of Mr. Lothrop , the now minister to
Russia. IIo did not seek the offico.
THE great problem with the democrats
of the Illinois legislature ia how to keep
Mr. Loepor out. They are staying up
nights in order to hat : h up some plausi
ble shomc.
WUKN a republican postnmitor la to bo
dlamltsad from office ho is summarily
suspended for causo. The departments
at Washington have been organized into
a vigllanco committee. They first sus
pend a man by the neck , and then try
him afterwards.
THE gitllng gun of Gnn. Mlddloton's
army la operated by an agent of the Con-
nosticat nunufactarora. Ho la reported
to have very effectively worked the gun
so far. The idea of sending out a gunner
with each galling is certainly worthy of
the shrewd Yankees of the Nutmeg
etato.
THE long and blttor contest between
Governor Sherman and Auditor Brown ,
of Iowa , has at lastbion decided in favor
ot the governor by the supreme court.
The action of the governor in suspending
the auditor ia declared to have been In
accordance with the law , which Is decided
to bo constitutional.
ACCOKDINO to Prof. Rlley , entomolo
gist of the agricultural department , this
country Ia soon to bo visited by trro great

the country ia liable to bo considerably
disfigured before snow flies again.

SECKETAUY BAYAKU considers th (

against Bret Harto on account of some
thing ho eald or did during the last cam
paign , but whatever it was wo cannot see
how It could In any way affect Mr. Cleveland -
land or the democratic party. But the
democrats think that Mr. Uarto has
played the innocent abroad long enough.
THE Chicago iboard of trade having
barred the Wcatorn Union out of Ita new
building booaueo it aapplted the bucket
flhopa with quotations , the Western
I' ' Union now proposes to give preference

about thla ii that the patrons of the
Western Union will insist on having Chicago
cage roporta because Chlc&co la the trade
center. The Western Union might as
well propose to farnlah to iho baukera
the Baltimore money market .Instead of
that of Now York.

upon tit ? retired men's lltt. Th.'a Jaw
provides for the retirement of men who
have served thirty pears continuonily lethe
the army. They ate to receive 75 per
cent , of the aggregate pay , clothing , and
ration allowance. Thli is an excellent
law , as it holds out some inducement to
the private soldier , and wUl no doubt
have a beneficial effect upon tiu > oonduci
generally of the army. There li roacon
to believe that It will greatly reduce tbo
puinber of desertion * .
BUSINESS.
The general movement in trade circles
throughout the country during the post
week is rcportad fair in the aggregate.
There hcs boon a slightly Increased
ollvlty in some lines of wholesale trade.
The export of refined sugars has boon
alto heavy , the advance in foreign
markets lending lo slightly stiffen prices.
The unsettled condition of the markets
IM somewhat crippled the export of
; raln. The cotton market haa been
ather sluggish , although prices have
generally welt maintained , According
o the Philadelphia Record "many of the
rgost corporation cotton goods mills of
Now England and the south have boon
operated it an actual loss during the patt
year , and very few have been able to
earn moro than running oxpjnsos. The
wool [ and woolen goods trade has bocn
nero active iiiaomo departments , There
lias been a lar o movement In carpet
wools , attributable lo the resumption of
work by the mills after the prolonged
abor strike. Some descriptions of car
pet yarns have advanced throe to five
cents per pound from the lowoet rates of
.ho . season , and foreign carpet wools
nro one-half 'cent higher than
L fortnight ago. Desirable styles of
prlng woolens have boon cloaoly sold up ,
and buyers in some cues have boon un
able lo duplicate the small orders placed
: arly in the Reason. The same class of
'abrics in fall and winter-wcighta has had
argo sales In small lots , ind leading mills
liavo booked orders that will absorb
'rom throo-fourths to thn total of the
season's production. There are plenty
of mills loan favorably situated , and
oods that have accumulated in the hands
of mamifaclnrara' agouts are about as
low of sale as ever ; but the situation as
a whole is much moro encouraging than it
was a few weeks ago. Throughout the
coason manufacturers have boon confining
production as closely as possible to actual
orders , and the pursuance of this policy
haa kept the market measurably free
from surplus atosks.QiPrlcca show no Im
provement , either on the raw material or
manufactured goods , but there is moro
confidence- ruling rates. There has
been a moro active demand for anthracite
coal from eastern and southern markets ,
where stocks have run low , but the local
market is exceedingly dull. Stocks , however -
over , are light , and the partial restriction
of running will prevent accumulations in
excess of demand. The iron trade , as a
general thing , continues quiet. "
The prices of grain have been affected
moro or loss by the disappearance of the
European war cloud. The unfavorable
crop reports , however , tend to maintain
the prices. Most of those reports rep
resent the winter wheat crop in very un
promising condition , and state that thous
ands of acres In various parts ofthe
country have been plowed up and sowed
to oats and othnr coreah. Although
future conditions may considerably im
prove the prospect , it is generally con
ceded that the crop in many Eccticns IE
Irreparably damaged , and a largo do-
croaao in the yield for the whole conn
try seems Inevitable. The foreign de
mand for wheat continues light aud un
satisfactory. The large supply wlthlc
easy roach of European buyers offsata the
effect of small stocks in the United King
dom , and makes exporters very indiffer
ent about anticipating the consumptive
demand.
Last week's failures In the United
States and Canada number 218 , as agalnal
208thc previous week and 240 the week
before. Failures are unusually heavy ic
the Southern and Pacific states , but ir
other sections , particularly In tlia west ,
they arc below the average.
NEBRA-BKA'S CLAIM BROKERS.
For Bovernl days , P. O. Hawes , of Omaha
attorney for the etate , has bean pushing thi
state' * claim against the government for expenses
ponses Incurred in repelling hostile Indiani
while the troops were lighting the confederacy
between April , 1851 , and Juno , 18S2. Senate :
Van Wyck rendered his assistance and to da ]
the secretaries of war and the treasury prac
tically certified to 82C.OOO and the state wil
receive that amount in due time. It ha ;
been successfully managed and Ilawca act
Van Wyck deserve much credit , A portioi
ol the claim known OB the Pearman vouchers
83,000 , will probably ho thrown out. [ ll'aj/i
ington Letter in the Onala Herald.
How much longer will the state au
thorities play Into the hands of Interlopers
lepers who want to act as stats chin
brokers ? Why could not our represent
atlvea In congress atlond to the claims o
the stall against the national govern
ment ? It la evident on tbo face of thii
report that Senator Van Wyck could hav <
( successfully prosecuted this claim with
out the assistance of Pat Hawes , but Pa
Hawes or any other claim agent ooulc
not have secured It without the aid ol
Senator Van Wyck. Mr. Hawes knovt
as well as wo do that the legislature ol
1883 abolished all ngenolea that had
been previously established , and the
ast legislature emphasized the act by
refusing to allow the claims of Messrs.
Kennard and Hawes. The small amount
voted to Mr. Hawos was purely a matter
of sympathy , but the state la not a char
ily Institution nor a pension bureau , We
have three members of congress and two
cuators at Washington to attend to the
business of this state , and If they are not
ompotent to do It wo bettor elect Tom
Kcnnard and Pat. 0. Hawes to congress.
So far , the collection of war and Indian
ilatms from the govornnunt has been of
cry little benefit to the state. No
sooner does the money get into the treat
ury than a whole horde of veteran claim'
anta besiege the legislature wlifc all sorts
of trumpsd up claimi , and the legvlaturo
blandly accommodates them by rating
i\way every dollar that has been recov
ered from the government. The woivt
of It ( a that tbo claim brokers and bogus
claim agents make up a corrupt lobby
which forms a nucleus for the jobbers ,
trader * , and cormorant * who hang around
.ho legislature at every session and exert
nch a demantlltlng influence upcn the
members that they utterly fill lo glvo us
ny wholesome legislation.
The DEE is kicking fmrfully bec n o Gen
'Hz Hugh Lioo WM appointed M ono of the
Isitors to West Point , and consumes nearly n
column of twaddle about the lack of loyalty
if the administration. As ono ot the union
lavers wo fall to gee anything wrong In the
tppointmont. If A rebel general could rcpro
icnt our government abroad nnder Grant ,
without a protest from the republican proas ,
we fail to see why Leo should not visit n tnlll
Ury post In this country without euch criti
ctstn. llosoy is gottin ? to bo a crank ,
Flnttstnouth Journal ,
The cranks that bollevo with us that
the appointment of Fitz Hugh Lee os an
honorary visitor to the West Point mili
tary academy is an insult to the army ,
and an incentive to disloyalty , are very
numoroua. They comprise , wo believe ,
not only the rank and file of the repub
lican patty , but thousands of democrats
who carried a musket In doloneo of the
union. There is quite a difference be
tween a robot general representing this
country abroad and a rebel who repre
senting the government at its military
academy , in which ho was educated at
the nation's expcnto. The academy is
the training school of the nitlon'a do-
fendorn , and every man roared in it Is
consecrated to the service of his country
and the supremacy of the flig whether
endangered by domestic tnrbulenco or
foreign invasion. Gen. Giant's appoint
ments of Mosby and Longatrcot did not
by any means meet the approval of the
republican press. They were resented
and denounced by many "republican jour
nals , and no paper was moro outspoken
on that leauo than the BEB.
Wo have lots ropcct for the con
verted republican confederate for revenue
only than wo have for an unreconstructed
rebel llko Bob Toomba or Jeff D-ivls.
President Cleveland has not perhaps
realized that Fitz Hugh Lee is an Im
proper person to bo saluted by the West
Point cadets , and feted by tbo commander
of the military academy. As Commander-
in-chief of the army and navy of the
United States , the president should bo
the last ono to establish a precedent that'
places loyalty and treason upon the same
piano.
J. AITLETON WILSON , who sued the
Chicago Tribune for § 100,000 damages ,
for libel in having published a statement
that ho had been indicted for murder ,
has concluded to accept the verdict of
$250 as a vindication , and ho has accord
ingly withdrawn his motion for a now
trial. This casa is of peculiar Interest to
the public , among whom there are BO
many persons who are always ready at
the slightest provocation to sue for libel ,
not so much to vindicate their character
as In the hope of ob'alning ' a largo sum of
monpy. They are not satisfied with a full
retraction and apology in case a
mistake haa been mado. Nothing
but money will heal the wound ,
but as a rule libel suits
are anything but profitable to those who
prosecute them for money. In the case
of Mr. Wilson , the Chicago Tribune
maintains that his verdict docs not vindi
cate him a whit moro than ho wan vindi
cated on the morning after the original
statement was made , when an ample
local and editorial explanation of the
statement and an expression of disbelief
in Us truth , and an explicit disavowal of
any intention to injure Mr. Wilson were
made in the columns of that paper. Not
satisfied with those , Mr. Wilson took his
cafio Into the courts with the result
already stated. The moral of tha story
is thus stated by the Tribune :
Juries are not likely to give exemplary or
anything more than nominal damages against
a newspaper which unwittingly issueo Incor
rect statements about any pernon , particularly
when n satisfactory amendt honorable is made
aud it Is ehonn that it entertained no malice
against that person and had no disposition to
injure htm. Tha course of The Tribune injtho
promises ia vindicated , and in this direction it
has established a precedent of great value to
the newspaper prsss in general which will not
only indicate the courao for it to take in
future , hut will act as a deterrent to Bailers
who may not bo satisfied with a thorough dis
claimer of malicious purpose and an nmpla
apology. In the rush and competition of
gathering and printing news any paper is
liable to be imposed upon and makn an occa
sional mlitake and where
, the error is
promptly acknowledged and all hostile Intent
disavowed andontlreabsenceof malice proven ,
successful prosecution would be hardly less
than persecution , And this was the view
taken by the jury in the Wilson caso.
THE now commissioner of agriculture
has made himself solid with the dairy
men of the country. He proposes to
open up awar on tbo manufacturers of
bogus butter during the next cession of
congress , when ho will urge the propri
ety of such law-making as will put a stop
to butter frauds.
WE have boon waiting patiently for
some time for a definition of " offensive
partisanship. " The New York Tribune
says that It means any republican post
master whoso removal will help the
election of a democrat to the United
States senate , and consequently to any
other office.
OMAHA cannot afford to stand still in
the matter of public improvements , and
particularly In regard to pavements.
The grading In the central part of the
ity should bo continued BO that all Im
provements hereafter shall bo made at
, he established and permanent grade.
ALL sorts of reasons are offered by ap-
illcants for foreign appointments why
they want to go to some particular place ,
but very law , If any , have the manhood
to aay that the salary is tha principal ob
ject , no matter where they go.
TUB city council should make all the
preliminary arrangement ! for going
ahead promptly with the public improve
ments or tbo 1st of Jnly when the fund *
bocorno available. Now Is the time to
got everything In proper shape.
WHY can't people make up their own
minds as to what they want in the way
of material for pavements ? Why do
they first petition for ono material and
then for another , thus confusing the
board of public works , and leaving the
matter In an unsettled condition !

Russia has always boon the friend ,
well-wisher and helper of this country ,
and has stood by us loyally in thnoa of
peril. England , on the other hand , and
speaking of its ruling o'asscs , has , until
recent years , only treated us with opener
or covert enmity or lofty contempt ; anJ ,
In view of the facts of oven recent his
tory , England could hardly reproach ua
If , In the coming contest , the pocplo of
thiscountry should side ogaiust It and
with the foe.
It is not generally known , probably ,
how trno aud loyal and unselfish a friend
Russia was to us In the melancholy days
of our civil war. England's treatment of ua
stira up bitter recollections oven now ; her
g'oatcst and best men would have been
glad to behold thla nation's overthrow ,
and did no llttlo to encompass it. Per
haps Russia did not prevent that catas
trophe. Bat if she did not , she at least
prevented a combination against tills gov
ernment lhat would have added foreign
war lo our civil strife , and moreover she
stood ready to fight ia our benalf with
out expectation of toward. AIox < mdor
II. and Gorrschskoff were upon the side
of the United States government from
the beginning. "I was very much im
pressed with the real friendship felt by
the Russian government for the United
States , " says Simon Cameron , who
succeeded Casslus M. Clay as min
ister to Russia In the winter of 1801-2.
t was a friendship steadily maintained
through our darkest hours and in the
face of groit European pressure. " "Rus
sia alone has stood by you from the first
and will continue to stand by yon , " eald
Qortscbakoff in October , 1802 ; "wo de-
elro above all things the maintenance of
the American Union as ono Indivisible
nation. The next month Napoleon III
made his proposition that Franco , En
gland and Russia Interfere to arbitrate a
peace In this countrybut ; while England
wavered , Russia promptly declined.
Then when It was feared that
England or Franco would recognize
the Confederacy , Gortschakoff said ,
"Toll Mr. Seward that the policy of
Russia in regard to the United States Is
fixed , and will not bo changed by the
course adopted by. nny other nations. "
Those wore gloomy days Indeed. There
was a general fear , amounting almost to
conviction , that some action of Franco or
England would involve us in a foreign
war , and Simon Cameron is responsible
for the declaration that Russia was ae-
crotly pledged to take sides with ua in
that case ; that this was the real object of
the ostensibly friendly visit of a Russian
fleet to the United States in the winter
of 18G3-4 , and that the purchase of
Alaska a low years later was in reality
prompted by Mr. Seward's dcslro to show
llussla our gratitude.
Russia was pirtly guided , no doubt ,
by memories of the Crimea. Then as
now the Russians regarded England with
implacable hostility ; bur. the motive , DO
far as it was the real ono , only brings
into stronger relief the hateful part
which England played in that Bad drama ;
and it would bo unjust to say that Rus
sia was not as well governed by a warm
friendship for this nation. Russia has
Indeed always shown It. As far back as
the beginning of the century Oathrlno
sided with the United States when Eng
land was proclaiming her hateful doc
trine of the right of search of our
shipping. And Alexander was partic
ularly interested In us because
ho was then engaged in his heroic strug
gle with his nobles for the liberation of
the Russian serfs , and clearly eaw that
our own bloodier warfare must have a
like Issue.
Yet , though we owe Russia much and
England nothing , our sympathies are
with England in this conflict , because in
spite of her faults England represents
civilization and llussla barbarism ; be
cause we can not , If England can , forget
our ties of blood and language ; because
Russian ascendency in India would be to
turn that country backward ; because
Russia Is the aggressor and In tbo wrong ,
and England anxious for peace and in
'ho right.

Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad. The cattlemen who
have grown rich off the free pastures of
the west , were not content to occupy
such portions of the public domain as
were not in Immediate demand by actual
settlers , but sought by bulldoalng and
shooting settlers , and fencing in ot largo
tracts of land , to exclude the homo
seeker from the privilege of building a
homo on tbo land reserved for him.
The arrogance of these people
caused congress to pass a law
at the last session onthorlzlng
the employment of the military
to forcibly tear down and remove tbo
fences so unlawfully constructed. Sen
ator Van Wyok was active in securingtho
passage of this law , and ho has recently
called upon the president to order out
the military to destroy the fences. It Is
to bo hoped that this will be done. The
recent murder of a homesteader in Cus-
*
tor county , shows the necessity for
prompt and summary action. This Is
the aamo rnncho onoo occupied by the
notorious O'lvo ' , who committed the most
shocking murders in the criminal annals
of tbo state , and who , through a limp
hiatus in Ihe law , escaped punishment.
It la high time that the settlers In Caster
county and other portions of the west
were protected from these outlaws , and
that the government enforce its law
against the unlawful occupancy of the
public domain.
