The outgoing are Charles . Gere county and Leavitt Douglas county. Whether M, ill be n candidate or is unknown. Probably he will rest satisfied with the emoluments of the Lincoln postof and keenly recalling the fact that he 11 over 1,000 behind his ticket six years ago will retiro gracefully. This is the more to be expected because Hon, C. H Morrill, formerly of Polk county, has moved to Lincoln and can represent that city in the eapneity of ident ant. The chances are that if Mr, Ge should ure a nomination, which is not prob: sle, that ho would be defeated at the polls. Whether Hon, Lenvitt Burnham will seck a renomination is not known at this writing. The growing out of Mr. Gere's active participat the state and his gener- ally acknowledged ations the corporations do not obtain in the case of My, Burnham, and therefore whether he be nominated or some other from Douglas county to veplace him, is a mat- interest to this discus- conventio An court and two regents 1o regents of Lanc Brunham astor of Gere objections n in the nolitics of oblig to man tor of no espec sion. Honorable Amasa Cobb is expecting a renomination, He oblivious to the fuct that his earcer as a justice of the supreme court has not won him pop- ularity. Promoted from a partnership with the chief attorney of the B. & M. voad to the supreme bench, naturally onough the people have lacked confi- dence in him. His actions last winter in connecticn with the legislative diffi- nd later his decision in the gubernatiorial contest have created further antagonism. The anti-monopoy republicans will not support him bo- cause they consider him under corpo- vation influence. He would draw no strength from the independent party for the reason that they regarded his rulings as partisan to an ex- tremo the legislature was organized. He could not hope for democratic ‘votes because of his action in the Boyd-Thayer con- test. Whether the suspicions of the people at large, and tha objections of the opposition ave valid or otherwise need not be considered. They exist, and they make Judge Cob the wenkest man it would be possiblo to nominate for the supreme beneh. Some friend should explain the situation to him candidly and if possible save him the humiliation of probable defeat in the nominating convention and cortain disaster av the polls should he be nomi- nated. e is a man of dignity, of abil- ity and has a noble caveer back of him which his best friends would grieve to see embittered by the almost certain re- sults of an attempt to succeed himself on the supreme bench of Nebraska. The man whom the republicans should nominate must be free from the slightest suspicion of corporation influence. In addition to being a thoroughly compe- tent man for the highest judicial posi- tion in the state, he must have back of him a character and carcer absolutely unassailable. We going into the coming campaign to win. We desire not only to elect our own candidates for as- sociate justice of the supreme court and regents of the university, but we are closing up the lines and cutting off the stragglors, sutlers and camp followors for the more important campaign in 1892, Under the circumstances repub- licans cannot permit selfish interests, personal friendships or enmities ot any other incidental or extrane- ous conditions to prevent the vention this year from making the best ket possible and placing it upon a platform which the people will recog- nize as candid, clear and conclusive We have 75,000 votes as the nucleus with which to fight 70,000 independeuts and 50,000 democrats. The remaining 20,000 votes ara mostly ours if we show to them that the railroads are out of politics so far as the republicans are concerned and give to the peovle a clean, able man with whom to defeat the independent ignoramus, This is plain talk but it is common sense and political honesty. apponrs culties dogree when are con- THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS. The congress to be held in Salt Lake City next week, in the interest of irvi- gation, will be the first of a series in- tended to present this important ques- tion in all it phases more fully and thor oughly than has yet been done to the attention of the public, and to evoke such a discussion of it as will suggest and lead to judicious legislation. Tt is pre- sumed that the intelligent public is al- ready pretty well informed ns to the main There isa vast arid region a considerable part of which can be made available for agriculture by irrigation, There is no doubt regarding the pro- ductiveness of irrigated lands, because it has been widely demonstrated. There is o very general sentiment in the west that so much of the arid region as can bo reclaimed should be brought into the market for sottlement soon possible. But how this shall best be togethor with the ques- tions as to water rights, equities of land owners, and others of equal importance, matters regarding which public sentiment has not erystallizod and which require to be discussed. This is what the Salt Lake congress is called for, and if it shall be composed of representative men of the states and territories most intorested in this subject its delibera- tions will command general attention and exert a strong influence. There can be nu question regarding the importance of the subject of reclaim- ing the arid vegions, Whether or not ovidence be given to the opinions of the statisticians who say that within five yours the wheat-producing lands of the United States will be exhausted, and that thereafter we shall be compelled to import whoat in evder to supply the home demand, one thing seems to be almost certain. That s, that the European demand upon this country for breadstufts will never be materially less than now, with the chances of its steadily growing with the growth of population, so that in order to provide for this demand and question, as us dono, are | | reference OMAHA DA LY the own country we agricultaral small part of the reclaimablo s also owing requiremonts of cu hall need to extend our Of course vid region but what- needed, much at can- only o would probably wheat, aver the unless the statistics are very fault, and the work of recl not be necomplished in a day.

Hon, Lincoln has made excellont in England. He has performed his diplomatic duties with wa good judgment, and he has ful- filled his social functions with intelli- and dignity. It was alleged his predecessor, not without that he was more in sympathy with British than with American institutions. He courted the favor of the English nobility and as a rule was coldly formal in his treatment of his own countrymen, Amev visiting London and seeking courtesies only to be obtained through the minis- tor leorned that they must have the highest credentizls of wealth and social position at hothe in order to receive any consideration from Mr. Phelps, who represented the government at the court of mes during the Cleveland dministration. In a pub- lic way he manifested a hearty liking, if not a preference, for English institutions, and it was largely for this reason that ho beeame popular with the ruling class there. There has been a decided chan, since Mr. Lincoln went to London. Without ever having been in the slightest degree offensive to British sentiment or fecling, he huas never lost sight of the fact that he is an American minister, representing at the court of a monarchy republican institutions. o citizen of the United States having as such a proper _claim upon the attention of the minister fails to receive due con- sideration from Mr. Lincoln, and he finds none of that chilly conventionality about the diplomatic headquarters which a fow years ago rendered them uncowm- fortable and forbidding to the American visitor. M, Phelps, our minister to Germany, entered the diplomatic service well equipped for its duties. In congvess ho was for a number of years a membor of the foreigu relations committee, in which apacity he was enabled to very thor oughly inforr himself regarding the rela- tions of the United States with other governments, A gentleman of scholurly attainments and extended experience in public affairs, he promptly established himself in the respect und confidence of the German government, and events show that no American minister in recent years has exerted so. grest an influence there. Mo Whiteldw Reid, our minister to France, has shown a degree of diplomatic ability which per- haps his closest friends did not expect him to develop so soon. Without vious experience in public affairs, and the greater part of his life having been devoted to journalism, which is not the best of schools in which to fit a man for diplomatic duties, Mr. Reid has al- ready made u record of which he may justly be proud. His negotiations with the French government have been char- ucterized by signal good judgment and ability, and the success which to be assured will entitle him to high rank among the most useful foreign ministers the United States has ever had. The diplomatic service of the country was never, as a whole, at a higher standard than it is at this time. Never before were American interests abroad more carefully watched and guarded, At no previous period of its history was the United States so strong in the 1e- spoct of the great nations of Europe. The credit for this belongs solely to the vepubiican party,and it appeals strongly to every citizen to sustain that party in order that so fortunate a condition of af- fairs shall be maintained. like su corps as b, the Robert an record care gence ngainst good reasons, s pre- ppenrs EUROPE is hungry and this has helped America to secure the removal of re- strictions upon American pc in many and Denmark, and will soon in- duee Franco to accept our inspected and certitiod meats, THe independents of Massachusetts have nominated a mun for governor named Winn, The independents will discover thut there is nothing in a name in the Mussachusett's political strugglo this year.

Ho was givon up for dead but nevertheless re- covored When physically able he roturned to his | old home to seek the bride whom he had left nearly five vears beforo. But tho surpriso and joyful meeting that he had dreamed of neyer ocourred. His bride had disappeared. Yoars of waiting and inquiry revealed nothing concerning her whereabouts and the soldier finally gave up ail hopes of his wife being alive. - Onn vague report was received that sho was dond In the course ot time young Troop mot an other young lady with whom bo fell in lovo and, bolieving that he was free to wed, he made her his wife, Ior nearly tweuty-five years Joseph and his socond wifo have enjoyed atife of marital happiness until a few weeks ago, when he ac- cidentally learnod that his first wifo was living, For a number of days tho old soldier was prostrated, Finally he sssured his second wife that aftor living with her a quarter of @ century that there was nothing on earth that would part them, and he would do ali in his power to legitimatize the noble young sons ana daughters that had been born to them, He therefore decided to com- mence a suit for divorce from wife on the grounds of In case the decreo is granted he docly he will again take in weualook the faithful woman who hay beon the sharor of his joys and woes for a quarter of a century, SUING SALOON MEN.
