Xho Accountability Will Stick.
The revocation by I'rcildcnt Cleveland
of the order directing the return of the
confederate flags will not relieve him ol
thn accountability to the people for hla
original order. The disposition nnd
spirit that prompted his first action the
loyal people of the country will noithoi
forgot nor forgive. In rescinding tin
offensive order , after becoming aware o !
the storm of indignation it had raised
the president states that upon a more
careful consideration ho had found tha' '
the return of the ilag3 in the ruannc :
contemplated was not "authorized by tin
existing law nor justified as an oxccutivi
act. " Unless the second reason of tht
sentence can be construed as n con
cession none is made. The prosldcn
offers nothing by way of amend
or conciliation to the patriotic sen
tlmcnl of the country which ho had si
needlessly and gravely ottered , llavhif
discovered that his order was wlthou
authority of law and not a justifiable ox
ccutlvc act ho docs of necessity what hi
could not avoid doing in countermand
ing it. There is no acknowludgomen
beyond this , no expression of regret tha
a grave mistake had been thoughtless ! ;
made , no suggestion that did the author
ity exist ho would not have adhered tt
his first action , characterized by his secretary
rotary of state as the "bravest , wisest
and most patriotic move ever performoi
by the executive of a great people , " Th
matter In every respect shows that Mr
Cleveland was wholly indifferent to whn
eflect the proceeding he ordered might
have upon the sentiment of tno north
but seeing an opportunity to furthc
pander to the ruling sentiment of th
south accepted it without considerin ;
cither the question of authority or prc
pricty.
Thcro is absolutclv no defense of th
president in this matter , and his friend
will try in vain to lind one. The assuror
tion that the surrender of these Hut !
would have contributed to remove th
animosities of the war and allay section :
feuling is puerile nonsense , oven thoug
it bo the opinion of a cabinet ofticia
The effect would rather have been to n
open these animosities , since whatever c
sentiment remains in the south in symp :
thy with the rebellion would have fonn
in this circumstance a source of gratifici
tion that it could not have concealed an
would not have attempted to. It woul
have madn the occasion , ns the govornn
of Louisiana says , ono of rejoicing , an
its gladness would not have been mani
festcd in expressions of gratitude , bi
in words of tauut and dcfunci
Everywhere the old rebel yell would hav
greeted these mementoes of defeat , n
awakening the old passions and rckind
ling the nearly burned out iires of affei
tion for the lost cause. The rcsentmot
of the loyal sentiment of the countr
would thus have inaugurated an
other era of bitterness possibly mot
intense than any that has passed. Tli
trophies of union victory are nannies
where they are. They appeal to n
passions , they excite no animosities , the
invite neither rejoicing nor regret. Bi
they properly belong nowhere else , an
it would be nothing short of sacrilege t
disturb them. This is the view the so !
dicrs of the country and those who syii
pathizo with them take of the president
action , and they will hold him to a fu
accountability. His withdrawal of a
order ho had no authority to make dor
not acquit him of the disposition t
commit this grave and incxcusab !
wrong.
The Southwwut Kallroacl.
We have just received a map of tt
San Antonio & Aransas Pass railroai
now under construction from the Gulf i
Mexico , starting at Aransas pass , and c
tending north through the "Panhandle
of Texas to Dodge City , Kan.
This pushing southern company hs
completed on the 1st of May 293 miles c
road , constructed in the best possib
manner , standard gauge , heavy etc
rails and with iron and steel bridge
and by this time they probably have 3
miles completed.
Wo have been urging the Omaha
Southwestern road to build a direct lit
to the northeast corner -of Texas. ]
view of this southern conneetion havii :
decided to push on up to Dodge Cit
Kan. , our proposed railroad could t
built to that point with a great saving 1
distance and the cost of bridging the A
kansas river. The distance from Omal
to Dodge City on an air line is but 3
miles. From Dodge City to Kansas Cil
by the Atohison & Topoku road is 8
miles.
Shall the opportunity of conncctit
with this great southern road be lost
Omaha simply because of our suplncucs
We trust not. If the Young combinatu
are simply adventurers lot a compai
meaning real business strike at once t <
a direct line from Omaha to connect wi
this road from the gulf. No other line
of equal importance to our city , tl
state , or to capital seeking railroad i ;
vestment.
Cleanliness In Order.
This extremely warm weather suggcs
disease and disease suggests clcanline !
The dreaded death-dealing disease , ehi
erahas threatened this country for sovot
seasons past , and those in position
know caution all cities to disinfect ai

States.
Once within our borders , there
nothing to check it. It will
remembered that when it 1 :
visited America , it reached from ocean

the plains nnd played sad havoc in S

Herald reads this sensible advice to c !
Kens of Chicago , which is applicable
all towns and cities : "During the nr
three mouths the weather will bo partic
larly favorable for the generation of d
tnso-gortns in decaying matter. Tno s

be seasons of a direct south wind , wi

United States and the less progressive
countries wh.ch nro now on fumlllar

disinfectants , but the best disinfectant of
all is to remove the offending substance. "
Other hands Tlinn Ours.
The crimes bill was reported in the
house of commons yesterday , and the
action taken is given in our cablegrams.
The course of events during the past
week has not been encouraging to the
cause of homo ruin. It is said that even
Mr. Gladstone has bccomo satisfied that
the light being made is hopeless , and that
he is contemplating the abandonment of
home rule for the time and tliu adoption
of some plan that will unlto both wings
of his party. The indications aru that he
lias withdrawn from the struggle in the
house , leaving the contest to bo carried
on by the Irish party in its own way ,
Having failed to convince the country
and seeing no hope of doing so , Mr.
Gladstone has apparently determined
that in order to present the most formid'
able resistance to future policies
of the government it is neces
sary to unite the party and let
the inevitable come with respect U
the present issue. The Irish leaders
however , are holding their grou nd llnnlv ,
and yield to superior numbers only aftci
they have made over y effort that is pos
sible to the minority. Evictions are slil
going on in Ireland , in many cases char
acterized by great harshness , and the
government shows no disposition to in
terfere , though promising that they will
be temporarily suspe nded during jubilei
week. Tins memorable period will bi-gh
next Monday , and is expected to bi
marked by many notable oveuts and In
cidents. There aru reports of dynamite
plots , in consequence of which extraor
dinary precautions will bo taken. It u
said the queen had become alarmed al
these reports , but it is not probable thai
the venerable lady will bo in any danger. .

Solicitude regarding the condition 01
the German emperor and crowt
prince is not con lined to tin
people of Germany , but i
general throughout Europe. The lates
intelligence respecting the latter is inon
favorable , the growth iu his throat hav
ing shown no increase sinou the last
operation , but there is very strong medi
cal opinion that the view taken by hi ;
physicians of the character of his maludj
is not correct. With regard to the eli :
cmporor , ho is believed to bo very neat
the end of his career. It is said to be hi.
own conviction that ho will never leavt
his bed again. He grows more feebli
joth physically and mentally , the lattei
condition especially exciting alarm.

French affairs have presented no now
phases within a few days , but it is the
current idea that the position of tin
new cabinent is not a pleasant one , and
hat it is having a struggle to keep it ,
Boulaugler is the bugbear with which thi
ministers arc still desperately grappling
The popular general has no
been forgotten , as is so oflon the cess it
mercurial Franco when the popular idols
ire taken from their pedestals. His pop
ularitp crops up nil over , and the mos
energetic and comic efforts fail to keep i
down. Whether the ministry will survivi
, ho close of the session , on July 13 , i
ihought by many to bo questionable
The next ministerial crisis , whenever i
comes , will bo the most exciting Franci
has known for a long while. The trl
umphant return of Boulangcr seems nl
mast a certainty , for public opinion i
thoroughly aroused against the unioi
openly confessed between the ropublicai
government aud the reactionaries , b ;
which Boulangcr is excluded and tin
present unnatural ministry upheld. T <
the usual excitement there may be addei
the resignation of Grovy. It is knowi
that the venerable president is almos
heartbroken at the fierce attacks dircctei
against himself by the politicians nni
newspapers formerly fnondly to him
and that ho is unwilling to undergo onci
more the ordeal of a change of ministry
The danger of the possibility of forcinj
Grcvy's resignation will do much to sup
nort the Bouvior cabinet. The dobat
on the army bill in the French -chair
bors indicates a tacit understandini
between the ministry and the moderat
right. General Ferron was distiuotl ;
charged with this aud asked to say definitely
finitely whether such an understand ! ! ) ;
existed and lie declined to answer. It i
not at all improbable that such an alii
uncc would sustain the ministry for al
practical purposes for the present , but i
could not bu made the basis of a pormr
nont policy. The time must soon come
after the budget is disposed of , who
questions of a clearly political nature wil
arisn , riven if they do not come up iu con
nection with the budget , and any noli
ticul question would instantly dissolv
the combination. The members of th
right arc too firmly opposed to the vcr
existence of the republic to forbear al
tacking it at the tir.st really favorabl
opportunity. Their self-restraint ma
outlast thn army bill and the more in
portant requirements of the treaaur
measures , but it cannot go much furthei

The city of Herat , which English 01
ginccrs are reported to be fortifying wit
strong redoubts , in order that its garriso
may be able to withstand a siege unt
the English could come to its relief , he
been through many sieges , and in one <
them , endured half a century ago from
strong Persian army well supplied wit
artillery , its defenders successfully r <
sisted all attacks for a period of tu
months. About twenty-live years late
Mohammed required as long a time I
reduce the place. The city is situated i
an exceedingly fertile valley , drained t
thn Ilari llud , which , after passing ju
south of the city In its westward coursi
turns nortli through Zulh'kar pass ai :
ilows into Persia. Artitibial irrigation
also found in the valley , which produce
much more than the quantil
of grain nnd other food su
plies needed for the city ,
ought to be possible to so protect an
support it as to detain an assailant unt
help could como from the English. C
the approaches to Herat from the Itussit
aide the most important and practicab
are Robat Pas' , which is eUreotly north i
the city at a short distance from it , an
ZuIQkar Pass , much further to the nort
west. The latter , nevertheless , might 1
the line of a. Russian advance , partly b
cause the narrow and precipitous Rob
Pass is BO easily dofeadod nd partly b
cause the Russians have already workc
themselves toward the ilari Rud , as if .i
tending an approach.from that direction.

The controvcrsy bctwcon Venezuela
and England over Wo frontier of British
Guiana is not yof'scttlcd. The former in
sists that the recent Knclish advance lute
the disputed territory violates the treaty
of 1850 , which Btlitilatcs ) that neither
should go beyond I'omar. It is now said
that Franco nnd Sllaln have offered to acl
as mediators , and that Italy and Belgium
could also bo relied upon for this purpose
It is fortunate that arbitrators can bo so
easily had , as the dispute is a very old one
aud by no means easy to settle. The
English want all 'the region west of the
Esscquibo which is drained by its tribu
taries. Thcro are several of these smallct
streams between that river and the Orl
noco , and British dominion would be
earned far toward the lattor. The bound'
ary has never been determined , althougli
It is nearly a century slnco the western
part of Guiana passed from the hands ol
the Dutch into those of the English.

The canal at Kiel opening a passage
across Schlnswlg-ilolsteln between the
Baltic and the North sea , which has jus

great feats of engineering , like the Al
pine tunels , and the Sueaud I'anam :
canals , for which this century will bo for
ever famous , it starts from the moult
of the Elbe , end will end at Holtonau
almost in the port of Kiel. It will savi
the 33,000 trading vessels which pasi
through the Kattegat and the Soum
every year a detour of nearly 500 miles
It strategic advantages to Germany wil
bo hardly less important , for it will pro
clvde the possibility of her fleet being cu
in two in a war in which Denmaik waf

will put Kiel , the principal German ar
senal iu the Baltic , in direct communica
tion with the principal military post o
the North sea , Wilhelmhafen. The entrance

The new Mahdl seems to bo a persoi
quite open to ordinary arguments of s
rational and logical character , since hi
proposes to desist from making attack
on the frontier , on the ground that thi
action would prolong the English occu
pation of Egyut. His predecessor wa
apparently a Mnhdi of a rather dilfcren
typo , since ho soenie'l to take counsel o
religious rather than diplomatic considerations
orations , and relied more on fanaticisn
than iinesso. If the present prophet wil
only maintain the prudent attitude whicl
ho has kept for the most part , ever sinci
his accession to power , it may not bi
difficult for EnglamLor Egypt eventually
to come to terms with him. It may b
doubted whether hojcan long hold hi
authority without continuing tnat carce
of conquest which Mohammed Ahmci
began. n

The governorship of Alsace-Lorraine
which the late Field Marshal Mautouffe
held so successfully , and which it hai
been rumored the Prince Von Hohonloln
would resign , is a little kingship byitsell
The conquered provinces are called Ira
perial Land , and the governor-general i
appointed by the emperor , whom Voi
Hohcnloho represents as proxy. In thii
way the provinces are denied the fev
liberties enjoyed by other North Gormai
states. Strasburg is as populous n
Omaha , and Metz and Mulhauscn an
each half as largo.
THE Washington correspondent of th
Chicago Tribune recalls a romantic inci
dent in conneetion with the election o
William E. Chandler to the United State
senate. Mr. Chandler married a daugli
tor of the late John P. Hale , of Nov
Hampshire , who was then a senator , ain
afterwards minister to Sdain. When ,1
Wilkcs Booth was shot there was foum
on him a picture of the daughter of th
then Now Hampshire senator. Whotho
Booth wits more tlun an admirer is no
known. That ho was profoundly in :
pressed by Miss Halo's accomplishment
and beauty was well known ifl Washing
ton at the time. This is romantic ii
itself , but something still moro romanti
was to fall to Miss Halo's lot. The so
of tho" man whom Booth assassinaled-
Uobort Todd Lincoln was President Ai
thur's secretary of war. Mr. Chandlo :
was secretary of the navy in the sam <
cabinet. Official etiquette proscribes tha
at state dinners nnd other ceremonial
the secretary of war shall escort the wif
of the secretary of the navy. Thus wn
presented the singular fact of the so
having on his arm the lady of whom hi
father's usssasin thought most. Anotho
peculiar thing is that in 13i. ( > Miss Hal
and the daughter of'tho late Sccrotar.
Zach Chandler , of tyichigan , wore giri
together. Miss Cnatullor married Senn
tor Halo , of Maine/and the secretary' '
daughter became a secretary's wife. Mis
Halo married Mr. Clmt'ullcr and bccam
the wife of a socrctac . So that durin
the Arthur ailministt.ition the ladies iu
only exchanged nambf , but also ofllciu
rank. *

THK ambition of Chicago to reach tt
third place iu point of population in tl
country was recognized by the late leg !
lature , which passed a law making U
annexation by largo cities of suburban
villages and smaller cities comparatively
simple. Under this enactment Chicago
will doubtless absorb all the towns
which nro now practically identified with
ho city , ns Lake , Lake View nnd Hyde
'ark , nnd thus add nt least
,25,000 , to her popnlatlan. In 1830 , accord-
ng tothucensus , Brooklyn , N. Y. , had
500,003 inhabitants and Chicago 503,185.
The population to bo gained by Chicago
n annexing the outlying towns would
ilaco that city largely in advance of
Brooklyn nnd thus assure it the third
place iu the census of 1890.
AFTKH a very lively contest , the Mich-
gan legislature finally passed the local
option law , which provides that thequcs-

bo voted on whenever one-fifth of the
voters of a county petition the super
visors , and that the decision shall stand
For three years before the question can
bo again submitted. The bill was
vigorously fought by the prohibitionists ,
and the success of the measure is ono of
the recent signal defeats of that element.
Michigan has learned the wls'lom of n
license and local option policy in dealing
with the liquor trafllc , nnd there must b
n very great change in public sentiment
there before that policy is abandoned.
AXOTHKU "corner" which Is attracting
attention is that in cotton , now being en
gineered in this country nnd Great Brit
ain. It is apprehended that disastrous
consequences may result from this spec
ulation. With the object of defeating the
purpose of this corner , it is reported thai
the Manchester Cotton Spinncrs'Iassocia'
tion proposes to run all its spinning mill !
on short time. It Is estimated that 30,000-
000 spindles aroemnloyed spinning Amor1
lean cotton , and consequently inUiriouslj
affected by the corner. Such a suspen
sion would throw thousands of operatives
out of work.

To the Kdltor ol the BKKI The gradual
encroachments upon individual lihertj
in the United States will soon take away
from us the boast that this Is the land ol
freedom. This country is largely made
up of foreign-born nooplo , who came
here to escape the rigorous rules and
tyrannical oppression of moimrchtnl
musters , expecting that in n republic ,
founded upon freedom , equity and jus
tice , Qthoy would bo permitted nt
least to enjoy nil rational pleasures of
appetite and recreation. The arbitrary
prohibitory laws and the Sunday blue
laws are not only oppressive to the for
eign clement , but they nro alike unen
durable to the sensible nnd conservative
men who by virluo of being born her
cnll themselves Americans' .
Periodically the strict observance of
Sunday , after the old Puritanical style , ia
insisted upon by a few fanatical loaders In
n community. A disturbance of the
pcacn of the community is sure to follow.
Thu fanatics have the law on their side ,
simply because legislators havu followed
in the same old rut and permitted the
Puritanical blue laws to bo engrafted iu
our statutes. But the great majority oi
people neither endorse such laws nor
favor their enforcement. They look upon
them simply as dead letters. They arc ,
therefore , surprised periodically at
attempts on the part of fanatics and
would-be moral reformers I urn-bettor-
than-thoti sort of men to have these
laws enforced.
New York City is now having ono of
these semi-occasional Sunday observance *
spurU. No liquor can be sold at all in
that city on Sunday. It cannot even bu
supplied to the guests of a hotel at the
dinner table. Now if people drink wmo
at their week-day dinners , why should
thnv bo prevented from drinking it at
their Sunday dinners ? Yet that is ex
actly what the law in New York does.
Will any sensible man say it is justice to
cnfnico such a jaw ?
In St. Louis even a moro strin
gent Sunday observance is to be
enforced , or at least an attempt
is to be made in that direction. Under n
law passed by the lust legislature of Mis
souri nil saloons , beer gardens , bowling
alloys , theaters and base ball parks must
closo. This will simply shut off the
amusement of thousands of honest work
ing people who havu no time for inno
cent enjoyment except on Sunday. It is
on that day that they go upon picnics ,
witness base ball games , attend thu thca-
aters , and visit tno beer gardens with
their friends and families to bo enter
tained by the choicest music. Isut the
law says they must not do this any more.
Yet this is u land of liberty I Lib
erty of what ? The facts do not
boar out the boast. Oh , Liberty , what
tyranny is committed in thv name I *
An incipient movement has bcon
started in Omaha to enforce what is
known as the Sunday law. Kvcn such
nn enlightened state as Nebraska has
upon its statute books a series of Sunday
blue laws. In some respects reform
measures in certain quarters ninjbo for
the public good , but any attempt to close
respectable resorts where people are en
tertained with excellent music or oven
theatrical performances will meet with a
strong oppposition. A crusade is being
also organized against Sunday base ball
plaving by two oflicious clergymen.
They should enlarge their field of action
and make war upon those of their parish
ioners who go driving on Sunday for
pleasure solely. They should auatho-
mize all bicycle riders. They should de
mand the closing of all livery stables ,
lee cream parlors , soda water fountains ,
cigar stands , news stands , swimming
baths , etc. , in conjunction with other resorts -
sorts where Sunday pleasure seekers gofer
for amusement and refreshment of body
and mind.
The question may bo asked why do not
all these pleasure seekers , a largo majority
of whom urn honest , sober and industrious
workingmnu go to church on Sunday ?
This is easily answered. Look around
you nnd see how many working people
attend church. Not one out of twenty.
In these days the church does not seem
intended for poor people. The pews are
all sold to the highest bidden ) and the
scats are owned by the wealthy. There
iH no room left in church for the poor
man. The modern church is the resort
of the wealthy and fashionable. Modern
religion is too costly tor the uoor mau.ci
Yet certain fanatical clergymen dcslro
to take away from the poor people the
few sources of Sunday recreation that
are left open to them. Shame on snch
men.
men.When a man cannot got a glass of beer
or wine at a Sunday hotel dinner in Now
York , when lie cannot indulge in refresh
ments in Maine. Iowa or Kinsa : at any
time without violating the law , when he
cannot visit a beer garden or n base ball
park in St. Louis or Omaha on Sunday
without becoming a law-breaker , it must
strike the average person that this is not
a land of liberty.
Ltst every man observe Sunday accord
ing to his own desire , and so long os he
conducts lumsulf in an orderly manner
ho should not bo molested. Let Sunday
alone. It will take care of itself. A. S.
