It r THE Matthew Arnold hoax proved a regular cyclone in Chicago. It toro the city to pieces , aa it wore. GRANNY TIPTON is publishing in the JTcrald his reminiscences of Daniel Web- tor. Mr. Tipton 17ill next give us his reminiscences of Noah. WE have no controversy with the pu sillanimous person who edits the Omaha Jlcpublioan , Wo deal with the JKrpub- lican as a newspaper representing corpo ration policies and methods , TDK Chicago literary dudes , who have boon duped by the Matthew Arnold hoax into saying moan things about "tho Eng lish monger or raorcor of literary confections tions , " "tho npoatlo from the land of snobbery , " &o , now wish they had never mot Mr. Arnold. SINCE February 21st gold to the amount of $21,350,000 has been shipped to Europe from Now York and there is moro to follow. Pretty soon the able political economists who believe in the old "balance of trade" ghost-story will - , - * * sot'up a dismal howl over this fact. BOSTON will bo slow to believe liovo that the manufactured sensation , "Matthow Arnold's Impressions of Chi' ' cage , " was a hoax gotten up in Chicago. The criticisms of Chicago are too good and too palatable for the Bostoniana who continue to revel in the uwcofc dream that their city is the "Athens of Ameri ca" for them to believe that the nrticlo emanated trom any other source than Matthew Arnold. IT is hardly necessary for us to give moro than a passing notice to the sneers of the corporation organ of those parts about the republicanism of THE BEE on national issues. During four prcaidcntia 9V * campaigns . this paper has boon an ao knowlodgod republican party loader. Its refusal to support corporation - , tion henchmen and notorious jobbers , nominated by packed conventions , was in the interest of true republicanism , as understood by [ its founders. In other words when allegiance to giant corpora' tions was substituted for allegiance to republican principles and republican methods THE DEE rejected it as spurious CHARLES lUTTBir , of Ashburnham Mass. , is ! )0 ) years old , and in 1840 had his lifo insured for $1,000. The proni dent of the company has sent him a chock for the policy on the ground that ho has reached the extreme limit of lifo , accord ing to the table of mortality in which thi company docs business. That's the kind of a companrvto insure in. In most life insurance companies a policy holder hai to die in order to got his money. Un fortunately wo cannot give the name o : this company , as the paper from which wo obtained the information , did nol mention if , probably because it did no wish to give the concern a free advertise mont. Tire rumor that the Burlington had ROBO into the Union PaciGo triparito pee proves to hnvo boon started merely for atock-jobbing purposes. That the dis patch which was sent from Chicago was untrue is shown by the fact that Pros ! dent Perkins , of the Burlington , was a < the time in Boston , and Manager Potto : won out west with Mr. Holdrodgo. On the strength of the dispatch , however , Union Pacific ntock advanced two points , which was the deaircd result of certain stock operators , who no doubt made con siderable money on this deal. When it became known that the Burlington had not entered the alliance , Union Pacific ; stook dropped from 72 to 71J. TUB Sharon case has domoral- irod thcTSon Franolsoo court in which it is being tried. Mrs. Sharon , while on the stand , was subjected to a severe cross- examination , and becoming oxoitod she attempted to draw a pistol to answer n pointed question with a bullet. Her intention um tention waa frustrated , and thereupon McCuno Sharon , her son , started toward Tyler , the cross-examiner , but Tyler's nor threatened to shoot him down if ho at < tempted to draw a revolver. Judge Sul livan immediately ordered a recess , ant at the afternoon e &ion he refused to pro ceed.with the caao unless ho was usauroc that there would be no shooting. Uo re quired a policeman , stationed at the door to examine all persons who entered ho court room , and to furnuh him i i certificate to the effect that no one wo ampi. San Francisco mutt bo a teug ! place , when such precautions are nccw wry. It k not the first time , howevei that shooting in court has been attorapte ia tbt oHy. A NATIONAL ItANKRUl'TGY LAVf. The news that the senate , fitter a delay - lay of three months , is at last preparing to move in the direction ot a national bankruptcy law is encouraging. It was one of the just cause of complaint against the Forty-sovonth congress that it failed to pay nny attention to the popular de mand for this kind of legislation. It maybe bo that the first session of the Forty- eighth congress hns sinned away its day of grace , BO far i\s the actual rmfungo of such a law is concerned. It is still grati fying to know that the united demand of the roiiroaontativo business men of the country Imn some weight with con gress. These men , by the way , do not very often take up the time of congress with their requests. Representing im portant and widespread interests , when they do risk something aa reasonable and just as n national bankruptcy law , they deserve some kind of a hearing. The arguments in favor.of such n law are in every way very strong. To begin at the foundation , the constitution dis tinctly prescribes that there shall bo a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the country , The wisdom of the framers of the constitution in putting in this pro vision has boon very fully tested by ex perience. For five years the country has boon without a national bankruptcy law. The opportunity given for dishonest deb tors to defraud their creditors has boon onormous. Trade has suflcred from con stant uncertainty and dread. Different laws in different states all inadequate have caused an immense amount of per plexity and loss. There has boon no pro tection to the honest , unfortunate debtor , and no sufliciont safeguard to the credi tor. The practical effects of the absence of a universal and competent law is shown in the fact that the total failures which in 1880 amounted to 05,000- 000 increased to 8101,000,000 in 1882 , and have continued to increase over since. During the last quarter , as observed in TIIE BEB a few days ago , they reached an amount which is really alarming. The increase is duo to a great measure to business depression , but there is no doubt that the invitation to fraud and deception which the present lack of system offers is responsible for a considerable portion of it. Even if this were not true , however , the lesson of the increase would remain as strong for a national law. At present almost every failure entails a very largo loss upon some or all of the creditors. The oppor tunity for preferred assignments , and for other conveyances of property , takes * away a great deal of the available assets , and the clumsy way of disposing of the rest through the sheriff wastes a great portion of what is loft. When it is considered that a well devised national bankruptcy law would save the great portion tion of thcso losses , the argument to bo drawn from the figurca of in crease given above ia very plain. The premium which the present condi tion of affairs offers to crime and fraud , is a consideration which is of as much weight as anything that has boon said be fore. At present there is practically no protection against fraudulent statements , The transferring of property in view of an assignment , conspiring with ono cred itor to defraud the rest , and many other devious ways of practice. The extent to which such crimes have figured in fail ures of recent years is enough to open the eyes of any intelligent person to the necessity of n change. Unless a b nlc- ruptcy law shall bo passed , moro atria gout laws against those offenses will bo necessary. The law of 18C7 was crude and inofll dent in many of its workings , although it was immeasurably bettor than no law at all , The law which the sonata" com , raittoo has agreed to recommend , is founded upon careful observation of the defects and merits which ton years o ! practical experience rovcalod in the old law. It has received the endorsement o ; the national board of trade , and of into ] ligont business men generally. If it shall pass there is every reason short o actual experience to think that it ; vil prove in all respects oixtisfactory. OALiroiiNiA is a great atato , and sbo is bound to have a presidential candidate in the field , oven if she has to hunt up now man ever time ono of her proini nently mentioned citizens declines the nomination. Judge Field was talked o by the California democrats as a candi date for the prcsidenoy , but ho declined to enter the race. Next Senator Millo : was talked of by the republicans , and ho declined. Now the democrats come up trailing ngain and present the name of QenoralDonvor. Simultaneous with the at ; nounootnont that ho is to bo pushed fo the democratic presidential nomination there appears in San Francisco a pain phlot which speaks of his "lifo , his ser vices and his availability. " The demo croata coat of the Kooky mountains woul like to receive a copy of that p mphlo in order to acquaint themselves wit ! General Denver's history , and to learn who ho ia. Ho may bo no stranger to old Cftlifornians , as ho has represented that - state incongroaa years ago , and has served as nUto senator mid secretary of state 1 but to the people of the east ho is a stranger , aud it is pretty late in the day to introduce him. He is considerable of - a dark hone. PAIISON LVCAH , who recently dragged himself away from Omaha to join the in numerable caravan of half-fed journalists 1 at Dos Moines , is not heartily received back into his own state. Sumo of the a papers are recalling the scene in a Des ) Moiuos street car last summer , when the pnreon Boomed to stand on the desperate - verge of annihilating Ueu. Weaver. The . inference seems to bo that the reverend I gentleman's pugilistic tendencies have { made him dUlikcd. It is only fair tc sny , hovrovor , that while ho was a resi dent of this city , in spite of many oppor tunities to engage with ' 'soft gloves" and otherwise , ho was as mild and peaceful a gentleman as you would moot on n sum mer dny. SENATOH PAYNB ia a aly old coon. IIo is non-committal on the mibjoct of his candidacy for the presidency. When ever anybody approaches him , Senator Payne takes it for granted that ho is about to bo questioned as to his inten tions , and without waiting to hoar what his interrogator hns to say , ho interrupts him and gives him to undcratand that ho will not talk on the subject of the presi dential nomination. A reporter at tempted to interview him the other day , "I have noticed , " said the reporter , "that there is a dcslro abroad in the land to learn whether or not you" "No , no , " interrupted Mr. Payne , with an engaging smile , as ho took up a few inches of slack in the silk cord which confined the ample folds of his gray dressing gown , nnd cordially opening the door to permit his visitor to depart , "I can not talk on that subject. " As no subject had boon suggested the reporter imagined that Mr. Paynehad not rightly guessed the object of his errand , and began again : "I should bo pleased to know whether you are a candidate for the presidency ? " waa the modest request. Still smiling and opening the door , Mr. Pay no replied somewhat irrelevantly : "If men will chase the shadow for the substance , I can not help it. " "Having the shadow nnd substance both at hand , " suggested the reporter , "I would bo ex tremely glad if you would give mo an answer. " "I will not bo interviewed on the subject , " returned Mr. Payne. JOHN P. IHIHH , formerly the combined headlight , fugleman and fiery and unti- amendment warrior of the Iowa de mocracy , ia not mooting with very gorge ous BUCCOSS in California. The people there do not seem to appreciate him. The Oakland Wdctle says that they will not send him to congress nor to the sen ate , and that oven his paper , the limes , is not successful. Ho went to the Pacific coast with the idea of accomplishing a political revolution which should land him in some oflico. In this hope ho has been disappointed. "Mr. Irish is effectu ally stranded upon a strange and un friendly shoro. " The democrats of Ne braska , who have often listened to the inspiring notes of this gentleman's polit ical bazoo with unfeigned delight , will learn of the failure of their favorite with deep but unavailing priof. THE appointive system , under which Now York city affairs are managed , has developed a singular difficulty in the case of Police Superintendent Walling. Ho ia old , infirm and of failing mind. Yet , under the law , ho cannot bo re moved without a formal complaint , and his oflico will otherwise only como to an end with his death. No ono is willing to file a formal complaint against the old veteran , and yoc the affairs of the police department are being sadly managed T > y reason of his impotenoy. It is proposed to pass a special bill through the legisla ture retiring him upon a pension. There is evidently a defect in the law which does not provide for such an emergency. SUCH trifling and unimportant matters ns the bill to revive American ship build ing and the bill to regulate inter-state commerce were laid aside in the house of representatives in order that such weighty matters as appropriations for now buildings might bo discussed , The burning question of the hour is "shall Podunk have a now postoflico 1" And in the presence of such a momentous issue the regulation of inter-state com1 morco must bo indefinitely postponed. CAUTKK HAIUUSON , the loud mouthed and oD'ensivo blatherskite of Chicago , wants to bo the democratic candidate for governor of Illinois. Strange to say the wishes of the respectable people of the state and of Carter for once coincide , though for different reasons. The latter want him to bo n candidate BO that they can act down on him hard enough to drive him out of sight. SuEitnw HAWKINS , who caused a great doal'of the bloodshed in the Cincinnati riots , has resigned. That is , ho nas re aignod the colonelcy of the militia regiment mont which figured in the disturbance. Ho still clings fondly to the oflico with the salary. You can. altraya bo auro thai the man without brains enough to ad minister an ollicn will faaton himself to it until ho is kicked out of it. TUE wife of a prominent minister ol Davenport has boon detected in stealing numerous articles of wearing apparel unc household goods from the houses of her friends. A usual she was pronounced a kleptomaniac , and nothing was done in the matter. Had she boon a poor wo man , without friends or influence , sh would have boon called a thief and son to jail.

The feast of the passover , probably the deal holy day in the world , was cilo- rated Wednesday by the Jowith populnj on of Omaha. The fcaat is purely n re- gious ono , and dates iUolf back to theme mo of the enforced sojourn of the Ho- rows in the land of Egyptandcommcm- rates the deliverance of the Jews from icir bondage. Speaking of this feast ho San' Francisco Jewish Times of a re- ont data hns this to cay : Wednesday evening , April 0 , at sunj own , wo begin the celebration of a feast wt had its origin 3,370 ywira ago. Vithout any additional reason , this im- ncnso vists of years would ixlono suffice o onahritio n holiday , so venerable with 30 , in the affections of our people. 'liink of it 3,379 years ago. How shal- ow does all lofty rhetoric about Paso- ver appear boaido the simple fact that ; is coeval with the building of the Egyptian pyramids. What strange and vondorful changes in the destines of our ace nnd of mankind has not this feast Iready witnessed ? Wo might all agree 7ith Emerson when ho saya that "great ationa are no boasters ; " and wo might lioroforo refrain from reciting the mo- icntoua consequences to mankind arising rein that memorable dopirturo out of ] gypt. But wo proclaim it in a spirit of ratitudo , that God's providence has wonderfully dealt with this people. Thou- ands of years ago ho rescued an insig- ilficant Semite tribe from the yoke of > ondage , and , notwithstanding Bis hand IBS often laid heavily upon them , Ho has gain brought them to honor , and granted horn peace and comfort. Where is there a people that God has dwelt with as ho iaa with us ? Where among all the no- ions of the glebe ia there ono that has olobratod a feast , in an unbroken suc- fssion of ages , during 3,370 years. Giv mt the question of antiquity its duo weight , and consider that this Paaaovor is .ho oldoat feast wo celebrate , and it can- neb bo looked upon but -with a truly Dions and reverential nwo. When u the year 1405 , before our common ra , it was celebrated for the first time by ho Israelites on the eve of their dopar- ure from Egypt , whore wore then the iroud and powerful kingdoms of to-day ? r , where are to-day thoao grand and mighty monarchies of Egypt , Chaldea , or Assyria , that witnessed the rieo nnd growth of the people of Israel ? Suppos- ng a prophet or seer should have said to Pharoah , that in three or four thousand pears Egypt , with its motchleaa fertility > f soil , would bo hopeleaaly bankrupt and ts government dependent upon the good vill and funds of descendants of the en- laved rnco of Israel , what would ho have answered ? Well , wo are not enough of a Boor to say what his exact/ words would have been , but wo latter ourselves to possess enough acuteness to know that ho would not iavo believed it. There is no law of na- ure that will satisfactorily explain the implo fact that , despite their unauccoas- ul wars with nearly all ancient nations , lespito their unparalleled Bufferings among modern nations , despite the latred , scorn and' oppression which they reapfid from nearly every people on the ace of the earth , they are able to cele- > rate a feast with the aame rites and cere monies that their forefathers did 3,370 years ago. If the hand of God ia not manifest to Jew and Gentile in this mira- mlous protection of Israel.thon wo should ndced give up all speculation on the ways if Providence. Army BiiKliiCBH.
