VKUMONT formerly produced n largo amount of wool , but the industry has declined to very small dimensions there. In 1850 the state bad ono million sheep , while in 1880 the number was only 78KH ( ) . Evidently the wool tariff has been n failure so far as Vermont is con ! * > * > cerned. THE old chestnut to reimburse the de positors of the defunct Precdman's Sav ing and Trust company for loss incurred by its failure , bobs up serenely at every session of congress. Congressman Caruth , of Kentucky , has the honor this tlmo of resurrecting the bill. Perhaps ho has an eye to knocking a hole in the surplus , and saving the tariff. Arrms a careful investigation of the subject , the St. Paul Pioneer Press has come to thu conclusion that high licoiibo In Minnesota has materially diminished drunkenness in that state since the now law wont into effect. The same result lias been produced by high license in all this states that have so far tried this method of dealing with intemperance. WITH Justice Field in charge of the circuit at ono end of the Southern Pa cific railroad , and Justice Lamar ex pounding the law in the circuit at the other end , it would seem that Stanford ot nl. ought to feel pretty secure. The more carefully the circumstances are looked at the more certain docs it appear that Stanford know what ho was doing when ho voted to confirm Lamar. THK general freight agents of the Western association decided at their mooting in Chicago this week not to reduce gruin rates from Omaha and Council Bluffs to meet the cut from Kan sas City , unless a movement of Nebraska grain toward that place should take place. The shippers of this bttito thus have a means for mooting this unjusti fiable discrimination against them which they should adopt at once. TlTK Bomowhat chostnutty story is Bent from London that the Cobden club is showing unusual activity , and that its surplus funds will bo sent to this coun try , to reinforce the free trade move ment. As there is no such movomiflit making or contemplated iu this coun try the Cobden club surplus , if it has any , would simply bo wasted hero. But this ridiculous story is ronoated every time there is an effort made to rovit-o the tariff and reduce burtleiisomo taxation , and will no longer do service with those fnmilitir with its ancient character The Cobden club seems likely to lind use at home for all the money it can raise.

Itntlrontl Itctnllntlon. The vitidictivoncss of the subsidized corporations , In pursuing and traducing those who have the courage and the K-tibo of justice to expo.-o and properly lenounce their nbusoof corjHirato power and their robbery of the peopleis well illustrated in the public attack that has ) cen made on ux-GOvornor PaUlson , chairman of the Pneillc railroad com mission. There cannot bo a reasonable loubt respecting the inspiration of this ittnck. It could hnvo proceeded from no other tourco than the Pacific rail road buccaneers , though possibly only these identified with the Central Pacific are immediately responsible for it. Nowhere else could there exist a motive for such nn assault upon the character nnd integrity as a public man of Governor PaUlson. Ho is not engaged in a po litical contest or seeking political pre ferment. Having completed his work is ii member of the commission and submitted his report ho has returned to Ilia private duties. Ho Is doing nothing , and so far astlio world knows , intending nothing , that should invite an attack upon his integrity while in public life. But his entirely tr.uo and just presenta tion of the character and conduct of the Pacific railroad corporations , mid his uncompromising recommendation of a iiolicy that would go far to secure jus tice to the government and protect the i > ooplo against further abuses , are virile 'acts that nro yet to play an impor- .iint part in giving form and spirit to the legislation of congress re garding the subsidized railroads. Howe ; o break the force of Governor Patti- bon's honest and fearless presentation of the case against these corporations is now the study of their unscrupulous managers. Ono of the expedients al ready adopted is to attack the integrity of Governor Pattison us a public ofllcial. The charge made is that while gov ernor of Pennsylvania Pattison had been improperly influenced by the Van- dcrbilts to sign bills relating to the con struction of the South Pennsylvania railroad , an enterprise intended to com pete with the Pennsylvania railroad , and therefore in the interest of the Vandorbilta. It is alleged that Governor Pattison nt first determined to veto these bills and engaged Judge .Ter- omiah S. Black to prepare the message , but afterwards decided to approve the measures , which he did. From these circumstances the inference is permitted to bo drawn that Governor Pattison was bribed. The answer of Governor Patti- hon is that ho never asked Judge Black to write a veto message , or promised him or any ether man to veto the bills in question , and that ho signed the bills becau&o ho believed the projected road to bo a proper and necessary enterprise. Subsequently the at torney general of Pennsylvania , by direction of the governor , instituted proceedings to prevent the Pennsylvania railroad company from absorbing the South Pennsylvania road. Tlio facts clearly and fully exonerate Governor Pattison , and show his course in this matter to have been straightfor ward , honorable and judicious. Thc'nttack of the railroads on Governor Pattison will not have the desired effect. It will detract nothing from the value and force of his report , nor will it lesson the popular opinion that ho was the right man in the right place ns chair man of the Pacific railroad commission. The thoroughness of the investigation was duo very largely to his energy , zeal and fearless determination to get at the bottom facts , and to the end of the work bo exhibited a purpose to carry out fully the intention of congress in creating the commission. Ho justi fied the judgment of the president in appointing him. and was the ono man of the commission who grow to command the entire popular confidence. No vin dictive assaults upon Governor Pntti- bon will now avail to impair or dimin ish the respect he has won by a.straight forward and fearless course and the ex pression of opinions honestly enter tained. Nebraska's Ileroio Tcnclicr . The BKE'S story of the heroic action tiid | great presence of mind of Miss Minnie Freeman , a teacher in Mira Valley dibtrict , Valley county , in saving the lives of her thirteen pupils in the blizzard , has excited wide interest. It will bo remembered that when the wind blow off the door und the roof of the frail school house , she tied twelve of the children together with a string , nnd taking the youngest in her arms , safely led the little band through the drifts and blinding clouds of biiow to a farm hoiffio three-quarters of a milo dis tant. She has become a heroine , and deserves to bo rewarded. In Franco she would bo voted a Ufa pension. It hits been suggested that this bravo young lady , aged only nineteen years , bo given a medal. The BICE would make another suggestion. Miss Freeman deserves something moro sub stantial than a moro souvenir. She is now earning a scanty livelihood at probably $25 per month. She should bo liberally rewarded by contributions in money that would enable her to acquire n homo and t become independent. Money enough will bo cheerfully con tributed by the teachers in the public schools of Omaha alone to buy a band- bomo medal. In doing this the teachers would only honor themselves and their own profession. The city nt largo and the people of the state should contribute to n fund for Miss Freeman. These contributions can bo forwarded di rectly to State Superintendent Lane. Contributions will also bo received by the BIK : and the donors will receive credit through the columns of this paper. Another Nebraska school teacher de serves to bo remembered and should betaken taken care of. Her name is Miss Louise Royce , living near Plain- view. In nn heroic but unsuc cessful attempt to save the lives ol three children this girl was so udly frozen that she will probably bo seriously crippled by losing ono , if not both , of her feet. It seems to us that U would bo very proper and timely for State Suporiud- ontLano to send out appeals in bo half of these two Nebraska heroines to the touchers of every school district. Lot it go forth to the wodd that , Nobra&ku has tlio highest regard for the men mid women who exhibit by their self-sacri ficing conduct the highest traits of hu manity. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . llctwcen Wind ntul AVntcr. The senate hiiH adopted Senator Man- dorbon's resolution calling UIKMI the secretary of wnr for information whether the new Council Bluffs and Omahn bridge is being constructed in strict compliance with the original charter , which requires the company to build a railroad and wagon bridge. \Vo are assured that the now bridge has been planned for railroad and wagon traflio and is being constructed so as to accommodate any railroad that may want to cross the river at some future day. The Union Pacific charter of 1871 , called for a railroad and wagon bridge , and wo have had such a bridge on paper for fifteen years. Last year , when the Union Pacific bridge was rebuilt , the wagon attachment became visible for the first time. Up to date it is not navi gable oven for a blind horse. Wo have the plans and wo have the construction , but people who want to drive across the Missouri prefer to take to the ice in winter and to Captain Swobo's vestibule hor.se cars for the rest of the season. The now bridge will undoubtedly relieve - liovo the Union Pacific bridge of its wagon trafllc , but it is sheer nonsense to talk about using the now bridge for railroad trains when the approaches would land a train sky high above the the connecting tracks on either ido of the river. A railroad bridge between wind and water may satisfy MajorSutor , but it will hardly bo borriccablo as a competitor to the Union Pacific bridge. TIIK garbage system of Omaha needs overhauling. The service is irregular , insufficient and unsatisfactory both to the householder and to the garbage col lector. The disposal of refuse is loft to the inclination of the householder. The ordinance prohibiting the dumping of lushes and kitchen garbage in streets and alleys is a dead-letter. If the house holder calls upon u scavangor , ho is obliged to pay an oxhorbitant tax for irregular and improper service ; hence , ho prefers U ) violate the ordinance. On the other hand , the garbage collector comes around when it suits his conven ience , and that may be once a week or once in two months. The primary cause of this disregard of sanitary regulations is ignorance of the law. The board of health and city council are in position to make the garbage collecting system more effective. In the ' first Lplaco every garbage collector should bo placed under the supervision of tlio street commissioner , who should compel systematic service in collecting and hauling away the garbage. Each garbage collector should bo provided with cards , upon which the ordinance regulating the service , and providing penalties for violating it are printed in ut least four languages , English , Gor man , Scandinavian and Bohemian. These cards distributed to every house holder , and followed up by prompt ar rest of parties who knowingly refuse to comply with the ordinance , will have the desired'effect. . POSTMASTKII GALLAOHKH now reads his title clear. Oilier Lands Than Ours. Mr. Parnoll predicts a crisis during the coining session of parliament. Ho regards the recent statement , of Lord Salisbury that in the event of a hostile vote in the house of commons lie would have to consider whether the ministry should follow the constitutional custom of resigning or dissolution as indicating the existence of grave dissensions per haps In the cabinet , and certainly in the party. These dissensions are likely to arise rather out of questions of Eng lish ' .legislation than from the Irish question , and the disposition manifested by Lord Salisbury is to sacrifice every conservative principle , and if need bo reverse , the or dinary cause in case of de feat , in order to prevent home rule. Tlio advice of Mr. Parnoll to his imme diate followers , and as well to the rad icals , is to facilitate the governmental business when the legislative session shall have opened and thus avoid the charge of obstruction. It has been largely duo to the constitutional meth ods adopted by Mr. Parncll , and perse vered in by him oven under great prov ocation , that there has been such a change in the sentiment of the people of Great Britain on the Irish question. That grave dissensions exist among the members of the Salisbury cabinet i.s un doubted ; that a government party crisis may occur at any time next session is an opinion gen erally hold by intelligent observers of the events of the last six months ; and that if the tory government should sustain defeat in any serious homo question the dissolution would bo fol lowed by a liberal triumph is clearly foreseen. Such a break-up would bo followed by the political extinction of several ambitious publicists who have already found that their conversion to the tory cause has not aided them in any way to realise the fulfillment of their selfish desires. Parliament will' assem ble on the StU of February , and the at tempt of Salisbury to drive the tory horse going in one direction and tlio liberal-union horse going in the other direction will bo a most interesting spectacle. The probability is that ho will find it not simply a most ditUcult , but an impossible task. If he accedes to the demands of tlio liberal unionists re specting legislation for England lie will inevitably shatter the conservative ranks , yet ho admits that ho will bo pow erless without liberal unionist support , which is only to bo secured by yielding to the requirements of that faction. The dilemma is ono of the most difficult and serious in which a British prime minis ter has over been placed , and fully warrants Mr. Parnoll's ex pectation of a crisis. If having ex perienced a defeat the minis try refused to resign or dissolve parlia ment it would stand before the country as having violated a constitutional cus tom as profoundly honored by tlio Eng lish people as any other , and the final result could not fail to bo the fall of'the ministry in disgrace. It is question able indeed whether Salisbury could hold the cabinet together for such a re versal of a policy doomed to bj vfUil in the English political system * It is hardly to bo supposed that all of tlioso now acting with hfm could be induced to thus invite apolitical destruction. Earnestly as all of them undoubtedly desire to" prevent homo rule , it is very probable that some of them would not bo "prepared to sacrifice all their political hopes by a proceeding that would bo regarded by a great ma jority of the English people as a most grave and dangerous constitutional in fraction. K The apparently peaceful turn in Euro pean affairs a week ago has since given place to renewed indications of a war temper , and there has been within the past few dajs news of continued mili tary preparations which scorn to point unmistakably to the opening of hostili ties as soon as the weather barrier shall be removed. Russian troops continue to arrive at the Austria frontier , the work of fortifying goes on unceasingly , the deliberations of ten European cabi nets are devoted cfiiofiy to military af fairs , and the whole aspect of the situa tion is threatening. It has boon given out on semi-official' authority from St. Petersburg , that the c/ar would bo will ing to maintain the peace of Europe on the condition that the great powers should consent to remove Prince Ferdi nand from Bulgaria and permit the establishment of a provisional govern ment under Russian influences. This consent the powers will not bo likely to grant. While the powers disclaim any shnro in the adventure of Ferdinand , they recognize that ho has become a political necessity of the first magni tude in the present European situation. ShoulU ho bo displaced the Bulgarian question would hasten the very crisis which all parties are BO anxious to avert. While Russia grumbles over the viola tion ot the Berlin treaty , Ferdinand feels that ho has become an essential factor in the preservation of European peace. Ho looks upon his duties in a different way from his predecessor. Prince Alexander con sidered it reason enough for abdicating that Russia insisted upon it , and ho held that in so doing ho was best serv ing Bulgaria. Prince Ferdinand would "rather leave his bones on the battle field than abdicate , " because this latter would be abandoning and ruining Bul garia. The present ruler possibly over estimates his personal importance to the principality , yet ho has doubtless been of real value in" furnishing to it a head , and thereby giving a greater semblance of public order and se curity. The report that the pow ers contemplate a 'combined boycotting or "blockade" of Bulgaria in case Ferdi nand should not .resign , although ex ceedingly doubtfitl , yet recalls the pro cess made ready for refractory Greece when that little kingdom persisted , at great expense , in preparing to fight. There would probably bo no difilculty in disposing quietly of Prince Ferdinand could the surrounding powers only agree why they want a vacancy and for whom they want it. In the lack of such qgroemont and of any common notion what to do next , Prince Ferdinand seems justified in holding his place , oven if only as the man in possession. If the question whether Russian or Austrian influence might prcdominato in Bulgaria should alone bo involved Ferdinand would con stitute a very small political factor , and Turkey would probably bo able to dis pose of her vassal without any assist ance. But Bulgaria is the outpost which protects not merely Austria and Turkey , but England and Italy , against the march of Russia upon Constan tinople find her control of the Mediter ranean sea. Should the conflict arise Franco would , probably , in an alliance with Russia , scok revenge for the dis asters and humiliations inflicted by Germany , and the war would rage on the Rhine as well as on the Danube. England and Italy , drawn into the Auslro-Germanie alliance by the high est motives of self-interest , would con tend with Russia and Franco for mari time supremacy on the Mediterranean. The Balkan question , therefore , threat ens Europe with a conflict more tremendous than it has experi enced since Napoleon was crushed at Waterloo. But while the political conditions that menace the peace of Europe are certainly serious , the recurring rumors of war are doubt less in a largo measure distinctly as signable to the uxistenco of the great armaments , which are lauded by those who are responsible for them as the most effectual means of preserving peace. The czar of all the Russias is a man of violent temper and of no great judgment. He has at his command a vast army , and ho threatens to use it to plunge Europe into war , not because the interests or the honor of his country is imperiled , or really involved at all , but because he has taken offense at what ho dooms a personal slight to himself. That is the explanation of his attitude which is suggested by his ac tions , and which scorns to bo taken by the best informed observers. Of course Russia is an extreme case , but the czar has the power o f dragging unwilling nations into a WIH * with him ; and the monarchs of Germany and Austria , if they wore violent and unwise men , would find little trouble in using their armies to satisfy their personal grudges. The war tliat destroyed the French empire was on thei part of the French emperor not fao much a national as a por&onal war. * * The situation of Porn is such as to invite - vito the consideration of mankind. That unhappy country , once proverbial as the homo of wealth and luxury , and still rich in mines of. silver , has since the war with Chili steadily declined , until now nearly her entire population is reduced to poverty and misery. Bad government has banished silver money and flooded the country with Irredeema ble paper money , which merchants have at last refused to take for their goods. The result has been that formidable riots have broken out on the part of the holders of the worthless currency. With domestic strife and the utter stagnation of bufainosstho , condition of Peru has be come truly pitiable , and it can only bo a question .of tituu when this unco opulent land of the Incns will bo absorbed by f-omo of its. more vigorous , neigh bors. Such , a result , it might bo sup- jxifiod , Its now pauperized and wretched people would most eagerly welcome. . * * Cruel evictions by Irish landlords are told of so often that wo are prone to for got the wrongs inflicted upon the miserable - able crofters who live on the small inlands in Scotch waters and on parts of the mainland in the north of Scotland. These crofters ordinarily live in what are no bettor than dug-outs , and sub sist either by fishing or by the cultivation of patches of unfruitful soil ; but latterly they have been al most deprived of food and shelter by the hcnrtlcssncss of non-resident land lords , who desire to transform the moor lands into a vast hunting Hold. In their weak protest against what they believe tx ) bo substantial grievances they have had the sympathy of right-thinking people , but the power arrayed against them is too strong , and their extinction seems to bo only a matter of time. The idea of sending a gunboat with a force of marines against such half-starved wretchcsl Magnanimity scorns , indeed , to bo a lost virtue among the adherents of tory premiers. * * * Tlio budget committee of the French chamber of deputies has virtually re jected the financial schemes of M. Ti- rard , the prime minister. Although it is to bo regretted that difficulties should already have arisen in the way of the new administration , yet there is satis faction in knowing that they have been caused by debatable questions on politi cal economy , and not by the revival of schemes of military aggrandizement or of a policy of rovongo. A country is always sure to progress when its loaders are interested in the development of its commerce and industry , even if they should differ as to the best method of bringing about the desired expansion. * * * Tlio attending physicians of the German crown prince are again in a wrangle over the real nature of his ail ment. If ho is suffering from cancer , a surgical operation should have boon performed months ago ; but the English Dr. Mackenzie still hesitates to pro nounce the disease cancerous. The disputes among doctors when a dis tinguished patient calls -a number of them in for consultation do not tend to confirm popular faith in the correctness of a medical diagnosis. TnOMINENT PKHSONS.

McDonald , tlio Former , Again llc- turned to II to Cell. D. II. McDonald , who for several weeks has been an Inmate of the county jail , tasted the sweets of liberty for n few moments yes terday , when ho was again gathered la the strong grasp of the law and returned to the confinement that ho has so long undergone. McDonald , It will bo remembered , was brought back from Mexico on a requisition from Governor Thnyer by Dctec- tlvo Steve Mcalis , of the B. & M. , several Indictments having been found against him for forging time orders on the railroad while serving in thu capacity ot contractor. These it seems were not ulono McDonald's ' rascally doings , for no sooner had ho been returned from Mexico than S. P. Morse and .lullus Firth swore out complaints charging him with forghig their names to checks for divers amounts of money. These were dci > ositcd with Sheriff Coburn with In structions to notify the pollco authorities as soon as movements were instituted towards securing the prisoner's release. Yesterday the wife of McDonald , accom panied by Judge Heneko and Krnest It. Wiggs , made application for his release pend ing trial on thu It. & M. charges. McDonald was brought into the district court , and his bail was fixed at $1,000 , Messrs. Heneko and Wlggs being accepted as bondsmen. The. formality over with. Oflicer Horrigan stepped up and immediately put McDonald under arrest for forging the names of Messrs. Morse and Firth. Tlio no- cused , though surprised , and ap parently crest-fallen with the turn of affairs , went with the officer to the pollco court , where he was put under bonds In the respective amounts of W.OOO and $ lnoo to answer the charges before the district court. Hoing unable to secure sureties ho was re manded to jail. Additional allegations to the effect that McDonald Is wanted in Lancaster county , this state , for forgery ore made. AMUSKBIKNXS. "The Ivy Ijcaf" at Uovd'a Imst Night. "Tho Ivy Leaf , " a very chaste and inter esting Irish play was given at Boyd's last night by W. H. Power's clever company. What the audicnco lacked In numbers it made up in demonstrative appreciation. The play Is ono well calculated to fill the > rlsh heart , with pleasurable emotions. There is nothing rough , uncouth or boisterous about it , yet the plot is thrilling and sensational. The Irish character is graphically depicted , without tno exaggeration of brogues and loud con comitants that usually accompany plays of this description. Each act Is replete with exciting situations , while the stage settings are impressive and be.intiful , and llio com pany uniformly good.
