The question with the administration jaat novr Iswhoro taaond Mr. Kelly next. Some foreign country must bo found that will accept this second-hand minister as the representative of the United States. IVc are reliably informed that a cer tain. Insurance company , which prides it self upon being a homo Institution , has employed neatly all of the city nisossors as lie canvassing ngents. These assessors go to property-owners and solicit Insnr- nnco , and of conrao the property-owner ? , If they do not want their property BB- aossod too high , patronize this homo com pany. In this way , it la aafo to Bay , they got tholr Inauranco for nothing. In oth er words , the Insurance company virtual ly compels the city to pay the premiums of Ito patrons. THE republican state central committee - too , acting upon the advice of the attor ney general , recoinmsndn that all coun ties having over 1,500 inhabitants elect a recorder of dooda at the fall election. It will bo rcmamborod that It was the Intention of the legislature to create this office for counties having over 15,000 people , and the bill was BO passed , but the bill thnt waj signed by the governor wca Inccr.'ectly engrossed , ono cipher having boon dropped. Novertholfins , this bill la cons-Sored to bo law until declared nncaccUtntlonal by the supreme court , & 3 it In all probability will bo at the proper timo. WHILE it la conceded that thobnsl ness center of Omaha Is in a very clean ly condition , wo cannot siy as much for aomo aoctlons of the rosldoncc portion of Omilia. People arc too apt to allow gar bage and filth of all kinds to bo damped In the alleys. HID fact is that the alloys should bo kept as clean as the streets. There Is no good reason why garbage should bo.permlttod to remain anywhere within the city for more then twonty-foar lioura , as there is a garbage contractor TTho is supposed to regularly attend to all orders for Its removal. If ho is not doIng - Ing his doty complaint should be made In every inatinca to the city authorities. IN the Boston city hall there Is always kept open a book of complaints , in which every citizen has the right to sot forth at any iitao any special grievance that ho considers the fault of tbo city govern ment , or any of Its departments. Every complaint must bo signed by the nama of the complainant , and , of conrao , a ptclty cloao watch Is kept on the people who nnko the complaints , to a 30 that no bogns entry Is undo or false name used In the way of milico or jocular mlelnformation. Every nnrnlug an abstract of the various complalnto Is made for the use of the different departments of the government , and In this way many small evils are brought to light that would otherwise es cape official attention. This Is Indeed n Yankee notion , but It Is a good ono. It would provo uscfnl In any city , if prop erly carried ont , It certainly would have n tendency to relieve the newspapers from the nnnoyauoo of the numerous complaints that are sent to them for pub II II llcatiou. I OMAUA is suffering Incalculable damage 1t by rcaion of the /allure to have a proper building Inspection ordinance. The pres c ent ordinance only covers the fire llmltr , c and the Inspectors are officers whose time c is entirely occupied with other business. E f Benco the law is a dead letter. If the C city wouid require every pcrion eroding any building , no matter how small or v cheap , to procure a permit from the D building lnspoctorand to pay n foogradod C according to the value of the structure , 0a an ample salary would bo soourod for a 0t competent intpector and all necessary as sistance. The foes , If graded about DS Lc follows , would supply .the . salary : Ono Lb dollar fee buildings oostlng less than 100 ; two dollars for buildings tltl less thw $1,000 ; throe dollars tlP for buildings under $5,000 ; and five dollar tlw lar * for those over 55,000 , If w ol a proper crdlnanca were passed end enforced wo ohould bo abb to ascertain stm oxaotly how in my now buildings are m being erected In Omaha , and wo would arhi hi also bo able to Land to the ntucesor n complete 10 til plete lUt of buildings put up during tbo preceding year , together with tholr loca oa tion , coat , and other Ite.uii. Thli would sp ot enable the assessors to properly ro visa their assessment Hits and euro add the various Improvement ? , ro In this way the city would bo Immensely sti benefited. Under the present loosa sys tem DO attention whatever is paid by thu va auecsora to the Improvements , For in * pe tui stance , a well known citizjn has elected a $20,000 residence on n twenty-acre plat pa ' in tha north part of the city. In 1881 ifhai the amsamont of thli ground was $3 500. hai In 1885 , notwithstanding tha 820,000 ha' ' hoDBo and the Increased value of thu qu property , the aaioismout is still § 3,000 ott The actual value of that properly Jfl pot JMB than ' 50,000 at a low estimate. , rjQi TUB IiAST REQUIEM. To-day the final honors ate being paid over the -remains of the nation's great captain. The funeral cortegewhich with solemn pomp hai wound from the little mountain where Grant died , across the great state where ho made his last home , is approaching tao grave whore ho la to bo laid to rest. Accompanied In Ha course by the tears of the nation which ho did so much to make one * , and which lias never manifested Its nntty os It has in the presence of this national sorrow and bereavement , the funeral proesslon nears the tomb. Through crape-draped streets and avenues , busy with commor- cil life , and hung with the emblems of mourning , it patsos slowly to the little park , which , overlooking the beautiful Hudson , is to gain the greatest attraction In receiving the ashes of America's soldier-citizen. Thousands of troop > unlto with atlll greater multi tudes of citizens In the dual honors. The south no less tearfully than the north joins in the sad memorial. Comrades and friends walk arm in arm with those who opposed him to valiantly in civil atrifo , wLllo the dull booming of the mln * nto guns echo in sad reverberations across a stricken continent. In a thousand cities and town , memorial cervices voice a nation's esteem and a nation's sorrow. The universality and sincerity of this mourning Is a sight long to bo rcmomborod by the people of the country. That it is something moro than aamimont who on doubt. It proves the falsity of the charge that republics are ungrateful. To the dead the pomp and parade of burial mean nothing' No citizen of the republic was moro Bimplo in his Ustos or modcat In his wants , But to the people whom ho served so well In their tlmo of need these oviioncea of sorrow moan ranch , and servo to make known thulr ap preciation of his noble worth , their giief over hla untimely death , and their sym pathy with a family no less bereaved than a eorrow-stricken republic Long after the strains of funeral music shall have died away , and tbo emblems of woo are replaced bythaso of business Ufa and activity , the memory of the last tribute psld by the nation to General Grant will bo lomom- berdd an a historical Incident of touching significance. It will bo recalled as the final death blow to sectional strife ; the evidence of national unity. Victor and vanquished have met together and In the presence of death animosity end re venge fled forever and a common tribute of toarj washed away the last waUgo of the civil war. IN THE NEAR FUTURE. "When Omaha has a hundred thous and population. " That tlmo is not now long distant , though ten years ago It Boomed very far in the future. Then , wo had not a sewer or a pavement and scarcely a curb. Wo boasted that wo had nearly a quarter of a hundred thousand Inhabitants , but very few of us believed it. Now wo approach the three-quarter stretch , with moro than 01,000 residents , with the best system of sanitary sewerage in the world , excellent pavements , hand some business blocks by the hundreds , thrlvlntr tactorics , and n wholesale trade which Is holding Us own against formid able rivals. Our city has outgrown its swaddling clothes. It has ontgrown the advice of the moosbacks and obstruction ists. While taking care of the present it is also laying plans and providing for the fntnrc. "When Omaha has a hundred thou sand Inhabitants , " we may look fiwt for a thorough clearing ont of the wooden sidewalk nulsanca. There ara signs al ready that our people will not permit It to exist much longer , The rotten and rotting shells which dicgraco many of the handsome business honccs before which they are placed must disappear sooner or later to bo replaced by substantial stone , concrete or asphalt. Dangerous and un healthy as they are , the wooden tide- walks must go. By the time Omaha has Increased its population I to ono hundred thousand wo may look for a radical reform in our methodj of property valuation. The wealthy and Influential citizenswho count tholr real estate possessions by the hun dred lots , will no longer bo abla to es cape the payment of an equal share of city taxation while the men of moderate means nro assessed np to the full ratio of one-third. Wo shall find a now system of assessing with ono responsible head and with dop- ceaiity of seeming votes at the coming election and of arousing no prejudice among the voters In their wards. When this ! is accomplished , there will bo no lack of funds for carrying on the continuous Improvements demanded by a city of ono hundred thousand pooplo. Probably , too , at the tlmo mentioned , wo shall see a nnion de pot In place of the miserable cowshed which adorns Tenth street at the crostlng tbo Union Pacific tracks. Increase- itiongth In population , with railroad Danngen , always means decrease in brag ind blaster. Mr. Adams' throats of what will and what ho will not do will con- .Inuo to fall fainter and fainter on our tars as Omaha pisses the limit wo are iponklng of. With commercial strength ither railroads will stand ready to moot In lur city's wants in return for a city's pat- 01 onago. ta The puzzling question of grades , of th term sewerage , of low brick blocks on or alnablo lots which would pay-ahauhcnu fn ps ercontsgo on five and six-story struc tb th < t problem of boulevards and oh atks all these will h va coins nearly , Inb not quite , to a solution , when Omihtt hi a huodrjd thousand population. Weave bo > ave forever settled nuny important ye yemi aostlons in the past five years which mi ' Fr ibor cities have struggled with for a Gc nnrter of n onitury. Wo have Inaugnt' U : Mod and carried Into effect the plan of a ; reat system of public Improvements , and the ways and means for its safe fur- hcrance. Profiting by the experience of other municipal governments , and fortunate In honest officials nt the head of affairs , onr city can honestly boast of securing neatly dollar for dolltr value received for the money Invested. In the five years to conic , at the end of which time Omiba will have n hundred thoutand Inhabitants , we eh nil bo able to build soundly , substantially and extensively on the foundations wo have laid , profit ing no leca from onr own , thsn from the oxporlcnco of others , A NEDHASKA man , who atnrtod ont gunning for President Olovol&nd , has bean taken Into custody at Kancas Olty , while on his woy to Washington. This ahould bo a warning to Mr. Cleveland not to triilo any longer with Nebraska pitriota who are hungry for oflico and cnzy with diaappolntmont. They wsnt no moro postponement of the prlzs dis tribution. MAYOR Bo YD Is In a qaandary whether ha shall sign the oidtuanco providing for the pavement around the grounds of the exposition building on Capitol avenue , bcoiuao If this paving is done It will cause an overdraft upon the paving fond. The mayor takes this ground upon the supposition that the contract for paving .South Thirteenth street has already been lot , but everybody known that the Thir teenth street matter ia in a muddle and that no paving should bo done on that thoronghfara until the Union Pacific bridge la reconstructed. The city is in duty bound to do the paving nronml the exposition building. That was the con- dltlon on which the loaao waa made by Mr. Popploton. It would simply bo n disgrace if that eqaaro were not properly pwcd Trhon the exposition opens. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The course of events during the neck in England has bosn devoid of more than passing comment. The Churchill oplaodo continues to attract at tention with Lord Randolph still holding the tramp hand despite tbo attacks of his fellows. It is generally felt that no tory cabinet could stand without the asslet- anca of the audacious descendant of the Dnko of Marlborongh , who has antago nized his party by trying to propitiate the Parnollltes. Lord Randolph bss ap parently snbmlttod to discipline BO far as to consent to'go on an electioneering tour nlth the Marquis of Sanlsbury , , but ho hcs not surrendered un conditionally. Ho has secured the consent of hla moro nged party man agers to advocate a conservative policj which will embrace local government re form and reform iu the British land laws. It ia trno that those terms are very general - oral , but It may bo safely predicted tnar , having committed his party to a general advocacy of local self-government and and law reform , Lord Randolph will , In his own good time , secnro the adhcshn of the young conservatives to a decidedly particular and radical application of the name principles. Ho will then trade that ia , ho will merge hla following with that of Parnoll and Chamberlain , snap his fingers at Lord Salisbury and the "old fogies , " and go In for leadership on his own account. Lord Salisbury's ' statement on Wed nesday in tha bouio of lords concerning the Afghan question was considered elg- uiGcaut. Lord Salisbury stated dis tinctly that the government Intended to i > ive Xalfikar to thu ameer , according to promise , and to strengthen the defenses of the Indian frontier. This indicates a resolution to withstand further encroach ments by Russia , and It remains to bo aeon whether tha arts of diplomacy will bo sofliclcnt to secure this end , or whether recourse mast bo had after all to .r. . The premier added , referring to the ( strengthening of the Indian dofeunos , that no alteration In the diplomatic situation can induce the govommtnt n the slightest degree to relax or altur ibis policy , which will not depend upon transitory relations with this or that other [ lower , bat which is absolutely necessary 'or the security of India. The govern ment has no present Intention to cccnpy strategic positions In the ameer's do- mlnkn. What may happen , however , wo are nnablo to Gay. We are also nnablo at present to place before yon the papers relating to this question , bocansj their uibl cation just now might compromise ho pending negotiations. It now remains to be teen to what ex tent Lord Salisbury's government Is prepared - pared I to overturn the policy of concllh- tlon ' of his predecessor. In fact the speeches of the now tory ministers In England all show the weakness of the present government and the unsettled condition of British politics. Lord Salis bury's remarks in London on Thursday evening were half apologetic and half timorous , and they failed to convey any intelligent idea as to the policy of the government if is has ono. Gladstone's aucceesors are bound by many of his acts which only a llttlo whllo ago they were se verely criticising , and they evidently do not care to enteronany pronounced line of pol. Icy during their brief leaio of power. Al though no faction opposition is offered by tha liberal majority in parliament , 'it la notlceabla that tbo government has been defeated on several small bills which It has brought forward In an i-ifort to pop ularize Itself. The woiknoes of the min istry promises ts have a very emphatic efface in convincing the people that a llttlo of tory rule will go a great ways and in making the return of Gladstone to PI ( power after the general election in the cc fall an occasion of rejoicing. Ho has his ccel faults , but ho Is the statesman of Eng elP > land to-day. ro Ir [ Wbilo English politics Is embroiled by Irm nter-party strife , Germany sooma to be dc rolling herself or else to bo endeavoring an , eiclto the French into symptoms of ho old tlmo war fever. Blaranrck'a irgan refering to the advice of Prussian t'l apers that tbo French cavalry on thu foiLI runtler bo tuiuforced openly announces LImi bat France Is only waiting a favorable mi itunca to attack Germany either olugle- nd undcd or with allies , "Erory ont broad , " it says , "Is awarp that Germany no Intention of attacking her neigh or. The desire of Frenchmen for re- ano olfdra every politician in France juans of swaying his countrymen , 'r.inoa no mote values Ihe friendship o' loruany to-day than sbo has during the IQ' i it2Q0 ye K. " The Paris prow and eac politicians are terribly incensed ever the article above referred to. The Hungarian house of lords has just joen reformed by the appointment of thlriy now members by the emperor of Austria , acting &s king of Hungary , The selections of those magnates have been mndo from the representatives of art and science , financa and Industry. Among them are the governor of ( ho Austro-Hun- Parian bank nnd several directors , the academicians Hunfaloy and Gyulal , ex- Prlrno Minister Coleman Ghlczy , the oculist Hlrochlor , the architect Ybl. lllrschtor represents the Jewish element In the kingdom. A number of Iho ap pointees have German mines , whllo not a single Slovak , Serb , or Russian has boon nddod to the body. Gen. Marlcisiy , who defended the fortress against the government during the revolution ot 1818 , is oao of the novr appointees. There is something curiously sarcastic In the announcement by the Russian government that It wants nothing moro In Central Asia than It now has , especially when the eamo paper that contains tbo statement contains also an account of the hurried forward movements of Ooosacks from the Caspian to the disputed points In Afghanistan. If tha Russian govern ment has all it wants in Central Asia , there is no need of sending moro iroopo there , for the English have no intention of carrying on a career of conquest against Russian possessions , Such unique dtclaratlons are not Inaptly followed by the Intelligence that "tho negotiations between Russia and England are a,111 in slatu quo. " The nd jonnimout of iho Spanish corlos Is followed by the renewal of efforts to negotiate a now treaty between the United States and Spain , or , to sponk moro properly , to revive negotiations on the old treaty , It cannot bo forgotten thnt the cause of the failure of the last ticaty to receive confirmation at the hands of the eouato was the fact that It was ao manifestly In the Interest of the Spanish colonies and to Iho detriment of the United States that no body of aena- tors could afford to take thu risk of in dorsing It. Those who are negotiating the treaty onow should boar this fact in mind , for it is by far bettor to have no agreement at all them to hava ono which confers all the benefits upon the Spanish provinces and leaves us to bear all the hardships. King John , of Abyssinia , Is perfectly willing to relieve Kassalti , as ho has baon for the last year and a half , bat thinks that his services In this matter are worth exactly half a million , which the English government is now prcpirlm ? to pay There was some tiraa ago a prolty well confirmed report that thomahdi waa willIng - Ing at one tlmo to relieve Khartoum for this amount , bat the English yivnrnment was then trusting to arms and Wolcoliy rather than to moiioy and King Johu ; bat the former have proved in the cnn case so poor a rollanca that it is deemed not worth while to trust thorn In the other. So King John fflll get the money and the job , Kassala will got relief , and the English tax-payer will bavo the con solation uf knowing thrt , after all , there is nothing llko British gold for helping England out of a tight place. The pope in his latest allocution shows no sign whatever of any recognition of tbo secular government of Italy , such RS bo has been credited with a determination to show. On the contrary It appears that he took pains to condemn the Italian covcrnment for forblddng the publio pro cession of the sacrament to the sick , and for permitting the assemblage of the late antt-clorlcal congress in Rome. It is iurthcr stated that although Rome , that Is , the pope , has been thoroughly concili atory In lis negotiations with Prussia , they have proved fruitless. This does not eoein to premise any attempt to suit the popular temper In respect to rotations bet - t \voon church and state. The debate over tha naturalization if Prince Henry of Battenbnrg shovfu that the Eogliah honso of commons Is just SB roidy to criticise the quean as the Ameri can congress Is the president. The ac cusation was sharply made sgilnst her that she wished her own now eon-ln-Iaw made a British subject only that sbo might pass him over the heads of British veterans in the army , Made open In parliament and exciting only laughter , it ndioitea the decay of the feeling of loy alty to the throne as apart from the pee ple. Royalty has frequently been attacked - tacked baforo in the commons , but it is not recorded that ever btforo the cxhlbl- ion of an utter lack of respect for' the queen waa "received with laughter. " The recent decoration of Abdnrrahmsn Khan , ameer of Afghanistan , with the star of India has borne fruit. Tlia innsor has expressed the opinion that England deeired nothing but good of the Afgtuns , and ho advises his people to cultivate the friendship of England , saying that it would bo a bid day fur them if tboy over ctmo under tbo tjrranlcal rule of Russia Pan The amoor knows on which s'.do hit j ( bread it bettered , and in decorations and subsidies , without which ho could not maintain his government , ho gets well pnfd for the good words ho apokks for England. After all , however , England will give rho Afghans bettor treatment than Russia. The failure of tbo Mnnstcr bank has had a very serious effect upon trade throughout Ireland. That unfortunate m Island does not share In the commercial prosperity of other countries when times are good. Wnen they are bid , however , this detachment docs not prevent the wretchedness of its people from being . even moro marked than usual. The fail ure scorns to have bjen the result of son- oral ratoillty and not of over-sanguine an management. Tbo paralysis of trade , bo which Is reported asa consequence of the bokc failure Is the less explicable upon that kc account. "Whit'la perfectly plain la that fe the bank was a bottomless pit , In which ta my amount of money that might have be aeon contributed ta it would have disap tic peared. The Bank of Ireland's refusal to us idvanco any money to help such n con- tbi ern to "lido orer" the stealings of its " ' 1 jflicor was on act of ordinary business tic orudonco.

" * * The recent appointment of ox-Senator Tipton as receiver of the Innd office at Bloomington - ington led n well-known Omaha politician to give the BKE n little reminiscence of Mr. Tipton , whom the Chicago Tiilnnc recently termed an ex-republican senator , "Tipton , it will bo remembered , " said the politician , "wns elected to the United States sonnto ns n republican. Oa the last day of the session of the eonato in 1868 , Andrew Johnson sent in the immo of Hornco Groeloy to bo minister to Austria , The ruins ot the senate required that if nny ono senator objected to tha confir mation on the dny thnt the name was tent iu , it mutt go over ono dny for considcrntion , Tipton objected to the consideration cf the nomination. Various senators welt to him nud urged him to withdraw his objec tions eo Unit they could net on it , nud confirm the nomination , but Tipton wns Immovable. Ho said ho never would vote for Grceley for thnt office or any other , The eennto ndjourued that night , and the nomina tion failed by reason of Tipton's obstinacy , When Tipton returned to Nebraska some of bis republican ftiends took him to task for p-ovontlng the confirmation of Greeloy. So much was said about it that finally , nta public meeting at Browaville , ho mndo n speech vindicating his courso. Standing upon the plnlform nnd raising his right hnnd ho said thnt ho never would vote for Greeloy for any otlice , BO help him God. The reason waa that Grceley had gene on Jeff Ujvls' bond , " * * "In 1809 or 1870 Tipton's troubles with Grant bcgnn , " continued Iho politician. "His son WAS then n clerk of the consul ai Brad ford , England. The consulj'resigned , nnd Tiptou asked thnt hia eon bo made consul , but President Grant and Secretnry Fish did not think it ndvisabla to give him that posi tion. That wna the cause of tha trouble \n- \ twcon Grant and Tiptou. His son-in-lnw , Atkinson was receiver nt Beatrice , nnd ho nlso had n son tn the patent ollico. While ho was ia tha sonata ho had n nephew and nlcco in tbo departments. Yet with all theeo appoint monta ho began to growl and pitch into the administration , Strange 0,1 it may seem , when Grooleycamo up for president , although ha had taken n solemn oath navor to vote for him for nny office , Tiptou supported him , nnd stumped Indiana for him. Tipton , who was a republican for revenue only , finally went over to the demoratio party. Trio democrats liavo now rewarded him , nnd eo lung as ha is in office , ho will bo a democrat. " * * * "Talking about McGillicuddy recalls to mind how ho became the Indian ngant at Pine Hidgo , " said nn army officer the othar clay. "McGilllcnddy nccoinpaniod Prof. Jnnney in the survey of the Black Hills , just prior to the Sioux war in 1870. as topographer of the ex pedition , Janney'd report wns to the effect that there was no gold in paying quantities in the Black Hilla. McGillicuddy , however , did not hesitate to state from bis own know ledge of the ground that gold existed there sufficiently to pay for mining for it. During the Sioux campaign of 187C Gen , Crook carao In contact with McGillicuddy , nnd der'ved a great deal of useful information from the careful maps which ha had made of the country , which , by tha way , are still on file In the interior department. Ihey nro said to ho the host and most care fully drawn maps over forwarded from the west. Gen , Crook was very much Impressed with Dr , McGIIlicuddy'd ability.
