The court based its decision upon the general principle that the benefit of the doubt is always to be allowed to a state authority in the exercise of its soveroign right of taxation, m——————— Evezy now and then the supreme of the United States gotsa down to business and gives us an opinion of ronl value, Its latest effort thoroughly disposes of the troublesomo question s to what does not constitute an in- temperate man. A man in taking out # life insurance policy stated in the application that he was ‘‘of temperate habits and had always been so,” After his death the company in which ho was insured contested the payment of ~, the policy because the man was found £ have had an attack of deliriun tre- mens before the date of his insurance. The court decided that the answor was not suflicieat to vitiate the polioy, holding that delirium tremens may result froza a single instance of over indulgence in liquor and that it it possible for a man who had sufferec from that disease to truthfully dis- eribe himself as aiways Laving bee tempe a‘el + FRTE CANAL®. Both houses ot the New York legis- Iature having passed the proposed amendments to the state constitution, by which the canals will hereafter be free from tolls, the people of the Empire state will be called upon in the November clections to ratify the action of the legislature by a popular vote. Every portion of the west, no less than New York state itself, is interested in an affirmative vote on the proposition. The Erie canal has for years partaken of the chardcter of a national highway. Millions of tons of merchandize, valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, has annually passed through its banka and locks from the lakes to the seaboard. Be- fore the introduction of railroads it was the solo outlet for tho produce of the then developed west and since the = ora of railways it has proved the greatost check to the extortionate domands of the monopolies. For eight months of the year a cheap and constant competitor for traflic not requiring speed in delivery. Its close at the end of the season has always been the signal for an immediate ad- vance in eastbound frcights by the trunk lines. Decreased cost in railroad main- tenance, increasing competition on the part of rival lines, and diminished tariffs, have taken away from the Erie canal many of the advantages which up to a few years ago it pos- sessed over the railways as a competi- tor for freights. In 1880 its traffic was greater than ever before, but last year it fell away to such an extent that it became evident that measures must be taken either to make it free of tolls or to operate it at a constantly increasing loss to the state. The proposition to remove all tolls from the canal was introduced into the leg- islature of New York, and at once met the hostility of the monopolies. The lobby at once recognized that the removal of the canal tolls meant con- stant low rates on the railroads, and they fought the bill with all their weapons in both asgembly and senate, The anti-monopoly league did excell- ent service on the other side. Every member of the legislature eleoted on anti-monopoly pledges cast his vote for free canals, passed. 1t was brought out in the debates on the question that fully 60,000 citizens of New York are en- gaged in commerce on the canals, earning annually not less than $25,- 000,000, and that the tax necessary to maintain freo waterways would be scarcelyone-fifth of a mill a year on each dollar of assessed valuation. ‘When the amendments are passed, a8 they doubtless will be at the coming election, tho great canal will beas much of a national waterway as the lakes, and with the construction of the Hennepin canal, the Mississippi dnd the Atlantic ocean willbe joined by a bond over which the monopolies cannot exercise control, NEBRASKA meeds greatly a 'law against the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine, lardine and other va- rioties of bogus butter. A good deal of this stuff is already on sale in our city, and is daily dealt out to fhe poorer classes for the genuine ‘article, Whether the stuff is healthy, as claimed, is not the question, although some experiments made in 8t. Louis would throw considerable doubts on that subject, According to the re- ports of a private detective who has been investigating the manufacture of butter sold in that city, a good deal of the butter consumed in St. Louis is made from the carcasses of dead animals picked up on the streets which are cut up, the fat sepaiated by a chemical process, the oleomarga- rine extracted, culored, packed and sent: down the. river, There it is marked ‘“‘Oreamery} {Butter,” and shigped back to St. Louis dealers. Missouri has a stringent law against the manufacture or sale of the stuff, and a number of arrests will be the next thing in order, If such adul- terations were sold as adulterations, the case case jwould not be so bad, for people could choose between high prices for the genuine arlicle and a lower price for the imitation, As matters now stand, they are deliber- ately swindled by the substitution of the one forthe other, and tha dealers reap the enormous profits resulting from the fraud. Obtaining money under false pretenses is crime, and it ought to be treated as such in what- ever form it is perpetrated, — Rosewater received a terrible Llack ut Weat Point last woek, Wilh grext vomp and bluster ho attempted to tackle Valentine in his immediate howe, but his olfactory glands scented & mouse and he crawled out through the back door, He -:Idn’t (onlu i‘ln n'flhn‘uo‘ t]hue.

Mr. Clarence Seluh, editor of the Norfolk Journal, and his brother-ip. law, 5. R, Bartlett, editor of the Weat Point Republican, are only trying to and the measure! I'fK OMAHA DALLY BEE: MONDAY APRIL 10 1062 pay a debt with bogus currency by ooining lies about Rosewater, Tt is & matter of record that Valen- tine procured a back pay pension amounting to over $1,600 for Mrs, Eliza Selah, of West Point, the mother of Clarence Selah, upon per- jured testimony representing Isaac Selah, the husband of Eliza and father of Clarence, as habitual drunkara who had for sixteén years past failed to proyide the necessaries of life for his wife and family-~when in fact the family were able to take an care of themselves and Isaac Solah was able and willing to work, This is the milk in the Bartlett and Selah cocoanut. We admire political grati- tude, and if these champions of Val- entine would only aim somewhere near the truth in their gallant efforts to sustain their patron pensioner, we should not demur, Offi cinl copies of all the papers in the “‘Selah claim” tile in this office. on Tur houso committee on postoffices has agreed upon a bill that will afford the people much needed facilitles for sending small sums by mail. The old shinplaster currency was at one time a very useful medium for this purpose but since silver has taken the place of fractional currency great inconven- ience has been experienced and much loss enttailed to many branches of business, The bill prepared by the committee proyides for the issue of money orders for sums under five dol- lars , payable to bearer on demand a any money order office which remitter shall select, for a fee of four cente. This is, perhaps, about as small a charge as the service performed will justify, Asthe order must be en- closed in an envelope the full cost of sending small sums this way will be uaually seven cents; but as the envel- ope will ordinarily enclose also a writ- ten communication, the cost oi the postage stamp will not properly be charged to the cost of the order. The alteration of the postal order is ren- dered impossible by the amount being indicated by punching from the three rows of figures on the margin those representing respectively the amount of dollars, dimes and cents which the order calls for. The only safegnard against theft is the small amount for which the notes are issued. There is | fal at lenst no more danger of loss from this source than existed in the case of fractional currency. The committee lias further agreed to allow one hundred dollars to bo the limit of a single money order, instead of fifty dollars. The charges proposed are very nearly the same as at pros- ent, eight cents instead cf ten heing e lowest charge for sums not ex- ceeding ten dollars, and for sums over thirty dcllars the average charge of ono-half of one per cent is rotained. With the repeal of the two cent tax on bank checks it may seem to be ad- visable to make a corresponding re- duction in postal order charges. The government could even now transact its money order business at a profit at a considerable smallor cost to the public. We cannot expect everything at once, however, and may be content for the present with a reduction of letler, postage to two cents a half ounce, and our money order system rendered more available for the cheap transm ssion of small sums of money through the mails, GoverNMENT employes in Washing- ton are notoriously overwoked, from the register of deeds, where office hours are from 12 to 1 daily, to the poor clerks who are glued to their desks from 9 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. These oppressed serfs of the national government have now made up their minds that they worked too many hours and have set on foot a movement to recover back pay from the government for two hours work since the end of Gieneral Grant's term. Bon Butler has the ‘case in hand and 80 per cent of the claimants have put their claims in his hand; Omo is almost as much amazed as Now Jeraoy over the power wielded by the monopoly lobby in her legisla- ture. The Cincinnati Enquirer in- clines to the belief, although the state- ment may not generally be credited, that at least one official in the legisla- ture is not open to the charge of hav- tog accepted a bribe. It says that ‘‘up to date there is absolutely no evi- dence that the members of the lobby have ever attempted to influence the chaplain of the legislature to make in their behalf any special plea in certain quarters where Lo is supposed to have more or less weight.

BARNUM'S YOUNG MONKE.. = A Birth in Madison Squara Garden A pretty faced and intelligent look- ing little monkey called Mianie, be longing to the Barnum show, pressed a diminutive image of herself to her breast yesterday, and cast half- aflrighted glances through the bars at the crowds. *‘Minnie presanted Jock, the father, with twins yesterday,” explained Keeper Sam Hodges. ‘‘Both were temales. One never drew the breath of life, but the other, safe and well in its loving mother's arms, will doubtless grow up the pride of its parents,” When Mr. Hodges arrived at the garden Sunday morning he found Minnie with a babe in either arm. One was limp and motionless, but the other was ap- plying itself industriously to the task of extracting nourishment from the maternal breast. Mr. Hodges mounted the step-ladder to taxe away the dead babe, and Jock, the father, who was in the next compartment in “‘murderer’s row,” became greatly ex- cited. He almost succeeded in wrenching open the door, and he did succeed in grabbing Mr. Hodges by the hair of the head. He pulled un- mercifully, and only by vigorous ac- tion 1n compelling him to release his hold did Mr. Hodges save' himself from premature baldness. When he had caused Jock to relax his grasp, Mr. Hodges reached into Minnie’s compartment and took her lifeless in- fant from her. She cried like a child at the loss, while the tears coursed down her cheeks. She was nearly distracted, and, with her live offspring in her right hand, extended at arm’s length, ran into the far corner of the cage, She moaned and wailed for a while, but finall, when she saw that she was safe from further interference, and gave her un- divided atteution to her young one. All day long yesterday she held her babe tightly in her arms, and was solicitous for its welfare as any other mother could be. Mr, Hodges said it was the first time twin monkeys were ever born in captivity. The suryiv- ing twin is about five inches in length, with a tail about an inch longer than itself, an abnormally developed head, and a perfect picture of its mother. Minnie is four years old and weighs about 15 pounds. She was brought from Africa when a year old. Jock, the father, has reached the age of 10 and weighs 20 pounds, He was cap- tured when four years old, Patti’s Second Husband, Philadelphia Press, Adelina Patti has been interviewed by The Press. She said: *‘T was luck- lo*s enough to have one husband who undertook to play the brate, aud no man after that could presume to dom- inate meé, No, My huskand is a per- fect child in his devotion to me. He is adored by my family and my inti- mate friends, and,” she added, coquet- tishly, “I adore him,” putting her hands with charming grace into the two palms of the handsome fellow, as he eat rapturously devouring her words, “No,” she continued, ‘‘Monsieur Nicolini doesn’t know just as much of my affairs as my maid or my agont. He simply doesn't trouble humself about them. I know it's useless to say, or for you to write and publish this, because it is a great deal more piquant to read that Patti is punished for reclaiming the right to earn her own living free from a tyraut and an ingrate than it is to believe her settled down in unobtrusive do- mesticity with the husband of her heart, all Jegal objections laid aside. We are this in “law and in fact, as George Eliot was Mrs, Lowes. I don't know whether 1t is prudent for me to say all this or not, al’)(scially if you hold to your threat of publishing it; but somehow these ‘indiscretions’ dul dried her eyes | west. not seem #o bold in French as they may do when you turn them into English.” ‘It were better to say nothing a all,” interposed Monsieur, gravelyy “‘Those who have read calumnies will still believe them; those who have magnanimity enongh to study my wife's life-work will need no assur- ance from herself that she has not be- come an imbecile. As for myself, 1 have the whole love of my wife, She is mine—that is enough.” Yes, that's very well to say,” re- sponded the diva; ‘“but we are both agreed that if things were here as they are in France, some of the scan- dai-mongers would have t> uphold their calumnies to the sword or pistol!” Do Not Be Deceived.

Speclaldispatch to Tus B ‘Wymorg, Neb., April 8, —The quiet sleep of a busy life was suddenly awakened last night about 12 o'clock by a heavy thunder storm, followed by a young cyoclone which completely demoralized six dwelling houses, one business house and a large feed and livery barn in this place, besides twisting and moving from the founda- tion about thirty others and as many minor buildings and sheds. For- tunately no lives were lost. Mr. John Daloy’s house was completely smashed and his family, oonsisting of wife and two children, were tumbled out of bed in their night clothes and rolled about in the mud and drenching rain. Mr. Daley narrowly escaped his life with a few external bruises and broken rib, Mr. N. W, Curtis’ two story dwelling was moved six feet and set down with force that the inmates were thrown furiously across the room, but no damage was done save the breaking of alamp chimney. Stove pipes, chim- neys and plastering are reported broken all over town. The storm seemed to be general and struck promiscuously about the village and lasted but a few minutes. About three inches of water fell in less than as many hours, The entire damage is estimated at §15,000. SAGEORANGE HEDGE—By tho thousand or million. Address D. 8. Lake, Shonan- doah, Towa.
