Cable advices from London nounce the death of Russia’s famous cavalry general, who has achioved considerablo renown in the diplomatic world by his extraordinary speech at Paris a few months after the death of an- Alexander the second. Michael Dimetry Skobeleff was born in 1841, and was therefore just in the flush of nanhood. He was early trained to arms and gave indications of his future career. His first dis- tinguished service was in 1871 and 1872 as a staff officer of the army at Turan, where he cxhibited great cour. age and skill in penetrating a wilder- noss and conducting through its un- known mazes a column of troops, He also discovered the old bed of the river Oxusand collected very important information concerning the land of Khiva and its people. When the expedition to China was sent out by Russia, Skobelefl accom- panied it as major of the genoral staff, and displayed great bravery in being the first man to «cale the walls of the city aud plant upon them the Russian flag. He was thereafter ap- pointed governor general of Fergana, and when the late Russo Turkish war was begun ho was sent to the Balkan. He there gave proof of those qualifica- tions which attracted the attention of the emperor, but his marvelous per- sonal daring at the Shipka pass and at Plevna endeared him on sugar will probably pass before congress adjourns, The manufac- ture of glucose—corn sugar—is o abundant that we hardly known sugar when we seeit. Dg. Minuer still keeps on striking at Mr. Paxton over Councilman Behm's shouldere. Mr, Paxton is a very good natured man, and can stand a good deal of abuse, but if he hits back Miller will .hink that he has run against the gentlo fist of Sullvan, Goverxor CorNeLL is advertising the veto power extensively, He vetoed half a million of jobbery, now he sends back the entire civil code, the military code, the receivership bill, until the dead bills lie about the table as thick as leaves in Valambrosa, Mg. AND Mus, CHRISTIANCY met on the streets in Washington, and the lady attempted to garrote Jhe ex-sen- ator. The senator was too old a bird to be caught by such chaff, and in an interview says the divorce must go on to a decree, as he can never live with Lier again, AMoNG the many conundrums that are Propounted w (hils papes Ly the Republican is the following: *“Will he (the editor of Tue Bek) tell us in a fow words what he memms? Is he a protectionist, a don’t-want-to-pay-the- national-debt man or is he the other thing—that new thing in political economy—a Van Wycker!” Tue Bee man always means what he says, and he generally says what ho means ina way that he who runs may read. There is an old adage that a fool can ask more questions than the wisest man can answer, In other words, the bigger tho ass the louder he brays. Tue New Yo k Times of the third s & calm and sensible leader on the recent disfranchisement of the Irish members, It declares that the com- mons acted hastily, uvjustly and with an indecency that is only a little re- moved from public disgrace and dis- honor, But summing it all up, the solid conclusion is stated that the Irish issuo is inevitable, Ireland was won by force aud fraud, held by the same means, and these are the means to which every English ministry will turn, The Irish never will submit, and one bleeding and starving gener- ation will transmit to another the im- perishable inheritance of the heroic struggle. Tug statement of the public debt balanced up to July 1 is a kind of in- dex to the administration of the pub- lic treasury, A government is like any other large corporation doing buriness for its stockholders, and not only to his imperial master, but to the entire army. After capturing the the town of Lovech on September 3, 1877, he propared for the aseault on Plevna on September 11, 1877, Sword in hand, at the head of his troops, he led the charge and swept over three lines of fortifications only to lose them again after torrible canage, But persevering in the assault, he finally, on the 10th of September, entered Plevna in triumph. At the close of tho Turkish war, in the spring he was sont agaiust the Teke-Turco mans—‘‘the Devils of the Desert.” The campnign was a difficult and se- vere one, but he carried his army to the walls cf Geok-Tepe and entrenched it then on New Years day, 1881. On the 24th of January, 1881, he captured that important Asiatio fortress and the Teke-Turkomans were subdued. This victory placed Russia atthe gates of India and threatencd the integrity of the English empire in the east. The eminent services gave kim a com- manding place in che confidenco of the emperor, and when the relations of Russia with Germany were disturbed by complications of European diplo- macy, BKODEN wag entrasted with e delicate charge of sounding the French government. In that capacity, however, his ardent temper got the better of his judgment and accustomed to the candor of the camp he furgot the tricks of the diplo- mat. He talked foo much and said too much when he talked. His ad- dresses to the students and his officers gave Europe a clue to the designs of Russia and created wide spread alarm, Alexander recalled him and in high displeasuro sent him iuto coventry. He soon forgave the gallant veteran and bad just entrusted him with another important mission when death met him on the threshold and he died as he had lived with the umform of his country and the harness of his profession on his back. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. When King Kalakaua made his voyage around the world his main object was to discover where he could replacs the constantly decreasing number of his subjects, The Sand- wich Islanders are gradually dying out, and immigration from abroad,is the only hope King Kalakaua has for leaving to his successor a peoplo as woll us & kingdom. During the past two years the Hawaiian dragnet has landed 2,912 immigrants. Of these 895 were South Sea Islanders, 1,130 were Portuguese, 612 were Norwe- gians and 128 were Germans, These immigrants cost the government, per head, as follows: South Sea Island- ors, $40.80; Portuguese, $20.20; Nor- wegians, §15, and Germans, $17.60 It will bo obsorved that the South Sea should be conducted squarely on busi- ness principles. This exhibit show: decrease in the general debt of 812, 560,606.70. Add to this the cash on hand in the treasury vaults of $149,. 123,654.30, and there has been a re- duction of §1561,684,351, This is not an unfavorable condition of the finan- ces, It is not likely that the incom- ing fiecal year, from June 30, 1882, to June 30, 1885, will make such a clean manifest. The internal revenue tax list has been cut down by about $20,- 000,000, and congress has increased the expenses in many items which will reach nearly $30,000,000. The re- building of the navy, the pension ar- rears and the river and harbor bill bave made a desperate pull at Uncle Baw's pocket, and the demands of the outstanding obligations tend to lessen the chances of the next showing, The stereotyped excuse for extravagance is that the country is growing so rap- idly that the expenditure grows in like ratio, but the reply is plain,that the greater the increase the larger the income from taxation. Indeed the publie condition would not be healthy if that increase in population and re- sources did not pay its own expenses with & handsome profit to the govern. went, Islanders are a costly breed, the ex- pense of these docile and harmless people being more than twice as much per head as any other race. ‘This is accounted for in the report of the immigration board by the statement that two vessels engaged in catching and importing South Sea Islanders were lost at sea. By way of contrast, it may be said that we imported 1,191 South Sea Islanders during the year 1881, the actual cost of the same be- ing 0. It must be conceded that Kalakaua's laborious efforts to keep his kingdom in good repair, so that his successor shall have a people as well asa crown, are somewhat dis- couraging as to results, The Panama canal project has called forth a statement from ex-Secretary Thompson of the navy, contradicting the stories of the failure of the pro- jeoted line. Mr. Thompson says these falsehoods are circulated by the ship railroad and Nicaragua canal men to influence men against the De Lessops scheme. According to Mr. Thompson, the company has already done a tremendous amount of work, considering the time they have been at it, and that the canal is sure to be built, “the Monrce doctrine to the P — contrary.” This labor been chiefly in importing matetial and ma- chinery and food, building houses and a hospital, making drawings of the route, and clearing the surface, A San Francieco firm, he says, has con- tracted to excavate 7,800,000 cubic yards, and a New York company has agreed to dig as much more, The ex- secretary lauds the Frenchmen and Germans as thrifty, ceutious, fore- handed men, and says they never make financial blunders, a8 The situation in Egypt remains very critical, Arrangemonts for equipping and placing in the field a formidable force aro progressing in England, Ad- ditional war'ships have been ordered to prepare for sea. Troops are bei gradually pushed forward to Alexan- dria and Malta. There is a disagree- ment in the esnference a8 to the ad- visability of a Turkish occupation of Egypt, and an early adjournment of the conference is predicted. In Paris an Anglo-Franco-Greco-Ttalian infor- vention is foreshadowed. Ragheb Pasha declares he will oppose Turkish intorvention by force, Arabi has found himeelf rather effectively checked in the citadel of his supposed strength, The ministry furbished up after the massacre, and, supposed to be his own creatures, refuse to sanc- tion his proposal for a levy en masse, 1f they hold out in -their opposition, the khedive may be able to settle his troubles without intervention. Mean- time it is asserted that Gen. Stone, who reorganized the army under the late khedive, has thrown in his for- tunes with the disaffected group, who, under pretense of patriotism, clamor for war upon the forcigners, The suspension of the Irish mem- bers was a very stupid blunder. What Gladstone's party gained in the scan- dalous outrage upon parliamentary right will be more than offset by the painfully aggravated hostility aroused against the modified repression bill in Ireland. Twenty-four hours were gained by the suspension of the Irish deputies, but tho government could well afford weeks, if the bill finally emerged in a shape that would make it a measure of real force in the die- contented countios. Such an applica- tion of methods, questionable at best, a8 the Irish members have been sub- ject to, would mot be surprising in Germany and Frauce, where passion and casterule Jegislative assemblies, but in England it makes a man fancy hiwself reading events under Charles I, James IL. or the Gieorges. The tactics of monopolists are the «ama the world over. At Sheerness a public auction was hela 188t montn, av which the tolls of Sheerness pier were offered for hire for three years to tho highest bidder. Great interest was manifested in the sale, as it was un- dersto6d that a certain local railrond wanted to get hold of the property. Among those who attended was an alderman from London, who was act- ing in behalf of the Southeastcrn rail- road company, and had come from Germany to attend the sale. The auction began and one gontleman offered §1,500, and proceeded to write out a check for the deposit of $2,600 43 a guaranteo ot good faith, when he was told that the deposit must be in gold coin, Upon hearing this he de- clared that it was & made-up sale and left the room. The alderman ex- pressed his disgust in a similar man- uer, stating that although the sale had been advertised for some time the conditions of the sale had not been known until the day of the sale. The only person in theroom preparod to pay the $2,600 in hard cash was a resident of Sheerness, who acted as agont for the London, Chatham & Dover rail- way company, and he became the pur- chaser of the pier tolls for $4,025 per annum, The Russian government is pursuing the nihilists with unrelenting energy. Arrests at Odessa, at Moscow and at St. Petersburg follow one another in awift succession, The recent arrests on the island in the Neva have been succeeded by the apprehension of a young man of 26, in a forest border- ing the river, who was connected with a most extraordinary scheme, it being unone other than the capture of the line of torpedoes which the govern- ment has stretched along the coast to prevent the close approach of hostile vossels, These the aihilists wished to capture, that they might use them in the destruction of the czar himself, When the last conspirator was discoy- ered ho showed no lack of courafl, and though he was entirely sur- rounded, fired repeatedly on his pur- sucrs, He was at last captured by the cutting down of the tree in which he had taken refuge. The arrests upon the island, with those made with- in the last month, will swell the list to nearly a hundred. Up to this time the advantago re- mains with the government. Since the murder of Alexander 11, the nihi- lists have made many threats, but have accomplished little beyond keep- ing the czar a recluse at Gatschina and having the ceremony of coronation postponed for a year, or, perhaps, in. dnl"ituly. A hundred of their chief men can poorly be spared from their seoret roll, which can at most include but & few thousand names. The efforts to proselyte the peasantry have, according to the latest authoritios, been positively without effect. The dafection of half a dozen officers from among ttenty thousand cannot be considered very significant. The no- bles who are drawn into the nihiiist ranks are usually those who were im- poverished when the serfs were liber- ated. The rest are men and women who have escaped from Siberia, male and female students, persons who have lost their property, men of unbalanced minds, with now and then a man of fine instincts and noble character, who sees the real misfortunes of his country, and would be glad to seo them relieved. That there are woes to be righted and wrongs to be redressed no one can doubt who has read Russian history, even super- ficially, or who has casually tollswed the course of recent events as they have had currency in the newspapers, As to the final result of the struggle between the nihilists and the govern- ment thore can be little question. On oue side aro several thcusand desper- ate men working secretly, On the other is & standing army of 800,000 men, with few excep- tions loyally disposed, and a polico numbering many thousands, whose ways of working aro as dark, desperato and far-reaching as those of the nihil- ists themselves. For every nihilist in Russia thereare probably half a dozen policomen, and how shrewd they are becoming by long experience in this service is illustrated by the fact stated a fow drys ago that an srmy officer, who had just before joined the order, was often driven to and from the place of meeting by a policeman in the dis- guise of an ordinary driver. The St. Petersburg gensdarmerie seem no longer to bo the stupid fools they have been painted by French novelists and British travele.s. It then becomes a question of en- durance on the part of the handful of men who oppose the government—a quostion of the length of time they can stand hanging, shooting, imprison- ment er deportation to the wilds of Siberia. It has been said that the blood of the martyrs is the seed in the church. Under the stress of religious ideas, a religion called heretical has been known to spread and flourish in some instances. Reference to history shows, however, that persecution, taking brief epochs as illustrations, has oftener prevailed than failed of suc- cess. The Lollards and Wickliffites were entirely destroyed. So were the Waldenses and Albigenses. The Thirty Years’ War changed Bohemia cntirely from the Protestant to the Catholic faith, while owing to persecution and the inquisition, Pro- teatantism was totally destroyed or completely subjugated in Spain, France and Italy. Some hundreas of years after Loyola and Saint Bar. tholomew there was an abundant crop of liberaliam, but it afforded no con- solation to the millions who have been privately put to death or slain by war or famine in the progress of long and brutal religiovs wars., The nihilist is not a religioniat, and hardly so ambi- tious to play the role of a martyr. So far there has been a good deal of heroism shown by members of the Order, but it scems impossible that it should continue indefinitely, Accord: ¢ to a Dublin dispatch there aro 1580 Americans in that city who have no visible occupation. If their business is to worry John Bull thoy are evidently doing their work well. Mz, VALEN s late clerk, who has just returned to Omaha, wants it understood that Brigadier General Alexander is no way implicated him- self, nor Congressman Valentine, in attaching the seal of Nebraska and his official name as sccrotary of state to a fraudulent certificate. We are agsured moreover that the val- iant warrior has explained this peculiar transaction to the satisfac tion of the judiciary committee, Thi, may or may not be true, but the peo- ple of Nebraska have a right to demand why Alexander should sign any fraudulent certificate and trans- wit the same to congress, when ho knew the objeot was to deceive and mislead, Does the brave brigadier with two salarios plead the baby act? Did he not know when he signod that document, purporting to be a copy of the census returns officially made in 1872, when, in fact, he knew 1t to be the census returns for 18747 Does Valentine pretend that he did not know these documents to be fraudulent! Was he so ignorant about the population of Nebraska as not to know the difference! Will any respectable man in Nebraska condone such an infamous transaction? Tug committee called for by Sena- tor Vorhees to report what percent- age of Union soldiors are employed in the public service by congress, shows, among other things, that Indiana has nine employes under the sergeant-at- arms of the senate and only- one of these j# & Union soldier, and he only a laborer. Rough on Vorhees. The average is about 50 per cent., with here and there a confederate soldier crowded, The people of Rochester are very pecu. linr nn\l not very agreeable in their habif if we may trust what oue of their own y pers says of thew. They ate not culy “tooth-brush borrowers,” but worse—they “ithrust their hands into the water-pitcher after the ice * However, there’s one con- solation, They are not big fools enough to thrust their binds into the pitcher after the water. ALECK OF GEORGIA. Politics make strange bedfellows, Napoleon once said politics is the science of making the most out of present circumstances for the public good. In Georgia we fird'Bob Tombs, who says he don’t belong to the United States, enthusiastically sup- porting his old antipode, Alexander Stephens, because, ho says, “‘Aleck never stole anything,” and if there is a man who knows how to run politics a la Napoleon it is that same *‘Aleck.” A great union man with a big union speoch running in a paralytic dribble out of hismouth at Augusta, he became vice president of the confederacy be- fore he finished it. Then he quarrel- od with Jeff Dayis. Then ho was for unionagain, then he winked and blink- ed at the ku klux, then he denounced them, <hen he got the republican vote and went o congross where huge re- publican statesmen danced attendance on his animated corpse and hung like insolvent barnacles to his withered underlip. Then he swung round the circle, riding two horses, exhibiting grand and lofty tumbling, while hob- bling on a stick and puiling his foot out of the grave. Now he is back once more, a red hot democrat, so straight that you could run a lightning rod up his back bone. Well, ‘*Aleck” Stephens has been fooliug with death and sold him clean out any time these sixty years ana old Charon has been standing on this side of the styx, whit- tling and whistling and waiting, until he saw Aleck start over again to run for governor, when he Ieft—but “‘Aleck” can pull himself over when he gets ready, particularly if he never stole anything and Bob Tombs sup- ports him, PEPPKMRMINT DROPS, 1f the Chicago papers are to be belioved the grip car is more dreaded in that city than the small pox, Forty dollars’ worth of flowers were laid on the coffia of a man at Augusta, Me., whose death was hastened by starvation.

Such zeal will certainly be rewarded, Florida bas grown an onion as big as a No. 7 straw hat, and it is_figured that it would rceat the breaths of 175 people for twenty-four hours, Might as well grow for a crowd as for half a dozen, Honest, straight-forward, old-fashioned apple “sass” is & mixture of the past and will be een no mote. You can’t get the color with avaporated apples, and the patent machines throw out all the seeds, A New York policeman who clubbed a pedestrian sixteen years ago was not for- gotten, The two met in Oregon the other day, and this time the tables were turned and the policeman was left for dead, A man was shot in a gambling hell in Richmond one Sunday night recently, and by that the jolicemen found there was a gambling hell in Richmond. Strangers are much qu cker to bud out such things than the local plice. The Philadelphia Times has interviewed & traveling barber who makes an average of ) per week.
