GOVKUNOK UUSK of Michigan was re
nominated by the Kcmiblicans 01
Wednesday. The vigorous action of tin
governor in dealing with the riotous elo
niont nt Milwaukee and Hay View las
May created some opposition to hln
among a portion of the working people
but it would seem from the fact that hi
was roiiomlnutod by acclamation , am
fiom the hearty approval of his course ii
the resolutions of the convention , tha
the opposition did not become formid
able and is not feared by the party. Ii
his acceptance spceoli the govornoi
warned anarchists to make tlionisolve
scarce while ho is in authority , and tin
lawless element has had HUOU evidence o
bis determination to maintain order tha
it will undoubtedly heed the warning.

Mr. Kane avers that the Parnollitcs cl
not know how to govern , that the proscn
establishment , surrounded by bayonet
in Dublin castle , is the most glorious th
sun ever shone on , and that its dlsrup
lion would bo a crime against humanitj
This is trim and Hignilicant , taken in con
noctiou with the tact that Mr. Kane am

Ireland , and tlio prospect of losing th
olllccd Illls his soul with horror and hi

ON last Monday the United State
Naval War college , an institution for in

oponoil at Coaster's Harbor Island , U , 1
The college class consists of sovcutee
ollU-i'M just graduated from the torped
class , and there Is a large stall'of in
Btruotord and lecturers drawn from th
army and navy. In explaining the objec
and'aims of the college , Admiral Luct
of the North Atlantic wnmdron , Raid 1
was proposed to hava a higher , wide
nnd more comprehensive course in tli
study of naval warfare as a science tha
had over before been attempted. TJi
introduction of steam as a motive powt
has enabled ships to perform inilitui
operations with the precision of Ian
forces , therefore n knowledge of milltar
art baa become hulisponsable to the nav ;
student In order to perfect himself in hi
profession. The admiral said that whil
the principles of strategy apply equal !
to land and bca , as yet naval tactics nude
steam fnrrn an unsolved problem.
'Churil ) Mowo'tt Ilcpnhltcnnlftin.
Hi fore the republicans of the Fint dis
trict commit the party Jo the support of
Cnui'ch Howe , thcv should a k themsi-lvps
whotlior n innn of his record has any
rightful claim upon llio support of any
dc-cont rcpiililicnn. Lrayins out oi ucs-
lion hi" corrupt methods and notorious
vcimlily wo nppr-al to republicans to
pnu c and icllcel before they put a prem
ium IIDOII party trca on and consjiiracy
agaiiisl it" very rxlFtenro.
Ten yours a < ? o , when thn rcnublicnn
paity was on the \ergo ot disaster ,
and every electoral vote cast for
llajcs mid Wheeler was needed to
relaiii the party in power , Church
Jlutto entered into n conspiracy
lo deliver republican Nebraska into the
hands of the enemy. This infamous plot
is not a mere conjecture. The
proof of it docs not rest on surmise or
"pi" ' . " ! ! . It ! ? tlGl to Im iion-ijoohrd or
biushed nay by pronouncing itouoof
liosowater's malielotis cainpaigii sliind-
tiers.
The records of tha legislature of
which Church Howe was a niuinber in
'TO-77 , contain the indelible proofs of the
treasonable conspiracy , and no denial
can stand against evidence furnished by
his own pen. Hi icily told , the history of
this plan to liaml over the country to
Tllden and democracy is as follows :
In 1H ? ( ) Nebraska elected Sihu
r\ . Strickland , Amas.i Cobb and
\ . H. Connor presidential electors
by a vote of JJI.UIO as against a vote of
10,1)31 ) east for the Tildeii and IJendrlcks
electors. After the election it was dis
covered that the canvass of this vote
could not l.iko place under the then ex
isting law before the legislature con
vened. 'I lie electoral vote had lo bo can
vassed in December at the latest , and tliu
regular session of the legislature did not
buyin until January In order to make
a legal eanvass of the electoral returns
Governor ( Jlarber called a special .session
of the legislature to convene on the fith
of December , ' 70 , at Lincoln , for the pur
pose of canvassing the electoral vote of
the state. The democratic ull'oit to cap
ture lepublican electoral votes is historic ,
lilden'sfileiuls , notably Dr. Miller , had
been plotting for the capture of
one of the electors from Ne
braska , and it is also historic that
a largo bribe was offered to one of tlio
electors , General Strickland. The call of
the legislature broke into the plan of the
plotters , and they lound a willing and
reckless tool in Church Howe. When thu
legislature convened at the capital ,
Church Howe liled a protest which maybe
bo found on pages 0 , 7 and 8 of the Ne
braska House Journal for 1877. The fol
lowing extract makci interesting leading :
"I. Chinch Howe , a mcmbi-r of the icglbl.v
ture of Ni'br.iski , now convened by piocl.i-
illation ot Ills ovellency , Uoveinor Silas
( Jarbur , for the pin pose of canvassing anil
dcclarimr the lestilt of the vote c.ist in Ne
braska for electors for piosldoiH and vice
president oC the United States , hereby entei
my solemn protest aij.iliist such act , denying
that tlio governor lias power to call this body
in special session for any such puinnse , 01
that this body lias any authority to canvas ;
or decline the losultot sucli vote upon tin
following giouinls :
Vlibt , This legislature now convened hav
ing been elected under what Is known as the
old constitution , has no powei to act in lite
proniU'es , the new constitution of the btati
liavlni ; been in foico since November , lb".V
The second and third clauses deal will
technical objections and are somewluil
lengthy. The concluding sentences o :
tills precious document arc as follows
"For the foregoing reasons 1 protest
against any canvass of the electoral vet <
of the state by this body , and domain
that tins , my protest , bo entered upoi
the journal. " ( Signed ) Church Howe ,
member of the legislature of Nebraska
The democrats did not respond to tin
call of the governor and there was bare ! . '
a quorum in the senate , while there wen
several to snare in the house of whiel
Howe was a member. The protest en
tered by Howe was doubtless preparet
by the Tilden lawyers in Omaha am
Howe had tlio glory of being the soli
champion of S im Tildon. Tlio legisla
ture ignored Church Howe , spread hi ;
protest on its record and canvassed tin
electoral vote in spite of it.
When the legislature convened in Jan
uary , 1877 , the presidential contest wa
at its' height in Washington. Churcl
Howe had changed places from the liousi
to the senate. Early in the session , i
resolution was introduced expressing Hi' '
conviction on the part of the senate tha
llaycs and \Vheolor having received :
majority of the electoral votes were entitled
titled to their seats. This resotutioi
cave rise to .1 very lively debate whiel
lasted two days. Church Howe asked t
bu excused from voting when It ilrs
came up aud was so excused. On th
Jinal passage of the resolution the rccon
[ page U70 , Senate Journal 1877 , ] show
tlio following result : Yeas Ambrose
Haird , Hlanchard , Hryaut , Calkins
Cams , Chapman , Colby , Dawes , Gat
field , Oilliam , Hayes , Kennard , ICnapp
Peporm , Towers , Thummel , Van NVycH
Walton and Wllcox 20.
Those voting In the negative wore
Aton , Itrown , Covell. l-'orgusoii , Illinium
Holt , Church Howe and North 8 ,
During the sumo .session of tlio Icgisla
ture , Church Howe's vote on Unitci
States senator for the first three ballots i
recorded as having boon cast for U. W
Thomas , n South Carolina democrat
[ pages ll > 3 and -03 Senate Journal. ] A !
this time Church Howe professed to bo
republican independent , republican 01
national issues nud a temperance grange
on local issues. His temperance am
grange record wo leave for another clmii
tor. Wo simply ask what right a mai
with such a record has to the support o
any republican. The democrats may b
htill in his debt although they claim t <
have paid him in full on a cash basis fo
erviucs rendered.
Deriding tlio Forctcii Service ,
It is not surprising that such oxlub
tions of incapacity as have been made b
the diplomatic representatives of th
government in Mexico should uo . cizc
upon by those who regard the forojg
service as in great part an oxtravagan
Incubus on the national treasury as
.striking example justifying their ouinioi
It must tie frankly confessed that th
whole course of tlio government's roprc
sentntivcs in Mexico had been of a oliai
actor to bring reproach and derision upo
the service , and thu misfortune is that i
does not stand alone , though nothing
quite so weak anil disreputable eve
before occurred in the country's history
The course of lirigham ami Jackso
clearly demonstrated that they wcr
totally unlit for the positions they occupy
and when this was shown it was phial
ho duty of the administration tone \ \
iromptly rcc.xllcd thun. The former
appears lo be a man of such rashness ol
temper as to render him entirely unsuited
to any work \\hich involves diplo <
inncy , while Jackson showed himscll
wholly Ignorant of tlio first requirement
n a case involving diplomatic inquiry
uid discussion , that of gutting all the nc
curate information attainable before tak
ing action or .submitting the matter for
the action of his government. In this
ca. c tlio linste with which the mlnislei
piotjceded on the bare statement of the
consul , Migirost'Jil an overweening anxi
ety to make an impression at Washing
ton , and perhaps to gain a national fame
tor uncommon y.eal in guarding tlio
rights of American citizens in Mexico.
Knowing how u.iMly an element of the
imputation , particularly of the section
trom which lie comes , is influenced l > v
tiny circumstance inlmieat to Mexico , it
is quite reasonable to suppose thai when
thl-5 oppoitmiily came he was eaniril
iw.iy with the notion thai ho CGi'i : ! tv.ru
it lo account for advancing his personal
and political popularity. Mr. Jackson is
reported to havn gone to Mexico , as Win
ston did to Persia , with lolly views of
what a minister miirht accomplish for
ills country. Ho is inU to have had most
comprehensive pl.ms for enlarg
ing the commercial relations bo-
iween the two countries , ami for
increasing and strengthening in every
way that close and cordial intimacy
which ought to sul-sist between two
neighboring republics , both for their own
welfare ami as an e.\amplo. Minister
laekson will not only not have the privi
lege of carrying mu his commendable
intentions , but will not bo credited with
the ability to have done so.
Hut beeniisi ! Hrigham was rash , Jack
son inconsiderate , and Sodgwiek made a
blackguard of himself , it would bu ob
viously unjust to make a sweeping con
demnation or the coiiMilanuiil diplomatic
service. The fault is in the men , not in
the system of the character of their
duties , ami the blame of incapable men
Imving such duties devolved upon them
must , bo placed where it belong.- . , ( .11 those
responsible for their appointment. These
olHjials , with the last addition to them ,
the meddling Consul Porch , were selected
largely with leferonco to what they had
done or might bo expected to do as poli
ticians , and they simply furnish another
conspicuous evidence ot the mistake of
making the foieign Kerviee an a.syluiu for
political place-hunters who cannot be
provided for at home , or such as fancy
that they have a gift for diplomacy. The
idea that a great nation like the United
States can dispense with a diplomatic
establishment is of course absuiil. It is
also untrue and unjusl to assort that this
service has been of no value to the coun
try. Hut a fact that every year become"
more impressive is that the service should
be entirely divorced from politics , and
that it should not bo all'cctcd by the quad-
renni.il changes of administration in liie
govornmeiit. It is not a matter of the
least consequence to foreign governments
whether the accredited representatives ol
this country are democrats or republi
cans , but it would have a great enVct in
increasing the influence of our represent-
ntives and enlarging their usefulness il
tbo principle prevailed of selecting them
lor capacity and Illness , rather than an
the reward of partisans'iip , and if ex
perience , capacity and ellicieney assured
them permanent tenures. This is UK
principle that prevails in other countries
and its merits have been most amply at
tested.
Was Itn Job ?
The only point worthy of notice raisei
by anybody in support of Mayor Uoyd'i
pocket veto of the city hall contract i'
the baseless assertion that the bid ii
from § 10,000 to s,00'J [ ) too high. Now ,
the contract as made embodies a dotmlci
schedule of the cost of each material tc
bo used , including the labor. In othoi
words , the bid spoeilio- much per van
for stone , so niiicn per thousand foi
brick work , and .so much for every othei
item. It even specifies how much tin
material should cost laid on the groum
and hovv much placed in the wall. I
there is any overcharge or job i
could easily bo detected by any competent
potent builder. The hard sewer brie !
work laid in the wall in cemim
is contracted for at $11.50 poi
thousand , and first-class masonry of Col
onulo sand-stone at ? 0.5 ( ) per cubic yard
The bids for other materials are in tin
same proportion. Mr. House and Mr
Sehall , both of them practical men , re
gardcd this bin as very reasonable , if no
low. Omaha builders who have c\am
incd the plans pronounced the conlrac
as advantageous to tlio city. Where i
the $10,000 or § 20,000 .steal in such figures
Has the First National bank abettor con
tract lor its building ? Has Win. A. Pax
ton got a better one for his block ? Iln
Frame J , Hamge made butter term
with his contractors ? Comparisons lib
tlds arc the only basis for any judgmen
on the subject.
The truth Is that Mr. Hogan made hi
bid low because ho believed there wouli
bo sharp competition and being a nov
cnnor , as Coots was when ho got tli
contract for the court house , ho wishci
to make a favorable beginning on a pub
lie building. Had there been a put U ]
job in his bid It would have been to hi ;
interest to file a few btraw bids at higho
rates than his own.
AFTKU the experience of the last thro
days the man who talks up a cold wato
campaign in Nebraska will consult m
personal hafoty by giving tlio fairground
a wide bin tli.

Minneapolis Tribune I heard a story
the other day about the national game of
poker which rather discounts the tough
poker j.irns which from time to time ap
pear in the papcis of the west. A num
ber of gentlemen were sitting on the
chairs in liont of the Ebbitt house when
the subject of poker came up. Stories of
several names wore told and laughed
over , when a gentleman who had not
said a great deal up to tint time ie-
marked : "Well , boys , your stories of big
games are good enough , but I sat in a
game one time where the pot was worth
ilainir for. It was in IbiKi , soon after
Leo's1 surrender. There wore .six or seven
ol us at Atlanta , and a game of poker
was proposed , 'llio sunn was H\ud nt
ifl.OOJ , and the limit at ifi.OJO.OOO , and
tlie play was lively , I toll you. Wo
played from 10 in the moining until after
midnight , and a pot was seldom open
with less than $500,000 in it. Oil one
hand the betting got quite lively , and
when a straight niibli finally beat four
queens the winner raked in nearly i-f.O-
( ,00.000. " The gentlemen silling around
puffed their cigars silently , and admira
tion for thu boss liar of tin : season was
visible on their countenances , lie con
tinued : "You don't ' seem to believe that ,
but it is gospel truth , every word of It. "
Again silence reigned for a moment or
two. when one of them inquired : "What
kind of money weio you playing for ? "
"Well , " he answered , "that was the
trouble. It was , as I said , right sifter the
war. Confederate .scrip wns plentiful ,
and wo used eon fedora to bonds to liuhl
our cigars with. The boodle in that pot
was all in confederate notes smJ bonds ,
and the winner didn't ' think it worth
while to carry it away with him. "
