This ought to convince Dr. Burchard that the democratic party s not quite so much of a rum institution as his recent disastrous allilerative allusion would lead us to be- lieve. Tae Chleago Heral d is authority for the statement that the false report of Kossuth's death originated in this way: A man saw him begin to read Tennyson’s last poem and straightway concluded the old patriot would not survive the last assault upon Freedom. I now turns out that Church Howe had $25,000 0 spend in Tennessee. Theresult in that state shows that this money was not putwhere it would do the most good. The idea of spending any money in the southern states was a piece_ of, reckless extravagance, That 825,000 might have been expended to much more advantage in some of the doubtful states of the north, and perhaps might have changed the result. y pposed that the preservation of ballots after they have been counted would prevent fraud from belng carrled out, but such has not proved to be the case in Chicago. In New York the ballots are destroyed im- mediately after being counted, and in this way such frauds as that perpetrated in the Brand-Leman case in Chicago are prevented. It is likely that Illinois will now adopt a slmilar law. Mz, Burrows, of the Nebraska farm- ors atate alliance, endeavors to reach the farmers by publishing his call in the rall- road organs. The farmers that he will reach through the medium of those or- gans wouldn’t make a corporal's guard. We observe that Mr. Burrows claims the alliance to be a strictly non-partisan or- ganization, but as a matter of fact It is an organization that expects to carry its measures through party tactics. It was organi ed by+Mr. Burrows into a third party when it was questionable whether it would succeed, and 1t will not do now for him to pretend that it is not partisan, 80 far as state matters are concerned. ‘Tur BEe has been giving considerable space of late in expredsing opinions as to who ought not to be elected speaker of the Nebraska leglslature, By way o variety, and for guidance of members of the leglslatore, the journal over the way might more profitably occupy space by suggesting a proper man for the import- ant position, It is evident that the Ber learned long since that it is much easier to tear down a structure than to erect a of business and business cares which causes forgetfulness and consequent neg- lect of giving. Let us then for one day in the year lay aside our business cares and take time to remember our friends ac- cording to the customs of the day. Let us for once be soclable, and make home happy, especially the little ones, who have for weeks been dreaming of their patron salnt, old Santa Claus, whose an- nual trip over the house tops and down the chimneys to fill the stockings and load the Christmas trees with precious gifts brings joy to thousands upon thou. sands of expectant hearts, It Is not so much the value of a gift that we look at, but it is the act of giving that is appreciated, and hence it is that notwithstanding the hard times the num. ber of gifts willnot bo diminished per- haps, althodgh the value will be con- siderably less than at any time durlng several yoars past. The Christmas shop- ping this season has brought out sas many purchasers as usual and probably as many articles have been purchased as there were last yoar, but not one-fourth as much money has been spent. It has been judiclously expended, however, in order to make it go as far as possible. The general depression of the times should be borne in mind by the rich, who at this season should remember the poor. Thero will be many a household in Omaha this Chsistmas where there will be but little cheer, and we hope that every one who 18 able will contribute to the happi- ness of some poor family, especially to the little ones, OUT OF EMPLOYMENT. The latest issue of Bradstreet's makes a statement that the whole number of manufacturing operatives out of work by reason of the shutting down of estab- menta, strikes, etc., 18 316,000, or 13 per cent, of the whole numbar thusemployed in 1880, which was 2,456,749, Itis be- Heved that the number may be swelled to 350,000 by taking account of the smaller industries which may have been over- looked. But on the other hand a certaln portion, probably 10 per cent., are out of employment only temporarlly, for the purpose of making repairs of machinery, taking account of stock, ete. The fargest per cent of unemployed is found in the state of Minnesots, 40 per cent., and the smallest in Maryland, 7 per cent., but the average of all the New England states 1s only 7 per cent. In New York the per centage is 18, in Pennsylvaula 16, in Now Jersey only 8. Of the cities, Detroit is by far the most unfortunate, 62 per cent of her customary force being idle. In Baltimore only 3} per cent. are out of work, in Boston 7} per cent., in New York 24 per cent., in Philadel- phia 21 per cent. Of the leadlng Indus- tries the iron trade shows a loss in the number of operatives at work of 20 per cent., the clothing trade 27 per cent., cotton goods 12} per cent., woollen goods 16 per cent. boots and shoes 14 per cent,, tobacco manufacturing 17 per cent., silk 16 per cent., glass 19 per cent. The southern show the smallest per centage of unemployed labor and the least reduc- tion in wages. The New York]Evening Post says that the exhibit as a whole is more favorable than might have been an ticipated. It must be borne In mind that the reports of industrial depression in the daily press make no account of the number of persons remaining employed, but only of those thrown out of work. In this way the trouble, although serious enough, becomes much exaggerated In the popular imagination. GENERAL SToRGIS Will probably retire from the command of the Soldiers’ Home at Washington next spring. likely that General Augur, the former commander of the department of the Platte, will be his successor. General Augur will reach the age of sixty-four years in July next, and will ask to be rotired a llttle before that time. The law requires that the place be filled by a retired army officer, and In the event of Greneral Augur’s appointment one of the present Brigadier generals would have to bo assigned to the command of the de- department of the Missouri, and the appointment of a colonel of the line would devolve upon President Oleveland among hlis first officlal acts, Grorge TickNor Curtis, in his ex- new ono, Henco it In that rogardless of |y ysiiye review of the tenure of office reeults, it usually chooses 'th: [or;n:: f acti d labors with zesl SO G SO A i 1t is|the laws now stand a suspensioa by the acoomplish ita purpose if possible. question, gives it as his opinion that as not often, however, that the struotures | president, no matter for what reason, or at which it vigorously hammers, totter| heiner 'the incumbent’s torm is aboat and fall in ralos to the ground, — Omaha Republican, —Tax Bek has no disposition to dictate to anykody, but simply to point out and objectionable parties. 1 tent and rep- Wo oap saime “v";n:l‘::;:.o:n-p:ku gf official without glving hls reason, and rerred | then, If the senate shall refase to con protest againat utable men for the the house, but we have no prel to explre or has only just begun, is con- olusive as to the occapant of the office.

Her sisters must now make the best out of what they ow deem a bad bargain. Ever since the creation of the burean of labor statistios President Arthur has been in a peck of trouble asto whom he should appoint to have charge of it. Under the influence of the move made by the house committee on labor in opposl- tion to the ramored nomination of John Frehrenbach, of Clncinnatl, several re- monstrances have been forwarded to Washington sgalnst the confirmation of the same. The remonstrances would seem to be de- cidedly premature In view of the fact that no nomination has been sent to the senate thus far the present session. AN order has boen issued by the United States treasury department allowing im- porters of rags to choose among four modes of disinfection. The order is said to glve satisfaction to the health au- thoritios as well as to manufacturers and dealors, This will loosen up the rag market, and ho further advance in the price of paper need be feared. Tur candidacy of President Arthur for the New_ York senator#hlp recalls to mind the fact that Andrew Johnson was a candldate for senator in Tennessee the next year after rettring from the presi- dency, and was beaten by only two votes. 1t does not follow, however, that Presl- deut Arthar will be defeated. Rerusiic who happen to have influential democratic relatives may be sald to be in big luck. Hazen, chief of the weather-makling service, is related by marriage to Johnny McLean, editor of the Clocinnati Znquirer. Old Proba- bilities is not likely to be disturbed much, Tue report that Grover Cleveland had declded to send Henry Ward Beecher to the court of St. James was a little previoue, as we suspected. Mr. Beecher will stick to Plymouth, but his son will roceive his reward by the appolntment of collector of customs in Washington, A BostoN lectarer recently attempted to convines an audience of twenty-three persons that Queen Victeria Is a descen- dant from King David. His next at- tempt of this kind will probably be to prove Arthur's descent from the English king of that name, Poorly Paid Ratlway servants, Indianapolis Journal. A rallcoad offictal who has been very succesaful in the operation of the road with which he is conneced, in answer to the question, if there is any truth in the report that ‘‘spotters” are working his road, answered: ‘‘No sir; they are a class of men who, the further we keep from, the better shall I be pleased. The fact 15, I have several times ex- pressed myself on the treatment of con- ductors to tne president of our road, and urged upon him an Increase in the sala- ries of conductors. My opinion is that a conductor should be paid $2,000 a year; then the position would command the best of men, and every five years a conductor is in service his salary should be increased $100 a year. Why,” said he, ‘‘we psy men in our passenger partment who are nothing but bill-post. ers as much as a conductor gets, Y more; for in addition to his salary the bill-poster has his expenses paid. The passenger conductor Is away from home two-thirds of his time, and while he may be favored some in hotel rates, his ex- penses are heavy. To appear as well dressed as most of the roads expect a man to be will use up $150 a year of his salary. Then there are incidental ex- penses which a conductor must meet to carry out the expectations of his supervisor officers,” He then cited cases which came under his special notice com- ing went of the Pennsylvania lines: “A short time since I noticed, as the train was about to leave Jersoy City, an aged lady came Into the car who was to go to @vansville, Ind. Friends came with her to the depot, who called the attention of the conductor to her, and asked that he turn the old lady over to hie succeeding conductor on the next divlsion safely, with the request that he kindly care for her, and s0 on it went from one ¢onduc- trr to another until Indianapolis was reached. Here the C., St. L. & P., con- saw her safely seated in the llo coach. On the same train d who required fully as wmuch at- tontion as the old lady. o be sure, the conductor had the assistance of the Pall- man car porter in the charitable work, yet the porter was paid in vach case for his attention while the conductor receiv- ed nothing, and, in fact, one or two of the conductors purchased some nick- nacks for the little boy, There were a dozen little kindnesses shown to the old from Iabor organizations | 1 POLITICAL PANDRAMA, i P Hoving Kalaidescope of Offictal | Life in Washingtor, .Picturesque Side Scones in ard Oat of Congress.

The panoramic view moves along and we behold congrees, as it is and think of it as it was, eight or ten years sgo, Comparisons are odious. It Is the artists duty to portray people and things as they are and have been; in other words you may look on this picture then on that and choose your kind. THE U, § SENATE is slambering over the unfinished busi- ness of last session, Now then a Span- ish cat mews and up jumps kind hearted old Senator Van Wyck and asks leave to “‘open the doors of the Senate” to let that Spanish cat out of the bag. So as to speak. The senate is most successful in bagging game; but fearing the hounds out nide, that are ever on the ecent for new pray, Senator Wlilson of Iowa, is detailed to **slam that door to” leaving the poor Spanish cat_intreatingly mew- ing at Senator Van Wyck’s desk. - Thisis but ene of the plcturesque scenes made by a master stroke —of di- plomacy! THE PRESIDING GENIUS of that August body of senators feels the great responsibility of his position and allows no bogus measure to pass by un- noted or any guilty man to escape. He 1a looking weil phyeically, remarkably well, and most serene mentally and phy- sically. There are no lines of disappoint- ment on his brow—and good deal of a brow he has too—over the late November election. He seems younger than ten years ago, dresses more eprucely, and in- deed has au eye for the ladies’ gallery oc- casionally. Not an old man in years by any means, Somehow we have been in the habit of thinking of him, and hear- ing bim spoken of as anold man, and ©Old Edmunds,” when really he isin the prime of life, ripe in experience as a statesman, and rich in knowledge of men and things, and the world generally, only about fifty-six years old. He never has been consldered a society man, and neither haw he posed as the *‘Apollo of Belvidere,” He ls not handsome from the gallery, distance doesn’t lend en- chantment in his case, closer you get to him the better he looks and appears. His eyes are blue and have a deep, pen- etratingand kindly look in them; his face, oval in shape with a full beard and clear complexion, has a most pleasing ex- pression at times. When he gets one eyebrow lifted and the other lowered, wrinkles his massive forehead Into any- thing but a heavenly radiance, pricks his ears like an ape, drops his lower jaw, thrusts his head forward, and looks uver his specs, he certainly does appear un- godly. The top of his head being smooth and shiney as a billiard ball, adds to the length and breadth of his brow, and gives him a tremendous long head. The little grey fringe on the outer edge adds to the effect of being a most uncommon head. Those who know him best say he most delightful after-dioner companion, While he does not oppose distillery leg- islation, and sometimes takes a glass of wine for his stomach’s sake, he does not own shares in the New England rum mills or affiliate with ‘“moonshiners.” That he has been successful financially, as well as politically, is evident from the fact that he entered public life a poor but honest young man, and now lives handsomely on Highland, near Supreme Justice Miller's residence, and has but just purchased a valuable spot on Massachusetts avenue at the “‘west end,” hard by Mr. ne's big house, and will soon build a magnificient ma .

Antique furnitore greets you in every room, gathered by Mrs. Edmunds, who like her husband, is old fashioned in tastes and habits. There was some local gram- blin, there always is—over Mr. Ed- munds not paying taxes on the full market value of his property; &c., but 8s he is a law-making senator, and a law ablding citisen, he would not deceive the assessor, or skin around the corner to avoid the tax gatherer. Of course not; that wouldn’t be consistent with states- manship! And of all classes of public men, the United States senators are the mostconsistent, eb! THE VICE PRESIDENT'S ROOM, in which Mr. Edmunds enjoys to as much time as the demands spend of the lady and that which struck me with the necessity there was to nave true gen- tlemen and * kindly inclined men in the position of passenger conductor.” He then said: **I have had a great respect for Wm. R. McKeen, president of the Vandalis, since I heard a conversation betwoen Mr. McKeen and Col. Thomas Scott a few years ago, when President Scott was mlzlng a trip over the Vanda- lia. Mr, Scott proposed that the pay of condnctors along the whole line I’rom New York and St. Louls be reduced to $70 per month, Mr. McKeen, his eye brightening as he looked Col. Scott square in the face, said: ‘It would, in my opiunion, be better to increase thelr pay to 8150 per month.’ Here the con- versatlon dropped. While the pay of conductors on the Pennsylvania lines, east of Indianspolls, was not advanced, a8 suggested, Mr, McKeen's timely re- marks doubtless prevented a reduction.” The rallroad official from whom we have quoted so freely, said, he took no stock in the common slang phrases regarding passenger oconductors.

And to do the ladies, who are the wives of our most prominent men, such as Mra., Sen- ator Bayard, Mrs. Charles Nordhoft, Mrs. Senator McPherson, Mrs. Con- gressman Springer, of Illinois, Miss Olive Risley-Seward, Mrs. Adwiral Dahlgren, author of the text book of so- clety for new members, and others full justice, will say that-everything has been conducted with strict elegance belonging to their high positions in life. No vul- gor importuning by pretty halt clad girls was allowed, but everything was as se- ductively arrauged as possiblo, and it would take a most coursgeous felluw to withstand the temptation of buying everything at the different booths attended by handsome society-belles in bewitching costumes of all nations, far- ring the native costumes of South Amer- ica., ‘“‘Russion tea,” that famous bever- age, almost as famous as ‘‘cold tea” in the senate, was served in Russian krook.

LoxNvox, December 24, ~The Paris corres- poudent of the Times writes as follows of the state of Russia, Count Tolster, Russian minis ter of the interior, chiefly engaged in the dis. covery and prosecution of the nibilists, saye: No soonor is one society of nihilists suppressed than another rprings up, Count Tolster in undated threats of death rarely attends the meetings of the council. Whenever be stirs out it costs 5 0 roubles for extra pohece for protection. Whilo nihilism is more danger- ous than ever, the prosecution of the Jews is as fierce as a few years ago.
