.TiiKoxtcnaion of the Sioux City _ .
Pacific road from Nolif-h to O'Neil ,
> , wliicli takes place fioxt Monday , opens
up an enlarged field for tr.ulo to
Gmulia incrclmnts. Owing to the
diUiculty of access , ttio people of
northern Nebraska have licon virtually -
ally cut oil' from cbminunicaUon and
markets \vith the southern portion of
thu state , and both sections liavo been
the losers. Qmuha'a loss has boon
Kiour City's gain , and business which
should hare sought Nobrosku'e com
mercial metropolis has boon trans
ferred across the river to Iowa. On
the other hand the people of northern
Nebraska kavo been debarred of iho
benefits ol competition in trade and
ocial intercourse with other portions
of the state. The opening of the
Sioux City & Pacific road to Noligh ,
and the close connections made at
lair by the St. Paul & Omaha line
, will bring O'Neil City and the adjacent
country witliin a day'a nde of Omaha.
THE GENEROUS MONOPOLIES
According to the Omaha tttpublican ,
the monopolies of Nebraska are about
to treat the people of this state to an
exhibition of generosity which should
forever nilcnco all opposition and dis
content against railroad abuses.
Teachers attending educational insti
tutes are to bo carried on their lines
for half fare. Exclusions to the fiol-
diers * reunion at Lincoln next month
are to bo given reduced transportation
rates , and to cap the climax of unex
ampled gcnurosity 25,000 people "scat
tered over the plains of the garden
state of the west" are to bo transport
ed to the state fair at Omaha at half
faro rates ,
It is doubtful whether the citizens
of Nebraska will enthuse very greatly
over this news which causes such sen
sations of joy in the monopoly organs ,
In the first place , half fare in Ne
braska is more than full faro in many
other states , and a reduction in tariff
for special occasions , when the ro-
duccd tariff still affords ample re
muneration to the companies , will not
strike our people as being particularly
generous on the part of the corpora
tions.
In the next place , every ono under
stands that the reason reduced pas
senger rates are given to excursions
is to induce larger traflic and to cor
respondingly increase the profits of
the corporations. Experience has
[ aught railroad managers that more
than twice as many people will travel
: o attend a celebration whcro the faro
is two cents a mile than would make
: ho journey if the regular ex
orbitant four-conts-por-milo rates
were maintained. The reduction maclu
iy the Union Pacific aiid 15. &M. rail
roads to attendants upon our teachers'
nstltutcs , soldiers' reunions and state
airs were not made for the benefit of
ho people , but solnly in view of at-
racting n larger number of passon-
; ers to their lines aiid to that extent
ncrcasing the profits of transporta-
ion.
ion.Tho
The opuortunity to reduce faros and
ncreaso receipts may bo a cause of
ongratulation to railway officials , but
no can see no reason why the people
if Nebraska should I'.o down on their
( nccs and thank ttio companion for
lolping to fill their own coflura. They
hould leave this duty to the subsi
dized monopoly organs.
THE RIGHT OF ASYLUM-
The correspondence between the
lopartmont of state and the attorney
of Lee Hartmann regarding tfin pos
sible extradition of the Nihilist upon
the request of the Ilussian govern-
nont ia an interesting study for all
Americans who do not believe in the
ibridgmont of the right of asylum for
political offenders. It has always loon
Lhe policy of the United States to
construe the right of asylum very
broadly and the duty of extraditing
criminals rery narrowly. Born hrough
ihethrocsof apolitical ro volution , which
f unsuccessful , would have resulted in
.ho execution of those loaders which
ire now the nation's horvesj the foun
ders of the republic have constantly
refused to consider political offenses
against foreign powers a crime and
lave sheltered on our shores hundreds
of political fugitives from foreign
lands. In respect to common crim
inals it possesses extradition treaties
with a number of European nations
by which , upon proper proof , it sur
renders their prisoners to the proper
authorities , but eyon with such govern
ments that class of offenders , whoso
only crimes are of a revolutionary
nature , are not included under
the provisions of the treaties of extra
dition. No policy of our government
has boon better settled than that in
the absence of a treaty no power ex
ists for the delivery of a fugitive to a
foreign government , and oven with
the existence of extradition political
offenders are distinctly excluded from
its provisions. It is difficult to un
derstand on what ground's then the
state department assumes that it
would bo its duty , "if called upon , to
deliver Hartmann into the hands of
the lliiEGiim government. Leav
ing , aside the political nature
of the ofTunso with which ho is charged
wo cannot sou how , as n common crim
inal , hia extradition is possible in the
absence of any extradition treaty be
tween this government and Russia ,
lint when the circumstances of the
case are taken into consideration and
the refusal of other and less liberal
nations to surrender uo the .Nihilist
leader is reviewed the position of the
state department becomes still more
difficult of explanation , When
Switzerland , Franco and England in-
terposu to shield from his pursuers a
political refugee , whoso lifo hls ; been
staked on the issue of his party con
victions , the United States would bo
more than demeaning herself in the
eyes of the nations if she yielded to a
popular clamor , and belied her professions -
fessions of the past by refusing to
furnish an asylum of refuge to an
exiled political fugitivo.
The assistant secretary of state
enunciates the doctrine that there can
bo no distinction made between the
criminal who murders a peasant and
the political conspirator who plots to
assassinate a king This doctrine is
at variance with established precedent
among all civilized nations. The
assassination of Abraham Lincoln
was the work of a conspiracy.
All the ftsccasories to the plot ( f
Wllkes Booth wcro equally guilty of
treason and murder. But when John
Surralt , ono of these accessories ,
crossed the ocean ho became a political
exile , and oven the Pope , who was
then the temporal sovereign of the
papal states , refused to surrender
him. Surratt was subsequently kid
napped , carried away to a United
States war ship and brought back to
America. Moro recently Sitting Bull ,
who murdered General Ouster and
several hundred of our eoldiors ,
sought rcfugo on British soil in
Canada , and the niero pretext
that the Indians are an independent
nation within this republic , was
deemed sufficient to make him a poli
tical exile and insure his protection
under the British flag. If the doctrine -
trine promulgated by Mr. Blaino's
assistant secretary hod been engrafted
upon the international code , it is
questionable whether any of the illus
trious refugees from foreign lands
who sought refuge on our soil
could liavo found an asylum in Ameri
ca. Among these conspirators against
the lives of rulers by treasonable revo
lution wcro such men as Garibaldi ,
Kossuth , Louis Napoleon , Rochefort ,
Head Contra Stephens , John Dillon
Michael Davitt , and oven Carl Schurz.
PIIKSIDENT GAIIFIBLU'B attempted
assassination is likely to bring several
important questions before conercss nt
its next session. The first subject to
which that body should give its atten
tion is that of the expenses of the
president's sickness. General Garfield -
field received his wound in the dis
charge of public duties and because he
held the position of chief executive of
bhc nation. His sickness haa been
long protracted and the expenses will
without doubt run up into
Lho thousands. Six physicians
in constant ! attendance forever
over a month cannot bo expected
to work for nothing. For this ro ason
and to remove the necessity of the
president's considering for a moment
the acceptance of Mr. Field's sub
scription paper it is to bo hoped that
congress will provide liberally for his
sick-room expenses.
When it has done this immediate stops
should bo taken for putting the White
House in a healthy condition and for
draining the Ividwell flits along the
Potomac. It haa long been known
that the president's house was un
healthy and imperfectly drained , nnd
that its roar windows looked out on a
miasmatic marsh , but nothing short of
a president lying long at the pointof
death and suffering from the unhealthy
conditions of his residence haa ap
peared to bring Congress to the point
of appropriating money to euro these
evils.
.Foil sublime cheek , , the editor of
the Omaha Jlepubltcun is without a
rival in America. With bravado on
his lies and the Union Pacific brass
collar on his neck this man with the
adamantine cheek makes the following
bombastic declaration : "If the time
shall ever come when wn shall bo re
quired or oxpoctcd to forego our own
opinions , political or otherwise , at the
dictation or request of any railroad
manager , wo shall quit the business
and seek some occupation , however
humble , in which wo can at least
oherhh a becoming and manly self-
respect. "
Indeed ! And why , wo pray , did you
forego your pretended preference for
General VanWyck and advocate the
ro-olcction of Paddock ? Or was
your pretended preference for Van
Wyck only a delusion and a snare nnd
your'clmmpionship' Paddock the
iioneat expression of your political
preference ? And why docs Mr. Kim-
ball's man Friday deny his own master -
tor , who brought him to Omaha ,
placed him in the editorial chair and
had his numo enrolled on the U. P.
employes pay roll ? Do railroad man
agers hiru men to edit corporation
papers unless they are willing to fore
go their own opinions , write- what
their masters dictate and suppress
whatever they do not desire made
public ?
Tn effects of the president's illness
in allaying party fooling and healing
sectional wounds is particularly marked
in the south. Henry Watterson , of
the Louisville Courier-Journal , who in
1870 urged the capture of Washington
in the interest of Tildon and the
democracy , uses Iho following expressive -
sivo language in speaking of General
Garficld's sickness :
At this 11101119111 the United States ,
waiting the recovery of the president
attending , as it wore , state by state ,
the sick bed at the Wluto House are
an ideal republic , and form a , united
people.
May wo not say "this is as it should
bo ? " Everybody is a Garfield man ;
for the time-bearing all party fooling
staiuh in abeyance ; wn uro all Amer
ican ; wo love our country and wo love
ono another. While this man's lifo ,
who is the icprosontativo of us all , is
in the balance , all of us are brothers.
Should not this teach us the folly of
partyism ? Should it not liberalize us ?
Should it not make us , as citizens ,
more kindly in differences of opinion
ono to another ?
SK.VATOU EDMUND * is said to bo
booked for A place on the supreme
bench when President Garfield ap-
poinU successors toClillbrd and Hunt.
Senator Edmunds is an invaluable
mail m the senate , He ia of all other
men the ablest and most invulnerable
opponent of corporate monopolies in
that body. It will bo an irreparable
leas to the country to have him with
drawn from the senate and the only
consolation is that just such n man IB
needed on the supreme bench.
A oooi ) deal of interest is mani
fested distillers , brewers and liquor
dealers , as well as by the temperance
agitators , in the test cases now being
argued before the state supreme court ,
involving the constitutionality of the
Slocumb high license law.
Ably lawyers are engaged on both
sides of this question , and , ns usual ,
the attorneys on both sides are confi
dent their side will be sustained by
the court. Our special dispatches
from Lincoln indicate that the ar
guments will bo concluded to-day , but
the court will take the case under ad
visement , and in all probability no de
cision will be rendered until the next
term. Meantime parties most directly
interested remain in suspense.
Tin ; Springfield , Mass. , Republican
says Jay Gould is gathering himself
about St. Louis like an Octopus. He
owns its railroad connections , its
bridge , its largest iron works , its
barge line down the river , and he has
just bought a controlling interest
in the stock-yards which servo its
railroads. A great city like Now York
is too largo for any ono man to handle ,
but in a city of the .second rank there
is nothing impossible in a man's
grasping a controlling influence over
its trade , and it would bo to his inter-
' *

est to make the trade as largo as
possible , but as much as powiblo to
abaorb its profits.
CONSUL WILSON , of Hamburg , reports -
ports to the state department that
there are no signs of abatement in the
emigration from Germany to this
country. The number le.iving Ham

year reached 24,401 , as against 7,707
for the corresponding period of 1880.
Literary Note.
"Tnr EXILES" is a Russian love
story of great power nnd originality.
Tho(8coifo ia laid in Siberia , just now
a point of unusual interest because of
the hosts of Nihilists who will un
doubtedly bo sent into exile there by
the now czar. The leadintr characters
are Yegor Sumenolf , a political con
vict ; Nadogo DavidofT , hisbnthrothed ;
Lidislas , a Polish boy ; M. Lalleur , a
liberty-loving French dancing-mabter ;
and Yerniac , chief of police of Ya-
koutsk. Yegor , Nadego and Ladislaa ,
aided by M. Lafleur , undertake to
escape Mnough Siberia. They are
followed by Yermac , but reach the
polar regions , meeting with all kinds
of exciting and perilous adventures.
The descriptions of the hurricane , the
aurora borealiH , the polar night , the
mirage and the breaking up of the ice
are marvelously vivid , realistic and
beautiful/ and the characters are so
strongly drawn that , they nro'photo-
graphed on the memory , while the
immense amount of reliable- informa
tion concerning Siberia given renders
the book especially , valuable. In a
word , "TiiE EXILEH" is a masterpiece
in every point of view' and thoao who
fail to read it will miss a treat of no
ordinary kind. Its authors are
Victor Tissot and Constant Amore ,
two well-known French novelists.
The work of translation haa been
done by George D. Cox in Ins usual
style of excellence , and the great
romance is given the American public
in all its attractiveness. It is pub
lished in a largo square duodecimo
volume , paper cover , price 75 cents ,
in uniform style with Peterson's
editions of ' 'Emilo Zola's" and"Honry
Grovillo's" works , and wjill bo found
for sale by all Booksellers and News
Agents , and on all railroad trains , or
copies of it will bo sent to any ono ,

Slou * City Journal , Aug. 10.
Gen. John Cook , Indian agent at
Rosebud , Sottod.T.iU's agency , w.is in
the city yesterday , on his \v.iy to that
agency , having'been ' called back from
St. Paul by the news of the old chief's
death. Gen. Cook was interviewed
by a reporter , and sp&ke thusly of
the late head 'of tlio Sioux nation :
"Spotted Tail waa the beat Indian
alive. It ia a mistake to call Crow
Dog , the Indian that killed " him , a
chief. Ho was not even" head man
among the tribe. I made him captain
in the police force , but deposed him
because of hostility to Spotted TaiH
Ho waa waa never chief of the police
force. That office is held by a white
man. I suppose that Crow Do found
Spotted Tail unarmed and shot him
down. Crow Dog and his brother had
'on ono or two occasions previously
pointed their rifles at Spotted Tail
when he was unarmed. Ho'told ' them
that if ho pointed his rill6 at a man's
body ho made his heart bleed , or if at
a man's head ho made his br.iinH fly ,
and asked them if they wuro squaws
that they were afraid to firo. Crow
Dog nnd his brother belonged to a
faction of the Brules that wanted the
tribe divided , and Spotted Tail would
not have it ; so they wanted to kill
him ,
I think the trouble originally grow
out of the killing of Big Mouth , chief
of the Ogallalas. This happened
nine or ten years ago at Camp Sheri
dan , before the lower Sioux wuro removed -
moved to 'their present agonoy. The
Brules and Ogallalas were there to
gether. Spotted Tail was in the tepee -
pee of ono of his warriora when Big
iJouth , chief of the Ogallalas , camu
in and pointing hia gun at him
abused him in the most insulting man
ner in which one Indian can abuse
another. Spotted Tail made no reply -
ply except to ask Big Mouth if hu
wni a squaw that ho did not shoot
when hia mm was pointed.
"Then Big Mouth wont back to hia
council tent , where a feast waa going
on. Spotted Tail went to hia own
tepee , and getting hia rifle , followed
Big Mouth into the council tent. Big
Mouth had just boon tolling how ho
hud intimidated Spotted Tail. Old
Spot brought thu butt of huritlo down
on the floor hard , and said : "Does
any man a\y ; that Spotted Tail is a
coward ? " Nobody answered. Then
hu went around from man to man ask
ing all the sumo question , but none
answered. The lost ho came to was
BiK Mouth. 'You said that Spotted
Tail was a coward , ' and levelling his
ritlo blow out that chief's brains. The
Ogallalaaj some of them , objected to
this , but none of them over molested
Spotted Tail. "
"Ho was not a chief by birth. Spotted -
ted Tail wasn't. ' Ho was only a head
man when ho took part in the fight
with llarnoy at Ash Hollow , Ho was
taken prisoner and kept through the
winter. When ho was released ho
waa made head chief of his band , the
Brules , and afterwards was recognized
by the government as the head of thu
Sioux nation , a nation numbering
fully 05,000 souls. Since ho has been
the firm friend of the whites and of
peace. Not loug ago ho sent word to
the Northwestern engineers who were
exploring the country west of the
river that if they wanted an escort
to protect them he would send them
