Tlic dispatches do- scrlbo the brutal encounter with all tlio elaboration of detail nnd Incident which experienced nnd capable correspondents could give to it , but the most graphic pen would fall far short of Riv ing an adequate idea of the brutality , the rufllanlsm , nnd the worse than savagery which hold sway during the two hours and eighteen minutes in which the two perfectly-trained mus cular animals put forth the utmost power of every muscle nnd sl.iow In the conflict for supremacy. It la not the brutality of the fight alone which justi fies condemnation of events of thlt char acter , but as well the rufllanism inci dental to them. Of the throe or four thousand who witnessed the Sul- livan-Kllrain biUtlo probably at least one-third wore rocltlosa and desperate men representatives ol the very worst elements of society. It needs but the suggestion of such a horde lot loose where no law was likely to interfere - torforo with thorn to glvo un Iden of the scenes that must have occurred before , during and attor the ilijht. The inevitable tendency ot association with Biich an occurrence is to bring forward all the brutal instincts nnd to glvo ruffianism in its largest moaning full play. A prixo fight such ns that of yesterday - torday presents nothing in all its de tails and inoidontd that is not debas ing nnd demoralizing , mid the evil in fluence docs not atop when the fight is at an end. Since it was not possible or practica ble to prevent thlH exhibition of bru tality , all reputable citizens will bo glad it is ever , so that hereafter the columns of the nowspanors'wlll not bo burdened with the prizo-fight literature , and those whoso minds have boon absorbed with it can dismiss such worthless matter - tor from further attention. It is to bo hope a it will bo very many years before the American people will again bo called upon to interest themselves in an event of this kind , nnd to witness so bold a disregard ot law nrtd execu tive authority 03 its occurrence in volved. Meantime the muscular ruf fians who participated in yesterday's battle will doubtless make a tour of the country , separately or together , giving exhibitions only a little loss demoraliz ing than the fight itself. It may bo ar opportune time to suggest the fjenoral adoption of more stringent measure ! than now exist prohibiting thit , class ol exhibitions. SEEKIXQ INDEPENDENCE. The enterprising people of Wichita , Kan. , have instituted in a very earnest way a movement designed to secure the independence of the material interest' of that state of the alleged unfair domi nation of Kansas City. Thov clahr that the prosperity and progress of the Missouri city have boon achieved by menus of the commerce derived from Kansas , and that the people of Kansas have had none of the bene fits. An appeal is made to Kansans - sans to cut loose from the com mercial control ol a community that 1ms no sympathy with Kansas , am to combine their efforts to build up 'the cities in their own stato. Every consid eration urges KansiVs , says ono writer to strive earnestly to accomplish com plete commercial Independence , anc break the rule of Kansas City ever Kan sas. "At what date wo will bo free , ' goes on tha writer , "I can not state , but wo will bo free whenever the people o : Kansas become equally Voariod with taunts , sneers and jeers of Kansas City Whenever the people of Kan sas realize .that they are the masters and Kansas City i pauper dependent on Kansas , then will bo a degree of freedom. ' Whenovoi Kansas in earnest demands a system o railroads whoso dividends are made np from a shrinkage of the systems at Kan sas City , und whoso interests are inimi cal , to the growth of Kansas City , Mo. wo shall have a degree of Indopend once. " Nothinir could so well as this illustrate the Spirit In which Wichita is now seeking to break the commercial power of Kansas City so far as the state of Kansas is concerned. The state pride and local ambition which prompt this movement art not to bo contemned. Tha people of Wichita are quiti right in endeavoring to build up thoii city and to impress upon the people o Kansas the duty and expediency of civ ing primary consideration to the interests osts of their own state. If they are ii the position ot dependence alleged with Kansas City exerting an arbltrar ; control ever thomcoinmqrcially to the ! disadvantage.they will do the wise am pronor thing in ridding themselves o such a domination if it bo possible to d .so. But is it possible ? The writer al ready quoted thinks eo. Ho suggest railroad lines to the north througl Omaha for eastern connections am says : An Omaha connection , not allied to Kan sas City , Mo. , would result In the Santa Fc and Rock Island giving a "Kansas rate based on Chicago and not on ICansas City a all , and ( his connection Kansas demands nov as much as It ever demanded the Rook Is land railroad. A railroad from Omaha , wit feeders running In every direction , virtual ) ; puts Kansas on a Chicago basis , for the reason son that If tha Omaha connection has no interest torest in Jvansas City , It could make Its rat based on Chicago throughout Kansas will : out infringing on tha "interstate act. " o violating tha loose moral coda of "irun line managers , " at Kansa * City. We wl si'ppoto a railroad from Omaha to Etnporla from Emporta to Newton or El Dorado , fror Newton or 121 Dorado to the Neutral Btri as a mala lino. W will suppose tht branches from the northeast and northwest southeast and southwest , and from the oas and west nro built by It. Wo will supposi that tbli railroad' * interests wore all Omn ha , Chicago , north and east interests.Yi will suproio that Omaha ia every way endeavors deavors to compete ia thi * new field witl Kansas City ; that it * Jobbora are bubiues men. What would bo the result to Kama ] Wtut the effect ou , Kansas City I A * soon i Kansii take * told in earnut thi * rallioa nnd others will bo built. Kanias bus enough of Kansas City rofiiU' what wo ncod is Omaha , Chicago , Memphis , Now Orleans , St. Louis nnd Texas. Omnlm needs Kansas trndo as much as wo need n decent freight rate from the cast. Our Interest anil Omu- ha's Is the snmo. Omaha's attitude toward Kansas City is the attitude every soif-ro- Bpcctlng Kansnn sh6uld have. There Is nothing In this in the least degree impracticable , nnd the consum mation ot such a project can not bo re garded ns by any moans an improbable event ot the futuro. That It offers a way of relieving Kansas producers and merchants of the exactions and ot the arbitrary domination of which they complain , apparently with ample justi fication , seems obvious. The progress of the movement , which is evidently very earnest , will bo regarded with an interest not confined to the people of Kansas. NOT to DO outdone by Montana or Washington , Idaho also holds her con stitutional convention on the assurance of her delegate In congress that n good constitution is a ready passport for being - ing admitted Into the union in 1800. The governor's last report of Idaho's population and sinews ot Industry and progress Is decidedly encouraging nnd , if reliable , speaks well for that terri tory. The year on which ho reported , 1887 , showed a valuation of twenty-one millions of taxable property , a populu- of one hundred thousand , eight hun dred nnd.sovonty miles of railroad and n production of the precious metals to the value ot nearly nine millions of del lars. Of course Idaho has mndo consid erable advance since that time and pro poses-to she wit in the census of 1890 , when she knocks at the doors of con- crcs1 ? for admission. Unfortunately for Idaho's nsoirations the Mormon ques tion Is a troublesome thorn in her side. No matter hosv much her physical de velopment nnd population may entitle her to statehood the fact that In certain counties adjacent to Utah , fourteen out of every liftoon inhabitants are Mormons will make the subject of her admission a dollcato one for congress to handle. Tnuim is a difference of opinion in the south as to the proportions likely to bo reached by the scheme to establish a negro colony in Mexican territory , but the opinion in the southwest the bind ; bolt Is that the exodus will bo a big movement. Should the result confirm this view the south within a tow years might seriously feel the loss of negro labor which it could not replace in its cotton and rice fields. An extensive migration of the negroes of the south might assist in solving the race prob lem , and in this respect would bo important , but It could hardly fall to materially af fect those southern industries in which white labor cannot perform equal service with that of the negro , while at the same time costing more. There are interesting- possibilities in this col onization scheme , but its success is not sufficiently 'assured to render a-discus sion of them immediately profitable. Tine spring wheat crop of the north' west , from current reports , will not be more than a fair average crop. It is , however , not best to pin one's faith nb' bolutoly on huch predictions. Like the bulletins sent out last year , the reports m-j bo wholly misleading end the returns - turns from North nnd South Dakota as well as from. Minnesota may bo better than they are painted. Ouo thing is certain , however , Nebraska is very likely to astonish her sister states with the quantity and quality of her whenl crop for 18S9 , and bids fair to wrest the laurels from her neighbors to the north as a great wheat growing stato. AMKIUCA. will shod few tears if Mr , Hadji Hassoin Ghooly Kahn really in tends to shako the dust of America of his foot on account of the wicked news paper llings at his master , the shahnnc himself. Diplomatic relations with Persia do not count for much on this side of the Atlantic. Tim sensitive Persian docs not buy American con : nor oat American porK , and as we have no eastern question to bother us , Uncle Sam may snap his fingers at the depart ing foreigner. THE scheme of a Kansas politician t < induce the colored population of the south to locate in Oklahoma is rathoi impracticable , for the reason that th < territory is so small that It will not uf ford room for the rapid increase ot the negro race. A moro feasible move would bo to confine the whites wlthir the limits of Oklahoma , and give to th < blacks the rest of the country. TUB invitation issued to members o the dafunot greenback party to assem bio in their respective districts am : choose delegates to a convention to be hold for the purpose of roorganizinfi the party , is very much lilto the Invita tion to parsons to attend the romtor mont of a departed friend.

Sc there will bo no chance for a squabble ever this matter by the next body of state law makers.

Osborno Ward , Librarian Dop't of Labor , Washing ton , D. C. Dear Friend I have thli day finished rending my copy of "Ancient Lowly , " which reached mo n few days ago. I want to congratulate ) you upon the comple tion of your great work nnd assure you that In the "Anclont Lowly" you have contrib uted not only tha greatest work to the labor causa , but to humanity at largo. Your work n n procailont for students ot sociology , original nnd unique. I apprehend you have opened up n field until now unox- ptorcd mill utterly incomprehensible until approached preached from your point of vlow. Your work nmkos manifest the solonco of social evolution. I was olcasod with your exposition ot the iwsltlon occupied by Jesus m the ancient la. bor movement. Noo-lJlatonHm hm so thor oughly succeeded In burying the phtlosouhy of Christ ntnlil the debris of n theology orlg- Inatlnir In the slave system of the early pagan ngos , thnt many ot the most earnest lovers of ImmnnU.v It has bsen my good for tune to moot absolutely hate the nnmo of Jesus Christ. Because u man Is a labor reformer Is no proof that ho Is devoid ot prejudice ; and you have thrown unon the history of the past u flood of light that will do much to assist us In understanding the full slgnltlcnnoo of the original Christian movement. Your book furnishes mo with positive data to maintain dogmatically what has hitherto been almost entirely theoretical with mo , mul Is a moit ponderous argument In favor of the position that nil problems concerning the human race cun bo solved only upon an economic rusts ; that there can bo no freedom without economic freedom. Your romnrics on conscience nnd Its origin , Its connection with the competitive system , etc. , suggested altogether now nnd strange thoughts to mo. In short , I neglected every thing possible on this earth until I had read every wont of "Anclont Lowly. " I sincerely hope thnt the readers of the world may bo iillllctcd with the "concupis cence Unit enthralled mo , " so that the de mand for your book may never bo equalled bj the supply. Your friend , T. FULTOX QJLNTT. An Open IjRttcr. , July S. To the Editor ot Tna BEB i Realizing that you do-itro to do all you can for tlio welfare of Mobraska In general - oral , and Omaha in particular , I address this short note to the members of the Grand Army of the Republic In Nebraska , and par * ticularly in the city of Omaha. It Is Important , I think , that the next na tional encampment of the G. A. ti. bo hold at Omaha , and if proper oftort la put forth we san secure it. When at Columbus , O. , ono year ago , I took a self-imposed duty on. my self at the national encampment to secure support this year In every department I could , and there Is a favorable outlook to so- cnro the oncuuipinont , If citizens of Omaha do their uart. Itw.lltaUo quite a sum of money to entertain the encampment , ns I know Omaha would , should she decide to , and some of this , yes a good share of It , could bo given by the railroads centering here , who would have largo receipts during the week of encampment. The Grand Army and friends generally are about ready to como to n city directly In the center of the United Status , and central for the thousands of Grand Army members and old soldiers In the states of Iowa , Missouri , Illinois , Minnesota seta , Dakota , Colorado , ICansas and Ne braska. So , Mr. Editor , please glvo this space in your columns , und before our delegates go to the national eucampmont at Milwaukee Auguat 24,18S9 , wo should act and sand by thorn the keya to the "Gato CJity" for the en campment of 1800. I will bo glad to aid all I can In carrying this to n successful conclus ion , and will bo at the call of tha board of trade , mayor , or any committee ) designated to act In the promises. Respectfully , Jens 0. AVOIDED THE ASSESSMENT. American Waterworks Company Escape - / capo Assessment. The board of equalization gave attention to all sorts and kinds of complaints. Tha Second end ward taxpayers filed a numerously signed petition setting forth In general toruis that their property Is assessed too high ; that favoritism had been shown by the assessor and much partiality hud been practiced all over the w.ird. No action In tbo-mnttar was taken by the board and will not bo until all the other complaints shall have been disposed of. It scorns to bo the general opinion , however , that a reduction of about 10 per cent should bo mudo In that ward. The board has just discovered that no ra- turns are reported from the American Waterworks company property nud an examination into that matter is now be ing mudo. The course to bo vursucd makes It necessary to ascertain first what Dloclcs are occupied in Florence by the company , and then order a special assessment. Lot seven In block ono , on which there are no improvements , Is returned in the name of Parks , with a valuation of $10,000. Whether- the assessor Intended that to cover the en tire holdings of the wutor works company suoms to bo a question , The oftlcars of tha company v/oro called before the board yes terday afternoon to make an explanation. - f- - A Dn.id Infant. The body of an Infant child was found by two boys yesterday morning In tlio brush near Smith's brickyard , corner of Dorcas and Twenty-fourth streets. The Infant wai wrapped In cotton batting and lay In a plna box. It is not known whether death resulted from natural causes or violence.

The city must pay all damages accruing owing to n chuugo In grade , or they may bo assessed against the property bot.oilttod , The mnyox snys tie can BCD nothing In this to Invalidate Councilman Lowr.v's ordinance. The charter docs not provide that the city shall not boar n portion tion of tlio expanse If II Is so doslrod. Tha road cnn bo made to bear the entire oxpoiisi ) , but if the city wishes to contribute , there is nothing In the charter to prevent.

" WILLIAMS * Nobody Held Hcnpouslblo Kor Ilia Tnrrlblo Kftto. Tbo Inst throe witnesses examined before the coroner's jury looking Into the cause of tha death of Private Edward Williams , were Privates McCarthy , Hall and Shntluolc. McCarthy testified to finding the dead body on the track und running down the track to toll the news. Ho did not know who the dead man was until n party of soldiers came up with a lantern at the ttuio. Sluttuck'fl testimony had nothing to do With the case. Hull , the private who said that near the corral ho heard n voluo cry out "For God's ' sake don't ' do thut again , " also gave very moacro testimony. Ho admitted to ono of tbo Jurors .that most ot the storioi tola by him and Shattuck were to avoid bolng pun ished for bmng uway from the hospital uftcr night without leave. At 10 n. m. yesterday the coroner returned from the fort and Instructed the Jury to bring In u verdict on the testimony already offered , us nobody else could by .found wl > o know anything about the case. The Jury men therefore withdrew and brought in the following verdict a few minutes later : "Wo find that the deceased , Ed. Williams , private In G company , Second lnfuntrycomo 'to his death on the night of tlio 3d of July by bolng crushed und run ever by a train of cars on the Fremont , Kllthorn & Missouri Valley railway ( probably by train No. 05) ) ; and thnt ho was undoubtedly under the in- tlucnco of intoxicants. No blame Is at tached to the railroad compauy or Us oui- ploves. " The verdict does not directly blame the accused or anyone else for the death of Williams , and was so worded because of a lurking suspicion that ho might have bunu murdoiod because of the cuts on the head. HAS NOT Dr. Miller Hlmply Bhirted Itoaponsl- blllty for the " Lira " Bulletin . A report , not entirely correct , ha : boon not afloat to the effect that Dr. George L. Miller had withdrawn from the Now York Llfo Insurance company. When questioned regarding the matter , ho said : ' 'A fuUo Im pression bas been given out. I have not re signed , though I may give up the work en tirely later on. I have simply usked Mr. Booth to rollovo mo of all care of our now , building , and I presume this Is the founda tion for a rumor that I have withdrawn. It was understood from the beginning that I should not bo bothoiud with uny of the detail - tail work rolutivo to the building , but every thing lias been referred to mo Just the same , and from this responsibility I have , in n letter - tor to Mr. Booth , asked to be relieved.

Smith & Co. for the paving of Twentieth street , from Center to VInton , was duo to tha fact that the funds available for paving purposes are running low and that the Second end ward , In which the proposed puvlng dis trict Is located , has received a fair share of the year's paving Improvements , whllo the Seventh ward has boon , by error , loft out. It was to enable the council to orJar certain streets In thn latter ward paved , that tlio Twentieth street contract was rejected , 1'aclllc Express Building. Next Monday B. M.
