TUB Cincinnati grand jury hos'mado
an excellent beginning in the wny of reform
form by indicting the most notorious
jury-fixer in the city. Men of hia class
have boon moro responsible for the fail
ures of justice than nny other. They
ought to bo rigorously punished every
where.
THE trade-dollar ia being utilized by
swindlers to defraud immigrants land
ing nt Caatlo Garden. The immigrants
are induced by the sharpers to nxchango
their coin for trado-dollara , which nro
worth only ninety cents. The govern
ment should take immediate slops to put
n stop to this anriudlo.

will bo spent on this enterprise.
JUSTICE is administered in n very pecu

the samu time they ought to investigate
the case of Marks and Schonborgr , the
convicted conQdeiico sharks , who were
released from jail before the expiration
of their sentence , BO that they could attend

Tiir. Missouri stnto board of equalise

iho year 1884. The railroad valuations
includu uorno figures of interest. The St.

the Lcavcnworth bridge 8700,000 , and
the Kansas City bridge $700,000. These
bridges are located one-half in Missouri.
The railroads proper nro assessed at rates
varying from S7,2CO to § 14,500 per mile ,
The Wnbash is assessed nt § 10,000 , nnd

The disturbance in commercial and
fmnncinl circles , which nt thin distance
ncoms to bo very threatening , is really
confined to the speculative clats of bus
iness that makes iU headquarters in Wall
street. The crisis was caused by n reck
less spirit of slock gambling nnd the
Inflation of corpornto properly repre
sented by fictitious stocks. The moat
careful inquiry shows that the depression
ia confined to the Atlantic seaboard al
most entirely. While there have been
business failures hero and there in the
middle and western states , they have
been purely local in their character.
They Imvo boon in no way connected
with the Wall street crash , nor are they
to bo compared in magnitude with the
eastern failures. Among the failures in
in the wc.st , the moat important ono is
that of Sabin & Co. , of Stillvr.itor , Min
nesota , who were recently crippled by a
serious firo. Besides , they wcro working
largely on borrowed capital. Other fail
ures of loss note in the west Imvo boon
duo nlrictly to local nausea.
In Now York the recent failures arc at
tributable to reckless stock jobbing.
The shrinkage in ntocks has boon unpre
cedented , and speculators who have been
unoblo to unload Imvo boon cro'wdcd to
the wall. There is no denying the fact
however , that those failure * in the finan
cial center will nfl'oct the whole country
moro or loss. First came the collopao of
the banking house of Grant & Ward ,
whoso liabilities amount to between § 8-
000,000 and § 10,000,000. Developments
since the failure nro of the most staitling
character , qnd show that they either
know nothing about business or were car
rying on a bold confidence game. The
four partners put in $100,000 each , and
drew out n salary of 830,000 , each , or a
total of ? 1'M,000 n year , without regard
to the profits of the business. This rob
bery in itself would soon have exhausted
the resources of the bank. It ought not
to surprise anybody that they borrowed
money hero and there in largo sums or
that they should engage in stock sponula-
tlonn of the most reckless character and
in crooked transactions of every sort.
Their whole concern wna nothing but a
balloon , and what surprises us is that it
floated as long an it did. Had the collapse -
lapse only affected the members of the
firm no ono would have cared , but they
robbed not only n largo number of dupes
but dragged down with them the Marino
bank , whoso president , it is now shown ,
wna also engaged extensively in speculat
ing in railroad and otbor stocks. The
Marino bank failure was mostly local in
oll'ojt. No other banks or business firms
were heavily involved , and the only rail
road that was directly affected was the
ono which received a severe blow. The
heaviest account in the bank was that of
Now York city ; and all who were ruined
by the collapse of Grant and Ward were
residents of the city. But the immediate
result of thcso two failures was a further
marked decline in stocks. Next came
the failure of the Metropolitan bank ,
whoao president has also boon speculating
n railway securities , and endeavoring to
bolster up the stock of n railroad in
which ho was heavily interested.
Naturally enough other banks and brok
ers carrying on a speculative- business ro
coivcd blown they were unable to with
stand. Now comes the report that tlio
prominent bankers and brokers , Fiak &
Hatch , dealers in goncral securities , have
jonodown in the crash. As each house
of this .kind ousponda it of conrso involves
volvos n larqo number of persons , but as
yet the indications are that banks that
iiavo boon doing a safe , conservative "and
strictly legitimate banking business ,
while moro or loss affected by the various
suspensions of the "speculation houses. "
will weather the storm. The financial com
motion will not extend to Miy great degree
outside the limits of Now York. Isolat
ed suspensions in the principal cities lion-
over , may naturally bo looked for , bul
they will bo failures of houses uimiliar in
character to these that have gone to the
wall in Now Yoik.
While the panic inVall street may
create a stringency in money and in but ) '
ineaa throughout the east , wo do not be
lieve that it will extend to the wcat in
any noticeable degree , The crops
throughout the wont are reported in favorable
vorablo condition. The last report of
the department of agriculture indicates
ono of the largest crops on record , and
the cotton crop of the south , according
to Bradatroot , promises wall. In many
of the principal cities of the west , notably
in St. Paul , Minneapolis , Omaha nni
Kaneas City , there is a great deal ol
building in progress , and real estate con
tinue ] in demand at peed prices. In
Omaha there ia not only a healthy build
ing boom , but there ia a great deal ol
public work going on. Laborers and me
chanics are niarly nil employed at tair
wages , and money seems to bo abundant.
Our banks are ranked among the mosi
nelid institutions in the country , and a
general confidence prevails that nothing
will occur to give our city and state n so
back this year. The only effect that the
Now York failures and iho shrinkage ii
railway stocks may have in this part o
the west ia the cessation for a time o
railroad construction
Ay important discover } ' has juat beet
mndo in logard to the civil service Invr
passed last year. It ia that the law coi
tains a clause forbidding representative
in congress and senators from receiving
or belonging to an organization which ro
ceivea , any assessment , subscription o
contribution made ( or campaign purposes
The penalty nlliiod for breaking thia HOC
tion of the statute is a fine of ? 5COO one
imprisonment for flvo years. Thcso pro
visions have been a law fur nearly a year
and a half , but it h&a juat occurred to a
/lumber of congressmen that under it they
are in daugnr of the penitentiary. The
republican congressional committee ia' '
composed wholly and the republican
lational committee partly of members of
congress in both houses , The diacovcry
hat all thcso have laid themselves open
o eovoro punishment is not comforting.
There will have to bo ft reorganization of
> olh committees. It would bo impossible
o evade the law in any way oven if anyone
ono wanted to do BO. The sections of the
aw which have caused this trouble are a
air sample of the thoughtless manner in
which seine attempted reforms are car
ried out. It is evidently no worse for
congressmen to belong to organizations
rhich receive political assessments than
t is for any other c'aaa ' of men whatsoever.
Why they should Imvo been specially
ticked out ia ono of the things that none
no ono can explain.
NJ ! W A RMY HILL ,
The army appropriation bill , which is
low awaiting the action of the house ,
contains some important provisions. It
s chiefly marked by increased liberality
of treatment to officers and men. It
ots aaido $250,000 to provide for extra
mymont to nil enlisted men put on duty
or moro than ten days as mechanics , ar-
iaans , ochool teachers , clerks , teamsters ,
nil laborers. Hitherto the first throe
losaoa named have boon paid thirty-five
onts a day. Hereafter they will receive
fty. Olcrks , teamsters nnd laborers
mvo heretofore boon paid twonty-Ovo
onts n day. The bill increases their
omponsalion ton cents. This featureis
ookcd upon with great satisfaction by
rmy men , as an act of justice.
Another clause permits fuel to bo is-
ued to all oflicorn on duty at nny post
vest of the Mississippi river. Officers
nd enlisted men nro hereafter to bo al-
owed to purchase subsistence supplies nt
est price. At present they are charged
0 per cent , nbovo cost. Previous at-
einnts have boon made to secure this re
liction , but Imvo boon defeated. It is
vise and just.
Besides this , ono hundred post , quarter
master sergeants nro to bo nddcd to the
orco. They nro to bo chosen by oxnm.
nation from the moat suitable enlisted
non of nt least four years' service.
? hcso oorgoants nro designed to relieve
ivilain employes na clerks nnd store-
{ copcrs , to take cnro of public property ,
or to bo nssisianta to quartermasters ,
'hey nro to bo paid $ -10 n month with an
ordnance sergeant's allowance.
Reductions of expenses nro nlso made ,
'lie total number of civilian employes
a not to bo over ono thousand. The
ompcnsation for freight nnd carriage
laid by Iho government to railroads that
mvo received national nid is not to bo
nero than one-halt of the rates which
irivato persona pay. The office of
orago-mastor is abolished. The total ox-
ondituro on civilian labor is not to bo
ncro tlmnl,500,000 , nnd no ono civilian
mploj o is to receive moro than $150 a
noiith. The price of food ia considered
, warranting A'reduction of the ration
rom 22 to 20 cents. The pay corps is to
ho diminished from 40 to 28. And
ho number of horses nnd mules
which may bo bought is reduced
nnd rigorously limited. By these moans
\ reduction of $420,000 in the amount of
ippropriatiou is mndo. This is shaving
ho service pretty closo. The senate will
mvo objections to make to Bomo of the
terns of the bill , and may insist ; on an
increased appropriation. The bill has
joon delayed beyond nil precedent by
; ho dissensions of the democrats. It
should bo hastened and passed.
Two confidence sharks , Mark a nnd
Schonborg , who Imvo been operating in
the vicinity of the Union Pacific depot ,
were arrested last week by the depot no
liconnd were tried nnd convicted in police
court. They were sentenced to thirty
daya imprisonment nnd to pay a fine of
:20. : Nevertheless , thcso men attended
the pmo-fight , nnd nro said to Imvo boon
the cause of the free fight nnd shooting
match on the return trip of the special
train , That they were both wounded is
something for which no ono feels sorry.
But how did they got out of jail DO that
they could attend iho prize-fight ? Thia
ia a question that will have to bo answered -
od by some one. The police judge eaya
that ho did not lot them out. Who did ?
Ono of the prisoners claimed to have
lionrt disease , and that it was not healthy
for him to bo in jail. This is n great mis
take , for Iho hoalthioit place for such
scoundrels is in jail. Nevertheless , ho
was permitted to go to the prize-fight ,
which was juat the place for a man aillict-
od with heart disease. Instead of send
ing for the city physician , Dr. Loisonriug ,
to examine the fellow's caao of heart dis
ease , Dr. Hoffman was culled , and that
jontloman certified to his condition. The
people would now like to kuow who re
leased Marks and Schonborg from jail
If the police judge did not do it , did the
city marshal or the jailor ? This is a case
that should bo investigated by the city
council , as well na by the grand jury.
This case ia another evidence that the
crooks of thia city nro being "protected"
by certain city officials ,
IK Ohisf Engineer Butler , of the fire
department , proposes to onforca the lire
limit oidinanco lot him do it in n busi-
nciia like wny. Thcro are several frame
buildings being put up uuidotho fire
limits , nnd in order to evade the
ordinance it ia proposed to veneer the
frame with a brick wall of ono brick
thickness. No jiueh buildings should bo
allowed to bo constructed , Tlu > y are u
fraud , nnd nro just ns liable ) to burn
down as n strictly frame structure.
Mil. KRABTUS YOUNO , auditor of the
Union Pacific , has been goiiornlly credi
ted with having boon largely instrumen
tal in causing the recuit reduction of
| wager , Mr. Young emphatically denies
I the charge. Ho know nothing of the in
tention of tlio Boston directory , nrd
WAI not nwaro of the order .being issued
mtil after its receipt in Omaha. It is al
so claimed in his behalf that ho made no
recommendations looking towards n general -
oral reduction.
THE city council lias done n very wise
thing in passing the ordinance giving the
U. < t M. the right of way to the Union
stock yards. While there- was no partic
ular hurry necessary in this matter , there
was danger that the whole scheme would
bo defeated by Union Pacific influences.
The vote upon this ordinance lias ngain
demonstrated that an employe of the
Union Pacific will always prefer to servo
the interest of that corporation , oven
when ho knows it to ha contrary to pub
lic policy nnd the interests of his constit
uents. It is manifestly t- > the interests
of Omaha that all railroads shall have ac
cess to our stock yards , packing houses ,
warohouaos and factories. To give nny
ono rend the monopoly of public road
ways would impede the growth of the
city nnd prevent it from over becoming n
[ great manufacturing center , Corpora
tions , like men , are moro or less selfish ,
It is not at nil unlikely if the B. & M.
railroad were in the position of the Union
Pacific , that it would pursue tlio same
selfish policy. But the public have rights
which these corporations should not attempt -
tempt to ignore. In thia instance , as in
Iho contest of the Jackwnstroot occupancy
and the river front crossing , the public
interest ia jeopardized by the solfiish
opposition of the Union Pacific , and thia
paper took decided ground in favor of
granting the B. & M. the same rights
which had boon given to the Union Pa
cific. In that fight the court sustained
the position taken by The BKI : that the
monopoly of nny thoroughfare cinnot bo
granted to any railroad. This is not
only n good law , but justice , nnd
it will prevail whenever an honest decision
sion is rendered by the courts.
THE END OF A. NOBhK LIFE.
Death of Cyrus II. McCormick Bi-leJ
Sketch or tlio Career of Ono of
tlio World's Uonefactois.
Chicago Herald.
A good man and true was at rest yes
terday when Cyrus H. McCormick closed
his oyca in the sloop of death. It was
the end of n lifo of the highest order of
human nobility a king who never were
a crown. In the death of the man Amer
ica loses a grandly representative citizen.
Plain , unpretending man na ho was , ho
had been the guest of emperors nnd
kings and had been named chevalier of
the imperial order of the Legion of Honor ,
flio were the victories 01 peace. To his
fertile brain the world is indebted for ono
of the most valuable of labor-caving
inventions. To liis industry , genor
oaity and enterprise , Chicago owes
u debt which money ia powerless
to liquidate. To his orncst adherence to
hia convictions , grounded in the relig
ious laith of his forefathers , a great denomination -
nomination is indebted for timely and
constant practical assistance. In hia ex
ample nnd toachjngo the members of the
political party to which ho gave his ad-
horcnco may find help and inspiration.
Mr. McCormick had boon nn invalid for
some time. During the past ycnv ho had
not boon able to leave his room , but
though physically powerless to moot the
demands of nctivo business connections
ho hud full poseesion of his mental pow
ers until a short time before his decease ,
which occurred nt 7 o'clock yesterday
morning. Ho died in the aoventy-iifth
year of hia ago.
Cyrua Hnll McOormick wna born Feb.
15 , 1800 , in Rockbridg County , Vir
ginia. Hia father , Robert McCormick ,
was bora in Rockbridgo County. Hia
mother , Mory Ann Hall , was a native of
Augusta County , in the same state. The
parents were both from Scotch-Irish de
scent , and rank among the most reput
able residents of Virginia. The older
McCormick was n farmer of moro than
ordinary mental and financial resources ,
Ho owned valuable tracts of land , which
were carefully , intelligently and profita
bly cultivated. Ho owned saw uiul grist
nulls , blacksmith shops , carpenter nnd
machine shops , and g.xvo to all hia per
sonal supervision. With such surround
ings it is no matter of surprise that the
subject of this notice should Imvo early
laid the foundation for that eminently
practical and useful career upon which it
woo decreed hu should ontor. Deprived
of the advantages of n professional train
ing , his mind expanded in an inventive
direction. Ilia father was an inventor
and n successful ono , and the letters
patent which ho hold represented only
labor-saving devices. When still in his
teens Cyrua saw that his father had been
foiled in his attempts to invent a
reaping machine. Both realized that n
reaper would not only be n benefaction
to humanity of surpassing utility , but
would nlso bring to the inventor wealth
and world-wide fame. While the father
built models only to cast them aside as
worthless , tlm son devoted days nnd
nifthts to study. Ho felt certain that the
great problem before thorn must bo first
worked out mentally. As ho once ex
pressed it when talking to nn assemblage
of agricultural men in the East : "I
built the first renpor in my imagination ,
I destroyed it nnd constructed another
on an entirely different principle in the
workshop.Tho second reaper was
equipped with a crank which gave the
requisite lateral motion to the cutting
blade. Satisfying himself as to the practi
cal utility of this invention young McCormick -
mick devised apparatus for collecting uud
handling the gram , holding it until taken
by the rake and deposited into sheaves.
In 1831 , when Oyrua waa about twen
ty.two years of ago , the reaper to which
ho hat' ' given years of thought became an
accomplished fact.lt stood every practical
teat and in the ucction where ho resided
tliu young inventor was regarded with
wonder and admiration. A few years
later ho became interested in iron-sniolt
ing. In this branch ho mndo some sub-
suntial improvements. Ho would prob
ably have given lu dena of invention
wider scope in thia line if it had not been
for the disastrous panics of 1837. The
remarkable depreciation in values of that
period loft Mr. McOormick a p or man.
iWoro retiring from the iron-nmeUing
industry , however , ho paid his personal
debts and liquidated the obligntiona of
Hia partner. His integrity cost him his
fortune , but Ojrua McCormick waa an
honest man. , ,
Three years bofoio hia financial re
verses overtook him hu had patented hu
icnper. Ho determined to plaoo.his . m
volition before the American public , nnd-
accordingly gave himself up to tiiia busi-
HUM with charactoriiUo enthusiasm nnd
8iuKkno6s of purpose. In the year 1815 ,
eucuring another patent upon tiio re per ,
ho settled in Cincinnati. Two ycnra
later ho removed to Chicago , being con
vinced that thia waa destined to bo the
metropolis of the west nnd the groin
market of the world. Soon after coming
hero ho introduced his brothers , Lonndor
J. and William 8. , into the business ,
which was rapidly attaining marvelous
proportions , The McCormick reaper
won the prize medal in 18G2 at the Lon
don National exhibition. The next year
it was awarded the highest
honor nt the International exhi
bition in Franco , After nnothcr
great triumph at the exposition of nil
Nations in Paris , in 1807. McCormick
was invited by the Emperor Nnpolcon tote
to visit the letter's farm nt Chalons nnd
exhibit hia wonderful invention. His
Mnjcsty wns delighted with the work of
the reaper , nnd was profuse in his com
pliments. The first year that Mr. Mo-
Corimck came to Chicago , ho manufac
turcd 708 machines. In 1857 ho sold
over 1,000 reapers , and the demand in
creased rapidly. In 18501lovordy Johnson
in nn argument before the commissioner
of patents , nnid : "Tho McCormick
reaper has already contributed nn annual
income to the whole country of forty-five
millions of dollars at least , which must
increase through all time. "
Mr. McCormick was never an oflicp-
seeker , but ho stood deservedly high in
the councils of the democratic party. Into
politics ho carried lofty motives , and his
influence was great , for his character wna
a npotlcss ono. U ? entertained clear and
well-defined views on religion , being an
ardent Presbyterian. lip was most prom
inent in the organization t.of the South
Presbyterian church , Riving the largci
part of the amount required to purchase
n tito Tor the cdifico. Up to the year
1857 ho gave , each year , $3,000 to the
support of this church. In 185 ! ) ho
founded and endowed the Presbyterian
theological seminary of the Northwest.
IIo endowed a professorship in Washing
ton college , Virginia , and contributed
libornlly to the support of the Unioi
Theological Seminary of Virginia. In
1872 ho purchased the Interior , the or
gan of the Presbyterian" Church in the
Northwest , retaining the proprietorship
up to the day of his death. It is only n
few weeks ago that hogavo § 100,000
which will bo devoted to the better
equipment of the Theological Seminar }
of the Northwest. Mr. McCormick ro
maincd single until tlio year 1858 , when
ho married Misa Nottio Fowler , of Clay
ton , Jefferson County Now York. They
have had seven children , The mother
and five of the children survive the lion
ored head of their aadly stricken house
hold. Deceased was ono of the woalthi
cat men in Chicago. His fortune is csti
mated nt 820,000,000.
