The result has proved that there was much truth in the charge and | card is a great convenience it can also be made a great nuisance. Postmws- ter General James has determined to Put a stop to the detestable practices ' of the postal card hyenas and has issuod an order that postmasters of receiving or sending offices shall destroy abu- sive postal cards on receipt of a spe- sifio of the person to whom they are addressed. This measure will meet with the thanks of the whole country. When it is once known that it can be stopped this method of annoyance will no longer be adopted by wali- ©lous persous, | shown that while the postal | REBELLIOUS LIQUOR DEAL- ERS. Wihom the gods wish to destroy This maxim is al course pursued by the Omaha liquor they first mako mad strikingly illustrated by the suici dealers, When the Slocumb high license bill was passed by the legislature last winter, this community manifested its sympathy with the liquor dealers by | condemning the iron-clad provisions | of the new law as needlessly exacting and oppressive. Had the liguor deal- ers acted prudently and exhibited moderation they would still enjoy this sympathy. TInstead of ecourting the good will of liberally-disposed people, they have shown a dis- position to punish them by attempting to enforce Puritan blue laws upon all classes of business men. They say in so muny words to this community. “‘You must allow us to continue the liquor traffic in defiance of law or we propose to make it de- cidedly uncomfortable for you. If the témperance alliance or any set of men dare to call us into court for sell- ing liquor without license we propese to stop the sale or delivery of milk, meat or ice on Sunday, and we shall put travelers who come to Omaha late Saturday night to the discomfort of going without a bath or a shave Sunday. No matter that the thermometer is up among the nineties; no matter how many families are made to suffer for the want of fresh milk and meat, or how many invalids are cruelly tortured for the want of 1ce. Now we approhend that this com- munity will soon loose patience with , | such infernal tomfoolery, and the re- bellious liquor dealers will diacovor before ninety days roll around that every respectable business manin Oma- ha and nine-tenths of our citizens will make common cause against them. And when the conflict comes thatwill test the strength of the contending forces, it is safe to predict that the re- bellious liquor dealers ot Omaha will come out of it worsted at every point. We presume the rebellious liquor dealers are acting on the advice of their attorneys. There are a fow eminent shysters in Omaha who would not hesitate to advise these deluded men that they can forever continue an un- lawful traflic by terrorizing and har- rassing law-abiding people. At the risk of being denounced as a temperance fanatic the editor of Tue JEE ventures to tell the rebellious a fow plain truths. Un- of government all laws are in forco until they are either pronounced void by a supreme court or repealed by a legislature. When the Slocumb bill went into eflut on the 2d of June it was just us much w law as any other law on our swatute books But the Omaha liquor deal- ers took it upon themselves to declare that this law was unconstitutional and therefore they refused to pay atten- tion to it unless it valid by the engaged eminent lawyers to to make a test case. The district court of Judge Savage decided the law to be constitutional and they ap- pealed to tho supreme court for a final lo 1. While the test cases were pending the people of Omaha with great forbearance did not molest the liquor deulers, although they were violating the law every hour of the day. When the supreme court unani- mously decreed the Slocumb law con- stitutional it became the duty of the liquor dealers who had made the ap- peal to submit and make the best of it underthe circumstances. But instead of submitting they rebelled, First they rofused, through the members of their umion who hold soats in the council, to carry the law into cffcet by enacting an ordinance, and then they, who are constantly vi- olating law, have taken it upon them- selves to enf liquor dealers der our systol was declared courts, They > the Sunday law upon all classes of business. They are like the fox who lost his tail in & chicken stealing expedition and iusisted that all the other foxes must have their tails cut off. This is a little too much, even for the most liberal and tolerant citizen, and wo take the liberty of warning our rebellious liquor dealers against an impending storm, —— THE LINCOLN RAILROAD SCHEME. 1t is possible, as Tue Omaua Ber says, that “*Lincoln is no commercial competitor of Omaha,” but it is, nevertheless, a fact that sho means to be one, and fog that reason has to la- bor diligently and intelligently. That the rivilry between Omaha and Lin- coln is & legitimate one we admit, and we hope it will remain s0; but our wholesule dealers here know well enough that Omaha wholesalers are skirmishidg south of the Platte, and they also know that the sooner it is stopped, the better for Lincoln's commereial prosperity, To stop it, our leading business men have seen fit to invest one willion of dollars in a ralroad; a valroad which will give Lineolu & short cut to &n. eago without going by Omaha, and also one to St Paul and the lumber |regions. The people of Lancaster *“‘need not be bulldozed at all” to be impressed with the fact that the larger Lincoln gets the better for Lancaster; aud they also know that the best way to make Lineoln is to gridiron its sur- roundings with railrosds: to make it the great railroad ceutre of Nebraska President Fitzgerald's new roads will add much to Lincoln's prosperity, and will give an impetus that will | us to thirty thousand people before the state consus of 1880 is completed. We THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. AUGUST 29, i want not merely railroads, but we want good and competing roads, and the C, & N. W., as also the St. P. & M. are such roads. Tne Ber single straw in the path of Lincoln’s Whatever legitimate means has no desire to throw a growth. are usod to increaso the prosperity of the capital city, or any other young and growing city in the state, will cordial support. Mor than this,what- ever honest and tair trade competition may exist between the although so far apart in population and wealth, we believe will be for the two cities, benefit of both and to the advan- tage of the state at large. The opposition of this paper to the railroad scheme which has lately been organized in Lincoln, has no connec- tion with Omaha or with the rivalry which the Lincoln Democrat supposes to exist betweon the two cities. Tue Bee opposes the project because it has for ita object the building of a line of roads on the people’s money, with the sole view of enriching a few specula- tors, Its protests against the proposed railroand because its construction on the plan contemplated will place additional mortgages on every farm and dwelling in Saunders and Dodge ccunties. This state has had enough experience in building railroads for corporations and afterwards paying dividends on their stock. Tue Bee belicves that the time has come when local aid to railroad schemes should cease. In a number of other states such rockless donations of bonds by towns and counties is prohibited by law because experience has shown that the prac- tice is ruinous to financial stability and that the promises are broken just as soon as the managers of competing roads can agree upon a pooling contract. Lincoln’s business men have not seen fit to invest one million dollars in a railroad—or even one-tenth or one twentieth of that sum, A few lawyers, bankers and contractors have formed a corporation and subscribed for a million of stock —on paper, which stock is to be paid for by the proceeds of bonds, which these enterprising capitalists expect to get as a bonus for building a road which they intend to turn over to the Chicago & Northwestern just as soon as the 150,000 subsidy is voted. A constructioncompany will be formed of the original promoters of the road, and the only actual mvestment of capital will be the amount temporarily advanced to the construction company If Mr. John Fitgerald and his associates desire to build a road to connect with the Chicago & Northwestern, and do it with their own money, welland good. No one can find fault with such a speculation, Tt will un their privilege and right, which no journal or individual is likely to op- pose. Nebraska wants more railroads and Tue Bee is in favor of such an extension of our railway system as is on the bonds, honest construction But Nebraska does not want another imile of road for whose construction her people will be compelled to mortgage their homes and tax their industry. And if we are not seriously mistaken the pro- jectors of the Lincoln and Fremont railroad will discover this fact just as soon as any bond project is laid before the farmers of Saunders and Dodge Incidontally let us remark that the Platte river is not a Chinese wall which Omaha wholesale dealers are forbidden to scale. The sectional division north and south has no exis- tence except on the map. The tropolis of Nebraska has as exten- sive traflic south of the Platte as on this side of that river, and the time has long since past when any road that leads in or out of Lincoln could bar Omaha wholesale dealers out of the South Platte country. consistent with and fair management. counties, me- Tur London Fortuightly one of the ablest of English periodicals, which has for its editor the gifted John Morley, comments at some length upon the assassination of the president. Mr, Morley takes the same view entortained by Mr. E. L, Godkin in his late article in the Atlantic, and holds that indirectly at loast the terrible crime of July 2d had a political complexion. Ho says: Review, The English-speaking world expe- rienced a sovere shock at the begin- ning of July by the attempted assas sination of Presidont Gartield. The attempt illustrates the danger of car- rying party rancor to extremes—a danger of which it is quite possible thut we may have other illustrations uearer home, When political parti- sans persuade themaelves that either a presidont or a premier is the embodi- ment of evil, there is always a dan- goer that some desperate fanatie or brooding enthusiast may attempt to mete out justice by the pistol or the diager. The death of President Gar- field would have placed Vice-Presi- dent Arthur in the presidential chair, and Mr. Arthur being a Conklingite, Guiteau's crime, if successful, would have effocted as great a displacement of political as a change which placed Lord Hartington in the posi- tion of Mr. Gladstone. Guiteau him- self might not have profited by it, but Guiteau's friends and associates could hardly have failed to secure some of the spoils of oflice which at present have fallen chicfly to the friends of Mr, Blaine. The commonplace- ness of Guiteaw’s attempt de- prives it of much of the horror in- spired by the more elaborate outrages in Russia. Rulers have alvays been ex) to such attacks as “that to which President Garfield so nearly fell | br ceive Tur Ber's hearty approval and | a vietim, and it has long been ac- cepted as a truism that no one's life is safe if another is determined to sacri- fice his own in taking it. Govern- ment, neverthelese, has always gone on, Nor has the personal insecurity of the governor ever been a serious difficulty in the way of administering the affairs of states. Considering the antipathy which even the most popu- lar rulers must excite at times in the ts of some of their subjects, the marvel is not that attempts to assassi. | nate are so frequent, but that they so | scldom succeed. | | Tue Dexver News has again elim- | inated its odd column, and resumed i provincial proportions. The Omaha Hevald is the gnly newspaper west of the Missouri which can con tinuously sustain a seven column quarto of the size and character of those published in the large cities, But then the Herald's circulation | and business is equal to the combined circulation and business of any two of | its contemporaries between the lakes and the Pacific. As the recognized organ of the democratic party of four states, and which neither suppresses its opinions nor leaves its polities in doubt, the Herald obtains a patronage which enables it to make its pace en- tirely too rapid for its ambitious con- temporaries in the weat, — Omaha Her- ald. For sublime cheek and deliberate imposture the Omaha Herald is with- out a rival, not only in four states, but on the whole American continent. In the first place the Herald is not the only newspaper west of the Mis- souri which can continuously sustain a seven-column metropolitan quarto; in fact the Herald has never yet con- tinuously or in single nuymbers pub- lished a seven-column metropolitan quarto, because only four of the eight pages of that sheet have been any semblance of a newspaper. The re- maining half of the ‘‘great paper” has at no time been anything more than a mere patent medicine poster, with twoa three columns ot patent plates. In the next place, the great paper that claims torepresent the democracy of four states, and whose circulation and business beats that of any two of its contemporaries, has never dared to publish a sworn statement of its cir- culation, Even allowing all that the Herald claims through the American News- paper Dirvectory, which credits the Herald, on its own report, at less than 2,000 weeklies and the same number of dailies, Tur Bee circulates more than five times as many wecklics and nearly three times as many dailies as the Herald. In Omaha where the Herald ought to have such influence, THe Bee has four times as many subscribers as the Heratd. But the inflated boaster will continue to impose on credulous dupes by claiming to publish the only metropolitan paper west of the Mis- souri, Groundless Fears. New York Evening Post. The precarious condition of Presi- dent Garfield during the past few days has again caused people to ask themselves w is likely to happen to the common weal in the event of his death. While no one can point out any particular harm to material intercsts as either a mecessary or a probable consequence ot the fatal ter- mination of his illness, there is so general an apprehension of something baneful to the body politic that busi- ness shrinks as before a coming blast, and men go to their daily vocations with a vague sense of approaching calamity - something over and above the sorrow which touches the heart — some unexplained fear which beclouds the mind and gives a deeper hue to aur sympathy for the suffering chief trato. Yet presidents have dicd in office before. Once this calamity overtook us in the midst of the great- est commotion of the century, with a million of men under arms, with a public debt nearly double its present proportions, and with problims of un- known magnitude, both political and financial, to be solved in the crucible of universal sutfrage, The persons who then succeeded to the powers and duties of the presi- dent was a man of imperfect edu tion and stubborn temper, reaved in the midst of sluvery, and though born eman, yet born to most of the ial disabilities which appertain to 8¢ the condition of slave He was not destitute of patriotism, but this phrase, as he understood it, meant anything else than government ac- cording to the wishes of the majority constitutionally expressed. He soon tound himself without a party either in congress or out of it, and his want of training, and the badness of his early surroundings, prevented him from gaining or creating one, Instead of accepting the situation he defied it, Instead of accommodating himself to facts he threw himself against them and was in a political sense dashed in pieces. He not only ruined himself but all those, few in number, who adhered to him, Even Mr. Seward, who entered oftice at the begin- ning of the war with a larger political capital than any other man of his time, came out with searcely any personal following, Apparvently every evil thing that could happen as a consequence of the president’s death did happen. The Hship of state” was sailing three years or more in one direction, while the “man at the helm” was steering m another directior In short, the! worst fears of everybody were more than realized. Nevertheless the coun- try prospered during the whole of Au- | drew Johuson's administration - even while he was Junder impeachment, That impeachwment trial, by the way, was perbaps as seveve a test of our institutions as they had ever under- gone in time of peace. The country prospered through it all, and the pub- lic debt was reduced by honest pay- went, although the president recom- | seeking to make profit out of a stu- 831, our worst fears as regards I‘rruidx-nt! Garfield are realized. There is noth- gin the present condition of the country that can be calléd critical, as compared with the situation in 1865 Nor have we any reason to suppose that Mr. Arthur would fail to appre- ciate the responsibilities of his office, and the duties he would owe to a peo- ple so lamentably bereft of the pres- dent of their choice. There is more reason to apprehend that the confi- dence necessary to a successful admin- | i®ration would be withheld from him withont much reference to his own merits and capabilitios; in other| words, that he would not have a fa'r chauce. He would enter upon his | office with a nation of tears. His first salutation would be almost universal regret that he was there | at all. His immediate friends would be looked upon by many as a faction pendous public calamity. His ene- mies would arm themselves with the general belief. The utmost conserva- tism on his part would be necessary to ward off the most unjust asper- sions, Circumstances have conspired to put him in a hostile attitude to- ward Yresident Garfield —or rather, having put himself in such an atti- tude, circumstances have conspired to put this fact in a conspicuous light und to make it more irksome for him than for any former Vice-President to undertake the duties of the higher office. His pathway would be a thorny one ut best and could only be made tolerable by keeping himself as nearly within the lines marked out by Pres- ident Garheld as circumstances might permit We believe that these tacts will have due weight with him. He is as different from Andrew Johnson in temperament and training as the cir- cumstances of the country are differ- ent from those of Andrew Johnson's time. Heisa man of education as well as of affairs, of an amiable and yielding disposition, and hence more likely to be impressed with the respon- sibilities of his new station and the fatality through which it fell to his lot than a person of narrow mind and headstrong temper would be. The duty of the people to him in the eventof Prestdent Garfield's aea*hwill be no less imperative and binding than his duty to them. He wil! entitled to the forbearance and confi- dence due to one who has neither sought nor expected the presidential office, but who assumes it in obedionce to law and under very trying circum- stances, Mourn as all may and must for our elected chief if he be lost, the col.ntr‘y has still higher claims upon us, To see that the republic receives no detriment iy the first command laid upon every citizen, The Hobriu'(i' and reasonableness which carried us through the crisis of a disputed presi- dency will not fail us in the emergen- ¢y now so painfully apprehended. In- deed, there would be no oceasion for these words but for the long, linger- ing strain upon public feeling which has produced a morbid and unwar- ranted apprehension of ‘evils which nobody can define, but which manifest themselves in the haunts of traflic as well as in the walks of social life, and are felt the more keenly, perhaps, be- cause they are undefinable, —— The Presidential Succession. The constitution of the United States authorizes Cong; by law for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability both of the president and vice-president and to de- clare what officer shall then act as president. Under that constitutional provision, Congress in 1792 provided that the order of succession to the presidency in cases of vacuncies such a8 have been enumerated, should be: first, the president, of tie senate; or, if there should be none, then the speaker of the house of representa- tives. But either one ot these of- icials is only authorized to act until a president can be elected. The mode of election of president in such con- tingency is thus described in tl vised statutes of the United St Sec. 147. Whenever the offices of president and vice president both be- come vacant, the secretary of state shall forthwith cause a notification thereof to be made to the executive of | every state, and shall also cause the | same to be published in at least one of the newspapers printed in each state, Skc. 148, The notificati n shail specify that electors of a president and vice president of the United States shall be appointed or chosen in the eral states, as follows: First—1f there shall be the space of two months yet to ensue between the date of such notitication and the | first Wednesday in December then | next ensuing, such nolification shall specify that tho electors shall be ap pointed or chosen within thirty four days preceding such first Wednesday in December, Second—If there shall not be the| space of two months between the date of such notification and such first Wednesday in Dacember, and if the term for which the president and Yice president last in office were elec- ted will not expire on the third day of March next ensuing, the notification shall speaify that the electors shall be appointed or chosen within thirty- four days preceding the first Wednes- day in December in the year next en- not be the suing. But if there shall P f two months between the date of such notification and the first Wednesday in December ensuing and if the term for which the president and vice president last in office were elected will expire on the third day of March next ensuing, the notification shall not specify that electors are to | be appointed or chosen, Sec, 149, Electors appointed or chosen upon the notification pres- eribed My the preceding section shall meet and give their votes upon the first Wednesday of December speci- fied in the notitication, It will be seen by the constitutional and statutory provisions we have quoted, that in case the présidency and vice-presidency becomes vacant, the president of the senato or the speaker of the house would act as president ouly for the time which might intervene between the occur- ence of the vacancy and an election by the people.
