" MADEMOISELLE COLUMDIKU has disarm' > 'od her assailants by coining forward with the statement that she was not touched by Sara Bornlmrdt'a whip , that Sara's dagger was merely a paper dagger , and that the rehearsal was perfectly satisfac tory to all concerned.

The settlers near Logan , Utah , who have submitted for u long imo to extortion nnd robbery ivt the hands of the Union PaciGc , have put on a train of seventy wagons to transport supplies between Ogdun imi Logan , and ether wapon trains will bo supplied as noodod. The people of thai region propose to do without the railroni entirely until they receive fair treat ment. KANHAS OITV , the headquarters o : Frank James , would not allow the Sul Jivan slugging combination to give an ox [ traits. The Kansas lit at the action Sullivan out Dssiblo that i [ jarcd the wouli DESKIITJWS. An army oftlcor at Fort Robinson has writUm n letter , which wo print elsewhere - whore , in which ho takes strong grounds n favor of the proposition to brand de serters from the army. Incidentally ho also takes occasion to condemn the stric- .urcs upon General Howard , which were repiiblishod from the Jfcw York Sun , this paper. Ho most emphatically de nies that desertion from the army is pro voked by injustice to enlisted men by reason of insufllciont rations , improper management of clothing accounts , and the abuse of authority by officers. Ac cording to this officer , the only graina of truth in The Sun'tt summary of causoa for desertion may bo found intho long in : torvals between pay-days , and thn use of soldiers as laborers. It is not material , liowovor , what the real cause for deser tion is. The fact that thirty per cent of the regular army has deserted , shows that there must bo grave nbuacs , which army officers are not disposed to remedy. The ground upon which the branding of deserters is sought to bo justified is to prevent the commission of a heinous crime. Granting that desertion from the army is a heinous crime wo cannot conceive - coivo how branding will check it , much less could wo justify a resort to a prac tice that will put a perpetual mark of disgrace upon a man. oven whore it can bo done without inflicting pain and upon any part of the body not exposed to view. In our civilized ago the tortures and pun ishments inflicted by the inquisition nro no longer tolerated. A few years ago some of the most unruly convicts in the Nebraska penitentiary were hung up in the stocks , tied to bull-rings by their thumbs , and kept in dark cells for days. The legislature , upon investigation , caused the summary removal of the war den , and the use of the stocks and bull rings was abolished in our state prison. The prison discipline , without these in struments of torture , has boon bettor than it was with them. Anon , burglary , highway robbery and murdorons assaulta are high crimes , but nowhere in this country have men who have boon con victed of such crimes boon branded under the pretext that a branded convict would not commit another crime , because the punishment is much greater for the second end than for the Irst offense. Without regard to religious sentiment the spirit of our doy is that men who commit crime and pay the penalty proscribed by law shall have a fair chance to rcsumo thoi r vocations in an honorable calling , if they are disposed to load an honest life. To brand a man would bo a perpetual taint , not only upon himself but upon his family. In times of war deserters are shot , and it is proper that they should bo. This is a necessary safe-guard , and when strictly enforced , a effectual as a preventive. But when wo are told that deserters should bo > randod in time of peace to keep them rom ro-onlisting , it sounds very absurd. ) urini { the war some soldiers ook the risk of being shot for ho sake of , the heavy bounties , rang- ng from $300 to $1,000. But there are no bounties paid to recruits for the rogu- ar army in time of peace , and it does com that many deserters are not anxious o re-onliii , when 30 per cent of the army 108 deserted. First of all ) however , deserters could not bo fc-andod until they are captured , &hd nino-tontha of the deserters are never captured. The ether tenth can bo punished > y imprisonment the same as any ether class of criminals. When they pay the penalty of their crime , as prescribed by nilitary law , they are the same aa o civil convict who has served his timo. They should go forth into the world again un- > randcd and with their future unclouded iavo by the record of the past. There must certainly bo something- , radically wrong in the army , to which , his wholesale desertion is to bo attrib uted. Else , why are all desertions from ; ho ranks of the privates ? Who has ivor hoard of an ofilcor deserting , unlosi , iko Benedict Arnold , ho turns traitor in imo of war ? But olHcors do often com- nit crimes as grave aa desertion. Has anyone over suggested the brand- ng of army officer * aa a preventive of a repetition of auoh ofl'onsoj ai duplicating pay accounts , forcing vouchers , bigamy , woman , and gambling away thb government's money entrusted to their care ? Ofilcord convicted of such crimes have occasionally boon dismissed from the army , but there their punish ment ends. Should anyone suggest the branding of on oftlcor for any offense , it would bo resented by every officer in tht army aa n relic of barbarism. It strike ! us that the plea made by the officer al Fort Robinson , in favor of the branding of deserters , viewed from any stand point , is contrary to the spirit of oui times. Tun Bornhardt-Columbior fracas ii atill exciting considerable interest. It is jufit as Tun Bm : stated , a hugo advertising ing dodge , although Bornhardt ompliat ically denies this. In a published cart she says aha chastised Columbior bocausi that woman had insulted her. Born hardt says : "I gave her gold. She gavi mo calumny. Bho called mo Sarah Bar num. I am not n Jumbo. Then I qavi her the lash. She weighs 300 pounds : ' . weigh Bovonty-fivo pounds. But she rai before mo , this vile , ungrateful woman- this woman whom I have bofriondod- this Columbior who was nothing unti aho mot Sarah. I have done with hoi did not cliasttso her for ailvcrtisin purposes. " In another statement th Boventy-fivo-pounder says ; It wouli liavo pained ino very much to have ha the American public , that I BO love , an tliat I hope to bo with once again , an soon , have wrong impressions abou thia affair , where my roputatio as a woman is engaged. So it will bo scon that , notwithstanding her assertions to the contrary , the sensa tional scene was merely an advertise ment to pave the way for her reappear ance in America. On the other hand , the dovo-liko Colombicr will receive an extensive advertisement for her book. In an interview she states that she will rej lace her broken crockery , but to pre vent repetition of Bcrnhardt's assaults she has bought hornolf n useful little companion , a British bull-dog , not a four-legged brulo , but a-15-calibro. Col- ombior sensibly concludes : "As for the rest , Sarah will have her little puff out of the affair and BO shall J. Moro poo- pie will go to sco Nana Sahib' on account of it , and it will increase the number of editions which I shall sell of my book. " Tun colored people of Cincinnati have hold an indignation mooting and resolved that the only true remedy against south ern outrages is a solid north. The col ored people , as a class , are a great deal like the Lourbons. They never learn anything by sad experience. The south ern outrages were at their worst during the presidency of General Grant. ' The White League in Louisiana , the Kuklux in Georgia and the Carolinas , and the shot-gun policy in Mississippi were all in cubated while the south was dividing its electoral votes among republicans and democrats. Grant. surrendered Arkan sas to the rebels under Baxter , and Mis sissippi , with a population two-thirds negro , was given over by Grant to con federate democrats. In the last months of his term General Grant refused to suppress the White League uprising in Louisiana , and under Hayoa the state finally passed over to the White Leaguers , because congress had expressly prohibited the use of troops in political emergencies. The Hamburg massacre , winch was by all odds the worst outrage perpetrated on the negro , took place while Grant was president , and Butler , the man who led the assassins , was elevated to the United States senate , and ia now one of the national law makers. If Grant could do nothing to protect the negro from out rage and assassination , is there any pro bability that outrages will bo stopped by resolution and by making the north more solid than it has boon ? The sectional issue is dead , and the demagogues who are trying to revive that issue are only endeavoring to impose upon the negro. The failure in the past to sustain the en franchised frocdman in his political rights and in his personal rights as a man is the darkest blot on the history of it a republican party. It cannot nowundo what is "pist remedy by waving the bloody hirt. If the negro wants to atop outrages uj.on his race ho must either protect himself or ho must lot politics alone in the south and do vote his time to picking cotton. There was n time , noi very many years ago , when foreigners were outraged in Baltimore , Louisville , and ether cities by armed mobs under "knsw nothing" leaders , and they had no bettor redress from the general gov ernment , so far as protection is con cerned , than the negro has now. They had to bide their time , and when they became numerous enough they banded together and madu themselves feared and respected , TUB Omaha Republican people have o reason .to complain of Van Wyck. le has taken care of one of their editors , ) atus C.

Should a determined fight follow the ollapso of the Iowa railroad pool , it will osult in several important changes on ho lines of the Burlington and Union 'acifio. ' Ever since the former built into ) envor the management have been traightoning the road in this state , and making it as near as possible an air ino to the mountains. The last and most important of these improvements s known as the Konoaaw cut-off , which vill make a saving of thirty-two miles in distance and ono hour in timo. This ins is now being built and will bo com pleted and opened early in the spring. Thia will give the Burlington an ndvan- ago of about 50 miloa over the Union Pacific. The latter will doubtless in augurate similar improvements at an early day. By abandoning the Papillion curve and building over the original survey voy from the summit near this city tc Fremont about fifteen miles can bo saved , This change was talked of about a yoai igo , and it wan stated on good authority that the original line would bo buih in r Tow years. The fact that the Missouri Pacifio would need the present line and would probably bo a willing purchaser , encourages the belief that the Fromcni cut-off will bo built this year. . The Salina , Lincoln & Decatur rail road managers had smooth sailing fron the north until Saunders county wai reached , Although the business men ol Wahoo talked strongly in favor of aid when the commissioners were aikod t ( submit the question to a vote they quiotlj pigeon-holed the papers for two woeki and then refused to order an election because cause the road would not guarantee tin expense.

( It is stated that after the 1st of Janu ary the U. P. will commence the build ing of a road from Marjsvillo , Kansas southward to Manhatten , Kansas , wlier it will tap the Santa Fo road.

The agricultural editor The Lincol : Journal , becoming envious of the growt' of north and west Nebraska , recently at tacked and condemned all the countr west of the Blue and Loup rivers. TJii wholesale condemnation with its ularin falsehoods ia vigorously denounced b the prcas of the western portion of the state , "This is n most extraordinary ntatomcnt , " says the Sutton Register , "in the face of the facts. The entire Second congressional district nnd nearly all of the Third , lies west of the line con demned in this wholesale manner. Fif teen years ago the country west of the Blue was entirely uninhabited , while to- to-day it contain at least 200,000 people , who are not only "holding their grin , " but are accumulating wealth , and making comfortable homes at a rapid rate. At least fifteen counties south of the Platte and west of the Blue , can discount Lan caster any year in the century for good crops and general agricultural prosperity. And the same may bo said of a largo ex tent of country north of the Platto. Fif teen years ago this kind of talk was believed - liovod , but in this year of grace , 1883 , nearly two-lhirds of the population of the stale ia growing fat in this worthless desert. " The annual report of the governor of Montana to the secretary of tlio interior furnishes interesting statistics of the wealth and prosperity of the territory. The asscsncd valuation of property is 9-10,500,300 , and the total indebtedness of thejaovoral counties footsup only)5G ! ) , . C73.04. Thonumborof cattle is 485,000 , valued at $30 per head ; sheep , 700,000 , valued nt $3 per head , and 00,400 horses , valued at ? 7o per head. This exhibit shows conclusively that the cattle and sheep intoroats lead all ether industries of the territory , furnishing one-half the assessed properly , or § 23,130,000. Eastern Montana has sent to market during the year just closing 24,000 hooves , nnd received 34,000 head of east ern cattle , nn excess of 10,000 import over export. The eastern cattle bought for vcstern shipment nro purchased in Ohio , Iowa. Illinois , Winconsin and Min nesota. They are generally young onts and two-year-olds , or cows brought out for dairy or breeding pur pose . Cattle will become acclamat- ed n a year or two , and then there is little or no danger of their dying , no matter how severe the winters arc. A Montana calf , born and roared on the soil , it ia claimed , cannot bo killed by severe weather any more than a buffalo calf , The hair of cattle born in that northern climate is longer and the hide thicker than that of eastern cattle. The stockmen , too , are becoming more caro- f ul of their herds than they used to bo. They now cut and put up a good deal of hay for their cattle , a thing they no'vor did until lately. A moving machine and a little labor has boon found to bo a cheap insurance on a herd. The great number of cattle shipped and driven into Mon tana from other points during the post year marks itaa the future grazing ground of the northwest. The experiments of coal hunters in Nebraska have' , proved such costly and dismal failures heretofore that the an nouncement of a now find is generally discredited. The town of Superior claims to have at last solved the fuel problem tea a limited extent , but the holes are twenty-four miles away in a southeasterly direction. The locality is called Omio , a combination of feminine exclamation points. The Superior Guido says "three holes have boon bored down and each time the vein has been struck. The vein is about fifty-two inches inches deep. Wp have soon a sample of the coal , and it is of very good quality. The coal was found at a depth of about ICO feet. No arrangements have been made ypt for operating the mine. The only diQiculty in operating it is water. The mine has a good roofing of atoho and is considered inexhaustible , coal having boon found six miles from the present headquarters. The excitement is vnry high , and the owner considers the mine bonanza for him. " The reports published in these columns est week of the gloomy condition of bus- ness in the Salt Lake valley are fully onfirmed by later accounts. While ) bnvor waa growling against the discrimi nation in favor of Utah , the railroads were filling the storso of business men at Salt Lake City and Ogdenat rcducedratcs , and at the samotimoblockadingtho routes ,11 adjacent territories which might ena- ) lo them to diupcso of their largo Blocks , daho was flooded with Salt Lake drum mers , who , by means of the cut rates , vcro able to furnish goods at less than .ny ether firms , but the opposition mer chants quickly appealed to headquarters , nnd a raise of rates was immediately ordered to put all merchants on in ociual footing. It is said rates from Salt Lake City to Idaho towns are the same us the rates to Omaha , so that the .norchanta of the former city are losers jy the war of rates. The Salt Lake Tribunp thus pictures the effect of rail road discrimination on the business of ; ho city : "Tho cut in rates has not in- iurcd "Denver half as much as it has Salt f kc. The stores are ail full hero , : here ia no sale for the grain which the farmers have , there s trouble in store for thousands. But , lmt is not the worst complaint which Utah makes. The Short Line and the Utah & Northern roada have by their lirect discriminations agninat this city , taken away the trade which in Idaho and Montana this city made before the roada wora built , and which of right ia hers. It coata aa much to send goods from thia city to Butte or Hailcy as it does to send the same goods from Omaha , 1,000 miles or more east of us. The same rule ex tends to the shipping out of ere and base bullion. There is no nthor land undoi the aun whore rules ao infamous would bo permitted ; where n corporation giver a charter aa a common carrier would be permitted to place iU grasp upon the busi ness throat of a community , and strangle it to death. " The newspapers of Montana , especial ) } those on the line of the Northern Pacific , are not at all anxious for a railroad to the National Park from the south. Tlioj much prefer that Villard'a highwaj should control tourist travel in that di rootionand give the shopmen of adjacent towns a chanou to'pluck pleasuro-sokort before the Hatch hash mill empty tl&ii purses. This is natural and proper , and wo are not surprised to BOO the ridicuU with which the territorial press treat tin proposed road from Ohoyennu north , The filing of articles of incorporation o the Wyoming , Yellowstone Park it Pa cifio railroad , n few weeks ago , liiu callct forth the following attempt a sarcasm by The Helena Herald "About once a month on an average wi got the same identical dispatch fron Cheyenne saying that articles of iucorpo ration have just been filled for a company that will begin as soon as spring opens the construction of a railroad from that point into Montana by way of the Natio nal Park , etc. Wo can distinctly recall thrco previous cases of the tame kind , and are getting a little bowildorcd.
