THE Herald represents the Grand
Army of the Republic as tendering
their services to Mayor Boyd and
Governor Nanco to suppress strikers
and rioters. This statement is absolutely
lutoly falao. The Grand Army is a
purely benevolent organization , and
no post has the right to volunteer in
the name of the Grand Army than a
ledge of Masons or Odd Follows.
IT isn't proving so easy to keep
graders on the dump , even with seven

Yesterday afternoon fho impressive
iipoctaclo of seven hundred soldiers
protecting three men and a scraper
against a dangerous mob of two little
girls and n small boy , could have been
witnessed by any spectator passing
down Eighth street.
NEW YORK is revelling in another
pious defalcation , the victim being
tthe Fourth National bank , and the
defaulter one Richard H. Cornwall ,
their loan clerk. Mr. Cornwall pos
sessed nil the most approved qualifica
tions for a successful defaulter. Ho
waa a Sunday school teacher and
superintendent , a church member ,
highly honored and greatly respected.
Going on the old principle that hon
esty is the best policy for embezzlers ,
Cornwall used his religion as a cloak
under which ho quietly pocketed $80-
000 of the bank funds and nunk his
atoalinga in the vortex of Wall street.
IT will bo a surprise to many of our
readers to learn that Ohio has been
unfairly dealt with in regard to federal
offices. Governor Foster says BO , and
Governor Foster must be admitted to
bo a fair and impartial judge. In a
recent interview with the president ,
Mr , Foster , laid especial stress upon
the point that Ohio haa not got.noarly
as many offices as is generally sup
posed , and reports state that the presi
dent finally admitted that ho was sat
isfied that Ohio was cruelly wronged.
A few vacant cocsulatea still remain ,
and there will doubtless bo found a
sufficient number of Biukoyo patriots
to fill them.
i THE colored people of the United
States lese in the death of the Eov.
Henry Highland Qarnot , late minis
ter to Liberia , ono of the most intel
ligent and representative men of their
race in the country. Mr Garnet was
next to Frederick A. Douglass the
moat eminent colored man in the
United States. Ho was born n slave
on the estate of Colonel William
Spencer in Maryland in 1810. When
a moro lad ho escaped to the free
states , and at the ago of twenty-seven
ho graduated from the Oneida colle
giate institute and entered the theo
logical sch'ool at Troy , New York.
For many years ho waa pastor of the
Shiloh African Presbyterian church in
Now York City , where ho soon In.
oamo distinguished as a gifted public
pcakor and an eloquent preacher. Mr.
Garnett was an earnest republican and
an active worker in the abolitionist
rankc. Dating the early d ys of the
trnubiu i o made several trips to
Europe , and awakened great interest
ui the movement by his powerful ad
dresses. Dr. Garnett twice sat on the
floor of national republican conven
tions as a delegate. Ono of President
Garfield'a last official acts waa to ap
point him minister to Liberia. It is
said that Dr. Garnett'a grandfather
was brought from the country which
is now Liberia about a hundred years
ago by slave dealers , and that his
daughter , Mrs. Barboza.a missionary ,
has for aonio lime past lived and la.
bored among the native Africans in
the very place from which their an-
, ce-tor was carried away into slavery.
MURDERING NONCOMBATANTS
ANTS
The coroner's inquest over the body
of the murdered Armstrong haa do
volopcd a remarkable ntato of focti
The defenseless old man was put to
doa'.h by mililiamnn in broad dayllgh
in the strools of Omaha , but aftc
diligent inquiry the jury is compollci
to render a verdict that Armstrong
came to his death at the hands of a
soldtor serving in the militia to thorn
unknown. The evasive testimony o
officers and soldiers shows not only a
criminal design to shield the culpri
that committed this unmilitary mnr
dor , but n disgraceful lack
of diaciplino that justifies the
charge that our military is nothing
bettor than an armed mob. During
all the inquiry no officer know or
claimed to know what company the
militia man that bayonottod Arm
strong belonged to. Nor could a
muster roll bo probucod ot the detai
of the charging party to patrol the
street. During a state of war in an
enemy's country the guard on duty
ia not allowed to fire upon or kill wilk
any woaporf n non-combatant. All ho
can do is to arrest the man and hand
him over to the provost marshal. But
the Nebraska militia act as if they
were a band of guorrclaa , wholly ig
norant of cither military usage or
civil law. For this their com
manders should bo hold responsible.
In any army the killing of a non com
batant by soldora on duty is re
ported to the commanding officerwho
immediately calls a court of inquiry to
ascertain the facts and circumstances
of the killing. But when unarmed
men are murdered by our militia ,
their officers plead ignorance and
exert all their influence to cover up
the party guilty ot this criminal
broach of discipline. Contrast the re
cent trial of Sergeant Mason , sen
tenced to eight years hard labor for
firing at Guitcau. Can General Alex
ander and Goxornor Nanco allow this
military murder to go by without
instituting the usual inqufy. Even
among Indians the killing of an un
armed man is pronounced murder ,
and they are required to find the
cowardly bravo who takes the lifo of
a non-combatant.
In this case the military are hereto
to enforce the criminal laws , not to
violate them , and all mon or papers
that have invoked military protection
cannot gloss this inurdor over by any
sort of protonso.
WHY ALARMING I
Omaha haa Buffered moro damaeo
ilroady from baseless reports telo-
jraphod all over the country concern
ing the existing labor troubles than
an bo repaired in many years. On
Friday morning the Denver Tribune
published spool-la that Boyd's opera
bouse and the Omaha postoffico were
tot on fire and destroyed by the mob ,
md banks , railroad headquarters and
lowspapor offices were threatened by
ho "rioters. " Saturday morning
ho Associated Press announced that
ho strikes had "assumed a very
ilarming character , " and that United
States troops were called upon to dis-
xsrso the riotous mob. The imprcs-
tion has boon created abroad by lying
tnd magnified reports that the streets
) f Omaha have run rod frith gore , and
.hat riot ia wrecking ruin in our city.
No citizen of Omaha needs to bo ,
told that there has bocn no reason
'or sorioua alarm einoo the beginning
) f the troublo. Lifo and property
mvo boon socnro so far aa Omaha's
workingmen have boon concornod.
The only lifo that haa boon lost was
jruolly oaorificod by an undisoiplinod
militia. There has not been an hour
in which the oivio authorities could
not have enforced any order if they
had possessed the backbone of a dis
mantled gamecock , The laws of the
state were never defied , and the only
breach of the peace which occurred
could easily have boon prevented if
the mayor and his deputies had not
skulked to the roar of hostilities and
given orders to the regular police to retire -
tire just when the breath of the peace
became imminent. For three days
nftor the knocking down of a special
policeman caused Mayor Boyd to call
i > n the government for protection , no
visitor to Omaha could have told from
the appearance of our streets or busi-
nets house that any difliculty between
capital and labor existed in our city.
What was there "alarming'jJn the
character of the ntriko on Wednesday ,
Thursday or Friday after the affair on
the grade , which the railroad organs
magnified into a bloody riot ? Wasn't
lifo and property in Omaha as secure
as it was the week bpfore ? Did any of
our sensible citizens fool called upon
( o take extra precautions to defend
their persona and homos ? The only
individuals who had any occasion to
fool alarm were the mayor , who had
proved himself incompetent to deal
with the trouble and needed some
thing to furnish an excuse for his
til-considered course , and the editor
of the Herald who had boon howling
his loud mouthed abuse for a week at
Omaha workingmen Wasn't it the
best proof of the peace and quiet that
prevailed in Omaha that both these
men were unmolested by the very
mon they had pronounced an un
governable and rod-handed mob ,
And what ia there "alarming"
to-day in the character of the
itriko in Omaha for which our work-
ingmon nro responsible. Isn't it a
fact that the only lifo which haa been
lost since the commencement of the
trouble was that of a pence Able oh
man , who waa bayoneted while pros
Irate on the ground ! The solo cause
of the alarm is the presence of the
military , who are holding drunken
carouses on our streets and inflaming
the passions of our people by action
that would not bo justifiable undo
the rules of war by on army of in
vadora in an enemy's country.
SENATOR VAN WYCICS OF
FENSE.
Senotar Van Wyck made a grave
mistnko in replying at all to the dis
patch from the lender of the mob , the
man Walsh , who is hold in heavy bai
for appearance on a chnrgo of assaul
with intent to kill. Such mon as thi
loafer and demagogue , who has no
nnd never had a dollar's interest in
this city , are not the mon for n sen
ator from the state in the conprees
to hold communication with. Senator
ator Van Wyck's answer to thia incendiary
condiary lender , which was road to
the mob in Jefferson square on Sun
day , has awakened very painful feelings -
ings of distrust in the minds of tin
business mon and property owners o ;
this city , and not least in the minds
of many who have felt , nnd would re
tain a high personal rcspoct for the
senator. Republican.
What WOH Senator Van Wyck's of-
tonne ? Ho simply congratulates
Omaha workingmen upon the assur
ance that there was no truth in the
report telegraphed the president that
the civil and military authorities ol
Nebraska were unable to protect lifo
and property and maintain order in
Dmaha. Ho congratulates the work-
ngmon upon the assurance that they
lad no intention to violate the laws ,
and informed them that ho would at
heir request call upon the president
and submit their statement and romon-
tranco.
Was there anything improper in
his ? Does Senator Van Wyck ignore
and insult the busmass mon or corpo
ration managers by responding to the
pquest of a less wealthy or extra so-
ect class of constituents/ / Does a
Jnitod States senator represent only
nobocrats and mon of property ? la
not the poorest among our citizens as
much entitled to his services as the
millionaire ? Mr. Walsh [ appealed to
ho senator on behalf of the labor
union of Omaha and the senator only
did his duty in treating their request
with the same courtesy that ho would
the request of corporation managers ,
bankers or merchants. Such'conduct
cmly increases popular respect for
Senator Van Wyck as a man , and as a
true representative of the people.
But wo can assure the senator that
in this instance his instinct and im
pulse has , oa usual , been eminently
n accord with the public interest ,
rho president has been outrageously
imposed upon.
There has been no domoatio insur
rection liot or turbulence in Nebraska
vhich the civil authorities were una-
} le to suppress. The call for troops
md the intrusion of the army is
without justification. There _ is no
nero dangot whatever to life or prop-
irty in Omaha than there is in any
ithor city of rqual population , and
ho day is not distant when those mon
rho called for military protection
rill bo heartily ashamed thomsolves.
WINTER "WHEAT.
Farmers generally will be interested
n learning that winter wheat planted
ast fall ia in an unusually favorable
iondition throughout the country.
3omo very suggestive statistics on the
lubjoot have been collected by the
Jommorcial Bulletin , covering over
iOO different wheat fields , and also
noluding the wheat and corn crops
> f last year still remaining with the
' .trmors who cultivated them. The
ligniQcant point brought out by the
iomparativo table of figures is the
ratio of condition in the winter
cheats reported from all the wheat-
growing states , a falling off bninj re
ported in very few instances indeed ,
with the exception of some damage
lone by insect plagues and frost. In
rcspoct to the acreage , a largo increase
> ver last year is indicated in the cases
) t Missouri , Kentucky , and Indiana ,
while there has also boon a gain in
this regard in the cases of Ohio , Illi
nois , and Kansas. In the latter throu
itatcs , however , this gain was coun
terbalanced by the losses sustained
in certain counties. The summary
indicates that there was in many lo-
sahtios a very important increase
in the acreage nf winter wheat over
; ho crop of last year , and that the con-
lition nf the crop wan much above the
iverugo. Of the aid crops of wheat
md Indian corn phutud last year but
i small proportion remains on hand
n Michigan and Wiscoesin , with a
imall percentage in Kentucky , Indi
um nnd Minnernta. A largepTccnt-
ige , however , still remains undisposed
) f in Illinois , Iowa and Missouri. Moro
> f the wheat crop remains on the
'armors' handa than of the corn ,
lowovor , over one-third of the entire
vheat crop still being left in Minno-
lota , Iowa , Illinois and Ohio , with a
limilarly large ratio in other states.
L'ho exact average of the wheat crop
emaining in the hands of growers is
! 3.4 per cent. , and of corn 30.5 per
: ent. From these figures the infer-
> nco is drawn by The Bulletin that
ho stocks which have to provide for
iced and consumption for R period of
we months are relatively very light ,
uid the journal asserts , that the indi
cations nro that the supplies of whoa
and corn for eastward shipment nr
likely to bo very limited from now un
til next August.
ATTOIISRT GKNEHAI , DILLWOUTH act
ing at the back of corporation auto
crats has caused Judge Savage to im
panel a special grand jury to indie
the so-called reckless demagogues wh
have incited a dangerous mob to mut
dorous assaults. On Wednesday nigh
at the very hour when Mayor Boy <
was telegraphing for troops and thre
days before Omaha was put under th
protection of the military ono of thcs
reckless demagogues addressing th
"riotous mob" made the following incendiary
condiary speech : "For God'a sake do
not do anything rash to bring down
the condemnation of peaceable , law
abiding citizens and put the union in
a bad light , but stick to your colors
Bo honorable ; act like mon , not like
a mob , and discourage excitement
Keep away from saloons nnd let va
grants and lonfcra that are always
euro to hang around the edge of i
strike entirely nlono , and above al
things do not violate any law. "
THE proposition to arbitrate on the
differences of opinion between employers
ployors and employes came from the
so-calied blood-thirsty strikers ol
Omaha.
This gory prtposition haa been in
dignantly refused by the managers ol
the B. & M. , who declined to hold
any negotiations looking to nn end of
the troublo.
And who is responsible for the fact
that the difficulty still remains unset
tled.
tled.In
In ether cities during the past week
in at least two instances serious labor
troubles have boon Bottled by mutual
concessions between the men and the
employers.
In what respect are the Omaha
riigh-mightincBses superior to eastern
capitalists ?
And doesn't their refusal to treat
with mon now open to argument lay
them open to the charge of wilfully
continuing a trouble for whoso re
sults they profess BO much fear and
rembling ?
WHT don't the attorney general
call upon Judeo Savage to instruct the
special grand jury to indict the man
or men that murdered Geo. P. Arm
strong ? Why don't that grand jury
nvestipate by what authority of law
any soldier can lay violent hands on
citizens of Omaha while the civil offi
cers of law the police and constabu-
ary are not resisted in the perform
ance of their duties.

waa all behind him. He was simply

ocnnd removal took about one fourth
f the tongue and the entire ffoor of

lainful kernel developed in the poste-
ior of the mouth was removed. After
wards it was discovered that the parotid

became violently inflamed. The
symptoms were BO violent that the

in political circles that the sUto con

field on Wednesday on a call promul
gated by A. J. Streoter , late green

really a political move in the interests
of David Davis , who , it is asserted ,
would like to bo roturnwd to the sen

the railroad commissioners , in partic

to making political capital for the

in support of the view that the com

JOSEPH WILSON
testified that ho waa not acquaint o
with deceased ; never saw him till ho
saw him on the ground on Eig tl
street on Sunday evening about (
o'clock , when the affray was going on ,
deceased was on his back , with his
head towards the south : hold the sol-
dior'd bayonet with his right hand , as
trying to keep it away from him ; he
raised up on his kneea and then the
soldier let loose of his gun and struck
him over the forehead with his fist ,
and afterwards I saw faint rub the
knuckles of his hand ; about half a
minute after four soldiers came run
ning trpovtho gate ; they were dressed
in soldiers' clothes ; they placed their
bayonota over deceased's breast ; an
other roan , with a black hat and citi
zen's clothes , came on a run from th'at
corner and made a thrust at deceased ,
and the four bayonets over the man's
breast parried tnat blow ; he pulled
back and made another thrust
just then a man whom J
learn is a sun of the deceased
jumped out of the crowd along side
of me ; that attracted my attention
from the scene on the street ; did not
see them carry deceasi d off ; there
was nobody between me and deceased
while the affray was going on ;
the four soldiots came no furtl.or up
on him than to his kneps , on his loft
side ; the man that run from the cor
ner made a thruat with hia bayonet
it deceased ; it waa parried off by the
four bayonets and that bayonet was
the only ono that went below shoulder
} f the deceased ; did not suppose that
touched him ; deceased lay with his
head to the south ; about parallel with
the street ; the soldier that rushed in
; amo Lorn , the northwest corner of
the street ; deceased waa on hia back ;
the four bayonets covered his breast ;
thu four soldiers were holding their
bayonets over his broaat but did not
touch him ; the man that rushed from
the corner and did the stabbing was
iressed in.citizen'a clothes ; have not
iieard the testimony of the previous
witnesses ; should say that the man
that rushed in and did the stabbing
ivns about 24 or 25 years of ago
lomowhoro along there ; ho had on a
mt and dark clothes ; think ho had a
belt and cartridge box and pun ; that
is the only thing to designate him as
soldier ; think hia hair was dark ; it
kvaa neither long nor short that I no
: iced ; ho pushed hia bayonet downwards -
wards and forward ; after it occurred
no went buck to the corner ; the cap-
am came up "close to whuro I was
itanding ; ho said they meant business ,
iy Oed ; that if there were any more
jricks throwod they would shoot ; the
'ellow that did the sticking wont back
md cooked his gun ; ho waa the only
nan 1 Iteon do it ; afterwards I seen
lim let the hammer down ; ho was
ho only man that did it ; after ( his
myonot tin us t was made the son * of
lecoased jumped out to the aide ot
no nnd my attention was at-
ructe'd , but I aoeu two bayonet
hrusta made at the deceased ; didn't
hink af the tune that the man was
lurt ; had not need a brickbat tluo-vn ;
mdonitnod there hud neunona thrown ;
md been boy * thruwiug Dittoes ot Jin ;
aw no atouoM thrown ; didn't ' sue a
iiissle flying anvwhera as LARGE .NEAH
L A MAN'S HAND ; didn't hoar any ono
ailing the soldiers ; don't think I
ould identify the man that did the
ticking if I saw him ; did not hear
lis name nor have not heard it ;
lon't know what company he belonged
o ; didn't BOO the man that did the
ticking do anything afterwards but
ook his gun ; didn't hear any remark
omo from him ; heard a party passing
in the ether side of the street say ,
'they'll find out by G d that wo
dn't all pumkin buskers. "
