Ulovoluml In the face ofdoatluy , has suddenly
discovered that Stanford Is a weedy railroad

tilrcndy bargained to this end , and an u proof

chniigu of huiu-t would bo wonderful were It
actuated by honest principle' ) . Hut the as
sertions uro not only Hotly contradictory of
previous ones , but llko them , totally unsup
ported. The liui : calmly usks an Intelligent

and his dcmocrnttc cabinet nro' part nnd par

have revealed the corporation rascalities that
huvo boon going on without lilndranco under
twenty-live years of republican rule and re
publican supreme judges , to suy nothing of
the millions of ucrcs of hind which huvo been
rescued from these corrupt pools by the Indi
vidual clTorls of Mr. Lamur. Ceitalnly Mr.
Lam.ir's record would indlcato him as the
lust man in tl j nation from whom thesa cor
porations , would expect favor. Omnhii Her-
ahl.
Tliorc nro hut two explanations of the
misrepresentations of tlio Hun con
tained in this puerile utterance of our
increasingly dull and stupid contempo
rary. They are duo to either ignorance
of the course of thi-i paper or to willful
mendacity , with the circumstances
rather in favor of the latter. It , is true
that the editor of the IfcmW is new to
Omaha journalism , but he has been hero
long enough to become familiar with the
attitude of the BEI : regarding ex-C'otn-
mibsioner Sparks , and any member of
his stall of longer experience in Omaha
could have told him what estimate thin
paper has always placed on Senator
Stanford. In- this view we can only re
gard the misrepresentations as having
boon wantonly and willfully made , with
what motive is a matter of no concern.
The readers of the BISK will not
need to bo told that this paper
has never denounced Mr. Sparks ,
or said anything regarding him
that could possibly bo construed to his
detriment. On the contrary wo have
always maintained that Sparks was
thoroughly honest in his policy and
aims , and while his course was not al
ways free from mistakes his intention at
all times was to promote and conserve
what he believed to bo the interests
and welfare of the government and the
people. Wo were unsparing in con
demning the successful effort of Lamar
to drive Sparks out of the land olllcu ,
and the belief then expressed that the
pursuit of the ox-commissioner was to
satisfy the demands of the corporations
has been strengthened by subsequent
circumstances strongly confirmatory in
their character. To what extent , if any ,
President Cleveland or other members
of the administration may have been
parties to or cognizant of Lauiar's now
apparently evident compact involving
the doposal of Sparks and Lo Barnes ,
we have never expressed an opinion.
In relation to the action of several con
gressmen in bringing the removal of
Lo Barnes to the attention of the presi
dent wo said simply that Mr. Cleveland
could bo depended upon n'ot to do any
thing inimical to the chances of Lamar ,
and that ho would bo governed by the
advice of the friend for whom ho enter
tains a "positive alTeclion. " If this in
volves the president as a party to the
contract wo have no apology to make.
So far as wo have seen Mr. Cleveland
has paid no attention to the protest of
the congressmen against the removal of
Lo Barnes.
As to Senator Stanford , the Bui : has
repeatedly during the past year , and
many times before , scored him in terms
which would leave no doubt of its com
plete condemnation of his whole career
and character. Wo regard him btill as
a thoroughly unscrupulous and danger
ous man , and the fact of his voting to
confirm Lamar is the strongest possible
circumstantial evidence of tin under
standing between them. The idea that
wo over could have thought of Stanford
as a possible republican candidate
for the presidency is so pre
posterously absurd as to almost
discredit the editor of the Jfcmhl
as u man of ordinary common sense. As
well think of Jay Gould , Huntington or
any other of the notorious band of rail
road wreckers and plunderers , as a
presidential candidate. Any ono ol
them would have an equal chance be
fore the people with Stanford , iu > d the
least objectionable ono among then :
could not carry a single state.
The very perceptible decline of the
Jfcmhl editorially is a matter for com
miseration , but this is a fault otihily
remedied. Competent ability can be
found in abundant supply. But when
mendacity , apparently without any ra
tional motive , is conjoined with weak
ness , there is a degrading union Urn' '
can result only in disaster.
The Wool Conference.
There is not the most remote proba
bility that the schedule of revised tarif
rates on wool and woolen manufactures
adopted by the conference of wool growers
ors and manufacturers hold in Washing
ton last week , will receive the favorable
consideration of congress , except bo far
perhaps , as it may suggo&t correction1
of inconsistencies and abuses shown ti
exist. The demand of the conferonci
is that the wool tariff of 1807 shall hi
substantially restored , by which dutie
on all grades would bo materially in
creased , and that there bo an addlttoi
of fifteen per cent ad valorem on wooloi
goods , so that the manufacturer wouli
bo fortitled against the increased cost o
the raw material , Reduced to its las
otToct , the proposition is to increase tin
cost to the consumer of all woolen goods
from "o to10 per cent. Manifestly there
is no possible chance for the success o
such a proposition in Uifi present con
Kro | > s and with the p < ' - . .iJng feeling O
ho country rcga'rdliiff tariff revision.
L'ho eo'nteronce performed its,1 work to
10 purpose unle.ss Us demand for moro
irotwtion shnll have the effect of pro-
enting any bcrluus intorferonro with
hat it now enjoys. This much the wool
jrowers and manufacturers may perhaps
iopo for.
It is to bo remarked , however , that all
.ho wool manufacturers are not in
aver of nn incroiibo of the tariff
either on wool or its products ,
ind fcomc are favorable to a reduc
tion on both. It i.s said that sev
eral who were me in be rd ot the conference -
once strongly objected in committee to
.hu schedule as adopted , and are taking
stop * to organ\o \ the manufacturers op-
loscd lo a high wool tarilT for Iho pur-
ioe of anlagoni/inir before congress
.ho conference bchcdulo. There has
joeii a great deal said by loading man
ufacturers during the past few weeks in-
llcatlvo of a material change from the
views they have hitherto professed.
The president of the Connecticut car
rot company , which employs more than
eighteen hundred persons nnd uses
seven million pounds of Wool each year ,
hiiid of the tariff on carpet wools that
t is simply for revenue , and not at all
or protection , since such wools can-
lot uo had in this country only
n very limited amounts. Nearly
.ho whole supply of wools used
n tlio manufacture of carpets comes
'rom ' South America , Kuhsia , Egypt ,
Syria and the east generally. The pro-
.oclion from the duty on thcbo wools is
eally in favor of the foreign manufac-
, urcr , wlio , getting his raw material
TCO , is ounlilod lo undersoil the Amer
ican manufacturer. During thu last
fiscal year there were exported from the
United States only 7,710 yards of carpet ,
yet the domi'stio market was glutted.
Manufacturers in ether lines have been
quully explicit in expressing the opin
ion that iho tnrift" on wool should not bu
increased , while some have insisted that
Tico wool would ultimately bo lo tlio ad
vantage of both the growers and Iho
manufacturers , in that it would enable
thu latter to 'greatly enlartro their
trade with ether countries and thereby
increase the demand for the raw mate
rial. A Boston paper , assorting that
the interobts of Now England are
clearly on the side of free wool , or at
least a lower wool tariff , says : "Our
Now England woolen mills fool the
burden of the taxes on tholr raw mate
rial in the shnpo of a restricted mifl-kot.
Especially the great Now England carpet -
pot industries at Lowell , Clinton , Wor
cester and Longmeadow are heavily
handicapped by thu twc on carpet wools ,
all of which mtibt bo imported. " Those
expressions indicate the character and
strength of the opposition that will bo
made to the proposed restoration of tlio
wool tariff of 18i7. (
The assumption of the conference that
the reduction in thu tariff on wool in
1881 ! is wholly responsible for the subse
quent decrease in the number of sheep in
thu country , amounting in throe years
to about six million , is by no means im
pregnable. The truth is the decline ot
the sheep husb.uidry was very marked
during the greater part of the high
tariff period after 18157. In that year
there were JIO,000,00 ( ) sheep in the eight
principal wool-growing status east of the
Mississippi , and ten years later the num
ber had declined to 15,000,000. There
was an increase meanwhile in the west
and southwest , but in 187 ! ) the total
number had fallen from ! ) ,300,000 to
38,100,000. Then there was an increase
to 4,200,000 ! ) in 1883 , since which there
has boon a falling off , though
the number of sheep in the country
now is greater by live million than
at any time during the high tariff
period prior to the year 188J5. Obvi
ously there were conditions at work
which the tariff was powerless to over
come that produced a falling off. during
the twenty years from 1807 to 18S7 , from
tii,000,000 ( to 11,000,000 in the Hocks of
Ohio , Michigan , Pennsylvania , Now
York , Indiana , Illinois , Wisconsin and
Iowa.
It will thus bo seen that there are two
sides to this question , and that the
weight of argument is rather with these
who , while asking no legislation detri
mental to tlio wool interest of the
country , demand that just consideration
bo given thu whole people who are the
consumers of the manufactures of wool.
This would not bo done by restoring the
wool tariff of 1867.
Vci-v Small
Our amiable friends , the Lincoln
newspapers , are very much incensed
because the Omaha postotllco bill has
been given precedence in the senate
committee on public buildings over the
bills for proposed postotllco buildings at
Plattsmouth , Fremont , Beatrice , Hast
ings and Grand Island. Indignation
meetings are called for by the Lincoln
iwpors in all these towns to mob the
Nebraska delegation should they dare
to allow the Omaha bill to pass ahead
of the others. Our Lincoln contempor
aries exhibit altogether too much dis
tress over matters which only concern
O mull a and the ether oities named.
Have they over shown as much interest
for. Fremont , Beatrice , Hast
ings and Grand Island when 'ap
propriations were pending in the legis
lature'1 ; Did over any Lincoln paper
call for indignation meetings in
these cities whun the Lancaster
delegation was pushing appro
priation bills for the capital
building and public institutions which
are located at Lincoln , ahead of appro
priation bills for institutions in other
cities.
The hill for the proposed public build
ing in Omaha naturally comes up Ih-st
with bills for public buildings in other
metropolitan cities. Its prior consfdor-
ation docs not in the least interfere
with the claims or chances of ether
cities in this state. Congress docs not
make appropriations by states. Its policy
is and always has boon to erect a public
building at each state capital and in
ovary eity that ranks as a commercial
center. Thnt is the reason why Omaha
and Lincoln have secured appropria
tions for public buildings years ago.
Other cities ot Nebraska are not in tlio
least hampered by the fact that these
buildings exist , or by any project to enlarge -
largo or replace them by moro commo
dious buildings. It is n very small busi-
ucs-3 , tosay the least , for Llncoln.'papors
lo try lo array the"- ether 'citiesof No- ,
jraska against ? Omaha on such u flimsy
pretext , . ' '
AccounlNO to 'County Treasurer
Bolln'rt reKrtllic ) ) , , railroad sinking fund
now in the county treasury , and hold for
the redemptionof , the county's railroad
debt , amounts to-.Tloj3.il. : This largo
sum is laying unproductive in the county
treasury , while at thu same tluio the
county is paying 7 to 10 per cent interest
on its railroad Vends , and 7 per cent on
its outstanding unpaid registered \\ar-
rnnts. Now , ilstrlkos us a little finan
ciering by the county commissioners
would be of material advantage to the
taxpayers of Douglas county. Why can
not tlio commissioners invest this ninlc-
Insr fund surplus in interest bearing
bonds ? They can readily , if they do not
want to buy long time bonds , invest in
paving bonds which boar interest at not
less than 0 per cent. It is certainly a
very poor economy to leave $1-1,000 in
the railroad sinking fund without in
come when the money can bo placed on
good security and yield over $11,000 a
year interest.

Albuquerque ( N.M. ) Democrat , Jan. 8 :
The case of trance at Las Vegas , re
cently reported in the Democrat , con
tinues to bullle the skill of local physi
cians. On Friday the girl continued to
lie without signs of life other
than her regular breathing. The
Optic says that on Friday of last
week some effort was made to arouse
the girl from her stupor and she was
then left alone. Upon the return of the
landlady to the roof the patient was
found in an unconscious state , staring
blankly nt thu ceiling , without signs of
life other than her regular breathing ,
and in this condition she has remained
for eight days , except that for the last
live days he eyes have been closed ,
nnd four times during the eight
days she has raised up enough
to "speak a few words when spokun to.
She has taken only milk in the way of
nourishment , and this morning , buforo
day , was the only time she has been
suillciontly aroused to hold the cup in
her own liand , At that time she asuud
who cut her hair short , though it was
in that condition when she came to the
town. During the lirst part of her ill
ness she wept incessantly and moaned
without ceasing , though perfectly un
conscious. Both symptoms have ceased
in the last U-o or three days. This
morning a pitcher of ice-cold water was
poured on tlio back of her head , the
only ciTcct being to cause her to catch
her breath. A gentleman from Al
buquerque saw her during the lirst part
of the wool ; and thought ho rccogni/.cd
horns a young woman who had lived in
that town under the name of Pearl But
ler. If ho was correct in his recognition
she was formerly the wife of a Santa
Fo photographer by the name of Ilutch-
inson , who was last heard of in Chicago.
The physicians pronounce it a marked
case of hystoria.which may continue for
a great length of time.
