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

tations of the law which do nol always
