The political earth- quake extended from the Rockies to the Atlantic coast. Cheyenne wasn't half as badly shaken up as New York. 8r. Jonx ,is defeated for governor in Kansas, and prohibition has receiv- ed the blackest eye of theseason. One happy result of the late election will be to take the question of, sumptuary legislatiou forever out of our domi- nant political parties. — Maxy readers of Tte Bee in Iowa as well as elsewhere, will join 1t in congratulating Mr. Pusey over his election in the Ninth district. An- derson's disreptuable canvass, no less than his record as a railroad tool, lost him @ seat in congress. Mr, Pusey is & staunch anti-monopolists, a gentle- man of means who cannot be tempted by the corporation lobby, and a man of sufficient courage and ability to make his voico heard in congress on behalf of those reforms for which the people have spoken so loudly, Nearuy sixteen millions was takeu from the national debt last month, or at the rate of over $180,000,000 per aonum, It is high time that that re- duction should be limited to fifty mil- lions yearly. Our load of taxation is foolishly and unreasonably heavy. The superfluous taxes whioh obatruct our prosperity ought to be stricken off by congress, and future generations; for whose sake the debt was partly in- curred, should be allowed to share in the work of paying it off. Tug democrats have captured con- gres and will control legislation fdr at least two years to come. They gain two congressmen in Connecticut, three in Wisconsin, two in Jowa, one in New Jersey, and enough from other states to completeiy control the next national legislature, Itisa cheering and sifinificant fact that & large pro- portionof the defenders of the river and harbor steal have been rotired to pri- vate life by the people, and their places filled by men who at least are believed to be honestly willing to rep- resent the wishes of their constitu. enta,; ——— Bon INeewsoLL is out for Genoral Sherman as president in 1884, as the, only man upon whom all classes of re- publicans can unite. Whether Pope Bob's judgment is at fault in thie re- spect there can be no question thet he strikes the nail on the head when he attributes the republican defeat to the persistent refusal of the party to re- duce taxes, their insane craving after office, and their reckless extravagance in appropristions, Nothing but bitter lessons of defeat ocould bring these wholesome truths before the party bosses, and if they are appreciated and scted upon, the election of & republi- can prer'd at two years hence is not an imp.oeibility,. The republican [party, or iu her the party organization fsnow on the mourners bench, and its conversion to common sense and ac- cord with public sentiment ought to be the one result worthy of congratu. lation as flowing from the late election. GENERAL SHERMAN aND THE ARMY. Goneral Shorman’s suggestions re. garding the army, embodied in his annual report just published are prac- tieal and common sense. He advocates aa Increase of enlisted men to the number of 7,000 making the full army strongth 30,000, So long as onr soldiers are compelled to act as me- chanios and laborers in building and repairing frontior posts, making roads and erscting telegraph lines, the present force of enlisted men is insufficient for the duties which aro required of them. Another suggestion which affects Omaha as the military center of the depart- ment of the Platte is that frontier posts shall be consolidated and dur- able quarters, orscted for officers and men. This wes the policy advocated by General Crook when in command of the department, and which is also approved, as we understand, by Gen- eral Howard, The concentration of troops on the lines of railroad whence thoy can be quickly transferred to soenes of trouble calls for substantial garrisons at these ocentral posts, Omaha has been greatly neglected in the military appropriations, and the ramshackle quarters at Fort Omaha are a disgrace to s post of its size and lmportance. Forts Snelling and Leavenworth, the headquarters of the departments of Dakota and Missouri have been gen- erously treated through the energetic efforts of able congressional delega. tion, while Omaha and the depart- ment of the Platte have been forced to content themselves with crumbs. Forts Omaha, Sidney and Russell, all need a thorough rebuilding, the erection of solid and sub- stantial quarters for the garrison have become a military necessity. And when the much discussed ques- tlonof our department headquarters is settled it is to be hoped that pro- vistons will be made for the construc- tion of a buiiding which will be com- mensurate with the importance of the command, General Sherman congratulates the country that within the last year there has been a gratifying decrease in In- dian outbreaks, Arizona is quiet now, owing to the admirable tact of Crook, who is tagging and counting the Apaches, and all fears of trouble in any of the northern departments have substded. 1In general the discipline and condition of thearmy is excellent. Smeps should be taken at once to prevent in the future the disgraceful delay in oounting our city vote, Forty-eight hours after the election Omaha is still in tho dark as to who will constitute the delegation from Douglas county. More polling pre- cincts are needed in the first place. One for each ward is not enough. The polla aro' crowded during the election, and the restrictions regard- ing the count make the filling out of the tally sheet an all day and all night job. In a general election sep arate ballot boxes ought to be pro- vided for state legislature and local ballots. This in the plan adopted in New York, where the votes are counted every hour. In oconsequence the result of the election 1s always definttely known by midnight. Another much needed reform is in the direction of the employment of competent clerks of election. A large portion of the delay of last Tuesday’s count arose from the incompe- tency of some of the clerks. Neveral could scarcely write and a number had uot léarned simple addition. As a ConseqUONce A recount Was necessary in several of the wards, Long delayed election returns always arouse suspicions of tampering with the votes and ought to be avoided. ——e D. W. Marruews, postmaster at O'Nell, who has been doing Valen- tine's dirty work in Holt county, tele- graphs to the editor of Tuk Bk, “have you hoard from Holt ocounty? Yos we have heard that a gang of scroundels have contracted to make bogus returns in favor of Valentine from the Fort Niolrara reservation, asan cffiet to the honest voters of Holt county, whereby it is expeoted Valentine will be counted in for a third term, Matthews must have been drunk when he penned that tell- tale dispatch. He has opened his mouth and put his foot in it. If there is any justice in Nebrasks he and his cotfederates will ere long be assigned to duty in Bill Stout's stone quarry. Westery Nesiaska was flooded with bogus democratic tickets, with Valentiue's namo sandwiched botween the state officers, where the fraud could not be detocted, Hundreds of demoorats were thus imposed on and cheated out of their choice, Kven with these fraudulent votes counted for him, Valentine is defeated unless he can doctor the returns from the cow boy distriot, VA dida't carry the precinct he lives in, and his county gave Munger a handsome majority, This affords striking proof that those who know him best have no confidence in him, Tux next legislature will be callod upon to deal with important questions affecting the relations of the people aud the railroads, Chlef among these will be the reduction of fares and freight tarifis and the asressment of railrond property in accordance with some plan which will compel it to bear its due proportion of the bur- dens of taxation, In the time which must elapse before the opening of the legislative session Tue Bre will pre- sent to our legislators elect tome interesting aud instructive figures on the subjects referred to. Jupoe Foroer comes out of the New York canvass with clean hands. No one has doubted for a moment his integrity and ability. He was unfor- tunately forced into bad company by men in whom the public had no confi dence, In his defeat the people sought the overthrow of the Barney Biglins and the Steve Frenches, and the custom house politicians who have disgraced New York Republicans, New York's anti-monopoly league has carried the day against the rail- roads, The free canal amendment is adopted by a heavy majority. Now look for a drop in freight rates. From Daluth to the mouth of the Hudson there is a free water way open to all shippers, Ir may be more dosirable to have Tue BeE s opposition than its support, but the headstones in the political graveyard do not seem to sustain that idea. W:ere is Brad Slaughter and the ex-consu! of Chemnitz! Oan't they take charge of the returns and count Loran Clark in as state treasurer, PRESS COMMENT. Not Surprieing. Chicago Times. A year ago such a political revolu- tion as was consummated in this country Tuesday would have been considered impossible. To-day it ex- cites not even a ripple of surprise. Much has been done in the paat three months by the chiefs of the defeated party to convince the American peo- ple that, in the Interest of political morality and common public decency, a change was necessary. The effoct of that work will be almost universally accepted as in accordance with the eternal fitness of things, While it is true that democratic members of con- gross were no less guilty than the other party in forwarding the stu- pednous schemes of public robbery in- cluded in the acts of that body, the people determined that the repub- licans, controlling both houses and the executive, must be held responsi- ble for the oftenses which they had the absolute and uncontested power to prevent. A Republican Viotory, Denvor Tribune, It is a bad year for the bosses. 1t is a climax for the corrupt scoundrels who have stained with their cor- ruption the intentions and desires of decent and honest men, It i naisance of republicanism dominatfon of thieves and scoundrels who have stolen the party name to use as a mask for their own depravity. And it will stand in oar history as the year in which the great party of humanity, intelligence and progress shook off its vampires and arose to its old vigor and its old strength, The Roman Spirit. Plonecr Pross, For weeks past the real battle has been waged by republicans against re- publicans. It is the irrepressible con- flict of this age whose issue, long fore- told, is now upon us. The republican party is the party of moral ideas, of progress, and of reform, or it is worse than nothing; & mere stranded hulk, in whose useless boilers and roten timbers every sort of vermin may hide, and hasten the process of natural decay. If once given over to corrupt influences, to the management of leaders whose Ultima Thule is self- aggrandisement, it is like a lovely and virtuous woman gone astray. The depth to which it may fall is only measured by the helght to which it alone aspired to climb, And its members are determined in a holy purpose that it shall never come to this dishonor. Sooner than see it what iws inglorious oppo- nent has been, the prostitute of overy new-born heresy fitted to catch the votes of a day; the tool of design- lng men whose ambition knows no country, no party, no honor; the desecrated oraft of a piratical crew, flying the black flag of autocratio rule and official plunder, they will, with that subordination of personal affec- tion and attachment to public duty which has been apotheosized under the name of patriotism from im- memorial time, sacrifice it bravely yot tenderly; destroy it with their own hands, lest & fate more ignominious and more shaweful be its portion, It ls a pitiful sentiment that would not infliot present chastening to avert fu- ture disgrace. The spirit which ani- mates republicans to day is the spirit of the ancient Roman, who decreed the Icllenlh «:il hilzmn son tl‘nt the law might etand in its integrity, though bia’ hoart was broken and hia lifgs light went out in darkness at the act. Threatened Disintegration. New York Times, It will watter very little what the specific outcome of the. elections to- morrow may be—the figures of the majorities or the adjustment of nar- row advantages—the intelligent ob- server knows to-day as well as he can know on Wednesday :orning that this campaign has changed the condi- tions of political success for both snrt.iel; that each is threatened with isintegration in the communities where it has hitherto been strongest; that new questious are engaging the attention of the voters, which will make the old questions comparatively insignificens, and that of &: new questions the most important, the most formidable, from the politician’s stand-polnt, s the of parties and the way which thelr moral foroe has been repressed. The litical *‘probabilities” for the next wo years indicate decided change from every point of compass, and the shrewdest of the sig officers de- cli e to venture any predictions as to their effect, A PUTRID POOL.

FOLGER'S OPINON, In a convereation on political topics this morning, Secretary Folger ex- pressed the opinion that until the ex- isting breach is healed the republican party cannot consistently expect suc- cess at the polls. Judging from the tone of his remarks, the secretary never entertained the opinion of carry- ing New York. FALL'S BOND, In the police court this morning, Frank H. ?lll, charged with conspir- acy to corrupt jurymen in the star route trial, was placed under $4,000 bond to await the action of the grand jury. THE STAR ROUTE INIQUITY, The statement made public to-day, said to have been voluntarily made by Frank H. Fall, under oath, October 10th, begins by asserting that he ob- tained the impression from an inter- view with Brewster Camerom, June 14th, that the government desired to obtain evidence of the misconduct of the star route jury, past or future; he was engaged at 810 per day to ascer- tain if any members of the jury were corruptable; reported to Cameron every night; Jane 24th, talked with Thomas .i"oola; from information obtained from Richard T. Laws, con- cluded that Brown, a star route juror, was approachable, and told Foote mo; afterwards negotiated with Payne and Foote looking to se- curing control of Brown's vote; a compact was drawn contem%lning payiog 82,600 and presented to Brown by Payne, but the former refused to sign a paper, saying it was a detec- tive job; Brown, however, said he would do as wanted if paid $2 500, and would control juror Martin; Fall refused to pay the money witnout a contract was signed. Seeing by the newspapers that Brown had made an affidavit charging Payne with at- tempting to bribe him, Fall sought an interview. The statement that Brown offered to sell his vote to whosoever wanted it for $2.500 is a lie; Payne promised to make affidavit to this et- fect; Foote was then sought by Fall and his affi vl;’btninod; Foote want. ed $2,000 [fo” the affidavit; Foote finally te & letter addressed to Brady, Dorsey & Oo., demanding $1,000 before the affidavit would be delivered: Payne wanted $1,000 for an affidavit that should agree with Foote's; Detectives Richards and Mil- ler took Payne to Colonel Ingersoll's house on Sunday, October 18, and Colonel Ingersoll said the affidavits were wanted for the purpose of “‘downing” Attorney General Brew- mer, Cameron and Corkhill, all of whom would have to go when con- gress met and began the investigation of the star route business. It was agreed that Foota should make his affidavit and give it to Payne; that Payne should hold the affidavit until he made his own or until they got $1,000 which Miller demanded for his, but that Richards got possession of the affidavits and refused to give it up, Fall says, while in the emploo of the government, he spread the impression that he was working in the interest of the defense, and he autho.ized others to say so. The result was that Jobn G. Cox ap- Eranchsd. him repeatedly, and said he ad two jurors for sale, and whenever Fall yad money Cox was engaged to bring in his men. Richard T, Laws claimed that through Brown he brought about the disagreement of the jury. Law said he was employed by the defense to influence Brown, and he did so, FOLGER AT WORK, Secretary Folger resumed his duties at the treasury department to-day. In response to an inquiry of a repre. sentative of the press, the secretary said he was not yet prepared to say when he would issue another call for | bonds, but thought it probable, how- ever, that within a few days he will conclude to anticipate the payment of bonds embraced in the hundred and eighteenth call, which was issued Oc- tober 16, Becrotary Folger this afternoon di- rected the assistant treasurer at New York to redeem United States bonds which has been called in for redemp- tion, at the rate of $5,000,000 per week, THE LAND GRANT QURSTION. The lawyers of this been engaged to €: ine precedents and authorities, with a view of appeal- ing to the United States supreme court foran injanction to restrain the commissioner of the general land office from issuing any more patents to land grant railroads which have not comploted their road)]in accordaunce with the granting acts, and for the purpose of obtaining judicialaction on the entire question, to-day completed their appeal in conformity with the arrangement, sud mailed the same to New York, where it will be examined by the leaders of the anti-mouopol, league. The question is creating m: interest. LIFE SAVING APPARATTS, to send to London exposition, to be held iu May, an elaborate exhibi of American life saving apparatus. VIRE WATER VENDERS. The Indian buresu is informed by the agent at Tule River Agenoy, Cal. M.:nnlprfl-'hn 'mohrg«l with selling liquor to Indians, have been fined $100 and sentenced to jail forone year by Judge Hoffman. This is regarded an most encouraging by the department, as such offences have heretofore been difficult of punieh- ment. THE JEANNETTE WRECK, During the conclusion of Melville's story to-day he described the wreck- ing of the Jeannette and said, “It must have been about 11 o'clock at night when they left the ahip and took ap camp on tne ice. All hands had been paired off into messes. There wero about five tents, the messes con- sisting of about seven persons each, They had to change their quarters be- fore midnight. About 4 o’clock in the morning witness heard some men cry out ‘There she goes; take a look at her; this is the last chance you will ever have of seeing the old Jeannette.’ The ship then went down in about 38 fathoms of water, As long as the ice kept together the ship was all right, but when it parted she went down at once. Witness went out with DeLong and saw the remains of the wreck, BOUNCING A DETECTIVE, The attorney general to-day ad- dressed a letter to the district commis- sioners requesting the removal of De- tective Geo. O. Miller, on the ground that he betrayed the interests ot the government in the star route cases The request was made upon the recommendation of Messrs, Merrick, Ker and Wells. ———— TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

Cincinnati Commercial England’s positien in Egypt would be improved if she accepted the situa- tion with candor, and assumed the re- sponsibilities that pross upon her without fiction or reserve, In the first place, she has a greater interest in the peace and prosperity of Egypt than any other nation possesses. She needs Egyptian ootton, and she must have the Suez canal, as nine- tenths of the ships that pass between the Mediterranean and Hed seas bear her flag. Europe deserted England in the Egyptian difficul’y, and she took the extreme measures demanded at her own expenge of treasure and blood. Arabi did not represent a revolt merely, but a revolution, The defeat of Arabi was the conquest of Egypt, and the khedive, know so pompous, is but the puppet of the British, The responsibility for the fate of Arabl rests with England. 1f heis executed his biood will be upon her hands. England is responsible for the peace of Egypt, and must crush the false prophet as well as the mili- tary mutineer, Why should she not do the things needful without dis- uise! The Turkish rule has ong been but a shadow It is a shadow that must pass away, No one will believe in the disinter- estedness of England. She is most deeply interested. Why shoald she conquer Egypt single-handed for Eu. rope at large? She has not been guilty of any such folly. She has takeun the balf-way house between the two great diyisions of the British empire. We take it that Duafferin’s mission to Egypt. means that the British fleet and army are there to lhfi.fil The Iudian cavalry shoula have n retained, and a few swift gunboats for the Nile would be of the highest utility. Let France censole herself with Tunis, and Germany and Russsia go on with frontier fortifica- tions. England needed Egypt and has it, She has the immense advantages of possession, and even Mr. Gladstone cannot afford to surrender the fruits SIDE SPRING ATTACHMENT—-NOT PATENT A. J.
