The militia bill passed by a Jarge majority against the malignant pro- tosts of legislative hoodlums in and out of the legislature, The fact rounds out the matter Iht)niu]l,cumpl.ele and entirely satisfactory vindication of Gov. Nance and Mayor Boyd, and through the written statements of both governor and mayor of what ac- tually ocourred during the labor riots hore, a perfect and truthful history of it takes 1ts proper place in the archives of the state, and the truth, in opposi- tion toa mountain of falsehood, is now made as plain to the people as it was to the legislature. The Herald haa little to add to what it has alroady suid of the promptitude and wisdom with which Mayor Boyd and Gov. Nance acted in an emergen- cy that showed how well fitted both men are for the positions they occupy in public opinion, and also iu public confidence. Gov. Nance is a Republican governor, but 1t is our duty to say of him that his adminis- tration of the executive department of the state government has been as clean as it has been dignified and ef- ficient. Gov. Nanco has had the char- acter and ability to see the line of duty in seversl emergenocies, and the courage and pluck todiechargeit with- out regard to political or personal con- sequences to himself. —Omaha Herald.

In the ten years beginning with 1871 California produced over $132,000,000 more wheat than of gold and eilver, Nebraska bases her prophesies for future development on the remarkable increase in her corual productions, and Omaha is her natu- ral dopot and mart, ——— Tas proposal to make the Bureau of Agriculture a government dopart- ment, recalls to the Philadelphia Reo- ord s story of old time days: in the administration of Mr. Lincoln. Good old Mr, Newton was called from his popular ice cream saloon in this city to take charge of the great govern- ment seed store, known as the Bureau of Agriculture, In one of his official reports Mr. Newton said the expendi- tures of his bureau had ‘‘exceeded his most sanguine expebtations.” ‘When this bureau is raised to a de- jpartment, with & cabinet minister, its expenditures will doubtless exceed the most sanguine expectations of all con- eorned in the job. during the late labor troubles, That queation was not at issue in the oppo- sition to the measure as originally re- ported from the house committee on claims, No member of the legisla- ture proposed to obatruct the passage of any item in the bill which was the legitimate outcome of the call of the Governor, There was no opposition to the payment of the militia who obeyed the Governor's summons, If those members of the legislature who believed the action of Mayor Boyd and Governor Nanos unealled for and unncessary had wished to evidence their belief by opposing the militia appropriation bill, the result on roll eall would have counted up a goodly namber. What many of the legislature did object to was the bare- faced attempt to throttle all discussion of the causes leading to the calling out of the troops, the protests of the oitizens of Omaha agatnstthe necossity for quartering soldiers in our city in time of peace, and the outrageomsly partisan speech of Mr. Bartloct, of the committes on claims, in presenting his one-sided report to the house, They were determined that petitieners from Douglas county should be heard when they demanded a hearing, and the faot that they were enabled to se- care that hearing for Omaha's labor- ing men, when the governor's backers attempted to make an issue of his ac- tion in calling out the troeps, shows that the vindicators didn’t have such a rough-shod viotory afterall. The chief opposition to the militia bill as originally reported lay in the exhorbitant charges made by the gold laced and filagree officsrs who compos- od the acft service brigade duringthe fearful Omaha campuign. Inoutting down one hLall the estimates for the sorvices of the yalorous gentlemen we cannot soe how the vindication of oither Governor Nance or Mayer Boyd was helped or retarded. The membors of the legislaoure who de- fended free speoch and opposed the payment of outrageoms malaries to the gorgeous governor's ataff are ‘‘legislative hoodlums " according to the editor of The Herald. They oertainly do not train with that class of aristooratio pilferers with which the much investigated editor of The Herald is connected. The truth of history cannot be stamped out by mountains of falsehood, even if a whole brigade of buokram brigadiers should certify under the great seal of the Btate of Nobrasks, that they hewed their way through an army of Omaha rioters, and waded through an ocean of blood every time they went to their hLetel for a meal It 15 a well koown fact that the present legislature as a body, no more represer.ts the sentiments of the people of Nebraska on the late labor trouble in Omaha than does the editor of The Herald, the views of our peo- plo upon any questions of publio or private polic; The local taxation in England and Wales is stoadily on an increase. In 1874 the total sum raised was $123, 232,260, and rose until it reacked $165,216,600 1n 1880. As compared with 1874, the poor and police and church rates show a decrease in 1880, the church rate being reduced from $76,850 to $67,030 The highway, sanitary and school board rates rose from $1,269,630 to $6,421.660. The total of loans outstanding increased in the same period from $420,974,780 to $685,483,035. Tar discovery s triumphantly made that Anna Dickinson is & cham- pion of woman suffrage. Acocording to a report of a speech made by the new Hamlet before s Chioago woman suffrage convention, Miss Dickinson said: “I do not say it [that woman should have a vote] for the sake of going to congress. I can safely ven- ture to put the ruling of this conven- tion to-day against that of the viee president of ths United States the other day in the house of representa- tives." [Applause]. If Anna Dick inson's knowledge of congress is a sawple of the political knowledge of —— her suffering wisters, the country wouldn’t be highly benefitted by the sixteenth amendment. When the vice president of the United States presides in the house of representa- tives as stated by Miss Dickinson, the amendment 1nay probably pass. Not before. HONEST ELECTIONS IN THE SOUTH. The Crapo bank bill has passed the house of representatives,and the coun- try will now be troated for some days to come to a long and bitter wrangle over the southern contested election oases. The first to be disputed in partisan debate will be the Mackey-- O'Connor case from Soath Carolina. The oertificate of election was given to Mr. O'Connor, over 3,000 votes for Mackey having been thrown out in the various precincts. Mr. O'Connor died five months after the election. and a new election was called by the democrats to elect his succossor. In this the republicans re- fased to parlicipate, claiming that as O'Connor was never elected he could have no successor. One Dibble was declared chosen and Mackey now con- tests Dibble’s right to the seat in con- gress on the ground of barefaced fraud at the original election. The elections eommittee of the house pre- sent a majority report in favor of Mackey, and a strictly partisan con- test will follow over the adoption of the report. The contested election cases of the present session only serve to empha- sizo the necessity for additional meas- ures to secure honest elections in the south. When a democratic congress so emasculated the federal election laws that it deprived supervisors of election appointed by the government of all power, it opened the floodgates of corruption and fraud in a manner which was promptly taken advantage of by the southern’ bourbons. Under the present law supervisors are only empowered to witness the election proceedings and the making out of re- turns, It is openly charged and not dented that illegal voting, false counting and other violations of an honeat election may take place .under their very noses, and that they are wholly powerleas to interpose. No one knows this better than Mr. Lynch, of Mississippi, who recently geined his seat from the Shoe String distries over Chalmers, and who has offered a bill in the house designed to prevent such frauds as those which counted him out at the last eleotion. The Lynch bill authorizes United States supervisors, or any one of them at any precinct in which the state officers refuse or fail to open the polls to organize an election board and to conduct the election as nearly as prac- ticable 1n conformity with the laws of the state, and to make the proper re- turns, These supervisors are to be of opposite political parties, appointed for every election precinct, and citi- sens of the county or parish in which they are to aot. Theyareempowered, in additon, to be present in the room where the ballet box is kept, from the time the polls sre opened until the last vote is counted. Any ad- journment during that time is strictly prohibited. They are alse requirea to make regular roturns of the elec- tion in addition to those made by the state officers, to report all violations of the act to the chiefsupervisors, and the United States district attorney is given free access to these reports in order to institute eriminul proceedings against violators of the law. Any in- fractien of the provisions of the bill is made punishable, when conviction in any district or cirouit United States ocourt with fine and imprisonment. Mr. Lynchs' bill is timely, and would no doubt if enacted into & law promote honesty in elections, There 18 however, little prospect of its pass- rge at the present session, although some of the facts brought out in the debates of the coming week, will preve the strong necessity which exists for the operation of just such a measure, Bonanza Macxay proposes to build a hotel in London tive times as large a8 any hotel at present in that city.

What He Said to the Laboring Men in Omaha. Omana, May 20, 1882. To the Rditor of The Bee: Will you permit me a short space in your valuable paper to reply to some statements made by the honorable representative of Douglas zounty and chairman of the committee on claims, 1 was greatly surprised in reading the report of the committee on claims on the militia bill and the ocourse taken by Bartlett, who proclaimed himself to me as being a staunch friend of the working classes and an enemy to monopoly. His statements to me and his remarks in submitting the report are so glaringly contradictory and his efforts to injure the laboring class of this city and place them in a false light before the people of the state 80 plain that I deem it to be my duty to reply to his remarks made at Lin- coln. In my interview with him I was accompanied by two other persons members of the labor union one of whom was at that time and is now the secretary. Pursuant to a resolution adopted at a meeting of the union, I waited on Mr. Bartlett and others of the Douglas county delegation, and apoke to them of the, to us, objec- tionable feature in the proposed amendmenta to thecity charter. After discussing that question, reference was made to the late labor troubles in this city and the presence of the militia. Mr. Bartlott said that in his opin- ion the calling of troops was unnecces- sary and that the killing of Geo. P. Armstrong was outrageous aund the murderer ought to be punished. Mr. Bartlett stated in Lincoln that the president of the labor union went to his office in anticipation of the preasent investigation and requeated hixm to do all in his power to defeat any bill of this kind which should be introduced. He says he told me that was no place to discuss the question and invited me togoto Lincoln and appear before the proper committee. I want to say to Mr. Bartlett that he never told me anything of the kind, He never in- vited me to appear before the com- mittee. He told me, in discussing the question, that he was chairman of the committee on claims and he sup- poeed that the bill would be referred to his committee; that if I appeared before the committee my statements might have some weight. It was not my fault that I did not appear before that committee, I was awaiting an invitation from them. I should have gone there if I had got one. Bartlett was, I presume, aware of the fact—consequently did not invite me. I asked Bartlett if it was not possible to make the governor pay the expenses of the militia, in view of the fact that the law governing riots was not complied with? His reply was, “I don’t think we can, because he acted under information received from the mayor.” Very true, I said, but was it not his duty to come hers and from personal observation determine the necessity of troops. If he had done that he would have acted wisely; I have no doubt but that he acted a little hastily. I then said we were not opposed to granting the militia their pay. We want all workmen to receive thoir pay, but under the cir- cumstances wo question the right of the state to pay the bill, as the calling of troops was uscless and unnecessury, and therefora tho officials at whose instigation the troops were brought here should bs held re- sponsible for the il I want it to be distinctly understood that neither I nor the cther members of the committee that waited on Mr. Bartlott reccived from him an invita tion to appear before tha committeeat Lincoln, In the report of the committee it is said that after the troops arrived at Omaha, a collision and fight between the soldiers and the mob seemed for several duys imminent. That part of the repor! utterly untrue. There was not a soldier or a member of the militia that had the least fears of a fight, unless the ofticers of the militia, who are very brave in time of peace, 80 long as they can have headquarters at hotels like the Withnell house in this city. The report further says that a riot existed of the most dangerous charac- ter, calling for a protection of the il habitants of this city, and commend- iug the wisdom of the governor and mayor, It is remarkably strange that Bartlett should he a party to such a report, when he knew the contrary to be the fact. He cannot find a citizen of this city who will say that they needed any protectiom or were afraid that their pereons or property would be injured. Bartlett knew when he signed that report that he admitted to me and my colleagues that the mayor acted unwisely. Eowarp Wausn, Pres't 0. L. P, U, THE EDUCATIOIN OF THE NEGRO, To tho Kdltor of Tua Bex: Will you please allow mo space in your paper to answer & few of the allegations of Doo Miller, in hie oditorial of Friday's Herald, on the “‘Education of the Negro." It is & self-evident fact, that 8 man living in this, an age of light and of advanced civilization, who will assert that & negro cannot be educated is either unpardonably ignorant or mali- ciously false. Mr, Miller says ‘‘the people of the states south would educate the negro in secular knowledge as they educated hi n moral and religious knowledge while he was yet a barbarian and a slave, if the negro would consent to be educated.” Appreciating, as did the negro, the tenor of the so-called *‘religious’’ and “‘moral” education of his Christian master, who devoutly nuus psalms from a Bible held in one hand and im- pressed each psalm with the indis- pensible lash held in the other, and whose highest teaching was ‘‘Servants obey your master,” who can censure him for declining to acoept secular knowledge from such a source! Let us give a passing glance at the } moral and religious education of the negro while he was yet a slave. What was 1t? It was taught him that his highest religious duty was to cheat, steal and lie. Yet Doc Miller despeira of the negro ever becoming ‘‘peer to the master man,” simply because as a bar- barian and slave he could not at one gigantic stride reach this high code of southern morals, He says further that we are a highly imitative race, This we ad- mit, and would retort our morals snd religious status is a fair copy of those of ‘“'the master man.” We will not say that the gentleman has made false atatements, for it would refloct upon the intelligence of your readers. What have we as a race offered to us as an inducemeat to educate our- selves? What positions are open to us in this land of the free! Must we pursue the classics, study the fine arts and polite literature to become good waiters or porters? Yet this very gentleman who has recently grown so solicitious would have us follow these very pursuits forever. We would like somo time to write an article upon the education of the negro at the south for the information of Doctor Miller. In conclusion, I would say directly to men of my own race, that this arti- cle of Dr. Miller's is from the pen of a democrat and a proposed leader of his party. I believe it to be a deep- rooted sentiment and a principle of the party to oppose, not only the edu- cation of the negro, but of all poor citizona of this country. Take note of this and keep it continually before you. Very respecttully, M. O. Ricxerrs. Gospel Truth, He that in surety for a stranger shall smart for it.

A Very Thin Coat of White- wash Applied by Per- kine and Gere While Doane Strikes Him on = Valnerable Spot. The Reports of the Committee. Correspondence of The Bee. Linvonx, May 20.—When the sen. ate convened last Monday Lieutenent Governor Carns vacated the chair to the president pro tem, Senator Dinsmore to appoint the com mittee which was to investigate the charges contained in the Robbarts af- fidavit that had appesred in Tur Brr on that day. Mr. Dinsmore promptly named Senators Perkins, Gere and Dosne as such committee. The prevailiog opinion that Carns and Dinsmore had an understanding about the persornel of the committee has been confirmed. It was well known that the relations of the two firat named members of the ocommittee were very friendly toward Carns, and it was generally predicted that they would whitewash him if such @& thing was possible. This morning the committee made the following report to the senate: The special committee to whom was referred the resolution ordering an inveatigation into the truth or falsity of reports that E. C. Carns, during the laat session of the legisiuture, offered J. C. Robberts, chairman of the railroad committee of the house pf representatives, $5,000, to influence his action as such chairman, beg leave to report that we have carefully ex- amined all the testimony we have been able to find, which is hereto at- tached and make report hereof, and find that the charges are unsustained, and we believe they are without foun- dation. J. W. PERKINS. Chairman. MINORITY RRPORT, Mr. Doane, of the committee, sub- mitted a minority report as follows: The minority of the committee ap. pointed to investigate the charges con- tained in an affidavit made by Hon. J. 0. Robberts, a member of the house of representativer, aguinet the Hon. E. O, Carns, charging him with an effort to influence the action of the said Roberts as a member of the house of representatives and chairman of the committee on railroads in the house, by the effort to induce him, the said Roberts, to accept money to influence such action, begs leave to report that said committes took a considerable amount of testimony, of which a great deal was immaterial, and that which was material was very conflcting. Without venturing to express an opinion upon this conflict of testi- mony, the lieutenaut-governor ad- mitted in his examination, acd sueh admission was corroborated by others' testimony, that he lent himself as a bearer of propositiors from the said Robbarts to the attorney of the Umon Pacific railroad company, then in Lin- coln, during the session of the legisla- ture, for the corrupt use of money to influenca said RobMerts as}a member of the house of representatives and the committee on railroads therein, The minority of your committee can not consent to unite in a_ report which fails to express the most unqualified condemnation of such a compromising position in which the lisutenant.gov- ernor suffored himseif by his owa ad- ministration to be placed. Public officers, and especially those holding positicns as responsible as the presiding officer of this body, can not be indiscreet or over-fas guarding himself and th tho legislature from ences or the susp which ia respectfully submit Gro. W, Doaxs, These reports will draw out & very lively debzto Monday, when the testi- mony taken in the case is read to tho senate. allow THE HOUSE INQUIEY, The committes appointed by the house to inquire into the charges of logislative bribery and attempted cos- ruption of members of the legislature, contined its inquiries exclusively to the Carns aud Robberts controversy. They filed a report this morning, re- flecting severely' on Robberts, and omitting all reference to the criminal course of Carns and the confessed efforts of the railruad managers and their cappers tolpievent legislation and prohibit discrimination, extortion and other existing abuses by railroad cor- porations, The house very properly insisted that the full teatimony should accompany the report of the commit- tee. * Owng to the inability of the official reporter to furnish a complete copy of the of the inyestigation, the whole subject was laid over until Monday afternoon, Both houses adjourned until Monday at 2 p. m. The prevailing opinion is that the heuchmen of the Union Pacific will make a desperate effort to crush Rob- berts by expulsion or a vote of censure, Found at Lact What every one should huve, and never be without, is THoMAS' EcLgotRIc O1L, It is thorough and safe in iw effects, pro- ducing the most wondrous cures of rheu. matiem, neuralgis, burns, bruises, end wounds of every kind. wlddlw —_— OMAHA MERCHANTS, Their Conference with the Pool Line Representatives in Chicago.
