That's a pretty good wreck in itself. THE Nebraska delegation has endorsed Judge Dundy for the circuitcourt judge- ship. Why not John M.

TUB paving of our streets will bo resumed sumod early in the spring , and pushei vigorously during the season1. The coun cil is taking the right course in makinj all the preliminary arrangements durinj the winter. At the mooting on Thursda ; evening the council passed ordinance providing for the paving of Farnan street with Sioux Falls granite , Dodg street with asphalt and Thirteenth street District No. 27 , with Sioux Falls granite A storm-water sewer is to bo constructs down the contio of Farnam street. Thi work , in connection with the ether street already contracted , will keep up th boom in public improvements. TUB extremely cold weather of th last few days has no doubt caused a gron deal of suffering among the poor and dos iituto people in this city. It is hope- - that those of our citizens who are blessed od with the comforts and luxuries o ; lifo will exorcise a little practical charit ; among these of their neighbor * who nr suffering from the lack of food , fuel am clothing. A little flour and bacon , a foi buckets of coal , and some old clothin properly given to the destitute will b moro of a charity than n liberal cash eon tribution to BO mo foreign missionary sc cioty.

THERE was a great sensation in the eit of Rome on the 14th day of Docombo On thajt day , which will now bo paintc red in the Roman calendar , an old coj of the Omaha Herald was handed by e Italian letter carrier to his lordshi ] Giovaui Lorenzo Millorino , late < Omaha. His "ludship" was shocked i noting that the Herald had changed i policy during his absence , and for om called a spade a spado. So his "lui hip , " who had not intended to write line for publication in the Herald durii : bis visit in Europe , at once sot about I make a correction. The Herald hn referred to Sam. Randall as n-proto tionist democrat. lib "ludship" docan ] that the Omaha Herald will not folio the lead of Mr. Wattorson , or any on else , in assaults upon Mr. Randall. Th opinions hold by Mr. Randall , dt cliroa hla "ludship , " are shared b many able and worthy democrats. Nebraska braska , says he , should speak on thn aubjoct this winter with a voice of prudence denco and wisdom , through ton delegate which she is to spud to the national con vontiou. Ilia "ludahip" evidently stil has an eye on that convention , Inciden tally , however , ho cannot forbear ti mention that ho paid his respects to t on of John Jacob As tor , the New Yorl iillionairo'wJio novr resides in Rome a. Minuter of the United SUtos. His "Jud * Wp" alwtya has boon partial to million , aim. JVDOK KrcnAiirs SUCCESSOR. If it is true , ns wo nro ndvisod by tel egraph , Hint our delegation in congress iroposcs to unite in support of Elinor S. ) undy for tlio position of United States circuit judge , nbout to bo vncntod by Mr. ttcCnxry , the Nebraska delegation grossly misroprosonta the sentiments of thoii constituent. The people of Nobnvskn mvo no confidence in Judge Dandy whenever their interests coino in conflict n his court with those of the great rail' road corporations. Within the psl ihrco years the people of Nebraska have md ample reason to deplore the fact thai Mr. Dundy holds a life position on the United States district bench. They have anon him travel in special palnco cars ot [ unkoting tours to the Pacific coast , pro vidcd with all the luxuries which tin managers of the Union Pacific could pro euro to make his trip pleasant and com fortablo. The oflcct of these free rides and of the dining and wining , has boot scon in the most glaring partiality of tin court toward the corporation that fur nishcd them. Other judges havi traveled on free passes , and ocean ionally have accepted tlio hospitalitic of railroad kings , but wo vontun to say thnt there is not another judge ii America who lias played into the hand of the corporations with as much indidbr once to common decency and publi sentiment as has Judge Dundy. Tli tax-iiddon people of Nebraska wouli have cause to fool indignant should the ! delegation in congress recommend fo promotion to the circuit bench the mai who rendered the infamous decision ii the notorious Plait conu , whereby mil lions of acres of land which had boo forfeited to homestead entry by tin UnionPacifiotToro restored to thntcorpoi ation and kept from the settlors. Whoi that case came before Judge Dundy h had the best means of knowing the Platt , who was a Union Pacific Ian agent at Grand Island , was a moro tot of that corporation. It was a jug-hand ! affair , but ho allowed it to bo tried as test case , and by his docisio lie showed himself to bo n moro puppi on the bench , whom the attorneys of th railroad could handle as they saw fi The people of Nebraska have soon othc outrages pertratod through the mi chinory of that court , which ought I have aflbrdod grounds for retiring tli judgo. But ho is there for lifo and th people are helpless. In view of the fact that the circu court of the United States is obliged < pass upon nearly every important caa in which the railroads are involved , would bo a remarkable spectacle to sc kho representatives of this commonwoalt urging for appointment to this rospoi siblo position a man , who , of all other lias such a strong loaning towards tl : railroads. If Nebraska is entitled 1 kho position , her delegation should prc sent some man vrhoso past record dot not show him to bo partial to ono grot interest as against the comma pooplo. It would bo far bettor for Ni braska to lay no claim to the place thn for her to put a man there who will mal justice a moro mockery. Mr. Dundy hi taken his position with the corporation not only in this ono instance but i nearly every case where they have lie great stakes at issue. Ho haa done th deliberately , and ho has thereby forfoitc all claims for support from the ropresoi tativos of the people if they have any r gard for their constituents. There u : those , of course , in this state \rho alwa ; toady to power and influence. They nu send telegrams , letters and petitions < our congressmen , requesting them urge Mr. Dundy'a appointment , ovc though there may not bo the slighto show for it. There are lawyers practii ing in the United States district con who would sign anything rathi than incur the judge's disoloa uro. But when our congrossmc hoar from the bono and sinew of tl laud , from the farmers and the workii people , and the people of all occuputin who are not directly connected with tl court , they will learn that Nobrasl would rather forego all the claims th she has , than give her endorsement Elmer 8. Dundy for circuit judge. ( the bench Judge Dundy is a genial go tloman , and .has many warm person friends , but that should Uavo no boarii on his iUnojs as the successor of ( ! oor W. McOrary. GKNEIUI , ROSKCUANB , who has alwn boon bitterly opposed to the rcstoratt of Fitz-John Porter on the army roll , Ii changed his views very materially. Ln fall ho made n personal inspection of t entire battle Hold at Hull Run , in cot pany with several Union army oflicn : General Longstrcot , who , It will bo i momborod , commanded a confodurt army corps at 13nil Hun , was also ono the party. Gnnoral Rosocranz formoi shored the opinion , almost universal the west during the war , that Port was guilty as charged , and had be treated leniently by the court. 11 studios have brought him to the opposi conclusion. Ho hai provided himai with accurate maps of the field , and wi full files of all oflicial orders bearing ( the cato. His prominence as an am commander and his recognized ability a military student are already oxcitit interest hero in his forthcoming speed * * AFTER a conference lasting two da ; the now railroad alliance has failed to o : list the Burlington into the pool. Tl refusal of the Burlington to join the poi leaves tlio Western trunk-lino associatic in a somewhat embarrassing positioi The Iowa pool being dissolved , the Bui ingtoii is now at liberty to corapeto o is own terms for all the traffic that i can got. The other Iowa roads hfcv their hands tied , for at least two weoki while the Burlington is considering the novel proposition of becoming a pool within itflolf. This is probably the first mo that a railroad company IIAS boon ivitod to organize a pool out of its own ncs , and it naturally ruzzlcs tlio ninitiatod how that thing is to bo done , no thing is evident that the 20,000-milo eel docs not seem very anxious to tackle 10 Burlington. This is a flat contradic- on of all the prophesies made a few ays ago in some quarters , thnt the urlington could not possibly hold out gainst such a mighty combination. It apponi thnt just at this season of the ear tlicro is not much traflic , and the , ruco of two weeks will materially nflccl 10 business of either of these bolliuor nts. As it now looks the Burlingtor ill bo able to stay out altogether. Iti rat stop in running through Chicngt caches into Omaha indicates that it in ends to hoe its own row.

Nothing startling has happened in tin ild world during the past week. Franc till fills n larger share of the aUontioi ixmong European diplomats than an ; thor country. Her aggressive polio ; ibroad is a source of as much nnxiot ; n Great Britain as in China. On th ether hand the combinations which ar brining against her have culminated in low alliance between Germany , Austria Italy and Spain. With that darin tatesmanship which has always distin ; uishcd him , Prince Bismarck workc until ho succeeded in showing Frnnc that she stood practically isolated amen the nations of Europe. In order t wreak the vengeance for which sh thirsts , she may defy Germany and he allicp , but the republic dare hardly ru the risk. The treatment King Alfons received in Paris , the visit of the crow prince of Germany to Madrid and th allusive congratulatins exchanged b < twoen the Spaniard and tlio Kaiser ai of too recent occurrence to bo moro tha alluded to in connection with the pos tion which Franco now occupies upon th continent. It is a lonely position , bi t will benefit the world if it induce Franco to abandon thoughts of a Eurc poan war and to devote herself ontirol to improving that career of prosport upon which she entered when she dun osido the imperial bauble. Since the fall of Sontay no rcporl have reached us from Plevna to indicat what the situation of the belligerent now is. The French army is undoubted ly making all the preliminary propan tions for the capture of Bacninl Whether they will moot with greater r < sistanco in an attack upon that citadi than they did in their assault on th fortress of Sontay time alone .will shov The French ministry , backed , as the are , by the entire population of France refuse to listen to any talk of modiatior at least for the present. When Franc has occupied the key to China , and ho possession of the entire delta of the Re river , she will hoar what China has < say. It remains to bo soon whether tli Celestials will consent to that arrant mont. Now that Franco has added , e is about to add , the magnificent island < Hainan to its eastern possessions , tl probability is that they will not. The Franco will find herself pitted against n tha resources , political and material , of vast empire which has England as a siloi ally. The condition of affairs in Ireland sti continues to bo the subject of acrioi concern to the British political work It is especially interesting now to take retrospective view of the consequent that have followed the Phiunix park a sassinations. Early in February Kavi naRh , the cor driver , turned informi and impeached several men as the ossa sina ; five days later Carey , who was tl instigator of the crime , turned round an completed the chain of evidence whic the government required ; in April , Ji soph Brady , Daniel Curloy , Patrick Di lanoy , Thomas Caflroy and Timotli Kelly were convicted , and , in n fo weeks afterwards , Brady , Curloy , Pogai Cafiioy and Kelly died upon the go lows. That was ono development i the tragedy ; still another , not le startling , was to como. Carey had take the blood-njonoy , and was smuggled 01 of England to South Africa. Nemos was on his track , however , and on tl 2lth ( of July ho was shot dead at Po Elizabeth by Patrick O'Donnoll. Carey character was so infamous that the Bri ish government might with grace lm\ spared his murderer's life , but it woul not , and O'Donnoll was executed in Nov gate on the 17th of December. In spil of the optimistic aUtoinents put forwai from time to time by Englishmen , thoi assassinations and executions did not in prove the political condition of Irolatu where agrarian crimes , prohibited polit cal meetings , riots , fierce anti-Englia denunciations in the press and on tl platform , evictions and fatal conies with the police , proved that she sti lives in a saddening state of discontoi almost approaching anarchy. The members of the Irish party i parliament deny the accuracy of tli Parnollito programme as published i The Times. Mr. Parnoll , it is statoc proposes to continue in parliament th policy ho haa followed in the past so : sions. Tlio members of his party wi meet early in February to arrange a prc gramme. At that mooting the individui members will bo assigned to watch epoch measures. Tlio cohesion of the member of the party is perfect , and their confidence donco in their loader is stronger tha over. Reports from Egypt as to the whore jbouts of El Mehdi are conflicting. Spit who have arrived at Kliartoum from I Oboid say that the forces of El Mohi have divided , and that his plan is t make simultaneous attacks on Dongoln nd Sonnnr. Small bodies of the forcoa f El Mohdi are hovering around Khar- own and firing at boats on the river and tragglors from the garrison. Thoii > perations caused a report to spread thai 21 Mehdi was closing around the place , nd there was great alarm there. The irrival of a reinforcement of 1,300 Egyp' ians from Foshoda has not increased the onfidonco of the English officers. The non are sullen , of bad physique , and manifest no disposition to fight. The in < capacity of the garrison was shown re cntly when a false alarm was given ol ho approach of El Mchdi. The gnrrisor vheii ordered out exhibited great fear , ind shrank from approaching the sup < > osod enemy. The khcdivo and his ministers main Ma sullen attitude toward the English ofl ! cinls at Cairo on account of the re usal of English assistance in the opera Jens against El Mohdi. Sir Evelyr [ Jaring , the British representative ir Egypt , complains of the deadlock in bug' 'ness. European officials can got noth < ng done. The Egyptian government it willing to assent to the proposal of the lorto to dispatch a Turkish oxpcditior ; o tha Soudan , at the expense of tin Egyptian treasury , through n loan to Joe advanced by England , The khedive favors , as another scheme to provide foi tlio expense of the expedition , the sell ing of a concession for n second catm across the Isthmus of Suez. Sir Evolyr Daring has made a report to Lord Gran villa , in which ho advocates that thi southern boundary of Egypt is dofinitelj fixed at nbout the fifteenth degree of lati kudo , and that an arrangement bo madi with Abyssinia for the maintenance o Massouah , Suakim , and other Red sc ; ports in the possession of E'ypt. In Germany the Vatican visit already is bringing about the relaxation of som of the anti-clerical laws. Another am more important fact is the now nlllanc between Germany , Austria and Italy The report is confirmed that the ropro sontativea of Germany , Austria ani Italy have signed a treaty by which , ii the event of a war between either of th two first named powers or both of then and France , Italty is loft entirely free t take part or not ; but should Franco g to war with Italy , both Gorman ; and Austria are pledged to hoi ; Italy. Until further explanation thi may bo pronounced the moat remarkabl treaty of modern times. It gives to Ital ; everything and asks nothing from ho in return ; not oven the payment of th war expenses of the two most obligin nations. Thin singular treaty was signo ns early as last September , not long afto the rumpus in Italy over the Fronc military movements in Tunis , whic movements the Italians , with a kec recollection of seine events in th history of ancient Carthage , interpreted torprotod as a menace of th island of Sicily and the Italian mor archy. The treaty on this thought ma bo interpreted as a notice from the trip ! allies to Franco to quit in Tunis and br dlo her ambition for further conqucstan colonization on the Mediterranean com of Africa. And the French assembly taking the hint , refuses novr to vote th 810,000,000 asked by the government t aid such colonization. This is the vio' of it most favorable to Italy. There i another not so favorable. There may b a side treaty between Austria an Germany hid away under a busl : ol , by which it is agreed tha Austria ehrll do all the lighting o Italian soil and after the war indomnif herself by seizing her old possessions i Lpmbardy , from which the French on Piodmontoso expelled her after Magont and Solforino. There is nothing in Ital that Bismarck wants or that a man of hi sterling good sense would bo willing t pay the expense of lighting for put of th Gorman treasury ! and it is incredibl that ho should bind his country to sue an obligation with the intention of kco [ ing it by fighting for Italy without hop of compensation. It is oncouroging to observe the bus ness men of New Orleans taking stops t secure the trade of the Spanish-America countries in Central and South Amorici They held n meeting at their produce o : change last Saturday , and institute measures for organizing a now stoamshi company with steamers running in regi jar trips to thpso countries , and recogni : ing the largo interest which the Missisi ippi valley has in this enterprise , the have sent out invitations to all the coi sidorablo commercial bodies in the woi and south to a convention to bo hold i Now Orleans in February for the pui peso of considering the subject. Naorly all the trrdo of the central an south American statou , lying adjacent t Now Orleans and only three to six day sail Honduras , Guatemala , Nicaraguc Colombia and Venezuela , with an nggrc gate population of 10,000,000 goes no' to England and Franco. And yet Enj land and Franco are four to five times n far from thorn as our southern port : Our products and theirs furnish all tli conditions of a mutually advantagoou interchange which needs nothing bi energetic efforts to develop and secure i Now Orleans is the proper entrepot fc commerce , but the west would , probablj bo the largest bonificiary of it , for tl : vessels that now leave Now Orleans fr the Carribbpan countries take out chief ] flour , hominy , grits , bacon , lard an lumber all except lumber being wester products while a very largo proportio of the cofleo , tropical fruits , woods , dj stuffs , and fibres they bring back in n turn are distributed throughout the wes There are great heredity estates olsi where than in England. The lande possessions of Prince Schwartzenburg i Austria-Hungary cover 120 Gonna square miles ; Prince Liechtenstein owr 104 square miles ; Prince Estorhazy , 8 ( and Count Schonborn , CO. The largos estates in Germany are these bolongin to the Duo d'Arenborg ' in Ilanovor an Westphalia , and in the empire there nr twenty-two estates as largo as the moi extensive in England. Tlio Editorial Chair. Editor Wattorson , in the Louisvil Courier-Journal , epeaka as follows abou conducting a newspaper : "Somo poopl estimate the ability of a periodical an the talent of its editor by the quantity e its original matter. It is camparativol an easy task for a frothy writer to strinl out a column of words on any and all nub jects. His ideas may flow in ono weak washy , everlasting flood ; and the com maud of his language miy enable hint t string them together like bunches o onions , and yet his paper may bo but ; meager and poor concern. Indooi ? , thi moro writing part of editing a paper i but a small portion of the work. Tin core , the time employed in selecting , i is far moro important , and the fact of i good editor is shown by his secloctioni than anything else ; and that , wo kuow.ii balf the battle. But , as we have said.ni editor ought to bo usteomed , his labo : understood and appreciated by the gen errl conduct of his paper its tone , iti uniform , consistent course , aims , manli ness , its dignity and its propriety. To prcsorvo these as they should bo pjo- crvod is fully enough to occupy the time md attention of any man. If to this bo added the general supervision of the de- ails of publication wnich most editors invo to encounter , the wonder is how they got time to write at all. " Another One.

Jen county , N. J. , that the rabbit hunters are organizing a series of circular hunts to clear the sly chaps out. They have chased the rabbits - bits out of the woods and thickets , compelling them to take shelter in the open fields , where they are moro difficult to catch. A party of hunters duck shooting in Butter county , Mo. , claim to luuobeen chased into a lake by a cyclone last Wednesday. They said the ducks wore so frightened by the cyclone that they came right closa around them , and they slaughtered a v. hole boatload. John Calvert , of Lcgan county , Ky. , sot a stool trap to catch an owl that had been poaching upon his honnery. The next morn ing the trap was gono.
