I Official City and County PaperT
Hs v There are a trifle over ten million
l acres of cultivable land in tho Oklahoma
HI country and about half a million pcr-
f sons ready to jump it. Tho man who
H | succeeds in capturing a quarter section
m will have enough material on hand to
HB stock a private cemetery.
B The patriotic little city of Creston ,
mm la. , displayed flags the other day at half
Bg mast , and put on all the paraphernalia
of woo , because of a report which reach
ed there to the effect that ex-President
!
Cleveland had been assassinated by tho
_ _ colored porter of a Pullman car , be-
Kj tween JNew York and Philadelphia.

K TnE legal complications developed in
K ] the recent Chicago elections Alls the
I * democrats with consternation and the
K republicans with joy. Thore is no rea-
HMi son to doubt that the "ins" will utilize
mfr ; every known means to hold on to ofBce
m ] and reverse the verdict of the ballot
' : box. An officeholder's greatest delight
HI is in vindicating the law , whenever the
Hi law is on his side.
Wt One of the most beautiful boquets of
r roses sent to the home of the late Jus-
Bi tice Matthews , bore in purple immor-
l | ( telles across the front , the words : uSay
It not good-night , but in some brighter
Ifj : clime bid me good-morning. " No card
Mi was attached to it , and for a time the
B | r.- ' sender was unknown , but it has since
I been learned that it was the gift of the
ml President , whose affection for the dead
I jurist was of the warmest kind.
my Driven from Belgium pending his
Mi trial before the French senate for plot-
j ting against the republic , Boulanger
j * goes to England where he will be safe
B from arrest as long as he chooses to
stay. Little Belgium does not want
H any trouble with her bis ; neighbors. She
Hj is afraid that if the French government
H really wanted the redoubtable general ,
Hj it would send a couple of gen d'armes
H to Brussels to take him home , which
B would be unpleasant.
H The Australian voting system has be-
B come the law of Wisconsin. It virtu-
Bi ally makes the two great parties a po-
H ! litical thrust , and strangles every inde-
B pendent political movement. One clause
H of the law specifies that no party which
B receives less than two per cent , of the
Bj total vote at the last previous election
K shall be accorded representation on the
B official ticket. The effect of this will
K be to prevent any organized political
B action outside of the existing parties.
B Bee.
BE In direct contrast to the policy of re-
jl trenchment inaugurated upon the Iowa
H lines , the roads embraced in the Penn-
P sylvania system will make no reduction
| in the wages of their army of employes.
fy "Retrenchment , " says President Jttob-
erts , "if necessary , will begin at the
J top. " In other words , officials who en-
| * joy a salary of from ten to twenty thou-
t sand dollars a year should feel the cut
f ' first , rather than the thousands of men
\ \ in the operating departments whose
j earnings are now little enough.
The Des Moines river settlers have •
decided not to violence
wisely resort to i
to hold their homes. Resistance to the '
officers of the courts would not only 1
' force a bloody conflict , but would crip- ]
pie the efforts of friends to secure re-
I lief. The government has decided to 1
d | bring in proceedings to quiet title to l
\ \ * the lands , and establish the rights of 1
[ I settlers. Meanwhile the safest course ]
| | for the settlers to pursue , is to quietly i
II . submit to the decrees of the courts and j
1 ] ; trust in congress for compensation. •
I \ ' (
| ' 'J The Mormon brethren and sisters are '
I % • well watched. There are 81889 , Mor- '
ft p , mon families and to run them the church
m | T has of apostles , patriarchs , high priests , i
5 > priests , elders , teachers and deacons , a l
ir force of 31,571. Leaving out the 50 , - *
B § k , 000 children under eight years of age , j
M 9 the age at which they have to join the (
| R church , there is a church boss for every
I five members. So that about half the c
I | r males of the Mormon church of full age *
j * • are public church functionaries. It a
[ - takes a pile of officers to keep those r
I _ poor women under the yoke. A buck I
Mormon who isn't and elder or a high s
S ' priest is pretty small potatoes indeed.t
The New York banks anticipated s
the opening of earlier spring trade this
'J year than usual by laying in a large *
F cash reserve , which it was expected *
1/ "would be in active demand by the first "
: | of April , an important turning point in c
1 - the business year. The result was , that ti
1 jd although there was the greatest activity I
1 of money demands on that date for the T
1 - * first half of the current year , the bank "f
j reserves fell to a smaller limit than for c "
years and the rate of interest did not ti
advance. No stringency in the money v
market is looked for during the rest of r (
the season , for the first of the current c
month shows that the amount of out-
j standing currency is larger by thirty-
\ seven millions than a year ago.
I
* Candidates for the vacancy on the j
" supreme bench are increasing rapidly.
, By common consent Judge Gresham f
heads the list , but President Harrison n
lias given no intimation of his choice , f ,
and the public is likely to be surprised
by the selection of an unknown. Ohio
0
I claims the position because the late n
Stanley Mathews was a resident of the
v
'state , and J. Warren Keifer , ex-speak-
es of the house of representatives , is q
being pressed for the appointment. Hon. a
J. A. J. Creswell , of Maryland , is also e
in the field. But the present vacancy
will not be the only one during the ad- -
ministration df President Harrison. It
is generally believed that Justices Mil
! ler , Field and Bradley will soon retire.T
They have each reached the age of sev-
\ , r • enty years , and under the law , can volJJ
* f' " * untanly retire on full pay ten thousri
IT * and dollars a year. These facts must tl
fr < • encourage candidates to urge their * j
' - ? ' claims. By becoming prominent in the oi
ft P present contest they are not like to be J
fj.V * overlooked in the future ,

THE BIEGHLER ACQUITTAL
[ From tbo Omaha Coo. ]
It vrns a scntlmuntnl verdict largoly'duo to
hyaterice , tours , sobs , mid tbo mcsmerioinflU'
onoo of tin nudlonco of tbo gentler sex tbat
overpowered ovcry Juryman and robbed him
of bis sober senses.
Tho prosecution was rather weak , not so
much In its elocution as In tbo handling of tho
testimony.
Tho murder of King was admitted. King
was a very bud nan morally , but tho law does
not justify killing except In Bclf-defenso or by
accident.
Mary Harris , tho Washington treasury clerk
who shot her seducer , was acquitted on tho
ground of emotional Insanity. As a mattor.of
fact sbo was allowed to go frco because she
bad been ruined by the man sho.murdered.
Thore was no proof that Miss Biocbler had
been tho victim of seduction by King. If she
shot King while emotionally Insane , thoro was
too much method in her madness. Grant that
sho had been wronged by a very bad man , tho
right to tako his llfo cannot be Justified under
pretenso of law.
m
Madolaine Sturlatta shot and killed hor par
amour , Stiles , In tho corridor of tho Palmer
Housoin Chicago , four years sgo. Tho circum
stances leading up to tho killing were almost
identical with the tragedy that took place at
tho Paxton houso , last November. Stiles was
a leading member of tho Chicago board of
trade. Tho most eminent Chicago lawyers de
fended tho Sturlatta woman , who was one of
tho handsomest girls in that city. Tho Jury
in that case returned a vordlct of manslaugh
ter , and Sturlatta was sent to Jolletfor a term
of years.
Very few cases can bo cited where a woman
of her character has been acquitted under like
circumstances. Public sympathy bos doubtless
been with Miss Bicchlor , but the law has not
been vindicated. *
"I am a republican , " said Mr. Wanamaker In
a little speech the other evening " ! am a re
publican insido and outside , from January to
December , at Washington and in Philadel
phia. " That is about as straight as we see it
in politics now-a-days. And tho best loyalty
to tho party , will bo found in the best public
servlco. _ _ „ . _
DoniNQtho three months from January 1 ,
1889 , C91 new corporations or largo firms com
menced business in the southern states , manu
facturing claiming the large proportion of the
money invested. Tbo republican victory in
November was a good thing for tho southern
states and before another four years they will
show their appreciation of that fact.
Mu. Cleveland has had an ollico thrust up
on him in Now York City which will keep the
wolf from the door. He Is ono of tho inspec
tors of the Brooklyn bridge , and will get ten
dollars a day for tho time he manages to put
'
In inspecting tho bridge . This is S127 less per
day than ho has been drawing , Sundays and
all , during the past four years , but still it Is
better than no salary.
James G. Blaine will not manage Mr. Har
rison's administration. He never contem
plated such a thing. Ho has no desires beyond
tho department of state. His course in regard
to tho ocean boundaries of our Alaska posses
sions , and bis proposed Zollvcrein union of
the North and South American states , indicate
that ho will And enough to occupy the atten
tion of the broadest and wisest statesmanship.
Rhode Island is still holding elections dail-
ly in those districts that failed to elect repre
sentatives to tho two houses of the legislature.
Tho account stood , at the close of the ballot
ing on Monday , fifty-two republicans to forty-
seven democrats on joint ballot , with seven
members of tno houso and two senators still
to elect. The democrats must elect all the
seven to get a majority. Tho republicans
with two more will prevail in the joint con
vention. If the democrats elect six and the
republicans one it will be a tie.
The Presbytery of Rochester , N. Y. , has had
under consideration for the past few days the
cases of three deacons , who were ordained by
the First Presbyterian church of Rochester
some weeks ago , although at tho time they
uxpresie 'd'disbelief in the doctrines of foreor-
iination and eternal punishment. After ma
ture deliberation the act of ordination was
sustained by the Presbytery. This may not
seem a very liberal proceeding for the nine-
; eenth century , but all the same it would not
iave occurred twenty-five years ago.
The Oklahoma boomers who have managed
; o get into the territory in spite of the soldiers
tnd the law and are hiding in tho brush until
he 21st of April , when ? he president's procla-
nation opening the country to settlers takes
'ffect , are said to have a scheme fixed up to
> ar out those who have not yet managed to
ret a lodgement on the ground. It is to burn
ill the bridges on the Sante Fe lino leading to
) klanoma on the night before the opening , so
hat the new settlers cannot get in until the
joomers have perfected their entries.
European nations keep large standing ar-
nies , and each nation justifies its armament
> y saying : "Tho other fellows go armed and
0 must we , lest we be taken at a disadvan-
ago. " Something like the same policy is be
ne pursued in the waters of Samoa , batween
lermany and the United States. Tho United
itates maintains war vessels there because
iermany does , and vice versa. How much
lore sensible and dignified it would be if the
wo nations would quit menacing each other
nd call their war ships home. Perhaps this
easonable adjustment may be reached by tho ;
terlin Conference. It is infinitely better to
ettle national troubles with brains than with
ullets and cannon balls. One method repres
ents reason and civilization , and the other
tands for force and barbarism.
The determination of tho authorities to en-
sree the new law taxing sleeping cars used
nd operated in this state is certain to result
1 a prolonged contest in the courts. The Pull-
ian company manaees by appealing to the
surte to escape taxation in various states , on
le absurd plea that all its property is taxed in
llinois. As a matter of fact two-thirds of tho
ullman cars are never listed for taxation. 1
he new law requires the railroad companies
) report to tho auditor the number of such
irs In use for the purpose of taxation , and
le officers should see to it that this just pro-
tsion is promptly complied with. Thore Is no
jason why a wealthy corporation should se-
ure immunity from taxation. It shares alike
ith other property tho protection of the state
nd municipal governments , and should be
ampelled to pay its share of the cost.
Another bank cashier , hailing from
Iinncsota this time , has absconded
dth $100,000 of deposits and trust
ands. The details of the crime are
ot important. The one significant
ict is that the cashier will find a safe
arbor of refuge , along with hundreds
f other defaulters and boodlers , in the .
eighboring province of Canada. The
aunted English respect for honesty
nd fair play is not sustained by the
'anadian ' willingness to become a pen-
l colony for the United States when-
eer the voluntary exiles bring their
boodle" with them.
