Box 88 Omaha, N Mr. Powern Cnavrox has returned to Arkansas, and he will now have his ova- tion. “Tue United States Pension Office” is the subject of A paper by Eugene V. Smalley, in the forthcoming Century. It will no doubt interest the large number of pensioners, Urox second sober thought, if he can ever sober up, Mayor Chase will doubt- less see the propriety of tendering his resignation, and saving himself and the city frem all further scandal ———— I7 is now ofhicially announced that Sid. ney Dillon is io step down at the end of this month, and that Charlos Francis Adans is to bocome prosident of tho Union Pacifio, Siduoy has just been elected president of the St. Joe & Wes- tern railroad, and he can afford to let go of the Union Pacific. Tix council will now have no trouble whatever in getting rid of Marshal Guth- rie. He can be suspended by a resolu- tion, and ought to have been removed long ago. The council is bound to take this action unless Guthrio resigns, as it can not allow the police department to be demoralized any longer by having at its head such a dungerous and corrupt officer. Wiex Governor David Butler was impeached by the Nebraska legisiature, thirteen years ago, one of the articles of impeachment charged him with making & corrupt proposal to Champion 8. Chase, who had been for a briot period acting as attorney-general. Chase was one of the principal witnesses against Butler for ut- tempted bribery. The whirligig of time brings its revenges. — TaE increase of votes at each presiden- THE NEXTSENATE, No sarrer what the outcome of the presidential election may be, the United States senate is bound to romain republi oan until the year 1887, Even if the democracy should succeed in elocting the next president the republicans will not only in a great measure control the pol- icy of the gavernment but prevent any radical changes in the personnel of the public service. The senators whose terms expire next March are: James L. Pugh, Alabama, dem.; James D. Walker, Arkansas, dem. ; James T. Farley, California, dem., thaniel P. Hill, Colorado, rep.; Orvill H Platt, Connetticut, rep.; Wilkinson Call, Florida, dem.; Joseph E. Brown, Goorgia, dem.; John A. Logan, Illinois rep.; Daniel W.Voorhees, Indiana, dem. ; William B. Allison, Towa, rep.; John J. Ingalls, Kansas, rep.; John 8. Williams, Kentucky, dem.; B, Frank Jonas, Lou- isana, dem.; James B. (iroom, Maryland, Missouri, dem.; dem. ; (ieorge (i, Vest, John P, Jones, Novada, rep.; Henry P. Blair, New Hampshire, rop.; Elbridge (i, Lapham, New York, rep.; Zebulon B, Vance, North Carolina, dem ; (ieorge H Pendleton, Ohio, dem.; James H. Slater, Oregon, dem. ; Jawes Donald Cameron, Pa., rop.: Wade Hampton, South Caro- lina, dem.; Justin 8. Morrill, Vermont, rop.; Angus Cameron, Wisconsin, rep It will be seen that 25 senators’ terms ex- pire March 4 next. Of these 14 are denw ocrats and 11 republicans. The succes- sors of four of the retiring democrats have been elected from Kentucky, Louis- ana, Maryland and Ohio—All democrats. That leaves 10, whose places are to be fillod from the states of Arkansas, Ala- bama, California, Florida, Gieorgia, Indi- ana, Misssissippi, Missouri, North Caro- lina, Orogon and South Carolina, It is conceded that the republicans will gain a senator m Oregon as a republican legis- Inture has just been elected in that state. Indiana is a doubtful state, and Mr, Vor- hees is likely to be succeeded by a repub- lican. Nevada is also a doubtful state, and is liable to be captured by the demo- crats, which would offset Indiana, The senate is now composed of 36 democrats, and 40 republicans, and the democrats in order to have a majority after March 4, must gain three. This, however, is not atall probable as the loss of Oregon will add another to be gained somewhere else, In view of this it is evident that the re pubiicans will hold the tenate until 1887, and even if Mahone and Riddleberger should turn over to the democrats it would make the senate a tie IIMELY INDIC1. ENTS. The grand jury of Douglas county has presented indictments for bribery and porjury against Mayor Chase and Mar- shal Guthrie, Omaha cannot but feel keenly the disgrace which these officials have brought upon the city, every right-minded man and tial election gives some iden of the growth of our population. The whole vote cast in the Harrison campaign of 1840 was a litie over 2,400,000, while in 1880 it was 9,210,970, or nearly four times as great. The combined vote of New York, Pennsylvania aud Indiana is now larger than the total vote of all the states in 1840; and New York alone casts nearly as many votes as were cast by the whole country in 1828, Another remarkable fact is that as the votes increase the margin of diflerence between the parties grows narrower, Polk, Taylor, Buchan- an, Lincoln, Hayes and (iarfield were all elected by a plurality iustead of a major- ity of the aggregate popular vote; and in the case of the latter the plurality by which he won was only 7,000 in a total vote of nearly 9,000,000, — Tue board of regents of the Nebraska state university has just concluded an important session. In many respects the present board of regents is following in the footsteps of its predecessors, In- stead of aiming to make the university a great institution of learning it is carving out slices of political patronage by estab- lishing sinecure professorships, For in- stance, Mr. D. H. Culver, “‘professor,” was elected as instructor in modern langs uages, at o salary of $000 a year. A professor who is really com- petent to teach modern languages would rather seek employment as a clerk in some store, or chop wood for a living, than te accept fifty dollars a month in a university, Another professor was chosen instructor in elocution at $800 a year; and another member of the faculty is to raceive §900 a year for teaching history. It strikes us that the Nebraska state univerisity is being run on the ground-hog plan, or else it could afiord to hire first-class men at fair salaries, —— A7 last the true reason of Tilden's declination has been discovered. He is ineligible to the presideney. A promi. nent Englishman, living in Dubuque, Towa, says that he has seen the church register in the county of Kent, England, showing Tilden's birth there, and, when he was two and a half years old, was sold by his father for a small holding of land previous to immigration to America. This story coming from such a high au- thority, ought to settle the question of Tilden's candidacy beyond the possibility of & doubt. We are surprised that Sam Tilden should have concealed for so iong a time the fact that he is a bloody English- men. Although shut out of the presiden- cial race onaccount of hisforeign nativity, we think he ought, even at this late day, 10 become & naturalized citizen of the United States, What a fortunate thing 1t was that this bold Englishman did not socure the presidency of this great and glorious republic in 1876, Had he been seated in the presidential chair, he would have turned us over to ' Queen Viotoria, and we would now have been annexed as 8 Britlsh province to Canada. We certainly escaped a great calamity. woman in this community will accord to the grand jury and District Attorney Godwin unstinted praise for the fearless and faithful discharge of their sworn duty. It is not for us now to pass upon the guilt or innocence of the accused, nor do we desire in the least to influence the jury of their peers before whom they are to be tried, but the fact that sixteen men, good and true, men who rank among our most respected citi- zens, have,after asearchinginquiryintothe scandalous reports, agreed to present nu- merous indictmenta against Mayor Chase and Marshal Gurthrie, affords proof that there must be very well-founded reasons for the reported dishonesty and corrup- tion of these officials.

Now York: Fords, Howard & Hulbert. The London (Eag.) Daily News is not far out in describing this book as **one of the oleverost, froshest, most original novels that has lately appeared,” for it is first and last notable for its quality of readableness, The book has doubtloss a special interest since it is written with tho avowed *‘purpose” of porsuading American girls who go in high hopes to study music iu Europo that they would do far botter to stay at home, It is not swoet volce that every gives enjoyment and attracts attention n " a church choir which will make its fair ownera Patti or a Nilsson. Far more likely is it to be a perilous temptation to wandering exile, to the squandering of the hard-earned money of friends in futile singing lossons in Europo, to the gay but dangerous glimpses of Bohemian life among musical students and professionals in the great oapitals of the continent, and sometimes, as in the case of the heroine of thisbook, to mistakes ending in bitterness, despair and death, The keen comprehension and graphic deacription of different sys- tems of vocal training under the great singing masters of London, Paris and Milan is full of interest, not only to musical folk, but to all who Jike to know the why and the wherefore of such art,— indeed of any art, for the secret scems to lie, as always, chiefly in intelligent work, Pror, J. Harris Patron, author of the “Concise History of the American Peo- ple,” which ranks so high for accuracy and ready usefulness, issues very shortly through the same house a compact book of much interest, entitled, *‘T'he Demo- oratic party: Its Political History and Influence.” This containg the remark- able assertion (which the author claims to have proven) that in spite of the control of the government from Jefforson’s time Jessness, jobbery and debauchery. Every protest and every appeal from decont people has been spurned as an insult, Kvery effort to purge the city of the dangerous and law- less element has been fruitless. For more than a year it has been notorious that a systomatio levy of §50 a month has been made upon the gambling houses of this city by Marshal Guthrie, and it was generally believed that the mayor and marshal were co-partners in this deal. It was well known that the gam- bling houses were closed for three weeks, and were only allowed to reopen upon submitting to this efficial black- mail, To-day the city of Omaha stands disgraced before the world by the indictment of her chief ex- ecutive, Itis a disgrace, however, that she will cheerfully bear, because it has brought with it a wholesome lesson that will purify the public morals and serve notice on men of high and low degree that there is a limit beyond which, even in this fast and loose community,no pub- lio official will be permitted to go unpun- ished, Now that these officers are indicted it behooves them to relieve this city from all further disgrace, expense, and embar- rassment by promptly tendering their unconditional resignations to the city council, Tue vacancy caused in the hoard of re- gents of the Nobraska State University by the retirement of Mr, J. W. Gannett has been filled by the board inthe elec- tion of Mr. Leavitt Burnham, land com- missioner of the Union Pacific railroad. Mr, Burnham is a gentleman whom we sinceraly respect, and for all we know he may be even better] qualified than Mr Gannett, who was for many years one pf the most useful members of the board, But we wsk, in all candor, why was Mr. Burnham chosen! Does the Union Pacific railroad hold a life membership in the board of regents? Does not Mr, Burnism's appointment again confirm the fact that the dominant party in Nobraska has hired itself out as a sort of;body servant to the great railroad corporations,” True, the law requires down to the rebellion, almos’ without in- terruption, the democratic party has in- stituted but one measure or policy which by its success has been accepted azi hard- ened into permanency.

The firo was terrific. The air was full of smoke and bullets and while tho rebel lines were wavering our own lines were not in much bet- ter shape, but we swung into position with a shout, ~ Just at that moment an officer, I think it was General Barlow,came riding down the front, from the left, with three stands of rebel colors trailing beside his horse, all white with foam, and being spurred on by his gal- lant rider. Tho shout that went up did every man’s heart good. A few moments of sharp work decided the day on that part of_the line and the rebels fell back thoroughly whipped.” —“Histbry never tells anything of the real heroes of the war —the boys in the ranks—who earn their prometion by individual acts of bravery,” said Ca Manchester. ‘I have a picture at home of T ieutenant Frank Bren- nan, of my regimont, who was oue of the bray. est men I over know. 1o was with Baker at Ball's Bluffs, and received a wound which stiffened all of the finge:s of hisleft hand.
