The supply from the Platte river was not only insufficient, but had become the cause of frequent complaint. Strange as it may soem, the man who was boring foroil and struck water was the president of the Denver water-works company, and the company are now digging several wolls, which will supply their entire pipe sys- tem. Cntoaco does not propose to remain behind Omaha in the matter of musical oducation. A committeo of the Chicago Board of Education proposes that here after the study of music shall be placed on the same basis as reading, writing and arithmetic in all the grades above the first, with tho exception that this shall not apply to pupils who have defective vofes, or whose parents do not wish them to study music. The Chicago Tri- bune pronounces this attempt to force music into the public school system an ill considered raid on the taxpayers and an imposition on the patrons of the schools. No matter, says the Tribune, whether a pupil has ‘‘an ear for music” or not, he cannot be advanced unless he passes examination in music, though he be ever so proficient in reading, the arithmetic, and the writing of his grade. A second-grade pupil may now be able to read a newspaper or a volume of Macau- lay, but if He is not up in arithmetic hemust continue to pore over the ordinary Second Reader; he may be able to write a first-class business hand, but unless he is up in his addition, subtraction, and multiplication he must practice on the grade copy-book. And even this does not satisfy the votaries of the cast-iron system which is well calculated to destroy all individuality, so they insist that he must “‘bring up” in music also. Should use of the electric light is evidenced by the fact that last week several of the car- ringes which conveyed guests to the Guild hall banquet in London carried electric lights in place of the ordinary lamps. ‘What next? Onana gas lamps are very bright dur- ing these moonlight nights, and there is no difficulty in seeing them, but if the gas compnny would only make the gas a little more luminous the lamps might possibly become visible on a dark night. — Tar monumental liar who roosts around the dome of the Illinois State capitol at Springfiield is at it again.

SENATOR VEST of Missouri, Congress- man Carlisle of Kentucky, and several other great lights, have made a call on the Austrian minister at Washington with a view of securing a transfer of the late Vienna electric exposition to the show projected at New Orleans for next year. This isa step in the right direc- " tion. I will take an imported electric apparatus to electrify theold fossilsof the Crescent city.

The Luther celebration was one of the principal events of the week in Protest- ant Europe, and particularly in Ger- many. The most interesting celebrations were at Eisleben, where Luther was born and baptized, and at Berlin. At the recent banquet of the Lord Mayor of London, the relations between England and France were quite freely discussed. Gladstone's statement con- cerning the proposed British evacuation of Egypt raised quite a breeze and created such a strong opposition that he was forced to explain in an interview. He claimed that he had been incorrectly reported and misunderstood. It is not intended, said he, to entirely evacuate KEgypt at present nor is the way clear to arrange for total evacution at any particular period in the A large part of the army of oc- cupation will be withdrawn according to arrangement early in December. Two thousand of the best troops will, how- ever, be maintained in Egypt, and these will bo stationed at Alexandria, where they wil) remain for an indefinite period. The army will be strengthened it occa- sion requires. The Government will also maintain in active duty in Egyptian waters a large and thoroughly equipped and manned man-of-war, De Lesseps favors the cutting of a sec- ond canal in Egypt, but the English be- lieve that the present canal ought to be enlarged. There is reason to beliove, however, that the Egyptian Government is not disposed to admit De Lesseps a monopoly in the construction of the new Suez canal, De Lesseps says that there is no doubt about the ultimate success of the Panama canal, Agitation still continues in Ireland. Carl Spencer threatens to resign unless he be empowered to suppress National league meetings. 1t is understood that the lord lieuten- ant of Ireland has been instructed to keep peace between the nationalists and Orangemen by discouraging the meet. ings of both parties and forbidding the gotherings of either organization if troublo is threatened, A troop of lancers has been sent to Garristown in order to suppress, if necessary, the nationalist and Orange meetings announced for Thursday. The Orangemenof Ferma- nagh have issued the following notice: “The government having resumed the function of keeping order, by stopping rebel meetings, we hereby summon all Orangemen to obey the law and remain at_hom The movement in favor of making the Parnell banquet a starting point for the new fund to pay the members is gaining ground, and 1t is probable that several of the five hundred gaests will give large subscriptions, If this programme be carried out two or three prominent members of parlisment will probably visit America. The crown prince of Germany goes ¥ otun troyal ruler of that petty power. peror, upon the return from which he was greeted with such indignities in Paris. It shows a union between Spain and Germany that will not be to the lik- ing cither of France or the Spanish Re- publicans that have been such a dis- turbing element in Spain's politics for the last few years. In the growing Re- publicanism of France on tho west, and Switzerland on the south, the German Emperor seos no sense in permitting an outhrenk of the same sentiment in Spain. The visit of Frederick William is as Republican ment in Spain as to that in France. The good folks on the banks of the Man- sanares are said to be making Sxtraordi- nary efforts to make the reception of much of a menace to senti- Prince Frederick William just as enthu- siastic aad joyful as Alfonso's recoption in Paris was disagresable. This will be the means of politely giving a pretty se- vere slap in the face of France. 1f the Crown Prince were to pass through Paris on his way to the Spanish capital the mob might roughly express their sentiments and show their detestation of his pres- ence, but, as he is not likely to do this, France will just have to stand by and grin and bear the slap. The installation of the new Lord Mayor of London was followed by a ban- quet noticeable in several particulars. The American Minister was not invited, while the French, Chinese and other for- eign ministers were. M. De Lesseps was also invited and spoke to a toast, So the French Minister, M. Waddington, not only spoke, but Mr. Gladstone showed him very marked attention in his ad- dress. All this means, of course, that England and France wish to impress China that they are on pleasant terms, and that settlements of war problems are to be made with them, and not with the United States or through our influence. The policy of England as regards Egyp- tian occupation was also announced, and it favors De Lesseps’ views, That is, the English army is to be withdrawn in whole or part from Egypt. This will set back the scheme for an English canal in competition with the Suez canal. Thus France and England are evidently draw- ing together, and their policy is shaping toward harmony. This it evidently attributable, in a large measure, to Mr, Waddington’s influence, he being of Eng- lish origin. If the two powers reach substantial unity, and England establish. es close relations with Russia, there will be a counterpoise to Bismarck's triple alliance which will be of some moment. England, France and Russia forma strong combination, It now looks as though war between France and China were inevitable. The French are preparing toattack Bacnimh, which is garrisoned by Chinese troops, and the Marquis Tseng declares that the first gun iire:i on that place will sound a dec'aration of war, from which China cannot honorably rotreat. Still, it is not improbable that the cunning Orien- tal diplomat may be only playing anoth- er hand in the game of bluff which for several months has occupied the atten- tion of his government. Meanwhile, the French seem more confident than ever of soon achieving the object of their mili- tary operations—the control of the trade of the fertile valley of the Ked river. Admiral Courbet, the French admiral in Chinese waters, says that he cannot orumte in Tonquin before February. Ho has already discovered that malaria and the monsoon miasma are a good deal worse to enwul\;’r than Black Flags or Chinese. The French profess to have been deeply insulted by the Moers. This ought to give France a good opportunity for enlarging the small aggressive polic; which has developed itself since the birth of her latest republic.

FOSTER, MILBURN & CO., Prop's Buffalo, N. Y. crown fora number of Governors, It is likely that the colonies, if kept separate, would cling closer and longer to tho par- ent state than after they have formed a union among themselves. The imperial parliament delegates a large portion of its power to the parliament of the confed- eration. Time serves to diminish the bond of union between people of the so-called colonies and those of the old countryf It is not likely that the British govern- ment will ever commit the mistake it did with the colomies that revolted and formed the United States, but it may make other mistakes. That the differ- ent colonies now arranged in natural groups will ultimately form federations seems certain. _Undoubtedly the home government will sce the propriety of granting them their independence if they manifest a desire for it. A federation of all the English-speaking people of the world, outside of the United States, has been sug ested, but the distance separ- ating the different regions and the great diversity of interests will ‘almost cer- tainly prevent such a union. Horsford’s Acid Phosphate As a Nerve Food. Dr. J. W. Smith, Wellington, O., says: ““In impaired nervous supply I have used it to advantage.” The Presidential Contest, San Francisco Call. The November elections have material- ly changed the face of the coming Presid- ential contest. They show that the Republican party is in the ascendency in every Northern state east of the »1legha- nies, except perhaps New Jersey. The latter state has now a small Democratic majority, but it cannot hold out against the iufluences which have overthrown the Democracy in every other Eastern state in which it has from time to time made alodgment. Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania have had Democratic spasms, but the tendency in every case has been promptly checked. Corporations or other forms of organized capital control all these states, and will cast their electo- ral votes for the Republican ticket unless the Domocratic ticket should be of such a character that its success would serve the money power quite as well as the Republicans. Eastern Democrats will now say that the Presidential candidate must be taken from New York to war- rant a hope of the electoral vote of that state, This view of the situation is doubt- less correct. Mr. Tilden and Mr. Field are perhaps the only two men who can reasonably expect to carry New York for the Democrats next year. But if either of these men is selected as the Democratic standard-bearer, the public, apart from the comparatively small por- tion who expect offices, will not be great- ly interested in the result. The money power would have nething to fear from Tangiers the aetion might possibly dis- tract attention from her duEiouu opera- tions in the delta of the Red River in Tonquin, Germany kindly offers to mediate be- tween Bulgaria and Russia in the dis- pute that has lately arisen regarding Russian influence and prerogatives of the In mak- ing this proposition Bismarck has the double motive of desiring to interfere with the affairs of the countri i weroe lately Turkish principai maintain the peace of Europe at a season when war would prove exceedingly in- convenient. Every one who has cared to follow closely the course of European affairs must have observed the variations of the war feeling with the varying sea- sons, There is a movement on foot in Aus- tralia, and in fact in all the British colo- nies and provinces, including those on the American continent, to cut loose from the mother country and establish independent governments, Thoughtful men in England are considering what is to be the future of the Dritish empire. At present it embraces not only the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, but all of Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, most of India, nearly half of North America, a portion of South Africa or than France, and numerous other smaller possessions. The accessions of territory under the reign of Victoria have been greater than under any of her predecessors, The small penal colony at Botany Bay has expanded s0 as to form an important state. = Australia is now an empire of itself, and bids fair to have a population larger than that of England, Canada, Australia, and South Africa can no longer properly be called colonies. They have passed through the colonial period. Each comprises several important States, Those in the first named have formed a cenfederation, A confederation is also proposed by the provinces of Australia nnfly those of South Africa. The British empiro is unlike Russia or Germany, The differ- ent portions of it are not united like the h | language that the them and the people ncthing to hope. The wheels of government would run along in the same old rut, directed by the power ' ehind the throne stronger than the throne itself. The nomination of Butler stirred this power to the centre. His elcction would have been a menace to it. Whether or not Butler is a man of profound convictions, circumstances and the chances of politics have placed him on the side of the people, * He has de- clared openly and in the most emphatic ower of corporations must be checked. The money power be- lieved him in earnest and put forth mighty efforts to defeat him, Perhaps no means were resosted to that are not re- garded as logitimate in politics, but the fact remains that money was used without stint to compass his defeat. W are not to draw from this the conclusion that the money power 15 able under all circum stances to defeat the people. The field in Massachusetts is narrow and the con- ditions favorable to the success of a moneyed fight. On a broader field the result might be different. The influences which are all-powerful in Massachusetts have not obtained the same force in the newer states. The sucoess of the Repub- licans in New York, Pennsylvania, Con- necticut and Massachusetts should serve to direct the attention of Democratic leaders to the West. What was done last Tuesday can be repeated next year. The Democrats saw New York and Con necticut snatched from their grasp four years ago by the power they will have to contend against next year. Even if they have a small majority on the general ticket this year, it at best is a very small percentage of the entire vote and will present small obstacles to Republican success next year. But the somewhat general belief that the Democratd cannot elect a President without New York is based rather upon confident assertions than on known facts, A Western candi- date, who is closer to the people than any representative of Eastern capital can be, who represents rather the industries than the accumulated wealth of the country, might easily carry several states that have been put down as reasonably certain states of this union.
