PAXTON' & GALLAGIIKH'S shipments of tea are astonishing. Think of shippinc 150,000 pounds in one day to the retail trade , the Inrgost shipment ever made in America , This shows what ouorgy and advertising will do. Ui' to the last moment wo have heard of only ten republican cfxndidatos for the oflleo of county attorney. We are sur prised at the small list , but there are plenty of men who are ready to shy their castors into the ring , and the moro the merrier. SOUTH CAROLINA'S preliminary gu bernatorial prize fight , alias joint dis cussion , is at an end and noono has boon killed , although fights have boon fro- quont. The row is between two demo crats and both of thorn have proved themselves unworthy of "a job higher than that of garbage boaror. TJIK Hutchinson 2 mca , the loading democratic paper of southern Kansas , ha ? bolted the fusion ticket , both state and congressional , and is especially severe - voro in its denunciations of Terry Simp son , in whose district ITutchiiirfon is lo cated. The bonsiblo democrats of Kansas are awakening to the fact that such misroprosontativos are bringing disrepute - puto upon their state. W. M. Si'KlNGKU has opened the cam paign at Detroit with one of his usual harangues. lie proceeds to curse Pinkerton - korton while sparring for wind , al though Pinkerton is a good democrat and his crowd is as much censured by republicans as by democrats. Lie tolls us all about the glorias of that free trade period botweotf 1840 and 1800. There are plenty of people in Nebraska who remember all about the "glories" of that period and those who cannot remember - member it can read the testimony of democratic presidents during thattime , upon its hardships. If Springer wishes to make republican votes lot him do'voto all his time to praising that glorious period. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE storage battery street , ears which have recently been successfully tried in the east would bo well suited to Omaha in one particular. They are so arranged that in running down grades the action of the wheels is used to roohargo the batteries , so that they do not have to bo recharged so often at the terminal sta tions. In this city the cars go up and down hill most of the llmo and the bat- torlosjcould bo recharged with grout fre quency. The chief advantages of the Blorugo battery , however , consist in doing away with trolley poles and wires , which are both unsightly and danger ous , and in preventing the stoppage of a whole street cur system by an accident at- the power huuso. The abolishing of the polo and wlro nuisance is greatly to bo desired , and the public will wai-mly welcome the storage battery oar when it comes. THE packing interests of Sioux City , in conjunction with the jobbing associ ation , are moving in the matter of bringing to the consideration of the interstate commerce commission the discrimination In transportation rates against Missouri river points In favor of Chicago. They will nak till Missouri rlvor paokord to join thorn , and there ought to bo no doubt of a p.-oiupr. and general response. In referring to this matter a few days ago TUB BKK pointed out the ohm-actor of the discrimination complained of , and it suems to us that the Injustice to Missouri river points in BO plain and indufenslblu that the Inter state commerce commlsslenord cannot refuse to remedy it. At any rate tbo vommlsjioii should bo given an oppor tunity to pasa judgment on the existing rates. The paokoru of South Omaha are quite as much Interested as those of .Sioux City , and it is to bo expected that they will show themselves ready to unlto with the latter In laying the nub. jeot before the commission with the least possible delay. Conaurted action on the pun of the packers will huvo the olToct to liiuuro prompt couaidomtlou by the coiutqUalou. 's Posmos juxTtMRn , 'Tho correspondence between the foreign ofllcoof the Dominion of Canaan and the Department of S tit to of the United States fully 'juatlllos the oourso of this government * The Dominion government does not pre sent a case which any self-respecting nation , reasonably solicitous of the rights and Interests of Its cttl/.ons , could accept ns satisfactory , lu olloct , the Btatoinontot the position of Canada Is an acknowledgment that that country is at fault , and the plea that its policy VIM intended to bo only temporary , and that by reason of contracts made under It , it ought to bo allowed to continue until such con tracts ju-o carried out , re gardless of the damage that may bo done to American Interests , IB clonriy not such a plea as the government o ( the United States could seriously consider. This country has nothing to tto with any arrangements that may have been made between the government of Canada and the vessel owners who receive its favor. That Is u matter which concerns the parties to itsololv , and If the Canadian government has entered into eontVacts which cannot bo fullllled without violating lating treaty engagements , the sooner it renounces them the bettor will bo its claim to the respect of other nations. It , is siilcl ilmt to do this would Involve a cost to the government of several hun dred thousand dollars , but if so , this is it trilling matter to weigh against the question of keeping good faith with a neighbor nation in the vital matter of observing treaty obligations. The reply of the secr'otary of stnto to the representations of the Dominion foreign olllue is soconclusivothat it can not , fail to receive the approbation of of every American citi/en , whatever impression - prossion it may make upon the people of Canadu : Ho states that the delay In issuing the proclamation was duo to a hope on the part of the president that the disappearance of the adverse con ditions which brought about the legis lation of congress might inctotlnitoly postpone such action on his part. There was in this an evidence of friendly fool ing , or nt any rate of a desire not to in cite unfriendly relations between the two countries. The act of congress was approved Duly 20 and the proclamation which it authorized was issued August 20. The Canadian government was thus given twonty-llvo days in which to de cide upon its course , and after nearly three weeks of deliberation it concluded that it would not make any change in its policy this season , thouirh it might Do disposed to do so next season. This attempt to shulllo with n , matter of serious importance and to put off the performance of a plain duty could not bo countenanced , but still the president was lenient , for with the authority to impose tolls on Canadian vessels im mediately ho postponed doing so until September 1 , so that the Canadian government still has an opportunity to remove the adverse conditions and relieve - liovo Canadian vessels from the pro posed tolls.Secretary Foster has In formed the Canadian authbrittes that the president's proclamation will remain in force no longer than' the discrimin ations complained of are maintained by the Canadian government lie also convoys the assurance that there is every disposition on the part of the government of the United States to maintain and extend the most intimate and friendly commercial relations with our northern neighbors. The whole tone and spirit of the cor respondence of Secretary FostO'1 ' is friendly , but it also discloses a purpose to ( irmly carry out the requirements of the act of congress if the Canadian government persists in the course it has pursued for several years in discriminat ing against , American vessels. The president his the support of the whole country in the position ho has taken , the people of the northwest , from whom the Canadians expected a protest , being quite as heartily in favor of the action taken as those of any other section , and the Canadian authorities are making a grave mistake it they imagine it will not bo adhered to and the conditions prescribed strictly enforced. THK MAYOll'S VK'WKS. The texpayors will stand by Mayor Bemis in his effort to protect them against jobbery , extravagance and ille gal or bogus claims. The veto power was vested in the mayor for the purpose of interposing a barrier against hasty , ill-considered , illegal or corrupt legisla tion. The abuse of this power is much loss dangerous to the community than the indiscriminate voting of appropria tions. The mayor may occasionally veto some claim or ordinance under misapprehension. In that ease the council will bo justliled in .overriding his objection. On the other hand , it is decidedly rctprohonalblo for councilman to override the mayor's veto in disre gard of law and to the detriment of tax payers , jiialbocauso they want to snub the mayor or impress the fact upon him that no is a lly on the wheoi and that they are the whool. Tnlco for instance two of the items in the appropriation ordinance ) , which wore vetoed by the mayor and passed ever his head by almost u unanimous vote. One of these vetoed items was a claim of Slo.OOO allowed by the council to a pri vate corporation as an outright do nation. Tljia claim had been declared illegal and unauthorized by the city attorney. The conditions under which it had boon originally voted had not been complied \vith. and oven if the bonus voted by the 'council had been valla under the charter , the parties to whom tlm.boniiB hud been voted wore not entitled to it until after they hud ojtnpletcd the Improvements for which the bonus hud been asked and given. Another ltem vetoed by the mayor and allowed by the council in spite of the veto was a claim of $ oOforun alleged injury to'u liorno. This claim had never been submitted to the legal department of the ulty and was allowed in violation of the ohui'tor. It was mmlfostly the sworn duty of the mayor to doollno to give hlbsanction to these ulalmu und it U to the dUorodit of the council that It voted ilium in de fiance of the law und reckless disregard of the intorosU of the taxpayers Thin only recalls the noco.wlty for re form in the matter of appropriations. At the prodont tlmo thousands und thmmnds of dollars nro voted itwuy in- appropriation ordinances which are purporoly knpt fiom- the publio under' ' pretext that- publication would Involve needless expense. It Is manifest , however - ever , that publicity is an ossodtlal safe guard , Kvory appropriation ordinance and every item allowed to claimants against the city , excepting alone the regular salary list , should bo published nt least once before it Is plucud on final passage. Tlioso claims mid appropria tion Horns should also bo posted in the city cleric's and comptroller's olllcos at lonat one week before they are passed. Such a policy would 'work no hardship or Inju'tlco. No honest claimant can object to publicity and roaaonablo delay. LHT nitr.iff AffSWKtt. The recent congressional roapportlon- mont of Nebraska has made it impossi ble for Mr. Uryun to bo elected in the First congressional district unless several - oral thousand members of the peoplo'aj Independent party dusort their own' candidate and cast their votej- for him. Mr. Bryan is bonding all his energies to secure these several thousand votes from tho. independent ranks. Ua bases- his claims to this support principally upon his position with reference to the. stiver question. Ho points to his vote1 on the Bland bill and to the tight ho made for a free , sliver plank at Iho demo cratic state convention at Omaha last spring as an evidence of his friendship for the extreme free silver views ex pressed in the independent national platform. The ihdnpondents who are being urged to cast their votes for Mr. Bryan this fall may with porfoot p'roprioty address to him the following portlncnt queries : "Aro you a free silver man in the in-i torests of the ycoplo , or in the interests of yourself ? "If you are , as you say , oarhostly and sincerely in favor of the free coinage of silver , for whom will you vote in the event of the presidential oldction being thrown Into the national house of repre sentatives ? "Will you vote for Grov.or Cleveland , the pronounced anti-free silver candi date , whom you know would veto a free coinage bill , or for James B. Weaver , the radical nilvorlte , whom you know would sign such a bill ? " Every voter of the independent party who is asked to east his ballot for Mr. Bryan this fall has a right to address the above questions to him and bus the right to insist upon a frank , unequivocal answer. Mr. Bryan cannot hope to evade th o directness of the queries by making the general statement that ho believes Grover Cleveland would sign a "reason able" free sliver bill. The sentiments of the ox-prosidont are too well known to permit the belief that ho will ever tiflix his signature to , a free coinage measureof any kind.16 represents the wing of the democratic jiarty.which is unalterably opposed to a silver dollar and his Tirm iillogiunco to thiit branch of the party is attested by h'is ollloial acts and private correspondence. ii or n Reports from the oust show a rapid growth of republican clubs. This * is especially the cage in Now York , sovonty-fivo clubs huvinir boon organ ized in that state within a week. An interesting fact in connection with the growth of these clubs is the interest and enthusiasm which the young men of the smaller towns manifest in them. By fur the greater number of the clubs recently organized are in what may properly bo classed as rural communities. The reason for this is obvious. The political club olTors peculiar and strong uttrac- tions'for intelligent young men who do- biro to learn regarding politics from the best sources of information. The well- appointed club is a storehouse of po litical Instruction that is always being added to , while it also affords an excel lent opportunity for sociul enjoyment of a kind that is wholesome and improving. As has been well said , the club method appeals to the social and refining In stincts. It utilizes the literary and edu cational aspiratlonsof every co'mmunity. It avoids the spasmodic fever and waste of the old political Campaigns by keep ing up the work of education and re cruiting throughout the yonr. It wel comes and encourages discussion , the otToct of which is to elevate and nroudon the mind. These are the conditions which render the political club pe culiarly Inviting to the young men , and especially to these in communities where the opportunities for intellectual und social enjoyment are restricted. There are now orgauizod throughout the country not far from 20,000 republican - lican clubs , with an aggregate member ship exceeding 2,000,000 , a splendid army , certainly , of earnest , zealous workers in the republican cause. Of this force Nebraska has ever 250 clubs , with a membership exceeding 2-5,000 , an excellent allowing for this stuto in com parison with some whoso republican vote is larger , but which ought to bo inorcuBod as the campaign advances. The annual meeting of the State Laagua of Republican Clubs at Grand Island on August : U should show u consider able enlargement of the membership of those organizations , and It Is not too much to say that betaro the campaign ends at lo tst 50,000 republicans ought to be enrolled in tlio league. The repub licans of the east are doing an excellent work in this direction and western re publicans should emulate their ex ample. The National league convention at Buffalo next month promises to bo by far the largest yet hold. TIIK Sl'llit.lD UF THK HCOUttUE.

Victoria has tntorpostd an objoctlon.to an. appointment by her prime minister , tbo ob ject of bar displeasure in the present case being Air. ilonry Labouchoro. If It bo true that the queen's personal dislike can shut out a representative of the people from oxou-- utivo ortlco , the theory that lu England tbo sovereign reigns bilt docs not govern is based upsn n tendency rather than a completely ac complished fact. The fundamental principle laid down by all Iho writers ou the constitu tional history of Great. Britain In this cen tury Is tbat the quuou must accept for her lirit minister the man who commands the conlldonco of the House of Commons ; mid inasmuch ns ho becomes responsible for the government , sbo must also accept for bis colleagues tlioso whom ho sees Jit to desig nate.

At tbo tlmo ot the accession of Queen Victoria the question of personal government was supposed to bo definitely settled. Thn attempt uf Gcorso III. to organize In iho House of Commons a party of the king's friends , aim to appoint or suloot ministers ac cording to their porsonul acceptability to him , had ended in the dlscomllturo und hu miliation ot tlio sovereign.

His sons onu successors , George IV. and William IV. , made no effort to continue the struggle for self-assertion , which tboy recognized as hopeless. Each of thorn bad 10 submit to government by ministers whom they had good reason to bate the sight of. * * The recent disaster to the Gorman troops in Killma-Njaro , East Africa , socms to have boon the direct result of a curious oversight of Dr. Carl i'atars , who , when bo built a now station at Mnrinau , deserted but did not de stroy the fort at Moshl , which had beou con structed ut an earlier data by thu unlucky Zaiowsky.

Von Bulnw thought be had mon enough to repel htm without much difficulty. His force con sisted of two olllcers , two noncommissioned olllcers aud ISO native soldiers. Everything went well until within a short distance of the station , when Ltoutonunt Wolfram was killed. The party was then attacked by 3,000 Wud- shagaas.of whom 1OJO , possessed broech-load- ors. On their attempting to surround the Germans a squuro was formed , and it was at this juncture that Bulow was twice wounded. Notwithstanding the rapid firing of the Ger man troops tbo Wadsbuggas kept advancing with tbo greatest courage , aud on tbo discov ery that the ammunition would not hold out much longer Bulow cave orders to retire , bo himself being so weak from Joss of blood that ho had to bo carried in a hammock , In whloh bo received the wound which after wards proved fatal.
