During tliu your from July 1 , 1835 , to July 1 , 1880 , tlio regular circulation of the Daily HER 1ms Increased by over 4,400. This increase n one represents a Junior number of subsjribers than is embraced - braced in the total circulation of any other dully in Nebraska. This generous patronngo is largely the result of the costly improvements made by tlio rub- Ushers during the past year in tliovay ot lightning presses , stereotyping machinery nnd other equipments which have enabled us to produce a truly metropolitan daily. iluch of our rapid growth must Ijo credited , however , to our in creased facilities for the collection of telegraphic news by special service at the principal news centers. The BEE , how ever , has not yet reached the limit of its nmbition , wliioli will slop short of nothing less than being In every essential the 4 qual of the great dailies of Chicago. St. .Louis and San Francisco. To this end wo have , at an expense much greater than the cost of the entire associated press scrvico of Omaha , secured tlio ex clusive use of tlio Now York Herald's ( special cable service , which ex cels by far any other for eign news reports in the world. The only ether papers In America that enjoy this special privilege are the Boston jlcrala , Chicago Tribtmo and St. Louis Qlobe-DcmocruL Under this arrangement all the special cable dispatches collected py the Now Torn Herald in foreign coun tries will appear in the BEU on the stuno morning that they are published in the 'great metropolitan dally of New York. Our patrons , and especially those who take an active Interest in foreign affairs , will appreciate the enterprise which wo liavo undertaken with a view of making 'jho BEU the equal of the best American iiowfipapcrg. Now that the base ball matches and lioat races are over , the colicgiato year In America may bo said to have closed. TAX equalization in Omaha consists in lifting the burden from the shoulders of the rich and placing it upon those of the poor. _ THE toy pistol will Imvo thu oar of the public to-day.

A per fectly harmonious senatorial contest , if ttvur discovered , should bostufled and put Inn glass case fur mugwumps , instruo- As to Mnrslinl Ctitnnttnci. For fifteen months Mayor Hovd has been trying very hard to got rid of Mar shal dimming1 ! . His objections to the marshal are almost entirely of a personal character. Cummings was an active supporter of the late M.xyor Murphv. Mr. Boyd wanted a marshal who would be in active sympathy with his own aims , per sonally nnd politically. On the theory oi the spoils system , Cuniming.s should have been dismissed when Boyd came in. On the principle that the ofllccs nro not personal perquisites of the mayor , Cimnnings could not lie removed unless ho pioved himself to be unfit for the place by reason of dishonesty or neglect of duty. Tlio council took tlio latter position They have steadily refused to consent to the removal of Cummings unless the mayor can show sulllelent cause. In addition to this reason , the republican majority also ( irmly declined to become a party to any .schema that had for its object the subordination of tlio police force to the political ends of the demo cratic mayor. From a partisan stand point this position \vns also well grounded. And now the mayor comes forward with a now proposition , namely , that he will appoint any republican as marshal whom the republicans In the council will agree to confirm. The only grounds which Mayor lioyd nssign.s for this demand is his personal dislike of Cummings anil the suspicion that Cummings is disposed to make light of his orders and misconstrue their pur port. Tlio majority of republican conn- cilmon ( Incline to go into this bargain. They decline to assume tlio responsibility of the appointing power , which is vested entirely in the mayor. The charter Him- ply makes the council responsible for consenting to appointments made by the mayor. The council declines to relieve tiie mayor from the responsibility for the proper oxerci.se of the functions of his oflico. For thorn Cummingii is a good enough republican and if ho has to go , they do not feel bound to upnly the boot. They want a bettor reason than personal dislike before they consent to a change and they want the mayor to lind a bettor man than Cummings before they lot Cumminas go. Where is this bettor man ? There tire doubtless many in Omaha who would make excellent mar shals if they can got along with the mayor. But these men do not want an eight months job at the waltry salary which the marshal draws. But wo are told that Cnmmings does not enforce tlio ordinances. Where is the man who will take the contract to enforce every ordinance now in force ? Would Mayor Boyd do it if ho wcro the marshal ? Does ho notcxpectCummings' successor to shut ono eye on social evil , gambling , high license regulations , etc ? The mayor himself has peculiar ideas of susponuing some laws which ho regards as objectionable or impracticable. How can * n marshal enforce laws in the face of the mayor's known position on these tender questions ? Then conies anothar point which the mayor has overlooked entirely. Up to this time all his schemes to get rid of Cummings have been laid with a view of securing two or three republicans to join the democrats in the council and confirm the marshal's successor. Mr. Boyd has treated tlio democrats in the council as so many pawns that ho could play on the political chess board at his pleasure. Now , when ho comes to order these dem ocrats to fall in with his now scheme of a republican marshal , what will these democratic councllmon do ? For them Cummings is n good enough republican and they see no advantage in putting him out to put in a more radical republican. The fool friends of Air. Boyd who con trol the editorial columns of his organ have made It difficult for any decent re publican to withdraw support from a man who has been mercilessly abused be cause ho happens to bo a republican workingraan. They have concocted the most villainous stories , bulldozed grand juries and resorted to methods of warfare - faro which would make even the most lukewarm friends of Cumraings resent tlio outrage. This is why Mayor Boyd is not likely to succeed in displacing the marshal , even with a better republican. BhortoniiiK tlio Tltuo. The decision of tlio managers of the Union Pacilic to give the patrons of their road a fast train service equal to that of any in the west in the way of equipment will bo gratefully received by tlio people of this section. Slow coach railroading is played out. It ought to have disap peared long ago , not only on the over land route but on the stretch of tracks between Chicago and the Missouri river. Tlio traveling public of the east long ago demanded and compelled the trunk lines to shorten up their time between the ocean and the lakes. There is no reason why the traveling public of the west who pay heavier rates of farq , should not re ceive equal consideration. The now fast train of the Union 1'aciflo will break the lea of slow railroading for faster time on all competing transconti nental roads , If the Burlington is to hold the Denver business itmustmake tlio same time to that point as the Union Fa ille. Tlio Northwosto rn , too , on its Elkhorn - horn Valley Hue must meet the faster tune to competing points. It will bo the In auguration of better railroading so far au time connections are concerned in Nebraska , There can be little doubt that the now fast train will soon force limited express trains on thu Iowa lines. There is no reason why the slow conch time ot twenty-two hours should obtain between Omaha and Chicago whilst thu time be tween St , Paul and the lakes is eleven hours shorter with a distance only fifty miles loss. A fourteen-hour schedule be tween the Missouri and Chicago is one of the certainties of the near future , It piust come , and the road which in augurate * this greatly needed change will reap the bcnolits of public apprecia tion and a lieavv public patronage. lie World , The house has been asked to add an item to the sundry civil service hill , ap propriating if 100,000 to meet the expenses of the inauguration of the statute of Lib erty Enlightening the World , Liberty 1ms already enlightened the world btilli- cluntly upon the niggardliness of Now Yorkers and it will now ke able to throw some light on the lavishncss of house Qommitteos of congress when the inter ests of the cast arp involyed as against these of the entire country. The history of the gift of Bar- tholdi'n fctatuo and the subsequent efforts to secure it a pedestal and appropriate surroundings ought to bo mortifying to American pride. France , in n fit of enthusiasm , subscribed the money for the statue In a few weeks. New York , who is to profit from the gift , struggled through five years before it was able to collect the few thousands needed to build the foundation on which the gigantic work of art was to rest. Then tlio country was drummed through the columns of a Now York pauer and the dollars and dhni-s of the poor called , for to supply the deficiency caused by the niggardliness of the rich of the great metropolis. The ped estal is now finished , built not by Now York , but by contributions from the whole country. The treasury is ex hausted , and congress is now appealed to for an appropriation to pay for the expenses of receiving the French visitors and suitably inaugurating the statue which is to forever omblomati/.o the friendship of the two old allies in the work of founding the American republic. Chicago would Imvo raised tlio entire amount needed in two weeks. Anyone of half a do/.en other western cities would hayo drawn on its own resources nnd accepted the gift without cal'ing ' on others to assist. It remained for the wealthiest city in the country to raise half the sum demanded by general sub scription of its neighbors , and finally to appeal to the whole country through con gress to appropriate a sulliclont amount to enable them to completu the job. The house of representatives acted wisely in rejeeting the item. Now York can now put its hand down in its own pocket or go without brass bunds and decorations on the day of the celebration. THE BEE is in receipt of. almost daily enquiries asking information about the status of tin ) bills repealing the preemption tion and timber culture laws , ami ques tioning whether entries can M.lll be made under the statutes named. Neither law has yet been repealed , and filings are consequently still received nt any land office in districts whore public lands are available for settlement. The order of Commissioner Sparks suspending filings was revoked some weeks ago. Hoth the senate and house have passed a bill re pealing the pre-emption and desert act nnd limber culture laws. The measure , which originated in the house ( II. 11. 7837) ) , was discussed hist week in the sen ate , loaded down with amendments , and on baturday last was reported to the com mittee on public lands. There is little probability of its resurrection during the present session. PUESIDKKT EO.VN of the Irish National league has received a cablegram that Michael Dnvilt will attend the conven tion of the league at Chicago as Parncll's representative. The one-armed Irish patriot will receive a genuine ovation. No Irishman is bettor beloved by Irish- Americans than the man who has suf fered for his country in the dock and dungeon wliilo upholding the nationalist cause. There will be a hearty welcome given to bravo and honest Michael Davitt. Now that the sidewalk question has been brought to a focus and the legal opinion of Mr. Council has officially in formed Chairman House of his duty , let us see how rapidly he will proceed to clear Farnum , Douglas and the other business streets of the man-traps and platforms which arc a disgrace to a city ot Omaha's pretensions. SENATOR VAN WYCIC'S absence from Washington , according to an exchange which never speaKS a coed word for the senator , is seriously endangering the safety of the Knevals bill. This is a false alarm , but it is a singular tribute to the senator's strength , coming fro man organ which never lots slip an opportunity to stab the general in the back. WE hear nothing of the proposal to move the stockyards and union depot to Seymour park. The combination of these interests with these of Fort Omaha would doubtless give that delightful suburb a greatly needed boom. At pres ent ono can see more park than any thing else in the vicinity of Dr. Miller's pre-emption claim. THE anxiety of Mayor Boyd to get rid of Marshal Cummings amounts almost to insanity. THE council to Tom Cummiugs : "Don't ' you go Tommy , don't ' go. " Other Lmuds Tliuu Ours. The first elections for tlio British par liament have taken place , The results , however , decide nothing. Out of the eighty odd constituencies which have re turned candidates , by fur the greater portion tion wore uncontostcd by the Gladston- ians. Twenty-three of the contested seats returned home rule liberals , Tito opening elections in Scotland do not as yet indicate any serious defection from Mr. Gladstone's leadership. The pre mier has been returned from two dis tricts , either ono of which lie will have the option of scrying in parliament. Midlothian is still for Gladstone and liberal - oral Scotland will feel tiio influence of the loyalty of that influential and wealthy section. The most Important contests are yet to come and the early part of the week will probably decide the issue. One tiling seeing certain and that is that a ministerial success , if gained , will bo by a slight majority , As party nnd fac tional lines nro now drawn , a majority , however small , is likely to prove n work ing majority , A The manifesto of tlio exiled count of Paris is a clarion call to the royalists to agitate for the pvurthrow of the republic and a menace to France that the Orlean- ists will joon develop onqugh strength to make good their demands for a restora tion of thu throne of the Bourbons , The count declares that " ( lie monarchy , tra ditional in its principles , modern in its Institutions , " alone can restore order , secure political and religious liberty , repress - press disorderly men , rebuild the public fortune , give "our democratic party a strong government , superior to parties , " and add "a stability which shall bo for Europe tho'pledge of a lasting peace. ' " To crown his open threat against the re public , he promises to bring about this return of tlio monarchy , "with the help of God and of these who share my faith in Hit ) future , " closing thus : "The re public is afraid ; in smiting mo she lifts mo up. I have couUdonco in France. At the decisive hour I shall bo ready.

There nro renewed rumors of another Russian loan and the 'largo ' export of gold from this country to Germany is said to bo in anticiPutibn of heavy de mands upon the Gorman bank from that source. A largo loan by Uussia means heavy demand for the military establish ment nnd no ono familiar with the his tory of the empire and the wisiics of the c/.ar's advisers , doubts that such .demands portend. llussia Is Itching for war and with war for increased territorial atrprandi/.omont The ambition of the czar is two directions , ono towards the Dardanelles the other toward India. Toward which he proposes to move first is the question which is agitating European diplomatic circles. The ono moans a general continental war , the oMier a contest to the death with England. * * The operations ot the British troops in Burmiih are carried on so quietly and in such n desultory way that little notice is taken of the moro or less constant lighting which is going on against the Dacoits , or organized namlils of the country. Never theless the losses of the English are a.s severe as in many of the skirmishes in the Soudan , < f which so much was said. In a recent engagement .scon of the British were killed and twenty-three wounded , and the worst of It is that the lighting cannot bo nude decisive The Dacolts are bushwhackers , and are likely to con tinue their disturbances for many years , and nmko Burmah a very expensive pos session of the British crown. * * * Another outbreak against the French has taken plaeo in Madagascar , and tiio troubles will probably once more bo re newed. Jingoism bus been very costly for Franco in the past few years. The Tunis , Tonquin and Madagascar colon/- ! ing schemes have cost the republic in money many times moro than it can ever make out of them , besides causing tlio loss 'of thousands of the Hewer of its armies. This ought to convoy a lesson to its statesmen. Justice and fair dealing ; toward all peoples , oven weak and semi- barbarous ones , are always becoming in a republic. * * * The Ottawa Mail , Sir John Mc Donald's mouth-piece , continues to deny that the dominion government lias re laxed its measures for the protection of tlio Canadian fisheries. T * Work progresses favorably on the delimitation - limitation of the Afghan frontier , but tlio "exchange of maps" between the Russian and English commissioners will probably not take place before' ' August.

" LONG-LOST HUSBAND'S RETURN Cast Awny on a Desert Islnud Twenty Years Ago , Ho COIIICH Hack. Philadelphia Letter ! When Mrs. Alary Maxwell went to the door of her little coltugo up in Get/.lein street the other night in response to a sharp knock on its panels , she found without a woatnor- beaten man who implored for shelter. Mrs , Maxwell , a kindly por.son nt heart , who lived there with her only son , John , who is employed as brakunmn on ( lie Heading railroad , and who was soundly sleeping upstairs , felt a sympathy for the homeless wretch ami told him ho could sleep on tlio louniro in the kitchen. For twenty-throeyoais the good woman had been hoping against hope for the re turn of her husband , who , after the close of the war , and only a year nfter he had mude her his bride , him sailed away for China on a merchantman engaged in tr.-ule with the land of the Celestials. Her hair had turned white through worry and anxiety , and her fnco was lined with the marks of premature old ago. About a month ago she visited a for- tunc-tidlor in the hone that she could learn through her whether or not her husband was still alive. Thoseeress told her to look into n largo glass globe , and there , to her astonishment , she saw the figure of a man clinging to a mast , while the waves of thog ocean seemed to bo beating around him. From this she in ferred that John Maxwell , sr. , hud been wrecked at ben , but whether still living or dead she could not iumgiuo. Wlmt thu fortune-teller told her gave her no lighten on the subject and .she was as much in the dark as ever. V > hen the man asked for shelter she thought perhaps her John was asking shelter in some far distant land , nnd re membering tlio golden rule she could not turn the follow away That night she dreamed tlio love of her youth came to her , and when she awoke the idea sud denly struck her that perhaps it was lie who had thus providentiallv come to her very doors. Hastily dressing she hurried down stairs , only to find that tlio stranger had departed without waiting to say "good morning. " Half an hour later , while she and her boj' wore seated at tlio breakfast table in the homely little kitchen , there was another rnp at the door nnd the youth went to open it. The lodger of the night , without waiting for an invitation , forced Ids way in. "Mary ! " lie shouted , catching sight ot the white-haired woman at the table , "I have come back to you ! " Tlio next moment husband and wife were looked in a close embrace , while the son , with a dubious look upon his hand some young face , watched the procoodinir with interest. The story was quickly told John Maxwell had been cast away on ono of the islands of the Pacilic. There for five long years he had lived in Crusoe style , subsisting on the game and fruits at hand and living the life of a bar barian. When at last rescued it was by an English ship bound for Capo Town. Arriving there penniless , ho hud found work in the diamond mines of South Africa , A long sickness followed , leaving him half deranged. What followed lie 1ms little remembrance of , until about six months ago ho tound himself in ono of the chari table asylums for the Insane in England. He was dismissed from there , pronounced cured , and ho immediately set about re turning to America in search of his wife and child Reaching Philadelphia in Jan uary , after working his way across the Atlantic on a sailing vessel , ho Bought in vain to find some ot his acquaintances of the days of his youth. Failing in this he secured work on a schooner engaged in the coal traffic between hero and the oust , and lived while on shore in a cheap lodg ing house near Port Richmond. Finding himself without monny on the night in question and having no plaeo to sleep , he Knocked at Mrs. Maxwell's ' door , little dreaming that his wife and son lived within. When Mrs. Maxwell loft him alone In the kitchen ho picked up an old book oil * the manteliiicce , and by the light of the lire in tlio cook-stove at tempted to read. The name on the fly-leaf attracted his attention.

THAT BILL FOR FORT OHAIIA , Senator Maudorson Offers nn Explanation o His Position in the Matter , IT WILL BENEFIT THE CITY The General Kxprcsics Surprise nt the 1'osltlou Taken \ty the Hoard of Trade nnd tlio llco Hla- Itenfions , Senator Mundersoil i\i > 1nhi9. SKNATI : CIIAMIIKH , WASMINOTON , Juno 20 , 1830.-To the Edllor of the have noted with intieh surprise your ac lion at a late meeting of the Oiunln board of trade , anil the editorial com mr-nt of tlio Ur.r. upon tlio bill to remove the silo of Fort Omaha. The matter can not bo understood by you , or you would not have taken the eotirse you have whii'h Is ono prejudicial to the best inter csts of Omnlm and tlio slate tit largo. I care little for the relloction made tipoi my own motives , having been lon enough in public llfo to reull/.o that over n strictly conscientious performance ol duty will not permit ono In legislative station to escape calumny , but 1 do care for the success of a measure that means the advancement of the public sotvice ami much resulting good to the community and state which 1 have the honor in part to represent. I will give to you tlio reasons that prompt mo to so believe , thinking your material Interest in Omaha and your desire to act fairly when a subject is fully considered by you will prompt tlio speedy undoing of your adverse action. The placing of a largo military post nt Omaha , instead of tlio small garrison usually kept there , and scouring Its per maneney by enlargement ami expendi ture , was no new subject to mo when I came to the senate. years ago , when tlio proposition was mnuc to build the large brick building now used as a hospital at the fort , General Sheridan sent for mo to say that of tlio eighty acres of land used by the govern ment but forty acres belonged to the United States and the rest was held by lease ; that no permanent buildings of any description could bo erected until tliero was compluto title in the government to the whole eighty acres. At his suggestion I undertook to obtain such title nnd com menced action in the courts looking to that end. After the expenditure of much time and considerable monev for the matter was attended to witfiout fee 1 succeeded in procuring the title desired , vesting tlio fee of the land in the United States by the deeroo of the court and the deed of Mr. Kount/e. The title was approved by the attorney general , and tlio expenditures , resulting in tiio erection of the largo brick building tiio commnndintr officer's quarters , etc. were mndo by the war department. My recollection is that neither in the deed f r the original forty acres , nor in the de cree , nor deed for the hist tract , was there n suggestion of any reversionary interest In the event of a change of loca tion or abandonment of the fort. Hut before taking any Men in the direction of a bill , I endeavored to inform mysoif upon that subject. Among the numerous persons from Neliniolcn who were In Washington early in the session , with whom I talked upon the proposed removal ( and I received no discouragement from one of themal though my recollection is that you wore One of the number ) was Mr. Benjamin F. Smith. Realizing his large interest in tins welfare of Omaha , 1 asked him to talk with many of its leading citizens concerning tlio change of location , ex plaining fully to him as I will to you thn reasons inducing it , and I asked him to look especially to the matter of title and refresh my recollection. Ho wrote mo : "All nro much pleased with the probable success of your bill for the sale of lort Omaha and establishment of anew now and moro commodious one not far from the city. 1 Imvo ascertained satis factorily that the government title to the prcbont eighty acres is undoubted. " Now lot mo go back to the reasons which prompted the introduction of the bill and show you the necessity for the proposed change. For tlio last three yours when I have spoken to General Sheridan of my desire for the improve ment of Fort Omnlm , ho lias insisted that it was not well located , being too near the town and not on a railroad. Ho made thib same fitiggcstion to ( ionoriil Howard , who last siimnuir invited mo to go with him to .see a piece of land of about 000 acres owned by the South Omaha Land company , which they pro posed to trade for the land occupied by Fort Omaha , the government to remove or soil the buildings. The first I knew of the mtittor WIIH this Invitation , and after viewing the land with General Howard , I told the parties making the oiler that the war department had no power to nmko such an exchange upon any terms , and I did not believe uongrobs would consent to such a trade. The mut ter came to nothing. I was then persist ent In urging General Howard to nut forth strongly in his report the necessity for the repair and extension of Fort Omaha , and procured Messrs. lcdford& ! Saner , real estate ngonts , to see whether any land could be purchased near the post so that it could bo enlarged. They reported that suitable land could not bo had for less than from ? 1,000 to $3,000 per acre. At last General How ard ascertained that eighty acres of land west of the fort , in the hills , could be had for about ifUO.OOO . , It was suitable for a rillo range , but not for buildings nor for drill purposes. Ho made the estimated , however Purchase of land. S 23,000 00 Company nmiitt-r.s 27&iu oo Klvescls ( iilccrs' ) quarters : ; ou.o 00 Itepalr of old muirtors -i.ijOi ) . ' ! Itepalr of load , etc ir > , ( wo on 5100,101 43 Armed with this , I called upon ( ienunil Sheridan early in the winter. Ho wild ho would not recommend a dollar to repairer or extend Fort Omaha in its present location , and urged strongly tlio inconveniences of the bitualion. llu said thoru was no railroad leading to it and the transportation of officers , men and supplies to and from the depot nnd thu government corral was slow anil very expensive. Ho further biiggested that ICO acres or oven 200 acres was much too small for the permanent military station that ha hoped to be ablti to establish at Omaha ; that 1m believed in reducing thu number of western garrisons and making them largo ; that tlio post was lee near thu city of Opiahu for good discipline of thu men and the hind too valuable for such uso. Wu hud several intui- Views , and at last it was determined to urge u bill , substantially based upon the bill to sell Fort Urndy , in Michigan , for the purchase of a now site .and the erec tion of n new and enlarged fort. At 111 * request 1 dnnv anil introduced Hie bill a copy of which 1 hereto attach. It wu * referred to the war department , and In April , 1BSU , 1 received the favorable Jetton * from Secretary Endicott and General Sheridan , which will be fpupd attached to the rujiort of the uomniiltt'iS ' im njili- " "airs , of subject to their exposition , , but it to tlio measure that 1 should strip it of some of ( lie untruthful and unfair statements mude concerning it U is un qualifiedly false that any .special piece of land is intended to bo purchased , The bill provides for the purchase by the pec/ rotary of war of land , "within a tjlstaneo of ton miles of the city of Omaha.
