LlKK a crusader of old , Kllrnln wua blessed by a priest on his journey to the Hold of battle. TUB echo of the successful shooting of the American rifle team in Enpland is bourd nil around the world. Tun rat-catohor of Paris did not make as much of a stir in the world as the ( locatchor of Omaha , is likely to creates. NOHODY will object to the state 'militin enjoying1 its annual encampment at the espouse of the majors and cole nels. CITY government has become the 'university of oflloial bootllerism. Dis honesty is the only graduation noees- sary for a degree. Dnop a nicklo in the box nnd take your choice. Shall the street railway company absorb the motor line or shall the latter swallow the former ? NORTH DAKOTA is seriously consider ing the advisability of having the legis lature of that state consist of a single house elected by a veto of the people. North Dakota is certainly young enough to try the innovation. IK ON13 of the principles of the Sulli- van-Kilrain match should throw up the sponge the affair will be a , hippodrome. If one of them bo killed , it will bo mur der , but if both of them bo knocked into eternity it will bo a relief. is are indications that the work of public improvements from now on will bo rapidly pushed forward' . Lot the inspectors keep their eye on the con tractors and lot tiio board of public works watch the inspectors. ROPE-SKIPPING has been introduced by athletes to strengthen their muscle nnd to tone their system. The exorcise Bhould commend itself to ollico-sookers. The political rope-skipper might toughen his cheek and improve his norvo. IT LOOKS pretty much as if the coal dealers of Omaha will have to pay that one hundred dollar license imposed on them by the council whether they like it or not. The great question to the consumer is , however , will the tax bo saddled upon them when the coal tariff for the season will bo put in force by thd local pool. In the race for capital -of South Da kota , Wntortown is by"no moans likely to bo an unimportant factor. That city now claims about seven thousand popu lation and is growing rapidly. Being nn important railroad center , Water- town cannot fall to nituco herself felt in the final choice between n number of lively competitors. TllK cut made by the Baltimore & Ohio In corn nitoafrom Chicago and St. Louis to the seaboard is moro than likely to stimulate the movement of Ne braska's surplus product immediately. There has boon nn unusual demand in Europe for corn during the past few weeks , mill it is evident that heavy operators raters have taken advantage of the sit uation. GJSOUOK is agitating n ays- torn for thu abolition of poverty that once was tested in England before Hen ry George was born. A wealthy philan thropist boquoatod an estate of XI , 000 a year to the poor of throe villages. Wilhirrn. few years the residents of this 'nationalized" land wore poverty Btrlckon , and a special act of parlia ment had to bo passed revoking the gift to avoid further misery. Idealistic theories will not mlnimlao poverty. Ab 3I1QIU' have boon expected , the coroner's Jury sitting lu inquest over the remains of ono of the victims o ( thu Johnstown Hood has brought in a ver dict holding the members of the South Fork Fishing club responsible for the fearful loss of life and property resulting from the breaking of the Conomaugh dam , The members of the club wore repeatedly warned of the diuigorous character of the dam , but took no menus to avert the catastrophe. It is a fearful responsibility which they are now called upon to shoulder. A N OFPEII of Advices from the Canadian sent of covonimont Deport a purpose on the part of that government , with imperial approval , to propose reciprocal trade In lumber with the United States. So far ns known nothing has boon hoard of this intention at the state or treasury departments , but the information that , comes from Ottawa appears to have the sanction of author ity , and there ia nothing improbable in it. The assistant secretary of the treasury is quoted ns soy ing that Canada has everything to Rain by shipping its lumber free into this country , while wo have every thing to lose by such a transaction , from which it is to bo inferred that no support for the proposal , should it bo made , is to bo expected from the treas ury department. The matter , however , is ono which congress alone can deal with , and in thottyont of its coming before fore that body there might bo found a very considerable popular sentiment in favor of it. There ia already a considerable amount of lumber coming into this country from Canada , chiefly from Quebec , Ontario , Manitoba nnd the Northwest territory. The Canadian logs como almost entirely from these sections , while over throo-fourths of the shingles , boards , plunksetc. , re ceived through the northern customs ofllces are from these Canadian locali ties. A larger amount of unhewn logs was formerly received in this country , especially in Michigan , the lumbermen of the country bordering on the lakes boiner accustomed to tow their logs across to the American side and have thorn sawed by the mills thoro. The expostulations 'of Canadian millmon wore responsible for the increase of the export duty to throe dollars per ono thousand feet- and the pro posed reduction would unquestionably benefit American millmon. The benefits of reciprocity would not , however , stop with this. It would lower the price of lumber in the United States , and the far-reaching advant ages of such n result cannot easily bo overestimated. It would enable hun dreds of thousands of our people to build homos who cannot do so under the present tax of two dollars on every thousand foot of lumber , and it would have the further good effect of re ducing the tremendous demand upon our forests , under which they are rapidly disappearing. The theory that the price of Canadian lumber would eventually bo raised until it reached a figure little below the price of Ameri can lumber of the same grade will doubtless bo advanced as an argument against reciprocity , but it can hardly have great weight with those who are not predisposed in favor of maintaining tho.oxisting tax on imported lumber. The vast forests of Canada would supply all the demands of the two countries , it lias been estimated , for the next hundred years , and under a policy of reciprocity there would bo every reason to expect a competition between Canadian lumbermen so strong as to keep prices at an adequately low figure. The west and northwest want cheaper lumber. It would bo a great boon to the thousands of settlers who will shortly Jlock to the prospoctlvo now states. It would benefit millions of others of our people. It is one of the country's most urgent needs , and in the event of Canada proposing a policy that would bring it about thcro is nothing more certain than that the proposal will have a wide and earnest popular support , EXTRA SESSION GOSSIP. There is a renewal of gossip regard ing an extra session of congress , but the uncertainty as to whether ono will be called remains as great as over. Re ported remarks of the president indi cate that ho thinks the reasons in favor of an extra session stronger than these against it ; but ho has given no indica tion from whiuli it can bo concluded that ho iutundb to convene congress in advance of the regular dale for its mooting. It is quite probable that a majority of republican represen tatives believe it would bo wise to have congress assemble before December , in order that an or ganization might bo olToctod before that time and the contest certain to occur over a change of the rules entered upon , but on the other hand there is a consid erable number who do not bollovo any thing would bo gained by this course. The latter argue that at the best the republican majority in the house , if congress should bo convened in Octo ber , would bo only four , and It Is ex tremely doubtful whether they could command a quorum if called to gether in advance of the reg ular ' session. If congress could bo sot actively to work in October tboro would bo decided ad vantage In nn extra session , but it is obvious that with a majority of throe or four 11 party in the house of repre sentatives can do nothing which the minority determines shall not bo done. Thus the party calling the session would bo hold responsible for wasting time , whereas to watt until December , when tha law requires congress to con vene , the responsibility for delay would rest upon the minority. Besides , the republican membership will bo in creased by at least four , and perhi'ps live , by the elections to bo hold in the nowly-formod states. The in- 'oreasod momborahip will give an aggregate of three hundred nnd thirty , and Increase a quorum from ono hun dred and sixty-throo to ono hundred and slxty-bix. Placing the republican strength at ono hundred nnd sixty- eight , which it is llkoly to bu , It will bo noon that whether congrusa Is called in October or convenes rosularly in December - comber , the republicans will have a very slim margin upon which 10 start n era- fade for radical changes in the rules , the lintormination of election contests , and impovtunt legislation ull'outiii : , ' party domination in the house , as well as material public Interest * . It is im- posslblo to say whether the lima gained by culling an extra session would bo of any nnl advantage , except BO far ntt it served to disclose the plans of thu minority , and it ia pretty well under stood what these aj-o to bo , but ut any rate it would clunrly not ho advisable to call an extra session before the rep resentatives to bo elected in the now Btntos can thko their seats < The repub licans in the house will not bo safe without this addition to their strength. English sparrow must go. That is the edict of the Unltod States depart ment of agriculture. Ho must bo ox- tormlnatod root and branch , body and 'soul. The indictment against him is voluminous. No lawyer's brief can bo moro oxhaustlvo in detail , moro con vincing by weight of evidence , or moro thorough in logical deduction and ar gument than tlio work of foiir hundred and five pages prepared by the division of economic ornithology under the di rection of the secretary of agriculture. The English sparrow , or to bo moro exact , Passer Domosticus , is accused of being the enemy to the farmer , to the American song birds , nnd to man in general. An alien by nativity , ho was brought to this country forty years ago by some well moaning though deluded bird lovors. Since that time the spar row lias increased his numbers so that his progeny is as thick ns mosquitoes and his tribe extends from the Atlantic to the Missouri river and from Maine to Florida. But now ho is n nuisance , and the crimes nnd misdemeanors laid at his foot make him a monster of such dreadful proportions that every man's hand should bo raised against him. Ho is common , ho is unclean , ho is moro prolific than an oriental sultan. IIo is saucy , Ho lights , ho is a glutton and his habits are demoralizing' ' to the bird kingdom. Alien that ho is , ho has never adopted Amer ican ways of living. Ho has never become naturalized and never will. Ho is an anarchist and makes war upon the well-behaved American song birds. Ho does not help the farmer in ridding the Holds of bugs and insects , but destroys his wheat and loots his orchards. Ho toils not neither does ho spin , yet winter and summer ho grows sleeker and sleeker and bolder and bolder in his depredations. Long suffering America can stand this no longer. Uncle Jerry Rusk has sounded the alarm. The war of extermination must begin. THE Now York Sun finds fault with the recently published historical sketch of Iowa , by Justice Miller of the supreme court , because there was omitted from it any reference " 'to the intense radicalism which rules the pco plo , and especially to that spirit of con fiscation nnd of plunder , wo might al most say of rascality and robbery , if the motive were not so highly moral , which they have displayed toward the unfortunate owners of railroad prop erty who live elsewhere. " The Sun does not need to bo reminded that Jus tice Miller could not properly discuss the railroad legislation of Iowa in a magazine article. His position as a member of the supreme tribunal of the country , which may at any time bo called upon to consider this legislation , precluded him from.referring to it , nor was it necessary to do.so in a narrative of the material , political and social con dition and progress of Iowa. But had Justice Miller referred to the subject which ho omitted from his interesting paper wo venture to think ho would have said nothing to justify the Sitn'a opinion of the spirit of the people of Iowa in the efforts they have mudo to protect themselves against the exactions - actions and abuses of "tho unfortu nate owners of railroad prop erty who live else whore. " If the Sun is as well informed as it should bo re garding the history of railroad methods and practices in the west , its character ization of the policy of the people of Iowa is only to bo explained as the re sult of a prejudice natural to its envir onment. In cither case , it is wholly unjust. _ _ _ _ _ . THE action of the Chinese govern ment in establishing at Canton the lar- jrost mint in the world for the coinage of silver has created a good deal of alarm in Mexico. For centuries the Mexican dollar has boon the standard coin of the Chinese , and in fact of Asiatic commerce , and the purpose of the Chinese government to coin its own silver will , it is thought , result in driv ing the Mexican dollar out of that coun try. According to the loading financial journal of Mexico the olTcctmustbo that the Chinese government will buy its sil ver in the United Status , thereby de priving Mexico of an important article of commerce. It is not questionable that the action of the Chinese government may provo a serious matter to the silver mining industry of Mexico , but this will largely depend upon what efforts and inducements the miners of Ameri can silver are willing to offer to got the Chinese trade. In business affairs China is looking for the host advantages , re gardless of their source , and if there is a competition between the Qnitod States and Mexico the country that can offer China the best terms will sell that coun try the most silver. AN Important decision has just boon handed down by Judges Horton , Tuloy and Collins , of Chicago , on the motion of the Chicago board of trade to dissolve the injunction to prevent the board from withholding its quotations from the buckotshops. The judges , much to the surprise ot the board of trade , deny the motion to dissolve the Injunction on the ground that the market reports are of so much importance to the public that they should bo considered public prop erty. This ruling practically settles the long-fought battle between the board of trade and the buckotshops. It is not likely Unit the stouk exchange will push the prosecution farther. It IB a sub stantial victory for thu buckotshop , and the curb stone broker hereafter will bo put on an equality with the high- toned member of the stock and produce exchanges to satisfy his cravings for gambling , Tim discussions of the international conference al Paris relative to the solu tion of thu labor and landquost'on ' have not produced anything very startling. In spite of ubalraot theories , tun oin- plnyo ia still anxious to obtain moro for his labor , and the omployur dislikes the iduu of diMroaslng bla Income.

An Interesting Question. A very intrrosting question has arisen In the courts of Philadelphia growing out of a inarrinjjo which took plnco in Washington Inst week. It seems thnt n certain gcutlomnn cnlled upon n minister iu the Quaker City , and requested to unite him in imirriuco to n Indy who accompanied him. The minister put some questions to the t > xpeetant bride groom , mid learned much to his astonish ment that the gentleman wanted to marry his mothor-in-Iuw , his first wife having died some time previously. The minister did not want to perform the ceremony without some knowledge of the law , nnd upon making in quiry learned thnt the statutes of the com monwealth of Pennsylvania prohibits such marriages , with n penalty fixed nt rx fine of ? 500 and imprisonment. The ceremony was therefore off. A few days Inter , however , much to the astonishment of.the minister and other pco plo who know the couple , n marriage notice appeared in the Philadelphia papers , an nouncing that the ceremony hnd boon per formed in the District of Columbia. Now the validity of marriage is agitating the minds of those learned In marriage law. and several hunts of musty statutes have been inaugurated to ascertain whether there is anything in the laws of the District of Co- bin to prohibit such n marriago. The stat utes are silent upon the subject , but It may bo that thcro Is n provision of common law or an old Maryland act which prohibits such marriages. If so they have not been found. f atonts For Pnzzlrs. Some time ngo the whole United States wns excited over nn alleged now ouzzlo known ns "pigs In clover. " On every street corner fakirs were seen soiling card-board with three concentric circles ono Inside another , and four marbles ; nnd every fakir did n rushing business. Pigs in clover became - came an Institution in the land , and the sol- , dlsaint Inventor realized a handsome fortune In a very short time. The Infernal machine was scarcely on the market when inventors sprang up nil over the country with "cows in the corn , " "rats iu the Meal , " "mlco in the eheeso , " and anj number of other similar devices. The patent ofilco application room wns literally overrun with men eager to secure the protection of the United States for their inventions , but up to the present tinm not n single patent 1ms ucen granted. All of ttioso toys claimed us original principles nro devices which were complete nt the beginning of the century. No patent i'an bo granted on any such contrivances , nnd the Inventors nro simply put to the expense of p.iylng the initial fees without nny returns. It IB loni tied , by tbo way , that the so-callod Pigs In Clover scheme was patented ton or moro years ngo , nud that when the 1 at out 'Inventor" applied fora patent ho discovered that it was not obtainable for this rcasou. He is naid to have realized moro than 1100,01)0 ) of profit before the game played out , nnd he wns only brought up with n round turn a short timer ago , wluin the original patentee secured an injunction restraining him from conducting his business nny longer.

July r. j Fmiikio Currlo , a young iIrl who lm boon living In Lincoln for sovornl months past , WIIB nrrc3tctl last night for uttering forged pnpor , mul cominlttod to the county jnll at midnight. It coms thut on the IStli of Jutio Franklo entered Ashby ft Mlllspnugh'a dry goods store niul rcprcsnntod thnt she wns Miss Snvnso , Judge Mason's ' housekeeper , nnd that she hnd boon sent by Mrs. Hnm- mom ) , the Judge's daughter , to buy soma goods on credit for her us tlioy Intended to start for Colorado In n few day ? . Knowing Mason's prejudice ngninst the purchase of goods on credit , the linn denied Miss Snvngo's request , nnd Instructed her to grt , nn order from him for the goods she wuntod. Shortly nftarwnril she n nln appeared nnd presented n note , ncntly nnd lutalllgcutly written , of which the following Isu copy : Messrs. Ashby & Millspnugh : I will sco thut you get paid for anything thnt Miss Snv- ngo gets inc. Send the bill to Miss Savage and she will settle everything ou my account. I hud not known ttml pa did not want n bill sent to him for us girls , so 1 will sco thnt you lose nothing , Very respectfully , Mits. KIUIIY HAMMOND , 1039 L Street , City. This giiarantco sntistled the linn , and tlur ine the succeeding soventcen days she car ried from the otoro over SMO worth of goods. She came often nnd discussed Mason's well- known peoullurltlus nnd other mutters with such familiarity that the linn entertained no suspicions , and was wholly disarmed. But pay-day came , and with it the denounccmont. It was soon thereafter learned tlmtthero was no such tnmato as Miss Savage nt Judge Mason's homo ; that tlmro had been such n person there , but that she was no win Omaha ; thnt Mrs. Hammond did not contemplate making n visit to Colorado , and that the note purporting to bo from her was a very clover forgery. It did not InUe vary long nftor this to report the case to the police , and Officer Malouo was detailed to look up the nuittor and if possible to effect the arrest of the mys terious shopper. AH this happened yester day morning. From the inscription of the girl Kivon by Ashby and Millspauuh , Mr. Hammond Idcntillcd the girl as Franklo Currie , who had worked in the family homo a year or so boforo. Dilllgent search on the part of the ofllcers located the girl nt the home of G. M. Andrus , nt the corner of Eleventh nnd M streets. When llrst ac cused she sloutly denied her guilt , but wontc- nned when Malone produced n pair of hand- oulfs , nud promised to restore nil of the goods if the matter was kept , from the pub lic. This dodge would not work , however - over , nnd the ulrl was taken Into custody. Search for the Roods revealed the fact that great piles of them wore stored about the Andrus house. It is understood that her contldenco games extends - tends to other linns , and that her pillaging will aggregate over ? 400. Franlcio tolls many conflicting stories , representing that she Is a noico of John Fitzgerald to homo and denying : It to others. While not comely nor oven nice looking , she htv ? an intelligent face nnd evidently u fair education. She will have tier preliminary examination baforo Judge Houston to-morrow , when she will doubtless answer to the charge of forgery. An Interesting Interview. "I see that Congressman Dorsey sayahe has the renomination to congress in hand from the Third congressional district , " said n well known Dodge county politician to TUB I3in representative this morning , "and It may true , but I want to say ho must keep Ills hands of Richards in his candidacy for I lie governorship , or ho will llnd a 'nluger in the wood-pile' right in his own county. It is understood up our way that the political re lations are bomowhat straightened , and If it comes to a show down it will bo found that Richards is the strongest man of the two nt home. Mhul , I don't say that thcro is nn oprm rupture between Dorsoy and Richards , but it borders that way. Moreover it nettles our pcoplo to have Dorsoy claim that ho has the county in hand whenever he wants it. The boast ho mp.do in one of the atnto papers the other day was not that of a nhrowd politician , nnd Ills friends are inclined to think thut he was not correctly quoted , and some Of the be twixt nnd uotweons had-rathcr think that wny. " "But I see that Dorsoy Is quoted by some of the local papers as being u candidate for governor. Howls ill" "I don't think there is nnyting in It. I think Mr. Dorsey prefers to continue in congress , as ho suggests In a late Inter view. " "you think then that Richards is Dodge county's preferred candidate for Rovernorl" ' I certainly do , and Jack McCall Is the only man in the race- that can beat Mlm , John Watson doubtless has some strength , but not enough to cut any prroat figure. " "Suppose Governor Thayer should bo sprung by his friends , or that Attornoy'Gon- eral Leese.becomes n candidate , what then/ / " "I take It from what the governor says in run Bun this morning , that ho means Just what ho nays. As for General Lccso , 1 had n talk witli him u few days ago , nna ho dis tinctly stated to mo that he was ( jotting ready for a rest from public life. Besides , I ho should become n candidate , the rail- oads would turn tlio dogs of war loose against him. He would have an unpleasant Ight , and I believe ho appreciates it , but I ; steom him one of thu best men of the state. Thcro are a good many complications ahead of the republican party , nnd at this time speculation Is almost useless. " Incurable Insane.
