Nothing short of annexation will ( ill the bill as long as "timo looks" and night trains prevent investigation and discovery until it is everlastingly too late. Mil. HALSTUAU will now take the stand and answer to a charge of subornation of perjury. There are several people , in cluding General Logan , who will listen with great interest to what the flolil mar shal of the Commercial Qazcttc shall say on this subject. Mr , Halstead will please proceed with his statement. Irj. faros the colored citizen who casts ' Ills political fortunes with the democracy. 'That party will cheerfully accept his vote , but it has no rewards to oll'or him. Mntthowe , the colored lawyer of Albany , who wasn't confirmed for register of deeds of the District of Columbia , will doubtless concur without reservation in this view , NA-rrni : is a great qmTll/ser. Hero comes the town of Urooklngs , Dakota , which for years has boon advertising the dearth of women in Dakota , with the an- nounocmont that every birth in that com- annuity for sovoraljvooks past has been a girl. K the rest of the territory docs as well Dakota will soon bo in a fair way to supply the west with a crop of wives as heavy as her annual crop of wheat. LIVK stock shipments from the stock , \ards are complicating matters in the Iowa pool and clouds are gathering in the aky which was recently cleared for a long spell of harmony , The trouble , of course , lies in the adrautage possessed by the Uurllngton and Northwestern lines In having through connections with Chicago from the interior of the state , Which enables thorn to ship by way of South Omaha to Chicago with privilege of two markets at a through rats , At the same time both roads insist that the Rook Island and St. Paul shall maintain full local tariff and the natural consequence is that the latter lines are falling behind in the moo for trafllo. It looks as if there will have to bo a readjustment somewhere or tinothor lively war for buMnoss. In the interval , if nil the railroads would mnko SiToductlon in live stnck rates from the yards cast a long felt want would bo met. Tfco rate Irom South Omaha to Chicago issaid to bo nearly 83 per cent higher thhn that from the Kansas City yards , Tboro is no good reason why our stock * men should not have tus low a rate as the ooinpftinjj Missouri river point. Shall American Citizens Bo Pro tected 7 The warlike feeling in Texas , which Is not simply an ebullition of popular frenzy , but lias taken possession of the authorities , ns shown by the dispatch of Governor Ireland to Mr. Hajard , will of course not bo permitted to develop into overt acts of hostility against thf Mexi cans. The federal government will not allow the people ot Texas to proceed so far as * o Fcnou ly endanger the peace of the two countries. lint in order to avert this , prompt action on the part of the government Is demanded which will assure the people of Texas and tlio coun try that theio is a determination to exact from Mexico just reparation for wrongs already committed against American citizens , and ample provision against a repetition of similar abuses and out- raires. There is a principle involved In thh matter of far-reaching application , nll'ect- ing the question at largo of whether the government is really disposed to protect its citizens i whether , indeed , citizenship carries with it that certain guarantee of protection against injustice and per secution in other Innds which it is pro mised and assumed to do , It is a fact confessed Hint the government has hith erto been so lax and indifferent witn re spect to this matter , in a number of ag gravated instances , that popular faith in the security atl'ordod by American citizen ship has been very greatly weakened. For a number of yearn the government has manifested less solicitude in this matter - tor than it did nt an earlier period of its existence , when it was not so well able ns now to enforce its demands. The ( ill'ect of this is that in somu countries , not ably in some of the South American states , the claim of being an American citizen car ries no weight whatever , and the official representatives of the government are ridiculed and insulted when they demand jusuec for a citizen of the United States who has fallen under the ban of the author ities of these countries , whether national or municipal. It 1s a humiliating truth that in some countries the title American is a reproach , and our citizens living or sojourning there continually hear their country reterrcd. to contemptuously and invidious comparisons made with other nations to our disadvantage. The prevalence of this feeling is in a largos measure duo to the "puerile policy of the state department , which seems lo have become completely encrusted with the worst form of diplomatic fogyism. The toleration of outrages upon Amer ican citizens by the Mexican authorities is the least excusable because of tlio greater opportunities that exist for prac ticing them and the readiness and ease with which remedies can bo applied and redress obtained , The American resi dents along the Mexican frontier are in constant peril from the irresponsible au thorities of that country , who eagerly ac cept any charge brought against an American , and the knowledge of this 6E htto induce the government to insist upon a system Cf criminal procedure that will insure justice , while It Is in a posi tion to immediately exercise the power to enforce justice. The determination to do this being once firmly shown would doubtless be sufficient to stop further out rages , at least for a long time , The gov ernment is now offefcd n most favorable opportunity to jiibtify the claim that lo bo an Amdrlcnn citizen is a safeguard against wrong and injustice in nil lands. After Duo Kiifiilry. ] Settlers and land claimants who have been shaking in their boots for fear that their entries would bo cancelled by Com missioner Sparks without affording them n hearing can rest easy. Secretary Lamar - mar has ruled that in every instance where fraud is alleged the entry shall bo only held for cancellation and the claim ant notified and allowed sixty days in which to apply for a hearing before the register and receiver. "If at the expira tion of such time , " writes the secretary , "the claimant fails to apply for a hearing to show cause , the entry should then bo cancelled by the action of your oflicc. But if , in response to snch notice , the claimant oilers t * > show cause why the en try should bo sustained , a hearing should bo ordered at which the government should ofter proof to sustain the allega tion that the entry is Illegal or fraudulent before the ontryman shall bo required to present his defense , such hoa-ing is a pro ceeding tic novo , at which the register and receiver should not consider the ex parte festimony contained in the agent's report , but in all such cases when the entry has been regularly made and final cortilicato issued the burden of proof is on the gov ernment , and it will bo required to estab lish the truth of the charge at the time of the hearing by the examination of the special agent , or such other witnesses as may bo produced , so that the ontryman may have the opportunity of cross-exami nation usually allowed by law. " These directions of Secretary Lamar should promptly allay the pnln from which the investigated ontrymen are suf fering. They are to bo afforded every opportunity for proving the good faith of their entries and the sufllcionoy of the final proof. But it is safe to say that hundreds will never face the facts. Kighteon hundred entries have already been relinquished this year to the gov ernment in a single land district in Ne braska. Four-fifths of the ontrymon cited to meet the charges of the special agents have declined to put in an appearance and contest cancellation. Secictary Lamar'b order takes away the loj > t refuge of the howlers against the present administration of the land offlco. The national domain will continue to bo protected in spite of the attacks made by the cattle kings and land grabbing syndicates who mask the real nature of the assault by assuming the name of honest settlers and poor homesteaders , Honest settlers who have complied with the law have no grievance against the land oflicc. I'rimiotlnjj Iiulubtrics. There have never been so many in quiries for sites for industrial enterprises in Omaha as there have been lately , Many letters requesting information about the prospects for this or that fnc- tory , null or s > hop are steadily coming in. One day it is a paper mill , another an iron works , on a third information la asked about the chances for wheat mill , ing , while a score of minor enterpriser seeking local promotion and assistance tail the procession. This is one of the most encouraging features of our present remarkable de velopment and its importance cannot be lee Ktrongly urged upon our people , The whirr of industry moans the whirl of commercial activity. Every new mill and factory located Is another solid pier set In the foundation of Omaha's prosperity. As a general rule , it may bo said that Omaha by the location offers the best of inducements for manufacturing enter prise.Vo have the city and we have the trade territory back of it. Abundant water and reasonably cheap fuel are here. Land for sites can be secured nt low figures for parties who moan business and require this premium for changing their locations. Thcro is no reluctance on the part of home capital to assist any enterprise , which will bear a business man's investi gation. Stock in plants which promises paying returns will not go begging in Oinahn. This much is said In reply to several complaints that Omaha shows no inclin ation to invest In such enterprises. This complaint comes principally from men whose enterprises have been of a char acter that no business man would care to risk his money in promoting simply to pay salaries to their olllcors. Trot out your first-class industrial horses and there will bo plenty of Omaha funds ready to back them. The Hankers' Convention. The annual convention of the Ameri can Bankers' Association will be held in Boston on the llth and 12th of this month , The day bcforo the assembling of the convention the executive council will meet to arrange the order of business and complete the programme to bo observed by the convention. Every banking linn , state bank , national bank , trtibt company , and .savings bank in the United States is expected to send one del egate. A very largo proportion of the 8.UOO banks of the country will not , however , bo represented by their own delegates , and the views and wishes of Mich institutions will bo presented to the convention by the vice presidents of that body apportioned ono to caah state. The conventions of the association arc important as contributing trustworthy information regarding the opinions , desires - sires and demands of the moneyed corporations which control the financial affairs of the people , and to some extent also those of tlie gavcrumeut. It is a tremendous power that is 1'cpresentod ' in this association a power respecting which there has been u great deal ot popular distrust , and which should never be permitted to pass out of the so licitous attention of the people , Confi dence in the soundness of the principle upon which the national bankingjjystcm is founded docs not require that there shall be an abandonment of vigilance on the part of the people , for no principle is so excellent that it may not bo abused. It cannot bo fairly questioned that much of what is best and most conservative in the banking system at thistimu is largely duo to the popular distrust of the system in the past , which would only be placated by concessions thai iiuf-CSmLrestrictlons upon this vast power. While ft ma/u"ol be necessary to maintain this feeling , it is clearly expedient to give constant at tention to the course and the policy of this power , held together by a common interest , and with which the opportuni ties for evil ns well as for good are so many and widespread. The forthcoming convention will have as leading topics of consideration bank ing reform , the silver problem in its new international as pects , and the defects of our extradition treaties with respect to crimes regarding which the banking in terests arc. especially concerned. The question of the extension of the national banking system in the southern states , where for Various reasons it has made less progress than in other sections of the country , will be ono of the chief mat ters of consideration. In connection with this the needs of the south for capi tal for diversified industries and for well- directed emigration will bo discussed , and the rapid development in some states of manufacturing enterprises will be considered. The silver problem has assumed still greater interest since the last convention , when an effort was made to place the controversy on new grounds and to discuss it from its fiscal side , and it will doubtless again command n largo shargo of the attention of the convention. There Is ample opportunity and scope for a fresh review of this perplexing problem , of which the promise of u satis factory solution appears no moro favor able now than at any period of the past. A few days ago Mr. Evarts introduced in the senate a resolu tion looking to an effort to secure an international conference upon this subject , but the results of MMnnton Marble's inquiries among European fin anciers last year and other circumstances do not encourage n hope that any effort to bring about another international con sideration of the silver problem will bo successful , or that if such consideration was had it would result in a satisfactory solution. Still , the matter is ono which the bankers of the country cannot choose but give attention to , hownyor little their views may contribute to its settlement. SIeve Slowly , The city council should move very slowly in granting any moro rights of way to railroad companies through the streets of Omaha. They should bo espec ially slow in giving the right to lay track on paved streets , Nothing but ur gent necessity ought to excuse such a concession. The Union Pacific has applied for right of way through Jones street between Ninth and Tenth. This street has just been paved at a heavy expense to prop- crty owners. Tno costly improvement made will bo practically destroyed if trackage is permitted , while damage will bo done to adjoining property and to the entire street. The best of reasons for askingsuch a concession ought to bo of fered and their weight caretully balanced as against tno public Interests bcforo the rpqucst is granted , \Ve must draw the line somowhera in these grants to railroad companies. Of course when property is so high us it is in Onmhn right of way through n street is far cheaper to the companies than through private property , and It Is gen erally easier to got. But public streets are no place for switching grounds for the railroads. Thcro is plenty of room , on the bottoms , and the roads should bo made to take it up The city council has no right to alienate anj' of the city property from city use , or to grnf\ right of way in public thoroughfares - fares unkX it is clearly in the interests of the public to do so. A bwitch to a warehouse , or raill.orstore , located of the track , is a convenience It is true , but the general public 'can1 get along very well without it , esp'eVln.jly if such con venience tn the company nmans general Inconvenience and financial damage to a large number of our-vittzons. It Concern ! ) 1'lirlr I''ninc. Amid the plaintive appeals of penuri ous Now \ orkcrs to congress for assist ance in building the ( Jrant monument , it Is gratifying to note tlio manly tone which the Coinmcrriai Attetrliscr of that city maintains in its comments on the duty of Manhattan to mind its own busi ness and erect its own tombstones. That paper hns been reading the Uothnmitcs several severe lessons about monument building , and has laid open with a sur geon's scalpel the miserable stinginess of the great metropolis , "After all , " writes its editor , "it is not the fame of General Grant that is concerned , but that of Now York. Ills name is more endur ing than bronze. It is for us to take care of our own. " Those are words which the Grant mon ument committee ought to wrtto on tab lets of brass and hang up in their moot ing room. They should decorate the sub scription papers and letter heads and adorn the boxes in which the poor are asked to drop their pennies. I'crhaps n general study of the sentiment might oven awaken ionic feeling of local pride in the breasts ot the millionaires who wear down the i > avcnn > nts of Wall street and Fifth avenue with their coupes and landaus. When the Burtholdi statue was on Us way to our shores , the free gift of a friendly nation , the people of the whole country , roused to the indecent niggard liness of Now York in failing to provide t a pedestal promptly , put their hands in their pockets and rolled in subscriptions sufficient to give it a fitting resting place. A western editor who had galvanized into life a dead New Tork journal ledtlio movement to success. Manhattan island has been honored with the lust resting of General Grant. Let it appropriately mark it. EvEitvosn is clamoring for un increase of the police force , but practical sugges tions as to where the funds to increase tliu number of patrolmen arc to conip from , are as scarce as hen's ' teeth. Ifowfs for moro patrolmen to protect capital come with very poor grace from capital ists , whose outrageous tat shirking is chiefly responsible for the ridiculously low valuation on which Omaha bases her levy. There is no denying the fact that if our police force were doubled , it would still bo too small to covertho , largo area of ground which comprises the city of Omaha. But until wo get n fair assess ment of property , it can never be materi ally increased over its''present numbers. This is ono of the important results of our present system aijd methods of prop erty assessment. , j THE wooden siduwallt abomination muat be suppressed hi the business portion tion of Omaha. Property owners who insist on maintaining plank walks in front of handsome brick fronts must be brought to time by ( irilinatices ordering them to to ) replaced.by stqnc or concrotot llnconns hot promises will be the issue in the coming campaign.

Ilaor L > roii hl in Iowa. CMcaga Tribune. The prolonged dry weather in Iowa causes considerable complaint amen , the farmers and appears to bo nflecling the public health seriously. The mortal ) i reports for that sttito are no higher thai ordinary.and neither the boards of hcultl nor the local physicians make mentloi of any unusual sickness ; but still the ofllclal record of liquor sales by druggists shows a veritable epidemic of maladies requiring alcoholic treatment. KM instance , in a place of O.OOO . In hnbita"ts a druggist doing an ordinary business reports eight } four liquor uriiserlptions filled in onoday , and in a county which contains no Inrgt town , nearly 5,000 pints of liquors wore required during lite month ot June for the "actual necessities of medicine.1 The cxtaordinary need for alcoholic medication in Iowa may bo owing to the prolonged drought or to the prohibitory law , or perhaps to the combined lulluenco of both these potent causes. The condition of the public health in Iowa discloses several singular facts The spread of diseases requiring alcoholic stimulation is { 'ctuiral in the sinnllci towns where tlie buloons have been rlosod , but in the larger place * where the untaxcd groggeries are still open the de iL'and ' for- liquor prescriptions is little greater than ordinary. The inerraseil need of liquor for "the actual necessities ot medicine , " sprung up immediately after the adoption of the prohibitory law , and while the method of treatment then adopted scums highly popular its success cannot bo icgarded as established. Few permanent cures are cHeelcd nnd the patients appear to linger from year lo year in about the same condition. Beer is the favorite medicine , and it is administered not only for dyspepsia and general Ian- U9r. but for rheumatism , dimness of vision , RJUi still' joints. This method of treatment caR hardly be esteemed scjcntl- lie , but then in iwTi" every man is his own doctor , and under a liberal ruling of the supreme court can make his O'.vn diagnosis and prescribe for himself. Even under the radical prohibitory legislation of that state every citlxon retains unim paired the sacred right of dosing himself , and the liquor reports show the enthus iasm with which the privilege is cxcr- cisi-d. The Charges AK.iiiiRt Kllcy. _ The police committee of the city coun cil were engaged yesterday afternoon in investigating the charges made against OHicer Kiley by Ed. Maurcr. Th ? evi dence produced was to the cllect that Muurcr was sitting or. a cioor-stci ) on Cuniing street asleep when Ofiiccr Kiley woke him up and asked him what he was doing there. Mauror replied that it was none of the policeman's blanked busi ness and finally became abusive nnd was locked up by Kiloy. The charges of rough Ustulgo nnd malicldus prosecution preferred by Mauror were not sustained , nnd the committee will report the cnso to the council In Itiley'sjiivor. Personal Paragraphs.
