How long will City Marshal Guthrie allow it to continue ? OMAHA would bo a splendid place for the now soldiers' homo , which congress has directed to bo built oihor In Ar kansas , Colorado , Kansas , Iowa , Minnesota seta , Missouri , or'Nebraska. THE Republican is actually boiling over because a government official trav eled to Nebraska City ou a railroad pass the other day. This is amusing , in view of the fact that the railroad pass is the only thing that has given the Republi can crowd any influence. AccoBniNQ to the Republican there wore Blaine men , Logan men , Edmunds men , and Arthur conspirators at the Nebraska City cungrcsjional convention. Will our disgruntled contemporary explain - plain itself J Were these who favored the nomination of Arthur , conspirators because - cause they opposed the candidate from Douglas county , backed by the railroad elements and elected by John Sahlor's ballot-box rascality ) EDINDOKO university , at its tercen tenary celebration , conferred 120 hon orary degrees. Several Americans were thus honored , among the number being Jaraoa Russell Lowell , who was made an LL. D. , and Prof. Green , of Princeton , who was made a D. D. Mayor Chase , of Omaha , was for seine unaccountable reason , loft out in the cold , probably because cause ho already had acquired the degree of LL. D. from the Nebraska State University. IT is announced that the Washington monument is at lest ncariug completion and will bo finished before the mooting of the next congress. It ia therefore urged that oomo measures should betaken taken by 11 the statea to commemorate in a fitting manner the end of the work. An undertaking that has been carried once co loog and against BO many obstacles is certainly worthy of an extensivecelebra tion. There was a time when men thought the world would forget what the monument woo built for before it would bo completed. A STKOKO effort wasmado at Washington Thursday to got tbo McDonald boom upon its foot. The result was not parti cularly gratifying to the boomers. Mr. McDonald can never bo nominated for president. Ho has been absurd and unfashionable enough to admit that ho is a candidate. The right way to d < * is to declare that nothing could induce you to bo president and then stir up your cap pers all ever the country. You will ob- oorvo that this io the way your undo Tildon does. Your uncle Tildon knows what ho is about. UNDEII the now building ordinance no building can bo erected within the city iimita without first submitting the plans , location , &o. , to the chief of the fire de partment , chairman of the board of public works , and the city engineer , who constitute the building board. Persons who put up buildings without complying irith the ordinance nro liable to a fine. The chief of the fire department , who is $ ho executive oQloer of the board , has to jkeopn record of all buildings , and in this way wo shall know at.tho end of thoyear how many buildings have boon put up , the cost , and other interesting and im portant .statistics. TUB bill for the appointment of a sop ar&fo < 5ommiaalon for the Missouri river having received the endorsement of the liouso committee on commerce , there ia eomo prospect of the measure becoming a law. It is unnecessary to say that it will bo a great advents go for the resi I ff dents of the Missouri valley. If the commission honestly performs its la bom , a considerable portion of thi money now wasted , on levees for thi Lower Mississippi will bo put where i can do some good on the Missouri. Th fate of the bill in the present session depends ponds upon the amount of time which the bouse expends on the tariff bill. IOWA , prohlbitior ists arc determined not to lie caught capping again. They we to" prepare a test uit for the now law in prohibition county , between pro- hibitionUta , with prohibition counsel and before a prohibition judgo. In this way they think they can make a verdict for the validity of the law certain. Perhaps ttut jif Ud legal light , J. Ellen Foster , ' uoerintendent of legislation , " whoso MOM of justice wai o deeply outraged by tke vwdict in the amendment test OM , wijll take a band in this. As oho U twpMtvd of having drawn up the crozy lav that it to b tested , § h * o W be in p * io * to drf d it , DOUOLAS COUNTY'S CANDIDATE , Douglns County's candidate for dele gate , Mr. W. J. firontch , came so near success that the failure is extremely ex asperating. Jlcpubiican. In what way did Mr. Broatch bccomo Douglas county's candidate ) Ho was de feated in four out of the six wards , and a majority of the country precincts were against him. Ho did not carry the ward ho lives in , and would not have had a corporal's guard in the county or district convention without Thurston'a backing. How did ho carry the convention ? Ho stele ono vote in the First ward by forcing Josiah Kent , through the influ ence of Mayor Chase , to give up his proxy to Hoffman , ono of Postmaster Coutant's loiter carriers. Martin I tin or , who was against Broatch , was induced under falsu pretenses to give his proxy to John Shil ) , a postal clerk , and that vote was cast for the Broatch delegation. Another anti-Broatch delegate from the Sixth ward was bought outright while the committee on credentials was out. Several country delegates .who came in opposed to Broatch were jxlso converted by greenback arguments. To cap the climax of infamy , Mr. Broatch. secured the admission of the fraudulent Third ward delegates , without whom , even with nil the proxies and bribed mon ho could not have carried the convention. Pat. O. Hawcs , his chief engineer , boasted at Nebraska City that ho saved Broatch by the Third ward fraud. According to his own ad- misaion , after ho was sure that the Brontchtickotwas overwhelmingly beaten , ho worked his way into the room occu pied by the judges , and advised John Sahlor to stuff or smanh the ballot box and destroy the ballots. Sahlor could not stuff the ballot box because his as sociate judge had his eye on him all the timo. So ho scattered and destroyed the ballots. Sahlor , Hawos Mid Bonnet voted the Third ward for Broatch in the convention , and by these fraudulent votes carried it by a small majority Talk about oflico-holdors interference ! Talk about decency and honor , after such shameful'and systematic perversion of the popular will ! If Broatch had been a de cent and honorable man , if ho had had any self-respect , would ho have connived at such infamy for the sake of carrying a delegation to Nebraska City ? Would ho have made himself the asso ciate and boon companion of Frank Walters , Pat 0. Hawcs , Walter Bonnet and John Sahlor ? Douglas county repu diated Broatch at homo , and if ho was put up for an office to-day ho would bo snowed under a mountain of votes on a fair ballot and honest count. Tho'lcss the Broatch gang of scalawags , with whom ho has boon training of late , say about his exasperating failure to mis represent Douglas county the bettor it will bo for his reputation. No FKAJIK buildings can bo erected within the fire limits , and the result is that the fire limit ordinance has done much towards filling up the business portion tion of Omaha with substantial briok buildings. The fire limits should be ex tended from time to time , not only for protection of property but for the general improvement of the city. Wo belivo the time has arrived for a wide extension of the fire limits , and that it ought to bo done immediately. Wo want raoro brick business buildings , and the extension of the fire limit ordinance will cause them to bo created instead of frame structures. In the construction of dwelling houses our people are too apt to use wood , as they have an idea that it is cheaper than brick. In this they are mistaken. Wooden houses are constantly in need of repairs , and soon wear out , and the in ? suranco on thorn is high. As a rule they are not as comfortable and as weather proof as brick. The difference in cost is very slight , if there is any. Brick makes a substantial , durable , comfortable house , and at once presonta the appearance of cleanliness , permanency and solidity. Lumber has to bo imported hero , and is sold at high figures. Brick is a homo product , and shpuld , by all means , bo given the preference , particularly when it is about as cheap to build with briok as it is with lumber. Every dollar invested in brick adds more to the general welfare and pro sperity of , the city than money put into frame buildings. The man ufacture of brick is an important homo industry and should bo encouraged la every possible way. The way to do it Is to stop building frame houses. OENKIUL DENVEU , of Ohio , who is ono of the latest aspiiants for the dom ocratio presidential nomination , is mlvor Using his boom in the usual way , with n wood cut aud a biographical Hkotch General Denver has u "record. " In 1852 while living in California , ho fought i duel with rifles at short range with Ed ward Gilbert , editor of the Alia Call- fornln , whom ho killed. Six months experience with a two con letter rate has satisfied the postofllco ofli clals that in a very short time the do partinont will again beoomo self sustain lug. Tbo enormous increase ir. the num ber of letters carried which the reduce rate has brought about has all bu brought the receipts up to the figures the throe-cent rate. The sales of postal cards have largely fallen off , but it is ex peotodthat they will return to their former or amounts shortly , with the growth f business and population. The quostio : as to what direction the next cheaponln S of rates shall take is already gaining th attention of the olliclals. It is debated whether the limit of the weight that can bo sent for two couta should bo ex tended , or whether the postage on news papers should ba reduced. The public Ed I- i vantages from the former are so small ] , I however , compared with the benefits to bo derived from u smaller tax on the gen * [ oral intelligence disseminated bynons- papers that it is not likely to bo recom mended.oryfow letters now exceed the limit of one-half ounce to the two * cent rate. Few persons would therefore bo bonoGttod by enlarging the limit. On the other hand , almost every family in the country is directly interested in cheaper newspaper postage. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The downfall of the Gladstone minis try , which was so confidently predicted as inevitable a few weeks ago by the tory loaders , is no longer regarded ns among the probabilities. The Gladstone min istry is now more formidably entrenched in its position than it 1ms been since the retirement of Beaconsfiold. The decis ive majority on the second rending of the franchise bill has thrown the lories into a state of stupefaction and intensifies the success of the government by their dis organization. The mutiny against Sir Stafford Northcoto's leadership has reached a crisis and a successor will Eoon bo named. The astonishingly largo majority which the franchise-extension bill received in the British house of commons Monday may dolor the house of lords from reject ing that measure. The vote stood 390 to 210. Some tories must have voted with the government , in addition to the Par- nolitos. Mr. Gladstono'a eloquence had no doubt much to do with the govern ment's victory , nnd Mr. Goschon's oppo sition also helped them. There is no politician in England , except perhaps Sir William Ilarcourt , more disliked than Goschon. Ho is selfish , unscrupulous and treacherous. Ho calculated on Lord John Manners' motion prevailing. In that event there would have boon a dis solution , and Goschon might have n chance to become a member of a coalition cabinet in a now parliament. The foreign policy of Gladstone has not given popular satisfaction. This is especially true with regard to Egypt ! affairs. England will not assume the government of Egypt , neither will she permit the Egyptians to govern it in their own way. She cannot got on with out the Egyptian officials , and she can not got on with them. Her representa tives , having somnwhat indefinite func tions and a very vaguely limited author ity , can scarcely bo supposed to have pleasant , even if they have profitable , places ; aud it can readily bo believed that , looking forward to the day when there will bo no end of fault-finding with them , they do not intend that they sha bo charged with not having made a resolute lute effort to bully everybody and to make England practically sovereign in the country. At the same time that her case ia thus cared for by subordinate ofli cials England ostentatiously puts aside the proposition that she shall assume the responsibility of a sovereign. A cnanqo of ministry has boon ordered aa a last report. Mr. Gladstone will have no end of trouble in trying to dove tail together an Egyptian administration out of two effete aristocracies ono Oriental and ono cockney , ono Moham medan and ono Christian. Gordon's command is clearly in a bad way , which is only what was to bo ex pected first , from the nature of it , and second , from the peculiarities of its post tionOn the 10th of March there came a report by way of Cairo that General Gordon had made a sortie from Khar toum with 3,000 Egyptian troops and been defeated with a lost of 200 killed and thrco guns. On the 30th of the eamo month there was "a rumor" at Cairo that Gordon had surrendered Khartoum and was himself n prisoner to the Mahdi. There was nothing incon sistent with recent Soudanese history in this report , for if the Mahdi could exter minate an Egyptian army , well armed and equipped , of 7,000 under General Hicks in the opou ground near El Oboid , it might bo quite ns easy to route 3,000 of the samp kin J of troopsundor Gordon. The Egyptian soldiers all through this war have proved the meanest of cowards and shown no heart against the barbarian Moslems. The length of time that has elapsed since Gordon has boon personally hoard from either at Berber or Sunldm , the fact that all communications bo- twcon Berber and Khartoum have been severed for days , and that Berber itself is in danger of a siege , all imply either that Gordon is dead or closely shut up in Khartoum ; most probably the latter. The report comes that the causa of a free and Independent Ireland is to bo re vived under the leadership of the ox- hcad-sontur of foninnisin , Mr. Jamoi Stephens. ] ] Experience teaches that the splits among Irish natriota do not tarn out well , so far as Irish autonomy is con cerned , The division which took place when O'CounoU dncliued to bo respon sible for extreme measures preceded the collapse of the agitation which ended with the dissipation of the forces o "Young Ireland. " If the now move ment amounts to anything there will bt furnished something of a parallel case. Mr 111 r neil insists upon working through parliamentary methods , as O'Cunnull did , though it is by no moans sure that ho would yield to parliament ns O'Conuel did , en uld ho roa'h a similarly critica point. Juat what Stephens propones to do Is not clearly defined Ho iaauro , however , that the Irish have no further use ior Painoll and his parliamentary party. Hi also mildly disapproves of the dynamitora , Ho seems to nim at something like a compromise between the two. Tlu Ingi- cal inference is , if the reasoning is pushed any distance , that ho moans \tar. If iu- dependence is not to bo effected by peaceable moans , there is no other way to bring it about except by fighting , And this brings into direct _ prominence the question as to whether it would be wiio to proceed lo that length. Thi cluuicos of a successful issue to a wn with Great Britain about are as dim as they could bo'and the probabilities arc that the Irish people , at present ut au ; rate , cannot bo induced to inaketli coitiy and hopeless experiment. But there is ono thing which Mr. Stu phons probably can do. That is to form Ian organization with all the requitlu { machinery for collecting contributions 'Tho field for the operations of an institu | tion of that character iu the United 5 8talcs is probably far from exhausted. B-JA certain class of Iriahmou have to bo professionals in thin kind of busin ess , and n now organization is needed to nivo it the npur of novelty. The dynnm- Ho policy has lost much of the money- Hotting power it once possessed , while the rarnoll policy is not sufficiently bellicose , or dishonest , to keep the purse strings lonsonod. A medium policy , therefore , stands some chance of boinq successful for a while. The true friend of the Irish people in this country is ho who will in sist upon n definite statement as to how the money collected _ ls to free Ireland , before he will keep silent on seeing the hard-earned wagra cf laboring men and orvant Rids going into any fund iu Mcgcd behalf of Irish independence. The bourgooiso of Franco has been irown into a state of fierce alarm by ho acceptance by the chamber of depu tes of the principle of the now army iill. Under the present nystem younq iwyors , doctors and other persons are bio to avoid the five years' term by vol- ntooring for ono year , but the now law /roposcs that nothing short of physical ncapacity shall exempt anybody from hroo years' service. The bill would aiso the poico footing of the army from 80,000 to 700,000 mon , and the annual est from 24,000,000 to 30,000,000 'caco with such an army would bo as ixponsivo as war. At present the con- cription draws so largo n number from ndustry an agriculture that labor lias to 10 extensively imported from Germany , taly and Belgium. Probably the bi'l ' 111 bo withdrawn. Ferry is congrntu itod on all sides on the skill ho contin- es to exhibit in managing the two ambers. The senate has got rid of an ibjectionablo bill which ho was obliged o support in the house of deputies for. making the Paris municipality u rival to ho nalional govurnmont. The Chinese ampaign is satisfactory , and the social question is carefully shelved by the com mission of inquiry. Latest advices from Shanghai indicate ! iat the Chinese government is greatly ixcrcisod at the recent French successes n Tonquin. Persons in any way rcapon- iblo for the reverses are being degraded nd punished , and active measures are ieing taken to prevent further loss of ircstigo. The viceroy of Canton has > een publicly degraded by refusing to iboy order * . The officers answerable for the loss f Bacninh have been condemn d to bo ohoadod. The governor of Yunnan has boon ummonod to Pokin to receive punish ment. A general levy of men for the Chinese rmy has bocn ordered. Affairs at Pe- : in nro represented to bo in an oxtromo- y critical condition , and administra- ivotshangos of great importance are im minent. Telegrams from Shanghai and Hong long make no mention of the seizure of .moy. The report that the French fleet las occupied Amoy ia discredited at jondon and Paris. The French govern ment is undecided in regard to the unount of indemnity to claim from China. Itoports from Shanghai say that 'n the now administration the peace tarty forms a strong element- , and no do- islvo stop toward war will bo taken un- 11 it is known what terms Patcnotro is mpowerod to oflor. It is expected that 'atonotro will reach Pokin about the md of June. The reply of the Peruvian minister of broign affairs to the protest of England igaiust the clause in the treaty between "Jeru and Chile ceding certain nitrate and uano beds to the latter power , is con- lusivo against any nation that does not ; onfound the power to do with the right o dp. The so-called Peruvian debt , the minister says , is not in any sense a na- ' ionol debt , but a debt duo by private tizons. These debts have never assum- id an international character , and the 'act that they are now mostly in English lands Is'purely accidental , and may bo f temporary duration , as the bonds may 10 transferred to persons of any other na- ionalily. Peru owes nothing to Eng- and as a government of state and cnnnot ery well bo hold responsible for the debts f certain of its citizens. The Peruvian case is much like that of Turkey , with the dif- "oroncu that the Turkish government wes English subjects. According to the 'eruviau minister's statement , neither .ho Peruvian nor the British go vornmenta ire interested in the Peruvian debt. It a simply a matter between private par lea , ono of Peruvian and the other of iritish nationality. The nitrate and ; uanoboda _ were the basis of credit , but 'eruvian private parties could not pro- ido against their loss. The loss was the csult of war. The victorious Chilians umandod the nitrate und guano ocds as idomnity for the war expenses. The rinciple ia the same as that in which Germany demanded $1,000,000,000 of r.mco us the price of leaving that na- on with HH nationality intact. It ia not ilcar how the British can interfere with- ut a bold exercise of the right to do liat which it hna the power to do. The extraordinary squall which has ust passed ever Mexican afiairo , seems to ave abated. It seems that President onzaloa imposed a severe stamp duty in sale , in view probably of a deficit in ho revenue and in pursuance of dicta- urial authority placed in his hands two rears ago. The merchants denounced ho stamp tax an intolerable , and -were ingored nlso by the discovery that the 'avorites of the administration hu'l laid n a stock of alamos at half price at east this was the wild ruinor of the day. They closed shops , turned their em ployes into the street , countermanded irders for goods , and in short precipi- atod what promised to be u commercia ! : rieu. The troops were placed under firms and matters looked very serious on Monday. Minister Morgan has been ac tive in trying to arrange n compromise between the president and the mercantile ntereataof the republic. Gonzaloa de clined a proposition to iesuo a kind ol hig.li Hcenso to trade of $100 , which would net the treasury $5,000,000. The government had succeeded in arranging a compromise which removes all cauao "or nuxiety. Mexico has made progress from the era of revolutionary prouuncinmento ! and sanguinary civil wars to the era ol industrial aud economic questions. The government has doubled its revenue within a few years , having now au in oomo of $30,000 000 a year. If it nan survive , without a revolution , the period of strain necessarily intervening between he largo outlay for railroad subsidy and -ho consequent development of the country , the future of the country wil rapidly brighten. The tlidicutieB growing out of the facil itioj afforded by the Swiss federal author itips to the German officials for the pur suit of socialistic refugees , and the pop uUr opposition to the same , are daily in creasing. The canton authorities of Basel sol , Switzerland , have sent to the Swis Federal Country an indignant protoa against the trvspua of officers of th German policu.who cross the Swiss front ier iu putauit of alleged anarchists t in flfiiil that in several cases uspectcd person * have been kidnapped n Swias soil nnd taken to Germany without extradition proceedings , ami vcn without warrants having any legal AUO in Switzerland. As Basel is on the Jftdon frontier , that canton has naturally > ccn the greatest sufferer from these in- ursions , but it is said that similar out ages have occurred in the other northern nntons , and it is probable that a rnmon- ranco will bo addressed to Germany pen the subject. In view of the several failures of the libustors to conquer nnd hold Cuba , wo oad of the last rash venture of the kind made only recently with surprise. A rioro handful of mon on board a sloop , ith an insufficient supply of arms , had 10 temerity to fit out an expedition , which nctu-Oly effected n lauding on Cu- an BUI ! . They thus undertook , with bout a score of mon , to do what a well- ppointod army failed to accomplish sov ral years ago. The boldness of the act s surpassed only by Us folly.

A few evenings since n pedestrian mot couple of citizens , ono of whom was tnggoring drunk and was being assisted long by the other. ' 'Taking him homo ) " queried the first. "Not exactly ! " chuckled the other. "Then what nro you doing with him ? " Before replying to the question the man moved his drunkard up to the fence nd braced him up. Thou ho softly ox ilainod : "I live just around the corner. I'm in ho habit of going homo drunk about hroo times n week , and the old woman s always waiting and ready for mo. " 'Well ? " "Well , I'm going to send this fellow along pa t the houso. The minulo the ) ld woman hears his step she'll bounce jut with a broomstick and make the plintors fly , nnd it will bo worth $100 when she discovers she has boon larrup- ng the wrong man. " "Ho may get hurt. " "I reckon ho may , but I've paid him 50 cents advance. Come along and see ho greatest show on earth. " The inebriate was straightened up and od to the corner , and hia companion said , o him : "Now partner , keep in the middle o ! ho walk and wait for mo on the noxl rner. " "Shortingly shertingly I'll waiz f'r ou n'z on corner , and we'll have nozzer Irink togezzer. " Ho started off with a lurch and a roll md had scarcely reached the middle oi he block when a door opened , a woman loundod out like a cat and the exhibition opened. She had a whip and she didn't top to ask any questions. The drunk ard uttered a whoop as"the first blow hit lim , and in his hurry to got out of the way ho fell into the slush and lay there. When the woman had given him about hirty cuts and stopped to rest her arm , ho two mon advanced , and her husband called out : "Mary , darling , what yez up to ? " "Is that you , Henry ? " "It is. " "And you ain't drunk ? " "Not a bit. " "And I've basted the wrong man ? " "You havo. " She threw away her whip and sat lown on the curbstone and gave way to ears. Presently the husband came clos- r and said : "Mary , it was a joke , but I am sorry or it. What is the difference to you whether I am drunk or sober , so long as 'ou have your fun ? Here , darling , take he whip nnd lay it on till you can't rest. " She sprang up and brushed away her .ears , and when the pedestrian skipped ut , the drunkard was trying to crawl hrough n'picket fence and the husband teed in the middle of the street calling > ut in courageous tones : "That's it Mary that's bringing the dust out , till I can't see the corner lamp iost.

Vjuhlugton Correspondence Philadelphia Ilccord Senator Philetus Sawyer , the lumberman - man who helps to represent Wisconsin in the United States senate , is worth just about $ ut9Ga,000. This is the climax of a story that rolly-polly senator told the other Jday. "I had gathered together 52,200 , " ho aaid , "at my homo in Now York , when I was 30 years old , by the hardest sort of hard work. The tendency of young mon in 1847 , when I reckonec up my capital and found that I had , as ] have said , a little more than $2,000 , was westward. 1 Fgured pretty closely on ; ho expenses of my long journey to the northwest , and came to the conclusion ; hnt $100 would just carry mo through. So I put SSjlOO in a belt which I wrap icd around my body nnd put the remain ng SiOO' in my pocket. Counting the money in my pocket over again just be- 'ore 1 started , I found , however , that ] hod but $00'outside ' my belt. I did nol want to take off my belt again , so I turned to my brother , then m bettor circum stances than myaolf , and asked him to lean ma SI to make up my traveling und. This he did very willingly. Out tu Wisconsin I prospered from the first , and after a while became rich. Not lonj igo 1 mot my. brother in No w York. H has not succedod as well as I , and justa1 _ that time ho- was very anxious to raise $1,2 0 in order to meet some prcstinr. obligation. He spoke to mo about it am I gave him the money. Later I sent him another check for $000. 3hat pazzloc him. 'Don't you remember , ' I taid , 'a loan you made me just b of ore I left fo the west in 1857 ? ' 'No , 'he said , 4 don't , 'Well , ' I replied , 'you made mo a loan of $1 , which was just what I needed. Now every dollar of my original capital has brought mo in 81,800. I simply return you what you loaned me , with its in crease. ' 'I with I had loaned you a fuw raoro dollars , ' said my brother. IIorsforil'H Aulil I'hosjilmto , Be ware of Imitations.
