A'an \ \ * > ck came to Nebraska as fei
back as 1818 , and ho was hero as one ol
the organi/ors of the republican party In
tins territory ! Ho settled permanently
in Oloe county twelve years ago. lie
was ono of the framers of our state con
stitution and state senator for two terms
15ut Mr. liurr assoits thai Gen-
01 al Van Wjek is not entitled
to the position of senator because
he K not "a tuny Nebraska man.1 We
would like to know what constitutes " : i
truly Nebraska man , " lit to represent
this state in the national logiilatuie. Of
our picsent delegation in congress M in-
doison and Weaver have lived in No-
biaska tlnec years longer than Van
Wjck , Laiid lias lesided in tlio state no
longer than Van Wyclr , anil Dorsov
leads Van Wyck in length of icsidonco
by eight years. All our governors since
rurnas would bo classed as "tcndorfeet' '
and not "tiuly Nebraskans , " accoiding
to Uiur'sstandaid. Two-thirds of our
population , none of whom can be con
sidered "tiuly Nebraskans , " would
uo ineligible to any high
ollico because they have como hero
smco 1371. Such prcposteious iubbisli
is haully worth notice , except as it is
quoted , to impioss the idea ihat General
Van U.vck It. a carpet bagger ficsh fiom
New York , anil with no mateual interests
whatever in Nebraska.
Incidentally , lot us remark that the edi
tor of the BEE never advocated a policy
hu WHS unabio to defend and did
not defend against all assailants The
intimation that hn has botiayed friend
ships , poisoual or political , is equally
baseless. Ho has certainly betrayed
Jib friendship in opposing Church Ho wo.
He has never cultivated that fraud. Ilo
lias consistently opposed and ovposed
the man from tne day ho laid his venal
hand upon Nebiaska politics.
Tin- Mayflower Victorious.
The America's cup is still ours The
trophy which thiity-fivo ycais ago the
yacht Amciica won in llnglisli witers ,
and which many ttmea since the bet t
yachts of England have vainly sought to
rceaptuie.was again snccosfully defended
yestoidaybv the Aimuican sloop Maj-
llovvcr in a vacj with the Ihiglidh cutter
Galatea. The cvont was awaited with
great intercut \aelitiug circles , and
outside of tl.oao elides by those whoso
patriotism was touched , both hero and in
hngland. \ \ hilo the i < imark.ablo sailer.-
lualitius * l'C77nl.y the Mayllower in the
tiial races had induced aquitogonor.il
anticipation of the result , there woio
some experienced in such matter * who
doubted whether t ! : Yankee boat would
have so easy a victory as her suppoitcrs
picdicted , and as she in fact achieved.
The Galatea had been beaten before
ciossing the ocean by the Genosta , which
last year was outsailed by the Puritan in
the race for tlio cup , mid wo had the as-
suianco of the London press that she
was considei-ud infoiior to sev
eral other English yachts , but
with all tins against her the
cutter It wag thought by many would
giv o the sloop olo.sc woi k , The facts at
hand at this writing , however , indicate
that the victory of tlio Mayflower was
moio decisive than that of the Piuitan ,
and this not beeauso she did bettor sail
ing than tlio victor of last yeai Vi race , but
because the Galatoa did not sail as well
as the Gennsta. This showing diminishes
fiomowhat the glory of the result , but
novel ihuless it is a victory to bo pi mid of ,
for while it keeps tlio tionhy It is alio a
revindication of tiio Amciican model and
punciplo in yacht construction.
It is probable that Lieutenant Ilenn ,
the owner of the Uilatea , who is a
thorough sailor , had no e.\peotation of
winning the iaco , and in oulcr that ho
might uot leturn to England withw.it
some honor , issued a challenge for a race
with uny Amciican yacht to UeritiuUn
In such a contest ho would bp almost sine
to como olVtlie victor , if the opportunity
bo aflonied him. Meanwhile the do-
lermmation of English yachtsmen to
i ogam tiiii cup Is as stiong as over , anil
it iser.y piobablo that the Ire * , now the
best yacht in Kngllsh waters , wi'd como
iner ncNtyoar to contest for the tionhy.

A Question ol Gum ing Urgency ;
The National Hoaid of Steam Naviga
tion held its annual session in Now Yoi I
last week The chief object of this organ !
/ation is to educate the public icgard
ing the condition and require nionUot tin
meicliant mniino , and to overt an infill
enco upon congress in behalf of this in
Iciest Tlio recurring sessions of the
board consequently in-c ent toessontiallv
now features , and that just hold was dif
foiunt from tho-,0 preceding it only tc
the extent of a few additional llguiei
showing that the marine interests of the
country , at least with respect to tlio ocean
causing trade , are not growing , and
that the advantage cnjojcd over the
United States by other commercial na
tions in this particular is fully maintained ,
J'or example it was stated that ot ( i,80C
steam vessels engaged in the carrying
tiadc of the world this country has enl >
18" ) , an increase of OJ in four 3 ears. In
actual tonnage thcie was a considerable
ileeicaso dining 1833 , while the constuic-
tion of vessels in American ship yards
declined 10J3 ( ; ! tons in two ycats. An
other striking fact is that of 000 steam
ships ciossing the Atlantic not onecarrica
the Amciican Jlag.
No one familiar with the facts ques
tions that the situation is unfor
tunate. It places this country at a so-
lions disadvantage commercially. Ameri
can merchants and manufacturers can
not compote on terms of equality with
those of rival countries for the world's
trade , for the reason taal the foreign
transportation lines upon which they
must depend naturally discriminate in
favor of the merchants and manufactur
ers of the countries in which those lines
are owned. They compel American
shippers to pay all the tribute they can
possibly exact , the extent of tiicir de
mands in this direction being only lim
ited by rivalry among themselves. The
liibulo thus paid , amounting annually
to between two and three hundred mil
lions of dollars , is nearly all taken out of
the country. In ether ways our mer
chants and manufacturers are at n dis
advantage , while the shipbuilding in
dustry steadily declines. The superiority
of England , Franco and Germany in tlio
carrying trade has enabled these coun
tries to secure and maintain the control
of four-fifths of the trade of South and
Central America and Mex-ico , of which
the United States should naturally have
the larger part , and with adequate car
rying facilities doubtless would have.
The vast trade of the Asian countiics in
the Pacific also goes almost wholly to
these nations , largely because this coun
try laoks the means of rapid transporta
tion.
tion.Thero
There is abundant evidence of the un-
foitunatc situation of tlio Uuitca gtr.tCs
ill this "csiu.ot , anil most intelligent people

it ought to bo remedied , It would doubt

miliar with the facts who would not say
that such a position is inimical to tlio
welfare of the country , humiliating to us
us a pcoplo , and ought not to continue.
l'.ut iiow shall it bo remedied ? The sub
ject lias boon knockingjat the doors of

the wisdom of that body has boon nnablo

lilies shows increasing activity , and bus-
ness at Intciior cities maintains the im-

mst. The tc-ilo mills of thn Now Kng.
iiuil and Middle states aiowcll emplojcd
in eiders , and the general position and
uospects of this industiy are better than

mos of the market and the recent tightening
oning of the pursc-strinirs of the bank' '
have weakened confidence and ciioekct
speculation for a rise in prices : but thej
have failed to depress values materially
owing to the unccitaintics of the foreigr
political situation and the shoitagc o
iMiiopcan crops , which may at any time
cattbo a renewal of the brisk expoit de
inatul noted in the earlier weeks ol
August. There ha been nogoncial pressure
sure to sell , and the market has simplj
sagged downward a little under its own
weight. Prices at the close yostoidaj
wore 1 cent lower than at the saint
time last week. Corn has been in rather
bcttei demand for cx-poit , but there hat
been no activ ity in 'the ' trailo. Large re
ceipts ha\o caused a dqcline of 1 cent per
bushel in prices at Chicago , and the pios-
pect of increased shnmlents tlieneo to the
seaboard have picvcnted any de
cided change for jtho belter in
eastern markets , where present stocks
arc very small. In Now York , however ,
the market shows an advance of i cent
per bushel as compared with prices
current a week ago. llog products ate

One of Tom Hood's funniest stones
gives an account of the c\i > eiienecs of
himself aud ti fiiund in Lisbon. They
had tarried long tit the howl , and when ,
some time after midnight , they emerged
ftom tlio tap house to find their way to
thuir lodgings , the earth performed in a
most extraordinary manner. At that
instant they remembered in a db/y soil
of a way that that vety city had , years
before , boon the ' ceno of an earthquake
which had swallowed up many buildings
and thousands of lives. The strange
perform uiccs of the sidewalks , of the
sheets , and of the building * , vvhieh either
hew up and hit them , or fell against
them with Mtch torco as to knock them
down , satisfied the rovelcrs that another
eonvulsion of the globe was in piogresb ,
and it is Hood's v eraeious description of
these occuircncos vvhieh lias amused
more than one leader of that quaint
poet's _ vvorks.
In view of the great quake which was
felt only a fovv days ago over a hu go
portion , ol the North Amer can continent ,
it is possible that the only thing thai
ailed ticnci.il Scdgvvick , the Special
hmoy of the United States to Mexico ,
was the unsteadiness ot the earth. It
does cut up some queer capers late at
night , FO they say.
A REMARKABLE WATER.SPOUT.
Tlie Wonilerl'iit Kxcclsmr Geyser that
Recently IJutbt Opun in the
Yellowstone Park.
The recent outbreak of the Excelsior
geyser , in the Yellowstone paik , after
being quiet for more than four years , will
render the following dcsciiption fiom
the Hiiltnnoro American of intciost to
leaders : Up to 1878 thoio had been discovered -
covered in the Yellowstone p.uk a)1) ! )
springs and geysers , including seventy-
ono active goysois , and this enormous
number was the result of only a partial
survey ot the territory. Thu greater *
number 9f the active goisx-rs nut found
in what is known as the Upper tioyser
basin , vvhora they am found chiolly
along the banks ot the Yellowstone liver.
Six miles below the upper basin is what
is called tha Middle iJoysor basin. It is
hoiothat nio found the great Excelsior
geyser and the gland I'risiimtio spring.

1'ho tixcolsior is the largestgoysurknown
in the world , but its eruptions hoiolotoro
have been soiricgularthatfovvliavo been
witnessed of late . \cars. The name of
Clill caldioii was given it by the Havdcn
survey in 1871 , and it was not until some
years Intel that it was discovered
to bo a powerful geyser. In 1881
a scries of great entpitiofib took place ,
in which a great column of water was
ejected to the height of ! i50 and oven
UUOfcet. At times stones were thrown
out. The crater is an immense pit ! W (
feet in length and 200 feet in width at the
widest part , the clill-likoand tiuacherous
walls being tiom fifteen to twenty feet
high from the boiling waters to the sur
rounding level. The water is always in
violent agitation , nnd dense clouds , ol
Btoam generally obscure the smfaco.
' lloll's Half Aero" is another oxproosivo
name given to this teriiblo pit Two
tiviilets pour forth into the river fiom

brilliantly colored , yellow , orange , -ed ,
