In your issue of July 14th, you oall the public’s attention to the frot that the postmaster's salary of Omaha has been raised from threethousand to thirty-three hundred, also to the dispatch of J. J. L. 0. Jewett to Grover Cleveland, that in the even of Cleveland’s election, Jewett would come to the front as postmaster of Omaha. You seem to refer to the above with much satisfaction, But w)!nn you speak of the letter carriers having fiftoen days vacation with pay you seem to be stricken with holy horror, You say there is a good deal of hum. bug, however, about the whole business. The talk about the overworked carriers is slightly exaggerated, and you seom to stand ready to justify congress in making the appropriation of money necessary to carry the law into full effect. And the postoffice department in try- ing to defeat the object by claiming a de- ficiency in the appropriation, What does the editor know about the real duties of a lotter carrier? Does the article referred to reflect the sentiments of the editor? If so, it shows that he is totally ignorant of the ques- tion upon which ho writes. The ques- tion is not one of the kind of duties per- formed, but one of justice on the part of the government towards its employes, for instance, a clerk in the post office, If in oase of vacation or death or sickness of rolatives 18 called away, he does not lose his pay. Other clerks perform his du- tiga. Not go, the letter carrier, one can- not perform duties for the other, because in every case tho substitute drays his pay in the absence of the carrier. For instance, the record of the post- office will show that assistant postmaster who receives $150 per month, and the head carrier, who receives $71.50 per month, were both absent for fifteen days in June, the assistant postmaster received his full pay, the head-carrier was docked. The carrier is required to give §1,000 bond for faithful performance . of his duties. And yet the editor of Tur Ber, who claims to be the champion of working men, justifies this discrimination of the governmont toward its employes. ‘O consistency, thou art a jewel!” A CaRRIER. There is neither thyme nor reason in coupling Jewett's dispatch to Grover a single exception the reports are all of the most flattering kind. Reports from the south Platte country are equally en- couraging. —_— Tue United, States post-office and health officials are considerably exercised over the fact that the British government has refused to fumigate the French mails tor this country. The attitude of the British officials leads us to conclude that they do not care about assisting in the effort to prevent the spread of the chole- ra. They probably take it for granted that it is bound to cross the English chan- nel to England, and they don’t want to see America escape the plague. This may be a very uncharitable conclusion, but under the circumstances it is the most natural one for our officials to ar- rive at, and they will probably resort to retaliatory measures to force the English to do their duty. The very first step to be taken in this direction is to immediately enforce a strict quarantine upon the mail steamers and all other English veasels. “Way I am a Republican,” is the title Cleveland with our comments on the let- ter carriers’ vacation. If our remarks about Jewett as the possible postmaster of Omaha show any trace of satisfaction with the raise of Postmaster Coutant's salary, or vice versa, we fail to seoit. In fact nobody knows better than the letter carriers that the postmas- ter's salary has not been raised in the sense infwhich that term implies. The salaries of postmasters in presidential offices are adjusted every four years ac cording to the amount of business done during a given period. Eight years ago the postmaster’s salary in Omaha was $4 000, but when Pattee moved away from Omaha the business decreased and the salary was reduced. “"The salaries of the postmaster and his assistant are not gauged by the amount of work they do, but by the responsibil- ity of these positions, The - discrepancy between the salary of the postmaster and the salary of a letter carrier is no greater than that between the salaries of general railway superintendents and the wages of brakemen. Everybody knows that the of the great campaign book of 1884, to be issued in a few days by ‘George M, Rew- ell & Co., of Cleveland, and to be sold by subscription, It is & graphio and re- liable presentation of republican princi- ples, a defense of the policy of the repub- lican party, the reasons why the party should be continued in power, the vital issues in the pending campaign and other matters of great interest. The author is Hon. George 8. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, ex-secretary of the treas- ury. No man is better able to write such a work. His ability is everywhere conceded, and his work, as Senator Anthony says, will be ‘‘a power- ful agent in support of republican princi- ples in this campaign.” It has been en- dorsed by all leading republicans, tnclud- ing the chairman and secretary of the national committee. The author, as is well known, has been associated with the republican party from its early history; for many years was one of its leaders, and has such a thorough personal know- ledge of its grand achievements, that his very name is a guarantee of the accuracy and inestimable value of his work. To write a book 8o comprehensive in its na- ture, and yet to free it from prosy detail, and make it terse, pointed and brilliant, 80 a8 to be reacily grasped by every vo- ter, seemed atfirst an impossible task, but it has been accomplished, Tux rescueof the survivors of the Gree- 1y arctic expedition will prove a gratify- ing piece of news, The relief vxpedition brings back alive)Lieuteant Giiceloy and six other survivors. Seventeen of the twenty-five composing the Franklin Bay expedition perished by starvation at the point where the survivors were found. Twelve bodies of the dead were rescued and brought back, Commander 3chley reports that the seven survivors were found in a very critical condition, and forty-eight hours delsy in reaching them would have been fatal to all now living, His report to the secretary of the navy, telegraphed from St. Johns, N, F., is ne- cessarily condensed, yet it affords some Adea of the sufferings of the Greeley party. The public, however, will await with a great deal of interestthe detailed report of Lieutenant Gireeley. None but the sur- wvivors can describe their feelings of joy on discovering the vessels of rescue plowing through the ice field on the way to their relief. Thisincident, the most affecting in the history of the ill-fated expedition, must be left to be told by Lieutenant Greeley and his companions, As usual little or nothing has been accomplished by the Arctic expedition, It is the same old story over again—shipweeck, suffer- ing and death. The only result is that the «explorershave been made heroes, andjtheir experience will add another interesting brakeman does much harder manual la- bor and runs greater risks than the su- perintendent, but the brakeman does not expect to draw pay while taking a vaca- tion, even though the superintendent may be fishing in Lake Minnetonka. ‘We have not been stricken with *‘holy horror” over the idea that the letter car- riers should take a vacation once a year, but we do not sympathize with the car- riers when theygo into a spasm of indig- nation because congress has seen fit to appropriate only money enough for one week's vacation instead of two. KFirst and foremost wo always balieve that the servant is worthy of his hire. We alwaya have favored good wages for public ser- vants, and when the carriers asked for an increaae of pay they had our support. The carriers are now well paid, consider- ing that they are employed all the year round, and in addition to their pay aro liberally remembored during the holidays by their friends. It is truo that they have to work hard for their wages, but there are hundreds of men only too anxious to take their placos. It has boen the position among lotter carriors to continually growl and gramblo, and yot us far s we can observe their lot is much proferable to that of the post offica clerks who aro confined in doors all day or kept at work all night. D ——— Seven years ago a Bohemian printer, who was on the road to consumption, se- cured a position as letter carrier in this city. Ho has worked as hard perhaps as any other carrier, and enjoyed but one or two vacations in the seven years, He is to-day a robust wan, and enjoys life as well as any man in Omaha. Had he continued to work at his trade he would have been sleeping under the sod long ago' He has accumulated enough from his earnings to pay for a good home, now worth at least §1,800, and two or three good lots besides, He is not the only carrier who has thrived by his work and boen benefitted in health by the exercise. When a man is in good health and has a healthy occupation, and rests one day in the week, he does not need two weeks vacation at the expense of the tax-payers of the United States, There is nothing in the statutes that says eleven months and a half shalt thou la- bor, and two weeks shalt thou take a rest and go a fishing, This view is not at all adverse to the workingmen, 1t is simply placing the public servant on the same plane with the men who contribute to his support, We know that there is a tendency to pander to every whim which the carriors take into their heads, But we despise humbug and hypocrisy, and therefore we do not hesitato to tell the letter carriers just what we think of the matter, Ac- cording to latest advices the postmaster- general has decided to allow the carriers chapter to Arctic literature. It is time these foolish Arctic expeditions should ‘be abandoned, as enough of human life and money has been wasted in that direc- ion, their two weeks vacation this year, and hence we can see no good reason why they should feel disgruntled, ——— Tuose heavenly messengers from the OmAHA DAILY BRE democratic national convention bearing the benediction of the d. o. p. (dead old party) have not yet reached Grammercy Park., It will be an affecting scene when they get there. CHOLERA STATISTICS. Sratisrics show that people generally have an exaggerated idea of the ravages of cholera, Since 1832 the deathsin the United States from cholera and cholera morbus have been only a little over13,000, In 1832 there wore3.51 3 deaths fromcholera;in 1849, there wereb,0714% 1854, there were 2,609; in 1866, there were 1,137; making a total during these four visitations of only 12,230. There were 971 deaths from cholera in 1834 and 874 in 1852, but in other years tho deaths were 80 few in number that the disease cannot be said to have prevailed in any part of the country. It would seem therefore that undue alarm is needless, even if the cholera should now make its appearance in this country. Suppose that 50,000 of our population of over 50,000, - 000 should die from cholera, it would only bo one death among 1,000 persons. 1f 100,000 persons should die it would be only one death among 500 persons. It is not likely that, with proper precau- tions, the number of deaths would reach 60,000, or even 25,000. In view of the fact that the percentage of deaths has always been vory small in this country, it would seem that there really is not much cause for apprehension. Cholera has its homo in Egyptand in India, in which countries more poople die every year from cholera than have died from the disease in the United States since America was discovered, In the seven months ending July 31, last year 12,600deathsfrom thiscause were recorded in Egypt, and the probabiiity is that the number recorded did not repre- sent more than one-half the number of deaths, It was epidemic in Egypt last year, but when it is not epidemic the Egyptians regard the cholera in about the same light as Americans look upon the different types of fever. How- ever, it is to be hoped that overy sanitary precaution will be ta- ken to preveno its appearance and spread in this country, Omaha is naturally a clean city, owing to its suparior surface drainage, to which has been added an excellent system of sanitary sewerago. Nevertheless there are many places that ought to be cleaned and kept clean, even if there is no danger from the approach of cholera, Other cities are already tak- ing such precautionary steps, and Omaha ought not to delay too long. GeNERAL Porririo Draz, who has just been elected president of Mexico, for the third time, was bornin 1832. He re- cieved a classical education, and has earn- ed a brilliant military record, the numer- ous revolutions in Mexico affording him abundant opportunity to distinguish himself. He won great renown during the invasion of Mexico by Maxmilian and the French. Diaz, then became a candi- date for the presidency, but was defeated by Jaurez, between whomand Diazdissen- tions subsequently arose, which resulted in the revolt of the younger man against the veteran military and political leader. He was again a candidate for president in 1871, but was again defeated by Jaurez, who died in 1872, Lerdo succeeded to the presidency, by virtue of hia position as chief justice, but was finally driven from power by Diaz, who was declared prosident,and afterwardsjpeacefully elect ed. His administration was eminenily successful. He was sagacious as chief magistrate, and especially distinguished himself for the zeal and efficiency with which he fostered the industrial and com- mercial activities of his country as well as for the friendly intercourse he encourag- ed with the United States. At the end of threoe years ho rotired from the presi- dency, the constitution making the presi- dent ineligible for the succeeding term, but he controlled the election of 1881, and made Gonzales president, Tug city of Lincoln has seen fit to award to the Holly company the contract for the construction of waterworksin that city.

They nominated him in the face of his veto of the mechanic’s lien bill, of the tenement- cigar bill, of the bill reducing the daily labor of one class of workingmen from sixteen hours to twelve, of the daily rob- bery of thousands of ;workingmen by the wealthy elovated railroad companies, mado possible only by his veto of the five-cont-fare bill, and of his sympathy with monopoly interests evidenced by his appointment of a hostile majority on the railroad commission and of his placiag the canals in the hands of a New York cen- tral railroad contractor. Workingmen understand these things. They sent their representatives to Chicago to warn the democratic leaders against the nom. ination of Cleveland, but either they wero not heard at all or their warnings were not heeded. They assumed that the great multitude of workingmen know nothing of these things, and that they would vote pell-mell for any man who was_nominated. They made a further mistake in nomi- nating Hendricks for the tail of their ticket. Workingmen are loyal, and they have had time to consider and reflect since those days when elections were held in the heats and passions of war. time. Hondricks' disloyalty is more repugnant now than it was then even. They prefer “‘Fighting John Logan” to the Copperhead Hendricks. ‘I'hey made a further mistake in their platform, whose _inconsistencies, falsehoods, and tors, with an a steapped to his waist. For the OMAnA Ber, Tuesday, the 156th, was a Lutheran day for Auburn and vicinity, the corner- stone of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church being laid. An interested audi- ence gathered in the Presbyterian at 3 p. m., where services were conduct- ed by the pastor, Z. W. Kimmet. The services were opened with a beau- tiful anthem by the choir and the invo- cation by the pastor. Scripture lessons wora read by Rev. Ewell, pastor of the the M. E, church and a very appropriate prayer offered by Rev. Dickey, pastor of the Presbyterian church. The hymn, “*Gilorious things 'of Thee are spoken,” was then sung by the congregation, after which Rev. J. 8. Detwiler, pastor of the Omaha Lutheran church, was introduced, The speaker, very beautifully and very eloquently, spoke on the the rise and progress, the doctrines and practices of the Lutheran church, The address was full of information and was highly ap- prociated by the audience. A German address was then delivered by C. F. Clement, of Auburn, on the progress and success of Christianity during the past century as compared with that of former ages. The chairman of the building commit- tee briefly spoke of the finances of the building, and called for pledges. Two hundred and eighty-five dollars were received in a few minutes, and the services of the church closed with the anthem: “Prepare to meet thy God,” by the choir. The congregation now proceeded to the foundation, where the corner stone, with the date July 15th, 1884, cut and dona- ted by V. V. Morrison, was laid, accord- ing to to the impreesive synod, Lutheran church. The cavity of the stone was filled with copies of the leading periodi- cals of the church, with the complete list of all the contributors to the enterprise up to the monent of sealing, with a short history of the organization to the present time, and the programme of the day. The services clused with *‘coronation” and the benediction by Dr. Ewell., The congregation building the church, was organized April 28th, 1884, The estimated cost of the building is $3,000, over $1,700 is now subscribed. The church is expected to be finished during the present year. The building is beau- tifully located, being within one block of the center of Auburn.

They are working enthusiastically to raise mon- ey to furnish che church building when completed, | ——m— COleveland and Workingmen, Chicago Tribune, There is every reason to believe that the workingmen in all the larger cities and towns in the north have already thought and talked the matter over among themselves, and that large num- bers of them have come to the conclusion that Grover Cleveland is not a fitting person to represent them, and hence that they cannot vote for him, At Rochester, N. Y., the politicians, when the news of Cleveland's nomination came got together in the afternoon, fired a salute and had a general hurrah. That evening. however, the workingmen came together in large numbers, and after dis- cu sing the newsdecided that they would not vote for Cleveland and stated their reasons in n series of strong resolutions, The same thing has happened in other cities and towns in various parts of the country. The attitude of worjingmen in Chicago is clearly encugh shown by the interviews with prominent persons in the various societies and trades-unions ich havo already been printed in the bune and which indicate that they are determined not to vote for Cleveland, The large majority of these men have heretofore voted the democratic ticket, but they have reasoned and reflected up- on the matter, and they have made their decision to bolt, In many cases they do not even take the trouble to state their grievances, but the causes for such a very generalchange of mind lie upon the surfaco. The dem- veratic national convention, in the first place, made the fatal mistake of assum- ing that the werkingmen would vote for any candidate whom it should nominate, regardless of his record. The leaders of the party assumed that they would vote solidly as usual, and all that it was necessary to do was to put a fow glitter- ing generalitios into their platform about the rights of man and the dignity of labor, and the workingmen would vote tho ticket as they have done heretofore, regardless of the character of the nom- inees. They overlooked the great change which has taken place in the habits of workingmen, and their rapid advance- ment as thinkers and talkers since they became organized into societies and unions, They forgot that workingmen are reading more than ever, that they are giving much time to reflection and | disoussion of political topics, of candi- dates, and of party measures, and that they are daciding for themselves, and be- ginning to act independently. They made another mistake in the nomination of Cleveland, whose brief | tadministration has been characterized by | hostility to measures proposed for tho | amelioration of the condidon of working- ' men, and who, as a pronounced monop- oliat, has more than once expressed hill contradictions were glaringly exposed in the light of Ben Butler's minority report. They know that the convention did nothing for them in that platform, They know that the nominee of that conven- tion has been uncompromisingly hostilo to them, They know that the democra- tic house of representatives, session after session, has done nothing for them, It is for reasons such as these that the large majority of the workingmen not only cannot, but will not, support Cleveland. As the New York Sun remarked the other day, ‘it is a gqod year for bolting,” and the workingmen are going to try it. They are bound to try it. They are bound to teach the democratic machine leaders a lesson. The full extent of the bo:t will not be known until next Nov- ember, but it will be large enough to convince the democratic party that mere party ties are no longer strong enough to hold the rank and file in the face of hostile treatment, and that workingmen have commonced to think, and read, and act for themselves, and will no longer be blindly led by demagogue-, The Cotton Centennial.
