IT WAS , perhaps , ju&t as well that no
quorum was present at the council
mooting to ti minuet business.
n CHAIRMAN DUICI : is in n quandary
einco Ilonry Watlorson won't tnke
charge of the democratic bureau of the
northwest. A live man is badly
ncodcd to rally the disheartened demo
crats of Ihn-t section.
WITHOUT rollocUng upon the motives
of the beautiful young actress who goes
to Florida to nurao yellow fever stitror-
ors , it mny bo aakod whether this is the
latest fad among the profession in
which to ijot free advertising ?
Tin : pumpkin pie which Chauncey
Dopew and his "granger" friends so
hilariously discussed on the return of
the railroad magnate from Hitropo , was
most appropriate to tlio occasion. It
recalled the republican banquet at Chicago
cage when Mr. Dopow was served with
a big dish of granger chalT and straw.
LKVI P. MORTO.V , like Grover Cleve
land , has contribute ! money for a pur
pose during the present campaign.
Hut while Mr. Cleveland's ten thousand
dollars was sent to the national democratic
cratic- committee , Mr. Morton's cheek
for twelve thousand dollars goes to as
sist tbo yellow fever snlTerors in Flor
ida. Jt is indeed true : "Money talks. "
WIIKN Governor Director Savage
stated that Omaha had nothing but a
verbal agreement with the Union Pa
cific with regard to transfer and depot
facilit'es ho was alllicted with a lapse of
memory. It is a good many years ago ,
to bo sure , since that compact was made ,
but to the best of our recollection the
late law firm ol Savage & Manderson
vras employed In drawing up the papers
between the trustees , acting for the
city , and the officers of the Union Pacific -
cific railroad company. '
Tin : roster of the Grand Army of the
Republic , according to the report of
Commandor-in-Chiof Ttea , submitted at
the reunion at Columbus , shows a mem
bership of over three hundred and
ninety-live thousand , two hundred and
forty-live. During the past twelve
months the organization expended in
oharity two hundred and llftcon thou
sand , nine hundred and ovonty-fivo
dollars. It is safe to assort that there
are very few men who fought in the
union army who nro not members of this
grand brotherhood of veterans.
Tine Canadians last year spent ono
hundred and four thousand live
hundred dollars on their coast guard
service to keep American fishermen
from casting their nets in Canadian
watora. In return for this expenditure
the Canuks can show up two seine boats
valued at two thousand dollars captured
from Gloucester fishermen. At this rate
it wouldn't take Canada long to pile up
a mountain of debt bigger than the
Canadian Pacific subsidy , and all on
account of a little codfish which the
Yankees somolimf's pull In within the
three mile limit.
Now that the house has passed a bill
that clearly and forcibly defines the
right of every state and territory to
regulate railway trafllu within its bor
ders , whether the railroads wore char
tered by congress or acquired
their franchises through local legis
lation , Congressman Dorsoy's ap-
pondiigo to the Outhwalto bill has
become superfluous. This harmless lit
tle amendment was tacked on chiefly
for the benefit of congressmen who
wanted an oxeuso for supporting the
Pacific railroad funding bill. This
subterfuge being no longer available ,
the supporters of the scheme tolognli/o
the Credit , Mobolior debt and inflated
elock of the Paoillo roads will have to
show their hand.
SICXATOU PAYNK , of Ohio , foun d oc
casion a few days ago to repeat a former
statement that ho had never had any
business rolationti with the Standard
Oil company , and had nbvcr received
any iarvioo from It. Possibly this is
literally true , but it is also true that
prominent members of that company
wore most active In promoting Mr.
Pnyno's senalorlil candidacy , that they
worked untiringly and spent money
laylshly in hisbehalf , and that but for
their assistant it is more than probable -
blo that Allan 0. Thurmnn would now
flll the sent In the Bonnto occupied by
Mr. Payne. This chapter in the political
history of the domooratto senator from
Ohio ho will never bo tvllo' to blot out.
A Knlllifiil Itepresentntlvo.
In the house of representatives on
Thursday Mr. Andernon , of Iowa , Intro-
dttced several important amendments
to the intcr-sttito commerce law , intended -
tended to extend tlio powers of the commission -
mission and to give the people n hotter
opportunity to roach the corporations
for violations of the law. Ono of those
amendments provides that In all civil
actions and proceeding ? under the interstate -
tor-state act state courts of competent
jurisdiction shall have concurrent jurisdiction -
isdiction with federal courts. Another
amendment authorized and requires
the commission to pro-tcribo for the
iibo and guidance of common
carriers in making their ached-
ules of rates and charges for
transportation of persons and properly
uniform classification , all rates and
charges not in conformity with such
classification to bo regarded as unroas-
onublc , and the failure of common car-
piers to comply ns an unlawful act.
These amendments were adopted by
the house and they are obviously wise
and just.
Mr. Anderson was elected from the
Eighth congressional district of Iowa
asa t-qbulro to the corporation burvlludo
of his predecessor , W. 1' . Hepburn , and
the faith the people reposed in him has
boon fully justified by his conduct in
congress. No man in that body has
been more vigilant and faithful -
ful in watching and guarding -
ing the interests' of the peo-
pie , while his energy and ability in
furthering just and nocmsar.y logisla-
lion to protect the rights of the public
against the aggressions and
of the corporations have commanded
deserved robpeet. There ought to be
no question regarding hif re-election ,
A representative who has so fully o.stab-
lished his usefulness and fidelity it is
the duty of a constituency to reward by
the renewed expression of its conli-
donee. Men of this class nro by no
means the rule in congress , and those
who tire so fortunate as to bo ropro-
sontcd by such a one are wise to retain
his services. Wo have no doubt the
people ol the Eighth Iowa district tin-
orotand this , and that Mr. Anderson
vill be re-elected by an increased ma-
ority. _ _ „ „ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hewitt Indicts Tammany.
Mayor Hewitt of New York , has been
itterly something of a thorn in tlio
emocralic flesh. There is no question
egarding his devotion to old-time
emocratie principles. No member of
, ho party fought more vigorously or
mlhintly than ho for its ascendancy
uring the long years in which it re-
leatedly encountered popular repudia-
ion. In congress ho was a loader ,
rusted as few others wero. In the na-
ional contests ho hold a commanding
poiition , giving generously of his labor
: ind his wealth. The national ndmtnis-
ration , to the election of which ho con-
ributcd ni much as any other ono man ,
gnorod him as soon ns it was installed
n power. It was a conspicuous case of po-
itieal ingratitude , and Hewitt has not
'orgotlou it. His voice is not heard
Tying out as from the housetops in be-
lalf of Cleveland's ro-olection.
When Mr. Hewitt determined not to
oturn to congress , the divided and
despairing democracy of New York
City , looking about for an available
candidate for the mayoralty , appealed to
lim to save the party from threatened
lofeat. Ho yielded upon conditions
hat would enable him to administer the
nlTairs of the city free from the dicta-
ion of the politicians , and the Tam-
nany and County democracy having
mrmonizod , Hewitt was elected.
ilo has insisted upon performing
iis duties according to his convic
tions of right , and of what was for the
best interests of the city and its people.
Ho has endeavored to bo straightfor-
, vard and honest , and it is certain that
the scheming and unscrupulous politi-
ticians have not controlled him. Ho
ias undoubtedly made mistakes , but on
the whole has given Now York City a
clean and creditable administration.
For this Mr. Hewitt has the hostility
of Tammany , which is bringing all its
> ewer to boar against his renomination.
It is the strongest democratic organiza
tion in the country , and if it has de
termined to prevent the ronomination
of Hewitt it will probably do so. But ho
has the courage to fight it and is
said to have declared his inten
tion to do this. lie will run
Against any candidate Tammany may
nominate , and in giving his reasons for
this proposed action lie says that the
policy of that political organ i/.ution
'means corruption in olllco and the re
newal of the worst days of Tweed. "
This indictment by a sterling demo
crat of the most powerful democratic
body in the nation merits the attention
of the country. For nearly or quite
half a century this organisation has
been the bulwark of democracy in Now
Yorlc , and during four-fifths of that
time It has been actuated by the same
motives which Mr. Hewitt de
clares control it to-day. Tweed
was a natural product of Tam
many , and after a period of compara
tive honesty succeeding the downfall of
that monumental public robber it is
now declared by a foremost democrat
that this organization , upon which the
democracy of Now York and the nation
so greatly depend for the election of
the state and national tickets , is sunk
again Into the depths of political de
pravity whore Tweed loft it. This per
nicious power has been courted by thT
democratic candidate for the presi
dency , and ho cannot bo elected without
its help. Two years ago it professed a
bitter and relentless opposition to him.
How has ho secured Its dupport'unlobs
by pledges that it shall have all the
share of the spoils that it may demand in
the event of his re-election V Judged by
the character Mr. Hewitt gives it , it
would make no other arrangement.
What will honest democrats think of
the evident compact between 'Mr.
Cleveland and the political organiza
tion of which It Is said by a loading
democrat that no man can have its sup
port "who does not pledge himself to
fill certain offices wlih certain men ' ( "
'I ho Milk In Ttmt Coconunt.
It was a maxim of Tallyrand that lan
guage was given to man to conceal his
thoughts. This motive , donbtljss , in
spired Mr. Charles Francis Adams In
ascribing the failure of the Union Fuelo
lie to cruet its often-promised Omaha
passenger depot , to a shortage of moans ,
Every well-Informed person known that
the projected depot la to bo built by a
union depot company nnd paid for out
of the proceeds of bonds to bo issued in
the same manner as wore the Union
Puclllo bridge bonds years ago. The
Interest on thcso bonds nnd n sinking
fund to redeem them at maturity would
accrue from the annual ran till , payable
by each of the riillroids that are to
have part in the depot accommodations.
The Untoh I'aoillo would have no moro
to pay tluiii its proportion of such rental ,
The passage of the funding bill nnd the
conduct of the Nebraska railroad coinl
mission can in no way ulToct the
union dupot project so long us
there is an abundance of money
in Iltmncinl control ready for
investment in bitch gilt-edge securities.
The true inwardness of the policy of the
Union Pacific is the desire nnd design
to continue the exorbitant bridge-tolls.
The union depot would of course compel
the Union P.u'illc to onon the roadway
across the river to all roads at u
rate that would merely yluld fair inter
est on the actual cost and estimated
wear and tear of the bridge.
There is the milk in the eoeoannt ,
which Mr. Adams has ingoniou ly con
cealed. From Tom Sjotl to Adams the
presidents of the Union J'lvcillo have
always sought to keep Omaha out of
proper ttvilllo and transfer facilities
with the solo aim and object to coin
enormous sums out of the highway
man's toll-gate at the Missouri ri\vr.
Millions have boon wrung out of the
pcoplo of this city and section by the
bridge-toll collector within HIP put
fifteen years. The bridge has piid for
itself three or four times over , oven
counting the million dollar steal in its
original construction and the eojt of its
recent rebuilding. Hut Mr. Adiimi ,
like nis predecessors , Htill persists in a
policy that falls little short ot down
right robbery of patrons , inexcusably
discommodes the traveling public und
is an embargo on Omaha's tr.vlllo and
commercial growth.
These arc plain truths which cannot
bo gainsaid by any amount of drivel
concerning the Nebraska railroad com
mission or the funding bill.
"Colonel MIohaoN oi'Om ih.i "
In those piping times of poueo ifo man
can live at Washington without having
a military jug-handle attached to hi- ,
name. A spjuial dispitch from the
national capital announces that "Col
onel" Michaels , of Omaha , clerk of .Sen
ator Mandorson'-i civumittoo , has just
prepared an estimate on the cost of so.no
printing done at the instance of Senator
Chandler. The promotion of Mr.
Michaels from the ranks to a colonelcy
will be gratifying to his numerous au-
niirorsnml creditors in Nobr.iskn. The
gifted inventor of "Mr. Sampson
of Omaha , " who doubtless had
Colonel Michaels in his mind's eye
when ho portrayed the troub'es '
of the impecunious Bulgarian King ,
will bo delighted to know that Colonel
Michaels has at lust achieved renown at
the national capital. In Nebraska Mr.
Michaels was neither known as colonel ,
lieutenant colonel , major or oven drum
major. lie was plain Mr. Michaels , of
the horse marines. Although the col
onel hails from Omaha now , ho was
never known to reside in Omiha
more than twenty-four hours
at a time. If memory servos
us , ho was like Haldei-inan's
Louisville Bowling Green Nashville
Murfreesboro - Atlanta - Courier - on
Wheels. ' He resided at Fremont-Grand
Inland-North Platte about the same
time , prior to his discovery by Senator
Mandorson. The colonel may have a
design of settling permanently in
Omaha , but colonels are quite numer
ous and common in thoots parts , and
nothing less than a general or admiral
can count upon prominence among' the"
whippod-crenin of Omaha society.
Tnu Bun would suggest that Senator
M.indorson's clerk on printing climb
ono or two more rungs on the ladder of
fame before returning to his now home.
U is significance in the appeal
of certain democratic organs to the na
tional and camplign committees fora
more aggrossi * campaign. Those ed
itors understand , if the party managers
do not , that the political events of the
past two weeks are likely to have a de
cided influence in stimulating republi
can zeal and confidence , and that their
ollect is not to be nullified by more in
genious explanation , or such bombastic
claims as Mr. Brice has put forth. The
fact is apparent to everybody at all in
terested that the rank and file of the
democratic party are manifesting no
concern in the campaign. There is
loss interest and enthusiasm than was
shown In the Greoloy campaign. Fur
thermore the evidence is strong that
the party is losing ground whore it can
least allord such loss. The appeal to
Mr. Cleveland that brought his contri
bution was a distinct confession that the
party needed the moral as well as the
material assistance of the president , but
the indications are that it has had no
oiYoct. There is an absence of all the
requirements essential to tmcccss , and
the organs see that extraordinary effort
is nocosiiu-y to bo made at once. It is
indeed "a condition , and not a theory , "
that confronts the democracyand it op-
l > oara to bo growing harder and inoro
serious every day.
THE people of southwestern Colorado
nro very much disappointed "over the
failure of the Ute commission to make
a treaty with the Indians by which
they were to bo removed from Colorado
rado to Utah. The commissioners ap
pointed by the president for the pur
pose take a gloomy view of the pros
pects of inducing the Indians at present
to accept the government's proposition.
The failure is attributed to the counsel
of designing cattle mon , whoso interests
are opposed to the removal. In
many rospoots the negotiations with
these Colorado Indians resemble the
first attempt of the Sioux commission to
treat with the Indians of Dakota to sell
a part of their reservation. The Sioux
at Standing Rook -as persistently re
fused to accept the government's terms
as the Utoa of Colorado will not now
listen to the Ute commission. In both
instances thla unfriendly fooling was
encouraged by white mon on the res
ervations. , lt would seem , therefore ,
that the commissioners In both in
stances would jbo justified in dealing
Biimmnrllylvitu such while men whoso
evil counsel creates distrust in the
minds of tlvq Indians as to the Inten
tions of the government.
IlAinitOADS in Mexico have to con
tend with disastrous Hoods which sweep
away their tracks and bridges , cauxing
great damage and suspension of tratllc.
But they cheerfully accept the great
losses ctilulled on them annually in
preference to the suicidal policy adopted
by American roads to ruin each other
by > cut-throat competition.

The Hra7.lllau papers give satisfactory ac-
countfl of the working of the now law for the
total abolition of negro slavery in Dnm Pe
dro's empire. It is nearly seventeen years
since the adoption of the project for the
gradual emancipation of the lir.uihan slaves ,
whoso number was then given us nearly
l.BOO.OOO , but the operation" that project
was not according to the desire of tlio emperor -
ror , who , when ho visited tills country in 1S70 ,
was favorably impressed with the negro lib
eration In our soutlioi n Btsxtos. Three years
ago ho brought about the adoption of a meas
ure to hasten the progress of emancipation ;
but when ho realized that even tins would
continue the existence of slavery beyond 'ils
own lifetime , ho bucamo impatient to secure
a law which would put an end to the system
during his reign. While ho was absent in
Europe , from which ho has but recently re
turned , the deslrod measure was adopted by
the Hrazilmn parliament , and , with the
gathering of this year's coffee crop , all
the slaves of Hrazil are entitled to freedom.
The slaveholders receive no compensation
for the loss of their chattels , yet readily ac
cept the now order of things for which their
emperor has so long striven. It is learned
from the Hrazilian papers that the negroes
are jubljant over their emancipation , nnd
they participated in the grand ovation which
was given to the emperor upon his arrival in
Hlo do Janeiro. There has boon no disturb
ance of the public peace in nny of the prov
inccs of the empire. The great mats of the
negro workers on the plantations have given
evidence that they will continue at the labor
to which they have always been aooustomcd ,
and these who have been household servants
will do the same thing. In short , the reports
from all quarters are favorable. Horn Pedro
is to be congratulated upon the accomplish
ment of the great and noble object to which
ho has devoted his best efforts during the
whole of his rclgn , and upon the way in
which the froedmca have Justified his action.

The Sultan of Zanzibar , who under the In
fluence of the mingled threats and persua
sions of the Uuropenn powers has boon so
freely giving out territory nnd rights to
Germany , England , Italy and Portugal ,
finds that ho now has his own people to
reckon with. Not long ago the llaga of the
sultan and the German East Africa com'
piny wore hoisted sideby side and saluted
together at a dozen ports and more , denoting
that their administration had boon commit
ted to the latter company. The British
East Africa company has also obtained a
strip of coast ICO miles long. But when the
German company's oBloers and the Sultan's
troops attempted to laaa near , or at , Tonga ,
the Panganl natives resisted , and were only
driven oft by a force from n Gorman man-of-
war , which landed unaor fire. An English
gunboat has now gone thither , and the Bui-
tan i sending mora troops. Tha
truth ii that tbo Sultan has had little more
than a nominal authority on the mainland ,
except close to tlio coast , tUo flerco tribes In
the Interior doing about AS they pleased ,
Now tbo Germans and English will perhaps
rival cacti other In slaughtering tlio natives
in the great cause of civilization and com-
uicrco.

There 1ms for some tlino boon quite as
much feeling in nearly all the Australian col
onies against the Chinese ns there over was
in California. Uosldent Chinese have boon
mobbed , now-couiors have had to pay a head-
tax " of f50 , and the homo government has
been most urgently potltlo'nod to allow their
landing In the colonies to bo forbidden. Hut
England has treaties with China which will
not allow of this , sinceChlnoso on Hrltlsh
territory are guaranteed the snmo treatment
given Englishman In China , nnd the ministry
has boon sorely perplexed. Nov. ' the Chi
nese government has tukon action , tt or
dered , in view of those colonial discrimina

vinced that the only way they can protect

to bo seen whether tlio Cliinesu will hurry

Kcpoi U'apparently authentic continue to

hovoivl.v , both in mind and in boJy. Tlio

which in icality took place in eoiisii < iuciico of

cept iblo to the emperor , who desired to pro
mote his friend , Count Wnldcrneo , who is an
objo-'t of I'rinco LJhtnarck's deep aversion ,

It has been proved nt Hong Kong , Malacca ,
Gaboon , and many other places that a great
d al may bo done by sanitary art to turn the
most pestiferous spots into salubrious resi
dent districts. Tlio governor of Lagos , a
celebrated hotbed of malaria , writes that in
hh opinion the evil icputatlon of the place
limy bo ledecmed by extensive planting of
eucalyptus , bamboo nnd other quick-growintr
trees , which get nil of tlio supurlluous water
in the soil by rapid evaporation , which in
turn tends to cool the atmosphere. Uy this
simple means Dr. I ! ishnoll and others so fin-
improved tl > o climate of Gaboon that white
men have lived there many years in good
health. A few years ngo the explorer Bur
ton said white men simply could not live on
the lower Congo , n fallacy that is now amply
disproved. Stanley once called Uoma n pest
hole , but sanitarv improvements have done
so much for the pi ice that last jear about
thiity white men lived there in good health ,
and tbero was not a death among the
Europeans during the year.

The Afghan Ameer now has a rival in the
person of his cousin , Ishak Khan , who has
been proclaimed umeer in the northern p irt
of Afghanistan. Those cousins used to hobnob
neb toccthor when bet h were refugees under
the protection of Hussia , and together they
returned homo when England's unpleasant
ness with Shore All gave thorn a chance to
put themselves on top. ItOmk remained
north of tlio Hindoo Koosh , while Alxlur
linhmun went south and became ameer. It
ha long been suspected that the popular
Ishak wished to rule his northern provinces
in perfect Independence of Cabul. The
ameer decided a while ago that his cousin
needed attention , and so ho commanded him
to report ut Cabul. Ishak Khan , thinking
his head would bo safer if ho kept it north
of the mountains , sent a deputy , whoso head
was promptly chopped on" , and that was the
roil opening of hostilities. England will bo
on the tenterhooks till she discovers whether
an alleged now government on HusBia's
frontier will tempt that government to gob
ble up some more territory.

General Von Moliku is suid to have written
a letter in whicn the opinion is uxprcsboii
that if there should bo another war between
France and Germany the result would bo
more doubtful than It was in lb"0 , because
the opposing forces would bo much inoro
nearly equal. Whether or no tLo old Ger
man general made Mich a statement , it un
doubtedly contains much truth. General Le
Houof declared In 1870 that the preparations
for war wore so complete that there was not
oven a button absent from n French soldier's
gaiters , when the truth really was thatytho
armv woe disorganized , bailly drilled and
poorly equipped. But within the lust ten
years u remarkable change has boon effected ,
and , while the numerical strength of the
French army has been largely increased ,
yearly maneuvers have shown that Its efll
clency has been greatly added to ; so that the
venerable Von Moltlco may not bo far from
richt in assorting that any further contest
between Germany and France would bo a
battle between giants.

Few of the crowned heads of Europe have
been more fortunate than King Christian of
Denmark. Ono of his daughters Is Empress
of Hussia , and another IB likely to bo the
future Queen of England , while ono of his
sons is King of Greece nnd another is the
husband of the only daughter and heir of the
King of Sweden. And now his grandson , the
Crown Prince of Greece , Is to marry the
Prlncesss Sophie , sister of Emperor William.
If dynastic alliances could assure peace between -
tween nations , such widespread marital re
lationships would surely afford the necessary
guarantee.

Russia Is about to construct o railroad
through the basin of two Siberian rivers , the

strange that n country so eager for commer

crestly It would bo strengthened by tbo
adoption Of a form of constitutional govern
ment. Its immense agricultural wealth , nnd
the communication Which it enjoys with
European ports nnd with tbe rich districts of
central Asia , ought to niflkO IJussia the
leading commercial nation of EuropO.

Colonel Cliirlc OUT , the noted west

called on tlio minister to pay their re

"I'm very Ferry , " said bo , "that I
can't tfivo you nny tickets to the liouso

Tbo Americans didn t want nny tick
ets , and tried to talk ubout something

"Wo came to pay our respects to you
personally and officially ; that's all. J5o-
liovo us , wo don't euro for the tickets.
Wo have already been supplied with
tickets by an inlluential friend of ours
hero in London. "
This excited the minister's curiosity ,
lie wanted to know , without any unnec
essary exhibition of vulgar interest ,
who this influential person was who
scorned to bo HO much more important
than Edward J. Pholps. After some
hesitation ho asked.
