TIIK Missouri 1'acilie is building to N < liraska City and there is much rejoiein In eonscquenee. Nebraska City hns bee isolated so long from the rest of tlioftaU owing to its poor railroad facilities , tha the now outlet for her people is a cause for general congratulation. IT u reported that public opinion i Germany sympathi/os with Prince Ale nniler , of Hulgaria , in his misfortunes but Germany will not lift a hand to liol | him. There is a well-grounded sus picio that Prince Hismarck was fully in th secret of the Russian coup d'etat agains his princely countryman. Reasons o Jtate arc paramount to personal consider ntioiis , Tnn Canadians expect to travel fror Montreal to the Pacific ocean in ninot hours. They have paid hovvily : for thci railroad across the continent , the totsi expenditure being $150,000,000 , of whlc ! a little less than half eaino from the Do minion govornmont. The capital of th completed road amounts to $ ' 30,000 po mile. The company is building a bridg ncrois tie ! St. Lawreiipe at Montreal , am completing conncolions for a line ti Halifax. When these are finished th Canadian Pacllie eompany will bo abl < to run a train 3,550 miles , from Halifax on the Atlantic , to Vancouver , on th Pacilic. Ocean steamers from Livqrpoo to Halifax and similar connections fror Vancouver to Japan , China and Aw trulia will make a line 2,00' ' ) miles uhorte than by any other route. The county commissioners have startd well in the matter of the proposed cit. and county hospital. The question o Its erection will bo submitted to voter this fall. Meantime the board are male ing proper arranger , juls to seouro plan and specifications for a structure whlcl will bo complete ami adapted lu ovorj respnot for the purposes intended. W < would suggest , to the board that advisor ; judges of the plans be houglit for outsidi of the court house. Such an advisor ; council should consist of at least I lire' physicians of prominence and experience once in hospital work to inspect tlu nanUury itolails and internal construction and non-competini ; architects to dccld upon the architectural merits of the plan handed In. The now structure , which i to bo built us a permanent investment o county funds for the benefit of the pee nnd unfortunate , should bo one of whlcl Omaha will not be ashamed. It shouli bo architecturally beautiful nst well a ; commodious , comfortable ami convenient A largo sum of money will have to bo expended ponded in its construction and no pain should bo spared to see that wo scour the worth of our money. The old stvlo of hospital constructioi has been generally abandoned. Moderi science demands isolated nnd comma rtlous wards on the pavillion plan fo the treatment of bcverul classes of dla r.nsos , and built so cheaply that they CHI be destroyed and replaced by new am clean structures when occasion rcquiivs It demands complete separation of llr Mirgicil and lying-in-wards by as long i distance as possible , free veutilatloi everywhere , ample light , sanitary heat Ins nm' ' PCI feet sewerage. Tlio best hos liitals of the present day are constrncte. by spiviulists.

( Jlmroli Howo's Itooiiu Pawnee county has elected nlnfc deli jrafes to the conttroRilonnl convontloi whose preference , as reported by Uliurc Howe , is for Church Howe. This bom was heralded abroad with a blast < trumpets through the three great nil road organ1' the Lincoln Joitninl , III Omiilia llcraitl and the Omaha- ! < ] < M run. Tlio special dispatch conveying th : jo.voiH news to the adminus of tin * grci acroh.it of Nomalia county was ord fr word the .same in the three paper" . NY are told it was a great triumph , an Howe modestly responded lo"tie ! oal of the convention for a speech , whic seorctt the 11 HI : and Ko invater in tern that fairlv carried oil' the roof of thu iril At a distance of oiu > hundred mill Church llowo very bravely dulled h opponents and challeniri'd thoadmiratio of his heuc'itnun. He denieil of coitr- ' what is noloriou ly true , that his onrec in public life has been that of a poll ical pirate , blackmailer and bribi taker. He bo.isted of his pa : services to thu republican parly , but li failed to refer to the three thousand do lar boodle which ho is reported to hav pocketed during the session of 1875 , who he voted for that cnunont democrat ! patriot nnd Sam Tthlen's bosom frien < Nelse Patrick. Hn failed tojxplain t the republicans of Pawnee count the rccotd of treachery , tricker and audacious venality which ho lu made in every legislature in which he lu been a member. 'Hi ? boom which ha ? Marled with RUC ubmbasl from Pawnee county is , liov ever , destined to collapse at Heitrici : One swallow does not make a mtmmc and the nine delegates from Pawnee , n iuforced by the nine delegates froi Nemaha , do not constitute a majority < the congressional convention , which i composed of 157 members. Cliuru Howe's unsavory reputation has .TOII before him , and all his promises , pledge railroad passes and rreenbauks will m sucuro the nomination for him. His bom will bo nothing more than a boomlct I'rolilblMon nnd the Parties , It would bo idle lo deny the fact , and mistake to ignore it , that the present alt tude of the prohibition movement is formidable menace to the political partie the degree of the danger to cither boin in proportion to their relative strength i the localities where the movement is bi ing most vigorously pushed , but in general way most threatening to the n publican party , for the reason that th forces of prohibition are stronger an better equipped in republican states tha else whom. In the nursery of prolnbitioi the state of Maine , it is unmistakably th cardinal question in the campaigi Under the leadership of its most ngciv- sivc and persistent champion , Ncal D > w who made haste after the election of democratic president was assured toidor tify himself with democracy , on the tit ! truthful and hypocritical im U-sl that th republican party had proved insincere i Us temperance ) professions and courtcv alliance with the whisky element , th prohibition party of Maine is making il self felt with a vigor greater than it ha shown before in a number ot years. Th republican leaders have been forced t recognize it , and the most striking poi lions of the speeches of Mr. lllaino ain of Senator Kryc are those which refer t < this subject. In Pennsylvania the organ i/.ation of the prohibitionists is said to b more thorough than over before , am with a full state ticket in the. Held hcadei by Mr. AVolfo , one of the strongest niei identified with the cause in the country the party in that state is counting conli dently upon polling 75,000 votes. Ii Ohio the prohibition clement is well or gani/ed , but there is a probability that i will not make extraordinary exertion this year , though it is expected to poll it usual vote. In Michigan the party wil put forth its very , best efforts , and it press and leaders are promising that th result will show a great advance. Ii Illinois the prohibition forces arc show ing notable activity , and their vote is c\ peeled to materially afl'oet the result o the election in that state. In oilier state the prohibition party is working vigor misly and earnestly , and everywhere will greater or less menace to the polilica parties. The ordinary danger to the ropublieai parly from ibis movement , in the con fcsicd fact that its supporters at drawn most largely from tb ranks of that political organization is materially increased and aggravate ! this year by the rather remarkable slant which Mr. lilaino and Senator Kryu , nion particularly the latter , have taken on tin subject. In his speoeh at Lake Sebagi Mr. IJIaino. while denouncing the thin party movement as ri conspiracy agains the republican party and an unholy alii ance with democracy , claimed for tin republlcaus of Malno all the credit fo prohibition legislation In that stato. 1 this wore strictly true , which il is not - Hinen prohibition laws were enacted Ir Maine democratic legislatures octoro tin republican party was born there wa ; nothing in the present situation to re quire .such a claim , and the sajjtoilyo Mr. Hlaino in conspicuously urging i was not lo.3 faulty Hum his statement o history. It wouhl have been quite swill ciont for the occasion for Mr. Ulaino tt have chimed , as ho might correctly am safely have done , that thn republican i the party of temperance and believe that existing laws should be J.ilthfulij enforced , instead of loading it with ro sponsihilitiivj that do not belong to it Hut. Senator Fryo has been oven mon unfortunate in this respect. Ho i not less vigorous nnd onLspokoi than lUaiuo in denouncing the thin party movement , ami in one of hi speeches characterized "somu of the pro hibUory loaders" in Mainn as "unbliish ingimpudent scoundrels. " Hut in tin excess of his/.eal Mr. Fryo allowed hli discretion to forsake him-as ho dii with respect to one other .nultur personate to Mr Hlaino and made this deelara lion1 1 am In favor of p-itting a plan ) into the national republican platforn in favor of prohibition. I am in favor 01 the republican party shouldering prohi bition , and I know that In time the partj would conquer usilor that banner. " If the oflbot of utlcranco-s of this kim from anknowlodgoJ republican leaden could bo conduct ! to thu people to when they are addressed there would be com paratively little reason to regret them Hut emanating from such re pectabh nnd responsible sources their iiilliuincc must of necessity bo far-reaching. Thuj supply to the opposition to the republican party a most potout argument to bo nd > drcssod to that very large clement of the population which , while in sympath with the political policy and princip'c ' of the republicans , will not support th party if it is committed to a prineipl which nntagoni/es their ( Irmly-rootu convictions of individual rights and pel sonal liberty. Such declarations as tha of Mr. 1'rye c.ui have no other tendenc , than to lead this clement to believe thn they point thn drift and forecast thi purpose of the republican party , and w may bo sure that the demociats will los no opportunity to impress this view Nothing that Mr. Frye could have sal would have given greater aid and com forl to the democracy in sections whcr the republican vote is largely made u of Inc Herman and other foreign eli incuts unchangeably opposed to prohib lion. Nor will the inlluence of then utterances be materially lessened bv til firming that these Maine leaders have n authority or right to speak for tins repul liciin party at large , and that in fact tlm misrepresent the general and controllin sentiment in the party on this siibjee Neither , it is to be feared , will it do mite to weaken the effect to show that In cei tain slates whore the democrat ! party is supreme it is committi ! outright to prohibition , or to o < tremu measures of repression in tli interest ot temperance. The fact inn- be squarely accepted that these deelar : tions of ivcogni/.ed republican leadei w'il ' betaken by the element to whic wo have referred forjustwhattliey mcni and Imply , and we do not hvsitnk' to c > press ll'ic .ipin-clicinlon that they will b found lo operate lo the seriom disadvai tago of the republican party at largo i the ensuing fall contest. In Maine th republicans may spare this clement , bi not so the part. > in Pennsylvania , Oluc Michigan and Illinois. It is grievous ! unfortunate tor a party when any of il trusted leaders and counsellors HO fa lose their discretion and judgment as t burden it with responsibilities which d not belong to it and embarass it wit opinions and promises destructive ot it harmony and dangerous to its wclt'an Sir. OlmlHtono's Pamphlet. Mr. ( iladstono has buckled on th" arm or of the pamphleteers and taken up hi pen in the cause of Ireland. His lint cl fort shows that the aged statesman halest lost none of his old time vigor as a politi cal writer. His brilliant defense of hi Irish policy anil caustic criticism of hi opponents will carry conviction to then sands of readers who have heretofor been compelled to bift tlio when from tlio ehafi'of mcom plete reports of parliamentary am campaign speeches. Written down ant carefully revised by its author , Mr. Glad stone's plea for si rational treatment o the Irish problem by the English people for England's interests and Ireland' rights , will comm.ind instant ami wide spread attention. H will f".rr ish food fo thai ual i judgment which can only ariui from carefully weighing the argument anil following out the trains of though to their inevitable conclusions , while i will decidedly appeal by its judicial torn and clear reasoning to the very clas ; of thinkers whose voles were cas in the last election ugalnl Mr. Gladstone' : plan for national .self-government in Ire land. Mr. Gladstone brings out vcr. < forcibly the one proguant fact of the lasi canvass , that Ireland's aspirations fo home rule are no longer routined to ; small faction of parliamentary repre sonlatives. A million and a half voter.- of Great lintnin have declared in favoi of justice for Ireland. Scotland nnd Wales are overwhelmingly on the side o : homo rule , and ninctcun-t\veiitieths \ ol England's workingmen stand by then hide. The contest is no longer one of tin weakest country of the union against tin otherthree , Ireland againsttircat Britain It has been transformed into that ot Iho three weakest against the strong , with the brawn ami muscle of England enlisted against wealth and power anil the prestige of tradition and a landed aristocracy. Under such conditions Mr. Gladstone cheerfully and boldly o\.prosso- hi.s conviction that the final result caiv not bo doubtful. That his liberal concessions to the landlords as planned In the purchase bill contributed greatly to the defeat , of hi.s homo rule measure , Mr. Gladstone now frankly admits. Ho assures thu landlords that their day of redemption went down with the homo rule bill never to return with such liberal concessions lu vostetl rights as those contemplated by hi' measure. In Kioling , for the time being , homo ruin ho assures them they have forever destroyed their only chance for reimbursement for their Irish estates , which will certainly bo adjusted when Irish nationality is gained. In conclu sion the ex-premier predicts that Ireland will permit nothing to divert it from "it.1 honorable aim of national self govern tuont. " 1'iiRliliiK Germnii Commnroc. According to n report of Iho American counsul at Annaberg , the policy of His marck has taken a practical direction ir imitation of that of Great Britain , anil the now German idea for extension ol territory nnd supremacy upon the hlgli seas is consuming in its nature. German competition for the English trade of Eastern Asia and Australia is assuming largo proportions. Tlio now subsidi/.etl German line Is from Hromorhavon to Sue/ mid Irom Ihoru connects with Ger- mon steamers lor Shanghai and Hong Koug , also for Melbourne and other Aus tralian ports. Bismarck expects to make this now voiiluro a success from thu fact that the new subsidized slouni' crs are larger , newer anil better than the English or French steamers and arc scheduled to make better time , while the faro Is lower. The English time from 81107 to Hong Kong Is 33 } d'O' ' " . The French lime If U8 days , wiillo the ( ioniums ex pect to make thu distance in 21J days , From Suez to Melbourne the English oo- cupy 3a days , the French Jtj days- , but the Germans advertise to make it 30 } days , This will doubllcss bring very vigorous competition ami cutting of rales , It is Haiti that the English vessels now carr.v tea and other merchandise for Chinese ports to New York ami Boston right through Liverpool for a less rale than they charge for carrying from CJdna to Liverpool. This is for the purpose of oll'ectuallv .stamping out American com. petition in the carrying tratlo. American captains often complain to our consuls to China and J. pan that they cannot got cargoes without waiting so long that the pay for oarrjiug Is n re than eaten up. This is claimed to b-JT ia result of the very successful com iiMtion , which has bemi mudo by thu Englishmen engaged in thti carrying Irads. it hus becu urged by those intercsu'd hero Ihat it might I nwessury to return to sailing vessel ; large cargoes anil slow tlmn In order t compete with the Hnfllish mnlhoiU.

Hundreds of politicians could bo found it uvcry senatorial election who luxuri ited in the solt delusion to become the 'black horso" by promises , bargains , orniption , etc. , or , with otliei words , to iinuggle themselves into the cushioned . hair , just vacated in the senate chamber ly a receding member. Senator Van Wyck , firmly supported ) V his well-known sei vices and his POI - ilarity among lite ta > payers , especially he farmers , now steps boldly lo thu rout , throws down the gauntlet to the irofessional wire-pullers , and challenges tach anil every ono of hi.s competitors to m'soiit to the people their olaims for his iiiccossion , their accusations against ilin , their principles , and to demonstrate heir political aptness , llioir ijualilica- ions upon the hustings as well as in a ; athcring of rclinod and experienced tatesinau. Like a bombshell or an avalanche fell his pronuncbmonto of General Van Vyck into the uimp of the republican , lemoor.itio milk ami water politicians ; uany of their stripe in Lincoln , Omaha , 'alls City and Hastings are stricken deaf nd dumb by consternation ; some arc eported to sillier from an acute attack of iramps ami summer complaint cholera nfantum wo think the physicians call il The "dark horses" are nHeeled the vorsl , and on account of tins eiivuin- tauce several veterinary surge ji s were irdered fiom the east by our stale board , None of them has dared as yet to pick ip Vim's gauntlet , and the prouubilliy or a lively campaign , like that between ) uiiglas and Lincoln in 1SCO , is getting cry slim. Our young state , the youngest in tlio mioi but one , will open a progressive oforin in politics. "Clear the truck" /ill bo our motto. Van Wyok concedes that he may have irred sometimes , like any other public nan , but Nebraska admires the immac- ilato purity of his character , his per. onal modesty , the rarei honc.sty of his uirposos and last , but not least , his uanly bearing in public , his readiness for hort and pointed replies without any osj of good humor and quiet demeanor n private life. \vo only echo the sentiment of 09 per out of tlio people in southern NubniKka , vhcn wo shout : "Hurrah for Van Wyckl' MANY of the blotches , pimples , and ither affections of thu skin are caused by ho oHbrls of thu by.item to cast oll'im- iurities , which , owing to the inaction of ho liver and kidneys , remain in the sys. im.

Nii i / < fi/i ' Lliicnln J Ilnuiiox , Neb. , August SO To Iho I't lor of the Lincoln Journal My altentii has just been directed tn an article in tl State .Journal of August S."i , as follows : " 'fhe Journal would like ti propound question nr two to Senator Van uyi'k : I. Were joii a colonel in the Into wn SI. When you were a congressman fro the state of New York did a man In ym dislriet , who hail organized n regiment ' go to the front , coinu to you unilask yc to use your inllueneo to have him a ; pointed colonel of the regiment' II. Did you promise him that you won' obtain him that position ? I. After promising him , did you oblai the colonelcy yourself and free/.c out tl ; man who had been lo the trouble ami o : pense of orguni/ing the regiment' 5. Uid the man who organised Hi regiment of which you obtained the von inantl orjraiii/.e another anil go to tl , front while you remained in Washinglo and drew your pay as congressman an colonel at the same lime ? The .Journal will gladly publish nil answers that Mr. Van Wyck may sen I to mal-o to these questions , ami will prol ably have something to say in regard I them in the near future. " I thank you for thn fairness whic prompts you to open your columns for reply , and at once respond to charactei i/c Ihu charges as false from bcginnin to end. In the old homo were some men n base and dishonest as are found in th new. Your informant is o\idcnUy on of them. The slanderer from the cast kne' through what channel his fuKolmoi could be scattered broadcast and wil what avidity any infamous charge or it sinualion would be taken up ami rolle as a sweet morsel. Opposition must be hard pressed tog back twenty-five years to fabricate charge which , even if true , would be c little concern to the people of Ncbrasks U only shows the spirit which coul invent such falsehoods anil the spir which would seek to circulate them. The folly and meanness of any sue charge is evidenced from tiio fact that went in command of the regiment tin th.it it remained under my comman during four years in tlio son ice , and in : til after the close of the war , while shared with them the dangers of balll and diseases of climate. On my return and after the regimen was mustered out , I was elected ami rt elected to congress from the same tlis trict win-re the reg/mK'Ut / was organix.ctl ami In the vote ? ot men who comprisei the regiment and their friends. After the battle of Bull Run , when th people were depressed by that defeat , published to the district that at the atl journmout ot congress I svouldcommenc at once to enlist anil orgam/.o : regiment to represent that district in tli > Held , Accordingly I advertised meetings ii every city and town and nearly ever ; school house in the counties of Oranc ? and Sullivan , commenced enlistment and continued until was raised ton In fan try companies , ono company of sharp shooters , two companion of cavalry ant two light batteries , in all lr , 0i ) men , thi largest regiment mustered into the or vice , ami culled the Tenth lesion , as tha was the number of the district 1 reprc scnlcil. Some rebel sympathizer * knowinsriiv * term in congirss had not yet expired and desiring to retard enlistment , statct that won'Kl organize the regiment march with it to the field then leave i and have another take command. Aflcr that , in the press and othei places , I proclaimed that I would con tintiB in command of Ihc regiment unti the war closed. Parents and wives were equally out spoken that they would more chcerfullj give up sous and husbands on that ussur iinec. Patriotic citizens of both parties wen liberal in every section to assist in en listing companies. With the exception of one company Die remaining fourteen wore transported 'jy ' carriage and railroad to regimental icadcniartors at Xewburg , N. . , at my awn expense , and that money has not fcl been refunded by the uovernment. Why not give the name of the infamous iar who saitl any man was at the ex- jonso of orgnni/.lng but mysulf and ini- nediatc iriends of both political parties in the express nsiitranco that I was to ako and continue command of the regi- nent. 1 have made this partial and hasty an- : wci in denial , but 1 will make il nioro ompletc. I ut once sent for statements rom the olllcers and men of thn old Tenth legion , anil the men who aided mo n securing enlistment * , which 1 will icrcafler ask you to publish as pail of his denial. Allow mo to mjiust that journals vhich have copied Iho charge may bn us air as you have been * o publish Iho do- lial. Your * , etc. , C H. VAN W'icic , WYIMA-BOTrLE-OP - -FULLY WARRANTED duo.
