OMAHA wants a yooil citizen , not a [ _ , Rood republican or domocrtil , in the council. THE Pnrnoll commission , like the Mrust Virginia board of canvassers , ap pears to be in no hurry to make its re port. PAVII.LIOX wants the Union Pacific to extend its suburban line to that town. The time is near at hand when L'npillion will bo niado a fashionable suburb of Omiiha. TIIK National Yellowstone park is said to bo infested with ferocious wild animals. Is it there that the do'fuutod democrats in the late election took up their abode when they took to the woods ? Tun cheap excursions inaugurated between Missouri river points and Den ver have induced several thousand jfto- ple to'visit Colorado this week. This will give Denver an opportunity to issue an enlarged new city directory. Tun jute bagging trust , which started out in high feather to control the mar ket for furnishing the covering for cot ton bales , is seriously in danger of going to pieces January 1. The fate of this trust is a fair warning of what is liable 1o happen to other combines formed for the purpose of enhancing prices un justly. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ WIIBN a man is tried in ji position of public trust and found wanting , ho is not to bo trusted again. When Joe Redman was in the council ho trained with , Barney Shannon , IlasciiU , Slaven & Co. , in the Holly job and in every other job in which boodlortfwero pooled against the taxpayers The people never have trusted Itcdnmn since , and they never will , no matter what his pledges are. His Jefferson square clat ter is good enough for these who are willing to rein force the boodlors in the council , but the reputable citizens of the Fifth ward will take no slock in Joe ] { edman. Till ! taxpayors'and decent element of Omaha deserve no sympathy if boodlors and catspaws are elected to the council. The honest citizen , who should have made himself prominent at the prima ries , was conspicuous by his absence and indifference to the selection of can1 didntos. The contractors ulid ward pol iticians , with but few exceptions , had the primaries to themselves and they made the best of their opportunity. At no time in the history of Omaha wore election frauds so openly and recklessly carried on. The question is , will the taxpayers and the honest citl/ens of the respective wards stand idly by on elec tion day and lot the slums of the city ' do the repenting ? TIIK development of the asphalttim deposits of Colorado , HOQII to be under- tnko.li , will udd an important industry to tlio resources of thnt state. Asphal- ? tuift , or mineral pltcli , used , principally for street paving , 1ms become a valuu- y bio nrtiolo of commorce. At present it isju'ouglit at considerable expense from the island of Trinidad , near the mouth of the Orinoco rlvor In South America. The Importance , therefore , of having tills aspb'iltum deposit so close at hajui .insures at once chcannos ? and an im petus to extflid the Hold of It's utility. Tbo only drawback to the immcdinto ilcvoloumont of tbo Colorado deposits nppoars to bo tholr remoteness from tbo railroads. An olfort is being made to ' build n road to these pltcli deposits whioh is likely to bo accomplished " within a short time. sots a good example which could bo followed with advantage by the United States. The Dominion govern ment proposes to prevent food adultor- ntlons within Canadian territory , nnd has instituted criminal procedure j. . ngamst n number of manufacturers. Of ono thousand samples of food products ? examined one-fourth were adulterated. It Is claimed that the adulterations n r\ year ago in these products were fully llfty per cent , allowing that a deter mined movement In this direction has met with success. If Canada extends jr her laws so us to' exclude American tadulterations from crossing her borders , & " r.tanufuoluroni of food products in this country will , ( or their own protection , improve the quality of tholr exports. Besides , it is moro than likely that con gress , before Ipng , will co-operate with Canada In stumping out adulterations in tbo necessaries of life , lest TlIK TKItRtTOniAL Qt'KSTTOX , If Mr. Sprlngor , chairman of thahouso committee on territories , correctly re flects democratic dclro and intention , the representatives of that party in con gress will insist upon the Springer ter ritorial omnibus bill which includes Now Mexico , and proposes the admis sion of Dakota as one state. It is also reported'that Mr. Hnndnll thinks the domocrnta should InMst upon admitting Utah. If these views shall prevail with the majority of the , present house there will certainly bo no legislation at the coming session admitting to statehood the territories that are ready for ad mission. It is not at all probable that under any circumstances the republicans will consent to the admission of New Mexico ice , ann Utah is undoubtedly out of the question. As to the former territory , while it is claimed to have a population of one hundred and seventy-live thous and , or about ns numerous as that of Washington territory , there is n very wide dilTerenco in the character of the population of the two territories. Mora than half of the people of Now Mexico are unfitted to exercise the right of citizenship under stito government. They know t little and care less about our political institutions , they do not readily assimilate with other classes of people , most of them are wholly wanting in the qualities that make law-respecting and useful citizens , and given the power to carry into olteot their natural instincts would bring about such a condition of corruption and lawlessness as the country has never yet witnessed. Though not without re sources to attract population , No'v Mexico lias made slower growth than most of the other territories , and in respect of its educational and otlior moral agencies is at the foot of the list. Under the mobt favorable conditions to bo expected it will probably bo ton years before this territory will have the requirements for admission to statehood. With re gard to Utah the objection is well un derstood , and it is not doubted that it will bo found insurmountable. The anti-Mormon population of the territory do not want statehood umler present conditions , and. unquestionably , their wish in the matter will bo i-ogardcd. Whether justly or not , there is a general - oral lack ot confidence in Mormon promises of good faith respecting the exclusion of polygamy , in the event of tile territory being admitted , and we do not believe this feeling can be over come. Furthermore , the republican policy is to make two states out of Dakota , and there is not the slightest probability that this will bo changed. It is in accordance with the desire of the people of the territory , it is de fensible on other grounds , and it will unquestionably be adlvcred to. If , therefore , the programme of Mr. Springer , with the addition proposed by Mr. Randall , shall bo insisted unon by the democrats of the present congress , it is inevitable that there will lie no legislation at tho. coming session for aa- mitting any of the territories to state hood. In yicw of this the probability of an extra session of the next congress becomes much stronger , and the sug gestion of a combined effort by the people ple of the eligible territories in favor of an extra session receives increased force. 27173 HANKS IN CONOnESS. " The ban k question is likely to bo among the foremost that will command the at- tontiuLi of congress at the coining ses sion. .There is good authority for say ing that various novel measures of re form will bo proposed , but while there may not bo any very important legisla tion , there is reason to expect good re sults from the consideration that will bo given the question. The most vital matter relates to a provision for a new basis for bank circulation. The high price of the government bonds now required - quired to secure circulation has raised them beyond the reach of many of the banks , and not only will the number of now banks bo curtailed while these bonds must be used , but many existing banks may find it expedient , on the score of profit , to surrender a part at least of their circu lation and realize on the bonds. It is urged that the yearly growth of the banking business is not equal to the wants of the country , and What is sought of congreos is legislation that will stim ulate the growth of the business on-a basis that will not be less secure than at present. This subject received very thoro.ugh discussjon in the last annual repor.t of the comptroller of currency who found the problem one of great dllll- eullics. The question also received some consideration at the last session of congress , and gcrorul measures relating to it wore introduced. The necessity of a now basis was quite generally recog nized , though some of those who spoke on the question , notably Senator Shop man , did not rogurd the necessity as immediately urgent. The great dilll- culty encountered , however , relates to what shall constitute the now basis , re garding which there have boon nu merous suggestions , most of them wholly inadmissible. There is very strong objection to issuing now government bouds solely as a basis of national bank circula tion , and them is still moro serious objection to the proposi tion , contained in a bill introduced in the B.onato and approved by some bank ers , to make real estate mortgages a basis of circulation. There is no very great diversity of opinion as to the desirability of main taining the national banking system , with such reforms as oxporloaco liua shown to bo required. It IB confessedly the host system in the world , affording an absolutely safe currency , and giving a general financial stability and secur ity necessary to steady progress and prosperity. It 1ms an assured continu ance for some years o'n the present basis , but a discussion of plans for the future is not now untimely , if for no otlior reason than to enlighten public opinion and ascertain popular senti ment. THIS next national census should betaken taken with greater care and accuracy than was the last , and in order that this may bo done there must bo earlier pro- vision for it. The act of congress pro viding for taking the tenth census was not passed until March 3 , 1879 , thus al lowing only about a year for perfecting the plans and arrangements required for the vast work. The result was that the statistics supplied by the census wore not all that the country desired or needed. The Hold covered was suf ficiently comprehensive , but the work was not thorough , and many inaccura cies have boon pointed out which throw the whole mass of statistics into discredit. Had thcro boon moro time for perfecting the plans much of this would undoubtedly have been avoided , and the tenth cen sus would n'ot have fallen intodisroputo. It goes without saying that "census sta tistics to have any value must bo as as nearly as possible accurate , and to accomplish this it is necessary that the arrangements should all bo completed in advance of the time for beginning the taking of statistics. Otherwise there is certain to bo more or less con fusion obstructive and Injurious in its effect. The census of 1890 will involve moro labor and skill than the last one , and there should bo moro time given to prepare for it. Congress should attend to this important matter early in the session , and we believe there is a1 bill now in the hands of the proper com mittee making provision for the next census. TUB superiority of a vestibule train over the ordinary passenger train was put to a severe test inthorecent col lision in Colorado between n passenger train on the Denver fe Rio Grande and a vestibule train of the Chicago , Rook Island & Pacific. The former train was derailed , several coaches were burned by overturned stoves , and passengers were injured. The latter did not leave the track and the passengers escaped with only a shaking up. The reasons for this are obvious. The vestibule sys tem of coupling cars neutralizes the shock of collision and prevents the dis asters of telescoping. Moreover , heat ing the vestibule train by steam sup plied by the engine prevents the possi bility of fire duo to the deadly car stove. It is obvious therefore that the vestibule train has advantages which both rail roads and the traveling public are quick to recognize , and it is quite evident that the vestibule system has come to slay. TUB presence of largo Mormon set tlements in Idaho and Wyoming , it is feared , will ouioarrass these territo ries when the'y apply for admission into the sisterhood of states. Idaho especially 1ms a largo Mormon popula tion in several of the southern coun ties , which , if admitted to citizenshij ) , will control the election of a congress man and may hold the balance of power in the legislature. It is true the Mor mons have been disfranchised in Idaho by a territorial law , but the constitu tionality of the act is seriously ques tioned. Wyoming lilcewise has a grow ing Mormon population , which is likely to wield a strong political influence. In view of the attitude of congress toward Utah , the presence of largo settlements of Mormons in Idaho and Wyoming is a phase of the Mormon question not counted upon , and likely to give con gress considerable trouble in admitting these territories. AT THU primaries of the First ward for the nomination of u councilman , the voting was as follows : ' ' Total vote for republican candidates. . . . 191 Total vote for democratic candidates. . . . 1,505 At the presidential election Novem ber 0 the three districts of the First ward cast the following vote for each of the presidential electors : Total vote for each of the republican ' presidential electors. . . 799 Total vote for each of the democratic presidential electors 1,54-1 From this statement it appears that moro votes were cast at.tho democratic primaries of the First ward for council man than wore cast for Grover Cleveland - land at an exciting presidential elec tion. On the facer of it , therefore , the mos.t bare-faced frauds over perpetrated at the polls of Omaha wore openly car ried on at the First ward democratic primaries. What do the respectable democrats say to that ? Tim general opinion of railroad men seems to bo that the great'road on paper between Suit Lake City and Sioux City is only a bluff , and will never be built. It is difficult to see why it should bo. Hioux City ig making re markable progress , and there is a fine bridge over the river at that point , but why a road should be built from it to Salt. Lake City in a conundrum that no man can find out. How quickly our citizens resent the outrage if n thief comes into their houses and filches a trillo. But how indifferent our taxpayers are to the se lection of a boodlor to the city council who roba.them without mercy.

Bo' long as bo win within the bounds of tholr country every thing Mint wn reported of the Illustrious guest wa * In terms of high approval. But after his departure the Italians , and particu larly the KoiiKitis , spoke of him elf their nil ecstors might have spoken of Alnrlc when ho was still uu auxiliary of the Eternal city. Tliry dcclareil him to bo n riule , blunt sol dlcr , very ni'lo ' and painfully blunt. Ho would not speak to any of the foreign am bassadors nt thojcourt of Klnp HumbcTto , neither would lit address n word to the pres ident of the Italian chambers when ho was presented to lilnl. This was particularly un- fortunntc , nccorflinp to the ulrltto , became that gentleman thought so much of himself. Art , music , literature , the charms of society and thi ? grace * of courtesy nro things abhor- cut to him , so tlib Italians say , and his pose as n soldier , and nothing but it soldier , is oviuently the result of conviction that sol- dierinc w the llfo best suited to him. It is thought by Gorman Journalists thr.t their emperor could not conceal his disdain of the Italian armywhich was reviewed before him , and that ho was particularly disgusted with the Ucrsnglicrl , the picked Infantry of Italy , who perform all their niavcmonU nt n pace , which though not n double , is very mui'H faster than tlio ordinary time. A French staff ofllr-er who was present drew the most unfavorable conclusions ns to the status of tlio Italian army , mid It is very probable , us German journals suirgest , that the review made the emperor feel.very tlrcil. n * News comes from Xanzluar that British naval onicers hoardoil u Belgian steamer on" that coast and found that there were -100 slaves in the hold and between deelts who were being tukon to the Belgian colony on the Congo. From tlio llrst Inception of Ivitig Leopold's enterprise , It bcc.imo clear that nothing could bo done without slave labor , and it now appears that the arrangements , for obtaining slaves froni the Arab slave- traders frequenting Xnnjslbnr from the in terior were made by the Belgi.m consul. It is hard to b 'liovo that it was not done with the knowledge mid consent of the Belgian government. Two out of the -109 claimed that they had been kidnapped , but there- maindor mailo no objection to slavery , and the British olllcers neither detained the ves sel nor released any of the nccroes save the " two wlio made complaint , "In the face of tliis discovery , how hypocritical seems the talk noout a crusade to put down the Arab slave-traders in vcntr.il Africa. Cardinal Lavigcrio is us earnest as I'otcr the Hermit , but no one believes that any nations mean business except England ami Germany , and they have their own reasons for combatting Arab inlluunce. The French government has the merit of being moro honest In tlio matter than any oilier , for Minister Floquot. point-blank refused participation hi the cru sade , and declined to discuss the matter. Moreover , England and Germany are not going to act in concert , and thu probabilities are increasing Mint the niahdi ana his Sou- tlaneso and his Arab allies will come out vic toriously iu the end , * What the turkey is to the American the goose is to the Gorman , and , indeed , to the Irishman. But under the atrocious system of misgovernment to which Ireland has been subjected for hundred of years , the Irishman who gets potatoes considers himself happy , anil Irish geese are for English stomachs. Not so with the German workingman who is able to give himself the national treat of roast goose ouce a month , or thereabouts , during the wmtc season when geese are fat , and work is abu idant. The Germans cat apple sauce with their goose , but it is scion- title-ally compounded of stewed apples , chopped raw onion in proportions according to personal judgment , and large raisins , the whole delicately dusted with cinnamon. Those who have not tried this sauce will bo astonished to find that the chopped onion serves to bring out trio flavor of the apple , aud the raisins add an agreeable richness and fullness. Some professors of the kitchen leave out the ciniiatnou , but ttio Germans , as a rule , use it with undiscriminatmg profuse ness. When the Gorman nrtlzan wishes to economize ho buys ducks instead of a goose , aud uses tlio.siiuii ) sauce for them. In Omaha , owingto the strong German , Scan dinavian andllpheminn clement in the popu lation , geese are more carefully bred and fed , and fatted for the table than in any other city of America , and an immense number were consumed on Thanksgiving day.

Some of these nre made up of several huge stones , others consist of a single stone , others again are circles of single stones. The names are ns peculiar as the monuments. A largo stone standing on end alone is a menhir , a dolman is a tqmb composed of a number of perpen dicular stones covered by one huge horizon tal stone , nnd a cromlech is a circle of asso ciated menhirs. Menhirs are also called pehlvnns , which is quite a Persian | ivord. Generally the circles are approached by long avenues of menhirs. There is a monument at Carmic of this character which appears to bo the snme in principle us the great temple of Karnak near Thebes in Upper Egypt , only the many different parts are splendid halls in one , and simple spaces enclosed by mono liths in the other. The general impression seems to bo that a race prior to the I'husni- ciilns of Tyro , and who maybe considered as the true Phoenicians , which the Tyrinns wore not , spread their religious belief In many countries , leaving to the people of these countries the task of formulating n cult from it commensurate with their own degree of civilization. Thus the Egyptians , being highly civilized , dovolopqd their view of the Phu'iiician belief in the grand fanes of Memphis and Thebes , whilst the Gauls of France , being barbaric , mndo the cromlechs of Carnac and Ualbcc. * No one can reasona bly doubt that Giirnac Is the same us Kar- iinkund IJnlbec as Baalbek.

Ballot Kcronn , Century Fur Dcrtmba : This Is ono of the reforms which must come , for without It our system of popular government cannot bo maintained. Every election , especially in our largo cities , shows that until this reform Is secured all otlior re forms nro impossible ot accomplishment. The control of the election machinery , .of the printing end distributing of the ballots , must bo taken from the politicians and put into the hands of the stato. That is , wo must take the iwwer to control our elections , away from the men who have no responsibility nnd no Interest in government save extravagance nnd corruptibn , and put it into the hands of oDlcials who are sworn to do their duty. Ol what use is it to try to got honest men nominated for olllco when we leave in the hands of the political workers the power to defeat them at the polls by distributing fraudulent or defective bollots , or by making 'deals" ' and "dickers" which cheat the people of their will ? We have talked for years about reforming the primaries and the nominating conventions , but not ono particle of progress has been made. Under the Massachusetts law any 400 voters , in case of a candidate for state oilico , nnd any 10D voters , in case of a candidate for a lcssci onice , by uniting in a petition in behalf of a candidate of their choice can have his name printed upon the ofiiciul ballots mid have those ballots distributed at the polls at the public expense. What , moro certain way of reforming the prima'rioa could be devised than this ! If ttiero were such a law in New York City there would bo an end to the astonishing spectacle which is there so often presented of a "boss" setting up candidate of his own for ofllco In spite of nil protests nnd frequently elect ing him in spite of all opposition. Under such a low both "bosses" and prima ries iii a very short time would lose their present dominance in our politics. In fact , thcro is scarcely u form of iniquity known to our election method which a good ballot law would not eradicate. VVe should be rid at one'strokc of the assessments upon candidates , of the bribing and bulldozing of voters , of the nomination of notoriously unfit candidates , of "deals" and "dickers" and "trades" at the polls. AH these would dis appear , for the simple reason that the ma chinery of elections would bo taken out of the hands of irresponsible ana often dishonest men. Such an obvious and imperative reform - form as this cannot be long delayed. I'JKOMIXISN'J I'KRSO.m Secretary Whitney will go to Europe in the spring and will remain several years on that continent.
