That a city physician * is needed there is no doubtbut just why j ; the salary should be more than doubled is something the taxpayers would like to know. It is about time to call u halt on the unwarranted increase of tax- l"v caters by the eity council. GOVKUNON HULICK , of Arizona , is charged by opponents who wish to have him removed , with a long list of sins of commission and omission. Whether thobc charges are true or untrue it will not be an easy matter to dislodge Mr. Zulick. Ho is a protcgo of Senator MtiPliorsonof Now Jersey , who is noted 8 for Ills bulldog tenacity in staying by his friends. THE longest and most memorable con test for the speakorship of the house of representatives resulted in the election of Nathaniel P. Banks , February 2 , 1850 , on the 133d ballot. The surviving representatives who voted for him pro pose to hold a reunion at Washington on February 1 , at Which General Banks himself will preside. The survivors are few , and John Sherman and Justin S. Merrill are almost the only members of the Thirty-fourth congress who are still active in public affairs. Among the survivors is Aaron II. Cragin of New Hampshire , Galusha A. Grow of - Pcun- sylynnia , and William Cumback of Indiana. The reunion will doubtless be a most interesting occasion. THE seismic dihturbanccs felt at a number of points in the south on Thurs day must have been most uncomfortable reminders of the visitation which brought such disaster to Charleston in the summer of 188(1 ( and was more or less calamitous elsewhere. These latest dis turbances were not more severe than several that liavo been felt in the same localties within the past pear , and are not to bo regarded as necessarily pre monitions of any serious shocks to follow. It is remembered , however , that some reputable seismologist not more than a year ago predicted unusual disturbances in the earth's Interior about this time or a little later , though if wo remember rightly ho did not expect them to bo Hovoru on this continent. TIIK report of the board of managers ftf the National homo for disabled sol diers shows that these retreats of dis abled and impoverished veterans are now filled to their utmost capacity. The report states further that if the govern ment intends to care for all disabled soldiers it will be necessary to materi ally enlarge the exibtiug accommoda tions. There should bo no niggardli ness in this direction. Union veterans who are incapable of earning a liveli hood should bo cared for during their few remaining years. The country will cheerfully boar any additional burden to keep its gallant defenders from want and mibcry in their old ago. IT appears that until now the judges of the supreme court of Wisconsin have enjoyed the privilege of riding free on the railroads , but owing to the noise intulc about it by the meddlesome newspaper men these functional-let have reluctantly decided not to accop ! any more pastes. The whole judicial establishment of Wisconsin , oven dowi to justice court ofllciuls , is said to have been under obligations to the railroad ; for free passes , and if the railroads have not done about as they pleased in thai ptuto they have been careless of theli opportunity. It is to be hoped there i LJ- no mibtako about the statement tha p , ' . this pernicious custom has been done j * away with. The impartiality of Wis cousin judges will bo much bettor as eurcd , whore railroad interests tire in volved , If there are no free pusses con fronting their conscience. . ' Zeal ' Mr. Chandler's , It IB not altogether 'certain that'tho zeal of Mr. William K. Chandler in be half of the colored voter In the south will bo as forvlccablo to the republican parly nq ho doubtless desires and px- pects it to bo. For wo assume that his t-olicitudo in this matter is intended as a republican protest , to which he would commit the whole party , npninst what- over'denial of their political rights the colored voters of the south BUlIer from , and not altogether an olTort on the part of Mr. Chandler to promote his claims to recognition , If not to leadership. Wo arc not blind to the fact that the new senator from Now Hampshire likes to bo known , and that ho aspires to bo in the front rank , if not at the very head of the column. But wo are dispos-pd te give him credit in this matter for a sincere belief that it is the present ? and immediate duty of the republican parly to press the issue of colored suffrage in the south. It cannot bo fairly questioned that in portions of the south the colored voter is not given a fair chance at the ballot box. In one way or another his right ol suffrage is rendered worthless to him. He counts in the population and thereby enables the south to get its representa tion in the congress , but in u number e > f btatcs his existence as a political factor does not appear in the voting re turns. .A careful compilation made by Mr. Murat Halstead has very convinc ingly shown this. There was ground , therefore , for the bill introduced by Mr. Chandler in the United States sen ate , very soon after ho had taken his boat in that body , providing for a federal supervision of congressional elections in several of the southern states. There is very little probability that with a democratic administration to appoint ho olllcials authorized by the 'bill the upervibion would amount to much , yet t is not questionable that congress has ho right to make such provision in thee o of the election of its own members. :3ut : the zeal of Mr. Chandler knows no imitations , and the allegation that in a municipal election at Jackson , Mississ ippi , the colored voters were notified .hat . they would not be permitted to take mrt in the election was sufficient induce him to bring it to ho attention of the senate as a matter : > f national concern demanding investi gation. The resolution to investigate NILS passed by a strict party vote , and . Chandler scored his first success in : iis effort to make colored suffrage in he south mi issue. Inasmuch as con gress would be powerless to apply any remedy for outrages against the rights of suffrage in the case of a municipal election , the value of the proposed in- cstigation , except for political pur poses , is not apparent. Granting that the outrages charged ire clearly proved , as very likely they can bo , to what extent can they bo made iivailablo for political purposes ? Wo ipprohond that the popular mind will lot bo found during the present years I'cadily susceptible to issues of this kind , and that it may bo disposed to resent nny urgent attempt to force them upon ts attention. There is to be , as it seems ,0 us , a pretty thorough exclusion from popular consideration of all matters niroly political , and more attention iven to questions of a practical charac ter. Every just man will concede that ho colored voters of the south ought to mvo secured to them the full enjoy- nont of their political rights , and every good citizen hopes that the time will come when this shall bo accomplished , but just now the paramount and prcss- ng issue is to secure to millions of people , white and colored iliko , in every section of the land , ro- ief from the oppression of unnecessary Luxation and from the exactions of the jnjustly and unwisely protected monop olies , corporations and trusts. This is the overshadowing question about which the people are most concerned and from the consideration of which they will not ho diverted by any side issues that Mr. Jhuudler or any other politician may raise. Wo do not bee , therefore , that the ' .cul of the Now Hampshire senator , in the direction It has taken , is likely to bo of any service to the republican party , and it is possible that it may bo carried so far as to become hurtful. There are circumstances in which the people become impatient of the ex pedients of the politician , and wo believe - liovo these exist to some extent at present. There is opportunity for the republicans in congress to exhibit some statesmanship in dealing with the questions that are urgent and of the gravest importance to the welfare of the whole people , and these are numer ous enough to occupy their whole at tention. If this opportunity is neg lected the party may not bo able to satisfy the people by referring to its record , however meritorious , on side is sues. Ijct Them Kino and Explain. Mayor Broateh has set himself right before respectable and law-abiding cit izens of this community by firmly ad hering to the position he had taken tigalnst licensing saloons and other re sorts that are known to be disorderly , and have boon so designated by the chief of police. When one of the ro- portora of the BEK charged Mayor Broateh with having changed front on licensing the keepers of houses that had been the habitual resort of thieves , thugs und crooks , ho labored under the impression that the action of the license board in the case of J. A. King was unanimous. Mayor Broateh most em phatically denies that ho voted a license to King , after having rejected his llrst application. The mayor states that he was overruled by the majority of the board. The HccnEo board is made up of the mayor , president of the council , and the city clerk. William F. Bcchel ani ! J. B. Southard are therefore responsible for the reactionary course of the board , Wo ask Bechol and Southard to rise and explain what prompted them tc change their minds. What influence was it that brought about this disgrace ful flopV Do they propose from now ot to override the mayor and the chief o police in their efforts to close the den : and dives ? Do they propose to stand ii with the keepers of resorts that harboi crooks and thieves ? If so , an outragec community will know the reason why 'Public officers do- not prostltulo. their positions without something moro .tlinu more personal.Irlpudship as a consider ation ; and if it is personal friendship , decent people will hold their no cs its they pass by our hightoned president of the council. Tin : section to the charter relating to the city advertising requires the coun cil at the beginning of each year to in vite proposals from the daily papers published in Omaha , and expressly di rects that the paper making the lowest bid shall be. awarded the contract and declared the ofllclul paper for the year. The only condition made by the charter is that each paper entering the compe tition shall have a circulation of not less than i2,000 dally , and be in existence at least six months before the letting. This leaves the council no option us re gards city circulation or personal pre ference. They tire in duty bound to lot the contract to the lowest rob | > onsible bidder , provided that such papal * has been publibhcd more than six months and has a general circulation of more than 2,000. In the face of this and in spite of the clear definition of the law made by Councilman Burn- ham , a majority of the council have directed the city clerk to rule out the morning BEI : as a competitor , and de liberately put up a job , whereby the of ficial advertising is to bo kept by the present organ. This niece of lawless ness is simply a renewal of the law-defy ing tactics and crooked methods of Bell wether llascall andhischioMieutenant , Councilman Bechol. Bothof these men know the law as well as anybody. They know that they are prostituting thofr positions for contemptible poreonal ro- yonges , and favoritism to the gang eif jobbers that bolstered them up in their attempt to create anarchy in Omaha last summer by starving the police. TIIK Missouri circuit court has de cided that a railroad company must de liver Jreight promptly when time is specified. A cargo of bteors billed to Kansas City dirt not reach the market at the time agreed upon and the shipper est nearly a thousand dollars by a drop n the market. The court rules that he company must indemnify him. This s a good precedent. By such decisions ; ailroad companies arotaughltliat their > atrons have some rights that must bo . espected. Oilier Ijiimls Thau Ours. Lord Salisbury's latest address , do- iverod at a conservative club banquet it Liverpool , is well calculated , if wo nay judge from the brief description of it at hand , to stir the indignation of every friend of Ireland's cause. lie is toported to have said that the dark loud Is lifting ever Ireland , a resolute government having had its effect. Ho believed the country was in process of extrication from the commercial calami ties of the last twelve years. Desirable is it would unquestionably bo to secure mprovemont in the material condition of Ireland , it is difficult to. see how the policy of political persecution and on- n-ession pursued by the gov ernment can effect anything for that condition. It is an altogether novel theory that commercial improvement in a country may result from exorcising the sternest restraints ipon the opinions and actions of iv people and visiting severe penalties jpon those who have the manhood to resist such tyranny. There is no ovi- : lcnco that the assumption of Lord Salis bury is in the least degree true , and if there were it could not bo urged in jus tification of the course of the govern ment toward Ireland. But apologists for tory misgovernment appear to bo satisfied with any pretext or pretense , however unwaVranted and shallow. A measure to placate 'the Irish landlords has been brought before parliament , known as the Irish land purchtiso bill. It may properly bo termed a scheme for the spoliation of the general public for the benefit of a class , and as that class is very strong in its influence with the govern ment the scheme may succeed. The English land-owners perceive in it a way to escape the loss that threatens them. England is only a few years behind - hind Ireland in this land agitation busi ness. The average rent of English farms is but/ little less than $10 an acre. On some valuable/farms it is $15but the average is a little loss than $10. The nominal value of the land is the rent capitalized. If money is worth 8 per cent a your , an estate is hold at u valua tion of which the rent is ordinary inter est. But the real value of the estate is what the farmer can afford to pay , not what lie has boon required .to pay. The Irish land purchase question only paves the way for an Eng lish land purchase proposition when the land agitation is transferred to Eng land. The unionists , under the lead of Lord Hnrtington ono of the largest land-ownors in the United Kingdom make land purchase the corner-stone of their policy. They will have no homo rule in Ireland until the land-owner is taken care of. The proclamation of the county of Month appears to have been a moat arbitrary proceeding on the part of the viceroy of Ireland which forcibly illustrates the viciousncss of the crimes act. It seems that the viceroy had rentcel a hunting seat in the county. A convention of farmers resolved not to allow hunting ever their farms , and thereupon the county was proclaimed. Hero is a law that permits an individual , representing the sovereign power of Great Britain , to wreak his vengeance ont a whole county because its farmers would not agree that ho might at will ride helter- skelter over their growing crops. It la almost incredible ) that a statute giving to ono man such arbitrary power would bo tolerated by the English people of this day , in whoso hands rests the power to remove this reproach upon the nation. * * The European news of the past wcoli has been more pacific than otherwise , yet there have been some incidents , as Austria's calling out her reserves foi drill in Moravia and Russia's dispatcli of more Infantry to Poland , which are not without a degree of ominous sig nificance. On the other hand there have been reports of Russian disarma ments and of the dismissals of troop : whose enlistments have expired whicli the optimists huvo received us greatly reassuring , 'in point o ! fact , however , no material e'hango has oqcu'rred in the situation. The embargo put by winter upon iicllvo operations while Poland , dalioia aiul Slleiumay bo burled under common biiowfallsj gives an outward tranquillty whiojisiB not the result of any harmony yet attained in the courts. With'th fljiningof spring it will bo more possible to determine whether there has bconj any real advance toward a solution of the deep-seated troubles. Meanwhile the attitude of Eng land seems to have become a little better defined. It is quite certain that she takes no active part in the alliance of Germany , Austria and Italy , but that her influence will bo thrown with them should Russia adopt an aggressive Balkan policy. It may be going too far to say , as a Constantinople correspond ent wserts , that England has definitely promised to send two squadrons to the Black sea should .Russia attempt to occupy Bulgaria , but she is probably ready to act in concert with the three allied powers to prevent Russian subju gation of the principality. * * * Calcutta advices announce that largo bodies of Thibetans tire entering Slk- kitn ; that Thibetan intriguers are be coming very active , and that a display of force will have to bo made on the frontier. Sikkim is a small , protected state in the northeastern part of India , between Nopnul and Bhotan. In ono way or another Thibet , which for centuries has deserved as much as Corcn the epithet of " hermit kingdom , " is likely to become more open to external inllueuccs. The in trusions e > t Thibetans on the fron tier of India may promote coun ter-movements. ) A few years ago the Indian government succeeded in opening cominuni' 'ion with Thibet , with a view ultimately to secur ing traffic between that country and In dia. The merchants of Nepaul had le > ng before made themselves the inter mediaries of trade between the two countries , but Chinese influence has for generations boon exerted in the direc tion of keeping Thibet shut up against communication with the outer world. The interference of its people in the affairs of Nepaul , which is now the scone of commotion through the return of one of the exiled princes heading a revolutionary movement and their swarming into Sikkim , may load to com plications that , will in turn bring their own country into greater contact with india. f * h * The intelligence that the Turkish government has undertaken to revise the school laws with the evident inton- , ion of suppressing foreign educational institutions in th it country will excite very general interest , for no stop could jo taken which \\o\jjd bo so distinctly detrimental to the interests of Ameri- . ; an missionary work , throughout the Ottoman empire , and those interests are vitally identified with all our interests .here. According to advices which liave reached the ; hpadquartcrt > of the American board at Boston , the now laws provide that "no foreigner shall open a school without a special firman from the sultan himself , and forbid any Ottoman subjects attending such a chool till he shall have taken a course of religious training in one of the schools of his own country. Foreign- schools are to abstain entirely front re ligious instruction , and those already established are to bo suppressed unless they eonform : to the new regulations within six months. The effect of the enforcement of such a law upon Robert college would bo disastrous , and the sul tan has good reason to wish for such a result , for no other agency has been so influential in spreading the leaven of civilization and independence of spirit through his dominions. The American minister atConstantinople , Mr. Strauss , has protested against the now law .and has urged the other embassies to unite in opposing it. * * With both Gorman and British ex plorers busy in the great island of Papua , important additions have been made within the last few years to the knowledge of its interior. The two great rivers which Mr. Bevan has re cently explored to distances e > f 100 miles from their mouths are on the southern coast. Any immediate value they may have to commerce will no doubt bo as highways for products of the interior. An island close upon the equator , and with a largo part of its coast region unhealthy , especially in the vast swampy regions , would hardly attract settlers ; but the indications of gold re cently discovered may draw adventurers where the fine and valuable timber and other products would appeal in vain. The recent return of Mr. Bovan to Brisbane will soon bo followed by the detailed account of his latest discover ies. It is rather remarkable that an island of such extent , seen and visited much more than three centuries ago , should still be to so largo a degree unex plored. * * A great deal of anxiety exists through out Germany regarding the present ill ness of the emperor , which scorns to bo more severe than ho has before been alllictod with for a year. The popular solicitude would doubtless be greater but for the apparent improvement in the condition of the crown prince , whoso throat difficulty is giving him less trouble and is now believed by the ablest physicians not to bo cancer. * * * French affairs present few features ol general interest. The now government Booms to be moving in the careful and conservative path it was expected tc tread , giving its attention to homo af fairs and not bothering with the busi ness of its neighbors. No ono , and par ticularly no well-wisher of France , will doubt the wisdom of this policy. I'UOMl.NKXT I'KUSONH. C. P. Huntlngton's wealth ts estimated al 150,000,000. Thomas A.

With that purely sentimental and argcly lip-loyal address filling their whole mental horizon it is very natural 'or these independent newspapers to nistuko the opposition to La mar as in spired by partisan and sectional poll- Lies. Lies.But But the objections to Lamar's confir mation are personally constitutional and .noradieablo. Ho lacks professional qualification for the position. Ho wa.s idmittcd to the bar forty years ago. For ten years ho practiced his profession in obscure towns in Georgia and Missis- ilppi. lie was elected to congress in 1857 , and from that time abandoned the .aw for polities. After the failure of lits confederate mission to Russia and , ho close of the war ho was elected to iho chair of history , political economy uid social sclonco in the university of Mississippi ; auel later ho was put te > [ .caching the rudimentary principles of -he law to students. In 187 ; ! ho again entered congress and biulo a farewell too [ \\o \ \ law. The insincerity of Lamar's preitesttv- Lioiis in his Sumner eulogy has been es- .ublislicd by his veiling against a resolu tion declaring the war umumlinuntM to ihe constitution us binding as the orig inal articles , and in his denial that Jef ferson Davis was a traitor. Mr. Lamar is an indolent rhetorictinand hechoeibcs to profess his acceptance of the arbitra- uoiit of the war lie always managca to ouple with it semio expression that reserves - servos te > him and the south that construction - struction of the constitution which wan utterly confounded by the war. This is the reason why Mr. Larmar is not a fit man to be confirmed to a place on the highest tribunal for the construction of the constitution of the United Stats. It is nothing to the point that the re publican senate which confirmed Lamar is ti cabinet eillicer cannot consistently nbject to his proposed elevation to the bench , as Harper's Weekly contends. A cabinet officer is a subordinate of the president. Air associate justice ) of the supreme court is a member of a co-ordinate branch of the national government. A Strange ! Kteil-y Ily ( Jypsie-N. Indiunapols Journal : A gentleman from Randolph county , who wus ; in the city yesterday , reports that a country neighborhood near Winchester is con- siderablv excited overall incident which occurred there a few days ago. A young married man named Fetters was killsd in his stable four or live years ago , and his death was generally attrib- uteul to accident. Ho went to the stable to feed his heirsos late ono evening , and his wife , hearing a noise , entered the stable only to find her hus band unconscious and elying. A dark bruise was found upejn his headand the blood oo/.cd from his ears and nostrils , showing that ho had been struck by some heavy instrument. One * of the poles used in separating the stable into stalls was down , and it was believed that this had been , in sonic way , thrown against Fetters when he entered the stable and bad caused the fatal wound. This explanation was accepted until a day or two ago , when some gypsies stopjied at the house of the widow and wanted to tell her fortune. She refused to have anything to do with them. Ono of them insisted , however , and when again refused , said : ' 'Well , I will tcl you some things about yourself anyhow Your husband was killed five years ago in the stable and you thought his death was due to accident. But you were mis taken. You w.ero milking near by and when you ran to the stable two men ran out ami disappeared in the woods. One was a very large man and the other was small. Their object was to rob your husband , who had a large sum of money in his pocket. But your coming prevented - vented the roblwry. " With this the gypsies passed on. and the widow recalled the fact that her husband , on the day ef his death , hud sold his hogs and had the money sowed in the watch pocket of his pantaloons , whore she afterwards found it. The gypsies detailed all the circumstances of the death of her husband with such minuteness that the widow believes him to have been the victim of a horrible crime instead of an accident , and many of her neighbors share this feeling with her.
