WHEN & man goes ganning after an- other In Omaha 1t Is called dipsomania, Tue streot car strlke leads every paper In Ohlesg> to remark that walking Is good, Mgr, MaockiN, of Chicago, 1s out of politics. He would prefer, however, to be out of jail. Tue Omaha expositlon promlses to prove a greater success than any state falr over held in Omaha, S—— FormerLy when a man had snakes in his boota it was called jim-jame, but now the claesical lawyers call it dipeomanla, Tue Hocking Valley miners are now working ateadily, and labor aflsirs appear to be In a fairly satlsfactory conditlon in that reglon. Anoxa the mumerons candldates for the governorship of Georgia are three oditors. They would rather be governor than write. Tae telephone companies have always objected to profanlty, and it is intimated that they propose to subatltate *‘sheol-o” for “hell-o.” Jonas, of Loulslans, has at last been swallowed by the administration whale. He has been appointed coliector of cus- toms for the district of New Orleans, Sroux Crry claims a population of 18,5630, an Increase of over 11,000 since 1880. It is safe to say that the census takers have not overlooked anybody. TaE city council ought at least to order flat-stone cross-walks to be laid on Far- nam street. It can be done at small ex- pense, and it is a much-needed improve- ment, — Mg, Apans will not return to Omaha for twoor three weeks, This will glve the viaduct committee of the clty councll plenty of time to prepare another prayer- ful petition. AN exchange says that natural gas is tobeused as an illaminant in Kansas City. That cliy has s big supply of it, and its usefalness has already been dem- onstrated in the Inflated reports of its population, Tue Mormons continue to rope In con- verts from the ignorant classes of Earope. There are now 514 Swedlsh and Danish converts en route to Utah. The anti- labor-coniract law ought to be made to apply to these intentlonal law breakers, Lucros Quintivs Currivs LAMAR, JR., has been appointed stenographer and private secretary to the secretary of the interior, who has been Intimately acqualnted with him since his childhood, saul entertalns a very high - opinion of him, Tue president has made a Wisconsin man chlef justice of Idaho, and bas gone clear to Mississippi to find an editor to £ill the position of recelver of publlc moneys at Evanston, Wyoming. The administration lanot paylng much atten- tion to the platform recommendation that territorial appointees shou'd be clt- izens ot the torritories, FarNAy street 1s dlstigured by a most unsightly set of telegraph poles, If these poles cannot be dispensed with, it 1s to be hoped at least that they wlll be painted, which will greatly lmprove thelr appearance. There /s nothing orna- mental about telegraph poles, but at the samo time they can be made to look neat and respectable, and that, too, at very little expense. Tue cltizens of Nisgara Falls are mak- Ing great preparations for the formal opening of the state reservation at Niag- ara on July 16th, The commissioners of the state reservation will in behalf of the #'ate of New York take pessesslon on that day of the lands selected for the preservation of the scenery of the Falls of Niagara. Invitalions are being eent oot to prominent cltizens all over the country, ~ —— Two milllons of Cincinnati four per cen paving bonds have been negotisted at a premiom of §1.26 per §1,000. Omaha owea less proportionately than Clncionati, has & better credit, and ls more able io meet her obligations, yet ehe has no bonds drawing less than slx per cent. Under the clroumstaunces, and particularly now that moaey is & drug In the eastern mar- ket, the Omaha board of trade ought to bave no difficulty In negotiatlng the sale of seven per cent bonds forthe money needed in the constructionof the propoted chamber of commerce building, We cannot undersitand why certaln papers of this state go out of their way on every poseible cocasion to attempt to belittle Omahs, and at the same time puff outside olties, and partlcularly Kan- sas Clty, Weshounld think that every paper In Nebraska would take pleasure *® |in assisting to build up the commercial metropolis of this state. The growth and prosperity of Omaha are Indlcative of the growth and prosperity of the stwate. ‘What helps one helps the other. We are led to make these remarks by several statements whish have recently appeared 1n some of the state papers. One of these statements s as follows: Omaha has 50,000 population and Lincoln 15,000, The first named city has been claim- ing trom 60,000 to 70,000 and the latter 25,000, The fact s that no one has ever clalm- ed for Omaha a population of 70,000, nor a population of over 60,000, The estimates have ranged from 50,000 to 60,000, and the census, which 1s nowabont completed and will scon be glven to the public, will, as we are rellably informed, show that Omaha has fully 60,000 people within her olty limlts. This we belleve to bean honest enumeration. So far as we are concerned we have always been opposed to exaggerating the population and the commerce of Omaha, for if once Degun it must be kept up. Omaha la to- day the largest city in the three states of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, Iowa, with her 2,200,000 populatlon has no city any- where near as large as Omsha, and neither has Ka: The people and press of Nebraska certalnly ought to be proud of this growlng metropolis, which we predlet will contaln more than a hun- dred thousand people in 1890, Ix his article on ci sorvice reiorm, in the July number of the Norti Ameri- can Review, Mr. Dorman B. Eaton, president of the civil service commission, incldentally stated that he had in his possession a letter written by Charles P, Olson, formerly of Boston but now cf London, offerlng Congressman Laopold Morss $1,500 to secure for him the ap- pointment of consal at Gothenburg, Ger- many. This statement has proved a black eye to Mr. Olson’s prospects. Olson, it seems, was appointed by the court of Alabama claims as an expert witness to examine the books and records of sundry tnsurance companies and Indi- vidual Insurers, and to make up ached- ules therefrom to be uzed a3 testimony on the adjadication of claims pending be. fore the court. He was to examine the books and records and data of certain in- surance companies in thls country and other underwriters in Paris, Antwerp and London. He made this work secondaryto a general commission business in which he s engaged in London. The consulate, which he lsso desirous of obtaining, pays only about $2,000 a year, but he could afford to use $1,500 of thls sum as a bribe, as he could, by virtus of the con- sulship, make a big profit by introducing American manufactares in Gothenburg. Unfortunately for Mr. Olson, the article of Mr, Eaton met the eye of Mr. Cres- well, the prosecuting attorney of the oourt of Alabama claims, and the result 15 that an order has been lssued revoking all commissions {ssued to Olson. It is not very likely that the enterprising Oleon will push his claims any farther for the Gothenburg consulship, Mr. Eaton did a good work for civil service reform by his incidental reference to Oleon, He killed two blrds with one stone, Ix Illinofs there 1s a law providing a heavy punishment for gambling in graln. Under this act if the losing party does not sue to recover within six months the amount lost, then any other party may bring sult to recover three tlmes the amount and retain for his own uee one- half of the sum collected, while the bal- ance goes to the county. This law Is soon to be tested In qulte a big case. One Edwin Partridge lost $150,000 in grain gambling, his agents being a well known Chlcsgo commission firm, but he didn’t sue to recover within the limit of six monthe, Another party now comes forward and sues the commitsion firm for §450,000, three times the amount lost by Partrldge. Should he be successful in recovering the amount, which Is not very likely, ho would recelve $225,000, and the county would recelve an equal sum, Mr. Partridge would only be entitled to his witnees fees. If this law were en- forced it would put an end to graln gamb- ling in Chicago. Lapy Ranpoors CHURCHILL person- ally conducted the campaign for her return to parllament. She thing or two about politics as she is an American woman, Lord Churchill made a bargain with her that she should do allthe work of the cam- palgn and have all the glory, if viotory perched upon her banner, The Iatest ocable advices state that she has been vic- torlous, She may be sald to be the Mra, John A, Logan of English politics. New York is trying to question there- llability of the Chicago directory census, which gives that clty about 700,000 pop- ulation, and yet New York has the sublime cheek to claim a population of 1,500,000 when Its directory shows only a trifle of over 300,000 names. In other words, New York runs up a big popula- tion by multlplying the directory names by b, while Chleago has waltiplied only by 4, The fact s that the ususl multiple is 33, and the lowest 2}, Taar old fossil, Judge Lambert Tree, of Chleago, was glven a new lease of life | aud prominence by belng made a candi- date sgainst Logan durlng the last few ballots In the Illinols senatorial contest.

He has now been appolnted minfater to Bel. glum, Incldentally, it strikes us that it 15 a little late in the season to transplant such an old Tree. — OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Proceedings In the British parllament daring the past week have been common- place and monotonous. The tory min. Istry ls cautiously feellng its way to avold any serlons blunder. Even the prcpored budget Is being withheld so far In order to ascertaln whether 1t oan be asked from the liberals. The advantsge gained by the latter through the masterly retreat of Gladstone at a most crltical pertod is now admiited on all hands, There Is now no doubt that Mr. Gladstone does not mean to retlre at present from public life, and does mean to lead the libcrals in the coming campalgn, Moreover, his health is not only good but very good, and his Intellectual keenness as great as ever. So that the contest In the fall will probably be fally as lively as that In 1879. stituency of Mlidlothian announcing that he wlill again be a candldate for thelr euffrages Is eimply an Inti. mation not cnly that he s again willing to represent that partlcular sectlon of his party, but that he consld- ers It an absolute necessity of the con- tinued exlstonce of that party that he should still be Its leader. Soon after his defeat on the epirlt-duties question Mr. Gladstone sald that he had permanently retired from public life. And, Indeed, the Intimation was not unexpected. It was known that his health was serlously undermined; that at tlmes he suffered from an ominous pbysical depresslon and prostration; and that of late hls voice —in his caee a most miracolous organ—at times almost whol- ly failed him at the crltical moment. The reason for Mr. Glad- atone’s reconsideration of his denlal of furthor politicsl honors is therefors obyi- our. He again comes tothe front at a mozt critleal moment in the history of his party and hls country only through the presaure of abaolute party necessity. He comes forward, If possible, to save his party from the dlaintcgration with which it is threatened. The question, In view ofa conungency which involves, per- haps, the sacrifics of his life, Is: Will Mr. Gladstone succeed in probably this the last and moat herole effort of hia po- litical history? The sentatlon of the day in England centers In the ‘'feelers” put forth by the tory government In respect to the Irlsh questlon, in the shape of a speech and a pamphlet from Arthur James Balfour to his constituents at Hertford. Balfour is Sallsbury’s son-in-law, and the new chlef secratary for Ireland, and his utterances have thus an emphatic importance in in- dicating that the new administration in- tend to make a bold attempt to form a majsrlty In parllament by out- bidding the Illberals for the sup- port of the semi-detached radlcals and the Parnellites by a policy of home rule for Ireland. Hedeclared outright that he deeired no leas than Chamberlain to eeo Ireland governed by equal law with England, and all exceptional legislation agalnst the Irish abollshed forever. In his pamphlet Mr. Balfour argues that the necessity of Ireland no less than that of England demands its continuance under the imperial government, but that 1t should have independent self-govern- ment, and for this purpose he advocates the substitution of the present vlce-regal machinery of an elective central board. How far the Salisbury government will g0 In such a scheme depends upon the way In which these tentative propositions ora recelved. But of course coerclon will not be heard of, and 1t is acknow!- edged on all hands that that hideous an- athronism, Doblin Oastle, {s doomed. This is a wonderful change of front for Salisbury, for whom no measure of re- pression could be too severe; and who has spent his bitterest Invective upon Mr. Gladstone for his concetslons to Ireland. The conservatives confess to have great hopes for the coming elections. Mr. Parnell will probable serve In par- liament ofter the next general election as the member from a London district in which the Irish vote predominates. Mr. Justin Mc Carthy will probably represent the Irlsh district In Liverpool, and Mr. T. P, O'Connor is likely to be sent to parliament by a Glasgow dlstrlct. Mean- while Mr. Parnell is busily engaged with the people of Ireland select'ng candi- dates for various distrlocts Blegar, the Redmends and other old members will be the candldates in the north of Ireland and in other districts which are consid- ered doubtful. The dlatricts which have an overwhelming or even a safe national- ist majority will take candldates from the new men who must be called into public lifo In consequence of the increased national power which results from the late ects extending the franchize and as- signing representation to dlstricts in the lleu of the rotten borough system. Lord Salisbury’s ministry seems deter- mined to begin an energetlc foreign policy 8 soon as possible, The Mahdi is to be emashed, This pparently In compll- ance with the demand ot Sir Garnet Wolseley, who wlshes to have the oppor- tunity given him for gaining the laurels that slipped bis grasp In the boastfal ex- pedition to Khartoum. But ‘‘appar- ently” only, for the determinatlon to re- new the Soudan campaign by the con- servative minlstry is In reality brought abont by the attitude cf France. M. Waddington has asked Lord Salls. bury to fix an _early date for the with- drawal of the Britlsh trcops from Egypt. The Englsh premier's response to this demand is found in the renewed rap- prochement between London and Berlin, which, though apparantly dlrected againsu Russla, s in fact aimed at France, Prince Bismarck bas always advised England to ** stick to Egypt.” [n return he wishes free scope for the development of his colonlal echemes In Africa. France s very naturally annoyed, M., do Lesseps has made himself the month- plece of French chagrin, and prophesies that unlees England withdraws from the land of the Pharaohs the Egyptlan dls- pute will end in an Apglo-French war, Even Mr. Gladstone, at the time of the Bosphore Egyptien business, when he ordered the Guards to disembark at Alexandris, saw the davger to Brit- {sh predominence in Eiypt threst- ened by FKrance, and the conserva- tives are natul not loth to follow the line marked out by their pre- decessors in cflice, in gusrding Britith interests In conueclion with the safcty of the Suez canal, The tone of the Eng- Iish press during the recent Suez con- gress in Parls was not to be mlistaken on this point. Eogland ls undoubtedly lu earne:t in her determination to mala: Gladatone's letter to his old con- |8 tain her military Egypt, and France, though she may resent Britlsh stubborn- nesy, has cortainly no one to blame but hereelf in not assuming, when she had the chance, a part of the military control there. Lost opportunities seldom return, either to men or natione, and France will find 1t almost impossible to make good the slns of omisslon committed by M. de Freyclnet In 1882, Lord Sallsbury’s determination to con test the Inclination of M, de Lesseps to ‘“'bestride the narrow waterway llke a COoloesus,” and of France to reassert any commanding influence in Egypt, has un-. doubtedly recelved itsa Inspiration from Berlin; and the threatened resumptioncf the campalgn in the Soudan by England can only have forits object the keeplng of sufficlent trcops in Epypt to be ready for emergencies, in view of ‘‘the anger of France.” footlng in Rusela is continuing her preparations for war. A thourand men are a work on the Trans-Casplan rallrond which ex- tends from Askabad toward Sarakhs, Elght hundred men are employed In the later place erectlng fortifications and bullding barracks for troops. It i o reported that the Ruesians are buildlng ridge over the Marghab river, which flows past Penjdeh and Merv., Thls work s not done with a peaceful intent. It is simply part and parcel of the design which Ruesla has followed for the last two years or more. Steadily dur- ing all that timoe she has had her eyes upon the Gates of Indla. Peralstently shc has pursued one object in central Asla. Untll Russla can so menace India that England wlll not dare to protect Turkey and Constantinople, Russien ambidon will not be eatisfied, It was for this purpose that the Ruesian army was advauced beyond the Casplan eea. It was with this in view that Askabad, Tijend, Merv, Sarakhs and Pendjeh were successfally taken. It lain pursuance of this original purpose that the railroad Is to ba extended, the Murghab bridged and Sarakhs fortitied. The change in the English miniatry may alter the pollcy of England, but it does not affect the policy of Russla. The peo- ple of England and America think of the accesslon of the conservalives to power with reference to Its general effect upon England, Russia watches etealthily, like a cat, to see one thing only, and that is how her acheme of conquest in Central Asia will be affeoted by the change in England. Lord Sallshbury and Lord Randolph Churchill were especlally severe In their denunciation of Rueeia during the Glad- stone administration. It was therefore thought by some persons that Russla would, after Lord Sallsbury had assumed the government, demand an explanation of the remarks made by him and Lord Randolph Churchill. But Russla Is too much in eirnest for that. She ls deter- mined, if possible to secure Herat— peaceably, If she can; forclbly, 1f she must, She s willing to forget the in- sults which were cast upon her by the conservatives when they were out of power, if she can keep them qulet now that they are In power. Sooner or later, though, the clash In Central Asla will come. The vallant republic of Hayt!, on learning that a single man-of-war was taklng our minister to its shores, st once released from confinement the American cltizen—Mr. Van Bokkelen—whom our state department for a good while back had been trying to get out of confine- ment. We rather regret the release. We are not anxious for a war of any kind on this contlnent, but a collislon with the republic of Hayt! might be a great thing to the psople of that country. This Amerlcan ropublic 1s nothing more than a slice of Gold Coast savagery trans- erred to a West Indian island. From its former French masters it got no more fhan a most superficial varnish of civili- zatlon and christianity. Voudoolsm, with all its attendant crueltles and horrors, is the really established religion of the country. The people are sinking steadily to lower and luwer degrees of savsgery. We have great confldence In the futare of the negro In contact with the white race, and none at all In his working out a clvilized future inseparatlon from that race, and this, unhspplly, is what Tous- saint I'Oaverture and independence achleved for Haytl. Germany is determined to get posses- slon of Zanzibar. There s a petty dis- trict lying to the north of Sultan Say- yld’s realm over which Germany clalms the protectionate. But the proximity of Zanzlbar, we are naively told,‘‘endangers the peace of Witu "—this Is the name of the protected district-—and so the danger must be removed. Sayyid, the lamb, Is evidently destined to be eaten up by the northern wolf. The wolf has elready slain more African lambas than he has been uble to digest. S AND FERSONALS, Lieut. H.
