There is something unutterably path etic in the fate of Two Standing , a noted bravo of the Omaha tribe , who died in ono of our city hospitals lost week and was buried in Potter's Field. His name was a decoration won by personal valor , ho and another warrior being the only two left standing at the cleso of a deiperato battle in which a party of Sioux -were defeated. Ho came to Now York with a show troupe , and being taken kick was abandoned to hii fate. Alone and among strangers ho passed away to iho happy hunting grounds of his fathers , and the rod warrior found no white man to give him a burial worthy of hio deeds and name. Ho was only an Indian a vagabond in the land where his fathers n d boon kings. New York JUeroury. In the days of Fennimoro Cooper this * incident would have furnished the foundation - ation for a novel. But the cruel fata and untimely taklng-off of ono of Buffalo Uill's Indians does not oven draw . * tear inthis matter-of-fact age , aud oven out weat , where the Indian ! known the beat , an impression prevails that the lieroio braves of Buffalo Bill's tribe faro better , lrea more comfortably , and get more fire-water , than the kings of the Cannibal islands. Two Standing is moro comfortable lying in the Potter's Field ikau hanging in the top of a tioo or resting on a high hill to bo oaten by wolves and vultures. IT LAB generally been auppoaed thai . -documents on file in public officer , and jwrticularly the p pe CJei b the cffl- oca of clerks of courts , rroro always opor. x > public inspection , and that the CT tonls of papers so filed were the ro orty of the public BO far M the ma'.tor ' of news is concerned. But the supreme court of MassachusotU takes & different view , and ono which will bo received with considerable surprise by the proas of the country. A petition was filed in the county clerk's office at Lowell for the removal moval of ono Cowloy from the bar , and the lloston Herald published this poll tion , or the unbalance of it , as a matter of nows. In doing this it simply followed the usual custom of newspapers. Cowloy sued the Jlcrahl for libel , but ihlpllcrald pleaded privil ege and the superior court sustained the defense and throw the case out of court. Cowloy carried the C&HO to the supreme court on exceptions and the supreme court has just ruled that papers on file in the o (11 ( ccs of the clerks of courts are not open to public inspection and thai newspapers "cannot sotjup privilege as a defense in a libel suit after publishing an ox-parto statement of a case taken from file in the oflico of the -clerk , ' although "thoy are protected from libel in reporting cases actually on trial. " The opinion of thi court WAS unanimous. The Springfield Republican calls this a no w and ingonioui way of muzzling the press in Massachus otts. In commenting on the remarkable decision the Jlcpubllcan says : If the supreme court refuses to sustain the privilege of a journal to print an ox- parto statement from the clerk's record , suppose a newspaper chose to print only ono side of the case , when actually brought to trial ? This doctrine clearly renders every newspaper liable for print ing a list of the grand jury's indictments , charging citizens with all sorts of heinous crimes on "ox-parto statements taken from papers on file in the oflico of the clerk DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. When the national republican convention vontion had concluded its work , every loading democratic paper and poll tician in the United States expressed the utmost confidence in the triumphant oleo tion of a democrat 03 thosuccossor of Presi dent Arthur. Thonominationof Tlldonand Hondrloks by acclamation was rogardjd as a foregone conclusion , and it was generally orally conceded that the only work loft tor the national convention was simply to ratify on July 8 what the democracy had resolved upon before hand , in every state and territory in the union , regard less of faction. Tildon's letter of declination fell upon the party like a thunder clap from n clorir sky. While it was generally known that the oracle of Qrammorcy was a physical wreck f ow were prepared for the absolute refusal to accept the nomination under any circumstances. Upon recovering From the fearful shock every democratic nock was 'craned to got a gllmpsa of the man that Now York would put forward as a candidate , the generals upposition being that the man named by the Empire State would bo accepted as the inevitable choice of the party. The Saratoga convention assembled and was heralded abroad as a harmonious gathering. Grover Cleveland waa rooog- nizod as the political legatee of the Ci pher Alloy Mummy. It wai given out that Cleveland had secured moro than two-thirds of the entire delegation , aud under the unit tulo the vote of Now York waa sure to bo east for him. Whether or not this will prove correct , it ia certain that a storm has been gathering in Now York , which must render Cleve land's nomination decidedly hazardous. John Kelly , and his Tammany , bravea have dug up the tomahawk and are flourishing it in a fierce and warlike manner , while the anti-monopolists are waging a fierce war upon the aristocratic executive of the Empire State. On the other hand , the independents and republican bolters have espoused the cause of Cleveland , agd point to him as the only democrat who can got their active aud undivided support. While this promised ra-inforco- mont from the disgruntled republicans would bo very welcome immedi ately after the Chicago coiivun tion , it in very embarrass ing to Cleveland just now. The friends of other candidates point , with a great deal of force , to the fact that Olovclaml seems to bo moro popular with the inde pendents aud republicans in his own state than with the democrats. The democratic dissensions in Now York have given an impetus to the boomers of rival candidates in every soo- tion of the country. That domocratio FalstalT , Bon Butler , is marshalling his million of ragamuffins for the fray , and his lieutenants swear tlmtrho is the only democrat who is euro to beat Blaine in not only the doubtful states of the east , but on the Pacific coast. Hoadloy is being - ing nursed with a great deal of tender care in Ohio by Johnny McLean , while Thurman , who heads the Ohio delegation , proposes to play the role of Qarfiold. Joe McDonald comes to the front with the solid vote of Indiana , but the fact that Houdrioks heads the delegation does not augur well for Joseph. The tail of the old ticket will have his own light * ning rod hoisted lu the convention.

On the contrary , the bitter and factional contest that is sure to bo precipitated at Chicago next week is llablo to culminate in ono of those magnificent blunders for which the domocratio party is noted. All eyes are no IT turned to Chicago. The tally shoots must remain blank , and wo shall not bo surprised if the mountain , after an immense amount of painful labor , brings forth a mouso. TREATMENT OF WIT NESSES. Persons who have attended the Guthrie rio trial in the district court ; must have received the impression that witnesses are treated by the lawyers in a manner that is anything but courteous. They worry a witness in every conceivable way and instead of assisting him to toll plain straight-forward story , as ho really desires to do , they persist in their efforts forts to entangle him in his statements , and raako htm contradict himself. It would scorn that the attorneys take it for granted that the witness goes on the stand determined to give false testimony , and they at once begin subjecting him to all storts of vexatious and irritating qucs tions , many of which are otton insulting and would not bo tolerated by the victim for a moment outside of the court room. The vexing and bulldozing of witnesses are practices that are often carried to extremes. Some lawyers seem to think that a witness has no rights which ho is bound to respect. They are altogether too presumptuous , nnd'tho sooner such attorneys learn to bo polite and gentle manly to a witness , and take it for granted ho is tcllincr the truth , until ho is proven to bo owoaring falsely , the bet tor it will bo fur them , and the higher they will bo esteemed by the public. An eminent French writer in a work entitled "Public Llfo in England , " commented upon the English methods of examining witnesses , and the remarks apply equally < m well to the American method , The writer says : "Thoso witnesses are not requested , as before our tribunals , to state spontane ously all they know of the circumstances of the caso. * * * They only reply to specific questions which are put to them in turn by the counsel. This ia called examination and cross-examination. There are few cus toms so scandalous in the judicial cus toms of civilized people. The interest aud aim of each advocate being to ox1 tract from the witness otatoments ns ftv vorablo as possible to his own thooryjnny moans seem good to him in order to ar rive at his object. Questions the most insidious , the most indiscreet , * the most annoying , are authorized by custom. It follows as a mat/tor of course that the most cutting manner , the least migivings are maliciously accentuated. While the French law takes it for granted that every man ought to bo believed on his word of honor , the English law , on the con trary , seems to assume that every affirm ation made in court may bo a priori sup nosed to bo untrue. A dbplorablo legacy of the times , not BO long ago , when pro fessional false witnesses made themselves known to pleaders in Westminister Hall by fixing a straw in their shoo. However - over that may bo , the part played by the unfortunate victim implicated , in no matter how small a degree , in the case is almost intolerable. Should his physiog nomy , his private life , his name , his pro fession , his dwelling place lend them selves in the least degree to ridicule for oquivocno , the enemy attacks him in the weak point with cruel joy. The public laugh , the witness gets rod and pale , and finally loses his countenance. Happy still , is ho , if the judge docs not add to Ills torture by omitting some safe and pro fessional joke at his expense. Neither the search for truth nor the majesty of justice has anything to gain by such ox iiibitlons. " THE MAYORALTY Tun question naturally arises who is to bo mayor of Omaha from novr until the end of the unoxpirod term of Champi on S. Ohaso , The succession is definite ly fixed by the charter. Section 11 of the charter provides that the election of officers shall hold for two years , com monoing on the 11 rat Tuoaduy succeeding their oloctoi ! > , niul they shall hold thoirofli cos until their successors nro elected and qualified. Section 10 provides that the city council shall have power to elect ono of their own body president of the coun cil , who shall preside at all meetings of the council , and in his nbsonco to olcct ono of their own body to occupy his place temporarily , who shall ba styled noting president of the council , and the pros ! dent oc acting president , when occupying the place of mayor , shall have the same iiowors as the mayor , and shall have the same rights and privileges as ether mom jors of the council. Snotion 71 say * that when any vacancy shall happen iu the oflico of mayor by death , resignation , absence from thn city , removal from oflico , refusal to qualify or otherwise , the president of the council 'or the time being shall oxorclso the of- ice of mayor , with all the rights , privil eges , and jurisdiction of the regular nayor until euch vacancy bo filled , or such disability removed ; or in case of temporary absence , until the mayor shall return ; and during that time ho shall receive coivo the same compensation that the mayor would bo entitled to , the same to jo deducted from the salary of the mayor. The existing vacancy In the oflico of mayor caused by the removal of Cham pion S , Chase , will , therefore , bo filled y the president of iho council , Mr , Murphy , until it is filled by election. Now , the only way to fill the oflico by election , prior to the regular city eloo- ion to bo hold in April , 1885 , would bo through a special election ordered by the acting mayor and council , Section 15 of the charter provides that the mayor md council shall have authority to pro vide for filling Buck vacancies at may occur iu the officw of couucilmen and mayor , or other oloclivo ofil.cs o ! the city by calling a special election for that purpose. The council having BO far failed to pro vide for filling such vacancies by ordi nance it remains entirely optional with that body to do BO now or to allow the office of mayor to remain vacant until the regular election in April next. Ono thing the council should do without de lay. The charter requires the election of an acting president of the council who is to take the place of the president of the council in case of a temporary vacancy caused by his nbsonco or any disability. It is obvious' that provision should bo made for any possible contingency. Ulnlno'n First Campaign. Washington Letter In Sanl'rancisco Bulletin. Now that Blaine is the nominee there Is no end to the good stories that are be ing related of his boyhood , Congress man Pusoy1 , of Iowa , who wont to nchool with him in Washington county , Pa. , tolls an anecdote illustrating the spirit which has not only made him the great est man in America but at last brought him within a stop of the white house. At school the Plumed Knight was called "Nosey Blaine , , ' in consequence of his prominent proboscis which ia still his only homely feature , aud the boys , among wjiom ho w always a loader , physically and intellectually , were very fond of making fun of him. Blaine , however , never lost hla temper. Ono day "Nosoy" conceived Ufa Idea of being president of the lititrary society to which many of his schoolmates belonged , aild ho made a rapid canvass of the field There waslbut ono candidate against him. who withdraw at once when ho heurd Blaine was in the contest. Only ono ob jection could bo urged against young Blaine , ho was the bout dubator in the society , the biggest boy and the brightest scholar. Coming to Pusey ho disclosed his ambition. "Why , Nosey , " said Pusoy , "of course I'll help you ; but you can't fill the place. " "Can't ' fill the place ? " exclaimed Blaine , astonished at Pusoy's ' lack of confidence , "whynot ? " "Because you don't know anything about parliamentary law. You can't preside - side without a good knowledge of points of order and things. " The young candidate , euro enough had overlooked this qualification , and was somewhat abashed to reflect that what Pusey said was probably truo. But suddenly donly brightening up ho said ; "I'll fix that mighty quick. The election is to morrow. I'll commit Cusbing's Manual to memory to-night.1 ' And Pusoy says ho did it. Before day light next morning , ho know every im portant part of Cushing by heart , and within a week wai an authority on parliamentary law. These who remember Blainp'a remarkable mas tery of parliamoutnay law while speaker of the house , and the won derful facility with which ho unraveled the most intricate questions Of order , will easily credit Puaoy's story. His memory of principles , dates , names and facts , naturally Strong , has boon culti vated until it ia more remarkable than his gonuis for leadership and command. Corn In Dakota. The Rural Now Yorker. \Vi 1 corn ripen in southeastern Dako ta , is a question often asked , but not very satisfactorily answered , The truth must bo told the crop has heretofore had but indifferent success. There are , however , reasons why it has been so. The greater , number of those . who have . * * * * * * * ' tried it have done So * on the eod , imine- poor Even wheat , the plant that , always grows best in Dakota , < | does 'btifc ' poorly when so treaded. Irf.the ldrfr. 'settled parts I'havo soon it.grSp oni.old. , groumJ- and I question .vory.jSw'chi.jwhether it would not compare favorably with , any growth in Minnesota , Michigan or Wis consin. Another reason why it has boon unsuccessful is the fact that the right kind of seed has not boon used , Nearly every ono who has como hero brings with him some need which ho is sure will ripen in Dakota. All Imagine they have got a good thing , and keep the name a "deep mystery" till well on in the season it turns out an ignomiuous failure , and than they exclaim : "Why , I was euro thai would ripen that was Canada Smut , " or some ether sort , If people would give up their own pot corn , and procure seed grown in the stnto , plant it on old ground and culti vate it , I would have no fear of the re sult. Thin waa my first season here , so my personal experience ia rather lim ited. 1 did try some half dozen diflbront kinds of corn on the sod , What did busf with mo was a white dent , the seed 03 which 1 brought from Wisconsin. I wat told hero it was not worth planting , as ib would bo too latoinripening ; but I deter mined to plant It , and it turned out just the reverse of what they predicted. I also Imd Sibloy's Pride of the North , which \rii3 much puflcd all over the northwest , With tno it waa a failure , as was also a yellow dent from Nebraska and a white dent from northprn IOWA. Two varieties of flint , the seed of which waa raised hero , did well , but the prairie squirrels were vorysovcro on thorn , An the result of my experiments , aud from the experi ence of older settlers , I have no doubt an early eight-rowed yellow corn is the proper kind for thia section , next to which I should tike an early white dent. Either of these , put in an old soil and properly cultivated , would produce a crop with as much certainty as in any of the adjoining states. Illulno as a Hand-Shaker , Blaine , says a Washington correspond ent of the Cleveland Leader , is ono of the best hand-shakers in public life. Ho seizes your hand , gives It a hearty uhako , and holds it firmly ami rather confiden tially while ho is talkl'jg. Here at Bel- laire he waa shaking hands from the bo- ginniug to the eud of his visit , and crowds gathered around the depot anx ious to give him a parting look or shako before the train left. Ho was sitting in the car by the window and shaking the liauda of those on the platform ouUido , when among others , a very pretty Vir ginia girl came up. Blalnu seized her uand with his hearty grip. Almost in stinctively and at almost the same mo ment , an old frioud of hla engaged him In conversation. Ho began to talk hold ing to the girl's hand , aud not noticing , I supposq. that It was not the hand of the man to whom ho was speaking. After about a minute the affair began to attract attention. The girl attempted to pull lior hand away gently , but Blaine , who was engaged in an animated conversation only tightened his grip and talked faster. Attliigtho young girl's lover , who , with lot face , hail boon standing back in the crowd , came up and twitching Blaino'a iloovo , pointed out to him what ho was doing , Ho let go the girl's hand at once with a word of apology and the bluahij maiden was led awny Into the crowd. \VESTKUN NEWS.

The prices of red wood are ruled by the redwood manu facturers' association , and those of pine by the pine manufacturers' association. The retail dealers have to sign contracts with these associations to buy and sell only'nt prices fixed by them. This is in Imitation of the special contract system of the Central pacific. Last July , Vanderbilt - derbilt , Sloan , and ono or two others , owners of coal lands and coal railroadsmet at Saratoga to make binding arrange ments for the control of the coal trade , [ t was agreed to fix prices and to prevent the proouictlpnof/too much coal by the compbrary Suspension of-mining. These are the means this combination used to keep down wages , the price of men , and keep up the price of coal , ; ho wages of capital. There has been since 1872 a national combination of the manufacturers of stoves , and its effect , said the founder in his speech at the an nual banquet at Cleveland last Fedruary , was to piaco balances on the right side of the lodger. The match manufacturers iormod a combination to fix prices , and also the coal oil men. It was truly said that the matches lighted the fire of com bination coal in combination stoves , and it is combination oil which the cook con trary to orders puts on the fires to innko them burn faster. The American Paper Association aims to control the prices and production of paper for newspapers nnd sooka. The Western Woodwaro Association dsscovorod last Decora- aor that there were to many ; ub3 , paila nnd bowls , and ordered its members to manufacture but ono fifth of their capacity. The v/all- paper raanufusturors have nn oath-bound combination.

The Vulcan mill at St. Louis stood idle for years , its owners receiving a subsidy of § 100,000 yearly from the other mills of iho combination for not making n&ils with , however , no payment to the men who were turned off. In April the Cotton Manufacturers' association mot to consider the evil of too much cotton cloth.

Oath : I noticed In Chicago the caatlo of Storey , the editor of The Timeswho ia off in an asylum , they say , Bomowhoro oast. As I "was riding out in the South mrk yesterday I say this marble house itandmg up within a few rods of the > ark , and I asked : "What Institution is hat ? " It had high towers running up ive stories and waa apparently 200 foot square. "That's noinstitution"said my Chicago riond. "It's Storey's house. Ho proba- ) ly got the ground In pursuance of a job o put through his park , jnd his mind > oing already weak ho started to build , and with the tenacity of his whole char- aeterho is determined to finish the house. It is eaid that the profits of the Chicago Times , which are again good , nro mainly put into this mansion. " Satdl ; "What in the name of God ia t good for after it Is done ? " "Why , " said my friend , "it is good for nothing at all. Considering its history , nobody who could afford it would live in t ; it is not fit for an Institution.
