TJmt lit the Question. The Van Wyck question Is not nil fac tlonal ; 11 is a party question. Shall we prc ? nvo tlie party organization and principles or shnll we surrender them Into the hands o democrats ami the victims of the dotna- K0fue < > ? That Is the question. The leader : of the Van Wyck movement , including tin senator himself , have no more light to the appellation of "republican" than Morton Miller , or any other politician prominent Ii the councils of the enemies of rcpubllcanlsn In Nebraska , Omn/tu / ncpuMlcan , The republicans of Nebraska are noi likely to bo misled by factional appeals They know the sham from the real am they see through the party mask Ayhicl conceals the individual bushwhacker What constitutes a true republican ? ll loyalty and lldellty to principles and nr honest regard for the public welfare make a true republican , Van Wyck i ; a republican in the broadest sonsn of the word. Jlo was a republican in the days when some of tho.se who now hound hin and assail his party loyalty were howen of wood and carriers ol water for the slave-driving 'loin ocracy of the south. Ho was a re publican on the floors of congress , ex pounding free soil doctrines and defend ing republican principles , before tin party had any spoils to bestow. Ho wai a loyal republican who raised a remmenl nnd led it into action at tlu outbreak of the rebellion and gal lantly defended the ling in. the field while the Yosts , thcDawcs , aiiitlhei : ilk worn bravely staying at homo. Ue was n republican through the storim days of reconstruction when scores ol the battlo-scarred stalwarts in those parts had dosertcet to the enemy foi tlio llcsh pots of Andy John son. Ho was n republican in 187 when the liberal defection carried oil some of the great unterrilieel home guard warriors who fought and bled for Valentino tine and Jim Laird. He is a republican to-day if by that is meant the man who will champion the rights of the bondman against , the oppressor , the rights ol free soil against landlordism and lam grabbing syndicates. As the party of freedom and hnmar rights , republicanism stood out boldly as an aggressive champion of humanity. Its early leaders were men who sacrificed their fortunes and their comfort in defense fenso of American liberty in its broadest souso. But the republicanism of the plutocrats and corporate cormorants is as dillcrent fron : the republicanism of Sunnier , Wendell Philips , Garrison , Lincoln ami Greeloi as the night is from day. Debased bj party plunder and corrupted by the bane ful influence of the railroads on om political system , these bogus republican : see no higher objeict than serving their corooratc masters. The infamies thoj have perpetrated upon the people of Nebraska > braska during the past ten years are al most incredible. They have defeated needful laws for the protection of the producer. They have exalted to positions of the highest responsibility jobbers , rail road lobbyists , common swindlers , no torious dead beats and imbeciles , They have given us basswood governors , embezzling auditors , back and front pay thieves in the senate , and rowelios and bullies ir congress. Thov have filled county ami city ofliccs with political Canada Bills , confidence sharps , drunkards , gamblers and pimps. The link of sympathy be tween this horelo of jobbers and public plunderers has boon the railroad. Sail ing under the republican pennant or the democratic flag tlie.rc has boon one com mon post to which they were all bound and one adversary whom they have al ways opposed. The line and cry against Van Wyck's republicanism Is the merest pretense , If Van Wyck had voted for Fitz John Porter aa Jim Laird has done he would still bo a good enough republi can , providing ho trained with this villainous crew. If Van Wyck had been a political free bqptcr like Church Ilowo and supported jvfelso Pat rick for senator and Sam Tildon for president ident ho would bo a good enough ropub iican , provided he had been pliant enongl to do tlie dirty work of Jay Gould. It Van Wyck had snppoitcd Mortem for govcr nor of Nebraska in 1807 and Jim I3o.ye ] for mayor of Omaha in 1835 , like Caspoi 0. Yost has done , his republicanism would not bo culled in question as lon > ! as Ills services to the railroads wore toe valuable to bo dispensed with. Jf Var Wyck had been dishonorably cashiered from the army , like Valentino , "for frnuel in the purchase nnd sale of horses , ' or if ho had been notoriously connected with all sorts of legislative jobs like Cams , ho would still bo held up as ti model republican , providing always ho trained with the railroguo gang. The Van Wye ! : question has become ? party question. Shall wo preserve the cardinal principles of the party in tlicii integral purity T Shall Nebraska republicans cans administeir the trust reposed in their by the pcoplo for the people , or shall the party name bo trailed in the mire ot cor ruption undvonalltyf Shall Nebraskaro publicans surrender their birthright to the domluoorlng railroad bosses and their disreputable henchmen because they wear republican badges and vote straight in counties whom they control the nominations ? Shall the party con ventious this year bo again packed bj abject serfs and political attorneys oJ he confederated monopolies ? That is the question which appeals for decision tc tlio rani ; and lilo of tlio parly. An observant London correspondent records the fact that there is an oxccp < tionally largo American element in the population of the great metropolis , and that in one way and .mother the Americanizing icanizing of Kugland Is proceeding verj rapidly. As the American colony in Paris doorcases that in London grows , and the citl/.on of the republic is ubiqul Units in thu "motherland. " Every quality and condition of him is seen on evcrj hand the millionaire who apes the man ners ami methods of thn native aristoc racy , the preacher who seasons his vaca tion by ofllclatlng occasionally in SOUK pulpit with historic associations , the mar of litnnuurp in quest of material for his pen , the fortunate journalist who spend : his vacation abroad , the moro sight-seer , and the pretty girl who Wants to lno\\ : tlio ways of foreign society and porhrvp.- cnpturo a lord , as some American girli have done , Tltora has perhaps novel boon Jv timii when American influence yas more prevalent in Kngland in certain tain directions that it is at present , not withstanding the fact that tlu garrulous Duke of Ar/ylu nnd the solf-cotuphccul Mr. Goschem assure us that wo are fat nslray in our knowledge ftnd Judgmon of Kngllsli affairs. But it is doubtlcs much moro in a social than a poll ! ical way that American inllu once is recognized in England. On literature represented in Lowell nm Holmes has been splendidly honored Mr , Hccchor has received distlnguishci praise from the press and a generous do grco of popular favor. Manager Daly' comedy company has achieved n brilhan success and won from the critics the ac knowlcdgcmnl that it is peerless on th English stage , while American women with Miss Chamberlain ns the rclgninj beauty with title uuconlcstod , hold tliei supremacy ng.-uu.st all rivals. Tlicro i certainly qultn enough in all this to swul llio American citizen with prlete , but th correspondent adds that now cheap cdi lions of American novels are to bo fouiu on every railroad bookstall , that the Cm ttiry ami Jrcr's ) magazines outsell an ; similar periodicals , that American plnj ing cards arc for sale in many n Lomloi shop window , and that the palates of En glishtne-n are regaled in London rcstntii nnta with American canned fruits am vegetables , which abound on every grej ccr's shelves. On the wholes , therefore , i would seem thnt wo ought lo bo tolcrabl ; well satisfied with the footing wo have Ii the "tight little island , " whore the Amor loan sojourner may now find almos everything he needs for his convenient or comfort , fresh from his native soil , am a permanent colony ot his fellow-citizen feir company. The Foolish Tuft Hunters. There arc fewer eingagemcnts repartee lately of rich American girls with titloe snobs from abroad. Whether the forcigr. . matrimonial market has been ovcrstockue in this line , or whether Americans are learning moro sense from bitter experi oneiu , we arc not informed. The rush o titles after beauty anel money ami o beauty and money bags after what tliei cill "position , " has broken many wo men's ' hearts and filled the EngfUh court ! with numberless scandals. It is true that there are some American girls whe have married foreign noblemen anel wlie have succcoelcd in concealing from pub lie gaze the skeletons in tlio family closets ; but enough details have leakce out in a score of other instances te servo as solemn warnings to tuft-htintinj : mothers anel foolish daughters against the race for European titles without some regard to the character that ought to ge along with the same. As a rule , the foreign count , or lord , 01 marquis who seeks alliance with Ameri can girls is actuated by only one motive His lawful wifo'a dowery is oxpccteel tc pay the elcbts of his extravagant and dis sipatcd youth and support him in com fort anel indolence aftorwarels. Title ! hang on every bush on the continent ami can bo purchased for a song , but round half m.llions , with cxpcctan cies of bequests in tlio com ing years , are not so numerous. calthseoks wealth abroad , while amonp slioelely Americans wealth is often onlj too glad to kneel before a title , no mattei whether its possessor is n practical pan per or a characterless libertlno. What r shameful commentary it is upon matches of this kind tiiat scarcclya month ago the name of an American beauty was ban eiifjel about in the London press as break ing oil'an engagement with an Englisli earl because lie insisted that she should pay his debts and foot tlio bills for hif courtship presents , Miss Grant seems te have been moro sensible than some of hoi society sisters of Shodelydom , for while they would probably have cheerfully mel the demanel , she promptly broke the en gagomputand returned the noDlo Earl'i presents carelessly wrapped up in browr bulchorM paper. IT is announced that ex-Governor Cur tin , of Pennsylvania , is one of the mem bcrs of the present congress who will de cline a rcnomination , but ho is not un willing to bo the candidate of the elemoc racy for governor. Mr. Curtin is one o : the veterans who "lug superfluous" 01 the political stage , and llicro is a niora in his public career which the youngei uoliticifins may stuely to advantage. lie was one of the great war governor : ! , am until 1873 win an honored and trusted leader of tlio republican party. Piqued however , at opposition in his state whicl abridged his influence and power , ho elc sorted his party in tlio Grcelcy campaigr and has since acted with the democracy That party rcwardoel his defection b ; sending him to congicss. but the leader ; in that boely gave him littlei recognition and a scion of the liouso of Dolmont ii the present congress defeated him in hii ambition to bo the chairman of the foreign oign affairs committee. Although a man o ability anel high personal character , Cur tin docs not have the rospcet or confi donee of either party. His is another example ample of I ho penalty of political perfidy , Tun Herald kindly suggests that Rose water is a good deodorizer. Ho is. Ho Inn deodorized many municipal stenches ir Omaha by uncovering thorn to public : gaze and enlisting the best santimcnt in the city to remove their oauso. But he declines the task of eloodorizing the Herald. Tlio job is ono that may be safely lofl. to thn public , for whoso support - port it is vainly bleldtng while it strad- elles the badly yokoel team of a railroad job oflico and a pretended newspaper , "Ls it cholera ? " asks a sensational con temporary , referring to a supposed case of the droaelexl eilsoaso in Iowa. No , it is not. Cholera lias not yet reached om shores , It has yet to bo imported.

Mr. Gladstone Imn resigned , his rcslg nation has been accepted by the qucoi anel the Marquis of Salisbury lias beer summoned to form a now ministry. The first act in the drama of the struggle foi homo rule has ended. 'Iho curtain i : soon to bo rung up on a still moro exciting ing scono. Once moro Ireland is to oo oupy the attention of parliament. Whatever over the composition of the now ministrj it will bo forced bofora many days of the sossipn have passed to grapple once more in dobata with Iho supreme issue of local floU-govcrmuont.

The only matter upon which i would bo possible foiMlicnnti-homc-niloi to obtain a majority Is the Iris question , since upon alt other issue the lories anel the Hartington whig ! or Iho Chamberlain liberals , are 1 essential opposition to .each othoi But it is not to bo assumed that tlio horn rule liberals will permit Lord Sulisbur to ehooe his issue upon which to test hi strength.

In China , it is said , affectionate fathers of families will agree for a given sum to take the place of a criminal con demned to clonth ; and as the greater con tains the loss , ho who would sell his life would urobably also sell his oyo. But it would no awkward to have ono almond- shaped eye and ono blue Anglo-Saxon orb. Dr. May evidently fears that the visible supply of human eyes in the mar ket will full short of the demand , and ho proposes to substitute rabbits' eyes in stead. A men in which the fashion of castinff sheep's eyes has always prevailed will have no compunction at borrowing eyes from the rabbit. Possibly , howtivcr , it muy bo necessary to restrict the luxury to the tnalo sex. Grafting blcridn tlui nature of tlio graft with tlio parent stock , and as It is known that a pair of rabbits , if unmolested , will prodnc-o a progeny of 1,000.000 in four years , the results of rabbit grafting upon the fcmalo sex of our species might provo alarming. The labor market might bo iinablo to htund it. It is doubtful whether n rabbit's oyei planted in n human head could acquire expression. One cannot fancy it an eye like Mars to threaten and command , or an eye BO pure and honest that the Koul shines through it , or an eye that could send fair spuoclilns.-i messages , much less an eye that was the home of Kilont prayeir. Without moaning to bo disrespectful to a spaeslos with which it Booms wo are to become connected by a tiuof blooil , wu miialsay that tliu rabbit uyo is gogglo.

Several members of the presenl cable company hnvo been trying to make people believe that tlieii possess the only patents for grips which can be used to advantage' , ami their purchase ol this patent virtually gives them an exclusive franchise' ot cable cars In Omaha. Nothing can bo further out ot the way. As a mnttci of fact the grips which the new cable conv pany , if it Is organized , will use , can be pur chased at a much less price than that paid by the present company , and are in every re spect as safe and elite-lent for use In n city where the grades arc as light as they are hi Omaha.

The present cable company pretends that Its line will cost 370,000 per mile.
