TOHUKMNGTON Castor Beems to have knocked the lion. C. D. Caspei out of the David City postolllco , but the people will not forgot Mr. Casper's valiant Horvices In bt-lialf of honest railroad legislation during the last session of the Htato legislature. Casper , as ho him self philosophically said when consider ing the frailty of political probabilities , "can bo heard in the future without a postofllee just as well us with a post- oillco. " TUB now British steamship Campania , undoubtedly the most powerful vessel over built , Is said to have shown a speed of twenty-eight miles an hour on her trial trip. She is nearly as largo as that famous failure , the Great Eastern , nnd has many times the driving power of the latter. But It Is by no means certain that she will bo faster or bettor in any way limn the steamships which the American.lino is preparing to build in this country , oven if she proves su perior to the Paris and the New York. TUB Washington Post sees a dangerous stop In the direction of paternalism by the establishment of state saloons in South Carolina. If the system Is to be come general it thinks it "will become necessary for us to change some popular impressions concerning the lines upon which this government is conducted. " It is to bo hoped that the Post's appre hensions will prove groundless. The movement doubtless results merely from n willingness on the part of the people that the executive may himself have the power to prevent the possibility of the reflection by a neighboring governor , in future , upon the hospitable opportunities of the stato. IT is gratifying to learn from the Wyoming newspapers that never In the history of the range business In that state have cattle come out of a winter in bettor condition than they do this Hprlng. Ono exchange says that reports from every section are the most encour aging and that "It is believed the approaching preaching season will witness a verita ble beef boon. " There Is plenty of feed , cattle are really fat and steer shipments will bo earlier than for many years. The sheep-shearing reason , too , is about to begin , and it Is confidently predicted that the aggregate clip of 1893 will bo the largest and finest over sent from Wyoming. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IT is now declared that Governor Bolos will decline a third nomination for governor of the Ilawkoye state oven If tendered him unanimously. This deter mination loaves woino of the democratic bosses between the devil and the deep Boa , as It wore. They have already de clared that ho is the only man iho demo crats can hope to elect governor , and that the strength of his inuiio is all that can pull through their legislative ticket. The situation leave th-in in a position that they must lind imbaa..ing , to say 'tho least. This , coupled with the fact that the national administration's aver sion to Iowa democrats in general becomes - comes more apparent dally , must render their existence a dreary monologue. Tun result of an Important mining suit that is now engaging the attention of the United States circuit court at Helena , Mont. , will bo watched for with Interest by all in any way engaged In mining operations. The case is that of the St. Louis Mining and Milling com pany against the Montana com pany , limited , nnd Involves over 81,000,000. The St. Louis company - u&torts that a largo amount ol valuable ore had boon taken from its ground by the latter corpor ation , by going outside of its own lines and working underground , and it wants to bo reimbursed therefor. For several weeks exports have boon making ex aminations of the workings of both com panies for the information of the court and the case will not be completed for a fortnight. Many of the ablest mining counsel in the northwest are engaged in thn case. KX-STATK OFFICERS O.V THMfi. The argument on the demurrer pre sented for ox-Treasurer Hill , which la to bo hoard before the supreme court today , will Involve questions of law nnd pre cedent that cannot fall lo attract wide spread attention among lawyers as well as th'j jMJOplo of Nebraska who are watching the Impeachment procecdlnge. Ordinarily Impeachments arc instituted to depose dishonest , unfaithful or In competent olllclals. There are , however - over , flagrant cases of misdemeanor which call for exemplary punishment. In such Instances Impeachment courts are empowered to inllict the highest political penalty which the law allows , namely disqualification from ever holdIng - Ing any ollico of honor , profit or trust. The attorneys on behalf of ox-Treas urer Hill and ox-Auditor Honton deny jurisdiction of the legislature and supreme premo court in their cases on the ground that the misdemeanors with which they are charged were committed during their olllcial terms and the expiration of their terms places thorn beyond the lialo of a court of Impeachment. Wliilc the constitution of Nebraska docs noV expressly designate ! ex-stato ollU-lals as subject to impeachment the statutes of Nebraska , enacted soon after the adoption of our constitution , do. The language of the statute is very explicit. It reads as follows : "An impeachment of any state ollli-or shall be tried , not withstanding such ollleor may have re signed his olllco or his term of oflleo has expired. " Manifestly the lawmakers intended to reach olTcndcrs who had committed flagrant misdemeanors such as had been perpetrated by the old state house olll clals in connivance with Moshcr , Dorgan and that ilk of plunderers. It may have be-on unwifo to put the state to the ex pense and trouble of impeaching bad men out of oflleo , but the moral effect of such a proceeding doubtless will bo salutary. It will .serve as a per petual warning to mon who become cus todians of our state funds and state in stitutions that they will not got beyond the palo of political degradation when they pass out of olllcc. Henry Ward Hoecher once said that he seldom pun ished his children , but when ho did ad minister punishment ho wanted to make it a memorial day. This should bo true with the stato. These impeachments are not an everyday all'air , but when they arc resorted to the state should make them a terror to cvil-doeis. A XTEKKUTYl'KU DKFKNHR. The response of the Impeached state olHcerd to the arraignment embodied in the articles of impeachment is what maybe bo termed a general denial. In form It is almost n word-for-word reproduction of similar documents filed by respondents in every case of impeachment that has been tried in this country. They pro test and deny In the first place that there has been any misdemeanor in oflleo or maladministration , corruption , in- eompotency or neglect of duty , particu larly or otherwise , charged in said arti cles of impeachment or any of them to which they are or can bo bound by law to make answer. But for all that they do make answer to all of them and deny every charge and every allega tion , winding up with an attack on the validity of the impeachment on the ground that the same was voted by the legislaturo.although the testimony taken in the case had not been road. On this point , however , there Is no more novelty In their plea than there is in all the rest. In the case E St. .Tulicn Cox , judge of the Ninth judicial district of Minnesota , who was impeached , tried and convicted in 1882 , the respondent set up the plea that no testimony what ever was over adduced either before the house of representatives or before any committee of said house on the charge in said article contained , substantiating said charge or upon which to base said charge , but that the same was voted by said house of representa tives without being supported by any evidence whatsoever. This certainly is much moro of a denial than could have been made by the impeached Nebraska officials. While the evidence was not read in full to the legislature , it was heard , digested and compiled by the committee and passed In review by eminent attorneys before the impeachment was voted. As a matter of fact it is doubtful whothei there Is a case of Impeachment on rec ord in this country where the testimony was taken before a full house of repre sentatives or read in full to the house after it had been taken by an investiga ting committee. On that score , there fore , there will bo no ground for a dis missal , any moro than there can bo an acquittal on the plea that the alleged crookedness and criminal neglect in the management and supervision of state in stitutions are justifiable on the grounii that the Impeached officials wore bur duned with too many duties. TllK HOl'E OK TUB CD US' ttEJT. The efforts that are being made to in troduce American corn into northern Europe are attracting much attention among the producers of that Important cereal , and It is needless to say that they receive general approval , but it Is difficult for Americans to understand how it can bo necessary to present any proofs as to the value of corn as an arti cle of human food. The Indian corn dinner nor recently given In Copenhagen b\ , Colonel Murphy , the special agent of the United States Department ol Agriculture in Europe , was a grcu' ' surprise to his guests , many of whom did not know that corn was HI for anything else but for dumb animals The American minister to Denmark presided at this unique dinner and madt an address on the subject of corn , from an American point of view , which oponoc the eyes of the distinguished Danes whf sat about the corn-laden tables. In the course of his remarks he called utton tlon to the fact that mal/e , or Indiai corn , was unknown to the world before the discovery of America , thougl it had over since been a stu pie article of food among tin people hero. Ho declared that corn i used as an article of food by a grcatci number of people than any other grah except rice , which is the chief fooc product of the swarming millions o China. This fact is significant , am upon It may bo predicated great ox icctatlons as to the future of corn as an rtlelo of food In all the countries o' the vorld. The cheapness and hoalthfulncss of orn as an article of diet Is abundantly ittcstcd by the experience of the people f this country and other" countries n which it Is now consumed. It s especially suited to the needs of the > oor because It Is Inexpensive , hul at the atiio time It finds favpr with the rich xjcauso It Is palatable and wholesome n the various forms In which it fa now ircparal for the table. The Idea.that t Is fit only for oattlo and paupers 'has > rcvalled In some European co'untrles , but that notion has been quickly ex- iloded wherever Its merits have b * 6n ntelllgoutly and fairly tested. It seems trango that hundreds of years after ndian corn first begun to bo appreciated by Europeans In America It should iced to have a certificate of iharacter to admit It to the tables of iuropcatm in Europe. This does not * cem to be duo to prejudice so mliuh note to Ignorance and Indifference , and the nllueiit'o of old world conservatism. Our neighbors across the water are slow o believe that any article of food tin- mown to their remote ancestors can bo vorthy of their attention. But till this Is changing now. Our ox- lorts of corn to Europe are In- reusing rapidly year by year , and .ho growing knowledge of Its value uuong the pouplo who are now for the irst time becoming acquainted with it vill vastly increase the foreign demand 'or ono of the mo.-it valuable and proilt- ible products of the United States. The 'armors ' of the great western corn bolt ook upon this prospect with confidence nul hope. The fulfillment ot the prom- .so which It presents will mean a great leal to them and to the vast region In which corn is destined to be king. i.itwix IIOOTII. Throughout the dramatic world , and imong all whoso sympathies and tastes liavo any alllnity with dramatic art , there will be profound regret that Ed win Booth has been again stricken with wralysis , with the probability that this second attack will prove fatal. It will > o remembered that several years ago the distinguished actor had a paralytic stroke while playing at Rochester , N. V. , the announcement of which caused i feeling of sincere sorrow throughout the country. In a short time he recovered from this and played another season , visiting most of the principal cities of the coun try , Omaha among them , and showing in his acting no diminution of the power and finish which had made him the fore most actor of his time. His illustrious genius had been in nowise impaired by the visitation , and it was hoped that ho would for many year.- , continue to pre sent the highest form of the art in which he was confessedly without a peer. Even when two years ago it was an nounced that he had permanently re tired there was still a hope that he might bo induced to at least make one more tour of the country , and give those whose admiration ho enjoyed to an uii- llmlted dejrreo another opportunity to witness his masterly interpretations of character. All hope of this must now be given up. Edwin Booth will never act again. 'Tho stage wlilih ho illumined by his pres ence and elevated by his example will know him no more. The art which his broad and versatile genius illustrated moro intelligently and more clearly than has any other actor of modern times , has received its last interpretation at his bauds. The profound student and the ardent devotee of the drama has completed his work , and , crowned with the glory of the highest achievement , awaits the summons to that final exit which sooner or later comes to all. TIIBRB seems just ground for the in dignation that is manifested by the inde pendents in Homo localities over the manner in which several of their legis lators deserted their posts before the ad journment of the late session of the leg islature. During the last twenty-four hours of the session there were but live independent senators on the lloor , while the democrats and republicans had every one of their men thoro. There is no doubt a golden opportunity was lost , when those senators ihus left their seats , for the independents to so cure the en actment of several measures , in the adoption of which they were specially interested. The last hours of u legis lative session are sure always to bo tlio most important , and the independents will act wisely if they remember the les son taught and hereafter bo careful to select only such men to represent them on the lloor at the state capital as will stick to their post till the last hour has expired. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TllOSK nervous people who arc fright ened by the magnitude of the project o constructing a ship canal to connect the great lakes with the sea will bo-Inter ested to learn that a movement Is being pushed in Franco to cut a canal from Bordeaux to the Medlterraneani The waterway proposed would be 1)28 ) mllce long , from Mil to 200 feet wide and 27 } feet deep. There is not half as urgent n necessity for such a canal in Prance ah there Is for a canal from the lakes to the Atlantic suitable for the accommodation of the largo grain vessels. The trafll * of the projected French canal would bt insignificant in comparison with that o the proposed American ship canal. The demand for a deep water connection be twcon Lake Erie and the Atlantic ocean will soon become too strong to bo ro slsted. Even If the undertaking wort begun at once It could not be complotei soon enough. TUB Now York Tribune professes to have discovered an inherent weakness li all combinations to extort from the pub lie unnatural returns for services 01 products that is the natural remedy jguinst a monopolizing tendency.

Without questioning ho pathological sagacity of the Tribune , ho fact nevertheless remains hat the powerful natural remedy ijralnst trust combines Is of exceeding ellborato action.

There Is in these facts lothlng particularly surprising or ells- Mwragiug. Nobody has ever counted ipon European patronage as an impor- ant factor in the success of the exposi tion , which must elcpcnd almost wholly ipon the support of the American looplo. But the fact that the iiuoplo of Europe are not at present showing a very ardent interest in the 'air Is not to be accepted as proof that they are indifferent to it. Europeans understand that no enterprise of this kind is over complete at the thno it Is uinoiineed to open , and they do not ex pect that this greatest of till world's 'airs will bo in perfect shape for at least : i month after the date of opening. As soon as they know that it is complete they will come to it , and when that time arrives the calculations regarding Eu ropean visitors will doubtless bo found not to have been exaggerated. There is every reason to oxpoet that the la > t Ihroo months of thu exposition will wit less a great inHjix of foreign visitors. Look lit Iliiwall Now. /t'diixdR Cllii Jinirnal.

Governor Crounso 1mssigned thomnxlmun rate bill and now Nebraska has a rate law which politicians have promised the pco plo In tticlr state conventions for the last decade , but have always failed to live up to their promises until fills winter. Whether the bill as passed will uicet the emergency or not ronmiiis to ha seen. The matter o railroad regulation opens up a most dinicult question for amicable settlement , but after It has been promised the people it should bo attempted and If not secured satisfactory in every instance at first , it can be amended as discrepancies come to thu surface in the enforcement forcoment of the law. Governor Crounso has also by his action freed the republican party from ccnsiiro by the people so far as the executive branch of the state govern ment Is concerned , and In this respect ho towers high nbovo the ) legislative branch will a | kssible few exceptions. There Is a large number of people throughout the state who have opposed this bill on the grounds , that competition was all that would bo necessary In the regulation of rates. While this maj bo true , yet no ono branch of the business should bo subjected to regulation nnd others go free , as has been the case heretofore , am as this Is supposed to bo a government b > aud for the people , thu people should see to It that no servant becomes greater than its master , and If regulation Is not what U runted In future keep It out of party pledge * .

The ; senators who wore the opponents of the maximum rate bill have returned from -heir junket to the northwest nnd will now irob.-ibly go homo to their constituents. I'hoy have now successfully Illustrated for the forty-eleventh tlmo why the republican mrty Is n minority in Nebraska today. The lusklnoss of dunato ngalnst the rate bill had lot left their voices until they wcro clamor- , ng to the railroads for transportation In order that they might exhibit themselves In ; ho light of being rewarded for services. It would seem that the day might some tlmo como when the folly of this fool business might cease , but U Is a long and weary , If not absolutely boneless , walling. People , in the discussion ot so Important n measure as the maximum rate hill , are willing to e'once'do that those who oppose a neasuro of that kind arc honest In It , and there arc abundant arguments upon which to make a fair and honorable light against a maximum rate bill. Hut no matter how honest nembcrs may be and bow ready the1 public Is to concede that they are honest In their opposition - position to a measure , the\v , with n determ ination unparalleled in the annals of foolish ness , proceed as soon as the struuglo Is over to appear before the public In the light of liclng rewarded for their vote's. The last legislature had hardly adjourned before two- thirds of the opponents to tlio maximum rate bill In the senate were boarding a spe cial train for a free road up to the north west , and , because these Junketers wcro al most without exception republleans , that party must stand the censure of it all. Tin- Call knows what It Is talking about when it says the railroads and the railroad men do not like this kind of business. They believe in the question of rates , in the right of their position ; they believe their position right from a business point of view for the state us we'll as their own Interests. They expect , far more- than the people glvo them credit , that legislators should endorse their view of the question from a standpoint of equity rather than as a corporation. For these reasons the railroads are as much dis gusted ns the public to receive bints and de mands for an e-xcursion from men who were on the same side of the question with them , the moment adjournment comes so that they can go direct from the balls of legislation tea a free train , Instead of going about their business. ni.vr. .vo.vw.tr II.II.M.

In lilt 1'nrty. WASHINGTON- . C. , April 1KV iSiccli\l | to Tin : UEB. ] Kveryda.v It becomes plainer and plainer that ( it-over Cleveland Is determined to i-lthcr bo tlio dcmocnitlc presidential nomlncn himself or transfer the nomination to a friend in IS''G. ' ' The president Is building now In the firm est i-oncrolo u party of his own. Ho fcols tlmt his nomhutiou ntid election lust year were In spllo of tlio machinations of the leaders of his party , that ho has grown up from conditions and for a purpose , and that there Is no such tiling us wresting the party control from his hands. Not alone arc tils appointments bolus ; miulo In such a manner as to most wealtcn his enemies within the democratic party and make himself strong , but ho has arranged a program for the distribution of the ofilees which will leave In his hands some strong weapons for his own continua tion in oflleo or the advancement of a friend three years hence. It will only bo three short years from this tirno till nearly , if not quite , all of the delegates to the republican and democratic national conventions will have been selected , and most of them will have announced for whom they will vote. Grover Cleveland Intends to dole out tlio patronage In such a slow way as to leave in his hands a largo numberof consulates , some missions , heads of bureaus and other places to bo given out say during the summer and fall ot IS'.d and that winter and thu follow ing spring. He believes that President Harrison , when sttivlng fora renomlnation. was put to much unnecessary trouble anil some expense by having no olllces loft ; that if there bad been moro foresight displayed in hnndlinir the olllces ho would huvo had no contest at Minneapolis. \Villcliliitf tlio Miiln CliHiii-c. While President Cleveland is apparently going right ahead with the reorganization of the federal service and the preparation of party measures for the early session of con gress without any regard to his political future and an eye single to tlio welfare of the country and bis party there is every rea son to believe that his own future is first In mind. Up to this moment there lias not been a single appointment made for a man who prominently opposed him at Chicago last Juno unless the appdntoo is Air. Cleveland's friend and lias credentials showing that ho has been tested , or better still , ho is known to be right for the future. The president has come to the loir- leal conclusion that if ho can give out the olllces so as to placate his influential party enemies and at the same time reward his friends ho will have killed two birds with one stone ; and be has done this In a number of instances , and in so doing ho has given out the impression in some quarters that bo Is simply rewarding party men without regard to their past position. Not once has a demo- erat in congress who opposed Cleveland at Chicago been given an ollico for a Hill man. SnmtornVlio Am Doubtful. President Cleveland Is very perplexing to his old friends these days. Like General Harrison ho has a most unfortunate way of showing Ki-ntltndo and appreciation of friends. There is scarcely a democrat in Washington who is positive in his own mind that bo bus any dellnite and absolute in fluence with the president. He may pretend to think ho can control an appointment , but he really does not believe In can ; ho is in doubt. It was Just so under Har rison. President Cleveland , lilco his immediate predecessor Is making many enemies in the senate , and unless ho capitu lates to certain republican senators who arc alwvo partisan bias in a general way , there will bo great trouble in securing confirma tions of nominations before the end of next winter's session. Hero are a few democratic senators who have in 0110 way or another been snubbed by President Cleveland , who cannot got appointments , if at all with satis faction , and wlio are not in accord with GroverCloveland in his individual capacity , and who will refuse to vote for the confirma tion of personal appointments if things run u little while longer as they are now going : Pugh , Cockroll. Vest , Hill , Murphy , Gor man , Hrlcc , Gibson , Uutler , BlackburnCall , Harris , Morgan. I could name a dozen morn who are ' 'out of joint" with the president , because the latter 1ms disregarded their wishes , and it will take but little to cause a revolution against the p-esldent's personal appointments. .Sen ators are very lotti to acknowledge that there are any differences between them and their party president , and are always anxious to stand in fuvor with the administration ; but in private they show their feelings. This was true to a certain extent among the ropubllt President Harrison ino- and cans a year ago wlth some opposition both in and out of the senate ; but the feeling against the repub lican president was not a simple taste of what there is now against President Cleve land upon the part of his party then in the upper branch of congress.

During all of the adversities . .f thlsiimr actor which came to President Harrison It never occurred that his part.v split s.

And that turn was partly to a consuming desire upon the par a few ultra-silver men to save their hob. . When It came to "toeing the mark o party question the republicans stomi btl president.

Did you see the prancing1 people as they tried to keep their feet ? How it whistled round the corners ! how it galloped through the doors !
