THB trouble with Commissioner Tan

too much.
"WITH txvo hundred and twenty mill

that Wall street is gr.oatly alarmed and

Till ? secretary of the navy will , in a

chnso of six hundred and sixty tons of

of the now cruiser Texas. This liirpo ;
domaad will undoubtedly stimulate the
steel and iron industries of the country.
TUB Baltimore & Ohio is accused of
havinp violated the agreement among
trunk lines in cutting com rates to
Baltimore. But it has never as yet
heon guilty of discriminating ugainsl

Buroly cannot bo said of the 'Union '

first it was to be a million and a half

MR. WYATT , acting ocrotary of iho
etato of Colorado , will hereafter obey
the orders of the court in delivering up
the keys of the senate or any other

ly this time found out that trifling with
the court is as dangerous as fooling
with the business end of an electric

Tins announcement of the near approach
preach of the dissolution of the French
chamber of deputies should cause a
great deal of satisfaction not only
among the French , but among all lovers
of good government. The parliament
has loft nothing undone that would tend
to make it an object of ridicule , and it
hus done nothingto merit the respect ol
liny ono.
TllKlong drawn fight of the printers
against the use of steam plato presses in
the bureau of engraving and printing
at Wabhington has terminated to the
satisfaction of the former. Secretary
Window has had the steam plate
presses removed and'substitutod ' hand
presses. Whatever merits the stearr
presses may have possessed , it is cluimoil
that the work of printing will bo bottoi
done nnd the expense not largely in <
crotisod by it.

m Tun secretary of agriculture has jusl
established a now division in his depart
ment charged with the duty of editing
the reports and bulletins issued by the
various divisions of the agricultural
bureau. Much complainthasboen fount ]
with the majority of the publication !
issued from this department duo to the
fact that they luivo largely boon prepared <
pared by aciontlflo moa for scientific
oycs , In consequence , much that .win
valuable and intended for the genera
public has been mlsdirocUd. Secretary
ilusk has very properly dotormlnei
that as the agricultural department wai
created primarily for the bonotlt of tlu
( armors of the country , the varloui
bulletins should bo proparoa in th <
plainest possible language so that ovorj
man who roads thorn could undoratant

agriculture understands his businosi
and intends to make his dapartmoir

Tiff ? MILWAUKEE ENCAMPMENT.
The projected annual encampment of
the Grand Army Ot the Republic at
Milwaukee 1ms boon abandoned. Only
delegates from the various posts , to the
number of about nine hundred , will go
to that city , whereas it was expected
that the encampment this year would
bo ono of the largest over hold , draw
ing together perhaps not less that two
hundred thousand , veterans.
The abandonment of the encampment
is duo to the refusal of the railroads
to give the members of the
G. A. R. a ono-cont faro. The
roads offered to carry the veterans atone
ono fnro for the round trip , and all ap
peals failed to induce them to modify
this offer. In view of the fact that a
ono cent rate or losi had recently boon
given by the railroads to other organ
izations , the department commanders re1- "
gardod the refusal at equally favorable
terms to the veterans ns an unjust dis
crimination , and they unanimously de
cided to give up the annual encamp
ment and confine the Milwaukee moot
ing of old soldiers to the delegates -
gates from the G. A. R. posts. They
ndviso all other members of the or
ganization not to go to Milwaukee , us a
matter of solf-rospoct and sclf-dcfcnso ,
and recommend county and district re
unions throughout the various depart
ments.
Thia action will undoubtedly bo gen
erally approved by the members of the
Grand Array. Thousands of thorn who
wuro counting upon the pleasure of a
reunion with old comrades will , of
course , bo disappointed , but they will
cheerfully accept the plain duty
of resenting the illiberal and
discriminating action of the rail
roads. Unquestionably the managers
of the roads counted upon the devotion
of the veterans to their organization ,
and their loyalty to the friendships of
the camp and the march , to insure a
largo attendance at the oncampmon t
under any conditions of unjust discrim
ination. It is necessary and important
that these managers learn that the old
soldiers , still keeping fresh nnd strong
their affection for their order and for
comrade * , can sacrifice the pleasures of
a reunion rather than submit to what
they regard ns a deliberate discrimina
tion against thorn. The real
loss in this matter will fall on
the railroads. The abandonment of
the encampment moans several hun
dred thousand dollars loss for the cof
fers of the corporations. The Grand
Army organization will not suffer , and
the pleasures'of reunion which the
thousands of veterans who would have
attended the encampment will miss
will not bo lost , but simply postponed.
Every member of the Grand Army not a
delegate should , respect the advice of
the department commanders to atay
away from Milwaukee. They owe it to
the order and to themselves , and the
olToct will bo to secure them fairer and
more liberal consideration In future.
CO&ST1TUTIOS MAKIKQ.
The work of framing constitutions for
the now states is not making very rapid
progress , but in all vtho conventions the
spirit manifested gives promise that
when the instruments are completed
thoy. will not only moot the require
ment of being "republican in form , "
but will bo in most respects wisely
adapted to the conditions and needs of
the now commonwealths. While polit
ical ambition has to some extent colored
the proceedings of the conventions , and
there have boon evidences of individual
prejudices in proposals submitted ; while
the irrepressible reformer has made-
his appearance , and .the extremist on
ono subject or another has not been
absent , it is gratifying to observe that
none of these Influences has thus far
prevailed , and that on the contrary the
conservative , patriotic and prudent
counsels have predominated. There
appears to bo very generally among
the members ot those conventions
'
tions a full sense of the great
rosjionsibility that rests upon them ,
and a high purpose to discharge
the obligation wisely and faithfully.
It is not only necessary that thd
"constitutions shall be framed so as
to moot the approval , of the presi
dent , who will bo tho'solo judge of their
adequacy , Jjut also that they shall pro
vide for a plan of government under
which capital , enterprise and popula
tion may safely enter the now states.
Ono of the most gratifying promises
is that the constitutions of the new
states will inuko judicious provision for
securing a pure ballot. There is noth
ing moro important than this , and the
fundamental law should clearly define
the means by , which the ballot shall bo
protected from corrupting methods and
influences , and the will of the
people in all elections bo fairly
and honestly expressed. It is
of comparatively little consoqaonco
whether a legislature consist of ono or
two houses , or what the ratio of repre
sentation shall bo , so long as thcro is a
certainty that dishonest and corrupt
methods cannot be employed to ruacli
the legislature or any other public
olHco. Governor Mollotto , in counsel
ing the convention of North Dakota to
make provision for n pure ballot , did
not in tholoustororustiinatoltsflupromo
importance. It is apparent that the
now states will bo solidly arrayed
against all forms of monopoly. Con
stitutional provision will undoubt
edly bo made in nil of thorn for
legislation against trusts nnd like
combinations for controlling products
and restricting competition. The reg
ulation of railroads is another matter
certain to receive duo consideration ,
nnd it is ono which will require very
careful treatment. The complete de
pendence of the now states for their
development upon railroad communica
tion requires that tlio policy regarding
the railroads , while giving adequate
protection to the interests of the people
ple , shall not be of a nature to ox-
oluJe capital from this clusa ot
investment in the now states. As
wo have heretofore observed , the
dnngor that confronts the constitutional
conventions Is that they will do too
much , overloading the constitutions
with matters which can and should bo
left to legislation. Only that which ia
fundamental should bo Incorporated in
these instruments , Already numerous
propositions huyo boon submitted which
it is not necessary totako constitutional
recognition of < even if they would not
bo wholly out of place in the funda
mental law. On the whole , however ,
there is good reason to expect , from the
cpiritnnd disposition thus far shown ,
that the completed work of the conven
tions will furnish Httlo causa for unfa
vorable criticism.
VAN wrcws
The fact that ox-Sonator Van Wyck
has recently bought n lot on Dupont
Circle at Washington , affords the mer
cenaries who uro about to retire from
the Omaha Hcralil an opportunity for
firing a parting volley at Van Wyck.
The assertion ia made that Mr. Van
Wyck has decided to give up Nebraska
as his rcsidonco nnd mnko Washington
his permanent homo. This unfounded
suitorocnt is coupled with a rohnsh of
stale falsehoods nnd inuondocs about
Van Wyck living in n barn in Nebraska
and entertaining royally in a palatial
mansion at Washington.
This sort of badinage served its pur
pose during the campaign of 18SGbut Is
entirely out of place now when Van
Wyck is no longer in publio llfo.
There may bo tlfosa who bnllovo
that Van Wyck committed an
unpardonable crime In building n , rosl-
donco at Washington in which ho on-
tortalnod people from Nebraska nnd his
colleagues In congress , but no fair-
minded person will contend that John
Sherman and Allen G. Thurman , both
of whom built and own houses In Wash
ington , abandoned their homos in Ohio
just as soon as they acquired mansions
at the national capital. What would
apply to Sherman and Thurmnn , applies
to Elaine , Windom , Cameron , Allison
and a dozen other publio men who own
residences in Washington nnd still re
tain homos in their respective states.
But Van Wyck never lived in a barn
in Nebraska , unless it was during terri
torial days. The adventurers who seek
to belittle and blackguard him do not
know perhaps that Van Wyck lived in
Nebraska from ton to fifteen years be
fore they sot foot on our soil. In 1876
ho was ono of the members of the con
vention that framed our stnto oonstit u-
tion , and he has resided in Nebraska
ever since.
Without definite knowledge as to
what ho proposes to do with his Wash
ington lot wo venture to say that ho
has bought it as an investment. The
lot is located opposite thoVnn Wyck man
sion that ling been such a source of ma
lignant gossip. . It is perhaps the most
eligible site for a residence in that
fashionable quarter. If Van Wyck
builds another "mansion" upon that letHe
Ho will probably sell the ono opposite
andipossibly ho may soil both. At best ,
these purchases nnd sales are his own
affair and do not concern the public.
The "barn. " in which Vart Wyck sloops
when'he ' lives in Nebraska is reputed
to bo a very hnndsomo and comfortable
farm house , with some twelve hundred
acres of cultivated land nnd orchard as
an attachment. Possibly Mr. Van
Wyck may retire from Nebraska but
wo believe that ho.will make himself
hoard several times before ho bids this
state a final farewell.
TIIICRK is no moro necessity for the
county commissioners to impose an ad
ditional levy of ono mill on the taxable
property of Douglas county for the pur
chase of a now poor farm than a wagon
has need of a-fifth wheel. A one-mill
levy means an assessment on the tax
payers of about twenty-five thousand
dollars. It would be extravagance for
thorn to purchase a large tract of land
for a poor farm , or to
erect an expensive building for
the use of paupers. The poor farm
as a farrn is a misnomer. It has never
boon self-sustaining. It did not even
raise sufficient garden truck for the in
mates , and the few tons of hay and few
bushels of corn which were grown on
the present site cost the county moro
than they could bo bought for in the open
market. For nil present necessities ,
however , the now county hpspital , when
completed , can bo used for the shelter
of the county's poor. Them will bo suf
ficient room for auch a purpose in ono of
the farther wings of that largo building
without interfering with its legitimate
object ns a hospital. Within two or
three years at the most , the sale of the
present poor farm lota will not the
county commissioners sufficient to pur
chase suitable grounds and buildings
for an alms house.
THERE can bo little doubt but that
drought is severely aliooting portions
of Dakota and Montana. Depending ,
ns a greater part of this country does ,
on Irrigation , the situation is critical
when it is romemborcd that little snow
foil in the mountains last winter , and
in consequence the streams nnd rivers
nro drying out and disappearing Both
farmers nnd stockmen are fooling the
effects of this condition. Water is
needed for cattle nnd fears are enter
tained that unless the dry spell Is soon
broken stock will sufforaoveroly. There
is yet time for a now growth o' grass
and with sulllcient rains stock can bo
put in fair condition for the coming
wintsr. The prospects , however , look
dubious at prcbont.
UNDAUNXKD by the unfriendly atti
tude of the government to polygamy
and Morinonism , the work of bringing
converts to this country does not at all
seem to discourage the elders of the
church. A fortnight ago three hun
dred , and fifty Mormons entered Castle
Garden , and last week ono hundred and
forty-six wore landed on American shore
.bound for Utah.
OTHER LAKDS THAN 007JS.
The apprehension of oubinot chances In
Franco , growing out of churgos tnado ugainst
two members of tlio Kovornmout Uulng par
ties to corrupt practices , nppoars to bare
passed , There have boon so roauy ministerial
crlsus In Franco that they huvo ceased to'
attract uuy great amount ofuttcutioj. Th *
cabinet has boon changed and remodeled so
often that people have porno to think that It
makes but Httlo allToronco who holds a cab

ministry. Sometimes the whole cabinet gags

should have Uttlght the French the folly of
trying to malijMfi the system of a responsi

pattern by thar.Unltod States and have a re
sponsible executive , with power to ohooso
htfl own advisors , as the president ot the
United States does , instead of parceling out
the responsibility between the president nnd
the cabinet. The attempt to engraft mo
narchical methods upon a republican form of
government has not boon successful In
Franco , and It would bo much wiser to profit
by the experience ot the many ministerial
crises nnd change the system altogether to
that of the United States , which has boon
tried and found to work well.

Tliore is no doubt that the relations between -
tweon thn idug ol Italy nnd the pope of
Homo are now severely strained. Never
theless , It Is the general opinion that the
latter will not go to Spain or any other
country , but will continue to reside In the
capital of Italy. The reasons , expressed In
the briefest possible forms , are thoso. 1. The
Italian people nro faithful to the church ,
as well as loyal to tlio state , nnd will
persuasively Implore the pope to stay. 3. A
vast majority of the colloRO of cardinals U
compose of Italians , who can and. will re
strain the man of their choice from abandon
ing n country which i bis nnd theirs.
8. The pope la bishop of Homo. Historically ,
ho derives bis claim to bo primate
of Christendom from the fact. The doctrine
of the church Is that St. Peter was the flrst
bishop of Homo , and , Ipso facto , the flrst
pqpo. A pope who did not reside at Rome
would shoclc the sensibilities and tend to
shako tbo faith of the faithful. 4. The
pope has , In fact , exercised his spiritual
functions since losing his temporal power ,
nnd ho can still do so. C. The exper
iment of removing the papal resilience from
Rome has been tried with osults that bring
a shudder when'recalled to the mind of every
devout and educated Roman Catholic. "Tho
Babylonian captivity" is xvhat historians of
the church style the residence of the popes
during the larger part of the fourteenth cen
tury at Avignon , In France.

The Lisbon government's prompt accept
ance of Lord Salisbury's suggostioa to ar
bitrate will leave little work for the three
British war ships ordered to Dolagoa Hay.
As Portugal confd not pretend to cope with
John Bull in a resort to arms she must ba
quite content to't leave her case to the de
cision of an umplra Still this is a gain for
Great Britain , b'uiuso she has protected
her subjects from high-handed treatment ,
aud the arbitrator may also decide against
Portugal's right rte > withdraw her conces
sion. Even wlttfa contrary decision It will
bo for the umpire and not the Portuguese
government to clgtujrniluo what compensa
tion shall be made to the railroad company.
The reports ot Portuguese violence at Dola-
goa Bay were evidently oragijorated , and It
Is even said thattho company's agents
themselves turned over the property to the
officials ana stoodvon their legal rights ,
while the Lisbon'tir ! { ctors of the enterprise
have all along been considerably less de
monstrative than tits London shareholders.
Practically.thowholo 'difficulty ia ia train

plained will now bo 'Increased ' , as Interna

Weeks ago the trial ot Boulangor was sot
down as sure to take place In August , but
thcro Is much reason to believe that tlio
French government will never seriously
enter uucm that trial nt all. Indictment la
now said to nave boon found against Bou-
lanpor , Count Dillon and HenryRochofort
"for conspiring against the safety of the
state. " But Boulangor has shown the gov
ernment a olean and very lively sot of heels ,
nnd appears to bo having an extremely good
time in England , where , for some inexplica
ble reason , the Prince of Wales takes very
kindly to him. For the sake of appearances
the French government may proceed with
the prosecution , hut at the most that pros-
qcution can amount to little or nothing.
Besides this , the republic as it now exists is
much better oft while Boulanger and Roche-
fort are in voluntary exile than it would bo if
they were in Franco. If the government Is
wise U will formally lot the whole matter
drop. The government Itself may bo In
exile before long.

The story of the fanatics who have boon
perishing of thtrat almost within sight of the
Nile , forced back by soldiers xvhenovor they

fail to excite the world's sympathy for their

will rejoice when it is certain , as it soon
must bo , that their enterprise has failed.
The expedition sent north by the mahdl's
successor , which was defeated last week
south of Wady Unify , has for its purpose
nothing loss than the conquest of Lower
Egypt. The Emir Nojoaml was sent by the
despot of Khartoum to annihilate the khcdlvo
and Queen Victoria unless they embraced
tbo true faith. For two weeks before the
light , reports almost daily reached Wady
JIalfa of the emir's advancing forces , and
troops were hurried forward to strengthen
the river garrisons. It was reported several
days before the fight that the advancing
force numbered 8,000 men. The dispatches
from Cairo fix the Arab losses in
the battle at 000 killed and TOO taken
prisoners But this terrible reverse
and the subsequent sufferings of the
Invaders duo to tho1water famine have not ,
it appears , cliookc1 1 fhiir noithward advance.
'
It was reported t\v'o weeks ago that the
emir's purpose \na mipposed to bo , not to
make a direct nttaftk upon Wada Haifa , butte
to circumvent th&V'Iortlllod place , pushing
north of it nnd culling off its communication
with Egypt. Thlji iij exactly what he in
dolner. The battld ( occurred about twenty
miles south ofVdy ( nulfa. Colonel Wodo-
house , who commimls tbo Egyptian force ,
' '
reports that the oi'ii'my , 5,000 strong , Is mov
ing north , mill ho advises the concentration
ot a strong forca a | I Assouan to co-opurato
with him at Wmlil ilulfu , and block the
further advance of ituo rebel army. In such
an emergency it is p joursa to bo oxpactod
that a force ndeqij'jjto to completely over
whelm tuo iiivailura will confront them
while- they are still on the confines of Egypt
proper. The people of lower Egypt will
hardly expect n body of 5,000 poorly armed
Arabs to succeed iir their will attempt to
overrun the delta. .

England doubtless liaa nothing to offer that
will loosen the hold of Russia upon the shah.
Tim close relations of Persia and Russia are
not sustained by friendly feelinira , The czar
hus not received his jwiMmt to build a rail

Emigrants to Brazil nro warned by the ox-
jicrlcnco reported of these from Great Brit
ain. Up to now the failure ot British Immi
gration In Brazil has been appalling. Cana-
ca had lit ono time 450 British colonists ,
whoso survivors loft In despair In 1878. There
nro now only three British families there In
the forest without any road In any direction.
Assunguy , which Is only sixty miles from
Curlttba , the capital of Parana , has only
about ono hundred British colonists out of
nearly ono thousand who were planted Micro
some twenty years ago , the remainder hav
ing all died , or , lllco these ntCannnoa , having
been transported back to England nnd Ire
land nt tbo publio expense , and in the utmost
misery nnd degradation. Even to-day no
sort of roads for carts have been mndo to As-
suiiguy from anywhere , although the hard
working Central Immigration society mane n

the colonists nt Assuuguy as lately as May ,

King Jn Jo , the African potentate , who Is
nov n prisoner In the West Indies , applied to
the British government recently for permis
sion to come to England on the ground that
his health was per and ho needed a change

physicians in St. Vincent examine the distin
guished exile , and they reported that ho was
suffering merely from advanced ago nnd

What la the nature of the publio interest
which creates the demand that is mot by the
heroes of the Sullivan nnd Kilrain stamp ! It
is not love for athletics , ns the practice of
athletic sports is ns distinct from profes
sional pugilism as day is from night , and the
patrons of prize fights are generally In their
own persons the least athletic of mortals. It
Is the same taste which enjoyed the gladia
torial combats in ancient times , which loved
bear-baiting in the medieval periods , and
which glories in dog fights and bull fights nt
the present day. It is the streak of savagery
which occasionally breaks through the glass
of civilization , and however unflattering it
may bo to our ideas of human progress It
must bo accepted as n fact.
Subjnof to Revision.
Atlanta Constitution.
We sincerely regret that Mr. Jake Kilrain
did not wipe up about half the state of
Mississippi with Mr. John Sullivan on yes
terday.
Wo do not mind saying nt this distance-
that Mr. Sullivan is about the nnlovllost
person In sacred or profane history a moro
sodden brute a duller or moro sensual
human we uro not at this writing able to
summon from any written page. It Is not
often that a man wins the world's champion
ship In nny department , however debased ,
without carrying to his Imminent height
something of the world's regard and en
thusiasm. But Mr. Sullivan has not suq-
ceeded In doing this. Where one man not a
better wished him success in yesterday's
battle , there were a thousand who hoped
that Kilrain would literally Jar the earth
with him. Mr. Sullivan's record the day before -
fore tlio fight of eating three chickens , a
hunk of beef , several pots of vegetables , and
then falling asleep while ho was being
shaved , gives some idea of the sort of human
anaconda ho is. Wo repeat our regrota that
tie was not smashed and mangled at Uluk'e
mills on yesterday.
Of course , these remarks are written on
the presumption that Mr , Sullivan will carry
out Ills advertised purpose of returning homo
via Loulsvlllo. They are subject to revision
if ho should take a notion to change his route
and Journey northward by the Pjeduumt Air.

The general western manager of the Amor-
lean Express company has issued nn official
circular giving uotlco that bis territory lias

states of Nebraska , Iowa , Missouri and Kan
sas , ot which ho is made tho-general super
intendent. Heretofore his torritorv hus
been- confined to lown. Ho will rnnko bis

Mr. Garner will appoint a superintendent
for each state and has already imrnod P. K.

"Our proposition is still with the city
council , " says William Wallace , when asked
whether there was anything now in the ef
fort to soil , for market house purposes , the
exposition building. "Thatrbody , so.far as I
know , is working.on it. There is no means
of knowing or finding out when wo will got
a report. If the city wunt : a market house
she cannot do bettor than take that building ,
because is will answer the purpose admir
ably , nnd never again will an opportunity bo
offered to get ono as cheap. "
In its present condition , according to Mr.
Wallace , the Grand opera house will always
be an expense to its owners , and that is the
reason , it is asserted , they are anxious to got
rid of it. Tlio theater ran SS.OOO behind on
last season's business.
Mr. Wallace says also that If they succeed
in selling the building neither Mr. Craw
ford's contract nor anything else will stand
In the way of its bointrturned over at once.
This statement , however , is contradicted by

nrrcsted for having .committed tno crime.
The judge niso talked with bar nnd learned
that hllo know no tiling about thee mon , hnd
navet- employed them nnd was not possessed
ot moan * to employ counsel , During the
noun recess Judge IIopowoll consulted his n-s-
noclntoii. stated the situation nnd they agreed
that 11 tuler the circumstances ho was legally
Justified in ignoring tnlcnt hired by Ellcr-
slcit and appointing nn attorney to tnlta
charge ot the girl's onso.
Tha clilof ground upon which this action
W.IA based Is the fact thnt to ncmilt her it
may bo necessary to convict Ellcrsiclr ,
nnd the court concluded she
would not bo properly defended by
lawyers under obligation to Ellorslclc for
their pay. Accordingly the Judge appointed
\W S. Strawn to take charge of her interests.
Bylor nnd. Thompson , of course , entered n
protest. Two dnys inter , they wont to
Shcrlfl Coburn and nskod for admission to

dnmus compelling Mr. Coburn to admit them
to. the Jail. In the application , they slated
thnt the tlofonannt hnd employed them per
sonally and thnt the sherilT had refused to
lot them consult with tlicirclinnU They also
p resented n copy ot Judge Hopewoll's order ,
but failed to nccompuny It with nny state

tissue of falsehoods. Mrs. Ellcrntck has
not , bo declares , been permitted to tnlk with
the prisoner but once since Judge Hopowoll's
order was mndo , nnd that time the cnso was
not mentioned. Ono of the Jail ofllcors was
with them every mlnuto they were together ,
under instructions to prevent them saying
