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.

Yet nobody scorns ublo to explain satis

True it hns sonio loans to rop.vy , but
these arc not of such an amount as to

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.

from Judge Brody , who tried the caso.
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.
Rogers' father'vus a member of the terri
torial coundl of Nobr.iski , and tbo fumilv
has always stood high in Pnwneu county. Ho
lias an Imbecile son of twenty whom no ono
else scorns able to control. There aio two
little diURhtors whoso mind's are not light ,
and their mother \vas Insane. The
iniiiily are In straightened citcura-
stances ntid living under dinouraging con-

Some i oar 3 ago he v\ out on tha bond of a
coatrnctor who undcitook to build nn 318,000
theater nt Pawnee City , The builder took
the ] ob too chetp nnd loft the country. The
houlsman LOuldbnva taken advantage of a
cbanpo In the plans to escape his liability ,
but from puio honesty ho stood by his bond
It test him S\000 and ruined him. These nud
other points \voie related nt length to show
thoslmplo , rugged integrity of tbo man and
explain the remarkable ostooinln v\hiuh ho Is
held in Pa vvncocountynnd the listeners wcro
visibly nucited.
I.inicl Freeman of Beatrice , tbo first
homesteader in the United States , happened
to bo one of n number of spectators prosoii t.
Ila asked permission to say n few words
nud stated ho had a talk with
Judge ) Brody n few days ago
about this very caso. The Judqo said ho was
batistlol that Kogers , after the one , shot
that disabled Moore , simply emptied his re
volver for fear the jounger nnd stiongor
man might take it from him and use it. Com
ing fiom tbo judge who passed sentence this
opinion made a strong Impression.
Sheriff Stiunk related how , in traveling
over the county In his olllcinl business , ho
was besieged by people who wanted to sipn
n petition for" the pardon of Hogors , Ho
closed vith \ the remark :
"NothiiiB would please mo bettor than to
take a pardon to him. "
"Well , you shall have it , " said Governor
Tnayer.
The gentlemen from Pawnee jumped to
their foot , nmdo a rush for the governor ,
grasped both hands , poured nut a flood of
grateful thanks and all but embraced him ,
while the spectators travo a burst of ap
plause.
Tom Cook was directed to got out the par
don blank , nnd the visitors loft for dinner , a
jolly , happy crowd.
Rogers hud not been sent to Uu peniten
tiary , belnc kept at the umiity jail t vo 01
throe weeks until petitions could bo circu
lated on an appeal to the governor.

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. Philip
SchafT , which was published in the Now
York Iloiald last Sunday. Tr. ) Schnff w.is
the lirat nrcsidont of tbo American Soclotv
of Church History nnd author of n gioat
nuinborof uistoiioal and exegetical vvoiks.
As early ns 18Io ho was tiica for hotosy in
this country and acquitted. Ur. Schaft was
president of the American Hlblo liovlslan
committee , which was appointed in 1S71 nt

co-oppcrntkm and publication of tbo Anglo-

Catholics , Greeks and Protestants nt Bonn

tins aistiiifruisncu author and
theologian there Is none moro coin-
potent 111 tUs country , nt least ,
to express uu opinion as to the questions now
nt issue among Piosbvtcrians and coucoin-
Ing which Chrlstlun circles are dcoply Inter
ested. 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. A
uapur oiaclo was sot up aitaiaat the living
oiaclo In the Vatican '
Hut this theory was not hold by tbo ro-
fanners , who combined the greatest rever
ence for the word of God with very free
views on tlio loiter of the bible It has long
since boi > ii discarded as u theological llciion.
