Tt brougit together hundreds of comrades wiro had fought together in the same regimonts and many of them side by side in the same com- panies but who up to thab time did not know that there was another man in Nebraska whom they knew during the war. Many old and pleasant ac- quaintances were once more renewed, old time recollections were freshened by social iutercourse and for a few days the features of a soldier's life were lived over again. Hundreds of sturdy farmers came to the reunion in their farm wagons, accompanied by their wives and children, who were thus enabled to see the sunny side of soldiering in camp. The camp fire stories were very entertaining and often very pa- thetic when men recited their tearible sufferings in rebel prison pens. One of the advantages of the re- union was the military spirit which it Lincoln most pleasant tion in northwestern Utah, The reservation upon which the Uncompahgre tribe is to be placed is two hundred miles distant from Los Pinos and one hundred and fifty miles east of Salt Lake. The locality is said to be better in cvery respect than the present agency. Each of the fourteen huudred Indians will be al- lotted one hundred and sixty acres of farming and one hundred and sixty acres of grazing land. They will be in a country with which they are well acquainted and which immediately adjoins the reservation of the White River Utes. Theremoval is expected to be completed by September 1. Tax death of Win, G. Fargo, presi- dent of the American expross, and mayor of Buffalo, removes from active labor a man who was in- timately connocted with the system of rapid transportation, better known as the express business. Mr, Fargo ‘was one of the founders of the pres- ent American express company, origi- nally known as Livingston, Fargo & Co.’s express. In 1852, Mr. Fargo, associated with Henry Wells and D. N. Barnoy, founded Wolls, Fargo & Co.’s California aud European ex- press—an enterprise which operates a banking and exchange business as well, and wields a capital of six and a half millions of dollars. -~ It was main- ly through the untiring - zeal and sig- nal ability of Mr. Fargo that the American express company achieved its world-wide reputation, At the outbreak of the rebellion a very large number of this eompany’s employes enlisted in~ defense of the Union, and slthough Mr, Fargo was a life long democrat he gave the country an example of disinterested patriotism that deserved the highest commendstion, Under his divections every employe of the American Ex- press company who went forth to bat- tle for the flag was placed on half pay while he was in the field, or in other words he drew half his regular salary, and this generous concession supplied many of the soldier's familios with the neces- saries of life when they would other- wise have been in want, Awmong the old employes of the American Express Mr. Fargo's death will be most sincerely deplored. Dur- ing his active career serving a period of forty years he always made it a rule to encourage faithful and reliable employes by promotion and substan- tial recoguition. infused into the young men who had never seen active service. It is well that the memories of the last war should be cherished and that Young America should be inspired with the patriotic spirit of their fathers, The coming -reunion at Lincoln promises to be niuch larger than that at Centrul City. The majority of our farmers are in better financial condi- tion than they werea year ago. Most of those who attended the last reunion will doubtless be there and thousands who were not able to attend last year year will be present at Lincoln in September. Preparations on a very large scale are being made by the peo- ple of Lincoln and accommodations will be furnished for 60,000 people. Many of the prominent generals of the war, from Gen. Grant down to Ben. Butler, have been invited, and some of them will sureiy be present. Every effort will bo put forth by the Grand Army to make the oecasion in- teresting and memorable. Nebraska probably contains, in proportion to her population, more ex-veterans of the Union army than other state, and every veteran who can should not fail to be present at the coming reunion.

The advancment of the French elec- tions to an earlier date than usual isn prudent move'on'the part of the govern- ment, who deem it best to appeal at as ocarly a date as possible to the country for their approval of the policy of for vign adventure upon which the Mi try has entered. Every day ‘renders the position of the present Ministry more unstable—this weok it has es- caped a crisis by a very narrow major- ity — and the change of cabinets on the ove of a popular election would be unfortunate for the dominant party. The political groups which formed so compact & majority when the present deputies were elected have become more and more unmanageable, and the great leader whose overmastering in- fluence was felt by every constituoncy in 1877 has not been the same man since the rejection of the Scrutin de Liste, the Cahors' pageants and his defeat in the lower house. The Min- istry has shown good judgment in shortening the interval between the its efficiency is already impaire and tho instability of the ma- jority upow which it has been depending for support has bedonie ap- parent. The vitalizing energies which have made French republican- ism what it is have been'derived from the body of representatives elected directly by the people, and those en- ergies need to be stimulated by the action of the popular will and the pressure of new blood and new ideas at the center of Jpolitical power. That centre is the chamber of depu- ties, ‘The senate has recently assert- ed its independence by rejecting the Beratin de Liste and by amending the compulsory act, but the suprem- acy of the lower hovse eannot be seriously questioned. The senators have 46,000 constituents. National sovereignty expresses itself with an P D The second annual reunion of Ne- |the | uncertain sound in the senate, where great centres of population are brought down to a level with villages containing a fow hundred inhabitants. In the halls of the deputies, where the great battles of the republic have been fought, its teuo voice is heard While it is difficult to forecast the re sult of the coming elections, there are as yet no signs that Gambetta's atar is'not still in the aseendant. His brilltant' qualities as’' a republican leader, his cloguence in debate, and his unquestionable fidelity to advanced vepublican principles have given him & power among the French electors which it will be found difficult to break. Europe is still; unsettlod and the various foreign offices find themselves busily engaged in keeping track of new diplomatic complications which are constantly arising. The sent” of the powers, which what sup- posed to have been so satisfactorily settled by the Berlin treaty, has proved a rope of sand. The Greek difficulty still remains unsettled, Ttaly is violently agitated over was she believes to be French encroachments on her territory, while England and Turkey are both seriously alarmed over the movements of the French on African soil. The close alliance be- tween Germany and Austria which has existed so long is becoming less cordial. As the time for the final dis- memberment of Turkey draws near, the question must be ans gered: Is his Majoesty Francis Joseph ready to re- linquish Austria it Hungary 18 ex- tended to the Bosphorus? Austria- Hungary is, of course, an irreconcilable enemy to Italy, and in a great meas- ure also to Russia The Russian Em- pire, on the other hand, stands just now alone and forsaken in Eu- rope, even France having refused to join hands with her. Italy, also, is isolated from all other natious, unless Turkey be still considered a nation, and Greece shakes with sup- pressed fury] at all Europe. Great Britain distrusts Germany, is a rival of Russia, and feels a sort of coolness towards France, which country again has no other friend in Europe at pres- ent than ~ strange mutability of his- tory—the German empire. “eon- The defeat of Abdurrahman Khan onds the last remaininir fragment of the policy which Lord Beaconsficld’s administration attsmpted to cary out in Afghanistan at a cost of $75,000,- 000. The chief object of the war, be- gon by the last British ministry, was to cstablish at Cabul a dependent ameer The first step in this direc- tion, the appointment eof Yakoob Khan, an elder brother of Ayoob, who has just reached power, failed, and Yakoob Khan is now an Indian pen- sioner. He was succeeded at Cabul by Abdurrahman Khan, who was ex- pected to keep himself in power by the help of a heavy Bntish subven- tion, even if he was not able to put down his kinsman, Ayoob Khan, in open rebellion at Herat; but the re- cipient of the British bounty has been defeated in hls first battle, and his rival, who has been for three years cultivating the closest relations with Russia, is now in complete control of Afghanistan. A son of Shere Al, a grandson of Darb Mahommed, Ayoob is the ablest living representative of the Barnckaye house and his accession to power gives England a Russian sympathiser on the Indian border. The great powers are still greatly excited over northern Africa ¥ The French interest in Algiers has never been of any value to France, but ought to be of great value to Africa and there is no doubt that the pre- dominence of French influence in Tunis will help on the opening of the dark continent. It is rather absurd on the part of Great Britain to serve notice that nobody can ‘/improve” Tripoli, because Tripoli lies next to Egypt, and Egypt is in the hands of the Rothschilds, British and other. The British empire ought to have got through boistering up the eclaim of the porte over its distant dependen- cies. The sooner all the northern part of Africa from Morocco to the Nile passes under European develop- ment, the better for the world. At the other end of the continent, singu- larly enough, Caucasian blood and Ohristian institutions have got firmly rooted upon the soil, and there Eng- land can scarcely let them alone, but shie protects the Asiatic barbarism of the northern proyinces without hosi- tation. If England, as a government, adjournment and. the - elogtions, loflm,““m alone entirely, her Policy would bemore consistont and perdaps loss obstructive of progress. Mr, Jeunings' cable letter to the New York World says that *‘the feel- ing in the Lords is that the bill must bo passod substantially as it stands. Mr, Gladstone is firm in his detormi- nation to allow no important modifica- tions, and the members of the upper house do not care to risk a collision in which their body wouldysurely suffer. The Irish landlords declare that they have been sacrificed to radicalism, and say they will not si le with their Eng- lish brethren when & similar measure, or one perhaps mere drastic, is brought down to appease the popular ery against primogenitur)and entail.” A curious rumor in connection with this matter is that Mr. Gladstone is to be created Earl of Oxford at ‘once, and THE OMAHA DAILY BEE look after the intcrests of his bill in the upper house. But this is not to bacredited. However, Mr. Gladstone has earned reliof from the activities of the lower house, and in England this usually takes thic form of a life peor- age. The Tesh agitation in Amories, o sulting from the shipment of the in fernal machines to England is various commented upon by the Enclish pa- pers. A large number of the Ene- lish journals agree that the United States will enforce the law against the shipping of explosives and trust to the friendly offices of our government in restraining future like nature, mite scare as a simple advertisement of the skirmishing fund, intended to secure larger contibutions from Trish Americans, Notwithstanding the ad- verse effsct which the discovery was expected to have on the land bill in the house of lords, that body has wisely determined to interpose no ob- stacle to the wishes of the commons and has passed the bill to its third reading. Tts final passage is only a question of a fow days. movements of a Others regard the dyna- A semi-official letter received from Tripoli has been communicated to the French newspapers asserting that the attitude of the authorites there does not bear out the Porte's pacific assur- ances; that the landing of troops and war materials proceeds ostentatiously as if to excite the Mussulmans, and that Krenchmen, or those inhabitants who are under Fronch protection, are subjected to serious annoyances by the authorities, The Greek representative at Vienna has delivered a commuuication from jue cabinet at Athens pointing out that dangers are likely to arise from the porte’s contemplated delay in sur- rendering the remainder of the ceded territory to Greece. There is a hitch in the Transvaal negotiations in consequence of the re- fusal of the royal commission to sit with the person appointed by the Boers as a member of the financial committee, The Boers have demanded an apology, and refuse to meet the commissioners. The recent attack upon a surveying party on the Mexican Central Rail- road has given rise to many speeula- tions as to the degree of annoyance which the various railroad companies in that republic may expect to en- counter, It is admitted thet the Mexican government would protect the railroad builders if it were in its power to do so, but it is known that Mexico has a large lawless population which the government has never been able to reduce to subjection. The as- sailants of the Mexican Central party are reported to have been Apaches, and it is surmised that they are a part of Victoria’s band. - The danger, how- ever, does not arise from Apaches, but from that large class of the Mexican population which lives by plunder and is not particular who suffers by their operations, The existence of this class has suggested the idea that each company engaged in railroad building in Mexico should send with its army of construction a strong military col- ony, composed of men who will settic upon the railroad company’s lands as soon as tranquility is restored. The company can very well afford to give each of these semi-military settlers a one hundred and sixty acre home- stead, with some littl> assistance in the way of farming implements and provisions thrown in. Somebody has got toJsubdue the Apaches and their Mexican allies, and prebably no less expensive army could be organ- ized. The Bradlaugh case is again brought into prominence by his forcible eject- ment from the house of commons while attempting to take the seat to which he was elected. Mr. Brad- laugh has twice been returned to the parliament by the electors of North- ampton, He was refused his seat the first time because he declined to take the prescribed oath, Subse- quently he consented to take the oath, but declared that he attached no religious significance toit. He supported his right to his seat by the very true assertion that neither the Quakers nor the Jews were required to take the regular oath, and that his own convictions were as worthy of respect as theirs. Bradlaugh is an atheist, and the principle which is in- volved 1 Lis case turns upon the question of the right of parliament to reject a regularly elected representa. tive of a constituency for religious reasons, My, Bradlaugh's contest is to settle whethor religious prinei- ples or the lack of religious prinei- ples can Lo a bar to parlismentary privileges. In his determined effort to secure the seat to which he was elected Mr. Bradlaugh is supported by many who do not sympathize with his view, but who feel that he is the rep- resentatived of political rights, which cannot be ignored by the British par- liament. — “Out of Work, and sick with my kiduneys for ,years,” wrote Mr. Alexander Ferris, of Che- ::?ol-‘urk-, N.
