There must be a duel to the death.”” Tre New England fishmongers aro quicting down in their demands that the government should precipitate a war with Great Britain over the codfish and mackerel question.

But thereis no absolute constraint " upon the sovereign to agree to a dissolu- tion when the ministry has been defeat- ed, and it is not yot certain that the queen will feel called npon to summon another parlinment before the close of the sum- mer season. In fact, it rumors are to be believed, Mr. Gladstone is as anxious to postpone the general election as her maj- asty is to prevent its oceurrence. Tgsu discontent produced a movement 's freodom.

Where the Shoe Pinches. The desperats fight which the land grant railroads are making in congress to prevent the forfeiture of their un- earned lands may delay the final day of reckoning, but cannot long postpone the settlement of a questicn in which the entire west is so vitally intereste The debates on the bill to forfeit the unearned Northern Pacific grant have brought out some startling information regarding the reckless extravagance of the nation in squandering the public domain on specu- lators and stock jobbers. The sum total of lands donated to corpora- tions cover an area mnearly equal to the eight states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, tllinos, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Towa and Missouri, an area equal to the empire of Germany, with the kingdoms of Italy, Greece, Portugal and the Siwiss republic thrown in. All of this imperial domain was granted on certain fixed con- ditions with which in most instances the companies have not complied. The bills to forfeit the grants are in every instance based on the failure of the companies to comply with the granting law. But the millions of acres of unearned lands have been held for speculation, and are now immensely = valuable to the great’ speculators who have held them out of the market awaiting the inevitable rise. In the case of the North- ern Pacific the proceeds of the govern- ment grants were suflicient to puild and equip the entire road, and the uncarned land remaining is valued at from £30,000,000 to $95,000,000. The smaller sum has already been offered for it by English capitalists so soon as the fear that congress will interfere and restore thograntto the public domain is re- moved. This is where the shoe pinches. Every acre of unearned railroad lands now retained by the companies is stolen property, to which the corporation *'fences’’ are attempting to sccure a clear title, In the case of the Northern Pacific alone, the success of the corporation attorneys in the senate means a clear profit of nearly a hundred millions of dollars. Neurly seven yeara have passed since the date ficed by law when the unearned lands of that corporation should have reverted to the government, but they still remain in the hands of the company. Thuir forfeiture would mean a loss of millions to the men who haye milked the road dry by their stockjob- bing operations, and who now look to the sale of lands which they do not own to put the road once more on its feet. How Long? Itis amusing to watch the quarrcls among the followers of the star-eyed goddess of reform and to listen to the volley of charges and reeriminations which the rival factions of the democracy are hurling at each other. The battle cry of freedom, ‘“a tariff for revenue only,” has been changed to the slogan, ‘“‘a government for its revenne,” and the most frantic efforts of Messrs. Morrison, Holman and Randall have proved quite insuflicient to restrain the charges which the democratic majority have heen making upon the treasury., Col. Morri- son even went so far as to remind his impatient friends that there is o democratio majority in the house be- cause it was belicved that the republi- cans had been wasteful and that demo- crats would be more economical. But all to no avail. With a demoeratic ad- ministration in power and democratic officials handling the money, the last pre- tense at economy has yanished. The ag- gregate of appropriations for this year will be greater than ever. A majority of the departments and their burcaus ask larger sums than ever wera voted to them under a republican administration. The private bills introduced to tap the treasury oxceed all previous records. Jeffersoman simplicity and Jacksonian democracy,whatever their former signifi- cance, have been stored away in the cap- 1tol cellar with none so poor s to do them reverence. There is genuine pathos in the wail of a leading democratic journal which exclaims indignantly: ““Just hea- ven! What statesmanship bursts upon the country from Washington! Pension bills, education bills, subsidy bills, river and harbor bills, public building bitls— bills by the thousand to deplote the treas- ury and saddle the industryof the coun- try with greater burdens; but no time and no inclination to consider a mensure for the reduction of taxation! How long will the patience of the nation endure the control of these profligate representa- tives?” — Greoley's Promotion. Several Washington corrospondents, who onght to know better, are informing roaders of the pavers for which they write that Captain Maaden's promotion in the army will make Lieutenant Grecley Pcaptnln. This, wo are told, will give iho™ présient 8 chanco fo gpBoint tho broken-down Arctic explorer 0 & staff position as major and assislant adjitant general, The promotion of Captain Daniel Madden from the Sixth cavalry to a majority in the Seventh will not at all affect the present status of Lieutcnant Greeley. Mr. Greeley will reach a cap- taincy only when a vacancy occurs i his own regiment by the promotion of one of 1ts captains. By army usage promotions below the rank of field ofti cers ave made regimentally. Above that rank, they are made according to lineal seniority. A lieutenant may stand at the head of the list of lieutenants in the army for years and see himself “jumped’” by his juniors time and again, so long as vaean ocour dn the rank of eaptains in other regiments then his own. The promotion must come in his own regi- mont. This is manifestly unfair and unju The rule was originally adopted to pro- vent the expense necessary to make fre- quent transfers of oflicers from one regiment to another. 'T'he army was then widely seattered and long overly journcys, before the age of steam I brought every military post within sonable tizne distance of each other, had to be made when ofticers passed from one station to another in different sections of the country. For this reason a system was adopted which retained officers in regiments which they joined as a second lieutenant, until they leaye to put on the major's epauletts. The result is that in sowme regimenls prometions are slow, in others rapid, some officers fortunate, others unfortunate in risiug through the grades. In jastice to all, the same principle of promotion should apply in the line that applies in the ficld and staff. Seniority of service, oliwer things being equal, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY.

The defeat of Mr. Gladstone and his ministry on the second reading of the bill granting home rule to Ireland will oome with a sense of bitter disappoint- ment to thousands who have no personal interest in the great issue which it in- volves. The commanding courage re- quired for the introduction of such a measure, the brilliant oratory by which it was defended, and the masterful re- sources displaged in ench successive step of its progress have won for the author and defender the sympathy and admiration of two continents. Envy and malice have assailed him at every point, disappointed mbition has dug pitfalls along his course, and a corrupt coalition of opposing political interests bound together by the tie of hatred to the premier have at last succeeded in their supreme effort to di lodge him from the position which for more than haif a century he has held as the leader of liberal England. [t is a singular instance of the irony of fate that the defeat of the premier was chiefly due to the men whom he had made it possible to sit in parliament, the representatives of an enlarged fran- chise and of borough reform. The defeat of the present home rule has been expected for more than a nonth past and the effect on this continent has been to some extent discounted. It only postpones for a time the inevitable. Th most bitter opponent of home rule is un- willing to admit that it settles anything more than the refusal of the present par- liament to vote for political autonomy for Ireland on the lines Iaid down by Mr. Gladstone. But back of parliament lies the great English working classes, and that political party which has never yet failed to respond to the master voice of the liberal leader when raised in advocacy of right and of justice to the oppressed. To them must the tinal ap- peal be made. The rejection of the home rule bill transfers the struggle from the benches of parlinment to the polling booths of Great Britain. With the dis- solution of parliament, which cannot long be deluyed, will begin the mightiest conflict which England has witnessed for The Cable Line Location, There is no good reason why the cable cars cannot ran up and down Farnam sireet if the company is so inclined. It is the natural thoroughfare to the west, the grade is established to the city limits and the traflic which it would furnish offers astrong argument in favor of the selee- tion. The street is wide enough to ac- commodate four tracks. Not more than two would probably ever be occupied at the same time, and even if all were for a monient at a single point, used by the street and cable cars, the public would not be inconvenienced. Farnamstreet is double the width of streets in many S which find no difficulty in permitting two tracks to be operated along their length. The cable line would n ot Farnam street from the river up to the city limits, business property. It wonld do this for no other strect. We believe that the cable company would be glad to see its way clear to operate the line west on Farnam, It would be money in the pockets of every lot owner if they could see their way equally clear to urge them to ao so. A handsome bonus to in- duce the location of the cable oars on Omaha's leadin, thorough- fare would be a . paying invest- ment to those who contributed. On some of the other streets proposed the, grade is not yet fixed and on none have pavements yet been laid beyond the rise of Capitol hill. Tf some of our energetic merchants on Farnam street would take hold of this question and push it for all there is in it, property owners along the strect could readily be brought to sec where their interests lie or do not lic in permitting any other thoroughfare to reap the benelits of rapid transit. e every foot THE house bas passed the bill for the repeal of the pre-emption, timber cul- ture and desert lands acts. It now re- mains to be seen whether the senate wili do its duty. If the republicans of the senate act in accord with the national platform of the party they cannot do otherwise than pass the bill. The repub- lican party through its national conven- tion declared itself in favor of the aboli- tion of all laws for the benefit of land- grabbe and insisted that the remain- der of the public domain should be re- served for the honest, actual bomg- steader. The republican genate now bas an opportunity to putitself on record in oppositioh to land-grabbers, sharks, monopolists and alein syndicates. It cannat offord atthis stage to throw away that opportunity. HISTORIANS are calling attention to the fact that the Infaut king of Spain enjoys the almost unique distinction of having been born a monarch. There is no other like distinction in the history of Spain, nor of England.
