ANp now the paragraphers are get- ting ready to remark that Orow killed old Spot without caws. Srrrive Bunn in a late interview said: ‘“The newspaper speaks the truth.” Sitting Bull had never seen & oopy of the Omaha Republican, — Minsesora’s wheat crop exceeds last year's by 1,484,866 bushels, and will grade number one, Nebraska will wager her corn against Minnesota's wheat, and give odds.

Cor. Dantess, the Bourbon candi- date for, governor of Virginia, is in favor of paying 3 per cent interest on the state debt, if it requires the burn- ing down of every school house in the state. Daniels belioves in honesty be- fore education. Mgs. GARFIELD is not a woman suffragist. In a recent letter she wrote;: ‘‘It is not the kind of work at all, but the way in which and the spirit m which we do it that dignifies and ennobles a woman's life.” Mus, CGarfield will never get the votes of Nebraska's long haired men and short haired women for president. New Yorxk favmers hold a conven- tion in Utica on the 18th inst, ‘‘to consider whether our government is to continue & government of the peo- ple, for the people, by the people, or whether itis to be a government of corporations, by corporations, for the benefit of a favored fow.” If the railroads had their way they would exilo and execute all such *‘howiug Tur late Mr. Fargo left a precious cargo for Lis sisters, cousins, aunts and nearer relatives.

Tue Omnha Fepublican’s remark that it has greater circulation in the South Platte than The Jowrnal and The Democrat combined is referred to Mr. Rosewater. Unloss that active nowspaper man is a liar of unearthly proportions The Journa’ has » larger circulation in tho city of Lincoln alone than The Republican has in all the stato outside of Omaha. Theless The Repubtican says about circulation the botter, — Lincoln Jowrnal, That active newspaper man knows what he is talking about and The Jowrnal iy perfectly safo in offering The Republican heavy odds on com- parative circulations south of the Platte. Tur extension of the Sioux City & Pacific road from Neligh to O'Neil, which takes place next Monday, opens up an conlarged field for trade to Omaha merchants, Owing to the difliculty of access, the people of northern Nebraska have heen virtu- ally cut off from ebmmunication and warkets with the souihern portion of the state, and both sections have been the losors, Omaha’s loss has been Bioux City's gain, and business which shbuld have sought Nebraska's com- wercis metropolis has been trans- ferved across the river to Towa. On the other hand the people of northern |* Nebraska have been debarred of the benefits of competition in trade and social intercourse with other portions of the state. The opening of the 8ibux Oity & Pacific road to Neligh, and the close connectiona made at Blair by the 8t. Paul & Omaha line will bring O'Neil City and the adjacent country within a day's nide of Omaha. THE GENEROUS MONOPOLIES According to the Omaha Republican, the monopolies of Nebraska are about to treat the people of this state to an exhibition of generosity which should | forever silence all opposition and dis content against railrond abuses. Teachers attending educational insti tutes are to be carried on their lines for half fare, Excursions to the sol- | diers’ reunion at Lincoln next month are to be given reduced transportation rates, and to cap the climax of unex- ampled generosity 25,000 people “‘scat- tered over the plains of the garden state of the west” are to be transport- ed to the state fair at Omaha at half fare rates. It is doubtful whether the citizens of Nebraska will enthuse very greatly over this news which causes such sen- sations of joy in the monopoly organs, In the first place, half fare in Ne- braska is more than full fare in many other states, and a reduction in tariff for mpecial occasions, when the re- duced tariff still affords ample ro- muneration to the companies, will not strike our people as being particularly gonerous on the part of the corpera- tions, In the next place, every one under- stands that the reason reduced pas- senger rates are given to excursions is to induce larger traffic and to cor- respondingly increase the profits of the corporations. Experience has taught railroad managers that more than twice as many people will travel to attend a celebration where the fare is two cents a mile than would make the journey if the regular ex- orbitant four-cents-per-mile rates were maintained. The reduction made by the Union Pacific and B, & M. rail- roads to attendants upon our teachers’ institutes, soldiers' reunions and state fairs wore not made for the benefit of the people, but solely in view of at- tracting a larger number of passen- gers to their lines and to that extent increasing the profits of transporta- tion, The opvortunity to reduce fares and increase receipts may be a cause of congratulation to railway officials, but wo can see no reason why the people of Nebraska should o down on their knees and thank the companies for helping to fill their own coffers. They should leave this duty to the subsi- dized monopoly organs. THE RIGHT OF ASYLUM. The correspondence betwoen the department of state and the attorney of Leo Hartmann regarding ¢he pos- sible extradition of the Nihilist upon the request of the Russian gcvern- ment is an interesting study for all Americans who do not believe in the abridgment of the right of asylum for political offenders. 1t has always Leen the policy of the United States to construe the right of asylum very broadly and the duty of extraditing criminals very narrowly. Born hrough thethroesofapolitical revolution, which if unsuccessful, would have resulted in the exocution of those leaders which are now the nation’s herees, the foun- ders of the republic have constantly refused to consider political offenses against foreign powers a crime and have sheltered on ourshores hundreds of political fugitives from foreign lands. In respect to common crim- inals it possesses extradition treatics with a number of European nations by which, upon proper proof, it sur- renders their prisoners to the proper authorities, but even with such govern- ments that class of offenders, whose only crimes are of a revolutionary nature, are not included under the provisions of the treaties of oxtra- dition. No pelicy of our government has been befter settled than that in the absence of a treaty no power ex- ists for the delivery of a fugitive toa foreign government, and even with the existence of extradition political offenders aro distinetly excluded from its provisions, It is difficult to un- derstand on what grounds then the state department assumes that it would be its duty, “if called upon, 10 deliver Hartmann nto the hands of the Ruseian government. Leav- ing, nside the political nature of the offonse with which he is charged we cannot see how, as a common crim- inal, his extradition is possible in the absence of any extradition treaty be- tween this government and Russia. But when the circumstances of the case are taken into consideration and the refusal of other and less liboral nations to surrender uo the Nihilist loader is reviewed the position of the state department becomes still more difficult of explanation, When Switzerland, France and England in- terpose to shield from his pursuers a political refuges, whose life hds been staked on the issue of his party con- victions, the United States would be more than demeaning herself in the eyes of the nations if she yielded to a popalar elamor, and belied her pro- fossions of the past by refusing to furnish an asylum of refuge to an exiled political fugitive, The assistant secretary of state enunciates the doctrine that there can be no distinction made between the criminal who murders a peasant and the political conspirator who plots to assassinate a king This doctrine is at variance with established precedent among all civilized nations. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln was the work of a conspiracy. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. All the ascessories to the plot «f Wilkes Booth were equally guilty of treason and murder. But when John Surratt, one of these accessories, crossed the ocean he became a political | exile, and even the Pope, who was then the temporal sovereign of the [ papal states, refused to surronder him., Surratt was subsequentiy kid- napped, carried away to a United States war ship and brought back to America. More recently Sitting Bull, who murdered General Custer and hundred of our soldiers, British soil in pretext several sought refuge on Canada, and the mere that the Indians are an independent nation within this republic, was deemed sufficient to make him a poli- tical exile and insure his protection under the British flag. If the doc- trine promulgated by Mr. Blaine's assistant secretary had been engrafted upon the international code, it is questionable whether any of the illus- trious refugees from foreign lands who sought refuge on our soil could have found an asylum in Ameri- ca. Among these conspirators against the lives of rulers by treasonable revo- lution were such men as Garibaldi, Kossuth, Louis Napoleon, Rochefort, Head Centre Stephens, John Dillon Michkael Davitt, and even Carl Schurz. PresipENT GARFIELL'S attempted assassination is likely to bring several important questions before congressiat its next seasion. The first subject to which that body should give its atten- tion is that of the expenses of the president’s sickness. General Gar- field received his wound in the dis- charge of public duties and because he held the position of chief executive of the nation. His sickness has been long protracted and the expenses will without doubt run up into the thousands, Six physicians in constant attondance for over a month cannot be expected to work for nothing. For this reason and to remove the necessity of the president’s considering for a moment the accoptance of Mr. Field's sub- scription paper it is to be hoped that congress will provide liberally for his sick-room exponses. When it has done this immediate steps should be taken for putting the White House in a healthy condition and for draining the Kidwell flats along the Potomac. It has long been known that the president’s house was un- healthy and imperfectly drained, and that its rear windows looked out on a miasmatic marsh, but nothing short of a president lying long at the point of death and suffering from the unhealthy conditions of his residence has ap- peared to bring Congress to the point of appropriating money to cure these evils, For sublime cheek, the editor of the Omaha Republican is without & rival in America. ~ With bravado on his livs and the Union Pacific brass collar on his neck— this man with the adamantine cheek makes the following bombastic declaration: “If the time shall ever come when we shall be re- quired or expected to forego our own opinions, political or otherwise, at the dictation or request of any railroad manager, wo shall quit the business and seck some occupation, however humble, in which we can at least cherish a becoming and manly self- respect.” Indeed! And why, we pray, did you forego your pretended preference for General VanWyck and advocate the re-olection of Paddock? Or was your pretonded preference for Van- Wyck only a delusion and a snare and your championship of Paddock the honest expression of your political preference! And why does Mr, Kim- ball's man Friday deny his own mas- ter, who brought him to Omaha, placed him in the editorial chair and had his name enrolled on the U. P, employes pay roll? Do railroad man- agers hire men to edit corporation papers unless they are willing to fore- go their own opinions, write what their masters dictate and suppress whatever they do not desire made public? Tug effects of the president’s illness in allaying party feeling and healing sectional woundsis particularly marked in the south, Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, who in 18706 urged the capture of Washington in the interest of Tilden and the democracy, uses the following expres- sive languago in speaking of General Garfield’s sickness; At this moment the United States, waiting the recovery of the president ~—attending, as it Were, state by state, the sick bed at the White House —are an ideal republic, and form a united people, bet” ~ Everybody is a Garfield man; for the time-bearing all party feeling stands in abeyance; we are all Amer- ican; we love our country and we love one another, While this man’s life, who is the representative of us all, is in the balance, all of us are brothers. Should not this teach us the folly of Ennymnl Should it not liberalize us¢ hould it not make us, as citizens, more kindly in differences of opinion one to another? Sexaror Epmusps is said to be booked for a place on the supreme bench when President Garfield ap- points successors to Clifford and Hunt, Senator Edmunds is an invalusble wan 1o the senate, He is of all other | ber May we not say “‘this is as it should | men the ablest and most inv ulnerable opponent of corporate monopolies in that body. It will be an irreparable loss to the country to have him with- drawn from the senate and the only conrolation is that just such a man is needed on the supreme bench. —_—— A aoon deal of interest is mani- fested by distillers, brewers and liquor dealers, as well as by the temperance | agitators, in the test cases now being argued before the state supreme court, involving the constitutionality of the Slocumb high license law. Able lawyersare engaged on both sides of this question, and, as usual, the attorncys on both sides are confi- dent their side will be sustained by the court. Our special dispatches from Lincoln indicate that the ar- guments will be concluded to-day, but the court will take the case under ad- visement, and in all probability no de- cision will be rendered until the next term. Meantimo parties most directly interested remain in suspense. Tax Springfield, Mass., Republican says Jay Gould is gathering himself about 8t. Louis like an Octopus. He owns its railroad connections, its bridge, its largest iron works, its barge line down the river, and he has just bought a controlling interest in the stock-yards which serve its railroads, A great city like Now York is too large for any one man to handle, but in a city of the second rank there is nothing impossible in a man’s grasping a controlling influence over its trade, and it would be to his inter- est to make the trade as large as possible, but as much as possible to absorb 1ts profits, Consur WiisoN, of Hamburg, re- ports to the state department that there are no signs of abatement in the emigration from Germany to this country. The number leaving Ham- burg for the first three months in the year rcached 24,401, as against 7,707 for the corresponding period of 1880, Literary Note. “Tnr Exmes” is a Russian love story of groat power and originality. The scene is laid in Siberia, just now a point of unusual interest because of the hosts of Nihilists who will un- doubtedly be sent into exile there by the new czar. The leading characters are Yegor Semenoff, a political con- vict; Nadege Davidofi, his bethrothed; Ladislas, a Polish boy; M. Lafleur, a liberty-loving French dancing-master; and Yermac, chief of police of Ya- koutsk. Yegor, Nadege and Ladislas, aided by M. Laflsur, undertake to escape through Siberla. They are followed by Yermac, but reach the polar regions, meeting with all kinds of exciting and perilous adventures. The descriptions of the hurricane, the aurora borealis, the polar night, the mirage and the breaking up of the ice are marvelously vivid, realistic and beautiful; and the characters are so strongly drawn that they arephoto- graphed on the memory, while the immense amount of reliable informa- tion concerning Siberia given renders the book especially valuable, In a word, ‘“I'ue Exiies” is a masterpiece in every point of view’ and those who fail to read it will miss a treat of mo ordinary kind. Its authors are Victor Tissot and Constant Amero, two well.known French novelists. The work of translation has been done by George D. Cox in his usual style of excellence, and the great romance is given the American public in all its attractiveness, It is pub- lished in a large square duodecimo yalumo, paper cover, price 70 cents, in uniform style with Peterson's editions of “Emile Zola’s” and‘‘Henry Greville's” works, and will be found for sale by all Booksellers and News Agents, and on all railroad trains, er copies of it will be sent to any one, to any place, at once, on remitting 7b cents in a lotter to the Publishers, T.

Special to the State Journal, Pawxee Crry, August 9. - A disas- trous fire broke out here about one o'clock this morning in a shed in the rear of Reeder’s drug store, near the center of the bolck north of the court house square, on .tho west side of Washington street. The flames spread rapidly south to the corner of the square and west to the middle of the block, then nerth to the Arlingtin house. Then then crossed to the cast side of the street . and licked up half the block, when it was ar- rested by the fire-proof law office of Capt. Humphrey and the aid of citi- zens with water thrown irym buckets. The number of business places de- stroyed its twenty-six, and the losses foot up fully $45,000.

The Slain Sionx Sovereign. Sloux City Journal, Aug. 10, Gen. John Cook, Indian agent at Rosebud, Sotted Tail's agency, was in the city yesterday, on his way to that agency, having been called back from St. Paul by the news of the old chief's death. Gen. Cook was interviewed by a reporter, and spoke thusly of the late head of the Sioux nation : “Spotted Tail was the best Indian alive. It is a mistake to call Crow Dog, the Indian that killed him, a chief. He was not even a head man among the tribe. T made him captain in the police force, but deposed him because of host#lity to Spotted TaiM He was was never chief of the police force. _ That office is held by a white man, T suppose that Crow Dog found Spotted Tail unarmed and shot him down. Crow Dog and his brother had ‘on one or two occasions previously pointed their rifles at Spotted Tail when he was unarmed. He told them that if he pointed his rifle at a man's body he made his heart bleed, or if at a man’s head he made his brains fly, and asked them 1f they werc sanaws that they were afraid to fire, Crow Dog and his brother belonged to a fastion of the Brules that wanted the tribe divided, and Spotted Tail would not have it; so they wanted to kill him, 1 think the trouble originally grew out of the killing of Big Mouth, chief of tho Ogallalas, This happened nine or ten years ago at Camp Sheri- dan, before the lower Sioux were re- moved to ‘their present agency. Brules and Ogallalas were there to- gether, Spotted Tail was in the te- boo of one of his warriors when Big uth, chief of the Ogallalas, came in and pointing his gun at him abused him inthe wost insulting man- ner in which ono Indian can abuse another. Spotted T made no re- ply except to ask Big Mouth if he wias a squaw that he did not shoot when his gun was pointed, “Then Big Mouth went back to his council tent, where a feast was going on. Spotted Tail went to his own tepee, and getting his rifle, followed Big Mouth into the council fent. Big Mouth had just been telling how he had intimidated Spotted Tail. Old Spot brought the butt of hisrifle down on the floor hard, and said: ‘‘Does any man say that Spotted Tail is a coward?” Nobody answered. Then he went around from man to man ask- ing all the same question, but none answered, ‘the last he came to was Big Mouth. ‘You said that Spotted Tail was a coward,’ and levelling his | ritle blew out that chief’s brains. The Ogallalas, some of them, objected to this, but none of them ever molested Spotted Tail.” #‘He was nota chief by birth, Spot- ted Tail wasn't. He was only a head man when he took part in the fight with Harney at Ash Hollow. Hewas taken prisoner and kept through the winter. When he was released he was made head chief of his band, the Brules, and afterwards was recognized by the government as the head of the Sioux nation, a nation numbering fully 65,000 souls. Since he has been the firm friend of the whites and of peace. Not long ago he sent word to the Northwestern engineers who were exploring the country west of the viver that if they wanted an escort to protect them he would send them one,” Suicide at Linocoln.
