WE all know that Omahais “:admar- ably adapted for sewerage.” We have been told it a hundred times, if once, What we need, and must have, is less theory and more sewerage, Arrnoucn the heat has been exces- swve in Omaka the number of sun- strokes has been very small when compared with other cities in propor- tion to population. Cincinnati, from July 10 to July 16, inclusive, reports 261 deaths from sunstroke and eighty- six in a single day. Eripemic lockjaw seems to have been the result of the celebration of the Fourth of July. In Baltimore alone, thirteen boys between the ages of 13 and 16 years, have died from lockjaw, resulting from wounds re- ceeived from toy pistols. And it wasn't a very lively Fourth of July, Ttis a startling commentary on the lawlessness of a state which pretends to civilization when seven men can board a train in a thickly settled por- tion of the country and hold pos- sossion of overy car while two men are murdered and the passengers’ pockets rifled. Such a deed would be impossibie father cast, and the easy method of its' accomplishment is a crying dis- beng grace to Missouri and a stigma upon its citizens. The Winston robbery brings up the | question whether armed guards on | the trains traversing through Mis- | effectual preventive of such crimes. Tf it were | well understood that the cry of “hands up!” would be promptly met by a volley of bullets at the head of souri would not prove an the would-be Dick Turpin, the number of attempted train rob- bories would be likely to hecomo greatly lessened. Every effort should now be made to capture the perpetra- tors ot the desperate deed, and when once captured the nearest telegraph pole should be at once called into re- quisition to save the law’s delays. Tue election of Warner Miller to tho New York senatorship and the probable election of Mr. Lapham as the successor of Ex-Senator Conkling causes considerable speculation upon the effect which the choice of these gentlemen, who are members-elect of the next house, will have upon the or- ganization of that body and the elec- tion of a speaker. After the elections of last fall the membership was esti- mated as follows: Total ropresentatives, 203; republicans, 147; democrats, 136, greenbackers, 9; in- dependents, 1. The independent is J. Hyatt Smith, ot Brooklyn, who will vote for the republican candidate for speaker., Mr. Fry was elected sena- tor to succeed Mr. Blaine, and the vacancy has not been filled. There are or will be four vacancies in New York, three of which were filled by republicans, v Messrs. Morton, Miller and Lapham. No election has been ordered in the Ninth district, where the vacancy was caused by the death of Fernando Wood. If, as is asserted, the successors to Messrs. Miller and Lapham cannot be elected and qualify in time to take their seats December 1, the green- backers will hold the balanceof power. The democrats profess great confi- dence in their ability to elect a suc- cessor to Mr. Morton, and the loss of one vote would be seriously felt. The democrats, however, are believed to be reckoning without their host in placing any reliance upon Greenback votes. It is hardly possible for the greenbackers to unite upon any candi- date of their own for speaker, and the four Missouri greenbackers—Hazel- tine, Rice, Ford and Burrows—have announced their intention of voting with the republicans, number of Tae railway passenger war among the eastern trunk lines is assuming lively proportions, and tickets from New York to Chicago are selling at less than half the usual prices. Knowing dealers in railway stocks de- clare that the movement comes from the Vanderbilt camp in order to *‘bear” the stocks of certain trunk lines which he is anxious to get hold of. At the same time, Mr. Vander- bilt, fearing the competition which the Pennsylyania Central might force upon him, denies vigorously that he is in any way responsible for the beginning of the war, He appreciates the fact that in case of open cutting of rates it would be ut- terly impossible for the New York Central to compete cither in speed or expense with the Pennsylvania road which owns its own lines from New York to Chicago, There is not, after either, Ir is reported thut Mr. Vander- bilt will devote to benevolent ubjects all of Maud 8.'s earuings on the turf this season, If Mr. Vanderbilt would devote some of ill-gotten wealth to refunding a portion of the money stolen from stockholders and swindled producers along his railways it would be much more to the point, ———— Tue death of Dean Stanley removes from the Church of England a scholar of more than ordinary learning and a churchman of more than ordinary breadth of character. In his own words, he alwuys ‘“strove te make ‘Westminster Abbey a great center of religious and national life” and this he did without regard to the narrow limi- tations of creed. Eessmw—— Tue robbery of the Rock Island train near Winston, Mo., by a gang of seven desperadoes, and the cow- ardly murder of the conductor and an inoffensive passenger, is one of the most dastardly and deplorable deeds in the criminal annals of the country. There seems little reason to doubt that the crime was concocted and put into execution by the James gang, which for years have eluded detection and defied pursuit throughthe friendly offices of their Missouri neighbors. The section of country in which the deed was committed is koown to be infested with such ruffisns and it is a disgrace to Missouri that they have ot long since been hunted trom their hiding places and brought to justice, all as much money lost by these cuts as people generally imagine, It costs nine-tenths of a cent per mile to trans- port passengers on eastern roads so that even at the present rate, $9, there is a profit, —_— WENDELL Puiiuies, radical in all things, has been soverely censured by soveral New England papers for up- holding nilulism. Some papers even went 80 far as to impute to him sym- pathy with the attempted assassina- tion of President Garfield. And now the Boston T'ravetler comes to the de- fense of Wendell Phillips in the follow- ing pointed articl ““Wendell Phillips has never preached assassination in Awmerica, and we venture to believe he never will. And it is grossly unjust to our own country, extremely unfair to the nihilists, and far to generous to Guit- eau, to draw any analogy between the shooting of President ~Garfield and the killing of Czar Alexander, When we turn Alaska into a Siberia, and send our young men by the thou- sand into exile for exercising the right of free discussion; when we strip young girls and flog them to death in the public squares of New York and Boston; when we suppress newspapers, confiscate rriminu presses, shut up the public halls, and put a ball and chain on cverimm’l tongue, it will be time enough to tell us that there is the same excuse for assassination here a in Russia,” — THe city waterworks company have encountered many serious obstacles in the construction of thelr works. An early and severe winter prevented the laying o{ water pipes and the floods of the spring submerged the plateau | the works will be in upon which their engine house and wottling reservoirs were located. Asa consequence the company were unable to fulfill their promise to supply Oma- ha with water for fire hydrants by the first of July. An extension to No- vember first is asked __for by the company, which will doubtless be granted, but the council very properly deferred action on this mat- ter until the city attorney can draw up a logal ordinance that will protect the interests of the city while gianting the.prayer of the company. Unless some unforeseen accident happens, there is no doubt now that full operation much earlier than the first of Novem- ber. Sran gazers and comet hunters are havirng a high old time this year. An- other comet has put in an appearance. This one is not visible to vulgar eyes, like our long tailed visitor that is sup- posed to have been split in the mid- dle. Only high toned aristocrats arm- ed with costly telescopes and operaglass es enjoy the privilege of viewing the latest comet. Like all high-flyers this newcomet is reported to haye a rather stately mo- tion, This is the fourth comet dis- covered since May 1, which shows that thisis a very good season for these erratic visitors. The fact that four have been seen, not to speak of those that have not been seen, ought to be reassuring to those persons who still cling to the old superstition that s a sign, if not a cause, of some impending notable human ca- a comel lamity. In the old days some connection might have been im- agined between the recent vis- ible comet which is now rapidly fading away and the shooting of the president, but that the sky should be full of comets, so to speak, in order to presage or produce the calamity at Washington, dreadful as it was, is putting a greater strain upon the superstitious theory, than it would have been able to bear, even in the days when it had some acceptance. The most that can be said of this new visitor, is that it will furnish more business for our astronomers, and larger ground for comparison in the very interesting study of these lawless vagabonds of the sky. WarNer MiLLer, who was elected by the New York legislature as United States senator in place of Thomas C. Platt, is said by New York politicians, to be a man of more than ordinary force of character and political sagac- ity. His friends claim that he has great taste and aptitude for political management, and has had a remark- able career of success in New York. He made Mr. Bloan speaker, carried the organization of the state senate against the machine, was most active in making Mr. James postmaster- general, and has been the chief man- ager in the movement to place Frank Hiscock in the speaker’s chair of the house. While not a brilliant and showy man, he possesses solid quali- ties which will make him a useful senator and a skillful leader. His loyalty to the republican party has al- ways been unquestioned. Tue Post-Dispatch remarks that the ruling passion of the American, whether in jail or out, is politics, This fact was illustrated in the Clin- ton (N. Y.) penitentiary on Thursday last, when a convict named Henry King brained a fellow prisoner, Mich- ael Hamilton, in a quarrel over the stalwart and half-breed difficulty at Albany, King is a Conkling man through ‘and through, and although the discussion was a heated one he ap- pears to have convinced the other man in the end. Argument is a powerful means of swaying people in a free government, especially if it is pointed with an axe. If the unconvicted con- victs at Albany possessed the force of character and elan of the convicted convicts at Clinton, the dead-lock would have ended long ago, AMERICAN workingmen and more especially American mechanics need not be alarmed by the great influx of foreign imuiigrants to America. The New York commussioner of emigra- tion who has made a careful classifica- tion of the occupation of immigrants reports very few skilled mechanics have reached this country during the present season. Most of theenormous immigration this year has been ticket- od through to the far west and to Toxas. Most of these people belong to the agricultural class and intend to settle on farms, S— AccorpING to the New York Evening Post, ex-Senator Hitcheock, of Nebraska, was not, as has been erroneously reported, a classmate of President Garfield at Williams college, but was graduated one year before hiw, in 1865, The Boston Post says that Senator Hitchcock and Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, were classmates and room-mates, and even in their college days their senatorial ambition had developed, and there was quite a spirit of emulation as to which should first secure the prize. Hitcheock was elected senator in 1871, and Ingalls two years later, The Railroad and the People, San Francisco Chronicle. There is abundant evidence that the time is close at hand when an over- whelming popular opinion will render it necessary Bm the just relations of railroads to the public shall be accu- rately defined by appropriate legisla- tion. Some of the chieF]minu of dif- ference between the people and the railroad manngers are the following: First—The people hold that the charges for transportation shall be ‘‘reasonable,”” and based mainly upon the cost of service; while the railway managers insist upon acting on the principle of charging “all the traflic will bear,” Second—The railway managers jus- tify the practice of charging discrimi- nating rates in furtherance of their in- terests, that is of charging low rates to some shippers and of exacting high rates from others, where the cost of the service is the same in both cases, in order to develop business in certain favored localities; whereas the pen}vlc claim that it is dangerous to the rights of citizens to permit therailroad man- agers to discriminate at their pleasure in favor ofcertain localities and against others, Third—The railroad managers just- ify the practice of contributing money as campaign funds, and otherwise to obtain political influence by which they may control elections and obtain influence with legislative bodies; while the people regard this as a pernicious and demoralizing practice, }oading to venality and corruption in office, Fourth—The railroad managers claim that their business is one so pe- culiar, 80 complex, and differing 8o es- sentially from every other kind of bus- iness, that outsiders cannot under- stand it, that legislators cannot deal with it farly and wisely, and that none but railroad officials are compe- tent to determine the justice of charges for transportation, or the ne- cessity for discrimination in such charges; while the people insist that railrond companies, being common car- riers and exercising a public function, ought to be supervised and regulated in the interest of the public, just as banks and insurance companies are supervised and regulated. or several years these questions have been extensively discussed, both in England and the United States. In England a system of regulation by railroad commissioners has been adopted, somewhat similar to that provided in our constitution, and it is said to work satisfactorily. In sever- al of the states of the Union there has been a good deal of legislation on this subject, mostly of a tentative charac- ter. In Massachusetts and Illinois railroad commissions have been created with good results. In New York and several other states attempts are now being made in the same direction. When called upon to give their views before legislative committees, the rep- resentatives of the railroads have not, except in rare instances, undertaken to deny that discriminations are made. On the contrary, they admit that they are made up system and asa business necessity, offering various more or less plausible explanations of such alleged necessity. Only a short time since the public was amazed by an equally frank avowal made by a great California railroad magnate, to the effect that the railway power had been forced to go into politics, and to attempt to influence legislatures as the only means of protecting itself against dangerous aggression. Noth- ing was wanting to complete the honesty and truthfulness of this ad- mission, except to include the courts of justice among the bodies that the rail- roads had been compelled by the law of self-protection to attempt to in- tluence. So far as California is concerned we already have all that need be asked for in the way of constitutional pro- visions and legislative enactments. Article XTI of our Constitutional cov- ers the whole ground. Section 17 de- clares all railroad and transportation companies to be common carriers and subject to legislative control. Section 20 prohibits pooling combinations. Section 21 declares: ‘‘Nodiscrimina- tion in charges of facilities for trans- portation shall be made by any rail- road or other transportation company between places or persons,” ete. Section 22 provides for a Board of Railroad Commissioners with ample wers for cor- recting every abuse or injustice in railroad management that has been or mn{ be complained of. Ay one who will read that section will puzzled to suggest any needful power that is withheld}from the commissioners. If abuses still exist in this State, if just complaints against the railroads for diseriminations between persons and fluen are still unheeded, it is not the ault of the constitution or the laws, ‘Warm Words from the South, [From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.) We know a little girl—the daugh- ter of a confederate ofticor who fought through the war—who, upon being told last Sunday morning that the president was still alive, quietly re- plied: “I know it. I prayed last night that he might live.” The child had prayed with faith, and was certain her Hn\yur would be answered. This Sunday morning there is every indi- cation that the president will be spared to his family and to the country, but to the stricken man—to fair faced wife and white-haived mother—~the south, standing in the shadow of great trou- bles of her own, still sends forth her sympathy. (From the Richmond (Va.) Despateh.] We all foel as if a personal wrong had been done to us—as if he were bone to our bone and flesh to our flesh that was basely assaulted in Washing- ton. [From the New Orleans Democrat.) We feet safe in saying that our peo- ple, one and all, echo the aspiration that Mr. Garfield may be brought safely through the great and terrible peril which has overtaken him. His incumbency had been accepted by the south in all faith and contentment; and his rule was looked to witha thousand warm and pleasant hopes. [From the Columbia (8. C.) Register.) In the present sad case the South feels an unselfish sorrow, and we have ourselves been surprised at the uni- versality of feeling existing even among the least ‘‘reconstructed” of our peo- &Ie. 1t is possible now for President arfield to say with full heart and lmnu!,. manly unot'i:wun,h“bet‘ul have peace.” And we will have it—peace with all our borders. The South will meet the North more than half way toward ‘‘this consummation so devout- ly to be wished.” (From the Fouston (Tex.) Post.] The representative quality of the office is transferred to the man, and by it he is ennobled and endeared to the popular heart, [Prom the Athens (Ga.) Banner.] The regret of the southern people is as sincere as it is universal. If the president could know the solicitude among the southern people about his condition, as evidenced by their al- most constant conversation and their unceasing inquiries it would soothe him like an anodyne. Tt is to be hop- ed that he will know it. Tt will show him the true feelings of this section, and convince him that the South feels as much interest as the North in peace and good government; it will show him that we recognize our interest in the federal head of the people,and that wecons.derourselves as greatly afflicted as those of his own party, in his mis- fortune. (From the Rome (Ga.) Courler.] The country now seems to be united a8 it never was before, and this severe disaster to the president has drawn the whole people of the countryaround and in deep sympathy with him, and if happily he should survive, he will hardly have hereafter during his term a thought, but that his duty is to the people of the whole country, and with- out regard to party. (From the Charleston (8. C.) News and Courier.] We hazard nothing in saying that the restored president will be the most popular man in the country, and the people can be confident that the in- tluence his popularity gives him will be used for the general good. If the president’s life be spared there will be compensation, indeed, for the sorrow- ing and peril of the last week (From the Selma (Ala.) Tin The south had not realized until Saturday what a satisfactory adminis- tration President Gartield’s had been 80 far. Until it contemplated a change from it to Arthur and Conkling, it did not know how much it appreciated the former. Press Comment. Inter Ocean, “Peace hath her victories no less re- nowned than war,” and it may be added that women have their victories no less renowned than men, Mrs. Garfield has had one such since the murderous attack upon her husband. Her lofty and serene courage has in- spired every one about her, and if the president’s life is spared nobody can doubt that, next to his own indomit- able bravery, no one cause will con- tribute more to that end than the true womanly fortitude of his wife. Her intelligent devotion has touched the hearts of the American people, and the touch has been so genuine that it reached to the puckets. The sub- seription for the benefit ot Mrs. Gar- field and her children is a tribute such as few women indeed have had or deserved. Tt 1s in some sort a national recoguition of the fact that the lady of the White House has shown to the country a sort of woman that is worthy to be a president’s wife. Springfleld Republican. Protest against the proposed $250,- 000 %iie to the Garfield family contin- ues throughout the country, and some newspapers which welcomed the sub- scription as an evidence of popular de- votion to the chief officer of the nation are taking a sober second thought. The Republican is in receipt of many letter indorsing its presentation of the imprt:{mety of sucha gift in view of President Garfield’s probable recov- ery, The New York chamber of com- merce is left in a ridiculous plight in view of the dispatch sent last week by its secretary to Postmaster-General James announcing that that organiza- tion had decided to present Mrs. Gar- field with $250,000." Cyrus W. Field has been telegraphing and writing ap- peals all over the country for help in making up the sum which New Yorkers were reported ready to tender. ‘Widows and children are sending their mites for the man who gets a salary of $50,000 a year, and this whole spectacle of begging for the president of the United States is unseemly. There is a vast difference between giv- ing for yellow fever sufferers and drawing out hard-earned dollars for an independent and self-respecting family. If the president recovers he will have a difficult and somewhat un- gracious duty to perform in refusing this gush money. Boston Journal, This whole business of presidential gifts, whether as regards the Grant fund or the Garfield subscription, we do not like. It invests the railroad kings and other moneyed magnates with a kind of influence which we can- not regard with favor. The Going of the Utes Globe-Democrat, The people of Colorado are growing restive under the delay attending the removal of the Ute Indians from that State. And no wonder. Already, a large portion of the summer has been idly frittered away by the commssion- ers—at $10 a day each, and traveling expenses —and the Indians have mean- while amused themselves with fre- quent murder, and kept the whole western part of the State terrorized. Six or eight weeks from now, winter weatherwill begin to visit that locality, and then all hope of Indian removal will have to be abandoned until next year. The necessity is a pressing one. If the Utes are to go before the snow falls, there is no time to be wasted; andj certainly Tthere is no serious obstacle in the way of carrying out the plan of the removal one time as well as another, It is not Colorado aloae that is in- terested in this question. The whole country, and particularly the whole west, is more or less aflected by it. There are speciul considerations in this case which distinguish it from ordi- nary transactions of the kind. The Utes unfortunately oceupy a position which makes them a constant menace not only to public peace and personal safety, but to the prosecution and growth of a great industry. ''helands they occupy are worthless for agricul- tural purposes, but rich'in mineral indications, and so located as to make it essential that a forbidding and hos- tile element shall not provail there. 1t is not merely a question of opening these lands to white settlement; it is also and chiefly a question of protec- ting settlements made on neighboring lands. he entire western border of Colorado--the most valuable mineral scope in the world, rhaps—is beset with daily danger so ong as the Utes are just across the line, ready and eager to seize upon the the slightest pretext for massacre. Tt is not necessary to recall the terrible instances which have made this fact so clear that government can not disre- gard it without justifying crime and bringing reproach upon the national good name. Red tape is but another name for a trail of blood in that region. There is no room, either, in this controversy for the everlasting cant about Indians wrongs, The only point involved is that of executing a con- tract; and the contract is one which, 8o faras the Utes are concerned, is open_only to the objection of being too liberal. They are to receive other lands in exchange for the present ones, at any rate of one-half of a sec- tion to each head of a family and one- fourth of a section to each unmarried person and each orphan child or other person under 18 years of age—all in fee simple and free for twenty-five years from taxation or decree of court; and in addition they are to have a cash bonus sufficient to produce the sum of $50,000 annually, to be dis- tributed to them per capita each year forever. Besides this, the govern- ment; is to maintain schools among them, and to furnish them with houses, wagons, tools, stock cattle and saw and grist mills. In short, we are to place them in a condition superior to that ever attained by the majority of white men: and they, on their part, simply undertake to step out of the way of cwilization, and permit white people to develop the resources of the country in safety, and ander laws in- viting and encouraging them to ‘go west.” Itis a shame that these worthless and murderous savages have been suf- fered to harass the Colorado border 80 long. Their presence has unques- tionably defeated and retarded mining operations to an extent that has touch- ed the prosperity of the entire coun- try. It is safe to say that but for the Indian troubles of the last two years, the silver product of Colorado would have been doubled; and that would have been justso many millions added to the available wealth of the United States. This is a simply cold-blooded and selfish, though highly important, view of the matter, and leaves out of sight the personal risks and perils, the narrow escapes and sudden bloody deaths of those brave fellows who haunt the lofty fastnesses and hang about the dizzy edges of precipices in search of the hidden treasure, “‘like those who gather samphire—dreadful trade.” There is something due to these men, some excuse to be made for their well-known hatred of In- dians. They have studied the Indian problem under circumstances that come directly home to men, and it has made them radicals; but who shall say that they do not know what they are talking about? Ts not their judgment more trustworthy than that of the down-east dilettante who neversaw an Indian save a wooden one standing in front of a cigar store? It is true in this, as in everything else, that an ounce of experience is worth a pound of idle and morbid theorizing. The Utesshould go, and they should stand not upon the order of their going, but got at once. The commis- sioners have a soft thing, to be sure, in their $10 a day and expenses, and we can sympathize with their desire to hang on until they exhaust the ap- propriation;but the matter is too grave for delay and trifling. The removal can be effected in thirty days, witha proper application of energy and good sense. It has been nearly ecighteen months now since the agreement was pertected and ratified; all the prelimi- naries have certainly been scttled by this time, and there is no decent reason why the procession should be kept waiting a day longer. The mat- ter is not, we repeat, a merely local one; it concerns the whole country. The people of Colorado being im- mediately and so vitally interested, are very properly loudest in their com- plaints, but their feeling is shared, they may be sure, throughout the west and by all who have a realizing sense of the situation. We hope the racket will be kept up until the Utes are started on their winding way to some remote and inaccessible quarter, where the tide of white progress will never be likely to reach them, and where, if they must scalp and kill and pillage they will be obliged 1o exercise their devilish ingenuity upon one another.
