Judge Savage of Omaha, while going
east to attend the annual meeting of the
Union Pacific directors at Boston, was
put under arrest at Chicago by a detec

the short time that he was in the care of
the officer, all the bad things of his life
came up in rapid review, and the Judge,

The southern politician is still, as he
has always been, a curiously inconsist

His latest is an attempt to make a white
man1 faction within the republican
party, and has actually had the cheek to
call on President Harrison to stand with
him in this new movement against the
colored man. A republican president
would look very unique in joining an
organised effort to wipe the colored man
oat as an influenoe in southern politics.
The republican party has for years
charged this particular crime on the
democrats. Harrison was elected partly
for the purpose of securing the black

ly grotesque for him now to plaoethe
power of t! administration, back of an

The annals of the world are hardened
with crimes that saen have committed
agaiast their fellow creatures. Mankind
are not suakiently strong or generous to
trust with the liberties, the properties or
the lives of others. Irresponsible power
is certain, soon or later, to be abased,
and nothing is more certain than that
"eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
For keeping this vigilance, the press
is entitled, to no small credit. It is the
one great power of modern times nearest
the absolute, unqualified interests of the
people who think and who formulate
events, and so long as the press is sus
tained by a liberty-loving people, the
general welfare is safe from the machina
tions of those who would subvert popu
lar government.
Another of the many thousands of
illustrations of the power of the press
was seen last week at Chicago.
Charles W. Beck was detailed by the
Times of that city to act the role of an
insane pauper, and in this guise he was
sent to Jefferson. Robert Burns was
sent out at the same time and occupied
a bed in the same ward with Beck. The
account says:
"Burns was a quiet, inoffensive pa
tient. His mind was very confused, and
he could not readily understand words
of command, but at the slightest delay
in obeying orders he was brutally beaten
and lacked by Attendants Croghan, Pe
cho and Richardson, as well as by con
valescent patients who assisted the
attendants in the performance of their
duties. The brutal treatment was kept
up for several days, and the next Beck
heard of .Burns was the news that the
patient was dead.
At the postmortem examination it was
found that the body was in a horrible
condition. On the abdomen was a great
bruise, black, blue and yellow. This had
been covered with court plaster to con
ceal it. The breast bone was broken as
if it had. been hit with a hammer, and
the twelfth rib had been fractured. In
the flesh was the most of a man's boot
heeL
The grand jury found true bills, charg
ing Crogan, Richardson and Peche, at
tendants at the asylum, with murder.
The jury has not yet finished with the
case. Hearing of other witnesses will
be begun tomorrow, and the undertaker
who conducted the funeral has been
summoned to appear with the death cer
tificate issued by the superintendent of
the asylum, Dr. Kiernan. This certifi
cate alleges that Burns came to his
death from the effects of melancholia,
exhaustion and phthisic, and it is
thought will connect Dr. Kiernan with
the case, at least to the extent of prov
ing almost criminal negligence and care
lessness in issuing a certificate of death
without looking into the real causes."
The newspapers of the great cities are
coming to be recognized as public bene
factors, not alone in the correction of
abuses, but also in so informing the
public mind that it will keep 'bright,
active and aggressive against all manner
of evil.
State ExpeHditsmi.
Auditor Benton has prepared a state
ment of the appropriations of the last
legislature. No wonder the better mem
bers of the legislature were so persist
ent in their opposition to the boodlers.
Could they have been more successful
than they were in lopping off jobs, their
work would have suited the people bet
ter. The total amount of appropriations
was $289,32a88. For new buildings
and repairs, $316,240. Of this 850,000 is
tor the home for fallen women at Mil
ford. This was the only new building
provided for. Two years ago the appro
priations for new buildings amounted
to $822,791.65. The appropriations for
salaries of members, officers and em
ployes of the legislature was $103,689.62.
For miscellaneous expenses of the legis
lature, $56,12530. The judiciary and
library receive $222,819.70. Executive
department8,$189,284; micellaneous,$68,
497.01; incidental, $1,393,488.14.
A Teniae Gale.
Warsaw, in the eastern part of North
Carolina, was struck by a terrific gale
Friday. Hail fell with such rapidity and
violence as to lie eight inches deep in
thirty-six seconds. Many small houses
were blown away almost bodily. Large
houses were torn up so they were not
habitable. A seminar" building was
split open and nearly destroyed. The
Presbyterian church was totally demol
ished. Fences were torn up and scat
tered like leaves. No loss of life is re
ported, but many people were seriously
hurt by falling timbers. Strawberries
are the principal article of early produc
tion here, and hundreds of acres are
ruined. Exclusive of the loss of these
crops the damage will exceed $12,000.
Banted Wit the Hease.
An accident by which the four chil
dren of Charles Williams whose ages
range from six to fifteen years were
burned to death, took place Thursday
night at Abington, MA, near Hatford
station, on the Baltimore & Ohio road.
The family consisting of husband and
wife and five children retired about 10
o'clock. An hour later the neighbors
saw the house burning and made in
effectual efforts to quench the flames.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams and the baby
escaped. They all received bunas, and
those received by the-baby will probably
result in death. The house burned to
the ground and consumed the children,
furniture and all.

It now seems more than probable that
David and George, the sons of the old

from the barn to the house. The step

bsh it, by reqaest, and as indicative of
the'apirit of trae patriotism which ani
mates the great Catholie .charch of
America:
To the Clam and Laitg of the Diocee
of Omaha:'
Dsab Bbethbex: On the 30th of this
month, the people, of this country will
celebrate the centennial of the inaugura
tion of the first president of the United
States. On that day, besides the civil
demonstrations in which they wfll take
part, and which, no doubt,wQl be worthy
of the great occasion, they will assemble
in their respective places of worship to
thank God for the loving providence
with which He has watched over us,
since we became a nation, and to invoke
His blessing on our institutions, in the
future. There is indeed much for which,
on that day, we should feel grateful to
the giver of all good. Whilst yet living
in weak and scattered colonies, He en
abled us to throw off the yoke that had
been intolerable. He gave a vast domain,
safe from foreign aggression and abound
ing in everything that goes to make a na
tion rich and powerful. He has sent us
from abroad millions of toilers to cut
highways through it, to clear its forests,
to break its. prairies, to open its mines,
build its factories, develop all its re
sources, and to swell its population to
the seventy millions that now dwell
here. He gave, and has preserved for
us, civil and religious liberty, one of the
beet gifts to man, and given it in a de
gree unknown in other times and in
other lands. He has enkindled in the
hearts of our citizens, whether native or
foreign born, a patriotism that makes
them ready for any and every sacrifice
to uphold our institutions and defend
the integrity of our territory. Once
only in our history, has domestic peace
been disturbed within our borders; but
the good results that followed the dis
order of that time, have fully compensat
ed for the evils that attended it. For
these and countless other blessings be
stowed on us, during a century of self
government, we should return heartfelt
thanks, on the great festival we are
about to celebrate.
And whilst doing so, let us not fail, to
pray that the favors vouchsafed to us in
the past, may be continued to those
who are to come after us.
We live in no apprehension of imme
diate danger to the republic, and yet
there are visible around us certain indi
cations of trouble to come, that cause
no little anxiety to thoughtful lovers of
their country.
The American home is, thank God,
still christian and pure, but family disci
pline has been greatly relaxed among us,
of late years. Few children are now
trained to habits of self-restraint or
obedience. The great majority of them
are allowed to come and go as they
please, to read all sorts of literature, to
associate with whom they please. This
is not the way to make the young be
come good christians, or good citizens,
or to prepare them for the great strug
gles they will have to make, or the
dangers they must encounter, in after
life.
An inordinate desire to gain is fast
taking possession of all classes of the
community. It is not yet the sordid
passion of the miser, but it will soon be
come such, if not restrained. It is turn
iu men's minds and affections from
higher and bettor things, to what minis
ters to mere sensual enjoyment. We all
know the power of money at our elec
tions, in our legislatures, in our munici
pal bodies, and, alas! even in our courts
of justice. Money, not votes, now elects
our public officials, from the highest to
the lowest. Without it, even just and
necessary legislation cannot be secured.
The desire of it is banding the rich to
gether to oppress the poor, and enkind
ling in the hearts of the poor, jealousy
and hatred of the rich. How is all this
to end? Badly, beyond doubt, unless
this quest of gain be kept within due
bounds. For, "many have been brought
to fall for gold, and the beauty thereof
has been their ruin." And, "they that
will become rich fall into snares of the
devil, and into many unprofitable and
hurtful t desires, which drown men in
destruction and perdition."
Our dangerous classes are on the in
crease. Our tramps alone now form an
army of evil-doers most dangerous to
the peace of the community in. times of
disturbance. There is another army,
which I shall not name, more numerous
than they, more intelligent, more influ
ential, which, if one half we hear of it be
true is the greatest apostolato of liber
tinism, ever seen in this, or any other
land. Our labor associations, though
not to be classed with such men as these,
may, at any time, under the inspiration
of demagogues, bring the trade and
business of the country into serious con
fusion, and thus open the way to still
greater evils.
We are a christian people. We live
under laws dictated by a christian civili
zation. In point of morality, we com
pare favorably with the people of an
other country. Yet unbelief is becom
ing prevalent among us. Pantheism, in
one form or another, agnosticism and
the shallow, vulgar infidelity of the
French Encyclopedists, are making no
ticeable inroads on all classes of the
community. Comparatively few, as yet,
antagonize Christianity, still fewer hate
it, but too many have lost faith in it.
Infidel literature has a circulation in
this country, only a little less than that
reached by works of fiction, and thous
ands of well-dressed, well-to-do people,
in all our cities, pay .their dollars, and
throng to hear shallow harlequin lec
tures against truths held sacred by their
fathers. A lady who moves in the most
fashionable circles, in one of our eastern
cities, told me lately, there was no young
lady, or young married lady, of her ac
quaintance who believed in Christianity.
One of the chief causes of this, and of
many other growing evils in this coun
try, is the neglect of religious training of
the young in our schools. Not receiving
it in the schools, very few of them will,
or can receive it elsewhere. The great
majority of parents are unable or unwil
ling to give it to them, and the Sunday
schools can do but little to supply for
their neglect in this matter. The con
sequence is that our children are grow
ing up without any knowledge of the
fundamental christian doctrines, and
without the! convections of virtuous
habits based on christian teaching. The
unsectarian morality which some people
suppose can be taught in the public
schools is an unthinkable abstraction.
It should ignore every revealed truth,
for there is no truth of revelation that is
not denied, or questioned by some sect,
or, at least, by Deists, Atheists or Jews,
all of whom nave a right to send their
children to the public schools. A tran
scendental morality of this sort would
have less effect in restraining the pas
sions than that of ancient or modern
paganism. It would exclude every mo
tive, every correct idea of duty in this
life, and would proclaim "gates ajar" for
all in the life to come. IT a belief in
chaistianity, and in the sanctions it
makes known to us, fails to keep the
great majority of men in the right way,
what would become of a people who had
lost all faith in both?
Material prosperity alone cannot make
a nation happy or great. It is often the
forerunner of its down-falL Sodom and
Gomorrha were " as a paradise of God,"
when fire and brimstone rained upon
them from heaven. No, "it is justice
that elevatoth a nation, and sin that
maketh a people miserable." "Unless
the Lord keep the city, they labor in
vain that keep it." God has often sent
famine and nestflence and the sword to
chastise and destroy nations that had
forsaken Him, and He wfll do so again.
"He that recedes from thee shall perish."
"Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden
with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious
children; they have forsaken the Lord,
they have blasphemed the Holy one of
Israel, they have gone away backward.
Tour land is desolate, your
cities are burnt with fire, your country

elements of decay anddisaohrtkwaieh,
u no ama in cneoa oy an over
ruling providence, would boob briag
it to atter ruin. And- who
can say that such toroesatay not bow be
at work even here ia the Uaited Staaai?
What has been, may be. If,foriastaao,
within our memory, seotioaal iateraato
and sectional prejaoaoar-wera able to
precipitate upon aa a rebellioa that
threatened to wrest from us the fairest
portion of our territory, why aught they
not be able to do the like again ia the
not distant fature? And if another re
bellion were to receive from European
powers the aid they had intended, but
delayed too long to give to that of the
southern states, would we have bo fear
for the result? United amongst our
selves we might, indeed, defy any com
bination foreign powers aught make
against us. But, if they come as allies
of a new South, or of New England, or
of the states on the Pacifio coast, against
the central government, could we feel
quite sure of our ability to hold any one
of these sections in the Union?
But a far more imminent danger than
this lies in our presidential and state
elections.
Our great political parties are now
pretty evenly balanced. Their majori
ties in the two last presidential elections
were very small. Neither party has con
fidence in the integrity of the other.
Charges of bribery and of fraud in elec
tion returns are made by both, not
without reason. In a presidential elec
tion, especially, party spirit and hope of
"the spoils" excite the feelings of the
masses to the highest point of tension.
Should the defeated party at such a
time, smarting under a sense of real or
supposed wrong, take the law into its
own hands and commit some overt act of
violence against the constituted author
ities, a civil strife would be likely to
ensue, compared with which the. late re
bellion would be an .affair of oolyrifiing
importance. " s -:
Nor is it beyond the range of "proba
bility that even a state or municipal
election should, under like circumstan
ces, lead to' the same lamentable results.
A struggle, local at first, by arousing
party prejudices and passions all over
the country, might easily become na
tional and thus drive the whole popula
tion to arms for mutual destruction.
I have thus, my dear, brethren, called
your attention to some of the dangers to
our institutions that appear on the sur
face of our society, not to diminish in
the slightest degree-the joy you will
naturally feel on the approaching Cen
tennial, but to emphasize the duty that
wfll then devolve on you. "To implore,"
in the words of the president, "the fa
vors of God that the blessings of liberty,
prosperity and peace may abide with us
as a people, and that his hand may lead
us in the paths of righteousness and
good deeds."
The prayer of an entire nation for such
an object cannot be unavailing. Let the
occasion, then, be one not of rejoicing
only, but of serious thought, and of
prayer as welL
On the morning of the Centennial, at
half past ten o'clock, Mass where pos

Omaha, April 11, 1889.
WashlagtoH Letter.
From oar regular correspondent.
Ex-Senator Mahone of Virginia, had
quite a lengthy private interview with
the president on Saturday afternoon, at
the White House, and the political
know-it-alls are at their wits end to learn
what passed between these gentlemen.
But it is a secret. Gen. Mahone refuses
to be interviewed, and the president is,
of course, out of the question. But all
the same you may be certain that a steno
graphic report of that conversation
would make what the late Horace Greely
was wont to call "mighty interesting
reading." "
Private Secretary Halford says that
Gen. Harrison is in as good health as he
has been for twenty years. Mr. Halford
is in a position to know about the presi
dent's health, and of course we must be
lieve what he says, and yet one has only
to stand in the White House door and
listen to the conversation of those who
have just shaken hands with the presi
dent to discover that nine out of every
ton of them believe him to be a sick mar
It is to be hoped that it wfll turn out to
be one of those numerous instances in
which "appearances are descriptive."
Secretary Noble has given orders by
telegraph for a rigid investigation of the.
charges, made in the dispatches from
Oklahoma, that government officials
took advantage of their official positions
to secure desirable town lots and home
steads before the bona fide settlers were
allowed to enter the territory, and he
says that if he can help it no person
shall hold a foot of ground in that ter
ritory or a claim that is not open and
above board, and entirely free from even
a suspicion of fraud.
Senators Sherman and Spooner leave
for Europe this week. They will remain
abroad several months.
Several names have been prominently
mentioned for the vacancy on the su
preme court bench, among them being
Gen. J. A. J. Creswell of Maryland, and
J. L. Webster of Nebraska, but those
closest to the administration seem to
think that Attorney General Miller will
be the fortunate man.
Several other pension cases that were
rejected by the late administration have
been re-opened and granted by Assistant
Secretary Bussey. They all turn on the
question of whether the injuries were
received by the applicant while in the
"line of duty." Gen. Bessey holds, sub
stantially, in all the decisiona hetha
made, that any injury received by a sol
dier in any manner, except through his
own neglect and wilful careleeaneas, be
tween the dates of his enlistment and
discharge may be considered as occur
ring in the "line of duty." Gen. Bussey
seems to believe in giving the poor sol
dir, instead of the wealthy government
the benefit of any doubt that may arise
in considering his claim for a pension.
And, like Gen. Harrison, he is opposed
to using apothecary's scales to weigh the
merits of the Union veterans.

Some doubt having been expressed as
to the cease of the death of Father
Hothans, the Catholic priest at Seward,

discover, if possible, the exact cause, but

remains lay, they were informed that
the bishop had forbidden an autopsy
unless the law expressly commanded it,
and therefore none was had; the physi
cians assert that there are strong indi
cations of poisoning in the case, and
were anxious to make an examination of
his stomach. His remainswere taken to
Cincinnati, O., Wednesday, for inter
ment, the physicians granting a certifi
cate of death for causes divided between
mania a potu and drug poisoning.
