THE Indian outbreak In the doparl ment of Arizont ia now acknowledged b General Crook to bo of a very eorlou character , and that It will bo a dlfficu ] matter'to nuppreaa It. It is hoped tha Gen. Crook will make some good Indian out of the murderous savages. "A dca Indi&ads a good Indian. " IT ic & little singular that not ono No braaka democrat bai applied for the , pc altlon of Indian ogent at tha Sante agency , which SB now vacant by reaioi of the resignation of Agent L'ghtnei ' There mujt bo some mistake abont thle It has probably been overlooked owln to the excitement caused by the ssrambl for postofficca. It Is a $1,200 prize tine should not bo allowed to bo captured b ; any ontcldo man. Tun general synod of the Lutheri church , ia session at Harrisburg , Penn. has selestod Omiha as the place for ih nest annual moatirg. This will bo quit an event for Omaha , as the Lnthciai chnroh IB cno of the most nourishing re llgious bodies in this country. At th protout ey&od the establishment of a college lego woat ol the Mississippi was prott ; thoroughly discussed , and the matter wa finally referred to a committee of mem hers from the western synod. Perhaps i Omaha makes the proper effort she cai secure this college , which would bo quit n prlzi. So far &a location is concernoi wo doubt if a belter phco than Omahi can bo selected. Ail , the public buildings in Washing ton , oxcapt the cipitol , have water coolers distributed throughout their cor rldors , The reason that there are n water-coolers in the capital is oxplalaei by the fitot that according to the con tracts or piivileqoi given to the keeper of the senate or house reslaurants th restaurant keepers reserved the right t keep water-coolers out of the building , s that it would not Interfere with their sal of baor. There is a law on the ntatut books which specially prevents the sal of beer or any other Intoxicating llquo In the capital , and yet beer and all othei liquors are constantly sold there openly and no effort Is made to prevent thi t radio , notwithstanding all that has boei said on the subject. Hero , then , is i splendid opportunity for Miss Cleveland If she esc only succeed In having water coolers placed la the capital , eho will bi doing a practical temperance work itha will make her famoni. A niLL rdatldg to convict labor , In troduoed in the Illinois legislature , pro ivldea that tcertain percentage of thi revenue derived by the state therefron shall bo set aeldo for the support of thi families of ccnplcts who arc left In deatl tnte clrcumstano3i. Thla Ii a now departure parturo In deallng rlth the difficult question tion f prison labor , and li certainly j huinana provision. The plan haa beet suggested from time to time , and it It if. to hoped that It will bacome a law In II1 < inols , as well ai in .every other state. In .connection with thli plan , a curtain percentage of the proeeida of hla labor ahould bo act aside for the benefit of Ilia convict , so that when ho ii released from prison ho will have jsome fanda with which to supply hfa immediate jvants aud keep him from committing crimes f jr the purpose of Rotting money. The convict knowing that ho will not ba turned oat upon the world penciled will have tome Inducement to tohavo hlmeelf while in prison and to continue his good oondcot when set free , j m THEiNKW YORK ELECTION. TTho coming campaign In Now York iromises to bo a very exciting political vent. Atido from the beating tliat it may have upon national politics , the 1m- monsa local patronogo that la dependent upon the roiultwill bring oat the fall orco of the two contending parties. The republicans having no federal offices , will naturally make every possible effort tc carry the day , not only for the utato patronage ronago , bnt In hopen of eccuilng and ro alnlng control of the itato adralnlstra ion nntll tlianozt presidential campaign The oflicos are many In nnmbor , ane some of them are lucrative enough t justify the politicians In planning , evci at this oatly day , to capture them. Th railroad commissioners , whoso -term I five years , each rdcolvo § 8,000 suporlntccdcnt of ntato prisons lotm five years , § 0,000 ; super Intcndont of public works , § GOOC superintendent of banko , $5,000 ; tupo : Intendentof lnsnranc , $7,000 ; one member bor of the court of claims , $5,000 ; thro quarantine commissioners , $2,500 each ono health ofllcer , paid by fens , amount ing from $40,000 to § 75,000 per yoai ojmmlsslonor of Immigration , $ COOC with fat pickings ; deputy at Oastlo Garden don , $1,000 ; nlno port wardens , $3,50 to $4,000 each ; commitslonor of laba statistics , $3,000 ; three state atsseson $2,500 each ; three civil service cominl : slonera , $2,000 each and traveling ex pauses ; commissioner In lunacy , $4,00 ( These are but a small portion of the aj pointivo oflicos. The list includes BO\ oral hundred , among which are 'India ogonts , salt snporintondoats , attornoyi gaino nnd 'fish ' protectors ; ooinmlssloi era of the { Niagara reservation commissioners of state survey ; stal entomologist ; managers , trustees , an commissioners cf the various state Inat tuttons , and so on. Most of thesa ofl cers have a good salary attached and tr. terms of nearly all of the incumbents e : plro during the next-two years. Bosidi the governor has a largo number of po oonal appointment ! , Including a privu' ' secretary , a military soorotnry , and a ha dczan executive clerks , messengers , an stenographer , and n , staff composed of tl adjutant general , Inspector-general , con mlsoary-gonoral , englneor-ln-chkf , jndgi Ddvocato-gonoralquarier-master-gonora paymaster-general , general Inspector < rifla and six aldea-dc-cam practice , - - ] Then thora ara numerous "ornament and sentimental offices , " as the pollliclat detcribo them , to bo filled by the rjovoi nor , who generally appoints to sue places men of wealth , lolaun cultnro , and Influence. The stoto officars to bo elected are goi ornor , secretary , controller , treasure ) attorney general and state engineer , a of whom draw good salaries , employ largo force of assistants and have heavy salary list. So It will bo seen tht the Inducements for exerting every effji to capture the state government are < the most tempting character. Shonl the republicans bo victorious they coul with this immense ) local patronage b able to bold the state and give it to th next republican candidate far presldonl The republicans under ordinary clrcnm stances can , according to the New Yor [ Times , elect a majority of th thirty-two senator * , and unless the ara very much moro demoralize than oppears on the eurfaco , the are very likely to do eo. The democrat roallza this fact , and it Is intimated the they will UEO extraordinary eifoits t copturo the senate. Some of them nr sanguine enough to assert that the nos governor will bo of their own faitri Conservative observers , realizing tha nothing Is certain In politics till it 1 actually settled , are willing to bdo ! the ! tlmo before making predictions , the Omaha taken snuff the Lincoln Journal snoezee JMo matter what position the Republics taken on any question , the Journc , promptly supports it. The colored pec plo ot Omaha need not be surprised therefore , that In the civil rights con trovcrcy which has arisen In this cli ; the Lincoln Journal endorses the attitude tudo of the Hcpublican , and at the sam tlmo attempts to ridicule and belittle th matter as if it wore a question of n moment. It asserts that the men wh have taken sides with the negro li Omaha "havo rushed In for a littl buncombe appearance as the champion of a colored man irhosa grievance i microscopic , " and "tho Inception of tin affair" la declared to ba ridiculous. ThI Is , indeed , n remarkable position fo a stalwart republican paper to assume The case which Mr. Woodby has instituted tutod in court la not so much In his owi posonal behalf as it la in the Interest o every colored man In Nebraska. Th object la to establish the fact that th negro In Nebraska IB entitled to "equal ity before the law , " both under the con atltntlon of the United States and fltat legislation. It Involves the qnestloi whether ho Is to have acceis to public re aorta , such as theatres and hotels , am to have accommodations upon , railway upon the tame terms aa white men. Thi grievance la far from being microscopic It Is visible to the naked eye , and thosi who are so blind that they cannot nov see It illl ba made to see it through thi medium of tbo courts , EXAMINATIONS are to b * hold at varl- ous places in Nebraska for admission tc he state university. It la hoped thai he young men and women of oar state will take advantage of this opportunity uoro numerously than they have in tbo a > t. So far the university lus been moro of a Lincoln Institution than It has state college. The list catalogue shows mt about 140 students out of a total of 73 came from the city of Lincoln , while IB balance are from other patU of the tato. Thta Is creditable to Lincoln , but cos not opoak well for the ttato at largo , 'hero ' ought * o bo five pupils from the ther sections ot the state to ono ram Lincoln , With the attendance that t-onplit to have out of a population I n early "SOOjOOO , tbo university could bo made ono of the best Institutions of earning In the west. The local examin ations as proposed by the culvert ity authorities , is , M the Lincoln Journal aps , "evidence of the doairo cf the uni versity faculty to co-operate wllh the loading public echools of the state In n harmonious nnd'systomatlo way , as well cs to bring the subject of attendance upon the university close to homo to a : many as possible of the young people who ohould attend It and to facilitate their matriculation. Incidentally i exposes to vlow a freak and doslrnblo in fusion of energy Into the management and an activity that will result In thi moro rapid growth of the institution It numbers and Influence , not to speak o the wider diffusion of its good work. " MAHSIIAL ODMMINOB has requested thi city council to Increase the police forci from 28 to 50 mon. Wo admit that thi present force la too small , bat the In croneo asked for by the marshal is a llttli too large. If the force wore Increased ti forty men wo think it would bo abou right. Bnt wo are opposed to any In crease whatever of Iho police force nntl It is thoroughly reorganized and the ap polntmonts are made upon an entire ! different basis. Civil service rulta shonle govern the appointments , The mei should bo selected with some re gard to slz3 , phyeical condition character and ago. Wo want young active , well-built , Intelligent and sobe men on the police force , and they ahouli bo appointed without &ny question as ti their politics , and when onca appointee they should not bo removed withou some good cause , no matter how of toi the administration may change In It political complexion. When the polic force is reorganized upon such a bas wo shall be in favor of Its increase t forty or fifty mon , but not boforo. Ther are some good policemen now employed bnt there are some that are utterly unfi for the position , The first thing to do i to wood out the latter , and roplaca then with first-class men. THE Rev. Heber Newton's recent cei anon on funeral customa has attracts considerable attention owing to his cover denunciation of the praotico cf following the dead to their burial placea and o mourners standing beside tbo now-mad grave. The frequently fatal illness con tracted in this way should bo a suflicion reason for doing away with the practice It should bo remembered that the buria of friends generally takes place when thi mourners are exhausted by watching o grief , and that they are , therefore , mud moro liable to contract disease than whoi the body and mind are In ahoallhfnl con dltlon. The lesson sought to bo im pressed by the Rev Newton Is that ou : duty to the living should not be lost sigh of while attending to our duties ta thi dead. Ay effort Is being made in Kansas Cltj to create a fund for tha erection of i Young Men's Christian association build ing , and the prospects are that It wil prove successful. It is regretted that i similar attempt in Omaha was a failure The more public buildings that a city hai the moro ovidenca it affords of enterprisi and liberality. Wo hope tbat anothoi effort will bo made. There Is no gooc reason why money enough cannot bo secured cured to purihaso a central site and erccl a handsome building , which , beeidea fur niahing ample quarters for the associa tion , would produce a good revenue fron : rentals. The way to accomplish this ob ject is to organize a stack building com pany , on business i rlnoiplea. ACCOIIDINO to a recent letter fron : Agent Gasman , in charge of the Or or Oreek reservation , the proclamation oi President Cleveland ordering the white sqnattoia off the Indian lands has beer obeyed by only a portion of tbo in- trudera. Ugly throata are made by thest who remain , bnt as yet the Indiana have kept the peace with astonishing patience , The agent also tays that the stones of the loss which will accrue to'tho white squat- tore when they are finally ejected arc greatly exaggerated , as the shanties they have built do not average In value more than ton or fifteen dollars. The squat ters have engaged counsel and have sent an agent to Washington to make a special effort In their behalf. THE pleasure that Is afforded First As sistant Postmaster General Hay In decapi tating postmasters has restored him to health to saoh an extent that ho now confidently states that ho will not be compelled to resign. His physical condi tion Is 10 much Improved and bis appe- tlto la BO much Increased that it require ! about a hundred postmasters a day to satisfy him. . THE proposed Eogllah tax on beer and spirits has created great Indignation among the guzzlers of the United Kingdom , Diead and butter csnld prob bly be taxed without a protest , but when It Is proposed to derive a revenue from beer there is a great howl all along no line. WE notice that several base-ball players have been convicted and fined In Cleveland - land for playing base-ball on Sunday , Iho Omaha .club would ba perfectly safe u Cleveland. It cduld not ba convicted if playing base-ball on Sunday or any ither day. IJT the matter of widening the walks on Fflriwm street to the curb line every ought to be treated alike. Some persona have boon compelled to widen tholr walks , while others hftvo done noth- ng. They either pay no attention to ho orders of the chairman of Iho board of public work ; , or else , for some reason or other , they have not boon notified. N Iho last batch of postal appoint ments Nebraska waa not overlooked. John Ivtttlo captures Iho postoflico at Soward. Nevertheless the Nebraska democrats continue to boll over with Im patience at the slowness of the adminis tration In displacing "offensive partisans. " STATK .JOTTINGS.

It cannot bo aald that society women at the capital show the same Inclination toward literature as the statesman. In fact meny leaders of fashion hero have no moro literary taato than the mulds who curl tholr hair. They can , of couno , converse grammatically , give n borrowed opinion ou the litest novel and even know the namcn tf the loading pot.ti and novelists ; but beyond this they elo not penetrate. There are eomo , however , and thu number Is not small , who deserve all praise for thtir talent and learning. Among these two stand pro-eminent , Miss Cleveland nnd Mrs , Dhlgren , widow of the admital. A great deal has been written about the literary require ments of the president's sister , and per haps they have been somewhat exagger ated. Still it cannot bo denied that for solid knowledge , wide reading nnd ab sorbing bvo of books , Miss Cleveland Is clearly lirjt htnong the women of society. Mrs. Dfthlgron Is not such an extensive scholar as Miia Cleveland , nor quite her equal in intellect. She ia just M devoted to lotterj , however , and a great deal moro ambitions. She ia known as the author of three volumes of variable merit. Her first work was the life of Ulrlc Dahlgron , her stepson , who foil in the famous raid on Richmond. Of course thin volume was n labor of love end well written - ton , if wo judge from the favorable criticisms with which it met , "Legends of South Mountain , " her next produc tion was not BO successful , bat showed considerable vermtlllty. The latest work from her pen , a novel caricaturing high Ufa at the capital , lisa had such n wide circulation and has been so much talked about that every book reader has raid or heard of it. She is literary au thority in social circles and was the lead ing spirit of the very oxclnsivo belles- lettres society which flourished heron few years ago. The moet noted members were PresidentGatfield , George Banoioft and a half dozan senators. Mrs. Dihl- gren lives mcsi of the tlmo at her country residence on South Mountain , overlook ing the bittlo field , She is a very prond , handsome woman , resembling In appear ance and in style of living some of the stately duchesses of whom wo road In English novels. Her estate oxtondi over several square miles and Is a perfect typo of Middle Ago feudalism. Her tenants are like BO many vassals , nnd very faith ful ones , too , for a kinder "L iy of the Caatle , " wai never seen. Her Income is spent largely In building churches and school houaos for the poor. For mllea around she la an object of veneration to the paoplo who prosper ou her bounty. All alone , without husband , child or near relative , she rules her llttlo domain. It Is said that she h&a received more ofFers of marriage than any woman In to- cioty , bnt nho aeems to find enough happiness in occasional social enjoyments in tha pleasures of her country homo and In literary work. -\v. \ L. it. The Kearney Poatolllco Squabble. Kearney Prcs. Mr. J. E. Gllleapio , a democratic law yer of Kearney , wrjto to Dr. George L Miller a Utter , on Monday , of last week , in which he gave the Dr. a severa castl- gatlon for seeming the appointment of the "Carpot-bagger" Morgan , to bo post master at Kearney. Dt. Miller returned the letter to Mr. Jaun Boyle , the boss democrat of this tection , and asked him what it meant , and directing him to wrlto him the "wowt side" of the Morgan business. Mr. Boyle conferred with aornp democrats and desired the ono who futniehod us this Information , to write to Miller , and till him tbat Morgan's appointment gave entire satis faction. Our democratic friend declined to do so. He cauld not Ho to aid Mr. Boyle. This letter has caused a declari- tion of war by Morgan and Gillesplo. This declaration of war hsa brought to light Bovoral letters written by Gecrgo L. Miller to democrats here , which go to show him up , as ono of the most Infam ous political liars In the state. Oan gent leman requested that , In the light of recent events , ho desired to publish a letter Miller had written him Miller answered hurriedly and said no ; but If wo wore the party holding the letter , wo would pub lish It and let Miller stand convicted of lying that all might know and measure him at his worth. Mr. Boyle fa showing confidentially e/f course , the Gillospto letter , and Miller's reply to Boyle , In regard to it , and there is blood on the touta of the democracy of Kearney. But Mr. J. Gillespia Is too much for Morgan Miller , Moylo , & Co. , Intellectually and will down them all In the near ] uturo The spalls huntoro , of the democracy , do not control a dczan votoa In Buffalo county , although our frlond Boyle , told Doc. Miller , that when ho came to the Bounty , the highest democratic vote polled was 280 , nnd that after ho and Morgan organized the prrly , they polled over 1,200. Tnls was a most barefaced falsehood. The combined fneion vote was over 1,200 nnd at least 750 of these srotoa were polled by anti-monopolists. Iho campolgn In this county , waa organ ized and carried on by antl-monopolfste md three-fourths of the work waa done by them , and yet , Boyle and Morgan , iway from homo claim all credit for the Nomocracy , and assort that they did it.

Lincoln ns nn Economist. Washington Latter , President Lincoln , ttarod In the lap of poverty , was very economical. When ho came to Washington ho had saved from his professional earnings $20,000 nnd ho did not ewe a dime. During his presi dential term ho aaved from his Hilary of $25,000 a year , $00,000 , which Henry D. Cook Invested for blinin government securities. Ho was not a slovenly man but ho bought cheap clothes , and cared little whether they fitted him or not. After he came to Washington , Mrs Lincoln used to see that ho waa alwaj s proEontablo , but ho often rebelled , and regarded white kid gloves ns an unmitigated nuleanco. While clothes were to Mr. Lincoln only something to cover him up , ho only ate because it was a duty , and did not know what was good to oat any moro than ho did what was good to wear. Ho never drank intoxicating liquors or used to bacco In any form. Neither did ho know how to play any game respectably well. His Illinois friends Bald that it was as good aa a circus to see him play a game of billiards. While ho occasionally told stories which were "off color , " no ono over charged him with an immoral act , and the moat accomplished olrens of the capital failed in their attempts to beguile him.
