The price for putting o metropolitan airs comes high , but Sout Omaha is bound to keep up with th .procession , cost what it may. Jonx CniXAMAJf has already adopte n policy of retaliation against the Chi ncsc exclusion law. He has boycottei -certain articles of American produc tion , which will prove a hardship to number of Chinese merchants in thi country. John is certainly Icarnini the ways of ttio Molican man. p Two thousand detectives have beoi t R purred ou by the heavy rewards olTorei by the republican national comruittoi to watch for democratic frauds in th registration of votes in Now York Citj fir. Cleveland's friends in Now Jorso , in consoo.uence will not be so anxious t cast their votes this fall in the Empir state. WHOM will the Hascall democrat scratch on the democratic sonatorla ticket ? They have certainly agreed t 'lead ono man to the slaughter. Th packing house democrats with Rottoti 'Pavement Jim at the head have swor vengeance on Paston , but Hascall's ai cessions from that quarter will bo mor than offset by republicans who are nc disposed to place a firebrand on th Douglas delegation. SOUTH OMAHA is fortunate in recoil Ing a premium on her refunding bond' But all is not gold that glitters. Th refunding bonds represent an qyorln transformed into a mortgage.

Tlioy should be dubbe honest when their terms have expire and their account * have been approve ATf liVJWSCRK/n DWLOMAT. AH n departure from tlio straight and trlct lines of diplomatic proprieties , ho lettoi' of the British minister to this ountry , Lord Sackvllle West , advising n American citizen of English birth low ho should vqto In the impending lection , was a very grave indiscretion. Jcgplte the opinion of Secretary llay- rd that the matter Is not OIIQ of which he government can properly take olllc- til notice , because the letter was prl- ntcwo venture to say that Ours i ? the only government on earth that would illow such Intermeddling In Us polit- cal affairs by a foreign am- xissador without making at east a protest , mid wo lo not believe any other administration inco the foundation of the government vould have regarded the matter as the ) rcsent administration appears from , ho views of the secretary of state to regard it. The absurdity of tlio atti- udo of Mr. Uayard must bo apparent o every intelligent man , particularly lis plea that the appeal to the British ninlsterwasa scheme to entrap him. "Jrantlng that such was the case , and ho minister professes to believe that ho vill be able to establish that it wns so , t will simply servo to moro emphati cally demonstrate how strong Knglish sympathy is with the democratic cause. Minister West is not an amateur n diplomacy. Ho fully under stands its obligations and its pro- irioties , and the only reasonable explanation of his extraordinary viola tion of these in this casn is his profound concern for democratic success in the coming election. It is not for a mo- nent to bo supposed that were ho indif- 'ercnt as to the result ho would have written su'jh a letter , the authenticity of which he frankly acknowledges. But there Is something moro to this .cttor . than its impropriety , as Secretary Uayard modestly calls it , in advising an American citizen how ho should vote. It discloses a degree of confidence in the friendly disposition of the administra tion toward England and Knglish in terests which must have home surer foundation than the wisher or hope of the British min ister. Ho informs his correspondent that the party in power is fully aware ol the fact that "any political party which openly favored the mother country at the present moment would 'lose popu larity , " that while the party In power is desirous of maintaining friendly rela tions with Great Britain , and of settling all questions with Canada , "all allow ance must bo made for the political sit uation as regards the presidential elec tion thus created , " and the minister thinks there is every reason to believe that Mr. Cleveland will "manifest a spirit of conciliation in dealing with the questions involved in his message" that is the message relating to re taliation. What authority has Minister West for these views , which , if correct , convict the administration of duplicityV Would ho state such views in language almost positive without sotno foundation for them that ho deemed reasonably secure ? Secretary Bayard says Mr. West has no other or better means ol knowledge of the intentions of the president than any ono of the sixty mil lions of American people. Will nol every intelligent man understand that this is essentially specious and obvi' ously untrue. The British minister is in constant intercourse with the state department , and the state department reflects the views and intentions of the president with respect to British affairs , These may not at all times bo fully ills' closed , but can there bo any reasonable doubt that Lord Sackvillo West has rC' ccivod from the American secretary Oi state such assurances as justified the ex pressions of confidence in Mr. Cleve land contained in his letter ? The British minister's cpistlo cannot fail to have some political effect , and it may bo very considerable. It relloctf the prevailing English sentiment regarding > garding American politics , the motm of which everybody will understand and it very strongly suggests that the administration has boon bimply playlnf for political effect in asking an increase of authority to retaliate upon Canada ii the event of a further violation of treaty rights. It will bo no easy task for thi democracy to explain away these dis closures. CIIUfESB The confidence that has boon expressed pressed by otlicials of the state department mont that there was no danger to oui commerce with China by reason of the legislation excluding Chinese laborer from this country , will receive n rude shock from the intelligence that Chi ncso merchants in Now York have re ceived from their homo oflicos in Hoiif Kong and Shanghai notification to dis continue the purchase of American pe troleum , white shooting , calico watches , lire arms , ( lour anil ginson ; root. This is not duo to any action ot the part of the Chinese government which thus far has given no expression sion of its views or purposes regarding the exclusive legislation ot the Unltoi Suites , but results from a general boy * cott of American goods by the citizoni of China. This is a wholly unexpected turn of affairs. The common impression sion has been that the Chinese people gave themselves no concern abou where their necessities came from , am especially that they had neither the in tolllgonco nor the spirit to resent legis Intion hostile to them on the part o another country. Wo evidently 'shal have to change our notions of thosi people. It appears that they have thel trades unions where their interests an broadly discussed , and that genorall they are alive to what Is golnt on affecting those Interests. Ob vlously n people having the spirit ti combine in sunk-lent force to seriousl ; impair trade with another country can not bo treated with contempt by countries trios that are seeking the extension c their commerce. The ways of an ad vanccd civilization are manifestly mak ing progress in China. American Interests In China are ox tensive. Wo Imported from that coun try last year commodities to the value c orer nineteen million dollars , the chie ofheso being teas and silks. Our ex ports to China were of the value c sixaudaquarter million dollars , consist ing uiaiuly of twtrolcuoj , cotton &a\ \ \ A flour. Tills trade has1 boon' profitable' a * Us destruction would bring ruin tea a large number of merchants in both ountrlea. European nations nro ready and anxious to supply to rhlntt all that , ho now takes from us , and there can bo no question that In n retaliatory quar- el with the Unltod States China would jnvo the boat of It , for whllo Europe uppllcd her with what she now buys of is , wo are so far dopofldont upon hbr or the teas , silks and other articles wo tnport that oven If wo should cut off lie direct trade wo would undoubtedly continue to import those Chi- icso products by way of Eng- and , thus increasing their cost o us and not in the least njuring China. Whether the matter vill go so far as this that is , develop nto a policy of retaliation on the part of the two governments remains to bo seen. It is also a serious question whether the feeling of resentment will jocomo so strong that the hospitalities ind advantages which China has ex tended to our people will bo withdrawn. It may confidently bo expected Hint , hc nations of Europe which desire the trade of China will do all they can to encourage the resentment which this country has invited. Meanwhile what : ias already taken place ought to induce some reflection by the legislative ind executive powers , and on the ? art of the whole people , upon , ho wisdom of a great nation making its international relations subjects for po litical jugglery at the risk of important ; uul profitable commercial interests. . JUSTICI : n It is generally admitted that the whole system of justices of the ncaeo , as now constituted for Omaha ie wrong , and that the legislature should be called upon to change the laws re lating to that olllco. The act for jus tices of the peace provides that two justices shall bo elected from each pro duct , which means every ward. That gives Omaha eighteen justices of the peace. When it is remembered that Chicago , with a population of eight hundred and fifty thousand , has but nineteen justices of the peace , it is obvious that there are too many such conservators of justice for our own-city. The incompptcni'o of these oflloials , however , is the chief reason why a change of the laws is necessary. The Illinois system in Chicago is much preferable , and with proper ehnngos could be made applicable to Omaha. The act relating to justices of the penoo in the city of Chicago places the recommendation of these nineteen olll- ciais in the hands of the judges of the circuit , superior and county courts ol Cool : county. The governor nominates the persons thus recommended ; and by and with the advice and consent of the senate , the justices of the pence are ap pointed for each district of the city. The Illinois method at a glance rec ommends itself for securing competent and proper persons to fill the important otllccs. It has boon in force since 1875 , and has been most satisfactory. IT Ari'KAits from the report of the commissioner of the general land olllco , just made public , that millions of acres nro hold by railroads as land grants whoso roads , , have not been completed within the time required by their re spective patents. This land ought te revert back to the United States. Bui under an unfortunate decision rendered by the supreme court , until a forfeiture is declared cither by legislation or bj judicial proceedings authorized by law the title to the lands granted re mains unimpaired in the hand ; of the railroads. In consoqiionco railroads have taken advantage of this ruling and a grave injustice is done the people of this country. The Innt olllco at Washington , notwithstanding the manifest failure of the railroad companies to comply with their obliga tions , is powerless to treat their grants as forfeited mid to restore the land ; covered thereby to the public domain. . It is notorious that railroads are being chartered for the sole purpose of obtain ing valuable land grants to aid in the construction of their roads. Such roads are never built. They exist on paper only. But in all such cases where the railroad companies are clearly fraudu lent and have forfeited their rights tc the public domain , the general lam otlice can not do otherwise than rccog nizo the grants under which they arc made. The attention of congress has repeatedly poatodly been called to this whole sale robbery of the public Tlomain. Ii almost every instance , where railroad ! have not complied with their charters legislation has been pending in oni branch of congress or the other. Bir congress , to its shame , has not yo passed a law for the forfeiture of lands granted to railroads which have failoi to comply with their obligations. WHAT conspicuous qualifications has the Hon. John A. McShano for governor nor of Nebraska ? This , is a growlnj state , with a great future before it. I should have in the executive ollico i man experienced in public affairs patriotically concerned for the progres of the state , and with the ability to roe Diamond wise and necessary logislatioi for promoting the general welfare. Tin fact that a man has been fairly success ful in his private affairs does not argui a capacity for great public duties , anil such success is nil that can fairly hi claimed for Mr. McShano. The lutolll gent voters of Nebraska must "see ii the democratic candidate for governoi only an ardent partisan , who accepted t nomination with some ulterior purpose In view , and who , If elected , woult doubtless devote himself moro to tin bervico of his party than to the interests osts of the whole people. Wo have in doubt sucli voters arc numerous onougl to defeat the plans of Mr. McShane am his party. TUB Dawos Dakota reservation bll has failed and has become ancient his tory.

AN item from an Idaho paper about the Use of sunflowers for fuel is going the rounds of the eastern papers with many approving comments. Still il trees are scarce in Idaho , what could be better than to follow tlio example ol Nebraska and plant them ? Idaho being to the west of the Hocky moun tains is not liable to bo troubled with blizzards , mid therefore it would pay to plant trees that would bo serviceable for lirtnbor and Juol. Oregon Is famous for its hard wood , and there Is as much similarity between that state and the territory of Idaho as between Nebraska and Kansas. Tin : shutting down of the jute bag gincr factories in Now England has beet brought about by the substitution o coarse cotton duck and cotton bagging made of line straw as a covering for bales by the cotton plantorsof the south. The cost of the duck mid the cotton bag ging is less than in the case of jute. A- the pine straw is made of the needles of the pine found in southern forest : and as the southern cotton mills are making duck for bagging , the southort planters have given preference to tin new covering. The jute trust in consequence quence is bagging at the knee and the industry seems to bo in hard straits. oriinn LAXDS TIIAX or/i's.

But in England , Franco and C3or many the integrity of that noble animal was questioned , am ! it was sought to exclude hit : upon the ground that ho was infected will triehtiuu , and subject to cholera and mea slesand other maladies Incidental to th porcine family. Among our friends of Scan dlnavia , there was no such attempt at misdi rection. The farmers of Sweden went t < their diet with a petition shnwintr that tne.i could not compute In pork with America which sends into Stockholm between throi nnd four thousand tons yearly. They said n effect that Swedish park was le.in ant stringy , and not nutritions , where as Ameri lean pork was excellent in flavor nnu qualit ; and far moro nourishing , The diet felt Ilia something must bo done to wam : the Swado- from their attacnment to American pork , si they clapped on it. a duty of about thro ( cents a pound. Upon this a Scandinaviar nrtizan wrote to a Stockholm paper a com munlcation in which ho said that the Swede if debarred from American pork in Swodei could cat it in America , and the rcco'rds o Scandinavian immigration show that thi was by no means an iillo expression of anger The north west that produces the pork sc alluring to the Swedish appetite has already prolited immensely by a steady stream o strong industrious energetic fellows from tin frozen north of Europe and it Is hopsd wil receive many moro , for they make good cltl zcus , # # * Man proposes , but God disposes.

The burning of Moscow by the Uusslaus fades Into insignificance before- the turning of the Nile by the frenzied patriots of the Soudan. Such nn act shows that the mahdl's successor has created a national uentimrnt that will bo as tremendous in its consequence' ' } as the dawn of Islnmisui under Mahomet. The masacrcs of Zanzibar , the murder of Harthelot and the capture nf Sun- kirn must not be considered Isolated events. They are rnthor parts of ono tremendous plan elaborated nt Khartoum. Central Africa has been lost by the Europeans and won by thu Arabs nnd sumi-Ai-abs of the Soudan. * * The vows of reformation of chronically bankrupt governments uro about as lusting as these nuulo by drunkards when their lin gers begin to twitch with the nervous notion that precedes delirium trcuiens. Htissin swore oft from paper currency seven years ago , and solemnly announced after the sign ing of the treaty at Sun Stafuno that the last batch of paper roubles 200,000,000 should have no successor. Whim I'riuco Uisinarek recently Interceded with the bankers of Ber lin and obtained for Russia n loan of 50,000,000 6t marks the creditors In England hoped that nil dilllcultles had been met by that opportune advance. Uut the iicwu has come that the czar Is going to emit another little issue ol paper roubles only 15,000,000 quite n trifle In fact , nnd the English financiers sro trying to urguc that this is not what It seems to be , the relapse of a government chronically hard up , but a preliminary measure tending towards n specie1 currency. The English do not like to think that the czar really means to create trouble for them in India , and look upon the visit ol General Prjeslov to Lossn iu Thibet as purely scientific. It may bo so , but things look squally generally. Uussla may have put money in her purse for nc special object , nnd then again she may in tend to dash ut Thibet nnd establish n Hus sian protectorate over that little kuowt power , * * * If there is any gratitude nmong military tnllors they would pass resolutions of undy lug attachment to the prince of Wales. That gallant hero Is colonel of eighty regiments , English and foreign , nnd wears the uniform of each. A calculation has boon made that he has invested lifty thousand dollars In hn military wardrobe alone , which almost places him on par with the goddesses of the drama who are notoriously Worth's best customers - Canada is wrath with Mr. Cleveland for hii cavalier treatment of that country in his re tahation policy , nnd has proceeded to do a little retaliation herself in a very neat am effective way. A Chinese merchant wen from New York to Canada , nnd returned bj way of Niagara Falls. That is ho intendee to return , but was stopped on the suspension bridge by n constable armed with the Chinese exclusion bill. lie made his sad case knowi on the Canadian side of the river , and now an oftlcial communication has reached Wash ington , stating that tnis particular China man Is a British subject , born at Houg Kong and entitled to all the rights of n citizen o the British empire and coma quemly free ingress gross and ogress as far as the United State is concerned. What will Bayard , the blatan suyl * * * There Is a group of islands northeast o Sicily which are well beloved by scientists because they afford remarkable opportunitiei for the study of volcanoes. The throe prin cipal islands are Lipari , Stromboll and Vul- cano. The hist of the three Is less known than the others , but Just at present It Iscaus ing intense grief to a highly respectable tlrii of Scotch merchants in Glasgow. The cratci of Vulcano remained quiescent for hundreds of years , and suddenly , in 1730 , burst ou' ' violently. Then It subsided until 1S73 , whei It again became eruptive. But this last at tack scorned like nn expiring effort , and n : 1SSO Vulcano was doomed so peaceable thai this Scotch llrm rented it from thi Italian government , paying down n luni ) sum of flfty thousand dollars in lieu of yearly payments. They commencci extracting from the crater nlum , boracic ncii and sulphur , which , either pure , or in com bination with Bother substances , lined tin floor nnd sides in Immense quantities. Thi ; fall tlio crater became active again , nnd UK operatives and superintendent had to lly for their lives to the sea shore , where thoj waited in great anguish for a boat frou Lipari , Tlio crater belched out boulders and cobblestones in prodigious nuinbors , nnd in spite of the utmost activity in dodging , every one of the party had his clothes singed , nnd several wore burned badly about the logs. If the crater will subside again , thi Scotch firm will make n good thing out 01 their volcano , because aftar every oruptioi there is an outflow of virgin sulphur , am this is so constant that Sp.illanzam , the vul canologist , called the post-cruptivo pcrioi the solfatara , or sulphur stage. At present Vulcano is still active , and the little island i : so studded with boulders a * to resemble n glacial moraine. * * * Tlio French government must bo tcrribl ; hard up for money when it proposes to lev ; nu Income tax not only upon incomes derived - rived from bonds and securities , but upon the hard earnings of professional men and workmen.

Foreigners who uro permanent residents m Franco arc to bo taxed upon the whole of their income , nnd temporary residents upon the basis ol what they spend annually In Francs. If this should become law , what nn exodus ot Amor- leans there would bo from Franco ! * # News comes from Vicuna that there are vast Internal movements of troops in Hnssia , nnd that they are being massed against the German and Austrian frontiers.

They do these things elsewhere. The latest Instance oc curred in no less n place than Stamboul , and the culprit was a pasha named MahmonO Jollaladcen , who had administered the finan ces ot the TurKisU empire with such remark able success that the treasury was bank rupt , and the pasha had accumulated a for tune ot a million and a half of dollars. Tin sultan sent him a nrman , and n bowstring , ordering him to hand over his treasures and to suuinlt his neck to n delicate strang ling operation.

The statement that the democratic party Is levying heavy assessments upon itb spoilsmen all over the union , nnd that Nebraska democrats are notified that they must raise at least $10.000 for the national campaign fund , has been made in a general way. The following loiter , which was re ceived by the employes on government work in Alabama , will give a clearer idea of the method employed in making the levy : WASHINOTOX , D. C. , Oct. 17 , 1853. Dear Sir : I have just returned from a meeting of the Democratic National committee in New York. As the Alabama member of the com mittee , and at the Instance of the chairman , Hon. William H. Barnuni , I ask your assist ance In raising necessary funds for the con tinued prosecution of the campaign , which has so far been pushed vigorously and ef fectively. If the election wcro to occur to day there Is no question that the democratic party would triumph in the election of Cleve land and Thutinan. While this is all true , the committee Is in need of money to defray the legitimate cam paign expenses In order that there may bo no abatement of the necessary tight In the doubtful state * . The present imUcatloaa are that our party will curry New York , Now Jersey and Coniluotlcut , where the raal .hut- tlo ground Is , and .has a Rood prospect of I winning In sohio stnte * heretofore regarded as surely belonging to the republicans. You nro awnro of the Issues involved In' this contest. The democracy strives forcon tlnuatlon of Mr. Clovnlnnd'a excellent nil * ministration , for a reduction n taxes that bear hardest upon the people nnd , in fact , for good methods in nil public nffulrs. Ou the other hand the republican party fights des perately for restoration to power lor llfo for higher taxes upon articles of prime neces sity , and for its former corrupt practices nud neutrality In oftlcial place high nnd low. The democratic party has no monopolist to contribute $100,00(1 ( or beneficiary of hlgli taxation like Mr. Wanuuuiakor to give foO- 000 to aid in the campaign. The contribu tions received by our committee have gener- nlly been small , souio of thorn ns low as $ l , nnd sometimes no larger than f > 0o. The republican party receives nil the money It needs by the voluntary contri butions of rich tnonoolists | nnd tux bcnellot- nries. Olir party must get its funds from the people for whom It stands. This election is fraught with much more serious and dangerous consequences to the south than to any other section. The .success of the repub lican party me'iins a persistent effort to ro- mnnd our people to cnrpet bnglHtn-govorn- mcnt and oppression , the destruction of our prosperity und the agitation of race Issues , which our people nlono know how to and can best .settle for white and black. Send as much money ns you cnn by Nov. I by P. O. order , registered letter or othcrwiso to Hon. H , C. Tompklns , Montgomery , Ala. , nnd tie will forward It to our committee. Yours truly , HKNIIV D.
