TIIRIIC Is reason to expect that Mr. Beeolior will do some very cfl'ectivo work' for the Irish causa if ho carries out his purpose of speaking in its behalf in Eng land , and the liberal leaders will do well to cncouraao him in that purpose and Kivo him the largest possible opportun ities. THE Donvcr Tnbunc-Jtcpubhcan is still engaged in moving the Union Pacific headquarters from Omaha to Donvcr. Meantime the Union Pucilic headquarters' building is being enlarged mid improved throughout , and when completed , us it will bo in a few weeks , it will be a fivo- story structure , 100x133 feet , and ono of the largest , handsomest and most com plete and convenient headquarters in the country. .

Any ono who has read that volume , which is chock full of meat , will agree with the llccord. AGITATOKS for the autonomy of Cuba have taken a "pointer" from the homo- rule efforts of Mr. Panic ! 1 , and are de manding of Spain a more liberal recog nition of the right of the Cuban people to mauago their own afl'airs. The effect of the agitation has boon to secure promises of a fair and liberal policy of commercial and political reforms. Un questionably Cuba can present a case hardly loss worthy of consideration than is that of Ireland. WHY the manufacturers of cigars and cigarettes should desire to advertise their goods by means of Hash pictures of an Indecent character ia something that the virtuous public cannot understand. Hourly every cigar is now ' 'decorated" vrith pictures of this character which ought not to bo toloratod. It is encour aging to know , however , that a move- inont against indecent advertising has at last boon started , and the society for the suppression of vice , having its head quarters in Now York , will probably In augurate a' vigorous warfare in every city of the country agalnit suchjimmoral advertising. IT was Marshal Cummlngs of Omaha who hrat inaugurated the warfare upon the "Mother Hnbbard , " which lias slnco spread to nearly every oity in the coun try. The last chief of police to dis tinguish himself In this way Is Spoors of Kansas City. Ho has issued an order that "Mother Hubbnnls" shall bo kept off the streets. "It soonis , " says the Kansas City Times , "to have bcon tacitly understood all around that a bolt or a cloae fitting waist should bo an essential feature of the legal fomluino apparel. Why the police should take tins stand and not attack , also'tho loll-talo pullbaok skirts is what the Kansas City social science club will shortly ask Chief Spcora to explain. Merely as a single question it Is not of such penetrating importance , but as loading up to the thrilling general issue of police regulation of womankind's fancies , it Is well worth a few weeks of communion between Mr. Spoors and the social science club , " Tnu York Times la authority for the statement thnt u load of corn was re cently sold in that town for five cents n bushel , nnd that nt present It takes 200 bushels of corn to buy a ton of hard coal in York , These ligurcs arc considerably larger than those of Senator Van Wyck , who , it will bo remembered , was severely scored by the corporation cappers nnd papers because ho dared to say that in certain parts' of Nebraska it took ICO bushels of corn to ray for n too of hard coal. The- Times says : ' 'It is not noces " 'wry to ask why , when it takes the price of four bushels of corn hero to got the fifth bushel hauled to Chicago.

" The English CnntpnlRn. Tljc progress tlms far of the political campaign in Kngland , so far as relates to the spirit manifested by the opposing forces and the character of their utter ances , is most decidedly In favor of the llborals. No unprejudiced person who has read attentively the manifestoes and sppcc'ics of Mr. Gladstone and of the leaders of the opposition can have failed to bo impressed by the very striking contrast there is in their lone and tem per a contrast hot less marked and con spicuous than the superior verbal purity and rhetorical llnisli which so preeminently nently distinguish the productions of the great liberal Icador as to entitle them to a place among English classics. Every utterance of Mr. Gladstone is characterized by that calmness , modera tion and dignity which should mark the discussion of a great national question that appeals to the reason and the sense of justice of the people. Presenting In his manifesto , with plain and simple directness , the merits of the issue , and making the alternatives in volved so clear to the apprehension that ( ho least Intelligent among the voters of Great Hritian could not fall to under stand them , In nothing that he has slnco said has ho in thu slightest degree de parted from the simple and explicit text which ho sent out ten days ago to his Midlothian constituents , Ho has been most earolul not to allow the cli-arly de fined is'uu of the campaign to bo hidden or befogged for a moment by any discus sion ot details , holding the popular mind up to the contemplation solely of the question whether imperial power shall continue to exact a coerced obedience from Ireland , with nil that such a condi tion implies of oppression , hatred , law lessness and the perpetuation of deadly feuds , or the Irish people shall bo per mitted to manage their own affairs and bo as justly and fairly dealt with as are the people 'of the other dependencies of tlio nation , with the as surance of results politically , morally and materially advantageous to the am- piro. Nothing could bo moro admirable than the spirit and the sentiment which distinguish the arguments of Mr. Glad stone in support of his great nuuso. Very different arc the appeals of the loaders of the opposition , from Salisbury to Churchill. The distinguished loader of the lories has essayed both ridicule and abuse , and having sot the example has bcon surpassed in both by his apt and ready satellite. The manifesto of Church ill is an almost brutal piece of vitupera tion , and if there Is any sense of fairness left among Englishmen ought to drive thousands of them irom the support of n cause that requires such a defense and is championed by such an advocate. But if Churchill has gone a little beyond all the other leaders of the opposition to homo rule in abuse of Mr. Gladstone and m appeal ing to the passions and the fears of the people , it is simply because ho is moro bold and reckless than any of his col leagues , and not because ho fools any more strongly than they the sentiments ho utters. Salisbury is not loss bitter than Churchill , but ho is far less cour ageous. It is impossible that Englishmen who are not hopelessly fettered by traditional prejudice or strong personal interests can fail to bo impressed by the wide dif ference there is In the clovated charac ter of Mr. Gladstone's advocacy of his cause and the bad temper of the appeals of the tory Icadors , nor can it bo doubt ful what the effect of such an impression must bo in determining the action oi those voters who are accessible to Its in- iluence. Private Pension Bills. The president has just bcon making liberal , and for the most part entirely commendable , use of the veto power. Ho returned to congress Monday , with his disapproval , fifteen bills , thirteen of which were private pension bills. In re lation to these pension measures , the president observes that ho is so thor oughly tired of disapproving gifts of public money to individuals who , in his opinion , have no right or claim to it , that ho interposes with a feeling of relief in cases where ho finds it unnecessary to de termine the merits of the application. Ho also states a fact not generally known to the country , that a largo pronor- tion of tlio bills making promiscuous and ill-advised grants of pensions had never been submitted to a majority of cither branch of congress , "but are the result of nominal sessions , held for the express purpose of their consideration and attended by a small majority of the members of the respective houses of the icgislativo branch of the government. " In other words the practice inferentially is for those congressmen who are inter ested hi those private pension bills to muster as occasion may require in sufll- cicnt force to pass them , the mutual un derstanding being to dispense with in quiry and discussion as to their merits. Looking casually over a lute Issue of the Congressional Record wo noted no fewer than thirty-eight bills introduced in a single day providing lor the grant ing of pensions or Increase of pensions. Perhaps this may have been an excep tional day in the Introduction of this class of measures , but no day of the ses sion pusses without the presentation of bills of this character , many of which have not the slightest foundation of righter or just claim to rest upon. For obvious reasons a great number of those grants have in the past boon allowed almost without a question , and now constitute a very considerable part of the heavy annual charge which the pension bureau makes upon the government a ohargo which any other pcoplo than these of the United States would regard as a very soil- ous bunion , and the inaraaso of which even this most generous people will no longer regard with complacency or Indifference. No citizen will demur to making just and generous provision for the defenders of the union and their posterity , but as the prosldeut justly says , "Ileodlossness and disregard of the principle which under lies the granting of pensions is unfair to the wounded , crippled soldier who is hon ored in just recognition by his govern ment , " and who should tiover find him self side by side on the pension roll "with those who have bcon tempted to attribute the natural Ills to which humanity is heir to service In the army , " It is manifestly time that greater care and a closer in quiry were exercised with respect to al leged claims for pensions , to the end that this enormous draft upon the public treasury shall not bo enlarged by uuvtur- . ranted demands. There la need that a vigorous check be put upon the industry of claim njrenu and 7 the willingness of congressmen to vole away the public money to individuals who can inako out , with the hcln of nn astute attorney , a plausible case. There is n popular belief , evidently shared by the , president , that thcro are few of the defenders of the union or their heirs who could present a just claim upon the beneficence of the nation that have not been provided for , and the people will approve the action of the president in vetoing the private pension bills which he had reason to bclicvo wcro not sup ported by a just claim to favorable con sideration , thus notifying congress thnt its loose practice in this direction could no longer bo assured of executive countenance. KIMVIN P. Wmri'i.n , the well known essayist , is dead. For many years ho had held a prominent position in lioston literary circles. His brilliant essay upon Macaulay in 1343 first brought him into general public notice. This review was highly complimented by Macaulay on account of its high literary stylo. His other essays and contributions to litera ture generally attracted general attention upon their appearance , and many of them still hold high place in the esteem of careful and thoughtful readers. In speaking of Mr. Whlpplo the Springllold ( Mass. ) Jlcpttblican says : "It Is honor enough to sav that In his prime Mr. Whipplo was in good domund before the audiences which listened toKuicr&on and to Dr. Holmes. Ho was contemporary with the remarkable" group of lltoratcnrs now falling by the way , know them all , and enjoyed and contributed to their so ciety. His talent was not equal to theirs , but it was his own , gave him a respect- aolo place in their midst , and was oxer- oiscd like theirs to lift the people up to the great moral and political evolution which the last half of his life has wit nessed. Never did a school of essayists , lecturers , poets , novelists and preachers turn the earth upon a revolution so mightily as did these mon , and to the great end of freedom Mr. Whipplo also labored. Achievement of that end , and the rise of a now school of literature , with different moral purposes , if any at all , has hurricu the world along , and it is doubtful if Mr. Whipplo will leave much which will bo read in the future. " AMONG the immigrants which como to the United States thcro is no clnsss moro acceptable , and none which contributes moro by its industry and thrift to tlio general prosperity , than the sturdy pco plo from the north of Europe included in the generic name of Scandinavians. It is stated that for a number of yoara past the annual How of these pcoplo to Amer ica has reached from 40,000 to 00,000 , . nearly all of whom have found homes in the northwestern states. Minnesota has received a liberal share of those people , as have also Iowa , Kansas mid Dakota , while according to the census of 1880 Nebraska had 10,101 Swedes , 2,010 Nor wegians , and 4,511 Danes. During the past six years the population of Nebraska has been very largely augmented from this source , probably no other city in the country of no greater population having ai present so many Scandinavians among its residents as Omaha has. These people ple arc m every respect a most desirable and worthy element of the population , being not only industrious , prudent and law-respecting , but having an intuitive love of free institutions which renders them politically the best ot citizens. Ac cretions to our population from this source are always safe and to bo heartily welcomed. THE United States senate has given very positive notification to the demo cratic opponents of civil service reform that they may as well abandon .for the present all hope of destroying the law , whatever they may bo able to accomplish by way of crippling or embarrassing its operation. When the bill of Senator Vance , to repeal the civil service act , came up a few days ago a motion for its indefinite postponement prevailed by a heavy majority , including eight demo crats. It may be noted also In this con nection that a report from Washington states that since his return from Indiana Mr. Holman , who joined witli Randall in an effort to nullify the civil service law by putting a rider on the legislative ap propriation billhas experienced a change of heart on this subject and will probably desert the anti-reform element. Tlio un happy condition of the democracy re garding this and other reforms is an in teresting spcotaclo , if not an edifying study. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IT is understood that the annual lighten on the Fitz John Porter bill will bo re newed in the senate on next Thursday , and accompanying the announcement is the quito comforting assurance that Mr. Logan has "boiled down" his usual throe days' speech into one that will consume only a few hours , while ether senators having exhausted themselves on the sub ject will have nothing to say. Congress , in common with the people of the coun try , is heartily tired of the controvosy , and thcro is most favorable promise that it will bo finally disposed of at the pres ent session by restoring Porter to the army , an act of justice that has bcon most unwarrantably delayed.

A gentleman who has investigated the subject gives some ligurcs relative to the re ligious complexion of the present congress. which he says are reliable. Of the 403 sena tors , members and territorial delegates who compose congress 73 are Methodists , (53 Bap tists , 41 Episcopalians , 37 Presbyterians , 30 Catholles,15 Unltarlans.S Lutherans , 10 Chris tians ( Campbcllltcs ) and'J Quakers , making a total of 233 who ore actively connected with some church-organization. This leaves 125 who either never belonged to any church or have drifted out of such associations. It would appear from these nguros that congress Is a pretty good missionary ground.

To the Kdllor of the BIK : : Last Saturday your deservedly popular paper published a letter on tlio tariff question by Mr. J. Morton. I pre sume lie is a dccinlc of the apostle ol free trade , Sterling Morton. His ideas ate to what ho thinks is an obstruction to the growth of Omaha has one feature about them of being the imaginings of his versatile genius. Ho commences b > staling that wo want manufacturing in dustry to insure us against reaction and check the growth of Omaha. Ou that every thinking person in this community agrees and recognizes its necessity , His opinion that high tariff against foreign imports is ono of the causes that operates against local enterprise , ho also states is the cause of us being shut up in the homo market. How ho arrives at such conclusion that lowering the tarifl would enable us to sell our products in foreign markets and make our nianufnc- urcs independent of tlio homo market , I fail to see. Does ho moan by that to al low foreign imports to glut the homo market and our manufacturers in order to meet that competition to rcduco American labor below the price paid by European manufacturers ? That must bo his idea as there is no other way by which we can compete , then ho goes off and says why not experiment on a wholesale tariff rotorm. Permit mo to inform Mr. Morton that democrats have experimented in the past as 1 will prove to the vast injury of the country. Experience scorns to have no effect on them ; to-day as in the past they are trying to tinker with legislation on tariff. Pittthc English premier in 1783 boasted that ho had reconquered the colonies as commercial dependencies , contributing moro absolutely and in a larger degree to England's prosperity than before the political connection was severed. So would the Cobdeu club of to-day exult in the reduction of the tariff , so that this country could be Hooded with cheap labor products of Europe. To-day the republican party , true to the traditions handed down to posterity by the fathers of the republic , from the time of the immortal Washington to that of Blaiup , the statesman still uphold the principles of protection to American in dustry. What is wanted now is not n reduction of tariff , but protection to American labor. Henceforth strictly prohibit the im portation by any methods of cheap foreign labor ; cause a tax to bo levied upon all labor coming into the United States , also that all persons coming into this country shall have as much money as will support them for six months. That would protect us against the governments of Europe sending their paupers hero to glut the labor market. Our mon hero in such organizations as ( ho 1C. of L..havo advocated the reduction of the hours of labor so as to give em ployment to some of the thousands of in dustrious men of work.but whatwill their sacrifice avail them if foreign govern ments are allowed to dump Uioir surplus population on our shores ? It cannot go on. Wo must protect homo labor. 11 must not bo a one-sided protection any longer. Labor is entitled to the same protection given to capital. In every period of our country's his tory , when protection principles wore departed from , depression and general bankruptcy followed. I'cnnit mo to refer Mr. Morton to the compromise act of 1833 , which was in reality an abandonment of the principle of protection , which brought in its wako commercial disaster from 1837 to 1812 , when the country had to return to nigh protection principles , which restored prosperity to the pooplo. History proves that protection tills the coders of the treasury. Democrats , when in power , always .advocated a policy of free trade , which has bcon , as it would bo now , de structive of the prosperity we now enjoy. In the past their reason was as it is to-day , that the revenue is in excess of government expenses ; in other words , n tariff for rovcnuo only. The oxporicnce of the past seems of no benefit to the party ; they would allow the specie to bo given in exchange for foreign manufactured goods , which would result in leaving our citizens without employment. Manutacturing competition and the rivalry ot traders will secure to the con suming masses goods as cheap us it is possible to produce them. It seems to mo that Mr. Morton falls into the popular error that it is only tlio manufacturers that lire protected. Ho scorns to tniiik that farmers have no pro tection. Mr , Editor , although I have extended this letter longer than i intended , allow mo to state , for the information of the gentleman who thinks that the agricul tural west has no protootion against for eign computition , to quote a few of the import duties on agricultural products : Timber , spars and piles , 20 pur cent ; oranges , per box , 23 cents ; tobaccos , nor pound , 33c to 1 ; Hour , 20 per emit ; um ber , square nnd sided , per 1,000 foot. $10 ; wool , per pound , 0 cents ; live animals , 20 per cent ; hay , per ton , $3 ; honey , per gallon , 20 cent.i ; butter ami ohcuuo , 4 cents pur pound ; corn , 21 per cent ; milk , 20 per cent ; outs , 25 per cent ; potatoes , per bushel , 10 cents ; wheat , 21 percent ; ether vegetables , 80 par cent ; butter 20 per oont ; cheese , 40 per cent ; hops , 80 per cent. From the above the experimental tariff reformers Will lind out that our fanners will not allow a reduction of tariff that would allow the farm products of lliis- sia and India to compete , duty free , witn American produce in our home markets. Thinking Mr. Morton might go unan swered , I have hastily collected a few facts that may enlighten some of our citizens who have not studied the ques tion from a practical standpoint. Dreamy theorl&ts , wo want none of your experimontaLlogislation. Elegant designs in solid bilver goods just received at Edholiu ' Free Wool and Wool Growers. o t n Fifcrt nml tt J te. The true interests of the wool growers and the woolen manufacturers tire not opposed and are not so considered by these manufacturers who advocate free wool. If tlio growers were really benefited by the duty and obtained the 10 cents ptr pound themselves , there would not bo so much objection to the tax ; but they do not get tlio 10 conts. It is doubtful if , in the long run , they got even so much as 1 cent. It is iomothiiig like some of the money raised in the name of charity , that is only sufliclonl to pay the agents nnd other expenses. In the opinion of tho'o best convers ant with the trade , wool has not ruled higher the past years , nnd Is not so high now as it would have been free from duty , The demand , would , undoubtedly have been much greater by having the proper nualitlcs for making all classes of goods , tlio manufacturers coiiMimutlon of homo-grown wool would only bo limited by the supply. Not moro than naif enough clothing wool is grown in this county lor making all the so-vailed woolen goods in con sumes. The rcmaindet is supplied by importations.niostlyin the manufactured state , which do not take an ounce of American wool , and by various substi tutes , which the manufacturers are obliged to use to make up the deliolt , and to enable them to compote in price with Ilio foreign manufacturers. The oiled of our duty has been only to depress prices abroad to a point wnuro tlio untaxcd manufacturers of Europe could make it into yarns , fabrics , or clothing , and umlcr-scll American manu facturers in our own markets after pay ing the smaller rate of duty on the wool in this manufactured form With free wool and a moderate duty on goods , wo should immediately com- meiiBo upon an export trade , and to transfer to our country some of the man ufactures of Europe. The consumption of wool would be greatly increased , and the homo grown would have the first attention. Importations would only bo used so far as required to make up the qualities or quantity that the homo gnm'th could not supply. With prices equal in both countries , there is no doubt that Ilio English 111:11111- : facturcra would compete with with ours for the best grades of Ohio and Pennsyl vania , and perhaps , too , for some of the soft wools of the far west for making certain fabrics. There is very little wool grown in the world of the character of the best Ohio. Unfortunately , the high tax has failed to hiRreii o this , and. in part , do doubt , because the grower lias rarely had any portion of it in his own pocket. If it could bo paid direct to him , the situation would boon bo very different. Prohibition in Miiino. A'citi J'oift Tltnu. Has the republican party in Maine cnascd to bo a prohibition party ? Some of the prohibitionists seem to think so , nnd have sot about organizing a party of their own. They held a convention at Portland yesterday made up of 1)3 ! ) dele gates representing GO cities and towns and 14 counties , and declared that both old parties "contain a now element which will not allow tlio enforcement of the law " and that "the prohibitory , republi can parly is afraid to enforce the law. " This is a sufficient admission that the law is not in fact enforced , though the plat form mildlv status that "in the principal cities of tlio state thcro is no impartial enforcement of tlio law. " It is a notori- rious fact that the enforcement is very partial indeed , but if the sentiment of the people in favor of it is not strong enough to induce cither of the parlies into which thov arc divided politically to enforce prohibition , how is it to bo done by a more handful of prohibitionists noting in dependently and with no chance of con trolling the machinery of the law ? Twelve Vcara for Stealing Ilia Own Horso. Special dispatch to the Globe-Demo crat from Fort Worth : A judge and jury in a Texas district court have found a man guilty of stealing his own horse , and sent him to the penitentiary for twelve years. It is a most remarkable case. L. W. Owens is a wealthy citizen of Erath county. He has a splodid repu tation for integrity in his community. In 1855 ho branded : i mare colt out of a mare belonging to him and turned it out on the range. Owens came to 1'ort Worth and remained for some time here oa business. While away ono W. II. Bosoy saw the colt and took it up as his property. Owens returned , and finding his coltln Uosoy's hands , demanded pos session of the animal. Bosqy refused to give it up , saying the animal was his. The case got in the justice's court on a writ of sequestration , and the nolt was awarded to Owens , who thereupon took it from Bosoy's domain. Uosoy wont before the grand jury , indicted Owens for theft , and the grand jury trying the case found Owens guilty , giving him twelve years , and ho is in jail. As far as is known , this is the first case where a man stole his own horse. In London stops have been taken to procure a convalescent homo for horses The object of the homo , as sot forth at a mooting of these interested , is to enable the poorer classes cabmen , tradesmen and others to procure , on moderate terms , rest and treatment for horses that are failing from overwork or accidental causes , and which are likely to bo bene fited by a few weeks' rest and caro.
