| , OMAHA is likely to have still another
tax-cater a city physician at a salary
of $1,8K ( ) a year. 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

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.

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.

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

ticularly no well-wisher of France , will
doubt the wisdom of this policy.

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

Mississippi ; auel later ho was put te >

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 )

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.
