TO Tim moneyed men of Omaha : "Got tORothor. " To TIIK buainoss mon of Oinulm : "Qottoffothor. " FOH n dying mtm with but ono lung1 , Sitting Dull is altogether too lively. A HAiijHOAD to the northwest and a frco railroad bridco Omaha's future depends on them. IF Woodruff the Cronin euspoct would quit making confessions and toll the truth , there might bo some grounds for boliuving him. Tiiums.is a cheering promise In the crop reports sent out by the various counties of the state. Nebraska's horn of plenty will bo full to overflow ing. IT is a chronic complaint that St. ,1o- sopb. and Kansas City are cautuvinp the trade that rightly belongs to Omaha. There is n hinge loose somewhere in ouifwholcbulo district. Tnnm : should bo no lot-up in the preparations for Merchants'week this fall. It will take every day from now until the opening of the exposition to make the venture an artistic and finan cial success. WITHIN- few months at the farthest , the Sioux reservation will bo opened and n territory as largo as a state will soon bo filled with thousands of Bottlers. Those people must cut , sleep , > be clothed and bo supplied with the necessaries of life. The business mon of Omaha should loolc to it sharply that they bo early on the ground and pave the way for the great trade that must go somewhere. This territory is naturally tributary to Omaha , and she must not allow the clmnnelfa of trade to bo diverted. TJIK immediate improvement of the Now York postofllco service is of more than local interest. As the great dis- jiributlng mail center of ttio country , the Now York postolllco has vital con cern for the people of all sections. Postnmstor-Gonoral Wnnnmakor has thus early in his term recognized the necessity of adding to its facilities and making it a moro prompt and ofllclont agent in the distribution of the mails. The whole country is likely soon to fool the effects of the now arrangement , which would indicate tlio advantage of having a business man at the head of a strictly business ofllco. Tins soldiers' reunion at O'Neill will commence on the 19th and end on the 24th of August. This will bo the only re union north of the Platte this year , and it is expected to bo very largely attended. Provision will bo made for the free ac commodation of flvo thousand persons , and the exorcises provided for the on- tortalnmontof the veterans and their friends \yill include addresses by promt- pent men from different parts of the Country. The preparations made and contemplated promise a most enjoyable season to tho.'io so fortunate as to pur- tlclpato in the O'Neill reunion. Tun perpetuation of the national tanking system after the national debt shall have boon wiped out , will not bo the only important question discussed at the next annual convention of the American Banking association , in Sep tember. The keen competition of the 'trust companies 1ms already out deeply into the national banlcing business , WJthin the last few years the growth of these institutions ha ? oxoltod the at tention of financial circles. With moro freedom of action than national banks , they have developed into dangerous rivals to national banks , and have pponod a wide Hold for the profitable investment of capital. Now that it is announced that several now trust com panies are to bo started in Philadelphia and New York , which will allow inter est on deposits subject to chtiok , n revo lution in banking methods is throat- pncd , There can bo little question that the people will bo attracted by this ioheino and that it "will bo rapidly adopted by trust and savings companies all ever the land. Whether national banks will bo obliged to follow this in- novatlpn in order to hold deposits , will fie a question likely to bo discussed kith great care by tht banker * ) ' ussool- VOU. TIIK SITUATION- MONTANA. Advices from. Montann Indicate that the democrats intend making a tro- iiiantlotts effort to get control ot the now Btato. Having a majority of the mem bers of the constitutional convention. It is wild to bo their plan to utilize this ndvantngo In gerrymandering the legis lative districts so that their party may secure control of the legislature which will oloot two United States senators. This is the big pri'/o which the demo crats ot Mou tan a are looking nftor , and they will not hesitate at any means to eocuro it. Their majority in the con stitutional convention ia small , and it may bo that there are a few among the nuinbor who will not consent to nny trickery . to ob- ttiln an unworthy advantage , but un doubtedly the party lash will bo vlgor ously used to maintain an unbroken democratic front in the constitutional convention on so vital a matter as that of making provision for soquring the next legislature. Nor will the dorno- crats.of tlio territory bo allowed to want for outsldo assistance and advice , The democracy of the ontlro country will bo at their bnok , and they will have but to ask in order to rocolvo. Dut they have among thomsolvcs n generous amount of both capital and ? oal. Many of the wealthiest mon In the territory are democrats , some ot whom nro aspirants for the sounte. They will use money ( rooty , both for effecting a ger rymander of the legislative districts and in the election for legislators. It is to bo supposed that the republi cans o ! Montana are fully awake to the situation , and understand perfectly the plans of the democrats so far as they have boon indicated , It is not apparent , however , that they nro equally alert and active , othorwlso the democrats would not have boon permitted to gain the n/1 vantage they havo. With a united and harmonious party , Montana is unquestionably republican. It was " BO only last November by a considerable majority. It will bo so again if republicans will "got to gether. " If there is any oxistlng dls- altoctlon an ofirncst olTort should bo made at once to remove it. It is moat desirable and necessary that Montana shall bo kept from democratic control not only for the good of the new state , but for the influence she can exert in continuing the adhiinvstration of the general government in republican hands. The people ot the territories which will come Into statehood this year are indebted for thai gioat privi lege to the republican party , and that party has agroat claim upon their grat itude and , support. As to three of them there te no uncertainty. The two lakotas and Washington are counted upon as securely republican. The doubt regarding Montana c.ui be re- jnioved if her republicans will realize the great duty that is before thorn and go forward harmoniously and zoalousy to its performance. A. COLORED LBADDR'S COUNSEL. Ev-Scnntor Bruce addressed a letter full of good sense to the conference of mon of his race just hold at Jackson , Mississippi , to consider the condition of the colored people. Mr. Bruce sees in the condition of his race at this time , as contrasted with that of thirty years ago , evidence of substantial and hopeful progress. The intellectual , moral and material status of the present is superior' to that of the past , and there is nothing in it to indicate race failure or a ten dency to race deterioration. In order to maintain this advancement the race must cultivate industry , economy , thrift and integrity. Owing to its peculiar and exceptional condi tion , the race must for a time depend upon sluto and national authorities for educational privileges , but this should not bo the sole reliance. There should bo generously and cheerfully added thereto , says Mr. Bruce , "Our' own contributions towards supplying that satisfactory education for the youth of our race so vitally important to both in dividual and race progress. " The im pediment to advancement which results from a denial to the colored race , south , of political and civil rights is calmly dwelt upon , without resentment or hopelessness. Mr. Bruce believes in the ultimata triumph of justice , ho has faith In the sufficiency of the constitution and laws of his country to secure to every citizen his rights , and ho does not entertain u doubt that tlmo will sot all things right. "Our estate , " ho observes , "though embarrassing , is still hopeful , and I am sure that abundant and permanentdo- Hvornuco will ultimately come to all who heretofore have deserved and faithfully wrought for jt. " The judi cious and conservative utterances of Mr. Bruoo will very likely not Hnd acceptance - coptanco with all the men of his raco. There are radical and hot-headed load ers among them who will spurn the cpuusol to patiently and hopefully wait for time to bring in the reign of right and justice. Such mon may have their uses In assist ing to work out the problem of the colored race. But they are not the safest guides for the race , though they may do well In keeping un its courage and spirit. Ib will bo moro secure in following the counsel nncl leadership of mon like Bruce , who bettor understand its character and condition. IN TWO STAVES. To-day Pennsylvania will vote on the proposed amendment to the constitu tion prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors in that state. The cam paign on both sides had boon very active up to the date of the 'Johnstown ca'am- ty , but since then tno people of Penn sylvania have glvon little intention to anything of a publlo nature , besides tlio torrlMo loss of lifo and property by the Hoods , and the duty of providing for the survivors and replacing what was swept awrvy. There was no doubt before thIf visitation that the vote of the state would bo overwhelmingly against the proposed amendment , and it Is now be lieved , wither curiously as some may think , that an effect of the disaster will bo to swell the adverse majority , There are two good reasons fov this view , ono that the prohibitionists have boon un able to enlist the public attention , and the other that people who before fa vored the amendment will new bo loss disposed to give up the revenue to L o derived under n high license system from the sale ot liquors. The defeat of the amendment by at least n hundred thousana majority , with n greatly re duced vote , would not bo nt till surpris ing , but in nny event the popular voriUot nfrainst this effort to engraft a prohibition amendment on the constitu tion of the state promises to bo BO Ir.rgo ns to constitute a vigorous rebuke ot Us authors and ncjvocalos and An equally Blrong endorsement and vindication of the policy ot high lloouso.That policy has boon on trial In Pennsylvania for something ever \ \ year , and the excel lent results from it in the Inrgor cities have supplied a most convincing tirgu- mont against resorting to a policy which has failed ot Its purpose in avery state whore It has boon adopted , W lieu to day closes Pennsylvania will have taken a place In the list of states which during the last two or.throo years have rejected prohibitory constitutional amendments. On Thursday , Rhode Island will settle the question whether the mnon dmont she adopted in 18SU shall remain. It Is not questionable that prohibition has failed in that stato. In the principal city of the state , Providence , the nuinbor of placou whore liquor Is sold Is larger than under hign license , and the same is true of nearly every town In Rhocla Island with nny considerable manufacturing population. The best proof of the failure of prohibition in the state is in the fact that so largo tv pro portion of the people demanded Us repeal - peal that after nearly throe years' ' trltil the legislature yielded and rosubmiUod the question. The result in Rhode Island is not so qlearly foreshadowed as in Pennsylvania , but tlio moat trust * \yorthy advices indicate the abrogation of the amendment. Tlio experience of Rhode Island -with prohibition has shown clearly that nothing short of a general sentiment In favor ot the policy can secure its enforcement in anything like a satisfactory manner and in no state having prohibition is the senti ment In support of it general. The ab rogation of the amendment in Rhode Island would bo oven moro significant than the defeat of the proposed amend ment in Pennsylvania. LEADING stock men are in favor of inaugurating asories of prize stock ex hibitions in Omaha. A fat stock show should by all means bo encouraged. It would bo sure to attract the interest of cattle brooders throughput this and neighboring states and would load to beneficial results. Nebraska is gradu ally becoming a great cattle breeding state , and its line stock will compare fa vorably with any in the country. Ex- clusi\o fine stock exhibitions take place annually in the older states and the dis plays made annually by the farmers of Ohio , Illinois , Now YorkMassachusotts and elsewhere have won world-ronownod reputations. Such a project should no longer bo put off in Nebraska and a characteristic exhibition of our fine cattle tlo would fix our place pormantly among the great cattle breeding statos. How much longer are our capitalists and business men going to wait before they take the lead at the front of the procession in pushing Omaha forward ? STATE PRESS COMMENT. "Why not sow a little hemp this spring , ' queries the Koya Paha Press , "and see what land of a fibre our soil will protlucol If it is a success , while it may neb succeed in break ing up the twltio trust , it would have a salu tary effect upon tlio Koya Paha county cattle trust. " The Froinont Tribune puts the heading ' Glad to Know It" ever the following ! "W. H. Michael , Senator Mandorson's clerk of the senate printing committee , has written , a letter to TJIK Bun to correct some state ments made that Michael's brother , who has boon appointed to u position ia the govern ment printing ofllco , secured the position through the influence of Senator Mandorson. The letter of explanation and denial is very opportune , and relieves Senator Mandorson of an odium ho could not afford to carry. The appointment of W. H. Michael Is a big enough blunder for any official to father.1 All Nobiaska should shout , "Glvo us the corn tassel , " when asked to vote on the flower to bo olovatoJ to the proud position of the national emblem , says the Columbus Tel egram. Says the Stromsburg Headlight : "Tho heavy firing at General Van Wyck , has coascd for some months , and onlv an occa sional picket gun , from some half-aslcop , who was two .years bohlnd , has been hoard for sundry moons. But the otbor day , some follow stole a pair of horses from the gen eral , and that brought the senator's name Into print , and it was the signal for an at tack all along the lino. Every ring organ howled that 'old crazy horso' was m the saddle and wanted to bo governor noxb year ; and In the sumo breath screamed that ho was dead. When we remember how often they have burled him , it seems as though they are still making a terrible noise ever a dead carcas. Is it possible that the ghosts of mur dered mon come back to haunt thorn , whllo their soul's matching on ? The old senator will probably dover ask the citizens of Ne braska to support him again , but whenever his name appears in print , they go into epasins , and tremble through and through , as old Virginia did before silout old John 13rown.

As a prolltnlnnry Lawyer AVhcedon , counsel for Doan nnd Cooper , nnd Councilman Hush- ncll Indulged In a httlu tilt , Though somewhat - what caustic , they smoked the pipe of poaoo after adjournment nnd dubbed U a little pleasantry , During the bout , Uowovor , It developed that the committee Is sitting ns n grand jury rather than a trial Jury , develop ing evidence uuou which to 'base an notion providing enough Is found. After tlio first witness hail boon examined , Mr. Wheodoii stated that ho was ready to put on witnesses as soon us the prosecution rested , but that ho llrst doalred that It inako Its caso. Strpdo responded that the prosecution had mow testimony which could bo used in rebuttal , Whoodon thought It proper for him to innko his case whllo ho was at It , and so stated. Strode again retorted that the prosecution had u good , prlnia facia onso , nnd Buslinoll chipped In with the statement that the committee mittoo was simply hearing ovldonoo und would take It as it oamo , and when It got through would probably uiuko a Hading of faots , Thomas Doyle , n laborer , was flrst sworn , Ho staled that ho superintended the masons on Miller's sqwor contract i ( hat the Inspec tor Instructed tun "minors" to u.to two sacks of sand to ono of ooitiont ; that tulsva done whllo the inspector was near , but when ho was away they used from seven to ton of sand to ono of cement ; that , also , when the inspector was nwny "bats" were used In the walls instead of whole bricks. On cross- examination the witness stated that ho had not squealed because ho did not wish to get ilrod from tils job , for the reason that on settling with htm they paid him SO cents nn hour for his work. Ex-Councilman Burlrs then answered to Judge Mason's catechism lor the defense. Ho told about the bond deal , dwelling upon the difllculty the city had In placing the bonds and of the contract made with Clark nnd Lewis & Lowis. Those parties would n.jt have the intersection bonds unless they could have the district bonds also. Witness could not remember of but ono contract. Dealers were to sell the bonds at par and receive 2 pur cent'commission. . Tlio charter prohib ited selling at less than par. Witness admitted , " however , that If premiums wcro received they should have boon accounted for , but no ono expected a premium , and all were therefore satisfied with nar. Judge Masort < * wnouncod that ho would prove at the proper tiino that 8100,000 of the intersection bonds were sold by those agents f or 800,000 , but that they accounted to the cltv for the par ynluo of the same. Ex-Couucilmun Bllllngsloy was noxtsworn. Ho stated thatho , was chairman of the finance committee whan the bond deal was made , and detailed tno effort that had boon made to place the bonds. Tlio witness also stated that Lincoln's injlobtednoss In 1838 was nbout 30per cent of tire assessed valuation ; that in Massachusetts , Connecticut , and Now Hamp shire , where most of western municipal bonds were sold savings banks could not in vest in them if the assessed valuations ran ever 5 per cent ; but , explaining , ho said that the high proportion was probably duo to the lax Judgment of the assessor. Ho further stated that the city was glad to bo able to sell the bonds , nnd that the agents ought to account to the city on the sales , If they had not. Witness admitted that Still Bros , and others had criticised the transaction , saying that they would have boon glad to have had the contract and guarantee a premium , "hut ample notioo had boon given ana they were mum when time was money. Courtney asked the witness to give his opinion as to the liability of Clarlc & Lewis to the city for the amount received above par ou the sale of the bonds , and ho retorted sharply but laughingly that It was in evidence - donco that his opinion was worth $30 in such matters , and that he would have to have his fee before giving his answer. Billmpslcy and Courtney indulged In two or three sharp speeches during the morning. The former , however , admitted that some of the acts of the council in the bond deal might be criticised , but that ho thought then and thinks now that they were doing the best thing posssblo for the city. He was unshaken in cross-examination. Joe Burns was recalled , but the old war horse remained unshaken and the record of his first story still blaukcus the records. Councilman Doan was called to the stand first this afternoon. Ho put in a denial , general and collective ; pronounced the charges against htm base- fabrications , having originated in a diseased brain. Ho put the best foot foremost in defense. Nothing new , however - over , was developed. His testimony was confined to the charges as enlarged upon fiom tlmo to time. . Grau Ensign was called and'verified the story ns told hv Doan. Fraas" also tostlflcd that the naughtiness alleged was the result of Imagination. F. F. Shales , Cooper's bookkeeper , tooic the stand to show that the discounts , the bottom tom of much of the pending muss , should not have been allowed. Ho lookup the discounts , under the direction of Lawyer Whcodon , ono by erne , and by glib ligui ing actually developed that Cooper had made very generous - ous discounts to the city , ranging from 5 to 75 per cent , and In the face of list prices , ox- peits nnd wholesale deAlers verily rnndo a showing that they dld.net know the differ ence botwocn a stop-cook nnd a fUcam-cocu. His testimony on the whole was very funny , unique and original , if not convincing , the whole truth and nothing but the truth , But the shallowness of the councllmnnlc- Investigation Is now becoming apparent. Tlio committee is getting sloouy. and the "tnaro's nost" bids fair to go to pieces. A parson with half an eye can see that the whole thing is fast becoming n great blow about. nothing , unless , perchance , it Is the bond deal , which will probably gather some of the lost shekels to the bosom of the fathers and the city's spacious vaults. The Investigation will bo continued to morrow ; indeed , It is said that it will bo continued without unnecessary intermission until the ond. , Furiupr llfnyo u/i holiool Matters.

Among the latter was James AVakely , ono of his backers in the forthcoming light with Kilrain. "I know nothing of Sullivan's break , " ho said last evening , "except what I have soon in the papers. I do not believe the repot t. All I can say is , if ho has gone back to the bottle wo shall lot him go to Now Orleans and expect to see him licked like a chump. It is too late for his backers to 'retreat now. The § 10,000 is up , and wo can rnako nothing by default at this tlmo , and there is always a cbanco to \vln , oven with odds greatly against one. If wo find John is really off wo shall take him away from Muldoon's , but I do not know where wo can send him to finish his training , " It has boon suggested that there Is ono way for Sullivan's backers to save themselves - solves and that Is by failing to agree on a roforeo. Iho sports who are behind Kilrain Frank Stovouson , Prof. Mike Donovan and a host of others feel sure that Sullivan , dis gusted with his efforts to get Into fighting condition with nothing to build on , had lot his passion for drink got the upper hand of him. Ed Holsko , the sport who crossed the water with Sullivan two years ago and who has said all along there will bo no fight , felt sure the report of Sullivan's debauch was correct.

Nmy Yoiit | , Juno 17 , | Special Telegram to Tun HnE. ] Tno story denying the report Uir.t Ilippolyto , the Haytlon Insurgent con. oral , had captured Port-nu-Prlnco , was con firmed today by Johannes .Hanstcadt , representative - resontativo of Hlppolyto tu i this city. Han- Btoadl said at the time the report of the cap ture of Port-au-Prlnco was received at this city'via London ho know it was untrue , as ho had boon kept posted as to the movements of his chief. Besides this , ho Bald that Hippo- ly to was too cautious n man to attempt to tnko the city by storm from ono side , nnd that whllo ho knows Hlppolyto is with his nrmy within n few miles of Port-au-Princo , ho has not inndo any attempt to enter or take the city , nor nny demonstrations against It. A movement , however , Is now on foot that will probably result in either Port-au-Prmco falling Into the hands of the northern soldiers or their receiving a bloody repulse. Mr. Hanstcadt is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the steamer 'Sam Saglnaw with authentic news of the situation , as ho understands that Ilippolyto is working his troops through the Yell country to the west and south of Port-au- Prince , with the Intention of covering the city on all sides where an approach can bo made by land. Mr. Hanstcudt received two cablegrams to-day , ono from Ins correspon dent nt , Port Plato , and the other from his partner , Mr. Jiminez , at Capo Haytlon. Uoth cablegrams continued the report that every thing was quiet , and said nothing of Hlppo lyto having occupied Port-au-Pi luce. Mr. Hanstcadt said , however , ho was in receipt of authentic Information that Logitlmo Is In n very weak-kneed condition nnd desires to abdicate , but is prevented fi om doing so by his generals. Nothing could bo learned from the attaches of the Haytion consulate In this city further than that the declaration that the dispatch denying Hippotyte's success was true. Twcnty-Throo Ordained.
