TUB STATUE OK LinKRTY.
Burtholdi's statue of "Liberty Enlightening -
lightening the World" is nearing comple
tion , and arrangements are being made
to provide for the pedestal , in Now York
harbor , upon which the colossal structure
is to bo erected. The statue is a gift
from "tho young republic in the old
world to the old republic in the now
world. " At a banquet in Paris in 187"
it was suggested Hint this statue should
bo erected at the cost of the French gov
ernment , m commemoration of the
American centennial , the understanding
being that America should contribute an
equal amount toward the pedestal , In
nearly every city in the United States
contributions are now being received in
sums of ono dollar , the idea being to
give the people of this country an oppor
tunity to become personally interested
to that extent in the great work. Those
contributions are to pay for the podostal.
It seems strange that something has not
already boon done in Omaha in this mat
ter , and it is hoped that our city will not
bo unrepresented in this great enterprise.
The pedestal proper will bo 181 foot
high , and upon this will bo placed the
colossal statue , 150 foot in height.
Two quadrilles can easily dance in the
head , while the little finger nail is fourteen -
teen inches in width. In the hand oi
the figure is a torch which will bo sup
plied , at the expense of the American
government , with an electric light. Tim
statue will bo a greater monument of
man'n handiwork than the Colossus ol
Rhodes , which in its day was regarded
as ono of the Savon Wonders of the
World.
The statue is built in sections of twen
ty-two foot , of ribs ot stool and iron , and
is covered with beaten copper. It will
bo anchored to its pedestal by stool rods ,
securely enough to boar against wind
coining at the ruto of ono hundred miles
to the hour , which is twenty miles more
than ia allowed for the Brooklyn bridgo.
The selection of Bodloo's Island , as the
site for this testimonial of direction Iron ;
ono liberty loving p6oplo to another , hac
boon deemed a wise ono , commanding at
it does the view of very many cities , and
also being a visible point to incoming
vessels from foreign climos.
The city of Now York and some ndja
cent towns have already raised $150,000
The nation at largo is asked to contribute
toward the remaining § 100,000. Up tc
the present time the bulk of the func
has boon in subscriptions of from § 100 t <
$5,000 ; it is now desired that small sub
scriptions of $1 or less , shall come froti
the hundreds of thousands of poopli
scattered over the land. Considorabli
work has already boon accomplished 01
the pedestal , which is being orocto <
bv General Oharlos P. Stone , late o
the khodivo's army. There are eight ;
men at work on the pedestal with oigh
superintendents who inspect every particle
ticlo * f cement and stone used. Whoi
completed , each state of our union wil
bo represented on the pedestal by ;
memorial stone , and grand coromonie
will attend the transportation and eroctioi
of the great statue. The president o
the United States , the governors of al
the states , the delegates from abroad , a
well as other distinguished citizens , wil
bo invited to bo present at the colobra
tion.
RESIGNATIONS IN TIIK PATENT
OFFICE.
The old axiom that "fow die and non
resign , " as applied to government aj ;
pointoos , does not hold good in regard t
certain employes of the patent offici
quito a number of whom have rcsigno
from time to time , to engage in businoi
for themselves as patent practitioners.
The resignations have occurred umon
these receiving the highest salaries , ranj
ing from § 1,400 to ? 4,500. These moi
by their long experience , have bocon
exports in the patent business , and liai
ir acquired a practical knowledge of invei
ira : tions and mechanism of all kinds , whic
in they have found would prove of greati
10 value to them as patent lawyers ar
id agents than as employes in the patoi
to ollico. The salaries paid , while soomiii ]
rs ly hig l , are insufficient to retain the so
ry vices of mon who have become specialist
10 In the majority of cases it has bee
10 demonstrated that these exports wl
id have established themselves in indopon
ida
a out practice are making moro mom
ir- than they could over hope to earn as go
lie ornmont employes. In some instanc
mon who have gained a reputation f
unusual cleverness in some particul
branch of the arts and sciences are giv <
an interest in an established businc
P. where the first year's income is thr
tie times that paid by the government. <
terre course the patent oflico suffers from t
ro- loss of some of its boat exports , and tin
rove
vo places can onlj bo supplied either
for educating subordinate employes to t
ivon required standard , or securing the si
on vices of skilled men from the outsit
ivo The patent oflico is ono of the most ii
U , portant departments of the govcrnmoi
ib- millions are involved in its transactioi
ire and the matter of salaries ahoi ;
in. not bo allowed to stand in t
in.of
of way oi retaining exports of long expo
Ion once and acknowledged ability. Tliegc
ted ornmont can well afford to pay ualari
xvo that will induce such mon to remain
tote the service. It is a matter of the utruc
to importance to inventors , manufacture
bore - and others interested in rights scour
re- by patents to have men perform the wo
aid committed to the oflico intelligently ai
ref efficiently. The commissioner of pater
i of says if it were Uuo that larger foes wet
TO- bo necessary in order to make the ofli
oal self-supporting by the employment
I to I such mon , the persons who p
ng-ltho expenses of the oil
his would not hesitate to pay t
iifio increased fees. Money is well expend
his by &u applicant when ho is shown by t
state of the art that ho is not entitled
a patent , .although ho oaks for ono , be
cause , whorb " < > " n ° l entitled , if a pat-
out is granted t''o > "imply exposed to
expensive litigation if to uses the in/on-
tion claimed. The fat > t is tint , unlike
any other branch of the government the
patent ofltco is not only self sustaining ,
but yields an annual revenue , And for
this reason , if for no other , the govern
ment can well afford to pay liberal salar
ies.
THE retirement of Mr. Carl Schurz , a
few weeks ago , from the editorship of
one of the leading journals of Now
York , on the ground that irreconcilable
differences of opinion existed between
him and his associates with' regard to the
conflict of the telegraph and railroad
mon with their employers , has awakened
curiosity in no ordinary degree ; and
hcnco when he defines his position upon
the question at issue , viz : "Corporations ,
their Employes and the Public , " an ho
does in the North American Jtcview for
February , ho is sure to command an at
tentive hearing.

OTHKR LANDS THAN OURS.
The authority of the khedive in thi
Soudan is practically at an end. Scarce
ly any of the Arab tribes now romair
loyal to Egypt. Khartoum , the metropolis
olis of that region , has boon ovactuatct
by all non-Mohammedans. It is cstimat
od that there are 11,000 Christians am
Europeans who will bo the victims o :
Mosolom fanaticism unless they can bi
immodiatly transported to upper Egypt
It is stated that a largo number of tin
Christian population of El Oboid have
boon murdered by the followers of thi
Falsa Prophet. Largo caravans of tin
Coptic populace are on the way fron
Khartoum to Berber under a guard o
troops. Arab mobs are attacking tin
Copts throughout the provinces of uppoi
Egypt. Everything throughout uppoi
Egypt indicates the immcdiatos spread o
the insurrection to lower Egypt. All tin
European and Coptic merchants havi
evacuated Berber. At this critical June
turo Captain Richard Borden , of thi
British army , the recognized authority ii
Mohammedan movements , advises tin
recall of Arab ! Pasha , now in exile a
Colombo , Ceylon , and the use of his ser
vices to suppress the Mohdi revolt
Oapt. Burton writes : "Tho Soudan one
thoroughly aroused , the light of the fir
will inflame the whole Moslem world
Arabi Pasha has already proclaimed I
Mohdi , of the Soudan , an impostor , urg
ing that the savior of Islam must com
fram the Arab tribn Koroish , to whio !
Arabi Pasha belongs. Arabi Pash
would proclaim a religious war agaim
the impostor , causing all the Bodoui
tribes to forsoko El Mohdi. "
It is doubtful , however , whether Ca [
tain Bordon's advice would bo followed
and it is moro doubtful whether Aral
Boy would undertake the difficult task c
driving back the hordes of El Mahdi.
The conservative press of Great Bri
ain express great hopes that there wi
bo a dissolution of parliament before tli
end of the session. Liberal opinion soon
likely to split up on several importai
points. Ono of these is the represent
tion of minorities which has always bee
a bono of contention between the whij
and radicals. It is now believed that tl
government will introduce a franchii
3 ,
bill only without the redistribution <
scats. If Mr. Chamberlain should su
coed in conferring upon the Irish oqu
rights with the Scotch and English , tl
most prolific cai\so \ of discontent in Ir

10 amount of support that the nation

: h ulization in
campaign England and Sco
or land. Mr. Parnell is opposing the Da'
id itt-Goorgo combination , and approves i
idit the proposition that the national loagt
itB should hold aloof thorofrom. The Unite
Br - Ireland attacks Mr. George as no re
rs. - friend of the Irish party. Mr. George
s. lecture , however , promises immense p
s.m cuniary return. No league support
wanted , as the public interest in tUo quo

The Marquis Tsong declares that t

to that over two hundred thousand Obln <
troops are navf ntmed with Remington
rifles. Strong earthworks and fortifica
tions are being constructed upon the
roads leading to Pokin , especially on the
road from Chung IIai Kouan , as the
Chinese engineers think that invasion by
any other route is impossible. Thn Gor
man government will send Captain Paar-
clien to take command of the Gorman
naval squadron in Oliinn , which com
prises two corvettes , the Slosch and the
Loipsic , and two gunboats , the \Volf and
the Iltis. Captain Paarchpn is instruct
ed to co-oporato with Admiral McDowell ,
commander of the British squadron , in
the protection of commercial interests.
The situation in Spain is ominous of
trouble for Alfonso's rule. The conlition
between the two factions of the liberal
party under the Jcad of Senor Horrtra ,
by which a working majority in the
curtos was secured for the ministry , has
como to an end. Senor Sagasta shrinks
from carrying out the programme of re
form to which the ministry committed
themselves in the recent speech from the
throne , and the republicans refuse to act
with Senor Herrora nnd his advanced
liberals , because they are monarchists.
An a consequence , the ministry have
failed to secure a majority by a coalition
with either the party to the right or that
to the loft of them , and n dissolution is
imminent. In fine , the device of parlia
mentary government , which once was
thought a political euro all , is breaking
down at once in England , the country oj
its invention , and in the continental
countries which have adopted it frpir
her. To succeed it requires the existence
once of two parties only ; and the tendency
doncy to individuality in modern politic !
has resulted in giving , not two parties
but half a dozen , to every national legislature
laturo in Europe.
The full text of the treaty botwcor
Chili and Peru has at last reached us. Iti
terms are such as naturally would bo so1
by a power that won the eight by con
quest to impose its own conditions. Tar
apaca is coded absolutely to Chili , anc
Tacna and Arica are to bo occupied tn
Chili for ton years , at the end of whic !
period there is to bo a vote to ascortah
whether the inhabitants desire to bccomi
Chilians or to remain Peruvians , and tin
annexing country is to pay the othoi
$10,000,000. Half tao guano horcaftoi
produced is to go to the creditors o
Peru. These are the main provisions o
the treaty , which is reinforced by ai
additional protocol , giving Chili the righ
to maintain an army of occupation unti
its terms are ratified , and binding Peri
mcantimo to maintain the occupyinj
forces by the payment of $300,000 i
month. These are hard conditions , bu
there seems no escape from them. The ;
leave Peru a dismembered and bankrup
country.
The Duke Calvino , of Trapani , Sicily
who was recently captured and carried ol
by brigands , has boon released after 3
days of arrest , of which the greater par
was passed in a hole under the bottom o
a cave , while the brigands treated witl
the lamily of the prisoner for his ransom
which they fixed at 50,000francs. Wha
was actually paid the Sicilian papers d
not say , but the negotiations seem t
have been undisturbed by justice or th
law , and the duke was released loyall
by the brigands on receipt of their ulti
matum , which in Italian mercantile truii
sactions is always half the original dc
mand. Nothing is likely to bo done , fc
the condition of Sicily is so general !
outlawed that no section of the countr
can bo taken in hand separately. Trat
olers intending to visit these shores ma
take warning.
Rev. Mr. Shaw , the English missionai
at Madagascar who was so roughly troa
ed by the French , give a sad account <
, the methods of civilized nations in dea
ing with the friendly nations of tin
island. If wo may believe him , 10,00
barrels of rum were imported at Tami
tavo in a single year. The stuff was e
cheap it could bo bought for a sixpenc
a quart. As a result of its introdutio
the people , who are fond of it , are bi
coming debauched soul and body. The
will no longer work moro than enough t
supply their pressing wants , and apppt
to bo rapidly approaching the conaitio
of degradation which has supervene
upon the introduction of civilized mot !
ods into the Sandwich Islands. Mi
Shaw , speaking of the particular rosponi
ibility of hia own countrymen , sayi
"Tho British nation with ono hand send
the Bible and missionaries to teach the :
people and with the other pours into tli
country that which washes out at on
swoop both the moral and religious lifa c
the natives , and conducts thorn to a
early and certain grave. It is to tli
disgrace of those ttpeaking the Englis
tongue that it was their voice which wi
uplifted to prevent the native govon
inont from imposing a higher duty upc
this importation , and so restricting i
some measure the evil ofl'ecta upon the
people. "

GREAT REVIVAL
Nebraska City Wafces UD with the
lew Year ,
Anil Starts in AVHh 1'lniiB for Great
and Small Improvement * * .
Special correspondence of The- Bee
NEIIKASKA CITV , Jnnurry 17. Nebraska -
braska City , the tamous old town on the
"Big Muddy" is waking ap from her
Rip Van Winkle sleep of nearly twenty
years and may bo said to have started in
with the now' year on the top of a little
borvm , which , with the inflatun ot capi
tal and enterprise will reach enormous
proportions before 188-1 shall have
closed ,
The now year ushered in many im
provements and now enterprises which
reflects credit on our city and I will try
and enumerate a few for the benefit of
the readers of THE BEE.
The "sun shines by day" but dark
nights ; our pathway is illuminated with
gas. Our city council have entered into
a six year's contract with the gas com
pany to light our principal streets. No
moro docs the stranger to the city from
the late trains have to stalk up from the
depot enveloped in stygian darkness and
his other clothes , but rather ho walks
our streets with as much confidence as
ho would do so in broad day light.
The Morton house , our now hotel , and
the finest in the state excepting the Paxton -
ton of Omaha , was opened to the travel
ing public last week. It is run by that
prince of landlords , Joe O'Polt , formerly
of the principal hotels of Lincoln ,
Brownsville , Falls City and elsewhere.
The Morton is furnished throughout in
elegant style , ia heated by steam , has
electric bolls and fire alarm in each room ,
cjlovator , etc. , and under Joe's watchful
care it cannot fail becoming ono of the
loading resorts of the stato.
Our now B. & M. depots were used for
the first time to-day , and hereafter all
business both passenger and freight
will bo dona at the now buildings.
Conspicuous ampm ; the enterprises
which have started is the Nebraska City
Barb Wire company , which was incor
porated last week , with a capital stock of
840,000. ' E. S. Hawley , R. F. Mo-
Comas , C B. Bickol and Goo. M. Fish
constitute the company , and are all mon
of means , who will push things lively.
The company will erect buildings to the
amount of $20,000 at once , and proceed
as soon as same are finished , with the
manufacture of barbed wire in immense
quantities.
The Nebraska City Turbine Wind Mill
company has also commenced operations.
The company is composed of F. C. Lam-
both , GV. . Svoab , D. T. Hayden , J. F.
Welch and A. H. Southwick , the paten
tee. They manufacture the celebrated
California Turbine wind mill , and calcu
late to supply the entire northwest from
their factory in this city.
Our second pork packing establish
ment , which has been the subject of
much notice from the state press , is still
in the prospective and a splendid pro
spective , too. Our citizens have already
raised the $0,000 necessary to secure the
grounds as a bonus to the now enterprise.
Cupid , that little winged dairy , with
no clothes but a bow and arrow , is rush
ing things lively now a days , no less than
ten weddings per week being the out
come of his labors.
Since the opening of the now hotel a
spirit of rivalry has- taken hold of our up
town business mon , and many are the
schemes advanced to head oif the busi
ness to the now hotel. Ono of these is
said tobo a solemn compact entered
into by the west end merchants to buy
no goods of a drummer who stops in the
past end. A nioro commendable scheme
is that a syndicate of "Up-town Dutch , "
so-called , has been formed for the pur
pose of purchasing the Grand Cental ,
the west end hotel , and converting it
into the finest hostelry in the state.
B'l'ho great demand of Nebraska City It
now "moro tenement houses , " and the
capitalist who will invest his means in
20 to 50 tenements is on the sura road
to woalth.
A. scheme is on foot to purchase the
iarnum house , and remodel it into a
strictly first class opera house. The loca
tion is out ) of the best for the purpose in
the city , and that wo need a good open
house ia patent to all.
Several capitalists have nettled among
us , slid are preparing to invest then
moans in Nebraska City. Ono gontlemar
has already signified his intention oj
starting a canning factory of large
capacity , providing ho can secure a partner
nor in the enterprise.
Ono of our saloon-keepers advertise !
two glasses of boor for a nickel and thiei
whiskies for a quarter , and still semi
folks are not satisfied.
While your readers are smacking thai :
lips and pondering on the last-mentioncc
item I will close , promising to lot yoi
know moro about our city in the future
