The preliminary steps taken by con
gress towards retaliation upon Germany
and Franco for their prohibition of the
importation of American pork aroalroady
causing a marked effect upon the governments -
monts of these countries. Some of their
leading citizens , merchants , manufac
turers and newspapers are becoming
alarmed lest the United States shall
adopt strict retaliatory measures which
will seriously nfloct tMr trade
with this country. If Germany
and Franco think that prohibition is allen
on one eido , they will soon find out that
they have made a grave mistake. Unless
the prohibition upon American pork is
removed or modified , congress will cer
tainly take decisive action , several bills
having already boon introduced with that
object in view. Germany and Franco
are keeping their eyes on the American
congress , and are watching with deep interest -
torost its every movement in this matter ,
The introduction of retaliatory bills is
causing a general discussion in these
countries , particularly in Franco. The
distinguished French economist , M. Si-
monin , acting no douLt in the interest
and upon the suggestion of a largo con
stitucncy , emphatically protests against
the present policy of prohibition. In a
forcible loader in La France ho de
nounces the bill of Paul Bert na an ab
surd and dangerous measure. The
ofilcial returns of Franco show tint the
value of the imports of pork shrank in
the last year from 50,000,000 francs
to 150,000 francs. This bss of trade
fell upon the ports of ITavro , Bordeaux
and Marseilles. The poorer classes of
people were deprived of cheap and nour
ishing food. So it will bo soon that the
prohibition effected every class of people
in Franco. The French povornmont has
remained obstinate in its position on this
question , notwithstanding the protests of
the various chambers of commerce
throughout that country , the Academy
of Medicine , and the council of public
health. It la plain that the French
people want American pork , but the
government does not , The government
however , will probably bo forced to back
down from ita stubborn poaition.
M. Simonin given a plausible explanation
nation of the prohibition movement it :
Franco. Ho assorts that the war ngtiins
American pork was begun and continued
in the interest of a ring of protoctionisl
pork-packers at Nantes , who want to
monopolize the homo market. In con'
eluding his vigorous protest against protection
toction , M. Simonin says :
"Now it is high time that the French
people should open their eyes to the dan
ger which is now menaced by American
reprisals. The reports of the Amoricar
consuls to their government have directed
od Attention to the alleged adultoratioi
of French wines. The analysis of the
municipal laboratories of Pans lend color
to this charge , and porhapa give
cause for the action of the American
congress. If the United States restricts
or prohibits the importation of Froncl :
wines another enormous loss will bo in
flicted on French commerce , and this a1
the very moment when _ our oconomii
disturbance and diminishing exports are
greatest. In the event of such prohibi
tion 37,500,000 franca will bo lost , thui
making a total of nearly 100,000OOC
francs , and thus- paying dearly for thi
protection of a few pork packers of Nan
tea. "
What M. Simonin says of the ofTec
of retaliation upon Franco , can bo ap
plied with equal force to Germany. Hi
protest has evidently alarmed Franco in
the interest of her exports , and cabl
advices now inform us that Loon Chat-
toau will sail for America on Wodnosda ;
next , his mission being to prevent , i :
possible , retaliatory measures on tin
part of the United States. The result
of his mission no doubt will bo a compromise
promise- which the American hr-g will 1
bob up serenely and bo given the free
dom of Franco ,
Paul Bert's attack on American pork
is based on the fear of diaonso. The an
swer to this is that competent inspectors
at the ports of shipment and delivery
can prevent traffic in diseased moats.
UTAH legislation promises to occupy a
largo share of the attention of congress ,
and the probability is that a strong effort
will bo made to pass an effective bill for
the suppression of polygamy. Senator
Oullom's bill provides for n special gov
ernment for Utahto consist of a governor
and n council of nine , to bo appointed
by the president and confirmed by the
senate. In speaking upon his bill , Sena-
tor Cullom made n scathing review of
Mormon attaint and methods. Ho charged
that they have trampled under foot all
the laws of the United Stntoa , and ho as
sorted that thoyhold thobalanco of power
not only in Utah , but in Arizona and
Idaho , and perhaps in Wyoming. Sena
tor Cullom maintained that congress has
a constitutional right to muko rules and
regulations to govern territories. This
proposition , however , was opposed by
Mr. Brown , of Georgia , who said that if
it can crush out ouo religious sect why
cannot it crush all religious sects. Sen
ator Cullom's speech attracted marked
attention , and will sot congress to think
ing upon the subject. The solution of
,
the Mormon problem will prove a moat
difficult one. Lawn may bo enacted for
the suppression of polygamy , but that is
but the proiiminarj atop. The enforce
ment of those laws is what will trouble
the government , as much in the future
as it has in the past.
CALL , of Florida , has in
troduced a bill for the establishment of a
national univoroity of medicine at Wash
ington , for the advancement of science
and discovery of improved methods in
the treatment and cure of disease. This
is u practical and sensible idoa. If there
is any science that deserves support and
development at the national oxpunso it is
that of medicine. A national university
could bo made an institution tlmt would
far surpass all others in ita resources of
knowledge and facilities for the thorough
and practical education and training of
the medical fraternity. Money expended
in this cause will bo wisely invested , and
the expenditure will meet with the ap
proval of the people. The money spent
on useless arctic expeditions would In
itself b'o sufficient to establish and main
tain a national university ot medicine.
A NATIONAL DirOllOK LAW.
A movement is being inaugurated in
favor of the passage of a national divorce
law , and petitions to congress are being
circulated for oignaturea throughout the
country. That such a law is greatly
needed there is no doubt. At present
nearly every state in the union has a
different divorce law. In Borne states
the marriage contract can bo easily dis
solved for the moat trivial alleged causes
in from fifteen minutes to twenty-four
hours , and BO loose are the laws that a
divorce can bo obtained by fraud without
any fear of detection or punishment. In
otherntales it isa difficult matter tosoduro
a matrimonial disolution , the causes for
abaolutodivorco being very limited. In two
orthrco states a separation may bo obtained
od on various grounds , but an absolute divorce
vorco is not granted except for adultery
and perhaps for two or three other almost
as serious charges. The result of this
varying system is t6 give to these statoa
which have loose laws upon this matter
the monopoly of the divorce business.
This explains why Chicago has become
the treat ? divorce center of the country.
People from all parts of the country flock
thither for the purpose of freeing themselves
solves from matrimonial bonds , which
are dissolved in that city almost as easily
as two passenger cars are uncoupled.
A natipnal law governing marriage ant
divorce would provo very beneficial.
What conatitutoa a legal marriage shoulc
bo explicitly act forth , the causes for
divorce should bb enumerated , and the
manner of procedure should bo plainly
oxprosard. The wide difference ! ) between
the laws of the aovoral states have led to
conflicting judicial decisions , so that
marriage is often treated in ono state us
dissolved , and at the same time in an
other as existing. Under the prcaon
laws cases may arise where n man ma ;
bo conviclod of bigamy or adultery in
ono jurisdiction upon what would bo
lawful marriage in another.
It is a question , however , whether
congress has any right to legislate upoi :
the marriage contract. Such a right is
not enumerated among the powora granted -
od to congress under the constitution ,
but congress has the power to regulate
commerce between the states , and if the
marriage contract assumed between citi
zens of different states can bo construed
aa moaning inter-state commerce , then
congress haa undoubtedly the power of
legislating upon the subject. TUB BEB
respectfully refers the whole matter to
John H. Roagnu , chairman of the house
committee on commerce.
TUB Nebraska state board of agricul
ture will hold ita annual meeting in Lin
coln next week , and will then determine
the location of the next Btato fair. It is
hoped that Omaha will bo on hand and
offer inducements that will secure the
fair in this city not only for ono year but
for a period of years. As a matter of
fact Omaha ought not to bo called upon
to offer any great extra inducements , as
this is the only city in the state where
the fair can bo made n financial success.
Wo hare the accommodations and the
people , and our location is the most con
venient for all parts of the state.
These superior advantages ought
in themselves to bo mifficiont
inducement to the state board
of agriculture to locate the fair in Omaha.
Besides , the location in Omaha will bo in
accordance with the wishes of the great 1t
majority of the people of the state , who
believe that the fair should bo held at
the metropolis. However , wo advise
those of our citizens who are actively in
teresting themselves in this matter to
offer every reasonable inducement for the
fair to the state board , notwitlistanding
the superior advantages of Omaha. Lin
coln will make extraordinary efforts to
capture it , and if she succeeds it will bo
by guaranteeing to make up any financial
deficit that may occur , and besides this
offering inducements equal to these of
Omaha in every respect , but she will bo
unable to carry out ho ; promises if she
makes such an offer.
The Pawnee Jtcpubllcan , a leading
Suuth Platte paper , nays :
The etato board of agriculture ia con
sidering the matter of removing the state
fair next year to Lincoln. There can bo
no material benefit derived from such a
course. Omaha is equally accessible to
the south and west part of the state as
Lincoln ; besides it has hotel accommo
dations sufficient for all who may deairo
to attend , and is a nlaco of natural
importance. Omaha has a powerful
metropolitan proas that will advertise
the fair for all who go , and keep all
posted in the proceedings do not go.
The fair is u bigger institution than
Lincoln is , and the past features on the
part of the capital ought to teach the
managers to lot the fair wisely remain
where it now is ,
SENATOR VAN WVOK continues to
make himself hoard. The Washington
correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press aays ;
It' ia a very tame day in the senate
when Ingalls and Van Wyok cannot have
a tilt on the railroad land grant
question. To-day the Nebraska senator
called up his resolution to direct the sec
retary of the interior to abstain from is
suing certificates or patents to the Now
Orleans it Pacific Hallway company. Mr.
Ingalls thought it would bo bettor to "re
quest" the action than to "direct" it.

Congressmen Herbert , of Alabama , ia
making a move in the right direction ,
Its investigation of abuses of the fee
system by federal officers opens n big
iold for reform , It is a notorious fact
.hat federal officials who depend upon
'oca AS compensation work the systorn for
all there is in it , and in many instances
they thuj make for themselves a much
argor salary than they are entitled to.
It will bo remembered that two years
ago it came out that Middloton , clerk of
the supreme court at Washington , had
been for years making twenty thousand
dollars per annum , or twice as much as
the salary received by the chief justice.
It will list bo denied that United States
marshals and their deputies concoct all
aorta of schemes to work up foes. Con
grcssmrm Herbert , among the numerous
abuses referred to in his own state , cited
the case of a man who was brought 100
miles before a United States court
charged with having cut timber on land
belonging to the government. The
witness against him was the man who
entered the complaint and who rocoivcd
witness foes and travelling expenses
When placed upon the stand , ho swore to
the facts in the cose and also testified
that ho know that the cutting took place
so long before that the caao wasoutlawod.
It was dismissed , but the United States
had to pay n considorabln sum.
Such cases are not confined to Alabama
alone , but can bo found in almost every
state and territory. It is not at all un
likely that congress will abolish the foe
ays torn , and fix salaries for federal
officers , and hold them accountable for
every cent received aa fees. It is high
time also that the fco system should bo
done nway with among county officials in
the varioua states. Every county office
should bo made a salaried office , and the
officials should not bo allowed to have
the benefit of ono cent of the foes ,
Under our present system several of the
moat important county officials in No
braaka receive salaries and at the same
time have the privilege of disburaing tin
foes of their office. Every foe should
bo " , turned into the treasury , and t
strict fee account kept by the difforeu
officials. There ia no tolling how mud
certain county officials pocket over and
\ above their fixed salaries.

CITY WALKS AND TALKS.
"While at the Harrisou-Saundon
wedding , at Trinity Cathedral , " said ex.
Senator Paddock , " ! was reminded of the
first marriage in a church in Omaha. It
was twenty-four years ago. " "Whoso
marriage was it , governor ? " asked the
BKB'S Man About Town. "My own. It
took place in Trinity church , a small
brick structure yet standingat the south
west corner of Farnam and Ninth streets ,
and is now called the Tivoli. It has long
boon used as a boor hall. When wo cele

aon-Saundors wedding reception. "Edi
tors are such favored persons at weddings.

particulars in advance of everybody olao. "
"Thoro are moro favored persons than

are they ? " asked the lady. "Tho minis

aho. "The minister kisses the bride , "
replied ho , "and the editor only takes

7"If thoio is anything I detest it is the
habit of grown-up persons , and particu
larly of men , kissing little children , " said
a lady in a street car the other day after
a young man , whoso breath amolled of
whisky , had kissed her pretty littly child
good-bye , and left the car. "Just think
of mon with breath made foul by whisky ,
boor and tobacco , and other vile stuff ,
kissing innocent little children in the
mouth and tainting their sweet lips and
breath with poison. I Loliove that dis
ease is often communicated to children
in Una way , and although it might seem
rude 1 think mothers would bo perfectly
justi'lcd in putting a stop to the prom-
iscuous kissing of their children. "
- "I BOO that the man who woa in
the Ouster massacre and survived the
scalping process lias turned up again in
the eastern papers , and is getting consid
erable notoriety , " remarked an ox conductor -
ductor of the Union Pacific to the BBK
Man About Town. " 1 know of Two or
throe cases of men being scalped and sur
viving the operation. There's Tom
Cahoon , who has boon conductor on the
Union Pacific almost since it started , and
who is yet on the west end , vrhoro ho has
boon for years Ono day , in the summer
of 1808 , Tom Cahoon and Wilkes Ed-
moiison wont out fishing in Lodge Polo
crook , near Sidney , and they were cor
ralled by a small party of Sious Indiana.
Edmonson was pierced with three arrows
and fell to the ground. The Indians
rushed upon Cahoon , and , scalping him ,
loft him for dead with Edmonson. Why
tlioy didn't scalp Edmonson , I never
learned , Ho may have been bald-headed ,
tor all that I know. 1 know that Cahoon
was bald-headed after the Indiana left
him. Both Cahoon and Edmonson recovered -
covered from their injuries , but Oahoon
never recovered his ncalp. Edmonson is
now on the Central Pacific , The effect of
lie scalping woa to make Cahoon rather
orvons and irritable , and ho doesn't like
o have anybody ask him about his oxper-
nco. The train mon sometimes toll the
lassongcrs about Cahoon having boon
calpcu , and when ho comes through the
rain nnd some traveler attempts to draw
imout on the subjectho feels moro like
iimching the passenger than his ticket ,
' 'or some years after the occurrence ho
, -n.s bothered nlmoat to death in this
way. About the same time that ho waa
; alpcd near Sidney , an Englishman ,
ho waa working on the track near Over-
on , waascnlpod _ and loft for dead , to
gether with two or three others , who
ied. The Englishman , whoso name I
ergot , survived. This fellow had bettor
tick than Cahoon , for ho recovered his
calp. Ho found it a short distance near
, ho place vrhcro the Indian had owned
im , the dfilner having dropped it. The
'ollow catuo 10 Omaha for treatment. I
huik that ho afterwards became parti-
illy insane. Ho was in Omaha for quite
whilo. Dr. Pock treated him , and if
ou'H oak the doctor ho will probably
.ell you moro about the caso. " The BEE
man accordingly interviewed Dr. Pock on
.ho subject , and learned some additional
'nets. The Englishman's name waa
Thompson , nnd lie was a largo robust
ian. Ho was brought into Omahn and
10 had his scalp with him. Ho had it in a
itickot of water , and thought iho doctor
ould BOW it on a ain. It was a atrip
about ton inches long , nnd at ono end
five inches wide , it having boon cut from
ho center of the head , from the fore-
bead to the nock. The wound vras a
crriblo ono , the knife having none
rated clear to the bone. The victim
was sick for n long time , owing to n
liigh fovor. Ho was considerably disap
pointed when informed by Dr. Peck that
ho scalp could not bo replaced. The
doctor stretched the scalp on n piece of
board and tanned it for him , nnd when
Thompson recovered ho took it away
ivith him as a "souvenir. "

"Tho principal subject for con
idorntion at our next meeting will bo cold
weather , " said ono of Omaha's old aot-
; lors to THE BKK'.S Man About Town.
'Tho modern population of this city
seem to think that the recent cold snap
waa the coldest weather over known in
Omaha , and _ they appear anxious to
snatch from the pioneers some of the
jlory of having lived through the coldcsl
period over known. The oldeat inhabi
tant proposes to dispute this claim. In
the winter of 1866-57 wo had three
months of weather that would knock the
recent cold snap silly , and make it ap
pear by comparison merely a January
thaw. Twenty-seven yeara ago my ther
mometer went clear down to the bottom
of the well early in .the winter , nnd il
never came up again until late in the
pring , and then it came up in a bucket.
The Missouri river and all wells froze
solid. Wo had to melt snow for our
water , nnd wo didn't dare go out doors to
got the snow. " "How did you got it
then , " the venerable liar waa then , asked.
'Wo ' had a shovel attached to a long
polo , which wo ran out of a small-hole in
the wall , and thus scooped in the snow ,
which waa iivo or aix feet deep. Tunf
nols under the snow were scooped out
from house to house , BO that wo could
crawl around once in a while to our
neighbors and make calls or borrow pro
visions. The tunnel to the old Apex sa
loon was the moat traveled , as hot drinks
wore in demand. When wo didn't feel
like crawling to n grocery , wo would blow
our breath through a hole iu thereof
roof towards the grocery , and in
less than a ' minute wo would
have an icicle between our house and the
grocery store , which was located on an ele
vated spot. The groceryman tied up our
packages of groceries and slid them
down to us on the icicles. It generally
rpquirod the time of four persons to
keep the fire going in each house , night
and day. Three of them were kept
busy sawing wood , and the fourth piled
it into the stove. People nowadays
can hardly believe all this , and I would
not believe it myself had I not passed
through that winter in Omaha. I hope
you will attend our next mooting , and
hoar other old timers relate their exper
ience and compare notes. A. D. Jones
will publish a call for the meeting in a
day or two "
-That Omaha woman who marched
a thief tip to the police court undes cover
of a revolver and delivered him to the
authorities , exhibited more pluck and
presence of mind than ninoty-nino women
ont of a ppssiblo hundred , would Imvo
shown. Most women would either have
fainted at the sight of a thief going
through the bureau , or blown
a police whistle , iu either case allowing
the villain to escape. This plucky wo
. man , however , neither fainted nor blow a
police whietlo , but drawing a revolver
she threatened to blow the follows brains
out , unless ho obeyed her command to
march aa she directed. The fact that
three revolvers were found upon the
thief , when ho was searched in the jail ,
adds to the glory of the capture. This
bravo woman not only merits the
thanks of the entire community , but de
serves a lifo poaition on .the Onmha police
