He has been on the decline for some time, [ Tae King of Portugal is to start a newspaper. There will be no trouble, hereafter, for him to obtain railroad passes and deadhead theatro tickets, Tucsk daily newspapers which persist in publishing horrible wood cuts of noted persons ought to be prohibited by law from general circulation, and their pub- lishers indicted for libel. Cnartes Francis Apaws says that “‘Cleveland and Carlisls” would be about the correct thing. Tue Ber moves to amend by inserting ‘‘George Francis Train and Susan B, Anthony.” Tue Episcopalians of Nebraska are now again looking around for a successor to the late Bishop Clarkson, Dr. Worth- ington having declined to accept the bishopric, a fact that is generally regreted by all who are aware that he is a very able man. Tue Boston stockholders in Union Pacific, Mexican Central, and other western railroads, have suffered enormous losses by the recent depression of stocks. They have the stock on hand yet, but the losses have caused the holders to make a re-estimation of their property. Karser Winaeim has conferred the Order of the Golden Fleece upon Prince Henry. If Jay Gould should visit Ger- many, he would have no trouqle in hay- ing the order of “*fleece” conferred upon him. He can teach Kaiser Wilhelm several lesons in tho mysteries of that order., A vVERY extensive strike is liable to vccur among the 7,000 shoemakers in Philadelphia and Camden. They demand an advance in wages of nearly 20 per cent., which the larger manufacturers say they will not accede to, A fow manufac- ‘urers on a small scale are willing to allow the increase, but the heavy manu- facturers say they will hold out three months if necessary. Tae city council is doing a great deal of work, and really has more business than it can properly attend to by holding meetings once a week. It ought to meet at least twice a week, and the members ought to receive more pay for their ser- vices. At present they receive only $200 a year, the compensation bethg fixed by law. There is no honest and competent man who can afford to bea member of the city council and properly attend to busi- ness on any such pay. They all do as much work as the county commissioners who each draw from $1,200 to $1,500 a year. Deavry Suerivy Prokerr, of Saunders county, went to Rich Hill, Missouri, to arrest Foll, one of the principals in the recent prize fight. He has returned without Fell, because he thought it un- heal:hy to attemptto arrest him, as ho was working in a coal mine and surrounded by a party of his friends. Deputy Sheriff Pickett believes in the old adage that dis. cretion is the better part of valor, He ought to have taken with him the*‘Wahoo Rangern,” and other companies of the valliant Nebraska militia, and a jackass battery. Taesk is a lively contest going on in New York between Governer Cloveland and Roswell P, Flower for the demo- cratic presidential nomination. Flower is making & formidable fight with his bar'l. His latest victory is the carrying of the three districts of Westchester county, in which is Mr. Tilden’s home. The delegates were instructed to vote for Tilden first, and in case he retired from the race, for Mr, Flower second. Tilden having shelved himself, the dele- gates are now for Flower, Tilden's re. tirement narrows the fight down to Cleveland and Flower in New York, and, of course, it will now become more inter- esting from day to day, —— Tuz act passed by the recent Kentucky legislature prohibiting the ale of illus- trated police literature in that state, went | o¢ magnificent opportuniti into effect on Tuesday, and hereafter the police papers will not be sold in Old Ken- POREIGN LAND GRABB The question of foreign ownership o lands in the United States is attracting 8t., | considerable attention not only at the hands of congress and politinal conven- There has grown up a strong sentiment against except Sunday' The | 4}, yeatem of absent landlordism, which is to be established in this country, and o[ bocomo a threatoning danger. Now is "[ tha timo to nip the evil in the bud, The ownorship of lands in this country should bo dependont on citizonship, and the # 5| plank in the republican national platform covering this subject is very timely, as it i in responso to a popular demand. Congressman Lore, of Delaware, recently submitted tv the house a state- ment showing the quantity of lands owned by aliens and non-residenta so far as he was able to ascertain their holdings. While the list is incomplete it shows that 20,747,000 acres held by aliens and non- residents. In New Mexico the Holland land company owns 4 500,000 acres; in Texas an English syndicate owna 3,000, 000 acres; in Florida an English syndi- cate has 2,000,000 acres; in Mississippi another English company has 1,800,000 ucres, the Marquis of Tweedale has 1,750,000 acres, a London company has 1,300,000 ncres, and a Gorman syn- dicate 1,100,000 acres. Among other large foreign land holders are Lord Dunmore, Lord Houghton, Lord Dunraven, Marquis de Mores, and a_host of other foreigners whose lands are in Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado, Utah and Montana. Most of the alien land owners never intend to im- prove and occupy these lands themselves, but use them either for immense cattle ranches, or hold them for speculativopur- poses, or rent them out to tenants, thus establishing a system of slavish tenantry, which prevails in Europe, and which would only sap the life-blood out of this country for the benefit of landlords resid- ingin London and Paris. Bona fide set- tlers will forover be barred out, and avail- able land in the United States will be- come very scarce for the farmer who wants a home of his own. Of course the evil already done cannot very well be un- done, but it can be checked before it pro- ceeds to any greater extent, and congress should lose no time in legislating upon the subject. BLAINES RELIGION. There has been considerable said from time to time concerning Mr. Blaine's reli- gion, and just now tho subject is one of particular interest to the peopls. It has been believed by many that he is a Cath- olic, but this is not the fact. It is true that his mother was a Catholic, but the fémily was brought up as Protestants. Blaine's ancestors, on bis father's side, were Presbyterians. Mr. Blaine himself is a Congregationalist. Last March the subject was agitated in republican ciroles in Pittsburg, and at a gathering,called‘‘the meeting of the com- mittee of one hundred,” held March 27, the following letter was read by the chair- man; Avausta, ME., March 24, 1884, My Dear Mr, Briggs: Yours of the 21st reached mo this evening and I now husten to answer, Mr, Blaino is & member of the South Parish Congregational church in good and regular standing. Has boen & member of said church for twont; yours. T was in church and saw him take an subscribe to all tho vows of the church. His wifo is also & member of the same church and also ono of his childron, He is o conatant at- tendant on all of ita moetings when he Is in Augusts, Is one of the most liberal givers, When the church was built he gave more than any other person toward ita erection, If his gnomios cannt vtart u story” with any more than thero is in this_thoy will Yours, not make much headway. H. 8. Osaoon. OMAHA noeds a city hall building, a suhstantial fire-proof structure, centrally located. The mannerin which the city business is now conducted ought to be tolerated no longer. The offices are lo- cated here and there in buildings that are nothing more nor less than fire-traps, and the city's valuable records aro in constant danger of destruction by fire. Particu larly is this the case with the records in the city olerk's office. The building in which it is located is occupied by all sorts of persons and for all sorts or purposes. In one end of the building there has act- ually been a carpenter shop full of shav- ings, and the wonder is that it hasnot burned down long bofore this. In anoth- or room there is a paint shop with a lot of combustibles. The city council should immediately take steps toward provid- ing for the erection of a suitable city building to include the various city offices, fire-proof vaults, a po courb room council chamber, city jail and other ac. commodations SucH a thing as the administration of oven-handed justice in this country is becoming a very rare eveut. Tilden G, Abbott the defaulthg bank cashier, of Watertown, Massachu. sotts, has been sentenced to eight yearsin the penitentiary for steal- ing about $50,000, Had he stolen a half million or a million, as several bank officers have recently done, he probably woula have escaped punishment as they have. Abbo't's sentence, however, is very light compared to that of George Moore, of Delphi, Indians, who has been sent to the penitentiary for two years for forging a note for four dollars. The Delphi jury probably felt nothing but contempt for a man who would do busi ness on such a small scale in these days Noau Havaes SwAvne, ex-justice of tuck, Several southern ststes have|the United States supreme court, who passed similar bills, and in this respect | died in New York on Sunday last, at have set a worthy example to their nor- | the age of eighty years, was a native of thern sisters.

In 1862 he was appointed a justice of the United States supreme court by President Lincoln. Tn 1881, Judge Swayne re. signed his seat, and received & pension cqual to his salary on the bench. Ir was through the Irish delegate, Alexender Sullivan,president «f the Irish national league of America, that the clause was inserted in the platferm denouncing country.”—Springfield Republican, The plank in the republican platform denouncing the foreign acquisition of Jand in this country ls doubtless very satiafactory to Irish Americans in general and Mr. Sullivan ‘in particular, but it was not inserted in the platform at the instance of Mr, Sullivan, 1t is a matter of history that Sonator Van Wyck Is the first public man who has actively opposed the acquisition of vast tracts of land by foreign syndicates and aliens, The plank in the republican platform on foreign landlordism in the United States was drawn by the editer of Tur Bek, at the request of Senator VanWyck, and it was inserted in the platform by the efforts of Hon. N, 8. Harwood, of Nebraska, who was a member of the committee on reso- lutions, Maixz will elect a governor and a leg- islature in September, and, this being presidential year, a very full vote may be expected. In recent years Maine has voted as follows in September: In 1876, republican plurality, 15,444; in 1877, re- publican plurality, 12,338; in 1878 the republican vote was 56,619, the demo- cratic 27,872, and the greenbacker 41,- 404; Garcelon, democrat, subsequently being chosen by tho legislature; in 1879 the republicans wero again in a minority, and Davis, republican, was chosen by the legislature; in 1880 Plaisted, fusion, had 169 plurality; and in 1882 the plurality of Roble, republican, was 8560. Thus there have been changes enough in the popular vote of Maine to give the canvass of this year a peculiar interest. Jusrice F1eLp, of the supreme court of the United States, who has presidential aspirations, muat certainly feel mortified at the action of the democracy of Cali- fornia, where he makes his home. Tho platiorm adopted by the California dem- ocrats contains a resolution repudiating Mr. Field antl pledging the delegates to the national convention to vote against him. He had expected to mecure the support of the California democrats on the ground that he was the only man who could carry the Pacific coast against Blaine. Field was originally a republi- can and was appointed to the supreme court by President Lincoln. He is now a democrat, and and a monopolist of the worst kind. — Ir is regretted that Dr. Worthington, of Detroit, has declined to accept the election to the Episcopate in Nebraska- The Episcopalians will now have to look around for another bishop. At the recent council, when Dr. Worthington was elect- ed, Dr. Thomas, of St. Paul, Minnesota, received the next highest number of votes. The council meets again on Juue 25th, and wo should not be surprised to see Dr. Thomas elected. —— A B100RAPHICAL and critical paper will appear in the July Manhattan on the Earl of Dufferin, written by J. L. Whit- tle, the Earl’s intimate friend, and one of the staff of the lord chancellor of England, The earl became so well and favorably known in the United States, while ho was governor-general of Canada, that an articie about him ought to inter- est a large number of persons in this country, Youxa Mr, Roosevelt, the fresh New Yorker, who is achieving considerable notoriety in politics, now denies that he ever had any sach interview as was sent out from St. Paul, He states that he may have said that he opposed Blaine for publio reasons, not personal to himself, Dr. MitLer has been to the state peni- tentiary to visit Hanley, the bruiser, He found Hanley pounding rocks, and told him to be cheerful. Hanley ought now to bear up cheerfully under his three years’ sentence, and after its expiration return to Omaha to carry the primaries for Dr, Miller, Tuar BraINg appreciates German cul- ture 18 shown by the fact that he educat- ed his son, Walker Blaine, at Hoidelburg, Young Blaine speaks an elegant German and regards his stay in Germany as the most joyous period of his life, Ir was a narrow escape for Dr. George L.

Tue declination of Tilden Siamese- twin death to Hendricks, When Chang died Eag had to follow nuit. —— Now that Tilden is out of the way, the WEST OF THE MISSOURL The Nebraska Central railroad has been rovitalized and there now appears reason- able ground for the belief that the road will bo built. The English capitalists whose movements have been very myste- rious, have subscribed for the entire $15,- 000,000 stock and deposited 10 per cent of the amount in oah, This means business from the beginning. As long as three woeks ago Tir, Brr had very posi- | tive information that the construction of i o o d that Vi Poreiin Noquiaition. of 1and i ChiK| oot Lou UG HEQ Been lob artl SR work would begin as soon as the subscrip- to the stock had been made. The con- struction of thia road will be second to no other event in the history of North No- braska., Starting in at the northern line of Burt county it will follow the forty- second parrallel line through the state, crossing Ouming, Stanton, Madizon, An: telope, Wheeler and Loup counties, and the unorganized territory. In Wyoming it will cross the heart of the cattle graz. ing country. It is belteved connaction will oventually be made with the Central Pa- cifie, or more likely with the California & Nevada railroad now being constructed across the Rocky mountains. 1t will bury the northern branch of the Union Pacific, which Sioux City has been nurs- ing in congress, and the ambitious me- tropolis of northwestern lowa must be coutent, like Omaha, with a plug connec- tion. The bill for a bridge at Decatur having been pacsed, it is presumed that the Nebraska Central will avail itself of this means of getting over into Towa and connecting with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Tho very absurdity of the story that the Burlington people were investing heavily in Union Pacific stock, with a w of securing a controlling interest, gives it suflicient life to be reiterated in the press of the west. Even if the stock of the road could be purchased for half the present price it would prove a losing investment. The amount of money which the company owe the government would rebuild the road to.day and pay for its rolling stock, not to speak of its bonded debt, which amounts to an equal sum « Besides the Burlington already parallels the road from the Missouri river to Denver, and by laying a third rail on the Rio Grande & Western it would have a standard gauge road to|" Salt Lake City. The connections which the Burlington have already made with prominent towns jon the Union Pacific, and two or more in centemplation—one with Fremont and another with Cheynne —are sufficient proof that the Q is not going to invest in white elephants the present season, The opening of the Northern Pacific railroad last year did not cause any seri- ous diversion of the trade of San Francis- co as was intimated at the time. St. Paul and Portland struggled bravely for a time to secure the mastery in the im- mense extent of country tributary to the road. The strugple was a brief and prof- itable one but 'the mountain’became the commercial dividing line and each wero content with the division. The whole- sale trade of Omaha was also pushed into the lower half ofsMontana, as ‘well as Idaho, a field which it will occu. py for_some yearatocome. The rapid extension of the Oregon Short Line to Baker City, where.sconnection will be made with the OcegorNavigation compa- ny’s line, will doubtless sharpen compe- tition from the coast side, The advan- tagos which Omaha alone possesses will make her a formidable, if not an invinci- ble rival for the greater portion of the trade of Idaho and Southern Montana. Our merchants must be vigilant and see to it that their agents keep pace with the locomotive in the fastnesses of the Rocky mountains, Denver is a remarkable city in several respects. A portion of it is as dead as the historic Randolph mackeral, while the center or heart of the town is the embodiment of bustling activity, How long it will take the seeds to decay al- ready sown in the outskirts to reach the heart, is a quostion which her inhabitants do not stop to consider. Occasionally a wail crops out in an obscure corner of her press, which shows that the mush- room growth has reached its limit, a fact which is well known to observant peo- ple. Property which commanded good prices and rented readily two and three years ago, would not now bring half the price, and stores and residences which even last year rented for from $20 to $40 per month aro now idle and teuantless at half that sum. The newspapers of the city are strangely contradictory regarding the city's condition. The Zribunc in one issue proclaims “‘that there is no city in the country thav enjovs a better finan- cial roputation than does the queen of the plains,” while in another it gives the following signitiicant report of its “‘financial reputation:” At the hour of 4 yesterday afternoon the hammer fellon the alioted time for receivivg bids for the purchase of the city bonds estab. lished for the purposs of raising $300,000 of a contingent fund, The bonds had been ad- vurllumlfilhanlly in the New York and Boston papers—one advertising bill alone costing the city over $500, but there were no takers and the bonds remain untouched at the city clerk's office, With Omaha’s bonds by the hundreds of thousaude, bearing five and six per cent., commanding a premium, some as high as two per cent., at home abroad, we can swile serenely at Denver's boasts of financial greatness and growth. A committee of membersjof the orthodox Hebrews, the Ohara Emuna, of Denver, has just concluded a four weeks enquiry into the conduct of the rabbi, Rev. Dr. Klinkowstein and decided that he must seek other fields to indulge his appetite for certain luxuries forbidden by the Mo- saic law, te which all true orthodox He- brews must give implicit obedience. The henious offences which caused the remo- val of the dootor were twoin number: the eating of spare ribs of pork and smok- ing cigarettes on the Sabbath. The lat- ter is under the law prescribed in the thirty-fifth chapter of Exodus, the third verse: **Ye shall kindle no fire on your habitations upon the Sabbath day.” Smoking of any. kind on the Sabbath us well as cooking or the lighting of lamps, is an offonse against the law, The eating of pork is forbidden in the eighth verse of J:: fourteenth chapter of 6eu- teronomy. ‘‘And the swine because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the oud, it is unclean unto you; ye shall not eat of their fiesh, uor touch™ their dead democratic conveution promises to be & lcarcass " The prohibition of pork in the pretty lively circus, warm climate of Palestine was s wise sani- ~FRIDAY JUNE d |ty is $902,189; 0, tary regulation and modern orthodox He- brews point to theldangerous and diseased condition often occuring in pork, such a8 the presence of trichinm, which makes pork a bad thing to eat in any climate. These great crimes were proven to the satisfaction of a majority of the congrega tion and the reverend doctor was com- velled to pack his grip and meander. He can console himself, however, with the fato of Adam, whoso love for a spare rib sent mankind adrift to rustle for a living. TI'here are two propositions which, next to the nomination of Blaine and Logan, meet the hearty and unanimous approval of South Dakota. They are, the reten tion of the territorial capital at Yankton and the removal of Gov. Ordway from office and the country. Three-fourths of the former is held by Bismarck,while the several indictments for speculating in cap- ital lots, Asa compromise measure the following petition is being signed and en- doreed by the people and press of the southern sectfon: *‘As there is a move- ment on foot to establish a government in Alsska,we urgently request that N. G. Ordway bo appointed s governor of that territory. Ho has had some littie expe- rience in setting a new territory on its feot, and could probably give the natives a fow pointers on general cussedness. For which we shall ever pray,” etc. The mineral output of Utah, which flows through Salt Lake City, is a re- markably steady and even source of wealth. While other and more preten- tious regions have reached rock bottom or have actually “‘petered out,” to use the mining expression, the districts tributary to Salv Lake City pour into her coffers a steady stream of gold and silver, with no apparent signs of dimunition. For the past four months of the present year, according to the Salt Lake Z'ribune, the receipts of bullion (excluding ore) in that city have been as follows, as far as reported; but the figures do not cover all the product, as several producers with- hold their reports till the end of the year: January. . Februar . 343,416.15 LB 50.427.40 The receipts of bullion for the week ending June 4th, inclusive, amount-d to $113,783 86, For the week previous they were $108,556 13, No reports of ore for nearly a month., The shipments of bullion and lead for the week ending May 3lst were as fol- lows: 80 cars ballion. .. 1 car lead . 2 cars white leac 1 car copper ore. 748,857 ha, 4,163 41,000 24000 * 31 cars 842,020 Ihs, The shipments of Horn Silver for the week ending June 4th were twenty-two cars of bullion, $66,000. Total ship- ments for the current year to date, $026,- 000. The output of the Ontario for the week was twenty-eight bars of bullion, $32,- 58 806. Total for the year to date, $549,- 748.69. The product of the Hanauer smelter for the same week amounted to six bars of bullion, $12,015. It is appar- ent from these tigures that the metropolis of Utah will maintain her position at the top of the list as a mineral depot. The output for the year will doubtless exceed five million dollars. STATE JOTTINGS. Wayno boasts of blue grass over three feet high. ‘I'he Methodists are building a fine church at Sidaey.
