ApAMS finds Omahaa very healthy town, in spite of all the drawbacks of wrotched dopot accommodations and ob- structed connections with the cagt. Wiy can't Van Wyck do something that will not offend the sensitive soul of the Pickwickian young man who edits the Douglas street *‘Lunch Counter'’? PRESIDENT ADAMS may say what he pleases to inquisitive reporters about his utter ignorance of the intentions of the Union Pa with regard to daepots, headquarters and locad connections. But we imagine that he still has some influ- ence with Mr. Callaway and his staff. President Lincoln once protested when * somcebod, ked him for an oflice that he had no influence with the administration. President Charles Francis Adams still has ‘some influence with the Union Ps THE property owners along south Six- teenth street have very promptly sub- scribed the funds necessary to pay the damages assessed by reason of the con- struction of the new wviaduct. This set- tles the question of the speedy erection of the structure which is to give Omaha the shortest line to the stock yards and to continue to the city limits one of its most important retail thoroughfare The building of the viaduct will at once raise values from one end of Sixteenth street to the other. OMAHA boasts of no artificial boom, but she continues to grow steadily and substantially, The numerous handsome buildings and the thousands of dwellings that are being erccted, the grading, curb- ing and paving of the streets, the build- ing of the viaduct, the construction of the belt line, the proposed cable line, the steady influx of new busin, firms, wholesale and retail, the building of new packing houses at the South Omaba stock yards, and a hundred other enter- prises, all contributing to the wealth and population, are some of the evidences of the growth and prosperity of Oma TaE cable line will be welcomed pin Omaha and liberal inducements will be offered the company to inagurate the sys- tem. But the managers should not ask for theearth. ‘Ihe city has some interests at stake which it is the duty of the council to protect. Rates of fare should be reg- ulated and there certainly ought to be guarantees of a minimum number of trips to be run and distance traveled. If xight of way is to be given over the new wiaduct the company should be called upon to contribute towards its mainten- snce, Of course they would come under the same rostrictions as the street car com- pany in rogard to street paving and maintenance of payements. There is o general tendency throughout the coun- ey to vofuse any more donations of of way which are extremely valuable privileges, 1f the cable company sceures these upon certain specified routes they should be satisfied to abide by reasona- ble restrictions which will assure the public a fair return for the franchise.

The President's Message. The message of President Cleveland upon the existing labor trouble is chiefly interesting as an evidence of the national importance attained by the present dis- tions of capital and la bor. he president ealls the attention of congress to the subject as a “serious and prossing” one, so serious that he feels constrained to urge the passage of legis the dangers which he believes are threatening social order and the material interests of the nation. The remedy which Mr. Cleveland provoses is voluntary arbitration through a federal commission attached to the labor bureau, which shall be a permanent body at all times to offer its services to disputants Such a body Mr. Cleveland believes would be preferable to a local commis rience and and would be ing disputes ability to adjust grievances, more impartial in conside which might arise. The president’s sug from that of Congressman O'Neil in muking the commission a permanent body of federal office-holders with head at Washington, while Mr eil's bill ealls for loeal commissions with the power of federal courts, to be called together at_places where disturh ances may anse. Both bodies are to have no power of enforcing their decisions stion differs only | Their judgments are to be nothing more than opinions upon the questions sub. mitted, which either side may disregard Herein lies the flaw in voth pro positions. % arbitration sounds well, ive in the adjustment of gr isputes, such as those which are now s viously injuring the country, is an arbi trament which will carry the means of enforcing its decisions with it. The ob- jection that constitutional restrictions stand in the way of such a method of settlement can be removed. If the gov- ernment has no right to deal with such questions now it should be given the right. Sixty millions of people will take the view that if there is no constitutional remedy for the disastrous complications which railroad management and railroad strikes haye developed, some remedy must be provided. Voluntary arbitr: tion may do for questicns of local import- ance, but where the whole internal commerce of the land is affected and cvery day of disturbance means hundreds of thousands of dollars of loss to the na- tion, a more effective means must be sought. Mapleson the Humbug. Omaha is to be spared the infliction of an alleged operatic performance by that prince of humbugging impressarios, Colonel Mapleson. Aside from hear- ing Minnie Hauk, Omaha can congratu- late herself that the doughty coloncl's creditors in the west have relieved her from the cloud of profanity which would surely have floated over the city after the proposed performance of Saturday. . The troupe virtually went to picees in San ‘rancisco, many of the best sing- left in disgust for the and those who remamed did s0 principally for the reason that their es were ir ears and the railroad companies declined to transport pas: gerson credit. Col. J. H. Mapleson is roundly cursing his bad luck. Ho thinks the American people unappreciative, and attributes his financial disaster to the ignorance of the public. Asa matter of fact, Mapleson has killed himself and Italian opera mn this country by his fail- ure to keep faith with the public and his outrageous treatment of his troupes. New York threw him out bod- ily last fall. He had humbugged them for several s broken his contracts with the Academy of Music di; ors, cheated the public with troupes composed of a few ‘good stars and mis- erable support, with a background of wretched scenery and worn-out operas. His record has been one of daily quarrels litors, fights with deputy sher- sputes with managers and hotel proprictors, wrangles with employes and cursings from an outraged public. Omaha need feel no regret at missing another opportunity for denouncing him as a fraud of the first water Other Lands Than Ours, Tho home rule campaign has be transferred from the benches of parlia- ment to the halls of the various citi and tories aro haranguing thei stituencies upon the proposed measures for Irish reform. The meetings held and called since the adjournment of parlia- ment on Monday are already numerous. The managers of the liberal party are using all their efforts primariiy to arrest the process of party disruption. Dread of this impending catastrophe has already modified the tone of several liberal papers, which are now disposed to accept Mr. Gladstone's proposals rather than risk political ruin, This and other things greatly encourage the Glad- stonians, who already proclaim the con- viction that the country will come round to their side. Cooler heads think thav the data for a decisive opinion are still wanting. The line the caucus now seems melined to take is protty clearly indicated iu the attompt to rally liberals once more by the magic of Mr. Gladstone’s nume rather than on the merits of the present home-rule policy. Many liberal associ tions show themselves ready to indorso both, Many advocate the second read- ing of the ministerial bills, while not pledging themselves to the details. This last declaration is the most the liberal whips really hope to sccure. Home members of the house believe In hm possibili of 1g some Irish measure ir&ulvmx largo concessions, yet not large enough to satisfy My, Parnell. It is certain that no such measure will be accepted by Mr iladstone, or earried while his ministry is in ofli Mr. Davitt's speech in Gla gow is a singular comment on Mr. Glad- stone’s theory that home rale in the pres- ent form will be a finulity. My, Davitt being asked whether the Irish would be satistied, replied thatit was no reason be- causea man had breakfast that he should not have dinner and supper. The opposition in Scotland still continues Scotlund has been for u year a source of anxiety to tho liberal leaders. During the campaign last autumn the Scoteh liberal press received Mr. Gladstone's northeru speeches very coldly. They re- fused to believe the premier when he denied that there was any possibility of making disestablishient & live issue in parliament, The Scoteh liberals revolted at tirst when the proposed Dublin parliament -was awnounced, but re- pented; and now they are all over the fences again on land expropria- tion. The Glasgow chamber of commerce passed a vote on Monday denouncing the land purchase measure, and Mr. Glad- stone's trip to the “northern capital” will not be any child’s play. After say- ing all that can be said in explanation of the Scotch coldness toward the govern- ment on the ground of high patriotism, it must be confessed that Caledonia ap- pears to be moved by a clannish fear that she is being left out in the cold on land reform. * " Greece scoms dotermined to precipitate war with Turkey and to de‘y the powers. T'he first elash of arms took place on Tuesday, when an alleged attempt on the part of the Turks to cross the neutral line was repulsed by the Greek troops who captured two of their guns. There secms little doubt t the powe interfore at once. Germany and I land are agreed on a policy of armed in- tervention. Resolute action by all the powers would put an end to the Greek demonstration. They would blockade the Pimrus, and if necossary take posses- sion of Athens. Greece would then be foreed to submit to superior force, and give guarantees to keep the peace, But the powers naturally shrink from bully- ing by combined strength a kingdom too puny to cope with the weakest of them The mortifying position m which Greece finds herself wounld be changed, but per- haps the clements of ridicule and ehagrin might be transferred to themselves, Be- sides, there 1s certain sympathy for Greece, arising from the belief that she was not treated by Turkey in the matter of the frontier as the treaty of Berlin con- templated. e Bismarck’s significant ren map of kurope needs rev cause uneasiness in Fra probable that ¢ ious for any addition to the Kaiser's do- minions from French tercitory, but a firm alliance might be made between Ger- many and Italy by ceding to the Iatter the Mediterrancan provinees of France, which would nicely round off the north Italian frontier. T'he bare possibility of such o thing is enough to put every “renchman in a cold prespiration, and yet apartition of this kind 1s far from impossibie. ark that the n is likely to 1t is not ially anx- * **e The Russians are determined to keep all they have won in Asia, aid are mak- ing a long step in the direction of de- fending their newly-acquired p on north of Afghanistan by constructing a railvond from the Caspian sea to Merv.

Dusseldorf shows the largest percentage of i 451 inhabitants, census, @ 7e 58 at the last of a little over 19 per cent. The quaint city of Nuremberg seems to taken a new lease of life ovor 16,000 to her population in the last five years, having now 116,193 inhabit- ants. Even in Strassburg, in the *“‘ca tive” province of Alsace, the numbers have grown from 104,000 in 1800 to 112,- 000 in 1885. The whole empire has added about 6,000,000 to its population since 1871, the year ot 1ts formation. A com- parison with the latest estimates, only partially official, of other Buropean coun- tries shows that Germany is increasing in population much more rapidly than any of them except Russia. 'This, too, in spite of the strong tide of cmigration. ¥ e The favorable report of a committee of the French chamber of deputies upon the Panama Canal company's application for permission to issue loitery bonds to amount to $120,000,000 indicates that the French government has decided to sup- port M. de Lesseps in that matter. If M. Rosseau has submitted a re- port upon which such action can reason- ably be based it should be given to the public. 1t is worthy of notice that the movement for this huge lottery loan promises to be successful just at the time when the government is about to ask the French people for a loan of $300,000,000. It is said, moreover that the Credit Fon- cier may at any moment undertake to place lottery bonds for $150,000,000 or $200,000,000. The savings of krenchmen will soon b in great demand. If the canal company should gain its point now, with a great national loan imp@Bling, its success would indi a willingness on the part of the government to support the enterprise at any cost.

Senator Dolph, ot Oregon, is not a million: He is a railw attor- ne; For some time he has been quite con- spicuous in an apparent desire to have tain unearned land grants to the Northern Pacific forieited, and people who knew Dolph and his relatipns o that road m velled much at the singular attitude of an at- torney for Villard and the old Northern P cific. It has taken the genius and indust of the terrible Van Wyek to unearth the S egambian, Dolph’s hill fs to forfeit only that on of the grant ¢xtending from Wallula, to Portland, over which the company did not build. The road made other con- nections and does not care for the land in- volved. But it does want to be contirmed in its title to the other unearned lands along its line, and the Dolph bill provides for that in a very neat way. 'The result of the VanWyck exposure is that the bill will go back to the committee, and another bill, forteitin whole of the unearned land grant west of the Missouri river, will take its place, Thus railway attorney in the senate, masquerad- ing as a public servant, stripped of his flimsy disguise.
