CHICAGO , which hai become notoi 03 a
great divorce center , has gained addition
al notoriety on account of the rapidity
with which dlvorooa are granted in that

FULLY 70,000 deaths from cholera have

the loss from the consequent paralyols of
lajinoD can hardly bs overestimated.

Tuts proposition to Incioaso the asseisod
valuation of propnty In this city 25 per
cant IB ohomtorlujd by the llepublioan
as rfltlor censatlonal in ono paragraph ,
and In another It adcilta that "tho valua
tion Is ridiculously low , and the rate of
taxation correspondingly high. " Tco
fact li that the low valoatlon of reel ca-
tate makes the taxes appear hlsrh. If
property , however , was appraised at ono-
thlriorevenoac-fonrtb/of Its actual value
the t x rate on the dollar would bo very
much lower. It may bo that the city council
h s no legal right to nuke the iuoroaio In
the manner proposed , but there coitiinly
mutt bo some method by which the in
crease can ba undo. That an iacroaao Is
needed is a fact that must bo admitted
by everybody , The aggregate isiesa-
mont of property ia Omaha to-day , not
withstanding the rcany Improvement ,
the numeruoB additiono and the advance
In voluo , Is IOIB to-day than It was fifteen
yours ago , when Oaaha had less than
one-third of ita present population. Is
stands to rouen that tha clty'a expenses

TOE BELT LINE.
The controversy ovtr the Omaha Belt
railway is exciting n great deal of Inter
est in this city. It Is generally conceded
that the Union P ciBo has been caught
napping , and the result is likely to proro
boncGclal to the Interests of Omahn. It
was the tuiinc is cf the Union P :10o
company c protect itself against any Internal
tornal unsmamgemsnt or abuse of power.
Mr. Clark was not only the general man
agcr but ho was ono of the vloa-proal
aonts of the company. Ho originated
and acquired Iho bolt line as a Union
Pacific enterprise , but as the company
virtually repudiated his action It
must now abide by the result.
As a share owner In the belt
line It will have Ita rights protected
and It will not lese any money that it
m y have Invoslqd in the enterprise , but
the Union PAclfio should not attempt to
obstruct public Improvetnonta whloh II
declines to undertake olthor by reason of
a lack of money or dog-ln-the-mangor
policy. AB to the merits of the quarrel
botweou the Union Pacific and the bel'
line folks the people care llttlo or noth
ing. Our city la simply Intoroitad in
having the road built , and in obtaining
through It facilities for rapid transit to
the suburbs and the propoioi system of
bonlevarda and park * . But more Import
ant than all this , the bolt line ia the fore
runner of other railroad enterprise !
which muat have an entry to thla oily by
means of the bolt. Ono of those outer
prises Is a railroad ts the north and
northwest sections of Nebraska , which
bound to bo built at an early day.
Orlglntlly wo oppotcd the methods bj
which the belt line acquired ita right o
way , but s'.nco ' it has obtained that rlgh
right of way , wo want to too the city
profit by the liberal grants which It haa
msdo to that ontorprlso. Wo under
stand that Mr. 01 uk and his Bjsoelatoa
ntind ready with the money to puah the
belt railway to a rapid oomphtion , ami
wo hope that they will not bo any
longer obstructed by tha Union Pacific.
There are hundreds of laborers who
want employment , anil the money that
wUl bo expended In making the dirt fly
on thobeli line will prove of incshrjhbl
benefit to this city. Wo say lot the
work begin at ono , now that Judge
Dundy hns modified the Injunction BO ante
to permit it , and at the sarao tlmo pro
tect the rights of the Union Pacific.
This Is a fair decision , and ought to bo
satisfactory to a parties Interested.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
WAYS.
The northweat waterwaya convention
to bo held at St. Paul will probably
provo a convention of moro than ordinary
importance. The delegates from the
Missouri valley can , by uniting with the
repprcaantatlvefl of the upper Mieslsarppl
valley , accompllah rcaults that will in the
near future bo of great benefit to the
western country. The Improvement of
the waterways of the northweat , where
the great bulk of the grain products of
thla conutryls raised , is tha only moans
of holding the railroads lovel. With
adequate waterways the abundant grain
crops can be greatly moved to the
markets of the world , and BO long
as they furnish tranoportatlon wo
will bo enabled , through competition , to
rodnco the railway rates to reasonable
compotltion. It Is the interior atrevma
that need Improvement , and if congress
n Ita appropriations gives the western
water routes a fair proportion of the
money Intended for public improvements
; ho people of the northwest will bo aatla-
ied. It Is the Intention of the coming
convention to dttcnea the anbject in all
ta bearings , and formulate a reasonab'o
demand to bo presented to congress , and
; o urge early action in record to the
matter. The importauco of water-routes
u tin E flails of commerce ,
a Btrlkingly ehown in the following from
; bo San Francisco Alt a , regarding the
waterways of Californian
\n 1682 , out of a wheat crop of 1,200,000
tons , only 500,030 ton a were handled by the
railroad , and in 1881 the railroad carried only
G13COOtons , out of a total of 1,000,000 tons.
The importance ol the Urio canal to the com
merce of New York , 03 a regulator of railroad
chargea , is very great , but tha importance to
California of her rivers and ether navifrablo
waters Is still greater. Nothing could atona
Tor IholoEB if they were rained by being filled
up wlthallckona.
BY reason of a stringent libel law In
Texas tko prean is virtually gagged. The
Oalvoaton News , whloh recently paid
$10,000 lo settle a judgment for libel ,
wishing to expose the misdeeds of the
atato land beard , took rather a novel and
precautionary coarse to Ininro itself
against any libel enlt In conaequecoa of
any exposures it might make. It pre
sented to the board a resolution , whloh
It was requested to adopt , that the board
would 'Vully exonerate , acquit , relesto
and hold frco from all palno nnd penal
ties , suits , coata , proceedings , damages
and liabilities agalcsUho Galveston News
for or on acccunt of anything it might
publish touching any member of the
board in the management of the landed
affairs cf Texas. " Tiio resolution was
adopted , and thereupon the A'ews fired a
broadaldo upon the beard without any
fear , charging among ether tiings that
the board , by its neglect and mismanage
ment , Lai lout to the rclnol fund of the
state tha turn of $1 ? COOCO , which should
have been collected under the law from
the cattlemen during the past eighteen
mouths.
GOVEHKOK IliLt , of Now York , ia not
ikoly to b3 hla own successor. Seilcoa
obargcs are being mid3 agsln&t Lira ,
oipechlly In regard to hie appointment n
Adirondack fonst oammletlonera. It is
sllfgod that ho del bontely placed tbo
ccmmltiiou In control of the lumbering
Interest , and what Is wets ? , In tha powtr
of the ssino men who have been plunder-
leg the ctato foroita for years. The re
publican papers are not alone In giving
currency to these rcpotts , which ,
add rno moro weighty reason to these
already ave labls for rejecting hla claims
to bo continued In office. If there Is
anything taoro than another that the
average NCTT Yorker takes a ptldo in
pretorvlng It la thojAdlrondack forcits ,
and if the charges against Hill are true
ho may as well count himself a dent
duck.
EX-SENATOR MoDorULD , of Inditnr ,
while admitting that ho would not have
voted for livil service , cow declares him
self In favor of it as it Is a law , and it
has come to stay , Ho also expresses his
belief that all the clerical pD ltlons under
the government should bo entirely di
vorced frcm politics , and that the clorlca
help should bo appointed on the simo
principle that men are employed In JB-RO
banking end mercantile establishments.
Whllo endorsing the president's civil scr
vlca attitude , ho criticises his adoption o
the "cfTtMislvo partisan" dodge , and can
aiders It an unfortunate mlatako. It la
evident that Mr. McDonald regards It aa
an ovaalori of the civil Borvlco law , thu
putting the president in the position of a
atraddlor.
MAYOR BOYO asyo the taxes should bo
diminished , not lnciatcd. . If ho moan
the iax-rato per dcllar ho Ia correct , am
tbo onnly way to do It IB by an Increase
of the valuation of property. Ho knows
well enocijh that the present valuathn 1
altogether too low. Mr. Boyd certainly
docs not mean , to say that our incrcasoc
expenses cm bo paid out of sources o
rovocuo that are less to-day than fifteen
years ago. It curoly coata mcrj to run
a city of 00,000 people than It dooaono o
Icta than 20,000.
THE Plittamtuth Herald very justly
complains that in the appointment of the
delegates to tha northwest watcrrrriys
convention , Governor Dawea has entirely
tiroly Ignored the river towns , oxcop
Omaha. It might have added that ho
almcat utterly Ignored the interests o
the waterways , as tlireo-fonrtha of the
delegates are moro Interested In the rail
ways than they are In the water routoj
"Wno ahull our gubernatorial can
dldato bol" is the question that Is now
puzzling the Now York republicans.
Among the most prominent names men
tioned are these of Gen. Jonoph B. Carr ,
Lavl P. Morton , Cornelias N. Bliss ,
Senator Evarta , Gon. Anson G. McOook ,
end Ira Davenpart. Evidently there
will bo no lack cf gubernatorial timber
when the time comes.
THE Lincoln Journal made a serious
mlatako in charging that there was a
shortage IP Iho ofiico of Treasurer Ruth ,
of this county. It apologises to him ,
and gets out of Its blunder by faying :
It meant to say "clerk , " and not "treas
urer" of Douglass county. Mr. Kush was
not In the Journal's mind tit all , as all ac
quainted with Douglas county affairs would
aeo at once from the context.
DURING the senatorial campaign in
Illinois , Horizontal Bill Morrison made
promlaou lo everybody. Ho has returned
to his homo at Waterloo , and ho Is be
sieged on every hand by hla aupportors ,
who are calling on him to inako good his
promlces. Whether ho will bo able to
make tbo supply of federal coup go
round remains to ba noon.
WE observe that the revised oflialal report -
port of tha ttato comma gives Hastings a
population of 7,030 , which Ia a reduction
of 490 from the first claim of 8,470.

Factory to Grand Itlacd icmalns to be

Hastings retains the petition of third

THE revision of the atato census did
not change the pppnbtlon of Omeha ,
which ia 61,833. It did , however , In-
croiso Lincoln'/ ) population , which wns
first announced 20,002. It Is now cred
ited with 20,004. This ia accented for
by the fact that a conplo of births oc-
cunod jaat iu tlmo to increase the count.

THAT any man , cflpeclally a oltizsn of
Dina'an , ohould become a candidate for a
federal ofiico without ODUoultlng Dr.

democratic boss. But there ia nothing
like "gall" in polltlcr.

in
A reporter for'the BRK inctGan , Lowe ,
who haa juat returned from EagUnd , hat
night , and had a chert and interesting
talk with htm on the subject of the war
fooling in Great Britain , and ether kindred -
drod topics ,
"Ihero la no doubt , " sikld G. > a. Lowe ,
"but that the war fooling la England la
intenio. I believe , In fact , tint the fool *
Ing toward Russia is moro blttor now
than it WIB before the compromlto. It Is
a ( singular fact , too , that the British gov
ernment la making preparations for war
with all swlftnoaa possible Injing In
ammunitions and providing every thing In
the way of firearms from a torpedo to a
cannon. Thla certainly ehowa that It la
alive to the possibility of war. The faot
of Iho matter Is , " continued Gen. Lowe ,
"England Is in a wonderfully dofensolcsi
condition aa to lirr ports , nnd if attacked
at thla tlmo by a power with a firat-olaoB
navy , for Instance , France , it would go
hard with hor. This fact , too , ia ioilizd
by thoto who have studied the question.
I bad the privilege , while In England , of
being invited to n meeting of the Emplra
Difonao club , at the Miiimon liouso , the
rcaldcnco of the Lord Mayor , iiondon.
This mooting waa called for the purpcaa
of discuta'iit ' ; thla very subject coist de
fense , and I learned moro about the mat
ter there than I could poseibly have
learned by yean cf otudy. Some voiy
dlotiugulchtd military nnd uavnl men
were there , aa aho civilians In high pa-
attlona of command throughout the king
dom. Some Interesting talks were
made by varlona mombcra ahoniog the
dofuuacltBi condition of norno of
the poiti of the British king
dom. 1 remember ouo thin ; In
particular told by old Admiral
Hey &a allowing the doioncoleau condition
of Ghngow , fchnatfld , uo you know , on
the mouth of the Clyde. Ho raid that
ona of the udtnita'a ' of the British navy
ia making practice manoeuvres with his
ihet , determined to sco whether Glargiw
could bo imtored b an enemy'a aut'p ,
when the month of Iho Clyde , aa now
proviJod with harbor defenses , waa
guarded byEnglish vcaseh. Accordingly
ho divided hh ( hct into TWO psrte.nnd aent
ouo squadron out to sa , under charge , I
thick cf Admiral White , instructing
him to return at nny time nftor the rest
of the ohlpa had been positioned In the
harbor , and BCD if ho could cund ono of bis
vessels through the line of defeneo. Ad
miral Whlto followed out hlsmetructlons ,
and the next morning , anro enough , ho
hid succeeded In sending a chip late the
month of the tivor , through the line of
guard , uupercclvcd. This ehowa very
plainly how defenseless the city of Glas
gow ia , with her present hurbor protec
tions ,
"Many ether instances of a llko nature
were brought up , aud I waa astonished ,
aa I Bfiid before , t ? BOO how defenceless
cro some of the important points of the
kingdom. "
"I think exaggerated report ] have been
spread abroad la America ntnut the con
dition of English trade , " continued
Gen. LOITO , "although there iano doubt
but that affairs are frightfully dull there.
Yes , the people teem to have confidence
In Saliabnry'a administration although it
haa been but a short tima ainco hia party
came Into powor. The conservativesba-
fore coming into power of courao were
thoutiog for war , end now that they are
in control of the policy of the govern
ment , must narso thu belligerent feeling
of the English people toward Russia.
