E."ROSEWATER, Editor. Now that the American hog has re- sumed his friendly relations with the French, Bismarck can’t bar him much longer out of Germany. Twe spoakership contest which has beon raging so furiously in the news- papers for more than a month is no mearer sottled than it was when it was begun. Ir the elegant cowshed that adorns the Union Pacific depot grounds could be teansferred to Capitol avenue or Joffer- son square, the market house problem ‘would be solved. For the first time since her admission into the union, Nebraska will be repre- monted in congrees by a delegation of which a majority holgl seats in the house. ¥or sixteen yoars Nebraska hss had but a solitary member in the lower branch of tho national legislature, and that solitary momber has for the most part beon a man of straw. On and after Monday Nebraska will have three members in the house, and sho ought to wield an influence cor- responding with the increased, represen- tation. — Tiue St. Paul & Omaha managors have dismissed their injunction suits against the Omaha Belt railway and the Union Pacific. The Dbelligerent corporations have buried the hatchet, and the lamb and the lion sleep together; the lamb in- mide of the lion-—of course. Dut there are other interests and other rights i volved in this contest botween corporate monopolies. The owners of property on California and Fifteenth streets have rights which have been violated, and the citizens of ©Omaha are also deeply concerned. It is still an open and unsettled ques- tion whether tho grant madoe by the «<ouncil in a manner that savors of jobbery and bribery is valid. It remains also an open question whether mere possession—obtained in a high- handed and unlawful manner on Sunday —when the courts were closed, convey: any pormanent franchise to the Belt Railway company. Tt strikes us that the courts must—if applied to, pronounce this whole transaction as brigandage. If the Belt Railway company wants a legal right-of-way lot them proceed in a legal, traightforward way. Lot them first pay the damages to property owners and indonmnify the city. Warer te 18 of lato becoming a matter of serious concern in the leading cities of this country, Those who have given this subject closo attention are seriously alarmed over the marked in- crease in water consumption, which in many of our cities compels a complete reconstruction of waterworks and costly enlargement of the water supply. A carefully prepared table of water statistics shows that the daily per capita consumption of water has increased in Boston from 30 gallons in 1850 to 92 gallons in 1882; in Brooklyn from 17 gal- Ions in 1866 to H4 gallons in 1880; in Chicago from 43 gallons in 1867 to 114 gallons in 1880; in New York, from 62 #allons in 1867 to 100 gallons in 1876; in Philadelphia, from 56 gallons in 1867 to 67 gallons in 1880; in Cincinnati, from 21 gallons in 1845 to 87 gallons in 1881; in Hartford, from 53 gallons in 1859 to 110 gallons in 1883, Each inhabitant of Boa- ton consumeson an average three times as much water as he did thirty years ago; «ach inhabitant of Brooklyn, three times as much as ho did fourteen years ago; each inhabitant of Chicago, nearly three times as much as he did thirteen years ago, and 80 on. 1t might at first reading be inferred that an increased ase of water is one of the marks and ac- companiments of an improved civ- iliration, and it probably is, but not to| theextent which theso figures would show. Itis the opinion of oxperienced waterworks officials that nearly the wholo increase in consumption in each -of these <itics is due to waste; persons 1o not use mwore water than they did fiftecn years aga, but they waste more. An al. lowance of thiirty gallons a day per capita, or five bawels for overy family of five persons, would seem liboral enough, and wiken this is raised to three barzals for each person, or fifteen barrels @ day for every fumily of five persons, the inforence is irrosietible that there must be &n enormous wastage. This view is streagthoned by the consumption in the city of Providence. That city has a population of 120,000, and its consuwmp. tion of water is only 3,000,000 gallons o day, or 25 gallons per eapita. This is a low average compared with that of other cities; snd yet it is not stated that the Providence people, who are largely en- goged in msnufacturing, cowplain of acarcity of water, Their water system is very strict (n the direction of prevent- ing waste, and it is to this fact that the Jow rate of per capita consumption is e, OMAHA BEE.| TWENTY YEARS AFTER. Tn the midst of a great civil war, which had arraged two millions of men in bloody struggle, and taxed all the na tion's energies te the utmost, an enter- priso was began by the Ameriean people that eclipsed in ita vasiness the most marvellous achievements of either ancient or modern times Twenty years ago the Pacific states of California and Oregon were as remote from the rest of the settled country as Alaska is to-day. The greater portion of the commerce between the Atlantic and Pacific states was carried on almost en- tirely by sailing vessels around Cape The region between the Missouri river and the I’asific const was an almost trackless waste, the habitation of the Indian and buffalo. Overland travel was ns dangerous as it was slow and ex- To build a railroad across the and over ra Neva- dns was a daring project, involving an outlay of millions, and the overcoming of secmingly insurmountable obstacles. The capitalists who first engaged in this great and risky enterprise might well be called a band of brave adventurers. While the American pocple, through roprosentatives in congress, endowed the Pacific railroad with princely subsidies, the means for carrying out the project were not available for explorations surveys, materials and first construction, Our bonds were way below par and the vast domain which was placed at their disposal was not market- ablo. Ttis amazing, at this day, that New York and Philadelphia millionaires rofused to become partners in the Credit Mobilier, which was organized by Boston capitalists to furnish the funds for build- ing the first few sections. Horn. pensive. great plains and alkali desert the Rocky mountains and Si The Pacific railrond was primarily a war mensuro, There had been somo talk of a Pacific confedoracy at the outbreak of the rebellion, and a railroad across the continent to unite the east and far west had bocomo a military necessity. For tho samo reason the most feasible line across tho central belt, north of the re- bellious states, Under democratic rule, with tho south was given the preference. proponderating, there is not a shadow of doubt that the Pacific railroad would have built either from Saint Louis, Memphis, or New Orleans. St. Louis vas fairly entitled to tho commer- cial terminus of the Pacilic road. Thomas H Benton, when senator from Missouri, introduced the first Pacific railroad bill in congress, as far back as 1850, and St. Louis had built nearly two hundred miles of the Missouri Pacific railway befere 1860, As the terminus of the Great Pacific railway St. Louis would have been the largest inland city in America, but her people were narrow- minded, short-sighted, and largely in sympathy with the rebellion. Chi- cago was wide-awako vigorous, en- terprising, far-reaching and loyal. ‘When the first spade of earth was turned over at Omaha, twenty years ago, on the 2d of December, destiny gave the empire of the west to Chicago. From that da Ch n to outstrip St. L the great race for commerei Twenty yeara ago St. Lou lation of 250,000, while Chic than half of that number. T cago has nearly double tho pupul.\unu of St. Louis, and more than four times the been ago b had a popu- 0 had less commerco. And Omaha, the new Chicago, also started upan hor groat careor from the day on which Abraham Lincoln issued the proclamation locating the Pacific railroad Twenty years Omaha was a straggling villags of about 4,000 people. Her commerce consisted mainly in furnishing supplios to the ter- ritorial logislature wheu it was in ses- sion, foraging on pilgrims that came across the plains, and selling merchan dise and wet groceries to ranchmen on the overland stageroute. To-day Omaha is a flourishing city of 50,000 people, which is 10,000 more than were living in the whole territory of Nebraska in 1863, Heor commerce extends throughout every stato and torritory west of the Missouri and north of Kansas, and her trade is by no means confined to the west side of the Missouri, Fromamereiver town she has torminus, ago grown to be one of the leading railway centers in Amorica Her factories and workshops alone em- ploy more than 5,000 hands, and millions of capital are invested in her industrial es tablishments. Her educational institu- tions rank among the best, and her church edifices would be a credit to any city, Omaha is no longer an overgrown mushroom railroad town, with a popula- tion of transients. She has now every metropolitan convenience, spacious and wagnificent hotels, & superb opera house, a system of water-works through 42 miles of streots, a system of sanitary sew- orage, and substantial pavements, Those who were present at the break- ing of the ground for the Union Pacitic twency years ago can hardly realize what a chawge has been wrought. To those, and to all others, the historic review, which 4a presented by Tur Bee in this issue, to commemorate the twenticth an wiversary of the inauguration of the work on the Pacific railrc d, will afford an in The idea of eol- teresting reminiscens latiug these facts occurred to us less than § a week ago, sud the task, which we have undertaken on such short necessarily be uncompleted, notice, must It has,how over, been & labor which affords us much satisfaction. We have suc- ceeded in bringing togother facts which many books and newspapers, now out of date, and obtained valuable historic information from persons who have taken a leading part in the location and building of the Pacific reilroad, The contributions from George Francis woro soattered through of gotting a Train and Peter A, Dey are esp n, interesting, and worthy of careful per usal Mr. Train was & very important and his intimate relations with Oliver and Oakes Ames, Thomas C. Durant and other capitalists engaged in the en- terpriso, enable him to furnish data and incidents that no other living man could supply. Mr. Dey's narrative, about his labors in pioneering the Pacific road actoss plain and mountain, while he was chief engineer, is extremely modest and unaffected, just like the narrator himself. 1t we have fallen short in what we aimed at, it is mainly owing toa lack of time and space. e A miniLuis description of a Spanish bull fight, which took place in Madrid last Sunday, was cabled to America. Crown Prince Frederick William, pros- pective head of the Protestant church militant of Germany, graced the brutal and bloody exhibition. According to all accounts it was a mest exciting affair, and when the matador delivered the fatal stroke to the terrible bull, the enthusi- asm of the spectators was immense. The populaco were cspecially flattered by the interest which the crown prince took in their national sport, and there is no fear now of a rising of the mob of Madrid. But what will Rev. Dr. Julius Stocker, the court chaplain and spiritual adviser of the imperial family of Germany, say? |} ] OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Tho only things talked about in the British capital, during the past woek, are the critical situation in Egypt, and the impending war between China and France. The extreme points at issue be- tween the government of China and France have been reached. China has made a formal memorandum, through her representative at the French capital, charging that France had imposed upon the government of Annam an unjust treaty, and had ignored the rights of China. France had invaded Annam and manifested an intention to take Bacninh, the key to the Chinese empire. While China professed a desire to maintair pacific relations with France, theChinese troops would be compelled to resist any wggression. The French reply to this memorandum declares that France had no desire to annex Annam or Tonquin. the terms of the threaty of 1874, In Tonquin, France considered 1t expedient to occupy Bacninh again and Sontag, but there was nothing to prevent an amicable arrangement, otc. in Tonquin, and is ready for a desperato encounter. A formal declaration of war may be made almost any day. The Frenchcabinet has for putting the army on a war footing, i inovitable, This decision on the part of the govern- ment of China has a kusiness-like and bo- ligerent ring which will be regarded with favor gonerally Tt will for If tho Fronch go e & crisis at amee. nment wants foothold on the Red rlver, thousands of miles, from home, in an un- healthy climate, among peoplo whom it onization is prac ically out of the ques- tion, it can do so; it will engage in a well nigh hopeless un- before it is closed. great deal of useless palaver, of unneces- sary misconception, of diplomatic fen ing about the difticulty, which is certainly two sided, and called for delicate and honorable dealing. Butwhile the French government has acted inconsistently as though it had no settled policy to be steadily maintained, the Chinese ministor has carried on his negotiations very largely with British nowspapers, report- ing all his sospicions and expatiating on his supposed snubs, and calling the officials with whom he was commissioned to deal by names that have no place in the lexicon of diplomacy. And the French minister in China has made more irritation than he has soothed. Tho news from Evypt is by no means reassuring. El Mahdi, tho false prophet, has carried everything before hum, and lis victory over Hicks Pasha has in- creased his moral influence among the Mohammedan . population. What the effect of this victory for the false prophet will b it is not easy to foresce. It may be the means of attracting to his green standard many thousand more des perate Bodouins, dervishes and negrocs, who will not hesitate to march into lower Egypt and attomnt to preach the new Johud from the mosques of Cairo, Tt on will dlmost ceratinly cause Egypt to abandon the Soudan.

This deficiency in cavaley he evidently thought likely to work the ruin of this expedition. To the False Prophet he gives fifteen thou- sand breech-loading rifies, fourteen guns, and a numerous and excellent cavalry. desert. would most trustworthy ac hibition These, in a waterless have been suflicient to work Hicks’ ruin inthe long run. His fate, however, seems to have been precipitated by the tronchery of a guide, who took him into a dofile, where ho was soon disposed of. Major Seckendorf thought this victory, |0 if won, would satisfy the nativ false prophet was the Messiah and would give him the whole country. News is tho only London paper which seems to take a rational view of the dis- aster, by declaring that it ought to teach the Khedive the folly of fighting the false | ! prophet up in the Sudan. The true pol- icy for Egypt iu the present state of finances and its army is prophet alone as long as he is content to stay where he is. There is no place which a falso prophet can do less harm than around the head waters of the Nile. The Tory papers and the Jingoes are ap- parently crying to work themseves into the belief that it is in some way Mr. Gladstones duty t> go after him and prove to the Sudan Berbers, Bishareen Nubians, Negros and Fellahs, that the false prophet is not the Messiah, by giving them a thrashing. But Mr. Gladstone will hardly be such a fnul The hostile feeling B Ohugeant and Green is growing more intense overy day. At Newry great excitement pre- vails among Orangemen and Nationalists. In consequence of the government plac- ing Newry under the peace preservation ac, the Nationalists have resolved to hold a meeting Sunday outside the town. Orange placards have been torn down. Many telegrams have been received from the morth of Iroland expressing the deepest indignation at the suspension of Lord Rossmore's commission as a justico of the peace in County Monaghan, owing to his action on the occasion of the Or- ange and League meetings at Roslea on October 16. A number of magistrates in Ireland declare their intention of resign- ing their offices in consequence of the suspension of Lord Rossmore. The British governmont is said to be making extensive arrangements for wholesale Irish emigration. A recent number of the Dublin Freeman states that confidential circulars have just been issued with suggestions by the Irish emigration committee, and relating to the manner of conducting state-aided emigration, submitted by them to the lolal government board. These sugges- | tions disclose a gigantic and completo schemo for the sw ping enugration of [ the Irish people. There is to be a bureau of emigration in the local government de- partment, with a chief official, a stati of clerks, a troop of inspectors, a brigade of sents at home, and a regiment of agents Boards of guardians rre to be offered all facilities, by advances of money and licenses to borrow money, to abroad, help in emigrating families out of the several unions. Clerks of unions aro pressed into the service, and are to re- coive so much per head for every emi- grant deported, and authorization is to be given to vote them increases to their salarics bosides for their extra trouble, The agents sre to be well remunerated. The country is to be mapped out with military precision for tho efficiency of the working of the plan. Contracts are to bo entered into for the wholesalo deporta- tion with groat shipping companies. There is to be a regular emigration sea- son from January to July inclusive, Local philanthropists are invited to join, The Canadian government is apparently a party to the preparation, The tribunal of Hiognitz, Selesia, has sentenced Herr Giustav Richter, liberal member of the Reichstag for Muhlraditz, to six months’ imprisonment and the loss of his rights and seat as a deputy for hay- ing used insulting language in speaking of cortain of the Prussian princes,his constituting in Prussia the crime of high treason, The remarks were not, it a) pears, made at a public meeting, but in desultory conversations with the clergy- of Muhlraditz, a person named Lemms, which took place as far back as 1877 and 1878, No notice wi Herr Richter's remarks at the time, and it was not until his election to the Reich tag last yoar that the action was brought man taken of by a conservative official at the instiga- tion of the clergyman in question.
