Mit. ADAMS llndsOmahaa very healthy

wretched depot accommodations and ob
structed connections with the cas t.
WHY can't Van Wyck do sonicthins ;
that will not ofl'ciul the sensitive soul of
tlio Picskvvickiun young man who edits
the Dotiglns street "Lunch Counter" ?
PitcsiDRNT ADAMS may say what ho
pleases to inquisitive reporters about his
litter ignorance of the intentions of tlio
Union Pacilic with regard to depots ,
headquarters and locaJ connections. But
wo imagine that ho still has some influ
ence with Mr. Callaway anil his staff.
President Lincoln once protested when
somebody asked him for an oflico that ho
had no inlluonco witli the administration.
President Charles Francis Adams still has
'some ' inlluoncu witli tlio Union Pacilic.
THE property owners along south Six
teenth street luivo vor.v promptly sub
scribed tlio funds necessary to pay the
damages assessed by reason of the con
struction of the now viaduct. This set
tles the question of the speedy erection
of the structure which is to give Omalta
the shortest line to the stock yards and is
to continue to the city limits one of its
most important retail thoroughfares.
The building of the viaduct will at once
raise values from 0110 end of Sixteenth
street to the other.
OMAHA , boasts of no artificial boom ,
but she continues to grow steadily and
substantially. The numerous handsome
buildings and the thousands of dwellings
that are being erected , tiio grading , curb-
lug and paving of the streets , the building -
ing of the viaduct , the construction of
the bolt line , the proposed cable line ,
the steady influx of now business firms ,
wholesale and retail , the building of now
packing houses at the South Omaha
stock yards , and a hundred other enter
prises , all contributing to the wealth and
population , are some of the evidences of
the growth and prosperity of Omaha.
Tni : cable line will bo welcomed Din
Omaha and liberal inducements will bo
offered the company to inagurato the sys
tem. But the managers should not ask for
the earth. The city has some interests at
atako which it is the duty of the council
to protect. Rales of faro should bo reg
ulated and there certainly ought to bo
guarantees of a minimum number of
trips to bo run and distance traveled. If
right of way is to bo given over the now
viaduct the company should bo called
upon to contribute towards its mainten
ance. Of course they would como under the
name restrictions us the street ear com
pany in regard to street paving mid
maintenance of pavements. Them Is a
general tendency throughout the coun
try to ref use any moru donations of rights
of way whlcii are extremely valuable
privileges , If the cable company secures
these upon certain specified routes they
should bo satisfied to abide by reasona
ble restrictions which will assure the
public a fair return for the franchise.
IT uover ranis but it pours. It is so

port almost every pound of Iron for build
ing purposes and at least a quarter of a
million dollars a year went to foundries
in Chicago , St. Louis , Indianapolis and
clsowhoro , Now wo have a very com
plete foundry and architectural iron
works , with the assurance of another
much larger establishment in the very
near future. This is only the beginning
of the manufacturing era. Five years
lienco wo Vill bo able not only to turn
out all the work of this kind wo need in
Omaha , but to supply the whole region
west of the Missouri. In the matter
of jobbing houses , Omaha is on the eve
' of as great an incrcaso as was made at
Minneapolis and St. Paula few years tigo ,
One of these cities added seventy and
another ninety jobbing houses in a blnglo
year , The only trouble is that wo have
not buildings enough to accommodate
Jobbers who want to locate. Twenty or
twenty-live six story buildings could bo
rented at food figures this boason. Our
capitalists \villfiml.a very safe place for
their .money iu solid stone-briek'

Tlio President's
The message of President Cleveland
upon the existing labor trouble is chiefly
interesting as an evidence of the national
importance Mtalncd by the present dis
turbance in the relations of capital and la
bor , The president calls the attention of
congress to the subject ns a "serious and
pressing" one , so serious that ho feels
constrained to urge the passage of legis
lation to remedy the dangers which ho
believes are threatening social order and
the material interests of the nation. The
remedy which Mr. Cleveland proposes Is
voluntary arbitration through a federal
commission attached to the labor bureau ,
which shall be a permanent body at all
times to oiler its services to disputants.
Such n body Mr. Cleveland believes
would bo preferable to a local commis
sion , as It would gain m experience and
ability to adjust grievances , and would bo
more Impartial In considering disputes
which might arise.
The president' * ! suggestion iliflers only
from that of Congressman OVNoll in
making the commission a permanent
body of federal olUce-holdors witli head
quarters at Washington , while Mr.
O'Ncil's bill calls for local eommisiions
with the power of federal courts , lo be
called together at places wliero disturb
ances mav arise , lioth bodies are to have
no power of ( iiifoicing their decisions.
Their judgments are to bo nothing more
than opinions upon the questions sub
mitted , which either side may disregard
ut will. Herein lies the Haw in both pro
positions.
Voluntary arbitration sounds well ,
but the only arbitration which will prove
cll'ectivo in the adjustment of great
disputes , such as those which are now se
riously injuring the country , is an arbi
trament which will carry the means of
enforcing its decisions with it. The ob
jection that constitutional restrictions
stand in the way of such a method of
bcttlcment can bo removed. If the gov
ernment has no right to deal with such
questions now it should be given the
right. Sixty millions of people will take
the view that if there is no constitutional
remedy for the disastrous complications
which railroad management and railroad
strikes have developed , some remedy
must be provided. Voluntary arbitra
tion may do for questions of local import
ance , but where the whole internal
commerce of the land is affected and
every day of disturbance means hundreds
of thousands of dollars of loss to the na
tion , a moro effective means must bo
sought.
MnplcRon tlio Humbug.
Omaha is to bo spared the infliction of
an alleged operatic performance- that
prince of humbugging impressarios ,
Colonel Mapleson. Aside from hearing -
ing Minnie Hank , Omaha can congratu
late herself that the doughty colonel's
creditors in the west have relieved her
from the cloud of profanity which would
surely have floated over the city after the
proposed performance of Saturday. . The
troupe virtually wont to pieces in San
Francisco , many of the best sing
ers loft in disgust for the
east , and those who remained did
so principally for the reason that their
salaries were in arrears and the railroad
companies declined to transport passen
gers on credit. Col. J. II. Mapleson is
roundly cursing his bad luck , lie thinks
the American people unapprcciativc , and
attributes his financial disaster lo tlio
ignorance of Iho public. As a mailer of
facl , Mapleson lias killed himself and
Italian opera in this country by his fail
ure to keep faith with the public and his
outrageous treatment of his troupes.
Now York Ihrcw him out bodily
ily last fall. Ho had humbugged
them for several seasons , broken
his contracls with the Academy of Music
directors , cheated the public with troupes
composed of a fow'good stars and mis
erable support , with a background of
wretched soenory and worn-out operas.
His record has boon one of daily quarrels
with creditors , lights with deputy sher
iffs , disputes with managers and hotel
proprietors , wrangles with employes and
cursings from an outraged public.
Omaha necil feel no regret at missing
another opportunity for denouncing him
as a fraud of tlio first water.
Other IjaiiilH Thau Ours.
Tlio homo rule campaign has boon
transferred from the benches of parlia
ment to the halls of the various cilios
and boroughs , whore liberals , radicals
and lories uro haranguing their con
stituencies upon Iho proposed measures
for Irish reform. The meetings held und
called since the adjournment of parlia
ment on Monday are already numerous.
The managers of the liberal party arousing
using all their efforts primarily to arrest
the process of party disruption. Dread
of this impending catastrophe has already
modified the tone of several liberal papers ,
which are now disposed to accept Mr.
Gladstone's proposals rather than risk
political ruin. This and other
things greatly oncourngo the Glad-
stonians , who already proclaim the con
viction that the country will como round
to their side. Cooler heads think Iliac
the data for a decisive opinion are still
wanting , The line the caucus now seems
inclined to take is pretty clearly indicated
iu the attempt to rally liberals once moro
by the magio of Mr. Gladstone's numu
rather than on thu merits of the present
homo-rule policy. Many liberal associa
tions show themselves ready to indorse
both , Many advocate the second read
ing of the ministerial bills , while not
pledging themselves to the details. This
last declaration h the most the liberal
whips really hopn to secure ,
ypjno inmnbors * of Iho house
believe in the 'possibility of
carrying some Irish measure involving
largo concessions , yet not largo enough
to satisfy Mr , Pariiell. II is curtain thai
no such measure will bo accepted by Mr ,
Gladstone , or carried while his ministry
is in olliue. Mr. Uavilt's speech in Glas
gow is a singular comment on Mr. Glad
stone's theory that homo rule in the pres
ent form will bo a finality. Mr. Uavitt
being asked whether the Irish would bo
frutislied , roplicd thatil was no reason because -
cause a man had breakfast that ho should
not have dinner and supper. The
opposition in Scotland still continues.
Scotland has been for a year a source of
anxiety to the liberal loaders. During
the campaign last autumn the Scotch
liberal press received Mr. Gladstone's
northern speeches very coldly. They re
fused to believe the premier when ho
denied that there was any possibility of
making disestablishment a live issue in
parliament. The Scotch liberals revolted
at first when the proposed Dublin
parliament was announced , but re
pented ; and now they are all
over the fences again on land expropria
tion. The Glasgow chamber of commerce
passed a vole on Monday denouncing Iho
land purchase measure , and Mr. Glad
stone's trip to the "northern capital"
will not bo any child's play. After say
ing all that can be said in explanation of
the Scotch coldness toward the govern
ment on the ground of high patriotism ,
it must bo confessed that Caledonia ap
pears to bo moved bj a clannish fear that
she is being left out in the cold on land
reform.
%
Greece seems determined to precipitate
war with Turkey and to do'.v the powers.
The lirst clash of arms took place on
Tuesday , when an alleged attempt on the
part of the Turks to cross thn neutral
line was repulsed by the Greek troops
who captured two of their guns. There
seems little doubt that the powers
interfere at once. Germany and Kng-
land arc agreed on a policy of armed in
tervention. Resolute action by all the
powers would put an end to tlio Greek
demonstration. They would blockade
the Pnuriis , and if necessary take posses
sion of Athens. Greece would then bo
forced lo mibinit to superior force , and
give guarantee to keep the peace. ISnl
the powers naturally shrink from bully
ing by combined strength a kingdom lee
puny lo cope with the weakest of them.
The mortifying position m which Greece
finds herself would bo changed , but per
haps the elements of ridicule and chagrin
might be transferred to themselves. Besides -
sides , there is certain sympathy for
Greece , arising from the belief that she
was not treated by Turkey In the matter
of tlio frontier as the trealy of Berlin con
templated.

Bismarck's significant remark that the
map of huropo needs revision is likely to
cause uneasiness in France , it is not
probable that Germany is especially anx
ious for any addition to the Kaiser's do
minions from French territory , but a lirm
alliance might bo made between Ger
many and Italy by coding to the latter
the Mediterranean provinces of France ,
which would nicely round off the north
Italian frontier. The bare possibility of
sueh a tiling is enough to put every
Frenchman in n cold prespiration , and
yel a partition of this kind is far from
impossible.

The Russians are determined to keep
all they have won in Asia , and are mak
ing a long step in the direction of de
fending their newly-acquired possession
north of Afghanistan by constructing n
railroad from the Caspian sea to Merv.
This achievement will put the English in
Afghanistan at a disadvantage , since the
Russians will be enabled to concentrate
troops on the northern frontier for the
disputed territory with moro readiness
than British and Indian troops can bo
marched homo hundreds of miles from
the eastern boundary. Proposals are on
foot to construct a railroad in Afghanis
tan from the Indian line to Candah r ,
and thence to Herat , but nothing has yel
been accomplished , and the Russians are
therefore still a long way ahead.

The census of the Gorman empire for
1885 , now completed , shows that there
are twonly-ono cities in Germany with a
population of over 103,000 , , an incrcaso of
seven since Hie census of 1880 , when
there were but fourteen citiesof thai size.
Berlin leads Ihe list , having a population
of 1,310,333 , , an increase of about 200,000
since 1880. Dtissoldorf shows the largest
percentage ot increase , having now 1M-
451 inhabitants , against 05,158 at the last
census , a gain of a little over
19 per cent. The quaint city
of Nuremberg seems to have
taken a now lease of life , and lias added
over 16,000 , to her population in the last
live years , having now 110,193 inhabit
ants. Even in Strassburg , in the "cap
tive" province of Alsace , the numbers
have grown from 101,000 in 1800 to 112- ,
OCO in 1885. The whole empire has added
about 0,000,000 to its population since
1871 , the year ot its formation. A com
parison witli the latest estimates , only
partially official , of other European coun
tries shows that Germany is increasing
in population much moro rapidly Hum
any of them except Russia. This , too ,
in spite of the strong tide of emigration.

The favorable report of a committee of
the French chamber of deputies upon
the Panama Canal company's application
for permission to issue lottery bonds to
amount lo $120,000,000 indicates that the
French government has decided to sup
port M. do Lesseps in that mailer.
If M. Rosscau has submitted a re
port upon which such action can reason
ably bo based it bhould be given to llio
public. It is worthy of notice that the
movement for this huge lottery loan
promises to bo successful just at the time
when the government is about to ask the
French people for a loan of $300,000,000.
It is said , moreover thai the Credit Fonder
der maj' al any moment undertake to
place lottery bonds for $150,000,000 or
$200,000,000. The savings of frenchmen
will soon bo in great demand. If the
canal company should gam its point now ,
with a great national loan impif.ling ,
its success would indicate a willingness
on the part of the government to support
the enterprise at any cost.

Cleveland has been a constant and
fnithlul lilend to mother nnd daughter
ever since thn death ot his
old filend nnd pattncr. Ho 1ms
regarded the caic of Miss Folsom as n life

woman , nnd her lile has not been without
its lomaiiec. She Is tali , and has n splendidly
moulded lot m , giacetul caniagc , beautiful
leatuic.s , and . \\ealtli of daik , almost black ,
hnlr , and above nil she has a most amiable
disposition , which makes her a invoiito with
everybody. In 13711 , when she was only 15
years old , she was voted the most beautiful
lady at nn 'authors' carnival' In Bullalo , at
which 15uoo votes were cast , her plurality
amounting almost to amajoilty over nil com

Fulford'B Reminiscence of Early
Duys in Nevada.
"I knew Mark Twain nnd Dan do Quilla
years ago in Viiglnia City , Nevada , " said
Hobeit Fulford , the husband of charming
Annie Pixlcy , while ho was in Omaha with
his company the other day. " 1 have forgot
ten Dan de Qitillo's right name , but ho was
then considered nmiieh blighter nnd wittier
man than Snm Clemens , and I think he is
yet. Bui Clemens had n natural shrewdness
tor turning to his own nceount tlio western
wit that ho picked up among the minors and
printeisof Viiginia City , Ho saw that his
supply of western incidents would take In
the east , and bo easily converted Into
money. Ho tried the cxpeiimcnt , and
succeeded. He is a natural-born
money maker an excellent business
man. Dan do Quillo lacks those qualities
which have made Clemens a very wealthy
man. Dan deQuillc is considered the best
aiithoiity on mining in the western country.
He has had tempting offers , In yeais past , to
connect himselt with eastern newspapers ,
but ho always declined them. 1 was n printer
in Virginia City In those days nnd wns get
ting 81.25 per thousand. It was a poor
printer who couldn't make S125 to S150 pet-
week. We lived like princes. Those vveie
royjl days indeed. I was one of
the party who put up a job of
highway robbery on Clemens by way
of a practical joke , but ho couldn't take
n joke like that , nnd treated Itlnaseiious
manner. Ho tells the story in his 'Koughlug
It. ' Ho never forgave us for It. 1 went down
to San Francisco and bettypo for a while at
75 cents a thousand. The boys , however ,
kicked because n certain amount of 'pliat'
was taken away liom them , and wont out on
a strike. They hud foigotten that the mil-
road had been completed , nnd In n few days
the town was filled with 'rats , ' who took
their places. 1 never set another typo but
went on the stage , and have been n theatrical
limn ever since. I went through all the min
ing camps with n small company , traveling
in wagons , and carrying a stage and scenery
with us. Wo made a mint of money in those
days , and had heaps of fun. I remember one
veiy nmiiilng incident Indeed , One of our
actors , while changing his clothes In a corner
nnd behind a curtain , fell oil" the stage In full
vui.v of tlio audience. He Imd nothing on
but his shirt , and the shout that went up
Irom the crowd was deafening. The poor
Fellow prowled under the stnce , and wo lilted
up a plank and rescued him behind the drop-
curtain. " _
A IK ! | Jajinneho Funeral ,
"I was rending an interesting account of a
high -toned Japanese wedding the otlicrday , "
Mild Mr. C. 11. Dewey , "but It was not ns In-
torestlng to mo as the descilption of a big
Japanese fnnciul which was told to mo while
1 wa3 111 Japan. It wns the hineral of Mr.
Ivvasakl i'ntnio , In Toklo , sometjiing over n
pear ngo. Ho was n voiy lich man. His
rise Irom a comparatively poor man to tlio
lank of perhaps the wealthiest and most en-
; ei prising citUcn of the empire In t hit shoit
jpacoof thirteen yeais made him n noted
iliaiacter. Less than thirteen years ngo
10 was the owner of only thice
steamers , but when ho died ho left
i fleet of foity. It was hu who
( tinted tl'O ' great Mltsu Bishl steamship
; ompany , nnd purchased the lirst steamers of
: he Pacific ; Mail Steamship company plying
en years ago between Yokohama , Kobe ,
S'agaskl and Shanghai. He gave employ
ment to about live hundred foreigners of nil
jatloiuilltiesnnd ten thousand of his own
iountrymcn. His funeial was the largest ever
cnovui In Japan. A company of mounted po-
icy headed the cortege. Kolloning tliesetauie
the bearers ot numerous largo banncri with
appropriate inscriptions. Then came live
hundred men carrying recs which were
planted on the burial ground. The tree-
bearers were clad In robes of white , which Is
the inourulm : color of the country. Closn to
the hearse were fifty Chinese priests.
Some of the high priests wcio
on horse-back nnd some In car
riages. A land of musicians piodiiccdtlio
most lamentable music from Japanese Instru
ments. The liwirso was made of whlto pine ,
nnd was borne bv thirty men , robed In white.
Over the collln wns the uniform of the de-
censed , who had the title of commodore.
Close behind the hcnrse came the eldest son
of the deceased , clothed In white nnd bearing
a trny with ollerlnps for the depnited soul of
his father. Then followed nil the ncnr rein-
lives nnd best liiends , nmong them belni ; tlio
nobility of Toklo. followed by foreign ft lends
and employes , numbering about three him-
died , nnd including mnny Americans. Im
mediately niter cnmo ( lie Impcilnl
band nnd n company of 150 men with
reversed arms , winding up with n large num
ber of enrilngesand about five thousand Jnp-
nnese omplo.U's. The pln'o of Intel moiit wns
about lour miles from the lesldcnce of the do-
censed , A sumptuous lunrh was served lo all
foreigners in foielgn style , nnd In the Japan-
esc in the style of the country. The foreign
ers were ticuted to champagne , CM baskets
being consumed. The natives vveie given
cheap wine. The expense of the luneial wns
about 540,000. " _
An Incident ofn Wedding Trip.
"Let mo tell you a good little stoiy about a
jounir man down our way , " snld n Blown-
vllle gentleman the other day. "The hero of
the stoiy Is n well known cltl/en of
Tmimseh. Ho wns mauled not lonu nuo
and stalled on a southern wedding trip.
When the tinln stopped nt Topeka for din
ner n waiter uislicd out nnd began poundlni ;
ngoug. The young man liom Teciiinsch ,
thinking It was Intended for n charivari
rushed up to him and exclaimed. 'Hold on
theie ! How did you fellows down heio get
on to this racket I Stop bcrl I'll ' set 'em up
lor the boys. ' " _
Omnlin's Urpinntlon Abroad.
"It Is astonishing to hear how much atten
tion Omaha Is nttinctlng abroad , " said a gen
tleman who recently rctiu ned from the east.
"Every olio with whom 1 became acquainted
wanted to know If It was a fact that Omaha
is giowlng and Improving ns upidly ns is 10-
poited fiom time to time through the picss.
Poisons who were heie a few yeais ago could
linidly believe nil that I told them. Omaha
ceitainly has a splendid leputatlon tluough-
out the country. Manj of my friends and
acquaintances said that if they could sell out
they would surely como to Omaha. "
Tom Murray's
" 1 muleistnnd that Tom Murray intends to
inn his building up only two stories and then
roof it. " .said a well known citizen. "Ho
started In to put up a four storv bulUllnir ,
nnd the foundations-are intended for such n
stuietme. I question whether Murray will
reach the second stoiy this season. Mean
time lie is obstructing two-thirds ot the street
with his mateiial , and not a stroke of work
is being done. The city authorities ought to
compel him to clear the street or go ahead
with his building. It is a pity that such an
old mossback and obstructionist should own
such a valuable lot. He can sell it to-day at
a very handsome llgmc , but ho won't do it.
Neither will lie pioperly impiovo It , al least ,
not In n hairy not in the immediate future. "
