As A more matter of information it
would bo well to inquire what action
the board of flro and police commission
has taken in the reported irregularities
of the clerk of the police court.
STOUMS and washouts are respecters
of no city council , and do not wait upon
the pleasure of that body to repair dam
ages before causing additional losses.
For that reason the council should not

JUDGE DKADY , of Oregon , has draivn
k a fine distinction in refusing to grant
naturalization papers , which is likely
to call up considerable discussion nmoncr
constitutional lawyers. Ho has re
fused to confer citizenship on Tom
Ward , an English pugilist , because it Is
contrary to public policy to confer
American citizenship upon ono whobO
avowed occupation is the violation of
the law. How many judges would have
r taken the same ground upon a similar
. . application ?
TUB secretary of the interior has
taken the precaution towarn anxious
settlers that claim jumping will not bo
countenanced on the Sioux reservation ,
and that settlement will bo denied until
the government will bo ready to open it
for entry. This will probably consume
many months. The now territory will
not bo thrown open to settlers before
next spring , or oven later. The great
est difllculty that the government will
experience in the sale of the land will
not come from actual settlers , but from
land speculators who will bo the llrst on
hand to buy up immense tracts. If it be
the policy of the interior department to
dispose of the land to bonn-lldo settlers
only , euro will have to bo taken to pre
vent the fraud and subterfuge.
Tnis apprehensions that have boon
. , expressed from time to time rcgardinc
the immediate future of the money mar
ket are not shared by the loading bank
oOiclulif of New York. A number of
c these recently interviewed by the Hun
were uniformly of the opinion that a
monetary stringency is improbable , and
that the prospect is favorable to nn
t ample supply ot curronoy for moving
the crops and providing for the demands
of the fall trade. This verifies the
statement recently made by the secre
tary of the treasury that his informa
tion from the best ununclal sources did
not indicate that there was any cause
tor apprehending a scarcity of money ,
and that consequently he did not fool
called upon to consider the question ot
a change in the treasury policj such
as might bo necessary to avert a mone
tary crisis.
THE selection of the capital of the
now state of Washington will in all
probability bo narrowed down to 0110,0 i
the three largest cities. The people
will bo called upon to vote for the site
at the election soon to bo called and it
is provided that the city which secures
a majority of all the votes cast shall
bo the capital. It is doubtful , however ,
.if any ono city will bo able to secure
the necessary vote Inn free-for-all race ,
where every little town is a candidate
for the honor and whore local pride
will tempt electors to , give their owe
burg the preference. The election
however , will ho the moans of deter
mining the throe cities which will have
polled the largest vote , and they alone
will bo considered in the subsequent
content. It is almost conceded that the
fight will bo narrowed down to Tacoma ,
Seattle nnd Olyinplu , the present capi
tal , and it la more than probable thai
Olympia will bo the choice , duo to the
intense rivalry existing between Ta-
com * and Seattle.
DIVERSION OF
Treasury statistics show that emigra
tion to the United States is decreasing.
Ono explanation ot this is doubtless the
fact that the inducements to foreign
labs ? -to como to this country have not
been Tory stroiij ? foiuv. year jmst , nnd
particularly during the prcsidlit JST
The largo amount of idle labor on the
American mrrhot , mid the consequent
decline of wages m most industries , are
facts which do not oscapa the
knowledge of the more Intollleont
class of iorolgnora who maybe
bo contemplating emigration. How
well informed Europeans manage -
ago to keep regarding the industrial
conditions in this country can easily bo
learned by a reference to the circum
stances under which the United Htatos
have received the greatest immigra
tion. It was in the years of our great
est industrial activity , when wages were
high , that the largoit additions were
made to the population from the inflow
of European labor , skilled nnd un
skilled.
But there is another fact in the situ
ation which is perhaps more Important
as explaining the decrease of emigra
tion to this country , and that is the di
version to South American countries by
reason ot the very favorable induce
ments offered by oovornl of those coun
tries. For a year or two past the Ar
gentine Republic ban followed a moat
liberal policy for attracting immigra
tion , and It has drawn from nearly all
the European countries. Othorr.ountrlca
of South Amorlca , while not pursuing a
quite similar course , uro acquainting
Europeans with thoic advantages and
boncfUtlng accordingly in the matter of
gaining population. There is no lessen
ing of ttio extent of European emi
gration , but the seekers after
now homofl ure moro generally turning
their attention to the southern conti
nent. How long this will last will of
course depend upon the period of con
tinuance of the favorable inducements
that now attract immigrants to that
continent , but there must bo room there
for a great many more of them. Mean
while there le probably no danger that
the United States will not got asulll-
ciont share of European labor , and it
may bo romiirkod that there arn some
who would bo well pleased if the diver
sion of emigration were greater than
it ia. These , for example , who share
the apprehensions of Bishop Coxo re
garding the" influence unou our
institutions of the infusion of European
ideas into our political and social life
would very heartily welcome the com
plete stoppage of immigration into this
country. From the practical point ot
view the diversion of European emigra
tion to South America is a matter by no
means unfavorable totha United States ,
slnco'if 'wo are to enlarge our commer
cial relations with the southern conti
nent , its development in population and
productive power is to bo desired.
OHIO PltOBIBITWNISTS.
The greatest danger to the republi
can cause in Ohio this year is likely to
bo in the attitude of the prohibitionists.
The leaders of this element iu that state
freely avow their determination to do
all in their power to defeat the republi
can ticket. In the last gubernatorial
election the prohibition vote was be
tween thirty and thirty-live thousand ,
the republican majority at that time
being eighteen thousand. Then na
tional issues , and particularly the tariff
question , entered into the cam
paign , and as these will
bo loss prominent this year
the prohibitionists are counting upon a
material increase of their vote. They
claim that there are in reality over
three hundred thousand voters in Ohio
who would favor prohibition if it came
up alone and separated from party mat
ters. The great majority of these are
republicans. Them there is tbo waver
ing oleraont , estimated at upwards of a
hundred thousand , and it is from these
that the prohibitionists hope to recruit
their ranks in the fall election. If
they can draw n few thousand
of this element , and the demo
crats hold their strength , they may
accomplish republican defeat. They
promise to bend all their energies to
the achievement of this result.
The Ohio prohibitionists are actuated
by the same motives and policy , in their
desire to defeat the republicans , as di
rect the prohibitionists of other states
in pursuing a like course. They have
no just ground of complaint. They know
perfectly well that all the logislatio n
which has boon enacted in Ohio during
the past quarter of a century for the
regulation of the liquor traffic , and in
the interest of temperance , has come
from the republican party. They know
equally well that if the democracy is re
stored to power in the state it will do
the bidding of the liquor element and
repeal the tax law , which , if not all that
it should be , has still done good
in restricting the tranlo and
creating a revenue. It is cer
tainly very much better than free
whisky , which would result from demo
cratic ascendancy. A tax is the only
way in which the traffic can bo dealt
with in Ohio , sluoo the constitution
does not allow a license system. But
having their full share of the
perversity general with thnlr party ,
the prohibitionists of Ohio array
themselves with unfailing regu
larity against the party which has don
all it could'undor the circumstances to
restrict and regulate the liquor trafllc ,
and play into the hands of the political
organization which has steadily sh own
itHolf hostile to such legislation.
It is possible that the plan of the pro
hibitionists may ho successful in Ohio
this year , but it is hardly probable in
view of the very strong considerations
favoring republican success , not the
least Important of which is the neces
sity of rebuking legislative corruptloa
in the election of a United States sena
tor.
CONDITIONS PKKOEDENT.
Mr. Hitchcock is the most arrant
demagogue that over had control of an
Omaha newspaper. A few weeks ago
he was posing aa a disinterested cham
pion and patriot on the location of the
postolllco , Ho denounced the editor oi
TmcBitu it ) unmeasured terms for op
posing the Folsom-Clovoland deal , while
ho was himself struggling with might
and main to unload upon Undo Sara n
quarter ot the Planters * house block.
Just now ho is trying to pose AS "tho
anti-monopolist" of Omaha. Wo nro
content to lot him po o. His glra-
tlons only recall forcibly the fable
about the long-oared animal that
donned the lion skin. Wo do , howeVer ,
ohjoctTo ills Insinuation that TUB BEIC
has flopped nnd ROno bvor tO tbo rail
road camp.
There has boon no flop. The atti
tude of Tint BBR , as regards the union
depot proposition , can in no way bo interpreted -
torprotod as n disposition to favor the
Union Pacific at the expense ot taxpaying -
paying citizens. Wo have simply de
clared that a hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars bonus _ Is n , more
bagatelle as an Inducement for
securing the abolition of the trans
fer nuisance and to bring about the joint
occupancy of the proposed union depot
by all the roads that connect with the
Union Pacific. Mr. Hitchcock pur
posely omits to quota the conditions
precedent , upon which TJIE BEE ex
pressed a willingness to support the ono
hundred nnd fifty thousand dollar bond
proposition. Unless thcso conditions
are made part of the compact between
the city and the Union Pacific , wo shall
most decidedly oppose the proposition.
Wo shall never approve or advocate
any proposition that loaves room for
doubt as to the main object
in view , namely , ample accommodation
for all trains of the railways that
terminate at the Missouri river , and a
guaranty that they will bo allowed to
cross the bridge and occupy the depot
jointly on reasonable terms , satisfactory
to all concerned.
As unalterable as the laws of the
Modes and Persians are the laws ot
Great Britain affecting criminal cases
when once the sentence of death hna
boon pronounced. No appeal to a
higher court is known. No exceptions
to the ruling of the judge or to the ver
dict of the jury as being contrary to the
weight of evidence can bo taken. The
sentunco of capital punishment closes
to the condemned absolutely the door
of the open court. This will explain
to many people of Amorlca unfamiliar
with English custom why it is that in
the case of Florence EllzabothMaybrick ,
sentenced to bo hung-for poisoning her
husband , appeals must bo jnado to the
*
cabinet instead of the court for a re
prieve and n rehearing of the case.
Popular opinion , as ovidoncodvby the
monster petitions prepared by the mem
bers of the bar and by the loading mer
chants of London and Liverpool , has
strongly turned in "behalf of the un
fortunate woman. The petitions will
bo laid before the secretary , of state for
the home department , who , after ex
amining the burden of proofs , may
grant a reprieve. _ _ _ Then , ( after a
careful and prlvat& rehearing of
the evidence , ho may recommend to
her majesty to commute the death sen
tence to one of imprisonment for life ,
or to show such clemency as the nature
of the cose demands. The trial has excited -
cited great public interest in both
America and England and the outcome
of this celebrated case will be closely
followed. * *
THE Inter-state Commerce Railway
association has filed a complaint against
the Chicago & Alton with the inter
state commerce commission , and an
other complaint has boon1 filed against
the same road by the Chicago , Rock
Island & Pacitic. This action , so far at
least as the railway association , is con
cerned , was not unexpected. , The na
ture of these complaints ia not yet made
public , but it is to bo presumed , they in
volve charges of violations of the inter
state commerce law since the Alton
withdrew from the association. The
management of the Alton has appeared
to invite investigation , and it will now
have an opportunity to show whether it
has been comforming to tho. law.

armed only with a gun , nnd not with
civil service examination papers.
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The trial of General Boulanger Dcfore the
high court of the French souato has boon
begun , but It scorns likely to encounter some
difficulties. It-is understood to be tbe inten
tion to ask the extradition of the general ,
and the question as to what the English gov
ernment will do in the matter Is an Interest
ing one. Whether England yields to the de-
mund or rejects it , the radicals will find
themselves in aa awUward predicament. The
nasent of the English government to the ex
tradition of Uoulanger can only ba obtained
by a guarantee that the general , shall not bo
tried on a political charge or before a special
tribunal like the senatorial high court of jus
tice. The most explicit and conolusivonssur-
anoci on this point would bo required from
President Carnet before an English minis
try would venture to dcpriyo an ostensibly
political refugee ot the right of asylum. Tbo
prosecution for treason before the senate
would consequently have to ba abando nod ,
and Boulangor would have to bo formal ly
Indicted and tried in an ordinary assize
court. That Is the sort of tribunal to which
Houlangor has often offered to submit , and
to which his enemies have -shown them
selves unwilling to appeal. It Is exceed
ingly doubtful whether a Jury could bo
found in Paris to convict the general of
bribe taking or embezzlement upon the
evidence brought forward by tbo pro-
cureur-gcnoral In the statement laid before
the senate. Should the result of such a trial
be a failure to convict , Koulangor's position
iu Paris and throughout Franco would bo
Incomparably stronger than , ii Is now.
Should ho oven by chance bo convicted ,
there would bo n deep-rooted nnd widespread
belief that the jury had boon packed , and
the judicial machinery of the country em
ployed to execute the malignant purposes of
a political cabal. A conviction under such
circumstances might be bad for Boulanger
himself ; but it would give a tremendous 1m-
pulse to Uouluntjlstn , which collective numo
would ncquiro a new attraction for all _ the
elements of discontent and opposition. It'was
just such a belief that Justice had boon
warped and prostituted In the aolush inter
ests of tbo men in power tint , more than any
other cause , contributed to the overthrow of

The dispatch of a battalion from the Mas-
sownh garrison to occupy Asmara ia the first
Men In the renewal of Italy's attempt to an
nex the northern portion of Abyssinia. It Is
possible that what she was unable to conquer
from King John she will find practically
given to her by King Monolak. Still , It can
not ba wholly certain that the latter will
stand by any promises ho may have made to
this effect. White he ruled only over Shoa ,
the southernmost province of Abyssinia , It
mattered little to him what was going on in
Tigro , the northernmost ; and slnco ho was
in chronic rebellion against the Negus ho
looked upon Italy really as his ally. But
whether now as king ha will suffer , or his
people will allow him to suffer foreign inva
sion , can not bo known. Asmara is on the
high plateau , about forty-eight miles bade
from the coast , and was the camping place
of the principal army of King John. A pre
liminary station on _ the march to it is Saatl ,
nt the foot of the highlands. Keren is on
the road to the Bosos country at the north ,
which Italy covets , and presumably , If the
present project is carried out by arrange
ment with King Monolok , the Italians will
turn to Keren from Asmara. Without such
an understanding they could not reach
Asmara except after a battle , as it is too im
portant a position to give up , and it would
take an army corps instead of a battalion to
forcibly occupyjt *
The trouble in Crete , which has a constitu
tion and government ot its own , is due to
the desire of alblnorlty In the Cretan legis
lature to control affairs and grab the spoils
of ofllco. The Jnto.clcctlon in the island gave
the liberals a largt majority , and the gov
ernor acceded totholr demands that' they
should have a sj are of tho.ofllces. To this
the conservatives objected , and petitioned
the sultan to remove the governor. Upon
the potto's refusal they Introduced n motion
into the legislature to unite with Greece , and
this also having boonjrojocted , open -violence
was resorted to. Itf Is noteworthy that ia
this quarrel neither rncohor religious differ
ences have ontefed' into tbo question , and
that Greeks nnd Turlre , Christians and Mo
hammedans may bo found in each of the
warring factions. While Greece is doubtless
anxious to annex the island , she is deterred
from talcing steps looking to that end by the
hostile attitude of Italy , which fears that in
such an event a transfer of the island would
soon bo made either to Russia or Franco.
Italy herself would lilto to secure Crete as
a naval station and fortress , and so she has
boon urging the porto to settle the difllculty
peaceably , evidently believing that each
day's delay is making the situation more se
rious , and that when a conference shall como
she may got a hold upon the island. As
things now stand , however , all the great
powers will fool constrained to take a hand
in the dispute. The irresolution of the Turk
ish government has already borne fru.l.
Even if a war shall be averted , there will
probably bo a European congress to discuss
the difficulty and , as everybody knows , a
congress is often as much to bo dreaded as a
war.
Canada has a debt of nearly three hundred
million dollars. This enormous debt for a
population of loss than 5,000,000 has been in
curred , In chief part , for the improvement
and extension of the facilities of transporta
tion in the Dominion , with special reference
to the encouragement of immigration. Yet
between 18C1 and 1831 the population in
creased by only'about one-quarter , and since
1831 the tjaln cannot bo more than one-tenth ,
if it is as much as that. The purpose for
which the debt was contracted has therefore
not boon accomplished. It is true that the
railways have been built and the canals im
proved , but the number of settlers who have
como in consequence is small. During the
twenty years between 1B01 and 1S31 the
foreign population of Canada actually de
creased by nearly 100,000 , or hard on one-
sixth , though meantime over 500,000 Immi
grants had been Imported. Allowing for the
death rate , it yet appears that at least tLroo-
fourths of the immigrants , drawn to Canada
at vast expense to ttio government , passed
over to us , making Canada a mere place of
transit The same is true ot the immigrants
since 1831. Nor are they alone in crossing
the border. Natives of Canada are also emi
grating hither , so that at least ono million of
our population have como thcnoe. Wo are
gaining from Canada more than Canada is
gaining for itself. Canada , therefore , is
more like nn old and exhausted country than
a now and yet undeveloped ono. The
provinces of longer settlement , Ontario for
instance , are steading still , not keeping their
natural lncrcaw.ni.Evon Manitoba , to which
immigration httB > been specially directed , is
not incroasing'jlii our neighboring regions
are , though iV Jl&3 much to invite settlers.
Sir Richard Car right pointed out also In a
speech in the plamcnt / last jear that the
total volume oj tirade had decreased in the
fifteen years , ljOjween 1873 nnd 1833 from
$317,500,000 to eJW.OOO.OOO or $15,000,000. Yet
in twenty yeqr * ) , ho debt has increased by
moro than 150 flrjcent.

All talk about war between the United
States and Great Britain because of the cap
ture of the Black Diamond by the revenue
cutter Rush is nonsense. The people of
n el thor country are such fools as to go to
war over a matter of that sort. The ques
tion at issue "will bo settled amicably and
with probably little delay.

TOUGHS KlIjL , A POLICEMAN.
A Chicago Officer Murdered While
Discharging His Duty.
Cnicioo , August 0. ( Special Telegram to
THE BBB.J Police Officer Adam W. Fryer ,
of the Dcsplains street station , was cruelly
murdered while discharging his duty near
ttfeTsdutbcast corner of Clinton nnd Harrison
risen streets at 3:45 : o'clock tins morning.
The men who'murclored Officer Fryer were
two notorious toughs , both of whom
have been carrying revolvers and
using them on the slightest
pretext. Their names nre Jack
McGrath ana William Marccll , neither of
whom have yet attained their majority.
They murdered Fryer In order to escape ar
rest , being at the time pursued by O Ulcers
Moore and'Holly , upon whom they had dawn
a revolver. Tbo murder was the result of
their own lawless action , as last Monday
night the pair shot at two oQlcers of the
West Twelfth street station for no reason
otfier tttan a desire to do murder.
Several months ugo McGrath gave it
out boldly that the next policeman who
attempted to arrest him would got killed ,
npd tbe work of last nlgnt proves that he
meant what ho sola. At about 2:30 : o'clock
this morning Officers Moore and Holiy met
the two thugs near the corner of Dcsplaines
nnd Harrison streets. The young follows
knew that they were wanted for the shoot
ing' Monday night , and drawing revolvers ,
both started to run. The officers gave chase ,
firing two shots after them. The fugitives
ran east to the alloy between I/uw nvenua
nnd Jefferson street ana turned
north. Doubling back , they again reuchea
Harrison rftreet nt tbe northwest corner of
Clinton. From this corner they saw Officer
Fryer approaching nnd they run across the
street to the south side of Harrison nnd
started toward ttio river.
Officer Fryer , having heard tha shots fired
was on the alert , and seeing tbo two men
running ho crossed the street ami intercepted
them. The two young men drew revolvers
as the officer approached , and before the
policeman could defend himself they
both fired. One of the bullets
wont through Fryer's neck nnd the other
entered the pit of bis stomach. He fell to
the ride walk , his revolver , which he had nt-
tempted to draw , falling on tbo pavement
near by. After the shooting the men ran
south on Clinton to Twelfth , where they hid
beneath a sidewalk. As soon after the mur
der as possible patrol wagons from the Des-
plaines and Twelfth street stations , and also
from tbe Armory , were sent in pursuit.
McGrath and Mortell heard the wagons
coming and they broke from their hiding
place , running east on Twelfth street. They
were seen , and then it was a nlu-and-tuok
race between the fugitives and the officers.
Two patrol xvnirontt loaded witli men , each
officer grasping bis big revolver ready to
shoot the minute tbo vcnicles got in
range , nod two men running
like deer before the wagons
this was the exciting scene. A detail of offi
cers from the Armory were sent In a wagon
down Clark street to head oft the fugitive * .
Just na the throe wa&ons were About to
close upon tbo men there was n break. Doth
follows disappeared as if swallowed up.
They had lumped into the midst of a numbur
of railroad cars and had vanished. Orders
to scour the territory included between Tyler -
lor , Twelfth , Clark and State streets were
given , and soon fifty men were boat ing every
corner. Under houses and sidewalks , in
hallways and cars , the officers searched , but
the men were safely bidden.
LIVE STOCK SHIMIUNTH.
The Patent Cars Will bend to a flo-
( luatlon In Rules.
CHICAGO , August 0. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEK.I The meeting of the Western
'Freight association next Tuesday promises
to bo of more than usual Interest , if one may
Judge by Uio number and character of the
notices that Imva already been filed with
Chalrmua Midgloy by different members.
It if said tbo Chicago , Milwaukee & tit.
Paul has notified Mldgley that it proposes
to make a reduction of 0 > f cents per 100
pounds in tbo rate on cattle , when shipped
in the company's own cnrs that is , it will
odor shippers an Inducement to use the com'
inou stock cars owned by tha road instead of
the palace cars controlled by private con
cerns , by making a different of 8 cents In
the rato. At present the rate is the same on
all rottds , whether private or common cars
itro used , and as shippers insist upon using
patent cars the railroad compiuilcs
uro all forced to pay tulleage for
the use of rolling stock belonging to other
people while their own cars nro lying Idle on
side tracks. A short time npo the Alton
found a way to ntllU Its Idle can. U en
tered Into a deal with the American Live
Stock Commission company , a wealthy Texas
syndicate , by which the latter leased all the
Alton's stock cars , numbering over flvo hun
dred. By this move the llvo stock company
escape * paying a big price for the use ot cars
owned by private coneornRnnd , the Alton derives -
rives a revenue from property that was pre
viously yielding nothing. The deal , of
eourso , nrouscd the Indignation ot the com-
mtaiion companies controlling the patent
car * , an < l caused some fooling ntnong rail
road * that are in competition with the Alton.
It is understood that the proposition of the
St. Paul to make a lcs < rate on cattle , when
shipped In Itn own ears , Is one of the consequences
quences of the nbovo mentioned deal , and Is
intended to offset , in n tnoasuro , the advant
age gained by the Alton.

poll says his company owns 400 cars which It
tins leased to n cattle commission company
for Use on ono of the Alton's lines west of
the Missouri rlvor. This , ho declared , Is n
parallel case to the ono which wni brought
before the commission against the Chicago ,
Rock Island & 1'aclilo road , nnd whluli was
decided favorably to the company. Cliappoll
Intimated that the Alton Is ready for the
flght about to bo waged against it , nnd advises -

WASHINGTON , August 0. | Special Tclo-
gram to THE BBB. ] A report Is In circula
tion to-day to the effect that the secretary of
the Interior has olforod Judge Groff , of
Omaha , a position nearly ns good ns that of
intar-stnta commissioner. It Is said that the
secretary of the Interior has boon nnxious for
some time to find the proper man for com
missioner of the general land office , as ho
does not want to give that position to ox-
Governor Stone , the present dcoutv. Judge
Graft Is said to have all the qualifications
necessary to make a flrst-clnsi commissioner
of the land ofllco , nnd has besides a wide
knowledge of tha exact situation of affairs
in the west. It is said that ho wont homo
with an nbsoluto urollor of the position , nnd
that his entry Into official life in Washington
rents wholly with himself.
Whether or not ho will see fit to defT the
crmlno for a less important office than that
which ho had a right to cxuout would bo
tendered him will probably depend upon the
advice of his friends and the two Nebraska
senators , whom ho will consult upon his re
turn to Omaha.
