THE Chicago , Burlington & Quincy
having at last invaded Omaha with ita
solid Chicago trains , the other Iowa roads
will probably take the "Q , "
IN the language of Andrew J. Popplo-
ton , when ho delivered his memorable
speech on the Missouri river bottom at
the breaking of ground for the Union
Pacific twenty years ago ,
"This In the day wo long have sought ,
And mourned bocauio wo found It nut. '
SAM. CHAPMAN , the tall sycamore of
Plattamouth , can't BOO where the connec
tion between McCrary's successor and
Tabor's nightshirts comes in , in coco
Mandonou should bo appointed to the
vacant judgoship. If 8am. could only
stop into Mandorson's senatorial brogans
ho would probably out-do Tabor in the
reckless extravagance of $250 nightshirts.
TUB county commissioners , with the
assistance of Howard B. Smithhavo con
cluded their examination of the accounts
and oflicial records of the late Judge
Chadwick. Everything relating to his
oflijo is found to bo in perfect shape , all
entries being fully made down to the hour
of his death. The balance ho nhouid
have on hand as county judge , amounting
to ovorll,000 , is found to the cent , on
deposit in the Merchants National bank.
When it is considered that during his
form of ofllco ho has handled , in his ofli
cial capacity , upwards of 50,000 , it is
quite remarkable , in view of his sudden
death , that his entire accounts can bo so
readily chocked up , and balance so per
fectly with the amount to his credit in
bank. The showing made is a credit to
the deceased judge , and is ono which
other officials might well strive to omu-
! * . . .
The advent of the Chicago , Burlington
& Quincy railroad into Omaha is an
event of the most momentous import
ance to this city. It marks an epoch in
the history of Omaha which mnkos her
ono of the great railway centers not
merely in name but in fact. Now that
the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy has
crossed the Missouri river with its solid
Chicago trains into Omaha , and thus this
cityits terminus , it is onovitablo that the
competing roads from Chicago and St.
Louis must run into Omaha as a
matter of self preservation. Tt ia
now only a matter of a few weeks at most
when these roads -will follow the Burling'
ton into Omaha , to cowpoto with her for
the constantly growing trafllo of thin cit j.
The transfer problem , which has boon a
bono of contention for over ton years , has
at last boon solved by the natural laws of
commercial demand and supply. After a
struggle against advursocombinations , begotten -
gotten through the greed of Sidney Dillon
who sought to build up a rival city at
Spoon Lake , Omaha Jms , by the in
dustry , energy and enterprise of her pee *
pie become a grout commercial center ,
which railroad combinations can afford
no longer to ignore. A city with a pop !
uUUon of over 50,000 and a CO
larger by far than many cities of le
her population , affords a profitable field
, for railway competition , and the shrewd
managers of the Burlington liavo taken
the initiative in bidding for her patron \
age. While recognizing the fact that the
Burlington road has been actuated in its
course by business principles , Omaha
cannot but fcol grateful and the Burlington -
ton can rely upon her good will Bid
patronage.
To the citizens of Omaha , and espoo
ially to the property owners
who have staked their future
upon the commercial supremacy of this
city , tto advent ot the Burlington af
fords aa assurance of permanent pros
perity , It puta beyond all doubt the future
turo gimtuecs of Omaha. The railroad
transfer within ileolf may bring us only
transient commerce. At Spoon Lake the
transfer wai a great drawback to Omaha ,

itnr. soi : COOK : oif ms MUSCLK.
The many Omaha friondsof the famoii *
Ilov. Joe Cook , who listened witli
so much pleasure to his lecture in this
city about thrco years ago , upon his re
turn from his trip around ( ho world , will
bo surprised as wollas pained to learn that
that gentleman has DO far forgotten himself -
self as to lay violent , hands upon a brother
minister. Any ono who is acnuainlcd
with the Ilov. Joe Cook knows full well
that the provocation must have boon
groat. It is indeed a satisfaction for us
to bo able to inform the trionds of Ilov.
Joe Cook that the provocation for the
exorcise cf his muscle upon a brother * of
the cloth was of no ordinary character ,
otherwise the assault would cover have
occurred. The scone of the unfortunate
affair was in the quiet old Now England
lownofKocno , Now Hampshire , whither
Mr. Cook had boon called to deliver a
Incturo. lie had promised the Ilov. Mr.
Price , pastor of the Congregational
church , to attend a prayer mooting at the
church before ho should deliver his loc-
turo. Mr. Cook , exhausted by travel ,
repaired to the quiet of his room in the
hotel to recuperate his energies by a
brief nap. It was undorstcod and agreed
that Mr. Price should call and wako Mr.
Cook at 7:15 : p. m. Mr. Price , forget
ting the delicacy of the situa
tion , rapped at Mr. Cook's door
at 7:074 : p. m. , just seven and a half
minutes ahead of time. Mr.
Cook thus rudely aroused from a
refreshing slumber , sprang from his
bed , opened the door , 'and adminis
tered to the uniortunato Mr. Price a
severe but merited threshing , and at the
same time using loud and boisterous
language , attracting to the scone the in
mates of the hotel , who at first supposed
that Wheeler , the champion wrestler ,
and Fletcher , the butcher , two local
celebrities , had mot by chance and were
Bottling an old grudge. When the true
state of affairs was learned considerable
astonishment was manifested among the
bystanders. Mr. Cook , who had evi
dently taken IcsBons in the manly art
from Professor Longfellow , of Boston ,
excused himself on the ground of justification -
fication , in that ho had buon rudely de
prived of eovon minutes and a half of
much needed sloop , whereupon the poo-
pie of Keene generally expressed tile
opinion that ho had at least reasonable
grounds for the assault. Mr. Cook ,
however , being a man of his word , at
tended the prayer mooting , after
which ho delivered his lecture.
Mr. Cook has since boon obliged I
to appear in print to defend
his assault upon the Rov. Mr. Price ,
who ho says merely wanted to use him as
an advertisement at the prayer mooting.
Mr. Cook in his card says that llov.
Price pounded on the door loudly , and
continued to pound , although requested
to desist. It was not until Mr. Cook
feared that Mr. Price would break the
door down , that ho got up and wont for
him then and there in a manner that
would have done credit to a Sullivan.
It appears that the philosphio Joseph
had been recently troubling his mind
ever the deep and intellectual questions ,
"What is a whot"and ? "Whatis a oublo-
face somewhat ! " It is no wonder that ,
under the heavy montali strain , caused
by the study of such abstruse questions ,
the Itov. Joseph slipuld become angry
at the loss of seven minutes and a half
of sloop.
The moral of thin interesting incident
is never wako a sleeping lion , and give
Joe Cook all the rest ho wants.
THE Philadelphia Press thus intro
duces the now govorncr of Idaho to the
people of that territory : "Tho nomina
tion of our own Judge Bunn to the gov
ernorship of Idaho is notice to the red
skins and Mormons of that benighted
territory that they will have to walk
mighty straight , or bo everlastingly
spanked on the Philadelphia plan. The
.
opaqueness which has hitherto blurred
the moral and political atmosphere of
glorious Idaho must go. "
Tlio oho ok of lightning-rod agents and
iusuranco men is proverbial. Some
months ago the managers of the Iowa
and Nebraska Insurance company had an
advertisement with its prospectus and a
very flattering , liigh-oounding puff in
serted in this paper , setting forth its al
leged advantages and stolidity. After
this advertisement appeared in Tim BUB
the manager of the Iowa and Nebraska
Insurance company , knowing well the
high standing of this paper among the
businois men and farmers , had the
audacity to have it republished in nearly
all the weekly papers in Nebraska and
Iowa as an original editorial endorsement
from TUB BKK. In other words , a great
puff , written by the lightning-rod calcu
lators , was caused to bo published in THE
BKE as an advertisement , for no other
purpose than to bo palmed off in other
papers as an endorsement for which THE
BKE was editorially responsible , thus
THE BKE in the
putting position of a
backer and endorser of a concern of
which wo know very little ,
When our attention was first directed
to tliis shrewd confidence game , wo
supposed that it would never bo attemp
ted again , and gave the matter no fur
ther thought. It appears , however , that
the managers of this company , finding it
profitable to quote TUB BEI : as authori
ty for their high sounding statements ,
have again resorted to the same unscru *
pulous trick. An advortisemnnt which
wasinsertod in THE DAILY DEE of thu
20th of Februarywith the state auditor's ,
certificate of compliance with the stat
ute * , is being quoted as an original edito
rial from this papor. Now , wo feel compelled -
pelled to dlsclaimany responsibility in this
connection , ai wo know nothing about
the management , financial standing , or-
reliability of the Iowa and fcobraska in
surance. It may bo all that is claimed
for it , or It may not. Our columns are
open to advertisers , but wo do not want
advertisements quoted as vouchers from
us in any respect.
No reputable advertiser will take un
due advantage of the privilege of using
the advertising columns of a newspaper ,
and by a trick make that paper rospon-
siblo for statements of which the editor
had not the remotest knowledge.
Tun members of the iowa legislature
nro never at a loss for a speech on any
subject. This is accounted for by the
fact that a "gentleman of education and
experience" advertises in a DCS Moincs
paper , that ho prepares , at short notice ,
addresses for or against prohibition ,
woman suffrage or any other subject de
sired. Ilia terms are $5 for n tun min
utes' speech and 82 for each additional
five minutes , "satisfaction guaranteed
and confidence observed. " Judging
from the numerous speeches that have
boon made during tho'presont sossion..this
versatile manufacturer of addresses has
boon extensively patronized.
OTltK LANDS THAN OU11S.
The signal defeat of Osman Digna's
forces by the English troops under Gen
eral Graham puts a now phase on the
situation of affairs in Egypt. Tho.insur-
roction in the neighborhood of Suakim
broke out last August when Towfik Boy ,
the governor of Suakim , wont to Sinkat ,
where ho remained a prisoner , owing to
the nlaco being besieged by Osman Dig-
na , until his gallant death at the head of
n sortie.
0 < iman Digna's hordes have since then
defeated Baker Pasha's expedition for
the relief of Tokar , and the entire
country between Suakim and Berber was
practically under Oaman Digna's rule.
After the surrender of Tokar Osman
Digno rallied around his banners ever
1C,000 men , and of these it is estimated
that not loss than two thirds wore routed
in the battle near Tob by General
Graham's forces. It was expected that
General Graham would , after reoccupy
ing Trinkitat and Tokar , follow up his
. . . _ _ . . _ _ . .

victory and giro the rebels pursuit. Tlio
British war ofllco has , however , ordered
him to retire to the coast after properly
taking care of the British and other for
eign inhabitant that deserved his pro
tection.
In its Egyptian policy the English
government has made a complete dis
tinction between Egypt proper nnd the
Soudanvhilo at the same time insisting
on the retention by Egypt of the Red Spa
coast. It was distinctly stated that the
roconquest of the Soudan would not bo
attempted , while the coast line -would bo
rigorously hold. Thus it happens that ,
England promotes the mahdi to bo sultan
of Darlour while she gives battle to his
lieutenant at Tob. Although the Gladstone -
stone cabinet has boon materially streng
thened by the success of GoneralGraham ,
the Egyptian policy ia being severely as
sailed by the toricu. Sir Wilfrid Lawson ,
radical , made a violent attack ft\ the
government last Tuesday , charging it
with cowardice , blood-guiltiness , butchery
md jingoism. Gladstone replied to the
strictures of Sir Wilfria Lawson , nnd justified -
tified the policy the government had been
pursuing. Ifo assorted that it was neces
sary to hold Suakim for the present , in
order to keep down the slave trade. The
Marquis of Hartington said iu tho'houao
of lords that it was not a proper time now
to indicate the future policy of the
government in Egypt. The main and
immediate object was to secure the safety
of the remaining Egyptian garrisons and
.
provide for the safety of Suakim , which
was threatened. Since the defeat of his
Houtonant. Osman Digna ; El Mahdi
is not quite so bolliuoront as ho was
before the battle before Tob. A
telegram from Khartoum Bays that
El Mahdi has forbidden sheikha on the
White Nile and Blue Nile to advance to
Khartoum or provoke hostilities. Four
hitherto hostile sheikhs have submitted
to General Gordon.
El Mahdi iccoivcd General Gordon's
letter naming him sultan of Kordofan ,
with ocatacios of dolittht , and gave the
messenger who brought him the lottcr a
robe of honor.
Mr. Gladstone's extension of the franj
chiso bill has passed its first reading. Us
consideration and enactment will form
ono of the must prominent chapters in
the history of that era of British reform
which was inaugurated in 1882. It is
made a government measure , and the
ministry will stand or fall with it. The
question was ono f the isaues
uf the campaign in which the
present houap of commons _ was elected ,
and the dominant party is necessarily
committed to it. The object of the bill
is to place the franchise iu the counties
upon the tame basis as that in
the boroughs , or , iu other words ,
to place the agricultural laborers upon
an equal footing with the manufacturing
workiugmon , At present pecuniary
qualifications are required in the coun
ties which are not required in the bor
oughs , where tha restrictions amount to
little or nothing.
The conservatives will oppose the re
form as a matter of courso. Lord Randolph
fc
dolph Churchill has already given the
key-note ot their position in his declara
tion in parliament that the agricultural
laborers had no knowledge of political
questions or concern in thorn. The lib
eral platform is that the people are to
bo trusted , aud the more implicitly they
are relied on the stronger will bo the
constitution. The isiuo is the regular
old-fashioned ono of the growth of popular -
lar power as opposed to thu conserva
tion of privileged classes. The bill will
remove tlio principal barrier that now
oiints to a practical democracy in the
United Kingdom. Its enactment will
make represent a tion in the house of
commons virtually j > s extensive aa that
in our congress. Scarcely any
but veritable paupora and the
criminal classes will bo denied the
ballots. Thojhouso of loids still remains ,
but has readied u point where it confines
itself to merely retarding ttio progressive
legislations of the co.muona , and submits i
when the popular will is unmistakably
expressed , There is aomo doubt , oven , ,
us to whether it will huvo the dotermiu- '
ation to hold out Against tlio extension
of franchise bill provided it passes the
commons to the extent of compelling
an appeal to the country. The abolition
of primogeniture and entail is talked of.
freely as something which is so sure to
coma in good time that it is not _ worth
while to make an agitation about it.
There can bo but ono ontcomo in the
end to the great parliamentary struggle
enwl
which has just been formally started.
The present house of commonsmay | pos
sibly go to pieces on it , if so the next
ono will insure the adoption of the meas
ure. The wheel which is once started
In this direction never turns back. It
is interesting to note in this connection
that the Parnollitus are reported as
pleased with the present bill , and ns
being ready to support it.
The opinion is universal among all
classes of Irishmen in England , rich and
poor , moderate and extreme , that the re
cent dynamite outrages endanger Irish
lives far more than English ; that oven if
successful they will result in the death often
ton Irishmen for that of ono Englishman ,
and will nrrest all Irish reform tor years.
The toricn already use dynamite as a
strong argument against the reduction of
the franchise in Ireland , and Lord Salis
bury will probably bo backed by English
opinion in throwing n measure which ,
according to thu calculations of English
and Irish , liberal , conservative and
nationalist alike , would give Mr. Pnrnell
ninety followers in the next parliament.
Tlio opinion ia universally expressed thai
an appeal to the American govcrmnon !
by Lord Granville is now certain.
Sir Arthur Wellesley Peel , who suc
ceeds Mr. Brand in the honors and emol
uments of the speaker-ship of the house
of commons , is the youngest son of the
late Sir Robert Peel , who was twice
premier , and was born in 182 ! ) . no was
educated at Eton and at Baliol college ,
Oxford. In July , 1805 , ho was returned
to thu house of commons for Warwick ,
and has continued to represent tlmtbor- _
ough in the liberal interest over since ,
ilia first otlico under government was the
secretaryship to the poor law board ,
which ho hold under Mr. Gladstone's
ministry , from December , 18C8 , to Janu
ary , 1871. Ho was then made parlia
mentary secretary to the board of trade ,
but withdrew from that position in Aug
ust , 1873 , to become the patronage secre
tary to the treasury. This functionary is
popularly known aa the "whip" for the
ministerial party , and ho is paid $10,000
a year for the responsible aud troublesome -
some task of keeping the ministerial
members up to their work.
Ho retired from oflico iu February ,
1874 , on the downfall of the first Glad
stone ministry , and was made under sec
retary for the homo department when
Mr. Gladstone resumed the premiership
in April , 1880. Hu was , however , forcoc
to retire from this oflico at the close o :
the year on account of ill htalth. The
present baronet , Sir Robert Pool , elder
brother of the now speaker , is without a
seat in the house of commons at present
having been defeated as the conservative ,
candidate for Gravesoud in July , 1880
Ho is n political freelance , liberal unc
conservative by turns , and is alwayi
changing his politics. Ho was such i
spendthrift in early life that the premie ;
baronet , who had paid tons of thousand :
of his debts , tied up his estate as tightly
as possible , and loft bis heir and name
sake in a state of chronic impecuniosity
In the race for wealth aud honors ho wil
bo distanced by his younger brother
who will have § 25,000 a year as speako
and the speaker's house to live in , am
will bo made a viscount and given a pen
sion of $20,000 a year for two lives when
ho gets tired of the speakership.
England has asked Russia for an ex
planation of the recent events by whic
the Merv Oaais has been added to th
Russian possessions in Turkestan. I
might have boon well to have inquirec
first of all whether thu imperial govern
ment was aware that anything was abou
to happen in that province , before it ro
cpived the news of the annexation. Th
civil and military authorities in Turkos
tan have boon very much in the habit o
acting without reference to those in St
Petersburg , and of waging wars am
making conquests which were as much a
matter of news to the Czar as to ono o
his neighbors. The recent discovery o
a deficit of ono hundred million rouble
in the accounts of the provinces is quit
a characteristic incident of their manage
mont.
It is reported that England by way o
retaliation moans to annex Boloochistan
the region lying _ _ between Afghanistai
and the sea. As it is a country almos
destitute of agrioultural and mining re
sources , and has only the sc.iutost uopi
latlon , it would not bo much of an addi
tion to the territories of an ompiro. Am'
few as its people are they have show :
moro than once their ability and willing
ness to bo troublesome to invaders.
Russian movements have chiefly al
traded attention abroad , and are all hoi'

A very interesting series of statistic
as to the population of Franco , apar
frcm the quinquennial census , is boin
issued by the ministry of agriculture , th
object of them being to obtain an appro T
itnato estimate as to whether the tota
number of inhabitants in Franco will b
greater or loss at'the close of the contur |
than it is now. The figures so fa
worked out tend to prove that there i
likely to bo a decrease iu the population
for though the population from 180 < i
when the population was 29,107,425 , t
1872 , there was an annual increase of 3
per 10,000 inhabitants , that increase has
since dropped to 20 per 10,000. Thor
u reason to believe that the rate of in
crease is still further declining , and tha
there are not upon an average moro thai
two children to each family. The re
turns aho state that out of every 10
inhabitants of Paris only 30 ere born ii
the department , 57 coming from th
provinces , and 7 from abroad. Moreover
ever , while the number of births remain
nearly stationary , the rate of iufun
mortality is enormous , being as much a
-7 per cent in Normandy and 15 pe
pent for the whole of France. * ,
of
Hero is another nut for England t
a-'crack. The shall of Persia has sent
ricndly communication to the czar "con- ]
ratulating him upon the accession of the I
lorv territory , " and , of'courso , in the
ongratulations there is a promise of all
10 contingencies they imply. Notwith-
landing the professed friendly relations
otwoen the sovereign of Great Britain
nd the shah of Persia , and the gusli with
vhicli the latter was received on his Eng-
sh visit some leu years ago , the fact is
lie sympathies of the ' 'shah" were never
ordial for the patronizing power. Tlicto
was always suspicion of British treachery
t Teheran. It may bo observed that thu
'oi-sian army has been disciplined by
British officers and in the British system.
L fact not to bo overlooked in possibili-
ics.
Cardinal Manning , who has boon ap
pointed a member of the committee of
nquiry into the condition of the Eng-
ish working classes and the character of
.heir dwellings , has very radical ideas of
; ho dutpof the government in regard to
horn. At a meeting of the Shop-IIours
'jabor league in London recently ho elo *
| uontly uphold the right of the state to
ntorfcro between employes and employ
era. Ho quoted with approval the state
nont made by tha younger Pitt to the
Nottingham weavers as to the duty of
jarliamont to interfere in their be-
talf , "Jf parliament bo not sit
ing , " said Pitt , "parliament
must bo called together for
.ho purpose of finding a remedy for the
evil 'r and , lot no man toll mo that parlia-
nont cannot do it , for parliament is com
petent to redress the evils of all that
RUlIor. " After his indorsement of this
declaration the cardinal may bo counted
m to make radical recommendations in
) ohalf of the "outcast poor. "
Since the commencement of work on
