SKNATOU STKWAKT of Nevada has hired inafrnilii'cnt apartments at Min neapolis as headquarters for the free silver ropubHca.ua. From present ap pearances tlioro is no danger of n crush ut these silver headquarters. CAIITKK UAKUISOX is a rantankorous free silver democrat , and his llat-footod ondordoiuont of Horace Boies for the presidency loaves no room for doubt as to the real intent of the Iowa platform on the question of free coinage.

Cuirrr.iNO the postal so.-vico is ono of the methods ol economy out of which the house democrats expect to make cam paign political capital. Postmaster General Wiinamakor , in a letter to Speaker Crisp , warns the democrats of the effects of withholding necessary ap propriations from this branch of thosar- vico. COI.ON'HI < JUNKS of til" St. Louis Jtc- public heads the delegation from Mis souri to the democratic national conven tion. This fact is not calculated to fill David nonnott Hill with joy. llowovor , that is of no consequence , for David has practically dropped out of the possibility class into the trylng-to-got-ovon consolation lation purso. PROPOSALS have boon invited by the Board of Public Works for raoro wooden sidewalks. Wooden sidewalks are n nuisance us wall as a monaco to the safety of pedestrians.

Tin- : Douglas count/ hospital east money enough to hnvo bean a tlrst class structure. Tlio plans were all right and the contract prlco was high enough to have made money for the contractors without fraud. Now that the north wing has boon almost ruined by the sinking of the foundation It would bo well to inako seine investigations as to the oharnotor of the work performed , with a view to proceeding against the bonds- mun of the contractor * if they arc not already released by the accnptance of the monumental wreck. AX turn \iTii.iiint \ Mi' . D. ( ' .

Mr. Doavor's otlmatc3 and I1gure.s are Incorrect and too mis- lending , and his mitrm-ation of a free railroad bridge is utterly impractical. It is not tr.io that the proposed bonds boar < > par cent interest , a * ho computes , j and the amount donated Is not. payable for twenty years. The county bond * are to boar U per cent interest , and the city bonds only i per cout. In hia calcula tion the city and county are out of pocket 31)00,0i)0 ) from the vo-y : day when the bonds are voted. In fact only one-half of that sum Is aoUnlly lo bo paid , mid Interest does not bogln until ono year after Iho delivery of the botul-i , anil the total p.Ud thereafter will only bn 32,5U : { ( ) annually. Mr. Doavor treats Iho subsidy as though it repre sented cush instead of credit. Pottawattamlo county would not vole $ ioO.OOO ! for a bridge across the river because - cause the free railroad bridge would not bonollt Council HlttlTd or I'ottawattamio county. Hut suppose the subsidy of $1,01)11,000 ) were raised and the bridge constructed. It would load from no- .vhoro . to nowhere. It would bo In the ilouds , as it woro.

For Iho sake of argument , however , ot us assume that Iho S-HO.OOO Hiibiidy ivould ho voted by Pottawatlamio lounty citix.ons , anil that the S7oOd)0 ! ) from Douglas county added to that ) onu3 would secure all these important bonoliti ) , there is still an insuperable dillloulty in the way.

There is a further misapprehension us cgards the proposed bridge. Under the charter granted by congress to the J Nebraska Central company , the bridge which they tire to erect is expressly made available for any and all lines of railroad upon payment of rcasomule compensation. The secretary of war is miido the arbitrator who .shall deter mine what is reasonable compensation , ind while local controversies are not to bo rnforrod to arbitration for live years , the right of any company lo use the double-track , bridge anil approaches and the compensation to bo paid fo > ' the privilege may bo arbitrated or deter mined by the secretary of war or the local arbitrators immediately after its completion. In this par ticular the Nebraska bridge ch'trtor difl'ors from Unit of the Union Pacific and other Missouri river bridges. There can bo no question upon this point , be cause the terms of the charter are per fectly plain und the intention of con gress was plainly understood when the act granting it was passed. There is , therefore , no danger of the Union Pacific absorbing the now bridge and shutting out other railway companies. The fact is that the moro carefully the Nebraska Central proposition ia con sidered the moro satisfactory do its terms appear. TJIK .S/M'KK t'UXFKHNKCR. The attitude of the Knghsh press re garding the proposed international sil ver conference is decidedly unfriendly. Their view is that the Hritish chancel lor of the exchequer has boon entrapped - trapped and made to sors'o a political purpose , while as to the outcome of a conference they profess to think that no good could come of it. The London Time * expresses the opinion that Iho olToct of the conference will only bo to keep the silver nuirkut and the wliolo question of the currency in an unsettled state for a long time to come. This opposition of the English press to any olTort to establish an International ratio for silver undoubtedly rollects the general - oral sentiment of British linanciors , but tlioro is a largo element of the people of Great Britain who are friendly to a larger use of silver in the currency , though they probal'ly do not exert a very grout inlluunce. As to Mr. Go- Huhen , the chancellor of the exchequer , bulng entrapped , the invitation to a con ference , it is understood on this side of the ocean , was largely duo to his ox- presslons favorable to a larger use of silvor. Tie has been moro than once re ported during the last year or two as holding the opinion that a moro oxton- slvo use of silver Is practicable , and the tendency of this has Irjon to encourage the baliof that the British government would join in a conference designed to give silver a bettor standing among Ku- ropoan nations. It v.is on the strength of thio that the invitation wati extended , and it had nothing whatever to do with politics. The acceptance of the invita tion by the British government will in duce other F.uropoan governments to accept , and in this way the pllvor ques tion will again receive International consideration , with a possibility of at loai improving thu situation , though it must bu confessed that Die signs that line may bo done aru not ontiruly reas suring. However , the assurances are that besides i rout Britain , Fn.nco , Ger many , Italy and Austro-Hungary will bu represented in thu conference , and doubtlujs other countiius will uond dole- Certainly thu present is u most auspicious tlmo 'or ' such a conference , and it Is manifestly nlwurd to iissumo , us Homo of the Kngllsh papers do. that any harm can come from It , ovoti though 11 should entirely fail of its purpose. / ) , ! AMH/.vr ; iroxn.M ; V. Po-Umrtstor ( ionoral Wnmunnker hns soul a letter to Speaker Crisp in reference - once to Hie propood largo reduction in the appropriation ! * for tlio postal sorv- ii'ij. The poslinuslor general paya that thu olTuot of doing this will bo to Impair the olllcloncy of the service and proven * , the earnings foreshadowed in the last report of Iho department. IIo also sug gests that If neon-Mary appropriations are withhold the department may not bo able to meet the oxigenclw which it Is reasonably to bo expected the postal service will bo under next year. The postmaster general remarks llial the service will bo subjected to comparison wHh that of other countries by exhibitors - ors and visitors during the World's ) fair , nnd manifestly it should not bo placed at a disadvantage by refusing to provide the moans necessary lo meol very probable ilomand. U is to be hoped Unit Ibis appeal of ho postmaster general will have Iho eslred olTcel upon Iho house , but it islet lot probable that much attention will 10 piidto ; it. Having passed tho- most xtravagent river and harbor bill in Iho ilstory of this legislation , and thereby demonstrated what u co'.ost-al ' humbug ho democratic pretense of economy bo- omos when there is opportunity for a generous distribution of the public noiioy among domoaratic conslltuonclon , t will bo doomed necessary to olTsot Ibis notion by culling down appropriations n all other directions , so that , the parly may IIIUKO some claim to economy when t goes before the people in the coming campaign. Tlioro is lilllo reason to ox- ) oct , therefore , thai Iho postal service ivill escape , although the whole people : ire moro directly concerned in the ellieioncy and thoroughness of that serv- cu Uinti they are in that of any other , ivory i nimbi Unit of the country is per sonally interested in having the mail service as nearly perfect as possible , and it would bo a wrong to every one , ivhethor using the mails much or lilllo , o impair the high standard of ollicicncy that has been attained. The postmaster general is undoubt edly correct in assuming that Iho poslal icrvico will be subjected lo severer tests luxt year than ever before , and doubt- ess ho is also right in believing that 'oreigu visitors will institute compan ions between Iho service in Ibis and .ilher countries. There are , therefore , both prudential and patriotic ro.xsons ivhy appropriations for this service should not bo regulated by a narrow and lig-gardly policy of retrenchment , but t is to bo apprchundoJ that neither of Ihosu will bo sulliciently strong with the najority of the house of representatives to overcome the political reason for cur- ailing the appropriations. Besides , there is no "pork" lor democratic con stituencies in the expenditures for the postal service. I'ho security against damaging econ omy in this direction as in some ethers s in Iho republican senate , and it should lot hcsitalu , as probably it will not , to take the responsibility of refining to concur in the parsimony of the house in every case where it threatens to impair Ihc ctUcicnuy of the public service. TUB nearly universal approval of Ihe ict passed by congress and promptly fcignod by the president to onoauraj o American shipbuilding , show * the extent - tent to which the public sentiment of the country favors the restoration of Iho norehanl maiino. Although .his incas- ire adds but two ocean steamers to ttie American registry and provides for the construction in American shipyards of two others which it is promised will beef of greater excellence , it is received by the country as a stop in the right direc tion from which important results are reasonably to bo oxpectod. While con fessedly' tentative , it nevertheless marks : i distinct advance toward the restora tion of the mo chant marino and ought to prove , as it is expected to do , a strong incentive lo shipbuilding in Hie United States on a sc.ilo rivalling the highest development of this industry in Kjrope. Our shipbuilders claim that they can build ocean steamers equal lo any of Kuropoun construction at a cost which will enable American sto m-mtp com panies to successfully compote with these of Kuropn , and the opportunity will now bo nITordod them to test their ability and skill against Kuropoan build- ors. The policy of restoring the mer chant marino of the country will involve an .enormous investment of capital , but it iii justilicd on both economic and patriotic grounds. Tlio annual payment to foreign ship owners of bclwoen 8150,000,000 and $200,000,000 is un im- inonso drain upon Iho country , while an American merchant marino composed of such stoainnrs as will bo admitted to registry under the nel jusl passed by congress would constitute a most valua ble auxiliary to the navy in un omor- Till' house of representatives has done well in oidering an investigation of Iho Pinkerton detective system , and it is somewhat rumai-kablo Unit the resolu tion for Ibis purpose should have on- counlored MO much opposition , It is to bu observed , however , that this was not from any doubl as lo Iho questionable character of this organization , but was duo to the opinion that the matter was ono to bo dealt with by the states and did not comu within the jurisdiction of congress. 'I'ho bettor opinion , which prevailed , that congress has the right lo enquire whether the Pinuorton do- tecllvo system has boon employed in ways hoslilu to the peace and rights of the people , and the consequence * of such employment , will bo approved by Intel ligent public judgment. The record of thu operations of Ihe Pinkerton dotoc- tlves in of a character lo juslify all that has been said In condoinnation of the system , and it is the duty of the repre sentatives of the people In congress to consider what may bu done to chock the growth In this country of such a body of irresponsible urmod mercenaries , ro- crultud largulv from the slums of the city and obeying the authority of a pri vate citiv.oii. now pavouiont laid in Omaha from now on should be of tlurnble mater ial.

It was tlio most revo lutionary utterance made by an Kngllah statesman in this generation. It seems al most incredible Uiat such a lawless exhorta tion should Have Issued from the lln-t of the official upholder bf the will of Parliament unit of the laws of England. Tlio words cabled , however , cannot boar any other con struction. "I do not believe , " Lord Suits- bury says , "In ttio uiiqunlilled doctrine of passive endurance. I believe that the title of both kings aijd parliaments to obedience from their subjects depends upon those kings nnd parliaments observing tbo fundamental laws * and understandings whereby they11 rulo.

They nro to bo the solu Juagos in Iho promises , and from their decision there is to ho no appeal except to the arbitrament of war. The opinions of tbo great majority of their Irish follow counUyinon and the opin ions of the great majority of Englishmen who have passed the home rule uill are to count for nothing in tbo matter. lint is not the privilege thus conceded to the Protestants of Ulster to be shared also by the Catholics of Ireland , who form three-fourths of the popu lation of the island ! And , if so. would not the latter bo Justified in rebelling agaiust the state of things which has existed since 1SSO a state of things under which Irish Catholics have been practically subjected to the Protestnats of Ulster , backed us thuso hnvo boon by the wliolo power of the tory government at Dublin and Westminster ! - * * Italy IE financially ono of tbo weakest countries of the continent.

Yet she has the ambition to appear as a party to the triple alliance , as ono of thu llrst powers of Europe. Her ambition Is an embarrassing ono , for the reason that it Is BO costly. It requires her Jo maintain a vast military and naval armament , the expenses of which nro a heavier burden than she can successfully carry.
