A RUMOR comes from Oluo that Sena- tor Sherman’s re-election to the senate is not assured by the fact that the legisla- ture is republican on joint ballog. The republican majority is only three, and democratic papers are boasting that at least two republicans will withold their votes from Mr. Sherman when balloting begms. We hope that the ramor will prove to be u false one. The loss of John Sherman to the senate would be ana- tional one.

We are wmore than twice the size of five years ago. The de- mand for brick, owing to the inereasing value of lots and the extension of the fire limits is more than proportionate to our growth.

The management of this vast enterprise will be given over to a board of twenty-five trastees, of whom Scoator wford himseli will be one. To a greater or less extent nobl be insti tations of learning are products of timo | and not alone of money. Reputation, influence, the power to attract scholars to the profes ips and students to the lecture halls eannot be sceured at onee, lowever solid the fonndations or heavy the endowments.

There are business buildings and ted for 1886 to year—probably more so than the year that is now draw- ing to a clos The chamber of com- merce, the First National bank building, the Paxton block, 132 feet squave, at the corner of Farnam and Sixteenth streets, the Barker building, the Bz building te the court house. the city hall, the Merchants’ National bank, the United States Nutional, aud probably the Com- mercial Nutional, the Union Pacific headquarters addition and a large num- ber of stores and other business buildings are omong the struct ures that ve all y been decided on for mext year. The majority of these buildings will be begun early in the spring and completed during the season, while & few will require a longer time and consequently lap over into 1887, Within cighteen mouths from the present time the new Union Pacific bridge will be finished. With the completion of the bridge we shall probably have a new Union Pacific depot, and the prospect is very favorable forall the eastern rail- 1 trains coming into this city. Addi- tional freight houses will be built, and it safo to say thaf we shall have more gram elevators, The-building of one or more viaduets will also add to the general improvements. The completion of the Omaha belt railway will occupy @ portion of next season, and will be the means of establishing several new and important enterprises. In addition to all this, there will be con siderable moncy expended for public improvements such as street pa grading, and the extension of sewer: All these things, it must be admitted, will combine to keep up the boom m Omaha. Whatever may be the general condition of the conntry Oniaha will cer- tainly continue to grow. The indica- tions are that the country at lavge will be blessed with prosperity’ OpDOs] or will not mect the demands upon them it is high time that outside capital should intevest itsolf in this branch of industry inOmahs.

There is a contingency which General Sheridan’s friends do not foresce, or 1if they do, which thoy are powerless Lo pro- yide against. In the event of the passage of steh o bill what is there to prevent Mr. Cleveland from jumping the licutenant general entirely, and promoting General The depression in manufactoving and commercial cireles reached its lowest point lust summer. The tendeney for the t throe months has been steadily up- ward, and we have every asurance that the sitnation will continue to improve. This is conceded by the most conservative financiers and business men of the country. The manufacturers who have resumed all along the line are not only ronning full time but are either in- asing their eapacity or working over- time, and the large stocks which have been allowed to run down are now being replenished to the full limit building is on the increase in conse- quence of the renewed prospenty, and Nebraska wili doubtless have more miles of road constructed in 1886 than in any preceding year, that the metropolis of Nebraska will be largely benefitted by the various railws extensions, especially those to the worth and northwest. Taking everything iuto consideration tho outlook is very bright, and the people of Omahamay confidently rely nupon the continuation of tl Haneock to the position of general of the army. Gen, Hancoek is & democrat and 15 belioved by many of his friends upd party to be superior to Sheri u soldier, besides having the advantage of belanging to the party in power.

Prince Alexander’s campuign of defense was short, It was rapidly converted into one of offense Two of the three corps of the Servian army were attacked and beaten in de- tail, the of Slivitzna raised, the | Desgoman 1 1, and af last re- ports the Bulgarian troops, 50,000 strong, were dviving the Servianrout in disorder aceross the frontier,while the headquarters wers were firmly established in the Servian city of Pirot. Milan has twice sued for an armistice and has been twice refused, unless the conditions of the evacuation of the Widdin district and a heavy war war indemnily were com- plied with on the part of Servin. The tirst condition must he granted very soon or the little Servian corps, deserted by the rest of the aviny, will fall captive to the Bulgarians, The second, too, will come when the victorious Alexander die- tates the terms of peace. The pow ers, @ few weeks ago to interfere on Dehalf of Buigavia, are now interceding for Servin,while Alexander, whose crown was then m danger, is now the conq uer- ing hero of southeastern Burope. Milan had been reasonably successtul as o gov- ernor of Servia. The province had pros- pered under his rule. Sorvia began to assume a position of some import- ance among fifth-rate nations. Her people were being cdu- cated. Her military system had been wtly improved, But her king unfor- tunately became inflated with his own importance, and pride has had a fall, He was o positive that he could march direetly over the Balkans and into Sofia that he looked with contempt upon the ordinary precaution taken by the invad- ing armies of bringing along supplics. He met with a defeat at Slivnitza, was driven out of Dragoman pass, had no commissaviat to fall back on, and his army completely routed, demoralized, out of rations and ont of ammunition, is flying beforc the pursuing Bulgar- jans One of his generals, fecl- ing some responsibility for this stupid blunder, has committed suicide. Milan himself is deposcd, or threatened with deposition. Servia has lost her po- n in the ostimation of Europe. Her peopte feel disgraced. The result will most likely be numerous insurrections and the wreeking of institutions which afew weeks ugo gave promise of a and prosperous life. And all this wuse the destinies of the peoplg were in the hands of & man who had more am- bition than sense, wmore diism than brans, wmore arrogance than judgment. # Kin aseries | siogo it ¥ Asindicated for a fortnight preceding the onening of the polls, the sclections this week in England have vesulted in o series of tory vietories, Up to Friday the net conservative gains, including the Parncllites, were forty seats with & cor- responding liberal loss. Another week remains hefore the result ean be decided, But every sign points to an overwhelm- ing fusion majority of tory and Par- nellite, with perhaps o clear conservarive majority over all. Viewed from the stamd point of a year ugo, this outcome of Mr, Gladstone's bold extension of the fran hise to the lower classes is amazing. The 2,000,000 new voters who were ex pected to bulwark m power the party which enfranchised them, have thrown their forees to the support of the men wao for years fought most bitterly against theiv admission to the priveleges of frec. men. But the vesult has been for d- owed since the beginning of the cam- paiga. With new eleetors, new constituencies, and new methods of canvassing, the elections were sure to be filled with uncer tainty and doubt, I'he political condi- tions were also anomalous. Neither party presented any sharply defined pol- icy. The tories mude an adroit use of issues, niming to attract votes by an agitation ust disestablishment, and by timely appeals for fair trade, and at the samo thme maintained o discrect ant not to repel the support of My, Parnell’s English followers. The judgment of new lectors was not enlightencd by any clear definition of tory prineip! The liberals, in like manner, appealed to the country on the general record of the part My, Gladstone, instead of pre- tie legislation us he did in 1880, exerted himsclf to unite his followers and to con- caused by radical excesses was certainly premature, although not perhaps ill founded, This lack of definiteness in dealing with the questions of the day added much to the existing confusion. | prineiples 1 | of a recent x | name of “Bismarek.” The new clectors in the new boroughs and shive di ms were called upon 10‘ BEE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1885, with the liberal or with the tory witheut heing favored with an in sunt of what liberal on dlly, ave.

Ferry and his col- leagues have taken to heart the lesson of the clection. There is no marked change in their policy. Large grants of money and men are asked to carry on the war upon the Tonguinese and the Malagese and no plan of settlement or evacuation is even suggested. That these announee- ments were coldly received not sur prising. Their rejection or essential modification in the direction of economy is what the French people have intimated to be their will, and if Mr. Clemencean is true to his pledges it will be done With the new year will come in the discussion of some very grave questions; notably the separation of church and state. M. Yves Guyot, who has been the only radical brave cnongh to set forth in distinet phrase a plan for the separation, has had some hard knocks both from the moderates, who dislike to have separation bronght on the carpet just now, and from his radieal brethren, cach of whom would have preferred his own scheme to he under discussion, The colonial policy will be attacked, but here the conservatives may expeet defeat, and v run the risk of placing themselves in an unpatriotic attitude, which will do much to injure them in the eyes of the provineial voters, Outside cannot help believing that arge classes of Frenchmen eviticise and deprecate the colonial policy they are seeretly glad to see it so actively pur- sued, If the chambers do not undertake radieal reform in commercial matters, the country will he sely discon- tented. The unwisdom, not to say folly, e of the conventions with the great railways has been demon strated very fully within the last six months. A prominent commercial jour- nal in Bordenux lately published a statis ical table showing that on “one of the great railways the freight rates had been raised nearly fifteen per nt since the conventions. This increase to the all- cerushing tarifls is very general through- out the country, and is doubtless one of of the main reasone bf the paralysis of trade. It 1s useless to reason with the monopolists, who arc intoxicated with their success, and who refuse listen to the arguments of the cconomists, Th have plenty of defenders who the commereial decline to a dozen eauscs other than the trae one;and as mon- opolists are grinding the life out of the people, all the time preaching to them and persuading them that they are doing observers while The opening of the new Prassian land- tag, originally set for the 11th of Decem- ber next, has been deferred until the middle of January, the government deeming it unwise to call the deputies together for a session of only nine day Christmas being so near, Herr von Putt- kamer most likely thinks that the depu- ties would be found more in the stores purchasing presents for their dear oncs than in the legislative halls, Besides, the tre saves abont 25,000 thaler by cut- ting of the fall session. The tendency of the imperial government to do away as much as possible with the interference of the reichstag also crops out in the reso- lution for the holding of quinquennial parliaments, offered in Friday's session of that body by the conservatives, orgov- ernmental party. There is, howeyer, not any prospect of its adoption by the pres- ent reichstag, as neither the national lib erals or the elerieals nre likely to submit to the contemplated change. During the coming week interesting and exciting debates are to be expected, when the in- terp ion of the Polish members in re- rd to the expulsions from castern Prussia comes up for an explanation by the government, "The reception accorded by the city and dukedom of Brunswick to the new regent, Prince Albrecht, of Prussin, has heen all that could be desived.

Lincolu Journal: Nebraska is probably the only state in the union that cast a heavier vote at the late election than it did n year ago at the presidential eloc tion. Auother distinction is that though not over five-sixths of the vote was out, owing to the fact that the clections wer chiefly of local ofticers, the state oflicers who were elected received almost pre- eisely the same majorities given to Blaine last year, when the Clevelaud and Butler forces were united on a common clec | ticket. The result indicates that at st one hundred thousand people hay: arrived the stato singe lust fall, and that the proportion of straight republi- cans is greater among the new arrival: than among the old settlers.

A commission of the French war and marine department was appointed to investi- gate the merits of the invention and a trial was held in the hark ot Brest. Thetor- pedo, which is something on the model of the Lay invention-a cigar-shaped iron cylin der floating in the water and directed by elec tricity fiom the banks—astonished all pres ent by the ease with which it could be sent towards any desired objeet, and (he perfec- tion of the mechanism, which enabled it by a touch of a button to blow up the largest man-of-war, was equally a matterof surprise. The French commission, however, found one fault, and that was the rate of speed. "Thie torpedo showed a speed of sisteen miles an hour, while in order to be used inst modern eruisers a rate of eighteen miles was demanded. Patrick was informed that if the torpedo eould be brought up to a speed of cighteen miles an hour he would have no diffi. enlty in disposing of it to the Freneh govern ment, as it was superior fo any invention ever presented for their inspeetion. Encour- aged by this trial, Patvick returned at once to the United States and has sinee hee work to secure the desived result, A few months ago lie achieved success, #*s “About that time he was introduced to Lew Wallace, who had returned from Constanti- ple, having been supplanted by Sunset Cox as minister to the sublime port, The torpedo projeet was laid before Gen. Wallace, who smptly gave a strong expression of opin- s to its merits and agreed to lay the mat- ¢ before the swltan, Upon advising the sultan of the invention, Gen. Wallace re- ceived a letter from the Turkish minister of Washington had been ordered to make a vigid investization and report the result. Three trials of the torpedo were aceordingly lield, and if fulfilled every requirement. The Tarkish minister at- Washington at once ad- vised his government of the wonderful ¢ ficiency of the invention, and did not hesitate torecommend its adoption for the defense of the harbor of Constantinople. Gen. Wallaco is now in Constantinople to push the sale of the right to the use of this new engine of warfare. The sccret has so far becen care- fully guarded, and but few people in Omaha to-day know anything about it. To them no doubt it will be a piece of new. Some Railroad Talk, “The Chl Northwestern rallroad lias pushed its suvey of the Jine through Ne- braska to the Wyoming boundary,” said a railroad contractor now engaged on the road, “und by June of next year trains will be ranning to the Wyoming coal fields.
