f No\v that the dead-lock haa been
broken , and a senator elected , the long-
Buffering tw-payera of Illinois are In
hopes that the legislature will conclude
Its business and adjourn at an early day.
KEARNEY must feel delighted over Its
now postmaster , who , according to a dis
patch to the Republican , "set 'em up for
the boys" when ho roseivod the news of
his appointment. It was a gala day for
the saloons.
MAYOH BOYD ia moro aucsessful in uo-
osrs
ctiring the appointment of poBtmaatera
than ho Is in the appointment of marabala
and street commissioners. The poatmaa-
kahe
tors do not have to bo confirmed by the
city council.
IF there la ovldenco wanting to show
that Omaha credit la as good aa gold , It
la found In the fact that $100,000 of her
funding bonds , drawing fi 70 per cent and
running twenty years , command an average
ago premium of § 1.03J.
Ix speaking oftho , appointment of Mr
Lathrop aa minister to Russia , \he \ Amer
ican takes some comfort In the fact that
an ox-confoderato haa not been sent to
the country which throw Ita whole weight
the confederacy.
MR. CLEVELAND la credited with the :
expression that It ia foolish to appoint
men to ofllco who cannot bo confirmed.
Ho will find out In the course of ovonls
that ho has already made several blunders
of thla character.
WE have boon told that the managers
of the bolt line claim that they had a
right to cross Eighteenth street. Then
why did they make the crossing on Sun
day 1 It seems to ns that six days in the
week la cnongh for a railroad to do anch
work.
TUB alleged dynamiters , Cunningham
and Burton , have been convicted of treason
oacd
son and felony , and have been sentenced
to penal servitude for life. Both prison
crs assorted their innocence , and there
are many people who wlil doubt their
guilt. If they were innocent , however
It does aeom rather strange that they
could not provo that they had no connection
100all
tion with the dynamite plot. In all
probability justice has not boon misled [ Inlet
this cue.
TUB fact that Fred. Douglas has quiet
ly purchased a pew directly in front of
that occupied by President Cleveland , , In
Dr. Sunderland'a church , has created 1 n
rlpplo of excitement among the members
of the congregation. They are said to be
"annoyed. " Wo suppose that when
they got to heaven they will bo just
a much "annoyed" there by the
pretence of colored folks. It la too bad
that a separate heaven cannot be provided
for colored people.
THE Rev. George 0. Mlln , who aspires
to bo o tragedian , upon being asked in
Cleveland If It la true that ho swearj , admitted
adIn
mitted that ho occasionally indulges In
the expreiaion "d n it. " Ho says that
tlioro era exigencies in human life when
the capacity for expression in ordinary
language ia thoroughly Inadequate to the
occasion. In other words , there are
times when even a preacher at least feels
Ukn swearing. If Rev. Mlln keeps oa ho
may make a good actor.
AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
The Now Orleans exposition , while it
moy have boon a success in the matter of
exhibition , haa proved a financial failure.
There are several reasons for this , princi
pal among which la the fact that New
Oilcans is not & soluble location for
Bnoh an exposition. It ia not central
enough to ntttaot & sufficient number cf
people from all parts of the country to
make the attendance profitable. Such
an exposition , which can not be made to
pay expenses without an enormous at
tendance , mutt bo located aa nearly aa
passible In the center of population , The
talk , therefore , of continuing the oxposl
tion another year would seem to bo very
fooliih , as some ono will have to guaran
tee the expenses , and it IB
not likely that the citizens of Now Or
leans will put up nearly $ -100,000 for
that purpose. It la to ba regretted that
Major Bnrko , the director general of the
exposition , has become financially In
volved , owing to hla connection with the
affair. During the opening of the oxposl
tlon ho becimc personally responsible for
the debts contracted by the management
to the amount of $150,000. It was ex
pected that the gate rccjlpta would provo
sufficient to cover thai , amount. In this
ho was disappointed. It TTOS
hoped , however , that some relief would
bo obtained from the congressional appro
priation of § 350.000 , but the decision of
the attorney-general declared that no
part of it conld'ho nsod in the payment
of Louisiana creditors , and they now
look to Major Bnrko for payment.
It is understood that ho has surren
dered both his and hla wire's property to
satisfy these claims. Nothing remains
of hla fortune except a tharo In the
Times Democrat , and It la to devote his
entire energy to that paper that ho re
signed his place as director-general.
Much sympathy la exproseed for Mr.
Burkr , especially ns it Is known that ho
refused the pay of $10,000 a year ns
director-general voted him by the management -
agomont , preforlng to tnko stock to the
aamo amount in the enterprise , and giv
ing such stock as n present to the Louisi
ana State Agrlculturalcollego afterward.
Ho haa given ample evidence of his pub
lic ontorprlao and liberality and of honor
as a man. Ho has done a great workfor Now
Orleans , and the wealthy men of that
city should not allow him to Icso a dollar.
Before there is any more talk of continu
ing the exposition Iho citizens of Now
Orleans should pay nvery cent cf the ex
position Indobtness for which Major
Burke became responsible. If this is not
done It will bo an everlasting disgrace up
on the honor of the Crescent City.
ADDING INSULT TO INJURY.
A very curious case has coine to light in
Omaha Involving the rights of the colored
man and thoie of hla somewhat inferior
brother , the white. It seems that when the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union gave
an entertainment in the opera home not long
ago they Bent to a certain white minister in
Omaha a complimentary ticket with reserved
seat attachment. The seat was ailuatod In
thnt part of the theatre which the manager
haa always reserved for the use of colored
people , and when the minister pesented
- hia ticket he was refused the privilege to
which he seemed entitled. The manager
informed him that he could have the best seat
possible among the white people , but could
not sit with the colored people , because such
n proceeding would be an infringement of the
rules of the house. The minister insisted
the manager firmly refused. The minister ,
very angry , left the house , but soon returned
and renewed the struggle but without suc
- cess . Some days elapsed and then the minister
isof
tor brought suit against the manager of
the opera house , claiming that under the late
amendments to the constitution a white man
ahould hav every privilege to which a negro
la entitled. Republican ,
This la a sample brick of the peculiar
repnbllcaniim which tbo paper published
by the chairman of the republican state
central committee has exhibited since the
election of Grover Cleveland. In the
first place it suppressed the complaint of
. the colored minister who was unlawfully
deprived of his lights by the opera house
manager , and now it adda Insult to in jury
by lampoomlng and ridiculing the colored
people. What cxcuso can tbo chairman
of the republican atato committee make
for anch a ttudlod but stupid attempt to
belittle the vital principles involved In
this owe ? Doea ho reflect the sentiment
of the republican party ? If equality before -
fore the law is to bo treated as a more
sham and the rights of all men , regard
less of race or color , are no longer to bo
uphold and defended by the parly , then
there la nothing left of republicanism.
But even If the cardinal principles of re
* publicanism wera not involved in this
controversy there la aomo respect duo
from a republican paper to law enacted bye
, o republican legislature and approved by
a republican governor , in consonance
with the demand of the ropublloina of
the State and nation. No democratic
paper has dared to oppose or ridicule !
that law , and the democratic party in Ne
braska would not dare to take Issue against
It. It ia eminently in accord with the
eternal fitness of things for the Repub \
lican to pursue such a course in the case
at Boyd'a opera house. It Is consistent
for once by demonstrating that its sup
port of Mr. Boyd , member cf the demo-
ioof
cratlo national committee , for mayrr of
Omaha , wai strictly non-partisan.
PAUL BOYIO.V'S joke may appear very
funny to him and other thoughtless persons -
jror
sons , but it bat proved a serious matter
to Lieut. Gardiner , of the "Garnet , " and
adW
the aontinel who was on duty on the bow )
of the vessel when Boyton paddled np
and placed his rubber bomb under it.ot
Lieut. Gardiner ia under arrest for not
otI1
taking Boyton ind his companions on
board the "Garnot" after he captured
then ) ) andtho sentinel has beonsontenced
to foity five daya imprisonment. Perhaps
tT
haps this ia not the end of the matter.
Our government may bo called upon io
tjlvo Mr. Boyton a slight dose of punish
ment , as ho haa camed two Innocent
men to suffer on account of hla foolish-
ncsi. Ho certainly had no right to do
what he did , oven It waa joke , and the
wonder is that ho and his companions
wcro not ahot before they could glvo an
explanation of their mjslcrlous conduct.
Had Boyton and his associates boon
taken on board of the "Garnot , " KB they
would have been had the lieutenant per
formed hia duly , they wonld have found
themselves In an unpleasant predicament ,
from which they might have had some
difficulty to oxtticato themselves.
A BLOW AT OORPORA.TION TAX-
DODGERS.
The Illinois senate ia getting after the
corporations which have no long success
fully evaded tazatlon. A legislative
committee hna boon at work In Chicago
at Interval for two wcoka Investigating
the methods of the Corporation tar-
dodgera. The result disclosed that the
gia companies , the atrcot railway compa
nies , and the expensive business blocks
in the heart of the city generally es
caped with a 'nominal payment , and It
wan shown that In the cato of numerous
corporations no taxes whatever
have boon paid In a number
of years. When the atockholrlera of
theao companies came before the com
mittee iholr efforts to decry the
value of their property would have been
amnuog had it not been ao contrary to
woll-kuown facia. The greater number
of witnesses failed to appear , the com
mittee not having the power to enforce
their attendance , and aa a consequence
tlio committee adjourned to Springfield ,
where wllnostoa cuuld bo compelled to respond
spend to a subpoena. A 1)111 haa eincabeon
pa-ssd by Iho asnato licensing telegraph
companies , the object of which la to
make them pay taxes. It provides that
they shall make an annual ropoit of
their grots rocelpla , of which they must
pay into the state troaauiy three per
cent. Thla ia a atop in the right direc
tion and It ia to ba hoped that other
corporations can bo reached in a similar
way , ao that they can ba compelled to
pay their share of taxation. The people
are getting tired of giving away valuable
franchlcos without receiving any compen
sation whatever for them. If the cor
porations that depend for their oxlatonco
upon franchlecs granted by the state
wonld only pay their taxes as fairly as
private property holder * the people would
not complain.
TIIE substitution of the lighter for the
heavier drinks , BS shown by the figures
of the last twenty-five year * , is a social
fact of some algnlficauca. Wo now drink
moro beer and wine and less whisky.
In I860 the population of the United
States , In round numbers , was 31,000-
000 , at which time the consumption of
spirituous liquors amounted to 80,000-
000 gallons. In 1884 , with a population
of not lesa than 55,000,030 , the consump
tion was lesa than 73,000,000 gallons.
On the other hand the consumption of
malt rqu ° ra hBB "SBn from 100,000,000
gallons in 1800 to 690,000,000 gallons
last year , and that cf native wines from
1,800,000 gallons to 17,000,000 gallons.
THE acquittal of Short , the dynamiter ,
who assaulted Phelan , Is ascribed to the
fear which the jury hod for O'Donovan
Rossa's throats to dynamite them if they
did not bring in a verdict of acquittal.
Whether this Is true cr not , it ia certain
that O'Dcnovan Roasa ia capable of
threatening anybody , and the more fact
that ho la a dynamiter and has around
him a daugeroua act of men. no doubt
had aomo Influence upon the jury.
DUKINO the month of April 59,943 Im
migrants landed in the United
States. Germany was the most numer
ously represented , there being 18,101
German Immigrants. Ireland comes
next on the list with 8,070 , and England
and Wales next with 4,681. The Immi
gration statistics for the month ending
April 30 , show that 275,408 Immlgrantj
landed in the United States during that
period. This ts a heavy decreaa3 es com
pared with the previous ton months dur
ing which 371,625 Immigrant ! arrived
here.
DUUINO the campaign the republicans
of East Mllford , Nobraaki , agreed with
the democrats that the name of the town
ahould bo changed and called after the
successful presidential candidate. When
application waa made to have the post-
office called ' Cleveland" the t'eraccrats
were informed by the department that
there was already a poatoffico of that
name In thla state. The democrats
Inrdly know what to do now. Perhaps
they will apply for the name ol
"Grover , " but wo would suggest that
Postmaster General Vilss do the hand
sorao thing for his old rival , Dr. Miller ,
the "Mlllerc-
by naming postofiioe -

LOGAN'S VICTORY.
General Logan has at last boon ro-
alcctid United States senator from 1111-
noli , after a remarkable and closely con
tested fight , It is a victory of which hem
m y neil bo proud , and to him it Js aa
great an honor as , if not greater than , an
election to the vice-presidency would
have bosn. It aflords an eximplo to the
country of what perseverance and pluck
can accomplish. The Lord helps those
who < help thomsolvot. In this initsnco
General : Logan haa been the plumed
knight of Illinois , foremost In the fray-
bold , bravo and undaunted.
The mcril effect of this v'ctory upon
the republicans of Illinois and upon the
the pirly throughout the whole country
cannot bo ever estimated. It shows that
nbl leadership can win battles without
patronage and without money. General
L"gan had no offices within his gift , and
no money to throw away. Ho wont Into
the fight In Illinois with a single purpose ,
na the recognized loader of hii party In
111 linois , and his mcnly bearing and
aylng qualities enabled hlu to carry oil
thi prize.
General Logan will now go back to the
enato as an acknowledged leader , and
Ith n fair prospect of heading the
atlcnal republican ticket in 1888.
IF the Cannd an govtrumcnt treats
ebols as leniently as they have been
reatod in the United S ates , Mr. Riol
may yet become a prominent office-holder
i the dominion. Wo wonld suggest
tat Instead of trying him for treason ,
hat ho bo at onca pardoned and placed
n charge of the Canadian Indian bureau
FROM time to tlmo there has been a
ight demand from London for confed-
rote blllp , and the American people wcro
it a loss to know of what use they could
o to anybody except aa curiosities
omo persona believed the absurd story
hat they wera being bought np In hopea
.hat eomo day they wonld bo paid. It
ould eetm , however , from a discovery
made at Castle Garden , Now York , thai
IICBQ worthless bills are being used In
orklng confidence games upon emigrants
ust us they ere nbout to leave Europe
or America. Ono of the emigrants , who
'ccoutly ' landed at Ois le Garden , hod In
is p38BCBlon a ono-hundred-dollar con-
erato bill , for which ho had been induced
) y a London money broksr , or rather a
windier who represented himself to bo a
bi rokor , to pay 420 marks in gold. This
is about the only use to which the ccn-
'odorato bills can bo put , and wo shall
foP"

P"h
have been swindled in a similar way.

A week ago the dlfTjroucea in the cab

ud I to resign baforo the crisis came. At
ho 1 latt moment' , oa you know , tlu courage
ago { to o imuiit sn'cidu filled the ministers
nnd defeat waa bought off , but tha Inter
ual situation ia morn alrtliml than

0'J peaks J in a funeral tone cf the triumph

.ho . most oileiiBivo forms of coercion , nnd
ho Irish liberals have boon repelled by
the failure to comidtr land-market ro
'orms thla year and are scornful of I he
raguo promito for the future. That
Joed Randolph Churchill will drive a
ergo portion of tlo lories ever to the
Bouio eldo everybody assumes , and ho Is
extremely cintidfut. Upon this point
and tbuchanco cf radical prctanro fore
tig Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Charles
Dllko to resign the Immediate inurest
centres , Tbo Dally News evidently ex-
iccls the wont from both contingencies
ind looks for a repetition of the cooll-
.lon which overthrow Sir Robert Peul in
1845. L
Bad as the outlook fur a ezreno Bin
: loEO acsiion , the firabodluga among the
Ibarals na to the effect cf the govorn-
uu OB t'a course upon the coming election
are far gloomier. Even the Times ad
mits thnt the decision of the cabinet
nakea Mr. Parnell king In Ulster , a ? wol
aa In the thtoo other provinces. No ox
> lanations ho promises , though they were
u hundred fold ( Tractor and moro oxpllci
than those offered yesterday , cm soften
.ho nationalist wrath toward the whig
> ranch of liberalism. The great Irisl
vote In England and Scotland will bo
j'umpod inorciloifl'y fir tlio tory candi
latea whoiover a whig is opposed to
them , with the effect to defeat many o
most prominent liberal leaders. In otlui
districts this vote will bo discreetly usec
; o aid the ultra radicals , and to widen
the gulf between them and the libarals
When it is remembered that tboro are
nearly ahundrad districts where the Irish
can tlldct the result , the poialblo cil'dct
can bo realized. To-night's Echo de
nounces the propaaed renewal of coercion
and predicts that the English radical
will bo pnctlcnlly united against it
As for England , the Parnelllto leadcrj
are jubilant over the situation , and they
talk now of nlnoty-two seats t unload ol
eighty. Much ts they like Dr Walsh
too , nud long to ace him In Cardinal Mo
Oabo'a p'aco as archbishop of Dnblin , as
politicians they do not pretend to concea
the fact that tbe lit ollhood of hla objoo
tion adds to their strength. I am roiuc-
tant to believe that the Vatican wil
yield to theEngllshprossuro.but if It does
the results will bo doubly dlseatrons. Il
will hurt Rome and the church direc ly
and deeply , and it will harm Ireland
scarcely loss by loosening tbo centre !
which the piiests now exert on the side
of order , In part by angering the people
where the priests nro wnlgs , but more by
enraglrg the prles's who are nationalists.
This ministry's management of IrUl
affairs was nevtr consplcloni for gooi
judgment , but far and away the mosl
inexcusable and foolish blunder of tbo
series Is this bullying of the pope In'o
affronting the whole Irleh Gathcllo element
ment of the world. Indeed , so sentcleei
and gratuitous does it seem , and so certain
tain is It that the Vatican will cripple it
self financially and morally with the Irlsl
not only hero , but In America am
Australia , that the peop'o will refuse t
believe that Dr. Walsh will be
until the official norra actually cornea.
