RUSSIA to Enijlimd : 'What arc you
to doubout it ? "
THEUE scums to bo 110 very alarming
rush of candidates anxious to muut Gen
eral Van Wyck on tlio slump.
A itAiLiioAD to thu northwest , built and
operated by Omiilin capitalists , woukl bo
worth its cost in a singles year to onr city.
IT is a wise property owner who knows
his own door yard since tlio shovel and
scraper bricjado have begun to get in
their grading work.
I'AVINO 0:1 : Sixteenth street is being
rushed. So is the relaying of the sido-
wnlks. The street will be completed in
full season for the fair.
WnEitr. combination fails to sec its
own interests competition should be used
to force fair play. A line from Omaha
tapping the Elkhorn valley would pay
handsome ; returns on the investment
THAT chronic sell-out and bribe-taker ,
Church Howe , thinks ho has the river
counties solidly in his support. The
First district convention may prove an
oyo-o'peiier to ttio .Nemahu trickster. .
SUNSET Cox is meditating returning to
Now York to run for congress. That is
why Cox's constituents laugh. Sunset
was iv heavy loss to the democratic ma
jority during the last session.
AND now a score of property owners ,
Instigated by the street ear company , arc
getting ready to discover whether in
junctions really enjoin. They will never
prevent the ultimate completion of a
cable system in Omaha , though they may
hinder the prosecution of the work for
the time being.
Two or three light shippers may have no
cause for complaint against discriminat
ing railroads , but the mass of our whole
salers know very well when and how
they sire hurt. The time has arrived
when Omaha must protect herself by
building lines which will give her mer
chants fair play.
, Mit. CU'iVKLAXD's views on the negro
in polities are given by telegraph. Ho
predicts an inevitable division of the
colored vote among the political parties
and a bidding by both parties for that
vote just in proportion as independent
thought becomes more general among
the colored voters. Air. Cleveland's
chief backing comes from a section
where independent thought among col
ored men is enforced by clubs and shot
guns. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
SKXATOH VAN WVOK very properly
bases his candidacy for ru-oloction upon
his record during his term now closing.
In accepting the nomination nearly six
years ago , the senator pledged himself to
faithfully and earnestly work for the in
terests of his constituents. Ills record
rando since that pledge was given must
bo tlio host or the worst guarantee of his
future 'usefulness to the state should ho
bo called upon to succeed himself In the
senatorial olllco.
TUB HKK is uskcd why , if it will sup
port Weaver for congress this your , in
case ho is nominated , it declined to sun-
port him two years ago. Our reasons
worn given in detail at that timo. They
we.ro based chielly on Air. Weaver's in
action In congress. His integrity or
honosly was not in question. The BKI :
announced weeks ago that it would sup-
porl iiny honest republican in the .First
dUtdct , who received the party nomina
tion , but that under no circumstances
would it support Church llowo. It will
BticU by its pledge.
"AT Nowjiort , Ky. , some days ago ,
Sproako Carlisle made a speech in which
ho referred to the appointment of Matthews -
thows , the Albany colored man , as reg
ister of deeds in the District of Columbia ,
as an evidence of the friendly disposition
of the democratic party toward tlio
negro race. About the same time another
distinguished Kontuckhtu , Senator IMack-
burn , was Interviewed in Pittsburgh , and
impressed the opinion that the president
had madaa mistake in appointing Mat
thews in thn ( Ir.st place , nnd a bigger
mistake in re-appointing him , Ittit per
haps a difference of views balwocn demo
cratic leaders on a little matter of this
kind is scarcely worthy of attention
when thnynru at variance on questions of
vastly greater importance. It inny bo re
marked in passing that the majority of
doinoonvts.sbaro the view of Mr , Black-
Mirn.
The Only
Omaha business men are confronted
with the question whether they shall
tamely submit to being barred out from
: t trade territory which is legitImate-lv
theirs , or whether they will take HllriiMit
means to compel the Chicago A : North-
wrstern system to give this oily the facil
ities nnd HIP Irado to which It is entitled.
The rich and fertile Elkhorn Valley lies
at our doors. The people are anxious
nnd willing to do business with our city
We have the facilities present for moot
ing their wants , tno goods and the trans
portation lines. A single line of road
stands in the way , nnd by
a steady and persistent discrimination
against our merchants , diverts thn.
larger part ot the trade into the hands of
Chicago traders. Against the obstacle of
high rates and poor service our business
men have battled with more or less suc
cess by selling at little or no margin and
by patiently pushing their trade in the
hoiio of making it extensive enough to
demand consideration from the railroad
company. The time has eomo when
patience ha ? ceased to be n virtue and
other means should be adopted.
The business men of Omaha ewe it to
themselves to takopromptstops to secure
an independent line into northwestern
Nebraska. Thorn are capitalists enough
and means enough in this city to
suec-essfully lloat the enterprise. For
such a line connected with no othur sys
tem , but built and operated by Omaha
men in Omaha's interests , liberal induce
ments could doubtless bo secured from
the cities and comities through which it
would pass.
If the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
refuse to meet the demands of our mer
chants for fair treatment this move should
be the only alternative.
In tlio Mutter of Matthews.
The reasons given by President Cleveland -
land for the appointment of Matthews ,
the Albany colored man , to succeed
Frederick Douglas as recorder of deeds
in the District of Columbia , are in the
main commendable. It was perhaps in
the fitness of things tl.at the olliee which
had been acceptably filled by a colored
man of republican principles should bo
handed over to another colored man of
democratic principles. It may prove ,
also , a good stroke of policy from a po
litical point of view , though cortninly
there is no present warrant for an
expectation of this kind in the expres
sions of the democratic politicians. Ap
parently , however , Mr. Cleveland was
actuated in the matter by the vimv that
such an opportunity for a democratic
president to recognize the claims of the
colored man , and thereby if possible im
press a lesson on his partv which it is
very much in need of , ought not to bo
ignored , and to this extent his course
was proper anil his motives to
bo commended. It would be a gratifying
result it Mr. Cleveland should bo able to
leaa his party , particularly whore it is
solid , to feel as he professes to regarding
old relations and the new order of things.
Every coed citizen would hail with satis
faction a substantial evidence that the
democracy of the south are disposed to
accord to the colored man , regardless of
his political affiliations , the rights and
the consideration that are duo him as a
citizen. Tt Mr. Cleveland could succeed in
bringing this about nothing else he might
do would be more to his honor. There is
ground here , however , for skepticism.
But the merit of Mr. Cleveland's pro
fessed motives in this matter cannot
liroporly bo considered in connection
with the question whether his course
was legal in reappointing Matthews after
ho had been rejected by the senate , re
garding which there is still a coed deal
of discussion in the District. In the re
ported interview with Mr. Cleveland this
feature of the matter is not referred to ,
and it is evident that tlio president is
entirely salislied in his own mind that ho
lias made no mistake. The well-informed
Washington Critic , however , makes out
a very strong case against the president ,
and suggests that serious real estate
complications are likely to result a pos
sibility that is causing great annoyance
to parties interested. If the position of
the Critic should be shown to bo correct ,
there will bo nobody to excuse the blun
der of Mr. Cleveland in deference to his
professed motives.
A County Hospital.
The action of the board of county com
missioners in making arrangements to
submit the question of the erection of a
cilv and county hospital to the people at
the fall election will moot with general
approval. The urgent need of such an
Institution has b.jcn felt for several years
past. Our county poor house , which is
used as an insauo asylum , work house ,
lying-in-hospital and paupers' home , is
wretchedly unlit for the purpose. The
shrieks ot maniacs mingle with the
groans of ill women. The cells are
over-crowded , the rooms filled to ovnr-
( lowing and every facility over-taxed. It
is high time that in the interests of
decency and humanity better arrange
ments should be mndo for the care
of the poor and the sick , which
in a growing city are yearly increasing
in number. The decision of thn com
missioners to submit the question whether
a hospital shall bo erected is a wise ono.
It should bo accompanied by a proposi
tion for the sale of a portion of tlio poor
farm , sufficient in amount to furni.sh the
necessary funds under rigid provisions
of appraisement and public sale. Such
n proposition would doubtless carry by a
heavy majority.
In ollering a premium for the plans for
the proposed building , thovommissione-rs
have acted properly. Hospital construc
tion has received great attention among
medical men in tlm last ton years , and
there is no class of buildings , in whose
details greater Improvements have been
made. It would bo a wise move on the
part of the commissioners to appoint a
committee of physicians to pass upon
and recommend to the board the plan ,
which in their judgment will best moe.t
the requirements of advanced sanitary
science. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE commander of the English yaoht
( lalatea has issued a challenge to any
American yaejit for a run to Bermuda
after n race for the American cup , which
will lake plaoo early in September. It is
suggested that lieutenant Hcnn , having
witnessed the performances of the May-
llowor , which boat will defend iho
trophy , has uoconio a little nervous re
garding the issue of that contest , and desires -
sires to cover his defeat , Uiould that bo
tha result , by a race of a wholly different
character , in which his boat-would prob
ably be the victor. It is hold , however ,
by yachtsmen , that a run to Bermuda
would prove nothing as to the relative
racing inorits of the boats engaged , and
this seems entirely reasonable when the
varying conditions under which two ves
sels would make the run nro considered.
In such a race , it raoo it could properly
be called , the only fact that would bo
established by a victory of the Galatea is
that of her superior sea-going qualities ,
which are already generally conceded.
It does not appear likely that the chal
lenge will bo accepted , though doubtless
MCI tenant lleiin will not Hint it neces
sary to limit the exploits of his line yacht
to a single contest.
Other Ijiuuls Tliaii Ours.
All other subjects of international in
terest are forgotten on the continent in
face of the Bulgarian Incident. The fall
of Alexander and his rapid hurrying
out of the country a prisoner on
board a Russian yacht , the coup
d'etat by which the principality was
turned over to Uussian age.nts , the coun
ter revolution in which the princn's
friends were successful , the disturbed
condition of affairs at last advices all
have taken plane so quickly that the situ
ation is most bexvlldcring. There are
mighty hands working the diplomatic
wires hidden at pre > ont , but certain to
bu developed within a few days.
The solemn protestations of Russia
that she was ignorant ot the
impending ousting of Alexander deceives
no one. There is every reason to believe
tiial Germany and Austria were cogni/-
ant of the. approaching stroko. England
alone was in undoubted ignorance of
Russian designs ,
* %
The uproar in Bulgaria bids fair to ex
tend to all Europe. It is now clear that
a majority both of the Bulgarian army
and people are loyal to the dethroned
Alexander , and they show a decided dis
position to contest forcibly the result
achieved by Russian intrigue. An armed
occupation of Bulgaria by Russia will
probably bo necessary to maintain the
advantage gained , and it wilt constitute
nn act of aggression agsinst Turkey that
the sultan cannot ignore. With Russia
holding Bulgaria and forcibly crush
ing its people into submission , and with
Turkey's forces massed to defend Its bor
ders , a conflict may be precipitated at
any time into which England may be
forced , however unwillingly. She does
not want to furltt , but she must light
whenever it becomes necessary to keep
( lie map of linssh1 from including Con
stantinople. The Salisbury administra
tion is unprepared for war , but when
ever it becomes a question of "Britons
holding their own , " English sentiment
will force war , oven if England has only
Turkey for an ally , since not to do so
would be to leave Russia free to move on
towards British India. The war between
Russia and England must come ; the
only question is one of time , and the
time will como whenever Russia begins
active operations for the dismemberment
of Turkey.
*
* *
The prospect of a long continuance of
the tory ministry in England grows dis
tinctly less. The liberals give signs of a
purpose to become reconciled as soon as
they can agree to a basis of reconcili
ation. Both Lord Hartington and Mr.
Chamberlain have taken their places on
the opposition benches beside Mr. Glad
stone , instead of sitting below the gang
way , as is expected of unattached mem
bers ; and both had a formal if not hearty
welcome from the ex premier on the first
day of the session. And all wings of the
liberal party arc of the mind that some
stop toward self-government must betaken
taken in the case of Ireland , and that the
tories should make known their inten
tions at onco. They will probably bo
challenged by Gladstone to that eli'ecl in
the debate on the queen's speech , and
November is the longest day that will bo
given them for the purpose. This
looks like business , and makes it
not impossible that liberal votes
will drive Lord Salisbury from
power on this very issue , which he and
his party regarded as such a Godsend.
But it will not do for the liberals to leave
the wishes of the homo rulers out of the
account. Lord Hartington has given the
public his word that ho will join no min
istry which depends on the votes of Mr.
1'urnoll and his friends ; and without
those votes no liberal ministry could
exist. With the support of the homo
rulers , the liberals of all shades have a
majority of thirty-six ; without them they
are in the minority by forty-nine. In
this parliament , as in the last , nothing
but the cooperation of the wings wit'i ' the
tories can prevent Mr. Pmiol : ! from
being the controlling intliionco. The
minute the alliance between the two mar
quises comes to an end , the homo rulers
hold the balance of power.

Considerably more than four million
persons had been , at the end of last year ,
insured against sickness under the Ger
man law of compulsory insurance. At
the beginning of 1880 the compulsion to
insure was extended to the whole admin
istration of the post , railway and tele
graph , and to all trades connected with
transportation ; and a movement is on
foot to extend the principle still further.
The introduction of the system has not
led to any diminution in the number of
friendly societies or trades unions , but
many of them have had an enormous in-
crease.

Tno unfortunate people of Biirmah are
having a hard time. Since its annexa
tion to British India the country has
swarmed with irregular bands , who not
only light the British troops in guerrilla
fashion , but burn villages in the hands of
the English and plunder whenever and
whoever they can. On the other hand ,
the quiet people of the country are
punished by the British if they side with
the Dacoits , and trade is greatly domor-
alixcd , Now a Hood in the Irrawaddy
river has caused enormous loss and suf
fering , In Mandalay , the capital of Bur-
mah , 00,000 people have been driven
from their homes. This was only partly
destroyed a few months ago by lire , and
its inlnhitunts must wonder what is com

D'l'ho Duke of Leicester , an Irish land
lord , has , it is baid , arranged to sell to
his tenant * a largo portion of Ins Kiidaro
estates on a eighteen-year purchase plan.
If such a liberal idea at this wcro to bo
generally imitated by Irish landlords it
would do away with the necessity of
framing a land purchase bill , a measure
which would stand as an obstruction to
the legislative indepcndcnco for Ireland.
The duke's proposal shows thatoneland-
lord , nt lcist ; , is ixwafcd to tlio necessities
of the hour , nml in kln4 there lies some
encouragement. Consulering the lertll-
Hy of the liuul the tc'pi-t ( of the proposi

SI. IVwl rinnerr JVv , < > .
The experiment of Mr. Van Wyck , by
which ho ta KPS advantage of a hitherto
unused section of the Nebraska law , per
mitting the people to express by ballot
their preference In the matter of choos
ing a United States senator , has oc
casioned much comment. For the pro
vision of law and the resort hatl to It are
justly looked upon ns the possible be
ginnings of n constitutional revolution In
the method of electing members of our
upper hmu-o. His of little consequence
what thn result may be in the case of
Mr. Van Wyck. But It U interesting to
consider what would follow from a
general copying of the Nebraska law in
other states. Of course such a popular
vote for senator could not have the least
legal oflect. The constitution of the
Unitdl States proscribes the method of
chooMng senators , whleh must be by vote
of the legislature. But it is quite possible
to change the practical working of that
provision , while leaving the letter of it
unaltered , just us the original plan of
committing the selection of a president
to the personal choice of an electoral
college has been completely overthrown ,
while the college Itself , ajid all the empty
formalities accompanying ! ! , are retained
us created by the. constitution. It is
obvious that , If the states generally were
to provide for nn informal ballot for
United States seuator.al the slate election
next preceding the expiration of n
senatorial term , and if the people fcnor-
ally were to avail themselves of this per
mission , It would not bo long-Deforo stieh
vote would como to bo considered morally
binding upon the legislature , and the
actual selection of senators bo tr.insfrroed
to the people by direct ballot.
It will , perhaj .s , bear considering
whether there would bo more of gain or
loss in such n possible pcacojul revolu
tion. Of conr.se the theory of the con
stitution , by which the lower house
represents the aggregate of the people
anil the upper house the states in their
political capacities , would bo entirely
set aside. But there is not a great deal
loft of it anyway. With the destruction
of the notion of state sovereignty , tlio
stale , as a itictor in national all'uirs , lost
its chief importance anil prerogative.
For local matters the .state is as .supremo
as eyer. At Washington the state cuts
an extremely small ligure. The change
in this particular , therefore , would bo
mores tonual and less actual tnan at lirst
appears. Moreover , there have been
forces at work for some time to commend
the notion to a very different reception
from what it would have met a short
time ago. The dissatisfaction with the
senate and with the sort of material that
gets into it under tiie present system is
real and profound. The spreading
custom of selecting millionaire ligure-
heads for what ought to bo the most
dignified and important representative
position , reserved for the most ex
perienced and ablest citi'/en of a state ,
has shorn the senatorial olliee of some of
its dignity and respect in the eyes of the
people. The apparent disregard of the
.senate for that public opinion lo _ which
it hardly considers itsell responsible , as
shown in the refusal to auollsh secret
sessions and in the .standing custom of
subordinating every public interest to
the demands of "senatorial courtesy , "
lunc started an agitation not entirely to
be despised , for the abolition ot the
senate. That , of course , is both undesir
able and impossible , since the constitu
tion declares I hut no state shall , without
its own consent , be. deprived of its equal
representation in the senate. But the
discontent would be satisfied if the upper
house wcro to be made , ns the lower now
is , practically responsible in the first in
stance to public opinion. All will depend -
pond upon the extent to which future
legislatures voice the popular will in
senatorial elections , and the extent to
which the senate itst.lf concludes to sub
mit its large independence to that will.
If the membership and conduct of that
body should continue to exhioit the
changes marked in the last do/.on years ,
it would not bo at all surprising to find a
general adoption of the Nebraska idea ,
anil a popular determination which
would compel legislatures to observe , in
electing senators , the choice thus indi
cated in advance.
An Immense
Electrical World : When the great
iron tower , 1,000 foot high , was proposed
some time ago for the Paris exhibition
of 18SO. many engineers doubted the
feasibility of the project , judged from
their point of view. However , M. Eiffel
went tit the project and evolved a tie-
sign whicii was chosen ami which it is
proposed to execute. On the eve of ac
complishment , however , a French savant
comes forward with a timely warning
of the fearful consequence which the
building of the tower will entail. _ Ho
sa.\.s that the cnjrmous blocks of iron
running north and south would become
polari/.i'ti , and that this polari/.ation will
.soon invade tlio whole column. Then
who knows whether the four lifts , with
their continual friction , will not increase
tlie magnetic influence a hundred fold ,
In this ease all articles for a mile round
will bo attracted to the tower , and will
adhere to it as a need ) < uloes to a magnet.
Then all the houses in Paris will suffer
from a St. Vitus's dance , and being grad
ually drawn toward the Cham ] ) do Mars ,
will finally lind themselves stuck to the
tower. As for locomotives entering
Paris , it will bo impossible to slop them
at the various termini ; they will rush
through the city and dash themselves to
pieces against the center of attraction.
On Time.
"You can set your watch , now , " said
Conductor Keau of the Grand Island train ,
as ho jumped off one of the oars on the arri
val of the train yesterday Hu luul pulled
her into the depot at precisely the minute set
for her arrival and heeineil as pleased over
the achievement i > s a small boy over Ids lirst
pair of new bouts.
