THE proposed new ordinance for ma- terially extending the fire limits meets an obvious requirement. The preseut limits are too contracted, and it is well not to delay in enlarging the territory within which there shall be no more frame buildings constructed. 80 the “boys” have organized a dem- ocratic political club with tho Indian handle Samoset which is to be to Omaha what Tammany is to New York. But there are too many private feuds among the braves. The scalping knife is much more likely to be used in the wigwam than the pipe of peace. SINCE March 26 the total shipment of gold to Europe was $12,569.000. During the past mouth nearly $4,000,000 wero exportgd. This large movement of specie is due to the decrease for June in the outward movement of cotton, breadstufls and provisions. It 1s esti- mated that the fulling off in our e ports as compared with last June is nearly 5,000,000, The returning tide will, however, set in the moment our foreign export of wheat, corn and other products begin. A COMPLAINT has been filed with the state board of transportation by an Au- rora merchant, that the Burlington in shipping threshing machines from Racine, Wis., to Lincoln, a distanco of six hundred miles, charged less than twenty dollars, and for carrying the same machinery seventy-four miles from Lin- @oln to Aurora, Neb., the railroad com- gany charged thicty-four dollars and ninety-six cents. If this charge be tr| ue, the board is certainly justified in re ing the local freight rates. Tne Canadian Pacific, which has been playing smnsh with American railroads, will have a thorn stuck into its own side. The Northern Pacific isat once to invade its rival's tervitory and extond its system through Mummm For a long time the people of that province have been subject to the extortion of the Canadian Pacific. As a relief from that monopoly the Mani- tobans are to build a line of their own to counect with the Northern Pacifio, which virtually gives the American railroad a foothold in the quecn’s terri- tory. THE ordinance providing for the ex- clusion of hawkers, peddlers, street fakirs, etc., whether licensed or un- licensed, from specified streets in the lower portion of the ecity, will probably. encountor no serious opposition. certainly be. approved by large majority of the people on the streots named, to whom the daily visits of the itinerant “merchants” of every class is. no smal annoyance.

A reat burden it unquestionably is borne willingly, and rather than iy disintegration the people would tiningly accept an increase of the burden. As it is there is a sense of security, patriotism can assert itself, and the hope survives of some time re- claiming what has been lost and secur- ing justice for the nation. Disart ment might have a sequence in adde injury, insult and ultimate isolation.

It may t . that no exigency requiring so despe determination is to be forced on Frauce, and that if she be asked to disarm the request will bo ace compauiod by such guarantees as will warrant her in acceding to it. It is not greatly probable that Russia will ente into any compact that would humiliate or eripple France, ov force her to any desperate alternative. At all ovents, the situation at this time isof the great- est interest, and a fow weeks, possibly a few days, may bring portentous devel- opments, be 50 obsti- however. The Return of Mr. Blaine, Tt is expected that Mr. Blaine will re- turn'to the United States early in August, and it is understood that intends taking an active part in the campaign. The New York Sun remarks that his appearance on the stump *is sure to give the republican canvass an impetus that will be felt far and wide. Vast crowds will attend his mectings wher- ever he speaks through New England and all over the west. He will arou enthusiasm at every meeting. Ho will capture votes for the republican party, draw funds into the republican treas- ury, and otherwise strengthen Genoral Hurrvison’s ecampaign.” As to all of which the Sun is perfectly correct, Me. Blaine will be stronger as the ad- voeate of the republican cause, having no personal interest to advance, than he could possibly be as the candidate of the party He will return to his coun- try simply as a private citizen, with no desire or ambition, so far as any man knows, to again hold publ voice of the people of his state may ca Lim to again represent them in con- gress, but the probability is that James G. Blaine will not seek to return to pub- lic life. He could achieve no addi- tional honor by doing so, and his per- sonal welfare will be best sub- served by his remaining in vate lifa. Having declined to allow his party to a second time make him its presidential stund- ard bearer, it is not to be supposed that ho would enter into any contest for an inforior honor. Returning, thervefore, with his fame as a leader unimpa and holding s firmly as ever the aflc tion of his millions of followers, Mr, Blaine, the citizen, will exert a greater influence than he has perhaps ever done before, and, as our New York con- temporary says, will be sure to give tho republican canvass an impetus that will be felt far and wide. But the Sun reassures the democrac in language that seems a little satiri- cal, with the promise that the ap- pearance of Mr. Blaine in the ¢ vass will be offset by the on the stump of the candidate for vice president.

As bearing i may mention that a friend of mine, after an ascent on snow, had an enor- mously swollen face, and I observed that in the general swelling there were muuy pits and depressions and that each pit corresponded to a freckle.

It think it is incumbent upon every claimant to satisfy you by competent evid con- dition named in section i2, 4, of the compiled statutes. That is to say, he must prove by competent evidence and to your satisfaction— Fist—That the into the st animal was not brought ndition or from or district in i is infocted or to which it has been exposed Cxists, Seeond into the st ‘That such animal was not brought in violation of any law or quar- antine regulation thereof, and that the owner thereol has not violate of the provisions that act or disregard any rule or regulation of the live stock comuissioners or any memver thereof, Third—Taat the animal did not come into possession of the claimant with the claim- ant’s knowledge that it was discased, or suspected of disease, or had been exposed to any infeetious or contagious diseuase, Fourth—That the owner of said animal has exercised reasonable dilizence 1o protect it from being exposed to any contagious or in- feetious discas Fifth—That the animal has not heen im- portad into the state within six months; that 18, the animal muat have been in the state over six months, You will sce that the claimant in the case in question has failed to show by any evi- d.m whatever the existence of some of pso conditions. 1 note that he states in his or that he does mot know when tho animal was brought into the state. While [ am of the opinion that your board should en- deavor to protect the rights of the citizens, and in_every proper case allow compensation for animals killed, yet I think the only legal and proper rule for you to adopt is to allow claims only when the claimant brings him- self clearly within the rule of the law. other- wise you act without authority of law, and not only that, but in direct opposition to its provisions., Yours very truly, WiLLiam Lluhr Attorney ( LINCOLN DAY GUE At the Capital: G.
