CONCLUDED.
WnBhlnjrtotfndvicos report that the
secretary of state has been notified ot
the conclusion of n treaty at Berlin
relative to Samoa. According to the
statomcrit the result of tho' confaronco
Is n very complete triumph of the
American demands. This was fore
shadowed in dispatches of last week ,
which represented that nt tltat time
about everything the American com
missioners had asked for had boon con
ceded , and that the only chanoo of seri
ous dispute would bo ever the de
mand of Germany lor indemnity
from the Samoans for the killing
and mutilation of Gorman sailors. It
would appear that this matter had been
disposed of without any difficulty ,
The vital points in the American con
tention were that the uutonomy of
Samoa should uo restored and maintained
(
tained , nnd that the nations having in
terests there should bo on n perfect
equality as to the enjoyment of rights
in the islands. There were incidental
requirements , but those were the prin
cipal points which the American com
missioners were instructed to demand
nnd insist upon. They involved the ne
cessity of Germany ngroofng to the res
toration of the government which it
nnd deposed ami n. surrender of rights
it had usurped. There can bo
no question that there was a very
strong case against Germany , the con- <
fluct of that power in Samoa showing
clearly a design to brin ? the islands
absolutely under Gorman control , nnd
t is by no means incredible that Bis
marck , knowing the indefensible char
acter of the policy that had been pur
sued , decided to dicuss the American
demands merely as a formality and
then concede thorn , hoping , per-
: iaps , only to bo indemnified for
OS3OS claimed to "havo resulted
'rom the aggressions of the natives. It
s not reported whether oven this was
accorded Germany , and indeed it is
hardly to bo supposed it would bo , sim
ply upon the representations of that ,
government , and without a thorough in-
estigation.
Tnoro has boon some criticism of the
course of the United States in having
anything to do with the question of who
should rule in Samoa , the contention
being that it was a matter which
this sovornmont , to bo consistent with
its principles , should have loft
to bo determined by the Sa
moans , there being two parties , or
factions , in the island. "There is
unquestionably some merit in this view ,
but it loses sight of the fact that in
order to got rid ot the dominant influ
ence of Germany in Samoan affairs it is
necessary that those whom Gorman in
terests have favored shall give place to
those whom they have antagonized. To
have remitted the selection of a ruler
to the native population would undoubt
edly have boon to continue , and per
haps increase , tho'chaotic political con
dition in the islands , with the ultimate
result , very likely , of requiring the in
tercession of the three powers to bring
about order and establish the govern
ment.
Tho"success of the United States in
this matter , oyon though it should bo
found when the agreement is .made
public to bo less complete than now ap
pears , is duo to the obvious fairness and
justice of its principal demands and the
indefensible policy of Germany. The
practical benefits to this country may
not bo of such great importance as has
been assumed , but a principle has boon
sustained worth all that the olTort hus
cost , and the United States will stand
better before the world for having with
firmness und dignity insisted upOn'hav-
its rights.recognized and respected.
INFLOW OF ENGLISH CAPITAL.
There are indications that an unusu
ally large amount of English capital is
soaking investment in this country.
There appears to bo no doubt that some
of it has found its way into the brewing
interest , which may bo accepted ns an
evidence of the pro'litablonoss of beer
manufacture , but this foreign capital is
not being confined to anyiono channel.
It is seeking anything and everything
which promises to ylold a fair rate of
interest , and doubtless oven specula
tive enterprises do not fail to ro-
celve consideration. The roproscntativo
of a syndicate of English capitalists i s
quoted as saying that there never was
a time when there was so much Eng
lish capital waiting for investment , the
owners of which are willing to invest
in any American enterprise which , will
insure a fair rate of Interest. His mis
sion to this country is to look up such
investments , and there are * doubtless
many others engaged in a Ilka service.
This is another evidence of the
great prosperity England is haying
in 'all her industries. Her iron
trade has not been as active before
in many years ns it is at pres
ent , and her manufacturers are realiz
ing prices that pay a muoh better profit
than the American manufacturers are
getting , unlosH it bo those at the south ,
' .yhb activity in this branch of industry ,
of course , is most favorable upon tin *
coal trade , which is u source of largo
prosperity. The important industry of
ship building is also remarkably active ,
and , in short , England is enjoying ex
ceptional industrial prosperity , which is
giving steadyand'remunoriitivo employ
ment to labor , and adding rapidly to the
nutloii'e wealth. The accumulation of
capital beyond what homu enterprises
can profitably employ , is seeking an
outlet , and it appears that there IB a
disposition to place u liberal share o ! it
in the United States.
Doubtless opportunities for invest
ment will be found , but the circum
stances in this country at present arn
not altogether favorable to the em
ployment of a very great amount of
foreign capital in regular and legit
imate business enterprises. There is .a
largo amount of idle capital in thitf
country , dun to a condition of affairs ,
the , reverse of thut ousting in Eng
land , with which the foreign
capital must compete nt some
disadvantage , so far ns legitimate en
terprises are concerned. But project ?

created'to absorb generously ihlp Eng
lish capital , if its owner * an ; disposed
to venture , and U will not be surprising
if such projects are deVoloptiil'iu A uou-

There Is in the relative Industrial
nnd commercial conditions of England
and the United States ut this tlmo much
suggestive material fpr the consider
ation of economist1 ] nnd statesman , nnd
it should rocclvo the careful attention
of those who , a few months hence , will
renew the discussion of our fiscal policy.
Tltn people ot the Pacific coast are
dissatisfied with the seal Industry as
now conducted in Alaska. The sena
torial committee taking testimony on
our relations with Canada has boon told
by nearly every disinterested witness
that the monopoly enjoyed by the. pow
erful Alaska company is doing moro
harm to American intorpsts than all
the poaching committed in the
Bohrlng sea by , tlio British.
n viawof the international prominence
ivhlch the sealing question has.nl ready
assumed , wo nnticlpato that the ro-
ation of the Alaska Seal company to
the United States government will bo
given wldo publicity. The fanning out
of the exclusive right to taKe seals , to
tha Alaska Seal company , is a gross In-
ustico to the people of this country.
Per a comparatively small bonus con-
ress hns , in thn face of public protest ,
ratified contracts with the Alaska Seal
company by which that concern is reap
ing millions of dollars annually by vir
tue of itS'inonopoly. It is therefore to
bo hoped that In the investigation
growing out of the alleged rights of the
British to take seals in the Bahring
sea , public sentiment will bo so aroused
as to force congress to annul , as soon as
possible , the powers excised by the
Alaska Seal company * Whatever maybe
bo the outcome of the dispute between
America nnd England , ono thing is
clear , oor government should take
charge of the seal fisheries nud permit
citizens of this country without distinc
tion to engage in the Alaska sealing in
dustry if they so choose.
TnK addresses with which ministers
to foreign courts accompany the presen
tation of their credentials are usually
of the most formal and commonplace
character. Mr. Thomas , minister to
Sweden and Norway , made something
of a departure in presenting his cre
dentials to King Oscar. Ho entertained
his majesty with an eloquent address , in
which ho paid a merited compliment to
the Scandinavian population of the
United States. "No people in the
world , " said ho.flrocoivo a warmer wel
come on our shores , none make bettor
citizens of our republic than" the sons
and daughters of the lofty north. They
bring with them the honesty and in
dustry , the patience and fortitude , the
hope and valor , the love of . .truth and
fear of God , that * have ever distin
guished the Scandinavian and illumi
nate the pages of history. " It was a
hearty , generous and just tribute to a
people who are among the most useful ,
loyal and worthy of American citizens.
THE inquiry into hvo stock rates on
Chicago railroads brings into promi
nence the supreme selfishness of that
city. Although the railroads have'in
every possible way catered to her desires -
sires to control the products of the west
she is constantly clamoring for addi
tional favors. She would place every
city in the west under her heel and
crush out every commercial competitor.
Her packers say that the receipts of live
hogs are not sulllciont by half to keep
the packorios running , and they de
mand that the rates on dressed meat bo
raised so that stock will have to bo
shipped direct to that city. None arose
so blind as those who will not seo. The
supremacy of Chicago as the porkopolis
of the country is on the wane , nnd she
cannot regain her vantage ground by
any possible discrimination which the
railroads can impose. The packing
center of the country has moved to the
Missouri valley. It is there to stay ,
and the combinations and lamentations
of Chicago can not prevail against it.
TnK pressing necessity of gathering
the crops in Hayti , for which the sol

surrection. But apart from this , trust
worthy advices show that Hippolyto has
the upper hand , with every probability
favorable to his bringing the conflict tea
a speedy termination. A good deal
may depend , however , upon how ho shall
treat the possible demands of bis. sol
diers , who arc reported to bo manifest
ing a aosiro for rapine and plunder.
Treachery is a condition to bo expected
at any time among the Haytians , It
seems probable that the state depart
ment IB advised that the insurrection in
the black republic Is about to end , and
under circumstances that will not re
quire the sending of the proposed com
mission.
OMAHA , has an abundance of capital.
There are millions of idle money in her
bank vaults. But Omaha needs public
spirited capitalists who are willing to
reinvest their moanshi commercial and
industrial enterprises that will afford
employment to wage-workers and sup
ply the arteries of trade with a vitaliz
ing cunont. Look at Sioux City and
Donvor. They do not possess half the
resources of which Omaha can boast.
Their tributary commercial territory is
not half as extensive. But their monet
ot means are liberal and -wide awake.
They do not fold their bands and wait
for foreign capital -to inaugurate great
enterprise ! * .

LINOOI.\ , May 00.1
Juit before 13 o'clock , last night , a fast
freight train on the Uurllngton railway col
lided with a switch engine in the company's '
loworynrds. The engines came together with
torrlflo force , throwing'a number of the cai-s
of the Incoming tram oft the track , and the
ftroman , P. M. Cross , was almost instantly
killed. Engineer Sheoloy jumped at the
first signal of il HIIRO r , or , doubtless , ho ,
too , would have mot with a Ulto ter
rible death. The accident occurred on
J street , exactly on the Union Pacillo
crossing. Train No. SO , running bo-
twoou Chicago and Denver , is a fast freight.
It came in last night In charge of Conductor
D. U. Purkos , and rolled Into the yards at n
spocd of eight to ton miles per hour. The
engineer and fireman , however , wcro
strangers In the yards. This was their llrst
night on the Lincoln-Hastings run. Trains
wcro supposed to stop at the crossing , but
this ono did not , because the engineer was
not nwaro of Its location and evidently mis
understood the signification of the lights ,
otherwise thcro would bo n clmnco for crim
inal cnrlcssucss to attach. Switch engine ,
No. 210 , was moving toward the incoming
train , and the engineer uduilts that ho know
that it was coming , but said ho thought thcro
was plenty of time to got out of Its wav , and
thcro would have been had it not made Its
usual stop at the crossing. This , however , was
not done , owing , It Is urged , to the fact that
the now men were unacquainted with tbolr
bearings. When first soon by thorn the
switch engine was some distance nwtiy. The
raold drive , however , brought the two on-
glues upon each other , and Engineer Sliooloy
says ho told his fireman to jump , as soon as
ho saw n collsion was inevitable ,
whistled for brakes , reversed his en
gine , held the throttle for a moment and
then swung himself between thu cab and
tender , and jumped , escaping with a sprained
ankle. The fireman delayed too long and
the engines came together with a crash that
was hoard all over the yards. Tno tender of

The Notorious llerold Failure.
The failure of Christam G. Herold , a
elothinc merchant of this city , In the winter
of 1884-5 , and the complications growing out
of his failure , are no doubt tresh In the
minds of many of ou r readers. Now interest
has boon added to that matter by a recent
decision of Judge Chapman , tn a case tried
"before him 4ome months since , and which
was decided at the last term of court.
It will bo > remembered that shortly after
Herold's failure rumors became rife of u
gigantic conspiracy on the part of Horold
and others to defraud his creditors.
'Ihoso rumors implicated Dr. O. H. poggo ,
a well known Gorman physician of this city ,
and it was charged that ha had instigated
and assisted in the fraud and had received
largo sums of money from Herold to save
from his creditors. The fact that Herold
had confessed judgment in the county court
in Doggo's favor to the amount of $5,000 , and
that Doggo had received his money on the
same and had shortly after gene to Europe ,
seemed to substantiate the rumors. In the
fall of 1SS5 complaint was made against
Herold , and ho was put under bonds to the
district court to answer the charge of de
frauding his creditors.
Dr. Doggc received information of the
charges made against him in connection with
Horold , and returned to this city in the fall
and was also arrested and bound over to
answer the chnrgo of accessory. The
c.iso of Horold was tried first and
it was shown that ho had received
and secreted a largo amount of goods. Ho
was found guilty and sentenced to a
term In the penitentiary. Dr. Doggo was
tried at the same term of court for complic
ity in Horold's oltenso , and nttur n pro
tracted trial was found not guilty. Almost
immediately after the acquittal the doctor's
wife purchased property on the corner of
Tenth and I' streets , nnd the doctor opened
a hospit-.il there. Not satisfied with the
decision of the jury , a largo number of
creditors of Herold began proceedings by a
creditors' bill against Horold and Doggo
and wife , to subject this property to their
claims. The case was hotly contested , and
occupied much time in its trial , witnesses
being brought hero from Wisconsin by Dr.
Doggo. After all the testimony was in on
both sides , the plaintiff obtained a lease to
reopen the case and take depositions of wit
nesses In Wisconsin. Voluminous deposi
tions wore taken and the case was finally
submitted to Judgu Chapmim , who , in De
cember , 1837 , decided In favor of the plain
tiffs. An appeal was ut once taken by the
defendants to the supreme court , where
the case was urguod last fall and where it Is
stilt pending. During the pendency of this
suit a suit w s begun by Messrs. Uilllngs &
Woodward against C. G. Herald and his wife
to secure the foreclosure of n mortgage upon
Heroid's' homestead. This mortgugo was
given to Christian Slmofor , und by him as
signed to Dr. Doggo , about the tlrnu of Her
old's failure , and by Doggo assigned to Hill
ings & Woodward. Shortly after this suit
was uogun the plaintiff's wore surprised to
hava the note and raortgago turn up in the
hands of the first National bank of Plutts-
mnuth , who claimed to have purchased it of
Horold , The Herolds answered by admit
ting the execution of the note and the mort
gugo , averring that it was part und parcel ot
the fraud attempted to bo ( perpetrated upon
tbo creditors of Harold , and that
all the money used intno trans ,
action was C ! . G. Horold's , This same
note and mortgage figured extensively
In the original case nruinst Dr , Doggo and in
the suit of the creditors , and the Herold's all
testified that It was fraudulent. The uaio
of Hillings & Woodward was consolidated
with I. Neil & Co. vs Herold , and the de
cision by Judge Chapman determined both
cases. The judge made elaborate findings of
fact , of which the following Is a brief synop
sis ; '
First. That the claim of William Horold
on u inortguKO was u Jim lien on the
promises.
Second , That the note and mortgaga givvn
to Christian Shaofor was iasued without
fraud us between the parties to the bult , un.t
that Slmofor paid $ -5,5UJ to Hurold , und thut
It Is wholly duo and , mi paid.
Third. That O. II. Doggo uubsoouontly became -
came owner of said not * und mortgage by
indorsement , bcforo duo to him , for n yalu-
able consideration , nnd tbo same was either
lost or stolen from him , and wrongfully came
Into the hauls of AnnloK. Herold or C. G.
Herold without any consideration bolng paid
'thtirofoi * .
Fourth. That the t'irsv National bank , of
Plattsmouth , is not the owner of said note
and mortgage , and took the same under sus-
plclous circumstaucos : that the imitllatod
mul sollud upuonrunuo of the noln and mort- .
cugu und the fact that It wa In tun ctistoily
of tfio uwki < r : that they wcru notoriously
Insolvent liud other circum tiinco under
which U was pledged to the bank imt'.btt
bank on Innulry ua to whether U u. Herold
unit Anmo U Horold tvoru tno rightful
owner * of the note und mortsago and hud
oriJihttasuH the amu.
Tlu > ooutt held that the Hun of Hllllncs
Woodward wan the locond lion , and that the
lion of I. ( Nell & Co. , was the third lion , and
ordered the promUos Bold nnd the claims paid
In this order. No appeal was taken by C.
G. Herold nnd Annlo E. Horold ,
they bolng sntlsflod with the result ,
and taking n stay. The First National bank
ftavo nbtlco of appeal , but the matter was
then compromised nnd their interest as
signed to Ullllnes & Woodward , nnd the stay
of execution taken by Horold was 'with
drawn and the promises are now advertised
for sale.
This finding of the court agrees with Dr.
Do go'a testimony , which was to the effect
that the note was for n valuable considera
tion , and that It was stolen from him by the
HoroUls nnd not missed until some tlmo
after. The outcome of the case now pending
before the supreme court Is nwitltcd with
much Interest , as upon its dnclslon depends
all the property of Dr. Doggo und wife , as
well as their reputation.
Only a Physlolnn'a Skeleton.
A ripple of excitement was created this
morning by the announcement that a skele
ton had been discovered in an outhouse on
the alloy between O nnd N street , bacK of
Porkln's Uro's. boot and shoo store. It
seems that n cnrpontcr had boon put at work
to repair the outbuilding. It had six com
partments , ono of whlcli was locked nnd
barred. On bursting the door open the
carpenter was horrified to discover n skele
ton of n boy , probably twelve years of ago ,
nnd tin proceeded to call In passors-bytho Pro
prietors of the boot and shoo store , nnd
finally notified the pollco forco. Some of its
mcmhors wore soon nt the pluco with the
patrol wagon , and the skeleton was at once
loaded into it and taken to the station. Fern
n time there was such an nlr of mystery
about it that all sorts ot rumors wcro put in
circulation , but Investigation led to the dis
covery that the skeleton belonged to a physi
cian of tbo city , und the excitement was no
longer at fever boat. It was then remem
bered , also , that the same skeleton created a
furore about n year ago ; and to prevent a
rccurrcnco , the pollco force dug n hasty
grave In some obscure spot , and that ancle-
ton will bo known no more.

When with some soap a salesman bold
Comes in your place to there unfold
His samples , nnd proceeds to say :
"This equals , sir , in every way
The IVOUY ; 'tis made in fact
By thu same formula exact ;
* Tis just as white , indeed the man
Who makes this soap by perfect plan.
Has made the IVOKY oer ) and o'er
For Procter & Gamble 'heretofore.
Besides , this soap brings to the tilt
More profit than the Ivoiiy wilL"
He means to use by such a game ,
Your reputation Jinil Rood name
A fraud or counterfeit to sell
Of what la known and proven well.
This means his soap will never go
On its own merits fast or slow ;
And you , like him , the truth must toss ,
Clean overboard , or sell at loss , [ land
It means still more , that throughout the
The IVOKY SOAF'S in great demand.
For none chase with imitations frail
An article that has no sale.
And who for counterfeit will pay
The price of u'nuine goods to-day ?
Then whence can thu advantage flow
Or how can you " more profit" know ?
Reply to all who do intend
To use you thus to gain their end :
° When you for your own soap creatt' .
Upon its worth demand as gieat
As IVORY SOAI * this day can claim ,
I'll buy , should trade require the same ;
But have no time , I tell you true ,
To introduce your soap for you ,
And customers perhaps offend
With goods I fear to recommend. "
Don't buy the soap that salesmen say :
11 Is like the IVOKY every way , "
For grocers can this talc unfold
Of every hundred cakes they sold
. On seventy-five a loss they bore ,
I Or else it ne'er had left their store.
A WORD OF WAKNING.
There arc many white sop.ps , each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory' i"
they ARE HOT , but like nil counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for " Ivgry" Soup and Insist upon getting it.
