Frederick It ~WHEN voters fail to look te the senate the corporations invariably get in their work. THE house has voted to abolish the railrond commission. The senate, which as usual is uuder the control of the rail- roads, will refuse their assent. A ma- Jority of thirty-three members is easier to control than a plurality of onc hun- dred. VERMONT is said to be thoroughly alive to the worst possibilities of the contro- versy between the United States and Canada. With one regiment, one inde- pendent company, and one battery, and with no fortification whatever save from dismantled earthworks at Burlington, the Vermenters realize their helpless position. They look with discreet sus- pleion upon the rumor of sundry 80-ton nnon to be shipped from England to Canada. It is all very well for the Ottawa authorities to claim that these big guns spoken of in the dis transported over the Canadian Pacific to the western coast for the use of the British P’acific squadron. The protext is too transparent. Every Vermonter knows that it would be the casiest matter in the world to switch these guns off toward St. Albans, blow that frontier town into a million fragments and scatter it like vol- canic dust all over the state. Ir is worthy of record as evidence of the prevailing demoeratic senti- ment in New York regarding civil service reform, that when last week the question came before the legislature on a bill to repeal all the state civil service laws all but three of the democrats in the assembly voted for the measure, while the republican vote was cast solidly against it. The issue could not have been made plainer, and the re- sult must be accepted as express- ang the deliberate conviction of, the dem- ocrats of that state on this question. Governor Hill is in full sympathy with this feeling, and 1t is said the democratic wvote would have been solid had not the governor, for politic reasons, desired otherwise, ‘This is saggestive of what Mr. Cleyeland will encounter when the question of giving him a New York dele- gation 1n the next national convention is considered, provided he shall still profess devotion to civil service reform. It is the strongest evidence yot given of the in- fluence of Hill in New York, and for obvious reasons is regarded with great satisfuction by the republicans, CANADIAN advices have been meagre for some days past. Dispatches of a few days ngo to the eastern press from Otta- wa stated that the fishery question had been before the cabinet, and it was un- derstooa that some important corres- pondence from the British government was laid before the mimistry in which it is urged that imwmediate steps must be taken to settle the points in dispute. The British goyvernment is said to be anxious to reopen the treaty of 1818 before a con- yeution appointed jointly by the United States and England, This, Lord Salis- bury says, is the only way in which the matter can be settled. In the same con- nection the commissioner of customs was reported as saying that the Dominion verninent would never consent to nited States fishing vesscls entering Canada for trading purposes under the present arrangements, He says the per- _nut issued by United States collectors of © gustows to fishing vessels to allow them trade will not be recognized by the * Canadian authorities. ly the treaty ~ American fishing vessels can only enter for shielter, repairs, water and wooed, and ‘0" no uther purpose whatever, feating the Omaha charter in open oppo | | braska by | lapse | the THE OMAHA DAIL! BEE: SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 12 1887, win 'Ihhy Riek 1t? 18 the legmsiature of Nebraska, by de- sition to the expressed wishes of this community, prevared to risk the conse nees of planging Omaha into the chaos of operating under & oharter framed for a city of one-haif its popula- tion? Isit ready to decide that the per- interests of a few residents are mount to those of 80,000 citizens? In the face of a popular sentiment and | public meetings is it prepared to voice the will of n aker's dozen of editorial howlers and railroad cappers in order to punish the metropolis of Ne- depressing values, bloeking public improvemerts and inaugurating financial panic whose cffects will be felt in every city and village of this broad state? Does it deem 1t policy for the sake of personal revenge or private pique to start a reaction i values whieh cannot ail to be disastrous not only to Omaha but to every community which is allied to itin the bonds of commercial interest? These are questions which the senate and house, beset by 1obbyists, besieged by drunken adyenturers and assailed by false statements and specions argnments, will do well to consider betore arriving adecision on the passage of the Omaha irter now before them for considera tion. The defeat of the Omaha charter will inevitably result in the col- of the ‘“boom’ 1n outside estate which is sustained by hope of reaping the benclits of the extension of the eity limits and of ity improvements, Without such muni- cipal benefits values cannot be main- tained. In the ubsence of enlarged powers for houlevards, parks and added paving, curbing and grading districts settlement in the outlying additions will never mater A reaction will cer- tainly set in which will be felt by every foot of property within as well as with- out tho.city limits. Does the legislature re to wreck Omaha? This is the real ng Differences. In the United States senate a few days ago, when the sundry civil appropria- tion bill was brought forward for debate, two senators who are popularly regarded as authorities on national finance made statements respecting the treasury sur- plus so widely at variance as to chal- lenge attention. Early in the session Mr. Morrill made a set speech in advocacy of his joint resolution deprecating proposed legislation for the reduction of the reve- nue, in which he maintained that not only would there be no surplus, but on the contrary, according to the figures of the treasury, there would be a deficit of over twenty-four million dollars. In the t debate, Senator Allison, reasoning from the same premises and quoting the me authority, made out that the sur- would not exceed fifteen million s after allowing twelve to thirteen millions for the Mexican and dependent pension bills. Mr. Beek, however, reached a very different result, contend- ing that the surplus would be at least ninety million dollars. These senators mako a special stady of financial affairs, they have all the figures necessary to ne- curate information at command, and they must be supposed to understand the responsibility that attaches to their pub- lic utterances on this subject. Such 1ance of opinions, involving a difference of from $65,000,000 to $115,000,- 000, cannot but mystify the people who rely upon their representatives to do the figuring and state the result correctly, nor is a much clearer understanding to be had by referring to the opinions of de- partiment experts, whose estimates from an actual deficit of twenty or thirty millions to a surplus of $125,000,000, How are such differences possible with inzelli- gent men having exactly the same figures and facts upon which to make their e mates? Where honestly made they are casily explained by the fact that any two men may judge differently regarding the probable extent of unknown expenditures, as for new pension legislation, and may also be at varianee respecting the amount of revenue to be expeeted, aithough when this is granted it is hardly credible tl any two men secking what they deemed to be an honest result could get so far apartasMorrill, or even Allison,and Beck. There must be some very strong motive to explain the wide difference of opin- 10n between these senators, all of them well informed regarding the national finances, on the very important question of the probable surplus. So far as Mr. Morrill is concerned, he made his motiy very clear last December, when he en- deavored to get an expression from con- gress adverse to tarift reduction. Mr, Al- lison did not muke it clear that his figurcs were dictated by a similar motive, but the direction of his sympathies is well understood. It is due to him to say that he admitted that the sinking fund appro- priation had become obsolete, thus estab. lishing a surplus of $48,000,000, which added to the $15,000,000 he estimated would make the total $63,000,000—an ad- mission drawn from him by a question. In a word, these senators would convince the people that the ne- ities of the government require the maintenance of the tariff duties, and it is with this end in view that their estimates and computations are made. Thepcople are rapidly losing contidence in them. Having had the same story repeated to them year after year, while the surplus has kept on growing, they have ample reason to doubt it now and to question the candor aud honesty of the men who are using it. Other Lands Than Ours, From London comes the report that Bismarek is seriously determin whether the septennate is elaimed he bas evidence of an attempt on the part of France only two months #20 to form an alliance with Russia and blot Germany from the map of Europe, and that the only reason the entire French army is not now on the frontier 1s the fact that her overtures were re- jected. Nearty 100,000 of the German re- serves have been called out, ostensibly to practice with the new repes ifle, but really to be in readiness for active ser- vice. There 1scertainly no reason for such vast military preparations as Ger- many is now making, unless she intends to invade France. There is not the least danger that France will assume the ag- ssive, as the French people seem almost unanimous for peace, Auother significant feature m the situa- tion is an article in the London Standard, which 1s the organ of the British minis- try, taking the ground that while Eng laud will continue to guarantee the indo- pnndom-r of lh»lzmm. this may not pre- clude the passage of troops through the territory, The plan of Bismarck may be to push the German army through Bel- gium and attack France from an unex pected quarter. He would thus avoid the neces: midable of the French fortressesin front, and otherw ecure certain strategie ad- vantages which Boulanger would be un- able to counteract. In the meantime, England, too, is bestirring herself. 1t 1s said her agents are now en route for this country with orders to purchase a large number of Iry and artillery horscs, Kentucky being the principal point from which they propose to gather them. *" The plan of Prince Bismarck to secure the support of those Catholics in the reichstag known as the center by making concessions to the vatican is developing very curiously. The announcement of the chancellor that the May laws would be materially modified in a way to be less oppressive to the priests was ro- sponded to by a letter of Cardinal cobini to the papal nuncio at Munich, siring the center to stand by the govern- ment. ‘The eagerness of the prince for immediate help seews to blind him to the broader results. e has many followers in lus ranks whose party loyalty is con- ditioned upon that very spirit of selt-re- linnce that gaye birth to the May laws. These conservative protestant politiciuns look with astonishment upon the very shadow of a Canossa in the position of the iron chancellor, and content them- selves with an uncordial silence by re- membering that Bismarck's relenting at- titude toward Rome is but a strategic movement upon a field of battle.

Had the Italians been con- tent to hold their seaport of Massowah and make no venture invo the interior on the wild supposition that the Abyssimans could be relied on to fight, they might eventually have reaped commercial ad- vantages, but the lust of conquest misled them and now pride compels a further sacrilice. *' Mr. Parnell has moved his amendment to the address in reply to the queen's speech in the British hou: t common: and his speech in support of it showe no evidence of loss of hope in the out- come of the present struzgle, nor of ora- torical pow Mr, Parnell’s specches are decidedly English . their method, but un-English in logie. His candor even mmounts to coldiess, and the near- est approach to eloquent warmth was age inspired by the doctrine of co-operation in the government of Ireland, *If they would give lreland power to do for herself what England seemed to have neither the wish nor power to do,” exclaimed the nationalist aad would show by her laws, t mq\lllll.y‘nnl Dro; ity, how unfairly she had been treated in the past, and how unjust was the assertion that the Irish were not a law-abiding people.” ** Little Belgium begins to see thatin event of another Franco-German w will have to depend for salvation upon own exertions. The IFrench frontier s so strongly fortified that the lmlnmn army would find its easic through King Leopold’s marck would use it and trust to luck and pluck to save Germany from the conse- quences of so gross a violation of the rights of a neutral power of solcmn trea- ties. England would s ely do more than protest, and Russia would probably be too busy in the east to interfere. But Belgium alone may muake even Germany think twice before invading her territory. Such action would virtually convert that country into an active aund bitter enemy of Germany and an ally of France for the rest of the war, and 5,500,000 Belgians might easily turn the scale 12 a close and doubtful strugele. They are good fight- ors, and the Belgian army is eflicient and strong, both in numbers and equipment, for a state of no greater size. ward Blake, thé Canadian liberal who will in all probability beat Sir John A.

LAMAR, Acceptance of the Unanimous Call to an Omaha Pastorate, A few weeks ago the First Baptist church of this city extended to Rev. Dr. A.W. Lamar a unanimous call to the pastorate of the church. In response to the call Mr. Lamar visited the church to look the field over, and on the 80th ult. preached twice to large audiences. His sermons made such favorable impressions on his audiences th the church was convinced of the wisdom of its action in extending the call. Many who do not belong to the congregation came forward and oftered financial a: nce to the ofticers of the church, provided Mr. La- mar conld be secured. ' Many of the pro- fessional and business men not belonging to the denomination, who heard his elo- quentsermons, called on Mr. Lamar during his short stuy. and expressed their wishes s0 strongly, urging Mr. L. to accept and become en of Omaha, that he fvlt it his duty to acquiesce. week Mr. Lamar returned to Me mp]m and laid the whole mutter before ms church, who with gr reluctance then accepted his resignation, and yes- terday Dr. O. Wood received a iele- gram_intimating his acceptance of the call of the church here. As o result there is great joy in Baptist cireles in sccaring 50 able and talented a gentlemen, and their joy is shared by hundreds ontside ll|t'|r(memm\lmn, who met Mr. Lamar while here, and some who had the pleas- ureof nis acquaintance in years gone by. The time of his arrival is ‘not definitely known, Plain to n' hie Students.

The prices of admission will be $1, §2, £3 and #4, according to the choice of loca- tion. Some of the seats in the gallery will be sold as high as §3. A ridiculous rumor is afloat that the Exposition association intends to con- struct boxes about the sides of the gallery for this especial oceasion. The directors say that there is no foundation whatever for the report. It is belicved that at these low prices the exposition building will be literally packed. the Scale of A Pauper's Grave, A young man named George B, ard died yesterday at the poor house, He had been ill two months with quick con- sumption, His gister, his only surviving relative, lives in Beloit, Wis.” She tele- graphed that she would' pay the express charges upon his remains to that point but was unable to pay for the casket in which to_enclose them.
