GENERAL GRANT bravelycontinues the struggle with fatal diseaso, His condi- tion has slightly improved during the last fow doys. It iathe wish ¢f every one that he may live to see and celebrate another Fourth of July, but it 1snot probabls that he will live another yoar. P AssistaNe PostmasTEr GENERAL Hay, who has made hay while the sun shone, has tendered his resignatlon, owing to poor health. His succeesor, cx-Congress- man Stevenson, of Illinoir, {s sald to be an able-bodled man who can decapltate 160 postmosters o day without the loast fatigue. That's the kind of a man the hungry postoffice seekers have been look- ing for. Mg, James CrelcaroN positively de- clines to accept a reappolnsment as chairmon cf the board of public works, and Msyor Boyd will doubtle:s nominate his successor next Tuesday evening. ‘Whoeyer may be selected by Mr. Boyd ehould be a practical man and thorough- 1y competent to supervise the public improvements that will be carried on in this clty during the noxt three years. — Tue Fourth of July celebratlon i Omaha was very creditable, when it Is taken Into comslderation that hardly a week’s time and less than $1,000 were ex- pended In getting up the affalr. It dem- onstrated that Omaha cin create a great denl of enthusiasm on short notles, and it 1s to bo hoped that hereafter she will have a celebration on every Fourth of July, If the proper steps ars taken we can draw thousands of people from sall parts of the state. —— Five thousand acres of the Omaha In- dian lands are to bo appralsed by three sppraisers, one of whom {s a member of the tribe. The two others are from dls- taut states, Mlesiseippi and Georgla, This is golng a good ways from home. It strikes us that tho administration could have found democrats enough in Ne- breska for ihis sppraisement, and it stands to reason that Nobraskans know more about the value ot lands in this state than the gentlemen from the sunny south. Eyony Srorrs has made the discovery that one of the jurors in the Mackin trie! is Insane, and he has accordingly made a motlon for a new trlal. As the verdict of guilly was In perfect accord with the wvidence acd with eanity, Mr., Storrs will have difficult work to convince anybody that his Insane juror was not sane at the 4kme that verdict was rendered. The ineanity dodge 1s gettlng to be altogether too common when attempts are made to prove that jurors who render just ver- diots are Insane 1x settling some of the Indlan troubles that are now brewlng In varlous sections of the country, It would be advisable, while quisting the Indlans, to sit down on tho feetive cowboys who have done more to stir up lll-feeling than anybody else, This ie the opinlon of Mr, Atkins, the commissiower of Indlan aflairs, and it s eminently correct, Upon belng urged to dlsarm the Indlans of Arizons, . he soggested that the cowboys also be dlsarmed aa he failed to seo any raason why cowboys should be permitted to carry arma i the ludians were denled that privilege. He cannot understand why any person—white, black or red— should be allowed to ride over the conn- try armed with Winchester ritles and srmy revolvere, free to choot any one in slah western cities. Incidentally, we are in- clined to the belief that Kansas City has the natlonal flag floats.

Not Fourth of July.. This ls accounted for by | gqy as the only means of estimating the growth of the metropolis, For obvious reasons, the di- rectory-maker does mot come anywny mear takiog the place of tho census-taker, but when the dircctory of any city is compiled year aftor year by the samo firm, it affords a rensonably fair basis for comparisons. The | firm stand which they took In behalf of bus! volume just issued indicates that our popula- tion has increased during the past five years at a rate scarcely below that which beld between 1875 and 1880, Tho di- rectory for 1885 contains 810,746 names, which, on the theory that each name in the list representa an averago of five persons in the community, would make the whole num- ber of inbabitants no less than 1,553,730, But ing that the actual proportion was only about four and a halt, The dircctory of 1850 con- tained 206,282 names, and tho new volume has 310,746, Applying the “rule of three, we find that the same ratio as held in 1580 city 1,108,062, s against 1,200,677 five years ago, The increnss between 1875 and 1880 was 164,691, and the inczease of 201,- 475 between 1880 and 1885, accepting the above estimate for tho latter year, although much larger, represents almost exactly the the nermal growth in one direction, but on the other hand, the foreign immigration into this city, of which New York city always retaing a considerable residuum, has been nearly three times as largy in the last five years as in the previous five, so thatthe actual growth of the whole population has probably been about as rapid in the later as in the earlier perlod, It seems reasonable, therefore, to conclude that New York now contains more than 1,400,000 people, ST. PAUL'S PRIDE. It must be admitted that St. Paul is an enterprising and lieral city. The erection and opening of *he Ryan hotel, ia magnificent seven-story structurs, costing in the vicinity of a million dollars, is an event of which the people of that clty may well feel prond. The new hotel would be a credit to any city in the world. St. Paul to a great extent owes its marvelous growth and prosperity to the liberallty, public epirit, and united actlon of its promlaent citizens, notably the wealthy men. TIf Omaha's rich men, although fewer In number and as a rule possessing individually less capital than those of 8t. Paul, had in the past exerclsed the proper eplrit of liberality, enterprise, and harmony this clty—In splte of the varls time been thrown in its way, particularly by the rallroads—would to-day have oeen bullt up in a much more metropolitan style and would have had at least 75,000 iohabitants, When Mr, Ryan, the projector and proprietor, made his proposition to bulld this grand hotel In St. Paul upon condition of a bonus of $200,000 the cit!zens promptly acoepted the offer, and had no difficulty in securing subscriptions smounting to| THAT Indepondent and outspoken | 800 Justice, which, durlng the three $205,125, the surplus over $200,000 be- ing taken to make up aby deficiency that might occur by reason of any defaulting on the psrt of subscribers, One man alone subscribed $25,000, seven others pledged $10,000 each, elght others put down their names for $5,000 each, while & large number subscribed from $1,000 to £3,000 each, The Pionecr-Press gave §5,000, which was certainly a lib. eral donatlon on the part of a newspaper, The most notable subscription, however, was that of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway company, which gave $10,000, When did any of the many rallroads at Omaha ever do anythlog llke that for | reduction of ong-guarter in tho rato of [/ this city? Omaha has never received any such substantial glft and encouragement from avy of the railroads, bat o: the con- trary ehe has pald out hurdreds of thou- eands of dollars (o the begglng raflroads was an Insult to the loyalty of the people, and a challenge to the Unlted States authorities, That insult will no doubt prove a costly venture for the Mormons, and the challenge to execute the laws will bo accepted by the federal author- itiess It was mnot a thought- less act on the pert of the Mormon officials, but was In accordance with a premeditated plan. The wonder only were the ex-unlon soldfers wrought up to the highest pitch of indignatlon, but also prominent ex-confederates.

While tho starry flag Is dipped in the ood Atlantic, amid songs of praise, shouts of rejolelng and boomlag of can- non, making a continuous roar and pro- longed echo three thousand miles—aun- folds over stream and river, mountain and plain, stirred by breez:s of the broad Paclfic, shows a shining belt of red, white and blue from ocean to ocean. As cltizens of the republic we havea Tho great privileges we enjoy will bo longsr malntained, tho more we esteam and value them. When we czage to bo proud of the brlillancy of the gem of ualversal liberty it will be only tinsel and a trinket inour possession and be wrested from our nerveless hands. 1t {8 meet that the old should come and renew atrength and hope by recalling all that liberly has done for them, and youth should come seeking Inspiration to cherish and defend this boon, which cost 80 much yet 8o frail as to be easily lost. To know its value wo must not forget its cost, Toknow ira permanancy, we maust not forget how easlly it may be wrenched from our grasp. THE HISTORY OF ALL REPUBLICS aitest both, and shows that this pearl of great price never was taken from a pec- ple until they had ceased to appreciate its walue; until they had sulfered the conconiration of great wealth in the honds cf the few, withdrawiog from the many tho frults of honest labor; and with great woslth thus acquired tc pro- fano the temple of justice, to purchass the halls of leg!slation, and corrupt even themsclyes in the source and fountain of power. A freo peopla has mnever boen msn- acled until they themselves have placed in the hands of an oligarchy the materlal to forge the chalns and then basely ex- tendad their arms to receive the fotters. Taking the ages past, history genarally leased him upon $15 batl, which was fur- | presents but one page; that of wrong, re- | the same as amoug the pression and saflering. Wo gaze upon tke earth, mea and sky, beautiful to the eye and thought; abuudant to provide for nees of each, even the humblest, of the the thoueands of hundreds of millions en- tombed. You need not read the record of all the ve? day, among the nations of the earth and realizs how little six thousand years bas accomplished for the world, Figures have not yet been found to compute the years that would be requirad at this rate of evolution, to glve all men, who are a full fruition cf what theyshould possess, Again gaze upon the earth, and sea, and sky. Imagine all natlons, speaking languages innumerable, with diverso theories of government, and religion, separats from them the handfal of rulers and the oligarchies who rule the rulers, and thatvast muliitude without a diesent- Ing volce, would ralse one piteous cry, | quently the ccurts. The Evolu- tion, from the time of the Iaraclite, has been slow indeed.

So Carthage, whose founders, driven from Tyre, wers the Parttans, the pll- grlms of the eaet, the peer of Groece, whose great names still adorn the world, from her dizzy height, EVOLUTED INTO DECAY AND DEATH, Rome, so long the mistress of the world, dethroned her kinge, deetroyed ber oligarchy, and becamo a cclozeal re- pablic, distingnithed in arms, arts and clvilization; following othcrs, she euf- fered the few to obtaln the wealth and tho poor to bo dependent. The inevit- able result followed, and she perished In the same gulf whers othar rapublics were baried, and again evolutlon went back— wards, Do you siy that natlons like individ- uals must decay and perlsh? Certsicly; but the world has evoluted only a short distance beyond the Israelit!sh common- wealth, Carthage, Groece and Rome. This day msnifeststhe pride and thank* felness for all we enjoy; but standing now near the mountain top of oar great- ness, shall we not learn from the lessons of the ages? Rome had no homes‘ead law like the Jews; but In her early days a decree that no man should own to exceed five hun- dred acree; though mnever repealsd, this becams a dead letter; becsuse the oli- garchy despised and ignored 1it, and “bought up the estates of small linded proprietors, placing them under cultlva- tion by slaves or using them for parks and ornamental grounds.” HEyen then, some patrlotic Romans sought to stay tho deadly tide, but the Gracchl had few influential symputhiz:rs and the psople hed becomoa powerless. True, her citi- zons wore caliured in Greek philozophy, in history, poeiry and tho acts; but the spark of independence had perished in the hearts of her peop'e and THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM HAD FLED before Cinsar had crossed the Rubicon, Tho world’s map snl history {s un- rolled before us.

This octopus must be grapled by our tlme.
