SUBURBAN STREET RAIL- WAYS. ties Our present street railway faci do not meet the wants of a rapidly growing city. We need and must have street railrsads to the suburbs. Real estate in the centrai part of the city1s out of the reach of people with moderate incomes, especially mechan- ics, laborers and clerks who earn less than 1,200 a year. Rents between the north and south Omaha crecks are so high that only men of means and professional men with large incomes can aflord to pay them. Omaha must soon make her suburbs accessible to workingmen and men of moderate 1ncomes, or hundreds of these thrifty, indus- trious people will be compelled to seck employment elsewhere, In the prosent state of universal prosperity and general demand for mechanics, they will have no difficulty in finding employment in other cities. Working- mon are the bone and sinew of all cities. One capitalist may occupy more residence grounds than twenty workingmen, but twenty tamilies circulate a good deal more money in a community than one family; even if they are extrava- gant enough to buy their luxuries at home, as few of our nabobs do. . Tho only way to make Omaha a great city is to provide means for steady employment of laboring men and to make these working men share in our prosperity by affording them the means to become owners of comfortable homes, By establishing tactories and carrying on public im- provements, working men will find steady employment, and by placing our suburbs within easy reach of work- ingmen tney can acquire comfortable homes. There is only one way to bring this about and that is the construction of suburban street railroads that will enablea workingman living three or four miles from our business center to go to and return from their daily task within fifteen or twenty minutes, at an expense of ten cents per day. In every large city in the country the street railroads transport thousands of laboring men aud women to and from their work everyday. Omaha must socn afford the same facilities to her work- ing people. At present the street rail- way does not even attempt to accom- modate that class, except in their re- turn from the factories and shops. The street cars do not begin to run until after seven a. m., and hundreds of men who would gladly pay the car-fare are compelled to walk. But we hopo the day is not distant when a competing street car line will compel Captain Marsh to improve his accommodations. One thing is self-evident, our capital- ists who are interested in suburban property will lose a golden opportun- ity if they don't build a suburban street railway this season. NEBRASKA'S METROPOLIS. Nobraska's most pressing need is o city large enough to contain wholesale houses that will supply the entire state with every class of goods. Chicago and St. Louis have been quarrelling over the patronage from this state for years, and we at the same time have slmnt millions of dollars that should have been saved to the state. Omaha is, however, rapidly taking a front rank among the cities and to a certain ex- tent is supplying the trade of Nebraska. She has grown rapidly during the past five years, and this season is b ng and im- proving more than at any time before, Her wholesale houses are - xtending their busi- ness into every county in the state, but there is still & large proportion of the trade that should go there. We hope to see new and larger wholesale houses erected in our metropolis soon, and the trade that is now going to Chicago and St. Louis be turned to build up a large city in our own state, - Grafton (Neb,) Gazette, Omaha if her present development is stimulated by the enterprise and pub- lic spirit of her citizens, will before long be able to meet the wants ex- pressed in the above complimentary notice. To-day her wholesale houses compete on advantageous terms in many lines of trade with Chicago and St. Louis. Her commercial travelors make trips ag far as the Pacific coast with profit to their employers. In groceries, nails, hardware, paints and oils, white lead, jewelry, guns and ammunition, alcoholic spirits, drugs, crackers, teas, confectionery, stoves and tinware, dry goods and cloth- ing, furniture, and other lead ing lines of business Omaha al- ready supplies such portions of Ne- braska as she can conviently reach. In the territories, notably in Wyo- ming, Utah, Idabo and Montana, Omaha has a very extensive whoiesale trade, which is constantly increasing. In those fields she makes successful competition with Chicago, St. Louis, Denver and San Francisco, and 1t will not he lpag before Nebraska mer- chants will find it to their advantage to deal more exclusively with the wholesalers pf their metropolis, OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The suecess of the Land bill in the House of Lords seems assured in ad- vance of its introduction into that body. The power of public sentiment which has sustaided. Mr. Gladstone in his wearisome fight for his great o form measure, has made itself felé! j@Yen in the juvper, house,; and the verdict of the Commons will undoubt- odly be ratified by the peers. The Wy . o e soiBocol (he press in this country. Such criticism has principally arisen’ from ‘&' misun- s derstanding of their attitude. Ob- struction was first adopted to force at- DY 1 W 0 B TP - fention to Trish questions. It was the last resort of a minority to compel a hearing from a powerful majority, and it accomplished it's ob- ject. Tt was afterwards continued to prevent legislation, which its authors foresaw would only make matters worse in Ireland. It was dropped against such measures as were honestly meant to improve the condition of the country. One of the strongest points made by the League against Mr. Gladstone's measures was that while administering roliof to the peasant farmers it did little for the laboring classes, Ireland containg 450,000 farmers and 500,000 day laborers and in the districts where the Land League is the strongest the farmer population s the largest. Notwithstanding this fact and the charge made by the tories that the farm laborers would soon be organizing to put down the farmers of tho league, a delega- tion of laborers waited upon Mr. Mr. Forster to urge their claims for recognition in the bill and their ear- nest support of the league. Mr Forster was not able to promise them much beyond the suffrage, as soon as it was given to the corresponding class in England and Scotland. But as this will affect Ulster county electicns only, it does not amount to much. The Irishman's one am- bition, fostered by centuries of Eng- lish misrule, and the consequent ex- tinction of all industries but farming, the ambition to get a piece of land for himself, he could not promise to pro- mote, except very indirectly. The Land bill, though necessarily defective, is a measure which is destined to pro- mote great and lasting reforms in Ircland. Itis the work of a states- man whose moral courage and Chris- tian character have been shown never as strongly as in the persistency with which he has pushed forward to com- pletion a reform wnich will always re- main as a lasting monument to its au- thor. The corruption of Russian ofticials is proverbial. The utter ignorance, the superlative indifferonce to public opinion and the extravagance with which the affuirs of the government is carried on in Russia would make a star-route swindler or navy yard con- tractor in this country turn green with envy oyer his own comparative insig- nificance as a practitioner in such matters. One of the latest sampies of Russian management is the story of the cathedral of Novotchercousk, in the territory of the Don Cossacks. This abortive edifice, “‘in hand” for nearly three-quarters of a century, has just been condemned by the im- perial architectural surveyors to be pulled down and carted away. Mil- lions have been squandered upon the structure. It has been a chronic source of fortune to all the functionaries successively connected with its erection. In the year 1844, being then in a state ap- proaching completion, it suddenly collapsed and crumbled to pieces. Nineteen years later, while undergo- ing the roofing process, its walls again fellan. Ever since that second catas- rophe it has remaiued a total wreck — amere heap of ruins—until a few weeks ago the fiat went forth from St. Petersburg that what remained of it was leveled with the ground, at an estimated outlay of 70,000 roubles. Another was the abandonment of the partially built Cathedral of our Savior at Moscow, the site of which, after 2,000,000 of roubles had been ex pended upon vain efforts to lay its foundations, was ‘‘accidentally dis- covered” to be a sandhill, intrinscally incapable of sustaining the sacred building's weight. The fact that ex-Ttalian Premier Carroli is now in conference with Bis- marck at Kissingen is being construed to mean an Ttalio-Germanic alliance against France, This can hardly be true. With Africa to relieve the pent-up energy of France, Germany must feel that the wisest policy is to let the republic alone. Dreams of an African empire, reaching from the Mediterranean to the Nyanza lakes, are already crowding out of the Gallic mind the memories of 1870, and they have found a channel into which they can push, and Germany will hardly care to block a scheme which will take all the money and men that France can spare far from the theatre of any possible war on the Rhine, A sentimental friendship for Ttaly is all that could induce Prussia to interfere, and sentiment has little to do am nations. As a 1aatter of fact Germany does not feel that danger is pressing upon her from the west. 1Tt is across the IRussian marches that her eves are bent; it is there that forts are being built and every possible: precaution taken for the war which sooner or later must come, When the cramp of nihilism passes from the vitals of Holy Russia she stands ready to throw two millions of men upon Prussia, and it mast be remembgred that the hatred ofthe Gfi‘)xm..mo“ the Sclays has become almost a religion.

Ar- ticles of food under imports repre- sented a diminution for the five months of 62,000,000 francs, which was reduced to the 20,600,000 francs in the total, by an increase in items classed as raw material, manufactures and miscellaneous. The ‘“Three Emperors League,” it appears, is to re-assemble at Gastein next month, The emperors of Ger- many and Austiia are sure to bo pres- ent, and both are urging the Czar of Russia to join them. The league was formed about ten years ago, and re- newed soon after the assassination of the late czar. It was at first con- sidered dubious whether Alexander IIT would take his father's place in the league, as 1t was understood that he cherished a hope of some time see- ing the Polish provinces detached from Germany and Austria, but as the chief purpose of the alliance is to promote personal friendship, and the young czar felt the need of co-opera- tion of sovereigns for protection against the nihilists, he joined his grand-uncle the Emperor of Germany, and the emperor of Austria in the tripartite agreement. However, he may not be able to attend the Gastein meeting, for he is still understood to be in ill health, and his close confinement and the weight of the crown may yet fully unbalance the mind of the inexpe- rienced czar. Prince Bismarck chose Gastein, a small town about 200 miles southwest of Vienna, as his summer residence, and the calling of the em- perors’ convention there is at least significant. The liberals of Germany distrust the league, regarding it as in some way in furtherance of Bismarck’s arrogant policy in the administration of German governmental affairs, If Alexander I1T. attends the conference the meeting of the imperial league will be an event of great interest and im- portance, Egypt seems to prosper in spite of the heavy burdens laid upon her. In area of arable land, Egypt hardly ox- ceeds the state of New Jersey. Her public debt is $450,000,000 and her revenue barely $42,500,000, of which $20,000,000 goes to pay interest on her bonds and $3,500,000 is paid to the sultan. Notwithstanding this drain on her resources, the country continues to prosper, and last year paid not only her interest but also $1,600,000 on the principal. The improved credit has caused universal hopefulness as to the future of Egypt. Capital is pouring into the country; and a great number of companies for sugar refining, irrigation, land culti- vation, jute growing, and building purposes have been established. The money rate of interest has fallen from 12 per cent to about 5 per cent, and land which sold three years ago at $50 per dere is now sought in vain for $150. During three years the value of the unified debt bonds alone has increased by $65,000,000; and during the year 1880 the value of the consol- idated debt bonds rose from $330,000,- 000 to $400,000,000. The fiscal and financial reforms have been most thoroughly and energetically carried out, but beyond this very little has been accomplished. Commissions have been appointed to introduce re- forms in the departments of war and public instruction, The ex-Khedive left behind him in Egypt an army of nearly 100,000 then. Under the new regime this force was reduced to about 6,000 men; but provision for the su- pernumerary officers, who consider that they have a vested right to re- ceive bed and board from the govern- ment, still continues to be a serious embarrassment to the authorities. Gambetta’s recent legislative defeat is more damaging than Bismarck’s. The Frenchman's strength is still in the gristle. 1t has not been hardened by events and the arduous labor of things done. For months past Gam- betta’s will has been the will of France, He has enjoyed the sweeter side of modern sovereignty. His words have been caught up to the ends of the earth. His trips through the provinces have been royal pro- gresses, A great people seemed ready to speak and act through him and the step seemed short which sep- arated him from the open assumption of the only safe despotism now left, the despotism ot the unchallenged leader of an unquestioned majority. He set out to cross this short gap by remodeling the electoral system of France, making the machine strong through the introduction of the unit system in the choice of deputies from the departments, The measure failed iu the senate, struck down by moderate republicans. The majority, which has so long obeyed Gambetta in the lower chambez, declined to hasten an appeal to the people. The consti- tution hag proved too strong for the boss. (lambetta, speaking at a trades- man’s fete in Belleville, which he now represents, has made haste to say that deputy representing ‘a single arron- dissements, 'Through France, he and his friends will work together to wield a majority in his favor; but he has publicanism as well as the extromes of radicals and monarchists.

The very last thing in this direction is to wear stockine of one color on one foot, and & i the other—for instance cking on the right foot and a cardinal one on the ieft, or one of pale blue with another of gold color. This |g fashion seems to be more suggestive of a gaudy clown at a cireus performance than vthing else, hile a young lady of Jamestown was bathing in Chautauqua Lake the other day an impertinevt turtle seized her by the ear, Her screams brought friends to her assistance, or she would certainly have heen drowned; but the turtle’s grip was like a bulldog's, and after its head had been cut off it took ten minutes to pry the jaws apart. It waa & cruel experience for the young lady of Jamestown, but without these little incidents of summer leisure, corvespondence from seaside, lake and mountain would not be one-half so pic- tuvesque.

However much the conduct of the man is to be condemned, it will not do to condone the offense of the woman, as could be done in the case of a trusting young girl. What the Women Say at Weddings The following remarks have mostly been said time after time at all our “tony” wed- dings, and will be said again and again on every such oceasion : Here she comes! Pretty, isn't she? Who made her dress? It is Surah silk or satin? Is her veil real lace? She’s as white as the wall! Wonder how much he’s worth? Did he give her those diamonds? He's scared to death? Isn't she the cool piece! That train’s a horrid shape! Isn't her mother a dowdy? Aren’t the bridesmaids homely? That a handsome usher? Hasn't she a cute little hand?

He's as homely as a hedge-hog! Helooks like a circus clown! No, he's like a aancing-master! Good enough for her, anyway, She was always a stuck-up thing. She’ll be worse than ever, now! She jilted Sam Somebody, didn’t she? No, fio tiever asleed her, He's left town, anyway. There the ceremony has begun, Isn't he awkward? White as his collar! Why don’t they hurry up!

She was always a sweet little thing. How gracefully she walks! Dear me, what airs she puts on! Wouldn’t be in her place for a farm! T'll bet those jewels were hired.
