If Dr. Miller's prescription was strictly administered by the police court, there would only be five “honest councilmen left" to brand Cummings as an outlaw. Tae demand for hot stoves in the Omaha street cars has been loud and lusty, but upon second sober thought we have come to the conclusion that a stove in a street car is simply a village custom. If the street cars should be heated by stewm pipes it would be all right, but a stove takes up too much room in a city street car which is liable to be crowded during the greater portion of the day. ‘We would again suggest that the street oar company furnish the passengers either with hot bricks and flat-irons, or hot whisky punches, ——— Tue difterence in the bids for the via- duot turns out, as intimated, to be due to the differonce n the churacter of the structure proposed.

H. Zukertort, of London, and Willinm Steinitz, of New York. Both players have a world-wide reputation. Zukertort is a Russian by irth and Steinitz is an Austrian. They e considered the strongest players liv- ing and the ablest since the death of il Murphy. They are also evenly matehed, their mectings on previous oceasions b ing with varying results, Steinitz wi first in the London tournament of 18 and Zukertort third, and in another match the sume year Steinitz won seven games and his antagonist one, while four were drawn. Zukertort won one gnme from Steinitz in the Vienna tournament of 1832 and one was drawn, and at the London tournament the follow- mg year Zukertort was first and the Aus- trian sccond. Steinitz - won sixteen games in suceession at the Vienna tourna- ment of 1873, the greatest run on record, The men will play ot New York till one has won four games, when they will ad- journ to St. Louis and finish the maftch at New Orleans, They use the board on which Morphy played his muteh games of | 1857 and 1858, and their stake is 1,000 and the championship of the world. T. V. PowDERLY, general master work- man of the Knights of Labor, in predict- ing better times within the next twelve months, and a better understanding be- tween laborers und manufacturers, took oceasion to say: "I find men who are cranky, obstinate and unreasonable, hoth on the side of the employer and employe, are men who very seldom read the news- pupers. If everyluborer and every man- ufacturer would read daily a good paper and keep posted on the topics of the times, I feel certain there would be less trouble.” This is good advice, and comes from a man who knows what he is talk- ing about, Tug bill introduced by Mr. Millard of New York, to pension railway postal cierks who become disabled in the per- formunce of their duty is a measure which commends itself at once as just and equitable. The no reuson why an employe of the railway mail servico disabled while on government duty should not be placed on an equality with a soldier so favas pensions are concerned. Mp. Millard's bill is drafted for the benefit of one of the hardest working classes of employes in the civil service whose duties are performed amid special dangers of accidents, Tue Herald denies that it has “inti- mated” that Mr. Clark stands ready to build the Omaha & Northern, but drops a hint that he is the man for the job, Very good. any move of Mr, Clark in this direction, We want more railroad facilities and shall not be particular who affords them, provided always the “‘donation” question is kept in the far distant background. Mg. LAvag expresses the opinion thut the Bell telephone patent question should be inve ited by a judicial body, and the proceedings should be conducted in the name of the government. This opin- ion will be generally endorsed by the people. If the patent could be over throvin it would be agreat publie benefit, as the Bell ring is one of the greatest wmonopolies of the age, and its charges are outrageously exorbitant.

The eleventh parliament under the rule of Victorin opened on Tuesday at West minister for the election of a spenker and the swearing in of the members. The chief incident noted in connection with Tuesday's ceremonies was the admission of Bradlangh to his seat, unmolested by the majority which had so often before cjected him. He took the oath without ‘tion, and chose his seat among the radical independents, The Trish dele; tion failed to make their appearance, their intention as announced being to come over ina body for the fivst time at the opening ceremonial on the 10th, when the queen will declare parlimment convened.

And still the fact that the radi; have had their own way in the make-up of the cabinet shows that the distrust of national possessions in forcign parts is more than the whim of & moment, News from the east is not reassuring, though all the great powers are working with pretended zeal to allay the unquict of the smaller states. The attempt of Greece to foment further disturbance has been followed by warnings from England that she has no claims for territorial ex- pansion at the expense of Turkey. The porte has called upon Greece to dishand her army to prevent an outbreak of hos- tilities, and & collective note from the powers has summoned Serviu, Bulgaria and Greece to disarm, promisiug that example. Mean- and the porte have come to an understanding on the follow- ing conditions: That the union of the Bulgarias be recognized by the porte; that the Bulgarian army be at the dis- of Turl in the event of war with Greeee or Servia; that tribute be paid regularly to the porte; that the customs rights of the porte be maintained, and that Prince Alexander go to Constanti- nople to be mmvested with the governor- ship of Enstern Roumelia. w*n Germany is steadily pursuing her policy of colonin]l aggrandizement. The last acquisition is that of the Samoan islands on the Pacifie, whose seizure was reported rly in the week. Bismarck’s colonial policy differssradically from that of the other European countries in that it does not set uy administration like that of gland m Burmah or France in Ton- quin, which opens up a multitude of oflic for sinecures and consumes the revenue. The German officeseeker will not be any happier because of the . open- ing up of new colonies.
