PnontumON In Kansas is prononncod
as much a failnro as It Is in Iowa. That
It does not prohibit the sale of liquor In
Kansas Is shown by the fact that the col
lector of internal icvenuo lisa Issued 1895
liquor licenses under the federal laws.
Leavonworth siloon-koepero took out 210
of these licenses ; these of Dodge Olty
121 ; Atohlson , 83 ; Topeka , 57 ; Wichita ,
50 ; Wyandotte , 30 ; and so on throughout
the entire state. The Lsavonworth
brewery eold 1,351 barrels of beer dar
ing the month of July ; the brewery at
Atchlson sold 325 barrels ; tint at Topeka
aold 13G barrels ; at Lawrence 295 ; Fort
Scott , 141 , and Wlohlta 2 ? . No revenue -
nuo whatever Is being derived by the
cities and towns from the sale of liquor ,
which shows that prohibition In Kansas
jaoana "free whisky. "
UNION PAUIFIO stock declined more
than any other lait week , and its affairs
are the subject of considerable diecutnlon
In Wall street. Mr. Charles Francis
Adams , who was in Now York on n visit ,
denied that ho was there for the purpose
of placing loans which Boston banks refuse -
fuse to renew. lie a id "tho notes Im
mediately maturing are all small , and
after meeting Ita September fixed charges
the company lies $1,000,000 In ciuh on
hand. Ills ciTjring t } buy up Its own
notes ot a three per cent rate. " This
abatement loads the Now York Herald
to pertinently remark : ' 'As the company
Is understood to bo paying five per cent
on money borrowed on a ill , It Is soggeit-
cd that a portion of the million dollars
cash might bo most profitably used In
oavlng thla five per cent. "
THE Ohio go Herald maintains that
there will bo no congressional Inquiry Into
the Rock Springs massacre , simply be
cause the politicians will notcaro to spend
any time on the Chinese as they have no
votes. We think that the Herald will
find Itself mistaken. Wo feel certain
that a thorough Investigation will be
made of that lamentable ( ( fair , to
gether with thg 'oauiea that led to if ,
with a vlow of patting the roiponslblllty
where It belong ; . That the Investiga
tion will show that the Union Pacific
la largely responsible , we have
every reason to believe. Even now , after
all thathaj happened , that greedy corpo
ration insists on continuing the condition
of all'ilrs that drove the white mlnera to
bloody desperation , and It has the snb >
llruo astunnco to call on tbo government
to asila'i It In maintaining an attitude In-
linlcil to American labor. The punlih-
merit of tbo men who murdered the Chi-
uamen is ouo thing , and perfectly proper ,
but the attompUo defy the white minors
. to resist the invation of Ohlueeo
cheap labor h altcgethcr an
other thing. One of the qucalonu
tbot will orleo In congress will be ,
by what authority is tbo Un'ou ' Pacific
oDgigol in the ccal mining business nnd
by what right dooa It lay'clihnto the coal
n.ituu.1
JACK OF ALL TRADES.
The Cheycnno Sun expresses the opin
ion that the Union Pacific iai altogether
too many Irons in the fire , and that It
can attribute many of Its troubles , and
particularly the Rock Sprlnas riot , to Its
attempt to run too many branches of
bnslntBi besides railroading. Any ono
acquainted with the facts will at once ad
mit that the Sun Is eminently correct.
The Union Pacific , besides conducting
several lines of railroads , is engaged In
mining coal at Carbon , Rock Springs and
Alma In Wyoming , and also at several
pointa In Idaho and Colorado ; It practi
cally carries on a merchandising trade , to
the exclusion of other traders , at Us min
ing towns ; it la a dealer In coal through *
ont the country west of the Missouri
river ; U la developing soda beds near
Liramle ; it Is tunning the hotel business
along Its ontlro system ; U Is interested In
numerous grain elevators and controls the
grain trade of a largo portion of Ne
braska , besides being Interested In
various other enterprises and schemes ,
none of which are pormlttod or Intended
under the charter to bo carried on by the
railroad company. The wonder ! a that
the company has not undertaken to be
come a cattle-raiser and to monopolize
this business , as it haa other
Industries wherever lie lines ran. When
the Union Pacific company drops all
these oateldo ventures and turns Ito at
tention strictly to the business of railroading
reading , for which purpose It rraa Incor
porated and chartered , nnd for no other ,
It will have Iocs trouble and make moro
money. The ctuntry through which Ita
lines run has not been developed owing
to the fact that It haa monopolized every
thing and abut out competition. If It
would only permit competition , Wyonv
Ing'a vast mineral resources would soon
bo developed by outside capittl , and the
territory would In a few yecru become
second Pennsylvania , and furnish to the
Union Pacific ten or twenty times moro
traffic than It can ever hcpo to
secure nndar the present depreaolng
system of monopoly. So long as the
Union Pacific refuses to glvo onttido cap
ital and competition a chance no long will
Wyoming remain an undeveloped region ,
and the railroad company will htxvo to
pursue the some old narrow policy of at.
tempting to build up a business from Its
own Immediate resources.
It may bo said that these outside in
dustries are not carried on by the railroad
company but by contractors , but , in the
language of the Cheyenne Sun , "when
the bujineta la Inspected it will appear
that the Union Pacibc is represented by
an official In the active management ; Its
railrocd and cars are always at the scrvlca
of the contractor at nominal figures , and ,
substantially , whatever [ profit there la to
be obtained from the bualneos , the Union
Paolfio , to use an expressive slang phrase ,
otands In with. " The Sim concludoa its
vigorous protest against the Jack-of-alU
trades system aa follows :
I ( the Union Pacific company will turn Ita
attention and Its finances toward the runnlncr
of its cars and glvo reasonable rates , plenty of
ontorpriaicp men will ba found to load thorn.
With tha Carbon , Rock Springs and Alma
coal mino3 in the hands of Individuals or pri
vate corporations , better coal would bo dug
and supplied to Wyoming and Nebraska , and
white men would ba hired to do the
work. With the eating houses In the hands
of private corporations or Individuals , a great
deal bettor food would b3 furnished to the
traveling public , the pretentious of the Pa
cific hotel company to the contrary , notwithstanding
standing- , With a general encouragement of
private enterprlco all along the line there
would bo moro people and more
Industry in Wyoming territory. The
railroad will get more money
for freight and there will t > 3 no room for
Chinese or any other form of contract labor.
This cannot ba done next week , pjrhaps not
bjforo next rear ; but if the present manago-
mout of the Union Pacifis company will
commence to endeavor to do it , the foellig will
not prevail through the western and central
part of Wyoming that what the company
doesn't ' want lin't worth having.
THE EXPOSITION.
The probabilities are that the wo&ther
to-morrow will bo warm and pleasant and
n every way favorable for the Omaha
exposition. In that event it certainly
ought to bo made n big day In Omaha.
The exposition Is in every way a suo-
co'H so far as the number , variety and
character of the exhibits are concerned.
No hotter or moro extensive dirplay has
over been seen in Nebraska , Wo do not
hoiltato to state that it has never been
equalled by any state fair.
The programme of amacomonts Is al
so the bast that has over been arranged.
Thla la particularly tiuo aa to the horeo
races , which , however , are not the only
feature , In the amusement department ,
The mamgera of the exposition have
spent a great deal of money and
have exerted themeolvea in every
possible way to make the affair a success
This Is the first of the annual expositions
to be hold In Omaha , and the people of
this city have a good deal at stake In mak
ing It a succois financially. The man
agers have done their duty , now let the
people of Omaha do tholra , They can
make the exposition a financial success
by simply ( urnlrg out en masse for ono
day. To-morrow Is the big day , There
ought to be 20,000 people from this city
alone In attendance at the exposition.
Wo hope that the employers of the rail
road ihopa end other iadnstiial estab
lishments will be given a half-holiday , If
not a whole holiday. Let the business
hcuics , thu banks , the offices , and the
thopa bo closed during the nftemoon ,
sad let everybody go to the fair ground * .
NICHOLAS AJ. BELL , superintendent of
for..411 malls , owes his position to iho
fact tint ho was the reading olork of the
national democratic convention. It was
euppocoi that nothing detrimental to his
character could bo said , but now comes
his father , William Boll , who Is earning
a scant livelihood aa a street laborer at
( lot Springs , and makes an iffl.lavU
charging Us on with defrauding him out
of his property four years ago. That the
affidavit IB true Is borne ont by Iho re
cent action of the son , who , probably
afraid that the publicity of his ungrate
ful conduct will cost him his position , haa
made a quitclaim deed to the property in
question , conveying it to his father , and
has forwarded the instrument to his
brothers in St. Louis , bidding them to
consider all the clrrmmstancos , and if
they find ho aotcd unfairly to forward
tbo psper to his father , thus restoring th
rightful owner. A man Trho would defraud -
fraud his father , and compel him to be
come a day laborer , ought not to bo sup
ported by the general government. Turn
him out. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE startling prevalence of email-pox
In and around Montreal la accounted for
by the fact that the French Canadians ,
either through Ignorance or superstition ,
are violently oppoiod to vaccination. On
Friday last the workmen In the Montreal
iron mills struck and quit work rather
than comply with the order of their em
ployers that they must bo vaccinated ,
while In another factory onb hundred
French Canadians quit for the aamo
reason. The disease will not bo checked
unless It ( a by vaccination , and the Intelli
gent people of the city are endeavoring In
every way possible to convince the Ignor
ant French Canadians cf the benefit of
this operation. On Sunday the Roman
Catholic bishop urged them to ba vac-
cla&tcd , and thla advlca coming from
such a source will probably bo heeded by
a largo number. So far the small-pox
mortality haa been eqml to that of
cholera. There were nearly 300 deaths
in August , and the number steadily In
creases from week to week. Daring the
week ending last Saturday there were
ever 100 deaths.
ABOUT a year ago the night editor of
the Washington Post , in order to obtain
material for an article on the civil ecrvlce
commission , \vett before the board of
examination together with a number of
applicants for positions , Not being a
real applicant himself , ho thought nothing
mozo of the matter after the examination
was over. Ho was therefore- considerably
turprlscd , a few dsya ago , upon receiving |
a notlco that a § 900 clerkship w&a at hia
disposal , It la staged that ho will accept
ltaa "it Is far In advanca of hla salary on
the Post * Wo take It that Washington
cditora get about ten dollars a week
certainly not a very princely aolary ,
Washington is a pretty good place fcr
newspaper men to keep awsy from.
THE various tariff tinkers are begin
ning to prepare bills for presentation to
congress. Abe HoivlU is credited with
preparing a bill , which , It Is claimed , will
moot the approval and support of Car-
Halo. If thla Is true the question arlaca
as to what will become of Horizontal Bill
Morrison's pot schema ? Wo venture to
say that there will ba a long-drawn-out
fight on the tariff , problem during the
next scasion of congres ? , and we would
not bo surprised if no satisfactory result
Is reached.
J. SiEiiLiNG MORTON has been Invited
to slump Iowa In behalf of the democracy
of that atato , and the Herald artist
straightway commonda him ta the bonr-
bona of our slater commonwealth in very
complimentary tcrma. Dr. Miller ssys
that "ho Is strong aud attractive as a
popular orator , aud ho will bo auro to
make things both lively and interesting
for the republicans of Iowa. " In other
words , Morton In Iowa Is all right , but
Morten In Nebraska Is all wrong.
Hian route are the principal obataclo
In the way of Omaha becoming a great
manufacturing center. Living ia cheaper
hero than in any eastern city , end it
could ba made a great deal cheaper than
it is at present If wo had a market wheio
the consumer and the producer could deal
directly. It ? is the middleman that cauEos
high prices. Do aw&y with the middle
man and wo shalldlspanso with ono profit
at least.
THAT civil ssrvlco suit is of a friendly
natnro , something after the atjlo of
proceedings for partition of real
estate. It is said to bo Insti
gated by the civil service advocates
with a view of aecurlng judicial affirma
tion cf the legality of the civil service
act. Bach a tult was contemplated scv-
ovoral mcntha ago.
"Tun Ohlnoso will stay 1" so rays the
Union PaclSo , Fostlbly congress will
have something to say on this subject.
Perhaps when it gets through with the
investigation the Union Pacific will not
have any mines to operate In Wyoming.
The coal mining bmlnnjs of that road la
a rloh mlno for congressional Inquisitors.
Miss CLEVELAND , elated over the sac
cess of her first book , proposes now to
enter the field of fiction. She Intends to
write a novel , In which her brother
Qrovor will Dguro as ono of the promi
nent characters. Washington Ufa will
also bo described in several of the chap-
tore ,
LEI everybody go to the exposition.
It la a firat claia affair In every respect.
The diiptay la greater than baa ever been
seen at any state fair , while the smute-
mcnt features excel anything of the kind
ever undertaken in this Mate.
To ( now that wo nre not hoitllo ( o
Lincoln , wo express the hope that Iho
state fair will have more favorable
weather than his prevailed to far daring
the Omaha exposition ,
WASHINGTON Cur , In Ohio , hai be on

IMMEDIATE DELIVERY.
Notwithstanding several of the towns
of Nebraska are claiming a larger popala

Nebraska City , eho haa nevertheless bean

Our city suffered
A SERIOUS LOSS
by the burning of the creamery , on the

The idea and elaboration of placing
tha troops of thn department Into camp
during the fall , and having them go
throngh the different ovalutlous and
du'lun ' pertaining to their profession , Is
principally due to Colonel E Muon , nho
was Inspector-general formerly stntionud
at Omaha , and now transferred to the
department of Dakota. After General
Howard ivcnt abroad and wltnoiaed the
autumn manouvres of the Gorman
army last year , ho acceedod
to Colonel Mason's Ideao , nnd the order
was Issued lact spring. Since then
Colonel Mason has been removed to
another department , and General How
ard took a trip Into the Yellowstone park ,
so that though many of the troops bad
boon on duty down In the Indian conn-
try , General Breck , the adjutant genera'
of the department , felt compelled to
carry out the original order so far as
practicable with other companies that had
not been down at Crlsfield. So instead
of having a largo command of twenty' '
five cr moro companies here , there la i
llttlo battalion of eight companies of In-
fautry only , concentrated fromFortf Rus
sell , Sidney , Lanmio and Robinjon.
But here wo are encamped at tbo water

the next ttvo weeks will bo ccupled with

Tlio OhlncHO Massacre.
Springfield Republican.
If an American settlement in China
woio attacked without provocation ,
aickod and burned , 35 men killed , and
the ro t of the community pat to flight
and turned oat homeless and sholtoiloss ,
wo ukould think justly that their treat-
mant vsai an exhibition of barbarism and
heathen oraolty and Intolerance. Thla
i precisely what has happened In
Wyoming. Tha Unlcn Pacific coal mines
at Rock Springs are lot out to ba worked
at contract. Tie contractor has got
Into trouble with hia minors , probably
on account of what they conalder lotr
wages. The contractor haa supplied the
plaoo of minors dismissed by importing
Chinese laborera from the Pacific coast ,
Thla was a most rlaky and perilous pro
ceeding. Ho must have known that ho
had but to carry this expedient to a cer
tain point to precipitate violence. The
discharged mlnera bad probably no other
oharico of livelihood Immediately offer-
Ing. They would naturally bo filled
with resentment rgaliut the men who
bad baon brought in to fill their places ,
and If once the mob spirit rose , the
demon cf violence and irresponsible
murder Is jnot as rampant in an in
furiated Caucasian crowd aa In an In
furiated Mongolian crowd.
It does not appear that tha contractor
made the alightoct effort to protect the
Chinese employes. Ho left thorn to bo
ahnt dorm like sheep fleeing to the hlllo.
The Union PaclGo railroad ought not to
have abetted aud allowed such a per
formance. The attempt to snpplaiit
American labor In mines by Chinese h

Senator VAII Wyolc'u Oppeinonts.
Valentine Reporter ,
Some nf our contemporaries are die-
ousting Van Wyak'd return to the senate ,
and whllo a few predict his defeat , otnors
regard the eubjeot as premature. The
senator lies nothing to lese by crltlcltm ,
early or late , but Nebraska and the
United States will lo.o much should Van
Wyck leave the senate. Ho has done
mcro than any previous representative to
place thla young state prominently before
the country , In the very beet sense , and
has won national confidence as an honest ,
f jarleea enemy of extortion and kindred
wrongs , and eho champion of right. The
monopolies are against him , The polit
ical jobbers era agalatt him , Bat the
people are with htm and for hlra.aud will
take hla future Into their own hands. Ho
can trust them.

The subject of founding a now Biptla
college In Nebraska will como up before
the conference to bo held at Beatrice In
November. A number of prominent
gentlemen of the denomination are try
ing to secure Its location In Omaha , It
la to bo hoped. Indeed , that there will bo
u sufficiently Hbo'.l re por.aa to the calls
for money to onab'o the denomination to
locate the institution here.

Its population haa doubled within the

consists of young ana enterprising
Americans , and the ecc'oty Is eqntl to
that of any other town of its nlza.
This spring a saving , loan and bulldlnr ;
association ms organized with an author
ized capital of 100,000 , of whish nearly
$50,000 had already been taken. All

Daring the year 1884 3,270 cara of
grain , stock and merchandise were ship

year more grain haa been ahlpped from

Lint year a district fair association was
orgcnlzad and Is held annually at thla
plaoo. Thla fair is acknowledged to bo
the best fair In the western part of tha
state nnd ancond to the state fair. Al
ready there are a number of entries of
stock. Certain fancy stcck dealer ,

JobnC. Bonnoll , superintendent of the
Nebraska grain display at Now Orleans ,
that caused so much admiration and
comment by the people and representa
tives of the press who visited the world's '
exhibition , will bring the grains as dis

This alone will bo worth coming miles

freight rites on stack to bo exhibited are
quoted by the B. & M.
