JACK NUOENT will bo gratified ti learn that the Buckingham theatre ha puttied into bolter hinds , and that thi perforrrmncea hereafter will bs of n raon elevating character. The place has boot loated by the W. 0. T. U. The worl contemplated by this organization is i commendable one , and should recolvi the hoarly support and cnconragomcnt o our cltlzona. THERE is such a thing as being a litlli too pravlons In political predictions Mr. Samuel J. Randall predicts the reelection - election of Grover Cleveland , while i number of republican papers and pollli clans conG'Jently maintain that Logu will bo nominated and elected to thi presidency in 1888. The early bird ma ] catch the worm , but it la not always tin early boom that captures the presldontla chair. THE whistle nnis-mco in this city ha become almost intolerable. The smallo the concern the bigger the whlstlo acorn to bo the rule. There is no reesDnvhj a dozen or moro whistles , in the vor ; hosrt of the city , should bo allowed ti blow for several minutes at morning noon and night. It is simply distracting and people are beginning to bollovo tha It ii only done for mitchief. Tin nuUmnca ought to bo abated , and if then ia no other way to do it the city conncl should pus an ordinance prohibiting thi practice. IT now turns out that the war-ship "Omaha" la a gingerbread vessel. Shi has an abundance of fancy woods , oloc trie lights , elegant furniture and othe : now and costly glmcracks , all of whlcl are plcanog to the ojobut her machinery in old-fashioned , occupying twice the room o ! modem machinery , and hcnci nbo can carry only 150 tons of coal. Ai oho burns about sixty tons of coal po : day , she could only tteam part waj across the ocean , and for the balance o the trip eho would have to depend upoi tbo wind. Wo move that either he : name bo changed or her old machlnor ; replaced with something moic compac and modern. ACCORDING to his confidential circnla the postmaster-general requires no mon proof of offensive partisanship than th < affirmation on the part of a senator o representative that the postmaster ha been the active editor or proprietor of republican newspaper , printing offenslv articles , easily shown by slips , or ha boon a stump speaker , member of a pa lltioal committee , etc. How fortunate 1 Li that Postmaster Ooutant baa not bee : an editor or a etamp speaker , and tha there are no democratic senators or rep roientatlvcs In Nebraska to patch up ovl donco against him. But how about th now postmaster at Kearney ? Mr. Vilac In appointing a democratic editor a postmaster , has made an oflbnsivo pai tiuin out of him , and has done what h virtually denounced in His confidontii circular. That la consistency , indeed. THE f fiends of General lloeocrano , wh liavo boon looking around for a fat oflic for him , think that the colloctorahlp c the port of Sin Francisco will suit hirr This is the beat California office in th gift of the president , and it Is said the thn general will receive the oupport of th Grand Army of that state. Ho was th former Grand Army commander In Oal fornla , and this backing will probabl overcome any opposition from politician ! It is very likely th&t ho will succeed I securing this appointment , as ho is ah warmly endorsed by prominent repabl cans and newspapers. The San Frarj cltco Call says "thero Is nothing real ! that can bo said against General Rosi crnus , except that ho has no technlc knowledge of the duties of the office 1 aspires to , but he is a man of high hone and certainly of sufficient intolligenca < apprco'ato the necessity of continuing I office subordinates who can instruct tl collector in bis duties. " INDIAN postmwtors may not bo "offei slvo" partisans , but the redskins must { all the sama to make room for whl democrats. There are about soventy.fi postolHces In the Indian territory , ai some of thorn have boon and are in chari of Indian postmasters. The attorne general has just rendered an oplnli that an Indian Is not ellglblo on tl ground that while a member of a Irll and subject to tribal jurisdiction ho Is n In legal contemplation competent to tal the oath required before entering on I duties , and besides there i ) strong dou' as to the competency of an Indian In tl Indian territory to give the required ofi cial bond. Ittooka democrat to di cover all this. The discovery opens i u now end inviting field for the democrat auico-sookors. Una thing Is certain , at that Is that ns republican office-seek was over mean enough or hungry enouj to ask to luvo an Indian postmaati kicked out of office to msko room f < biimulf. TilE NEW YORK CANALS. Wo have received from tha Now York > onrd of trido and transportation an In cresting statement regarding the bust ness of the canals of Now Yoik as com tared with that of the railroad ] . Durlnj ho season of navigation of 1884 , th anals delivered at the port of Now Yorl 37,501,421 bushels of grain , and thi allroads for the sarna period delivers 28,01,020 ! ) bushels , or 0,402,404 bushel ess than by canal , and whllo the tonnagi of the canals , owing to the goner al do ircsilon throughout the country wae > 54,568 tons loss than the prccodln , year , the tonnage of the Now York trunl Inos fell short moro than donblo tha amount. The fact that thoao results wore ob tained with canala upon which practical ! ; no Improvements have boon made fo many years , whllo the railroad lave had everything which ectonc and ingenuity could furnish , is suggcatlv' ' of the great benefits to the country vrhlol may como from the improvement and ox onsion o ! our waterways. The Nov York canals are not only a great bonefi o that state , but to the whole wostert whoat-growlng country , for , in connco Ion with the great lakes , they furnish ai all-water route from Daluth , Milwaukee Chicago , Cleveland and Toledo to tin oaboard , thus affording a competing ransportation line to the railroads. Thi ) enofita cannot bo overestimated. Thi waterways not only are the moans o cheapening transportation , but they an nn Important factor in the problem o making rates stable , both on land ant water. Millions npon millions of dollar , and vest tracts of land hare been donatoc > y the government to the railroadwhlcl : are In the hands of private parties and it does seem singular that canals especially thoao which are free pnblii ilghways , are not moro encouraged bj ho government. The surplus could nol > o moro advantageously expended thai n the construction of a public system oi canals connecting the various navigabli rivers and lakes. But so long as the rail road lobby remains aa rich and profitabli an it is to day there will ba but little hopi of any great canal enterprise rocoivln ; national aid to any considerable extent The canals of Now York , which have ) eon made free highways , have Trorkod wonders for that state , and their Influence upon trade and transportation li not by any moans confined to loca Imits. Wo are glad to sot , hat the interest In the canal system o : < Tow York Is net allowed to flag. Import ant improvements havebeen proposed and advocated by ox-State Engineer Horatlc Seymour , Jr. , and ox-Comptroller Irt Davenport and other state officers. It ii not too much to predict that with those > ropo3od improvements , calling for ( urn inslgnlficont In comparison with thai already expended on the half-complete : now capitol building at Albany , a nev era of usefulness for the canals woulc )0gin , the results of which would bi ; reater than anything that has boon ac compliahcd in the past. To obtain thi necessary funds from the stito ought t < > o a very easy matter , but wo auppost hat the main obstacle to ovcrcomi s the opposition of the railways. However over , meetings ara to bo called through out the state to form sn organization tc > o known as "Tha nnion for tho'lmprovo mont of the canals of the etato of NOT York , " the object , of course , being to BO cure the necessary appropriations frorr. ; ho legislature. The patties having thi matter In hand are proceeding systematl cally and energetically , and probably wil succeed. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE POLICE COURT CLERK ! . It IB very uestionable whether thi proposed change in the ordinance Introduced ducod at the last meeting of thi council with regard to the clerk of thi police court should bo made. In thi first place the office of clerk was ciuatei not merely for tha purpose of rellevlnj the police judge from the drudgery o writing up his docket , but as a chock up on the two officers. It wan Intendei that the judge should handle no funds ana that the fines and costs collected ii the court ehonld pass through the hand of the clerk , who should keep th records , and that the records should b subject to the auporvlalon of the judge In thin way each would check the other This system does not necessarily cast an ; reflection upon the present In cnmbcnta , nor docs It Imp ! any lack of confidenca in thoC honest ; but there may a time como when a dis honest man will bo elected to the judge ship. In such an event this syster would prevent him from approprlatln any of the city funds , and to guar against such contingency it is impoitat that this plan bo strictly carried oui Formerly the judges of the courtd ; < rived their Income from the costs ol tained from the various offenders , bi this was found to bo a source of corruj practices and impositions. It was not a unusual thing to remit fines and oolloi the costs alone , which , of course , wei into the judge's pocket , while the cl < got nothing. The offender might 1 able to pay ono or the other , bi not both , and in such n case tl : judge naturally looked out for his ow Interests and collected the costs. I Eomo Instances judges of the police con : have actually made no record of any soi with regard to parties arrested for aorl ons offensos.who wore lot off upon psyln the ao-cillod costs. It Is now proposed to tnlco the appoln raent of the police court clerk from tli mayor and confer tbo power upon tl police judge. It is a serious questio whether the appointing power can bo e transferred legally. If , however , thei la to bo any change in the present ord nance wo should regard It as much moi proper for the appointment to bo made t ths instance of the board of educatioi Tbo ontlro revenue of the police courl belongs to the school fund , and tha clcrl of the court should bo held accountable to the board , If the clerk were choscr by the beard or rather appointed upoi Its recommendation by the mayor am council , the board would then have iti own sgent In the court to take care 01 the school fund , A competent man could easily do the work and have plentj of time to spare. Wo say , with all dm rsrpcct to the present judge , that for hli own Interest it will bo bolter for htm tt bavo nothing to do with the appointment of the clerk , Wo might nnmo judges o higher courts , who have had this powoi but who have not by any moans added anything to their reputation by the wnj in which they have exercised the priv iligo of appointing their own clerks. IT cortiluly is amusing to see ono "of fensive partisan" turned out of office ti make room for another. "Why Isn't ai "offensive democrat" ns bad ns an "of fonslvo republican ) " If there over wa an "offensive partisan" it Is the nov postmaster at llazelhurst , Mississippi Ella name is Meade , and hi was the chairman of the domocratli club In Ooptah county that ordoroi Mathowa to leave Hazelhnrdt and threatened oned him with death if ho remained After the shoo\lng of Mathews , when In attempted to vote , the club passed rose [ atloos approving of the killing and Mr Meade was the presiding officer of tin meeting. Instead of being put in thi Eaz'ohnrat postoffico , ho ought to bo in side the walls of the Mieslsslppl poni tcntlafy. Wo cannot understand hov Col. Yllni , who was a bravo soldier , and who fought for free speech , free press irao men , and a free ballot , could possibly bo induced to 'appoint sncl a man ns Mcado to a federal position o iionor and trust. President Olovolant rejected the brother of Senator Blaok- jnrn , of Kentucky , simply on account ol an old letter , In which ho expressed wholesale murderous sentiments , but Col , Yilaa accepted a man who is accoasory tt a cold-blooded murder. It is no wondoi lint oven some of the democrats are dis < justad at such blunders , which go tt make up the most effective kind of 0111 munition for the republicans In the nex presidential campaign. So far aa the republicans publicans are concerned they care no tow many such mistakea are made tht more the bettor. DR FEIUIAN'S cholera Inoculation con ; innea to ba the subject of considerable discussion. The evidence , so far , of the success of his system is quite encouraging , though not yet entirely satisfactory. It Alclra 5,400 persona have been inocu ated , and no deaths of inoculated patients have yet occurred. The ropoil shows one cholera caao for oaoh 1G5 unin oculatod parsons , and but ono case tc each 770 inoculated persons. Moreover , a death rate of ono in 853 among the for mer , as against no deaths among the alter. This showing is , however , more .hart fair to Dr. Fcrran , as it suppose : all the inoculations made on May 1 , which la not the caao , and leavet out of account the fact thai the most cautious and well-to-do arc most apt to avail themselves of sach pre cautions , whllo the death rats la largest among the oppoalto class. Some of the conservative Spanish physicians shake their heads and expreas distrust concern' ing the discovery of Dr. Fcrran , whort they call an "unbalanced enthusiast. ' Public opinion , however , seems to be Ir favor of Dr. Ferran , and the governmonl will appoint a com mission of eminent physicians to investigate his dlscoveriet and the preventive value of bis system ol Inoculation. The result of this Investl Cation will bo awaited with a great deal of interest. No material Improvement la noticeable In the Eidowalka in the business centre of the city. Our streets are well paved , but the walks are in a wretched shape. This condition of our principal thorough fares reminds ono very much of a woman In an elegant dress , but wearing an old pair of shoes , with holes at the toes , and run down at the heels. Our walks should correspond with our streets , not only for comfort but for stylo. Something certainly ought to be done to got the olka on such a street ai Farnam in proper condition. Thoj should be of uniform width , on the came level , and of durable material , Wo cat point out iifty different places where net * walks should bo put down , other placei where they should bo widened to thi curb line , and still other places when they should bo lowered or raised , I property owners can afford to pay fo : street paving , they can afford to pay fo decant and durable sidewalks Thi plan pursued so far of compelling cortali persons to improve their walks whll others are allowed to do as they please la unjust. Everybody should bo troatoi alike In this matter , and wo hope tha the council will pass a fair and reason able sidewalk ordinance , and have It im partially enforced. MR. GAUL AND wants Xacharlah Montgomery gomory , of San Fronciico , appointed as slstant attorney general. The Now Yor Herald , ono of Mr. Cleveland's warmoi supporters , vigorously protests ogalns such an appointment , and If It has n Influence it will probably not be made The qualifications of Montgomery arc according to the Herald , first , that h nas a schoolmate of Garland ; recond that ho was a blatant secessionist In Cal iforuia during the whole war ; and , third that ho has poured contempt in bla wril ings on the common school system of thi country. The Herald Is evidently mad and It gives vent to Its wrath i the following language : "If Altorne General Garland cannot bo happy wltt out having his secessionist and antl-pul lie schools friend as an assistant , wh ; should it not bo well for the president ti dismiss Mr. Garland and give him am Montgomery a chance to go off togotho somewhere ? la our judgment it wouli bo easy to got a much abler and lot blundering attorney general than Mr Garland has proved hinuclf. " The np polntmont of Mr , Montgomery may bo i mistake , but It will net bo any WOIBOI mistake than dozens of other appointments monts which wo can name , and whlcl the Now York Herald cither endorsed o failed to criticise. Tur. attempt to prevent ; the importa tlon of a German band under contract a a violation of the now law against th importation of labor , seems to bo stretch Ing the thing n llttlo too much. Whotho the law can bo made to cover such case Is extremely doubtful , If such Is roall ; the intention of the law , no opera troupe theatrical company , circus , or any slml lar organization , with whom a contract i made abroad , can enter the United States This certainly would bo absurd , as and troupes are not laborpra within the com mon acceptation of the term. Such i law , however , could easily bo evaded b ; the postponement of the contraot-maklu nntll after landing in thta'conntry. ' TIIH British house of lords is doslrou of becoming acquainted with ccrtaii points of American law , and it has ac cordingly summoned , or rather invited Senator Edmunds to appear before tha eminent body and testify. Ho has nc copted the invitation , and no doubt wll enlighten the British lords tc their emi nent satisfaction. If there is any mai In the United States who can do it tha man la Senator. Edmunds. The Invita tion from the houss of lords la certainly i liigh compliment to his knowledge am ability. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has dismlssei kho colored steward and tha cook of thi white house , who were appointed b ] President Arthur , and has employed at accomplished Irish cook , who served Mr Cleveland while in Albany. There ma ] bo no offensive partisanship In this nov deal , but it indicates the president's prof oronco. THE formal opening of the now Done ; las county court housa will take place or Thursday. This will prove an interest1 Ing event to the people of this city and county. It will well rapay any man 01 woman to pay a visit to thla magnificent structure , which would be a credit to i city five times the alza of Omaha. THE American consul at Rio Grandi do Snl , Brazil , having been made thi subject of attack by a caricaturing paper an exchange of shots between him and ; ho editor waa the result. If the conan bas been made the subject of wood-cir illustrations It Is a cause of war. MR. VILAS is readjusting the posta affairs In Mr. Mahono'a territory. Mr Mahono'B postmasters are receiving thcii walking pipers as fast as Uncle Sam'i malls can carry them. Mr. Mahono wll probably continue to affiliate with the republican publican- ) . SENATOR EDMUNDS , ho goes to Ens ; land to testify before the house cf lordi on American law , will have the bea junketing tour of the season. The beaut ] of it is his expenses are paid by tht British. Ii Is to be hoped that the Omaht Doard of trade will not allow this season to pass by without putting its balldinf nnder roof. WESTERN NEWS.
