JA.Y GOULD was doing quite favor ably yesterday. He gave the stock holders of the Missouri , Kansas & Texas the option of paying him his debt or of going without the road. Wlinx the Russians begin patroniz ing the high-priced American sleeping cars just introduced on Russian rail ways , they will learn that there are two autocrats in their country , the czar and'tho Pullmans. IN the presidon tial pamo of base ball it is the homo run which counts. It is a long way round from first base to the plate , Mr. Cleveland , when fauoh an awkward follow as Thurman is at the to bring you in. IT is said that John Sherman does not know how to touch oil' the fire works of political enthusiasm. But that is bc- Jua > . cause ho has not had a fair chance. Just lot him get his fingers on the match , and the hcnvenswill bo red with sky rockets. TIIJC anarchists are about to bring an injunction suit to restrain the democrats from infringing upon their vested rights. They claim that they are the only original "rods" in the country , and therefore the waving of the red bandana is a spurious imitation. SAM and lumber have passed the muster of the house and are put on the advance guard of the free list. With wool and iron bringing up the roar , the tariff reduction will bo welcomed by the manufacturer who has clamored for free raw materials tlieso many years. To measure the popularity of "Buffalo Bill" in Now York City by the amount of enthusiasm ho creates whenever ho is soon on thotttroots , ono would imagine that ho is a candidate for tlio presi dency. Nevertheless Nebraska is pleased to see so many favors showered ion her "favorite son. " IN Massachusetts several woolen and worsted mills at 'Lowell , Lawrence , Springfield and other cities are boine enlarged in anticipation of the increas ing demand for American goods. This floes not look asif Massachusettswoolon oion feared the ruination of their busi- tiiess by the passage of the Mills bill. GILWO'S American exchange in Lon don which failed rpoontly lias passed through the ordeal of the English courts , and its affairs will bo wound up by the well known operatic manager , Colonel Mnpleson. If the colonel proves as uDioiont a banker as ho has an 1m- pressnrio , the creditors can whistle for tholr deposits. Tine gross oavnlngo of the sovonty- flvo leading railroads have just boon made public for the month of May , which show au increase of over 5 per cent as compared with the correspond ing month jot last year. This is a silent rebuke to the caviling of railroads thnt tli9 present transportation rates are ruining thorn. IT is very singular that the council has up to this time failed to coiuo to an understanding with the gaa company as to the current bills for gas furnished from month to month. As a business proposition the oity should have all those bills properly pro- Bontud at the end of each month , the same as private consumers. The bills should bo certified to by the gas inspector and placed among the current expenses in the general ap propriation ordinances. If the gas company claims n different rate from thnt established by ordinance , the sooner its right to ohargo a hljrhor rate is tobtcd in the courts the bottor. These gas bills have been a source of crimination and recrimination for the lust two years , and the sooner a test cuso is carried into the courts , the better tor it will be for all concerned. Tlio Intor-StftIo tinvr Amendment * . The operation of the tnlcr-slato coin- -jnorco Itxw htis in the nrnin justified tlio wisdom uf Its enactment. II hns cor rected SonatorXJyUom pointed out in his speech in the Bonato en Tuesday , many of Iho evils that existed before its passage. Some of the greatest hardships suffered by certain localities \mdcr the old system of arbitrary discrimination have boon removed , Had the railroads accepted the law in good faith nt the outset , nnd sought to conform to its re quirements as commdn carriers , its operation would unquestionably have given greater satisfaction atid bene fit to the people than it has dono. But this the railroads did not do. On the contrary , they com- blnod to thwart the law and to render it ns odious ns possible to the public. They had a partial success for a time , but ns the people grow to understand the prin ciple ot the law nnd the necessity thcro was for suoh rogulatiftn ns it contem plated , the policy increased in public favor , nnd it IB rare now that nny popu lar objection to it is heard. Having failed to array Iho publib against the law , the railroad managers put all their ingenuity to the test to find methods of evading its provisions. The operation of the law had in fact boon no disadvantage to the railroads so far as tholr earnings were concerned. In the case of nearly every road in the country those wore increased nfler the law went into offoct. Butthoro scorned to bo a common feeling nmong the corporations thnt the policy of regu lation and restriction must bo resisted , and when the conspiracy by combina tion failed , most of the roads sot about evading the law in their own way. It is well known thnt they have boon largely successful in this. Favored shippers have boon given the advantage of several days' notice in advance of a reduction of rates , under- billing has bcon widely prac ticed , and in other indirect nnd roundabout ways the purpose of the law has boon defeated. Intolllgontraon are not disappointed at this nnd do not think loss of the principle of the law because - cause of it. They understood that the act was necessarily to Some extent an experiment , that no human wisdom could frame a , racasuro of this character which would operate per fectly on the first trial , nnd they know also that the corporations would tnko all possible advantage of every dofoct. It was expected thnt sev eral years of experience with the law would bo necessary to render It invul nerable to the ovaslvo devices of the corporations. On the whole the re sults under it have been much more satisfactory than was anticipated by most of its advocates. In tholr report to congress the com mission made very few recommendations as to changes in the law , but develop ments since have pointed out clearly the necessity of certain amendments , the most important of which have bcon submitted in a bill now before the sen ate. The chief of those is directed against the practice of underbilling , by which roods that would cotno under one classification are entered under a tower classification a de vice no less reprehensible than that of re bates and other like forms of discrimin ation. Another proposed amendment is to require three days' notice of a re duction of rates , the law as it stands not requiring any notico. This it is thought would lesson the practice of evading the law by giving favored shippers secret notice of intended reductionsund , would result in a greater stability of rates. Still another contemplated amendment is to extend the penalty for unlawful discriminations to imprisonments as well as to fines. It is quite probable that if railroad managers should have to face the possibility of imprisonment for violations of the law they would reflect more seriously before acting , while simply the risk of a fine that did not touch their own pockets would have no deterrent effect upon them. These amendments are clearly neces sary. They would strengthen the law and give it greater respoct. They doubtless do not provide all that is re quired to perfect the law. It is to bo expected that further experience will develop other defects and the necessity for additional amendments and changes. But thobo proposed nro in the right di rection and there should bo no question as to their adoption at the present ses sion. Meanwhile the principle of the law is no longer seriously assailed , and even the corporations doubtless under stand that the people will not now per mit it to bo abandoned. Tlio Iu ] > ew Movement. There is nothing surprising in the announcement that the Colorado dele gation to Chicago is drifting toward Dopow. It has bcon apparent for faomo time that the same inlluencos which were at work in Nobvnska were oper ating in Colorado , nnd it was to bo ex pected that the results would bo simi lar. That they are BO is conclusive evidence of the widespread political activity of the corporations and of their combined purK | > so to push Dnpowontho republican party as ita presidential ctindidato. As in this stuto , so in Colorado , the lender of the Dcpow movement is a tailroad attorney who aspires to the ynltod States bonnto. He has given recent evidence that ho is unscrupulous enough to do anything in politics , nnd is , there fore , quite the sort of man to faith fully do the bidding : of the corporations. In Colorado as in Nebraska the Dopow boomers misrepresent the gront body of republican voters , and if the corpora tion candidate should bo successful in gutting the nomination at Chicago there would certainly bo such a republican re volt In Colorado as might give thnt state to the democracy. This is plainly indi cated by the Denver Republican , which eays that "unless the better element of the republican party has the sense nnd courage to drive the corporation tools out of power , a revolution is immlnont that may work disaster to the party as well as the railroads , " There ia but ono plain duty for the honest republicans of both states in the event of the success of the corporation scheme to make Dopow the republican candidate for president , und that is to nominate nntl east their votb for republican doctors pledged not to vote for the corporation candidate. Dopow cannot obtain the ndmltiatton by honest and straightforward methods. It will bo impossible for his friends to colivlhco R majority of tlio delegates nl Ghiongo that ho is the most available man for the candidate of Iho party. If ho Is nominated , therefore , it will 1)6 duo to the corrupting methods of the corporations , nnd every honest Mid Into republican will ewe It to hlmiolf and to the common interest to ropudinto such a candidate. It Is shown that Tnn Bn was right in giving no credibility to the reports that Dopow had 'decided to wilhdraw from the fio'ld. Ho htxscntor- talnod no such thought , nor will ho un til confronted by such an overwhelmingly - ingly adverse sentiment that ho cannot help Booing Iho hopelessness of his am bition , tt is the ImporaUvo duly of the republicans of the west to make this eontlraont hoard before nnd during the convention. Thcro 1ms boon no tlmo tit the history of the party when finan ces and cburago were moro needed than at this juncture to thwart the designs of the corporation nnaconda that la cell ing itself with deadly crabraco around the party. No greater danger confronts the people of this country than that of enthroning in the high places of the nation the creatures of the railroad cor porations. Already they arc in the halls of congress and on the bchch. of the federal supreme court. They are not yet , however , all- powerful. But place ono ot thorn in the presidential office , with all its great power nnd patronage and what would the interests and rights ot the people bo worth ? It is this mighty stake for which the corporations nro now playing , and they will spare no effort to vin. Every consideration affecting the interests - osts of the people , the welfare of the nation , and even the security ot our in stitutions , demands that this desperate and unscrupulous conspiracy shall bo defeated. Tins pollco force should bo given credit for nil meritorious work. The too common practice is to condemn all shortcomings and withhold commenda tion when it is deserved. In the matter - tor of the daylight robbers now in cus tody the police seem to have done good work , assuming thorn to be the right men , of which there appears to bo no doubt. There is evidence of persistent vigilance and industry In ferreting these rascals out , aud the result is most satisfactory. It is a warning to the thieves of the country that Omaha has a police force which is disposed to do its duty and cannot bo safely trifled with. Such a warning-lias been needed. A JUUT at Nebraska City gave largo damages to a citizen who sustained a broken login consequence of adefectivo sidewalk. It is a wonder that such suits are not of almost daily occurrence in Omaha. In a walk of an hour not less than twenty dangerous places in side walks can bo found on the most traveled thoroughfares. Throughout the city there are doubtless a hundred such places. The dereliction of the sidewalk inspector is simply culpable , and that oQlcial should either bo compelled to do his duty or bo replaced by some ono who has the conscience to earn his salary. are several sections in the city building ordinance relating to un safe buildings , dangerous rookeries , and the like , and also a section requiring the superintendent of buildings to in spect and condemn all such death-traps. In view of the fact that Ju certain fivo- story building in the city has a dan gerous habit of swaying and tottering to the imminent peril of its fifty occu pants 'overy time n heavy wind comes up , it is the manifest duty of the sup erintendent of buildings to sco to it that the building is put in asafe con dition , or forthwith pulled down. THE sound financial rating which Omaha enjoys among eastern capitalists and bankers was illustrated by the ad- vantageousdisposal of 3200,000 worth of 5 per cent bondsbv City Treasurer Rush. It is certainly a high compliment to our integrity when a premium of 41 per cent amounting to 88,207 was paid as bonus for this block of securities. There are very few cities in the country which nro able to borrow money on terms as favorable as these. Moreover , it has become proverbial in the markets that an Omaha city bond is as good ns a gov ernment bond at any time. SOUTH OJIAHA passed the high water mark Tuesday in the receipt of hogs. It was the heaviest shipment for any ono day in the history of the yards. The number received was 13,000. At Chl- cngo the receipts were 15,000. This places South Omaha second only to Chicago as a hog market. Since Juno 1 tlio daily receipts exceed those of Kan sas City , which assures South Omaha a permanent load ever the former city. What Is moro encouraging the market Icopt up its prices in spite of the heavy receipts and thnt nt the close of the day all the hogs were sold. Tine manufacture of boot sugar has become one of the leading industries on the continent , und it ia a matter of surprise that so few attempts have boon mndo in this country in that direction. If the manufacture of beet sugar can bo profitably carried on , Nebraska would bo an admirable field for raising sugar boots' und for the manufacture of beet sugar. The ex periment ought to bo tried nt least. If successful , a now and important addition would be made to our indus tries. * CHICAGO has bobn having trouble with her gas trust , and the difficulty was drngfjod Into court , whore the city was evidently getting the host of it. But for some inexplicable reason the prosecution has dragged , nnd the tongues of the city council und princi pal witnesses have suddenly become paralyzed.

Their Usefulness Shown by a Parisian Wedding-Present llobbcry. At a wedding recently in a. fashiona- able uptown residence , a Now York Graphic representative saw two of Inspector specter Byrnes' men and two moro from the Wilkinson ngenoy. The four were in full-dress suits , gloved , patent- leathered and with buttonhole bouquets. No ono could have distinguished them from the crowd of fashionable guests. They wcro never together , but someone ono of the four was continually present in the room where the presents of the bride was spread out for the delectation and delight of hor'frionds. "Is this usual ? " whi&porod the reporter - porter to the sharp-cyeu , milu-facod man from Wilkinsoirs. "I should say eo , " was the reply. "If some guard were not kept oyor those articles they would , ba liable to disap pear very promptly. The last police * story from Paris would show just how necessary this supervision is. Shall I toll it to you ? The daughter of the Marquis of Vaul- sorro was married in the hotel of Baron do Wondel , her undo , with a reception which all fashionable Paris attended. The reception was an open one , and the hundreds present thronged the second salon in which the wedding presents wcro exhibited. A high Catholic dig nitary , Monsignor Favin , having boon announced , the throng crowded into the first salon to bee him. "After the commotion caused by the arrival ol the prelate had subsided one of the ladies of the house returned to the second salon for the purpose of allowing the presents to a newly arrived friend. The splendid diamond neck lace , the most beautiful und cobtly of the exhibit , was gone. The loss was soon buzzed through the assemblage , and a cold silence fell upon the guuRts. People looked at each other naif in amazement and half in suspicion. All were in perplexity and uonfuhion , for among these present wcro many whose faces wcro familiar by reason of their being seen in many life gatherings , but whoso names and position in society were little known. In the suaucnsu there was some talk of closing the doors and keeping the people together until the advent of the police. Some suggested thorough search , but nothing of the sort wus attempted. Tlio mnrquis of Vaulserro and Baron do Wondol , however , stood at the hall door and scrutinized ouch departing guest. Nothing suspicious having boon developed the police were sent into the second salon to investi gate , but they discovered nothing ex cept bomo reason to conclude that the necklace and its pendants were too largo to have boon taken iiway by. a man unless ho wore a great coat while perpetrating the theft. No mini so at tired was admitted to the second sulon , therefore , they concluded that the jewel was stolen by a woman , who hid it among her voluminous skirts and pasbod unnoticed amid the guchts , "Tho police have made no progress since in elucidating the crime further than to surinibo that it was perpetrated by throe English women , who were soon loitering at the door when the wedding party arrived from the church and the reception began. They were sulllciontly well attlrert to bo admitted without challenge , and made the most of their opportunities when the crowd deserted the Huuond billon for a sight of the illw- UnguiHhoU prelate. If tlio liont had taken the precautions that American gentlemen generally take und employed detectives to waU-h the jewels , the lots could not have occurred. " Decay of Teotli. The decay of American tooth , nnd to seine extent the Ions of tooth of all civil ized races , has bcon accounted for by the ablest English authorities on the sooro of the heavier draughts made by the bruin on our general physical and nerve systems. It issmiposud that the force that would bo applied lo repairing the tenth is used clsewlicro. Hut it is known that the material of the tooth is among the least pomhablo of ull the parts of the body , nnd itsooms hardly probable that for the nbovo oaubo they should chiefly fail. Dr. 1'ohlman now answers that they decay from lack of tiho , Animal tooth nro hold in perfect order in proportion to the use of natural food , Feed a cow slops and she will lese her tenth ; food her gra. s and hay , and &ho will retain thoin to old ngo. It is therefore not improbable that 1'ohlman is "right , and our topthlcssnuss follows the introduction of eofl foods that need UUlc or no mabtkalion.
