperized tenants wern force i to emigrate fror.i bis estates in 1817 and 1818 and died in the work homes in New York and Montreal that some of ( bo wards In these establish ments are yet known as the Lansdowne wards , Tbe various governments of Europe are drilling thslr armies fur active tervlct b ; sham tight * amd military maneuvers of great extent , Tbe Kaglteh troops mads n tine display at Brighton not long auo ; a part of the German army , about 60UOO men , Is to execute a series of complicated maneuvers along the river Main bsfjre long ; the French army , during tbe months of August and September , is to occupy the country between Chalons and Chartrea for a series of military oocrt- tlims and maneuvers , and the Itsllan troops and fleet are btlng concentrated in tbo south for practice In combined man euvers.

The Anglo-Indian govern ment now steps In with a law giving the tenant an absolute right of occupancy after twelyo yeirs1 cultivation , and pro hibiting the tcnint contracting himself out of this right. This is practical confisca tion of nn admitted property right , just as' the Irish land net was , but it Ian step along a path which every government seems forced to travel or face revolution.
