A Government Telegraph.
Senator KdraUnds is reported to hnvo
said that ho will again bring forward
ils bill for the establishment of a gov
ernment telegraph and press It. Thh
: neasuro provides for the construction of
independent lines by the government
Between the larger cities at the outset ,
the system to bo gradually extended
over the country. The senator expresses -
presses himself as believing more
strongly than over that a postal tele
graph hns become a necessity and that
.ho subject should receive the imme
diate attention of congress.Vitli the
earnest interest ho has shown in the
matter hitherto , strengthened by re
cent circumstances , it may bo expected
.hat he will make a vigorous effort to
secure action on his bill. lie will tin-
loubtcdly find such an effort supported
> yn more general popular interest and
'avor than ever boforo.
The liKK printed u short time ago
several letters from its London corres-
) ondcnt relating to the postal telegraph
system of England which wore very
conclusive as to the merits of the sys-
om in that country. The British gov-
srnmont has controlled the telegraph
linco 1870 , having purchased the lines
sxibting at that limo at n valuation do-
crmincd by an impartial jury , The
Bystem is run not with a view to rcvc-
nio , but as our mail service is con
ducted , for the accommodation of the
people , yet for several years past the
olegraph in England has yielded
n revenue to the government amounting
o a considerable sum. Nowhere else
s telegraphing so cheap as in England
ind nowhere else is it so generally om-
iloycd by the people , as shown by the
'act that while the United States has
icarly five times as many miles of line
ind moro than double the population wo
lo not bond twice aa many messages in
bin country.
The importance of this subject is un-
loubtcdly moro clearly seen by the poo-
ilo than ever before , and it is not un-
ikoly that congress will liavo u strong
H-os-iuro brought to bear upon it for ac
tion favorable toagovornmonttolograph
tystom. The matter is one , however , to
> o considered with great care. There is
nero than one side to it , and every
[ ) haso of the question should receive
iiationt attention.
A Defunct Statesman.
Since the very remarkable and unex
pected decision of the supreme court ,
resting so much authority in the state
board of transportation , there havoboon
iiumorous gentlemen in Nebraska to
jlaim the honor of conceiving the rail
road hill. Among all the claimants of
the high and distinctive honor there are
tone so braxon as the editor of a
Schuyler paper , who insists that the
dashing Colonel Russell , of judiciary
committee fame , was the parent and
guardian of the now law.
The people of the state who rcmcm-
) or the deplorably wretched record
made by the Colfax county statesman
will bo excused for any outburst of
mirth upon reading the chilling irony
in Russell's claim. To add to his grim
[ ilcasantry , it appears that Russell is
liimsolf the inspiration of the two-col
umn article which attempts to cover
other people with calumny , and white
wash the judiciary committccman with
enviable neatness and dispatch.
It was a rather sad circum
stance for boodlors that the
liisu exposed some of the
attempted villainies of members of the
last legislature. Yet it is a remarkable
thing , that after being "vindicated"
i dozen times , the same persons con
tinue to insist that they were always
lionost and innocent.
Yet there is no use to attempt the re
suscitation of a political corpse so long
dead. Lot Mr. Russell and his departed
glory rest in peace.
Senator Evarts is among those who do
not regard the late republican defeat in
New York as placing that state inevi
tably in tlio democratic column , lie
does not sec in a democratic plurality of
fifteen thousand an insurmountable ob
stacle. On the contrary ho expresses
the belief that if the national republi
can cotnention nominates the right
man , nnd the party in New York is
properly organi/od and works harmoni
ously , itill have a very good fighting
I'hance there. Unquestionably the odds
are somewhat against it as the situation
now appears but there are good reasons
\\\\y \ every republican in Now York
should share in the feeling of Senator
llvarts.
A great many things must happen bo-
twcon now and next November , and it
\\illbo \ very remarkable if the democratic
party does not do something to weaken
its claim to popular confidence oven in
its strongholds. So far as New York is
concerned the democracy will un
doubtedly concentrate there during the
next twelve months all their energy
nnd all the political devices for making
the party stronger of which they are
capable. That party curUiinly oujojs
an advantage in having both the state
nnd national administrations to draw
upon at sight. The party was har
monized by victory , if it was not so
boforo. 15ut with all this republicans
should by no means take It for granted
that Now York will inevitably go demo
cratic next year , and under the dis
couraging inlluonco of this feeling sit
supinely down and abandon the ne.ccs-
wiry oITort to prevent the result.
It is evident , however , that in order
that the republicans may have oven a
fighting chance in Now York next year ,
whoever the national leader shall bo ,
they must put thonmolros under a dif
ferent leadership than that of the late
campaign. The very first stop neces
sary for them to take , and a stop which
they cannot take too soon , is to depose
Thomas C. Plntt from his self-appointed
position as the party leader und devolve
that duty upon some one whoso political
character and methods will not drive
moro men of independent tendencies in
politics away from the party. Platte is
now said to bo scheming with reference
to the organization of the state senate ,
having in viowof course only his own nol-
Hill intercut in thixt matter. This will
afford the republicans an opportunity to
sit down upon htm , and it should be
doho with , a thud thltt he and htofrlemlt
could not mistake the meaning o'l , Mr ,
Plntt Is the evil genius of New York re
publican Ism. Ho Is not Iocs objection
able as an unscrupulous machine poli
tician than Gorman , the Maryland
democratic boss. If the republicans of
Now York cannot or will not drive him
from loadorshlp that stale can safely bo
counted on for the democracy next year.
If , however , they promptly and effec
tually accomplish this act of self-purifi
cation the republican cause in New
York will hot bo hopeless.
Continued OutrngcH.
The dry land pirates , who are sold to
pall with letters of mat-quo issued by the
13. ft M. railroad , and who cull them
selves the Lincoln Town Site company ,
continue their depredations through
out this state. Just why this company
of wreckers should bo allowed to pro
ceed In its reckless course is a matter
exciting comment among those familiar
with the character of its work.
For years this band has conceived and
executed its wilful and malicious plots
with high-handed impudence. The
people have , in every instance , tamely
submitted to its outrages. Its policy has
been to locate a now town site within
a mile or two of tin established town
and it has often been openly assorted
that the B. & M. railroad would favor
the now place by building its depot
there and altogether ignoring the
town first platted and settled.
The last , and perhaps the most daring
of all former atrocities alleged to have
been committed by this land company
was the attempt to remove the county
seat of Frontier county from Stockvlllo
to Curtis the latter town site being
owned by the Lincoln Land company.
It is claimed that the B. & M. rnil'-
road , in collusion with the league of
wreckers , sent large numbers of its
workmen nnd illegally voted them to
accomplish the result of making Curtis
the county scat.
If the stories are true , and they come
reasonably well founded , it is altogether
probable that the courts will bo called
upon to determine whether or not the
B. & M. railroad company and its
henchman own tho-entiro state of Neb
raska , or whether its charter and right-
of-way gives to it only the territory tra
versed by its road.
TWO-THIRDS of Omaha is without po
lice protection , and must continue to bo
BO long as the starvation policy of the
city council is maintained. Under the
circumstances it is astonishing that the
criminal record has not been larger , but
the fact of the invitation to lawlessness
not having been more freely accepted
can not bo expected to continue if the
community is much longer left without
sufficient police protection. The coming
on of cold weather will draw from their
lairs the footpad and the burglar , and
the favorable field in Omaha will at
tract the criminal class from other lo
calities. It would bo a mistake to at
tempt to conceal by silence the unfor
tunate character of our situation , for
those who will profit by it are
not ignorant of it. There prob
ably is not in the history of
any other community in the country a
parallel instance of the representatives
of the people persistently refusing for
months to give them adequate police
protection , and offering to the world
of criminals an almost free field for
their operations.
IT is to bo hoped the committee of the
board of trade especially charged with
the duty of promoting manufacturing
industries in Omaha is giving close at
tention to that important trust. There
might bo a great deal done durfng the
winter months to advertise the advan
tages of Omaha ns a manufacturing cen
ter. In the competition for industrial
enterprises this city cannot hope to get
its share without making some ofiort.
THE iomowhat exhausted expression
to the effect that a solid growth beats a
boom , was never moro strikingly illus
trated than here in Omaha. There is
more real satisfaction in viewing the
seven and eight story building , such as
hnvo gone up on Parham street , than in
reading about what "is to happen. "

Oilier IjiiutlH Than Ours.
The advice of Mr. Gladstone to the
radical clubs of London to abstain from
violent resistance to the order of the
authorities closing Trafalgar square to
public meetings , supplemented by simi
lar coiufsol from other prominent lib
erals , had the effect , unquestionably , of
preventing serious disturbances in Lon
don during the present week. The cle
ment that insisted upon the right to as
semble in the square was fully prepared
to resort to \ ioloneo , and had Gladstone
and the others counseled in less con
servative terms , or declined to give
any advice , the authorities would certainly -
tainly have encountered the most
troublesome and disastrous popular
outbre'ak London has known in many
years. Nor has the dilllculty yet
wholly passed. The radicals have not
surrendered , but simply agreed to a
truce. It in apprehended that Sunday
may witness a very determined effort to
take possession of the sqimro , but the
truce has enabled the authorities to
make bolter preparation for resistance ,
nnd an army of special constables will
aid the police in carrying out the de
crees of the authorities. To what extent -
tent this extraordinary measure of precaution -
caution may servo to overawe the dis
satisfied populace remains to bo seen ,
but the demand of the hungry thou
sands of London cannot bo wholly si
lenced while they are permitted to live
to make it heard , and if not raised in
Trafalgar square it will bo expressed
olsowhoro. And that expression
will not bo less intense
nnd bitter because it must be
made in some other quarters of London.
Whether it shall take a moro serious
form than words may depend upon the
extent to which the authorities carry
their e.xas > poratin { ? measure ! of re
pression.

The attention of all Franco continues
to bo absorbed by th * decoration scan
dal , which the more it is examined into
the larger It grows. Proofs of corrup
tion on a great scale against Wilson
accumulated to such an extent that tlio
chambers have finally decided almost
unanimously to prosecute him. Wilson
seems to have peon any number of
"channels in which ho might boHC -
ful" to n considerable number of people ,
and to hnvo oxaetod very high rates of
remuneration. Ills case is mainly in
teresting , however , for its probable
effect on President Grovy. The re
ports as to Ills intentions in cn o
Wilson is prosecuted have varied from
dny to day , the last being that como
what might bo would not resign. Tlio
determination to prosceuto may again
enu.o him to change Ills mind. Both
the radicals and monarchists are intent
on using tlio WilsonalTaii'todrivoGrovy
out , each hoping to bo able to play its
own game in tlio confusion which would
follow. Besides this , however , the
olTcct of the affair on European politics
is considerable. Tlio revelations virtu
ally condemn Franco to a peaceful pol
icy for a good while to come. No one
would venture to go to war without
knowing to what extent the corruption
at the war office had permeated the
army , or without fearing that the firfet
victory would glvo Franco a military
master. This situation of course leaves
Russia at the mercy of the Triple Alli-
nnco , and insures to Bulgaria the lib
erty of doing ns eho pleases.

The further advance of Russia toward
Herat is not the least interesting fact
in tlio European situation. Recent ad
vices slate that a largo number of Rus
sian merchants , believed to bo omlssa-
rica of the government , had entered
this province , which is the key to India ,
while a largo Russian force was scour
ing the northern frontier of the pro
vince collecting information about the
country. Four years ago the Russians
took possession of Merv , the gate to
Herat , and their method of procedure
was similar to that they are now pursu
ing. As a first Armenian traders were
located at Merv to bring about friendly
relations between the inhabitants and
the Russians. Later on Russian bazaars
wore opened , and stop by stop Rus
sian influence was increased. Finally
in 1884 the Russian forces , which had
been brought out ostensibly for a mere
reconnoitre of the outskirts of the Morv
oasis , were assembled on the Turkestan
and Transcaspian sides of Mcrv , and
the people were given their choice of
asking the protection of Russia , by a
subterfuge , or being compelled to sub
mit to the forcible occupation of their
city. They chose the former alternative.
Merv is 240 miles from Herat. General
Sir Charles MacGregor , who penetrated
to within a few miles of Herat in 1875 ,
wild that lie would undertake to drive a
mail coach from Mcrv to that city.
Hence the danger to English interests.
The Russian merchants who arrived in
Herat a month ago may bo there for the
bole purpose of opening the way for the
army advancing down the Hari Rud and
Murghab rivers from , Morv and Sa-
rakhs , and England may leurn at any
time that the Russians have occupied
Herat , lib unexpectedly ns she was in
formed four years ago of the occupation
of Merv. Herat is a fortified city aud
capable of some resistance , but if Rus
sia once takes possession of this point ,
with the fertile oasis it composes in the
in the Afghan desert , she holds the key
to India.

The supposition that the Italian expe
dition to Africa is one of conquest and
occupation does not appear credible in
view of Italy's financial condition , for
buch n policy would necessitate an enor
mous outlay. The present expenditures
of Italy for military purposes are greater
in proportion to her resources than
thobo of any other nation in Europe ex
cept Russia. Her total expenditures for
her army and navy averages So1,000,000 ,
which is enormous whcu compared with
her revenue. That such an expendi
ture was wholly disproportionate lo her
resources is clearly .shown by a
comparison of the ratio of Italian taxa
tion to income , the rate being , in 18SO ,
[ "l. ; > .r ) per cent , while in Great Britain it
was only 11.88 per cent , in Franco 17.-17
and in Russia 10.1 ! ) . This ratio , too ,
had been btoudily increasing , as it was
8.03 per cent greater in 18SO than in
1870. With faiich a financial situation it
would Beem little t-hort of national
bankruptcy to undertake the conquest
of a portion of Africa , where the Italian
process will be contested by enemies so
obstinate and so adroit as the Abyssini-
ans. There cannot bo sulHciont com
mercial advantages to be gained to
compensate for the cost of such a war.

Dispatches from India say that the
governor general's recent journey along
the northern frontier of that country
was undertaken with special reference
to the project of building a railroad
from Kurrachco to the upper provinces.
It is believed in India that the construc
tion of such a road would enable pro
ducers to place Indian wheat in London
at Is per quarter less than the present
price. This ib a matter of interest to
wheat growers in the United States. An
other statement which deserves their at-
lenlion is one made by Iho Austrian
consul general at Venice in a report to
his government concerning the rapid
increase of Italy's wheat imports. The
greater part of tliifa imported wheat
comes from India. Ho says : "The
Indian wheat is the best , ( as compared
with that of Russia and other exporting
countries , ) and produces the highest
quality of Hour. It is so cheap that coin-
potion by European producers is out of
the question. " Heretofore it has been
wild that thogrowth of the Indian wheat
industry was impeded by the poor
quality of the grain. It is reasonable
to suppose that the quality will improve
and that the supply will increase.

The report of the Gorman factory inspectors
specters for the year 18SO deals specially
with questions arielng from the employ
ment of women. It had boon charged
by the socialists and others that the
proportion of female labor was increas
ing , and that its prevalence was injur
ious to health und morals. The inspect
ors are disposed to deny the truth of
both tho-iO charges. In the majority of
districts the proportion of female labor
has remained practically unchanged lor
a long series of years ; in the majority
of employments no distinctly injurious
effects are reported. The most de
moralizing employments are those in
which gangs of men and women are em
ployed in a half-nonmdto life. Of the
moro settled employments , cigar-making
is probably the worst. The Gorman inspectors
specters glvo very unfavorable reports
from cotton-spinning In certain districts.
The general proportion of female labor
hi Germany is not far from the same as
in the United States. The agricultu
ral districts of Germany , as might bo
expected , show a much larger proportion
tion than similar districts in the United
States. Individual industries also show
a higher percentage of female labor in
Germany than with us. Thus the per
centage in the toxtllo mills of the Black
Forest district is 73 , while in Rouss , a
small principality south of Lcipslc , it
actually rises as high as 00. Wo know
of nothing nt all approaching this in the
United States , on the other hand , the
American figures are worse that ! the
Gorman in showing a decided increase
in the proportion of female labor in re
cent years.

The announcement that the Imperial
bank of Germany has refused to lend
money on Russian securities will prob
ably make the peaceful war which has
boon waged for a year or more between
the two countries assume a now phase.
If Russia finds that it cannot secure suf
ficient money in the European financial
centers without the aid of Germany , the
Russian tariff discriminations against
the kaiser's domain will undoubtedly bo
lessoned. But if , on the other hand ,
Germany's help is not deemed essential ,
the Muscovite commercial restrictions
against the Teuton arc likely to bo fur
ther Increased.

Rich am I , If I can see

If the lark that Hinirs aloud
On the fringes of the cloud ,
Scatters tnoit 1ios around
Fresh as rulndiops on the ground ,
And J bless the happy bird
For the joy it has conferred.
