CouNCIL BLUFFS is inaugurating a movement against taxeaters, which will probably wield a powerful influence at the munic’pal election in April. AN ADV. ‘1 of 2 nts per ton on all grades of conl has been ordered by the eastern coal bavons. This 1s flying in the face of providence and fair ~eather. GARZzA has broken loose again. Our next warlike rumors wiil probably come from Mexico, if it be true that the bor- dor desperado has escaped the vigilance of the American authoritic THE new blood which the last county election injected into the Board of County Commissioners is forcing a good deal of impurity to the surfuce. E—— THE Sixth ward politicians are dis- cussing the advisability of dividing the ward., The taxpayers have not yet ex- pressed themselves. When they take up the question and urge its tmportance there will be some reason for giving it consideration. — Dr.KEoGI must adhere to the eclectic achool of medicine, judging from the variety and style of his prescriptions for sick paupers. Whisky by the quart, fine tooth combs, hair brushes and other ex- coptional medicines figuré in the bills of the county druggist. A DEADLOCK in the presidential elac- tion is reported from Guatemala. If Burrios is declared elocted he will make war upon San Salvador. If Lainnesta is the successful candidate, Barrios will probably declare war upon him. The deadlock therefore in all probability means bloodshed, however it may be determined as to candidates. —— PRESIDENT HARRISON'S enemies both in his own and opposing parties are seeking now to make political capital against him and the republican party by charging that his Chillan message was mere buncombe. These people seom to forget that the president ad- vised congress in his annual message in December that the Chilian controversy would bo treated in a specinl message. — MosT persons who have read the pro- ceedings in the trial of Dr. Grives of Denver for the murder of Mrs. Barnaby will be glad to know that a supersedeas hus been granted by the state supreme court and the trial will be reviewed. The circumstances seem to point to the guilt of the accused, but there are never- theless grave doubts of his guilt ana the case 18 unique cnough in character to make fair-minded people agree that he should havo all the chance possible to establish his innocence. PrESIDENT EaAN of the St Paul, Chicago & Kansus City railroad on.his return to Chicago complains that the graio shipments from the Missouri river enstward are not what they should be, A difference in ratos of 4 cents per 100 pounds in favor of New Orleans ns against tho Atlantic seaboard is responsi- ble for this, in Mr, Egan’s judgment, bo- cause, as he significantly remarks, the shippers get the benglit of the differ- snce. Mr. Egan and other eastern trunk line railway managers must sooner or later discover that the gulf of Mexico will take the place of the Atlantic for foreign shipments from the interior, un- less the railway companies running from this region to the Atlantic are able to wake us rates as low or lower than the southern line: IN A commercial way this country would uot lose much by an interruption of its trade with Chili. The total busi- ness with that country last year, ex- ports and imports, amounted to only a little more than $6,000,000. Chili is a competitor of the United States in Curopean markets, producing wheat, cattle and copper, which she exports to & censiderable amount. The product of Chill that supplies nearly all of her trade with this country is nitrate of soda, and she buys of us some manufac- tured products, chiefly iron and steel, wood, cotton and petroleum. Inasmuch a8 Chuili finds the market for her sur- plus products in Europe, and will con- tinue to do so, she will buy there most of what she needs, so that in the nature of things we cannot expect to materially enlarge our commere with that country, while existing conditions remuin. If ever the proposed intercontinental rail- road shall bo built the trade between the Lwo countries will be increased, but that s & possibility too remote to be seriously considered, HALE ON RECIPROCITY. The speech of Senator Hale of Maine on reciprocity was timeiy. The senator introduced a resolution calling upon the secretary of state for copies of the com- mercial agreements enteved Into be- tween the United States and other countries and for information ns to their practical effect. Tt Is desirable that the country shall be given this infoe- mation, but there was democratic oppo- sition to the resolution. What it calls for would not be to the advantage of the democratic party, which has pers tently antagonized recipiocity and en- deavored to depreciate that poliey. The information callad for by the resolution of Mr. Hale. as to the ovractical effects of the agreements made with Brazil, Spain, and other countries, would show that reciprocity has added materially to our trade with those countries, and that there is every assurance in what has been accomplished of a still further increase. The statistics that have been published since the agreements went into effect show that reasonable expec- tation regarding results has been met, and that thus far the wisdom of the policy has received most satisfactory vindieation. Senator Hale fairly described reci- procity when he said that iv is an aid to protection and broadened the field of the American laborer by opening new markets for his products tv be vaid for in articles which would never compete with his 1abor. ‘I'he democratic as- sumption thatit is an abandonment of the policy of protection and an accept- ance of the tenets of free trade is mani- festly preposterous, [t is fair trade, not free trade, No American industry or enterprise is injured by reciprocit The home market is guarded by protec- tion, while reciprocity reaches out to the foreign markets, The one estab- lishes, builds up and maintains Ameri- can industries; the other opens new and enlarges existing outlets for the pro- ducts of our farms and factories. As has been well said, “‘protection 1s de- fense, reciprocity is conquest,” The speech of Senator Hale was timely, because this subject will havea conspicuous place in the attention of the people during the national campaign of this year. They will be called upon to pass judgment on this achievment of a repullican administration, and to say whether or not they approve a poli which has secured to this coun- try valuable advantages, not only in ita own quarter of the world, but also in Europe, Without this policy we probably should not have been enabled to secure from Gaer- many and I'rance the revocation of the regulations which excluded American pork products from those countries, or any of the other concessions that will be of immense benefit to the agricultural interests of the United States. It is this policy that led Germany to place Ameri- can grain on an equalit in her tariff with the grain of her commercial allies. More has been accompliehed in the last year for widening the field of American commerce than was done in any pre- ceding ten years of our histor: vecdict of the people next will determine whether the poli has achieved this Is to be maintained or abandoned. It is therefore none too soon to begin the discussion of this very important subject. THE DEMOCRATIC L The leadership of the democratic party has evidently fallen 1into the hands of the most unserupulous machine politicians in the country. These men are Arthur P. Gorman of Maryland, David Bennett Hill of New York and Calvin 8. Brice of Ohio, all members of the United States senate. There is no trickery or scheming in connection with politics, however unscrupulous, that these democratic leaders would hesitate to employ in order to achieve success, Gorman has been for years the leader of his party in Maryland, and he at- tained and has held that position by virtue of practices that have made Lis name synonymous with everything that is debasing in politics. He is espec- ially strong with the rabble, and com- mands the services of a class of hench- men who huveno respect for law or morals when something is to be done in the interest of Gorman. He is a spoils- man with a most inordinate appetite and is notorious for taking wood care of his political creatures. He was suc- cessful in foisting a number of theso, some of them of disreputable character, upon the Clevelund administration, the dismissal of the worst of whom, when their uhworthiness was exposed, caused a rupture of friendly relations between Gorman and the administration. The better class of democrats in Maryland have repeatedly tried to overthrow Gorman’s leadership, but his grip on the machine has been too strong to be broken, The affiliation of Hill and the Mary- lund senator is entirely natural, because their political methods are essentially the same. Hill has ot been so long in politics as Gorman, but he is equally a master of all the “‘tricks of the trade,” and he is no less bold and unscrupulous in practicing them. His whole carveer since he entered politics has been char- acterized by systematic scheming of a kind repugnant to high-minded wmen, und by pandering to the worst elements of hus party. He has maintained a close alliance with Tammany, has courted the liguor interest, and in every way has shown himself to be a politician who be- lieves that the end justifies the meuns, Brice is a politician of the same class, though perhaps less bold and reckless than the others, It has been alleged that he used money most lavishly to se- cure his election to the senate, and there is no reason to suppose thut he would have declined to buy votes' when they were needed. Brice is several times a millionaire, having made his money principally in railroad enter- prises, and he is the financial power of the triumvirate, 1n the event of either Hill or Gorman being the candidate for president, Brice would doubtless con- tribute liberally to the campaign fov the promise of a cabinet position. Such are the men who are now the leaders of the democratic party, and who, it is very generatly conceded, will dictate to the national convention the candidate and the principles upon which 1DERS. the party will make its fight for the presidency. Meon like Carlisle and Pa tison and Palmer are sent to the rear and the party is taken charge of by mere politicians and spollsmon, whose only ambition is to attain power and who have no soruples as to the means by which it may be veached. The Ameri- can people are not so indifferent to the interests and wolfare of the government as 10 permit it to pass into such eontrol. NEBRASKA AT THE FRONT. The twenty-four delegates from Ne- braska to the national allinnce meeting in Chicago were hended by the vener- able but pugnacious Allan Root, known to local fame s the sage ol the Pappio. Allan Root’s spirit seems to have por- vaded the delegation to Chicago, for from the moment of its arrival until the time of its departure Nobraska has been the bone of contention and the disturb- ing element. To begin with, Nobraska demanded seats for twenty-four dele- gates, who were all on hand to vocifer- ate the demand, when she was entitled 0 but seventeen. After w long wranglo, in which Towa lost her temper and her influence at the same timo, the Nebraska people were victorious. Allan Root was made chairman of the committee on reso- lutions, and any man in Omaha would willingly have paid Patti prices for n reserved seat out of sightin the com- mittee room. ‘It goes without saying, however, that the cyclonic eloquence of our Allan won the day. . Next cameo a tussle over theeiection of president and Nebraska, with seven more delegates than the constitution provided for, made her votes count for John H. Powers, who desirea the dis- tinction of u third term. Mr. Powers Is a stayer wherever he is put, which par- tially accounts for his present advanced uge. His staying qualities had been manifest in a three-hours speech the duy before the election, however, and so weary weve the delegates that they raised the third-term cry aund Mr. Pow- ers fell outside the breastworks covered with glory but naked as to the oflice. The Nebraskans rallied, however, when it came to the handling of the nu- tional alliance funds and elected Adolph D'Allemand as secretary and trensurer. Mr. D’Allemand never pefors succe oled in being elected to an office, although he has frequently been a candidate. This was an especially gratifying feat, for it put Towa to sleep and at the same time puid her off for fighting the admis- sion of the Nebraska delegation and beating poor old Powers. [owa rallied, however, on the uext ballot and Mrs. Julia Pratt of Nebraska was defeated for assistant lecturer by a crushing ma- jority. Still the Nebraska wire-pullers worked manfully and placed the ludy at the head of the committee on education, where distinction goes without salary. The Nebraska double dozen stood up nobly under the leadership of the most rclentless fighter and tireless talker in the ranks of the people’s independent party of Nebraska. ——— BUILD A NEW VIADUCT. A wooden viaduct fo« a thoroughfare like Sixteenth . streot is a constant menace to the people dependent upon it for transportation acvoss the vailways. Even if it were not unsafe itis in dan- ger of five. 3 The construction of the present via- duct was a mere makeshift. The. city did not have the money to build more than one iron vinduet at thetime the Sixteenth and Eleventh street viaducts wera projected and it was thought more important to secure a safe crossing near the depot than at Sixteenth street. The churter was also defective at that time as regards the proportion of expenso which the railroads should pay toward the viaduet and approaches. Under the present charter the city has the right to order the construction of a substan- tial stone-pior ana iron viaduct across the railrond tracks at any point and the railroads are obliged to pay the cost of the sameand will also huve to pay for 800 feet of the approachoes. All the city is‘obligated to do is to pay the damages to adjacent property. There would be no damages for a reconstructed vinduet. Hence the city is in position to. replace the wooden vinduet on Sixteenth street with a substantial iron svructure with- out taxing itself one dollar. Pending the reconstruction of the Six- teenth street viaduct, the straet car compuny should be directed to change its schedule for motor cars so as to avoid the passage of two trains over the via- duct at the same time. The practice of running two or more trains at the sume time is hazardous in the present condi- tion of the wooden bridge. No repairs can make it safe for any considerable length of time. Theocity and the rail- ways may just as well come to un under- standing first as last. The Sixteenth street vinduct must be replaced with one of iron, steel and stone, Sixteenth street is now and ulws will be the principal north and south thoroughfare, and the Cheap John, ram- shackle structure that now affords the only means of crossing from Leaven- worth to Pierce street should be re- placed without delay, . e UNDER the law the city council has no discretion in the matter of the school tax. It is required to levy and collect the amount estimated for by the Board of Education, provided it is within the legal and charter limit of taxes. The couneil has the right, however, to insist that the estimate shali be in such form us shall exhibit in detail the proposed expenditure ot funds realized from the levy. A mere statement that the board will require $40,000 or any other lump sum for support, etc., is not an intelligi- ble estimate. E—— Pror. CROAN, late of the Western Normal school of Shenandouh, Iowa, has not yet taken his educational insti- tution off the trucks. He would doubt- less ta glad to have Omaha compete with the other cities with which he has been negotiating for several months. The principal difficulty about the matter is to dewrmine whether the bonus demanded is to secure buildings and students or merely the professor. —_— A COUNTRY editor has made uncom- plimentary reference to THe BEE'S at- tempt last summer to oxtend aid to one Berger, a Russian who lived in Omaha three years, returned to Russia and was DAILY | thore imprigoned and subsequently exiled to Siheria. The case was not dropped by Trr REe until Mr. Whar- ton, assistd)t Beoretary of stato, decided that the Unitad States government was powerless te™interfere in Borger's be- hall. No pa except Berger and his relatives cowkd have been more disap- pointed thaw \as Tt BEe at this ruling, which undey: the circumstances and the law was soubd. Senator Paddock, Con gressman Befan and ex-Congressman Dorsey brought the case before the State department, whd would have done any- thing in thdfe’power to compel the Rus- sian government to release Borger. They seemed unxious to assist THE BEE in the undertaking. All this was fully stated at the time and avpreciated by overybody but the nincompoop who has evidently beon asleep since the case was disposed of by Tinr BEE. —_— Tue city council ought to set an ex- ample of vetrenchment in expenses for the Board of Kducation. It cannot satisly the people by sacrificing its wifo’s relations in the interest of economy. cratie Boston Journal, As with silver, so with tte tarift, the dem- ocratic party is afraid of its volic; nthe n in G Chicago Tribune, “Talk not o us of peaco!

Report of Hon, Louls Helmrod for the Last Year, Hon, Louis Hetinroa, state oil inspector, has propared his annual report and for- warded the same to his excellency, Governor Thayer, Mr. Helmrod says: Owmany, Jan. 20.—To His Excellency, the Governor of Nebraska: I herowith submit the following report as state inspeotor of oils and enclose a copy of the statemont fur- nistied the auditor of state, all as requirved by law. 1 qualified as state oil inspoctor and took charge of the ofice April %, 1591, retaining, tomporarily, the depaties of S.

C. Carnes attempting to in terfere with unc 1aterforing with me in the verformance of my duties, I petitioned the court of Douglas uountéi; through my attor neys, 5, D. Smith aad T. J.

Carnes from in any way interfering with me in the performance of my duies and for a tempor- v injunction pending a permanent one nding toe declsion on temporary injunc- tion my deputies and myself duly inspected oils as provided by law. June 1, H. Hareison and J, E. Carnes, deputies under 8. Caidwell and retained by me, huving failed and refused to make the monthly reports as provided by law, [ noti- fied the various oil compunies doing business in tho state to permit no inspection by H. Havrison, J. I3, Carnes or other parties unless duly authorized by me, and from that time ou endeavored to perform the duties of my oftice with the assistance of my three depu- ties, John 8. Kittle, W. H. Eller and F. 5. White. Juue 28, the court of Douglas county hay- ing refused wy petition for temporary in- juncuon, 1 scught the opinion of T. J.

June 0, i informed the various oil compa- uies of ¢ho situation, and asked that, pending the decision on wy petition for a permanont injunction, they contiuue to recognize me as state inspector of oils and pormit inspections by no oue not duly authorized by me, a!l of which they took under advisement. I con- tinued to inspect oils up to and including July 8, at which time the various oil compa- nies informed me that they would not permit me toinspect oits from that time on, or pay for the inspections made and unpald 1or. During the ime I was permitted to inspect s there was no complaint made by the con. sumers, regarding quaiity or inferiority of oils, and no explosions of iamps, excepting one' in Omaha, which, upon due investigas tion, was found to have been caused by cavolessness. Recently I have received \umerous complaints from all parts of the state regarding wferiority of oils and ex- plosiors of lamps, all indicating a sorious condition of affairs, which should be care- fully looked into. Tor Owaua Bee n late issues has mode statements, based upon caveful investivation, which if relianle, and they ‘baar every indication of being so, account for the many complaints I have od und the number of lawmp explosions reported.

Baking | Powder OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. ‘The 108s of the seat left vacant by the ele vation of Lord Hartingion to the House of Peers is the severest blow yet received by the liberal unionist party. Tn 1880 the leader of the iberal revolt against Mr. Gladstone carriod (he Rossendale division by a majority of 1,450, and he sparad no pains to retain the district for the nominea of his frionds, hav- ing written an earnest lotter to his constit uents, although by such an exertion of influ once he violated the procodents established in the case of vacaucies arlsing from the in horitance of a poerage by A member of the House of Commons, His interference was fruitiess, for the Gladstone candidate not only wiped out the large adverse majority of six years ago, but beat his opponent by 1,23 votes. No more peremptory notive to quit could be served by the electors on the dissi- dent liberal members of the prosent House of Commons. If they oould not hold thewr own in a district where they had been over- Wwhelmingly preponderant and where thoy were backed by all the political strength of the now duke of Davonshire, it is hard to seo how they can expaot to keop any of the seventy-threo seats which they ocarried in 1856, with the exception of a fow in Birming- ham and its immediate neighborhood. 1f Mr. Gladstone lives to figure in the next House of Commons he will almost certainly find reserved for him a triumph which will sharply distinguish his career from thatof Sir Robert Peel, although 1o other respects the public lives of these two distinguished statosmen have boen strikingly analogous. Each began hife as a tory and lived to becomo aliboral. Kach at a orisis of his fortunes struck out u line for himself without pre- viously consulting the subordinate leuders of his party, end took ground, as tho event proved, de#dedly in advance of the mass of his followers, Each was thrown out of oftice through the formation of a cave in tho ranks of his o'n partisans, But Sir Robort Poel disd prematurely at a time when it seemod improbablo that he would ever rogain his former ascendancy In. the House of Com- mons, Mr. Gladstono, on the contrary, bas disappoluted the sccret hopes of his oppon- ents by living through six years of exclusion from nower, and seewns now upon the point of resuming the postof first minister with an irrosistible majority at his back. *, oy While England cheoks Russian designs in the Mediterranean and Europe, her desire is great and hor absoluto need greater to have the defenseless peninsula of Corea on ner eastern border, The. very existence of her power, her influence and her commerce in tho Pacific requires an open commercial and naval seaport on this coast. Corea offers tho only opportunity of obtaining one, and have 1t she will. It is only a quostion of time be- fore this aim is achieved—and with the seizure of one port will follow the annexa- tion of the kingdom and Iits disappearance from among the governments of Asia. Gireat Britain has watobed with joulous eyes every move made by Russia, and has tried overy moans to thwart and to lessen her growing influence. She has even gone to the extent of entering 1nto an aliance with China to check all further advanco of their common enemy. With the opening of Rus- sian commerce and the placing of Russian vessels in the trade of the acifio, England seesa severe blow struck at her trade with this part of tho globe—a business in which she controls more than three-fourths. She recognizes that with no open port Russia is ata great disadvantage, and at all hazar must be koot in this position. While in case of war Russian men-of-war would be com- pelled to limit their operations to the spring aod summer months and retreat to Vladivostock before being frozen out, Eugland could have her naval stations at Hong Kong, Singapcrs, and all of the pos- sessions in India and Australia as a basis of supplies in which to refit any damages inci- dent toactive sorvice—a most inestimable advantage aud one she must retain at all hazards. To do this, she must see that Itus- sia stands aloof from Corea, and in order to effect this object she is enlisting China and Japan in the crusade azainst all further Rus- sian encroachment. With her immense fleet in these waters, little can be done without her knowledge,but the question then arises if Russia peraists in her intention to seizo Corea, will she use this fleet and attempt to prevent lt—thus pracipitating an invasion of her Inaian empiro by Russian troopsi The creation of a dictutorship by the Bra- zilian congress by conferring plonary power upon President Peixotto his great signifi- cance. Tusignitios that the republio s only existent In theory, not in fact, ana that the wenaency of the Latin races is now, as 1t has ovor been, toward arbiteary power wielded by a single man, The Latins are unlike the Teuton and the Norseman in their progress, The races differ in almost every essential that relates to civil establishmeunt.

Corner 15th and Douglas 8 ;1rer 33, 347, 40 and 42, lutism seem to posse: fascination for the Latins not elsewhoro found wmong the Oau- easian family. 1t is not likely that conferring dictatorial powers upon Peixotto means that Brazil contempiates the re-establishment of & hereditary monarchy, But a diotator is a yot more absolute monarch than Kwmperor Wil- liam of Germany, after all, and things may/” better bo called by their right names. Peix- Otto Is a much more absolute monarch than Dom Pedro ever was, of course without the power to hand down his sovereignty. That, however, makes littlo difference. The heredi tary dictator may probably use his extra- ordinary power more judiciously than an elective dictator. If it be said that the power that made Piexotto absolute can unmake him, as much can be said 1n behaifof a hered itary monarch, who is recogouized and main- talned by the poople, and hence In some sort a popular creation. The people can unmako kings. Thoy aro supposed to have unmade Dom Pedro. though it is rather to be as sumed that tho peaple had little in the matter. Cortainly the people, as we know them hore, had no say in the discrawning of Dom Pedro. 0 W An agitation has bogun in Bavaria against nes Bismarok's act for socuring pansions to aged and infirm workingmen. There are complaints that it does not work well, The mothod of subscription to the insurance fund consists in the afixing of stamps by masters and men to a card, The master is bound to see that everv person in his employs ment buys a stamp every week representing A porcontagoe of his wages, and the mastor on his side puts on the card a stamp of liko value. But this leads toa zood deal of fric tion with the authoritles, Cards get lost, or the holders fall into arrears, or thoy chango their abodes, and aro put to great troublo in gotting their new addresses registered Another objaction in the eyes of workmen is that, when a man applies for omployment, the master can tell by a glance at his card whether he has beon in regular work. Thus a man who has been on a strike is found out atonos. Moreovor, young workmen gram- blo at huving to pay every weok for advan- tages which they will not enjoy till they are 70 years old. Altogether the act has never boon popular, and a petition is in circulation for its amendment. The liberals, tho social aemocrats aud the Catholies are united in tha movement. o The correct returns of the French census have just boen pubiiehed. They o not differ materially from those which were given last summer., The total population of France is 343,109, an Increase of only 124,280 over 1886,and of this increase Paris and its suburbs furnish 116,000, the 1ncrease in thirty-two of the departments beiig balanced oy tho de orease in the other fifty-five. The provincial towns of 30,000 inhabitants and upwards Lave increased by 124,000, the villages and small towns decreasing by about the same figure. The number of foreigners is returned as 1,101, 708, & decreaso of 13,416, but the explanation of this is that foreigners were moro carofully reckoned in 1886, when they bad to be de- ducted from the figures on which the number of deputies assigned to oach department was calculated, than in 1891, on the deduction was no longer necessary. Thero iy reason to suppose that the foreign element has failen off, even allowing for a slight increase in naturalization under the facilities offered by the legislation of 1880. NIHILIST PADLEWSKI SUICIDES, ‘The Murderer of General Sellverskoft Ends His Lifo in Toxus, New York, Jan, 20.—In the potter's field at San Antonlo, Tex., lies buried Otto Hausor, a suicide, according to tho fladwg of the local magistrates; but the rocords of tho inquest are missing from the county olerk’s office, and 1t Is belicved they have been stolen. Itis odd thatthe rocords of & pauper's suicidashould be stoten, and such a theft seems doubly straoge when the fact is made known that a morning paper has discoverad that Otto Hauser, the pauper, was none other thau the nibilist assassin for whom these fourteen months the agents of the Rus- sinn police havo boen searching the faco of earth—rone other than Stanislavs Padlewski, who on November 14, 1800, mur- dered in the Hotel de Bade at Paris, Geueral Michael Seliverskoff, chief of the Russian secret police of that city, The story of this act of nihilist vengoeance, of the plots that preceded and provoked it, of the escape of the assassin from Paris by the help of two newspaper men, his concealment by social-™\ ists in New York City, and his suicide, as it "\ & is called in Texas, a victim of poverty and of terror that may or may not hava boen ter- rors of the immagination only, Is a story such as is rarely told by the newspapci types, and if the Russian police have their agonts here it may interest them as,much as it will interest the rest the world.
