There was a time, however, when L his autograph was considered of great value by the ofice seckers, Tug Bee published a long special from Kearney in its morning and evening edi- i tions of Mond This dispatch was ap- propriated bodily by the Herald of Tues- day and labeled “Special.” That is what the Herald calls enterprise. We call it *brass-mounted audacity.’ Tue New Orleans Picayune maintains that public economy in the government of all cities demands that stealing as well as salaries should be reduced. If the stealing wero stopped, the people would not demand any reduction in salaries, On the contrary, we believe they would favor increased salaries, if such a step would promote honesty. Ax exchange says thatif doctors would attend writing-schools occasionally drug clerks would make fewer mistakes. We would add that if doctors would write their prescriptions in plain English in- stead of hog Latin the drug clerks would ‘be more likely to fill their prescriptions correctly. A dead language for pre- scriptions ought to be buried beyond rosurrcction, oven if it is nocessary to pass a law to that ef A GREAT many people have been at a Joss to know what the filing of articles of incorporation of the Omaha & Southern railrond meant. It means a great deal for Omaha. It means an extension of the Vandaha road to this city. The rep- resentatives of that great road will in the near future present a proposition to this city, which involves not only the exten- sion of the hne from Fort Scott to Omaha, but from Omaha into northern and northweste GERONTMO is still nimbly skipping about Bl abont among the rocks of Sonora, but L ‘when he returns to Arizona he will miss several of his old friends and companions who are now on their way to Florida un- der armed escort tospend the rest of their days scveral thousands of miles away from the scences of their former exploits.

THE defeat of Bland’s silver bill and ¢ the propos ed amendment leavesthe coin- | ago question where it was before the ses- sion opened. The present congr will mot be apt to disturb it again. The country did not permit itself to get L frightened over the horrible predictions | of the single standard shrickers. They | were told that if the coinage law was [ repealed that gold would be driven out . of the country. The fact is the other . way. When the present silver coinage " daw was passed, the stock of gold in this ' country was about $200,000,000. Its Btock to-day is about §600,000,000, & gain of $400,000,000. England and Germany, b where silver has been demonetized, have, @ on the other hand, great difficulty in . koeping their stock of gold at the sta- tionary point. { sport of City Attorney Connell presents some interesting in- mation concerning the city's litiga- tlon. He has during the year reduced ‘%he number of pending suits from 138, L involving claims to the amount of $149,- P27, to 48, tho aggrogate claims of which i 65,817, The ninety suits disposed of, olaims amounting to $98,979, have n settled ot a cost’of only $12,250.

P British Parties and Home Rule. The end of the present weck will prob- ably determine the fate of Mr. Glad- stone's Irish measures. The home rule bill is still under discussion. It will be followed on Friday with the land pur- chase measure, which promises to be still more radical than its predecessor, The situation is a complicated one. Parlia- ment is divided into at least four distinct groups outside of the Irish members, and the attitude of each of these and their ability to unite with each other in oppos- ing the Irish bills must be taken into ac- count when weighing the chances of success or defeat The con- servatives oppose Mr. Gladstone's schemes on grounds of tradition and principle. Separation and dismem- berment are in their opinion one and the same thin, nd the establishment of an Irish parliament means the forging of weapons which ultimately will give Ire- land complete independence. To falter with the question is, they aflirm, merely “moral cowardice.”” The conseryative party is, however, hampered by a lack of effective leadership. Lord Salisbury, its nominal leader, is undoubtedly a man of ability; but he is not popular, and he has not the power of convincing masses of men. Lord Randolph Churchill, who is the animating spirit of the younger men, Iacks diseretion and perhaps sincerity. It is the genc- ral belief that during the recent elec- tions he tried to form an alliance with Parnellites, one condition of which would of course be the granting of home rul but he has since denounced both Mr. Gladstone and the Irish members in the most unsparing terms. His course has therefore been too “‘meteoric’ to com- mand a large permanent following. The second group, the *“moderate lib- erals' or whigs, like the conservatives fear the experiments of home rule. They believe that Ireland should be tisfied with the liberal promises of the present ministry and the era of good feeling which it has intro- duced. They assume that the time has not yet come for wide sweeping men: ures of governmental reform. At the saume timo they have a strong party feel- ing for Mr. Gladstone as the accredited liberal leader, and they naturally hesitate to combin ith his onemies against him. Lord Hartington is recognized as the leader of this faction. He is a man ot aristocratic predilections and moder- ate opinions; one who is never brilliant, but usually esteemed safe. That he has a good deal of influence among the whig nobility and gentry cannot be denied. The third group is composed of the di ted radicals under Chamberlain and Treve It is an uncertain quantity both as toits strength and convictions. So far as can be ascertained from the speeches of jts leaders in opposition to;Mr. Gladstone’s bill its attitude is more the result of antagonism to the forthcoming land purchase bill than to the extension of local government proposed in the home rule measure. dr. Chamberlain is considered tobe a power in Birmingham, and he has long been held the real leader of the radicals. He has long been identi- fied with the politics and the industries of Birmingham. He represents a class that is o growing power in English life generally—the wealthy manufacturers. The conservatives like to reproach Mr. Chamberlain for the introduction of the “‘caucus methods” into English politics. Mr. Trevelyan is a nephew of Lord Macaulay, and, like his uncle, he has made his mark as a writer upon histori cul subjects. He is a man of fine educ tion, and a lawyee by profession. He has held the post of Irish seeretary. The mass of the support for Mr. Gladstone outside of the Parnellites must come from the liberal party remaining after the whig and radical secessions. This includes many distinguished men, and has without question behind it the bulk of liberalism in England. Beside Mr. Glad- stone there aro Lord Roscbery, Mr. John Morley, the new Irish secretary, Earl Spencer, formerly viceroy at Dublin Cas- tle, not to mention Earl Granyille, Sir Willinm Harcourt and other members of the present cabine These men are probably better known to Americans than almost any others, perhaps because of their natural sympathy with the prog- ress of liberalism, Mr. John Morely is more & man of letters than a politician, though he gained a valuable experience in public affairs when editor of the Pall Mall Gazette. Lord Rosebery belongs to the younger aristocracy, so large a part of which is even radical in its opinions, even Lord Randolph Churchill, though nominally a conservative, choosing to pose as the leading spirit of a ‘“‘tory de- moeracy,” whatever that may be. Mr. Labouchere, the accomplished editor of T'ruth, though nominally unattached to any party, is another aristocratic radical, and is at present an earuest supporter of Lome rule. These are the elements out of which Mr. Gladstone, unless he suffers defeat, must carve a parliamentary majority for his lrish measures. When it is considered that the British house of commons con- tains 670 members, of which 836 consti- tute a majority, the difliculty of predict- ing the result can readily be seen. The liberal party has 830 members, and the torics muster in round numbers 250, The Parnellite strength is cight; A y question is, whether the liberal loss will be more than seventy members. 1f it the government will be defeated. Bogus Divorces, The cablegram of a few days ago whieh aunounced that the English court of high j e had refused to recognize # Montana divoree as valid calls renewed attention to the disgraceful frauds which are duily being perpetrated in this coun- wy under the name of legal divorce. In the case in question, an Englishman moved into Montana, resided there si months, secured a divorce from his English wifo at the oxpiration of that time and returned to England with an American bride. He served : his wife pt through publication in an obscure paper, and the first information she obtained of the dissolution of the warriage tie was the return of her hus- baud with a new bride. The laxity of our divorce laws, espo- aally in the west, is shameful, There is no question that hundreds of divorces are obtained every year by brazen per- jury, in which the injured wives or hus- \ndds are afforded no opportunity to de- fend suits brought against them without their knowledge. Only a few duys ago, in Douglas county, Judge Wakely dis- | was missed a swt where he bad learned only by uccident that the notice of the petition pubiished in a Swedish paper THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 14. 1886, in order to hide it more thor oughly from the defendant. Searcely a term of court passes where divorces are not granted to non-residents who come to Nebraska temporarily to obtain legal separation from their wives and husbands, and institute suits in our courts hundreds of miles from their homes to prevent a fair trial of the cause. Divorees by default are much too common. In nine cases out of ten they mean that the defendant has not received notice of the suit. Proceedings are begun secretly, the lawyer who has the case in hand takes care that the notice of petition 18 hidden in some obscure sheet wnere it will never meet the eyes of the husband or wife interested, and when the y for the hearing of the cause is set there is naturally no defense and the decree ob- tains by default. Divorces are proper when based on justifying facts and when obtained openly and without deception. The faultin our laws seems to be that personal service is not required when possible, and that actual citizenship and the intention to retain it is not a ne ry to be shown as a p uisito to secur- ing the operation of our courts in dissolv- ing the marriage tie Brass Mounted Audacity, The bellowing Bee will bellow longer and louder about the circulation and telegraphic news service of The Herald a little later, But for brass-mounted audacity its “London specinl” of Jast evening, tiat was manufac- tured out of one that was printed in Zie Her- ald several days ago, and is ealied news, is entitled to special attention and contompt. --Herald. alk about brass-mounted audacity! The audacity which prompts the Herald to make this retort surpasses in hardness smer steel or even adamant. The n of our copying the ble ser- vice of the Herald when we are paying for more than 4,000 words of spe: ev- ery day, is certainly more than auda- cious—it is a piece of sublime impudence. The eablegram, which the Herald claims was manufactured from an old dispatch that appeared in the Herald some days dnys ago, came by wire Sunday night and first appeared in Monday morning's edition of the BEE, which edition our con- tempory is at such pains to ignore. The most audacious viece of brass- mounted impudence is the Herald's at- tempt to rival the BEr's circulation, when it knows that there 1s sim- ply mno comparison to be made. 1f the Herald has any money to contri- bute to any charitable institution we will wager $1,000 that the BEE ci tes in the city of Omaha more than four papers to the Herald's one, and we are ready to wager an equal amount that the general circulation of the DarLy Beg is more than three to one of the Herald, with its Sunday addition dumped in to make up the aggregate. If the Herald were to contract to print our daily and weekly editions it would keep its newspaper presses grinding night and day, and then fail to do the job, even if we paid a dollar a copy for every paver turned out. This 1s no idle boast. Wo mean just what we say. Stick a pin there, if you please. DELAY in reaching a decisive vote is greatly favoring Mr. Gladstone’s home rule measure. His opponents have made a weak showing in their attacks on the measure. Sentiment in parliament still trembling in the balance, undecided in what direction to tnrn. The premier alone soems undisturbed as he awaits the result. If he succeeds, the vietory will be a stupendous one; if he is defeated, on the other hand, he may not be com- pletely demoralized. In the case of de- feat, there are several courses open to him. The heroic remedy would be to dis- solve parliament on this issue, and ap- peal to the country; in other words, to take the course of asking the kingdom at large if it were willing to try the experi- ment of home rule, through the simple process of issuing writs for a new clec- tion, in which tho home rule question would would be the paramount object of discussion. This was what Mr. Gladstone did in 1874, and then he failed to secure popular support. ~ Another course open to the premier would be to resign. In that event the queen would send for Lord Salisbury, as the recognized conser- vatiye leader, and ask him to undertake the task of forming a ministry, and, as the phrase goes, ‘‘carrying on her maj- esty's government.” Should he refuse or find it impossible, a coalition ministry, including men of all parties united to re- sist homo rule, under the premiership of Lord Hartington, is by no means impos- sible. In either of these events Mr. Gladstone would become simply the leader of the opposition and could carry no scheme of his own, but only fight the government until, perhaps, an adverse vote against it put him into power again. Which course will ne follow, in case he cannot carry his home rule scheme now, itis imposm{vlu to predict. Tue Herald says that it is not able to answer questions in respect to the ante- cedents, character and qualifications of West, the new governor of Utah, The Denver Z'ribune-Republican answers the questions as follows: “Caleb West, the new governor of Utah, is a judge, not & journalist, He hails from Cynthiana, where Blaine once taught school, and is said to be a Jover of horses and a good judge of whisky. These qualifications are probably all that are needed in & gov nor of Utah—so the president evidently thinks.” GeN. 0. 0. HowARrD leaves to-day for his new command in San Francisco. This closes a four years' station in the department of the Platte, which has been mutually prolitable to the general and the dopartment. During his sojourn in Omaha General Howard has made many friends who will deeply regret his de- parture and whose best wishes for future suceess will follow him to his new field of duty, Now that a proposition for the organ- ized encouragement of manufactures has been accepted by the board of trade, there should be nodelay in pushing the matter toa successful issue. Omaha’s future development is largely dependent upon the promotion of industrial enter- prise, ConMIssIONER Srarks has no intention of resigning under the fire of the railroad land sharks, who are attewpting to use *‘the honest settler’ asa cat’s-paw to take their chestnuts from the land-oflice fire e Business houses with signs “To Rent” hung from their fronts are as rare in Omwsba to-day as the fabled hen’s tecth. No Strike on the nion Pacific. A promment Knight of Labor assures the BEk that the variogs rumors to the effect that n generalistéike on the Union Pacific is being agitated and threatened are without foundation. The men gen- erally are well satisfieds All their griev- ances, as they have been vreseuted from to time, have been adjusted by the com- pany’'s officials who haye met the com mittees fairly and gquarely and done ev- erything in their power to avert any strike. As a matter of fact nearly every- thing demanded has been conceded full or compromised on a satisfactory © to all parties sted. Mr. Thomas Neasham, of Denver, the district master workman, is d to be a cool-headed man, somewhat after the style of Powderly, and does not believe in strikes. That a strike has not occurred on the Union Pacific is greatly due to his level-headedness, and th probability is that norie will ever occur if he can prevent it. This statement, coming from good authority, is certainly a gratifying urance to the people of Omaha and Nebraska that the present prosgperons condition of afl: will not be disturbed by any strike on the Union Pacific. The Omaka employees of the company ave generally satisfied, and are as anxious as anybody to share in the prosperity of this ci Among them are some of our best citizens, who will not countenance a strike unless some out- geous imposition drives them to it, Dgr. MiLLER endorsed no one for post- master at Hastings. This probably means that he endorsed no more than three eandidates for the position. EVERYTHING remains quiet in the south- west, but the final settlement is not yet in sight. POLITICAL POINTS. Allan G. Thurman, it is hinted, may yet “warw his toes in the cabinet.” Dr. A. C. Hamlin and Gen. Charles Ham- lin, are seeking the republican nomination for governor of Maine. Licut. Gov. Chauncey F. Black, of Penn- sylvania, is mentioned as probable demo- eratic nominee for governor. E Long, of Massachusetts, Is re- ported to look with longing eyes upon the senatorial toga so gracefully worn by Senator Daywes. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald announces that civil-service re- for, about which so much fuss has been made for some years, is now dead and burled. Gen. McClernand, who was offered and de- clined the governorship of Utah, has de- termined to enter the field as a candidate for the congressional seit now held by Mr. Springer. : Among the candidates for the democratic nomimation tor governor in Georgia is Hon. A. 0. Bacon, who was a clase competitor for the place four years ago when Alex. IH. Stephens was nominated. The New Haven News says honest and respectable men whoso only_ interest in poli- ties is a desire for the, public good ought to help the administration by furnishing infor- mation about candidates for office. The Philadelphia Press says: “The mug- wumps seem to be in hiding. 1Isn’t it about time for them to be fiximg a tate for a nation- al conference? The earth is turning regular- Iy, the seasons come and go, the sun shines, and e moon, as well as the stars, are all on deck and doing duty, and not a mugwump at the wheel.”” o George William Curtis puts it in this way: It must be a_source of poignant grief to American _citizens who decline w support unfit candidates for oflice, although nomin- ated by the party to which they belong, that Mr. Ingalls, a” republican candidate from Kansas, thinks that they are politically neither men nor women, and announces his opinion in such vivid terms, according to the reports, that ladies fly from the galler- ies and republican senators roar with laugh- ter.” No Reduction.

We doubt not that this will be admitted by her most enthusiastic admirers; and it cannot be entirely explained by the fact that she has been advertised and talkes about in the newspapers as no other act with the possible exception of Bernhardt ever was. We think r wonderful suc W attraction’ is due entirely to three cause first, that she is an” American; second, that she is peautiful. and third, that she is good; and the last cause is the first in con- tributing to her success, for though she were twice an Amorican and fwice as beautiful, she would not have won the position she occupies were she lueking in virtue It is a withering commentary upon the American stage to say that a woman has won fame upon it beeause she is virtu ous; and yet we do not_question its just- ness.

It is anunhappy fact that too many actors are worthless fellows; gooa for nothing but to play parts before the foot- lights; with no interests in the aftairs of the country or of society, and_ deserving of haying "their oitizenship taken from them; and that too many actresses are loose in the moral lives.

To treat the members of the executive board of the Knights of Labor s he did Saturday is to strengthen the urbulent cckless faction in that order who disposed to follow the violent lead crship of such men as Irons, and to weaken the powe: nd the influ- ence for good of prudent, law-abiding and reasonable men like Powderly. It is contemptible in Hoxie, or any man in his position, tospurn fair propositions for tl; termination of agreat strike, and it will y him or the company he repre- sents to insist upon every technical right and to grasp all the doubtful honors of his vietory. Hoxie ought to understand, as uvcr{yiuw]lig\!ub man does who has watched the course of eventsin the south- west, that it was largely if not chiefly Powderly's first order to the knights to roturn to work, which broke the back of the strike, and that, had the Knights of Labor and the lead- ers ~ been us arbitrary and uncom- promising as the activo hoad of the Missouri Pacific, that railroad would now be struggling in the midst of a des- perate strik d of running its trai with compars 1 regul it to the heads of the ordel o what the ve done to set his trains in motion and retire the peaceable and regular order of business in_soveral and 1 arc STRICTLY PURE.
