Tiis kind of weather, with the mereury icating 20 degrees below zevo, ought ody thinkof the destitute 1ssistance to them by pur- Tue gold fare, continue to s a part of their war- wmounce through the ted press big shipments of gold to | Europe. These shipments may be actu- ally made, but there is nothing to prevent them from flowing back into this countey by the next steamer Mr. KeiLey seems to have struck his gaitat last. He recently delivered an ad- dress in Boston on the wrongs of Ircland, and the Globe says that “he easily takes rank as one of the most winning and eloquent orators ever heard” in that city. A DENVER paper that some ¢ talists ave thinking of building a p: ing house in that city. As the l-upil;\llsls are said to hail from Cincinnati, the in- ferenceis that it is to be a pork packing house. Ifthatisthe case we should say that Colorado will have to import her _hogs from Nebr to keep it running. Tuk speculators who cornered the trade dollars are in hopes that congress will come to their belicf, but it is doubt- ful if anything will be done this season towards the redemption of the coin. The investment in trade dollars has proved a losing game. If redeemed to- Wb par the holders would just about come out eyen, without realizing a cent of ‘interest on their toue years’ investment. TrE drumme; by quite * tax, which is imposed umber of towns and cities, particularly in the south, long been an annoyance to the traveling salesmen and their employers. Relief, however, seems to have arvived at last in the shape of a recent United States supreme court decision—in a case originating in Michi ,gan—to the effect that any state or terri- tory imposing a tax or license fel cominercial travelers from another state or territory is unconstitutional. The national board of trade, now assembled at Washington, has taken the matter in hand and has called upon congress to en- nct a law to preserve the rights contem- plated by the constitution among the cit- izens of the several states and territories. Such a law will, in all probability, be passed. Tue report of the New Jersey state fao- tory inspector shows that in eight thousand manufacturing establishments nearly fifteen thousand children are employed and that they are growing up in ignor- ance of everything but the toil to which ~ they arc enslaved. Not only are they de- - prived of education, but their health i undermined in the bad sanitary condition of the crowded factories. The New Jersey law prohibiting the employment of chil- dren of tender years in factories is evi- dently u dead letter. While the manu- facturing corporations are largely to blame for this condition of affairs, the parents themsclyesshould be held equally responsible. 'll\o ate officials, however, are the real parties at fault for the non- entorcement of this wholesome law. Auprror Browns, of Iowa, who was ousted by Governor Sherman, bobs up serencly once more. He will be reinstat- ed by Governor Larabee. This action will be approved by the majority of the people of Towa, but will be wormwood to the insurance 1ing through whose machi- nations Mr. Brown was forcibly expelled from his office. In commenting upon the reinstatement the Des Moines Leader, the democratic organ, says: “Thus the monke--and-parrot show at the state uso is to go out of business. Larrabee restoring the deposed Brown of course nds the regeney for the present, but " he will placate them later by giving the dnsurance commissionership to either - Sherman or Cattell. his will keep Brown's claws off the insurance com- . panies, and everything will be lovely. ut Lareabee has other troubles ahead, eompared to which the Brown-Sherman aflair is o child’s quarrel, CoNGRESSMAN BLounT has introduced # bill to provide a benefit fund for rail- 1 and postal clerks. This sick »and benefit fund, as it is called, is to be up by deducting fifty cents a month the salaries of the clerks. This is a rly bill, to say the least, and it is hoped that it will not pass. The railway ks ave u hard working class, and their salurios are not by any means large Aauough to stand a deduction of even fifty mntl. 11 a benetit fund is to be provided Jin that way, the proper thing for con- ! { to do is to increase the salaries fifty _cents, and then retain that amount for fund, But the most appropriate ure would be o bill insur- the retention of railway elerks n the service pbysieal ability and good be- or, and providing a pension for em- disabled by accidents happening g the performance of their duties, jon should also be made for a re- to draw a swall ‘pension. trouble with the railway mail service that, notwithstanding the civil service W, the clerks feel insecurc in their po- oms with a change of adiniuistration, feeling of uncortminty would be dif such a bLill as we have sy, were passed, and it would secure satisfactory service in the handling ! of the mails. , TRIBUNE BUTLDING | | part of the | alth Civil Service and Ind Agents. The Indian Rights association, of Phil- ined to the belief that the o8 boing dealt with as a spoils of partisan politics, and that agents who have shown thiem- selves competent and faithful in a supe- rior degree, like Dr. MeGillicuddy at the Pine Ridge agency, are soon to be turned ont of office to make way for democrats. Mr. Atkins, the Indian commissioner, as- sures the *association, however, that ngh he is a steaight-out democrat he in making appointments for merit, and noton account of pactisan- ship, but intimated that the appoint ment of republicans wonld joc him to severe criticism, as it already has done in one or two instances, The in- ference is that Commissioner Atkins will, owing to partisan p re, make his ap- pointments from th seeking e ment of the democracy without o much regard to the fitness of the apy its as to their alleged politieal influence and i This is what the Indian Rights sation is endeavoring to prevent, 1l it is to be hoped that it will sucee The present’ system of appointments is radically wrong because it puts into power men who as a rule are simply o and plunder, and are sted inthe welfave of the 1d who have had no experienc whatever with the Indians. The associs tion proposes, if possible, to have the ap plicants for the positions of Indian agents subjected to eivil service examination, and have their fitness certified to before they can be appointed. This is cmi- nently proper, for if there is any branch of the government service that should be performed by men well quahified for the work in every respeet it is supervision of the Indians. President Cleveland has recommended to congress the appoint- ment of an Indian commission, and he las expressed to the committee of the Indian Rights association the hope that in that event the character of the Indian might be greatly im- beiieves A Schea th Senator Van Wyck to prevent the demone ican coin by declaring void and of no of- fectany promissory note, check, draft, bill of exchange, contract or agreement for the payment of money, which stipy that the payment thercof shall be made in'gold coin alone. Any violation of the bill is made a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than $100 nor inore than the full amount mentioned in any such paper. This is a timely bill; and while it will have a salutary effect upon monetary transactions generally, it is more especially intended for the benefit and relief of western farmers who, by au ingenious scheme, are to be used by the eastern money lenders and gold-bugs as instruments of warfare upon silver. The mon s of the east are instructing their western agents 1o muke all loans payable in gold, and al- ready numerous loans have been made upon a gold basis. - This scheme will be nipped in the bud if congress does its duty in passing Senator Van Wyck's bill, Of course this bill will bring the gold and silver question to an issue, and a lively fight may be expected, but no mat- ter what the merits of the coinago prob- lem may be, Senator Vi should be immediately p Gold Bugs introduced Tuk report of senate committe Cleveland Leader as “a sensible report.” The report is all right, but the recom- mendation that a national railway com- mission be appointed 15 all wrong.

That’s the kind of a machine that is wanted in Omaha just now is Other Lands Than Ours. The principal event of the week in England was the opening o For the first time in many years the queen delivered the opening address in person. The last time that her majesty thus appeared in her place at Westmin- ster was ducing the Beaconsfield admin- istration, when her tavorite minister was in the full tide of his glittering popu- larity. Never, since the death of Albert, has she graced the opening of parlia- ment with her i liberal minis was in power. sympathies are notoriously with conservatives and her hostility for their opponents. Gladstone she noto- riously hates with a determined political hatred, and it is evident now that the s of court favor arve intended to shine lisbury and his cabinet with the purpose of adding the queen’s personal popularily with the people as a make- weight in the seale which she hopes to see the tories bear down. The result can not be dqubtful, and the eflort will only add another to the slready sufficiently convincing reasons for the belief that royalty has ceased to be a power in Eng- nish politics, % The queen in her specoh review ed tho relutions with the foreign powers, and dwelt at some length upon the foreign policy. The Afghanistan boundary quos- tion, which at one timé threatened a seri- ous rupture with Russia, has been satis- factorily ndjusted, and she expressed the hope that the Russo-English frontier de- marcation would, when fixed by the com- mission, secure permanent peace in Cen- tral Asin. Regret was expressed that it had been necessary to declare war against King Theebaw, of Burmah, whose kingdom she had thought it advisable to incorporate with “‘her em- pire” as the wmost certain method of insuring peace. 'he Irish question occupied considerabie of her majesty’s attention. She stated that mensures for the reform of the connty government of Ireland aud for other velief were in pre- ation, but the Irish people will fail to tind auy words of comfort or any assur- anees in the quecn’s speech that their a Her the condition is to be materially bettered or that their burdens are to be lightened by anything that she can do or saggest. | Parliament, however, will be forced to take action upon tae Trish question, in response to the recent agitation and re- sults of the election. Parnell and his followers have become 1too power- ful to longer be ignored. The hope of the Irish people in Parnell, but we believe that the betterment of Ire- land's condition will be delayed as long as possible by dilatory tacties so com- mon in parliamentory ice when it is the degire to evade an issne. . While it is the Irish home rale question upen which Lord S fate depends, much more than Ireland's future will be changed, for better or worse, by the fall of he tory ehief. The life of all the pres- ent miistry hangs by a single thread, If M. Parnell concludes that the tories ar of no use to the home rule cause, hie can drive them from oftice before a Wi is pussed, This unnatural overshadowing of many questions by one affords one of | ypeal to the | the ma rguments which English popular mind in favor of grant- ing the Irish demands. XS The foreign policies of Mr. Gladstone and the present prime minister ave radi- cally different, and matters of importance in England’s foreign relations will soon | be pressing for a settlement. A dispateh from Mery says that on December 25 the British oflicers on duty with the boun- dary commission north of Herat invited the Russian staft to a Christmas dinner. Snow covered the plains near Maru- chak, and surveying was® sus pended for the time. The holiday fe tivities on the 25th and for several days following were greatly enjoyed by both sides. This I llnnl illustrates one phase of the (‘uu(ml Asian situation. But theresis another s and one not so peaceful in kind. rd Salisbury can once feel sure of retaining his hoid on office, he will be sure to urge forward the costly task of fortifying the Indian boundary, and he may begin building railways into the heart of Afghanistan, and strive to regain the foothold which he wishes England to have at Kandahar and Kabul. *" From Cairo word comes that Sir H Drummond Wolff, the British commis- sioner appointed to confer with Mukhtar Pashy, is very anxious to come to an agreement with the latter as to the im- mediate future of the Soudan, but that the Turkish commissioner is coy and avoiding interviews on the plea of illness. Were the Egyptians, Turks and Soudan- ese certain that Lord Salisbury will retain power, they would undoubt- edly assume a different atti- tude towards Great Britain from that which they might hold in nego- tiating or fighting with Mr. Gladstone’s . For the present, consequently, wait to see what isimpending. The Marquis of Sulisbury is known to be in- different as to the length of time during which England holds Egypt, and he supposed to favor an e Khartoum for the purpose of reducing the Soudanese to peace. Mr. Gladstone, on the contrary, believes in a speedy evacuation of Egypt, and a policy of le defence inst the fanatical 'mics of the upper Nile, » B It is possible that if Lord Salisbury were sceure of a working majority he might be found taking aa age of the par of Pa and the impression made in the east by the bloodless con- quest of Burmah t ime a protectorate overSiam. Mr. Gladstone would be quite certain to do nothing of the kind. There are other foreign matters of less promi- nence which will be seriously affected in one way or another if the tory ministry goes out ot office. It 1s possible that the current of events in the Balkan states might be abruptly changed if Mr. Glad- stone, the friend of Greece, returned to powe W M. de Freycinet no doubt had in - mind the inglorious Tonquin campaign when he declared to the chamber of deputies that the colonial policy of the new cab- inet would be less adventurous than that of its recent predecessor. “It is nec " said he, *“to restore good order in tration to hold the clergy to a tion of their duties, to resto a financial equilibrinm, to stop exped tions to distant countries, fo vote no fresh loan, and to adopt no measures creating new taxes.” The Tonquin prot ate he said, would be organized on a simple and economical basis. In conclusion he appealed to all friends of the republic for unity and co-operation in the efforts of the cabinet to govern the country by the policy he announced. The government hopes to equalize the budget by rigid economies in the various departments. The war and marine offices are 1o be required to make the greatest sacrifices short of reducing the efliciency of the country’s defenses, The colonies that have been recently acquired will be retained, and it is hoped that they will soon be able to pay their own ex- penses, when the direction of their affairs would be retransferred to the colonial oftice. o The action of the Prussian government in regurd to the Poles is still exciting a great deal of indignation among the Ger- man people. Not asingle member of the government, however, has had the decency to listen to the eloguent appeals of the champions of the persecuted Poles. Yet the question is burning enough and interesting cnough in all conscience. Forty thousand Poles haye already been expelled from Prussla, and Russia is retalinting by still more wholesale expulsions Herr von Jazdzevski, amid ringing cheers declared the day wounld come when honest Ger- mans would look back at this cruel perse- cution of innocent aliens with shame and reprobation. Dr. Moller declared the ex- pulsions as “unworthy of an age of inter- national tunnels ead telegrapvhs,” and Herr Windthorst denounced them,*but the discussion led to nothing beyond the adoption of the resolution introduced by Herr Windthorst declaring that the ex- pulsion of Poles from Prussian territory was unjustifiable and incompatible with the interests of German subjects. The conservatives and national liberals op- ,maad the resolution. None of the min- sters were present when it was adopted. " Moukhtar Pasha, the Turkish commis- sioner in Egypt, has been sick at Cairo. His illness was supposed to be *‘political | illness to gaia time and to afford an ex- cuse for not taking part in any delibera- the British commi ner, respecting a settlement of the Egyptian difficalty. There is no doubt affyirs have assumed a sorious state owing to. Tarkish intrigue, as Gen, Stephenson, cotamander of the British troops in Egypt, who recently as- sumed offensive operations at the front against the rebels, ‘has suddenly re- tured © to Cairo and to hold a consultation with the British officials there. The latest adyjces ave to the effect Moukhtar Pasha has proposed that the Turko-Egyptian army be reorganized for the defense of Egypt in place of the English army now in that country. Sir Henry Drammond Wolft' has applied to his government for advice tions with Sir Tenry Drumntond Wolm] ** ment cabled from Munich it the King .of Ba contemplat extrication from his finaneial bv a marriage with the Baron- is pro canard, 1f such a mateh were m however, the puir would be well mated, The baroness is only inferior in the quality and quan- tity of her imbecility to the king him- self. She is the daughter of a country apothecary =~ and the widow of a man who began life as a hand in a Nuremburg factory and died the Vanderbilt of Bavaria. Her extravagances are the amazement and the scoff of Munich. She has never been able to force or buy her way into soci- ety, but keeps up a tremendou ate of herown. She employs a poet-lnureate and is fond of acting in private, to an audience of herself in the mirror, the pet parts of her favorite dramas and poems. Big fool as she is; however, she is hardly goose enough to marry even the king, whose title she could nevesr bear, and whose extravagances wonld absorb even her immense fortune (from the Bavarian standpoint) almost before the honeymoon was over. y Rev. DEWrrr Tanvace does not place any too high éstimate on men who are perfect. He had two financial transac- tions with fwo verfect men and they were so perfeet in their dealings that they got the best of him nost shamefully. He an ntipathy to |iufm'l men, and his advice to young ladies is eminently correct: “Tf you finda ‘man who has never made any mistakes, who is perfoct, who 1s immaculate, don’t marry him. It would be a.swindle for you to do it. Why you would unite. yourself to per: fection, and you are not fit to be married to an angel. - There are no perfect men."” A COMPARISON of the banking capital of the two cities shows that'‘Omaha has two dollars to Denver’s one.
