A Pertinent SiiRROstlon.
In his speech to the democratic con
vention of Illinois which nominated
him for governor' , General Palmer
among -othor things saids "Tho pcoplo
must bo asked why it is that the state
has bccomo an object of such contempt
that standing armies are raised in its
midst to furnish mercenaries J.o Penn
sylvania and to Iowa. How is it that
private men can organize soldiers in
this state hirelings to go with their
Winchesters and overawe the pcoplo ? "
The reference is made to the Pinkerton
system which had its headquarters in
Chicago , whence it sends its armed
hirelings broadcast over the coun
try , as they may bo called
for by any corporation , to monaco
the rights and the lives of citizens , as
has been done in Nebraska , Iowa , Penn
sylvania nnd other states. Is it not a
most pertinent suggestion of General
Palmer that the people of Illinois must
bo asked why their state is allowed to
harbor such a system ?
General Palmer was a gallant union
soldier , and coming out of the war with
a most honorable record was elected
governor ot Illinois twenty years ago by
the republicans of that stato. Ho has
always hold radical views regarding the
rights of the states , and it was largely
by reason of those that ho' drifted into
the democratic party. It is not
necessary to apm-ovo all his opinions
regarding the rights of the states in
order to commend his attitude of oppo
sition to the toleration of a private band
ot armed mercenaries kept ready for
use in any part of the country to overawe -
awe the peoplo. The permission of so
: > orniclous a system not only invites in-
ractions of the rights of the states , but
t is in most distinct hostility to our
principle of government , nnd if allowed
, o continue and grow must eventually
become a source of danger to our insti-
ulions. What sort of republic shall wo
have ten or twenty years hence if in
every state -are quartered these bands
of private armed mercenaries , composed
n largo part of the least responsible
class of society , ready at all times to do
the bidding of whoever will hire them
n assailing the rights and menacing
the lives of the people ?
There is most urgent necessity for
calling the attention of the pcoplo to
this matter , and particularly the pcoplo
of Illinois , who are largely responsible
for the existence nnd growth of this
most dangerous evil. It is a very great
reproach to them that this Pinkerton
system has been allowed to reach its
present development in their state , and
they ewe it to themselves , as well as
to the country at largo , to uproot the
evil and cast it out as soon as that
can practicably bo done. So far
as the states nro concerned which
nave had an experience of the nature
of this evil , it is to bo expected that
their people will not fail at the earliest
opportunity to make provision against
the repetition of such experience. But
it is possible for Illinois to give the
death blow to the system , and her
people will bo false to their most sacred
interests if they fail to do &o.
Possible ArmjChanges. .
In the event of the death of Lieuten
ant General Sheridan , which is likely
to happen at any hour , ho will have no
successor to the title of lieutenant general -
oral as the law now stands. There arc
three major generals Sehofield , How
ard and Crook the first of whom , by
reason of his seniority of rank , would
succeed to the command of the army.
He is now iu command of the division
ot the Atlantic , with headquarters in
Now York , and promotion in command
would doubtless transfer him to Wash
ington. It would then bccomo a ques
tion whether ho should bo succeeded
in the command of the Atlantic
division , or that and the other twc
divisions , commanded by Howard
and Crook , bo done awav with. It a ] > -
pears that only departments , nnd nol
divisions , are recognized by the revised
statutes , so tlmt it is among the possibil-
itios7in case of Sheridan's death , that
the latter may bo done away with. In
such event there would urobably bo a
rearrangement of departments , creat
ing eight for the two junior major gcn >
orals , and the six brigadier generals ,
the latter being Miles , Stanley , Gibbon
Ruger , Morritt and Brooke.
It is far more probable , however , thai
congress would confer the title of lieu
tenant general on Scholicld , nnd thui
make way for the promotion ol
one of the brigadier generals
to a major generalship , there'
by preserving intact the existing
arrangement as to divisions and depart
monts. There is no good reason why sc
admirable an officer as Soholleld bhouli
not succeed to the title and emoluments
together with the duties , of the presonl
commander of the army , and there
would doubtless bo very little opposition
to continuing the title in his case.
A. I'rlnco ol' 1'cncc.
It is quito possible that a great in
justice has been done Crown Prince
William of Germany iu the genera
opinion that his only ambition was t <
win glory in a great war. It is von
likely , also , that a great deal has beoi
said regarding him in other respect
which misrepresented his true sonti
incuts and character. There is bomi
reason to believe that ho is a youii |
man of very , good sense , ngooddca
imbued with the con temporary spirit
and that ho is neither blood-thirsty as i
soldier nor an ingrate ns u son. Ye
the world has learned to rogan
him as both.
If the words of Prince William , a
quoted in our cable dispatches c
Sunday , are to bo accepted , he i
not only not the dangerous uiai
ho has boon painted , but a vet
liable prince of peace. "I am in over
way , " ho is reported to have taid , "a
peaceful as the Emperor Willian wa ;
and for the pcoplo to imagine that
over dream of plunging into militar
adventure , or that I oven tacitly approv
of anything that could load to a disturbance
turbanco of the peace of Europe , is a ) ,
solutely absurd. " Nothing more e >
plicit or reassuring than this could b
desired , and it should calm the feat
not only of the German pcoplo who d
not want war , but of all the nation
whose pence is so largely dependent upo
the policy and conduct of Germany. Th
mporlal rule may still bo n long
vny from the grasp of Prince
William , but the sentiments ho holds
low are likely to grow stronger rather
han weaker with the advance of years ,
nnd meanwhile it is a considerable aide
o confidence to know that the future
cine of Prussia and emperor of Gor-
nany is living by the lights nnd oxam-
> lo of his distinguished grandfather ,
tfot less firmly than his ancestor ho bo-
ioves in the army as the bulwark of
national existence , but if his reported
vords do not belie him ho would use it
xs a conservator of poacoand not for
mrposos of conquest or personal glory.
The Emperor Frederick may live yet
nnny years , but bo his death sooner or
ator , ho will bo succeeded by a son who
ivos assurance to the world that ho
vill not bo first to light the torch of
vnr , though ho will bo found always
n-opnrod when the necessity shall come
o strike.
WHILE it is true that the south has
aid aside sectional differences and race
mtred to a great extent , the doop-scntcd
> rojudico against the negro dies hard ,
tfowhore in the south is a. negro consid
ered to bo the equal of the white man ,
uid the aversion to the race appears to
> o strongest in that old hot-bod of rebel-
ion , South Carolina. The south is still
n that condition of barbarism where
ho shedding of human blood is not
ookcd upon with horror , and where
'gentlemen" on the slightest provoca-
.ion . kill each other on sight. With
.his . low moral status it is not to bo
vondorod nt that the killing of a negro ,
and possibly a bad ono at that , is ac
cepted by southerners as a matter of no
nero importance than a tnoro disagree
able duty. It is therefore looked upon
ns alarming that a judge should take
the killing of n nctrro by a white man
seriously. The following editorial ,
'rom the Abbeyvillo , S. C. , Press anil
lianw , ono of the strong papers of the
state , gives an insight into the publio
sentiment of the south upon the custom
of murdering negroes :
Some two weeks ago Judge Korslmw ns
; oed n nmn as sits ou the circuit bench no
Aiiilly refused to nduilt to ball a wluto niau
who had hilled a negro. If any man doubts
-ho statement , wo quote our dally exchanges
as authority. Wo boltcvo sucu on occurcnco
was iiot on tbo court records until the act of
Judge ICcrslmw , which must liavo astonished
even the criminal , ou whoso hands , no doubt ,
wore still the smell of gunpowder and human
blood. The action of Judge Kcrshaw , in
mtting his ofllcial discountenance on the
killing of negroes , must be alarming to those
of our fellow-citizens who may bo carrying a
listol to shoot BOIUO bad negro in the buck
while running away from them. If sucn
rigid enforcement of the law is to bo con
tinued by Judge Kershaw , and if the example
should bo followed by other circuit Judges , it
may not be n long time before some gcntlo-
mau may bo actually sent to the penitentiary
for no greater offense than that of shooting a
bad negro in the back.
When our courts begin to look with dis
favor upon the act of killing negroes and
white foreign laborers the situation may beset
set down as alarming indeed. Are nil of a
white man's liberties to bo taken away from
him under democratic rule ! Heretofore wo
bcliovo that no white man has been refused
bail for killing n negro , and only until re
cently has anybody been denied bail for any
murder at all , the court seemingly havintr no
disposition to punish that class of offenders.
If Judge Kcrshaw's example in failing to
come to the rescue of murderers is to bo con
tinued , wo may nt no distant day oxpcct to
see some gcntloman go to the penitentiary ,
and wo may expect to sec n monotonous
peace reign which will not bo interrupted by
even a negro killing.
THK iron manufacturers of Pittsburg
announces their determination to ma
terially reduce wages , and if this is not
submitted toby the workman , to close
their works. In ono of the largest es
tablishments in that city a reduction often
ton per cent will take place to-day , and
another extensive mill has given notice
of a reduction to take effect Juno 1.
Very likely at that date ether establish
ments will endeavor to cut down wages.
The ostensible reason for this is the
lack of business , but it is not an
unreasonable conjecture that the
combined movement ou the part
of the manufacturers has refer
ence mainly to the influence which
it may have on the question
of tnrilT reduction. The iron trade is
unquestionably less active than hu > t
year and the prices are lower , but there
is still a liberal margin of profits. It is
not largo enough , however , to satisfy
the manufacturers , and therefore they
present to the labor they employ the
alternative ot accepting less wages oi
ly ing idle. This is the periodical
policy of the well-protected iron men ,
nnd yet they are the most vociferous in
demanding that the tariff shall bo main
tained in the interest of labor. It
ought not to bo very difficult for intelli
gent men to see that there is u marked
inconsistency between the preaching
nnd the practice of the manufacturers.
CANADA is now paying the Canadian
Pacific steamship company between
China and Victoria asubsidy. . The
purpose of this was to make Victoria n
rival of San Francisco , and to divert
trans-pacific freight from American
steamships and railroad linos. But the
experiment has turned out a costly fail
ure. In spite of the subsidy , the Cana
dian steamship line can not pay expen
ses. In order tp bccomo n competitor
of the Pacific steamship company , the
Canadian line of steamers is obliged to
como to San Francisco direct from
China. All proloiiboa of making Victo
ria a rival of San Franoibco are aban
doned , and the government pays the
Canadian Pacific thousands of dollars
for the hollow mockery of running HE
steamers from San Francisco to Victo
ria to keep u technical hold on the sub-
bidy.
THK rush of American tourists tc
England is something unprecedented

spend anywhere from $500 to $1,000.
at least $2,000,000 of hard-earned

The success of thcDesMoines club in hold
ing first place in the Western association fern
n month has been very encouraging to its
friends. The club is now in good condition to
wm the most of the games that will be
played hero in the next two weeks. This is
about the only club of the association that
has not changed n player since the season
opened. Not a man has been released , not anew
now player has boon signed. This is a pretty
good testimonial to the ( food judgment of
Manager Morton who made up the team. Un
less some accident befalls the club it proba
bly will continue as it is now constituted , no
changes seeming necessary anywhere. Great
interest is being taken in the approaching
games wieli Omaha this week , nnd it is ex
pected that on their own grounds the homo
club will tnko two if not three of the games.
The boys certainly ought to do ns well as
they did In Omaha , and the probability is that
they Will do ono hotter.

Jlow Captain Alc.xnnilor Saved Ilin
I'nHKciiKurs and Crow. '
Captain Alexander , of the ill-fated
Queen of the Pacific , which sank not
long ago at Port Hartford , says the Sun
Francisco Chronicle , has received much
praise for the coolness ho displayed
in saving the lives of all of his passen
gers.
According to the latest private tele
grams that have been received ho was
aware that the Queen was leaking ns
early as half-past 2 o'clock. In a few
minutes ho su\v that his steamer mu&t
go down , for the pumps could not work
fast enough to keep her clear. Re
alizing that the only salvation of
the steamship and the safety of the
hundreds of lives intru&ted to his
care rooted on his making a
convenient liuvou at once , ho sent pri
vate orders to the 'chief engineer to
crowd on all steam , to use coal as if it
was worthless and to send the vessel
along like a wo horse. The chief en
gineer responded. All hands in the
department were called out nnd the
steam was raUed to the utm > i limit. 3
As a further precaution the cargo
was ahifted , and tno began a race for
life. The engines creaked and groaned
and the jourpals bmoked. All this time
the pasbongors were Ublcop in their
bunks. Finally , Captain Alexander be
gan to fear that ho could not make port.
All along that part of the coabt bluffs
ribo abruptly from the sea , there
being no convenient bcuuh on wiiich the
steamer could bo run , and the pns-.cn-
gors were roubed , bo as to bo ready to
take to the boats , if nocoasary.
The frightened people rubncd out
from their fatatorooms in all faprtb of ap-
purol. A imnio boomed inevitable , but
utrain the coolnebsof Captain Alexander
won. Ho compelled the frightened
ones to dross and by an exhibition of
force btopped nrubh for the boats * . Alter
quelling tno excited pcoplo lie baw to it
that the firemen worked to the last
limit , and when the vosbol finally
btoumed into the port , nearly ready to
bink , ho was the first to SOD that the
pu&aongora wont into tlio boats in i < a

ADDITIONAL COUNCIL BLUFFS-
"How nro tlio Mighty Fnllcn. "
At the Presbyterian church last evening ,
the pastor , Kov. D. I'holp.i , gave nn eloquent
tribute to the deceased Bold lor , his text being
"How are the mighty fallon. " In opening ho
said :
"I bollovo that It wni God who In Hlsprov-
lilonco led to the appointment of our national
memorial holiday , called Decoration day. I
think therefore that the church ought to bo
forward In Us proper observance , nnd In
teaching and learning the lessens which Ho
meant thus emphatically to bring to our at
tention , This being the nearest Sabbath sor-
vlco to that day , this year , I gladly embrace
it ns nn opportunity , I love to apeak of tlioso
soldiers ; and of our country , In whoso def -
f once they guvo their lives ; and of God's '
goodness to us as a nation , in connection
with all the wars In which they served ;
the old French and Indian war , the revolu
tionary struggle , the war of 1812 , the conflict
with the Uarbary states , the Mexican war ,
and that of the great rebellion , mid In what
ever other conflict * men have fallen In the
establishment , or dcfcnco of our national In
tegrity , institutions and honor. "
The suoakor then showed how the bible
lias much to Bay about eoldiors and battles
nnd war. Hut it was not for mere conquest ,
or ambition , or personal , or national , hate ,
that these heroes of the bible page contended ,
Tlioy felt that they were lighting for the
Lord , against His onouilcs , ns well ns their
own ; and they were inspired by n faith In
Him. They felt that they were led by Him ,
and to him they ascribed their victories.
Ho next showed that many of the import
ant lessons of the bible arc drawn from the
things of war , as o. g. : "Ho thou faithful
unto death ; " "Put on the whole armor of
God ; " "Fight the good light of faith. " etc.
Would that every man of iirms In all our his
tory were a valiant soldier of the cross.
It Is important also to remember that none
nro saved by simply dying in battlo. Mo-
hummed promised that tliosu who should fall
in his battles should enter Paradise im
mediately ; but the scriptures promise eternal
life only to these who believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ , The Bponlter then briefly told
the narrative connected with the text , It
was the death of Saul and Jonathan , mid
David's lament over them , although Saul
had been his most deadly onuiny. From this
was drawn a lesson of the magnanimity
that wo ought to continue to cherish toward
those who were defeated in our latest war.
Those memorial days ought to bo days , not
of revived bitterness and hate , but devoted ,
rather , to the strengthening of these bonds
that bind this union together. It was for the
preserving of this union that our soldiers
fought. The speaker then told the story of
the spirit in which our army ro'oclvcd the
surrender of Loo's forces : how the llring of
the hundred guns , which was begun , was
promptly stopped by General Grant ; und
how that our urmy greeted them with cour
tesy as they approached to lay down their
arms ; and how not a sound from a trumpet ,
nor a roll from a drum was heard ; not a
taunt , nor cheer , uor boastwn , hoard from a
single ono of our men , ns , all day long , the
others marched past , stacking their arms ,
furling their flags and laying them down ,
many times with tears.
Ho also spoke of the earnest messages of
sympathy , that were sent to General Grant ,
when ho was suffering at the point of death ,
from nil sections of the laud ; from tlioso
against whom ho had fought , as well as these
whom ho had led in battle , and from mem
bers of all political parties ; how , also , ho was
honored in his burial by friend and foe , in
many cusos with equal affection.
The speaker also narrated a most touching
scene where ho n few years ago saw n flag
that had boon captured by the rebels in the
war , returned publicly by the general who
had captured it , to the remnant of the Iowa
command from which lie had taken it. To
cherish these feelings that bind us all to
gether is a lit observance of this memorial
day , for it is right along in the same line as
that for which our iiomo soldiers fought. It
tends to cciuont the the union , which they
died to preserve.
The speaker then called attention to the
fact that it is not individuals , nor communi
ties , hut the nation itself that is honoringtho
soldiers' memories. The greatest nation of
the earth feels herself honored in bowing her
head over each of these graves , in all the
land , and acknowledging her indebtedness to
the soldiers lying there , nnd to God above ;
and this as earnestly ut the grave of the
private soldier , as of the officer. Ho closed
with a presentation of the results of the war ;
nnd nn earnest exhortation of our duty to
ward the land and the institutions , which
God has given us nnd preserved at the price
of so much treasure nnd blood ; the heaven-
given duty of the true Christian patriot.
The Christ inn Soldier.
At the Congregational church last evening
the members of the Grand Army were pres
ent in a body to hour the sermon delivered by
the Kov. G. W. Ciofts. The sermon was one
of the clergyman's best , and none but n vor-
batiin report would do Justice to the beauty
of diction by which it wns marked. Ho chose
as his text tlio words "I buvo fought a good
fight , " Ho vividly pictured the brave old St.
Paul , in chains and looking forward to n
cruel death , when ho penned these words to
Timothy. The npostlo was a grand Christian
hero , and had lived so bravo a lifo tlmt ho
could utter those words with no suspicion of
egotism. Ho made this utterance not with a
dcslro for self-glorillcation , but to inspire
these who should follow him to ba true and
brave in battling against ovil. Such a picture
should not bo deemed nny disparagement of
the present occasion , for the grand old npostlo
was a brother soldier. The spcalcur then paid
a fitting tribute to the veterans before ) him.
They , too , had fought n good fight ; they had
saved the union ; they had torn out every dis
cordant string from the harp of liberty , and
attuned it anew to sweetest harmonics. They
would over bo held in the afTuctions of the
true hearts of all pcoplo und nil ages. As their
d"cds would bo moro fully and moro btflt-
tmgly dwelt upon on Decoration day , lie
thought the present occasion should bo used
for other lessons.
The war of the rebellion was over , but the
battle of life was still waging , What did tlio
Christian soldier needl In tlio first plucu en
thusiasm. What caused tlioso bravo men to
Icavo their homes and face imprisonment ,
suffering , nnd oven death ! When tlio drums
began to boat the hearts began to beat.
When men uro cool and caculating they are
selfish. It is true that steam moves thu engine -
gino , but it is the llro which makes the
stoam. It was the hearts which foil ns well
as the heads which thought that made these
bravo men march forth to save their coun
try , Tlio enthusiasm spread from the campfire -
fire to the hearthstone , and caused those left
at homo to muko sacrillccs as well as these
who went into the Hold. Look among all the
grand men of bible story and it will bo seen
that they wore enthusiastic men. Such were
the signers of the declaration of independ
ence. Enthusiasm caused men to throw
themselves witli energy into the battle of lifo
as well.
Endurance was needed. One's strength
and heroism is tested by time , b.v long Buffer
ings. The days of waiting , tlio weeks of
monotony , were trying. Sailors dreaded a
calm moro than a storm. Thuro were days
in lifo when the word "halt" came und ono
could not retreat , und could not udvanco.
I'nsh wns needed , such push as was shown
by that grand old general , Urant , und as
shown by that other hero , Sheridan. God
bless him , and help him win the fight against
death.
1 feroism wns needed. Paul never flinched.
It took heroism to face death in uuy form ,
but it took no less true heroism fur the
Christian soldier to say "yes'1 und to ttuy
"no ; " to fight the gigantic evils which wcio
abroad devastating the land. Such an evil
as intemperance , which wns yearly Bonding
as many to the grave as thu war did each
year. It was costing as much each year ns
any year of war. There were many tattles
to bo fought ugalnst such evils , und ouch
should no his part bruvoiy'und curry on the
righteous warfare with all the enthusiasm ,
endurance , push und heroum which had
characterized St. Paul.

It having been stated that South Omaha
would bo furnished with electric light by n
$500,000 company in Omaha , n BUG reporter
interviewed members of the city council
coumiittco nnd found that the rumor was en
tirely without foundation. South Omaha
will be lighted by n local company , whether
it is a private venture or at the expense of
the city , and the sentiment generally favored
is that tno city should own the plant , nnd so
have its streets lighted without cost nnd de
rive an Income from the outlay at the same
timo.
