Had ho never done anything but this for thogood of ] ) id country , it would bo enough to entitle him to the thanks of the people. Tim pnbllo is informed thai another trial of the Keely motor will soon take place in Philadelphia. Meantime Keely eontiniies to draw assessments from the credulous stockholders.

Foil once this paper will come to the rescue of UovornorDawos , as against the nssiull of llio Jfcntht for his failure to i.-suo a proelamalion calling upon ( ho people for a demonstration mourning the death of Mr. Ilendricks. The strie- tures thai would apply to the republican governor of Nebraska- apply with greater force to the democratic mayor of Omaha , ATTOUNKY ( ! IXIIIAI : : , Luusi : is in Wash ington to argue the Zimmerman murder ' ease whieh is pending before the su preme court on appeal on account of error. The attorney general is wasting his time. The error that he should ut- Ici.d to is the illegal and criminal release of Zimmerman , who probably doesn't care a continental what Iho supreme court of the United States now does in his case. The attorney general should also sec that Attorney Iturr , who assisted the. condemned murderer to escape , re ceives punishment commensurate with Iho ofl'unse. At present it looks very much as if Air. Uitrr i $ to bu allowed to go scot-free. MAHSII.U , Ct'MMixusmuslbe removed. That is tlio only condition , according to the Itcralil , upon which Omaha can have law and order. Why can't wo enforce Lavmid order with Marshal Cmnuiings al 'tho head of the police ? Has he refused to obey any order of the mayor to enforce law ? Is not the shoe on the other foot ? Joos not the demand for Cummings' re moval come from these who have no re. ttpecl for law ? Why not with-cqual pro priety call for the removal of the mayor ? He Is the chief executive and since it is his unty to enforce law and maintain order , the failure to do so throws the re sponsibility on him. Will it not bu time enough to call for the removal of the marshal wlien ho refuses1 to obey the orders of the mayor ? Tnu Japanese are making more pro gress in modern civili/.ution than any oilier Oriental nation , .and in tliuir rapid advancement they arc largely copying after American institutions. They have adopted our national revenue ttysUmi and banking laws , and are pro- inning to introduce our postal .system , customs service , agricultural bureau , signal service and civil service. The methods pursued in these departments uro now lining investigated and studied by an authori/.cd agent of the mikado , mid when he has acquired a thorough practical knowledge of the various oper ations he will return to Japan , and al ouco proceed to make use of it. The ilaimnoso huvo also adopted the American style of dress , have Introduced the rail way , the telegraph , electric lights , agri cultural machinery , manufactures of all kinds , and arc making great headway In nil branches of industry and education. The Japs may now be ranked among the most progressive people in the world. THE funeral of the vice president was appropriately observed yesterday at In dianapolis. Mr , Hcndrlcks makes the fifth miin who has died while holding the ollico of vice president of the United States. Kx-dovornor Georgu Clinton , of IN'ow York , was the first. In 1801 he was Hioson vice president with Thomas Jof- feivon , and again in 1803 with James Madison. 111.4 last term began on the 'Hit of March , ISO1. ) , and ho died In April , .

" Why not say it , even though the lobby goes hungry4. ' The above editorial appeared in Hie Xew York Tribune of December SHli , 1873 , several years before that paper passed into the hands of Jay Gould and the railroads. The anecdote , as well as Us application , applies pointedly to the cllbrts whieli will be made at Hie coming session of congress to legalise tiie I'raiiduleul debts and watered slock of the Union i'acitic railraod through the sixty year extension , bill. There is meal enough in the article without potatoes for congress to digest. Here is a corpora tion built with princely subsidies of land ami money from Iho government , whoso entire road and equipment could be duplicated for less than a third of the money sunk in its construction and maintenance by the gambler. ? who have worked it , which comes to congress im portuning for financial relief and for more potatoes. There is plenty of meat according to Mr. Adams and his friends. The properly is immensely valuable. It is yearly increasing in value , but it is practically bankrupt and will not be rblo to meet its bonded obligations to " bondholders" unless the "foreign gov ernment gives it an extension of sixty years time for the payment of the princi pal of its second mortgage bonds. In the words of the 'J'n't'itnc "All par- tics are an record against the continu ance of this bn ine s. " The country has dealt munificently by the Union Pacilio railroad. Under honest management at the rates which have been charged sineo the road went into operation , its rescrvo would hayo been either biilhVicnl to meet the coming demands upon Us treasury , or to secure funds to raise the debt by in curring other obligations , Jobbers and ringslcrs have failed from the bounty of the government. Inside rings have fed upon the vitals and sapped tiie strength of the great corporation , It is high time that the property should be placed on a Kountt footing , and Ihn wa ur wrung from its inflated htoek. The government can well uH'ord to lose the principal of its second mortgage bonds , if by ho doing the west would reap the beimlit of an honestly conducted railroad , managed on u business bails. It has been a cosily kind of tavern keeping for the government. U should not be continued , even if the lobby goes hungry. fay tiould'H Jtclinuncnl. Mr , Gould informs an mtut'usted pub lic that ho will finally and forever retire from Wall .street on January 1 , and thai the haunts of lower Hroadway nud Ux- change 1'lace , whieh know him oneo , M'ill after that date know him no more. . The coming ilif solution of the linn of W. K. Connor & Co. , in which he and his sonGoorgo were spooial partners , Is also announced. Mr. Gould is through with Hpeoulallvo enterprises and heconlldes lethe the reporters that for tlui future ho will devote himself to upbuilding Iho interests of the Missouri I'ucidu uml Western Union Hydtems , both of which proper ties , according to his ideas , are in mug- nifieont condition , Mr , Gould has alway boon of u retir ing disposition. Ills open connection with Wall strict became ii matter of gen eral public Intcra-it in the dosing days of Jim risk's lifu and the collap o of the Krio railroad. This "Colossus of lloads , " as Ids editorial friends faeullonsly dub him , made his first grout strikeas a "pro. motor of transportation int ro&ts" in Ihu wrecking of Kriti. Ho watered the slock when it was at white heat and foundered it so completely that it has never Binco been able to or.iwl half way up the list. After disgorging $9OUt ) , . 000 by order of the courts , ho was still able to boast that ho had cleared in the neighborhood of $7,000,001 } by the deal. That was the lime when Mr. Gould retired from Erie. Shortly atterwards the Union Pacific attracted Mr. Gould's attention , and he devoted his best energies toward "build ing up" the resources of that corporation. Ho was eminently siiivcvt'iil , niter the l-'rlp method. Consolldal'ngtlu proper ty , whoso stock was then paying (1ivid ( < nils , with the Kansas 1'acifin and Dr-nvcr Pacific , bankrupt corporations , he pocketed-f 10,000,000 by the lrnnac- tion. hi Id out from under the approach ing wreck , nml had the satisfaction of seeing Union Pacific drop from US to the bottom of the slock lisl , while a wail of woo went up from swindled Investors over the entire country. It is nccsilnss lo say lhat pressing bu > tnr i < elsewhere compelled Mr. Gould lo retire from the Union Pacific. The Wnbash road nc.\t demanded "promoting" at the hands of Gould , and he did not Hindi from the duty. TN execution cost the stock and bond holders several millions of dollar * , and the road at the present lima is in ( lie hands of three receiver' , but the "t'olo iiH of lloads" made it a sreat syslcm and a. great swindle before he finished with it- When it was squeezed dry Mr. Gould "retired" from the Wubash. The manipulation of the Manhattan Jvlcvalcd railroad slock , the consolida tion of that enterprise with Us rival , the New York Klevaled , Ihe liberal injection of water into its indebtedness ami Ihe in- tlatioii of its stock uro mailers of history which swindled investors of Now York are not likely soon to forgot , even though Mr. Gould is reported lo have made $ l',000,00l ) liy the deal and has retired from active management of Manhattan. His various victims will be interested in knowing that he proposes for the future to devote himself exclusively to the "pro motion" of Missouri Pad lie and Western Union. If tlio warning is heeded invest ors will stand from under , be fore the great railroad wrecker concludes lo "re tire" from the e "maguilieonl proper ties. " A Xei'dod Kcl'orm. .Sooner or latur the constitution must be amended so as to increase the sala ries of our judiciary. Kvory year it is lie- coming more plain that Hie incomes of our judges are not MimVicnl to attract competent lawyers to the bench. Under the new law the fees of justices of the peace in cities of the first class will amount to nearly as much as the sala- lies of judges of the supreme court. Brains command a premium every where , whether they are employed at Hie head of great mercantile enterprises , in the management of wealthy corpora tions or in the pursuits of Hie profes sions. The able jurist who can honor ably earn an income of from $5,000 to $ ' , ' 0,000 , a year in practicing in Hie courts cannel be templed , as a usual tiling , to take a seal on the bench for u salary of $2,000 per annum. Occasionally the honor of the ollice attracts an able lawyer from his profo-Mon. Such cases are , however , rare. In HHJ majority of instances our judiciary is composed of fourth-class lawyers , whose salary is morn than they could honestly earn in their profession and who are far below the level of intelligence ami learning of many of the men who argue cases before them. The cause for this unfortunate condi tion of all'airs is largely due lo the paltry salaries paid. There is no inducement for able men to aspire to the bench. Con tests for nominations to the judiciary narrow down lo small bore political law- j'er.s , who crave the salary of judge in or der to pay their bills , and tlio title in or der to lay a foundation for paying future debts. The supreme courl itself is no toriously weak. The Nebraska decisions carry little weight in outside states , and would carry none in on : own simply as decisions , unless they were the final ar bitrament of Hie majority of cases adju dicated. In ability , learning and reputation for unllinching ad herence to the law without reference to outside pnissuro or popular clamor , the Nebraska supreme court is far behind that of our sister stales. The stream cannot ri o higher than its source and the work of our judiciary cannot bo su perior to thecalibre ami ability of the bench. The remedy is t < > be found in such an advance in the salary of judges as will niako it worth Iho while for oompotonl jurists to aspiri ; to the judiciary. Parti san polities am not so deep rooted in our people thai they will refuse to eb'ct superior candidates if they will permit themselves to be placed in nomination. If the salary of the supreme judges wore to be lived at $3,0i)0 a year it-would not be Ions ; before the character of Hie bench would bo greatly changed for the better. Tlio liusliicHS Situation. Trade during the week past has- been moderate in nearly all Unas , bul Iho dis tributive movement is regarded us sali-r factory 1'or this time of the year. The business failures continue lo show a de crease. The banks , have been placing more of their reserve fund * in ciruula- lion , and Hie clearings continue to show a blcady increase in"lhe volume of busi ness Merchants are reluctant to add much lo Mocks now that the season of greatest activity in wholesale lines is over , nnd operations arc likely to reflect prcs-'ing requirements until after the holidays. There is another reason for the expectation of more cautious trading during the next thirty days in the fact that collections arc usually a trille slow around Ohnstmas lime. The little ac- counU fulling duo to small trailers are frequently neglected to meat the cash outlay required for gifts and merrymak ing , and More keepers are thus to some extent deprived of the means of paying bills ill maturity. There is In eonso- quenco a growing disposition to avoid now obligations unless , by the bad trade practice of "dating ahead , " the data of maturing accounts is lixed beyond the. period of doubtful collection.1 ; and stock inventories. Iron continues to fahow activityespecial ly in steel rails. Sales of wool in lending markets have exceeded expectation and there is a contidcnt feeling among hold ers with values stilly maintained. Dur ing the week Ihe grain trade situation has continued dull , with hardly anything doing for oxporls la wheat ami only moderate activity in corn , The move ments in wheat from farmers' hands has been running nearly fifty per cent small er than a year ago , but the absence of an export market has increased the visible supply over a million and a half bushels. Aflor a full nml patient hearing of I ha ( csliuiony relating lo the deal Ii of Mrs. John W. Lauer , JiulgoSlcnbcrglias com mitted Mr. Lance to , the county jail to awail the linding of the- criminal eoiirt. This decision is in full accord wilh Hie law in such case * made and provided. The circumstances of the shooting of Mrs. haiierrcn \ \ taken in connection with T\5r. L'lner's notoriously brulal trcalmenl of Ids wife , made a strong presumption of guilt and . Judge StcntJ n ; only discharged his duty in holdins the accused without bail. In being placed in close custody Mr. Lauer Is accord * * ! this same treatment as any other man would In ; under like conditions. If the grand jury , which can only be called at the regular term of the diilricl court , after a thorough Investiga tion becomes satisfied thai the killing wasaceident.il , Im will be discharged. Otherwise lie will receive a fair trial at the hands of an impartial jury. In a trial for life ho will have the full ben elil of the presumption that he is inno- eenl iinlil twelve m-jii gord ami true af ter hearing nil th'1 ' evidence are con vinced beyond a doubt that he is guilty. Wilhthh pro.-Mlitro Mr. L-.iuer and his friends have no grounds for dissatisfac tion. In fact , Mr. Latior , if ho is an in nocent man should court the most search inginqiiiry even at ( he expense of basing temporarily deprived of his liberty. Voroiir part wo have no apologies lo make for HID course we have pursued in his casWo aru no nsspoetor of persons or stations. Mr. Laiter as a man in our esteem is no better than any other wife * beater and there is no good roa on why lie should have been treated wilh such li'iidornev , before he was committed. Our con.Miro of the eorouor'.s inquest was not lee severe in view of Hie plain letter of the law and our demand Hint if a erini1 ! had Ir'cn committed il -iiould not be covered up simply voiced an overwhelming public sentiment. There is no personal spiti ) in this easy and no desire to do an injustice or to create prejudice against an innocent man. There never was any danger of violence to Mr. Laucr when h was at largo and whatever resentment may exist now will have ample time lo cool oil' bnfoni the February term of court. If by that time his attorneys think thai lie cannot receive justice in Douglas county they can secure a change of vcmn and have the ease tried elsewhere.

An K.vnmplr or DoiuosH1 Virtue. St. Louis Globe-Democrat : Whatever may be said in criticism of Ihe late Vice President Ileitdricks' political career am teachings It is a pleasure lo recognize the tact that in his domestic life he fur nlshcd an example of virtue that was at honor and an advantage to his country Wo hear so much about Ihe allegei moral laxity of public men that il is wel worth while to stop in presence of such : beautiful story of matrimonial lidelil.v and felicity a * Is hero brought cousple iiottsly and pathetically to the attention n the country. Mr. Hendrleks marriei his wife at Hie very beginning of hi course as a politician , and after fort. } years ot doM ! companionship and multi plied trials and temptations , he Mill re mained to the hist her loyal ami devotee lovei' , careful of her smallest coiufor and eager to deserve her confidence am win her smiles and praises. A man inns have been good at heart who born him elf thus faithfully and tenderly in sucl a respect. Ho musthave been nioro thai merely gootl , indeed ; for it requires coin age and intelligenl caution , also , to sus liiin a part of thai sort with perfect am fibbiing success. Mr. Heiulrleks was never a si-nlnncnla man , as such a designation is commonly understood. His habits of thought am feeling were severely logical and practi cal ; his employments and ambitions , wen all of a kind that forbade the idea of in diligence in poetry and romance. Am yel he contrived to keep fivMi and sweet and free from every taint of .suspioiot that quality of his nature whieh linkei him , as it does all men more or less , to the knight * and troubadours of ancient days. Tie. would probably have laugher at the .suggestion that any special crcdi I was due him for loving his wife HI an honest and single-minded way , or Ilia1 his well known excellence as a hnshum. was any special asMslnnee to him as a politician ; out if the truth could IJL known it would unquestionably appeal that he owed much of his popularity and influence to that very thing. Ili domestic life was so correct , so earnest , so impressive , thai people believed in bini even when it scorned impossible on other accountsto trust the integrity of his motives and intentions , though he may never have reali/ed il. "All the world loves a lover"Emerson assures us ; and Hie spell as just us strong when Hie lover happens lo be a we.diled ono as when he is simply IJomco at Juliet's balcony. The American people in particular , with all their noted niler- est in Hie purely material issues of lifts , aru quickly ami appreciatively attracted by ii show of ohl-fashioncd nfVeetion a eiisc of simple and st-adfasl marital at tachment wliero there might so easily be an instance of broken vows , of a elos- oteil skeleton , of coarse and bitter scan dal. Mr. Hondricks was spared many a hard blow from his adversaries , we may easily believe , because they respected him so highly In this connection , and were so loth lo call in question the pub- lie character of a man who in his private relations was so worthy of honor ami imitation. He made friends the more readily and held I hem the more secure ly by reason of what might have been dismissed wilh n shrug as a bil of senti ment only , but which was really regard ed as a proof of fundamental veracity and general goodness , of sou ml and wholesome manhood. It is not true , though It occasionally seems so , that the people of this country are. disposed to look leniently upon do mestic delinquencies in high places erin in lower spheres either for that matter , They may appear to pardon , or at least to tolerate , such oil'ensus now and then , but in fact they have no sympathy with thorn , and if they overlook them at all it is under protest and with a forfeiture of confidence in the oilbuders that can never bo wholly recovered. That man who supposes that : i definite and substan tial public reputation ean be. achieved in spite of trilling with the domestic vir tues is sadly mistaken. He may succeed for a time and to a certain extent , bul he will inevitably go down. In the nature of things , n point must be reached where tlio moral tcstwill be applied lo him with u fatal result. Whatever ho may think about his right to order his private affairs to ills own liking , he lias a responsibility which he can not long evade , and popu lar opinion will exact in the end an over whelming penalty , as noln few have had Iho misery to find out within easy recol lection. Mr. Hcndricks did not attain tlio sum mit of his ambition ; bul ho accomplished more , it is reasonable to believe , because of his line domestic faithful MUSH than he could possibly have done without it. There were several crises in his career when Unit alone must have saved him from political destruction. He could not have sustained himself as he did under homo of his stresses of grave mistake and ' misfortune , and reached al last the ex alted phicH in which he died , if it had not lieon that the people found some cause oulsldu of his strictly political operations lo be patient with his follies and Ills fail ures. The lesson is an obvious anil an important ono , and no man In or out of public life can afford to pass it by with out serious thought.

I started from the town of Buchanan at the center of South Dawx- * county , and took a route north of west for 'about thirty miles toward the Wyoming line. The ascent was very slight and the sur face so even that a road-hcd could be constructed from the starling point to the Wyoming line at minimum r.ilcs not a single creek need be crossed and very little culling or filling. Tlie soil all the way was of richest black loom The ttirriiory west of Buchanan to tlie Wyomiii" ' line and noi'thand south , thirtv miles of the route traveled , will in lime supporl a prosperous population of a million souls.

To give an idea of the si/.e of the territory called the llox Unite 1 shall .stale thai il comprised several million acres .lying m Nebraska anil Wyoming , all of it being the very choicest of 'igrieulturai lands. Il will prove the supply point for tlie immense mineral region lying in Wyoming and Dakota. ' .I hose mineral resources should not bo lightly passed by when there is such an neeossible route through Die linesl agricultural region lo them. Tlnini mineral deposits could be readied by the lironcho lake and liox llulic route by an air-line from Omaha. The thousand.- people living between the. Union Paoitic and AHs oifri Valley railroads would he afforded transporta tion and competition , and Omaha mer chants would have the opportunity to compete with Sioux City and Chicago wholesalers in the very region whieli the latter are seeking to control , It is not necessary to speak of the fertile soil , pnro water , fuel , ami free homes of Ibis region. Those facts are known through out tlio west , 15ut the facts concerning the most feasible route for llio Omaha road , and the good feeling of the mer chants and thousands of people are cer tainly pertinent. From what I know of the situation , the people of this region will gnc , and give liberally , to an Omaha road.
