MANONE has declined the propositicn of the Wise faction to make a electoral ticket out of the two fuct in Virginia. The Old Dominion is hold- ing its breath for another sps s the ivalist, a president who has courage and a back- bone like a circus pole. That is just the kind of a president the country wants, and he can be found in Indiana. Two red foxes named respectively Cleveland and Thurman haye been sent as a present to the white house. They will show their pretty tails in flight when the hounds Harrison and Morton get after them at the meet in Novem- ber.

Right on the heels of the Crete outing comes the Long Pine Chautauqua, aud the younger society has been no less a success than its older sister. WiuAT Omaha and Council Bluffs should labor for from now on is to make the new wagon bridge a free bridge. If the counties on this side and across the river cannot induce the owners of the bridge to sell, they ought to be able to lease and operate the bridge. The peo- pleof both counties ean well afford to * tax themselves for this purpose. A free bridge means commercial union. ————— IF 11 be true as reported that the late emporor had set bis heart upon giving Alsace-Lorraine home rule, it is more 2o be deplored that the great kaiser was mot spared to carry out his plan. - The fndependence of this disputed territory would soon lead to the disarmament of and lasting poace between Germany and France.

There was & postmaster to be appointed at Leondon, O., and Payne had rccnm\ncnlluddx man. Thurman was appealed to, and having learned that tho senator had a candidate he cast mbout for some one else, whom he rece ommended for the place. The name of the Thurman candidate was sent to the senate, and it remains to ba seen what Payne will do in the matter. There is no affection betweon these veterans of the Ohio democracy, and for this reason it is questionable whother Thurman will get the full supvort of the party in _ his own state, OUR Clay county correspondent an- " mounces that two members of the late legislature, Randall and Newton, are up for re-election and want to be vindi- cated.

It is protty clearly shown by the in- terview with Secretary Bayard—which uuder the circumstances is entitled to just as much credence as a statement over his own signature—that the com- mission on the part of the United States to arrange the fisheries controversy, of which Mr. Bayard was the head and spokesman, was not the equal in diplo- matic ability of the British pleni- potentiartes. The fact is made evident by the admissions of Mr. Bayard that the most important concessions were made by the representatives of the United States, and that where theve was really any vital issue it was this country that yielded. The spirit which appeared to control the American rep- resentatives was that of compromise, and quite- naturally Chamberlain and his associates took advantage of this. The concessions were, of course, not all on one side, but the best of them were not in favor of this country. The claim of Secretary Bayard that the administration is jealous of the rights of American seamen and has maintained them will not stand the test of investigation. It isa matter of gen- eral knowledge that the administration showed a complete apathy and indiffer- ence regarding the rights of American fishermen until it was most vigorously spurred to interest by the universal popular condemnation of its conduct and tho action of congress providing for a policy of retaliation in the event of continuance by Canada of its outrages in palpable defiance of treaty obliga- tions. Never in its history was the country more completely humilinted than by tho toleration of the abuses heaped upon American fishermen by the Canadian authorities—abuses which any other self-respecting nation would have resented in the most forci- ble manune Baot the administra- tion was satisfied with forwarding to the British government some mild pro- tests, which that governmentarrogantly took its own time to respoud to, the Can- adian authorities meantime defiantly and insolently continuing the outrages.

THE UNI PAUIFIC SCRHEME. The Chicago Roads Will Use Their Bridge—Prospects For a Strike, From information derived from semi- official sources, it may be presumed and upon very good grounds that it is but a matter of time, and a very short time at that, when all the roads which now land their passengers at Council Bluffs will use the Union Pacific bridge, aud passengers will debark at Omaha, This action on the part of the Union Pacific 1 to be the cauge af the hurrying-up of n depot project bacause forsooth the present accommodations |are not sufficient. The motive assigned forf this action on.the part of the Union® Pacific in asking other rouds, or permitting other roads to use their bridge, is of course prompted by the fear that the new bridie, for which Mr. McShane holds a charter, may be constructed and in consequence interfere with them very seri- ously. By the varigus. lines, which now terminato in (:mnn-&g Huifs, unioading their passengers at the UnioniPacific depot much benefit may be decfved which would other- wise be lost. Ther_i8'no denying the fact that the matter is beifig projected. It is cur- rent talk in raiiroad diréles and is the theme of conversation at genmeral headquarters. Such action, in_ the estimation of a gres many people, could not but be bencficial to Omaha, The city which has for a long time been @ whistling station for the Union Pa- cific would then become the railroad center it should have been long ago. Passengers from tho coast instead of landing at Council Blufts, will change cars in Omaha. If no beneflt other than the convenience of the traveling public were to be derived it would still be a great thing. PIROSPECTS FOR A GENERAL STRIKE. “It's coming as sure as fate,” said a prom- inent railroad official yesterday. *I can seo the handwriting on the wall as plaitly as though I had written it myself.” “What is coming !’ was asked. “A gencral strile on the part of the broth- erhood men,” responded the gentleman, “and when it does come look out for squalls. Listen now and 1 will tell you. A few weeks since there was a brotherhood meeting at Cloveland, O. If have it from good authority that at that ses- sion the question of again boycotting the cars of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy me up. It was argued pro and con. The conservative element argued that to take such n eourse was to greatly injure the in- terests of the country at large. = The radical faction set up that in warfare the deadlior the weapon used the sooner the battlo was ended. So in this case a_general boycott on Chicago. Burlingion & Quincy cars settles the matter, The vote taken resulted ina majoriiy of eleven votes for the conservative clement. But the radicals were not de- feated. Since that time they have got in thelr work and they have ample opportuuity. The men out of employment are chafing under the long delay. Those on other roads are tired of contributing to their support and the conseqaence 18 that the fire-eating cloment are all primed for another effort and this time will carry their point. The arrest of Hogo and Murphy has added fuel to the flame and everything is in readiness for a final struggle. And when that boycott is declared look out for trouble, The Rock Island during tne previous one declared that they would not compromise tneir interests by handling Q' cars, and the Northwestern stood by them. There is no question but what the Ghicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul would be forced to taice the same position in regard to the mat- ter. There is no use talking about the courts compelling them to handle ‘Q.’ freight, for just as soon as a writ of mundamus was issued every engineer on the road would quit, and in_an’ event of that kind where would the ‘Q." be! Of course they could not han- dle the freight between the Missouri river and Chicago. And even if they did, no road east of Chicago would take it, for the engi- nes on those roads are a unit against the Burlington. The Grand Trunk is only wait- ing for the signal and tho others will fall into lne. As to the Unlon Pacific, they might stand by the “Q" in view of the recent arrange ment made in regard to freight and passenger trafic, and doubtless would but they would suffer greatly. ‘This many Vroman, wio has Just gono to Unicago to rebresont. the Union Pacilic, is o very radical man and the men are backing him.
