ALBINUS NANCE was sent to the no
tional convention in 1870 and when he
came home ho was nominated governor ,
James W. Dawea was sent to the nation'
al convention in 1880 , and in 1882 he
was nominated for governor. Ooorg (
IV. Burton was sent to the convention in
1884 , and ho is about to blossom out at
n candidate for governor. "What would

MESSIIS. WATTKUSON and , T. Storlinc
.Morton , two of the high priests of the
American free-trade party , say that tin
tariff plank of the platform is the sami
in moaning as the tariff plank of 188' '
with the word "exclusively" instead o
"only. " Both are chuckling over tin
inauner in which they fooled the protect
iotiist members of the committee. Gen
Butler was _ the only person who say
through their scheme , and ho gave then
trouble , For this and other reasons Mr
J. Morton Stirling , especially , was in
censed at Butjer , and suys ho ought t <
liavo boon "kicked out of the cnnvor
tion , " or never lot in , Chicago Tribune
Mr. Morton is a good anti-monopolist
-when he is at homo , and wo are surprised
that ho should claim the monopoly In tin
construction of democratic piatforn
planks.
THI ; conscientious Colonel Laird chang
cd front on the Fitz John 1'ortor busi
ness. In his speech in support of tin
bill ho posed as a martyr to his convi :
tions , in voting against the well knowr
opinion of his constituents. When tin
name measure came up for passage ovei
the president1 ! ! veto , the colonel votcc
nay. Although these votes are glaring ] }
inconsistent , it would , of course , bo un
generous to suggest that , having sufferoc
martyrdom in compliance with the im
perative demands of his conscience am
his sense of right , ho now yields to tin
voice of the mob that has boon cryinj
"Crucify him ! " that ho , the colonel , maj
the moro easily get jjo-electod. [ Suttoi
cri later.
This.is slightly incorrect. Mr. Laird'
position on the Fitz John Porter bill ha
l > oen consistent throughout. Ho votoi
for the bill , and ho is'on ' record ashavini
voted for its passage over the president *
veto.
AN important change is about to b
made in the uniform of the enlisted mei
in the army , and a prominent army ofllcoi
eays that the proposed changes , if adopt
cdtrill give the men every reason to bi
proudj-of their uniforms and have a tendency
doncy to make them moro contented witl
a soldier's lot , and decrease the nutnbei
of desertions. The now uniforms an
aensible and at the name time attractive
A white stripe adds to the military appearance
pearanco of the trousers , and the chevrons
rons on the coat are of gold braid. Tin
proposed change has received the opprov
al of General Sheridan , but Secretary
Lincoln has decided tp wait for the
opinion of officers in the army in regard
to the matter before approving or diaap
proving it. But just how now and at-

AMERICAN AND EUROPE A
ARMIES.
There is a great deal of talk about
American policy. The republican par.
h&a decided in its platform to adopt i
American policy , and the democrat
party is iu favor of a continental polic
whatever that may moan. But It is us
los to talk about enforcing any poll
when wo have nothing to back it up o
copt bluster and bragadocio. llow a
surd those things must seem to the pc
plo across the Atlantic wo can hardly i
alizs. For nearly ton years our arn
has numbered leas than 25,000 men , ai
our navy is composed of old wood )
hulks aud rusty iron-dads that are wort
less , and could not compote In an ongag
niont with Patagonia. Meantime the n
tlons of Europe particularly the gro
powers , are constantly increasing the
armanonts and keeping themselves i
readiness for any emergency. Germat
can put 2,000,000 men in the field In to
days notico. Persia can put 2,500 , ' (
men into fighting torvico In the B D
timo. Austria , by alaw of 1808 , hat I
3JG,000 ( soldiers , and Italy , by the 1. V
of 1870 and 1882 , has 2,570,000 , th
making the army of the Austro-Gorn ai
Russian-Italian alliance , or ( juadrup
league , number moro than 10,000OC
of soldiers , splendidly and thorough !
drilled. This army has l.CC
batteries of field guns , so that the baltli
of the future will bo gigantic massacrct
both on land and sea. For twelve ycai
England , who allows no rivalry in davit
ing destructive aud terrible means of wai
Faro , has turned out daily a field batter
it Woolwich arsenal , and keeps 4,00
non employed night and day in cortai
'aotorios. She has produced monstc
annons of 200 tons that Bond projectile
it 0,000 pounds through armor throe fee
hick , and she has spent over $00,000,00
inco 1872 to secure coast defenses and in
reese her naval defenses. But in Gcr
aany the military development aud ox
icndituro is most remarkable. She ha
xpondcd § 100,000,000 in the rcconstruc
Ion and strengthening of horstrongholds
nd nothing has boon overlooked or nog
octed by which the maximum rapidity o
mobilization is obtainable in the dircc
ions from whence she apprehends dan
; or. Her array costs her $90,000,000
, bout $10,000,000 moro than the Engllsl
, rmy of 500,000 men costs England
Jompared with the above figures thi
, rmy of the United States is a men
ligmy , and in the event of any war
rhlch in this world of change , is liabli
o occur at any time , it would provo bu
weak defense to an invading foe.
THE grand jury indicted Marshal Guth
io for failing to do his duty , and for col
ision with lawbreakers. Marshal Cum
lings is now trying to do his duty to thi
iQst of his knowledge and ability. Kov

ho cordial co-operation aud support o
ho police court , or is ho to bo obstructs

ustico as defined in the laws and ordi
ancos ] It is hardly necessary to common

aurt with regard to the marshal's effort )
) close the gambling houses. It romaim
> bo soon now what the police court pro
osoa to do with regard to the arrest eileen
iloon keepers who refuse to take oul
cense. Wo have in Omaha a class o :
irjuor dealers who desire to obey tin
iws. Wo have another class who dolib
iboratoly defy all laws and propose t <
arry on business in this city withou
laying anything. These same salooi
non , who refuse' to take out a cit ;
iconao , don't dare to defy the feclern
lovornmont without a United State
iconso because the federal officials di
lot trHlo with lawbreakers. Is it fai
> r reasonable that one class of dealoi
hall pay § 1,000 a year , while anotho
lass go scot free. Our ordinances ar
ertaiuly lenient enough. They olio ?
iquor dealers to pay their license ii
uartorly installments. If a liquor deale
\nnot raise enough money to pay , hi
liuuld bu compelled to quit the business
Io should not bo allowed to competi

publican ticket thus far freely , butadm
now with equal freedom that wo hai

what the republican party can best po

than to remain true to their ticket.

THE city of Minneapolis evidently ha

ity assessor has just completed the sum
nary of his work , which shows a tote
aluation , both real and personal , o
585,950,095 , which is an increase o
533,714,780 in two years. The incroas
n taxable property has boon chiefly ii
eal estate. If Omaha had an hones
asesament her valuation would bo , at th
ory lowost. between $25,000,000 am
530,000,000 , instead of § 12,000,000 , roa

The Now York Evening Post ,
HAS finally taken ita stand on the sldo
corporate violators of the constitution !
legal , and industrial rights of the poopl
defends Governor Cleveland for his vo
of the bill to rcduco the faro on the el
vatod railroads ot Now York to five conl
This bill , it says , "was passed in the tee
of a charter which says that no such b
shall bo passed until it shall have bo <
ascertained that the elevated roads n
earning moro than a certain amount
money on the capital actually invested
thorn. " That is a very pretty phras
"In the tooth of a charter. " It ia i
pretty that wo must use it ourselves at
call the attention of the Post to the li\
that the charter Itself was "passed in tl
tooth" of a constitution which explicit
reserves to the legislature of the ata
state the right to "alter" or "repeal" at
charter granted by any preceding legisl
turo. The language of thn constitutic
of Now York state is as follows :
Anr. VIII , , Sue. 1. Corporations may I
formed under gonornl lawn , but shall not 1
created by special not , except for munlclp
purposes , and tn cases whore , In the judgmoi
ot the legislature , the objects of the corpor
tion cannot bo attained under general laws.
That is clear enough. It is the st
promo , organic , constitutional law of tl :
state of Now York , unchangeable oxcor.
by direct vote of the people amondln
the constitution that the legislature ma
alter or amend the charter of any corpoi
ation , whether it may have boon a specie
charter or a charter conferred by n gou
oral law. It ) was under this supreme
unquestionable authority that the legii
laturo passed the law to reduce the rat
of faro on the elevated roads of No
York city. lUvas "in the teeth" of thn
authority that Gov. Cleveland vetoed th
bill on the ground that the legislature ha
no right to do what it was explicitly em
powered by the constitution to do. It i
"in the tooth" of the constitution thn
the Post declares that the governor wn
right.
It was the patriotic purpose of the framers
mors of the Now York constitution o
1810 to make it possible for and legislature
turo to bind the people hand and foot b ;
the grant of a charter that could never b
iltorod. It is the purpose of The Pos
jnd Gov. Cleveland and the crow of corporate
porato corraptionists for whom the ;
ipoak and act to nuilify that wise safe

The nomination of Cleveland by the
omocnits will bring at once to the front
f American politics the supreme ques-
on whether thia country belongs to the
irporations or the corporations belong

ir local to Now York City. Almost all

vo only by virtue of the power the ex-
tance of which Gov. Cleveland denied
i his voto. The supreme court affirms
lat power ; has recently reaffirmed It in
a decision sustaining the governmental

A Canada man has invented an oloctrio
totor for railway carriages that promises
> moot "A long-felt want. " All who
ave traveled long distances in railway
images at night , have experienced the
iscomfort of the poorly lighted CHH ,
Inch , so far as the passenger is concern-
3 , might justabout as well be enshrouded
i Egyptian darkness. All this has been
overcome by the Invention of the Cat
dian referred to , which is at once cho
and may bo adapted to any ordinary r
way carriage. The motor is driven bj
pully fixed to the axle of the car it is I
tended to light. The motor itself tal
up very little room , and is placed it
neat cabinet at ono end of the car. T
difficulty hitherto of lighting railway cr
by electricity , and obtaining itho moti
power from the revolving axles of t
cars , was that when the train stopped t
light would go out , as a natural cons
qucntly when the train stops at way si
tlons the light in the carriages use up t
electric fiuid that has been made nlo
the way. The electric motor in qucsti *
has boon successfully tried in cars by t
Grand Trunk and it is intended to inti
duce it on several night expresses ru
nlng west from Montreal as soon as a
rangomcnta can bo mado.
