AcconmNO to the Republican , charity towards the ntgto should not begin at home , but in Kentucky. JOE MoDoxAU ) hcs bocn prilalnR Mr. Cleveland In an unstinted rammer.

I o could not stand the annoyance of being criti cised by the prccs nil over the country for leasing his building for a saloon. FI.OWEU has blossamed again. He la now laying his pipes for the democratic nomination for the govor norshlp of Now York. The republicans would like to BOO him nominated. THE Omaha high echool graduating clues this year will conaltt of nineteen inombeis. This speaks well for the high school , which is from year to year im proving in it ] educational standard and releasing in the number of pupil ) . TIIE rjporb that "millions of grass hoppers are earning out of the ground" in Colorado was not generally believed , am It has einco baen shown to ba n canard The Now Ycrd Tribune caya : "Tho in sects that are hatched below the fortieth parallel after May 1 are apt to bo moro numerous and. destructive In the neigh borhood of the wheat pit in Chicago than anywhere else. " Wr. still insist that Omaha must build a riilroad into Northern Nebraska if olio wishes to secure the trade of that rich section of the siato. No other onter- prisa would yield euch handsome returns. This is a matter that should bo taken in hand by I ho board of trade. Omaha can secure the capital to construct such a road , which ought to have been bnlll long ago. ACCOKDIKO to the estimates of the Chicago farmer's Review , the wheal yield of the United States will not excaoc 200,000,000 busheli this year , and it may possibly fall short of that figure. Jnsl how largo the falling off will be it is , however , probably too early to attempt an accurate estimate , no many factors enter ing into the problem between now and harvest timo. It seems to bo beyond question , however , that winter wheat IB badly damaged , and that tbo yield wil ! bo the lightest known for years. In the spring wheat belt the Review finds the outlook altogether more promising , auc puts the probable yield at 130,000,000 bnahels. This would make the tola' wheat yield of the country about 33C- 000,000 bushels , as agiiust nn average for the past five years of 404,000,000 , a falling off of nearly one-third. AN eight-hour bill has passed the lower hoDso of the Pennsylvania legislature. II provides a punishment for any employer who compels his employes to labor more than olght hours a day. Wo fall to see I any advantage to bo derived from tuch ' ' ' legislation , for It stands to reason thai eight hours of labor will bo paid for at a ' less rate than ton or twelve hours. Whether that bill becomes a law or not , laboring men will continue to work jusl AJ many hours a dsy as they may agree upon with their employers. If a labeling man can osrn moro money by working ton hours than ho can ia eight , which is an undisputed fact , ho is gelng to do it , and that Is all there is to It. The effecl of the Pennsylvania law will simply bo to abolish the standard of ten hours as a d ys vrork , and compel the payment for ' labor to bo made at a proportionate price per hour. Ex SEKATOU MCDONALD has perhaps deQnod offensive partisanship the mos accurately. Ho eays : Now in Indiana we have just two parties the democrats and the republican * , and every member of each party Is an offensive partisan Wo don't believe a democratic army can be led by republican officers , and having socurec the administration we want the means to use It , Tbat IB the general and preva'ent opinion in Indiana. And that is the opinion everywhere , It la a manly declaration , and there Is no beating about tbo bush In the state mont. If the democrats would proceed to tuin out the republicans from office simply becauie they are republicans no ono could find any fault with them , but when they pretend to bo acting according to civil service reform rules by preferlng charges of "offc mive partisinthlp" they are only rmklcg themselves tidlculoitj. They seem to forget that when xhoy turn out nn offensive republican they are put ting in his place an clFuaelvo democrat. It b a poor tulo that will not work both EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW. THE Republican , In a tno"column ar- tclc , endeavors to defend Its unropub- ( can attitude with rog&rd to the civil rights controversy whteh has nrlsou in ) maha. It not only assails the white men who take s'clcs with their colored > roUiron , but it nltomptn to belittle the question at issue. It refers to the mur der of n negro In Kentucky by whlto manwho stabbed him because ho shouted for Dlaino ; and because the murderer cannot bn convicted by reason of the In ability to find a jury that will do It , the Republican nsas thii fact as a text for a political sorinon to the Omaha frinnda of the colored race. The substance of this sermon is that a colored man is neb protected In the couth , that the amendments to the constitution are dead in that section of the conntry , and that thoio Omaha gen tlemen have not lifted up their voices in denunciation of this outrageom state ol affairs bat have made a great fuss over an Insignificant matter in Orcaha. The Republican says : In season and out of season , by dny and by night , wo Imvo written the story of the negro's wrontra and have fought with all the heart and all the Intelligence wo have possessed to place him where the old abolitionists had hoped ho might bo , and where the law has said ho should be. And now , because wo have not found it in our province to prow frantic over the refusal of Air. Boyd to permit Mr. Wood bey to eit In the parquet , it is intimated that the ItcpulUcaH is weak In the faith , The fact is that every ouo of the men to whom the Republican refers has never failed to exert his influence in behalf half of civil rights. That the negro Is not acooidod his constitutional rights in some sections of the south is tine , but that is no reason why ho should not ba given thoao rights in a free and enlightened eUto like Nebraska. The case * hat has arisen In Omaha involves a principle jus as important as any question that can bo raised under the civil rights bill. That it will bo decided in favor of the plaintiff there is no doubt. The law of this state is plain on this point. Nebraska Is no Kentucky by any means , An intelllgen and unprejudiced jury can easily bo found in Nebraska to try a case in which the interests of the colored man ara a stake. The friends of the colored man in Omaha are In no way responsible fo the stata of affairs in Kentucky They are doing all they can in the intercuts of the negro in Nebraska , where the state motto 1 'Equality before the law. " When they shall have enforced the law in Nobra&k it will bo time for them to look after th interests of the negro ihowhore. The Republican says that It has fongh with all the heart and all the intoll'genc ' it pojoetBQS to place the negro whore th old abolitionists had hoped ho might b and where the law said ho should ba Yet vi hen a question of civil rights arose in Omaha it belittled and ridiculed the matter , and now attempts to defend it conduct. THE TRADE SITUATION. The spring season for wholesale basi ness h about over , and merchants as i rale have ceased figuring upon any itn provemcnt In trade until nezt fall. A healthy revival is then looked for , as the eileot of the year's restrictions of prodnc tlon by the manufacturing industries am economy of investment by distributors and consumers will bo manifested In the development of larger requirements anc a healthful revival of activity in all lines of trade. Nothing has occurred during last week to relieve the monotony of the trade situation. Extreme dullness has been the rule In moat departments anc very llttlo activity has bcon observable servablo in any direction. Last week's failures in the United States and Canada number 206. as against 280 the previous week and 220 the week before. At- slgnmonta are light in all parts of tbo conntry. There has bson a very clew trade in tbo cotton and wool markets , without 1m- porUnt variation In price ? . According to the Philadelphia Record a few east ern dealers have boon operating freely in now wool In the uouthwoit , but the ma jority of the seaboard wool firms are re luctant to stock up , as present prices in the conntry are relatively as high as those now obtainable in the disturbing markets. Confidence is gaining ground , however , and a moro active move ment of now clips is anticipat ed. The woolen goods trade has been moderately active , and sustains the ! Improved tone recently noted. Loading mills bavo their fall products pretty well under contract , and , while there Is continued complaint about low prices and small margins , It Is probable that the woolen goods manufacturing Interest , as a whole , la In bettor shape than for many months past. The cotton goodi trade has relapeod Into dullness1 , as recent large Rales have supplied the near wants of jobbers ind they are now holdIng - Ing off until their purchases have been marketed. The anthracite coal trade baa continued dull , and there Is no change in the condition of the Iron trade. Con tumors In both departments are buying only for present requirements. The Philadelphia Record in Its weekly re view of lait Saturday soys : The decline of 4J cents per bushel In H heal prices during the week reflects the effect ol free selling on the speculative market and a general absence of speculative demand , It Is an evidence of the low ebb of confidence In speculative circles that In the face of the assured crop shortage and the comparatively low prices now ruling on wheat , the bears Imvo met with no llttlo resistance In their at tacks upon the market. Tbeie are the ele- mcntu of a reaction in prices in the big short utertst created this week and in the possibll. ty of renewed speculative buying on short crop estimates ; but the legitimate situation urnlehca no ground for the expectation of any material improvement in values In the cenr future. 1'orelgn market ) are lower than hey were * week ago , and f supplies on aod ftni In tight appear to bo ample for heir near requirements. There Is consequently quently very little demand for export. The movement of corn from farmers' hands has > een moro liberal , anil receipts at Chicago especially bavc been large , as that market has Men made the objective point for a good deal ( corn intended for custom shipment by the ako rentes. The arrival of largo lines ol cnnal corn at New Yotk has contributed to depress prices , and speculation in all gram centres has been bearish on account of the in creased supply and the weakness In the wheal markets. Compared with a week ago ptlcns are 3 to 4 cants per bushel lower on the sea joard. lliport demand has continued raoder ate but It has been better for corn than for wheat. THE Philadelphia Record confesses that it never regarded General Logan a a "model man , " but on his re-election to the United States aonato from Illinois it could not forbear paying him the fol. towing compliment : Ho is a manly antagonist ; there is in hi composition neither hypocrisy nor cant , am in a period when men in public life withou bis ability or his opportunities hava amnssci great fortunes ho remains honorably poor It Is also to ba said to his credit , that during the last few years ho has given gratifyini stems of growth and broadening of mind while hla conduit during and since the recon presidential campaign has been thnt of an \moricnn gentleman , who honestly aspired t a high oflico in the gift of his fellow-citizens and received their adverse verdict with man liness and decency. JEFF DAVIS has crawled out of bis shell long enough to intimata that ho does not express a very hopeful view o our fntnra as the respect , love and ven eration for the constitution which anl mated a citizen of the United State , before the war have now departed fron our people , and that the system of government ornmont erected by our forefathers existed isted only in nomo. It is safe to say tha the great majority of our people navi moro respect for the constitution than Jeff Davis over entertained. If ho hat boon tried under that cons'itntion ' , be perhaps would have known moro oi hi fataro than ho does now. THE epidemic of tumbling buildings ha not abated in the least. On Saturday three tenement hocsoa in Chicago csl lapsed , and although full of tenements a the tlrao no ono was hurt. The build ings belonged to an insurance compan ; nnd had been condemned two years ag by the building department , which , however over lacked the legal power to tear then down. It would nocm that the inauranc company was guilty of criminal negligence genco in permitting the buildings to b occupied by tenants at the rlek of the ! llvca. The greed fnr money , however will outweigh any coneidoratlon for hu man safety on the part of such landlords SEVERAL tests during the last few year have shown that ocean etcarrishipa hav a solidity and power of resistance whic is simply wonderful. The bow of th City of Roma is as perfect in ehapo an appearance as before it crashed throng ! the French fishing bark off the Newfound land bank : , and many people on th steamship hardly felt the collision , sc solid and macslvo w&a the vessel's con struction. The damage sustained by th City of Berlin , when the steamer rushei fairly against an iceberg a few days ago , proves to have been very alight , fn < not in any way dangerous to the safot of the ship , although the force of the collision vraa terrible. TIIE matter with Hanna , the now mln i ter to Russia , Is that a cloud has arisen over his prospects of taking a foreign trip. He is net likely to take his depart nro until after certain representations which have been made to the proaldon respecting htm shall have boon Investi gated. The postmaster of Craw fords vlllc , Ind. , has sent nn affidavit to the postmaster general to the effect that h bought a piper in that place and waa mulcted out of § 7,000 , mora than the paper was worth in order to secure the support of Mr. Hanna. So It wouk seem that there are sssno rascals oven among the democrats. IK its report to the general assembly the Proebytoilan board of foreign mle slons states that Its receipts for the pan year have amounted to $069,983 and its expenditures to § 757,035 , leaving a deb of $87,052. The board employs 440 or dalnod ministers and 1,114 , mleslonarles and has in Its churches over tweuly thousand communicants. Its work is carried on In fifteen countries , among eleven tribes of Indians in tnis country and among fourteen stations of Chinese in America. The board estimates ito ex penses for the present year at $750,000 , and asks an appropriation to that amount , GENEKAL BUTLKH has somowha changed the plan of hla proposed book. At first ho contemplated an autobiogra phy , but now ho Intends Instead of mik ing the volume [ a connected story o events , ho will aim at chatty paragraphs , devoting a chapter hero and there to reminiscences about one contemporary , and there a chapter to racy anecdotes about another. MILLIONAIRE MAOKAV , of Bonanza fame , Is said to have an ambition to bo elected senator from Nevada. Although bo has not resided In Nevada for several years that doesn't make any difference , and the size of his "bar'l" ought to secure ! ils election by a large majority , IT Is estimated that Victor Hugo's ' funeral cost over $5,000. That Is a small sum for the last honorj to so threat a man as Hugo. It costs that much to plant an irdinary American congressman.

It is said at the atato department that there are as many applicants for tbo uinsller consulships and llttlo commercial agencies as lor Eomo of the moro import ant diplomatic positions. There have been instances where natlvo merchants of sorno such country as Egypt would bid against each other for subordinate com mercial agencies under the United States at the disposal of the consul general un til ta high as § 10,000 has been given for a llttlo place vith scarcely any salary at oil , simply because the position was an advantageous one in point of itn exemp tion from troublesome laws , taxation , ots. Oco consul In Asia Is known to have made a great deal of money in rent ing out American flags to local trading vessels that were willing to pay § 200 apiece for the sake uf sailing under the United States colors.

Ho fixed the fee at 25 cents per head , nnd bed made tlnut § 20,000 out of it before U was discovered that ho p ld a r.ativa 1G cents per head , while he pocketed the other 15 cents for overseeing tha job. In Chins there used to be a system of foes whereby comu'a received $1 o ch for shipping Bailor' , but since Col. ATosby has boon at Hong Kong he has broken It up. Thus it is plainly to bo seen that there are more ways than ono to make money in cciuiular service. A. Childlike arid Hland Senator , Minneapolis Tribune. Some years ago some Wisconsin lands were advertised tor ealo under the gen eral law , and Senator Sawyer , then as now a largo western landholder , took c&ra to pus ; himself thoroughly upon the value of each parcel put up at auction. When the sale day arrived a party of eastern capitalists on the lookout for speculation were on baud to bid. They know Sawyer , and In evoty inatanca they raised his bid. They felt very much elated when they saw or thought they sw n look of annoyauco tt al over his placid countenance as section after sec tion was knocked dawn to them. They bought nearly every parcel upon which Siwyor set n pries , and wont away de lighted at their shrewdness. Some years after they visited Wisconsin and called upon Sawyer. Ho was delighted to see them , invited them to his house in Osh- koab , and treated them very hospitably. They were going to look at the lands they had purchased at the sale. Sawyer chuckled as ho shook each by the hand , and invited them to cill when they came back. They have not called to date. The senator expected to meet sharpers at that tale , and so got a friend to bid In all the best lands lor him , and secured the good timber lands offered. Tbo eastern men at ill hold the titles to half the bogs in Wisconsin. A Story ot Dan VoorliccB , Dan Voorhoos tells a good atory of iiimself , He appeared orico upon a time In a lawsuit out at Terre Hanto In which one of the chief witnesses on the other side was the mother of Senator Booth , of [ California. In bis free and easy way the tall sycamore asked questions that the witness resented , so It saemed , for though Inquiry after inquiry waa propounded not the sljghtest sign of attention came from the witness box. Mr. Vooorhees became Impatient and his questions grow a little snappy. Not a bit more effect was pro duced. Finally , in dlro exasperation , ho demanded In his own all-sweeping oratorical torical way whether or not ho was going a : o bo answered or not. Then , with a smile barely tinging her protest , the lady v urned to tbo lawyer of her friends , Dick Thompson , aud asked , with a sseming nnccence that ruined all that court room's tcnso of solemnity : "Mr. Thomp son , must I really s y anything to a man that looks like that r She pointed to Voorhcea and fairly shuddered. Mr Thompson , In his tuivo way , advised her to bo brave and answer the questions ol his Wabash friend. "Then , I'Jl do it 11 with ray eyes shut , " she said ; and she did. Mr. Voorhees is very proud of thle atory. True goodmsi , ho intiiti , does not always have beauty as its indlx.

When Bnrdiih wont in Martin ran out and made n bold dash down the street , apparently satisfied that ho had boon cor nered and was compelled to mike his escape by flaolng , or bo captured , which ho WRS anyway. The officer gnvo chaoo nnd fired two allots after Mnttin before ho haultod and per mitted himself to bo arrested. Ho was token to hoadquartcra , arraigned before Judge Stonborg , ind in default of § 1,000 ball waa sent up to the county jail , whore ho will await the action of the grand jury. In the moantlmo a tcarch had been rcado through Martin's room and tho'cflicora secured quite on invoice of plunder , which Iwaa at hotdqnartocB aa evidence against the prisoner Among the articles were ninety silk luudkor- chiofa and two stockings filled with fine jewelry. Where It all came ftora ia not known , but the supposition ia that Martin has boon stealing wherever ho wont , and accumulated the goods in that way. LINCOLN'S MONTJBinNT. Snid to lie Crumbling Away Futllo Efforts to Repair it. A correspondent who recently visited Lincoln monument at Springfield , under which sleeps the body of the great eman cipator , avers that it la in a lamentable atato. There is no reason to believe that it i ] going to fall down right away , but ho declares that fate is ccrtelnly In store for It. Repairs may main tain the place for year ; , bub Im portant parts of the atrncturo have twlco fallen away. The kojstono of ono of Its important arches Is wedged with bits of pine wood , which decaying , caused it to be rebuilt. The chambers under the terrace are filled with wooden bracer. This Important support was never held except by a few angle irons , and they so small ami far apart that the seams have broken open , the supports tot ter nnd the Immediate safety of the entire tire ttractnro is threatened. Rcpiits were ordered , and the whola east end' of the terrace was taken down and replaced. When the statuary came to bo placed on the pillars designed for It , they were found to bnvo Insufficient bearing to trust the bronzes upon , and they were required to bo rebuilt. Now the west chamber , OLrlng of the terrace , ia going tha same way. The monument was constructed under the auspices of the National Lincoln Monument asooc.'ation ' , Governor Oglonby being president. Funds wera contributed by the soldiers and eallors of the United States to the amount of § 27,000. Of that sum § 8.000 was raleed by the colored Boldiora. Several thousand Sunday school scholars gave § 20,000. This state In tire appropriations paid 877 000 , New Ycrk § 10,000 , Missouri § 1,000 , California § 500 and enough to msko up § 200,000 was secured by mis cellaneous contributions. An association TTCS formed at the ctito capital several weeks ago to keep the monument In re pair , but no active stepi bavo been taken to that end , and It la doubtful from the nature of the decay whether It can ba atrppad. \Vonndti in Animals , There are two principal methods , writes an English veterinary surgeon , by which wounds are repaired. The firtt of thoae , and the moro favorable of the two , IB the method termed by surgeons hoallcg by tha first Intention. Under favorable circumstances this takes place In an In ched wound when the cut surfaces are brought carefully together and maintained In close contact after blooding has ceased The two Bur/acea then bocoiuo cemented together by the fonnstlon of a thin inter mediate layer of now tissue. The othpr principal mode of repair IB healing by the second intention. That is what takes place ia largo incised wounds when the cut surfaces on not be brought and maintained in opposition , and it is the Invariable method of repair In punctured and lacerated wounds. Herd the gap in the texture becomes filled up by the growth of now material taking place from the bottom of the wound , whllo a now skin grows inward ) from the edge cf the wound. This skin , however , Is not ex actly similar to the natural healthy skin from which it extends , being thin , ner , more delicate , and without any ha r. A thiid and much rarer process of heal ing in wounds li what is termed Immedi ate union. In this , it is said , the divided surfaces being brought Into accurate con tact unite without the Intermediate growth of any now texture. It IB ques tionable if such ii really tha case , but It to certain that sometimes In ( mall wounds the cut surfaces when placed together ra unite BO speedily and exactly that no scar is left. Ia an incised wound treat ment in the first instance should bo dl- rooted toward favoring union by the first Intention. The essentials for this are a sound conetitutlon on the part of the ani mal , accurate and close contact with the divldea surface , and tbo absence of In flammation in the wound. Without man's Interference this process would loldotn or In never ensue In the lower animals , for In no all wounds except the cmalleat ( he cut surfaces gspe apart unless tome means be adopted to keep them together. The means commonly adopted by surgeons for this purpose are the application of strips of plaster aorois the Burfaoo of the wound , or tbo pasiing of sutures through irn Its edge. In adopting tbo former plan , few strips , aooordiag to the length of to the wound , should bo applied at Inter vals ; but the entire surface should never be entirely eovoren by the plaster. The surnaceB , moreover , thould not be i brought together until bleeding has been it arrested , for should a clod of blood be offueed into the wound it would prevent healing by this method. Sutures are all simply stltchcfl ueod to tie or sew the BC ! Defies or surface of a wound together. They are used of various matomlg , Buch thread , horsehair , cat-gut , and wire. qii | a Nothing further ueid bo said about the il/e ippllcatlon of these , tinea their icsottlon to nton wound should always bo loft to a reterlnary surgeon , In a punctured or a Jontmed or Jacjrated wound , where the lurfaced can not bo nulntalued together , where Inflammation ensues in sush a wound , then the treatment must bo that favorable by healing by the second inten tion. Inflammation , shown by redness , H oiling , aud great tondenusi of the edges of the wound , should be combattccl by Bssldcous bathli.g with hot water. In n contused and lacerated wound , such as "broken nocs , " particles of tand and other foreign rnat'or ' must bo carefully and lightly spunked from the etirf co ; in punctured wounds , or Blabs , it must bo made coitalu that nothing nnnins in the bottom of thn woniic' ; nrsd in nil clasios of wounds healing in this wny provision must bo made tu Mlotr the discharge from the wound a ready cscapn. With the last object it Is often noccs * Bury , In a punctured wound , to enlarge the opening , or to make what Is called n "counter-opening" tbat lo , f no running from the surface upward to the deepest part of the wound. The nccorstty for a free escape from the punctured wound is seen In the case of "pricks" ( f the feet. There are generally simple in their effects if the track of the nail bo cirofully fol lowed and enlarged ; but if not , the nail * bolo la apt to bocoiuo obstructed , and provo inanfllcicnt for the cscipo of the d'schargo ' from the wound. In tint case the discharge acoumu'atcB within the hoof , and gradusl'y ' forces its wny to ward the surface , in the direction of least resistance , nnd hence cemoa to burst out at the top of the hoof. In all wounds union is promoted by putting the put at rest. In the case o [ suoh largo animals os the htrso this is always extremely d.flicnlt . ; and sometimes It may bo neces sary to put the animal in tilings. Healthy waund.i are seldom much ben- cfittcd by thn application ( f lotions or otntinouta. When the wound Is of small fllza it is boat to leave it uncovered ; and lfit _ ba la summer it may bo emoarod with zinc ointment or with foity parts of olive oil to ono of carbolic acid. In largo wounds the surf ice should bo lightly cov ered with a cloth kept wet with a solu tion ot carbolic acid In forty pniti of water. When a wound shown what la called "prr.ud flesh" It should bo rubbed over at its moat prominent part with snl- phalo of copper ( blnostonc ) , or washed with a eolation containing two ounces cf sugar to a pint-bottle of water.
