JUDICIAL MURDER-
TIIK BRB has at no time taken stock
in the theory advanced by other Oma
ha papers that Watson B. Smith com
mitted suicide or shot himself by ac
cident. "Wo Imvo expressed nnd still
hold the opinion that ho was mur
dered. From the standpoint of a
common humanity tlio murder of
Watson B , Smith was n more das *
tardly crime tlmn the shooting of
James A. Onrfiold. The murderer of
Garfield exhibited n reckless daring in
shooting him in broad daylight , The
assassination of Smith , na cowardly ns
it was brutal , wns committed in tlio
night nnd in the dark.
From the hour this terrible crime
was parpotratod tha law ollicorn nnd
dolectivc'S Imvo had our active cooperation
oration in their effort to.forrot out th >
murderer , In common with every
law-nbidini ; citizen wo are anxious
that the cowardly assassin of Wntson
13. Smith shall bo speedily discovered ,
convicted nnd hung.
There is , however , eomo danger
that n grcatur crime even than the
assassination of Watson B. Smith
may be committed in the iiamu of
justice. It would be a most doplora
bio commentary on our judicial ays
tern to place nny man , whatever hia
condition in life may bo , on trial for tlio
murder of Watson I ) . Smith without
such substantial proof n would a ( lord
reasonable assurance of hm conviction.
It would bo nn unspeakable crime
to convict and hang an innocent man
on circumstnncinl evidence unless the
proof furnished , by credible wit
ileuses , is overwhelming.
Under any circumstances , any man
clmrgod with this grave crime
should bo considered nnd treated
0,1 innocent until ho is proven
guilty by a jury of hu peers. Even
that dastardly wretch , Guitoau , who
admits the deliberate murder of Presi
dent Giirfield , lias been accorded n
fair and imp.irtial . trial , nnd it must
never bo rniid of Nebraska that an innocent
nocont man lias boon judicially hung
beaiuso ho was merely suspected , or
worse than that bucauHu ho made him
elf obnoxious to nny person or cor-
onition. Wo pay this much with no
itont to reflect upon the notion of
, ny Inw ollicer. Wo simply auk nnd
isist that in this case , ns in nil crimi
ul cases , there shall bo no porsccU'
ion instead of prosecution.
Mr. Arndt may bo the murderer of
iVatson U. Smith , and if such is
rove to bo the cnsu , ho should suffer
ho extreme penalty imposed for such
enious crimes. But he should not
)0 tried in n court organized to con
ict , no matter how reprehensible his
ourso has been toward any law
iflicor.
In any case it should bo borne in
mind that this man may bo innocent ,
hut parties who have an interest
securing the heavy rewards
nay conjure up all sorts of circum
itancos to put their claims through.
Last , but not loait , there may bo par
ries who desire to keep this man in
nil tj prevent him from prosecuting
tluims agninst them.
A SHREWD DODGE-
Kver since the trunk line war began
n the cast the railroad organs have
ocn tilled with statistics to show that
water routes cannot and never will bo
nblo to compote fo. traffic with thu
railroads. Figures without number
were produced to show that the rail-
railroads wore carrying produce from
Chic.igo to Now York chaapor than it
could bo transported by canal , and
that in consequence of this state of
affairs the business of the Erie canal
had fallen to insignificant pro
portions. The public were in
formed that the Erie canal
had outlived its usefulness and was
no longer u competitor with thu rail
route and the people of Now York
state , who under the influence of the
anti-monopoly league had shown a
loaning towards taking oil' all tolls on
the canal , were cooly udvisod not to
waste their time in stimulating a route
which was already dead as a competi
tor of the railroads.
It now appears that Yandorbilt'a '
refusal to close tlio railroad war had
for its object the reduction of tralllo
on his great competitor. Thu Butfulo
Express , in announcing that the trunk
lines were conferring upon an immediate -
diato advance in rates , says :
The railroad war has been carried
on with great ( apparent ) fury { but the
has boon of the opinion from
the beginning that it was not half so
much a war of railroads among thorn-
solves ns it was a war of nil the rail
roads on the caiml. Wo may look to
BOO rates go high enough before
the water-route reopens to fully
compensate the roads for the low
rates of thu so-called war period ,
If the people were to make the
great mistake of permitting the railroads -
roads to break down canal navigation ,
they might then expoot high ratot
from the railroads all the year round ,
What would there be to prevent !
What is there now to prevent , except
the canal ? This protection which the
canal affords against extremely op <
nreuivo railroad rates during at least
half the year , is so obvious and the
value of it so prcnt that one would
hardly suppose- any intelligent citizen
would bo found indilforont to the
present or future welfare of the canal ,
The plea is that the canal has out
lived its usofnlnuM , The answer it
that last year it floated mow fruit-lit
than in any previous year of its history -
tory , and this year it floated mon
Svest ward-bound freight than > ovoi
before. The tolls had been taken tof !
west bound freights , and shipme'nti
at oncu felt thu impetus of a frut
canal , East-bound freights would
unquestionably respond to thu same
stimulus ,
For the state to refuse to apply that
stimulus is to depreciate its own prop
erty nnd to throw nwny the richest in
ternal commeroo in the world acorn-
merco which nny other stnto or coun
try would make almost nny nocrifico to
ccuro.
SKNATOR SIIEUMAN'H refunding bill
iflbra only from that introduced by
landall in the omission of tlio feature
nown ns the "Carlisle amendment , "
hich passed the Inst congress nnd
liich compelled the iiatioH.il banks to
iko the bonds ns guaranleo of their
irculation. It is stated that many of
ho bunks nro in favor of Mr. Slier-
unn'a meaiuro. The nntionnl banks
old § 200,000,000 of the outstanding
lontinucd 5 nnd I ! per cent , bonds ,
nd out of every call for $20-
)00,000 ) , are compelled to give
p § 8,000,000. Tlic.so must bo
oplacod by other bonds under the
aw , if their circulation is maintained ,
nd in the present condition of affairs
o other course is ottered thorn but
; ho purchase of l per cents , nt a large
remium , ranging from 1" to 18 per
: ont. It is argued that they would
nadily exchange the II ] per cents ,
inllod in by the government , for n 3
xjr cent bond which would give them
cnnanont security for their eircula-
ion for some years to como , Should
uch n bond be successfully floated ,
ho credit of our nation would
o higher than that of nny
ithor government on the globe ,
England's connols bear interest nt the
nto of three par cent , annually , but
ro rnroly nt par , fluctuating from 95
o 03 nt every disturbance of the for-
ign relation ! ! of the empire. Other
uropcan nations borrow nt rates
anging from five to twelve per cont.
t will bo left for the United States
ilono to float nt piv : a loan bearing
hrco per cent , interest , and tcrinina-
> lo , lifter n ohnrt period , nt the will
if thu national treasury. Such nu
chiovcnient will prove a. flttinr climax
o twenty years of financial legislation
iy the republican party.
TJIK opening of the Fremont cream-
ry will ndd another interest to
otirlsliing town nnd increases very
naturinlly the producing capacity
f Dodge County. It is a remarkable
act that Nebraska with her un-
quallod facilities for dairying pos-
essos only two crenmurios to which .
hird will soon bo added upon its com-
iletion at Columbus. The success of
ho West Point institution long ago
roved that creameries in Nebraska
were both leasable and profitable ,
'rom its foundation the West Point
reamory has boon a genuine success
if equal advantage to the farmer in
providing him a constant and profita
ble market for his milk , and to the
manufacturers in enabling thorn to ao-
uro a pure and saleable article of tale -
> lo consumption. There are no rea-
ions why Nebraska should not within
a few years stand abreast of Iowa in
lior dairying interests. Grazing is
cheap , and with a market for their
milk could bo made still moro profita
ble for our farmers. The demand for
pure article of butter nnd cbocso is
much greater than the supply , not
nly further east but in Omaha itself.
Every county in our state ought to bo
lUppliod with one or moro creameries ,
and capital can find no bettor and
moro remunerative form of investment
n Nebraska than in their es nblish-
nont nnd operation.
Tm ; ease with which the star route
organs learn of every move in the at
torney general's otlico shows that
there ia a leak somewhere. From the
first moment of exposure to the last
of the disgraceful fr lo in the Wash
ington district court uo detail of the
government's plan of operations seems
to have escaped the knowledge of the
ringators and their counsel. The
sooner Mr. Phillips makes way for
Benjamin II. "Browstar , or nny other
man in whom the people have confi
dence , the bettor it will bu for nil
parties concerned.
JUIKIK GIUNNKLL , of Iowa , has been
tendered the courtesy of the Union
Pacific road in order to make ti report
as to thu advuntaues of the lands in Ne
braska nnd "Wyoming for the cattle
raising industry. Over 1(50,000 ( cattle
Imvo already been shipped over the
Union Pacific thia season on their wny
east , a fact moro tolling than nny re
port Grinnoll could mako.
Gulteau'a Insanity ,
Now VorU Htm ,
Duitenu's labors , an assistant coun
sel , to prove himself inoanu have now
become incessant. Insane mon usual
ly are not anxious on that point ; they
are often very loth to admit it. Gui-
teau himself , when suddenly turned
upon by Judge Porter with the catch
question , "Your defense ia insanity ,
isn't ' it ? " adroitly replied that hia defense -
fonso was the not of tha Deity , com
manding him to do as he hud done.
But this distinction ho has long since
ceased to insist upon , The other day
ho wanted the exports to say whether ,
when a man felt himself compelled to
do an illegal act , by a power beyond
him which he could not control , nnd
which dominated his moral agency ,
hovas to bo considered sane or in
sane. Afterward , when a witncea
apoko of inequality in the two sides of
the head ns a sign of Insanity , Gut-
teau eagerly exclaimed. "That hits
my caio exactly ! " And yesterday ,
when n witness testified to his sanity
'
in'1878 , Guitenu yelled , "That's got
nothing to do with what occurred lost
May nnd June. T might Imvo go no
crazy n dozen timrs ninco ho Raw tnu. "
Such persistency in claiming insanity
is very quocr. But , after all , it will
not do to generalize too , hastily. The
inmates of insane asylums know that
in _ order to secure what they want ,
their freedom , it is necessary to make
others believe that they nro anne ; nnd
for the oaino purpose Guitoau must do
exactly otherwise ) namely , convince
people that ho is insane. Ilonco is
the /net of his insisting on liis own
insanity , extraordinary ns it nt first
appears , may not bo in itself exclu
sive of the great point now at issue.

Miss Jainea' entro upon the s age was the
signal for enthtiHioHtic applause , and

our citizens have bceen afforded nu
opportunity of hearing this talented young
artiitt since her return fr m n protracted
course of IUDHC il study abroad , in wnich
nhe gained golden laurela from the most
accomplished of foreign educators. She
was richly attired In an elegant Worth
drew of light blue al k. The over-dress
was handsomely embroidered in natural
flowers nnd trimmed with laco. Theun-
derskiit was cut en ( rain with elaborately
shirred front nnd finished with dep box
pleatings. Mies James' openipg number
was "O Luce dl quest iinlma , " by Doni

- ! a selection from the ' 'Barber of

with tnarke I dramatic qualiiiei completely
under control and exhibiting the results of
the severe and conacientlouitrainingwhich

a great singer , bu' nhe certainly pWRtBge
remarkable talents which give ric
promise of future achievement nnd
justifies the confidence of her iti-
ctrtictorB and friends. She completely
won the hearts of her audience last even

enthusiastic recalls. To her drat encore
