THERE In ono thing to bo oaid in favor of Mr. Lothrop , the now minister to Russia. IIo did not seek the offico. THE great problem with the democrats of the Illinois legislature ia how to keep Mr. Loepor out. They are staying up nights in order to hat : h up some plausi ble shomc. WUKN a republican postnmitor la to bo dlamltsad from office ho is summarily suspended for causo. The departments at Washington have been organized into a vigllanco committee. They first sus pend a man by the neck , and then try him afterwards. THE gitllng gun of Gnn. Mlddloton's army la operated by an agent of the Con- nosticat nunufactarora. Ho la reported to have very effectively worked the gun so far. The idea of sending out a gunner with each galling is certainly worthy of the shrewd Yankees of the Nutmeg etato. THE long and blttor contest between Governor Sherman and Auditor Brown , of Iowa , has at lastbion decided in favor ot the governor by the supreme court. The action of the governor in suspending the auditor ia declared to have been In accordance with the law , which Is decided to bo constitutional. ACCOKDINO to Prof. Rlley , entomolo gist of the agricultural department , this country Ia soon to bo visited by trro great broods of locusts , of the seventeen and thirteen-year varieties. With Iccujts , cholera , aud a democratic administration the country ia liable to bo considerably disfigured before snow flies again. TUB police In arresting the head of the old Canada Bill gang of three-card monte men and confidence operators have taken : i stop in the right direction. Now lot them follow it up by arresting over ; member of the gang. They nro not wanted in Omaha , and must bo made to move on , A LIVELY war is being made upon United States Marshal Couzlua , of St. Louis. Of conrso ha la charged frith of. fonslvo partianshtp , and the longer he holds on to the oflioo the moro offensive ho becomes. However , if there ia anj gallantry in the composition of Grovoi Cleveland the pleadings of the fall Phooho may not be In vain. SECKETAUY BAYAKU considers th ( Glasgow coniultklp vacant. The clargi of "oflonolvo partisanship" has boon made against Bret Harto on account of some thing ho eald or did during the last cam paign , but whatever it was wo cannot see how It could In any way affect Mr. Cleveland - land or the democratic party. But the democrats think that Mr. Uarto has played the innocent abroad long enough. THE Chicago iboard of trade having barred the Wcatorn Union out of Ita new building booaueo it aapplted the bucket flhopa with quotations , the Western I' ' Union now proposes to give preference ; , to St. Lonla reports. The only trouble about thla ii that the patrons of the Western Union will insist on having Chicago cage roporta because Chlc&co la the trade center. The Western Union might as well propose to farnlah to iho baukera the Baltimore money market .Instead of that of Now York. UWDKII Ike act of congreei pustad February ruary 14 , ftfty-teven non-comniUalonod ollioara aud privates havj been placed upon tit ? retired men's lltt. Th.'a Jaw provides for the retirement of men who have served thirty pears continuonily lethe the army. They ate to receive 75 per cent , of the aggregate pay , clothing , and ration allowance. Thli is an excellent law , as it holds out some inducement to the private soldier , and wUl no doubt have a beneficial effect upon tiu > oonduci generally of the army. There li roacon to believe that It will greatly reduce tbo puinber of desertion * . BUSINESS. The general movement in trade circles throughout the country during the post week is rcportad fair in the aggregate. There hcs boon a slightly Increased ollvlty in some lines of wholesale trade. The export of refined sugars has boon alto heavy , the advance in foreign markets lending lo slightly stiffen prices. The unsettled condition of the markets IM somewhat crippled the export of ; raln. The cotton market haa been ather sluggish , although prices have generally welt maintained , According o the Philadelphia Record "many of the rgost corporation cotton goods mills of Now England and the south have boon operated it an actual loss during the patt year , and very few have been able to earn moro than running oxpjnsos. The wool [ and woolen goods trade has bocn nero active iiiaomo departments , There lias been a lar o movement In carpet wools , attributable lo the resumption of work by the mills after the prolonged abor strike. Some descriptions of car pet yarns have advanced throe to five cents per pound from the lowoet rates of .ho . season , and foreign carpet wools nro one-half 'cent higher than L fortnight ago. Desirable styles of prlng woolens have boon cloaoly sold up , and buyers in some cues have boon un able lo duplicate the small orders placed : arly in the Reason. The same class of 'abrics in fall and winter-wcighta has had argo sales In small lots , ind leading mills liavo booked orders that will absorb 'rom throo-fourths to thn total of the season's production. There are plenty of mills loan favorably situated , and oods that have accumulated in the hands of mamifaclnrara' agouts are about as low of sale as ever ; but the situation as a whole is much moro encouraging than it was a few weeks ago. Throughout the coason manufacturers have boon confining production as closely as possible to actual orders , and the pursuance of this policy haa kept the market measurably free from surplus atosks.QiPrlcca show no Im provement , either on the raw material or manufactured goods , but there is moro confidence- ruling rates. There has been a moro active demand for anthracite coal from eastern and southern markets , where stocks have run low , but the local market is exceedingly dull. Stocks , however - over , are light , and the partial restriction of running will prevent accumulations in excess of demand. The iron trade , as a general thing , continues quiet. " The prices of grain have been affected moro or loss by the disappearance of the European war cloud. The unfavorable crop reports , however , tend to maintain the prices. Most of those reports rep resent the winter wheat crop in very un promising condition , and state that thous ands of acres In various parts ofthe country have been plowed up and sowed to oats and othnr coreah. Although future conditions may considerably im prove the prospect , it is generally con ceded that the crop in many Eccticns IE Irreparably damaged , and a largo do- croaao in the yield for the whole conn try seems Inevitable. The foreign de mand for wheat continues light aud un satisfactory. The large supply wlthlc easy roach of European buyers offsata the effect of small stocks in the United King dom , and makes exporters very indiffer ent about anticipating the consumptive demand. Last week's failures In the United States and Canada number 218 , as agalnal 208thc previous week and 240 the week before. Failures are unusually heavy ic the Southern and Pacific states , but ir other sections , particularly In tlia west , they arc below the average. NEBRA-BKA'S CLAIM BROKERS. For Bovernl days , P. O. Hawes , of Omaha attorney for the etate , has bean pushing thi state' * claim against the government for expenses ponses Incurred in repelling hostile Indiani while the troops were lighting the confederacy between April , 1851 , and Juno , 18S2. Senate : Van Wyck rendered his assistance and to da ] the secretaries of war and the treasury prac tically certified to 82C.OOO and the state wil receive that amount in due time. It ha ; been successfully managed and Ilawca act Van Wyck deserve much credit , A portioi ol the claim known OB the Pearman vouchers 83,000 , will probably ho thrown out. [ ll'aj/i ington Letter in the Onala Herald. How much longer will the state au thorities play Into the hands of Interlopers lepers who want to act as stats chin brokers ? Why could not our represent atlvea In congress atlond to the claims o the stall against the national govern ment ? It la evident on tbo face of thii report that Senator Van Wyck could hav < ( successfully prosecuted this claim with out the assistance of Pat Hawes , but Pa Hawes or any other claim agent ooulc not have secured It without the aid ol Senator Van Wyck. Mr. Hawes knovt as well as wo do that the legislature ol 1883 abolished all ngenolea that had been previously established , and the ast legislature emphasized the act by refusing to allow the claims of Messrs. Kennard and Hawes. The small amount voted to Mr. Hawos was purely a matter of sympathy , but the state la not a char ily Institution nor a pension bureau , We have three members of congress and two cuators at Washington to attend to the business of this state , and If they are not ompotent to do It wo bettor elect Tom Kcnnard and Pat. 0. Hawes to congress. So far , the collection of war and Indian ilatms from the govornnunt has been of cry little benefit to the state. No sooner does the money get into the treat ury than a whole horde of veteran claim' anta besiege the legislature wlifc all sorts of trumpsd up claimi , and the legvlaturo blandly accommodates them by rating i\way every dollar that has been recov ered from the government. The woivt of It ( a that tbo claim brokers and bogus claim agents make up a corrupt lobby which forms a nucleus for the jobbers , trader * , and cormorant * who hang around .ho legislature at every session and exert nch a demantlltlng influence upcn the members that they utterly fill lo glvo us ny wholesome legislation. The DEE is kicking fmrfully bec n o Gen 'Hz Hugh Lioo WM appointed M ono of the Isitors to West Point , and consumes nearly n column of twaddle about the lack of loyalty if the administration. As ono ot the union lavers wo fall to gee anything wrong In the tppointmont. If A rebel general could rcpro icnt our government abroad nnder Grant , without a protest from the republican proas , we fail to see why Leo should not visit n tnlll Ury post In this country without euch criti ctstn. llosoy is gottin ? to bo a crank , Flnttstnouth Journal , The cranks that bollevo with us that the appointment of Fitz Hugh Lee os an honorary visitor to the West Point mili tary academy is an insult to the army , and an incentive to disloyalty , are very numoroua. They comprise , wo believe , not only the rank and file of the repub lican patty , but thousands of democrats who carried a musket In doloneo of the union. There is quite a difference be tween a robot general representing this country abroad and a rebel who repre senting the government at its military academy , in which ho was educated at the nation's expcnto. The academy is the training school of the nitlon'a do- fendorn , and every man roared in it Is consecrated to the service of his country and the supremacy of the flig whether endangered by domestic tnrbulenco or foreign invasion. Gen. Giant's appoint ments of Mosby and Longatrcot did not by any means meet the approval of the republican press. They were resented and denounced by many "republican jour nals , and no paper was moro outspoken on that leauo than the BEB. Wo have lots ropcct for the con verted republican confederate for revenue only than wo have for an unreconstructed rebel llko Bob Toomba or Jeff D-ivls. President Cleveland has not perhaps realized that Fitz Hugh Lee is an Im proper person to bo saluted by the West Point cadets , and feted by tbo commander of the military academy. As Commander- in-chief of the army and navy of the United States , the president should bo the last ono to establish a precedent that' places loyalty and treason upon the same piano. J. AITLETON WILSON , who sued the Chicago Tribune for § 100,000 damages , for libel in having published a statement that ho had been indicted for murder , has concluded to accept the verdict of $250 as a vindication , and ho has accord ingly withdrawn his motion for a now trial. This casa is of peculiar Interest to the public , among whom there are BO many persons who are always ready at the slightest provocation to sue for libel , not so much to vindicate their character as In the hope of ob'alning ' a largo sum of monpy. They are not satisfied with a full retraction and apology in case a mistake haa been mado. Nothing but money will heal the wound , but as a rule libel suits are anything but profitable to those who prosecute them for money. In the case of Mr. Wilson , the Chicago Tribune maintains that his verdict docs not vindi cate him a whit moro than ho wan vindi cated on the morning after the original statement was made , when an ample local and editorial explanation of the statement and an expression of disbelief in Us truth , and an explicit disavowal of any intention to injure Mr. Wilson were made in the columns of that paper. Not satisfied with those , Mr. Wilson took his cafio Into the courts with the result already stated. The moral of tha story is thus stated by the Tribune : Juries are not likely to give exemplary or anything more than nominal damages against a newspaper which unwittingly issueo Incor rect statements about any pernon , particularly when n satisfactory amendt honorable is made aud it Is ehonn that it entertained no malice against that person and had no disposition to injure htm. Tha course of The Tribune injtho promises ia vindicated , and in this direction it has established a precedent of great value to the newspaper prsss in general which will not only indicate the courao for it to take in future , hut will act as a deterrent to Bailers who may not bo satisfied with a thorough dis claimer of malicious purpose and an nmpla apology. In the rush and competition of gathering and printing news any paper is liable to be imposed upon and makn an occa sional mlitake and where , the error is promptly acknowledged and all hostile Intent disavowed andontlreabsenceof malice proven , successful prosecution would be hardly less than persecution , And this was the view taken by the jury in the Wilson caso. THE now commissioner of agriculture has made himself solid with the dairy men of the country. He proposes to open up awar on tbo manufacturers of bogus butter during the next cession of congress , when ho will urge the propri ety of such law-making as will put a stop to butter frauds. WE have boon waiting patiently for some time for a definition of " offensive partisanship. " The New York Tribune says that It means any republican post master whoso removal will help the election of a democrat to the United States senate , and consequently to any other office. OMAHA cannot afford to stand still in the matter of public improvements , and particularly In regard to pavements. The grading In the central part of the ity should bo continued BO that all Im provements hereafter shall bo made at , he established and permanent grade. ALL sorts of reasons are offered by ap- illcants for foreign appointments why they want to go to some particular place , but very law , If any , have the manhood to aay that the salary is tha principal ob ject , no matter where they go. TUB city council should make all the preliminary arrangement ! for going ahead promptly with the public improve ments or tbo 1st of Jnly when the fund * bocorno available. Now Is the time to got everything In proper shape. WHY can't people make up their own minds as to what they want in the way of material for pavements ? Why do they first petition for ono material and then for another , thus confusing the board of public works , and leaving the matter In an unsettled condition ! KURD I A nml the United Stntes. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Russia has always boon the friend , well-wisher and helper of this country , and has stood by us loyally in thnoa of peril. England , on the other hand , and speaking of its ruling o'asscs , has , until recent years , only treated us with opener or covert enmity or lofty contempt ; anJ , In view of the facts of oven recent his tory , England could hardly reproach ua If , In the coming contest , the pocplo of thiscountry should side ogaiust It and with the foe. It is not generally known , probably , how trno aud loyal and unselfish a friend Russia was to us In the melancholy days of our civil war. England's treatment of ua stira up bitter recollections oven now ; her g'oatcst and best men would have been glad to behold thla nation's overthrow , and did no llttlo to encompass it. Per haps Russia did not prevent that catas trophe. Bat if she did not , she at least prevented a combination against tills gov ernment lhat would have added foreign war lo our civil strife , and moreover she stood ready to fight ia our benalf with out expectation of toward. AIox < mdor II. and Gorrschskoff were upon the side of the United States government from the beginning. "I was very much im pressed with the real friendship felt by the Russian government for the United States , " says Simon Cameron , who succeeded Casslus M. Clay as min ister to Russia In the winter of 1801-2. t was a friendship steadily maintained through our darkest hours and in the face of groit European pressure. " "Rus sia alone has stood by you from the first and will continue to stand by yon , " eald Qortscbakoff in October , 1802 ; "wo de- elro above all things the maintenance of the American Union as ono Indivisible nation. The next month Napoleon III made his proposition that Franco , En gland and Russia Interfere to arbitrate a peace In this countrybut ; while England wavered , Russia promptly declined. Then when It was feared that England or Franco would recognize the Confederacy , Gortschakoff said , "Toll Mr. Seward that the policy of Russia in regard to the United States Is fixed , and will not bo changed by the course adopted by. nny other nations. " Those wore gloomy days Indeed. There was a general fear , amounting almost to conviction , that some action of Franco or England would involve us in a foreign war , and Simon Cameron is responsible for the declaration that Russia was ae- crotly pledged to take sides with ua in that case ; that this was the real object of the ostensibly friendly visit of a Russian fleet to the United States in the winter of 18G3-4 , and that the purchase of Alaska a low years later was in reality prompted by Mr. Seward's dcslro to show llussla our gratitude. Russia was pirtly guided , no doubt , by memories of the Crimea. Then as now the Russians regarded England with implacable hostility ; bur. the motive , DO far as it was the real ono , only brings into stronger relief the hateful part which England played in that Bad drama ; and it would bo unjust to say that Rus sia was not as well governed by a warm friendship for this nation. Russia has Indeed always shown It. As far back as the beginning of the century Oathrlno sided with the United States when Eng land was proclaiming her hateful doc trine of the right of search of our shipping. And Alexander was partic ularly interested In us because ho was then engaged in his heroic strug gle with his nobles for the liberation of the Russian serfs , and clearly eaw that our own bloodier warfare must have a like Issue. Yet , though we owe Russia much and England nothing , our sympathies are with England in this conflict , because in spite of her faults England represents civilization and llussla barbarism ; be cause we can not , If England can , forget our ties of blood and language ; because Russian ascendency in India would be to turn that country backward ; because Russia Is the aggressor and In tbo wrong , and England anxious for peace and in 'ho right. TIio GtiHtcr County C.-Utlo Barons , Button Register , Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. The cattlemen who have grown rich off the free pastures of the west , were not content to occupy such portions of the public domain as were not in Immediate demand by actual settlers , but sought by bulldoalng and shooting settlers , and fencing in ot largo tracts of land , to exclude the homo seeker from the privilege of building a homo on tbo land reserved for him. The arrogance of these people caused congress to pass a law at the last session onthorlzlng the employment of the military to forcibly tear down and remove tbo fences so unlawfully constructed. Sen ator Van Wyok was active in securingtho passage of this law , and ho has recently called upon the president to order out the military to destroy the fences. It Is to bo hoped that this will be done. The recent murder of a homesteader in Cus- * tor county , shows the necessity for prompt and summary action. This Is the aamo rnncho onoo occupied by the notorious O'lvo ' , who committed the most shocking murders in the criminal annals of tbo state , and who , through a limp hiatus in Ihe law , escaped punishment. It la high time that the settlers In Caster county and other portions of the west were protected from these outlaws , and that the government enforce its law against the unlawful occupancy of the public domain.
