As was genorally expected, the demo- crats of Ohio have nominated Hoadly for overnor, e e Tur dacir;cra ln; ;unbluker- of owa have fused, and after the election " vhoy wlll be confus:d.

Norway seows t> be an attractive summer resort, Gladstone s already there, and Qaeen Victorla and the Princo of Wales sall for that country to-day. Tue midnight closing order is being protiy generally obeyed by the saloon- keopers, and it ls to be hoped that the marshal will contlave “to sce that 1t Is enforced. Tue principal foature of the platform of tho [owa democrats fs the declaracton in favor of the ropeal of the prohibitory lquor law, ard the substitution of a Ticente Jaw of $250, with the option to in- oreuse (ho liconne to $1,000. WE have used a powezful tolescope in looklng over the procoedings of the Iowa state democratlc conventlon, and nowhere have we been abls to dlscover even a trac) of the nam>of Vaughan. Thisis a case of mysterions disapp2arance. Hicx license is galning ground else- where. A graduated liquor licens» plank has beeen fnsarted in the Ohlo demo- cratlo platform, The democrats who de- feated the operation of the Scott liquor law are thus attempting to rectify their mistake. Cnicago, which has become noted as a great dlvorce center, has gained additlon- al notorlety on account of the rapidlty with which divorcos are granted In that olty. A day or two ago two divorces wera granted in thirty minutes after the filing of the petitions. Thisis a Maud S, galt, and it beats all previous racorda. FurLy 70,000 deaths from cholera have already cocurred in Spain, and the prob- abillty fs that the number of victms will reach 100,000 before the plegue can be ohecked. This is certaluly a great mor- tality for such a country as Spain, while the loss from the consequent paralyals of basinees can hardly ba overastimated. — Tue Boston Globe of August 17th was a patent medicine edition. It contalned an interesting history of the orlgln and growth of the pstent medicine {rade. Although intended as a advertisement the erticle furnlshes some important sta- tistics, Tho annusl eales of patent, or as they should bo more proparly cailed, proprictary mediclues in this country amount to between §22,000,000 and $25,000,000. Folly §10,000,000 is ex- p:nded in advertlsiog every year., There are 5,000 proprietary articles of home manufacture in our markets, Perhaps 500 of these are of importance, and barely fifty can b profit.bly run asan ndepend. oat business — ‘TuE proposition to Increase the assesssd valuation of propsrty in this olty 25 per cent Is characteriz:d by the Republican as ratkor censatlonal in one paragraph, and Inanothor 1t admits that “‘the valua. tlon i& ridicalous’y low, and the rate of taxation correspondingly high,” Tie fact 1s that the low valuation of resl ea- tato makes the taxesappear high, If property, however, was appralsed at one- thirdoreven one-fourth'of its actual valae the tax rateon tke dollar would be very muchlower, It msy bethat the clfy council has no legal right to make the increate In the manner proposed, but there cortaioly mast be some method by which the in. craase can bo made. That an increase is noeded is a fact that must bo admitted by everybody. The sggregale &siess. ment of property in Omaha to-day, not- withstanding the wany improvemente, the numeruos additions and the advanco in value, s leis to-day than it was fifteen years ago, when Omaha had lcss than one-third of Its present populatlon, I: stands to rezaon that tho olty's exponscs aro much greater, and {hat her sourcos of ravenue musi be increaved to meet the demand, According to Judge Lake, who is tt present so'ing m city atteracy, the only remcdy seen s to by by cqualization by the city council sittieg asa board of THE BELT LINE. The controversy over the Omaha Boelt railway is exciting a great deal of Inter- o8t in this city. It Ia genorally conceded that the Unlon Pacific has been onught napping, and the rexult is likely to prove beneficlal to the Interests of Omaha., It was the Ltusiness ¢f the Union Pasific company ¢ profect itself sgalnst any In- tornal wismansgement or abuse of power. Mt. Olark was not only the general man- ager but ho was cne of the vica-pres'- aents of the company. He originated and acquired the belt line as a Union Paclfic enterprise, but as the company virtually repudlated his actlon it must now ablde by the result. As & share owner In the belt line 1t will have Ita rights protected, and It will not lose any money that It may have Invesied In the enterprise, but the Unlon Paclfie should not attempt to obstruct public Improvements which it declines to undertako olther by resson of alack of money or dog-In-the-manger policy. As to the morlts of the quarrel between the Unlon Pacific and the belt line folks tho people oare little or noth- ing. Oar clty is simply intcrettad in haviog the road buoilt, and in oblaining through it fecllltles for rapld translt to the suburbs and the propo:od systom of boulevards and parke, Butmoreimport- ant than all this, the belt line is the foro- ronner of other rallroad enterpris:s which must have an entry to this city by means of the belt, Oneof these enter- prlses is a raflroad to tho north and northwest sectlons of Nebrasks, which is bound to be built at an esrly day. Origtnslly we oppoted the methods by which the bel: line acquired its right of way, but s'nce it has obtalned that right rlght of way, wo want to res the cl'y profit by the liberzl grants which it has mede to that enterprise. We under— stand that Mr, Clatk and his asacciates stand ready with the money to push the belt railway to @ rapid complatlon, and wo hope that they will mot bo any longer obstracted by the Union Pacific. There aro hundreds of laborers who want employment, and the money that will be expended in making the dlrt fly on the bel: line will prove of incslsolabla benefit to thia clty. We say lot the work begln at once, now that Judge Dundy has modified the Injunction so as to permit it, and at the same time pro- tect the righta of the Unlon Paclfic. This is a fair declsion, and ought to be sotlafactory to & partlea Interosted. THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER- WAYS. The northwest waterways convention to be held at St. Paunl will probably prove a convention of more than ordinary importance. The delegates from the Misscuri vailey car, by ueltivg with the reppresentatives of the upper Micslsstppi valley, accomplish results that will in the near future be of grent benefit to the western country. The Improvement of the waterways of the northwest, where the great bulk of the grain products of this countryis ralsed, is ths only means of holding the rallroads lovel. With adequate watsrways the abundant grain crops can be greatly moved to the markets of the world, and so long as they farnish transportation we will be enabled, through competition, to reduce the railwsy rates to reasonable competition. It is the Interior stresms that need Improvemeut, and {f congress in its appropristions gives the western water routes a falr proportion of the money intended for public improvements the people of the northwest will be satls— fied. It!s the Intentlon of the comirg convention to diecuss the subject in all its bearlngs, and formulate a reasonable demand to be presented to congress, and to urge early actlon in regerd to the matter. The importance of water-rontes in ths afisits of commerce, Is strikingly ehown in the followlng from the San Frandsco Alfa, regardisg tho waterways of Oalifornts: In 1882, out of » wheat crop of 1,200,000 tons, only 500,000 tons were handled by the railroad, and in1884 the railrcad carried only 643,000 tons, out of a total of 1,000,000 tons. ‘The importance of the Erie csnal to the com- merce of New York, as a regulator of railroad charges, is very great, but the importance to California of ber rivers and other navigablo waters is still greater. Nothing could atone for the loss if they were ruined by being filled up with slickens By reason of a stringent libel law In Texaa the press is virtually gegged, The Galveaston News, which recently pald $10,000 to eettle o judgment for libel, wishing to expose the misdeeds of the state land beard, took rather a novel and precautionary course to Insure itscl! agalust any libel sult in consequencs of any exposures it might make, It pre- sented to the board a reeclution, which 1t was requested to adopt, that the board would ““Jully exonerate, acault, relesse and hold free from all palus and penal- tles, sulte, costs, proceedings, damsges and liabilitles agair st the Galveston News for or on acccunt of anything it mignt publish touchipg apy member of the board in the management of the landed affalrs of Texas.” Tho resolution was adopted, and therecpon the News fired a broadside upon the board without any fear, chargiog among other tlings that the board, by its neglect and mlsmansge- ment, bas lost to the echool fund of the state the sum of §1 750,000, which should bave been colleoted under the law from the cattlemen during the past elghteen months, Goverxor Hiur, of New York, s not likely to bs bis own successor. Serlous charges are belog meds sgsinst bim, epecislly In regard to his appoiniment o Adirondack forest commisslonera, It Is equalizition, It that fs the osse then let |allsged that ho del berstely placed the it be cono #s econ as pessible, How- over, it is a difficalt problem and ghould be earefully stvdied bafore sny declslve sters are taken, ) ‘Lf the same men who have been plander- !u:mluluiuu in control of the lumbering Interest, and what Is worse, In the power ing \he etato foreits for years. The re- THE DAILY publican papers are not alone In glving carrency to these reports, which, add one more welghty reason to thore slready avalable for rejecting his clalms to be continned In office. It there is anything more than another that the average New Yorker takes a pride In preserving It Is thejAdirondack forests, and if the charges agalnat Hill are true he may a: well count himself a dead duck. Ex-Sexator McDoxawn, of Iadiwne, while admittlog that he wonld not have voted for «ivil service, now declares him- self In favor of itas It1s a law, and it bas come to stay. He also expresses his bellef that all the clerloal positions under the government should be entirely di- vorced frcm politles, and that the clerlcal help shou'd be appointed on the same principle that men are employed In /a-ge bsnking ¥nd mercantile blishments, While en {orsing the president’s civil ser vice attiiude, he criticlses his adoption of the ‘“‘cffensive partlsan” dodge, and con- siders It an unfortunate mistake. It Is evident that Mr, McDonald regarda it as an ovaslon of the elvil service law, thus patting the president in the poaltion of a straddler, —_—— Mavor Bovp esys the taxes should be diminished, not incraased. If he means the tax-rate per dcllar he s correct, and the ennly way to do itls by an Incrosse of the valuation of sroperty. He knows well enovgh that the preeent valuaiisn ls altogethe: too low. Mr, Boyd certainly does not mean, to say that our increased expenses can ba paid out of sources of reverue that are less to.dsy then fiftcen years ago. It eurely costs mera to run a city of 60,000 people than it dces ono of lees than 20,000. Tur Plittsmeuth Herald very jastly complains that in the appointment of the delegates to the northwes: waterways convention, Governor Dawes has en- threly fgnored the rlver towns, excopt Omaha. It m'ght have added that he almost ulterly ignored the iaterests of the waterwsys, as three-fourths of tho delegates are more Interested In tho rall- ways than they are In the water routey. ““Wno shall our gubernatorial can- didate be?” ia the question tbat Is now puzzling the New York republicans, Among the most prominent names men- tloned are those of Gen. Joseph B. Carr, Lsvi P. Morton, Cornelius N. Bliss, Senator Eyarts, Gen. Anson G. McCook, end Ira Davenport. Evidently there will be no lack of gubernatorial timber when the time comes. Tue Lincoln Journal made a serlous misteke in charging that there was a shortage in the office of Treasurer Ruth, of this county, It apologites to him, and gets out of Ita blunder by eaying: It meant to say “clerk,” and not ‘‘treas- urer” of Douglass county. Mr. Rush was not in the Journal’s mind at all, asall ac- quainted with D.vglas county affaira would see at once from the context, DuriNG the senatorial campsign In Iilinois, Horizontal Bill Morrlson made promises to everybody. He has returned to his home at Waterloo, and he is be- slezed on every hand by his supporters, who are calling on him to make good his promises, Whether he will be able to make the supply of federal soup go round remains to ba seen, WEe observe that the revised ofiislal re- port of the state consus glves Hastinga a populatlon of 7,980, which fs a reduction of 490 from the first claim of 8,470. Whether thls revision will prove ratis- factory to Grand Ieland remalns to bo seen. Notwithstandlng the reduction Hast!ngs retalus the positlon of thixd city In the stato. THE ravision of the state census did not changa tho populstion of Omeha, which is 61,835, 1t did, however, in- crexse Liocola’s prpulation, which was first ennounced 20,002, It Is now cred- ited with 20,004, This is accounted for by the fact that a couple of blrths oc- curzed jast {n time to increase the count, A Grorcia lawyer in addressing the jury in & clrcums!antial evidence case recently, msde feequont use of the re mark that 1t wero batter that ninety-nine guilty men should escape rather than cne innocent man should euffer. The judge, in chargirg the jury, sald that the ninety- nino guilly had loog sgo escaped. ——— TrAT any mav, cspecislly a oliizen of Omahs, should become a candidate for a federal office without coneulting Dr. Miller, s no doubt very galling to that democratio boss, Bas there is nothing like ““gall” in politice, Tue democratic state conventions are all endorsing Oleveland’s policy, but it ie a bitter plll for the speils-hunting ele- ment to swallow. With that element, however, dlsceetion is the bstter part of valor, hended from grasshoppers this season in the Mistouri valley,but the Indioations are that they are preparlng for an ex- teaslve raid all over the west next year. —ee Tue officlal ccusus report glves the s’ate of Nebraska a population of 740,645, Ia 1880 the federal cinsus gave us & population of 452,402, Thls shows & galn of 282,243, or about sixty per cent.

T An Attempted Burg'ary, Shortly after midnight, Wednesday night, George Bowen, who rooms in a houscon the corner of Twelfth and Howard streets, awoke to find a burglar in his room ia the sct of golog through the pockots cf his pantaloone. Bowen jumped out « f bed and sttempted to grapple with the burglar, at the sams time scresming for help. His ovles awoke everybody in the house, and four men immedistely ran to his assistance.

Beforo the officer reached the place, however, the burglar had mace his eecspe, succes:fully eluding the four men in tho darkners, There have leen eev- eral robberles committed in the same houee recently, and it is prcbablo that they were committed by the sawme man who attempted it lest night.
