K nro the days when the public contractors have their Innings. who are subscribing liberally to the stock of the interna tional salt trust must bo u pretty ircsh lot. IN thoflo piping1 tinios of peace it is well to prepare for what is to corao. An oxtrn session of congress is all but assured. IT is fortunate indeed tlmt Oklahoma only wants a territorial government. rSho might h vo also caught the fever and asuirod to tlio dignity of statehood. Tnu stories of crop failures in various sections of the northwest are vigorously denied. If this keeps on the average crop report will bo ns unreliable us the weather bulletin. - THE noble rod man finds that after all discretion is better than bombast.

ANOTIIUK scheme is on foot to har ness Niagara. Tlio day is evidently not far oil when Niagara will take an important part in furnishing light and motive power for n largo part of Now York state. J30ISK CITY has bpen named ns tlie capital of Idaho for the qoxt ton years. The tug of war for the location of tljo capital sent in the other states of the northwest has , however , not yet boon called to time. > THE local butohors of ono of Indiana's thriving cities have formed a combina tion to oppose the now -law requiring local inspection and the paying of foes for cattle slaughtered , That looks like taking the bull by the horns.

TUB Hugnr trust is turning on an other dcrow and the prlco of su ur is likely to go a peg higher. Since the flurry in sugar certificates in Wnll street the trust htw boon put on its uiuttlu to sustain present prices , and , if possible , to restore confidence in its speculation by forcing them still ( urtiiur up the scale. The prospect is not at all twcot for the consumer , ACCOIIDINQ to Fred Nye , the Item hua boon resurrected from the grjiyo , In which it had boon buried by himself and his successors in tha nou-H- paper undertaking business.

Chardo , receiver of trjo United States land office at O'Neill , isks the priytlcgo pf denying personally to the editor of Tltii DHI ; that there is .ho Blightost foundation for any charges ipnlnst him as nn ofllcinl. A member jf our congressional doloprntion , pre sumably Mr. Dorsoy , has nssurod Mr. Uhnrdothntntrt recent conference of the Nebraska delegation , nt Washington , such olmrgOB as are on file against him ivero thoroughly examined and found to contain no serious allegations so far as ills administration of the duties is con- : ornod. Mr. Ohardo assures the editor ) f THIS nr.K that ho has faithfully and impartially done his duty aq receiver , xnd that the only fault that ho is aware > f is that ho has sided with Bottlers as igalnst claim-jumpers and land-ofllco ittorncys. Ho says : "No settler has over boon wronged , or find his business n office ted by any inat tention of mine. What moro can nn of ficial do ? If any citizen or settler can ihow that I , by word or deed , have done iiim an injustice I will resign my of- llco. Unless this can bo done , or there : an bo shown to bo some cause other Lhan the fact that I am a democrat , I do lot think TljE Bleu , great and peerless in western journalism , but fair and lionorablo always , should give its sanc- iion to unwarrantable attacks upon no. " For the benefit of Mr. Chnrdo and all ivhom it may concern , Tim BIE will ituto that it does not countenance or ; ivo ltd sanction to attacks on any of- Icial , democratic or re publican , unless it bollevos thorn to bo well founded. Aa i newspaper , Tins UKB prints the re ports current at the national capital. The sources of these reports are va rious ; some emanate from the depart ments and others from current gossip. They must necessarily bo taken for what they are worth. On the question 3f tenure of office TUB UKstands . where It always Has stood , It was most de- sidedly opposed to the removal of re publicans during their unoxpirod terms by the late democratic auminis- tion on the flimsy pretext of offensive partisanship. It IB equally opposed to the removal of democrats during their unoxpircd terms , unless their official conduct , is known to bo dishojicHt , or Lhoy haVe proven themselves to bo incompetent. In other words , THE BKK boliovoa it to bo demoralising to the public service to remove an of- licor appointed for a fixed-term , before Ills term has expired unless charges of inconnpetqncy or malfeasance cun bo sustained against him. Mr. Chnrdo has never boon known to accord politically Dr personally with TUB BHU. Ho has been allied with the railroad faction of the democratic party , which has never had anything in common with Tin ? BEE , But h.is political and factional attachments should not deprive him of the same treatment to which every ol- ficial is entitled during his term. In dealing with the problem of the civil service tha "olTonsivo partis an" dodge should bo eliminated. AN INACCURATE HISTORrAN. The only criticism wo have observed upon the historical sketch of Iowa written - ton by Justice Miller , and published in Jfarpev's Monthly , related to the omis sion to discuss tlio policy Unit had boon pursued regarding prohibition and f-he transportation question. Bui. it appears that the people ot Iowa have found other and moro important reasonu for criticism , which show that the judge was not so well-informed and careful as to his facts as n historian who attaches any value to his work should be. The article contains a number of inaccurate statements , as shown by THE BISK'S cor respondent at Dos Moiiios , which are the moro remarkable and inexcusa ble from having boon made by a man distinguished for thorough ness and accuracy , and who could have avoided them without taking any othnr trouble than addressing a letter of in quiry to the governor or any state official. The judge states in his article that Iowa hasn't over tliroo hundred thous and dollars of bonded indebtedness , whereas it lias none at all , the hist dollar lar of such Indebtedness , aa stated by our correspondent , Having been paid oil some six years ago , The knowledge is general'Unit Iowa's principal cereal ia corn , of which she last year raispd over three hundred million bushels , taking the load aa u corn-producing state , Yet Justice Miller ropreson Is that wheat is the principal cereal , the production of which last year was only about nineteen million bushels. It ap pears that the judge did not consult any source of' Information moro reconl than the last national census for those facts. Ho falls , also , to glvo Iowa croult for oxtctnslvo manufacturing industries , of which , according to the state census of 18H5 , tlioro wore then nearly throe thousand , the value of the annual pro ducts of whiqh was over seventy million dollars , an amount but little less than the value of last year's enormous corn orop. Other innocuraolcs are pointed out by our correspondent , and alto gether the showing la auoh as to very materially impair the value of Justice Miller's contribution to the history ol Iowa. Doubtless no ono will more keenly regret this than the distinguished au thor of the Hkotoh , who is unquestion ably ns proud of his state as its people are of him , and who for every reason would desire to glvo Iowa full credit for everything belonging to her and tc state only the facts as they are of pres ent record. The only oxulanatlon is that Justice Miller rolled too much upon his memory and upon statistics which the progress of the state hu largely outgrown. . A OANDW LEADEft. Ex-Congressman Hull , of Burlington. . Is one of the loaders of the democratic party in Iowa. Ho has boon exton- tonslvoly talked about by tha demo cratic newspapers of the state ns ono ol tha most available men the democracy could nominate for governor , A groal many complimentary things have boor said of him , and an earnest olTort made to impress him with bin duty to hit party in the event that a majority ol its representatives in convention should dealro hlui uo a candidate. But all ar- gumont has failed to convince Mr. Hall , nnd ho unqualifiedly refuses to allow himself to bo roparded as n candidate. Ho is quoted as saying that ho couldn't possibly think of accepting Iho democratic nomination for governor of Town , fqr the reason that It would bo n hopeless and oxponslro undertaking. "I have no business running against n dead sure thing , " was the very candid way in which this Iowa democratic lender expressed himself. Mr. Hall will very llcoly } lese some popularity with his party by reason of Ills blunt f ran knos ? , and \t ho has any po litical aspirations ho has probably dam aged them , but it is presumed that h o know what ho wns talking about whqn ho declared In effect that the republi cans of Iowa will have a sure thing this fall. fall.Mr. Mr. Hall is a politician ot experience , who doubtless knows the situation in his state as well as the next man , and what ho said to the Chicago interviewer must bo accepted as nn entirely honest avowal of his convictions , The only apparent ronson why the republican majority in Iowa this fall mny not bo as largo ns hut year Is in the possibility that the vote will not bo so great. A presidential election ordi narily gets out a fuller vote than is polled at state elections. Tlioro nro in every state a considerable number of voters who are indilToront about exor cising their right of suffrage except at elections nf a president , and this class is generally moro numerous among repub licans than among democrats , . The democracy of Iowa Is contemplating several expedient * , by some one of which it hopes to increase its strength , but there really does not appear to bo much promise in any of the plans that have boon suggested. The strength of the republican party in the state is its position on the transportation ques tion , nnd if it had no othpr claim than this there is not the slightest doubt that the people would continue it in power. But the re publican party of Iowa has the even moro important nnd va uablo claim of having given the state in all practical respects an excellent government , ono result of ivhich is that Iowa hasn't a dollar of bonded indebtedness. The party appears to bo harmonious and united , and if it remains so it is not questionable that the candid admission of Mr. Hall that it baa a sure thing will bo justified in the result of the Novem ber election.

Did THE BEE oxaot any blood money from Congressman Council or make upy demands on Dorsoy in tlm lust cam paign , or in any other campaignV How is it with this boasted bulwark of the republican party which imagines itself to be so essential to republican supremacy in Vobrnskn ? It is an open secret that the concern has boon tlio nest of looolios , impostors and blnak- mallcrs for years. They have not only bulldo/.ed public men and officials Into buying1 worthies1 ? newspaper block , but have exploited and swindled tholr own partners. After freezing out Mandor- son , Thurdton , Paddock , Broatoh , Clarke , Strang and others who came to their rescue , they turned In and froze out the widow of the Into S , P. Rounds and forced the whole concern - corn to the wall. To bo sure , tills was the work of the old gang , but are the present boomers not trying to pjny the same desperate gamoof bluff and blood ? Is not their whole racket and baboon boom the boldest imposture that has ever been attempted in this state by anybody connected with the press , Only a few weeks ago John Bush , city treasurer of Omaha , wns threatened with their dlro displeasure in case ho did not deposit - posit ut least fifty thousand dollars of city funds.

But wo will at all times resent and denounce as an infamous falsehood any imputation against the integrity 01 THE BEK or its editor , and punish the slanderers to the best of our ability. A LTVKUEU demand for American wheat mav looked for within a few weeks. Most of the countries of west ern Europe are moro or less depend ent ' upon foreign markets for their supply. Their own crops are never equal to the consumption. Malting full allowances for the exaggerated reports of speculators , the United States Bland in a fair way to fully moot the call ol the European demand. There Is little to tear from the competition of either eastern Europe , India or Australia. In the great wheat bolt of Russia , the principal source of supply , lon con tinued droif&ht followed by violent storms lias Vj&uglit havoo with the crops.

LINCOLN Buncxn OFTnROHA.iri.BEri ) 1029 P STIIKBT , I LINCOLN. July SI. | Local politics nro assuming definite shnpo , It Is learned that the First National bank li backing with all Its might tno candidacy ol Mnxoy Cobb for county treasurer , In the Third ward , where Majcoy's father , Judge Cobb , lives , and where young Cobb la ox pooled to show consldorablo strength , n very comullcatod state of affairs exists. Shabcrg county commissioner , and Stewart , county ] tul go , are both candidates for ro-oloctlqn. Frank Gr.xhain , the livuryinnn , hns been mndo a candidate for county commlssionoi ngalnst Shabcrg in order to help Cobb , not with nny expectation of nominating Gra ham , Tom Curr , also n resident of this ward , Is it candidate for sheriff. From pros cut indications n combination has. beer formed which brings two tickets into tin Held at the primaries , ono In support of Cobl for treasurer , Graham for commissioner atu Carr for sheriff ; the ether , Sha berg for commissioner , GrlfHth foi treasurer and Sam MeClay for sheriff , In the First wan ! Hobb , Carr and Graham will attempt to carry the rtny. A few small- fry railroad employes , who assume to voice the company's wishes , nro * very Inlarioui over the prospects of "Mnxoy , boy. " This combination will be opposed in the First ward by n ticket composed of n few fi lends ol each of tbo ether candidates. Tlio First ward hns no can il hi ato. of Its own , nnd is therefore considered frco ground for nil. In the Fifth ward , where nearly nil the bankers live , and hnlf the candidates for sheriff re side , n chaotic condition of things exists. Some of the bankers uro cngngod in watch ing tha growing chances of this or that can didate for sheriff , hoping to attach them selves to the tall of his coat and thus bo dragged into the convention , whore they can have a voice In naming the next county treasurer. The chances nro that the delegation from the Fifth ward will bo very badly Jspllt up ; that uo candidate will have oven n majority of the delegation for cither sheriff or treas urer. Tlio Fourth ward , the homo of W. C. G ninth , will probably bo for Grilllth to start with , with a strong leaning toward S. W. Burnham for second choice. It will bo re- mcmborcd that Griffith has been n candidate for county treasurer four times before the county convention , and has boon defeated as many times. In the country the strong can didates uio believed to boBurnhaui aud Wcstcott , of Malcolm , oueli claiming about forty delegates from the county precincts. If this is true they will give Cobb a lively chase for treasurer. For sheriff , there uro two can- dluates from the country nnd 11 vo from the city , and tha natural conclusion is that If n country candidate fortroasurcr ( either Cobb , Burnham or Wcstcott ) is nominated that the nominee for sheriff will bo from the city. On the contrary , if Grlfllth , who Is the only city candidate for treasurer , should bo nominated , the se lection of a sheriff would fall to John Trom- pin , of Hlcknmn , or Alva Smith , of Wavorly , who are the only county candidates for sheriff. The liglit for county clerk seems to bo between Ed Churchill and Mart Howo. Thera uooms to bo uo well developed oppo sition to tie ) renoininntion of Stewart for county Judge. In the matter of the county coroner the laboring mpn are going to ask that ono of their men bo put upon the ticket instead of Dr. Shoemaker , mid it will prob ably bo Dr. Hosman , who Is a carpenter by trudo und a physician by profession , nnd at the present tlmo In nctivo practice , yet keep ing up his association with his old craftsmen and is at this time president of the carpen ters' union. At tlio last county convention thu Burlington load paid but little atten tion to any of the candidates except tlioso for sheriff und coroner , and they dictated the nomination of both. The cause of their solicitude 1ms been apparent in all coroner's Jury verdicts since then. A stereotyped plato of the first jury might , with but ffiw changes , have been used for all. It is said that n certain ox-sheriff , who has always been "friendly" to the rend , has served twenty sir times out of twenty- six cases where the road was Interested , and the result has been that liability tins not at tached anywhere. And , In the language of another , "tho coroner's verdict has been a great leverage for tha road whenever damage - ago suits have been instituted and tried. ' An old politician , who bos run the field over , gives it as his opinion that the following ticket will bo nominated at the coming con vention : Churchill , county clerk ; S. W. Bum- bam , treasurer ; W , E. Stovvart , county judge ; Tom Carr , sheriff ; Dr. Shoonmljor. coroner ; .f. P. Walton , county surveyor , and Gooiya McCluslcy , superintendent of county schools.

Wo are porauiulod , fro m our observa tion of many years in Greece mid Tur key , says Charles T. Tuokormaii , in North American Rovlow. that the mod erate use of pure colToo is , ono might almost say , a blessing to rich ami poor. Excess in its use , or the use of it at all , except when Iho decoction ia made from the genuine colfeo berry , and properly mndo , is beyond nny question an evil. One must live in the onst for a whllo or if not there , LOU line himself to par taking of the bcrngo in other countries where the character of the cafe , or the house where it is served , is a guar antee of the purity to appreciate what a cup of collco really mentis. It is a recognized fact that the mix ture drunlc by the majority of pcoplo in Europe and our own country , under the name of cuffoo , is a vile or , at the best , nn adulterated compound of inferior berries , beans or other substitutes , and that when occasionally tbo genuine coffee berry Is the basls'of the hot fluid served at hotels , railroad stations , res taurants , and in private houses , it is not prepared properlyand moro frequently than otherwise injures the digestion and consequently the health of the con stant drinker. In Athens , broadly speaking1 , every third man indulges in cigarette smok ing and colToo drinking , and this to an extent that astonishes the stranger. It is an every day eight , whou entering an olllco or private Bitting room , and not infrequently the family room , to sue the tobacco -box , cigarette paper and ash box lying on the tiiblo , nnd the vis itor is expected , without invitation , to help himself and light his cigarette as a preparation for aud a companion to conversation. Little cups of black coffee follow us a matter of course , however early or late the hour may bo. But the Greek does not confine his attentions to the colTeo cup on those occasions. He often takes his fa-dt cigarette anil his first CUD in bed before rising , and continues the practice at intervals through the entire uiy. ; It is something akin to the hah it of ice-water drinking in the United States , but without the subtle , injur ious results that follow tin habitual use of cold liquids , which chill the stomach , impair the general health and product ) decayed teeth. So far us our personal observation goes , strengthened by med ical testimony , the Creoles in the con dition of their general health do not support the theory tlmt the habitual use of coffee injures the system or af- tccla the eyesight. The same is the cose In Turkey. There colleo drinking is universal and continuous. The writer passed the greater part of four yours in Constanti nople , where ho had occasion to call upon the officials of the sublime porto so frequently that It would bo dilllcult to enumerates these olllcinl visits ; nnd with few exceptions , when thu visit was protracted to any length , black coll'oo , pure in quality and prepared with the grounds , was regularly served in small , delicate cups. All TnrkH , from the highest to the lowest , indulge in the , boveriigo , a few swallows at a time , throughout the day , and without any evil effects. IRRIGATING THE SAHARA.

Tlioso have all been perfectly successful. The trees ha vo grown magnificently and become a source of refreshment and rest , which piit aside the rlaUs and dan gers of dcsort travel.
