East St. Louis is yet be- yond the pale. ——— Tae Chippewa outbreak in Minne- sota promises a libernl harvest of good Indians. White lead possesses a fever- ish affection for redskins. Em—— IN Missouri a bank. president has been jailea for receiving deposits after his bank was insolvent. Nebraska state bank officials should profit by this ex- smple. . E———— Now let the property owners wha were awaiting the location of the new postoffice carry out their promises by the immediate erection of palatial buildings. Now that the negotiations between” the northwestern railroads and thelake routes Lave fallen through, the railroad Borizon is likely to be soon ablaze with @ lurid rate war. NEXT to the development of the Wyoming petroleum fields is a pipe line to Omaha. Within a decade the fuel problem wili be permanently solved for this vicinity. SOME of our ‘“finest” would earn the grnmudu of our citizens if they would ag some of the hurglars about the city Instead of trying to trap liquor dealers into breaking the laws. —— AN establishment for the manufac- ture of electric appliances is promised to Omaha. - Such a factory would huve n large fleld before it and would he an - impoFtant addition to our industries. MASSACHUSETTS has the superinted- ency of Indian schools, Rhode Island has the commissionershipand the great west has the Indians. This is a settie- ment of the Indian question highly satisfactory—to the east, THae Union Pacific bridge can be du- licated for six hundred thousand dol- ars. The construction of a free railroad bridge would add ten millions to the industrial prosperity of Omuaha in less than three years. TiE counties and towns of northern Nebraska are voting liberal subsidies ;. for the proposed link between Yankton " and Novfolk. What does Omaha intend to do in secyring a direct railroad con- _ mection to the north THE coal dealers of the city complain " that the ordinance regulating the sale -of conl is excessive and burdensome, But it is difficult to seo how this can havpen, unless it be so only by compari- son with the weight of the average ton of coa! sold, \ S— Tue business men of Omaha have seen how easily thousands of visitors can be attracted by the success of the fireman’s tournament at Council Bluffs. Now is the time to take an actlve interest in the preparations for the merchants’ carnival this fall. CETET—— THE recent expedition of Omaha cap - italists to the Wyoming oil fields veri- fles the claims of THE BEE that their development will play an important part in the industrial evolution of the west, ‘Work is progressing at a rate that will place the product on the market withia two years. The interests of Omaha and Nebraska in that vich region, il prop- erly handled, will contribute enormously to the prosperity of both, em—e—— SENATOR ALLISON'S return home in- dicates that for the present, at least, the senatorial committee investigating our relations with Canada has sus- pended the taking of testimony. The committee certainly necds a recess. If * it be the purpose of this commission be- fore makinga report to cougress to couciliato the selfish demands of the Pacific slope with the liberal views of Minnesota respecting trade intercourse with Canada, diplomacy will have to pick her way on tip-toe betweon the clashing interests. A FRIEND OF THE BANKS The new comptroller of the currencyy Mr. Laocey, is a strong friend of the Na- tional banking system. He believes that the interests of both the people and the government require that the system shall be maintained, and he loses no opportunity to impress this view upon membersof congress, and particularly those from the west. He thinks the system ought to be main- tained even if the banks were allowed to greatly reduce the deposit of bonds for circulation, compulsory under the law as it now stands. His poliey, like that of his predecessor, is to extend the system as much as possible in the west and southwest, with a view to making its advantages better understood in com- munities unfriendly toit. Mr. Lacey is a practical banker, and he is roported to be giving careful study to the several methods which have from time to time been suggested for preserving the sys- tem. It is expected that he will renew the recommendations of his predecessor, that the banks be authorized to issue notes to the full amount of the bonds de- posited as security; that the tax on circulation be repealed, and that the minimum of circulation allowed be re- duced. The question of new legislation for the national banks will in all probabil- ity ongage the attention of the noxt congress, bt it can not be said at pres- ent with any degree of certainty what the dominating sentiment regarding them will be. It is reasonably exvected, however, that there will be less hostil- ity manifested toward the banks than in the last congress. sSéveral of the most vigorous opponents of these institutions will not be in the next congress, and with, perhaps, an exception of two, their places will be filled by republi- cans who are believed not to be opposed to maintaining the national banking system. Awnother hope that the sys- tem will receive fair. considera- tion from the noxt congress is found in the fact that the organization will be in the hands of the republicans, and that the committee on banking and currency will be composed of men better disposed to consider what may be required to perpetuate the national banking system than were the majority of those who constituted this committee 1n the last congress. Tt is apprehended, however, that the chances of getting any bauvking legislation will depend largely upon whether the majority in the Fifty-first congress can effect such changes in the rules as will do away with the power of an obstructive minority. Unless this is done, not only banking, but other equally i1mportant legislation that will proceed from the majority may fail. Meanwhile the friends of the national banking system will find encouragement in the knowl- edge that it has the support of the ad- ministration, and that it it gets from the noxt congress no legislation de- signed to give the relief thought to be just and necessary and to insure its oxtension and continuance, thers can be none hostile to THE SITE SELECTED. The new federal building has been definitely located on the site that was originally designated for this purpose by Mrs. Grover Cleveland. A weak kneed, vacillating secretary of the treasury, bullied and threatened into submission by Senator Manderson, has fathered the job, begotten by the demo- cratic administration. In the decision itself all citizens of Omaha must acquiesce. Their inter- est has been and is now to have the new postoffice building erected as rapidly as is consistent with red tape and the delays always incident to pub- lic construction. That the site chosen is not the best among those offered must be charged up to Senator Mander- son. : Viewed from a standpoint outside of atl personal considerations, it will soon be manifest that Omaha has been crippled and her growth ma- terially retarded. Had the Lowe-Hoagland site or the corner of Eighteenth and Farnam been desig- nated there would have been a quarter of a million dollars expended this seu- son for grading alone. Whole blocks would have goue down to grade and given place to palatial structures to match those already up between Six- teenth and Eighteenth streets. A million dollar hotel would have inev- itably followed and a building boom such as we have never seen would have been induced. Now what improvements are we likely to get around the Planters’ house square as the result of the site selected? Who will build anything worth lookiug at in that vicinity? Father-in-law Crounse may possibly expend five hun- dred dollars in fresh paint- ing his block. Judge Neville will probably erect a two or three-story flat with stores underneath, and tho en- terprising Folsoms will have a few more posies dnd roses potted in the hot house on their leased corner. Jim McShane may possibly build another livory stable. The remaining property owners will benefit the community by hoisting the price of their real estate and waiting for some eastern speculators to cowe in and buy them out. This is tho unvar- nished pictune of the effect of Mr. Man- derson’s dictatorship, ‘We expect,. of course, thut our con- temporaries who oppose everything that T BEE favors, no matter how bene- fieial to Omanba, will say that the selection of the site is a black eye to Tue BeE. If by this is meant that Tne BEE will suffer in common with the whole city, we shall not quarrel with the statement. 'T1E BEE has be- come an integral part of Omaha, and, as such, anything that checks the city’s growth or curtails its prosperity is dam- aging. The lminediate effect upon Tue BEE and its uewspaper bwlding will scarcely be perceptible. Tue SBEE building stands on the corner of Ssven~ teonth and Farnam, and uot on the cor- ner of Eighteenth and Farnam, as soine people have been led to believe. The west part of the new postofiice building will be on Seventeenth strect. In othor words, the east side of the new Bue building and the west side of the new pustoffice building, will be within a block and a half of each other on tie same street. We ¢hall not lese much when it is completed five or six years hence, r—— THE BRIDGE BLOCKADE. The details of the failure of the Mil- waukee rond to obtain access to Omaha over the Union Pacific bridge, as pub- lished in Tk BrE, are substantially correct. reliable source. Denials are useless. It is the history of the Union Pacific repeating 1iself, It is a notorious fact that the Milwau« kee road has always been friendly to Omaha. It broke down the lowa rail- rond combine and did more than any one agency to advance the in- terests of the Omaha stockyards. ‘Whnen it sought entrance to Omaha on a bridge of its own, two yoars ago, it was harassed at oyery step and finally driven from the field by the mercenary agents of the Union Pucific, who had the ear of the Massachusetts secretary of war. Agmn, when the representatives of Nebraska in congress attempted to abolish the third-of-a-mile limit and secure a charter for a bridge at the foot of Davenport street, the all-powerful influence of the Union Pacific forced Congressman Lyman to violate his pledges and defeat the measure by an amendment. Does any reasonable man suppose that the Milwaukee company would under- tole the construction of a bridge and purchase right-of-way into the heart of the city, involving an expenditure of at least three million dollars, if reason- able torms could be secured from the Union Pacific? The truth is that the Tnion Pacific bridge is responsible for the rainbow railvoads which to-day menace the prosperity of Omaha on every side. The company and its agents have openly and secretly conspired to { every movement which promised @ this city railroad and commer- cial freedom. It has robbed the pro- ducers of the west to enrich its stock- holaers, and retarded the industrial de- velopment of Omaha by exorbitant tolls. These facts are familiar to the people of Omaha and the state. The company’s treatment of this city particularly is lined with false promises and paved with broken pledges. We have donated hundreds of thousands of doilars to secure its friendship, and taxed the city and county for fifteen years to se- cure commercinl freedom. Whatis the result? Where is one of her pledges fullilled? It d1d not require the Milwaukee 1n- cident to convince the pecple of this city that there is.no hope of reliéf from the Union Pacific toll-gate. It will continue as heretofore a bar- rier to the prosperity of this city. Its exactions are a blight to commerce and industry, and aslong as it stands without a competi-~ tor so long will the business of this city suffer. We must have another bridge. No amount of promises or pledges, written ororal, should swerve the people of this city from securing a free high- way of commerce over the Missouri river. Even though it cost millions and double taxatioh, it must come, and come soon, and relieve the city from the blighting exactions of the Union Pacific. SeNATOR CULLUM, who is chairman of the senate committee investigating railway relations with Canada, states that he has made up his mind that ulti- mately Canada and the United States will have to inaugurate an arrangement corresponding to the present interstato law. He has found that the oflicials of Canadian roads all affivm that the law hurts them, while Amsrican ra‘lroad officials assert that Canada profits most by the measure. The two senate com- mittees, headed respectively by Mr. Culiom and Mr. Hoar, which have been lookinginto our railway and commercial relations with Canada and ascertaining public sentiment thercon, have made some discoveries that doutless neither of them expected. The most important of these is the widespread feeling in favor of closer relations with Canala. Senator Hoar is reported to have ex- pressed great surprise at finding how general this sentiment is in the north- west, and very likely Senator Cullom has been quite as much sucprised at what he heard of like tenor in the east, Recently the Boston executive business association, an organization represent- ing the most important business inter- ests in the city, adoptad a r opnosing any change in our laws in- tended to restrict the compatition al- forded to the merchants and’consum- ers of New England by the Cana- dian railways. A like feeling was found to exist among the busi- ness men of the northwest. There is no difference of opinion in eithor section rogarding the necessity of re- quiring the alien railroads doing busi- ness in the United States to conform to our laws relating to such business, but the opposition to shutting out, the com- petition of the Canadian roads is very general and earnest. The problem is a delicate and difficult ove, and its solu- tion will require a broad and wise statesmanship., Perhaps it will be found at last only in a commercial union which will make the United States and Canada virtually one as to all their trade relations. Se———— Ir hes turned out that what was first put forward more in jest than in earnest has cowe to pass in Pennsylvania. The Johustown disaster has put a serious damper upon the canvass in that state on the prehibition amendment to be submitted to the people on the 18th, The prohibitionists three weeks ago were working might and main for their cause and were meeting with some suc- cesses. Dut ever since the dreadful loss of life and destruction of property the people of Pennsylvania have been too busy thinking of the unfortunates to have half a mind for politics, The defeat of the amendment is more than certain, and the cold water advocates will have the deluge of the Conemaugh as the excuse for their hard luck. em——pne———— THE “comapany stores” in the mining regions of Pennsylvania are a constant source of strife between workingmen and employers. The system of petty robbery practiced by these concerns is oniy egusled by the exactions of Irish The information came from a | SATURDAY, JUNE ~Workingmen are their slaves. THh can not patronize an op- position #lors without inviting dis- charge, ad@ { many of them a work- 1aon must filitchase a certain amount of @oods per month to avoid the suspicion of dividing his trade. It is not enough to reduce wages to a starvation point; the viotim jnust turn over hfs pittance to the “plugk~me™ stores, thus making him as mucha slave to his employers né those whogs shackles were, unloosed by the conyulsions of war. The min- ers’ union upropose to strike against these fleccing institutions, and every lover of liberty and fair play will wish success to the effort. GOVERNOR HinL, of New York, has very properly declined to give up ‘‘on suspicion” the two Irishmen who ‘are charged upon unpublished evidence with being connectod with the Cronin murder in Chicago. If there is e dence connecting them with tho crime itshould be printed. First arrest your suspect and then gathor evidence is en- tirely too British u form of proceeding to commeond itself to American institu- tions. eryone who has read the do- tials of the inquest over the remains of Dr. Cronin earnestly hopes that his murderers may be brought to justice. No stronger expressions of this have come from any class than from the Irish leaders of the National League, who are courting the fullest investiga- tion of thejr allegad conuection with the crime. The record of the procsed- ings of the coroner’s ‘jury ‘are insafficient as far as printed to convict anyone, and the public owes it to decency to withhold its judgment until a basis is affordel for an opinion. THE repuir of the Chesapeike and Ohio canal apparently is more of a po- litical than am industrial necessity. For years this ancient and obsolete waterway has been muintained more or loss at the expense of the stato, for the benefit of the Gorman faction. The destruction of the canal by the late floods forboded the downfull of thay wing of the democratic party. But the proposition to expend a haif a million for its repairs looks as if Senator Gor- man intends to buy a new lease of power. AND s0 it appe that the civil ser- vice commission is likely to swing around the circle and look into the management of the postofices at In- dianapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Omahd’ and St. Louis. Ifit be the purposs of the commission to see to it that every, postofice be conaucted with the closest referencs to the spirit as well as the letter of the civil sorvice law, there is going to ba considerable work on hand clearing out the Augaan stables. ——— OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The recent wtterance of Lord Salisbury regarding the'tenacing outiook of ffairs in Burope, althongh'rezarded as an exazgzera- tion, finds some warrant from a close ex- amination intg thg present aspect of political affairs. In Eugland there are ominous pre- purations to -increase the navy on a large scale, the sienifisanco of which can not be mistaken. On the continen, although every effort 1s being brovent auny occur- rence which g ato the outbreak of war, circumstances show from tima to time the strong undorcurrents of and e hostility which be carrying the rulers, however un- willing, toward war., The dissensions in Spain are, us yet, to a largoe extent, internal, but are quite violenr, In I > th was) a hope that the ex osition woull bring a po- litical milleaiom. For a tim2 the hopa soemed apout to be realized, bLut the e pearancs of Julss Ferry on thy political stage, closely followad by tho Strasbsurz isode, threw 12aris into o fever heat of For ecighteen years Stiasbourz has been a German possession, and as yot no foreign potentate has given sanction to its forcible appropriation by appaarmng there in person, Emperor William, when he invited King Humbert to Berhn, probaoly had the visit to Strasbourg in view, angd the refusal of Italy’s king to makeé the trip has put un- other strain on the tri ica. Lhe fata of this celebrated alliance now seems very doubtful, The emparor of Austria has moce or less openly and obstinately espoused the papal cause against the strong opposition of both the German and Italian govornments. With the fall of the triplo alliance wauld go oue of the strongest safeguards azainst war that Europe has rccently known, and the ef- forts 1o rastore this union to a firmer basis have been almost frantic, It isto be hoped they will be successful, In Russia two recont eveats have been im- portant. General Ignatioff, one of Russ best diplomats and statesmen, has been re- called to the court. 1o those who rememb; that personage’s connection with the last war, his reappearauce is cortainly not an omen of peace. In addition to tuis, the re- cent officially published utterances of the Czar have guything but a paacefal tone. The head of Russia has spoken 1n a mannor that implics a strong distrust of his western neighbors, and whatever his inteation may be, it is evident that both Austria and Germany feel uneasy also. As to the south- western part of Europe, recent reports show that the Turkish offcials have b22n attempt- ing to foment trouble in the border states of Roumania and Seryia, 1t will be happy for- tune indeed 11, out of all this distrust and hostility, some' chance iucident does not bring matters to'd trisis. The strained atti- tude of armed trues, upon which the ersatar powers have so long stood, can not, in the nature of things, bé kept up much longer, Whether it will be' terminated by a general and thorough upderstanding, or by the out- break of an international war, time alone will show. I . " A new pretenller to the throne of France has just made a Solgmn assertipn of his right. This is none othen than Don Carlos, Duke of Madrid, bead of the House of Bourbon, and known in a somgwhat limitel private circle a8 Charles VIL. King of Spain. “He car- ries about with him” the Prince de Valori says, “‘that immiterial empire which makes his pilgrim's staff & sceptre and his humble traveler's cloak a roval mantle.” It was at o great banquet in Paris on the 21st of May that this fine specch was made, and the Prince de Valori was finounced as the rep- resentative of Charles VIL in France. King Charles Joes not desire the crown of Fran ce for himself; indeed, he would not take it, for all his spare time is now occuvied with the cares of empire. He has, therefore, ap- pomted his heir, the Prince of the Astruiag, dauphin of France, with right of succession. 1t is expeeted that all well disposed persons will govern themselves accordingly. It ught well be thought that even an excel- lently disposod person would find some trou- ble in picking his way through a labyrinth of “rights.” There is the right of the Comte de Paris, aud the right of Priace Jerome, and the right of Prince Victor, and this new right of Don Carlos; of Iate, 100, ‘it has been hinted that there are rights in tho family of Lucien Bonaparte, and nobody is ignorant ot the right of General Boulanger. Thore is Also. it is proper to romind ono's self, a tight of France which is now almost oxactly one hundred years old, - o Tho Shah, in his poregrinations through Europe, is evidently destined to bo a conter of rumors. We have already had oue pre- posterous story of the czar “‘slopping over'? s much in discourteous menaco to him as he was saidto have done in gush over another guest, the Princo of Montenegro, and we have had a contrary and hardly more credible yara of a condition in nac- cordance with which the Russians were to be allowed to overrun Northern Porsia. When the monarch reaches London there will be further crops of rumors about him. But he is only one of many royal and princely personages now on the wing. The day that told of his arrival at Friederichskron also chronicled the meeting of the prince of Montencgro and Emperor Francis Joseph, tho visit of the prince and princess of Wales 1o the Eiffel tower, the meeting of Emporor William and the duke of Kdmburgh av Ber- lin, the intended return of ex-Quecn Natalio to Sorvia, and the projected tour of Prince Atbert Victor through Indfa. Soon, also, Bmperor William is to pay a visit to the British Isles, to be followed by another to Grocce, and, perhaps, for varioty, by a third to Norway; and no doubt these movements will be made to point some ingenious po- litical moral. . Between Switzerlind and Germany a marked coolness now exists, The German government, ever sinco the bomb explosion in Zurich, have been quite uneasy over the fact that so many German soclalists are at largo in Switzerland. Notlong ago a Berlin police official named Wohigemuth was sent to stir up the socialists to some revolutionary action which would insure their banisiunent from ameng the Swi Herr Wohlgemuth commenced operations by bribing a Swiss socialist to foment.a rebellion, but the bribe- taker, instead of following out the iugtruc- tions of the German official, promptly re- ported the entiro procseding to the govern- ment authorities, who immediately put Herr Wohlgemuth in jail. Through the interces- sion of the German government %2 was released, but was given but twenty four hours in which to get back to his native land. Considering the recent newspaper dis- closures in Loudon and the Wohlgemuth affair, it seems evident that Bismarck's recent attempts to interfere in foreign affairs are not remarkably successful. e Tne first anniversary of the emancipation of Braziliun siaves has been receutly cele- brated in that empire, despite the fact that the government is undergoing the excite- ment of a cabinet crises, oly due ‘to the influence of the slaveholding s and the veraistent efforts to force the government to compansate plauters for thoir liberated siaves. While the industrial disturbance; caused by Brazilian emancwation proved much less sorious than had been expected, and rapidly subsided, the political disturbance thus oc- casioned seems to have hecome more and more serious, and the outcome cannot yet be predicted. When the decree of cmancipation was issucd the expressions of popular ap- vroval throughout the cmpire and through- out the world were so loud and earnest that the murmurs of discontent could not be heard, and the dissatisfied planters found themselves silenced. Tha opponents of emancipation were put at further disadvantage by the fact that their predictions of commer- cial disaster aud industrial paralysis were not fulfilled. Although the liberatea slaves did not at once apply themselves, in full force, to wage-earning, the industrial dis- turbance was much less serious than had been feared, and soon ceased to exercise an ou the commerce of the couuntry. al disiurbance, however, gained in popular enthusiasm over eman- cipation subsided and the discoutented slave- holders bacame a political power. The gov- ient freed the sluves as a means of g the spread of republican sontiment and strengthening its own popular sup- port; but, by its action it drove the pianters into opposition and created the anomalous situation of a slaveholding class agitating republicanism as a weans of seeuring re- venge and redress for emancipation of its slaves by tke act of a monarchial govern- ment. gLl wen The rebellion among the mountaineers of Moroceo is spreading, Prince Hamid, the heir to the throne, fallen into their bands, and the sultan is crush the rebels. The sultan ticularly busy for Swo year subdue the fierce mountaineers, who now and then ussume the aggessive. The result has b unfavorable to the sultan’s arms, His enemics can not face him rear his cuief towns, but in their own mountain districts they have not been subdued by any force he has yet brought against them. In May, last year, the sultan toolk tho field i person, with a host of 70,000 men and camp follow against the rebellious tribes who live north west of Mequincz After a few skirmishes the sultan flattered himself that he bad sup- pressed the vovolt, but he had no sooner sct out on his long-promisel visit to Tangier than the whole district burst into flame again, and in the battles that followed the basha of Meqguinez and the sultan's own cousin was among the slain, ‘I'he history of Moroceo as been written in blood by a long line of tyrannical ruiers, wio have been ui surpassed in the world’s annals. for ferocit, and yey, though they have ground their peo- ple by the most cruel despotism, they can not onquer the country they call their own, Here is a land, almost within sight of Eu- rope, Whose mountuins are full of precious metals and whose valleys teem with nature’s blessings, and veu it is one of the most down- troaden, hopeless, and unprogressive parts of the world * »'e Prof. Church, with his American experts and mining machinery, is making satisfac- tory progress in developing the silver mines at Ku-Shan-tsu, in Moagoha, It is believed that he has opencd rich ore already out and in sight to pay for all tho machinery and ex- peuses up 1o the present tine. Prof, Church has also discovered large and valuable de- posits of irop, coal, and other mmerals in the region of the silver mines. Should hig oper- ations bring in real, tangible money profit to the government, it 'will be a great impgtus to American influence in that counuvry. All Chinamen, high and low alike, understand the value of silver; and whoever can produce it in quantities bas a chance to command the confidence and support of the plain peo- ple, as well as tho great governing class of clyil service exawination reformers. GIEEJA? BMEN, The Belgian musician, Ovide Musin, and the Canadian tenor, Whitney Mockridge, are to become American citizens. Jay Gould is said to be in better health than he has beeu 1n fourteen years. Bliud Tom was not drowned at Johrstown as reported. - A change of date saved him. President Carnot of France, is fond of Americans, and is cultivating sedulously the society of our countrywen now in Paris. At his recepuions more Americans can be found than in apy cther drawing room iu Europe. Dan Lamout s talked of #s & democratic past trying to | candidate for governor of Now York b the expiration of David B. Hill's term. Captain Riglo, who recently diod at Grand Tsle, L., is said to havo boen the last sur- vivor of Lafitte’'s famous band of pirates. Ho was the oldest inhabitant of the island, having lived there from the timo that the band was dispersed. In his early days he participated 1 most of Lafitte’s raids, but when the band was broken up took to culti- vating oranges and other fruits, and made a snug hittle fortune. Judgo Rucker, of Colorado, is again talk- ing about Senator Jo Blackburn. He said to n New York reporter: “‘Blackburn, who was drunk when he made his attack upon e, aftorward contradicted himself so pal- pably that ne becamo my best witness, I have loft him to the ridicuie of the public.’, “Is it true what you challenged him to a fght?” I treied my best to put him in stch & position that he would be compe led to challenge me. Buthe never did.” Robert Louise Stovenson, the well-known novelist, who is at present in Honolulu Sandwich islands, will start on another voy- age to the South seas about the middle of the present month, The trading schooner Equator will visit Honolulu about June 15 and will sail with Mr. Stevenson direct to the Marshall islands in the South Pacifie. He will be accompanied by his wife, stopson, and Joseph Strong, an artist. He will be absent abowt a year, and expocts to gather material for a new novel. Cal Brice will nlmost certainly be made chairman of the Democratic National Com- mitteo at its meeting to be held this week in New York. A leading democrat tells the New York World “'Colonel Brice has assured him that Mr. Cleveland is his candidate for 1802, and they will make Brice chairman as a part of their programme. It is the deliberate pur- pose of Mr. Cleveland’s friends to retain their grip on the machinory of the demo- cratic party und work for his nomination again three years hence.” Kinglake, the historian, author of ‘Tho History of the Invasion of tho Crimea,” is seriously ill, and his age precludes his re- covery. Kinglake, when a young man, was a suitor for the hand of a Mrs. Howard, a rich London widow. The widow preferred 1o receive the attentions of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, afterwards emperor of France, and Kinglake never forgave the wicked Frenchman.
