PaAwrNELLS amendment to the queen’s address was rejected by a decis- dve vote. Thus was to be expected, The whig and radical branches of the union- dsts are evidently disposed to embra the tory ministry as little as possible until they are ready to formulate their -plans for remedial legislation in Irelund, H fn fact pledges to this effect have alveady passed between Lord Hartington and Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Salisbury, ‘When Lord Randolph Churchill intro- iduced his promised bill the eritical mo- anent for the ministey will have arrived.

The recrimina- _’fionn of these two individuals are inter- Lesting us additional exposures of the lack of principle of both, and will not change or improve the public opinion of either. & Tue movement of the workingmen of {New York for mdependent political ae- [tion is erystalizing. At a large meeting Jold Friday ovening overtures wero mado . %0 Henry George, the well known socim- <dst writer, to accept the candidacy for the mayoralty. In n communication Mr, George implied a lack of faith in so-called Jabor movements, and as a prevequisite %o acceptan asked that he should be pledged thivty thousand votes. 5o un- wsual a demand had a rather dampening effect, but committees were appointed to *fecl the puise” of the bor element, and there will be further action next week. Meanwhile, possibly a loss exacting can- didato than George may be found. —— Tie executive order issucda few weeks ago advising publie oflicials not to mix too nctively and prominently in politica, has proved effective thus far only to a very limited' extent. Almost before the fuk had dried the order was yiolated by the foderal democratic officials in Rhode Island, and at the recent democeratic con- n there were present nor more representatives of the administration who drawing pay tor their services from the publie treasury, all prominent in managing the work and shaping the sentiment of the convention he postmasters of Chicazo and Spring fleld, and an cmploye of the formor of- #ice, ave members of the Ilmois ¢emo seratic state committee, the Chieagro post- mnastor also ropresenting linois in the mational demoeratic committee, The Chieago Jerald pertinently vomarks that *the president’s order means something or it means nothing.' The extent to wwhich it is disregurded leaves no doubt @8 to what is the general opinion of dem- @erats respecting it. A Forgotten Responsibility.

Our million- e od with the idea of build- | ing up great establishments and leaving | I | [ | aires are their children to maintain the family name with the added importance of in creased family wealth. There is Iittle of that feeling of the responsibility which attaches to wealth that is found abroad, and which shows itself in for eign countr in the founding of hospitals, the endowment of | museums, the construction of and the maintenance of great charitable institutions. The American monoy who have erected such monuments “more tasting than hronze™ are fow and far tween, There are brilliant such as Stephen Girard, George Peabody, William Corcoran, John C. Green and John Jacob and William Astor. Jut when compared with the Jarge number of possessors of immense fortunes‘in this country the number is trifling and incon- siderable. Every city should be made through 1ts monunents of local liberality the pan- theon of its wealthy citizens, The men [ y Kings be- exceptions, whose life-long str for wealth has been crowned with success largely through the growth of the communities in which they live, should he glad to re- turn a portion of their aceu mulations to foster intelligence, alleviate distress and merease the future prosperity of their city. Such benefactions outlast the flect- ing gossip of their former possessions and carry the name of the benefactor in peaceful remembrance down to o grate- ful posterit; The Bond Election, The special election on Tuesday will give our citizens and tax payers zn op- portunity of deciding whether paving a1l be continued through districts al- eady defined by the council and in which the property owners are anxiously awaiting street improvements, T'h proposition to be submitted eallz for sanction from the people for 30,000 additional paving bonds. Tlus amount will permut the eity to order paviug to the extent of some # 00, a portion at least of which can be done this full. The paving already laid in Omaha covers the principal part of the busine: portion and several thoroughfares le: ing to the country roads outside the city Jimits.

She ias reaped the bene- | fit of her enterprise and foresight, The id rise of real estate hasbeen nowhere more steady than along the streets which afford udjacent lots the bene- fits of water, gas, sewers, good grades and a solidly paved and clean strect. Every dollar swhich we haye expended in public improye- ments has come back to us twiee over in enhanced values. The fact that Omaha is to-day attracting much attention from eastern capitalists is largely due to her persistent work to make the city at- tractive, heaithy and convenient for ness and residence purposes, T arguments that were adyanced for paving two years ago hold good for a cun\ig_n anace of paving operations to-day. We cannot aflford to stand still. To lie on our oars in the race for improvement is to drift helplessly to the rear. Under our excellent paving law the cost of paving 1s distributed over a number of years, which makes the annual tax on property owners coraparatively small, Paving pays large veturns on tho invest ment. In addition it ensures employ- ment for workingmen, and with employ ment and the distribution of wages as- ts local tr: Oollege Extravagance. However wide may be the variance in views of collegiates, and of those per- s interested in the potiey and conduct of Amorican colleges, respecting the ques- tions of elective studies and of physical training and development, which have been within the past few years matters of carnest discussion, there is practical wnanimity of opinion regarding the newer and by no means less imporiant question of coliege extravagance which has re- vently forced itself upon attention, It must not be assumed that because this matter i about by college presidents and in press that it is & new evil of present-c development. Oun the contrary, 1t has always existed to a greater or less extent in the older and lurger colleges of this just now being frecly talked the country.

No proof beyond the simple statement of the t that a college student has expended ten or twelve thousand dollars a year is nec essary to demonstrate that much the greater part of this sum was wasted in wild hving, gambling, and to pay for | vices, yet there are many whose extrav ss habits cat up these [ ums annually.
