AGITATOKS for the autonomy of Cuba
have taken a "pointer" from the homo-
rule efforts of Mr. Panic ! 1 , and are de
manding of Spain a more liberal recog
nition of the right of the Cuban people
to mauago their own afl'airs. The effect
of the agitation has boon to secure
promises of a fair and liberal policy of
commercial and political reforms. Un
questionably Cuba can present a case
hardly loss worthy of consideration than
is that of Ireland.
WHY the manufacturers of cigars and
cigarettes should desire to advertise their
goods by means of Hash pictures of an
Indecent character ia something that the
virtuous public cannot understand.
Hourly every cigar is now ' 'decorated"
vrith pictures of this character which
ought not to bo toloratod. It is encour
aging to know , however , that a move-
inont against indecent advertising has
at last boon started , and the society for
the suppression of vice , having its head
quarters in Now York , will probably In
augurate a' vigorous warfare in every
city of the country agalnit suchjimmoral
advertising.
IT was Marshal Cummlngs of Omaha
who hrat inaugurated the warfare upon
the "Mother Hnbbard , " which lias slnco
spread to nearly every oity in the coun
try. The last chief of police to dis
tinguish himself In this way Is Spoors of
Kansas City. Ho has issued an order
that "Mother Hubbnnls" shall bo kept
off the streets. "It soonis , " says the
Kansas City Times , "to have bcon tacitly
understood all around that a bolt or a
cloae fitting waist should bo an essential
feature of the legal fomluino apparel.
Why the police should take tins stand
and not attack , also'tho loll-talo pullbaok
skirts is what the Kansas City social
science club will shortly ask Chief Spcora
to explain. Merely as a single question
it Is not of such penetrating importance ,
but as loading up to the thrilling general
issue of police regulation of womankind's
fancies , it Is well worth a few weeks of
communion between Mr. Spoors and the
social science club , "

larger than those of Senator Van Wyck ,

scored by the corporation cappers nnd
papers because ho dared to say that in
certain parts' of Nebraska it took ICO
bushels of corn to ray for n too of hard

of four bushels of corn hero to got the

The English CnntpnlRn.
Tljc progress tlms far of the political
campaign in Kngland , so far as relates to
the spirit manifested by the opposing
forces and the character of their utter
ances , is most decidedly In favor of the
llborals. No unprejudiced person who
has read attentively the manifestoes and
sppcc'ics of Mr. Gladstone and of the
leaders of the opposition can have failed
to bo impressed by the very striking
contrast there is in their lone and tem
per a contrast hot less marked and con
spicuous than the superior verbal purity
and rhetorical llnisli which so preeminently
nently distinguish the productions of the
great liberal Icador as to entitle them to a
place among English classics.
Every utterance of Mr. Gladstone is
characterized by that calmness , modera
tion and dignity which should mark
the discussion of a great national
question that appeals to the reason
and the sense of justice of the people.
Presenting In his manifesto , with plain
and simple directness , the merits of the
issue , and making the alternatives in
volved so clear to the apprehension that
( ho least Intelligent among the voters of
Great Hritian could not fall to under
stand them , In nothing that he has slnco
said has ho in thu slightest degree de
parted from the simple and explicit text
which ho sent out ten days ago to his
Midlothian constituents , Ho has been
most earolul not to allow the cli-arly de
fined is'uu of the campaign to bo hidden
or befogged for a moment by any discus
sion ot details , holding the popular mind
up to the contemplation solely of the
question whether imperial power shall
continue to exact a coerced obedience
from Ireland , with nil that such a condi
tion implies of oppression , hatred , law
lessness and the perpetuation of deadly
feuds , or the Irish people shall bo per
mitted to manage their own affairs and
bo as justly and fairly dealt with
as are the people 'of the other
dependencies of tlio nation , with the as
surance of results politically , morally
and materially advantageous to the am-
piro. Nothing could bo moro admirable
than the spirit and the sentiment which
distinguish the arguments of Mr. Glad
stone in support of his great nuuso.
Very different arc the appeals of the
loaders of the opposition , from Salisbury
to Churchill. The distinguished loader of
the lories has essayed both ridicule and
abuse , and having sot the example has
bcon surpassed in both by his apt and
ready satellite. The manifesto of Church
ill is an almost brutal piece of vitupera
tion , and if there Is any sense of fairness
left among Englishmen ought to drive
thousands of them irom the support of n
cause that requires such a defense and is
championed by such an advocate.
But if Churchill has gone a
little beyond all the other
leaders of the opposition to homo rule
in abuse of Mr. Gladstone and m appeal
ing to the passions and the fears of the
people , it is simply because ho is moro
bold and reckless than any of his col
leagues , and not because ho fools any
more strongly than they the sentiments
ho utters. Salisbury is not loss bitter
than Churchill , but ho is far less cour
ageous.
It is impossible that Englishmen who
are not hopelessly fettered by traditional
prejudice or strong personal interests
can fail to bo impressed by the wide dif
ference there is In the clovated charac
ter of Mr. Gladstone's advocacy of his
cause and the bad temper of the appeals
of the tory Icadors , nor can it bo doubt
ful what the effect of such an impression
must bo in determining the action oi
those voters who are accessible to Its in-
iluence.
Private Pension Bills.
The president has just bcon making
liberal , and for the most part entirely
commendable , use of the veto power.
Ho returned to congress Monday , with
his disapproval , fifteen bills , thirteen of
which were private pension bills. In re
lation to these pension measures , the
president observes that ho is so thor
oughly tired of disapproving gifts of
public money to individuals who , in his
opinion , have no right or claim to it , that
ho interposes with a feeling of relief in
cases where ho finds it unnecessary to de
termine the merits of the application.
Ho also states a fact not generally known
to the country , that a largo pronor-
tion of tlio bills making promiscuous
and ill-advised grants of pensions had
never been submitted to a majority of
cither branch of congress , "but are the
result of nominal sessions , held for the
express purpose of their consideration
and attended by a small majority of the
members of the respective houses of the
icgislativo branch of the government. "
In other words the practice inferentially
is for those congressmen who are inter
ested hi those private pension bills to
muster as occasion may require in sufll-
cicnt force to pass them , the mutual un
derstanding being to dispense with in
quiry and discussion as to their merits.
Looking casually over a lute Issue of
the Congressional Record wo noted no
fewer than thirty-eight bills introduced
in a single day providing lor the grant
ing of pensions or Increase of pensions.
Perhaps this may have been an excep
tional day in the Introduction of this
class of measures , but no day of the ses
sion pusses without the presentation of
bills of this character , many of which
have not the slightest foundation of righter
or just claim to rest upon. For obvious
reasons a great number of those grants
have in the past boon allowed almost
without a question , and now constitute a
very considerable part of the heavy
annual charge which the pension bureau
makes upon the government a ohargo
which any other pcoplo than these of the
United States would regard as a very soil-
ous bunion , and the inaraaso of which even
this most generous people will no longer
regard with complacency or Indifference.
No citizen will demur to making just
and generous provision for the defenders
of the union and their posterity , but as the
prosldeut justly says , "Ileodlossness and
disregard of the principle which under
lies the granting of pensions is unfair to
the wounded , crippled soldier who is hon
ored in just recognition by his govern
ment , " and who should tiover find him
self side by side on the pension roll "with
those who have bcon tempted to attribute
the natural Ills to which humanity is heir
to service In the army , " It is manifestly
time that greater care and a closer in
quiry were exercised with respect to al
leged claims for pensions , to the end that
this enormous draft upon the public
treasury shall not bo enlarged by uuvtur- .
ranted demands. There la need that a
vigorous check be put upon the
industry of claim njrenu and
7
the willingness of congressmen
to vole away the public money to
individuals who can inako out , with
the hcln of nn astute attorney , a plausible
case. There is n popular belief , evidently
shared by the , president , that thcro are
few of the defenders of the union or their
heirs who could present a just claim upon
the beneficence of the nation that have
not been provided for , and the people
will approve the action of the president
in vetoing the private pension bills which
he had reason to bclicvo wcro not sup
ported by a just claim to favorable con
sideration , thus notifying congress
thnt its loose practice in this direction
could no longer bo assured of executive
countenance.
KIMVIN P. Wmri'i.n , the well known
essayist , is dead. For many years ho
had held a prominent position in lioston
literary circles. His brilliant essay upon
Macaulay in 1343 first brought him into
general public notice. This review was
highly complimented by Macaulay on
account of its high literary stylo. His
other essays and contributions to litera
ture generally attracted general attention
upon their appearance , and many of
them still hold high place in the esteem
of careful and thoughtful readers. In
speaking of Mr. Whlpplo the Springllold
( Mass. ) Jlcpttblican says : "It Is honor
enough to sav that In his prime Mr.
Whipplo was in good domund before the
audiences which listened toKuicr&on and
to Dr. Holmes. Ho was contemporary
with the remarkable" group of lltoratcnrs
now falling by the way , know them all ,
and enjoyed and contributed to their so
ciety. His talent was not equal to theirs ,
but it was his own , gave him a respect-
aolo place in their midst , and was oxer-
oiscd like theirs to lift the people up to
the great moral and political evolution
which the last half of his life has wit
nessed. Never did a school of essayists ,
lecturers , poets , novelists and preachers
turn the earth upon a revolution so
mightily as did these mon , and to the
great end of freedom Mr. Whipplo also
labored. Achievement of that end , and
the rise of a now school of literature ,
with different moral purposes , if any at
all , has hurricu the world along , and it
is doubtful if Mr. Whipplo will leave
much which will bo read in the future. "
AMONG the immigrants which como to
the United States thcro is no clnsss moro
acceptable , and none which contributes
moro by its industry and thrift to tlio
general prosperity , than the sturdy pco
plo from the north of Europe included in
the generic name of Scandinavians. It is
stated that for a number of yoara past
the annual How of these pcoplo to Amer
ica has reached from 40,000 to 00,000 , .
nearly all of whom have found homes in
the northwestern states. Minnesota has
received a liberal share of those people ,
as have also Iowa , Kansas mid Dakota ,
while according to the census of 1880
Nebraska had 10,101 Swedes , 2,010 Nor
wegians , and 4,511 Danes. During the
past six years the population of Nebraska
has been very largely augmented from
this source , probably no other city in the
country of no greater population having
ai present so many Scandinavians among
its residents as Omaha has. These people
ple arc m every respect a most desirable
and worthy element of the population ,
being not only industrious , prudent and
law-respecting , but having an intuitive
love of free institutions which renders
them politically the best ot citizens. Ac
cretions to our population from this
source are always safe and to bo heartily
welcomed.
THE United States senate has given
very positive notification to the demo
cratic opponents of civil service reform
that they may as well abandon .for the
present all hope of destroying the law ,
whatever they may bo able to accomplish
by way of crippling or embarrassing its
operation. When the bill of Senator
Vance , to repeal the civil service act ,
came up a few days ago a motion for its
indefinite postponement prevailed by a
heavy majority , including eight demo
crats. It may be noted also In this con
nection that a report from Washington
states that since his return from Indiana
Mr. Holman , who joined witli Randall in
an effort to nullify the civil service law
by putting a rider on the legislative ap
propriation billhas experienced a change
of heart on this subject and will probably
desert the anti-reform element. Tlio un
happy condition of the democracy re
garding this and other reforms is an in
teresting spcotaclo , if not an edifying
study. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
IT is understood that the annual lighten
on the Fitz John Porter bill will bo re
newed in the senate on next Thursday ,
and accompanying the announcement is
the quito comforting assurance that Mr.
Logan has "boiled down" his usual throe
days' speech into one that will consume
only a few hours , while ether senators
having exhausted themselves on the sub
ject will have nothing to say. Congress ,
in common with the people of the coun
try , is heartily tired of the controvosy ,
and thcro is most favorable promise that
it will bo finally disposed of at the pres
ent session by restoring Porter to the
army , an act of justice that has bcon
most unwarrantably delayed.

Tlio TnrilT Question.
OMAHA , Juno SO. To the Kdllor of the
BIK : : Last Saturday your deservedly
popular paper published a letter on tlio
tariff question by Mr. J. Morton. I pre
sume lie is a dccinlc of the apostle ol
free trade , Sterling Morton. His ideas ate
to what ho thinks is an obstruction to the
growth of Omaha has one feature
about them of being the imaginings of
his versatile genius. Ho commences b >
staling that wo want manufacturing in
dustry to insure us against reaction and
check the growth of Omaha. Ou that
every thinking person in this community
agrees and recognizes its necessity ,
His opinion that high tariff against
foreign imports is ono of the causes that
operates against local enterprise , ho also
states is the cause of us being shut up in
the homo market. How ho arrives at
such conclusion that lowering the tarifl
would enable us to sell our products in
foreign markets and make our nianufnc-
urcs independent of tlio homo market , I
fail to see. Does ho moan by that to al
low foreign imports to glut the homo
market and our manufacturers in
order to meet that competition
to rcduco American labor below the
price paid by European manufacturers ?
That must bo his idea as there is no other
way by which we can compete , then ho
goes off and says why not experiment on
a wholesale tariff rotorm.
Permit mo to inform Mr. Morton that
democrats have experimented in the past
as 1 will prove to the vast injury of the
country. Experience scorns to have no
effect on them ; to-day as in the past they
are trying to tinker with legislation on
tariff.
Pittthc English premier in 1783 boasted
that ho had reconquered the colonies as
commercial dependencies , contributing
moro absolutely and in a larger degree
to England's prosperity than before the
political connection was severed.
So would the Cobdeu club of to-day
exult in the reduction of the tariff , so
that this country could be Hooded with
cheap labor products of Europe. To-day
the republican party , true to the
traditions handed down to posterity by
the fathers of the republic , from the time
of the immortal Washington to that of
Blaiup , the statesman still uphold the
principles of protection to American in
dustry. What is wanted now is not n
reduction of tariff , but protection to
American labor.
Henceforth strictly prohibit the im
portation by any methods of cheap
foreign labor ; cause a tax to bo levied
upon all labor coming into the United
States , also that all persons coming into
this country shall have as much money
as will support them for six months.
That would protect us against the
governments of Europe sending their
paupers hero to glut the labor market.
Our mon hero in such organizations as
( ho 1C. of L..havo advocated the reduction
of the hours of labor so as to give em
ployment to some of the thousands of in
dustrious men of work.but whatwill their
sacrifice avail them if foreign govern
ments are allowed to dump Uioir surplus
population on our shores ? It cannot go
on. Wo must protect homo labor. 11
must not bo a one-sided protection any
longer. Labor is entitled to the same
protection given to capital.
In every period of our country's his
tory , when protection principles wore
departed from , depression and general
bankruptcy followed.
I'cnnit mo to refer Mr. Morton to the
compromise act of 1833 , which was in
reality an abandonment of the principle
of protection , which brought in its wako
commercial disaster from 1837 to 1812 ,
when the country had to return to nigh
protection principles , which restored
prosperity to the pooplo. History proves
that protection tills the coders of the
treasury. Democrats , when in power ,
always .advocated a policy of free trade ,
which has bcon , as it would bo now , de
structive of the prosperity we now enjoy.
In the past their reason was as it is
to-day , that the revenue is in excess of
government expenses ; in other words , n
tariff for rovcnuo only. The oxporicnce of
the past seems of no benefit to the party ;
they would allow the specie to bo given
in exchange for foreign manufactured
goods , which would result in leaving our
citizens without employment.
Manutacturing competition and the
rivalry ot traders will secure to the con
suming masses goods as cheap us it is
possible to produce them.
It seems to mo that Mr. Morton falls
into the popular error that it is only tlio
manufacturers that lire protected. Ho
scorns to tniiik that farmers have no pro
tection.
Mr , Editor , although I have extended
this letter longer than i intended , allow
mo to state , for the information of the
gentleman who thinks that the agricul
tural west has no protootion against for
eign computition , to quote a few of the
import duties on agricultural products :
Timber , spars and piles , 20 pur cent ;
oranges , per box , 23 cents ; tobaccos , nor
pound , 33c to 1 ; Hour , 20 per emit ; um
ber , square nnd sided , per 1,000 foot. $10 ;
wool , per pound , 0 cents ; live animals , 20
per cent ; hay , per ton , $3 ; honey , per
gallon , 20 cent.i ; butter ami ohcuuo , 4
cents pur pound ; corn , 21 per cent ; milk ,
20 per cent ; outs , 25 per cent ; potatoes ,
per bushel , 10 cents ; wheat , 21 percent ;
ether vegetables , 80 par cent ; butter 20
per oont ; cheese , 40 per cent ; hops , 80 per
cent.
From the above the experimental tariff
reformers Will lind out that our fanners
will not allow a reduction of tariff that
would allow the farm products of lliis-
sia and India to compete , duty free , witn
American produce in our home markets.
Thinking Mr. Morton might go unan
swered , I have hastily collected a few
facts that may enlighten some of our
citizens who have not studied the ques
tion from a practical standpoint.

Free Wool and Wool Growers.
o t n Fifcrt nml tt J te.
The true interests of the wool growers
and the woolen manufacturers tire not
opposed and are not so considered by
these manufacturers who advocate free
wool.
If tlio growers were really benefited by
the duty and obtained the 10 cents ptr
pound themselves , there would not bo so
much objection to the tax ; but they do
not get tlio 10 conts. It is doubtful if , in
the long run , they got even so much as 1
cent. It is iomothiiig like some of the
money raised in the name of charity , that
is only sufliclonl to pay the agents nnd
other expenses.
In the opinion of tho'o best convers
ant with the trade , wool has not ruled
higher the past years , nnd Is not so high
now as it would have been free from
duty , The demand , would , undoubtedly
have been much greater by having the
proper nualitlcs for making all classes of
goods , tlio manufacturers coiiMimutlon
of homo-grown wool would only bo
limited by the supply.
Not moro than naif enough clothing
wool is grown in this county lor making
all the so-vailed woolen goods in con
sumes. The rcmaindet is supplied by
importations.niostlyin the manufactured
state , which do not take an ounce of
American wool , and by various substi
tutes , which the manufacturers are
obliged to use to make up the deliolt , and
to enable them to compote in price with
Ilio foreign manufacturers.
The oiled of our duty has been only to
depress prices abroad to a point wnuro
tlio untaxcd manufacturers of Europe
could make it into yarns , fabrics , or
clothing , and umlcr-scll American manu
facturers in our own markets after pay
ing the smaller rate of duty on the wool
in this manufactured form
With free wool and a moderate duty
on goods , wo should immediately com-
meiiBo upon an export trade , and to
transfer to our country some of the man
ufactures of Europe. The consumption
of wool would be greatly increased , and
the homo grown would have the first
attention. Importations would only bo
used so far as required to make up the
qualities or quantity that the homo
gnm'th could not supply.
With prices equal in both countries ,
there is no doubt that Ilio English 111:11111- :
facturcra would compete with with ours
for the best grades of Ohio and Pennsyl
vania , and perhaps , too , for some of the
soft wools of the far west for making
certain fabrics. There is very little wool
grown in the world of the character of
the best Ohio. Unfortunately , the high
tax has failed to hiRreii o this , and. in
part , do doubt , because the grower lias
rarely had any portion of it in his own
pocket. If it could bo paid direct to
him , the situation would boon bo very
different.
Prohibition in Miiino.
A'citi J'oift Tltnu.
Has the republican party in Maine
cnascd to bo a prohibition party ? Some
of the prohibitionists seem to think so ,
nnd have sot about organizing a party of
their own. They held a convention at
Portland yesterday made up of 1)3 ! ) dele
gates representing GO cities and towns
and 14 counties , and declared that both
old parties "contain a now element which
will not allow tlio enforcement of the
law " and that "the
prohibitory , republi
can parly is afraid to enforce the law. "
This is a sufficient admission that the law
is not in fact enforced , though the plat
form mildlv status that "in the principal
cities of tlio state thcro is no impartial
enforcement of tlio law. " It is a notori-
rious fact that the enforcement is very
partial indeed , but if the sentiment of the
people in favor of it is not strong enough
to induce cither of the parlies into which
thov arc divided politically to enforce
prohibition , how is it to bo done by a
more handful of prohibitionists noting in
dependently and with no chance of con
trolling the machinery of the law ?
Twelve Vcara for Stealing Ilia Own
Horso.
Special dispatch to the Globe-Demo
crat from Fort Worth : A judge and jury
in a Texas district court have found a
man guilty of stealing his own horse ,
and sent him to the penitentiary for
twelve years. It is a most remarkable
case. L. W. Owens is a wealthy citizen
of Erath county. He has a splodid repu
tation for integrity in his community.
In 1855 ho branded : i mare colt out of a
mare belonging to him and turned it out
on the range. Owens came to 1'ort
Worth and remained for some time here
oa business. While away ono W. II.
Bosoy saw the colt and took it up as his
property. Owens returned , and finding
his coltln Uosoy's hands , demanded pos
session of the animal. Bosqy refused to
give it up , saying the animal was his.
The case got in the justice's court on a
writ of sequestration , and the nolt was
awarded to Owens , who thereupon took
it from Bosoy's domain. Uosoy wont
before the grand jury , indicted Owens
for theft , and the grand jury trying the
case found Owens guilty , giving him
twelve years , and ho is in jail. As far as
is known , this is the first case where a
man stole his own horse.
In London stops have been taken to
procure a convalescent homo for horses
The object of the homo , as sot forth at a
mooting of these interested , is to enable
the poorer classes cabmen , tradesmen
and others to procure , on moderate
terms , rest and treatment for horses that
are failing from overwork or accidental
causes , and which are likely to bo bene
fited by a few weeks' rest and caro.
