CHAPMAN, the tall sycamore of Plattsmouth, can't see where the connec- tion between McCrary's successor and Tabor’s nightshirts comes in, in case Manderson should be appointed to the vacant judgeship. If S8am. could only step into Manderson's senatorial brogans he would probably out-do Tabor in the reckless extravagance of $250 nightshirts, TrE county commissioners, with the assistance of Howard B. Smith,have con- cluded their examination of the accounts and official records of the late Judge Chadwick. Everything relating to his offize is found to be in perfect shape, all entries being fully made down to the hour of his death. The balance he shouid have on hand as county judge, amounting te over $11,000, is found to the cent, on deposit in the Morchants National bank, ‘When it is considered that during his term of oftice he has handled, in his offi- cial capacity, upwards of $60,000, it is «uito remarkable, in view of his sudden death, that his entire accounts can be so readily checked up, and balance so per- fectly with the amount to his credit in bank. The showing made is a credit to the deceased judge, and is one which other officials might well strive to emu- late, The advent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad into Omaha is an event of the most momentous import- anpe to this city, 1t marks an epoch in the history of Omaha which makes her one of the great railway centers not merely in name but in fact. Now that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has crossed the Missouri river with its solid Ohicago trains into Omaha, and thus this cityits terminus, it is enevitable that the competing roads from Chicago and St, Louis must run into Omaha as a matter of self preservation, Tt is now only a matter of a few weeks at most when these roads will follow the Burling-' ton into Omaha, to compete with her for #he constantly growing traffic of this city, The transfer problem, which has been a ‘bone of contention for over ten years, has at last been solved by the natural laws of commercial demand and supply. After a struggle against adversecombinations, be- gotten through the greed of Sidney Dillon who sought to build up a rival city at Spoon Lake, Omahs has, by the in- dustry, energy and enterpriss of her peo- ple become a great commercial center, which railroad combinations can afiord no longer to ignore. A city witha pop? ulation of over 50,000 and a commerce larger by far than many cities of double her population, affords a profitable field Aor railway competition, and the shrewd amanagers of the Burlington have taken the initiative in bidding for her patron. age. While recognizing the fact that the Burlington road has becn actusted in its oourse by business principles, Omaha ~cannot but feel grateful and the Burling- ton can rely upon her good will and patronage. To the citizens of Omahs, and espec- ially to the property owners who have staked their future upon the commercial supremacy of this city, the advent of the Burlington af. fords an assurance of permanent pros- . Xt puts beyond all doubt the fu- greatuces of Omaha. The railrosd - transfor within iteelf may bring us only ~ transient commerce. At Spoon Lake the grati- ey e i, THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA, SATURDAY, MARCH T ——————————— 8, 1884, REV, JOE COOK ON HIS MU The many Omaha friendsof the famone Rev. Joe Cook, who listened with #o much ploasure to his lecture in this city about threo years ago, upon his re- turn from his trip around the world, will bo surprised as wellas pained to learn that that gontleman has so far forgotten him- solf a8 to Iay violen® hands upon a brother minister. Any one who is acauainted with the Rev. Joe Cook ¥nows full well that the provocation must have been great. It is indeed a satisfaction for us to be able to inform the triends of Rev. Joe Cook that the provecation for the exercise of his muscle upon a brother ‘of the cloth was of no ordinary character, otherwise the assault would mever have occurred. The scene of the unfortunate affair was in the quiet old New England town of Keene, New Hampshire, whither Mr. Cook had been cslled to deliver a locture, He had promised the Rev. Mr. Price, pastor of the Congregational church, to attend a prayer meeting atthe church before he should deliver his lec- ture. Mr. Cook, exhausted by travel, repaired to the quiet of his room in the hotel to recuperate his energies by a brief nap., It was understcod and agreed that Mr. Price should call and wake Mr. Cook at 7:16 p. m. Mr. Price, forget- ting the delicacy of the situa- tion, rapped at Mr. Cook’s door at 7:074 p. m., just seven and a half minutes ahead of time. Mr. Cook thus rudely aroused from a refreshing slumber, sprang from his bed, opened the door, 'and adminis- tered to the umortunate Mr. Prico a severe but merited threshing, and at the same time using lond and boisterous language, attracting to the sceno the in- mates of the hotel, who at first supposed that Wheeler, the champion wrestler, and Fletcher, the butcher, two local celebrities, had met by chance and were settling an old grudge. When the true state of affairs was learned considerable astonishment was manifested among the bystanders. Mr. Cook, who had evi- dently taken lessons in the mauly art from Professor Longfellow, of Boston, excused himself on the ground of justi- ficatiqn in that he had been rudely de- prived of seven minutes and a half of much needed sleep, whereupon the peo- ple of Keeno generally expressed the opinion that he had at least reasonable grounds for the assault. Mr. Cook, however, being a man of his word, at- tended the prayer meeting, after which he delivered his lecture. Mr. Cook has since been obliged to appear in print to defend his assault upon the Rev. Mr. Price, who he says merely wanted to use him as an advertisement at the prayer meeting. Mr. Cook in his card says that Rev. Price pounded on the door loudly, and continued to pound, although requested to desist. It was not until Mr. Cook foared that Mr, Price would break the door down, that he got up and went for him then and thereina manner that would have done credit to a Sullivan, It appears that the philosphic Joseph had been recently troubling his mind over the deep and intellectual questions, “‘Whatisa what?”and ‘' Whatis aJdouble- face somewhat!” It is no wonder that, under the heavy mental: strain, caused by the study of such abstruse questions, the Rev. Joseph should become angry at the loss of seven minutes and a half of sleep. The moral of this interesting incident is—never wake a sleeping lion, and give Joe Cook all the rest he wants, Tuxr Philadelphia Press thus intro- duceh the new governcr of Idaho to the people of that territory: ‘‘The nomina- tion of our own Judge Bunn to the gov- ornorship of Idaho is notice to the red- skins and Mormons of that benighted territory that they will have to walk mighty straight, or be everlastingly spanked on the Philadelphia plan. The opaqueness which has hitherto blurred the moral and political atmosphere of glorious Tdaho must g AN IMPOSITION EXPOSED, The check of lightning-rod agents and iusurance men is proverbial. Some months ago the managers of the Iowa and Nebraska Insurance company had an advertisement with its prospectus and a very flattering, high-sounding puff in- werted in this paper, setting forth its al- leged ndvantages and stolidity. After this advertisement appeared in Tue B the manager of the Iowaand Nebraska Insurance company, knowing well the high standing of this paper among the business men and farmers, had the audacity to have it republished in nearly all the weekly papers in Nebraska and Towa as an original editorial endorsement from Tur Bek, In other words, a great puff, written by the lightning-rod calcu- lators, was caused to be published in Tug Bek as an advertisement, for no other purpose than to be palmed off in other papers as an endorsement for which Tue Bre was editorially responsible, thus putting Tux Bee in the position of a backer and endorser of a concern of which we know very little, When our attention was first directed to this shrewd confidence game, we supposed that it would never be attemp- ted again, and gave the matfer no fur- ther thought. It appears, however, that the managers of this company, finding it profitable to quote Tur Bex as authori- ty for their high sounding statements, have again resorted to the same unsory. pulous trick, An advertisement which wasinserted in Tug Dainy Bek of the 20th of February, with the state auditor's certificate of compliance with the s utes, is being quoted as an original edito- rial from this paper. Now, we feel com- pelled to disclaimany responsibility in this conneetion, as we know nothing about the management, financial standing, or- reliability of the Towa and Nebraska in- surance. It may be all that is olaimed for it, or it may not. Our columns are open to advertisers, but we do not want advertisements quoted as voushers from us in any respect. No reputable advertiser will take un- due advantage of the privilege of using the advertising columns of a newspaper, and by a trick make that paper respon: sible for statements of which the editor had not the remotest knowledge. Tur members of the iowa legislature are never at a loss for a speech on any subject. This is accounted for by the fact that a *‘gentleman of education and exporionce” advertises in o Des Moines paper, that he prepares, at short notice, addresses for or against prohibition, woman suffrage or any other subject de- sired. His terms are 85 for a ten min- utes’ speech and §2 for each additional five minutes, ‘‘satisfaction guaranteed and confidence observed.” Judging from the numerous speeches that have been madeduring the'present session, this versatile manufaciurer of addresses has been extensively patronized. OTHR LANDS THAN OURS, ation to hold out against the extension of franchise bill—provided it passes the commons—to the extent of compelling an appeal to the country. The abolition of primogeniture and entail is talked of, freely as something which is so sure to come in good time that it is_not worth while to make an agitation about it. There can be but one ontcome in the end to the great parliamentary struggle which has just been formally started, The present house of commonsimay pos- wibly goto pieces on it, if 80" the noxt one will insure the adoption of the meas- ure. The wheel which is once started in this direction never turns back. It is interesting to note in this connection that the Parnellites are reported as pleased with the present bill, and as being ready to support it. The oplnion is universal among all classes of Irishmen in England, rich and poor, moderate and extreme, that the re- cent dynamite outrages endanger Irish lives far more than English; that even if succossful they will result in the death of ten Irishmen for that of one Englishman and will arrest all Irish reform for years, The tories already use dynamite as & strong argument against the reduction of the franchise in Ireland, and Lord Salis- bury will probably be backed by English opinion in throwing a measure which, according to the calculations of English and Insh, liberal, conservative and nationalist alike, would give Mr. Parnell ninety followers in the next parliament. The opinion is universally expressed that The signal defeat of Osman Digna's forces by the English troops under Gen- eral Graham puts a new phase on the situation of affairs in Egypt. The.insur- rection in the neighborhood of Suakim broke out last August when Tewfik Bey, the governor of Suakim, went to Sinkat, where he remained a prisoner, owing to the place being besieged by Osman Dig- na, until his gallant death at the head of a sortie. Osman Digna's hordes have since then defeated Baker Pasha's expedition for the relief of Tokar, and the entire country between Suakim and Berber was practically under Osman Digna's rule. After the surrender of Tokar Osman Digna rallied around his banners over 15,000 men, and of these it is estimated that not less than two thirds were routed in the battle near Teb by General Graham's forces. Itwas expected that General Graham would, after reoccupy- ing Trinkitat and Tokar, follow up his victory and give the rebels pursuit. The British war office has, however, ordered him to retire to the coast after properly taking care of the British and other for- eign inhabitants that deserved his pro- tection. In its Egyptian policy the English government has made a complete dis- tinction between Egypt proper and the Soudan, while at the same time insisting on the retention by Egypt of the Red Sra coast, It was distinctly stated that the reconquest of the Soudan would nov be attempted, while tho coast line would be rigorously held. Thus it happens that England promotes the mahdi to be sultan of Darfour while she gives battle to his lioutenant at Teb, Although the Glad- stone cabinet has been materially streng- thened by the success of Gieneral Graham, the Egyptian policy is being severely as- sailed by the tories. Sir Willrid Lawson, radical, made a violent attack on the government last Tuesday, charging it with cowardice, blood-guiltiness, butchery and jingoism. Gladstene replied to the strictures of Sir Wilfria Lawson, and jus- tified the policy the government had been pursuing. Ho asserted that it was neces- sary to hold Suakim for the present, in order to keep down the slave trade. The Marquis of Hartington said in the house of lords that it was not a proper timenow to indicate the future policy of the government in Egypt. The main and immediate object was to secure the safety of the remaining Egyptian garrisons and provide for the safety of Suakim, which was threatened. Since the defeat of his Iimltonmtg Osman Digna, El Mahdi is mot quite so bellizerent as he was before the battle before Teb, A telegram from Khartoum says that - [ ballots. Thejbouse of lords still remains, El di hes forbidden sheikhs on the White Nile and Blue Nile to advance to Khartoum or provoke hostilities. Four hitherto hostile sheikhe have submitted to General Gordon, El Mahdi 1eceived General Gordon's letter naming him sultan of Kordofan, with ecstacies of delight, and gave the messenger who brought him the letter a robe of honor, Mr. Gladstone's extension of the fran- chise bill has passed its first reading, Its consideration and enactment will form one of the most prominent chapters in the history of that era of British reform which was inaugurated in 1882, It is made a government measure, and the ministry will stand or fall with it. The question wus one ef the issues of the campaign in whick the present house of commons was elected, and the dominant ty is mecessarily committed to it. The object of the bill is to place the franchise in” the counties upon the same basis as that in the boroughs, or, in other words, to place the agricultural laborers upon an equal footing with the manufacturing workingmen, At present pecuniary qualifications are required in the coun- ties which are not required in the bor- oughs, where the restrictions amount to little or nothing, The conservatives wiil oppose the re- form as & matter of course., Lord Ran- dolph Churchill has iver the key-note ot their position in" his declara- tion in parliament that the agricultural laborers had no knowledge of political questions or concern in them. The lib. eral platform is that the people are to be trusted, and the more implicitly they are relied on the stronger will be the constitution, The issue is the regular old-fashioned one of the growth of popu- lar power as op, to the conserva- tion of privileged classes. The bill will remove the principal berrier that now oxists toa practical democracy in the | ¢, United Kingdom. [ts enactment will make representation in the houso of commons virtually as extensive as that in our ocougress. Scarcely any but veritable paupers and the oriminal classes will be denied the but has reached a point where it contines itaelf to merely retarding the progressive legislations of the co.nmons, and submits when the pt*ulu will 18 unmistakably expressed. There is some doubt, even s Lo whother it will have the determi an appeal to the American government by Lord Granville is now certain, Sir Arthur Wellesley Peel, who suc- ceeds Mr. Brand in the honors and emol- uments of the speakership of the house of commons, is the youngest son of the late Sir Robert Peel, who was twice premier, and was born in 182). He was educated at Eton and at Baliol college, Oxford. In July, 1865, he was returned to the house of commons for Warwick, and has continued to represent that bor- ough in the liberal interest ever since. Hs firat oflice under government was the secrotaryship to the poor law board, which he held under Mr. Gladstone's ministry, from December, 1868, to Janu- ary, 1871. He was then made parlia- mentary secretary to the board of trade, but withdrew from that position in Aug- ust, 1873, to become the patronage secre- tary to the treasury. This functionary is popularly known as the “‘whip” for the munisterial party, and he is paid $10,000 a year for the responsible and trouble- some task of keeping the ministerial members up to their work. He retired from office in February, 1874, on the downfall of the first Glad- stone ministry, and was made under sec- retary for the home department when Mr. Gladstone resumed the premiership in April, 1880. He was, however, forced to retire from this office at the close of the year on account of ill health. The present baronet, Sir Robert Peel, elder brother of the new speaker, is without a | > seat in the house of commons at present, having been defeated as the conservative, candidate for Gravesend in July, 1880. He is a political freelance, liberal and conservative by turns, and is always changing his politics, He was such a spendthrift in earty life that the premicr baronet, who had paid tens of thousands of his debts, tied up his estate as tightly as possible, and left his heir and name- sake in a state of chronic impecuniosity. In the race for wealth and honors he will be distauced by his younger brother, who will have $25,000 a year as speazer and the speaker’s house to live in, and will be made a viscount and given a pen- sion of $20,000 a year for two lives when he gets tired of the speakership. England has asked Russia for an ex- planation of the recent events by which | % the Morv Oaats has been added to the | Russian possessions in Turkestan. It might have been well to have inquired first of all whether the imperial govern- ment was aware that anything was about to happen in that province, before it re- ceived the news of the annexation. The civil and military authorities in Turkes- tan have been very much in the habit of acting without reference to those in St. Petersburg, and of waging wars and making conquests which were as much a matter of news to the Czar as to one of his neighbors, The recent discovery of a deficiv of one hundred million roubles in the accounts of the provinces is quite & charactoristic incident of their manage- ment. It is reported that England by way of retaliation means to annex Beloochistan, tho region lymng between Afghanistan and the sea. ~As it is a country almost destitute of agricultural and mining re- sources, and has only the scantest vopu- latlon, it would not be much of an addi- tion to the territories of an empire. And few as ita people ure they have shown more than once their ability and willing- ness to be troublesome to invaders. Russian movements have chiefly at- tracted attention abroad, and are all held to point to a feverish desire for being on good terms with everybody. The down- fall of Tchernaieff, the great leader of a vigorous and anti-English policy in Cen- tral Asia, is meant to atone for the seizure of Mervy, while the state visit and the gushing specches of the Grand Duke Michael and General Gourko at Berlin, destroy for the moment the last hope of & Russo-French combination against Ger- many., The czar is getting courage, has attended a big review and driven daily through tho streets of his capital, while his wife dances for hours at a ball every night with the freshness of a girl, or, Emrhnpl, the frenzy of overstrung nerves, 'he strict fast of Lent has put an end for the moment to all this, and the im- perial couple are expected to confine themselves during the holy season n the somber seclusion uf Gatchina, A very interesting serios of statistics as to the population of France, apart frem the quinquennial census, is being issued by the ministry of agriculture, the object of them being to obtain anapprox- imate estimate as to whether the total number of inhabitauts in France will be greater or leas at 'the close of the century than it is now. The figures so far worked out tend to prove that there is hke:‘ to be a decrease in the population, for though the population }::m 1800, when the population was 29,107,425, to 1872, there was an annual increase of 38 per 10,000 inhabitants, that increase has since dropped to 26 per 10,000, There 1a reason to believe that the rate of in- creaso is still further declining, and that 0o are not upon an average more than two ohildren to each family. The re- turns also state that out of every 100 inhabitants of Paris only 36 are born in the department, 57 coming from the proviuces, and 7 from abroad. More- over, while the number of births remains friendly communication to the czar ‘‘con- gratulating him upon the accession of the Merv territory,” and, of course, in the congratulations there is A promise of all the contingencies they imply. Notwith- standing the professed friendly relations between the sovereign of Great Britain and the shah of Persia, and the gush with which the latter was received on his Eng- lish visit some ten years ago, the fact is the sympathivs of the “shah” were never cordial for the patronizing power. Thete was always suspicion of British treachery at Teheran. It may be observed that the Persian army has been disciplined by British officers and in the British sy A fact not to be overlooked in poss ties. Cardinal Manning, who has been ap- pointed a member of the committes of nquiry into the cendition of the Eng- lish working classes and the character of their dwellings, has very radical ideas of the dutj~of the government in regard to them. At a meeting of the Shop-Hours Labor league in London recently he elo- quently upheld the right of the state to interfere between employes and employ- ers. He quoted with approval the state- ment made by the. younger Pitt to the Nottingham weavers as to the duty of Klrlinment to interfere in their be- a) UG | ¢ erliamem be not sit- ting,"” sail Pitt, “‘parliament must be aalled together for the purpose of finding a remedy for the evil; and, let no man tell me that parlia- ment cannot do it, for parliament is com- petent to redress the evils of all that suffer.” After his indorsement of this declaration the cardinal may be counted on to make radical recommendations in behalf of the *‘outcast poor.” Since the commencement of work on the canal the population of Aspinwall, Panama, has suddenly increased from 1,600 or 2,000 to 8,000 or 10,000, and building has extended into the swamps, where there are no streets graded.
