FfilU Notary I'ubllc. _ CHICAGO proposes to celebrate the 400lh anniversary of llio discovery of America. * But that city will never celebrate obrato the discovery of Tascott. PKIVATK JOB FIKKII captured the re publican nomination for governor of Illinois , and the democrats will bo culled upon to pay for the whistle. CllAULKYGltKKNK'a auburn locks will burn with brighter fervor when the Burlington cohorts marshal in solid array at Ashland to elect him delegate to the national convontlon. TltH so-called Douglas county repub lican primaries wore a rip-roaring farco. The call for them was hold baclc until two days before and the rank and fllo of the party had no share in the mono way orftlic other. Mn. JOSUPH CnAMUEHLAix was un able to negotiate an acceptable fisheries treaty , but ho was successful in engag ing himself to Secretary Endicott's daughter. This is an international problem not down on the diplomatic l > luo book. THE citizens of Omaha are not doing their duty toward the city. They show "n lamentable lack of. puolio spirit. They must shako off their indifference at once. Omaha cannot stand still and see cities half the size surpass her in pub lic enterprise. THE California timber robbers pretest - test ngainst putting lumber on the free list. Having held the monopoly of sup plying all the lumber for the Pacific coast for a quarter of a century , the redwood wood barons eagerly join hands with the protected lumber interests of the east. ONE of the largest hat factories in America shut down at Danbury , and the question arises , how are election bets to bo paid ? It would bo in order for the senate to appoint an investigat ing committee to insure a full supply of campaign hats for our democratic friends when they are called upon to pay election hots next November. NEITHER the pope's bull nor English oppression can break the Irish spirit. When an estate worth $50,000 a few years ago cannot bring $3,000 in the London market because of the deter mined opposition to an unpopular land lord , it is only a question of tirno when the gentry will for their own benefit como to au amicable understanding with the peasantry. THE donors of nnnscom park threaten to bring suit for tho'recovery of the property on the grounds that the city has failed to carry out the terms of the gift. The evident purpose of Messrs Iliuiscom and Mogeath is to compel the council to make certain needed im provements in and about the grounds. For this timely action , the donors are entitled to the thanks of the city. For the past few years the council has been indifferent and careless in improving ttanscom nark , which is the only avail able pleasure resort tor our people in the heated season. THE indignation meeting in South Omaha , participated in by the lead ing citizens of that ambitious little city , was very timely. Notwith standing the fact that , through ques tionable manngomonttho municipal af- faira of South Omaha nro in bad shape , the town council had voted itself a COO per cent , increase in salary , against which the taxpayers protest. About the time the good citizens of Omaha's popular suburb awaken to the true con dition of things , Omaha will bo ready to gather thorn in under her protecting wing. A sound and economic city gov ernment is the forerunner of permanent growth. , 'Mn. LxntD'd friends will make n mlstako if they do not lookout for the primaries. The precaution is entirely superfluous. Mr. Laird's friends never make such mistakes. They will not bo caught napping this timo. They wcro no\er Ictiowu to bo asleep when the primaries como around. They are always on hand with the B , & M. gravel train and sec tion gangs , r.ml they always have an nniplo supply of refreshments. Don't bo alarmed about Mr. Laird's friends missing the primaries , especially wlinn they have put up a snap gaiao on the republican ? of the distrlat who do noi Irain with Mr. Lulfd and the imias-col ttrod brigade- A. Orocn Ilntvl nt tlio neltcnvs * The time between the issuing of tlio call in the Second district nnd tlio dnUr fixed for the irlmarlcs to so brief there is danger that pub ic Interest will not bo aroused , nnd , as a re sult , that the primaries will not voice the wisho * of the party. The short tltno between , ho mooting of the committee nnd the dote Istcd for the primaries was unfortunate , ns t left the shadow of a suspicion that snmo on o did not want the people to bo hoard. The jamo Is n familiar one which 1ms been suc cessfully worked more than once. Wo believe - liovo the ronomlnation of Mr. Laird to bo the wish of n very largo majority of republi cans in Ills district , but there Is danger that unless the voters attend the primaries their wishes will not govern the action of this convention. llcpultl lean. The man at the crank of the railroad organ is evidently a green hand , lie corlninly has not lived very long in Ne braska or ho would surely have known that { ho congressional committees of the Second district for the last six years have boon recruited by Jim Laird from the rank and file of railroad strikers. If there has boon any snap judgment In the call of the congressional conven tion Mr. Laird has hud a share in it. If the man at the helm of the Hcpttb- Ii'caii know anything about the senti ment of the republicans of the Second district ho would know that they are not now , and novcr have boon , in favor of Mr. Lnird as their representative in congressHo would know that Laird's nominations have been forced on the party each and every time by the un limited use of railroad passes , by primaries packed with gravel train hands , section gangs and saloon bummers in conventions dominated over by blatant railroad hcnchmciK If our verdant friend will consult the political calendar he will find that thousands and thousands of re publicans have revolted and openly re pudiated Jim Laird's nomination during every campaign. lie would know that in a district which is republican by fully 10,000 voles Laird was elected by a bare plurality of voters. Tlio objections to Mr. Laird have not merely been on account of his well known relations to the Burlington road , but on account of his personal habits and disreputable as sociations. The snap judgment \\hich was taken by Mr. Laird's committee in calling the convention on a few days' notice is simply a bold move on the part of Mr. Laird , who confidently expects to ride roughshod over the sober and de cent republicans of his district because this happens to bo a national campaign Insincere Laudation. All democratic platforms at this time read very much alike. In ono respect there is no dissimilarity , except in the matter of verbal construction , and that is in their uniform and unqualified praise of the administration. If ono could accept those declarations , some of them , extravagantly fulsome , without question as to their sincerity , ho would perforce believe that every democratic politician throughout the land is filled with admiration of the whole policy of the administration and regards the pres ident as mi ideal statesman. But very nearly everybody , including most of the democratic politicians , understands that this praise is not only purely per functory , but essentially dishonest. It is only necessary to talk confidentially with any intelligent democrat , who is in sympathy with the traditional policy of his party , to loam that his estimate of Mr. Cleveland is anything but flatter ing , and that ho regrets the necessity which compels the party to again make him the standard bcaror. It is well known that a number of prominent democrats are openly hostile to the president , and do not hesitate to disap prove of pretty much everything that is comprehended in the administration's policy. A democratic senator was re cently reported to have saidof Mr. Cleveland - land that he "seems to fatten on the mis fortunes of the democratic party , " and it is a well known fact that with a few exceptions democratic congressmen have hud as little to do personally with the president as possible , by reason of his arrogant treatment of them. In this particular ho has very likely of late somewhat modified his manners , but no president was over so generally ignored by party loaders as Mr. Cleveland has been , nnd for the reason that ho lias not sought , nor desired , nor regarded their counsel. ' It is necessary to buppoao these democrats have no manliness or solf-rcspcot in order to believe that they entertain any sincere respect for Mr. Cleveland. Furthermore , the conduct of the party in congress toward the administration has not been suclr as to justify the fulsome - some praise of the administration's policy that is now blossoming fortli in every democratic platform. How has tlio party treated the financial views of the administration , and what serb of re gard has it manifested for the professed civil service reform policy' ? When tlio labors of the late Secretary Manning failed to accomplish anything toward bringing the democratic majority in congress into line with the administra tion , and ho hopelessly gave up the task , it waa Mr. Cleveland himself who , in his letter to the retiring secretary of the treasury , deplored the lack of wis dom which that majority had exhibited. Every attack upon civil service reform on the door of the house of representa tives , since the present administration came into power , has boon made by a democrat , nearly every demo cratic defender of the reform has been defeated for re-election , and no fact is more certain than that four- llfths of the democratic party , in and out of congress , hold in contempt the civil service reform professions and pledges of the administration. There will bo ample opportunity in the near future to discuss the claims of democratic platforms in behalf of the udminitatration , and to show how fur they are founded upon truth and sus tained by evidence , but it is quite perti nent now to consider how little real sincerity there is in the current utter ances of democratic con ventions regard ing the administration and the man H ho ia the party's necessity , iwt not its choice , Ijet Them ilcsuiiie. IJotVce Gropley once said tlio way to br.iiiyal > out specie resumption \ tq re- .surae. That torso adage .applies with I equal force to tho-brickKyoro ? slrike. The shortest way out of the trouble la k > resume work. There is nothing to hinder the bricklayers from going to work at $1.50 for ulno hours' work n day. That is botlor pay than any other class of mechanics got. It the sticking [ ) oint is the demand for reduced time , it is untenable , so long as carpenters , painters , plasterers , tinsmiths , slaters , and other mechanics employed in the building trades , are willing to work nine hours a day. The time may como when eight hours will bo the uniform standard for rv day's labor , but the at tempt to enforce it this year was foredoomed to bo a failure. You can never force reduced hours at the same pay which simply means tiigher wages in a season of financial depression and in the face of n glutted labor market. Had the bricklayers' union listened to prudent counsels and licodcd the advice tendered by the BISI : last winter they would have accepted last year's scale of wages for this season. Most of them would have been at work for the past six weeks or two months , many building projects which wcro abandoned on account of their foolhardy course would to-day bo under way and other workingmen in the building trades would have had profitable em ployment all summer instead of being Idle or compelled toekooutnbarelivoli- liood on little building jobs hero and there. THEHE is a strong faction of the Wis consin democracy which has no love for Mr.Vilusandinthcrcccntconvontion for selecting dclegates-at-largo to St. Louis there was n , vigorous fight between the friends nnd foes of the secretary of the interior. The result , however , appears to have boon a substantial victory for the Vilas men , who secured three out of the four delegates understood to bo favorable to the vice presidential aspira tions of Mr. Vilas. But when it came to n proposition to commit the conven tion in his favor the certainty of a big row induced his friends to withdraw it , nnd so the ambitious Wisconsin states man will bo confronted in the national convention by the fact that his party in his own state is divided against him. It would doubtless , however , have made little dilTorcncc had it been otherwise. Nobody has intimated for several months that Mr. Cleveland , de sired his secretary of the interior on the presidential ticket with him , and the democratic national convention will not bo so unwise as to take a candidate for the second place from Wisconsin. There is no good reason , oven , why Mr. Vilas should have a complimentary vote in the convention or bo mentioned there. It is not apparent that the party owes him anything , the obligation being rather very largely on his side. ATTOIINEY GENERAL LEESE is enti tled to the thanks of every taxpayer and citizen of this state for the earnest and vigorous clTorts he has made to pro tect their rights and interests against the aggression of railway monopolies. And ho is to be congratulated upon the success which has crowned his efforts in the state and federal courts to keep the railway companies within legal bounds , and compel them * to respect the author ity of the state and refrain from trench ing upon the rights of patrons and the citizens of the state generally. The recent decision of the slate supreme court whereby the consolidation by the Atchison and Burlington systems was annulled because it is in direct conflict with the provision of the constitution which prohibits the consolidation of parallel railroads , puts a feather into the attorney general's cap of which ho may well feel proud. If ho succeeds in overthrowing the dangerous doctrine enunciated by Judge Dundy , that the Union Pacific is above state regulation and control , he will render the people of Nebraska invaluable service. JosEi'n FirEit , the republican - candidate date for governor of Illinois , has a rather interesting history , which is sure to make him a good deal talked about. Ho is known as ' 'Private Fifer , " having served througli nearly the en tire war as a private soldier , and made a most excellent record for gallantry. After the war ho determined to secure an education , and although poor he succeeded in paying his way through college by doing such work at leisure times as ho could find to do. Ho then studied law , and has since occupied the positions of corporation counsel , state's attorney and a seat in the senate of the state. Ho is a man of energy , pluck and good ability , of clean political record , and will rally to his support the full re publican vote of Illinois. The moral of his career will servo to illustrate the possibilities of American citizenship. Till ! report comes from Washington that Mr. McShano has succeeded in pushing his bill through the house for the construction of another railroad bridge across the Missouri river nt Omaha. The bill will now po before the senate whore it is more than likely to bo openly opposed by the Union Pacific and loaded down by obstructive amendments. The amendment which the hoiibo tacked to the hilt Is liable to make it inoperative. It prohibits the location of the bridge within a third of a mile of'existing bridges. This proviso was ostensibly added for the purpose of protecting navigation. But its plain intent is to throw U9 muoh expense - penso nnd difficulty us possible in the way of constructing the bridge ap proaches. Tins citizens of South Omaha have re solved that it is bad policy to im pose an occupation tux upon business enterprises. The arguments used against the proposed ordinance wore , that it would resultIf parsed , in driving business man out and prevent others coming in ; also" , that it would hasten the day whan South Omaha would bo annexed to Omaha. These arguments may bo somewhat conflicting in the minds of men who are looking forward to the commercial importance of South Onuhu. Would not ' .ho annexation at oiuo establish n sound basis for credit in the financial world which could not otherwise be secured as- easily , and do away with a { jrcaS deal of doubt and annoyance ? .

If they refuse to regard the admonitions convoyed in the manifesto , the campaign "will doubtless bo maintained with Increased energy , but If on the other hand they submit a powerful support to the work oj the na tional league will bo withdrawn , the loss of which will cortalnly bo seriously felt. Apart from this matter the attack of Lord llandolph Churchill on the government still Uccps warm the wrath of the lories , who smart under the just arraignment , which Is espe cially formidable coming from lhat source , Mr. Gladstone has boon especially nctlvo during the past week , having uinilo no fewer than four elaborate attacks on the go-voru- mont policies , exhibiting in nil of thoin remarkable vigor nnd clear ness. The extraordinary vitality , In tellectual and physical , . of the veteran statesman , scorns to have taken a re newed lease , the effect of which Is greatly to reassure his followers. # * Russian operations ia the cast , and in mov ing more troops to the Austrian frontier , nro Indications of another effort on the part of that power to bring about a crisis In the east ern question. Having failed to oxclto a rov- plullou in Bulgaria , and being out oft from a descent by way of the Black Sea by the su perior navnl strength of the tri-stato alliance , Hussla Is taking the only way loft to retrieve her position in the Bal kan peninsula by gaining control of Roumnnlannd Servia. Both , for the last two years , have opposed Hussla nnd sided xvith Austria. Tlio kidnapping of Alexander awoke the personal fears of the two princes who ruled these two potty kingdoms. Aus tria brought Sorvla to terms by a hostile- tariff and the threat of occupation. King Milan , in mortal terror of Russian aid for the claims of the rival house of KaraGcorgovich , made by Pnnco Nikita , of Montenegro , con cluded a hard and fast league with Austria , turned out Ristlcs , the pro-Russian premier of Scrvlu , nnd carried out something very like a coup d1 etat. Houmanlu lias a Ilohen- zollorn as klnr , Its recent prime minister , Grntlano , its ono able statesman , is in full sympathy with Austria , and at the caucus of Ills supporters in the Roumanian legislature two months ago ho read a letter from Prince Bismarck urging an anti-Russian policy by Routnania. The administration In both these countries has thcrofo.ro been opposed to Rus sia. Popular feelip runs the other way , and Russian influence , Intrigue and bribery supplement this. The local church of botli countries is in sympathy with Russia and opposed to the Roman Influence paramount at Vienna. Aus trian rule is unpopular nnd Austria has. an historical habit of awakening hatred in sub ject and neighbor lands. Hungary has op posed a liberal tariff with both kingdoms , put their railroad system to loss and expense by refusing to extend lit ' own to Join theirs , and ana delt hardly by S'orbs and Roumnns within its own boundaries- The practical result of this is that botk King Charles and King Milan in the last m [ > iiih have lost control of their own administrations through cabinet revolutions startednnd ; run by Russia. From Austrian allies the two kingdoms are drifting to a pro-Russian stand. This is an enormous gain to Russia. Small as their kingdoms arc , Roumanla ha the next largest army in Europe after the flvo great powers are out of the way , and a hostile Sorvia would at least keep 50,000 Austrian soldiers from the Russian frontier. If Russia has won over these pawns she can safely give mate to Austria and risk a war whore be fore its Issue would have been dangerous. * * * Boulanglsm is apparently making no pro gress , but it is doing a great deal more than is desirable for the good of Franco if it la balding its ground. The difficulty , it has been well said , of following such a curious , formless , and baseless thing 03 Boulangistn is that on the days when it fails to kick up a commotion the tendency is to conclude tnat it is on the wano. It is a familiar sayingtlmt agitation of this sort cannot stand still , f f it doesn't advance , It must rcccdo , but it is a question whether it is altogether true of this particular movcmcDt. Unquestionably the opportunists' decision to support Flocjuct in the , chamber , and even rnoro the disclosure that the students here ana clsdwhcrc are un- blttcn by the Boulungcr mania , have power fully intervened to prevent the defeat of the republic in the Nerd being turned into a rout. It is true also that M. Carnet has been fairly well received in tlio south as a whole and greeted with a good deal of en thusiasm elsewhere ; but all this does not mean that Franco Is through with BouUngcr. He will stand much more serious knocks than these without damage. What threatens him more tlian the wisdom and strength of his enemies , Is the. conflict ing views and ambitions of his friends. In his motley following there are represented every party , every faction , every shade of public delusion nnd private enmity whicli Franco has been cursed with in the last thirty years. These birds and beasts of prey flocked in hot haste to the adventurer in the belief that ho had the republic at his feet ready to bo divided and devoured. They find that this Is not entirely the case. Franco tripped and stumbled , it is true , and she may fail in the end , but she is not down yet , and meantime the kites , wolves and jackals may conclude to fall on each other or on Bou- langer. * * Another Arctic c'xiedltlon ' [ Is announced , the results of wlucji , If successful , can scarcely fail to bp of considerable scientific and historical Interest. Its objec tive point is that grea.t\ blank triangle with serrate edges that on our maps is labelled Greenland , but which the explorer Davis de clared should bo called the land of desola tion , and which Professor Nordenskjold has named the NortlicriiJiSahara. The cxpedi- tian has been equipped J at Christiania , Nor way , and will set out af once from Copenha gen , under tnu leadership of Mr. Nansen , the curator of the famous museum at Her- gun. A landing will bo made on the barren und forbidding custern'eoast ' , and thenceforth the watchword of ahe company will be , "Across the continontpr die. " At boat it will bo an arduous * aiid perilous tusk to traverse on foot TOO miles of eternal snow aud ice. Nor Is there much in the history of Grccnlandlu adventure to cnceur- aso these hardy voyagers. The in terior of this vast continent Is yet an unknown land. Indeed , it may not bo a continent at all. but an urchliuilago whose straits are perpetually ice-looked. Prof. Nordenskjold , at the extreme point reached by him in 133 , saw two ravens ( lying north ward , mid from this was led to believe that an open e.i existed in that direction ; and lie also thought it probable that the interior of Greenland was for hundreds of miles free from snow in thc'summcr time and clad with primeval forests. General Grooly has also been quoted as a supporter of this theory The more general and reasonable belief Is that an unbroken uud nearly level plain of snow nnd Ice extends from sen to sea. Not only will the troth or falsity of these theories bo doHennlnod by the success of Mr. Nan- sen's expedition , but It may bo that further trace * of the Vikings will como to Hunt , llko the Hnnlc inscriptions found In lS24ribnr Upornavik. Certainly there will bo much to ndd to the world's stock of knowledge concerning - corning the arctlo regions In the note-books of the scientists who shall make their way through the heart of this white continent. * Amid the almost universal dcslro to do honor to the dead otnporor of Germany throughout his domains there Is n feeble dis cordant noto. Ono of these potty princes whoso names are rarely hoard on this side of the occnn has refused to grant n single square foot of ground for this p.urnoso. His name deserves lo bo remembered ; ho Is the prince of Luppo-Dotmold. This incident Is a strik ing proof that the spirit of particularism , which monns regard for one's own province as more important than the whole empire , has n strong hold on the German mind. The national Idea is slow In taking root and ripen ing. Tlio little prince's exhibition of spleen has been mndo of no account by the gift of a private park , so that tuo oinperor may bo duly honored , * * The little flurry of excitement over the re port of n pending quarrel between Franco and Italy has died out. It is , of course , pos sible that either of thcso two governments might be foolish and wicked enough to treat n matter of passing difference In a way to make war Inevitable , but it is to the lost degree - groo improbable. The only serious causes of disagreement between them nro the chronic war of tariffs that has been going on since the treaty of commerce was abandoned , nnd their common desire for Influence In northern Africa , where the French policy toward Tunis has made Italy very sore nnd Jealous. But both tbcso causes have existed for sev eral years , and there Is no moro reason now than there has been to fear a rupture. * * The Grand Duke of Baden has been grand pacificator at Berlin. During the last month ho has negotiated between the empress ami crown prlnco and between her iriajosty and the chancellor , nnd it Is mainly owing to his interference , which tins been marked throughout byt great tact , earnestness , nnd good feeling , that the Emperor Frederick has been able to arrange his private affairs to his cntiro satisfaction. The Grand Duchess of Bidcn will ultimately Inherit nearly JE1,500OM from her father nnd mother , as well ns the beautiful scliloss and park of Babclsburg , near Potsdam , This huge for tune was intended for the late Prince Ludwig - wig of Baden , but tlio bulk of it will now pass to the crown princess of Sweden on the doalh of her parents , as the hereditary Prince of Baden is rich , thanks to his mar- ri.ipo with Princess Hilda of Nassau , nnd bo docs not need assistance. < r All Settled.
