ROSEWATER, Editor. Tue Burlington fly refused the invita« tion to walk into the parlor of the Union Pacific spider. A BrAmR paper says the Omaha Belt railway is being run on wind entirely. This is an ingult to Col. Hanlon, general manager. Towa has organized a prisoners’ aid essociation. Nebraska does not need any. Our prisoners generally dig out without the aid of outside: THERE is no prol y of Governor Murray, of Utah, being re-appointed, His Kentucky record has been brought up against him, and he cannot survive it. Tur graveyard insurance business is getting a little too numerous in Nebras- ka, and it bohooves the state auditor to investigate and ventilate some of these concerns. Tur Virginia senate has politely re- quested Mr. Mahone to resign. The great readjuster will probably politely invite the Virginia senate to go to a hotter place than Richmond. Poor CommisstoNer Vining will not have the pleasure of rogulating the trafilc on the Burlington system. Vining's fiat will only pass currentin the Western Truank Line association. Tae house committee on commerce has finally yielded to the persuasive elo- quence of the railway magnates, who will now endeavor to talk Mr. Reagan’s inter- state commerce bill to death. THERE is a good opening for a new bank at Leadville. Eight months ago there were four banks in that city, and within that period three of them have closed their doors for the last time. Tar Second Adventists definitely an- nounce that the world will come toan end on the 4th of next November. This is wrobably the reason why the Second Ad- ventists do not trouble themselves about the tariff revision. Tuere is aYjustice of the peace in Davenport who considers his reputation worth $50,000, and asks the Davenport Gazette to come into court. We should like to see the Omaha justice of the peace ‘who wouldn't with his reputation for one-tenth of t&r un. WHEN the members of the supreme court of Nebraska cannot find a flaw in the proceedings of the trial of a murder, they write letters to the governor implor- ing him to commute the sentence of the assaasin, for fear there might have been some testimony against the poor fellow that was liable to misrepresent his motives. ONLY three weeks ago the officers of the defunct First Nutional bank of Lead- ville published their quarterly statement, which represents that institution to be in perfectly sound condition. The sudden collapse of the bank shows that the con- cern muat have been a wreck at the time the January statement was published, This fact completely upsets the claim that our national banking laws are so perfect that it is almost impossible to ‘conceal the real condition of any national ‘bank for any cousiderable time, S—— ‘Tux marriage of Frederick Douglas at this late day, at the age of 73, would naturally create some surprise, but when is announced that he has mar- shows that ¥Wred Douglas, with sll his sturdy and sterling qualities, that have given him such prominence among his _ race, has degenerated in his dotage, and . lost caste both among whites and blacks. THE STAGNATION OF TRADE. While money is easy, farm products abundant, and manufactured articles of all kinds plenty, thero is a stagnation of trade. The business situation is certain- Iy a peculiar one, under the ciroum- stances, and is somewhat of a puzzle. A similar state of affairs has not ocourred within the memory of the oldest mer- chants of the country. It is explained, however, by the fact that there isan over supply of nearly cverything, and the consequence is that prices are low . | and the demand anything but brisk. The winter is half over, and clothiers, dry goods merchants, and boot and shoe dealers find themselves loaded down with stooks which they have been unable to dispose of, and they are now endeavoring to unlond as fast as possible by offering goods at romarkebly low prices— in fact, at a sacrifice. The leading clothing dealers say that trade has not been what they expect, and in the line of overcoats alone they yet have an immense supply. It must be that the people are supplied for the present with about everything they want, and hence the stagnatien in trade. There has been but very little demand abroad for our surplus of breadstuffs and pro- visions, and the result is an accumula- tion in our own elevators and ware- houses. The British markets are being supplied with wheat from India, thus putting us to the necessity of finding some other market for one of our prin- cipal exports. Until this is done our wheat will not command a very high price,as we raise a great deal more than we need for home consumption. Our farmers will have to do as our manufacturers do —cut down the product for a season or two, and thus create a scarcity which will be followed by a brisk demand. One of the main causes of the over- supply in farm products and in manufac- tured articles is the improved machinery which now does the work instead of men. Farm machinery has been the means of increasing the capacity of producing breadstuffs, and the work of a single farm that formerly required the labor of numerous persons is now done by ma- chinery. Soitis alsoin manufactures, The solution of the over-supply problem now s to create a demand, and so far the only way to make a demand is to gauge the production so that it will be in keeping with the wants of the people. THE REFORM SCHOOL. NeprasgA O1ry, January 24th, 1884, To the Editor of The Bee: DEeAR Sir:—That the Reform school at Kearney sadly needs reforming, is evi- dent from & communication to Tue Ber recently, But it strikes a man up a tree that onr glorious young state has no re- form school at all. Witness the follow- ing circular: Kearney, Neb., January 9, 1884, County Judge, Otoe Conaty: Dear Sik:i—I am directed by the board of public lands and buildings to give notice that no more children can be received at this inatitution until further notice, or until the building now being erected can be occupied. Reapectfully, 8. 0. Muruins, Superintendent. The question naturally arises, by what authority said superintendent issues such & notice; and, secondly, by what color can ho refuse to receive children adjudged to be sent to said school? It is generally supposed youthful culprits are thither sent to effect a radical reformation of character—and by learning a trade(?) en- able them on leaving said institution, to earn an honest living and become respect- able citizens. But your recent correspo; dence dispels this fond illusion,and makes one think thereform schoolis not designed for any such purpose, but as a sinecure for favored individuals, What shall we do with juvenile offenders? Keep them in count; ! Send them to the peni- tentiary! or turn them loose to the iojury of the community, and their own destruction? This is a matter of great social importance and the whole conduct of said institution demands a thorough investigation. Fancy young children being sent to bed in those rooms with insufficient covering—and let run around half clad, and half shod, in the cold of such a winter as this. Bah! Amidst the multifarious appropriations is there no money to be found to clothe, shoe, and furnish bed covering for these poor unfortunates? If there is not, for merey's sako let them return to the several counties to which they severally belong—and disestablish that” misnamed institution—so that if we cannot reform, we be not criminally guilty of judicial cruelty. Yours, ete,, Taos. C. Morean, Oounty Judge. This is a terse and pertinent inquicy, The ofticial organ of the state board of public lands and buildings, in a recent issue, assures the people that the board is well satisfied with the present manage- ment of the state reform school, but if the board cannot provide the ways and means to take propef care of the inmates of the reform school the people are not satisfied with the board, That a commonwealth ke Nebraska cannot fenders, because the funds voted by the legislature for that purpose have been misappropriated, is certainly a humiliat- ing admission, There never has been any difficulty to find ways and means to provide the state officers at the capitol with furniture and supplies, whether the logislature make an appropriation or not, but when an ency arises in a state institution like reform sehool, the state board is suddenly paralyzed and helpless. ¥ E————— Tarmanagersof the Burlington railroad have finally broken off all negotiations looking to the combination of their s tem with the nmew Union Pacific pool, ‘The longer they talked the wider they differed upon the question as to how a fair division of tho traflic west of the Missouri could be made between the Burlington and the Union Pacific and its allios. The interest of the Burlington was manifestly to remain outside of the poll and taky its chances on the trans- Missouri traflic. Wheu this conclusion was reached the conferenco was at end, Wo shall now have some competition accommodate juvenile of- | hoy between two great railway systems west of the Missouri. There need not necos- sarily bo & war of rates, which in the end is more disastrous to the public than to the railroads engaged in it. But there will be better accommodations for ship- pers, and fairor treatment all round. The natural impulse of the people will be to patronize the road that remains nut- side of the pool, and the Burlington will | { start with that advantage in its competi- tion for patronage. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Parliament will conveno on the 5th of Feb- ruary aud the session promises to be one of universal interest. The measure by which the liberal party proposes to stand or fall will bex the oxtension of tho franchise which will place Ireland on the same footing as England and Scotland, While the great majority of lib erals, under the lead of Chamberlain, will insist upon making this the leading issuo, Mr. Herbert Gladstone and a small faction of the liborals are opposed to making a govern- ment question of it, This faction would pre- fer to drop the subject for the prosent in caso the bill is rejected by the house of lords rather than force a diseolution of parliament in going before the eountry, W hether the views of the prem- ier are reflected by his son, it is difficult to ascertain, The proponderance of sentiment in the party is in favor of a more decided course, and it is aifficult to see how the liber- als can avoid standing or falling by it when the measure is onco brought up. There is & prospect of a considerable contest in the com- mora before the measure assumes the shape in which ‘it will be transmitted to the other house. A certain class of liberals will join the opposition and endeavor to have Ireland excluded. While the Irish parliamentary party, under the leadership of Par- vell, * will do what they can to obstruct matters at every tur Such au least is the prosent indication. These com- bined forces will be able to effect delay, if nothing elie. To - complicate the situation of a redistribution of seats will also be brought in. The present mission of the liberal party will not have been fulfilled until it has se- cured the equalization of franchise and repre- sentation, and the removal of all causes of just complaint, arising from discrimination in laws with respect to Ireland. Whether Mr, Gladstone will be able to accomplish these re- forms depends a good deal upon his physical condition, His political life would not be appro- priately rounded out if he did not lay down his management until these things are nccom- plished. If a dissolution comes this session on the franchise extension the return of the liberals to power is alnivst assured, The only strong point tha conservatives can make will be on the blunders in yptian affairs, The situation in Kgypt continues very crit- fcal, Khartoum has hecome tho most impor- tant city in the world to the Gladstono cabi- inct. Whother its garrison is saved or massa- cred, it is the center of political interest of the hour, and it apparently involves the life and doath of the English Ministry. Reports are contradictory as to the chances of the city, but their general pur. port is Elon . Below tne frontier fixed I:y the KEnglish cabinet there aro scattered 43.000 soldiers and as many thousand civilians, Six thousand camels at least would b required to relieve them, and a dollar for avery cent the khedive can afford. Several smail garrisons south ot Khartoum have al- ready been cut off, and the mahdi is reputed to massacre freely. The Nile is blocked both north and south of the doomed city. Hosts of Arabs are_swarming toward it, and inside u good half of the population believe in the mahdi. “Who shall help us? We are desert- od!” aro the words of a letter just ieceived from the town, Baker Pasha, at Suakim, has almost as momentous a task in rescuing the garrison and the women and the children of Sinkat, and the prestige of the for- ¢ign government which is involved in their fate, General Gordon, who is perhaps the most competent British officer to handle Egyptian troops, has been dispatchad to tho seat of war, but it s feared he will come rather late, The change of ministry in Spain is an event of considerable importance, as it probably points to » change both in the home and for- efgn policy of the government. It is the re- sult of the division of the Spanish liberals, on whom the king has lately been relying, into a serles of shades or groups, who cranot be got to agree, The late ministry of Posada Herr- eras was composed of what is called the Dyn. aatic left, or in plain English Monarchical Radicals, But it had to accemplich the almost Impossible task of keeping on good torms with, aud securing for the crown the support of the radical or republican radicals, The king’«speech at the opening of the sesion was made to favor not universal suffrage exactly, but a plan of slightly limited suffrage produced by the Sagasta cabinet in 1882 which would have created a total of 3 014,000 voters, while real universal suffrgge would have created a total of 3,650,000, The differ- ence between the two figures was 8o slight that the minister thought it was not worth preserving, and he accordingly declared for the latter, s alienating the liberal centre, under Sagasta, who will not hear of n great extension of the suffrage even in the moderate form printed in the king's speech, The acces- sion of the conservatives to office in Spain is held, curiously enough, to better guarantee radical and ropublican quistudo than tho suc. cess of Sagasta’s friends who, on account of their lukewarmness, are more fiercely hated than open opponents. 'The army is uneasy, but Alfonso has the reputation of being a man Chinese diplomacy is after all not suited to the peculiar atmosphere of Europe. Accord- ing toa German newspuper, when the Mar- quis Teeng was told that the i'rench expested to make China pay awar indemnity, he de- clared in a vein of sarcasm that Obina was hot fi-t on the road to Sedan. In Germany not a tule amusement was created over this n allusion to the exaction of a war indemnity from France after Sedan. Outside of Ger- many it was thought that the Chineso ambas- r had uttered a smart but undiplomatic response, Prime Minister Ferry, however, has taken the matter so seriously that he has written to the Chinese legation te ask if the | Lati erman roport of the Marquis Tseng's remark is authentic, The reply to this application for information is far more diplomatio than the original cause of offonse, But tho Chinose ambassador does not disclaim the authorshi of the reference to Sedan, He diG not thiu that his communication to the German editor would be made public, and therefore he could not have forescon that he would wound the self-esteem of the French. “All the wever, the French smart under thi and the only excuse of its suthor was given in a confidential communication, The latest dispatches from the west coast of South Awmerica, under date of Jauuary 21, 'contain two brief pieces of intelligence which are very significant toanybody who keeps the run of affairs in that region sufficiently to in. terpret them. The first Is that the Iglesias govenment of Peru has withdrawn its commis- slon of minister to the United States from Senor Villena, who arrived here a few weoks u‘:) and has conferred it upon Senor Elwore, who was delegatad as minister to the United States by the Oulderon goverument of Peru, and was officially received by President Ar- thur on October 13, 1881, and has coutinued be treated in kd upon o belief that as weon as the national assombly which Iglesias has summoned to meet in Lima at the beghming of March to ratify his treaty of peace with Chilo shall have donesghat work the time will be ripe to foment a revolution in the Peruvian eapital which shall put Tglesias to doath or flight and again abolish_constitutional government in Pern and reinstate Pierola as dictator upon the ruins; second, that Iglesias who, by common consent, s about as honest a man as there is in public life in Peru, though by no means so quickwitted as most of the politicians of that country, has disassociated himself definitely rom the Pierolist of “‘national” party with which ever singe his establishment in Lima ho has been slowly severing an intimate con- neccion, and now looks mainly for support to the “constitutional” party, of which the Calderon government, that practically perished with the captureof Arequipa by the Chileans, was the representative. This situation of affairs concerns the United States in varions ways. Among the most obvious of them, 1t may hoiry & dsclsion ‘upon the clalm of the Iglesias government to recognition at | Washington; for President Arthur scarcely can continue to treat Senor Elmore as Por. uvian minister, now that he has accopted a commission from Iglesias, without thereby recognizing the government which he under- takes henceforth to represent; and as the othor foreign powars confessedly are waiting for the United States to tako leadership with regard to recosnition, it may precipitate an acknowledgment of the authority of Tglesias by them all. Tn his transfer of his diplomat- i6 commission from Villena to Elmore, under these circumstances Tglesias displays more shrewdness than has distinguished most of his transactions, The second seasion of the fifth parliament of copies of the daily newspapets, and question. ing them abotit the location of places given in the telegraphic items and other news. The scheme is worthy of veneral adoption, as ¥t increnses the interest of the pnpil in his studies, and gives a wider range of informa- tion than can be acquired from text books. But perhaps one objection to it is that it pro- supposes wide and “acourate information on topica of current interest smong school teach- ers, a supposition not always borne ont in reality, especially among the class of instrc. tors who limit their work to the hearing of recitations and who never venture out of the range of the text books. The Oiled Ocean. New York T'ost. The patented system by which Mr. Shields, of Perth, smooths the broken surface of the sea, is at the present mo- ment being put upon its trials at the 1 to Folkestone Harbor. The directors of the South Bastern railway company have granted the use of their pier to Mr., Shields for his experimonts. On the eastern side of the pier, where the entrance to the har- bor is situated, a leaden pipe a thousand feot in length has already been laid along the bottom of the sea. The pipe is fur- nished with a series of iron branches about two feet in length and some seven- ty feet apart. Each branch terminates in a valve and a brass rose like that of h watering-pot. connected at its shore end with a force- pump placed on the pier. By means of the Dominion of Canada was oponed with a speoch from the throne representod by the governor-general, Compared with similar state papers, the speech, so called, is rather dull. The governor-general regards the com. ‘mercial situntion of the dominion as, on the wholo, stable and prosperous, although, to judge from reports, a large proportion of the peoplo of tho dominion think otherwise; and the Internal Fisheries exhibition in London is alluded to as having beon a potent and offect- ive means of making Canada's resources in tha diroction widely known. The speoch denls in flattering torms with the guvernment's pet, the Canadian Pacific railway, and tho promise is made that the Pa- cific const will bo renched beforo the lapse of thrce moro vears, 1tis suspected, however, that financial matters in_connection with ths company are by no means satisfactory. It is also stated in tho address from the" throne, with apparent satisfaction—what the figures, however, belio—that the number of immi: grants who resolved to remain within the Oa- nadian borders last year was proportionately in excess of that of previous years, 16 makes no protest against pauper immigration, of which Canada, according to all accounts, has altogother more than is desirable or tho coun- try can afford. The speech, on the whole, is not an_embodiment of profound wisdom o originality. Pope Leo XTIT bids fair to earn a high reputation us a statesman as well as an ablo spiritual hoad of the Catholic church. While the negotiations between the Vatican and the Prussian government are going on 8o satisfac- torily that in a short time the world will ses the relations of German Catholic clergy to to the German empire once more placed upon a footing mutually beneficial, His Holiness is endeavoring to arouse a revival in this coun- try,which may have effects of the greatest importance to the church at large. Viewing the constructions which are to be conveyed in the November plenary council in Baltimore merely from a secular point, thoy show high and enlightened purpose. In Russia the clericals and the government aro at each other's throat again; the nihilists have given up the printing press and now em- ploy the hektograph; the murderers of Sudel- kin have probably escaped, and while tho czar and bis ministers are trembling in their skins the general populace of St, Petersburg. is de- soribed as going gayly to tha theaters, as the Parisiana did during the rogime of Robes- the force-pump oil is driven through the leaden pipe and out of the small perfora- tions 1n the roses. The o1l then rises in minute globulesto the surfucd and rapidly spreads over a wide area. On Monday morning a brisk easterly breeze and a strong tide made it rough enough to cause some hesitation as to sending the paten- tee's steam barge out of the harbor. For the first time, therefore, the virtues of the apparatus were tested. Some fifteen or twenty gallons of the cheapest rock oil (6d. per gallon) were speedily pumped into the troubled waters. The effect was magical. In half an hour there was not a sign of broken water.” This ought to be of interest to the Standard Oil company. ———— Extreme ‘Wired Feeling, A lady tells us ‘‘the first bottle has done my daughter a great deal of good, HUEiFgs0 EENYEIbb) ik CreA e now, nor does she suffer from that extreme tired feeling which she did before taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla,” A second bottle effected a cure, No other preparation contains such a concentration of vitalizing, enriching, purifying and invigorating properties as Hood's Sarsaparilla, Tho main leaden pipo is | ¢ " STEELE, JOHNSON& CO,, Wholesale Grocers !

Quad in Drake's Travelor, I am mad at the man on the southwest corner of the block, and he is mad at me, and it’s all on account of nothing at all. We bought a mantel and grate just alike and costing the same price. We had til- ing just of the same pattern, laid down by the same man. For five years we were like brothers. 1f I had a sick horse, I consulted him. We went over to his house to play old sledge, and his family came over to my house to play croquet.
