Their relations with Egypt have not been disturbed, exceptivg so far as it affected the resi- dent Americans in Alexandria.

That was his trouble before the war and that was the reason of his slavery. But it was supposed that the war settled some things, and among the things it most certainly settled was that this odious distinction on account of color was wiped out, as least so tar as the negro franchise was con- cerned. And so it really is in the north and west, where he is as free in its exercise as the white man. In the south the Herald's statement it true, and pity 'tis, ‘tis true, Here in Nebraska it is strange news to us that the trouble with the negro as a a voter is the color of his skin, CORRUPTING THE SOURCES OF POWER. Resolved, That we demand the enact- ment of a law that will make the tender of a railroad pass or_free transportation to any pablic officer & bribe punishable i the same manner as the tender of money or other articles of value, f a church member of Fremont should tender his minister a few bushels of new potatoes, we do not suppose that the good people of that city would look upon the donation as a bribe, nor would they consider it impossible for the minister toconceive vivid an impression of the short- s of the donor as he would otherwise have had. The presentation by a railroad company of & pass to the officials of the state or;municipality;is, in much the smae ., ich adena tion would be a recognition, nut ui favors expected of the donee, but rather of the importance of the office which he holds. To say that an of- ficial cannot perform his duty to the people, and at the same time accept a railroad pass, is to place a pre‘ty low estimate on the virtue of the com- mon citizen. A better rule than that proposed by the Fremont league would be to leave the matter of the acceptance of the railroad pass en- tirely to the discretion of the official. — Republican The virtue of the common citizen is not above temptation. The great body of the people are moved by agencies. The craft of power is dis- played in securing the organs of pub- lic opinion. Subsidized and venal editors are the very agencies through whom the public virtue is subverted. To say that a railroad pass given to a public officer, who has no means to reciprocate except by favoring the railroad in his offlcial capac- itty, is mnot a bribe, is to say that a railroad pass has no value The courts of this country have time and again decided that railroad passes aro only given tor some equivalent which the railroad company has al- ready recoived or expects to receive, Now what equivalent does the rail- road recelve or expect to receive from the member of the legislature, the governor, auditor, judge or other of- ficer when it tenders them passes? Do they expect that these officers will reciprocate in some way and if so how can they reciprocatc? An annual pass is given to & member. of the legisla- ture from Omeha to Ogdon or Mon- tana. If the member has any busi- ness on the road that pass is worth from §500 to $5,000 a year. Can the men.ber accept such a valu- ble favor without feeling under obligations to return it? Does not the tender of such a pass constitute a bribe as much as the tender of money or other valuable thing? If a church member of Fremont should tender his minister a few bush- ols of potatoes or a barrel of apples would not the minister feel himself under obligattons to the donor! Ho might reciprocate the favor by pray- ers or ministrations to his flock, but no inister with a soul as big as a pin- head could receive aud accept a valu- ablo present without feeling grateful, And why should the grand army of office-holders ride free over the railroads at the expense of the people who pay? Is not this system of giving passes to public officials the entering wedge that railroad managers use to cor- ruptly influence the legislators, gressmen, state officers and iudges who are in the least pliant and cor- ruptible! It 1s because these bribes sap the foundation of our whole system of government that anti monopolists demand the enactment of a law that will mako the tender of passes punishable the same as it was a tender of money or other article of value, To the railroad editors who have sold them- selves soul and body this may ap- pear very absurd. But every honest man who desires to check the reign of corruption and jubbery will recognize the imperative necessity of putting a stop to this wholesale bribery of pub- ic ofticials, con- Our dispatches announce the death of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln at the old home of the martyred president. Mrs, Lincoln had been an invalid almost ever since the tragic death of her hus- band, and of late she has undergone much physical suffering. Robert Lin- coln, her son, the present secretary of war, 18 now the only survivor of the family that occupied the Executive mansion during the historic period twenty years ago. To him the pro- found sympathy of the American people will be tendered in his sad be- reavement, Hon. Lorenzo Orounse. Niobrara Pioneer, The politics of our state are shap. ing themselves in such a manner as to justify the people to make a fight for themselves. Hon. Lorenzo Crounse, present internal revenue colleotor, and formerly member of congress from this state, is now prominently before the people of this district for congress in place ef Mr. Valentine, and from our advices he is going to make a better fight than our present congressman enjoys. It is reported that he will soon visit Kuox county and hecome better acquainted with the people here, and as his record i‘: the best of any man now before the people, except, perhaps, General Thayer, the Pioneer believes him the coming man. Liberal in his views, and frée from those damaging influences that characterize Mr. Valentine's canvass, he will be a candidate the people of Kuux county can well place confidence in. The respective congressional dis- trict being independent of each other will make the third district more local t1an had they becn called in connection with the state convention. It will be comparatively fres from those influ- ences which would naturally wield a great power in the state convention, the two great monopolies of the state being to a great extent out of the field o' power, Judge Crounse will there- fore be a people’s candidate, and his popularity will certainly have much to do in forwarding his interests. Al ways having been a friend to Knox county, our people can feel at home with him in power, It 18 our belief that Judge Crounse will also better harmonize the party’s interests throughout the district rather than split them up as they now are, and bring about more unity in general than itis feared Mr. Valentine will be able to do. The latter kas too many friends to reward who have records not above reproach, even though the Valentine organs are trying to make out to the contrary. The people, however, know better, and exonerating bad men will not prove to the masses that such transactions are beneficial to the par- ty’s good. The New York Governorship—Cornell the Coming Man. New York Bpecial Chicago Times. All the signs have for some days pointed unmistakably to the renomi. nation of Cornell as the republican candidate for governor, Hugh Hast- ings, editor of The Commercial Adver- tiser, the Arthur-Conkling organ, is regarded as a particularly good author- ity on stalwart politics. He said to- day: ‘‘Cornell will lead the ticket. There is no such thing as Senator Conkling's opposition. On the con- trary, it is very largely due ta the common sense and the shrewd politi- cal sense of that gentleman that the shriekers and howlers were unable to switch a pertion of the party off the Cornell track. The senator sees the importance of carrying New York and Pennsylvania this fall, and he is wise enough to cast his advise, his counsel, and his influence for ultimate republi- can victory. So, after careful survey of the ground, he shrewdly says ‘Cor- nell,’ and Cornell it is to be.” *‘Without opposition?” “I don't say that. There will be Wadsworth men, Folger men, and all sorts of men; but they won't be united, They will fuss and fume, and in the end hurrah for Cornell. This state is certain to go republican this fall. The party is strong; per se, its nominee will also be strong. Besides, it is nec- essary for 1884 that we carry New York, and there is no question in my mind, and I believe everybody agrees At sfASIEnIOn i auiooéss: Lt The Monopoly Spider. New York Times. Deep and dark figuring is being done by railroad men to secure the next state legislature. They have a corps of political wire-pullers and tricksters constantly employed at large salaries to manipulate the political department of their business. A vast amount of engineering is done by these men, who have nothing else to do, no other duty to perform ex- cept to see to it that the political ma- chine is in proper running order, and that the grain falls toward the rail- road company’s half bushel. This corps of uncivil engineers are now making their arrangements in every county and congressional district for the fall cam- paign. Law makers are what they want, and there is to be a large crop this fall. A state legislature is to be elected,who will choose a United States senator, and three members of the lower house of congress are also to be elected. 1t is a time for big work and lavish expenditure of money, and they are primed for the occasion. Their best weapon is deception, and they are skillful in its use. They simulate friendship and profess an in- satiable love for the farmers until they get them in their grip, and then they laugh at them and call them soft and green for giving them an opportunity to do so. It sometimes seems impos- sible to circumvent them, and nothing but the intelligence and integrity of the masses gives any ground for hope, THE COLORADO POOL. How Competition Competes by the Bullding of New Roade "*was Ever Thus, Natlonal Assoclated Prese. Cuicaco, July 16,—Managers of railroad s wost of the Missouri river were in consultation again yes- terday, discussing the formation of a pool on business between the Missouri river and Colorado. Mr. Potter, of the Buglington road; Mr. Wheeler, of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe, and Mr, Clark, of the Missouri Pacific, agreed to the conditions of the pooling arrangement, and divided the Denver traflic thus: Union Pacific, 61 per cent; Burlington, 30; Atchison, 19. The percentage to the Union Pacific is for its two Denver lines from Omaha and Kansas City, The smallness of the Achison allotment its due to its having a line to Denver only over the tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande road, The Burlington, be- sides receiving 30 per cent for its Donver line recoives on its Omaha and Kansas City lines a considerable pro- portion of the percentage allotted to the Union Pacific and Atchison roads, swelling its total share of Colorado business to at least 50 per cent. of the whole. The Denver & Rio Grande will be entitled to a small proportion of the per centage accepted by the Atchison company, besides a pro rata share of the through freight, It is understood that either line may, upon nine days' hotice, withdraw from the pool, and each company reserves the privilege of presenting a claim for an increase of its percentage of the traffic. The memoranda of agreement provides for the maintenance of the agreed schedule rates. The gross freight of all the lines is to be pooled. zr-Nothing so simple and perfect for coloring as the Diamond Dyes, For carpet rags, better and cheaper than any other dye-stuffs. A FEARFUL “ FLOATER.” The ‘' Big Ditch " Gives Up Ifs First Victim. A Fisherman Rescues a Body from Crawflsh and Leeches, A Ghaetly Inquest on River Bank at Sun- rise. the The VerdiCt of the Coroners Jury. A coroner s inquest was held at an early hour Saturday on the river bank near the mouth of what is known as the “Big Ditch,” the outlet for the North Omaha creek sewer across the river bottom. In this ditch a ghastly object was found floating and there waas little doubt as to the cause, Ira Williams, a fisherman well- known along the river front, was ex- amining his lines Saturday about 7 o’clock and was in the act of pulling in one he had thrown at the mouth of the North Omaha creek, a short distance above the shops. While at this work he saw a “floater” in the ditch and not _over twenty feet from the river. The water was not deep enough to let the body, for it was evidently that of a human being, sink, and the fisherman with a pole drew the horrible object to the bank and secured it, after which he went to the office of the Smelting works and noti- fied Coroner FJacobs by telephone. The latter a% once repaired to the spot and impannelled a jury consisting of F. D. Kent, .C. C. Megeath, Peter Dowdall, John Dowd, James Horan, James Pierson, who proceeded to ex- amine into the facts, ,Ira Williams be- ing the only witness examined, From the papers and articles found on the body it was identified as that of William H. Hewitt, presumably from Marion, Ia., although he has evidently traveled about a good deal, and had transfer and street car tickets, badges, press notices, and so on, that were from Chicago, Milwaukee, Marion, Council Bluffs, and a number of other places. 'Uhere were several notes and due bills, one of which was evidently paid within the past few months and bore the name of S. C. Palmer, of Marion, In the pockets were two pocket- books, a watch and chain, and ten dollars and over in bilis and coin, one of the coins being an old dime evi- dently carried as a keepsake. There was also a miscellaneous assortment of trinkets, such as scissors, spectacles, match box, ring and so on, The watch had stopped at 10:47 exactly, and it is supposed that at that hour the unfortunate man met his death, and it is believed to have cccurred Friday night, as the body was neither swollen nor decom- posed, The man wore a dark blue coat and veat, striped pants and white shirt, collar and necktie. A bloody face and eyes protruding from their sockets were the causes of scme talk of murder or foul play, but this is not probably true, as had the motive been robbery the man’s pockets would have been rifled. A time schedule of the C., St. P. & M. road, and some esti- mates on two miles of road indicate that the deceased was a railroad boss or contractor, and that he had figured on the con- struction of the new Milwaukee line to Omaha. It is believed that he came to this city, got intoxicated and wandered off in the direction of the river, On _striking the track which runs along the river bank toward the engine house of the water works com- pany, he must have steered for that seeing the light and expecting to get in, It was excessively dark and he probably did not eee the bridge across the big ditch, which is about two rails long. On steppiug upon it be proba- bly feil and struck his head on the outside rail and tumbled from thence into the filthy water of the creek, where, in his insensible cendition, he was drowned. This was the conclu- sion arrived at by the coroner’s jury, who found a verdict to the effect “‘that the said William H. Hewitt came to his death by drowning.” A more horrible looking floater has not been pulled out for & great length of time, The sand had already penetrated the heavy garments of the unfortunate man and the body was almost unrecognizable as that of a human being, from the mud and dirt which covered it all over and which parted from the skinin a solid crust from one to four inches thick, A crawfish had fastened itself on the right cheek and a couple of enormous leeches wera pulled off full from their horrible banquet. The man was net over forty years of age and was well built and could not have been bad looking, A telegram was sent to Marion and if no reply is received the property of the deceased will suffice to give him a decent burial THE REMAINS CLAIMED, A reply to the telegram sent by Coroner Jacobs was received Satur- day evening from D. F. Meek, who is a son-in-law of the deceased. He asked for particulars and a descrip- tion of the body, and said he would then telegraph them what to do. The response to his inquiries was appar- ently satisfactory, for yesterday morn- ing Mrs. L D. Carhart, of Marion, resident of the Iowa state W, C. T, ., and Mr. James C. Young, a real estate broker of Cedar Rapids, arrived in the city to claim the remains on behalf of the fumily and take them home. From there it was learned that the deceased, William H. Hewitt, was proprietor of the Park Place hotel, of Marion, and also owned an exten- sive clothing house at the same place. He left a wife and three children, his youngest son having graduated at the Towa state law school, only & fow days ago. He left home on Wednesday, for Omaha, to look after some property out hero and was two days on tho road, arriving on Friday, The cir- cumstances all confirm the theory giyen above of the manner of his death, The remains were taken east yosterday afternoon to a small town about fifteen miles from Davenport, where his family burying ground islo- cated. et & — THE INCENDIARY'S TORCH The Proprietor of the Turmer Hall Restaurant in Limbo. Hvidences of the Oriminal Ori- gin of the Late Fire. Tin sasins, Old Rags and Kerosene, Following the fire Friday there were a number of rumors as to the origin, many openly alleging that it was started by 8 C. Hollander, the proprietor of the restaurant in which the fire broke out, These became more outspoken as the night ad- vanced and persons had time to talk the matter over, and resulted in an investigation by Chief Buttler, who found evidences upon which he felt warranted in filing a complaint, which was done, and at an early hour Sat- urday Mr, Hollander was arrested on a charge of incendiarism and taken bofore Judge Beneke, who held him 1n bends in the sum ot $2,000 to ap- pear on Monday for examination, and as he was unable to give them, he was committed to jail, from which he expects to be rolieved, as he claims that Ieaac Brown and Henry Spiegle will go his bail. The cook, Mary Reese, claims that the fire broke out within five minutes after he had left there. The prisoner, on the contrary, claims that he left his room with his wife about 3 o'clock to pay a visit to a friend who lives in Beemer’s block, and that he knew nothing about the fire until a buy came and notified him, and as to the origin he could only say that he was not at home and knew nothing about it. He is about twenty-five years of age and has only been married a few weeks, There 1s no doubt upon the part of the oflicers that he is guilty of the alleged crime, and it is claimed that the cause was that the restaurant was not payiog and he thought in this manner to get out of it. A Bee reporter uulled on Chief Butler, and from him it was learned that he proceeded to the restaurant and on examining the premises dis- covered under the bed in Hollander's room a tin wash-pan filled with rags saturated with kerosene oil, and the origin is pretty plain, At an early hour in the afternoon Hollander and his wife went away and got some gro- ceries, etc., which he brought back to the restaurant and asked one of the girls if she needed him, and she tell- ing him no he then went into his room and remained there a few minutes and left the door partly open, and return- ing to the girl said, I quessif you don’t want me 1 will go where my wife is. She replied that she did not need him. Just then some one came into the front room and the girl said some one wants to see you in the front, and as walked towards the front room he carefully locked his bedroom door. He re- marked as he left: I am going where my wife is, see that everything goes on right,” There were three girls there at the time the fire broke out, and they became so scared as soon as they saw the flames that they at once start- ed carrying their trunks out instead of giving the alarm, and thus the fire got a good start before the department were commuunicated with.
