The outbreak of popular indignation againat the miscarriage of justice in Cin. nati was only the violent expression of a fooling that exists almost cverywhere, The same scenes might have been en- acted in almost every city in the country. Almost every locality has been exasper- ated by the same short-comings of the % | courts. While deprecatingall the violence done, it has been hard for most people to refrain from some feeling of sympathy with the first indignation of the mob, A long series of legal farces in all parts of the country have aroused a general ani- mosity against the courts. The last few months have furnished too many in- stances of the escapes of notorious crim- inals from just punishment. There have been too rhany Berner cases elsewhere as well ‘as in Cinein- nati, The dsame causes have prodnced the same officers. Stupid juries, incap- able prosecuting attorneys. A trial sys- tem where every advantage is granted to the accused, and the works of corruption have been more or less observable every where, The lesson of the riots has, of course, been made very plain long since, As other placeshave suffered from the same discase as Cincinnati, other places will watch with interest Cincinnati’s remedies, These are already taking shape. A bill has already been introduced in the legis- lature reducing the number of pre-emp- tory challenges which a criminal may have from twenty-three to eix.. It also raises the number which the prosecution may have from two to four. Perhaps it would be still better if both were given equal advantages in this respect. How- ever that may be, it is plain that this step is an important and valuable one. Be- sides this, bills are pending making a way by which intelligent men can be admitted to serve upon juries, It is also suggested that the time that must elapse between the conviction and execution of a mur- derer shall not be left to the discretion of the court. At present it i arbritarily fixed at not less than one hundred days, These are excellent reforms, so far as they go. There is no doubt that the challenging power has been immoderate- ly. abused by unscrupulous attorneys. The limitation of the evil will be great relief, It is still more certain that the constitution of the modern jury is a great cause of wrong. It is hard to con- sider any worse way of Providence than to'require the courts to search out the most stupid and least intelligent men for such duty, The absurd restriction against men who have read about the case in hand should be removed. How is a man going to be intelligent enough to decide @ cause wisely unless he is also intelligent enough to be well informed on all passing events? 1t is high time that this relio of barbar- ism should be dispensed with. It has interfered with justice long enough. The only trouble with the Ohio reme- dies is that they do not go far enough, Besides what has been proposed, the pardoning power of the governor should be strictly limited. . There should be prompt detection and punishment of men who bribe jurors. There should be some regulation by which one ortwo obstinate fools or corrupt men on a jury might not be able to defeat a verdict. Above all, that perennial source of delay and final impotency, new trials, should be ox- tromely difficult to ‘obtain. A morbid sentimentality has thrown protection after protection around criminals until justice is defeated. ' These protections should be removed. | The criminal should have a fair chance but no advantage. Unless these safeguards for crime be re- moved and the execution of the laws made possible, there may be worse scenes than those witnoessed a week ago in Cincinnatti. Kesides ali this, it may not be amiss to remind the public that other reforms will not be worth much unless the peo- ple co-operate. As long as officers to deal with crime are elected on the ground of merely political claims, or for merely personal reasons, there will be little im- provement. These oflicers must be chosen on the ground of ability and in- togrity. First of all, the political shys- ters and bummers must be swept out. Accorning to the New York Journal the work of building the pedestal for Bartholdi's great Statue of Liberty has been pushed along so rapidly during the pleatant weather of the past few days that the public does not seom able to keep paco with it, The concrete foundation is already up 35 of the 62 feet, and is go- ing up a foot a day. At this rate the base of the pedestal will be completed in less than thirty days, and then work will be begun on the upper portion, The pe- destal will probably be ready to receive the statue by October 1st. It is esti- matod that the pedestal will cost $250,. 000, Fundsare coming intp the Eoin- mittee at present much more rapidly from the east than from the west, There are a number of large promises, however, from the western states, and the agents who are collecting funds in the west are san- guine of a big harvest in a short time, There is about §80,000 on hand now, and $1,000 a week is coming in. ‘I'ng republican central committee of thin county has called the primaries to select delegates to the county convention, which is to select delegates to the distriot and atate conventions, No regular call has been published, however, and if the proceedings are reported correctly, the committee has omitted entirely to desig. nate the places whero the primaries are to be held. Unless this is done nobody will be able to tell who are or who are not legitimately elected as delegatos, Primaries may bo held in a dozen differ. ent places in each ward or precinct and ' & whole army of delegates may come in |ers and newspapers, 0 R S O Bl L VS to claim soats, The outcome may be not only double-headers, but triple and even quadruple headers, It strikes us that the central committee must either be recalled at once, or the chairman must assume the authority to designate in a published call where the primaries are to be held. 1If this is not done until a day or two before the primaries every- body will justly regard it as a trick. The primaries at best are a mere farce, and nowhere and at no time are they an hon- ost exprossion of party sentiment. But there ought to be at least some outward semblance at an attempt to give voters a fair chance and let them know in reason- able time where they may cast their votes. e A MODEST CLAIMANT. The Herald boasts that it is par ez- cellence the greatest newspaper in this part of the west. Tt i8 conceded that it is the great religious daily of these parts, but its claims as a great newspaper are denidedly@fictitious. Dr, Miller, who is generally very modest, tells us in his Sunday morning paper that *‘the Herald itself that it the best con- continues to persunde has becomo one of ducted mewspapers in this part of thoe west.” Now the IHerald may persuade itself, but it cannot pursunde anybody else, 1ts enterprise in publish- ing the news is strikingly illustrated in it issue of the day preceeding. The Herald draws largely for 1ts very latest news on a “‘patent plate’ factory. In re- turn the plate concern compliments tho Herald by occasionally quoting from its columns, About two months ago the Herald published a sensational story en- titled *“The Modern Prize Fighter.” In due time that article was copied and ster- entyped at the plate factory, and shipped to its patrons all over the country. One of these plates made its way to Omaha, and the readers of the Zfcrald were regaled with “The Modern Prize Fighter” as fresh news for a second time. The arti- cle was duly credited by the Omaha ffer- ald to the Omaha Herald. Here is journalistic enterprise for you in a nut- shell. It fully justifies the following modest allusion by Dr. Miller to his nineteen-year-old bantling: ‘“We merely wished to direct attention to the Zerald as a news-paper which gives the people a volume and variety of news in condensed form that make good its claim to the position it holds in their estimation.” on Tua unseemly quarrel between Ex- speaker Keifer and (ien. Boynton, is left, by the reports of the house investigat- ing committee, about where it was be- Saturday | ; of the voters, he has taken it into his head to appear before the national con: vention as a claimant for seats with a delogation of his own. ~TIAL declinations are now in order. First came Justice Field, of Cali- fornia, on the democratic side, and now Senator Miller, of California, telegraphs thathe absolutely will not allow his name to be used as a candidate before the na- tional republican convention. We haven’t heard of anybody pressing Mr, Miller very hard to be a candidate. Next. Presin TuERE is a great deal less of a Blaine boom in Maine than there is in Pennsyl- vania or New Jersoy. Mr. Blaine may become a candidate before the next national ;republican convention, but so far he has kept his intentions, if he has any, oven from his most intimate politi- cal friends, Tue election in Minneapolis resulted in a clean aweop in favor of the republicans, who made a strong fight against the old administration, which had allowed the saloons and gambling houses to run the city. The victory means municipal re- form, that corruption and dishonesty must ceaso, that saloons must pay a high licenso, and that the gamblers must go. It wouldn't hurt Omaha to follow the ex- ample of Minneapolis. CITY WALKS AND TALKS. “‘How did Capitol hill gets its name,” asked anew-comer of an old-timer. ““The old territorial capitol was located on the hill,” re- plied the old-timer, ‘“‘where the high school now stands, Tt was bui cost of 8100,« 000, and was fi .

C. Mitchell, nl Florence, who Was quite a prominent man in the early days. He had been an exceedingly bitter enemy of Omaha in the fight for the capital during the first session of the legislature. Towards the close of the fight he was induced to abate his hostility, for which he was well paid. Mitch- ell's influence was sufficient to sett e the capi- tal contest either in favor of or against Omaha, According to agreement, he was appointed the sole commissioner to locate the capitol burlding within some portion of the city. Tho northern boundary of Douglas county—which then embraced an extent of territory mchmg from a ravine on the north side of the south to the Platte river and west to the K| lk- horn—was extended by prozlamation of the governor, 80 as to tako in the whole of ‘Serip lown, in order to give Mitchell plenty of room.” “What was Scrip Town?” asked the BEE'S Man About Town. ip Town had been Jaid out by the owners u( the original town site of Omaha, a sort of ‘precautionary measure,’ mx they called it,” continued the old-timer. fore. The majority report exonerates Boynton, and the minority report sup- ports Keifer, and there is no very satis- factory decision in either. To most ob- servers it seoms as though altogether too much time and attention had been given to this disgraceful squabble. It really doesn't make much difference to the pub- lic at large whether Keifer is a liar, or Boynton is a liar, or both are liars, Con- clusive proof that Keifer slandered a newspaper correspondent could not make the people think much worse of the ex- speaker than they do now. Conclusive proof that a newspaper ~correspondent had slandered Keifer would not develop any' tendency in the corrrespondent suf- ficiently new to be - interesting. The taxpayers of this country are, however, considerably concerned in the fact that three or four days have b en wasted by the house in the iuvestigation of this empty subject. They are the more con- cerned because, in the meantime, im- portant legislation has been made to wait, Tuey are not as dry down in Massa- chusetts as some people think. Jokes appropriate to April first were the order of the day in the legislature of that stato on last Tuesday, the senate making its little joke at the expense of the common- wealth by devoting the session almost wholly to talk, while the house cracked jokes at its own expense. When Bow- ker, of Boston, for instance, was tempo- rarily in the speaker's chair, the follow- lowing was presented by a member and read by the clerk: *‘Ordered, that the committes on public health consider the expediency of instructing our members of congress to enact a law establishing a taviff on birch beer at 800 per cent, and that such a tariff be a tariff’ for the reve- nuo only of H. L. Bowker, of Boston,” Spoaker Marden came in just at that moment and resumed the chair, without giving the house an odportanity to adopt the order. Mr, Bowker is evidently an an extensive manufacturer of that tem- perange beverage, knowm as birch beer, which cheers but not inebriates. Business failures during the quarter, ended April 1st, exceed any number for a like perivd for many yeara. They num. bered 8,520, with total liabilitios of - 138,414, The total failures during the quarter ended January 1st, were greater than had been known in any like period since 1878, In spite of the increasing number of failures, and the cortain em- barassinents which they bring on com- merce, congress still refuses to passa national bankruptoy law. There is no doubt either of the pressing necessity for such & law, or of the demand of the business interests for it, But congress continues to negleot i Tuk so-cslled foot and mouth disease has died out about as suddenly as it ap- peared, and in this respect it bears a striking resemblance to several presiden- tial booms that sprang up like a weed and werp cut down and withered ina day. ; Missouri, Ex.Boss Friiey has become a disturb- | ing element in the Iepublican party of Having been repudiated by | not only the reputable Republican lead- \ but by the masses | “Serip Town was about half a mile wide, and adjoined tho north and west sides of Omaha, The stock was used to buy up members of tho logislature, There was a pile of that scri used, I can assure you. Well to return to my old friend Mitchell, who_climbed the golden staira many years ago. When tho voteon the capital question was about to be put in the council, Mitchell explained, as others, with the same interest as himself, had gone back on him, it would now be every man for himself, and that he would therefore locate the un]utul building within the city limits of Omaha some- where on the line between the Ciancy claim and the Jeffery claim. The line between theso two claims ran from the Sulphur Springs back to the high ground. Ho was favor impressod, he said, with the location noar Sul- phur Springs, and also with that of the high ground further back, but he wonld not deter- mine the matter until further examination. A short time aftarwards, however, Mitchell stuck his stake for the capitol building, on Capitol hill, where it was afterwards built, In the summer following, Mitchell advertised about sixty lots in the city of Omaha for salo at aue- tion, and the lots sold for about $60 each.; T would like to buy them for that now. . Of course it was always suspected that the pos- vession of those lots wa. the result of Mitchell throwing his influence in favor of Omaha, =~ When Nebraska was admitted as a state in 1867, it was pro- vided in the state constitution that the first stato 1.-,N ture could locato the seat of gov- yvernor Butler, the first elected governor, called the legislature together at Omaha on the 16th of May, 1 At that sossion the capital was removed to Lincoln without any opposition from the citizens of Omaha. The city of Omaha then ucquired tha titlo to Cupitol square, as it had been do- naged to the territory for legislative puposes only, it being provided that it should revort to the donors in case it should be used for any other purpose. The legislature, in granting Omaha's petition, made 1t conditional that the ground should ba used for school purposes. “Tho capital building was torn down, and the i v erocted in its placo (l; 1-’ during tho yoars 1 “Speculation in (m.m.:s must be on the fucrease in Omaha,” romarked a gentloman who occasionally favests in corn and wheat. “How's that?” ho was asked. **Another com- mission house has been established here, It was only & short time ago- -not more than two years ago - that & sinvle commission houde would pay.

The softest note can bo distinctly heard in any part of the house. The building is well proportioned, and the anditorinm being on the second floor iustead of on the ground, is no doubt one reason for its possessing such admirable acoustic quali- ties. Gorster has just oxpressed the same opinion as myself.” “Ttaly may be the home+of music, but itis sadly deficient in boauty,” remarked a young man who had been gazing at the chorus girls «f Her Majosty's Opera company. * ‘Her Majesty’, in solecting that chorus had a poor eye for baauty, but a pood ear for music, for those womon can sing if they aro homely,” said another, “'Tho fact of it is that a homolier lot of women were nover seen on any stago.

I heard Pattiin conoert at Salt Lake, and the highest price of admission was only a dollar,” said he, “‘and more money was taken in than would 'bo ob- tained in Omaha at 5.00a seat, You sce Patti sang in the tabornacle, which can seat 20,000 people, and there were about 16,000 present ab a dollar_each.
