E. ROSEWATER Editor. A searcH warrant will have to be {ssued presently to dlscover the where- abouts of the enthusiasm for Mr. Hendricks and the ‘‘old tlcket.” Tue National Republican commit- tee will meet In Washington on the 12th of December next, to fix the date and place for holding the presidential convention of 1884 E——— GexeraL Howarp Is ‘‘getting ac- qualnted with his department” in the Yellowstone park, just at present lunch baskets and fishing poles being the principal means used in this se- rlous undertakiog. ONE use of the atar route trials has been to demonstrate to the country the Integrity of the admlnistration. The republican party have pcobed a good many uleers. Unfortunately they have had a good many to probe. THERE are several conjectures re- garding the cause of the failare of the star route prosecutions, but§the most reasonable Is that they were killed by too much talk,. The wiad storm that blew for overtwelve months in Wash- Ington was enough to destroy any oase, GENERAL OR0OK has got his Indians, and the question which now agltates the war department is how it ehall dlspose of them, Beoretary Teller declines the present with thanks, and Agent Wilcox, at 8an Oarlos, politely azks to be ex cused. Moeantime General Crook is waltlog lnstractions and feeding somo thres hundred equaws, old bucks and papooses on the llne of the railroad, while the Wandering Juh is still okip- plag festively among the peaks of the Slerra Madre mounta Tae president is having another bed ot thorns prepared for him, For the past two weeks he has bzen wrestling with the internal revenue question and how to reduce the the number of districts,. Now comes in a plan to consolidate the custom houses lnto & fewer number. Tae usual howl goes up, snd Pullmen cars ara crowded with the falthful hurrylng to Wash- ington to psrry the expected blow. It is such a conditlon of affalrs that leads the Ohioago Herald to remark; “‘We would rather be named Wright now than be known aa the president.” SENATOR !BECK'S PREDIC- TION, 10N, Senator Beok, in » sparm of sound common sensé, has Informed his party that the demooracy Is mow on trial and probably for the last time. ‘‘The majority of the people of the United States,” sald the senator to a New York reporter, ‘‘are tired of what you might oall republican bosalsm, but don's think that we, the demo orats, can be trusted. We have a majority of the next congress, and the result will depend upon what we do. If we organiza and go honestly to work to leglalate for the good of the whole counmtry, put down monop- olles without alsturblng Industry, oarry & genulne reform of the clvil service Into effect, and keep clear of the Idea that power Is to be used only to reward political friends, we will elect the next president.” There is a bushel of gospel truth in Mr, Beck's view of the situation. The people of the United States are not yot ready to trust the democracy. They are beginning to distrust very seriously the republican party. Boss. {sm and arrogance in the party leader. ship, » shameful disregard of publle sentiment, and an attempt to use the party organization simply for the re- wards of party, caused the over- whelming defeat of the republicans last fall in thelr strongholds, snd the election of » demccratic house with an unprecedented majority. That was in an coff year It wili depend entirely upon the con- duct of the democrscy during the next sesslon of congress whether the republican defeat of 1882 Is to re- peated ln 1884 What the people ask of the demo- eratlo party is achlevement not prom- fses, Political promises are caelly made. They are even more eas'ly broken, If the bourbon leaders hope ta'éapture the White Honse next ycar, they mpst begln by reforming them- OUR DIVORCE LAWS. The case of Major Nickerson has attracted attentlon anew to the laxity of the laws governing divorces In the United States. Major Nickerson was a man of abllity and stood high in his profession. He lived happlly with his wife for ten years, and then, as hundredsof other married men do, he became tired of the union and desired » change. At this polnt, where the Iaw of the land ought to have proved an Insarmountable obstacle to the dissolution of his marriage tles, Major Nickerson found in it & wiling helper. Having sent his wife off to Earope and fol- lowed her with atfectlonate letters to disarm susplolon, he institated pro- ceedings for divorce in a Phlladelphia court, alleging desertion as the ground of his petition, Notloe of his inten- tion was published according to the requirements of the law, but was hid from sight In an obscure paper, and no defense belng made, after the wusual Interval, the major wss granted his request snd a decree of absolute divorce Is. suned. Within two weeks Masjor Nickerson had married a young girl in Washington, taken her to the house formerly ooccupled by his lawfal wife and thought himself secure In his now relatlon. Every provision of the law had been complied with, the proceed- ings were all regular on thelr face, but behind the cover of legal forms fraud and perjary bad been masked at every step. It needed nothing but the re- turn of the defrauded woman and her aworn testimony In the court room to re-open the case, annul the decree and to send Major Nickerson a fugitive from justice and his home. The Nickerson divorce case is un. fortnuately only a type of hundreds which every year are rushed through our courts, with no better reasous for the dlssolutlon of tho marriage bonds. In our own state the growlng Increase in the number of divorces has already been commented upon In these col- umns, The laxity of our laws places a constant premium on family differ- ences, and offers strong lncentlves to marital infidelity. Dlvorces are made even easler than marrlags; the re- strictlons agalnst fraud are so alight as to amount to practically nothing, and {f the wife 1s too ignorant or too moek to assert her rights as Mrs. Nickerson has done, the gravest of In- justices Is perpetrated by the holping hand of our judlolal machiuery, as. slsted by dishonest plaintiffs and pet- tifogglug end unscrapalous attorneys. There are several changes that might bs made with profit n ouradl- vorco laws, Porsonal eervios on the defendant, where possible, should] ba required, and where such eorvice ia not possible, repeated publication in journals of wide circulation and aoknowledged atanding ought to be in. slsted upon. The sffilsvits of the pstitioners should be mado something more than a more form, and heavy penalties ought to be provided for fraud In securing tho decree. Finally the timo of risldence in the state re- quired before bringlng suit ought to bo extended to one year. That would prevent the emlgration to Nebraska of scores of men whu come here every year with no other view than that of gotting a secret divorcs ln the quickest THE OMAH A DAILY BEE-SATURDAY JUNE 16 1883 draw the clericals in the Reichstag and lin the Prussian Landtag to his side, hoping that through a combination of the clericals with the conservatives, he could organize in those bodies a relisble majority for bis measurns, But while the pope was will- ing to mccept what the chancellur offered ~namely, the repeal of that part of the celebrated Falk laws, by which the saying of mass and the dispensing of the sacraments by priests not resognized by the government is probibited, he refused’to grant what the chancellor asked of him— namely, to recognize the authority of the government to demand official information concerning church appointments, As usual, he was willing to take but not to give, The parliamentary combination be- tween the clericals and conservatives failed oorrespondingly, snd the chsncellor's scheme to put through the biennial budget at this session of the Reichstag seemed doomed te defeat, "Uhen he resorted to & characteristic stroke of policy. He had a bill ioteoduced in the Prus. sian Landtag now sitting, emhodyiug all those features of the compromite which he had offered to the Pope, without insisting upon or waiting for the concession he had asked of the church, The press organ of the Vatican declared at once, as well it might, that this was exceedingly nntllr ing, and the clerical force in the Reich. #tag, being now reasonably sure to obtain for the church most of the things they contended for witheut any conaitions, showed themselves willing to reward the Cnancellor with their votes, Prince Bis- the same time declared that the would be dissolved unless the taken up for consideration on 8 given day, thus trying to frighten weak- koeed Liberals, The result we find in the passago of the budget and the adjournment of the Imperial parliament, In the Landtag the first three clauses if the church bill have been accepted and the measure will probably pass almost in its entirety, The n:nter seem satisfied with the position of the government toward the church, and Rome i3 reported as greatly pleased with the change in the imperial programme, The bill is stated by the minister of public fnstruction to be earnest endeavor on the part of th ernment to ascertain whether it is p to maintain peace between the church and the state, s Parliament had progresed smoothly in its work during the week, Ths corrupt ractices bill has passed to the third read- ng; the grants to General Wolsely snd Admiral Seymour have been made, and there have been no further evidences of defections from the liberal majority or of coalitions of the opposins factions, which might further weaken their stiength, The introdoction of Mr, O'Con- nor’s Irish laborers’ bill, whoss aim is to improve the condition of the holdings and cottages of the working classes in Ireland through government aid, is another sur. l:rhe of the week, especiaily as it scoms to nve seo.rod the government sanstion, The trials of the dynamitersin London have been concluded, Dr, G ullagher, Wilson, Whitehead and Cartin were con- victed of treason-feluny, and sentenced to life imprisonment.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Bismarck has sgain triumphed. The Reichstag has been prorogued, the scheme of bieznial budgets has been passed, and the Prince is left froe to pursus his plans of social reform unhswpered by the threats of the imperial parlisment that the ob- stinacy of the chancellor would be met by the withholding of supplies, The bud- got for 1884.85 haviog been voted, Bis. marck will have no further use for parlia- ment until autwmn, The way in which he carried bis poiot fw siguificant, For several yosrs Prince Bi « warck bas been endeavoring to compose, by » cbwpromise, the loag-standing quarrel bes tween the pope and the German govern- selves and thelx party before they will | yeu, partly in order to stop the source of be afforded » chance to reform the|mo end of ill-feeling among the COatholic w“‘u population of Germapy, and partly to army. The Chinese believe they can whip any force likely to ke sent uu{n-t them, and it is certaioly true that the French haye underestimated the fighting strength of China, just an Great Britain and every other civilized nation underra‘es the mar- tial power of barbarous or half-civilized oppouents. In China the French willlabor under the disadvantages inseparable from a campaign thousand of miles from home, As for the Chinese, the weakness of their finances is likely to prove the preatest hin- drance to a successful resistance.

These men are not only liable to be sent to the penitentlary, a place from which one would suppose it would bs diffi- cult for them to atiend to business for the governmert, but are threaten- €4 by olvll enit, wki'oh may bankrupt them, Thesa wore to have been bagua more ‘haa & yoar ego.

But this is not at all the whole ex- tant of the case. Tt is In evideuce and is admitted by Mr. Emer that the blda for the Niobrara route, to which Senator Van Wyck hes 8o opportunely called the attentlon of the country, woro once rejected, owlog to objec— tions made to tho establishment of that route, The checks deposited by the bldders were roturned. ~After the matter had thus been terminated, the department let the contract to thisin- dioted favorite without again califng for bids, or proceeding in any way ac- cording to the requirements of the law. The second assistant postmaster goneral, gretending to represent the people, bui in the most sub. stantlal manner representlng those who were plandering the pecple, lot this contract to a man whow he and his assoclates i the government were prosecating for fraud in this very kind of service. The law rcgnires “‘fuithful performance,” and he chose snch a man for falthful performance, though ho knew officlally that thore was a strong chance that Miner might have to mavage his business from within the walls of a United Statea peniten- tlary. Thesureties, the law says, “‘must be good and suffislent,” and Mr, E!- mer dellberately Intrusts official basi- ness to a man who, as he knew, was to be sued by the governmen agea that would probably all he was worth, There Is nothlng wanting to mako Mr. Elmer's cflamg"dmply Injarious to the government by whom he has been Intrusted with his fmportant offise, and monstrously offsnsive to every moral sense, He ueed his offiolal discretion to betray the inter- eats of the government into the hands of those whe were oertaln to render ‘‘anfalthfol performance,” ard who had ‘‘bad and insuflislent sureties.” He violated the laws which as a tru tee of the people he should have fol- lowed to even a technical nicety. He puts a ploturesque climax to his treach- ery by sending the clerks of the gov- eroment after Miner's oath and slgna- tnze to the Illegal ocontract into the very room ‘in which the de- partment (of which Elmer Is an officer) was trylog Miner for oriminal frauds In joet such contracts, When asked aboat his course, Elmer, well knowing the ditcretion which the law reposed in him at acred duty, and also well knowing that he had violated the law, s:ld coarsely and falsely that If the devll were the lowest bidder he would hava had to give him the contract. The evidence dhat the postoflics de- partment {s all the time making new contraots with the very man whom 1t is through the attornoy general’s offica pretending to prosecute for crimi- nal fraud Is overwhelming, The ad- mi - {stration cannot exlst and do such things, They threaten government Atealf, if not with immediate collapse, at loast with a deadly and Insidlous deosy, The postoffice department ought to be swept out as If it were a worse than Augean, swill milk, stable, The officer responsible for letting these contracts to Miner, and who has had the immorality to defend this traitor- ous action, ought to be at the head of the file of cfliclals to be drammed out In disgrace.
