A CORRESPONDENT of tha Now York
Sun asks , "IB the civil service net con
stitutional ? " Wo leave the Sun to an-
avrer the question according to ita own
views , but wo know that the average
democrat is constitutionally opposed tc
the civil sarviso act.
WHAT the Omaha exposition neode
most just now la a judicious advertising
agent who has had charge of the adver
tising department of some mammoth con
solidated circus ton showa In ono , all
under ono canvas. Thoro's nothing like
printer's Ink.
THE cliuf medical man of the Nebraa-
ka democracy haa been compelled to
swallow D . Cleveland's civil aerie
pill and ho advlaea all his patients In thia
state to take the nimo physio without
any further objection. They will prob
ably take their medicine at the ntato con
vention , In accordance with Dr. Miller's
timely ndvico and proscription.
I : MAYOR VAUCUAN , of Council Blnffij ,
who haa gained a national reputation by
roaaon of hla mammoth card upon which
la printed In fine typo a detailed history
of the remarkable man frcm his birth to
- the present time , begins to think , since
hla failure to secure a fat federal position ,
and hia defeat at the hands cf tbo Potta-
vrat'tamlo democracy , that republics are
ungrateful.
THE grand naval manoeuvres at Bantry
bay are hald by some to have shown that
torpodoen can bo made effective to defend
a harbor. By others they are hold to
have shown not much of anything ex
cept that John Bull's torpedo-boats are a
dismal failure. It is evident that there
( is a demand for an effective torpedo *
boat , and.if there Is any truth in the
.quiet rumors that are floating about , the
Miller-Patrick invention will nil the bill.
"There's millions In It. "
tin. SrAULDiNO , tha sub-treasurer at
8an Francisco.is a very particular man ,
Although bis successor la willing to ac
cept the money in the treasury on a
count .by weight , Mr. Spauldlrg Inelsts
on every plcco of coin In the vaults being
counted betoro tha transfer la made.
There ( a 93,000,000 In Iho vaults , and to
count ( t over will toke from six to eight
nnntha , Meantime Mr. Spauldlng
would continue to draw hid salary. No
ono can bhmehimfor being'00 particular ,
but whether his request will bo granted
remains to ba .coon.
THE next time tbat the board of educa
tion has anything to do with contractors
It ehouli ascertain beyond the possibility
of a doubt that the bonds offered by the
contractors era good. By reaecu of the
failure of a firm of excavation coviractoris
and the worlhlcBsncas of their bond ,
qulto a number of laborers are mvlo to
BuiFor o loia which they cannot offcrd.
They have performed their work , sad
ought to bo fall la fa1 ! . The board
should look to the bondsmen to make
good the deficiency. If tha bond Is
worthiest , the board U at fault for having
nooptud tuch a bout ! , and therefore It
ought to stand the lou , vhlch la only a
few hundred dolloie. The laborer is
worthy of bis biro.
A LOST OPPORTUNITY ,
The Indications ai'o that the Union
Pacific cattle shipments will bo materially
decreased this season , owing to the com
pletion of the Sioux CHy & Pacific to
Chadrcn , in northwestern Nebraska , A
largo number of Wyoming , Dakota and
Ncbiaika cattle , hitherto shipped over
the Union Pacific , -will bo lent osat over
the now route , Iho terminus of which ia
located at a commanding point. Thus
year by year the trafficof the Union
PrtcISo ia diminished by now railroads In
the very territory which It should have
captured long nro ; Instead of spending
millions upon millions ia the construction
of distant and costly lines through ro-
glona that will never bo as productlvo of
freight traffic ns Nebraska. The Union
Pacifia lost a golden opportunity in neg
lecting to extend Its system In every
direction through northern and norlh-
wostcrn Nebraska. Its managers now
sco the folly cf the policy that has boon
pursued , and now , when they are willing
to amend the errors of their ways as far
as possible , they have no money tot the
construction of any local feeders in Ne
braska. A branch through northwest
Nebraska would have proved many times
mora profitable than the Oregon Short
Line , which seems to have been built
moro for the banofit of Sidney Dillon's
construction ring than for any assistance
it might render aa a feeder to the Union
Pacific.
IN a , recent decision the supreme court
of Nebraska hold that the common law ,
requiring common carriers , by land , tc
tnako personal delivery to tha consignee ,
haa been BO far relaxed as regards rail
ways , from necessity , as in most enact
to substitute in place of personal deliv
ery , -delivery at the warehouse of the
company , and that In consideration oi
ouch relaxation It la the duty of the rail
ways to furnish and maintain suitable
warehouses or depots , at nil appropriate
points on their linca for the iccalpt and
discharge of pacsongera and freight. II
would acorn that nndcr this decision
Omaha ought to have no difficulty ID
compelling the Union Pacific to glvo no c
suitable depot. It la admitted by every
body , the officers of the company In
cluded , that the Onuba depot is by nc
moana aultablo for a city of sixty
thousand people. The supreme court
further holds that the duty thus imposed
of furnishing an adequate depot
growing out of and resting upon the princi
ples of the common law may bo enforced ,
in the absence of statutory requirement.
THE BEE'S Inqnlry concerning J. Ster
ling Morton baa brought that gentleman
forth from his retreat at Arbor Lodge.
Upon his appoarauca in Omaha ho sub
mitted to an Interview , not upon the row
between the democratic factious In Nc-
breska , but upon moro distant and lofty
topics , namely , Carlisle , Randall and the
tariff fight. The fact that ho did not
touch upon local affairs is rather signifi
cant. It looks as if ho and Dr. Miller
were patching up a truce , and ere long
will speak as they pass by. Wo are led
to thla conclusion by the Herald's hearty
endorsement of the selection of Mr.
Morton to address the United Statoa tree-
raising convention. Dr. Miller siya that
ho will find a congenial theme or bio nd
drcsa In dealing wilh the subject of trees.
One might infer from thla that Dr. Mil
ler thinks that Mr. Morton will find trees
moro profitable than politics.
WE shall soon know what attitude the
domocrata and republicans of Iowa will
take on the queation of prohibition in the
comingcampalgn. The indications are that
the democrats will , at their state conven
tion , insert a plank In their platform
urging the repeal of the prohibition law
and snbitltnting a high license of $500.
Should the republicans take a similar
course , it will make a very lively three-
cornered fight In Iowa. The prohibi
tionists with an Independent ticket will
draw largely from both the democratic
and republican ranks. It will ba a very
bitter contest , and it Is difficult at this
time to safely predict the result.
Du. MILLER admits that n scheme -was
concocted by Nebraska democrats in
187G to purchase n republican elector In
thla state , but ho says that wbon the mat
ter came to him ( tho1 dcotor ) ho refused
to have anything to do with It. In vlow
of the fact that Dr. Miller and hia asso
ciates attempted to steal a whole state ,
some people may think that his refusal
to have anything to do with the contemplated
plated purchase of a Nebraska elector
won based on high moral grounds.
Others , however , will be moro likely to
conclude that his refusal wna grounded
on a fear of failure In snob an enterprise.
Tin : population fight between Grand
Island and Hastings coatiauoi with una
bated vigor and blttnrnoia. Wo would
suggest that hostilities bo suspended un
til lifter the fall election , when the tola
vote of each piac03in ba taken and com
pared. It Is safe to say that every man
n the two cites will on that day feel
his duty to vote. The only danger Is
that each place will atnll' tbo ballot box
to its utmost capislty. If an honest vote
and a tqiuro count oin bs had , the re
salt would show which town Is the
larger , _ _ „ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE fatlnro of Jobn Roach DO far has
not materially disturbed any one. This
ia owing to the fact that he Is by no
means a bankrupt. The schedule of hU
liabilities foot np ? 2,223COO , while hi
actual assets are $ -1,481,000 , which leaves
a pretty good margin. Some nun would
bo satisfied to retire on a surplus of ov'ir
vo mlllionr.
COUMUMOATIONS complaining about
ho pound master If sent to this office
will ba laid under the tablo. Some com
plain beoftuio ho Is doing hU doty , while
crthers grnmblo because ho Ia hot strictly
enforcing the law. Between the two
fires the BEE will not attempt to rcguhto
the pound master ,
THE Bessemer steel-rail men are about
to form a pool , and ralso the price of
rails from $27 to $30 per ton , which leads
the Philadelphia Record to say :
The duty on street rails ia so high and the
prices are so low that they have no fear of
competition from abroad , but they are Anxious
to secure protection against each other. Tha
dllHculty with nil such combinations IB that
manufacturers who are most favorably situ
ated for production nre not willing to check
their output and their profits to accommodate
their weaker brethren.
COLONEL OAIIIIOLI , D. Wmour an
nounces that the now state census , which
ho hopes to have ready next month , will
glvo Massachusetts a population 1,010,000
a gain of 100,000 sluco 1880. The
Philadelphia Record pertinently asks If
thla eminent statistician Is any relative of
the Carroll D. Wright who draws a salary
from the federal government for cervices
which ho la supposed to discharge at
Washington ?
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The English parliament haa been pro
rogued by the queen. In her speech she
laments the result of the Soudan cam
paign , but expresses the opinion that the
death of El Mahdi will enable her to
solve the Egyptian problem with less
difficulty than has heretofore attended
that subject. She congratulates horeclf
upon the friendly relations existing with
other powers , and she trusts that nego
tiations with Russia will result satisfac
torily. As to the northwestern frontier
of "her" Indian empire she proposes to
place It in a condition of adequate de
fense. In closing she taken occasion to
pray for the blessing of God
upon the pcoplo'a extended liboitloi.
English politics , now Ithat parliament
bai adjourrod , will aubaldo Into a qniot
stale until the fall elections. The London
Times expresses the belief that the de
cision whether Gladstone la to retain the
liberal leadership In the coming cam
paign depends on the reault of hia journey
to Norway , in hopes of recuperating his
health. Uo is allllcted with throat dis
ease , but It ia expected that he will bo
able to apeak in publio within a few
weeks. Thcra cortnlnly has boon a rc-
ation In favor of Gladstone , and hla re
turn to power would neb bo a matter of
any great surprise. The torloa are not
by any moana harmonious , and they are
already quarrelling over tholr recent
victory. Lord Randolph Churchill ii
moro than the old-fashioned torioj of the
Standard can stomach , and certainly his
alra of owning the party , and putting
under its ban auyono who doca not give
support to all his measures , ara moro
than Englishman of any way of thinking
are likely to endure , Thus , after con-
sen.tlng to address a great meeting at
Liverpool in the interest of the two tory
members for that city , ho annonncad
that ho would not go , ainco those
members did not support him In regard
to the Irish queation and the medical re
lief bill. A little thought might have
ehown him that the members for Liver
pool , If they supported the now plan of
conciliating Ireland , must expect to lose
their scats. Liverpool is the moat
Orange constituency in the British
Islandn. The main strength In the tory
party there Is In the passionate dislike of
Irish Catholics which characterizes the
majority of the voters. In ouch circum
stances It is usual for a party leader to
allow some margin of private judgment
ti his followers. Lord Randolph
Ohuichlll haa not the making of such a
loader in him , just because he lias not an
Idea of tolerating any one's opinion but
hla own. And on this point ho ia taking
the moat dangerona course possible for
hla permanency In the leadership of his
party.
It there is ono thing in the program mo
of the now miniitry that ia causing
"groat searching of heart" to the old-
fashioned tortes , It is Ita Irish policy.
That policy Trill have hard work enough
to pull through on Its merits without tta
being burdened with all Lord Rindolpn
Churchill's tempera.
The torlos say tbat Mr. Gladstone
never should have gone into Egypt. But
they also say that slnco ho did go , the
English must now stay thoro. Practi
cally they ara annexing Ejypt to the
British Empire , and tbii annex
ation will be an accomplished fact
If Mr. Gladstone do on not got a majority
ntxt November. They are reconstruct
ing the force In possession of the country ,
so that posts of a temporary nature are
made permanent positions. And when
the Turks remind them that they are real
over-lords of Egypt and of its khodlva ,
the answer Is that the English govern
ment declines to dltcass snob proposi
tions. At the same t'ma they are
doing no moro than did Mr. Gladstone's
administration for the relief of Kassala ,
the garrison In upper Egypt which still
holds out against the forces of El Mahdi ,
Another mooting is being arranged be
tween the ompeior of Germany , the em
peror of Austria , and the czir of Russia ,
The meeting Is to take place at Kroui-
tier. The army is being mobilized to oc
cupy the different lines of railway to bo
travcreod by tbo czar , and to guard the
bridges , tunnels and croailnga. The mili
tary precautions taken last year to pro
tect the czir against an outrage by nihil
ists are being repeated on a larger scale ,
owing to ilio authorities having received
information in the elfttct that the nihilists
In Europe bavo recently shown great ac.
tlvity and have plenty of money. This
conference , In view of ( ho Russian and
German difficulties with England , la
rather slgnlficsat jus I at this tlmo.
Germany Ia pressing nutters in Zanzi
bar to a crisis. Admiral Pascaen , com
manding the German cqnadron , haa pre
sented an ultimatum to the sultan , who
is to withdraw his forces , now said to be
in VUu , or to hava his capital bam-
bardod. Solttn Soydtd In hla dilemma
aaka for the protection of the Koglleh
flort Lord Salisbury bos telegraphed
Prince Uisnmck asking that the German
demands bo kept in abeyance until England -
land has had time to consider the sultan's
appeal. Will Prince Blimsrck con-
it-ut to this ] It la England'd Jnuaonco
the sultan of Zanzibar that has
ed Germany to istutne her present
hrcatenlnp attitude. Germany charges '
sir John Kirk with having Incited tho'tl
sultan to opposa her colonial aspiration
and hints bavo already been cent from
Berlin that the British representative
must bo sacrificed before n moro concilia *
tory altitude on the part of the Gorman
government can bo hoped for. lord
Salisbury has a difficult task before him ,
The threatening attitude which the
Gorman government lias a umod toward
Xinvdbar was the subject of discussion
during the early part of the week in the
British house of commons. The nndor
secretary of foreign alTtlra stated that ad-
vlcca In the possession of tbo government
showed that "tho chiefs of the varlons
districts remained steadfast in tholr loy
alty to the sultan. " This statement Is
misleading , since the territory which
Germany desires to cover by a protect
orate Is occupied by chiefs who bavo
hitherto given allegiance , not toXan/.lbar ,
but to the sultan cf Yltu , aad with
whom Germany haa secured treaties
through the Gcrnun Eist Africa
society. The Sultan cf Xinzlbar has ,
however , always claimed sur.srilnty over
Vita , though ho wns never able to en
force it. The territory bolonglns ; to
Xinztbar only extends from fifty to n
hundred miles back from the seaboard ,
and the possession by Germany of the
( ands of the Vitn tribes would render
Impossible all fatther oxtontlon of the
frontier country eastward , Sultan Soy-
did Dtirgash objects to tbo Germans ob
taining territory Immediately to the rear
of Zanzibar , aim consequently tha pres
ent trouble arises. How far England
will aubport Sultan Soydld remains to bo
eccn.
Late London advices say that the mili
tary party In St. Petersburg la ngaln
elated over the prospects of speedy hos
tilities with Great Britain , and It is be
lieved that Russian delays are mainly for
the purpoooof postponing military move
ments until the heat in Central Asia bo *
ODmoa a little less fierce. The fnot re
mains , however , that the Anglo-Russian
situation has many times this ysar boon
far moro threatening than it Is ab proa-
out , and that oven the easily excited
speculators cf Enropo and America refuse -
fuse to pay much attention to the un
ceasing stream of warlike rumors.
Russia Is steadily fixing things for a
long stay In the newly acquired toriitory
north of Herat. Recent dispatches an-
nouncathatia conscquonca of "rumors"
that the Afghans were "tnarslng" troops
near Penjdoh , ctrong Rusnan reinforce
ments have boon dispatched to that point.
This moans that the Russians have simply
invented o very flimsy excuse for concen
trating a powerful force whora It will bo
most convenient to use for GfFeuslva
operations. The movement Is an an
swer to the Britich advance In
the direction of Caudahar. Mean
while the Russians nro not neg
lecting their Hue of communica
tions , a fact clearly nhown by the plan
ning of a now town at Morv , Including
citadel , gardens , barracks , and b&z\ra.
The old town Is Incloaed in an Immense
mad wall , larger and stronger than the wall
at Geek Tepe , behind which the Tckke
Turcoman warriors hold Skobolefl' bay
through a long and costly siege. It Is so
largo that the Russians tawas soon as
Merv wai occupied , that It would afford
no protection to any garjrlson they
could afford to maintain in the ocsls , and
hence they early forced tbo inhabit
ants of the Turcoman stronghold
to build a email citadel for the czar.
The building of an entire now town
means that the Russians are determined
not only to avoid futnro ( linger of being
fhut up between tbo old Morv wall * , but
that they doilro to break up the Turco
man population and destroy the national
or tribal spirit which has centered In
Morv. Clearly the extension of the
czar'a empire which "caved In" the rid
frontier of Afghanistan is Intended to be
permanent and well secured.
The conviction of Riel for treason , and
his sentence to death , has caused a great
sensation among the French people of
the Quebec province. The French fur
nished their quota of troops to put down
the rebellion in the uorthwoU , but nouo
the less they were denonncod by the
Orange party as in sympathy with Us
leiders , and the priests were charged
with exciting the half-breeds to robe
In this there was juit so much truth tha
the French Canadians regard Rio ! an
his aesoclatea as the victims of a pollc
which aims at the obliteration of tb
French element in the northwest , an
did not condemcn him BO
verely , oven whllo they wer
working for the restoration of order
Tnoy now resent the proposal to tak
bis life as a , blow at the French iaco in
Canada. If the Ottawa government at
wise they will lot him run. It must hi
very impolite on their part to do any
thing that will deepen antipathies between
twoon the provinces of the dominion sc
soon after Its union under ono govern
ment. The vigor and succces of thei
military operations against the rebel
will eulllco for tbo prevention of sucl
experiment ; ! as this of Rlel's In th
futnte. It will ba a mistake to sully th
victory by ads of a character which tent
to create permanent bad blood.
The black iligs arn at It again In Anara
this tlmo In the southern provinces , sev
eral thousands of Christians having been
driven into Qainhon , which Is south o :
Hue. This will ba a good opportunity
for the French to tproad tholr Influence
once more , The first aggressions in that
quarter of the glebe were based upon tbo
pretext of defending Christian mission
aries and their followers. The republic
which would qecularlze the state's belong
Ings In Parlp , champions Christianity in
Anam , and thus far , considered as poti-
clei , neither move lira been a success ,
The restoration of the ex-khedlvo
Ismail Pasha , to the throne cf Egypt wili
at least place a man at the head of affilra
In that unhappy land. The ex-khedlvo Is
not what ho ought to bo any moro than
tha rest of mankind , butholspotsessedof
no little ability and a knowledge of Afri
can and Oriontil character and politics
that will contribute in no nmll degree
to restore n measure of puce to the
valloyjfof the Nile. His pacification of
the Houdan , over a quarter of a century
ago , Is still remembered in Khartoum ,
and perhaps , next to Gordon , no man has
over exerted so great an Influence In Cen
tral Africa as Ismail. Ho thoroaghly
believes that treachery and bribery are
h bo mot and overcame by greater
treachery and mora lavish bribery , and as
i comoquenco of this conviction , npori
rhlch ho was always oareful to act when-
> vor dealing with the notables and people
if the Soudan , ho acquired during
he yean of his Soudan administration a
epntatlon for sagacity that inspired both
Irabs and blacks with most profound ra
ped. If the EnpJlok government In-
ends to replaoa him , It will probably ba
rith a view to tbo restoration of order In
bo Upper Kilo rcglt n , and there Is no
! ak In stating tbat if ho returns to Egypt
> r that specific purpose , it will ba ac-
jinpllahed.
P it h struggling out of the chaos of Hi
10 civil war which followed tier dpfat
by Chill. Colombia is putting down the
Insurrection which a taw months ago
threatened to overthrow her government ,
And now Venezuela has n rebellion
against the present mini of that repub
lic. So the course of history runs In the
Spanish republics. The amount of re
spect for personal rlghti that la ntcjt-
saiy for the stability of a democratic
form of government does not exist in any
corner of Latin Amorioi , Chill la no ex
ception , for the fltablo government of
Chili is not democratic but aristocratic ,
llotcs the repugnance to the United
States and Its lead in the nffilro of the
continent , for which Chill ia noted , And
the Chilians are wiser than their neigh
bors. Better dlatruit our North Ameri
can republic than take Da prematurely for
a nicdel of government methods.
The relations of church and stale are
an additional source of trouble and dis
order throughout South Amtrlca. The
republic of Ecuador la the only ono that
is heartily In pympathy with the Roman
eoo and ita hierarchy at homo. And
oven Ecuador finds that its concordat
with the papacy binds It to conditions
that are not only oppressive bnt ruinous
to the country , In Chill Ihoro is a
struggle batwecn the civil and ecclesiasti
cal authorities In rocard to the toleration
of Protestants. The Engllsh residents
of the country form a very considerable
clement of the seaport population , and
are In hearty Record with the ruling clnsj
and exorcise much Influence over It.
It was they who no doubt sug
gested the cold answers with which our
commercial ooramlasion waa received by
the pronldcu1 of the republic. They
want Bomo assurance of religions liberty
band-to-mouth toleration and
beyond a - - ,
the republic wanta to glvo them every
assurauca that will Induce them to como
to Chill in larger numbera. The hier
archy resists any change in the law which
makes Roman Catholicism the creed of
the republic , and which proscribes other
forms of worship. The struggle may end
in the disestablishment of the chnrcb , for
the republican arialoerocy of Chili are
given to high-handed measures when anyone
ono crosses their wishca.

Under tha bonnet I kissed her ,
Under her bonnet of straw
It would hava been strange Imd I mimed her ,
For but half of her vlsago I saw ,
A glircpsa of her chin and her dimple
And tier nose showed itn oxrmlsito tip ;
And it seemed BO remarkably himple
'lo carrom right there on her lip ,
And under that mighty poke bonnet
I dived for a moment of bliss
You may wager your wardrobe upon it ,
I delivered a llghtning-speod kiss.
Yes , under her bonnet I klteed her
And somehow the bonnet allows how
I found 'twas her Boston-bred sister.
