" It has him already on hand. Incidentally wo may remark that wo hold tlio proof that the Herald's ' actual circulation is smaller than that ofmiy paper of its pretentious in the United States. CIIUHOII llown's candidacy tor congress - gross would bo ludicrous if that charlatan and motintobank was not backed by the strong inllnonco of every railroad corpo ration in his district. Wo miss our mark , however , if the most corrupt politician in the state succeeds in imposing upon re publicans of the First district sufllcioutly to capture the September convention. DtriciKO July the government receipts from customs increased $2,000,000 over 1lio returns of the same month last year. These figures indicate what William E. Gladstone called "tlio remarkable will ingness of America to submit to exorbi tant taxation. " The tariff is n tax im posed , on the many for the benefit of the lew. No play on figures or appeals to prejudice can make it anything else. DH. MILLKU'S latest contribution to the Jlerald gives a lively description of Buf falo Hill's Wild West. Now let the doc tor wrlto'lip an account of the Tildun memorial meeting coach in Omaha pur sued by the bushwhackers of the Herald. It will discount the Stilton Island wonder l > y a hundred points ami provo mighty entertaining reading for the respectable democrats which his paper denounces aa 'bums" because they refuse to train ttudei1 tho'packing housu ohcuso cloth. TUB Corcan peninsula , according to sonic interesting statistics sent to Wash ington by the American consul , promises to become a generous contributor to the world's supply of cold. Within a short * linio nuggets and particles of tlio precious metal , to the value of half a million dollars lars , have been found on tlio surface in localities , nnd there is a growing convic tion that the mountains are rich in gold. Hut the natives have no machinery for raining , nnd their strong prejudice against outsiders renders the countrj an uninviting region forprospectors. . Should it bo found , liowovor , that gold may bo sulllclnntly abundant to Justify any risk to secure it , a way wilt doubtless bo found to overcome native prejudice or to obviate the dangers incident to it. Co UK Is being ptirohivsod from Ne braska fanaor.s at prices ranging from 90 to 23 conts. Corn is soiling iu Chi- < h-c go at iloublo tlio price. In other words , it ittkos tin amount equal to the value of farmers' produce in Nebraska to got it to the market. Freight nitca west of Chicago are dou blet what they nvo east of the lakes. A bushel of corn can bo carried from Chicago cage elevators to Now York for loss than liulf tha rates charged our producers to transport it from the Missouri to Chicago. AYlth latui ynluutl at from thrco to four times what our people soutiro from their farms , the Illinois farmer is able to obtain u him- drpd pov cent moro ou his crop. Why ? Jkcnuso the monopoly of railroad trans- portatioit is broken by the nil water route from the lakes to the seaboard , J'Jastorn railroads are oontoutod with HBtui.il dividends of from four to six per cent on their enormous trailia. The yrestcrn trunk lines nvu setting aside from eight to twelve for thu bouolit of stockholders on their tremendous over- ftepitallsallon , Why ? Because the truflic ia thu absence of competition .bears rales vicli ! ! will return such it'profit on the In- ve&uucul. \Vna It Nonsense ? The republican railroguo organ of Omaha refers to the constitutional proVision - Vision of the stnto permitting the people to express their preference for senator as "nonsensical. " It dubs the popular vole m such a rase as "utterly worthless and Impotent" and assures Its few readers that the law if used will bo "ineffectual nnd worthless. " It was to bo oxprclod that thn explo sion of Senator Van Wyck'.s ' bombshell In tlio monopoly camp would throw the railroad cohorts into confusion. The confession of their dismay is found in the howl of the Jlcjmblican. The law passed to carry out the provision of the constitution was drafted In response to an overwhelming public sentiment. The rotors of Nebraska had been repeat edly sold out by thuir representatives In the legislature In the choice of a senator , Tlio popular will had been dolled and political tricksters nnd railroad attorneys had foisted upon the state for thu highest position in the gift of the people , men who could not have received a corpoial's guard of alollowingif they hadsubmitted their claims for the srnatorsltip to the proper vote. The election of Hitchcock was secured by tliu boldest and most barefaced bri bery. That of Paddock resulted from a corrupt combination of the democrats and the railroad republican. ' ! . In neither case the popular wish was consulted. Tliu statute for whoso enforcement Sen ator Van Wyclc appeals permits the voters of Nebraska to indicate llio'tr preference for United Stales senator and makvs tlio canvass and return of such votes mandatory upon nil election olliccrs. Its aim is to leave representa tives no shadow of an excuse for over ruling the wishes ot their constituents. Its intent is to make tlio popular choice the legislative choice for sen ator. Its object Is to ilo away forever with the system which permits corrupt bargaining at Lincoln to sot aside the honest preference of electors freely exprcsscil at the polls. Kvery trickster who has made a trade of corrupting our legislatures , every mo nopoly tool whoso hand has been busied in distributing bribes at legislative ses sions , every corporation hireling editor whoso efforts have been directed to pull ing the wool over the eyes of voters and misrepresenting public sentiment , natur ally shrieks with alarm over a proposal which will effectually doslroy thuir occu pation. It is "nonsensical , " "utterly impotent , " "worthless , " and "under no circumstances would the [ railroad ] re publican candidates for senator consent to have their names used in connection with so ludicrous a proceeding. " The public will look at the matter dif ferently. They will applaud the manli ness of a candidate who prefers to leave to tlio people the decision of his claims to the ollice rather than to follow the devious paths of the legislative still hunt. They will approve the moral bravery which in cites tlic champion to throw down his gauntlet in the political arena anil chal lenge his competitors to the gage of bat tle in the full sunlight ot publicity. Bayard's Hallucination. A Baltimore paper which assumes to bo the mouthpiece of Mr. Bayard , or at least to rellect the views and feelings of the secretary of state , continues to rep resent him as believing that party oppo nents have exerted themselves to embar rass the department of state and the ad ministration in dealing with the Mexican issue. The Baltimore journal is quoted as saying that Mr. Bayard and other officials in his department bitterly com plain of the treatment received from those who wish the present administra tion evil , nnd it is intimated that "repub licans and former olllcialsof this govern ment" have been in communication with tlio Mexican government in relation to the controversy in a way to render them atncnablo to the law. In our issue of Tuesday wo showed the absurdity of cither party attempting to give this matter - tor a political complexion , while as to what was alleged regarding the views of Mr. Bayard in this particular wo wore disposed to consider it nothing more serious than the invention of a corres pondent. The repetition of tlio state ment , liowovor , with some additions and amplifications , seems to remove nil ground ot doubt that the secretary of state really thinks that a studied effort has been made by political opponents to embarrass him in conducting the diplo matic controversy with Mexico. Kvery man of fooling will sincerely hope that there is no foundation for the theory advanced to account for this evident hallucination of Mr. Bayard , that ho is breaking down under the heavy burden of domestio aflllclion and ollicial and political troubles which have been heaped upon him during the past year. And yet it would not bo surpris ing if such were the case. To have lost by death a beloved wife and daughter in the space of a few weeks was of itsoll enough to have broken the strongest man and driven him to a refuge of seclusion from public cares. That Mr. Uayard has berne up under his heavy bereavement and kept steadily on in the performance ot his ollicial task is more remarkable than would have boon a diflbront result. In this sorrow ho had tin ; sympathy of all true men. With respect , howcror , to the oflicial cares and political troubles , whatever they may bo , that harrass the secretary of state , there isvery little reason for commissoration. They are very largely or wholly of his own making , and mr.y bfl ascribed to two controlling motives the desire to reward his friends nail the hope of strengthening himself for the future. These are not necessarily unworthy mo- tlvos , but in the case of Mr , Bayard they have led him into very serious mistakes , and In the Inevitable result of defeating his chief purpose is doubtless to bo found tlio source of his prwent unhappy state of mind. Instead of improving what ho must have regarded as the great oppor tunity of his life , he has worse thiin wasted it by domour.tratlng a want of judgment and capacity in the direction whore thosq inwlitio.s would be particu larly demanded in a wider field of ad- ministrativc ah I political activity. With respect to many of the appointments for which ho is ju tly hold responsible , he has tfhovrn that Hither ho is uot a good judge of men or thai personal considerations wore stronger with him than those touch ing tlio ellicipncy and welfare of the sur- vice. In this regard no one of lilu prede cessors was so Yimcrable to criticism as Is Mr.Ilayard. This ! the moro romarkabio and disapuolnticc brcr.uso of lisa long experience In politics and In public lifo. Ills administration of the department has not satisfied the country for the reason that ho has been neither sure nor strong In responding to the demands of nn urgent exigency. His course with respect to the fisheries con troversy was characterized first by a con cession of doubtful lugallty , and there after by a dilatory nnd shambling policy , nnd it seems evident that his lirst step in the Mexican dilliculty was a blunder , which ho is now seeking to rectify with out further humiliation to the country. It is not surprising that this accumula tion of mistakes , which of course carry with them extraordinary care and trouble , should weigh heavily upon Mr. Bayard , nor that , realizing how vulnerable * ho Is to criticism and nttack , and how much weaker ho now is in popular regard than ho was when ho became a part of the ad ministration , ho should fancy that every movement ho makes calls up some politi cal opponent eager to nmbarrass and thwart him. Tlio IliiRlncsH Situation. Omaha clearings show that whatever thu condition of business elsewhere , the Gate City of the trans-Missouri country is maintaining her splendid lead of com mercial growth. Klsowhore the distribu tion of general niurchandlso is gradually increasing , though there Is no rush nor oxcltnment in nny department of trade. The approach of autumn is causing a healthful expansion of demand to meet present and prospective requirements , nnd the volume cf trade Is steadily en larging. Several branches of business have not yet emerged from the condition of dullness always incidental to the period "between Reasons , " but the out look is brightening in all direc tions. The hardening of interest rates cast is an evidence of the improving condition of trade. Money is going in larger .sums from eastern Hnuneial cen ters to the west and south , to assist in the movement of the crops , and is finding wider and more profitable em ployment in the development and exten sion of various business enterprises In all parts of the country. The temper of traders everywhere is cheerful and hope ful , and the preparation for fall wants substantially attests the general confi dence in the prospects for a prosperous season. Business failures last week num bered 141 in the United States and 10 in Canada , or a total of 107 , as against lol the week before and 103 the previous week. The textile markets arc strong. Wool is moderately active wl th no signs of weak ening. Mills are generally well employed on orders , and the delivery movement absorbs a largo share of the current pro duction. Now business in package lines of dry goods is quieter , as jobbers have stocKcd up pretty freely and are now waiting for a partial depletion of assort ments. The jobbing trade , howeverx is opening up earlier than usual at loading centres east and west , and already there is some demand for duplicates from in terior jobbers. Everything points to a good general business in dry goods and allied branches of trade during tlio next sixty days. The iron and steel markets are fairly active and generally stronjr , with indications of an improving ten dency in the prices of plate , sheet , tank , pipe and bar iron. Manufacturers in many instances are preparing to increase capacity in order to meet the expanding requirements of the trade. The produce markets remain well sup ported. Wheat shows a stiffening ten dency in the face of a liberal movement of winter grain to all commercial centres and the expectation of increasing ship ments of spring wheat. Domestic crop reports have had little effect on the market , which has been influenced mainly by the continued buying of ex porters and by advices of unfavorable weather in the United Kingdom. Prices are 1 } to 2 cents per bushel higher in all markets as compared with figures cur rent a week ago. Corn has been neg lected by shippers except when low rates of freight oy regular line steamers have enabled them to fill a few orders. As n rule the export trade in corn is dull , because speculation is holding prices anoyo a shipping basis. Receipts at western centers have increased , but stocks of the better grades have not ac cumulated at any point , as domestic re quirements are absorbing the bulk of the offerings. Crop conditions have not im proved in some sections and changes for the worse in others , and the outlook on tlio whole is not materially different from that of last wcok. The Price Current says , in substance , that ten states that raised throe-fourths of last year's crop now promise a yiohl of 77 pur cent of last year's production , or a total of 1,115,000- 000 bushols. The remaining portion of the country is in a fairly good condition and will have a crop approximating 450,000,000 bushols. ONE iiuuDitED and six years ago the Continental congress appropriated $10,000 for a monument to the memory of the patriot and hero , Baron Do Kalb.whodid inestimable service and gave his lifo to the cause of American independence. On Monday the monument provided for more than a century ago was unveiled at Annapolis , Md. , that being the 100th an niversary of DoKalb's death and the bat tle of Camdon. Thn soldier whoso fame has after the lapse of so many years boon commemorated in granite and bronze was ono of the distinguished figures in the war ol the revolution. Inspired with the love of liberty ho came to America with Iwiifayotto and reported to Washing ton at Philadelphia , His subsequent career was ono of constant activity in the fluid , closing with his death at the battle of Camden , where ho displayed extraor dinary bravery. Ho enjoyed the confi dence and esteem of Washington , and lus memory shares with that of Lafayette a claim to Ihu homage of Americans , THE experience of Atlanta , Georgia , with prohibition , which has been in oper ation there ( iinco July 1 , is thus far anything - thing but encouraging for the advocates of that policy. During July there wcro more arrests , chiolly for drunkenness , than during tha preceding month. In addition to Ibis- fact ono of the papers makoi the statement that since the law wont into effect the consequences have boon scriounly damaging to the material welfare of the city. It says there is "less money in the city and state treasuries ; lass business houses occupied ; less moral ity ; more drunkenness ; more crimes nnd criminals ; more poor people out of em ployment thun over before ; more taxes pu.1 unou the people ; more extra licenses imposed upon the merchants , and more dissatisfaction amonrfnlJ classes of people - plo than ever has oxOjt. > d before. " A ro- suit of this oxpcricnoo U the formation of the Conservative cliibi < nn association of citizens whoso pnf poio it Is to occupy a middle ground between the extremists the prohibitionists and the free liquor advocates and to seek ito bring about through a high license system a practical solution of the Hiluof question ono which , while not disregarding the moral considerations so far ; as they may bo subserved by tlio proper regulation of the traflie , shall at the suna. time have re gard for the material Interests of the com munity. Tlio conservative clement is said to bo growing rapidly , and it will test Its strength by putting a full mu nicipal ticket m the field at the next city election. The old story ot open and persistent violations of the law Is ro- pcatod hi Georgia , and it Is said that the drift in all Darts of the state Is against further prohibition. TIIK answer of Attorney General ( Jar- land to the bill filed by J. Harris Hogcrs for si sctllomnnt of the affairs of the 1'an- Electric Tulophono company , the merest outline of which is given by telegraph , will probably shed some new light on this interesting controversy that will give it a fresh claim to attention. There will undoubtedly bo very llttlo difliciily in es tablishing the fact that Hogors tricked the members of the company most un scrupulously , in giving assurances which he never intended to carry out ; but ho may have justified himself on the ground that several of the individuals duped , among them Mr , Giu-land , had no busi ness In such a connection and did not dc- serve to bo fairly treated. Convicting Rogers of being a scamp will not , however - over , help the case of the gentlemen who while senators of the United States ac cepted the stock of the Pnn-Klcatrio company as the price of their ollicial In- iluonce , in the expectation that it was to become immensely valuable , and with the tacit understanding at least that they were to give their influence to make it so. That was a mistake which these gentlemen cannot explain away , and which will not bo mitigated by showing that Hogors wis dishonest. TUB attention of Building Inspector Whitlook is called to the structure now going up on North Sixteenth street be tween Webster and IJurt streets , north of Mr. Shrocdor's drug storo. That part of Sixteenth street is within the lire limits. The building now tip to the second story with a iramo front and veneered sides , is clearly in violation of the fire ordinance. If built as planned if will , bo a dangerous shell in case of adjac'put jjlres. TIIK Herald does mot. like our news paper census , which showed an actual circulation by carrier for that paper of something over eight hundred copies. Still the Hcmhl has never dared to take up those tell-tale street1 numbers which gave the number of evu'ry house where its carriers slopped * oni their morning rounds. < * THE postal division headquarters for merly presided over by John B. Furay have been transferro'd t'p Denver. - Wo congratulate Denver , upon getting an other federal oilico and asgopdanoiUcittl as Inspector Brown. We can do this with good grace in return for the trade which Denver is steadily transferring to Omaha. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ANOTHER injunction is out restraining tlio street car companyfrom laying cable linns in Omaha. Unless the approach of winter is also enjoined the amount of cable-line track laid down this year will not seriously inconvenience cither traffic or street cars. NKBUASKV will have good crops this year if frost keeps at the usual distance during September. Good crops for Nebraska mean good times for Omaha. The prosperity of the state is the back bone of the future of her leading city. THE republican railroguo organ calls Senator Van Wycli's manifesto "tho wail of the defeated.

Some malicious wretch throw dynamite into Gcorgo Oulko's fish pond , near Ne braska City , last week , killing most of the fish. Mr. Oelkc offers a reward of $30 for the arrest of tlio scoundrel. Alvin Hanson , a young man aged twenty-two , was drowned while bathing in the upper reservoir at Kearney , Sun day Ho was unable to swim and waded beyond his depth. The body was re covered. The stalwart and boodle section of the republican party stoop to small and con temptible meanness to show their malice and mental littleness. Out at Stronis- burg last week Senator Van Wyck was boosed for an address. Being unable to roach the town at the designated hour he sent a telegram to tlio editor of the Head light requesting a postponement. The dispatch was received at the Stromsburg pllico , but was not delivered till next day , although the party to whom it was ad dressed was in the operator's room for hours after its receipt. The result of this contemptible trick was the disappoint ment of scores of people who came to hear the senator. Town Items , Arrangements arc being made for the publication of a paper by the woman suffragists of Dos Moincs. The Boone authorities have decided not to license traveling frauds in the future to do business in their city. A Masscna voting lady is so modest that when she hangs stockings out on the clothes line she covers them with a veil.

Sioux City talks of organizing a base ball club with a capital of $ :5OUO : , for a visit to Omaha and a game with the Union Pacifies. Sioux City is too slow. The dead arc past resurrection. A little girl in Scott county while play ing about a well by misstep slipped and fell into the water , about ten feet below. Her brother , with fon-thoujrlit and hero ism which would compliment an older person , dropped a rope into the well , slid down it ana saved his sister. A frightful accident bofolf Mr.Villiarn \ Kckert , of Charter Oak , a few evenings ago. Ho was returning homo from Deni- son , and the night being dark ho drove into a creek , overturning his wagon , which uinned him partly under water , in which uncomfortable position he was compelled to stay until next morning , when assistance arrived.

Famous Dinners nt Which I'roniincnl Jlen AVui-c I'l-csont. New York Cntoror : 'J ho London Magn- y.ino was established in January. IS''O , llio publishers being Messrs. Baldwin , Craddock and Joy , and its editor Mr. John Scott , who had formerly edited the Champion newspaper. Among IU con tributors worn Charles Lamb and it was hero that he laid thu foundation of his fame Mr. lla/.litt , Thomas Curlylo , Mr. Do Qttinccy , Allan Cunning ham , John Hamilton Reynolds. Thomas Hood , Keats unit Montgomery ( the pools ) , Walter Savage Lander , llov. II. F. Cary , and others of ' ote. By the aid of these the magazine ttoquircd much reputation and a very considerable sale. Duriiig it career of live years it had , tor a certain stvlo of essay , no superior--scarcely an e'qual- among the periodicals of the day. It was. perhaps , not so widely popular as works directed to the multitude instead of to the select few might have been ; for thoughts and words addressed to the cultivated intellect only must always reckon upon limited success. On the death of Mr. John Scott , the magazine. , in July , 1831 , passed into the hands of Messrs. Taylor and Hossoy ; the former being the gentleman who dis covered the identity of "Junius" with Sir Philip Francis. On assuming man agement they engaged no editor. They were tolerably liberal paymasters , the remuneration for each page of prose boing. if the writer wcro a person of repute - puto and ability , 1 ; and for oueh page of verse 2. Charles Lamb received ( very liUy ) for his brief and charming essays two or throe limes the amount of the other writers. The proprietors , when they purchased the magazine , opened a house in Water- lop place , and it was there that the con tributors met once a month over an ex cellent dinner given by the firm , and con sulted and talked on literary matters. These dinners were very social , all the puosts coming with a determination to please and to bo pleased. J do not know that many important matters wcro ar ranged for the welfare of the magazine , at these dinners ; but the hearts of the contributors were opened , and with the expansion of the heart the intellect wid ened also. If there had been any shades of jealousy among them they faded away bctoro the light ot the friendly carousal ; if there was any envy it died. All the fences and restraints of authorship wcro cast oil' , and the natural human being was disolosud. Among others , Charles Lamb came to most of these dinners , always dressed in black ( his old amiff-colorcd suit having boon dismissed for .years ) ; always kiiul and genial , conversational , not talkative , but quick in reply , eating liltlo ai.u drinking modoratnly with the rest. Al lan Cunningham , a stalwart man , was generally there : very Scottish in dialect , but ready to do n good turn lo anyone. His talk was not too abundant , although ho was a voluminous writer in prose. His songs are , as everybody knows , ex cellent. Reynolds caiiio always. His good temper and vivacity were like con diments at tlio feast. There also camu once or twice Kev. H. F. Cary , the quiet gentleness of whose face almost interfered , with its real intel ligence. Yet ho spoke well , and with readiness , on any subject that he chose to discuss. Ho was very intimate with Lamb , wlio latterly often dined vdlh him , and was always punctual. "By Cot's plcssing we will not bo absent at the grace , " ho writes in 1834. Lamb's taste was vcrv homely : ho liked trtpti and cow- heel , and once when lie was suggesting : i particular dish to his friend he wrote : ll\Vowcro talking of roast shoulder of mutton and onion sauce ; but I f corn to prescribe hospitalities. " Thomas Hood was there , almost silent except when ho shot out some irresistible pun and distributed the. gravity of the company. Lamb admiral and was very familiar with him. "What a fertile genius lie isl" writes Bernard Barton , "and quiet withal. " II then expatiates particularly on Hood's sketch 01 "Very Deaf Indeed ! " whnroln a footpad has stopped an old gentleman , hut can not make him understand what he wants , although he is firing a pistol into his ear- trumpet.
