Tun bagging trust' which lias in ad a such n liii/.lo of it has got its members in a slew. The authorities of Shelby county , Tennessee , have indicted cer tain nci-bons connected with the trust for conspiracy , and a criminal trial mings over their heads. THE appointment of Mr. Henry .Tamos to the full control of the editorial col umns of the Ilorald is not only a mer ited recognition of u young journalist of more than average ability , but an as surance that the' conduct of the paper will bo in clean hands. A SUP of the typos made TUB BBK sny yesterday that many citr/.ens de sired the relocation of Port Omaha. The idea intended to bo convoyed was tlmt there is a very general sentiment in Omaha against the movement look ing to the relocation , which is as- buining proportions of formidable op position. _ _ Ix consequence of the atriIce of rail road engineer : } on the Montana Central railroad , the great Anaconda mine and hinoltor works liavo boon , closed , and eighteen hundred men have been thrown out of employment. The strike is the proximate cause , but the ultimate cause is lack of fuel , which is general in the mining regions of that part of Montana. Tim Omaha and Council Blufl' Bridge company is dissatisfied with the rates of transit Jlxed on the motor line be tween the two cities. That might have been expected. The company , after giving the people an assurance that the rates woultl bo low for a single trip , and gaining valuable franchibesand a bonufa on the strength of it , now has the im pudence to ask for a higher tnrlu"rate. . Tmsiiis is evidently u strong fooling ! > in Canada against annexation , despite the fact that there is a party iu favor of it. The Toronto Globe thinks that the olToct of an American attempt to bring about annexation either by force , or by retaliation , or by negotiation , will be to create a much more general and in tense anti-annexation fooling than has existed in Canada for years. Certainly , if Canada wants to come into the United titntcs , the overtures must come from hoi- . OhOSiiiiY on the heels of Dakota , \VashlngtonTorritory presses her claims for admission into the union. With a population estimated by the forty-six thousand votes cast at the recent elec tion at over two hundred ana thirty thousand , the territory lias a larger number of inhabitants than Nevada , Delaware or Rhode Island and crowds Florida and Oregon , Moreover , Wash ington Territory is second only to Da kota in growth and development and bids fair soon to equal either Oregon or California as an enterprising state. A NATUUAI.-HOHN liar cannot toll the truth when the truth is known to every one. Our amiable Douglas street con temporary belongs to this species of iniuulacious creatures. After Tim DICI- : hits published Die full text of the ordi nance ot the city hall , which does not contain one word about bonds , but clearly sots forth tho. location , it re peats the falsehood tlmt the question of the lootion had never boon passed Upon ilircotly by the people , excepting as a bond proposition , Its stato- inont that the Meyers plans Jmvo been abandoned is equally fulso. On that point Judge Donne hus overruled the council and expressly de clared that while theuo pias may bo modified they cannot bo abandoned without the consent of the people by whom they vroro ratified. x /A * Tha corrupt uao of money in elec tions is undeniably a serious evil , rtnd if n practicable remedy can bo found it should bo applied. But the evil is not ROW , and its present discussion is not the first it has received , yet no ndequato remedy has been found. It is claimed that more money was used in the late election in corrupting voters than over before , and that especially in Indiana the evil was extra ordinarily developed. It is quite possi ble this may bo true , but at any rale the subject is bolng generally dla- cuiicd with all the deprecatory earnest ness of past discussions of it , and it mny nt least bo hoped that it will not he wholly without results , despite the homowhat discouraging experience thus far. General Ilovey , governor-elect of In diana , is one of those who talco very positive grounds against this for.n of corruption , llo states that in his mes sage to the legislature ho will "tulle right out about the corrupt use of money for election purposes , " and al though the legislature is democratic ho promises that it cannot enact any laws too stringent for him in the direction of purifying elections and protecting the ballot. He would disfranchise for ever every man who 5 < 3 concerned in giving or receiving a bribe , and in ad dition to dUfranchisomant would send to the penitentiary every nrin con victed of male ing a second attempt at bribery or corruption. As a precaution ho would make it impossible for one man to bo within fifty feet of another when depositing his vote , so that those who bought votes could not have any guarantee of delivery and the incentive to bribery would bo largely destroyed. Wo suppos.o tlioro is not ftstato in the union without a law prohibiting and punishing the corruption of voters , and there are certainly such laws in the htates where the corruption is most largely practiced. Why is it that they arc so generally ineffective ? Kv-idently for the reason that as a rule both nitrties are about equally guilty , and neither U willing , except in most flag rant cases , to proceed against the other for fear of retaliation. As pointed out by Judge Gresham , in an inter view on this subject , the trouble is that the men wjio are primarily responsible for this sort of corruption always escape accountability. A few poor devils who have sold their votes aru now and then caught and punished , but the individ ual who supplies the money and is the real briber is never reached. A few oxamnlcb made of this class would , in the opinion of Judge Grcshnm , do moro to break up this system of corruption in elections than the arrest and punish ment of a few thousand of the wretched fellows who sell their votes. A free and pure ballot is essential to the preserva tion of our political institutions , and a discussion of methods to secure H can not bo wholly profitless. SHIRK BUS OF T One ot the measures which will un doubtedly come before the next legisla ture will be a bill for the taxatioa of the rolling stock and other property of the Pullman Car company. A bill was introduced in the last legislature look ing to that end , but agents of the com pany succeeded in killing the bill. The Pullman company protested against taxation on the ground that it main tained but one general headquarters , at Pullman , III. , where its rolling stock should bo taxed. It failed to prove , however , that all of its rolling stock was included in the list of properly handed in to the tax asscugor , and wo venture the assertion that a largo num ber of its cars now in use in this &tato , have never cost the Pullman com pany a dollar of tax here or elsewhere ; and we dare say , furthermore , that this habit of shirking taxation is not practiced in Omaha alone , but that it-is characteristic of the Pullman Car company throughout the country. And one of its customs , at all points where the people will tolerate it , is to excitbo itself from the payment of tuxe.i on the ground Unit payment on all of its prop erty has been made at its headquarters. The Pullman Car company is > not the only shirker of taxes. There are in this community other corporations and firms and individuals that either escape this burden entirely , or olfeo got off with the payment of a very small proportion of what ttioy should pay the state. But bocaubo others shirk this duty and defraud the public of what should be paid into the common fund , the conduct of the Pullman com pany is none the loss to bo condemned. At the next session of the legislature it is to bo hoped the reorcsontativos of the people of Nebraska will not fail to give this mutter the consideration it demands and compel the palace car company to contribute its just share to the support of the state government. It is a gross injustice to the people to per mit this great and grasping corporation to avoid its just obligations. SOUT/fERJV DAKOTA. There seems to bo a general agree ment among the people of southern Da kota with regard to contemplated action as regards admission to the union. They prefer to move independently , and to disassociate themselves altogether from the northern section of the present ter ritory of Dakota. They not only will not wait for united action , but they re pudiate it , and claim that veprcsontntivo men of the northern section have been their bitterest fees , and have during the past six years boon at the bottom of nil the opposition which has been made to the statehood of southern Dakota , It is a fact not to bo don led that there wore others besides democrats who made themselves excessively active in pre venting the people of southern Daicota from gaining statehood. There were republicans of Iowa and Minnesota who in secret caballed with the democracy for this disgraceful purpose. The object of those men was to pro vent the division of Dalcotu into two states , and to so harass the men of the southern section by constant opposition that they would nt last yield the point upon which their hearts are sot , and agree that there should bo but ono state. This was the democratic policy , of course , but why it should be the policy of republican pol iticians and be openly advocated by re publican representative newspapers in Minnesota demands a full explanation , which perhaps the press and politicians of St. Paul are ready to furnish , and perhaps they nro not. The size of Dakota and the amount of population make it expedient tlmt there should be two states , since the people ot the southern section ardently dcslro it. If they did not desire it that would niter the case. Texas is a pretty big state , but when the Now York ICcmhl jestingly proposed that it should bo cut up into four states to pivo the solid south a living share in the United States senate , there went up from the Lone Stnr state n perfect northor of curses and negations. But in Dakota the people of the southern section are at odds with the people of the northern section , and therefore they only claim what they are on titled to. when they demand to bo incorporated in asoparato state. The sympathies of Nebraska are with the men of southern Dakota , and nil the moro because it is possible to guess at the reasons that prompted the underhand and treacherous mnneu vcr- ings of the politicians of Minnesota. Wo shall not discuss them nor waste time in describing them with lilting adjectives , but shall content otuselves with the observation that the people of southern Dakota have been rootad in their desire for separate statehood by the opposition they have experienced for the past six years. So far from being tired out they are more dolor mined than ever not to unite in one state with the men of. Northern Dakota those prophets that dance when a railroad man pulls the strings. And as the ad vantages of population , and of resources , and of educational institutions , and of banking corporations arc in the south ern section , ttie people tiioro can bettor afford the delay of admission to the union than the people of the north who have been using a knife that cuts both ways. At present n the school lands cannot be touched , the burden of the high plan of education maintained in this admirable territory must be mot by high taxation very hard to boar in bad years. If the Northern Dakotans persist in their obstructive tactics , the South Dakotaus will play the same game , and the result will bo that those who are worst oit must give in first. TUB BEI : sincerely hopes that there will be a republican sentiment aroused before which the miserable tactics of obstruction to Southern Dakota will disappear. The republican part ) ' de sires two states of Dakota , and the threc- for-a-nickel politicians of Minnesota had bet tor get in their holes. S ltKr.UX'1'l.GSS HATRED. A London paper is responsible for the statement that under the pretense of military defensive operations the city of Warsaw , the capital of Poland when there was a Poland is to be reduced tea a fortress. All buildings save those within the military enceinte arc to bo destroyed , and the total population , numbering nearly four hundred thous and souls , is to bo expelled , with the exception of some twenty or thirty thousand peasants , presumably of Rus sian origin. Every Pole and every Jejv is to bo driven forth , and no provision whatever will be made to feed them or to aiTord them transportation , but they are to care for themselves. This simply means that they are todioof starvation , of cold and of exhaustion , for it is im possible that such multitudes could find shelter in the neighborhood , and It is certain that if they are expelled the railroad authorities will not oven sell them tickets to other cities. They are not only to be robbed of all that they pos cas , but they are to bo expelled un der conditions whicli will insure their perishing. Russia is greedy to hear of the annihilation of Warsaw. N It faoen.s impossible to doubt that the impending campaign against Austria is as much for the purpose of destroying the Polish element in the dual king dom as in resentment of Austrian rivalry in the Ballcan paninsula. Ono hundred thousand cavalry and three hundred thousand infantry are echol- onned against th-j Cialician fro'itior waiting for the nod of the white c/.ar to commence a career of conquest and ra pine. The Austrian government has found among the C/.ochs of Bohemia and Moravia and the Lucius of Galicia an admirable counterpoise to the over weening influence of the Magyar in the national djot. And this sudden renais sance of the Polish element has been viewed with bitter hostility by the Hus- biiins whose Pan-slavism exclude the C.-.echs aud Lochs because those have ever been rivals whoso influence was greater than tnolr own in many quar ters. The Americans will have diffi culty in comprehending the peculiar character of Pan-slavism , which is an effort to unite in the bonds of u common sympathy all who spoakany-dialect of the Slavonic tongue. The Slavons will not rally round u common center , but insiht on rallying round two centers , ono of which is the Polono-Bohomian , aim the other the Russian. The dialect of the sacred books is actually Serbian , but the Serbians nevertheless do not oxpcct other Slavonic nations to rally around them. Nor will they rally to the Itua- sians , although of the same church and using the same liturgy , but make common cause with the Austrians , which is tantamount to making common cause with the Polono-Bohomlan , who are Catholics and Proloslants. Thoio sympathies nnd repugnances are incom prehensible to ouUldora , but they are among the strongest features of the Sla vonic nature. And yet the whlto c/ar proposes to smother them by ukases , llemight-as well issue ukases against friction , gravitation and cohesion. Ifusbia is very desirous of having the moral support of the United States in the coming conflict. But how can , Americans extend it to a nation whoso treatment of the Poles shocks the moral consciousness of mankind i1 A MENACIKCI EVIL , The erection of the motor company's poles for the stringing of cables and wires has begun in Omaha. Within a short time ctovcral of our business streets will ho lumbered with n forest of low poles on which overhead wires will bo strung. It is high time to protest against this action of the motor company. The streets of Omaha are already now too thickly studded with telegraph , tele phone nnd other innsts and polos. Tha addition of the motor company's pole = will only add to the uuslghlHnoss , the nuisance and danger which threaten out business streets and adjoining property. It has boon proven time nnd again in large cities , tlmt n net work of over head wires seriously interferes with the fire department in case ot ft stubborn conflagration in six or eight-story build ings. Moreover , the snapping like pipe stems ot wires charged with deadly electric currents during snow and sleet storms menaces the life of man and horse , who should come In contact with the wires on the ground. For that rea- pen the Motor company should bo en joined from the outset. The city has a right to demand that this company place its wires underground , and the eily au thorities should prohibit the erection of the overhead system on our bu incs-a streets from the first. The leading cit ies of the country compel telegraph , telephone , electric light nnd electric motor fompanie.-t to siring their-wires in underground conduits , The time is near at hand when our local compmies will bo obliged to do the same. It is in consistent , therefore , to permit the motor or any other company to erect its poles and overhead wires on our busi ness streets when the cily is about to order all wires underground. TUP. legislature of Nebraska will soon bo called upon to revise out- election law-s. The ballot system in force in this state , as well as in the other states of the country , is faulty. KU'orU are being made in various commonwealths to purge elections of their bad ele ments. In Massachusetts ami in New York measures have been brou < rht be fore thoi- ! respective legislatures to correct election methods. The reforms are modelled upon what is termed UHJ "Australian ballot system. " Uirlor this method ballots are printed by the state and all candidates , nominated a certain fixed time before the election , appear on these ballots , and no other can bo used. Instead of having a .separate bal lot for each candidate , all the candi dates for one ofliee are printed on the same ballot and each voter marks his choice in a room by himself. This is a guaranty of secrecy. No ono can know how the elector votes , and in some elec tion laws under this system , the voter is prohibited from tolling how ho voted under penalty. The Australian method commends itself in discouraging the use o monev for elec tion purposes. A candi lite , in order to run under this system , is not put to the expense of plying for the printing of tickets or the peddling * of them at the polls. It moreover breaks up the evil tratie of buying voteso ; scandalous in our elections , as no ono can tell whether the votes thus bought have been de livered. THE Chcrokces ot the Indian Terri tory could leach their white brethren a thing or two in dealing with the cattle barons , for si nttmbur of years the Cherokee Cattle and Live Slock a > so- ciation had enjoyed frra/.ing privileges on the "Cherokee Strip , " for which it paid an annual rental of one hun dred thousand dollars a year , fn Octo ber the lease expired , ana the associa tion wanted to renew it on the old terms , to which the Indians would not listen. They fixed the rental at two hundred thousand a year , and as the cattle company had no other alterna tive , it was obliged , much against ita will , to accept those terms. STATIJ AND TK11KITOHY.

General Itovtuoir * Washington dis patch in C'ineinnatl Commi'reial Ga- HO I to : The death of Mrs. General Sher man causes widespread and most sincere sorrow in Washington. It is u sadness thai roaches down , and will bo most deeply felt among thu unfortunate nnd Unite who move in the lowly wuliss ol life. While the ollleial position of her husband gave her high standing and leading rank in the social scale , and while she commanded nnd possessed the respeet of all its circles , her heart was nuver drawn towards ita glitter or oven its moro solid attractions. She. was one of those who delighted most in going about doing good. To bo aetivo anil foremost in charities was to her a moro congenial work than to bo principal or assistant at brilliant receptions. The gems in her crown of rejoicing will be the tears which will fall from the eyes of thousands among the poor , the af- Ilietcd , and the humble as tnoy read of her death' . She was the. IWH ! prominent Catholic woman in the United States. There was no more devoted Christian in that organisation than Mrs. Sherman. She gave her strength and her influence to her church , and exerted them to their utmost , botli along the lines of its be nevolent work and in the counsels of the church , where she oxcrtod much power. She gracefully and faithfully performed all the social duties which nor position entailed upon her , but she gladly turned , a she could force oppor tunity , from those attractions which would have been as an earthly heaven to HO many , and foand her chief deliglit in being about the Master's business. The rich and those decorated with so cial rank respected her. The poor loved her. And so all classes in Wash ington will stand as true mourners by her grave. .She was Thomas Kwing's daughter. and ho was ono of the giants among Ohio men.

Mrs. General Sherman was a woman of deep religious sensibility , profound conviction and absolute sin cerity , and in her heart there was no faltering or misgiving. All religious truth was to her as sunshine. She walked in the sublime faith of the ro- sility of tlio unknown , and in her con sciousness grasped not hopes only , but looked far out upon certainties , and the shores of the unseen world were as pal pable to her as the solid earth , She was a lady whoso simplicity was the evi dence of her cultivation , and whoso de votion to her husband and children was' as admirable as if her whole life was absorbed in her relations of wife and mother. It was her happiness to be the Comfort and consolation of the general in the troubles of his stormy life , and no man over had companion moro lovely or champion more vigilant than she , or hoi per braver and brighter than she , and her share in his glory was al ways beautiful , and is the soft light in the splendor of his fame. The wedding of Lieutenant Sherman and Kllen , daughter of Thomas Kwing , secretary of the interior , was May 1 , 1850. Among the guests were President Taylor , Daniel Webster and Henry Clay.

The weather at the hour the bollh rung out their bra/en notes cm the air was chilly and the people ple who wore astir at this hour were mulllod in capos and blankets , and overcoats.

Only a few street decorations were HOCII that had been made the previous night. They consisted princi pally of Chincdo huituniH strung on wires iicrosB the street. From H o'clock until 10 military cadets and parades ot soldior.s passed through the prlnclptl streets of the city.

At 10 o'clock the provident loft hi5 Cudotui street residence in n carriage with Secretary Marlscal and Komen Hnblo and the other members of the cabiifot and members of the senate ami hou e committees.

As the body passed through the Btroels to the chamber of deputies , the sidewalks and balconies along the line were alive with people. The sound of a bugle an nounced to the people in the chamhei of deputies the approach of the party. It was just 10:1 : 1 o clock when Presi dent Porllrio Diaz entered the session hall of the chamber of deputies sup ported by Iho arm of a senator of the senate committee , lie was followed by Secretary Ipnacio Mnriscal , General Carlos Pueheco. General Pedro Htnu- jo n , Manuel Komero Kublo , Manuel Uubian and Joaquln lorando ! and sena tors and deputies.

After Qni hing Gen eral Vele/.o asked the usual ques tion pertaining to the protest , to ali which President Diaz replied in the aUirmativo. After the ceremony General Telu/o pronounced President Dinpicsidcut of the republic. The new president , nftcr shaking thu hands of General Vele/.e , with his cabinet , re tired from the chamber for a time. General Din/ did not enter thu room until the ceremony of inauguration was over. Five minutes had claused , and the spectators then arose from their seats on the approach of the chief mng- istrato , remained standing during the inaugural services in the same order as was obsur\ed in the approach to the chamber of deputies. The party escorting the president. li'ft the scene of the inauguration for Iho National Palace , passing through Canoa , Mancyqiie , Sun Jose. Deal and Cinto do Mayo streets , and bunding around the edifice above named. The streets through whicli the wesidcnt passed were kept clear by a line of sol diers. who were placed in sjngle file along either side of the entire route. In the Xoealo and on the sidewalks and balconies facing the public garden , thousands of people saw the chief mag i-Irate pass and enter the National Pal ace , wiieie , in Hmbassador's hall , he was congratulated hundreds of pee ple. During a throe hours' reception the Chamber of Deputies , the National Palace , the Palace of Justice and the Municipal Palace were covered with bunting , and over all lega tions lings were flying in honor of the newly elected president. An inauguration address is not custo mary , and llioro was none to-day. The national and municipal palaces and n number of private residences were illu * initiated , and a grand fireworks display was given in the Zoculo and from the cathedral towers. The inaugural ball is to follow , and will bo , perhaps , the grandest over given in the republic. Seventy-five thousand dollars will bo expended on it. The decorations arc magnificent. Three thousand invitations have been soilt out. It is stated that 500 Mexicans will furnish the music for the bull. Monday will bo given over to pleasures in this city. Bull lights , racing and other amusements are on tlio programme. Improper Iloldrege Progress : The law-making power of this stale will soon be in ses sion , and it is amusing , just now , to read the editorials of both metropolitan and country journals , in this state , who receive - coive their inspiration from the cor poration combine tiiathax for years past controlled and dictated legislation in this state. It is plainly to be discerned it is all prompted , indited and published with a view to bias and inlluuneo the recently elcctod legislators. These corporation * are wise in their way ; they appreciate the influence and power of the press to mold public opin ion , and to sway the action of men , es pecially scheming politicians. Uonco they manage , because thov have almost unlimited patronage to enlist influential dailies , in all our large cities , In their sorvic.oand then in nearly every Inland town and city they have at least ono organ that stands rundy , parrot like , to repeat what their masters dictate. The song , now being sung by these corporation organs , re tuned to the refrain - frain that the railroads of this stale are in danger of bniiifr injured and crippled by unjust legislation. Attorney Gen eral Leeso is lectured for his hostility , as they charge , against the railroads , etc. , etc. Hy u preconcerted action all Iho dailies in the btuto are informed that a certain loading corporation is going riirht ahead to build 160 miles of rail way extension. This is favorably com- mc'ntod upon , and hailed with delight by overybodj. Then , HUc a clap"of thunder' front a clear uky , eomoa the solemn warning that if any reduction of freights is attempted , or any un friendly legislation by thu law-making power , the work will bo stopped at mice. For what ? To spite and punish the unreasonable people. Do these corporations take the people for "chump1 They can BOO through a ' 'phantom club" quite clearly and rirnd the cunning scheme back of it. Pruy , toll us , IH this contemplated con struction , in mid winter , for the benefit if the pi-oplo , or is it not tomako prolit- ililu a long line of road through a finnd lull country , that can never bo made to li.iy expenses unless the rich coal , Iron mil oil lioliU beyond are reached. The puoplo can have net Interest or do- > lro to injmo the railroads. When Ightly considered their interests ate jltarly interwoven , both are equally lopcndent upon the other. The people ire perfectly willing that the roads .lunild earn a fair rolur.n on the cn/ital ) nvcstod. Hut the people Insist , and vith justice that thcro are two sldeo to his question , and that they should also invo a buy what Is just and equitable , ind not to loin u it entirely to the lp o lixlt of the well paid railroad nltor- ICVH. Tlioro never would have boon a con- lict hotwoon the railroads nnd tlio p o- ilo of this stale , hnjl It not boon inau- juratcd by tlio corporations In oxtort- ng outrageous freight chart'osi > " t' u first place. There wni nn excuse for this while the state was sparsely settled , but a time came when circumstances changed. The corporations in place of being directed l y a HOIISO of justice niiil equity , met tlio reasonable domnnds of the people by using tlioh' power nnd in- lluonco to subvert the will of the people - plo through the means of controlling nominations , elections , conventions ana legislatures. Why this present attempt to forestall nnd influence legislation ?

Hetrnin from sending any paid lobbyists. Do not open an."oil . room. " The people will have no ono there to lobby for thorn. The ropro Pontatives and senators-elect have no schemes of plunder and confiscation in view. If there should l > o any they tire no friends of the people.
