of the Now York World , will probably

Mr. . CLKVELAND Is said to like the
views from the whlto houao windows.
The man who , as president , can look from
the whlto honso windowo is not likely to
find any fault with the surrounding
scenery. ,
IT la asid that President Cleveland has
expressed a dealra to put Jadgo Thur
man on the unptomo bench In case of n
vacancy occurring during hla term. Such
an appointment would certainly do honor
to the supreme court , and [ reflect croelT
upon Mr. Cleveland.
THE women suffragists atlll continue to
rnafco themselves heard and felt. They
have succeeded in inducing the lower
homo of the legislature of Rhode Island
to pass a resolution submitting to th
electors of that atato n coaetltutiona
women suffragist amendment. Now , i
they can capture tKo senate , they will bo
happy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

TUB Inter-stato exposition , which is t
bo held in Omaha this fall , promisaa t
bo a glgintic success. The enthusiasm
with which our loading oltlzana are takln
hold of the enterprise , is rather surprla
Ing. It is evident tlat they intend thane
no time shall bo lost in getting the pro
ject under way. It is the early bird tha
catches the worm. Wo hopa to bo abl
.it an early day to give full details o
what la baing done. ]
RUODK ISLANDS agitating tha subject
of a now constitution. Under the pres
ent constitution a foreign born citizen is
obliged to own § 134 worth of real estate
before ho can vote. Rhode Island is , wo
believe , the only atato in the union that
makes any aucb rcqulremsntj of voters ,
and this clauio is ono of the fo&tnres that
it is proposed to abolish by the adoption
of a now constitution. It la a matter of
Eorno surprise that this properly qualifi
cation has not long since bacn done away
with.
DUIUNO the cold days of the long aud
unbroken winter the severest known
for years wo predicted that "Old Prob
abilities" would bo conrb martialod be
fore spring. That the prediction has
come true does not surprise us in the
Joist. Any weather prophet who cannot
give ns a warm day once In a while during
ihroo months of winter ought to bo con
victed of conduct prejudicial to the good
order of the signal service and detri
mental to human welfare and comfort.
ACCORDING to the recent decision of f
the supreme court of California Chinese
children born in the United Rlatca can
not bo excluded from the public schools
of the state , and this opinion was af
firmed by Justice Field , sitting as circuit
justice In California. If thin view of the
law bo correct , then no utato con make a
law discriminating against the Chinese
on account of race or color. The Ohlneio
children , In f ct , become American citi
zens , and when of lawful age will bo en
titled to suffrage and the right to hold
public oflkc.
"OuJEorou" Holman has managed to
provide for himself this summer a snug
trip at the public expense. Ho Is chair
man of the special committee to investi
gate the Indian schooh and the manage
ment of tbo Yellowstone park. Thii will
like the committee from Fortress Monroe -
roe to Santa Fo and the Yellowstone , a
tour of Bovoral mouths if they atop at all
the Indian schools. The subjects have
boou fully investigated by congress , but
It was felt to'bo n necessity that Judge
Holmin ihonld ttke a summer vacation
of a pleaiant kind. No 0110 , however ,
ought to object , ai ho has eerttlnly
earned a vacation trip of that kind if any
jnombor of congress la entitled to it.
LAPSED LAND CLAIMS.
Tbo supreme court , of ihe United
Utos fans rendered an important decision
n regard to the status of lapsed hcmc-
tead and pre-emption claims within the
imits of railroad land grants. It will
> o remembered that those sections which
las been partly filed upon by homestead-
ra or pto-ompiora were excepted Irora
he grant and an equal quantity of land ,
celled chowherj , was given to the rail-
oads Instead. In many instincoa it
lappenod that the chima of the pre
mptora were not perfected , nnd the
lomestcads wcra not occupied the
neccsmty length of time or the law
win not othortrito compiled with , and
consequently the rights of such preemptors
omptors and homesteaders lapsed. In
; hcso cases the railroads sot up a cVim
, o such lapsed hiuls on the ground thai
.hey reverted to the roads instead of the
ovornment , and the railroad companies
thereupon proceeded to sell them. The
decision of the supreme court , however ,
3 to the eficot that the reversion of these
nnda la to the government , just as il
.hoy had been outside of the limits ol
the grant , and that they are subject to
new filings on the same tarms , It scorns
Lbat the decision was anticipated by lane
speculators , who have in various parts o :
the west put now filings upon those
lands. The consequence is that thouo
who have purchased such lapsed lands
From the railroads will bo ousted
and their only recourse for reimbursement
mont will bo upon the railroad com' '
panics , The court holds also that tha
more laying oat of the general cotirso o
aland grant railroad did not opotato as a
withdrawal cf the lands from homcsloat
entry , but that the withdrawal was onlj
completed when the railroad plat wa
fihd. In sorno instances homestead am
pre-emption claims were filed between th
tlmo of laying out the course of the rail
road and the filing of its plat , and ac
cording to this decision such claims won
good.
COUNCILMAN WOODWOIITH Is at hla olt
tricks. Ho is soliciting signatures tope
titlona for sandstone to bo used on Far
nam street and Sherman avenuo. Mr
Woodworth Is violating the now charter
and wo advlsj him to read section
11 of the now charter. This section
which was passed for the benefit of sue !
councilman \Voodwortli , is as follows
"Any officer of the city , or member o
the city council , who shall , by himself o
agent , or as the agent or representative
of any other person or corporation , become
come a party to , or In auy way Interested
in any contract , work , or letting nude
the authority and by the action
of the city council , or forma !
any material to bo used in such work o
under such contract ; or who shall nccep
or receive any valuable consideration fo
his influence or vote shall ba fined in
any sum not exceeding $1,000 , or Im
prlsonment id the county , jail neb exceed
Ing six months , or both , in the discretion
of the court. " If Mr. Woodworth can
afford to ta\o the chances of fine an <
imprisonment , very well ; but if not , then
ho better stop before the law Is enforcec
against him.
ONE of the big federal prizes Is th
Now York poBtoflico. The terra of Posl
master Pearson expires on the 21st o
this month , and there are , of course ,
host of applicants for the position. Th
SpricgQeld Ecpublican says that it ha
not been for some time and should nebo
bo a political office , and duo regaids fo
a "business administration" wllllwcig
heavily in favor of the reappolntment o
Pearson , who Is very popular with bet
parties. Such an idea is absurd on It
face. It Is not at all likely tha
President Cleveland would continue
republican in suh aa Importan
nnd lucrative office when there are hnn
drcds of able-bodied democrats who wnn
thu place. It Is pretty certain that Cleveland
land will not undertake to create so mam
moth a row in the democratic rinks b
any such conr.se. His stand on civil ser
vica ia about all the democrats cm sia
low just now , and that is a very unsavot
dee for them. It stands to reason tha
the republican postmasters must go whc
their commissions expire. No civil cor
vice rulci am hold them in their places
THE April Century will contain a ropl
to Mr. George W. "Cable's recently pub
Haled and much discustcd article on th
"Freedman's Case In Equity. " It h en
titled , "In Plain Black and Whlto , " an
la written by Mr. Henry W. Grady , on
of the editors of the Atlanta Comtitutioi
Mr. Grady claims that Mr. Cables doe
not truly represent the south ; that thor
la a general protest against the statomon
cf the case , and universal protest ngains
bis suggestions for the future ; "that th
south will never adopt Mr. Cable's BU
gestlon of tha sociil Intermingling of th
races. It can never be drlvon intoao
cepting it. So far aom there being ,
growing sentiment In favor of the India
criminate mixing of the races , " Mr. Gin
dy lays , "the Intelligence of both race
Is moving farther from that position da
by diy , Mr. Cable will probably repl
to Mr. Grady In a later number of Th
Centurfi.
As YET the independents have not re
oolvod any rewards at the bauds of th
new administration , but It 1s quito likol
that In tbo course of events they will b
given some of the federal offices , and w
wi'l venture to say that as a rule the
will not be ton independent to rcfus
Ihoai , It is understood that Presldon
Cleveland wants to glvo the comnlsslon
ershln of Indian affairs to an independent
ent , as ho believes that the Independent
represent in a largo degree tha modern
enlightened Ideas of treating the Indian
question. Just aa wo expected , thoto ' i
no lack of Independent ctmlldatea fo
Iho place , now that the president's iu
ontlons have become known. Among
10 candidates most talked of are Thoo-
ere Lyman , of Majtaclinsottn , end Gen *

THE Chlcigo Herald , In commenting
pen Senator Van Wyck's action in re-
ird to Teller and the "Backbone" grant ,
ays : "Mr. Teller goes out of the in-
erlor department and into the ecnata
with a largo slztd scindal clinging to
lim. His predecessor in the senate , Mr.
lill , has told Bomo tales out of school ,
iut the senator from Nobrask , Van

TIIE plan of expressing the popular
choice for postmaster by a primary elec'
tlon is growing in favor with the dctno
crats all over the country. Already end
elections have boon held In numerous
towns and villages , and now wo sco tha
Allentown and other places in Pennsyl
vama propcsa to follow this course. I
seems to us that this method Is mud
better than the petition system , althougl
neither will very likely have much weigh
with the postmaator-gonoral in , deciding
upon appointments , which will probabl ]
continue to bo made In the old way
Nevertheless the democrats are at liberty
orty to amusa themselves tfith OB man ;
primary olootions ai they ECO fit.
IT will bo easy enough to dlspcso o
quite a number of prominent democratic
loaders , but wo are asked what Is to b
done for the grand army of torch-bearers
Wo know not how they are to bo re
warded o'sawhore ' , but wo would like to
inquire if the torch-boarcra in Omaha
have not already boon remunerated fo
tholr services ! Were they not at the oni
of tha campaign presented with th
torches which they carried In the pro
cession ? What more ought they to ex
pect ? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TIIE office-seekers are beginning t
hold Indignation meetings on the btroo
corners and the hotel corridors and bar
rooms of Washington. There is a general
oral howl all along the line becaus
Cleveland does not Immediately give t
every man an office upon demand , Instoat
of referring applicants to ihe heads o
departments. The spoils-hunters are beginning
ginning to ask in dead earnest what the
are there for , anyhow.

Spingfield ( Mass , ) Republican ,
These who h va talked with him sa
that under the veil of high regard and re
spect they discern evident signs of hi
hostility to Cleveland. It grows out o
his disappointment at not being placed a
the head of the ticket , and tbo rathe
pointed snubs ho has received at tb
hands of Olevelbnd , who has paid no al
tentlon to his suggestions , tave that the ;
have sufficed to keep McDonald out o'
the cabinet. Hendrlcks considers Cleveland
land a failure , and said in almost so many
words that bis administration seomei

country. This kind of utterance anc

ins had her share of excitement lately.
a common with all other IOWA , cities wo
iavo had an election of city officers or
'Dads. ' " The question of liconsa or
irohlbitlon entered largely into the con
oat and both sides are claiming the vie
.ory. . As soon as the alderman holding

Iho next thing of Importance to Rod
Dak and the whole state of Iowa is the
fact that this city has at last produced a
set of follows with enough grit nnd car-
neatness to face all the odium of tryicg
.o onforcj the prohibitory law. It ap
pears that n few loading butiuesj mon
nero resolved themselves into n committee -
too to do something in regard to this
matter. There has been loud kicking
[ or a long tlmo at tbo way the law was
being "not enforced. " There were two
drug ttorcs nnd ono "wholesale" whisky
dealer running under sanction of lav , and
nbotit ton contraband places whore tha
ardent could bo had. lied Oak has a
brewery , owned by a good , honest and
Industrious follow with a good moral
character. At the January session of
the board of supervisors ho made appli
cation , accompanied by the proper'peti
tion and sufficient signatures and good
and lawful bond , to make beer for use as
medicine. The petition wai refused.
This was all right if the refusal was for
the purpose of suppressing the traffic in
beer. But such it appears was not the
case , as our wholesale dealer has already
shipped in from Milwaukee or St. Louis
throe cars of boar. So it would appear
to a man up a tree that the brewery is
closed to glvo Milwaukee and St. Louis
and wholesa'o liquor mon a chance.
For the benefit of other towns , I wil
state , as briefly as I can , the modus op
erand ! by which the temperance people
captured the camp of the enemy last Fri
day week. They secured the services o :
a young man hero to act aa detective ark
prcmiicd him a bonus if the raid was car
ried to a successful termination. This
y. m. went at his business in a business
like way. After auppar at his boarding
house , ho casually remarked to one or
two of his fellow-boarders ; "Boys , let's
take a stroll to the depot. " On the way
they came to a saloon kept by ono And ]
Wombold. The y. n ; . proposed that thoj
go in and take a drink. They called fo
whiskey and got it , am
shook dlco who should pay.
This was repeated several times
and during this time the y. m. notec
down who came in the saloon. Each
succeeding evening this y. m. took in a
fresh saloon wita varied experiences , On
Friday , February 25 , a raid was made
simultaneously en every saloon In the
city , and "goods" captured In "all. Or
March 3rd the case of Wombold was se
for trial and evidence good and sufficlon
was produced to convince the jurr tha
ho was guilty on all the counts as cbarg
od' , and Esquire Mills assessed the dam
ages at § 550 , or § 50 each for thirteen
counts , \tith costs.
Tbo worst feature of the case remains
to ba told. Wombold was put upon the
stand by his own attorney to testify in
his own behalf. After taking the cath ho
stated that ho had never sold any liquor
or had any in his place since the fourth
of last July. He stands a good chiuce to
bo convicted ef perjury and getting a
trip to Fort Madison.
1'BA KIDGE ,
Twenty-Tiilrd Anniversary of a Mom
orabloltattlc.
St. Louis Republican ,
Twenty-three years ago the battle o
Pea Ridge , In Benton counly , Arkansas
occupying three days , the titb , 7h anc
8th cf March , 1852 , was fought between
the federal forces nndor Gen. Samuel R.
Curtis , and the confederate forces under
Gen. Earl Van Dorn. Though over
shadowed by greater conflicts during the
war , yet the battle of Pea Ridge or Elk
Horn , as termed by the confederates ,
wai the greatest battle ever fought wcsi
of the Miealtsippi river.
It was on the 5th of March tint Gen.
Cuttin , who was with C'arr's division :
Croaa Hollows , learned of the confodrrate
advance. He sent to Gen. Sigcl , who
was encamped near Bentonvillo , to fal
bsck to the north back of Sugar creek ,
some twelve inlloj distant , to join Col.
Jeff 0. Davis' division , in camp at a spo
that Curtia had selected some two weeks
before as a battle ground should the con
federates return from the Boston
mountains. The same night Carr's di
vision , with Gen. Cortis , also fell back
from Cross Hollows twelve miles to joir
Davis. The night was ovceodingly cole
and tbo march not very pleasant. Mean
time the armies of Gen. Price and Gen.
McCullongh under Van Dorn had de
cided upon a bold movement by pushing
around Curtis' right flank , to a position
between hla army and his base at Spring ,
field , Mo , whore Capt. Phil. Sheridan
was on duty aa chief quartermaster.
By this movement hla soldiers first en
countered Slgel's division before it had
reached Bontonvillo and kept upa run
ning fight during tbo afternoon of the
Gth. Sometimes the confederates In
small force secured positions in Seigel's
front , but that officer succeeded in cut
ting bis way through and reaching Curtis'
main army. On the morning of ths
Gth of March Curtis' troops wera in
position , occupying the height north
and and overlooking Sugar Creek val
ley , the left resting upon the tel
egraph road and the right upon
a ravlno at right angles with the main
valley , while tire miles to the rear , at
Elk-Horn tavern , were packed the trains
and commissary stores , guarded by the
Twenty-fifth Missouri ( Phelps1 regiment )
cavalry. Slgel's two divisions , commanded -
ed by Asboth and Osterbaus , respective
ly occupied tbo right ; JeffO. Davis held
the centre , while Carr was posted on the
left of tbo line thus formed , fronting
south , whence the confederate attack was
oxpoctad ,
On the Gth Gen. Curtis ordered the
line of rldgea along the north sldo of
Sugar creek to be strengthened by brotst-
work * . Treoi wore cat down and cinnon
planted itady to belch forth on the ad
vancing fee , YUiile Trott's store and other
houses in the valley of the creek were
deliberately burned to the ground eo is
to prevent the cnesiy soaiiog cover be
hind them In the approichlng conflict ,
Jut the position of the confoderitcs at
Jontonvlllo showed their Intentions to
l nk and get in the rear of
3urtl . Col. G. M. Dodge of tha
fourth Iowa cut down trees and ob-
itruclod the road , thereby preventing
Van Dorn from reaching the federal roar
until 9 o'clock on thomornine of the 7th ,
when the ball was opened. The first gun
was fired by Capt. Dick Collins of Bled-
aoo's battery , who was nut last evening
fit the Laclcdo. Then it was that Curtis
nas obliged to change front and rcverso
ils position , a most dangerous mancuuvro
'n the presence of the enemy.
A change of front Implied that the fed
eral artillery ttaln should take the place
jf the supply train and vlco vorca. All
haito was made to substitute artillery for
bnge.i o wtgons and boxes of ammuni
tion for boxes of hard bread. The trans
fer wss not accomplished before the bit-
tie began , and the federa's ' were pressed
staadlly back on their now front. Elkhorn -
horn tavern fell into the hands of the
confederate * . On the 7th the battle raged
furiously nil ( Uy , on n line extending
from near Lee Town to Elkhorn It wrxi
on this day that Ben McOullough was
killed from his horeo. Ho wai dlntln-
gulshod by a o"nt , M'st and pants
of black velvet , long boots
and a whlto fo't , hat. On
the 8th about 10 o'clock the
confederate f roe withdrew from the
Hold. Col. Musscr , who had a liotss
killed under htm , mentions the sjntcity
cf provisions. On the rctrcatthoy found
a field t f turnips , nnd B few pigs loafing
about Mr. Van Winkle's mills , and this
was the first obtained for two or thr < .o
days , Some curious inc'dcnls ' occurred
during the three days' light. Col. Ellis
tf the First Missouri ( federal ) cavalry
states that ho was rt turning from a scjut
towards the Indian territory to Curtis'
camp and , not knowing that the "reba"
around , ran Into tholr camp and stayed
over night with thtin , both eidja in the
confusion not knowing each other except
as friends.
The following is related l-y Major L ,
T. Bonnet of the thirty-sixth Illinois : "A
shell killed John H. Earrls , and toro
away sn arm from William Gibson. He
started to find the hospital alone , anc
when asked by Col. Grensol if ho should
send some ono to help him along , hero
ically replied : 'No , colonel the roer
are needed here ; I can fine
my way alone. ' Soon afterward
a lieutenant of an Indiana regi
ment had n finger shot off by a stray bul
let. Ho ordered two of his company , a
sergeant and a private , to accompany him
to the hospital In the roar. Col. Grensol
seeing how alight was hla wound asked
why ho required two attendants when mon
were so much needed in front. The
lieutenant halted and while in the act of
giving his reasons a solid shot came
crashing through the brains of his attend
ants and ttruck him in the breast , pass
Ing through his bo-ly , hurling all thrco to
the earth a mangled mass of blood , shat
tered banes and quivering flesh.1'
Titno has made 1 ts changes. Among
the leading commanders dead on the federal
oral side are Gen. Curtis , Gen. Jeff. 0
Davis and Gen. Aatoth. Among the de
ceased confederate commindors ore Gen
Van Dorn , Gen. McCullogb , Gen
Sterling Price and Col. Herbert of Lou
isiana.
Uood Fruit
Prairie Farmog ,
The beat fruit regions In the northern
states are in the vicinity of largo bodies
of water , on the east , south and espec'ally
the southern , sides. The prevailin ;
winter winds are from tbo northwest anc
north. The chill is some tr hat taken oil
by those bodies of water , which are kepi
from severe freezing as above explained.
But the mass of this cold water and the
mel'ing Ice In spring keeps the tsmpera-
tnro of the air south and southeast and
east of them cool Into April and May ,
greatly reducing the number of changes ,
the alternate expansions nnd contractions
and thus less of the wood and fewer buds
are injured. Any means of shading the
trunks and branches of fruit trees and
vines , oven from the sun's direct rays in
the later winter and early tprlrig , would
make a great difference in their summer
vigor , growth and fruitfulness. If wo
mistake not , the best peach orchards in
Now Jersey are on the north sides of
pretty steep grounds , where they are part
ly protected into spring from both sun
warm southerly winds , that alternate the
temparaturn. Oao would , at first thought
choose a warm , euony slope , Instead of
cold northern one , for euch fruit.
