Every month we have an announcem £rom Washington that the debt hus been | ¥educed severnl millions which the pub- lished statement fails to bear out. The Uuited States owes as much as it did months ugo. The bonded debt boarmg Interest is as large as it was then, There } huve been no bond calls and the accumu- Tuted revenues upplicablo to real debt ro- . duction are steadily piling up in the ! treasury. It is mere subterfuge to claim that ho rding monoy is the sume ns the puyment of the public debt, With sev- al millions of dollars of interest, which might be cut off by a proper culling 1n of bonds, constantly druuning money out of the treasury, Mr. Mauning’s policy of decliving to call in tho bonds and cut down the interest charge will not meet with public favor. No matter what the fncrease in the government nssets may be #olong as the debt remains as it is, itean- 0ot be called reduced. The people know eunough to know that there is & wide dif- ference between the accumulation of funds which can be applied for reducing tho debt, and debt reduction itself. Or all the civihzations of the east, Jupan is to-day the most prog ive, Uontact with western civilization has had the efivet of giving u now and rapid de- welopment to her sociul, religious and po- litical hfe. A gencral spirit of active re- form is manifesting itself thronghout the a country, Modern scioutitic ideas have —gained a firm foothold; the people enjoy “their full share of civil and religious lib- erty, the rise and spread of the news paper press 18 almost unprecedented in the history of journalism, and at present tho brather of the mikado is in Europe with the object of studying the most fit ting shupe to give to the constitutional form of government to be promulgnted #our years hence. Not the least import sut of the reforms now in progress is that which proposes the use of Roman Jotters insted of the Chinese churacters for writing the Jupanese lunguage. An gesoeintion for promoting the adoption of the Roman alphubet hus been formed sud bas published a schome which shows fhat twenty-two signs indicating sounds ©an be wade to represent the langu. sdequately, thus doing sway with the Shonsands of intricate symbols of s snd ideas which the Chinese writtun mgnas involve, THI OMAHA DAILY B oted Down, The proposition to sell one-half of the county poor farm was snowed undor by an overwhelming majority. Our advico to tho citizens of Omaha was very timely and effective, The proposition, as sub- mitted to the voters, looked suspicions on its face; and tho resolution passed by the commissioners made mattera worss instead of better, Tt left the impression that the commissioners did not intend to sell the farm to the highest bidder at public sale, but were linble to dispose of it to a syndicate of land speculators, The Beg first forced the resolution ont of the commissioners and when it found that the slution was not such a one as wns demanded in the interests of the county, it sounded the alarm and urged the people to vote it down. In its effort, 1t was seconded by no other paper. The Herald boldly advised the people to vote for the poor farm sule and the other papers didn’t have a word to say. Fortunately, tho BEE covers the entire ground of all purties und olasses of voters, and the rosult shows that its appeal was not unkoeded, and its influ- ence directed, in the right channel, made itself, felt. We were by no means adverse to the suloofa purt of the poor farm under proper conditions with sufe-guards agninst jobbery and corrupt ocollusion. It will do no harm, however, to keep the land for another year and when it is tin- ally disposed of to plat it with & view of the largest returns, New York. The loss of New York at this time, in view of the lofty hopes which have been ed of republican success s disap. pointing and unexpected. The high standard of the candidates nominated by the republicuns of the Empire state, the dissensions in the democratic purty and the return of the independents were all factors which promised u differont re sult. Instead of a republican victory, the dispatehies tell the story of a demo- cratic triumph 80 overwhelming t takes New York for some years to c out of the list of doubtful states and throws it into the nee with the solid south as a political factor opposed to the return of republican national suy It is mo use to minco matte York is mnaturally democrat with a large floating vote, inclin to jump to the &uccessful party, has cast the weight of its decision for the administration. The mugwumps cut a small figuro against the “heele and oflice sockers to whom the party is worth nothing but its sbility to furnish patronage. The patronage, just now, is not coming in any very large amounts from republican sources and tho result was anatural one. Incidentally, the friends of Mr Cleve- land n congratulate themselves over the outcome. The buncombe that demo- cratic defeat would be taken us an dorsement of tho administrati taken for what it was worth. of the republican rout, the tie victory can be 0 for nothing but an endorsement of the presi dent by his own stste, and an endorsement so heavy that thous- ands who voted last year for Mr. Blaine must bave contributed to secure it. 1t now remains to be seen whether New York republicans will re- tain their cohoesion as a party, and wait for the development of issues to add to their strength. The outlook is not en- tirely hopeless for the future, but it cer- tainly is discouraging. The condition of politics in the south has made New York the national battle ground in presiden- tial contests and given it an importance which it wonld not have without the sup- prossion of the colored voto. The futuro will show whether in 1833, democratic blunders and the gain of new blood will more than make up for the barnacle who have dropped from the republican organization and fastened themseives with their votes to the democratic party. No More Dodging. If Mr. Cleveland's policy of “‘slow and sure’’, which he has been steadily pursu. ing with an occasional sot-back, has dis- rupted his party, t result was not made manifest in Tuesday’s clections. In his own state the indorsement of o democratic victory was certainly em- phatic cnough to #uit the most fastidious partisan of the administration. In other states which held elections, it is diffieult to find any returns which oan be con- strued into u “rebuke’ to the admin- i ion, or evidence of democratic dis- rvation. Unfortunately for republi- cans, the democraey appears to bein bet- ter health, notwithstanding the dismal predictions of disappointed doctors who have failed to secure all they desire from the exccutive depurtment at Washing- ton. Winle republicans will do well to look the results of the late elections fuirly in the fuce, there 18 no roason why the dis- heartoned and feeble-hearted should be lowed to chant the death knell of the party. There are enough vital issucs, if they are only courageously pushed to the front, to divide public sentiment on a winning plattorm. The fact that the democracy is entrenching itselt in power is the best reason why the po- litieal contest should be made an agzres- sive one, Dodging issues for fear of losing votes will no longer be the win ning curd, The votes are lost already and ean only be regained in a manly contest waged for important principles which will attract the support of the hon- enst and influential men of all purties, So long as the republican party wus the the great moral ideas und not an organ- ization to maintain oflice-holders in their seats, it won its vietor steadily and surely, Its degeneration begun with the close of reconstruction, It ought to end with the dofection from its runks of the place-hunters and political barnacles who are now so vigorously swinging their hats for the demoerncy and the new administration at Washington What republicanisa needs most to-duy is a determination on the part of its runk and file no less than on the part of its ieaders to pluce themsolves abreast of the demaunds of the people for greatly needed reforms. The rofusal of the republican ad ministrations in the past W listen to anti- wonopoly demands, and the excolicut record which the present administration is making in clenn'ng ont the land-grab- bors and bringing the land grant rail- roads to she card, may be recommended to the thoughtful, attention of the repub- lican party as food for retlection. Lot the republican party once more place it- self on a platform of advanced ideas, backed by mon whoso skirts are freo from all taint of political jobbery anc will have more than a fighting chance to regain in the next election what it has lost in that of 1884, Roady to Figh irkey is astonishing Europe by the rapidity with which she hus placed her solf In readiness to quell nll assaults on her territory. The wonderful vitality shown by the “‘sick man of the east' dur- ing the past month gives the lie to the dis- paraging accounts of Turkey's foobloness and causes the inquiry whether the re- ports of her dismantied eondition, both as to purso and arms, are not inspired by those of her enemies whoso interest it is to deny the real strength of the Mu man power. According to the ports, 200,000 Turkish troops fully armed and equipped are now mustered on the irontiers, whilo as many more uare held in readiness to defend the interests of the crescont wherever they may be moenaced in the com ing struggle in the Balkans, No one who has read history believes that the Turks are cowards. In the last Russia-Turkish war the Mussul- men did what the combined hosts of England, France, Sardinia and Turkey did in the war of the Crimea—that is to say, fought the colossal Russian ompire single-handed and held Constantinople at the end. The history of the siege of Plevna exhibits Turkish fortitude in light which will not brook criticism. The porte is now ready to resume the con- flict and is only anxious that Europe shall not be allowed to interf s0 long as the war is with his own subjects. Unfortunately for the sultan no reopening of the Balkan problem can fail to array nltimately all the great powers on one side or the other, Russia is impatiently waiting to pass the fron- tier. Austria is peering towards Salonica and England’s eye is bent on the Dar- duanclles as the gate to the egress of Russin's ambition eastward, while reaching out expectant wyms to scize some share of the spoils. The dismem- berment of the Turkish empire in Europe is only a matter of time. But, when the time comes, it will never be accom- plished without a bloody conflict in which the Mussulmen courage, spurred on by religious fanaticism, will make itself once more felt against the Caristian steel.

They aropre- alreception and a If it meets siv ideas us to what isdemanded by the best interests of this city, they are readv to extend to it substantial aid. The fact that Omaha has suffered in the past, from profuse promiscs and meagre perform- ance on the part of railroad promoters, will not be allowed to prejudice the new entorprise if it i3 put on the proper foot- ingto command public support. Omahau wants a divect railroad counection with the northwest which will enable her mer- chants to transact business with a coun- try from which thev are now cut off. Our people arctired of enduring fatal diseriminations aguinst their com- mereial interests. Phoy will willingly join in assisting any man or body of men, whoever they are, who will give them guarantees that they will seeure a road such as they want and conducted on busi- ness mothods, which will not mility against the intorests of this city. If we have eorrectly soundod public sentiment, the railroad which Omaha de- sired is one which will have Owmaha for its eastern terminus, and which will tap the Elkhorn valley and the country to the northwest. ‘This rich and prosperous ction of the s s now shut out from our trade und given over to the tender merciesof a Chicago corporation. Its opening would mean hundreds of thou- sands in solid mouney y year to our merchants and would give a home mar- ket for the produce of the Elkhorn valley. A railroud north and south into Dakota is not what we noed or what is demanded. In the second place, the people of O ha, before voting a subsidy fora new lin will, we think, insist that most definite guarantoes shull be given that the inter- ests of Omaha shall be constantly felt in fts management. Whethor this should be dono by trusteeship or otherwise is n question which will admit of discussion.

The bourd of education has been authorizad, to sct aside $25,000 for the construction of the huilding under the contract made with the city for per- manout quarters.
