Thanksgtving Proclamation, *In furtherance of the custom of this people at the closing of each yaar, to engage upon a day sot apart for that purpose in special festi- wal of praise to the Giver of all Good, therefore, 1, Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States, do hereby designate Thursday, the 20th day of November next, as a day of national thauksgiving, for the year that Is drawing to an end has. been replote with the evidenco of divine goodness, the prevailance of health, the fullness of the barvest, the stability of peace and order, the growth of fraternal foelings, the spread ot intelligence and_learning, the continued on- joyment of civil and religious liberty—all these and countless other blossings are cause for reverent rejoicing. I do, therefore, recom- mend that on the day above appointed the people rest from their “accustomed labors, and mwflnf in their several places of worship, express their devout gratitude to God that He has dealt bountifully with this nation, and pray that His grace and favor ablde with it orever, CHEsTER A, ARTHUR, President. By Frep, T, Freu Trmight be of interest to inquire what has become of Webster Snyder's grea market house. : Tuere will be two necktie sociables in Nebraska next month The supreme court has concluded, for once, to let the murderers have a swing. Tue New York World has made great strides since it passed into the hands ¢f Joseph Pulitzer. Colonel Cockerill, for- merly of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, is th editor-in-chief, and his assistant 1s C. A. Snowden, formerly managing editor of the Chicago Z%mes, and more recently of the Washington Repub AN ingenious Yankeo has made pro- posals to the authorities of Buenos Ayres to protect their city from incessant rain and excessive sunshine by the erection of an immense iron umbrella. We would suggest to the citizens of Buenos Ayres that they could save money by purchas- ing and transferring to their city the mammoth Union Pacific cow-shed which is miscalled the Omaha depot. Tne new standard time has already got into the courts. A poor debtor of Bos- ton, who was summoned to appear before the insolvency commissioner between 9 and 10 a. m., put in an appearance at 9:48, new time, but the commissioner refused to examine him on the ground that he was governed by the old time, ruling that it was after 10 o’clock. The case will probably be appealed to the sus preme court. Times have changed. Pisrors and coffee for two? Gen. Jubal A. Early has not a Very exalted opinion of Mahone's recent address. He says that the English language is not suffi- ciently strong to properly characterize the infamous nature of the production and the infinite baseness of its falschood, and that Mahone has sounded the depths of infamy and reached a solid bottom, below which it is impossible even for him to penetrate. Gen, Beauregard now stands ready to act as Gen. Jubal A, Early’s second in tase of an old Virginia duel. Tae Washington Post makes the an- nouncement that C. P. Huntington, of the Central Pacific railroad, and D. 0, Mills, ex-Governor Stanford, and D, P, Morgan, all more or less interested in the same organization, are about to make Washington their winter headquarters, They will interview congressmenand take a general interost in legislation relating to the Pacific railroads, and will not be oversolicitous for the interest of the tax- payers, Several influential gentlemen, who hail from this side of the slope, will probably join this railroad lobby when the time comes to put in their work, where it will do the most good. Just as we aro about to ‘enter upon the | . winter season the managers of the Mis- souri Pacific and B, & M. railways have made an agreement that they will restore the old coal rates in Nebraska. That means that the roads intend to take ad- vantage of the necessities of our people in mid-winter, when they. are helpless, 1f they could afford to deliver coal at the prosent rates during the seasen when coal was not in demand, they could gf- ford to carry it at the same rates when the quantity is so much larger. This rise in the price of fuel will affect every fami- ly in the state, and is not much - better than downright robbery —— Youna men, who are just entering up- on the arena of active life, often find themselves in a quandary as to the choice of a profession or occupation, Tre ten- dency of the age is to choose that occupa- tion in life which is the most profitable, After a careful survey of the field we would advise young men, if they possess the required qualifications, to become professiona! base ballists, The expert base ball player now receives a lyrger salary than any experienced accountant, and his income will surpass that of three- quarters of the young professional men during the first ten years of their prac- tice. Next to pugilism, base ball is now the mdst profitable ocoupation for young men, and the probability is that it will 800p become & 1ecognized branch of col- degiate education, 3 THE SPEAKERSHIP. The contest oves the Speakership ex- cites unusual interest. In pointof m- fluence the speakershsp is second only to the Presidency, Under time honored rules the speaker is an autocrat, clothed with despotic powers, He shapes logis- lation from the ontset by organizing the committees, He may forward a bill | or retard any and has it within his power | to block any measure that seems to him objectionable. It is within his power to make small men great by giving them preference and precedence and he can blast the carreer of the most gifted statesman on the floor by simply failing to see or hear him when he rises to make his mark in debate. At this juncture the speakership is destined to play a most important part in shaping the national policy on the vital problems with which the present congress is expocted ts grapple. Being nearly two-thirds democratic the selection of speaker will be made in cau- cus by the majority party. That party, must not merely assume the responsibil- ity of organizing the house but its future in the impending presidential struggle will depend upon its choice of the next #peaker. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, who speaks for the progressive wing of the democracy, is quoted as predicting the defeat of Sam Randall, who represents the protectionist element. When asked what would hap- pen should Carlisle be elected, Watterson said: 5 “The ways and means committee will be organized in a way that will make it certain that a revenue reform bill will be brought in early in_the session. Such a bill is indispensable to the democratic campaign next year. The questions are whether the democrats will stand and fight or run and later on have to contest with the republican party on grourd of its own choosing; whether the demo- cratic party will assemble in national convention witheut doing something in the way of discussing leading ques- tions, crystalizing a policy and formulat- ing a platform. Mr Randall is in favor of shunting the tariff, sending it to the rear. Noman can do that; the tariff question is at the front, and is there to stay. It will downat ne man's bidding. The point for democrats now is to con- sider whether they will meetit or run away from it.” On the other hand, the republicans, a'though in the minority, appear-also perplexed over the speakership struggle. The nomination of a minority candidate has always been a mere compliment, and has been given to_ an ex-speaker when such an ex-officer was on the roll. There seems, however, to be a decided opposi- tion to complimenting ex-Speaker Keoifer in this matter, and a movement has been started to confer the nomination on Judge Kelley. It is urged that it would be a graceful compliment to the father of the house to digmfy him in this manner, after twenty-two years of con tinuous service, and that in view of the threatened agitation of the tariff ques- tion it would be a politic act for the re- publicans to select for their representa- tive the one man whose position on the tariff is so thoroughly known that his nomination would be an emphatic pro- tost against propositions to tinker with the tariff laws at the approaching ses. sion. This would all be very politic if repub- lioans were a unit on the tariff question: but quite apart from the wide divergence of opinion on the tariff among republi- cans tho proposed _compliment to Judge Kelley might be construed as committing the party to extreme protectionist views, which it could not afford to maintain, ——— THE GENERAL OF THE ARMY. A concerted effort is being made by the Grand Army of the Republio to have con- gress revive the grade of general of the army, which ex ired with the retirement of General Sherman. Tt is proposed that Lieutenant-General Sheridan be promot- ed to the rank of general,and Major-Gien-y eral Hancock promoted to the rank of licutonant-general, The movement start- ed with Garfield Post, G. A. R., at Cov- ington, Ky. The general officers of the department of Kansas have endorsed this movement, and the departments of Colo- rado and New Jersey have concurred, Thegradeof general was originally created by congress, and conferred upon George Washington, It was nover again confer- red on any man until after the war of the rebellion, when it was revived by a spe- cial act of congress and given to General Grant, When Grant became president it was conferred upon General Sherman with the proviso that it should expire withhis retirement. It is a grave question whether this rank, which was intended only as a recognition of ex- traordinary services, should be conferred upon every commander of the United States army General Sheridan ranks high as one of the corps commanders during the rebel lion. He was a dashing cavalry com- mander, but when it comes to compari- on with Grant and Sherman, who planned successful campalgns and exe- cuted difficult maneuvers with great armies, he would fall short of the ideal of a great general, By the side of Phil, Sheridan, General Hancock would cut & much smaller figuro, and after Hancock comes Schofield, and then Pope, and 80 on down the list to the junior brigadier general, who finally reaches the rank now held by Sheridan, and with which so great a soldier as Win- field Scott was satisfied, ) If the rank of general is to be given to every commander-inschief of the army of the United Statgs, it would soon degen. erate and be no more henorable than the rank of lieutenant-general has been, or a major-generalship would be, if that was accessible to every officer in the line of promotion, —— Now that we have continuous pave- ment from the Union Pacific depot 1o to the North Omaha sewer on Sixteenth stroet, the matter of street cleaning should be provided for atan early day by [ the city council. Tt our paved streets should bo kept and there is a fund already provided for that purpose. It should, however, be properly expended, and it seems to us that a street cleaning contract should be let to the lowest responsible bidder for a is important that clean, | period of years—long enough at least to | warrant the contractor in expending suf- the necessary machinery, which is quite costly. The mud and dust nuisances on the | paved streets should be abated as soon as possible. The strects were paved with that object in view, but.if a system of street cleaning is not adopted and put into practice ths nuisances remain all the |same. If put into the hands of a re- sponsible contractor the work would be properly, and the | ficient money to obtain done regularly and matter should no longer be delayed. Un- der the present loose way of attending to the paved strects the mud accumu- lates to the depth of several inches be- fore any attempt is made to remove it. The asphalt streets at any rate should be kept clean for it is a very easy job to keep it in that condition All that is necessary is regularity in the work, and the oftener it is done the easier it is. Brurivone is fast growing in import- ance as a great grain growing market, and is rapialy encronching upon the field which was almost exclusively monopo- lized by New York. The exports of grain from New York from January lst to November Ist of the present year are stated at 18,0 073 bushels of wheat and 23,048,843 bushels of corn, and from and 9,605,464 bushels of corn. New Yorkers claim that the rapid strides made by Baltimore are explained by the fact that it has superior terminal facili- ties, and that grain delivered in thdt city is exempt from charges which are levied upon it in New York, and further that grain is delivered by the railroads directly on board ships. The Bal- timoreans, however, offer a differ- ent explanation, namely, that their inspection system is superior, and they say that this alone accounts for the grad- ual increase of its grain receipts. A prominent grain exporter at Baltimore says: “‘Baltimore holds her own in the grain trade because she adheres to hon- est inspection. The same grade of grain that is made 1in the elevators here is as- sured when it is taken out, and European buyers have found this out; and Balti- more graded grain stands the best in the market.” In New York wheat is so manipulated in the elevators and between them and the vessels that the grades cannot be depended on, and the foreign buyer almost invariably finds that what he bought for No. 2 is an inferior stuff. If this be the correct explanation, it is of some importance as showing the value to a city of an honest and reliable system of inspection. AccorpInG to latest cable advices, pi- rates ave displaying great activity along the water-courses of China. Those Chi- nese pirates can’t hold a candle to the literary pirates who steer the junk known as the Omaha Republic OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Tne World's attention has again been attracted towards Egypt during the past week. The crisis between the contend- ing armies of E1 Mahdi, the false prophet, and Hicks Pasha, occurred in a great battle fought near Elobeid. El Mahdi’s forces, numbering 300,000 men, had sur- rounded Hicks Pasha, and cut off their supplies. The fighting finally began on the 3d and continued until the 5th of November, and the news of the result was received in London on Thursday last. Itis reported that Hicks Pasha’s army, numbering 25,000 Egyptian troops, has been cut to piecos and almost annihilated. When Gladstone an nounced a weck ago Friday, at the lord mayor's dinner, that British troops were to bo withdrawn from Egypt and Cairo, and certain other places were to be evacuated, there was such loud clamor and protest the next day throughout London that tho premier was compelled to modify his statement by explaining that 2,000 troops and one powerful man- of-war were to be keptat Alexandria, aud that this force would be strength- oned as occasion may require, The oc- casion seems to have come much sooner than Mr. Gladstone expected. In- stead of withdrawing troops from Egypt heavy reinforcements will have to be sent forward to put down a foe more dangerous than the rebellious Arubi Bey had been, The visit of the.crown prince of Ger- many to the Spanlsh capital is one of the all-ubsorbing topics in the diplomatic circles of Kurope. Mirshal Serrano, who has been reputed as the father of the present King of Spain, and ought to ba some authority, says, in the most pos- itive terms, that neither King Alfonso nor any Spanish party entertains the slightest idea of an alliance with Ger- many, and, while the crown prince has been given a cordial reception, his visit will have no political consequences. This recalls an interesting chapter of modern histary, One duy in July, some 13 years ago, the representatives of the Spanish people chose a Hohenzollern to come and be their king, Franee rose in great anger and bade Prussia not only to refuse the prcffered crown for her prince, but to promise never to permit such an offer again, Prussia refused the crown, but declined to give pledges. War was declared by France, within a week great armies concentrated on the Rhine forelands, within a few weeks the emperor of the French was a prisoner, and within a few months Lis capital was Baltimore 14,443,780 bushels of wheat | taken and two fair provinces were lopped off to the victor, This is the brief but humilating story recalled by the visit to Spain of Frederick William, a Hohenzol- lern imperial crown prince of Germany, in return for the recent visit of King Al- | fonso to that country. Lord Salisbury, the leader of the Tory Peors, until recontly rezarded as one of the coldest and least magnetic of public men, has suddenly blossomed into a leader of the London workingmen, His article on the London poor, which was written for the purpose of damning the present liberal Government by con- trasting its waste of the public time in foolish attempts to give the Irsh reme. dial legislation which they don't want, while entirely neglecting the more numerous, more deserving, and more wretched poor of London, has become the great political document of the work- men of the metropolis. The publication is practicaily the first really serious and successful attempt on the part of a pro- tention to the needs of the English poor. The workmen, failing to see the political motive, have accepted the article at its face value, and are fast abandoning loy- alty to the liberal leaders. The con- servatives are fully alive to the situation, and are busily organizing the diaffected. Already the committes of several of the workingmen’s societies have held conferences with a view of form- ing & new labor party in Lon- don. Last Tuesday at a congress of these conference commuttees it was re- solved to organize a great labor demon- stration, on the plan of the liberal con- ference at Leeds, to formulate the d mands of the London poor, to organize thepoorof the city intoa political party by themselves, and fo ask Lord Salisbury to preside over the demonstration and to shape the new movement. China continues in her preparations for an aggressive and vigorous war. A large army for defensive and offonsive operations is now stationed on the An- nam border. Exaggerated reports have reached England to the effect that China seems to be gathering an army large enough to overun Europe. The navy journals of England discuss the situation as one of the utmost gravity, and are ac- cusing the government of having by a process of starvation so weakened the British navy that if war between France and China breaks cut England will be actually unable to find either the ships or the marines necessary to properly re- enforce the British squadron in Chinese waters. Latest cable advices announce that China has instructed her ambassa- dor to declare war against France. The leading French papers are all dis- cussing the question of war with China from a very serious standpoint. One of them The G'aulois, writes as follows: “‘The question is will France go as far as to declare war against China? Accord- ing to the best information, notwith- standing the above mentioned alarmist rumors, the probabilities are that China has no intention to declare war officiallly. Neither will France, if she can help it— at least not at present. Both countries are playing bluff, much to the ‘disgust of Europe, which would like to see the matter settled ono way or the other. She is weary of the everlasting inter- views with the Marquis Tseng and the bombast, of French journalists about a question of which they know so little. We all know what the end will be— that Annam_will be peacefully divided up, and the Red river from the boundary between the French possessions and the Chinese empire, Everything further depends upon whether Admiral Courbet wiFl venture te cross the Red river and attack Bacninh, as threatened. In this caso the Red river becomes the Rubicon of the Chinese question.” Dispatches from St. Petersburg an- nounce that the czar has invited two or three trusted advisors to form a constitu- tiop suitable to the Russian empire. It is well known, that the late czar pre. ferred the chance of assassination to the surrender of his right of absolute rule, but the son may take a different view of the matter. The fundamental objection made by the Russian 'czar and the French Bourbons to a constitutional go- vernment is that they aro rulers by divi- ne right. What powers the Divine Ruler has given them they say they may not delegate to others, If the Russian em- peror has emancipated himself from his service, A comstitution will restore domestic tranquil.ty. The nihilist will disappear from politics to reappear per- haps in the form of a radical seeking by constitutional methods to liberalize the government. The emperor will then ba judged according to his acts, and will at least have it in his power to attach his people to him. The discussions, which are a natural result of diverse views in a legislative body, will enlighten the em- peror both as to the needs of the people and as to their desires. He will see how to shape legislation so as to consult the well-being and wishes of the people. The emperor should understand by this time that the day of absolute rulers is passed. The Russian government continues to apprso the world of the existence of nihilism by arrests, hangings and deport- ations, A Russian mnister has very oddly confessed to an interviewer, after a boast that nihilism was moribund at last, that one woman had recently enrolled as nihilists 40 officers in one garrison town, The present quict of the revolution is significant only of the extreme patience and power of the leaders. Every phase of the movement met in council at St. Petersburg, shortly after the czar’s late change of ministry and promise of re- form, and the discussion was stormy, but the views of the moderates prevailed; and it is understood that the czar is re- prieved until the Russian Christmas, which is 12 days later than ours, This will give hiw time to show his honesty of purpose toward the people, if he has any. The resignation of Lord Ripon, vice- roy of India,is at the disposal of the gov- ernment, and it has been understood that, in case of vaeancy, the Marquis of Lorne would be selected to fill it. A London dispatgh says that the mar- quis has no chanice of the semi-royal post in India, the opposition in the cabinet boing 8o strong as to render his appoint- ment unadvisable, It had previously been intimated in London correspon- dence that Lord Lorne would be ap- pointed as viceroy of Ireland if the queen would give her consent, The queen, it is said. does not rd Treland as a safe place of residence for her daugh- ter Louise, who only made a partial suc- cess of playing queen in Canada, Lord Lorne seems likely, t re, to have to continue his contributions to English magazines, e | In Germany there is still common e- lief that sodner or later another war with France is bound to come, According to nounced Tory Peer to direct public at- |* belief he can do his country a great|= Burdocl TR LOOD Cures Scrofula, Erysipelas, Pimples and Face Grubs, Blotches, Boils, Tumors, Tet- ter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Sores, Mercurial Diseases, Female Wealkness and Irregularities, Dizziness, Loss of Appetite, Juandice, Affections of the Liver, Indi- gestion, Biliousness, Dyspep- sia and General Debility.

The Kolnische Zeitung shouts out that since a bloody struggle is inevitable the sooner it takes place the better, and an- other newspaper declares that any in- sults in Spain to the crown prince under French instigation would popularize the iden of a war. At the same time military newspapers inform Italy that she will have to take the offensive in a defense of her German ally, and lecture her on the backward state of her artillery. Prince Bismarck's conference at Friedrichsruhe with M. de Giers, the Russian foreign minister, resulted in an understanding on the future policy in regard to Bul- garia, securing Prince Alexander in pos- session of the throne. It is reported that M. de Giers offered to discuss terms on which Russia mjight join the European peace league, dssuring Princo Bismarck that in the meantime he could regard Russia as a virtual member of the con- cert of the powers, Cologne Gazotte and other leading Ger- man pavers in advocating immediate war with Frimce as the only means of clear- ing up the present situation is attributed to instructions from Prince Bismarck, introductory to proposals for a reduction of the French and the other continental armaments, M. De Lesseps has given one very strong, practical reason why the second Suez canal should be under the same management as the ole one, namely, ves sels going toward the Red sca would use one, and those caming this way would use the other. There would be a_great saving in time, and there would also be a_considerable reduction in the first cost of the new canal, since both could use the same harbor at each end, and the “turnout”’ cuts would bo very few. Pope Leo has pronounced in favor of the Comte do Paris, aud thinks that the way to save France is for the conserva- tives to group themselves about him. Time was when such an expression from the pope would shake Europe to its cen- ter, but alas for tho Vatican! that time has long since passed away. Charles William Siemens, scientist, en- gineer, and electrician, died on last Tues- day of rupture of the heart, caused by a fall. He was born at Leuthe, in Han- over, April 4, 1823. He wasa graduate of the art school of Magdeburg and the university of Gottingen. Ho took up his abode in England in 1854,and in 1859 became a_naturalized subject of that country. Dr. Siemens’ first invention was a differential governor for steam en- gines, which was patented in 1844, Among other improvements brought out by Dr. Siemens were the process of “an- astatic printing,” the chronometic gover- nors, the double cylinder air pump, the regenerative gas furnace. 1n 1848 Dr. Siemens took up the study of telegraphic engineering, and in 1858 the large tele- graph works of Siemens, Halske & Co, were established, He was aFellow of the Royal society, the president of *the society of Mechanical engineers, a mem- ber of the Philosophical and Royal so- ciety clubs and an honorary member of o e L (e e ft Gewer e verein of Berlin.
