SOME people have queer Ideas eon
corning the prevention of cruelty , aa was
shown by an Incident in this city yes-
torday. Two tender-hearted gentlemen
had their sympathies arouood In behalf
of a horse that was being abused by a
man whom they considered a brute , and
thereupon they turned In and gave the
follow a most brutal pounding abont
the head. They Boomed to think that
almost killing a man was nothing com
pared to the abusa of a horso. They
elmply put themselves on the eamo level
with the man whom they maltreated.
Tin ; Philadelphia Record draws a very
bright ploluro of the present Industrial
situation , as follows :
The army of idle labor is decreasing every
day. Reports from western industrial centres
ehow n marked Improvement ; wages are steady
in most employments. At this Reason work
falls off in a few branches , but tbero is a bet
tor prospct in general than there hai been
alnco the opening of spring , The iron trade is
Improving. Within thiity days a dozen or
more mills that have been Idle for months
started np. The bar mills are busy , bridge
works are crowded , carpet mills have orders
ahead to keep them busy for three mouths ,
knitting mills are doing welt , cloth manufac-
turfii are preparing for next spring's trade ,
K. and bat and cap makers have h d a good

TUB statement of commissioner Sparks ,
of ( ho general land office , regarding the
disposals of public lands and the receipts
therefrom shows that the total number of
acres disposed of during the year ending
Jnno 30 , 1885 , was 20,113,003 , total
number of entries 225,382 , total value
$7,680,114 , number of original home
stead entries 22,000 , Including 3,032,679
acres. Dikotaleada the list with 4,547,740
acres disposed of dnring this period ,
while Nebraska comes next with 3,098-
381 acres ; Kansas third , with 3,030,040
KCTOS ; California fourth , with 1,295,909
acres ; Montana fifth , with 1,112,140
acres ; Mont inn territory sixth , with 1,112 ,
140 acres , and Washington territory
covonth with 1,010,117 acres. All the
other slates and territories are consid
erably below 1,000,000 In the
number of acres disposed cf dur
ing the year. These figures show how
fast the public domain is being taken up ,
and It will ce only a few years when ell
the government land adapted for agricul
tural purposes will be owned
and occupied by private par *
lit * . The figmes also show how fast No-

THE OHIO OHMPAIQN.
The state campaign in Ohio la drawing
to 8 > close. The election takes place on
Tuesday , October 4 , lets than two weeks
from to-day. Ever since 185G Ohio has
gone republican In a presidential year ,
giving majorities ranging all the way
from 7,516 to 00,055 , but In the oB-ycara
It has not been qnlto so sure , although
In the main the republicans have been
vlctorions at atato elections. Just at thla
tlmo the vote of Ohio In presidential
years since 1850 may prove an Interring
study. Ohio , It should bo borne In mind ,
holds Us stnto elections in October , and
therefore In presidential years It has two
elections the atato election In October ,
and the presidential In November. The
state and presidential votes are as follows :

It will bo seen that In presidential years
the republicans of Ohio have carried
their state ticket. In 1877 and In 1883 ,
which were off yeair , the same as the
present year Is , the democrats were vic
torious , owing to local fights and apathy
among the republicans. Hoadly de
feated Forakor two years ago by a ma
jority of 12,629 , but It was on a vote con
siderably below that cast In November ,
1880. In the latter joar the republi
cans cast 375,044 votoa at the presiden
tial election and only 347,164 at the Oc
tober election of 1883. Hero was a fall
ing off of 27,880. The democratic vote ,
through the importation and colonization
of ballot box stutters from
other states , and the activity
of the liquor interest , increaced 18,972 ,
If It were possible that Hoadloy's In
crease was duo to dleaatlsGod republican
voters , which the Cleveland Leader says
was not the case , the republicans could
still have carried the atato by at least
9,000 majority , had Its voters all been
brought to the polls. That the republi
cans had a strong reserve vote In 1883
is shown by the fact that in October ,
1884 , they polled 391,597 votoa , electing
Robertson for secretary of state over
Newman , his democratic competitor , by
11,242 majority. In the following
month of November the republicans
polled for their national candidates 400-
082 votes againtt 368,280 given by the
democrats , the latter being defeated , by a
mijorlty of 31,702. The Cleveland
Leader in commenting on those figures
and discussing the ontlook , says :
That the republicans are capable of carry
ing the state next month Is an undoubted
fact. The prohibitionists boast that they
will poll fifty thousand votes this fall , of
which two-thirds will bo drawn from the re
publican party and ono third from the demo
cracy. While this ia o foolish claim , no re
publican need be frightened oven were it an
an assured fact. A moments consideration
may bo given to this prohibitory bragga
docio. To beeia with , the prohibition party
has about ten thousand votes of Its own.
To poll 60,000 votes they must then
win 40,000 from the republicans and demo
crats. If the former furnish two thirds and
the latter one third , as claimed , it will leave
the republicans 373,410 votes and the demo
crats 346,460. In this connection It may be
said that the prohibitionists polled 11,069
votes for St. John last November , while
5,179 votes wore cast for Butler. Elaine's
msjoilty over all was 15,554 , In view of all
the tacts it may be safely claimed that the re
publicans will carry the state In October.
They have Irreproachable candidates and |
every incentive to como out and vote ,
A NEW RAILWAY BRIDGE.
The positive announcement that the
directors of the Union Pacific have de
termined to replace the preaont railway
bridge at Omaha with n moro substantial
structure adequate to the demands of
the constantly Increasing travel and
traffic , will bo received with great satis
faction , not only by the posple of Omaha
and Council Bluffj , bet by the public
generally. According to Manager Oala-
way the now bridge will bo a railway
and wagon bridge , with all the facilities
for n double-track road and street rail
way travel. The citizens of Omaha and
the patrons of the railway do not cars
rrhothor the noccasury facilities for travel
and traffic across the Missouri cro fur
nished by the Union Pacific or any other
company. Had the present bridge been
built and operated ( n accordanoo with
the Intent of tbo charter there -would
have been no agitation for a competing
bridge. It Is to be hoped that the pro
ject of n double track and wagon bridge
Is not a mere scheme to daisy or prevent
the erection of a competing bridge under
the charter granted by the last congress.
The citizens of Omaha and Council
Bluffs have long suffered on account of
the Inconvenient mode of communication
between the two cities , The new bridge ,
which wo are assured will bo completed
within two years , will certainly work a
revolution In trade , traflioand travel that
will contribute material'/ ' the welfare
and prosperity of both Omaha and Coun
cil Bluffs. If the Union Pdclfio will now
go to work In dead earnest upon the pro
posed bridge the people of Omaha may
forgive it for eomo of the abuies they
have Budored for twelve years.
A sun was sometime ago brought In
Boston to compelt ho trustees
of the Credit Moblller to account
for the $16,000,000 placed in their hands
by the Union Pacific' , and a few mouths
ago a demurer to the bill was overruled ,
bnt sustained In part , It being hold that
the defendants must answer. The other
day a decision was rendered upon certain
pleat in bar filed by defendants , the fitak
of which sot out the oxlatenco of two
cgrooments , by one of wbloh the com *
plalnant ajj'gncd his stock to the Union
Pacific railroad company , while by the
second ho raleaiod the trustees from all
errors or misconduct arising out of
their administration of the trust. There
was also sat up on tgreoment between
the Union Pacific and the Credit Moblller
for giving np the claims of the latter In
consideration of certain promises or obli
gations on the part of the former. The
court doolo'as that the releases constitute
a valid bir to the suit , as It wai man
ifestly the Intention of the parties that
all complainant's rlghti In the Credit
Moblllor ttock and dividends should bo
assigned , and that this plea , was bad for
duplicity , So It seems that the Credit
Moblllor nwlndlera cannot after all bo
compelled to account for the money
which thuy gobbled.

DAVE BUTLEIl'S GttHAT MOUTH.
To the Editor of the BEE.
I fear the "politician frsm Omaha , "
who gave you information aa to DAVO
Butler's antics at the Anti-Monopoly
convention h s dona the ox-govornor In
justice. It Is hardly fair to attribute his
performance thera to his balng drunk.
I havoj been consulting with your Lin
coln corrosponiont , who recently wit
nessed the departure of the disembodied
spirit ( who is good authority on spirits , )
and he Informs mo tint there may be
found In Lincoln , a now style of corn
juice , containing a peculiar kind of gas ,
which Is Infusoi Into It by a process of
spraying. Butler had boon testing this
article , purely in the Interest of
acienco , and made no calculation
aa to the now Influence. Ho could not
bo nald to bo full. Ho only took tbreo
fingers , Kentucky measure ( that IB
loagthwlsa , ) out of a lemonade mixer.
Thla would bo nothing for DAVO.
Your Informant was nloo wrong In
saying that the chairman fell asleep.
Ho Dimply hung a coat over the back of
his chair , and ho and the secretary
quietly slipped away , leaving tbo great
imprachcd addressing the coat as "Mr.
Chairman. " At 4 a. in. , when the night
watchman peeped in , ho was still at It.
Whether the anil-monopoly party can
survive the support of this unprincipled
old blatherskite remains to ba seen ; bnt
aa for thla particular convention , h was
certainly talked to death.

Correspondence of Tha BBE.
IRVINCITON , Neb. , Sept. 21 A recant
drive through the regions indicated above
gave mo some views of the country not
obtainable by the railroad tourist. Ono
thing especially noticeable Is the largo
number of well improved , handsome
farms and fine country residences , The
growth of Fremont would have been
more rapid of late had not tbo railroad
recently given Wahoo tuoh a boom. A
largo foreign element obtains In Wahoo
aod throughout a portion of tbe region
between there ind Lincoln. It Is abcut
twenty miles acrots to Wahoo and about
thirty miles from there tn Lincoln. Lin.
coin KOald ba greatly Improved If It bad
tuoh paved streets as these of Omaha.
The eecond day out our pirty reached
Beatrice , forty miles a little woit and
south of Lincoln. This town Is booming.
Hero Is a Ginning factory that in Its
season disposes of 500 bushels of corn
per day and employs a largo number of
hand * . Why could not Omaha profit by
ouch an Inttinlion , nnd by so doing
Kraally help the contiguous farmers too ,
Beatrice cluiint a population now oi\ \
nearly 7,000 and Is growing.
We dined at Etjol City the next day ,
making n half day's drive of nearly thirty
miles. Taero Is much unoccupied land
between Beatrice and Stool City. The very
largo grist mill at Steel City la good for
500 bushels of wheat per day. A pottery
there finds good clay for all ccareo wares ,
such a < crocks and jugs. It is about four
miles from this village In Jefferson county
to the Kansas line. *
The first town wo struck In Kansas
wan Washington , n thriving town of
2,200 people , The next town on our
routs was Strawberry , a plaoj so small
that wo were at a IOBS to know whether
wo had misted It or that the strawberry
had boen'oaton up ere our arrival , But
wo found Clyde a most wide-awake town
In Cloud county of 2,200 ; then Milton *
vole , where a narrow gauge railroad
from Loavonworth stops. These familiar
with a narrow gauge road declare such n
ihlncr an aggravation. Indications are
that this track will bo widened soon. Our
journey terminates at the vllluRO of
Lamar , fourteen miles west of Milton-
vale , in the nurthoastorn portion of
the Solomon valley. Thla Is a rich
region of country. .Tho corn hero Is Im
mense , and this being also a wheat region
the yield on ordinary seasons Is about
twenty-live bnahols per acre. Limnr la
In Ottawa county , Minneapolis , a town
of about 2,000 , balng the flourishing
county teat.

"Why People Have Poor Icotli.
Says a New York dentist : The no
civilized tribes of the world , such aa the
Sandwich islanders and the negro race ,
are blessed with much finer tooth than
the rest of the human race. Tno main
reasons for this are that they do hot cat
pastry , confections and sweetmeats , Im
bibe not drlnka or Indulge in Into sup
pers Whan the mouth Is * Inactive most
of the mischief to our tooth Udono , the
acid of the stomach and the particles of
such food QS taat mentioned remaining
between the teeth being the principal
ciuao of harm. Mpch more attention to
balng pnld to the toath now than former
ly. The faot la poor toath are horedi-
tay , and the fathers ana mothers of
to-day , remembering the tortures which
they have endured from oarlyaawoll aa
continued neglect , are anxious to do all lu
their power toproaorvo the teeth of their
children. The tooth of a baby first m ka
their appearance in the lower jtw , fol
lowed shortly afterward by the upper ,
there being twenty in all. Although ,
of cours ? , these are supplanted In
ter on by a now sot , they should
bo well taken care of , the best method
b.-ing to rnb them gently with a linen
cloth and draw HOBJ silk botwom them at
least twloj a day. The gums of a small
child Srj too tender to ba brushed with a
tooth brush. Between the ages of 5 and
G the molar tcoth ( of which there are
four ) make their appearance , on either
side of the upper and lower jaws. If
the month Ia nt all crowded the molars
should bo extracted , ns it h most doalra-
blo that the teeth ahould bo slightly sep
arated. Later on the 12-year moron of
which there are alao four , como to the
Rnrf&ce , and those are followed between
the sga of 1C and 20 by the wladom
tooth , of which there are two , ono on
either sldo of the npper jaw. From the
tlmo the child la six years old the teeth
ahould bo brushed from two to three
times a day with dentifrice , of which all
druggists take prldo in compounding , a
good preparation the best at which con
tains orris root , proslpltatod chalk ,
cattleGsh and Peruvian bark. It Is also an
excellent plan to paia a strand of floss
silk between the teeth befora retiring.
Hog vs. Man.
To know the American you must see
all sides of him. On a train between
Jersey City and Paterson , a day or two
ago , a poorly dressed woman , carrying &
baby In her arms , walked through two
coaches and was unable to find a seat.
The railroad Hog was thoro. In a dczen
cases ho had a whole seat to himself , and
ho meant to keep it. The woman finally
found refuge in the smoking car , and by
and by the Hog went forward , to enjoy a
Havana and found her crying.
"What's the matter ? "
"Baby Is very ill , sir. "
"And where are yon going ? "
"To my sisters. My husband la dead ,
and I have no homo now. "
"Loavo you any monoj ? "
"Not a dollar , eir. "
"Umphl Sorry for yon. Latmohand
you this. "
The Hog cas boon robbed of his bria-
tles. Wcmin's tears have melted his
salliahncca. Ho returned to his car ,
gathered the other Hogs about him , and
said :
"Oomodownl Poor widow sickbaby
no home. Oomodownl"
The Hoga wont down for their wallets ,
and In Iocs than twenty minutes tbo sum
of $10 waa put Into the woman's hand ,
and the Boss Hog obsnrvod :
"There there It's all right not a
wordl Norr como back here , "
Act ! ts she followed him into thocoaoh
a dczon Hogs rose up und Instated that
she should take their seats , and all gath
ered round her to voice the aentlmont :
'Poor woman 1 Poor b by ! Isn't
thora something wo can do for you ? "
The railroad Hrg can't bo crowdedbnt
ho can bo melted.
Cjrciunbtmieea Alter Oaoc .
Texas Sittings.
A farmer hired a man to help work the
farm. Ono summer day , when labcr
was very scarce , the two were mowing In
the field , when several larks flow np.
"Look at thoao big cranes , " said the
hired man.
"Thoso ore not cranes ; they are only
larks , " replied the farmer , somewhat sur
prised.
"If you don't eoy thr4 they are cranes
I'll knock off work right now , " said the
hired man.
As the farmer could not get anybody at
that tlmo to take the hired man's place ,
ho waa obliged to yield to the whim of
the menial.
' Yes , " said the farmer , "I see now
that they are cranes , bnt they are not big
cranes. They are only half-grown
cranes. "
Tbo blrad man was satisfied with this
concession. Some months aftorwardtho
hired man still being in tbo employ of
the farmer , the latter said at dinner ono
day , as ho poured out a gists of water :
"Here's some very fine beer. "
"That's not beer ; that's only water , "
replied tbo hlrodman ,
"If you don't soy It's boor you can
tender your resignation , for I don't ' want
any offensive paitlians about tbo placo. "
The hired man knew very well that ho
osnld not get another situation at that
tlmo of the year , so ho tasted tbo water
and cheerfully Indorsed the administra
tion , soy Ing ;
"Of course it's tear , but It hasn't got
much body to it , "
Having thus convinced the preiident
that he waa sound on tbe gooee qiiesticn
the hlrod man was allowed to wain his
position.
Butler's "Wife and Ambition ,
Gftth.
"Is General Butler a man of much
sensibility ? "
"Ho h&s sensibility , bnt not a great
deal of weaknots. The death of his
wife was a great blow to him. Ho has
boon seen to shed tears referring to her
loss. She died of a cancer. "
Said I to ( his gontlonun : "I have
heard It said that Mrs. Butler was once
an otrees ; Is it truel"
"No , not as yon have hoard It. She
had n great deal of ability In amateur
theatricals at Lowell , where she moved In
the best circles of the city. General
Butler had boon paying attention to her
and hid not declared himself , nnd there *
fore his subsequent wife gave her atten
tion to the itago and bad made np her
mind to appear lu public. She wont to
Cincinnati , whore she was offered an en
gagement with prominent parts to play ,
Before she had appeared Butler started
out west , proposed to her and brought
her bask home , and , therefore , she never
bad appeared on the public stage when
she became his wife. "
Said I : "You referred to General
Butler having lost his balance-wheel
when his wlfo died. To what did yon
refer ? "
"Why , Butler was a good deal guided
by his wlfo while iho lived and ho made
no mistakes. After she dlod ho mdo
plenty of mistakes. The firat waa In
leaving the republican party. Ho made
his record within the republican party
and had received nil his political horora
from It. Ho had spent the earlier per
tlon of ha ! Ufa In a hopalcss minority and
it was not good judgment , to asy no
more , to throw him back intho ralnoiity ,
for everybody known that Massachusetts
ia a republican atatc , and oven Blalno ,
who waa personally unpopular in that
state , oaally carried It by a largo ma
jorlty. "
S idl : "When did Butler finally
leave the republican part } ? "
"When Hancock was nominated for
president ho prepared a letter declaring
for Hancock. Some of his friends ad
moniahod him that ho owed to the repub
lican party all hln political BUCOSDS , nnd
ho dochrod that it WHS not so. The
party had fought him lu ha ( ambltlcn t >
bo governor of Massachusetts so long
that hn considered it lud no ether tuo-
tivo In Maisschnaotta than to defeat him.
Do therefore wont over to the democrats ,
and ho was elected finally governor of
the state , but I should think ho had
mllkod that situation of about all it was
worth. "
"What Is General Butler's ambition
now ? "
' 'To ' bo president , of course. "
"Do you think ho will over Rot H ? "
"Not in the democratic party. But If
ho had tocnalned in the republican party
this very mugwump defection in Maaso-
chusatta would have given him hla op
portunity. Ho could have brought into
the republican party auch a laigo demo
cratic fallowing aa to fully compensate
for these malcontents , and as a regular
republican ho wonld have had bnt little
difficulty in controlling the state. Ho
could have gone to the senate at least. "
Said I : "Haa General Butler any In
tercst in the Boston Globe ? "
"Yes , " said my Informant , "I under
stand that ho and Jonas French , his for
mer staff officer , who la a democrat , and
Jordan , Marsh & Co. , the principal dry
gooJa house in Boston , own the larger
portion of the stock. The paper la a one
COBS and now pays dividends. "
Said I : "Jonas French did neb sup
port Butler for precldont. "
"No ; none of bis old staff officers sup
ported him. Of course , if their support
could have elected him , ho would prob
ably have received it. But they did not
sea that his running was to have any re
suit. "

As the midnight train was leaving

night , a rather green and rural-looking
young man , with his best girl , occupied
one of the saats of tbo last car but thd
sleeper. Mr. Verdant aroeo , walked
down the Isle to bring hla "fair ono" a
drink of that beautiful nectar dispensed
on board tralna of the Now York Central
road , water , had placed the cup underneath
noath the stopper to the tank , elezed the
WnnloghouDo air brake cord which Is
faBtuud near , and gave It a jerk antici
pating a flow of limpid baverago. No
water , however ; bnt suddenly the train
stopped , and amid the execrations of the
conductor , train hands , and passengers
tbo "chap from the country" slunk back
to the suat. After a lull in the storm
that youcg lady was hoard to remark
quite audibly : "What did you do that
lor , yon big fool ? "
