Do the respectablo mombers ¢f the Omaha typographical union endorse tho viloaud slanderous sheot which is publish ed in the namo of the union asa supple- ment to Sweesy’s hand-bill?

Many of them are excellent mechanics, who pride themselves upon their mem bership in trades-unions and other socie- tics intenaed to elovate and protect the intercsts cf labor, They mean to bo right in all their dealings aund are as anxious as any other to keep up the good name of their craft, Tho condact of a handful of tramps, who misrepresent the Omaha typographi- cal union, tends to bring the good name of the sober and respectable workingmen of Omaha into disrepute and disgrace. These audacious scalawags have taken it upon themselves to use the name of half a dozen and co-publishers of a boycotting sheet, which is eo and filthy that it is unfit to go intoany decent family. Now wo ask in all fairness whether any respectable workingman wanta his union to father such infamous libels? Weknow that the moulders, the boiler makers,' bricklayors, carponters’ and tailors’ unions are, for the most part,com- posed of fair, decent and honorable]men Will they eay to this community that they approve and countenance the resort to malicious defamation, coarse and vu'- gar libels as a means of obtaining redress forany real or imaginary griovance? 1f so the labor unions of Omaha will break up of their own weight. Good, true and res- pectable men will ho ashamed to haveZany followship with them, and the communi- ty at large will feel compelled to stamp them out asa matter of self protection Is it not high time then that the trades unions of Omaha should repudiate this shameful business? Do they not seo tha their good namo is being wsed to pul Railroad. ing Mouse Sweesy's chest- nuts out of the fire? Are the boycotting printers carrying on this war as a matter of principle?

By persuading him that her hair had turned white with remorse and repentance, she secured a commutation of her death sentence—whereupon she removed a wig and disclosed a head of hair of the richest and most authentic brown. Hox. P, F. Mukrny is now mayor of Omaha, In that capacity he can render the city a great and lasting service. There has boen much looseness in the city gov- ernment owing to the failure of Mayor Chaso to fill the appointive positions. Mayor Murphy is now in position to make these appointments and have them confirmed by the city council, Let him step forwurd and do his duty fearlessly and the council will doubtless give him its cordial support. To begin with, let Mayor Murphy appoint a new marshal, “That will not only prove advantageous to the commuuity at large, butit will relieve Mayor Chase himself from a very awk- ward dilemma, THERE are some business men in Oma- ha who ought t» be heartily ashamed of themz:lves.

The Brx makes no appeal for sympathy to its patrons. Tt has stood the brunt of abuse and slander for thirteen years, and has grown prosperous through the vilo attacks of rogues and blackguards, It has mora workingmen on its subseription list today than it had before the prin- ters’ striko. DBub the workingmen of Omaha, whose cause it has championed through good and illreport, cannot allow their good name to be used as a wask for guerilla warfare which would make & Hottentot blush with shame. THE FENCES MUST GO, The case of the United States vs. the Brighton ranch company to compel the defendant to take down its fences, is now ontrial in the United States courts in this city. The defendant is a trespasser on the public domain, having fenced in 52,000 acres. Its fence is 67 miles in length. When this case was brought to the attentior] of United States Di trict Attorney Lamberteon, he laid the matter before the interior department, usking for instructions, andat the same timo recommending that as the Brighton ranch company was a trespaeser, its fences should be taken down immediately by a United States posse. The intertor department, however, adopted the polite, technical and long- drawn method of procedure in cquity, thus treating tho trespassing company as if it actually had somo right in the prem- ises. An equity caso was accordingly instituted, and the dcfendant actually had the presumption to put in an answer with the intention of making a dotermin- ed fight. It was not satisfied with hav ing the benefit of freo grass for its taous- ands of cattle, Inasmuch as the freo grass has made the company thousands and thcusands of dollars it cerfainly is an inconsistent plea that tho lands are worthless, Even if they wore nothing but a lot of eaud hills, they belong to the peoplo and noone hasa right to fence them, There can be bub one just decision in #uch a oase and that is tho fonces must go. The Brighton ranch company, how- over, is not the only trespasser on the pablic domain in Nebraska, There ure about 4 hundred others on a smaller scale and it is about timo that they should be taught that the people have somo ri the tramps who make their living | which they are bound to respect.

Meanwhile the ‘‘city” itself, once the place of residence of nobles and mer- chants, has, in procoss of time, boen transformed into an almest exclusively a commorcial and financial quarter. It has retained its ancient municipal syatem, by which the ‘“‘liverymen” have elected the common council, the trade- guilds the aldermen, and tnese two together the lord mayor. At the present time the *‘city,” cover a modest a of only one square mile, does not contain above 50,000 resident inhabitants, The measure of the homesecretary pro- posos to merge the ‘‘city,” the veatries, the boroughs, and the board of works inton singlo municipal body It makes tho corporation of the city the nucleus of tho new systern, The Lord mayor is still to rule, and to rule over four millions in- stead of fifty thousand citizens; that 1s, his pow are to run throughout the twelve equars miles of the meteopolis. The board of aldermen is to be abolished. The new common council will be chosen trienially, and will be composed of two hundred ana forty members, of whom forty-six wiil be contributed by the Met ropolitan board of works, and the rest,on a basis of equal auffrage, by all metropoli- tan London. The electorate will consist of all ci s who, in a borough, are qualified to be burgesses. The exclusive privilege of the “liverymen” is to be swept away forever, To the new common council will be ac- corded all municipal powers, cxcept those relating o the police, the schools, and one or two minor bodies, The metropol itan police will stillremain under the con- trol «f the home ofiice; and the London school board will still be elected separate- ly, and bo independeut of the municipal body. Mr. Gladstone has a eoufidence as to the safety of Colonel Gordon in Khar- toum which his following in the British iament and in the English press do not share or understand. He meets ev- ery demand for fuller explanations with a reforence to the necessity for secrecy in in the execution of the plans of the gov- ernment, and censures the natural curics- ily, not to say anxiety, of his country- men as unpatriotic and obstructive. He admits that Berber is in danger from the native tribes which have revolted all around it, but assures his hearers that they need have no apprehensions what- ever as to the fate of the more distant and not less threatened Khartoum, Such lofty confidence must have some ground of assurance unknown to ordinary mor- tals, for Mr, Gladstone is not a fool, and ho never has been characterized by ex- cessive audacity or an overestimato of his resources, The worst symptom in the situation is the fact that Colonel Gordon does not share in this feeling that Khar- toum is safe, If he be not misrepresent- cd by what professes to be dispatches from Khartoum itself, he is very much annoyed by tho failure of tho British government to send himsel? reinforce- ments, and is contemplating an cevacua- tion of the fortress us o necessity. A confarence to determine the many doubtful points in the politics and finan- cen of Egypt will conyene in London in June. Only Franco has objected to this proposed oouference, and her objection was not to the priuciplo of the confer- ence, but to the claim of England to limit the scope of the deliberations England wishes the powers to oonfer only upen Kgypt's financal difficulties rance would ouly accept an intition up- 1 the condition that the conference should be considered freo to take up any part of tho case. Apparently this difh- culty hus been overcowe in the true style of tweedledee diplomacy—that is, Bog- land has accepted France's demand as to tho rights of the conference upon the understanding thar France will not make avy difficultien for England under pre- tence of asserting those righte, In a recent debato in the British com- mons, on the Irish magistracy, Justin McCarthy showed the injustice of the present arrangement. Ireland, havin population four-fifths Catholic, has 869 Catholic magistrates to 3,350 Protestant magistrates. The point made by McCar. thy was that nearly all the magistrates wero carefully takon out of ono religious organization avd from a class hostile to the will of the Irish peoplo. No people deirous of fuir dealing and impartislity In the administration of justice can pa. tiently acquiesce in such s ono-sided ar- rangement as this, It is one of those English devices to keep the Irish under, which will before many years be abol- ished. The ocoupation of the b strategeti- cal points in Central Asia by the Russian forces is causirg a good deal of agitation among Briish statesmen, more especially among those who are opposed to the Gladstone policy, The wily Russians are firmly established at the Mery oasiv, within 250 miles of Herat, the “*Key to " ag it is sometimes called; cer y tho key to Afshanistan. The are fully 500 mites from Herat, at Quatia on the sontheast; a0 the Russians have the commonding advantages At Mery they have Persia and Afghanietan oractically ab their merey, and they wiil nud ubtedly, in he courso of time, 8 © Hora. and annex Peraia, leavivg, probis biy, the Kush wountaing to be he southern boundary of their Asistic eompire. Siace 1877 the Russians have been steadily pushiop their way in Cen- tral Awa.

Russia is auxiously sounding the pow- ors as to their disposition to form a league of common protection against anarchists. This is, perhaps, prolimina- ry to the imperial interviews which arc set down for June. Tuusiuch as there is not a country in Europe whiro anar- chism has not recently shown some for- midable signs of life and destructive in- tent,y the czar'’s oler” 18 likely to meet with a consentient caorus. Such a com- bination of crowned heads, however, will tend rather to encourage than dis may the emmissaries of chaos, who will thus find that they have iuspired torror in the paluces. The most cf tive measures which the sovereigns coulc take to root out this dread evil would be to satisfy their subjects with equal jus tice and liberty. Affairs inCuba are still very rebellions. Since the last elections in Spain the Cubans are more than ever dispesed to revolt. The result o1 the lato elections for members of the Spanish Cortes by no means represents the opinion of the country. The best proof cf this is that the autonomists were triumvhant at the last clection for provincial deputies in tho provines of Havanua, the most importany of the wholeisland, and in which the oleotiens are subject to laws much more equitabie than those for the election to the cortes. The triumph of the liberal conservatives has thesefore exasperated the Cubans and everycme else who is opposed to tho Spanish mismanagement. The trinmph of the conservatives was brought about by the influence of the gov ernment exrted in their favor as well as by soveral despica®le tricks to which the couscrvatives resorted and an intriguc which offended the Cubans very much, Under Count Tolstory’s two year’s cen- sorship he has killed nine Russian journ- als. Al foreign papers, with the cxcep tion of the Danish, Norwegian, Hungar- ian and Spanish, have to pass the ordeal of the censorship, and some of them, mostly Frengh, are altogether prohibited in Russia. fEditors of newspapers and foreign_correspondents, «n appealing to the Ministry, are allowed to receive their papers unmautilated but only on con- dition of promising never toshow these papers to any other mortal. Newspapers <o not flourish in Rustia, as may te un derstood frem the fact that in St. Peters burg, with its million inhabitants, there are, besides the two official papers, only threo Russian and two German jovrnals The latter content themselyes with re- peating what their Rusaian contemporar- les say. Senor Zorila, the Spanish revolu- tiomist, is constantly being told to “‘move on.” Like Noah's dove, he cannot find a resting place, A little while ago the Swise politely suzgested to him that he leavo their borders, and now 1t ocour that France told the unfortunai he must “skip”’ if he would avoid expul- sion from the Grrevy and Ferry republic. Of course, Zorilla “skipprd,’” and unless his agitation agitates a litle more than has been the case of late. he will have to keop on “skipping” indefivitely. Earop: has no use for . revolutionist, especially an unsuccessful one. The next French cibinet council will bo called upin_ to decide the question with regard to the retention ofthe French troops at Tonguin until the Chinese gov ernment pays tne indemnity demanded by France. Vico Admiral Peyron is strongly opposed to the withdrawal of a singlo eoldier until the requirements of the French government are completely satistied, The dutch are gruwing daily more hos- tile towarda Portugal because of its as sumption of control of the lower Congo coust on which there are wany dutch settlements: The proposition of Portu gal to establish custom houses at the mouths of Oimgo and_collect duty from Dutch vessels that trade along the rive has been debated upon with much bit- ternees during the past week in the Dutch chambers, and it is believed that Holland will aecide to resist these Portu gueso pretentions even to the point of war, JUDAH P, BENJAMIN, Judah P, Benjamin, who has just died in Paris, was in many respeots one of the most romarkable men of our times. In hia lifo there is much which reminds one of the career of Beaconsfield, Mr. Ben- jamin never achioved the greatness of statesmansh p which his other abilities would seem to warraut, bub as a lawyer and advooate he had few euperiors in the world, Whon Boujamin first csme to Now Ocleans he was met by very much tho same narrow feeling which Heacons field encontared whan entering politice in Eogland; he was taunted with beiog Jow and Jooked down upon as unworthy of the consideration which his abilitics deserved.

Ho had been very severe in the debate and had charged Benjamine with beinga Jew. It was then that Benjamin rising in his usual «implo but earnest manner opened his speech by saying, that “‘the gentleman had called him a Jew, it was true and he was proud of it,”” Then in a burst of in- dignant oratory he said: **While my an- cesters were battling with the Maccabees against the impoerial mistress of the world for their libartivs, hisancesters (pointing to Hunt) were feediug swiue in the wilds of Scandinavia and were no better than the brutes they fed.” This was received with much applause and no one from that me ventured into personalities. Bonjamin, inthe height of his practica was supposed to make in New Ocleans from sixty to seventy thousand dollars ayesr. He had few enemies. Every- body that met him loved him, and the only serious antagonist, it is said, that he had was a civilian named Roseiius, against whom Benjamin, at times, dis- pluyed feelings of joslousy. There is a story told that one day, while walking down_the street with John R. Grimes, ono of the greatest lawyers of that period, and who, by the way, originated the fa- mous Gaines suit, more than fifty years ago, & noise was heard n the court room 48 though some one was making o groat argument. Colonel Grimes inquired of Benjamin who it was that was making ne speech, and said, ‘‘there must be some great question involved.” “Oh,.” ys Berjamin, *‘that sounds like the voice of Rusclius, he is taking a judgment by default.” Benjamin waslooked upon in his social relations as a man of a kindly heart, and he was liberal with his hand to the poor to the poor and needy and to the charita ble institutions of the city, even to his own detriment, The most remarkable feature in Benj man’s carcer was after the collupse of the confederate government of which he had been latterly its secretary of state when he made his escape from this coun- try to England, Those who were intim- ately acquainted with him say that he arrived in England without any monoy He began to practice law in a country where the system was totully different from the state in which he had been rear- cd. He had not lived long in Emgland when through the influence of Lord Cairns and others, he was admitted to the nar and subsequenily became Queen’s coun- sel. It was said that this was the first mstance of a stranger having that honor conferred upon him; but » great deal of his success must bo attribut- ed to the fact that the Roshchild’s and Beaconsfield must have also helped him m his advancement. In New Orleans Bonjamin had been for many years the lawyer of the great benkers, and was known to them by reputation He had also been unquestionably in com- munication with the Euglish government which all through our civil war sympa thised with the confedercy and being sec vetary of state, of course Beacontield had often heard of him, So when he went to London he was not as friendless as many would have baen. His great abili- ties combined with the assistance of these friends gave him immediate position which few can hope to obtain. Then he had been born in an Engllsh possession and tho ugh always coneidering himsel! an American yet, still he remained a sub- ct of Great, Britian under the doctrine mes and Englishmen always an Eog- lishmen.” With his great success in London every ono is familiar. He became a very great lawyer there and is said to havo received one of thoe largest fees on record, wmount- ing to over a millicn of dollars, It is ot because Americans are partial to him that he ttained so much of a reputa- e fon but his intrivsic abilitics were oonized by the members of the i bar universally. When the late Ju Clinton Brivus was in London he was told the same thing for on his return to Omaha when asked a8 to how Bemjamin stoud in England, avswered he heard him wrgue a case before the privy council aud had made inquiries among ~the lawyers 48 to his posf ion there and they all con rred that he was at the head of the Loglish bar, When we thiuk that a stranger might 40 to that vast city and live theve for f iy years and attempt to practice law with out going through the ditferent degrada tions which the lawers of the place are accustowed to and that one might remain there, it may be, & lifo time and yet be unheard of, though possessing strone abiliries, his wonderful success can weil be appreciated. Benjamin nover much, his later years a work on selos which is an authority used universally by the pro- fossion, was given to the public. The Jews of this generation can feel proud of the fact that in tho acpartments of statesmauship, law and finances they have produced the greatest characters of the ago The nawes of Beaconstield, Benjumin and” Rothschild will be the central figures of those branches, when the historian records the salient events of the cantury.
