Tur little item of ‘‘water coolers,” purchased for the use of thelate dem- ocratic congress, cost the country 87,- 000. And now some inquisitive peo- ple are anxious to learn what in the world a democratic congress did with 80 much water. A sap disappointment awaits the blatant barnacles who expect to use the Grand Army of the Republic as a tow line to pull them through the cam- paign next fall, The average Ne- braska veteran has cut his eye teeth some time ago.

A true history of these outrageous steals in our state after the would fill a Jarge sized volume and prove interesting reading. ARKANSAS i8 already in the throes of a senatorial centest. Mr. land's term expires next year and it is evident that he will have many and strong rivals, Mr. Garland ranks among the ablest of democratic sena- tors, and cannot easily be replaced by any timber which has yet been discov ered in Arkansas. Isx't it high time for Governor Nauce to call for special elections to fill existing vacancies in the legisla- ture, It is important that there should be a full legislature when the state is divided into congressional dis- tricts and there is now every indica- tion that the legislature will have to be convened by the middle of March if not sooner. Gar. AN investigation by the Pennsyl- vania railroad company has disclosed the fact that during the session of the legislature the company carried fully two car loads of dead heads on ex train, An investigation by the tax payers of Pennsylvania might disclose some additional facts as to what indi- rect pay the reilroads received in re- turn for their passes. M. Braine's explanation of his South American policy will offectu- ally dispose of the falsehoods that have been put in circulation concern- ing his alleged / mercenary designs. Viewed in the light of this explana- tion Mr. Blaine's courss caunot fail to meet general approvai. Iv is the manifest interest of the United States to check British aggression in South America and prevent, if possible, the monopolizing of South American com- merce by the British. It 15 now virtually settled that the new apportionment bill agreed upon by tho census commmittee of the honse will becomne a law within the next ten days. ®Undor this bill the nex; house will be eomposed of 320 members During the next ten ycars Nebraska will be the only state with three mem« bers. Misaissippi, Now Hampshire and Vermont will haye only two mem bers each, while Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Nevada, Oregon and Rhode Island will on'y have une member each. Tn other words Nebraska wall rank ahead of niue states in point of representation and if Dakota is ad- mitted this winter as is almost cortain, ahe will outrank ten states.

At the mecting held by the regents of the state university last week the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the best interests of the university will be served by the discontinuation ot Profcss rs Church, Harrington, KEmerson and Woodberry, as professors in the uni- versity of Nebraska, and that they are hereby notified that their services as professors will terminate at the end of the present accademic year. I(vaed. That the secretary be in- structed to transmit a copy of these resolutions to each professor wen- tioned. Only four members of the board were present, and these resolutions passed in secrot session by a vote of three to one. Tt 18 announced that this summary procoeding was institu- ted by the bonrd to enforce discipline and establish harmony in the univer- sity. Those who claim to know the true inwardness of this new depart- ure assert that this is simply a pretext for carrying eut a long meditated scheme to reorganize the faculty on « strictly orthodox religious basis. Tt is a notorious fact that Chancel lor Fairfield has been at variance with several members of religious he considered an esser them seats the sooner e bottor rece unaran Reck pomt where it is absolutely the law should step inand by h the faculty as re exercises which inl part of uni Threo years ago, when this sectarian controversy be- tween Chancellor Fairfield and mem- bers of the faculty was brought to the notice of the regents, they declined to intorfere. The legislature was thereupon invoked to oust Chancellor Fairfield, upon charges which alleged that he had been guilty of various abuses, These charges we regarded as frivo- lous, and Txr Bre expressed sympa- thy with the chancellor. After due inveatigation the legislature dismissed them as groundless. Laboring under the delusion that the legislature approved his attempt to enforce religious exercines in the university the chancellor has ever since been wrestling with those mem- bers of the faculty who did not share his sectarian zeal. The action of the board of regents forces the issue and. the people of this state are confronted with the fact that creed has become an essential qualifi- cation of professors at the state uni- versity. What other constru. tion can be placed on the order of disnissal passed by thehoard? They propose to harmonize the unversity by replacing four dissenters who do not agree with Chancellor Fairfield on points of faith by four professors whose views upon all essential points of orthodoxy wards tho vorsity training. are in accord with his creed. When this new departure is carried into practical effect the university will be degraded into a svotarian seminary. Against such au attempt we entor an emphatic protest. The university of Nebraska was founded for the benefit of the whole state rogardless of creed, Ttis sup- ported by taxation levied upon all the people rogardless of creed snd it should be open to all our citizens of all creeds, and no creed, Sectarianism should have no lodgement in the uni- veorsity and every attefupt to make creed a test of fitness among its faculty should be frowned down, What would tho protestant peoplo of tho state say if the chancollor of the university happened to be a Cath olic priest and should insiat upon Ro- fman Catholic chapel exoreiscs by the faculty and students/ Would thoy not refuse to bo taxed for such an in- stitution, and raise a clamor for clos- ing it? And yet Catholics, Jows, Un- itarians, Universalists, and people who believe 1 no particular religion are forced to pay toward maintaining this university - of which a Congregati al ministor is the head—and in which religious dogmas, repugnant to them are iuculeated to their sons aud daughters, If this course 1 adhered to, the people of this state will instruct the next legislature not to vote another dollar to the university. Those who desiro sectarian exercises or religious iustruction can find it in sectarian seminarics and colloges. The only essentinl qualifications to bo exacted from members of the facully should be competency to teachthe branches of instruction assigned to them an unblemished reputation aud moral conduet, specific charge of disreputable or im moral conduet has been mude against the four obnoxious wmewmbers of the As far as we can learn, no 'Hb HMAHA,DAILY B fuculty, The only ground that we e in a ol but if wnd justify the proposed cha siro fo enforee better discipline, Chureh, Harvington must vo, to Ererson, Woodbury prove the discipline of the university, he faculty why should other members of t be rotained whose neglect of duty is Why do ain Professor Aughey, destructive of all disciplin the regents r who is absent from his post of o duty most of the time, d in king schomes g money ma land jobs in no way connccted with j 3 the aniversity.

Aceordingly on Saturday the entire Gambetta ministry handed in their resignations to President Grevy and a vote of ! The vote was so nothing re- M. de Freycinet was at once recallad to organize a new ministry. Leon Gambetta's fall is directly at- tributed to an overweening ambition for personal power. His measure for the revision of the consti famous tution had for its object the concen tration of all legislative power in the chamber of deputies, of which he be- lieved himself to be the absolute auto- erat. A republican whose fidelity to republican institutions has never above With an nis copy trom the been questioned, Gambetta all things a Gembottist. unfaltering confidence in abilities to govern Krance tribune of the chamber of deputies ho d to permit no checks upon the measures which he determ proposed to carry through that hody tor repross il sentiment unfavorable to re- ideas, It this view chat ho attempted the radi ing publican was with abolition of life senatorships whose incumbents had been largely drawn n the ranks of the monarchists and impeonilists, Tt was in the sume plan that he advocated the pursuance of clection of all representatives “at large,” instead of by the present method of election by the districts, curtailing the power of the senate and affording enlarged scope for the expressions of the voice of the people at the polls. These were the.two great features of (Gambetta’s revision upon which he staked success, and suffered overwhelming defeat. The three months in which Gambetta has held office have gone far to prove the trath of the assertion that his real place was on the toor of the chamber of deputies and not at the head of the council of administration. His cabinet from which so much was expectod has failed te realize any of the dreams of its supporters, Tt uren of lasting importance, inaugura- ted no reforms of existing social and poli in both its for eign and domestic policy never rose above the level of mediocrity. introduced no meas- ical abuses, and m- posed of men ot little national dis- tivetion, it was believed to be the mouthpiece of the promicr, Wanting in character to ingpire public conti- dence, it failed to establish political stability. No observer of events in France during the past three months can fail to have noted the declining personal suppert of Gambetta. And all European authorities are agreed upon its cause. Franceis a nation of hero worshippers. But her heroes must be, or must at least appear to be, worshippers of France above self. As the radical young republicans, whose eloquence on behalf of the re- public tired the boulevards of Paris and swayed tho assembly, Gambet ta became the popular idol. But when he assumed the reius of government he became conger ive, and the ex tromo radicals and red republicans, led by Rochefort, on him. He is now shelved to make way for men less able, but more yielding to the wishes of the majority, made war But the time has not yet come for the permanent roetirement of such a man as Gambetta, Deprived of his ofticial dignities he is still to- day the most prominent of living Frenchmen. No man in France to- day can contest with Gambetta the power, swaying the masses, moulding public opinion and of attracting to his standard a devoted following. His star 8o long in the ascendant has been dimmed by a passing oloud of un- popularity which cannot long obscure its brightness. He will still be power- ful in his old seat in the Chamber of Deputios as the head of a strong faction, In the ever changing state of political parties Gambetta will be scen before many months at the direction of public affuirs backed by a majority, prepared to carry t succoss whatever plans ho may cou- vince his constituents to be tor the highest advantage of public — Tuk government cators that draw ten dollars per day | from the treasuary of the railroad com- the French re- | clusive pany « lunches, have submitted another an Thes part made up of at | nual report so-callod are for the P headquarter torneys, reports by the company's at and as might be expected flattering testimonial llence roted with the re only difference b directors, among whom the Reverend they furnish a of the u thing conr tehless ex f every d.

Men Blown lhrough the Walls | and Battered and Broken to Pieces. A Hack Full of People Run| Into by an Hastern Hx. press Train. Miscellaneons Casualties that Ro- anlt from Negleot and Care- lessness. National Associated Press, Famrrigun, Me., January 28 —A fatal boile -xpluuun.»ccurrml at 10:30 this morning in the mill ot the Ken- nebec Framing Company. One of the boilers burst with a deafening report that jarred the houses all over the village so that many persons thought an earthquake had shaken the place. The fire alarms were sounded and the citizens rushed to the place, when it was discovered what had happened. Telegrams were sent to Waterville nd a special quickly brought a tire engine and several physicians to the scene of the disaster. When the ex- plosion occurred there were seventy men in the building and nine of them in the engine and boiler rooms. The engineer, Robt. McCourth, had just put on steam in order to start the ma chinery, when he was blown out of the room. When found he was in- sensible, one ear was torn off and his face was terribly burned and defaced; he cannot recover. Jno. Avery and Charles Lalec, firemen, were instantly killed, and their bodies were not recovered from the debris until late this morning. They presented a sickening spectacle. Noah Rice, son of Manager W. W. Rice, formerly warden of the Maine state prison, was blown to the end of the boiler room. He was the first one found. His groans were heard for a short time and then ceased. When found his legs were fastened by broken material. John Smith, one of the foremen, blown through a brick wall and fatally injured, His faco was blackened and bruised heyond recognition, and Isaac Farkey was crushed and fatally m- jured. 'Jas. Dicer escaped with a broken arm and slight bruises. A number Lad just left the boiler room and escaped. The boiler was an old steamboat boiler that had been patched a nimber of times and was considered very dangerous for months. The company intended to replace it in the spring. The engincer says he has repeatedly told the managers of the dunger of an explosion. Fhe management is greatly blamed by the citizens here for its neglect. The property is owned by a stock com- pany, ex-Gov. Carbourne being the principal owner, and is under the management of Merrick, who is also treasurer. The coroner has sum- moned a jury which is now in session and a searching investigation will be had. The loss from the fire is slight, put the damage to machinery and building will be about $5,000. A large amount of work was in progress of finishing and the compauy has a number of large orders to fill.~ Tt will require three months to get into run- ning order again.
