THE day wo do not celebrate in Omaha Is near nt hand. , is the Bcoson of the year when on appointment to Alnskn ought to bo ap predated moro than nt any ether time. IF there are any noticablo number of now saloons oponcd during the next few weeks in Omaha , it will bo nafo to say the keepers are emigrants from the prohibi tion state of Iowa. WE nro not surprised that Harry Ool richs , a Wyoming cattle kinglms followed the Jersey Lily nil the wny to San Frnn cisco. Ho wants to introduce tho.Torsoy among his long-horns. Now that oxyqon has boon discovorcc to bo a Buro euro for cholera the democratic party is onfo. A dose of oxygen may ro atoro Sam Tilden to vitality before the democratic national convention meets. PAUKEII , of No TV Jor eay , has not declined the democratic presidential nomination. Ho very son ibly says that ho Is not a candidate ; and cannot nccopt anything which has .not boon tendered him. IF Ex-Mayor Chase could aot a change of venue to Lancaster county nnd got the editor of the Lincoln Journal on the jury Jio could rest assured as to the result. The Journal man , who is a champion ol the ex-mayor's cause , would hang the jury. Mr. Gore has always had n sym pithotio fooling for bribo-takors , CHAIRMAN Donsnv , of the atato ropub- Jican committee , has oponcd the cam paign by an urgent appeal to all county republican committees to organize Ulaino and Logan club in each town and village at once , and rnako Nebraska the banner state in the union. It is to bo Jiopcd that Mr. Dorsoy'B efforts will bo seconded by all loyal republicans , in every part of the state. THE cable brings us the important intelligence telligenco that Minister Lowell has , ou account of the gout , rf decided to ' .give up his anticipated swell Fourth ol 'J July dinner. This is a great sacrifice on the part of Minister Lowell , and ho ivill have the sympathy of the American people , who the day bofojo wore informed that ho concluded not to abandon his din ner. If ho again changes his mind with in the next twenty-four hours the Ameri can public will of course bo informed by -tho cablo. TIIE now anti-Chinese bill , which has already passed the house , will probably bo brought up in the sonata this week It is a very stringent measure , and gives Additional powers to ofliciaU for the en forcemeat of necessary regulations. The democrats allege that the reason fur tok ing it up at this late day is to strengthen Blaine on the Pacific coast. They scorn to forget , however , that the California dojpgation was the most enthusiastic in its support of Blaine , and fought for him first , last and all the timo. Ho will have 10 difficulty in carrying the Pacific CORB toy a largo majority , as ho is a great favorite vorito t aero. THE continued depression in the stoo industry has compelled tlio managers ol the Pennsylvania steel works , near Har zisburg , to give notice of a reduction in yagcs of 10 per cent. Ai the altornativi is a reduction or a suspension , 10 poi ont. leas wages or none at all , it is hard ly probable tlio workmen vfill resist thi reduction , however disagreeable to then iho step which the company is obliged t < tako. [ P/iiladcljMu ffcss. This is another confession that pro tection , applied in its most protcctiv form , does not protect the workingman gioit low wages.

OuiEf JUSTICE DISAKK , of tbo court o claims , is a very particular man. Hi obj&cla to baing called judge , Ho in H i U upon bsinjj failed chief juatico , and iliat Ids name inuit bo signed 0. D. fln jDfke. He recently refused to endorse \n \ riwck lye hit salary f.-am Uio IKU ury department because it was mode out to Charles D. ) rako. His eminence was accordingly lormittoA to cndorao it with the signature Chief Justice 0. D. Drake. " The ) ropon thing to have done under the cir cumstances was to lot the chief justice of the court of claims keep the chock as n louvonir unlll ho endorsed it in accord ance with the addroes on the fnco. THEIIE is nt Chicago , in the Briggs house , a crank by the nnmo of Shivoloy , who pretends to carry In his pocket Uio entire anti-monopoly p rty In his trow- ser-loons pocket. This brilliant genius assures the political mugwumpswho are working up a Blato for Bon 'Butler that Nebraska would bo ono of the ulatos that Butler could carry if ho is endorsed by the democrats. A striking illustra tion of the valuable fund of political in formation possorsod by this man Shivoloy , is afforded by his reference to Senator Vnn Wyck , who ho says was elected two years by the republicans , as a compromlsu candidate in order to prevent the election of nn out and out monopolist. What Shivoloy does not know about Nebraska politics would Dll BOV oral volumes. Tin : cholera in Franco is being pretty well hold in check. So far it has boon confined principally to Toulon and Mar- soillo3.grho most Important ploco of news regarding the epidemic is the cable an nouncement that five cmes of cholera have boon cured by Inhaling pure oxy. gen. The effect of the inhalation oxy < gen , it is stated , is immediate , nnd con sists in restoring warmth to the system , making the pulse normal. Oxygen being - ing ono of thoolomonts of the atmosphere and essential to vitality , it is reasonable to presume that the introduction of pure oxygen will destroy the germs of the disease. The trouble with the patient is that ho dies from exhaustion , the disintegration of the vital forces being very rapid. The disease ia probably of miasmatio origin , and local conditions may favor or check ita local development ; but whether ; } io disease ought to bo called contagious or not is ono of the most warmly disputed points in medicine. It is certain that labitunl personal contact with the sick is often not followed by the disease. It is bold by many that the diaoaao is propa ; atod by drinking water ; by others , that its germs are taken up from the air the patient breathes. Tlio discovery of the oxygen treatment is , if it proves a success , a greater discovery than that of vaccination , the latter being a proven tlvo and the former a cure. The lending physicians of Franco nnd the French Acadomy'of Medicine will no doubt fully investigate the oxygen treatment , and render a definite decision as to its morita. ANOTHER PJtfNTERS' ' STRIKE , Under the lend of the notorious Jnoni Lowiewho was recently elected president of the Omaha Typographical union in place of Kellogg 0. Gould , another gene ral printers' strike is shortly to bo precip itated in all the newspaper offices ol Omaha. As a prelude to this programme permits hnvo boon iisuod by the union tea a number of printers to work in the Biu oflico , nnd they have from time to time boon employed hero. Some of these printers , as wo are reliably informed , have boon imported from ether cities for the solo purpose of creating discord and trouble , and the scheme is to have another walk-out from this oflico whllo the democratic national convention is in session. Wo hnvp never objopted to union printers so long as they behaved thomuolvca nnd accepted positions In good faith , bub being forewarned wo don't propose to allow the mlsdhiof makers to disturb the workings of tin oflico. They will hardly succeed pt this time in roping-in the mon who are thoroughly satisQod with thnir places nnc wages. So far as wo are concerned wo say to the printers' union that we know that our patrons will bo satisfied if wo don't publish a paper larger than n poata card during any trouble that may bo un juatly nnd maliciously precipitated upon us by the union , nnd believe that the patrona of nil tlio Omaha dailies fool the same way. * What excuse is there for n strike ai this time for higher wages ) With the commerce and industry prostrated al over the land , with hundreds of thousands of mechanics and laborers out of employ' mont , with manufacturers ecarcoly able to keep their heads above water , the newspapers of the country are in no con dition to advance the wages of their cm- ployoa. In Omaha , notwithstandingtho public improvements and the various enterprises of the business men , the depression ia more or loss felt. Moro than 1000 mon have boon thrown out of employment during the last six months in the Union Pacific shops. They would gladly resume work at their old wages , bu.t they cannot'du BO as there is no work for them , and they are com pelled to seek employment in ether channels. Labor every where has boon compelled to succumb to the inevitable. The cost of food and clothing and all commodities hns boon steadily declining for the past two or throe yean. In the face of all this the printers in the BEK office are earning from ten to fifteen per cent moro than they wore five years ago , when they wore satiified. The 'scab" wages which wo pay will en. able any competent printer to earn from 52.CO to 81.00 per dor , year in and year out. Our printers' pay-roll to-day ia a week more than it was two years ago. But these facts luwo no weight with a gang of hoodlums and tramps who came hero to organize strikes and create trouble. Their conduct during the recent strike , and over since , has boon such as ta soarlacs every iottut air treatment nnd good wages nro no what they want. They want fight rtnd the sooner they begin the bettor. They wnnt strikes , and they want tontribu- Ions from the labor of others to support horn during their idleness. Wo appio- tend that the contributions will not bo eery numerous. IS THE MONEY COM INQFROMt Before another year rolls round Omaha will bo confronted with the problem of low to raise sufficient revenue , under the present system of assessment , to moot ho current expenses , which ore constant- y increasing with the growth nnd im provement of the city. Before the water works wore put in , TTO wore posi tively assured that when the works wore completed the fire department expenses would bo cut down three-fourths , as wo would have a jmfllclont number of fire tiydranta to protect property. At that time , nbout tliroo years ago , the fire department expanses wore about $15,000 a year. The waterworks - works have boon completed , nnd we nro paying a tax of over 822,000 a year for hydrant rental , but the fire department expenses have not boon cut down. Wo have , in four years , incrooaod our police force from eight mon to thirty ; and the expense of this department from 87,200 to 827,000 n year. Other departments in the city have boon increased proper tionately. Wo nro levying n tax for ntreot sprinklingnnd we have juatlotacon- tract for street cleaning vrhich will add $10,000 to the aggregate yearly munici pal expenses. Whore is all this money to como from , if the present system of ridiculously low assessment is continued ? How ia it practical under the limitations imposed by the state con stitution nnd the city charter in the levying of taxes to raise n revenue that will moot all those expenses and leave us besides a reasonable amount for ordinary improvements , such as grading , curbing , guttering , Boworago , and re pairs ? There must bo a halt called on the constant increase of municipal ex penses , or wo must have some way of levying a revenue to moot these expenses. Our expenses ara bound to increase , nnd the only wny to do is to increase our as sessments to n reasonable figure. It ia an outrage to longer con tinue our property valuation at $7,000,000 which is considerably less than it was ton years ago. Docs nny sane man suppose for ono moment that our property has not increased in value in ton years ? Yet the assessors continuo - tinuo to assess property nt the same old figures , when it is nn undeniable fact that property has increased all the way from five to ton fold in valuo. Are they going to keep on assessing nt the old fig- urcs , while Omaha is growing to bo n largo city of 100,000 people a city of over five times the size of , what it wan in 1870 ? What wo need and must have is immediate reform in our assessments. TIIK question whether n railroad com pany is responsible for the acts of its employes is being pretty definitely an- aworcd in the affirmative by the supreme courts of the various states. The latest decision on this point has heon rendered by the Bupromo court of Massachusetts. The ticket seller of the Boston & Albany railroad at North Adams , Bold to a pas senger two tickets , ono from North Adams to Chester , and the other , which was punched twice , nnd which the agent represented vraa good , for the remainder of the journey from Cheater to Spring- Gold , When tha passenger tendered the plintmed ticket to the con- dtiotot it was refused on the ground that it was worthless. Ho also refused to telegraph to thu agent nt North Adams to luurn whether it waa good. The pnBsongor , who would pay the seventy cents faro demanded by the con ductor , was forcibly ejected from thot ait nt Pittsfiold , whore he was handed ever to a policeman nnd detained in the lock-up ever night. In the morning ho was released , no charge being preferred against him by the company. Tlio North Adnma ticket seller subsequently aont an apology the purchaser of the ticket for his blunder. This gentleman , however , thought that ho was entitled to BOinothitii ; more substantial than nn apology elegy , nnd brought suit agaiuat the company for dnmagoa.Tho jury give him n verdict for ? 1,500. Judge Soulo , counsel for the road , naked the court to rule that the conductor had n right to net ns ho did Binco the ticket proffered was not good. The mistake ot the ticket seller hoclaimod was something that tlio conductor was not responsible for , The court declined so to rule , but instructed Uio jury that if Uio purchaser exorcised reasonable care in the purchase of his ticket and bought it in qood faith ho was entitled to recover. The defen dant appealed to thu supreme court , and this tribunal has overruled the exceptions sustaining the ruling of the lower court. Thia Bottles the fact thnt a railroad com pany must bo responsible for the negli gence of B employes whether Uiey are ticket BO i n T others.

"Tho Hilllop Highway to Lhicoln and Lho mountains" is the title given to the now D. & M. cut-off between Omaha and Ashland. The work of grading the route is now under way for n distance of four or five miles from this city. The hilltops are dotted with the tonta and the camp equipments of the graders. The line will run , acres * the Union Paci fic at the Summit mid strike the now slock yards at the northwest corner. The route takes a southwestern course from this point and will again cross the Union Pacific somewhere between Pap- pilion and Millard. There are a largo number of mon and teams employed and the intontien is to push it to completion before anew flies. The Ohoyonno papers joyfully report that the "sinews of war" have been secured to push the construction of tbo railroad from Choycnno to the Yellow- Btono park. The capitalists who are to furnish ' tha funds are coming Treat to Investigate tbo road and perfect plans for its construction. The building of thia much talkod-of line , which now scorns assured , will work a wonderful transformation in that region of Wyoming now almost uninhabited , opening up now Holds of enterprise , and furnishing transportation facilities for the stock nnd mineral industries of the interior. The Swootwntcr nnd Big Horn vnlloya rank among the host grazing fields of the torritl tory < while the mineral wealth of the various dlatricts contiguous to the pro- poaod line will received a much needed stimulus. "A railroad to the northwest , " says the Sun , "which will combine the routes of the : Cheyenne , Black Hills & Montana survey and also a line westward from Fort Laramie through the rich mineral sections of Albany , Carbon and Fremont counties , with a branch line tapping the stock country in Swootwntor county , nnd finally extending to the great national pleasure grounds , will open Wyoming's resources to the world and make her the greatest territory in the woat. "A somewhat significant fact in this connection is. the recent filing by Prof. Samuel Aughoy on thirty-one placer oil claims , for the Bothwoll syndicate , in township 41 , range 81. This township is in the southern line of townships n Johnson county , on the nouth park of Powder river , and but fifty miles from a very fcasablo route for a railroad west ward from Fort Laramio. " The negotiations which have been in progress for some time between a com mittee of the citizens of Laramie and Btockmon of Albany county , Wyoming , and the land department of the Union Pacific , did not result In a definite settle ment of the question at issue the pur. chase price of GOO , 000 acres of land in the county mentioned. Commissioner Burnham , of the land department , at first offered to sell the land in bulk at loss than $1 per acre , provided no bettor terms could bo had frppij outside parties vrlio wore at the time negotiating for the same land. Befora the Laramie syndi cate had concluded to purchase a dispatch was received from the commlBsionorput- ting thoprico _ at $1 per acre. This rather demoralized the syndicate. The conflict- ing ; Interests of the ranchmen caused a deli ay fatal to the reduced prlco , and a failure to accept oven the terms of $1 per aero will result in stillhigh'or ; prices. The atmosphere of Mormondom is at present streaked with the sulphurous fumes of profanity , the like of which has not boon equalled since the day of Til- don's declination. The dispatches put it mildly when they stated that the npos- ties , bishops and aiders and their angelic following wore hot because congress had passed the anti-polygamy bill , The Mor mon press have ransacked the histories of ancient and modern persecutions and culled from their teeming pages a sufli- cionoy of adjectives to feebly express their contempt for the authors and sup porters of the bill. "Wo are compelled , " says the Ogdcn Pilot , "to refer again to that infamous piece of Torquoraadn juris prudence , to that rocking resuscitation of Now England blua-lnwo , which bears the name of Hoar. Tins is the law which the : gontilca say is a stop in the rijjht direction , which moana , in the direction of the fagots the flames of which wore extinguished only by the blood of the 1a tUbigeiiBos 1 ; in tho'direction of the stakes at which HUBS fell a victim to papal tyr rany ; in the direction at which Sorvotua found his flaming goal through Calvin's cruelty ; in the direction of tlio fires of Smithfield ; In the direction of the funeral d pyres on which Mr. Hoar's pious progen itors burned the witches of Massachus etts ; in the direction of Carthage , 111 , , whore , forty yotira ago , Joseph Smith , the prophet , and Hyram Smith , the patri arch , of tbo church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints , wore ruthlessly mur dered by a mob mauoouvorod by Meth odist ministers and other hypocritical professors of the religion of the meek a and lowly Jesus. " The Pilot spilled its wrath over several columns , and rasped the gentiles in every paragraph and between linos. The cam paign in the Jordan valley Is at a white heat , and something Is liable to bo singed. tl a The blistering July sun and the waning dog days of August are .frigid topics compared with the wealth of warmth dis' played by the editorial purlsta and poly- gamista of Utah , and the mud-batteries of presidential campaign aro' Insignificant compared with the unmasked Krupps Of the endowment house. KMMH The Denver & Rio Grande road , the narrow guago giant of Colorado , is on the ragged cdgo of bankruptcy. Its career from its birth has boon a continuous bat tle with obstacle ! bundling and operating ing , It scaled mountain sides only to strew them with dismantled engines and splinters of wrecked can. Mountain torrents and bewildering canyons were spanned with costly bridges , to become playthings in the besom of summer floods. In the past winter Ita energies and treasury wore taxed to dig its way through hugh snow drifts , a clear hall million dollars being spent in that work , and scarcely had the snow shovels boon pul away than the summer thaws sot in , washing away mile after mile of the track and blockading business for weeks , To add to "the full and rounded measure"of the road's troubles liaraxsuig litigation \ a bcg u , tUUchincaU. iuuod , uud ovury ef-j I fort was mods to swamp what was loft by the flood. It is hardly possible In the present condition of the company's finances to save the road from a receiver. Even if the vat damage which the road has BUS taincd had not occurred , the business of mining camps and mountain towns , bare ly a fraction of what it was a year ago , failed to offset the drain on the treasury f Tor repairs , leaving stockholders to whis tle for a dividend , The blockade of business bywashouts on the Salt Lake extension of the Denver & Rte Grande has forced the Burlington management to look around for a safer and bettor route through the mountains to Salt Lake City. The Denver Tribune , speaking 1 of the movement , says : "Thn Burlington is surveying anew rou'o from Denver to Bolt Sake through Boulder canyon and Middle Park. This is not conclusive | evidence , however , that it has decided to build an extension It has had surveying parties out between this point and Salt Lake for two years. All the routes have boon rejected as too costly. But a road through northwest Colorado would pay from its local traffic. It would open a virgin country that is full of varied resources.

The route is from China Point , Idaho , on the Utah & Nevada division , eastward via Dry and Comas crooka to and : up Snake river to Henry's lakoj thence two lines across the Rocky moun tains . via Tahgoo and Rim's passes , at an elevation of 7,125 and 6,000 foot reapcc- . lively ; thence to Madison river and up that stream and Fire Hole river to Lower 3oysor basin ; thence down the Madison rivur to the head of the Wisconsin below Gallalin City.
