IT is u , poor man indeed \vho has no
land to olTor to the government ( or the
new fort-sito within ton miles of Omaha.
KKX the footpad and the weeds
on unfrequented suburban streets there
is a close atllnity. Cut them both
down.
NOUKOLK has put on her gayest
plumes and stops around lively to mar
tial airs in order to welcome the boys in
blue at their annual G. A. R. reunion.
WITH disastrous floods down east ,
damaging frosts in Dakota and Minnesota
seta , yellow fever in the south and
forest ( ires in Michigan , we may con
gratulate ourbolveti that we are living
in Nebraska.
IT is customary in many eastern cities
for the wholesalers to give an annual
banquet to their country customers.
"Would not such a plan bo feasible for
our wholesale houses , in view of the
number of merchants who will visit
Omaha during fair week as their
guests. .
IK Mn. HITCHCOCK feels so bad over
the defeat of Mr. Yost and nomination
Of Loose , and actually does believe
What ho pretends , that Omaha lias re-
Civod a mortal stab in the house of its
friends , why don't ho address himself
to his father-in-law , Judge Crounso ,
Who nas largo property interests in
Omaha. Judge Crounso cast his own
vote and the other eight votes of Wash
ington county against Yost and for
Lceso every time.
WHEN it comes to protecting their
homos , the Colorado settlers on the
Maxwell company's land tire not to bo
evicted without a struggle. If over in
justice was done by the United States
upromo court it was when it legalized
the Maxwell land grant swindle. Pub-
lie sympathy in Colorado takes sides
With the unfortunate settlers whose
lands and Improvements are forfeited tc
the Maxwell land company. But , ol
OOurso , everyone sees the foolhardiness
of prolonging an armed struggle ngainsl
the ofllcors of the law and the state. II
is to bo hoped that a compromise can be
effected between the Maxwell companj
and the Bottlers whereby the settler !
will receive a just compensation foi
their improvements and the companj
will got the land in obedience to the
supreme court.
LOOKING at the president's plan o !
retaliation from the interests of tin
northwest , it is plain the policy of non
V intercourse between the United Sltttei
and Canada would damage America !
I railroads quilo as severely as those o
Our neighbors. All the Michigan roads
would bo olloetod , nnd those Now Eng
land roads which depend on Canadiai
trafllc would bo paralyzed. The rail
roads which center at Buffalo am
Niagara and use Canadian lines acres
the province of Ontario as fa :
ns Detroit would bo cut ol
from their western connections. Lak <
traflic would likewise bo seriousl ;
crippled as nlne-tonthb of the businos
on the great lakes from Chicago. Mil
* waukco and Duluth to all Canadian rail
road ports is carried in American vcs
Eels. In consequence of the close rela
tions between the two countries , th
commercial community of oui'northon
tier of states is unanimously opposed t
nny act of retaliation which will re
bound as a boomerang on our own bus !
ness interests.
IF THE deep-water convention now i :
> session at Denver becomes turbulen
nnd turgid it will bo duo to the Texan
themselves. There are strong dologc
ttons from each interested section of th
Btato eager to got the endorsement c
the convention for their particular U
cality. Four harbors are contend
ing for the necessary govorr
mcnt appropriations to become th
deep-water bay of the southwest
They' are Galveston harbor , Sabin
Pass , Arransas Pass and Pass Cavallc
Whatever location is decided upon I
will bo a rich sugar plum for that sec
tion and a detriment to the railroad an
commercial interests of the other loca1
ittos. It would not be strange therefor
that local rivalry and prejudices ma
occasion the stirring up of considorabl
Ill-foeling and that very little will b
accomplished , unless the selection of
deep-water harbor bo loft wholly to th
fovornmont.
Could Ho lie Trusted ? .
In considering tho'question of enlarg
ing the power of the president fbr put
ting ifito effect a policy of retaliation
against Canada , the inquiry is naturally
suggested whether Mr. C'loveland could
be' tru-ltd to'wisely and properly oxer-
ci'-c so great aii authority as he'asks to
huu ; conferred upon him. In there way
wurrnut in the'record of the president
for confidence that lp the event" of cpn-
gres" devolving upon him the grave
duty and responsibility his menage calls
for ho v ould net with the judgmc'nt , llrm-
nc a unil high patrlptism which would
redound to the honor and advantage
of the country ? Whut reason is there
for believing \\\o.l \ Mr. Cleveland would
not use the extraordinary power he pro-
fcbiefilo.dor'ivc JohiHpert-onaladvantage
if opportunity were given him for Mich
usoV Certainly none in his courto re
garding his own pledges tti the country
and'in his-'shiftiligjittitude upon many
public questions , made jvhli reference
to retaining his hold UJKHI tile presi-
dppcy.
It is a mighty power which the presi
dent calls upon congress to give him.
It would subject to his will or discretion
the Interests of great lines of tr'aiib-
portution , the vfclfitro of vatt
commercial intorestb , and the
busini'-s relations and resources of
millions of people along the three
thousand miles'of the northern frontier.
Ha he the sound discretion , the clear
judgment and the uubclli.ih patriotism
that entitle him to be entrusted with
Mich a power ? Could babe depended on
not to employ it sons to corrro the great
interests that would bo placed at his
mercy into his support ? Four joars
ago Mr. Cle\cland profcbted to be un
favorable to a second presidential term.
Yet no mail ever evinced a more inordi
nate ambition to be re-elected. To
this end ho huh permitted the
prostitution of the civil ser
vice , recklessly disregarded the char
acter and traditions of the bii-
prcmo court and iu other \uiys debased
the executive oflicc to political uses for
a personal end. Is it not a fair and
reasonable presumption that the power
ho asked for might bo somehow used to
the same end ?
The paltoli-m ! of the country is
easily aiotittHl iud doubtless the first
impression irado by the retaliation
message uiioti the majority of the people
ple was favorable. But it i ? undoubt
edly trUe that tiio sober second thought
has changed the minds of thousands ,
and that now the very large ma
jority believe that the authority given
the president by the act of March ,
1887 , is sufficient for the present , and
that \\ouldbe a mistake to go beyond
that and imperil interests not involved
in the fishery dispute until there shall
appear better reasons than now exist for
recourse to more radical measures. If
there is any political capital for the
president and his party in his demand
for greater power to deal with Canada
lot them have the benefit of it , but
there is no urgent necessity for grant
ing the demand , and there is very
slight probability that it will bo granted.
An Appcnl for Justice.
There is a great deal just now mak
ing a demand upon the popular atten
tion , but it should be possible for the
people to give a little thought from the
tariff and the retaliation issues to the
state of affairs that exist in a portion of
Louisiana. In the west portion of that
state the colored people have for some
time been the victims of brutal out
rages at the hands of the whites which
are u shame to civilization and a dis
honor to the American name. Having
made every effort to secure protection
and justice from the state author
ities without success , a mass meeting
of colored citizens hold in New Orleans
last week , issued an address to the
country setting forth what their people
had suffered nnd making an appeal tc
the nation for justice.
These outrages are of course largolj
or wholly due to political causes. In
the last state election the colored
vote of Louisiana was cast wher
ever it was permitted to bo
for the republican candidates , bul
it was not so counted. Hence a demo
cratlo majority of over oighty-foui
thousand , an impossible result it
a fair election. Since thoi
there has been a markoc
revival of blttorncfcs against the colorct
population in u portion of the state , unc
armed bands of whites have been or
ganized who have terrorized the do
fenceless colored people , driven then
from their homes , and subjected their
to abuses and outrages of the moat bru
tal and barbarous nature. All this ii
well known to the state authorities , bu
no effort has boon made to remedy tin
crying wrong and insure the victims o
political hatred protection under tin
laws. The appuals of the holple.is vie
tims have fallen upon deaf oar& , when
they should have received instant attention
tontion and aroused prompt and decisivi
action.
In the senate of the United States i
few days ago Senator Chandler dc
uounced MeEnory and Nickolls , ox-gov
ernor and governor of Louisiana , a
"two stupendous criminals against frci
suffrage , two instigators of intimida
tion and murder of voters , two leader
of thousands of reckless , lavv-brcakin |
election officers , and of desperate
bloody and brutal torturers and murderers
derors cf black voters in their owi
state. " This severe language , only t <
bo justified by the most nggravatin ;
circumstances , seems not without war
rant if all the statements of outrage
upon the colored people of Louisiani
during the past few months are true
and they appear to bo amply attested
It is a state of nftnirs whch ] will bo dop
recatcdby every citizen who boliovosii
the supremacy of law and the reign o
justice.
The Case of Dr. Brooks.
THE ilKis' has received 'several com
munications'making inquiries regard
ing the former- political affiliation c
Dr. Brooks , the prohibition candidat
for vice president , his relations to th
confederacy , and what ho said at Decatur
tur , Illinois.
One of the questidns submitted , i
whether Dr. Brooks 'is an ox-confedoi
ato. We do not understand that h
was in the military service of the coo
fedcracy , but he was a resident c
the south during the rebellion , and
wo have : lift own testimony
that ho ivns in . full sympathy
with the. confederacy and'prajed for
its success. Wo do not renlomber to
Jiavo seen any frtaton.ent .as to his hav
ing been n slaveholder , but.thoro of
course can he tie question' as to his pro-
slavery views.
Another correspondent asks us _ to reproduce -
produce the exact language u , cd by Dr.
Brooks in his speech at Decatur , 11T1-
nols. This wo are at present unable to
do , but the roforiincc heretofore'made
to it in these column pnvq all that was
essential to'show the antecedents nnd
past sympathies of the prohibition can
didate. In Miufctnnco this vvns that lie
had sympathized with the confe'deracy
and prayed for its success , that ho had
been a dciuociat , and thanked God he
had never been a republican and would
not have that fin to nflswor for. The
newspaper reporter who Icok down this
language has iimdo oath to its being
don-ret , nnd is corioboratcd by the affi
davits of reputable citizens of Decatur
who heard the speech. It should bo
Understood that Dr. Brooks has never
denied the language ascribed to him ,
but has .simply said that BO much of it
as relates to the sin of being a republi
can was intended in u facetious spirit.
This portion of the doctor's utter
ance , however , was made with H warmth
and earnestness which left no doubt
that it was a deeply serious declaration.
Dr. Brooks may bo regarded by an
clement of the prohibition party as a
shining light whom it is u great privi
lege to follow , but those who were
former republicans will be compelled to
ccttiipromko their self-respect in order
to vote for him.
Walcinjf tlio AVronu
Once more I am compelled to defend
myself against malicious imbeciles who
do not appreciate decent and courteous
treatment , and insht on provoking a
controversy that mint result in their
signal discomfiture and disgrace.
Everybody in this community and
state will concede that my course with
regard to Mr. Yost's candidacy for the
state treasurorship was justified iu tlio
light of political history. Although all
is said to be fair in war and politics , I
hiivo done nothing , either at Omaha or
tit Lincoln , which could be considered
dishonorable.
Instead of pocketing their humilia
ting defeat and chagrin , the combine
that supported Yost have soon lit to de
nounce me personally as an enemy to
Omaha's material prosperity. They now
trump up the charge that I was a party
to what they term a swindle and tin
outrage upon decency , namely the cir
culation at the state convention of a
dodger , signed by the president and
secretary of the Typographical union
of Omaha , over its seal , reciting the
fact that Yost had sought to break up
their union , and protesting against his
nomination. This dodger , Mr. Hiteh-
cock declares , ' 'was the work of one or
two officers of the union , instigated
beyond a doubt by Mr. Rosewater , who ,
in his mad effort to defeat Mr. Yost ,
stopped neither at sacrificing the city's
interests nor in resorting to dishonor
able1 methods. "
That pink of honesty and high priest
of public morals , Cadet Taylor , goes a
little further and declares it was "the
act of a man utterly without principle ;
and that comes about as near describ
ing the Political Judas of THK BKK as a
short sentence is capable of. It is not
the lirst time ho has outraged organized
Labor by using its name and influence
without warrant to the injury of labor
itself and the community at largo. "
Now let these slanderers stand from
under ! They have provoked a reve
lation that will exhibit them in their
true light of greedy hypocrites and un
mitigated frauds.
First and foremost , I denounce as a
base falsehood the charge that I have
had anything whatever to do with
the printers' dodger , and I defy
them to produce any testimony to
justify their slanderous inuendo and
dirty flings. I never heard of the
dodger until it was put into my hands at
Lincoln just before the convention mot.
I never conversed with a printer about
Yost's candidacy , and was not stupid
enough to imagine that Yost could be
defeated by such a scheme. The dodger
was , however , true in every particular.
While the printers' union did not
authorize it , the executive committee
of the union had it printed and distrib
uted. For this I am certainly not re
sponsible. But if this dodger was a
swindle and an outrage upon decency ,
what shall be said of the following cir
cular letter ?

This document , ciroulnted iu the in'
torcst of the papers that have so ofter
made desperate and vain efforts to bulli
up a paying circulation , was issued n
the time I was lying onraybackathonn
prostrated with n dangerous disease
which these sympathetic editors hopoi
would prove fatal. It was printed bj
the HcptiLlicun and Cador Taylor hirot
and paid the men who mailed it tc
every firm and individual , that advor
tlscd in TJIE BEK. Cador 'Taylor fur
nished the envelopes and paid the post
ago. The circular was- spurious and
Taylor know that it was a forgery
Taylor and Ihtchfotjc both know that
there vttm no "C'pr cnluhitcd Trades
Union , ' ' and. itli knew that the
boycott was an infi cmsnird criminal
.conspiracy. Both theih kept up a
constant' howl n > out the scab
bricklayers on. TifV Ilisi : building ,
when it vuis patent to everypody
Hint I had no right toiuterfore vvifh thp
contractor and could not do PO without
laying The Bee Building company Ha- ,
bio to a heavy darnnge suit. Both
Hitchcock and Taylor privately con
demned the bricklayers ! strike- , mid cxi
presseii the hope that it would fall , but
in their papers they kept on their hypo
critical gush of sympathy-for the brick
layers' union. But when the union
bricklayers resumed work on Tills Bii : :
building under a now contractor , they
wcro as silent us the grave.
Taking advantage of my illncFS these
impostors had the town , canvassed froih
end to end , and with the bogus
boycott threatening merchants with
the disfavor of the vvorkingmen
they sought to cripple Tin : Br.ii and
work up advertising patronage for
themselves. Their discomfiture in that
instance , like their failure to pull Yost
through , has left them stranded and
eking out a scant existence with"no
prospect of. getting their papers on a
paying basis. 1 have treated Mr. Hitch
cock courteously , and in return he only
heaps insult upon injury. His effort to
build up a paper lias met with
no obstacle at my hands. On
the contrary he has enjoyed tlio
benefit of THK BKK'S enterprise and
clipped nine-tenths of his dispatches
from its morning columns. Bul surely
I cannot be blamed for bis lack of brains
and ability to establish a paying paper.
The same is true of Cadet Taylor , who
is better fitted for petty steals and job
bery in a government printing olllco
than ho is for conducting a reputable
and influential daily.

Tlio Retaliation
In view of the recent messugo of Presi
dent Cleveland asking for additional legisla
tive authority to retaliate the injuries in
flicted on our fishermen nnd commerce by
the Hritlsh in Canada It will bo well to carefully -
fully examine the law enacted by congress
for that purpose , which ho approved without
criticism or suggested amendment In March ,
18S7. From this law , fairly construed , it became -
came hfs sworn duty -apply this remedy
whenever the' conditions precedent rendered
it necessary for the security or dignity of the
United States. His message clearly shows
that nioro than sufficient provocation has been
given again and again by Canadian ofilcmla ,
ana that ho has neglected to perform his sworn
duty in the premises. A careful reading ol
the law , which wo copv m full from the
United States statutes , shows that It ls very
clear and comprehensive , well adapted- 'ac
complish the purpose for which it was
oauctcd , ana that it should huvo been applied
nt tlio time thp outrages were committed' ,
nnd not a year or more after they have
ceased. Iho IHW in IM follow * :

A Union 1'nclflc Man Talks About
Olliclals Present ami Prospective.
"The articles in the I3ui : referring to Bax
ter of the Union Pacific combatting the
wishes of his superior officer remind urn , "
said an old Union Pacific clerk j cstcrday , "of
the s-tory of the gnat trying to swallow the
camel.
"Baxter is , however , entitled to a little
credit in the controversy , that of carrying
out the policy of those that made him , but no
more.
"The trouble virtually antedates that of
Bllokensderfcr's advent to the division. As
long ns there are railroads , there will bo
combinations among the officials and attaches
and in the present instance it commenced
with S. T. Smith , formerly general superin
tendent , calling his assistant Dickonson from
Denver to take charge at Omaha as acting
general superintendent , pending the arrival of
T. J. Potter , who had been elected second
vice-president , but had not yet arrived. Dur
ing the interim of Smith's departure nnd Mr.
Potter's arrival it will bo remembered the
general manager's office was practically va
cant , Mr. Callaway having resigned , so that
the acting general superintendent had full
sway. It was then the work was done. Deuel ,
Baxter and scores of west end men , so
termed , personal Irlends of Dickinson'sworo
brought from the west and the Nebraska di
vision completely manned by them. When
Mr. Potter arrived ho did not take so kindly
to the personnel of the combine , and instead
of carryinc out the programme or partaking
ot the disli of soup prepared for him by as-
Bcntiifg to the appointment of Deuol as super
intendent and Baxter as assistant , ho very
unceremoniously broughtMr. Bllekcnsdcrfcr ,
the oldest superintendent on the road , to
Omaha to take charge. This , of course , vvai
the first unkind cut of nil to the combine.
Deucl soon departed for the Wyoming divis
ion as assistant superintendent nt Kvanston.
Now , Baxter follows him to the same divis
ion , and to the initiated , or those in position
to know , it is predicted that the scheme
thwarted by Bllckcnsderfer iu Omaha will
soon materialize in the far west.
"These uro small matters , of very little In
terest to the public generally , but to railroad
men they are all-absorbing. The rumor now
coinos , and with great force of circumstances
too , that Thomas L. Kimball has performed
his last act as acting general manager of the
Union Pacific ; abe that Mr. Dickinson , the
present superintendent , will probably bo
promoted to some very high olllco : Mr.
Mellon made general manager , und Robert
Blickcnsderfer appointed general superin
tendent of the whole system within n very
short time. These , of course , uro but ru
mors , but based upon very strong circum
stmitial evidence. "
Klmbnll'H J'oH.siblo llptlrenient.
"I notice that TIIK BKK has published the
rumor that General Manager Kimball Is to
bo succeeded by Mr. Mellon , " rouiaikeda
well informed gentleman yesterday. "Such
is the talk among railroad men. Mr. Kim
ball is well advanced in years , nnd has al
ready been prostrated by the cares of the
onico Mr. Molten comes from n Now Eng
land road , and is sent hero through the in
fluence of President Adams and Director
Ames. The Adams-Ames inllnonco m all
powerful in Union Pacific affairs , and Mr.
Mullen has its nupiwrt. The road will not
likely dispense with Mr. Kimball. He is too
valuable u man , especially politically. The
talk Is that ho will bo given an honorable
position in which ho will act as counsellor. " .

PAYING KOU ItOAItI ) .
Tim Clialn Runt ; and Some Opinions
as Upwards tlio Ordinance.
The enforcement of the ordinance reccrtly
passed providing for the working of city pi Is-
oners upon the Bticets , was begun yesterday
Six vugs , under the ovcrscership of
Officer Putnskl , detailed for the purpose by
the chief of police , were set to work mowing
down the weeds along the sidewalks of West
Farnam street. At certain points along this
much frequented thoroughfare the dock , the
Jlmson weed nnd the dog-lcnnel have become
so exuberant ns to resemble n veritable for-
c'stnnd the chief ha.s exercised good Judgment
In oidoring them cut and called away.
As it Is , the ordinance in questionis looked
upon as n very judicious net Ion , yut there
seems to bo n question as to its constitution
ality. However , untested , it will operate
Just as beneficially as If it were the soundest
document ever drawn.
Ordinance No. 317 , section , provides that
nny nnd all persons who sliali loiter about
the city for the space of ten days without
having some known legal occupation or
means of support , and nil suspicions pcisons
who can give no reasonable account of thorn-
selves are usually termed vagrants , nnd
upon conviction shall bo deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor , nnd shall bo lined In any sum
notto exceed 30 and be Imprisoned for thirty
days.
Tlio state law provides that n man can ho
anested on sight as a suspicious character
or vagrant , and if ho cannot show visible
means of support , can bo convicted , Impris
oned and fined for the offense , and
hence are state's prisoners and not the city's.
Now , VO per cent of offenders run in and con
victed upon these charges nro done so under
the state law , nnd cannot bo worked or util-
i/ed upon the streets bi the city authorities.
The state pajs their board and the municip
ally cannot profit by their conviction.
Tlio new city law provides that an officer
shall be detailed by the chief of police and
put to work , but the work is to bo designated
and under the supervision of the board of
public works.
The Judges of the -district courts may pre
scribe i ules and regulations for the govei n-
ment of Jails nnd prisoners , nnd in this case
have inailo certain recommendations to the
commissioners , but the commissioners did
nothing until this morning , when they pur
chased n half d07on cheap scythes nnd sent
thorn down to the station house to be manip
ulated by the condemned in Judge Berka's
court.
Now the point striven at Is that the vags
aud suspicion characters convicted under
the state law cannot bo touched under this
city ordinance , and If they cheese to kick
and lofuso to work , they cannot bo compelled
to. They can only bo locked up in jail and
fed as the law prescribes until their time is
served out.

Second Production of Gllinoro's
"Twelve Temptations. "
There was more than a fair audience at
Boyd's opera house last night to witness the
second rendition of Gilmoro's famous spec
tacle "Twelve Temptations. " It can bo
safely said that it was a vast improvement
over the opening performance , which Is sayIng -
Ing a great deal. Its premier success , as is a
fact with nil elaborate spectacular affairs ,
lies in its redundance of scenery , and last
night the entertainment in this respect was
one of unusual splendor. Tlio mechanical
appliances all worked like a charm. The
rapid changes and general scenic prestidigi
tation something that was received with the
heartiest outbursts of approbation. The en
tire cast , as a natural consequence , was bet
ter at itself , and each and all acquitted them
selves with additional credit , anil the audi
ence seemed to appreciate fully the improve
ment that the whole performance had under
gone. _
A Sudden Death.
While sitting on the pp rch of his residence
nt517Popplcton avonu ouday evening , Max
Abrahams suddenly fell forward as if in
a fit , and after a few gasps ceasea
to movo. The members of the fam
ily rushed out , picked him up , and
found that ho had ceased to breathe. In
alarm , they sent for a physician nnd that
gentleman pronounced Abraham dead , giving
as the causa of it , the sudden bursting of an
nbccss in the throat. The sudden death has
been u blow to the family. Mr. Abraham
was born in Russian Poland fort.y-
eevcn years ago , and has been
in America twenty-live years. Twenty years
of that period ho has been in Omaha , nnd
was a prominent figure in Jewish circles. Ho
leaves a wife and eight children In comfort
able circumstances. His funeral occurred ut
3 p. m. yesterday.

Globe-Democrat : The saying , "Ho
wouldn't wake up if the house was
niiro , " Ls as old as the fabled hills , but
no ono believes that a man over oxibtod
with such extraordinary somnambulistic
powers. But Carondolot iilTordu a case
which is fully equal to such u one.
Theodora Cvainowski , the foreman of
Baylis' South St. Louis nurseries , was
enjoying a nap at his house , corner of
Pennsylvania avenue and Bates street ,
last Saturday night. His wife had been
reading until a late hour , when she
started down-stairs to secure the house
for the night. Looking down from the
landing , she saw two men abounding
stealthily. Ono party was evidently as
much surprised as the other. The bur
glars immediately pulled down handker
chiefs over their faces , making recogni
tion impossible. Mrs. C/.ainowski , with
a little feminine shriek , rushed to her
husband for protection. But ho didn't
protect very energetically , as her en
deavors to awaken him were fruitless.
The robbers followed the lady closely ,
rushed in , secured his trousers , toolc
them to the hall and ransacked them ,
obtaining SIO.'JO , and then tolling her
that it would be wise to go for a doctor ,
went down stairs and atu a hearty lunch ,
Still the sleeper slept on happily , obliv .
iousof the attempts to awaken htm ,
and of the freebooters' prescience , as
they , fearing the man was dead , volun-
tcnrod to assist in arousing him. Find
ing that their combined attempts were
futile and that ho betrayed unmistaka
ble symptoms of life by a snore that
would put a fog horn to shame , they
loft with their booty after many expres
sions of condolence.
It was fully two hours before Mr.
Cvainowski responded to the efforts of
his wife to arouse him , and ho then
loft the house und reported the matter
to the police.
