NKIIUASKA hus begun lighting the bonfires of enthusiasm , which will burn through the Olh of November for Iliirri- Eoii and Morton. A JIKTKOK dropped in the streets of Now York and exploded with a terrible rouort. That was the first shot fired in the btato for Harrison and Morton. A \iix of natural { jus was btruck near St. Louis. It is , however , nothing- more nor less than the overflow of exuber ance from the democratic convontion. I.V completing the construction of their Twentieth street , line the Cable company is to be congratulated. The company has fulfilled Ha obligations in the face of great obstacles , and will now reap the reward ot its labors. WITH the district court complaining at neglect of the city attorney and the police court scolding tit the absence of the assistant city attorney from his post , interested parties are inquiring , ' 'Whither are wo drifting ? " only to hear the answer in the winds. Mi : . TmruM.VX's speech of accept ance to the formal notification of his nomination was longer than that nindq by Mr. Cleveland to the democratic committee. But then it was to bo ex pected that the brains of the kangaroo ticket would have iomothing to say. still they como. The next facs- sion of the Ancient Order of United Workmen will bo hold in Omaha in 18&9. It w.is wholly through the efforts of the Nebraska delegates that the honor was conferred on this city. The fact may bo commented upon hero , as anywhere else , that no matter in what trade or business our citizens may bo employed , or what diverse interests may separate them at home , they are tit nil times and in all places loyal to the lio&t interests of Omaha. FOKTY-KIOHT years ago the following doggerel nwopt over the country after lie Maine election in September : 9 , hnvo you hoiinl Iho news from Maine , How she went hell bent , For Governor Kent , Anil Tlppccanou and Tyler too I Maine again has been heard from through her favorite son , and her vote will bo no less uncertain for 15on Ilar- ribon in November than it was for his illustrious grandfather in 1810. IT is a pretty state of allnirs if Omaha mubt spend thousands of dollars this summer to repair defects Jn city work caused by dishonest or negligent con tractors. At least a half do/on serious breaks in the bowers have been discov ered during the past few days duo to poor work. Uoforo the end ol the year , it ib safe to say , much mure defective ) construction will make itself evident. It therefore becomes tlio plain duty of the bower and plumbing inspectors to place the re ponnibllily of fraudulent and faulty work on the parties reapon&l.- bio for it. A few examples will have a salutary elicit. It is the only uafoguard the city can have in insuring honesty in Its public works. Tliu general managers of western railroiulb are endeavoring to obtain a modification of the rates established by the Iowa railway commissioners. An increase of the freight tariil ha al ready boon inndo. IJut a ttill further concession is nskod for. It is evident , however , that the btato board has mot the general managers more than half way. A greater change in the schedule would bo doing the people of lown an injustice , and a halt has been called. The now tarilT sheet Is to go into olTcct July 5. To this the railroads have raised a general protest. They are circulating the report that if the commissioners refuse to c-hange the proposed rates and order them to bo put into force on the date fixed , the rail roads will make a fight and tcbt the le gality of the commissioners' action. On the face of it , the threat ib moro blult to and the Iowa commibsionors will not bo rlghtolicd by any such demonstration. Close of tJic Fl cnl \ > nr. The current fiscal year of the govern ment close's with to-Tiny. Next wcdk tlio Covernnjent 'will begin disbursements on nccount of the new fiscal your , ? o far i" appropriations have boon made. Hut owing to the delay in the house of rep- rosontutlves , or moro properly on the i nrt of the appropriations committee of Llmt body in reporting bills , the new fiscal year will begin without a number of the npproprintionswhieh should have been made by this timo. This state of affairs may not neces sarily interfere with Iho business of the government , but it will prevent a con siderable amount of money from going out of the treasury which is looked for at this time. The July disbursements are important , and when not forthcom ing in the usual volume other interests , if not those of the government , sutler. Complaint regarding the dllatorlncss of the house appropriations committees is not now. It was hoard at every bcssloti of the last two congresses , and it lias been apparent for some time that it wns certain to bo heard again. Hitherto the whole responsibility for delay rested with Mr. Randall , but the house having /wo years ago given toother committees , lmn that of which Mr. Knndall is the head the duty of preparing sev eral of the appropriation bills , the re sponsibility is now divided. The purpose In making the change was to expedite this most important part of the work of the house , but the delay has been greater since than before the change. Politics has moro or less to do with Lho way in which the majority in the house trifles and delays in this matter of appropriations. At every session there is scheming to throw the respon sibility for largo appropriations upon the fconalo. At a Into day bills are bent to the upper body which nro inadequate , tlio senate supplies the required amend ments , and bo far as these are accepted Ijy the house the responsibility for any appearance of extravagance is thrown on the senate. This practice of the dem ocratic schemers , by which they at tempt to got a cheap reputation for economy in appropriations , has boon boveral times rebuked in the senate , and two years ngo prominent members of that body urged the policy of approv ing appropriation bills just nb they came from tlio house , so that if deficits re sulted by which the business of the government would suffer the house would bo responsible. The proposition , however , did not receive general ap proval and the democratic practice is maintained. The incapacity of the democratic party to deal wisely with public affairs , as well as its readiness to subordinate- every thing to considerations of partisan advantage , are in no matter moro strik ingly shown than in the course pursued by the representatives of the party in congrebs with respect to appropriations. Mr. Clovclanil's Solf-As tirniicp. The address of Mr. Cleveland to the committees which notified him of his nomination shows more strongly than any of his previous utterances the bclf- assurance of the man. Evidently he wns never before quite so full of him self ns ho is at this timo. Having most successfully brought the tlcmocratic party to his feet , and made it the un questioning instrument of his ambition , Mr. Cleveland lias apparently convinced himself that ho has been a saviour , with out whose wisdom and patriotism there was great danger that tlio whole fabric of our political institutions would have tumbled into ruin. Thibbelf-buflicicnt potentate of democ racy talked arrogantly of what ho. had accomplished in restoring the executive olllco to its true relations to the people , from which it had drifted under his predecessors. This astute statesman discovered that the office had "become n perversion of nil it ought to bo" and had been loosened from its moorings , and thereupon ho set about the great task of putting it again in the right trad ; . Could belf-assiiranco go beyond this1 The men guilty of perverting the executive olllco wore Lincoln , Grant , Hayes , Garfield and Arthur. What will the American people think of sucli an allegation , coming from such a source:1 Who is there that will not regard as supremely ridicu lous the assumption of Grover Cleveland that it remained for him to jrivo the executive olllco its true character , restore it to closer relations with the people , and administer it "in full sympathy with their wants and needs. " If there IIIIH been a president who kept himself moro remote from the people than Mr. Cleveland has done wo Imvo no knowledge of him. Uoforo his marriage ho was moro oxeltisivo than any European monarch , ana there was never a president who found so few op portunities us lie to learn by association tlio wants and needs of the peoplo. The executive oillco has become moro dilll- cult of approach since it has been occu pied by Mr. Cleveland than is any ruler in ISuropo , a fact bo well attested that nobody who knows anything about it would presume lo tieny it. Mr. Cleveland had his eyes opened , nl.-o , to the bitterness of partisan ob struction. Tills referred cliiolly to the icfubiil of the senate to promptly con firm everybody whom Mr. Cleveland has bought to foist upon tlio puhlln service. A conspicuous instance of this sort ol obit ruction was furnished in the ca of .lustico Lamnr , and the loyal t-ontimonl of the country will not agree with Mr. Cleveland that it was a rooklot-.s 01 bhamolcbs obstruction. On the whole wo think it cnn bo conclusively shown that the partisan obstruction which the president deplores has been very necessary and extremely usoful. It is impossible to say what might hnvo boon thd damaging consequences quences if it had not been o.xorciscd. Obviously , Mr. Cleveland has the full est possible faith in himself nnd ho is frank in declaring it. Hut ho is likely to learn next November that the people are not similarly impressed with his rauntuil virtues. Tlui Fourth of.Iuly Cclelmiliou. Special efforts made by the general committee having the Fourth of July exorcises in hand for a grand celebra tion , nro on a scale never before at- tonrptcd in Omaha. The magnificence of last year's celebration is suid to bu nothing Jn comparison with the wh'ieh will bo mnclo on the coining fourth. Fully 10.000 ihcji will bo In lliio of parade , wliich will include1 num erous floats and barges representing the \ris , the tvrulog nnd historical subjects. Tito programme it the fnlr grounds will embrace fill kinds of athletic sport1' , while the exhibition of fireworks will bo the finest over given In the city. The liberal rates offered by the rnll- roads to Omaha assures an attendance of at least 10 , ( > 0i ) to l-j,0K ! ) stranger * . While the Knights of Labor and the trades unions are assuming PO great a financial responsibility for the bonotlt of everybody , it is the duty of our citi zens to encourage these organizations in their efforts to score a success. It is somewhat strange , therefore , that sub scriptions have not come in as liberally as they should. The individual contri bution * which have boon pledged must bo collected In order that the societies in charge of the rclobration may carry out every feature of their varied exercises. Till : sweeping rcilAction in freight rates just made by the now "Soo" route from Itoston to St. Paul , has opened the ciosof competing lines to what low figures a railroad can legitimately carry freight at a pioilt. For example , the "Soo" has made a rate of GO cents per hundred pounds on Jlrst class freight , all rail from Hoston to St. Paul. This is a cut from 1)1 ) cents , the rate now in force on all other lines to the same des tination. In consequence not only the eastern trunk lines but the trans-Mis souri roads to the Pacific are ullcctcd. It is claimed the "Spo's" rate not only makes the lowest possible rate to St. Paul from the eastern seaboard , but also reduces the freight tarilt to the Pa cific coast via the Canadian Pacific. As a result , the railroads are in a quandary whether to meet the ' 'Soo's" figures or not. There is , of course , the usual cry that such a reduction is ruinous. But , somehow , railroads always manage to moot the cuts of rivals and prosper. If such a swooping change in the tariil sheet of freight rales had been ordered by a state railroad commission , what a hullabaloo would bo raised by every railroad in the country. Tin ; entevjn'Uc of a number of promi nent citi/.ons in setting on foot the project of a palace of products must be backed up by our business men and citi zens in general. The scheme can not be allowed to drop. It-has already been heralded through the state and country that Omaha will inaugurate a festival which will bo the wonder of the wo&t. Sioux City , encouraged by the success of her corn palace last year , has re doubled her energies for a grand dis play this fnM. In order that Omaha may equal the excellence expected of her and surpass the elTorts made by other cities in like celebrations , our citizens must unit o heartily in the en terprise. No man can stand back. Suc cess depends on immediate and united action , and like cabling bread upon the waters , the returns for efforts now put forth will come back multiplied a hun dred fold. Attend the meeting this af- on. A xrMiiu ; of years , after Levi P. Morton failed in the dry goods business , lie invited his creditors to u dinner and presented each one with a check for the amount of his indebtedness. In 1SSO when Ireland was appealing to America for food , Levi P. Morton fitted out at his own expense the ship Constellation with bread and meat and sent it to .starving Ireland. That is the kind of a man the republican party has nominated for vice president. IN their hurry to print the first pic tures of the republican nominees , many newspapers arc under the suspicion of using cuts of Blaine and Hayes to rep resent Harrison , while likenesses of Arthur with flowing side whiskers , and Tilrtcn smooth shaven have been pressed into service to represent Morton. Who says composite photography is not a suc cess' ; ? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Other IjimilH Than Ours , It is evident Unit even the tory government is convinced of the necessity of changing the composition of tliu Uritish house of lords , Imt it does not propose to go BO far ns tlio i .id- icals. The innovations whk.li it proposes to establish go fur to bliow how glaring arc the abuses of the present body. It has now bomo , r > SO member. * . The average attendance is not over sixty , but as a mombur cnn send in his vote by pioxy , the number counted is nlwnjs respectable on any interesting vote. Of this MO , probably four-fifths arc well- meaning gentlemen of average capacity ; the other pait is about evenly divided between men of teal calibre and snino of the worst scalawags in the empire. Thuso latter do not often attend , but they send in their votes. The new blood put into the upper house has of late years been elderly men ot means , who have bcoa serviceable to the then government. The morals of the upper liouso liuvo improved in the hulf century Just past. Its mental power has not appi cciabl.changed. . The programme proposed by Lord Salisbury is a moderate ono. Fiist , ho would do nwny with the baser fellows by giving the liouso power of expulsion , which it does not now jiiivo Once u peer always u poor , is the pros- cut rule , nnd no matter how gross their con duct or how criminal their actions , they are still Jawmulccis , Coitainly the power of purging itself bhould bo granted the louls , nnd that , too , without Lord Salisbury's plan that the ministry at will may restore this adisgracod nioinuor. Another fuiUmo which ho would have is u system of life peers , created from men of brains , and not necessarily wealthy , IIo would limit their number to fifty , not more than five to bii cu-ated in a year. The ulou is to infuse now life into this eminently sluggish body , but the slow way in which Lord Salisbury proposes to do it imilu-s it look as If ho wished to give mi apparent icform without making much real uhango In the absolutely buio movement towaui popularising the lieicdi- tary branch In the British government , It is noticeable that the tory leader is at length a convert and realizes that the step must suon come. The sooner ho proposes the expulsion of the black sheen who now have the right to sit on Its benches the lens radical some of the other pending innovations may be. * * * An agitation in favor of homo I ulo has been started in Scotland. The demands of those In the movement are that Scotland should have u fair representation in parlia ment according to her population and po sition ; that , In addition , bho should Imvo a legislature of her own and uu executive government sitting in Scotland with full con trol ovorn'l purelj Scotch Questions ; and that SuotUir.d , thioufih her cxcuuli\c government , should liaro the nppolntlnpr nnd control of judges rivd scrvnjits nml other oflhi.ils , ex ccpt thuio cnffneed in the military , n.nvnl nnd diplomatic services nnd in collectingllio Im Ill-rial it-venue It is the federal pilnrinlo they wish to. ostablMi , a national parliament and"an imperial parliament overall. Wwt the Scotch homo rulers pro pose is to nniko d their country n common wealth modeled almost exactly on the plan of an American state. There is no hint of op- nrntion from Knplaml. Scotland is fttlll to send members to the Imperial parliament sitting In London. The nimy , the navy , Im post duties , relations with foreign countries all thc o nro to remain under the absolute control of queen , lords nnd commons. But the thousand and one details of domestic gov ernment are to bo managed for Scotland In Scotland by Scotchmen.n . The speech of the now German emperor in the reichatag was in very much the same spirit as that by which his addresses to the army nnd navy were chnrnctorircd nnd ani mated. It is true thnt Its te\t is more la boriously nnd ostentatiously nacltlc. In sen tences which probably found their inspira tion in the wisdom nnd experience of 1'rlnco Bismarck , William II announces his icsolu- tlon to maintain pence with every ono so fai ns it lies in his power , nnd there Is no teason to doubt the sincerity of his resolution. Ills speech , however , like nil speeches delivered under similar conditions , Is to bo judged less by the specific statements it contains than by its tone and general tenor , and no ouo who rends It with Intelligence and attention can fall to note the absolutism thnt breathes through every line of it. It is the path of Ins giunilfnther , the sturdy and uncompromising believer in the divine right of kings , the very Incarnation of autocracy , that the young emperor is deter mined to pursue. A paternal , not a constitu tional government , a despotism modilled by benevolence , represents his idea ol the Im perial oflU-e , nnd it is this idea which ho will hcnd his energies to icali/e. As for the lib- cud pi ejects in the direction of constitutional liberty cnteitallied and as far na possible car ried out by his father , ho seems not to huvo thought them woithv of n word. Ho means to be a king who shall govern as well asicipn , and lilto a second Caimto ho can bo heard say ing to the rising tide of democracy : "Ik-re shall thy proud waves bo stajcd. " Thus ho puts himself in direct opposition to the spirit of the nge , and the danger is that he may presently Iliul lluiscll | driven by the ex igencies of his position and his environment to some disastrous use of the military force in which ho places his trust. # * * The Boulangcr bubble seems to have been completely punctutcd by the ridiculous fiasco made in the French chamber of deputies by the man at whoso name statesmen shud dered not many weeks ago. The accounts of the occasion which reached this country by cable are fully confirmed. Not only was Boulnnger's demand for an Immediate re vision ot the coinitution and a dissolution of the chamber icfiiscd by : i vote of 1ST in favor to 377 against , but the valiant lioio of the hustings was incontinently laughed at when he mntlo his speech , which over.x bodj seems to admit tojiavo been phenomenally Ruble There uro i good many people in l uropo nnd America who can point to the icstilt of'taking Boulangcr out of the mys tery in which riixumstanccs hud enveloped him and placing him in the hurly-burly of actual affairs , and hay "I told you so. " * * * It is reported that a foimidablo rebellion has broken out iimong the people made des titute bv the floods in the Clunc.su provinces of Ilonon and Shantung The province of Honan contains some ! S,000OUO ) people , and the province of Shantung homo 123)0 ( ) > ) , UO' ) , so if any considerable part of the popululiinof these two pi evinces has revolted the alTan may bo a very serious ono for the Chinese government. No definite cause is assigned for the rebellion , but anyone having even a desultory knowledge of China and its meth ods will not be at u loss to llnd lousons. It will 1m remembered that the Hoods in China some months ago caused a terrible loss of lifo and awful destitution among the survivors , many of whom weio left absolutely without food or clothing or shelter of any kind. To aid the sulTciers the Chinese government made considerable giants ol money from the public ticusur.v and the em peror gave quite liberally from his private purse. But theie arc so many intermediaries between the emperor and the people , so many officials between the treasury unil the sufferers from the Hoods , that it is moro than likely that the money intended for the i cliff fund cover reached the people whom it should have ucncfUtccl , or , if it did , it had been looted so many times that not enough was left to bo of any service. If this bo the true state of the case , as is not at nil unlikely , a ready icason is found foi the rebellion in the distressed provinces of Ilonan and Shantung. * * * Tin : rumor that n "white pasha , " with n large force of men , is pushing his way tliiough the A ft lean equatorial provinces if it shall piovo to be line. , will prob.iblj bo found to lofer to Stanley. Gencial Gordon's death was too well authenticated to lead to the hope that he is .still alive , without taking into consideration the time that has elapsed since the massacre at Khartoum. Stanley , on the other hand , may have succeeded in piercing the ciicle of danger drawn iiround Emlii. Bey and bo makincr his way toward the coast. The iclief committee in London holds this opinion , and also inclines to the belief that the leccnt icpoits as to Stanley's desertion by his followers and his ciitical position are but an amplification of similar rumors which were received in May hist. It is to 1)0 hoped that some ofliciul information will soon end the anxiety which is felt us to the fate of the daring explorer. STATi : AM > TKimiTOUY. NVlunsu.i Joltings.
