The ordnance or military department
bns been in readiness for monthB but the
infantry have not yet been fully supplied
with the improved Vetterli rifle of nine
millimeters. The transformation of the
guns of the eleven millimeter type into
the standard is going on as rapidly as
possible, however, and it is expected
that the active army, if not the reserve
also, will be equipped with the improved
arm within a month or six weeks. The
reserve has been increased under the
law recently passed by the federal
chambers until it now numbers nearly
100,000 men. They will not be called
upon for service until hostilities actually
begin if they begin at all but as each
man is required to keep his uniform and
equipments at his place of domicile, the
rapidity of mobilization will be almost
equal to that obtainable if they were
regularly cantoned. The Swiss reserve
will probably be of more value than that
of other countries, owing to the fact
that almost every member of it is also a
member of one or other of the 3,000
sharp shooters' clubs of ' Switzerland,
which embrace a totul membership of
nearly 12.r,000 men.
Home Patronage.
Referring to a recent comment by the
editor on the duty of citizens to patron
ize home industries, a gentleman who
has been a resident of Omaha twenty
years, and is engaged in the manufacture
of an article which enters into every day
family consumption, said: "My goods
are as good and cheaper than any
brought here from other citieu. If I
could have one fourth the trade of this
city I could give employment to nfty
men and as many women and children.
But merchants will Bhip from Chicago
and the east, and not only send money
away, but actually pay more for the ar
ticle. Can you tell me why they do it?"
The only explanation is that "distance
lends enchantment," and men are re
gardless of their own interests. Take
this one case. Home patronage would
give employment to the heads of fifty
families; add $40,000 to the retail trade
of the city, and keep several times that
sum of money in the city which is now
sent abroad.
If the board of trade would organize
a bureau of home industries, whose mis
sion Bhonld be to induce merchants to
buy their supplies aa far as possible
from manufacturers in the city, it would
do a wonderful amount of good. It is
useless to ask practical men to invest
capital in a community that hasn't
enough regard for self-interest to pat
ronize home institutions when they have
an opportunity to do so without loss.
There are business men in Omaha who
send away for more material with which
to fit up their homes and establishments
when every article could be had in the
city at less cost; and these unpatriotic
citizens themselves expect to be sustain
ed by home trade.
Tf the business men of this city the
jobbers and retailers in all lines would
adopt the policy of buying their sup
plies from home manufacturers, the cap
ital invested and persons employed in
the industries would be more than
doubled in twelve months. Omaha

The supreme court of the United
States at Washington decided last week
three important cases. The court de
cides that Bell's patent as the inventor
of the speaking telephone is no fraud
but genuine, and affirms it. The court
also Rendered a decision in the case of
Bowman Bros. vs. The Chicago & North
western Railroad Co., which involves
the validity of the statute of Iowa for
bidding a railroad company to bring
intoxicating liquors into the state, etc.
The court holds that the power to regu
late or forbid the sale of a commodity
after it has leen brought into a state,
does not include the right aud iower to
prevent its introduction by transporta
tion from another state. The court also
rendered a decision in the case of the
Western Union Telegraph Co. vs. The
Attorney General of Massachusetts.
This was a suit to enforce the collection
of a tax levied by the authorities of the
state upon the telegraph company, and
for the purpose of enjoining that compa
ny from operating within the limits of
that state until the tax had leen paid.
The court held the tax against th com
pany valid and affirmed the judgment of
the court below for taxes amounting to
SI 0,618 to be paid by the company with
interest, to the state.
A report came from Calhoun, Ga., the
other day of a terrible storm or cyclone
that swept through Georgia and passed
over east Tennessee, carrying devasta
tion in its path. The residence of J.
Williams, three miles east of Lenoirs,
was completely swept away, and his
wife carried off in the wreck and killed.
The storm then crossed the timber and
tore up every tree by tne roots in its
track. The house of James Linginfalter
was reduced to kindling wood. In it
were John R. Smith, who was killed, and
a little daughter of Linginfalter, who
had a leg broken. Wm. King and John
Gideon's dwellings were blown down.
Several members of the King family
were badly injured, and two of the
Gideon family were so seriously injured
they cannot recover. The terrible cloud
in which the storm was enclosed appear
ed to be in a funnel-shape, which cut a
swath seventy-five yards wide through
the middle of the town, taking the court
house. Every building in its path was
damaged or destroyed. Several others
were wounded and killed.
It is stated in a Times special from
Chichuhua of recent date that a party
of Mexican troops and Southern Pacific
railway officials overtook the Stein's pass
train robbers, Larry Sheehan, Dick
Johnson and Dick Hart the other night.
The robbers barricaded themselves in a
house, compelling the family to remain
with them, and stood the attacking party
off for several hours, when the beseigers
succeeded in getting the family out and
set fire to the house. The robbers then
came out and fought. All three were
killed and the attacking party lost one
man.
Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite, of

on account of her health. She has been
a partial invalid for many years and has

In connection with our ticket, I would
say that we once more give the citizens
of Columbus a chance to vote a ticket
composed of men who are unflinchingly
opposed to rum in any shape and there
fore in favor of protecting our homes
against the mi! influences created by
dram-selling institutions. Friends, if it
is true that fret rum is an evil, it is none
the 1c.mh an evil if we as a community
receive live hundred or a thousand dol
lars a year license from it. The cry that
high license will close up the worst dens
and make the trade more respectable is
not very good logic, for this reason:
that the 1mv who eventually lecomes a
drunkard, not once in a thousand times
begins in the low dens; lesides, high
license makes a monopoly of the trade,
and if it were against the interest of the
trade or should diminish consumption of
liquor the brewers and distillers would
not favor high license. Governments
are instituted among men for man's pro
tection, and if that theory is carried out
in its laws we should lind no license for
any evils. We have no right to license
the vices of our people. The plea that
it won't hurt j ou if yon let it alone, is
not worth talking over, as every day's
doings prove to the contrary. Now,
friends, voto for prohibition and you
vote for jour boys and girls, your wives
and mothers, and your country's best
interest. I believe that if every person
in Columbus who thinks that liquor
selling is wrong were to vote and work
against it we should have a better town.

Judge Gresham is charged with being
a free trader. While he wbb secretary of
the treasury under President Arthur he
made a speech in New York in which he
discussed the tariff, and in the course of
which he said:
In revising our tariff laws and reduc
ing customs revenues some interests
should not be neglected. Indeed, pro
tection to our own manufacturers and
laborers can and should be afforded by
taxing such imports as come into real
competition and admitting others free.
No one disputes that the republican
party is in favor of thus affording pro.
tection to our domestic industries. Reve
nue laws should be enacted with refer
ence to our local conditions and wants.
We should legislate in the interest of
our own people rather than in the in
terest of mankind at large.
That is good enough protection doc

(From imr reKiitar correionlent.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, refuses to
march to the administrative music. He
made a strong speech in the senate re
cently in favor of his resolution, offered
early in January, declaring it to be the
imperative duty of congress to repeal the
internal revenue laws at the earliest day
practicable. Ho ljelieves that dav has
arrived and that these laws should be
wiped from the statute look at once.
He believes that the money needed for
the sup)ort of tho government should
be raised by tariff, so adjusted as to give
American capital and labor all possible
incidental protection, and so that the
heaviest burdens shall 1m nut upon
luxuries.
He is opposed to tho government run
ning two tax systems, especially when
one of them is as obnoxious to the peo
ple as the internal revenue system is.
The senator's views are directly opiiosed
to those of Mr. Cleveland and the ma
jority of the democratic nartv. Mr.
Colquit, the junior senator from Georgia,
had on the Monday previous made a
speech fully indorsing the president's
tariff message, but senator Brown is in
the habit of making two internal revenue
speeches for every tariff reform speech
delivered by his colleague.
The senate has produced still another
aspirant for presidential honors; senator
Hale, of Maine, is the latest candidate
for a boom according to the gossips of
the capital.
The government printing office inves
tigation is dragging slowly along. The
most noticeable feature this week was
Benedict's admission that his republican
predecessor had always shown a disposi
tion to adopt new methods and machin
ery in mat- omce as last as tuey were
approved by the trade at large.
Here's a chance for the poor lobbyist
to make some money. A sub-committee
of the house committee on public lands
are preparing a bill to declare a forfeit
ure of all unearned railroad land grants.
Of course the railroads will fight this
bill and that means a good deal to the
seedy lobbyist.
The republican minority of the ways
and means committee are leaving no
stone unturned in their efforts to get a
hearing for tho industries affected by
the Mill's tariff bill, but bo far they have
been fought at every turn by the demo
crats both in the committee room and on
the floor of the house. However, their
efforts will place the responsibility for
refusing a hearing where it belongs.
The presidential outlook from a repub
lican standpoint remains unchanged.
No one candidate is going to the front
very fast, although senator Sherman is
said to be making rapid strides in tho
south. The same thing was said of Mr.
Sherman in 1880, however, and he was
not nominated, and unless he shall de
velop some strength elsewhere than in
the south and in Ohio it is thought he
is not likely to fare any better this vear.
One result of his present prominence is
that he is being made the target for
democratic attack in and out of congress,
all of which is not to his discredit. John
Sherman may never be president but he
will live in history as one of the greatest
statesmen that the republican party has
produced.

GeorgoIIodel, one of Bismark's re

sad news of his mother's death, a resi

the sympathy of his many friends in his
bereavement, and it is to be hoped that
no more such sad afflictions shall visit
him again for many a year.
L. H. Leavy closed another successful
