" JIM LAIUD Is good on his muscle , but the question is whether Nebraska wants to bo represented byrowilics in congress ? Tun best publicity for such a villain as the man Wooldridgo would bo as an at tachment to a telegraph polo or conve nient tree limb. THE Provident Savings bank of St. Louis , whose cashier ran oft" with every thing but the safe , ought to have its name cnangcd to the Improvident bank. A JURV has been finally secured for the Chicago anarchists. The general impros- fiiou is that it will bo as dilllcult to secure nu agreement as it was to obtain a full jury box. SENATOU VEST tried to do a good thing for the old Missouri river yesterday by moving to increase the appropriation from $375,000 , to $500,000 , but the sonata voted It down. Oi'EN cesspools , stagnant water , filthy alleys and slaughter Itouscs sending out their steadies over the city arc good hot- lods for cholera germs. The board of health should roll up its sleeves and got down to business. WHEN you meet a candidate for a state ofh'co in these days , ho wants it distinctly understood that he doesn't want to bo committed on any vital issue that affects the people's welfare until after the con vention has adjourned. Tun First district will nominate a can didate just one week before the state con vention. Church Howe has sot his mouse trap as skillfully as if his nanm were Jay Gould , lie now can pledge the Ncmaha delegation to half n dozen candidates for every state oflico and ho will not bo obliged to show his fine Italian hand until after tlio sold out delegations have delivered their goods to him. IT appears from a report just received Jit thostuto department at Washington -from Consul General Itain at Berlin , that cases of trichinosis have not boon decreased in Gormanyslnco the exclusion of tlio American hog from that country. Tjio consul states an instance in which of twenty hogs of Gorman growth micro scopically examined fourteen were found full of trichina ? , and ho says that such developments nvo convincing people of the fallacy of the theories which led to the exclusion of American pork from the Gorman market. The fact is that there was never any bettor reason for such exclusion than the clamor of the Gorman hog producers who wished to control the homo market. TIIK reports submitted iu tlio United States senate on Thursday , adverse to an investigation of the alleged use of cor rupt moans in the election of Senator Payne , do not exculpate the accused ex cept to the extent of saying that lie is not personally Inculpated that is , ho did not Jiimsolf engage in buying up members to vote for himself , Nobody over suggested or supposed that ho did ; hut is not n man responsible for the acts of his authorized agents ? The report of the republican members of the semite committee who Toted pgalnst an investigation is a mass of special pleading wholly unconvincing iud inconclusive , and while it may have the effect of throwing tlio case out of the only tribunal having jurisdiction , does not vindicate Mr. Pnyno. Tiir.iiK Is very great probability that the river and harbor bill will die cither at the hands of congress or by the veto of tiio president. It is not an en tirely simple matter to got at the mo- livcw which tro behind the conduct of cer tain members of both houses of congress iu relation to this hill which by tlio way IE always a bouo of disagreeable conten tion , and has for several years become inoro and inoru n source of Fictional dif ferences but there is nn evident disposi tion with bonio to handicap the bill for ilcfoat. The consideration of the bUl In tlio senate Thursday elicited nu acrimo nious tloTjnto that did not improve the situation , though it served to show the aountry something of tlio feeling that respecting this measure. It up- to lo : understood that unless the ap propriation under tins bill is kapt within juodcrnlo figures the prc-slrtout will not Tliloknml Thin , General Tlmycr has boon subjected to the exhausting pump of the Lincoln organ of railroad republicans. Tlio gen eral declared upon his honor that ho hns rntered into no political alliance with Senator Van \Vyck and ha * made no pledges on tlio senatorial issue to any of A'an U'yck's friends. General Thaycr has doubllcss told tlio truth. Senator Van Wyck 1 ? not trying to enlist candi dates for state offices to fight his battles. The people whom ho has served faith fully nnd well will take care of his cause , oven if the candidates for state otllccs hang back for fear of ofTenJing tlio rail roads and professional politicians. General Tliayor has also assured the pump handle at Lincoln that he has been n staunch republican through thick and thin and has never failed to support any candidate who had the seal of a conven tion on his coat tails. This will doubtless - loss bo very satisfactory to the machine rcpublinans who believe that conventions cannot err and prefer a disroucst repub lican to an honest democrat. l''rom our standpoint this thick and thin party de votion docs no credit to General Tlmycr's Intelligence. A man must have a cast iron digestion to stomach some of the candidates that have been foisted upon the parly in Nebraska by railroad corrtiptionisls within the past ten years , and an unusually elastic conscience to say grace after such a foul imal' We have had not only vor.y bad men nominated for high position * ; , but men who were utterly unlit for the discharge of the trust by reason of notori ous incompotcnoy , dissipation or want of brains , Tlio refusal of largo numbers of republicans to support such candidates has been no discredit to their patriotism or integrity. It takes greater moral cour age to oppose party candidates improp erly nominated than to follow the boll weathers. Good government can only ° y- ally to country should always stand above loyalty to party when the party is wrong or is being used for disreputable ends by bad men. A DiRRrnoo to tlioStnto. Nebraska has boon disgraced by the bloated rowdy who represents the Second congressional district in the halls of con gress. Tlio use of vile language followed by personal violence ma3- commend Jim Laird to tlio cowboys and saloon bum mers , who have been his mainstay during his public life , but respectable citizens , regardless of party , will hang their heads in shame over tlio spectacle wliieii ho made of himself in the affray at tlio national capital. It was bad enough in Laird to have been connected with tlio gang of bogus pro em ptors on Slinking Water creek. It was the height of brazen impudence in him to champion these land swindlers in the house by attacking the commissioner of public lands "and moving to strike out the appropriation for paying snccial inspectors specters of land entries. In his encoun ter witli Mr. Cobb last week on this ques tion Laird was confronted with his own record from the reports of republican inspectors specters who had exposed the true in wardness of .the Stinking Water frauds. Lashed into a fury by the stinging re buke which tlio house adminis tered In refusing to sustain his mo tion to abolish inspection of entries , Laird sought to reopen the controversy and to make a personal issue witli the chairman of tlio public lands committee. In place of argument this whisky bloated congressman used his list to convince his opponent and made a scene which ought to retire him forever from nublic life. If the republicans of the Second district attempt to inllict this man on tlio state again they deserve to bo disfranchised forever. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The Limit of Tariff Taxation. "Those who refuse to bo encouraged by prosperity , " declares the chairman of tlio ways and means committee in his able exposure of Sam llandall's apple jack tariff bill , "mav still take comfort in that public necessity which requires a revenue ol $100,000,000 to bo derived an nually from custom house taxes. " "It is to bo assumed , " says Secretary Manning in his last report to eong ss , "that during the present and tlio next fiscal year quite ono hundred and lifty millions of dollars must annually bo raised by duties on merchandize. " "Figures won't Ho. " The estimates of the secretary of the treasury and the chairman of the revenue committee of congress arc given as the basis ot tlio 15ii's : : assertion that an average reduc tion of little moro than ten per cent iu existing tariff dues will bring the ro , ceipts down to the revenue requirements of the government. Tlio fact that a heavy deficiency in last year's appropria tions has made an apparent increase in the surplus revenue must bo taken into account in estimates for the future. The certain expenditure of many millions in naval construction , sea coast defense and an increasing pension list cannot bo overlooked. The revenue requirements of tlio government when thosu expend itures are considered , will bo greatly in creased over the total of $245,000,000 , of the last fiscal year. With tlio internal revenue taxes as they are and tlio tariff cut down by tlio amount named , though a wise enlargement of the frco list and a reduction in tlio duties imposed on tlio necessities of life , the receipts of the aov- eminent will bo brought very nearly to a revenue basis. This is tlio view of men who look beyond the present to tlio fu ture. To talk about the abolition of internal revenue taxes is absurd. Humors of Cabinet Changes , Our Washington correspondent notes the fact that there Is a good deal being said just now relative to impending changes in the cabinet , the gentlemen atl'eotod being Secretary Manning and Attorney-General Garland. Regarding the former the correspondent expresses the opinion that U is as near a fixed cer tainty as anything can bo In politics that Mr. Manning will not return to the sovcro duties of thn treasury , while regarding Mr. Garland the oft-reported statomcntis reiterated that he desires to leave the cabinet whenever he oan do so with credit , both for personal rousons and to relieve the administration of nil onbarrassmont incident to his being a part of it. With respect to Mr. Manning , apart from the considerations touching his health , another very strong reason that maj impel him to retire from tlio treasury portfolio is the action ot the house of roprusontativcJi a few days ago In dvelar- intr , by nn overwhelming majority , a "want of concdcnuo" in his method of managing the department with reference to the public debt. If wd do not misapprehend tlio character of Mr. Manning , ho is not only very tenacious of his opinion ? , btu is very sensitive under rebuke , and ho must therefore feel keenly the con demnation vKilcd upon him in the passage - sago of tlio Morrison resolution. Ho can not do otherwise than regard that action as a notiro from the largo majority of lii < i party In the lower branch of congress that his llnp.nriat views arc not esteemed ol any value , and that so far as his party associates in the house are concerned they would require and cxpcet from him nothing moro than a faithful perfor mance of the executive functions of the office. Tlio situation must bo particu larly liumilatlng , also , to Mr. Manning when ito remembers that during republi can administrations no democratic house of representatives over felt called upon to pass such a resolution as that of Mr. Morrison. Under such circumstances few men of self-respect would remain in office , and since Mr. Manning has an ex cellent excuse in his broken health for retirement it is moro than probable ho will not resume the duties of secretary of tlio treasury. With respect to MB. Gar land , it would bo gratifying to know that that gentleman had definitely determined to satisfy a very general pttpllc desire for his retire ment from tlio department of justice , but ho has so persistently hold on in despite of this desire that very little conlidenco can be felt in reports that credit him with n purpose to surrender an office in which his usefulness has been greatly impaired , if not wholly destroyed. If Mr. Garland is awaiting llio time when he can leave llio oflico with credit wo are quite sure ho will never find a period moro propitious than the present , with respect eitiicv lo himself or ti 'l ; * ; ; , ' : tration. That remaining in office wiH not remove whatever blaln attaches to linn or rehabilitate him in public confi dence , lie ought to be able to understand us clearly as every other rational man does. He ought also to see that his pres ence in the government is a source of embarrassment to the administration whieli it is a pieee of gross ingratitude to continue. Even if it be claimed that the president has desired him to remain , tlio answer is that there was a point of honor involved which , with a nonsltivo mini , would have outweighed the president's wish , while if it bo said that Mr. Garland has remained in office with the idea of living down public opinion , it ought lo be plain to himself and his friends that tlio effort is futile , and that del'mneo of public opinion is not tlio route by which to regain popular confidence. The Mexican Pension Uoth houses have passed the bill to pen sion veterans of the Mexican war and the measure has now cone to President Cleveland - land for Ills approval. It will scarcely bo withheld. The survivors of the struggle of 1818 aie few and in the natural course of events their remaining years cannot bo many. The demand upon the treasury by the annual requirements of the bill will be a steadily decreasing one. Under the provisions of llio bill , $8 a month is granted to all soldiers and sail ors who served sixty days in tlio Mexican war or who were employed an equal time en route to the scat of war , or who worn in actual battle and were honorably dis charged Tlio same sum is granted to surviving widows not remarried. Every soldier , disabled or not , who is now sixty-two years of ago , becomes a beneficiary under the act , and tliosc who are not thus advanced in years will draw the pension when that ago is attained. But all soldiers , without reference to tlio ago limit , who have the infirmities recog nized in other laws as a claim to pen sion become at onto entitled to the pen sion named. Soldiers drawing pensions for disabilities incurred in the war of the rebellion are cxeopted. In case a soldier lias lost his discharge papers secondary evidence will bo accepted us proof of his service. Nebraska has a number of vet erans of tlio Mexican war who will bo bcnelitted by tlio operations of the bill. EDMUNDS and Logan had a tilt yester day in the senate. It was only a war of words , and did not amount to anything when compareu to the pugilistic sot-to between Laird and Cobb in tlio house. Other LutiilM Than Ours. The elections have decided Mr. Glad stone's downfall. The majority of thirty against his measure for homo rule has been swelled at the polling booths to seventy-live. A coalition ministry will probably bo formed within a few weeks witli Salisbury at the helm and Lord Ilartington assisting. The programme proposed is said to Include a local govern ment bill for England , Scotland and Ire land , together with other tempting meas ures which might bo described as ipringos to catoh woodcock. " It is not the first time that the torics have stolen the thunder of the liberals , and it is there fore not unlikely that some such scheme is in contemplation , especially as tlio calmness and moderation which Irish men have shown diinn < r the recent polit ical excitement have loft no excuse for the ro-establishmont of a policy of coer cion , i'or years it lias boon argued that Irishman were naturally Incaoaciated for self-government , and if any suggestion were made as to giving them legislative independence it was based brutally and sarcastically on the ground that they had "a. right to go to tlio ilovil In their own .way , " Now , however , when defeat has not oven raised tlio semblance of retalia tion , it is seen that coercion would not bo a question with which to como before the country , and Lord Salisbury mav , therefore , bring forward something which , of course , will not satisfy Ireland , but the rejection of which ho will use as an argument to prove the inherent dis content of Irishmen. * The czar is not waiting to hoar from the other European powers before pro ceeding with his warliKe preparations , and all the news from St. Petersburg in creases the general impression that llus- sia means war. Two regiments of the imperial guard have joined the other Russian troops in Bessarabia , and are quartered m Kishinev , the capital of that province , wliouco Russia invaded lion- mania niuo years ago , Tlio sum of 10- 000,000 , roubles has also been set apart to improve the ports upon tl.o Black sea and the Sea of Azov , which increases the prospect that the czar may attempt ttio i mined Into conquest of Turkey , Mean' while , Lord Uo oborry is preparing u pro test to be forwarded Jo Uussla , which will probably be signed by Germany , Austria and Italy as well , Itis thought that , in case of war , the o jfowcrs will act together , Great Britain taking the initi ative. Tlio circumstances that a lory gov ernment is likely to conduct these oper ations makes tlio probability of resolute and warlike notion by tlio British greater , and In this case HIP homo rule fi'i tion may be Indefinitely /Icfcrred. / The c/ar possesses ono great advantage over England , in that , being an absolute mon arch , lie can move 1m troops and appro priate his revenue at will , as the occa sion demands , insto.id of being obliged to defer to popular sentiment or await a vote in parliament. It seems hardly possible , however , tiiat the other states will overlook Russia's violation of the treaty of Berlin , or that anything but force will prevent the czar from keeping the port of Ualoum closed , * # The ninety-seventh anniversary of tlio taking of the bnotilo was celebrated Wednesday evening under the auspices of the French Americans of St. Louis. From tlio time of its foundation in liG ! ) to its destruction July 11 , 178l > , the bastilo was the emblem of the arbitrary tyranny through which the anointed kings of Franco assorted their divine right to rulo. Liberty in America has been constructive , but In Franco it was destructive because until tyranny was overthrown it could have no foundation. The ono act in tlio French revolution which all lovers of genuine liberty may approve without res ervation was the razing of the structure whieli for for so many centuries had menace' ! an enslaved people. The -Uh ami 11th ot July will always bo sacred to liberty , because on tlio one day a frco.tom was established ami on tlio other a tyranny overthrown. * * The iluka ot * Aivrvlu has umU'rlaKcn lo explain to America that tli&y are in u'O- found Ignorance as to the relation which .Ireland sustains to England. This may be so , but tliu duke's ignorance of mat ters pertaining to British affairs is equally as profound. When lie was secretary of suite for India , and Russia had occupied Murv , he announced in parliament that tlio place was only a collection of mud- holes , whereas.its alratczio importance was so great that its possession enabled Russia to got much nearer to her long cherished desire of seizing upon eastern India. * * The expulsion of the French princes has evidently given a new impetus to the monarchical propaganda in Franco. Several royalist journalists have been clyen a lengthy confcYenco with tlio ex iled Comte do Parig , and | tlio consequences quences of this meeting arc already manifest.

The number of new cases in Brmdisl for the first three days of tlio week was 310 and the number of deaths was 132. The number of now cases in L on tana was M7 , wlulo the num ber of deaths was 75. The largo death rate is accounted for by tlio statement which comes from Rome that thosu at- taqked suffer terribly , and that in many cases the patients die within an hour after the appearance of the disease. It is said that the villages near 'Iriesto and Finnic arc now affected. Probably the reports of mortality do not cover half of thu deaths , ami tliero is reason to behove that the disease is at work in many places from which reports are not sent out for publication.

To the Kditor of the JJii : : : A number of citizens of Douglas county are anxious to build on West 1-ur- nani street. Plans for their houses have been drawn and lots purchased. The board of county commissioners have been appealed to time nnd again to'ox- tend tlio grade of the street. All the par ties interested imyo petitioned the board to assess u third of tlio cost of such im provement upon tlio adjacent property , and thu petition lias been signed by seine thirty odd lot owners. Under tlio stnto law the commissioner * are fully em powered to proceed with the work. But moro than two months huvo now been frittered Mvay in needless obstruc tion on the part of the county surveyors anil neglect by tlio board. The total amount of earth to bo moved is only 4,500 yards. The last reason given for delay is that the county surveyor objects to the trouble of making out n detailed assess ment for each of the lots improved , Prop erty owners are accordingly asked to put up tlio nionoy in advance to suvo the county surveyor and clerk the work of entering the special assessment on the records. Tlio question is which h supreme , the law or the commissioners * Hundreds of thousands of yards of grading have been done in the county and city during tlio past year without u dollar's worth ot cost to the property owners bonolittisd. Men who are "solid" with the commissioners find no difliculty in having their propurty improved at little or no oxponso. In the present case , the property owners apply for grading under tlio law and ask to bu allowed to boar their share of the cost Himply in order to hasten the work so that they can erect substantial residences and build themselves homos. Tliaco.it of the work is so flight that it is dllllcnlt to sue what good reason can bo advanocd for the continued delays , W , Good Work , To the Kditor of the UKB : Allow me simply as an outsider to speak of a work that is being curridd on in this city by & few Indies that I am sure i.s not fully up- predated by most of our oitiy.ons.

Only a day or two ago a young nun from ono of the first families in the cast , n graduate f Yale college , was brought there verg ing on delirium tremeus. The ladies kindly nursed him , and with the assist ance ot ono or two young men , labored with him hour after hour all tluou < ; u thn night and day , bringing him back to reason and manhood , and pontiu ! < f him to a higher power to save him from Ids appetite. That eamo afternoon four men came in to sign the pledge , and one stood at the door in ho took his bottle lillod with whisky and dasliod it on the crouiid , These ladies have in the last six months rescued over llfty 3'oung men , most of whom have be come good eiti/.ens and liiembers of some of our churches. And yet these ladies have to beg day after day for the means of support. \ \ lion they give their time nnd nil to this work , should not the citi zens of Omaha support It , and not leave them to fear that each mouth will be the last' Jlrs.

The victory won by women nt tlio pres ent season of college anniversaries is nothing sliorl of a revolution In tlio ideas of what Is proper to 1m done within the walls of a college. Ten years ago it was n bravo man in most of tlio colleges who dared to say anything in favor of tlio ad mission of women to tlio privileges of a collegiate education. The Harvard Anuov began by apologizing for itself , and hits not yet hud u fair show at Harvard , and NVi'llpsloy and Smith and Hryn JIawr colleges are yet in the gristle of experi ment ; but public Ronliniunl lias shot be yond the heads nnd trustees of the older ami moro conservative institutions , aiid now there are but three colleges Yale , Amlicrst and Williams among the older Institutions that are not open to women in some form. This is a revolution in female education , and Is destined to work a great change in the culture of the noun- try and in professional lilc. Women spread culture better than men , because iliey have more time for It. If the pres ent demand for the higher education of women continues , aiid tliero is no reason that it should bu less , it will shortly como about that co-education will bo an ac complished fact in the higher institutions , as it is n reality in many of tlio country schools and in moat schools whore pri mary instruction is given. It would scorn as if tlio drift at tlio present moment wcls ! \ ( ' .

Brown University , for instance , is said to have yielded the point rniite as a matter of course ; while at the wc t , and in many of tlio state eolli-gos , the. two sexes have for some time been on sub stantially the same fooling , The good results of the higher education of women have vindicated tlio action of the lending institutions which had already opciie'd their doors to women , and llio full enjoy ment of collegiate education of women is now only a question of time every where. To have readied this result without special ufl'ort , and as an act of justice to the other sex , is one of the great educational victories of the ago. It i.s also one of the signs that the ideas of our own people ate working toward great practical realities in American life. There is no aristocracy in the United Stales but that of the intellect , nnd the opening of our institutions to women on u large scale is ( o be ono of Ilia sources of tno suslcnlulion of the larger culture and tlio wider sense of tilings tnnt is growing up among us. It will make itscll felt in the elevation of the middle class to thn plane of a gentler nuJ more subdued life. It will help powerfully to create tlio sense of refinement that is now largely lacking where one expects to find it. The victory for women is , in fact , so wide-reaching that it is dillicult to point to a department of jifc or society that will not be afl'eetcd by it. The change has como not a mo ment too soon , but it will be well to ad vance slowly enough to avoid the dan gers that are usual with revolutions , even when they are bloodless.

Editor of the llKUi Our political campaign is scarce open yet , 1mt already tlio several 'elements are getting ready to work the conventions of tlio two parties , which uro usually held in this county but a few hours before election day. Sfneo the year Sarpy county was organized tlio demo crats have always had a good working majority , and have , until last year , gen erally tilled every county olllco. Quar rels within tlie party have cost them severely , until now tlio eiilire board of commissioners is republican , nnd a re publican ( ills the ollice of superintendent of schools. Harpy county has always been considered an anti-monopoly strong hold , but contrary to the usual order of things , tliis anti-monopoly sentiment is largely in tlie democratic ranks. Not n dollar's worth of railroad bonds has been or ever will bo saddled on the countv.

So strong is tlio Van Wyck sentiment that evuti with their ono hundred majority in the county , it will bo impossible for the democrats to elcot their legislative can didate unless ho be n pronounced friend of Van Wyck , and will promise to sup port him , provided the democrats do not hold a majority in the next legislature. If the democratic candidate will not make such promise , then the Van \Vyck \ men will uuilo upon a Van Wyck repub lican and will certainly elect him.

Origin or a Kuniilmr "Word- Tinsloy's Magazine : The word "queer" has u remarkable origin attributed to it. One night , when the performance- Drury Lane was finished , the celebrated Quin. many of whoso joked are still re membered , offered to bet a voting noble man A'100 that next morning a word would bo in universal uo which had never been heard before. Tlio nobleman accepted the wngor and left the theatre. Then Quiii summoned all the "supers" who happened lo bo very numerous , and gave each a large piece of chalk. Ifo told them to go through .ill tlio leading thoroughfares of London and write nt intervals on the lings the word ' 'queer. " Quin's orders were faithfully carried out , and on tlie following morniug , of course , people were astonished tint word was in everybody's mouth.
