As General Reagan comes from a country where military tities are as frequent as “‘the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la-la,” this re- mark reads like a vicious, back-handed ileg southern gentry. TrAT the mad dog craze 15 accomplish- ing some good is shown by the fact that the Newark, N. J., authorities, to gratify the people who are crazy on the subject of hydrophobia, are drowning dogs at the rate of 100 a day. Ten thousand worthless Omaha curs could be drowned in the Missouri, and they never would be missed. Itis hoped that the mad-dog oraze will strike this city if for no other purpose than to cause the whol esale de- struction of canines.

Nebrask: railroad boom for 188 promiscs to eclipse everything since the race for supremacy between the Union Pacific and its competitors for the right of way west of the hundredth meridian. The Burlington takes the lead in plant. ing railroad tracks over the Nebraska i ranches and ex- tensions of its system in N A aggre- gating 207 miles have already been let, The most important of these are the Grand Island extension into the northwest and the short line between Omaha and Lincoln by way of Ashland. The Chicago & rthwestern, which is alread within ninety miles of the Wyoming line, has let the contract for a hundred miles of extension in the northwest, and is retaliating agamst the Burlington's in- vasion of its territory by extending branches into the south Platte country, The Union Pacific is forced in self de- fense to art from its short sighted policy of abandoning the rich and grow- ing region near at home for the sage brush and alkali deserts in the territories. Its m made heavy pur- chases of material which indicate that it will not be a silent spectator of the occupation of its Ne braska territory by its rivals, Last, but not least, the Missouri Pacific is quictly getting ready for invading north- eastern Nebraska with a possible branch up the Elkhorn. It looks now as if the iilrond boom of 1886 would gridiron Nebraska with more railronds to the pop- tion than Indiana or Ohio can boast of. Six hundred miles of railroad will cer- tainly be built in Nebraska this year and the footing may reach a thousand. This means g ulation of a good deal of money in this state during the present year among our people. It is safe to say that every mile of road built will cause an expenditure of not less than $5,000 for labor, or fully $3,000,000, not counting the money paid for right of way, sta- tions, ete. The outlook for a prosperous year almost assured from the extent of the ailroad boom alone. No Half-Way Work. The council has decided to build the Sixteenth street viaduet and made pro- visions by ordinance under which that structure will probably be erected during the present year. This action settles per manently the future of that street. It its importance as next to Farnam avenue for retail business in the y. As soon as the viaduct is complet- ed it will be the great thoroughfare north and south mto and through the city from the country and the shortest road to the rds and South Omaha. For more than half its length it is already lined with mercantile hou: Its grade for the most part is completed. Less work remains to be done on it than on any of onr other thoroughfares in order to com- plete its public improvements. The council should at once take steps to make such a change in the grade of Sixteenth steeet as will render that por- tion between Howard street and the point where the viaduet is to begin ilable for business purposes, The present g as established makes a cut of ten feet at Harney and practically levels the street from nam to Howard. From Howard to a point beyond Jackson there is a deep hollow which it is not proposed to level. This is a serious mistake. It should be so changed as to make the rise gradual and easy from Howard to the ridge. To do thisit will be necessary to still further decpen the cut at Jones street and fill Jackson street. The city engineer should not be hampered by any individual influ- ences of property owners who objectto a radical change in grade. The trouble in Omaha herctofore has been that grades have been established more to satisfy in- dividual wants than the future nterests of the city. Farnam street is a fair sam- ple. The engincer desired to begin the cut at Fiftcenth street and rise gradually. Influence was brought to bear to have the cut begun at Sixteenth street in: and the result is that the street is what it should be. If the grade of Far- nam street had been properly established at the outset, both the individual property owners and the city at large would now be better satisfied than they are to-d So far us the change in the grade of Six- teenth street is concerned, we und and that the property owners affected are pre- pared to waive damages, The only cost to the city is likely to be the increased fill at Jackson. When the improvement is completed Omaha will have a great north and south thoroughfare, practically level, and available for business throughout the entire length, Itis time that halfway measures in making needed public improvements should stop. The policy of the city in the past, where radical changes of grade were concerned, has beea to cut the dog's tail off by inches. 1t is a mistaken policy, and a costly one. In the long runm it is more expensive to all concerned than a prompt and effectual treatment of the problem from the start. Wuerner Mr. Tilden's letter to Speaker Carlisle influenced the secretary of war or not, Secretary Endicott’s communica- tion to the senate on the subject of wp- propriations for const defenses is “staggerer’” in its wide reaching pl for protecting our seaboard from foreign attack, It recommends the expenditure of §127,000,000 on forts, batteries, guns and torpedo service, The list of places which the board decides to be in the most immediate need of fortifications or other defenses are eleven m number, to wit: New York, San Francisco, Boston, the lake ports, Hampton Roads, New Orleans, Philadelpl Washington, Baltimore, Portland, Maine, and the Rhode Island ports in Narraganset bay. New York, the bo lirms, must be fortified at both entrances in the most thorough manner with turrets, armoured barbette batteries and mor teries. Sub-marine mines sho-is 8- Sl torm a part of the system. Eighteen torpedo boats are recommended for harbor ser- vice, and the armament proposed in- cludes eighteen 110-ton guns of 16-inch calibre, two 80-ton guns of 14-inch, forty 50-ton guns of 12-inch, twenty 27-ton guns of 10-inch, and fifteen 13-ton guns of 8- inch calibre—all breech-loading rifles. In addition to these, 144 12-inch rifled mortars are recommended, The amount seems enormous, but it will be spread if appropriated, over & number of As matters now are the United no sea-coast defenses, and the money recommended would be expended in building the system from the X)uuum up.

A law containing this provision in regard to the lines not subsidized would checkmate the move of the Tacific railroad companies to evade their obligations to the government and veople of the United 1t is almost too much to hope that from the power of monopoly to pass stch a law.—Philadelphia Record. The Record is mistaken if it imagines that Mr. Hoar’s Pacific railvoad bill is an anti-monopoly measure, It was drafted in the interest of the roads, supervised by their attorneys and will be supported by the entire lobby at Washington. Its aim is to legalize all the robberies of the past twenty years which have wrecked these great corporate trusts and squandered the millions of the nation's bounty. By its passage the robberies of the Credit Mobelier gang, the frauds of the Dillon regime and the bold-faced robberies of the Gould period would be legalized. The government is now about to make public its investigations into the condi- tion of the books of the company art- ling disclosures may be expeeted and suits for recovery will probably be insti- tuted against the disreputable gang of cormorants who fed for years upon the funds wrung by extortion from the peo- ple of the west or manutactured in defi- ance of all law by n reckless system of stock watering. Mr. Hoar's bill can very bly be deferred until the I ment of the government makes its report. Tiur vised to restrain its enthusi- asm. Secretary Lamar is a_very much larger man than Mr. Sparks.

The cchoes of the tory defeat are still vinging in England and the cyes of all parties are turned upon Mr. Gladstone, who iz looked upon as the only leader ble of taking the helm of anew min- ry. Lord Hartington has been sug- gested us a possible premie i tion ministry formed of the wl tories at his back. Such a eabinet conld not remain in office a wec influences which defeated Lord Salis- bury's ministry would be operative to overturn its suceessor. It is Gladstone or an appeal to the country with the ex- pensive consequences of anothe election and the doubtful re- sults -~ of a npaign on un- formed issues. It unfortunate in some respects for the tories that they were overthrown onan issne entively foreign to the Irish question. It was not allowed to meet its fate on an appeal to national sentiment for the maintenanc of the union. On the cont the issu shrewdly chosen was that of Mr. Coll- ing’s motion amending the address in r ply to the speech from the throne, v ting that the queen had made no reference to the condition of the agri- cultural laborers and urging a consid of the subject of allotments of land to the laborers. 'To have fallen in opposing motion puts the tories at a serious antage in the next and probubly not distant general election, for the newly enfranchised voters, some 2,000,000 in number, are to a l: ent directly interested in Mr. visionary scheme. The tension, which as yetunrelaxed, ean only be velieved by the formation of a new m istry under liberal auspices and strongly supported by the pledges of Parnell and his following. But even if such a ministry is formed, its. tenure of must necessarily be precarious to crown his career by securing o measure of legisla- ive independence for Ireland depends upon his ability to steer between the Seylla of Wlug opposition and the Charybdis of Parnellite demands. For any policy that shall be accepted by the Parnellites he can probably count upon a working majority. A small defection of whigs will be about balanced by defection of liberal minded tories. can certainly count upon a major fifty or more for any policy which, on thie one hand, does not seem to sur- render too much of the imperial author- ity, and, on the other, does not fall short of that upon which the Irish leaders are determined. As neither Mr. Gladstone himself nor Mr. Parnell, with his follow- ers, has formulated a distinet plan, the situation is wholly undetermined. The key to it restsin the demands which Mr, Parnell is prepared to make and Mr. Gladstone to concede. * Grecce has yielded" to the demands of the six great powers enforced by the threat of a naval demonstration against Athens and announces to the world that she will not at present force hostili urkey. Her claim for territory at the expense of Turkev will therefore rest in abeyance for the present, but it will certainly not be allowed to long sink out of sight. The Greek claim is for the whole ot Epirus, including the port of Avlona, and as far north as Apsos, mak- ing the boundary on the north shore of Lake Ochris and along northern Macedo- nia proper, leaving the remainder of Turkish territory to be HFGEL between Servia and Bulgaria, This territory was distinetly granted to Greece by the freaty of Berlin and by the vote of July 2, 1880, signed by all the powers. It was accepted promptly by the Greek government, But Turkey rejected it, and stubbornly refused to yield except to force. This the powers did not apply, and the result was renewed war pre| - tions by Greece and a fresh conference, held this time at Constantinople A new boundary, enclosing only two-thirds of the former award, was finally agreed upon, accepted by Turkey and unwil- lingly ratified by Greece, whose prime minister said in his note of formal ac ceptance: “Greece believes it to be neither a dignified nor an honorable pro- ceeding on her part toward children on . i’ 5 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE.

The presence of the American minister to the Central Ameriean states in Washington, and his frequent confer- ences with Secretary Bayard, develops the fact that there is trouble brewing with reference to the Nicaragua canal project. Three of the Central Ameriean republics—Gautemala, Honduras, and Sulvador—have coucluded treaties look- ing to uniting the five states into one, and are bringing a pressure to bear upon Costa Rica and Nicaragua to sccure their assent to the scheme. Information from a reliable source shows that the French interested in the Panama canal are at the bottom of this movement. De Lesseps is pretty well convineed that his canal scheme is a fail- ure, and therefore is working to seal up the Nies ua route against the United States, hoping that it will aid him in the future to dispose of his undertaking to some American company formed under the auspices of the United States govern- ment. Sceretary Bayard has been, and still is, opposed to the Nicarag but he is wise enough to perc he allows the French to acquire, d or indirectly, control of that route, the country will hold him and his party to a severe accounting.
