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 Excellency was bounced by John Sherman man as Collector of the port of New 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. lows. lows.The 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 Thus etatuto was never at any time repealed , but Congress in legislative , ozecutivo , and judical appropriation bills of 1877 , 1876 and 1879 appropriated for the salary of the Chief Justice of Wy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 a 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 s the next five years , r ta Arrsarofaing to be interviewed by baton reporters , Ben Butler received a telegram from aPittaburg paper and retired - tired to his closet to meditate. The gist s of his response is that Ben Butler is the the hardoat men to defeat tlmtMaasachu- aetta at least can furnish. Ben has that c nicked eye on the Democratic nomination - tion for the Presidency , and "bobs up serenely" amid the avalanche of votes against hhn , s It is rather cruel on the inert of the R lpuUfcan to sneer at Mr. Colby's do foat. Mr. Colby was the reguhu Bopub.r lean nominee in a district that gave Oar. r hold over 3,000 majority. Ho was sup. ported by the Republkan with all The rigor at its command. Ho bas been defeated - n foated by 3,500 majority and should have the sympathy of his supporters instead 1 of their jeers.

Time Dread Messenger. Cheyenne Sun , G , 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.
