AMERICAN tourists have abandoned the continental tour this season on account of the cholera in France, and have con- cluded to ‘confine their travels to the British islands, The inn-keepers of Scotland and Ireland are consequently reaping an unexpocted harveat,Swhile the proprietors of the watering-place hotels in the north of Italy, are complaining of their lack of patronage. It is an ill- wind that Blows nobody good. [ ] Tue city council has laid out work enough to keep every unemployed man in town busy until November. If any healthy laboring man now wants work ho will have no trouble in getting it. The work laid out, and for which contracts have been let, will—with the incidental grading that will have to be done by ~property owners in order to conform to the changes that will take place in the strootsadjacent to their property—amount 4o over §200,000, This money will em- ploy 1,600 men at an averags of $50 per month for nearly three months, Tue nomination of James Gi. Blaine has opened & new industry. A Maine man has applied for letters-patent for the manufacture of plumes from wood fiber and other flufly materials which can be cheaply made, and, at the samo time, aro very ornamental and durable. He claims to be abls to produce a plume eighteen or twonty inches in length that cau be sold for 50 or 75 cents, which, for campaign or sireet parade purposes, is ds good as a §6 feather, As the plume is the emblem in the campaign for the * plumed knight,” the demand must be large for that purposo, Tuz Iowa state law, which for soveral years has been held at Des Moines, will probably bo located elsowhere this year. The trouble is that Dos Moines has been called on to raise fifty thousand dollars as a bonus for the retention of the fair. “The citizens of Des Moines have only subscribed twenty thousand dollars, and don't feel like raising any more. Other towns, much smaller than Des Moines, are anxioys to pay $50,000 for the per- manent location of the Iswa state fair, snd will do so in twenty-four hours if the opportauity i given them. Among theso towns are Marshalltown, Cedar Rayids and Oskaloosa. —— Unpex the terms of the bill providing for a soldiers’ home in the west, that in. atitution is to be [located at some suitable pointeitherin Iowa, Nobrasks, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado or Arkausas, the grounds to embrace 320 acres. The sum of $260,000 is appropriated for the buildivgs and improvement of the grounds. The home is intended for all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, The board of mansgers shall locate the home within three months after the ap- proval of the act, if possible, and within aix months thereafter begin the erection of the buildings, We should like to see the home located either in Jowa or Neb- xadlds, and we believe that one of these 4wo states can, if the proper effort is secure the prize, The lowa legis- Jature at iis last session appropriated $060,000 as an induccment to locate the home in that state. We hopo that the Jeading citizens of Omaha will make some effort/to secure the home. Its location this point would no doubt prove quite r, easily reached from all tho states aamed u the bull, STARVING INDIANS. The Northern Cheyenne Indians, tem- porarily located on the Tongue and Rose- bud rivers, are in a starving condition. Their rations have been exhausted, and they are killing the range cattle in large numbers to keep themselves alivo. There are about nine hundred of these Indians, and the cattle men threaten to resort to arms unloss they aro immediately ro- moved by the government. The citi- sens of enstorn Montana, through a com- mittee, have telegraphed Secretary Teller urging the removal of the Indians. Un- loss somothing is done at once serious trouble with the Indians may be expected, they are reported as being ugly and independent. They are said to be renegade Iadians from Pine Ridge agency. The government is responsible for the situation, in not proventing the Cheyennes from leaving their agency where they could have obtained an abun- dance of food. They have probably gone off on & buffalo hunt, and not finding any buffalo they have gone to killing cattle, The oattle-ownera of course cannot be blamed for protecting their property. This brings up an interesting point in the care of Indians. Tho time has passed for them to subsist by hunting, as the buffalo and all other kinds of game havé become too soarce, A fow yoars ago, however, game was #o abuundant as to render the Indians independent of govern- ment rations. Now, however, they would starve to death were it not for tho food that is supplied to them by the government at the different agencies. It is true that at some of tho agencies the supplies have been short; and the Ia- dians have suffered for want of food. This deficiency has occurred mainly at agencies located at great distances from the channels of transportation, thus mak- ing it diffioult to furnish supplies prompt- ly and in sufficient quantivies. This de- fect in the system of providing for the Indians can and ought to be remedied. Now that that the Indians can no longer find any game, and have from time to time given up their claims to vast tracts of land, they ought to be properly cared for by the government. Bosidos foeding the Indians the govern- ment should proceed to solve the Indian problem by civilizing them, They should be taught the art of agriculture, and cat- tlo raising, and other industrial pursuits, 80 that thoy may bo made self sustaining. This plan is being partially carried ont with success at some of the agencios, and there is no reaspn why every tribo of In- dians in this country should not, with proper assistance, become farmers and catilo raisers, and Intelligentand prosper- ous citizens, with all the rights and privi- leges of tho white man. They are for the most part, naturally intelligent and quick to learn, and when given an opportunity to edrn’, their livelihood have been found to ba industrious, UNION PACIFIC RETRENCH- MENT. Tue Bee doos not presume to diotate to the high officials of the Union Paciffo what they muatdo in order to cut down expenses, but il does seem strange for them to discharge a large number of men from the mechanical department when scores of men who are mere political hangers-on and leeches aro allowed to continue on the pay-roll. If there is to be retrenchment it ought to begin at the top with tho high-salaried men and supernumerari ‘We can name from 25 to 50 men in this city who are simply in the employ of the company for political service. They come and go as they pleaso. Some aro gentlomen of leisure, who stand in the shade on the prin- cipul street corners beneath the awning, oand ‘“‘watch the corners” for the Union Pacific, Others attend primaries and conventions, Somo sing in gloe cluf¥ and go all over tho stato at the expoense of the Union Pacifio stock- holders. Others are dotailed to keep an eye on the city council. Men have boon carried on the pay-rolls under all sorts of pretenses, and we understand that somo of the “‘big guns” have been draw- ing doublo pay. President Adams and his assistant, Mr, Calloway, will no doubt thorsughly investigate all theso mattors, and dispenso with the supernumeraries. Itin the supernuwmerary crowd that is afraid of the coming “‘shaking up” in and sround the Uuion Pacific headquarters, about which there has been so much talk. No employe whose services are actually needed, and who really earns his salary, need be at all alarmed about losing his position, The political pen- sioners aro the ones who will have to 4o, e — Tue veto of the Fitz John Porter bill is not made on the merits of the bill or the claim to restoration, but it is mado upon technical and constitutional grounds alone. The logislative branch of the government ocannot direct the executive to appoint any particular person to a po- sition in the army any more than it can diotate the appointmeut of any partiou- ler person to a place in the civil service, Viewed from this standpolut there is no doubt that the bill was in conflict with the prerogative which the consti- tution confers upon the president of the United States who has the sole power of appointment by and with the advice and consent of the senate. The Fitz John Porter bill was in-the nature of a dictate issued by the two houses to ro-appoint Porter to a brigadier-general- ship in the army with & proviso that he be retired. 'That proviso alone did not alter the fact that this mandate of the national legislature was not in accord with the constitution, Of course the OMAHA DA Tar action of the house in inser dug in the sundry oivil bill seversl wootions changing the existing law t,aching the expenses of the United|Sts ts esurts so as to abolish the presant fee ayatem and fix- ing salaries for marshals, district attor- neys and olerks, wrousedl the interested officials to tuka steps towards the preven- tion of the adoption of the new system, Many of the officers went to Washington tomake a vigorous protest, and they have mucceeded in - their efforts, The provision for salaries has been scratched out but the house will probably not ac- cept the action of the senate committee. WANHINGTON is the head.center of the areat army of claim agents of every vari- ety. Their principal business, however, is the working up of pension claims. In order to save postage they have adopted the plan of publishing monthly newspa- pers, which they can send through the mails at o trifling cost. In these publica- tions they inform the poor soldier that they will attend to the procuring of tes- timony, doctor's certificates, and all other necessary requirements for the securing of pensions, and many of them no doubt will even go so far as to manufacture claims, Ex-Govervor Parver distinguished himself at the Illinois ‘state democratic convention, Ho said that if he had the power of Him who said “Lazarus, come forth,” he would say “Samuel J.

Tae Fourth of July is a great day for our spread-eagle orators, A BIG DENTAL BILL. Seven Thousand Dollars for Three Days' Work, New York Special, July 1, An exvraordinary dental bill has just como to light. About two woeks before Gen. Blanco, President of Venzuela, left here for home, his wife and two daughters visited & dentist in east Ninth stroot for the purpose of having their toeth fixed, The dentist was employed three days on the work, and sent in a bill for §€7,000., The General thought a mistako had been made. and sent the bill pack with a polite and friendly note asking if one eiphor too many. had not been added by mistake. He received a reply that no mistake had been made in the bill, and a request that could not bu construed as otherwise than immediate payment was added. Gen, Blanco con- sulted his legal advisors and by their ad- vico refused to pay the bill. Tt is said that he offered $1000 in settloment but the offer was refused. As ho was forcod to leave the United States and return to Venzuela he left a large sum in the hands of a mercantilo firm In Pearl stroet, with inatruotions to settle the matter fairly and swicably if possible, and if not, to let the courts decide as to tho merits of the transaction, e — Character in the Mustache, *‘As a rule,” says a Iady reader of men, “Ih high opinion of the man who wears a mustache, Of course, there ard noodleheads, who are prouder of their mustache than a peacock of its new feath- ers, but they are not the ones I endorse, and they really do bring the mustache into disrepute.

What the Busy Campaign Onlfit Man is Getting Ready. How O1d Feather Dusters,Tin Kettles and Other Traps are Used to Decide the Political Fate of tho Na- tion, Now York Journal, “‘Bring all the old feather dusters and false hair you can get. We will give a fair prico for it.” “All right, sir. And those broken kettles—do you want them?”’ Yo, and bring some tin trays, also.” A big man with a fierce red _mustache stood in a large room in a Park place building surrounded by great bundles of lithographs, piles of worn costumes glit- tering with tarnished tinsel, pots of dif- ferent colored paint and a mass of feath. er-dusters and badly uted hat trimmings. “One-half of the political campaign has opened with a hurrah,” he said to a Journal reporter. ‘“The demand for costumes promises to be immense, and orders from all parts of the eountry begin to come in. “‘Hero is one from the ‘Anti-Peruvian- Hurrah-For-Jim Blaine-Club,’ of Sheboy- gan, Michigan. They want 200 helmets with white plumes and shields to match. The plumes aro manufactured mostly from feather dusters, the helmets from old kettles and pots tattooed with gandy colors and the shiclds are tin waiters marked with a big J. G. B. A democrat who was in here yesterday suggested that the letters stood for 's Grand Bounce' and ‘Jack Gets Beaten,’ but the republicans don’t seem to feel much ap- prehension about the initials. “‘Now, here is an order from Pooria, 1L, for 100 black eagles. That's Jack Logan's national bird, you know, and they go henv, on the brunette warrior out that way.” “Whre do you get so many eagles?” asked the reporter. “Don’t get them at all. justas well. There's no money in paint- ing Logan's handsome portrait on a pic- ture, though. You see it takes so much black paint for that cloud of a mustache that the profit is all absorbed. The paint required for one of Logan's mus- taches would make a life size picture of Uncle Sammy Tilden, with a bird's-eye view of Greystone thrown in,” *‘Is there any demand for crows!” «Hardly time for that yet, but before the struggle is over we expect a great rush for ravens. We have several stuffed crows in stock now. George William Curtis camo in the other day and glanc- ingat them exelzimed: ‘Oh, what a pretty bird! Is it an cagle? That makes me think that the independents will use a great many of the black croakers soon, and content themselves with the thought that they are buying young eagles. A well-known democrat yesterday asked me to get up transparency consisting of sev- aral letters painted on the canvas ad- dressed to ¢ Phillip Mulligan,’ and show- ing the signature of ‘J.G.

Our designers are now at work sketching apple-trees, guano-birds, Pertivian pills and other emblematic features of thecampaign. A red-hot Logan man writes me from Egypt to got up a banner showing Black Jack hopping around on erutches with both legs shot off and & confederate regiment in the rear throwing a thousand shells a minute at him. He thinks it will catch the soldier vote every time.” ¢‘Is there any call for ensigns of the demaocratic possible candidates?'’ “‘Not as much as there will be after the nomination, Some political enemies of Grover Cleveland have sent me a de- sign of the govenor shaped like' a beer keg and with a spigot running beer from his body. They assert that Grover drinks beor, and that the prohibitionists would scalp him when they observed this convincing evidence of it. 1t is really fact though that we already have a ban- ner representing a poor man walking home frcm the Battéry to Two Hundred and Thirty-second street through mud and rain, and an inscription saying: ‘I only have six cents, If Cleveland hadn't vetoed the five-cent fare bill I could ride home and buy a'Journal besides.” It is calculated that this will lose Cleveland thousands of votes in this clty if he should get the nomination. “‘But the star attraction is the obloqui- al optics of Ben Butler, From all over tho country we are receiving orders for pictures of Ben and for appropriate cos- tumes for Butler clubs, One good de- sign is a pisture of the Tewksbury alm- house, with the inmates dragging out a bare existence on baked beans and brown bread. Underneath is the inscription, ‘Voto for Butler and we will have pie for breakfast.” This will catch the great floating vote, not exactly the independ- onts, but the men who float around the back doors of beer saloons carrying oya- tor cans under their coats and who reside at Towksbury and other popular board- ing houses during tho cold winter months, “One great festure of Butler's portraits is their cheapness. Here is a banner made to hang across the main street of Haverhill, Mass. 1t will not only be visible on that thoroughfure, but owing o the peculiarity of the off eye, it will look down several other streets at the same time, and le won't know but what there are mtp & dozen portraits hanging around, The spoon will also Phfi & prominent part in the campaign if Ben secures several more nominations.

Colonel Tom struck his adversary once or twice in several shots, not seriously wounding him. When all the chambers of his enemy’s pistol were emptied a friend who stood near, and not having the fear of brother Abe bofore his eyes, ran up and_thrust a fresh weapon into the hands of Tom Bu- ford's assailant. General Abe, believing too firmly in *‘fair play” to thus permit two mon to combine against one, a that one “‘Brother Tom,” at once jerked out & knifo of glittering blade and made a rush for the too busy intorloper. More quickly than it takes to tell it, General Abe with one hand had seized the pcor fellow by the hair, and, like a flach of lightning and with the dexterity of an Indian, made a circular incision on the crown of his head, and, giving the hair a sudden twist, lifted oft as neat a scalp as ono would undergo a day's ride to see, ‘‘Now, d—n you,” said Goneral Abe, as he coolly tossed his Indian trophy to one side and released his victim—**now g0, d—n you! I guess a hair restorative won't bring out the wool on your head again soon.” The frightened fellow, never having experienced that kind of warfare, gathered his head in both hands and ran off yelling as if Captain Jack and all the Modocs werejclose upon his heels. I was horrified—it being the first scalp I had ever seen taken—and riding home next evening 1 asked General Bufford how he could do such a barberons thing. ““He ought to have attended to his own business,” he replied: “‘I was willing, though my brother was engaged, to kee hands off and let 'em fight it out and when he ran up and handed his friend a pistol to kill Tom with I would have been justified in killing him.” ShC e Philosophy in Tatters, Boston Globe, ““Will you loan me enough to pay for a lodzing, sir?”’ “‘The speaker was gray-haired, and bent with age, but an air of respectabili- ty—very faded to be sure —still clung to P | Schlitz-Pilsne TH AT you are bothered nearly to death with rheumatio twinges orthe pangs of neuralgiais no resson why you should continue to suffer.

Yet if he stumbles into fortune, has it thrast in his face, %0 to speak, how dif- ferent is the world’s estimate. It dis- covers in him qualities before unobserved —shrewdness, ability, brilliancy.” *‘What have you to say about applica- tion?” asked the writer, struck by the old man’s evident intelligence. ““It often succeeds no doubt,” he re- plied, ““but the world only looks at the results it achieves. Lot a man stay year after year in a position, and not be suc- cessful, what does the world say? Tt saye: ‘He's a plodder, 1f he haa a particle of push or enterprise he might have made something,” If he succeeds, the world takes especial ploasure in lauding the very trait that it otherwise, at best, damns with the faintest kind of praise. If it is successful it is highly commendable per- severance; if unsuccessful, pig-hoaded- ness, stupidity or lack of enterprise. *‘If a man branches out for himself, goes west or elsewhere, and succeeds, as thousands have done, the world praises him, It says: ‘Ho was not satisfied to move along, year after year, in the same groove, the same rut; he had enterprise.’ f he fails, what does it say? Poor foo.! A rolling stone! If he had staid where he was, he would have deen all right.’ “The same line of argument applies to the smaller affairs of life.
