On the 20th of August district con- gressional conventions will be held at Beatrice, Hastings and Columbus, to Tominate republican candidates for con- gress, and one week later tho state con- vention will meet in this city to nominate a state ticket and presidential electore, By the time tho local managing politi- cans have held their meetin nd issued calls for primary elections and county conventions less than four weeks will re- main for the discussion of the merits of the respective candidates among the rank and file of tho party. It is even questionable whether any respectable member of the party will be able to take part in primary caucuses aud local con- ventions at this season when the farmers are engaged in the work of harvest. The choice of the 20th of August for congres- sional conventions in all the districts leads the uninitiated observer to suspect a designing motive. It is not usual in any other state to call all the congres- sional conventions on the same day, more especially where, as in the second district, the call is issued only six weeks before the convention. It is not our purpose, however, to find fault with the machine, but rather to admonish repub- licans against blundering into defeat by pursuing methods which have heretofore brought the party into disrepute and choosing candidates in whom the masses have no confldence. While Nebraska is certain to give Blaine and Logan from 25,000 to 50,000 majority, there is still a vory deep-root- ed discontent among the body of the re- publicane which will make itself felt at the coming election in the choice of state officers and representatives in the state and national legislatures. | The republicans of Nebraska have good reason to have distrust in the methods of their leaders who have for years used the party machinery for base ends aud han- dicapped the party with. corporation shackles. The republicans of Nebraska will no longer submit to be represented in congress by dummies, jobbers and corporation henchmen, They will no longer allow the state to be dis- graced by s man of straw in the execu- tive chair, landshark in the land depart- ment, 8 nog-eptity in the licutenant: governor's office, sud & vacuum in graph company, which was owned and | Jawes Corkeny, a prominent lri-hicnntmllcd by Jay Gould, Mr. Bates was lawyer of Trenton and tho head of |General Eckert's right hand man.

They must nominate can- didates who are a platform within them- selves—men whose carecr in privateJand public life affords & substantial guarant- teo that the peopls will be served with hdelity and ability. The anti-monopoly wave that swept over this state two years ago was merely an aggressive protest against corporation misrule through a corruptly manipulated party. It was an open revolt against dishonest and disreputable leaders, who must be discarded and repudiated before the party can successtully appeal for an earnes’ support of the dissatisfied ele- ments. The 12,000 republicans that voted the anti-monopoly ticket two years ago and last year are not to be driven back into line by the party lash, but they must be wooed and won back by the concession of their demands for better government and reputable leadership. party, TI1I0N. All the rival telegraph companies in the United States have been consolidated and pooled against the Western Union, under the management of David Homer Bates. The consolidated telegraph com- pany with its great network of wirce and cable connections across the Atlantic will at once become a very formidable competitor to the Westorn Union monop- oly, which for the time has ceased to be & monopoly at competing points—for rev- enuo only. But tho old anaconda pro. cess will in due time be repeated just as Aaron’s rod, turned into snakes, swal. TELEGRAPH COMPE the others. It will be remembered that Mr. David Homer Bates has sustained confidential relations with General Thomas T. Eckert, the head of the Western Union for moro than twenty years. When General Eckert went into competition with the Western Union monopoly, as President of the Atlantio & Pacific tole-| the Western Union anaconda swallowed the Atlantic & Pacific, Eskert became | one of tho vice-presidents of the Western Union, and Bates became general suporintendent of the eastorn division.

No event in the annals of parliament during the past twenty years has created moreintenseintercstamongallclasses than thestruggle between|the commons and the house of lords over the franchise bill, The resistance of the house of lords to this important reform has aroused the middle and working classes of England to a pitch of excitement which borders on revolution. Two hundred thousand trades people propose to make a concerted de- monstration in Hyde park in favor of the abolition of the house of lords, which is a stumbling block to a popular rule, In thisstruggle with the house of lords, Premier Gladstone, if forced to the wall, may rosort to the same method that was successful during the reign of George I1I, when the lords resisted proposed reforms of Premier Pitt, There were but 145 persons in the house of lords during that crisis, but by raising 338 persons to the peerage the house of lords changed its po- litical comploxion and endorsed the re. form by a large majority, Eor the last fifty years the house of lords has been merely playing with the serious business of British law-making. Dariag all that time there has not been an important measure affecting the rights and interests of the British peoplo that the lords have not violently opposed, and that they have not adopted when threatened with public indignation. They viciously kicked against the abolition of slavery until they were compelled to sur- render. They opposed every bill ex- tending the franchise down to the pres- ent measure, and they ended by passing them all under the strong menace of the commons, Forlcng years they fought Irish emancipation and Jewish emanci pation, but they were compelled to capit- ulate. They showed their teeth when the corn laws were ropealed, but they did not dare to resist when the order to sur- render was given by the duke of Wel- lington. Declaring that they would nev- er consent to the bill to abolish the state church in Ireland, they consented. While this resistance to progress and reform on the part of the house of lords has been extremely irksome and some- times very costly, the British people have got used o 1t in a sort of way as insoparablo from their political system. When any measura of importance is de- manded they know that the lords will resist, a=d also that the lords will sub- mit, and they await the end with as much patience as they can command. Ir is more than probable that some compromise will he reached between Gladatone and the house of lords on the franchise bill. The lords did not throw the bill out. They simply amended it 8o that it should not come into operation until there had been a redistribution of seats, Mr. Gladstone now promises that if they will pass the franchise bill he w.ll introduce a redistribution bill this year at an autumn eession. The difficulty with the lords is that they are by no means more acceptabla than the franchise bill, and if they let the franchise bill pass they will bo abaolutely helpless about securing any change in it. They therefore ask to be shown where the new voters are ito live bafore they agree to let them in. Lord Salisbury, it is reported, is for standing firm now, but he has lost his leadership as a fighting man. The majority takes counsel of cooler eads. In the meantime the radicals in the provinces are straining on the leash, in their eagerness to open a campaign against the house of lords, and Mr. Glad- stone has indicated not very obscurely, that_he will not be sorry to see it started if the necessity should arise, Opinion is divided aa to whether a compromise may be eficcted immodiately or during the au tumn session. The conservative leaders are anxious for the compromise now, so as toimmediately stop the agitation and are studious in pointing out that the lords have not tinally rejected the bill, even for the present session; that their vote of the other night merely postponed the reading of the measure for that particular night; that the measure, therefore, is not dead, but in a state ot suspended anima- mation, and that if Gladstone will evon yet offer a decent compromise the bill can be taken up and disposed of. Another chango in the feelings of both sides may come before Monday, as the news from Kgypt is gettig hourly worse, and appar- ently, the deluge there is close at hand* the history of telegraph competitton ever o self-sustaining. from yoar to year. Tur centennial business atill koeps up. On last Monday the good peoplo of Mid- dletown, Connecticat, celebrated the cen- tennial anniversary of tho incorporation of that city. After all Middletown must havo heen one of the youngest towns in Now England, and the celebration does not commemorate any wonderful event. Tho revolutionary war was over boforo Middletown had a beginuing, and yet when the Connectleat town was forty-six yoars old, in 1830, Brooklyn had but 12- 000 inhabitants; Chicago, none; Cleve- dand, 1076; Detroit, 2222; 8t. Louis, b,- 852, and San Francisco, nome, When Middletown was elghty years old, Omaha was born, Now Omaba has o population of oyer 50,000, and Middletown has little less than 10,000, This simplo statement shows the immense prog- ress which the country has made. Tuexk has been an undercurrent among some of the councilmen n favor of a spcial election for mayor, but so far it has failed to materializsy, Mr. Murphy is signing all the bonds as ‘*‘acting- mayor,” and this is naturally croating some inquiry among the purchasers of bonds.

When France began her war of aggression in Anam, sympathy was gener- ally with Chioa, The territories invaded owed alleglance to the latter, and their sovereign received his investiture from and rendered tribute to Pekin, Had the latter taken a srtong stand at the outset and informed France that it would not permit conquests from its feudatory, at the same time backing up the inthnation with a display of force in Tonquin, 1t is reasonable to suppose that its course ILY BRE--SATURDA which war will be declared and naval operations at once begun along the Chinese coast. While this course will, a8 we have said, meet with general ap proval, the old danger of uprisings againat foreigners will be revived by its adoption, as it will inevitably infuriate the lower classes in Chanese seaports. It taken by our naval authorities on that station to guard against attacks upon Americans, It is all & mistake to suppose that in Russia there is no legislative body. The council »f state considers and passes a res- olution upon every new legislative enact- ment, and the czar, as a rule, sanctions the opinion of the majority. KEvery question, before the council adopts a res- olution upon it, is carefully studied by a special committee. There is a powerful lobby composed of the titled, the rich, and the rings of male and female politic- ians, who seek to influence the czar's legislators by various arts. There is no out and out plain and shamelees bribery, but the members of the imperial council are not forbidden to possess different atocks and shares, and they have plenty of them, and draw heavy dividends and interest. Each legislator, too, has num- erous nephews, cousins, and other rela- tives, ever ready to honor the private companies, corporations, and associations | by joining them in some high-salatied | capacity. Occasionally, even marriages | are concluded among the titled pagpers and monied plebeians just on account of | some bills pending before the conncil The projected Siberisn railway furnishes a good illustration of the methods of the | council, Twenty years ago the imperial | government decided to build tkat road. | Then the questions as to the route came | up. One special committee after ansther | was appointed to study the matter, and scores of the government engineers have made fortunes on the job. Especially the question has been raised in the coun- cil, and always there has been foundsome reason fur delay. Three imperial s were issued at different times, each di- recting a difterent route for the road. and yet to-day nobody knows when or where the Siberian railroad will be built. Such ia the power of the lobby. The halls of the senate are also empty. That august body, Russia's supreme court, has to review all the celebrated casos that stir the czar’s sujbects, If the senate stenographic reports published in full, the world would have had a large number of highly interesting Russian dramas. Unfortunately they are keptin darkne: Presidential elections in Mexico, asin France, always take place on Sunday. General Porfirio Diaz was elected presi- dent of the Mexican republic last Sun- day. The best evidence that Senor Diaz has the confidence of the bulk of the Mexican people, and tkat he fairly repre- sents that body of public sentiment in which reats their hopes of the nation’s happy future, is furnished by this fact. That _there has been a good deal of un- friendly fecling toward Diaz plainly ap- pears from the eevere and persistent ad- verse criticism of his candidacy by a por- tion of the Mexican press, and even by some journals of liberal and progressive opinfon. He was opposed bitterly by the clerical and liberals both. The latter op- pose him because his accession would be a resumption of despotic military rule, There was some warrant for the repeated assertion that the electoral outcome had been prederermined by the men in power can hardly be doubted. It is, in a greater or less degree, in all the republics that ever existed In Brasil the liveration ol slaves, pro- vided for loug ago by the laws, whose operation has boen retarded, is going on in some of the provinces and the slave owners in the Empire are not in the hap- piest mental state imaginable. The Em- peror, Don Pedro, has governed Brazil with commendable wisdom, but as a re- former, he has noc advanced very ra- pidly on account of the conservative in- fluences which intervene. One back- ward feature of Brazil is thstthe laws prohibit the employment of persons not in the pablic schools, however well qualified they may be as teachers. This medirval arrangement will doubtless vanish with slavery. Rocently, a Jowess, who had passed a splendid examination for a teacher's position in one of the schools, was set aside for this reason aud an inferior teacher was given the place The prime minister stated in the s:nate that the obnoxious law is sull in operation, The retirement of Iglesais in Peru will eerve to test the possibility of establish ing any permanent government in that country, Order and securily for life and property have been maintained since the close of the war chietly by Chili, and it is ot least doubtful whether the country will not now relapso into anarchy—in fact, whether Caceras, of whom we hear 85 much now in the despatchos, is not another name for anarchy, What the Peruvians need moro than anything is a stable government which will prevent revolution at all hazards; but does the government furnish tho matesial for such government! Calderon's fiasco, succeed- cd by Iglosias's retiroment, shows that the queetion is not settled.

The government of the Netherlands did not probably consult the sentiment would have received genoral approval. Tho only thing that would have inter- fered with this is the fear of Chinese up- rising in the treaty ports against foreign- ors in general; but it uay be taken for granted that, had the government of the flowery kingdom gone to war in an open, manly way, natlons interested in those ports would have adopted prompt and ef- licient measures to protect their citizens from mob violence.
