Lo anl" So says the so-called "General" Taul Vnndorvoort , who never were a shoulder strap and was never within a hundred miles of a battle. General Logan lias many warm frionda in Nebraska , But under the load of Vandor- voort liis boom in Nebraska will create but very little enthusiasm. Tin : democratic national committee lias fixed the date of their national conven tion for July 8th. This will give the democratic congressmen full swing , as congress will adjourn by that timo. Re public in congressmen are at a disadvan tage in this rospoutunlc3s the democratic house should bo courteous enough to take A recess for their benefit early in Juno , SKNAIOK VAN WVOK delivered nn address nt the Now York board of trade banquet , his text being "Our Public Parks. " Ho made no reference to Hanscom Park , but wo vnnturo to eay that lie made n few remarks about the forfeited land grants and the gre.it landlord monopoly that h being established by foruign capitalists , TJII : explosion of dynamite which oc curred nt the .Florence . cut-off in very aug- geativo. The shook was felt not only in this city , eevon rnilcs diataat , but also at Papillion , which is inoro than fourteen inilos away. IIad it occurred within half a mile of the court house the damage to property would h.vvo . bjon incalculable , Buildings that are regarded as very sub stantial would have boon ruined , and life would have been endangered. There arc many oxploaivea now ntorod in this city , which are liable to produce disaster un less Boiuo precautions are taken. We have in the very heart of the business contru gas works that are liable at unj time to bo exploded by the accidental ig- viting of the most explosive gasses mul oils. In every other city the gaa worki nro'locatod on thu ( outskirts , where au ox < ploiion oould do the least harm. IH il not high time to take soniu steps to prevent vent this reckless exposure of lifo and property in Omaha ? Suppose that i slaughter house or soap factory had been erected in the same spot when Omahn had 0,000 inhabitants , would not the city authorities long ago have taken steps to have ouch oflensivo concerns removed as o sanitary precaution ? The use of gasoline nnd volatile oils is becoming more nnd inoro general in this city , and it will bo a miracle if wo escape a calamity like thai which occurred at Alliance , Ohio , when a whole business block was destroyed anc several lives wore lost by the explosion oi n small barrel of gasoline. Woman's ' Christian Toraperauc Union , the Good Tomplara , and all otlio temperance people are constantly ox hortiug our people against the demon o alcohol and the terrible vices and crime that spring from intemperance , but the never take the first practical Htop in th direction which would abate the won evils of intemperance. They wont tli children in the schools taught about th terrible effects of alcoholic stimulant iipou the human system. They war inoro stringent laws to prevent the sal and manufacture of liquor , but who they are told th&t under the present law every ruan and woman may prevent th licensing of low dona and notoriously du orderly houses by a simple protest , the shrug their rJiouldors and shirk the n sponsibillty , Yet these same people nr indignant when the newspaper docs nc t * . join in the impracticable crusade ogaiiu 'the cnliro liquor trnflic. Why don't the join us in an t-lFort to confine the trad ] to the moro respectable dealers ? Wh don't they organixa their crusade agaim the lorr dens'andgroggorioiandcloantlici out ] Why don't they see to it that the ! eollo Berranta execute the laws ] Wh dna't they organise in business wa giro ui better government ? SKNA TOllIAl The national constitution confers upon ssualors the power to revise the judgment of the executive in .the appointment of federal officers. The language of the con stitution empowers the president to ap point all civil and military officers of the United States by and with the ndvico and consent of ( ho sonata , Under our pecu liar system , the senators virtually exercise - ciso the entire appointing power , so far AS it rotates to federal olHcors within their own states. The president cannot bo personally acquainted with applicants for nice , and , therefore , it lias become usage 3 defer to the senator * in the choice of ppjintcrathathnvo lobe confirmed by the cnato. This practice places presidential ppointmonts in the hand * of their retire- ontatives in the senate , and they very roporly must stand responsible to their onstituciitn for the abuse of this power , 'hoy ' cannot and should not bo allowed o shirk the responsibility under any pro- oxt. Civil service reform cannot be nude responsible for the appointment o ! ishonost , incompetent or disreputable iien M long as the wish of senators it lonsiiltod in appointments , and when nol : onsultcd can readily enforce itsoll hrough the rejection of improper ap < lointoos. The members of the homo cannot hi told responsible for bad appointments locauso their consent in nowhere contetn ilalcd in the constitution , nor is i xactcd by the president , unless tin cnators themselves have aurrondorut ] heir own prerogative. When a bad .ppointinont is made in Nebraska , tlu ocplo will not hold President Arthur re- iponsiblo , but the blame must rest will heir senator. ! . Senator Uanderaon doci iot noom to comprehend this fact. Hie atural disposition is to bo clover and oninl , and his cleverness has betrayed im into a grave mistake , which is liable o cause him a great dual of trouble in .ho future. Instead of exorcising tin rivilogo which ia accorded to senator ; > y usage and law , in conjunction will onalor Van Wyck , Mr. Mandorson has 'rom the outset of his senatorial career died upon the presumption that tin odoral oflicos in Nebraska were the joint olitic.-xl property of the delegation ir engross to bo divided by them like ec nuch merchandise. Each member wai bo apportioned his share of ollicc elders , and members wcro to sup iort each other's choice , regard' sj of fitnoas or anything else , ty this extraordinary compact Sonatoi rlandoraon feels himself in honor bouni o endorse and support any man whoir /alontino , Weaver or Laird may cheesier or postmaster , excepting nlono Omaha STobraska City and Ltnc lii. Under tin atno peculiar arrangement Senator Man orson supports for positions in the hint iflicus not the men whom ho porsonMIj nown to bo entitled to preferment bj e.isou of good conduct , faithfulpjrty SOB ice and competency , but men whom t'u ' ongrossnion may select in their re pectivo districts. As a consoqiienci Senator Mandorson is upon the record ai > n endorser of some of the worst men n STobraska , because Valentino 1ms askoc im to thus help him in payinj lolitical debts to his henchmen lo lias oven gone so far , at the bock o Congressman Laird , as to ask un honest , ud omciont ollicor like Receive weilzer , at Bloomington , to nond in hii osignation , although his term does no expire for three years. And that in ordo ; o make a place for a politician to when Laird is in debt for his nomination Other instances could bo named whicl ivould show in glaring colors the utte mproprioty of this system of barter am trallio in ollicos which hai sprung fron the pooling of the federal patronage b ; Nebraska representatives , It may bo i relief to the senator to get rid of th iinnoyanco of filling appointments but li cannot ufl'ord to shirk the responsibility His constituents expect him to do hi full duty. They do not propose to alloy their senators to delegate their power nnd assign their duties to anybody else They do not even propose tc tolomto condone the or shirking o this responsibility on the part of the son tors through what is known as acnttoria courtesy. If Senator Vnii Wyck rncom mends a bad or incompetent man fo ofllco , it is the duty of Senator Mandor eon to enter his protest with the pros ! dent and cabinet , and if the appointmon is sent to the senate in spite of his prc test , it is his duty to make every cll'or to defeat the confirmation. Soiuto Yan Wyck is hold equally rojpoiiaibl for all presidential appointmontH , eve though endorsed by Valentino , Weavoi Liird and Mandorson. Senator Yn Wyck has no right to concent to u ha appointment merely out of respect an courtesy to his colleagues. The poop ! expect him to do his whole duty , no mater tor how disagreeable and discourteous may bo. They expect him to oppose ar defeat every man whom ho kno/iva to 1 dishonest , incompetent or disroputabli The responsibility of eouatora cannot I delegated to anybody. Tin : democratic national committee , : its call for the next contention , invite democrats in , the territories to elect doh gates whoso admission is to be option with the national convention. As a ml the national democratic conventions d not admit delegates from the territories and if they do they are allowed simp ! the courtesy of the floor without a vet This is right , although it may seem ui onerous. National conventions are suj posed to ba ropnuantativo b idles of th voters who have u voica in the olootic of a president. The usual proportion i such representation la two delegates ft each senator and each member of coi gross. The territories have no votes I give in a presidential election , and it i unreasonable that they should oak tl privilege of naming the candidate. The territories Imvo no votes in congrow. They eitnply have delegate * on the floor of the house , who may vote or speak only on measures Hint concern the territory which they represent. Ilopublican na tional conventions have given the terri tories and the District of Columbia the right to cait two votes each in the choice of presidential candidates. They mitjht with the same propriety giro the women of each state two votes in thoconvontion. The principle involved is the same. Oxr. of the most horrible crimes over committed waa the deliberate murder of Beverly Taylor and wife and their adopt * od childEli/ttJano , Cr.imor , by two no- grocs , for the purpose of soiling their bodici to the medical college. The mur derers have been arrested , and ono of them has made a full confession. They have boon engaged for several months in furnishing subjects for the dissecting ta ble. What surprises us is that none of the Ohio medical college authorities have Loon arrcalcd as necessaries in the crime , for they must have known upon examination of the bodies that they bore marks of violence , and had undoubtedly boon murdered. Why did they not at once inform the ofllcora of the law ? By accepting the bodies and keeping silence , they have , under the circumstances , un questionably become accessories in this most revolting crime , and should bo punished accordingly. The robbing of gravuyards is indeed n light oflenso as compared with this cruel and mercenary murder , the only object of which was test st euro t'hroo subjects for the dissecting table , at fifteen dollars each. Better that all'oxpnrimental surgery bo forever aban doned than that such foul moans bo re sorted to to Bcouro subjects for dissec tion. TIIK BIK : 1ms no disposition to do any man injustice , whether ho is in public or private lifo. Our aim has boon and is to fearlessly discuss matters of public con cern , and whoa wo have reason to believe - liovo that improper methods are pursued to expose and denounce corruption and jobbery. In its career of thirteen years THE BKK has rarely made a mistake iu ita criticia'on of public men , and then only were it has been unintontially misled by erroneous report * . Such an instance has happened in our recent censure of Mr. Joseph Barker , who was charged with an attempt'to force sandstone as a material for curbing and guttering Farnam street. The report as convoyed to us was incor rect. The contract for paving Farnam street with granite includes the entire oh out from curb to curb. The con troversy iu the board of public works was about the curbing of other atroota that are to bo paved with asphalt , whore a choice is to bo made between sandstone and limestone curbing. Wo cheerfully exonerate Mr. Barker from any design of jobbery in the promises. IF such a thing as an insult could bo offered to the memory of George Wash ington , the unveiling of the statue of Robert E. Leo at New Orleans on Wash ington's birthday fell little short of it. Monuments to confederate heroes maybe bo proper enough in their places , where treason passes for patriotism , but it docs seem singular that the ox-confodoratoa must put their leaders upon the same plane as George Washington. The next thing that wo shall hoar of will bo that the confederates will erect a monument to Jeff Davis and unveil it on Independ ence day. r j DAKOTA will probably bo the next ntato , but nho will not be admitted until iiftor the next presidential olostion. The aonato conunittuo nu territories has B agreed t < jroport favorably a bill for the admission of the aouthurn half of the 0 territory oa a utato. A conatitutional convontiou will bo hold on the second Tuesday of next November. ( Senator llimison boliovoa the bill will pass , nnd Senators Mnndoraou , Wilson and othon ooincido with hia viows. TUB tl-irty-dny bonanza senator oi Colorado has ouco inoro entered the arena of politics. Mr. Tabor announces hiinaclf , through his personal organ , us J candidate for governor , and ho promises to USD only legitimata moans to secure the nomination. It is hoped that ho will nol bo compelled to pawn his $ -50 nighl shirts to got the nomination in a legitl mate way. "Legitimate" in Colorado wliuro the voters are bought in horii 11 lots , is decidedly significant. Tin ; Washington Monument soolety.at its mooting on the birthday of tlu "Father of His Country , " accepted foi insertion in the monument a stone fron : \Yyomiug to represent that territory. I is , to bo hoped that the Stone which Governor < ornor Halo has forwarded is not his part ner , John Y. Stone , of western Iowa who is noted for his monumental choel in politics. Tin : Oiimlia loan and building associn tion having proved a oucooss , why wouli it not bo advisable to organise other asar olations on the same plan ? Such assoc ations have been of great benefit an profit to the members in all largo citio whore they have been honottly and proj erly managed. Tim Irish Invinoibles propose to twit the British lion's tall from an outirol now direction. A movement has boo sot on foot to pull Manitoba from Quou Victoria's British-American by a poiooablo revolution. OIIIOAOO hotel men are very jubilai i- over the location iu that city ot the tw o j national conventions. 10 j Wllh Tabor running for governor , ai Chftfleo ami Hill contesting for the United States lonators'iip , there is a big bonanza in store- for thff average Colorado rado voter during the coming campaign. Although nothing Btrongm1 thim IB sold in the senate restaurant at Wash ington , it is claimed that there art ; only two United States senators who arq tee totalers , Fryo and Blair. * CITY WALKS AND TALKS.

Mr. Lltilngor and family have traveled m cr lilt ) preatf r portion of Kuropo. Many of our foreign-born citl/cnn htvo within the pist two or three years ro-vlsitud their native land , mid have traveled over portions of Kumpu that they never vis ited before. Julius Meyer has just returned from a ROY oral months' visit in Paris and In Germany. Hit brother MAX is going ncroH the Atlantic in a fuw weeks to be ab sent several months. Mr. A. 13. liubormnn visits Kunmo about once a yoir. Henry Uolln not long ago ppont several months in Kuropo , as Imvo also several other Germans , whoso namus I cannot reinombor. A trip across the Atlantic in onu of the palatial steamers is nothing at all. It occupies only suvi'n or eight Uavs , whereas formerly it took us many weeks by the sailing vessels. You can skip acioss the Atlantic , and in three or four months you can sco the majority ot the in- tcrestingslghU , and you will hardly bo m'sued.

" ' I intend to po to Kuropo and aeo the sights some day , " said n well-to-do Omaha metchant , "but not until I have seen all that Is worth seeing In this country. I hail intend ed to go to Kuropo first , and do up our own Lountiy uf tervvards , but I was led to reverse my plan by reading u rather humorous but ttuthfiil little story in a newspaper the other day.
