ALLEGED FORGERY.
The Troubles of a Witness In Obtain
Ins His Fees.
A short time ago Mr. Jamoa Moran
was a witness in aomo case in the dis
trict court , and in duo course of time
presented his certificate at the county
clerk's oflico to have the num duo him
allowed by the county oommiasionora
He called aovor.il times , nnd the matter
tor not yet having boon acted upoi
was told to coino again. Finally tie
transferred , or assigned the ainouni
to Unrnoy Shantion , who advanced
liim the money , of which ho said lie
was in pressing need.
Thou Mr. Shannon began making
his calls , and ho too grow tired unil
accused the county clerk of trying to
withhold the money trom him ,
although the fact waa , the clerk wai
in Denver und his deputies assured
him that they alone were handling the
affairs in the oflico. The claim waa
allowed on Saturday and the warranl
duly drawn.
Tuesday Moran appeared again
and stated that ho would take the
warrant , as Barney had got tired ol
waiting and bothered htm until he
had gone and raised the
amount for him. Ho was
told that ho could only
get it on a written order from Mr.
Shannon , and after a short absence
lie came back with what was pur
ported to bo an order and was written
in pencil , when ho WAS given his
money. Yesterday Mr , Shannon came
up for the warrant again , and pronounced
nouncod the order a forgery. Ho
threatened to have Moran arrested
but had not done so at last accounts

THE IRISH QUESTION.
rrvlluro of the Acts of Relief Dovlsod
Iby Mr. Gladstone.
To the Editor of the fief.
It is not my intention to nbuso the
nurtcsio extended by your paper to
myself porsohally , na well as to the
auao which I have at heart , nnd
horeforo I shall bo brief as possible.
Your comments upon the Into land
cnpuo convention , nro ns usual , on-
enraging , and you seem to appreciate
ho sentiments uf that body , particu-
arly in ita criticism of a system of
and tenure , "which hai boon ropudi-
itod by every other country but
Jroat lltitnin. " Hut you say in the
text sentence : "It is unfortunate
lint in the aamo breath such hostility
a expressed to the flrat British gov-
irnmoiit which boa over honestly
lought to reform the land laws. " In
i discussion of the present Irish crisis ,
hero must nocoasarily bo a eront
llvorgonco of opinion , oven between
.ho Iriab nnd thoao who nro dosiroua
.0 bo friendly to their cause. Hence
t must oo acknowledged that the poole
) lo of Ireland , nro to say the least ,
jhsscd , nnd perhaps reluctant to re
ceive 'concoasiona , which nro offered
in good faith. Now , for the preaont
at least , I will hy aside nil rancor ,
nnd view Gladstone's nets in the light
of an impartial observer than a par
tisan Irian rebel ,
His church disestablishment bill ,
tiia tenant-right bill of 1871. and his
last land act , are the principal , and in
deed the only efforts Gladstone has
over put forth towards the ameliora
tion of Ireland's destitute condition.
The first two were nn absolute ncccs
sity , forced upon the administratior
of Mr. Gladstone by n combination ol
circumstances over which ho had no
control. They were issues which ,
like Bancho's ghost , "would nol
down. " Four-fifths of the Irish people
were Catholic , and yet thcywcro com
pelled to support a church by direct
taxation , whoso tonota they did not
maintain , and whose government was
oppressive. The world pointed ita
finger of. scorn upon the ilif.xmoua
principle which foatuicd the
"Irish church. " Emphatic agita
tion at homo and uncomplimentary
criticism from abroad \voro heard dur
ing the previous tory administration.
House Gladstone \vns forced to face
the music when ho came into power ,
Moreover , the Fenian troubles of 180 (
and 18G7 , and a dread of their recur
rence , hastened the abolition of the
church , ns well UR the passage of the
1871 land act. The ungrateful Irish
therefore were not in the least thank
ful for thcso liberal ( ? ) concessions.
But subsequent events proved thai
the land act of 1871 was moro than a
farce it was a nullity. It did not re
move a single hardship it did nol
benefit n single individual. Back-
rents , evictions , emigration and wanl
were just as rife as formerly. The
Irish , always suspicious of England's
good intentions , received Gladstone's
effort at redress passively and indif
ferontly. If the premier had eve :
had any hope that his measure woulc
bo of practical good to the Irish tenant -
ant farmers , that hope must have been
rudely dissipated in 1870 , when fam
ine , loan and. gaunt , made his appear
arico'liirthat lovely but misgoverned

And now wo come down to Glad
stone's latest and greatest act. The

have mentioned , and the system o
landlordism which took from the people
plo all that their industry produced
and then loft them to starve. Midi
aol Davitt pronounced Irish rent nn
"immoral tax. " Ho and his col
leagues exhorted the people to "lioli
the harvest" that is , not to do as
their fathers had done in ' 40 and ' 47
pay the last farthing of rent , and thoi
no into their desolate cabins to starve
That unselfish man the greatest man
of his race , that same Davitt said hero
before an Omaha audience that it waa
not the munificiont donations sent out
from America in 1870 which saved the
people of Ireland Irom starvation.
Liberal as they were , and characteris
tic of the great philanthropic hoar !
of America , they were but a "drop
in the bucket. " The people hold the
harvest and ate it. The landlords got
none of it. Passjyorosistancq became
the weapon Jn the brands ofan , other
wise helpless people' , and again JrisI
grievances came to the ears of the
British parliament. The quostiot
must coma up. The landlords looked
with awe upon "Hold the harvest , '
and "Rent is an immoral tax. " They
insisted that the commons take the
matter in hand. The commons did.
It was compelled to do so. But did
Gladstone contemplate abolishing u
system , "which has boon repudiated
hy every other country but Great
Britain ? * ' Not at all. His land
act seeks to perpetuate the infamous
system , But it is a failure received
from the standpoint of the landlord ,
as well as the tenant. The former
cannot conceal his disgust , the latter
his derision , The land commission
and their sub-commissions , working
with all the despatch that human
[ eniiis can devise , could not in the
next fifty years adjudicate the many
cased broughtboforo them. Moreover
the L'xuonso involved would bo moro
than the land is worth. Gladstone's
land uot is valuable only in so far as
that it is a confession of his weakness
to grapple with a question which he
lias not the power nor the willingness
to settle.
I cannot close my communication
without referring to Gladstone's great
est and noblest effort his coercion
act. His land act and coercion act
are co-oxistant. Anticipating the
recalcitrant disposition of the .Irish ,
ho put the coercion act in operation
to force the land pill down the
throats of the people. A brutal police
has unlimited power. The "resources
of civilization" are so prolific in the
brain of Mr. Gladstone that a person
bos only to bo "reasonably suspected"
so that ho may bo immured in prison
for an unlimited period , without trio ) ,
without cau&o. Certainly if anything
were wanting to make Irish grateful ,
it is found in this beneficent act.

MAIDS AND PAGES.
a. Child's Burial by the Children of
tbo Tent.
A very pretty and impressive din-
play was made yesterday afternoon on
the occasion of the funeral of little
Clara Loohraman , a child of colored
parents , who died on Monday.
The funeral was conducted under
the auspices of the Daughters of the
Tabernacle and the Maids nnd Pages'
Tent , two orders closely connected
with the Knights of Tabor , n colored ,
organisation somewhat like the Knights
of Pythias. The Tabernacle includes
the mature female relations of the
Knights and the Tent their children ,
the iormor being entitled to $000 on
their death and each mem
ber of the Tent to funeral
expenses. The ceremonies were con
ducted by Sir W. H. Wallace , chief
grand drill master of the Temple and
Tabernacle and deputy grand mentor
of the National Temple , Knights of
Tabor.
A good representation of .the
Daughters turned out , and about
thirty Maids and Pages , representing
the Tent. The little girls were
dressed in white , with appropriate regalia -
galia , and , ns they marched behind the
elegant white hearse which bore the
remains of their late follow member
they made a very impressive appear
ance. The procession marched through
the streets to the church on the cor
ner of Eighteenth and Webster , where
appropriate services were hold , and
from thence drove in carriages to
Prospect hill , whore burial took place
in the form prescribed.
Sir Wallace comes to Omaha from
Gallatin. Mo , , for the purpose of re
viving thoao orders in this city where
they wore established once before , bat
eventually became disorganized. Ho
came March 27th , and since his arri
val has contemplated locating hero if
Mrs. Wallace , whom ho expects hero ,
should bo equally pleased with the
place.
The Maids and Pages Tent , was or
ganized for the purpose of uplifting
the colored race by organizing the chil
dren and drawing off their attention
from the usual frivoltios of life. The
National Temple , which includes tha
rest in a manner , wan organized in
1852 , languished in obscurity during
the rebellion , and in 18GG was re
vived , and includes now 10,000 Sir
Knights in the United States. Their
annual mooting is called a Congress ,
and moots this year at Little Rock ,
Ark. Sir Wallace expresses his inten
tion ot having the next Congress hold ,
in Omaha. Ho is in a position to se- {
euro this probably as ho occupies
the second highest position in the
Temple. Ho is a very fine looking ;
gentleman and a very pleasant and in
telligent man , who will prove a valua
ble addition to the members of his
race now in this city.
Parties in need of Ranges will do
well to call on John H. Erck , the
