CINCINNATI lost her court house and
fifty lives , but she still has her jailful of
murdorors.
A FEW weeks ago there was norao talk
of taking stops to abolish the Ohio mil !
tia. The Cincinnati riot has probably
forever put an end to any such move
ment.
A NEW YOKK plumber has boon fined
$250 for doing bad work. ' Thia would

MK BLISS charged at the rnto

wore so long drawn out.
A MOVEMENT is now on foot in Now
Yorktotnako the comptrollership again

' whether the elective or the appointive
system gives greater dissatisfaction in the

THE new cabs which nro to run for 2D

hitherto charged in the city.
ENGLISH merchants are viewing the
aggressions of Portugal in the Congo
country with great alarm' The idea of
any other country than England having
any kind of a chance at foreign posses

FRAME JAMES is about to bo tried at
Huntsville , Ala. As Alabama has been
known to show some remote signs of civ

citizen may this time got something like
justice.
COLONEL VALENTINK BAKER , now
known as Baker Pasha , is endeavoring to
I'f bo reinstated in the English army , from
which he was dismissed some years ago
for assaulting a lady in a railway car. It
ia rather singular that a largo number of
English women are now voluntarily as-
uisting the gallant pasha in his effort for
reinstatement.
IT is predicted that the river and har
bor bill this year will net call for moro

if they will lot the treasury off with only
$15,000,010 of plunder.

TUK LmiBMTVnVS WORK.
The session of the Iowa legislature ,
which came to an end yesterday , was
more remarkable for the quality than for
ho quantity of the work it performed.
A.n extraordinary amount of time was
filtered away in idle discussions nnd va
poring * . An a result , the taxpayers have
, n unusual number of unpasacd bills to
lontemplato. There are between 300
nnd 400 bills in the sonata and between
iOO and 700 in the house which wcro not
acted uoon at all. Some of thcso wore
if the greatest importance. They wore
icglcctod , however , in the useless squab-
ilos over * ho prohibition bills and a few
ithor loading measures.
Besides the prohibitory legislation ,
which was of n severity that almost
amounted to ferocity , the most promi
nent work of the session consisted
I railroad legislation of ono kinder
or another. It was a railroad
egislaturo , and the lobby W&H present In
unusual forco. A shamolossncss was din-
ilaycd in influencing members to vote
'or the interests of the railroads like
nothing soon before in the elate. The
obby appeared on the floor whenever a
railroad bill was up and oponlydirocted
.ho votes of members. A number of bills
restricting railroad extortion were killed
, t sight. 0thoro wore permitted to die
ho death in committees. Among the
measures thus suffocated was ono prohib
ting railroads to charge moro for n short
mill than for a long ono. Another waste
to forbid discrimination between different
customers on car-lot lots. Another waste
to compel all corporations doing business
n Iowa to incorporate under the laws of
, ho state , in order that they might bo
sued thoro. Another anti-monopoly bill
wh'ch was defeated wan ono to compel all
.olcgraph companies to iurnish the
same Borvico to all customers at the
same rato. This was copied after
the Nebraska law , and was killed in
atantly. On the other hand , a law por-
nitting railroad companies to condemn
an unlimited amount of land around
their depots , or to secure right of way
.hrough cities was passed. It places every
ery city in the state at the mercy of any
ru'road company that may enter it. The
nil was passed mainly at the instance of
.ho Chicago & Northwestern railroad to
enable it to enter West Dos Moinos. It
s as bad a piece of legislation as can bo
maginod. A bill was passed to nomi
nally increase the powers of that glaring
raud , the railroad commission. In real
ty , it amounta to absolutely nothing.and
will have no moro effect than water on a
duck's back.-
The appropriations made were pretty
iboral. Thcro was ono of $200,000 for
i now insane asylum , $80,000 far the
, ho state university , comfortable sums to
the other ntato institutions , and
other drains on the state revenue
down to § 5,000 to help the farmers
ight the barbed wire monopoly. Bucket
shops and the buying'and selling of grain
were prohibited. The crazy proposition
.hat the state go into the nchool book
) usiness was laid out stiff nnd cold. A
aw was .passed changing school districts
> ack to conform -with civil townships. It
a not likely to give satisfaction , and
hero nro already complaints uttered
against it. An excellent bill to tax the
> roporty of churches and private schools
was passed in the senate , but unfortu
nately defeated in the houso. It was
irovidod by law that hereafter all child
ren in the public schools are to bo freely
iducatod as to the injurious effects ol
alcohol and tobacco upon the human , sys-
; em. Why they are not also to bo in
formed as to the evils of using other
aaloful articles of drink or diet docs nol
appear. Ono of the most unfortunate
steps of the session was the defeating o !
.ho board of charities act. This
proposed to put all the charit
able nnd reformatory institutions of the
state under the direction of ono board 01
competent persons. At present each in
stitution ia managed by a separate bonn
of trustees paid by the stato. The bil
would have reduced tlu number of ofli-
cors from forty-five or fifty to nine , with
corresponding caving to the taxpayers. A
( rent number of memorials to oongrors
in behalf of pension applicants were
passed unanimously. Ihoy woroamarkoc
feature of the aeesion. A memorial in
Favor of restoring the tariff duty upon
wool was happily sot down upon in the
moit nummary manner. The sale of
petroleum oils was regulated. Hero if tor
severer testa will bo applied , and the
dealers will bo required to pay the expenses -
penses of an inspector. The sale of low
grade oils , which havp hitherto boon
freely vended , is prohibited. This is a
alight blow to the Standard Oil company ,
which has boon running in poor quality
of oils. A law taxing dogs
won also passed at the importunity of the
wool-growers , It dovotoa the proceeds
of the tax to pay for snoop killed by
dogs. To the qroat surprise of almost
all observers , the woman suffrage amend
ment , which passed tlu > senate , was de
feated in the house by a small majority.
It will oumo up again at the next session ,
when a moro determined effort will be
made to pass it.
With the prohibiting laws and penal
ties enacted , the readers of TUB BEE
have beeu made familiar from time to
time. They will form a rich legacy for
omo future legislature , when time ahull
luvo shown their uielu'anoss , to repeal.
Iris reported from Washington that
no legislation on the subject of patents
is at all likely to pass at the present sea-
5on of congress. The general belief that
some atop was noout to be taken which
would destroy the monopolies created by
existing patents is unfounded. A major
ity of the aenatu is undoubtedly in favor
of gioatly relaxing the laws. But the
committee on patents , by which the action -
tion o ! the senate will be guided , Is op.
> OBcd to such a course. It ia even stated
hat certain members of that committco
iavo agreed to favor n law making it a
criminal offense , punishable by imprison-
mcnf , to infringe on a patent. Relict
rom the oppressive features of the pres
ent law which builds up huge monopolies
to prey on the public , is therefore scarce-
y for the present.
ELECTION FRAUDS.
Among the needed reforms which the
citizens of Omaha , regardless of party ,
should demand at the hands of the next
ogislaturo is a radical revision of the
election laws. The most glaring nnd out
rageous frauds perpetrated nt lost Tues
day's election were committed through
the fast nnd loose system of swearing in
men's votes. This swearing in votes by
affidavit has bccomo an incentive to
wholesale perjury. Men who have not
ivcd in the atato thirty days , and men
who do not comprehend the nature of nn
affidavit were taken from ward to ward nnd
voted. An examination of the affidavits in
thoballotbox willrovoal the fact that moro
than one-third of all the votes polled
were sworn in , ns it is termed , and thcso
affidavits will also show the most outrag
eous villainy on the part of citizens who
vouched for hundreds of people whom
they did not know , nnd criminal recklessness -
ness on the part of notaries in making
out the bogus affidavits , which show on
their face that the notaries know that
they were frauds. Under this system of
swearing our registration is a mere
sham. Non-residents could not easily
got their names on the register without
running the risk of exposure , but any
ward bummer , who works aw election for
pay , is ready to vouch for thorn. The
notaries ask no questions , and the judges
of election entertain no challenge. By
that sysom aliens who have not taken
out their first papers , nnd vagrants who
have no fixed abode nro allowed to vote ,
and their votes frequently turn the scale
in the moat important elections. Pri
marily the blame lies with the registrars ,
mayor nnd council. The position
of registrar is of such high importance
that uono but the most competent and
conscientious men should bo chosen. In
stead of that , with ono or two exceptions ,
our registrars have boon incompetent and
indisposed to live up to the letter of the
law. They do not give ample notice to
the voters , and do not ait regularly na re
quired. Of course they nro not to blame
for being compelled to advertise in a
roadorlosa paper. The council alone is
responsible for that The result is that
nearly one-half of our citizens have not
registered because they do not know
when and where to register ,
and are not inclined to
become subscribers to n paper , which they
do not want , merely to keep themselves
informed about registration. But the
greatest latitude for fraud is afforded by
the law which does not compel the judges
of election to entertain a challenge when
a party comes to vote under an affidavit.
Here ia where reform is most needed. No
person who neglects to register should bo
allowed to vote without the most search
ing safe-guards against fraud. All for
oign-born voters , who have neglected to
register , should bo required to present
their papers , and no affidavit should bo
accepted , unless it is made "oforo an offi
cer expressly commissioned for that pur
pose , with authority to require answers
under oath as to the eligibility and residence -
donco of the applicant. Had such rca
aonablo restrictions been in force , it is
safe to aay that one-third of these who
voted on affidavits would have boon ex
cluded.
Now THAT time and the aubsidenco ol
excitement give a chance for cool reflec
tion , the behavior of the authorities in
the Cincinnati riots is being bitterly con
demned. Going back over the course ol
events , s't is very clear that if the sheriff ,
the mayor and the governor had actct
with anything like discretion or gooc
sense , nearly all of the bloodshed ant
violence might have been avoided. In
the first place , it was not necessary to
call out the military at all. In the next
place , when the soldiers were out , shoot
ing down the people in cold blood was
the very worst thing in the world the }
could have done. Great numbers of in
nocout men and women were mur
dercd or wounded by the militia with
out n shadow of excuse. The mob was
at first not disposed to do violence
and probably would have done none
the authorities had not behaved like
fools. Gov , Hoadley properly comes infer
for a largo share of this blamo. Instead
of going to Cincinnati to see for himseli
what was best to bo done , ho contented
himself with skulking in Columbus , ask
ing for the latest news , and making bac
worne by ordering moro troops to the
front. The mayor and sheriff lout their
heads from the very start The mob
comprised many very good people. II
the authorities had showed that they re
lied upon them to abstain from violence ,
there would have been no violence. II
was the presence of the military to over
awe the o who were ordinarily good and
law-abiding citizens which stung them to
madness. The rest followed as a matter
of course.
A CORONER'S jury at Koodhouse , III
has just set a notable example to all
juries that may come after it. A poor
yaidnmn in the employ of the Chicago &
Alton mtlroad was coupling cars ono
night. His clothing was caught in a
silvered rail and ho was thrown down
and killed. The coroner's jury has
astonished the world by finding the rail-
rood company respcnsiblo for the man's
death. Of course this ia not very tnucn.
The railroad company will not suffer in
pocket nor any other way for the man's
murder. The higher courta will .
carefully enough to that. Bat it is Ito I
.
to find aconmer'a jury with { !
courage enough to put the blame exactly
where it belong * .

The KneavfilH Land OriiT ) .
The public is familiar with the facts in
the Kneavals land cases , affecting n largo
number of settlers on the St. Joe & Den
ver land grant. When the bill for the relief -
lief of the settlers cnmo up in the sonata
the other day , Senator Van Wyck made
the following remarks :
SENATOR VAN WYCK. In further ex
planation of the suggestion of the ocnator
from Arkansas , I will say that from this
statement of facts there is no question ns
to the right of the persons settling , pur
chasing , and holding patents from thu
government , and thu duty of the govern
ment toward them. There is no dispute
anywhere in this body or in the depart
ment that this relief should bo had. Thin
cnrtainly is a remarkable- , where the
statute was supposed to bo so plain that
the commissioner of the general land
office and the secretary of the interior ,
and even the common man who was
seeking a homo on the prairies , could
read and understand it fully. Then , nftcr
ton years had elapsed from thn entry the
aottlors were in danger of eviction by the
grantco of a railroad company ; the
supreme court disturbed the patents which
were given by this government by a
m"at remarkably strange decision ; and
the question arises now as to what mode
of relief should bo extended to these
parties. It was at first supposed at a
previous congress that two dollars and n
half per acre would probably satisfy this
claim. Since that time congress has failed
to enact n law. True , a bill was passed
in the Forty-Boventh congress by this
body , but too late to bo acted upon by
the house , BO that it wont over without
final action. Naturally the settlers be
came discouraged. They wanted to save
their homes ; they were pressed by a
supreme court decision from which there
wns no appeal ; nothing stood between
their homes and the process of law to
dispossess then , after ton years of labor
upon these lands , whore children had
boon born and buried. When the mar
shal of the district about to execute the
process was on the way to dispossess
them , then it waa that it became neces
sary in order to save- their possessions
that some further compromiseshould be
mado. Certainly it was' liberal on the
part of the party having the doreo of the
supreme court m his fuvor a settlement
was agreed on at three dollars and a half
per acre ; n generous settlement , because ,
although the decision of the supreme
court was unjust toward the settlers and
toward the government , and was n judi
cial repeal of a solemn act of congress ,
still the claimant hud this decision in his
favor , and I refer to it now ns a tribute
to the generosity and humanity of Mr.
Knuvals that he was willing to concede
land worth $20 or $25 an aero to thu
settlers at three dollars and a half per
acre.
acre.Tho presiding officer. The senator's
time has expired.
MR CALL I would ask the senator
from Nebraska if ho would luo any ob
jection to accepting an amendment nink
ing this bill general in its provisions ? I
see no reason why a man who has bought
lands from the United States nnd whose
title has failed should not in all cases re
cpivo an adequate compensation. Ever
since I have been in the senate I have
had an application pending before the
committee on claims and on file in the
department for the return of money paid
for lands moro than forty * years ago for
the simple return of the money whore
the title failed. It docs not matter
from what cause the United States has
sultl a piece of land to one of its citizens
and the title has failed , there should bo
compensation made ; the money should bu
returned and some interest upon it 1
can see nothing to except this partioular
case from the general equity which re
lates to every one of such cases ; and if
there was no objection I would usk that
thu bill be amended BO as to npply to
every one that has bought lands of the
United States , the title to which has
failed.
MR. VAN WYCK. I agree with the
senator that wo should havnaome law on
that subject , and the vant of it is the
unnt difficulty in all these cases ; but 1
prufi r he should not ask it as an amend
ment to this bill. There has been an ef
fort Hindu in the public lands committee ,
and I think in other cimmittiH's , to
frame a bill which will reach all these
oases. And now I say to my friend , this
would bo a most excellent time , nhen wo
have an overflowing treasury , when wo
are ready to expend our millions on thu
navy , when we are willing to spend mil
lions for a building for u Horary at the
capital , when we are willing to spend
milliunr for educational purposes now
would lie a most proper time for this gov
ernment to do justice , stem justice , to a
class of its citizens upnn whom it hub
always turned its back. I a reo wi h m >
friend that now is the time thut honuat
claimants scattered through the Btatoa
and territories of the west should bn paid
from the treasnay , and a general bill
passed. The world may admire our ( 'on-
oruaitj ; it would atill more admire jun-
tioo.

Hero the quarrel Unessentially n childish
