When sonin four moiilli.s ago Iho Hun established a branch ollieo at the state capital Iho Lincoln papers raised u howl the otiterprlso. They worked into ft perfect freii/y and warned the. people of Lincoln againU the danger that wa.t menacing their city from un imoupcotod quarter. That an Omahii paper should dare to establish a news bureau in Lincoln was .something unheard of , and could only result in dis aster , wreck nnd ruin to the people of Lincoln. With this ple.tum hold up be fore them It i.s simply a marvel that any body in Lincoln dared to rent an ollice. to Iho HKH , or that our reporter W.-W allowed to vrntk the streets. Intelli gent und rational people , who happen lo comprise a largo majority of the popula tion of Lincoln , were nut In the least alarmed by Ihe terrible predictions of their local paper.4. They saw in this new departure an enterprise that was in keep ing with metropolitan journalism , and hulled it a.s n b ! < : card for Lincoln. They realized that Lincoln ns the capital of Nebraska bad beeomn au important , news center , and that tlioKF. \ \ was taking Iho initiative to keep not only the people of the stulo , hut the whole section covered by it.'i extensive oiroulalioii , fully informed concerning Iho affairs of their city. They did not sow any .serious loss of patronage to their local press by reason of the HF.K'.S enterprise , which was in no respect different from the course pursued by Chicago , St. Louis and Kansas City papers with reference ! to Iho capitals of Illinois , Missouri and Kansas. If Spring field , Jefferson City ami Topeka were not advertised by the metropolitan journals , they would hardly bo heard of except through Iho limited medium of their own papers. Having como to Lincoln with no other design thnn to make itonoof its important news-gathering points , there i.s no excuse for the which dog-in-thfc-maiigcr policy has been pursued all along by the papers of that city. Wo have taken away none of their palronauo , and solicit , none of it. Our liold is peculiarly our own , and we certainly have us much right lo gather news and sell papers in Lincoln a.s the Kansas City , St. Louis or Chicago dailies. In fact , wi ! have a good deal better claim , because wo have for years labored and contribuled largely to the develop ment of Nebraska. And Lincoln has no reason to complain of ill treatment at our hands. In the few months since it has located a bureau in Lincoln the Bui' has done moro to advertise Lincoln and bet rapid growth , onlorpri.se and advantages than the local paporj could do in as many years. Having failed to alarm the people of Lincoln about the lerriblo enemy whioh had invaded their city , the Lincoln pa pers have recently changed their method of attack. They are now Iryiug lo make it hot and disagreeable for Iho representative of the UEK by assailing him personally in their col umns. This is , to say the least , not very creditable to Lincoln journalism. Taking advantage of a prejudice against Omaha , whioli they themselves have created and kept up for years , they have tried to im press upon the people of Lincoln the idea that bis comtuc.iit.s upon the Missouri Pa- cilio bond project were an evidence of deep-seated enmity to Lincoln. As a mailer of fact Ihoro was noth ing improper in the incidental remark that the Missouri Pacific was bound to go into Lincoln , bonds or no bonds , and the aid voted was so much money needlessly thrown away. The Lincoln Journal , which claims to bo the great champion of Lincoln's interests , did not say a word in favor of the Mis souri Pacific bonds until its managers were convinced that they wore sure to bo carried by an overwhelming majority. Us advocacy of Iho bonds at tlio eleventh hour was unnecessary. The bonds would have been carried oven if Iho Journal had openly opposed them. This bond pretext under whioh the in decent and cowardly personal warfare is being waged upon our reporter , is too transparent to deceive anybody. The HUB has coma lo Lincoln to slay , just as it has at Council HlulTs. Its branch of fice is permanently located , and its pros- out manager will retain his position so longas he gives hisemployors satisfaction. \Ve have never meddled with the inter- rial affairs of thu Lincoln papers , nor have wo over discouraged any of their on- lerprlsos. ' If they want to establish a bu reau in Omaha they will ba welcome. If ; iny of their employes shall locate in Diualia Ihey will not bo subjected lo per sonal attacks and pensucutiou at our luinds. Territorial There must bo something in the atmos phere of Now Mexico whioli unfavorably \lfrorij ollioiftl hrmo.sly. It has been tilled ivith official scandals ever since Its livlsion as a territory. The Ior.st ) ys nnd ( Ukinsons nnd Princes , not to speak of a ( cure of Indian agents juvl minor ollioor.s , .nivo . kept up the flagrant record for y'eur.s. Land thieves and star routers , corrupt contrftclor.s and jobbing mall -arriers have held high carnival in the ; orritory , while decent men have boon jrowiled to the wall lo make room 'or imported ticalktwag.s and seonnd- els. The last scandal is 'no removal of the chief jus- ice , Vincent , for appointing Dorsey is ono of the grand jury of the United States court iu that territory. Asa largo lumber of Dorsoy's friends arc under iivcstlgation for crooked practices , the iiirnllieaiico of Iho appointment was too ippareul to escape atloption. It was iromptly followed , as it should have jcen , by the removal of Judge A'inccnt's > lllcinl head , Kvery instance of Iho ; iid | gives more emphasis to Iho demand mule by both political pur tins in the Into uitio'iiil campaign that territorial ap- lolntmeiit.s should bo made from roii- Icuts. Mr. Cleveland has not seemed to ecognlxo lo any great extent the platform loclnratious of his party in this respect , t Is true that several good iippolnmoiita if residents have bucn made in the ttrrl- ; orlcs , but the mus.s of the new of- IclaU cnmu us buforu from thu slates , lust us long as territorial olllcera are Dado general party spoils , und iiioiim- tents of ilium arc relieved from thu bafo- of local responsibility , U-rrltorin may bo oxpe.cted .lo eoutimi tin * order of the d y.

The UntlroiMl Committee. The committee appointed by Prcshleu Max ; Mo.yor , of the board of trnde , lo so llcil old for the immediate construolloi of a railroad to northwestern Nebraska is n strong ono. It comprises such name , ns A. L. Stranr ; , S. H. Johnson , W. V Morse , J. A. McHlitino , Lewis S. Heed H. T. Clark , Clark Wixidman and Max Meyer , wilh others In 'whom Iho public will have equal ooiilhlonoe. Largelj composed of successful merchants am capitalists , who know Ihe pressing neet of rail connections with a part of NebrasKa brasKa from which Omaha i.s now excluded , its me.mbers wil bo able to bring the argument of personal experience to beat upon capitalists both at homo andabroai to whom lids important subject will bo presented. There should be no delay In the orgaui' t ion of the committee. The work of so Uniting subscriptions should begin juntas soon after the organisation of the com pany as possible. Wo believe Ihat Iho public is ready to respond handsomely to any pnu'lioal move to give Omaha this much needed oullet towards the north west. There is a strong feeling thai whatever i.s done by outside cor porations , whoso termini are in Chicago , Kansas City or elsewhere , no other enterpriser should be allowed to conflict with one whose ohiel object i.s to prevent thediversion of trade from this city , Stub roads and connect ing link' * of cither syslems will bo one of little help in the long run lo Omaha. Its merchants and citizens demand direct rail connection with their neighbors by a line which cannot bo used a.s a club to beat the life out of our wholesale trade and lo build up competing manufactures in other states. For this reason it is unwise and prema ture to prophesy tnat : the proposed railroad will in lime become a branch of any other railway extension. That matter will take care of itself. Tlio oheif present con cern is the orgaui/.ation of a company to start the enterprise ; to siiciire enough aid to place it on something but n paper basis , and with honesty and ability enough lo insure whatever future changes of control may Like place , that the interests of Omaha shall bo-is fully protected as if every olllcer and clerk were personally interested in the growth nnd development of the oity. When that i.s done and the road assured there will bo time enough to discuss changes of management. Meantime Ihe BEK in com mon wilh the entire presd of Omaha be speaks a generous response on behalf of our citizens to the appeals of this now en terprise whoso success i.s so essential lethe the future growth of this city. Special Ocllrery. Thospecial delivery system istv failure. [ t is as much of a failure in Omaha as it has proved , after two weoks' ( rial , iu other cities. The public did not demand it , do not want it , and will not use it. Messengers cannot earn pin money at the business , and nro resigning all over the 3ountry. The department at Washing ton admits that the special stamps will not pay the carriers' wages , Mid thinks that aongress will have lo appropriate money for this purpose at its next session. The best thing that congrass can do in the matter nt its next suasion is to repeal the law and make appropriations for ex pediting the regular carrier delivery. I'll is is the opinion of every leading post master in the country who dares ex press himself against this pet scheme if Postmaster General Vilas. There is no reason why congrosj should appro l > riitte money with which ( n pay for the [ rompt delivery of n few letters on irhich Ihe sunders are obliged to pay six ' .lines the amount of ordinary postage , when the same appropriation would se- mro equal promptness in the carriage of til letters at the n ular rak'fl of postage What is. needed , in the nhsonoo of postal -clegraph , is an inertias j in the force o f lostal employes in tfio largo poitoflioiM. Many of Ihom are now greatly embar- asaed by niggardly appropriations. The itamping and forwarding departments , ind the carrier foroo ought to be largely ncroasod. With more frequent collee- ions from boxes and a moro rapid do- ivory of letters received , thure would bo 10 earthly need for any special servleo. L'his is the public view of Iho case and it s the only sensible ono.

In many of our cities tlio lectures , addresses and classes of the Y. M. C. A. make it a center of culture in Iho community. Such au organisation , which proselytes for no oliurdi and asks no questions ex cept whether it can be of assistance , is well worthy of liberal support at Iho hands of our oiti/.ons.

Burr"did not duro lo re turn to his homo In New York , for the poignant sorrow evoked by Ihe untimely taking off of Hamilton , ami the deep- seated hostility toward his slater which pervaded the public heart , had not been obliterated by Iho Intervening period of time , and ho deemed absence the safer coiir.s. ) for him. llo was then tt disap pointed man , homeless and almost friendless. He had Ktond an equal chance for the presidency with .lolforson in 1HDI , when each of them hail received precise ly Hie same number of votes in the elec toral college (71) ( ) , which threw the elec tion into the house of representatives , whore Jolforsoii won the pri/.o. That disastrous politieal reverse , followed by his taking the life of Hamilton , then one of the most popular , and in our day , de clared to bo foremost statesman our country has produced , followed by a feeling of almost utter execration against him for that act , Hurr foresaw that all hopes of politieal preferment iu this land were forever blighted , and hu therefore turned lo other fields for adventure. Ho left Philadelphia early in the spring of 1H03 , and proceeded via Pilts- burgj Cincinnati , and through KunlueKy to JNushville. After remaining ( here some time , he engaged a boat , which took him down the. Cumberland river into Iho Ohio , and then into the Missis sippi to New Orleans. After passing some time in thai city , he returned via Nashville , whore he remained several weeks. This trip was a kind of an ex ploring expedition wilh him , for ho was then , unquestionably , laying his plans for an empire in the soul Invest , and be fore his mind were flitting visions of glory nnd renown. On the 13th of August , ho wrote : "I am still at Nashville. J'or a week 1 have been lounging at. Ihe house of ( Jou. Jackson - son , once u 1-iwyer , afterwards a judge , now a planter , a man of intelligence , ami one of those prompt , frank , union t souls , whom 1 loyo to meet. " IIo laid his schemes before Jackson and sought lo enlist him iu them ; and ( lien ; is reason to believe thut the lallor did for a time contemplate joining the enterprise for establishing an independent govern ment to _ be created over the ciutlern provinces of > v hat i.s now Mexico , but liiiding it would bo likely to involve him in clillieulty with his own country , by levying war in the United States against the friendly power of Spain. Jackson declined to connect himself with it. Iturr had purchased ' 100,000 acres of land on the lied river iu Louisi ana and Texas , wilh the purpose , a.s ho alleged , of establishing colonies there from iho middle and western states , l''rom Nashville he wont north us far as Piltsburg and Phila delphia , making his preparations. Ho fixed his ronuevous on IJlcniiorhag- solt's island in Ihe Ohio river , in the jurisdiction - risdiction of Virginia , now West Vir ginia. BlennerhasMitl was an Irishman who had settled upon this island wilh bis wife twenty or thirty years ago. All Ihe school readers contain au extract from the speech of William Wirt , who unstated in the prosecution of Hurr for treason , which pictured the island a.s au uarthly paradise , having been made such by lileuncrhossuU , into which Hurr .mtercd as Iho tempter , and left it it scene of desolation , jiaving induced the former to join him in his schemes of conquest which led to hi.s arrest for treason , and to his uller ruin. Bodies of men assembled on the island , and a quantity of arms were gathered Ibere. and Hurr was wilh llicm. There was so much secrecy about their plans and movements , tnat suspicion was created and agents of the govern ment were put on the watch. 15urr went south again , and was in the Tombigbeo egion in Mississippi , trying to secure re- jrnit.s to join his cause , when bo was irrested by orders from President Jeffer son , and wis taken prisoner under guard > f a squad of cavalry , he riding on lorsoback all the way to Hichmond , Va. , ivhero he was indicted for high treason iu itti'iiipting to levy war against Iho Jnitcd Stales , it being charged that he n tended to unite a portion ol our south- vestern states with the Spanish jirov- uces , and thus form a now government , > f whioh ho was to bo the head. He was mt in jail , but was afterwards admitted 0 bail. Ho was also indicted 'or misdemeanor , in attempting to nvado the territory of a friendly lation.

Itolibintj the INihlio Imntl.s. New York.Star : It. is reported from Washington that , the general land ollieo had directed a prosecution to begin against tlie Montana Improvement com pany , which i.s charged with taking lim ber unlawfully from the public domain. The company is owned by Ihe Northern Pacific railroad. Representatives thereof had submitted that they had not taken timber from the public hinds knowingly. They had confined themselves , as they thought , to the alternate : sections of the grant of the Northern Pacific. They have ottered to reimburse the goveiii- ment upon the proof of depredations upon the public domain. The depart ment has concluded since this statement to further invcbligale Ihe matter before ordering suits. Timber spoliation by the land grant railroads has been for years a fact well understoo.l by all familiar with the west , especially with Iho trans-Missouri region. It may bo in this case a.s the company's attorneys assert but the investigation should bo made very thoioiigb. Three years ago , when the Mexican Central railroad was being con.struetoilt it was understood that nearly all the tics for the northern section of about 70 ! ) miles were brought from the forests of northern ArLont : : over the Atlantic & Pa cific and the Alchison & Topeka road.s to Paso del Norto on the Kio Grande , the northern terminus of iho Mexican Cen tral. This timber no ono doubted was taken from public lands. In the Francisco mountain .district of northwest Arizona there are at least 10- , JOO square miles of fine pine lauds. Per- Imps it should bo said there were such nine lands , for thesaw ; mills started by lioslon capital must , ere ihis , have made Lbc saddest liavoe therein. In Califor nia , Oregon and Washington terrilory , ; imber snoilation is carried on upon a argo scale. It will bo well , then , for Joniinissionor Sparks to push his in quiries lo the utmost. Ho will bo sus- .aincd by the administration and sup ported by the country. "Tho Short Hours I cnRiio. " Now York Kveiiing Post : An organ- zation in Kngland , called "Tho Short lours League , " whoso purpose is Kiifli- iientlx indicated by its name , hns taken ip a matter of much importance in at- aekiiifj railroad companies for requiring inch long daily periods of service by heir employes. Startling tigures are riven as to tlio number of hours of con- iiuiona work exacted , not only of fita- ion-hands , but of conductors and im- jincers , the last named having tiltccn- lours shift on one of the leading roads. I'hero is necessity for a similar agitation n the United Stnles. Not a few KO- ailed "accidents" railroads on our are luo to the fact that hrakcmcn , switch- lien , or engineers are not capable of heir best service because- they are kept oo long on thcstreleh. Only the other lay a brakeman on a Pennsylvania road , vho had been sent back to lag it following train , was run over and Lilled by its engine , and it was found hat ho bad been working so many hours hat ho bad fallen asleep as ho waited on he irack. A disaster to a Irain was .verted in this case , but a torrinlo col- iniou is likely to occur whenever an over worked and sleepy man man i.s given ueh a commission , Wo believe thai the hiof railroads of the country have seen ho folly of requiring too many hours of f daily service from their men , simply s a matter of business policy , but there re many lines which demand far too nioli of their employes. Such railroads dd a now and unnecessary peril to the lovilablo dangers of travel , and ought j bo made lo mend Iholr ways , Wnrtlail Kloqucnuo.

He says Hint nobody now recognize in the half-deserted town , the tumble-down buildings and the wrecked mining ma chinery , the once famous town of tlm Comslocklode , with its IM.OO ! ) people4 and its millions invested in mining machine ry and appliances. The two great mills Which cost half a million to build , and crushed the ore of the great bonanza , are idle and rusty. The enormous hoisting and pumping works of the Yellow Jacket and Gould & Curry have been moved away , and all the prospecting on the deep levels is now done from one shaft il/iOl ) feet down. The last hope of the Comstoek depends on a little knife-blada streak of ore which they are drifting alongside of iu the Halo and Norcross. It shows bow people will cling to hope when judgment and sense would tell them that the. game i.s up. Yet they all own property there and they do no't want to abandon it till actually compelled.

If that fails the whole town and region will probably bo abandoned. There have been over $301,000,000 taken out of the Comstoek lode , but it i.s a ques tion if pretty nearly that sum has not been put into it in the way of useless ex ploration and costly maofunory , Didn't. Quito UndorHtnml. San Francisco Chronicle : Shoemaking and business never seem to go together. Did you over notice that oven a big shoe maker , with tt big store I moan a prac tical shoemaker never gives you change from a drawer when you pay his account ? He always takes it from his pocket. A shoemaker never seems to keep accounts. lie mils the money yon pay him into his pocket and always counts it two or three times over , am } tries it with his teeth < before he says it is all right. A fellow - ordered from a small working shoe maker , the other day , a pair of boots , Ho went in to pay for them. They were $7 , "Well , " said the customer , "I .want yon to mend these others. What will you charge ? " "Two dollars and half. " "All right , " said the customer , as a joke ; " $ J.OO from ? 7 loaves $ l.ii ! ) . Here you art. . " "That's all right. " said the shoemaker. Next morning the customer found the shoemaker silting on the steps of hla ollice when ho wont to business. Hu was distressed , but very polite. "I lay awake all night thinking that thing out. Seems to mo you've made it mistake. I don't quite understand it yot. Yon forgot when you paid me that 1 am the shoemaker and you own the boots.
