CAPTAIN CROWDER announces that the Indian recruits in the army are rapidly adapting themselves to military habits.

Holt clerk of the district court to succeed her hus- band, who died immediately after his election, were gallant and honorable. They paid the memory of a dead soldier a substantial tribute and at the same time honored a compotent lady. MR. GANNON'S nddress to the friends of Ireland in America is a strong, tem- perate und effeetive appeal for organiza- tion and harmony in Irish-American vanks. It is in far botter taste than some of the political speeches of the president of the Irish Land loague, and every friend of Irish liberty will approve its tone and content: Mr. Gannon is more at home as a patriotic advoeate for his native land than as an oftice secker, though he has fine fighting qualities in the latter capacity. Tue appointment of Major J. W, Pad- dock as county commissioner to fill the vaeancy caused by the death of Commis- sioner Corrigan initsolf is satisfuctory. The major isan old and respected citi- zen with property interests. But Mujor Paddock is also a government director of the Union Pac Lway and must of course devote somo time to the duties of that position. The county commis- sioners are paid annual salavios and are oxpected todevote their entire time to county business. If the major pro- poses to continue to act as government director of the Union Pacific railway his nppointment will prove a mistake. He should resign one place or the other. He cannot serve two masters with credit to himself or advantage to the county. THE retivement of Secretary Proctor from the War department will be espoc- fally regrotted by the army, in which ho has been instrumental in introducing some oxcellent reforms. His servic ns secretary of war have been valuable, but in no r perhaps, have they been in strong contrast to those of democratic predeces- sor as in the maintenance of harmony and good feeling. Thore was almost continual clashing between the head of the War department and the geueral of the army during the Cleveland administration, nocessarily to the detriment of the irmy, but there has been nothing of this sort under the prosent administeation. Tho business of tho department has bean carried on with sigoal ability, and without the least friction 1n any quarter, and Secretary Proctor has shown himself a zealous friend of the army.

In assuming editorial charge of the Chicago Times Carter Harrison promul- gates the new policy of that paver in tho following terse, matter-of-fact salutatory: The Times will always advocate democratic principles because best for the people, but will never be a slave to party to uphold tho wrong. It will be no man’s organ, and will have no pet theories to promulgate. It has 10 enemies to punish, no hobbies to ride, and will have no axes to grind, but will be a newspaper 1n the broadest sense of the word, studiously avoiding sensational scandals, and both in its reading matter and advertise- ments will exclude everything which can shock the modest or violate the sauctity of the fireside. It will not invade the privacy of the home nor besmirch private character, either to gratify personal rasentment or for the purpose of selling its issues. It will favor public and private morality and con- demn every form of indecency, and will ever bo the strong advocate of personal as weil as of civil and religious liberty. If the Zimes lives up to these prom- sos it will agroeably surpriso a great many people who heretofore have been accustomed to handle that sheet with a pitchfork. The Times without sensa- tional scandals and Police (fuzette horrors will resemble Chicago without Hell's Half Acre, It must not be forgotten that with all its tendency to sensatignalism and moral cross-eyedness the 7imes under Wilber F. Storey was a great Carter Harrison starts out under very avorablo nuspices at o poriod when Chicago is approaching the zenith of her marvelous growth, but with all his tulents and unlimited capital he has as- sumed a task that will tax his energics to their fullest capacity. newspaper. w XTEND OUR TRADE. Omaha is just now ut a critical s in her history. Sho has reached a point in her comwmercial carcer when further growth und prosperity depend lurgely upon her own exertion. The city does not command the trade of the territory naturally tributary to it Omaha must reach out into north- ern Nebraska and South Dalk ‘We must push out into the northwest for the Montana and Wyoming cattlo trade and innugurate an interchange of the produets of our farms and factorics for the buliion, cash and cattle of those re- gions. Likewise must wo extend our hands to the vast southwestern stock ranges. Our beef packing establish- ments require at least 150,000 head of cattle more than the present tributary territory produces. It is perfoctly clfar that this industry cannot g until we huve opened new regions from which to deaw the raw product. Almost as important to this city as the outlets northwest and south- wost is one the northeast. The **Whaleback” grain vessel bids fair tomake Duluth as important a grain warket as Chicago, Duluth is perhaps 100 miles newver Omaha by divect line than Chicago.

SEAROARD DEFENSE, A dispateh from San Francisco a few days ngo stated that some excitement created in that city by the an- nouncement of extraordinary activity in the navy yards, The natural inforence was that the governmont was getting ready for expected hostilities, and in view of the almost defenseless condition n Francisco the impression caused anxioty In the event of u with Chili, of which there appenrs to be little danger, the metropolis of the Pacific coast would war now | probably receive the first attention from | the w r ships of that country, and they might destroy n great doal of property thero. New Orleans is another yalner- able point where a few Chilian ironclads could do a very considerable amount of damage, and the newspapers of that city are demanding that congress shall pro- vide for its adequate defense. The Atlantic seaboard cities would not be in very ureat danger of a visit from vessels of the southern country, but they arc so expgsed as to be practically at the mer of first class war ships, The subject of const dofonse has beon discussed for yoars, but without any practical results of consequence. The Samuel J. Tilden addressed a vory carnest letter to President Clevelund shortly after his inaugu- ration urging the necessity of bettor defenses for cities of the seaboard, but it received no serious attention from that administration. Oflicers of the army and the navy have pointed out the vul- nerability of the seaboard at vital points timates of the cost of adequate de- fensive works have been submitted from time to time to congress. Both the sec- retary of war and the sccretary of the referred to the last annual reports as o mat- that ealled for prompt at- tention on the part of the government. stary Proctor said: “No great eivil- ized nation today has more just cause 1 ours to look well to the condition of its coast defenses, and none, since the civil war, has so wholly noglected them.” Secretary Tracy graphically pictured the destruction and suffering that might be caused by an enemy’s fleet that should enter the harbor of New York, and strongly pointed out the duty of the government to give adequate protection to the exposed soa- ports. The last congress mado a com- paratively liberal appropriation for com- mencing and continuing the construc- tion of gua and mortar hatteries for the defense of Boston, New York, San Fran- c1sco and other harbors, but popular apprehension of the importance of this matter has not been sufficiently acute. The people outside of the seaconst cil and states have failed to appreciate the danger and to realize how much there isat stake, while counting too much upon the ability of the country to rapidly prepave to meetany emergenc, Besides, every movement to prope fortify our ports has met with demo- cratic obstruction, and until the last congress that party was able to 1 such obstruction effective for y: needed such a menaco as is involved in the Chilian dificulty to impress the pop- ulur mind generally with the fact that as one of the t nations of the world, Laving more or less intimate relations with all other countries, we can never be untirely free from the danger of a disturbance of such relations, and that we ought at least to be prepared to de- fend ourselves in case of an attack.

L BOUND OF CORK. sion ened the org THE I New York Advertiser: The defeat of Mr. Redmond, the new Parnellite leader, in Corls, wouid seem to settle forever the fate ot the Parnell party in Ireland. St. Louis Republic: The defeat of tho Parnellito candidate, which has just taken place in Parnell’s old’ district, ought to con- vinco that faction that it is opelessly in the minority 1n Ireland. Chicago Tribune: Tho defeat at Cork is the fifth tho Parneliites have suffered within ayear. ‘Thoey bave not won once. The Irish peoplo are determined to maintatn the alli- anco with the Gladstonian liborals. Chicago Herald : Dofeet so significant may mduce the few rational men among_them to seek reunion with the majority.

Minneapotis Times: Tho McCarthyites aro entitied hencoforth to call themselves uot a faction, but tho Irish national party. They are in dccord with the liberals, trusted by the people of Ireland aud represent the character and weaus of the organization which Paruell created. The Cork election is their cortificate of authority to represent Ire- Land in the strugele for home rule. Chicago Post: The defeated candidate shows greater Gorage than discretion in canking himself for comparison with oven the shadow of Paraell, The fate of all such pretenders is plain. They must learn the bitter lesson, if their conceit will let them, that a dead giant is greater than aliving mediocrity.

Dawson County Herald (dem): The poo plo's party, so-called, not only of Dawson county, but of the entivo state, has receive a rebuke in the last election which certainly speaks for itself. This paver is tho friond of the farmer and the laboring man. It also be- lieves that the rank aud file of tho inde pondent party were earnest and consciontious in their efforts for roform, but the groat troublo was instead of socking redress through the proper channels thoy placed themselves in tho hands of demagogues and political dead-beats who took advantago of their wrongs to aid in their own adyance- ment. Tho resuit was, the conservative cloment saw through the gauze and asserted their mantiood at_the poils with such em- poasis that it had its effcet in & manner nov to be misunderstood. Crawford Clipper: It has been demon- strated by the peopio of Nebraska that they hayve had enough of sham legislation through rampant_independents, in the election of Judge Post to the supreme beneh. The World-Herald scandal-monger could not by bis filthy and scandalous letters dissuado tho peoplo from an actof honor and pride in cast- ing thoir ballot against Edgerton, the de- pondent candidate. ‘The mass of people, re- gardless of party affiliations, caused the’ dis astrous result, and their pride and respect for the gooa name aud credit of the stato is what did it. Republicans alone could not haye etected Judge Post, but democrats and independents came to their assistance and helped wipe frem political existence the ob- noxious remnants of a chloritic party. Fromont Fiail: Tho Flail does not bolieve that the whole course of the republican party of tnis state has been vindicated, but rather that the people have decided to suffer the ills that ave rather than flee to others that they know not of. That there aro grievances that shouid be removed and injustices that should be remediod is vory certain, and tho great uprising of the people has spoken it in tones of thunder. The victory of tho republican party has not been avindication of that party and the sanguine politician who fancies it 15 very wide the mark. Tho defeat of th pendents is not_because the d 4 with tho dominant party ha movea but because tno seceders had faith in thewr leaders. When it proven that tho men on whom wd roliod to champion their cause, wnd lead them in the great conflict, wore false to them and had sold their influence to the railroads for their favors, thore was a re- action that shook tho indepéndent party to its center and withoat a doubt was the prime cause of their overthrow. This matter must bo viewed in its true light. The independent party of Nebraska is orly temporarily de- feated. With new leaders and new inspira- tion they will come forth again better pre- vaved for the conflict thau ever, anless the causes for their uprising shall havo been re- moved. Thero are momentous questions that must bo solved boforo the great party can agaiu gain the confidence of the people, The question of fair and equal taxation, of 1d cquitable railroad rates and of a tariff the necessities of life will not down until they aro settled in the interests of the people and 1t is useloss to expect it.
