The Republican seems to think that the people will take it for granted that it is the gate thatis squealing in- stead of the pig. Itis not our pig that is under the gate. The reader can judge which is the pig and which is the gate. As Artemus Ward said, *‘You van easily distinguish Daniel from the lion by the umbrella under his arm."” Tue statement that Church Howe was voted for by Fred Nye, Thurston, Pat. O. Hawes, Broafch, ot als., becauso he was pledged to Blaine is absurd. They voted for him because he was allied with the monopolists, They would have voted for the devil on the same con- ditions. Thurston himself was a Grant wman four years ago, and claims now that is firat choice is Edmunds and his last choica is Blaine, Pat. Hawes is a straight out Logan man, and never was for Blaine, Cor, CuarLes G. HaMmonp, who died suddenly in Chicage, was one of the most prominent citizens of that city. He will ‘be remembered by the people of Omaha as the general superintendent of the Union Pacific in 1869. While a resident of this city he made many frionds here. He was a Ohristian gentleman and a liberal and public-spirited citizen. Col. Hammond was conversing with two ladies in a dry goods store when he was attacked and expired almost instantly. He was over 80 years of age, having celebrated his golden wedding s short time ago. He has for a long time been prominently identified with the leadiug charitable in- stitutions of Chicago. As president of the board of managers for the Home for the Friendless he was widely known and esteemed, His sudden death. was not entirely unexpeoted, as he had several times been seized with sinking spells and Jloss of consciousness, ONE of the very first things that ought to be done by the street crmmissioner, if o has the authority, is to thoroughly clean the paved streets, which now lie buried under mud from four to six inches New York Office, Room 65 Tribune A Oommunleations rolating to News and Editorial mattors should bo addressed to the Eprrom or Tam All Businoss Tettors and Remittanoes should’be MATIA- lication of his life in the Philadelphia |, painting their elephants white, and strange to say they are doing it with The verdict wus taken by default, as Vermilye did not This is & moral vindication of THE HIGH LICENSE MUDDLE, Tae present high license muddle which threatens to seriously cripple our Council Bluffs Ofce, No. 7 Pearl| ;1o school system is the legitimate outgrowth of the peculiar India rubber opinion whicli city Attorney Manderson gave to Mayor Boyd when the high li- conso first law went into effect. The Ber protested against this fast and loose construction of the law when it was first made, and we are not at all surprised at the outcome, We maintained then that the license board created by the city or- ™| dinance, under the Slocumb law, was in duty bound to reject the application of every party that was known to keop a disorderly house. Tt was not necessary o at this time to bring out the silver dollars from their hiding places. If this does happen, howover, the result is like- ly to be of a very serious nature. The substitution of a standard or 85 cents for one worth 100 will work great injury to all business inter SPEALING THE DELEGATION, Four years ago the Omaha Republican opposed James G, Blaine, and supported General Grant for a third term. Its fol- lowers were ignominiously beaten, and a delegation was sent to Chicago that sup- ported Blaine for seven days, and finally helped to nominate Garfield. Now the Republican voers around, and attempta to capturo the delegation to Chicago a8 Mr, Manderson then maintained that charges must be made and sustained be- foro the board could rejectan application. It was the duty of the board to ascertain through the city marshal and police the character of the house for which license was asked by ite proprietor, and it was ontirely optional with the board to grant or refuse the license. Had the board acted in conformity with the spirit and letter of the law and exercised this power in the interest of gord order the low dons and dives would all have to be closed, and the more reputable class of dealers would have been able to pay their $1,000 in one installment. The number of licensed saloons would doubtless have boen less, and the income from the licenses some- what smaller. The number of those who kept orderly houses would have kept pace with the growth of the city, and there would have been less fluctuation in the amount of money realized for school purposes, Having started out contrary to law our license board soon became a mere farce. Tho board held no sessions to examine the petitions and bonds of the applicante, and no atten- tion whatever was paid to the laws and ordinances regulating the issue of licenses. Some few paid their $1,000 in advance, others paid $500, some paid $250, and others paid by the month, We are told that a number of saloons have been allowed to run merely for the free drinks to certain city officials, Itis but natural that those who paid regularly would resent this as an imposi- tion upon themselves, And now we have reached the stage where nobody pays, because a temporary injunction restrains the board from issu- ing a license for less than $1,000. The school board is embarrassed, proposed school houses that are needed for the in- creased population are abandoned, and it is even possible that the schools may have to be closed. Meantime our mayor and marshal stand around with folded hands, awaiting a decision of the courts, that can in no way justify the failure to compel the sellers of liquor to take out license. In other words, even if the court should dissolve the injunction and allow the board to issue a license for $1,000 payable in installments, the court cannot and will not decree that the saloons may be allowed to run with- out taking out a license, What is the plain duty of the mayor and marshal in the premises? 1Is it not their duty to en- force the law until the courts say that it isnull and void? It is true that the board is enjoined from issuing a license for less than $1,000, but it is also plain that it can and should grant license to anybody who conforms to the law and pays his $1,000. Suppose the liquor dealers vefuse to take out a license, which they do, since the injunc- tion. Are not the mayor and marshal bound to enforce the penalties provided for violations of the law? 1t is said that our police judge regards the ordinance under which the board is acting as deficient. If that is true, why should the council hesitate about passing a new ordinance that will stand the test and can be enforced. ¥t may take two years before these cases are decided in the supreme court. Are we to have free trade in liquor in Omaha wuntil then? Are the public schools to be closed or are we to abandon needed pub- lic improvements and levy a school tax to meet the deficiency? This is a serious matter and and requires prompt, fearless and energetio treatment. The Slocumb law has been declared constitutional, and is in full force to-day. deep.

Blaine and the leadership of John M. Thurston, commander-in-chief of the Grant forces in Nebraska in 1880. The republicans of Nebraska have not lost their enthusinsm for Blaine, and if the {‘plumed knight” stands a fair show to be nominated at Chicago her delegation, as of yore, will cast its full vote for him. But the republicans of Nebraska who do not wear the brass collar cannot be dragooned or decoyed to the support of Thurston by the over-zealous appeals of the Omaha Republican, They want more trustworthy leader- ship than a railway lobbyist, and more honorable methods than were pursued last week in the primaries and conven- tion of this county. They will not al- low themselves to be hoodwinked by a false alarm of a terrible conspiracy on the part of the officeholders to steal Ne- braska from Blaine. It i3 not the fear that Arthur will secure a delegation from this stato that animates the Zepublican, but the desire to dictate a delegation of men who train in politics with its great patron, the Union Pacific railroad, This was shown in the Douglas county convention as well as at Nebraska OCity. The question whether a delegate was for Biaine, Logan, Edmunds or Arthur, was made secondary to the question whether he could be handled by Thurston and the Union Pacific strikers. T'he delegation secured by the Third ward fraud of Pat, O. Hawes and John Sahler was mixed on presidential prefer- ences, but it is now heralded abroad that it + 'was a Blaine delegation as against an Arthur delegation, The moment thet they landed at Nebraska City, like birds of a feather that flock together, the railroad factions fused regardless whether they were for Blaine, Logan, Arthur or Edmunds. The office-holders in Nebraska, as in New York, are divided in their presiden- tial preferences, and entirely untram- meled in their choice. For instance, Postmaster Coutant, of Omaha, who for- merly trained with the railroad faction, worked with all his might and main with Thurston and Broatch against what is now termed the Arthur faction. Coutant claims to be for Edmunds, or Arthur, and never wasa Blaine man, but is now ter- ribly sore because Broateh, who started out as an Arthur man and ended with a pledge to Blaine, was defeated at Neb- raska Oity. Bartlett, assistant United States attorney, was on Thurston's bogus Blaine delegation. Phillps, custom houss officer was elected on Thurston’s Blaine ticket, and Campbell, surveyor of the port, did his level best to assist the anti- Arthur crowd. In the face of these facts comes theabsurd charge by the Repudli- can that the office holder in the custom house and post office have massed their faces, and contributed large issues to defeat Blaine. It is true, however, that Chester A. Arthur has a very respectable following in Nebraska, and if he comes to Chicago with a majority of the New York delega- tion and has a fair show to be nominated Nebraska will cast at least two votes to make him president. His administra- tion has in the main been eminently sat- infactory. His poliny has been conciliatory and the fact that he refused to: earry out the revenges of Conkling and Platt is very creditable to him. Tux American Humane association has been trying for four years to hit upon some design for a cabtle car which would not torture the animals. which it would carry, To that it offered $6,000 for the patent of such a car.. None of the com- penies owning the patents, however, would part with them for such a price. ‘The association has-therefore given five gold medals to as many inventors who have designed cattle cars, and recom- mended the different designs to the ten- der care of the railroads. This is pleas- ant for the association and for the in- ventors, but it doesn’t help the poor cat- tle. Itis perfeatly safe to. say that as long as the mailroads can make more money by carrying cattle in the old and barbarous cars than they can by adopting new and humanely-contrived conveyances they will cling pertinaciously to the former, no matter how much the dumb brutes suffer. 'There is, in fact, no rem- edy for this matter bat law. Gold med- als, and appeals and arguments addressed to the railroads are very pretty, but nothing but law will ever induce the rail- roads to be humane, Soume of the Illinois ministers are being converted to high license as a means to temperance in a manner wonderful and encouraging to see. At a meeting of the Chicago presbytery a few days sgo, one pastor said that » $1,000 license had re- duced the number of saloons in his town from 107 to 83, Amother said that in his town the high license had reduced the saloons from 16 to 8 The goneral senti. ment was in favor of the Harper high. license law, and the opinion seemed to be that it was successful and well enforced, braska Qity? e—— 1s Tux editor of the Republican afflic- | ted with pin-worms or is e still suffering with jim.jums since his yeturn from Ne. FIRST DISTRICT CONVENIION. The Omaha Zepublican is making a desperate but vain effort to muke the people of Nebraska believe that the two delegates elected at the first congressional district convention at Nebraska City are anti-Arthur men, The Republican, however, will not succeed in its attempt to hoodwink the republicans of this state. The convention at Nebraska City sig- nified its preference in no uncertain manner. x-Senator Paddock is a warm friend of Arthur, and advocates his nom- ination. There was a contest from his county (Gage) and the del- egation in which Mr. Paddock was interested was understood to be for Arthur. The convention admitted that delegation by a majority of 10, and after being admitted there was a majority of 73 to 52, The Douglas dolegation presented Broatch as a Blaine candidate for dele- gate, and he was beaten by Postmaster Reed, of Weeping Water, Cass county. Mr. Reed is an Arthur man. Church Howe, who was elected as the other delegate, had given assurances Lo the friends of Arthur, and he does not now deny it. Only yesterday afternoon he authorized the statement that Arthur would have no firmer friend in the Chi- cago convention than Church Howe. He was elected by the vote of the delegations from Otoe and Saunders counties, both of whom are favorable to Arthur, and are known as Arthur men. It is true Mr. Reed, after ho was elect- NEBRASKA OITY. Putting on Metropolitan Airs— Big Robbery in Broad Daylight - Improvements, New Enter- prises and “Sich.” 8pocial Correspondence of The Boo.

General Swaim’s ¥roubles ‘WasamNeToN, April 17.—Judge Advo- cate General Swaim said to-day he intends to say nothing at present about the charges preferred against him by Mr. Bateman. He added that the matter was one for the civil court to deeide; that the sontractors to whom he had given the due bill had sued Bateman for the amount it calls for, and in the trial everything in connestion with the matter would become known and he was willing to stand by what came out then. As to the count-martial being ordered, he said he hardly thought that a court-martial would' try what evidently belonged to civil courts. When questioned: fuvsher, General Swaim said he wassure the wholo trouble:- would be found to have origmated from a'mistake and misunderstanding on the part of Bateman.
