The proper way for him to vindicate himself would be to disprovo the charges. Bringing libel suits threo weeks before election and dismissing them six months or a yonr aftorwards is a very common practice, by which candidatos who are hard prossed by discreditable disclosures man- age to throw dust into the eyes of their credulous followers, I'r 18 snid that our government is now negotiating with the German govern- ment for the removal or reduction of the duties upon certain Amorican agricult ural products in return for the con- tinued freo entry of Germun beot sugar, That such negotiations are in progress 1s not improbable, but it is unlikely that there is any condition of a retaiiatory nature involved. It would be perfectly proper for our government to request the removal of duties on Amevican agri- cultural produets, but to accompany this with a threat, direct, or implied, would be to invite failure. There is a strong sentiment in Germany in favor of repeal- ing the grain duties, and it is likely, soouer or later, to bring this about, but thus far the goyernment has shown a disposition to udhere to this source of | men, distinguished | joyment of th | jon reveuue.

To his men Parnell was during these y the embodiment of political wisdom and lofty patriotism. He was an exacting and imperious leader, but such was the taith and the loyalty of his follower that the exerciso of these uaiities orought no complaint, or at any rate none that was permitted to disturb the power of the Ivish leader. Perhaps at time in his career Parnell stronger with his party or safer leadership than when the dis- sures came regarding his velutions with the woman to whomw he gave his He had triumphed over every enemy that had assailed him, issuing grander and stronger from the conflicts, but from this last attack which shocked the moral sense of the world, it was i possible for him to recover.

[History records few sadder falls from public honor and con- fidence, yet it should not be permitted to cancel or oversnndow the great serv- ices of Parnell to [reland. The death of Parnell will be thought by many not less providential than was his advent in politics The day of his usefulness having passed there was sthat he would do only mischief. Now that he is gone his countrymen, uniting in doing homage to his memory for the good he did, may bandon the factional conflict that hus divided their counsels, encouraged the enemy, und retarded the advance of the Irish cause, and againshoulder to shoul- der pi wrd to the achievement of home rule for lreland, for which the promise appears brighter than ever be fore. re of the commons, his stake, required u wis ion a part causo, nd Par- [rish of th of dozen of its admiva- country- ar no wis name, 50 wore a dinger ess fory CORN IN EUROPE. A New York journal suggests that something ought to ba done to more fully impress upon Lluropeans the value of corn as human food. If the suffering countries of Europe, it observes, had a small portion of our v. orn crops, to- gether with the knowledge of prepuring it for food, and the Yankee taste to eat and enjoy it, starva- tion would have no chance. There 18 corn enough produced in this country to almost feed the world, yot not | the world knows how to it. m of Europe go on eating their black bread, made of a mixture of and inforior wheat, whoily unconscious of the fact that bread made of corn, when properly made, is deliciously pal- atable, is wholesome and nutritious, ¢ood both for the muscle and brain, How shall the half-starved multitudes of Europe be instructed in the virtues of corn as human food? Manifestly sort of missionary work is necessary. Secretary Rusk n short time ago authol ized Colonel Murphy, who has been zenlously laboring for the past two years to ino bring eal some ase the use of corn in Europe, to the matter to the autention of the German government, but it is not known what success, if any, he has met with. Two or three eurs ago it wus suggested that the states in the corn belt should unite upon some plan for making Europeans better acquainted with the merits of corn as food, but nothing of a practical nature The idea, however, good one, and ought not tobe given up, The states of Nebraska, lowa and Kunsas could expend a reasonable sum money to no better was done, of advantage than in establishing in threo | or four of the prineipal cities of Europe “Kitchens” where bread, cakes and pud- dings made from corn formu instruction according to the most approved as could be dis- pensed, and the preparation of the various forms of corn given in politi- | bread. What an auspicious time the present woul | be for such an enterprite, but while nothing can be done now the plan sugzosted need not be thrown out of consideration, for in probability there will always her be room for corn in Kurope if the pe can be taught to appreciate its merits.

L memovial to the great soldieris de- riped work of art, that will convery to the genérations to come a just impression of the hero whom the American people will never to hold in profound reverence and affection while the republic lives. The orator on this most interesting occs sion was the distinguished soldier-jurist, Judgo Walter Q. Grosham, and his ora- jeneral 4 suporh cense and its eulogy of his illustrious chievements as a soldier, has not be surpassed. It is characterized throu, by the intelligent and caveful annlysis to be expected from a well- trained judicial mind, and it is marked also by the ong evidences of an admiration natural to one who was himself an excelient soldier and is a citi- zon whose patriotism is of the highest standard. Nothing was more admirvable out in the character of General Grant than his modest self-effacement, and Judge Gresham gave due prominence to this feature remaria- bly free from that vanity and conceit which have been the w. of many great minds. Greatn was never more unconscious of itself than it was in him. Still Grant knew his abili- ties, ho simply did not think about or dwell upon their greatness, or measure or compare them with the ubilities of others. He “*neither vaunted his abili- ties nor stooped . to defend himself against criticism, but left his country- to tain the measure of his powers, 18 he had learned them for him- self, from the deeds which spoke with no uncertain sound.” Judge Gresham said that whatever may have been Grant’s merits or his de- fects as chief executive, **h tionably our doubtless this b military world, A Grant, he said, was :akness men Was ungues- nd is the judgment of the opinion of the and just com- parison of military achieve- ments with of any other com- wander in the rebellion, on either side, can hardly fail to lead to the conclusion that G not only the greatest soldier of that war, but greater than any other the country has produced, and one of the very foremost captains in history. There is the authority of that great master of military science, Von Moltke, ior this opinion, and although there has been an effort in some quarters not entitled to the highest consid- eration, to depreciate the achievemen ts of Grant, the n no doubt that the verdict of history will give him the first place among American soldiers and [ little helow the greatest that have ever lived. The people of this re- public will unanimously acquiesce in tiis “So long gronte: soldier, fair his those it was e can be rank sontiment of Juc a8 love of libe ge Gresham: y and equality, miration of and unselfish patriotism last, the memory of Grant will be venerated.” 1 ever the Ameri- can people fuil to do this they will be no longer worthy to enjoy the beneficent institutions, and ad- heroie deeds blessings of fre THE DUTY OF CONVENTIONS.

PR — The Subsidized Railronds. Springfeld (Mass.) Republican. The report of the goverment commissioner on the subsidized railroads is particularly ur- gent for an easy adjustment and extension of thewr debts to the government. The roads should even bo left as freo as thelr riva ls says the commissivner, to occupy new terri tory, extend their systems and meet all com petion—in other words, to rush toany length on that ruirous course of overbuilding and paralleling which has wrocked so many prop- orties and brought the whole busi- ness i the west near to bank- ruptey. How long does the commis sioner suppose the government must wait forits pay with the subsidized roads given froe rein to “moet all competition!” How much uearer is the government to a settie ment now after some little experience with this policy of trying to ~‘meet all competi- tipn?” The Uuion Pacific was never ablo to pay than at present—now when it has not credit enough left to borrow monoy to meet floating debts save from its own directors and at a great sacrifice, With Gould in command, future prospects of ever rotting back the public loan .are much more dubious than present prospects, AND THE RAILROADS. loss POST Kearney Hub: The independent press is doing eonsiderable dust throwing. To cover up the all around deficiencies of Candidate ldgerton they keep up the chargze that Post is the railroad candidate, when he is in no sense a railroad or corvoration candidate. Nobraska City Press: Judge Post will make an honorable member of the supreme bench. He is a cloan, honest and upright man. The howl that he is a railroad man is the usual howi sot up against ail republican nominees, If elected he will not sell his in- fluence. Plattsmouth Herald: The newspapers that are misrepresenting and abusing Judge Post by charging him with being a “railroad tool,” know that it is false. The people are becom ing disgusted with this method of campaisen ing and if we mistaie not these wilful falsi- | fiors will be set down upon in 1o unmistak- able manner at tho November election. Norfolk News: Though the News sin- | corely desired the nomination of Judge Reese for the supreme bencn, it can say from per- sonal knowledge that Judge Post would be an bonor to the highest tribunal of the state, judged from any standpomnt, as o man, as a jurist, or us to his qualitications as a lawyer. His record as a judge during a lone period of years is oveu to inspection and criticism, and the News does not believe it wiil reveal any inclination to favor the railroads on his purt —certainly not iu cases that navo been taken before him from Madison county. Kearney Hub: The records of Judgo Post's court show that he has entered up more judgments against the railrdads than aoy district judge in Nebraska. An investiza- tion will also show that he has had nothing to do with the railroad corporations parsonal or political and that there are not more than two of tho leading railroad ofiicials in the. | state that he even knows by sight. The at- | tempt of the democratic and independent | prass to make it appear that he is a railroad canuidate and that the supreme court con- test is between the railroads, reprosented by Judge Post, and the people with Edgerton as their standard bearer, is infamously and wickodly fatse.

The mes- age, howaver, could aot be given to Mr. Fitz gerald, as his men udition is such that he woald, in niue cases out of ten, not under- stand it, and if he happened to be eujoying a brief iuterval of sanity the excitement thut would be produced would have u serious of- fect on his mind. The condition of Mr. Fitzgerald has boon slightly improved the past week. At times he is able to converse rationally, but at such times the greatest ingenuity has to be used 10 keep his mind off his business, as a re lapse is sure to foilow in such a case. 'ho best that the attendant physicians can say of his case is that in the courso of u few months or a vear he mav be able to attend to vusiness. But it is feared that he will never be able to enter into it with his former vigor. MRS, SIEEDY WANTS HER DOWER.
