It puts all its expenditures in the tax levy, no matter what they are. Cuaxvrer and Hendricks are keeping the wires warm, They carry on their correspondence in a very public manner. If they continue to use the wires as free- 1y throughout the campaign as they have for the past two or three days, the stump orator will rot have much of a show to have his great speeches reported by tele- graph. Mg, Powkrs has reconstdered his in- tention to retire from the attorney-gen- eral’s office at the end of this year, and proposes to become a candidate for re- election. There has been a vacancy in the attorney-general’s office ever since General Dilworth left it, and it remains to be scen whether the people of Nebras- ka want a vacancy for t#o years longer. Avrer the assignment of the cadets there will bo twelve vacancies in the rank of second lieutenant in the army, and Prosident Arthur proposes to fill them by appointment from clvil life. These places are eagerly sought after, there being about three hundred young men who went to enter upon a military career beginning with the rank of sec- ond lieutenant. ArpiNus NANCE was sent to the na- tional convention in 1876 and when he |J came home he was nominated governor. James W. Dawes was sent to the nation- al convention in 1880, and in 1882 he was nominated for governor. George 'W. Burton was sent to the convention in 1884, and he is about to blossom out as a candidate for governor. What would ‘be more natural than his nomination, if he is notdistanced by Bazille Mills Brooks with the red hat and carmine nose? Messis, Warrerson and J. Sterling Morton, two of the high priests of the American free-trade party, say that the tariff plank of the platform is the samo in meaning as the tariff plank of 1880 with the word “exclusively” instead of “‘ouly.” Both are chuckling over the manner in which they fooled the protect- ionist membera of the committee. Gen, Butler was the only person who saw through their scheme, and he gave them trouble, For this and other reasons Mr. J. Morton Sterling, especially, was in- <censed at Butler, and says he ought to have been *“‘kicked out of the conver- tion,” or never let in.— Chicago L'ribune. Mr. Morton is & good anti-monogol when he is at home, and we are surprised that he should claim the moenopoly in the congtruction of democratic piatform planks, Tk conscientious Colonel Laird chang- ed front on the Fitz John Porter busi- ness, In his speech 1 sapport of the bill he posed as a martyr to his convie- tions, in voting against the well known opinion of his constituents, When the same measure came up for passage over the president’s veto, the colonel voted nay. Although these votes aro glaringly inconsistent, it would, of courss, be un- generous to suggest that, having suffered martyrdom in compliance with the im- rative demands of his conscience and is sense of right, he now yields to the voice of the mob that has been orying *‘Crucify him!"” that he, the colonel, may the more easily get xe-elected.—[Sutton mcgister., This is slightly incorrect, Mr. Laird's position on the Fitz John Porter bill has ‘been consistent throughout. He voted for the bill, and he is.on record ss having woted for its passage over the president's veto. Ax important change is about to be made in the uniform of the enlisted men AND FEUROPEAN ARMIES. Thero is a great deal of talk about an American policy. The republican party has decided in its platform to adopt an American policy, and the demooratic party is lu favor of a continental policy, whatever that may mean. But 1t is use- los to talk about enforcing any policy when wo have nothing to back 1t up ex- copt bluster and bragadocio, How ab- surd those things must seem to the peo- plo across the Atlantic we can hardly re- alizs, For nearly ten years our army has numbered lesa than 25,000 men, and our navy is composed of old wooden hulks and rusty iron-clads that are worth- Jens, and could not compete in an engage- ment with Patagonia. Meantime the na- tlons of Europe particularly the great powers, are constantly Increasing their armanents and keeping themselves in readiness for any emergency., (iermany can put 2,000,000 men in the field in two days notice. Persla can put 2,500, 00 men into fighting rervice in thes me time. Austria, by aJaw of 1868, ha 1y« 366,000 soldiers, and Italy, by the ] ws of 187Gand 1882, has 2,670,000, tius making the army of the Austro-Gern an« Russian-Italian alliance, or quadruple league, number more than 10,000,000 of soldiers, splendidly and thoroughly drilled. This army has 1.600 batteries of field guns, eo that the battles of the future will be gigantic massacres, both on land and sea. For twelve years England, who allows no rivalry in devis- ing destructive and terriblo means of war- fare, has turned out daily a field battery at Woolwich arsenal, and keeps 4,000 men employed night and day in certain factories, She has produced monster cannons of 200 tons that send projectiles ot 6,000 pounds through armor three feet thick, and she has spent over £60,000,000 since 1872 to securo coast defenses and in- crease her naval defenses. But in Ger- many the military development and ex- penditure is most remarkable. She has expended $100,000,000 in the reconstruce tlon and strengthening of herstrongholds, and vothing has been overlooked or neg- lected by which the maximum rapidity of mobilization is obtainsblo in the direc- tions from whence she apprehends dan- per. Hor array costs her $00,000,000, about 10,000,000 more than the English army of 500,000 men costs England. Compared with the above figures the army of the United States is a mere pigmy, and in the event of any war, which in this world of change, is liable to occur at any time, it would prove but a weak defonse to an invading foe, AMERICAN Tk grand jury indicted Marshal Guth- rie for failing to do his duty, and for col- lusion with lawbreakers. Marshal Cum- mings is now trying to do his duty to the best of his knowledge and ability. Now the question is shall Mr. Cummings have the cordial co-operation and support of the police court, or is he to be obstructed by officers whose duty it is to administer ju as defined in the laws and ordi- nances! Itis hardlynecessary to comment on the remarkable attitude of the police court with regard to the marshal’s efforts to close the gambling houses. It remains to be seen now what the police court pro- poses to do with regard to the arrest of saloon keepers who refuse to take out license. We have in Omaha a class of liquor dealers who desire to obey the laws. We have another class who delib- liberately defy all laws and propose to carry on business in this city without paymng anything. These same saloon men, who rofuse” tu take out a city license, don’t dare to defy the federal government without a United States licenso because the federal officials do not trifle with lawbreakers. s it fair or reasonable that one cluss of dealors shall pay 81,000 a year, while another class go scot free. ~ Our ordinances are certainly leniont enough. They allow liquor dealers to pay their licenso in quarterly installments. If a liquor dealer ownnot raise enough money to pay, he should be compelled to quit the business. He ghould not be allowed to compete with dealers who oboy the law and pay the license. 1t is self-evident that unless the oflicers of the law compel these men to pay their license or close their saloons wo shall soon have free trade in liquor and every liquor dealer will refuse to pay a dime. Ir is not worth while to notice at length the drivel and slush of the Omaha Re- publican concerning the alleged attempt at political reform in the Union Pa- cific on the part of President Adems. Of course no steps have yot been taken by Mr. Adams in that direction, but the successor of Sidney Dillon is liable to do somothing in the way of reform that will put an end to railroad bossism in Nebras- ka, There is one point, however, that we will notice merely to show the insidcerity and reckless disregard for truth of the railroad organ. Referring to the campaign glee club, the Republican brazenly denies that it has ever been a Union Pacific concern, and goes 80 far as o assert that the members of the club never traveled on a pass. in the army, and a prominent army officer says that the proposed changes, if adopt- «ed,fwill give the men every reason to be proud, of their uniforms and have a ten- dency to make them more contented with a soldier’s lot, and decrease the number of desertions, The new uniforms are sensible and at the same time attractive. A white stripe adds to the military ap- pearance of the trousers, and the chev- rons on the coat are of gold braid. The proposed change has received the appiov- al of General Sheridan, but Secretary Lincoln has decided to wait for the opinion of officers in the army in regard to the matter before approving or disap- proviog it. tive uniforwe will check desertions puz- #les us, employes of the Union for “Our Val.” Pacifio campaign shouters, unle Valentine in congress, of the people of Nebraska? ln»me eandidate into office, OmAHA DAILY BEE---WEDNESDAY JULY 16, 1884, ‘Whaiie Carl Schurz I8 out and out against Blaine and in favor of Cleveland, the St. Louis Westliche Post, in which he sti'l has an interest, has returned to the republican fold and taken its position in support of the republican ticket. 7%e Post explains its course in the following editorial: The strongest candidate has been nom- inated by the democrats, and we retract nothing of the good words we have said concerning him, But the more we tried to familiarize ourselves with the idea of a democrat at the head of our national ad- ministration, the less were we able to re- concile ourselves to it. The longer this was agitated upon 8o much the more viv- id became the reminiscences of the past, and to-day we do not find that we are justified in making any guarantoe that ademocrat, be his name Grover Cleve- land, even, would present an uncomprom- ising front under all circumstances, to the menacing onslaught of the southern brigadiers. ~We have criticised the re- publican ticket thus far freely, butadmit now with equal freedom that we have erred. We oxpected of tho other party what the republican party can best per- form. Republicans can do no better than to remaln true to their ticket.

The professor clapped his hands and exclaimed ‘‘She can learn to talk,” while the look of pleased astonishment on the young lady’s face baflled description. This branch of instruction, though in its infancy, prom- ises results of the greatest consequence. Prof. Gillespie is a firm believer in the efficiency of his system and is devoting his life to its success, Tue city of Minneapolis evidently has an honest system of assessment. The city assessor has just completed the sum- mary of his work, which shows a total valuation, both real and personal, of $85,950,095, which is an increase of $33,714,780 in two years. The increase in taxable property has been chiefly in real estato. If Omaha had an honest assessment her valuation would be, at the very lowest,Tbetween $25,000,000 and $30,000,000, instead of §12,000,000, real and personal. We ought to have one general assessor—like Minneapolis—and this assossor should have the power to appoint a sufficient number of capable and honest deputies, and he to be res- ponsible for the whole work. Reform in our system of assessment is sadly need- ed, and it must come sooner or later. In all probability it will be a subject of legislation next winter. Ox taking the chai grand ratifi- cation meoting on Saturday evening, James Creighton speculated on how he came to be made president of the great assemblage. Ho concluded that it might be because he had voted the democratic ticket for more than fortyyears. But that is not the real reason if we unders‘and the action of Sesretary Hauck. It was because he represented our oldest and best citizenship, had been overwhelming- ly endorse by the people of all parties in his high office of chairman of the board of public works as a representative of the same kind of honesty that animates the heart and head of Grover Cleveland, and perhaps, also, because he was the first man tn Omaha, as far back as 1875, who mentioned the name of Samuel J. Tilden as president,—Omaha Herald. This is taffy on a great big stick. It remains to be seen, however, whether it will restore the doctor to the sincere af- fection of the Creightons, We don't be- lievo they aro made of that sort of stuff, Now that the streets and alleys in the business portion of tho city are nearly all paved, a goneral and uniform system ought to bo provided for the collection of ashes and rofuso of every kind., Peoplo who have been using tho alleys for dump- ing placos for refuse should be compelled to abato tho nuisance, The alleys should bo kept just as clean as the stroets.

Chicago Times, The attempt of the Tammany generals and General Butler to stampede the pres- ident-makers, at a critical moment, to exhibit a gross carelessness in regard to" Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks, was as foolish in its jinception as it was complete and contemptible in ita fizzle. Only one thing was or could have {been more pain- fully idiotic, and that was the prodigious coup d'etat of the Indianians who turned themselves the other side out, threw Mr, MeDonald overboard, and mounted their facing-both-ways figure-head on the poop-deck of a wild cruiser that was ex- pected to sweep all before it like a roving Indiana hurricane. After an hour's in- terruption of the proceedings by frantic yelling and a formal proclamation of the Indiana coup d’etat by Dan Vorhees, the Hendricks stampede succeeded in gath- ing the prodigious number of 113 votes (25 more than were given to McDonold and 57 less than were given for Bayard on th ormal ballot), and in giving the nomination to Cleveland without another call of the roll. The sad fate of the Hendricks coup d'etat was exactly what every man of e who was not sitting on his own useless head should have foreseen it would be, The notion that the Cleveland square could be broken by a noise uf Chineso gongs celebrating what was at once an act of treachery and of absurdity must have excluded all thought of the reftex effect of the per- formance upon men that did not lbse their heads in the infernal tumult that was made by several thousand bellowing idiots, — - \ A Trimmings Failure, Niw Youk, July 15, —Green & Co. dealers io trimmiogs mado an assignment to-day with | prefor nces, Oleveland and Corporations, Chicago Tribune, The New York Evening Post, which has finally taken its stand on the side of corporate violators of the constitutional, legal, and industrial rights of the people, defends Governor Oleveland for his veto of the bill to reduce the fare on the ele- vated railroads ot New York to five cents. This bill, it says, * was passed in the teeth of & charter which says that no such bill shall be passed until it shall have been ascertained that the elevated roads are earning more than a certain amount of money on tho capital actually invested in them,” That is a very protty phrase, “In tho teeth of a charter.” It is so pretty that we must use it ourselves and call the attention of the Post to the fact that the charter itself was ‘‘passed in the toeth” of a conatitution which explicitly reserves to the legislature of the state state the right to ‘‘alter” or ‘“‘repeal” any charter granted by any preceding legiala- ture. The language of the constitution of New York state is as follows: Anr, VIII,, Sge, 1. Corporations may be formed under general laws, but shall not be created by special act, except for municipal purpones, and in cases 'whore, in the judgment ot the legislature, the objects of the corpora- tion cannot be attained under general laws. That is clear enough. It is the su- preme, organic, constitutional law of the state of New York, unchangeable except by direct vote of tho people amending the constitution that the legislature may alter or amend the charter of any corpor- ation, whether it may have been a special charter or a charter conferred by a gen- eral law. It} was under this supreme, unquestionable authority that the legis- Iture passed the law to reduce the rate of fare on the elevated roads of New York city. Itovas ‘‘in the teeth” of that authority that Gov. Cleveland vetoed the bill on Lge ground that the legislature had no right to do what it was explicitly em- powered by the constitution to do. It is ‘‘in the teeth” of the constitution that the Post declares that the governor was right, 1t was the patriotic purpose of the fra- mers of the New Yerk constitution of 1846 to make it possible for and legisla- ture to bind the people hand and foot by the grant of a charter that could never be altered. It is the purpose of The Post and Gov. Cleveland and the crew of cor- porate corruptionists for whom they speak and act to nuilify that wise safe- guard of the constitution. If the mon- strous doctrine which they’are base enough to advocate is supported, and a legisa- ture may, with good motives or bad, give away the sovereignty of the peoplo to corporations without souls the liberties of the people are at an end. One syndi- cate after another will go to the capitols of the states and buy from venal and trait- orous representatives exclusive privile- ges that can never be recalled or con- trolled. By piecemeal, as each charter is granted the state willlose its authority over banking, over the railroads, over the insurance companies, over the supply of gas, heat, electricity, water, etc., to the cities. The liberties of the people will disappear in the markets. 1If they disap- pear in the markets they will disappear everywhere else, for the initial experi- ence the people of this country ave now enjoying proves that the men who con- trol the markets and the lines of trans- portation to the markets accumu- Iate fortunes, which enable them to buy in the primaries, the legislatures, the courts, and at the polls whatever amount of ‘‘vested rights” they need for the achlevement of their moncpolistic pur- poses. The act of Gov. Cleveland in forging by this voto another link in the heavy chain which the corporation are loading on the limbs of the people called fourth very properly an indignant protest from a meeting of werkingmen in Buffalo. The Post]turns angrily on these citizons who have dared to express themselves ona matter of vital importance to their pock- ets and their personal liberties, involving as it does the relations of all the citizens of New York state with every corporation chartered by its legislature. It ridicules them as *‘s0 called workingmen.” 1t de- clares supercilliously and superficially that *‘they have uo more interest in five- cent fares on the New York elevated roads than in the rates on the parlimen- tary trains of Great Britain.” And it concludes with the dastardly remark that “probably the Buffalo workingmen who passed this resolution exercise their in- dustry most effectively in the saloons.” This cruel and deliberate insult is a good specimen of the feelings and methods of the Cleveland men, Workingmen who venture to meet to consider on broad con- stitutional grounds the acts of their gu- bernatorial servant are at once branded as frauds and “‘so-called” workingmen, If they go farther and dare to disagree with the opinions of the tocl monopoly, his newspaper organ pitches on them and stiginatizes them as rum-guzzlers and bummers. 2 The nomination of [Cleveland by the|— democrats will bring at once to the front of American politics the supreme ques- tion whether this country belongs to the corporations or the corporations belong toit. The keynote of the struggle to determine whether the corporations or the people are supreme was struck in that very case of the bill to reduce the fares on the elveated roads of N York which the supporters of Gov. Cloveland with a hallow and [sinister incincerity try to make us believe was a little mat- ter local to New York City. Almost all the laws that have been passed by the western states to regulate the railroads live only by virtus of the power the ex- istance of which Gov. Cleveland denied in his veto. The supreme court afirms that power; has recently reafirmed it in ita desision sustaining the governmental regulation of of the rates charged in San Francisco by{the Spring Valley water sompany. Gov. Cleveland denies that power. Once the people have given a corporatlon 7a function or a privilege the ccrporation becomes supers ior to its creator, and caninever be reg- ulated or suppressed—not even if the written charter of the people says they shall always have that right. ~ What Gov. Oleveland has dofe President Cle- veland would better. If President Cleve- land has to make an appointment to the Supreme Court he will name a judge who will use all possinle means to re- verse the previous rulings of the court. If abill comes to congress to regulate the railroade, the coal combination, the gambling in the food of the people, the formation of transportation conspiracies, President Cleveland willjveto it for the | same reason that;he vetoed the five-cent- fare bill, This is the kind of *‘Reform President” which the democratic con- ventiun as the people to vote for, e e— Electric Light on Cananian Rallways Toronto Sp: Correspondence. A Oanada man has invented an electric motor for railway carrisges that promise to meet *‘a loug-felt want.” All who have traveled long distances in railway carrisges at night, have experienced the discomfort of the poorly lighted cars, which, so far as the passenger i concern- ed, might justabout as well be enshrouded in Egyptian darkness, All this has been overcome by the Invention of the Cani dian referred to, which is at once cheap and may be adapted to any ordinary rail way carriage. The motor is driven by & puily fixed to the axle of the car it is in- tended to light. The motor itself takes up very little room, and is placed in a neat cabinet at one end of the car. The difficulty hitherto of lighting railway cars by elcetricity, and obtaining ,the motive power from the revolving axles of the cars, was that when thetrain stopped the light would go out, a8 & natural conse-. quently when the train stops at way sta- tions the light in the carriages use up the electric fluid that has been made along the way. The electric motor in question has been successfully tried in cars by the Grand Trunk and it is intended to intro- duce it on several night expresses run- ning west from Montreal as soon as ar- rangements can be made. Phuisi-—nat Gen, Sherman's Street Hose, Washington Post, Mr. W. F. Mott, who arrived here yesterday on a visit to relatives, occuples the position of assessor and collector of water rents in St. Louis. It waa to him that Gen, Sherman recently wrote the letter returning a bill for street washing water rent and asserting that he might after all, find some other city in which to live. The sequel to this letter was told by Mr. Mott yesterday as follows: “I was somewhat hurt by the General's angry letter, for I had simply done my duty. He had pald a license for his houso and stable, but none for street washing, rnd I had to send him the same printed circular that I sent to everyother delinquent. I have a great admiration for the general, and so, a few days after I got his letter, I took pains to write a lengthy reply, explaining tho law and why a bill had to be rendered in addition to his house license. I received a prompt answer inclosing a check for 28 50 the total amouut, but the general said that he never used the hose on the Bell street side he ought not to be charged for that 150 feet frontage. He added a charac- teristic sentence to the letter, ‘The cit; of St. Louis reminds me very much,’ he wrote, ‘of a hotel in Omaha, whose pro- prietor advertised: Terms 4 50 per day; board and lodzing extra.’ Well, 1 de- ducted $15 for the Bell street side, and returned him the money, and now the general uses his street washer in peace.” —— TELEGRAPH NUTES.
