Wiggins predicts a green Christmas, Tie authors of the country have begun their attack on congress for an international copyright law with much more vigor than is shown in their books. Tne sidewalk inspector is still draw- ing his $100 a month with great regu- larity, but nobody is able to discover any improvements in the sidewalks. IT may be a blessing in disguise that our natural gas well has not material- ized. Over at Findlay, O.,a dwelling house was blown te pieces by a natural gas explosion and its occupants killed and maimed. A VERY strange thing occurved in New York this week. The clerk of a civil court resigned a $3,000 position volyntarily because he could not devote all his time to the office on account of private bhusiness. He should be made o saint in the political calendar. TuE prohibitionists evidently helieve that the early bird catches the distill- ers’ worm. Their mational convention will eonvene on June 6 at Indianapolis, Indiana. They are thus in advance of the republicans and will also probably lead the democrats. CnicAGo has been troubled over the gas question for a long time, but now sho has ovidently struck a bonanza. An engine pumping water from Lake Mich- igan has suddenly begun to pump gas which is odorless and burns. The dis- covery, however, was made inabrewery, and is therefore alittle beery. day was duly cele- brated with elaborate banquets and flow of soul, to say nothing of anything stronger, in various parts of the coun- try on December 22, In New York the New England society indulged in n Delmonico feast that must have caused the mouths of the spirits of the pilgrims who starved at Plymouth rock to water. AT the last meeting of the council an ordinance was introduced by Council- man Lee authorizing the city to compel the grading of lots and grounds adja- cent to any street or alley which project morg thon six fect above the street. It is to be hoped that this ordinance will pass. Ifit is too sweeping its opera- tion might be restricted to the paved streets. e— THE evasion of customs on imported goods is said to have reached such an extent that millions of dollars are lost to the government every year. This is effected principally by undervaluations, and congress will probably pass some monsure this winter for making the col- lection of duties more exact. But the most effective method to lessen the evil will be to revise the tariff. PEOPLE who desire the golden mean in temperature as well as in geograph- ical location should dome to Nebras! Last summer when the rest of the coun- try lay broiling in the sun this state was comparatively cool and comfortable, And now while the blizzards were howl- ing north and south of us the other day we only had & “cold snap.” Next thing in order is to boom Omaha as a winter resort. — THE majority of the citizens of Omaha will be very well satisfied with a'present increase of the police force to sixty patrelmen. That number of good men, properly managed, can fully preserve order and protect the livesand property of citizens. These who demand a larger force than this will only delay the re- quired addition to the force by insisting upon their mistaken view, which it is neither necessary nor expedient to com- ply with at this time. ——— THE suggestion that the health au- thorities of this city shonld enforce proper precautions against diphtheria and other eontagious diseases is timely, There has been a great deal of reckless exposure tolerated in this city through the indifference of physicians and health officers. The ecity physician should take steps to enforce the ordiu- unces regarding contagious discases, and if the ordinunces are not stringent enough he should recommend such leg- aslation ns he deems necessary to the wayor and council, Satisfied With Their Systems. ‘When the president sent Mr. Bdward Atkinson to the money centers of Eu- rope. with instructions toascertain “the fensibility of establishing by interna- tional standard a fixity of ratio between the two precious motals in free coinnge of both.” it was very generally said that his mission would be fruitless. Mr. Manton Marble was sent abroad on a similar errand, which had no other result than to ascertain that the countries of Kurope were not then ready to make any change in their monetary systems. Similar informa- tion is contained in the report of Mr. Atkinson, gent by the president to con- gress a few days ago. He found the states of vope which he visited satisfied with their monetary tems, with no prospect of any change which can modify or influence the p ent policy of the United States. Tle did not find any encouragement for the proposition of a bi-metallic treaty pro- viding for a common legal tender, coup- led with the free coinage of silver, nor did he find the subject of bi-metalism intelligently and seriously discusscd, outside of a small circle, as a possible remedy for the existing causes of trade depression. He was unable to discover the existence of any considerable politi- cal or other organization of in- fluential persons in any European country whose objeet it is tobring about there the bi-metallic theory., Itis evi- dently as yet not a question in Europe having the vitality to attract to its dis- cussion those who have the influence to inspire or effect legislation. ith such experience, Mr. Atkinson could hardly reach any other conclusion than that the United States cannot wisely or expediently agnin take the initiative in promoting action for a gen- eral adoption of a bi-metallic legal tender, coupled with a free coin- age of silver. However desir- able such an arrangement mght be for all countri concerned in it, it would manifestly be a task beyond the ability of this country to convert Europe to the proposed policy. If a very decp-seated prejudice against bi- metalism were not to be overcome, there are other difficulties in the way which are almost insurmountable. It might be plain, after the several efforts this country has made to induce Kuropean countries to seriously consider the question of making the radical change in their mouetary system which the American plan involves, thut the matter might as well be dropped. The time may come when an inter- national arrangement, on the lines proposed by this country, will be feasible, but the indications are that it is yet far in the fuwure. That we are not likely to advance it by sending abrond special commissioners to ascer- tain Buropean sentiment on the subject seems assured, and besides the futility of such proceeding on the part of the government it has an aspect of absurd- ity. We have no doubt this country can safely and expediently wait for ove tures from European countries tor over- tures in behalf of an international mone- tary arrangement, and meanwhile it will doubtless not suffer if it shall con- tinue to shape its monetary policy with primary reference to its domestic inter- ests, and with the least possible regard for what may be the sentiment of Europe now or hereafter. E— The President Annoyed. The course of the senate judiciary committee in postponing final conside ation of Mr. Lamar’s nomination to the supreme bench until after the holiday recess, is said to have greatly annoyed Mr. Cleveland, He seems to have had the impression that the candidate would encounter very little opposition, and the fact that ht was not promptly con- firmed has probably caused the presi- dent quite as much chagrin as it has Mr. Lamar. Mr. CleVeland had no warrant for his confidence in an immediate confirma- tion if he gives any attention to the utterances of the press. He ought to have .learned from this source that there is a very large and influen- tial opinion in the country unfavorable to placing Mr. Lamar on the supreme bench, for cogent reasons that have been very clearly and fully stated. There is not a man in the country, eligible to this position, to whom there are stronger objections than lie against Mr. Lamar, and if Mr. Cleveland did not choose to see these when they were distinctly - pointed out to him, he has no right to complain be- cause other men having a constitu- tional duty to perform, and one which has direct relation to the security and integrity of the fundamental law, would not shut their eyes to these objections. There can be no question that the re- publican members of the judiciary com- mittee, in exercising their right of in- quiry and caveful deliberation in the case of Mr, Lamar, have pursued the proper course. They have shown a just regard for the highest judicial position in the nation, and a patriotic concern for the safety of its entirety of the con- stitution, and every citizen who is de- sirous that no political heresies shall in- vade the supreme tribunal, to become an influence in interpreting the fundu- mental law, will approve their action. They have made a precedent that can- not fail of good effect hereafter, what- ever may be the outcome respecting Mr, Lamar. The ‘supreme judiciary must be above all sectional doctrines and partisan influence. —— . The Hotel Project. That Omaha is in need of greater hotel facilities is an indisputable fact. 1t is still an open question whether the city’s interests would be better served by the erection of a magnificent hotel structure, with the capacity of the West house at Minneapolis, or two buildings of more moderate protensions. We be- lieve Omaha has reached a stage of growth that demands and justities a great fire-proof hotel building. wch a ‘structure, located on one of our t thoroughfaves, will receive substantial encouragement. While the corner of Twenticth and F nam is at this time still several blocks from the business center, we n con- fidently ussert that twice as much bonus can be raised for that location as for any other. The only question now is, whether Mr. Hitcheock means busi- ness, or whether he is sim- ply seeking to advertise himself and his paper. 1 he is in dead earnest let him make a tangi- ble proposition in writing. Omaha is just now in the right mood for the en- terprise and public spirited citizens are ready to make libernl subscriptions to insure the building of o grand hotel. If Mr. Hitcheock is not in earnest, the sooner we know it the better. The agitation of the hotel project has gone too fur to be abandoned. E— Other Lands Than Ours. The decision to reassemble parlia- ment on February 9, two weeks earlier than had been expected, is taken as evidence that Lord Snlisbury real the extent of the discontent in the coun= try on the Irish question. The tory remedy for Irish nationalism has been applied with unexampled vigor, but the condition of that country is even more discouraging than at the adjournment. Imprisonments, evictions, the attempted suppregsion of public meetings and the interference with free discussions in the public press, have brought forth fruit after their kind. Nor has the government been true to prom- ises made to its followers. The use of the coercion act against purely political crimes which that measure created was to have been the last resort of the crown officers. As a matter of fact it was the first step in a policy of exasperation. This is the meaning of the withdrawal of Sir Thomas Grove, liberal unionist, from the government ranks. He has become a Gladstone lib- eral, and he will be followed by others if current rumors have any foundation. The signs all point to a terrible strug- gle at the opening of parliament. It is not unlikely, however, that there are other considerations than the Irish question euarlier meeting of parlinment than had been intended. Thére ave ominous in- dications that England is to be called upon to play a larger part in continen- tal affaivs than she has done for several years, and that the exigency hus become somewhat urgent, Our dispatches have very fully noted these indications, per- haps the most significant of which is the visit of Lord Randolph Churchill to St. Petersburg. The most recent utterances of Lord Salis- bury have also very plainly suggested that events are imminent which may make quite as strong a demand on Eng- lish attention as the Irish or any other domestic question which at present com- mands it. *"x All European advices of the past few days lead to the conclusion that affairs have assumed a more serious attitude than they have . presented at any other time for several months. The ex- pressions of Russian journals, and the action of the government in such mat- ters as prohibiting the exportation to Prussia of stone used in the building of forts, and refusing to permit a Prussian singer to appear in St. Petersburg, show that the feeling in Russia is very bitter. The triple alliance was a blow in the face which Russia felt most keenly, and all that has since transpired has been of a nature to aggravate her against both Germany and Austria. On her part she hasnot shown any desire to conceal the feeling that she regarded the alliance as a menace justifying precautions. It is on this ground that she expluins he®mil- itary operations on her frontier in southeastern Europe. The official paper of the government has stated as a rea- son for the massing of troops in and about Warsaw, that while, during the last five years, the peace effective of the German army has been increased 65 battalions and 384 guns, the troops of Germany on the Russian frontier have, been increased 218 battalions of in- fantry, 27 batteries of artillery and 16 squadrons of cavalry. Since 1878 that country has constructed in the easter provinces 5,850 kilometers of rai voads, so that now there are 1 ailronds by use of which troops can be promptly thrown upon the frontier, and ten junction sta- tions at which trains can be unloaded and troops rapidly concentrated. Fur- ther, at Thorn, Pozen, Dantzic and Ko- nigsberg, Germany has builg first-class fortresses, and at Grandenz she is con- structing another. The Austro-Hun- garian government, distrusting the si cerity of the declarations, hastened its preparations for the defense of Galicia —with the fortresses of Cracow and Przemysl as points of support—or, as Russia beheves or feigns to believe, for an aggressive movement. Each gov- ernment calls on the other to cease threatening, and the situation becomes threatening indeed. AustriseHungary’s fears are very natural, considering the excessive vulnerability of that unnatur- ally amalgamated empire and the griev- ous consequences of a sudden defeat, The appreheusions which Russia ex- are apparvently groundless, Austria-Hungary could not dream of invading Russia without the active par- ticipation of Germany; and what should induce Germany, with her emperor and the crown prince on the threshold of death, and in face of France armed to the teeth and burning with a desire of revenge, to embark in an enterprise of incaleulable mag- nitude and duration? But it these important preparations shall have no immediate results, except perhaps to stimulate diplomatic activity, they are vregnant with significance for the fu- ture. They are steps that are suvely leading on to a great war, which Russia will begin the moment she believes her opportunity to have come. . " French affaivs present few features of intorest. It is by no means certain that popular sentiment is cntirely satistied with the new government, but it is disposcd to be tolerant and pa- tient. There is undoubtedly a very general feeling of gratification that the wisdom and patriotismof the republi- eans boiled all iger from the mon- archical conspl but it is very likely not unmixed with a regret that the choice of a president did not fall to a man who would have given more inspi- ration to France than the practicat Car- not will perhaps be able todo. The po- litical calm that has followed the crisis which render expedient an’ has given all_an opportunity to care- fully study ¢hd situation, and it is seen that e last experience gave the republic a severe shock. The precede established is felt to be adangdrous one, and those violent and unreakoning men who are at all times numerous in French polit- ical cireles will try it on each time that they arve disc If a president must make way before a vote of the chambers, as if he were a responsible minister, rather than an irresponsible executive officer, there will be no secur- ity whatever for the office. The moment that a con strong enough to reach P Carnot can be set on foot it will be at- tempted, and some pessimists even pro- fess Lo believe that the era of dictator- ships and pronunciamentos in the style of she Spanish-American repub- lics is at hand. If the monarchists de- rive any satisfaction from the evonts of the last few weeks, it can only be be- cause they foresee squabbles over the presidency and frequent chunges in the occupancy of that high office. Mean- time those members of the Orleans fam- ily who fancied that something good for them might come out of all this must feel very sore. **u Germany has established an import duty on cereals, with retroactive effect, $0 that from now on all bonded and im- ported cereals of which stock is already taken must pay the increased duty. The customs on rye, wheat and oats alone are simply doubled, or increased from 8 marks to 6 marks per 100 kilos in the case of the two former, and from 1.50 marks to 8 marks in the case of the lat- ter. Barley, which now Dbrings in ) marks, is to yield 2. which is, howeve, less than what is demanded by the landlords and the agravians. The tax on other imports of an agricultural character, and even on articles of food, is to be correspondingly raised. So that the German-Chinese wall of protection is now considered sufficiently high to shut out American and Russian products. Like the present so-called British fair-traders, thew German prototypes originally claimed that they ngeded but a mark or two of duty to protect the farming interest of the fatherlund. But this is actually the third time, since the introduction of the German protective tariff of 1879, that the grain and provision duties of that country have been raised. » e Late reports of the inundations in China give appalling descriptions of the ruin and desolation wrought. The great plain of northeastern China? nearly six hundred miles long and densely populated, is crossed by three large rivers, the Yang-tse-Kiang, the Yellow and the;:Pei-Ho, and suffers from the inundatfons of all, but most from those of thd¥ellow, expressively termed ‘‘China’s Horrow.” This is one of the great riversof the globe, having a course of much more than 2,000 miles, Risingin Thibet, its eastward rush isab- ruptly turned north by a mountain bar- rier into Mongolia,but only toshift there again and take a long southerly reach. Its tortuous flow is directed by turns to all points of the compass, making almost islands of portions of land hemmed in by its windings. Its rapid current de- fied up-stream- navigation until of late yoars American and European steamers were built -expressly for it and the Yang-tse-Kiang. At some points the Hoang-Ho passes between ridges and gorges which bring is surface above the great plateau through which it winds. 1t traverses also regions of yellow loam, cutting out a channel and carrying part of the sediment through to the Hong-Hai or Yellow sea. But a great part of the undermined banks which tumble in are deposited by it further down on its own shores, and thus it can be seen how this weakening of the banks in some places and increase in others, taken in connec- tion with the turbulence of the stream, imperil the dense population in its basin. The present reported inunda- iion of eleven cities, sweeping across 7.000 square miles, turning a populated plain into a lake from ten to thirty feet deep, and making millions of people homeless, is, if not exaggerated, proba- bly the most ruinous of the many calam- ities it has caused. Railroad Notes. SUBURBAN TRAINS, Beginning with Tuesday morning next the Union Pacific will add two extra trains to the suburban service, especially for the ac- commodation of the workingmen at South Omaha stock yards. There will be six cars on these trains. The train will lcave Omaha at6:15a. m.,, run around the *Y” at South Omaha to the Anglo American, Armour's, Swift's and Hammond's packing houses. These six cars have all been remodeled and the interiors made comfortable by placing stoves in diagonal corners with long seats arranged on each side the full lengtn of the car, and a double seat through the middle. ‘These two trains will be used onlyas a work- ing man’s accommodation, on which the fare ill be 50 cents for the ten ride tickets, good v days. If the fare is paid on the train, however, it will be 10 cents each way, the same as on any other train. These trains will be run on the side tracks at both ter- minal points_in plenty of time to accommo- date the workingmen and get them to their business on time. SENATOR JONES AND PAMILY.

HARRY'S TRIBULATIONS, Expericnces of a Young Russian in Getting Married. The patfence and even temper of Marriage License Clerk Long were sorely taxed Thurs- day and yesterday by the solicitations of a love-struck individual who wanted to put his aching leart ad rest by seouring a mortgage upon and becoming sole proprictor of the fuir charmer who had made his heart ache, through the recognized validity of a marringe license. The nawme of this particular ap plicant was Harry Hollander, and he is a reprosentative of that down trodden and persecuted class, Russian Jews. He has not been over very long, but during his short resideuce he has not let the grass grow under his in_love-making to any great extent. His address is South Omalia, where also resides the young lady who has captivated him. Her name is Mary Hoach, and she has reached that age when young ladies begin to show a grasping desire to change their names. Mar t twenty-six, not an unusual over-ripe age for @ miss to be sure, but Harry is only twenty, and when it was proposed that they should he latter's years proved rto the immediate carrying out of the idea. The laws of Nebraska exact that the male shall be twenty-one before a licensc is granted, unless otherwise permitted and sanctioned by the parents of the minor, whose parents in this particular case were far across the bounding blue sea. Under the circumstances this was very annoying, but undaunted Harry wrote for papa’s conscnt and in due course of time back it came writ- ten in the choicest and tenderest Hebrew that ever came from mind and pen. Fortified with his credentials and a smilc of cordinlity Harry swooped down on Mr. Long on Thursd and presented the letter, Mr. Long attempted to read’the con- tents, and after a long and fruitless effort gave it up. Unfortunately for Harry he could not. understand Mr. Long, nor Mr. Long could not understand Harry. But finally Harry was made to comprehend that if he "ever expected to get any favors from that office he would have to present some- bore résemblance to the English Upon receipt of this mandate he ut and_ yesterd: returned with a note written by Judge Levy, of South Omaha, setting forth the import of the letter w Mr. Long could not decipher. The marria, license was promptly written out, and Mr. Hollander darted off to find Mary Hoach to make her Mrs. Hollander, AMUSEMENTS. AnExcellent Production of “Lights o' London" at the Grand. “This celebrated melo-drama was produced for the third time in Omaha last night at the Grand opera house before a large and appre- udience. One year has elapsed since its last prosentation here, at which time it was received with unbounded en thusiusm The principals in last night's performance .| were the same as those who appeared in the play last night. They are ave all capable and painstaking actors and their work was re- oived with o warmth worthy of theirability. Lights o' London" is a sterling melo-drama of the class which requires a wealth of scenery, which this company car- i with it. In fact, the setting is D he same as when the play was last seen here.

Some three weeks since Kelley & Co., plumbers, brought suit in Justice Seabrook’s court, aguinst C. S. Higgins for 1. The case was then transferred to Justice Kroe- ger's court, and the attorneys then agreed to @ postponement until the 7th of the month. Through some mannerof means Mr. Higgin's lawyers, Richie & Kaempfer, were notified by Adams, Kelley & Co.’s lawyer, that the case was docketed for 4 o'clock, whereas 3 o'clock was the hour specified by the justico. Consequently when the defendant and his counsel reached the court they were aston- ished to learn that judgment had been given against them for the full amount. A tem porary injunction was granted, and yeste day application was made to have tha judg- ment set aside on the ground of fraud, with Justice Kroeger made & party to the action.

Dem- ocrat, wus as well known to hunters and settlers of the region where he ranged as a noted trotting horse to devotees of the track. Formerly he ranged through the northern portion of Kalkaska county. Driven out from time to time persistent hounding, he always ro- turned to his old haunts when hostilitios ceased, until within the last two or three yenrs he took up his quarters in the lo- cality where he was slaughtered. Al- most incredible stories were told six years ago at Kalkaska regarding his wonderful_size, endurance and spoed He secmed to take delight in leading n pack of hounds & olnee in which they were always worsted, for never did w hound “give tongue” on his trail that was swift enough or that had bottom enough to jade him, let alone pulling him down, Scores of Nim- rods have gone out well prepared and fully determined to down Old Golden. but came back unsuccessful after two or more days”chase. A number of hunters have “camped on his trail,” worn out and chopfallen, their only consolation being an occasional glimpse of his mag- nificent form as he bounded away out of the reach of the deadly rifle. He had heen ~Alhul at many times without any ap- P With his keen senses ever on thealert, and with an intelligence almost human, the wild animal still kept out of reach of the longest range rifle for yoars. It seems like sacrilege that this old mon- arch should have his head laid low at last by his life-long enemy, mau, whom he had so intelligontly baflled. Perhaps old age had blunted his keen senses and stiffened his once fleet limbs, Though simply a wild deer of the forest, Old Golden will be the theme of admirving story for years to come in the region where he once roamed.

The day following his engagement he was told to go to a pasturc ncar Grand and Park avenues to got the family cow and drive her home. He was not given a description of the cow, nor had I seen the animal before, but he was quick to obey orders,and started to the asture to do his ecrand. When he ar- ved there he saw from three to a half dozen cows in a bunch, and thinking probably that. they all belonged to his employer, proceeded to drive out the one nearegt the gate. This he did, and that he made a mistake which he had cause to regret later, will be seen. Once out of the pasture he armed him- self with with a long stick, and ran at the heels of the cow, keeping Jier mov- ing in_ a lively manncr. When he reached Compton avenue the animal turned south and dashed down that thoroughfare at a high rate of speed. He knew that his cmploy- or’s residence did not lie in _that direc- tion and he attempted to head off the cow, and get her back to Park avenue. He shook the club at she runaway animal and shouted in German, but the cow only increased her speed until there was abig gap between them. At La Salle street the cow turned west of Compton avenue and ran into the yard adjoining the residence of Rev. Commodore De- catur, the pastor of the Compton Hill Colored Baptist church, who advises his flock in matters political as well as religious. There was a crowd of col- ored boys and girls in front of the church, who were amazed when thoy saw the cow chased in the yard by an excited German coveredwith prespira- tion and Compton hill mud, which is re- markable for its adhesive qualities. *“That’s our cow,"’shouted one of Rev,De- catur’s sons when the animal dashed in the yard.The excited John did not under- stand what the colored boy meant, and started in, stillarmed with his stick to drive the animalout. He was deter- mined to carry out his instructions to bring the cow home, and the remarks of the colored people around the church did not affect him in the least. When they saw he was bent on getting the cow out'they set up the cry that he was “tryin’ to steal Mr. Decatah’s cow. That was the signal for a_general at- tack on the unfortunate John. Brick- bats, pieces of macadam and other mis- silos were picked up and shied at him by his dusky pursuers. He ran out of the yard and south on Compton avenue with acrowd of colored people, including men women anc children, following close behind him and pausing every minute to pick up a rock or other convenient missile. The now thoroughly-alarmed German quick- encd his steps,and on reaching Hickory street dashed into Erman’s grocery, where he met a man whom he could con- verse with his own tongue. He begged to be protected from the mob, and ex- plained further that they would not let Lim take his employer’'s cow home when he was detailed to do so. He was then told of his mistake. He had taken Com- modore Decatur’s cow out of the pasture instead of the one he has sent to get. Officers Kidney and Dinan saw that he got homo in safety, when he told of the fearful )erience he had with the col- ored prenchor’s cow shd a portion of his flock. The rest of John's experience is told in a fow words. He resigned his position, and lost no time in getting awny from Compton hill, the scene of the most troublous experience in his his- tory, as he explained himself. S Did Not Like His Rival.

FETID NASAL CATARRH. Its Symptoms and What It Leads to— £33 The Miserable Feelings, Etc. This form of catarrh s essentially n disense of the nasal cavity proper and does not extend to the vault of the pharynx. For a while a dry ca- tarrh may, and very frequently does, develop in that region as the result of strilctural changes within the tissues of the mucus membrate, ‘The symptoms mainfy consist in the accumula- tion i1 the nasal cavity of offensive masses and crusts together with more of less of a fluld dis- charge. ‘The nasal cavity thus obstructed, Dreathing is more oF less difiicut. "Phe sense of smell i3 impaired, 1f not entirely lost, The especial Hability to tike colds on tho least_exposure exists, and_the susceptibility to changes of temperature and the inflience of a Anmp atmosphicre frequently cuuses thickening of the nusal mucus membrane. As the scoretion zoes o from the smfuce of the mucus moms FPime, thie milssex are lifted from thelr bed, and still losing their rge crusts are grad- ually bullt up fron ch mould them- selves in ortions in such & manner ¢ 15 unable to dislodge them, and ain in position for days and even weaks.
