The jirctcndcd discovery of the assas sin of Watson It. Smith in the person of John Picrson was exploded sovcrnl months ngo by the last United States grand jury. After a thorough inquiry Into the confession of I'icrson , said to huvo been made in confidence to a fellow convict In the penitentiary , the grand jury failed to find aiy ground for an In dictment , cither against Pionon , Jack Kngcnt or Ciroomos , each of whom wits flnld to bo Implicated. No now evidence that would justify the belief that Picrson oilhior murdered WntwmH. Smith or had been u party to the murder has yet come in possession of the oflicors of the law. It is not oven claimed that they linvu as- suiance of receiving Mich additional evi dence. What wan ant U there , then , for the ariest of PloiFnn on this ehaigo the moment , he had solved out his sentence for grand larceny ? What tight had the commissioner before whom i'loison wan at ralgncd to commit him without bail to pilMUi to await the aetlon of the next grand jury ? Picrson , It is line , has been a convict , and ho may be a. very bad man. But for all that Im Is entitled to Ills Illi citly nnli-ss there la leasonablo gtotind for bolluf that ho has commuted the ctlmo with which ho is charged. ' 1 lie mere fact Hint Picison Is an outcast without friends anil without money lould not deprive him of the lights which other men enjoy in a free country. Tlio pielimiiiary tilal befoio Commissioner Hllllngsloy was If unj thing a moii ) outi.igeoiiH tuivesly on justice than VVIIH perpolialod In the uucst nnd impiisonmcnt of August Aindt for the .samocilmu. When Arndt waa clapped Into ptison for thojnnrder of Watson II , Smith , tineo ycaifi ago , ho was denied the privilege of seeing lilsown family and kept in close conlincmcnt long enough to cnublo the detectives to lillu his lunik nnd to cairy oil' coitain papois which weie needed by Arndt to make absolute proof of his famous case against the Union Paclllu , whoso decision involved the en- the laud grant of that toad. Thoie is no moio in oof ag.ilnsl I'iur.son than there was against Aimil. The only object , as wo have over been able to learn , for branding Aindt as a murdcicr and do- piiving him of his liboitv for weeks , was his bull bended oflbil to compel the Union Pacific ro.id to stiriondur ti quar ter section of land in Sannders county upon which ho had Buttled. Aindt was indiHorcol enough to lobol against ids t > i.innical tioalmont , nnd ho was punished by a United States comtbyii short term of imprisonment on thu pretext Unit houltciod thioats against the judge. What the aim and object of Pinrson's ineaiceialion may bo , we cannot divine , unless it is for the purpose of enabling Warden Nobes1 to got some notoriety as a gteat detective. And this brings us dhcctly to the conduct of Nobes in this case , AccoidhiR to Piorson , the pic- tended confession was concocted by ono Snlton. a convict who was anxious to vvoik uponNobub' vanity as a detective , and got an oaily release as u leward. Pieidon further charges that Nobes hummed him in the dark cell nnd toiturod him several times to oxtoit from him the confession which Sutton had repoitcd. The question is , what light has Waidun Nobes to play the in quisitor ? What light hns ho to toituro convicts with ti view to o.xtoiling confes sions fiom them ? Supposing tlsal Ptoi- bon had nctually admitted every ci line in the calendar under Iho Ihumbscrow piebsuro , what value would his confes sion have in a trial for murder ? Would not the courts have to ittlo oul all Mich evidence ? Tills Is , however , in full keeping with Mr. Nobes' iccoid. When bo was impoitod from Joliet , ton years ago , ho introduced into the penitentiary a system of most lovolling torlure. Ho hung men in stocks , buspended man by their thumbs , hummed thorn in dark cells and chained thorn to thu bull rings. At thu instance of thu Itr.i : a committed was appointed by the legihlatuio to invcstigato those ctuultics , and thai committee unani mously lequnstod the governor to have those practices abolished and the warden and his dopuly dismissed. Thu iccom- inundations of the legislature with 10- g.nd to torture wore oairiedout. The waidon , Mr. Woodhurst , was dismissed , but Nobos , who had boon the chief cau.se of the cruelties , was rutained nnd In due time oven promoted. His conduct to wauls 1'kn son would indicate that he lias resumed his favorite pastime , toi lur ing piisonors. Why the United States anthotitins should lend themselves to such business for the suko of making Nobes famous passes our comprehension , As a matter of justice and common humanity we pro test against the impiisonmenl of Pieisou under the sham trial bofoio Comm'iH- olonor llllllngsly. Four years have elapsed since thu mm dor of Mr. Smith. The detectives hav e had ample time to work up the case , and this gt cat mare's nest will hardly justify the courts in making victims of men who happen to belong to the cilmlnal classes. Society has no right to persecute and hound men who have load enough to cairy in being branded as ox-convlets. Tlio City lUcutlon. Thoru is much ut stake this year In the city election which comes olV ten dajs h.cnce. While wo do not elect a major and full sot of officers , we arc to replace one half of the city council nnd one- thiid of thu bchool board. These conn- oilmen will constitute one-half of the city council next year as vvoll as thisjcnr and the member. , of the board of educa tion will hold for tluecyear- . The power of the cllj council for good or bad is incalculable If composed of piudcnl and uptight men the council will ? uvo thousands of doll.us to the taxpajcrs and gi\o us a city government that will materi ally further the growth and prosperity of Omaha , Made up of job bers and scallawa . the council will become - como u source of danger to piopcrty- owners , ana a drawback to the general welfare of the city. Thcio never was a time when Omaha needed good men in thu council moio than * ho will in the next two i ears Tlio great strides w'hich this city has made in the past liveye.irancce-v- gitato pubho improvements on : \ very large > > culo. It Is safe to say that more than a million dollars will bo spent by Onnha iu the next two ycai's ' for public improvements. Ihoro is ulnt-iJy work enough laid out for this j car to amount to more tlum half a million. The question is whrthcr the pouucil is to repre sent the interests of the tax payers or whether it is to be owned by corporations , contractors nnd speculators. All the safeguards which the charier lias placed against jobbery nnd corruption amount to nothing when severely put to the test. The laws make it n criminal offense for nny city olllcinl to bo directly or Indl- icetly Interested in contracts , or nny Im provements which the council controls. Hut tl is notorious that contractors and conncilmcn have a way of whipping the devil around the slump. Whcio n dishonest councllmcti desires n share in the prollU of n conlracl , ho alwniH manages to find some way to grallfy his gieed. Whal Iho city needs Is responsible and reputable business men at the helm of public affairs. The Itoublo Is llial busi ness men as a class take no interest In Iho clly allahs , They mo nlwnjslndig- mint when aii.v thing goes w i eng , bill they ate the last to mnku nny sacrifice of their own comfort or convenience for Iho pub lic good , The method by which candi dates aio put fotwnrd requlics active pnitlelpntlon in the primary elections.

Tor lliu result , they hayo only Ihcmsolvos to blame. Otliur IiiuulH Tlmn Ourx. The government bus notified parlia- incut that it has set April 1 as the day on which Mr. Gladstone will bring his liish progiammo bofoio the commons. On tliat date the split in the llbcial ranks may bo expected to disclose itself. The iiitiodttction of the monsuio will doubt less compel Mr. Chamboilain to show his hand. Ills ladicul colleagues whoso threats of resignation from the cabinet nnd of opposition in the house will also bofoicod to declare themselves. That thciowillbo important defections from Mr. Gladstone's party is certain. Upon the stiongth or weakness of the icvolt will depend Hie failure or success of thu lii.st ladical ullorl to deal with the condi tion of Ireland. Mr. Chamberlain is n whrowd and an able politician. The lib- cud party tire indebted liugely for their httccoss in 1880 to his practical talent for oigaui/.ation. Ills work among the rural constituencies in 1885 saved Mr. Glad stone from defeat last November. Ho has a considerable following in the pros- out parliament and a , largo constituency among the newly enfranchised votes out- bide. Whether Mr. Gladstone can carry his Irish programme with Mr. Chamber lain leading a indical icvolt against il is the nil absoibing question. Purnoll bo- liovcs ho can , The Iiish loader boldly assorts upon an appeal to the county , liish votes will return Mr. Gladstone to power with n majority of 170 over toiics und followers of Mr. Chnmbcilnin com bined. Other friends of the premier in- sisl that Chamberlain's defection will be harmless and will inin its lender in the futuru. lint the outcome is in doubt. Il must icmnin so until the strength of the libelal defection is developed. . * * German scmi-olhcinl oignns seem de termined to impi ess upon their readers the certainty of nn impending conllicl between Franco nnd the Fatheilund. Nuvor since tlip death of Uambctta has the prospect of a war between the two nations boon so earnestly discussed. It is dillicnlt , however , to sco the basis for Ihc excitement. The French papers 10- iuso to 10join to the Gorman attacks. There scorns to bo no intention on the part of the French government to furnish nn occasion for such nil outbieak. Whether the clatter of the German press masks somu hidden move on the continental chess bo.ud remains to bo scon. Fiance Is certainly not yet piopaicd for Iho "war of rovongo" of which she was once so pioudly ptcdicting. liismaick's diplo macy has icndorod her isolated among the nations of Europe. Italy was thai estranged , then Russia and Austria. Tliu center of diplomatic Intrigue was long ngo moved fiom Paris to IJoilin. Nor has the Fionch army yet profited Mif- ftclonlly fiom the lesson of 1670 lo enable il to moot the legions of Germany on an equal fooling. I'ranco is wlso enough to submit to tliu inevitable and to wait a more favorable oppaitunlty for retali ation. It ims not yet come. The results of Bismarck's negotiations with the Vatican are appealing. The cloiieals have already rallied to his sup- poit in the anti-socialist measure which will piobably bo passed in a modified foi in through clerical votes. The chan cellor Is busy with ids plans for German- I/ing Poland , for incioasing the Gciman cxpoit trade nnd for extending the aulhoiity of tlio empire in its taxing power with n view to increasing the bud get. Nothing dismayed by the lojuction of his spliit monopoly bill , ho has drafted another meastu e i aislng thu tax on spii its which ho is confident of putting on it.- , . * passage. * ThuAmeiiean consul at Copenhagen furnishes some very interesting nnd sug gestive facts concerning agriculture in Denmark. It is shown , for instance , that 1 t lia funnel * of that country nru much bettor of ) ' than those of Great Dritain nnd Franco , because they began some years ngo to tm n their attention to the dairy and liv u stock business instead of devoting their efforts entirely to the growing of grain , This is a lesson vv hich American agriculturists need to leain above all others , The tlm has como when they Cfcn no longer icly upon prolitnblo prices for vv bent , corn and cotton and the sooner they begin to change their operations nccoidingly , the butter it will bo for them in every icspcet. * The French army has always been more or lu s a disturbing element in poll- tie ; , and some of the moat important vv art ever lakou part in by Franco vvoru ontcrfd.upon to t > atisfy the militari" ele ment. Keeently , however , two regiments wen-transferred by the minister of war from pleasant quarters v > hich they hnd hold for fourteen jears to less desirable stations , becsusu their oflitcrs hud been too outspoken In expressing their 6jrn- luuhy with the aiislocnitio party nnd thulr dislike of republican civil officials.

The autocrats will pull the strings nnd the people dance about as they will. Yet is it only the autocrats that do this ?

Whatever may happen In the fuluio , thcio aru ns yet no tollable indications that the coinmcicial supremacy of Eng land is seriously threatened , ami English cabinets do not icmlily > luld to hasty and inconsiderate demands. The picsent dcpicssion Is feoveio upon the vvoiking classes , bnl Ihoio is no icason to suppose that it is more than temporary or that an English administration allow itself lo bo hurilcd into a change of policy by a popular clamor. * \ The unpopularity of tlio queen has ex-- clled set ions alarm , oven in English court circles which ate gcnci ally tlio last lofoel any uneasiness , and us consequence and collective , Victoria Kuginia has an nounced her Intention of appearing in public moro frequently hereafter. The causes of unpopularity are several in number , the most nelivo being her recent attempts to influence the couiso of political matters by in- tcrforing in cabinet arrangements , nnd her long scolusiou which 1ms mnde her a stranger to the English people. Not n few of the most bitter complaints como fiom the London trades-people , who lament the difieicnco between the present nml the pnsi for , fiequent royal appearances and court fetes at Iho capi tal mean heavy salosi and largo receipts. How deep tlio feeling against the queen is can not easily bo loldv but there must bo moio 'than mere , taljc in it , or the queen could not have been induced lo idler her course. 1 A The Canadian government if making arrangements "for a lively season with immigration , the njrcnld of the vai ions colonies in the dominion having como together and held a conference to decide upon ways nnd moans for carrying on the campaign with vigor during the confmir summer.
