Several important and untrest'tng do-
cisiois were rendered last hConday by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Among them was on ng tine leas a
functionary than the President of the
United States. The case as reported by
telegraph was on record as Chester A.
Arthur , Collector , versus henry Pastor ,
relating to the proper duty on washed
wool. It appears that just bolero Isis

York ho exacted duty on several thou.
sand pounds of wool at twontysiz cents
per pound while the importer claimed
that the tariff' only allowed him to col.
beet twenty Bona per pound. The court
holds that the importer's understanding
of the law is correct , and that the calico-
tor erred in apparently aiauming that the
same number of pounds of unwashed
wool would be worth as much as waahod
wool. The protection of the old tariff
to which the construction is given in the
above case remains unchanged in the now
tariff , so the decision has a present and
prepoctive , as well as retrospective ,
effect.
Another decision that involves a grave
subject relates to the righta of suicides to
collect life insurance , The Suprno
Court holds that self-killing by an insane
person , understanding the physical na-
tmo and consequences of his act , but not
its moral aspect , is not death by suicide
within the meaning of the condition in a
policy of insurance upon his life , that the
policy shall be void in case ho shall die
by suicide. This decision will be hailed
with joy by the cranks who understand
the physical nature or the , consequences
of blowing into the muzzle of a gun that
is not loaded , but do not comprehend the
moral aspect of the explosion that fol.

The next case of interest decided was
the United States , appellant , versus
Joseph W , Fisher , appeal from the Court
of Claima. This case is that of the Chief
Justice of Wyoming , whose salary was
fized by the statute at $8,000 per annum.
Thus etatuto was never at any time
repealed , but Congress in legislative ,
ozecutivo , and judical appropriation
bills of 1877 , 1876 and 1879 appropriated
for the salary of the Chief Justice of Wy
oming only' $2,000 annually , and added
that this should be "in full compensation
for his services. " Chief Justice Fisher ,
believing himself'entitlod to the whole
3oo0 , per annum fixed as the salary of
his ofihco by the unropoalod and existing
statute , brought suit in the Court 'of
Clainis'to recover the amount of the do.
ficioncy , and obtained , pro forma , judgment -
ment in his favor. The court reverses
that judgment , but adds , however , that it
does not wisii to be understood as
deciding now the question .whether
the simple failure by Congress to
appropriate any or suflioiant sum
to pay the salary of an officer fixed by
the promises oflaw , is , of itself , an ez
presaion of purpose by Congress to no-
duce that salary. The effect of the pros.
cut decision scorns to be to confirm
the power of Congress to regulate , by
means of appropration bi1'.s , and without
any separate and specific legislation , all
asdarios aver which it baa control , and ito
'
change every year every officer of the
government except the President and of-
Gcors of the Federal Courts , by merely
changing the amounts appropriated for
payment of the officer , diet adding , that
the sum provided shall be in full wm-
ponsation ,
Ex Ohief Justice Fisher ought to have
boon lawyer enough to have kept his
weather eye on Congress through the
honorable delogateof'Wyoming , who has
nothing to do anyhow but draw his'
$5,000 annually with regularity and dis
patch.
"TIlENA.WD
The campaign that has just closed in
Nebraska was a judicial one. There was
no great Anti-Monopoly issue as was
fought over in the campaign last year.
There was nothing to arouse the producing -
ducing masses to activity in this contest
and it would therefore be unreasonable
t make comparison with last year's re
turns. Then we had to elect three Cou-
gresainon , a Legislature that was to
chose a United States Senator and a full' '
set of Stet bficers from Governor down.N
Now we had simply aconteat forSupremo'
Judge mad half a dozen District Judges
whose nominations were not endorsed by'
all parties , Thorowas no canvass made
and the only excitement was over District'
Judges and county officials. The legitimate -
mate comparison of results must be made
with the returns of the last judicial'elec
tion when the same class of ofhhcors wore
voted for. At that election Samuel
Maxwell , the Republican candidate for
Supreme Judge , roccived 54,892 votes ,
and William IT. Munger , his Demo
cratie opponent , rocohvod 20,553 votes.
Judge Maxwell was therefore elected by
a majority of 34,339 votes. It is safe to
say that M , B. Itooso , the Republican
candidate for Supreme Judge this year ,
has fallen fully 30,000 voles behind the
majority of Judge Maxwell. What a
fall was there , my cotttrymenl Can

Iepublican leaders still blind themselves
to the fact that the party ranks have been
fearfully tlocjlnatod by the railroad rot.
Let them look the facts squarely in the
face by comparing this yoar'e returns with
those of two years ago , when the issues
of the campaign were identical. Look at
the figures as they etaro them in the
face : Adams county , which gave Max. i
well 1003 majority , gives Reese only 400 ;
Boone county gave Maxwell 052 , Itooae
bona than 100 ; Buffalo gave Maxwell 950 ,
Iteom , 45o ; Burt gave Maxwell 558 ,
Reese , ill ; Casa , which gave Maxwell 584 ,
is against Iteoso by 87Olay ; gave Maxwell
SSfi , Reese , a fraction over 400 ; Douglas
pave Maxwell 321 , and gees ever 1,500 '
agaftnst Reese , a lose of over 1E00 , votes t
in one county ; , Fiumoro gave Maxwell
1,254 , givtis Reeeo.350 ; Gage gave Maxi
well 2,180 majority , ' Reese , a fraction
over 10 ; Maxwell carried , Hall
county by 502 majority , and it
now goes against Reese by 200 ;
Hamilton gave Maxwell 573 and goes
against Reese by 12. Jefferson gave
Maxwell 687 , against Reese by over 100 ,
Lancaster , Maiwoll 1820 , Reese 1160 ;
Nemaha , Maxwell 580 , Reese about 50 ;
Pawnee , Maxwell 988 , Reese 291 ; I'olk ,
Maxwell 085 , goes against Itooso by 247 ;
Saline , Maxwell 1000 , goes against
loose by over 200 ; Thayer , Maxwell
941 , goes against Reese by about 150 ;
Webster , Maxwell lat3 , Reese 500 ;
York , Maxwell 1023 , Reese 005. These
are the principal Republican counties in
which the party rolled up its 84,000 ran.
jority two years ago. They famish
proof of the revolt among the Republi
can masses against abuses which the
party machinery in the hands of monopoly -
ely cappers has inflicted upon this stateo.
Toner are some reforms suggested by
the late oleetion that should be made before -
fore we enter upon another campaign.
Ono of these is in the location of polling
places. The laws of this State
expressly prohibit the sale of liquor on
election tiny , and the keeping open of a
saloon on election days in violation of the
law forfoia the license ; but the mayor of
Omaha and the county commissioners ,
who are supposed to be law-abiding eiti-
zeus , and as officers should take an interest -
est in sustaining the laws , have sat the
example of lawlessness by locating the
voting places in four out of the six city
precincts in a saloon or next door to a
saloon. Voters ware compelled t go
through bar-rooms crowded with drunken
and drinking men , and candidates were
almost compelled to treat voters who are
addicted to drinking. It may be that the
law closing saloons on election day will
have to remain a dead latter until some
imocont citizen is slaughtered at the
polls by drunken rowdies , but some respect -
spect ought to be paid to the law by the
law officers when they locate the voting
places.
ANOTUEn hundred thousand dollars of
paving bonds has been voted. This
moans that four hundred thousand dol.
lams will be expended in Omaha for street
paving next season. In other words the
city will invest $100,000 for paving the
intersections of streets and the property
on the streets to be paved will contribute
$300,000 for paving the streets. After all
this will not be a very heavy burden
upon the property owners. They have
five ycarsin which to pay their paving
tax.
Beaides the $400,000 there will be ful
ly $100,000 paid out next spring for -
ing already under contract and for wpay-
beds habeen voted last year. Half
a million dollars in solid public improve.
mente will be a very nice beginning for
1884. There is o doubt snow that
Omaha will expend a million dollars for
grading , paving and sewerage within the
next twelve months. We may safely
count upon two or throe millions more to
be planted upon Omaha soil next year in
the shape of factories , warehouses , elevators
vators store buildings and dwellings.
The outlook for Omaha is very bright , in
fact brighter than that of any ether city
west of the Mississippi.
Tnu voters of this county have rejected -
ed the proposition submitted by the
county commissioners to sell the old
ourt house by such an overwhelming f
majority that it is not likely that the
scheme will be revived for some years to
oomo. This is certainly no time for the
city or county to sell the few valuable
lots that remain undisposed of. The 1
city will soon need a commodious , fire.
proof city hall and city oflicea. The old
court house site , located on the crossing
of the two principal thoroughfares of t
Omaha is admirably adapted for such a
structure , but even if we should not
locate the city hall on that site , it would s
bo folly to ec4l the property now when
we know of almost absolute certainty
that it will double or treble in value in

Sunday afternoon a singular accident ,
or rather an unusual one , occurred it
Schwartz's ranch on Pole Creek. A tel.
ephone instrument was being placed in
positron and Thomas Tierney was ad.
jneting the wires. A storm was in pro.
gross at the time and ho was warned
that there was danger , but he continued
his work. Suddenly three sharp reports
like the intonations of a large rifle rang
through the house and Tierney fell t the
fluor lifeless.
The man lay for only a moment , when
coneciousnoa returned , and an inventory
of the damage was taken. His board was
burned , his nose and lips were black , ho
was badly demoralize and his hands
more badly burned.
Tiern was holding in his left bairn a
wire attached to theinatmumonts whentho
lightning struck the wires , and his right
hand held the ground wire. The tares
wore not eonnectod , so the entire charge
passed through his body. Some idea of
o power of the shock can be gleaned
rom the fact that the wire and a knife
held in his right hand were partially
melted and ruined by the charge after it
had asked through his body.
Tiernoy was brought to town yesterday
and now is in the dry dock for repairs ,
The telephone instrument was domol
