' OMAHA is full of strangers hunting houses. Heal estate transfers are boom ing , but there arc ton inquiries for real estate to every lot sold. It is to be great year for Omaha and those whc have banked on the fatt arc finding out that wisdom is a proiitablo invent reent. A LAWYEU has appeared bcforo the ocal authorities with the request that an assessment of 81,000 bo taken from the property of a neighbor and placed upon " } his own lot. It is needless to say thai the interesting incident did not take place I ! in Omaha. Kingston , N. Y. , contains * this rcmukablo prodigy. NEAHIA- ton million dollars were lopped offtho public debt last month , bul overtaxation of tlio many for the benefit of the few by the operations of our out rugooiis tarllF charges has received no consideration at tlio hands of congress , In the words of Gladstone , no other na tion on the globe would submit to sucli oppressive taxation. AND now comes the charge from the railroguo republican organ thai General Van Wyck dodged the Totes on the Fitx John Porter bill and DCS Molncs land veto. The senator was on Ills way to Nebraska and was "dodging" train boys and peanut peddlers - dlers at the time. As he took care of his right to "pair , " his vote counted just thu amo as if ho wore present. Nextl Till ! river and harbor bill has been in creased several million dollars by the flomUo. There is a haunting suspicion that by the time it reaches the president \ its mission will bo ended. Mr , Clove- Aland's veto seems to be an assured fact , I It is a misfortune for the west that the ' right to veto individual items in appro- I priation bills is not vested in the cliiel I executive , In consequence , where lou rolling measures like the river and liar- / bor bill are submitted for executive ap ' prbval they must bo approved in tote 01 disapproved , bad and good items alike , A aoou deal of Interest is being shown in thu east regarding the proposed Ameri can exhibition to bo held in London next year , and the outlook for tlio "groat phow" Is represented to bo oxceodinglj favorable. President Cleveland has ac cepted the honorary presidency , and it h expected that the Prince of Wales will accept the presidency of the London .council of welcome , which it is believed would give the exhibition a boom , since the prince is said to bo an admirable organizer. The purpose of the exhibition is to introduce to the direct attention of Europeans , in tlio world's metropolis , all that is best of our productions from the farm , the mines , the factories and the mills all thu best results of the inventive genius of our people , with the best ovi- Uoncos of the industrial progress of the nation in every department. The project Appeals at once to the pride , interest and patriotism of the American people , and the enterprise ought to receive general nnd generous support. If carried i out us the plan of the projectors contemplates , the exhibition cannot fail to prove a revelation to Europeans , for it jmist bo remembered that of the ten mil lions of people who visited the centennial exposition at Philadelphia the number of Xuropoans is said not to hayo exceeded one per cent. That such an exhibition , if ol the character and extent that it should te , would bo a source of ultimate adyant- gze to all interests represented , does not limit of a rational doubt. An town Knight. ' The trite old aphorism , "When rogues fall out , " etc , had a somewhat vigorous Illustration In the * Iowa democratic con vention last Thursday. The incident that gave spirit and splco to the asscmblapn , and without which the convention would have bcnit a rathrr tame and common- plaro ntl'alr , was the introduction of a resolution elution denouncing the state senators who accepted pny , amounting in each case to ? 210 , for the time preceding the Brown impeachment trial during which the senate was not in hpssion. If a dyna mite bomb had exploded right in theeen- tor of the hall it could not have created greater confusion limn ensued upon the reading of this resolution , and one of tlio salary-grabbers , Senator Knight of lu- ljiiqutbounded from his spat with tlte sud denness and agility which characicri/.o the movements of a man who sits down hard on the pcnetratlng'cudof a bent pin , Mr. Knight waved his white hat above his head , and with llailting eye and warlike mien chal lenged ' .ho attention of the startled and perspiring bourbons. He was evidently loaded for the occasion , and ho poured out hot shot with Galling gun rapidity. Ho characterized the resolution as a lie and its author as a liar , and demanded that before the convention ventured to brand men as rascals who hail taken a few hundred dollars from the state treas ury , it would bettor turn its attention to the evils and abuses of the national ad ministration. The circumstantial way in which the valiant Knight indicated to Ids fellow-democrats the subjects which might properly receive then-denunciation was to the last degree confounding , and tlio frantic and howling mob lied in dis order from the meeting place. It is refreshing to got the rare treat of a candid and straightforward confession from a domocract of the hollowness and insincerity of the party's professions. In the present instance Mr. Knight left nothing to bo desired in that direc tion. Ho declared what every honest democrat in tlio country will concede , that the politicians of the party do not approve the general course and policy of the president and that their proclamations to tlio contrary are false and meaningless , and ho furthermore de clared what every intelligent citizen knows that the present administration is far from being invulnerable , and all talk about its exceptional purity and honesty is the merest fustian. Although the con vention adopted the denunciatory reso lution and indulged in the usual "ful some llattory" of the president , the dem ocracy of Iowa must bear throughout the campaign the weight of Mr. Knight's angry , though not therefore less truthful , accusation of insincerity and dissimula tion , and of his candid and'just arraign ment of the democratic administration. Gladstone Against the I-Mold. Tlio BEK'S special cablegrams tins morning give an interesting review of the English elections with side lights from such distinguished Irishmen as Justin M'Carthy and Timothy Harring ton. Mr. M'Carthy ' writes from Ulster bringing cheering news of a probable nationalist gam in the strongnold of Orangeism , and the correspondent from Dublin predicts that whatever the result in England the Irish "phalanx will bo found as solid in 1880 as that of the Sons of Liberty in Now York in 1770. " .The ministers may bo beaten across tlio channel , but Parnell and his supporters who have brought homo rule almost within sight will again sit in Westminster to force the issue to a successful conclusion , even in the face ot an adverse majority. In England tlio contest is between Glad stone and the Qeld. The issue must not bo mistaken. Many of the so-called lib eral unionists are friends to home rule whilst opposed to Mr. Gladstone's plan. Such men as Bright and Chamberlain and Caino are agreed upon the necessity of Irish reform , and are as strongly op posed to coercive measures as many of Mr. Gladstone's followers. They have split with the premier not upon the principle of homo rule but upon its application. In consequence , all the liberal-unionists may bo counted upon to oppose any attempt to renew the era of coercion in Ireland , whilst most of thorn will unite in supporting a modilied meas ure of homo rule If Gladstone's defeat car ries with it , as it doubtless will , the defeat - feat of his ministry and his bill. Up to hist returns , Mr. Gladstone's followers had lost seven scats In the contested elec tions of the week. Scotland gives indi- lions of being strongly Gladstonian and Ireland of more than holding her own. The English boroughs are not polling the expected vote , and the hopes of largo liberal gains have been disap pointed. Hut the most decisive elections are yet to come. If the ministry is de feated it will bo probably by a majority so small that it will bo diilicult for either lories or u coalition of Its opposing fac tions to form a government which will last many months. Whatever the result , homo rule cannot bo defeated. Mr. Glad stone's retirement may postpone thu day but it cannot long obstruct the march of political progress in Great Britain. Jo IOHSop.s' Jjttst KfTort. The appeal which the Panama canal company made some time since to the French government for authority to issue a lottery loan of 000,000,000 , francs to con tinue work on the canal has attracted at tention for two important reasons ; If the appeal of the company shall be de nied , as may bo thu case notwithstanding its great Inlluenco and the fact that it has strong friends In the government , then the end of the enterprise so far as the ex isting company is concerned will have come , nor is it likely thai any new organ- izalion would take uu the unpromising work. If , on Iho other hand , the govern ment shall accede to the request of the company there is likely lo arise a very serious international Issue between the United Stales and France , for nothing could bo bettor assured than thai Iho American people will not quietly submit to the assumption by Iho French government of any idontilication with this enterprise. So long us it is continued as a pnvnto undertak ing there will bo no obstablo put in Iho way of its progress , but any Inlerfornnco on the part of the government of France will bo resisted. There is some reason to apprehend that the well understood feeling of the Ameri can people on this subject is rather lightly regarded in' France , and will not exert so much influence as it ought to do in shaping the sentiment and action of the government. There is a sort of 'patriotic faith In Dp Losscps that give him crcat power , ami it is notitnprobabli that tlio force of the Influence he cat bring to bear , every bit of which ho am his associates will marshal in this last an prcme effort lo save the enterprise fron threatened disaster , will bo stronj enough lo overcome those who may op pose their scheme because of the Intcrna tional controversy in which it wouli involve the two countries. Tliosi having the most favorable mean : of information predict that the chain her of deputies will vote the bil Introduced by the government nllowinf the Panama canal company to isstio i lottery loan , thereby so far associating the government with the enterprise tha when Ihis loan is exhausted , as il speedily will be , il will become * a comparative ! ; ) easy mailer to force the completion o : the projeet by the pressure of public sen lime-til upon thu government. It win doubtless this view of the very probable result of the canal company's new loat : scheme that prompted the introduction in congress , some days since , of a resolu lion declaring that the United States wil ! view with "great solicitude atiel disfavoi this contemplated action of the i'rcnuli government , or any other measure cal culated to identify it with the Panama canal. " Those who at thn oulset condemned Ihis project as impracticable long ago found most ample justification of thoii judgment. After the expenditure ol nearly a thousand million francs upon tlio work , oven a French govern ment .agent sent to examine it , and undoubtedly predisposed in its favor , is unable to report anything more encouraging of the canal than that it is a possible undertaking , but that the date of its completion and Iho cost lixcil by M. de Lessops are mure than proble matical. The additional six hundred million francs which the company seeks would not meet a fourth of the expendi ture yet to be made. The Panama canal is the monumental failure of the nine teenth century. Another Vunilci'liilt Girt. Cornelius Yandorbilt , thu present head of the family , has added another gift tc Iho number which have been made latelj by those of his name , which is perhaps si more practical benefaction than any oi ils predecessors. Mr. Yandorbilt is about to erect for the benefit of Hie employes of Iho New York Central and allied lines a largo building in New York city , foi which he proposes lo pay out of his own private purse. The structure will be free for all his railroad employes. It will contain bathrooms , gymnasium and bowling alleys in the basement ; a read ing room , library , room for games and olliccs on the lirst lloor ; a largo hall for general meetings and rooms for classes on the second lloor , and rooms for jani tor's family and sleeping rooms for men coming in late or detained in the citv over night in the upper story. In addition there will be a theatre with a stage for private theatricals , lectures , concerts and devo tional exercises , anil a room for the rail road branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. In his letler lo Iho dircclors of Iho Now York Central , making Ihe tender , Mr. Yandcrbilt calls attention to a well known fact , which should have a wider appreciation among employers. This is Unit all experiments looking lo Ihe wel fare and comfort of employes have been proved lo foslcr and promote good feeling and secure better service , while they cause a general recognition of common interests in'the joint work of employers and employed. This is a phase of socialism lo which none can lake exception. It is a method of distributing surplus wealth which bene fits alike the benefactor and the boucli- ciurics. Good wages are not everything , after all. Employers who interest them selves in their employes' welfare and minister to their wants are in turn repaid by the interest which their employes take in promoting the worlc of thu establishment. Many a workingman - ingman has declined to leave his job for higher wages because ho was at tached to an employer who felt thai Ids whole duty to his men did not end with giving them employment. Mr. Vundcr- bill has done much lo redeem Iho Yan dorbilt name from tlio odium which the avarice of the commodore and 'tlio arro gance of the commodore's son attached to it in publio estimation. This latest gift is only one of the many private benefactions - factions which young Vaudcrbilt has been distributing during the past ten years among Iho worklugmen and poor of New York. Tlio BInrfllial's Inconipatcucjr. The packing house organ returns to the charge and attempts lo bolster up Mayor Hoyd's remarkable change ot fronton the marshulahip question by protesting'thai Marshal Ciimmings is incompcilonl. Wo have seen no evidence lhat the pres ent marshal is not as efficient as any of his predecessors. Omaha la a largo city with a small police force , which cannot bo materially increased because lax dodging runs riot and Iho levy for police purposes is limited by law. Marshal Cumings has done his bust with the forces under Ins command. Where one policeman is expected to cover five square miles ot ground it is manifestly absurd to berate the marshal for incompcloncy because an occasional burglary or free fight takes place with a policeman blocks away. Tills paper has no interest in the police force , except to see il make the bcsl of a bad job in covering an immense ter ritory with a few men. The marshal has given satisfaction to all but the kid- gloved democrats of the packing-house brand , and violators of thu law and or dinances , To please tlio one he would have lo please Iho other. Ills chief in- competency seems to bo his failure lo fol low oul Mayor Hoyd's peculiar interpre tations of the law which do nol always agree will ] the letler of tlio statutes.

The county commissioners who fc deeply insulted because * one Head cxei clscel his prerogative as a citl/.cn < Omaha and questioned tlio correctness c the assessment are , highly elated ovc what thp.y think a brilliant stroke of ai fority. This consists In lowering insten of raising certain nsspsnnents , as de mamled. In Ihis way the commissioner propose to show whaindangerous matte it is for any 0110 to venture to mcetdl with the annual job of stroking Ihe back of lax shirkers hnd pulling Hi screws on the men of moderate mean ! So far as Mr. Hoaetys chnriros agalns certain firms were concerned , we ar quite ready to admit that lie probabl , attacked In some instances the vronj men. Ono cflect of the mvostigatioi which ho forced was lo bring out ; the dis proportionate taxation borne by ou jobbers and wholesalers. Il was propc in Iho commissioners , lids being Iho case lo reduce the assessments where the , worn manifestly too high. Hut it was a highly improper in the board lo pcrforn its action in a manner intended to en ? discredit upon honest inquiries into ta : dodging nnd to leave the impression thn Head's ' charges had only operated to th disadvantage of Iho county instead o drawing ollieial attention to the recklcs disregard of the revenue law by our clt ; assessors. If the county commissioners rcall ; wish to make a brilliant stroke lot then raise tlio assessment in real cstalo in tin Third ward 25 per cent , double tlio as sessmenl on unimproved property licit by wealthy capitalists In the First am Second , and cast their ollieial pencil down the lists of the Fifth nnd Sixth. I is sheer folly for the board lo protein thai tlioy cannot lower or raise the ag grcgato assessment They know belter Under the staluto they are bound K equalize Ihe assessment whatever tin result upon tlio totals. Their business i : to correct inequalities in the assessment An Incrodso or a decrease incident ti equalization is entirely legal. The mos brilliant stroke ot business which SOUK of tlio board could make would botokcei sober for a few days while they arc at tending to the business of Iho county.
