As a consequence there are nov thirty death-sentenced prisoners In tha state. THE BEE publishes Gladstone's speed In full.

As usual , the BEE leads all it contemporaries in this part of the west Although enterprise Is sometimes rathe expensive , it pays In the end. THE advorliilng of Uncle Sam ha been awarded to the Omaha Herald For our part wo will cheerfully dlsponsi with our share. Wo are content wltl the patronage of merchants , who placi t tholr advertising in the medium tha roaches the people and gives them thi largest return for tholr money. THE Now York Herald says that "Dr Miller , of Omaha , "Nob. , who was not ap pointed postmaster-general , Is , never tholoes , so besot by applicants for offici that ho has felt compelled to refer then to President Cleveland. " Under thi circumstances wo cannot see to when olaohe should refer thohnugry democrats as ho has nothing to glva them. A * xw days before the eclipse of th sun Kiel addressed his ewers , tollln thorn that if ho did atken the sui on the 15th ho wonld not ask them to be llevo him. There is no doubt that h professes to be vested with supernatura powers , and the half-breeds have an abid Ing faith In him. A few days ago h proposed to fight , saying that one of hi men would bo injured in the hands , thi others escaping uninjured. It Is for thi reason that ho is called the mahdl of th northwest , and the British do not aoet to bo mooting with any more success li tholr effort ! to suppress him than the ; did In tholr attempt to subdue the malic pi the Soudan. THE Mississippi editor who has asko 'for the pardon of Jeff Davis ovorlooke the fact that Mr. Davis , with other robeli was pardoned under the proclamation c President Johnson on Christmas da ] 1808. The only political disability nndc which the ex-president of the late cor fodoracy now labors Is the bar which pr < vents him from holding oflico under tli federal government. According to th fourteenth amendment of the conatltu tion ho cannot hold oflico unless his dli abilities are removed by a two-thirds vet of cougrosi. If Jeff Davis hankers afte oflico ho will have to apply to coogrcsi as other rebels have douo , so that ho ca bo qualified. But Mr. Davis hss neve inado any such application , and probabl never will. Acconnma to the laws of the Unite States the president is empowered to on ploy such force u may bo necessary t compel any foreign vessel to depart froi our waters In all cases In which by th laws of nations or the treaties of th United States she ought not to remal within our limits. When two hostll vessels are In nentral waters , tha on that departs first cannot bo followed b the other until twenty-four hours sha have elapsed , without a violation c neutrality laws , In case of a deolaratlo of war the British man-of-war and th Russian corvette , now lying In Noifol harbor , wonld have to seek a battle fiel at least throe miles from the coast , whlc la the limit of jurisdiction of the Unlto State , and should either wish to avoid fight , the ono getting out of the barbo first would have a start of twenty-fou hours. Should they remain at Norfol until u declaration of war Is made , a figl between them wonld In all probablllt take place at a point within easy view c the cout. It is not presumed tha either would seek to avoid an engage niont , and as a declaration of war 1s dall. oipeoted the naval commanders ate n doubt preparing for the set-to. THE CROW CREEK CONTROVERSY The proclamation of President Arthn ordering the settlers , or squatters , to vs cato the Crow Creek reservation , ma ; bo In strict accord with the law , bn novoitholeis it will woik a great injus tloo.f iTheao settlers wore led to bollov by the acts of the previous admlnlstra tlon that this rcserratlan would bo opened od for settlement , and they according ! ; flocked thither in great numbers. Man ; of them have disposed of tholr old hornet and removed everything they posicssei to tholr now locations , nndor the hones belief that they would have the rlgh to permanently remain there. A grea number of them have made qulto oxtonsiv Improvements , and now that they nr peremptorily ordered to pull np stake and leave , they naturally are making vigorous protest. If the present ad ministration la tochnicilly right and th previous administration was wrong , 1 would bo no more than just for congres lo take some action in the matter with , view of reimbursing those who have suffered forod by the blunder of the government The most practical way would bo to pur chase the reservation ontrlght from th Indians and open it for settlement In th usual way. Meantime the sot tiers who have already locatoi there should bo allowed the prlvllog of first cholco of lands. Under th circumstances , as wo understand them wo believe President Cleveland Is maklni a mistake ic attempting to rectify th errcra of a previous administration i errors have been committed by worklnj a hardship on innocent Bottlers. It strike us that the more merciful way of sottlinj the difficulty wonld have boon to allov the settlers to remain undisturbed uutl it could have boon ascertained whetho the Indians wore willing to part wltl tholr reservation npon reasonable terms On the other hand , however , It 1 claimed that President Cleveland ha good grounds for his action in the prom Isos. It is said that a largo number o the settlers are merely squatters wh < wore employed by a land-grabbing syndicate dicato to help them in seizing vas tracts of the beat land ? . This , of coureo wonld put an entirely different phas upon the matter , and would justify th administration In treating all the settler the syndicate squatters and the hones homesteaders all alike , as It would b difficult to separate the two cLssos be fore the Issuance of a proclamation. The trouble over the Crow creek reser vatlon is largely due to Mr. Teller , ex secretary of the interior. His brother , i resident of Dakota , originated the plai of opening the reservation , the object o rrhlch , it is now alleged , was t jive a land grab-bing syndl cate an opportunity to seize vaa tracts of valuable lands. Secretary Teller lor acquiesced in the scheme , and promoted meted it In every way within his power The Dakota brother drafted the orde opening the rrservatlon and submitted I to the secretary , who presented i to President Arthur. It wa hold by the protidont fo nearly throe weeks , until it was foun that congress would take no , action Then the secretary's brother returned t Dakota , and when It was annonncod b ; telegraph that President Arthur had sen the order opening the reservation , he an his partner , Day , had abont 400 squatters tors ready to move the lands. These tw land-grabbers took up several town site by moans of government scrip , larg blocks of which they had secured a Washington for this purpose , and locatei squatters on the rest of th rich grazing and fine agrlcul tural tracts. After Secretary Lama took possession of the Interior depart ment ho wiped out the prospects of thes alleged land-grabbers. It Is now pro posed to Investigate the condition of th occupants of the lands , the charge against settlers , and ascertain who the are , where they came from , why the are there , and how many have bee brought Ihero in the interest and at th instance of speculators. It Is expecte that some rich developments will b made. While It may bo trno thi a largo number of thso settlers ai merely the tools of a syndicate , w bollove that there are man } ' honest homesteaders steadors , and they certainly should b fairly treated. Whatever the tonal at tiou may bo , It is hoped that provlslo will bo made for protecting the Interest of the Indians equally with those of th honest white settlers. Now comes Mr. Teller , of Dakotawh makes in the St. Paul Pioneer-Press direct and comprehensive denial of th statements to the effect that ho we financially Interested In securing th opening of the Crow Creek and WInni b go reservations by President Arthui Mr. Teller says that he did favor th opening , just as did Delegate Raj mend and other loading citizens c Dakota , but purely for the reason that h believed it for the Interests of the terrl tory. He positively assorts , howevoi that neither he nor any of his friend had'any financial interest whatever i the [ lands In question. To aid stll further complication to the matter it i emphatically denied by other parties thi any syndicate has secured any of thes lands , and furthermore that there ar none but honest settlers npon the resoi vatlon. These charges and countoi charges certainly make a very mixed n state of affairs , and In all probablllt some little difficulty will be experience In getting at the exact truth. THE Alaska boundary line may a some day become a source of trouble be tween the United States and England The uncertainty of the line Is yearly becoming coming the cause of considerable frlotloi between the settlers , miners and trader of Alaska and those of the British pea sessions. Professor Davidson , chief o the geodetic survey bureau of the PaciG coast , expresses the opinion that thi Indefinite character of' thi boundaries as laid down In the article of transfer at the time ottho purchase li 1867 , has boon purposely passed over b ; England , whcsa intention , it is Intimated la to eventually claim a frontier that wll deprlvo the United States of th richest part of Alaska. It ls rathe doubtful , however , If this question la eve raised , whether England would pus ! such a claim very vigorously unless sh could produce indisputable proofs to BUS tain her position. Meantime she wil have enough on her hands to settle th controversy with Russia regarding th Afghan "eand-box" boundory , as It I called. Should any difficulty arise concerning corning the Alaska frontier Rusiia , fron which Alaska was purchased , might hav a word or tire io say abont that matter and she naturally would take sides wltl the United States. THE dismissal of Mr. Gorman from th position of jailor and depnty marshal i made a text by the Herald for an out ragoons and nncallod-for assault npoi Marshal Cummlngs. Now wo have n desire to shield the city marshal from re sponslbllity forany official act.nnd If ho ha In any way neglected his official dntlos o violated the law ho should bo held ac countable. Bub it is certainly his prlvl logo to employ as his deputy whomsoovc ho may regard as a competent and fit per son for the place. He alone Is responsl bio for his deputies. It was porhap Marshal Cummlngs' mistake to accop the deputy of Gnthrlo. Mr. Gorman ma' bo a good policeman , but ho is hardly fi to bo a deputy marshal and to have th custody of prisoners , especially fomaloc The less said about this matter on th part of Gorman and his friends tbo botte it will bo for him. If there is any thin ; wrong with Marshal Cummlnga lot him b thoroughly Investigated. DURING the first throe months cf th present year twenty railroads have boo : placed in the hands of receivers. W learn from the Railway Age that las year the total number of roads whlcl passed Into receivers' hands was thirty seven. Their lines aggregated 11,03 miles and their capital and dobtamountei to § 715,000,000. The first quarter o this year already shows more than one half as many roads , more than 37 po cent , cf tbo mileage , and about 40 po cent , of the total amount cf capita stock Involved by the receivership of the entire previous year. Shouli this ratio be kept up during the remain ing nine months the year will show greater aggregate of railway insolvoncle than the country has yet known. Th insolvency of most of the roads that hav qono into the hands of receiverships i duo to too much water. The paying o dividends and interest o n fictitious cap ! tal has proved too heavy a load. NEARLY all the public Improvement * such as pavements , sewers , grading an curbing and guttering that were made 1 Omaha last year , amounting to aboc $800,000 , were rushed through in fou months. This is altogether too brief tlmo In which to have so much impirtnr ; work dono. Contractors are too apt t slight tholr jobs , and mistakes are llabl to occur. During the whole of last sea son the city engineer's oflico was ovei crowded with work , This year , whll there Is not so much to bo done , wonl bo advisable to make full preparations hi fore the 1st day of July for all the pabll improvements that are to bo made thi season. All the preliminary arrangi ments should be made now , and not lei until the very last moment. THERE is nothing small about Carte Harrison. Ho only wants $400,000 fror the Chicago Inter-Ocean , and § 200,00 more from Edwin Leo Brown , for speech made by the latter and publlshe by the former.

A MILLIONAIRE at JPlttsburg has bee convicted and sentenced to the penlter tiary for five years for leading a gat well riot , which resulted in the killing c one man.

Mr Donoy , of the firm of Dewey & Stone exproisod himself in no uncertain lang uagc : "I think that the plan of thi now shoot with reference to the pnbllca tlon of the leases , chattel mortgages , otc. as recorded officially , is simply llltlo bet tor than ono of blackmail , No rcspcc table person wants to have his or ho name paraded in the paper as having put chased from a firm on the chattel mort gaga plan. Bora is a poor man who i earning , wo will say , a salary of $75 pe month ; ho comes to mo and ho tolls m that ho wants to buy a sot cf furultur by installment * , paying perhaps $5 or $1 down and the rest in monthly install monts. Da you tupposo that ho cares ti have all this paraded In the columns of i daily journal ? No. The plan which I hav determined to adopt , and In truth hav adopted , is that of colling furniture to m man or woman from whom the principle of self-defense In business will reqnin mo to take a chattel mortgage , or , In deed , to file security papers of any tort In this way T can protect my customer from the publication In tbls shoot , whicl they are so anxious to avoid , There line no question In my mind but that th ! ; practice will roacs in a manner most in jnrlous and unjust to our business. " Mr. Hospo , of Douglas street , expressed pressed himself r.adily on the subject "What.do I think of this scheme of pub Hahlng the chattel mortgage > and re corded documents of similar nature in thi columns of that sheet ? It is simply ruin ous to the business interests of the merchants chants of the city. I have several roas ona for so thinking. For example , on ; man does not care to have his next dooi neighbor know the Inwardness ol his pri vate financial affairs does not want hin : o know that ho Is buying this or that or tlmo , bocanso ho Is too poor to pay foi , t at once. Again , suppose I sell to Mrs B. a piano , on monthly piymonts , cbatte mortgige or lease plan. Snooks , the on > torprltlng agent for a rival piano roade in this shoot the fact cf the filing of the chattel mortgage papers. Ho goes tc Mrs. B. and prevails npon her , perhap to drop my piano and take his , as she ba made but cno payment. So yon see thi thing pavoj the way to the oatabHshmeu of a policy which cannot fall to bo dangerous gorous In Us effects. " Mr. Hill , of Hill & Young , who havi boon given considerable free advertizinj in the "lease" and "chattel" mortgagi columns of the Bulletin , was next cor railed by the repcrlor : "I have not thought over the matter particularly , " hi said , "but I am Inclined to think that i will hurt our business greatly. Thi thing of publishing the private affairs o our customers Is not relished by any ol them. Especially is trno of thosa whc are at all sensitive on the mattei of their private affairs. Again there are a number of sporting people who patronize us and are unable to paj for an article In one payment and cense qnontly they buy from us on the chatte ! mortgage plan , or lease It from ur , anc the papers are recorded. Nrw respect able people see these names published Ir this paper , the Bulletin , and they an naturally shy of seeking such association ! In their purchases , or of having thoii names.piradod In the s mo column anc In the same connection. Of course , bnsl nets Is business , and some firm has got t ( trade with those people , but It is nol nocouary to have the fact published ir thn paper. " Mr. Erlckson , of the firm of Edholm & Erlokson , was next invited to unboson himself on the point cf Investigation , This firm has boon recorded In the chatto mortgage column of the Bulletin as hav ing disposed of diamond jewelry , music boxes , otc. , to a number of the gilded sisterhood. " 1 ara inclined to think,1 said Mr. E. , "In faor I know that thii practice of publishing the private bual ness which wo are transacting every da ) Is one most Injurious to our trade. Now , of course in our line of business wo have to deal to a very largo extent with fasl women. They come to up , want tc buy this or that , and , of course , as n mitter of business wo sail to them But decent people see all this , and II they ara unusually sensitive , they will become chary of entering our store foi ftar of associating with these people , They are Inclined to greatly exaggerate the evil , and , perhaps , may ceaia tradinp with us altogether , and on this account , But somebody will sell to these fasl women , and why not we ? So that yoi can see one very bid o fleet on bnslnpst which this practice w ill produce. Again , people don't ciro to have their bushiest laid open to the public. Only the othoi day , a lady came In hero and wanted tc buy a piano on time payments. She was afraid that if she made the bargain , the fact wonld bo published In the papers. Wo almost lost the trade on tila * account , and It was only aftnr I had succeeded In securing the suppression of the Horn that she made up her mind to conclude the bargain. " U will ba noticed that tboro is a wide spread dissatisfaction against the practice of tbo sovon-bynlno folio , In publishing the private affairs of merchants or tholr customers. "What Is the use of all this , any way 7" they are induced to ask , end with reason. Echo answers "what ? " What class of people will it benefit ? Who cares to kuow whether Miss Belle , Miss Nell , or Tom , Dick or Harry , have mortgaged their old.shoes or old clothes for a set of diamonds , a 717- alr music box or a tpan of now horses ? If it becomes absolutely necesiary for one individual to post himtolf upon the pri vate financial affairs of another he can do It through tha commercial agencies and secure In this direction Information which would bo much raoro reliable than that which Is peddled in the columns of the Bulletin , The publishers of tbo folio may make that these chattel mortgage * and loisos are a matter of fact and rec ord , and M such they have a perfect right to publish the snmo , This Is not a good explanation , In tmtb , It is a decidedly unsavory ono. A pair of ragged.scnted pants Is a matter of "fact and record. " But would the publishers of the Bulletin hesitate to avail them * iclvcs of the protection afforded by the folds of the long tailed Prlnco Albert coat to fond off the dread exposure threatened by the aforesaid breeches ? A WIOKED BOLLEB , Wlllnrd , a Knight of the Rink , Tries to Jump the Town but IB Ilalkcil. The "gay and festive rollorlto" Is an Individual to bo shunned , as ho Is n man of wicked ways and wiles. The latott Illustration of this truth hss just developed. Monday night DM. Dlnsmoro tWorloy swore out in Justice Bartlott's court an atUohmont upon the trunk of ono J. H. Wlllard , a pro fessional roller skater , who hai been hanging around Omaha for the past two weeks. At the tame time , a gentleman by the name of Lanannau aworo out a complaint against the same worthy , charging him with stealing n $30 over coat belonging to the complainant. Thcao legal papers wore placed in the hands of Constable Mnuniug , who went off post hnsto to servo them. It had leaked out that Wlllard had In tended to jump the town , and to defraud his creditors , who are ni numerous as the little twinkling stars that stud the deep blue sky. It was learned that Wlllard Intended to leave on the 8:30 : Denver train for the west. Accordingly Man ning repaired thither , expecting to find Willard there with the trunk. But ho was disappointed. Wlllard bad suspec ted something , and discovering that ho would have tbroo hours to wit for the train , had hastily unchecked his trunk , called a hack and waa speedily driven to the boarding house whtro ho had been stopping. The officers of the law bsfllod at the first turn made diligent search for the fugitive , but did not discover him until about half-past ton o'clock at night , calmly tcated in his rcom. Ho was Im mediately arrested , but was rolcasod on a promise to compromise. Ho settled the medical bill of Drs. Dinsnoro aud Wcrley , aud the attachment warrant was withdrawn. Ho was released from tbo compliant of theft preferred by Lanau- nan , on returning the overci.ut. The case ban thus been compromised , and Wlllard is free to go Denver-ward. OUTFITS. TO rouLisncns.
