THE now capitol at Topeka , Kan. ,

THE now registration law provides that

DUUINO the extenuated preliminaries

itself , "la the American jury system a

around into the moro clearly discernible
foreground , and that is that the Chicago
system of securing an American jury
comes pretty near not being a success.
BlKMAHCJC will soon bo compelled to
recall his embargo on the "American

A raft of names are mentioned in con
nection with the vacancy , and not a few
alleged lawyers are ready to saori'Jcc '
thbuiRolvos for the good of their crod-
ito'ra , but their appointment would only
increase the vacancy nnd seriously em
barrass , the dispatch of business in an
already crowded court.
Tin : Gorman government has pur

Bays nomothiug about the mnoko of the
battle clearing away may BOIUO day bo-
corno obsolete.
THE CAMPAIGN IN MONTANA.
Our latest advices from Montana rop-
rcsont the prospects ot republican nuc-
cossin the pending campaign aa very
doubtful. The rerjubUcan campaign
managers have , wo nro cordially in
formed , shown an unusual capacity fet
blundering. The most stupid of those
blunders was the enactment of the cum
bersome Australian election law. Ttio
passngo of the law was in the nature ol
a rebuke to the very men who contrib
uted largely to republican success last
fall , Instead of encouraging the fac
tional fights among democrats , the
tondor/oot managers of the par
ty plunged recklessly into ab
surd and needless schemes which
only resulted in bringing thoii
opponents togqthor in n common cause.
The consequence , as is shown in a lottot
published in another column , is thai
the democrats are united ns they have
novbi' boon before , and scores of repub
licans as well as democrats are prac
tically deprived of the right to partici
pate in the election of state ofllcors.
The application of the Australian
system to a sparsely settled country like
Montana is the essence of absurdity.
IIiul the law been limited to cities anil
towns the results mighthavo been beno-
flcial , but to carry it to country districts
nnd hcdgo it with a system of registra
tion which closes two weeks before
the olcntion , is an imposition
on the people which deserves to bo re
buked , it imposes a needless tax on
the people without any compensating
benefits. It compels voters distant
from towns to journey from one to four
days to the olllccs of registrars to exercise -
ciso the rights guaranteed by the con
stitution of the country , and then re
pent the journey to the polling place ,
And that , too , during the harvest and
round-up season.
The nccdlessnnd onerous innovations
introduced by the republicans were not
justified by existing conditions. The
party achieved success last fall on the
merits of its candidates and principles ,
and had party leaders possessed the
sagacity to lot well enough alouo , their
chances of success in thu present cam
paign would have boon materially in
creased , If they sutler defeat in the
coining election they will have them
selves to blame.
JUDGE OnOFF'S SUCCESSOR.
It is now n foregone conclusion thai
Judge GrofF will resign his position OH
the district bench. It will bo very dif
ficult to find ns good a man as Judge
GrolT to iill the vacancy. While there
are many eminent lawyers in Ouiahti
and in the district , those who rank
high in the profession will not give ur
a lucrative practice for a place thai
only pays twenty-livo hundred dollars a
year. ,
'rho ' emphatic expression in favor of r
non-partisan judiciary which was giver
by the voters of this district two yean
ago wh'jn the present judges
were elected should not go unheeded in
the selection of Judge Groil's successor ,
The endorsement of the district bni
should precede an endorsement by partj
conventions. It docs not stand to reason
son that the bar of Omaha , composojjyu
it is of able men of both parties , woult
endorse an incompetent or disreputable
lawyer for a position on the district
bench. But while partisanship should
be as much as possible ignored in the
choice of Judge Groff's successor , il
must bo conceded that all things being
equal , the vacancy should be lillod bj
a ropublica'n lawyer. There are alreadj
two democrats on the district bench :
three out of four would bo a partisar
judiciary. This would hardly bo desirable
able , oven by rank democrats , unless
thoywant to make the judgcships in this
district a reward for spoilsmen.
It is idle to speculate upon what the
course of Governor Thayer will bo witl :
regard to this impending vacancy. I
is not likely that ho will make nnj
selection , in view ol the fact that we
are so near to our general election. It
any event wo nro safe in assuming tha
ho will prefer to await the action of tlu
bar and the republican district con von
tlon.
THE RACE WATl IN TUJ } SOUTH.
The Atlanta Constitution thus refers
to the race question in the south : "I
cannot bo denied , that there i :
at present n moro uneasy foolinj.
in the south between the whitoi
and blacks than has boon known ii
twenty years. " It refers to two sign ill
cant facts in evidence of this , one being ,
the recent proposal of a colored mili
tary company at Chattanooga to go tc
the scctio of a reported riot it
Mississippi and take sides with the
colored men , the other fact that the
farmers of Mississippi are organ
izing companies in every rural neigh
borhood , ar.ining themselves , elect 1 it t
ofllcors and pledgingthomsolvoa to oboj
the orders of their ollleorw. "Does i1
need wisdom , " asks the Constitution , "t <
see that this movement will spread'f"
There have boon many other inoi
dents of recent occurrence quito ns slg
niflcant ns the two noted bytho Atmnti
journal In evidence of the critical situ
ation of the race issue in the south , am
in nearly every instance the lawless
ness of the whites has booi
responsible for them. Not Ion {
since a number of nogrooa , in
offensive so far as a.npoars
were brutally whipped in Georgia b ;
white- regulators , and although then
has been a demonstration of olllciu
authority looking to the arrest nnd punishment
ishmont of those criminals , wo' have no
observed that any of them have been
apprehended. The outrages and crime
committed against the negroes in Mis
slssippi , Louisiana , South Carolina am
other southern states by armed band
of white men organized jor this pur
pose , uro not only unpunished , but m
effort hoa boon made to punish the per
potrators. Nor do the authorities in
torust themselves to prevent such out
rages by discountenancing the organl
zations that commit thum , or nre re
"Bponsiblo for their commission , Tha
their existence is well known to tin
authorities cannot be questioned , Tin
northern republican congressmen wh
wont down to the third congrosslonn
district of Louisiana had no dilllcult ;
in ascertaining that there was a bam
of regulators there organized to terrorize
izo thu nugro voterd , and they saw mem
bars of U swaggering about with their
rovolvcra publicly displayed , It
would bo ridiculous to as
sort that the authorities wora
not fully aware of the existence of this
organization nnd its lawless object , yet
no attempt was made to Interfere with
it. It carried out Its purpose with nb-
solute Impunity.
Certainly no ono should bo surprised
thnt such occurrences exasperate the ne
groes , nor will it bo remarkable if thnt
rnco shall develop desperate men \vhc
will incite It to retaliatory * measures , and
whoso influence at last may override
the counsel of careful and conservative
leaders. Such men there are , and
the course of the whites is contrib
uting to their power for mis
chief. The lawlessness which tha
dominant clement practices and tha
authorities tolerate is teaching bloody
instruction , which , being taught , may
have consequences that Mill appall
mankind.
The duty of the whites is plain.
There is but ono thing for them to do ,
ns the Atlanta Constitution says , nnd
that is ta do right ute protect the
negro in his rights to give him justice
nnd friendship and counsel to punish
those who wrong him. " If they will do
this faithfully and honestly the solu
tion of the race problem will bo ro-
liovud of most of its dlflleultios , and the
two races may live nnd work together
in peace for their mutual advantage.
ItlOUTAND EXPEDIENCY.
THE BEE is not disposed to wrangle
with local contemporaries.- cheer
fully accords to them the right to hold
and express any views thpy may enter
tain on questions of publio policy , nnd
has a right to expect that it will be
allowed to exercise this privilege
with its motives unimpugnod by con
temptible lllngs and inuendocs. We
concede to Mr. Hitchcock the patent
right to champion the scheme to dump
eight million dollars Into the Missouri
river between Sioux City anU its mouth ,
under pretense that it will build uy ;
a powerful competitor to the railroaus.
But wo resent most decidedly his im
putation that THE BEE has gene over to
the railroads because it does not favor
this job ; or because it is disposed to pay
tribute to the railroads for an itnmo-
diato raising of the embargo , which has
crippled Omana nnd stunted her growth
these fifteen years.
THE BISK has as much jit stake in
Omaha ns any of its contotnnorarios , and
has perhaps done as mucli toward build
ing up this city as all of them put to
gether. It has stood the test ol
undue corporate influence for
eighteen years , and very often
at a trrcnt sacrifice and under financial
embarrassment. It has the courage
now , as it always has had , to oppose cor
porate aggression when publio interests
demand it , and it also has the courage
to refuse to join ia a tight -in which the
outcome is sure to bo ruinous to the
public. ,
The proposition to pay a bonus for c
union depot is a question of expediency ,
It is not pretended , oven by the rail
road managers , that the bonus askcc
for is a rightful concession. It is sim
ply a question whether Omaha can bet
tor afford to pay this bonus or black
mail , if you please in order to make
Omaha the actual terminus of all the
roads that run to the Missouri river
or drift along with the wretched facili
ties which make her merely a way-
station on the , Union Pacific , with c
stub connection to the trunk lines on
the Iowa side.
THE RELEASE OF NAOLE.
Deputy Marshal Nnglo , who shol
Terry , has been discharged .from cus
tody by the United States "circuit court ,
The case will bo taken to 'the supreme
court of the United States , pending
which the deputy marshal was ordorot
released on his own recognizance undei
bonds. The telegraph furnishes onlj
the salient points of the decision o
Judge Sawyer , which is elaborate. As
to the most important question of juris
diction , the authority of the Unitei
States in declared to bo com
ploto. The principle is laid dowr
that in such cases the nationn
government is paramount , and thai
its jurisdiction is not alTectod by tlu
location where the hominido occurred
The conclusion of the court was thai
the homicide was committed while
Naglo was acting in the discharge o
the duty imposed upon him by the con
stitution and the laws of the Unitiu
States , and that the killing was neces
sary under the circumstances theft ex
isting in order to a complete * and full
discharge of his duty. In the opinlor
of the court the homicide was clearlj
justifiable in law.
No broader avowal of national sov
ereignty has over boon made than ii
contained in this decision. It declares
nt.least in effect , that the assault upon
Justice Field was an assault upon na
tional authority , an interference witl :
the administration of national law , and
that the fatal shot of Nagle was fired by
a federal ollluor in obedience to federal
orders and in defense of federal' au
thority. If this douibion shall be
alllrmod , as in all probability it will bo
the principle it assorts will not bo re
stricted to federal justices and mar
shals. It must extend to nl !
olllcers of the national govern
muni from the president' down executive
ecutivo , legislative nnd Judicial ,
Wherever such olllcer may bo in the
actual discharge of his duty ho'must be
regarded ns covered by the ollicla
panoply of the nation , and the uput on
which he stands doomed , for all pur
posed of his legal protoution , federal
soil. Any crime committed or wrong
done by or against him in his oulclal
capacity must fall within the jurisdic
tion of the United States. It tuts long
been a settled precedent that a pro
cedure against an internal rev
onun otllcor for homicide com
mitted in conlltot vth ( illicit
distillers must bo tried in the fedora1
courtb , a case of this.kind having boor
decided by the suprouio court against
the state of Tennessee moro than i
dozen years ago , Any interference
with the employes of the postofilco do
purtmont carrying the mails is uls <
punished in the federal courts , Bui
thu decision of Judge Sawyer goo <
further than this , nnd assorts u broadui
principle oA federal jurisdiction and
authority. > I
ChnncolloPltont Btvys in hln "Com-
montario3l : > ' ( i Srho raoro clrcurnatanco
that the party'iinjurod by the offense
under pro30plion was an officer of
the government ot the United States
dooa not give'jurisdiction , for neither
the constitution , nor the judicial nets
founded upon'it , gave the federal courts
n general jurisdiction in criminal cases
affecting the ! < jjlcora ( of government , as
they have in cases atlocttng publio min
isters nnd co'n'suls. ' " But a different
doctrine npponrs to have obtained since
the day of the distinguished jurist who
wrote the above , nnd it would seem thnt
this is to bo still further enlarged.
The decision of the supreme court will
determine whether such in to bo the
cuso.
With regard to the opinion of Judge
Sawyer that tbo killing of Terry was
clearly justifiable in law , it Will doubt-
Ios3 bo generally conceded that it is
warranted by the ovidonco. The testi
mony of both Justice Field and Nnglo
loaves no reasonable doubt thnt tho. as
sault made by Terry was with murder
ous Intent , nnd that prompt and doctsivo
action was necessary to dofcat his pur
pose , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TliElntornationnl Amoricnn congress
will visit Omaha during the tour over
the country. As indicated by our dis
patches the party will bo in this city
during the latter part of Octo
ber. As the congress comprises loading
rourosontatives from all the * South and
Coniral American nations it will bo
proper to allow the gentleman an oppor
tunity to become thoroughly acquainted
with Omaha's business methods , Us
municipal features and socinl qualities.
The necessary committees to formulate
nil necessary arrangements for the re
ception and entertainment of our dis
tinguished guests should bo appointed
in ample time so as to avoid any jar
likely to occur on account of hasty
action. As the affair will bo a good ad
vertisement for Omaha in many ways it
should bo properly carried out.
THE times do not seem to bo favorable
to the various third.partios of the coun
try. Even prohibition appears weaker
than for several years past. The re
cent greenback convention hold at Cin
cinnati brought only twonty-fivo dele
gates from all sections of the country ,
nlthough the gathering was to have
been of a national character. The pro
ceedings amounted to nothing moro
than an address by the chairman , who ,
at the close of his remarks , road Wash
ington's farewell address , doubtless as a
soi t of requiem over tno departed
glory of the greonbackor.

The Second Act of Statehood.
BUTTH , M. T. , Sept. 15. Two of the throe
great acts In the drama of statehood have
been performed In Montana. The Ilrst wn-
the selection by the two great parties o
nominees for the various state oftlcoi , members -
bors of the legislature and for congress , to
getticr with n complete set ot candidates fo
county olllccs. The second act was the completion
plotion to-day of the registration of liiral
voters who will participate In the election
the first luosdny in October. Judging bj
the nuuibor registered in Silver Bow county ,
in which Butte Is located , the vote will fal !
materially shortof the vote cast ntthogonora
election last November. Various cause :
combined to produce that result , nnd it is
necessary to recall past events to elucidate
the principal phases of the present cam
paign.
The revolution which rented the demo
crats last full was principally personal line
factional , The tariff , too , cut a htiuo unst
in the democratic vote , because the sheo )
mon and many of the ranchers were stam
pedcd to the republican camp by the efTact
ivo cry of ' 'free wool. " Calm reflection nuil
republican success have materially modlllcij
their fears , nud practically destroyed the
tariff ns nshibboloth In the present campaign
Last fall the loading democrats wnlkoi
abroad with hugo knives In their bunds ,
slashing and gashing party candidates
This was the primary cause of the eruptiot
which astonished the natives us well as tlu
rest of the country , olcctnd Curler , the republican
publican candidate , to congress , and buriei
W. A. Clarke , of this city , under an aval
anche of votes. Marcus Daly contributci
Immensely to this result. Ho is a million
nlro several times , i principal owner of tin
Anaconda mine in this city and general man
ngor of the mammoth smelting works in tlu
city of Anaconda , u position which nets bin
the snug salary of $50,000 a year. Daly is
the priuco of Anaconda , an imperious
boss , with a rich mellow broquo wher
at peace with the world , but i
resistless mountain torrent when in a rage
A few years ago two ot Daly's employes ,
young men , persistently annoyed him witt
otters to soil for 810,000 , certain water riguts
which were necessary for the hfo of tlu
smcltorH. Daly refused to buy and dis
charged tbo men. They peddled their watet
rights in Uutto , nnd finally sold them tc
Clargo for S35.000. Mooting Daly on the
street a few weeks later , Clavko suggested
the propriety of the Anaconda company purchasing -
chasing his water rights. The announce
ment astounded Daly , and when Clurisc
placed the price at $100,000 , Marcus re
strained bis wrath and iravo u check
for tlio amount. The loss of ? 90OOC
took deep root In Daly's bosom , and
when Clarke secured the democratic nom
ination for congress .last fall ho incautiously
boasted to Daly that ho would get there with
out the hitter's ' assistance. Daly quietly set
to work to reap a huge harvest of revenge ,
and bis influence , together with his army ol
a.500 employes , buried CUirko so deep that it
required the resurrection horn of hurmon.y
at tbo democratic convention last month to
bring him to life. Clarke was mailo chair
man of thut convention , and his wounds were
made to bleed afresh by being made one of
ot the committee which tenderal D.ily the
chairmanship of the stato. central committee.
But ho has smothered his wrath in his
anxiety to reach the United States spimto.
The revelation of last fall also resulted in
the election of a republican legislature. The
principal act of thai body was ttio adoption
of the Australian election system in all its
original olTensivenoss. The intent of this
law was to curb the power of the demo
cratic ' 'big four" Daly , Clarke , Hausor and
Broadxvator , but is certain to prove a boom
erang to the party. Hud it been confined tc
the cities , beneficial results would doubtless
accrue , but its extension to tlio country , tc
sparcoly settled districts , has created.iutcnse
feeling against the republican partj
and will bo the uicaua of losing score of votes
among ranchmen , and cattlemen. This larut
class were distant ton to seventy-five miles
from the offices of tbo registrars , und evou
if they wer'3 not detained by harvesting and
the autumn round-ups , u. large par cent ol
them would not undertake the journey ta
register for the privilege of voting at the
coming election. The old-timers of the ter
ritory , particularly the elan called "Miesou-
riaos , " are furiously opposed to political in
novations , and denounce the registration law
and its boxonlce attachment , as the conspir
acy of tonderfcct , and they will exert an ef
fective influence in securing a legislature
pledged to wipe it out. And this feeling-
not confined to democrats. Country repub
licans nro equally emphatic in their opposi
tion to the law.
Observations and inquiry among the r.inli
and fllo of both parties in Helena and Buttc
and along the Missouri valley leads to the
conclusion that Montana will go democratic.
The party leaders are united and working
together on the state central committee. The
ticket is generally conceded to bo superior to
the republican , and the further fact that the
big four uro candidates for the United Staten
si'imtc , with unlimited wealth ' to satisfy
tbolr ambitions , will exert 'a tremendous
force in favor of democratic RUCCCHS.
T. C. Powers , of Helena , heads the repub
lican ticket for governor. Ho ranks high
among the rich men of the territory and is n
dealer in agricultural implements. His
business will not materially asslut him in
vote getting , as the memory of countless 2
per cent notes and foreclosure * linger amonir
the farmers , and they will not bo slow In ro-
ciprocatlng his "kludnuss. " Ho is an en
thusiastic advocate of ' 'protection of homo
industries. " yet the labor organizations of
that city assort that ho has never had a holt
threaded or a nut turned In any shop in the
territory , but sends his work to Chicago.
Tom Carter , ttio present delegate to con
gress , has been renominatotl b.v tbo republi
cans. Between him and Mayor McQinnls
thu race is decidedly close , and local political
experts cannot pick the winner. Carter is a
hustling , hurrah worker. Ho wour % a siullu
a yard long nnd till wool , anil IOUVOH a pleas
ant impression on every hand he pumps. At
the Butte and Helena fairs a few weeks ago ,
ho buttonholed uvery man In the assemblage ,
Binileu on tbo ladles und Ulssed the babies.
If thxj popularity racket counts for
anything , Tom Carter will go to con
gress with a whooping majority. Major
Maginnis is not as ilemonstratlvo as m yearn
gone by. Ho Is calm , lilgnllled , considerably
in love with hlmsolf unit apparently content
to rest on I-is record. Ho ia unquestionably
u hard man to boat , but Carter will give lilm
the liveliest race he over experienced in
Montana.
At present the odds nro In favor of demo
cratic success , i jut no ono can foretell what
two week will develop. Both parties uro
straining every nerve and oloctlon duv will
witness ono of the hardest political battles
over fouuht In Montana.
