From the description it must be a brother to John L. Webster's congressional boom. Tur Honorable Patrick O'Hawes is looming up as an alternate from the T'irst ward this time. Pat is boxing the compass in his changes of location. At the last election he bobbed upin the Fifth, ALABAMA has led off with a demo- eratic majority of 100,000 votes. But that was to be expected. Republicans kept away from the polls, for they knew well enough their ballots would be counted with the majovity if they voted. ATTORNEY GENERAL BAKER, of Jowa, has brought fifteen suits against the Chicago & Northwestern for extor- tionate freight charges based on the state railroad commissioners’ tarift schedule. But the Northwestern does not mind a dozea law suits, so long as it can keep on charging what the traflic will bear, BENEATII the surface of the present wpolitical turmoil in Douglas county the undercurrent of the October tussle is manifesting itself. The county attor- neyship, the scramble for legislative seats and incidental minor offices which are to be fought for at the next republi- ean county convention are all playing their part at the present time. THE execution of Maxwellat St. Louis for the murder ot Arthur Preller will recall in the mindsof everybody the crime for which the young Englishman paid the death penalty. The circum- stances surrounding the mystery, the flight and recapture of the murderer will be remembered as one of” the most sensational and peculiar events in the annals of crime. That Maxwell had a fair ana impartial trial no one can doubt, and the bravado with which he sent out his remarkable address to the people of England is only in line with the character of the man. While the fate which ended Maxwell’s life will excite no sympathy, every one will feel compassionate toward the heart-broken mother and disgraced father who in a strange land came to see their boy ex- piate the crime of murder. Tar special committee now investi- gating the Italian immigration evils in New York City came across a startling bit of testimony. A number of wit- nesses have testified that the coal oper- wtors of Pennsylvania had entered into an agreement by which the labor ques- tion could be kept in their own hands. Thrice as many mines as were needed to supply the market were opened and enough labor to overstock the labor market was imported from Italy, Han- gary and Poland. In this way the coal barons of America were able to reduce the price of labor to such a pittance that American workmen could not com- pete and thus render all strikes harm- less. There is avidently a wide field for investigation open to Congressman Ford and his colleagues. The inquiry in the light of this testimony can well be ex- tended into the coal mine districts of =Pennsylvania, where the wretchedness of the coal miners and the causes thereof may be fully brought to light. THE roundups are now going on in Wyoming and it is estimated the terri- tory will within ninety days be ready to ship from sixty-five to seventy-five thousand cattle to market. The out- Took, therefore, for the industry is much brighter than it has been for some years past, and cattlemen will be able to recoup themselves by the improved tone iu prices over the losses sustained dur- g 1885 and 1886. As compared with last year, cattle which sold in the fall of 1887 in Chicago at 322 have been corn-fed at a cost of #30 per head and market last mouth at from 365 to $90 per head, thus yielding a handsome profit. The past comparatively mild winter on the ranges has also contributed in im- proving the coudition of cattle, and they came through it in better shape than for three years past. The recov- ery in the deprossion of the cattle busi- vess has put stockmen on guard to avoid the dungers of overcrowding the ranges. It 1s therefore certain that the excesses in sénding vast herds into the tervitory which taused the decline in mu will uot n(-lu be m«ud- The Last of BEarth, To-day the' mortal part. of General Philip H. Sheridan will be consigned to the grave. The immortdl record of his illustrions “carcor remains to the glory of his country and the instruction of mankind. It is an imperishable pa of the history of this nation, which profited so greatly from his genius his val It isa legacy to the com goncrations of Americans which will strengthen their patriotism and love of country.

He was not unconscious of his place in the history of his country. No grandeur could ~ add to glory. The simple and necessary cercmonics of to-day, are the final testimony to the modest character of the great soldior, and therefore more impressive than any which the affection and gratitude of the nation, had these been consulted, could have devised. The death of General Sheridan has been universally mourned. Sorrow has touched the hearts of those whom he fought and conquered as well as of those whom he led to battle and to victory. Fulogy of his great services to the coun= try and of his splendid ability as a soldier has been prouounced with equal fullness and heartiness by men of the north and of the south. The feeling is that the glory of his achievements and the honor of his fame belongs to the nation and are the heritage of all its people. Thus it is that to-day every American citizen is in profound sym- puthy with the last sad rites that will consign to their final resting place the mortal remains of one of the greatest of American soldiers, and the condolence of the entire nation goes out to those who knew his love and devotion as a husband and a father. Blaine's Return. The delayed steamer City of New York, with James G. Blaine as its most distinguished passenger, arrvived at New York yestorday morning. Mr. Blaine is reported to be in excellent health, and 1t nothing occurs to im- pair his present vigor his promised act- ive part in the political campaign will be fulfilled. All citizens will be glad to know that Mr. Blaine returns to this country much better and'stronger phy- sically than when he left it. The arrangements to give the emi- nent states man a grand welcome were seriously interforred with by the delay in the arrival of the steamer, which was two days late, but undoubtedly there will be a démonstration in honor of his return that will not lack in en- thusiasm and memorable characteris- tics. As it was, he received a most cor- dial welcome, expressing in return his great gratification at being again in the republic. Referring to the political campaign, Mr. Blaine pointedly indi- cated the character of the contribution he would make to it, and it is hardly necessary to say that it is likely to have an extended and important influence. He will probably not enter upon his campaign work until some time in Sep- tember. E———— The Mississippl Bulldozers. The letters which have been pub- lished in THE BEE from a correspondent in Mississippi, showing the way in which the colored republican vote in sections of that state is suppressed and the political rights of these people de- nied them, appear to have nettled some democrat in this locality who is not un~ willing to assist his political fellows in Mississippt in hunting down the author of the letters and driving him, if possi- Dble, out of the state. A letter received from our cor- respondent states that some demo- crat in Nebraska forwarded one of his communications printed in TrHe BeEE to the postmaster at Chotard, Miss., and asked him for the facts. This democrat also sug- gested to the postal official to find the author of THE BEE articles and endea- vor to have them suppressed, which it is understood the official is seduously seeking to do. Of course the method of suppression, should the author of the ar- ticles be discovered, would be the com- mon one of driving him out of the state, or, if he refused to be driven, taking summary measures to get md of him. As our correspondent states i “If you don’t wish to stir up the wrath of the southern bourbon, you must keep your mouth shut and swallow everything and vote the democratic ticket without asking any questions; for if you dare question their methods or nullifying the counstitution to sup- press the negro votes your life and property would be in danger.” Our correspondent is fully warranted in his plan of campaign against the democratic bulldozers of Mississippi, not merely on personal grounds, but because it is the only way of getting the truth of the situation theve before the country. Their efforts to locate him are not likely to suceeed, It is sufficient for THE BEE to repeat what it has hereto- fore stated, that its correspondent is a competent, intelligent and entirely trustworthy witness, in whose testimony it has full faith, The article of our correspondent which was sent by a Nebraska democrat to the postmaster at Chotard it appears was forwarded by that official to the editor of the Viecksburg Herald, with the request that he reply to it. . The re- sult can hardly have been satisfactory to the Mississippi bulldozers. Not a single fact stated by our correspondent is denied, but on the contrary, the truth of the charge of suppressing the colored vote is virtually confessed in the assor- tion of the edator that the white people of the south will never submit tobe ruled By the black race, while itis boldly. declared that whether -or not the people of the north approve of this determination ‘*‘the southern white peoplo will go on just as they have been doing since negro domin: tion was overthrown.” In other words, it is the settled purpose of the southern whites to go on deflantly disregarding the constitutional amendments which made the negro a citizen and gave him equal political rights with the white man. This deliberate acknowledgment of a prominent southern newspaper is commended to the attention of intel- ligent demoerats who believe itisneces- of republican in- stitutions that the fundamental law should be respected and obeyed in all its requirements, Supervision of Street Wires, Applied seience isa dangerous thing when its operation is not coupled with safeguards. This fact was foreibly dem- onstrated in tho city of Dayton, Ohio, by the total destruction of the telephone ystem from contact with the wires rve as conductors of power to electrie street railwa This accident conld have been readily oided had proper precautions been taken in the erection of the overhead wires used for the street railway motor. It has been well established t the contact of tel- epitone and telegraph wires with lines used for conve power and light is very dangerous. Not only s there iility to cause a whole- sale destruction of telegraph and telephone insteaments, but also more than a possibility of setting fire to buildings and killing or maiming persons who happen at the time to be handling the telephone and telegraph wires, The lesson of Da lost upon this city altogether a too promiscuou w in our streets and less of public safety, or even of pub convenience. The telegraph lines should by all means be ordered placed under ground in the business port of the city, and the telephone lines should be made to follow just as soon as proper arrangements can be made. Electric light wives should be located under expert supervision, and in no case should they be allowed to hang in dangerous proximity to telephone and telegraph lines that enter dwellings and business blocks. As a matter of public safoty a compe- tent electrical engineer should be em- ployed to supervise and inspect all wir- ing in the public thoroughfar man will more than 'n his s 3 checking and preventing disaster that may at any time overtake this city by negligence or accident. RIGHT on the heels of the protest of the citizens of Albright for a lack of fire protection came the disaster which swept away filteen thousand dollar: worth of property.

Harbach to infuse some vitality and electricity into its slumbering body. Other Lands Than Ours. The arbitrary and unjust application of the cloture during the debateon the Parnell com- mission was a fitting termination to the dis- cussion of a measure planned for the purpose of exciting suspicion agamst the Irish parlia- mentary party, as well as for ransacking the history of the National League in order to find something capable of distortion into the semblance of a plot or aecrime. The rapd manner in which the normal inajority of the government dwindled on the various amend- ments to the bill showed that wany of the tories share in the feeling of dis- gust with which it is re- garded. The rights which from time immemorial have been conceded to legislators are denied to Mr. Parnell, and, in spite of his protest, a one-sided investigation will be carried on, not to determine whethor the letters published by the Times are for- geries, but to give every malcontent, rene- gade aud subsidized informer an opportunity to indulge in the falsest of accusations and the foulest of slanders. No such disgraceful action has ever been attempted in British politics, nor does English history furnish a case im which prejudice and passion have been given freer scope and have been allowed more effectively to override every principle of honesty and justice. A" There are indications that the relations of England and Germany are about to become cold, if not unfriendly. The predudice against England and things English has long been manifested at Berlin in the form of per- sonal dislike for the wife of the late Emperor Frederick while she was crown princess, as well as during the brief period of her hus- band’s reign. It was a senfiment which the pi®sent emperor unfortunately shared. ‘While Frederick was alive he was almost the only real friend England had in Ger- many. Now he is dead the anti-English feel- g is rendered more bitter by the quarrel of his physician and the politieal intrignes that were incident to his last illness, The ves- tige of an English party cannot be said to exist in Germany,and it Great Britaio has still @ sincere friend in German political circles he is likely to be alienated by the recent ut- terances of the English newspapers. What- ever is to be done in the Halkans, where o modus vivendi of the great powers will probably be formed, Germany is never likely to lend even a quasi- moral support to England as far as concerns the extension of Russian influcnce in Turkestan and Afghanistan. If she is to save India from the Muscovite, it raust be by her own prowess. She has the opportunity of doing a great service to the world by ex- tending her Indian railroad system from its present terminus in the desert east of Cun- dahar to Herat to counect with the ‘Pranscaspian, just cowpleted to Samaveand. Were this done, the time from Europe to India might be shortened from three weeks to twelve days, and the expenses of the trip reduced by at least one-third. Will she do itt Probably not, if we can judge by the ro- cent refusal of parliament to consider the question of the channel tunnel. She insists that England shall remain an island, and she prefers that India shall continue isolated on the landward side, fearing that if the road is built it will only make her posseasions more accessible to the Russian army, a large part of which is always massed in the Caucasus, only a few days by rail from her Indian froutier. " «"n The Russian-Gorman policy of subordinat- g France to the desigus of the two empe- rors was outlined about the time the prescut emperor of Germany grasped the sceptor. The first turn of the imperial screw way be .zoes, a8 if he had su that of placing Feance and Italy in strained relations to each other. Italy is encouraged in a line of poliay which sho would not think of if the two crapepors did not stand behind her, One of two résults will probably follow the hoisting ot Raly's flag o Sevilla, Bither France will submit with, perhaps, o purposeless protest, or she will oppose tho step Italy has taked. It France submits it will not be long ‘bafore another opportunity is placcd before ler for a similar exerciso of the virtues of patiénce. If France does not submit, and war should follow, Italy would e supported by the two emperors if the tide of war should trnugmnst her, France then would be tempted fo fight a battle which she could not win umder any ciroumstance If more than o match for Italy she would certainly be less than a match for Italy, Russis and Germany. It is quite probable that in this cut-throat game 1ssia will be only & passive party. It is Germany which regards France with appre- hension, and desires to force her to disarm. Rnsain cares nothing about France except as a power which may aid or may frustrate her designs in the Mediterancan, When Russia is ready to move s anticipates the opposition of G afn, I France shou'd be in a position to render Great Britain assistance the outlook for Russia would be less promising. But if France should be exhiausted by a profitiess war with Italy it wonld let England fizht its own bat- tles, Itappears that William 11 of Germany is going round to the different courts to per- fect a kind of government trust, He will visit all his brother monarchs, and let enouzh into the trust to enable the combina- tioi to dictate to Europe. At least, such ap- pears to be his purpose, and he will doubtless succeed if the people remain passive and hund over without a murmur the bulk of their carnings, e All the military forces of Germany are said to be in the highest state of eMcienc and the vast engine of war which has been constructed at such immense cost awaits only the touch of Kaiser Wilhelin to begin its deadly operations, The ac and tion that have been manifested along the I'rench frontier over trifling matters of dispute between the authorities of the two nations furnishes a convenient spark which atany lime set Burops in a blaze. The tion will doubtlcss be increased by reason of the harsh measures which Germany has adopted to stamp out French ideas and influ- ence in the two conquered provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Among these are the suppression of the study of the French language in scheols or by private tutor, the abolition of French money as the commereial medium of business transactions, and the threat of expatriation which hangs over the heads of the large landed proprictors. This latter measura would be resorted to reluct- antly, if at all, yet it cannot be doubted that the ultimate intention and desire of the man government is to destroy the large landod estates in these proviaces by cutting m up into smadl holdings, to be occupied new infusion of fully Germamized pea- If the critical sentiment of the a will permit, Alsace and Lorraine as Freach communities may ‘yet be as complately ex- tirpated as Prussian Poland has been, * e The assertion of the French that Ttaly's increase of armaments is due to the fact that she has designs upon Tripoli scems to be based on apprehension rather th evidence, Ttaly's experience with is Geel aging to further at- tempts at territoripl acquisitions in Afvica. Yet of all places on that continent she un- doubtedly would fer a foothold in Tripoli. Doubtless also she would find her ambition in that, direction furthered by some other ropean nations whose for- eign policy could not interfere with Ttaly’s. Butit is wholly premature to sup- pose that her immediate object is the con- quest of Tripoli. Her increase of armaments has been going on steadily of L partly from the well-grounded prid. sno feels in having put herself in the very front vank of naval powers and partly from the consciousness that she may at any time be called upon to act in armed alliance with other powers in a great Baropean conflict. It is by no means improbable that the price of her assistance in such a coufiict would be a foothold in North Africa, either as a volun- tary cession for aid rendered or 2s the spoils of successful war. * By It is not improbable that whoever at Fekin is responsible for the talk of putting the army and navy of China into condition to fight Great Britain upon the Chinese exclusion question, is evidently indulging in a game of bluft. It is said that ‘‘three years will be re- quired for this purpose.”” China has now of vessels going fifteen knots or more, four ar- mored and eight unarmored, only one in the dozen having over 3,000 tons dis- placement. Great Britain has seven- teen armed vessels build and six building of more than fifteen knots and ranging in displacement from 5,600, the smallest, up to 10,600. She has twenty-seven fast unarmored cruisers built, of which nearly half are of more than 3,700 tons dis- placement. It is theroforo safo to say that it will require quite as much as three years for Mongolia to rule the waves, vice Britan- nia, A curious part of the alleged imperial is the ordering home of all Chinese sub- jects in Australian colonies within these three years of preparation. It would be odd to complain that more Chinese are not al- lowed in Australia, and then to call home even those that are "l‘:l'l.‘. 1t is still said that'tho relations between Fmperor William and his mother are a good deal more than strained. Nothing but tho influence of Prince Bismarck has prevented the emperor from summoning the Hohen- zollern family council for the purpose of formally declaring that the late emperor’s will and settlements are invalid, as hus state of health should have disqualified him from ascending the throne last March, This step may yet be taken unless the Ewpress Vie- toria gives up the papers which were sent to England with thé queen and which are now understood to be deposited at Windsor, The result would be that, while the public acts of Emperor Frederjck would be unaffected, Emperor Willlam would be placed in pr cisely the same position, so far as money eeded his grandfather and his mother, Empress Victoria, should be reduced to the very moderate jointure of a dowager crown princess and her younger children would have their allowances greatly cut down. - . A much more thanageable and promising cuterprise for Freuch capital to cngage in than the Pauama canal is the proposed mari- time canal through France, planned by M. de Doub to connect Havre and Mar- seiles, utilizing the waters of the Sene, the Loire and the Rhone, and intended to make Paris a seaport. By damming the rivers the plan, if carried out, would engage to fur- nish insurance against floods in those portions of France where these disasters are of almost annual occurrence, and would provide, not ouly irrigation, but hy- draulic power convertible into electric light- ing and electric-motive power. It would take about eight years to complete this undertaking by present estimates, and would, at the end, give both the Straits of Gibraltar and some trans-continental lines of railway the “go-by" 8o far as French use of them for transportation is concerned. It would also furnish that “home market for French investors thal is the greatest ambui- Won aiy country can have. HEDOWNED JOHN L. WEBSTER ‘W. J.
