A new liquor law goes into opera
tion in Nebraska on January l, 1882,
and urder it's provisions municipal
ties may impose very stringent reg
u~lations on the sale of intoxicating
drinks. In Omaha the Councils have
fixed the license fee at one thousand
dollars and the bond at five thousand
dollars. There are one hundred and
seventy retail liquor shops in the city
and the p]roprietors have been talk
ing of an organization to fight the
law, but the Mayor has recently is
sued a proclamation warning all
dealers that unless they procure
license under the ordinance they
must close their places permanently
on January l.. The Marshal and po-
lice have been ordered to arrest all
violators of the Jaw, and The inten-
tion is to enforce it strictly, believ-
ing that thorough test will either
make it popular or odious at once
and will enable the people to make
up their minds whether or not they
wish it continued. After~an ineffec-
tual effort to unite in not taking out
licenses the liquor men have broken
up, and sixty have applied and de-
posted the money, leaving over a
hundred to quit the business.

Commenting upon a proposition to
provide glass ballot boxes to insure
greater fairness in elections, the
True american says:
1t is worthy of note that every
proposition having in view the Sc
curing of fair and honest elections,
is based, like the above, upon the
idea that the election officers are ras-
Gals, and that it is, therefore, neces.
sary to adopt some method to pre-,
vent them from committing frauds
on the people. Much of the legisla.
ton of late years has been based on
this idea. The laws to prevent mem.
bers of municipal bodies, for in.
stance, having interest in any public
work, has for its theory that men tc
whom the people confde important
public trusts are so unworthy OF
trust that they cannot be permitted
to do any work for the public lest
they may take advantage of theil
position to cheat and plumber
These laws have proved in many ca
ses delusive, and the question is
whether glass ballot-boxes would
not in the hands of expert fraud
doors, prove equally so.

There was a time, says she Wash

brains and character waited to be in
vited to accept a cabinet portfolio.
Then it would have been considered
as indicate and disreputable to ask
for such a place, or organize an in
fuence to obtain it, as it would have
been to solicit an invitation to a pri-
vate dining or an evening reception.
This is all changed now, and men do
not, blush to beseech their friends to
press their claims for a place in the
cabinet of a president whom they
scarcely know.

The debts incurred in carrying
out the celebration at Yorktown are
greatly in xcess of the appropria-
ton made therefor. While in many
respects the celebration was a sue
cess, and foreign visitors were hos.
pitably entertained, it seems that
some one has exceeded the authority
in contracting debts above the
amount provided for the expenses Of
the celebration. There is likely to
be some difficulty in meeting these
contracts, and Congress may get in
to quite a wrangle before it is har.

|. Senator PENDLEToN has introduced
abill providing for Civil Service re-

the ground that "the business of fif-

of officers 'who may exercise politi-
cal power, who may dictate policies,
whose efficient co operation may be
essential in carrying into effect the
theories or policies of parties" In
the words of Senator PENDLEToN:
The single, simple, fundamental,
pivotal idea of the whole bill is, that
whenever hereafter a new appoint
ment or a promotion shall be made
in the subordinate civil service, such
appointment or promotion shall be
given to the II an who is best fitted
to discharge the duties of the posi-
ton, and that such fitness shall be
ascertained by open, fair, honest, i'm
partial, competitive examination
The impartiality of these examina
tions is to be secured by every safe
guard which the wit of man can de-
wise. They are to be open to all
who choose to present themselves
They will be tests of the fitness of
the applieant.for the particular place
to which he asp;res. A copying

The news about the Jeanette and
her misfortunes in the Arctic is of
great interest. This vessel, fitted
out by Mr.. JAMES GORDON BENNETT
for Polar exploration; left our coast
in the summer of 1879, with provis-
ions for a three years cruise, and
her commander, Lieut., DE LONG, dis
tinctly stated that he expected to be
gone until that time. When the eX-
citement was aroused in Congress
last winter which resulted in the
cruisers of the Alliance, the Rodgers
and the Corwin as reliet expeditions,
the Jeanette was still a year and 6
half from being due. The disaster
of which we now have news is or
many accounts to be regretted.

the following timely suggestions
There is no palmer fact than the
people of this country have lost pref
ty much all respect for both their
State and National Governments as
at present administered. They even
make sport of them-speak con-
temptuously of them-and seem to
regard them as frauds and bur
lesques. And this is the fault, al
most entirely, of the people them
selves. They have closed their ears
against right and reason for the last
twenty years and gone blindly fol
party. The result is before them in
a d~emoralized, degraded, and alarm.
ing condition of public affairs. We
suggest that an early day be sci
apart for the reading of Washing
toms Farewell Address in all oul

Arthur endorses the Secretary's re-

Cleveland Plain Dealer: TIMo-
THY O. HOWE, the new Postmaster
General, is a most malignant Stall
wart. He was a violent third term
er. and is an advocate of Grant for
President in 1884. He made a speech
in the Senate, bitterly denouncing
Hayes, and calling him a fraud. He
has not the least fitness for the posi-
ton to which he has been appointed,
and owes his appointment solely to
the fact that he is a Stalwart and a
Grant boomer. 1t is expected that
the immense patronage that the
Postmaster General has at his dis
posal will be distributed SC as to
build up and strengthen the Grant
party for 1884, when either Grant
will be forced upon the Republican
party or some one ofthe same faction
whom he may name as his political
heir. The meek and lowly Hall
Breeds will, of course, take this last
dose with the same sickly show Of
cheerfulness that they have taken
the rest, and continue their snufhing
about Arthur's desire to "conciliate'
them, but they know in their miser
able souls that Arthur's idea Of con
ciliating an opposing faction-is tc
crush it. The appointment of Howe
means that the Half Breed Postmas
tiers must go.

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune says there is a
decided feeling among the advocates
of the continuance of the coinage of
silver dollars against those portions
of the Presidents annual Message
and the report of the Secretary of
the Treasury which recommend the
repeal or modification of the law di-
recting the coinage Of at least two
millions of silver dollars each month,
and of :he issue of silver certificates,
and the feeling will be made mani
fest early in the session after the
Christmas holidays. Several of the
more able oil the silver advocates are
outspoken in opposition to the re-
concentrations Of the President and
Secretary, and are preparing to give
utterance to their views on this sub
ject. Most of the Western and all
of the Senators and Representatives
from the Pacific States will undoubt-
eddy oppose any measure that pro
poses to interfere with the silver act
of February, 1878. In fact there are
indications that these gentlemen will
not be contented with eve q mega.
tive policy in this particular, but
will make an effort to so amend the
present coinage laws as to provide
for a still greater issue of silver dol
liars and certificates based on them.
1t is considered doubtful, however.
whether a two-thirds favorable vote
could be mustered against a not IN.
likely veto. .
