THE rovieed edition cf tbo blblo will tlTord a now field for tbo parsgraphois , EX-USITEO STATES SENATOR TJITON has been promoted to bo receiver of the Bloomlnjjton land cflloo. In this instance the oilico did not wear Iteolf out in look- lug for the man. THK Union Pacific has painted Its headquarters red. ' If that compiny would build a now depot , conimonBurato with the demands of the city , the people would paint the oiillto town red. As to the planting of democratic editors In Nebraska pontofllccs , the Herald do claroa that "tho firat condition Is fitnoaij , nnd the next , atrong unppcrt from good democrats. " So fir the editors whom the Herald has planted have posooiocc neither of thcso qualifications. Two enthusiastic republicans , who line recently boon ejected from office , cele brated Lrgan'a victory by firing a hun dred guns in Washington. They were ol courao arrested for disturbing * the peace nnd ( lumbers of the democrats , who con aider this sort of thing as offonalvo partisanship. THE Ilcrald Informs us that Mr. Neville - villo , of North PJatte , haa filed racom mcndations favoring Mr. Pritchott fox United States district attorney. This Is In accord with the sentiments of Dr. Miller , nho declared that ho had bnt ono request to make , and that was thai Mr. PrltchoU bo appointed to this office. But the question Is how to got rid of the Omaha candidate for the ofllco of Intorna' revenue collector , who la pretty strongly backed for the plac ? . It Is not llkoly that nil the ft offices will bo given to the Omahogi. WASHINGTON , May 22 , Secretary Manning haa called for Iho resignation of Major S. Wil lard Saxton , of Massachusetts , chief of a di vision of the first comptroller a office. It i stated that Mr. Saxton will refuge to resign on the ground that there are no chafes whatever over ngainatlilm , either of inefficiency or of tensive partisanship. It is understood thai lie will bo giyen until Juno 15 to comply will the secretary1 ! ) request. Major Saxton was an oflicor in the army during the war , and ia brother of General Rufus Saxton , U. S. A. [ Associated Press dispatch. How much longer is this "offensive partisinahlp" sham to continue ? Why don't the democratic spoilsmen , oomo ou in a manly way at once and say , wo want the offices , nnd wo are going to have them ? How can they turn out ouch a man as Major Ssxton nnd yet maintain that there la any such thldg as civil nor vlco reform in their political dictionary They can't servo two masters at the emni time. The Omaha of to-day is the richest produc of railway creation In this garden domain. JftraM , Had the railroads done for Omahi what they chould liavo done , nnd wha they were in duty bound to do , this city would to-day have been a place of ovc lOli.OCO people. They have In man ; ways retarded the growth of Omaha , an * what ia aurprising under the circam etnnccs la that this city has reached it present alx.j in splto of the obstacle thrown In ita way from tlmo to time by the railways. It is unnecessary to go inti details In this matter at this time , as ou people well Icuow the facts in the case Now that Om ha haa grown % to ba a city of BDino importance , and is getting to b independent of the railways , the rallwa ; managers are beginning to see the mis take that they have made. They may , in time , bo compelled , by the force of olr curaatancos , to rectify their mistakes. TUB now dress In which many of the old texts of the blblo appear in the re vised edition la not likely to moot with popular favor. "All Is vanity nnd vex atlon of spirit" has been revised Into " All la v nity and striving after wind. ' The latter partakes somewhat of a vor ; modern slang oxproislon. "The way o transgrotsoiH Is htrd" has been made to read ' 'The way of the treacherous is rag ged , " which reminds us of the ragged edge , and the conclusion Is that the toxl applies to only ono class of transgressors and not to wrongdoers in general. "Oh , that mine enemy would write a book' has been robbed cf its significant ear- caim by being revised ea follows : "Oh , that I had the indictment mine enemy has drawn. " Those are only a few ex amples of how many pet proverba have been changed. So far as we can see most of these changes have not Improved the beauty of expression or the sent ! meut , bnt on the contrary have In many instances rendered popular texts and of cayicgi nlmojt pointless. After the ru vited edition hes been rcinnod out of of curiosity we ballovo that It will bo laid aside , and that the people will stick to the eld version , with which they have becrae familiar. MANNING'S MISTAKE. ' Whatever may bo the object of moving 35,000,000of the government gold and liver from Sin Frn.rv.laco to Wmhlngton , o bo deposited clt'ner there or in Now York , It sooma that the expense incurred n the transport ktion Is wholly unwar ranted. The coin Trill load olght cars , and the government is to pay the Central Pacific tallroid $100,000 for its carriage , ) Caldca paying for the paasago of n com- inny of Midlers nnd epecial watchmen. It Is estimated that the total cost of mov ing this money will scarcely fall short ol $150,000. Tho-question naturally arises why the government should pay such an exorbitant aum to railroads which it vir-j tu lly built , and which to-day owe the government ornment millions upon millions of dollar s This Is especially the cnso with the Con1 tral Pacific , from which the government has never received oven n cant upon the interest of ita bonded Indebtedness Other nations , particularly thooo of Eu rope , tend their treasury In smaller quan titles , and In their own conveyances There scoma to bo no reason why this great amount of coin could not bo ship ped in our war vcnscla , say in aurna of a million or two at n time. This could bo done at a trifling expense , nnd the car goes could bo insured. Responsi ble insurance companioi in this country and abroad would take the risk of Insuring the money , Docs any ono p o'ond to say that the Con. tral Pacific would charge a private con cern , like the Omaha Smelting works , for Instince , 8100,000 for the use of eight cars and n locomotive ? Why should the Central Pacific consider this coin other than ordinary freight ? It does not insnto the government against any less , for the government provides its own escort and takes all risks. The railroad does not as , sumo as much responsibility in the trans fer of this coin as it does In the trans portation of a tralnlcad of sugar. The sugar might bo destroyed , and in that event the company would have to pay for It. But the gold cannot bo destroyed , and with the government escort there Is no show of its bolng stol < en , nnd even If stolen , in whole or in part , the railroad company , under the circumstances , would not ba responsible for such a result. It will ba scan that the government is virtually presenting to tho'railroad company the greater part of $100,000. Any express company would gladly have taken the contrast for lees than half that sum , nnd furnished the guards. It would seem tint Secretary Manning should have hesitated about engaging in such a transaction , Involving such a vast outlay , unless ho deliberately intended to enrich n giant monopoly like the Central Pacific. His action certainly is not in accord with the boasted reform and econ omy of the democratic administration. It is not at all unlikely that Mr. Manning has boon Influenced in this uncalled-for oxtravogranco by the Central Pacific mag nate , Leland Stanford , who is now a United States senator. It is true that Stanford Is a republican , bnt , like Jay Gould was with Erie , Mr. Stanford Is a republic in in a republican district , a democrat in a democratic district , bnt a Central Pacific man all the time. The democratic [ administration can cnt down expenses by disposing of a few old horses and carriages , and dispensing with a little superfluous carpeting for which it has received a good deal of advertising on the ground of economy , and yet at the eamo time it can deliberately put ita hand into the people's puree aud taking out a cool hnndrod thoneand dollars present sent it to the Central Pacific railway for patforminf ; n oervlco not actually worth at the most over one-fifth of that cum. This is economy trith a vengeance. RUSSIA'S CRUELTY. Ono of the saddest pages In the world's history Is that dovotcd to the annihilation of Poland from the map of Europe. The denationalizing of that once prosperous country , which contained over 12,000- 000 people , and the divieion of ita terri tory between Rusala , Pruss'a , and Aus- trii , was ono of the greatest outrages the world had over witnessed. Bnt Is ecoms that the troubles of the people of Polish bltth have not yol ended. Russia , not content -with having seized its share of the territory nnd sub dued the people therein , now proposes to persecute all Russian Poles that have dared from time to time to locate In Gcr many. In accordance with a request ol Russia all the Russian Poles are now being expelled from Germany , and are being delivered over to the Russian authorities to bo taken bock to the dc minion of the czar to ba treated more like brutes than human beings. The latest cable advices regarding this strange proceeding are certainly of a moat start ling ebaraoter. Many of the Poles jrlio are being driven out have boon Bottlers in the Qnrmany torrttoryfprm ny yean , aim nail become identified with loal interests. Moat of thorn locatet in Poaen and Silesia to oacapo' , from the intolerable despotism at home. The decree of expulsion issued by the German minister of the interior affects about thirty thousand Poles. Without ono word of warning eight thousand have already been arrested , just as If they were criminals or fugitives from justice , and have been conducted to the German frontier by Russian troops , who were permitted to enter Germany on this spe cial mission. The remaining twenty-two thousand had obtained permits of settlement mont , and they have been given a short time to settle up their allilrs , to dispose their properly at a sacrifice , and pro * pira to ba token back to Iho jurisdiction the most despotic government in the world. Russia has expelled .Jews , which waa an outrage that caused great Indlgna- ion not only in the United States but in every other country where freedom and : quallty prevailed and where human ighta sro respected. But the permitted nvftsicn of another couatry by Rueslft in order to tr'ng back conquered snbjecia timply to peroocnto nnd tyranlr.o over them , is an tmtrngo a hnndrod tltnca worte. It only shows that the relations existing between Germany and Russia are of the most Intimatn character , nnd that they propose to completely oxtin gulsh the people of the once happy Poland , If England would ask the United SUtes to collect together all the Irishmen in this country and turn them over to British war vessels to bo taken back to Ireland it would not bo any moro un reasonable than the action of Rnesla towards the Poles who have located In Germany. And yet there nro persons in this land cf freedom who wonder that nihilism exists in Russia , and who ay in pathV.3 with the Rutslan government , They scorn to forgot that nihilism is aim ply the outgrowth of such arbitrary out rages as that which in now bolng perpetrated tratod upon the Poles , with the pormls aion of Germany. Nihilism Is simply i struggle for human rights. Could nny ono now blame the persecuted Poles from becoming nihilists nnd blowing the Rus sian despots from the face of the earth The cable tolls us that nons of all this cruelty towards the Poles ban cast a call ! of despair throughout Russian Poland , And it ought to create the greatest oym patby and indignation among the frcodonv loving nations of the earth. MILITARY DRILL IN HIGH SCHOOLS. THE time is not far distant when the veterans of the war will all have passcc away , and there will bo comparatively few man acquainted with military dril and Uoticj. This certainly will not bo a desirable result in this country where the regular army consists of n morohandfu' ' of men and the safety of the nation in case of emergency is in the hands ol volunteer soldiers. The organization , therefore , of military companies , and in dependent drill organizations among our young men , is an enterprise that is to bo heartily commended. When the civil war broke out the various indcpendenl military companies in the largo cities nol only wont Into the volunteer service , but they supplied very largo numhcr cf cflicors , owing mainly to the fact that the mom- bars of the companies wore thorongly ac quainted trith military tactics and evoln tlons , and thair services as drill masters were in demand from the very start. Many of the officers of the civil war who reached a high rank owed their promo tioii to the fact that they had learned the art of war in these Independent companies. Wo are pleased to see that the subject of military drill in high schools in east ern cities is receiving considerable at tention. The drill , while not Intended to train young man for a military life , incnlcatos habits of obedience , punctual ity and precision , cultivates an erect car riage , a manly bearing , self-respect and self-reliance in emergencies. The drill gives systematic and healthful exorcise to all the mnsclea of the body , and its benefits therefore in the development of physical manhood cannot bo overesti mated. The practical advantages of military or ganlzatlcn , discipline and exercise have been demonstrated in many eastern high schools. The Channcoy Hall school , of Boston , has always had n military drill ; and the English high school in the same city and others In the immediate vicinity have military companies. No exercise Is moro healthful nnd productive of good results than military drill , and vro hope that our beard of education will consider the project of having a company organ ized among the boys of the high echoo and the higher grades. OMAHA liua passed another milestone on the highway to commercial aupremacy. The opening of the oxtoneivo beef slaughtering house In connection Yrlih the Union atosk yard ] h an event of moro than ordinary importance. It will make Omaha a great cattle market and attnc various other enterprises. The drceacd beef business ns inaugurated nt the stock yards is In tha bands of a company of ox penoncod men , who Imvo ninplo capital They propoeo to carry on the entorprlei on n very largo scale. They start with a capacity of COO head of cattle per day which will bo Increased from tlmo to tlmo aa occasion demands. Theit prices for cattle will enable stockmen to realiza moro clear money on the ! tales at the Omaha Union stockyards than they will on shipments to Chicago. iJj selling in Umaha COO miles of travel ii saved , and this of coursa avoids a heavy shrinkage and liability to accident. Thb , io an Important item to bu cunaiJered b > western cattle men. They tie doubt wll soon see the advantage of Omaha ai i cittlo market. Without beef daughter tog houses and pork-packing houna our stockyards would hardly bo more than feeding place , but now that we have these establishments wo feel safe In say Ing that Omaha will soon rank as ono ol the leading live-stock markets. A great deal of money has been invested in South Omaha to bring about this result , and now that active operations have begun we ni y expect to see a boom in that to direction which will reward the capitalists aud other enterprising men who have nutted with them in this undertaking.
