RKD CLOUD is a conspicuous revenue
reformer , provided the revenue Hews
into his wigwnm.
millers of the state have like
wise met in convention al Omaha. As
a convention city our fnmo is crowing
apace. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
WHAT is there about , Alaska that has
made it all of a sudden such a fashion
able summer resort for our scnutorsrich
men and politicians ?
WmrK the council is busied with dog
legislation , why not pass an ordinance
us well to. muzzle potty city oflicials
caught tarn poring with the city's funds ?
STUKIST car companies in Now York
have been granted the privilege of sub
stituting cable traction or oloctrio mo
tors for horse power. The day of the
horse car is waning. The horse must
"go" at last.
Till ! English yachtsmen have suc
ceeded in convincing themselves that
the Vnlkyrio will walk away with the
American cup , next fall. It will give
give us great pleasure to dispel the de
lusion and sprinkle the Dunniven craft
with salt spray.
THIS success of Merchants' week this
fall cannot bo made , out of the breath of
the mouth nor summoned out of the
void. It demands immediate work of
preparation on all who have tno welfare
of this enterprise in hand.
Ouu own Jack Galligan will answer
the question at the national convention
of the chiefs , of lire departments ,
"Should the sfzo of hose bo increased ? "
The subject is a delicate one to handle ,
but what our chief does not know about
Lose is not worth knowing at all.
TJIEUE has boon a noticeable increase
in Omaha's pork packing record for the
week ending Juno 20th. While her
place as the third largest packing center -
tor of the country remains undisputed ,
the number of hogs packed so far this
season is still thirty-live thousand short
of the record for 1888. A supreme effort
should bo made to not only catch up
with the returns for 1888 , but , if possi
ble , to surpass thorn before the summer
packing season is over.
dispatches to a local contem
porary say Senator Mandorsoii's frionda
nt Washington are rejoicing over the
senator's recent achievements. Those
friends at Washington principally hail
from Philadelphia and the east , whore
the senator has buon lionized at recep
tions and champagne banquets. But
the friends of the snnntor in Nebraska
and in Omaha are yet to bo hoard from.
They never were very numerous , and
ore growing beautifully loss.
SENATOH MANDKHSON'JJ organ , the
Onmha Herald , congratulates the san-
ator upon his successful raid upon the
United States treasury just before start
ing homo. The sumitor has boon on the
pension roll , drawing fifteen dollars a
month , for nearly twenty years , for
physical disabilities that havq not ma
terially interfered with his digestion ,
And now ho has at lust succeeded in
drawing four thousand dollars back paj
as a disabled veteran. Gallantry in wai
as in peace has boon a paying thing
with the senator.
TUB republican press of Now Moxicc
la considerably exercised over the fact
that President Harrison has so fai
failed to recognize the native element
of that territory in federal appoint
ments. As three-fifths ot the inhabi
tants nro Spanish-Americans nnd the
majority are aijd to bo republicans , they
claim it ns a right that the ofllcos of the
territory bo apportioned principally
among them. It is consequently feared
that if the president give thoin the cold
shoulder , these high-strung and sensi
tive Spaniards will desert the republican
can party In a body and throw the tor
rltory to the democrats. There is aomo
thing ot n iUlonunu , accordingly , in the
distribution of patronage , Much as
President Harrison muy wish to placate
the Spanish-American people , it is
uovertholcss , notoriously true that but
a small proportion of this population if
fitted to hold the rolns of govornmoni
and that the majority is still Hunk ir

Arbitration affords the only rational
moanBof Bottling disputes between bm-
ployor and employe. It Is the one avenue
of escnpo from strikes , which nro nt boat
costly to both sides. Wherever arbitra
tion ha ? boon resorted to it has proven
beneficial. It places the interests in
dtaputa in the handso ( an impartial and
disinterested court , whore the claims
or demands of both parties are weighed
dispassionately.
There arc nt present in this city n
delegation of Union Paclllo locomotive
engineers and flromon in consulta
tion with the officers of the com
pany In regard to differences as
to pay. It is not necessary to discuss
the merits of the case. Both nidos
claim they are rijrht , and stick to their
claims. There is ono gratifying fea
ture of the controversy , however , and
that Is the readiness of the company to
submit the points in dlsputo to arbitra
tion , agreeing to abvdo by .tho decision.
This method affords n prompt , just and
easy solution of the difficulty , and there
is no reason why it would not result in
a victory for the engineers and flromon.
They can not afford to reject arbitra
tion in ono case and appeal
for public support nnd sympathy
in another because the rail
road company refused to arbitrate.
The disastrous olToot of the Burlincr-
ton strike is still felt in hundreds of
homes. The mnn appealed for arbitra
tion , but the railroad company refused
to grant it. A strike was the only re
course , and the man accepted the al-
tornatlvo. What was the result ?
Families were broken up , men who han
dled the throttle for years , who had
built homos and settled down for lifo ,
have become wanderers , and have been
forced to accept inforlor employment
on other linos. The loss of money to
both sides was enormous , and the bit
terness engendered will require years
to wipe out.
Tlio fact that the Union Paolno is
ready to arbitrate with Its men is n
commendable concession , ono which
tlio employes can not safely ignore if
they desire to retain public support , It
is of great importance as showing the
drift of bontimont in favor of peaceful
settlement of disputes. Where there Is
a dlll'oronco of opinion there is room for
arbitration , And. with such means of
fered there is no justification for a
strike.
'io POLITICS.
In his baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of Harvard. Kov. Dr.
Pcabody observed that among the chief
causes of the corruption and venality in
politics is the indifference of very
many citizens of superior education ,
high character and largo potential in
fluence. Such men are ever prone to
hoop out of politics , and ho said if this
habit is permitted to grow , the issue
must bo tho'lapso of government , as of
the ancient republics ) into aristocracy ,
nnd thence , it may bo , in refuge from
the horrors of democratic tyranny into
the more tolerable absolution of a single
despot. "If I were a younger man , " said
Dr. Peabody , ' "I would go into pdlities
heart and soul , with vote ' and tongue
and pen , " and ho told the graduates
that an active interest in the public af-
airs of thaii * respective communities
: ind of the nation was so far an imper
ative duty that they could not respect
themselves if they neglected it.
The counsel was wise and sound.
There would bo far less necessity for
expedients to reform election methods
and to ill-event corrupt practices in poli
tics if the intelligent and substantial
jitiy.ons of every community , men of
education and character , concerned
themselves personally with poli
tics. It is their inaiitorenco which sup
plies the opportunity of the domagotruo
and the business of the political
schemers and corruptionists. Were
the class of citizens to whom Dr. Pea
body referred , nnd who have the great
est interests dependent upon wise , hon-
estand good government , to uniformly
concern themselves personally in poli
tical nffairsv from the caucus to the con
vention and the election , taking a vigi
lant and active part In each , corruption
and venality in politics would speedily
bo reduced to comparatively small pro
portions , if they did not wholly disap-
pcaiymd there would result a hotter class
of candidates for public office and elec
tions , largely freed from the corrupt
ing conditions that now ntton/1 thorn.
But argument of this sort has boon so
often urged with unsatisfactory result
that there , is not much encouragement
to repeat it. The indications are that
the habit of indifference to politics is
growing in the oirdlo of citizens of
education and character , in utter blind
ness of the danger suggested by Dr.
Peabody na likely to spring from it ,
and perhaps nothing .short of the ap
pearance of the danger in a form not
to bo mistaken will induce this class ol
citizens to realize and perform their
duty. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'llEASUltY AND MONEY MARKET.
There are present financial condi
tions which give interest to the ques
tion of the future operations of the
treasury. Gold is being exported , the
receipts of currency at the money centers -
tors are comparatively small , there it
a depletion of bank reserves , and there
is every reason to expect that the fall
demands for currency will Uo early and
active. These conditions are exciting
no apprehension , the general fooling
being that of confidence in the willing
ness of the treasury department tc
make whatever provision may be nocos'
fiury to prevent a monetary stringency
but nevertheless the possible future
financial policy of the treasury is a matter
tor ot interest In financial circles.
The now fiscal year of the government
begins with July , and will bo marked
as usual by a largo in crease in disburse
inonts. Nine million dollars of intorob
on the publlo debt will bo payable ani
the now appropriations become avulla
bio , The expenditure ! ) of the govern
mcnt in July are always morn thai
double these of Juno. It is nssumoi
that the secretary of the treasury I
waiting to observe the effect of those
increased dlcbursomunts before do
tonnining what is noccsEarj
to moot the currency ro
quiroinonts of the autunln. ' The con
dltion of the treasury nnd the mono ;
market at the hsgiuning of the fall do
mnnds will bo mono favorable than nt
the corresponding dnto h\st yonr. The
surplus will bo loss by about ono-lmlf
the circulation of the country will bo
larger by twenty-five or thirty million
dollars , nnd the deposits of publlo
money In the banks will bo loss by
only about twelve million dollars. Last
year during July , August nnd Septem
ber the treasury expended forty mil
lion dollars In the purchase of bonds
to moot the requirements ot trade , nnd
nnd It may bo called upon for nn equal
amount this year.
Secretary Windom has throughout
shown u alslncllnatton to advance the
treasury price for bonds , nnd ho la said
to bo confidant of his ability to secure
adequate amounts ot bonds al about the
present prices. It is Impossible to say
with any degree of certainty whether
or not this faith Is likely to prove woll-
foundcd , but the disposition manifested
by the bondholders does not encourage
the idea that It will. However , should
there bo a pressure for money the oilor-
Ings of bonds may bo correspondingly
increased. In the event of this not
being done , the secretary may In his
discretion draw out bonds by Increasing
the prlco to bo paid for them , nnd the
important question Is whether ho will
do this. Thus far ho has given httlo
Intimation ot policy or purpose. Ho
lias ndhorcd pretty closely to the lines
of his predecessor. But ho understands
the necessity of maintaining financial
confldonco , and wll } doubtless in duo
time iimlto known the policy necessary
to do this.
THE railroad situation daily develops
now features of Interest. The compli
cations growing out of the Alton and
St. Paul controversy tire still unpormost ,
the latest phase of the issue being the
claim of the latter that the charges
made by the Alton were not true , aud
that the action of that company In "with
drawing from the association hnd no war
rant under the circumstances. There
certainly is some reason to bollove that
the Alton acted hastily , and that its
coursn was prompted by strong desire to
regain its independence. It hesitated
long about going into the association ,
and wo boiiovo was the last com
pany to sign the "gentlemen's
agreement. " That the disadvantages
it complains of .under that restrictive
arrangement nro not nil imaginary is
quite probable , but it will hardly bo
able to justify Us hurry to renounce the
association. 'A strong olTort will doubtless -
loss bo made to prevent the Inter-state
Commerce Railway association from
tumbling to pieces , but the general
opinion scorns to bo that it can not bo
preserved. It is reported that several
other roads are contemplating follow
ing the course of the Alton and may bo
expected at any time to announce their
withdrawal. If it were necessary to se
cure the Alton in order to effect the
agreement , as was understood whou the
negotiations were pending , the perma
nent withdrawal of that company must
bo latal to the association , and there is
not the least probability that it can bo
induced to recede from the position it
has taken. ' *
is very little doubt but that
the ISuglish government will approve
the extradition law passed by the Cana
dian parliament , and that thojnoasuro
will go into effect as soon as the proclamation
*
mation making it applicable to the
United States ana other countries is
published in the olllciul gazette.
There in consequently much pertur
bation in the American colony in the
Dominion , which contains something
like two thousand fugitives from the
United States. It is a question whether
the fugitives already across the St.
Lawrence are not In danger of boin g
extradited ns well as any felon who
may escape into Canada horoaftor.
While there is no retroactive clause in
the law , It appears that legislation af
fecting extradition is generally inter
preted to bo retroactive unless expressed -
pressed to the contrary , nnd this will
depend largely upon the construction of
the measure by the minister of justice.
Should he decide in accordance with
long honored custom , it is greatly to bo
regretted that the American exile will
bo obliged to find some moro hospitable
roof than Canada if ho would escape the
clutches of the law.
Tins fact that during the past year
our exports from San Francisco to Aus
tralia increased nearly eighty per
cent , while our imports increased
forty per cent , shows the importance to
this country of the result of the Sainoan
negotiations. The islands are nearly
on a direct line between San * Fnncisco
aud Sidney , Australia , and about mid
way. A semi-monthly line of steamers
is projected for employment in this
trade , which is reasonably certain to
have a steady growth under favorable
conditions , and which it is certainly de
sirable to cultivate. It is the belief of
some who have given the matter careful -
ful consideration tlmt in time this Aus
tralian trade may become tbo most valu
able part of our foreign commerce , but
at any rate it is desirable and necessary
that there shall bo no obstruction to it
such as might have resulted from allow
ing Germany to shut us out from all
right in the Snmonn islands. These
who have unfavorably criticised the
course of the government in this mutter
have not carefully studied the practical
considerations at stake.
THE street car tracks laid on the

the floor and planked on the sides , leav

dangerous for narrow gauge , light ve

some regard for public convenience and

THK prosperity of the now south may
well bo gauged by the multiplication of
savings banks within the last throe

people of the north , until 18SG Mary
land was the only southern utato that
had a savings bank. That year Dela
ware and I'ortli Carolina incorporated
savings bunks , and in the your follow-
uitf South Carolina , Georgia and Louis-
> ann followed thbir example. Alabama ,

which clearly indicate that savings

TIIK Irish National railroad announces
, hat it is willing to nssumo nil the lia-
jllltlcs for the recent terrible Armagh
disaster. WJint n contrast this is to the
course of American railroads , which

accidents unless forced to do so by the
strong arm of the law.
TUB Alton shows very Httlo Indica
tion of reconsidering its purpose to
withdraw from the Intor-slnto Com-
norco Railway association nnd to como
jack forgiven into the fold. With the
defection of the Alton the "ngroomont
jotwcon gentlemen" is likely to bo

The now Boo building Is said to bo the

though there are several of them that wo

Wo are also constrained to boiiovo tlmt there
are very few newspapers la the world that
have attained the magnitude and influence
Which THE BCE now enjoys , In so short a

It Is a remarkable fact , with all the enmi
ties and antagonisms generated nnd kept
nlivo by Kosowater and Tim OMAHA BBB
slnco the first day of its publication ( and
their nmna is legion ) , that it is tha most mag-
nillcont plcco of newspaper property in the
west. The chief reasons for this is ttio fact
that TUB BEB Is n Nnws-papnr , superior to
any of Its contemporaries of the dominant
political faith , and that , hi the main , It is
forcotul and fearless in its utterances. In
sincere nnd hypocritical it may bo , and often
Is , it Is Independent enough to bo appreciated
by the mass of readers.

TUB KILLING OP NK\VI2LU
Views of n Resident of Kayn , Pnlia
Ooiintv.
LUTES , Xob. , Juno 17. fTo the Editor of
TUB Bun.1 I see nn article in Tun Hcnof
Juno 0 , purporting to bo nn oxplniintion of
the vigilante troubles in this county. There
nro a few statements In said nrtlclo I wish to
contradict. To begin with , wo have positive
proof that there have not boon any cattle or
horses stolen In this county slnco the begin
ning of the present year. The cattle re
ported stolen were merely strayed , nud have
all returned of their own accord. The writer
nlso stated that John T. Newell had made his
homo a rendezvous for thieves. This I
know to bo untrue. Newell kept
but ono man lu his house thut.
was suspected of stealing. And thut man
was his friend long before ho was suspected
of stealing , nnd Newell had no proof that ho
was a thief. Tins maa hud boon driven
from his homo nud came into the county to
settle up his affairs , and Newell kept him
over night. Was this the crime for which
ho had to yield up hi ) life ) Again the wri
ter claims ho fought them to the end1. This
is untrue , as men who have Investigated the
mutter say ho never fired a shot ; ntirt that
ho was murdered In hii own house before ho
had time to lire n shot In defense of his life.
Whyl Because ho hnd dared to s.1y pub
licly tlmt ho did not boiiovo in mob law , nnd
happened to keep ouo man the committee
had condemned in his house over night. I
Imvo known the Newell brothers for several
years and have talked with Andrew Newell
concerning the ndvlco ho Is said to have
( 'lven his brother before his death.Ho says
ho never gave any such advice , as ho never
know his brother was connected wltli any
sat of thieves , and therefore hud no occasion
to advise him. Another statement I wish to
make , and I know the law-nbiding cili/ons
will bear mo out in it : John
T. Nowcll was no thief , neither did ho
share In the ill-gotten spoils of thieves.
Ho came out to this country ton years ago ,
and took n half-section of hind which he im
proved by honest Inbor. Ho loft no personal
property but what every person who knew
htm know how ho came by It. His debts , to
gether with his funeral expenses , will swal
low up nil his personal effects , nnd ho died in
the house ho hud worked so hard to get.
Sir.co Newell was killedseveral of his neigh
bors nnd some of the best men In the county
have left their homos , in fear of their lives
because they , Hko him , had dared to say
what was ri lit. Many moro of our best cit-
zons who bellovo in freedom of speech und
strict adliei once to the law , are preparing to
leave this county and go whom they cuu ou-
Joy these privileges. The writer of that
wrtlclo ( mid the law hail boon tried nnd founfl
of no olTeot. Thpto wftro n , few arrests mmlo
In thli county nnd , a * nntnttorot course , they
could not bo punUhod hero for crimes co in *
milled on the reservation , but hnd they boon
tnkrm Into Dakota thy would have cot
Plenty of law. No mnn will steal unless ho
cnn mnko something out of It , nnd no man
can go from hero to Deadwood nnd defend
himself for nothing , oven thougb ho was nut
convicted. < There 11 not an honest man In
this county who would not open his uurso
nnd contribute somolhliiL' to hell ) In nny
well directed effort to put ( town entile steal
ing. Would not this bo bettor than tlmt In *
nocont blood should be shed I Hnd Newell
been overtaken with stolen chattels In bis
possession , nnd uoon kl'.cd , then the people
of this county would never have raised their
voices against the deed. But the time has
arrived when ttomoono must speak nnd I
have taken It upon myself to stnto tbo fnot
In regard to this affair. And not wishing to
have miyono else blamed for writing this nr

"And that insertion I brnudins n delibornto

mo wlmt I thought of It I told him that the

thut I would rather Imvo hna

to urge my preference ) there because I owned
property across the street , and tlio people
would nccuso no of doing It from personal

"The sccrotnry then nskcd mo my opinion

Whence all but he had fled ; "My patience is clean gone ! "
He saw amid the cargo's wreck And but tl.c booming ihots replied ,
A box , and , calling , said : And fast the flames rolled on.
"Say , father , say if I may sit Then earns a burst of thunder-sound-
Upon this box and wait ? " The boy , oh 1 where was he ?
And then without his sire's permit , Upon the box , high did hc.bound ,
Down on that box he sate. Then floated on the sea.
