ROSEWATER, Editor Mzx. Huenirr, of the Northwestern, is the author of *‘Hew it to theline, let the chips fall where they may,” Tue tripartite combination is not a blind pool. It has to keep both eyes ppen on Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. Ir the now pool should rid Omaha of the great Union Pacific cowashed Omaha would be satisfied with the tripartite pool tinkers, s THE great pool game is still in progress with the Union Pacific struggling to hole the fifteen ball. But the trouble is that Manager Clark has no Q" to play with, ‘W have not heard anything more con- cerning thelately rediscovered Lost Cabin mine. The man who saw millions of free gold was probably afflicted with the jim-jams, Orark has hitched on the Rock Island Cable to pull the Northweatern into the Union Pacific whirlpool. If that Cable should snap in the middle the conse- quences might be very serious. Rev. W. Mirouens, o Boston glorgy- man, has been sent to an insane asylum for stealing a book. Had he been a sec- ular gentleman, mstead of one of the Hub's divines, he would have been sent to jail. SeNATOR SABIN turns out to be a kicker, and that explains why he has twenty- eight pair of boots, He ‘is kicking against enterprising journalists, who are said to have reported’ him incorrectly. He has a big job on hand. Tae widow of Iliff, the cattle king, has married the Methodist bishop, Henry ‘W. Warren, of Georgia. The bishop, however, will not move to the Colorado ranch, but will continue the good shep- herd of his Georgia flock. Mrs. Iliff has simply gone from cattle to sheep. e— GoveaNor Inwiy, of Idaho territory, is & model official. He has . declined to acoept a quarter's salary, amounting to 80660, as he has been unable to attend to his duties on account of illness. He evi- dently has a conscience, His action is commendable, ‘but he probably can afford it. He will now receive $660 worth of compliments. p— THE common people are always found to pay every dollar of tax levied upon them, but the great corporations com- promise their taxes for thirty-three cents on the dollar. The suit of the state of Pennsylvania against the Western Union Telegraph company for $147,000 taxes on stock dividends has been compromised, the company paying $50,000. EE—————— A Nxw Yorker made $30,000 by bet- ting that Union Pacific would drop to 75 during 1883, and he now bets that in 1884 it will decline to 50, and that in 1885 the road will pass into the hands of a receiver. He basos his bets on indica- tions upon an alleged conspiracy on the part of Gould and associates to depre- ciate the stock and wreck the property. 81. Louss, having experimented with wood, asphalt, granite and other paving materials, has come to the conslusion, after trial, that fire brick make the best streets for all purposes, enduring as long as granite, or longer, and affording bet- ter foothold for horses. The Kansas City Journal ssys that there is, in fact, 00 little travel on the streets of St. Louis that almost any kind of paving material would last a generation, ———— WA Wasmiyorox dispatch states that H, 0. Lett, superintendent of the stone de- partment of the Union Pacific railroad company, is there in the interest of Col- orado sandstone, with a uiow to its intro- duction for building purposes in the east, and has samples of the stone at the Smithsonian institute. It may bea great deal easier to introduce Colorado sand- stone for building purposes, than for pav- ing, unless it may be it cities where pav- ing rings have absolute control and the press can be subsidized into silonce. JThat sandstone quarry in Colorado seems to be a white elephant on the hands of thering. —— Tuene is a great hue and cry from the monopoly organs all over the country SUGGESTIVE FACTS, The people along the Atlantic sea- board, and especialiy those of New Eng- land, pride themselves upon being way ahead of the poopleof the west in the mat- tor of law and order and public morals. They labor under the delusion that the people west of the Mississippi still live in a nomadic state, bordering on aborigi- nal barbarism. This idea prevails more especially an regards our wostern cities, which are grouped together as so many Leadvilles, Durangos and Deadwoods. Facts are stubborn things, and a compari- son of the crime record in western cities, with that of the towns and cities of New England with equal population, would dispel this delusion and afford absolute proof that the people in these cities are just as law-abiding as those of any other section of the country. We have before us the annual report of the city marshal of the city of Springfield, Mass., which we take to be a correct exhibit of the moral status of that New England city. Springfield has a population of about thirty thousand, or nearly twenty thousand less than Omaha. Springfield has twenty-eight policemen, while Omaha has less than twenty., During the year 1883 there have been 1,620 ar- reats in Springfield, according to the city marshal’s report. The total number of arrests in Omaha, during the past year, will not be over 2,000, which isa less number in proportion to the population than Springfield. In Springfield there were 1,003 arrests for drunkenness, which shows that for sobriety Omaha is the equal, if not the superior, of that citv. Tramps are more numerous in Springfield than in Omaha, the former city having lodged 1,588 in its station house, while Omaha has housed only a few hundred. In looking over the marshal’s report we find that it presents as great a variety of offerises as can be found in any western city. The number of arrestsin Spring- field is cortainly very large for a city of that size, but it is not unlikely that every other New England city or town is pro- portionately infested with crime. We have every reason to believe that our western cities will show a cleaner record than most cities of the east in nearly every instance, Our sommon schools are the equal of any in the country. Our churches are numerous and afford every opportunity for religious worship. Our morals are of asa higha standard as those of any other section in the United States. 1t is a great mistake for eastern people to suppose that such cities as Omaha, St. Joe, Leavenworth, Atchison, Topeka, and Kansas City are frontier towns, whose population is largely com- posed of the rough element. These cities have long ago assumed the metro- politan airs and the cultured refinement of the east, one of the main causes being that our population is largely composed of the better class of eastern people. Another interesting fact is learned from the marshal's report of Springfield, and that is that of the total number of arregted persons 835 were Americans and 785 were of foreign birth, 'Hitherto the cry has been that the criminal class was composed almost entirely of foreigners. This delusion is effectually exploded by the exhibit from which we have quoted. CaRrnisLE's committee on commerce is a political daisy. Barksdale, the Missis. sippi bull-dozer, and Reagan, the post- master general of the southern confed- eracy, are men who ought to be put any- where else than in the management of the commercial interests of the nation as represented in the house,—Republican. 1f Longstreet, Mosby or General Gor- don had been on this committee, the Union Pacific organ would not feel 8o in- dignant, What has the war.record of Reagan and Barksdale to do with the question of regulating inter-state com- merce? Is not Reagan competent to draft a bill to prevent railway extortion and discrimination? OTHR LANDS THAN OURS. Great Britain has experienced a lull in | the crown prince of Germany to Rome political affairs during the holidays,which are more generally observed in the Brit- ish Isles than in any other portion of the globe. While there is a temporary sus- pension of excitement during the recess of parliament there has been no lack of exciting sensations through dynamite explosions and the alleged discovery of terrible plots. Parnell's Dublin speech has had a marked eflect upon the liberal leaders. Not only has Chamberlain, who is very radical, pronounced himself in favor of the suffrage in ‘Ireland, but Forster, the inveterate enemy of the land leage, now declares that Pernell and his followers will have no grievance to make capital out of, as a liberal reform will include Ireland equally with Englaud and Scotland. Forster inclines to the opinion that an extension of the sufirage and a readjustment of the representation should be two distinct measures, the lat- ter being left to the enlarged constituen- cies to settle through representatives of their own chosing, It is on this point that the tories probably will concentrate their attack on the policy of the admis istration. Whatever course Mr. (ilad- sto locts to follow they will be sure to discover was not the wiser of the two, Just now, however, Gladstone and his cabinet have their hands full with the complications that have arisen between war, The capture of Soatay has aroused the French to a pitch of enthusi- asm that will brook no interfer- ence and ‘t is almost certain that an offer of wmedistion by Great Britain on bebalf of China would be summarily spurned and rejected by the French Chambers, The forced departure from Paris of the Marquis Tzeng, who has gone to London in obedience to instruct. ions from the Chincee emperor, only complicates matters, China has as yot that congress has been thoroughly organ- ized to disturb business inall its branches. “I'he business of the cormorants who huve from the producers and industrial classes by unjust laws will doubtloss be seriously " disturbed by the present congress. Un. less the Huntingtons, Goulds, Vander- bilts, Villards and monopolists of high and low degreo can buy up, bribe, and majority of the wembers, the Frauce, and the French flhtmc!.ly' VoW Mg made no declaration of war against|portion of that they are not waging war against China but are merely seeking the ocou- pation of the delta of the Sangkoi to pro- tect their collonial possessions in Asia. There can be no mediation where there is no war, and therefore Lord (iranville and the diplomats are at sea. Matters evidently grow worso rather than better in the southern dependen- cien of Egypt. The reinforcements sent into the Soudan are so insufficient that the European officers in command enter tain no hopes of making headway against El Mahdi and his black myriads. Eng Jand refuses to undertake the suppress- jion of the rebellion, and advises the Khedive to accept the assistance the Porte has offered. And the Khedive, knowing that Turkish assistance means his own reduction to the rank of a mero pnsha, threatens to resign, if he be not supported more vigorously by his westorn masters, All this is the outcome of a policy which sup- pressed the true rulers of Ezypt in the interests of the Shylocks of Paris and of London. Wae see nothing better to do than recall Arabi Pasha and make him khedive in place of the imbecile now in power. He at least would inspire some religious enthusiasm into the resistance to Kl Mahdi. At present that potent force works altogether for the rebels. The peaceable and hard-worked Amer- ican missionaries of the United Presby- teriap church are involvad in these troubles by the accusation that they have been stirring the Copts to resis- tance. It is undoubtedly true that as in Bulgaria the American missionary influ- once has worked to make the native Christians more independent and self- respecting. Butit has not worked to alienate them from their country or their Moslem countrymen. Their sympathies wont with Arabi Pasha in the recent truggle, as did those of the Egyptian people generally. They are no doubt excited by the prospect of an invasion of Egypt by an army of Moslem fanatics from the Soudan; but this excitement is one which a sensible gevernment of Egypt would use for it ewn benefit. Tt is the misfortune of the khedive's gov- ernment that it takes everything by the wrong handle, It is reported that at an expense ‘of 233 men and thirteen officers, and after two days’ hard fighting, the F'rench have captured Sontay; but, like the Russian ruducflion of] Pluvr;l;, it is a capture work- ing indirectly to the glory, and perhaps to the instruction, ofgth;ydafsntes. TE@ resistence encountered at Sontay makes apparent that even Chinese soldiery can fight on the forlorn hope; and that, if the French advance is to be similarly contested, inch by inch, the invaders have no holiday work before them. But meantime the success at Sontay has be of immense moral value to the admin tration, in uniting on therepublican min- istry, for the time heing,all complections of that at all times most complex set of R‘henomena —French home politics. 'here is one element of the French character which philos- ophers have surrendered any hope of ever undentmding. and can only accept as a fact—the rapidity with whicg all personal differences of opinions among Frenchmen can be merged into enthusiasm by a gle fortunate coup. The present war of annexation in Asia is, as everybody can see, a like experiment for anchorage of his administration on the part of M. Grevy, and, so far, a successful one. The victory at Sontay, remote and insignif cant as it is, has been to the Grevy ad- ministration what Egypt was to Napo- loon. It has sileniced criticism, and for the moment united Frenchmen. A re- ulse would have had the reverse effect. ut, so far, the result is all that M. Grevy can desire. Under spur of the Sontay success even such malcoutents as Victor Hugo have for the time being become administrationists, ‘What passed between the German crown prince and the pope, during their long interview at the Vaticdn, has not been divulged. To those, however, who recall the relations of the Prussian mon. archy to the papacy during the last thir- teen years tg: fact that such a visit should have been paid atall is fraught with undeniable mgnificance. The at- tempt, indeed, to represent the tender of respect and good will made by Prince Frederick William as a mere formality will seem absurd when we consider how easy it would have been to arrange a meeting with King Humbert at Florence or Turin instead of at Rome. Either of the first named places would have suited the Depretis cabinet much better, for there would have then peen no occasion to give the world emphatic proof that the Culturkampf is over. The visit of brings into light once more the quarrel between the government of Italy and that of the pope. Germany, as formerly Prussia, is the only Protestant power which maintains an embassy at the papal court, The visit of the crown prince therefore has an official character with relation to both pope and king. Russia seems to be fast reaching a point where only three courses will be open to the government, a war, a consti- tution, br a revolution, The revenue steadily falls off, revolutionary opinions spread and are S:niug from the house- hold troops of the emperor through the lfll.lg, ‘while the provinces are beginning to show the dangerous interest in a na- tional assembly which has hitherto only appeared in St. Petersburg and Moscow. A war would be the natural refuge of the emperor; but the only power with which Russia can fight is Germany, and a con- test with Germany is almost hopeless when the Emt empire has Austri ?:;rih ally and the states are all anti- Ruseian, An unsuccessful war would be the end of the Romanoff dynasty, and a revolution could do no worse. A consti- tution remains as difticult a step as ever. No preparation has been made for it in the fifteen years of nihilist agitation, and 10 man is wise enough to say what spirit will rise when the emperor ventures to break the seal which has so long confined Raussian liberty, A peasant revolt, a mu- nicipal mob in the two capitals of the empire, or the rule of the most corrupt oftice-holders in the world—any one of these may come. Still it ap, clear, as rumors multiply in m a new China sud France through the Tonquin| constitution, that Alexander has returned from his wisit to Copanhnfen in & mood to issue & constitution—if he can break through the palace ring to do it. ‘The people of the island of Jamaica are getting very tired of government with. out u{tmnhfinn. The British govern- ment has no desire to insist upon the truent plan of colonial management ut if an elective government is re-estab- lished in Jamaica there is no doubt the mother country will provide that the negro population shall ‘u\ o the right of sullrage and a share in the management of atlairs, to be determined by the pro- +Lsland In that case we shall negroes to the whole body of the experiment which is being tried on the grand scale iu the United States tried on a lesser scale in Jamaica, It is doubtful, however, whether the white population of Jamaica, much as they de- sire to get rid of their present political arrangement, will take kindly to the en- franchisement of the negroes. Between a cabinet which inclines to the loft and a majority in the cortes, led by Sagasta, which inclines to the right, King Alfonso’s lot is not a happy one. 1t the cabinet be compelled to resign its successor may be left without a majority. 1f the cortes be dissolved and anew elec- tion held, the next cortes may prove more unmanageable than the present. The best thing poor Alfonso can do is to follow the examplo of his great predeces- wor, Charles V, and resign. He need not go into a convent, like Charles, but there are a good many pleasant places in Europe where he can settle down and livo unvexed by the harassing caros of state. It required fifteen conturies to raise the population of Paris from 8,000 under Julian, in the latter half of the fourth century, to 1,000,000 in 1840. The ter- ritory of the city was no more than fif- teen hectares, or 150,000 square metres, in the time of Ciwsar, and thirty-eight in the reign of Julian, while in the thir- teenth century it had expanded to 263 hectares. It was troubled, under Henry LV., with a population of 200,000 souls, having taken three centuries to double itself in that respect, whereas it was trebled between 1788 and 1860, the re- spective totals at these two dates having been 650,000 and 1,700,000. It now ex- ceeds 2,000,000, et O'Dounell was the third man whom Bartholomew Binns, since his appoint- ment as Marwood’s successor, has put to death, Nature seems, however, to havs marked him out for an executioner, for when he was a soldier in one of the Eng- lish regiments which suppressed the In- dian imsurrection in India, three desert- era were sentenced to be hanged, and Binns drew the unlucky number, which made him the instrument of the law. One of the condemned men he said, ‘‘was the finest corporal he ever saw,” but *‘duty had to be done,” and so Binns hanged him. C e —— 0ld Testament Revision, New York Times, Although the revised edition of .the Old Testament has not yet heen publish- ed, it is already known that the revisers have corrected a large number of mis- takes—chiefly of the nature of mistrans- lation—which exist in the authorized version. Some of these corrections have been made public, and they will somewhat surprise those people who have been accustomed to believe that the translators of King James' version shared the inspiration of the Hebrew writers, The revisers have remorselessly de- prived Joseph of his ‘‘coat of many colors,” For that extraordinary piece of atchwork, popularly supposed to have E«en put together by Jacob himself in leisure moments, is substituted ‘‘a tunic with long sleeves.” This was doubtless a more serviceable garment; but the dis- appearance of the coat of many colors robs the story of Joseph of a share of its Eictumquenuu, and for that reason will o presented by the publishers of illu- strated scripture stories for the young. Tardy justice is done to the hippopota- mus by the revisers. Hitherto that well- conducted beast has been represented as the most thirsty and conceited of ani- mals. The authorized version says of him that “‘he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not; he trusteth that he can draw up Jor- dan into his mouth.” It was manifestly a poetic exaggeration to e the hip- popotamus with the habitual drinking up of an entire river; but the assertion that the beast felt confident of his ability to draw ulp the Jc;l“glxdm in:fi hr mouth was uivalent to cl ing @ hippopotamus :qlth idiotic self conne%t‘ It l?owP:p that Job never used this objectionable language in regard to the hippopotamus. He merely said: “Though a river swells he is not afraid; fearless though Jordan washes to his mouth.” That is to say, the hippopotamus is not in the least afraid of being drowned, and has no ob- jection to bathing—facts which are as in- contestable as they are creditable. Many sermons have been proached upon the passage in which Isalah is re- presented as speaking of ‘‘chariots with flaming torches,” and the preachers have usually interpreted the passage as a pro- phetic description of the modern locomo- tive engine. No more sermons of this nature can be preached, if the revised Old Testament becomes the authory version, for in it the e in question reads ‘‘chariots with flashing steel.” The woods which inlsaiah’s time were full of “‘satyra” and‘‘dragons’’ have been entirely cleared of those undesirable beasts by the revisers, and are now inhabited only by harmless ‘‘goats” and noisy but innocuous *‘jackals”,” The ‘‘nation scattered and peeled whose land the rivers have spoiled” was certainly in a very wretched condition,ac- cording to lsaiah’s description. Tobescat- tered and to haveone'sland spoiled issuf- ficiently objectionable,but to be ‘‘peeled” in addition and then placed at the mercy of ready-made clothing merehants is morg than any nation could bear. The revisers have done much for this hard-used nation by turning it into a ‘“‘nation tall and shaven, whose land the rivers divide.” These samples of the work of the re- visers will startle conservative people, for they suggest thau the revised Old Testa- ment will differ from the authorized ver- sion-much more widely than the revised New Testament differed from its prede- cessor, If it isa better translation—as it doubtless is—it will make its way in time, but there are people who will bit- terly resent any change whatever in the sacred volume, e — Logan, Arthur and McCook, George W.

A Great Event in the Clerical Lite of Cardinal M'Closkey. As the memorable ovent of the golden jubilee of Cardinal McCloskey approaches, Catholic societies in the city and state are making preparations to offer various demonstrations and marks of esteem to his eminence on the auspicious occasion, On the 12th of January next the Oardinal will have attained the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. The principal_clergy of the archdiocese re- cently held a moeting in St. Agnes’ church to consider the most appropriate means of making the ocoasion memorable in the annals of the church in this city and state. Tt was resolved to present an address by the ¢’ iay to the Cardinal on the eve of the celebration. An address will also be presented from the laity of the diocese, There will be a pontifical high mass cele- brated at the cathedral on the 12th, which Lwill bo sung by the senior archbishop of the diocese, assisted by the cardinal him- self. The memorable gift to be presented on the occasion to his eminence in consider- ation of his great services to the church will be a pulpit of gorgeous design, which will cost nearly $10,000. A compiment- ary dinner will be tendered on the day of the celebration at the catholic orpham asylum, Cardinal McCloskey was born in Brook- Iyn in 1810, and graduated from Mount St. Mary's College, Md. He was ordain- ed priest in 1834, after which he went to Rome for the purpose of completing his studies. He became pastor of St. Joseph's on his return to New York, and in 1841 became first president of St. John's col- lege at Fordham. He was appointed coadjutor to Archbishop Hughes in 1844, and bishop of Albany in 1847, He be- came archbishop of {Xew York in 1864, He has been one of the most successful workers in the church, especially in the promotion of worthy charities and charit- able institutions, while he has been care- ful to promote the best interests of education, both religious and secular. Among the durable monuments of his energy may be mentioned an industrial school for destitute children, an institu- tion for deaf and dumb girls, a home for aged women, a German hospital and an institution for the aged and infirm. He was created cardinal-priest of the Roman Catholic church March 15, 1875, under the title of Sancta Maria supra Miner- vam. The last and greatest work under the supervision of the cardinal was the completion of the great cathedral which his eminent and beloved predecessor, Archbishop Hughes, began. e =, A Novel Hotel. Hotel Mail, Speaking of the new hotel to be built in St. Louis, a gentleman from that city says it will have accomodations for 3,000 persons. It will be the largest hotel in the world, but will not design to do transient business, as really its position will unfit it for that kind. The hotel will beforthe accommodation of those families and persons who wish for the accomoda- tions and surroundings of a comfortable home but do not find them in the ordi- nary flats or boarding houses of this city. The prices will be 80 varied that a man may be able to live there for 25 cents or $26 a day. It is not a wild scheme, but a business affair, and, though laughed at, I intend to carry it to completion. There will be a table d’ hote served in the din- ing room, where 2,000 boarders can be seated at one time. There will also be a restaurant and cafe, which I believe 'will be more hfiely patronized than the table d’ hotel. Meals will also be served in private dining rooms, as there will be floors divided into suites on the same plan as the French flats. The hotel will also be placed upon ground 110 feet above the level of the river, and from the und one of the finesi views of St. uis is obtained. The main entrance will be on Grand avenue. On the north and south of the office will be public rooms, barber shop, reading rooms, lors and other adjuncts to a otel office. Adjoining the office on the east, in a large courtyard, will be the conservatory,serving as a pas- sage to the east wing of the building, in which will be a promenade corridor, sur- rounded by a ladies’ ordinary restaurant, confectionary, private dining rooms, club rooms, some apartments and the dining hall and the ball rooms. The courtyard will be 95 feet wide. The billiard roorns and bar will be in the basement and $10,- 000 will be allowed for their decortation. Other games, such as tenpins, etc., will be on that tloor, and in one.part of it will a | be a kindergarten and children’s rooms. The building will be 054 feet front, 245 deep; will be seven stories high at one end and in the middle and five at the other end.
