Jf it were a dead democrat instead of a dead chief magistrate from the ranks of the rcnnblican party , the thoroughly nonpartisan - partisan bourbon who presides in the government building In this city would not delay an hour lu hoisting a Hag upon thn building. When Samuel J. Tlltlon , who never was president , died , nnd when Thomas A. llcndricks , who ns vice presi dent died , Postmaster Walkins had the Hag up blight and early ; but whim Gen eral Arthur , OHO of twenty-two men who in tills nation have risen to the highest rank , dies crowned with these honors , thu bourbon spirit , bourbon in death , mani fests Hsulf in a. spirit so zealously parti- mn that U makes the people of Lincoln : isliamcd of themselves , "Such hide bound evidences of hour- bonisni , " remarked a stranger as ho listened to a criticising group , "Is .just what Is opening the eyes of the people to the instincts of the men a democratic parly Is placing in power , " nnd the stranger volunteered the belief on the spot it it had been Jed' Davis instead of ox-President Arthur that there would have been any amount of sympathy emanating from the building. There tire : i great many citizens of Lincoln who are justly indignant at the calibre of patriotism Postmaster Watkins illus trates , mid all the more uoticablu are the stars at half mast over the state hoimo because of their absence on the govern ment building.

The state otiiccrs are busily at work in preparing their biennial reports which will bu prepared ready for the scrutiny of the coming legislature. The report of the commissioner of public lands and buildings will show that a lively two years' business lias been transacted in thai , department , and it will be very cred itable both to Commissioner Scott and his assistants. A member ol the state live slock com mission reports that there still awaits tliolr action a number of complaints in different pans of the stale and they are moving upon them as rapidly as possible , Their nrst case in court over the con demning and killingof stock has reached a decision and been decided in their favor. The case was in Judge Post's dis trict and'from what is learned concern ing it the decision is one that ought to HtatrJ in order to insure any authority for the commission in their work. This par ticular member of the commission has expressed himself decidedly in favor of the legislature passing a law reimburs ing owncrH of stock with contagions dis eases at kast oun half their original value. In this way he holds there would bu no hiding away of diseased stock to escape inspection and thu commission could much more easily clear infectious discuses from thu Mate. IN WSriilCT COUKT. The trial of Colbeck anil Croft , the parties arrested by the H. & M , for forg ing passes , was concluded yesterday at noon , Iho jury returning a verdict of ac quittal , which undoubtedly was Home- thing of u surprise to the parties who brought thu suit if not to the prisoners themselves. To mimmarizo , this is thu case where thn two parties obtained em ployes' passes to go at construction work for the company and then they boarded , u west-bound train on route for Denver. Frank Granger , one of thu company's most watchful conductors , found the passes reading to a far away ( le.'timitioii and he promptly had them arrested at Crete , telegraphed the olll- clals who had them brought to this placu where they have boon held for the pres ent trial. Yesterday afternoon the court was bus ily at work procuring a jury to hear 0110 of thu law and order cases , thu one in which Mr. Shrudor , the cast O street drug- g'st ' , is charged with suiting liquor with out thu iiroper license. It is thought that this will bu the la t of thu class of cases to bu heard the present term , and it is probable that jury work will ci-aso after the notorious Dr. Reynolds has his hear ing , as he is now iu Jail and anxious for trial. Dr. Reynolds' last break was to rent a room iu n rcsprctnblo house , and passing it on" that thn woman ho took to live with him tlniro washlswifo. Instead , Jiowuvm' , the woman was a girl from Ha.stiiigs ; and thu trial is for adultery , under which charge ho was arrested and incarcerated. NOT fjtiu.TV. Tho3-nnng man named Sautno , who was arrested some two weeks ago for attempt ing to pass a ( riilviiniml cent piece for a ten dollar cold coin at thu bagnio of Mollie Hall , has ha i his trial iu the dis- triet court and tnojiiryiii tliucaso broiurht in u verdict of acquittal.

An elderly man named Hunt , living in South Lincoln , fell Thursday evening at a placu on the sidewalk where un in diistrimiH citi/en had excavated thu snow to thu bottom , The fall was about four foot , but it wrenched the pedestrian BO much that a hack was railed to convey him to his home. Yesterday tlu lirst viirorons efforts were inaugurated to clear thu street car lines for travel uud ut noon the capital city line was running cars from its barns clown as far as Kluvonth street , and the O .strout linn mis opened its entire length.

Thursday the Pee ple's theatre reopened its djors and a crowded house witnessed "Monte Cristo , " Governor Dawos and ex-Governor 2anco occupying reserved peats.

FAMILY TKOUItr.KS. In the early hours of yesterday morn ing Marshal Hcach was roused from slumber to intercede for u man named Morris who was Incarcerated in the city jail for an assault committed on the wife of one of his sous. When another son found out the news of the arrest ho Be- curcd'thi ) marshal nnd iceiled that his father ought not to lie made to lay in jail and that lie considered the arrest unjusti fiable. As no complaint had as yet been lodged against the elder Morris the mar shal settled the ] matter with u release Irom custody. . A SM.Vl.l , r.XIM.OSION . The large stove in the corridor of the city jail was tilled with line coal and the inmates of the reformatory institution were sleeping the sleep of the unjust. The jailer himself was sleeping in a room ii ) ) stairs and when the gas had gener ated in sullieiont amount it exploded with a crash that made the jailer think the prisoners were using dynamite , and maife the piisoiiers think that deathly cremation was In store for them. The stove tind pipe were blown to pieeei and only prompt action saved what might have been serious results. AT Til K HUTI'.LS. Yesterday wuro registered among others the following Kebraskans : O.

Pall Mall Gazette : Tea , coffee and cocoa are articles of common consump lion , but the use of tobacco is , with some immaterial exceptions , limited to one sex. For this reason we find the consumption per head of the population , published in the annual reports of her majesty's com missioners ot inland revenue , interesting enough in relation to fireside beverages , but not ( mill ! t-o valuable when applied as a gauge to the consumption of the weed Iragrant or otherwise , it is of little consequence to learn that twenty-three ounces per head represent the consump tion of tobacco in Hie United Kingdom when wo remember that a great proportion tion ol "the heads' ' belong lo housewives who drive their spouses into the back garden to smoke their post-prandial pipe , and to ciphers of humanity more familiar with the tube of a feeding bottle than that of a hookah. Yet by means of the figures at our disposal _ wo have ample data en abling us to arrive at a near approximate to the aggregate number ot the inhabit ants of ttiese islands belonging to the brotherhood ot the pipe. The male population of the United Kingdom exceeding lifteon years of ago was , in round numbers , 10,250,00 on the date of the last enumeration. From in formation received for the purpose of the present article we feel jnstilied in staling that one-half thn indoor commercial classes , clerks , shopmen , etc. , may bo do- Bcripud as regular smokers. Among the artisan classes , farm laborers , and all those who are at liberty to smoke during working hours , the proportion of smok ers must be considerably larger , so that it may bo assumed that 00 per cent of the male population exceeding fifteen years of ago have acquired the habil. On this basis we find the number of smokers to bo about 0,150,000 , and the average capitation consumption of tobaeco'aliout eight pounds three ounces. This is hardly an extravagant ligurc.as it is only equiva lent to two and u half ounces per week per smoker. In money value it repre sents an mdlvidlal expenditure of , say , 3 guneas per annum , or a gross sum of 12,01,00. ; Oddly enough this amount is one-half of received railway just - that by the way companies for the conveyance of all classes of passengers during the year 18S1. Two other pecularities inay hero bu mentioned iu connection with the con- Hiimplion of tobacco namely , that half a gallon of spirits and something more than half a barrel of buer was consumed for each pound of tobacco cleared by the excise authorities. While the yearly consumption of to bacco has increased from SU.OOO.OOO to tUl.OOO.OOO of pounds since 18)1 ) , the Uni ted Kingdom is still a long way behind olh'jr countries , except Italy , in the lisa of it. In lielglum ana Holland the aver age per head of the total population is as high as 84 ounces ; in Switzerland , 82 ; Austria , 80 ; Germany , 72 ; United States , ( > ! l ; and HO on. Russia approximating most nearly with 21 ounces , while Italy consumes 23 ounces. We can hardly ex pect any material abatement in our to bacco duties , but there is every reason to believe that a large reduction therein would bo followed by a very consideiablo increase in the demand for tobacco , and a larger Hold would be opened up for to bacco manufacturers and retail dealers. For the financial year ending Ulst of March last , there were 501 manufactur ers and VOO.Oii'J retail deajors who took out licenses from the- excise authorities. As a large number of dealers in tobacco hold beur and spirit licenses it is to be presumed that the peculiarity of the trade explains the discrepancy between thu excise and census returns. In the latter the number of persons working and dealing iu pipes and tobacco , ( Ku < r- land and Wales ) 7 is set down at 22,175 , including U'J Germans , 23 l'oh'815 RtiS' sians , ami lesser numbers of Danes , Nor wngiaiiH , Swedes , Austrians , Hungarians and Swiss.

IJtig.inda letter in the Now York Herald : To-day there is the direst ne cessity for holding out a helping hand to thu natives of the interior , crushed as they arc under the most grinding tyranny , and writhing under the crudest seouriio with which the race of man can bu aflllctud. Famine , with its fearful death and pestilence , with its sudden horror , appallinc though they bo , aru ut least meted out with a merciful hand ; but the native tyrant and Arab slaver know nothing of mercy , and nro as dead to pity as to shame. Well may these poor Africans echo the words of 0110 of old who found hlmsell in a so'-o strait. "Let me not fall into thu hand of man. " It Is with the desire of bringing before the American people some facts w th regard to at least O'io portion of interior of Africa that this is wriltnn ; and the cir cumstance that it is written in thovieinity of thu scone io vividly described by Stan ley in his account of King Mtesa and Uganda may possibly help to lend il some additional inti.rest. The establish ment of a mission by the Enirlish Church Missionary Society in Uiritmtn , or I'uiranda , as the country is called bv Ihu iu habitants , has contributed toward re vealing something of the attitude which the native chiefs may at any time assume with reference to white visitors and the innovations introduced by them. ISoloro going further it may bo well to giyo a short extract from the Church Mjsaionary socic-ty's oflluial account of the mission established in Hngauda. Il is as follows : "lu November , 1870. in consequence quence of information soul home by the traveler Stanlov of the readiness of Mtcsa , king of Uganda , a great poten tate on the shores of one of the largest African lakes , the Victoria Nyanza , to receive Christian teachers , and of two anonymous donations of iirOJ each be ing oilurod to send a missionary expedi tion lo his dominions , Iho society re solved , in dependence upon God , to or- gani'/.u such a mission. A well-equipped party proceeded accordingly to Kast Africa in thu spring of 1877 , and several other parties have followed , one of which in 1879 wont via the Nile , undur thu aus pices of Colonel Gordon , thuu governor of the Egyptian Soudan. The lirst leader , Lieutenant G. Shurgold Smith. R. N. , and Mr. T. O'Neill were killed on the Island of Ukerowe ; others have tiled or have been invalided home , but the mis sion has maintained its position in Uganda ever since ils cordial reception by Mtusa in July , 1877. " The gentle Mtosa when he had grown tired of Ins new visitors left them very short of food ; but in Africa starvation may bo classed among the minor ill * of existence. On the death of Mtesa in 183-t ho was succeeded by one of his younger sous named Mwanga.who soon began to show signs of pos.-os.sing a very different spirit from his father. Mwanga , while still a prince , was a frequent visitor at the Kn < r- lisli Roman Catholic mission and also at the French Roman Catholic mission , which had been established in 1370. He was accustomed to sav that if ho should ever become king that iio xvuuld do j rcat tilings for iho missionaries. It will bu seen how hu kept his promise. After he had been chosen king ho at ilrst showed tome inclination to reject idolatry and the native charms , and one of his head pages , a Christian , told with great satis faction how the king had caused a sorcerer cerer or medicine man to be pushed about nnd beaten ( the tragic fate of this poor page will bo told later on ) . It was however , with much misgiving that the missionaries heard of thu incident of Ihc medicine man. For if the king set so light by the religion of his own country what favor would he show to the religion of strangers , which opposed itself lo his most cherished vices ? Moreover the chiefs of the country had the rooted idea , assiduously fostered by Arab tradersUnit the object of the missionaries waste to seize the country , and the doctrine - trine of ttio common fatherhood of God ami the brotherhood of man could not fail to bo most distasteful to the arch slave-hunters nnd slave-holders of Kast Equatorial Africa. The growing suspicion and discontent at last broke out into deeds of open violence , and in Jan uary , 188"j , on tlio trumped np charge that the missionaries wore bringing largo numbers of white men into thu country ind secreting them somewhere on the shores of the Nyanza , thu king scut an army to entrap thu missionaries us they wore going down to the mission boat. While on the way they were sei/.ed , dragged anil pushed about with great violence and marched a distance of ton. miles , strongly guarded , and then inso lently bidden to go their way. Some children belonging to the mission , who weru with ilium , were seized and carried off. The missionaries , utterly unpre pared for such treatment , made thu best of their way to the chief judge and plead ed their case , but , so far from getting any redress or justice , they heard him give orders thai the next morning they should bu sei/.ed , bound aud bundled out of the country , bag and baggage. The judge's decision was received with uproarious applause by an ill-conditioned mob , who forthwith seizing the unhappy missionaries hustled them out of the great man's presence , eagerly quarreling for the various articles of thuir dross. However , thu judge stint un executioner local ! oil the mob aud their victims were allowed to leave in safoty. On reaching the mission they immediately dispatched as large a pn-.sent as thu mission could ulford.somu JL'i)0 : ! ) or i'00storlingin vulno , by this means hoping to avert the cat astrophe which they dreaded and to so- euro thu release of the poor children who had been taken captive. The prcsonl was accepted , but the llttlo boys were not delivered up , and thn next day to the utter horror of tlio missionaries they received Iho dreadful lidings ( hat three of the prisoners weru to bu burned , ulivo. This awful iinmo was actually per petratedand the twoboysundugrown-iip man , who hud been seized on thu plea that hu was u Christian , wore burned to death iu a slow lire aftur haviutr tlnir hands hacked of ] ' . All thn while they worn cruelly mocked and taunted by the chief appointed to entry out Iho diabol ical H'litenec. The only crime laid to their i.-hargo was that they wore Christ ians. The murders worn doubtless com mitted to deter others from learning , but BO far from their giving this effect the work of th mission grow and increased in a remarkable manner The king , first of all , forbade the people to come near the mission , but gradually the restriction became a dead letter , and the mis-ion- arius , though cut to .tho heart by what had happened , hoped lo live down Ihu haired and suspicion they had incurred and to gain llui conlideneo of the rulers of the country. Hut with what result will presently ap pear , The kiruj , now uqtitig with ox- trpmu dissimulation , bo.oame apparently friendly , sent repeated presents of cattle to thu mission , and told his pages , of whom ho has a great number , that they might learn to read , These uugus aru muatly the sous of chiefs , and , us they grow up , bc-comcs chiefs in turn. The work new went on prosperously , many books and papers wm < frtr'y ' circulated , niv1. people of all conditions WI'TO Imp- ti/.ed. The king had extended his favor to the Frcnvh priests , for whom ho hail sent , and they also gathered n Consider able number of people about them. When the storm had blown over a little the king expressed a desire for more Knglish- men ami bade the missionaries write and ask their brethren to count , lie scut a special u.fssi'ngor to bring them , but the , expected brethren did not ut that period arrive. Subsequently Hl.shop Hannington , who had hecii appointed to superintend the church of Kngland in eastern equatorial Africa , wrote , expressing his intention ot visiting linuandu. The klinc was duly Informed of the fact and shown a photo graph of the bishop. He expressed him- Bulf wtill pleased , but later , on hrarlug that the bishop would probably arrive tit the cast , shore of the lake instead of the south , which was tlie more ordinary route , he began to snow signs of suspi cion. However , ho sent two messengers with the mission boat to go and report on t'io ' bishop , ami promised that if the report wore favorable ho would allow him to come on. This was after counsel was taken with the chiefs. In the meantime tin- bishop , having either arrived at the lake ami not found the boat , or else having changed his plan of reaching Ids destination by water , ar rived at the northeast boundary of Hu- irimdii toward the close of October , 18d"i. News of his arrival was brought to the king , as far as lias been ascertained , Sat urday the 21th. and Sunday morning was conveyed to the mission by some of the pages who had come down from the ser vice ami Sunday school. After a while another pane brought the terrible Intelli gence thal'tho king was about to scud iiH'.ssiMigi-rs to murder the bishop. The identity of the bishop was established be yond all doubt by thn boys stating that the stranger had lost a thumb , and tin- missionaries were aware that Bishop llannington had susl.iincil such a loss from n ( { tin accident , ( -hisses were at once given up and the elder Christians were called into the house and coi.usel taken. It was decided to dismiss those who had assembled and to tro at once to the king and toll him who the white stranger was. The distance from where the bishop had come takinc about three days to accom plish , they hoped that they should have time to get the king to alter his purpose. No time was lost , but the missionaries , on entering the king's iuclosuro , were met by two little pages , who whispered to them as they passed , "They have gone to kill them. " The kinLr , as they had feared , refused to see the mission aries , but sent out a chief to ask what they wanted. They toM him that they hail heard of the kinir's orders to kill the white man ; that he was their brother and a man of peace ; that he was thn Kiug'H friend ; and finally they emplorcd that if the kimr did not wish to receive him he would allow him to go back. They told him. moreover , that this was the very guest whom the kins himsnlf had invited. Hut till was in vain. They spout the whole of that day and the next in the misery of fruitless waitinir , know- iuir that every moment of time was in estimably precious , but the Iay declined , and when darkness fell , sick at heart , they returned home. The bloody deed was done. The bishop ami Ids wholn were brutally butchered in cold Curly loo'd. When will the average citizen stop spending his hard earnings on cigars and tobacco ?
