THR republican council electing n

Tur. aonato has cortalnly berne oft" all
the honors for work during the present
session of congress. While the majority
in the house of representatives have wast
ed their time in bickering about their
party groivancos , the senate lias passed a
great amount of important legislation.
IT is now considered a very smart
thing for a Democratic paper to refer to
the Cincinnati riotn and invite Senator
Sherman's committee to investigate
thoiu. When anybody can show that
the Cincinnati riots occurred because
somebody tried to vote according to his
own preferences , this suggestion will bo
in good tasto.
Peen Mr. Bliss protests that ho has

propriation to compensate this self-sacri
ficing patriot. Ho has nobly disregard

100 a day for doing it.
Tur. Chicago election having fastened
the grip of a depraved ring on the city
for another year the good citizsnsaro beginning -
ginning to regret the result. You will
always iiotioa that the good citizen regrets -
grots the rule of the ring after the elec
tion. Before the election , 'when his re
gret might do Bomo good , ho is too buoy
to think about it. In this way it becomes -
comes a question whether the bad men

who misgovern the largo cities are any
more responsible than are the good men

THE gentle Susan B , Anthony has
been interviewed iti Washington. Of
course aha is very cheerful about the
prospects for woman suffrage. Every
thing is going on swimmingly for the
cause she says , and in a few years woman
will have "equality" and "freedom , " The
senate and house committees have decid
ed to print the speeches which she de
livered before thnm and she canuot imagine -
agino a mind able to resist such argu
ments. She had to work hard to got them
printed but she finally succeeded , and
now the greatest part of the work is done.
AT least five offices are about to betaken
taken out of the reach of the politicians
and put whore they will bo filled efficient
ly and cheaply. ' The house of ropro-
oontativcs have agreed to the abolition of
the five Indian inspectors hitherto a part
of the Indian system. Hereafter the in
spection is to bo douo by five officers of
the army , detailed by the secretary of
army. This will save $12,500 to the
country , removes all opportunity for job
bery and makes it sure that the writ will
bo well dono. Why can't some inoro re
forms in this way bo accomplished ?
WIIY should the Union Pacific railroad
company , under an assumed name , got
ior nothing from the city what it would
lave to pay for if purchasing from pri
vate parties ? Is the company a pauper
which the city is bound to take care oft
If it is bound to huvo our otrcota and
alloys why not pay for thorn ? Why has
not the city exacted certain conditions
from the company as to rates , transpor
tation , stations , and taxes ? It certainly
looks very much like a piece of jobbery
for the company to como in at the last
hour of the old council to put through
scheme under suspension of the rules.
CANADA is going through a hard but
wholesome experience in subsidizing rail
roads. Some years ago uho undertook to
build the Canadian Pacific. The mouej
for the construction of 000 miles was ad
vanced , the government taking a mort <
gage upon the road OH security. Sinct
that time there has been a constant draii
upon the revenues of the dominion , in
one way or another , to assist the eompauj
out of its difficulties , A short time ago
87,500,000 were voted from the national
treasury to piv oil the road's ( bating
debt. This money was squandered or
misapplied in aomo manner , and the
necessities of the company are now
greater than ever , A lobby is al worl
to induce the government to glvu anothoi
subsidy of f 5,000,000 , , and to rclinquiil
its first lion upon the road. There ii
little doubt that both do nands will b
grouted. The minUtorj think that hav
ing go in BO for , there is no other wo ;
but to help the road through to the end
It veoms as though Canada might hav
avoided this trouble if uho liad only at
t utivoly studied tbo history of railront

There always have been and thora al
ways will bo castles built in the air dur
ing , the winter which are never con *
struclcd in the summer. A great many
projects have been nirod by real estate
boomers , and the impression has gone
forth that Omaha is to have an Immense
building boom this seAson , which n ill em
ploy thousands of mechanics more than
wo now have in the city. As a matter of
fact the outlook is not eo promising as
some of the real estate men try to make
it appear.
The only extensive enterprise that wo
know of so far is the Union stockyards
and packing houses , which will bo put up
by contract , and will employ quite a largo
number of mechanics , but ior a short
time only. No extensive enlargements
of factories have been projected , and
while there will bo quite a number of
businofts buildings erected , wo know of
no largo blocks that are to bo built. If
wo have the usual healthy building
growth of the last two or throe years wo
ought to bo satisfied , and wo believe wo
shall have such a growth , if nothing oc
curs to prevent the investment of money
in building enterprises. But the
trouble is that just as the building
season goto fairly started , and the pros
pects Are very encouraging , certain agi
tators , who want to Bocuro/'politicivl in
fluence and leadership among the workingmen -
ingmon , give our enterprises a severe
check by ill-advised combinations and ex
travagant demands , which are made after
the building contracts are arranged. Wo
have always boon in favor of good wages ,
and would like to see the workingmen of
Omaha earn as much as the workingmen
in any other city , but when they unite
to create a corner in labor they are
liable to kill the geese that lays
the golden egg. Contractors will not
take the risk of making reasonable bids
on extensive buildings while they are
threatened with strikes , and capitalists
will not enter into contracts which will
make their buildings cost more than they
can bo disposed of for cash. By prevent
ing building enterprises ] the workingmen
stand in their own way , by ) not only los
ing employment but by assisting in keep
ing-up high rontt ) , of which they justly
complain. They are laboring under
the delusion that there will bo enormous
sums of money paid out this year for
buildings and factories. It is true that
there will bo considerable money spent
for public works , such as paving , grading ,
and sewerage , but it is also true that
there are already more laboring men on
our streets to do the work than can bo
employed.
Workingmen should do their own
thinking , and not allow blatherskites and
agitators to deceive them into believing
that they can got any price they may
demand. There is a limit tt all things.
Omaha has suffered from this state of
of nlluii s for two or three ycnrs , and wo
venture to say that at least $1,000COO
worth of buildings would have boon con-
constructed in addition to those erected
uring that period , had not the contract-
rs been threatened with strikes. The
ixtent , of the building boom this year
openda largely upon the cost of labor.
Vny indication on the part of mo-
shanics that they intend to take advan-
ago of the situation , after the season has
.omowhat . advanced , trill make con
tractors very timid about entering into
: ontracts.
TUB talk of annexing Canada is being
ovived in the east as well as in some
arts of the Dominion. The Now York
Sun is giving the movement all the help
t can. It argues that Canada should
iomo into the union for the sake of its
iwn prosperity and wolfuro. Whoii the
Sun can make the loyal and royalty-lov-
ng Canadians believe as it does , anucxa-
ion will very soon follow. But there is
rery little hope of that for many years
to como. The immense majority of Can
adians are intensely British. They are
as fond of the Britidh name as though
tlioy lived in Old England itself. They
are not at all inclined to love the
Yankees , and they would very muih pre
fer independence to union with the
States. So far as this country is con
cerned , there would bo no vnry grout ad-
anUgo in possessing Canada. Only a
comparatively small portion of the terri
tory is fit for habitation. By far
the great part is sterile and
unproductive. The people would bo
unaccustomed to republican ways
and hard to manage. Besides all this ,
the United States ahcady comprise about
as much territory as it is advisable to
have under ono government. To make
it larger would bo to inoroaeo the danger
of disruption. There is ouo thing , how
ever , which wo can unite with Canada in.
We can have a commercial union with
her. There is no reason why wo should
continue to bo at swords' points with her
in business. A treaty of commercial re
ciprocity would bo of greater advantage
to the entire northern border of the
United States dian anything that could
be given to it. Of course , this would not
mean any great alteration of the tarifl
system. But duties could bo so arranged
that some articles which the states want
to export could be sot oil against BMHC
things which they want to import. In
this way both countries would bo greatly
bonufittod.
MRBILL" JO.VKS , the gentleman ] ol
poor abilities as u marksman , who tried
to shoot Quiteau in Washington two
voara ago , is about to bo tried for that
offense. BUI had nearly slipped out ol
the public memory , but his trial will re
vive interest in his fate. Immediately
after his attempt upon the assuiin's life ,

ibdon out ou DM ! over sinoo. Public
1 j sympathy was at ono time very stronj
'npouhtu side , aad had his trial taken
place scYtt after his crime , ho would have
undoubtedly bcou acquitted. Even at
present ho is not likely to bo heavily
punished , although Attorney General
Drowsier expresses the intention of
making him "stand the racket , " AI ho
puts it.
13 A NON-TttinAI INDIAN A CITIZKKt
An interesting case , originating in
Omaha , is to ba argued before the supreme
premo court of the United States in
Washington next Monday , by Messrs.
Popploton and Webster. It involves the
question whether an Indian who has sev
ered hia tribal relations has the right to
vote. John Elk , an Indian who had been
, resident of Omaha for several years ,
, nd has earned his own living during the
into , attempted to register in the spring
f 1880 in order to vote at the city olec-
, ion , but the registrar , Charles Wilkins ,
cf used to register him , and would not re-
civo his ballot ut the election. There
upon suit was brought in behalf of
Elk in order to make a test case. His
itomoys maintain that under the Idth
nil 15th constitutional amendment ho
is a citizen of the United States. They
nrguo that those amendments include
Indians its \vnll as Africans , and will present -
sent to the court several interesting
points , sustained by high legal authorities ,
n favor of the claims of Mr. John Elk ,
It is an important caao , and the result
will bo awaited with considerable inter
est , it will dccido whether a non-
tribal Indian is a citizen and
lias the right of voting and
enjoying other rights and privileges inci
dent to citizenship. It the supreme
court decides in favor of Mr. Elk , the
decision will certainly bo of great assist
ance in solving the Indian problem ac
cording to the ideas of such mon as Oon.
Crook , by whom it is urged that the most
practical way to civilize the Indians is to
break up the tribal relations , make thorn
owners of land in severally each family
iving separate and dependent upon its
own efforts and give them the right to
vote , in other words make them fool that
hey are on an equality with the whites
whenever they adopt the customs and
habits of the whites.
Wuv is it that the Union Pacific at
torneys have to log-roll the bolt-lino ex-
enaion in the back alloys aud dark halls
f the enterprise is an honest and do&orv-
ng ono ?
OTHER LANDS JUAN OVItS.
Latest advices from Egypt are conflict-
ng with regard to Kartoura , and the sit
uation of General Gordon. The reports
that Khartoum has fallen into the hands
of the Msthdi , after a disastrous sortie by
General Gordon , are not confirmed , but
t is certain that his situation is very
irecarious. An expedition for his relief
being organizsd at Suakim , but it
may roach him too late , if it reaches him
.t . all. In any event the main object of
General Gordon's journey to Khartoum
has proved a failure. The reasons for
his failure , are tiro. The first is thrift ho
was sent out to the Soudan without any
definite object. It was to restore peace ,
without either annexing the country
or restoring it to Egyptian rule. At
no point in his mission has ho been able
to nay what ho came for , unless it were
to raako Mr. Gladstone's course in parli
ament easier because loss open to criti
cism. The other reason for his failure is
the complete change of conditions in the
Soudan. A genuine religious fanaticism ,
like that of the Moslems , is as nearly an
incalculable force as can bo. A "war of
zaal , " such as El Mahdi is waging , calls
out all that is bravest and all that is
fiercest in both the Arab and the Berber
character. It differs vastly from the lingo
egotism of the Tao-Ping rebellion in
China , by whoso suppression Gun. Gordon
won his first laurels. It moots the ele
ments which are strongest in his own
character with the resistance of something
equally energetic.
The war in the Soudan appears , so far
as the British are concerned , at an end ,
for the Arabs rcfuio to como any longer
within fighting distance. They have evi
dently had enough ol attacking squares
with spears. This , doubtless , gives the
British their tun miles of coast without
much further molestation , but what ef
fect it will have in opening communica
tion with Khartum by way of Berber
and what it will do by way of rescuing
the remaining Egyptian garrisons remains
to bo soon. The uhancea ore , however ,
that it will lead to some sort of negotia
tion and settlement with the principal
sheikha , if not with Osman Digna. Ae
the British proposal is to Icavo the
Soudan , except a small district around
Khartum , wholly to the Soudanese ,
which U what tlio Soudanese want ,
there is apparently nothing left for any
body but religious fanatics to fight about.
That iho Mahdt is disposed to live in
peace and keep what ho has got , may
fairly bo inferred from his recent quios
oonco. Ho has apparently settled dowr
at El Oboid , and is concerning himsoll
with the troubles further north. As wo
have several times maintained in these
columns , the Mussulman fanaticism ol
our day is enormously overrated. Notlv
ing of the old kind which built up Mo.
hammodauism is anywhere discoverable ,
Turks , Turcomans , Arabs , Persians ,
Egyptians , all talk very fiercely and
threaten dreadful things , ( ill they have
actually had some experience o ! infidei
arms : then it becomes rapidly apparent
that Paradise is not the near andattuina
bio prize which it was iu the early agei
of the faith. Wherever the Ohriatiai
powers have como in contact with th
Mu33olnnn world during the last 151
years the rapid moral decay of Ithrn h
i been increasingly cloar.
The full report of Mr. Gladstone'
i 8p oh on introdu55i S hta po\y rt
form bill shows that it WAS ono of the
finest of his parliamentary discussions.
Long pr.ictico M chancellor ot the ex
chequer has made Mr. Gladstone great in
the exposition of complicated measures
like this ; and in no instance has ho ap
peared to bolter advantage than the
present ono. Americans will turn with
especial intercut to the passage inwhich
hoappcals to the example of the United
Stater , and to the success of our govern
ment in n filiation of extreme difficulty ,
as justifying the extension
of the nuffrago in England :
"In .the main it is the rep-
rcscntativo system which is the strength
of the modern state in general , and of
the state in this country in particular.
Sir , I nmy say as an illustration I believe -
liovo that never has this great truth been
so vividly shown as in the recent war of
the American republic. The convulsion
of that country botwcon 1BG1 and 18C5
was perhaps the most frightful whichever
over assailed a national existence. The
efforts which were made on both sides
were marked. The exertions by which
the secession movement was put down
were not only extraordinary , but they
were what would have boon called by an
ticipation impossible ; and they were only
rendered possible by the fact that they
proceeded from a nation where every ca
pable citizen was enfranchised , and had
a direct and energetic interest in the
unity and well-being of the stato. "
Thc passsngo relating to the claims of
Ireland to the extension of the suffrage ,
s oven exceeding those of England and
cotland , furnished the Irish rcprosonta-
ivcs and the Irish press with an oppor-
; unity of doing justice to the only Eng-
ish statesman who his risked popularity
md power fur the saVe of doing what ho
cgardod as justice to Ireland. Wo are
lorry to Bay that the opportunity was not
imbracod. Wo sympathize with the
rish in their resolve to accept no alien
nlo , however gentle and considerate in
Is administration. But we also must
say that they weaken the confidence of
heir friends in their own future , by their
liability to appreciate Mr. Gladstone's
haractcr.
The growing differences botwcon the
reat Irish leader * , Parnoll aud Davitt ,
TO causing a great deal of anxiety among
ho friends of Ireland. The mam point
if difftironco between Parnoll and Davitt
is in their ideas regarding the manner of
: onducting the coming election campaign.
"net at present Mr. Davitt and Mr. Tim-
thy Harrington , M. P. , ore indulging in
bitter controversy concerning the organ-
zation of the campaign. Mr. Davitt
irges freedom in the selection of the
udidatcs by the constituents , while Mr.
Harrington insists that it is necessary
or thn parliamentary party to have a
roico in their selection. Still further
divergence is disclosed in an article by
Mr. Davittwhichappears in the April num-
Dur of the socialisttnax&zino. Theoditor of
ho magazine describes the article as "a
"pclaration by an acknowledged chain
lion of tha Irish people that the quips-
tonco of the Parnelito party in Parlia
ment will noh prevent the immediate re
opening of agrarian agitation. " Mr.
Davitt proceeds to contend that the land
ict has done nothing to sitisfy the real
novors in the land league agitation. He
declares that he and his followers will
iave nothing to do with any extension
) f the purchase clauses of the act. He
will not consent to the erection of a poas-
nt proprietary obtained by government
.dvanccn . for the purpose o buying out
; ho landlords' interest. Mr ; Davitt's
ilan is to abolish landlordism , root , and
iranch , by having the tenants continue
.ho processes which have already made
; ho landlords' property nearly unsaleable .
One of the moat remarkable projects
'or ' riveting the despotism of imperial
rule over the German people has been
lovised by Bismarck. Ho calls it a pro-
_ oct for & more complete cementing of the
Gorman empire. The chancellor has
reparod a bill , which is to bo submitted
to the reichstag immediately after the
aster recess , and which contemplates the
mtiro recasting of the federal council , or
upper house of the Gorman parliament ,
an thoroughly autocratic lines. That
: ouncil , or bundcsrath , as it is officially
termed , is now composed of sixty-two
members , appointed by the diets or other
representative bodies of the four king
doms , six grand duchies , five duchies and
seven principalities composing , the Ger
man empire. It is consequently a strictly
representative body , because its members
derive their powers fr m deputies elected
directly by the people , while it is purely
federal , inasmuch as they represent their
respective states , and not individual con-
tituencies. The now project of the
ihincollor does not interfere with the
number of the members of the bundns-
rath , nor with the functions of that body ,
hut it aims to revolutionize its character
putting the solo appointing power
practically m the handa of the sovereigns
jf the various states. In its text the
now bill , which , it is understood , is to bo
pressed to passage with all the power of
imperial influence , gives to the respective
sovereigns only the right of nomination ,
and gives the various diets merely con
firmatory powers , but it evident that
any sovereign , in the event of a refusal
by the diet to confirm his nominations ,
can refuse to make others , and thus force
the diet to Confirmation under the penal
ty of leaving the atato unrepresented iu
the chief councils of the empire. While
pressing this and similar measures tha
currently reported withdrawal of Bis
marck from the imperial cabiuot is in-
crrdiblo.
It has boon hastily assumed that the
socialist schemes of Karl Marx uud La-
enllo uro the ultimate reductions of the
doctrines of radical democracy. But it
has bi'on left to the genius of Bismarck
to show practically how repugnunt so
cialism is to the spirit of true democ
racy , and how easily it can bo made to
adapt itself to imperialism. The bill
which the Gorman chancellor has again
brought boforu the ruichatajr , to provide
government accident insurance for work-
iniimen , ii an oxtunoivo scheme of so
cialism. Under the provisions of this
bill the workingmen in all occupations
and pursuits are obliged to contribute a
sluro of their earnings to this insurance
fund. Employers are altu > compelled tc
contribute to the mippoit of the fund ,
and the whnla system is to bo under the
superintendence of the imperial gov
ernment. Tn addition to this measure
for a government accident insurance ioi
workiugmen , Bismarck proposes to es
tablisb similar state iuttitutions for iii <
surar-co in casft of sickness or old afjo.
This is ouo feature of Bismarck's plat :
of socialism. It comprehends the reor
K&nizntlon of private corporations undei
control of the empire , the establishment
ot boards of oonciiution and arbitratlor
in all departments of business , and gov <
eminent absorption of railroads nc
ether moons of transportation. Over al
thin is au extensive system of protection
by which the aim of the government ute
to compensate the manufacturers foi

school propcdcct to rcnch the charitable
ends contcrnphUct by Bisnmrck by ox-

ists is to extinguish , if possible , flocial
distinctions and privOsgct , while that of
Bismarck is to maintain thorn in their ut
most rigorwith the slateas the sovereign
master and director of nil the operations
of sociofy.
By this daring stroke of statesmanship
Bismarck proposes to load the socialistic
forces of the Gorman empire , after find

The chamber of commerce of Rotter
dam has forwarded a petition to the Dutch
government authorities asking thorn to
prevent the consummation of the Congo
treaty botwcon Great Biitain and Portu
gal. The < Petit Journal , of Paris , oays
that numerous protests have been re-
ruived from various parts of Portugal ,
Holland , and oven from the United
States , setting forth the danger and im
propriety of intervention on the part of
Great Britain in the matter of the Congo
treaty , and the French government has <
instructed M. Waddington the French
ambassador in London , to make repre
sentations on the subcct to foreign secre
tary Granvillo.
The latest advices from Mcrv indicate
that considerable disaffection prevails
among a portion of the Turcomans of
the district recently annexed by Russia.
On March 3d a collision occurred be
tween the malcontents and Hussion
troops. The details of the affair are so
far unknown. It affords clear evidence ,
however , of much dissatisfaction on the
part of the natives with the now arrange
ment , and makes it certain that Russia
will bo compelled to maintain a largo garrison
risen in the newly acquired territory
than she had intended.
England has made a treaty with Portu
gal , the terms of which have not yet been
made public , but which is supposed to
grant the laltttr certain rights on the
upper , or nt least on the middle Congo.
Franco has already announced her inten
tion of contesting , this treaty , whatever
it may bo. What rights England has on
any part of the Congo 110 one knows.
The late voyages of Stanley have all been
made in his own interest and that of the
king of Belgium , and'if the rights of dis
covery and conquest woro-now what they
were two or three hundred years ago the
whole busin of the river would be yielded
to him without question. But first
knowledge and the nominal subjugation
of savage tribes no longer pass as title
without question. What of the world's
territory remains undiscovered has be
come too valuable to be parted with ou
such slight grounds. The most that can
bo said of this question ia that Stanley
and his patron have prior rights , but
those are insufficient to permit them to
take full possession of a region larger
than the United States of America and
having unknown possibilities of dovo1op-
mont.
The Italian government-has consented
to except the American college in Rome
from sale along with tho' , red estate belonging -
longing to the College of the Propaganda ,
of which it is a part. This decision is
duo to the interference of our govern
ment iu behalf of American Catholics ,
whose contributions haWj" established
this college for the insl r.u'c/jlBOf / } | | Ameri
can priests. The condemnation of the
propaganda property to. sale by the
Italian government is tho- latest in the
series of acts by which the popes have
boon stripped of the princely tempo
ral patrimony once heldi by the head
of the church a divoraiture which
they have never cnased to denounce aa
robbery , and the undoing of which
they have resolutely insisted on as
necessary to the independence nf the
church. The propaganda , is a special in-
atitution for propagating the faith , aud
has charge of missions. It is the most
comprehensive and elaborately , organized
agency in the church , and the grounds
and buildings belonging to it in Homo
constitute a valuable estate. Under the
Italian law of 1807 , all this property is
to ba sold , and the proceeds invested in
government bonds for the benefit of the
church ; but as it will probably bring but
a fraction of its real value , and the gov
ernment bonds in which the proceeds are
to be invested will bo of uncertain value ,
the Vatican denounces the proceeding as
little bolter than confiscation ; and it is
this menace to the liberty of the pope
that explains the recent rumors of his
design to abandon Rome and seek an
nsylum under a rnoro tolerant govern-
BftMlt.
