A SUP of the typos made TUB BBK

buining proportions of formidable op

to create a much more general and in

existed in Canada for years. Certainly ,

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

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.

Tlio l < ; Ue Sirs. Sherman.
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

The rich and those decorated with so

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-

looked far out upon certainties , and the
shores of the unseen world were as pal

carriages , and a detachment of the
president's cavalry in command ol
Pedro Goir/nlas Alaterro and his staff ,
which formed an escort for Iho presi

Infantry , cavalry and artillery. 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

seats on the approach of the chief mng-
istrato , remained standing during the
inaugural services in the same order as

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

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

mil oil lioliU beyond are reached.
The puoplo can have net Interest or do-

Ightly considered their interests ate
jltarly interwoven , both are equally
lopcndent upon the other. The people
ire perfectly willing that the roads

nvcstod. Hut the people Insist , and

this while the state was sparsely settled ,
but a time came when circumstances

Why this present attempt to forestall
