He will receive in addition to his pay as councilman the salary of the mayor. Tae demand for fireworks in the Omaha wholesale houses has b#en very oxtensive this year, which shows that the country propose to celebrate, not- withstanding the financial collapse in Wall street. STRANGE a8 it may seem, it is becom- ing quite fashionable to indict defaulting bank presidents for obtaining money under false ‘pretenses.

Our special dispatches from Chicago ‘bring the news that ‘‘a slim young man, beardless and wearing well-fitting clothes and eye-glisses, opened Mr. Roswell P.

Objection was made by Rev, Dr. Howard Crosby on the ground that Hill kept a disorderly honse, Hill and soveral of his friends testified that his place was orderly. The commissioners reserved their decision. When did an Omaha minister ever appear before the license ‘board to put in an objection to license being granted to the keepers of low dives in this city 1 Mavor Murraey's first appointment will be a successor to Mr, Joseph Barker on the board of public works. Our new mayor, we learn, is to appoint Mr, Clark ‘Woodman to this important position, He could scarcely make a better choice. Mr. Woodman ranks among our most enterprising and successful business men, Ho is active, level headed and indepen- dent. He is eminently qualified for the place. If Mayor Murphey's appoint. ments will all be of such a high character bis administration will be heartily sus- ained by the community, There is something unutterably path- etic in the fate of Two Standing, a noted brave of the Omaha tribe, who in one of our city hospitals last week and was buried in Potter's Field, His mame was a decoration won by personal walor, he and another warrior being the only two hl:::l lh ltp:h; d.l's‘“. m le wi L) of Bioux ‘were defeated. He came to New York with a show troupe, aud being taken : was abandoned hllul(- fate, Alwn'; among strangers ruud away 4he happy hunting grounds of his fathers, and the red wi found no white man to give him a burial worthy of his deeds name, He was only an Indian—a in the land where his fathers been kings.—New York Mercury. In the days of Fennimore Cooper this “incident would have futnished the found- ation for s novel. But the cruel fate and untimely taking-off of one of Buffalo Bill's Indisns does not even draw & tear inthis matter-of-fact age, and even out west, where the Indian is known the an prevails that the braves of Bufalo Bill's tribe fare | £ i o - comfortable lying in the Potter's Field ~ than hanging in the top of a tree or .|oné side of t oon of clerks of courts, were always oper, to public inspection, and that the of.a. tents of papers #o filed were the *,rop- erty of the public so far as the ma‘.ter of news is concerned. But the wupreme ocourt of Massachusetta takes a different view, and one which will b, received with sonsiderable surprise by the press of the country. A pelition was filed in the county clerk’s office at Lowell for the re- moval of one Cowley from the bar, and the Boston Herald published this peti- tion, or tho substance of it, as =& matter of news. In doing this it simply followed the usual custom of newspapers, Cowley sued the Herald for libel, but th§hiZerald pleaded privil- ege and the superior court sustained the defenso and threw the case out of court, Cowley carried the case to the supreme court on exceptions and the supreme court has just ruled that papers on file in the offices of the clerks of courts are not open to public inspection and that newspapers ‘‘cannot set;up privilege as a defonse in alibel suit after publlshing an ex-parte statement of a case taken from file in the office of the -clerk,” although *‘they are protected from libel in reporting cases actually on trial” The opinion of the court was unanimous. The Bpringfield Republioan calls this a new and ingenious way of muzzling the press in Massachus- etts. In commenting on the remarkable decision the Republican says: If the supreme court refuses to sustain the privilege of & journal to print an ex- parte statement from the clerk’s record, suppose a nowngnpcr chose to print only o case, when actually brought to trial? This doctrine clearly renders every newspaper liable for print- ing a list of the grand jury’s indictments, charging citizens with all sorts of heinous crimes on ‘‘ex-parte statements taken from papers on file in the office of the clerk.” DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. ‘When the national republican con- vention had concluded its work, every leading democratic paper and poli- tician in the United States expressed the utmost confidence in the triumphant elec- tion of a democratas thesuccessor of Presi- dent Arthur, Thenominationof Tildenand Hendricks by acclamation was regardsd as a foregone conclusion, and it was gen- erally conceded that the only work left for the national convention was simply to ratify on July 8 what the democracy had resolved upon before hand, in every state and territory in the union, regard- loss of faction, Tilden's lotter of declination fell upon tho party like a thunder clap from a clear sky. While it was generally known that the oracle of Grammercy was g physical wreck fow were prepared for the absolute refusal to accept the nomination under any circumstances. Upon recovering from the fearful shock every democratic neck was craned to get a glimpse of the man that New York would put forward as a candidate, the generals upposition being that the man named by the Empire State would be accepted as the inevitable choice of the party. The Baratoga convention assembled and was heralded abroad as a harmonious gathering. Grover Oleveland was recog- nized as the political legatee of the OCi- pher Alloy Mummy. It was given out that Oleveland had secured more than two-thirds of the entire delegation, and under the unit rule the vote of New York was sure to be csst for him. Whether or not this will prove correct, it is certain that a storm has been gathering in New York, which must render Clove- Iand’s nomination decidedly hazardous. John Kelly, and his Tammany, braves have dug up the tomahawk and are flourishing it in & fierce and warlike manner, while the anti-monopolists are waging a fierco war upon the aristocratic executive of the Empire State, On the other hand, the independents and republican bolters have espoused the cause of Cleveland, apd point to him as the only democrat who can get their active and undivided support. While this promised re-inforce- ment from the disgruntled republicans would be vorg welcome immedi- ately after the Chicago conven} tion, it is - very embarrass- ing to Cleveland just now. The friends of other candidates point, with a great deal of force, to the fact that Cleveland seems to be more popular with the inde- pendents and republicans in his own state than with the democrats, The democratic dissensionsin New York have given an impetus to the boomers of rival candidates in every sec- tion of the country. That democratic Falstaff, Ben Butler, is marshalling his million of ragamuffins fof the fray, and his lioutenants swear that he is the only ® woek before the national convention would soem to hardly justify the predic- tions made immediately after the nomi- nation of Blaine and Logan that the dem- ocratic party had a walk away. On the contrary, the bitter and factional contest that is sure to be precipitated at Chicago next week is liable to culminate in one of those magnificent blunders for which the democratic party is noted. All eyes are now turned to Chicago, The tally sheets must remain blank, and we shall not be surprised if the mountain, after an immense amount of painful labos, brings fortha mouse. 110r TREATMENT OF WIT- NESSES. Persons who have attended the Guth. rie trial in the district court, must have roceived the impression that witnesses are treated by the lawyers in a manner that is anything but courteous, They worry & witness in every conceivable way and instead of assisting him to tell a plain straight forward story, as he really desires to do, they persist in their ef- forts to entangle him in his statements, and make him contradict himself. It would seem that the attorneys take it for granted that the witness goes on the stand determined to give false testimony, and they at once begin subjecting him to all storts of vexatious and irritating ques- tions, many of which are otten insulting and would not be tolerated by the victim for a moment outside of the court room., The vexing and bulldozing of witnesses are practices that are often carried to extremes. Some lawyers seem to think that a witness has no rights which he is bound to respect. They are altogether too presumptuous, andjthe sooner such attorneys learn to be polite and gentle- manly to a witness, and take it for granted he is telling the truth, until he is proven to be swearing falsely, the bet- ter it will be for them, and the higher they will be esteemed by the public. An eminent French writer ina work entitled “Public Life in England," commented upon the English methods of examining witnesses, and the remarks apply equally as well to the American method. The writer saya: “‘These witnesses are not requested, as before our tribunals, to stats spontane- ously all they know of the circumstances of the case. i x * They only reply to specific questions which are put to them in turn by the counsel. This is called examination and cross-examination. There are few cus- toms so scandalous in the judicial e toms of clvilized people. The interest and aim of each advocate being to ex: ftract from the witness statements as fa- vorable as possible to his own theorysany means seem good to him in order to ar- rive at his object, Questions the most insidious, the most indiscreet,? the most annoying, are authorized by custom. It follows as a matter of course that the most cutting manner, the least migivings aro maliciously accentuated. While the French law takes it for granted that every man ought to be believed on his word of honor, the English law, on the con. trary, seems to assume that every affirm- ation made in court may be a priori sup- vosed to be untrue, - A deplorable legacy of the times, not so lung ago, when pro- fensional false witnesses made themselves known to pleaders in Westminister Hall by fixing & straw in their shoe. How- over that may be, the part played by the unfortunate victim implicated, in no matter how smalla degree, in the case is almost intolerable. Should his g?.yfiag nomy, his private life, his name, pro- fession, his dwelling place lend them- selves in the loast degree to ridicule for equivocue, the enemy attacks him in the weak point with cruel joy. The public hufih. the witness gets red and pale, and finally loses his countenance. Happy still, is he, if the judge does not add to his torture by emitting some safe and pro- fessional joke at his expense. Noeither the search for truth nor the majesty of justice has anything to gain by such ex- hibitions,” THE MAYORAL1Y Tue question naturally arises who is to be mayor of Omaha from now until the end of the unexpired term of Champi- on 8, Chaso, The successlon is definite- ly fixed by the charter, Sootion 11 of the charter provides that the election of ofticers shall hold for two years, com- mencing on the firat Tuesday succeeding their election,and they shall hold theiroffi- ces until their successors are elected and qualified. Section 16 provides that the city council shall have power to elect one of their own body president of the coun- cil, who shall preside at all meetings of the council, and in his absence to elect one of their own body to occupy his place temporarily, who shall be styled acting president of the council, and tho presi- dent or acting president, when occupying the place of mayor, shall have the same powers as the mayor, and shall have the same rights and privileges as other mem- bers of the council, democrat who is sure to beat Blaine in not only the doubtful states of the east, but on the Pacific coast, Hoadley is be- ing nursed with a great deal of tender carein Ohio by Johnny McLean, while Thurman, who heads the Ohio delegation, proposes to play the role of Garfield, Joe McDonald comes to the front with the solid vote of Indiana, but the fact that Hendricks heads the delegation does not augur well for Joseph. The tail of the old ticket will have his own lighi. ning rod hoisted in the convention. The mighty state of Delaware is a unit for the Chevalier Bayard, who is liable to divide the vote of New York with Oleve- land, Pennsylvania will present Mr, Randall upon a pig-iron high protection platform, Flower will be on hand with his “‘bar’l# Then there are the usual number of dark horses in the back- ground, each hoping to loom up at the proper moment as the only Monses that can save the party. At the eleventh hour a number of res- urrectionists are at work endeavoring to revive the Grammercy paralytic, and force him upon the convention even if he has to be carried through the campaign u & coffin, Sush s s:ate of unrest and unocertalnty Saction 71 says that when any vacancy shall happen in the office of mayor by death, resignation, absence from the city, removal from office, refusal to qualify or otherwise, the president of the council for the time being shall exercise the of- fice of mayor, with all the rights, privil- eges, and jurisdiction of the regular mayor until such vacanoy be filled, or such disability removed; or in case of temporary absence, until the mayor shall return; and during that time he shall re- ceive the same compensation thgt the mayor would be entitled to, the same to be deducted from the salary of the mayor. The existing vacancy inthe office of mayor caused by the removal of Cham- pion 8, Chase, will, therefore, be filled by the president of the council, Mr, Murphy, until it is filled by election, Now, the only way to fill the office by oloction, prior to the regular city eloc tion to be held in April, 1885, would be through a special election ordered by the acting mayor and couneil, Section 156 of the charter provides that the mayor and council shall have authority to pro- OMAMA DAILY BRE--WEDNESDAY, JULY 2. 1884 city by calling & special elestion for that purpose. The council having so far failed to pro- vide for filling such vacancies by ordl- nance it remains entirely optional with that body to do s0 mow or to allow the office of mayor to remain vacant until the regular election in April next. One thing the couneil should do without de- Iay. The charter requires the election of an acting president of the council who is to take tha place of the president of the council in case of a temporary vacancy caused by his absence or any disability. It is obvious: that provision should be made for any poseible contingency. Blaine's First Oampaign, Washington Letter in San Francisco Bulletin, Now that Blaine is the nominee there 18 no end to the good stories that are be- ing related of his boyhood, Congress- man Pusey, of Towa, who went to school with him in Washington ocounty, Pa., tells an ancedote illusteating the spirit which has not only made him the great- ost man in America but at last brought him within a step of the white house. At school the Plumed Knight was called ‘‘Nosey Blaine,,’ in consequence of his prominent proboscis which is still his only homely feature, and the boys, among whom he was always a leader, physically and intellectually, were very fond of making fun of him. Blaine, however, never lost his temper. One day *‘Nosey” conceived the 1dea of being president of the litdrary society to which many of his sghoolmates belonged, and he made a rapid canvass of the field There wasibut one candidate against him. who withdrew at once when he heard Blaine was in tho contest. Only one ob- jection could be wuiged against young | h Blaine, he was the best debater in the society, the biggest boy and the brightest scholar. Coming to Pusey he disclosed his ambition, ““Why, Nosey,” said Pusey, ‘‘of course 1'll help you ; but you can't fill the place.” “‘Can’t fill the place?’ exclaimed Blalne, astonished at Pusey's lack of confidence, ‘* why not " ‘‘Becauss you don't know anything about plrlilmenhry law. You can’t pre- side without a good knowledge of points of order and things.” The young candidate, sure enough had overlooked this qualification, and was somewhat abashed to reflect that what Pusey said was probably true. But sud- denly brightening up he said: “I'll fix that mighty quick. “The election is to- morrow. - I'll commit Cushing's Manual to memory to-night.” And Pusey says he did it. Before day- light next morning, he knew every im- portant part of Cushing by heart, and within a week was an authority on parliamenta law. Those who remember Blaine's « remarkable mas- tery of parliamentasy law while speaker of the house, and the won- derful facility with which he unraveled the most intricate questions of order, will erslly credit Pusey's story. His memory of principles, dates, names and facts, naturally strong, has been culti- vated until it is more remarkable than his genuis for leadership and command. e ——— Corn in Dakota, The Rural New Yorker, ‘Wi 1 corn ripen in southeastern Dako- ta, is & question often asked, but not very satisfactorily answered, The truth must be told the crop has heretofore had but indifferent success. There are, however, reasons why it has been so. The rnletnumbeg,%wh ) @ sod, imme- tried it have done so diately aftor breaking.t -Now thatis not giving it a fair chanoe, thesod is at the and I question .ve: would not compare favorably with any growth in Minnesota, Michigan or Wis- consin. Another reason wh{ it has been unsuccessful is the fact that the right kind of seed has not been used, Nearly every one who has come here brings with him some seed which he is sure will ripen in Dakota. All imagine they have got a good thing, and keep the name a ‘‘deep mystery” till well on in the season it turns out an ignominous failure, and then they exclaim: “Why, I was sure thal would ripen— that was Canada Smut,” or some other sort, If people would give up their own pet corn, and procure seed grown in the state, plant it on old ground and culti- vate it, I would have no fear of the re- sult. This was my first season here, so my personal experience is rather lim- | ited, 1 did try some half dozen different kinds of corn on the sod, What did besf with me was a white dent, the seed os which I brought from Wisconsin. I wat told here it was not worth planting, as it would bo too latein ripening; but I deter- mined to plant 1t, and it turned out just the reverse of what they predicted. I also had Sibley’s Pride of the North, which was much puffed all over the northwest, With me it was a failure, as was alsoa yellow dent from Nebraska and a white dent from northprn Iowa, Two varietios of flint, the seed of which was raised hero, did well, but the prairie squirrels were very severe on them. As the result of my experiments, and from the experi- once of older settlers, I have no doubt an early eight-rowed yellow corn is the proper kind for this section, next to WESTERN NEWS, DAKOTA.

Blaine as a Hand-Shaker, Blaine, says a Washington correspond- ent of the Cleveland or, s one of the best hand-shakers in public life. He seizes your hand, gives it a hearty shake, and holds it firmly and rether confiden- tially while he is talkiag, Here at Bel. laire he was shaking hands from the be- ginniug to the end of his visit, and crowds gathered around the depot anx- ious to give him a parting look or shake before the train left. He was sitting in the car by the window and shaking the hands of those on the platform outside, when among others, a very pretty Vir- inia girl came up. Blaine selzed her gnud with his hearty grip. Almost in- stinctively and at almost the same mo- ment, an old friend of his engaged him in conversation, He began to talk hold- iug to the girl’s hand, and not noticing, 1 suppose, that it was not the hand of the man to whom he was ing. After about a minute the affair began to attract attention, The girl attempted to pull her nand away gently, but Blaine, who was engaged in an ted conversation only tightened his grip and talked faster. At this the young girl’s loyer, who, with hot face, had been standing back in the crowd, came up and twitching Blaine's sloeve, pointed out to him what he was doing, He let go the girl's hand at once with & word of apology and the blushif i ‘ wnaiden was led away into the crowd, MONTANA.
