THE BEE PUBLISHING CO,, PROPS B. ROSBEWATER, Editor. A. H. Fitch, Manager Daily Circulation, P, 0. Box 433" Omaha Neb. Srcor RosesoN is for Blaine. Mr. Blaine also has his hard luck. —_— Tur Matthew Arnold hoax proved a regular cyclone in Chicago. It tore the oity to pieces, as it were. GranNy Tierox is publishing in the Herald his reminiscences of Daniel Web- ster. Mr. Tipton will next give us his reminiscences of Noah. ‘W= have no controversy with the pu- sillanimous person who edits the Omaha Republican, We deal with the Repub- lican as a newspaper representing corpo- ration policies and methods, Tue Chicago literary dudes, who have been duped by the Matthew Arnold hoax into saying mean things about *‘the Eng- lish monger or mercer of literary confec- tions,” “‘the apostle from the land of snobbery,” &o , now wish they had never met Mr. Arnold. SiNce February 21st gold to the amount of $21,350,000 has been shipped to Europe from New York and there is more to follow. Pretty soon the able political economists who believe in the old “‘balance of trade” ghost-story will set up a dismal howl over this fact. Currurep Bosron will be slow to be- lieve that the manufactured sensation, “‘Matthow Arnold’s Impressions of Chi- cago,” was a hoax gotten up in Chicago. The criticisms of Chicago are teo good and too palatable for the Bostonians— who continue to revel in the sweot dream that their city is the **Athens of Ameri- ca’—for them to believe that the article emanated trom any other source than Matthew Arnold. Iris hardly necessary for us to give more than a passing notice to the sneers of the corporation organ of these parts about the republicanism of Tae Bre on naticnal issues. During four presidential campaigns . this paper has been an ac- knowledged republican party leader. Its refusal to support corpora- tion henchmen and notorious jobbers, nominated by packed conventions, was in the interest of true republicanism, as understood by [its founders. In other words when allegiance to giant corpora- tions was substituted for allegiance to republican principles and republican methods TaE Brk rejected it as spurious, CuarLes Batrerr, of Ashburnham, Mass , is 96 years old, and in 1846 had his life insured for $1,000. The preai- dent of the company has sent him a check for the polioy on the ground that he has reached the extreme limit of life, accord- ing to the table of mortality in which the company does business, That's the kind of & compangto insure in, In most life insurance co! ies a policy holder has to die in order to got his money. Un- fortunately we cannot give the name of this company, as the paper from which we obtained the information, did not mention {t, probably because it did not wish to give the concern a free advertise- ment, TaE rumor that the Burlington had gone into the Union Pacific triparite pool proves to have been started merely for atock-jobbing purposes. That the dis- patch which was sent from Chicago was untrue is shown by the fact that Presi- dent Perkins, of the Burlington, was at the time in Boston, and Manager Potter was out west with Mr. Holdredge. On the strength of the dispatch, however, Union Pacific atock advanced two points, wkich was the desired result of certain stock operators, who no doubt made con- siderable money on this deal. When it became known that the Burlington had A NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY LAW. The news that the senate, after a de- lay of three months, is at last preparing to move in the direction ot a national bankruptey law is encouraging. It was one of the just cause of complaint against the Forty-seventh congress that it failed to pay any attention to the popular de- mand for this kind of legislation. It may be that the first session of the Forty- eighth congress has sinned away its day of grace, o fat as the nctual passago of such a law is concerned. It is still grati- fying to know that tho united demand of the rooresentative business men of the country has some weight with con- gress. These mon, by the way, do not very often take up the time of congress with their requests, Representing im- portant and widespread interests, when they do ask something as reasonable and just as & national bankruptey law, they deserve some kind of a hearing. The arguments in favor of such a law are in every way very strong. To begin at the foundation, the constitution dis- tinctly prescribes that there shall be a uniform system of bankruptey throughout the country, The wisdom of the framers of the constitution in putting in this pro- vision has been very fully tested by ex- perience. For five years the country has been withouta national bankruptcy law. The opportunity given for dishonest deb- tora to defraud their creditors has been enormous. Trade has suftered from con- stant uncertainty and dread. Different laws in different states—all inadequate — have caused an immense amount of per- plexity and loss. There has been no pro- tection to the honest, unfortunate debtor, and no sufficient safoguard to the credi- tor. The practical effects of the absence of a universal and competent law is shown in the fact that the total failures which in 1880 amounted to $65,000,- 000 increased to $101,000,000 in 1882, and have continued to increase ever since, During the last quarter, as observed in Tar Bek a few days ago, they reached an amount which is really alarming. The increase is due to a great measure to business dopression, but there is no doubt that the invitation to fraud and deception which the present lack of system offers is responsible for a counsiderable portion of it. Even if this ‘were not true, however, the lesson of the increase would remain as strong for a national law. At present almost every failure entails a very large loss upon some or all of the creditors. The oppor- tunity for preferred assignments, and for other conveyances of property, takes away a great deal of the available assets, and the clumsy way of disposing of the rest through the sheriff wastes a great portion of what is left, When it is considered that a well devised national bankruptcy law would save the great por- tion of these losses, the argument to be drawn from the figures of in- crease given above is very plain. The premiumn which the present condi- tion of affairs offers to crime and fraud, is a consideration which is of as much weight as anything that has been said be- fore, At present there is practically no protection against fraudulent statements, Tho transferring of property in view of an assignment, conspiring with one cred- itor to defraud the rest, and many other devious ways of practice, The extent to which such crimes have figured in fail- ures of recent years is enough to open the eyes of any intelligent person to the necessity of a change. Unless a hgnk- ruptoy law shall be passed, more strin- gent laws against these offenses will be necossary . The law of 1867 was crude and ineffi- cient in many of 1ts workings, although it was immeasurably better than no law atall. The law which the senate com- mittee has agreed to recommend, is founded upon careful observation of the defects and merits which ten years of practical experience revealed in the old law. It has received the endorsement of the national board of trade, and of inte)- ligent business men generally, If it shall pass there is every reason short of actual experience to think that it will prove in all respects satisfactory. CALI'ORNIA is & great state, and she is bound to have a presidential candidate in the field, even if she has to hunt up a new man ever time one of her promi- nently mentioned citizens declines the nomination. Judge Field was talked of by the California democrats asa cand date for the presidency, but he declined to enter the race. Next Senator Miller was talked of by the republicas, and he declined. Now the democrats come up smiling again and present the name of General Denver. Simultaneous with the an nouncement that he is to be pushed for the democratic presidential nomination not entered the alliance, Union Pacific | there appears in San Francisco a pam. ‘stock dropped from 72} to 71}, SE——— Tue Sharon osse has demoral phlet w! speaks of his ‘‘life, his ser- General Denver's history, and to learn state incongress ye: tempted to draw & revolver.

SexATOR PAYNE i8 a sly old coon. He is non-committal on the subject of his candidacy for the presidency. When- ever anybody approaches him, Senator Payne takes it for granted that he is about to be questioned as to his inten- tio! nd without waiting to hear what his interrogator has to say, he interrupts him and gives him to understand that he will not talk on the subject of the presi- dential A roporter at- tempted to intorview him the ether day, “I have noticed,” said the reporter, “‘that there is a desire abroad in the land to learn whether or not you"— “No, no,” interrupted Mr. Payne, with an engaging smilo, as ho took up a few inches of slack in the silk cord which confined the ample folds of his gray dressing gown, and cordially opening the door to permit his visitor to depart, *‘I can not talk on that subject.” Asno subject had been suggested the reporter imagined that Mr, Payne had not rightly guessed the object of his errand, and began again: *‘I should be pleased te know whether you are a candidate for the presidency?’ was the modest request. Still smiling and opening the door, Mr. Payne replied somewhat irrelevantly: “If men will chase the shadow for the substance, [ can not help it.” *Having the shadow and substance both at hand,” suggested the reporter, ‘‘I would be ex- tremely glad if you would give me an answer.” “I will not be interviewed on the subject,” returned Mr. Payne. nomination. Jonn P. Irisu, formerly the combined headlight, fugleman and fiery and anti- amendment warrior of the Iowa de- mocracy, is not meeting with very gorge- ous success in California. The people there do not scem to appreciate him. The Oakland Vidette says that they will not send him to congress nor to the sen- ate, and that even his paper, the Zimes, is not successful. He went to the Pacific coast with the idea of accomplishing a political revolution which should land him in some oftice. In this hcpe he has been disappointed. *‘Mr. Irish is effectu- ally stranded upon a strange and un- friendly shore.” The democrats of Ne- braska, who have often listened to the inspiring notes of this gentleman’s polit- ical bazoo with unfeigned delight, will learn of the failure of their favorite with deep but unavailing grief. Tue appointive system, under which New York city affairs are managed, has developed a singular difficulty in the case of Police Superintendent Walling. He is old, infirm and of failing mind. Yet, under the law, he cannot be re- moved without a formal complaint, and his office will otherwise only come to an end with his death, No one is willing to file a formal complaint against the old veteran, and yes the affairs of the police department are being sadly managed by reason of his impotency. It is proposed to pass a special bill through the legisla- ture retiring him upon a pension, There is evidently a defect in the law which does not provide for such an emergency. SvcH trifling and unimportant matters as the bill to revive American ship build- ing and the bill to regulate inter-state commerce were laid aside in the house of representatives in order that such weighty matters as appropriations for new buildings might be discuesed, The burning question of the hour is *‘shall Podunk have a new postoffice ¥’ And in the presence of such a momentous issue the regulavion of inter-state com- merce must be indetinitely postponed. Carrer Harrison, the loud mouthed and offensive blatherskite of Chicago, wants to be the democratic candidate for governor of Illinois. Strange to say the wishes of the respectable people of the state and of Carter for once coincide, though for different reasons. The latter want him to be a candidate so that they can set down on him hard enough to drive him out of sight. Suersve Hawsins, who caused a great deal of the bloodshed in the Cincinnati riots, has resigned. That is, he has re- ned the eolonelcy of the militia regi- He still clings fondly to the office with the salary, You can always be sure that the man without brains enough to ad- minister an officn will fasten himself to it until he is kicked out of it. —— Tuk wife of a prominent minister of Davenport has been detected in stealing numerous articles of wearing appare! and household goods from the houses of her frionds.

An Ancient Foast Which Began Its Cclebration Wednesday. Commemoration of the Deliverance of the Jewish People Ont of Bgypt The feast of the passover, probably the cldest holy day in the world, was cole- brated Wednesday by the Jewith populay tion of Omaha, The feast is purely a ro- ligious one, and dates itself back to the time of the enforced sojourn of the He- brews in the lind of Egypt,and commen- orates the deliverance of the Jews from their bondage. Speaking of this feast The San Francisco Jewish Times of a re- cent dato has this to eay: Wednesday evening, April 9, at sun down, we begin the celebration of a feast that had its ovigin 3,370 years ago. Without any additional reason, this im- mense vists of years would alone suffico to enshrine a holiday, so venerable with age, in the affections of our people. Think of it—3,379 years ago. How shal- low does all lofty rhetoric about Pass- over appear beside the simple fact that it is coeval with the building of the Egyptian pyramids. What strange and wonderful changes in the destines of our race and of mankind has not this feast already witnessed! We might all agree with Emerson when he says that ‘‘great nations are no boasters;” and we might therefore refrain from reciting the mo- mentous consequences to mankind arising from that memorable depsrture out of Egypt. But we proclaim it in a spirit of gratitude, that God’s providence has wonderfully dealt with this people. Thou- sands of yearsago he rescued an insig- nificant Semite tribe from the yoke of bondage, and, notwithstanding His hand has often laid heavily upon them, He has again brought them to honor, and granted them peace and comfort. Where is there a people that God has dwelt with as he has with us? Where among all the na- tions of the globe is there one that has celebrated a feast, in an unbroken suc- cession of ages, during 3,379 years. Giva but the question of antiquity its due weight, and consider that this Passover is the oldest feast we celabrate, and it can- not be looked upon but with a_truly pious and reverential awe. When in the year 1495, before our common era, it was celebrated for the first time by the Israelites on the eve of their depar- ture from Egypt, where were then the proud and powerful kingdoms of to-day? or, whero are to-day those grand aud mighty monarchies of Egypt, Chaldea, or Assyria, that witnessed the rise and growth of the people of Israel? Suppos- ing a prophet or seer should have said to Pharoah, that in three or four thousand years Egypt, with its matchless fertility of soil, would be hopelessly bankrupt and its government dependent upon the good will and funds of descendants of the en- slaved race of Israel, what would he have answered? Well, we are not enough of a seer to say what his exact words would have been, buv we flatter ourselves to possess enough acuteness to know that he would not have believed it. There is no law of na- ture that will satisfactorily explain the simple fact that, despite their unsuccess- ful wars with nearly all ancient nations, despite their unparalleled sufferings among modern nations, despite the hatred, scorn and’ oppression which they reaped from nearly every people on the face of the earth, they are able to cele- brate a feast with the same rites and cere- monies that their forefathers did 3,379 years ago. If the hand of God is not manifest to Jew and Gentile in this mira- culous protection of Israel,then we should indeed give up all speculation on the ways of Providence.
