T"K nfl'octlon which every scheming political mountebank and shyster rail road attorney now displays for Nebraska farmers is. HO ( loop that it can't bo fathomed by a twenty-foot sounding lino. The campaign Is on. THE newly elected commandor-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Republic , General Lucius Falrchlld , has served twice as governor of Wisconsin , once as consul general to Liverpool and a term as minister to Spam. He is n popular old soldier and n genial and accom plished gentleman. John Sherman is doubtless in training , John A. Logan lias his weather eye care fully trained on the white house. Perhaps - haps Mr. Kdmunds meant to hint gently that republicans should carefully weigh the claims of the two senators last men tioned as standard bearers in the next contest. Republicans could go further and faro worse. SOME wlso prophets have discovered that Senator Van Wyck will encounter "considerable opposition. " This is a great find , No candidate for senator in Nebraska over had an easy walkaway in the struggle for a seat nt Washington. If Senator Van Wyck proves nn excep tion to the rule it will bo because the railroads propose to actually retire from politics. | SENATOII VAH WYCK hag returned homo and will mingle freely among his neighbors and friends during the congressional recess. Some of his constituents will have tin opportunity to listen to what the senator has to say upon moro live topics tlmu army organization or tlio number of copies of tlio congres sional directory which public interests require - quire to bo printed.

Hut the substitute whom Dr. Miller had imported from Minnesota s a natural born wrecker , and ho was in tis clement when ho found that his chief ladsomo nnomics in thu party whom ho lesiretl to bushwhack. So the war was on again , nnd the Herald , which aspired to dominate tlio whole democratic party , swung once moro in line as the bludgeon > f a rule or ruin fragment. So intensely malignant has this com- non scold become Unit oven the death of Sam Tlldcii was jumped at ns .in occasion for hammering and ticking democratic leaders whom the > arty hail honored against tlio Jlcrahl's ' > l > positlon. Such a disgraceful spectacle las never been presented in the state. There lias for years been strife among epublieans in Nebraska , but they have icver yet had tlio indecency to fall out over the corpse of a public man. Memo- ial services have been held hero over lalf n do/.cn eminent republicans , at which I he leaders of all factions pavtlclpa- .cd in pcnieot harmony. Had any of , hem dared to show n spirit of factional ntolerance they would have been stamped .0 death politically speaking. It remained lor Douglas county democrats to present .o the country the unseemly spectacle of a quarrel over the bier of their most dis tinguished leader. The paper owned by one of the actual pall bearers of Mr Tildon should of all others have been the last to instigate and carry on such a disgusting exhibition. It only shows what men with small mlndsand big galls can do when they occupy a position which demands men of n largest calibre. DOCH JIo Menu These ? Mr. Kdmunds being safe in his sena torial seat for another six years , thinks that the republicans should skip thu cast in their search for the next presi dential caiutidatc. Mr. Kdmunds is sate from assault. The railroad Icicle from tlio Green Mountain state will not bo approached preached by the next nominating con vention. With undoubted ability , pro- round learning on constitutional ques tions and long experience with national allairs , Air. Kdmunds lias yielded too often to the blighting blandishments of the corporations to expect popular sup port as the nominee of his party. It is scarcely probable that Mr. lilaine will be again selected to load the party. A defeated candidate is not ordinarily considered n party mascotte to head a second assault. Those who are wisest in tlio party councils are generally agreed that nothing would be gained by taking up the cause of the man from Maine u second time and again waging a defensive - ivo campaign on the question of record. This is possibly what Mr. Edmunds hints at in his remark. But how about the west ? Mr. Ingalls Is out of tlio question. He is able. , bril- hint and witty , but ho lacks mental bal- * last. The corporations of Kansas and elsewhere lind in him one of their strong est bulwarks against anti-monopoly pres sure. 'Mr. Ingalls would not do. No monopoly. The cable road at the very outset llnds itself blocked by a temporary injunction crantod by Judge Dundy of the United States district court. Although it was to liayo been expected that obstacles would bo thrown in the way of the cable road by the horse railway company , the grounds upon which an Injunction is asked for are preposterous. In these days of broad construction of public rights in their relations to public corporations the plon of oxelusivcncss has long since been exploded. The supreme courts of tlio various states nnd the fed eral supreme court , have time and again decided that the grant of a franchise to a public corporation cannot bo mailo ex clusive. The Omaha horse railway can not maintain a monopoly of all our streets or any of them as a vested right. They hold a franchise to operate n city rail road , but they cannot block tlio whole street as against any other corporation which may obtain the privilege of carry ing on the business of a common carrier in our streets. If it Is conceded tlmt the horse railroad hax the monopoly of all the passenger traflio in the city limits , then they might as well assort ownership of the streets. But wo Imvo no idea that the plon of monopoly Is any thing moro than n device to delay the building of the cable road. Dismissing tills point , there are doubtless other questions upon which the street railway company can make a stronger stand , They must roall/.o that Oinulia has reached n point where faster transit is demanded. Wo must liayo cable road service over tlio hills to the suburbs. If the horse railway company would trans form its main lines into cabin roads they might bo. force in tlio protest , against , double the service on the same streets. Otherwise the public will insist that they shall not bo deprived of the benefits of inventions by which the slow poke mule speed can bo supplanted by rapid transit. Tilden and Cleveland. It may bo of considerable service to Mr , Cleveland to have it understood that his relations with Mr , Tildon wore of the most friendly character , nnd that cer tainly as to ins silver letter and perhaps with respect to some of his other views and acts ho had the approval of the Into sago of ( Jroystone. In view of the fact that Mr. Cleveland docs not appear to have many of the leading men of hi.s party very solidly with him , it would seeni to bo quito expedient that he should , if possible , counteract their inlluoncu with the rank and ( llo of tlio party by showing that ho nnjoycd the personal ro- gpoct and political confidence of the lirst democrat of hU time , nnd if ho can suo- cnssfnlly make ths | showing he muy war. mutably indulge tho. expectation of a ro- nomination , which ho undoubtedly dc- biros , lila friends are prompt in deny ing statements uiado .since the death of Mr , Tildon reflecting unfavorably upon thojr relations , nnd producing fapts to ponfuto those statements. It is Assorted . Tildan strongly favftroij tlio iu 1831 , and that nil of his warmest friends , directly under the inllucnno of the distinguished leader , of whom Mr , Manning is one. wcro nrdcut boomers of Cleveland , while the anil Tilden men quilo generally were his active opponents. The pupil and friend of the dead politician , who is said to liayo learned of him his earliest lessons in political management , Manning , was the president's llrat anil last choice for secretary of tlio treasury , and when the mindof Mr. Cleveland was perplexed with the question of expedi ency in taking two members of the cabi net from New York , Mr. Tilden was appealed to with the result known. Another pupil nnd friend of the dead lender , who is perhaps moro thoroughly imbued with Tildenlsm than oven Man ning , is Colonel Daniel Lament , who is understood to hold a place nearer to the car of the president than any man In tlio cabinet or elsewhere. A letter of Mr. Tilden to Mr. Cleveland Is published in which tlio silver letter of the latter , so sharply reproved by the democrats of I lie forty-eighth congress , is commended as being "absolutely perfect , " and it is fur thermore said that the president wab the recipient frequently of letters from Mr. Tilden , among them one within n month inviting hlmselt and wife to pay a visit to ( jrcystone. All this seems conclusive enough in disproof of the statements that have been somewhat freely made to the cll'cct that these potentates in democratic politics were estranged , nnd it is not doubtful that a discreet use of these facts by the friends of Mrl Cleveland would bo very much to the advantage of the president with the party. It is perhaps unnecessary to remark that Mr. Cleveland' : ] ca.so will bear any amount of bolstering that can be given it between this lime and the assembling of the national democratic convention. An Unfortunate First Kxperlenoe. It is to bo regretted tlmt Miss Cleveland - land has at tlio very beginning of her editorial career encountered a most disagreeable - agreeable dilliculty , which if it does not at once bring to an end her literary work in the west , either from her own choice or the force of circumstances , must in evitably detract from its usefulness , for the shadow that has fallen upon the pathway of Literary Life by the financial collapse of its publishers will still further narrow the already restricted field in which that publication had found a clientele. Although perhaps no very extraordinary results were expected of Miss Cleveland in her new Held of in tellectual activity , there was still a most ecarty general desire that she would make n success of the venture , and really find in tlio west a fulfillment of iier vivid and genial , if somewhat unsophisticated , imaginings of the possibilities of this land of promise , and a generous fruition of her rosy expectations. There was assur ance that if she could go on unlramelled with the doubtful enterprise of which she hud taken tlio editorial control , she would at least givu it a unique individuality and a distinctive character that would render it interest ing , and there wns reason to hope that in time it miirlit ho made a gratifying suc cess in her hands. Miss Cleveland is un questionably nn accomplished woman , nnd she has given proof that she has a tact for readily adapting herself to new conditions anil circumstances. Siie has a great deal to learn in her new occupa tion , but she would doubtless in due time acquire ; the essential knowledge if the op portunity to do so remained. At present , however , it seenn likely that the opportunity will not remain. Unless Literary Life shall pass Into other and more responsible hands than those of A , I1. T , Elder , its speedy death is more than probable , and should Kldcr attempt to kuop it ulloat It is not likely after the exposure of his financial hollowness - ness , and ns the dispatches represent the matter , his thoroughly unprincipled nml dishonest business methods , that Miss Cleveland will consent to bo further identified with him. She must feel deeply indignant at having been made tlio victim of tlio basest deception and false pretenses , clearly shown by the disclosures of tlio financial rottenness of Kldor , and she is not the sort of person to condone a proceeding which can only bo properly dfaraotomod as un outrage. The mistake of Miss Cleveland was in not making a careful inquiry as to the financial standing of this publisher of Jsitcrary L\fc \ , which she could have in formed herself of in Chicago with very little trouble ; but this is nn error for which she cannot bo blamed , while the fact that tlio guvo'full confidence to Elder's now evident misrepresentations , to use no harsher term , renders his course more heinous ami contemptible. It is shown that Kldor was worse than bankrupt when ho contracted with Miss Cleveland to edit his periodical , and that both with respect to her nnd the pubho ho has boon shamelessly playing a game of false pretenses , while with respect to his creditors lie has been doing oven worse than this. The suspension of Lit- entry Jitfe would not bo nn irreparable loss , and would occasion no regret ex cept ns u present disaster to the pleasing anticipations and cheerful hopes of its accomplished and universally respected editor. . SECKCTAHV BATAIID is reported to bo quite sanguine that the Issue between the governments of the United States nnd Mexico , growing out of the Cutting affair , will bo amicably adjusted , nnd thu Mexican minister nt Washington , who is unqoBtlonnbiy n warm friend of this coun try , has publicly stated his conviction that there will bo a satisfactory settle ment. As Mr. Baynrd , however , ndlieres firmly to his view that the assumption by Mexico of tlio right to try and punish nn American citizen for a crime under its laws ( iguiustn Mexican citizen commit ted ou American soil , is untenable and cnnnot bo tolerated , nnd the Mexican government appears to bo equally firm in maintaining its attitude , It Is evident that the SQltlemont of tl o controversy may not bo BO easily accomplished as might at first thought be supposed , The puoplo of the United States will certainly insist upon a vnry material modification , is not a complete abandonment of Mexi co's extraordinary assumption , but ; ft muy rerttiiru something moro urgent and practical than diplomatic logic nnd per * suasion to oil'eut this result. THE report is current that a controlling Interest in the city water works company Is about to pass into the hands of Boston capitalists. Wo hope that this report will provo true , Omaha has outgrown the local water works company ami this community would1 l-be'lbenefitted ' by nn infusion of foreign Q.ipilnl and n neces sary enlargement of the works to meet the demand of n cit # covering forty square miles of territory. The people of Omaha Imvo exhibited a great deal of forbearance toward the , homo company because it was known that they had strained their means to operate the works under many uhadvantages. The time has como , lunvoTor , when either the present company or some other company must renovate their works nml give tills community what the cditrnct calls for , clean , wholesome water from reservoir pressure. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE new treaty of commerce between England and Spain , which goes into ef fect on next Monday , gives to the former country valuable commercial advant ages not enjoyed by aiy other nation in trndorelations with S.nin. ] The Mircwd- ncss and superiority ot English diplomacy in this direction was ngnln illustrated in the arrangement of thi < treaty , the bone- Ills from which the mcvliantsnnd manu factures of Great Britain will enjoy to the exclusion of those of other countries , and particularly of the United States , our government never havng been able to successfully compete with England in ad- vnntnngeous commercial relations with Spain. IT was to be expected that tlio Cutting imbroglio would be tt.kcn advantage of by the inventive fancies of the corre spondents to send oui alarming reports , but nothing was locked for quite so absurdly incredible nslho statement which comes from El Paso tint the Governor of Chihuahua has ordered the authorities of Paso del Norto to cir off Cutting's head and deliver it to lh Americans in the event of an attack froia Texas. Tun character of C.ittlng has nothing to do with the principle whether Ameri can citi/ens are to be imprisoned by for eign governments for offenses committed on their native soil. NHN'I PKIISONS.

The most complete answer to Bayard's assertion that Cutting's otl'ense was com mitted "wholly on American soil" is toiind in the action of the Mexican court in pronouncing the American culprit guilty. The finding of the judge was based entirely on the original libel , which was written , printed , and published on Mexican soil , and the reiteration of the calumny in an American paper coupled with an indecent assault on the court were treated merely as aggravating cir cumstances , if indeed they were consid ered at all. Wo fail to see anything in the final judgment of the Mexican court which will authorize any complaint on the part of Secretary Bayard unless ho is determined to make American black guardism more respectable abroad than it is nt homo. Facts now established beyond question show that Cutting was a resident of the Mexican town of Paso del Norto and was engaged there in the publication of a disreputable sheet. It was in Paso del Norto that ho wrote , published , and cir culated the original libel against Medina , and there is not the remotest doubt but that for that net ho wns responsible to Mexican law. Indeed , when brought into court Cutting did not deny the surisdic- tiou of the Mexican authorities , but begged for a compromise , nnd through the leniency of the judge it was agreed to dismiss the charge if the accused would publish a formal retraction in his Paso del Norto paper in tlio manner au thorized by the Mexican law. By the contemptible trick of printing tlio re traction in extremely small typo without punctuation or capitalization Cutting violated the conditions of his release , anil was , moreover , guilty of contempt of court. Not content with this ho caused a reiteration of the original libel , to gether with nn assault on I ho Judge , to bo published in an American paper across the river , and it , is alleged that ho aided personally in circulating in Paso del Norto this second edition of his calum nies. nies.No respectable lawyer will say that Cutting's act of bad faith in violating the conditions of his release did not revive the original charge against himor , rather put it where it was before , with an ag gravated circumstance added. His first ofl'onso was perpetrated wholly on Mex ican soil , and for it lie was amenable to the Mexican courts conclusively ; and having abused the lenity of the judge nnd violated the terms of his discharge the authorities at Paso del Norto were oound to proceed against him nuow.So far a.s this case is concerned it is immaterial whether or not Cutting's second and third libels were printed in the United States and circulated in Mexico in such manner as to ma.ro him responsible to the laws of the latter country , and that matter is in teresting only as it suggests whether the Mexican authorities have not still re maining charges under which the Ameri can libeler can be sentenced to the peni tentiary for additional terms. Cutting has shown himself a licentious iibeler and a craven trickster who used the protec tion of American citizenship while seek ing to violate the laws of Mexico , nnd it is time for Mr. Bayard to cense hia mis representations of this cuso. The latest report is that the Mexican government , having vindicated its laws by trying and convicting Cutting , will set him tree by pardon , in tlio hope of "pacifying tlio United States. " The Mex ican government should donothingof the sort. It has attempted merely to enforce its laws against an offender who nlmso.1 tlio lenity previously shown him nnd who should now ho awarded tlio punishment ho merits. And so far us "pacification" Is concerned , when the facts now coming to light are generally understood in the United States it will bo conceded that Mexico is not the conntry whoso state de partment is called upon to apologize or put itself in an attitude of humiliation. Tlio United States can hardly afford the disgrace of compelling Mexico to revoke a lawful , righteous act simply because she is an inferior power. Mexico lias nothing for which to apologize , and she should keep Cutting whore ho belongs. Brolron-Down Actors. CMcagn Ttmct.

Ilor performances of tlio tralicxd li u u > lighted millions and her lot in life had been envied , She died unrecognized in a charity hospital in New Orleans , and her body was being dissected , as those of thu unclaimed paupitr dead arc , when some of her profession obtained and gave them burial. Her lot was that of many of her class. Exposure , Joss of sleep , lack of rest , nnd constant exertion oven whnn fatigued had broken down her constitu tion early In life. In order to enable her to Dcrform the nets required of her she bad for years made frequent use of narc9tlcs. The gratification of her acquired love for narcotics and her love of dress had swallowed up her earning * , nml she died n pauper , with none but charity nurses to minister to her wnnls. A London paper of recent date gives n sad account of the vast number of biokcn-down actors and actresses that congregate in tlmt city. It declares that they constitute the most miserable lot that ran ho found In the great metropo lis. Tholr condition is oven worse than that ol decioplt sailors , miners nnd street laborers. Many of them are possessed of flue talents. mo t of them well educated. nnd all of them "havo seen bettor days.1 Not a few of them are still young. 1-or a variety of reasons , however , they can no longer find employment in their old pro fession , which is generally overcrowded , nud they cannot obtain other occupa tions. As a rule they are oomplotolv destitute. Many of them spent n small patrimony in preparing for the stage At llrst their pay was very .small , and they wcro able to save nothing , lu their more prosperous days , moul of their sal aries was required for stage or ordinary ilrc-is.

ICvont Tlmt Followed the Kail of Hluliiuoiid , ( icneral Dnko in August Bivouac ; It was determined tlmt we should rosiuno our march that night for Washington , On. , ono or two days' march distant , and orders were issued by General Hreckin- ridge that we move at midnight. About ton o'clock t received a message from General Brcckenridgo that ho desired to see me immediately. 1 went to his quar ters , and ho informed me that the treas ure which had been brought from Hieh- mend was nt the railroad station , and that It was necessary to provide for its removal and transportation. Ho in structed mu to procure a .suflicicnt num ber of wagons to remove it , and to detail a guard of fifty men under a field olllcer for its protection. He further informed mo that there was between $500,000 and ? OW,000 in specie he did not know the ex act amount the greater part gold. 1 must , he said , personally superintend its transfer from the cars to the wagons. This was not a very agreeable duty. I represented that if no ono knew just what sum of money was there , it was rather an unpleasant responsibility to mpose on tlio party who was to take charge of it. 1 would have no opportunity to count it. nor possible means of ascertaining whether the entire amount was turned over to me. lie responded that all that had been considered , and bade mo pro ceed to obey tlm order. I detailed lit'ty pioKed men ns guard , and put them mi- dor command of Col. Tlieonliilus Steclo and four of my best .subalterns. 1 ob tained six wagons , and , proceeding to the station , began at once the tusk of re moving the treasure. It was in charge of some of the former treasury clerks , and was packed in nioney-uelts , shot-bags , a few small iron chests , and all sorts of boxes , some of them of the frailest description. In this shape L found it loaded m open box-ears. I stationed sentries at thu doors , and , rummi : < ring through the cars by the faint light ot a few tallow candles' , gathered up all that wasshown mo , or all that 1 could find. Bather more than an hour was consumed in making the transfer from the cars to the wagons , and , after the latter had been started off and had gotten half a milo away , Lieut. John B. Cole , one of the olllcors of tlio guard , rode up to mo with n pine box , which may have hold ? 2.00U or ? 3,000in gold , 011 the pommel of the sad dle. Ho had remained after the others had left , and ferreting about in a car which wo thought wo had thoroughly searched , had discovered this box stuck in a corner and closely covered up with a piece of sacking. The next day Gen. ISrcckinridge directed mo to increiiPo the guard to 200 men and take charge of it in person. I suggested that Instead of com posing it entirely of men from my brigade it should bo constituted of details from all five. 1 thought this the best plan to allay any little feeling of jealousy that mig'ht arise and insure a moro perfect vigilance , as 1 foil persuaded that those details would all carefully watch each other. My suggestion was adopted. Nearly the entire guard was kept con stantly on duty diiy nnd night , and a majority of tlio whole escort was generally - ally about the wagons at every halt , closely inspecting the guard. At tlio Savannah river Mr. Davis or dered that the silver coin , amounting to § 103,000 or * 110,000 , , bo paid to the troops In partial discharge of the arrears of pay duo them. The qunrtornmstera of the several brigades wcro engaged during the entire night in counting out the money , and a throng of soldiers sur rounded the litile cabin whore they wcro dividing "tho pile" into their respective quotas until early dawn. The sight of so much money scorned to banish sloop. My brigade received $33 per capita , olli- C < UM and men sharing alike. Gen. Brcck- inridgo was paid that sum , and , for tlio purpose , was berne on the roll of the brigade. The next day , at Washington , 1 turned over thu residue of the treasure to Mr. M. II. Clarke , noting treasurer of tlio confederate states , and experienced a fooling of great relict. 1O7 Yearn Old , Wants a I'oiision.
