NO MORE GRAND JURIES.
The grand jury now In sostion Is prob
ably the Ust rtguhr grand jury that
will over servo in this county. AccordIng -
Ing to the law passed by the last legisla
ture , the regular grand jury has been
abolished and the ' 'Information" system
his boon substituted. The law provides
that the several courts shall possess and
Gxercleo the tame power and jurisdiction
to hear , try and determine mledomcixn-
ors and oflentos , to lusuo writs and pro-
coEses , and to proceed as In caios of like
prosecution upon indictment. It will bo
the duty hereafter of the district attor
ney to file Informations and conduct
criminal cases according to the now law.
In thn statement of offenses , the inform
ation must bo as full and precise on
mattcra of substance as Is required In
Indictments in like CSBRB. The informa
tion acts the same ni an Indictment.
Any person who may bo committed to
jtll to answer any indictment agitnst him
may bo likewise committed ta answer
any such information , and when com
mitted it shall bo the duty vf the district
attorney to inquire into all the facts and
circumstances of each case , and If ho
shall bo calisfiod that au information
ought not to bo filed , ho shall file with
the clerk of the court his reasons there
for , together with all the evidence in the
case. Thereupon the catirtis to examine
such reasons and tsstlmony , and , if In
the opinion of the court , an information
ought to bo filed , the district attorney Is
directed 10 do so , and to proceed with
the case. This really loaves it to the
judgment of the court whether or not an
information ought to bo filed. This
method is apparently safe and economi
cal , and as it has been tried and given
sitlsfajtion in other states it will probably
do so in .Nebraska. It will evidently
save considerable expense , as it does
away with the heavy cost of grand
juries.
The now law whllo It does not abso
lutely abolish grand .juries distinctly
provides that they shall not bo called
unless ordered by the judge. It Is not
likely , therefore , that a grand jury will
over again bo called unless under some
extraordinary circumstances or great
emergency.
The legislature also passed a law abolishing
ishing the office of district attorney , end
substituting therefor the office of coun
ty attorney. The present district attor
neys , however , hold their offices and ex
ercise their duties tmtll the expiration
of their present terra , and until theii
successors , the county attorneys , arc
elected and qutliGed. At the general
election of 188G the first election oi
county attorneys will take place. Mean
time the district attorneys will conduct
criminal proceedings upon the "informa
tion" plan , In accordance with the now
law.
law.Tho
The county attorneys shall bo elected
every two yoare. Their salaries are tc
bo as folio we : In counties of not more
than 2,500 inhabitant , $300 ; In coun
ties having over 2 500 inhabitants and
nnder C.OOO , S500 ; In counties of fro a
5.COO to 10,000 population , § G50 ; ic
counties of from 10.0CO to 20,000 , § 800 ;
In counties of from 20COO to 35,000 ,
$1,000 ; In counties of 35,000 aud up-
w&rds , $1,500. The salaries ere made
payable quarterly. In any county which
shall have ono or more unorganized counties -
ties , or any territory attached to it foi
judicial purposes , the compensation irrnj
bo Increased by tbo oounty board not tc
exccod $200 additional. The duties ol
county attorneys with reference to crim
inal proceedings ara the simo as thosa ol
district attorneys , bnt In addition thoj
are required to prosecute or defend a
civil suits in which the county Is Intar
estod. Wo ballova that this svatom wil
provo more ontlofactory than the
district attorney plan. For instance ,
in this county we shall always have the
county attorney In Omaha , At prosenl
the district attorney resides in nnothoi
county , and is In Omiha on'y a porlioi
of tbo time. This has proved a great in
convenience , and In many cases it hai
caused provoking delays , ( Jlvil bnsincs' '
having been added to the duties of the
county attorney , it wi'l ' at once bo seer
that It is very Important that such office ]
shall bo a lawyer of ability. The
should then fore not bo considered t

enced attorneys as has too elton been thi

IDE BUSINESS SITUATION.
Trade in the loading markets has no
improved during the past week , bnt i
should be borne in mind that wo are nov
approaching the dull season of summer
There Is considerable complaint abon
close competition and small profits. Besides
sides thla cause of dullness the Iron etrlki
no doubt contributes to the stagnation o
trade. There has been a very slight do
cllno la the cotton markets. This is at
tributoblo to the light demtnd and thi
prospects of an abundant crop. Thi
cotton goods trade shows no material 1m
provoment In any particular lino. Th
manufacturer * are fairly supplied wit !
wool for the present , and being nnabl
to obtain desirable assortments fror
ta present stocks are waiting for larger re

In its weekly review , siys ;
From the lowest figures of the week , whlc
were reached under the pressure of deliveries
on June contracts last Monday , the market
h s advanced 3 to 3J cents per bnthel. With
anything like a good txport demand or &
prosperous condition ol general tujtnesf , It is
probable that tha rite In piles would have
been much greater , bnt foreign buyers- have
continued about as indifferent as ever , and
the comparative nbsouca ot speculative tiding
on the pftttof the general public IIRB teen a
icrious drawback to continuous buoyancy in
the mmket. Shlppitg demand has
been available for export about G
to 7 cents per bushel lower than winter
wheat. The price of corn 1m advanced 1 to
1 ? cents per bushel , as n result mainly of a
woll-ausUlued demand for export. Receipt )
have fallen off within n few days pant , nnd
stocks on the eea-bonrd nro very email. There
has boon much Icsa speculation in corn than
in wheat , and the absence of manipulation ac
counts for the disproportionate rise in prices ,
Much uncertainty prevails as to the amount
of corn yet remaining In the country , nnd the
doubt on this subject M well as the prospect
for nn unusually largo crop this year , tends to
hold in check the tendency to epccul.-xtlvo
buying that would otherwise bo likely to re
sult from the stondinoes ot foreign demand ,
AN U nSFAOTORy. CENSUS.
The census that Is being taken in this
city promisor to bo a complete botch. In
the first place there are only twenty-four
enumerator. } , while in 1880 , when the
national census was taken , thcro wore
nbont thiriy employed. Furthermore , in
1880 thirty diya were allowed by law to
the enumerators , and the tlmo was ex
tended thirty days in order to give tlmo
to properly complete their work. The
tlmo allowed for this census la not more
than thirty days. The city boa moro
than doubled In population since 1880 ,
and it stands to reason that
moro time and moro enumerators
are now ueodod. In the next place
the enumerators are required to
ask aomo of the most foolish and irrele
vant questions Imaginable. What earth
ly use Is there , for Instance , In asking
about grand parents , their nationality ,
ago , &o. , and extending tbo genealogical
record back to the d ya of Adam ? What
docs anybody care abont what a child
died of , whether it was croup , measles ,
whooping cough , chicken pox , small-pox ,
diptherla , or any other of the innnmer-
able ills towhich Infant flesh la heir to !
What sense la there in. asking a parent In
what cemetery a child is burled ) Thcao
are bnt a few of the many absurd ques
tions with which the blanks are lumbered
up , and which take up the time of the
equraeratora as well OB of the people. To
record all the answers will require about
fifteen minutes' tlmo for each person.
This would only allow | [ the recording of
not moro than fifty , names a day.
At this rate the census would provo an
ondleso job. Bat we do not hesitate tooay
that not ton per cent of the blanks will be
answered In full. In many cases It is
impossible for persons to answer these
questions , oven if they are willing to do
so. Why , then , carry out this useless
system , the statistics of which will ba im
perfect at > ho best and , therefore , utterly
worthier ? Wo don't -want any census of
disease and death , bnt we do want a
complete enumeration of the people thai
are living and moving abont the streets
of Omaha to-day. Wo would like to
know just how many people there arc in
Omaha , no more , no hsj , bnt
It Is evident that the present
census , owing to the slipshod and cum
bersome method In which it is being
taken , will never accomplish any such a
resulr. The questions should be rtduced
to the lowest number pcntiblo. All we
really care about Is name , nge , sex , and
nationality. If those questions wore all
that wore to bo answered the census
coald bo easily taken and made complete.
Thcro are at luest 5,000 persons living iu
room * In private housjs and block who
take their meals elsewhere , nndva ven
ture to aay that bnt a email percentage
of them will bo recorded , owing to alack
of system In finding their whereabout :
during the day irhon they are at work
Some plan should bo devised bj
wh'ch all euch persons can be
properly enumerated. It Is cafe to saj
that not moro than two-thirds of out
population will bo recorded under tin
present way of taking the census. There
ought to bo at least seventy-five enum
erator ? , who should work under the di
rectlon of o competent chief , and the
blanks should bo simplified.
This Is a matter that should bo imme
diately taken In hand by the city council
and board of trade. Under tbo charter
tbo city council has a right to lend Its
assistance In having a preper census
taken , Such a census as is now being
t taken will provo a damnzo to the city ,
and It should bo either dropped or olsc
the manner of the work should bo at
onoe Improved. If Superintendent Line
can remedy the defects In any way it it
hoped that he will not lose any time In
f doing BO.
THE RAILWAY REGULATORS.
The Nebraska railroad commission ra ;
been duly organized la accord with the
designs of its originators , the rallwaj
bosses. With Iniolent defiance of thi
expressed voice of the people , who by ar
overwhelming majority had voted againti
the proposition to establish a rail
road commission , the Ust legls
Uturo under the whip and lath o :
the railway managers enacted a abau
railroad regulation law w'ih a bogni
commission to enforce It. Tbo boldncei
and reckless disregard of all decency ex
hlbltod by the Nebraska railroad mans
gers In bulldozing the leglehtura int <
thli odious , worthies ! and oxpontlvf
scheme has no parallel in the his
tory of railway legislation li
this country. la no othei
0 state of the union has the popular sent !
mont in favor of railway regulation beei
so Intonro , and nowhere have the Issue
between the people aud the rail ways bee :
so clearly defined , The proposition t <
cio te the railroad commisiion was warm
ly supported by the loading railroad or
and dofcatad by such a decUIvo ma *
jorlty that nobody would have dtrcd to
redlct that this scheme would be foisted
ipon the people within ninety days after
.ho . election in spite of their rejection of
.ho amendment.
Aud now the crowning Infamy of this
d&stardly outrjge lm > been consummated
n the choice of the men who a to to
.rase before the people as railway rogti-
ators. As If to atld insult to injury ,
the head and front of the commission ,
Charles n. Gere , is notoriously ono of
the most pliant tools and political caopars
of the confederated railroad monopolies.
For many years this mau Gore hts boon
foremost in promoting and defending
every Iniquity that could bo d6viscd nnd
fostered by his nustora , tbo corporation
bcsses. It has been his province to rldi
culo and belittle every attempt to rcdrois
their grievances from excessive exactions ,
and for the subsidies that have been
dealt out to him and his partners and as
sociates ho has lent himself to every dis
reputable scheme nnd device by which
conventions and leglnl&turcs have
been packed and corrupted. His reward
Is substantial. The railroads through
their dummies and jumping jacks in the
stale houeo have placed Mr. Gore on the
state pay-roll at § 2,000 n year , and
thus relieved themselves to that extent
of a pensioner who up to the present
tlmo has boon dcprndtnt npon them for
support. It Is & beautiful commentary
upon the character of our state cilicots
when they select ni the head of n rail-
read commission n man , who three yoirj
ago pocketed the anti-monopoly rosolu-
tloiiu introduced in iho republican
state crnvention. Fortunately no
body will bo surprised cr
disappointed. The railway com
mission was conceived in iniquity and
begotten in corruption and fraud by a
gang of highwaymen whoso solo Interest
it is to concoct schemes to defer the re
dress from oppressive wrongs hlch the
pcoplo demand at the hands of its legisla
tures It now goes Into operation
through a cot of political hacks , whoso
only aim and object Is to draw their
salaries and make all railway legislation
a mockery and a sham.

nnd already the leading politicians are
concerning themselves with watching nnd
shaping events ; oven such ns appear
trivial to the underlings The demo-
cr > ta are somewhat hampered by the fact
that the administration has not allowed
the elect to know In what direction It will
throv its preference. The republicans
are hoping to catch or put Clavoltnd In

fiivor coo ? , It will bo manifested

( Governor David D. Hill , the foremost
candidate no- before the public , 1ms
counted upon the support of the adminis
tration , relying upon hts having been
Mr. Olovcland'a lieutenant governor , and
udon his having endeavored to defer to
the precedents Mr. Cleveland established
nhtlo in Albany , lie la known to have
eoat nt lenit ono cmbaoaidor to Washing
ton , to ondoivor to engage the adminis
tration's enpport , bub the report when
the motsuuger cnrao back was that the
clam of fable was not moro cl sa mouthed
than the administration. This is now
followed by the assertion in high demo-
cratis circles that the governor has had a
strong hint that the administration
means t ? see that Eraitus Corning is
nominated , and if possible elected as the
next governor. Thosa who make this as
sertion add that since Governor Hill re
ceived this dismal news ho has since fol-
lonod his Botnowlmt unique views in
vet ing two census bills , and in celling
an extra session of the legislature , in
order to pose as a hero before his party ,
and In order to put General Carr before
t'.io ' ropubl cm party in the attitude of a
martyr.
General Oarr , the present secretary of
B'uto , wants to bo the ropublioin nomi
nee for governor. The law civeahlm the
right to take the census , and ho was
wholly prepared to do sa. Ho had favor
ed the leading men of his party all over
the state by arranging to accept their
nominees for the 3,000 onnmera'o ships ,
when Governor Hill begin to endeavor ,
In ono way after anothur , to get from him
and his party a share of the pjtrouago.
Finally , the govtrnor'o vote kfo the at
torney general with all his men and
plans usoleia on his hands. It is known
i hat the governor has alwoya ossircd
tlal General Cjrr'o cbnnc s of election
would be very slight If he were nomina
ted , and it is now ecen that , by miking a
martyr of the general , ho hopes to foico
the republicans to name him for the
place.Mr.
Mr. Eraatna Corning , is a close friend
of Pn s.dent Cleveland who made his
acquaintance and was Introduced into tbo
bi S' circles at the capital by him when ho
fint wont to Albany. IVIr Coralng is a
rich man , a railroad and iron works
owner , famous at once in that way and
as a collector of orchids , fancy ctttle and
even of game roosters. With Tammany
well in line , and the federal officis prop
erly manned all over the etato , Ernatua
Corning might make a giod man ; bnt the
president's friends in Now York thick
there are are a dizan democrats the se
lection cf any one of whom would reflect
moro credit on tbo administration than
would this one. General Slocum , Comp
troller Chapiu , Mr. Hewitt , Edward
Ociopor are aomo of the weighty names
that rleo to tbo lips of thoughtful demo
crats anxious for party BUCCCSJ , and it la
more than hkoly that ono of theoo will
win thu chnnco to try for the honor. Iloi-
well P Flower , Is a candidate , of course ,
hut , it is understood that thoprctldont line

warm for the winning ticket dnrins thn
eventful campaign cf 1884 detplto Hi

cessful posturor for thoc-ovoniorBhipinua'
win the favoring Btnllo of thetftjOtf
G. ystrne as well as the applause of the
president.
Too strongest candidate on the repnb-
Menu tide just now Is doubtless Ira L
Ditvunp rt , tnongh the most conspicuous
is Mr J soph W. Dr xel , whose cauto Is
pep mstd by thoeo republicans who think
that the moral power as well as the actu
ality of money Is essential to success.
But there are forty other Candidaon )
among the republicans , and since no ono
man can claim to rule the party Iu this
state , the struggle for the nomination
will bo honestly ontotad In the conven
tion General B. F. Tracy , Beth Low ,
Judge Andrews , Alnnxo B. Cornell , Choi-
ter A. Arthur and Oliver P. Morton are
the shrewdest- and likeliest candidates af
ter In L. Davenport , especially the ono
or two among them whosa candidacy will
not stir op any of tbo antagonism of those
breaches in the party that all republicans
hope to see healed before this lively
trouble la begun.
Tlio Proposed Reorganization of the
Ditmocrtio l' rty.
New York Mercury ,
While some public men , among thorn ,
Mr , Handall , are talking of the probable
renomination of President Cleveland In
1888 , a movement Is on foot iu Washing
ton to reorganize the democratic party on
absolute JeQersonian prlnclp'o * . and
thereafter to fill the federal offices witli
democrats a sidy. To effect this purpoto
It la proposed that dabs shall be organ
Ized In all the states , the membera of
which shall work for homogoneousnpss In
the administration of federal Kffjlre.
Such a movement demands on Proildent
Cleveland to fill all the offices under the
federal constitution and tbo Uws made
( itinuince thereof with domocratc , purr

the civil ecrvlce reform enactment. Refer -
