OMAHA again loads all other large clearing hout-o cities in the pcrcomngc of increase- bank clearances. Last week , Omaha was thirteenth on the list of tiie thirty-two cities. IT was n slirowd move on the part of tlio Mexicans to make a fool ot Special Envoy Scdgwick by filling him full of corn-juice. This Is an outrage for which the American government can demand no satisfaction. Tin : riotous spirit in llolfast is being hold in check , but there is almost daily evidence that the undercurrent of feeling la still strong and only needs a fayorabln opportunity to burst forth again with devastating ofl'uct. TIIK Hulgarian incident and thn Mexi can war cloud have not as yet affected the American wheat market. What is needed to give wheat n rapid upward tendency is u war cloud bigger than a man's bund. IT seems only fair to credit Cutting with unexpected modesty in placing the damage to himself from two months' im prisonment at only $10,000. Of course that number of cents would more than repay him for the lost time. TIIK American life-saving service is the most thorough and clliciinit in the world. This is acknowledged by Admiral Ward of the British navy , who was for many years connected with the royal national life boat institution of Croat Britain. \Vr don't Know whether Senator Man- dorson has any influence with the demo cratic postmastor-gennral , but somebody who has his oar ought to whisper to him that the Omaha postollico needs more clerks and bolter service. Tins city is entitled to prompt ami ofllciont distribu tion of mails both day and night. TIIKUK are sensational reports regardIng - Ing the Knights of Labor. A rills burgh paper professes to Imvo discovered that an attempt was some time since made by a faction of the order to assassinate Pow- dorly , and it Is understood that the whole matter will bo brought to light at tlio Jtlelunond convention , soon to meet.

It will now bo in order for the ex-Honorable Ed Games to commend Ilowo to Iho re publicans of this district , Crimes was associated on that whitewash committee with Powers. WALL street is having a season of ro- peso. Last week was the dullest of the year in stock speculation , and the cur rent week dee s not open with flattering promise of improvement. Brokers ex press inability to account for this state ofall'airs , but perhaps ono reason is in the fact that the street has not for many years boon so deficient in great opera tors ns it is nt present. At the same time reports regarding the movement in mercantile trade are exceedingly sat isfactory botli from Now York and other eastern trade centers. So far as llie legitimate business of the country is con cerned , the outlook for the autumn and winter is regarded as very favorable. Vnn AVyok'R Double Tay. The terrible cannonade to wliloh Sen ator Van Wyck has been subjected since ho has tii'iiti' his uppcal to Iho people of Nebraska liai heeii mrrely n discharge of blank cartridges. Tlicro have been noisy explosions of powder ami great floiil ( < < of smoke , but. the senatorial tar- gel shows no visible clloets of the licrco ! is auH. The charges which liavo been hurled against the senator do not alVuet his lldclit.v to the intomsts of the state. Nobody ' has dared to charge him with neglect of duly or willful defiance of the known wishes of his constItiionts. Nobody , not oven Iho moU malignant cni'iny , lias ever cluirgeil him with cor ruption as a legislator , or with making iisi' of Ills position to feather his no-it. Nobody dares to assort that Van Wvck lias betrayed the trusts reposed in him by thn men who elected him and by the people whom he has represented with fiiuili signal abilitj in tlio national legis lature. Tlio only grave charge brought against Senator Van Wyck by his oppon ents is thai during tlio war liu drew double pay as member of congress and colonel in the army. The charge has no bearing whatever upon tlio con duct of Oeneral Van Wyck as senator from Nebraska. It can scarcely lie con sidered as an elleetivo argument to pre vent his re-election. But it may as well be discussed in all seriousness to show t" > what desperate and contemptible moans the monopoly press will resort in order to crealo prejudice and throw discredit upon Senator Van Wyck ova , public man. Tlio senator has not seen lit to deny that during the war ho served In the double capacity of congressman and commander of : i regiment. Ho has not seen lit to deny that ho drew double pay during one. session of congress. This may bo a most terrible oll'ensc in the eyes of his tradueers , many of whom lought the battles of the country gallantly among the homo guards. Van Wyck was by no means the only man who held a commission in the army and served in congress at the same tlmo. At the outbreak of the war Senator Spruguo , of llhodo 'Island , was made a major-general and served in the army between sessions of congress. General Garlield was elected to congress wlulo he hold a commission in the army. While we cannot say positively that ho drew double pay during a portion of his term , wo have very little doubt that ho did. If wo are correctly informed Gen eral Amasa Cobb was olcclud from Wis consin while he held a commission. .In all probability ho served in the same con gress with Van Wyck , and ten chances to ono drew double pay for a few months. The fact is that the fire in the roar by Iho copperheads and rebel sympathizers of the north made il imporalivo for the safety of the. republic to plac < loyal men of known ability and firmness in congress during that very critical period. These men reluctantly left their commands in the army for n season when congress was m session and returned to the front the moment their congressional serviceswcroondcd. Inas much as the pay of congressmen was fixed by the year , members who served in the army in the summer months , whan lighting was most iiclivo , took thoirleavo during the winter , but were retained on the army pay roll until mustered out. In the case of Senator Van Wyck the meanness of the assault appears more despicable when it is borne in mind that ho organized and equipped at his own ex pense a fifteen company regiment known as the Tenth Legion , and paid for their transportation to the front. Inasmuch as he has never been reimbursed for this outlay , the paltry pay of a colonel for throe or four months while congress was in session is hardly worth notice Qif it wore not for the great hue and cry that has been raised about it. The "Actual 1'nirt" Fraud. The Sunday Herald appeared with the following cards at Us head : "Tho largest actual iiaid circulation of any paper bo- Iwcon Chicago and San Francisco , " and "Double the actual paid circulation of any paper published in Nebraska. " Now what docs the llcnild mean by "actual paid circulation " ? Will its pub lishers please explain , or stop its bra/en imposture ? ] ) oes "actual paid circula tion " mean a gilt-edged list of extra- select subscribers ? How dare they claim a larger circulation than any paper be tween Chicago and San Francisco when they know that Kansas City. St. Paul and Minneapolis papers circulate all the way from 13,000 to 18,000 daily , as against less than 4,000 of tlio Herald's bona fide daily circulation ? What right has the Herald to lay claim to double the circulation of any paper in Nebraska , when it knows that the HKB has an actual paid circulation ofovnr 13,000 daily. If the Herald's claim wore true , it would circulate over 35,000 , papers n day , which every intelli gent person knows to bo an outrageous falsehood. The "actual paid" catch , which the Herald lias invented to impose upon advertisers Is a very clumsy device. What docs "actual paid" mean ? The JJBK receives pay every Saturday lor about 45,000 , papers sold during the week of seven days to its lessees of circulation in Omaha and Council BluIVs , Is this "actual paid" circulation , or is it to bo regarded as delivered on trust ? The BKK sells through dealers in Iowa and Nebraska fully three thousand dailies , which are paid for at the end ol each month. Is this "actual paid" circu lation , or is it a give-away on the inflation system of the Herald manager , who al lows dealers to return or keep stacks ol unsold papers which ho sends out tc make a bogus showing ? The remainder of our daily circulation is in part prepaid , and in part collected from tlmo to time by agents. This is true of all other Nebraska dailies. Where then does "actual " paid" come in ? Hut the Herald pompously proclaims that it has double "tho actual paid circu lation of any paper in Nebraska , ' Whore is il ? In Omaha its actual circu lation is a fraction over 600 by carrioi and less than 1,200 , all told , In other words , its circulation In Omaha is nboul the same as the circulation of the Br.K in Council Ulufla. The rcgularsubscription of the Bir : in Omaha , supplied by CHrrici delivery , is now over 4,700 , , This docs not include papers delivered to dealers , Hut the Herald with about one-fifth of this circulation has the audacity Ui advertise its circulation as double that of any paper pubjlshed lu Nebraska. II this imposture only deceived Its sub scribers it would make liltlo diUbronce , Inlt itfiiiialn object iato swindle the credu lous eastern advertiser , who has not the means to ascertain the truth. If this fraud is not stopped we shall talk a little more plainly , and exhibit the methods by which tlio llorald is trying lo obtain money under falio pretenses. Tlio Hiislno.ss Situation. Ilttinr is still comparatively quiet in some branches but the conditions are ripe for improvement , and the indica tions are everywhere nior-i oiH-wuraging for a prosperous fall and winter trade than they have been at the outset of sev eral preceding seasons. Merchants and inanufuelurorrt are correspondingly cheerful and hope-fill. The jobbing dis tribution of manufactured goods is fairly active , and in many lines shows an im provement over the business of last week. In nearly till departments the contrast with the condition of trade at this time last year is very favorable. The siness t'ailure.s occurring throughout thu country last week number 201 , as against ISli the previous week and 107 the week before. The increase is mainly in Canada. Failures in the eastern , Southern and Miildlo states continue light. Cotton prices have been depressed by Iho political uneasiness in Huropo ami by unfavorable market news from Liverpool , mid as compared with a week ngo are 1-1U to i of a cent per pound lower. The crop year i.s drawing to its close , and business is done on a moderate scale both for homo eonsiimntlon and export. The generally accepted estimate of the prob able outturn of this year's crop is (1,500- ( 000 bales. The trade in cotton goods is morn active in jobbing dcparlmouts and fair at llrot hands. Demand is absorbing the production of desirable fabrics , and a good many orders are on the mill books for future delivery. Tlio market , there fore , is in excellent shape and firm. Wool has been shaded slightly in price in exceptional instances. Tlioro arc a good many buyers canvassing the mark ets , and largo lines could be moved at concessions , but business nt current market rates is quiet. Manufacturing clothiers are having a good trade in heavy goods , and are giving only moder ate attention to spring weights , but or ders are fairly satisfactory forthuseason , and indications point to a good fall trade. Other branches of the woolen-goods trade arc fairly active , and values in till lines are very firm. Increased activity is noted in tlio jobbing trade in dry goods in leading markets throughout the coun try. The anthracite coal trade shows an improving tendency. Kxporl business in wheat has boon much less active the past week. Clearances have continued liberal because a largo amount , of the grain had been previously sold for August shipment ; but thvro has been a lull in thn latter demand from foreign buyers. The partial halt in ex port buying , large receipts at winter wheat centers and an increasing move ment of spring wheat from the north west , have promoted a more bearish feeling in speculative circles , but jts ell'oct has been measurably oil'set by the political news from Europe. The drift of values , with occasional interruptions duo to the foreign war talk , has been downward. The corn crop outlook has boon slightly improved in some localities by recent rains , but tlio week's reports do not indicate any material change in the general situation. Kxport demand for corn is light. The Grand Army Hcunion. Nebraska is pre-eminently a soldier state. Nearly every regiment that served in the armies of the union has a score or more of representatives in the Grand Army organisation of Nebraska. Tlio eighth annual reunion of the veterans is now in camp at Grand Island. Extensive preparations have been made by the of ficers of tlio Grand Army and the citizens of Grand Island to make this reunion a memorable event. The attendance prom ises to bo greater than that of any pre vious assemblage of the boys in blue in Nebraska. As the years roll by these gatherings of the gallant defenders of the union become more and more interesting and impressive. They recall memories of patriotism , valor and priva tion of the most critical era in Iho history of tlio republic. They recall vividly to the present generation the debt of grati tude which the nation owes to tlio men of 1801-03. Nebraska , although a terri tory with less than ! l."i,000 population at the bioaking out of the civil war , fur nished her full quota of volunteers to the union armies , and many of these veterans , now assembled at Grand Island , served gallantly through the entire war. TIIBIIB Is no UFO for ward bummers and bilks to aspire to the legislature from this county. It would bo reckless for cither party to nominate men who pros titute themselves for hire nt tlio polls , and who only want to go to the legisla ture to sell their votes. Ciiuitcn HOWE is hedging already , lie sees the handwriting on the wall , and fearful of defeat nt Beatrice , ho holds In reserve a nomination to tiio legislature , where ho expects to got oven on the ex penses of his congressional campaign. UP to the present time , nobody but Pat MoArdlo mid Corliss are talked of as candidates for county commissioner on the republican ticket. It scorns to us that better timber can bo found in Doug las county for that Important ollice. WE bav heard of the man who tried to pull himself over the fence by his boot straps.

Whan in 1878 Disraeli returned from Berlin with the island of Cyprus in his pocket , and the cry ot "peace with honor" on his lips , Bulgaria , which had been a bono of contention in tlio much vexed eastern question , was constituted an autonomous and tributary principality under Iho su/.eranity of his imperial majesty , the sultan. IL was ordered also in the same treaty that it should have a Christian government and a national militia. Bulgaria had been one of the European states of Turkey. Nearly three-fourths of ils population , scant two million , belonged to Ihc Greek church. The Turkish tax farmers perpetrated terrible outrages on the people , and the province was in a continual condition of revolt. The treaty of Berlin gave its first attention to the alTaiis of the people. Il provided , after fixing the status of the principality , that the prince should bo freely elected bv the people and confirmed by the sublime portc with the consent of the powers. The population chose Alexander , who is a cousin of the reign ing grand duke of Hesse , who married the Princess Alice , daughter of Queen Victoria , and a brother of the Ludwig to whom the Princess Beatrice was recently wedded. The election occurred in 187B , and was entirely unanimous. In 1880 , with equally apparent unanimity , ( he young man is escorted to the fnintier , having been quietly deprived of his gov ernment , his palace at Sofia , and his $100,000 a year that were given him for prince playing. Save that there was trouble with Servia recently , the reign of Alexander has been peaceful enough , but Hut population of the prineipamy have religious reasons for profering the rule of Kussiu , and will probably noyer bo content while i.ormnlly a dependence of thu sultan. UIISSKUI partisanship has been strongly expressed in Bulgaria , but Russian authority cannot bo exerted in the country without the assent of the European powers that wore parties to the treaty of Berlin which terminated the war of 1877 between Russia and Turkey. Plenty of work tor the cabinets of Eu rope will grow out of tlio present compli cation , but the bayonet factories will probably not bo disturbed until , break ing through ail parchment bonds. Russia will drive the Turk from Constantinople. HOW NEILSON DIED. Denial of ( In ) Story that Her Dentil Resulted Prom a Hovel.

The oddest of palo-bluo calico drosMis. worn with a short shoulder capo of black cashmere - mere , a white mull kerchief , nnd a long , white apron. This is how she appears Mrs , Leon , the Scottish waiting woman now in employ of Mine. Modjcska , and once maid to the great Ncilson. Thin is how she looks a dumpy liguro in quaint attire , looking as If she belonged to a by gone century , and speaking very gram- miitlcally in a quiet , easy fashion , which shows * hu is used to being iiboul Iho world. "You want to talk to me about Almo. Noiisanr1 she said. "Well , I like to talk of her because I love her. and because she was one of the loveliest and nobic.st- hearted women who ever lived. Indeed , ] cannot describe to yuti her lovely dis position. She was remarkably oven * tempered and never gave way to angry expressions as so many ladies do. Natur ally things did not always go to suit her , anil she was not always pieo-sod , but she had a gentle way of remonstrating that never engendered bitterness or angkT. " "Wore you with her when she died ? " "O ! yes , indeed , and a very sad death it was in that little Parisian ohalet with only nor nearest friends about her , No'l- ' sou died the Mill of Augtisl just six years ago. You see , it was this way : she had long been ill at times , 'her trouble being situated in the blood vessels , but she was quite well when she set out to dnvo with two or three friends that afternoon , in tending to leave Paris for Switzerland at night. I staved at homn to get all bur things in I'oadincss for Iho journey , and was greatly startled at being ? enl for Iato in the afternoon to goto Mmo. Noil- son , who was dying at the chalet. The reason of her death was very feimplo a blood vessel which had worn to an ex tremo dopron of thinnos , nnd suddenly broke. Then lifo could bo sustained no longer , and poor madnino died. ' Dlryes.l know nil about those1 storing nbont tlio iced milk , nnd tin- pay wino supper slip bad participated in Hint nighl , but I assure you they arc tlio base-Hfabri cations. Then1 is no truth in them what ever. 1 liavo reason to know tlnit she had not drank a drop of wine that day , ami that slin never drank to eseess , beingri temperate woman in all things. DM tin- way to thn chttlol 1 know the party slopped at a dairv and had some milk , but I am convinced tnatthomllk was not iced. It is ( pillu probable that It was juM fresh from the cow. They Uc very mile iced milk in l-'nuice. And the pally was u very small ono and a very mnel one in every respect. 1 am positive Mint" . Noil- son bad had no wine that day. "No , 1 tin not think she allowed her mi- fortunate marriage to make her unhappy. Sins bail youth , beauty , luxuryeven love , and she had a happy faculty of making the best of things. Shu had a habit of making her will every time she. sol out upon a long journey , and the last otto she made , in which slui bennentlied the bulk of her fortnnt ! to Mr. Nlynn , was , I am sure , more of u whim than anything ol o , as she had never eared for" him. Ho wanted lo marry her , and she respected him. That was all there ever was between them. At Hit ; lime she made her will in his favor , ho madoa will in her.s- an oven exchange , yon ceo , possibly moiv in jest than in earnest. She willed me her wardrobe , which I sold for $8,000. , She said sonic time before her death that if she had a successful season that year .she would have given me a pension. 1 wish she had done .so. I tun getting old , and the work of dressing a great actress is no easy task. "Mine. NeiNon was very easy to dress , because she played mostly in Slinks- pearean drama , where the itressos are very simple , and are seldom changed. 1 never saw her look lovelier than she did the day she died. She wore a simple white dre > s and looked so sweet and ohariiiing as she stopped into her car riage. Poor Mmo. Neilsonl She has gone to n better world. " Tlio Pnwnpc County Convention.

San Diuiro ( Cal.Suu ) : Miss Altie Tul- lanl , ii beautiful and accomplished young lady , is the daughter of Mrs. Tallinn , landlady of the hotel at Knoinilas. She has a luntl claim about a mile .south of Enemitas , on the line of thn California Southern railroad. Last Saturday a spark from a passing locomotive .set lire to the dead grass and threatened Iho destruction of her house and conlents. She look some giinnytmcks. , soaked diem in water , and blurted for the lire. After a determined light Iho flames were subdued and the house saved. On her way back , in pass ing near a pile of railroad ties , she came near stepping upon a large rattlesnake lying beside them , almost hidden from view , but ready to strike the first person that might happen along. Sieving a stick. Miss Tallanl g.'ii'o the reptile bat tle and succccdnd in Killing it , securing tlio body , which measured nearly four feet in lentrth airl five inches in circum ference , us a trophy. That night she slept in her cabin , n full mile from any human belli ? , and arrived at home on Sunday morning , "smiling and looking as f rt-sh as : : i peach , " apparently none Iho worse for the experience of Iho pre vious day. cH or DccjiyiMl Tcutli on Kyc- Chicago News : Decayed te.olh have boon known to exert an injurious effect on the eyesight , but a recent case in Sweden illustrates this reflection in an unusually striking manner.

Observing , however , considerable defecis in the teeth ho scut her to M. Skog.horg , a dental surgeon , who found that all the upper and lower molars were completely decoyed , and 'hut in many of them tin ; roots were inflamed. llu extracted the remains of the molars on the right side ami in four days' time the sight of tlio right eye began to return , and on the eleventh day after the extraction of the tcelh it had become quite normal. Tlio deceased fangs on the other side wore subsequently removed , lest they should cause a return of the ophtlmlminio aiVcclion. _ They million Denial. Messrs.
