LOOAN has chartered a npccial car for Chicago. So has Church IIowo. JOHN SAIII.EU is looking very lone Bomo , since Pat. 0. llawos and Walter Bonnet hnvo loft the country. Now that Conkling , Cameron and Grant nro said to bo for Bliuno vro should naturally prefer Arthur or aoino other man. The bill creating n bureau of labor as passed by the sonata is nothing inoro than nn appropriation setting apart $125,000 to enable the aocrohryof the interior to col lect labor statistics. The re-nomination of Congressman Anderson , of Kansas , is n deserved re cognition of his able and honest services , Bo is ono of the very few republican con gressmen who uro not cappers for corpo rate monopolies. Now THAT Mr. Camoronhas boon good enough to return from Europe , perhaps bye and bye , ho will also condescend to rcsumo his place in the sonata nnd make ft feint of performing the duties ho was elected to discharge. Tin : conviction of llanlny puts an end to prizo-fighlinc ? In Nebraska. Now if the grand jury of Douglas county will do Its duty and indict the roughs -who engaged in the shooting affray , this will no longer , bo a paradise for ouch out laws. SENATOR SHP.IIMAN modestly says that ho does not expect the nomination at Chicago cage , but is prepared for it if it does come. It is also to bo hoped that the senator is "prepared' for the millonium for ono is just about as likely to coino as the other. THE proceedings through which" Young Bill" English obtained the scat in the house which belonged to Poollo wore the most disgraceful that congress has soon for many a day. Charges of wholesale bribery are preferred against both Eng lish and his father old Bill , and there is no doubt that 101110 of them have just foundation. THIS whirligig of tinio brings round Its revenges. Major Babcook , who has boon nominated for promotion to bo lieutenant colonel in the engineer corps , now finds the skeleton of the old whisky ring star ing him in the face. As the charges have not boon revived by enemies as a matter if revenge , ho will probably sue coed in the end in overcoming the flpponition. THKUK will bo a rise in real catato in Bismarck now , The supreme court of Dakota has forever settled the capital question by deciding that the act of the commissioners in locating the capital at Bismarck was valid. Yanktonof course , will bo correspondingly depressed. Now if the citizens of Yankton Trill go ahead and omutoto the example of Omahawhen flho lost the capital of Nebraska , nho may yet ba a larger town than Bismarck. Bon. Butler believes that it is the early bird that catches the worm. IIo was the iirst presidential candidate in the Hold , and will bo the first whoso history is to bo given to the world in a glowing cam paign edition. The lynx-eyed statesman has ongacod Dr , George L. Austin , author of the "Lifo of Wendell Phillips , " as his campaign biographer. According to the Jioalon Glebe ho will glvo the schollary estimate of the general's character and services that has long boon needed to im partially and fully measure thorn. HuiiAT. HAISTKD , who io a pronounced Blaine man , delivers a stinging rebuke to Wayne LlacYoagh for his open latter to Bristovr. According to Halaod , Prcsi dent Arthur importuned Mr. MaoYoagh to remain in the cabinet whore Garfield had placed him , and that ho "choso to abandon his post and run away from his official duties at the most critical in ment. " In Halstod's opinion M&oVoagh has only exposed hiiruulf to universal contempt , The editor of the Commercial Gazette concludes his article as follows : 'A proper sense of decency and the fitness of things" should have induced Mr. MooVeagh to have held his peace at the present time , since it ouuht not to be regarded us a crime or an act worthy ol rgbu-o for Riiy republican to work and apeak in lohulf of the renoinlnatimi of a President who has won the respect and conGdeuco of ( ho whole country , and ha _ had the hearty endorsement of every re publican state convention save ono , H would certainly be telling the country a great deal , and at the same Ume retloci latting honor upon tbo republican par if it could be assured that tbo next ad ministration at Washington would bo us eafe , BS conservative , and aa free from errors and scandals as the present one * SERVICE ix MASSACJW SKTTS. TUB public service committee of the Massachusetts house of representatives las just reported n civil service law for thostato. In many respects it is a re markable mcaauro nnd might well form a model to other states in the union. Mas- lachusotls has always been the peculiar lomo of civil service reform , and thcro s no doubt that this law or ono like it , will bo passed at the present session. In some particulars it is very much like , ho national civil service act. Its aim is o apply the principles of that measure to iatoand municipal offices. In this * rc ard it is the first law of the kind over lovisod. It provides for the appointment mont by the governor of three commis iionora to servo three years each. These are to select after a competent oxamina' ' ion persons "to fill offices in the government mont of the commonwealth and of the cities thereof , which are rcouircd to bo illod by appointment , " and are to select "persons to bo employed as laborers or otherwise- the service of the common- wcath and of the several cities thoroof. " No recommendation given by any sena tor , representative , alderman or council man , except as to the character or residence - donco of the applicant , is to bo en torUincd by the commission. The rules against political assessments are very strict. No employe of state or city is to bo allowed to solicit , nor give any contribution for political purposes , nor remove , prejudice , degrade nor threaten any other employe for refusing to give such a contribution. No oflicos are to bo promised in advance forpolitical purposes by any person holding any public oflico or oven in nomination therefor. Elo v tivo and judicial ollicorn , these whoso up [ ointment in subject to the confirmation of the executive council or city council , lieads of departments , public school teach ers and the private secretaries of oxecu Live officers , are , for obvious reasons , exempted empted from the operation of the act. The rest of the bill , which is vary long , relates chiefly to the manner in which examinations shall.bo hold , and the precautions - cautions for securing their honesty. Under this act all state and municipal employes , such as wardens , commission era , marshals , policemen , inspectors do toctivcs , fireman , etc. , uro to bo elected according to the principles of civil ser vice reform. Instead of being appointed for merely political or personal reasons they are to bo chosen on the true business basis of competency and character. Only these who show good evidences of ability , if the act bo faithfully executed , can bo appointed. The importance of this proposed - posed reform in the public service is \ ory groat. Incompetent , dissolute and cornpt officials have been the curse of ovcry state and city in the union. As long as mayors or governors have the solo power of appointment an n reward for political service , ward bummers , shysters and job bers are chosen to fill responsible posi tions. The experiment in Massachusetts will bo watched with interest by men who desire to elevate the standard of our local government and eradicate abuses that have bocomd a source of great danger to American states and municipalities. MEXICO AND ITS PItESIDENT. If President Gonoxlos resigns , as it is rumored ho will shortly , Mexico will Imvo good reason to congratulate herself. Ho has boon , from the beginning of his administration , a constant hindrance to the progress of the country in any diroc tion. Ho is as much of a despot as the most absolute monarch , and as much ol a robber and plunderer as a highwayman. Ho is of a brutal and savage disposition , with an intense and bigoted hatred ol Americans and all the improvements tlicj are trying to introduce. Ono of his ty rannicol acts was substituting nickel for silver and gold coins. By compelling the people to exchange their good metals for the inferior money : io cleared not less than § 5,000,000. The Mexican treasury is clogged with nickels but Gonalmi holds fast to his llei/al gains , Although ho wont into power a poor man Goimlca has accumulated ilftoen millions by lawless and corrupt schemes , Another of his despotic meas ures was the stamp act , which almost created a revolution. All the foreign morclmnU in the country wore sudden ly informed tnat after a certain date no goods would bo allowed to leave any of their nro without n government tax allho , . * | The price of the stamp wut t\ \ % l , , ! i and the dooroo practically amounted Io embargo on the foreign marclmnts trodo. Under Gonzales' administration the customs officers nnd the chiefs or governors of departments ore aa despotic and as extortionate 0.1 himself , Fines ore levied on importers upon the slighcst pretext - text , or upon no pretext at nil. The customs - toms laws are strained to the utmost ex tent to extort the last possible cent from Americans. The chiefs of departments near the border openly levy blackmail on all Americans who attempt to do business thoro. If it is not paid , u pretense of taking a loan is trumped up , under which all of the refractory Americans' goods are seized and carried away. The temper of the people is knpt constantly irritated and exasperated against the Americans. It is almost impossible for merchants of this country to carry on their business thoro. Even these who are engaged in building railroads and de veloping the resources of the country are in constant danger of arrest on trilling charges , and when once In jail are sel dom brought out alive. General Diaz , vrho is most likely to be the successor of Qonzalos is a man of broad liberal and progressive ideas. While at the head of the Mexican re- publio ho foaterered and enouragod ov cry cuterpileo that tends to raieo the Mexican people to a level with other civilized nations. TAMl'MllNU WI111 Tlllt SC1IOOOL PUXD. Ono of the questions that will have to answered at on early day is whether ' .ho city treasurer of Omaha has any right , o keep in his own possession money paid n by the liquor dealers and which bo- ongs to the school fund. If the tnonoy does not belong to the school fund , it certainly does not belong to the treasurer , unless ho regards himself as staka-holdor for the liquor dealers. Suppose a liquor dealer , who has paid in § 250 or § 500 , but can got no license until ho has paid the balance of the $1,000 , should die , which is liable to happen , to whom will the treasurer account for the money. It is not his own , because ho can lay no legal claim to it , and according to his own version it docs not belong to the school fund , because the party , that paid it to him has no li- conso. Suppose again , that a dealer who has paid in § 250 concludes to give up the liquor business at the end of three months , and therefore never get * a 11- ccnso , will the treasurer con'inuo ' to hold that money and leop it in the bank on interest ? Is the school fund to bo robbed on account of a technicality ? Thcro is no doubt that during the summer season from fifteen to twenty men will want to soil liquor in Omaha , for from ono to three months. They will pay to the troasuaor all the way from § 83 to $250 each , and the treasurer proposes very cooly to put that money in his bank on interest , instead of paying it over to the school board. When the season is over not ono of these mon will have a li cense , and the treasurer will not only have the uao of the money , but ho may hold on to It until after his term expires , and refuse to hand it over to his success or. This is a beautiful state of affairs , and certainly ought to bo attended to at once by the mayor and council andboarc of education. A very eminent attorney in this city gives it as his opinion that the city treasurer has no right to receive the liquor license money , but that the county treasurer is the proper custodian oil school moneys obtained from liquor licenses. The ordinance regulating the sale of liquor in this city , which makes the license money payable ( a the city treasurer , is in conflict with the general statutes , and hence it is void It strikes us that the tinio has come for the city to comply with the laws , and have its ordin ances , regulitinc the sale "f liquors , legally fram d to tut the < 3 ilora who are willing to lorap'/ with th > law can havi ) pioper j.nuoution , i Q the oily schools have the benefit of the fund aris ing from the liquor traffic. CITY WALKS AND TALKS. ' 'Well , captain , what nro you driving at ? " nshoil n prominent citlrcu of Captain Marsh , who Imn juat returned from California , where ho lian been for three months fur his hoalth. "I nm tnking it easy , now , nnd propose - pose to continue to do BO for the rout of my life,1' replied the cnptnln ; "I don't have to work any uioro. " Captain Marsh lias boon a nistlor nil his Hfo , nnd his ninny ft lands will bo glad to learn Hint ho can at last take It uttHy. Ho came to Nebraska tn the spring of 1850 , nnd located In Dakota county , where ho cng.igod In the Btogo businota , runulnp n line from Dakota City to Niobraru. Ho won the first mull contractor In the territory of Dakota , lib contract being from Sioux City to 1'ort Hntulull , between which points ho ran n atngo line for two yearn.
