THE Omaha //orate has a "Special"

IN a recant lawsuit In Now York 0. P.
Huntlngten , ef Central Pacific fame ,
testified that ho would rather be com
pelled to taw wood than write. The exposure
posuro of hla correspondence , which cave
him such notorKsty as a letter writer ,
probably led him to that conclusion.
TJJE Chicago Herald eaya that with the
exception of Evarts the United States
Bonato has not gained much by the recent
elections , and that it will remain the saino
bulwark of the lobby , the land grabber ,
the jobber , the subsidy seeker , the claim
agent , and the railroads that it has been.

men who were independent
voters in 1881 , " says the Boston Herald ,
"will be independent voters in 1888 , and
the number will bo increased. There is
only ono way for the republican party to

nearer to their convictions of what is
politically right thah their opponent te.
The democrats can only expect their con
tinued assist Mice on tlioaamc terms. "
TnAT two-cent postage is exceedingly
popular is conclusively thown by Iho
largo docrorso In the issue of the postal
cards. During Iho six months endingjDo-
cocmbcr JH , 1884 , the number of cards
issued was 108,315,250 , while for the
como period of the preceding year the
amount waj 100,611,000 , a falling ctf of
20,325,750. This enormous gap was fill
ed by an increased lasuo cf two cent
stamps , a fact that furnishes a strong ar
gument in favor of cheap letter pontage.
THE Chicago Herald pays the follow
ing lolt-handed compliment to Mr. Teller
'elm
ler , the nowly-olected United States sen
ator from Colorado :
Secretary Teller , who will succeed Mr.
Hill , haa been a senator before , though
his chief claim to public distinction has
been gained during his term in Mr. Ar-

Important matter , BO that at future pres
( idential < elections all possibility of trouble
idwl
will bo prevented. Wo cannot afford to
leave the door open for a quarrel that
lotml
might Invdlvo the whole csuntry In civil
war end bloodshed. The senate bill ,
originally ! Introduced by Senator Ed-
munds , .provides . , among ether things ,
that each ntnto may establishOM
tribunals for the trial of electoral contests
and that their decision shall bo final ;
that 11 there bo any dispute aa to the Jaw-
lalncss of Iho state tribunal , or If there
iabe
be double returns from a state which has
not provided such atrlbunal , only those
returns shall bo counted which the two
he , acting * separately , shall concur in
ro , and that any single return
shall bo counted unless rejected by both.
Uho honso has not concurred in this
measure and is not likely to.
The hoino bill introduced by Eaton ,
provides that in c so of a dispute over the
electoral froturn of a state the question
shall bo determined in joint convention
of tbo house by n majority vote. As the
ofhe
house votes by states In choosing a presl-
hedc
dent when there is no election by the
people , and as the senate has no voice . In
auch election , this propoaod compromise
oflors a way of nettint ; out of the diffi
culty. But it is not likely that
the sanato will consent to go Into
joint convention and vote with
the houao In a disputed election
tlfc
for president , as the senators would bo
fcRi
greatly outnumbered. It Is not likely ,
Ritl
therefore , that the two houses cf congress
will como to any agreement , and consequently
quently the country will bo left exposed

the ! contest of 1870 , without oven the
safeguards of an eloctcr.il commission ,
sif
for it is not probable that , should the
same clraumstancas arlsa , another such
commission would be agreed upon to

sottla the difficulty. The conclusion
SISI
seems to ba that no election bill will be
passed until both houses of eongroas aio

Oklahoma , about which BO much fuss
la being made , haa no geographical recog
nition upon the maps of the United
Statoa. Aa Iccjtod by the Into Captain
Payne it ia an irregular shaped territory
south of the Red Fork of the Arkansa ? ,
bounded on the south by the Canadian
river , and on the east by the Pottawatta-
tniea and the Sao nnd For agcnciea ,
w hllo the western boundary extends to
the Wichltaa , Cheyenne end Arropahoo
reservations. In a map of the Indian ter
ritory published a few yeara sgD by the
the Oklahoma association , it embraced
all the woatern portion of the Indian territory

Arrapahoo rc3crvationsbasing their claim
imt
on tha statement of Colonel Boudinot ,
who showed that by the tioitioa of 183C ,
the United States purchased from the Indian
liut
an ir.bea , in the Indian territory , about
fourteen million ncrca of land. These '
landa were bought from the Crooka , Sem-
Inolea , Ohoolaiva and Chickajaws ; the
Ohorokeea selling no lands by the treaty
of 1800j hence they utill hold what is
known aa the Chorckoo atrip or
"outlet , " extending to the ono hun
dredth meridian , lying between the Kan
sas border and Oklahoma , and which is
about ninety miles wide. By the vari
ous treaties the Indians csded to the
United Statoa these liuda , mostly
embraced in the to-called Oklahoma
torrltoiy , "to locate other 'Ind ana
and frcodmon thereon. " A portion
tion of those 14,000,000 acres has
i not been appropriated for the use of
ether Indians , bills having boon passed
I by congress prohibiting the removal of
the Sioux or any Indians from Arizona
or Now Mexico Into tha Indian territory ,
as the people of the bordering states ob-
jeetod tu the centralization of BO many
tribes. It VM contended by Payne , and
still maintained by his folio wen , that
under thoio laws
several million acres
were left free from the Indian title or oc
cupancy , and subject to entry like other
public lands.
Two little boys who stood on B Tennes

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The event of the weokls | the victory of a
detachment of the British army , under
the command of General Stewart , over a
largo body of Mahdl's followers In Bou-
dan. The details of the engagement en-
bled from Soudan , indicate a very fierce
and bloody struggle In which the Arab
rebels wera terribly worsted after a desperate -
porato hand-to.hand encounter. The
British loss was quite severe , inclnding
among the killed Col. Burnaby and eight
otherjofficora , ranking from lieutenant to
otlmi
major. According to British accounts
the Arabs outnumbered General Stew
art's forces six to ono , but that is hardly
tobobolloved. Gen.Lord Wolsoloywho ia
commander of the entire British forces
in Egypt , commends General Stewart
very highly , and declares that the nation
has every reason to bo proud of the gal
lantry end splendid spirits of her ma
jesty's ! soldiers on this occasion. The
death of Colonel Burnaby Is almost moro
talked about in London than the battle
itself. It ia now feared that the advance
on Khartoum will require moro hard
fighting. The Mahdl , however , is said
to regard this battle as drawn , and liter
adviccslndicate that General Stewart has ,
been compelled to Intrench himself in the
desert ( , owing ta the superior numbers of
the enemy.
tliE The renewal of hostilities in upper ,
Egypt has given riao to much speculation
InT the capitals ot continental Europe. )
The prevailing impression is that the ex
pedition ' will lead to an English
protectorate over Ejjypt , since
England could hardly withdraw
from tha country after such expensive
campaigns. Serious complications r.re
foreshadowed which may load to a
rupture between England and other
great powers. The Cologne Gazelle , in
a loading editorial on the relations of
England and Europe , says : "The chief
question is whether England or Europe
shall give way , or whether they shall
compromise their opposing claims. Wo
are convinced England will yield , if the
verdict of Europe ia given nlth the
necessary emphasis. " The writer pro-
diets the decadence of English power.
"Only let us show our teeth , " the article
continues , ' and England will surprise
the world with her cowardice. "
The Turkish proposals concerning
Egypt and iho policy to be pursued has
cioiUd cocs dcrablo discussion , and an
Enpl ah cibiact coancil Ins boon held to
consider tham. The priposah summsi1-
izod are .is follow : That Turkey egraea
to roooguizo the Egyptian lonn guaran
teed b/ England ; tiiat part of the expenses -
ponses of iho Enplish expedition shall be
defrayed by tno Egyptian treasury ; that
English occupation shall continue at
lout eight months , and sha1 ! not excoad
two years ; that the tnltan will recognize
tha naiivo tiibanals of Egypt ; Uiit .Tur
key shall occupy cerlam ports on the Red
s a , and that the right of Egypt to con
clude treaties of commerce shall bo mod-
ilied.
ilied.The
The Pall Mall Gazette publishes , un
der reoorvd , what purports to bo the text
of the agreement between Eoglaud and >
Turkey regarding the government of
Egypt. The paper says that the agreement -
ment provides tfcat Turkish troops aboil
occupy Egypt , with the exception of the
porta of Alexandria , Damiotta , Port
Said and Suez , which England will consi
tinue to occupy ; that Turkey shall under01
take to maintain order in the Interior af
ter the capture of Khnrtoum ; that Eng.
;
land shall retain garrisons on the Red
Sea littoral , and abandon the Soudan toe
Turkey , and that Towfik Pasha , the kheel
rlivo of Egypt , shall be deposed , the sul
tan of Tarkoy to appoint in his sttai 1ly
pasha who doe * not belong to the family

The understanding between France and
Germany for co-operation against Kmja
land continues to ba the leading fact Kin
tbo diplomatic tituation. It undoubtedly
ia the work of Prlnco Bumsrck , who aoa
compllshes a double purpose in maintain-
ing ft. It makes the military situation
on thocontincnt ranchloiajstrafnod thanlt I
was. A Franco largely engaged lnbuild- ,
ing up H , .colonial empire In Aaia 'and
Afrlci , ana in fighting the people Who as
at preaent in Cambodia and formerly in
Tonquin do not appreciate duly , the
benefits of annotation , ia nnt likely to
take up the policy of Revanche at'homo ,
There ia less anxiety about the Rhine for-
treaaes , since France is busied with those
on the coast of China. And Bismarck
gota the farther advantage of keeping
England too much occupied to Interfere
actively in his projects of conquest and
colonization. Instead of ono power , she
has two on her hands , when any ques
tion arises as to the limits of her emp'ra.
Wa believe , hoirever , llntifl the long
run England will got the bettor of them
both. Should a great YK break out
all thesj new colonies and settlements
would ran a good chance of coming under
tbo British n gs s promptly as ail the
European colonies in Asia during tbo
wars with Napo'oin. Everything would
depend upon comparative naval cfliolen- ;
cy , and we have no Atsaranca that the
great fleets of Franco and IGirmany
would bo able to resist that of Great
Britain. The habit of nival sarvice ia In
tha English blood. It ( e to foroiga to
France that even In the war with Germany -

Gornnn coloni/vxtion Is making rapid
progress on the western coast of Africa.
An official rpott vni received to-day ,
ntatiiu ; that the Qormnn expedition had
formally anuoxed Oglot Brahlm , In the
Dobtndd country , a few miles north of
Scncgambia. Tic action h undcrstod
to htvo boon taken In pursuance
of on agreement with Franca ,
whish country has hitherto
claimed a protustoralc over this re
gion. A report of a moro sensational
character co-mes from Sierra Leone , to
the otloct that ( ho Gorman flag has boon
hoisted In the Interior of that country ,
which his long been hold by England.
This news , if confirmed , may load to
serious complications with England , as
she will probably bo indisposed to give
up any portion of the fertile colony of
Sierra Leone , or allow Germans an outlet -
lot to the sea through her coast posses
sions.
The recent action of Iho Gorman gov
ernment In taking possession of the
northeast coast of New Guinea and the
adjacent islands is not regarded with fa
vor by Australia. The colonists complain
that the homo government haa not prop
erly protected tholr Interests. The
islands taken possession of by Germany
are valuable In themselves , and moro im
portant to Auntralia from the USD that
can bo made of them. In the hands of a
European nation they can bo made a
penal settlement , or lu case of war
they may bo made a base
of operations against Australia.
The colonists have not been lacking in
foiojfght in this matter , but have boon
unable to impress the British government
with n sense of the danger they appre
hended , Some two years ago Queensland
made an attempt lo do a little colonizing
on Its own account. Accordingly
it took formal stops to ap
propriate all of Now Guinea not
then hold by the Dutch. The English
government promptly informed the am
bitious colony that when It wanted to as
sume the rcsponslbilty of taking posses
slon of now territory , it Know the mode
of proceoduro , and would act on its own
account. The colonists excused their
action on the ground that If England did
neb take possession of Now Guinea , Ger
many would. The English foreign min
ister then Informed the colonists that ,
though a company had been formed to
colonize Now Guinea , the German govern
ment would not in any way nupport * ho
movement. The colonists were not con
vinced , but the foreign minister spoke as
ono having authority. It now appears
that the colonists were right. Germany
nas taken possession of the part of the
island Queensland would have occnped
If backed by the mother country.
This Is one of the many questions which
are constantly arising to convince Aus-
tralia and other British colonies in the
Pacific that their interests cannot bo prop
erly cared for by tbo homo government.
England haa her hands full at homo and
in Africa. To Australia the idea of
having a penal colony established In on
adjacent Island Is extremely objection
able. The colony has suffered enough in
repute by the existence of a penal colony
at Now Caledonia , withpjat submitting tea
a new association of idem of'that ' nature.
Austria if taking very radical slops
towards the suppression of socialism and
nihilism. An anti-socialism bill has been
introduced in Iho reichstag , which far
exceeds the German sntl-aocialist
measure In the severity of ita provisions.
Jt forbids Ilia formation of clubs ; pro
vides for government control of charita
ble societies in order to" prevent the
covering up of socialist plots ; em
powers the authorities to for
bid any public meeting and
confiscate socialist pamphlets , IT 1other :
printed in Austria or abroad , and niakea
inkeepors , librariansetc. , liable to pun-
iehmeut if such pamphlets shall bo found
in t hair possession. The list clause of
the bill provides that persons accused of
socialistic offenses shall ba tried wilhont
jury. The act , if adopted , will remain In
force five yeava. The explosive bill , a'.ao '
Introduced to-day , allows punishment by
death where the culprits could foresee
the fatal effects of their deeds , and im
prisonment for from five years to llfo for
various ofl'dueer , such as selling or using
explosives without authority. The bill
provides that offenders shall 1)3 tried by

A Japanese garrison of 1,600 toldiei'J at

The statement made by Julns Ferry ina
the French chamber respecting opera
tions In China ohows that a determined
effjrt ia to be made to accomplish some-
thlng decisive. The fact aocms to o30
dawning on the French government ,
which has boon quito clear to the balance
of the world for aomo months , that so far ,
the ] progress of Ita anna on the China
coasts has not boon either brilliant or aub-
stantial , For some reason or other the
"vJetorloa" announced have not yielded
very Important results and Chinese pride
and Chinese power remain qnlto unsub -
dued. The French prime minister now
announces that his government will "Im-
mod lately increase Us onorgiea in Ton.
dquiu" and will not atop until it has occu-
'
plod'tho entire country up to the frontier
of the Ohlnoao empire. All thia is to be
done without in any way Interfering th
French military strength at homo or the
mobilizatlpn of theFrenoh&rmy. If woaro
not mistaken , an announcement of the
orproposed conquest of Tonqain was made
over two months ago , and nothing impor -
iaut i has boon heard of itsinco. That rh9
French ] are quite able to do the work
with anything like a reasonable force is
quico probable , but the dlfiinltloi in herat
way are much greater than was at first
assupposed. . It now appears that the re-
slgnatlon of the minister of war grew out '
of the Tonquin buelaesj , Gen. Campenon
holding j that it was an unprofitable
lea
undertaking and would require a
force of 20,000 nen to aosoaaplls auo-
