Tun Chicago city council has adopted
a uniform ealoon license of $500. This
baa been done under the high llconso law
of Illinois.
MB. GLADSTONE is doing a very exten
sive credit business. Ho asked for $50-
000,000 , and the house of commons voted
It without n word ot objection.
Two small job printing protsos have
boon ordered from a Now York manufac
turer by the Russian government for use
In Afghanistan. They aio probably Intended -

the army. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TUB Herald still harps on the dismissal -
missal of Gorman. The only fault thai
can bo found with Marshal Onmmlngs is
that ho did not dismiss him long ago. Foi
further particulars Inquire of John A ,
CrelghtoD , who Is good onoagh demo
crat even for the Omaha Herald.
IF the auditor and clerk arc to occupj
the eamo room in the now court house
as la now proposed , there will bo a span
room at the disposal of the city. It oc
curs to us that the board of public worki
ehonld bavo that room because the ]
will have to frequently consult tin
city cnglnoar and his records.
WHEN Mr. Paxton takes charge of thi
old court house property the city wll
have to vacate the jail. This will compel
pol the city to make some arraugemon
for n station house , and stops should b
immediately taken In that direction
The foot Is that as wo grow wo shal
need moro than one station house.
THE Western Union company Is ontl
tied to a great deal of cradit for expedl
ting the special dispatch which was tele
graphed exclusively to the BEE , givln
the full report of Gladstone's speech o :
the $55,000,000 war credit. The dis
patch contained nearly 4,000 words , an
was transmitted over five wires froi
Chicago to Omaha within forty minutei
MARY ANDKUSON recently proeonte
Alf. Tennyson with a bottle of old Ker
tucky whisky. Ho took ono drink , on
then Immediately produced his poem o
"Freedom. " His latest effort , the "Yo
yon" poem on the British fleet is the n
suit of a second drink. His friends hoi
that the bottle is now empty , otherwii
Mr. Tennyson will have to bo rankc
among the ordinary spring pools.
MR. PniTcnETT has filed his npplie
tlon at Washington for the office
United States district attorney of No'
raska. Warren Swltzlor Is also an nppl
omt for the place. Wo wonder whit
ono of these gentlemen Mr. Juan Boyl
the unknown , who seams to have take
charge of the distribution of federal pi
la-Nebraska , will recommend. The a
poiutment depends entirely upon M
Boylo.
THEIIE baa been some objection rain
on the part of people living near Fo
Omaha against having the rltlo range 1
cated in that vicinity. The rifle range
now located , however. Is perfectly sal
and no reasonable objection can bo urg
against It. The bullets bury themsolv
In the sldo of a hill , west of the fort , ai
there is not the least danger. Fc
Omaha Is the proper place for the rl
range of this department , and wo thou
regret to see it removed.
MAYOU BOYD has sent In only four c
of the dozen or moro appointments whl
thomayor ; ! required to make at t
beginning of his term. T
of these , the chief of t
lire department and his assistant , w <
re-appointments that weromado as
moro matter of form because there we
no other applicants for the poaltloi
Thomas Sir 1ft , the nominee for strc
commissioner , Is a man of good topi
against whom no objection whatever c
ba urged. He la well qualified for t
work , and in every way truatwortli
Judge Boneko , who his been named I
marshal , has , in our opinion , made a si
Ions mistake In allowing his name to
used for that place , At his ago and wl
bla easy-going habits wo quoition whet !
ho wlll nuke an efficient chief
police. In fact his best friends i
gard his appointment to the mmbalsh
as'a blunder on the part of both t
mayor and himself. Wo are told th
the reason why Judge Beneke his bei
chosen for this position Is bocan
Mayor Boyd wants to glvo this phco
the Germans. Now , it strikes us that i
particular nationality should own this i
any other position. If the Germs
Americans can present for appointment
man who has special qualifications fi
the place above that of any other cand
date and superior to the present marsh
ho would be the proper man to appoin
But it Is sheer nonsense to thiust M
Boneko upon the city at marshal for i
other reason than that he la a German.
THE FENCES MUST GO.
If there Is wanting any proof that Sen
ator Van Wyck Is a true and faithful rep-
roiontativo of the people , whoso solo
aim Is to tocuro the public welfare and
oxerclso his influence in the Interest of
the state , It will be found In his latest ef
fort to invoke the aid of the president in
behalf cf the settlers of western Nebras
ka as against the encroachments and high
handed outrages of land-grabbing syndi
cates and cattle companies. Senator
Van Wyck has called upon the president
and entered a remonstrance against the
further continuance of the Brighton
ranch company as trespassers upon
the public domain In Cnater county ,
where the settlers , who attempted to take
up homesteads or who have already done
so , are bulldozed , murdered , or driven
off by the employes of the company.
This Brighton ranch tyndlcto has in
closed with wire fence a ( net of land
thirty miles square in violation of law
and in deCanco of the authorities. It
will bo remembered that this company
was ordered by thu government to take
down Its fence , but instead of complying
with the order it managed to have itsell
made defendant In a long-winded law
suit brought by thegovornmont. This case ,
as wasexpootod , has dragged wearily along
and is still in the courts. The fences re
main up , the company continues as a
trosapassor , and homesteaders are treated
OB Invudors. It Is no wonder that Sena
tor Van Wyok thinks the slow and un
certain proceedings of courts do not meet
the requirements of the case , and that he
bai come to the conclusion that the onlj
effective way to settle such matters Is tc
take arbitrary and Immediate stops undoi
the anti-fencing law to romovotho foncoi
and open the public domain to settle
mont. This Is what ho has naked Proti
dent Cleveland to do. That Senator Vor
Wyck wUl succeed In his effortwo _ hav (
every reason to believe. Ho Is certain ! ]
to bo commended foi his action , as wcl
as for his constant vigilance In behalf o
the homesteaders. The fact is that Governor
ornor Dawes should have taken stops li
this matter long ago , but ho does no
teem to have comprehended what th
duties of a governor are in any such ai
omorgoncy. Perhaps It is just as ivoll
however , if the senator can accomplisl
the same result by a personal appeal t
the president.
PENSION FRAUDS.
General Black , the commissioner c
pensions , Is evidently determined to dro
all frauds from the rolls. His Invcetlgo
lions have already been rewarded by th
discovery that attho Philadelphia agenc
102 pensions have been drawn for eom
time In the names of pensioners who hav
long since died , some of them bavin
boon dead ever since 1871. Thoto per
sloes , which have thus been fraudulent !
drawn , have boon stopped , together wit
these of seven widows who remarried i
1881 , and havoslnco continued on'.fet
rolliiThb Pluiadolphia pbnsion agent ;
responsible for these frauds , as ho kne
the facts , or ought to have know
thorn , but failed to notify tb
commissioner. Ho will bo sued for tl
.moneys that ho has thus unlawfully di
bursed. Before Commissioner Black go
through with his work of investigate
ho will find a very largo number of sue
cases In various parts of the country
together with frauds of all sorts. \ \
venture to say that he will discover a
astonishingly largo number of bogus pel
sloner * men who never served In tl
army in any capacity , nor any of whoi
relations ever smelled gun-powder. Tl
claim agents In their zeal to make f o
have encouraged all torts of frauds , ar
have not hesitated to Induce men to coi
mlt the boldest kind of perjury in ord
to got their names on the pension roll
Furthermore , the government ponsli
agents have not as a rule exercised di
diligence and care in the discharge
their duties , while some of them wo ha
no doubt have been guilty of aa fraud
lent practices as are charged agatnet tl
claim agents. Wo believe In giving
every soldier everything that Is his d
under the pension laws , bat wo do n
believe in permitting any person to dra
a cent of the pension funds unlees ho
estly entitled to It. Wo hope that t !
commlesioner will thoroughly lavestigr
and rovlso the pension list from bcgl
ning to ond. If this Is done It will
materially ropuced , and hundreds up
hundreds of thousands of dollars will
saved annually to the government. '
weed out the frauds , ana punish them
they doeotvo , will provo a big nndorta
ing , but It IB something that must
done. It h&a been neglected altogoth
too long.
THE action of Attorney-General Gi
land in countermanding hla pleuro-pne
monla decision within tix hours after
was Issued naturally created tome at
prlso , and the public was at a loss to a
count for this sudden back-action. T
explanation la now given that men Intt
cited in stock-raising In Kansas and i' '
Indian territory exerted their Inflnen
In the first place to have the deciili
made which permitted Dr. Salmon , chl
of the veterinary division , ta kill catt
supposed to be Infected , the govornme :
paying for all such cattle killed by oflicl
order. The attorney-general became oo :
vlncod that a gigantic steal was intend *
by mailing claims for cattle not killo
andhonco | the Immediate reversal of his d
olalon. There la a strong probability tbi
extensive frauds were contemplated at
would have been attempted. The fact
that the payment for the killing of di
eaied cattle under any circumstances
rather a questionable policy , and the pos
tlon of the attorney-general Is probab ]
correct. There are plenty of ways fo
effectively using the government funds ft
stamping out contagions cattle dheasi
without paying for the cattle tbat ba\
to bo killed. Such a course ts simply
making the government to the extent of
its fands for this pnrpoio an insurer of
Hvo stock. If live stock owncra want to
insure themselves against loss , lot them
patronize companies that are organlzcdor | (
that purpose. They ought not to expect
that the government will aot ai Insurance
company , and that , too , without charging
any premiums. That Is asking a little
too much.
HOME TRAVEL.
The fear of cholera will greatly diminish
the tldo of travel from this country to
Enropo this season , but that la no reason
why Americans , who are fond of travel
ing , cannot travel and BOO something that
they have never soon bofoio. They need
not go beyond the limits of their own
country. The trouble with most Ameri
cans that go to Enropo la that they arc
altogether too anxious to vliit foreign
countries before they have soon then
own. It is no uncommon thing foi
an American traveling in Europe to sud
denly find himself lamentably Ignorant
concerning the noted and Intcrostlnj
places In the United States , and utter
ably unable to glvo satisfactory
answers to questions that are naturallj
put to him by intelligent Europeans , whi
In the course of conversation may bo Incidentally
cidontally seeking information relative b
the now world. Why Americans shouli
bo so anxious end indeed thoughtless ate
to rush across the Atlantic before the ;
have have taken a trip across the contln
ont or around the great lakes , or bar
visited Niagara , and the principal summer
mor resorts at the seaside and in th
mountains , or have become roasonabl ;
well acquainted with the American metre
polls , the national capital , and In fact a ]
the great cities , ' is something wo ca
hardly understand. But this Is not nl
There are hundreds of places the
are of unusual Interest , and which are nc
as yet BO common as these wo have mor
tioned. The grand scenery of Coloradt
the Yellowstone national park , Shoshon
Falls , and the Yosemite Valley , Is nc
only grander and moro Interesting an
moro wonderful than anything that ca
bo Ecen In the east , but there is nothin
In all Europe that can equal It. The
there are hundreds of famous cavei
springs , mountains , lakes and other at
tractions In various sections of the coui
try. There are really but very fo
Americans who have really seen the !
own country , yet an untold number ha\
completely "done" all Europo. It is t
be hoped that these who have never vli
itod Europe , but contemplate such a trij
will do a little homo traveling befci
they cross the water , and to thoi
who have traveled In foreign lands v
would suggest on American tour.
TUB attorney-general of Dakota , wl
has investigated the matter of the Cro
Creek reservation , sajs that the numb
cf claimants number about two thou
acd , probably representing three to
family or six thousand actual settlers 1
all. He has found no ovldenco that the :
are any speculators figuring with tl
lands or the settlers , nor has ; ho font
men holding claims that have the
houses In town , as la common wbcro bus
ness men go out and.tako . up claims. Me
who have families there are actually r <
siding on the claims with them. Tht
have endured great hardships , and she
evidence of bard work and of bell
pioneers , who are evidently trying to g
a home of their own. There are on
1,100 Indians , including men , worm
and children , and there IB plenty of lat
for them , even alter the present whl
Bottlers are all supplied. The attorne
general nay a that the cottiers will n
resist the president's order to vacate tl
reservation , but will use all the 'hone '
able moans within their power to eocu
the lands eventually , if they cannot i
so in the Immediate future. It wou
seem from his statement that there a
none but honest , active settlers on t
reservation , and if this is true thi
Interests ought to be carefully coniider
by the administration , which has be
hd to believe that the reservation w
principally taken up by end in t
Interest of land sharks.
THE appointments of Mayor Bo ;
have very properly baon referred to t
appropriate committees. There is
need of any haste , aa the public interei
cannot Buffer by delay. Although t
council Is two-thirds republican there n
bo no disposition to obstruct Mr. Bo

Thla Is simply applying business prln
pies to the management of our ci
affairs. No prudent business man won

COL , GUY V. HENBY , major of tl
Ninth cavalry , who has just been a
signed to duty as instructor of rifle pra
tico at Fort Omaha , ia a Tory dlstl ;
gulshed soldier. Daring the war of tl
rebellion ho rose from the rank of secor
lieutenant to that of brigadier gener
and brigade commander , and wis e
gagod In many Important battles wll
great credit to himself. In Goner
Crook's campaign agatntt the Slonx In
1876 Colonel Henry was most danger
ously wounded at the battle of the Rose
bud. Ho was shot through the fate , and
wna carried from the field a distance of
forty miles on a trAVoiz , and wai then
convoyed 240 miles to the railroad , a
trip which under the same circumstances
would have killed any ordinary man. The
wound , which has disfigured him , has
never hcalod , and It is a constant source
of pain and danger to Col. Henry. Ho
is a man who has done enough to deserve
anything that the government can do for
him , and General Howard , in assigning
him as instructor in rifle practice at thcsa
headquarters , has done a very graceful
aot.
THE voluntary increase cf wages on
the part of the Lowell carpet manufao-
Ing company created a great deal of
agreeable astonishment not only amsng
Its 1,700 employes , but among the entire
population of tha great manufacturing
cantor. Tbo advance restores the wages
to what they were before the last reduc
tion In February. Such a movement on
the part of a largo cosporation , or any
other employer , Is almost unprecedented ,
and the Lowell manufacturing company'c
example Is worthy of imitation. The in
crease of wages is an ovldenco of return
ing prosperity , end la' ot course a verj
encouraging sign. If all employer ? , when
compelled to reduce wages would promise
as did the Lowell company , thai the )
would rottorn prices whenever busmen
woold warrant it , there would bo lees dls
content and fewer strikes among thi
employes. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The head of Phil Thompson was preser

Speaker Carlisle was waiting to see hli

technically , Commissioner of Intcrci

an alliance between the Admltittratlo

test for the Speakerabip. 80 bitter iith
feeling , and to great the desire to weaken

the fear of n extra cession , which the

Randal li not likely to enter the Speak-
orship contest , nor to leave the field to

Now York or Ohio may measure swords
with Kentucky.
The f tot that Randall declined the
Treasury portfolio , together with the
strong probability that Manning will retire -

many to predict that the former will final
ly take the place. But ho will not. The
Treasury Department is no place for an

when first purchased Is placed in his slal
Then ho is led to his position sovera
times and each time led back to his sta !
and the door closed. At last a man got
behind him with a whip. The gong I
sounded , the door files open and the hort
Is struck smartly. He generally know
his position and gets to It. Ho is the
led back and the exercise Is repeated
After a while the whip is dispensed wit
and the horse gradually grows moro per
feet in his work. "
"Do yon find it hard to got intelligen
horsea ? "
"Oh , no ; all horses ore intolligcr
enough. It Is a very Intelligent nnlina
yon know. I don't believe I ever saw
nero taken Into an engine-house the
could not be trained In a few days. 1
only requires a little cira and attention.
"Do not some horses become mor
proficient than others ? "
"YcB. In hitching up for Instance ,
have seen horses which would get boild
the polo at various dlttances from th
wagon , while others stand just the prope
dlstacoa so the traces can be easily fast
ened , and never vary two Inches. Then
some horses got restlesi before the door
are opened , while others do not move un
til every thing Is ready , and they are eon
on a jump.

An Incident Illustrative of the Ton.
tler-lIonrtcdncBH of the Great
General.
Dr. JOB n W. McLolsh , of this city ,
formerly of the Twenty-sixth Inwa vol
unteer infantry , Third br'gado , First
division , Fifteenth army corps , eaya the
Cincinnati Enquirer , relates the following
pathetic Incident , ( hawing Gon. Grant's
klndnuis of heart , which at this time
will bo appreciated by oil his old
soldiers : The army was encamped
at lounq's Point , La. Au order
had beeu promulgated by the
general to the effect that no officer should
be ullcmod leave cf absence until of tor
the capture of Vioksburg. I had a llttlo
girl at homo who was my pot and Idol ,
Ono tnornlng I received a letter from
my wife which contained the following
sentence : "Como homo Immediately If
you would see Winnie nllvo. " Startled
and fearful lost I should bo too Into to
BCO my darling child again , I hastened to
prccure a leave of absence , and succeeded
In gelling It regularly approved until I
reached Gen. Sherman's headquarters ,
where Irecolvod Btomref nsal "
a ; "Nojasol-
dler should know no family in time of
war. " 1 turned away , knowing I could
go no further , when I heard instructions
given to an aide do camp to take dis
patches to General Grant , whoae .head .
quarters were on a boat , three-quarters
of a mile away , but into the rain and
darkness I impulsively rushed after the
aide , and with him made my way to the
boat. Appealing to Major Bowers for a
personal Interview with General Grant , I
was ushered Into tbo presence of the general
oral , whom hitherto I had thoaght.Iobo
stern and unapuroscbablo. HoRruotod mo
with a kindly salutation. I told mystery
story , and know by the moistened eye
and sympathetic volco that tbo gnat general
oral had also a great heart.
"Approved twenty days' ' leave -of ab
sence , with transportation to and from
Cairo , " was his order. Then , turning tome
mo , ho said : * 'If you are required to re
main longer , do so , but report to mo In
penon on your return , and I sincerely
hope that you may not find your daughter
as ill as yon anticipate. "
My llttlo ono died , and had boon
burled ten days when I reached our
western homo in fonrn.
