ONE swallow does not make sum-
mer. and the detection Of Boss
Hesing from the Republican ranks
Ii by no means to I've construed into
Q wholesale stampede of the Ger
mans into the Bourbon camp. Such,
at least, is the impression In Illinois
where Hesing is best known. If
the Omaha Herald was not SO n
Enthusiastically devoted to the revival
of imperialism in France, it might
have been better able to study the
German character nearer home.
German Americans as a class are
among the most intelligent of Amer
lean citizens, and they are generally
in the habit of doing their own
thinking. They never permit any
politician to pull them by the nose,
and they know Hesing to be one of
the most INSCRIPTIONS Of political
schemers. The fact that he openly
boasts of his intention to send Wash
ington Heslng, his own son, to Con-
gress, in place of Congressman Far
well, makes it sufficiently clear that
the old boss has an ak to grind.

culturist, Hon. A. X. White. a

At the junction of the Delaware
and Schuylkill rivers the Interna-
tiopal Navigation Company have in
course of construction a mammoth
grain elevator, which it is expected
will be ready for the reception of
grain by September next. AS many
as 1900, 900 bricks are being used in
constructing the walls, which will
be surmounted by an iron roof. The
length of the wharf is 500 feet, and
breadth ESQ feet. The depth of the
water alongside being % feet at low
tide, will allow the largest vessels to
approach without difficulty. The
trunks of three thousand seven hun
dred trees were used iuconstructing
it. Piles fifty feet in length consti-
tute the foundation of the elevator.
Its capacity is eight hundred thou
sand bushels, and Will be capable of
unloading twenty-four cars, and
loading eight large vessels at the
same time. A warehouse will be
located on each side of the wharf,
where galleries will extend from the
buildings. Under these galleries are
four tracks, each of which a ac-
commodate six cars. The ware
houses are each two hundred feet
long by seventy-five wide, This
elevator, which has u greater
receiving and delivering capacity
than any other In the country, will
he operated by machinery located
at The top of the building, a feature
belonging to no other elevator. 1t
will be fitted up with steam shOvels
for handling grain, thus saving a
large amount of manual labor.
Thirty-six circular iron bins for re-
ceiving grain, each % feet In
diameter, and fifty feet high, are
now in course of erection. The cost
of the buildings will be 5000, 600,
and of the wharf, $4,000, making
tie total outlay, $3.50,

The Excursionists at Home.

EARLvILLE, ILL.,, July Z, 1871.
EDITOR BEE:
The grand excursion returned
July Sd, in good health and spirits,
Notwithstanding the heat and dust.
1t was interesting to hear the visit
ors compare notes as t hey gathered
from the various points for their re-
turn. never saw SO many people
in such good health and spirits, af-
Ter such a hard round Of visiting
and sightseeing. Nearly all were
loud in their praises of u young
State, and two OF three old men, in
whose hearts the fire of enterprise
and ambition had burned low, ven
tured the remark that Nebraska was
nowhere to be compared to Illinois.
1t was amusing to see the whitening
chances cast upon them by their
travelling companions, and the poor
fellows found themselves In q feeble
minority.
Nebraska was hot and dry when
I left it, but Illinois had nothing to
boast of; everything here is suffering
from exc essive heat and drouth, and
strange to say, as you go through
the grrss countless hosts Of grass
hoppers rise up before you; not the
insect eff the plains, but yet they are
q positive annoyance.
Earlville has usually been noted
for its fourth Of July celebrations,
but this year it was very quiet, with
one exception. Two little boys were
the heroes of the day, and they had
a grand time. They set fir to their
grand-father's dwelling with their
fire-crackers. 1t was a fine resi-
dence, and as it was very hot and
dry 1t was instantly enveloped in
flames and consumed with all the
furniture, Quite an expensive 4th
for grandma.
Another excursion leaves Plano,
Iliincis. for Nebraska, the l4th of
this month. Yours,
G. s. HARRISON.

Thu Nav Postmaster General.

President Grant might have made
a much worse appointment than
than that of Ex-Governor Jewell, of
Connecticut, to be Postmaster Cen
eral. Mr.. Jewell doubtless owes his
appointment to his relations with
the President, with whom he has
been OH terms of the most cordial
intimacy for many years, rather
than to any special qualifications
for the place. Still, he is a
man of good character, un-
doubted personal integrity, and
practical business talent, and will,
without doubt, prove an efficient
and energetic officer. His political
experience i'm any prominent capac-
ity dates from the year 1868, when
he was the Republican candidate
for Governor of Connecticut, and
was defeated by James E. English.
He was elected in 1869, defeated
again by Mr.. English in 1870,
and reelected in 1871 and 1872.
In 1S73he declined a denomination,
and a little later was appointed
Minister to Russia. He has been
discharging the duties of that posi-
ton at st. Petersburg not quite a
year, and the notice of his appoint
ment found him one the V of a
two months leave of absence.
Judging from his private letters,
some of which have been published
by indiscreet friends, the duties Of
diplomacy did not suit his active
disposition, and the recall from st.
Petersburg to more congenial place
and . more active life is no doubt
very gratifying to him. The readi-
ness of his acceptance indicates en-
tire willingness to make the ex-
change; indeed, he made nc secret
before going abroad ofhis preference
for some Cabinet position for which
his business habits and training fit
ted him, rather than a diplomatic
Office for which he distrusted his fit
pess,-N Y. Tribune.

THE last Legislature tinkered up
our charter to what they thought
was perfection itself. Instead of
leaving the property holders on each
street to bear the expense of grading
and improving such street, they put
in a proviso to compel the whole
city to pay half of the expense of
these Improvements.
By this operation the grading of
any street involves a draft on the
general fund, and thereby our whole
finance system isliable to embarass-
ment. Under the old charter a
majority of the property own
ers of any street could, by
petition, secure a grade, and
the whole expense for such work
was levied upon the properly ada
cent to the grade. This method was
not only p~roperand equitable, but it
also prevented combinations by
which all the taxpayers may be
compelled to contribute to the spec
cial benefit of any favored locality.

PUBLIC HrR0vEHENTs AND TBS
CITY FINANCES.

The position Of Councilman
Campbell, touching the application
Of the ordiEary municipal tax levy,
toward defraying the expenses in
CURED for permanent public i'm
provements, is eminently correct.
Under the provisions of our City
Charter, the City Council can only
levy a tax, which under
an economical administration,
will cover the current and
incidental expenses of our city
government. Neither the spirit,
mol the letter of that charter, would
warrant the conclusion that per-
manent Improvements, in the shape
Of iron bridges, stone culverts, and
costly grading, should be paid out
of the general fund.
1t Is self-evident that the draft
upon the City Treasury for such
improvements would soon drain and
exhaust it, and cause a repetition of
the financial embarrassment which
has been experienced during the
past six months. The demand for
public Improvements Of a perma-
nsnt and substantial character is
imperious and Councilman Camp
bell Yea , properly advocated the is
suance Of bonds to meet this de-
mand.
The most feasible, as well as the
most economical, plan for meeting
this demand would be to issue a
low-rate, longtime bond. Every
body will admit that il is much
easier for the taxpayers of Omaha
to pay the interest on such an
Indebtedness than 10 be COM
PEELED to pay the principal. AL
expenditure of $4,000, OF $4,000,
for substantial public improvements
during the present season would, we
apprehend, meet the approval of a
great majority of our citizens. In
faet, We have very little doubt that
the bond question, submitted with
the proper explanations. would carry
BY an overwhelming vote.
The interest OH $4,000 at 8 pcr
cent would only requif an addi-
tional tax os 5000 - annum, a

ton? This can only be done by a
liberal expenditure of money; and,
of course, will necessitate a greater

look the matter squarely in the
face, and act like business men, in
