OUT of over 10,000 bills and resolu
tions introduced during the last nossiou
of congress only 17J became laws , and
among the bills passed there nro quito a
'nnmbor that are of little or no value.
It is no trouble to Introduce billi ) , but
the difficulty is in determining among the
vast number what onaa possess uufiioicnt
merit to become laws.
THE controvoroy. arausud by Ilorbnrt
Spcncor'a recent article on "Religious
Jlotroopeot and Prospect" is to receive
nil important addition in n rejoinder
from Mr. Spencer entitled "Ilotrogrea-
eivo Religion. " Thia article and the ono
by Frodcrio Harrison on "Tho Ghost of
Religion , " with which the rejoinder
chiefly donla , are to ho published in the
August Popular Science Monthly.
TuATDodgo City Spanish bu'l ' fight
having proved nuch a brilliant and excit
ing success , the next thing that wo shall
hear o will bo n cow-boy bull-lighting
combinatiou , whicn will give exhibitions
in the principal cities of the east , "to
: * > illustrate the sports of the wild west. "
The foulosn cowboy and the untamed
H r bull are to have opened to thorn a very
useful Gold. They will rival Bullalo Dili
and his fiery untamed Indiana.
A lun'onx has started that Governor
Sherman , of Iowa , oUnda ready to call
out the militia to close the saloons in Dubuque -
buquo , if the demand , is made by the
sheriff or mayor. This story is improba
ble on its face , as the militia cannot bo
called out until after the civil oilicora
prove thomiolvcn powcrlosa to enforce
the law owing to open rcsialanco or riot.
If the authorities of Dubuque are in
sympathy with the saloon-keepers and
do not close them up , thcMu'illtia cannot
bo called upon to perform that duty for
them.
Tun cholera has jumped from Franco
to Germany , it having nmdo ita nppoar
nncu at Constance , in the duchy of
Badou. Thin is iu accordance with the
prediction gf the eminent Gormun phy-
eicmu nnd export Dr. Koch , who stated
on Monday last that ( ho proupoot of thu
sproftd of the disease nil over Europe was
hourly more certain , and that porhapa it
would ultimately roach America. London
u > crowded with Americans wno liavo
boon frightened out oE franco , nnd will
noon return homo. It is not nt nil un
likely that some of them will carry the
acourgo with them , and possibly they
may , if their return is delayed much
longer , bo eubjocted to a long quarantine
before landing. Meantime uvory Amer
ican city ought to take immediate sani
tary precaution * , the principal of which
i the thorough cleaning of alreota ,
alloys , sowcra , and all other places vrhoro
filth lias bo n allowed to accumulate.
Tur.city of Minneapolis is troubled with
tramps , and her principal citizens are on-
r doavoriug to solve the problem , "what
shall wn do with the tramps ? " .At a re
cent mooting the question was practically
disouucd , and it was recommended thai
a house of eight or ( en rooms bo secured
in the control port of the oily , and that a
woodyard bo maintained in connection
with it meals , lodging , and baths to bo
lurnished only after the performance of a
certain amount of wood-sawing. Instead
of giving money and food to every tramp
in every part of the city , the citizens are
to supply themselves with raoal tickets ,
costing ton cents each , and these tickets
are to bo presented to tramps instead
of money of food. But the tramp can
not got this meal until after he-has sawed
enough wood to earn it. This ii un
doubtedly the beat plan that could bo
suggested for driving out the tramps , an
not ono in a hundred will accept a meal
ticket conditional upon his sawing wood
or doing any other work. Rather than
naw wood the average tramp would rather
steal or starve. The Minneapolis plan b
respectfully suggested to the citizens o )
Omaha ,
Tnr. regular British troops of to-day
are evidently not composed of Iho stuf
that soldiers are generally supposed to
bo made of. At ft recent sham light near
Aldorshot hundreds of the youthful soldiers -
diors displayed an utter lack of stamina ,
and foil out of the ranks during the eve
lutions. Many were sunstruok and others
incapacitated by sere foot , summer complaints -
plaints and other ailments. The ambu
lances were kopl constantly occupied in
carrying the sufferers to the roar , and the
hospital is now crowded. If a sham fight
thus disposes of hundreds of bravo
Britishers , what would bo the effect o :
a real baltlol Is the British soldier played -
od out ? lias his old-time strength deserted
sorted him , or is ho shamming sick in or
dcr to give a realistic effect to the battle' '
At any rate wo will wager that the Nebraska
braska militia can undergo the hardships
of a sham battle much bettor than the
bloody Britishers at Aldorshot.
IT now transpire ? that congress after
all failed to pass a suflicient appropriation
to pay for the substitutes for letter car
rlcrs during the vacation of two wcoks
granted them. Only $50,000 was allowot
for this purpose and that will permit o ;
only seven days leave for each carrier in
service , and if a longer vacation is taken ,
they will have to pay their own substi
tutes tor any excess of that timo. Con
gress only provided for carriers now in
the service for . ' 105 days , while it should
have provided for . ' 180 dnys. This will
provo o great disappointment to the hard'
working carriers , who were looking for
word to a well-earned vacation without
Josing their pay.
TJIK zeal of John B. Puray. for Riving
printing contraots to the highest bidder
was almost equal to what ic uaod to bo
when ho was in the mail service to got
his odicial wares in the Jfcrald. "Kverjr-
body reads the Jfcratd , " wao Mr.
Furay'a ' old refrain. Omaha Herald.
Well , if everybody docn road the Jler-
aid , the editor ohould not fool indig
ent upon being asked to toll under
oath juat how many people subscribe for
the Herald in the city of Omaha. If the
Jfcrald circulates half as many papers in
.his city or oven one-third as many as the
DKK it will got the printing contract. If
t docs not , its lower bid is the higher bid
) y a largo majority.
THE BEE , as unual , loads ila contem
poraries in publishing the nows. It pub-
inhod the fullnst associated press report ,
: ogothor with specials , of the national re
publican convention , nnd It is now doing
the eamo thing in regard to the democrat-
o convention , while our morning con-
; omporarios have printed abbreviated
accounts. So far it has printed every
ino of the regular press report , besides
mportant special dispatches. Tun Br.r.'a
enterprise iu being appreciated , ns it cor-
.ainly ought to bo.
AFTKK several wcoko of litigation it is
announced that the secured creditors of
3rant A Ward will realize from the as
sets about ono cent on the dollar. * VVo
ant surprised that they will bo able to
roahV.o as much as this after so many
awyors have had their hands in the of-
airs of the defunct brokers.
LELAND STANFOKD , 0. P. Huntington ,

TIOKKW were hawked about at $1U for
.ho day or § 25 for the convention , while
.huusands of indignant democrats ttood
iut in the stroota as mad us hornets over
: heir failure to got in. When it bocnmo
known that 2,000 chairs in the hall wont
unoccupied throughout the day , there
row a suspicion that somebody was turn
ing an honest penny by means of the
show. Chicago Special ,
It in a cold day when the party of
economy and reform does not turn an
louost penny.
ONE guess at the first ballot In the Chicago
cage democratic convention is as follows :
Cleveland , -KM ; Thurman , 133 ; Bayard ,
00 ; McDonald , (10 ( ; Butler , 31 ; Carlisle ,
20 ; Waller , 1-1 ; scattering 11. Necessa
ry to nominate , 534j votes. This gures
was made last Monday by the Philadel
phia Press.
TAI.MAOK asks : "Shall wo have the
Tombs for a man who steals an overcoat
and all Canada for a man to tango in if
10 robs the people of throe millions ? " It
seems that about the only way to got
aold ) of the defaulting bank presi
dents and other wholesale plunderers
would bo to annex Canada.
Now Couucilmon Furay and Kaufman
have incurred the displeasure of the
Jferald because they insist that the
actual circulation of the official city paper
shall bo known. In other words that
city advertisements shall not bo inserted
in readerloaa newspapers.
CUMMINOJ , of Omaha , has
served notice upon the gamblers to take
their usual vacation. Those who are not
wanted to testify in the Chaao caao will
probably go to Spirit Lake or Lake Mia-
notonka for a month or two.
republican committee of the third
congressional district has called the con
vention for the 20th of this month to
nominate a successor to Valentino , aud

THE intelligent contraband who was
expected to arrive in Chicago during the
national democratic convention has not
yet put in an appearance. Perhaps Bon
Butler can explain his absence.
INSTEAD of painting their white hats
rod , after the style of George II. Brooks
of Nebraska , the Thurman onlhusUsU

TJIURMAX got more applauao than any
other delegate ] as ho entered the hall o

Chicago Tribune- .
In those days of betrayal of trusts , of
rings , of abuse of franchises , of speculat
ing and peculating managers , it is a matter
tor of no little moment to public interests
at largo aa well as to the private interests
most specially concerned in Union Pa-
ciflo to have a man of the high character ,
ability and practical experience in rail
roads of Mr. Adams placed at the head
of ono of the great transportation lines
in the country.
The Union Pacific is not a private bus
incas enterprise. It is more of n public
corporation than railroads usually are ,
for the United States as a largo bond
holder is practically n partner in its bus
iness. The pcopln of the United States
have therefore the right to "want to
know" about ita affairs and the probable
intentions of its managers , There is
very intense- feeling that this corporation
lias in the paat played n very miachiov
ouo part iu the politics of the country
and a very mischievous nnd tyrannical
part in ita business by its extortionate
charges and its discriminations iu favor
of pctticd shippers against others not so
fortunate. These things have been pos
sible because the men ut thn head of the
Union Pacific have been sordid persona ,
with no views above the making of
money and without a glimmer of a sense
of public duty , and , an Mr. Adamo once
laid of Mr. Uould , "without a concept
Ion of a moral principle. " Now that the
road has pone into the hands of a re
former , who is by birth , education , and
preference n man who lovca the right
> nd the right dares pursue , the public
will look with a now hope for the oxhi-
aition on n grand Hcalo of private virtues
u public affairs.
Ono of the first things that people will
want to know of Mr. Adams will bo
whether under hia management the
Union Pacific will continue its anti-social
cotirao of refusing to pay taxes on the
ands it holds by grant from the United
States , in the states. They havo'avoided
doing so hitherto by the miserable sub-
; orfugo of not paying the coata of the
and ouryoys and claiming that as the
mpor evidence of title waa iu cense
[ uonco thereof withhold they vrcro not
: ho owners of the land , although they
lave boon declared by the United States
, o bo the owners , cinco they have Leon
allowed by it to iasuo bonds on the se
curity of these landa. The Union Pa
cific ought to pay taxes in the states like
other proporty-ownera. Not doin EO
mts it in the disgraceful position of
dead-boating the community for its civil
inflection Does Mr. Adams intend to
lormit the Union Pacific under his care
to continue- that anarchical position ?
The civil service of the state of Ne
braska is filled with the agents and omis
mrion of the Union Pacific railroad ,
f ho deublo characters draw salaries from
.ho railroad and frotii tha common coun-
: ils , the boards of education , the counties ,
lie state itself , and are also .on the
lay-roll of the corporation. There is , wo
ire told , n political glooclub which spends
most of its time traveling over the state
ingingat political moo tings which is sup-
lortodcnttrely out of the treasury of the
ailroad. The Union Pacific has ita men
n the board of public worka in Omaha ,
i\nd when contracts are to bo made for
itono or other materials which the mom-
> crs of the inside riugs of the Union Pa
cific can supply it is noticed that
, ho board usually gives them
.0 thcao gentlemen. The road is
represented in the board of education ,
indj places in the schools are easily founder
or relatives and friends of its managers.
When the state of Nebraska attempts to
exert its power through the legislature
; o rcgulato the rates of faro on the branch
lues in the stale the legislature is pre
vented from acting by the clover manou-
vrro of the "gentlemen who draw ono
salary from the people of the state aa let-
alatora mid another from the railroads us
ta employes , attorneys , or what not.
Wherever the Union Pacilio runs its
nain line or any branch through Neb
raska there you will find n coterminous
chain of Union Pacific Judges.
All this is very much out of place in a
corporation chartered by the people for
.ho public convenience. It waa never
iontumplatcd by the public in creating
, ho corporation that it would ever have
.o submit t : > the despotic and universal
rule of the corporation , and that when it
tttomptod to , exorcise Its undoubted
powora to govern the corporation its act
on should bo vetoed by the corporation.
The Chicago , Burlington & Quiuoy road
dqcs not maintain u staff ot political
iookeya to saddle , and bridle , and ride
the people of Nebraska , and yet it has
) loaoant'r ( and more profitable relations
with the people than the Union Pacific ,
which devotes uo much of its energy and
hu money of its stockholders to running
Jio politics of the state and of every
; owu nnd county through which it
runs.
