The members of the Republican State Central Committee of Nebraska, are here- by called to meet at the Commercial Hotel in the City of Lincoln, on Wednesday, the Slst day of August, A, D., 1881, at 2 oclock p. m., for the transaction of such business as may properly come before the Committee.

Tue assessed valuation of railrends in Indiana was raised 5,836,000 this year over that of 1880.

It will now be 1 order for the Herald to retract its slander- ous intimation that President Gar- field's condition has been used by the republican party for political purposes. —— GENERAL BHERMAN recently in- farmed the Canadians that the United Btates was generally in favor of the sunexation of the Dominion to the republic. In the meantime the Cana- dians are annexing themselves as rapidly as possible by emigrating to the new west. ‘Waire Americans who are ignorant of their own country are flocking in erowds to Europe, sensible English- men are pouriug into this country to view wonders which they declared | eannot be paralleled abroad.

The man- agement of the Union Pacific have long been restless under the contract which makes the Central Pacific their westorn connection, and, if rumor is true, are laying plans to secure an in- dependent line to the Pacific coast. Mr. Charles Crocker, one of the owners, and vice-president of the . railroading, Central Pacific road was recently interviewed on the subject, and stated that the Central Pacific was thoroughly prepared for any movements of the kind on the part of the Union Pacific managers. Accord- g to Mr. Crocker the Central Pacific witl meet any move westward by the Union Pacific, by a corresponding move eastward, and should the for- mer road réach out for the Pacific coast the Central Pacific will imme- diately retallinte by seeking the Mis- souri_ river by a line of their own. Mr. Crocker further stated that Cen- tral Pacific engineers arve alrea- dy surveying o line west- ward from Corinne, Utah, into Wyoming along Ham's Fork. 1f found necessary surveys will immedi- ately be pushed through the territory along the Sweetwater. thence to and along the valley of the North Platte mto Nebraska until the Niubrara is reached, which will be followed, says Mr. Crocker, to its junction with the Missouri at Yankton. Such a road, the vice president of the Central Pa- cific thinks, would prove a formidable competitor to any through line which the Union Pacific could control. Whether or not the Union Pacific forces upon its western connection the building of a new line, the next four years will witness an unexampled amount of railroad building in the west, which, under proper restric- tions, will prove of immense advan- tage to our people. No one line of road or system of railways is in the future to have a monopo'y of the car- rying trade in the western states and territories. ~ With the extension of lines already constructed and the construction of new roads, the portions of Nebraska and the western territories which now await develop- ment will rapidly fill up with indus- trious settlers for whoge product the rival lines will compete. In the bat- tle of the giant corporations the peo- ple will stand aloof so long as the contest does mot menace their inter- ests. When it does the popular voice will call a truce to the contestants, THE PRESIDENT AND THE DOCTORS. A good deal of criticism is being lavished by n number of leading news- papers upon the treatment of Presi dent Garfield’s wound by his physi- cians, The Chicago Times, following in the track of the New York Herald and the Boston Globe, declares that the people have lost confidence in the medical attendance at the White House, and loudly calls for a change in physicians, while a score of smaller journals, whose opinion is oniy the ocho of the leaaing dailies, chime in and insist that the president's life is being endangered Dy Iinwmpflanoy and his sufferings protracted by medical maltreatment, We cannot see that this theory is borne out by the case. Much capital is made by some papers oul of the fact that President Garfield's wound was treated on the theory that the bullet had passed through the liver, As the Springfield Republican ably points out, while the first conjectures as to the location of the bullet have THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: | and a chronie dgspeptic to make the sense. The best medical testimony in this country and Europe, including the London Lancet has united in ap- proving a course of treatment which | has made public in its minutest de- tails by the attending physicians The fact is that president Ga on July 2, was prostrated at d region, that, in spite of several relapses, due to ac and the abdominal eummulating pus, and incident to ev- ery gunshot wound, he has so far re- covered as to take quate to the current drain upon his all his physicians unite in promising his specdy recov- erv.

New York. Last May Mr. Vassan and his broth- er, Jous Guy, gave ample proof of their bounty by presenting to trus- tees the title deeds to the Vassar Home for Aged Men, in Poughkeep- sie, The institution is on thd” corner of Main and Vassar strects, and is built on the site of the first house that was erected in that city. This was in the year 1702, and was the first house built by an ancestor of the Vas- sars, This historic old property Mr. Mat- thew Vassar and his brother fitted up for the acecommodation of fifty aged men, selecting the board of managers without regard to religious denomi- nation and endowing it with $30,000 invested in the best seccurities. The property itself was valued at more than £45,000. In making the pre- sentation Mr. Vassar took occasion to say that as Providence had blessed him and his brother John with some of this world’s goods, they -had deemed it proper to do something for their fellow men; that they had come to the conclusion that old men who had no one to care for them were es- pecially deserving, and that was the reason of the presentation of the Vas- sar home to the trustees that day. Mr. Vassar loaves a large property. He will be sincerely regretted by the citizens of Poughkeepsie, and his loss will be greatly felt by the institution of which, since his uncle’s death, he has been the guiding spirit. —_— THE national brotherhood of car- penters, which held its annual session at Chicago last week passed a series of resolutions that cannot fail to in- terest working men in all scctions of the oountry. The resolutions endorse a call for & universal labcr congress, to be held in Pittsburg, on No- vember 12th, of the present year, They recommend in the interest of their trade: lst, shorter hours of labor; 2d, uniform wages winter and summer; 3d, the support for public oftice only such men, irrespective of party, as best represent the laboring elasses; 4th, the enactment of laws that will build up American commerce and laws that will abolish monopolies, the establishment of local bureaus and facilitate the employment of work- ingmen. Lastly, they pledge them- selves to use no article manufactured in a reformatory institution, — SEcTIoN b, article 8 of the constitu- tion of Nebraska says: ‘Al fines, penalties and license moneys arising under the general laws of the state shall belong and be over to the countics respectively where the same may be levied or 1m- posed, and all fines, penalties and moneys arising under the rules, by- laws and ordinances of cities, villiages, towns, precincts or other municipal subdivisions less than a county shall belong toand be paid over to the same respectively.” The Slocumb law went into effect on the 2d of June and all acts and ordinances previously passed regulat- ing the traftic in liquor have been a dead Ic#'er since that date, In Cmaha and in every city, town or village where no ordinance has been enacted in conformity with the statute regulating the liquor traflic, the fines und penalties imposed by the courts for violations of the statute since the 24 of June will, under the section of the constitution afore cited, belong to the county echool fund, and these fines and penalties will con- tinue to go to the county school fund regulate the issuc of liquor license in conformity with the statute, Should the city council of Omaha fail to pass such an ordinance our city proven to be mistaken, those conjoc- tures were not the basis of any medi- There was only one policy of treat ment so long as the wound gave no evidence of hay- ing pierced the abdominal cavity and that was to keep the patient quiet and well nourished, assisting wounds, Whether the liver was pierced or nov, no other course was possible than exactly the one which dence that everything which had gone before was wrong is the sheerest non- school fund would soon be exhausted | door from a gevere wound in his back MONDAY, purghases.

ScHURS tells the following in- cident of a personal visit to Spotted Tail on his reservation, and of Spotted | Tail's return visit to the White House: “When | commissi years ago a government n vy Spotted Tail to meet them at in point, he replied: ‘1f 1 had /o say to you 1 would go u are. But if you' have something to say Yo me you must come where Tam.” 1n the autumn of | 1877 o large delegation of Sioux vis- ited Washington and had a council with the president in the famous east room of the White House. Spotted | Tail, when asked to let the president | know what he had to communicate, #aid that he would not speak uutil all the other chiefs had spoken. So they made their speeches one after another, standing up before the president with great solemnity. When they had spoken, Spotted Tail rose and asked one of the attendants Ly wgesture to put his chair immediatoly in front of the president. This done, Spotted Tail gravely sat down and talked to the president, not in the usual orator- ial style, but in a more familiar man- ner, as it coversing with an epual.” 2 < Tue government director of the Union Pacific will soon take his de- parture for Europe to attend the Methodist ecumenical council, but we presume that Union Pacific trains will continue to run with as much regularity and speed as if the impos- ing double dignitary remained in Omaha in the full majesty of his of- fice, Poor.

Of course the absorbing topic of conversation upon the street to-day was the supreme court decision on the constitutionality of the Slocumb law. Opinions as to the practicality of the law were all pretty much of the same character, only " a few people to be met now and who appeared to think the enforce- ment of the law would have a benefi- cial effect upon the morals of the city. Most of the prominent citizens spoken to expressed the opinion that there was nothing left now for the council to do except to pass an ordinance em- bodying the features of the Slocumb bill 80 as to regulate the sale of drink in the city. These gentlemen took the ground that the only principal question that had been involved in regard to the Jaw was as to its constitutionality. This matter had been settled by the highest judi- cial tribunal of the state and there was nothing laft for the council but to see that the law was enforced. If it were an unjust law it was a matter for the next legislature to settle. Mayor Boyd said he would send a communication to the next meeting of the council, as he had done twice before, recornmending action in the matter. He thought there was no doubt that council would take the necessary action. Councilman Martin Dunham said that of course he was in favor of enforcing the law solongas it has passed the legislature, He had pre- sented the ordinance in regard to the matter to council in the first place and could scarcely get a second to his motion to refer, Finally it was given into the hands of the judi- ciary committee, who reported ad- versely, saying the matter was uncon- stitutional. Then the matter was sat upon, The saloon keepers and men in the trade generally take the position that they can do nothing whatever in the matter until council has taken some action. They have no intention of closing up until compelled to do so and in the present status of the case say they could not take out a license if they 80 desired. They intend ~ to run right on until the first of January if they are not disturbed. There are hiuts on tho streets that an obstruction policy will be tried upon the council and the ultimate passage of the ordinance staved oft by dilatory motions. Trresponsible dealers will probably keep open in any event and stand their chances of prosecution. A Bk reporter called on Gen. J, C. Cowin this morning to ascertain his views on/the Slocumb ‘lav. To the question, ‘“What will be the effect of this decision?” Gen. Cowin said: ““In reading The Herald containing an interview with Judge Lake, of the supreme bench, I find that he stated to the reporter - that they held that the license, if imposed, was a police regulation, using this language: ‘In brief we de- cided that the law was a police regula- tion entirely, and that the imposition of the money for licenses is in no sense a tax as the word is used in the constitution.” This being determined and settled, it gi almost unlimited power to our city with respect to po- lice regulations. Under this ruling of the court, that the the imposition of licenses for a thousand dollars 1s po- lice regulation, pure and simple, the city of Omaha by the power delegated to 1t from the state may exact a license fee of one thousand dollars a car on the street railroad of the city, and the same amount from auctioneers, brok- ers, commission merchants, innkeep- ers, insurance, telegraph, and express interests and businesses or ven- dors of patents as well a8 all shows, theatres, and exhibitions for pay. By this means an ample revenue may be secured to support the school system without any regular tax for that pur- pose. I do not look upon the law as a good police regulation, nor one that is likely to accomplish the results ex- pected und hoped from it. Its ton. dency will be to bwld palatial structures and temples of = honor to whisky and strong drinks, a few monopolizing the trade, while that comparatively harmless beverage, beer, can find no place in the market, And the result of it may be, and 1 fear will be, that many of those who visit no other places than comparatively harmless beer wardens, and that in'company with their wives and chil- dren without any injurious effects may be driyen to other places where they will not be surrounded with the same influences for their protection, If this law had been intended for a police regulation only and not for the purpose of rasing revenue the object would have better accomnlished by making .police regulations proper more strict, as for instance limting the number of saloons in all cities of the first class or second class, so that the trade would have been open to all alike, and not to the moneyed few.” *“There is a general impression that the supreme court hastily decided the case,”” said the reporter. ST admit,” replied Gen. Cowin, “‘that the case was decided sooner than I expected, but the question has been before the public so long that undoubtedly the members of the su- preme court had exammed the ques- | tion before the argument, and there- fore the same amount of time was required after the argument.” What 1 your opinion will be the action of the city council?” ““The city council will not presume or undertake to avoid the operation of the law, in wy opinion, by failing to pass the proper ordinances to permit those who desire to take out li- censes under the mnew law. It is not presumed that a law-mal ing body would itself violate the law no matter what the individual feeling or impression may be, When they | meet in the city council chamber they meet not as individuals, but as representatives of the eity, and they could, with ill.grace, ex- pect to pass ordinances and have them obeyed when the coun- cil itself refuses to obey the laws of again | CHEAP LAND FOR SALE.
