A similar convocation enjoys perpetual session in Omaha. IT costs the city from fifty cents to $1 per yard to move dirt by the street com- misslonor's gang. No wonder the gen eral fund will soon bo exhausted. TitKitB are two Colorowdies out in the centennial state ono is a swaggering In dian chief and the other a blustering chief cxocutivo by the name of Adams. Or course , Chief Seavey ia responsible for the starvation policy. If this city should be stricken by small-pox or the cholera Seavoy would bo held responsible by the combine organs. IT seems to us that oar school-manna and the youngsters can see the big squash , the three-logged calf , the dress parade , the sham battle and Colonel Cliuso in his plumed hat all on the same day. THE assignee of llenry S. Ires expects to have a statement , .etc. , ready in a few days. The statement pertaining to Ives , speedily desired , is from District Attor ney Martine in the words : "Gentlemen of the Jury , wo expect to prove that the present defendant is guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses , as chargce in the indictment. " CANADIAN newspapers are- doing a good deal of growling at Americans those days. Some of them want Ameri can whalers driyen from Hudson's bay ; others demand that our fishermen bo de prived of their salmon fishing rights in Canadian rivers ; and again others rec- commend that the Gloucester fishing Hohoonora be sunk. If our garrulous neighbor becomes too obstreperous wo may stop sending over superfluous Na poleons of finance , and what would Can ada do for ready monuy than T A itKPKitKNCE to this morning's tele graphic tidings of an anticipated expos ure of municipal rottenness , to supple ment the county bootllo prosecutions , in Chicago , will reveal in the closing uon- tcnco a thinly veiled thrust at Carter II. Harrison. Chicago's great ex-mayor is on route around the world , but that ho voyages as a fugitive from the impend ing claim of justice is news indeed. It was thought some time ago that ho had an appointment with the democratic convention of next year to complete the alliteration , "Hill and Harrison. " CHIEF SKAVKV is quoted as saying that ho would arrest any special policeman not duly appointed by the police com mission. Mr. Soavoy may or may not have made this declaration. It la imma terial so far as it involves the point at is sue , namely , the course of the council in making an insullicicnt levy for police purposes. Wo do not believe that Chief Seavoy will attempt to interfere with special policemen appointed by the mayor and council under the emergency clause of the charter. If ho does , it will bo in order to prefer charges against him before the commission. COMI-AHA.TIVE statistics of the pig iron production show the United States to oc cupy sccotul place , with all the condi tions favorable to attaining the load in a very short time. In 1873 the pig iron pro duction ot Great Uritain was nearly three times that of this country , while last year the difference in favor of the former was only a few thousand tons , and during the first quarter of the present year until the output was checked by the coku strike , the production of the United States was abreast with that of Great Urttain. Fourteen years ago the latter country produced 80 per cent as much pig iron as all other countries , while the United States produced 23 per cunt. In 1880 the ratio respectively was 53 and 43 ver cent , a material relative decline on the part of Great Uritain and a nota ble increase on that of the United States. In no other respect has this country made a more marked * progress , as com pared with other nations , and with the increase in productive capacity now under way , which is far in exooss of the efforts being made in the same line in any other part of the world , it is a ques tion of only a 'little time when this country will bo first iu the production of Pig Iron , Aft , . - . - , . A. Morn Favorable Outlook. The discouraging Indications at the first opening of bids for the sale of bonds to the sinking fund wore very generally regarded as foreshadowing the failure of this expedient of the secretary of the treasury for the double purpose of moot ing a requirement of the law and dispos ing of a part of the surplus. The fact that only about 3 per cent of the total issue of the bonds desired by the treasury was offered , and much the greater part of this sum at a price considerably above the market , seemed to urctty clearly demonstrate that the holders nf bonds wore not at nil anxious to dispose of them , even with the prospect of obtain ing a higher prlca than they could got in the open market at the date on which their offers were made. With regard also to the prepayment of Interest the first Indi cations wore decidedly unfavorable , though this had boun expected for rea sons that seemed conclusive. Subsequent results , however , have given the outlook a much less unfavor able aspect , and it now scorns very likely that the treasury will got alt the bonds required for the sinking fund at an aver age price a little below that paid for the first block accepted , and that the prepay ment of interest will amount to a gener ous sum , though it may not reach the full amount falling duo between now and the first of next January. The require ment for the sinking fund is about 120,000,000 , and nearly or quite one-third of that amount has been olio red and accepted. On this the government saving of interest will be vr.ry considerable , The holders of the bonds having become satisfied that there is "no chance to speculate on the treasury In this matter , since its necessities are not such as to compel it to buy bonds at any price the holders may be pleased to ask , it is not impossible that all the bonds wanted will bo secured within the next thirty days or sooner. It would not bo surprising indeed if the treasury sud denly became flooded with oilers to soli , an experience that would certainly hap- pnn if during a continuance of the treas ury proposal there should come a severe tightening of the money market. The probability is that the meas ures of the secretary of the treas ury will bo successful to the extent at least of liberating $35,000,000 of the surplus before the meet ing of congress. This sum will undoubt edly bo a material help to the money market , and something will bo gained also by the confidence which the success of the treasury measures will have in spired. If there is anything unfortunate to be feared from this it is the danger of its misleading congress into a belief that the dangers attendant upon a largo sur plus have boon exaggerated , and giving the advocates of continued taxation an argument for widening the authority of the treasury for disposing of tho.surplus. Nothing is more certain than that those who are hostile to any intcrfercnco with the tariff will take advantage of every fact , circumstance or pretext that can bo made available to defeat any effort to cut off or reduce duties , and if anything can bo found in what the treasury is doing to help their cause it will bo made use of. Meanwhile the government is receiving from $12,000,000 to $ 15,000,000 a month in excess of expenditures , and if it should part with all the surplus hoped to bo disposed of by the purchase of bonds and the prepayment of interest will still have at the close of the current year a very largo sum on hand. Governor Adam * and General Crook. Goycrnor Adams , of Colorado , has suddenly achieved national notoriety , lie has lost his head completely by the turbulence of a handful of Indians , and exhibits a wonderful capacity for bluster and stupid insolence. Ills telegraphic correspondence with General Crook cer tainly caps the climax of impertinence and ignorance of the laws which every governor ought to know without con sulting his legal advisor. Every governor ought to know enough to know that the power of the regular army cannot bo legally invoked by the civil authorities of any state for the enforcement of law and maintenance of order until all the powers of the state have been exhausted in the effort to suppress turbulence , not or in surrection. And Governor Adams ought to have known that an appeal for federal troops must lirst bo made to the president in duo form , certifying to the fact that the civil otlicors and state militia are incap able of coping with the outlaws. That provision refers to bands of Indian dep redators just as much as it docs to bauds of highwaymen , or organized rioters. The governor of Colorado blundered when ho ignored the president of the United States by appealing directly to General Crook for troops , He blundered by ignoring General Merritt , who is in command of the division , to whom ho should have addressed himself if the danger was so imminent as to require troops to hold themselves in readiness on the Colorado border to await orders from the president. In response to the blundering appeal for troops , General Crook courteously informed the Colorado Bombostcs that ho bad forwarded the same to higher authority for instruction and while holding himself and his troops ready to move at a moment's notice inci dentally called attention to the fact that troops cannot bo used to assist state au thorities iu execution of civil process without orders from the president. This ought to have been enough to set Gov ernor Adams right , but he turns Colorowdy and pitches into Gaucral Crook as if ho was his body servant or adjutant. Ho insolently lectures General Crook on his duties and recites the In dian outbreaks of eight years ago when Colorado was a mere mining camp and the state had barely boon organized. He winds ) up bis tirade as follows : "Your immediate intervention would induce the Indians to return to their reservation and we think you should force them to go at once and return no more. " This is decidedly cool. How does the governor of Colorado expect General Crook to move against the Dtos without orders from army headquarters at Washington ? The Indiana on the Ute reservation are under the control of the Indian bureau , and those that are off tbo reservation are marauders that can be hunted down by the Colorado militia. Why should Crook be abused for refus ing to violate array regulations and lay himself liable to severe discipline for interfering ia the civil affairs of a state ? At this distance the groat' Indian war iu Colorado appears to be a tempest In a teapot , and that is also tlieoplnion.of the loading paper of that stnto , the Denver Republican , which makes the following comment : The Republican has bollovM from the first that the danger of an Indian outbreak In western Colorado has been very much ex aggerated. Colorow and a few of his braves have anuoycd the settlers between the White and the Grand rivers every summer since the Utcs were removed to Utah , by re turning to their old hunting grounds In Col orado. Hut they have committed no very serious depredations and the general govern ment could have very readily forced them to return to Utah had It sent a company of trooos out after them. Colorow Is a bad In dian , but It Is a mistake to suppose that he Is spoiling for a fight. Jt Is possible that there maybe a protracted struggle with the Utes before they shall be finally driven back to their reservation , but wo do not believe It , For this reason we are of the opinion that Governor Adams has acted hastily In ordering four companies of cavalry Into the field. It would have been quite sufficient to send a company from Leadvlllo and ono from Asoen to Ken dall's assistance , If It bo true that ho needs assistance. As wo view It there was no need of shipping troops and horses from Denver and Colorado Springs , the expense of which will bo considerable. It would have been much more sensible to send arms and ammunition to the ranchers and cowboys , who are niucli more competent to use them effectively than green cavalry. PUESIOKNT CLEVELAND has been de prived of the opportunity to act as an arbitrator in the boundary controversy between Costa Rica ana Nicaragua , those two governments having wisely con cluded to settle the trouble in a friendly way without calling in outside counsel. Hut another chance may bo presented to Mr. Cleveland in the dispute between Venezuela and Great Dntain , in which the latter claims a largo slice of territory which the former docs not think her entitled to. A portion of this territory has already been taken possession of by the British , and the Venezuelan govern ment Is contemplating a hostile move ment to recover it. The president of the South American republic has arrived in the United States , and it Is inferred from his talk that his mission has reference to securing the intervention or mediation of this gov ernment. It is an old controversy re cently renewed , with an evident deter mination on the part ot Great Britain to push it to a conclusion after her usual method in such matters. Q It is not clear that it is a case to which the Monroe doctrine would apply , though perhaps that doctrine is capable of any degree of expansion , and as England demos the right of arbitration this government would probably not bo disposed to ex tend its good oflices bnyond the limit of persuasion. "GiVE the children nnd teachers a chance for recreation , " says ono of our unthinkingcontpmpararles with reference to the postponement of the school term. Have the teachers and children not had recreation enough during two months' vacation ? Do the teachers , who are on their way homo from pleasure tours in Europe , and the American and Canadian summer rcrorts , want a rest from tlieir arduous labors ? Would tlio teachers vote to forego ono week's pay if that was the condition on which the fall term was to bo set back ono weeKV Will not one day sufllco for satisfying their anxiety to visit the soldiers' camp and inspect the cabbages , pumpkins and prize-pigs at the fairgrounds. Ono would think that the poor teachers had been worked to death during the last six weeks , and wore in a condition of physical and men tal debility bordering on prostration. As for the children , everybody knows that they are in for all the fun and frolic they can get , but we doubt very much whether it is wise or prudent to allow children the freedom of the city when they arc exposed to the risk of being in jured by mingling with great crowds of people. This sentimental effort to pro vide recreation and amusement for the children and their teachers is liable to bo overdone. SOSIK of our public works inspectors are more anxious to please the contrac tors than to servo their employer. Other Lands Than Oars. The victory of a Ghulstouian candidate in the Northwich division of Cheshire , which had been a hotbed of 'conserv atism , is another conspicuous cvidonco of the drift of the popular tide iu England. The last previous election in the district resulted in a conservative majority of CGI , whereas the liberal candidate in the Into election recelvad a majority of 1,129 , a gain of 1,357 votes. The defeated can didate is Lord Henry Grosvenor , son of the powerful Duke of Westminster , whoso dominion over the people of that locality is well nigh as supreme as that of a feudal baron over his subjects. The duke made every effort to secure the success of his son , but so strong is the undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the party in control of the gov ernment that oven the powerful influence of the richest nobleman and most extensive landlord in the kingdom was unavailing against it. The import ance and significance of this result are fully realized by all parties , and Mr. Gladstone has not failed to give public evidence of his great appreciation of it , both on political and personal grounds. The tide that has sot In favor of the lib eral party seems certain to grow in strength as the campaign advances. In the house of commons the announcement has been made that the government will abandon a number of projected meas ures , among them the Irish constabulary bill. The issue between the lords and commons on the land bill Is the fact of chief interest , and the unwillingness of the house to concede every thing has been manifested in the rejection of several amendments. Those most objectionable to the Irish loaders , however , have not failed. . " . It seems evident from the latest Rus sian advices that the career of Prince Ferdinand is not to bo a peaceful ono in Bulgaria , and that it is only a question of a very little time when the little state will again bo the scene of the most inter esting ovenU iu Europe. The Russian fooling regarding Ferdinand Is that ho is simply an adventurer , and that his pres ent proceeding is an usurpation not to bo tolerated. Obviously the young man has made a very serious mistake and put Bulgaria m a situation that may have very ugly consequences for her. It Is in credible that oven Ferdinand , immature and rash though ho bo , can have any idea that ho will be able to make Bulgaria , free and independent by force 'of arms , while the interacts of two of tbo great powers nro Jo deeply Involved in the Balkan supromuy , oven If the treaty nf Berlin did not exist. It is incred ible that ho ortlioso who connsol him should believe that Bulgaria , although she wore joined hud uphold by all her quarrelsome little neighbor states , would bo able to hold her own as an Independ ent kingdom. Of. course Ferdinand nnd the Bulgarians oxpuot their causu will bo espoused by ono'or moro of the great powers , which Is the point wherein the danger of the rest of Europe lies. But oven in this event Ferdinand runs n risk of dlsgraco , because the ether powers cannot chammon him without violating the treaty , to whoso provisions all hold each ether to account. That treaty ex pressly stipulates that "tho 1'rlnco of Bulgaria shall be freely elected by the population , and confirmed by the Sub lime Porto with the assent of the pow ers. " Ferdinand has not boon confir mod by Turkey , and the other powers will not assent to his confirmation , even If Tur key wore Inclined to ratify his action. 4 f * The progress of the Germans In East Africa is n most interesting contribution to tlio cntorpriso of the asjo. For three yours the Gorman East African society has been quietly but vigorously prosecut ing Its work , making treaties with native chiefs , building stone stations , starting experimental farms , and conducting sci entific inquiries. The Gorman flag now floats over fourteen white stations , and a district twice as largo as Prussia to-day admits'tho sovereignty of Emperor William liamThcso Germans have in view a broadly conceived and clearly dolinod plan , whoso practicability it is their pur pose to test thoroughly. It is their belief that largo plantations for the culture of cotton , tobacco , rice and other products may be developed on these uplands with the aid of native labor , and that when means of communication with the coast have been perfected a largo amount of capital may find profitable employment , All their stations are scenes of agricul tural activity and training schools for native workmen. About COO acres are in crops , practical farmers and gardeners are experimenting with all the tropical and European grains and vogetiblcs.fruits and nuts , the stables are filled with cattle , goats , asses , and fowls , and snvor.il hun dreds of workmen , whoso native systems of irrigation and many herds aud Holds show that they are not wholly lacking in skill and industry , are being trained in white methods of manual labor. Thus the German East African society is striv ing to open now fields foe. homo enter prise , to instruct nnd elevate the natives , and it is not without hope that some portions tions of Its domain may provo to bo adapted to the needs of German colonists. Several weeks ago Dr. Peters left Ger many with a small party of colonists for the East African stations. The experi ment will bo watched with interest , but there is no reasonto believe the results will particularly encourage white im migration. It is ruprc ! probable that com paratively a few white people are adapted to live many years in equatorial Africa , and that progress there must bo largely tjio result of native ( development , wisely fostered by the introduction of good gov ernment and the influence of commerce and instruction. * * The objection of Franco to the Anglo- Turkish convention relating to Egypt is for the same reasons that England insists upon it. England contemplates the ulti mate possession of Egypt as the best means of protecting its canal route to India and of strengthening its grip on the Mediterranean. France has interests iu India also , and , being a Mediterranean state , it cannot view British encroach ments m that quarter without alarm. With Franco and Russia protesting against the Anglo-Turkish agreement and both threatening war , the solution of the trouble rests , where so many ether disputes have to be carried nowadays , with Herr Bismarck. Franco will not trouble itself with the eastern question it things are not in a good condition at homo , and Russia's bluster as to Egypt Is nothing moro than an attempt to gam concessions for itself elsewhere. The isolation of Franco is never so conspicu ous and so humiliating as when it seeks to assert itself abroad. * * Holland , left to her own defense single- handed against Germany would bo easily overwhelmed , but the kingdom is not without moans of resistance. Holland's homo force consists of 43,879 infantry , including officers-and men ; 14,833 ar tillery , and 4,130 cavalry. Miscellaneous troops make up an aggregate of CT > ,5G8 for the permanent army. In the East Indies she has about half as many moro troops , but every man of them would bo needed there for defending her colonies in a war with a maritime power ; besides , moro than half of the East Indian troops are natives. But what she could addi tionally rely upon for homo defense is her militia , of which the active portion tion comprises 38,188 men and the reserve 77,103. Adding these to the standing army , wo get an aggregate of 180,85'J enrolled forces , which is not an amount to bo slighted , and creditable to population , all told , January 1 , 1BSO , of only 4,330,013. And still further addi tions could bo rclfpd upon from the un- enrolled male population of the arms- bearing ago. Holland's sea forces make a respectable show of about 140 vessels of various sorts"among which are 23 ironclad monitors or gunboats , the latter being suited to hoi' river nnd canal ser vice. Six of her turret ships wore built in England , ono iu , Franco , and the re mainder at Ams'tordura or Fijonoord. She has also many unarmored gunboats and torpedo boats. In a contest , however - over , with Germany armies would decide her fato. j * # The military situation of Belgium con tinues a matter of' ' 'interest , which is in creased by the moro threatening aspect of European affairs. The patriotic address - dross of the king a few days ago , on the occasion of the unveiling of the two statues of the Flemish patriots , was regarded - gardod as significant and has made a strong impression throughout Europe. It clearly indicated a conviction that in the threatened European adjustments the little kingdom is in danger , aud that her only hope ot preserving her existence is in the possession of ample means of de fense , It is impossible that the appeal of the king should fail of effect. It is safe to predict that the compulsory military bill will bo passed , and then both Bel gium and Holland , like their neighbors , will soon bristle with bayonets. Aud so another part of tbo prologue is played to the great drama which may anon shako Europe , to its center as It has not been shaken snico. the time of the great Nape leon. % Cholera is always to bo found In India , whore the mortality from this cause in 1855 was about 500,000 , but the discaso usually does its work for the most part in the district extending 200 miles on each side of Calcutta and northward to the slopes of the Himalayas. It is surprising , therefore , that it should have slain 70,000 persons In the northwest provinces duridg Juno and July. The disease ap pears to have been especially virulent in the olty of Pcshawur , on the frontier , from which the British are building a railroad into northeastern Afghanistan. The plague scorns to bo separated from tha advancing Russians only by the Ilindii-Koosh mountains. Possibly ono result of Russian conquest in Central Asia will bo the Introduction of cholera into southern Russia by way of ( ho trans- Caspian line , as French aggression in Tonquin brought the same terrible plague to Toulon and Marseilles. . * For some yeara the sufferings of the people who live on tlio coast of Labrador have boon severe. Even when the sea sons are favorable the struggle to sustain Hto there Is a hard ono. The Inhabitants are sufllciontly Intelligent nnd indus trious to make their way in a moro hos pitable climate. Why do they cheese to remain In thu ice ? Recent reports say that hundreds of families would now abandon that dreary caast forever if they could got away. The Dominion of Canada should supply means for their transpor tation. And if there bo others who desire - sire to stay they should be convinced that it Is folly to waste human effort in such a region , while millions of acres of good land in lower latitudes are open to thorn.
