WHY OMAUA EXCELLED
It is very gratifying to lenrn that the
delegates to the thrco Amorlcos uonfor-
enco were better plonsod with the trent
ment accorded thorn in Omaha than
with their cxporionco in any ether city
The success of this city In entertaining
the visitors was duo to the fact that our
hospitality was not strained , but while
nmplo as a manifestation of hearty
interest and cordiality , hnd some
thlng of the quality of spon-
tnnioty about it The visitors wore
regarded ns distinguished guests
to bo mndo romfortible rnthor than as
a grand aggregation to bo paraded
about for the gratification of the curious
crowd Thuy wore shown such things
ns wo had to interest thoin , they were
glvon enough to cat/-and drink , they
were mndo to feel ut homo in thosocloty
of our best citizens , and they were not
worried with long and henvy speeches
relating to matters Upon which they
needed no now information Their day
and a half in Omnha was thus a period
of rollnt and relaxation for them , and it
is very pleasing to know that their visit
hero is ono ot the most agrecablo mem
ories of their journey1 !
The trouble with the trcntmont
shown the visitors in moat other cities
was that the entertainers thought it
norcssnry to make a show ot the dele
gates , as If to rcmovo.rv qulto common
impression that they were not people
like ourselves Tlio climax of this
ridiculous way Of treating the guests
appnnrs to have been reached in
Philadelphia , where it is said they
were placed in a rope inclosuro in
the rooms ot the Union Longtio club ,
and in that position were gva : d at by
the people us if they hail been so mnny
curiosities It is easy to understand
that this disrespectful nnd otTonslvo
treatment caused a good deal ot feeling
nmong the delegates not favoniblo to
Philadelphia's ideas of hebpitality , and
their first trip having ended there Itis
unfortunate that anything ocourrod to
leave unon their inlnds a bad impres
sion It is understood to be the
intention of the state depart
ment to tnko the delegates on
a trip through a portion of the
south , if any considerable number
of them can bo induced to go , and if
this is done it is to bo hoped that Miuth-
ern hospitality , which is apt to bo
somewhat olTusive , will carefully guard
against the Philadelphia style of cntor-
tainment The most agrcenblo hospi
tality is that which , while lacking
nothing in heartiness and cordiality , is
not strained and oxccs lvoly formal ,
and surely nothing can bo more oiTon-
sivo to rotlncd and intelligent Indies
and gentlemen than to bo placed in a
position where they must become ob
ject of attention from tno curious and
vulgar It is the fact that they were
not subject to this disrespectful sort of
treatment in Omaha , butyot were most
hosuitably entortaiuod , that causes
thorn to remember their visit to thi3
city \s ith particular pleasure
JlfR KTEItbTVAD'S VIEWS
Tms Brk is not in accord with Mr
Kiorstcads views as to the manner of
enforciug the high license law
The lawiB specillc with regard to pay
ment ot the ono thousand-dollar license
Nobody can lmvo a legal license unless
the whole amount is paid in advance
No license could be revoked and no
dlvo or disorderly place could bo sup
pressed if everybody could , violate the
law promiscuously The objoot of the
thousand-dollar license , payable in ad
vance , is to restrict the number of re
sorts for the sale of liquor This maybe
bo a hardship on men who want to make
a living out ot Baloon-kcoping with
out moans to carry on the business
But n , man who has not a thousand dollars
lars ot capital should go into some
ether business While it is true
that a largo number have had to bor
row the money to procure a licoubO ,
they assumed the risk of selling enough
liquor to warrant them In the venture
If thirty , forty or even fifty ot them can
notcommandtho tliousand'Bollarsby the
first of January , they will have to
chnugo their occupations
Suloonkooping is not an inherent
right in any country If the number ot
saloons decreases , it will simply leau tea
a survival of the tlttost
There is no high license on banking ,
but under the laws of Nebraska , people
who want to run a state bank , must have
at least fifty thousand dollars ot actual
money If they cannot command that
amount of cupitul , they may borrow It
and pay interest to ether banks ,
but in any event they must
Bhow to the bank oxuminor
that they have a paid up capital of fifty
thousand dollars This is no hardship
'on poor men who desire to embark in
the banking business , but it is a mnttor
of protection for the public
High liuenso moans high license If
the next legislature can bo convinced
that the trafllo in liquor In cities of the
metropolitan class can bo equally as
well restricted nnd conducted under
quarterly payments as it is under the
yoar-in-advanco system , the law makers
may revise the stiituto in that particu
lar Until then our licensing board
will bo compelled to exact the thousand
dollar license in advance They could
not do olherwiso without laying them
eolvos liabto to impeachment or ro-
moval The mayor himself is only ono
flfth of the bouru , and whoever may bo
eleetod mnyor will bo powerless to relieve -
liovo the licensing board from an im
perative manduto of the law which has
boon pronounced vnlld tflid binding by
the supreme court ot the state
AN INVIANPOLICY
Ono ot the strong points made in favor
of the nnpointinont of Indian Commis
sioner Morgan was the fact that ho had
glvon tv great deal of careful study to
the Indian problem Ho was credited
with knowing very thoroughly the
wants of the Indian , and of possessing
advnncod ideas as to how the govern
ment should deal with the national
wards The annual report of the com
missioner , of which a synopsis is pub
lished , enables the publlo to
know what these ideas are
These views may clnsh with the crude
notions ot Indian rights reformers who
have never como in contact with the
noble rod man , These impractical
Btatosmon have formed their Ideas from
reading Fonlmoro Coopers novels and
the Bontl mental gush about the abori
gines which finds its way Into gilt
edged volumes ol poetic vlsionnrlos
Commissioner Morgan announces
eight voryNgonornl propositions toward
disposing of the Indian problem Ono
of those is Hint the Indiana must con
form to the white mans ways , pence
nbly if they will , forcibly if they must "
Whntovcr may bo thought ot the wis
dom ot this suggestion , it is cortninly n
very novel ono to . como from a
commissioner of Indian nITalrs
The only point on which Commissioner
Morgan has not gene far enough to
wards solving the Indian problem Is
his proposition to have all Indians
placed on the same level , Our Indians ,
ncatterod from the Indian Territory to
Alaskj , , are either half-clvillzod or
vorglng on the savage state The Chor-
okces , Choctaws , Somlnolcs , Pawnees
and Otocs , who now occupy the * Indian
Territory , have reached , nn advnncod
state ot civilization They till the soil ,
raise cattle and hnvo nduptod thom
sohes to various industrial pursuits ,
These Indians enn bo hold down strictly
to conform with the wa ; s of the white
man This is also true of the
Omalias , Wlntiobagoos nnd the tribes
that live between the Missouri
and the Columbia But it is uttorly.put
of question to brfng down the Sioux ,
Chcyonties , Arapahocs nnd Apaches
to the ways or the white moil These
Indians still recognize no law unless it
is backed by sabres , bajonots and re
peating rillos Thousands of these res
ervation Indians never can bo
subdued unless they are placed
under the control of the army
They at3 lazy , shiftless , cunning and
bloodthirsty It is all moonshine to *
talk about making thorn work or starve
What congress should do with rngnrd
to the Indians Is to dr.iw the line be
tween the Indians that nro already dis
posed to earn n living and the cut
throats whoso early training has been
with the scalping knife and hatchet
These treacherous and untractablo
savages should bo placed directly under
control of the army , and when in the
duo course of time they have been
taught how to behave themselves under
the discipline of experienced nrmv olll-
ccts like Generals Crook and Miles ,
they can bo readily transferred to the
cite of the Indian butcau
TiiKitu has been a considerable ad
vance in silver within ti short time , tlio
London price now being oight.\-eight
cents This is the highest figure
reached duiiug tno current year The
explanation of the advance is in the
enlarged demand from Indi.i , duo to
the improvement in commercial condi
tions iu that country , resulting in part
from the profitable harvest of last year
This Indian demand has been met
from supplies of American bullion , and
there being no surplus when
the fall domnnd for subsidiary
coinage purposes arose in Bugland and
on the continent , the supply preyed in
adequate and a steady advance in price
ensued The shipments of silver from
this country to Great Britain the ptos-
ont year amount to nearly twenty mil
lion dollars , almost double the amount
of hist years shipments The prospect
appears favoiable for a fjat thor advance
in the price of silver
The latest batch of Mormon revelations -
tions" are mouldy with age , but they
serve to show the intensity of the muni
cipal campaign raging in Salt Lake
City three months before the election
The August election gave the gentiles
a majority of forty votes in the city To
overcome this growing power and hold
on to the offices , the Mormons inaugu
rated an extensive system of public
works and imported hundreds of their
followers The chief object , however ,
is to secure an incronsod colony to vote
at the February election The point
raised against the * naturalization of
these imported Mormons is that they
cannot become citizens ot the United
States , having sworn to uphold the
church against all government laws If
sustained by the court it will dis
franchise two-thirds of the Mormons
Tim InterState Commerce associa
tion is rapidly going to pioeos To pro
sotitan outward show of vitality it has
ordered the Union Pacific and North
western to submit a copy of their agree

plied with dissolution must folfow It is

OTIlEll LAFDS THAN OUtlS I
The outlook I fhnt at the next session of
parliament the tory Rovornmont will play Its
last stnko in the political game Two Irish
measures will bo introduced In the bollof
that they will wtfaken the llboral party by
completely disarinlnK the homo rule contin
gent The piny js attended with considerable
blo risk , but the stateo is high , , 'rha stake Is
cor.tlnuartco In BlUco The measures which
will bo Introdu.Qcd are the endowment of a
Catholic university In Ireland and a land
pnrchaao schonfo for that country at the ex
pense of the Ilnttoh treasury and bused upon
English credit , which would do away with
landlordism A both of these measures are
manifestly tor the amelioration ot the condi
tioner the Irish people , most of the Irish
members , however much they may bo op
posed to the government , will bo constrained
to vote for , , them It will bo re
called that the proposed action of
the tory ministry Is la effect nn

Mr Gladstone , so that It will bo simply nrop *

Irish Catholics failed of ndeo.uuto parlia

party helped to dofcit Three yours ago
Mr Glndstono introduced a land.purcluiso
bill as iv nicnsuro of justlco to land owners
In Ireland , and of rcllot to tenants The de
feat of Hint bill Placed the present govern

ing an unreasonable and dungorous liability
on the Cngllsh taxpayer Slnco thou Mr
Chamberlain offered .1 land scheme which
did not even obtain consideration , mid Lord
Itandolph Churchill devised a plan to which
no ono would llstoo , And now como the tortes -

Is only fair to note that oven the largo ma

Unfortunately for the republican party of
Franco , the political system cf that state bus
not ro.ichcd the high grade ot unity which Is
to bo found In the great parties in English

The scheme of Australian federation is at
tracting nitontlon in Englaud as well as in
the continent which it immediately affects
English sentiment is not likely to oppose any
arrangement , thu Australians may adopt
For a generation or moro the English policy
ubout thu colonies has been not to spend any
money on them Of course , English orators
call it by much finer names , but this is what
It comes to Of late j'oars a good many Eng
lishmen have been led to the conclusion that
this policy was a mistake , but they are not
liitelv to Induce the house of commons to
change it , or any statesman who wishes to
make a show of saving in his budget to pro
pose a changa In it English poets , like Lord
Tennyson , occasionally appeal to the colonists
nists all over the world to como up to the
help of the mother country against the
mighty without showing them any particular
icason why they should Moauwhlto the
colonists go their own wav without paying
much moro attention to English opinion than
English opinion pays to the n. The sehemo
of Australian federation is impressive when
it is looked at in a general way ; but it must
not booxamined too olosoly Two countries
with different tariffs are two , nnd not ono ,
as regards foreign nations , and the Austral
iun colonies have severally enacted tariffs
which none of thorn is likely to give up for
the sale of union A federation which
loaves each member of the lcaguo at liberty
to enact commercial laws without reference
to any ether can not be a federation in
our sense , or in any nthor that has much
meaning
•
Whatever traditional distrust ot Austral
Ian intentions may linger in the Turkish
mind is now faint , indeed , compared with
the mortal dread of Knssia , while in the
German emperor the Ottoman Caliph must
needs recogalzo a friend It was at
Berlin that the latter was rescued from the
ruinous terms of Wenco Imposed on him at
San Stofano , nfijlit ; was through the moral
interposition off Germany that the most

being a grIovoui"aetrImout to Turkey , has
been transformed into a benefit , Tlio

Ferdinand against Itusslan attack , nnd wo
may bo tolerably.cortaln that such a con
tlngonoy was not lost sight of in bis col
loquies with his imperial guest It is not ,
Indeed , necessary or expedient that the
sultan should avowedly connect himself
with the triple alliance It is merely need
ful that he should , by an understanding with
the German kalsur , agree to consider a Rus

aimed Indirectly at the Ottoman empire

It is suspected by Europeau financlors that
the Russian ministry is resorting to the pol
icy ot disguising in its reports the real facts
as to the country's financial condition , The
Jiadgot for 1838 , just published Is on its face
an astonishing exhibit of prosperity The
reported lucroaso in revenue was $31,430,000 ;
tt.o Increase in expenditures only U , 'JiCl,0iW.
mmmWmmmm
The gain in receipts see mi to bo fairly stated
Most of It comes from the mcrcaso In cus
toms , Internal revenue taxes and sales ot
publlo lands , the sugar tax bomg the only
item which shows n substantial loss as coin
pared with 1S87. Uut the expenditure col
umn is evidently Juggled with , The war ex
penditures , for Instance , nro only $575,000 ,
moro than in the preceding year , desplto a
well known nnd enormous Incrcaso In tlio
military nnd naval nrmnments , The publlo
debt charge Is decreased by K10.000 , which
is partly explained by the forced convorslon
ot certain loans to a lower rate But It is
understood thnt Russia has recently negoti
ated a now forotgn loan Tlio obvious quos
tton is , why was thisdono , with so enormous
n gain in surplus rovonuol But even If the

It is to the republican party alone that
tat iff revision can bo Bufely trusted The
party was successful last yenr , not because
no revision was wanted , but because It was
dcslrablo to trust the needed revision to the
onlv party that would be certain to maintain
the principles of protection , ltonubllcati
legislation in former years put a great many
articles on the free list ; it can now safely
enlarge the list in many respects It would
bo a great misfortune both to the country

Major-General Sclioflold Discusses
the iMniter nt Length
WASnixoTox , Nov 15 The nnnual report
of Major-General Schofield , commanding the
army , was made public todaHo pays
especial attention to the desertion question
Ho says : The causes of discontent which
lend to desertion from the army are numer
ous They have boon sought for diligently for
years , and imvnyot them hnvobocn removed
Some of them are probably beyond the
reach of any remedy One of tboso
is the naturally discontented disposition
of men who are led by that
fcoling alone to seek a chnngo from the mo
notony of breud-winning in any civil pursuit
by entering the supposed arduous corvico ot
the United States , these men rarely desert
when engaged in nn active campaign , however -
over great the hardship or severe the disci
pline may bo It is the ordinary labor nnd
routlno of military duties which lnspirothcm
with discontent These causes of desertion
can tint be lcmovcd SufUcient remedy may ,
perhaps , bo found io the case of all worthy
men who llud , after a few months trial , that
they hnvo mistaken their calling , by the
more liberal oxoicisoof the power to dir
churgo soldiers upon their own npplication
than hns over heretofore provallcd
Great care in tho.rccruiting servlco to pre
vent the enlistment ot men of bad character
and habits mav bo found practicable Meas
ures having these ends In view have already
boon instituted Also greater care In the
ticatmontot recruits by officers and non
commissioned officers
The records of desertion from the differ
ent organizations leave no room for doubt of
the fact that the character of the command
lug officer has much to do with the extent of
this evil In some Instunees It appears that
captains ore in the habit of leaving the care
and discipline of their mon to the first ser
geant , or ether noncommissioned officers ,
without that constant supervision and con
trol which a captain should exercise In
all such cases the captain should be promptly
removed from the command which bo seri
ously noglccts After all possible has been
done to remove reasonable excuses for
desertion , it still remains true that the means
now piovidod for the arrest and punishment
of deserters nro wholly inadequate Only
ono In five is ever captured This Is not
sufficient to deter mon from committing
crhno The remedy is to nuthorizo civil
officers to arrest deserters nnd incrcaso the
reward so as to compensate them for their
service " fctti
Ho recommends that the present five ar
tillery rcirlracnts bo organized into seven
regiments ; that the infantry regiments con
sist of three battnlllons , aggregating twelve
companies , and that the enlisted strength of
the army ho incrcuscd to UO 000. Rofoi ring
to the work of the board ot ordnance and
fortifications , bo says :
The plans of the encincor department
will provide nil the land defenses necessary
for the security of thu gi eat maritime ports
of the country In a few cases tboso land
delcnses will hnvo to bo supplemented by
floating batteries or powerful harbor de
fense vessels , because thu necessary founda
tions for the guns do not exist on solid
ground , Submarine mines and movable tor
pedoes will play an important though second
ary part in the general plans of defense
Provision should bo tnado for the necessary
garrisons at the principal aoaports "
A table is given showing the noccssitlos of
this work The war garrisons ot the sea
coast defenses would ba about 85,000 artill
erymen and 1,305 gui * oI modern construc
