Tim Nebraska legislature threatens to regulate ovorj thing in sight but the railroads. TliK proposed wngon bridge at Siouj City will wipe out the few remaining traces of prohibition in that enterpris ing town. If General Harrison could .got some body to untie the factional knot , ho would have no diniculty in unraveling the tangled situation of Now York. CONGUKSS favors commercial union with Canada. The chiinoea are that Hail Columbia will receive a voluptuous cold shoulder if she crosses the border. ARIZONA proclaims train robbing n capital olTonse. The onterurising hold ups of that region are too familiar with the Mexican line to be caught with a statute. ISN'T it about time that the legisla ture got down to consider the appro priation bills ? The longer they are left on the book the larger the appropria tions are liable to grow. ONLY n two-thirds ice crop has been harvested in Omaha , and the ice man's price list has entered a go-as-you-ploaso running match with the thurmomoter for the rest of the season. TIIK bids for the now poatofllco slto are nil in the hands of Postmaster Gallagher , and the bidders are anx iously awaiting the outcome of what ap pears to bo a jug-handle arrangement. GliKAT excitement is reported from southern California over the discovery of rich gold fields. It is wonderful in deed to what ends these Californians will resort in order to Inflate their collapsed "boom. " EUWIN B. LINTON , the agent of the treasury department , 1ms suggested that a meeting ot property owners bo held to-morrow evening to discuss the pro posed sites for the now postofllco build ing. It is understood the meeting will bo held in the board of trade hall. HILT. STOUT'S bill for extras , amount ing to $10,000 , would furnish an inter esting chapter of capltol history if properly itemized.

Jf she could bo Induced to loan her saviors to Secretary Bayard , the damp , dismal sea M oblivion would lose its surrounding terrors. AN American bridge builder has "fceon devoured by a shark in Australian waters. The fact is chronicled with mingled feelings of shame and sorrow that n man who had run the gantlet of the nallvo article should fall an easy prey to a measly foreigner. Tine legislature sinecures are doomed. The house committee lias discovered that Borty alleged employes can bo fired bodily from the capltol without allcut- tug thu progress of business in the slightest degree. The reform comes late in the day , but it will save the treasury several hundred dollars. TUB moldy plea of poverty which the Union Pacific makes whenever liskcd to redeem its pledges to this corn- Inunity is a painful spommon of Bos ton inn simplicity. During January , the dullest month of the year , the com pany harvested nn increabo in the sur plus ol ? 172,000 , compared with January , 1888.

HLAtXC AXD ntSMAllCK. There being no lo'ngor a quo&tioi that Mr. Blalno will bo secretary estate state under the next administration future negotiations between the govern inentof the Dnltod States and the gov eminent of Gcrminy regarding tlv Snmonn issue will bo carried on undo the direction of Blnino and Hlsmarck It is therefore n matter of interest t recall the views of the former regard ing American policy with respect to tin islands of the Pacific. A confcronci having already boon agreed upon bo twuon the two governments , in contln nation of that hold in Washington it 1887 , to meet in Berlin , that arrange ment will doubtless bo carried out b ; the now Kdmlnistration , to which tht present administration has deferred tin duty of appointing a representative o this government. That rcprosontntivi will receive instructions from Mr lUaine , and there can be no doubt tha they will bo in part to llrmly redis every cITort or scheme of Germany ti obtain control of the Samoan islands. The grounder this belief is found in the position of Mr. Blniiu when ho was secretary of stat < in the Garllcld administration rehitiv * to the Hawaiian islands. He then main taincd that the policy of the Unitoi States with respect to the Pncilli ocean was essentially the same as the policy that had been pursued with rev spcct to the Atlantic , and has occn re ported recently to have expressed him self regarding the Samoan question ir terms showing that ho has not changed from his attitude of eight years ago Assuming that General Harrison is in sympathy with this view , and there is no reason to doubt it , Bismarck will tlnd in the next American secretary ol state a determined opponent of any effort fort Germany may maio to interfere with the independence and authority ol Samoa. Meanwhile indications of Bismarck' ! purpose to severely punish the Samoanf for what they have done in defense ol their territory againstGcrmnn invasion , and perhaps incidentally to strengthen German power in the islands , are nol wanting. The tone of the seml-oHlcinl German organs , and the intelligence received from other sources , permit little - tlo doubt that the Gorman government contemplates , if it has not alreadj taken measures to carry out summarj action in dealing with the Samoans , ostensibly by way of punishment , but really to gain a more extended and se cure foothold. The killing of a few marines is not an affair about whicli Bismarck would bo deeply concerned on the score of vengeance alone , but in this case it can bo made o convenient pretext for putting into ollect a policy pretty plainly defined by the whole course of Germany in Samoa. It will bo the task of the next secre tary of state to thwart this policy , and the Samoan issue will dpubtloss bo the first international question to which the next administration will address its at tention. There need be no apprehen sion that the interests and rights of the United States will not bo wisely and llrmly maintained. PROVIDING FOR MORE STATUS. It has been , remarked that" Mr. William Springer's temperament is as elastic as his political conscience. Hav ing become somewhat identified with the business of creating nc'w stntos , by virtue of his position ns chairman of the house committee on territories , and knowing that his opportunity for further usefulness in this line is about at an end , Mr. Springer appears to have determined to improve the last chance to associate his name with measures to admit all the territories except Utah , and it is somewhat surprising that ho did not include that territory in his bill introduced a few days ago providing for the admission next year of Arizona , Idaho and Wyoming , If it was not a political reason and that is the most potent of all reasons with Mr. Springer that led him to introduce this indefensible measure , it is impossible to conceive upon what grounds ho could justify it. It is not possible that any one of these territories will have a sufficient population a year hence to entitle it to statehood , while as to Ariona and Idaho , it is not probable that they will bo olk'iblo live years from now. These two territories have ti present population of between fifty and sixty thousand each , Ari-/ona being a little in the lead , or about one- third the ratio of voprosontation in con- grohs , and their growth in slow. Under the most favorable conditions that can bo thought probable , neitho'1 of thorn is likely to have to exceed seventy-five thousand population at the next census , and the apportionment for roprosontn- tion under that census will doubtless bo not less than two hundred thousand. Wyoming presents a somewhat.bettor case , but unless she should have n most remarkable and unexpected increase her population at the next census will not exceed one hundred and twenty thousand , or eighty thousand less than the probable new ratio of roprosonta- tion. The absurdity of proposing to create states of these territories a year hence is obvious. The lesson presented by Nevada is one that is pretty certain to dolor con gress from any future blunder In mak ing stales out of territories that have not sufficient population to entitle them to statohooil , and are lackIng - Ing in the conditions to at- truut population. If this Josson bo heeded the next generation may find Arizona still a territory , for hop coa litions are not very much superior to those of Nevada , and it is not likely Lluit Idaho can present a fair claim to statehood within the next ton years. The outlook for Wyoming is more promising , and her admission before the close of Harrison's administration is not unlikely. Of course nothing will to done by the present congress with Mr. Springer's bill , or with that of the N'ow Mexico dolugato for the admission ) f that territory with its mongrel popu- ation , and thu next congress can bo lufoly trusted not to revive them. TIIK British governr ont has ap- lolnted Sir Julian Pauncofoot to suo- iooil Sackvll fl-Ww-t as minister to the Jnitcd States.- When .it was stilted otne tlmo ago Unit Pnuncnfpat Hkoly to bo appointed it was also sal < that the understood intention of th government was adversely commentoi on in English diplomatic circles , owini to the fact that Sir Julian had alwny been merely an attache of the Brltisl forcigtrofllcc , with no actual oxporlonci in diplomacy , though possessing a vor ; thorough knowledge of intornatiotm law. Objection was also mido on tin ground that his appointment would b an innovation on the system o appointing foreign ministers , sine it would promote him ovc men older and higher in th diplomatic service. In view of all thl the selection of Pauncofoot cannot b < regarded as altogether complimentary to the United States , though this is i inaltor about which we can afford to bi entirely indUTercnt. If thu now ropro scntativonf Her Majesty's government is a gentleman and will attend strictly to his own business , ho is cort-iin to hi more acceptable than his morally blcm ishcd and indiscreet predecessor. TIIK Omaha police force appears tob divided into silent factions concerning the pension bill now before the logisla turo. Tno members fail to npprociaU and applaud the generous efforts of th commission to husband n surplus for oh'i age , and provide means to alleviate tin wounds contracted in line of duty , Ni objection would bo imulo If the city i > ro vided the fund , but "tho llncst" canno comprehend the benevolent features ol n system for which they furnish tin means , nor the unselfish efforts of tin mon who will handle the funds. Disci' plino and a desire to hold the job arc gradually smothering the opposition. SHNATOII LTAMS' bill to divide this city Into three districts and limit the number of justices of the peace tt two from each district , or in all si ) justices , should receive the active sup port of every member of the Douglai delegation. Six justices are ample foi nil legitimate litigation. By reduc ing the number the income of eacl will be largo enough to secure t < our citizens the services of lawyers wh < enjoy the respect and confidence of tlu community. As it is now the justiet mills are so numerous as to innko it un profitable for men of standing , unless they are so generally and favorably known as to draw patronage from al parts of the city. Tin : imported lung-tester is liable tc overdo the thing in this salubrious cli' mate when ho tries to inflate the circu lation balloon. A sudden gain of thous ands of daily subscribers in midwinter when there is no campaign to fight , nc sensational event to create an undue demand for papers , and no material in crease in population or unusual uctivit.v in any direction , is a dead giveaway. Nobody with a thimbleful of brains has any faith in such startling gains , and at best the only rational conclusion is that the publishers have generously scat tered several thousand papers a day on probation whore they expect now sub scribers. TIIK employment of a stenographer lor the city clerk's office is additional proof that reform and economy are the wedded watchwords of the council. The now position fills n long felt want. The over burdened city clerk and careworn deputies will bo relieved of the onerous duties which confined them within doors for throe or four hours each day. Tt will enable them to woo the bloom of youth with outdoor life , and culti vate a profound indifference to the wants of inquisitive visitors. The short hand method of reaching tlu city treasury will also be improved and sim plified by the new clerk. TIIK destruction of the now reduction works at Dead wood by lire is a serious blow to the mining interests of the Black Hills. The plant had boon in operation but a few months , and was constructed of the most inflammable material. The lesson of the lire is a rostly ono , but it cannot fall of geol re sults , The work will doubtless bo re constructed on a broa lor and more so- uuro foundation , and of material reasonably fire-proof. Tun bill requiring a throe-fifths voce to change the location of a county seat is a good ono and should bo passed by the legislature. County seat fights have done inoro than any other agoney to retard the growth and settlement of the western half of the state. Ani mosities have boon engendered between communities that years can scarcely wlpo out. Any mnnsuro tending to reduce - duce and control this evil is entitled to hearty support. Tun plumbers and gaslltters are mak ing an early and systematic attack on the pavements of the city. The same recklessness and indifference to the rights of taxpayers are displayed , and the board of public works apparently pays no more attention to it than in years past. Unless there is some vitality injected into the board , the result will bo a great increase in the number of sunken tranches and ruined pavements , PltESIDBXT CJVKV1UAND'3 post- inortom eulogies are appropriately do- llvorod through the mugwump press , [ f ono snuaro toed wheel horse of democracy can bo found in all the land ivho slncoroly regrets the departure of Zilovoland from the white house , ho can looure a permanent and profitable en gagement in a circuit of dirao museums. TIIK Sioux reservation in Dakota is to DO divided on thonewstnto lines , but tot ono acre will bo added to the public lomain. The cream of the territory vlll romaln a barrier to settlement and progress for another year at least. TIIK annual freshet of extensions is vfinln threatened by the Union Pacific , loporl has it that mythical surveying jorps are being planted whore they will lot bo soon and plans of great improve- nonts hurled at anxious committees , Hie story is old enough for the retired 1st.

Tlu new ministry promisor to bo able to conduct the government until the close ot the , \ ear. As a combination of opportunists nnd ni.il- cuta the ministry will doubtless be nblo tc cirry : with it a majority of both these wings of the republican party In the chamber. Uut should it fnil in the conllict ol faction the republic would nppaiently bo at the end of its icsources. Tir.ird , the head of the now government , is an able mini , nnd us a moderate republican Is obnoxious to the extreme radicals , especially bv reason of his share in overthrown ! ! : tlio F.oiuet min istry. Uul the radicals will probablysmother their animosityinl the prudent consideration that the now ministry is all that stands be tween them and , the dissolution of the cham ber. In Its complete organization the new French cabinet means pa.ico with other na tions and an one'rgetio resistance to Boulnn- gor and nil other enemies of the republic. The successful npcomplishmant of this pa triotic aud statpsmanliUo programme , in the midsl of the political faclions which are con- lending for the masteri in BYntico , will bo ntlcndcd with great difllcultv. But the re public has by up lucans reached so desperate a condition as tp become a prey to Bouhmg- ism or any other form of porjonal govern ment. If n final struggle should bii neceisarV there would bo manifested by its nupporters an energy and resources that would confound all enemies. * * * The outcome of the queer colony founding expedition of Atchlnofl lo Abyssinia shows Iho wisdom of the St. Petersburg authori ties in disclaiming at the start all rospjnsi- billly for it. Perhaps , however , had they done so loss omph itically the remedy ap plied by the French for the adventurer's invasion of their territory on the Hed sea might linvo bedn less vigorous. Bombard ment is rather un oxtreuia moi-iuro to resort to for the ndnionltion of an intruder ; but as the Uussian government absolutely washed its hands of the affair , no doubt it was very glad to SCG the expedition como to griff. The Cossack adventurer is a fanatic who , with his followers , seems to have been carried away with the idea of bringing the ecclesi astical establishment of ICing John over into the Greek church , to which it is allied. Coupled with this had bo-'n the desire lo found a colony. Had AtcliluolT chosen lo comply with the French roguiattoiM , no ' ' doubt his sctllonicnt nt Sagallo wo'u'ld have been sanctioned , or at loasl not Interfunid with. But that would hava boon to sscriflcQ his own ambitious aspirations. Perhaps ho thought that the Frencn woul.l not dnro to lira on the Kmslnn fl it : which ho raised , or that if tlioy did ho would find vindicators ut St. Petersburg. But the old-tuna bacrcd- ness of the national ensign is In these prac tical dnvb subject lo considerations of the right to raise it.

Prince Alexander of Battonborff has evi- denlly made up his mind lliut the royalty business Is ut un end so fur as ho Is con cerned. Ho 1ms boon a king , and has suc cessfully commanded a national nrniy In the Hold. His success made him enemies , und through the intrigues of the Russian court ho was crowded oft the Bulgarian tbrouo , which Is now filled by a mild mannered young gentlomun , dl&tlnguUhcd for his ImndBomo patrimony and his lasto in Jew elry. As un ox-Uiiig , Alexander sllll had a position in the elite directory of Burnnoan royalty , and prosgnUy appeared us suitor for the hand of his alstur-in.huv'H niece , Em peror Frodorick'i iugntor , Victoria. Papa and mamma were favorably disposed , mid nil went well ns n malriu o boll , when grim old Ulsiimrck , fllllngnw part of cruel undo , jtoppud in and fotvnjlu the banns. At lust the disconsolate Alexander has sought com- foil in the resources of private life , und has l > eon quietly married to un opera singer.

The republic's Immigration policy s very liberal. The Argentine congress at ts last session voted that the i-ost of passage rod Europe should bo advanced to 50,000 igriculiurUtf and artisans , The number of tnmlgrnnts received la 18ST was 137-JW , .gainst OJ , 110 la 18SO , and in .eleven months of 1JS3 the number was 133,707. The goi ornmont ot Chill hns authorized Us immlgrj tlon ngcnts nbroad to give frco passage to al who desire to como to that country , and it 1 provided that the Immigrants shrill bo fci nnd lodged for fifteen dnys nftor their at rival.

The rumors hnvo been so emphatic that Tint Bun rcpiesontativo sought to know the truth about the matter to.duy , und finds that they uro without shadow of foundation. It is clearly apparent thnt these stones huvo been put in circulation by enemies or the gov ernor without regard for truth or decency.

The governor's friends uro Indignant over the unkind thrusts he hus been mibjccted to , and llic.v have not been slow to express themselves regarding the matter. It Is enough to know that the vnlued policy bill will not bo grossly mutilated when it passes from tha governor's hands. City News nuU Notes. The funeral of Harry U.
