The fair grounds will have to be enlarged noxt year. ThE fourteen hundred regular troops at the reunion camp are decidedly the @reatest attraction, from the standpoint of a casual observer. THE piloneer volunteer firemen of Omaha will compare favorably with the weteran firemen of New York, and that 38 saying a good deal. Tar naval engagement upon Cut-Off lake attracted thousands of people. It was a brilliant success in that—alone, ‘There were too many horse marines piloting the rebel craft. —_— SINCE the 1nvestigation at Castle Gar- den in New York an order has been given out that no more fees are to be exacted from the immigrants. The order is &ood one. The next thing isto enforce it. No matter who is responsible for the organization of our police at the fair and Feunion camp, a close ohserver will be compelled to admit that no like o in the history of Omaha has enjoye wvigilant and effective police protection. —— IN most cities the buttonholing, the whisperings in the ear of pothouse poli- ticians are mostly carried on in their con- genial haunts, the saloons—not so here. The council chamber, which should be the political sanoturary of our people, has been turned into a jobbing-house of corruption by the whispering gang which has been allowed to infest 1t. AEEES— ‘Tne farmers of Frio county, Texas, aro 4n a despcrate condition and have issued #n appeal for aid to tho public at large. Xt secms as though Texas is large enough snd wealthy enou zh to aid such of its ©itizens as are in need of help. Each Mstate should look after its own poor. The sppeal to the general public is defensi- lble only in case of extraordinary calam- tios. SIXTY-EIGHT railroads have reported An increase of nearly ten per cent in gheir earnings, for August, over the earnings for August last year. This ahows, not only that the roads have mbated nothing in their extortions, but mlso the more plensing fact that there BDas been arevival in the activity of trade. Xt is expected that the fall and winter months will show a sull greater activity. WhEN Gould said some months ago that he intendod to retire from active business those who knew him were sure that something was going to happen, snd several things have come to pass. Cyrus Field, squeezed out of several ul- lions, knows Gould has not retired from sctive business. The Baltimore & Ohio has been sold. Now comes the announce- dment that the Mackay cable line will +80%h be absorbed by the iinancial oc- gopus. No, Mr. Goald has not retired. Bap faith on the part of the council- men was the canse of tho police muddle #nd bad faith has maintainea 1t. The police commission, it is well enough to geiterate, submitted rules for their guid- snoe to the aldermen as soon as they had gaken the oath of office and organized, s required by law. The council has not moted on them up to date. The law re- :lnrfl that they should either approve or lisapprove of such regulations, Hence ghey are lawbreakers and the conse- guences are already serious. It ought to be an easy matter to deal properly with lawbreakers. Tue combine between Cadet Tay- Jor and McShane has been from ghe beginuning to get the city advertising. The plun was that Cadet only should bid first, get the printing if possible and hold §t by fair means or foul. Failing in this the Herald was to got it and hold it mntil everybody was worn out.

O% vk THE How 1t Paye. A public market is not only an institu- tion of convenience and advantage to the people, as we have more than once pointed out, but may be made a source of generous revenue to the city, as can be shown by the experience of every con- siderable city in which such markets are established. A suggestive and instruc- tive example 18 at hand in the case of Cieveland, €., which with a population of perhaps 240,000 has three publiec mar- krts. The Leader of that eity, in a late issue, says: *‘The public markets are probably the most profitable convenience in the hands of the municipal govern- ment. The market tund is almost in good condition financially, and is habit- ually drawn upon to help out the other departments. The committee on markets and the city auditor are just now in the midst of their annual sale of market privileges. On Monday the West Side market sale occurred, and $16,674.50 was received as pi jums. The produce and curb stands at the Central market were auctioned off on Tuesday, netting $20,- 150 in preminms. The highest premium pard was $920, and was for a curb stand. Last year the meat stalls at the Central market sold for $33,000 premium.” There 1s always a very active competion for these market privileges, as the above figures denote, and the markets, all of which are too all, might be doubled in size with the certainty that every stall and every foot of space would be taken at liberal premiums. The exverience with these markets is that while they are patronized by all classes they are es- pecially serviceable to the middle and poorer classes. They are always crowded with buyers, and particularly so in the carly hours of the day by those who want the pick of the vegetables and fruits. The influence of tincse markets upon the vrices of commodities is unquestionably to keep them down to where the seller realizes a reasonable profit. The active competition compels this. A dealer whose articles are espeeially choico may make his own price and get it, but there is an average of values established by competition, which allows simply a fair profit, and these determine, to a large extent, the prices at the groceries throughout the city. As good quality of meats can be had at the butcher’s stalls asin the shops, and uniformly at one and two cents less a pound. Everything offered for sale 18 fresh, for there is not only a svstem of careful inspection, but the influence of competition asserts it- self as well in this matter as others. The dealer whose articles were not up to the standard would be very sure to have them left in s hands, and these is an eagre strife among sellers to attract buyers and establish them in favor. Itis a struggle in which tho principal of the survival of the fittest is not wholly absent. ‘Thereis not the slightest reason why the the experience of Omuha with a public market should not be in all respects as favorable as has been that of Cleveland and other cities which have these insti- tutions, and which under no circum- stances could be induced to abandon them. Such a market here, centrally lo- cated and open at least three days in the week, would be fully occupied by sellers, who from the start would give suflicient for the privileges to pay a generous m- terest on the outlay and repay to the city treasury annually a part of the princi- pal. As the city grew the de- mand for privileges would increase and the premiums advance, until within a few years tte cost of the mar- ket houses would be fully repaid to the city and these institutions would there- after yield a generous revenue above the cost of maintaining them. Meanwhile the whole people would be benelitted in the recuced cost of lLiving, which is one of the essentinl conditions to the futurc prosperity of the city. A public market is thus scen to have every consideration 1 its favor, and another year shou.d not be permitted to pass without this needed and important addition to the public im- provements of Omaha, The Tariff and Manufacturers. It is a mistake to suppose that all the manufacturers of the country are in fa- vor of maintaming the tariff. It has been very distinctly shown during the past year or so that such is not the cage. In both the woolen and cotton industries, for example, there are manufacturers who think the time has come when it would be to the advantage of the coun- try if the tariff wero reduced, and there are still other industries which it is be- leved by the more intelligent of those engaged in them could not only continue without the aid of tariff protection, but successfully and more advantageously compete with similar foreign industries inthe markots of the world if the tariff as it affects them were cut down. These are the manufacturers who have found that so-called protection no longer protects;, but does operate as a barrier agamst their products in other markets, and who believe that American skill and enterprise can safely be de- pended upon to take care of itself with the excellent foundation 1t now has with- out further artiticial stimulus and unnat- ural support. ‘Che manufacturers who do not admit this, and they are doubt. the majority, are those who have grown up and pros- pered under the existing order of things s0 that it has become an essential part of their faith, just as strongly possess- ing them as any tenet of their re- ligion that was implanted while they were in the cradle, and has become firmly rooted in their minds. Tney cannot seriously contemplate any proposition for a change without a feeling that they are doing violence to something that has & sacred claam upon them. The refuse to give any attention to those who tell them that the conditions of trade and business have been undergoing great changes in the last dozen years, and are now very dilferent in certain important respects from what they were when the tariff policy was instituted twenty-five years ago and for a number of years subse- quent to its adoption. They admit, be- cause they must, such probable facts as the enormous surplus and its steady accumulation and they know this comes Liefly from th tarifl, but they insist that some other way must be formed of dealing with this problem than by attacking the sa- cred policy of protection. It is going to take further time and ef- fort to weaken the bold of fanaticism, but it will bave to be done. The welfare of the country and justice to the people require it, Meanwhile those manufac~ turers who are not indissolubly; wedded to the tariff idol, and have the wisdom to sie the necessities of the situation and the incvitablo tendeneies cannet better employ themselves than in lending their experience and judgment to the cause of revenue revision and reform so that it may be accomplished with the least possible shock to any interest and with reference to the general welfare, Enforce the Contract. The contract for the city hall busement provides that the work shall be com- pleted according to plans and specifica- tions by the 1st day of July, 1887. When that contract was entered into, nearly a year ago, it was thought that the board of publie works had granted too much time to the contractor. It could have been built last fall, or pushed far enough to complete the job by the 1st of May. But the contractors, Regan® Bros., as- signed theit contract to another party, and he dilly-dallied along until now, two months and a half beyond the Limit, and at his pace it will take two months longer to complete the basement. For more than two weeks past, he has not done a stroke of work on this build- ing, and it looks as if he does not intend to resume work unless allowed to put in lime-stone in place of sand-stone, us required by the contract. Now, it seems to us that the board of public works will be justitied in having the work com- pleted according to specifications by some other builder. and charging the excess of cost, if any, to the con- tractor and his bondsmen. The city has certainly been very patient and lenient. The delay which has been caused already may retard the completion of the build- ing six months or a year. The centract with the county for occupancy of the basement of the court house will expire next summer, and the city may have to vazate. Inany event tho city is at a great expense for rent, Its officers are inconvenienced and its records are ex- posed to five risk, [t 13 time that some decisive action be taken to enforce the contract, WHILE the citizens of Omaha may be proud of the city's enterprise and pro- gress, they must still hang their heads in shame over the blot an her fair name— the working m Other citics have purged them: similar evils. By concerted action among our best citizens we can also wipe out our city's disgea Other Lands Than Ours. The political situation in England has presented no new features during the vast week. The government position regarding the National league is main- tained, while the proscribed organization shows no disposition to abate its activ- 1ty. If not aggressively zealous in pro- moting she ends it aims to accomplish, it omits no epportunity to let the world know that it ssili has existence, virility and courage. Its chief labors at present are directed to the alleviation of the evicted tenants and to counteract the efforts of the landlords at extermi- nation. The land act has al- ready vroved of some service, a num- ber of tenants in Ponsonby, against whom eviction proceedings had been mstituted being found to be protected by the provisions of the act. %" England seems likely to have a good dea! of trouble with the irresponsible Atghan leader, Ayoub Khan, before he is once more safe inside a British strong- hold. Russia apparently is indifferent to the pretender’s movements, but in reality is keenly watehing developments. Eng- land may well fecl uneasy, as there is no shrewder schemer than Ayoub. The fact that his sympathies are with the Russians, instead of calming, rather adds to Eng- land’s nervousness over the situation. An invasion by Ayoub would be too direct a threat to English interests in India to be indifferently set asido En- gland; and another war in eastern Asia would precipitate events which have been held back by a mere thread for yoars. Russia would proceed agninst the Balkans, and Germany against Frouce. Sueh an upheaval would result in Europe as has not been seen since the Napoleon. Ayoub is now said to be so- liciting aid to overrun Afghamstan, * * Regarding the appointment of Mr. Chamberlain to represent England on the fisheries commission, there 1s good authority for saying that he is not gomg to Washington as the atiorney for Can- ada. Canada may send her own at- torney, and doubtless will, but an Eng- lishman of the first rank in English pub- lic life is not likely to actin that capacity. Mr. Chamberlain goes out in the hope that the commission will be able to agree on terms honorable to both countries and beneficial to both. Lt is perfectly obvious that he stakes some part of his great reputation on the success of his mission. He is not going in order to drive a sharp bargamn, He starts in a spirit of great friendliness to America, English fecling on this subject is not identical with Canadian feeling. The foreign office is obliged to argue with more or less zeal the Canadian case, buv what it really wants is to arrive at a national understanding. Mr. Chamber- lain is not a foreign oflice man, but is the impersonation of the spirt which aims at friendly relations between Eng- land and America. There is no publie man in England who has stronger sym- pathy with Americans or greater admira- tion for American mstitutions, He goes, of course, as the English represeutative and will uphold English interests, but he expresses no opinion on the points st issue batween America and Canada. The question 18 & ncw one to him, but he would not have undertaken this mission unless with the conviction that a settle- ment was practicable and probable, * e Tho relations between Germany and Russin are such as may at any time de- velop into o serious misunderstanding. The organ of the German government, in an article believed to have been in- spired, recently said that the ‘‘duty im- posed by Germany's policy, in the inter- est of the empire and its dignity, is to maintain peace so long as it is compati- ble with honor. The starting point of an endeavor 1n this direction is found only on grouud covered by treaties. The circumstance that the otherwise success- ful peace poliey of the German govern- meat has for three summers past been disturbed by Bulgaria and its prince 1s not calculated to attract the good-will of (German politicians towards that princi- pality. It accords with the interests of the loving and go less straight- torv-z German n lo‘n that Germany should in the councls of throw her whole* weight into the wscale in order to have Europe command peace to ambitious Bulgarian princes and minister who are nclined i3 set the eontinent ablaze. Germany holds fismly to the treaties which were broken By the i'sinces of Co- burg and Battenberg, net for the sake of pleasing other powets, but out of regard for her own signature. For frivolity the peace of Europe was placed at stake through the Coburg-Orleans enterprise. There is not even a sembiance of an ex- ouse for that enterprige, and it is only to be explained on the'understanding that the Coburger1s the executor of an ex- clusively Orleanist :mllcy." Europe The determination of the Emperor iam to abandon his proposed visit to Kenigsberg, where he was to meet the cz is said to have been due entirely to ihe repre- sentations of his medical advisers, wiic have all along been opposed to his vent- uring to attend the Konigsberg manau- vers, which would involve great fatigue under the best possible conditions. And they well know that the emperor, once in the field, passes beyond the guidance of his physicians and exposes himself with little thought for the results. This bappened at Kiel and caused a physical crisis. The most recent stance of the emperor's imprudence was at the review of the guards, when he remained threo hours standing and exposed to the sun and wind, but without appearing to feel any evil effects. Afterward, however, he was hardly able to be present at the banquet in the schloss, and his fall after the banquet was undoubtedly due to increased feebleness arising from over-exertion. When he recovered his feet, without assistance, he expressed the fear that his doctors would take advant- age of the mishap and wmake 1t a pretext to dissuade him from going to the mo- nwuvres. Communications from the crown prince urgently supported the opinion of the doctors, and their advice was also further fortified by revresenta- tions from Count von Moltke and Prince Bismarck, It was only after Count von Moltke's visit to the emperor that it be- came known that the journey to Konigs- berg was off. The political aspect of af- fairs will not be changed by the aban- donment of the meeting with the czar. The oflicial press has rightly insisted on the vurely personal and family character attaching to the intended meeting. * #*x The Bulgarian question has undergone no important change. (it is still evident that Russiu proposes to settle the matter in ker own way and is not only solicitous that the powers interested inthe Berlin treaty shall keep their hands off in case she undertakes to seftle it. Leaving out of consideration the probable action of Austria, Russia might be warranted in assuming the non-interférence of powers. England has the engrossing Irish ques- tion on her hands, ‘and will probably venture no further than the expression of an idle wishin the Times ‘*‘that the present experiment may ‘not be marred by dictatorial meddlipg.”” As 1ts mar- ring 18 certain, Wwe may account the wish simply the flling of a weak protest for record’s sake. Turkey can do little, and in a semi-oflieinl utterance the Porte has intimated that 1t cannot fairly be expected te do anything. The official organ at Constantinople, the Tarik, has acknowledged the receipt by the Porte of a protest from the Russian government against the validity of the elestion of Prince Ferdinand. The Zarik admits the legality of Russia’s protest on the ground that the treaty of Berlin states that all the powers must unani- mously consent. The article continues that the Ottoman government has from the beginning conscientiously fulfilled its obligations, and if peace be not now maintained jt wiil be universally ac knowledged that the responsibility falls on the real disturbers. This is the best approved fashion of washing its hands of responsibility and notifying Prince Ferdinand that he must take care of himself. The prince elect has made up his mind todo so, in case he can get no one but the Bulagarians to help him. He has heavily msured his 1ife in order that his death should benefit somebody besides his enemies. But though daring the worst, he still looks with hope toward Austria. True, the im- perial government has cleared its skirts by securing his retirement from the Hun- garian landwehr before he started on his adventurous journey, but it cannot fairly be supposed to frown upon his attempt to mrintain & most usefur bulwark for the empire. Tt will be doubtless be glad to note his success in maintaining bhim- self on the throne, and may venture to seize a pretext for interference. It so, the prince may hold his principality until Kurope is forced to interfere and a wide- spread war follows. * e M. Stambuloff, who is the mainstay of Prince Ferdinand in Bulgaria, and the real head of the administration, as prime minister is not to be hoodwinked by the provisional-govtrnor proposition of Rus- sia. Ae has said that if Genedal Ernroth enters Bulgaria as a visitor, he will be hospitably received, but not otherwise. As long as this minister is in power, the ng of the frontier. by a Russian invader means war, and will be the signal for armed resistance. Conilict seems hopeless' regarding the relative strength of thie contestants, but the Bulgarians can put an, army in the field which 18 by no means to be despised and will make a plucky stand. They will be tighting at their homes and for their homes and freedom, hnd under such con- ditions even weaklings fight well. The coveted principality may cost the czar more than it is worth, and perhaps all his sacrifice of money and men will be wasted. For more improbable things have happened than the intervention of Austria and the repulse of the Russian armies. " The political fight between the liberal and clerical parties in Mexico is becom- g animated, the Maximilian incident serving as additional provocation, The Monitor Republicano published last week a leading article about alleged plots of the clergy against republican institu- tions. It says there appears to be a well- formed plan to destroy in Mexico the precious achievement of religious liberty, and charges that the higher as well as the lower class of the clergy 1s constantly preaching a crusade against religious tol- erance as enjoined by the constitution of the country. Italsb charges that tisin- OMAHA DATLY BEE: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1887, tolerance displayed in the persecutions of the people who hold liberal views, is the chief eause of thers being no influx of foreign immigration 1nto the country, and says: ‘It is feared with reason that the clergy contemplate repeating on Mexican soil the horrible atrocities of St. Bartholomew's Day in France.”” These utterances ave regardad as expressing the sentiments of the advanced wing of the hberal party, which is opposed to tho slightest concession to the clericals, “ e The Pope is extremely economical and thrifty. A Rome paper says that the cost of his dinner is a scudo (80 cents). He takes with it half a glass of claret, which he has so far ordered of a Roman wine- dealer, but even this expense is to be cur- tailed, as he last year planted grapes in his Vatician gardens, which promise au abundant yield for the nceds of his table.

De- spondency is given us the cause of her death. Down at Muscatine an exceedingly novel and peculiar accident occurred Sunday morning which fortunately was not serious in its efiocts. A man was eating nuts on s wuy home from church and had just put his knife in his pocket when a flash of lightning accom- panied almost simultaneously with a loud clap of thunder occurred and he was observed to fall. He attompted to arise but immediately fell again. Several men rushed to his assistance and found him unconcious, his face all drawing up ex- posing his teath, and his eye-balls working with a peculiar motion. They believed him dead and carried him home where he was rubbed and restoratives administered. He continued unconscious until Monday morning.

The flash- ing of the lightting was incessant, and the roar of the thunder simply deafening. As each flash lit up the dim recesses of the cages the eye lighted upon the savage form behind the bar: He was a lion standiog up with Ins ears pricked, as though the clamor of the elements brought back to his mind dim memories of a time when he 1 ‘owled the forest and shrunk from the savagery, greater even than his own, of a tropical storm. Two leopards who had been snarling at at one another appeared to bury the hatchet in presence of the mysterions flashes which ever and anon blinded their tierce eyes; and their demeanor evinced a certain mutual conciliatoriness. Yor the most part the animals lay perfectly mo- tionless about their dens.

In the next cage a and tigress whose course of true love did not appear to run smoothly, to judge from the nasty snaps of the lady when her mate attempted to rub his nose on her shoulder, were completely subdued by the crashing and flashing which was going on around them, and they couched down in opposite corners, with every appearance of terror. When a slight cessation in the rain storm em- boldened the ke s to drive us forth into the horrors of the mght, 1t was with some feeling of relief that I left this par- ticu'ar refuge, for the thonght woul«{ in- trude itself that if by chance a bolt were to strike down a wall there, my four- footed friends would be very disagreea- ble companions in the dark. —— Soldiering. Chicago Prtbunc: An ex-soldier was telling his experience afew days ago. “‘Do you want to know,” he asked, “why it is that so many soldiers desert from the army? Nearly one-thira of the army deserts every year, and there are 12,000 court martials every twelve months, and this, remember, in' an army that doesn't consist of many more than 20,000 men when the ranks are pretty full. \\'vll‘ the reason so many desert is that they are treated more like dogs than men—no, not like dogs, for I would rather be an oflicer's dog than a musket carrier—and never receive any consideration what- ever. That's why a better class of men don't join the army, I don’t kick on the pay & common soldier gets—$13 a month and clothes and grub is more than many a man with a family to sup- port gets—but the things "a pri- vate puts up with are to hard to bear, and its a wonder that fifty officers ain't shot every year by their men. Of course the officers will deny that there is any brutality in the army, but it's there all the same, and the men would rather, a good deal, be sent to the military prison at Fort Leavenworth than severe in ranks—that 1z a good many of them. Why, a private dares not speak to his superior ofticer, a young cad just out of West Point, without per- mission. There is too much of the Eng- lish snobbery in our army. Outside the English our army 18 the exclusive ariloeracy in the world. It's mostly made up of an oflicers now, anyhow, there being an officer to every eight men or so. Its nearly as top-heavy asthe navy and about as nseless. It supports a lot of lazy loafers and that's about ull its good for. There's good menin the army, of courae but there's nothing for them to do but draw their pay. Perhaps you think I'm alittle bitter, but then yon must remember that I served tive yoars in the ranks—which is worse than five years in Joliet any time.”’ e A granger from Des Moincs, In. named Jones eame in from the weat yesterday minus of suit of clothes.
