THE WH1TTAKBR OA6B-
The extended press report * received
from the WeSrtToint Inquiry into the
alleged outrage on Oadet Whittaker
ow the InteresT manifested In the
case by tha people at large through
out our country. If the charges
which Sir. Whittaker brings against
his fellow students , of persecution
and outrage , were at all new in the
annals of the academy the ! feeling of
prijle iidconfidence.whch the nation
feels in its military institution might
overrule , perhaps , the circumstances
of .tbo c se. , JJut the treatment of
Flipper , whose four years in
est Point wera four yeais
.oi constant martyrdom and the
reports of like brutality meted out to
those who were unfortunate enough
to differ in color from the majority of
the cadets , does not justify any feel
ing of prejudice in favor of the mar a
of the West Pointers. Certainly in
the present instance the testimony ad
duced has shown that every petty in-
suit which could be offered to the col
ored cadets without fear of punish
ment has been given and taken in si-
lance by Whittaker and his fellows.
It looks very much as if such treat
ment was winked at by the offi
cers of the academy. At
all < events their bearing during
the course of the trial has not shown
any marked desire to assitt Cadet
Whittaker in finding out and punish
ing his outragors. On the other hand
from the opening day it hai looked too
much as if Mr. Whittaker was the de
fendant and the officers of the court
martial the prosecutors.
Whatever may be the final result of
the present investigation on the soli
tary case of Whittaker , it will do
much to open the eyes of the people
at large to the difficulty of the prob
lem which the presence of colored ca
dets presents in the national training
school of officers. The problem , it
must be admitted , is fully asgreat a
social EB a political one. It .is on the
social basis that the principal opposi
tion is manifested , and that ostracism
is used as a solution and a preventive.
Congress is waking up to the necessity
of considering the question , and if a
full and fair discusiion results in
some adjustment of a perplexing
problem , the Whittaker case will have
accomplished a great good.
Edmunds as a Senator.
Washington Letter to Indianapolis Journal.
Not a solitary measure passes the
fenato that is not licked into shape by
the icsinuatinz tongue and all-prevad-
ing mind of vigilant Senator Edmund ? .
Others may toil like the marble
cutters on a statue , but when the
breath cf life is to be blown into the
nostrils the great artist must be on
hand to pinch a soul into the in-
erorable stone. The casual observer
would not pronounce Senator Ed
munds handsome according to the
Greek or modern standard , but he has
the exact appearance which one ,
in imagination , would picture
a Roman Senator before
the empire was in its decline. We
cm realize in this senator the highest
ingredient of New England civilizv
tion. Bis solemn visage seems a re
flection of tbat sombre landscape , the
savage grandeur of the BOB , the ma
jestic mountains tipped wi'h snow.
His sleepless efforts to keep the sen
ate records clean embody the Puritan's
ide * of justice , that rarest product of
the seed planted by the Mayflower.
It is that awful something which
nerves the hand of the fisherman of
that stormy coast united to the moat
intellectual culture condensed into a
single blade , and it is Keen enough to
out a ship's cable or a hair. When
Belva Lockwood , the woman lawyer ,
was trying to reach the bar of the supreme
premo court through the senate , her
fear centered on Senator Edmunds.
She said , "I know I shall 'pais/if ]
can win hii support. " So she sent a
metsenger to plead her cause. "My
vote , " jsaid Senator Edmunds , "will
not be recorded against Mra. Lock-
wood because she is a woman. I think
her a very poor lawyer ! If I had my
way , only thosa thoroughly tra'ned ' in
the law should be admitted to practice
in the supreme court"
Senator Edmunds has a social re
cord at the capital without a flaw ,
which proves that men can live pure ,
clean lives like women. Senator Ed
munds treats women in the most re
fined and courteous way , just enough
frigid to bo dignified ; butif he chooses
to descend to a limited quantity of
small talk , everything he says is
valuable enough to be printed in the
newspapers. This tnnp has not been
made selfish and otherwise spoiled by
the "buzzing of the presidential bee. "
If he should ever reach the
white house , of which these ia not the
slightest danger , no one would be half
so astonished as himself. He has
reached the highest poinc ot his ambi
tion to be the leader of his party In
the senate , to fill to the fullest measure
the idea of an American senator ; and
while like the Lite Charles Snmner , he
can grasp the great legislative matters
of state , unlike himhe can take up
the little things , Not a sparrow could [
fall on the senate floor without notice.

DOWNEl's POEM.
Correspondence ot THB BBS.
WASHINGTON , April 27. I suppose
you were all reading Downey's poem
of tha 'Immortals" instead of going
to church last Sunday. The poem
was good as a sermon , andeihe best
joke perpetrated upon congress for
some time. Downey bails as a dele
gate in the house from Wyoming ,
and has prophetic viiions of the glo
ries of the grand west. He is a Christ
ian poet-statesman , a believer in the
apostolic creed , and hence he recently
introduced a resolution in the house
to have painted on the walls of the
capitcl four grand historical and alle
gorical paintings , representing the
birth , life , death and resurrection of
Christ , as told iu the four Gospels. A
few days ago he arose In bis seat like
a "cloud compelling Jove , " called up
his resolution and naked leave to print
his argument. Leave was granted.
The next morning members of both
houses were astonished on taking up
the Congressional Record and seeing
on its title page the title
of a poem dedicated to con
gress "copyrighted" and "all rights
reserved" running through fifteen
double column pages and longer than
Milton's Paradise Lost. Surprise
gave way to indignation and indigna
tion to common sense , when they con
cluded that Mr. Downey had not violated
lated the privilege to print any more
than half of the members who get
leave to print speeches that are never
delivered and have neither poetry nor
point m them. However , the print
ing of Mr. Downey's poem will have
one good effect , perhaps , that of lim
iting the privilege to print undelivered
and irrelevant trash in The Record.
BENATOB PADDOCK'S ADDITIONAL 80-
ACKE BILL
is now in the house where I am'told
by several members it will either be
killedor further amended so as to re
move its dangerous and objectionable
provisions. The bill aa reported by
Senator Paddock was regarded by per
sons here familiar with theland-lawsas
a piece of ignorance and stupidity , or
cunning and cupidity ; but I would be
more charitable , and say it was a
piece of demagogism to catch the votes
of the homesteaders , and that the
senator did not really think into what
mischief the bill might lead. You
are familiar with the provisions of the
bill. It provides in substance that
every person who has heretofore
entered a homestead of eighty acres
within the limit of any railroad grant ,
may in addition to the quantity al
ready entered , be permitted to enter
aa much more as will make the whole
quantity equal to one hundred and
sixty acres , and that when such addi
tional entry cannot .be made of lands
joining the original entry the appli
cant may select lands elsewhere.
Amended by Senator Saunders , so as
to read elsewhere "within the state or
territory in ichich his or her homestead
is located. "
There are many objections to the
bill ; but before I consider them I
wish to aay that Senator Saunders'
amendment was a wise one in the in
terest of the people of Nebraska , and
shows that he is ever watchful of their
interests , whether they are threatened
through the stupidity of friends on
the attacks of foes. The bill as pro
posed by Senator Paddock without
Senator Saunders' amendment , would
have left the homesteaders of Nebras
ka very little show pt getting an ad
ditional eighty in his own state , and
but a slight chance of getting it any
where else. It would have opened
the door for thousands of homestead
ers from Iowa , Missouri and other
states , where there is no land of any
amount subject to homestead entry ,
to rush over into Nebraska like
a cloud of grasahoppeas and
goble up the lands there , and into
Kansas , or wherever else they could
find them ; so that the homesteaders
of Kansas or Nebraska would not
have had as good a chance of getting
their additional eighties under Sen
ator Paddock's origins ! bill as they
will now under Senator Sanndersr
amendment , the people of Iowa , Mis
souri and other states , being confined
to the land in their own districts *
Under the bill as originally presented
by Mr. Paddock , instead of a Ne
braska homesteaders going into Kan
sas to pick up their additional eighties
and selling them to take the money
back to Nebraska , thousands of per
sons from those other states would
have gone into Kansas and Nebraska
and have taken from them ten times
the amount. But the Saunders'
amendment prevents all this , and
saves to the state the outgo of millions
of dollars.
But as I said the bill has many ob
jections. It is _ pf the same class of
fraudulent a&djobbing legislation as
Hitchcock's original timber culture
act , which , you remember , was a
scheme in the interest of a lot of land
sharks. That bill did not limit the
quantity of land to be entered by any
one person , so that any person or
company , aa was the Intention , could
have entered a hundred and sixty
thousand acres or more if he wanted
to. But the schemers over-reached
themselves in fixing too large a quan
tity to be cultivated in timber. Now
Paddock's bill ia the reverse of the
first timber culture act It limits the
quantity of land a person may enter ,
but it does not fix the quantity of tim
ber to be cultivated , end for that rea
son is a worse fraud upon the general
public than the old bill. Hitchcock's
law might have benefited the country
if the company could have afforded
to cultivate the quantity of
timber required , but Paddock's
bill wouldn't furnish growth enough
to feed a grasshopper twenty-four
hours. Thiokof it ! The homesteader
is required , by Paddock's bill.to plant
and continously cultivate for three
years not lets than /our , f > four ,
sickly little cotton wood shoota , or four
miserable little sour apple trees , "only
this and nothing more. " If .Paddock
knew what he was doing when he pre
sented that bill I don't think be did
ho must have thought the people of
Nebraska were all marines hence
; hat hospital or too blind to see
through his scheme.
That the bill ia a fraud upon the
country at large is clear , and will be
so considered m the house. The people
ple whom it pretends to benefit vere
never dishonest enough to ast for it.
When they selected their eighty a
within the railroad limits they did to
became they knew that eighty acre *
near a railroad was worth more than
160 acres" outside of the limits , they
believe so yet. Theyjinew the govern'i
ment thought so then , because it fixed
a double minimum price on the lands
inside of the grants and only allowed
half the quantity for homesteads.
True , by a recent act the homesteader
within the railroad limits can take
another eighty acres adjoining him ,
so as to get one hundred and eixty
acres in a body , or he can surrender
hia eighty and take one hundred and
sixty acres elsewhere and have the
time of his residence on his firsthomo-
stead deducted from the five years he
would have to live on his last entry.
In addition to this he can take another -
other one hundred and sixty acres
under the timber culture act , so there
Is no necessity for Mr. Paddock's bill
as an act to equalize homesteads.
Public interest is opposed to the
bill. It should be the policy of the
government to reserve the public
lands for actual settlers aud not open
them up under false pretenses for the
benefit of land sharks and speculators.
There are thousands aud thousands of
persons who , if they could , would like
to take the benefit of the homestead
law , but who will be deprived of doing
so if Paddock's bill should become a
law. What Nebraska wants to add to
her power and wealth is additional
homesteaders , bone and sinew , and
not additional lands for the home
steaders she now has. There is anoth
er objection tbat lies back of this bill.
A KAID T7POS THE PUBLIC TBEASUBY.
If it is right and just that those who
preferred to take an eighty-acre homestead -
stead within the land grant limits to
one hundred and sixty acres outside ,
should now have on additional eighty
granted them the government hav
ing fixed the value of the land Inside
double of that outside it ia also right
and just that those peraons who en
tered or pre-empted land at two dollars
lars and a half an acre inside of the
railroad limits , should now have half
of the money refunded to them by the
government. This would undoubted
ly be the next move if Paddock's bill
passes , and would take millions of
dollars from the treasury to enrich
those land sharks who have dealt
largely in scrip. And railroads might
claim that equity would require their
grants to be doubled.Yon see where
the gjzollo comes in ) STRONG.
RELIGIOUS.
In St. Louis there is not a Congre
gational church that is burdened with
a dollar of debt.
It is believed that the Rev. Dr.
Herrick Johnson will be offered a
chair in the theological seminary at
Chicago.
The building for the summer school
at Concord , Mass. , the puttting up of
which the success of the school last
year has justified , will be used in part
for religious services.
It is asserted in The National Bap
tist that St. Louis , which has an es
timated population of 500,000 , has a
"smaller proportion of evangelical
Christianity than any other city in the
country. "
It is said that preliminary steps
have been taken in Philadelphia for
the formation of a new society among
the orthodox Friends. It will be
made up of persons who have been
excluded from the other meetings for
causes , such as marrying out of meet
ing , which are not immoral.
The national council of the Congre
gational church will meet this year in
tit. Louis. The invitation to meet in
New York , which was extended by
New York and Brooklyn Association
at its late meeting , did not reach the
committee having the matter in charge
until several days after it had decided
unanimously _ to accept the invitation
from St. Louis.
In the mountain counties of eastern
Kentucky the bestknown man is Goo.
0. Barnes , who for four years had
labored there with great zeal and rich
results as & revivalist. In two years
the number of conversions due to
him was 4802 , of whom 1500 belonged
to one town. Last August he began
work again , and in 0 wings ville 385
persona were converted. The number
of other places added to these makes
a total for the eight months of 3601.
Mr. Barnes is still holding meetings.
The Baptists are strongest in south
ern cities , in Richmond first , Atlanta
second and Raleigh third. In Raleigh
there is one Baptist to every seven
of the population. In Richmond
there is one Baptist to every four
and three-quarters of the population.
The Baptists are comparatively weak
in Charleston and Columbia , S. C. ,
Savannah , Ga. , Mobile , Ala. , New
Orleans , St. Louis and Nashville ,
but strong in Augusta and Columbus
and Macon , Ga. , as well as in Louis
ville and other cities of Kentucky ,

When the keel of the "Constella

60 years or so ago , and during all the
time her timbers were being hurried
together , there was not much ground
for supposing that in her old age she
would carry to Great Britain from
America a substantial testimony of
good will. In those days shot and
shell , and plenty of it , constituted the
gift that we most desired to bestow
upon our British enemies ; and now ,
for the relief of Ireland , the old war
ship sat sail with her bulgy old inside
crammed as full ai it could hold of
food and clothing for our British
friends. On the whole , the new ways
ate better than the old.

SANTA GLAUS FOUND.
Greatest Discovery of the Age.
Wonderful discoveries in tfit world havebeen made
Among other things where Santa Clans stayed ,
Children oft ask If he makes goods or not ,
If really he lives in a mountain of snow.
Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Pole
And suddenly dropped In to what seemedllke ahole
Wcero wonder of wonders they found a new land ,
\Yhlla falry-Uk * beings appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like ours , with more
beautiful green ,
And far brighter skies than ever were seen ,
Birds with the hues of a raJobow were found ,
While flowers of exqulilta fragrance were grow
ing aronnd.
Not long were they left to wonder in doubt ,
A being soon came they had beard much about ,
Twas Santa Clans' self and t bllthey all say ,
Be looked like the picture W a evsry day.
He drove up a team that looked very queer ,
Twas a team f grasshoppers instead of reindeer ,
ITe rode In a shell instead ot a sleigh ,
But he took them on boud and drove them
away.
He showed them an over his wonderful realm ,
And factories making goods for women and men ,
Furriers were working on hats great and small ,
To Bunco's they said they were sending them aU.
Kris Kinglc , the Glove Maker , told them at once.
All our Gloves we are sending to Bunce ,
Santa showed them suspenders and many things
more.
Saying I alse took these to f il nd Bunco's store.
Santa Claus then whispered a secret he'd toll ,
As in Omaha every one knew Bunce well ,
He therefore should send his goods to bli care ,
Knowing his friends will get their foil share.
Now remember ye dwellers in Omaha town.
All who want presents to Bunco's go round.
For shirts , collars , or gloves great and small ,
Send your sister or annt one and all.
