NEW YORK'S commercial Importance
has never boon so fully realized or
recognized abroad us within the past
few months. Financial and political
revolutions in South America , bank
ruptcies in Berlin , loss of credit in St.
Petersburg , uncertainty in Spain and
feverish an.xloty in Paris have combined
to frighten London , until English capi
talists turn perforce of circumstances to
Now York as the least variable of
financial magnets. American securi
ties alone offer safe Investment nnd
American commercial conditions
promise brighter things for the future
than these prevailing elsewhere in
the world. If 1892 is not a year of
marvelous commercial activity and por-
x > nal prosperity , the posslmiNta are the
mly people entitled to confidence.

It Is conceded by all intelligent nnd
discriminating newspaper readers that
the cable service organized by Mr.
JnmcH Gordon Bennett , of the Now York
7/er / ( / , Is Incomparably superior to all
others. The first comprehensive forlogn
news service established , it has knpt in
advance of all subsequent attempts by
others to cover and glean the
broad field of Kuroponn intelli
gence. The creation of such a Bor-
vice , if not exactly a stroke of journal
istic genius , was at any rate'an ovldenco
of extraordinary enterprise , and in this
respect altogether characteristic of tlio
great journal which furnished the first
example of what a newspaper should bo.
What the Jlcrald has done for several
years in supplying the host , most com
plete and most trustworthy Huropoan
news bus boon repented in the full
ness and accuracy of its re
cent South American news ser
vice. When the Chilian revolution
bucamo a matter of world-wide interest
and iifcHtimed peculiar imnortanco to the
American people , the Now York JTcruld
assumed the expensive and difficult task
of informing the world dally of what was
going on in Chill , and the great success
of UH enterprise is familiar to all ob
servant newspaper readers. It can bo
rolled upon to maintain its supremacy
in this Held , toward which the interest
of all enlightened peoples , and partic
ularly of tlio American people , is being
directed more than ever before.
There are but six papers in the United
States , besides the Now York 7/miM ,
that get simultaneously with that jour
nal tlio news furnished by the Bennett
cable service , all of which is copy
righted. Ono of these papers is Tim
OJIAIIA DAILY BKK , which was also ono
of the first to purchase the right
to this Horvlco. ' The ether papers
sharing it are the Cincinnati
Comnicrcial'Gazettc , the Chicago Tribune ,
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat , the Cleve
land Lender , and the San Francisco
Chronicle , It will thus bo soon that
TIIK UKK is the only newspaper between
Chicago and San Francisco that is re
ceiving this superior and highly valua
ble service , the merits of which our
readers have had an excellent opportun
ity to discover , by comparison with ether
papers in our territory slnco affairs in
South America have assumed such ex
traordinary interest and importance.
The daily dispatches from that quarter
of tbo world , in the political and com
mercial affairs of which the people of
the United States arc moro acutely in
terested than over before , huvo reported
with great completeness and remarkable -
markablo accuracy what was Iran-
sii"ing there , in many cases
anticipating the information convoyed
to the government by its diplomatic
representatives. Ttio indications are
that events in the southern half of our
hemisphere will continue for some time
to possess greater interest for the Amer
ican people than these of any other
part of the world. It is impossible
to say what may bo the ultimate
consequences of tbo revolution in
Brazil , in its possible bearing upon the
relations of the United States with Eu
ropean powers , as well as in the effect
it may have on.our reciprocity arrange
ment with that -country , but in any
event the progress of the movement will
bo watched by intelligent Americans
with eager interest and solicitude. With
regard toother SouthAmorican countries
the closer commercial relations which
the United States is seeking to estab
lish with them renders interesting all
information regarding their ulTairs.
The arrangamont ot Tina BKE with
the Now York Jlentld enables it to pub
lish simultaneously with that paper all
foreign news supplied by the Bennett
cable service , and the almost unlimited
resources and facilities of that service
afford ample assurance that nothing
of interest transpiring anywhere within
the accessible world will escape Its at
tention. This enterprise costs a great
deal of money. News by cable is ex
pensive. But In order to make n mod
ern newspaper of tbo highest standard
cost is the last thing to bo considered ,
and THE I3iu aims to bo such u news
paper. - _ _ _ _ _ _ _

It was with some surprise that the
country rocolvod the intelligence , con
voyed by the assistant attorney general ,
that a treaty had boon negotiated with
Great Britain for the arbitration of the
Boring sea dispute. It was thus made
apparent that in the absence , of Scoro-
tary Blalno the president was giving at
tention to this subject , with the result
that an arrungo/nont has boon effected
which It la understood only awaits the
ratification of tlio sonato.
Of course nothing has been made
known as to the terms of this treaty , or
what concessions have been made upon
both sides , and in the absence' of such
information any opinion as to the result
of the negotiations would bo valueless ,
Thi ) Issues Involved In the con
troversy , which have boon made
familiar from the correspondence
between the governments of Great Brit
ain and the United States , are of that
nature that a decision by an intornu-
tlonal tribunal may bo very materially
influenced by the form of their presen
tation. The case of either country
might bo so presented as to almost Ins -
s uro a ticolslon for that country. As all
who have any knowledge of this matter
are aware , Great Britain for a
long tlmo Invited arbitration on
the ono issue involved In the solzuro
of British vosbulrf on the high seas. The
oiTort of our government , under the
present administration , has boon to se
cure a negotiation on the the broad
right of this country to protect Its prop *
orty In goals , The prolonged discussion
resulted In ronching a dellnlto issue
agreed to by both governments , and
that having boon accomplished it was
comparatively easy to come to an agree
ment on an arbitration troaty.
It will bo fortunate If the senate shal 1
find no valid reason for refusing to ratify
the result of the negotiations , HO that
without further delay than is abso
lutely necessary this long pending con
troversy may bo submitted to arbitra
tion and a settlement reached that will
remove all cause for future misunder
standing. So long as the issue remains
open there will bo constant danger of
irritating incidents prejudicial to the
friendly relations between Groixt Brit
ain nnd the United States , whllo the
protection that ought to bo given the
seal fisheries cannot bo made so com
plete ns is desirable. This controversy
ought to bo disposed of before the arri
val of the next sealing season.

According to Count Kalnoky , the Aus
trian minister of foreign affairs , there is
nothing whatever threatening the peace
of Htifopo. All the events which others
have regarded.as presaging a conflict
not very remote are dismissed by Kal
noky ns having no such character or
bearing. The visit ol the French licet
to Cranstadt , the interview between
the Russian minister of foreign
affairs and the Italian premier , oven the
movement of Russian troops on the Aus
trian frontier , are circumstances that in
the opinion of the Austrian minister of
foreign affairs furnish no reason for ap
prehending a disturbance of European
peace. On the contrary ho regards the
outlook ns quite peaceful , In evidence of
which ho cites the fact that ho did not
ask as largo credits for the purpose of
armament as he would have done had ho
feared war.
Count Kalnoky Is a statesman whoso
views regarding the European situation
are entitled to respectful consideration ,
but they are not shared by all Intelli
gent and careful observers of events. If
it bo true , as has boon reported and is
said to bo known at tbo Ber
lin war office , that 00 per cent
of the effective strongtli of the
Russian army is inusod on the
frontiers of Austria , ' Germany and
Roumunia and that only enough troops
have boon loft in the east to prevent
savage incursions and to preserve order
among the people , it is difficult to be
lieve that such action on the part of
Russia is intended to perpetuate peace.
It is stated that over 000,030 men are in
position between Odessa , the Prutto , and
Warsaw and if the massing of this force
in that quarter does not moan war the
motive of tlio Russian government in
sending them there is incomprehensi
ble. Was there no significance in the
studied evasion of the Gorman emperor
by the czar when the latter recently
passed through Germany ? Certainly it
seems reasonable to suppose that had
the czar entertained only peaceful in
tentions , and expected or desired a con
tinuance of peace , ho would have taken
so favorable an opportunity to reassure
Europe by paying bis respects to the
Gorman emperor.
There is doubtless very little danger
of war in Europe before next spring , and
in the meanwhile circumstances may
arise to still further postpone a conllict-
but despite the confident expressions of
Count Kalnoky the prevailing conditions
'are strongly suggestive of a probable ap
peal to arms by the nations confronting
each ether within tlio next year.

Defeated in its efforts to palm off a
bogus claim of local circulation on the
police commission , the } \rorhl-Ilemld \
crows with great gusto over the decision
rendered by Judge Doano in the South
Omaha liquor cases' .
Its attempt to make people believe that
THK BISK was trying to blackmail the
liquor dealers is on a par with all
the arrant knavery and hypocrisy that
has characterized its course on every
ether occasion. The editor of that shoot
was anxious for Judge Doano to affirm
the position of TIIK BEE and would have
made jast as desperate nn effort to se
cure tlio publication o' notices for two
consecutive weeks na ho made last
spring for the South Omuhn'notices
after his claim had been rejected by the
Omaha police board.
Now as to the decision. Ton years
ago , when the Slocumb law first wont
into effect , THE BEE Insisted that the
plain intent of tbo law was the widest
publicity of the application for license
during a period of two full weeks. In
this claim THE BEE was fortified by a
written opinion sustaining its position
from ono of tlio ablest attorneys at tlio
Omaha bar no loss a person than tlio
Hon. George W. Doano. Thisopinion was
not concurred in by the city attorney ,
whoso versions of the Slooumb law had
as many holes as Harry Deuol's skim
mer , and were reversed by tbo supreme
court on every point. In view of the
fact that the validity" the whole
Slocumb act was being contested at that
time in the courts , and THE BEE'S
rondorlcss competitors raised the same
howl about bleeding the liquor dealers
as is now raised by the Double-Kmlev ,
THE BEE aid not persist in its claim and
simply inserted the notices of applica
tion once each weok.
Lawyer Donne's conclusions in 1881 as
regards the intent of the Slocumb law
are now decided to bo all wrong by
Judge Doano , but THE BEE does not
propose to rest the case there. Within
a few months we shall ascertain through
the supreme court whether Lawyer
Doano was right in 1881 or whether
Judge Doano interprets the law cor
rectly in 1801.

An impostor ought to bo endowed with
a good memory. But our contemporary
lacks that essential quality. lie forgets
his disreputable record on the city hall
and postolllco location. He lays great
stress on the fact that out of our 112,000
votes only 2-lUO voted against the
library building bonds.
In 1881 the city hall wns located on
the corner of Eighteenth nnd Farimm ,
with only thtrty-sovon votes against.
The ground belonged to the city and
was acquired for a oily hall lot.
It was the most sightly spot
in the city and afforded a
foundation aa solid us the eter
nal rocks. Moreover , the location
was In close pro.ximlty to the court house
and therefore very convenient for Inter
change of business between city and
county officials.
In the face of this the half-baked edi

layed the building throe yo : : lfliwl entailed -

TIIK latest nilvlccs from Ohio indicate
that Senator Sherman will bo his own
successor in tlio United Stn'os sonato.
A canvass of therepublicans * elected to
the legislature nppoirs to show a safe
majority In favor of Mr. Sherman , and
if such is the caBo that majority will bo
far moro lllcbly to grow than to
decrease bot\voon , now and the
time of election. The republicans
of Ohio hivvjf ) learned that the
party throughout the country very
earnestly desires to see Mr. Sherman
continued in the senate , and they will
not bo Insensible or indifferent to this
universal desire. There is no wish
anywhere among republicans to
depreciate Mr. Forakor. Ills ability
and hts services are recognized and cor
dially acknowledged. But the feeling
Is that the retirement of Senator
Sherman from public lifo at this tlmo
would bo a national misfortune , and
hence the appeal from all quarters to
the republicans of Ohio to keep him in
the senate , where his services have been
of immeasurable value to the nation ,
and whore his wisdom and experience
will still bo needed. It is gratifying to
believe that the appeal will bo heeded.
COUOMKU IlAUICIOAN has been lllOX-
cusably negligent , but perhaps the most
aggravated case of malfeasance is found
in the case of Samuel T. Robinson. This
man died early in September but the
verdict of the coroner's jury has not yet
boon returned. Meantime the family ot
the dead man Is in almost destitute cir
cumstances and the insurance upon his
lifo cannot bo paid pending tlio action of
tlio coroner.
SOME idea of the rapid growth and
steady prosperity of South Omaha
may bo obtained from the information
that fifteen now business houses have
been erected along Twenty-fourth street
within a month.
IF THE Sixteenth street viaduct is
unsafe lot the fact bo made known. If
not , some official doclitt\vtion upon the
subject should bo made , to relieve the
public from doubt as to its safety.

LINCOI.V , Nob. , Nov. 15. | Spocinl to TUB
BBS. | "Who shot Uhm-llo Crow ? " is tlio
question generally debated ill Lincoln today ,
Since the nlTalr Crow hits persistently nf-
llrr.icd that tlio woman , Klodn Crow , shot
him , but It wns not until noon today tlmt her
tongue wns unloosed. At that hour word
was brouubt to her that ho was slowly dy
ing , and had asked to see hor. She was
taken to his rosldcncc In n haclc. nnd on her
way thlthor slio told her story to .Tailor
Klsor. SUe sulu that Crow had coino homo
tnoro than half drunk , nnd a quarrel ensued
botwcon them. That ho suddenly pulled out
his revolver , a 33-cnlibro Smith & Wesson ,
and llrod ut her. She had anticipated the
inovomont and hud roauhod the
door when the Uullot How past her
head nnd lodged tu the Jamb. She
screamed lustily , and Cnurloy , supnojlng
that ho had killed her , turned the pistol on
himself ,
L.V. . Ulllingsloy , nn attorney and frlond
of Crow , announces his belief In the woman's
story , nud states that within the past two
months Crow bin several times spokoir of
sulcido In his serious moods. The story of
the woman Is partially borna out by the fact
that It Is Uiftlcult to conceive how she could
have stood In such n position as to have 1'iroa
ono shot Into the door and the other into
Crow , If the blood marks on the floor Indl-
ciito whcro ho stood when struck.
On the other hand , the wounded man 1ms
repeatedly told his story to the
watchers by the dcdslcio. Ills statement -
mont Is the snnio as that norutoforo
published , with the execution that ho now
states It was tlio first bullet that struck him.
Ho fell to the Hoot- and an Instant afterward
started for tlio door leading Into tlio hall
way. That wlulo groping for the knob in
the scml-twlllght she snot at him ngaln , the
bullot. entering the woodwork. Tlio blood
stained linger marks on the whlto wall near
the door see in uiuto testimonials of the truth
of that portion of his story.
When M. C. McWilllains , who rooms dU
rootly above , arrived on the scene Crow was
lying unconscious midway between the door
and vho pool of blood , tbo spot where the
wounded man claims ho was Hrst struck.
After regaining consciousness his Hrst words
were to accuse hero ! the crime , to which she
tearfully responded , "Oh , Charley , how
could you say sol" Today when she was
brought Into the room where Crow was lying
propped up with pillows , she made n rush for
his bedside , anil with tears welling from her
eyes she took his Head in both her hands
and , kissing him tenderly , exclaimed : " 1
forgive you , dear ; toll tlicm , tell them the
truth ! "
Uy that ttmo. however , ho was bovond
hearing or speech and no recognition of her
or her words was vouchsafed. She tearfully
pleaded with him to "tell them nil , " but was
iinally led sobbing from the room.
In probing for the bullet the physicians
pulled put small fragments of woolen cloth ,
u'ht ! h. It was snhannnnntlv found , were
shot from the In pel of the coat Crow
was wearing ut the time. This Is
doomed conclusive evidence that Crow , In
the excitement of the moment , attempted to
shield himself from the bullet by drawing
the lapel of the coat over his face , as the or
dinary position of that portion of the .gar
ment marked by the bullet is on the loft
broast. ,
This afternoon the doctors gave up all
ho no , and say that no \ \ 111 not live through
the night. Tbo bullet is believed to have
lodged against the spinal column , and his
right side Is already paralyzed.
At 0 o'clock Crow was yet nlivo nnd will
live until morning. At any rate he has lost
the power of spocoh , but tonight was able to
understand when spoken to but could answer
only by making signs with his loft hand.
Crow was a queer compound of stupidity
and cunning , Ignorance a'nd Intelligence. Ho
came hero seven years ago fiom Bueyrus ,
O. . has been successively a hotel
porter , n haukdnver and a private
detective. Ho has never been known to
dotoet anytuing or anyone , however , ut least
the public bus never hoard of his catching
iuiy notorious criminal. Ho was compelled
to leave Salt Lake , where ho was a temporary
ary sojourner some years ago , because of his
alliance with the Mormon party in the pend
ing election as u boodlar and coloni/.ar of
votes. Hero ho had an unsavory reputation
as a political worker nnd iigont of boodlors ,
as a jury-JIxor nnd us a blackmailer. The
adherents of the sulcido theory are few
among those who know the man well. Ho
was always liberally supplied with money ,
but an examination' nls effects showed
only a bank balance of $ .YT5.
ALMOST A MUllIIRIt.
Prompt action by the police this afternoon
prevented another murder in Lincoln. Old
i'om Lynch and his gray haired wit'o Mary
are a whisky-sodden couple whoso frequent
brawls have mudo thorn familiar llguros In
liolico court. Today , while cnuod with
liquor , the old mini attacked nls wife with a
churn dasher. The blow caught boron the
right arm , cutting'a long , deep gash. She
retaliated with a blow on his head from a
poker , stunning the old man for n moment.
He grappled with her and succeeded In
throwing her out of doors onto the banks of
Salt crook , into the shallow waters of whicn
ho slowly rolled. When the police arrived
old Tom had secured n loaded revolver and
was staggering towards where tlio old
woman was painfully crawling up tlio
banks nourishing it In tho"air. Ho was dis
armed , and the old couple , both covered with
blood , was taken to the station and locked up.

O'lJryon , ono of the papal chnmberla.iis . ,
has arrived hero from Home , whence h
comes as the papal ropiwcntativn
to attend the Jubilee of Archbishop Kondrlck.
Concorntr.g t.ho pope's recent enejvlicui
letter AJijr. O'Hryou said : ' -Tho popn m lm
encyclical 1ms done nothing more than enforce -
force a principle contained In the coniumn l-
mout "Thou Shalt Not Stoal. " Private imn > -
orty In land has existed from all time. To
deny the assertion that the pope has no ritrit
to enforce that prlnclplo would bo to dt : .y
the actual facts of its existence. 1 thlnlt nu
self the Ideas of the socialists are rathvr
that some individuals possess too nmcli
property , and that it redistribution wnuKl
Ijonollt society , and in that they are ricln
It Is Impossi Mo to suppose ncondii ion of things
whcro the world would have so chant-cil J
that all mon would glvo up their rights. Hut |
if .such u change did take plnco then , ot t
course , the pope would fall in with the views ,
of the new order. If by legislation a chntiuu .
could bo brought about which would give the
land to n greater number , then I think it
would bo very good. The church has always
boon democratic. She has taken the part of '
the pcoplo against their oppressors. "
Touching upon tno position of the pope , ho |
salil : "Tuo world looks opan it as unU'iia t
bio. Ho will not leave Homo unless compelled - I
polled to. As to whether ho can bn com
pelled to or not , that is 'ii matter which only
the future can reveal. The Jews nnd the
Free Masons are the backbone of the rovolu
tlon , amf It is by them that tuo present rulers
have boon pitchforked Into power. Hut the
pope is immortal Lo rol est mart ; viv < < lu
roll Lee XIII may die ; another pope slinil
spring up to tnko his place , us they have for
! i,000 yours. "
"Is there any truth in the reported ap
pointment of a now American cardinal ? " the
ruvcrond prelate was asked. "Fivo o'clock " *
tea talk , " was the laconic reply. As for nn
American oven being elected pope , lin
scouted the idea. "Tho question of temporal
power , " ho said "is the cause of nearly all
the strained relations existing between the
Vatican and the Italian govern mont. It
would Increase the difllculty of the situation
to have a foreigner holding swnv ' over thn
Italian soil. Hut why discuss tho'eloctlon of
popes ? It , is the Holy Ghost nnd not the
oardinals who does the choosing and his
selection whether an American , n Gorman or
an Italian , will bo the proper ono for the
church. "

mid was driven off nftor n stubborn roMst-
anco on the part of the Mexican garrison
there. In the conflict ono Mexican oulcer
was killed and another woundeu. The lessen
on Garza's side Is not definitely Known.
The fact is evident that the insurgents
have been quietly increasing In force and
now have begun un active campaign. It is
