Grover Olevoland will certainly act very dis- creotly if he recognizes the irflaence of the prets by the appoiniment of Dr. Miller to the position cf postmaster-gan- eral, Ir appears now trom the transcript which we have taken fiom the racords that a large number of lots and parcels of laads in this clty, for which the tille stlll held in the name of private psr- ties, have been exempted from taxstion under the pretense that they ero in- cluded In the railroad right of way. By what authority do the clty council or coanty commissioners prevent such ex- emptions? s it vot olear 1ha' avybody's property within a few blocks of the rail- road might be plazed on the exemptlon list? Il the rallroad companies own the property, why do they not prosure the titleto 1t and have it so recorded? If they cannot procure the fitle what right bavethepersonswhohold the titlet) escape taxation? We propese to pre: tion and follow it up until sion Is reached, Here is an area of properly coverlng a bundrad acres, moetly in the very beart of the vity, on which no taxes are pald, Ity va'ue fs growiog 'l the time, and the extent of exempted property ivcresslg frcm yoar to year.

Nebracka may well feel proud cf the reoond made in the United States cenate by Genoral Charles H, Van Wyck, For the frat time In her history Nebraska is represented in the pational legislature by aman whote fame is not elrcumseribed by the boundaries of this state. No man on the floor of the United Sta'es sena'c is more generally reecguized as the cham pon of the people ia their struggle with monopoly and organized espifal Although he has often grappled single hinded and alone with the defenders and advocates of chartered highway robbery, he has coms out of every combat with glory to himself and honor t) hisstato His lateet and mest brilliant achievement ts the viclory won in the fight over the Texas & Pacific land grant forfeitora bill, which restores 15,000,000 acres of land fo the public domain, The unsubsidized press of the country, from Malne to Oalifornia, accords to Senater Van Wyck the highost praiss for the abllity, v!gor, perssverance and taét displayed in carrging this meay. ura through the senate in splte of the great pressure brovght by the lsnd- robters und the natural findency of a large mejority of that body to shirk their sworn daty. Although the house, which is more sersitive to public sentl ment, and less under corporation inflaence, had passed this land grant forfelture bill mora than a yeir ago, the eenate had staved cif action witha deliberate intent to pigeon-hole and smoiher this important measure. It was wainly through Senator Van Wyck's efforte, a3 8 member of the commi tee on public lande, that this bill was fically re- ported back tothe eenate, and it was upon hls that it was given a plae on the special cal- ender. But even then the senatorial rai'road attorneys mansged by trickery to have it displaced aud sent back to the general cilindsr where it would have b:en baried under a moun tain of other bills, With the boldness which charscterizes his conduct in the diecharge of public du'y Senafor Van Wyck cslled upon Mr. Edmunde, the preeiding officer, in open sesslon to explan why this bill had been taken from the special calendar, and rather than undergo the caustic scoring in store for him at the hands of the Nebraska sanator, Mr. Edmunds had the bill replaced oa the speclal calendar. When the bill was reached the braes- collared eenatcrs deliberately choked 1t off’ by voting to set it aside and take up the labor bill. Undiswayed by this back-set,Mr. Van Wyck resumed the offeneive snd fically had the bill forced upon the con-, aideratlon cf tha senate in the face of the saeaking support of Senator Plumb, wno ay cheirman of the committee on public lands, had boen instructed to report and advocate ifs passage. By his azgressive and telling thruets Senator Van Wyck beld at by his colssguss cn both sides of the senate chamber who appeared snxisus to Joad down and kill the bill with amendments, and after a most bril- liant ruoning debate forced ils passage through the senate. Thus the American house of lords has for once bean com- pelled by the dauntless and agressive fight waged by one of its memters, backed by public santimentand sustained by the press, to resto'c to the publi: doma'n an immsese land grant acquired by feaud and hald contrary to all jastice. wotion Tuk expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars In Omaba last year for public improvements not only materially improved the city and gaveit a reputat on for enterprise, but it gave employment to mang hundreds of men who otherwise would have been idle. While other cltles weradull and filled with unemployed mep, Omaha presented tlie appearance in every quarter of havioga *‘boom ” The work ngmen wera all employed, money circulated frecly, and business generally was good, DMonsy judiclously expended in public improvemen's is, therefore, 8 good iavestment in more waya than one, and we hope that the same pollcy willbe pursued this ycar. Lot the pavemen's on the streets already paved be extended, especlally those run- ning esst and west. The hill sides cer- talnly ovght to be paved, mo that the wash ¢f mud will be prevented, and the st-ests below kept clean. The sewerage system also shou'd be extended wherever there is sny reasonable demand for it. There sra other improvemen's that ought fobamacde. Wedo nct advocate any reckless or extravagant expenditure of wmoney, but a ressorable amount, suffi- ciant at least to make our improvements keep pace with the growili of the city. In the city of Paris forty millions of dol'ars are to be expended in nceded public improvements in order to glve em- p'oyment to the poor. The French sye- tewatically follow this pollcy, and in times of deprestion the government pushes forward its work :nd thus eates the pressore of need, Nap 1-on bimsslf £0rs Guwa The oity Of Paris . rebuilt i ia o der to glve employment to the needy pocr.

We think the state ls exercising 1 borality enough in furnishing a free col- leglate education, but when it comes to educat'ng a person for the legal, medical cr any cther partionlar profeseion it is using the moncy of the tax-payers a lit: tle tyo freely. We oannot understand why the state should turnish a free logal or medical educaticn to anyone. A pro- fessicnal education is the capital of the person recelving it, and the tax-payers should not be called upon to contribute the capltal for avyone to begin husiness on, Tho stite cannot.afford a law school, & modical college, or a fice art dep ment, wbhatever that may mean, at the expense of the psople.

Parliament has reassembled and a vots of cersu-e upon the administration for its conduct in the Egyptian campaign is likely t> precipitate a crisie. At the presert juncture, with public excitamert running high, the liberal Gladstone min- istry may be compelled to give way to a tory cabinet with Lord Salisbury at its head. It is always uneafe to swap horses while crossing a stream, aad with all its blun- ders and shor: comings the Gladstone ministry may be much safer for the suc ceas « f the Egyptisn campaign thana new ministry. Some of the Tory leaders view the situation in the sams light, Several lengthy and snxlous conferences have been keld by the Tory leadera previous to the reasscmbling of psrliament with a viewof set:ling upon some policy. There s no doubt that the oppcsitlon could drive the present governmant from power by a dctormined attack upon such vul- nerable points as the loss of colonial pres t'ge, the prospest of Ruesian cnorosch- ment toward Indis, and, above all, the fall of Kbartoum and the sacrifice of Gen, Gordon, Lord Salisbury and the other pary maaagers hesitate about preciitating a crisis just now. There + a3 been to some exteut a change in pub- lic feeling slnce the news of Gordou's fate was tiret received. Then it s3emed us though Mr. Gladstone and his gov: ra- ment could not withstand the shock of popular indign which found ex- pression even in staid and loysl Liberal journals. Had parliament then been In sesslon thera is no doubt tha' a vote of ccasura would have promptly passed, snd Gladstone would have nad to go. Since tnen the peple have become more inter- ested in the question of avenging Gor- drn's death and strengthening the hands of the brave fellows who are left in 1h Soudan.

In October last a brutal massacre in Manda- Isy, the capita) of Burmah, ssid t) have been instigated by King Thebaw, caused a great outery of British annexation. The inbati ants of British Bormah are very desirons of seelng the country united. This ragort of French annexation comes from British Burmah and may be merely an attempt to stimulate Ei glish opim‘oo, In the sight of distnterert d humanuy, the cne thing to be desired for Burmah 18 an end to King Thebaw's bratel rule, France makcs a generous usa of this emergency by raising her demands with reference to the settlement of Kgyptian finance. She wants not only the special Iutornationsl commisston t> verify the ttatements Eng'and Las made with refer ence t) the ficances of the country, but a permanent commisslon to recare the neutialization of the Suez cara'. As he- fore the fall of Khsrtcum elio had agreed to accept the Knglish statements as the basls of a rea” jastment, there is no room for a misconsiraction of her conduct.
