The townsand cities of Nebraska are growing the fast- est whose public spirited citizens are in- ducing capital to locate in their midst, furnishing employment to labor and o market for home products. Tue French government has warned 1ts people of the difficulties and of emigration *‘particularly to America." If half a dozen other governments would follow sutt there would be no complaint of workingmen here, who find every year the pressure of foreign immigrant labor harder to withstand. Mz. GouLp calls attention to the fact that he is in the habit of minding his own business. Unfortunately Gould’s busi- ness which he has minded so carefully has been tangled up with the broken for- tunes of a score of wrecked corporations and a thousand ruined business men. “This is the kind of industrious reserve which the public is not disposed to com- mend. AN honest assessment would be about the biggest boom which Omaha could ask for. It would mean at least half a dozen millions added to our valuation through an increase in the valuation of proverty owned by wealthy tax shirkers and syndi- «§ cates. The property of men of moderate L4 means has always been assessed propor- tionately higher than that of the rich in Omaha. CuoLERA has broken out in Italy and there is every reason to believe that Europe is again to be menaced by another epidemic of the scourge. This means of course that every precaution must be taken at all American ports to prevent . the importation of the infeotion.

Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. The political sleuth hounds that are so fariously barking at the heels of Senator Van Wyck must surely have been seized with the rabies. Van Wyckophobia will be the death of them. Although the senatorial campaign is still six months ahead of us, the phials of gall and wrath have been emptied at the senator and the state is deluged with the frothings of the political mad-dogs. The Umaha Republican has not only devoted a whole page to Van Wyek, but has followed it up with columns of edi- torial vaporings over what the maniacs are pleased to term *‘publie opini against Van Wyck. That page of Van Wyck- ophobia, embodying extracts from twen- ty-six papers, is headed ‘“Thirty-six pa pers belonging to the grand old party express their opinion of his (Van Wyck's) treache There are over 260 papers in Nebraska, and twenty-six of these constitute one-tenth of the entire state press. But do these papers voice the sentiment of the grand old party, or are they merely the pald telephones of the central monopoly exchange and hireling assassins of char- acter? Let us pull the masks from the treach- erous faces of some of these bushwhackers and lot honest republicans judge for them: s out of whose mouth Van Wyck is denounced and villified. First in order comes the malignant and over-zealous home organ of Jim Laird at Hastings. The kind of republicanism it spresents is symbolized in its patron wint. It is Stinking Water republican- ism, with the morals of a whisky bloated libertine, the bravado of a rowdy, and the overbearing swagger of the slugge Next comes a shrill snarl from the dog-in-the-manger down in the state of Beatrice, who has been yelping at Van Wyck ever since Algernon S. Paddock failed of re-election. Who is setting him on, and why he never stops snarling, we leave the public to divine. Ho does not voice the sentiment of republicans in Gage connty, whose nominations he has bolted whenever his kidneys were out of order. Tle average "‘yalier” doj is en- titiedsto greater respect than such a mis- erable cur. The sublimity of impudence is reached in Valentina's West Point paper, which peremptorily demands that Van Wyc should be retired. Valentine, we r member, was a bar-room and billiard- hall loafer until he happened, through the generosity of John M. Thayer, to be appointed register of a land ofl His career in public life has been a disgrace to the state. Cheek by jowl with the lowest of political bummers his highest conception of political statesmanship was to pack conventions, play capper tor monopolies, assist Iand grabbers, and engineer all sorts of jobs. Oh! Sonn- enschein and Schwenk! What a great man you have made of a small bore politician! Next in prominence comes the epistle from St. Paul, through the Kendall organ, which concocted that confederate spy libel that Yost and Nye repeated until convicted by a jury of twelve men, good and true. Shades of Lincoln, Garfield, and Grant! What a republican model this man Kendall is for all Nebraska! Kendall has good reason to froth at the mouth at the mention of Van Wyck's name. Had it not been for Van Wyck, and republicans who detest jobbery and thievery, those school land swindles would never have been ventilated, and Kendall might still be up for some fat office. From the home of the notorious repro- brate Carns, at Seward, comes a howl of pent-up indignation &t Van Wyck. Carns is just the kind of a republican who is shocked at any exhibition of honesty, decency and independence. It would not do for him to miss the opportunity to fling dirt at Van Wyck through pismire editors. From Saline county, where ‘‘the man of straw” has posed as an example of pure republicanism, comes a protest against Van Wyck. ‘But we understand that Mr., Dawes expects to be struck by senatorial lightning himself. Therefore Mr. Dawes is excusable for repudiating and retiring Van Wyck, The North Bend coyote shows his teeth, but he, too, is excusable. He hus just been bounced out of the postoftice. ‘We are not surprised that he also wonld like to flail Van Wyck. The wretched little whiffets who make up the rest ot the mad canine menagerie are hardly worthy of notice beyond the mere remark that nearly every one of them belongs to the old kennel in which the most disreputable whelps, bred by the spoils system and railrond domina- tion in Nebraska politics, were associ- ated. 1tis very tortunate for Van Wyck that this villainous crew are his sworn enemies.

The county commissioners have adopt- ed a resolution requesting architects to submit their views as to the construction of another story under the court house. In our opinton this resolution will serve no other purpose than to delay the much needed improvements of the court house grounds. The scheme is utforly 1mprace tical. Tt would not only be extra hazard- oug, but would not warrant the enormous outlay, even if we had a guaranty of per- fect safoty to the structure. The main object, as we understand it, isnotso much a desire to enlarge the accommodations for the county as it is to eut down Far- nam street eight or ten feet more. That as well be dismissed first as last. That proposed new story under the court house would not place the city in a better condition for lowering the grado on Farnam than it is now. At the very furthest the new story would be six- teen to ecighteen feet high, and that would only bring it two or three feet be- low the present grade. To cut Farnam ten feet would not only require another story under the court house but a new retaining wall around it. Grant even that this would be feasible and we still meet an obstacle to lowering the grade which eannot be overcome without an outlay of a quarter of a nuliion dollars. To lower the grade of Farnam ten feet would require a cut not less than thirty feet at the summit of Douglas street and fully twenty feet at the crossing of Eighteenth. Harney street, which is already five or feet lower than Farnam, at Seventeenth, Kigh- teenth and Nineteenth streets, would have to be regraded. The entire asphalt pavement on Farnam be- tween Eighteenth and Twentiet h streets would have to be destroyed, and repaving these two blocks would be as expensive asthe original job. The Sioux Falls pavement between Fifteenth and Eight- centh would ali have to be taken up and relaid, and so would the block of stone pavement on Sixteenth between Far- nam and Douglas. Now who 15 to pay all this expense? The money to cover damages and cost of repaving cannot possibly be raised by voluntary donation, and the payers of the whole city are notlikely to vote a quarter of a million dollars to carry out such a gigan- ieme. Much as we would like to arnam street lowered, we do not re- gard it as a practical scheme. The com- missioners are only wasting precious time. We want the court house grounds graded and sodded this spring. They we been an eye-sore long enough, The retaining walls should be built just as soon ns possible, and the tomfoolery about building another story under the courthouse should be dropped. Tre Vanderbilts have made another generous gift for which they are receiv- ing well deserved praise from the New York press. This time it is the donation of a quarter cf a million of dollars for the construction and endowment of a building for the clinical instruction of medical students in connection with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York. It will be remembered that a fow months prior to William H., Van- derbilt’s death, he made a gift of $500,- 000 for a new medical college building and grounds. In January last, Mrs. Wil- liam D. Sloan, his daughter, together with her husband, agreed to present to the College of Physicians and Sur- geons, properly endowed and equipped, a maternity hospital and lying-in-asylum, to be known as the Sloan Maternity Hospital. The gift of Messrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, William K. Vanderbilt, Fred- erick W. Vanderbilt and George W. Van- derbilt is to be supplementary to the two already endowed. The Vanderbilt Clinie, as it will be called, will include a free medical dispensary on the first floor, an amphitheater for clinical instruction on the floor above, and a number of small rooms for private instruction or instruc- tion in specialities. The clinical work will be on diseases of the eye and ear, throat, heart, lungs, nerves, genito- organs, skin diseases, and s of women and children. Every facility for practical study under the most skilled physicians will be af- forded, while surgical work proper will be left to the Roosevelt hospital and Ma- ternity hospital, adjoining. These three gifts of the Vanderbilts will always inseparably connect their name with the advance of medical science in the United States. Combined, they will give to the Collego of Physians and Sur- geons a leading position among the med- ical institutions of the world, while they will afford to the poor the best of medical advice free, and also will enable them to secure medicine without cost. OuR cable dispatches show a steadyif a slow revulsion of feeling in England in favor of the Irish measures proposed by the ministry. The modifications of the land bill from the first draft have con- ciliated many of the dissenting radicals, and even thought to have left the way open for Chamberlain's return to the cabmet. Mr. Gladstone's declaration that he would not insist upon the exclu- sion of the Irish members from West- minster, and would reconsider, if the house saw fit, some of the provisions of the home rule bill concerning imperial taxation, kas also gained the adherence of a number of waverers. The postponement of the second reading of both bills until next month is also considered favorable to the ministry. ‘The opponents of My. Gladstone have in- sisted throughout the debate that the country has had no opportunity to ex- press itself and that consequently it was unfair to bring forward such radical meusures at this time.

There died a short time ago near Flem- ington, Clinton county, Pa., a remarkable young man who was two or three years since well known among the young bloodsof this city. His name was Jasper Glasscock, and his occupation that of an inyentor. He first achieved notoriety by his devo- tion to Mary Anderson, the actress. Not content ‘with adwmiring her from a box in New York, he followed her wherever she traveled and attended overy rurlm-unmm- she gave. Bouquets, pe umed notes and valuable gifts handed up by ushers cost him much more than his railrona fare and hotel accommoda- tions, Glasscock actually believed, as long as he lived, that Miss Anderson cherished a tender fecling toward him. His_attentions were so marked and an- noying that Dr. Grifin was at last com pelledto have him arrested. Returning to Now York, Glasscock was so chafe by his champions that hé a, took to the rond and shadowed the fair actress more than ever. arain arrested at the instigati Griflin, and the f‘uq‘n-(- lectured, threatened and fined him, and Glasscock became completely discouraged and abandoned the chase, although he could never free himself from the illusion that, but for the inter- bosition of the eruel step-fathe his happiness would have been complete. Glasscock was the inventor of numer- mn‘pmmm. but his reckless and spend- thrift habits soon placed the ownership of them 'n other hands. in great favor with certa manufacturers, who would make for him any article he mod- eled, ¢ eded to the propricto After a Saturday night and a Sunday of extr nee he has been known to borrow a dotlar at the Hotel Brunswick to i fare to some New Jersey town, s his lawn sprinkler or other similar invens tion, and return before the week was out $100 s his share of the vrof- s on the sales.

Village bel his goods on sight, but the r of Mary Andersonrendered their charms and smiles and coquetries harmless to his heart. Among his inyentions were a railroad car which could be smashed i without killing a passenge for opening hot boiled eggs ing one’s fingers; an indestructible water proof covering for tent d ord- ance, far superior to_rubber or canvas, nd an improyed wire insulator, with which he parted for a pittance, and which is now extensively used throughout the United States. Glassclock left New York about a year ago, a_disappointed, disheartencd mun, without money and with broken health. The announcement of his death is_the first news t has_since been received concerning him. The immediate cause of his breaking down was the failure of a pet scheme on which he had long med- itated, and which had cost hima vast amount_of labor and paticnce, For months he gave himsclf up to perfecting a plan whereby he might rob the sulb- treasury in broad day light of a large sum of notes or bonds. To this end a captain of a sailing vessel. brought from Brazil a baby monl of a species that 20 e of a dwarf. For luded himself with is pet, teaching him all manner of trick: Those 'before whom he exhibited the in: telligence of the little animal pronounced its performance marvelous. At an al- mosl_impreceptible signal the monkey would jump on the breast of a er, snateh a concealed handkerchie his coit pocket, and return with it to his master, before the tonish victim could realized what had occurred. In the same way he would deftly take a dime from a man's vest pockot, or re- move a mere serape of paper from the frame of the lughest hung picture in a room. He was made famihar with the touch and smell of bank notes, and seemed to realize that they were of value, for when turned loose on a hunt he would pass by handkerchiefs, scarfs, rings, ete., until he found a bill When the monkey's education was completed Glasscock” began visiting the sub-treasury with a view to picking ount the dullest “custodian of money. Eh\s» cock felt confident that the monkey could do it unobserved. Hisfrequent visits to the sub-treasury on trivial business, how- ever, soon aroused the suspicions of Capt. Sampson, and Glasscock found himself cnusmnfl]y shadowed while in- side. Thus foiled at the outset, he he turned his attention to the down-town banks, and finally selected two which of- fored exceptional advantages for the success of his scheme, the cash being easy of nccess. His plan was said to be to enter one of hese banks dressed as an English tor A large, perforated field gluss cs g by his side was to contain the . Presenting a_check which would be lidely to dema:id a consultation between the paying teller and cashier, he would, as the former stepped away a few paces, let the monkey out, point to a package of bills and show him the way through the o benoath the i;rntu windo I stepping a ittle away ‘from the window he would turn his back toward and await the monkey’s return to his ease. Should the trick” be success- ful he would be in possession of $25,000 or $50,000 in cash, "Should the monkey bo dotocted he would expluin that tho an- imal had escaped unnoticed by him, and being of a mischievous nature had pro- ceeded to amuse himself in his own way. If the bank ofticials were inclined to be suspicious or to have him arrested he would ask one of them to accompany him to the postoflice to secure a letter which he had just mailed to a friend in 3 o, notifying him that he had that day shipped his monkey as ro- quested. The letter would be found, and subsequent inquiry would show thaf the friend was a genuine one and was ex- peeting the monkey. Glasscock would then explain that he was on his way to an express oflice to ship the monkey, the check presented would prove to be genu- ine, and there would "be no evidence against him, : On the Sunglay preceding the carving out of this plan Glasscock went driving on St. Nicholas avenue with a party of friends.
