Ort and water will not mix, Just as soon as tho homeopaths put in an ap- poarance the allopaths marched out of town. Tar Cincinnati grand jury has made au oxcellent beginning in tho way of re- form by indicting the most notorious jury-fixer in the city. Mon of his class have been more responsible for the fail- ures of justice than any othor. They ought to be rlgorously punished every- where, Tue trade-dollar is being utilized by swindlers to defraud immigrants land- ing at Castle Garden. The immigrants are induced by the sharpers to oxchango their coin for trade-dollars, which are worth only ninety cents. The govern- ment should take immediate steps to put a stop to this swindle, iy Now that the B. & M. has been grant ed the desired right of way, wo hope that Managor Holdredge {will build that short line to Lincoln, by way of Ashland, atan early day. Tho lino to the Union stockyards, according to the statoments of manoger Holdredge, will ba built this summeor. Itis estimated that $500,000 will bospent on this entorprise Justics is admuistered in n vory pecu- liar manner in Omsha, A poor erange peddlor, who has a liconce and is trying to make an honest living, is per- nocuted by the authorities from day to day, while two convicted confidence sharps are released from jail, before their sontonce expires, so that they can attend a prizo fight. Can the ohiof of police explain such outrages? Tue shooting wmatch on that Union Pasific special prize-fighting train occur- red in Douglas county and therefore it is within the jurisdiction of the grand ju- ry. Itis hoped that the grand jury will thoroughly investigate tho matter, and at the same time they ought to investigate the case of Marks and Schonbergr, the convicted confidence sharks, who were released from jail before the expiration of their sentence, so that they could attend the prize fight. These two men were among the principals at the shooting match Tur Missouri state board of equaliza- tion has just completed its assessment for the year 1884, The railroad valuations include some figures of interest, The St. Louis bridge is assessed at $1,200,000, the Leavenworth bridge $750,000, and the Kansus Oity bridge $700,000. Thoso bridges ocated one-half in Missouri, The railroads proper are assessed at rates varying from 87,260 to $14,600 per mile, Tho Wabash is assessed at $10,000, and the Missouri Pacific $14,600, The last assessment of the Missouri Pacific in Neobraska was lesa than §5,000. Ir the Towa legislature had boen wiso enough to keep out of tho crazy practice of @; pointing commiasions or boards to do its work, the stato would have been spared the disgraceful quarrels which Dr. Kulp's removal from the asylum board has caused, It was clearly the business of the legislature to locate the insane asylum itself. It was clearly not its business to shift that work on to the shoulders of others. The members, who were too timid or too lazy to perform the duty, have themselves to thank that others have not done that duty well, e—— Pavres immigration is_again attract- ing much attention, The steamer City of Rome arrived in New York last Mon- day with more than forty former in. mates of Irish workhouses, who had been shipped here by the British - au- thorities. By an uncalled-for stretching of the law those who had relatives here THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. The disturbance in commercial and financial circles, which at this distance seems to be vory threatening, is really confined to the speculative class of bus- iness that makes its headquarters in Wall street. Tho crisis was caused by a reck- less spirit of stock gambling and the inflation of corporate property repre- sented by fictitious etocks, The most careful inquiry shows that the depression is confined to the Atlantic seaboard al- most entirely. While there have been business failures here and there in the middlo and western states, they have been purely looal in their character. They have been in no way connected with the Wall streot crash, nor are they to be compared in magnitude with the eastern failures. Among the failures in in the west, the most important one is that of Sabin & Co., of Stillwater, Min- nemota, who were recently crippled by a serious fire, Besidos, they were working largely on borrowed capital. Other fail- ures of less noto in tho west have been due strictly to local causes, In New York the recont failures are at- tributable to rockless stock jobbing. The shrinkage in stocks has been unpre- cedented, and speculators who have been unable to unload have been créwded to the wall, There is no denying the fact however, that these failures in the finan- cial center will affect the whole country more or less, First camo the collapse of the banking house of Grant & Ward, whosoe liabilities amount to between $8,- 000,000 and $10,000,000. Developments winco the failure are of the most startling character, and show that they either know nothing about business or wero car- rying ona bold confidence game. The four partners put in $100,000 cach, and drew out s salary of §36,000 each, or a total of $144,000 a year, without regard to the profits of the business. This rob- bery in itself would soon have exhausted the resources of the bank. It ought not to surprise anybody that they borrowed money here and there in large sums or that they should engage in stock specula- tions of the most reckless character and in crooked transactions of every sort. Thetr whole concern was nothing but a balloon, and what surprises us is that it floated as long as it did. Had the col- lapse only affected the members of the firm no ono would have cared, but they robbed not only a large number of dupes but dragged down with them the Marine bank, whoso president, it is now shown, was also engagod extensively in spoculat- ing in railroad and otber stocks. The Marine bank failure was mostly local in effect, No other banks or business firms were heaily involved, and the only rail- road that was directly affected was the one which received a severe blow. The heaviest account in the bank was that of New York city ; and all who were ruined by the collapse of Grant and Ward were residents of the city. But the immediate result of these two failures was a further marked decline in stocks, Next came the failure of the Metropolitan bank, whose president has also been speculating in railway securities, and endeavoring to bolstor up tho stock of a railrond in which he was heavily interested. Naturally enough other banks and brok- ers carrying on a speoulative business re- coived blows they were unable to with- stand. Now comes the report that the prominent bankers and brokers, Fisk & Hatch, dealers in goneral securities, have gono down in the crash, As each house of this kind suspends it of conrse in- volves a large number of persons, but as yet the indications are that banks that have been doing a sufe, conservative and strictly logitimate banking business, while more or less affected by the various suspensions of the “spcculation houses.” will weather the storm. The financial com- ‘motion will not extend to any great degree outside the limits of New York, Isolat- od suspensions in the principal citics how- ever, may naturally be looked for, but composed wholly and the republican national committee partly of members of congreas in both houses, The discovery that all theso have laid themselves open to severe punishment is not comforting. There will have to be a reorganization of both committees. It would beimpossible to evade the law in any way even if any one wanted to do so. Thesections of the law which have caused this trouble are a fair sample of the thoughtless manner in which some attempted reforms are car- ried out. It is evidently no worse for congressmen to belong to organizations which receive political assessments than it i for anyother c'assof men whatsoever. Why they should have been specially picked out is one of the things that no no one can explain, LHE NEW ARMY BILL, The army appropriation bill, which is now awaiting the action of the house, contains some important provisions, It is chiefly marked by increased liberality of treatment to officers and men. It sots aside §260,000 to provide for extra payment to all enlisted men put on duty for more than ten days as mechanics, ar- tisans, school teachers, clerks, teamstera, and laborers. Hitherto the first three classen named have been paid thirty-five cents a day. IHereafter they will receive fifty, Clerks, teamsters and laborers have heretofore been paid twenty-five cents a day. The bill increases their compensation ten conts, This feature is looked upon with great satisfaction by army men, as an act of justice. Another clause permits fuel to be is- sued to all officers on dutyat any post west of the Missiasippi river. Officrs and enlisted men are hereafter to be al- lowod to purchase subsistence supplies at cost price, At present thoy aro charged 10 per cent. above cost. Previous at- tempts have been mado to sccure this re- duction, but have boen defeated. It is wiso and just. Besides this, one hundred post quarter- master sergeants are to be added to the force. They are to be chosen by exam. ination from the most suitable cnlisted men of at least four years' mervice. These sergeants are designed to relieve civilain employes as clerks and store- keepers, to take care of public property, or to be assisiants to quartermasters. They are to be paid $40 a month with an ordnance sergeant’s allowance. Reductions of expenses are also made. Tho total number of civilian employes is not to be over one thousand. The compensation for freight and carriage paid by the government to railroads that have received national aid is not to be more than one-halt of the rates which private persons pay. The office of forage-master is abolished., 'The total ex- penditure on civilian labor is not to ke mcre than§1,500,000, and no one civilian employe is to receive more than $160 a month, The price of food is considered a8 warranting & reduotion of the ration from 22 to 20 cents. 'The pay corps is to be diminished from 40 to 28, And the number of horses and mules which may be bought is reduced and rigorously limited. By theso means & reduction of $420,000 in the amount of appropriation is made. This is shaving the service pretty close. The senate will have objections to make to some of the items of the bill, and may insist on an increased appropristion. The bill has been delayed beyond all precedent by the dissensions of the democrats, It should be hastened and passed. Two confldence sharks, Marks and Schonberg, who have been operating in the vicinity of the Union Pacific depot, were arrested last woek by the depot po- lico,and were tried and convioted in police court. They wore sentenced to thirty days imprisonment and to pay & fine of §20. Novertholess, these men attonded the prize-fight, and aro said to have been the cause of tho free fight and shooting they will be failures of houses similiar in character to those that have gone to the wall in New York, ‘While the panic in Wall stroot may orento a stringency in money and in bus- iness throughout the east, we do not be- lieve that it will extend to the west in any noticeable degree. The crops throughout the west are reported in fa- vorablo condition, The last roport of the department of agriculture indicates ono of the largest crops on record, and the cotton crop of the south, according to Bradstreot, promises well. In many of tho principal cities of the west, notably in St Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha and Kansas OCity, there is a great deal of building in progress, and real estate con- tinues in demand at good prices. In Omaha there is not only a healthy build- ing boom, but there is o great deal of public work going on, Laborers and me- chanics are nearly all employed at tair wages, and money seems to be abundant, Our banks are ranked among the most selid inatitutions in the country, and a wero allowed to remain, The rest were|goneral confidence prevails that nothing ipped back.

But how did they get out of jail so that they could attend the prize-fight! This is & question that will have to be answer- od by some one, The police judgoe says that he did not let them out, Who did? One of the prisoners claimed to have hoart disease, and that it was not healthy for him to be in jail, is is & great mis- take, for the healthiest place for such scoundrels is in jail, Nevertheless, he was permitted to go to the prize-fight, which was just the place for & man afflict- ed with heart disease. Instead of send- ing for the city physician, Dr. Leisenring, to examine the fellow’s case of heart dis- ease, Dr, Hoffman was called, and that gentleman certified to his condition, The people would now like to kuow who re- leased Marks and Schonberg from jail If the police judge did not do it, did the city marshal or the jailor! This is a case that should be investigated by the city council, as well as by the grand jury, This case is another evidence that the crooks of this city are being *‘protected” by certain city officials, Ir Ohisf Engineer Butler, of the fire department, proposes to enforcs the fire limit ordinance let him do it in a busi- ness like way. There are several framo buildings being put up inside the fire limits, and in order to evade the ordinance it is proposed to veneer the frame with a brick wall of one brick thickness.

Erasrus Youno, auditor of the Union Pacific, has been generally credi ted with haviug been largely instrumen. tal in causing the recent reduction of wagee, Mr. Young ewphatically denies He know nothing of the in- tho Boston directory, ard ention of waa not aware of the order being issued until after its receipt in Omaha. Tt is al- 80 claimed in his behalf that he made no recommendations looking towards a gen- eral reduction. Tur city council has done a very wise thing in passing the ordinance giving the B. & M. the right of way to the Union stock yards. While there was no partic- ular hurry necessary in this matter, thero was danger that the whole scheme would be defeated by Union Pacific influences The voto upon this ordinance has again demonstrated that an employe of the Union Pacific will always prefer to serve the interost of that corporation, even when he knows it to be contrary to pub- lic policy and the interests of his conatit- uvents, It is manifestly t the interests of Omaha that all railronds shall have ac- cess to our stock yards, packing houses, warchouses and factories. To give any one road the monopoly of public road- ways would impede the growth of the city and prevent it from ever becoming a great manufacturing conter. Corpora- tions, like men, are more or less selfish, It is not at all unlikely if the B. & M. railroad were in the position of the Union Pacific, that it would pursue the same selfish policy. But the public have rights which these corporations should not at- tempt to ignore. In this instance, as in thecontest of the Jacksonstreet occupancy and the river front crossing, the public interost is jeopardized by the selfiish opposition of the Union Pacific, and this paper took decided ground in favor of granting the B. & M. the same rights which had been given to the Union Pa- cific. In that fight the court sustained the position taken by The Brr that the monopoly of any thoroughfare cannot be granted to any railroad. This is not only a good law, but ‘justice, and it will prevail whenever an honest deci- sion is rendered by the courts. THE END OF A NOBLE LIFE. Death of Oyrus H, McCormlck—Brief Sketch of the Career of One of the World's Benefactors, Chicago Merald, A good man and truo was at rest yes- terday when Cyrus H. McCormick closed his eyes in the sleep of death. It was the end of a life of the highest order of acrown, Inthe death of the man Amer- icaloses a grandly ropresentative citizen. Plain, unpretending man as he was, he had been the guest of emperors and kings and had been named chevalier of the imperial order of the Legion of Honor. His were the victories o1 peace, To his fertile brain the world is indebted for one of the most valuable of labor-saving inventions. osty and _enterprise, Chicago owes a debt which money is powerless to liquidate. To his ernest adherence to his conyictions, grounded in the relig- ious taith of his forefathers, a great de- nomination is indebted for timely and constant practical assistance. In his ex- ample and teachings the members of the political party t§ which ho gave his ad- herence may find help and_ inspiration. Mr, McCormick had been an invalid for some timo. During the past year he had not been able to leave his room, but though physically powerless to meet the demands of active business conneciions he had full posession of his mental pow- ers until a short time before his decease, which occurred at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Ho died in the seventy-fifth year of his age. Cyrus Hall McCormick was born Feb, 15, 1809, in Rockbridg County, Vir- gil His father, Robert McCormick, was born in Rockbridge County, His wother, Mory Ann Hall, wos a native of Augusta County, in the same state. The parents were both from Scotch-Irish de- scent, and rank among the most reput- able residents of Virginia. The elder McCormick was a farmer of more than ordinary mental and financial resources, He owned valuable tracts of land, which woro carefully, intelligently and profita- bly caltivated. He owned saw and grist wills, blackemith shops, carpenter and machine shops, and gave toall his por- sonal supervision, Wath such surround- ings it is no matter of surprise that the subject of this notico should have early lnid the foundation for that eminently practical and useful career upon which it was decreed hs should enter, Deprived of the advantages of a professional train- ing, Lis mind expanded in an inventive diroction. | His father was an inventor and a succesful ono, and the letters patent which he held represented only labor-saving devices. When still in his teons Cyrus saw that his father had been foiled in his attempts to invent a reaping machine, Both realized that a renper would not only be a benefaction to humanity of surpassing utility, but would also bring to the inventor wealth and world-wide fame, While the father built models only to 3ast them aside as worthless, the son devoted days and nights to study. He felt certain that the great problem before them must be first worked out mentally. As he once ex- pressed it whon talking to an assemblage of agricultural men inthe Fast: “I built the first reaper in my imagination, I destroyed it and constructed another human nobility—a king who never wore To his industry, gener- | he settlod in Cincinnati, Two years later he removed to Chicago, being “con- viaced that this was destined to be the metropolis of the west and the grain market of the world. Soon after coming here he introduced his brothers, Leander J. and William S., into the business, which was rapidly attaining marvelous proportions. The McCormick reaper won the prize medal in 1862 at the Lon- don National exhibition. T'ho next year it was awarded the highest honor at the International exhi- bition in France. After another great triumph at the exposition of all Nations in Paris, in 1867, McCormick was invited by the Emperor Napoleon to to visit the !atter's farm at Chalons and exhibit hia wonderful invention. His Majesty was delighted with the work of the reaper, and was profuse in his com- pliments, The fiest year that Mr, Me- Cormick came to Chicago, he manuiac- tured 708 machines. In 1857 he sold over 4,000 reapers, and the demand in- creased rapidly. In 1859 Reverdy Johnson in an argument before the commissioner of patents, said: “The McCormick reaper has already contributed an annual income to the whole country of fortyfive millions of dollars at least, which must increase through all time.” Mr. McCormick wae never an_ office- seeker, but he stood deservedly high in the councils of the democratic party. Into politics he carried lofty motives, and his influence was great, for his character was a spotless one. He entertained clear and well-defined viows on religion, being an ardent Presbyterian, He was most prom- inent in the organization ; of the South Presbyterian church, giving the larger part of the amount required to purchase a sito for the edifice. Up to the year 1857 he gave, each year, $3,000 to the support of this church. In 185) ke founded and endowed the Presbyterian theological seminary of the Northwest. He endowed a professorship in Washing- ton college, Virginia, and contributed liberally to the support of the Union Theological Seminary of Virginia, In 1872 he purchased the Interior, the or- gon of the Presbyterian” Church in the Northwest, retaining the proprietorship up to the day of his death, It is only a few wecks ago that he gave $100,600 which will be devoted to the better equipment of the Theol-gical Seminary of the Northwest, Mr. McCormick re- mained single until the year 1858, when he married Mies Nettio Fowler, of Clay- ton, Jelferson County New York. They have had seven children, The mother and five of the children survive the hon- ored head of their sadly stricken house- hold. Deceased was one of the wealthi- est men in Chicago. His fortune is esti- mated at §20,000,000. S L STATE JOTTINGS, The bridge across the Elkhorn at Scribner has been completed.

Satisfying himself as to the pract cal utility of this invention young McCor- mick devised apparatus for collecting and handling the grain, holding it until taken by the rake and deposited into sheaves. In 1831, when Cyrus was about twen- ty-two years of age, the reaper to which lio hac given yeara of thought became an accomplished Tact. It stood every practical test and in the section where he resided the young inventor was regarded with wonder and admiration. A fow years later he became interested in iron-smelt- ing.
