Ho is now one of the posies blooming in the democratic graveyard. OUST now the most profound secret is the location of the cable roau.

The erratic poursc of King Ludwlg.who for a year or two has been thought to bo little better Mian a madman , has at last brought bout a formidable effort to dethrone liim , and unless the king is without n fol lowing a serious internecine conflict is assured. In any event , Bavaria is for the moment the most interesting spot on the JSOropoan continent. THE county commissioners , in acting s a board of equalization , can neither raise or lower the aggregate county -as sessment. They can simply distribute the burdens of taxation more equally where mistakes have been made by the assessors. But the city council arc re strained by no such proviso. They are not bound to accept the returns of the assessors as the total valuation of the wards. If they BCO fit they can raise the sscssmcnts of any or of all the wards of the oity to figures which will make the lty assessment represent something like * fair valuation of Omaha real estate. THE BEB to-day is a twelve - page rf paper. Besides the usual quantity of telegraphic , state and city news , it con tains nu interesting variety of miscellany. The "Story of Trembling Hand The Le gend of Crazy Woman's Fork , " written pocially for the BUE by General James JB.

IH the United States senate on Thurs day , Mr. Book of Kentucky succeeded With very little difllculty in having passed by A largo majority his bill to prohibit members of congress from accepting' ' retainers or employment from railroad companies which liavo received land grunts or pccuniiiry aid from congress. The author of the bill rlghtlv regarded it m carrying its own argument , while other senator * doubtless realized the ux- pedionoy of avoiding discussion. An attempt was , however , made to send the bill to a committee where it might bo buried , but this plan of getting rid of the n sure was not very persistently urged , ' it was passed by a vote of thirty- against cloven. It will probably the houco by nn equally decisive Majority. The measure is a gooU nno. It ia notorious that members of congress , RUd morn particularly senators , have for years accented retainers and been the paid attorney of great railroad corpora tions , ana It is hardly questionable that the legislative action of thcsn congressmen With respect to anything nfl'octing the in terests of such corporations , has been more or loss colored nnd influenced by their connections with other corpora- lions. Tlio roaiilt has boon thu almost otuploto loss of public contidonce in the , tbhity of nongrcss to legislate justly and wtth reference to the paramount inter- te of tha people regarding any matter' Ja which tha Interests of the great rail * > * d corporations are to any dcgroo In- TOlved. It is quito time that this stigma pea congress were removed and tlio Mtttdonco of the people reassured. It is. ot certain tlmt the bl ! | of Senator Bock will fully accomplish this ; a way may bo ; found to cvud'j its ro.-uiroiuenU. But It 11 H Ion : : slop In the right , direction , aud iU have general popular'upproval. The Diplomatic and Consular Service. The democratic party during nil the period in which the republicans hold con trol of the government was not partial to the diplomatic and consular service of tlio country. The representatives of that party In congress persistently demanded the most rigid economy with respect to this service , and with the democratic press united in characterizing It as for the most part an extravagant luxury for which there wcro few compensating ad vantages. Appropriations for this service were fought more vigorously than these for any other. The policy of the govern ment has at no tlmo been so generous re garding tills branch of the public service as is that of other great nations. While Kntrland , France and Germany encour age their diplomatic and consular repre sentatives by liberal allowances and the assurance of permanent tenures , tho.so of the United States , with a few exceptions , are HI paid and Ira ye no security In their positions beyond tha term of the ad ministration which appoints them. There was nothing extraordinary in the fact that a service thus treated , and the representatives of which were re garded by a large element of their coun trymen as mere pensioners upon the public , should have become somewhat degenerate , and thereby iu a measure given warrant to adverse criticism , There came n time of improvement , however , since which the diplomatic and consular service of the United States has been on a hotter basis us to cllicionoy than ever before. One of the first duties to which Mr. Kvarts addressed himself , when ho became .secretary of state , was that of infusing new life into this eery-ice and stimulating our representatives abroad to greater cure and thoroughness not alone in the performance of their rou tine duties , but in supplying valuable commercial and other information to the department , which was made easily ac cessible to the press of the country for the Information of the people. It would bo quito impossible to compute the value which this generally ac curate and trustworthy informa tion has been to numerous in terests , but no reasonable man will doubt that iti has been very great. There are well attested instances of the material benefits that have resulted from it , aud tlio moro intelligent among the great merchants nnd manufacturers of the country who are over on the lookout for foreign markets could undoubtedly sup ply hundreds of such examples. In an other lield of inquiry our ellicient consul at Marseilles last year supplied the de partment with elaborate information re garding the origin and development of cholera in that city which may yet provo to be of priceless value. There has been no period when capa city , care and ctllcicncy in the diplomatic service of the country wcro moro neces sary than now. Speaking on this" subject a few days ago , Senator Conger ot Michi gan said : "To my mind to-day the great demand in the condition ot tlio American people is for agents intelligent , bright , enterprising men in every country on this globe to sco what kind of products American manufacturers and American producers can find a market for. In this great teeming country of ours , with ita industries and iu wealth and its produc tions , while business is in a state of stagnation here at homo , and while thou sands of men are either idle or dissatis- lied for want of full employment , I think the wise thing for this government to do is to look ever the face of the world and sco where the productions of the indus tries of our people may find a market , so that tha cry , whether true or false , of overproduction , which leads to a lack of demand and sale of our productions , may bo obviated , that industries may bo encouraged , that there may not be over production , because we can find markets all over the world for one or another of these productions which fill and glut our own market. " Since the necessity ot maintaining a diplomatic and consular service is obvi ous and indisputab'o ' , the only question is whether it shall bo given a parsimonious or a liberal maintenance. Every man who adequately understands the matter will support a generous policy in re spect of this service. Match tlio Pavements. Mr. Fronzor has put down a very sub stantial and sightly stone sidewalk oppo site the post oflico , Milton Honors , Mr. Ilollman and other heavy property owners have laid slagolituio pavements that uro a pleasure to look at and walk on. Mr. Strung is showing his usual en terprise by placing a costly slagolithio walk iu front ot his iron block. Now let us sco whether other property owners will follow suit. It is tno duty of the chairman of the board of public works to compel tlio owners of property on Farnam , Douglas and other loading thoroughfares to level their walks to graJo the full width and cover them * with substantial paving material. This duty has been shamefully neglected. Every other block on Farnam is an eye sere and disgrace. The plea that the owners can't allbrd to lay good sidewalks will no longer hold good. People who can't afford to pave their walks should dispose of their property and buy acre tracts outside- the city. Wo have spent moro than u million dollars in pavements within the last three years , and we cannot allow dilapi dated wooden sidewalks on paved streets to mar the beauty aud destroy the affect of costly public improvements which have given Omaha R reputation tlmt no other city in tlio west enjoys. Good pave ments must bo matched with good side- walla. Prohibition In Hhodo Iblaiul. The little state of Rhode lisland , which is about as large txs a small Nebraska county , is all torn up over the question of prohibition. The people last fall thought they wanted n prohibitory law and the legislature lost no tlmo in giving it to them. Prohibition was declared and the most rigorous execution of the law wia at once adopted. A state con stabulary foreu was installed and Colonel Brayton put at its head. And now the good people of Rhode Island are receiv ing a full dose of the prohibition medicine - cine with the result of a tremendous reaction against prohibitory legislation. Public meetings are being held all over denouncing the law as vindictive , des potic and iniquitous , and as opening the door for the detestable spy system. This is decidedly entertaining. It would bo iutcruating ta Know what the good people of Rhode Island really want. After giving .tholr approval to. prohibi tion , do'thoyImagine for a momaut ttlut It could bo enforced without ft spy sys tem ? Prohibition and the spy sys tem are inseparable. Every piohibitory law has been a dead letter wherever Introduced , with hordes of spies and informers to secure evidence for its en forcement. This has been the experience in Maine , In Kansas and in Iowa. If the people of Rhode Island had been earnestly anxious to check the evils of the liquor traftlc nnd to repress Us worst features by alaw which could bo enforced they should have adopted a high license system , which Is to-day operative and ef fective In Nebraska. Prohibition never has been and never will bo enforced. In stead of crushing out the liquor tradio it means frco trade in the sale of intoxicating beverages. It is n material injury to every state where it has been put In oper ation. High license throws the business into responsible hands , gives communi ties where public sentiment can maintain local option the power to suppress liquor soiling , calls to its enforcement the opin ion of the best classes of citi/ens , and elves to the state a handsome revenue for the schools. ! THE board of county commissioners is now sitting as a board of equalization and will remain in session for some days to come. If the commissioners do tholr duly they will find plenty of work to en gage their attention in revising the assess ment rolls aud In equalizing tlio value of property listed. Their especial attention is directed to the shameless discrimina tion practiced In the assessment of tha property of wealthy capitalists In the First , Second , Sixth and Third wards of this city ami to low listing of lots in outside additions which are held for sale at prices scarcely below property of like character within the city limits. Last year the jus.- sessmont roll of Douglas county footed up less' than $10,000,000 which was about one-twelfth of the value of the real estate within the county limits. This year on the assessment roll as handed In , the advance will certainly not bo over 2,000,000 or ? 3,00l,00 ) ! ) . On a proper equalization of assessments by the commissioners , Douglas should hive : , at least $20,000,000 upon which to make the tax levy of 1837. Tlmt sum would bo scarcely a sixth of tlio actual value of real estate alone , leaving per.ional prop erty quite out of consideration. IT is the desire of Mr. Drexel , the owner of the cottage on Mount Mc Gregor , in which General Grant died , to convey that historic property to the United States. There arc excellent rea sons why it should pass into the posses sion of the government. As the property of the whole people it would be preserved , and for generations to como would bo ro- carded with a patriotic interest and affec tion equal to that which attaches to Mount Ycrnon and to the tombs of Lin coln and Garlield. Left to private owner ship there is the possibility of it falling into the hands of some mercenary per son who would degrade it to the purpose or personal aggrandizement. Moro than two months ago a bill was introduced In the house authorizing the United States' to take a conveyance of the Mount Mc Gregor cottage , and it was sent to the committee of which Mr. Beriah Wilkins , of Ohio , is chairman. Wilkins is a bour bon of the bourbons , and consequently the measure lias slumbered iu a pigeon-hole of his committee room or been more securely hidden away in the recesses of his pocket. It does not ap pear that any leading democrat among Wilkins's colleagues is opposed to' the object of the bill , but Wilkins represents a. constituency which would bo more at home in South Carolina than in Ohio , and their representative doubtless fools that his claim upon their respect would not bo strengthened by a favorable re port upon this bill , and since he could not , with any decency , report unfavor ably , the safer alternative is to bury it. Ohio is not greatly honored by its pres ent representation in congress , and tlio least worthy of the lot is Mr. Beriah Wilkins. Other hands Than Ours. Mr. Gladstone's homo rule bill re ceived its death blow on Tuesday in parliament , and on Thursday the an nouncement of an approaching dissolu tion of the session was made by the premier Parliament will bo dissolved before the end of the present month and the now elections will be ever by the 1st of August. There is general satisfac tion expressed ever Lord Hartlngton's refusal to form n coalition ministry. It is well understood that ho was pressed by the qucon to undertake the task. Such an attempt would have been foredoomed to failure , only postponing for H few months at least the inevitable appeal totho country. The coming elections are now the topic of ab sorbing political Interest , for which all parties are making preparations. Mr. Gladstone will enter the campaign in pcrriou , issuing an appeal to his Mid lothian constituents , which will also serve as a general appeal to the liberal party. The split between the whigs and that branch of the liberals in favor of home rule is BO complete that a whig candidate will oppose Mr. Gladstone in Midlothian. ? * The electoral campaign will be made on the sole isstio of homo rule , for which 200 members of the present parliament voted. Whatever may bo the complexion of the now house , it will at leant have the merit of knowing its mind on the subject of homo rulo. During the month or six ; wcoks Intervening between th'o speedy dissolution which all atrreo in expecting and the general election nothing but Ire land and the Irish question will be dis cussed , Every whig , liberal and radical candidate will stand or fall by his attitude toward homo rulo. The general political advantages of a house chosen thus iu the daylight , upon clearly drawn issues , are obvious. It scorns probable that the advantages to the ra tional demands of Ireland will be equally manifest. The improved organ isation of the now voters and the force of the Irish electorate in England and Scot land , thrown this tiiua whore it belongs , will bo powerful elements , too , iu achiev ing the great final victory over class In- tolerenco , religious narrowness , and race violence which the coming-election prom ises. . The dctormiuatiou of the French gov ernment to expel tiiu Orleans prince * .from Franco is not surprising. So long ad they represented but one of three monarchical parties tljolt Influence was not of much importance. But since the death of the Count de Ghsmbord nnd the prince imperial tho'y hntvo become prac tically the chiefs ot ( he Reaction in all its forms , for Bonapartism' l in a state of collapse. Aud it is said that their in trigues have embarrassed Iho diplomatic relations of France with both Germany and Russia , the former hating the Orleans family nnd the laltcr oSqucttlnp with them. But it is a confession of weakness on the part of the roputlic to propose their expulsion , nnd tlio ) weakness has been earned by Ufa crude and violent policy of the republican loaders over since the resignation of President Mac- Mahon. * A dispatch from the ( Illy of Mexico reports that a careful csUmnto of the fiscal year ending with th ( mouth shows that the earnings of the Mexican Central railway will bo sllghtlr more than $1,000,000 , and that thb running ex penses will bo about $3,400,000 , leaving n net Income of $1,000,030. or about 4 per cent on the capital. This is a very favorable showing , all things considered , and may do something to abate reported opposition among -jomf of those most heavily interested to tlio present manage ment of the road. The Chilian president's recent address to congress offers furthor'ovidonco ' of the prosperity and growth of the "model re public" or South America. It is a fact of no small significance tlmt in this little country of less than 2,500,000 people , there are 010 public nnd 508 private schools , besides several educational institutions of special character ; that immigrants in great numbers are being attracted , and that still greater effectiveness lias been given to the army and navy , nnd exten sions to the postoflico and telegraph sys tems. Certainly the rapid development of this order loving people is in marked contrast with the other republics of South America. DOKS Russia mean war or ponce ? The fact that she still keeps her quarrel with Prince Alexander open , that Greece has not acceded to the demand for a reduc tion of the army to a peace footing , nnd that the c/.ar receives an address sneak ing of the hope that tlio cross will yet shine on Sopiiia , scorn to indicate the probability of a war in tlio east. The conversion of a large part of the Russian debt by the Berlin bankers on favorable terms rather points the other way , as showing that the bourse believes in the continuance of ueaeo. Perhaps the czar is waiting for an Enf lislyrcneral election to furnish him a favoValjlo opportunity. IT is indicated frorti Washington that the Pan Electric investigation will result in a whitewashing rcpqrt. It is under stood that the majority of the house com mittee can see nothia'g wrong in tlio fact that federal officials speculated in the stock of the Pan Elcbtriq company , and are equally oblivious tq any-irregularity in the course of the department of jus tice in the obvious intorefct of this' corpor ation , of the stock of .which Mr. Garland is a largo owner. Tlijs'.rcsull was to have been expected , albqit. every reputable democratic journal in the country has most vigorously condemned the course of tlio attorney general aud alJ others iden tified with the evident conspiracy.

THE LIFE OF JOHN C. FREMONT. Other Now Dooks of a Useful nnd Kit- tcrtnlnlng Chnrnctop Vic- tton , lootrj-t History. Fremont's Memoirs. Thn nnnounccmont tlmt General John C. Fremont Is about to publish a book , entitled the "Memoirs of My Life , " will be received wllh satisfaction thoughout the country. There is 110 more pictur esque figure In American history tlinn this bravo pioneer , who did so much to give the west the civilization which it en joys to-day ; nnd coming , as the story docs , from the storehouse of such n varied experience it Is almost certain to rend like n romance. From specimen pages sent out by tiio publishers Messrs. Uol- ford , Clnrkc Sr Co. , of Chicago the torso and oplanunmntia style of the author is at once seen. A notable feature of the book will be a sketch of the life of Sena tor Hcnton by his daughter , Jessie lien- ton , whose brilliant conversational powers btill dollglit social circles in Washington. The steel engravings of the work are in nil respects worthy of ihe subject matter and of the scenes wliiuli they illustrate. The drawings , which arc fioni the pen cils of Uarlev , Hamilton , Schussole , Kern anilVatlin , are all from sketches nnd daguerreotypes made nnd tnkcn during the author's explorations. Jn the newspaper accounts of the re cent destruction of Del ford , Clarke & Co's building in Chicago it was gener ally staled and feaied tlmt the plates of the Fremont Memoirs wore destroyed. Tliis foitunutoly is not the case. All the original plates were in vaults in Phila delphia and New York , and onlyono original copper-pinto map was destroyed ; of tills General > romont had a pi oof , and a new one will be at once reproduced. The lire will only delay publication a few weeks. "The principal subjects of which the book will consist , " says the author in his preface , "and which , with mo , make its raihon d'etre , arc three : the geographi cal explorations , made in the interest of western expansion ; the presidential cam paign of ISoti , made in the interest of an undivided country ; and the civil war , made In the same interest. * * * The published histories of the various explor ations have now passed out of ditto , nnd are new to the present generation , to which the region between the Mississippi and the Pacilic ocean presents a different face from that to which , these accounts relate. " Out of these expeditions came the seizure of California in 1810. Gen. Fremont , at the head of the American settlers , took possession of the country in the name of the United States just about the time that Commodore Sloat , hearing of the declaration of' war , hoisted the United States Hag at Monterey. Con- llicting explanations of Fremont's act have already gone into history ; but addi tional light may bo expecteil when the present work shall have boon completed. In the exploration narratives , accord ing to the synopsis , the description of the regions traveled over will bo simply of what would in Gen. Frpmont's time have met a traveler's oyo. "The prevail ing impression on his mind , " the preface states , "would have been one of constant surprise that so. large a portion of the earth's surface should have so long re mained unoccupied and unused. Millions of people now occupy the ground where then he encountered wild animals and wild men. Hut nothing of this present condition will bo given here. " Among the proof sheets is a fac-similo of a characteristic letter from the poet Whittier to Mrs. Fremont. He expresses his pleasure at copying the verses lie had addressed years ago to "thy husband who struck the first brave blow for lib- crly. " The chapter containing the sketch of Senator Benton is written by his daugh ter , Jessie Benton Fremont. It is done with spirit and a laudable sense of pride , and the memorial is worthy of the place it holds in the autobiography of General Fremont. My father [ writes Mrs. Fremont ] was so proudly and thoroughly American that his departure from all the inlluenco that had created and until then governed his thoughts shows the power of innate force against inherited and educated in- llucnco. Horn of English parentage on the English seaboard ; brought up in English and intensely colouial-royalLst surroundings ; trained by a scholarly Englishman to English thought and aims ; and with his profession of the law keeping his mind down to a habit of deference to precedent and safe usage , my father had reached his thirtieth year before lie discovered himself. With the great river and his instinct of what the west must become , came to him the re solve which governed all bin after life ; and , by the happy chance which made me the connecting link , this resolve was continued and expanded through that of Mr. Fremont. And so the two lives be came one iu the work of opening out our western country to emigration and secure settlement , and in the further acquisition of Pacific territory which "gives us from sea to sea the whole temperate /one , " and brings to our Pacilic ports , across our continent , that loiig-contcbtod-for India trade. In the park at St. Louis itumU a brun/.u statue of my father , and upon Its pedestal , below - low the hand which point * west , ar > his prophetic words : "Thorn Is the cast : TlHiro Hot ) the road to Incll.i. " Mrs. Fremont , by thu way , played a conspicuous part in the lirst expedition sent out nndor her husband in 1343. ' 'Mr. I'rmnont , " as she herself tolls it , "was at the frontier gutting his camp and an imals into complete traveling condition when there came an order recalling him to Washington , where ho was to explain why lie had armed his party with a how- it/or , that the howitzer had boon charged to him ; that it was a sciontilio and not a military expedition , and hhould not have boon so armed ; and that ho must return at once to Washington and 'explain. ' Her course was taken without hesitation. The important thing wan to save the ex pedition and gain time for a good Htart which should put it beyond interference. It was befon telegraphs worn known , and nearly a week was required to got letters either to the frontier or Washing- ton. Sliu sent a message to her husband telling him to hurry his arrangements nnd start , adding that oho could give no reason , but that thuro was a sulliclcnt one. Then aha awaited the consequences quences , which , happily , did not prove very serious. Ilor object was gamed and tho'exnediUou was beyond recall.

Underwood. This work is based on the lectures of thrf late M. J. Guest , and is brought down td tlio year 1830 , with a supplementary chapter upon English literature of th nineteenth century. Guest's "Lcctuiei on English History" were prepared lof the "Col lego for Men and \\oincn "to London , and apparently vrero printed substantially as they were delivered. At regards style they have the merits ami faults of composition intended lor oral delivery ; but in substance they aio of l\\f \ highest order ot excellence. For its com pais , Guest's history is claimed to beta * most interesting , impartial , complete and satisfactorv over published , it i written fi om ample knowledge ; and thd treatment is original presenting tin topics nnd events in a fresh and enter taming way. It rejects the common abs htracts and digests of previous writer and is largely filled with citations from the old chroniclers , taking the readel back to the original pource.s of informa tion. It will oo seen , therefore , that Mr. Underwood has drawn his material front a most excellent source. Mr. Guest , however , did not continue his narrative beyond the reign of ( ieorg III , in tact , there IH little mention o | events after the battle of Waterloo ; and , to make Mr. Underwood's work mor complete , chapters have been addedj bringing the history down to 1880 , anil concluding with a concise survey ot Engi lish literature during the present cen tury. In some places new matter haJ been added as , for instance , upon Dun stan and Henry VIII but all additions. including the editor's notes , are carefully - fully distinguished. _ HEMORRHOIDS Blind , Bleeding and Itching , Positively OureJ by Culicura.
