As a contributor to the uiirly history of Nebraska Air. ( it-re is a success ; as u brevet commissioner of railroads ho is bonicth'mg worse than a farce. VAUIXPINI : has issued his manifesto against Sparks , who , ho says , "has got togivo way. " When Spaiks hears this Iio will ask who Valentino is. SNOW may obscure Iho real estate , but it can't freo/c out Iho real estate dealers. Transfers in Omaha continue to pile in faster than the snow piles up. Ii : Lussr.iy has said that he will live to Rail through the. I'unnnm canal. He is eighty years old , is the father of an in fant , and evidently expects to Jivoto be a hundred years old. Ir another iuoh or two of snow had fallen last night wo. would havohad anoth- crrailroad blockade. The Nebraska rail- rondt. are very poorly equipped to light snow , and the least Hurry para ly/.cs thorn. Kx-Goviit\ou : SAM KIKKWOOD , of Iowa , is said to be worth $7/5,000. / If honest Sam had "taken advantage of his opportunities" with the lobby while in the senate ho might easily huvo been a millionaire. Tin : cable announces that the now French minister of agriculture has"never soon a plow. Ho must be a , first cousin to the departed Lo Due , who used to pre side over the department of garden sass in Washington and whoso experiments in raising tea in lUaiuo were Mtch a dis astrous failure. Any man who will deliberately .sell Intoxi cating Illinois to young ininois is an open nml damretous enemy to the home and to so ciety , am ! ought to bo spurned from all le- spcctablo associations as a moral outlaw. Hernia. What docs the Doctor moan ? Is ho trying to drive the "Lccder"of his "hou- cst six , " out of the community ? "Tho use of oil in storms at sea , " says the Chicago Jfcralil , "could never have boon suggested by the experience of the democrats in Ohio , for over since they used it on polities they have found things rougher than over. " It would take moro oil than the Pennsylvania petroleum wells produce to quiet the factional waves of the stormy sea of Nebraska democ racy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ AKTII : : denouncing Iho law and order loagno it is very gratifying to learn that the Herald finds something lo commend in it. That reform crank wants to have every man who allows young boys in his saloon first fined and then .sent to .jail. If Dr. Miller's prescription was strictly administered by the police court , there would only bo five "honest councilmen loft" to brand Ciimmings as an outlaw. Tin : demand for hot stoves in the Omaha street car.s has been loud and lusty , but upon second sober thought wo have conic to the conclusion that u stove in iv street car is simnly a village custom. If the street cars should bo heated by flteiun pipes it would bo all right , but ft Stove takes up too much room iu n city street car which is liable to bo crowded during the greater portion of the day. Wo would again suggest that the street car company furnish the passengers either with hot bricks and Hat-irons , or hot whisky punches. Tut : difloronco iu the bids for the via duct turns out , as intimated , to bo duo to the dilVuroiicu in the character of the structure proposed , Kaeh bidder has his' own plan , which only conforms to the . epcolllciitlons in regard to length and width. Some of the proposed viaducts are very ornamental and elaborate in detail - tail , others are simple bridges to span * * the tracks , It will depend entirely upon the board of public works and the rail road companies to decide which of the tunny plans will bo most convenient and most suitable for connection with the railroad and street crossings , assuming that all urn strong enough and substan tial enough for the purpose for which they are intended. Dn , Mii.uii : now calls for special grand jury. If the grand jury had made thorough investigation of bribery , per jury nnd corruption in the mugwump cltf/ens' campaign of last spring , thcro would have been no need of calling for n grand jury now , so far as Cnmmings is concerned. That wholesale debauchery of voters is not yet outlawed , and if u grand jury does convene , it will llnd a good many candidates for , striped cloth ing , Let it bo understood that wo do aot throw this suggestion out lo prevent ft legal inquiry into the Travis case , On the contrary , wo want to see a investi gated by sixteen good men and true , pro- Tiding always that the maypr will keep jjita hands oil' , nnd a jumpinir-jack like jit Ford is not nmdu foreman. rant MnlU nnd Rlow Oonohca. Omaha derives no benefit from the fast mnil , nnd if HIP contract was made with a view of giving Omaha the bent-lit of nil improved service , the money has been thrown away. Wo proMitnc , however , that this is strict I ; } a Chicago enterprise , and that city in some respects derives an advantage from it by reaching some lo calities east of the Missouri outlier than by the regular trains. Senator Marnier- foil' ? effort to have it n\tonded over the Union Pacific westward may be in the in terests of economy if it is intended to ap ply the extra earnings for expediting the mail to the payments of debt due the government , lint there is no fa' I mail we t of the Mi ouri , and there can hone no pretence that thcie is one. The tiains that carry the mails run on regular schedule , which probably ias as , lovv as would be tolerated on any system of railroads pretending to carry pnsscn- KITS. There being no fast mail west of the Missouri , wo cannot comprehend why any e\trn allowance should bo made for expediting. It strikes us that Iho whole fast mail bu lue"s between Chicago nnd I he Mi- souri river could ho profitably abandoned. What the postmaster general should do is to induce the roads between Chicago and the Mi onri river to run faster passenger trains. It now takes from twenty to fwentj-one hours for the fastest passen ger trains lo make the trip between Chicago cage nnd Omaha , a distance of r > 00 miles. The grades tmi easy , the lines straight , and the country level. The Haltimoro A ; Ohio runs regular trains fioin Washing ton to Chicago , , a distance of inwly 1)00 ) miles , in twenty-four hours. The road traverses mountains , erodes innumerable bridges , plunges through tunnels , and turns numberless horseshoe curves with perfect safety. There is no good reason why a train between Chicago and Omaha should not run on a schedule of from sixteen to seventeen hours. Such trains leaving Chicago at 10 p. in. , as they now do , which gives ample time for the collection of all commercial mails , would reach Omaha about three in the afternoon of the next day. If they should start at nine they would get hero at 2 p. UK , giving postolllcedistribution all along the line west of the Mississippi , iu broad daylight and enabling our moiohaiits to reply on the same day. Such a train would bo of greater advantage to the traveling public and to the people all along the line than any fast mail. The daylight morning trains out of Chicago , going west , do not accommodate any one except the publishers of Chicago dailies. No merchant will sit up all night to write a letter , and no traveler wants to bo aroused at such an unseasonable hour. The trains west of the Missouri would get the Chicago commercial mail by such a train sooner or just as soon as they now get it. There are trains out of Omaha going west after 1 o'clock which would give ample time for transfer and oven leave a margin for delayed trains. A Great Ghcss Tournament. New Yorker.s are excited over the great chess match which is now in progress in that city between , T. H. Xukertoit , of London , and William Steinitu , of Now York , liolh players have a world-wide reputation. Zukcrlort is a Hussian by birth and Stoinit/ an Austrian. They are considered Iho strongest players liv ing and the ablest since the death of Paul Murphy. They are also evenly matched , their meetings on previous occasions be ing with varying le.sults. SlcinilK was iirs.1 in thu London tournament of 1872 and Xukertort third , and in another match the same year Stoinitx won seven games and his antagonist one , while four were drawn. Znkortort won one game from Steinitz in the Vienna tournament of 18S3 and ono was drawn , and at the London tournament the follow ing year Xnkertort was lirst and the Aus trian second. Steinitx won sixteen games in succession at the Vienna tourna ment of 1ST ! ! , the greatest run on record. The men will play at New York till ono has won four games , when they will ad journ to St. Louis and finish the match at New Orleans. They use the board on which Morphy played his match game * of 1857 and 1858 , and their stake is $1,000 and the championship of the world. T. V. POWDKHLV , general master work man of the Knights of Labor , in predict ing better time.s within the no\t twelve months , and a better understanding be tween laborers and manufacturers , took occasion to say : "I find men who are cranky , obstinate and unreasonable , both on the side of Iho employer and employe , arc men who very seldom road the MOWS- paporo. If cverylabore.r and every man ufacturer would read dally a good paper and keep posted on the topics of the times , I feel certain thcro would bo less trouble. " This is good advice , and comes from a man who knows what ho is talk ing about. Tin : bill introduced by Mr. Miilard of Now York , to pension railway postal clerks who become disabled in the per formance of their duty in rv measure which commends itself at once as just and equitable. There is no reason why an employe of the railway mail service disabled while on government duty should not bo placed on an equality with a soldier so far as pensions are concerned , Mr. Mlllaid'flhill is drafted for the benefit of ono of the hardest working classes of employes in the civil service \\liosu duties aru performed amid special dangers of accidents. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tin : Herald denies Unit it lias "inti mated" that Mr. Clark stands ready to build the Omaha & Northern , but drops a hint that ho is the man for the job. Very good. Omaha will cheerfully auplaud any move of Mr , Clark in this direction , Wo want moro railroad facilities ami shall not bo particular who allbrds them , provided always the "donation" question is kept in the far distant background. Mn. LAMAK oxprcs-.es the opinion that the Dell telephone patent question should bo investigated by u judicial body , and the proceedings should bo conducted in Iho name of the government , This opin ion will bo generally endorsed by the people. If the patent could bo over throv.n it would bo n great public benefit , as the Hell ring is ono of the greatest monopolies of the ago , and its charges are outrageously exorbitant. Tin : roller-skating rink is being vigor ously denounced from the pulpit , but the most practical warfare upon this worldly aninsoiuunt has just boon inaugurated in Omaha , by the Congregational church so ciety , which huj taken possession of the onlj rink iu the city nnd converted it into a house of worship. The example is j worthy of imitation in all thoc cities where the rink is denounced as an im- moial imstitution. HAnxo dipo < cd of the gas question the pnmbcrs and iec men should now bo made to toe the chalk mark. An agita tion against the charge ? of these public benefactor'- as safe as a raid on the Mormons. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

The eleventh parliament under the rule of Victoria opened on Tuesday at West minister for the election of a speaker and the swearing in of the members. The chief incident noted in connection with Tne. dii.vs . ceremonies was the admission of Itradlaugti to his seat , unmolested by the majority which had so often before ejected him. He took the oath without objection , and chose his "cat among the radical independents. The Irish delega tion failed to make their appearance , their intention as announced being to comn over in a bed > for the lir t lime at the opening ceremonial on the llilh , when the queen will declare parliament coin cued. Until that date all theorizing on piospectivo legislation i meicspeculatiou. The .ses sion promises to bo either ono of tlm most itnpoitant ever held oroncof the shortest. IJoth parties threaten a second appeal to the countr.v , and both shrink from it as nn election is always unpopular in the rank and file of all parties , owing to the great expense attending it and the dan gers of the forced retirement of candidates to private life. The fever and ill-feeling that followed the recent election is giving place to u very serious concern in all the political groups. Morley's speech at Clemsford favoring first more land legislation in Ireland , and then an Irish parliament and the exclusion of the Iiisli from thu national parliament was the feature of last week's novr.s ; the failure of Lord 1'au- dolpli Churchill to swing the lory cabi net around to a home rule bails being a fitting background to the radical posi tion. Sc veral lory speakers last week offered to support Lord Harrington as premier if lie would take a decided stand against the demands of the Parnellites. This is the boldest bid made yet by the conservatives for a whig-lory coalition. * * * The new French cabinet must bo con sidered upon the whole a conce.-sion to Clemenccau and the radicals. M. dob- let , minister of public instruction , who hold the same position in the last cabinet , was a friend of Gambetta , and hilteily has been charged with a decided leaning toward Cloinencean. The selection of Kdouard Loekroy. the journalist , as min ister of commerce and industry , is cer tainly a radical victory. M. Loekroy has passed moro time in prison at various times than in the chamber of deputies , ho having a genius for the kind of rhetoric that offends against the law. M. Cranct , minister ol posts and tuK'sriipli- a oui > porter of Clemonccuu. M. Aubc , minis ter of marine and colonies , opposes a progressive colonial policy as fully as the average radical , but his peculiar views are of less consequence now that DoFroy- cinot has answered u popular demand and transferred the control of Anam , Cam bodia and Madagascar from the marine olliee to the department of foieign affairs. Ho might also have well added the Congo. It is only a few weeks since Do Brax/u left Paris for Homo in disgust because the ministry of the marine held such power over the Congo. Do Froycinot , having Madagascar and Tonquin under his personal supervision , will be better able to stand between the aggressive Fcroitcs and the radicals , and to light as best he may for political existence. The success of the English in Burinah has done something to cool oft" the rad icals. And still the fact that the radicals have had their own way in the make-up of thu cabinet shows that the distrust of national possessions in foreign parts is more than the whim of a moment. " News from the cast is not reassuring , though all the great powers are working with pretended zeal to allay the unquiet of the smaller states. The attempt of Greece to foment further disturbance has boon followed by warnings from Kugland that she has no claims for territorial ex'- pansion nt the expense ofTurkoy. The portc has called upon Greece to disband her army to prevent sin outbreak of hos tilities , and r. collective note from the powers has summoned Sorvia , Bulgaria and Greece to disurm , promising that Turkey will follow their example. Meanwhile - while Prince Alexander and the porto have como to an understanding on the follow ing conditions : That the union of the Bulgarias bo reoogni/cd by the potto ; that the Bulgarian army bo at the dis posal of Turkey in the event of war with Greece or Sorvia ; that tribute bo paid regularly to the porto ; that the customs rights of the porto be maintained , nnd that Prince Alexander go to Constanti nople to bo invested with the governor ship of Eastern Houniolia. * . Germany is steadily pursuing her policy of colonial aggrandisement. The last acquisition is that of the Samoan islands on the Pacific , whoso seizure was reported early in Iho week. Bismarck's colonial policy dlfloiwndicully from that of the other European countries in that It does not set up an administration like that of England in Burmah or Franco in Ton- cjuin , which opens up a multitude of olliccs for sinecures and consumes the revenue. The Gorman oflleescckor will not bo any happier because of tho.open ing up of now colonies. Bismarck's plan is to make the colonies commercial rather than political , and to leave the active government of them to the trading com- panics , who have agreed to develop their resources , the umpire itself throwing its protection about thorn. Lively debates arc expected soon in the Gorman roiehstng. It is reported , and is probable , thr.t Prince Bismarck will scok to renew his repressive laws against socialists ; to carry thiough bis plan for giving the government n monopoly of the liquor traffic , nnd to silcnco discussion on the disagreeable question of the expul sion of the 50,000 Poles from Prussia. Thcro are also colonial schemes to bo considered. The chancellor has not a sure majority ut his back , and it is not unlikely that ho will bo defeated in some of his projects , nnd provoked to angry re torts by hostile criticism. Fortunately for him clf , if not ) for Germany , ho i not n "responsible" minister in the KnglUl 'cnscof the tcrim , * The success of China in defending her self from French invasion added not onH anew military power to the world , bill will probably be followed by the appear ance of China among the nations which have a national tlcbt and credit. The Chinc'c government has nltcady since the war ordered four new iron steam ships of Knglish and German ship-build * crs and machine guns and other tnililaiy stores. She has leaiucd the weak points of her situation and has set about repair ing thorn. While this govornmciitapprc- ciatcs the value of railroads , it is not dis posed to embark in va t systems sub- sidi/ing corporations of foreign railroad buildeis. It favors railroads owned wholly by the government and for this ptnposo will raise loans pel haps both at home and abroad. Hut the Chinese mind is shrewdly commeicfal and in tensely conservative ; the Chinese know thai these gical institutions of civill/.a tion must grow and cannot bo built in a day. 'J'he ChincM-government , it is bo llevcd , will begin with short railroad lines along the ionics where they are most needed and expand them as Iheir development scorns to justify. For this purpose they will employ for eign engineers and contractors. * * It has been an easy task for England to break down the organi/cd power of Bur- malt , but Iho complete subjugation and pacification of that country is proving a much moro dillicult matter. The warrior race of the region , the Dacoit-s , aru main taining an irregular warfare of pillage and murder which is keeping the British forces in very hot water. These natural robbers lind it much easier to dodge a few thousand British troops than it was to escape King Thecbaw's moro numerous soldiers , even though the latter were utterly imablo to cope with General PendcrgastS litlle army. Many ol Iho bravest and most spirited of the Burmese have undoubtedly augmented the num bers of the Dacoits , and the British can hope for little help from the natives in chasing down the hostile bands which harrass them.

In the winter of 18GI-2 lie was a depart ment commandci with headquarters at St. Louis , with Ihe rank of major gen- oral. Grant , leeeutly appointed a biigndier. commanded a small force nt Cairo. I'aducuh , Ky , at Ihe intellection ol the Tennessee with the Ohio , ho deemed an impntlnul slragetic pointand asked llalleek's permission to capture before it could be fortified bj the enemy , lieeeiving no n'ply he wrote the ilepail- ment commander thai if no outers to the contrary weie received bv aceitain hour lie would conclude tl'oio v\ns no ob jection In the move and would at once make Iliu attempt. At the expiration of Unit lime , failing lo receive or.lors , he attacked I'aducah , eaplmed the place and leaving ( ion. C. F. Smith in pos session returned lo Cairo and then re ceived word tiom Halleek that he might I'aducah "if he proceed against thought he was strong enough. " Then the expedition against Fort Henry was planned and sueeessfull.v car ried out by Grant who notified llallcek of his victory ami , fm Iher , that ho pro- po cd to at once lollow the Hying enemy to Fort Donelsontwelve miles dis tant. This he did , invcMed Donelson be fore reinforcements could be sent down from Nashville b. } Gen Sidney Johnston , and then icceived directions from Hal- leek "to remain at Fort Henry and to foitifyon the side towards Doiielsou. " for which purpose intrenching tools would be al once forwarded. 'Ihose orders caino too lale , however , and two iln.vs afterwards J oneNon , witli its 18,01)0 ) prisoners and valuable stores fell into our hands. The news Hashed northw.iid over the wires and was received with Ihe wildest expressions of jo.v b ) the people. Igiioiingentirely Ihc man wh'j had ac complished this great work Ilalleck tele graphed to Washington doniaiuliiij * that C. F. Smith , whoso divisions had made the linal assault upon tlm rebel works bo made a major general ; telegraphed Gen. Hunter that the success at Donelson was due chiell.v to the piomplness with which ( loops had been sent forward by Hunter ; published at St. Louis : i congratulatory address to the union forces at Donelson , but never a line or a vyord of recognition " was sent to the quid , modest "hero to whose skill and ability tlio great victory was indebted , Heali/ing Hie importance of occupying Clarksvillc and Nashville ut once and forcing an evacuation of Ihose nlacos ! > y the enemy , Grant telegraphed immedi ately alter the tall of Donelson that if not directed otherwise he would send a ioiee up the Cumberland lo Ihose points , nude's ( Jen. Smith , laying before Gen. Halleck the importance of the movement. No answer was received ; the plan was car ried out and Ihc eapilnl of Tennessee full into our hands withouteo ing : lisa sin-lo lite. For this service Grant was severely censured by llalleek , on the 1th of March , ISO. . ' , was placed under arrest by Hal- leek's older , and the command of the ex pedition lliun organi/.ing for operations on Ihe Tennessee river given to Gen. C. F. Smith. A week later Grant was restored lo command and within a month Shiloh was fought and won by him. Following his former tactics which hud proven so suc cessful Grant wanted to at once to- organise his army of about 80,000 men and pursue the enemy to Corinth and al- lack uoforo he could fortify , but therein was overruled by Ilalleck who had taken the field in person , and who then wasted a month in approaching Corinth by slow degrees , covering Iho face ot the earth with fortifications as ho advanced. Corinth was evacuated by Beanrcgard on the t'.Oth of May without the loss of a man or a pound of supplies. Grant , then wanted to take the magnificent army gathered at Corinth and opoii the Mis sissippi river , but was again overruled by Ilalleck and had lo submit to seeing the union forces scattered iu every direction. Gen. Halleck was then ordered to of all the Washington as gonoral-in-chief union armies. MeClellan , after bloody buttlin" and severe inarching , had eslab- Ijshcd his army m a commanding posi tion on the .lames river , fully occupying the attention of the large army com manded by Leo in front of Kichmond. The army of Virginia was organised and placed under command of I'ope. It was moving southward with every prospect of a successful campaign and with only a small lebol force in trout , when Hal- leek ordered MeClellan to abandon Ins position , secured at such frightful cost , and shi ] > his army around by vessel to the rolomao. This loft Leo's army wilh nothing lo do as a truant for Richmond , and it very promptly marched out of its trenches , fell upon L'opo , routed his com mand , and moved up to Harper's Ferry , capturing that important point with Us ton thousand men and stores nnd war munitions of immense valuo. The in vasion of Maryland and the battle of Antiolam followed immediately , and then Iho confederate forces returned to Richmond mend with increased piestigo and an abundance of supplies ol clothing , rations and war material.

Sherman swept down on Atlanta , Ga. , und captured it , compelling the MII render ol .Savannah , wilh its sAtemi million dollar's worth of cotton and three him- Jred pieces of artillery as a lilting end ing to that famous march to tin sea , then ulvancing lluoniili South Carolina ami North Corolina , no captured the capitals ; if both these states and pursued thu mut iny underI JJ Johnston so oloselj that ; ho hitler sued lor peace.

This brief narration of events goes to show that the services rendered the conn try during the war by Gen , Halleek were not sneh as might have been cxpoeled of him and it would .seem a safe assertion to claim that if Gen Grant had occupied the position in the Wesl which Gen. Hal leek did , there would have been no necessity for a seige at Vieksburg , that the bailies of ( oiinth , Chattanooga Lookout mountain , Nashville , 1'iatiktin and thoie at omul Atlanta would have never been loughl and thai the war would have ended iiHStt : ' . .
