IN view of overtures being in ado by
the democrats of Nebraska to pool issues
with the alliance , the oplnionsof eastern
party organs regarding the union will
prove interesting , particularly to the
farmers. The Brooklyn JZaylc warns the
democracy that it must steer clear ol
"certain agrarians and iconoclasts re
turned from western nnd southern
states. " "There is "
no tolling , says the
.E jfc ; , "to what measures of madness
thcso inon may seek to commit the dem
ocratic party. Judging from certain de
mands miulo by the Farmers' alliance in
the southern commonwealths' wo may
o'xpcct to witness the introduction ol
bills as wild and visionary as
the worst dreams of a chronic
dyspeptic. " The Eagle suggests that
sensible men in the republican anil dem
ocratic parties como together to defeat
"tho looting schemes of > fanatics who
wore washed to the front on the top
wave of Tuesday's triumph. " "Fanat
ics , " "visionaries , " "madmen" and
"chronic dyspeptics" are not the endearing -
ing terms that usually precede a politi
cal union. The east will have none of
it , and should the Nebraska democracy
attempt to push the "wild dreams
of chronlo dyspeptics , " it will b (
promptly and vigorously eat upon ,
The Jtaijk voices the honest partj
sentiment , ami reiterates what Till

A TIMK FOtl STUDY.
A largo majority of Iho mombora-oloct
to the next legislature of Nebraska have
no practical knowledge of law making.
Many of thorn have necessarily only n
very limited acquaintance with parlia
mentary practice. It la safe to say that
not u few of thorn have something to
learn of existing statutes , nnd of the ro-
qulromcnts nnd limitations imposed by
the organic law upon the legislative
branch of the government. There will
bo enough men of practical oxporlonco
In both houses to point the way to
organization and the preliminary
work necessary to put the legisla
ture in a position to do busi
ness , hut some of the men nro dangerous
flto leaders.
It IB a notorious fact that bail leader
ship and ignorance of legislative usage
are responsible for useless or vicious
oglslatlon in most of the states. Every
.wo . years the responsibility of lawmaking -
making is devolved upon men who
mvo no practical knowledge of such
duty , and who do not take the trouble
joforo entering upon It to Inform them-
lolvcs as to what course they may or
mist pursue. Knowing almost nothing
> f parliamentary requirements , very
Ittlo regarding existing laws , nnd still
ess of constitutional permissions nnd
nhlbltions , they stop into the loglsla-
Ivo arena wholly unprepared for the
ivork they wish to do , but pretty sure to
make themselves ridiculous and by their
tupidity obstruct and retard the course
if business , oven if they do not succeed
n getting into the statute books im
practicable or injurious laws. The
cglslatlon of this country bears
abundant evidence of the ill-directed
abors of poorly-informed legislators ,
iomo of which has worked very great
njury.
The men of this clas .who have boon
elected to the Nebraska legislature
should endeavor to study the manuals
and previous legislative records nnd lit
hemsplvos for the great responsibility
of law makers for moro than a million of
people. They will doubtless bo sur
prised to find , if they earnestly address
themselves to the task , how much there
s to learn , and do the best they may
something will still have to bo gained
by practical experience. But wo are
ontirclj' sure that such equipment as
they may bo nblo to obtain .during the
line before the legislature convenes
they will find very serviceable in the
work that is before thorn , and it is an
obligation they ewe to their constit
uents.
STAND FllOM UffDKR.
The growth and prosperity of Omnha
during the next two years will depend
argoly on the character of the men
chosen next month to manage city af-
iilrs. Nine ward councilmen will bo
chosen , on whom will rest much of the
responsibility of advancing or retarding
the progress of the city.
The combine now controlling the city
ouncil has shown itself utterly unwor
thy of public confidence or support. Ev
ery page of its rc'cord is stamped with
obbory , dishonesty and venality. At
the outset it fortified itself by bestowing
nvish public favors on franchised corpo-
tions * regardless of the rights of the
people , nnd when it was overwhelmingly
repudiated at the polls last December it
purchased a now lease of power with
nonoy extorted from the corporations.
It is a matter of court record that flvo
thousand dollars wore raised to purchase
and control mercenary democrats who
bartered their manhood to place the com
bine in control of the council and its
principle committees.
From that moment tnx-oators nnd bnr-
nnclcs have had free access to the city
treasury. Every effort made by
the minority to reduce ex
penses and dispense with sine-
euro officers drawing inflated salaries
was mot by the solid twelve , who not
only balked every movement toward
economy , but actually multiplied offices
for the benefit of the Twcnty-oightors.
The multitude of barnacles at the pub
lic crib nro there solely to draw salaries
in return for uolitical services rendered
to members of the combino.
The odious record of trickery and
mercenary scheming which marks the
recent history of the combine has no
parallel in municipal affairs In the
west. It is a succession of knavish
pretenses , high-handed recklessness and
downright rascality. If any member of
tlio combine dare seek a "vindica
tion" at tho. polls , THIS KICK proposes to
drag out the skeletons in the Tammany
closet and show the public what manner
of men control city affairs and seek to
fasten themselves on the public by the
cohesive power of plunder and patron-
AMKltlCAN GITIZI'.XSIIW.
This was the sentiment to which the
lion. Grover Cleveland responded at the
Thurmnn banquet in Columbus , Ohio.
It is an inspiring theme , rich in sugges
tions f elevated thought nnd ennobling
sentiment. There is no prouder Altlo
than that of American citizen , Citizen
ship In this republic confers upon a man
greater honor and larger opportunity for
usefulness to his follow men than citizen
ship in any other land. It confers rights
and powers In the exorcise of which the'
humblest in condition is the poor of the
most favored. It opens to nil who ro-
colvo it a pathway to public honors in the
service of the people. It is the badge of
sovereignty , currying with it the high-
.ost prerogative of authority under free
institutions. American citizenship com
prehends all that mon can enjoy , under
the necessary restraints of government ,
of Individual rights and liberty , and far
moro than is conferred by any other cit
izenship' .
The occasion when , Mr.- Cleveland
spoke certainly warranted him in treat
ing his theme in this spirit. It was In
honor of n man whoso pol'ticnl career
has splendidly illustrated the possibili
ties of American citizenship , and
there were present a largo
number of distinguished citizens ,
the records of many of whom boarllko
testimony. But the ox-prcsldont did not
rlso to the character of the occasion.
While Mr. Thunnan raado no reference
to politics except to fay that ho was not
and would not bo a candidate for any of-
lice , Mr. Cleveland improved the oppor
tunity to make a political speech , In
which the sentiment given him to talk
to was largely lost sight of. lie talked
'or tlio people outsldo of the bnnquot
mil , who would bo reached the next
nornlng by the press of the country ,
rather thnn for these who wore his ira-
nodlato auditors. There was a chance
, o make n point for "my policy , " and the
'ullost ' possible advantage wns taken of
t. There was never n more palpable
nstnnco of an attempt to make personal
political capital at the sacrifice of every
iroprloty nnd dignity belonging to an
occasion ossonltiilly social and non-pollt-
cnl in Its nature. There unquestlona-
jly were democrats there who did np-
irovo the vlows expressed by Mr. Clove-
nnd , as there certainly nro thousands in
-ho country who will not ngroo with
thorn , anil there are many more who
will ixigrot that the acknowledged loader
of the party should have shown so llttlo
discretion and sense of propriety as to
nave , mndo the event of honoring the
jlrthday of another loader of their
party the occasion for a very common-
plnco stump speech.
The circumstance furnishes another
forcible example of the solicitude with
which Mr. Cleveland looks forward to
189i Ho sees former friends dropping
away from him and fools the urgent
necessity of utilizing every opportunity
that offers to counteract the influence of
these desertions. Ho will accomplish
little in this direction by such efforts as
lie maclo at the Thunnan banquet.
/.BT THEM VINDICATE SIDNEY TUl.LOU ,
And now comes the report that Sidney
Dillon is to bo rcappolntcd president of
the Union Pacific road as a vindication
of his former management. That would
bo a vindication indeed.
It will take n great deal moro than his
ro-oloctlon to tiio presidency of the road
to vindicate the Dillon regime for
converting Nebraska and the states
through which the road runs Into moro
political provinces , degrading the em
ployes into moro political henchmen nnd
stripping the trans-Missouri region-
every dollar tlio traffic would bear.
Charles Francis Adams is not very
popular on the line of the Union Pacific ,
but Sidney Dillon is oxoerated by all
who have a spark of manhood and integ
rity about thorn.
If wo ait ? to return to the methods of
the political road agent nnd the reckless
buccaneering that exploited the road of
what wns left by the Credit Mobollcr for
which hn also played his part , just vin
dicate Sidney Dillon and make him pres

tion it may bo remarked that TilK BnE'8
figures on the general result have with

IT is an open secret that Councilman
Olson has never had much in common
with the combine and is not at the pres
ent time co-operating with the efforts of
Tnmmnnyitcs to keep themselves in con
trol of the council. While Mr. Olson
voted with the solid twelve in the organ
ization of the council Inst winter , ho
never was tied up beyond agreeing to
vote with thorn on the election of presi
dent and clerk.
TilK transfer of the Armour interest
in the Omnha packing industry to Mr.

another stride in the progressive march
of Omnhn.
FULSOME praise will not materially
alter Mr. Kern's regard for the jackass
battery. The somersault of the battery
to Thompson ton days before election
swelled Mr. Kom's vole by several
thousand and practically "fired" him
into congress , while the man at the
broach was fatally wounded.
WHIL ! : the council displays n spasm of
energy in the erection of now engine
houses , it is significantly bilent on the
vital matter of extending tlio lire limits.
Public interests are lost sight of when
the political welfare of the combine is at
stake.

There Is a proposition to tax titles of noblt-
ty In .Fran co. Under the provisions of the
Moreau bill the tariff of titles Is nicely grad
uated. If the rich tradosmau or stock
gambler who has Invested a part of his
profits In n country seat will cqnteat himself
with the simple territorial particle do , this ,
Indulgence of vanity will cost him only $100 n
year. So , too , the relatively modest tltlo of
chevalier , the lowest recognized under the
indent regime , will only Impose upon the
licensee an annual expenditure of $000. Tno
next steps nro more serious. Ho that calls
lihnsclf u baron must pay every twelvemonth
? IOOOi , n vieomto will bo mulcted in $ . " ,000 , a
comto In 81,000 , and a marquis in fO.OOO.
When wo recall how common the tltlo of
marquis is In France , and how narrow are
the lnL'omu3 of many of Its possessors , wo can
3CO that n yearly tax of 80,000 francs would
not only seem n grievous burden , but would
in many cases bo positively prohibitive. M.
Moreau proposes to levy on a duke $10,000
nnd on n prince S'M.OOO n year , but
hero ho reveals an ignorance of a
peculiarity of the old French poeraeo
which Is creditable to a radical. In
the Franco of the old monarchy the tltlo of
duke was ns a rule , moro highly esteemed
than that of prince , the latter being often
borne by the elder sons of dukes , mit dropped
on their accession ton dukedom. Thus the
eldest son of the Duke do la Hochofoucnnld
was called Prince do Mnwlllao ; the eldest
ion of the DulTo do Rohan-Chabot Is the
Prince do Loon , and the oldest son of the
Iuko ) do la Tromolllo is the Prince do Tar-
onto. Under the Moreau tariff either of the
two last mentioned dnkcs would have to pay
twlco as much for his eldest son as for him-
.elf. This was not intended by the author of
the measure , who has obligingly provided
tlintvhero the wives and children of a noWo
tleslro to bear titles , as they always do in
Franco , they need only pay fees ranging from
'J5 to 50 per cent of these exacted from tlio
head of the family. The money accruing
from the licenses to use inherited titles will ,
with what to radicals must seem delicious
Irony , go to the fund for the relief of aged
workmen.

The Greek church , In Its warfare with the
poito , has just borrowed from the west and
put into pernicious activity an ecclesiastical
weapon which has becii obsolete sine
mediaeval times. It has declared a general
Interdict upon the Ottoman empire. An in
terdict mny bo clcllncd as a general ecclesi
astical strike. Whllo It lasts the churches
are shut , the altars stripped , the bells silent ;
nooQlcos are said , no sacreincnts are cele
brated save baptism , the dead are not buried ,
and the whole country ( so far as It is sensi
tive to ecclesiastical censures ) Is inado to feel
that it lies under the wrath of God. It was
a terrible weapon In its day , as Robert found
it to bo In Franco and Stephen nud John in
England ; and if Henry VIII. and Elizabeth
found little terror in it , it was because Its day
was past oven in their time. But , besides
the grave fault of anarchronlsm , the Holy
Orthodox synod has , It would seem , fatally
miscalculated its chances in another way.
Turkey , from the religious point of view ,
resembles os llttlo as possible the uniformly
Catholic Franco of the mlddlo ago. The
Giaours of the Ottoman empire con
stitute , nil told , not moro than a third of
Its population ; und of this number only a
third that is , one-ninth of the whole popula
tion are faithful orthodox. Ono can Imagine
how the caliph , the vicar of Mohammed , the
commander of thetrue , boUqvors , looks upon
this iulhlel minority , and with what consider
ation ho Is likely to treat It. Another danger
to the Greeks lies In the existence besldo
thorn In Turkey of other Christian churches
not orthodox , to' bo sure , but almost Identi
cal with them in dogma and ritual and gen
eral appearance. Th'eso churches and their
clergy will keep on In full nctlvlty , nnd
doubtless will make many converts among
the orthodox whoso own ecclesiastics are on
strike. They furnish a curious parallel to
the class called "blacklegs" In England , to
whom our liberal walking delegates glvo a
grosser name. Nevertheless , absurd as the
whole business seems , there are aspects of It
which are serious. Not only the orthodox
subjects of the sultan will bo stirred up , but
nil the sympathies of Hellenism will bo
moved , mid perhaps also those of Kussiii.
The Interdict marks the end of the religious
peace which has so long existed between the
chiefs of orthodoxy and the dynasty of Otu-
111 au.

Whllo the Illustrious founder of the state
of Congo Is resting from his labors , the utato
itself is passing through n serious crisis.
This is the situation ; The 'work of founding
thu state cost the king of the Belgians SI- , !
000 ; and for nearly six years ho has person
ally homo the expense of maintaining It ,
minus about $100,000 a year from export duus.
The cost of maintaining the state has novar
been loss thnn 8100,000 in ono year , and the
building of now stations and new roads and
the extension of the police system have
swelled the sum now to $330,003. To meet
this the king of the Belgians can give only
$ -.200,000 and the Belgian government $100,000 ,
If wo add to thcso sums $125,000 export dues ,
there is still left a deflciUof ? 12:3,00 : ; ) . Noi
ls this all The recent null-slavery congress
at Brussels imposed upon the state thu duty
of making greatly extended efforts to sup
press the slave trade , to do which will , of
course , cost much money. Where is the
nonoy to oomo from 1 Thli question mmt

hey gained that thev dll not have boforot
SfTorU to subject Africa to trade nnd civili

> ruvalls among many Englishmen that they

lover been attempted. From the days of
Juccn Elizabeth down to the tlmo "within
ho memory of men still living" England naa
chartered company after company to pono-
.rato this realm of Jungle , slavery nnd deadly
fever. They have Issued prospectuses filled
with glowing ncommts of Its vast undevel
oped wealth , and of Its charms as the f uturo
iomo for emigrants from tbo overcrowded
cities of the motnor country. With
, heso appeals to the material Interests of the
Englishman have boon coupled appeals to his
; > loty aud philanthropy appeals to assist In"
: ho noble work of spreading Christianity and
of extirpating human slavery. But all thcso
companies hnvo been failures from first to
ast. No trade of coascquoiico has over boon
built up. Central Africa Is as pagan as over.
It ha yet to become the homo of European
colonist * . It was thcso stubborn and dis
couraging facts that Inspired the parliamen
tary report of ISM , which declared "that the
further extension of territory or assumption
of government or new treaties offering any
protection to natlvo tribes would bo Inex
pedient. " The experience of other powers
has In no wise boon dllTorcut. It Is a very
serious question whether Africa Is worth

Mr. James \V. Wells , who for many years
lias been prominent in the Brazilian railroad
surveys , has recently supplied some InterestIng -
Ing facts wltb regard to the Hues which Bra
zil Is now extending many hundreds ; of miles
into the hitherto almost Inaccessible Interior.
IIo says the Mogyana railroad Is to bo the
grout central line of the country. It has now
entered the state of Goyaz. has nearly reached
the capital of that state , and will bo rapidly
extended to distant Cuynba. kThls town , on
the Paraguay , Is n thousand miles from Hlo
do Janeiro , and the trading caravans between
the sen und Cuynba have often boon solera !
months on the way. Another great system
of lines , 1,000 miles In length , Is building from
Sao Paulo to Hlo Grande do Sul , along ; the
uplands back of the coast mountain ranges ,
an enterprise that will place Hio do Jaiieiro
within easy reach of the southern part of the
republic.
After their hard beginning in railroad
building the Brazilians think they are having
a very easy tlmo of it today , for the tableland
railroads do not cost over $ 'Jj,000 Jn mlle , as
against the coast Hues' cost of from S12o,000
to $100,000 per mllo. At the rate thcso nnd
other enterprise * are now being carried for
ward the railway map of Brazil will soon
show a very different appearance.

Now York Mercury : Nebraska voted last
Monday upon the question of constitutional
prohibition and the teetotalers mustered all
their forces and boat their drums wildly from
ono cud of the state to the other. On Wed
nesday they woke to llnd themselves buried
under 40,000 adverse majority. The example
of the evil effects of prohibition on the indus
tries of a state , shown In Iowa and Kansas ,
warned Nebraska away from such a suicidal
courso.
Topckn Republican : For six months past
many enterprises in Oinahn , Lincoln and
other Nebraska cities wcro at a standstill be
cause of a feeling of uncertainty In regard to
the outcome of the vote on the prohibitory
amendment. But now , ns THK Bcu says ,
"general activity pervades all departments
of business. " O , Unit the people of Kansas
had the business tact , the broad-mindedness
of the Nebrasknns. If they bud and would
manifest It by the overthrow of prohibition.
Kansas would at once bound ahcau and lead
her sister state on the north.
