Tt is announced that arrangements are nearly completed for the thirteenth na- tional conference of charities and correes tion, to be held this year at St. Paul, Min- nesota, from the 15th to the 21st of July. The programme as at present arranged gives promise that the proceedings of the forthcoming eonference will be unusually interesting and instructive, and it is gratifying to have the assurance of the officers that the indications of a large at- tendance are most favorable. Looking over the list of subjects that will be pre- eented, we find them nearly all of a strictly practical character, and among those who will contribute papers upon vital matters relating to charities and correction are Bishop Ireland of Minne- sota, Rev. R.* Heber Newton of New York, ex-Governor Hoadly of Ohio, Hon. Henry W. Lord of Dakota, Hon. F. B. Sanborn of Massachusetts, Hon. Simon Wolf of Washington, D. C, be sides & number of ladies who have had extended experience in the work which it is the special purpose and province of the conference to consider and discuss These annual confercnces have unques tionably been of inestimable service in promoting public interest and enlarging vopular knowledge respecting the ex- tremely important subjects of charities and correction, which ever present ing new conditions and suggestions to the contemplation study of those who from duty or inclination give them attention. They an ever-growing and an inexhustinble demand upon the regard of the creators and the administra- tors of law, the students and investiga- tors in the department of moral activities, the philanthropic, and that useful class charged with caring for the unfortun- ates who are dependent upon the public beneficence or become subjects of penal restrant and control. These confercne therefore, merit all the interest and support that can be shown them. Nebraska is not behind the younger states in the attention her people have given to the subjects of charities and corrcction, but there might b tor interest manifested in them. time is not far distant when they will make a much stronger and more urgent demand upon our attention than they now do, and it will be well to be prepared to answer such demand by the best methods which knowledge and experience ap- prove. It is intended to send to St. Paul a delegation from this state charged with the special duty of invitng the confer- ence to meet next year in Omaha, and itis desiraple that this delegation shall have the authority to offer induce ments not i to be outweighed by those which will undoubtedly be p sented by other communities. There is every facility at hand for the adequate and excellent entertainment of those who would attend the conterence, and there are strong general reasons that can be urged n favor of holding it here, but the delegation should be enabled to supplement these by the as- surance of an_open-handed liberality on the part of our people that would com- pel attention to our invitation. The eftect which a meeting of the confercnce here would have in conserving and mulating the work of charities and correetion in Nebraska justifies an earn- est effort to sccure the conference of next year for Omaha. and An Unprofitable Treaty, The question of terminating the treaty of the United States with the govern- ment of the Hawaiian Islands is pending in congress, with some prospect that the notice of the desire of this gov- ernment to terminate the treaty will be approved. The fact appears to be that it is an altogether one-sided arrange- ment, the benefits from which are wholly enjoyed by the planters of the islands and a combination of sugar refiners in San Francisco who are also large owners of plantations in the islands. Tho practical effect is that the United States 18 annually subsi- dizing the Hawaiian sugar and rice planters to the extent of about$4,000,000, for which liberal consideration there are no compensating advantag The ex- ports from this country to the islands are said to amount to less than the su, du- ties remitted by the treasury under the provisions of the treaty of 1876, and it does mnot appear that they have been materially increased as a re- sult of the treaty. Indeed, it is claimed that the treaty has utterly failed to divert any part of the European trade of the islands to the United States, as was promised by the Hawaiian nego- tiutors, but on the contrary the planters, enriched by the benefits derived from the treaty, have become more liberal custom- ors of European manufacturers and mer- chants, On the other hand the producers of the islands cannot do without the mar- kets of California and Oregon for their sugar and rice, as the freight charg for transporting the same to Europe or the eastern parts of the United States would be quite three times larger than the freight charge from the islands to San Francisco. Neither can they obtain the bulky and, in many cases, perishable supplics which they obtain from San Francisco as cheaply elsewhere. Obviously, therefore, there is no suflicient reason why this jughandle srrangement, wliich seems to be so entirely in the interest of the Hawaiian planters and a fow sugar refiners, should continue. It is not thesort of reciprocity which is reciprocal. ‘The report that in the event of the ter- mination of the treaty a European syndi eate is ready to loan the Hawaiinn gov- crument ten wmillion dollars, with the expectation that they will obtamn pos- session of the suvercignty of the islands, is doubtless correctly regarded as a mere invention of those who fear that the treaty will be abandoned and their mter- ests destroyod or seric damaged. Tiat King Kalekaun is nesr enough to ankrupt to desire a loan is not doubted, but he has o recurity that money leuders who oxpeet ever to get a return of their ioan would be likely to scoept.

Popular expressions of ithusiasm are not always a safe guide, but there is good reason to believe that the liberal cause has been greatly strengthened in Scotland, and that the election will result in return ing an increased representation of home rule liberals from t country. In Eng land the conservative cause is not be lieved to have gained anything from the cocercion arguments of Lord Salisbury 1 the ill-natured appeals of Churchill, and there are reported indications of an inereasing liberal sentiment in unex pected quarters. The conservative can- didates, it is said, are becoming bewil dered by the eccentricitios of their sever and are heartily wishing for a leader who would lead.

The forty-ninth anniversary of the ac- cession of Queen Victoria to the throne occurred on last Sune and was duly celebrated throughout England by spe- cial religious services. Preparations for celebrating her jubilee a year henee were begun some time sinee. It is interesting to note that only three reigns have ex- ceeded hers inlengdh in the 1,059 years which have pa Egbert the Saxon conquered the provinces of Kent, ox, Wessex, Essex, East Anglia, Mer- and Northumberland, and first ssumed the title of king of England. Henry IIL reigned fifty- six years, Edward IIL fifty ye: and George IIL sixty years. These are the four longest reigns in English history. Among living monarchs none approach any of these in duration of sway except Dom Pedro of Brazil, who has reigned fifty-six years, having ascended the throne when only five years of age. Francis ph of Austrin bas ruled thirt; and William twenty-five years, ten a and fifteen as The only reign in a great nation outside of England that exceeded Victorin’s was that of Louis XIV. of France, which extended through seventy-two years. Elizabeth ruled forty- five yoars, which was a longer period than that of any other of England’s women monarchs except Victoria. sed since Tuesday, in the Fronch senate, the bill for the cxpulsion of the princes was passed by a majority of 34 in a total vote of 248. The result had been a foregone conclusion and was consequently receive by the people withoutany demonstration. A meeting of the followe of Prince Napoleon on the same evening was slen- derly attended, and an invitation of Prince Victor to his partisans to meet him at his home on Wednesday was not largely responded to. But notwithstand- ing this apparent popular indifference there is believed to be a strong under- current of sympathy with the banished princes which may find a more favorable opportunity for expression in the not far tuture. The count of Paris arrived in London on Thursday, where he issued a manifesto protesting against the expul- sion, charging the republic with cow- ardice, and aflirming that he has the con- fidence of France and at the decisive hour will be ready. The other exiles have betaken themselves to safe asylums, * e to the newspaper corre- spondents the relations between Germany and France are greatly strained. They find the foundation for their representa- tives in the general reason that the opin- ion in France is unanimous that Germany is seeking a pretext for renewed war, and there is some warrant for the belief that such a fear exists, in the fact that of late French oft s and journals have been unusually reserved in their criti- cisms of German policy and acts, On the part of Germany, it is not unlikely that the new French army bill has cited some feeling against France. This bill virtually makes every Frenchman who has attained a certain age liable for ac- tiv in the army during a period of threo years. Further than this, it pro- poses the novel idea of imposing what jt alled a “blood tax’’ on all those who are mentally or physically in- capable of scrvice. This tax fixed at 6 centimes per day for the three years ing which the incapable would have ed were he able to do so. Even elergymen under this bill are not exempt from service, But whatever the cause of the present strained relations between the two countries, the fact that it exists is evident to the administrative circles of other Furopean states. London officiuls ut latest dates say that more than once since the first week of June the relations between Frence and Germany were so strained thut the recall of the German am- Lassador from Paris was hourly expected.

A volley of artillery followed from four gatling guns, which fired 1,200 shots inside of ten minutes, Three hundred soldiers, who had been quietly stationed in the vicinity of the tent, now gave us a fusilade of ten minutes from their muskets, and the shouts of the of: ficers calling company G., H., B., &e., to fall In were heard inside the tent.
