THE BEE PUBLISHING CO , , PROPS , B. K03EWATER , Editor. TnK womau suffragists continue to pull the coat-tails of congressmen. The latest petition for woman suffrage comes from the strong-minded of Kansas. IP the Mormons could bo annihilated by a gubernatorial message , the volumi nous broadside fired by Governor Murray would como very nearly accomplishing that result. LLuon D. H. WIIKKL-EU , who has been nocrotary of the Nebraska state board of agriculture for fourteen years , declined a re-election. It certainly will bo some thing strange to BCD another man filling that position. EMOTIONAL insanity will bo the defense in the trial of young NuU for the killing of Dukes , the traducer of his sister and the inurdoror of his fathor. It will pro bably win. in this case. Justifiable in- nanity would bo a moro appropriate term. KANSAS CITY does not propose to got loft in the matter of congrosssional appropriations. Representative Graves Jhao introduced a bill appropriating $200- 000 for the improvement of the Mis souri river at that point. Omaha ought to ask for nothing loss , although she might bo satisGod with half this amount. NOTWITHSTANDING the roductioj in postage the total receipts are only ono and M three-tenths per cent loss than they were for the corresponding quarter of last year , when letter postage won one-third higher than it is now. This shows a largo in crease in the postal business of the coun try. The receipts of the postal depart ment will bo sufficient to pay all ex pense * . Ir has boon discovered that the bill under which the Mississippi river com mission was organised makes no refer ence t > the Missouri or its tributaries. This oversight will probably bo remedied by the introduction and passage of a bill creating a Missouri river commission. The representatives of the otato of Mis souri are now consulting tha members t."i . from Kansas , Nebraska and Western Iowa in regard to this matter. TUG aovoral Chicago medical colleges Imvo been the moans of making that city quite a market for human bodies for the dissecting tables. The recent arrest of aovoral body-snatchora have caused a temporary scarcity in "stiffs" and a cor responding increase in price , about 150 per cent. The enterprising Chicago newspspers out to publish the daily quotations of "atifb' in their market re ports , as they have become a marketable commodity. telegraph company hus boon incorporated. It is called the Standard Multiple , and , with a capital stock of $2,500,000 , it proposes to string its wires all over the country. Mathema > ticians are now engaged in figuring out * ! < Low much money will \havo \ to bo opont and how long it will bo before the Mul tiple is sold to the Western Union at n .handsome profit. S.VELL , who killed the Wright woman Tit Oroft'a road-house , was released on 2,500 boil yesterday. Instead of giving Jus victim a tlocont burinl , as ho had promised , and which ho vran abundantly able to do , ho oklpped out for Valentino and left her to bo buried at the erponsc of somebody else , probably the county. The undertaker had kept her body at hit request , as ho had expressed the doairc of giving her a decent burial. His con duct does not confirm the impression which ho took great pains to create , tlm ho was grief-stricken over the woman'i death. It would eecm that ho reall ; didn't cure any moro about shooting he : than if she had boon some iioor dog. Mr Snell acted indiscreetly , to Bay the least and the cruel abandonment of his victin will not bo forgfltton whoa ho ia brough to trial. TUB Denver papers are making considerable orablo fun of a Mr. Orpfutt , who ha como to that city with a proposition ti build an elevated railroad. Mr. Orofut claims to have a million dollars to bad the enterprise. The Tflbwio regrets ti say that Ids proposition to spend a rail lion in Denver has not been received witl enthusiasm by reason of a painful doub on the part of a suspicious public as ti his possession of the million so far h lias only drawn checks on his jaw , am though ho has an unlimited deposit there it is not legal tender. It is evident that although Denver may bo ambitious , nh doesn't want any elevated railroad. Tin only elevated roods that she cares for art those leading up into the mountains. Mr Crofutt 2s advised to shake the dust o Denver from Ids feet and como to Omahi and invest Jus million in the Omaha 13ol railway , which needs an tlovatiou of thl ( dad. CONSTITUTIONAL TINKERS. The present congress includes quite a number of astute gentlemen who believe that the constitution of the United States requires a great deal of tinkering , although during a period of over ninety years it has boon amended only three times. Twonty-ono amendments to the constitution have boon introduced in the house and eight in the senate. It scorns a little singular that so many defects should have boon so suddenly discovered in our constitution which hai so well served the purposes for which it was framedIf the amendment business is carried out the constitution will be longer than the moral law , and a pur.zlo that will require the combined talents of the mobt eminent constitutional lawyers to unravel. It is safe to say , however , that the constitution will not bo amended to any great extent , although proposed amendments may bo submitted to the vote of the people. Public sentiment is un doubtedly against constitution tinkering. The representatives of the people have no doubt been called on to introduce theio amendments , and in most instances they have very likely done so simply out of courtesy to the petitioners. The vari ety of ideas embodied in the twenty-nine iroposcd amendments affords an inter- ting study. Senator Wilson wants UZOIIB of the United States protected i their rights and privi'ogos and immu- itios and assured the equal protection of ho laws. So do Messrs. Koifor , O'Oara , rown of Pennsylvania , and Mackoy. onator Blair proposes to prevent the anufacturo , importation and sale of pirits after 1000 , and Doustor , of Win- in , on the ground that all men are nvostcd with certain inalienable rights , ould prohibit the states and territories era abridging the manufacture and sale i any article composed in whole or > art of any product of the soil. Senator utlor wants to insert the word "nativ- ; y" before the words "race , color or rovioua condition of servitude. " Mr. ollins has a similar amendment. Son- tor George would have no money paid ut beyond the original amount appro- riatcd for any purpose , Senator Lap- am believes in giving the president ewer to vote separata items of appro- nation bills. Representatives Throck- morton , Womple , Payson , Davis , of Illi- iois , and Cox , of North Carolina , have vinced a similar desire. Senator Lap- am desires to confer upon woman the ight to voto. White , of Kentucky , ffors a similar resolution. To give the resident power to vote items of the Ivor and harbor bill in Senator Morgan's oairo. Senator Voorhoos wants post masters , revenue collectors , marshals , udgos and district attornoya elected iy the pooplo. Bayno , of Pennsylvania , .greea in this , save as regards judges. Calkins of Indiana proposes a civil rights .mondment. . Herbert of Alabama would imit the house to 301 members. Springer > f Illinois wants to take away from con gress everything except the enactment of general laws. Beach of Now York pro poses to abolish the power to give any person or persons exclusive privileges and franchises ; also , that the government shall not loan its credit or money to any irivato undertaking. Thomas of Illinois dosirea to prohibit bigamy and polygamy , M does Gen. Pvosocrans , who in his pre amble condemns polygamy for its con- ravontion of reason , its injustice to wo men , ito degrading influence on the female - male sex , its brutalizing effects on the male BOX and its general repugnance to the spirit of modern freedom. General Jrownoll of Indiana proposes to elect the president and vice-president by direct popular vote , and Townshond of Illinois wants senators chosen by the pooplo. car Turner thinks the yeas and naya should bo called on all appropriation ! of moro than 810,000. Hutchiiu of Now York would give the major ity power to pass a bill over the prcsi < dent's vote , instead of two-thirds. Itca < gan of Texas wants to apportion dirocl taxes according to property and not pop. illation of the wtates , Davis of MUESH. chusotts proposes t ) give congress povroi to limit the time in which mill operative ! may bo daily employed , and Ray of Now York wants uniform laws throughout the country regulating marriage and divorce , The probability is that of these amend' monts the only ones that will receive the most thorough consideration and per haps bo warmly discussed are these relating ing to civil rights , and it is not unlikolj that a civil rights amendment will bo sub milled to the pooplo. It is very likely also that the prnposoc amendments as to bigamy and polygamy will bo carefully considered , and wi should not bo surprised to see congro.v conclude to submit to the people an nnti polygamy amendment. TAIL twisting is becoming quite fash ionable. The British lion , having hat his tail twisted nearly out of joint bj Irish-Americans , is now laughing at tin American hogwhoao tail has been severe ly twisted by Franco and Germany. Con grcu , however , will soon take the twist on of thoporciuo caudal appendage. Tliohof question was the subject of considerable debate in the senate on Tuesday. Mr , Logan spoke strongly in favor of retail * tory measures. Mr. Vest was of the opinion that a thorough system of inspuo tion would set matters right. Mr , lugalls stated that the herds of this coun try were moro or loss affected \vitl pleuro-pnoumoniu , and he believed thai the people of foreign countries had aright to protect themselves. Mr. Maxoy , o : Texas , maintained that if it bo true thai our meat is unhealthy , the position o Franco and Germany is impregnable The discussion will bring out the facts and congress is acting wiso'y ' in proceed ing olowly and cautiously in this matter , The retult will probably bo the establish mcnt of a thorough eyatem of iuspectloi and when Franco and Germany are as sured that this will bocarricd [ out they no doubt will remove the embargo on Amer ican meats. STATK SCANDAL. The state of Nebraska has boon scan dalized on various oc uiions , whenever contracts for public buildings have been let , or any largo quintity of land belong ing to the state has been appropriated or disposed of. As far back as the cam paign of 188U this paper called attention to the school land ring which was fos tered by Land Commissioner Kendall , who aided it in absorbing great tracts of land which are the patrimony of our children. As usual the corporation or gans and jobbers at Lincoln and Omaha branded our statement as a campaign lie , although our authority was no less a person than lion. Lcandcr Gerard , of Columbus. Wo had taken the measure of this man Kendall moro than ton years go , when ho waa an active partner in 10 old surveyor's ring , of which Boss unninghom was the head , nnd now the uirgo is made directly by the Coarnoy'row that the contract 'or ' the now state reform school luilding , for which the legislature up ropriatcd 800,000 , has boon fraudulent y lot through the board of public lands , iul building , of which Kendall is chair' ' rain. Wo republish the article and eave the public to draw ita own conclu ions. Some members of the board may o innocent of any design to defraud and t will bo their business to clear their Idrts. Kendall is now serving his sec- nd and last term , and probably , like thcr political desperadoes , cares nothing 'or ' public opinion or the conscqucnco nloss it were criminal prosecution and unishmont. By tin time Kendall caves his office it will bo made manifest , hat ho has feathered his nest pretty well , and the worst feature of it will bo , hat the state school lands have passed nto the hands of a lot of speculators , nd sharks through his manipulations , t is just such rascals that have made , ho republican party in this state odious , and make honest men ashamed to con- 'ess ' that they over belonged to it. It nay bo asked with propriety , where is .ho . governor of Nebraska ? Why does ho allow such job ! to go on without tak- ng some stops to prevent them ? Why does ho not stop the construction of a build ing that is liable to become the grnvo- ard of scores of boys and girla ? TIIK STATK PAIK. The state board of agriculture lias located the state fair for 1884 at Omaha , and in doing so it acted wisely , and per haps treated Omaha a little bettor than she deserved. The only formal proposi tion from this city came from the Omaha Driving Park association , over the signa ture of J E. Boyd , president. This proposition offered the grounds for five years , the state board to keep the grounds and buildings in repair , and to pay for their use ton per tent of the receipts. The board could not consider this propo sition for a moment , inasmuch as Lincoln offered very liberal inducements. The board finally adoptedalmostuuonimously a resolution locating the fair at Omahafor ono year , taking advantage of the fact that it had the option of the grounds for ono moro year on the same terms as it had in 1883. It was the intention of the board to have located the fair for five years , but it was concluded not to do this until next year. Had Omaha put in a liberal proposition , backed by a sufficient num ber of responsible citizens , she could easily have secured the fair for the period of five years. It is to bo regretted that this was not dono. However , it is hoped that next year Omaha will take early stops in this matter , and when the time comes put in n proposition that will bo satis factory. The light will , as usual , bo be tween Omaha and Lincoln , and the latter city will leave no stone unturned to win the prize. Thcro is too much indiffer ence manifested by Omahu in regard to the state fair , and wo say again that she has been bettor treated this year than she really deserved. ' IT is hoped that when the capacious maw of the Father of Waters has boon satisfied , the Nebraska delegation will re mind congress that the Big Muddy needs considerable tinkorinvand that an appro priation for the protection and improve ment of the river front at Omaha will be appreciated by the people of this city. MONTANA will find it a difficult mattei to bo admitted as a state. The admis. siou of a territory depends mainly upon ono thing , and that ia vrhethoi its political complexion it in nccor dance with the politics of the majority - ity in congress. Montana must bo prepared < pared to provo at the proper time that she is on the side of the majority. IT is stated by the St. Joe ( lasctte that coal in inexhaustible quantities lies be neath that city. It scorns strange to the Gazette that the business men of St. Joe cannot be made to see the advantages that accrue from the development oi coal resources. A proposition to bore for coal has boon made , but as the sum of 85,000 is asked for to help the enterprise along , it is not very likely that any coal miuus will bo discovered in or near St. Joo. The ( } actle says ; The discovery of coal in 8t. Joseph means n nonr imputua to trade nnd man ufftctorius , a city of a hundred thousand inhabitants before the coming of 1890 , and an onlmncoimnit of value of every foot of real estate in the city at least onu hundred per cent , T.ike Bates county 03 an oxauiplo. Only u few years ago no railroad unluix'd her confines , Shu had no town of any consequence , HI id lands sold for a moro song. All at once it was demonstrated that marly the cutiru county was undorl.itd with coal. Rail roads were projected acid built at once , and a town near the centre of the vast fields sprung up as if by magic , and was called Rich Hill. That town , or rather city now , contains nearly 20,000 inhabitants , and is unquestionably the most thrifty and enterprising place in all the Now West. Rich Hill numbers her manufactories by the score , and her mil lionaires , all poor men a few years ago , by the dozens. It is estimated that 2uO coal mines are now in full blast in Bates county , and that the capital employed is 81,000,000. Fifty thousand tons of coal is ho average output of the mines near Rich Hill. These being facts , is it not a little strange that St. Joseph , though her coal may lie a little lower , should not take the hmtf TIIK TKXAS FKNCi : H'AJt. The state of Texas has bcon virtually fenced in with barbed wire by the largo cattle owners , and the result is a general fence-cutting war. Most of the fence- cutting in charged up to the borders or low-boys , whoso occupation is ruined by onces. A cattle-herd that is fenced in yjeda no herders. The cow-boys , how- vcr , are not the only ones who wo on- ; agcd in this warfare. It appears that ho ranchmen have erected their wire larriers in unbroken lines for moro than .on milci at a stretch , closing established ines of travel and having very few , if any , openings for horses and wagons. The consequence is that any ono finding a wire fence obstructing iiis usual course naturally applies : ho nippers nnd makes an opening 'or his team and wagon , rather than drive round the enclosure , perhaps a distance < f live or ton miles. These fences have become such a nuisance that bands of 'onco-cuttors have boon organized to cut hem down. The result has boon the destruction of a great deal of property nd considerable fighting and bloodshed. The most bitter and hostile fooling prevails - vails between the different factions , and excitement runs high. Owing to the awlessness that has arisen from the : once troubles , properly has depreciated , business has bccomo parayod ! and im migration has boon chocked. Of course there are ivo sides to this question , as there is to almost every controversy. It is claimed by the fence cutters that no ono has a right to fence in large tracts of land for pasturage alone , us grazing lands , they assort , are common until cul tivated. They seem to think that al though the ranchmen own these largo tracts they cannot erect barb wire fences in such a way as to inconvenience the public , and in this they maybe bo right. The public should bo al lowed passage through these tracts o : land by roads at frequent and convenient intervals. This , however , would neces sitate a great deal of additional fencing , and , of course , the ranchmen object to the expense oa well as to the cutting up of their tracts into several separate pas turca , as would have to bo done if the public were allowed to travel over the country. AH the trouble arises from the disposal of enormous tracts of land with out retaining for the public reasonable rights of way. The legislature of Texas i now wrestling with the problem. While they may make f onco-cuttingn felony , the ; should on the other hand devise some means of remedying the evils arising from the fencing of miles upon miles o territory. Of course where the publi domain has boon fenced in , there is no question as to the illegality of sucl fences. It cannot bo denied that before the disposal of the state lands the people of Texas had certain rights and particu larly the rights of way over these lands and when they were sold in immense tracts , the state officials ought to have foreseen the trouble- that would naturally follow if rights of way for public trave were not provided. The probability is that the Texas legis latnro will repeal a'l ' laws permittin ; companies to bo chartered for the purpose of purchasing land , provided such action comes within the purview of the govern or's proclamation convening the extra session. There is n difference of opinion however , on this point. It is safe to sa ; that Komo bill covering the fonco-cuttinj question will bo passed. TUP. Denver thermometer of happines varies with the changes in the Utai Traffic association. Ono day she i happy over the restoration of tariff rates and the next day she grieves over th renewal of cut rates. On Monday th thermometer dropped , as will bo soon b ; the following from Tuesday's Tribune The cut rates on Utah trade have been resumed. As soon as the chamber o commerce gets in working order it shouh make every effort to secure an extra BOB aion of the legislature and have som striugent railway legislation passed a once. This is the only way to got gooi treatment. The people must force it their appeals have no effect. _ As wo have said before an extra ses sion offers the ono way of relief , any how. At the regular session there wil ho a senatorial race and many other dutructing matters , and votes that wouh ordinarily bo cast for the legUIatioi needed will be traded off for all sorts o purposes and measures. A special sus sion , during which every member's action can bo closely scrutinized and be hole accountable , will result in action whicl will bo effective. The Stain llelorm School. Kearney 1'rws. A man named Van Alstyno has the contract for building the now reform school building at Kearney. Why ho got the contract after building the origi nal building in so worthless a manner that it would lm > o blown down had not Dr. 0. W. Coljins had the upper part made comparatively safe , is moro than we can toll , except it was becauuo a good pokur player and faro bucker would be moro likely to divide up with the board , than a man or men who devoted all their time to legitimate busmoss aud their families. The contract should have been lot to other parties who made bids to do the work in accordance with the plaun and specifications of the architect , but the board of public lands and buildings changed the specification and plaua and ot the work to Vnn Ahlyno without , tjain cdvortiaing for proposals , nnd ) uildors hereabouts say there is n $14 , * 100 steal in the building , na it is proposed 4) orcct it. The mnin building is a large no nnd is to bo Unco stories high , and ot there is not to bo n crtm wall in it. from the collar to the top between the main building and tlio wings it is to bo un up with studding , and lathed and > laatorcd. This building will sot up high > n the bluff , and bo exposed to the blasts f very strong winds , without any solid walls to give it strength. In fact , the ttvto of Nebraska is committing the rime , through its board of public lands nd buildings , n trap for the pur * io o of the destruction of many HTCS n ho future , by cithur lire or wind , and t is being done , in our humble opinion , n enable the contractor and the ring , to ividfl tibmit 914,000 as spoils , between hoin. I'll la 13 being done rcgardlces of ho fuel , that in future , it may result in list such a dreadful disaster as the ono which occurred at Belleville the other lay. With only the four outside walls lothing would stop the rapid progress of ire , when it was once started , or in a ligh wind there would bo no adequate upport inside , for the outside walla , and .he whole structure would bo liable to collapse , and destroy the lives of the in- natoa. Wo are informed by n builder .hat this contract was lotto Van Alstyno ) y a trick on the part of the board and t certainly appears to us that some legal remedy should bo applied to stop the erection of this building in the way and wanner in which it is proposed to erect t. It is the duty of every paper in No- jraaka regardless of politics , to speak out against this wrong and demand that § 50- )00 ) bo not thrown away on n structure- milt to become the tomb in future of lundrcds of boys and girls , that Van Al styno inay fatten at the public crib and divy with Glenn , Kendall and Company , 'or wo do notboliovo that Kendall or the joard are permitting such a building to 30 erected unless they are sharing in the spoils. Kendall and the board of pub ic lauds and buildings have leased over 400,000 acres of school lands to a syndi cate , and -10,000 acres to ono man , thus depriving actual settlers from secur ing them without paying a largo profit to the syndicate , and after doing this sol emnly resolve that they hare acted in bad faith and will do BO no more. By the resolutions they passed , they admit ted then : solves to bo official scoundrels , who now , after the lands have been leased , propose to reform and share the profits of their former misdeeds. These gentlemen will ulljbo candidates for re election and the people will bo fully in formed when the time comes , how those school lands have boon manipulated. There are ugly facts connected with them , \v Inch cannot bo explained away. Lands have been leased to the syndicate at lower rates than was bid by the settlers , and a time of reckoning is coming. Right hero we desire to propound a few questions to Glenn Kendall , land com missioner : Mr. Kendall , did the state of Nebras ka , through you as agent , every buy a safe of the St. Paul Phonograph ofhce , and causa it to bo shipped to the Kear ney state reform school , by a citizen of St. Paul ? Did you ship from the city of Lincoln , and from the land commissioner's office , a fine largo safe , to your brother at St. Paul , who is owner , with you , of the St. Paul Phonograph 1 If you did , did not that safe belong to the state of Nebraska , and were you not ordered to send it to the state reform school at Kearney. Why did you send a small safn from St. Paul to Kearney , which did not belong - long to the state , but waa either your own or your brother's property , and send the state's safe to your brother ? How much was the money value dif ference between safes , and have you paid it over to the state of Nebraska ? Was this an attempt to steal from the state , the difference between the prices of the safes ? Wo are reliably informed that you sent a safe from St. Paul to the reform school here , and the safe you wore ordered to send hero , you sent to St. Paul. You oven tried , or had it tried , to obliterate the lettering on the safe , Why ? Bid the other member of the board of public lands and buildings consent to this transaction , and will they aid you in explaining how state property may be appropriated to private uses ? Air. Kendall , the Press desires to bo fair , and will gladly publish your replies to these questions , after which wo have some more in regard to wrapping pro posals for school lands in green paper.
