Dorsky Chalrman, has not been He is scandal As yet Ben Butler charged with any scandal, proof. Mgz, WeAvER continues ‘‘to arrive un- expectedly” in every town in this district. 1t is the unexpected that always hap- pens. GoverNor Dawes has load enough to carry for himeelf, but with Jim Laird on his back he will be like Sinbad, the snilor, carrying the Old Man of the Sea. Secrerary TeLLER is out in Colorado looking after Mr. Hill's senatorial shoes. Mr. Hill has outflanked him by swallow- ing the two republican papers in Denver. Tov Kmpars and Jerry Wilson will probably mix up a first-class *‘Tom and Jerry” for Uncle Sam, by the time they get through with that sham investiga- tion, RErunLicAss of the firat district have it withln their power to nominate a can- didate for congress, whoso nomination ‘would mean an election beyond a reason- able doubt. If they nominate Weaver they will run the risk of defeat. Now comes a scandal on St. John. Ho is charged with eating rock and rye candy and mince pie with brandy in it some years ago. OF coarse his friends say there is not a word of truth in it. POINTE Jeremiah Wilson, whose eflicient ex posure of Credit Mobilier frauds in con- | gress, secured him the lucrative client- | ago of the Union Paclfic railroad, is now | in the city taking depositions concerning charges for the alloged exorbitant transporting mails and government sup- | plies over the Union Pacific. A few sug- | Mr. Wilson in his traflic gestions may assist arduous labor of manager, general freight agent, and cor- poration employes, Under the act of 1806 congress has prohibited any rail- road or bridge company from exacting a greater charge for the transportation of government supplies, troops, or em ployes of the United States across a bridge spanning any navigable river than the mileago rate over the road leading toor This act applies to Omaha, examining the from such bridge. the Union Pacific bridge at which was chartered subject to congress- ional regulation of rates. For a period of nearly ten years the railroad comp- any, which owns and operates this bridge, charged the government ten dollars per carload, or five cents per hundred pounds for all the military and Indian supplics transported across this bridge. 1t has also exacted fifty cents for transferring every soldier, oflicer or employe of the government back and forth, when the mileage rate for the alleged distance of four miles should have been twenty cents going westward and sixteen cents going eastward, But the actual distanc between the Omaha depot and the Union Pacific transtor depot, on the east side of the river, is not over two miles and a halt. The pretended measurement of four miles between theso two points was a Credit Mobilier fraud. In order to get a subsidy for a fictitious | mile of road, the original starting point in Omaha was measured from a point a mile north of the present bridge, and the tomporary tracks laid down on the river bank were subsequently taken up. The so-called official point, *0,” as fixed by General Dodge on the east side, is nearly a mile east of the Union Pacific depot. The four-mile measurement botween Omaha and the ‘‘initial terminus,” called, includes the distance from the old telegraph poles, one mile north of the bridge, to the point **0.” So much for that swindle. If Mr. Wilson will take the trouble to examine quartermasters, commissaries and their clerks, he may be able also te got light on more outrageous impositions oven than the bridge frauds. For in- stance, Rock Springs coal, which has been sold in the Omaha market by the Union Pacific railroad at from $7 to $8 per ton, has for years been hauled to Omaha from Rock Springs, Wyoming, ss we are told, at one cent and a half per ton per mile. The distance from Rock Springs to Omaha being 800 miles the government has paid to the Union 80~ They say that he might have eaten mince pie, but that there was no brandy in 1t. Tae friends of the late W. B. White, in Burt county, have brought forward as a candidate for state treasurer W. B. Roberta who stands high in that sec- tion of the country, and as we are in- formed will be supported by delegates from several counties Nebraska. E. P, VixiNG's book “An Inglorious Columbus, " will shortly beissued from the pressof Applelon’s, New York City. It will be profusely illustrated and will certainly be regarded as one of the most import- ant contributions ever made to the his- tory of the discovery of America, Tae mechanics and laborers of Omaha are organizing for mutual co-operation for the coming campaigo. This is eminently proper, but they must seo to it that the self-styled iabor agitators who have ped- dled out working men's votes at every election, and blackmailed candidates of all parties, are sent to the rear. Generar Hazen, chief signal officer, has obtained the consent of the postmas- ter-general to holst cold wave flags on post-offices for the benefit of farmers. This will prove a great benefit to farmers, There is but one signal oflice in Nebras- ka, and that is located in Omaha. The cold-wave flag will therefore wave from the flag staff on our post-ofiice, and we suppose farmers from all parts of the state will visit Omaha three times a day to see whether the tlag is flying. A crear deal is being said by thelrish and German vote in the state of New York, but & very fow persons have any in northeastern 5 Pacific 812 per ton for carrying coal to Omaha, which the company sells at re- tail in Omaha for 87 to $8. In other words, the government has bought coal at 82 per ton at Rock Springs and paid $12 for its transportation, making $14 per ton for what can be obtained for §7. By a peculiar system, which Mr. Wil- son may be abloto oxplain, ths greator proportion of supplies that are intended or Omsha or polnts boyond, are billed to Council Bluffs, and then re-billed to Omaha, The through rates to both points are the same for carload lots, but by ttis re-billing an extra charge is ex- acted for the so-called haul of four miles from the point “‘O."” or point ix, These are a fow pointers which Mr Jer- emiah Wilson might profit by. They show that the Union Pacific managers regard Uncle Sam as a *‘chump,”who can be im- posed upon at their pleasure. Mr. Kim- ball and Mr. Shelby, of course, have never heard of these little discrepancies. They will probably charge it all up to poor Vining, who was so deeply absorbed by the question whether Heimlot was a woman, that he did not have time to com- pute the “‘difforential calculus” between the Union Pacific and Uncle Sam, Burone any member of the last legisla- ture is re-elected, his record should be thoroughly scanned. There were several members of the last legislaturo who fought vory bravely over the dead issues of the rebellion, but who voted with the railroads, and against the people every time. There aro others who are very rampant about the monopolists, but were always ready to vote for jobs and steals, and way down deep they were playing shuttle-cock and battle-dore on anti- monopoly bills. Before the campaign goes very much further, we shall refer to these frauds and ‘‘snides,” if any of them aro re-nominated, accurate ideas on the supject. The cen- sus of 1880 does not divide the ‘‘males of voting age” according to nativity, but it shows the following divisions from which calculations can be made: Total population, native, 3,871,412; foreign, 1,211,879 (including 65,104 colored). Of the forelgn born, 499,445 were born in Ireland, and 356,113 in the German em- pire. Total number of males of voting age, (white) native, 802,004; foreign born, 536,608, It will be seen that there are nearly 150,000 more Irish than Germans in New York, It is esti- mated that for every voter there are five persons, and dividing 699,446 by 5 we find that there are 90,880 Irish votes In New York, and dividing 850,113 by b we find that there are 71,222 German votes, 1t has been claimed that the Irish vote in New York now amounts to 150,000, but this estimate is altogether too large an increase in four years. Asa rule the Irish vote the democratic ticket, but it is oconceded that in this campaign a large number will for the first time vote the republican ticket. The Irishmen of New York have it within their power to maks the election of Blaine a certainty and will probably doit. O1HER LANDS THAN OURS. The franchise bill coritinues to be the all absorbing topic of political discussion Great Britain. Tho standard bearers of previous political crisis in England point very conclusively to the final adoption of this great measure. The extension of the franchise to 2,000,000 new voters will require another measure providing for a re-allotment of seats which will give these new voters a share of members, and at the same time afford a reasonable guaran- tee that the majority composed of liber- als shall not completely stamp out all opposition, The real isue therefore is which runy shall make the reapportionment of the house of commons atter the franchise bill has been adopted, The character of such @ bill may determine the balance of the political power for some time to come. Hence the tories, knowing that the fram- ing of it will fall into the hands of the present government if the present par- liament lasts, are eager to force a dissolu- tion of parlisment. They wish to lnsjeot the franchise bill in order to provoke the government to RS FOR JERRY U'II,.S’U,\" dissolve considering that a new parliament will be more favorable On the other ,.m..nwm to them than the present. | hand the liberals, knowing that the tories will criticise adversely, and if possibe de- feat, a sweeping scheme of redistribu- rion, think that their best, if not their only chance of getting such promptly through parliament, lies in passing the franchise bill first, because | then the tories will be so willing to face | » goneral election, on the present allot- | ment of soats, but with constituencies | awollen by the new voters, that they will | accept a redistribution scheme as the lesser of two evils. The strong point in the tory strategy is their command of the house of lords, enabling them to keep off the franchise bill, and thereby to secure, either now or within the next eighteen months, a gen- eral election in which the present voters will be the arbiters, On the other hand, the strength of the liberals lies in the fact that the tories do not venture open- ly to oppose the extension of the fran- chiso. That would be unpopular, and it would seem inconsistent with their con- duct in lowering the borough franchise in a scheme | 1807, Hence there is a certain unreality in tho language held by both partie. o liberals «cclare that it is impomsible to pass two such great measures as a franchise bill and a redistribution bill in the same ses- sion, impossible even to keep them pend- ing at the same time. The one train must be got well away out of the station before the other can be made up to fol- low it. Yet their chief real motive is the desire to have a means of compelling the tories to accept the ministerial redistri- bution bill. The tories complain of the unfairness of separating things so closely connected, but their real motive is to dictate a redistribution bill favorable to themaelves by the threat of precipitating a dissolution on tho present suffrage. The question now is, “What will the poers do when the bill goes up to them pin November next?” They will ave four months to think over the posi- n, and they will have heard a grent sald in the country not only about the bill, but about themselves. They may then feel that they have sufliciently shown their independence, or they may foar a further outbreak of popular _in nation, If thirty peers go over, or if & somewhat larger number stay away, the bill will then be carried. This of courss is the hopo of the government—a hope which they think good enough to out- weigh the worry and fatigue of an extra session ot parliament, with the loss of many measures which they have had to drop in this session for the sakeof closing it at a date earlier than usual. According to latest advices from China the demands of France will be rejected and the war alveady begun will have to be fought out. The capture of Kelung does not seem to have been an affair out of which even a French despatch writer can extract any considerable amount of *‘glory.” No ro- sistanco ‘was made, no fighting occurred, and no difliculty was encountered. The admiral gave a signal; the troops went ashore and the town was theirs. The Chinese force ‘‘retired,” by which we must understand that they ran away, as they made no resistance and were seen by nobody, even In rear view. So far as is reported the only person who inter- posed any obstacle or objection to the proceedings was the British vice consul, who sent a paper prote:t to the admiral and then went on board the British gun- boat. Buats the capture of the town cost nothing in accomplishment it is not cer- tain that it will not involve a bill of some kind to bo paid hereafter. The British vice consul warned the French admiral that Kelung was protected under treaty with Bugland, and if the vice consul was right in his statement the possibilities of uncomfortable results are by no means small, [f Great Britain chooses to ob- ject to the proceedings had in the case there will be no running away, no easy abandonment of the objection, and the blowdless victory may prove to be much more costly than it appears to have been. From the first France’s most serlous danger in the east has boen not from Chinese troops, with whom French soldiers can easily deal, but from possi- ble complications with western nations, which have very complex relations and interests in the east; and the danger in this direction is rendered all the greater by the fact that France's uropean neighbors are not particularly well pleased to see the Freuch power greatly oxtended in Asia, The information which Henry M Stanley brings with him to England from the Congo country is well calcu- lated to awaken a new interest in the pending diplomatic controversy over the control of West Africa. It gives us more accurate knowledge than we have had yet respecting the extent and char- acter of the country tributary to the Congo river, and amply vindicates the wisdom of the policy which Mr. Stanloy has pursued in his dealings with the na- tive tribes of that region, ¥rom the mouth of the Congo to Stan- ley Pool, 1400 mile farther inland than from New Orleans to St, Paul, there are satisfactory facilities for commercial ex- changes in the numerous trading stations which have been established between these two points, The natives are on the whole friendly and well disposed toward white traders, but one tribe, the Ba Sundis, manifesting any hostility to them. The recent statement of Bracon- nier to the effect that the Congo is not able above Stanley Pool for steam cafts is sl Stanley’srapart to bo whoily uPYruo, having 'l:&? a mean low water depth of twelve feet more, than 1,000 miles above the pool. Tho expanse of torritory tributary to the Congo is so~vast that its limits are only to be conjectured at present, but its rela- tive proportions are faintly indlcated by 74,000 miles of navigable rivers which later advices tell us are accessible from Stanly pool, The most important of Mr. Stanley's views is his strong disapproval of the pro- posed troaty between Great Britain and Portugal for the control of commerce on the lower Congo. Whether Great Britain will ratify this treaty after Mr, Stanley's positive warning that Portuguese su- fi:umwy over the mouth of the river will o inimical to British interests is prob- lematical. But, in any event, the de- velopment of an enormous commerce on the Congo is assured, and other nations will not permit the greed of Eogland or the absurd pretensions of Portugal to deprive them of their share of it, The dispatches from Germany indicate that Bismarck is by no means an inatten- tive spectator of the course of events in bitter hostility to Franro, many uluh conservatives maintain that Bismarck would not interferein the Egyptiansettle- ment. The peace party and the liberal papers which support Mr. Gladstone, the other hand, are vigorously pointing on out that willing as Germany might be to sce a war botween France and England, | she would also b able to scize upon such a crisis as the opportunity for ridding | herself forever of the threatened ““war of revenge.” A single generous act to aid the French republic in an hour of need would do more to promote good feeling and blot out the rankling memories of Sedan than a century of distrustiul peace spent in drilling armies and perfecting military vrganizations. The sudden death of the Duke of Wel- lington, as he was cntering a railway train at Brighton, has caused an enor. mous sensation in socioty circles, and re- calls the death of his father, the Iron Duke, which occurred almost as sudden, in 1852, at Walmer Castle. The duke who has just died was 77 years old and childless. He was married in 1820 to Lady Elizabech Hay, who was the daugh- ter of the Marquis of Tweeddale and a celebrated beauty, but the union was never blessed with children, The present death raises to the Ducal dignity the eldest living nophew of the late dul.e, Henry Wellesley, & lieutenant colonel in the Grenadier Guards, and for- merly a member of Parliament from An- dover, The new heir presumptive is the new duke's younger brother, Lieutenant- Colonel Arthur Charles Wellesley, of the Grenadier Guards, whose domestic life has been clouded by a sad scandal, He was married twelvo years ago to Miss Kathleen Willlams, by whom he had three children, now aged respectively 11, 8and b years. Aftor a few years of marital prosperity, the dashing gren- adier became enamored of Kave Vaugh, a pretty and popular danseuse at the iety theatre. Last summer he accom- panied her upon her provincial tour, and the scandal became so mnotorious that Mra. Wellesly had no difficulty in obtain- ing a divorce on the ground of 'adultery. The climax of Colonel Wellealey's infatu- ation with the pretty dancer was reached a fow weeks ago, when he took her to Paris and madoe her his wife, As there is now but one life between Colonel Wellesley and the dukedom, it is not at all impossible that the whilom queen of the ballet may not yet wear the coronet of a duchess. Thero is no longer any doubt that the Spanish government is seriously alarmed about the disaffection in the ranks of the army, which has lately led to violent out- breaks at Barcelona, The oflicial and semi-official journals, to be sure, persist in denying that there is any dangerous or widespread insubordination, and Senor Ruez Zorilla, the revolutionary leader, who is now in London, is also military uprising and of any recent com- munication with the revolutionists in Spain. There can be little doubt, however, that Senor Zorilla, whother he is for the moment in Ge- neva or DParis or London, is the real director of the movement which is agitating all the northern part of Spain. The simister activity of the revolutionary propaganda has lately been alarmingly visible, and the government is taking severe repressive measures. These con eist mostly in the removal from active service of suspected officers, but in many cases the punishment has been extended to dismissed from the army. In the case of one regiment stationed at Barcelona, no less than seventeen officers, including the colonel, have been cashiered within the past few days on the charge of dis- loyalty. Earl Granville’s statement in the house of lords that negotiations with Mexico for a new treaty of commerce would shortly be resumed, recalls the recent fact that the diplomatic relations between England and Mexico, 8o rudely sus- pended at the fall of the Maxmillian em- pire, have been resumed, & settlement having been reached as to the old English debt. Diplomatic relations between France and Mexico were re-established in 1880, and this was soon followed by the establishment of a French bank in the city of Mexico. At that time there seemed to be an idea that French capital would counter- act the alleged baneful influences of American capital then pouring into the country. A semi-oflicial paper went 80 tar as to say at that time: “We ap- ‘plaud the protection that is givo to Buropean capital, which is the one we *requiro and which will be moro eflica- ‘cious to arrest tho influence of the ‘American olemont,” With the develop- ment of railroad and commercial enter- prises this absurd hostility is dying out. Still, Mexico looks with long'ng eyo up- on Europoan money, and it is to her credit that sho is “making ith Eng- land. We aro interested in this matto a8 it gives us another rival in tho contest for the Moxican trade. The recent outbreak at Brussels was mainly due to the conflict betwoen politi- cal parties over the educational (ues- tions, The recent abolition of sectarian schools has brought on a conflict between the Catholic, or clerical party, who de- sire roligious teaching or the public schools, and the liberals, who oppose such a policy. There could be no ques- tion better adapted than this to excite public feeling, and the riots which are threatened in Brussels are the natural outcome of the recent history of Belgium. The question of public instruction ap- peals to religious and anti-religious bigot- ry, and it appeals also to interest, Marshal Serrano, one of the three fam- ous Spaniards of the age, is reported dy- ing. He ls seventy-four years old. The pages of romance geph,r. few more ro- markable careers than this man's, When a lad a private in the Spanish army, he has been, since 1844, dictator, captain- general, exile, forelgn minister, president of the senate, soldier of fortune, com- mander in chief, regent, president of a republic, inspirer of sedition, prime minister of a king and lover of a queen. This 1s a typical Spanish history. Pos- sessed of wondorfal ability, as hls conn- try is of natural gifts, both he and it have been for two generations striking exam- ples of energy misspent. Mr, Gladstone's land act of 1882 was probably the nearest approach to co munism which has yet been made in any legisiative body. The operation of the law has only been partial, owing to the inability of the courts to handle the mass of business beforethem.

Who Wents to P]dV Governor Another Term, A Few Reasons Why he Should Be Shelved—-The First District Must Nominate a Man We Can Elect, Nenraska Crry, Neb., Aug. 15, To the Editor of 11k B The action of the Saline county con- vention in allowing Governor Dawes to name the delegates to the state conven- tion, establishes a precedent in the polit- ical history of the state; and it will be in perfect keeping with this precedent to allow Mr, Dawes to name his successor when the state convention assembles in Omaha on tbe 27th inst. And if it is the intention of the ‘‘ring master” to make him the standard bearer, it would be better for the party to concede thatmuch to him, so that when he is defeated, an he certainly will be, Dawes, and not the party will be to blame. With the record he has made in two years past by commutting the sentences of two criminals who were condemned to the gallows, and his being hunu in efligy by the Hall county people; and his action in retaining certain officers in power after the matter had been thoroughly investigated by the legisla- ture; and other points to be shown up hereafter, the republicans prefer to nom- inate him in prefereno to such true and tried men as Col. J. B. Dinsmore of Clay, Col. Crabb of York, Hon. J. W, Gilchrigt of Saunders, Gen. Thayer of Hall, Mr. Burton of Harlan, and others that T could mention, and be defeated. The whole blame must not rest altogether upon Mr. Rosewater. For the subscriber knows quite a sprinkle of straight-out deep-dyed-in-the-wool re- publicans who will néver vote for him, and they are not such cowards as to go “‘ducking” when the polls are opened, like Mr. Weaver did last fall. OTOE COUNTY fully endorses the nomination of John C. Cowin, Captain G. M.
