What Omaha and Council Blulln should unite in securing is a permanent free bridge to more firmly unlto two com munities whoso interests uro practically Itucpurable. A STiiAidirr oTor ( of fifty thousand dollars is said to have boon mtulo for the governorship of Colorado. Political honora coino high in the Centennial Btato , but the sillc shirt statesmen rarely haggle over the price. TlIK prohibltlor. state convention re- nlllrmod its devotion to the so-called principles of St. John in proclaiming its mission to bo the wrecking of the repub lican jKirty. A liberal contribution from the tlomocratlo campaign fund is in order. THIS democrats of Idaho have con cluded the melancholy duty of nominat ing a ticket. The fact that the Mormons of the Snuko river and neighboring valleys - loys are not "In it" this year , loft barely enough enfranchised democrats among whom to divldo the empty honor. residents of the north eldo propose to take an itotivo part In the coming ; interstate exposition and make an exhibit that in it'jolf will bo worth the price of admission. A horicH of artistically tinted vlo\vs of the Nebraska Central bridge on paper will form the center plcco of the collection , Jlankod with an allegorical sketch of the two million dollar postofllco. A KENTUCKY duel resulted in the death of ono and the fatal wounding of the other participant. The Kentucky colonels who are shouting , at a liberal Hum per shout , for "our boys1' anl : "the homo" in Nebraska , might profitably turn their jaws homeward and pro tect tlio blue grass homos from the re volver and the bowlo knito. Tins pcoplo of the west have had no more zealous anil devoted champion In congress than John A. Anderson of Kan sas. An nctlvo and able friondof the producers , ho was never found wanting when corporations sought legislative ad vantages over the people. It Is to bo re gretted that the people whom ho lias wrvod faithfully and well permitted jealous rivals to encompass his defeat for renomlnation. THK glasticutus will niako Its appear- unco over the main entrance of the city hall within the next three days. These who have never seen a glastlcutua will oxnorlonco a sensation when they look upon this carved imago of the pro-hls- torio boast that had wings , scales , dragon's teeth and vulture's claws. 'Daniel in his most prophetic vision never saw unvthing that would resemble It. Tnu mineral crop of the Btato receives o fresh boost. Ever since the discovery of silver in the canons of the Mlnnocad- use , the progressive residents of Casa county felt the necessity of holding up their end , and tliolr efforts have been ro- vrardod with iron ere galoro. "With fillvor , Iron and coal studding her undar- plmiing , it may bo said that Nebraska's foundation is reasonably secure. The value of this underground -wealth , however - over , cuts no figure with the people. The wealth of fertility on the surface is w > great that it doca not pay to fritter nvruy time and labor on the minerals bo- JlKltli. NRltl.l8K.l' $ FI Kaon special bulletin Issued from the census department on different topics is a favorable surprlso to Nobrankaua. Tlio last bulletin concerning the financial condition ol the Btnto , by counties , IB , when nil things nro considered , a reve lation , la 1880 the gross debt of Ne braska , by counties , was fh'o million two linndro'l ami six thousand eight hundred and eight dollars , while In ISlh ) it Is but live million three hundred and two thou sand and ninety-one dollarn , tin increase of less than ono hundred thousand del lars. Nobrouka ranks tilth in increase of county inilubtcdncas. Yet when wo remember that during the past ten years many now counties have boon organized ; older counties have built inugnllleont court houses Douglas and Lancaster being included among thorn thousands of dollars have been voted to railroads ; improved and substantial bridges have taken the places of the cheaper ones thnt with these many Improvements and noivly admitted counties the debt has in creased but ninety-five thousand two hundred and clghty-thrco dollars , the showing in wonderful. This speaks in high terms for the imin- ngmnent of county affairs , and to the credit of the stnto it may bo said that in substantial and permanent public Im provements wo ( stand second to no state of our slzo and age. There are perhaps a dozen counties In Nebraska entirely free from debt , and many others rapidly paying out. John son county has just completed an ele gant court house , while Dodge and Butler - lor will finish two fine buildings this fall. iV half dozen counties will vote court house bonds in the spring , but u. debt of that nature is not to bo avoided. Such contracts maQo by a county'u poo- pie arc only evidence of their thrift and onlorpriau. The tenth census , in its dif ferent branches , will do Nebraska much good. It is all an exciting story of the upbuilding of a western state that must eventually become ono of the greatest in the union. THK TII'O WILD WESTS. A cablegram brings the information that Buffalo Bill our own William and Dr. Carver are about to treat the ( .Itlzons of Hamburg with .a veritable wild west show. It will bo romcmborod that Cody and Carver started out to- Bother , giving their initial performance in Omaha. They journeyed to Now York and finally , through jealousy and misunderstanding , split wide open. Cody went to London and Carver organized another troupe similar to Cody's and also started on a starring tour through Europe. Ho followed Cody , and aimed , if possible , to give a performance in the sumo city and at the same time. In Bar- liti and Vienna this year Carver did a profitable business while Cody foil Hut. They are both In Hamburg at the pres ent time , and have announced an indefi nite stay in that city. Carver beat Cody there three days and leased most all the available show ground and con tracted for all the electric ll < fht. This left Cody to pitch his tents in the dark within a few foot of Carver's , and for some reason Carver is doing all the busi ness. This has caused Colonel Cody's ' blood to boll , and the feeling of hatred has gotten among hia cowboys and In dians. They want to fight. They scorn the mock exhibitions which now appear tame and commonplace , and yearn to go at it in regular western style and for "bl--ud. " Had it not bden for the civic authorities they would have como together Monday , und , had they , the poaeoablo citizens of Hamburg would have seen not only a wild but a decidedly wooly west. Our Colonel Cody was the pride of London and Paris fair ladies Bonding him their perfumed notes in countless numbers , and the Rt. Hon. "William Gladstone was llnttorcd to take his hand , lint In other foreign capitals Carver has been the lion , and Colonel , the lion. J31fTalo Bull , has been occupying a back scat , as It were. A consolidation of the Wild West Is certainly in order. IN TUB TMIIFF. Senator Aldrieh has proposed nn amendment to the tariff bill the object of which is to secure reciprocal trade between the United States and countries producing sugar , molasses , coffee , tea and hides. It is proposed that after July 1 , 1S91 , the president shall suspend the frco Importation of any of those arti cles from any country producing them , which imposes duties or other exactions upon the agricultural or other products of the United States which ho may deem to " bo reciprocally unequal or unjust. This practically amounts to saying that if at the date at which the proposed tariff Is to go into effect the countries from which wo im port the articles named have not aban doned all duties upon the products of tlio United States there shrill bo collected upon such articles the duties proscribed in the amendment. In the case of sugar the house bill pro vides that It shall como in free up to No. 10 Dutch standard , and that nil sugars above that standard In color shall pay a duty of four-tenths of ono cent pot- pound. This would enable consumers to obtain n considerable proportion of their supply of sugar frco of duty , because grades above No. IS are available for domestic use without rollning. The In evitable effect would bo the reduction of the price of sugar to the people , But the senate finance committee , or a ma jority ol it , In which all the republican members wore not included , changed the provision in the house bill BO as to mnko all sugars nbovo No. 13 and not above No. 10 pay a duty of throe- tombs of ono cent per pound , and all above the latter standard a duty of six- tenths of ono cent per pound. Whether so intended or not , this change was dis tinctly in the interest of the sugar trust. The proposed amendment gooa Btill farther in providing a duly on su gar not above No. 13 and increasing the duty on all above that standard. It is dlfilcult to conceive upon what theory senators who have any regard for the Interests of American consumers can support this proposition. Bogard- ing the loss Indefensible propasal of the senate finance committee In the bill now under consideration the Now York Tribiint said : "How some republican senators of the committee have been In duced to take the side of the trust , and to favor the retention of duties oa augur from No. 13 to No. 10 in color , bus boon a mystery to republican voters through out the country , who are glad to hear that Senator Allison refuses to tLHflont and will dispute the matter - tor in the interest of his con stituents and require n vote thereon in open senate. The issue ap pears exceedingly simple. Removal of duties on raw sugar would not benefit consumers to the full extent desired , but would simply put additional millions into the pockets of refiners if the trust could fix at pleasure the soiling price of all grades of reflnod sugar. Senators who vole to take off the duty from the lower grades are voting to give the consinnors the full benefit of the re duction of duty. The fact that tlAs fight on bahalf of the trust has boon made conspicuously by the so-oallod independ ent refiners is significant. It suggests that they would not find'it hard to divldo thu plunder with the trust , if consumers could b3 forced to my an unreasonable prlca for all refined sugar. " It may bo that the senators who approve the sched ule of duties In the proposed amendment bellovo It to bo necessary to the policy wh'lch SqQutor Davis of Minnesota has clw , actorized as ono of "coercive persua sion , " but if the sugar-producing coun tries with which reciprocity is sough t should decline to bo thus persuaded the result would bo rather severe to the pockets of American consumers and very satisfactory to the trust. And the prob abilities are that thosa countries generally - ally will not bo influonsed by any such coercive measure , mainly for the reason that they cannot alTord to ab.indon any material part of their revenue from Im ports. This is especially the case with Cuba , from which wo get moro than thlr- ty-oight per cent of the sugar wa import. Tlio indications are , however , that the policy of compelling the countries south of us to cntor into trade reciprocity will bo tried , and if unsuccessful the Ameri can consumer , under the conditions pro posed , will bo worse otl than now so far as sugar is concerned. TUB QUESTION OJ ? HK.ll It appears to bo generally conceded at Washington that a reapportionment bill will not bo passed at tho" present session of congress. It Is not necessary that ono should bo , as the law provides that a reapportionment shall bo made every ton years , and the last ono having gone into ofTcct with the Forty-olghth congress the ono to bo made under the orcsont census will properly become effective at the election for the Fifty- third congress , In 1892. The pas sage of a reapportionment bill might therefore safely bo loft to the next congress , and this may bo done if the re publicans con tain control of the house , otherwise a bill will bo passed at the second session of the present congress. It is not possible at present to deter mine what the membership of most of the states will ba under the now appor- tioumant , because the exact flguro3 of every state have not boon prepared , and for the further reason that the basis of representation is not do- cldod. It is generally assumed that this will bo about ono hun dred and eighty thousand , the prevail ing opinion balng that it is not doslrablo to materially Increase the membership of the house. States which under a larger apportionmant than at present would loao ono or moro members maybe bo expected to make a vigorous fight to retain their representation , but there are only n few such and they will doubtless - loss have to take the consequences of failure to keep pace with the progress of the other states. It Is suggested that while it is true that on the basis of ono hundred and eighty thousand some Htatos would lese a representative , It is the intention to again adopt the majority fraction , that is , ifatho popula tion of a state is too small for four mem bers and yet larger than for three , that state will bo given an additional member provided the excess of population over the requirement for the three members Is Creator tlian one-half the apportion ment figure. In this way states which now have a cartaln number of members , but have not made a very great increase in population during the past decade , may yet retain their membership on the majority fraction. The present member ship of the house Is three hundred nnd thirty , and there are few who do not re gard this number as too largo for the best Interests of legislation , but It will probably not be found practicable to prevent - vent a slight increase , In order to do justice at the same time to these states which have made great progress in pop ulation and are entitled to an Incrcasod representation , and not tov deal too severely with states that have made llttlo or no advance. In any event the question of roapporllontnont is likely to bo ono of almost infinite trouble. TUB Indian bureau has recently ro- colvod the report of the census of the Sioux tribe of Indians. The supervisor found that at the Rosebud , agonoy in South Dakota there wore 5,1(5(1 ( ( men , woman und children. As the Indian of- llco for several yours past has boon dis tributing rations for 7,500 , the depart ment commenced to wonder whit : had become of the other 2li31 Indians and their rations. Indian Agent W right was asked to explain , and ho promptly demanded a recount. The recount was ordered and only about ono hundred and twonty-llvo more Indians could bo found. An in vestigation has boon ordcrod. If Mr. Wright could only have Beourod the as- sitHanco of a St. P.xul cons us btulTor , how it might have covered n multitude of rations , are very nmmirotw from owners of property outside of the busi ness district of the wanton destruction and pulling up of sidewalks that are still in fair condition and their replace ment under ordordof the sidewalk inspector specter by now plank walks , the cost of which Is ttkxod up against the property. Tills is u hardship on u class of tax payers that are for the most part hard' ' pressed to pay their ordinary taxes. There Is no valid reason why any sidewalk in fair condition should bo torn up merely to glvo contractors a uhunco to lay anew now one. The board of publlo works should take thin mutter in hand. Ho * fora any sidewalk U condemned by the inspector it should bo also vlowud by I 'prj some member o [ ( tjo ( board. That would bo us much In the interest of the side walk inspector nstif the property ownor. Grading contactors should bo re quired to ropliipix sidewalks in as good condition ns they found them , and where they fall to do 'so they should bo uiado to pay for dtimngo1 done to sidewalks they have torn ip ) and fall to relay in good condition. THIS Inauguration of stock trains from Iowa points to Omaha is an event of great significance. ' It demonstrates that the Iowa roads fully realize the Import ance of the Omaha , market and can no longer afford to discriminate against this city and in favor of Chicago. For years THIS BKB has urged upon the manage ment of the stockyards the importance of seeking business in the western half of Iowa , but whatever ef forts wore made in that direc tion wore nullified by the foolish long liaul policy of the railroads. Cut the market prospered and expanded despite corporate discrimination and bo- cnino such a bourco of profit that Its do- inands now secure prompt attention. The result of the now movement cannot full to prove beneficial to all concerned. To the stock-growers of western Iowa it moans a profitable homo market , insur ing prompt ealcs and a great saving in time. To the railroads it means a double haul the live stock to market nnd a return in dressed form. The market will bo materially stim ulated , surrounding industries en larged to meet the demands , and the receipts and manufactured pro duct largely increased. For this grati fying change credit is duo to Manager Babcock , whoso energy nnd pcrsover- unco , coupled with his knowledge of railroad men nnd methods , enables him to successfully cope with the corpora tions. ACCORDING to the democrats of I mil ana the country is plunging headlong to destruction. The only chance of salva tion is to place the democracy again in power. It is evident the thrashing ad ministered two years ago rankloa in the party breast , and the depth of the wound inllictod may bo measured by the fustian und fabrications displayed in the plat form. They servo to show the desperate straits to which the Iloosier democracy has descended. In charging the repub lican party with all the crimes in the political catalogue the dem ocrats seek to throw dust in the eyes of the. public. But intelli gent people outside of Indiana cannot bo blinded by chaff. It Is only necessary to consider the source. Coining from a party which has wrecked the finances of Indiana , ovcrturnqd the will of the people ple expressed at tlio polls and blackened the history of the state with official scandals , they , are beneath contempt. The attempt of tho. Hoofier bourbons to hold themselves asisuporlora In honesty and administrative ability is the height of insolence. In ton years the party has swelled the debt of Indiana from half a million to three and a half million dollars lars , and the last democratic legisla ture , like its predecessors , distinguished itself by adding- half n'lnillion dollars of debt to the burdens of the taxpayers. And the condition of Indiana illustrates the condition of every state controlled by the democrats. THK Olobs-Dmocmt punctures the claim that the Grand Army encampment endorsed the sorvlco pension scheme. Out of ono thousand and seventy repre sentatives of the order at the encamp ment , loss than one-third voted on the proposition. Of the numb3r voting , ono hundred and sovonty-four wcro for and ono hundred and sixty against it. Over four-fifths ol the total representation manifested by their absence and votes their approval of existing pension legis lation and their opposition to schemes at present impracticable. Tlio fact Is that munh of the agitation for service pensions is engineered by Washington claim agents. Tina Standard oil company has the territory piped from the Indiana line to Chicago andjtv flow of natural gas will bo turned into the city by the lake in a short time. If nature is called upon to supply gas , all hope of selecting a fait site before 189o may as well bo aban doned. , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ WITH the Hnrnoy and West Leaven- worth lines added to the record of the census olllco , Omaha Is second only to Boston in electric street railway mile age.

The report of the Irish Innd commissioners n the condition of the potato crop all lirougli Irelnnd fully contlrms tbo statement f the newspapers that the blight Is unt- crsal. This stnto of affairs makes tbo out- ookfortbo pcoplo of Ireland u very gloomy no , and in the nbonco of any provision at ionic for their relief the conseiiuoneos nuy > o serious. Already they nro being advlu'd o refuse , ns a matter of sclf-proicrvatlon , to > ay.thclr rent. At n minting of the National cajuo In Dublin a few days 050 Mr. Tlmo- hy M. Ilealy said that nothing stood bo- ween the people nnd starvation during tbo ointug winter. Tbo government wi ropro * cntcd as being moat nuxlous to provide ctn- iloyment through the building of now rail- vnys , but bow could the railway net recently ) osscxl bo held to provo the government's In- cutlon to meet tbo coining famine. Ho- otted stupidity marked the whole conduct of tbo executive. It mlfsht tot bo lofr.il , ho said , for tenants to vlthhold their Innd rents during the period of distress , but thu m.ia who should pay lite rent and leave his family to starve would ba ittlo better than an assassin. Was Iraland , 10 asked , to bo placed tispiln in the position of n mendicant baforo Europe nnd America } f It should bo found necojury to appeal to Vmcrlcii and Amtralh , no part of tbo asslst- uico thus obtained ought to go to ouy man who baa paid rout during tlio last twclvo nonths.

If this ndvluo Is taken , xnd It Is very likely to bo hugely followed , .hero may bo repeated In Irelnnd before the winter is over tlio oxparlenccs of hardship ind cruelty which In tbo ptut have com manded the sympathy of tlio civilized world. Although Lord Salisbury was singularly unfortunate- bis homo policy during the parliamentary session recently brought to a close , yet ho has boon far moro successful In tils dealings with foreign nations. Not only hus bo succeeded in negotiating treaties of moro silts factory nature to England with Germany and Fr.uico in connection with the partition "of Africa , but ho lias nho within the last wcok ofloctoJ a friendly sottlomant of the dispute with Portugal nbout the terri tory on the Xauibsst and Sblro rivers , which was oa the eve of precipitating a war bo- twcon the two countries In the early part of last spring. Under tbo terms of tbe treaty Just concluded England retains tbo Shire Highlands aid : Mashoiinbind ; and , moreover , she receives tb'o promise of n first op tion of nny portion of Portuguese Af rica which tbo Lisbon government maybe bo anxious to dispose of in tbo future. This latter clause Is of particular im portance , in view of the fact that Portugal Is already in the debt of thoBritlsh government to tbo amount of several millions of pounds sterling , and that not only is her treasury empty , but that she has , moreover , failed in all her recent attempts to borrow money abroad. It Is qulto possible , therefore , that hi time the whole of the vast Portuguoscjpoa- sessions on the east coast of Africa may pass into British hands In return for British gold tendered at a moment of pressing need nt Lisbon. The fact that tbo treaty snould nave given as much satisfaction to the Portuguese as to tbo English themselves is In itself an eloquent tribute to Lord Salisbury's diplo macy and to the cleverness which bo dis played in averting n conflict from wbieb his country could have reaped no glory. * * # Russia is not without grounds of complaint against Germany , and whether , remember ing these ns ho must do , the czar will bo ap peased by anything tbo Emperor William cun offer , is a question which only tlmo can answer. Not the least of these relates to the violations of tno treaty of Berlin , which while most obnoxious to Russia was accepted and has been adhered to. But the treaty has been violated by others to the czar's detri ment , and If Germany has not openly cou- nlvod at the offense , sbo has not raised a band to overt it or redress It. Not only has the Porto failed to pay tbo money Indemnity promised to Russia nnd broken its pledge to protect the Christians in Ar menia , but steps havo- been taken In doll- auco of the treaty to create in the Balkans a strong Slav mounrchy avowedly hostile to tbo czar. Already Bulgaria 1ms annexed eastern Roumcllu , nnd her lending politician , Stanibuloff , Is now preparing for similiar en croachments iu Macedonia by procuring from the porto the appointment of three Bulgarian bishops in thnt country. Are these things to pass without remonstrance on the part of the central powers ! Was the treaty of Berlin a compact , of which the cztr was meant to bo tbo dupe ) Are the provisions which despoiled or trammeled Russia to bo enforced with rigor whllo all tbo concessions to tbo claims inudo good by battle may bo sot at naught i If such bo the flxcd policy of Germany , what has tbe czar to losfl by war of which peace is not rapidly depriving him } . * . Elghty-thrco years ago the Islet of Heligo land was captured from tbo IJancs by a Brit ish fleet under Admiral Russell , and seven years later it was formally coded to Great Britain by the treaty of Kiel. Today the representatives of her majesty will withdraw from It , nnd tomorrow , It is expected , Emperor - poror William will drop in , on his way homo from a visit totholslo of Wight , to inspect his nowly-acquired possession. The opposi tion which nt first manifested itself iu Eng land to this surrender of oven so small nnd Insignificant a portion of British territory was short lived. Tbo f'ict that the Islanders were Gorman in everything but their allegi ance deprived of much of the weight that It might otherwise have had the objection that they bad not been consulted in tlio matter. Tbo objection , moreover , has been fully met by a provision In tbo Agreement bill securing all their immunities to thorn mid giving them the option of elect ing to remain British subjects. The appeal to sentiment based oa British dlsllka to nny cession of British territory met with little response when It became evident that the nd vantages secured laEiist Africa as a part of tbo burguin weit ) of Immense value. The recog nition of the British protectorate over Zanzl bar , tbo delimitation of the "spheres of notion" on the mainland , nnd , above all , the establishment of cordial and mutually help ful relations with Germany , were n.uicily ! seen to bo wonderfully cheap ntthoprlco ; nnd so dUlllco of the bargain soon vanished. In place of this comparatively worthless bil of territory Great Britain has secured n vast uplioro of iulluonco in Africa , which will un doubtedly bo worth millions to her. King Richard on Bosworth Field would iiavo glvcu his kingdom for n horse ; Great Britain Lias exchanged u rock for a kingdom. * * * The nawly acquired territories of Franco In Africa comprise nearly the cntiro region enclosed between tho1 upper and middle courses of the Niger , Together with tbo countries still further south , which Franco clnlins by virtue of treaties raudo by Captain Qlngor , Franco may now bo aald to have un dertaken the control of nearly four-flftlis ol tha 011 tire country between tbo Sahara desert nnd the Gulf of Guinea , west of tbo morldlati of Givenwich. Little moro Is Icnown of the now protectorate * than that tbo country Is chlolly an olovnted plateau , qulto thickly populate * ! , converted to MohammotlanUin divided into several rather strong nntlvo gov ornniont'i with llttlo armies that flght 01 liorsobaok , and In part tbo homo of that superior porior and conquering race , the Fulah , who are spread over an caormoiu torritoiy. Birth n 1353 nnd Krause and Blngor la very ro- : cnt years nro practically tbo only Suropoan authorities on these countries , vbcra they made Journeys of consklcra- ) lo extent. Many towns nro found con- cluing rude Mohammedan mosques , nnd In lie southern part of the couutrr , visited by 2nptaln Dlnjjer , the pcoplo nro tolerant in liclr religious opinions. If this Information s accurate It pmotloally sottloi tlio question t the Niger. England , which through the loyal Niger company II.IH a preJomlunnt In- ucneo on thu largo nntlvo state of Sokoto , vlll control the country through which a lit- lo ; nero than one-third of the lower Nlffcr lows. The iippar river for nearly two-thirds f its entire course will bo In the hands of the Drench. This hist political move illustrates tbo rapid progress ot events la .A trlca. Only HtUo whllo ago this great region was jointed out us ono of the Unseat pieces of unexplored - explored Africa. Today wo are toldtbat tbo agents of Franco Ir.ivo . made treaties with Its icoplcs and raised the French ting over thorn. Vnother Interesting fact Is that this move- iient brings under the lulluence of"1'niuco n lumber of powerful Fulah kings. Thli great > ooplo , supposed to number about six million oula , nro the moat unique nnd Interesting of Vfrlcun races , and they nro probably doa- tliiod to bo the predominating uatlvo lullu- cnco throughout the Soudan. * * Denmark Is to send n party of navigators to explore the cast co.wt of Greenland. The iroposcd expedition will not attempt to reach ilgb latitudes and will push no farther .ban J degrees north , malting Franz Josef fjord the northernmost boundary of the expo- litlon. From this point southward to the iUth degree of north latitude the coast nnd the country will bo thoroughly stud tod. The ibject of the expedition , ns nuy , readily bo raaglncd , Is for scientific research rather .ban geographical exploration , although caro- 'ul mnpi will bo made of all regions visited. Men will accompany the expedition who will > o able to make lutalltgout anil valuable me teorological , magnetic and luttronoinlcal ob servations. The laws of winds , tides nnd em-routs will bo faithfully studied. The eco logical formations will bo examined as thor oughly as possible and the fauna and Horn of the region will bo carefully noted uud pecl- niens collected. Since it Is not tbo object of tbo expedition to reach tbo farthest possible northern point , the two years of its absence will not bo fraught with so great dangers as these which beset tlio expeditions of Do Long and Grcely. Still , they will not be uutnbtcd with hazard. * . * * The opening of the Mombasa & Nyanza railroad , a couple of days ago , marks tbo be ginning , perhaps , of the Important work of opening up East Africa to civilizing Influ ences nway from the coast line. Mombasa is on the cast coast , a little north of Zanzibar and almost directly cast of the lower part of Lalto Victoria Nyanza. With highways of commerce opened between tlio navigable parts ot the NIle and the lakes , and tbonco to the east coast , a work which can bo accom plished In much less time than was required to develop the interior of this country , Africa , which has already become an Important field for pioneer colonists , will soon bo settled by largo bodies of European emigrants. * * * In the persecution and banishment of the .Tows the czar of Russia is merely repeating the blunders of bigoted uionarchs of past ages. Ferdluaud of Spain and Louis XIV. of Franco inflicted Incalculable Injury upon their respective countries by banishing many thousands of their most Industrious subjects , thus giving Etiflana a supremacy in manu factures which she has never lost. While tbo emperor of nil tbo Hussim is imitating tbcso examples the llntteroM of despotism tire telling the world how Aviso a monarch ho Is and liow much bo Is devoted to the wclf.iro of his subjects , to bo muu POIiITIOATj O1IOW OHO\V. The returns from Nnnco county , Mr. Mcik- lojohn's home , show that , that gcntlcmnu hns a solid delegation. Tbo report that ho would not carry his own county for the congres sional nomination was what , in the classic language of the west , Is known as a "cam paign Ho. " An alliance plcnlo was held near York Thursday , and the speakers of the day wore Hnrlan and McKoigbnn. Mr , Harlan made a logical argument for the principles of tbe republican party. McKclghnu proposed his usual panaceas for the relief of nmnkuul , in cluding all the visionary schemes in the cata logue. It was charged in the course of Hnr- lan's remarks that McKcighan hud defended Cleveland's ' pension vetoes. Mr. McKcighan denied that ho bad done any such thing , but Mr. Harlan had the proof in the shnpo of documents , and tbo great dcmocratlc-grcon- back-atllanco-tomporanco orator was obliged to wilt. Tbo result was that hundreds of farmers wcro disgusted with MoKolghan's harangue and pledged their support to Har- lau. Colonel Bentley , chairman of tbo prohibi tion state central committees , was the loudest In favor of a prohibition ticket. The fact that ho failed to bo nominated for governor has caused him to bellovo that prohibitionists are ungrateful as well as republics. General Van Wyck speaks In Omaha Mon day , and it may bo that ho will -throw some light upon the question as to whether or not ho will accept the congressional nomination in tbo big First. Young Mr. Bryan , tbo tariff oracle and or ator , is making a campaign all over the dis trict. IIo thinks tluit It ho keeps up bis lick until November a no will not bo beaten over six thousand. The democratic party of Nebraska has pre sented tbrco Bills to the public William J. Bryan , William A. McKelghan and William II. Thompson. Tno public will undoubtedly reciprocate next November by giving the democratic party n stand olt.
