Tnstead of increasing the efliciency of our schools by weeding out the incompe- tent teachers and encouraging the most talented, the board has retained the poorest and driven away some of the most efficient teachers. St. Lours has expended several millions on her water works, but still she is planning more improvements. A fair estimate of the capacity of the present water works of St. Louis may be had from he the following figures: There are two reservoir systems for sottling and storage. The four set- tling basins have a capacity of eighteen million gallons each, or a total of sev- enty-two million gallons, The stor- age reservoir covers an area of over fourteen acres, wi.h a capacity of fifty- six million gallons, Cincinnati, with one-third less pop- ulation, has storage reservors, with a capacity of 105,000,000 gallons, or nearly double those of 8t. Louis. A runok was set afloat at the state capital last week to the effect that the Burlington & Missouri had disnosed of their lease of the Atchison & Ne- braska railroad between Lincoln and Falls City to Jay Gould, and taken in exchange the St. Joe & Denver road between Hastings and 8t. Joe. This eoxchange, it was represented, would enable Gould to operate the Missouri Pacific over the Atchison and Nebras- ka track to Lincoln and thence over the Omaha and Republican Valley branch to Omaha thus doing away with the necessity of building the proposed line from Omaha via Papil- lion, Aftor diligent inquiry we have reached the conclusion that this ro- port is unfounded, at least nobody in authority connected with railway lines in this city credits the story, and we presume it is a canard, _ _________] Tue appearance of the army worm in portions of Illinois and Jowa is causing much alarm among farmers in theso states. This is not the first time, however, that these voracious insects have ravaged the prairie states of the west. The Bloomington (IlL.) Panta- graph relates the experience of Illi- nois farmers during the invasion of 1867, as follows;) Capt. John Johnston, of Normal, recalls the fact that in 1857 this sec- tion of the country was visited by the army worm in large numbers, They | one Denver drummer to six from St. DENVER AND OMAHA. The returned editorial excursionists say that at Salt Lake they found oniy Joseph and seven from Omaha, to nothing of dozens from Chicago, . Lonis and New York., Kansas City, strange to say, had no repre sentative there and does not seem to be making any effort to secure Utah trad But the fact that Omaha and St. Joseph are selling many times more goods than Denver in the terri- tory was definitely ascertained, and is important. Tt is at oncoa humili- ating reproash to the enterprise of Denver merchants and a cheering hint of the comercial possibilies that Utah offers to us. Tor no one can doubt that Denver, with her superior capital and superb location, can sell good to Utah at a profit if Omaha and . Joseph can.—Denver Tribune, No doubt that Denver capital is capable of great thines but Omaha push and enterprise will al- ways be & match for it Denver has an extensiye field for her capitalists to operats in, but it is mainiy invested in the development of mines, In the wholesale trade, how- ever, Omaha is way ahead and will continue to be ahead in the future. Omaha is much nearer the base of supplies than Denver, and she pos- sosses superior facilities for the trans- portation of goods. With three rail- ways to Chicago, two to St. Louis and one to St. Paul her merchants can handle immense stocks and re- plenish them at all times. While Denver commands a very profitable mining trade Omaha merchants have amore extensive field to operate in. They command the trade of Western Towa and Nebraska reach out through the territories traversed by the Union - Pacific, and branch out into Tdaho, Montana, and clear to the Pacific coast. When: Denver completes her railroad lines into Utah she will get a share of Utah trade, but even then Omaha will not allow herself to be undersold. At no time in her history has the wholesalo trade of Omaha been as active 8 it is to- day, and the fact that new wholesale houses are locating here and the established houses with their enlarged facilities are selling a1l the goods they can handle, warrants the belief that Omaha will soon outstrip all rivals west of Chicago and north of St. Louis as a wholesale market. OUR FUTURE FOREIGN THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1881. hence lightning is more likely to strike a wire fence or a telegraph line than a flock of sheep or a herd of cat- tle. But when the lightning has once struck the wire fenco its path will be to the ground by the nearest and shortest outlet. The wire is at- tached to fence posts, and these posts are sunk several feet in the ground, hence lightning nine times out of ten will seek the ground through this nat- ural outlet. But if the use wire fencing want absolute protec- tion from lightning there is an casy and cheap remedy. All they ha'e to farmers who do is to attach picces of wire to the | fence posts every fifty or one hundred feet and sink the wire three or four fect into the ground. These ground wires will protect their fence posts as well as their cattle by drawing the surplus discharge of electricity into the ground. We still doubt the correctness of the reports about cattle or sheep being struck by lightning attracted by wire fences. Dead birds are frequently found in proximity to telegraph lines, and for years it was the general belief that these birds were killed by the electric fluid. The fact is that frequently birds, while flying strike telegraph wires with great force and drop down dead. Cattle and sheep, many have been killed by lightning in proximity to wire fences, but in all probability they would have been killed had the fence been constructed of wooden rails or boards. Ir is stated on the authority of a sound democrat trom Springfield, that John W. Bookwalter, the democratic candidate for yovernor, went to Ne- braska where he has a farm of sixty thousand acres, just before the October election last fall, and refused to come back to vote the state ticket, when votes were most in demand. He was telegraphed and urged, but he would mnot come. He voted for Greeley in 1872, and did not vote at all in 187G, but it was convenient for him to be home last November, and he cast his first democrati¢ vote for Hancock. He is quite a new convert, and there will likely be quite a number of the old line democrats who will not go to much inconyenience to get out to the polls this fall.—[Columbus (0.) Cor- respondence Cincinnati Commercial, Mz, Bookwavrter's Nebraska farm embraces only 17,000 acres but that trifling discrepancy will by no means let him out for skulking away from Ohio during a presidential election POLICY. Secretary Blaine is said to be pre- paring some very vigorous dispatches for the benefit of outsiders on our foreign policy. When made public they will give the European powers a better idea of the future policy of our government in dealing with questions affecting interests on this continent than they have ever possessed. The Do Lesseps project for a canal across the isthmus of Panama will come in for a large share of consideration, so that whatever may be the result of the foreign con- forence on this question, with a view of making this commercial highway neutral property, the policy laid down by Secretary Blaine will give them a more radical interpretation of the Monroo doctrine than they ever had before. The whole South American question will be considered, not in an aggres- sive spirit, but in favor of maintain- ingeach separate nationality within the limits of its legitimate boundary. In other words the new American policy will pledge itself to the main- tenance of things just as they are at present, and if any changes are likely to be deemed necessary this govern- mont proposes to dictate their charac- ter. If there is any absorbing to be done the United States promises to be on hand, and what they can't manage themselves outsiders need not trouble themselves about. The time has ar- rived when a policy of this kind can no longer be delayed. It is not only demanded by the plain teachings of our “Manifest Destiny” in a political sense, but by the growing necessities of our commerce, which, if not soon wrosted from foreign control, will re- duce us to what we are virtually at present—the weakest maritime power in the world. Secretary Blaine real- izes this perhaps as keenly and as comprehensively as any public man in the country aud it will be no fault of his if it is not remedied durin ministration of our foreign aff year. An Ohio manwho would stay away from home at such a time is totally unfit for any oftice last of all for the governorship. In Nebraska such an Ohio man would be disfranchised—-no matter how many 17,000 acre farms he owned. Tue last legislature of Vermont enacted a tax law for the suppression of tax dodgers. This law has just been tested and proves to be a success in this important reform. The first fruits of the new assessment under this law js to increase the taxable basis from §100,650,000 to $163,391,- 000, an increase of a little more than $63,000,000. If the next Nebraska legislature should follow the example of Vermont Omaha will have all the money she needs for improving her streets. Ex-ComyisstoNer LeDuc estimates the shortage in the wheat crop of this country during the present year as compared with the crop of 1880 at 140,000,000 bushels, Had LeDuc been retained at the head of the na- tional sced bureau this great falling off might have been averted. Public Opinion. Chicago Times. The country, and especially the re- publican party, is well rid of the te- dious strugglo; but it ended in farce, a8 it began in mock melodrama by the resignation of che two senators, who threw down their commissions in or- der toget a sensational vindication, and immediately posted off to Albany to lobby like a pair of common office- seokers in behalf of their own re-elec- tion. As it began with & transparent piece of bluff, it has ended with a transparent piece of hocus-pocus, Ac- cording to the Conkling men, the half breeds at last consented to hold a regular caucus, and, that beingdone, they, the Conkling men, yielded cheer- fully to the will of the majority, as pre-eminently loyal republicans like themselves ought to do; had the half- broeds held a regular caucus earlier, all the bother of the last two months might have been saved. According to the half-breeds, there was no cau- Comrraints are made all over the west, particularly in Kausas, Nebras- ka and Towa, that wire fences attract hglhtninu, which often results in the killing of stock, The stock imagine that the feuce affords protection from the storm and accordingly huddle close up to it. One instance is given injured the oats considerably, but did little damage further than that. Capt. Johnston noticed in the spring a patch wi meadow killed out on a farm he owns in Downs township. He is now satisfied that it was the work of the army worm, Mr. Ab Funk's farm and several other farms iu Funk's Grove are suffering from the atten- tions they are giving to the oat fields. They craw] up to the head of the stalks, and cut off the grains one by one. Mr, C. H. Salzman, an agent for a reapivg wachine, remembers that in Ohio scmething like forty mmuuu, the army-worm came in ¢ numbers two successive years. One year they were 5o numerous that they ate clover, grain, corn, and what- ever came in their way., The farmers contested their right of way into the corn pnm‘{ successfully by diggin, and dragging & log up an down the furrows to kill the worms, where sixty-five head of shecp were killed in Nebraska at a single stroke, and another where ten head of cattle were killed. Some farmers thiuk it would be profitableto do away with wire fencing altogether, — Kansis City Journal. ‘There is no doubt that wire fencing attracts lightning, and so do lightning rods and telegraph lines. But we doubt very much whether lightning attracted by wire fencing would be drawn from the fence- wire upon sheep or cattlo unless they were leaning against or in direct contact with the fence, and had previously been drenched by rain. Lightning or electricity always secks the best conductor and the shortest connection to the ground, Wire isa cus, oxw&}t the one which nominated Messrs. Miller and Lapham without the presence of a single Conkling man, and at last the Conkling men gave up, completely beaten, Br their ultimate support of M, Lapham the Conkling men have prob- ably saved their standing in the party, which their long opposition to the ma. jority, threatening us it did the suc- coss of the party at the polls this fall, and the party's control of the senate had done much to endanger. What eftect the solution of the difliculty by Mr. Lapham’s election will have on Mr. Conkling's political carcer isa complex problem. Heis & man of many resources, but he has achieved power, not as the representative of a principle dear to to the people, and only in a secondary sense by his per- sonal popularity. It was the control of the federal patronage in the state of New York that made him loow up into what the unthinking call a great statesman, albeit he left untouched all the great problems of statesmanship. What he can do when he has no patronage and no prospect of getting any, it will be in- teresting to observe. e has the rare quality of leadership, and he is an im- much better conductor than live stock; R TR posing, though turgid, orator, It is | in view of his long record and his one as amusing a piece of lofty tumbling in politics as his appearance as a | would be. Chicago Tribune When Conkling resigned he took the state by surprise; but when he an- nounced his intention to seck a re- ion as an independent senator for the purpose of antagonizing_the presi- dent the people of New York wero first filled with amazement and then with indignation. Nine-tenths of the | citizens of his own party were imbued [with the conviction that he was an unfit person to represent that state in the senate. It was felt that a man who could do what he had done, who had left the state without representa- tion in the senate,who had abandoned the United States senate to the oppo- sition, not because of any principle, but solely from fish anger at the president, had proved his essential un- titness for a position which requires self-command and proper respect fc the constitutional rights of the exec- utive. But Conkling affected to sup- pose that tho universal condem- nation of his course was a mere artifice of the newspapers, and did not reflect popular sentiment, and he stuck to this absurd view to the last. It was not the noise only of the united press of tho state of New York which he heard, but also of the indig nant voice of the people. Conkling’s flrst mistake was in at- tempting to ‘‘bulldoze” the president and senate about the control of an of- fice; his next, and still greater, was in resigning when he could not ‘‘boss” the wlmi‘u government; and his third and greatest error was in being a can- didate for reelection under such cir- cumstances, If he had said to his constituents that he had quarreled with the presi- dent and could no longer act in har- mony with him, and that he had made o vacancy which he desired them to fill by selecting some person who would be in accord with the adminis- tration, the people, while regretting his splenetic act, would have forgiven him, and if he behaved himself while ont of office would have soom restored him to puslic life. Chicago Inter-Ocean, New York, influenced by peculiar motives and considerations, strange hitherto to our politics, refuses to sustain her old senator, and Mr. Conkling retires to private life. The Inter-Ocean has no sort of doubt but that a great mistake has been com- mitted, but New York must choose its senators for itself. and if that state does not feel honored by being repre- sented by such a manas Mr. Conkling, republicans elscwhere may wonder, but must submit. That he will be missed | ereafter seriously, keenly, there can be scarcely a doubt. That republicans, now so glad to rid the party of his official presence, will see the day when they will wish he stood once more in the senate, matchless and peerless, to defend republican principles, is as certain as anything in the future well can be; but ~for the time being he is relegated to the rear, and there, bigger in his retirement than his assailants wrapped in the panoply of office, he must remain until awakened justice calmly hears his story and grants him that boon of fair play that has now been denied him.

Des Moines (Ia.) Register: Let us seek even the good side of the bad, and be thankful for it, Earmer Wil- son, of The Traer Clipper, says that the continued heavy rains in Jowa have saved the wheat from the chinch bugs, and that nothing else would have done 1t. It is all right then, we suppose, Only we do think that Providence might have drowned out as small things asthe chinch-bugs with a littlo less water. At least men who are building railroads could easily think that it might. Davenport (Ta.) Gazette: Ever and anon a g{uw York politician comes west and is elected to an important position, vide Charles Van Wyck, now Inited States Senator from Nebraska. But never in all the long vista of the future will any one of the twenty- eight to thirty-two Coukling members of the New York assembly see the spot in the west at whici political death will not meet them on the in- stant such an one shall have his name labeled, ““He voted for Conkiing in the war against the Garfield adminis- tration,” ~ Make a note of the proph- ecy. Nashville Banner (dem.): the names often mentioned in the telegrams in connection with the President Garfield noue have met with a kindlier reception than that of James G. Blaine, of Maine, Blaine while a member of the senate and still more while a member of the house stood in bad odor with the south, He was com- bative in the extreme, and was con- stantly in a row with one or another of the southern representatives, and the southern press, sympathizing with their own people, poured a constant stream of abuse upon the member from the Pine Woods. The first in- dication Blaine gave of a patriotic feeline was on a visit to Richmond, where he fascinated everyone who camo in personal contact with him. Then just before and during the Chi- cago convention Blaine took arms for the whole country ugainst the ag- gressive tendencies of the Grantites, and noblydid he battle against the dark powers of third-termism and consolidation. Like Samson of old, finding ho could not escape from the powers, he, by a giant effort, brought the temple down on his devoted head, crushing his enemies and his own hope at ono blow. This action dis armed all his southern opponents. He convinced every one that he had a country, and that party could not make him forget it Roche ter Democrat: The elec- | tion of Elbridge G.

She is passing the summer near Old Orchard, Senator Butler of South Carolina threat- ened to resign some time ago, He hasn't done it yet, and probably won't now. Canada papers say Lord Lorne is taking unusual precautions for personal safety when he travels. The poor fellow thinks he is a president or something of that sort. At Des Moines Jennie Hyland asks for o divorce from her husband Mark Hyland, because of cruel and inhuman treatment.

Mr. Herbe is a boiler-maker, and lives on Parade street. On Tuesday evening he was called to ropair a boiler, and, finding L it necessary to get inside he descended through the 1-hole and commenced the work w the furnace of the boiler is heated by natural gas, con- veyed by pipes,and owing tosome acci- nt the valvo got turned on and the commenced to rush through the k in the boiler. Herbe sprang up and made for the aperture and had succeeded in getting half way out when the deadly fluid communicated with the light and esploded with fearful force, hurling him from the man-hole with terrible velocity and enveloping him in flame. The poor tellow was shot away the entire length of the shop, and when picked up was a mass of bruises aud burns. It was at first feared he was fatally injured, as indeed all who witnessed his en- forced wrial flight expected, but Dr. Gray, the physician who attended, be- lieves he will recover in time. TH® EDISON LIGHT. 1ts Introductionin Cleveland in the Near Future. Cleveland Leader, The Edison light, which will short- ly be introduced into the Forest City, is making steady progress toward that end. From i's nature and practica- bility it will not conflict with nor en- croach upon the field of the Brush light. Tt is intended solely for house- hold and domestic use, and will, there- fore, come in strong competition with gas companies. The operations of the Cleveland company have been delayed considerably from the fact that the apparatus necessary is all manufac- tured in New York, and the orders being many Cleveland is obliged to wait her turn for supply. 1t is expected that in a week or two an ordinance will be prepared and sent by the company to the council asking permission to lay their pipes in the roadway near the curb, It is not necessary to place them in the earth 80 as to be beyond the action of ex- treme cold or heat, but simply deep enough so as to be covered up and outof the way. House connections will be made at distances of every sixty feet. Branch wires may extend into every room of a residence, and each room contain as many lamps as desired by the occupants. By manip- ulating the stop-cock of the main wire, which may be placed in a con- venient place, every burner in a house may be lighted in an instant, or if lighted, cut off as quickly, The lamps are of peculiar construc- tion, and can be used in a pendant or upright position with equal advantage to brilliancy. They are of glass, and might be called a pear-shaped bulby the smaller end being the base proper. It is about five inches long, its largest diameter being about two and a_half inches. The globe isa vacuum of one- millionth atmosphere. The carbon is of bamboo, the loop being in the shape of a horseshoe, and as fine as a hair from a horse’s mane. Extend- ing from the base of the globe inside i8 a glass cone through which extend two platinumed wires. These are ex- tended by half-inch-length copper wires, and these again by the bamboo earbon, which connect above and form the loop. The bulbs are so construct- ed as to be easily adjusted to house gas-fixtures, the circuit bemng formed by simply making the connection of the bulb to the fixture. A small cut- off is affixed to the base of the bulb, 80 that when the lamps' form a chan- delier only. as_many as are desirable need be used. An ingenious ar- rangement prevents any danger by fire from the breaking of a globe or the overcharging of a wire. A num- ber of specimen lamps of thirty can- dle power were seen by a Leader re- porter at the office of Mr. C. D. Ev- erett, the attorney for the company. Some of the wealthiest citizens of Cleveland are interested in the enter- prises. The capital stockyis now $500,- 000, but will be increased as circum- stances may seem to demand. It is to be made as economical as gas, if not more so, and, from the nature of its advantages, the opinion is ex- pressed that the gas companies will have a tight pull for it. Ridiculously Romantic. Special to 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat. Yazo00 Ciry, Miss., July 20.—The mail rider brings from Bellsonia, Washington county, to-day, news of an affair tragic, romantic and some- what amusing, Livingnear that place is a family named Gorey, and among other things it contains a daughter, whose loveliness completely captured a neighbor named Hubbard. The latter visited the pnmnt-d only to an find them hard unrea- sonable, and without more ado he went home for his gun, and returning attempted to shoot Mr. Gorey, who, by some accident, was standing behind his wife. The latter was shot, but not dangerously, This happened last week, and on Monday Hubbard was arraigned for trial, hay- ing been under bail. The young lady concerned was a witness for the state, but when called on she pleaded diffi- dence and was allowed a little time, which she improved by going to a store near by, where she met and was married to Hubbard by a magistrate, The announcement, in the court room raised a storm, but at last accounts all parties were becoming rapidly recon- ciled.
