For months the New York papers have been prating about eriminal prc ecution of Gould and Sage. That great feat is always about to be done. ‘W10 is to be Mr. Sparks’ cuccessor is still'a matter of uncertainty. One thing is certain, however. He should be a man with backbone enough to resist the pressure of land grant mouopolies. OmAnA is likely to have still anothor tax-eater—a city physician at a salary of $1,800 a year. That a city physician® is needed there is no doubt,but just why the salary should be more than doubled is something the taxpayers would like to know, It is about time to call a halt on the unwarranted increase of tax- eaters by the city counc A GOVERNON ZULICK, of Arizona, is charged by opponents who wish to have him removed, with a long list of sins of commission and omission. Whether these charges are true or untrue it will not be an casy matter to dislodge Mr. Zulick. He is a protege of Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, who is noted for his bulldog tenacity in staying by his friends. TiE longest and most memorable con- test for the speakership of the house of representatives resulted in the election of Nathaniel P. Banks, February 2, 1856, on the 133d ballot. The surviving representatives who voted for him pro- pose to hold a reunion at Washington on February 1, at which General Banks himself will preside. The survivorsare few, and John Sherman and Justin S. Morrill are almost the only members of the Thirty-fourth congress who are still active in public affairs. Among the survivors is Aaron H. Cragin of New Hampshire, Galusha A. Grow of - Penn- sylyania, and William Cumback of Indian The reunion will doubtless be a most interesting occasion. Tne seismic disturbances felt at a number of points in the south on Thu day must have been most uncomfortable reminders of the visitation which brought such disaster to Charleston 1n the summer of 1886 and was more or less calamitous elsewhere. These latest dis- turbances were not more severe than several that have been felt in the same localties within the past pear,and are not to be regarded as necessarily pre- monitions of any seriousshocks tofollow. It is remembered, however, that some reputable seismologist not more than a year ago predicted unusual disturbances in the earth’s interior about this time or a little later, though if we remember wightly he did not expect them to be @evere on this continent. THE report of the board of managers @ the National home for disabled sol- @iers shows that these retreats of dis- abled and impoverished veterans are now filled to their utmost capacity, The report states further that if the govern- ment intends to care forall disabled soldiers it will be necessary to materi- ally enlarge the existing accommoda- tions. There should be no niggardli- ness in this direction. nion vetel who are incapable of earning a liveli hood should be cared for during th few remaining years. The country will cheerfully bear any additional burden to keep its gallant defenders from want and misery in their old age. —— IT appears that until now the judges of the supreme court of Wisconsin have enjoyed the privilege of riding free on the railroads, but owing to the noise made about it by the meddlesome newspaper men these functionaries have reluctantly decided not to accept any more passes. The whole judicial establishment of Wisconsin, even down 10 justice court officials, is said to have been under obligations to the railroads for free passes, and if the railroads have not done about as they pleased in that state they have been careless of their opportunity. It is to be hoped there is no mistake about the statement that this pernicious custom has been done away with. The impartiality of Wis- oonsin judges will be much better as- sured, where railroad interests are in- volved, if there are no free passes con- fronting their conscience. _ Mr, Chandier's Zeal. It is not altogether certain that'the zedl of Mr. William E. Chandler in be- hulf of the colored voter in the south will he as serviceable to the republican party ns he doubtless desives and ex- pects it to be. For we assume that his solicitude in this matter is intended as a vepublican protest, to which he would commit the whole party, against wha ever-denial of their political rights the colored voters of the south suffer from, and not altogether an effort on the part of Mr. Chandler to promote his claims to recognition, if not to leadership. We are not blind to the fact that the new senator from New Hampshire likes to be known, and that he aspires to be in the front rank, if not at the very head of the column. But we are disposed tg give him crodit in this matter for a sincere belief that it is the present and immediate duty of the republican party to press the issue of colored suffrage in the south. Tt cannot be fairly questioned that in portions of the south the colored voter is not given a fair chance at the ballot box. In one way or another his right of suffrage is rendered worthless to him. He counts in the population and thereby enables the south to get its representa- tion in the congress, but in a number of states his existence as a political factor does not appear in the voting re- turns. A careful compilation made b, Mr. Murat Halstead has very convinc- ingly shown t There was ground, therefore, for the bill introduced by Mr. Chanaler in the United States sen- ate, very soon after he had taken his seat in that body. providing for afederal supervision of congressional elections in several of the southern states. There is very little probability that with a democratic administration to appoint the officials authorized by the bill the supervision would amount to much, yet it is not questionable that congress has the right to make such provision in the case of the election of its own members. But th 1 of Mr. Chandler knows no limitations, and the allegation that in a municipal election at Jackson, Mis: gippi, the colofed voters were notified that they would not be permitted to take part in the election was sufficient to induce him to bring it to the attention of the senate as a matter of national concern demanding investi- gation. The resolution to investigate was passed by a strict party vote, and Mr. Chandler scored his first success in his effort to make colored suffrage in the south an issue. Inasmuch as con- gress would be powerless to apply any remedy for outrages against the rights of suffrage in the case of a municipal election, the value of the proposed in- vestigation, oxcept for political pur- poses, is not apparent. Granting that the outrages charged are clearly proved, as very likely they can be, to what extent can they be made available for political purposes? We apprehend that the popular mind will not be found during the present yecars readily susceptible to issues of this kind, and that it may be disposed to resent any urgent attempt to force them upon its attention. There is to be, as it seems to us, a pretty thorough exclusion from popular consideration of all matters purely political, and more attention given to questions of a practical charac- ter, Every just man will concede that the colored voters of the south ought to have secured to them the full enjo ment of their political rights, and ever, good citizen hopes that the time will come when this shall be accomplished, but just now the paramount and press- ing issue is to secure to millions of people, white and colored alike, in every section of the land, re- lief from the oppression of unnecessary taxation and from the exactions of the unjustly and unwisely protected monop- olies, corporations and trusts. This is the overshadowing question about which the people are most concerned and from the consideration of which they willnot be diverted by any side issues that Mr, Chandler or any other politician may raise. We do not see, therefore, that the zeal of the New Hampshire senator, in the direction it has taken, likely to be of any service to the republican purty, and it is possible that it may be carried so far as to become hurtful. There are circumstances in which the people become impatient of the ex- pedients of the politician, and we be- lieve these exist to some cxtent at present. There is opportunity for the republicans in congress to exhibit some statesmanship in dealing with the questions that are urgent and of the gravest importance to the welfare of the whole people, and these are numer- ous enough to occupy their whole at- tention. If this opportunity is neg- lected the party may not be able to satisfy the people by referring to its record, however meritorious, on side is- sues. e— Let Them Rise and Explai Mayor Broatch has set himself right before respectable and law-abiding cit- izens of this community by firmly ad- hering to the position he had taken against licensing saloons and other re- sorts that are known to be disorderly, and have been so designated by the chief of police. When one of the re- porters of the BEE charged Mayor Broatch with having changed front on licensing the keepers of houses that had been the habitual resort of thieves, thugs und crooks, he labored under the impression that the action of the license board in the case of J. A. King was unanimous. Mayor Broatch most em- phatically denies that he voted a license to King, after having rejected his first application. The mayor states that he was overruled by the majority of the board. The license board is made up of the mayor, president of the council, and the city clerk. William F. Bechel and J. B, Southard are therefore responsible for the reactionary course of the board. We ask Bechel and Southard to rise and eéxplain what prompted them to change their minds. What iufluence was it that brought about this disgrace- ful flop? Do they propose from now on to override the mayor and the chief of police in their efforts to close the dens and dives? Do they propose to stand in with the keepers of resorts that harbor crooks and thieves? If so, an outraged cowmunity will know the reason why. ‘Public officers do- not prostitute . their positions without something more than mere personal triendship as a consider- ationt and if it is personal friendship, decent people will hold their noses as they pass by our hightoned president of the council. THE section to the charter relating to the advertising requires the coun- cil at the be; ginning of each year to in- vite proposals from the daily papers published in Omaha, and expressly di- reets that the paper making the lowoest bid shall be. awarded the contract and declared the official paper for the year. The only condition made by the charter is that each paper entering the compe- tition shall have a circulation of not less than 2,000 daily, and be in existence at least six months before the letting. This leaves the council no option as gards city circulation or personal pr ference. They are in duty bound to let the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, provided that such paper has been published more than six months and has a general cireulation of more thun 2,000. In the face of this and in spite of the clear definition of the law made Dby Councilinan Burn- ham, a majority of the council have directed the eity elerk to rule out the iing BEE as a competitor, and de- rately put up a job, whéreby the of- ul advertising is to be kept by the present organ. This picce of lawless- ness is simply a renewal of the law-defy- ing tactics and crooked methodsof Bell- wether Hascall and his chieflioutenant, Councilman Bechel, Bothof these men know the law as well as know that the prostituting their positions for contemptible pi‘luuml re- venges, and favoritism to the gang of jobbers that bolstered them up in their attempt to create anarchy in Omaha last summer by starving the police, Tre Missouri cireuit court cided that a railrond company liver freight promptly when time is specified. A cargo of steers billed to Kausas City did not reach the market at the time agreed upon and the shipper lost nearly a thousand dollars by u drop in the market. The court rules that the company must indemnify him. This is o good precedent. By such decisions railvoad compani taught that their patrons have some rights that must be respected. has de- ust de- Other Lands Than Ours. Lord Salisbury’s latest address, de- livered at a conservative club banquet at Liverpool, is well calculated, if we may judge from the brief description of it at hand, to stir the indignation of every friend of Ircland’s cause. He is reported to have said that the dark cloud is lifting over Ireland, a resolute government having had its offect. He believed the country was in process of ex tion from the commercial calami- ties of the last twelve years. Desirable as it would unquestionably be to secure improvement in the material condition of Ireland, it is difficult to see how the policy of political persceution and op- pression pursued by the gov- crnment can effect anything for that condition. It is an altogethe novel theory that commereinl improvement in a country may result from exercising the sternest restraints upon the opinions and actions of w ‘people and visiting severe ‘penaltics upon those who have the manhood to vesist such tyranny. There is no evi dence that the assumption of Lord Sa bury is in the least degree true, and 1( there were it could not be urged in jus- tification of the course of the govern- ment toward Ireland. But apologists for tory misgovernment appear to be satisied with any pretext or pretensc, however unwarranted and shallow. A measure to placate ‘the Irish landlords has been brought before parliament, known as the Irish land purchase bitl. It may properly be termed a scheme for the spoliation of the general public for the benefit of & class, and as that class is very strong in its influence with the govern- ment the scheme may succeed. The English land-owners peree in it a way to escape the loss that threatens them, England is only a few years be- hind Ireland in this land agitation busi- ness. The average rent of English farms is but little less than $10 an acre. On some valuable farms it is 15, but the average isa little less than 810. The nominal value of the land is the rent capitalized. If money is warth 8 per cent a year, an estate is held at a valua- tion of which the rent is ordinary irter- est. But the real value of the estate is what the farmer can afford to pay, not what he has been required to pay. The Irish land purchase question only paves the way for an Eng- lish land purchase proposition when the land agitation is transferred to Eng- land. The unionists, under the lead of Lord Hartington—one of the largest land-owners in the United Kingdom— make land purchase the corner-stone of their policy. They will have no home rule in Ireland until the land-owner is taken care of. The proclamation of the county of Meath appears to have been a most arbitrary proceeding on the part of the viceroy of Ireland which foreibly illustrates the viciousness of the erimes act. It seoms that the viceroy had rented a hunting seat in the county, A convention of farmers resolved not to allow hunting over their farms, and thereupon the county proclaimed. Here is a law that permits an individual, representing the sovoreign power of Great Britain, to wreak his vengeance on a whole county because its farmers would not agree that he might at will ride helter- skelter over their growing crops. It is almost incredible that a statute giving to one man such arbitrary power would be tolerated by the English people of this day, in whose hands rests the power to remove this rveproach upon the nation. e The Furopean news of the past weel has been more pacific than otherwise, yet there have been some incidents, as Austria’s calling out her reserves for drill in Moravia and Russia’s dispatch of more infantry to Poland, which are not without a degree of ominous sig- nificance. On the other hand there have been reports of Russian disarma- ments and of the dismissals of troops whose enlistments have expired which the optimists have received as greatly reassuring. In pointof fact, however, na material change has occurrod in the situation. The embargo put by winter upon active operations while Poland, Gaticia and Silegiqmay be buried under common snowfellg gives an outward tranquility which is not the result of any harmony yet altained in the al courts, With'thé cyming of spring it will be more possible o determine whether there has beep ! any real advance toward a solution of the deep-seated troubles. Meanwhite the attitude of Eng- land ms tohaye become a little better defined. It is quite certain that she takes no active part in the alliance of Germany, Austrin and Jtaly, but that her influence will be thrown with them should Russin adopt an aggressive Balkan policy. It may be going too far to say, us & Constantinople correspond- ent wsserts, that England has definitely promised to send two squadrons to the Black sea should Russia attempt to oceupy Bulgarin, but she is probably ready to act in concert with the three allied powers to prevent Russian subju- gation of the principatity. 4 a'o announce that large bodies of Thibetans are entering Sik- kim; that Thibetan intriguers ave be- coming very active, and thut u display of fa will have to be made on the frontier.

The merchants of Nepaul had long before made themselves the inter- mediaries of trade between the two countries, but Chinese influence has for generations been exerted in the diree- tion of keeping Thibet shut up against communication with the outer world. The interference of its people in the affairs of Nepaul, which 18 now the seene of commotion through the return of one of the exiled princes heading a revolutionary movement and their swarming into Sikkim, may lead to com- plications that will in turn bring their own country into greater contact with India.

A young ers was killsd years ago, orally attrib- Ho went to the stable to feed his horses late one evening, and his wife, hearing a noise, entered the stable only to find her hus- band unconscious and dying. A dark bruise was found upen his head, and the blood oozed from his ears and nostrils, showing that he had been struck by some heavy instrument. One of the poles used in sepurating the stable into stalls was down, and it was believed that this had been, in some way, thrown against Fetters when he enfered the stable and had caused the fatal wound. This explanation was accepted until a day or two ago, when some gypsies stopped at the house of the widow and wanted to tell her fortune. She refused to have anything to do with them. One of them insisted, however, and when again refuse d, said: “Well, I will tel you some things about your lf anyhow Your hushand was killed five years ago in the stable and you thought his death was due to accident. But you were mis- taken. You were milking near by and when you ran to the stable two men ran out and disappeared in the woods, One was o very large man and the other was small. Their objeet was to rob your husband, who hml a large sum of mone in his pocket. But your coming pro- vented the robbery. With this the gypsies passed on. and the widow recall the fact that her husband, on the day of his death, had sold his hogs and had the money sewed in the watch pocket of his pantaloons, where she afterwards found it. The gypsies detailed all the circumstances of the death of her husband with such minuteness that the widow belie i to have been the v crime instead of an accident, and many of her neighbors share this feeling with her. —_— Grandma Garfield 111, CLEVELAND, Jan. 13.—“Grandma’ Garfield, as President Garfleld's mother is called by those who know her, is ill at the old homo- stead at Mentor.
