Box Buzasere Oany StaNtoN and Susan B. Anthony have openly declared for the “Plumed Knight.” Mr. Blaine's per- ®onal magnetism is beginning to tell. Now that Direotor Smith has annexed an organ and a monkey to the [glee club ‘we bespeak a kind word for the combi- nation. Pass around the hat and the Bee will drop in a nickel. Pror. LANE now bobs up serenely as a candidate forstatesuperintendent of public fnstruction. There is no doubt that Mr, Lane has qualifications for the position and would make a good state superinten- dent. ‘WaEN the irregularities of State Audi- tor Leidtke were discovered, Governor Nance at onoe called him to account, but Glenn Kendall and his ring of land sharps have been allowed to operate at the capi- tol unmolested. WASHINGTON county republicans, with some reason of justice, claim that they are entitled to the district attorneyship, but we presumo that chairman Estabrook does not share their views in this re- gard. Tae Chicago Tribune is & good news- paper property, and so is the Omaha Bez. According to the Omaha Republian they are owned by the same parties. We are not ashamed of the 'joint ownership as long as our editorials appear in both papers.; Mz. Cuevenanp and Mr. Hendricks met by chance and embraced. That em- ‘brace must have been very cordial and sincere, especially when it is borne in mind that Hendricks, on the night be- for Cleveland was nominated, entered into a plot with Boss Kelly and Ben Butler to beat Cleveland and have him-: ng the heat of the contest of 1882, that the editor of the Repudli- can, according to his own statement, oconceived the idea that a male quartette of good singers would add enthusiasm to the cause of republicanism in the Third district. This is the first time that we ever heard of his conceiving an idea, and as we have only his word for it, we rather believe that the idea was con- ceived by the same party who sent him to Kearney to clap & mortgage on an organ that was to grind out sweet music for Union Pacific candidates as an accom- paniment to the Valentine quartette. Tuz porsonal dislike of the BEx againat Mr. Valentine is not such that will com- pel it to support men who wear the brass collar as much as he does, and are up to their necks in jobbery. Asbotween Val- entine and small-bore corporation hench- men we prefer Valentine, whose experi: ence in Congress is at least worth some- thing to the state. If & change is to be made in the Third district it must be an improvement on the present ‘incumbent in point of character and ability. In other words give the people a better man than Valentine, or take the chance of defeat at the hands of a better man from the other party. The Third district has some able republicans whose record and character are unassailable, and whowoula rank with congressmen from the olaer states. ‘W have known all along that Con gressman Weaver's fences were badly out of order, but now we know that he is & doomed man. The Woman's Tri. bune, edited by Clara Bewick Colby, has opened its batteries upon the Nebraska Ajax, and he will have to capitulate un- conditionally, Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby arraigns him as a trattor to the high trust which wasreposed in him, She declares that “he , has the prayer and the rights ' of thosa who could render him no service; of the weak and unrepresented, whpse interests should for that reason have been sacred to him. Having plainly stated to his suffrage friends during the campaign in Nebraska, that he favored the amend- ment, yet being » candidate for congress he had his old record of opposition to woman suffrage in the constitutional convention hunted out frum the dusty garret of the state house, translated into German and distributed by the thousands by all his campaign speakers in the Ger- wan districts. Having entered upon his congressional duties, one of his first acts was to oppose and vote against Hon Keifer's resolution to appoint a commit.- Lee on We 's olaims,” Unless Weaver begs for g and can terms be- tween now and the 20th of August with Mrs. Colby's husband, the valiant col- ~onel of the Nebrasks militis, he may as awel) take to the woods. SCHOOL LAND FRAUDS. More than 2,000,000 acres of land were given by the national government to Nebraska upon her admission into the union as an endowment for publie sohools, colleges and universities, This princely patrimony was set apart by the framers of our constitution as a perms- nent souroe of revenue for educating the people, and the legislature was forever prohibited from alienating any part thereof. To guard against any possible abuse of the power vested in the state of- ficors, charged with the management of our school lanés and wchool funds, the constitution expressly provides that all funds belonging to the state for educational purposes, the interest and income whereof only are to be used, shall cumbency the office has been practically vacant, Those who are in a position to know best what service Mr. Powers | PO! has rendered the state will take no stock in this senselors twaddle, The judges of the supreme court say that at no timehas the business of the -umnei general come before them in better shape than it was during tne term of the present in- cumbent.— Fremont Tribune, The supreme court is not in & position to know all about Mr. Powers' services. 1t is not so much for what he has done, as for what he has failed to do that the basswood attorney genaral is to be re- tired. If we remember right he has been a very useful man to the rings and land sharks at Lincola, by failing to pro- tect the interests of the state where it was within his province to do so. Mr. Powers may not be an absolutely dishon- be deemed as trust funds held by the state and the state shall supply all losses thereof that may in any way accrue, so that the same shall remain inviolate and undiminished. * * * Such summs, with the interest and income thereof, are so- lemnly pledgped for the purposes for which they are granted and set apart, and shall not be trans- ferred to any other fund for other unes. It is & matter of history that tho firat governor of this state was impeached, convicted and removed from of- fico for tampering with the school und andappropriating to his ownuse a large sum oollected from the general govern- ment for the school fund, Since then stringent provisions have been engrafted upon our constitution and placed upon the statute books to guard against the improvident or dishonest disposal of our school lands, and misappropriation of our school funds. But all these safeguards have proven unavalling. When A. G. Kendall was nominated commissioner of public lands and ent man, but he is inefficient and winks at dishonesty and jobbery, unless he is driven to do hia dut OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The deadlock in parlisment over the franchise extension bill continues. The British lords obstinately refuse to back down from their position and Mr. Glad- stone maintaina a firm front that inspires his followers with oonfidence in their final success. The irrepressible conflict will have to be fought out. There is and can be no other lssue be- tweon parties in England until this mat- ter of franchise extension has been defin- itely settled. To imagine that it can be settled in any other than a single way, and that way the granting of what this very agitation has taught the multitude to believe already a right denied them, is to believe that time can be set backward, and the great current of an assumption of power by the people, of the democrat- ization of all governments, be turned upon {tself before it has reached its flood. buildings four years ago Tk Bx entered ita earnest protest against this choice and expressed its conviction without reserve that he was & very dangerous man to be entrusted with the management of the state lands, We then called attention to the fact that Kendall had notoriously been connected with an infamous gang'| of landsharks who trained with Boss Cunningham and the surveyor-genoral's ring that had perpetrated whole- sale frauds in the survey of public lands, During the campaign two years ago the Ber publicly charged this man Kendall with being the head and front of a gang of speculators that was ocarrying on a swindle in the purchase, sale and leas- ing of wschool lands. Like all brazen public plunderers, Kendall rushed into print to denounce the pafty that made this ocharge, as irresponsible, and his fool friends of the Lincoln Journal! went so far as to demand of Tne Bxk the name of its informant; and when Tur BEr referred these scoundrels to Hon. Leander Gerard, of Columbus, they subsided. Kendall was nevertheless re-elocted and in the excltement of the senatorial campaign that followed the state election the achool land swindle was entirely for- gotten. During the early part of the legislative session a long-winded bill reg- ulating the sale and leasing of school lands, was introduced by Grimes, if we mistake not, as prepared and recommend- ed by the commissioner of public lands and buildings. CGirimes, who is now reg- ister of the land office at North Platte, was just the man to serve the purposes of Glenn Kendall and the school land ring. The bill was so ingeniously drawn, and its provisions were so complicated that the committees, if they had not been packed in the interest of the ring, failed to note any improper scheme, The bill passed through both houses by a largema- jority and was approved by the governor, It went into effect in June of last year,and the land sharks began their work in dead earnest. The manner and wmethods of their racally operations were exposed months ago by our Lincoln correspendent, and although Glenn Kendall squirmed and forged all sorts of excuses and explanations, the case made out against him was clear and convincing, It was an open secret at the state capital that hundreds of thousands of acres of land had been leased to Peter Funks, who had no money to invest in lands nor im- provements to make, and whose only ob- ject was to ““turn an honest penny’ by disreputable and dishonest practices, And now comes the Keith coun- ty injunction suit to prevent county officials, who are alleged to have been corruptly influenced in school ap- praisements and through whom the land robbers were to obtain vast tracts of lands, including over 100,000 acres, at nominal figures in defiance of law. This stupendons fraud in Keith county is but the natural sequence of au organized effort on the part of the land commissioner and his pals to line their pockets at the ex-. pense not only of the taxpayers but of the achool children of the present and coming generation, Where was Governor Dawes all this time! Why has he connived at these frauds, or at least failed to pus a stop to this orooked work which it is his sworn duty to pre- vent? In the first place as governor he is guardian not only of the public wel. fare but of the public property. As a wmember of the public board of lands and buildings he is, under the constitution, charged with the ocare of the educational lands and educational funds. It will not do to plead the baby act at this time,and claim that he was not aware of the improper disposal by lease or sale of the public school lands, These mat- ters have been brought to his attention through the Bre and through pa- pers. of less note. They were an open scandal upon his administration Wo cannot comprehend why uno action was taken by the execut; CeE— TuEne are some aspirants who seek to eapplant Isssc Powers, Jr., as attorney goueral, clsiming that during his in The sole remaining question of interest touches the means that are to be em- ployed to win the triumph of liberalism, and the amunt of loss which con atism will agree to suffer before it rm: and submits to the inevitable. Ahe chief doubt now is_whet her par- liament will be prorogued ‘or dissolved, with the probabilities in favor of the former. Mr. Gladstone does not wish 1 to the country until men whose battles he has been fighting shall have a yoice in the selection of a successor to this par- lisment, If the ministry shall adhere to that resolution, then there are but two ways out of the present difficulty. The franchise bill will be again presen- ted to the lords, If, satisfied with their show of power, they surrender, we shall hear no more of the matter. If they persist, there will be no escape from the creation of a sufficient number of peers to give the liberals a majority. Probably the mere threat of this would be enough, as it was fifty years ago, to make the upper house Iay down its arms, . In any case, two things may be counted on: The franchise bill will become law, because it is in line with British progress, and the people are fighting on its mide. The menaces against the house of lords will bear no other fruit than words. The English people have no appetite for revo- lutions, and are adverse to sudden and rapid changes. They will get what they want. The end of the agitation in Eng- land is not difficult to foresee. In the methods by which it is to be reached lies the only present uncertainty. It is safe to eay that those methods will be the least violent that will give the le what they ask. g it land has failed in its attempt to se- cure from the European conference con- sent to the reduction of the burdens of Kgypt in debt and interest needed to prevent annual blnkmpuy. snd the first step taken by the English administration ia to throw Egyptian industry into con- sion by insisting on back tsxes. This ingenious device will probably do little towards meeting the clalms of bondhold- ers,but it may do a good deal towards per- suading the conference to agree to scale the interest on the Egyptian consolidated debt when it meets next October, France has given England a severe check in pre- venting Mr. Gladstone's propositions from bning accepted, but the result will probably improve the position of the liberal ministry in parliament, where the opinion steadily grows that Ezypt must be held and made self-supporting. 80 vague and contradictory are the re- ports which reach usooncerning the state of'things in the Soudan that it is hard to form any very sottled ideas as to what is really occurring there. In one telegram we road that the Mahdi is carrying all before him, in another that the governor of Dongola has signally worsted him in open fight. Close on the heels of this news comel tement that letters have been received from General Gordon of & hopeful character; but this assurance as to the safety of one whose fate so many are watching with keenness and dread is again doomed to sudden denial in the re- port that Khartoum has surren. dered with all its garrison to its be. leaguering fanatical hordes. What is to become of the unfortunate Egyptian patient when her dootors disagree thus? Throughout all the confusion flickers u once and awhile mention of some fres stop made towards fulfilling the promise that at some remote period an expedition for the relief of General Gordon will be dispatched. Bpt even this much-mooted event is seemingly liable to suffer from the ups and downs of England’s political weather, and the date as originally fixed has already u one severe relapses. First June was named, then July, and now we learn that it has been finally ar- ranged tha: September shall see the set- an? forth of this tardy expedition for whluh all sense of national duty has cried 80 long, SeiL Cin Rawadan, theforty days'fast kept by devout Moslems, closes tgh week, and, according to past precedent, the Mahdi may be oteuud to use his utmost strength in the capture of Khartoum, the isolation of Buakin and the maroh north- ward on Wady Halfa and Assousn. But for the unexpected vigor with which Oolonel Gordon has been conducting operations, it is altocether probable that the push down the Nile valley would be made with a force large enough to make its way over a part of the 700 miles which soparates the Mahdi's advance from Cairo, Over all, or half this distance, it is utterly improbable that he will pass. The Mahdi is as remarkable a prophet as Islam has produced, but the sacred green facings on the uniforms of his fanatical followers are no protection against the breechloader, which in these days out- talks prophecy. Cable advices from China indicate that war with France is now inevitable unless the French government modifies its de- mands. (Great alarm prevails in Chinese rts and many foreigners but more es- pecially french subjects are seekingsafety on ships of war, or appealing for protecion to British and American authorities. It was on May 11 that that wise and cautious diplor Li Hung Chang, on behalf igned the preliminary treaty n. Its second article provided for the ‘‘immediate” evacuation of ocer- tain territories and fortrosses, Includ- ing Langson, Six weeks Ilater 700 of General Millot's ferces are said to have been attacked by 4000 Chinese regulars at Langson and driven back with heavy loss This was the cause of the complications out of which M. Ferry has made his escape by China's paying the heavy indemnity. Despite the drift of recent dospatches from China and from Paris, it has been evident that the situation in the east was very oeriti- The ohief political issue in the ap- proaching election of members of the German Reichatag is the colonial and in- surance polioy of the government. The conservatives wish to push ocolonial ex tensions, and to form national fire and life insurance companies. The liberals oppose these successive efforts to oen- tralize business affairs under imperial supervision. The campaign is being now conducted on these lines, although the day of the election has not yet been fixed, Prince Bismarck in s recent speech rather discouraged colonial acqui- sition, but advocated a policy of strict protection of colonial interests, There seems to be a kind of jingo tidal wave Ening over the world this year. France as got as many fingers as sho has got in foreign pies; Germany is strugyling for a vigorous colonial policy. England is adding to her foreign responsibility in spite of her liberal government and Russia is on & still hunt in Asia, The annual monwuvres of the German fleet, which have recently taken place at Kiel, it seems were far from creditable as a display of seamanship, The most trusted observers of the German govern- ment have now reported to Prince Bis- marck that the fleet made a miserable exeibition of itself, This indeed must be quite galling to the pride of that statesman, whose lively ambition it has long been to make the position of the empire relatively as strong with its naval force as with its army, Bat really the chancelior has only him- self to blame for the shortcomings of his fleet. Since the establishment of the Gerndan navy only a few years ago, he has blindly acted upon the strange theory that a Prussian general is capable of do- ing all things, and experience to the con- trary does not serve to take the bandages from his eyes. A few years ago, when General Von Stosch was in command of the fleet, the great ironolad frigate Kur- furrst was sunk in the Knglish Channel by a sister ship through careless manceu- vering on both bides, and there was a dreadful loss of life as well as property. This disaster eventually cost General Von Stos 0 had suddenly beenmade an anmiral, his pesition, although noth- ing else might reasonably have been ex- pected from the custom of wearing spurs ona quarter deck. The present high ad- miral of the German navy, General Von Capriva, also wears spurs; and, as the natural consequence, there is not that progress made in the efliciency of the fleet which would doubtless be wit- nessed if a trained sea-dog, who knows marling-spikes rather than spurs, were its controlling spirit. Unfortunately for Germany, her navy is so young that many years must pass before it is likely to produce great officers of true and ap- roved sea training. Until this is done Bfluu Bismarck ought really to borrow a few capable men for the higher ?u in this branch of his forces from Eng- land, perhaps, or from Holland or Rusaia —France being out of fhe question. .« The lamentable condition of Cuba ap- pears to have forced the Spanish govern- ment to seriously consider a comprehen- sive plan of relief. Trustworthy reports from Madrid show that the committee on reforms is endeavoring to lighten the burden of taxation in many ways. It is proposed that a part of the diplomatic expenses heretofore paid out of Cuban revenues shall hereafter be paid out of the home government; that the island shall in future pay only its fair share of mail subsidies; that it shall not continue to pay expenses that should be charged to Porto Rico; that duties on ex ports shall be reduced, and tha- the,colonial tariffs which opprest the Cuban producer shall be cat down or suppressed. It is also suggested that a part of the taxes due shall be re- leased, and thatthe burden of debt shall be decreasedt by conversion and by making new arrapgements with creditors. The government has at last discovered that nothing but a generous and lenient policy can prevent universal bankruptcy and ruin in Cuba. 1f the island is to be of any value to Spaiu in the future the exactions of the last few years must be discoatinued, The problem which confronts the Madrid government is a difficult one, however, and it is by no means certain that a sat- isfactory solution will be found or that the proper remedy will be applied. The latest information about the plans of the Irish nationalists indicates that they are all at sea on the fubjeet of the Irish-American national league conven- tion to be held at Boston, r. Parnell, who had announced his intention of be- ing present, now says that he is not strong enough to stand the fatigues of an ocean voyage, and almost immediately afterward at Boston demonstration, Messrs, Thomas Sexton, M, P. for Slif'o county, and William Redmond, for Wexford, will therefore be depu- ted to represent the mational ?:Hy. Mr, Sexton oftered to at. nd the Boston convention on his way to Australis, and is intrusted with a special measage from the London leaders of the party. He will also address meet- ings of the local branches of the Irish national league in America on his way from New York to San Francisco, and will spend several months in Australla, visiting all the colonies, Mr, Redmond only goes to Americs to attend the con- vention, and will return immediately to England, = The recent announcement by cable that the committee of the British house of commons on the India railways have agreed to recommend a loan of $140,000., 000 to the government of India for the purpose of extending the railway system of ‘{::t country, is of some iuterest to Auwericans, and especially to American farmers, Itistrue that the principal avowed object of extending the system is to make provision for the tribution of food in famine years. True, the recommendation of the com- mitteo is based upon the report of the famine ocommissioners of 1873, that i3 would be necessary to construoct 5,000 miles of railroad in order to pre- . | the rage, and vent the recurrence of famine. Baut, while this isall true, it can not be doubted that one motive, and not the lonat, in & desire to develop India asa source of wheat supply. By the proposed extension of the system a very large wheat-producing area would be brought into communication commercially with the marketa of the world, and the effect upon Ametican farmers might prove to be somewhat 8. — NEBRASKA OITY.

An apple tree in the wostern part of the city is now in bloom for the second time this year, it having already turned off one crop.

Brick laying has also been commenced on the Wymond building, corner of Eighth and Main streets. This block when completed will be one of the finest in the city. The democrats have organized a large Cleveland and Hendrick's club, composed of our best citizens, which is increasing in numbers almost daily. A Glee club in connection with the above has also started. Republicans are hard to find, persuasion—no Blaine and Logan club, no glee club, no enthusiasm, no noth- ing. Messrs.

Several carloads of Iowans came over partly to go to the circus but mainly to get a good square drink for a change. The new barb wire factory building is completed and as soon as the machinery is put in place will be started. It will give employment to about twenty-five men and will prove s valuable addition to the city's manufacturing interests, Chas.

It consists in having the hair ocut so that it will be longer in front and grad- ually decrease in length toward the back, which causes it to stand up and requires no parting.
