THE AN1I-MONOPOLY LEAGUE OrxtrAL Criy, August 14, The State Anti-Monopoly leagne will mect at Hastings, September 27, 1882, in connection with the State Farmers’ alliance, for the purposs of putting before the voters of the state of Nebraska an independent state anti-monopoly ticket. All anti-mo- nopoly lesgues are requested to call special meetings to elect delegatea to attend the convention. By order of the executive com- mittee, H. C. OsTERHOUT, Pes.

Arbor Day has given a strong impetus to this important work of creating forests in Nebraska, RELIABLE estimates give Nebraska a corn crop varying from fifty to fifty five bushels to the acre, while the whoat harvest is panning cut an average of twenty two bushels throughout the state.

Rerorts of the prevalence of Asiatic cho'era at Yokohoma and Manilla, with isolated cases in Europe direct attention to the fact that the coming year will complete the term of seven- teen years since the Jast cholera epi- demic of 1866. Just seventeen years previous, tn 1840, occurred a great epidemic of the disease, and this in turn was preceded by the visitation of 1832, Whether cholera is likely to surike this country next year or not oanuot be predicted, but it is certain that the surest preventives of the dis oase are cleanly cities and attention to the most simplo and essential sanitary rules, —_— New Youk, with an assessed real estato valuation of over one billion dollars has a tax rate of $2.25 per hundred dollars, The local press in commentiog upon this fact notes that for the first time in thirtoen years the city has been honestly assessed and points to the gross frauds in assess meut which were perpotrated under the ring regime. It was one of the methods of the Tweed government to systematically undervalue the real property and by this means to maintain o high rate of interest on the bonds issued by the city Unfatr assessments of property are responeible for the high tax rates ex- isting in a number of our cities, It is a favorite delusion that low assess- ments and high tax levies are more profitable to municipalities than a fu r valuation and a correspondingly low tax rale, The reverse is the case. It is @ fact that in cases where asscssors fail to perform their duty and make a lower rating than the law requires, the poor suffer heavily in comparison with men of wealth, Cottages are in- variably asseased nigher proportionally than the residences of tho rich, and the men of mcans are in ihis way enabled to shick their share of the burdens of taxation, s addition, a high tax rate which it fails to deceive citizens as to the actual pe- cuniary condition and responsibility of the city very often acts to the detri- ment of the city in frightening away foreign investors who know nothing of the low basis of valaation upon which the levy isma’e If the large awount of corporation property in its city were assessed at jone-third of this real value Omaha’s tax rate would experience a drop which would be a genuine surprise to the oldest resi- dent, Gexerar interest will be excited this month by the international con- fit to unite in opposirg his candidacy at the caucus and the primary he could hardly have carried a county. Bat all classes of voters who are op- posed to the dictation of the railroads and their tools will have their issues this fall if the republican party fails to voice the popular sentiment. The Novemnber election will be the final test of the popularity of the political shysters and acrobats whom the cor- porations are trying to force down the throats of the people of this state. It the republican party wishes to court defeat they are adopting the means best fit- ted to secure that result in permitting tests in which the Wnited States will be represented. There is the great rifle match on September 14th and 15th, between a team of twelve, rep- resenting the British volunteers and a like team from the national guards. men of the United States, The match' will take place at Creedmoor, where the American team are hard at work rolling up surprising scores, The other contest referred to is the four- oared race between the Hillsdale crew and the Thames crow of London, representing the amateur oarsmen of England, which is also looked for the 14th and 15th of September. The shabby manner in which the Hillsdales have been treated across the water has won them universal sympathy and support, and there will bea very lively sense of satisfaction experienced if they succeed in beating the aristocratic snobs who declined to row with them because they were not ‘‘gentlemen” in the English sense of the word. In both of the ma‘ches the English representatives are skill- ful and plucky. It will take hard work to defeat them, but hard work has defeated English marksmen and oarsmen before, and there is good reason to believe it will do s in the present instances. Ir is a favorite boast of the railroad strikers that a republican nomination will be equivalent to an election in any of the threo congressional dis- tricts, This remains to be seen. Re- publican voters in Nebraska are wot such slaves to party machinery that they will endorse the nomina- tions of notoriously corrupt politicians, simply because party bosses command them to doso. There aro thoueands f honest men who care move for the welfare of the stato and the cause of good government than they do for the personal aggrandize- ment of disreputable local party laaders, Ocher things being equal, ovory Nebraska republican will prefor to support the nominee of his party. but party lines will set verv lightly over tho backs of the votors in the prosent campaign, and will be cast mide by thousands the moment they are convinced that the party name is used only as a mask behind which the monopolies expects to foist their tools into offises of prefit and trust, Tue advance in Exypt promised in Saturday’s dispatches was not made, and instead of further gencral er- ments wo now hear rumors of seances in force against Side by side with that the Egyplian or than General Wolse- ley, as first imagined comes nows that add: more reconnc Arabi's fore theeo evidences army i st ial troops and guns are at once to he dispatched to the seat of war, and that Sir Garnet’s forces are to be reinforced with a suflicient number of new soldiers to recruit his army up to a standard of 22,000 men. When it is borne in mind that this large force is independent of the 7,600 natives, comprising the Indian contigent and the men undor General Allison at Arexandria, it will readily be seen that the Egyptian rebel and his command are considered no mean enemies by the war offico, whatover may be the opinion of the comanding genoral Meantimo, while Sir Garnet is advanc- ing ot the slow rate of a little less than two milesa day, Arabi is strength- ening his position at Damanhour and Tel-El-Kebin, by successive lines of entrenchmonts which imust be earricd one after the other before he can be dislodged, The engagement at Kas- sarin Look a week ago, showed that this species of warfare is costly, In that skirmieh tho British lost 120 men, while the Egyptian force were driven back a Yittla more than four miles, No vear has been more favorsble for tho railroad politicians to pack caucuses and conveutions than this one. Thousauds of anti-monopolists in the state stay away from the repub- lican primaries; bolieying it to be in- cousistent to participate in two con- ventions, and their strong anti-mon- opoly feeling will not permit them to desert the new party. This no doubt explains why Valontine has carried so wmany conventions, and is seemingly 80 popular in thr Third district. The true contest will be at the polls, Con- ventions this year do not voice the sentiment of the voters, and the num- ber of republican candidates who wiil be defeated at the polls will be greater than ever befure.—Grafton Guzette, There is a great deal of frozen truth in this statement, The action of the Alliance in calling & state nominating convention has withdrawn the great wass of anti-monopoly republicans from republican caucuses, primaries aud conventions. This was notably tho case in the Third distriet, Open opposition to Valentine has come from republicans outside of the ranks of the Alliance and anti-monopoly league, Had both of these organizations seen the party machinery to fall into the hands ot the element in which the mass of the party has the least con- fidence, The voters of the state pro- poso to submit no longer to the arro- gant dictation of the railroad ring- masters, and any attempt to whip them into submission will be met by independent action vigorous enough to show that a perverted party ma- chinery cannot stifle public sentiment when the people are determined to govern themselves. ARKANSAS, Maine and Vermont hold elections this month, The last two states elect a full state and con- gressional ticket while in Arkansas Congressmen will nct be clected until October, At the election which took place yesterday in Arkansas threc tickets tor state officers were in the field, the several candidates for gov- ernor being: Republican, W. 8. Slack; democratic, James H. Berry; greenback, R. M. Garland. The legislature chosen will elect a United Statos senator. §To-day Vermont holds her general election at which a gover- nor, lieutenant-governor, state treasur- er, legislature and two repreasentatives in congress will bo chosen. The re- publicans have nominated John L. Barstow, for governor, the democrats, George E. Eaton, and the greenback- ers C. C, Martin, For congress the republicans have nominated John W, Stewart and Luke Poland, the demo- crats, Lyman Redington and George L. Fletcher, and the greenbackers, Dr. Kidder and H. D. Dunbar. Ver- mont loses one member under the new apportionment. The entire republi- can ticket will be elected by a solid majority. Tue political situation in Virginia is decidedly mixed, Senator Mahone has already enjoyed his casiest days of boss-ship. The revolt of our sen- ators prevented the adoption by the legislature of the elaborate gerryman- der which Makone had devised, has been followed by other and equally important defections. Massey, the ex-auditor, one of the men who sot Mahone on his pedestal, broke away and bocame the democratic candidate for congressmun-at-large, against John 8. Wise. A straghtout repub- lican candidate for the same place appoared, KRev. Mr. Daw- sou, a colorcd man, who is expected to receive some part at least of the colored republican support—all of which Mahone's necessitics require, 1f he is to be successful, Next, the two republican represontatives in congress, Jorgoneen and Dezendorf, are running for ro-olection, notwithstanding that Mahone has placed other candidates in the ficld in their districts, And finally, in the Ninth district, Fulker- son, one of the ‘‘readjusters” in the present house of representatives, has come out independently, renouncing allegieuco to Mahone, and defying him and all his powers, Fulkerson is an energetic leader, and will give the ““boes" a lively struggle, Altogether, it is very evident that nothing preserves Mahone's power but his control of the United States offi- cials in Virginia, This ‘‘patronage,’ President Arthur, following an agree- ment arranged between Senators Cam eron, Logan and Mahone, has placed unreservedly in the Virginian's hands, as he has given the like ‘‘patronage” in Pennsylvania into the hauds of Mr Cameron, With all this patronage Mahone is still unable to control the politics of Virginia, Oug city schools opened yesterday with a large attendance, There aro few changes in the staff of teache ewmployed, but a new superintendent in the person of Mr, James has taken the place vacated by Mr. Lane. Patrons of our public schools have goed reason to expect some radical changes in our school management under Mi. James' supervision, His long experience n Cleveland, from which city he oemes with the most unqualified endorsc- ments as a gentleman sud pudlic edu cator, is the best guarantee of b qualifications for the new position which he has assumed, and our people will very readily grant him that confi- dence which has been more or less withheld from his predecessors, rs SEVERAL of our prominent candi dates for state offices have suddenly withdrawn Other important busi- ness engagements prevent them from allowing a further use of their names. Rumons of General Sherman’s in- tended retirement are decidedly pre- mature, The compulsory retirement act fixes the age at which ofticers can retire at 64, General SBherman will uot have reached that age until Fob ruary 8, 1884, Under the old retiring act, no retirement can be made until the number on the present retired list falls below 400. As there are at present 420 on the list, it will be scen that the generals chances for retire- ment, according to its provisions, are very slight. —_— Ir will take a much abler man than John M.

BLAINE'S HOME How He Lives and Works at Augusta ~Remimscences of a Busy Life, Col, Lurr in Philade'phia I're From the railroad stacion down near the river to the place on the hill, is something more than a mile. I found my way to the pleasant spot this even- ing, and was cordially received by ite proprietor. There is nothing showy inside the house more than on the outside. Everything is arranged for comfort rather than display. Parlor, drawing, library, are all fitted and filled as unpretentiously as though the man who owned them was the village lawyer, or perchance preacher The townfolk tell me that it was built many years ago, before the landlord was the great man he now is, and that he loves to keep it and its surround ings as they were when he made it hie home all the year round. Mr. Blaine had just come in from a drive when I called. He spends & good part of each afternoon ‘‘on the road” behind a span of fine horses. 1 never saw him look in better health, and certainly he never seemed in bet- ter apirits, ““Yes,” said he cheerfully, when 1 suggested his prime condition; ““I am in excollent health; the climate of Maine always agrees with me. I can recuperate here faster than anywhere else in the world.” The talk then urned upon general topics, and Mr, Blaine spoke with much freedom upor everything else except politics. He evinced great interest in the contes: in Maino, and that he should begin his work in it at Portland ou Monday night. He believes tha: the republicans will carry the atate by a fair majority, He will take no pari in politics this year, except in his own state, and has nothing but a speaking part there; as he is not on the state commiitee, and has no part in the management ot the campaign. T had scen Mr. Blaine many times before to- night in the same surroundings. No, not in the same surroundings, for then he was overwhelmed with the work of a political campaign, The little office back of the parlor, his private work room, was then the scene of busy bustle. Clerks wero at work, telegraph messengers were coming and going, men were calling by scores, aud with his hand on the party helm he directed it with matchless force. Now there is none of this, ‘The office is quiet and does not wear the air of pol- itics. Headquarters have been moved to Portlaud, and Senator Frye has his hand on the party plow. Blaine seems to enjoy the change, strange as it may seemn. He speaks well of his young_successors and believes they will win, No mun in this country has ever be- fore atepped from the highest place in active politics into the walks of pri- vate hife without losing his temper on the way. Mr. Blaine evidently has not. There isn't a sign of regrot or re- proach in his speech or actions, He has no hard words for those men wh have stood between him aud the pros- idency. He seems to have settled down toenjoy life and to do his du'y by the party that has honored him as he has houored i, as it shall bo asked of him The loss of the presidency soured Clay as it did Seward, but Mr. Blain certainly presents to friend and fou wike perfect good humor and a fai more cheerful view of the future tha many public men who have lost much 1 088, While talking with him to-night, al- most in the shadow of the state house, where he began life in Augusta as u newspaper reporter, I couldn’t hel; but wonder if many people ever stopped to think how he started in )ife, and what & great structure he had built from a small beginning, I re- wember going through the state once when he talked freely of his ear'y Iifo in Augusta, Entering the littl dingy senate chamber, where the up per house of the Maine legislature has met for very many years, he pointec to an old fashioned ~ desk, nearly 1 front of the presiding officer’s seat, and said: “‘There is where T bogan newspaper life, ¥ reported the procecdings of the senate for the Kenncbee Journal sev- oral terms. It was a great school for me, Iused to educate my memory on oneso young. I wasonly twenty- six.

Everything on both sides moves along as smooth as a kitchen clock. They have got & crop of half- hreeds here that are making a great deal of nowe, but are without strength.

The Fearful Fire of the Night of September 5th, 1878, The Anniversary of the Grand Central Conflagration. A Review of the Dreadful Occure rences of Four Years Ago. It was the intention of the managers of thenew Paxton hotel to have opened the elegant building to-day for the a:commodation of the traveling public, that being the fourth anniver- sary of the burning of the Grand Cen. tral, which occupied the same site upon which the Paxton is built and was the most elegant hotel Omaha ever had, itself, these grim iron and wooden overcoats were rattled away side by side with jumping jacks and other toys from the (foodrich stock. By this time he fire was under fall the roof, a great cloud of dense black smoke, studded with sparkling cinders as thickly as the heavens were with stars, rose toa great height, and was carried by a current of air to the northwest, dropping BLAZING MEMENTORS along its pathway, on sidewalk, roof and street, for miles away. In the midst of the grim darkness the holo- caust offered aspectacle that for scenic effect was traly magnificent, and tens of thousands, in fact nearly every one in the city, witnessed it, the streets being crowded for blocks 1n every di rection. The fire department was reinforced by the Durants and by an engioe from Couneil Bluffs seut over in re- sponse to a telegram from Mayor Wilbar, but ALL THAT COULD RE DONE was to blockade the further spread of the conflagration. The net work of telegraph wires in front of the burn- ing bulding was melted or broken by tho weight of rich Brussels and tapestry carpots, hurled from the up- per stories, the splendid furniture of the building often following by the same insecure route, Telegraph com- munication with the cast was de- stroyed entirely, and two morning (a- pers were both worked off at a great disadvantage in the Republican «filce. Between 12 and 1 o'clock the cli- max of this NIGHT OF TERROR wasreached when the north wing of the dining room fell with a terrible crash to the floor below, just back of the of- fice, carrying with it four members of the fire department, who had refused to profit by the warning of their com- rades, who had a'ready retreated to a place of safety. The names of these four men are still fresh in the minis The opening has, however, beeu postponed until Saturday, but it will be interesting to our readers, and ap propriate at this time to recall some of the exciting events of the dreadful night of September 5, 1878. At a quarter to seven o’clock on that even- ing A GENERAL ALARM was sounded, which brought out the of every one. They were Lon Ran- dall, William McNamara, Louis Wit- son and John Lee. At the time that the accident happened they with oth- ers were on the dining room floor nearly over the oftice, handling the hose and directing a stream of water. Suddenly the north wall of the room fell,and carrying everything before it, drove with a great crash to the floor below. Those who etill lingered in the broad halls and corridors on the entire fire department, The location of the fire waggfound tobe in the Mansard roof of the Grand Central, corner of Fifteenth and Farnam streets, At first only a thin cloud of «moke was seen issuiug from one of the windcws and curling its way up- ward in the air, It was a beautiful, clear night with ecarcely a breath ot wind and there was not the faintest doubt upon the part of those who soon gathered 1in great numbers at the spot that the fire department would suc- ceed in a short time in extingishing the flames, As to the origin of the fire, there seema to be little doubt but that 1t came from a candle left burning by & plusterer, who was at work in the ele- vator shatt, and who went to his sup per about 6 in the evening. The can- dle burned down in its socket and then the fire being communicated to some shavings near by, or to soms of the light packing material about the uew furniture temporarily stored in the attic, started THE TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION, This theory was confirmed by the story of Sergeant Dull, of the signal office, who was taking his supper at & resteurant when the alarm eounded. A young plasterir, who was taking supper at the same timo, jumped up and exclaimed: “My Goi' That is my fault, 1 forgot and left the cau- dlv burnii g.” The entire fice department was soon on the spot but owing to some 1is- ianagement the hose were filled be fore they were carricd up the grand stairway, when it was found aimost Twpoesible to drag their dreadful eight to the third story. There was he utmot coufusion, aud from thy great corridors below to the Mansard story wero men ruuning 10 and fro «mid the stores of rich furniture, car- jeta and other equipments then being jutin and A DFLUGE OF WATER was pourning down the stairway with the rushing noise of a mountamn tor- rent, The flames gained sirength most rapidly in the elevator shiaft uud those who looked upward through it from the doorway on the first lior, saw the fiorce aud tiery waves Jashiog with fury from top to bottom, the araught natu- rally afforded to such a portion of the building acting a8 a bellows to fan the couflagration to redoubled force. It was like a small scetion of the infernal regions aud out 1 the courtand corri- dorg A REGULAR PURGATORY was illustra: Au length several streaius of water were ¢t on from the hird story aud for time it was tiought the tire was under control, be 10y extinguished everywhere except in he Muusard, Thero the flunes urad- aally spread antil the whole rocf, cov- cring ® space 132 foet square, was in those days by keeping the roll call on ouo or more bills in wy mind, and not writing them out until atier 1 went home. I got so I could re member as high as five separate votes on differeut bills, and then write them out hours afier they were wiven, so to agree with the official list of the clerk of the senate.” H . re was the secret of Mr. Blaine's ability, 80 often remarked to always have at hand numes of persons and events he desire to call. The hali of the house of delegates was tho next object of interest, and there, above the clerk’s desk, was the same old chair in which Mr, Blaive sat when he was speaker of the Mai e house of representatives many years ago. He looked over the room so clcsely connecied with his first step in public life, and where he gathered the rudiments of partiamentary law, of which he afterwards be- came the master. He spoke of the men who were there and great when | he begun, and turning to the speaker’s desk, s 11 to recall his felling the day he was elected to fill it, said: “When I was elected speaker of the | legislature I fo.t prouder over it than | over any office to which I have since been called or could be elected to fill, | 1t was a great honor to be conferred iblaze, anud a pilar of the blackeat s ke huog liks a pall over the beau- wal building, whieh it now. became wvident was doomed to total destruc- tion, To add to the complications the wa ter gave out an hour after the fire started, and hod to be pumped from distant cisterns.

These were the only fatal casualties of the night although quite a number were hurt more or less seriously. Among these were Max Meyer, Heory Lockfeldt, Joseph Sheeley, Al Hartry, Billy Galligan, Louis Fuist and Chas. Joannes. All night long the fire raged wich unabated fury until there was nothing left for it to feed upon. One by one the walls CRUMBLED AND FELL, until at b o’clock in the morning only a few of the iron pillars and the great brick chimney were left to mark the spot where the magnificent building had stood, and an hour later the latter fell, nearly burying in the ruins those who were searching for the re- mains of the dead. The criminal carelesaness of one man had cost the city the lives of four brave men, and i's finest building and given it a set- back that 1t has taken four years to overcome, A medicine of real merit, prescribed by leading physicians, and universaily reccommended by those who have nsed it, asa true tonic is, Brown's Tron Bisters, A New Overlard Line. San Franclsco Chronicls, The Boston capitalists who the stock of the Chicago, Burlington and Quiney raitroad, which now has a line to Danver, aro said to be negotiating with the Central Pacifl: respecting an overland line which ghall be indepen- dent of the Union Pacifie, The antip athy botween the owners of the Union Pacific and those of the Chicago, Bur- lington & () sincy is of long standing, and the latter have been for some time threatening to build through to this ci'y. Hence the efforta of the owners of the Central Pacitic to meet them or stand them off. Should the latter build through Southern Novada to meet the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy m_Southern Utah, it would control four overland lines - the Southern Pacilic, the Atlantic & Pa- aific, the Central Pucific and their new midland line. Were ever avarics greed and thirst for power better ox. enplifiec! The statement may, howoever, ~ mean nothing more than that the owners of onr pot monopoly are diplomasting, The Union Pacific and Atchison, To- peka and Sunta Fo are both dissatis- fied with the overboaring way in which the Central Pucific s conduct ing its business. The first considers itself ill-treated in the partition of overland freight, and has sent & print- ed circular to merchants in this- city asking for information regirding al. laged over charges and offuring relief, Che Boston negotiations may be simp Ly an attempt to frighten connecting lines 1to submission. From all this 1v appuars that the Central Pacific is the domineering member of an unliap- py family. 1Itis to be hoped that the Boswon capitalists will make no alli- auce with Mesars. Huntington & Co, lhey certainly would not if they had sorrowful knowledge of their dishon- est methods gained by the people of this coast from long experience.
