The city election is only four weeks off, ACCORDING to the Herald, Tug Bre become a ngerous enemy of Omaha, while the editor of that sheet, who for years kept up the most vindic- tive and malignant warfare against Omaha through the Lincoln Denoerat, constitutes himself the champion of Omaha’s interests. This is in accord with the eternal fitness of things, m—— “Tr people of the United States,” said Judge Thurman on hearing the re- sult of the election, ‘‘have decided that atariflis not a tax. And as they are the arbitrators in tne case nobody will acquiesce in their decisions more quickly than 1. The Old Roman cvi- dently accepts defeat with the philoso- phy of astoic. No more wild goose chase for him, JUDGE SAWYER, of the United States civeuit court at San Francisco, has rendered a decision of considerable im- portance bearing upon the Chincse question, He held that Chinamen born in the United States were citizens of this country and not amenable to the Chinese restriction act recently passed. There can be but little question that the decision s sound in lawand in principle. Tuw greater part of the butter and cheose consumed in Montana comes from points eastward, especially from S, Paul and the vicinity. Some Montana men who have thoroughbred cattle are thinking of establishing creamories at some central point, where butter will be made. If the seheme 1ssuccessiul an attempt will follow at cheese. There can be no doubt that such a scheme will be faurly successful if sufliciently re- stricted, for at present the population of the tervitory is small and widely dis- persed. —— TuERE are in Deadwood flouring mills that are buying wheat to the amount of two thousand bushels a day, and paying for it at the rate of a dollar a bushel. The farmers haul it in their wagons and get their money on the spot. They do not pay a cent for commission, nor are their minds harrowed by the ex- tortions of any railroad company, nor have they to pay elevator charges, Plowing for wintor wheat will be car- ried on in the Black Hills region at a great rate in consequence of the money there isin the home market, CABINET CONJECTURES Speculation nnd suggestions rogard- ing the eabinet of General Harrison are in order, and the subject will receive public months. democrats vinst the the more or less prominence in ats tention for the next four During the campaign tho endeavored to make eapital ag republicans by asserting that event of Harrison’s election Mr. Biaine would have the first cabinet portfolio and would direct the policy and conduct of the administration. The probability, however, is that Mv. Blaine will hold portfolio under President . and it is doubtful if he Notwithstanding the vigor ampaign, his health would justify exacting duties of in Harrisou de- to. he showed in th 8 wot such as 1im in assuming th cabinet position, and it is that he may replace Me. Phelps at English court, which probably w be much more to his liking than any ial pokition at home. It may be remarked, also, that most republicans would be quite as well satisfied that Mr. Blaine should represcut the country in England as that he should be at the head of the hinet, If General Harrison follows precedent he will offer the portfolio of secretary of state to Senator Sherman, who was the leading undidate in the national convention, and i questionably the appointment would be acceptable to the country. Mr. Sher- man is generally regavded as only a financier, but there is no reason to sup- pose that he would not make as honor- ablea vecord in diplomacy, and he would certainly be o safe man at the head of the state depavtment. Without bluster, he would maintain the rights and dignity of the country. and the government would not suffer humilia tion from such mistakes as have mude t1 « present administeation of the state iggested the uld of department disugreeably memorable. There are excelient reasons why the great west shouid be represented in the finaneial department of the ernment, which needs divorcing from the influence of Wall street, W perhaps mo mor capable id generally acceptable man for this position could be suggested than Sena- tor Allison. He stands in the estima- tion of the country next to Senator Sherman in thoroughuess and sound- ness as a financier, and there are rea- sons why he would be more accoptable to the west than the Ohio senator. [or the other cubinet positions there are scores of available men, and the only trouble which General Harrison i likely to experience in selecting his cabinet is that of determining who, oat of the great number from which he may choese, are likely to best satisfy the people and most ably a in the ad- ministration of the government. He can be trusted to do this with primary reference to the welfare and honor of the country. w- THE SUPREME COURT. The success of the vepublican party in the national campaign gives assur- aunce that the supreme court of the United States cannot for at least four years to come be placed under demo- cratic domination, and this is by no means the least important of the ad- s 10 be gained from republican victory. Two of the republican justices, Miller and Bradloy, have reached an age and passed a term of service on the hench which entitle them to vetire, and it is altogether probable that both of them will within the next four years avail themselves of this privilege. Another, Justice Matthews, Is in precarious health and may not live through an- other administration. The democratic party is now represented on the supreme bench by Chief Justice Fuller and Jus- tices Field and Lamar., The appoint- ment of two more democrats would give that party a majority in the supreme court, and it is entirely probable that the re-election of Mr. Cleveland would have insured such a result. With the democratic party in control of the supreme court, and its representa- tives on the bench of that tribunal dominated by southern views, it cannot be doubted ti impoctant prin- ciples which have been estah- lished for years by the decixions of that court would be overthrown, and that many of the results of republi- can wisdom and patriotism during the past quarter of a century would be lost. If domocracy were securely intrenched in the supreme court it would have a power hardly less great for mischief and for reactionary purposes than if it hold possession of every other branch of the government. From the bench of that tribunal it could not only undo many things accomplished that are objection- able to it, but nullify future republican legislation in conflict with its tra- ditional views of the limitations of the constitution. And there can be nodoubt that it would use this power to the farthest extent possible. It is consequently a matter of the highest importance that a republi=- can administration will fill whatever vacancies shall occur on the supreme bench within the next four rs, and a5 we have said there will doubtless be two and very likely more. Inanyevent there is the assurance that the judieial last resort will not for at ast another four yeavs be transferred to the control of the democratio party, 2nd upon this the country can be heart- ily congratulated. ————— OMAHA'S VOTE AND POPULATION. The charter-mutilators who, two years ago lobbied night and day against the republican delegation from Douglus county, and are justly held responsible for leaving Omaha without registration, are new tearing their garments over the defeat of the repubfican candidates to the legislature. In theirfrenzy they charge that thousands of votes were polled illegally by the democrats and make believe that Omaha's vote is enormously inflated, by making compar- ison between the vote of 1887 on judges and that of 1838, In this, as in all things, our republican contemporar only suceeeds in making a fool of itself. There is no doubt that from five hun- dred to one thousand votes were polled fraudulently last Tuesday for want of registration. But there were more than that number of voters disfranchised by reason of closing at 6 o'clock, standard time, which prevented hundreds of workingmen from reaching the polling places in time. The vote last year was notoriously very light and known to represent less than halfl of the actual voting population. Huudreds of repu licans staid away from the polls because they did nol want to vote the yellow dog judicial ticket. This as in all presidential years, there was a full vote polled, and the efforts of the combine to beat Leese drew out than the of the employes of jobbers and railroads. Omaha has herctofore marked disparity betweer vea more shown a her known population and her vote. This time, the vote, at the ratio of sis persons to each vote cast, bears out her claim to a population of overone hundred thousand. Comparing her vote with that of otl cities, the proportion of voles to the population is not in the least exager- ated. The basis of eight persons 10 each voter is ridiculously inflated, and while it may sceve the purpose to indi- eate enormous election frands it will not stand the test of statistical comparison with other American cities. The true ratio is five to six inhabitants to the vo- ter and no more. Tre jute mills all through the try scem to bein abad way. It was a clear case of killing the govse that laid the golden egg. They sapplied all the cotton bagging used by the southern planters, but not satisfied with this, th organized atrust in order to cnhance theirown profits. Thelr success was merely tomporary. They put the price of cotton bagging so high that the southern planters were compelled to seek for asubstitute, and found oue. The result has been that the jute man- ufacturers have lost their market, and the prospects are that they never will recover their former ground. The son of the jute bagging trast will not he jost on the monopolies in other commo- dities. They see how eusy itis for them to overreach the mark and tum- ble in the grave dug for the people. The failure of the jute ring has done more to check the growth of monopolies than all the laws enacted against com- bines and trust coun- los- THE amateur journalist who intro- duced the novelty of adouble-barrelled, independent organ, and two weeks be- fore election espoused the cause of Cleveland, has made discovery that Douglas county went democratic be- cnuse a very considerable portion of the republican party repudiated Flarrison on account of the high tariff plank. This is in keeping with the shallow under- standing which our remarkable contem- porary has exhibited all along in d ing with political questions and candi; dates, Ttison onapar with his sup- port of McShane, Morton and Submis- sion. Had he taken the trouble to iook below the surface he would have found that the democratic majority in this county is due to the submission plank injected into the republiean plat- form against the remonstrance of the delegation from Douglas county, which predicted just what has happened. StT. Louts has the honor of raising the first monument to the memory of ( 1 Grant, and local politicians of th: sce ab least one effect of it already in the three repunlican congressmen clected there on Tuesday. The demo- crats were disgusted at the bourbon de- mocracy that had secured control, and had rung in prohibition for the purpose of conciliating the republicans. Asthese are for the most part Germans the plan did not work for a cent, and the result is that the very home of the democracy bas suddenly gone republican—thus for- feiting for the next twenty years ail claim to be chosen for democratic con- ventions, WHILE the prospects for statehood of the northwestern territories are very bright, it must be confessed that Utah will still remain in the background. The only possible solution of the Mor- mon problem is a heavy gentile immi- gration, which is not likely to happen, 50 long as there are good openings else- whe This is to be lamented because Utah is probably one of the most agree- able and healthy climates in the world, and possesses a most fertile soil besides great mineral wealth, Tt isa place for happy homes, not for great fortunes, as those discover who venture to settle there, TiE treasury surplus on October 50 amounted to seventy-four millions, During the month it had been reduced by bond purchases about twenty mi lions. But now that a change of ad- ministration is assured, it is a question whother Secretary Fairehild will 1 justitied in continuing his policy. The question of reducing the government’s income comes before congress in De- cemt v, and Secretary Fairchild will very likely be guided by its’ delibera~ tions in his future dealings with the surplus. THe eity of Buffulo wants Grover Cleveland to come home at once. Four years ago the people of Buffalo thought they could unot part with bim and so gave Blaine a mujority of 1,053, Butat the last election they felt mere than ever that Grover had staid away long enough and gave Harrison a majority of 1,509, My, Cleveland appreciates the compliment and will take up his abode among his fellow townsmen after March 4. ——— OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The British government in India bas just published the yearly report of the railways for 1857. These roads are of sowewhat peculiar standing. One or two were commenced prior to the Sepoy mutiny of 1857, but the major number were built after its suppression, wad after their necessity as & military moasure had been demoustrated, The consequence is that they arc ot remunerutive from the financial standpoint, but the loss does not fall upon the stockholder, but upon the In- dian government. These roads are of three classes, 1st, guarantced ocompanies whose dividends of 6 per cent are paid regularly to the stockholder in England, no matter what the earnings may be: 2nd, roads built by the province and operated by the govern- ment of the province; Srd, roads built by the proviuce aud operated by lessees. In Li- dia there are four great provinces, Bombay; Madras, Bengal and the Northwest ro- vinces, and in each of these the goverawent consists of X gBvernor and a council. Thess Iocal governments have been compelled for their own existence to build military ronds, as for rxample the line to Quettan in Afghanistan is_built from Peshawat in the Sikh country by the government of the northiwost proyinces. The total loss to the governmenf8#dndia since the beginning of the railroad era has heen 185,000,000 all of which has been draggod out of the iife plood of the unhappy Hindoos, For it must be re membered that it js not the British govern- ment that guarantoes the dividend on Indian ratlroad stock, but the general government of India, and the momey is raised by taxa ation. lingland has forna in this railroad system an admirable screw by which she b squeezed ont of India every rupee. Ind periodically in dobt to Iingland and domonetization of silver makes thines w for the debt is in rupecs, and has to be trans. lated into pounds sterling, and fhe effect of the process is to make itone-third larger. India is fast drifting into the condition of Ireland, in consequence of the vomplete drainage of hor gold and silver by Eagland, and the advent of the Russians is prayed for in_every bazar from Concan to the Decean, and from Cashmere to Point de Galle is the Ttis safe assertion that less is known of the of Brazil than of any other country of this continent, and the province of Matto Grosso is almost a terra mcognita even to the Brazilians themeelyves, 1t is doubtful if this plateau would bo visited at all were it not for the diamonds found there. At present the other sources of this precious stone in Brazil are becoming fearly less and less fertile, and Diamantivo in Matto € is the only that can still be counted on. That great stone called the Stav of the South, weighing cut 124 cavats, came from this locality. North of the mountains which divide the province into two regions is and occupiced entirvely by Ind tribes known as Xingee, who are rather behind hand, and in fact offer a marked argument against the theories of various eth- nologists as to the successive waves of progress of humanity., Theso abori ginals are still in the earliest or paleolithic stage, having no metal implements and do ing all their cutting with stone knives and axes. They have no domestic animals, not even a dog. ~ They live Lo a great extent on fish, and arc unacquainted with the banana, the’ sugar cane, or any of the tropical pro ducts most widely dispersed. They have no myths, nor any comprehensible view of na- ture and of God. They cultivate maize, cot: ton and tobacco, and they mal sun_ dried pottery. If their existence was not known to beof to-day, it might be attributed to the pulutitte peoples of Central Europe in antedi luvian times. Such is the account Dr. Von Steinen gave of them in his recent, lecture at Rio Jancrio, and he asks the question very pertinently if these Indiuus present a type of arrested development, or of degradation from civilization. Their agricultural condi- tion agrees with both yiews. interior gion a " The Nicaraguan canal expedition is open ing up to public knowledge some of the oldest Spanish cities in America, which have been ruined by cataclysms or put asiae by the im- perious demands of commerce. Such o city is Cartago on the great central plateau of Costa Rica, which used to be the capits great province in the old Spanish days, and owes its decadence not only to the fact that the coffec business had concentrated in San Jose, the modern capital, and Punta Arena on the Pacific side, but to repeated destriic tions by earthquakes and eraptions. Nuples has its Vesuvius, Palermo its Etna, and Cartago is veriodically devoured by a mon- ster named Irazn, Thisisan old Maya word, and has been translated as Four Months, which is a very correct description of the mountain, for it has four craters. Two of these are no longer voleanic, but tiwo stillare active, and puff and smoke, and_occasionally & red hot boulder into the streets of Cartago. Owing to the result of arbitration with regard to land on the Sarapiqui river in dispute between Costa Rica und Nicaragua a little life has crept into the languid veins of Cartago, and it is partly waking up. It is within the bounds of possibility that the coffee trade, or af foast a fair shave of it, will concentrate around Cartago, for when the canal becomos an established fact, nothing will be easier than to establish coffee planta- tions on the castern slopes of the platcau and send the bags down the Sarapiqui to the canal and thenceto our Atlantic ports. So goes the whirligig of fortune. Up to-day, down to-morrow. drop « Australia has developed new gold fields in the southwest, which is a part of that great island comparatively unknown. Even globe trotters—men who lave been round the world—know very little beyond the fact that the capital is called Perth, and that it is o great country for breeding horses. The British artillery in India is uorsed chicfly with animals from this region. And now news has arrived of excessively rich placer diggings not far from Perth. A man came in with a nugget weighing 103 ounces, which he had found in & placer mine at Pinjarra The government has estabiished regular gold fields with warden’s courts for tho cheap and speedy settlement of disputes about claims and gold is pouring into Perth, which will probably become as famous as Sidney or Melbourne. Victoria, Meanwhilo the papers of Brisbane, the capital of Queen- land, on the eastern coust of Australia, are growling because miners are straying off to Burneo and New Guinea, wherc there are also auriferous lopes of & very tempting kind, New Guinea has always been noted for the gold washing doue there, from which indced it derives its name, but Boxneo is a new miners’ paradise, The 'Dutch_gov- ernment and the native rajahs arc unanimous in inviting immigration and offering mineral concessions, but there is no inducement for any save those with capital, for it is all quartz mining. The reefs are said to be the Jargest in the world, but how rich they arc has yet to be discoverad. It cannot be doubied that we are on the eve of great addi- tions to the #old supply of the world and this ought to enhance the value of silver. But it will not, because the gold conspiracy is too strong. . ' Very erroncous views are entertained by scusible men with regard to French cham- pagne. S0 enormous is the consumption all over the world that not a few intelligent writers have advanced the statement that much of the article sold must necessarily be spurious. And siuce the ravages of the oidium and phylloxera in France thoy have been conftrmed in this view, because in spite of the falling off in the vintage the supply of champagne has increased yeavly, vot dimin- ished. Logleally there would seem to be no «scape from the conclusion that much alloged chompagne is bogus, But it is not so, and the fact may be stated that only genuine champagne s ever sald 1 reputablo restau- vants hotets and barrooms. The mistaken casoning arises from insuflicient knowledge. Champagne 15 an artificial wine, or as the French term it, @ fabricated wine made by mingling together the red and white wines of Burgundy. And s no disease has ever manifested itself in that region there is practically no Limit to the manufacture. ‘The process 18 a long, ex- pensive one, for it is impossible to make champagne in less than fifteen months, and morethan eighteen per cent of the bottles are brokeu by the carbonic acid naturally in- herent in" the mingled viutages. There are souie wines which are naturally effaryescent, and-these have boen called natural cham pagnes, but such a term is misleading, for there {s much more to champagne thai the mere eflervescence, No country —imports more champagne than America, and 1o peo- ple enjoy it more than we do, and it 13 safe to say that it would be impossible to pass off upon an American a spurious bottle, The output of champugne according to the Kheims chamber of commerce was for the last year 1,524 bottles, of which 17,257,084 were exported and 3,076,639 consumed in France. ce Ferdinand,” of the Hohenzollern who 18 the present ruler of Bul , has succeeded in winning the affection of his subjects—to the intense disappoint- ment of Russian intriguers, The brave Prince Henry of Battenberg in spite of his victory over the Servians at Sliviuitza was not able to consolidate his authority over the Bulgarians suficiently to silence the pro- Russian voleos comstantly raised ia Sofia Pri | and the result was that he was driven ont of the country. The present rulor is a hear relative of the emperor of Germany and wil thorefors be sustained by Austria, becauss nothing could be more consonant with tho prosent poiiey of the Harpburg tham the guining of Slavonic adherents in_the Balkan country. Austrin means to be the western Slavonic country, in opposition to Russia, the eastern Slavonie country, 8o that all which Russta bas gained by the crime of murder. ing Poland is the spectacle of Austriastand ing in its place championing the Polish ideas, sheltering the wandering_ Polish refugeos and affording an outlet to Polish enthusiasm and energy. This policy meots with the hearticat encouragement = from the great chancellor of Germany and, therefore, it can not bo doubted that Prince Ferdinand will be most strenuously supported by Austria, for he is a piedge to the Hapsburgs by the Holienzollerns that Germany is one with Aus tria in her Slavonic movements, 1t is a fact that all the batties of Russia with Turkey have resultod to Austria's advant o, Russla, instead of emerging from her interior lan nstantinoplo will be forced to ¢ Minor for that pur- and efore remain to all in- nd purposes an Asiatic power. This may not be in accordance with the ideas of the Russians, but it is in line with the best interests of the country. Nothing could be better for Barope and for Russia itself than a kingdom of Roumelin, including Constanti nople ruled by an Austrian archduke and forming a part of tho Austrian empire, With the Russians in possession of the whol of Asin Minor and Austrian influcncos in Constantinople there would be a revival of commerce, art and scienee in the Levaut by which the whole world of civilization would profit. Russia’s mistake has constantly been to iguore the dualism of the Slavonic peope, and the succoss of Austria 18 because her movement was i accordance with that dualism, The Russian government is planning great engineering enterprises in Siberia, though the locality is not one where an ordinary reador would expect to find a great combina tion of railroads and canals, such as has been proposed. It will be done because it is a trade necessity, Tho commerce between China and Russia has hitherto been concen- trated at the frontier own of Kiachta which is built on tie river Selingen, a tributavy of the great body of water known as Lake Baikal. The bales of goods and the birch tea are now packed on the backs of drome- daries and carried from China across the deseat of Kobi to Kiachta, T two years out of three suficient rain falls in the desert to supply these anumals with vegetation sufi cient for their support, but once m threo years this is not the case, and there is a great mortality among them. The project of the Russtans is to end this state of things, which is becommg year more and more irksome, and to traflic with China by sea. The Chinese junks and other vessels will carry their goods to Viadivostok, which is the eapital of the Amour province, and from this point a railrosd running due north along the Onsuri_ river will make connection with the port of Nicolaievsk in the gulf of Saghalien. At this point the real Siberian railroad will commence. It will run from Nicolaievsk due west to a town named Oust Stretinsk, having traversed the whole prov- ince of the Amour. From this point it will diverge to the southwest, following the Chita rviver until it turns wost again and reaches Kiachta. When this work has been accomplished the road may be continued from Irkutsk to Torusk, but as a canal has also been projected between these points uniting the great river Yenisei and Lake Baikal, it is probavle that Kiachta will be the terminus for many years to come, s STATE AND TERRITORY.

AMUSEMENTS, The comic opera of the “Little Tycoon," which will close un engagement at the Grand opera house with two performances to-day, came t0 Omaha heralded by @ popular sae cess in the cast excptional in the history of productions of this character. It has now occupicd the stage some threo years, growing steadily in favor, and is sironger to-day where it hus frequently been scen than at ity first production. This will easily be believed by thosc of our citizens who have uttended the Graud opera house the last two even. ings, and enjoyed, as_they could not help do- g, the pretty music, the refined comedy, and the pungent satwe which is the motif of this very happy conception in the line of light opera. Avart from its merit. Which 18 vory decided, 88 a tunefui and amusing _production, the “Littlo Tycoon” issuperior to mostoiher works of its class in being entirely clean and free fron the slightest suggestion of _indelicacy whicl might offend the most fastidious. 1t uttests that a thoroughly pleasing entertainment of this kind cau be furnished without a fou- ture objectionable to the mest refined taste, and in accomplishing this its author, Mx. Willard Spenser, descrves a liboral success. Produced under the immediate management and supervision of the author the opera is preseuted with every requireaient, of costuni- ing, scenic effocts and stage appomtmenty to render it most attractive in these respect and the result is cminently praisewortl The company is strong both in numbers and ability, and its work bears evidence of carc- fuland capable_instruction. The star of the cast is Miss Catherine Linyard who as Violet, the daugnter of General Kniekerbocker ‘and afterwards the Little "Tycoon, charms both by her cxcellont sing- ing and her finished acting. The General Knickerbocker is Thomas O, Seabrooke, and he shows himself a comedian of uncommon excellence. M. J. Aldrich Libby sings and acts well in the part of Alvin Barry, a youny American in love with Violet, and o w € whom he assumes the role of the Gre Tyeoon, Mr. Liloyd Wilson is very accep! bie as Kufus Ready, and the Teddy of Joseph Mealy is one of the catehing features of tho entertainment. Miss Elvie Crox hus u part of considerable importance in Dolly Dimple, Violet's schiool friend, und she carries it with vivacity and pituaicy. The Miss Hur ricane, of Marie Sunger is not to be over- looked, for she supplics her share of the 'fun and does S0 most ac ceptably. There are several pretty and calching airs_in the opera, notably **Lovo Cowes Like a Summer Sigh” and “Tell Mo, Daisy,” aud these are charmingly rendered by Mids Linyard. The choruses are strong and show thorough drill, and it can be said of the lady members that they are all youug, with fresh voices, pretty faces and i manncr denoting modesty and rofinement. The com edy is continnous, the interest of the auditor is kept active by & rapid tlow of incident, and Itogether the “Little ycoon” furnishes an ntertainment which nobody can fail Lo enjoy SKIN, SCALP AND BLOOD Diseases Cured by Cuticura Remedies when 1ot Springs, Doctors and all other Medicines Failo Having been a sufferer for twe half from o disease caused by a brulse on the Iog, and having been cured by the CUTICURA KmdiEnies when all other methods aiud rome dies failod, 1 deem it my duty Lo recorimend them, Hot Sprines (o no ayail, aid twied soyeral doctors without success, and it Inst our princiy ol I, Finliy (to whom | shall ever fecl gratefil, spoke 10 o whout Coricuis, and I consented (o wive them 8 trial With ) pertutly cired, L1 think T can ¥ sufferings The Cutie and skin efer o draggist Joln P.
