SurerINTENDENT LANE, acting upon the suggestion of the BEe, has supplled the census takers In this clty with badges indleating thelr buslness, We are as: sured that Mr, Lane will exert every effort to make the ocensus returns from this olty as complete as poesible. Our citizons should take great pains to asslst the enumerators and afford them every faclllty to obtaln the desired information, Great care should be exercised in regard to the forelgn population, as they do not as a rule fally understand the bus!neas of the census taker, and the enumerators will find among them many persons who may at fizst be unwilllng to answer ques- tions, but who no doubt upon proper ex: planation wlil glve the required Informa- tlon. According to the new chatter the oty has the power to provide for and cause to be taken an enumeration of the inhabltants of the city. It would seem, therefore, that the clty councll under this provislon could materially aid the present state census, What wo want s an honest count, so that our city will make the showlng to which 1t is falrly en- titled. We care not for Inflated figures, but we do care for a reliable census, Uxress a healthy public sentlment is created against the brazen demands for {maglnery grading damagees, Omaha tax- payers will be swamped with judgments, There s not one man in a hundred of those Invelgled Into bringingdamage suits agalnst the cily whose property is not worth from 25 to 100 per cent more than it was before the grading was done. Men who never dreamed of bringing damage sults are now pretending to have sus- talned terrible losses, They would neyer have found it ovt had it not been for the dlsinterested lawyers who want to divide with them. These fellows are very much like the tender-hearted vension agents who are werking up penslons for bottle- scarred veterans who served their country as bounty jumpers and never came within a hundred miles of a battle. Tuk speeches of the legel fraternily at the court-house opening might lead some eimple-minded psople to belleve that the lawyers are about the only honest men in Omaha, Bat the fact that a lot of shyaters are scouring Omaha from center to clrcumference for contingent damage sults agalnat the clty, arlsing out of grad- ing streets that have becn materially im- proved, would indisate that the profes- slon is not so much a paragon of Integrity aa it was palnted by the orators of the bar.

Now that parlisment has ad- journed the psople of Great Britain are preparing to enter upon one of the (most exciting political cam- palgns that has been fought within a quarter of a century. The extension of the franchise has brought Into the field new elements whose strength can hardly be calculated at the present time, The last recess of the dylng parllament finds England confronting literally a maze of danger and difficulties. In Egypt alone there are three distinct elements in the troubls, any one of which in & day may spring into an lssue of vital importance. ne of the clearest in the public mind, because the easlest understood, Is the in- solent mendacity of France over the Bosphore affalr. She tacitly promtsed that the paper should not sppear, but it has come out, and ls as saucy as ever, and France has a chip onher shoulder and Is waiting to be catechised on the subject, England can hardly fall to ask some questions or fail to get an Insulting answer after the financlal convention which Mr, Gladstone whipped through parlivment as necessary to conciliate Eu- rope and save Egypt has been contemptu- ously hung up by the powers while they insist on the neutralization of the Suez canal, which would mean nothing short of manacling Englsnd in case of war, Englaud must be unftinchingly firm on all these polnts or lose her place as a power; but nobody sees how to be firm without fighting France, and if thers is to bs fighting Ruesia has the first call.

Hence Lord Rosebery has gone to Berlin to see the autocrat of Europe and humbly offer an unconditional surrender. Lord Roseberry has left Berlin for the Hague. Ho was received with great dle- tinction by Prince Blsmarck, and, judg- ing from the fact that he is now on his way to the Hague in company with Count Herbert Blsmarck, his mission may be consldered as having been entirely suc- cessful. What that misslon was has not yet been revealed. That It was not to carry on any negotlations with Russia through Count Schouvaloff is certain. Egypt was undoubtedly the subject to be discusted, and the maln question was re- specting Eogland’s permanent occupation of that country, What Bismarck asks in roturn for his edvice and coneent Is yet to be learned, There ara rumors that Prince Bismarck {s planning mighty changes on the map of Kurope. ith his colonlal polloy comes a striviog after water, a deslre to get better ocean out- lets for German commerce on the Adri- atic and in the German ocean.

A feel- ing of security has grown up in London grounded upon these considerations, but 1t would not ba safe for Russla to draw the Inference that England will submit to any amount of bullylng on the oater line of defence merely because she has an inner line which she considers safe. The Australlan colonles have taken an important departure in thelr commercial relations by moving for the establish- ment of a colonial zollverin or & custom union which will develop thelr rapldly growlng commerce, already sggregating over $500,000,000 per annum, and pro- tect thelr intercolonlal trade. Hitherto they have had no right to adopt a dis. criminative tarlff, and were bound to tax intercolonial trade like forelgn, The re- eults for which are now movin, 1 —namely: Intercolonial free trade—w! lace thelr trade upon the same ssls as our inter-state free trade and the same Inflaences will be brought to bear in developlng Indus- try and stimulating pronuction; and, more than this, will undoubtedly in time briog about a kind o} rele rom the commerclal dominatlon from the mother countr{ by lncreasing home products.

Slavery, war, and crimes of the muat barbarous eort have been their expoarl: ence and business so long that It Is not to be expected that they will be peacefal and civilized at once. But their over- throw wlll be in the interest of clviliza- tlon. It 1s notlceable that there Is a company that seeks to penetrate the Soudan, from Suakim to Berber, and so by way of the Nile Into contral Africa; and this may yet be done, They want a gift of the nl{mml built by the English government, and an allowance, annually ¢f money.

The surrender of Poundmaker, one of Rlel's leading Indian allies, with his force of over 2,000 men, loaves only the chief Big Bear with a fow hundred followers stiil in rebelllon, and the final collapse of tha movement cannot be long postponed. But the embarrassments of the Canadlan government over this matter are by no means ended. The proper dispoeition of Riel Is an exceedingly ugly question, There seems to be littlo doubt that the fellow I8 a crank, and yet there has been too mnch method in his madness for his performances to be excused as the antics of a funatlc. Moreover, there is no ques- tlon that some of his grievances were real ones. The issue of land patente, for ex- ample, which is the most important ex-. erclse of authority in a new country, has been sadly mismanaged, the officlals too often plsylng directly into the hands of the speculators and permitting gross wrongs upon honest settlers.
