The death of Jefferson Davis has removed -
moved from this worlds stngo h flguro
that i must always bo conspicuous In
Amorlcan history The nnmo of the
lender . of the greatest rebellion In all
history cannot bo blotted from the
record which preserves nliko the heroic
struggles of patriots and the malignant
deeds ( of traitors The chnraclor of the
mnn who was most largely responsible for
a i civil con llict that drenched his conn try
Inblood j and filled It with widows and or
phans , is protontod for the serious and
just nnnlyBls and judgment of mankind
It will peccivo a measure of nttontion
and discussion that would bo given to
few other men ot this tlmo porhapsto
none , other in any part ot the world
There is nn injunction thnt wo shall
speak only good of the dead It can
not bo respected in the cuso of
Jefferson Davis Justice to the he
roic dead and the loyal living ,
whoso blood nnd sacrifices preserved
the union , demands thnt the foremost
traitor of modern times shall bo so
characterized and romombarcd , and
that the great crlmo against the nation
so largely duo to his troa3on shall not
bo extenuated or palliated Sympathy
for thorfo of the family of the lender of
fobolllon who survive him may properly
bo felt , but it must not bo pormltted to
stultify the patriotism of the past and
the loyal scntlmont of the present
by condemning truasou Truth re
garding JotTorson Davis Is all that his
most ardent admirers can fairly ask
Loyal men will lind It enough , but they
will be satisfied with nothing less than
the truth .
JolTcrbOn Davis might have boon il
lustrious in his country's history Ho
had ability of a high order , force of
character , and cupaeity for leadership
qualities which gave him while t > tlll
a young man oxaltcd position ,
and which hud they boon di
rected by a true patriotism
might have carried him to higher dis
tinction than ho attained under the
government Ho chose a dllTeront
course Yielding to a falsa political
sentiment and for the maintenance of
tbo institution of slavery ho became a
traitor and n rebel Ho turned his
sword ngainst the government which
had educated him , which ho had sol
emnly sworn , ns a soldier , a member of
congress , and a cabinet otlleor , to
faithfully servo , and as the or
ganizer of rcbolllon sought the
dismombcrment and overthrow of
the union This is the plain , un
varnished truth or history , nnd this
great crime , with all Its bitter aud
terrible consequences , Jou cr on Davis
never repented of Without regret or
romcrsc for what ho had wrought , but
rnthor proudly cherishing his treason ,
ho chose to live aud die a man without
n country Aud so ho closed his eyes
on this world unpurgod of a crlmo
which in all civilized binds , since
governments were instituted , has
been deemed the highest of
which the citizen can bo guilty
The pride and devotion which Jeffer
son Davis manifested for his record of
treason had a very great influence in
perpetuating in the south a fooling of
regret fortho ' lost cnuso"nnd nspirit of
hostility toward the government A
largo number of people iu the south rc-
gardod the obstinate refusal ot Mr
Davis to seek a return to citizenship
as a lofty example of solf-abncga-
tion made in tho.cause of a great prin
ciple , and as an evidence of his love for
that section , whereas it was unquestion
ably prompted muinlyby the Inordinate
and unbending pride of tlio man But
it served to keep alive the fires of soc
ttonal animosity , and thus Jefferson
Daviswno by a single act which all just
men would have approved , could have
done more than any hundred men in
the south to cool the passlous left
from the war and bring about a
speedy pacification of the sections , wnB
a potent influence In retarding the
growth of good feeling and chocking
the work of national readjustment
That the removal of this unfortunate
influence will bo beneficial to the south
is at least to bo hoped for
For such service as Jefferson Davis
did his country before his treason lot
him receive full credit Ho was a bravo
and useful soldier against the Indians
aud in the war with Mexico As
a member of both houses of
congress and a euuinot official his rec
ord was not without credit when the
character-of his political education Is
fairly considered Dut with this all is
said that justly can bo favorable to the
public career and character of .TofTor-
son Davis Undoubtedly his memory
will bo widely honored among the people
ple of the south This can bo pardoned
But the people who opposed the rebel
lion aud preserved the union must
think and speak of him with the candor
which the facts of history demand
'
a monumextat Fit aud
Mr W. J. Broatch has seen fit to 1
enter the arena as a defender of the 1
conspiracy hatched under his personal
inspiration against George W. Llnlnger
and the republican ticket Llko the cut
tlefish , ho tries to cover his crooked [
trucks by shedding in his wako a great
quantity of Ink Instead of olotu'inghis 1
skirts from proofs of deceit , treachery
und double-dealing , he devotes himself
almost entirely to a personal tirade 1
against myself The ouly point worthy
of note iu ull his vindictive bluster
about mo is the charge that I'm no bct-
tor than ho und his infamous coparcen
ers , an J his barefuccd lying as rogarda 1
my course toward liiin und his election 1
as mayor two years ago It is true that
I have on several occasions op
posed candidates nominated in repub
lican conventions But I have always
opposed them openly nnd glvon reasons
why the public interest demanded their
defeat I navor have pledged support
to any man and sold lilm out I never
have taken part Iu any convention as a
delegate and knifed the men I helped
to nomlnuto It is a matter of history
that iu onu instance , when a county
convention fraudulently unseated a
rightfully elooted delegation 11 publicly
denounced the net and withdraw from
the convention after duo notice that I
would not consider myself bound to
suport | cauaidatcs fraudulently nom
inated , In the recent county cam
paign Mr . Couurti was notlllod by mo
weeks before the convontlou that ho
could ( not count on the support
of t Tin : Bii : : , nnd after his nomt
inntiou I 'I personally npponlod to him
to 1 withdraw And unllko Broatch ,
Cob I urn is manly enough to admit that
my 1 course toward him was honorable
But Broatch lacks every instinct of
nn 1 honorable man JIo has the uudac1
ity 1 to state that ho was elected mayor
in I splto of my opposition In the face of
the 1 fact that ho owed his nomination to
ray : personal efforts with delegates who
were disposed to distrust his pledges ,
and i in the face of the fact that I con1
tributcd ever six hundred dollars
toward dofraylng the expenses of his
mayornlly campaign This is , however ,
ot 1 minor Importance
This man Broatch hns boon posing
as n model of integrity and n
loyal upholder of good government and
the strict onforcomentot law and order
By cunning nnd duplicity ho has man
aged to create the impression among
the best people of this city that ho has
boon n sincere and uncompromising op-
pouontof everything that Is dlsroputa-
bio , disorderly and lawless
Broatch has proved hlmsolf a monumental
mental fraud His career ns mayor has
been ono of constant dccoptlon and self
ish scheming for personal ends and am-
bltioua designs During the memorable
struggle between the council and the
police commission , when ho had en
listed the active support of good citi
zens against the combine that
sought to starve the police ,
ho was constantly negotiating comnro-
mises Whllo myf.olf and other citlzons
had raised a fund to pay the police , and
I had personally sacrificed thousands of
dollars by upholding the poltco com
mission in the face of threats that the
city hall would bo relocated , Mr
Broatch stood ready to make terms for
furthering his own ends In the very
heat of this exciting struggle , while
the title ot Chief Soavoy was being
tested in the courts , ho signed the ordl-
nanco nnd the warrant to pay Tom
Cummings his salary ns city marshal
This was practically giving away the
case Soavoy and Cummings could not
legally hold the office of chief of
police at the same tlmo My
earnest romonstranoo ngainst pay
ing Cummings was mot by Broatch
with the response that Cummings
was hard up and needed the motioy to
start a saloon I
Why dent you pay Cummings out of
your own pocket ? " I asked
But Mr Btoatoh proforrcd that the
city pay two salaries because Cummings
needed money with which to start a sa
loon
loon.A
A few days later , when Seavey , who
had bocotno tired of the fight , tendered
his resignation , Broatch promptly voted
to accept it nnd moved us a substitute
for Seavey ono of his Solid Twenty
eight , who had for years kept a saloon
on the northeast corner of Douglas
and Fourteenth streets This would
have boon a complete surrender
to the auti-polico sombine , but
Broatch cared nothing about the
law and order part , so long as the now
chief was a man who would be a polit
ical tool Mr Broatch however , was
Toiled by my personal appeal to the
members of the police commission to
reconsider their action and uphold the
status in which their case stood in the
courts at that period
But the most disgusting imposture
which Broatch has been playing upon
credulous people who regard him as the
law nnd order champion has been since
he eoiflmeneed to sot his pins for ro-
"
election The spy system which ho in
augurated has been a sham and a
fraud , gotten up chiefly for the purpose
of holding clubs ever the heads ot sa
loonkeepers , dive owners and gamblers
Mr Broatch and his detectives soon
became accessories to the most scandal
ous violutions of the law Lust summer ,
after Dull Green was forced to resign
from the police force , I called Mr
Broatch's attention to the fact that
there was collusion between his detectives -
tives and certain gambling hells Ono
of these resorts , the Diamond saloon ,
was theu runulng and still continues
to run faro tables and other
games , by and with the
tacit consent of Broatch This saloon
has ulwnys been the tryfeting place of
the bogus detectives I asked Mr
Broatch why ho tolerated these lawless
places , especially during the fair when
strangers and visitors wore liable to bo
swindled or confldenced out of their
money Mr Broatch contended that
ho was unable to suppress these crimi
nal resorts But they never were dis
turbed , although Mr Broatch's dotoc-
ttvos have achieved ronowu by climb
ing transoms and broaklng open doors
in private houses to ferret out raon or
women who were consorting without
marriage licenses
While Broatch was pulling the wool
ever the eyes of the goody-goody people
in suppressing niggins' saloon ho was
enlisting the support of the dlvo keep
ers who were ton times as bad as flig-
gins In place of Higglnn nnd in the
same building , wo have McGucken and
his upper story chambers Ed Rothory ,
whoso resort is headquarters for thugs ,
bruisers aud toughs , was taken
to tno bo era of Broatch nnd
on last Tuesday Broatch put
fully two thousand dollars Into the poclc-
ots of Rothory by locating the voting
pltico of the Second precinct of the
Third ward in Rothery'a high-toned
dcti Aud while all the worst rum holes
were being favored by Broatch , other
liquor dealers were blacklisted aud uor-
secuted because they refused to lend
Broatch their political Inlluonco
Broatch prates about the enforcement
of the Sunday law the old fruud !
He did enforce the Sunday
law rigidly for the llrst nluo months
this year , but for the last tno mouths
every Broatch saloon has hod a handy
back door open , with the assurance that
the police would not molest thorn
With these fuetn before them , our law
abiding citizens can no longer bemoan
the merited dofcatof Broatch , Huhusnot
only imposed 011 good and pious people ,
but morlts their everlasting contempt
Broatch is not only nn impostor , but a
dangerous political desperado His ut-
tempt to carry the prlmurles by an
army of htrellngs and repeaters , while
sailing undnr law aud order colors , and
his manlpulr.tion of the Third wurd
primary election judges und clerks , 1
. , * j - _ .
who were instigated to felonious In
terference with the poll list and to
sign fraudulent returns , surpasses
In 1 infamy anylHlng that has ever boon

cage ballot-box stuffers A chlof exec
utlvo who wfll resort to such moans
must bo indoe.dilospcrato , if not abso

The faint attempt Broatch makes to
exonerate his1 Into confodorutcs who

Mayor Broatch never tires of point
ing I to his administration as u model of
integrity ' nnd economy As a mnttor of
fact ' Broatch nnd his administration
were clean o'lly in spots In a number
of < instances Broatch has made a good
record ' by rofuslng to sanction measures
thnt ' were unclean or questionable But
these spasms of Intogrlty were offset
frequently by his winking at fraud and
palpable ' jobbery In every thing Broatch
was always a calculating politician ,
ready ' to overlook crookedness whenever -
over ' It was fathered by counoilmon
who were his supporters , or outsiders
who pretended to bo his backers
The Wo , Us & Co paving nnd grad
ing frauds were condoned because non
est ! Jim pretended to bo an ardent
: Broatch man But Fred Grays paving
blocks were all rotten after Gray had
shown ' himself adverse to Broatch's ad
' ministration
The city hall fight was begun out of
splto ' by the council combine atrainst
the police commission But Broatch
played into the bands of the combine
at ! the bock of _ Jim Croighton nnd Joe
Redman , because ho expected political
favors from tiicm
This collusion on the part of Broatch
with the city hall wreckers has lost the
city not loss than fifty thousand dollars
Broatch cancelled the Meyers plans nnd
relensod the contractors and bondsmen
for the city hall basement That entailed -
tailed a dtroct loss of twonty-fivo
thousand dollars at least After
the courts had onjolued the re
location soliotno Broatch joined Has
call , Counsmau nnd company , nnd ap
proved the ordinance ordering the re
submission of the location That entailed -
tailed further delay and moro expense
When Whooor ] ' , Chalice and Couns-
man hatched out , the now city hull jug
glery by which the cutiro walls of the
basement were destroyed , nnd the
plans were requlrod to leave no option
for unythmg bi 'it ' , Dodliu granite , nnd a
curtailing of'J the building on the
alloy line , Mr JJroateh closed his eyes
to this manifest jobbery and robbery of
the taxpayers atd | approved it This
act cost thorf city fully Ctwonty-fivo
thousand dolldrs besides botching up a
public buildinc that will cost three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars
When Wheeler and Chaffeo pulled
through the , appropriation ordinance
to pay the architects ever twelve
thousand dollars bbforo a stone had
boon laid on the foundation that model
of intogrlty , Mayor Broatch , aporovod
the ordinance , and the job was only
chocked through the exposure made by
This Bevj
Other instances ot the peculiar meth
ods of the administration of Broatch
could be cited , such as the employment
of supernumeraries in the city offices
for political ends , and the reckless
waste of the public funds in byways
and highways , Nobody of course con
tends that any man will bo immaculate ,
but when Mr Broatch poses as the only
clean und vigilant mayor Omaha has
over had , ho presumes too much on the
ignorance and credulity of our citizens
We nAvE boon treated to confirma -
tions and contradictions of the reports
of distress nnd suffering in the Dakotas
At first the appeal for aid mot with a
ready response from generous people in
adjoining states , but the boomers and
speculators , fearing that the appeal to
the chnritablo would effect their busi
ness , denounced the accounts as false
hoods and Insulted their bonofaotors by
declaring that they were nblo to take 1
care of their own poor After all these
assortlons nnd donlals comes a confes
sion by Governor Mellette of South
Dakota , that the reports of distress were
not oxnggoratod Personal Investiga
tion convinces him that outside aid is
necessary His unfortunate that the
mercenary spirit of the boomers was
permitted to chill the wellsprlngs of 1
generosity The help tendered by
neighbors was the offering of prosperity
to unavoidable misfortune , and should
have been accepted It Is doubtful if
nn appeal for aid will now moet with a 1
hearty response

In bis recant address at Muneuostor , Mr
Gladstone , outlined the programma of tbo 1
liberal party la broad and general terms , yet
as fully as could bo expected before a liberal 1
return to power , aud doubtless quite fully
cnouub to sutisfy the demands ot those who 1
have desired such a statement Mr Glad -
stone said tno loc.il government bill did not '
moot tbo legitimate demands of tbo country >
Ho advocated granting the county councils 1
powers of taxation , the control of tbo police
and tbo liquor tratllc , the care of the poor , 1
power to deal with the question of ground I
rents und to form district councils , and bo
would possibly go further aud establish tbo
parish principle of eovcrnmeut , an ! thus 1
convoy to the rural population tbo first '
elements ot their publto olucatton and
create a sense of public duty , which 1
la tbo highest aim ot a atatosman ,
These summations are all in tbo line of f
liberal | iolicy , which Is to thoroughly adopt I
the prlnclpto of home rule and give it a wide 1
nnd almost universal application This will
bo an education to the voters and a chock
upon the lnrgor action ot parliament Mr
Gladstone also referred to tbo growth of
public sentiment in favor of legislation to
provldo hotter homoa for tbo poor , to mill
pnto the woes of the crofters , to disestablish
the church In Scotland and Wales Ho oven
gave cautious monttou to the growing fool
ing against the bouso of lords Ho spoke of
his Increasing weight of years and doubted
whether ha would personally have a share
In many future reforms , nnd closed by pre
dicting a liberal victory at the next gouoral
fection , Mr , Gladstone's speech has cs >
pcclat Interest because of the nlniost cer
tain tv ot such n liberal victory It will not
bo long now before the party of England's
future will have another opportunity to im
press Its ideas nnd convictions upon legis
lation , Evidently when that tlmo comes
Uritalu will sco startling changes
Nothing could show moro elenrly tbo little
liopo Lord Salisbury has of chocking the
liberal tide of succcs thou tbo revival of tbo
old and threadbare throat that tbc peers will
throw out tbo homo rule bill even If It docs
go through the commons It is clear from
his recent Bpnccbcs that tbo tory loader bcus
ar enough Into the future to roahzo that his
party rule Is doomed Hut so ridiculous n
threat isof no-eirtbly use in the campaign ,
as It will not only fall to attract a alnglo vote ,
but It Is not backed by any authority except
Salisbury's own , which Is not llkoly to preVail -
Vail In the matter That tbo house of lords
would take great pleasure la killing a homo
rule bill con bo talten for granted , but this
august body has frequently voted for meas
ures ngainst Its will The house of commons
represents tbo popular will and tbo peers nro
becoming more and moro chary of opposing
this Given tbo oltcrnativo ot Its own aboli
tion the bouso of lords would no doubt gladly
vote for borne rule or anything else Salis
bury's ' throat will not worry the homo rulers
With Gladstone again in command of the
government they will ho perfectly willing to
talec their chances lot homo rule

the troops Bolccted for review were freshly
uniformed , tbo front walls ot bouses were
whitewashed , the streets were cleaned , and
some of them were carpeted Nevertheless ,
tbo truth could not bo hidden that Turkey
has never been mora helpless against foreign
'
ac/g / rcsslon or moro exposed to Internal revo
lution than she is today , liut few worus
need be wasted on the notorious Ineniclency
of tbo Turkish fleet The ships are con
structed on an old and now discarded
system , and they proved almost useless
In tbo last war ngainst Russia The army ,
which still exhibited traces of its old
energy at Plevna , Is now disorganized and
disaffected la the provinces the pay of
both oftlcora and soldiers has been in arrears
for some two years Even tbo pay of the
privileged garrison of the capital Is six
months overdue Tbo whole body of civil
officials has a similar grievance , and is fur
ther exasperated because tbo machinery of
government Is incessantly thrown out of
gear by the sultans capricious interference ,
duo partly to the clandestine inlluonco of
palace favorites and partly to unmistahablo
symptoms of inherited Insanity The out
rages perpetrated on Christians in Crcto and
Armenia uro indisputable , but , what is loss
genornlly known , the Turks themselves have
qulto as much to suffer at tbo bands of their
despot Thousands of upright and zealous
Moslems have been condemned to exllo
Hundreds have sbarod the fate of Mldhat
Pasha , the ono resolute and almost tri

The stake which Portugal is playing for In
Africa is unquestionably a great ono , and she
is putting forth supreme oTort3 ! to win it It
includes , in the first place , the practical con
trol of the catiro valley of the Zambesi , ono
of tbo great rivers of tbo continent , the very
greatest that empties on the east coast , and
a valuable highway for a commerce yet to bo
developed Next , Portugal's aim is to con
nect her colonics around Benguela on tbo
west coast and Qullimano nnd Sofnla on the
east coast by a broaa transcontinental zone ,
through which in future years sbo may run
railroads , and thus find a double outlet for
tbo products nf the interior In this attempt
sbo hopes to ohtain the support of Franco
and also that of Germany , Doth of
which countries have looked upon
her claim not unfavorably , whllo
a judicious withdrawal from terri
torial conflicts with the latter on the west
coast will help her It is obvious that the
cuso has now como to a direct issue Oust
ing Portugal from her claims over the basin
of the Congo has not disposed Great Brituin
to nllow her to indemnify herself by any ox-
cluslvo jurisdiction on the Zambesi , This
was clearly shown by her decided refusal to
submit to Portugal's practically prohibitive
customs duties on that river and bcr efforts
to contlno tbo trade to steamers flying her
flag It is also very likely tbat tbo Nyassa
expedition , under Serpa Pinto , will bo ac
cused of encroaching on British rights But
tbu immediate question rnlsed is as to the
right to Mashonaland ; aud Portugal will bo
fortunate if she is able to Bccuro out of tno
resulting disnuto a conceded right to ovou
a narrow territorial strip connecting Mozam
bique and Angola

to break his word with Iilsuurck In order to
avert a crisis Quotations of the Bulgurian
loan were again allowed in the regular stock
reports , and Prince Ferdinand was again
