There tiro questions Involved in the
Irvlno case, tlio discussion of which is
llublo to give olTonco to certain poisons,
and Wo observe that tho daily papers,
with one exception, havo carefully
avoided tho subject. Tho Nvwh, how
ever, which took a bold Htand at tho
tiinoof tho tragedy. discusses tho new
phases of tho caso in its issue of Monday
night, and ItB remarlB aro interesting,
and on tho whole, ory BotiBiblo.
Tho defeiiBo of Mrs. Irvine in tho
divorco proceeding at Salt Lake in
well calculated to enlist tho sympathy of
thosonot fully conveiBunt with tho farts;
but, tho A'etea says, it leadn like a law
yer inadoono, one mado to lit thooiicuin
Btances and to dovetail with tho inci
dents that BtandoutBo prominently in
tho case. Our contemporary further
truthfully sayfl;
Tho fact that bIio mado an appoint
mont to meet Montgomery and travel to
Chicago on tho train with him, that she
consented to register at an obsouie
hotel undor an assumed name and to
V occupy adjoining and connecting iooiiih,
Jthut when Irvine linked her where she
fltorped bIio deceived him, taken in
connection with hei admission as to
going driving with Montgomery on
tirnviniifl neeiinioiiH. nro nritllll facie
ovidenco that sho either (fid wrong or
intended wrong and wero at least
BUlllciont justification for her husband
believing her guilty.
But bo this as it may, it must yet be
plain to all fair minded people that
Irvino's conduct Bineo tho Bhooting of
Montgomery luifl been despicable
Notwithstanding tho Tact that ho had
committed murder, Irvine was uphold by
a great many people, for it was believed
that ho had been cruelly wronged. And
at tho conclusion of tho trial ho left
Lincoln in tho enjoyment of a degree
of public respect. This, wo think, ho
Iiub sinco forfeited.
Irvino was saved from hanging by the
conduct of his wife at tho trial. Sho
had it in her power to make tho killing
of Montgomery an unjuBtillable and
cold blooded murder, or an spontan
eouaact of vongeance Tor which there had
been much provocation. Inspired by
what motive wo know not, Mrs. Irvine
choso to assist her husband, and ho was
acquitted. Irvino left tho court room in
this city such a debtor to his wife that
no sacrillco on his part could havo
squared accounts. Admitting all that
has been charged concerning her past
life, ho should still have been willing to
meet any reasonable demand on her
part. On tho contrary hits conduct
toward her was most base. llistteaehery
had commenced before tho murder trial,
and ho kopt it up after lie had been
acquited. Ho apparently exhausted
every meaiiB in his power to louder mis
erable tho woman who is tho mother of
his child and who had saved his life, and
then commenced divorco proceedings
which have, as all newspaper readers
aro awaro, fairly reeked with vilonrss.
Ono wouldthink that for tho Bako of his
daughter, Flossie, if for no other icasou,
ho would havo refrained from unloosing
tho avalanche of honor that for the last
week or two has inundated Salt Lake
city, andwhich must for over havo a
distressing inlluenco upon tho daughter.
It is roported, .tnd wo regret to say
that there is some show of plausibility
in tho report, that Captain Phelps
Paino is circulating a petition among
republicans asking Tor tho appoint
ement of Major J. D. Calhoun to tho
postmastorship. Major Calhoun is a
stanch democi at and ho has not hesitated
to Haunt his democracy in tho face of
his republican friends, but hois never
theless, very favorabl icgaided by thoso
of opposite political faith, and if the
democtatic successor to Mr. Ocro were
to bo chosen by the republicans in this
city, tho Major would sail into olllco by
an overwhelming majority. Possessing
as ho does tho respect and good will of
tho republican, we cannot imagine
why ho should deliberately jeopardize
Ins popoularity with tho latter by in
trusting a petition to Paino, who hasn't
any standing among lopublicans, and
whoso friendship may bo a positive det
riment. Cal doesn't need Paiuo's
help, and if tho petition is in his hands,
tho major ought to piomptly call it in.
It is possible that Paino is circulating
tho petition without tho Major's
knowledge Wo hopeso.
There ate differences of opinion as to
just how far a uowspaper should go in
its profrsbed policy of piotecting tho in
terests of tho public; but wo imagine
most people will applaud tho eutorpribo
of "Toby Rex," of tho Xexca, in tele
graphing to New York to substantiate
tho charge of literary theft against the
mongiel aggiegation that iccontly ap
peared at KuiikoV opera house, under
tho naiiiu of "Palgo'BPlaers;" albeit we
aro surprised that the astute and more
or less original gentleman known as
"Toby Hex" should have thought it nee
essary to send to New Yorlt for his in
foi iiiation. Hut he performed a real
service in ridding the town of these
theatiical maraudeiH, and wo congratu
late the iXncs on its courage in exposing
an imposture notwithstanding tho fact
that it was treading on the toes of an
advertiser.
Tho following, which the World
Herald gravely asserts was written
setioiisly by a Loudon editor is seated)
less ridiculous than many of tho wise
expressions of the Loudon newspaper
men concerning American alTaiis:
Tho cablegrams announce that Colonel
Cod), who will be remembered in Lon
don, has been returned as ma) or ot
Ncbiaska. No better selection could
have been mado. Colonel Cody was the
friend of a man named lloono, who
discovctod Kentuck) in 181!!). After
marrying tho granddaughter of a dis
tinguished gentleman known as Sitting
Hull Frog, Cody was twico governor ot
Chicago, and at ono time was mado
inuyorof the Aikansas legislature. lie
also served in the confederate arm)
under lien liutler, who so giillantly de
fended Now Orleans against (Joueral
Longstreet. Tho province of Dctinit io
warded him for his militar) services by
sending him to cougi ess, where ho iu-
tioduced a lull tor tlio teller ot tlio
citizens of Bullalo. It was in this that
ho got his name "HufTnlo Hill." While
Mr. Cody has a largo ranch in St. Lotus
he linds time for hteiatuio and writes
for the Atlantic Monthly, a newspaper
edited by Mark Twain and Uncle
Thomas Cabin, a gentleman who made
fame by his ncgrodinlcct sketches.
There aio, apparently, two entirely
different standaids erected in tho State
Journal olllee. Mr. Hixby, tho golden
haired poet and philosopher, has one
standard, and Mr. Jones has another,
and botween tho two theio is a wide
divergence. Mr. Hixby, whoso residence
in Lincoln is comparatively brief, is as
pure and untainted as tho wind that
whistles over tho Nebtaska prairies, and
ho goes for wickedness and vico with all
tho poetic feivor and practical philosoph)
ot which ho !b capable, making the much
vaunted reform ma) or, who condones
criminality and vico instead of attempt
ing to wipe them out, appear in a light
not altogether creditable. Mr. Jones,
on tho other hand, has lived in Lincoln
for a number of )cars, and although
ho is a man whose goodness is
almost a household word in this city, he
lias, wo regret to say, allowed his con
science to become somewhat beared, so
far as his management of the Journal
is concerned, and whilo Mr. Hixby is
writing down sin, he, Mr. Jones, is up
holding, through the news columns, the
policy of tho mayor in allowing tho vico
that infests the city, to take cate of
itself. For the sake of consistency, wo
would advise some slight modification
of tlio positions taken, either on the pint
of Mr. Jones or Mr. Hixby. The latter
should ceiibo saying good words for vir
tue, or Mr. Jones should cease defending
Mr. Woir.
a late confeienco of leading republicans
in this city when it was proposed to
demand the lesiguatioii of Kosowntor
ftoin the national lepubllean committee,
a report of which appealed in last Sun
dny'H Ike.
Hut those who ate surprised at this
action of Howe me not very well
posted.
Chinch Howe is an active candidate
for the cougiessloual nomination in tills
district again, 'litis time, as Tin:
Couiut.it lias stated before, the mini
from Xemaha confidently believes
that a republican can be elected to
succeed Mr. Hryan, atld his desiie for
the nomination may be appiopi lately
described as anient.
Mr. llowo docs not want another
dose of Ike abuse, lie wants the sup
poit of that paper, or at least its silence,
ami intimate fiiends of Mr. Howe aio
awaio of the fact that for the last vein
or two he has boasted that ho has
"lixed up tilings with Hose)."
So ho has been ti hunting his sails to
catch the Kosowntoi btee.o, which
explains his lemarksat the seciet eon
fcronco of republicans.
A word about that confeienco and
the way it was icpoiled in the Ike:
There was an iiifoimal conference of
icpublicatison the evening of the io
puhlicaii jollification meeting at the
Lansing thoatie, to discuss the desir
ability of taking steps looking to the
removal or 10. Hosewatei fiout the
national committee. It was held as in
dicated in the Her, in the headquarters
on the fifth lloor of the Lincoln hotel,
and in addition to John L. Webster,
Dave Mercer, Chinch Howe, L. I).
Richards, Hi ad Slaughter and Tom
Cooke, whoso names aio given in tho
Ike, there were piesent; Tom Majors,.!.
II. Ager, John T. Mallalieti, and others.
Hut there was no lire tepoiter present,
and there was none of that excitement
so vividly poitiaycd in the Ike.
The reported lemarks of Mr. Howe
aro, however, so closely approximate to
what ho actually said, and the teport
bears such other peculiar earmarks that
there is, in the minds of a gieat many
B
i
Strongly corroborative of the opinion
entertained by Lincoln baitkeis, to
which Tiir.Couiiint has made refeience,
is a letter published In the Omaha lite
Sunday, signed "Tinvolling Man," in
whicli it is usseited that the icceiit do
parliueof the Omaha banks will have
tho elfect of injuring Omaha's whole
sale business. This w liter says: "I
read your oiler or the columns or tlio
Ike for discussion in (lie matter of out
hanks dunging exchange on checks
sent1 by the country meichaul on his
local bank, or only receiving the clio:ks
for collection, etc.. and would like to
add. my testimony that their present
waytof handling checks is (hiving tiade
front Omaha. Chicago and Milwaukee
leceivo checks for accounts the same as
Omaha used to, and it gives a good feel
ing to the cottutiy merchant to think
his cheek is good theio and he is in
dined to tutu against Omaha because
she refuses his check. Sioux City job
hers got out their notice of refusal to
lake checks a few days ahead of the
Omaha jobbers, and nearly every
uieichant you met would show tho slip
and remark: 'That ends our Undo with
Sioux City.' Omaha sent out the same
kind of a notice a few days later and it
seemed to be about u staudolf for a
whilo, but now all the wholesale
grocers in Sioux City (I am not posted
as to other towns) allow their travelling
men to do their collecting. They
iccoivo checks or cash and this does
away witlt exchange. Sioux City gains
Omaha losses."
Ho adds: "That these circumstances
are driving trade from Omaha I posi
tively know, as any person can soon
lent n with a little inquiry among the
merchants of northeast Nebiaska."

very strong suspicion that tho report! 'dMRMvliteli has been aroushd by the
Following TitK Counihn's remarks
concerning fads in the public schools,
Mr. Hixby, of tho Journal, takes up the
subject in his usual elfectivo manner.
He bays, and very propeily: "With the
poor time is precious; and a man who
has a huge family audit small income
cannot allotd to keep his childien in
tho schools for yearB and years, when
tho most thoy aro acquiring is gtaco ot
physical movement and the ability to
photograph a toad in crayon, or model
an Egyptian mummy in clay. Moi cover,
not ono child in 500 is fitted by
nature to become an artist, and the
time occupied in penciling the delicate
contour of an oak leaf upon tho black
board could bo more usefully applied in
practicing tho utilitarian art of pen-
maudhip along tho ruled lines of com
niercial noto, or studying mathematical
problems that may prove of some ad
vantage in after years." Wo trust tho
board of education will carefully con
sider Mr. Hixby 's article in Friday's
Journal. Our school system needs a
rigid overhauling, and it needs it i iglit
away.
Few men havo been so thoroughly and
artistically "roasted" by tho Omaha Ike
as tho Honorable Church Howe when a
few yeais ago ho struggled under tlio
hallucination that he was i tinning for
congresfl.
Some people who remember the tieat
ment itdinliiistcied to Howe by Hose
water on that occasion may icgard witlt
some sin prise tho tacit defense of tho
editor ot tho Bee mado by Mr. llowo ut
was either written for tlio liee by
Church Howe himself, oi prepared
jointly by Howe ami Rosow liter, tlio one
furnishing tlio iufoiiiiation, and the
other vviitiug the story. We ate, per
haps, uiidcistntiug it when wo say that
theio is a stiong suspicion that Church
llowo furnished the repoit. We should
say that it is almost absolutely certain,
titero existing a niimbei of known facts
to cotroborate such a theory. Howe
likes better than anything else to be
cute, and he petfuimed this tiick in the
conviction that it was a marvel of
strategy. In representing to Uosowater,
and through tho Ike to tho lfosowatoi
adherents, that he opposed the move
ment to ask for Kosewatei's icsignation,
ho imagined that he was gaining the
co-operation of the pilot and his sup
porters; but thete aio those who me
emphatic in tlio opinion that tho
shrewd politician from Nemaha has in
tlio present instance oveneached him
self. It is a fact that Hosewater is not all
powerful in this congicbsioual district,
and theio ate ceitaiu influential lepttb
licans in Lancaster, Pawnee, Richard
son, Nemaha, Cass, Otoe and Johnson
counties whose opposition to Mr. Hose
water is of a most violent type, and
thoy will have none of a candidate who
lias, in their opinion, truckled to the
Ike editor. Some of these gentlemen
have already expiessed themselves
regaiding Howe's attitude in a maiiuei
that leaves no boubt that his candidacy
is likely to tun against some very haul
rocks prior to and at the congressional
convention. So it seams that in at
tempting to placate Rosow ntor, Mr.
Howe has stirred up the animals. One
shrewd politiciar in this city assures us
that Mr. Howe has, by his latest
strategic move not only moused the
deteimiued opposition of the anti-Robe
water men, but has failetl to accom
plish his pin pose with Hosewater.
"Rohowater," he said, "has his opinion
of those who truckle to him, ami not
withstanding Mr. Howe's very exten
sive salaams, Hosewater will not give
Howe any assistance in his campaign.
It would not surpiibo meat all if the
Ike weio to tight him openly."
Tho Howe coup d'etat is tho talk of
tho politicians, and theio aro few who be
liovo tho wily campaigner has gained
anything by deliberately betraying the
pioceedings of a private confeienco and
1 ublishing a gaibled and ovei-wiotight
account of the meeting.
It may be added that no definite
action was taken at the confeieuce
relative to the couiso to he pursued
with icgard to Hobewator, The feeling
was almost unanimously hostile, but
there was a decitled difference of
opinion as to the best way to manifest
tho same.
action of the Omaha bunks is distinctly
favorable to this city.
In soino respects Lincoln has not
made as rapid progioss tins year as
last. Building operations have been
restiicted, due to tho scat city of money,
and the general dopiossion has affected
the retail business more or less un
favorably. Hut in one diiection, and
wo aro not sure but it is the most im
portant diiection, Lincoln has made a
distinct advance in tlio past twelve
months. We refer to the manufactur
ing and wholesale interests. Till.
Coruii.it, in puisuauce of its puipose of
repiesenting to tho public, from time to
time, intoicstiug phases of tho local
business field, has been at some elfoit
to obtain accurate and icasonably
thoioiigh infoi ination touching these
two blanches of commeicial activity
what tho concerns aheady established
have accomplished dining lbD.'l, what
now entorpiihos have been secured and
what development theio has been in
the way of the addition of manufactur
ing or jobbing branches to (lilfciout
kinds of established retail business, to
gether with tlio plans and outlook for
the future in this field
And Lincoln may well be proud of
tho showing we aio aide to make.
Growth in manufacturing and jobbing
lias been gradual, and it has been ae
enmpauied by no sensational features.
Consequently it has been, to some e
tent, unnoticed. Hut though unnoticed
it has been, all things, including haul
times, consideied icmarkable. And the
giow th has come in such a way in a
perfectly natural maiiuei. that it may
he regarded as e. tirely stable and an in
dication of much mote rapid develop
ment in the near futiite, when Lincoln's
advantages as a manufacturing point
and a center for the distribution of sup

and appreciated.
theie aio many other things thai are
drawing the attention of outside
opeiatoiti to this city favoiablo tail

banking capital and a disposition to
tender any legitimate enterptlse all
possible aid. And it is 'he opinion of
caieful business men In this city that

foundation of Nebraska's nnilvalled
agricultural piosperity, will hi a bilef
