ThnoA who ilnnhtad the result in
the case of the anarchists at Chicago
will doubt no more. The miscreants
have had a fair trial, been convicted,
and they will doubtless be executed.
Mercy will not likely step in now to
I relieve those who would have shown
no mercy to innocent victims.
gBack of the trial,there are several c on
siderations not to be lost sight of, and
the expense of the trial (all told, esti
mated at $300,000.) may be sufficiently
attractive, in a way, to deepen with
Chicago tax-payers the impression
that crime is exceedingly expensive.
It is always more or less difficult
to apprehend the natural course cf
events, or the consequence of an act,
but where officials, Bworn to tako
care that the laws be executed, are
derelict in their duty, thinking to
curry favor with lawless men ; profit
ing, as they think, politically or fi
nancially, by a pretense -of enforciug
the law ; in other words, when the
mayor of a city belongs to the "bum
mer" element and is controlled by it,
there is no telling where lawlessness
may end and the enforcement of law
begin. It is not only our opinion but
a general belief that if the mayor ot
Chicago hffd done bis duty or even
measurably attempted it, much if not
all the expense of this trial would
have been saved, as the occasion for
it would not have arisen.
Right principles are the foundation
of all the good there is in civil com
munities, and the comprehension of
these principles, in some good form
or other, is necessary to peace and
prosperity; education is far more
effective and greatly less expensive
in remedying all the evils we have,
than any other method known, and
this is essentially the American idt-a.
The gospel of dynamite will not
have many disciples here.
Tsm Wyck's Caalleaeje.
The statute for whose enforcement
Senator Van Wyck appeals permits
the voters of Nebraska to indicate
their preference tor United States
Senator and makes the canvass and
return to such votes mandatory npon
all election officers. Its aim is to
leave representatives no shadow of
an excuse for overruling tho wishes
of their constituents. Its intent is to
make the popular choice the lesisla
tive choice for Senator. Its object is
to do away forever with the system
which permits corrupt bargaining at
Lincoln to set aside the honest pre
ference of electors freely expressed
at the polls.
Every trickster who has made a
trade of corrupting our legislators,
every monopoly tool whose hand has
been busied in distributing bribes
at legislative sessions, every corpo
ration hireling editor whose efforts
have been directed to pulling the
wool over the eyes of voters and
misrepresenting public sentiment,
naturally shrieks with alarm over a
proposal which will effectually de
stroy their occupation. It is "non
sensical," "utterly impotent," "worth
less," and "under no circumstances
would the railroad republican can
didates for senator consent to have
their name used in connection with
so ludicrous a proceeding."
The public will look at the matter
differently. They will applaud the
the manliness of a candidate who
prefers to leave to the people the de
cision of his claims to the office
rather than to follow the devious
paths of the legislative still hunt.
They will approve the moral bravery
which incites the champion to throw
down his gauntlet in the political
arena and challenge bis competitors
to the gage of battle in the full nun
light of publicity. Omaha Bee.
tics and Fa
Our correspondent, "J. L "
gives a bank statement as to divi
dends and then makes an appeal to
farmers to know if they make one
twelfth as much, &c.
The probability is that this par
ticular case is an exception with this
bank and doubtless an exception to
banks generally.
We know that in these hard timeB,
most people talk of the banks and
saloons as doing the best business
and making the most money not
that the two businesses are alliod in
any respect, but because certain peo
ple must have money, and certain
people will have the other articles of
merchandise.
The Journal is not the owner of
a bank nor the possessor of any
stock In one, and has no inside in
formation in regard to the n, but we
know, of course, that the same
general principles apply to them as
to any other business. They are not
outside the pale of commercial in
fluence, or independent of the re
mainder of the universe, In the very
nature of things, they have their as
signed limitations'; the functions of
their existence are fixed ; their dnties
and responsibilities are not unknown
to the rest of the world, and they
take their risks in business the same
as other business men.
At present we have no further
space to write, but' we will add that
if our friend Jno. L will tell us
what he knows about the profits of
banking, we will try to tell what we
know about farming.

A telegram from Berlin, Aug. 22
announced that Prince Alexander of
Bulgana had been deposed and made
prisoner during an inspection of
troops at Widden.
The daily News of London (Glad-
stonian) concludes that the effect of
Russia's action upon the peace of
Europe may be extremely serious,
and that Prince Alexander, being
nominally a vassal to the sultan, if
his depositipn can be proved to have
been effected by a foreign agency
without the consent of the porte, a
grave international issue will at once
be raised.
The Chronicle: "Bat that the peace
has been increasingly and gravely
inpaired by this insolent defiance of
Europe by Alexander III must be
apparent to the most careless observ-

An EI Paso special of a recent,
date received at Denver says Cutting
was taken from his prison the other
day before Judge Castaneda'a court.
He was informed that no appeal had
been taken in his case by the lawyer
who had been appointed by him and
he would be tried by the supreme
court of the state of Chihuahua in a
few days, and he was asked if he de
sired to have an attorney to take
care of his interests before that court.
lie replied, as he had always done
before, that he did not recognize the
jurisdiction of any Chihuahua court,
and that he left his case entirely in
the hands of the American govern
ment. He was thereupon taken
back to prison.
A fiendsh attempt was made to
kill J. F. Tufts, of Atchison, Kan.,
who has recently been assisting the
attorney general in prosecuting the
violatrs of the prohibitory law, by
exploding a can of powder at his
residence, endangering the lives of
his family. It appears that the per
sons handling the infernal machine
attempted to place it inside the
bouse, but becoming frightened
probably, they set it on the back
porch, lighted the fuse and fled.
There were two windows and a door
opening on the porch, and the force of
the explosion blew in the door and
windows, shattered the floor, and
lifted a portion of the roof. Six
lives were placed in jeopardy.
THEjuryintbe anarchists case re
turned a verdict of guilty of murder
against August Spies, Michael
Schawb, Samuel Fielden, Albert P.
Parsons, Adolph Gischer, George
Engle and Louis Liugg, guilty of
murder as charged in the indictment
and affixed the penalty of death.
"We find Oscar W. Neebe guilty of
murder in the manner and form as
charged in the indictment and affix
the penalty at imprisonment in the
penitentiary at fifteen years." The
verdict appears to give general sat
isfaction to the public as beiug in
strict conformity to justice.
Acting Secretary Fairchild some
time ago instructed Mr. Crites, chief
of the division of abandoned
property, to carry into effect the pro
visions of the act of congress au
thorizing the secretary of the treasury
to deliver to the rightful owners
certain articles of jewelry, etc., cap
tured by the United States army
during the civil war and deposited in
the treasury department. Crites has
accordingly prepared rules and reg
ulations which will govern the re
storation of all such articles and has
just concluded the examination of the
articles on deposit.
The following from the Leigh
Advocate, is equally applicable to
all the old towns we know of in
Nebraska:
Every inhabitable room in Leigh
is occupied or rented for coming oc
cupancy, and to rent a house in this
city now is next to an impossibility.
More houses are needed, and capi
talists who will put up a reasonable
number of neat residences for rent
will confer a public benefit, give the
city a substantial boom and at the
same time make a profitable invest
ment. Who will be the lucky phi
lanthropist? Gen. Joseph E. Johnson, United
States railroad commissioner, left
Saturday morning of last week on a
tour of inspection that would take
him over the Union and Central
Pacific roads. During the day, and
just before his train reached North
Platte, he suffered a severe attack of
prostration, produced by the extreme
heat. His journey to San Francisco
has been abandoned, and he will re
turn home at once. He changed his
course at Denver and went down the
K. & P. branch to Kansas City.
The IriBh Times, conservative
states that it is reliably informed that
Lord Randolph Churchill is engaged
in drafting a bill intended to, solve
the Irish problem. The full text of
the bill, the paper says, will not be
completed before next February;
but, adds the paper, so far as it has
gone, it has been submitted to the
Marquis of Salisbury, Marquis of
Hartington and others, and is broad
enough to satisfy all moderate
Irishmen.
Secretary Bayard has received a

A recent report comes from Wash
ington that the Chinese government
is increasing its armament with great
haste and has ordered 200,000 rifles
from England. It is interpreted to
mean that the Chinese government
proposes to take advantage of the
opportunity while the United States
is upon the verge of a crisis with
Mexico and force this government,
through the American interests in
China, to pay the Cninese govern
ment the $140,000 as proposed by the
last congress in reward for the dep

in the Rock Springs massacre in
Wyoming.
Ethrert Smithson, a young sao
of Bay City, Mich., about a week ago
had a finger bitten by a pet dog,
which died afterward exhibiting un
mistakable signs of hydrophobia. No
particular attention was paid to the
wound, but after retiring to bed the
other night the boy soon awakened
the family with his barking and
howling. Physicians wero summon

chloroformed. The boy has been
removed to the county jail ami is
manacled to his bed.
Tub Freeman's Journal, comment
ing on the government's Irish policy
as indicated by Salisbury in the
house of lords the other evening
says : "The government's IriBh poli

reason why they should not be
forced from their present drivelliug
attitude of procrastination. The
Irish party listened to Churchill the
other night with disgust and indig

he remained in his room and refused

Mr. Editor: I notice in your
last issue a letter from Mrs. Martha
Barrow. It appears that she is
very anxious tht the people of
Columbus should be informed of
the state of affairs existing in Utah.
But the informatien she' gives us is
only from her standpoint and one
would naturally suppose we were
ignorant of tho state of society ex-1
lsung mere, one complains bitterly
of the U. 8. oakials, calls them des
pots, and charges them with having
either shanM ner decency about
them. This is frequently the cry of
thee who have-been accustomed to
violate the law of the laud wherever
it suited their purpose, until they are
brought before the proper tribunal
and justice begins to be meted out
to them. Then they begiu to cry
tyranny and oppression, when the
truth Is they are oaly being brought
to an account for their evil deeds.
What the people of that territory
want to Ienrn is that the the U. 6.,
like other nations, is governed by
laws, aad those laws are .universal
throughout, the land.
Utah being the only exception
where the government has allowed
the people to do pretty much as they
please for the last twenty-five or
thirty years, and they have trampled
all law under their feet, except what
their leaders saw fit to interpret as
law.
I do not believe there is a govern
ment under the sun, besdes the
United States, that would allow her
subjects to live in open rebellion
against their laws without bringing
them to justice. The baud of mercy
has been extended unto them for
years, but they have only taken ad
vantage of it. And now, when just
ice steps in and demands her right,
the transgressors begin to flee, aud
we bear the howl ot "tyranny and
despotism," and the officials are
charged with being btranger to
shame and decency.
Let them examine care In My their
own record while they hcM tho
power in their own Imndn and then
ask themselves the question where
their shame and decency was before
they charge them with similar crimes
aud offences. As to tlespotism.the haud
of their leaders ha been laid heavi
ly upon those who would uot tamely
submit to (hair tyrannical mandates;
their proverty has been destroyed or
taken from them by force; many
lives have been sacrificed, while
others have bad to flee for their
lives because they had the manliness
to contend for their rights, and of
this latter class bones of many lay
bleaching ou the plains today.
She says, "I enjoy my religion
it is more than life, my hope, my
heaven, my all." If what 1 have
written above, can be called religion
I shall continue in the future as I
have in the past to pray to God to
deliver me from such blasphemy.
What I want is the pure, unadulter
ated religion of Jesus Christ ; noth
ing more or less than this can save
the human family. Give me this,
and the polygamist, the murderer,
the anarchist, the thief and the
robber may all have their so-called
religion. What I want is, not my
own, but that of Christ.
Yours truly.
