Other Lands Than Ours,

The French ministerial crisis has been
ended by the acceptance of the Office by
M. Goblet. who rs M. DE Freycinet's sue
ccssor will form a cabinet which he hopes
will be able to withstand the attacks of
Clemenceau and his radicals of the ex.
treme left. M. Clemenceau is the legiti-
mate successor of Gambetta and his
policy of revenge. The leader of the
radical wing of the republicans has been
bitter and uncompromising opponent
of the opportunism of Ferry and DE
Freycinet. He has chafed to see
France devoting herself to the
peaceful acquisition of colooial de-
Tendencies while neglecting means by
which in the future she might wipe out
the disgrace of 1871. NJ. Goblet is
under the influence of the progresssts.
His cabinet will doubtless voice to a
greater extent their ideas than did that of
its predecessor. In all of which there is
room for disquiet among lovers of CONT
mental peace and food for sober reflection
across the Rhine.
**x
When DE Freycinet took Office the
number of radicals in his cabinet caused
some uneasiness; but it seems the cham
Der is already calling for more. This
will not mean q new wave
of mild socialism, but rather
foreign aggressions, and more domestic
legislation. Possibly the church will
suffer, and there will be some eccentrici-
ties ia internal affairs; but the general
drift will be for the better. There are
nominally $50 republicans in house of
$50, but the radical tactic led by Glenn
enceau are fully $50 strong, and can die
tate the terms of many measures, or send
the cabinet 10 the president with their
designations. Thus 1t is that the French
chamber is divided into three parties,
substantially as is the case in the English
parliament, and thus the position of pre-
Inier is by no means enviable. The radi-
cal elements IN both bodies are the grow
ing and determining ones, and so far rs
appears these radicals are framing their
demands along lines that are perfectly
understood in republic like ours.
~
That Germany was quick to understand
in advance the possible menace of a
change OF ministry is seen in the prompt
measures taken upon the opening of the
Reichstag for an increase of the army
estimates and IA future mobilization of
the electives. The words of Won Moltke
have produced decided impression and
the opposition to the government de-
mand seems to have melted away under
the necessity which the iron prince pro-
nounced as SO pressing. Germany must
be prepared to fight for the Rhineland
provinces at moments notice This
was the meaning of the declaration Of
the commander of the army and of the
minister of war, aud it was not misunder-
stood,

The decision rendered on last Tuesday
by Judge Gresham, of the United States
circuit court at Chicago in the Wabash
receivership case, was regarded with eX-
traordinary interest in Wall street. 1t
has been received very generally with
earnest approval. People who have con-
Germ in such matters, as investors in the
securities OF railway corporations de-
pendent for fair. returns upon the in
tegrity and fidelity to their trusts of the
officers of such corporations, must regard
it as gratifying evidence that the courts
of the country are not wholly abandoned
to the influence and use of these officials
and the money power behind them.
There would undoubtedly be much less
attention attracted to this decision if it
were not for the fact that if is an unusual,
and perhaps an unexpected, declaration
OF judicial independence. Its clean,
straightforward and unsparmg arragn-
ment of the rapacious clique, whose un-
lawful methods for enriching themselves
by robbing the bondholders were clearly
shown by the evidence, is so uncommon
that it could not fail to make striking
impression. Its incisive thrusts seem to
have penetrated even the tough cuticle of
Jay Gould, wringing from that sOrdid
and soulless conspirator against tho pub
lie interests and welfare contemplate
inucndo against Judge Gresham charac-
teristic of the boldest and most unscrupu.

ment since Jay Gould and his satellites
obtained the control of that corporation
has been that of deliberate and most
successful plunder. The methods have
been Gould's, and the men who carried
them into effect were his puppets. The
security holders have been persistently
robbed, and all their rights, which they
| had reason to suppose were amply Sc
| cured by the action and direction of the
court in St, LOUIS, have been uniformly
/ ignored. So far rs that court is con

| entirely free from the influence of the

Solon Humphreys, known to be most
! plant tool of the combination, as one OF
! tho receivers of the corporation. Tut,
the other receiver, claims that he does
not own dollars interest in the com
pany but it is understood that he has
had to do with other of the enterprises
and schemes of Gould and enjoys his full
confidence, There is not a shadow OF
doubt that both of these men We're the
unquestionIng creatures of the master
trckster, though the task of carrying out
his methods was deYolved chiefly upon
! Humphreys.

which Judge Gresham based his decision

Death, men say, is like sea
That enguifs mortality,
1reach'rOus, dreadful, blindinglV
Full OF storm and terror.
Death is like the deep, warm sand,
Pleasant when we come to land,
Covering up with tender hand
The waves dritted error.

Winds of passion strike and urge,
And transmute to broken surge
FOap-crests of ambition.

lT may make newspaper article more
readable in the eye of the reporter to fill
it with broad brogue and rlbald profan-
ity which the subject attacked does not
possess or use, but we doubt whether it
helps the cause of the, paper which per-
sists in pursuing such policy. Marshal
Cummings is not an Irishman in the tlrst
place, and if he were the language as
crlbed to him by the reporters of papers
whose business it is to attack him would
not be used. The Irishrac are not such
blackguards and ignoramusesa as the young
men who have been trying to caricature
the marshal under the presumption that
he is an Irishman, would have their
readers believe. Their lampoons are
being resented in quarters where such
resentment might be expected.

THE LASTOF THE BUFFALOES.
What Scene Is Presented at Some
Far-Western Railroad Stations.

Far-Westcrn Railroad Stations.
A correspondent of the American Field
writes graphically as follows: Those of
your read ers who have never crossed the
Mississippi river in quest of large game
would do well to hasten if they expect to
find anything left for them to shoot. Fif-
teen years ago made my first far-west-
ern trip Then the builaloes and ante
lopes were in such numbers that the pas
sengers on the railroad to Denver slaugh.
tered them from the car windows. The
train was not Infrequcntly delayed while
the boyines were crossing the tracks,
and the plainsmen thought antelope too
easy Il prey, by reason of their tamencss,
to bother with To-day there is probably
not one wild buffalo remaining Think
of it! Of the countless thousands that a
few years roamed onr prairies there is to-
day not one in existence. The hunter
who gets seventy-iye cents for dollar
and half skin; the coroneted foreigner
and the bloodthirsty native have done
their work-nothing but piles of bones
remain.
Your readers can form some concep-
ton of how vlllainous the cruel slaughter
has been when they learn, as ! lately did,
that from one station alone lMinnewau-
kon, on the Northern Pacific railroad)
the shipment of buffalo bones gathered
from lnc pTuilltS anu soiu ioi itl tliiH'is
averaged for more than year seventy
five car loads daily. This represents the
enormous, almost incredible number of
nearly 100000 of these noble animals,
from one locality, sacrificed to mans
brutal greed.
II s5nd you photograph of a not un-
common sight at any OF the stations on
newly opened roads. The pile, as / saw
it fortnight ago, was about thirty feet
high and 300 long. There is terrible
lesson in it to my mind, though it comes
too late.
'The last buffalo IN Dakota was killed
in July, 1885, and his head adorns one Of
the billings of the railroad at jamestown
There is something pathetic to me in that
head and its place of deposit. 1t Is like
the t ophy winch the savage warrior
hangs TO hE tent pole, or the scalp on the
Indians glrdle."

FAIR assessments are what Omaha
needs, not an increased tax levy. Our
levy is too high already, 1t is SO high
that it forms a standing argument for
improved methods of property valuation.
A decreased tax levy and an increased
assessment would fill the bill in the pro-
posed charter amendment looking to
revenue reform.
