The success of the negotiations for opening the Sioux reservation is not yet nsBurod , but the outlook Is not al together unfavorable. On Thursday the commission encountered , nt the Cheyenne river ngoncy , the flrsC threat of violence that has boon offered it , and although the Incident was confined to n couplb of young bucks who may Imvo acted In n spiritof briwndosimply and to gain notoriety , it was , neverthe less , suggestive ot a strong undercur rent of hostility to" the proposed ar rangement. The vnluo of General Crook as a member of the commission was again conspicuously demonstrated bythisoccurronco. Ho told the Indians in forcible tormb that no interference In any \vay with the signing of the treaty would bo allowed , and that If thorn were not police enough to protect every signer ho would bring soldiers enough to do so. This warning was quite sufllclont to produce ordoj' , for the Indians well understood what was mount when General Crook told thorn that if soldiers were brought ho would make it warm for them. The commis sion has had a trying experience , and it IB not surprising that it should bo in disposed to "falter with "palntodbrceoh- cluutcd Indians" who for what ever reason manifest a willing ness to make trouble and ag gravate the difficulties of the situ ation by stirring up the passions ot their follows. There appears to bo no room for doubt thai the progress of the comm is- slon would have been much more rapid and easy , and the prospect of a success ful termination of the negotiations much brighter , but for the outside in fluence that has been Insidiously brought to bear on the Indians. It Is not questionable that members of the Indian do foil tip as3ociatlon have boon active in creating and stimulating op position to the treaty , and with a de gree of success that hm greatly embar rassed and retarded , the negotiations. Referring to tno reported meddling of these alleged philanthropists , the Now York Herald pointedly hays : "These men deserve the condemnation of the whole country. To put a straw in the way of the Sioux commission now IB u crime against civilization. It is al- moat impossible to conceive of u man who pretends to have a parllclo of pa triotism in his bosom conspiring to keep the Sioux in the thralls of super stition and barbarism , and dwarfing a magnificent stale for the sake of a senile and false theory that the Indian is ul- wavs ruined by contact with white men. " That there arc such men , how ever , there is abundant reason to believe Irom the evidences of an adverse outside influence which the progress of the negotiations has disclosed. In talk ing to the Indians nt the Cheyenne Rivoragoncy General Crook drew an il lustration from his experience in removing - " moving miners from the Black Hills country which ought to make an impres sion on the more intelligent Indians. 'As fast as I took them away from ono place , " said General Crook , "they came In nt another. It will bo the same hero , und the while man will soon bo'hero in numbers to crowd'you out. " That is inevitable , and those who advise the Indians to reject a treaty which pro vides for them and their pos terity permanent homos , and proposes to give llioin every opportunity to obtain the advantages of civilization and enjoy the privileges of American citizenship , are their very worst enemies , whether they profess to bo governed by a philanthropic In to rest in the Indians or are otherwise actu- dtdd. The demand for the opening of this great reservation will not cease until this IB accomplished , and there is no probability that the Indians will ever bo offered bettor terms than are now proposed. The fnto of the nego tiations cannot much longer remain in doubt , as it is likely the commission will conclude its labors within the present month. A TALE OF TITO CTTIES. There is an interesting and instruc tive controversy going on between the cities of Portland and liangor , Maine. It relates to which ono of tiiom is "the drunkoncst city on the continent. " A very ronmrknblo discussion , certainly , to bo carried on between two communi ties ot a stale , which , for more than a generation has had upon its statute book n law forbidding the manufactu.ro and sale of intoxicating liquor , and which , five years ago , by a popular majority of forty-six thousand , adopted an amend ment to the constitution , making prohibition a part of the funda mental law. Yet the controversy Is absolutely eorlous , , and it has brought out some revelations as to the workings of prohibition in Maine which are of in terest to the ontlro country. Recently a Portland newspaper charged that Danger was the drunkon- cst city on the continent , to which a Danger paper responded that Portland was over-modest and was itself entitled to that pro-oinlnenco. The fact that prohibition has never been enforced in Portland lnis boon ulllrmod repeatedly by the most reputable and trustworthy witnesses. At no time since the prohi bition law was enacted has it not been possible to obtain liquor at retail In Maine's principal city , and foryoara , according to unimpeachable testimony , it has boon as easy to get liquor in Port land as if prohibition had never boon hoard ot in Maine. It appears that about the suruo state ot affairs has pre vailed at liangor. That city is the homo of Congressman Boutollo , who , when not discharging the duties of statesmanship nt "Washington , edits the Bangor WM < l uwl Courier. Mr. Bou tollo has always favored prohibition , and for this reason the recent confession by Ills puuor of the complete fuiluro to enforce the law in the city of his home can not bo fairly rojootod by pro hibitionists any where. It is testimony that is unassailable and conclusive. According to this most reputable and competent witness , the constitution and law of Maiuo have been openly violated during nil the y.ours slnco prohibition was enacted in the city ot Ills residence ) . A large number of liquor Raloons have boon in open operation , and the city has been pretty much nil the time under the rule of tb-o baloous , The IVhiy urn ! Conner declared that there has boon the most flagrant and shameless exhibition of nullification over soon in n state of the American union. For u few days during n strike of lumberman the sn- eons yioldcd to an order o ! the author ities and wore closed , but the exigency liavlng passed they were reopened , and ns Mr. Boutollo's paper states it , "tho drunkard-mills of the city nro again running on full liruo and grinding out their sickening -grist of inebriates. " The testimony ot the editor is sup ported by that of prominent clergymen , one of whom writes that the sale of in toxicant ? has boon unrestrained , and another that "Bnngor has acquired nn 'inonviablo notoriety because of the iborty allowed to those who trafilc in : hc degradation and ruin of their fol- Why is it that the authorities have ) ocn unable to cnforco prohibition in these two eltlo's , which together Imvo not moro tlmn half the population of Omaha. ? Mr. Boutollo supplies the ex planation. It is the simple ono that the public sentiment of the city would not sustain tha enforcement of tliQyStato iuw. The explanation applies gener ally where prohibition fails In cities , as almost universally it does fail. On the other hand the weight [ ot public senti ment sustains 'high license wherever that system provnlhi , and the regula tions under it nro consequently uni formly olToctlvo. The tale of the two Maine cities is replete with interest as strliclng proof that prohibition docs not prohibit. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ run MACUIA'E KNOOKED OUT. The rank partisanship that has pre vailed in our school board for years , to the detriment of taxpayers ana dis cipline of the schools , has at lnst-ro- coivcd a backset. The apportionment by the president of the board of the various chairman ships of the committees culminated in an angry protest from Messrs. McCon- ncll , Clarke and Sholos against the ap pointment of democrats to chairman ships of important cQinmittcos. Now , why should any man bo barred from the chairmanship ot an important committee in the board of education because ho is a democrat , or oven a , pro hibitionist or mugwump , if qualified for the duties incumbent upon the chalrmmiV Why should anyboQy draw the party line In a school board which is supposed to have no relation whatever to the political com plexion of its members ? Why should the president of the board bo censured for appointing whomsoever ho believes to bo best fitted for the heads of com mittees regardless of all party bias ? If a man's politics nro to bo the test of fit ness to fill an important chairmanship in the school board , why not also apply the religious test and insist upon giv ing the important committees only to Lutherans or Presbyterians ? The letter - tor and spirit of the law has excluded politics and religion from the public schools. The sooner this principle is recognized and lived up to the bettor it will bo for the public schools. TJIK BEK knows nothing about the inside workipgs of the school board so far as they relate to its recent organiza tion. It is an open secret , however. that there have been combines and inside rings in the board for years. These cliques have had control of the schools long enough , and they should be broken up. It is unpleasant to wash the dirty linen of the board in public and wo will desist from going into par ticulars. Sullico it to say that the patrons of the schools are anxious for a radical cliango in school management. Viewed from a rank partisan standpoint , President Goodman's ap pointments of committee chair manships may bo offensive , but from the standpoint of the taxpayer and school patron , they appear to be judi cious and in the main satisfactory. . Mr. Fred Millard Is known to bo a prudent business man , and lie is emi nently qualified for the chairmanship of the committee on claims , notwith standing the fact that ho voted for Grover Cleveland. Mr. Henry T. Clark has been very successful in all his financial deals , and therefore is the right man at the head of the finance committee , notwithstand ing the faot that ho had always boon a straight railroad. republican. Mr , Popploton , being a lawyer , wafc very properly placed nt the head of the judiciary committee , notwithstanding the fact that ho cast his first vote for John A. McShano for governor. Mr. Rces as chairman of the committee too on supplies , is in every respect ns competent to supervise the purchase of school furniture , stalloneryinks , , lamps , etc. , as if ho had voted the republican ticket from the tlmo ho became of ago. Mr. Points rnay bo a mugwump , but his qualification for the chairmanship of the committee on teachers nobody will dare dispute. Ho certainly will fill the position ns acceptably to the patrons of the schools , If not to the schoolmarms - marms , as it has boon filled by Mr. Co- burn , who votes the straight republican ticket. Wo bollovo that the citizens of Omaha will rojolcn that for once the old slates have boon smashed and the partisan machine , which should have no place in the school board , has boon knocked out. Tun Kansas state board of ngrioul- lura Is doing the people of that state some service as shown by its admirable monthly crop and weather bulletin , This report is both reliable anil thorough and its facts and figures nro usually prepared with uncommon carp. It would appear that for the month end ing Juno 80 the excellence of the crops has been generally maintained and that n large harvest Is anticipated. In the absence of like official data for Ne braska it may bo reasonably Inferred Unit the crop prospects for this stuto are equally as good if not bettor. The national crop agricultural bureau re cently gave this state n rating higher than that ot Kansas , and there has boon nothing to indicate that Its standard has boon lowered. AN Interesting case has just boon laid before the lown state board of rail road commissioners. It arises out of the complaint ot Harlnn , n town on n branch road of the Rock Island , which demands proper railroad service and conncctlowwith th6 main lino. The plea made Ly the Rock Island Is that owing to Wq"reduced tariff rates or dered by Uio pommlsslonors , that railroad - road Is obfgyd | to reduce Its train ser vice and npcp.mmou'ntlons In order to prevent pecuniary loss.

The action of Mr. I'arnoll In withdrawing from the cnso before the Pnrnoll commis sion , was forcoil upon him by the refusal of the court to order the production of the books of the Loynl nnd Patriotic Lcaeuo. The National League was compelled to pro duce all its nccounts in the hope that by the drag not process , some entry might bo found which might give a color of truth to the Brass charges made by the London Times. Mr. Pnrncll's ' counsel , having reason to bo llovo that the whole conspiracy ugalnst the Irish leader had boon hatched in the callow councils of the Loyal nnd Patriotic League , usKod , as they had n right to do , that the books of that organization should bo sub jected to n similar Investigation. There was good reason for this. The younii secretary of the Loynl nnd Patriotic League was a conspicuous witness against Mr. Pariioll ; ho was the confessed go-butwoon In the Decoll ations that resulted In the Plpott forporioa , nnd the re is nmplo room for the belief that ho was the original Instigator of tno plot. If the commission desired to net at the bottom of the affair , and that is what It was ap pointed for , It should have ordered the pro duction of the books without argument or hesitation. If it w.is simply appointed as n desperate ofllclal device to throw discredit on Mr. Parnoll and the homo rule movement , its refusal to couiuol the uroduction of the books is easily explained. Mr. Parnoll's withdrawal from the ca ° o at this stage is not likely to have much influence upon its final decision. Ih'e evidence is nearly nil in on both sides and thb court has doubtless deter mined upon its' ' decision. But Mr. Parnoll's action concentrates upon the partiality of the court the attention of two continents ; it ex poses tno nutuius'of the commission and defeats - feats the ulterior purposes of its organizers. ! < * The legislative term of the French cham ber of deputies ; which began m December , 18S5 , closed on the IStli instant.

The now elections are to bo hold on the old plan of siiiRlo districts , and ono of the lust acts of the chamber on Saturday was to * prohibit a candidate from contesting moro than ono seat at the same time. This will prevent any hippodromini ; on the part of General Uoulnnger , und at the snmo time save the trouble of holding so many special elections. So far as BoulaiiRer is concerned , this step scorns to have been h'ardly necessary , ns the popularity of the "bravo general" has vastly declined slnco Ills absurd flight. Not only has he made himself ridiculous In tno eyes of the French nation , but ho has gravely com promised his position with the party of "rovongo" by his suspicious al liance with the monarchists. While Bou- langor and the other enemies of the republic have lost ground , the Tirard-Conatans min istry has visibly strengthened itself by its vigorous measures as well as by the brilliant success of the Paris exposition. Whatever fa to the coming elections may have m re serve for the third republic , it is reasonably certain by this ttmo that the French nation will not tolerate a monarchy , whether of the Bourbons or Bonapartcs. Should the ro- pubno bo overthrown It would bo succeeded by anarchy and convulsions , unless a now Bonaparte should arise to establish u now military despotism on the ruins of political liberty. * * While Italy maintains a vast army nnd is constructing formidable fleets her people are starvinc. The patriotic pretext for this enormous military expenditure is the danger that Franco would dominate the Mcdlttcrancan sea if Italy should bo weak and defenseless. Yet to the French at Magenta and Sol fun no in 1S59 the Italian monarchy owes its existence. Cur- toz7.a and Lissi , in the war of 1SOO , were hu miliating Italian dofeaU. No greater boon could bo conforrcd upon the Italian ! ) than a dlsbandniont of their Immonpo standing army and a cessation of their costly attempts to cope with the great nnd wealthy European powura in naval armament. If the European balance of power bo not n more fiction Italy is safe under tbo protection of Germany , Austria and England from the encroach ments of Franco , without the necessity of maintaining vast armies and navies. But there is no disposition on the part of Franco to oppress their neghbor nnd former nlly beyond the Alps. On the other hand , evidence is not wanting of an ex treme willlngrijyssin some of the politicians of Italy to prqvokp n quarrel with Franco upon almost nny < prctoxt , if they could bo as sured of the support of Germany and Aus tria. A war with Franco would enable the Italians to puPjtJo u satisfuotiry test their military strength : "While the government Is thus draining" 'resources of the Italians for military expenditure , the people are sinking ' ing deeper anc , d9'opcr In poverty nnd dis tress. In some populous districts the people arc dying of hunger by thousands. If the Italians should nbUndon their warlike policy they would bo onUUloil to develop their in dustries and rqcut'ornto ' their strength.

For over two years the Egyptians have felt safe behind tbo formications at Wady Haifa , but have maintained a strictly defcnsivo atti tude , their efforts being confined to prevent ing any concentration of rebels wltnln range of that stronghold. Tbo Soudanese , whoso headquarters are on the Nllo , about ono kun- drud miloi south of Wady Haifa , have boon afraid to attack that place , but have Im proved Buverul opportunities to offer battle to Egyptian detachments outsldo , and have ro- pcaicdly sought to tempt the Egyptians Into the open. It has been believed since the full of 1SS7 that when the Sou danese got ready to ndvuuco in force they would not nttompt to tnVo Wndy Haifa , but would endeavor to turn that wrongly fortified plnoo nnd establish themselves fur ther down the river. This Is oxnctly what ttip.v have done , and tbo Egyptians have re- pontcdly declared that in Una event the In vaders could easily bq dealt with , since tlioy would bo between the two garrisons of Assouan nnd Wndn Haifa. Of course , no other result of this renewal of trouble can bo expected than the complete overthrow of- the Soudanese : nnd It docs not ncom likely that the Klmllfti will bo permitted to retain his foothold In Dongola , where Uio presence of his forces Is n standing monaco to Egypt.

The countries taking part In the conference for the discussion anil settling of its terms were Paraguay , Uruguay , the Argentine lie- public , Chill , Brazil , Bolivia , und Peru. The great aim was to secure uniformity of law touching the innumerable and vexing cases of commercial litigation arising between cit izens of different countries. While it has not been possible to scciiro this entirely , yet much lias been gained by the final agree ment in which the delegates from , all the powers united. The contracting states bind themselves to rccognUo the legal processes of each other , und to recognbo and cnforco , each within its own limits , decisions made in the courts of any of the nthnrs affecting fecting its own citizens. The establishment of boards of arbitration , in certain cases , is also provided for , nnd tluiir decisions , when arrived at under conditions named , arc to beheld held ns binding by all the states. All this marks n great advance in the simplification of the business relations of the merchants of thcso various countries. It indicates , also , doclded urogross in the appreciation and adoption of civil l/od methods of .sottling in ternational controversies on the part of gov ernments which wo have boon too much nc- oustomod to regard ns barbarous. * * - * The law for the abolition of shivnry 5n Brazil went into effect , last year , and tliu papers of liio do Janeiro have been giving accounts of its operation and results during the year.

In short , it is evident from the experience of the past year that the abolition of slavery in Brazil has not brought about the evils which were pro- dieted from it , but has been advantagrous-in many ways to the people of all races in the country.

AN IRON-CLAD BANKING LAW , The Construction Put Upon Some of Its Provisions. WILL ACCEPT REGENCY HONORS. ' - H-H Important OABCS Ronn to llio United States Supreme Court Gnetor'fl lnrincrs Alllnncc City News Itonm. LINCOLNHUUBAU opTnuOMAni UBH , ) 10 * ) P SriiKnr , \ LINCOLNJnlv 10. I The attorney general construes section U of ttio now banking law a follows ! To the Honor.iblo Hoard of Uaulc Exam iners Oontlomnnr * The most important question arising at this time , under the provisions - visions of the banking law , comes under the provisions of auction 11 ; nnd whllo I bellovo that the Intoiition of the legislature was to require nil coiporatlons , firms or Individuals , llolng n banking business , to do the business on Its own uapltnl , und not upon borrowed capital , and for this reason tbo ro-dlscount- lug of commercial paper la not considered ns money borrowed under the law , but section 11 seems to imply that n baulc can loan to any ono firm , ono corporation or 0110 individ ual , n Bum that shall not bo over 30 per cent of the capital of the banking institutions making the loan , ft mo.v bo true that \ corporation or a ( Irm or individual doing a banking business en a small capital may borrow 'JO per cent of the capital of a bunk , ynt under the provisions of section 14 it Is provided that when the conditions of the banu are such ns to Jeopardize ardize the interests of the depositor ? , and this fact is communicated to the attorney gunonil , It Is his duty to npplv for a rccoivnr und wind uu the business of the bank. By this remedy It would Boom that there is n check upon the excessive borrowing of bankIng - Ing Institutions. Tlio whole inaltor of examinations has been placed In the hands of the commis sioners , and it Is for them tu determine whether the business of the bank is con ducted in nn unsafe and unauthorized man ner , such ns would make it unsafe and in expedient for the bank to continue m busi ness. ness.And I nm of the opinion that under tlio provisions of section 11 , a bank Is prohibited from loaning to nny ono person , llrm or cor poration , a sum to exceed 'M per cent of its capital. And , further , that ono corporation , firm or individual , whether doing n banking business or not , is prohibited from Incurring a liabil ity to any ono bank in nny amount exceeding 20 per cent of that bank's capital. Respect fully submitted , WIU.IIM LKKSB , Attornuy General. For Itcgcnoy Honors. It is cald that M. J. Hull nnd J. T. Mnlla- lieu decline to accept regency honors another term. The former has been n member of tbo board of university regents during the past six years from the Second , nnd the lat ter from the Third congressional district. H is learned that the precedent has been to elect two members of the board from each of the throe districts , and it is probable that there will be no departure fiom it. At any rate the Second district has three prominent candidates in the parsons of E. L. King of Polk , J. L. Kuloy of Webster , nnd E. M. Corroll of Thnyer. nnd the third ono in the person of Senator Jewctt , of Custer. It is understood that cither ono of the three gentlemen named from the Second will ac cept the honor , if nominated and elected , but .that they will not make n light for it. The friend * of Senator Jowctt , from the third district , simply say that they can press him Into service. Ouster' * Kiirmors1 Alliance. Articles incorporating the Custer County Farmers' alliance , purchasing and selling company , wore filed for record in the oflleo of Uio secretary of state to-day. H Is stipu lated that the company may do business at nny point in the county , but its principal place is fixed nt Biokon Bow. The capital stock authorized is $100,000 , which is divided into 10,000 shares of J10 each. The purpose of the company is to deal in nil products of the farm , and buy and sell all supplies needed and used y its stockholders. Incorporators - porators : Joseph Sevcryus , W. C.

Lander- man. \Vnlt7 nitist Stay In tlio Asylum , Notwithstanding the report of Ur. Grlmos und Attorney Dawcs , the commissioners ap pointed to Inquire Into the sanity of Jacob Waltz , who was declared to bo insane and committed to the asylum about a year ago , Judge Field rofuscd to order his dUcnarge. It appears that Onmos and Dawns made an exhaustive examination into the condition of Waltz a few days ago , and Pronounced him perfectly sane nnd recommended his release fiom the asylum. In the face of this the Judge stated that ho did not believe him to bo n fit subject to run at largo nnd ordered him to remain at tha asylum for a while yet. The decision created no little surprise. It will bo remembered that the commission was appointed upon the prayer of n relative , who allowed that his commitment had bcon made by n physician who had not properly examined him , and that ho had never been Insane. In United StnlOH MiiDrcino Court. The case of Neil II. Bollong vs the Schuy- lor National bank , brought to tbo state supreme premo court on error from Col fax county , goes to the United States bupiomo court , likewise on error. It will bo remembered that this cnso became somewhat noted be cause of the usurious interest tbo respondent charged the relater some two or three years ngo , and which became the ground for u series ries of the most bitterly contested cases over fought in the courts of Colfax county. The caxu was brought to tho' supreme court on error , and goes to tlui highest court on the ground that the supreme court erred upocinlly in not making Uio jmlinueutof the district court , for the sum of 8-Mlt , correct in accordance with its judgment , with such other relief us justice may require. It seems that the party plaintiff is dissutilled with the judgment because of its sinallness , while the defendant kicks because the plaintiff got judgment in any amount. H is said that the defendant also contemplated taking the cause to the highest court of com potent Jurisdiction. The case of S. W. Little vs Ezoklcl Giles also goes to the United States supreme court. Interest will center lu this statement whan It 1s understood that this Is the old Unwuon will case.
