CnrcaAco is agitated over the breaking out of cholera at Toulon, and there is much rejoicing oyer the prospect that the street scavenger will be ordered to make a clean sweep of Tar npu;l of the timber culture and |' pre-emption laws by the house will doubtless be concurred in by the senate and all public lands will hereafter be ro- served for homestead settlers only. This is an important'step in the rightdirection, The pre-emption laws have enabled land sharks to acquire government laws by purchase for a mere song and the timber culture laws were conceived in iniquity and born in fraud Tue discharge of two thourand labor- ers and mechanics by the Union Pacific railroad may have been a measure of eco- nomic necessity but we' doubt very much whether such economy will pay in the end, The cheese-paring process should begin at the top. If Mr. Charles Fran- cis Adams would lop off high salaried supernumeraries and abolish the political scavenger department, he would insu- guratea reform in the interestof the stock holders and insure more amicable relations with the patrons of the road. Rev, Dr. Porrer, who has been eleci- ed by the Episcopal council to the oflice ot Bishop of Nebraska, as successor to the late Bishop Clarkson, is an eminent divine and educator. He is president of the Union college at Schenectady,] Now York, e comes of quite a noted fam- 1ly, his father being the late Right Bishop Potter, bishop of Pennsylvania, and a nephew of the bishop of New York. He is also a brother Of the late Hon. Clark- son N. Potter, and of General Robort M, Potter, of the United States army. If he accepts the honor that has been so unanimously bestowed upon him, the ZEpiscopalians of Nebraska are to bo cun- gratulated. AccorinG to the Lincoln Journal the indictment and impeachment of Mayor ‘Chase has been concooted and enginecred by some of the same men who, afow years ago, assisted in the outrage of ime peaching David Butler. perfect accord with the eternal fitness of thingg for the paper founded by Ihavid Butler, with money filched from the poskets of tax-payors of Nobraska, to point back to the impeachment of its ‘pnimn saint as an outrage, notwithstand- ing the historical fact that the only aim and object of the legislature that peached Butler was to remove an officor who had appropristed to his own use $16,881.26 of public schocl munoy, and was guilty of numerous other irregu- larities that plain-spoken people in those times called larceny aud bribery. But we cannot conceive why the indictment of Mayor Chase and Marshal Guthrie should ‘e construed as an effort of conspirators who want to step into their shoes; much less do we perceive the conneotion bo- tween the impeachment of Chase by an Omaha oty council and the impeach ment of David Butler by a Nebraska leg- dslature. GeNERAL Hazey, chief of the signal service, is agaiu in trouble, this time ow- ing to his uncalled-for discrimination PRO PRESCRIPTION AND SCRIPTION. The compounders of drugs and medi- cines who have for years enjoyed & lu- orative traffic in medicated stimulants, are afflicted with much vexation of spirita in the new prescriptive code of Towa. The enforcement act adopted by the twentioth general assembly in aid of prohibitory law has brought on complications which were not thought of by the most radical temperance agitators. It begnis to appear that the law as con- strued by the law department of the state is so"severo as to interfere with some transactions with which it certainly never was intended to conflict. The druggists find themsolyes surrounded by complica- tions and restrictions, which, to some of them at least, appear so serious as to re- quire a new departure in the pharmaceu- tical department. which will appear to many people as unnecessary and unwar- ranted. It appears that the druggists of Marshalltown have recently, after due deliberation,” unanimously decided that upon and after July 4, next, they will neither keep nor scll intoxicating liquors of any kind for any purpose whatever. This includes the use of liq- udrs in filling prescriptions, The Mar- shall Times. Republican says: This action of the druggists In ta aftor mature deliberation and because of of the firm and honest conviction that no man or druggist under existing lnws, as interproted by the at torney general, mply with their require in attompting to comply innocent s and becau with them, he would become * the victim of the law's severe penaltics in an hun- Ired and one ways from which e would have no [protection—misrepresentation by pur- chaser, perjury by scamps, and on acconnt of having no means of discriminating betweon the honest and dishonest purchaser, And this.is only the beginning of vexa- tions and trouble. The Marshalltown druggists may, or may not be borrowing needless trouble. They may not be justi- fied in imposing upon the public uineces- sary inconvenienco and subjecting pat- ronsin some instances, to positive danger. Bat in the language of the Burlington Hawkeye, so long as eustom and the rec. ognized principles of the oldest and most penerally accepted echools of medicine hubitually and systematically require the presence of aloohol in many cases, judg- ment nitiest not bo too hastily or too cap- tiously passed upon the druggiste. The phraseology of tho law is very particular and its applioation as foreshadowed by the law department is very exacting. Prudent men who desira to avoid the im- putation of being law breakers, and to avoid the reputation of opposing or ovad- ing the law may well hesitate before plac- ing themselves technically in the position of violators of a law about which so much has been threaten- ed, Boyond the preservation of their reputation, which is of more consequence to the reputable druggists of the state, there romains the pecuniary penaliies of the law, which are far from trifling. The druggists, who prefer to have some one else farnish a test case, and who there- fore conclude to stand aside until the statuto is construed, may prove to be overscrupulous when the courts shall pass upou the questions involved, but they have no means of knowing until then whether they are or not. TUE TARIFR F I;:IVK'. Thero was a great deal more truth than pootry in the bold aud blunt declaration of Senator Sherman during the debate over tho Mexican pension bill—that the It is in|aational republican platforn *had been made up in o few hours time on a swel- tering hot day by forty-two men suddenly called together, most of whom never saw each other before,” The double-ender tariff plank is a fair ssmplo of such hasty and ill-digested work, As a chapter of political history - |some very iuteresting disclosures have been made concorning the position of 4} plaitotm committeo on the Prery« issuo of tariff reform. The fact is not gonerally known, says the New York Zvening Post_in sn able editorial, that there was an animated dis- cussion in the committee on reso- lutions. of the Chicago convention on tho tariff plank of tho platform. A potition trom leading ropublicaus of New York in favor of tariff reform was presented to tho committoe. It found an earnest friend and advocate in the per- sonof Mr. N, S. Harwood, the member from Nobraska, Mr. Harwood, in a very. forcible speech to the full commit- tee approved of the petition, and stated that he should insist upon having full discussion of it unless something satisfac- against & young wman of color, named Hallet Green. It appears that Green, ‘who is a recent graduate from the College of the City of New York, applied for ap- pointment to the signal corps, General Hazen refused the application, stating that in his opinion a wmixture of races would not be advantageous to the signsl corps, At the same time he recommend- ©d him to enlist in one of the four colored regiments, Green showed General Ha- en's lotter to Dr. Webb, the president of the College of the City of New York, who Fothpt) nouified Green to apply again f .‘ll{ sppointment, Upon the application thy secretary wrote as follows: ‘‘The or of war cannot concur in he views of the chief signal officer as to his policy in relation to persons of color being enlisted or otherwise employed in the public service, No distinstion should be made in admitting them to tho signal corps in any capacity they are qualified to serve. General Wobb has been advised of these views, and action should at once be taken accordivgly.” This last clause meuns that General Hazen is to admit the young colored man o the signal corps, General Hazen has ‘been properly snubbed, and hereafter he will probably be a little more careful in s vhservance of civil xighta, tory was roported by the sub-commitiee. When the sub-committee reported to the full committee its proposed pl atform, Mr. Harwood objeoted to the tariff plank and offered a substitute. He was seconded in speeches by the delegates from Min. nesota and Oregon, On the vote Mr, Harwood's amendment was supported by the members from Qolorado, 1llinois, Iowa, Michigan, Texas, and by each member from the eight territories. Al though the smendment failed, it is be- lieved that the ‘decided stand taken by the sixteen members who were in favor of tariff roform had tho effect to modify 0 tone of the resolutions considerably sudto prevent the committee from yield- ing to the demands of the wool growers, who insisted upon a specific pledge in favor cf the restoration of the dutios ws they existed prior to the year 1882. In. stead of this the #vool gatherers only se- cured # promise of ‘' readjustment of the duty on foreign wool in order that that industry shall have full and ade. quate protection’—which may mean any- thing or nothing, UNCLAIMED EXPRESS PACK. AGLES, Th reckless disregard of = obligations to the public on the part of common oar- rigrs, s stikicgly iliusbiuied by the OMAHA DAILY BEE--~FRIDAY JUNE 27, 1884, course pursued by the managers bf ex- press companies in disposing of*.nclaimed packages. Within the past fow &% two of the great expross companis who carry on an oxtensive business in this section have given notice to whom it may concern, that certain packages remaining un- claimed at various stations on the line of the trunk railroads in the state, will be sold at public auction in this city, on a given day, unless the same shall be called for and charges paid thereon. 1t would be a natural presumption that the express companies would publish these notices through the most widely circulated medium in order that the par- ties to whom they are consigned should boapprised of the proposed public sale. This is, however, not the policy. Quite the contrary, Like the divorce lawyers, who want as little publicity given to the domestic troubles of their clients, the ex- press managers have purposely selected the nowspapers that aro least read and creulated, For instance, the Pacific express com- pany published its notice of public salo in the Omaha Republican while another express company controlled by the same management is advertising through the Omaha IHerald, Now if Mr, Morsman, Mr. Huntoon or any other express officer was te looso his pocket book or if either of them wanted to dispose of a horse, a buggy, or any article of household furni- ture, or if they should want to hire a hostler or a servant girl would they advertise in the /ferald or Republican? Suppose Mr, Morsman desired to dis- pose of his household goods and furni- {ure at public auction in Omaha where would he advertise! The aggregate clrculation of the £2¢- publican in Omaha, estisiating the pop- ulation at 50,000, is one for every seventy inhabitants, while the evening edition of Tue Bree reacht™ one in every fourteen inhabitants. If the object of the sale of express packages was merely to recover back charges it would be an imposition on the express company to advertise in readerless papers; but a sense of obliga- tion to the puplic should compel express companies to give these salos the widest publicity. We say this much with no unfriendly feeling toward Manager Morsman or his local agents. We sim- ply call attention to the abuses to which the system of corporate favoritism and rookless disregard of partons’ rights have led common carriers and their managers. Tur wretched condition of Farnam stroet caused by the delay in repaving has already inflicted incaloulablo damage upon storekeepers along that thorovgh- fare, The street is impassable for vehi- cles and dangerous for pedesirians, The sidewalks are blockaded with granite blocks and even the appreaches to Far- nam street through the newly paved oross stroots are obstructed by graat pilos of broken rock. Now why should this needless obstruction on our principal thoroughfare be permitted? Why can't the board of public works compel the oontractors and stroet railway com- pany to expedite the work? The contractors claim that their pav- ing force is held back by the track layers and incomplete curbing. It strikes us that the force employed in tracklaying s ridiculously out of proportion to the work in hand., Half a dozen men can- not be expected to make much headway, but even with that force, paving could be begun if the tracklaying was finished from block to - blogk, In other cities only one block of pav- ing is done at a timo on any businas, street, and traffio in not allo~oq ¢4 bo obstructed in the reckles way in which Farnam streot by hoen blockaded. If 3 W6 8807 fo1med the paving is to begin fror, Riftoenth stroct down why did not the track laying bogin at Fifteenth streot instead of Ninth streot? Why should the whole length of Farnam street remain torn up for four montha? Tue recont decision of the Ohio su- preme court on the constitutionality of the Scott law, regulating the sale of li- quor, is a most remarkable legal produc- tion, According to the ' coustruction placed upon the law by the court no one will have to pay the tax but responsible men ingaged in the liquor trafic, Those who have property that can ko attacheld will be prosecuted, if the tax is not paid, The low dives will continue in the busi- ness and as they are usually kept by ir- criminal proceedings cannot be brought against them. As the law now stands the responsible dealers are unjustly taxed. Under this decision it now seems probable that the entire liquor traflic in Ohio will be carried on without the collection of any tax what- ever, all dealers refuslng to pay the samo, The case will undoubtedly be again brought before the court, and if the decision slready rendered foreshadows what is to follow, Ohio will again have fres whisky, and an additional §2,000,000 in taxes will have to be placed upon the tax duplicate. From a political stand. point, the recent decison will seriously oripplethe democratio party, especially in the smaller towns and villages, where the tax has during the past year more than paid the expenses for poor and police purposes. Cuunon Hows has been chosen by M, Blaine as one of the merabers of the national committed upon whom will de- volve the responsibility of managing the prosidential campaign. This flattering proof of esteem and confidence in Church Howe will doubtloss be gratifying to Governor Dawes, Congressman \Weaver, Geo. W. E, Dorsey, and other prominent and eminent Nebraskans whose names {were signed to a paper requesting the Neobraska delegation to bounce Church Howe frow the naticnal committee, responsible bummers they will escape, as | g, A FAMOUS TREE. An Historioal Old Oottonwood on the Banks of the Missonri. Kaneas City Star, About a month ago a history was pub- linhed of a huge old cottonwood tree, & landmark in Harlem, which had stood on the Clay county side of the river oppo- site the foot of Main strent since a period when the memory of that mysterious character, the oldest inhabitant, runneth not to the contrary, In those days, when the great west was an unsolved mystery, when Kansas City had never been dreamed of, the old tree was @ landmark for wandering Indian traders or adventurous Spanish explorers on the treacherous and muddy Missouri, The traditions of a century had woves themselves about the gnarled branches of the old tree, and all Harlem turned out to witness its demise. The tree was cut down May 7 by Capt. Gilkerson and a party of his men. The gradual encroachments of the river had undermined its roots, and it was decided that it was not sefe to allow it to stand longer in that situation. Among the old traditions which ling- ered about the tree was one to the effect that a large amount of treasure had been buried under the roots. In 1841, when the old Santa Fe trail was the great ar- tery of trade between the rich Mexican country and the United States, & _train commarded by Capt. Chavez, still re- membered as a trader and explorer, was attacked by robbers beyond the the pres- ent site of Westport, and over $500,000 in gold and silver builion stolen and car- ried away. This treasure, tradition says, was carried across the river and buried underneath the roots of the old cotton- wood tree. The robbers were pursued and killed, and with them died the secret of the exact location of the hidden treasuse. The qund was turned over for yards and about the roots of the tree a tew broad pieces of yellow Mexlcan old turned up in the loose earth, but El-e main body of the treasure was never found, g Yesterday, evening Capt. . Gilkerson, with « party of men, wasripping the river where the old tree stood, whon sud- denly aquantity of Mexican silver dollars rolled out of the bank and fell at their feot. The dollara are in a good state of K;enrvntion, bearing the stamp of the exican republic, dated 1841, and were avidnntl{ quite new when they were de- posited in their mysterious resting-place. The discovery caused great excitement in Harlem, and the digging was continued with great energy, but no trace of the main body of the treasure could be found. The search will be continued to-day, as it is now considered that the whole treas- ure must be buried in the immediate vicinity. The old tree was carried away, piece by piece, by relic-hunters, and no trace of it remains to mark the spot where the treasure of the Chavez train was buried. e —— - Important Session of the Lime-Kiln Club, Detroit Freo Fress. Uponthe opening of the meeting the club took up the matter of unfinished bus- iness, and Whalebone Hawker called up the case of Playfair Driggs. Brother Drigg borrowed an aggregato sum of $17 from various members and skipped for Toledo. The matter was called up in session and his name was stricken oft the rolls, The other day he made a hit at olicy, and now desired to square up and ge reinstated. Brother Howker would therefore move that Brother Driggs be permitted to pay his debts and then be welcomed in with open agms, “‘How much does he owd you?” asked the president. ¢ 'Leben dollars, sah.” I thought it was about dat way or ou wouldn't toek sich a deep interest n the case.

C. R. Jennison, the noted Kansas “jayhawker,” passed away Friday, after a lingering illness of many months. What troops of memories does the men- tion of the name bring up, says the Kan- sas City Times, name of soldier on the border is there such & romantio history Colonel Jennison came to Kansas to practice medicine, but the doctor’s bul- lets were more powerful to kill than his pills to cure. The doctor opened up on the border at Ossawatomie, in Linn ocounty, with old John Brown. He soon got into & controversy upon the political questions then agitating Kansas and the nation. The shortest and quickest way to end the controversy, he though*, was for his opponents to leave the country, and consequently he peremptorily ordered them to do so. Moreover, he notified the court, in consequence of its undue and unnecessary alacrity In enforcing bogus laws, that the people could dispense with the court. Not taking the hint, Col. Jennison rode into Fort Scott with forty men and dispersed the United States court. Judge Williams, *‘Fiddiing Willlams,” as he was reverently called, never returned, but always insisted that Jennison had 2,600 men on horseback, and therefore, instead of taking the two hours’ leave granted him to stay in town, departed in a fraction less than sixty min- utes. Gen. Harney was sent with 1,600 dragoons, and Gen, Frost with 1,500 mi- litla, to proteot Missouri and arrest Jon- nison, but he was never arrested. At another time he rode into Fort Scott on a double quick with forty-five men, captured the town, defended by two hundred troops, released a friend held in durance vile and leisurely rode out of the ‘place. His battles, always victorious, were won by his alacrity and rapidity of movement, He was recom- mended for the appointment of briga- dier general by General Hunter, by Gen- eral Charles Robinson and a host of other leaders in the military and civil service. Kxcept for his lack of confid- ence in General Denver, which induced his resignation, the mind grows dizzy at the mere conjecture of the height to which he might have risen had he re- mained ia the military service. As & politician he was a wonderful suc- cess, having served two terms in the leg- islature and once in the senate, twico mayor of the city of Leavenworth, and as a public caterer he had fow equals. Asa stockgrower he was a success. Hegave quite as much to churches as any man in the city. Ho could not be recommended, however, as strictly orthodox. He was ardent but not steady in his devotions, Still, in active business the little Jaw- hawker had grown corpulent and flabby. _ Once ~ cordially ~hated by oyery Missourlan, there is proba- bly new N0t one tnan toward whom ho cliorlahos an ill will, Born of honest Baptist parents, good, conscientious, Christian people, having a wife accom- plished and cultured, a daughter of a graduate of the Leavenworth conserva- tory of music, and now the wife of a lead- ing business man on the Pacitic slope, J.

R. Jen- nieon, the bold trooper of the border, In parts of Miesourl to this day the name of Jennigon, the jayhawker, is held in very much tho same estcem as that of the James Brothers in Kansas. But here Connected with the | COMMODORE GARRISON, The Remarkable Career of the Octo genarian Financier—How He Brought Jay Gould to Terms, New York Times, Commodore C. K. Garrison's career has been a remarkable one. From pov- erty he aroso step by step to a position of wealth and power seldom achioved even by great capitalists, Hewas born near what is now known as Garrison’s, on the Hudson river, about 1800. Some of his biographers have erroneonsly put the date of his birth at a later period. His father, Oliver Garrison, was at one time quite wealthy, but_he lost his entire for: tune when Cornelius was only a child. Young Garrisonwas an energetic lad, and went to work at odd jobs on the river boats at the age of 13 years. At the age of 16 he came to this city, at the desire of his mother, and studied architecture for three years. He then went to Canada and spent five yearsin the active business of a builder of houses and steamboats. It waa during this period that he married a lady from Buffalo. Mr. Garrison went from Canada to St. Louis, where he became largely inter- ested in matters connected with the nav- igation of the Mississippi river. Ho was captain of a steamboat on that river, and hence his title of commodore. It is said that he was for a while engaged in’ mer- cantile business in St. Louis. When gold was discovered in California Mr. Garrigon went to Panama and established a banking house which was very success- ful. Subsequently he accepted the agency of the Nicarugua Steamship line, n San Francisco. His extraordinary business achievements on the Pacific slope from 1853 to 1860 form part of the Jennison was still a prominent citizen, and_at one time his fame filled all the land, and no soldier veached a higher fame for splendid military dash and ge- nius than Col. C. R, Jennison, and none held so high a place in the popular coufi- dence and esteem, of the Lawrencc roid, all eyes turned in- stinctively to Jennison and the governor of the state. Hon, Thomas Oarney, the old war governor, issued the fullowing: LeAve TH, August 21, 1863, —Col, O. R. Jenuings—Sir: The state f Kan- s0s is invaded, To meet the invasion you are hereby authorized to raise all the effeotive men you can. I oall upon all loyal Konsans to aid you, Kansas must be protected at all hazards. The peple of Lisavenworth and of every county in the state will rally to avenge the lawless and to punish the rebel invaders of the state, Your obedient servant, Tuomas CArNEY, Governor. MIKansas City Journal, June 24th: Col. Charles R. Jennison died at Leavenworth on Saturday. Had this ovent occurred twenty years ago it would have caused » sensation throughout the Union. He had then a national reputation. He came to Kansas from Wisconsin about 1865 or 1856, and at once became promi- nent on the free state side of the strug- gle then convulsing the new territory, When the call to arms came in 1801 he was one of thefirst to respond He be- came lisutenant colonel of the Seventh cavalry, and soon made himself a terror to rebels and their abettors on the bor- ders. Missourians had raided Kansas and Jennison belioved in retalistion, He waa the chief of the Kansws Jay hawkers, and his name has caused fear and trembling in Platte, Clay and Jack- son counties of this state, He believed in the abolition of slavery and never swerved from that principle, After the war closed Col. Jeunison served two yours in the legislature. He had faults Dt hia generosity was unbounded.

As agent” of the steamship company he received a salary of about $60,000 a year, and he got about §20,000 additional as the representative of various insurance companies, Ho put a great amount of energy and _executive ability into his work and effected & complete reorganiza- tion of the steamship company. He ac- quired public nopularity, and was elected mayor of San Francisco within six months aftor his arrival there, His administra- tion’was one of vigorous and effective re- form. Moeanwhile he started the move. mentthat led to the organization of the Pecific Mail Stnmuhip company, and urged the exploration of a route for the| Pacific railroad. His benevolence and public spirit at that time are sald to have been great. To his encouragement and aid such men as Ralston, D, O. Mills, and other capitalists owe much of their success, Upon his return to New York in 1860, Commodore Garrison embarked in a num- ber of extensive enterprises, all of which were financially successful. His fortune was then reputed to be several millioas of dollars. During the war of the rebellion Mr. Garrison fitted out, principally by his own exertions, what was known as “Butler's Ship island expedition.” Among the great enterprises with which Mr. Garrison has bsen promi- nently identitied is the one now known ag the Missouri Pacific railway. He had invested quite largely in the securities of the road, which was originally known as the Pacific Railroad of Missouri, and was the principal owner of the third mortgage bonds, After the panle of 1873 the company became embarrassed, and in 1876 was sold under foreclosure of mortgage secured by the bonds held by the commodore. The road was reorganized, with the commodore as president, and out of this reorganization has grown the Marie-Gar- rison suit.
