Derew hit the nail DEATHOF E SENATOR HITH* COCK. The death of ex-Senator Hircm- cock has producsd a profound shock in Omaha, which will be shared by the entire state. Up to the very hour of his death this community was ignorant of the ex-senator’s illness, and none but his most intimate faiends were aware of his dangerous condition. The announcement of his sudden decease comes, on this ac- count, with double foree, and adds to' the general sorrow which is every- where felt and everywhere expressed. Senator Hitchcock's services to Ne- braska as a territory and state ex- tended over a long period of yoars Landing in this city in 1857 fresh from his eastern home he quickly be- came identified with the interests of Omaha and entered with all that untiring energy, which was 8o characteristic of the man, into every scheme for mak- ing her the metropolis of the Missouri valley. As a representative in both houses of congress, he gaye vital- ity to many measures that contribut- ed largely to the rapid development of our state. Among the measures that survive him and for which the people of the entire west owe him a debt of grati- tude is the timber culture act, which has given such an impetus to the planting of millions of trees upon our plains and will in due time not only provide our farmers with cheap fuel but cannot fail to favorably modify our climate. While frequently difforing with ex- Senator Hitchcock in his political methods and often disapproving his recommendation to office, THe Bre bears willing testimony to an energy that never flagged and ‘a brain that wos always active when questions affecting Omaha and Nebraska were pending. Above all things we can commend a8 a leading trait his unswerving fidel- ity to friends whom he supported and defended through good and evil report, in adversity as well as in prosperity. It was largely this devotion to per- sonal and political friends which gave ex-Senator Hitchcock such a strong and devoted following. 1In this he set an example that other politiodl leaders might emulate with profit. Like all positive men who attach to themselves many wwrm friends Mr. || Hitcheock in his political career en- countered a host of enemies bu# never hauled down hib colors even when the AYork Leg- islature who have al\hsm 1 have | TuE telggrams from abroad and the comments of the foreign press on the attempt upon the president's life show a very gratifying progress in the en- lightenment of Europe with regard to American affairs. A generation ago the crime would have produced the impression, particularly in England, that everything was going to pieces in the United States—that the ‘‘institu- tions” of the country had at last re- vealed their inherent weakness, and that chaos and anarchy might shortly be expected. American stocks would have fallen heavily on the London market, and this of itself would have had a strong tendency to produce the state of affairs of which it was expected to be the consequence, 8o great an advance has, however, ‘been made since the war in an intelli- gent comprehension of the condition of things here that the news excited no vanic, and, curiously enough, brought buyers instead of sellers to the London Stock Exchange —specu- lators who, while all knowing that there wus no reason for a serious fall in stocks, hoped that other specula- tors might know less about the real state of affairs on this side of the water than they did themselves. inent Irish Americans,not- ably Johu Rush, have taken exception to an article that appeared in the Bee a few days ago under the heading of ““Work for idle hands,” This article they interpret as a slur upon Irishmen generally and Irish Catholics in par- ticular. The joke of the whole matter ia that the offensive article was writ- ten by Mr 8. J Ahem, an Irishman and Catholie of prominence in the east, who years ago coutributed largely toward Seton college, a Catholic semi- nary in New Jersey, and other insti- tutions of that denomination. Mr. Ahern is now engaged in a scheme of Irish Catholic colonization to the 8 Yol fave n'“_ Mfi' ‘&6 Weslts, audYor fortunes of political war had turned gainst ‘him.

Tak of life ™ and expetience conld: have been made invaluable to his family and the city and state, Senator Hitchcock's death creates a void not easily filled. THE ALBANY STRUGGLE. The weary routine of a daily ballot, followed by adjournment, which for nearly six weeks has taken place at Albany, was varied on Friday by a caucus of the republicans, attended by sixty-seven members of the legisla- ture. The stalwarts, asa body, refused to attend, but enough republicans were present, according to common usage, to bind the party by the result of the caucus deliberations. In the con- ference which took place, Mr. Depew's withdrawal as a candidate for the senatorship was an- nounced and the caucus finally settled upon Warren Miller and E. G. Lap- ham as the nominees to be presented to the conyention as the choice of the republicans, It was hoped that the action of the caucus would solve the problem and that with Depew nolong- er o candidate the ' stalwarts would combine with the ad- ministration republicans in secur- ing the election of the caucus nominees. The hope seems, however, to have been ill founded. Saturday's balloting failed to concentrate the republican strength, although several of Mr, Conkling's supporters changed their votes to Miller and Lapham, It is claimed, however, that to-day's bal- lotting will result in a choice and that both Miller and Lapham will re- ceive a clear majority of votes cast, Neither of the candidates are men of national reputation as statesmen, although both have had a large legis- lative experience. Warner Miller represents the Twenty-second distriot of New York in Congress and was re- elected'last fall by a majority of 3,886 in a total vote of 35,608, He is 48 years of age, graduated at Union col- lege and fought through the rebellion West, and the offensive article written by him in furtherance of that object was by mistake inserted as an edi- torial instead of appearing as a com- munication, as originally intended. However, it was good enough for an editorial in any paper. Mr. Ahern has nothing to by ashamed of and Tue Bee has nothing to retract. Those tender skinned Irishmen who ‘want to makea mountain out of a molebill had better address their abuse to Mr. Ahern who is an old enough journalist, a “goéd enough Catholic and enough of an Irishman to make a very lively defonse. as colonel of a New York regiment, In 1874 he was elected to the New York assembly and served two terms, acquiringacommandinginfluencein the House. Millerhas been from the out- set of his legislative career a strong opponent of Senator Conkling, and was one of the original movers in the anti-Conkling fight which began soveral years ago. He was also active against Cornell's nomination in 1879 and against Grant and the unit rule at Utica in 1880. During his congres- stonal careor he was a warm friend of General Garfield, and has heartily supported his administration. Perso- nally Mr, Miller is said to be quiet and turer and runs a mill in Herkimer. Elbridge Gerry Lapham is a stal- wart and a great admirer of Mr. Conkling, with whose cause he has al. ways been identified. He has served three terms in congress from the Twenty-seventh district, acquitting himself with credit to his constitu- ents. Mr. Lapham is 67 years of age. He was born in Canandaigua, New York, and received a common school education, served as a civil engineer on the Michigan Southern rallway, was admitted to the bar in 1844, and gained n successful practice. He was specially effective as a jury lawyer. In 1867 he was a member of the consti- He was elected to the forty-fourth congress, serving as & representative ever since. He was a candidate in January against Platt, receiving four votes. In the present contost he has been supported on every ballot. At the outset he was a candidate for the long term, re- ceiving nine votes on the fourth bal- lot. On the next his strength was transferred to the short term. On the twenty-second ballot he reached his highest point, with twenty-six votes. tutional convention, NEBRASKA'S METROPOLIS, The growing importance of Omaha as the metropolis of Nebraska and the entrepot for the trans-Missouri coun- try is forcing itself upon the attention of the leading journals of the cast as it has long ago attracted the attention of the great world of trade and com- merce. Saturday’s Chicago Trilfune has the following to say of Omahaasa commercial centre: ‘‘No city west of Tllinois is growing faster or prospering more finely than Omaha, Neb. Signs of growth are evident on every side. Building is going forward so rapidly that brick is in scant supply. Many fine new business blocks are building on the main streets, and an opera house and a large hotel are in process reserved. He is a paper manu'nc-1News writing from of construction, Hundreds of private residences are being built, The city has lately extended a mile southwest towards Hanscom Park, and in the last four years it is said fully 500 dwellings have been put up on Capitol hill. Besides the large ho- tel already under way, a second new ane to;be called the Grand Central, has heen contracted for, and will be completed by this time next ydar. Tvd add to the other good fortune of Omaha, Nebraska is promised this year the most abundant harvest per acre of any state in the Union. Ins deed, it is the only state from which the feeports indicate much more than an average crop. The increase of whieat, corn and oats over last year is estimated from wapr 40 million bushels. Nebraska is one of the few states whose wheat crop this season will materially exceed that of last. A heavy bmi gration has poured into the state dur- ing the past year, and thousands of ngw farms have been opencd. Too little attention has been paid to Om- aha and Nebraska by the merchants of Chicago. All that country is nat- urally tributary to this city. It is stated that a few wholesale establish- ments here have already opened branches in Omaha, but more remains to be done in that direction, and the people of the whole state should be afforded the best and cheapest facili- ties for getting at this, -their natural market. No point on the Missouri river is more important, and none will better reward a careful cultiva- tion.” A preacher turned politician is usually a failure, This is clearly shown by the contrast at present ex- Tibited between the adjoining repub- ics of Haytijand St. Domingo. In Hayti everything is proceeding quiet- ly and constitutionally under the ad- ministration of the president, Gen, Saloman, The government has estab- lished a new line of coasting steamers, under a concession to Mr. Reviere. It has also signed a decree approving of the establishment, at Port-au-Prince, of the Haytian National bank, charter- ed by a French company, with a capi- tal of 10,000,000 of francs for fifty years, Its functions will be identical with those of the bank of France, and it will administer to the Haytian treasury. In the Dominican republic, on the contrary, the executive is Father Merino, areg- ularly-ordained priest. Though such he has taken wpon himself to exercise the most formidable and terrible func- tious which has ever been assumed by a dictator in the worst periods of history. Lately he has issucd a de- cree abolishing the right of asylum now enjoyed by political offenders; providing for the trial of disturbers of the political institutions as conspira- tors by court-martial; that every citizon taken with arms in his hands will be sentenced to death; that the ordinary tribunals will continue to administer justice in civil and crimi- nal cases; thata congress Jis to meet at the capital on August to revise the congtitution. It looks now as if the Dominicans would soon be ready for another revolt. A congress elected under this priestly dictator will hardly be an independent body. —— New Zealand is by no means the agricultural paradise as painted in glowing colors by English journalists. A correspondent of the London Daily Nelson, says: “Whoever in England, wheth- er farmer, tradesman, artisan, or la- borer, can by an honest and honora- ble means manage to keep a roof over his head, let him by all means stop where he is. The safest speculator in this direction is undoubtedly the Brit- ish farmer with a moderate capital; but even him, in kview of the low prices of produce here, T would ad- vise to wait till wesee the effect of the effect of the better times which have already begun.” The difference betweon the eastern and western empress of China is more important than that ‘twixt tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. The latter is the smartest woman and also the one who is alive,—a quite impor- tant distinction. They rule the empire with the aid of the regent princes, the emperor being still a minor. Gen, Tso, whose successful campaigns and conquests in Kashgar have made him thenational hero, has now returned to Pekin, and is likely to give Chinese diplomacy toward Japan and perhaps other power a more aggressive tone, —_— A rEW years ago General Garfield said, ““A pound of pluck 1s worth a ton of luck.” The president is now fulfilling his own remark by an exam- ple of forzitude and pluck which is snatching life from the jaws of death.
