The first rellable information we are likely to get s that the general has had a dccistve engagement, So long a8 the seat of war is eight days’ dls- tant from the base of supplies no men will be wasted in sending messages of progress to the settlement. That is not Gen., Orook's custom, When Juh's band Is defeated we may expeot official nows from Orook, Until that officlal nformation comes, all reports from Tombatone and Tuscan, and El Paso may be put down as the products of frontier imagination, S——— Tur great Brooklyn bridge, which had only been opened to the publio last week, was the scene ot a terrible catastropby in which & number of people were crushed to death. The tmmediate cause was a panic followlng a jam among several thousand men, women and children who had been wedged {n near the New York en- trance to the bridge for hours in a valn effort to force thelr way over the great structure, Fall and graphic detalls will be found In our telegraphic dispatches, which also explain the cause of the great crowd at the main stalrway to the grand thoroughfare. Tux editor of anewspaper In Bote- tourt county, Virglols, has been clted to oppear before the judge of the county court or ontempt of court, Having acons judge of pscking a grana jury, the editor will be forced to defend himself not before a jury * but before the very man whom he has aocusod, This matter of constructive contempt Is always In dan- ger of becoming & gross Injustice, The power of pun- lshing for contempt of court by sum- mary process ehould he confined to acts and words in the presence of the court on the bench, A judge who ls falsely acoused In a newspaper has the same right of actlon for libel that all other cltizens have, and he should have no other recourse. The laws and customs of this country never will harmonize with a practice which makes an aggrieved person judge and jury in his own case, THE NEW ASSIGNMENT LAW. Nobraska merchants will be vitally interested In the new assignment law passed at the last sesslon of the legis- Inture, and which goes into opevation on the 1at of June, Inmany respects it is the most comprehensive and sweeping measure relating to Involan- tary baokraptey which has been placed on the statute book of any state, and Is unique In the safeguards which it throws around the rights of crediters as a protec tion against fraudolent assignments The new law occuples twenty full pages of the Laws of 1883 and any- thing wore than a bare outline ot its provisions is Impossible, It provides that all assignments shall be of the entlre property of the assignor, both real and personsl, excopt such as s exempt from levy and execution un- der the lawa of the state, and requires a separate description of each, which mast be recorded In the county clerk’s office within twonty-four hours sfter the assignment s made. If real eatate Is conveyed by the asslgnment to the sheriff, who in all cases must be the original assignee, such real estate must be recorded in the deed record and entored upon the numerlcal Index of deeds, and within thirty days it must also be entered In every other county in which real ea- tate conveyed s situated. Immediate- ly upon the executlon of the inetru- ment, the sheriff takes possession of the property and 1s thereafter re- sponsible for it until he turns it over to hls successor under the law, With- in ten days an lnventory must be filed by the assignor in the cflics of the county jodge, giving the names and reridences of the creditors, the sum owing to each of them, the true con- slderation of the llability, every ex- fstlng judgment or mortgage, or other securlty given tc secure the pay- meont of such debts, all the property exempt from executlon and a com- vlete list of all property not exempt. Within fifteen days after the fillng of this Inventory, the county judge is required to call a meeting of the creditors to seloot by ballot an assignee to succeed the sheriff, who shall pro- ceed at once to make and return an appralsement of the entire estate, and within forty-eight hours after filing such appralsement shall enter into a bond In twice the amount of the appralsement to falthfully perform his dutles. The law provides that claims against the assigned estate shall be filed with the oounty judge on a day fixed by him, which shall not be more than 60 days after the meeting of the creditors to select thelr assignee, All contested claims may be prosecuted by olvil ac- tlon in the county judge's court, and appeals will llo under certaln restric- tlons to the dlstriot court, where such oasvs shall have preference on the docket. Within throe months after the in- ventory the county judge shall order a distribution cf all fuads in the as- slgnees hande, and aa soon as the real estate has been disposed of, the pro- ceeds shall aleo be distributed cquita- bly among the creditors, No preferrea debts are allowed in asslgnment under the new law except debts of not more than $100 to any one person for wages. Stringent provisions are made agalnst fraud in aselgnments. The secretion of prop- erty, the oconcealment, alteration or multilation of bopks, the obtaining of oredit prior to an assignment under false pretenses, or the disposal of goods, with the knowledge of im- pending assigment, are all made pen- {tentiary offenses, It will bo seen from this hasty ab. straot of the prinolpal provisions of the new law that It will work a com- plete revoluticn in proceedings by as signment In our state. Under its op- eratlons it will be decldedly difficult to make money by falling in Nebraska, It will be equally difficult for one olass of oreditors to profit at the expense of another, while an equitable and speedy seitlement of the estates of assignors is assured. With such safeguards thrown around them by the state, wholesale dealers and manufacturers will be able to sell on much oloser margins in Nebraska than heretofore. The retall dealer will In turn dlspose of his wares at reduoed rates, with ereater profit, and the consumer will, in the end, profit by the cheapening of merchandise, —— Tuz procession on Decoration Day was noticeable tor the small number of veterans who marched ig the line, The Glee club turned out In fall force and the sectlon devoted to *‘other so- oletlos” was well filled, but less than & company of old soldlers tock part in the streot parade, The Grand Army of the Ropublle does not contaln & fifth of the discharged sqldlers of the late war but thero was scarcely a corporal's guard of the G, A, R, fol- lowlng the carrlage in which rode the grand commander of the order for the United States. With nearly a thous- and ex-unfon soldiers in Omaha and vicinity, scarcely a hundred took thelr places In the procession, There must be some reason for this refusal of our veteran soldiers to par. ticipate In the ceromonios of & day which appeals powerfally to their sontiments of loyalty, and remem- brance of the dead. We bellove that it1s founded In Omaha In repugnance to that claas of men who have rung the changes upon the G, A, R. snd the army In ordor to advance their own pernonal and political interests, Thore are hundreds of old soldiers who have refused to connect them. selves with posts becauss thoy had no respect for local commanders, and there are tcores of veterans entitled to wear the G. A, R. bacgs, who will not pin It on their coats and obey the orders of men with whom in private life they would be ashamed to as- noclate, The alm of the Grand Army of the Ropubllc is an excellent one, but the organizavon in Omaha has been se- rlously compromised by belng made unconaclously to many of its wembers the tool of scheming politiclans, Oa this account it is no csuso for surprise that its ranks are thin when an occaslon comes for an exhibitiou of Its membere, — Tk foll text of the papal circular has jost been published. After read- ing 1t many will be suzprised that such an apparently inoffonsive document should have glven rise to such bitter controversy. The Pontiff deplores the condition of Ireland, sympathizes with her In her sufferings and says nothing that can be contorted into a denlal of her rights to batter hor conditions by logitimate meaus. He does, how- over, denounce murder and felony as crimes forbldden by the church and which cannot be palliated even on the grounds of patriotism, He dlsap- proves of collectlons ralsed in order to fuflame the passions, and to be ased a8 a means of leading men into rebelllon against the laws, especially when in such movements ‘‘no cen- sures are pronounced agsinst the crimes and murders with which wicked men staln themselves, aud especially when it is asserted that the measure of trae patrlotism is In proportion to the amount of money given or refused —=89 a3 to bring the people under the preesure of Intimidation.” The circn- lar concludes as follows: “‘In these circumstances it must be evi. dent to your lordship that the collection called the ‘Purnell Testimonial Fund’ can- not be approved by this racred congrega- tion; and consequently it cannot be toler. ated that any eccleriastic, much less a hishop, 1d take any part whatever in recommending or promoting it.” It is to & misquotation of this last sontence of the papal letter that ex- coption has been chiefly taken by the Irlsh Catholics. A ocarcful reading of the olrcular falls to show any prohibition of aglta- tlon on the part of the people. It Is addressed to the bishops and the olergy. It forbida their parttoipation o polities but virtually leaves the battle to thelr flocks, There i noth- ing in the letter, so far as we can see, to ralse any diecussion as to papal fnfallibility or as to the right of the most loyal Oatholles to contribute to whatover funds they please. A tem- pest has been raleed 1n a teapot, through butohered reports of the Papal circular, which on the whole is a very harmless document contalning some sound morality, a good deal of common sense, and a sprinkling of paternal advlco Ir costs the government $160 o year per oaplta to keep the Indlans lszy aud shiftless, From 1869 to 1883, the expenditures on acconat of tho Indian bureau bhave been $91;- 000,000, From 1856 to 1860 they were $49,000,000, This excees of $42,000,000 notwithstanding the de- creasing numbers in the tribos has not been attended by Increasing docillty and ambitionto be ocivilized, There are several ecrews loose In our man- agemont of Indlan affatrs. Tus perfeot safety of the Brooklyn bridga and utter groundlessness of a panio mast be apparant to every in- telligent person conversant with the following facts which were published by leading New York papers the day after the opening: The instrumenta for determining the de- fection of the East River bridge cables on the opening day showed that in the mid. die of the day, when a great many were passing back and forth, the deflection was a triflo over three inshes, When the pro- cession with President Arthur at its head came #0ross, the ine struments marked » deflaction of three inohes more, making about six altogether, ‘When the procession had reached Brook- lyn the bridge came back again to its original deflection of about three inches, The engineers had expected a defleotion of more than six inches, and were surprised at th idity of the structure. One of them says the bridge span can drop down four fees before the limit of the elasticity of the oal reached —a deflection of five feet rep: @ limit of the cables’ strength. In othcr words, it would be next to impossible to rncl any such load upon it as would render {t unsate, ‘Woerk for the Next Congress. San Francisco Chronlele, 1t1s an old proverb, “Who owns the land will rale the countay.” The wisdom of this proverb was overlooked by the several o ngresses that grauted away 200,000,000 acres of the national domain to rallroad corporations, for in g0 dolug they virtuaily sbdlcated the government of the country in favor of tho grantees; and as 1f this were not enough the grants were worded 1n sach a slovenly way as to deprive the states and territorles in which they are located of the power to tax them. It is reported thst, on account of the efforts of the Contral and Unlon Paclfio companles to evade the obligations of the Thurman act of May, 1878, a number of senators hayve annouuced their intentlon to move In the next congress for such amend. mente of that act as will make its pro- visions more stringent and wmore oer- talnly insure a sinking faud sufficlent for the payment of the bonds, princl- Bnl @od interest, loaned by the nited States to these corporations, That Is very good as far as it 008, but the assurance of payment or the bonded debt is a small matter comparatively to the addl- tlonel legislation demanded in relation to the land grants, If corgress can alter or amend those paria of the et of one of theee subeddized con e relating to the payments to be made upon the loan, it hes oxactly the ssme power to alter tha terms of theland grant, so far as the unpatented parts are concerned, Every one of these chartors contalus the provislon that ‘‘congress mey at any time alter, mod- ify or repeal tho same.” It was this eaving clsuse that passed the Thurmsu act through the house by a vote of bot two negatives out of more then 230 members voting, acd by an ove:whelmlog msjority in the senate. The arguments in favor of ‘‘vested 1ights” and the sa crednees of the obligation of a con tract wore sll In valn, as agalnst the specific rovervation in the chatter of the right and power of congress to alter, wodlfy or ropeal, This reser- vatlon became qulte as much a part of the contract as the loan of bonds or the graut of land. And when the act wasa tested in the supreme court, that tribunal so held, but one of the justices - Field, of this state, who got his place through Central Pa cific asalatance—belng of a contrary opinlon. Slnce then the court has been reconstructed Among the new justices are Grey of Massachuosotte, Blatchford of New York, Woodsof Goorgls and Mat- thews of Ohlo. The full court con- talns nine jadges, Including the chief- justice, 1f all the new appolntees should concur in the epinion with Fleld, a similar cuse being presented to the court, it would be decided that the Thurman sot is unconstitational, But there Is no good reason for the be- Itef that any other of the now justices than Staoly Matthews would “concur with Fleld. The reason for supposing that he would is founded on his argnment s & senator from Ohio in the discussion of the principles cf that act, in which he tock the same view thet field took in his dissenting opinion asa justice of the court, It 1s public opiuion that, on a rehearing of the case, or on & hearlng of another oass lnvolving the same princlples of law, the court would, as now consti. tuted,declde as before—in favorof the constitutionality of the aot, And thia brings us to the text of this articlo—‘‘Work for the Next Oongress,”” The work we mean s the amendmont of the land graat charters, 80 that the granlees may be com. pelled to pay at once the expenses of surveying the grants and take out patents for the same, that the states and territorles may be enabled to take the land. Another needful amend- ment {s thie: Whenever In the origl- ual charter there s avything fo the grant obicare or ambigu- ous, to alter it so that It shall be made plain and unambiguour, On acovunt of one of these obscurities in the charter of the Cantral Pacific, that corporation has been enabled by a groes fraud to sell 1ts ansold lands af- ter three years from the completion of the road to a syndioate subatantitially composed of its own directors, the original grantees—that it to sell to itself, Thisls so manifestly Incon- slstont with the intent of the grant that 1t only requires to be presentea to the court In proper shape to work forfelture of those parts of the grant which romained unsold three years after the completlon of the ro; The supreme court has deolded tl ch & #ale in lump might be made under the wording of the original charter, which was ambiguoue; but it has also decided that congress may alter, or amend, or repeal the original char- ter, This ls the amendment which should engage tho attention of the next congress. 1t will be eary to show that the sale was a fraud and that, In fact, nothing was sold, It will be pleaded that right te the land 80 trandulently transferred veeted in seoond hands, and 1y, thereforo, un- assallable by farther legislation, Bat fraud vitiates everything tn law. And as to tho bona fide individusl pur. chasers from the fraudulent syndl- cates, the smendment should be eo drawn up as to protact their Interests Theae land-grant corporations have 8o far proved themselvea a power within the staie greater than the state, and if they are permitted to hold all the land granted to them on torms of thelr own construction, free from taxatlen, it most be clear to all that power will be increased hereafter just about In proportion to the in- oreate In value of the land. Itisin tho power of congress to take from them all the Iand not sold in good faith within three years after the completion of theroad. The decls- ton of the supreme court reccgnizing thelr right to sell en bloc does not touch this power of ocongrese; first, because the question of fraud was not in the case presented; aud, second, because congross, with a due regard to public policy, may at any time alter or amend or repesl the original charter, as weil with relation to the land grant as to any other part of it The National Board of Trade. 8peclal Dispatch to Tus B CiNOINNATI, May 80.—The execu- tive councll of the natlonal bosrd of trade is In sesslon to-day, Hon, Fred- erlck Fraley, Philadelphia, president.
