Mr. Thomas L , Kitnb.il 1 is again at the helm of tlio Union I'aoillc. The absence of ( iencr.il Manager Culla way affords him an opportunity to stab at the HIB : with his line Italian hand. There is a cam paign -impending , and this valiant rail road warrior is spoiling for another light. It is nn open secret that the brainless flunkies who conduct the republican Union Pacific organ arc mere puppets in his crafty hands. They would not dare lo make a move which they know will in volve the Union Pacific in a bitter and relcntlci-s war , without consulting their patron saint , who has for years kept them afloat. In thee memorable sena torial contests the Union Pacific played paymaster , quartermaster and com missary for a grand army ot political bummers and dead beats , of whom Thomas L. Kimbail was generalissimo. History records that Kimball's cohorts were overthrown , hor.-e , fool and dragoon , by.an unorgan ized mob of the people. The outcome ol tins coming campaign will , we feel confi dent , be moro disastrous to the Union Pacific and more humiliating to the crafty schemer who delights in playing the political boss. Whether Mr. Calla- way approves or condemns his course in opening an assault at this time is a mat ter of no consequence. Mr. Kimbail will manage somehow lo shift the responsi bility. The Adams policy of non-intervention in politics docs not suit Mr. Kimbail. He loves a political light for all there is in it , even if ho gets Avorstod. To him this po-.Miin policy is di.-tastelul , and to the concern that is propped up and kept alive by railroad job work it is almost disastrous. It was doubtless this feeling that prompted the trafllo manager to order a reopening of the war at any ha/.ard. Having failed in their attempt to advertise the editor of the Hr.i : as a h.vpocrilo and fraud who was waging mock railroad war and at the saniu time carrying Union 1'acilio an nuals in his p6ckct , they returned to tlyj charge and point to the red stone front of Iho \ \ building \ \ as a proof that our opposition , to Colorado sandstone as a paving material was a blackmailing sham. While they do not dare to charge downright bribery , with the verdict of a recent libel suit fresh in their memory , they go so far as to inti mate that the Union Pacific has silenced the Hiii : on Colorado sandstone by fur nishing a red-stono front for our building free of charge. This is of a piece with all the villainous libels thnt have been concocted and circulated for years by Thomas L. Kimbail and his henchmen Nobody knows hotter than Trnlliu Man. ager Kimbail that this is a lie coined out of whole cloth. He knows that the stone for our building is not Union Pacific Colorado paving stone. The Colorado sandstone used for paving purposes is of a grayish color , while our -tone is red , and was not taken from thu same quarry. Dul even if it had been identical , the fact of its being used in our building affords no excuse for intimating a corrupt bar gain. Our contract was inadu with Inner brothers , including all masonry and brickwork. The plan called for a rod stone front , and the contractor sublet the masonry , including material , lo Mr. Mcl- quist. ItwasimniatcrialtouswJie.ro ho bought his stone so it came within Iho re quirements of the contract. Wo don't know to this day whether lie bought it from the Union Pacific stone agent or procured itdircet from the owner of the Colorado quarry. At any rate he paid for his stone and wo have paid the Itlncrs for the work and material. Our opposition to Colorado samlstonn as : i paving material was based on sound reas ons , it is not and never will bo a dura blc paving stone , although it may bo an excellent material for building pur poses. We. defy any Union Pacific organist to produce a single line from the BII : : in opposition to Colorado sandstone , of whatever color , as a building material. Quito apart from the objection raised against the Union Pacific sandstone for paving purposes , was the objection to the methods employed to foist that material on our eili/ons against their wish and will. That objection was sustained by the courts after a full hearing. If the Union Pacific agents , in or out of Iho council , should over attempt a repetition of the obnoxious and dishonest methods , wo shall bo as outspoken and vigorous in our opposition as we have over boon. Our Colorado sandstone front is inge niously made the basis of a proposed ex change of Union Pacific mileage tickets with the Hr.j ; , anil Mr. Kimbail snecringly ami remarks ' 'this ' sarcastically 'advertis ing' of the Union Pacific corporation is a big thing , that institution being a new and unknown affair , and consequently very anxious to got its business before the public. " Mr. Kimbail may possess his little soul In patience. Wo do not ask any odds of him , oven if he were the owner of the road Instead of one of its paid servants , His newspaper llunkies may enjoy the privilege not only of their annuals , but of pa ses for their strikers and drummers , who travel on the Union Pacific year in and year out in search of job work and stationery orders , while other job printers and stationery dealers urn compelled to pay for their transportation. Advertising Is worth money in the Omaha JJin : , but literally worthless in the subsidized railroad sheets , which tire morn appcndagasof job olllccs. Other railroads as important and as well known as the Union Pacific regard it as advantageous to advertise in the HIK : , and they pay for the use of out advertising hpaco both in money and in milage tickets. The Union Pacific , in spitoof Mr. Kiiuball's aversion , has ad vertised its lauds and bids for contracts in this paper , not ns a favor but as u matter of business. At the sumo time , however , let us remark that thousands of dollars of advertising have been sponged by the Union Pacific in the shape of local notices of excursions , state fair trains , changes of time ami time tables. There Is no moro reason for the deadheading of railroad excursion notices , time tables , &c. , than them is of dry goods nnd millinery openings , balls , concerts ami fairs , or any other business an nouncement. If a great railroad com pany cannot afford to pay for the use of advertising space , nobody else can. An exchange of mileage tickets for advertising is in reality moro advantage ous to the railroad company than an ex- C-liango of merchandise would bu for ad vertising space , Since the Union Pacific is determined to rcnow the war upon lids paper with out any provocation , it must take Iho responsibility and bear the consequences , Wo are read } for il , and have no fears of the outcome. Tlie CHinminijV Trial. The investigation of the charge. * of al leged bribery preferred by ex-Caplain Sullivan , of the police force , against Marshal Cummiugs , Is no-v in progress before the special committee appointed by the council. Common decency would dictate that no effort should be made on the part of nny new paper to comment on the case until after all the testimony is in. A fair , impartial and thorough In vestigation , and nn unbiased report by the committee should be satisfactory to the parlies who trumped up these charges. If Marshal Cunimmgs , who de manded the investigation , is proven guilty of bribery or corruption by unim peachable testimony , he .should be re moved and prosecuted to the fullest ex tent of the law. If , on the other hand , the reports about his bribery are a more piece of sjiitefulucss on the part of subordinates who imagine that they have not been fairly treated by the marshal , he should be vindicated , and Ins accusers severely censured , to say the least. Had the paper , which has been for mouths clamoring for Marshal Cummings' head , been content with publishing the testi mony and leaving the committee to its unbiased conclusions there would be no fault to.find. Hut the malignant attempt to forestall the committee and to distort the testimony and create a false impre ion on the public mind before half the testimony is in , cannot be too severely condemned. Il is an outrage on common decency , imd only shows lo what base ends partisan feeling and a desire to convert our police force into a political machine will lead. Wo have no desiru to defend Marshal Cummings for any act that will not bear thu fullest investigation. Wo earnestly protest , however , against the course pur sued by the democratic organ , which holds a club over the heads of the demo cratic members of ( lie committee , and is attempting to bulldoze thorn into a ver dict adverse to Marshal Cummings , even before the defense has had one single wit ness on the stand. IT isn't always safe to call a man a hog. The Wisconsin supreme court has re cently decided that it is iibelous , and allirmed the judgment given for the plain- till' in the court below against the editor of a newspaper who had applied the epi thet to him Judge Orton , in the opin ion , said : "Tho use of this term is most intensely contemptuous , and intended to bring the plaintiff into ridicule and con tempt , and to injure Ids standing and reputation as a citizen. " The news papers of Council Hlulfs , Sioux City , Lin coln and Kansas City will please take notice and govern themselves accord ingly. It will not do for thorn to refer any more to the citi/.ons of this city as Omaliogs. Tin : democratic bull-dozer who has taken Iho contract to depos'u Marshal Cmnmings , declares that "honoit , incorruptible ' Ford be bum ruptible 1'aliick must not pered by the partisan trickery of men who are desirous of saving other reputa tions by maintaining that of the ollicial on trial. " This is enough to make a horse huiu-li.

The hunters approached within a few yards before being discovered , when the wild man lied into the mounlaius with thu swiftness of the wind us soon as ho saw the hunters. _ Tlio Doom ol' Human Hnlr. , Xcw } ' < nlH'mUl , A startling prediction comes from the Nineteenth Century Club. Dr. William A. Hammond advances the opinion that in about ouo thoinand years , which will carry us to thu year of our Lord S8M-80 , all mankind will bo bald. Unless Iho gen eration living in that ago should choose to counterfeit their ancestors of the pres ent day by wearing wjg.s , only smoothly polished heads , destitute of capillary covering will bo visible from th" family circles of theaters or the galleries of churches. Dr. Hammond docs not nndurlakoto predict to what men and women of that iistant era will resort to supply this du- Jieiency of hair , or whether they will ro- ard it as a deficiency at all Hu only makes u proposition based on his obser vation of tlio steady increase of baldnc.-'S , without oven expressing ttti O'.lmon whejjii.if ( ho il cltTie ol hair will bo a iMMiiish or an ornamentation. Perhaps the esteemed doctor is inclined to regard it iis the latter , since his own head emu lates the days of 28S5 , uxccpt as to a light filamentous fringu which borders ihu base of thu skull. It is ditlioiilt to conjecture lo what this universal baldness may load. If tlio present fashions blioulu prevail in these days , U is not improbable that ladiua may employ distinguished artists to paml "Mikado" lignres , bird * of bright plum age or Indiscribablp animals on Iheii heads , and enterprNng men of buslne * * may use the smooth space for advertlsm-i purposes1. If Iadie < decided upon wear ing wigs the business of the hair-dres er and the ladj 's maid \v ill be considerably lightened. Tf Dr. Hammond is correct in his pre diction , it Is certain .that the termagant wife of 2 s : , will not be able to take ! i < firm n hold upon her husband us the wife of Iho present time. It may aKo be finest ioned whether the politicians of that date will be any more barefaced than those of 18 5 , even if they should be more bareheaded. HORSES THAT SOLDIERS LOVED. That Seemed n l-'oiul of Itiitllo as Their Itlder.i. Several hordes became famous in ( he war of the rebellion from their associa tion with famous commanders. Proba bly the only sun Ivor of them all is "Old Sorrel. " Stonewall Jackson's charger. ( ieii. Jackson rode him in all the battles in which ho took part , and was on his back when he received the wound from which he died. After passing through various hand" , Old Sorrel was sent to Mrs. Jackson , who afterward ga\e him to the Military inilitulu at Lexington , V . lie Is about thirty years old , and his mane , tail and letloeks have nearly all disappeared , one hair at a time , through the persis'teneu of relic hunters. Tlio horse N still spirited , although still' in Ids joints. He is n general favorite , and is greatly petted at thu military in stitute. In the ordnance museum on ( loveruor's Island is thu Mulled and mounted skin of the celebrated charger that bore ( ion. Sheridan to Win- eh.-ster "twenty miles away. " llu was foaled in the fall of ItM at ( irand Kapids Mich. .and died on October 2 , 1878. Ho was taken into the army by an plllcer ill the 2d .Michigan cavalry , of which Sheri dan was colonel , and was preented to Sheridan by Capl. Campbell in Hie name of the olliccrs of the regiment , ( ieti. Sheridan was on his back in nearly every battle which ho fought from the begin ning to thu end of the war. lie was never wounded , and had no superiors as a Held horse. Among other color marks he had three while feet , which are sup posed by superstitious people to bring ill-luck to thu rider. 'I his .superstition will have to be changed slightly in view of the fortunes ot Sheridan's horse ; three white feet must now bo construed to mean ill-luck to the. enemy. Sheridan's horse was dark not in the sensu of a presidential candidate and in t lie. heat of balllo his hair turned to a brillaut black , doubtless owing to prespiralioii. "Dick , " a favorite war horse , dicrl in Oswego , N. V. , last January. Hu wns born in 18.V.1 in Mexico , that little village whose old academy has sent many noted men out into tlio world governors , scholars , .statesmen , poets , und scientists. Dick was as carefully trained as the child of u fond parent. When , in I8ijl the war broke out , and the gallant Twenty- fourlh New York was organized , Oswego county citizens looked around for a horse to send with Adjt. Robert Oliver , Jr. , to Iho front. Col. James Doyle and William 1 $ . Pheliis selected Dick , \y\\cn \ \ the regiment hail proceeded as far as HI- mira. < 'ol. Doyle overtook it , and had the satisfaction ot seeing Dick mounted by Adjt. Oliver. Dick went front with the boys , who pedcil him as they might a favoritu dog. The lior.-o speedily acquired an undersUindingof the danger ous and important work assigned to him. Hu showed himself an intelligent , well- disposed animal , sharing tin ; rations and almost drinking outof the same canteen with the soldiers. When his human friends sufU red he seemed to know it and sympathize with them. Ureut battles came on in their turn. The lields of carnage found Dick ami his master at tliu fore. The streamsof blood , Iho flight of shells , tint rain of balls , had no terrors for him. With flashing eyes nnd skin covered with foam lie dashed through the horrors of battle , fearless of Iho roar of artillery and of all the terrible sights and sounds around him. Ho fought , lij'tiru- tively speaking , at the second linll Rim , Chanccllorville , South Mountain , 1'al- month , Autietam. Raiipahannuck Cross ing , and Frederieksburg. Although Dick was wounded at times , lie never flinched. Robert Oliver , Jr. , returned to Oswego a lieutenant colonel , llu died in 1871 , and Dick was left as a legacy to Robert Oli ver , his lather. Kvery comfort that n horse might enjoy has been gratefully tendered to Dick" , On every Fourth of July following the war ho was brought out and mounted by Mr. Oliver us mar shal of Iho day lo receive thu plaudits and cheers of thousands. On such occa sions the old Iiorsii seemed to regain all his former lire. The martial music , the war Hags , and the gleam of arms .seemed to bring back the past to him. lie was a war horse to the last , and died suddenly and as pleasantly a.s if ho had been strick en down by a bullet through thu heart. PRESIDENT ARTHUR. How He Was Kiilnapiiril in Murhle- hcnil , Mns * . . In I. SKI. Harper's We < kly : Kx-l'rcside.nl Ar thur tells the following story : "H is not gem-rally known thai' I was kidnapped once , but the same is true , nevertheless. In tlie summer of ' 81 I was taking a trip in a government dispatch boat along the coast , when ono morning wo nut into Marblohead in order lo visit Salem , thu ancient home of witchcraft. Our limo was limited and wo desired to es cape observation ! but no sooner had wo landed than I was recognized. Wo hurried into a carriage and proceeded to Salem , but while in thu museum of that city which contains many souvenirs of the witches I was accosted by u sad-faced man with piercing black eyes , who had come , itis Miid , to ask me to say a few words to thu people of Marblchead. I firmly , but pleasantly , rcfusc.ii , tin thu ground of pressing engagements , and was compelled to repeat my refusal at least Ihreo limes before the sad-faced man departed. On thu way back to thu vcsicl my carilago suddenly stopped , and the door was rudely opened by the sad- faced man. who again insisted that I should speak tothu people nf Marblehead , Threw limes again I positively declined. Oim of llio naval olliccrs who was with mo became very angry , and shut the door with a slam. 'I lie sad-fuoi'd man jumped upon the box alongside thu driver , and we were driven toward the wharf. Presently the carriage stopped agiiin.thu sad-faced man again opened the door , and boloru I knew what to do 1 found myself literally horne silonij by the crowd lo Iho city-hall and into a largo room which was packed by tlio inhabitants . Resistance was simply useless. 1 had been taken right oil'my feet. Yielding to neci-ssil.y , I said to thu Kad-I'ai-cd man , 'Well , i will speak for fivu minutes if you will lot me go.

We know of another who i a lit of mingled rage and despair olfercd to sell his securities at litly cents on tlu dollar. All through the country districts , ptr ticulariy in New Ktigluud , there rcsh-il on the souls of republican men , and j > ticulariy on the souls of republic , n women , the shadow of a great fear , we \ whielithe republican orators and joiirn alists had for so many years Jillcd tin- air. How deep this shadow was may bc estimated from thu fact that in spite f the thorough knowledge of the inai'li n- cry of their own government posses-o.1 by republicans , vast numbers of them were thoroughly persuaded that a dem ocratic president would , in some manner , suddenly lower tin tariff nnd thus pro dueo a commercial crisis. Many of ( he i Inrgol the power of eonirress over I'- jnnlf , and the absolute inability of a pn" ident lo touch il , aseompletoly asif th- wore Frenchmen or Turks , and Imdncur read the constitution. The old gentleman who predicted the street robberies an I the gentleman who olfered to sell In- * properly at half price , had in their mind * eye a general closing of the fael'-nos brought about by some mysterious m n. of a democratic administration , the ev.i i nature of whieli they hud probably n- \ < Ihotiiilit out for thcniscves.

The result was that Republicans wiir to the polls and mounted thekstump m the aliU'ined. if not desperate and red. los frame of mind , of men who feel 1'i.n ' they arc on the eve of a battle which \ \ i dispose of both life and fortune. A lot succession of political contests condiii under such conditions would of coursi the cud have proved fatal in cou-titutt al government.

The deliverance of ( he country from this hideous nightmare during tlio past year is , wu do not hesitate to say , a blessing only second in importance to the sup pression of the rebellion , and hardly less necessary to tlie safety , honor and wel fare of thu nation. For it all Americans , of all parties , ought at the opening of Iho new year lo bo profoundly thankful.

Nothing but actual experiment would haye suiUeed to destroy the old tradition of tliu slavery period that the southern people had interests different from or op- po-cd lo those of the North. Tin-re was in tin ; republican parly au < li".preatl be lief that if they got into power , or if : i president were elected by means of their votes , they would in some manner , which , as with regard to the power of the president over the tariff , lew examined seriously for llu < msi-i\i-s , lake inuncnso sums ol inoucy out of the treasury ouo estimate of the amount was .

How they would get hold of tins money , how Ihc.y would pcrsiu.de people to lend it lo the I'nited Stalt-s , if il were nol to be secured by taxation , and how they would manage to hi\c : the taxation borne r by the north exclusively and nol by Iho south , was w-vi-r explained , and proba bly few people ever asked themselves. The phrase , "llio Confederacy again in in the saddle , " was in I'aol considered n snllicii'iit answer ( o all cynical dumnmU for minute particulars. L Moreover , although it was tlie pridu and boast of the republican party that the war had destroyed shivery , and al though it was -animal ( article in Ihu re publican cnvd that it was shivery which made thcsoulh hostile to the union , ncv- orlholi-s-s until last year the fact that slavery was really dead was never thor oughly brought home lo the minds of thu voier.s. Very much like thu man who still feels pains in thu leg lie has lost by amputation , the party still felt the pangs of the old south in their bones , and noth ing Inil u democratic triumph would over have relieved them. In imagination of multitudes , the Yanceys , thu Rhutts , the UrooKsus , and all the other liru eaters were still l > randi-.liing their plantation whips , and preaching thu degrada tion of labor , and threatening dissolution for thu siiko of the peculiar institution.
