THE BEE BUBLISHING C0,, PROPS. 8. ROSEWATER, Rditor. ALv the great moral reforms start from Ohio. They have just organized a divorce reform league at Columbus. Tt is evident that reform in that direction is needed in Ohio. His Excewesoy, Mr. Agee, is now governor of Nebraska, in the absence of Mr. Bawes. He ought to distinguish himself in some way. Let him emulate the example of Gov. Hascall, and issue a proclamation congening the legislature, 1f he can’t do that, he can exercise execu- tive clemenocy, and attach his immortal name and the great seal of stato to a fow ardons, (iresnam's report is a great deal bet- than his record,—[ Republioan We sympathize with Postmaster-Gen- cral Gresham. With President Arthur heo fails to come up to the standard of re- publicanism that lins boon sot up by the official organ of the Union Pacifio. Will the Republican kindly enlighten the public as to what is the matter with Postmaster-Genera' Gresham's record 7 Tue Pennsylvania legislature has final- ly adjourned. Absolutely nothing has been accomplished in a six months’ ses- sion, excepting the passage of a ralary grab, enabling members to draw ten dol- lars aday. The average Pennsylvania law-maker reminds us of Colonel Sellers. He is always in favor of the old flag and an appropriatiol Awoxa the various proposed amend- ments to the national constitution, none commends itself better to popular ap- proval, rogardless of party or provious condition, upon the president the power to veto any single item in an appropriation bill, Stupendous jobs are log-rolled through congress, at nearly every session, through omnibus bills which the President can- not veto without keeping congress in continuous session. The proposed amend- ment would enable the president to ap- prove what was justand economical in an appropriation bill ani he could pre- vent reckless waste by simply refusing to sanction what he deemed objectionable. Trk national posey garden, of which Mcr. Loring is chiof supervisor, with the title of commissioner of agriculture, still continues its experiments in raising sugar, although the culture of tea has been abandoned since the famous Le Duc was beheaded. Sofar Mr. Loring has not been able to produce sugar from sorghum or beets for less than one dollar a pound. But that does not matter, so long as the great national posoy garden can supply our cougressmen and sonators with bou- quets in mid-winter, and furnish them cabbage seeds and garden sass at Uncle Sam's expense for home consumption in the spring time Tue democratic Plattsmouth Journal calls the editorial of Tue Bee on Carlisle “powerful and sensible.” Mr, Roso water's endorsement always comes from the democratic journal,— Republican. Sometimes it does, and very often it does not. How about the New York Times, the leading republican paper of the United States, which also quotes Tue Bee, and has editorially expressed its gratification over the election of Carlisle? The Zimes, in its issue of the 4th, makes the following declaration: ““The republicans who are commencing analarmist campaiga for]1884, are making fools of themselves, They are crying ‘wolf' too early, and they have cried it much too orten.” When the editor of The Zimes said that the alarmists who are howling about Carlisle are making fools of themselves, he must have had in his mind's eye the intellectusl colossus who came from Fremont to Omaha to found a new school of journalism and founder the republican party Tae Springleld Republican effectual- ly disposes of the howl which some over- zealous republigeus are trying to ruise over the wlection of Carlisle. Mr. Bowles is a Massachusetts Yankee, without a particle of eentimendal sympathy for the south, He makes the following analy Carlisle, they say, is ‘‘soctional In one sease it is true—he represents all the section. Randall had in the caucus vowes fxam only sixteen sgates out of thir- ty-eight, just a dittle more than a thiid. Carlisle’s support came frow twenty-fuur states out of thicty-vight, Draw a linve north and south alung the weatern boun- daries of Ohio and Alabama, aed it will divide three statesand leavesiztoen states on the weat. Lo all thase nineteon wiates, Just half the Union, Randall gotfive sortes, of which two were from Ternes and ch from California, Indiaus and Carlisle had thirty four vaotes from the north, not counting Missonri, to Randall's thirty-two; counting Missourt Carlisle had forty-five northern vutes To call man thus chosen a sections] gandi dato is the most tranepareat huwbug A man who carries the eutice vore of Wis- | consin, Michigan, Illi Towa sud Mis souri, thirty-two in all, cannot be charged thun the clause that confers | $7,000,000. That vast extent of territory Tias sinco its purchase been left almost | entirely alone, as much so, in fact, asif it had been in Central Africa, Had it been a colony of England or France it would have had some sort of government long ago. No civilized nation would have treated any portion of its territory with such gross neglect. Its boundaries have never been officially defined, and all we know of its population is of a very vague character. In fact all thatis known concerning Alaska is mostly guess work. The information concerning ita resources has been obtained frem adventurers, and no explora ions of any kind have been made excopt in the cxtreme southern portions. The supposition is that it con- tains about 350,000,000 acres. We are told by adventurors, miners, hunters, and whalemen that Alaska has gold, sil ver, copper, iron, and coal; that it abounds in fur-bearing animals, which are proyed upon to a large oxtentby a fur company; that it has immense forests of valuable timber,and that it has extensive fisheries. These resources of themselves should be sufficient grounds for a terri- torial government, under whose direction the territory could be surveyed and ex- plored, and its resources definitely ascer- tained and developed. The main objec- tion to a government has been that the population consists principally of Indians, But had there been a government, there would have been a white population in Alaska years ago. It is not reasonable to suppose that civilized people will mi- grate in any great numbers to acountry enticely without government and law. San Francisco is greatly interested in Alaska and demands that it be given a governmental organization. The trade | that can be derived from that territory will no doubt prove valuable to the City of the Golden Gate. The San Fransisco Chronicle, in treating upon this subject, Bays: “To go no further than making it a judical district would be a bid for signal failuro. There should at least bo a governor to executo the laws, a Legisla- ture to make them and officers to enforce them. If Alaska has not enough civilized whites to fill theso officos, then let that country betacked to Washington territory, its nearest American organized neighbol with an sllowance of representation, and lot the laws of Washington territory gov- {ern it and the officers of Washington | execute and enforce those laws. This | much done, population is sure to follow and then let the United States ki a naval vessel or two there and establish a few forts, with regular officers and soldiers, on the const and on the Yukon river, to protect theso settlers in the business of developing the mines, <he forests, fisheries and whatever agricultu- ral or other resources there may be This city onght to have a valuable trade with Aluska, aside from that of the fur company, yoars ago, and would but for the gross neglect of congress.” Tuk primary olection reform is a mat- ter of slow growth. Only 23,000 repub- licans were onrolled in Now York city under ghe new system of registration. This is loss than one-third of the republi- can vote in New York at the last presi- dontial election. In other words, one- third of the republicans of New York will chooso delegates to the conventions and make tho nominations, which the party as a whole is expected to support, As usual, ths ward bummers, who mako politics a business, have opposed the proposed roform, which, if succossfu’, would take away their livelihood. Ac- cording to the New York Evening Post, complaints are heard from tricts that voters who were prevented hy v, siructic | many dis- wished to enr ous Kinds of ob- 8, and that in many instances thenames of democrats have been put upon the lists in considorable numbers, If the enrollment of democrats on republican register has beon carried on to any great extent the whole scheme of of roform will prove a failure and a farce, Nothing definite will beknown, however, until the district associations have been reorganized and the first primarics under have been held, the their directio T country press, which two yearsago was 80 wrought up over the so-called 'maha riotry, is now boginuing to com- prehe.d to what extromes corporations | can go in furthering their own interests.

It 18 a good bill to be laid under the table. —_— OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. At the eleventh hour, when the French and Chinese dogs of war have been un chained, John Bull steps into the arena as mediator. British commercial inter- esta aro seriously menaced, not only in China but in Victoria's whole Asiatic empire. In fact England has more at stake in a war between France and China than the French, or for that matter, the Chinese. England is in no condition at present to dispatch the greater part of her navy to Chinese waters to protect the interests of her citizens, ata mo- ment when her navy is needed near the Red Sea and on the eoast of Africa. This explams the undue activity of the Brit- ish cabinet in offering to negotiate an amicable settlement of the differences between the French and Chinesc, As a preliminary step toward protect- ing British interests in China, the Ferry cabinet have been notified b ythe British authorities that a blocade of the Chinese ports by French war vessels will not be tolerated. France is thus placed in a rather humiliating position at the out- net, for her helplessness has been pub- lished to the world, and she is seriously crippled in her contest with the middle kingdom. So long as China has reason to appre- hend an assault upon her great commer- cial centers by an overwhelming naval force, there was always a chance that she might reconsider her declared intention of opposing the advance of the French in Tonquin. But if, through the interven- tion of European states, the war is to be strictly localized in the Song-koi delta, China has nothing to fear from France, whose forces are likely to be wastedaway, a8 they were in Mexico, in an inglorious anc interminable struggle. There have been of late many indica- tions that British manufacturers and merchants would not consent to be shut out from the Chinese market merely to further the aggressive schemes of France in Farther India, and it was not to be expected that their protests would be unheeded by a liberal ministry, which represents the industrial as ovposed to the landholding interests, e In a speoch made a fow days ago the Marquis of Hartington acknowledges that the British ministry has received anin- timation that the German government is willing to join with England in protect- ing thoir subjects and interests in China, in the event of a war between Franceand the Middle kingdom. That this scheme of joint action was already known in Paris, and was rightly construed as a threat which could not be disregarded, is clear from the statement made by Pre mier Ferry that it is his intention to confine the war to Tonquin, Thismeans, of course, that the instructions previous- ly sent to Admiral Courbet, and author- izing him tomake a demonstration against Cauton i case the occupation of Bac- ninh should be resisted by regular Chi- neso troops, have been countermanded. Uuder such circumstances France may bo forced to accept England’s mediation ax the ousiest honorable way out of a dilemma, Any faint hopes that the extent of El Mahdi's victory had been exaggeratod must disappear under the contirmatory accounts which have arrived at Cairo. Kl Mahdi’s revolt has gone far enough to convince the military and diplomatic mind of Europe that it cannot be put dewn by the Khedive, The brand of “False Prophet” which has been placed upon him at Cairo, Constinople and Mec- Moccu goos for nothing among the 300,000 swvages who composed tho army, and that army stands in as lictle danger from the khedive as the army of Timour did from that of Bajazette. Kl Mahdi 1s, in fact, the Timour of Africa. His troops are in their congenial climate, Neither Euglish, Fronch nor Ky ptians can follow them T'he fall of Khiartoum, which may happen at any time, will herald the advance of the 300,000 Echeopian savages upon the towns of the Lower Nile, and the proba- ble establishment of a new Mohammedan wwpire upon the ruins of Egypt. The long tinuance of the war by Kl Mahdi is 1ot & question of men, but of food, ard ho can best supply his comis. wary depmtmint by a rapid shifting of " his forces from places scoured and desolated to mnew fields. Tho couquest of Abysinia was easy by com- parison with what will be required to get an army of Englishmen or Turks to the Soudan through a single campaign, The Loss of a campuign or even a single battle would bo fatal to any British ministry that should undertake it, but the False Prophet may lose a dozen battles and still romain in & condition to wage war, for he has a torritory to maneuver in as largo as the Mississippi valley, more than ha'fof it s fruitful as any in the world aud a population intensely bitter against the Euglish, whom they believe to be the iuspirers of the Khedive in the destruc- tion of the slave trade and the whol. sale contiscation of their Jcrops, cattle and other personal properties tor taxes, Nev- ertholess, England will be Literally forced to interfere with an army. Public opin. i, which refuses to permit Gladstone to evacuate Lower Egypt, to be consistent with itself must urge him to action to these terrible Etheopians, And if it was wise policy in Eogland to decline the aid of the Sultan agaiost Arabi Bey's revolt, it wouid be the height of folly to permit tho Sultan, with a thoroughly e jippod Moslem army, to secure & footing at Khartoum, The summary conviction and sentence of O'Donuel( “created a profound sensa- tin in Iroland, The geueral impression was that the jury would either disagree or K in & verdict of acquittal. O'Don- noll's counsel havenotgiven up all althuugh their effort to induce the jury to sign & petition for a reprieve to the crowu was uusuccessful. ‘The majority vefused, taking the ground that they had arvived at the verdict after the most caecful axamination of the evidence, and that they hid had the technicalities of the law fully exploined to thew by the prevent the invasion of that country by | R ~=-OMAHA, presiding judge. One juror told Mr. | Guy that his sympathies throughout the trial were entirely with the prisoner, |but that when it came to rendering a verdict on the absolute merits of the case as shown by the evidence there was no getting away from a verdict of guilty. They insist that the sentimental view of the case was entirely ignored in the jury-room, and that all the members treated the killing as an ordinary case of | murder. They could take no cognizance of the causeswhich prompted O'Donnell, and they were not allowed to go away from they evidence, General Pryor and others of O'Donnells counsel are much chagrined, Among those who have watched the carreer of Mr. Goshen his recent ap- pointment to the speakership of the house of commons will seem significant, because they point to the elevation o this expert tactician to the premiership. Mr Goshen is a liberal, but his financial ideas have often caused him to differ with Gladstone, anda he ocoupies a some- what independeut position. Many were disappointed that he was not given _a seat in the Gladstone cabinet. Like Disraeli, Mr. Gsochen_is of Jewish descent, but his judgement is safer than that of the brilliant tory leader. He was a high rank man at Oxford and rose to srominence first as a thorough-going usiness man. Hp entered politics and the house of commons in 1863, and was even more successful i1 the new field than in business. 1In two years he en- tered the cabinet as vice president of the board of trade, and subsequently hecame president of the poor-law board and the first lord of the admiralty. He is best known in connection with eastern mat- ters. In 1876 he represented the British holders of Eyyptian bonds, and gained a good deal of local fame, and provoked some disfavor by his shrewdness in reor- ganizing the public debt of Egypt. This cunning and diplomacy were later made use of in Constantinople, and it was upon his return to London, after seeing the eastern crisis safely over, that many Eng- lishmen began to look upon him as the coming premier. His integrity of pur- pose was always noticeabie, even back in his university days when he refused to graduate because ho would not take cer- tain prescribed oaths. He cannot fail to nake a clever speaker, although the tech- uical knowledge required for his position is usually mastered by men having no higher political ambition,—something which cannot be said of our speakership. The agitation over the wretched condi- tion of the working classes of London continues. A deputation from the con- scrvative workingmen of London waited on Lord Salisbury Wednesday to con- gratulate him on his efforts to ameliorate the condition of the working classes and tho thorough manner in which he had exposed the wrongs to which they were subjected by the grasping owners of rookeries in which they are compelled to dwell. One other striking and signifi- cant incident of the agitation occurred the other day at a meetng called by Mr. Torrence, who 18 one of its principal pro- moters. Ho recommended emigration as the best remedy for the sores of East London life, but he was cried or hissed down by his audience, who said it was the landed proprietors and capitalists who ought to emiy) When he talked of the poor, they shouted to him tha there ought not to be any poor. Finally, the opposition took possession of the meeting and passed resolutions condemn- ing emigration and demanding the open- ing of public works by the state, and the colonization of England itself, by which one orator explained that he meant the nationalization of the land as the sole remedy for pauperism. Russin is quietly pushing her con- quests through Central Asia in the direc- tion of India. Great Britain holds India now as nakedly as it did u century ago by the tenure of conquest. And what has happened in India 1s what has hap- pened wherever British conquests have been made. There has been no pacifica- tion, no coalescence, no real spread of English civilization, only an extension of English markets and of the area of Eng- lish taxation, If after six hundred years the Irish hatred of England has not abated, in spite of a community of lan- guage and an approach to a community of law, what can be expected (f a coun- try 8o much more remote and 50 much less intelligible to Buglishmen as Dritish India, which, moreover, few Bnglish officials scem ever to have taken any pains to understand. That India is not, like Ireland, in a chronic state ot “'smoth- ered war” is because the natives of India are of a less turbulent and explosive na- ture than the natives of Ireland. Indeed, if India were populated by Irishmen, it would not remain under Britsh rule for a week. But, being populated by a meek and enterprising race, there is no chance that the English will Do dislodged by insurrection, Since they drove the Frénch out of the penin- sula their rule has been unchallenged. But, unless all signs fail, it will within a fow years bo challenged by Russia. When the confiict comes Russia will have the great advantage that in her advance overiand her conquests have been fol- lowed by real pacifications, The peoplo of Central Asia have been Russianized, whereas the peopie of India have not been in the least Auglicized. And this ditterence will count for a great deal in favor of Russia. German politics are decidedly compli- cated. The imperial paliament is di- vided into ten parties: Government conservatives, free conservatives, national liberals under Volk, progressists, ultra- montanes, Polés, social democrafs, rad- and independonts. An cleventh a split from the natioual liberals ~-is now forming itself under the leader- ship of Ricket, of Dantaig. They oppose Bismarck's presont pol The extreme slowness with which com- missions of inquiry in Russia do their work is @ very serious obstacle to any improvement in that country, Such commissions are not notorious for their celerity in any country, but in Rus- sla their pace is of tho slowest description. ~ Eight years ago the an government appointed & com- ion to inquire inlo the condition of the Russian village communities, with the view of increasing, if possible, the powers of self-government and of basing thereon something resembling a national representation. Accordiug to a recent number of The Journal de St, Poters- burg, this commission, after fallingasleep at St. Potersburg for eight years, has just awoke to the necessity of appoint- g sub-commissions in order to com- mence the work assigued to it, An emigration law 18 being prepared in Germany. It is ohiefly intended to put a stop to reckless ewigration by in stituting measures that will prevent oiti- zons from leaving the country before they have complied with certain public nore particularly commuunal and fawily ties aud the relations of service and wor contracted.

Too Many Text-Books, New York Tribune, The multiplication of text-books is a growing evil in our public-school system which should attract the careful attention of 83hool officersand teachers everywhere. Within the past few years almost cvery text book has been developed and ex- panded into a “‘series.” A child is gi at 8 years old a *‘primary’ arithmetic. Next year he is promoted to a higher class and must be provided with an *‘in- termediate” arithmetic. A year or two later this must give place to a new vel- ume bearing the imprint, ‘‘common- school.” Further on he drops this and secures ® ‘‘grammar-school” or ad- emic.” And before his common-school education is finished he must add, per- haps, a ‘‘collegiats” or ‘‘university” arithmetic to the list. Here are four or five books, costing his parents—or the public, underthefree-book system—three, four or five dollars, which he must have it he would keep his place in the arith- motic class. In the grammar, geography and other classes the same system pre- vails, The scholar, during his six or eight years' course, he must provided with from four to six text-books for each study pursued. But this system is not to be condemned because of its cost, though that be burdensome. Cost much not be considered when ntelligence is at stake. The magnitude of the evil is in this fact, that beyond a certain limit, the more books a scholar has to study, the less he learns. In other words, numerous text-books and frequent changes are sub- stituted fcr personal instruction by the teacher; and inevitably with bad results. * ¥ Authors and publishers en- 3 | courage this system; for the more books they sell, the more money they make. Many teachers and school boards, acting as publishers’ agents, encourage it for the same reason. ‘The parents who buy the books, and the children whose search for knowledge is bewildered by a multiplicity of guide-books, but paucity of guides, are the losers. If the money that is wasted every year on worse than useless text-books could be applied to hiring more and more competent and more earn- est instructors, our school system would be increased in real usefulness a hundred percent. ——— Mince Pie.
