IT is llio height of nonsense in the ir
responsible scribblers of Omaha papisr
to cry ' 'job" in the city hall matter. 1 :
the young men who arc niisiiiinixiii :
tlicso shoots in tlio editor's absence Inn
boon in Omaha longer they would knov
better. It is now eighteen months sinw
the location of the oily hall was elocidoe
upon nflor a long canvas of public opm
ion. It is nearly twelve since the pi-opl
of this city , by an overwhelming major
ity , ratified that choice , nnd imtliori/.ct
the board of education to not nsielo theii
portion for the commencement of tin
building. At every stage in the controversy
vorsy the public has been consulted ami
has supported ami commendud the course
taken by this paper , and earned out l > >
the city council. Tlicro cannot bo the
shadow of a question as to where tlu
people of this city desire their public
building located , on what spot the >
want it built or how soon they want il
begun. The potty cabal of jaundicei
politicians and disgruntled real estate
owners , who are yelping at the heels ol
the KEK ami the city council , represent
only envy and spleen. They have IK
backing , no respectable following and nc
basis for their personal assaults.
Mn. DANIEL MANNING and Oovornoi
Hill are said to have boon consulting re
garding the political faituation and re
quircmonts in Now York , ami it is jjivoi
out that there was nn entirely liurinoni
ous understanding between them. It ii
assumed from this that the administra
lion and the governor are on cordial
terms , and that they will be found work'
ing together heartily for tliu unity anil
harmony of tke democracy of Now York
The Hill machine has recently boon vorj
badly shattered , and it will take sotm
time to repair and restore it. It is vorj
likely that the shrewd governor , realizing
his Bomowhat crippled situation , lind.s ii
expedient to fly low for a while. Should
Now York go democratic in November ,
nothing is more certain than that the
credit of the result would bo given mos
largely to 11111 , nnd having used the time
to develop now men in his interest , hi
can then reorganize the machine will
reference to his personal advantage , ant
with improved material. It is still nearly
two yours boforn the national demooratic
convention. It is thought that the New
York state democratic committee , whicli
wjll moot on the 21st of this month , will
decide not to hold a state convention.
ENVOY Sr.imwicic enters the plea ol

every consideration of national pvldc
and of solf-rospoot would have Induced
the consul and the correspondents of
American newspapers to oover uu if pos
sible any broach of duoorum or decency
on the part of the envoy. The report oi
the consul to the state department wus
explicit in the terms and character of Us
allegations , nnd was apparently not made
on hearsay. The olfbnso of Mr , Sodgwick

A Washington correspondent has fouiu
the cause of the long delay in issuinj
calls for proposals for the conslrnotion o
the four new war vessels iiutliomed Ube
bo built by congress. Two of them wer
to bo protected cruisers ot abou
4,000 tons displacement ; the othu
two wore to bo gunboats of about 1,71) )
tons and 870 tons respectively , all to b
constructed of steel. Work upon the dc
signs for these vessels was entered upoi
by the bureau of construction of tin
navy department as soon as the appro
priation became available. The boarc
to supervise the plans approved those fo
the gunboats about the end of last May
and those for the cruisers wore approve )
about two months ago.
In the meantime Secretary Whitne ;
had obtained -knowledge that a cruise
built in Great Britain for tlio Japanes
government had attained great speed
ami lie determined to have one of tlv
1,000 ton American cruisers built aftc
the plans of the Japanese vessel. Thoi
came n , revision of the plans , and with 5
the discovery that tlio bureau of con
struolion had made a botch ot the design
whicli the supervising board had allowei
to pass. It was necessary to design am
draw u new sot of lines , and this wa
done to a certain extent by patching u ;
the defective plans. This having beei
done , the advertisement for proposal ;
was prepared , but before it received tin
signature of the secretary another blunder
dor was discovered. The board on addi
tional vessels , probably in ignorance o
the law which required that all of thes <
boats should bo built of steel , had ap
proved designs for the construction o :
one of the eunboats of composite mate
rial that is , of wood nnd iron. Mori
than $23,000 had been expended in pay
mont'of draughtsmen , and the result wai
one design condemned , one found defec
live and patched up , and a third tha
may bo found wanting. The draughts
men of course simply obeyed orders , am
are not to blame. The fault is due tc
the Inulllcicncy of the construction bu
rcau , for which Mr. Whitney is measur
ably responsible , and to the apparent
btupidity or carelessness of the super
vising board. But wherever the blame
ought justly to bo laid , , ind wo can see nc
reason why the secretary should cscap <
las share of it , thu unavoidable conclu
sion from such facts must bo that the
navy department is still very far fron
being a model establishment , and iti
boasted reform might undergo consider
able reformation with advantage to th <
service and profit to the government.
llecomitlnn tlio Indians.
The discovery that the Indians at Pirn
Kidgo are drawing too many rations hai
led Commissioner Atkins to order a re
count of all the Sioux on all the agencies
ou September 23d. This method of
counting the Indians will accurately decide
cide how many of the la/.y red men hayc
boon drawing double rations from Uneh
Sam's storehouses. It has been a favorite
pastime of the wily savage to have him
self registered at several agencies am !
attend issue days at all. The yearly
census has shown nothing because of the
roving character of the tribes. In
diaiis from Kosobud always man
aged to be ut Pine Hidgo al
census time , and the Ogallala Sioux
returned the favor by swelling the con
BUS at Rosebud. By counting all the In
dians on the same day at the various
agencies this swapping of families in
order to increase the rations will be ob
viated.
No doubt the result of the count will
show a heavy decrease In the number of
Sioux entitled to rations. What then !
Shall the surplus food supply be cut oil' !
Kxporieneed observers like Ur. Mctlilli'
cuddy declare that a decrease in rations
will certainly en use trouble , The pros
out Indian ration is too small. It was
Hxod when game was plenty and buftalc
meat abundant. Now there is little
game and no buffalo. The In
dian has made up for whal
he considers an insuilleiont ra
tion by drawing more rations than
ho is entitled to. If the rations are cnl
down in number dissatisfaction is mire to
ensue. A hungry Indian in a bad Indian.
Commissioner Atkins should look ovei
the ground carefully before he decreases
the fooit supply of the Sioux. Nebraska
is vitally interested that peace should bo
preserved ou her northern border , A
single month of Indian outbreak would
cost the government and the state inert
lives and money than could be balanced
by a do7.on yearly ration issues of the
prose nt amount.

Other Ijnmls Than Ours.
Bulgaria is once more under Huss'ai '
control. The intrigues of Muscovy hav
succeeded. Alexander has signed hi
formal abdication and left the country
and the election of a now ruler in fill
sympathy with Hiissia's ambition will bi
tlio next move on the diplomatic dies
board. The consent of tliu great power
to the downfall of Alexander is nov
apparent. England alone was uncon
bid tea in tlio negotiations by whicl
Kuropo agreed to support the Rnssiai
position , and England betrays no indica
tioa of an intention to resist the proseeu
tion of Russian designs in tlio Balkans
This fact is 01:0 of the most puzzling ii
connection with the many and gravi
complications of the situation , foi
while it was easy to understani
that England could not for r
moment contemplate going to wa
solely in behalf of Prince Alexander
whatever his fate , it becomes dillicult t (
comprehend how the Britishgovornmoni
can maintain an attitude of apparently
listless Indill'oronco to circumstances
winch plainly point to Russian purpose
to dominate Bulgaria. So grave a menace
to her power a few years ago would
have aroused Eugl ind to prompt and
energetic action. Whal tremendous in-
lluence is it that now restrains her ?
Alexander personified the struggle bo
twcon the independence of Bulgaria and
its Russianizalion. So long as ho should
remain in power there would b a guaran
tee of the chcckmaliuir of Russian de
signs in the Balkins , such as could be
hoped for in no other way short of war ,
With his departure that guarantee is re
moved. May wo not expect to see
renewed in come form the struggle ol
England and llus.sia at Constantinople
for paramount influence over the porte ,
and when that struggle boprins may it nol
be the signal for the greatest conflict
mcelern Europe has known ?
A
The salient fact of the political situa
tion in England is the failure of the
efforts to ollect a compromise
between the Salisbury government am ;
Mr. Parncll. The ministry declines tc
support Mr. PiirneH's measure for the
conditional suspension of evictions in cer
tain cases , and is fully determined thai
there shall bo no Irish legislation of any
kind until next year , Tim decision of the
government to this effect is principally
duo to the attitude of Lord Harrington
who resolutely opposes any concession tc
the nationalists and pledges Lord Sails
bury the undivided support ol
the unionists in resistance to Mr. Par-
mill's bill. The coalition remains in abso
lute control of the situation , and the op
position Is powerless to accomplish any
thing so long as Salisbury , Ilartington
and Chamberlain remain in control. Tnc
( iladslonoan leaders have announced
that they will not countenance a policy
of obstruction , and Mr. Parnell has
pledged himself publioly not to resort to
such tactics. There seems no reason ,
therefore , to doubt that the ministerial
programme , which uontoinplntcH an im
mediate passage of the supply bills and
an adjournment as early as the 25th in
stant , will be earned out to ijie letter.
. " .
It is not a matter of surprise that c
sentiment of uneasiness should prevail
throughout Europe as to the nminton
unco of peace. On the other hand , tlu
wonder Is that the treaty of Borlh :
should have survived so long. The prin
cipal business of the diilerent govern
ments has boon for years the training ol
soldiers. It Is estimated that * there art
now with the colors of Europe verj
nearly four millions of men , rather more
than 0 pur cent of the adult mule popula ;
tion' This tremendous armament fore
bodes war. Recent estimates show thai
Russia is spending ? 225,000,000 a year on
her army and navy ; Franco , $200,000,000
Great Britain , $160,000,000- , Ger
many , ? 1CO,000,000 ; Austria , fCO-
000,000 ; Italy , $50,000,000 ; Turkey ,
? aO,000,000 ; Spain , ? 30,000,000. These
powers spoml together the enormous
sum of $845,000,000 annually in prepar
ing for war. Can any one believe that n
faith manifesting Itself by such works aa
those can bo mistaken ? There are 800-
000,000 arguments advanced each year in
support of the thesis that a great Euro
pean struggle is imminent. Who can
doubt it in the face of such reasoning !
This is the logic that gives such signal
rsignllicanco to the closing of the port of
Batoum , to the intrigues in Bulgaria and
to the dlllbrences about the Afghan
frontier. The Old World Is simply await *
Ing the touch of the torch to burst into a
conflagration the like of which has not
been .scon since the era of Bonaparte.
The nations have been making ready the
materials for the bonfire long enough ; tha
time impends when the blaze will ron
nnd roll over the continents.

It Is claimed that the present house e

Of Its 03t members , 5J20 are said to b
pledged to support tlio measure , while e
the remainder only 115 are its avowed 01
ponents. The conservatives are moro i
favor of the chnngo than the liberal *
more than half their number being o
that side. There Is very good reason t
believe that the extension of the sufl'rng
in this direction Avould strengthen th
hands of the lories. The natural tern
oncv to conservatism Is stronger i
womoii than in men , and the average e :
education and intelligence is lower. Th
church Influence is more general , and tii
attachment to social inequalities an
privileges more decided. It would be
conservative reform

ALBION , Nob. , Sept. 4. To the l3dlto
of the HEK : The heated term 1ms nc

very remote eiithcr , when two or thrc
men residing atlhccouittysentconliollp

county. Hut the power of tlicso men ha
been steadily on tlio wane over smco th
cyclone struck the aspirations of Lora :
Clark for the tronsurership , four year
ago. However , along in the cool of evening
ing , notwithstanding the heat , there ha
been a tiooil deal of slate-making by th
old party hacks , which I fear will b
bnelly rubbed out when the farmers gc
done threshing and have a little time ti
look after their political wnnts. It i
given out very quietly that Clark is UK

other parts of the state , and especially
the railway malingers , that ho is still th
great republican leueler of this county
Whereas Ihc real truth is , ho could nebo
bo eleeled to any olllce in the county
even should lie wish it. One J. C. Mum
has been chairman of tnc county centra
committee , but under his muimutMiien
the partv has steadily lost , gremtul , ami i
is thought wise to change llut'programmi
for the tall campaign , nnd Clark is to bi
the power behind the throne to try am
down Van Wyck. They are nowcastlnj
about to Hud a man to send us represcn
tativo to the legislature who will bo pop
ular enough at homo to pull the woo
over the farmers' eyes and at the same
time do their bidding , it elected , when hi
pets to Lincoln. 1-or some time thcj
thought they hail such an one in Join
I'oters , a man who has served the count }
for a number of terms as countv clerk
who has made what ho is worth in tlu
service of the 13. & M. as agon
for their lands. John is quite pop
ular m tlio county , and very acceptable
to the railroad crowd , as they knvw thane
no "man can servo two musters. " Hi
has not declared himself upon the senatorial
torial eiuostion , but it is very _ casv to im
dor.stnnd where his position is upon thnt
as the News favors Ins candidacy , nnd il
never loses an opportunity to abuse out
senior senator. The papers in Cedai
UapidSj upon the west sulu of the county ,
are trying to get up a little boom foi
Dennis Trany , an outspoken gontlemut :
of Irish decent. Hut Denis , by his talk
ing , has put himself in a box. Ho has elc'
clared for Van \Vyck , which kills him
dead with the railrocno gang. The Van
Wyck people can not trust him since his
sell-out of the people's cause three ye.irt
ngo. So there ocoms nothing left foi
him but to so over to the prohibitionists ,
Within a few days past , the ruilroguc
crowd have boon talking up Fred Smith
for their representative. Fred holelfi
down a stool as cashier of the Bnonc
County bank. He was the monopolist's
candidate for county judge three years
ace , and got badly snowed iimlor.
Whether ho lias experienced a change of
heart since that time , your correspondent
is unable to say. However , the business
in whicli ho is engaged seldom makes a
convert to the cause of the ? people. The
great majority of the people arc in favor
of Van Wyck s return to the scnito. II
his iv-clcction dopondcet upon the direct
popular vote there is not a doubt of his
success. .lut the old party dodge will bn
worked with all the vior tlio leaders oi
the gang can master. Every republican
will be forced to abide by king caucus.
Every democrat , if he listens to thr.
Herald , and like ilk must vote his party
ticket straight. There is a little very
quiet talk by the railroad democrats in
this county , of running a straight party
ticket. W itli the rank and iilo ot the
democracy in the county , Van Wvck is
perfectly acceptable. An independent
candidate by them would bo to give the
whole battle to the raielroad crewel wear
ing the republican label. With a union
of the elements in favor of Van Wyck , a
representative favorable to his return can
easily be elected from Doono county.
VKUI'TAS.
An Independent , Farmer.
NEUGH , Neb. , Sept. 7. Editor of Br.E ;
Local papers ami some articles in the
Omaha Republican are using my name
quite freely of late for the reason that I
am outspoken in favor of General Van
Wyck for ro-olcction. It is claimed that
I should stick closely to my farm ami not
create such a disturbance when I come
into town. A farmer has no voice in the
selection of candidates. The railroad
rings , the bank rings , the court house
rings , can fix : up the proper ticket and
label them republican or democratic , as
the case may be , and wo must vote the
licKct thus formed , or bo labelled kiokors
or some other epithet they may choose to
u&o. Now I would urge every ; farmer
and every laboring man in Ne
braska to veto your honest
convictions the coming election. Do not
lot three or four rinustors control your
county conventions. For once assert
your manhood and give Ihcse gentry to
understand that you hold the power.
These town follows promise every olllce
to the country precincts , then sell you out
and take them themselves. Lot every
wajro worker , of whatever occupation ,
wheel into line , lie politician enough
to vote against those you know who are
not In sympathy with you. See to It that
you are properly represented. Soldiers
at Nebraska , vote for those men who
represent your interest. Vote us you
fought at tlio coming election. Fight at
Lho polls as valiantly for your rights as
foil did on a hundred outtlo fields for the
preservation of this glorious union.
