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 ,

WEST OF THE MISSOURI.
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 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.

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

) 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. "
