IfVtOM THE nEr.'S MNTOr.V IIL-ltBUJ.1 The. sensational topic of discussion in the Bi.re.ols yesterday was tlie arrest ami bring ing to Lincoln of Law and Order League James , charged with tlio olien o ns men- tionctl in ye.sterdayN papers. When Policeman Malonn marched Ids prisoner in handcuffs up lo police headquarters and arrayed tlio captive before Judge J'ar.sona , James bad nothing to say , nnd iniiduiio reply ti.yo or no to the charge ns prcferrcil. The judge , there fore , entered n , plea of not guilty on the docket and I'-ed the bail for Ills appearance at the next term of the district court at $ : WO. A. S. Raymond mend went on tlio bail bond and James was released. Hut bow thn audiences along the streets booted , from the boot blacks up. ami it was "Ah , there * Mr. James" in earnest until n cross street was taken and the crowd left in the back ground. There is no question but that iho parties whom James lias been instru mental in arresting , jubilate in tlie way .the law has laid hold upon him. Hut that should not be taken as the index of the prosecution , for tlio man who filed the complaint , Mr. J. P. Chipman , is said lo bo a member of the law niul order league himself wlio.linding this champion of law and order hnpos < ing upon himself and family , anil operat ing with a female under n false name , thought a little law and order would bo about the right thing ; and hence he him self caused the arrest. Mr. Chipman says that he can substantiate the charges made , and Mrs. Chipman will testify in like mauiic'- , if necessary , in court , and therefore there need be no fear but that justice will bo done in the matter. Policeman Malone - lone , in bringing James on the train , asked that ho turn over the amount ho hail taken possession of , and James re fused and said it wa.s in his valise and the key mailed to Lincoln. Malone then proposed to cut the valise , and James Hum came to time , producing the key , unlocked the grip and gave up. Malone proposed to have no more foolishness and adjusted the bracelets. To those ends do false reformers come who themselves are candidates for reformation. TIII : "UOVKKXOIW" MEET. There was u random gathering ot poli tiuiaus on the front poren of the capital building yesterday morning. Two or tln-co came up one walk , two or three another , and in live minutes1 time the number had reached eight or ten , includ ing Cioucral John M. Thayer , a veteran of many battles ; Senator J. N. Paul , a would-be veteran oi coming battles ; ex- Lieutenant Governor Agce , of Hamilton county1. ; ! Al. Franco , of York , and two members of tlio legislature. The meet ing , of course , discussed the fourth ol July booms to which the first mentioilet had been in attendance. Gen eral Thayer had passed tlio day before in Crete , and Mr. Paul , thanks to the friendship of a brotbor soiv atof , had uncorked his boom at a speed nt Holdruffo ; inquiry revealed that Mr. II T. Clarke , also a candidate for governor , was at Crete the day previous , althougl : tlio BEE man , who leaned against a coiv venicnf column , know Mr. Clarke was in Lincoln while the conversation was ii : progress , and hud ought to have been present ami listened to the jokes of his two opjjpjji'litSj w' ' ' ° claimed they made slow I'.rogreSs , hnvliig" hO bl'idjes ; ovei which to grant passes. In speaking of .Kisses Mr. Agco recited an occurrence ii the state senate three years figo , in which n loud condemna tion of of accepting passes was brought up on the occasion of the Minneapolis & Omaha road tendering tree transporta tion to the state Honale , but when the U. & M. und Union P.aeilie made their ten ders , all was silent. They were of imme diate use and intrinsic value. The guber natorial canvass seems to have been fairly inaugurated in these last few days and from this time hencowurd the canvass will bo in progress with a threo-cornored race between General Thayer , H. T. Clark and J. N. Paul. The times promise to bo interesting anil while a great many ! ; .j people are friendly to Thayer and Clark , the projectors ami propellers of the present regime in the executive branch of the stale government will not let Mr. Pant get lonesome if talk will count. This SfTtiio view of the case that is of times expressed at the present time , but what shall n campaign bring forth no miui knoweth. There may be a now Richmond mend in the field ore the ripening days of conventions , there may bo a stampede for some of the present candidates , but from a casual questioning with parties in diH'ercnl sections of tne state it does not look as though Mr. Paul need to lie awake for four of buing the recipient of a sensation of this kind. The cast of the political horoscope hns no predictions or promises. On the afternoon train the candidates departed homeward , General Thayur by way of York , wlioro he met with the olil soldiers , and Paul to St. Paul via Grand Island , BTATE HOUSE ITEMS. The supreme court met at their rooms yesterday and at 11 a.m. adjourned to moot the lirst Tuesday In September , when a regular call of eases for hearing will be made. The judges handed a number of decisions to tne reporter , the sylabi of which will bo prepared for pub lication to-morrow. QThc court also granted a further stay in the suntenco of QUI.VN 110IIAN.NON until January next , nnd ono of thn decis ions handed down relates to tlie question brought up from Nebraska City us to iho jiolieo judge of that city , the court decid ing that the holdover judge did notlo.se his rights in the olllco by the act of the legis lature that changed cities of the second class of over live thousand inhabitants , niul which act many interpreted ns one legislating the policu magistrate out of The commissioners of lands and build ings were in session yesterday allowing n voluminous number of bills that cnmo in to them recently from the difl'cront state institutions. To-day the report ot the contractor for the salt wells will bo passed upon , and it is said that it is n voluminous ami Interesting document. General John M. Thayer was among the visitors at the state house yesterday , nnd the cordiality vlth which ho was re solved by the different ollieitils showed their appreciation of tlio old war horse. A rilKCIOUS I'AIH , In police court yesterday ono Mrs. Nil- tick and one John Urcinun were up charged with pounding. beating , nnd maltreating an orphan boy some tun or twelve years of age , whose homo was with the Nuticks.

Iho polieo judge promptly gave lo the woman a liuu of $23 and costs , aud .o the partner of hors In the crlmo a line of $5 and costs was 'assessed. WHAT KIND OK AS OFFICER he chief of police up at Hastings can bo a question that the police authorities lero fail in answering in terms strong enough for any satisfaction. In the HKH of yesterday mention was made that Po liceman Ciirnnlmn hnd captured a jew elry thief from Hastings nnd thai tlio otlfoiais thorp had been no- tilled to conic and net him. In stead of coining , however , ho sent orders to take the goods and release the man , a mode of procedure not practiced in any enlightened police circles , and the author ities here will citlmr release the prisoner and his booty with him , or e.lsc the authorities at Hastings can take their man and punish him. The prisoner had on his person wi ! n captured a silver watch and chain , a gold pencil , bracelet' , gold pin , plain gold ring , etc. , and was taken in answer to telegrams. \ \ by the chief of police up above takes the eour.se ho does in the premises would ptt//.lo any who In thn most remote way are ac quainted with the workings of thu law.

Oh , who hasn't had that disease sometime during the course of his traveling career I" queried a nervous chap an the Omaha "limited" of his seat-mate.

Thn moment 1 got on a mov ing car I was at the window looking out for the numbers of freight cars. " "Are you cured ? " interrogated his companion. "Wait and you will see , " replied the nervous man.

T.D the Kdilor of the HIE. With your permission wo would like to state through your column's a few faets that have come to our notice n reference to that modern inquisition , : ho SUite Insane asylum. Mrs. J. H. Molntyrc , a lady resident of Seward who through nervous excitement caused by the Methodist revival hold in this place last winter , became insane and was takenol to the asylum about six weeks ago. She came to her right mind two weeks after her iirrlvaUthere and it wn < three weeks later before she could get word to her husband to coino for her. She is per fectly sane and gives n calm , careful fclatemont of what she endured and what saw in that barbaric torture pen , presided ov r by u set of liends who would grace n penitor.li'irj more becom ingly than their present'silur.'Jou. . . If what she says is true , nnd we have not the slightest reason to doubt it , the only wonder is that her reason was not en tirely dethroned. Hut her statement would not be taken in court us she was of unsound mind when taken there , con sequently she vii well huudrcds . of Afif3 ! { have no redress lor their wrongs. Twice she had her feel tripped from mider her and was tliro.wn violently onto a stone floor , and in falling she injured her left limb badly , and the jar to her system , she being u delicate woman , was very detrimental and the next day feeling too sick to sit up and not know- idg it was against the rules , she lay down on her bud to rest , when tl.o attendants took her oll'and placing her in her chair bound her in an upright position so tightly she could not move , and the strap that went around the waist was so tight as to stop circulation , and she was left strapped up in that torturous position from 0 o'clock in tlie morning until 4 o'clock in the afternoon , and when she was unbound horlimb that was injured by fallni" was swollen to twice its natural si/.e , and for ono week's time she could not put her fool to the tloor and had to be lifted from the bed to the chair. And all that torture was inllicted upon a delicate , frail woman simply be cause she was ignorant of tlie rule that Iho beds must , not bo used in tlie day time ami , leeiiug too stole to sit up , lay down on her own bed. There is another thing that shows for itself what inhuman practices they indulge in and that is a large bare place on the back of her head about twice tlio size of a silver dollar , from which an attendant pulled a bunch of hair. Just stop for a moment and think of taking n wife .ind mother , one that has had every care n loving family could give , and : i lady in delicate health at that , and putting her where it wa.s thought slio would receive the most skilled and careful treatment that can "minister to a mind diseased , " and then to have her treated with worse cruelty than ono would treat the lowest brute in creation is enough to make the blood boil. Another thing which shows their delight m ir.llietiug needless mental tor- turn was when she was perfectly sane and so anxious to hear from home and little ones , although her husband wrote every week , they did not tell her ono word about home anil family lo case her mind and anxiety about her little children , and her case is but n sample of scores of others , and the cruelties which she witnessed inllicted upon others was only another method of mental torture. She has seen patients thrown onto their backs and one attendant would sit on the body while another would cram food down tlio poor creature's throat in the most brutal man nor. For the slightest insubordination flij-.V fir5 severely PU.ii ishcd. jut when visitors come everything is smooth and pleasant , and .should one dare to cry or complain , ho suffers the consequences afterward. There is another feature of the institu tion that should bo investigated , and that is , according to Mrs. Jlc ntyre's state ment , Unit some people are kept them who have no 'business in nn insane asylum , and are worked like slaves from morning till night. One case in partic ular : A girl , we think her name is Ken nedy , was put there four years ago , not for 'insanity , but to be treated forpcriod- ical ( its , Irom which she. ontrroly re- 99.V < re.d two years iigo ; but as she lias no relatives , having been placed there by the county authorities ( wo do not know what county ) , she is powerless to get out , but is obliged to work like a slave , while Ur. Mathewson draws $ H a week from the county for her keeping. Although she is only twenty-live years old , her hair is gray , and she says she might as well ba in the penitentiary as whore she is , and that she would give a year's work to anyone who would get her out. 'Twas but a short time ago that the papers wcro full of the account of a patient who was jumped on by an attendant and had his tooth stamped down his throat , and his ribs rim through his lungs in fact , most brutally murdered and n whito- washinginvcstigating committee decided the attendant did it in pelf defense , lion. Thomas Carr , our representative from Seward county , was on that committee , and , to Ids honor bo it said , had moral stamina enough to bring in n minority report. Another case that shows their heartlessness was of a man from this county that was pronounced incurable , and , instead of bringing him and deliver ing him over to the authorities , tlio.v brought him in a buggy to Seward county in the winter time , ami left him out on the prairie , and the poor orcaturu wandered around all night unable to lind shelter and when lie was discovered his hands and foot wore badlv fro/.on. Wo understand that Samuel Welch , u resi dent of thio place , gene a relative there , who was slightly deranged , for treat ment. In n little while Welch received t notice that the man was dead , although i nothing was said in regard to his "un- thnnly takingolV. " Ho telegraphed them to keep the body as lie wished to take it away. They replied ho would bo' indebted I to tli" asylum tor u collin. When \ \ eloh i wont there ho opened the collin that they brought to the depot and found the clothes covered with clay and dirt , which went to show that the body had bean dumped into a hole without u collin , boxer or any other protection than the clothes on the body , In fact , they had disposed of the remains the game as they would of f n dead dog , and , had lie not gone for the remains , they would have been Ml so , In our estimation such treatment as that , in opposition to orders , looks us if it was done to cover up signs of foul play. Once u thief , always mistrusted. Why not so once a murderer1 ! And what can we say of Ur. Matliewt > on , the supcriii' tcndont of an institution where such barbarities arc practiced ? and that , too , not upon hardened criminals , but upon that class of allllctcd humanity , that , ot all fod's creatures under heaven , deserve the most pity and compassion. Wiiat a shall \vo do with a man in human form that will countenance such things. Unless ho "lives to bo the show and a gaze of the time , we'll have him as our raven monsters , painted upon a polo and under writ , hero you may see the licnd. " Now what is to bo done about this ? Wo need a Hen Imtlor in our gubornatoral cliair to overhaul this Nebraska Tewks- bury institution. An investigation that is nlbar , clean rfhdr sweeping should bo itoado at once mill Dr. Mathowsou bounced from his position. It is a sub ject that is nonaiUzan ; and should np- pqal to the heart nnd humanity of every man , woman and jehtld in the state of Nebraska , and tlio * agitation of this sub ject should not bo dropped until a thorough renovation of that institution Is made. M. "A SOUTHERN ZOUAVE. " One of tlio Miltij- Delusion * Dlipcllcil by the Iiftto ItelielHon. Atlanta Conslitntion : When the war broke out the mrtsses of the people on both sides of the -Potomac knew very lit tle about each other. They did not travel , mix und mingle. The stay-at- home southerner took a partisan and sec tional view ot tli6 north ; and the stay-nt- home northerner tool ; a sectional view of the south Wo believed that the typical northerner was tall , hatchet-faced , blue-eyed and light-haired. U took a long time to con vince us that the north was mainly nuulo ol brunettes , while the south was the homo { for the blondes. When the Louisiana Tiger Houaye * cnmo through here , after the lirst year of the war , they were critically examined. One of the clti/.ens picked out a chunky , swarthy , black-haired y.oliavo , and re marked to tlie crowd : "There Is a specimen of the pure southern type. There is no mistaking it anywhere. Such u man could not be born under the northern skies. Ho is either a Creole of Louisiana , a Spaniard , Frenchman or a Greek , 1 will settle the iiiatir-r right , now. " Walking up to Iho soWnr he opened a conversation with him , nnd ifnniiy ask'.uL him to name the state of his birth.

" The disappointed citizen could not re sist the temptation to lire a parting shot. " Perhaps , " said ho , "you did not much care which Hag you fought under ? " "Well ?

Twenty-nine years ago , when lots were selling so cheaply in Omaha , but lew people outside1 of'Illinois ' remembered anything about Abraham Lincoln , exla cept that he had been a.member of eonto gross some .years 'before.

And yet , since that time , Lincoln became one of the grandest figures in the world's his tory , whoso name will go down to all time. !

MINDING THE MILLIONS , How Now York Detectives Guard" Wall Street's Treasures- Tlie Stoncy Center n District Tnliooed To Professional Tlilovcs The Tlio Crooks Must Ask For Totluo Uscort There. Now Vork Sun : A moderately stout , middle-aged man with , closely-cropped small whiskers , ' go'd-rimmetl eye-glares ami sedutoly-respcelablc raiment , entered the oflleo of the detective bureau at police headquarters one recent afternoon , and said to Inspector Byrnes : "I want to go down on Nassau street , near Pine , to morrow , to ce my lawyer. " He did not say it in a confidential way , for it was heard by a reporter talking with the inspector a moment before and still standing near. And he looked like the sort of pecuuious old fellow who might want to see n lawyer about some real estate transaction , or perhaps the making of his will. H would not have been surprising if the inspector specter , aside from his characteristic courtesy , had replied with some mild Paraphrase of the ivpnnsuof the Bowery b'hoy to Thtickery's expressed , vish to go go to Broadway " \VeII , why the don t you go ?

The applicant returned Ids thanks politely and went out. Inspector Byrnes resumed the interrupted thread of his conversa tion. Neither of them seemed lo see nnv- thing novel in the situation. But the reporter did , ami asked an explanation , "Well , " replied the inspector , "that man used to be a first-class bank sneak thief , operating on Wall street , and al though ho claims to have reformed , and done nothing crooked for several years , I don't ' trust him. Men who are known as thieves , or as having been thieves , are not allowed to go into the Wall street dis trict unaccompanied by an olllcer. It would bo dangerous for them even to go below Fulton street , for if recognized they would bo liable to arrest on suspi cion. . Consequently , when they have any real , legitimate business down there , they comojiere , report it to me , and I assign tiii ol'iccr ' to accompany them into the district ami see them safely out ot it again. They submit without'a kick , of course What else could they dor" "How long has that preventive policy been in voguov" "Kver since the lirst week in which I took charge of this bureau , When 1 as sumed control , ono of the early things 1 did was to send for all the forgers.sncaks and crooks generally that used to fre quent Wo.il street , and lay down the now law to thorn , that they must not go down to the Wall utroet district any more ex cept by my permission and under the eye of ono of my men. They knew that 1 meant what I said , and have since kept very clear of any incursions upon tlio ta booed grounds , " Prior to the placing- the detective bu reau under charge ot Inspector Byrnes , ingenious sneak thefts and successful for geries were by no means infrequent , and occasionally the sums lost were exceed ingly large. Hero are some at least of the large losses by these means in the Wall street district since the war and prior to 18SO , when a now man came along to whom old occasions taught new duties. 1800 A tin cox containing 8208,000 was taken from the safe of the Jioyal insurance company.

There are but a few of the most mem orable cases in the years specified. Thuro are only eleven of them , yet llio 811045 lost by them aggregate much over fri.OUO.OOO. TJilO money-handling district of the city was the regular business haunt of organ ized gangs of the most adroit , ingenious and bold thieves in the country. .Not- withstanding the much greater induce ments offered there for the congregating of thieves , there was no more police pro tection accorded there than elsewhere. Various private detective agencies made some show of usefulness , but did not amount to enough practically to make tlio thieves at all Unhappy. Among the little army of professional depredators then operating in and about Wall street the leaders were as follows : Bank Sneaks Dutch Heliirlchs , Clmuneoy Johnson , Johnny Joiirdan , Georjjo Cawsnn , Itufe Miner , Hilly Burke , Jim Burns , Joe Pcttingill , Bill Vosbnnr , Joe Butts , Vernier- mint Joe , Horace Hiiran.

Some of them ply their nefarious vocations in Canada or Europe , a number are in state prisons , several have died and n few pro- less to have reformed. Those who btlll remain in New York and depend upon criminal pursuits for a livelihood take good care not to hunt their broad in the vicinity of Watt street. In the older time was the easy probability of largo hauls of plunder that afforded the cohesive force of keeping together organized bunds , or gangs , of the most expert knaves , in the country for the realization of hold , ingenious and novel schemes of robbery hero , but that probability being changed lo un impossibility , the gangs quickly fell apart nnd their members scattered. The now order of things was instituted on | March 13 , 1880 , That was the day upon which Inspector Dyrnes was put at the head of the detective force of the city's police. The first thing ho did , hav ing obtained that authority , was to go down to Wall street and hire an oflleo to bo a headquarters tor such portion of his force as ho might assign for protection capitalistic interests there during busi ness hours. The governing committee of the stock exchange assigned n room in the exchange building for the use of the detectives. There , trom 0bO ; a. in. until 4:80 : p. m. , every business day sits one of the detectives to do clerical work and bo ready to cnd out in response to telephone calls the two men to who are kept there on duty with him for fiich emergencies. Meanwhile , eight other members oi the force are on the street , patrolling certain established beats in the district with the utmost ex lo actitude , so that the whereabouts of each them is knotvn at every minute of the day. The telephone connection with the oflleo enables any banker , broker or other business man in the district having ocua- sion for their services to summon the de tectives at once , and tlio man will reach the caller's place generally In one min ute , and.never moro than thrco , any ' where b'etwcen Uodar street and the Pro duce exchange , Broadway and the Knst river. It needs n few words , to set forth the vast superiority of a , vstem like this OUT the service , beloro Inspector Byrnes took hold , when there was no place nearer than police headquarters where n detec- ti\e could be obtained , however pressing might be" the immediate necessity for the presence of one , and when , though two or three ollieers were wandering aim- h'ily about the Wall street district , nobody - body liot oven their superiors knew dn- linitely where f < > iind them except by special appointment. In addition to ( ho system described , there arc special arrangements for in suring the safety ot the millions of dollars worth of securities ami money that are daily drawn from and replaced In the. Mifo depo-lt vault * under the Stock Exchange , by bankers and brokers in the vicinity. The boxes containing this valuable portable property are taken out when business hours begin and put back when they end , under such conditions of protection ns would seem to render Impossible the tllchiiig of tiny of them , even could'the boldest ami mo'st skill ful of the old-time thieves venture within the boundaries set by the inspector for their exclusion. It is not. however , deemed best to particular/ ! ! ) what those conditions are. Anybody who has an uucoiitrollnble curiosity about them can , by trying to get at the treasures , be very certain ( it learning some of tlioiu quite promptly.

WOMAN ON THE TRICYCLE , n Tlio IS.xcrolao Declared to Ho Pre eminently Safe and RMillnratiiif ; . A Hartford woman writes to the Conraut regarding tricycling , and gives her emphatic indorsement of it as fol lows : Hearing ot the remark of a gouty old doctor whoso .specialty naturally leads him to think all women are the frail disorganized creatures he attends , that tricycling would make his business good , 1 wish to say that many physicians not only approve of the wheels for healthy women , but recommend their use to patients who are not nbluOto walk to any extent. To this let mo add personal testimony that exorcise on the tricycle in pre-eminently safe and ex hilarating , giving the best of exorcise to the walking muscles while the body is supported ny the saddle. Kxperienco , without which no ono should give an opinion , shows that the muscles most severely tested are those ot the calf and the upper part of the leg ( I do not know the hcientilic names , nor do I wish to , believing that HiB less we concern our selves with the physiological peculiari ties and wofnl possibilities of the human frame the healthier nnd happier we are ) , and that the stomach and lungs are ex naiidod and invigorated very percepti bly , wlnlu the blood goes bounding and tinglinglo every nerve nnd muscle in the body.

A Vermont Hrldogroom. Boston Record : Tlio story about the Vermonter who proposed to add half a dollar to the amount which the law al lowed the parson for marrying him , has story ot onbinor frcddTifgfiuo frTffWe.iiori in Vermont.

" "Have you got any money at all ? " "Not a mite , parson. " There was a period of uncomfortable fitlime.o , during which the young farmer began to grow very much alarmed. Ho was afraid the parson wouldn't marry Ur him unless ho produced his uttermost ounce of bees-wax , and the prospect struck terror to his soul. The parson was inclined to let him "stew.
