the mayor had good reasons for dla-

ANOTHER CHAPTER
Of the "WrMiRlo to Sco Who Shfcl

Ono of the most exciting and interest
Ing movements of the many that have oc
curred recently io ceo who shall finall ;
gain poasoision of the Smith atock o
goods , occurred about G o'clock last oven
Ing. For several days pnst Corono
Drexel has boon custodian of the ttock
In behalf of thoto pattloa who had entered
terod claims in the shape of attachments
Last night , however , promptly at G o'clock
ho relinquished his hold and turned the
keys over to Sheriff Miller. About fifteen
minutes afterwards United Stntos Marsha.
Bicrbowor appeared on the sono and de
manded Corner Drexel to give him the
keys , but the marshal was Informed tha
ho bad gotten In jnst a llttlo too late
All the transactions In this caco have been
published from day to day In these col
umns , so that it is not necessary to re
peat them bore , further than to
say tint Mr. Lorry , aa
stated yesterday morning. hsc
secured in the United States dlstrlc
couit Monday , the appointment of a re
celvcr , which necessitated that the goods
bo turned over to the United States m\r
sh&l for safe keeping , until such times as
Mr. Lowy could file bonds and get ready
to open up for business. The mnrslm
however failed topot a written order fron
Judge Dundy for the delivery of
the goods and Tuesday morning
the jndpo wont to Sioux
City. Wednesday ho was fol
lowed thither by Judge Woolworth ,
attorney for Lowy , who secured the or
der and returned hero with it yesterday.
Then , when they wont to the coroner ,
to demand of him the keys of the store
and posscsiion of the goods they found ,
that fifteen minutes previously ho had
delivered them over to the sheriff. The
cDroner claimed that his tlmo was up
promptly at G o'clock , and that ho could
do nothing but acceod to tha demands
of the sheriff. Mr. Thnrston , who is also
one of the attorneys for Lowy and Cole ,
went with Woolworth to aoo the judge ;
likewise Groff & Prltchett , attorneys for
[ ho [ sheriff. The judge ordered , too ,
that the marshal should hold the goods
until ho received further and moro
specific orders from him. The matter
now remains to bo decided by the state
court.
ULEVEKLY CONSUMMATED. .
A. Daylight Roboory Committed
Under the Proprietor's
Nose ,
Ono of the smoothest , yet boldest and
most audacious robbarlos hoaid of for a
eng tlmo was committed in tills city yes-
erday. Between the hours of 0 and II
o'clock a thlof entered the pawnbroker
shop of Fred Moohlo at the corner of
? arnam aud Eleventh streets , stole from
ho money drawer about § 50 nnd got corn-
> lotely away with it without being
icard or seen , notwithstanding there
were several parties in the etoro at the
ime. On the west sldo of the stora are
wo show caies , one at the front contain-
ng knives , and one at the rear that has
revolvers displayed to view in It. These
how cases are each about ten feet long.
Jndor the ono which is filled with shoot-
ng irons , Mr. Moohlo kccpj his money
drawer. Tht ends of the two cases are
only far enough to admit a mane
o pass between them. At the
oar end of the room and agaiust the fur-
her end of the revolver show case slta a
> ookkeeper'B dk ep A man could outer
ho rear door , Bjah around this desk and
; ot to the money drawer without being
teen , provldedts ore was no ono behlna
ho cases , but at the time the robbery
occurred yesterday Mr. Moohlo'o clerk
was behind the front show case , and
not moro than ton feet away
rom the money drawer selling
cnlves to a party of movers , who had
topped their teams near by the store
on Eleventh street. The clerk says that
; could not have been moro than fifteen-
minutes after the robbery was committed
until ho found it out. He remembered
there had been a nlco-looklng , woll-
rcseod boy in the store shortly bafore ,
alklng to him about a library book on-
tied "Tattered Tom , " and thought it
o bo a good ono. With this elua to
rork on , the case was given to Detec-
Iva Eaicry , who wont to the
boy's homo , No. 2310 23i
trcot , in North Omaha ,
nst evening and arrested him. Ho was
akon to police headquarters , accom-
mnled by his father , who gave security
or his appearance before Judge Ston-
> org this morning. The boy Carl
Campbell potltlvo douial that ho took tbo
money or that ho was even at the utora
islorday.
A TWO-POUND BABY.
'ho Most Dlinlimtlvo Specimen or
tlnmnnlty Ever Born In
Omaha ,
Thrco or four women were making n
esperato etrngglo yesterday to too who
hould got legal possession of a gitl baby ,
hat at Its birth on the 15th of Jane was
nly able to Up the beam at two pounds.
Said ono of the women , who WAS waiting
o got n talk with Judge Wakoly , "It Is
ha smallest and cutest llttlo thing yon
ivor saw. " List springnDanishglrlknown
> y no name , except that of Anna , was
emploped at Lanra Mack's , on the cor
ner of Ninth strebt and Capitol avenue ,
as cook. She claimed to have been mar
ried , but lost her husband about three
nonths ago. Being homeleca and penny-
ess she was compelled to seek work
wherever she could get It. On Juno
15th sbo gave birth to the child that Is
now in controversy , and not being able
otako cue of the Infant turned It over
o Laura Mack. Until within the past
on days there was no ono
thought that the cblld oonld live , but
they were mistaken , for it has become
stronger and livelier and promises to
grow , Its mother Is desirous now of
taking It away from the Mack woman ,
bat she has become gipatly attached tote
to the llllipntlan curiosity and is so am
ioua to adopt It permanently that yesterday
day sbo made application for the necessary
sary papers. The child , though perfectly
formed and apparently boil thy , by rea
son of It ) extreme dimunitive siza Is real
ly a curiosity. Its limbs , hands , feet
and body nre so era ill that unless they
make a muoh greater growth than le
common to humanity It cm noror be
vary large just largo enough to take
part In some side show IB ono of the at.
traotlons.

would only weaken the force of this nar-
ative. It sufficiently snggests its own
moral. The facts which have been sot
oith cannot but have revealed to over ?
( baervant cyotho the poop decay which
IBS oaten into the social edifice. No por-
ion of onr system was loft untested , and
10 portion showed itself to bo sound.
The stock exchange revealed itself na a
launt of gamblers and a don of thieves ;
ho oflices cf our great corporatlous
ippsarod as the secret chambers
n which trustees plotted the spoliation
of their warJs ; the law became a ready
; nglno for the furtherance of wrong , and
ho ermioo of the judge did not conceal
, ho eagerness of the partisan ; the halls of
cglslatlcn were transformed Into a matt
n which the price of votea was higgled
iver , and laws made to order , were
) ought and Bold ; whllo under all and
, hrough all the voice of public opinion
was silent or wis disregarded.
It Is not , however , in connection with
ho present that all this has its chief sig
nificance. It Bpeaka omnlouely for the
uttiro. It may bo that onr society is
only pasting through a period of ugly
ransltion , but the present evil has Its
oot deeD down in the social organization ,
nd springs from a diseased public
pinion ; failure seems to bo regarded as
; ho one unpardonable crime , onccocs as
ho all redeeming virtue , the acquisition
if wealth as the single worthy aim of
fo. Ten years ago euch revelations as
hese of the railway , would have cent a
buddor through the community , and
would have placed a stigma on every
man who had to do with them. Now
hey merely Incite others to surpass
liem , by yet bolder outrages , and more
sorrnpt combinations. Were this not so
heso things would bo as Impossible
mong ns now as they are
laowhero , or as they were hare
ot many years ago. Whllo this
ontlnues It is more woiknois to at-
rlbuto the consequences of a lax morali-
y to a dtfcc Ivo currency , cr seek to
irovont its outward indlcatioas by statute
emodles. The root of the disease fa
pop ; external applications will only
lido its dangerous eymptoms. It is well
0 reform the currency ; It la well to en-
ict laws against malefactors ; but neither
.ho one nor the other will roatoro health
3 a buslncta co nmnnity which tolerates
uccosfiful fraud , or which honors wealth
moro than honca'y ' ,
O 40 leading feature of theeo develop
ment ] , however , is , from ita political
apeot , especially worthy of the attention
f tha American people. Modern society
us created a class of artificial being ]
who bll fair BOOH to ba the maaters of
iiolr custom It Is but u very few years
inco the existence cf a corporation con-
.rollng . a few million of dollars was re
garded BS a subj ect of grave approhention ,
nd norr this country nlrondy contains
Ingle organization which wield a power
cpresentcd by hundreds of millions ;
lioeobodics are the creatures of slnglo
tatef ; but In Now Yoik , In Pennsylvania ,
1 Maryland , in Now Joreoy , and not In
1030 states alone , they are nlcoidy catab-
ishing "dcapotlem which no spaamodlc
> opular effort will ba able to shako off ,
5verjp here , and at all times , however ,
hey illustrate the truth of the old mai
ms of the common law , that corpor-
tlons bavo no souls. Only In New
York has any intimation yet
) son given of what the future
may have ia store for UB should these
great powers become men tools in the
lands of ambition * , recklois men. The
ystem of corporate life and cor
porate power , as applied to
nduetrial development , ia yet in it ) In-
nby , It tonda always to develop
Iways to consolidate It is ever grasping
new powers , or Insidiously oxerclelng
overt Inllnonco. Even now the system
hre&tena tha central government. The
railway represents a weak comblna-
Ion compared to those which day by day
re consolidating under the suspecting
eyes of the community , A very few yearn
moro , and wo ahall see corporations as
much exceeding the Erie and the New
Lork Central In both ability and will
or corruption , as tbey will exceed these
oith In wealth , and In length of iron
rack. Wo shall see these great corpora
ions spanning the continent from ocean
o ocean , tingle consolidated lines uniting
the Atlantic and the Pacific , and bringing
STow York nearer to San Francisco tbau
Albany once ws to Baffalo. Already
ho disconnected members of thcio fu-
lire leviathans have built up state ] in
the wilderness , and chcaoa their attorneys
cnatorB ( and congressmen ) of the United
States. Now , then , their power ia In ita
nfancy ; in a very few years they will reenact -
enact on a larger thtatro and on
a grander scile , with every feature
jnaguitied , the icauei which wora
lately witnessed on the narrow tUgeof a
single state. The pubilo corruption ( la
the foundation on which corporations
always depend for their political p nrer.
There is n natural tendency to coalition
between them and the lowest strata of
political Intelligence and morality ; for
their agents must obey , not question ,
They exact anccoss , and do not cultivate
political morality. The lobby Is their
home , and the lobby thrlvoi na political
virtue decays. The ring Is their symbol
of power , and the ring is the natural
enemy of political purity nnd indepond-
enca All this wni abundantly Illustrated
in the events which have just been nar
rated. Wo are constrained to follow Mr.
Adams In hla prophetic visions of what
wo all tea , and many of our people
felt , for the reason that Mr. Adams
now is possessed of power in nt least
eorao measure to abate the evils cf which
he , as the Impartial audtrnly | patriotic
ally Interested citizen has so plainly
warned the American people. Wo shall
follow Mr. Adams in a series of letters to
yonr widely circulated BEE , but as long
ns the controlling spirits for despotism
and vindlctivonos5 are riUlnod In the
general management of the great corpo
ration of which Mr. Adams is the head ,
thcso who know these men will have little
hope of that fairness being meted out to
the general public which Mr. Adam * '
well known views would load the unwary
public to expect. The Infnmoua practices
of the corporation power 1ms Troll-nigh
eaten through the silken screen of
onr social life , the moth of private
virtue , has well nigh destroyed all roepect
for chastity. Scarcely a community but
could furnish matotlal for the Pall Mall
Gazette , and its bureau of Inquisitors to
work upon. Even onrjusnally ctiasto com
munity has ita scandal in embryo. One
of our Into most rocpcctcd and trusted
citizens has been guilty of compromising
the virtue of a fair teacher of onr chil
dren. For the respect which is extended
; o the relatives on both aides In this
shocking aifilr , names are withheld , yet
the mnttorlngs of condmnatlon for the
man in this case ara only suppressed by
ho sorrow which la felt for the iunocont
wlfo and children on the ono&ldc , and.tho
much respected sister on
the other. Whither are wo
drifting ? Who can command
ho halt , which will again place virtue ,
ntcgrity , and common honesty in the
van In the estimation of the American
people. A return to this is the only sal
ration of free government. Mr. Adams
n his far-sightedness his sounded the
ocsln of alarm. Shall wo , as a nation ,
nab on blind and deaf to destruction ?
God forbid. JUSTICE.
