For the Journal.
Kuiidom Thought.
Eo. Journal: -It is a self-evident
proposition that whatever is right is
expedient, but whatever is expe
dient may not always be right, de
pendant upon the moral standpoint
lrotn which we view the question ;
and if a thing be essentially wrong,
no amount ot legislation short of its
total abolition can ever change iis
nature. And if the "Woe be to him
that iriveth his neighbor drink, that
putteth bib bottle to him aud maketh
him drunken," will it not equally
lie against those who for a consider
ation confer upon him the exclusive
right to so hand forth. If, there
fore, indiscriminate liquor selling is
a benelit to any community, why
not let every one enjoy the pecun
iary advantage from its sale, but it
on the other hand it is an evil of the
deepest dye, which most will admit,
then nothing short of "ceasing lo do
evil" will be elfectual for its cure;
but here we are met by the assertion
"prohibition will not prohibit," to
which I reply that for all practical
purposes it will be effectual with
law abiding citizens; tho iaw break
er must abide the penalty ; it is a
tact known lo all lawyers that our
criminal legislation is prohibitory
iu iis character, yet because this
fails to prevent entirely the com
mission of crime, they would hardly
risk their reputations by advocating
a repeal of such laws; then why
make this question au exception to
every other question of law and
practice, and echo answers
Why?
I. S. Olive and rislieruro Ouce
More ut I.iberiy.
The appearance or I. P. Olive and
Kisher, the two meu sentenced
to the penitentiary for life nearly
ono year ago for the murder of
Kelohuiu and Mitchell in the west
ern pari of our stale, attracted con
siderable attention ou our streets
yesterday.
The supreme court at its recent
silting rallied the men a now trial,
and remanded them back to the
sheriff of Cusler county for safo
keeping. Yesterday the brother of
Olive aud Sheriff O'Brien ot that
county arrived in the city, and at
once proceeded to the penitentiary,
where they received and brought
into the city the man whose name
has become as familiar to tho people
of this country as household words.
Olive, as he appeared at the Com
mercial hotel yesterday afternoon,
looked like a well-to-do farmer. He
was very pale on account of his close
confinement, but olhet wise appeared
in good health. He was dressed in
a neat, well-lilting and becoming
biihiuess suit, but after wearing the
stripes so long, Ihey seemed to rest
heavily upon him. From lime lo
time he would shrug his shoulders
and twist his body as much as to
say these clothes arc not natural.
lie kept close to the hotel during the
alleruoou and avoided as much as
possible the gnzc of the public.
He will leave to-day for his home
at Plum Creek, and we understand,
will demand a trial at once

The New :nItl
It has become evident that Ihe
new Capitol building will not be
ready for the legislature to occupy
this winter, which will be likely to
produce, some dissatisfaction. It
may, howover, produce some sat
isfaction in other quarters, in lliat it
will decrease Ihe probabilities of
another capitol appropriation this
winter. We are not very well pos
ted as lo the causo of the delay in
completing the building. We sup
pose the delay caused by the cir
cumlocution office, in getting the
contract let, etc., had something to
do with it. We presume, also, that
the very substantial manner iu which
the structure has been built has also
had something to do with it. Other
causes, perhaps, have added force
to these particularly the recent
cold weather. But, whatever the
cause, Ihe fact is apparent enough,
and all that is left is to mai.e the
besf of it. We have never shared
in an apprehension as to the safety
of the. building. Ar an expert arch
itect said, two years ago, "ten steam
engines could not pull it down."
For the present, too, it will ac
commodate Ihe legislature not so
well as might be desired, but so that
only a limited inconvenience will
be experienced. ITaslinijs Nebras

A mn fire occurred at Buffalo,
N. Y., on the 17th inst. The fire
was first discovered in the third
story of a live-story building owned
by Geo. W. Teft. Severil other
valuable buildings were destroyed,
one of which contained .f 2.r)0 000
worth of grain, the property of John
B. Manning The entire loss is es
timated at $000,000. No way of
escape from the first building was
provided, and at least thirty human
beings were roasted to death. It
was a sad sight to witness the pa
reuts and friends of the dead and
missingones surround tho ruins. It
is probable that the list of those
known to have lost their lives will
be more than doubled whan the
smoking ruins cau be removed.
On the night of the lGth iusl, at

dents present who shouted and
hooted al I hem aud the police fired
off a pislol and made an arrest which
was the beginning of what ended in
a big row. Throwing of bricks, rot
ton eggs and other things followed
aud several of the police were in
jured. Ten of the medical students
were arreeted, and ten of the po
licemen sent to the hospital.

accompanied by two young men
walked into tho Shorman llouso at
Chicago, whero they left the old

In a short time, the old man was
dead. There was evidence that he
died of heart disease or apoplexy.
Papers found on his person showed
that his name was A. McDonald,
