The announcement ot tho death of General Hancock was a painful shock to the country. No intimation of his illness had reached the public through the columns of the press. On the con- trary it is searcely a week since his ar- rival at Washington on a flying trip from his command was noted, and comments passed upon the ease with which he bore the weight of his sixty-two years. The suddenness of the fatal attack which de- prives the army of one of its most bril- liant ornaments, and the country of a gallant, honored and beloved soldier will add to the generai regret at his loss. General Hancock was o 1- dier by training and profession, Gradu- ating from West Point on the eve of the Mexican war, he gerved with great gallantry in the hottest engage- ments of that conflict. Transferred to a stafl’ position at the outbreak of the war of the rebellion, he applied for active duty in the ficld, and rose by meritorious services to the command of the 2d corps of the Army of the Potomac. His bravery and military judgment pushed him rapidly to the front, while his con- tinned successes ns a corps commande made him the ideal of his men. ne Hancock did distinguished military se vice in every important engagement in which the Army of the Potomac took part. At Centerville, Whi Ouks, Frodericksburg, Chancellorville, Antictam, and a score of minor battles, his gallantry made him a conspicuous figure. He shared with Meade and Howard the honors of Gettysburg, com- manding the left centre in the final charge which won the day, and falling severely wounded at its elo: For his valuable services on this occasion he was honored by the thanks of congress. General Hancock's triumphal tour north, where he was sent to stimulate recruiting, is o matter of history. His immense popularity and personal influence assisted greatly in securing the needed levies to supply the gaps made in the ranks of his army. Returning to his command b added new laurcls to his fame in the Wilderness eampaign, and in the famous arge of his corps which carried the day »ottsylvania Court House. Although suflering greatly from his wound, General Hancock took part in the campaign be- fore Petersburg. Subsequent to the close of the rebellion he served on the frontier, being transferred in 1872 to the command of the division of the Atlantic, in which le died. General Hancock enjoyed the distine- tion of being the most prominent and successful demoerat among the union generals. His unquestioned loyalty, bril- liant record, magnificent presence and great popularity made his name early mentioned as a candidate for the highest gift in the hands of his party. He w; prominently canvassed as a candidate for the presidency in 1868 and in 1872, and in 1869 was tendered and de- clined the democratic nomination for governor of Pennsylvania. In 1880 he received and accepted the nomination for the presidency but was deteated in the ensuing canvass by James A. Gar- field. General Hancock enjoyed the dis- inction of coming out of the campaign unscathed by the fire of partisan eriti- cter stood and his popularity was scarcely weakened. Two years only of active of- 1 service remained at the time of his h before he would have retired to private life, In his death the country looses one of its most brilliant and honored soldiers and the army a historic figure whose name will forever be associated with those of the most renowned defc national unity in the grandest civ of modern times, Selfish Obstructions. 1t is a singular fact that the principal opposition to Senator Manderson’s bill to increase the efliciency of the army comes from ofticers of other branches of the service than that to be affected by its ms. The columns of the army ors are filled with eriticism of the re, the solid objection in mearly stance being that th and enginecrs will not secure t from its provisions while pro- motions in the infantry branch will be greatly hastened by its operation. Dis patehes from Washington bring reports that a strong army lobby is by to prevent the passage of the bill in its present form and to force a compromise which will divide the new majorities and captaineics among the other branches of the service. Such obstruction is unworthy of officers and gentlemen. The Manderson bill was not drafted and is not being urged to pro- vide promotion in the line. That will be a natural consequence of the change to a three battalion organization, but it is not the essence of the measure. The reform 15 needed to place theinfantry arm of the servico an a more solid footing of ad- vanced tactical formation and to har- monize the organization of the army as a whole, To make the change twenty-five additional majors and tifty captains will be requisite, and these Mr. Manderson's bill provides shall bo chosen from the infantry, No branch of tho service has seen such slow promotion sinee the close of the war. The captains and lieuten- ants who head the infantry list in the army register have sorved more than twenty yeurs in thoso grades. They haye seen yoar aftor year brother officers in other arms of the service pass over their heads in the line of promotion. The Manderson bill only places the infantry nization the same b on as the cavalry and artillery. It is the height of selfishness in officers of these arms to threaten obstruction to the measire hecause they are not to share in its benefit ince the elose of the war and the n of the army it has been mplaint of the serviee that en impossible to procure proper army legislation from congress for the reform of existing abuses and the inaugu- ration of needed changes. As a matter of fact the chief obstruction fo proposed le ation has come in every instance from the service itself. An insane jeal- ousy which prefers to see a hund red ofti- s suffer rather than to find themselves outranked has been responsible for most of the obstruetions placed by officers in the army in the path of remedial legislation. . Che compulsory re bull hung fire for years begause th opposed any. messure which would cut down their years of service on full pay. The Harmer bill to facilitate promotions might possibly bave received favorable consideration, but it was hardly drafted = THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. WE NESDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1886, before it was assailed by the older officers in the service. Senator Manderson's bill {s aceeptable to those who do not allow personal considerations to override their sense of justice, because it will place the United States infantry on a basis ap- proved by all the leading military author- ities of the age, because the organiza tion vroposed conforms to the requirements of modern tactics, and becanse an inci- dental result of the change will be a mer- ited promotion to many of the oldest vet- erans in the service. It the cavalry, ar- tillery and engincers are wise they will refrain from meddlesome terference and selfish obstruction in the matter. The London Riots. The rioting of Monday in London scems from all accounts furnished to have surpassed in the number of those engaged any similar disturbance of the century in England’s metropolis. The singular feature of the affair is that no lives are reported lost. The police carly saw that armed resistance to a mob of nearly fifty thousand excited men would be worse thanuseless. As a consequence the business heart of the city was turned over to their undisputed control. For three hours houses were wrecked, hotels sacked and stores pillaged. The fearful cry of ‘*bread or blood” rang through the strects of the most fashionable quarter of London. From the reports furnished by the eable it is evident that the outbreak was not premeditated. A gathering of laborers out of work met at Trafalgar square ten thousand strong. Its object was o sccure parliamentary legislation for the assist- ance of the unemployed. The conflict with the police was precipitated by the use of the pedestal of the Nelson monu- ment as a platform, by a defeated social- ist candidate for inment named Burns. The attempt of the police to move him from his station was the sig- nal for the outbreak which ruled London with a reign of terror from five o'clock in the afternoon until midnight. The London riots will prove a costly ing to parliament that prompt mensures must be taken by the govern- ment to relieve the prevailing distress in England aswell as in Ircland. The sta- tistics collected by the commission ap- pointed by Lord Salisbury show that there ave at least a half a million labor- ers and mechanics without means of sup- port in the United Kingdom. In the country among the agricultural laborers the want and distress is almost as great as in the large manufacturing centers like Sheffield, Birmingham, Mariche London. The situation calls for leg interference which parliament can scarcely refuse. Agricultural and indus. trial England alike demand relief. the first, the division of the gr estates into smaller farms with provi- sions making real estate transfers more easy and the abolition of the laws of entail are asked by the ical leaders, For the second the inauguration of public improvements, which will furnish employment to labor, is demanded. Mr. Gladstone, in advance of taking office, has already pledged himself to large measures of relief for the agricultural laborers and tarmers, and the troubles ot Monday will undoubtedly have their effoct in hastening the passage of bills for the beginning of public works to give employment to the unemployed in the great cities. Back of the profes- sionul agilators and roustabouts who doubtless instigated the disturbances in Trafalgar square was the genuine deep- seated grievances of the honest and law- abiding workingmen of England. To these a liberal government cannot turn a deaf ear. Tue building season will soon open, and the city council should no longer de- lay the passage of a building inspection ordinance, providing not only for proper inspection, but the issuance of permits and the recording of useful statistics, such as the names of owners, location and cost. If these statistics are recorded it will be an casy matter at the end of the year to ascertain how many buildings have been erected and how much has been spent in such improvements, For years this important information has been gathered by the Bee at consider- able expense and trouble. It seems to us that the secretary of the bourd of trade should interest himsclf in this matter and urge upon the city council the import of passing a_building inspection _ord ance. It will assist him in gatheri tistics tor the annual report of th of tride, to which body tne public g crally looks for all sucl information. A MOVEMENT is on foot among the saloon men to have the midnight closing ordinance repealed. The saloon keepers are making a mistake. They ought to be satisfied with doing business twenty hours a day. Some of them never seem to know when they are well off. They bet- ter let well enough alone, and not stir up any more agitation on the liquor ques- tion. They will only do themselves injury, and they will have no one to blame but themselves.

A Ohange in Drinks Brought About by Ellen Terry and General Schenck. New York Times: Milkmen ought to make Ellen Terry, the actress, their_pat- ron saint. She has certainly set a fash- ion among young Indics which_has bene- fitted them very materially. When sho first came here she broughi with her her habit of drinking three or four glasses of milk at each meal. It is a habit she is said to have followed for years, When the young ladies about town heard that Ellen drank milk they followed suit, for she was then the rage. What was begun as a freak of fashion has been confined, because the women haye grown to like milk. It is also a fashionable medicine just now, and a medicine that has proy d very effectual in the treatment of persons suffering from nervousness. This 1s because it is an excellent nerve tonie and blood erea. jor. Particular attention scemed to be directed to this fact thronghout the coun- try at large at about the time of Miss Terry's arrival here, and so milk has had 1 boom ever gino. Gen. Schenek also called publie attention to the lacteal fluid by his use of large quantitics of it for Kkidney troubles. There is hardly a street in town de- voted to trade that hasn’t somewhere ¢ store with tie lilk by t Glass.” There are a half dozen places on Broadway, between Union Square and that display such a sign, and all of them are \\'n'h wronized.

Though the republican party will bring forth upwards of fifteen candidates, from Whittaker Joyne down to George Adams and Robert Glenn, vet Mr witzer, who at present oceupies the position of regis- ter in the land office at this point, seoms to be the favored one. All the others claim to be Van Wyck men but little con- fidenc in their professions. Switzor i positively a Van Wyck man, and would vote for him “first, "last and all the time.” Swilzer's term of oftice next year, and it is possible that a pretty sure thing of being presentative, he will resign an poll for that.

But Perry didn't show any inclination that way, and kepu vory quict, excopt down at the capitol, ere he has always been very chipper.
