Liuncoln, Neb., Aug. 81, 1881, —— Frouring and rolling mills ought to be added to Omaha's industriea. Tuz alliance of the farmers will soon e strengthened by an alliance of busi- ness men. ExToRTIONATE rents discouaage im- ‘migrants, and in the end will defeat themselves. GuITEAU i8 'again praying constant- ly and loudly, Guiteau always was a bird of prey. GerMANY has 106 inhabitants to the square mile. Plenty of room for further immigration. — Taue difference between Tilden aud Bookwalter as political managers is only one of pocket-books. Joun KeLLy is the hardest political cat which the New York democracy ever attempted to kill off, Tae advice to hcld crops is good, ‘but there is such a thing as holding on till the bottom drops out of a boom, Susan B, ANTHONY aspires to the position of presidential nurse. An- other day of prayer should at onco be ordered. CHicAGO wants the national capital remoyed to the lakeside. Chicago only excels 8t.

The traveling public will pay the usual dividends. — SeNator VAN Wyck hae placed himself on record with no uncertain sound. Senator Van Wyck is none of Cameron’s d—aA literary follows, but he says what he thinks, and isn't afraid of the politicsl consequences, |SENATOR VAN WYCK'S AD- DRESS Senator Van Wyck's masterly ad- dress to the farmers of Nebraska in- augurates a new epoch in this state. For the first time in our history a public man, occupying the highest position within the gift of this com. | monwealth, comes boldly into the arena to grapple with cvery living issue of the hour, gives utterance within the hearing of thousands to sentiments that no other public man in Nebraska has dared expross, and assails abuses which no other man occupying his station has ever had the courage to denounce, Up to this day our public men, with very rare exceptions, have either been numbskulls who had not brains enough te conceive an original idea or coward- ly time-servers who did not dare to have an opinion of their own on any question upon which public sentiment was divided. Like a shrill clarion blast among the hills and valleys, this fearless, forcible and trank discussion of the issues that confront the country, more es- pecially the producers of this section and the courageous onslaught against corporate rapacity and aggression will arouse the toiler on the farm and in the workshop, and the tradesman and manufacturer to political self-asser- tion. While all men cannot agree with Senator Van Wyck upon every ques- tion, his example will hencetorh be emulated, and men with ambition for public place will be compelled to to express positive views upon ques- tions of public interest before they can hope to rise to eminence. Strad- dling, fence-riding, trimmers and dodgers will be banished trom politi- cal prominence, while men with posi- tive ideas and convictions will be in demaud for places of honor and trust. Senator Van Wyck's address quite apart from its radical expression, commends itself to every think- ing man, and especially to the farmers and workingmen, for its sound advice, Although somewhat lengthy it should be carefully read from beginning to end. Tt affords sufficient food for reflection even for the most intelligent and best informed. SENATOR BURNSIDE. The sudden death of Senator Am- brose E. Burnside, which took place at Providence, R. I, on Tuesday, re- moves from the scene of action one of the bravest of soldiers and staunchest patriots, Few Americans have given s large a portion of their lives to the service of their country. Born in Liberty, Indiana, in the year 1824, he entered West Point in 1843 and was graduated as a second lieutenant of the artillery in 1847, joining the army in Mexicoin time to take part in the closing scenes of the Mexican war, From 1848 {0 1853 he was stationed at various posts and in the campaign of 1849-50 he saw active service with the Jacarillo Apaches in New Mexico, receiving a severe wound. He re- signed his command in October, 1853, and from that time until 1858 resided in Bristol, R. L., where he engaged in the manufacture of breech-loading rifles of his own invention, From 1858-1861 Greneral Burnside devoted his attention to railrosding, and occu- pied the important position of cashier of the land department and treasurer of the Illinois Central railroad com- pany. The firing on Fort Sumpter saw him once more in Rhode Island, where, with great rapidity he organized a regiment of three months’ volunteers, and went to the front as their colonel. He distinguished himself in General Patterson's operations in Maryland, and fought through the Manasses cam- paign, receiving in August, 1861, the appointment of brigadier general of United States volunteers, and later that of a major general. During the celebrated North Caro- lina campaign of 1862 General Burn- side did effective service in organizing the coast division. As commander of the department of North Carolina he directed the operations at Roanoke Island, Newbern, Macon and Cam- den. Ho commanded the ninth corps at tho first battle of Fredericksburg in 1862, and fought through the Maryland campaign of that year, commanding the left wing at South Mountain and Antiotam. His bravery lance were matchless and led to his selection in November, 1862, as commander of the Army of the Potomac. The disastrous battle of Fredericlgburg, 1863, was followed by the appointment of General Meade to the command of the army in Vir- ginia, and Burnside was transferred to the department of the Ohio. Here he waged an active war agaiust Mor- gan's raiders, was present at the cap- ture of Cumberland gap, and took part in a number of battles which led to the occupation of eastern Tennes- see and the surrender of Knoxville. General Burnsides' share in the clos- ing battles of the war was by no means inconsiderable. At the head of his old Ninth corps he participated in the Richmond campaign of 1864, was in the Wilderness, at Spottsylvania, and the siege of Petersburg. He resigned means commensurate with his ability | food which were last year considered bings. To take caro of the 1,600 and bravery, At the conclusion of the war Gen- eral Burnside at once entered upon an active professional life as a eivil engineer, Tle was elected in 1866 governor of Rhode Island, and held the office for five years, during which period he was also the head of several important industrial enterprises, In 1876, he took his seat in the United States senate as senator from Rhiode Island, which office he held at the time of his death, General Burnside was a man of heroic mold. He was a brave soldier who never flinched from duty or shunned any peril. As a business man he was honest and honorable. As a republican he was firm in his opinions and true to his associations. No taint of suspicion rests on the long and honorable career of public service and his demise de- prives the state of Rhode Tsland of a faithful and able representative and the nation of one of her most dis- tinguished public men. = . Ir is claimed that the continued and rapid destruction of our forests is in a large degree responsible for the drought and the drying up of many of our water courses. Mr. David G. Thompson, of Cincinnali, in discuss- ing this question, insists that greater efforts should be made to preserve ferests where they exist, and to culti- vate them where they do not. He says: ‘‘How terrible these results may be seen in the desolation wrought upon Babylon, Thebes, Memphis, and especially upon the people of the Chi- nese province of Shan-Li only three years ago, by the loss of their forests, History shows that not a few nations have declined with the disappearance of their forests; and upon the preservation of our water- courses may depend our existence as a nation. While the government ought to protect its own forests, and especially ite mountain forests, it is the farmers and other small land-own- ers who can effect the most good; and every influence possible shculd be ex- erted to induce them to reclothe a portion of their denuded lands. In this work the most effective agency would be the press, particularly the agricultural press; and it is to be hoped that it will agitate the subject until the desired result is brought about,” WEe understand that Miss Abbott contemplates substituting a season of four nights in Deer Trail for the two nights’ engagement in Omaha.—Den- ver Tribune, Omaha wouldn't regard it as a great calamity if Emma should give her the go by. Judging from the fact that with all the eclat of the Tabor Opera House, she has been playing to empty banches in the Col- orado capital since the firat two or three nights, we apprehend Omaha would survive the shock if Miss Ab- bott should prefer to waste her sweot- ness on the desert air of Deer Trail, Jack Rabbit Hollow or Dead Mule's Gulch. Jusr three weeks from this day the republican state convention will meet at Lincoln, but no steps have as yet been taken by the Douglas county committee toward calling the pri- maries or fixing the day for the coun- ty convention, What does this sig- nify! Is John M. Thurston putting up another job to pack the conven- tion and send a delegation of railway strikers to misrepresent this ocity and county?

Views of Don Cameron and Me too New York Iferald. Mr, Cameron was asked “How about Pennsylvania this fall " “Why, it will gorepublican in the fall. 1t's not a very important elec- tion, to be sure, but there is no ques- tion in my mind as to its result.” “Will the reform movements in Philadelphia have any effect 1" ot this year.” he whole situation, state and na- tional, looks well to you 7" “It does. We shall carry our state, and so far as the country at large is concerned it was never in better con- dition.” “What do you think of the Arthur cabinet speculations made daily in the public press 1" *‘Most unseemly, most indelicate.” “‘Has there been no concerted pro- gramme on the part of General Ar- thur and others, yourself included?” ““Nonsense. Tfiut story about a conference was a bold, naked, infa- mous lie. I haven't been near Gen, Arthur's house.” “Do you think Arthur would make a good president if called to the office?” N ““None better. He is a strong, sturdy, clear-headed, honest man of affairs; we respect him very highly in Pennsylvania, and a majority of our delegation supported him in Chicage.” ““Then you think he could be trust- ed in the cabinet matter?” “Of course—who else? If he isto be president he will have a cabinet, nn(E judging by what I would do in his place, he will select his own ad- visers.” “What names have you thought of?"” I can only say that if I were mak- ing a_cabinet, Mr. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, and Senator anwe. of Wisconsin, would be members of it. 1 think, too, that Mr. Windom would be a strong man and give general sat- isfaction.” “Do you believe that any amount of work can_secure a republican victory in New York this fall?” Mr. Platt was asked. “I do, decidedly,” he responded. “‘On what ground?” ““The state of New York, like all other states, is filled with sympathetic people. If the president happily re- covers, popular sympathy with him will make a republican triumph cer- tain.” “‘Suppose the president should die?” “Then vicsory would, in my judg- moent, be equally certam. General Arthur is a New York man.” ““What would be General Arthur's course in reference to a cabinet, if 1t became his province to select one?” ““I don’t care to diseuss that.” ‘‘Have the names of Frelinghuysen and Howe been canvassed at all?” “TI don't know. I can only say that if those gentlemen were in my cabinet they would be heartily ap- plauded by all good men.” “‘Would General Grant be willing to serve?’ ‘‘Gpneral Grant would be, as he al- ways has been, at the service of his country, his party and his friends. He would do anything to help either and all.” ““If the state department were of- fered to Mr. Conkling would he take it?” ““I could not answer that.” ‘It has been published far and wide that you, Senator Cameron, Senator Logan, General Crant, Marshal Payn and other gentlemen met in General Arthur's house and held a long con- sultation on this very matter.” ‘I am glad you recalled that to me. I wish the Herald would give that re- port the lie direct. Deny it without reserve. No such conterence, no such discussion was ever held.” Iron Prison Discipline “‘At the British convict station on the island of Mauritius,” saida gen- tleman, much of whose life had been passed in examining and comparing the various prison systems of the world, “the most relentless discipline I have seen anywhere is maintained. This, to a great extent, is necessray, for it would be difficult to find a more vicious and depraved set of prisoners, Hanging seems to be almost abandoned there, and it is not uncommon for a man to be sentenced to forty years’ imprisonment. Of course they rarely live out these sentences, for the cli- mate of the Mauritius unhealthy in the most favorable circumstances, be- 'comes unendurable under the merci- less rigor of prison life. The island, ou know, belonyfl to Great Britain, and is situated on the eastern coast of Africa, a little below the equator. It is intensely hot and there are not a great ‘many Europeans there; but every night about 1,600 colored pris- oners are locked up in the jail. Dar- ing the day most of them work in chain-gangs, sweeping the town of Mauritius, They do it well, but a pitiful and degrading spectacle is af- forded by lines of strong, able-bodied men loaded down with iron chains on the legs and round the waists, or drag- ging ponderous iron balls after them, toiling through the s'reets. “The rations are inferior to the prison diet of this country, and, as far a8 I know, to that of any other part of the world, For breakfast they get 8 quarter of & pound of black bread and as much water as they want; for dinner, about a pint of boiled rice, with a spoonful of curry and abun- dance of water; for supper the black bread once more and a liberal suppl of water. This is the changeless Elfi of fare, with no difference on Sundays and no meat at all. At night, before going into his cell, every man has to strip himself, and thekeeper examines his clothes for concealed weapons or contraband articles of any kind. The prisoners have also to open their mouths to show that they have noth- mng objectionable there. ~ Each cell is Jocked separately, and then a large iron bar fastens all together. On Sun- days the prisoners are shaved, weigh- e and have their hair cropped asclose w the soissors will reach. “Of course, against this relentless discipline there are occasional upris- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TIIURSDAY SE]’TEMBER 15, 1881 victs about 150 guards are emplo Of these some are w and some colored, but the head keepers are all white,and for the most part, soldiers who have served the terms for which they enlisted. They are armed with car- bines and short bayonets, Once when the convicts man- aged to organize and broke into open reyolt in the prison yard, it was a short-lived rebellion. The guarde, trained to act rapidly and in concert, shot them down like mad dogs and then charged them with the bayonets, The rebels were quickly subdued, and after that they were ruled, if possible, wore rigorously than before.” ‘‘A prisoner, it he sees fit, may make a complant, and if it is n just one it will be attended to; but heaven help the man who complains frivo- lously. Once when I was in the jail a convict at dinner time protested that his allowance of rice was not as large as the regulations re quired. It was measured at once, and found to be a little over the proper quantity. His dinner was taken away from him, one of the most powerful of the keepers seized him, and he was kicked and beaten until, bruised, bleeding and almost insensible, he was pitched head first into his cell. The guards had general instructions not to wait tor orders, but at the first sign of a revolt to fire, “One of the convicts, I remember, was a cripple. His lower limbs were paralyzed, and he moyed along in a sitting posture with the aid of his hands. He was serying a forty years’ sentence for a feculiarly atrocious wife murder. This apparently helpless brate absolutely managed to effect his escape in open daylight, after he had been imprisoned for about twenty years. Owing to his crippled condi- tion, he did not werk with the chain- gangs, but inside the prison walls, and one night, when locking-up hour arrived, his cell was found to empty. A fruitless search was kept up for a week or more, but nothing was ever heard of him. Whether he escaped to sea in an open boat, and made for the far-away coast of Africa or for the island of {hdngucnr, dis- tant four days’ journey by steamer, or found a refuge among the sugar plan- tations of the Mauritius, is unknown. I never heark of another escape being effected, ““I said that hanging was very un- common in the Mauritius. But it is sometimes resorted to, as in the case of the murder of a white man, and a hangman is maintained on the island. This official ought himselt to have been hanged years ago, having been convicted of locking his wife, his mother in-law, two sisters-in-law and two children in a room and suffocating them all with the fumes of charcoal. He was sentenced to fifty years’ im- prisonment, but was liberated on con- dition of his becoming hangman.” — Some Strong Men. In 1871, “Monsieur Gregories,” claiming to be seventy-one years old, mightily astonished the good folks of Hereford by carrying seven hundred weight with the greatest of ease, and by performing certain other extracr- dinary feats. Forall that he was one of the quietest of men, and simple as a child, living in constant dread lest he should be provoked into using his strength unprofessionally; and afraid to nurse his own baby lest he should give it a fatal squeeze. Joseph Pospischilli was wont to amuse the Hunearian public by hold- ing a table in the air by his hands and teoth, while a couple of Gypsies danced upon it to a third’s fiddling. He and one of his brothers would bear upou their shoulders a sort of wooden bridge, while a cart full of stones, drawn by two horses, was driven over it. Falling into evil ways, Joseph was imprisoned in the fortress of Ofen, and one day volunteered to give the prison inspectors a specimen of his abilities; and permission being accorded, he so arranged the govern- or's heavy mahogany table as to hold it suspended with his teeth for nearly half a minute, Joignery, a French professional acrobat, lately performing at a Berlin theatre, executed the following ex- traordinary feat. As he swung head downward from a trapeze, io which his ankles were fixed, a horse covered with gay trappings, and begirt with a broad leathern surcingle having two strong loops attached to it, and mounted by a full-grown man, was brought on the central stage, above which Joignery hung suspended. Seizing the loofiu with his hands, the Frenchman, by shesr muscular strength, lifted horse and rider some inches off the stage; sustained their combined weight in the air for some seconds, and then let them down again as evenly and slowly as he had raised them., Mr. Stanley tells us that Simba, chief overseer of Amu bin Osman's caravan, standing six feet five inches barefooted, and “measuring thirty-two inches from shoulder to shoulder, could toss an ordinary-sized man ten feet into the air, and "catch him in his descent. He would take one of the large white Muscat donkeys by the ears, and with a sudden movement of his right foot, lay the surprised ass on its back; carry a three-year-old bul- lock on his buck half-way round his master's plantation; and once actually bore twelve men on his back, shoul- ders and chest, round Osman’s house, to the intense wonder of a large crowd of applauding spectators. A man of great strength was Wil- liam Joy, known in his days as ‘‘the English Sampson.” He was a native of Kent, having been born near Rams- gate in 16°5. From an early period of his life he displayed remarkable -strength and dexterity for his years; and when twenty-four years of age he began publicly to exhibit his astonish- ing feats, Among other of Joy's per- formunces, he is said to have been able to retain and keep n place a strong horse, urged by wLip to escape his powerful rein, solely by the check of his pull without any stay or support whatever, Aided by a strong leathern girdle or belt and sup- porting himself ,l:{ pressing his arms on | g a railing, he could lift from the,ground a stone said to be a ton weight. He also broke asunder a rope fastened to a wall, which had previously borne more than a ton and a half weight without breaking. Nothwithstandin, his great strength he was possessed o% singularly agile and flexible joints, many wonderful stories being told of his feats in this respect, such as plac- ing a glass of wine on the sole of his foot. which he could twist round with his hands, and conveying the 1lass in this way to his mouth without spill- ing.—[Chambers’ Journal.
