Tur Inter-Ocean Robin is chirping from Council Bluffs. Tr you wish to make a man hot in these days tell him to ‘‘keop cool.” Many of the roads leading from Omaha into the county are in a dis- graceful condition. Dn.

CoLorADO now stands at the head as a silver and gold producing state. Nevada carried the flag for years; but in 1880 she had to yield it up Colora- do. The list runs as follows: Gold and silver production for 1880—Colo- rado, $23,000,000; Califorma, $19,- 000,000; Nevada, $15,000,000; Utah, A LUCKY ESCAPE. Senator Beck, of Kentucky, in an interview with a Louisville reporter, said that the reason why the demo- crats failed to elect a president of the senate wasbecause they had no chance. “The republicans agreed to go into an election if the democrats would elect Senator Harris, The democrats have a high regard for Senator Harris, and Senator Harris, who is an unselfish democrat, refused to accept the office thus tendezed. There ly no election.” Thus the country lucky escape. The elovation of Isham G. Harris to the presidency of the United States Senate would have been an insult to every loyal American. Among all the ex-rebels, not excepting even Jeff Davis, this man Harris is the most infamous, Jefl Davis, Bob Toombs, Judah P. Benja- min and other fire-eaters, openly pro- claimed that allegiance to the sover- cign states was above the allegiance they owed to the Union. When their states passed ordinances of secession they left the United States senate and buckled on their swords in behalf of the confederacy. In 1861, while se- ceasion leaders were organizing armed resistance to the national authority, Isham G. Harris was governor of Tennessee. ¥ was consequent- made another The confederacy was formed in February, 1861, The propostion to sever connection with the union and join the confederacy was voted down by the people of Tennessec by over 60,000 majority in the same month, Before the vote was taken Isham T. who was known to be in sym- pathy with the sccession movement, pledged himself to faithfully abide by the decision of his state. Instead of keeping the pledge this infamous traitor, while professing loyalty to the union, was in constant communion with Jeff Davis, and he even went 50 far as to organize and equip troops in Tennessee for the confederate armies, It was mainly by his treasonable intrirues that Ten- nessce was finally dragged into the rebellion on the 8th of June, 1861, by a fraudulent election. Having plunged hus state into a bloody and costly war, Isham G. Harris showed the white feather and disgraced his people by his ar- rant cowardico —the very first time a break was made across the Cumber- land river by the Union army, Within ten hours after the capture of Donaldson by General Grant this val- liant governor of thesovereign state of Tennessee packed all his traps and precipitately ran away from the state capital. His cowardly flight from Nashville vrecipitated a disgraceful and ludicrous panic among the people .of that city, and wound up witha bloody riot. Harris kept on the run, although the gunboats of Commodore Foote and the armies of Grant and Buell did not put in an appearance at Nashville until one week after Harris had fled the crpital. During the remainder of the war Harris kept out of harm's way, and when Richmond had fallen and Lee had surrendered he struck out for South America, swearing he never would again live under the hated Yankee flag. He did not re- main down there very long. The Brazilian slave plantation was not what he had expected to find it. Mor- tified, but not repentant, he returned to Tennesseo and in due time procured a pardon from A. Johnson, whom he had helped to burn in eftigy at the outoreak of the war. In due time this reconstructed quaker gun was returned as one of the represen- tatives of Tennesseo in the national senate. - How any reputable republi- can could support a man with such a record for the presidency of the sen- ate passes our comprehension, A robel brigadier who fought for his con- victions is entitled to some respect, but a poltroon like Isham G. Harris, who urged on the fight and then ran away be- fore he came within range of a bullet is not fit for doorkeeper of any rep- §0,000,000; Dakota, $4,000,000; Arizona, $3,5600,000; Montana, $3,- 500,000; Idaho, $2,000,000; Oregon, £1,000,000; New Mexico, $600,000; total, $77,600,000. Colorado in- creased her production of the pre- cious metals from $17,000,000 in 1879 to $23,000,009 in 1880, and those who have the best means of judging of the production for 1881 put the amount down at $35,000,000, Tue rapid destruction of our forests is creating just apprehension and alarm among eastern dealers and man- ufacturers. The supply of pine and hemlock in several of the states is nearing exhaustion and the resources ot oak and walnut are little better off, The market for walnut lumber has al- ready been seriously affected by the approaching scarcity. A ‘‘corner” has even been attempted by a few partic- ularly shrewd dealers, and manufac- turers of furniture are considering what course they shall adopt when the time comes in which they can no longer even at a heavy advance obtain this much-desired material. Nothing else is 8o well adapted to the purposes for which it is used; and even of the unsatisfactory substitutes proposed the supply is not to be depended on. utable legislative body. The coun- try is to be congratulated on its os- cape from such an acting president of the senate. — GUITEAU'S INSANITY, Amid all the conflicting opinions as to the insanity of Guiteau, the would- be assassin, there is one authority who not only disbelieves in the dis- eased mental condition of the prison- er, but gives excellent reasons tor his opinion. Dr. Charles H. Niohols, head of the Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane, declares that he sees noth- ing in the actions of Guiteau which will indicate anything more than an unbalanced mind, with a mania for getting a living out of the world without paying for it. The plea of temporary insanity, says the doctor, is nothing but a legal fiction,. Men of sound mind do not go crazy at a mo- ment's notice, even under the strong o8t kind of excitement, and men of even eccentric behavior, such as that of Guiteau for several yoars back, are not, as & rule, to be feared as liable to break out into homicidal furor. In epilepsy, as in insanity, homicidal furor may anifest itself, but there are usually plenty of warn- ings, and moreover when the furor comes the patient wants to kill, not necessarily a particular person, but some one—it may be a nurse ora nurse or friend or the first person met. Guiteau did not kill the first person that came along when the homicidal frenzy appeared. The fact that he laid his plans to kill the presi- dent and no one else is presumptive evidence that he understood perfectly whatshe was doing. Dr. Nicholls enters a very earnest protest against the present legal meth- ods of determing insanity, which ho denounces as absurd and pernicious. The usual method is to keep a jury for months listening to the cvidence of oxperts, confusing them by hair- splitting technicalities and endless supposable until at the conclusion of the argument they are utterly unable to make up their minds whether such a thing as insanity existed or not. The result in nine cases out of ten is a ‘‘reasonable doubt” and the prison- er is acquitted, In opposition to this system, Dr. Nicholls quotes the French method. In France the ex- perts are not allowed to confuse the jury with hypothetical cases of tech- nical testimony of any kind. A’com- mittee of experts appointed by the counsel ou both sides, with the ap- proval of the court, examines the prisoner, listens to the evidence and decides a8 to his sanity or insanity. This decision is read to the jury, and if the facts in the case seem to the jury to warrant such a decision, it is accepted, If such a jury of experts were to sit in consultation upon * Gui- teau’s case the result would not be doubtful for a moment. cases Ir is a leading characteristic of American journalism that it 18 always prepared for any unforseen call upon it’s resources. No emergency seems too sudden and no demand too great. With its thousand newsgatherers scat- tered throughout the country it can at any moment by the aid of the tele- graph and railway throw it’s reserves to reinforce any weak position and meet the demand made upon it by circumstances of unusual interest or gravity. Nothing, in latter times, since the close of the war has 80 clearly shown the infinite resources of the press at the late tragical event at Washington. Without a moment's warning, when a large portion of their regular force at Washington were en- joying a summer vacation, the nows- gathers were called upon to chronicle in the fullest and most complete man- ner the attempted assassination of President Garfield. Within twenty minutes after the firing of the shot the telegraph wires were teeming with dispatches to every portion of the continent. All nowspapers of enterprise gave forth from hour to hour, rapidly succeeding editions viving such details of the case and such reports of the president’s condition as could be hurriedly gather- ed. During the day and night suc- ceoding the attack upon the president nearly 800,000 words or 400 news- paper columns were transmitted by telegraph from Washington with a rapidity and correctness which will always remain one of the marvels of the times. Few of the citizens of Omaha know that many of our most valuable city records are at the mercy of the first fire which may attack the city hall. None of the city offices have vaults in which to store the city records. The city treasurer and clerk have each a small safe which is scarcely adequate to protect the monthly business trans- acted in the office. In the clerk’s oftice the valuable tax lists and assess- ment books for many years past are ranged in shelves around the room or stowed away in such nooks and corners as are most available. City Clerk Jowett informs us that a fire would be most disastrous to the city records, and would work mischief and occasion loss which ceuld not be romedied. With the plats and maps of the city the case is still worse. For lack of accommodations in the city hall the city engineer is forced to look for quarters elsewhere, and to se- cure such protection for the documents under his charge as can be obtained without the aid of fire proof vaults. Such a condition of affairs calls for prompt investigation at the hands of the council, Until better accommo- dations for the city officers can be se- cured, vaults should not be built ad- joining the presont city hall. Doubt- less the consent ot J, M. Pattee could bé obtained and the cost would be trifling. Tuk Onaua Bee was the only pa- in the state of Nebraska that la- red to convince its readers that Conkling and other stalwart republi- cans had something to do with the at- tompted assassination of President (i\u ald‘.] I;gumu_ded .(:.nl);":; more thorough| i’ A ors, — Lhu«h{ Gl uba.““.un“ The Globe shows the effect of it’s change of management by following in the wake of the rest of the monopoly swall-fry and sneezing whenever the Lincoln Journa/ and Omaha Republtgan take snufl. It's editor knows very well that Tux Bem never connected Conkling, Arthur or the stalwarts with the attempted assassination of President Garfield. In quoting Guiteau's words it did insist, however, that the at- tack on the president was the legitimate outgrowth of ths> war which had been made by stalwart leaders on General Garfield, and that the deed would never have been com- mitted but for that war. In this opinion Tae Bre was upheld by every leading journal of the country from the Springfield Republican in Massa- chusetts to the San Francisco Chron- icle on the Pacific coast. — This city needs a workhouse, The grand army of tramps and bummers are being fed and cared for at the city's expense and they ought to be made self-sustaining. The city could even afford to make them a small al- lowance above their board and lodg- ing that would enable them to subsist for a few days after their discharge or pay their transportation to some other place. A workhouse could be cheaply con- structed and need not necessarily be of fire-proof materia We simply need a large yard where rock can be landed directly by the cars and where men can be under shelter, rain or shine, summer or winter, while break- ing rock. Broken rock can always be utijized on our strects, and will in fact be in demand more and more from year to year —not so much for the bus- iness streets that are bound to be paved as for the suburbs where the periodical washouts render unpaved stroots impassable, S —— Tue Lincoln Globe, which made a very gallant fight against the abuses and extortions of railway corporations last winter, and was rapidly gaiming friends among the producers in the South Platte country, was bought last week by a stool pigeon of the monopolies. Having effectually silenced the anti monopoly batterics of the Globe, its new proprietors, whose name has as yet not appeared at the masthead, are showing their true colors by repro- ducing an article agamst the new railroad law written by a Union Pa- cific stool-pigeon of western Nebraska. We apprehend the patrons of the @lobe—if there are any still left— cannot be deceived by such chaff any moro than the people of Lincoln can be made to believe that the man who edits that sheet is a free agent. Tue mints of the United States coined 8106,788,041 of money during the past year, an increase of $22,000,- 000 over the preceeding fiscal year. And yet the rural editors are calling for wood to be taken on account of subscriptions, Coxxkuing didn’t follow the example of Chauncey Depew by withdrawing from the Senatorial race for the sake of party harmony. He still persists in his dog in the manger policy. Prohibition in Kansas. St. Louis Glebo- Democrat. Kansas appears to be in a very un- comfortable stew over her experiment at prohibition. The friends of the measure, headed by Governor St. John, proclaim that it is a success, and is being enforced all over the state, except in three or four towns where the municipal authorities are ““in league with the rum sellers. ’ The opponents of the law, on the contra- ry, with ex-Governor Robinson at tf‘\’eir head, declare that it is not effec- tive anywhere save in the remote ru- ral districts, and that liquor is openly and constantly sold on every llumd. To make the issue still warmer, it is charged that the prohibition outery is driving all the foreign immigrants away from Kansas to Missouri and other states; and Governor St. John retorts that, while the foreigners are |} avoiding the state, other immigrants of an ‘“‘improved character” are com- ing in, “‘and consequently the state is the gainer, as everybody can see.” and were a deal better in localities where they lacked the popular sym- pathy and support. ‘e apprehend that such is the case in Kansas. 1t is useless at this day to scout the fact that sumptuary laws are not lcoked upon by peovle in general with the same respect thai is accorded to other laws. There is something in human nature which instinctively resents le- gal interference with personal liberty in such matters. It 1ay be that time and education and the moral elevation of the masses will change this; but a game of chess must be played with the men on the board, and an experiment at prohibition must take people as it finds them, The truth regarding the enforce- ment of the law probably lies between the two extremes. We observe in the Kansas papers that slits are brought almost daily in the principal towns for violation of the law, some- times resulting in conviction and sometimes in discharge- the verdict depending, we are inclined to juage, upon which side of the question gets the jury, rather than upon the nature of the testimony. This phase of tem- r:nnoe by statute is not peculiar to ansas. It old story repeating itself. The general experience, we believe, in efforts at enforcing prohib- itory liquor laws has been that they . operate with reasonable success in localities where the preponderance of public senti- ment was heavily in its favor, 1t is unfortunate for the cause of prohibition, as weil as that of ordin- ary temperance, that this Kansas law was mu!s 80 excessively, and 1 some respects so ridiculously sweeping and stringent. A moderate law, hav no appearance of bigotry or vindic- tiveness, could probably have been made generally and beneficially ope- rative. Buch a law would at least have commanded the respect and won the co-operation of thousand of sober men and good citizens who opposed the prohibition policy, But instead of this, resort washad to the fanat- ical and impracticable theory that the Ilaw cures evorything ir made strong enough, and all other considerations were sunk in the one purpose of framing a statute so rigid and comprehensive that it could not be escaped or evaded. The result is that the ultra prohibitionists only can be counted upon to sustain and pro- mote the experiment, and the great body of moderate temperance men and people who would be glad to see prohibition faitly and thoroughly tried are compelled to stand aloof or to give the movement only a passive support. The frignds of the measure, we notice, are already beginning to call for further legislation, which may be regarded as a good sign. Perhaps by the time the legislature convenes, the effects of the present law will have be- come 8o patent and 8o convincing that wiser and more prudent counsels will cause the substitution of something which, if not so radical and sweeping, will at any rate compel popular re- spect and insure a substantial gain for temperance, Until then, it is sate to prmlict, the present conflict will go on as it has begun, the lawyers reap- ing the priucipal advantages. Mormon Recruits. 8t. Louis Republican, The other day a vessel arrived at New York with 800 Mormon converts, recruited chiefly from Denmark, Swe- den and Norway. They consisted of men, women and children, drawn mostly from the peasant class, who had doubtless consented to emigrate from their homes to better their tem- poral condition, rather than from any decp conviction of religious duty. Mormonism in this country recruits from Europe at the of about two such ship loads a year, and the New York payers are troubled about the immi- gration whenever a cargo of converts arrives, and they say that this relig- ious traftic in bodies and souls oucht to be stopped somehow; but how? The Mormon church has deposited in the Bank of England a large mis- sionary fund to send their preachers out proselyting, and to transport their proselytes to the prom- ised land of Utah, They take good care of their converts from the time they catch them until they land them at Salt Lake City, and there is noth- ng unlawful about that, After they get there they are subject to the laws of the l’nitmfsmtcs, and if they com- mit a crime they have a right of trial by jury, according to the American jury system. If in Utah, one or more of the twelve happen to be Mormons, the system is responsible, and proba- bly Utah juries come as near to jus- tice as juries do in other places wlere religious matters are involved in their findings. But the arrival of Mormon recruits two or three times a year are reminders that there is a pending Mormon question, which, as Mormon- ism spreads and strengthens, becomes more and more difficult of solution.
