ORE FROM MEXICO.
1t Will Cause the Location of A mother
Bonded Warehouse Here.

II Will Cause the LOc cation of A nother
Bonded Warehouse Here.
Omaha is to have another bonded ware
house.
The Omaha and Grant smelling and re-
fining company, undera provision of the Nc
Kinley bill, will import crude ore in bond
from Mexico, paying the duties here instead
Of at the boarder.
Heretofore the smelling company has been
obliged to submit to having its shipments OF
ore from Mexico delayed several days at Ell
Paso, the port of entry, while the assayer
there sampled the ore and made a certificate
OF its grade, charging fee Of S. per car for
his work
The delay in transportation was n serious
one, as the value Of the ore fluctuated
greatly, and efforts were made by Collector
Alexander, at the request of the smelling
company, to have the ore transported in
bond to Omaha without being delayed at Ell
Paso
The first effort in this direction was made
about two months ago and met with direct
refusal by the treasury department.. Yester-
day. however, Mr.. Alexander was notified
that different construction had been placed
on the clause in the Mckinley bill aud the
importation of ore in bond would be allowed.
The smelling company will provide q
bonded warehouse and the ore viii be placed
in it as soon as received. The ore will be
assayed here and duties collected in accord
ance with the result shown.

Radical, But Effective.

The frequent complaints made by neg
lected and abused wives, whose hus-
bands spend their money for liquor,
have caused Mayor Sloane to adopt
a radical course, and course which promises
a speedy and certain remedy. The mayor
has notified the liquor sellers not to- furnish
liquors to certain men. If this quiet admoni-
tion does not stop the evil the mayor will is
sue proclamation notifying all persons and
all liquor dealers not to furnish liquor to
these men, naming them. Then in case this
fails to reform these drunken wife beaters, It
is proposed to pass an ordinance establishing
wife abusers whipping post and to keep
the post in public and in active emDloymen t

Section lis provides that upon the petition
OF property owners the council may establish
sprinkling districts and levy tax to pay the
expense of sprin king.
In section l20 the committee recommended
that the city clerk be appointed by the may or
and that the salary be fixed at $1,000. The
council was not in favor of placing the ap-
pointment OF city clerk in the hands of the
mayor. The section was changed so as to
leave the election Of city clerk with the coun-
Gil.
Section 40 provides that the fiscal year
shall begin and end in accordance with other
provisions of the charter.
Section l42 relates to notices that must be
served upon the city by persons who claim to
have been injured by defective sidewalks or
other causes.

so as to give the mayor all powers and COM
penSations that belong to other mem bers OF
the board by fire and police commissioners
Messrs. Specht, Osthof, Bechel and others
were in favor of placing the appointment of
the members of the fire and police commits
sion in the hands of the mayor instead of the

other members of the board Of fire and police
commissioners.
The police judge will receive salary of
$4,000, and 81 600 of that amount shall be paid
by the county.
Mr.. Moriarity offered an amendment to
authorize the calling of the regular city elec-
ton each year at the same time and place as
the state and county elections, in November
instead of December. He supported this
amendment upon the ground that the sepa-
rate city elections are simply a burden of ex-
pense amounting to about $1,000 each year,
when the elections may as well be held at
the same time as the county and state elec.
tons. The amendment was adopted.
On motion of MIR. Beche committee OF
six was appointed by the chair with the MAJ yor
as chairman, to take charge of the amend.
ments as adopted and see that they are prop
erly presented to the legislature.
The following gentlemen were appoin ted
as that committee: Messrs. Bechel, Morl.
arty, McLearie, Cooper, Burdish and Olsen.
The council then adjourned.

thority that no one has even been given any

Kansas City Star: Russia an
nounces in advance the pro-
liability of another famine in 1892.
The winter crops for next year are al
ready sown, but the acreage is small,
farmers being unwilling to put back
into the ground for new crop grain
for which starving multitudes are clam
oring. In addition to that a worm has
been playing havoc with the tender
shoots of the plants, and the weather
has been unfavorable for termination.
The calamities resulting from adverse
natural conditions are terrible at best,
but when people have tosuffer con-
tinuously from a tvrannical and exact
ing government like Russia the hor-
rors of crop failures and insufficient
food supplies are increased hundred
fold" From this picture it is clear that
Russia presents the most inviting field
for the calamity bowler to ply his voca-
ton of any on earth, with the promise of
a prolonged job. The situation over
there contrasted with the lavish album
dance of everything and the absolute
liberty of conscience and speech, and
almost of action, in this country, ought
to close the mouths of the screachers
here with very shame.

Boston on this subject Sunday night,
taking the ground that portions OF
Africa, which could be acquired by ne
gotiation, were highly suitable for the
proposed experiment In point OF climate:
agricultural and mineral resources, and
all other respects. He also expressed
the belief that the colored race OF the
United States might TINS become the
chief instrument for outstanding the
dark continent and opening its way to
all the blessings of civilization.
Bishop Turner's enthusiasm IN this
behalf does not appear to be generally
shared by the people of his race, whose
domestic attachments are strong, who
feel that this is their own country as
well as that of the whites, and who do
not develope any great aptitude or IN
stinct for pioneer colonization. Possibly
the number he suggests could be IN
duced to make the trial were sufficient
inducements offered, but it is doubtful
if the government of the United States
can soon be persuaded to take any spec
iaI hand in African development, either
by colonization or in partnership with
other powers.
In the meantime the significant item
appears upon the custom records that
there were exported from Boston to
Africa during the fiscal year ended June

rennrson,. Poems Of Art.

The group of poems In which Tennyson
deals with art is important, not only for
the poems themselves, but also for the
light which they throw upon his artistic
principles and tastes. 1t is not altogether
by chance that the poets TO whom he gives
greeting are Milton, Virgil, Dante and
Victor Hugo. In ''The Poet" you will find
his early conception OF the power OF poetry;
in '.The Poets Mind" his thought Of its
purity; in ''The Poets Song" his avowal
that its charm depends upon faith in the
immortal future.
1.-THE Palace of Art" is an sllegory Of the
inpotence of art when separated from
human love 1.-THE Flower" tells In sym
bolic manner his experience with unrea-
sonine critics. THE Spiteful Letter" and
Literary Squabbies" are "reminiscences OF
the critical warfare which ragged around
him in his youth and made him sometimes
forget MS own principle OF doing bis work
"as quietly and as well as possible without
much needing the praise or the dispraise
But to my mind the most important ana
in some respects the most beautiful Of these
art poerns is Merlin and the Clean" The
wonder is that none of the critics seem 70

A KANSAS MANS OPINION.

From the Chicago Inter-oceau-
At the Grand Pacific Yesterday was
Mr.. L. d. Skinner of Wichita, Kan, who
is at the head of one Of the largest bank
ing institutions of the west.
81 have Just returned from the east,
said Mr.. Skinner, and / find that the
capitalists of New York and Boston are
again looking with favor on western in
vestments The crop that is now being
marketed will pay off large share of
the mortgages. and if it is repeated next
wear, the boom viii be again on in
earnest In Kansas we are eiated, and
Won NAV set it down as fact that this
years crop has buried the Alliance party
out of sight.
Wichita has been very dull for eIgh-
teen months, but good business Is now
being transacted. The farmers, by
promptly paying their debts. are demon
straiing that they are not nullifers. Al
ready a relief Is being felt, and very
soon eastern money will be coming our
way for investment

An improved Buoy.

A new buoy of great value has been
added to the list of life saving devices. IL
consists of an annuiar copper tank, with
hole in the center, across which is hung a
life chain, upon which person can sit or
support himself with ease while grasPing
the buoy. This tank is divided into nu-
merous watertight compartments to mini
mize the possibility of injury. Al the side
are arranged two hollow rods, working
upon a swivel joint, the bottom or heavier
u6rtion of these rods being equipped with
cans for the reception Of phcsphide OF cal
cium. When the buoy Is hung at the
ships side the upper ends OF these hollow
rods are closed by stoppels, which answer
the double purpose of steadying the buoy
while hung for use and also for preventing
the entrance of rain from above into the
can at the lower end.
When the buoy is cast adrift the heavier
ends of the rods swing under the water
like pendulums, immersing the cans con-
tanning the phosphide of calcium, which
is Immediately ignited by the entrance OF
the water through the perforatfons for that
pnrpose at the bottom. In the daytime Q
discharge of smoke issues from the upper
ends of the hollow rods, while at night
this smoke becomes a luminous flame that
can be seen for several miles. Besides
these advantages over the old type, which
was seldom to be relied on, this buoy IS
more compact, better protected from In
Jury and much lighter. 1t will sustain
three persons. In test of the buoy man
jumped overheard when a ship was going
ahead at full speed. The ship was stopped,
the buoy was dropped and the lifeboat was
lowered, and in three minutes the man,
who had reached the buoy, was picked up
and brought on board.-Philadeiphia Press

A DOUBLE HALLUCINATION.

The platform makers of the New York
Democratic convention evidently think
that the silver purchased by the govern
ment under the Sherman law is ali for
coinage. This is a delusion, of course.
for which there is no excuse, but many
of the Democratic papers in the east and
nearly all of them in this locality were
under this very Authorization, too, until
recently. st. Louis Globe Democrat.
1t is but fair to mention in this connec-
tion that the platform makers OF the
New York Republican convention
and of the Pennsylvania Repubii-
can convention were also under
hallucination in declaring that
the present silver law-the act OF
July IA, 1S90-provides for the coinage
of the products of American mines.
The act simply provides that the secre-
tary of the treasury 'shall purchase from
time to time silver bullion 10 the aggre-
gate amount of 4,500,000 ounces, or so
much thereof as may be offered in each
month at the market price theoeof 1t
does not limit the purchases to Amerl-
can silver, nor does it declare that all
the American product available for CON-
age purposes shall be purchased.
Authorizations seem to be the order of
the day on both sides of the silver ques-
ton. Washington Post.

Italy may disclaim any feeling in the
matter of her refusal to take part in the
Columbian exposition in so, and strive
to defend such refusal upon the plea of
a long established precedent not to take
part IN any international demonstration,
but it viii be bard to convince the peo-
pie of this country Of her sincerity in the
disclaimer. Ordinarily such a declara-
hon of non-action might be offered and
cause no comment. but the fact IS that
Italy is TO be honored next 10 the United
States by the coming event, and in fact
is little less interested in it than this
country is. In view of the exceptional
situation. therefore, TO take part in the
great worlds fair would not be regarded
anywhere as a sacrifice of principle, but
rather in fact, defense thereof and
the nations highest prerogative.
