UNUEII the bead of "Odd Items Fr Every where" the following appears in Boston paper : "A Rapid City , Da man bought some goods in Chicago , I whole amounting to ? 73. The freight Kapld City reached $51. " Yet in t country there is nothing odd about it. is only one among thousands of si ml outrages perpetrated every day iu ' week and every week lu the month r every month iu the year , and from ppoarauocs to bo repeated every ycai ) be centuries to couio. Xho Accountability Will Stick. The revocation by I'rcildcnt Cleveland of the order directing the return of the confederate flags will not relieve him ol thn accountability to the people for hla original order. The disposition nnd spirit that prompted his first action the loyal people of the country will noithoi forgot nor forgive. In rescinding tin offensive order , after becoming aware o ! the storm of indignation it had raised the president states that upon a more careful consideration ho had found tha' ' the return of the ilag3 in the ruannc : contemplated was not "authorized by tin existing law nor justified as an oxccutivi act. " Unless the second reason of tht sentence can be construed as n con cession none is made. The prosldcn offers nothing by way of amend or conciliation to the patriotic sen tlmcnl of the country which ho had si needlessly and gravely ottered , llavhif discovered that his order was wlthou authority of law and not a justifiable ox ccutlvc act ho docs of necessity what hi could not avoid doing in countermand ing it. There is no acknowludgomen beyond this , no expression of regret tha a grave mistake had been thoughtless ! ; made , no suggestion that did the author ity exist ho would not have adhered tt his first action , characterized by his secretary rotary of state as the "bravest , wisest and most patriotic move ever performoi by the executive of a great people , " Th matter In every respect shows that Mr Cleveland was wholly indifferent to whn eflect the proceeding he ordered might have upon the sentiment of tno north but seeing an opportunity to furthc pander to the ruling sentiment of th south accepted it without considerin ; cither the question of authority or prc pricty. Thcro is absolutclv no defense of th president in this matter , and his friend will try in vain to lind one. The assuror tion that the surrender of these Hut ! would have contributed to remove th animosities of the war and allay section : feuling is puerile nonsense , oven thoug it bo the opinion of a cabinet ofticia The effect would rather have been to n open these animosities , since whatever c sentiment remains in the south in symp : thy with the rebellion would have fonn in this circumstance a source of gratifici tion that it could not have concealed an would not have attempted to. It woul have madn the occasion , ns the govornn of Louisiana says , ono of rejoicing , an its gladness would not have been mani festcd in expressions of gratitude , bi in words of tauut and dcfunci Everywhere the old rebel yell would hav greeted these mementoes of defeat , n awakening the old passions and rckind ling the nearly burned out iires of affei tion for the lost cause. The rcsentmot of the loyal sentiment of the countr would thus have inaugurated an other era of bitterness possibly mot intense than any that has passed. Tli trophies of union victory are nannies where they are. They appeal to n passions , they excite no animosities , the invite neither rejoicing nor regret. Bi they properly belong nowhere else , an it would be nothing short of sacrilege t disturb them. This is the view the so ! dicrs of the country and those who syii pathizo with them take of the president action , and they will hold him to a fu accountability. His withdrawal of a order ho had no authority to make dor not acquit him of the disposition t commit this grave and incxcusab ! wrong. The Southwwut Kallroacl. We have just received a map of tt San Antonio & Aransas Pass railroai now under construction from the Gulf i Mexico , starting at Aransas pass , and c tending north through the "Panhandle of Texas to Dodge City , Kan. This pushing southern company hs completed on the 1st of May 293 miles c road , constructed in the best possib manner , standard gauge , heavy etc rails and with iron and steel bridge and by this time they probably have 3 miles completed. Wo have been urging the Omaha Southwestern road to build a direct lit to the northeast corner -of Texas. ] view of this southern conneetion havii : decided to push on up to Dodge Cit Kan. , our proposed railroad could t built to that point with a great saving 1 distance and the cost of bridging the A kansas river. The distance from Omal to Dodge City on an air line is but 3 miles. From Dodge City to Kansas Cil by the Atohison & Topoku road is 8 miles. Shall the opportunity of conncctit with this great southern road be lost Omaha simply because of our suplncucs We trust not. If the Young combinatu are simply adventurers lot a compai meaning real business strike at once t < a direct line from Omaha to connect wi this road from the gulf. No other line of equal importance to our city , tl state , or to capital seeking railroad i ; vestment. Cleanliness In Order. This extremely warm weather suggcs disease and disease suggests clcanline ! The dreaded death-dealing disease , ehi erahas threatened this country for sovot seasons past , and those in position know caution all cities to disinfect ai be prepared should it cuter the Unit States. Once within our borders , there nothing to check it. It will remembered that when it 1 : visited America , it reached from ocean ocean. It followed the old trails acre the plains nnd played sad havoc in S Francisco , then nothing but a little whi washed Spanish mission. TheChica Herald reads this sensible advice to c ! Kens of Chicago , which is applicable all towns and cities : "During the nr three mouths the weather will bo partic larly favorable for the generation of d tnso-gortns in decaying matter. Tno s will return to the south , and there be seasons of a direct south wind , wi very hot air , in which vast quantities moisture will bo taken up. The effect this south wiud on the health is not go < The wooden pavements act bat under the same influences. In vi of the danger of an opldcn of cholera , the city should pi hibit the Uttering' ' of the streets that now a custom. Saloonkeepers have a a pestiferous habit of piling beer kegs the gutters of block pavements , where I beer drizzles all night nnd rises into i air the next night , filled with zyinc maladies. The storekeepers should cautioned against swooping dirt into I streets , and a thorough sweeping a flooding of gutters should bo order Thorc is no adequate barrier between the United States and the less progressive countries wh.ch nro now on fumlllar terms with his Asiatic Majesty , King Cholera. Great advances arc making in disinfectants , but the best disinfectant of all is to remove the offending substance. " Other hands Tlinn Ours. The crimes bill was reported in the house of commons yesterday , and the action taken is given in our cablegrams. The course of events during the past week has not been encouraging to the cause of homo ruin. It is said that even Mr. Gladstone has bccomo satisfied that the light being made is hopeless , and that he is contemplating the abandonment of home rule for the time and tliu adoption of some plan that will unlto both wings of his party. The indications aru that he lias withdrawn from the struggle in the house , leaving the contest to bo carried on by the Irish party in its own way , Having failed to convince the country and seeing no hope of doing so , Mr. Gladstone has apparently determined that in order to present the most formid' able resistance to future policies of the government it is neces sary to unite the party and let the inevitable come with respect U the present issue. The Irish leaders however , are holding their grou nd llnnlv , and yield to superior numbers only aftci they have made over y effort that is pos sible to the minority. Evictions are slil going on in Ireland , in many cases char acterized by great harshness , and the government shows no disposition to in terfere , though promising that they will be temporarily suspe nded during jubilei week. Tins memorable period will bi-gh next Monday , and is expected to bi marked by many notable oveuts and In cidents. There aru reports of dynamite plots , in consequence of which extraor dinary precautions will bo taken. It u said the queen had become alarmed al these reports , but it is not probable thai the venerable lady will bo in any danger. . * * Solicitude regarding the condition 01 the German emperor and crowt prince is not con lined to tin people of Germany , but i general throughout Europe. The lates intelligence respecting the latter is inon favorable , the growth iu his throat hav ing shown no increase sinou the last operation , but there is very strong medi cal opinion that the view taken by hi ; physicians of the character of his maludj is not correct. With regard to the eli : cmporor , ho is believed to bo very neat the end of his career. It is said to be hi. own conviction that ho will never leavt his bed again. He grows more feebli joth physically and mentally , the lattei condition especially exciting alarm. * * French affairs have presented no now phases within a few days , but it is the current idea that the position of tin new cabinent is not a pleasant one , and hat it is having a struggle to keep it , Boulaugler is the bugbear with which thi ministers arc still desperately grappling The popular general has no been forgotten , as is so oflon the cess it mercurial Franco when the popular idols ire taken from their pedestals. His pop ularitp crops up nil over , and the mos energetic and comic efforts fail to keep i down. Whether the ministry will survivi , ho close of the session , on July 13 , i ihought by many to bo questionable The next ministerial crisis , whenever i comes , will bo the most exciting Franci has known for a long while. The trl umphant return of Boulangcr seems nl mast a certainty , for public opinion i thoroughly aroused against the unioi openly confessed between the ropublicai government aud the reactionaries , b ; which Boulangcr is excluded and tin present unnatural ministry upheld. T < the usual excitement there may be addei the resignation of Grovy. It is knowi that the venerable president is almos heartbroken at the fierce attacks dircctei against himself by the politicians nni newspapers formerly fnondly to him and that ho is unwilling to undergo onci more the ordeal of a change of ministry The danger of the possibility of forcinj Grcvy's resignation will do much to sup nort the Bouvior cabinet. The dobat on the army bill in the French -chair bors indicates a tacit understandini between the ministry and the moderat right. General Ferron was distiuotl ; charged with this aud asked to say definitely finitely whether such an understand ! ! ) ; existed and lie declined to answer. It i not at all improbable that such an alii uncc would sustain the ministry for al practical purposes for the present , but i could not bu made the basis of a pormr nont policy. The time must soon come after the budget is disposed of , who questions of a clearly political nature wil arisn , riven if they do not come up iu con nection with the budget , and any noli ticul question would instantly dissolv the combination. The members of th right arc too firmly opposed to the vcr existence of the republic to forbear al tacking it at the tir.st really favorabl opportunity. Their self-restraint ma outlast thn army bill and the more in portant requirements of the treaaur measures , but it cannot go much furthei * The city of Herat , which English 01 ginccrs are reported to be fortifying wit strong redoubts , in order that its garriso may be able to withstand a siege unt the English could come to its relief , he been through many sieges , and in one < them , endured half a century ago from strong Persian army well supplied wit artillery , its defenders successfully r < sisted all attacks for a period of tu months. About twenty-live years late Mohammed required as long a time I reduce the place. The city is situated i an exceedingly fertile valley , drained t thn Ilari llud , which , after passing ju south of the city In its westward coursi turns nortli through Zulh'kar pass ai : ilows into Persia. Artitibial irrigation also found in the valley , which produce much more than the quantil of grain nnd other food su plies needed for the city , ought to be possible to so protect an support it as to detain an assailant unt help could como from the English. C the approaches to Herat from the Itussit aide the most important and practicab are Robat Pas' , which is eUreotly north i the city at a short distance from it , an ZuIQkar Pass , much further to the nort west. The latter , nevertheless , might 1 the line of a. Russian advance , partly b cause the narrow and precipitous Rob Pass is BO easily dofeadod nd partly b cause the Russians have already workc themselves toward the ilari Rud , as if .i tending an approach.from that direction. % The controvcrsy bctwcon Venezuela and England over Wo frontier of British Guiana is not yof'scttlcd. The former in sists that the recent Knclish advance lute the disputed territory violates the treaty of 1850 , which Btlitilatcs ) that neither should go beyond I'omar. It is now said that Franco nnd Sllaln have offered to acl as mediators , and that Italy and Belgium could also bo relied upon for this purpose It is fortunate that arbitrators can bo so easily had , as the dispute is a very old one aud by no means easy to settle. The English want all 'the region west of the Esscquibo which is drained by its tribu taries. Thcro are several of these smallct streams between that river and the Orl noco , and British dominion would be earned far toward the lattor. The bound' ary has never been determined , althougli It is nearly a century slnco the western part of Guiana passed from the hands ol the Dutch into those of the English. * * * The canal at Kiel opening a passage across Schlnswlg-ilolsteln between the Baltic and the North sea , which has jus been begun , nnd will be finished , it I : thought , in eight years , is ono of the great feats of engineering , like the Al pine tunels , and the Sueaud I'anam : canals , for which this century will bo for ever famous , it starts from the moult of the Elbe , end will end at Holtonau almost in the port of Kiel. It will savi the 33,000 trading vessels which pasi through the Kattegat and the Soum every year a detour of nearly 500 miles It strategic advantages to Germany wil bo hardly less important , for it will pro clvde the possibility of her fleet being cu in two in a war in which Denmaik waf in alliance with the enemy. The cana will put Kiel , the principal German ar senal iu the Baltic , in direct communica tion with the principal military post o the North sea , Wilhelmhafen. The entrance trance to the canal will bo fortitied u both ends. * * * The new Mahdl seems to bo a persoi quite open to ordinary arguments of s rational and logical character , since hi proposes to desist from making attack on the frontier , on the ground that thi action would prolong the English occu pation of Egyut. His predecessor wa apparently a Mnhdi of a rather dilfcren typo , since ho soenie'l to take counsel o religious rather than diplomatic considerations orations , and relied more on fanaticisn than iinesso. If the present prophet wil only maintain the prudent attitude whicl ho has kept for the most part , ever sinci his accession to power , it may not bi difficult for EnglamLor Egypt eventually to come to terms with him. It may b doubted whether hojcan long hold hi authority without continuing tnat carce of conquest which Mohammed Ahmci began. n V\ This year being Hid tercentenary of thi execution of Mar Queen of Scots , it i proposed to hold atiqctcrborough an his torical exhibition ofi portraits , rings , mis sals , ana all objects of interest connor-toi with that unfortunate ? queen. Thenxhibi tion will be opened on the 13th of Jul ; and closed on or abou' the ith of Aucusi so as to include the date of Queen Mary' , burial in PctorborcMfeh Cathedral. Th iqueen has given her patronage to the un dcrtaking , and the Dean of Potcrborougl is the president of an influential com mittce by whom the exhibition will b managed. * # * The governorship of Alsace-Lorraine which the late Field Marshal Mautouffe held so successfully , and which it hai been rumored the Prince Von Hohonloln would resign , is a little kingship byitsell The conquered provinces are called Ira perial Land , and the governor-general i appointed by the emperor , whom Voi Hohcnloho represents as proxy. In thii way the provinces are denied the fev liberties enjoyed by other North Gormai states. Strasburg is as populous n Omaha , and Metz and Mulhauscn an each half as largo. THE Washington correspondent of th Chicago Tribune recalls a romantic inci dent in conneetion with the election o William E. Chandler to the United State senate. Mr. Chandler married a daugli tor of the late John P. Hale , of Nov Hampshire , who was then a senator , ain afterwards minister to Sdain. When ,1 Wilkcs Booth was shot there was foum on him a picture of the daughter of th then Now Hampshire senator. Whotho Booth wits more tlun an admirer is no known. That ho was profoundly in : pressed by Miss Halo's accomplishment and beauty was well known ifl Washing ton at the time. This is romantic ii itself , but something still moro romanti was to fall to Miss Halo's lot. The so of tho" man whom Booth assassinaled- Uobort Todd Lincoln was President Ai thur's secretary of war. Mr. Chandlo : was secretary of the navy in the sam < cabinet. Official etiquette proscribes tha at state dinners nnd other ceremonial the secretary of war shall escort the wif of the secretary of the navy. Thus wn presented the singular fact of the so having on his arm the lady of whom hi father's usssasin thought most. Anotho peculiar thing is that in 13i. ( > Miss Hal and the daughter of'tho late Sccrotar. Zach Chandler , of tyichigan , wore giri together. Miss Cnatullor married Senn tor Halo , of Maine/and the secretary' ' daughter became a secretary's wife. Mis Halo married Mr. Clmt'ullcr and bccam the wife of a socrctac . So that durin the Arthur ailministt.ition the ladies iu only exchanged nambf , but also ofllciu rank. * COMPLAINT is made by reputable me chants against Fakirs and Peter Fun auctioneers who aru operating in Omah and imposing upon credulous peep ! without restraint , with all sorts of swim ling devices , Snide jewolry.brass watchi and other worthlass'Vwarcs ' nro sold L professional cheats under false pretense and scores of dupes are robbed of the hard earnings.

THK ambition of Chicago to reach tt third place iu point of population in tl country was recognized by the late leg ! lature , which passed a law making U annexation by largo cities of suburban villages and smaller cities comparatively simple. Under this enactment Chicago will doubtless absorb all the towns which nro now practically identified with ho city , ns Lake , Lake View nnd Hyde 'ark , nnd thus add nt least ,25,000 , to her popnlatlan. In 1830 , accord- ng tothucensus , Brooklyn , N. Y. , had 500,003 inhabitants and Chicago 503,185. The population to bo gained by Chicago n annexing the outlying towns would ilaco that city largely in advance of Brooklyn nnd thus assure it the third place iu the census of 1890. AFTKH a very lively contest , the Mich- gan legislature finally passed the local option law , which provides that thequcs- .ion of permitting the sale of liquor shall bo voted on whenever one-fifth of the voters of a county petition the super visors , and that the decision shall stand For three years before the question can bo again submitted. The bill was vigorously fought by the prohibitionists , and the success of the measure is ono of the recent signal defeats of that element. Michigan has learned the wls'lom of n license and local option policy in dealing with the liquor trafllc , nnd there must b n very great change in public sentiment there before that policy is abandoned. AXOTHKU "corner" which Is attracting attention is that in cotton , now being en gineered in this country nnd Great Brit ain. It is apprehended that disastrous consequences may result from this spec ulation. With the object of defeating the purpose of this corner , it is reported thai the Manchester Cotton Spinncrs'Iassocia' tion proposes to run all its spinning mill ! on short time. It Is estimated that 30,000- 000 spindles aroemnloyed spinning Amor1 lean cotton , and consequently inUiriouslj affected by the corner. Such a suspen sion would throw thousands of operatives out of work. WIIKN Mr. Powdorly was asked if h < would bo the candidate of the labor partj in 18S8 , ho replied : "No. most umplmtie ally , " and added , "nor the candidate ol any other party.

Arizona is not in the ellcto cast , yet according te the Omaha editorial objectors such ar ordinance should bo condemned a ! wicked , inconsistent and an infringement upon the rights of citizens. THE Omaha & Southwestern railroai has caused many people to build hopes high. So far the great southern enter prise exists only on paper. The talk o : the proposed route has amounted to con siderable , and it may bo that some com pauy will occupy the field , if the South wester * falls to materialize as now seems probable. BEN iiuTLun gives it out that whenever over an emergency occurs , he will ap pear before the public. Poets may smj and artists paint the praises of Mr. Wat torson's star-eyed goddess of reform , but for an all-round subject the Masachusott cock-eyed goddess of reform occupies the uppermost niche in the temple of sublimi impudence.

This country is largely made up of foreign-born nooplo , who came here to escape the rigorous rules and tyrannical oppression of moimrchtnl musters , expecting that in n republic , founded upon freedom , equity and jus tice , Qthoy would bo permitted nt least to enjoy nil rational pleasures of appetite and recreation. The arbitrary prohibitory laws and the Sunday blue laws are not only oppressive to the for eign clement , but they nro alike unen durable to the sensible nnd conservative men who by virluo of being born her cnll themselves Americans' . Periodically the strict observance of Sunday , after the old Puritanical style , ia insisted upon by a few fanatical loaders In n community. A disturbance of the pcacn of the community is sure to follow. Thu fanatics have the law on their side , simply because legislators havu followed in the same old rut and permitted the Puritanical blue laws to bo engrafted iu our statutes. But the great majority oi people neither endorse such laws nor favor their enforcement. They look upon them simply as dead letters. They arc , therefore , surprised periodically at attempts on the part of fanatics and would-be moral reformers I urn-bettor- than-thoti sort of men to have these laws enforced. New York City is now having ono of these semi-occasional Sunday observance * spurU. No liquor can be sold at all in that city on Sunday. It cannot even bu supplied to the guests of a hotel at the dinner table. Now if people drink wmo at their week-day dinners , why should thnv bo prevented from drinking it at their Sunday dinners ? Yet that is ex actly what the law in New York does. Will any sensible man say it is justice to cnfnico such a jaw ? In St. Louis even a moro strin gent Sunday observance is to be enforced , or at least an attempt is to be made in that direction. Under n law passed by the lust legislature of Mis souri nil saloons , beer gardens , bowling alloys , theaters and base ball parks must closo. This will simply shut off the amusement of thousands of honest work ing people who havu no time for inno cent enjoyment except on Sunday. It is on that day that they go upon picnics , witness base ball games , attend thu thca- aters , and visit tno beer gardens with their friends and families to bo enter tained by the choicest music. Isut the law says they must not do this any more. Yet this is u land of liberty I Lib erty of what ? The facts do not boar out the boast. Oh , Liberty , what tyranny is committed in thv name I * An incipient movement has bcon started in Omaha to enforce what is known as the Sunday law. Kvcn such nn enlightened state as Nebraska has upon its statute books a series of Sunday blue laws. In some respects reform measures in certain quarters ninjbo for the public good , but any attempt to close respectable resorts where people are en tertained with excellent music or oven theatrical performances will meet with a strong oppposition. A crusade is being also organized against Sunday base ball plaving by two oflicious clergymen. They should enlarge their field of action and make war upon those of their parish ioners who go driving on Sunday for pleasure solely. They should auatho- mize all bicycle riders. They should de mand the closing of all livery stables , lee cream parlors , soda water fountains , cigar stands , news stands , swimming baths , etc. , in conjunction with other resorts - sorts where Sunday pleasure seekers gofer for amusement and refreshment of body and mind. The question may bo asked why do not all these pleasure seekers , a largo majority of whom urn honest , sober and industrious workingmnu go to church on Sunday ? This is easily answered. Look around you nnd see how many working people attend church. Not one out of twenty. In these days the church does not seem intended for poor people. The pews are all sold to the highest bidden ) and the scats are owned by the wealthy. There iH no room left in church for the poor man. The modern church is the resort of the wealthy and fashionable. Modern religion is too costly tor the uoor mau.ci Yet certain fanatical clergymen dcslro to take away from the poor people the few sources of Sunday recreation that are left open to them. Shame on snch men. men.When a man cannot got a glass of beer or wine at a Sunday hotel dinner in Now York , when lie cannot indulge in refresh ments in Maine. Iowa or Kinsa : at any time without violating the law , when he cannot visit a beer garden or n base ball park in St. Louis or Omaha on Sunday without becoming a law-breaker , it must strike the average person that this is not a land of liberty. Ltst every man observe Sunday accord ing to his own desire , and so long os he conducts lumsulf in an orderly manner ho should not bo molested. Let Sunday alone. It will take care of itself. A. S.
