In the present temper of the country there could have been no illorancc more unfortunate for the Mirty that is dominated in congress , and n-tlio tidir.lnihtration by its boutheru element than a defense of slavery , the confederacy and sece'Hioii by a sen ator who was conspiculoufily identified vith the rebellion , and Is to-day an no- ( nowlodgod and honored loader of the southern wing of the democratic party. \Ve can conceive of no provocation which could excuse or justify a man at .bin time in defending secession and rebellion , and no man who will otter such a defense can fairly bo regarded is having been purged of the political tiercsics which brought on the great conllict for the life of the nation. The poison is still in his system , and it would Huom that if he has not been able tc eliminate it after more than a quartet of a century there is no probability ol Ills ever doing M > . Mr. Roapan is n man of superior ability. He has reached that time of life when cool judgmonl and wise discretion should prevail. Hi ; long and varied experience in public life should have taught him the folly ol yielding to passion , however great the irritation. But on one thing the Texas bunator is supremely sensitive , and thai is the confederacy and tlio policy 11 icpichontcd. lie believed in scccbsiot as a glorious and patriotic cause , and he M ) believes still. Ilehonoiod tlio coil' fcdoracy above the union , nnd ho think : its memory fatlll entitled to bo honorei by all who fought touphold , it. On al other themes Mr , Reagan may be calm and moderate and judicious , bu on this one he can bo neither for the love of tlio lost cause and tin admiration of its buried glories arc y < j strong with him. Mr. Reagan rogainet his citi/enship in the union , witii IK roaliuint or restriction upon his oppor tunitics , but he did not , as he should it good faith have done , dismiss forcvoi from his mind all rujurd for the groa crime against the union to which hi was a willing nnd.eerviqcablo party. Must not this exhibition of Senate Reagan's lingering and still strong at foctlon for the memory of the-confcdor acy inevitably suggest the qucstioi whether ho does not represent lh < great majority of tlioso who sup ported the confederacy and are nov foremost in the councils of the demo cratio party the men who made tin south solid and are keeping it BO b ; methods -which deprive thousands of It citizens of their political rights ? Is no every southern senator and rcprcsenta live in full sympathy with the view avowed by the Texas senator , and an not such views necessary .to politico success in the south ? Mr. Rongai should have been loss imprudent of hi bpecch and borne with a wise pationci the prodding and goading of thoa-epub liciuib. The attention of the people i extremely acute at this tinn and they are giving full weigh to everything that is presontei to them. , It is not a favorable time fo defending secession and rebellion , however over great the aggravation offorei those who were parties to it.

There appeals .to bo quite as great i difference of opinion in Canada as ti the policy \to \ bo pursued .toward tin United States , In connection -with tin fisheries issue'as there is here regard ing what should bo done in dealing will Canada. Sir Jjohn Macdouald , the Ca na'dian prime minister , seems to havi heartily welcomed the .president's ' men aoo of retaliation. The 'political as cendanoy of the prime minister wa bqginning to bo fcoriously.throatenod b ; the agitation of commercial union which was making steady progress somewhat to the dismay of the loyalists Tlio threat of retaliation travi the movement ft chock and afforded in opportunity to Macdouald and his fol lowers to recover bomo lost ground wit ] the pooplo. The prime minister as tunned an attitude that had no featun of compromise in it nnd proposed a pol icy that would very surely have to b resented by the United States. 1 strong bid was made to the loyalty a Canadians and it has been very well re warded. Macdouald's vaunted policy c Canada for the Canadians has mad many converts in the few days nine Mr. Cleveland's message was made pull lie. Pretty much all talk c commercial union has ceased am imperialibin runs high. The peopl generally are reported to exhibit a degree greo of enthusiastic patriotism neve before equalled excepting -perhaps a the time confederation was onautcd All this is quite natural under the cii cumstancos , and perhaps commendable But the prime minister and the loyal ists ore not having it all their own waj There arc several representatives ( the liberals in the government , aiv thefeo are not in cordial concurrone with the attitude and policy of Sir Join "Macdonald. They undoubtedly rogan thet > e as being prompted largely o wholly by personal ambition , just as i is widely believed in this countr , that Mr. Cleveland's message wii a purely'political move. Tlio Caimdia prime .minister is most patriotically in clined to retain his position , and ho be Jloves the way to moat cortaluly accom jiUsh tills is tostrengthen thosonlimcn of jiuipeclaUmn , put Canada iu the att ! tudeof defianceand backed byEnglau fearlessly accept Iho consequences. Bu the liberal members of the govQrnraon are said not to Inko kindly to thi policy , and a dispatch from Ottawa say that a rupture in the cabinet is uotiic probable ! Meanwhile the British gov eminent has interfered in a wa likely .to curb Sir John Maodoi aid's zeal. It has called for full history of the relations botwoo the United States and Canada since th confederation of the provinces , inforn ation as to the probable effect on th dominion the propoged rouill tor .measures are carried out , and onjoine the utmost caution in every juoveuieii at present. Lord Salisbury is roportcc .0 have addressed Sir John MoDonali in very plain language relative to tin conduct ho is expected lo observe. Al this feiiggcsts that the British govonv men t pi opuses taking an active hand it the future of this controversy , and thai it docs not intend to become involved In any more serious complications bj reason of blunders on the part o Canadian statesmen who have political ambition to promote , There appears to bo no doubt that the ifoneral sentiment of Canada is favora L > lo to maintaining the past policy re [ raitling the fisheries dispute , but thii is not universal. There is a consider able feeling that it would bo n grave mistake and mibfortuno lo provoke re tulintion , but those who hold ibis viov are just now compelled to avow it in t minor key. Tlio interference of tin British government and .its injunctiot of caution com'oy the assurance tha there is not likely to soon arise atij cause for retaliation. Procl n Hint Ion Kxtruordlnnry. The proclamation of Chief Scavoy Si a remarkable document for more reas ons than one. The chief directs Cap tain Green to report to him the looali tics of all low dens , with names of keepers ors and owners of the property. When is the line to bo drawn between tweon low dens , high dens and high low dons ? Haven't the localities am names of den keepers boon known ti the police all the time , and does not UK police court record of fines furnish tin desired information as to disordorl ; houses , keepers and inmates ? If not why not ? Another feature of tin chief's proclamation is the order ti Captain Green and the police gonorall ; to report the names of all the men am all the women who nrer not legally married riod , but who pretend to bo and are llv ing together as man and wife in hotels boarding houses and private rooms This is a job which will keep Cap lain Green and his police very busy They will have to masquerade in citizens clothes as detectives and quarter them selves in the various hotels nnd board ing houses , and spend their nights ii looking1 ovortho transoms to hoc whctho the right man is lodged Ju the righ place.They will have to rummageamoui the closets und bureau drawers in ever room occupied by married women an women that claim to be married , to in spect their marriage licenses and se whether or not they are genuine aiv the seal of tlio olllciating justice i properly fixed. In case they find mormon woman , they will 'Jiavo to bem out to Utah to learn whether she ha boon "scaled. " Another vary striking feature of th chief's now famous proclamation is th instruction .to Captain Green and th police to shudo.v all profession ! ) and business men who frcquon disorderly places , and icpoi their names to him in writing , a boon as convenient. This order wii keep Captain Green and the balance c the horse marines vary busy and ma compel the chief to make requisition o the police commission 'for ' addition : memorandum books , stationary an clerical absibtanco.

"Well , in the first place , Mr. Stono'B resif nation AVUS handed in to the managing dlroe tors of the 'Q' the ilrst of thu month. 0 course general knowledge of thu fact was suppressed , and the direct ors have been since then seluctin his successor. At the time I first saw yo everything pointed to General Manage HolUrcgc , of the B. & M. , as the man wh would step into Mr. Stone's place. A majoi ity of the managing directors were favorabl to him , but Chairman Forbes objected , am that accounts for the selection of auothe man. " "But If a majority of the directors wor friendly to Mr. Holdrego why" but their tcrviewcr was Interrupted. "You must understand-that In matters o this kind influence is often more than nun : bers. Mr. Forbes is the heaviest iudividuu stockholder of the 'Q.1 Ho is chairman hot of tha full board of directors ( if I reineuibo rightly ) and of the managing board. Ho ha long been the master xpirit la the manage meiit of the corporation , and you can reaelil , see how bis colleague * would naturally dofq to his opinions and submit to his wishes. " "But why sliould.ho object to Mr. .Hold rcdgo ? " "Oh , I don't ' pretend to know everything,1 responded the gentleman with a laugh. "On of his reasons wus this : Huuld not bclicv it policy to select anyone now connected wit the 'Q.1 system. The foreso of that argumcu doo3 not appour on the surface , and I can' .tell what , if anything , was bouoatli it. " "Well , wasn't there a better reason thai tuaU" .persisted the Inquisitor.

U'hc greatest interest hero Is taken In thu formation of a company who projo o to solid ify the oil into bricks so that it mjy bo transported - ported In the ordinary cars lo any pMnt and there used for fuel or for any other purpose desired. The company Is ( Innncinlly able , and will have an cWclont superintendent who has spent two years in the oil Holds of southern Russia , learning all the details , and it wa ? b.v his loporl that this point was selected as the scat of the operations of this company. This movement means cheap fuel at unco for the thousands who arc now compelled to pay tribute to the great coal monopolies , and the developments of this pioneer organization will bo watched with the keenest interest by all. Mr.Woodsonof Birmingham , Ala. , has been hero to select a site for a huge company of iron men from Birmingham and Denver who propose to develop the iron lutoiosts at Bos- seiner. The company have a paid up capital of $100,000 , and will eiect a largo blast fur nace and other buildings suitable for thu treatment of iron ore. and will probably employ a force of from UK ) to 150 men constantly. Mr. Woocisou i ( turned to Hltingham yesterday to make ) final arrangements for moving the company's ' plant to this point. Mr. Peter Ullrich , of Omaha , has junt let the contract for the erection of a magnlllcent brick block on the corner of Fourth and Broadwnj. The building will bo 100 bv ll'J feet , two stories high. The front will ho brick with stone tiininimgs nml will bo a credit to any city. Mr. Ullrich informs mo that ho already has a dozen chances to rent the building. Ford and Murray , of Omaha , will open a largo brick yard in a few duvs and will run two shifts of men in order to till contracts al ready made. The Wyoming Improvement company , who owned the town alto , aru now erecting a largo and commodious building Jor the gen eral ofllces ofthe company. Mr. iF. . Suickley , of Geneva , Neb. , one of the com pany , is superintending the work. The Union Partita train robbers have not been captured yet , but it is tlio general im pression that they are still in the hills , and u do/en parties from this vicinity nro still out hunting them. The regular harvest excursion of the I'lk- horn , which occurs on September 11 , will , no doubt , bring a ruf.h of people to this point. Tickets will bo sold at all points cast of the Missouri river , at ono faro for the round trip. In closing this , my last letter from BCSSQ- mor , I would urgu upon all Hint if they clo- sire to speculate in .real estate , If they wish to open up business in what promises to bo the futnio city of the -Hills , or have any desire sire to better their circumstances , that they would certainly do well to Inveatigato the extraordinary opportunities at Bessoiner , Wyo.

They propose to encourage ) manufacturers , , push the development of thu country and to build up a c-ity hero at the gateway to Wyoming that shall ntnnd as Omaha does to Nobraskn and Kansas City doos-to the southwest , and the company , 1 understand , are financially able and willing to exert ovcrj effort to ac complish this most-desirable result.

AMUSEMENTS. Perfection Attained in the Presenta tion oJ'SobnRtopol. The managers of the Slcgo nf Sebastopol have brought that superb exhibition OH neat to infection every ( detail as Is iwrhaps possible tojjot , and-thu universal verdict is that It is the most realistic , thrilling and beautiful .production .over witnessed in this section. .Tho .scenic . representation of the city anil ite fortifications of Sebastopol is grand andJmimaing , and gives a very faith ful idea of the once almost Impregnable stronghold , the scene of unsurpassed valor on the part both of its defen' dcrs and assailants during nearly ayoar of almost dully bombardment and as sault. The movements of bodies of soldieia representing the Russian and allied armies , and a series of performances intended to illustrate the way in which the allies cele brated their victory , first demand the atten tion and arouse the interest of the audience. Gradually the scene is tilled with boldiors , so grouped as to form a most brilliant entcm- bio. The specialties finished , the signal for the bombardment is given by bombs dis charged from the outer fortifications , which uro immediately replied to by the war vessels of the allies. The great conllict that is to determine - termino the futo of Subautopol 'has ' begun In earnest , and the least Impious- ! bio auditor cannot but be thrilled by the 'fierceness of the mimic battle. The booming cannon , thu bursting bombs , the exploding magazines sending out angry flames , the sharp crack of musketry , the cheers of tlio soldiers as they rush to the assault , the hand- to-hand conflicts , the burning city , the crumbling walls , the Russian retreat and the Until shout of victory all Ilils presents a maguiticont and realistic picture niont inter esting and thrilling , Tlio exhibition con cludes with a display of such superb fire works us only Pain & Sons can present.
