Tue burning of the insane werd of the Philadelphta alms-house, causing the loss of clghveen lives end the destru:tion of property valued at $150,000, comes as another warning to the Nebraeka legiala- ture to take immediate steps for the hat- tor pr.tocticn of our oan insane asylom.

It seems to us thet Van Wyck is the kind of an ldiot that earns his salary and whom the peo- plo want in the senate. We ay glve us #some more of such idiots, ——— Tie practice of carrylog eoncealed sweapons in Georgia has been broken up by a law passed by the last legislature chazg Ing $100 to dealers in platols and re- volvers and pistol and revolver cartridges. Rather than pay this additional charge, nine-ten ths of the traders have dropped this feata ve of thelr business, The effect of the law has been to restrict msles of the obnoxlo us articles to populcus places. The license Amouats to prohibition, and has eertainly w orked a healthy roform fn ® state where ve volvers were more com. son than pocket-kpives, and where the massessed value of firearms was M equal to that of agrlaulturdl implements. THE TEXAS PACIFIC LANDGRANT. The claims of the Soathern Paclfic, through the notorlons C. P, Huntiogton and his assoclates, to the uncarned land grant of the Texas Paclfic, have not the slightest legitiratefounda'ion, The South- ern Pacific was built and pushed ahead to cat off the Texas Pacific, avd this move ment was sucsessful, The Southern Pa cific echemers, having thus prevented the Texas Pacific from go'ng shead, secured what 1t called an assignment of its land grant, which way the prinsipal object of the remarkable ¢nterprisa on the part of Huatington and hisassociafes. It is rather surprising, tharafera, to see the mana‘c deal no tanderly and tardily with the Texas Pacific land grant forfeit are bill, but this is eesly un- derstood among those who know {lint the senato fs lirgely controlled by ealwey lobbyists,among whem are Hunt. ington ard his representatives, The Texas Pacifio never oarned the land grant and the Soutbern Pacific las no right to it, 83 the former could nct very well asign a grant which 1t lad not eained. There {s ono man in the United States scnate, however, who does not ssem to ba very tender apoa the subject, and his name is Vaa Wyck, He introduced a resolu'ion asking the president of the senate fo exp'an how it was that the Texas Pasific forfeitury bill, which had been placed on tho speclal calendsr, had been snowed under among thke bil's on the general file, which will never be reacked during the present session. Kr. Edmunds found himself in rather a disagreeablc dilemms, and could no’ ex- plain tae matter saticfictorily, without compromising himself or somebody else, ard the result was that the senate, on the motlon f Senator Van Wyck, ordered that the bll be restored toits former place cn the special calendar. It now looks as If the effort of Serator Van Wijck would result in the passage of the forfeiture bill by the senate, and unless the president vetoes it, it wi'l tecome a {aw. In that event 15,000,000 acres of land will ba restored to the public domain in New Mexico, Arizonaand California. Tue gradual reductlon of postage is a a step in the right direction, and is some- thing that is appreciated by the people. Fifteen years azo it cost ten conts to send a letter t> California, and it is within the recollcction of some people when it cost twenty-five cents, We certainly have made a great advance since then. It custs no more now to send a letter from Omahs to San Franclsco than it does from Omahajto Council Bluffs, The old letter ra‘e of three cents was racently re- duced t) two cents, and a further reduc- t'on in postegs is contemplated In a bill now before congrees. The principal feat- tures of the proposed law are: A reduc- tlon in the rate of posfags oa first class majl matter from the prescat rate of two cents per balf ounce to two cents por ounce, end on sceond class mail matter from two cents to one cint per pound; a provisi)n 1equiring the postmastsr-gen- eral to provide a spezlal stamp of the faca value of ten cents, which, when at- tiched to a letter in addition to the reg- ular rats of portaze thereon, the delivery of whichis to baa’a f ee delivery office or at any city, town or village contalning a popalation of 4,000 or over, shall en tle such letter {o immediate delivery within the carrier limit of any free deliv- ery office which may, bo desigaated by the po:tmasier-gineral as a special deliv- cry office,at any tlme from 7 a, m, to mid- nlght. Mr, Barrierr, who was formerly the pertaer of Gen, O'Brien, has repeatedly requested us to stats that the parties intarested ia the proposed sa't-making scheme at Lincoln have nothing what- ever to do with Gen, O'Brien; and it now sppears that Gen. O'Brien, tn even moro emphetic terme, repudiates Mr. tlett, whom he kaows very well, ker with his assoclater, and wants it distinctly understyed that he has nothirg t> do wlth the graedy crowd that is now engegad in the siline scheme, Gen. O'Brien’s po:ition ¢n this briny sabject is tersely cxpreesad in the fol- lowing editorial from the Times-Dis- vateh : In a recent paragraph in this paper we fnsinuated that Gen. O'Brien, of thie cily, was Interested in the schemo that lies wrapped in the attempt to forca the line lands of the state into the msr- ket., We were mistaken. Gen, O'Brien iy in no manner connect:d with the lobbyists that src now marshalled under the leadership of Meesrs. Bartlett snd Mason. We must confess thet we were surprised when we first heard of the General's connection with this new ssheme 85 it would bein direct opposition to his former actions in the mutter of trying to foll men in thelr ef- forta to defraud the people out of these sallne lands, Genersl O'Brien has labored ably and well to profeot the peo- ple in this matter before, and we are glad that hishands are not stsined with the plot now progressing at Lincoln, This is certalnly severely on Mr, Bart- lett, but we presume that the leglalature will eatisty iteelt as to which of the two gentlemen is entitled to the floor, and which one ought to be floored, It looks as if General O'Brien’s opinlon of Mr, Bartlett is no better than Mr, Bartlett's opinion of General O'Brien, — Duvrurs, the ‘“Zenith city of the un. salted seas,” is making great strides as a wheat market. Doring the last year Duluth has gone ahead of Milwaukee, and now ranks next to Chicago and Te. ledo. Her wheat receipts for the year 1884 amounted to 14,000,000 bushels, and her shipments footed up 11,447,600 bushels, a gain of nearly 5,000,000 bush- els in receipts and shipments in a single year. Her soven clevators have a capac- ity of 6,350,000 bushels, while the eleva- tors of Milwaukee have a capacity of only Now let Alsbama apc! other southern | 5,350,000 bushels. Duluth proposes to states follow the exawple of Goorgia, build two wmore ‘clevators and a lawga warehouse next spring. The grain rates to Buffalo, & distance of 1030 m les, have averaged 3} a bushel during the year which is much less than the railroad rates from 8t 1 of having water transportation as a compe* titor to the railtoads even if it Is only for a portion of the year. The grain ship- pera natarally rush their grain to Dulath mmediately after haevett, and hence the But it ie hes be come an imperiant shipping point, Her ehipments slso include 1,000,000 barrels of flour, 22,000,000 pounds f slver ore and matte, over 4 (00,000 pounds of eil- ver bullion,and 2 863 56832ounces of wool, Among the receipts were 420,540 tons of cosl, Sho registered 102 vessels, carry. ing very nearly 00,000 tons of freight It is expected a big bueivoss in cattle This shows theadvantage immense receipts at that port. not for grain alone that Dulath shipping by the watoer routo will aleo be built up at Duluth, The prospects for Daluth becoming a very largo city eeem to ke very encouraging. —— Now that the question of coal weighe ing has been agitated it ecoms to us that the only true remedy against elort weights is for the olty council to pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale and de livery of coal, in less than carload lote, without the certificate from the ci'y welgh-master, Of coaree, ne o1e person would be able to welgh all the coal from all the yarde. The prcper thing, thore- fore, to dolsto createa weigh-master with authority t> appoint as many dep ties a8 o may nced, and have ciles pla-cd at convenient points in the nelgh- borhocd of the various chal yards. The foes derived from welghing will amply pay the chlef weigh-master and his dep- utica during the busy ecacon. We un- deratand that there is already an ordin- ance requirlng coal to be weighed on the city scaler, but it is very inconvenlent and Impractical for the coal dealers to have every load of coal sent to one locality for weighing. In fact it would be Impossible for sny one set of s:ales to accommodate the coal business of this city during the winter To have coal weighed, however. a8 we have suggested, will be more satic- factory than the presant loose eystem, both to the consumer and dealer. Tke dealer would be at 1o expense while at the seme time tho consumer could not charge him with short weights or at- tempting to chest his patrons. The con- sumers could well afford to pay tan ciuts a load additional if it rill guaraatee fall weight. geason, Tur board of trade appears to be in dead eernest, and there is no doubt that some decislve and final action will be taken te-morrow in regard to the pur- chase of a site for the proposed chamber of commerce buildirg, Up to the pree- ent time the board of trade has simply been an advisory board of citlzane, selcct- ed promitcuously from all occupations and from no occupations. It now be- gins to lcok as {f ths board would be wkat its name implies—an aszociaticn of merchants, graln and caftlemen, manu facturers, bankers and leading business men, who are des’rous to make Omaha a market and place it on an equal footing with Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Pau’, Peoria, Toledo, and other places that have & quotable market.

Since the bombardment of Alexandria by the British, no event has orcated a more profound sensation In the Old World than the fall of Kbartoum and the ma-sacre of Its gariisen, The Mahdi's victory Is regarded not only in Lcndon but in the capitals of Europe as a terrible blow tothe prestige of England snd likely to shake the foundation of British rule in Indla., Althovgh the British disaster has no direct effect upon France, Ger- mapy or Italy, the shock has been every- where felt as the probable forernnuer of a protracted war which may ullimately involve the whole of Europe, The ex- pedition for the relief of General Gordon has now become & war of exterminatton between the cross and the crescent, It will be Christlan agsinst Moslen, God |Pllnlt Allab, The formidatle prepara- tlons now making by England to retri-ve the dismster at Khartoum indica‘c that the British government is convinced that 1t has & desperate fos to deal with El Mahdl is not merely a rebel against the constitated authority: Hels & new Measlab, bent on conquest and proselyt- fng. Like all the otbercaliphs of the Mohammedan church, he hss igspired his followers with fanatics] zeal, and the more succetses he galns fa the tield ) easier will it bs for him to recrult his foroes, ~ While he had only Fgyptians, Turks and other Mcslems to coptend with he necessarily failod to glve his up- rlsirg the full charscter of a holy war, but now that he is to be confrontad with the English alone be will have no diffi- culty In securing the fullest co-operation eu of tribes that previously doubted his claims, 1f the Indlan Mohammedsns get it in‘o their beads that England has been worst- edin & contest with Afeicsn Moham- medans, they will be very likely to von tare upon sn- ther insurrection, and as they number 50,000,000 in Indis, stoh an upticing might o seasion a deal ot trouble to the Britsh government just now. Should the ¢yverument be tardy in bring: ing up riatoresme nt for Ganeral Wolse ley, #nd alould Mohsmmad Achmet, the Mikdi, juake a sadden movement to the north and get behlnd Wolseley (a0t an improbable event), he might icflct eushs a disstrous blow upon the army of invasion that he would bave the immediate support of millicns of Mosloms ia Tripoli, Tunisis and Alglers, who have been waitlng for him to verify his c'sims ay a propte’, In the cour tries nemed the goct of Sen- oues any, under the gnidance of an Al- gering priest named Sidl Mohamwed- Ben-All-es Scnoussi, awve & deadly hatred towsrd forelgners and toward the Ottoman Turke, whose claim to the caliphato they vigorouely dempise. It theso perple give their aid to the Soudan Muhci, he will have all the physical sapport he needs. They huve for years cherished the hope of esiab lishing a new Arabian empire with an 1mpos ng caliphete, snd they could casily be {nduced to join Mohammed Achmet. The news of the fall of Khartoum hs been already spread far and wide through the desert, and the effect upon the desort tribes wlill render the posit'on of the British forces extromely pracations. In a few weeks the hot weather will be an ad- diticnal adversary of Wolseley's troope, end, of course, thegarrisens in Indta will have to be drawn upcn for Indim troops who can stand t1he climsata, The Italisn movement oa the Re ceast will glve England some additlonal numerizal strength to her army, but it s quostionable if Italian soldiors can endure the Soudan climate & few weeks hence any better than English troope. Italy’s design is to acquire African teeri- tory from Maseoway to Sunkim—about 200 miles, with indefinite extention into the interior. This England will encour- age, and eecare Ita'y for an ally; while Italy will thue, in a mesaure, consider herself compensated for her disappoint. ment at the szare of Tunisla by ths French. Tho Italians clstmed Tani ia, on the ground that they inherit that country as a province of the old Roman emplre—an ex'raordinery claim, to eay the least. If they sre satisfied with thei 1 Red sea acquisition, it will be so much the better for Epgland in the present emergency. The fall of Khartoum hes to radically reversed the Egyptian wilitary situation for England as to place Gen., Wolseley in the positlon lately ozcupled by Gen. Gordon, and at & point where his' means of defcnse are nov s> immediately avalle- ble as were 1hose of that gallant soldier of fartune in Khartoum. Gen. Gerdon was besleged; Gen. Wolseley is berieged. The lattsr wissed his opportunity when ke neglected to ccncentrate ll his force upon the objective goint on wh ch Gen, Stewart and his diminutive force were thrown. Had this bcen done ia all probebility Khartoum would have been saved. Now, Gien. Wolseley must at onca pro- cead to reize some point on the Nile be- tween Berber and Khartoum, ssy Me temneh, and, having done 8o, proseed to thoroughly fortily i". By this means the mahai js leading his victorious hosts northward by the soutaera route so called, throvgh the Bshmidi desert, on the left baok of the Nile. t.ntion isto cut cff Wolsaloy's reinforcements and suppltes coming up the Nile to Kortl, In the meantims Osman Digna can now operate from the east, and thus co-operatlag with the mahdi, who is on the left bank of the Nils, threaten Welseley's communications oa the right bavk cf that river. In this way the in- tention s to encloss the whole British force as in a net, the ends of which are beld by the mahdi and his lieutenan*, Osman Digns, both good fghters, The Eoglith wer office, it is evident, expects and anticipates thatthese will be, snd doubtless already are, the movements that include the spring and summer cam- Fa'go of the Mandi. It s by reason cf this antlcip:tion that it now serlously y ro- poses, uader the renewed advice of Gen- Stephcnion, who tas heretofcra been overruled therein by General Wolseley, to open the routa from Suakim on ths Red Ser fo Berber. Stepheneon said originelly 1hit this was the route by which Gotdon could be relieved. He now aays says that itis tho route by which Wolseley must bo relleved, if relieved at all. However, Wolseley’s long llne ap the Nile may have answered while Gor- don keld 60,000 of the Mahdi's forces ab Khartoum, {v is now resdered utterly impracticible with thesa forces on the right and Oesnan Digna's force on the lefc flank of that river, What the intenss feolings ayainst the Motammedans, brought sbout by the waesacre of Geoeral Gordon and the Chrittian garrison and populace of Khar- toum, mway lead to is very difficut to fore- shadow. 'T'he point in view among con- t nontal politicians is, or toon will be, that England has given them o never ending ¢xcuse for & general assault on all Mohammedans, No: France and Italy slone wil profit by thfs Austria and Rursia will geo tha: there ts plausible ex: cuse for hustling Turkey. Kven Arme- nia and Pectis noy suddeniy be found to wenace Russian supremecy In the Cas- pian reglon, and Arabia and Palestine will present new attractiveness to France. There is & semi-oftiofal anncuncement that the Italians have taken possession of an important sesport town on the Red sen, and that they prop:ss to retain iv providing the English will conclude an alliance, eflensive and defeneive, The pretent occupatlon of the place is limited v anchoring & couple ot iron-clads in front of the town and the hoisting of the Itslian flag by some marines. Enlish will agree to an a'liance, then an army will be forwarded to occupy the town and to assist the Knglish in cen. querlng and holdiog the Soudsn Some of the Italisn newspspers are very enthusfastic over the movement they iasist 1hat It Is the duty of Iialy to march to the ald of Evg'and without any bargaln In the nature of an alllance. The Diritto, a leading newepsper, ssserts that Italy, in view of the past favors which Eopland has extended to i*, should st once march to ths rescue f Wolseley by eetablishing a bess of operat'ons on the Red sea, from which it can asist in opening the route from Suskim to Berber and says, In conclusion: *‘Public opinfon will applaud Italy's prompt, epergetic, and resoluts support of En- gland — alwsys Italy's felend.” Meanwhile, the particlpation of Italy, if carried into effeot, threaters to d'm' another power into the maelstrom. Torkey claims Eeypt ss a Turkish province; ft allows Eogland to interfere for the collcctlon of a debt, but walves no claim to its tuzersioty.
