SOMH of the pictures of Governor Crounso printed by the Chicago papers are oxcerablo enough to warrant loyal Nohntskatis in boycotting the World's fair. THR man who was sent to jail by the federal court for selling a pint of whisky to an Indian is in a position to keenly appreciate the humor of the attempt to secure Mr. Mother's roleitso.

A congress of representatives of or ganized Inbor in Nebraska will meet In jlncoln July 2. Forty-ono organiza tions of skilled labor have already slg- lified their intention to send delegates , so thatlhoro Is every assurance that the congress will bo a largely attended and thoroughly representative body. As this will bo the drat attempt to effect a state Industrial organization the move- nont Is ono that should Interest all classes of skilled workmen , to whom t specially appeals. Although Nebraska s'not a great manufacturing state our mlustrlcs glvo employment to a argo force of wage earners , and it will perhaps surprise most people to leave the number of oriranl/atlons of skilled labor there is in the stale. The Interests and the rights of labor can only bo conserved and promoted by co-operation. Organized labor is a force and an Influence when wisely directed. If the State Labor congress shall act with moderation and conservatism it will bo able to effect a general organiza tion of the skilled industrial workers of Nebraska which cannot fall to bo to their benefit. Such an organization might do much in the way of obtaining trustworthy statistics regarding labor conditions hero the hours of work , the pay , the treatment of working people , and. other information , of value. Wo hope the congress will bo largely at tended and its deliberations and action such as every sincere friend of labor can approve. CONDITION tV NK1IHASKA ILINKS. While the attention of the country has been drawn to the disastrous bank failures in eastern and middle states , it is a notable fact that hero in Nebraska a fooling of confidence exists that will do much to allay popular apprehension as to the stability of local bi'.nks. Since the linaneial Hurry which has resulted so disastrously to eastern banks set in , Nebraska has had no serious bank fail ure. In fact , apart from the Moshor bank failure , which occurred in Janu ary , but ono failure has been reported , and that of a small institution in the in terior of the state with liabilities scarcely amounting to $15,000. , The bank examiners of the state unite in agreeing that , everything being taken into con sideration , Nebraska's ' banks are much more solid than in most states in the union. Tliis gratifying state of' affairs exists as much on account of the excellent banking laws on our statute books as on anything else. Of course , dishonest men are as likely to engage in banking in Nebraska as anywhere else , but they are unable to conduct their nefarious opera tions undetected for any great length ol time. Their dishonest methods would bo discovered before they could exist long enough to gain the confidence ol the people of the community. Undei the Nebraska law a combination of "dis honest banks similar to the ono estab lished in Illinois and Indiana by the now notorious Zimri Dvviggins would bo im possible. Each and every bank in the state is compelled to stand on its owi merits. The system of frequent ex amination at .unexpected intervals im posed by the state banking' laws is a con tributory influence.In . .maintaining the solidity of Nebraska banks. The semi annual reports which must be filed with the banking department also renders material assistance in enabling the oflicors who compose the State Banking Board to enforce the provisions of the law. law.It It would bo impossible , of course , to enact a state banking law which would absolutely prevent failures. It would bo equally impossible to guard against embezzlement and dishonesty of bank olllcials. Bui short of this infallability the Nebraska banking law is ono of the best in the union. Its excellence is at tested by the fact that a bill copying all of its essential features lias been favora bly reported to the Illinois legislature. All that the Nebraska law needs is n faithful and ellioiont enforcement. Under the old banking board considera ble laxity was noticeable by which sev eral banks wore permitted to continue in business 'even after they htu : been reported to bo in an tin sound condition by the cxamin ova. The members of the present board are more exacting and the alTairt of the department in more competent hands. If the law Is strictly enforced by the board it will bo impossible for i Nebraska bank to continue in an un sound condition for any length of time , The people of the fitato cjiilidently ex pect the banking board to do its dutj .and it may very properly exorcise an nn usual vigilance at the present oritlea point in the condition of the thmncla world. I'llK WKIC riUK or IMMailATWN. The tremendous rush of Immigrant to this country n few weeks ago was ac copied as indicating that these classci from European countries wore anxiou to land on our shores before the inon restrictive immigration law should gi Into effect. It is now apparent that thi was not the correct explanation. It wa but the commencement of an inoreasini tide of Immigration that has alrcad ; reached a gigantic volume. In th months of January and February th number of Hteorago passengers landei at the port of Isuw York wan enl , 20,000 , a smaller number than in an , corresponding period for nearly half century. This was attributable to th restrictions then existing. Double thi number arrived la March , and ollloiii returns show tlmt in April and Ma there wore IfiO.OOO suoh arrivals at tlm port alone. Basing its conclusion o this exhibit the Now York Sim estimates mates that "if as many immigrant oomo hero in this month of Juno as hav como here in each of the past tw months , the count for the half year wil bo very near to 300,000. , For th'o whol of last year the number of immigrant entered here was but 374,741 , while thi year , if our doors bo kept open a through It , wo may look for botweo 500,000 , and 1)00,000. ) , " Moreover the European advicoa n ccivcd by that journal lead it to bollov that unless the restrictions imposed lu ; autumn shall bo renewed the "rush t this country will bo kept up at leant f its present rate nil through the year , and that the uuuibor of uowcoiucnj i ho second half of the year will largely surpass that of the first six months. The great steamships dally entering the notropolitan port are laden with Immi grants , and great masses await ombar- cation at all principal foreign ports , vhilo other masses are cnroulo from the ntortor country to take their place in , urn. In view of this Into rapid addition to our population , H Is gratifying to learn that it is of a better character generally than heretofore. While the Italians constitute about one-ftftn of the total Im migration as registered , the improved immigration law has purged It of its former most objectionable element. Germany comes next , and these who liavo preceded them have already estab lished their claim to recognition a * a ilcslrablo addition to the citizenship of this country. The Irish , Scandinavians , Swedes , Norwegians , Motherland Dutch and Englishmen , who constitute the [ jroat bulk of the remainder , are equally entitled to consideration. What is characteristic of Increase and condition of this Influx at Now York is applicable also at other Atlantic ports , and ports on the Canadian border. Most of this great Hood Hews onward from the cast and spreads over the wide expanse of thp western states almost im mediately upon arrival. This country is broad and fertile and there is yet mifllclont room to alTord a welcome to the worthy laboring classes of other countries who seek homos and prosperity. These states will display the most wisdom who strive to retain within their demesnes a proportion of this now increase to the population of the country as It comes in. Sooner or later Its How must bo in terrupted. Under the power with which the president has already boon vested by congress ho may at any time for sani tary or other pertinent reasons impose restrictions that will reduce It to a min imum. Further , there Is no doubt that the time is close at hand when from an economic standpoint of view alone It will bo esteemed necessary to stem this tido. Indeed , it is not unlikely that the next congress will address itself to the consideration of the subject. ' ' ' . ' . JVDOK MAXH'KItL'S O/'J.YJOA' Wo give space on the fourth page of this issue to a verbatim opinion ren dered by Chief Justice Maxwell in the late impeachment trial. It is a clear , logical and exhaustive review of the points involved and evidence taken , with the judge's unan swerable reasons for the conclusion he had reached. As one of the framers of the constitution Justice Maxwell may certainly bo credited with a fair comprehension of the functions of the court of impeachment created under it. His opinion , quite apart from his occupancy of tbo supreme bench during ono uninterrupted period of eighteen years , should therefore have great weight with the masses of the people who have viewed this issue from the broad standpoint of good citizen ship. Justice Maxwell's conclusions arc moreover in consonance with the popu lar demand of the hour for tlio purifica tion of politics , the enforcement ol official integrity and the uprooting ol boodlorism in every shape and form. In this instance , as at all other times , Justice Maxwell has had the courage ol his convictions whether they were 01 wore not in accord with these of his col leagues , and the people of Nebraska re spect and revere him for that very roa son. KXPATHIAT1OA' TlIK NEGKO. The article of ox-Senator Ingalls , pub lished several weeks ago , in which h < advocated sending the colored race ou of the United States as the only solutioi of the negro question , has mot with c vigorous and somewhat indignant response sponso from loading representative mei of that race. Ono of these , John M Langston , who bus boon a ropresentativi * in congress and a foreign minister , take : issue with Mr. Ingalls in every salion point of his argument. In reply to tin assertion of the ox-senator that no real substantial results have boon achiever from a quarter of a century's attcntioi to the negro question by the people o the north , Mr. Langston point to those facts : That in the north al the black laws liavo been repealed am public schools have been established fo the colored people wherever they ar < not admitted regularly to the commoi schools cf the community ; that in Yali nnd Harvard colleges , and In over ; leading university and school in Nov Kngland and the west , tbo negro btudon is found earnest and diligent in tin cultivation of soionco and learning , am accepted and kindly treated , and h : charges that Ingalls can liavo knowi little of the negro's condition in th north in 1850 and the succeeding to years if ho finds no improvement in tha condition in the pleasant , prosporou and promising position of the negro rac In the northern states today. As to the assertion of Mr , Ingalls tha negro suffrage way an experiment of re construction , Langston replies by calling attention to the historical facts tlm when the constitution of the Unite States wna ratified , American negro citl zons voted in quite half of the origlmi thirteen states , and that in North Cart Una 'and perhaps in other state.of th south , free negroes voted upon a proj orty quullflcnlion down to 1835. Mi Langston treats the exodus plan as al surdly Impracticable and rests upon win ho regards as two unanswerable cot ditions , that the negro is here , brougl : here not by his own act , and ia her to stay , and ho aces in the progress mad in the past and in the signs of th future indications that the uogro , li "losing himself politically In the goi oral body of American citizens. " m voting Hlmply "as directed by solllsl adventuring politicians , " but in tli lines of his own interest and the goo of the country , may "relieve himself i these considerations and ditliculth hitherto tending to oppress and dograd him because of his too united and goi oral devotion to a single party organize tlon. " The plan proposed by Mr. Ingalls f ( solving the negro question is not no\ It was suggested years ago. Even I the days of slavery Henry Clay , nr perhaps other statesmen , oxprcssc the wish that the negroes could 1 rotui nod to the land of tholr ancestor In later years tho'iiUinot tholr expatria tion has been dlstJLpcJlvrl.v southern. It has received llttlo support outsldo of that , section. Nor Is It' likely over to dose so , oven with so brilliant nn advoca'o as ox-Senator IngallsT riio negro has boon made n citizen of the United States by the deliberate action of a majority of the people. Ills equality of citizenship is recognized In the constitution and laws of the country. Ho will not bo dis turbed In that relation , for Independ ent of the utter' impracticability of Bending 8,000,000 people out of the country the American people will never bo guilty of the gross injustice to the race which such an undertaking would Involve. The solution of the negro question must bo found In tlm Intellectual and moral ele vation of the race , and steady progress is making in this direction , with per haps as much rapidity as is reasonably to bo expected under the circumstances. There Is reason to hope that before the end of another generation there will bo nothing of the negro problem to disturb the popular mind or fret the public con science , and that throughout the union the cjlorcd ratio will enjoy the rights which the laws vouchsafe and receive the fall measure of justice that should bo accorded to every class of citizens. .1 HIGH CUUtlT OF NATIONS. Ono of the suggestions naturally grow ing out of the arbitration of the Boring sea controversy ia that the titno has como for creating a permanent high court of nations to deal with all differ ences arising between the civilized countries of the world , and it is urged that the United States might properly take the initiative in an olTort to estab lish such a tribunal. All civilized na tions , it is argued , littvo courts of law for the enforcement of justice toward each citizen , hut as yet the nations themselves have not accepted a higher court of law which shall take the place of war ns an arbi ter of international disputes. The United States , say the advocates of such o court , ought to embrace the pres ent opportunity and should call an in ternational convention for the estab lishment of such a court , whoso de cisions could bo enforced by the nations themselves , if necessary. It is thought if the United States wore to inaugurate a movement of this kind with the con currence of Great Britain no European nation would bo Mlce'ly ' to oppose n con vention hold with- the intent of. ' estab lishing an international court whoso only avowed purpose would bo the main tenance of justice inall dealings between civilized peoples. j It is a fact that international ar bitration has been1 steadily grow ing in favor for - - ' moro than half a century , withi. the United States leading in the recognition of the princi ple , which may bo said to liavo become fairly well cstablis'lioQ as the national .policy of this country. Our history affords a number > of examples of the ollieacy of this principle , conspicuous among thorn being ; the Bottlemont ot the bitterly contested Alabama claims at Geneva by a court composed of repre sentatives of Italy , Switzerland , Brazil and the contending countries. Nor has appeal to this means for the peaceable settlement of international difference.1- been confined to this country. Franco anc England , Spain nnd Germany , andothoi countries both in Europe and America have submitted their controversies tc arbitration , and the principle is broadly recognized in the provision of the Pan American agreement which commit : nearly all the countries in this hemis phere to a submission of their contra vorsics to a tribunal of arbitration The value of this policy has therofon boon most amply demonstrated ani there can bo no doubt that among enlightened lightened nations the sentiment in favoi of it has boon steadily growing. So fai as this country is concerned it is protti sure always to seek the settlement o disputes with other nations by arbitra tion before resolving on war. But notwithstanding these facts 1 which seem to strongly support the ide of a high court of nations , to which al international controversies should b referred , it must bo regarded as ono c these visionary schemed , the rculizivtio of which must await the millenniuir r Edward Everett Halo , who is a vor earnest advocate of a tribunal of thi . character , thinks that the prejudice , that stand in Its way are not very muo greater than these which first thrcai encd the United States supreme com in 1789. Tiion what were virtual ! a thirteen nations united to create a si promo judicatory , nnd the result he been successful beyond the most sai gttlno hopes of the founders. Bu obviously this Is a vqry imidoquat support for an argument in advocac , of a high court of nations , for there arne no such differences in conditions and It : torosts among the states of the unio needing to bo considered by our BU premo tribunal as exist between dilloi ont nations , in thu attempt to rcconcil which only a court 'ol Solomons , not possible siblo in these days , 'rtfight ' bo successful There in reason to buliovo that wisely governed nations .Will seek arbltratloi more and more db' to controvorslo which it is'praoticab'lo ' to settle in thi way , but thora willuoontlnuo to bo , at long as human ambitions and interest remain as they aro' ' , ' disputes botweoi notions which can Ijq , satisfactorily settle tlo d only by an apixyil to force. TUB news comc all the way froi England that the reciprocity treaty b < twoon the United States and Brazil unpopular with th'o "Importers of th latter country. Thq Havor of the mil in this particular eocounut will bo bottc appreciated when it is learned that tli tmuio correspondent incidentally n marks that under the provisions of tl reciprocity treaty the Brazilian impor era are buying largo invoices of cottc fabrics from American manufacturer Thia trade formerly wont to England. RAIUIOAU profit sharing Is a no application of a principle that lias bet > r instituted with more or loss success : v. manufacturing and mercantile onto in prises. The Illinois Central cunrar id proposes to experiment with u plan , tl id results of which will bo uwaltud wit > o very general interest among rallron s. employes especially. The proposition to sot aside stock of the company for Its employes , who shall IKS at liberty to pay for it In Installments of &i or more. The money will bo received by the treasurer of the company and credited to the em ploye , together with Interest tit I per cent per annum , and when the credit of any pur chaser amounts to the price at which the stock was bought ho shall receive a certificate for his share of stock and can then , If ho wishes , begin the purchase of another share. Money and accrued in terest may bo returned on the applica tion of the purchaser , reasonable pro visions are made for the default of pay ments , and It Is required that nn em ploye leaving the sorvlco of the com pany shall take his account from the company's books , though ho may , of cottrsb , retain all the stock for which ho shall liavo paid. The plan , It will bo scon , is a combination of savings bank and profit sharing , and so far as wo know is an entirely novel scheme. It la remarked of the proposition that the company does not make It under a pretense - tense of specially desiring to favor Us employes. Its object Is mutual benefit , the board of directors believing that ono of the advantages to bo expected would bo a considerable saving in every department of the service as the result of a community of Interest. Doubtless another would bo in scouring greater olHctoncy and a heartier loyalty. It should not take a crrcat while to demon strate whether the scheme Is likely to bo successful , and If it should succeed It may in time bo widely adopted. AN IMPORTANT opinion respecting the right of alien heirs under the laws of Illinois has just boon rendered In the cir cuit court of that state sitting at Bloom- Ington. A business man of that city , an Irishman , named Mark Tully died , leav ing a largo estate , a widow and two chil dren. Although a naturalized citizen Tully had brothers and sisters in Ire land , subjects of Great Britain , who have children in Illinois. Under the old statutes of Illinois thcso holrs would liavo inherited one-half decedent's estate and the widow and her children the other half. Judge Tipton decided that the now alien law , which recently bo- catno effective in that state , prohibits aliens buying and" owing land in Illi nois. Its adoption repealed all former statutes on the subject , loft the common law in force , and therefore neither aliens nor dcscondonts of aliens born in foreign countries can take property by inherit ance. Consequently tbo widow and her children take the entire estate and the alien brothers and sisters and their de scendants got no portion of it. In case whore property is loft by decedents , there being alien heirs only , it must escheat to the state. THE damage suit of William 13. Laid- law of Now York against Itussell Sage for $50,000 , based on the claim that when the assassin Norcross throw the bomb at the defendant in his office more than a year ago the millionaire used the clerk as n shield , has been thrown out of the New York supreme court. But plaintiff's counsel will at once carry It to the court of appeals , the tribunal of last resort in that state , and it is likely to become another celebrated case. Laidlaw submitted to a critical examin ation , and it was evident to the court and spectators thai ho was a physical wreck , and the damage to his person hardly to bo reckoned by money. But in spite of the evidence and the man's ' actual condition Judge Andrews decided that there had been a complete failure on the part of the prosecution to show that Sage , by pulling Laidlaw between himself and the bomb thrower , removed the clerk from a position of safety to one of danger.

Boston Glebe : Kdwln Hooth was a prodley of Industry , a student of the deeper and hid den nijstcrifls of the drama , and a man whom no misfortune could daunt and no suffering dismay. Detroit Free Press : Mr , Booth was the last of the truly great men whoso labors wcro employed In that Hold ; and in all the wide horizon thcro is visible no sign of the actor who is coming to take his placo. Now York llorald : In his career ho had many successes and many failures , lint all through his life ho was the siavo of his art and the earnest supporter of everything that , conduces to the elevation and purity of the stage. With him falls ono of the pillars of the legitimate drama. Springfield Republican : For moro than forty years he played , by far the most popu- ar of actors , whether native or foreign , in Atho range of tha higher drama , mm espe cially in the plays of Shakospcaro ; his inter pretations became the standard for certain characters ; he was the ideal Hamlet , the great Illchcliou , the perfect logo. Chicago Hocord : Edwin Booth needs no eulogy as an actor. No tribute of praise would add to his laurels. It is enough that the world may say of him as lie , in the character of llamlot , so often said of the ghostly king : "llo was u man , take him for all In all , 1 shall not look upon his llko again. " Globe-Democrat : Booth is gone , and with him arc gene lago , Lear , Uichnrd , Macbeth , Hamlet and Hlchcliou. Some of the other parts in which ho appeared lind worthy in terpretation from actors who are still with us , but doubtless many years are dostincd to pass before the characters here named are again presented as Booth presented them. Boston Advertiser : With honest pride nnd gratitude America will recall the gomus of this , her irrcat son. But scarcely less is she to triumph in his life and cliuractcr. Pure , generous , modest , high-minded , he lived a noble , gentle life , despising over. ' , form of meanness and coarseness , disdain ing ignoble acts cither of defence or of dis play. Cleveland Loader : The story of Edwir Booth's triumphs can never be told as to IK moro than a mockery to these who have fel the charm of his presence. All who UHVI scon the light of his eye and felt the thrll of his voice realize that their loss Is Una ! nnd complete. They know that a nolih fountain of pleasure and [ esthetic inspira tion is gene forovor. Chicago Times : Ho had that rornbinatioi nnd that form , indeed , ns , acting Hntnlot , In told his mother in describing her lost hus band , whereon each goti did seem to sot hi seal to give the world assurance of a man Grace was seated on his brow : Hyperion' , curls ; the front of Jove himself ; an eye Ilk Mars to threaten and command ; stutioi like the herald Mercury now lighted on r heaven-kissing hill. Chicago Tribune : It has often boon sail that his numerous personations o Hninlot had tinged his life wltn th prominent characteristics of "Tho Mohui choly Dano.

The wren has a sweeter sons than thoj peacock. j. . All churches have some members who talk too much. Thcro is no easy place anywhere on cartli for a lazy man. God is robbed whenever ono man gives' ' another light weight. y Every man is a hypocrite who prays onoj way and lives another. ' There nro two ways ot telling a go'oso j by its Babble and its walk.
