Tun Slieody trial continues tional ; it is likewise expensive. WITH bright prospects for crops , ro- ciproiiily nnd good prices , the ciilnmitj wallers of Cincinnati tire really In hard luck to explain why thev exist. Tmihonvy rnin in South Dakota and tlio line prospects for crops in Nebraska and Kntisas uro the hvrshcst strokes which hivvo boon struck at the thinl party inovomont. Tan democrats nro hard up for nn issue \\hon they sool ; to make ono out of the alleged refusal of the president to shako hands with a black woman named Mary Jones , nt Portland , Ore. The president shook hands with several col ored women during the reception in this city. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Hioillifoin the olToto oust lias made Poffof and Simpson conservative , but the 800 jayhawkers who Imyo not tasted its swoota nro iadic.il us over. This is why the senator and congiossmnn wore unnblo to Btoor their supporters away from the third party rack at the prelim inary caucus ut Cincinnati. Tun Kansas City limes says : "Monu ments nro jot unbuilt whoso enduring marblolstocarry down the story that America honors hernroatdoad. Ono of them belongs to the memory of .TofToi-son Davis. " Poor old Missouri. A senti ment like this would hardly bo uttered elsewhere north of the parallel of Charleston , S. C. geography of ether days is valueless - loss now , as is shown by the authentic statement of General Osborn of Argon- line Republic , who sajs Patagonia is ono of the richest of South American countries. Our childhood books des cribed this southern peninsula of South America as a , forbiddlnpr , worthless waste inhabited by the most degraded and ferocious of savages. Tun Shoody trial affords another striking oxmnplo of the utter worthlessness - ness of export medical testimony. Thtoo physicians have boon examined ; ono favored the defense In his scientific exposition of the conditions discovered by nn autopsy ; another proved conclu sively the presence of poison and the thinl was so confused and uncertain in his statements as to bo uiluolcss to either side. A riNEii appearing body of mon than the State Business Men's association in session in this city is seldom If o\or seen. They nro intelligent , enterprising , earnest nnd prosperous , if those charac teristics can bo indicated by countenance , eye , manner und habit. It is hoped Omaha nnd Omaha , people nro limiting ns ngrooablonn inipiossion upon the vis itors as they have made upon us , nnd that ontortainorfl and ontoitainod will bo equally gratified with the results of the con\ontlon. ACCOHUINO to the statements rondo by the ntnto relief commission there has boon a great do.il of the woist phase of human nature presented to that organ ization by shameless Imlhliluals who protondcd to bo suffering , but uhnm In vestigations proved to bo nbovo wnnt. Charity Is frequently the victim of Im position , but it is Hiirprising to learn of the greed ami dishonesty of f > omo of the cltiyonsof the Iron tier in connection with the distilbutlon of relief. IX Tin : opinion of ono of the leading- bankers of Horlin , llussla cannot think of war for nt least throe years. It seems that she ia upon the point of changing her nr maniont , luu ing ndoutod n now i-iflo , nnd it will tnko three yonry to aim her troops with the now weapons. Yet nobody scorns ublo to explain satis factorily why it is that the Kusslnn gov- ornniont is calling in nnd honiding gold. True it hns sonio loans to rop.vy , but these arc not of such an amount as to necessitate the policy which Russia hits recently boon pursuing regarding- her financial nffaim. The Gormm banker imiyjinvohnd information justifying hib opinion , but If .Russia continues much longer the hoarding of gold tlio only satisfactory Inference will bo thut she is preparing for war. not JO If O.V THE COLOXELS. is nbout to enter pen nn ncrl- inonloustomporAnco | campaign. A move- monl is well under way for the roponl of the prohibitory law in thnt state , nnd tlio next fl\o months promise to bo Inex pressibly hot nnd interesting on both sides. The election of Governor Holes on the democratic ticket in 1880 was notably duo to the outspoken opposition of dotrocracy to the prohibitory laws. This sentiment has steadily boon gain ing force by reason of the utter falluro of prohibitory statutes to extirpate the liquor trnmc , while the cost of prose cuting violators of the law hnvo as sumed enormous proportions. In the coming campaign the republicans will endeavor to unload prohibition and re mand the Isnio of prohibition or high license to tbo next legislature. The prohibitionists arc , however , dotof- mlnod to tostst the proposed change to the bitter and. The Now York ref , nn nblo but wholly conscienceless sheet , proposes to nmnngo the campaign from Its Now York ofllco , It insists upon taking charge of the light in all its details and Is now obtaining lists of voters who are to bo furnished with copies of the nowa- paper. The campaign of oratory which resulted so disvstrously in Nobr.iskn does not meet the approval of the Voice , It insists that the various temperance organizations shall put their money Into lltoiaturo instead of wind and that the grand army of male and female colonels bo kept out of tlio ( told. The long Imlrod mon nnd the short haired women who made the welkin ring from Koya Paha to Okoto in Ne braska during the Into raotuorablo cam paign will probibly resent this slight upon their presence and powers as an assault upon their pocket books They cannot afford to lopudlnto the prohibi tion nowsbapor , however , and as its edi tor proposes to make all thoio Is In the Iowa campaign , they will probably glvo their overworked jaws a rest and con- line their ollorts to the less remunera tive , but tolerably satisfactory task of organizing temperance societies in states where the Issue is less important , while the Volvo hires its own workers and conducts the light among the Ilawkoycs. _ PRKKY WKK AND I'OUXD The marvelous growth of Omaha dates back only ton voars. It received its impetus in 1831 with the establish ment of atorworks , which was followed by the era of paving nnd the construc tion of a system of sowers. The army of working-men employed on public works became the vitalizing force that made business in every department ac tive and beenmo a powerful Incentive for the investment of capital by monojcd men at homo and abroad. The depression that our merchants and mechanics are now suffering1 from is not so much caused by the dend c.xlm in real estate speculation as it Is by the suspension of employment on public works , which if con tinued for another joar will force hun dreds of thrifty mechanics to seek homos olsowhoro. The question is can Omaha afford to pursue a penny vise and pound foolish policy by putting oil the proposed bond election nnd postponing needed public improvements which would give employ ment to thousands of laboring mon nnd put money in circulation nt a time of stagnation brought about by last year's crop failure nnd other causes ? Every intelligent person must roallzo that such a policy Is suicidal. In the face of it , all the attempts to icvivo business activity and n demand for realty will prove futile , nnd the onoigy nnd money expended will bo worse than wasted. The idea that the expense of a special election can bo sa\od by waiting until the general November election is fallacious. No bond proposition , how- aver popular , will receive two-thirds of all the votes cast at ft general oloction. A very Inrgo poicontugo of voters are not interested in such questions and will not vote on them. A special election would have to bo called Inter on In any event andfa special election will cost just ns much next winter as it will this summer. To defer this election on the ground of economy will , in our opinion , prove very short-sighted. TUB PRESinENl'S OUAUA Sl'EKCll , The speech inndo by Pi osidont Harri son in Omaha has elicited raoro com- mout than any ether ho made on his trip , for the reason that it contained more politics than any othor. Some of the questions of public policy referred to hero had not boon spoken of else where , but it would'soom that the presi dent thought this to be the point nt which ho should drop generalities and glvo the countrv some Information as to the principles and policies thnt will dominate his administration. President Harrison is fully committed to the policy of extending the country's markets , but ho evidently believes the time will come when wo shall have no need of foreign markets for our agricul tural products , the homo demand will become largo enough to consume all thnt our farmers can produce. This is moro than probable , and indeed , if some statisticians are to bo bollovod , the time for this is not very roinoto. Wo shall , however , doubtless continue to pio- duce in excess of the needs of the country for nt least another gonoin- tion , so thnt the effort to enlarge our markets is wise and timely. Once secured - cured , these markets will continue to take our manufactures when wo shall no longer need them for our agricul tural products. The present adminis tration can bo depended on to go stead ily forward in the work of extending our foreign commerce. President Harrlbon strongly bollovos in the policy of rn-ostnblibhing nn American merchant innrlno. lie thinks it would bo nn advantage to all interests , to these in the west not loss than to these in the east , * If every thing tlmt wo produce and manufacture could bo transported to the markets of the world In Amorleanshlp * . Ho patil- otlonlly desires to see the time when the stnrs nnd stripes will bo scon on every sea nnd in every foreign commercial port. Doubtless every American citizen would be gratified if this were now the case , but while It will undoubtedly come the consummation Is still remote. The proBont Administration can dooomothlng toward it by encouraging tlio construc tion of steamship lines under the law of the last congress pro viding for postal subsidy , nnd it Is prob able that before Its torin oxplroa It will have entered into arrangements which will insure the establishment of n num ber of now steamship llnoa nnd the en largement of existing linos. If this shall bo done it will boa very decided stop forward. But nothing"is to bo ex pected from the noxtcongress for promoting meting the establishment of a merchant marine. President Hnrrlson has firmly settled views regarding the cur rency , nnd the country may depend - pond upon him to put n check upon any nnd all schemes which might doprcclato tlio viluo of any p-irt of the cut ronoy and thereby dornngo all values. "Ihnvonn idea , " said the piosldont In his Omaha speech , "thnt every dollar vvo Issue should bo as good as any dollar wo Issuo. No ono so much as the labor ing man and farmer requires n full vnluo dollar of permanent value the yonr around. " The next house of representatives is expected to bo prolific in extraordinary financial schemes , but the country need fool no apprehension while President Ilnrrison continues to hold the views regarding the currency ho has thus far oxptossod. A MUCH -lliUSED Blood has boon shed in ( ho capital of Sorvla in defense of ox-Quoon Natalie. The return of this much nbusod worn in toUelgrado gave opportunity for an other manifestation of the relentless spirit thnt lias pursued her for the last two years , but it transpires that she Is not friendless in the city vrhuio she once received the honors and the homage p.ild to royalty. Wliilo the authorities were endeavoring to drive her out of the country the students milled to her defense , but the scheme of the regents was finally carried out. The dis patches report soilous conlllets as hav ing occurred at Belgrade , and the au thorities would have had great difficulty in expelling Natnlio If she had not her self consented to Icuvo. Natalie is the victim of political scheming , and the treatment she hns re ceived illustrates to what extent of meanness Curoponn royalty can crete at tain its ends. Ilor marriage to Prince Milan was effected for a political pur pose , and it was a similar mo tive that divorced hor. Not content with stripping her of tlio cheap royalty which was vonforrect upon her when she became the v\lfo Milan and ho was made a king , nnd taking- her boy avuiy from her , Natalie was driven from pillar to post and her character as persed ttuoughout Europe. She could not have retired from the public view hnd she desired to , because her enemies were determined to hound her in every possible way. Her llfo was threatened and fbr a long titno was in constant dan ger. The contemptible follow who was her husband spared no oltort to incite public feeling against the unfortunate woman , but with little ef fect. It v\ould \ undoubtedly have boon the part of wisdom for Nnlalio to have kept out of Servia , because she ought to have known that her presence theio would make trouble , but oven in this matter she imy bo ngain acting the part of a political puppet. She must now bo convinced that it will bo impos sible for her to live in Sorvla , nnd doubt- le&s she hns made her last visit to that countrv. Tin : boaid of education has dropped the bars of the entrance into the public schools low enough to lot Incompetents leap ever them , by passing a icbolution allowing applicants for certificates wlio fail to secure the requisite standing a second trial upon these brunches In which they fail. The percentage on all but ono , two or thtoo branches may bo barely high enough to pass muster ; that in the lotnalnlng branches away below the requirements. Under this now rule the applicant Is oxeusod ho in ox- nmlnatton upon all branches in which the required proficiency has boon nhovvn and is examined only upon these in which she failed on the preceding occa sion. A bright woman will have no diflloulty in cramming her head full of a single branch and in passing the ex amination upon it at the bocond trial , while if the whole course were to bo the test of proficiency she might fall. The resolution may help some worthy appli cant , but It will also open the door to an abuse which should bo avoided. Tiinnn may bo some truth in the com plaint of Sidewalk Inspector Bormlng- ham as regards his tioatmont by the board of public works. lint the tax- pajors will prefer to side with the board rather than the inspector for manifest reasons , In the llr&t plnco there has boon gross negligence nnd favoritism shown in the supervision of hiduvvalka In the next place there has boon no dis position shown to compel the contractors to furnish planks and ether materials of the dimensions loquircd by oidinnnco. This may bo puioly a matter of neglect or favoritism , but It smnoKs too much of jobbery. So long as the boird of public works simply insists that the inspector shall do his duty without fear or favor , public sentiment will bo on their sldo. If they show a disposition to persecute him or needlessly interfere with him when ho is doing his duty , ho will have the sympathy of the people.

Tl a suggestion thnt ho Is entertaining n ucslgn of this sort comes in the form of ai editorial In his homo organ which cites a number of pieced- onts in the history cff Now York for n longer service In the olllco of governor than two toimg. ' among thorn that of George GllntonWlid WHS elected seven times. Governor Hill does not want to give up his dircc ( management of the political imiohino , and it will not bo at all surprising If "hi'allows ' his name to bo presented for ronominatlon. If ho wants It and gets' jllf perhaps it will bo a good thing for tharepublicans , for under all the conditions ; it would scorn that Hill could not command the strength of his . party. < _ _ _ _ Ir is less than alt weeks until July 1.

Mr. Llnsoy stntod the particulars of tbo crime nnd the triut , the governor by skillful questioning bringing out all tbo circumstan ces In detail. David Uogors and Hois Moore occupied adjoining farms In Pawnco county. Itoircrs was an elderly mnn uho had lived In the county for more than thirty jours. Ho v\ns nn honest , peacoiblo man who com manded universal esteem. Mooio was n joung man of powerful physique , of violent temper anil quarrolsomodlsposltlon. During tno year succeeding the shooting the county attorney board no person speak well of him , nnd It was believed that Moore had had trou ble with o\ \ cry landlord of Ills for vonrs past. Rogers took pride In bis stock and kept up their strain. Moore was careless la this i ca pec t and also aljovvud his hogs to mti over upon Ropers' farm , About a year ngo Kogen lookup ono of the trespassing pork ers , but during his absence Moore came and cot it. This resulted In words nnd Mooio threatened to harm the old man Two days later Kojrcrs took up another stray hog nnd this rojultod in a quarrel. Hogors nut a re volver in his pocket and lott the house to meat Mooro. During tbo dispute lie lived flvo shots , ono ball striking Moore In the right arm , disabling It. To show the differ ence In the physical strength of the two niun. it was stated thnt Moore , having use of only ouo arm. then took the revolver nvvav fiom Rogers. Tlio old gentleman promotl y delivered himself to the shoilif and gnvo bill. Aftcrwnids Moore offurod to accent SJOO nnd leave the country , and Rogers' friends offered to rniso the money for him , but ho declined. Ho ucnt on the stimd himself nnd frankly told the story of the encounter. The county attorney ven tured the opinion that but for his ovvn ad missions ho uould bnvo been acquitted. .Honors know Moore to bo n stronger man , nnd ho merely shot nt first to disable bis an tagonist. It was shown that Rogers was an export with the revolver. In ringing his hogs bo bored the hole in their snouU bv Hi luff a pistol ball through them Ho was only live or six foot liom Jlooro and could have killed him easily If that hud boon his intention. Tbo jury found him guilty of as sault vith Intent to do creat bodily harm , and the Judge sontcuccd him to the peniten tiary for ono ycir , the minimum pumlty.

Perhaps the most notable contribution to all thu literature apropos the trial of Prof. Bnpgs for heiosy before the Now York piesbytory Is an article by Kev.

Dr. ScbiilT dcliiics in the most trenchant - chant laiiguairo the apparent inconsistency of the Now York prcsoylory in practically a vow I n if eighteen months ngo the same principle - ciplo for which Dr. llrisffs , it declares , must now stand trial. Ho declares that the Amoiican Piusbvtorian church has her self materially changed the West minster confession a hundred > eurs ago , and that the spirit of revision per vades the whole Christian world. Tin illy ho assorts that , as tbo theory of verbal inspira tion of the scriptures is not in the Westmin ster confession of faith , itinnuot bodoinanded from any Piosbvtiuian minister 01 piofessor and waras churchmen that imy attempt by the general assembly to enforce an extra scriptural and extra confessional theory upon the church will create a spilt worse than that of 1K37. Dr. Schnft savs : "There nro chiefly three theories of inspiration , the verbal or literal , the plenary nad tlio dviinmic. The lost two are leasonnblo nnd tenable. The llrst. Is nn- possible In tlio present state of exegesis and not held by any commentator of note. The verbal or meclnnlcil theory Identifies Inspiration with dictntlen and makes the sacied writers mote clerks or penmen of tlio Holy Ghost This theory was elaborated by Lutheran and Cnlvanlstlu divines of tlio seventeenth century in controversy with the Hoinun Cnttiollo church , who in sisted upon nn Infallible church as necessary to guide men in the way of salvation.
