F.VEIJY republican who wishes to put a
premium on party treason should not fail
to vote for Church Howe.
TUB mainstay of convict labor and tlio
defender of the murderers of workingmen -
men is an excellent sort of : i man to appeal
to laborers for their votes , to assist his
congressional canvass.
A MAN who sold out of the grange and
riveted the chains of monopoly around
the necks of our farmers is u little too
minacious whan ho expects farmers to
endorse his tre.aolicrv.
TIIBHR IM a hirgo amount of careless
ness in the moving of houses on our
paved streets , which demands attention.
Contractors should no more bo allowed
to injure the city's pavements than they
would bo to mntUato private property.
( iKNintAJ. complaint i made of the in-
ollleiency of the street cleaning. The
sweepers used fail to remove tlm dirt.
They disturb it occasionally and distri
bute it to some extent , but they do not do
proper work. The street cleaning is not
being properly donu.
Six Tiiotis.vM ) dollars for a vote
for n democratic senator , two thou
sand for defeating his own prohibition
bill and fifteen hundred for losing trade
of his gamblers' blackmail measure
make an excellent financial record for : \
congressional candidate.

valhies , which ho appeared not to have

salary equally divided between the
sufl'orors from the storms tit llullUlo mid
Sabine Pass , As Itulmlo is his homo unit
Texas Is one of the states understood to
bo most devoted to his political fortunes ,
those contributions may properly be no-
copied as accurately indicating tlio money
value of the president's sympathy in sucli
cases. In the last New York campaign
lie sent ; i thousand dollars to thu demo-
enitio state committee. Polities pleads
more successfully than human sutlering
with Sir. Cleveland ,
TUB statement made by an ox-corporal
of the marine corps , now doing business
in Washington , who is said to bo ix roput-
uble man , that for many years naval
olllcors have been in collusion with
smugglers and have brought to this
country largo quantities of foreign made
goods subject to duties , Is very likely to
create a decided sensation. Tlio ulli-ga-
tlons are In part circumstantial , and
some of the persons named as having
been the bunoliohirics of this practice
have occupied high ollicial stations in
the government. However , the public
will properly hesitate to give credence to
BO startling a story on thu authority of a
eiugleindividual who may have : t strong
personal motlvu for making it. But so
sweeping nn Imputation aguiiiwt the
ulilcers of the navy and a number of
distinguished citi/cns cannot ha dismissed
us unworthy of utumtfou , and If the

there Is reason to expect that it will have

The following circular lias made its

This is a very liberal oiler , but wo : ire
.surprised that the I ! . & M. railroad lias
not paid for the distributing as well .111
for the printing. The railroad organ of
thai company at Lincoln lias already
Hooded the state with Its own ntili-Ynn
Wyck supplements flee of charge. This
bogus "record,1' gotten up oxpre - . ly for
befogging the pconlo with rcg.ird to
Van Wyek ami beating him out of the
popular vote , was very creditable us a
piece of railru.ul printing. Hut when
newspapers all over the state are invited
to circulate this precious ack of lies and
impose upon the credulous by using their
own mimes over it , it is a little too
hrax.on , even if "orders by telegraph are
lilod by the first train after receipt of
order. "
Tlio i'oimlnr
Mr. Cliardo , who lias professed to be a
gn-at anti-monopoly democrat , hut who
now waiitu to get a federal ollico Ihroujili
the packing-liou.se bosses , has taken it
upon himself to serve notice upon demo
cratic committees that tlio printing of a
preference for United States senator upon
democratic tickets would lie a violation
of the law and subject voters to punish
ment.
If this wore not a put-up job by t lie
packing-house crowd it would not be
worthy of notice. The law has reference
only to elective candidates. There is
nothing in the law that directly or indi
rectly provnnts a man from voting for
whomsoever he pleases on any
ticket. The only thing it does pro
hibit is imposition upon the voter
bv printing thu name of a can
didate iii .tho place of the opposing
candidate for a given olliee. Who is the
opposing candidate in an expression of
preference ? Nobody. The voter is au
thorized by the constitution to designate
his preference and the law passed in ac
cordance with thi.s provision not only au
thorizes the voting but requires the can
vassers to count the vote and make returns -
turns thereof. Any election oflieor who
refuses to count the vote and make these
returns is subject to tlio penalty of the
law.
law.Mr.
Mr. Chardc had better go into partner
ship with Jiistico Hilly AlstnUt , of North
Pintle , who overruled the decision of the
supro.'ao court. In this connection wo
may as wall state that one of the ablest
mnn on the bench of this state has de
clared informally that , tlio right of any
voter to vote whatever name for United
States senator ho pleases , anil the right
to print any name for such senatorial
preference on any ticket , cannot bo
questioned. The men who are trying to
frighten people from voting or from
printing tickets with Van Wyck's name
on them , have only one motive and that
is to defeat the constitutional provision
and prevent the expression of the popu
lar will for senator.
The Knuvals Iaml filll.s.
For eight years past Charles II. Gore ,
through his venal sheet , the Lincoln
Journal , has persistently assailed General
Van Wyck and villilicd.his record. Six
years ago , while a member of the state
senate , Van Wyck exposed tlio steal of
the state printing by which Gere was
robbing the tax payers of the state , and
the exposure cut down the profits of the
Journal concern by several thousand
dollars , while it frightened Gere's Omaha
coparcener into California until after the
adjournment of the legislature. Since
that date the editor of the Journal lias
had no use for Van Wyck. It has fought
him malignantly and bitterly. In the
present campaignbacked by tlio Hurling-
ton road , it is using ovnry dirty lie and
slander which its hirelings can invent
to throw obstacles in the path of tlio
senator's reelection.
Its latest production is a half-sheet
supplement of Van Wyck's "record"
filled with cunningly devised falsehoods
and misrepresentations. To the falsity
of most of the statements the entire state
is a witness. The distortions wliioh
are not eo readily exposed Ho in the
pretended true record of'the general's
service in congress and tuosenatu , whom
every vacation absence , every failure to
respond to roll call when .siokness or
death in I.Iie family summoned him away
from his seat , is twisted into a dodge of
measures called up In hit ! absence , 11
there is one infamy wMcli surpasses an
other in this tissue of lies mid misrepresentations ;
sentations , it is that which" refers tj the
Denver and St.-Joseph lands. The his
tory of this robbery of the setclors.by the
railroads and tlm method by which thu
supreme court secured tlio plunder to the
railroad assignees , is a tlirico told tale ,
familiar to all Nebraska. Dur
ing the 47th18th and 40th
congresses , ( icnerul , Van Wyck
scoured in the senate a bill to pay every
settler or purchaser $8.50 per acre , which
was the amount each had paid to Air.
ICnovals , tlio assignee , after ho had ob
tained judgment. The bill passed the
semite , but failed of a passage in the
house. That was certainly not the fault
of General Vnn Wyck.
Last winter the Van Wyok bill finally
passed the house , but eo iiiuoiuled as to
fail In securing justice to throe-fourths
of the owners of tlm lands in imestlon ,
Mr. llollman , of Indiana , was tlio chief
obstacle In the way of its pas
sage as originally drafted. The
amendments which ho taokud to the
bill provided that a settler could
only receive $3.50 an nero for 100. In
oases where more was held or the claim
ant held his land by purchase only $1,25
was to bo allowed under the llollman
amendments. Such a bill would not
have compensated a fourth of the settlors.
Many wore working and improving the
lands bought from original purchasers
and would have been excluded from re
lief. Ail had been forced to pay Knovuls
$ ! ! . ' * 0 an acre and most were now asked
to bo content with a reimbursement of
half that sum , Still , General Van Wyck ,
who himself owned souio of ' the
lauds , was willing , to accept the
llullman amendment. , Hut .ho
was overwhelmed with protests from
claimants in Thayer , Nnekolls and
other c.ountics urging ontheir account
that the senate should decline to ado.pt
tlio ilollman amendments , and thouUI
aisiit upon his' own' bill giving , ( o each
claimant $ .1.50 ah acre , which had been
wrung 'from them by Knovals. Mr.
Laird , who represents that district , joined
hanilg with Senator Van Wyck in oppos
ing tho.llollman . nmomlincnts uiul tire
bill was left whom a oonforonco commit-
ten of the two lrou es must net upon It.
It Is Imped Hint early in the next session
it will be'passed in'tlio form'which ulono
accords justice tO'all parties.
These foot ? arc -fully known to
the Jotminl and to the people
ple ' of thi.s state. .Senator
Van Wyck has been an earnest and devoted -
voted champion of tiio measure. He will
himself be benclitted by the passage of
the bill. ' The very fact that ho ha ? MHUO
interest is proof that ho will not leave a
stone unturned to push the mensurc. It
is malicious folly to abuse tlio senator
when ho hits used every ofl'oii to secure
all the claimants lun-e demanded. Sena
tor Van Wyck's enemies will gain noth
ing by di.storling his record on the lviioal
lands bill. Tin's people directly interested
are not so short sighted as to dusiro to
send to Washington in their interests a
new and inexperienced man who could
be of no pos.sililo assistance to them ,
while Van Wyck has dona and will con
tinue to ilo all in his power to serve them.

The inquiry addressed to Senator Kd-
mil lids on behalf of i'veral members of
the Vermont general assembly , as to
whether I nay cnuld bo assured of his sup
port of the republican candidate for
president in 1S , was certainly some
what unusual , l > ut in view of the course
of Mr. r.dmuud.s two years ago not un
justifiable. There was reason why those
gentlemen who desired some assurance
of what Senator Ivdmund.s might bo ex
pected to do two years hence , In a na
tional campaign , should make such an
inquiry. The country remembers very
well that in the lasl presidential campaign
tlm voice of the Vermont senator was
not heard in behalf of flic party which
had honored him , and to which lie owed
a great debt of obligation and allegiance ,
and republicans know very well that this
f.C-l ; VV ; to .a very serious oxlunl damag
ing to their cau.'o. It is quite impossible
to compute the whole extent of this in
jury , but it cannot bo doubted that had
.Mr. kdmunds ami a few others who were
disgruntled with him applied thomsolvo.s
earnestly and zealously in behalf of this
republican candidates , they would
havu been capable of controlling
the few hundred republican votes by
which the republican came was lost
in New York , and thereby continued the
administration ot the government in the
hands of the republican party. The
members of the Vermont general assem
bly whi > addressed the inquiry to Senator
Kilmunds were doubtless moved thereto
by ihi' conviction that ho is capable of
repealing his sulking course of two
years ago , if the republican candidates
of two years hence should happen not to
bo to his personal liking , and they had
an undoubted right before voting to reelect -
elect Mr. Kdmunds , to ask an assurance
that ho would bo in all respects faithful
to Ins obligations as a republican.
The reply of Senator Edmunds cannot
bo regarded as entirely frank and
straightforward. It does not supply the
assurance ! that was asked for. It is an
evasion of the direct question implied in
the inquiry. The claim he sets up , as a
warrant of confidence , that ho lias boon
always devoted to tlio cause of the re
publican party , will not lie unquestioned
in view of his failure to say a word or
perform an act in behalf of the parti-
two years ago. The ail'cctation of self-
respect , as an excuse for withholding the
assurance asked of him , is quite in the
way of the Vermont senator , but it
doesn't carry conviction that lie will bo
any safer two years hence , in a certain
contingency , than ho was two years ago.
In short , there is nothing in tlio reply of
Mr. Kdmunds to the piopcr inquiry of
tlio members of the Vermont general
assembly that commits him surely to the
support of the republican presidential
candidates in 1839 , and as an uncertain
factor in tlio next national contest ho
occupies an entirely distinct position
among recogni/.cd republican loaders.

Douglas county has a great dual of in
terest in the next legislature aside from
the revision of thu city charter. It is
concerned in putting ; a slop to the out
rageous double tavation by which our
people Imvo been forced to pay 10,000 in
special taxes for the insane hospital after
having already paid a tenth of the cost
of its construction and maintenance.
Douglas co unty is the wealthiest county
in the state. It pays one tenth of the
entire taxation collected in Nebraska ,
Kvory job and corrupt ring organized to
plunder the state taps the Douglas county
treasury in greater proportion than
that of any other county in the Unto ,
While in other states penitentiaries are
self-supporting , tlio tax payers of Ne
braska arc forced to pay an outrageous
impost to feud the ravenous ring at the
btate capital. The issue at the coming
legislature will be largely that of the tax
payers against the tax-uators , and in the
Struggle Douglas county .must take a
leading part ,
Kotli Omalia and Douglas county need
a strong , honest , nggnvssivo delegation in
the next legislature. Important amend-
niouts should be made to our city char
ter. The police needs reorganiza
tion. 1'rovisioij . mut t bo made

The republicans of the First district
should ask tlicmsnlvcB whether a man
having such a record as that of Church
Howe has any rightful , claim upon the
support ot tuiy decent republican. Leav
ing out of question his corrupt methods
and notorious venality we appeal to re
publicans to p'ause find relied before
they put a premium upon party trea
son jinil conspiracy again-slit * very exist
ence.
Ten years ago , when the ro.pnblle.in
party wa . on the verge of di < : i tor , and
every electoral yote east for Hayes and
Wheeler was needed to retain the party
in power , Church Howe entered into
a conspiracy to deliver republican
Nebraska into the hands of the enemy.
This infamous plots \ not a mere conjec
ture. The proof of it does not rest on
surmise or suspicion. It is not to bo
pooh-poohed or brushed away by pro
nouncing it one of Ho owator's malicious
campaign slanders.
Tin records of the legislature of which
Church Howe wu a member in ' 7(5-77 ( ,
contain the indelible proofs of the treasonable
enable conspiracy , and no denial can
stand against evidence furni.shed by his
own pen. ISriolly told , the history of this
plan to hand over llio country to Tilden
and democracy is as follows :
In 18TD Nebraska elected Silas A.
Strickland , Amasa Cohb and A. 11.
Connor presidential elector.by a vote of
31lilO as against a vote of 1(1,1131 ( cast for
the Tilden and Hnntlricks electors. After
the election it was discov-n-ed that the
canvass of this vote could not dike plueo
under the then existing law before the
legislature convened. The electoral vote
had to be canvassed in December
at the latest , and the regular ses
sion of tlm legislature did not betrin
until January. Jn order to make
a legal canvass of the electoral returns ,
( Jovornor Garbor called a special .session
of the legislature to convene on the nth of
December , ' 7i ( , sit Lincoln , for tiio pur
pose of canvassing the electoral vote of
the state. The democratic ) ellbrt to cap
ture republican electoral votes is historic.
Tildon's friends , notably Dr. Miller , had
boon plotting for the capture ot" ono of
the electors from Nebraska , and it is also
historic that a largo bribe was oll'orcd to
one of the electors , General Strickland.
The call of this legislature- broke into the
plan of the plotters , and they found a will
ing and reckless tool in Church Howe.
When the legislature convened at the capi
talChurch Howe Illcd a protest which may
he found on pages ( i , 7 and 8 of the Ne
braska House Journal of 1877. The fol
lowing extract makes interesting reading :
" 1 , Church Howe , a member of the lesisla-
turoof Nebraska , now convened by procla
mation of his excellency , ( lovouior Silas
( larher , for the purpose of canvass ins ; anil
declaring ; tlm result of the vote cast in Ne
braska for electors for president and vice
president of the United States , heicby cuter
my solemn protest ai\inst such act , dnnylng
that the governor has power to call this body
In special session for any siu'li purpose , or
that this body has any authority to canvasser
or declare the result of such vote upon the
following grounds :
First. This liszlolaturo now convened hnv-
iiiK been elected under what is known as the
old constitution , has no power to act in tie !
premises , the new constitution of the state
having onon in foico since November , li > 7. ' > . "
The .second and third clauses deal with
technical objections and are somewhat
lengthy. Tiio concluding sentences of
this precious document are as follows :
"For tlio foregoing reasons I protest
against any canvass of the electoral vote
of the state by his body , and demand
that this , my protest , bo entered upon
the journal. " ( Signed ) Church Howe ,
member of tlio legislature of Nebraska.
The democrats did not respond to the
call of the governor and there-was barely
a quorum in the senate , while there were
several to spare in the house of which
Howe was a member. The protest entered
tored by Howe was doubtless prepared
by the Tilden lawyers in Omaha and
llowo had the glory of being the sole
champion of Sam Tilden. The legisla
ture ignored Church Howe , spread his
protest on its record and canvassed the
electoral vote in spite of it.
When the legislature- convened in Jan
uary , 1877 , the presidential contest was
at Us lieialit in Washington. Church
Howe had changed places from the house
to the senate. Early in tlio session , a
resolution was introduced expressing the
conviction on the part of the senate that
Hayes and Wheeler having received a
majority of the electoral votes wore en-
tilled to their scats. This resolution
gave rise to n very lively dcbato which
laslcd two davs. Church Howe asked to
bo excused from voting when it lirst
came up and was so excused. On the
final passage of the resolution the record
I'pagoUTO , Senate Journal 1877 , ] shows
this following result : Yeas Ambrose ,
Haird , Hlanchard , liryant , Calkins ,
Cams , Chapman , Colby , Dawcs , Garfield -
field , Gilhain , Hayes , Kcnnard , Knapp ,
Popoon , 1'oworH , Thummol , Van Wyek ,
Walton and Wilcos 20.
Those voting in the negative were :
Aren , Brown , Covell , Ferguson , Hinman ,
Holt , Church Howe and North-8.
During the sumo session of the legisla
ture , Church Howe's ' vote on United
States senator for the llrst throe ballots is
recorded as having been cast for E. W.
Thomas , a South Carolina democrat ,
[ .pages 108 and 503 Senate Journal. ] All
tins lime Church llowo professed to be a
republican independent , republican on
national issues and a temperance granger
on local issues. Wo dimply ask what
right a man with such a record lias to
he supp ort of any republican.

the great maritime strujrglo which lu'is
long been going on and the ovorl.m.t
competition which is just now in Its in

says the New York Tribune , when te\ ;
mnde greater inroads on the poeket'booi ;
t'hiin now , and competition In carrying'
from China and Japan to eastern pints
in this country is ono of the Important
factors in the reduction. The sailing ves
sel , technically known as the sailor , was
once the solo medium of transportation
Now the Union , Northern and Canadian
Paeilio railroads almost annihilate the
slow coming and going of tlio whllo
\yiugs on the ocean as tea carriers. Tea ,
likootner things , Is rushing across eon
tinents now in the uiad competition of
modern tralllc.
The sailor took cargoes of poods from
New York nud Boston and brought back
teas in exchange. Hrequiredlrom twelve
Jo fourteen months to make the
round trip. When the weather WJIM
particularly line the voyage tlila wn.v
might bo made in four mouths. When
the California fever broke out the de
mand for freight from this port thither
induced the building of clipper .ships ,
which made a rapid passage , wilhaltond-
ant high freights out but no freights re
turning ; so the clipper crossed the 1'aci-
Ile nnd took In cargoes of teas. The tnnu
of tea transit to this port was thus re
duced to from ninety to ono hundred
da.\s. Then the Panama railroad was
built and steamers from China by the
way of San Francisco to the
Isthmus of Panama , connecting
by rail with .steamers on thi.s
side , oueo more made a reduction tea in
time Irom forty to lifly days. The com
pletion of the Union Pacific railroad ,
with the establishment of the Paeilio
Mail line from California to China , miido
from thirty to thirty-live days the linut.
The Suox canal route made the time from
China to this port from Nixty to seventy
days. The Northern Pacific railroad next
wheeled into competition. Siilllnc ves
sels were .still used as well as steamships
to convoy tea to San Francisco. J 'ow
sailors were also put on to connect also
with llio Northern Paeilio at Portland ,
Oregon. The completion of the Canad
ian Pacific with it.s sailors from Japan
now ullorils throe lino.s of overland com
petition , lill of which are in rivalry with
tlio Sue/ canal route.
The * " four lines of cojnpetition have
reduced the prlco of bringing tea hero .
largely. Until lately the rate wit Inn five
years was rarely below 4 cents ( gross ) a
pound , and by thu Pucilic railroad route
is varied from 0 to 4 cents for the entire
distance from Japan. Now tiio lirst ono
or two fast .steamers which bring in the
lirst now teas make the carrymsr price 5
cents , but after that it falls to U cents ,
or it did last , year , while this year it was
1 } cents. Tlio cost by llio Sue/ canal is
a little less but the time i.s about twicu as
much. Tlio sailing vessels connecting
with the Paeilio railroad run only to
J'ipan , where they receive their cargo of
green tca , from other vessels , which are
four to live days in sailing from Chinese
ports.
The. consumption of the Japan teas
here is more than one-half of all teas con
sumed. Last year the number of pounds
brought bore was -lO.OOD.OOO , while the
importation of green teas amounted to

A PASHA-S SECRET.

Tragedy in Kjiypt.
Cairo Letter : "Do you sco that tall ,
handsome man now talking to Ills high
ness ? " inquired an old diplomat of mo at
one of the state balls given by the Khedive
of Kgvpt in Ins fairy summer palace of
( jcxirch , on the banks on the Nile.
"What , " said I , "do you mean Musta-
pha Pasha F. , llio cabinet minister ? "
"Yes ; and Imvo you noticed that bis
right hand is always glovodv Look at it
now. lie i.s the only man in the room
wearing a glove on that hand , which is
contrary to all cliquot. If he were to re
move it you would perceive an ugly kind
of semi-circular scar. In 187U the Knjr-

peals to tlio European money markets ,

alone could loll. Ono of these was the
khediyo himself , and tin ; other his minister -

termined to turn Kintr's evidence and to ,
rovciil to thorn the following Saturday

invited that minister to accompany him
during his usual afternoon drive , and
pleasantly chatting together , they drove
