With honest juries his ocou- pation is gone. e Cnicaco is having three great race meeliogs, one for running horses, ono for trotting horses, and ome for democratic prosidential dark horses. SLueer LuIvAN says he will make no more matches until his constitution is repaired. He ought to amend his constitu- tion by residing in prohibitory Towa for a fow months. ToroNTO nowspaper proprietors pro- poss to reduce the wages of printers 10 per cont. next Monday. They say that hard times and small business render such a step necessary. P Disrricr Arrorsey Gonwiy killed two birds with one stone. While he convicted Guthrie of bribery he at tho sameo time convicted Mr. Smythe of murder—of the English Janguage. nERAL Boorw, the founder of the tion Army, has evidently made a good thing out of it. He is now negoti- ating to purchase Adelina Patti's country residence in Wales, There is nothing like laying up something for a rainy day. Jouy Janrerr, of Pennsylvania, has ‘been appointed by the president as com- missioner of the newly manufactured la- bor bureau. He was formerly the presi- dont of a number of consolidated labor unione, and has for years been an activo spirit in the interests of labor, 1x the grand distribution of federal ap- pointments, Hon, John A. Kasson, of Towa, drew one of the capttal prizes—en- voy extraordinary and minister plenipo- tentiory ‘o Giermany. There was some talkk about Mr. Kasson being in poor health, The trip to Europe no doubt will do him good. 4 SurvEYOk GENERAL ATKINSON, of New Mexico, who is to be succeeded by a bet- ter man, has held office for ovar twenty years and isn't tired val, We venture to say that he is willing to hold office for twenty years more, and is very likely alceady laying his wires to secure another appomtment to a federal position, Tug receivers of the Wabash are still looking around for a general manager of their rond. We would suggest to the receivers that they tender the position to that able railroad manager ,Colonel Frank P. Hanolon, of Omaha, whose faith in ‘Wabash cost him considerable money. 1f he should be appointed manager perhaps he might menage to get even, Joserr DILLABAUGH, & newspaper cor- respondent at Hamilton, Ontario, recent- ly wrote to a contractor of that city that anumber of Irish Invincibles were in- tending to blow up some work that the contracior was enggged in, Mr. Dilla- baugh now laments his effort to getup a sensation, He is to be tried on the charge of conspiracy against the dignityof Queen Victoria, Jand abetting the destruc- tion of public building Sunvevor GENERAL ATKINSON, of New Mexico, must go. He ought to have gone long ago. His successor is to be Clarence Pullen, a civil engineer, who has resided in Now Mexico for a number of years, and is said to be a popular and honest man. Upon taking charge of the office Mr, Pullen will probably find many things that need straightening out. Suyrae referred in strong terms in his talk to the jury, to the fact that Rev. Harris had taken a deep interest in this case, and characterized church membership as ‘‘made up of weak- minded women and damn-fool men.— Omala Herald, Smythe perhaps thinks that church membership ought to be made up of such men as himself. Churches would then be mode! institutions, Such a severe criticism, as the above, coming from such a distinguished and brilliant source, must indeed be a crushing blow to the church people. ———— Tur falr Phabe Couzins has not labored in vain, It was due to her efforts that her father has been appointed Uuited States marshal for the district in which 8t. Louis is located. Mr, Coste, the retiring marshal, says that Miss Phocbe, {as chief clerk, will no doubt transact all the business of the office, as her father is a very old man. And we wventure to say that Miss Couzins has the ability to run the office. The St. Louis Republican ssys: probably knows as many people in St. Louis as anyone olse, and there 1sn't one that does't think well of him. e THE CONVICTIONOF GUTHRIE, The verdict of the jury in the Guthrie oase givesgeneral satisfaction. In theface of the overwhelming evidenco no honest jury could have come to any other con- clusion than that Ex Marshal Guthrie was guilty of bribery as charged in the indictment. The combination of lawyers for the defense based their only hope of 80 | gacape upon technicalities, and naturally enough they raised all sorts of trivial technicalities, but of no avail. They in- terposed innumerable “‘objections,” and the public was surprised when Me. Bald- win did not make his usual *“‘I object” when the verdict of tbe jury was an- nounced. The ease throughout was conducted with a determined spirit cn each side, no point being overlooked. Mr, Godwin, the district attorney, présecuted the case single-handed, and acquitted himself in a highly creditable manner. He has performed his duty fearlessly and un- flinchingly, and his efforts are apprecia- ted by the people. Ile has shown him- self to be a young man of ability and nerve, and a faithful prosecuting attor- ney. The verdict in tho Guthrie case will no doubt have a salutary effect upon the public morals, which had been greatly corrupted by the conduct of the marshal and mayor, It will teach men that hon- osty is the best policy, and that justice, although slow to move, will sooner or later overtake tho violators of thoe law. My, Guthrio, who personally always ap- peared to be a plensant und clever man, will have to pay the penalty of his crime by serving a term in the penitentiary. Knowing that he was guilty of bribery, he went before tho grand jury and delib- eratoly added porjury to his crimes by swoaring that he had never received any money, and that the charges were all false. He could have avoided the indictment for perjury, which yet hangs over his head, by refusing to testify before the grand jury on the ground that he would criminate himself, To-day Guthrie occu- pies a convict's cell, His reflections must indeed be humiliating. To think that for a few hundred dollars he would take the chances of going to the peni- tentiary, and blasting his lifo for ever, must certainly cause him to wish that he could undo the past. It is a severe lesson, but nevertheless a timely one, in the affairs of this city, and it is hoped that it will not be loat upon any man who may be inclined to follow in the footsteps of the fallen marshal, 1t was a necessary verdict to redeem Omaha from the disgrace that had been cast upon her by her corrupt chief executive offi- cials, Tix dofeat of the Springer substitute for certain laws regulating the pay of United States marshals, deputics, attor- neys, clerks, ete., is to bo regretted, The stbstitute practically abolished the fee syatom, and provided fixed salaries for theso officials. Tt was the result of the investigations of the Springer committee into the conduct of marshals and other officials and the discovery of gross abuses, to say nothing of the enormous embezzle- ments, the chief abuse being the trump- ing up of fraudulent and frivolous suits for the purpose of piling up fees. Unfortunately the substitute was inserted in thel sundry ocivil bill, a measure intended to be merely an appropriation bill, and its presenco there was the cause of its defeat, If the new propcsed law had been framed earlier in the session aud allowed to standupon its own merits, distinct from other legislation, it would now be a law instead of a dead amend- wment, Nearly every member of the committee on tho judiciary of the renato opposed it without distinction of party. While soveral senatora supported it and thought it should be permitted to become a law, many more in both parties opposed it, declaring that so extreme a change should not be made hastily in the last hours of a session, when it could not possibly be considered as its importance desorves, Mr, Springer probably feels somewhat aggrioved that his pet measure of the ses- sion should have been slaughtered by both party friends and foes, but he can console himself with the thought that a good beginning bas been made and that the feo system, with its attendant evils, will be abollshed next session, It is quite generally admitted, that the work of the Springer committes among the ofticials of the department of justice has struck the fee system a death blow. Trose “‘starving” Indians in Eastern Montana, who have been reported as feeding on range cattle, are now believed by the secretary of the interior to be a party of Black Kettle's band, who have been living in the Tongue river valley for the last four years, If this is the case the secretary of the interior says that they will not be disturbed. They surrendered to Gen, Miles at Fort Keogh, after the war in which Sitting Bull surrendered, and the general per- mitted them to remain where they are now instead of sending them to s reser- vation. He disarmed them, and sold most of their ponies, using the proceeds 0 buy plows, wagons and cattle, They settled down to farming voluntarily; broke their ponies to plows and wagous, built themselves houses, and have been very successful, Several of the Indian have entered homesteads and are living upon them, They have received no aid whatever from the government, except the first winter after the war, when they wore furnished » small quantity of flour by thewar de- partment, Until recently they ha been theoretically prisoners of war, ha ing never been officially turned over to f 1¥iax, Blation D, New York the care of the Indian buresu by the army, and have no agent. It is the only instance in history where migratory In- dians have voluntary commenced farm- ing and have been self-supporting, and the secretary of the interior will see that they are protected, It may be that they are having trouble with the ranchmen and have killed cattle, but it is more probable that the ranchmen are trying to drive them out of a good grazing vailey. —_— Tur American woman suffragists will no doubt admire the spunk of Miss Mul- ler, an English woman suffragist. She is a member of the London school board for the Lambeth district, and has the honor of being the first woman in England to pose as a martyr in the cause of woman's suffrage. She is a staunch advocate of the dootrine of “‘no taxation without rep- recentation.”” Miss Muller was one of the firat to propose, during the pendency of Mr. Woodall’s amendment to the fran- chise bill, that women throughout the kingdom should form societies to resist the payment of taxes until the franchise ehould be extended to women houschold- ers, When Mr. Woodall's amendment was 80 overwhelmingly defeated in the House of Commons, the ardor of the la- dies percoptibly cooled. Miss Muller, however, never wavered, and when the rate collector made his rounds she promptly and absolutely refused to pay a farthing for taxes upon her houss, in the fashionable precincts of Cadogan square. The collector argued and implored in vain, and finally dis- trained a portion of the furniture in Miss Muller's residenco in satisfaction of the lovy. Upon the invitation of Miss Muller hundreds of women collected at the house to witners the ‘“‘outrage,” and they near- ly mobbed the balifis while they were re- moving some of the household furniture. An indignation meeting was afterwards held, and the minions of thelaw, and the law itaelf, were denouneed in unmeasur- ed terms, Miss Muller, however, finds some comfort in the belief that her ex- ample will bo followed by thousands of women all over England, She proposes to continue the fight to the bitte r end. She will very likely receive sympathy and material aid from her American sistors, Mau, Cuaries Fraxcis Avavs, the new president of the Union Pacific, does not entertain o very high opinion of Jay Gould. The Boston Advertiser credits Mr. Adams with the following remarks about Mr. Gould: Gould’s operations in railway enterpris- es bave not been of a nature likely to encourage public confidence in his ideas of fiduciary relations. He was a broker, and 2 broker is almost by nature a gam- bler, perhaps the very last profession wuitable for a railway manager. In char. acter he is strongly marked by his dispo- sition for silent intrigue. He prefers, as a rule, to operate on his own account, without admitting anybody into his confi- dence, and he seems never to be satisfied, excapt when deceiving every one as to his intentions, - There is a reminiscencoe ot the spider in his nature, He spins high webs in the corners and in the dark, which are seldem strong enough to res a sorious straineat a critical moment. His disposition to this subtlety and elabora- tion of intrigue is irresistible. It is un neceasary to say that he has nota concep- tion of a moral principle. Inspeaking of this class of men it must be fairly assum- ed at the outset that they do not and can not understand how there can be any dis- tinction between right and wrong in mat- ters of speculation, so long as the daily settlements are punctually eflocted. Desrire the charges of the ZRepubli- can, the fact remains that Sheriff Gra- ham has recovered a vast amount of money from the bunko men and returned it to tho *‘suckers” since he has came in- to office. Within two weeks he has re- covered no less than $1,600, * * * Sheriff Graham has spent a great deal of money out of his own pocket to protect strangers from the bunko men, and the large sums of money recovered marks his wuccess. Of course, tho Lepublican i 0ot honest in its assaults on the sherif’s oflico, It doeen't care what the thieves aro doing, #o long as it can sling mud at & faithful and honest official, who is how- evor, not of its political way of think- ing.—Denver Tribune, Denver may be a beautiful health ro- sort, but it is a poor resort for ‘‘suckers’’ with fat pocket books as long so the no- torious Doc. Baggs and his bunko gang are allowed to operate there. It should not be as much the business of the Denver sheriff to recover money for the victims o8 it should be to suppress .the thieves. 1f he would do his duty Doc. Baggs and his bunko crowd would long ago have been *‘doing duty” in the penitentiary. No honest officer of the law would per- mit such thieves to remain in the ocity month after month to prey upon visiting strangers, What Denver needs is a grand jury modeled after the style ot the recent Omaha grand jury. A White wife Sold to an Indian, U nita (Colo,) Chieftain, A novel transaction took place in this vicinity during the past foew days. Itis of comon oceurrence for an Indian to buy a squaw, but for & white man to sell his wife and children to an Indian is a tran. saction which we never heard of. The two princi in transsetion were Thomas Kirby, of Alma, & pusillanimous little cur, and a dusky son of the forest who has been loitering hereabouts for several days, It appears that Kirby, by his abuse, had long since driven his wife from home, who took up her abods in Evanston, together with three children, The first that was known of the swap was on Woednesday morning, when the Indian bolted into the house, every room of which he proceeded to examine, The Iady inquired as te his iatentions, where- upon he iofermed her that “little white man in Alms sell we white squaw and three papoose—two girls, one eoy—for fm " The would-be property of the ndian was so minutely described that w!m? he said carried conviction in the wifu's mind as to Kirby's intentions, and kwith Quinn & Co.'s teamster, that the irate red man did not carry off his new purchases.

The club is being couducted on business principles, and will meet with financial success this season.” * ~——~““These frequent wind storms are making me lose confidence in ordinary houses,” remarked a well-known citizen, “and I am beginning to think that those persons in Nebraska who haveconstructed caves for places of safety during huri- canes and cyclones have done a very sen- sible thing, Eyery timea wind storm comen up my whole family are nearly frightened to death, and rush down cel- lar, If it is in the night time they all got up and dress, and make me follow suit. They shut every window in the house, and nearly smother me. I am {;alting tired of this sort of thing, and I ) clieve I'll have to dig a cave on my lot.” ——*T heard a good story about Mr. Garncau, the cracker manufacturer, the other day,” said & young lawyer. ‘‘Some years ago, while engaged in business in St. Louts, he desired to learn & new pro- cess of making crackers which was being used by a celebrated New York factory, and he didn’t know any other way to acquire the secret than to go to New York ard get employment in the factory. Soto New York he went, and sought employment in the factory. He suc- ceeded in getting a job at good wages, as he proved himself a good workman. Of course he assumed another name, otherwise he would undoubtedly have been detected, and not allowed to enter the establishmént. At the end of three or four months, Mr. Garneau, having learned the secret pro- cess, informea his employer that he in- tended to quit. ~*What’s the matter?' in- quired the employer, ‘are you not get- ting enough wages! I am paying you £4.00 a day. That's pretty good pay.’ ‘It isn’t enough for me. I can’t support my family on it,’ szid Mr. Garneau, ‘I am paying fifteen dollars a day for their board at the St Nicholas hotel.’ ‘Who the d—1 are you any how?’ asked the as- tonished New Yorker, ‘I'm Joseph Gisrneau, of St. Louis,” was the re- ply. ‘Isee through it all now,’ said his employer, ‘and I don't suppose a raise of wages would keep you in my employ.’ Mr Garneau said he thought nis cracker factory in 8t Louis demanded his imme- diate attention, and bidding his employer farewell, he returned home with his fam- crackers equal in quality to those of the New York factory. The result was that the Garneau cracker soon became famous for its excellence, and Mr. Garneau largely increased his business in a few months," " % ——“‘Have a cigar!” said a young man to Mr. O, H, Dewey, as he offered him a fine Havena. *‘No, thank you, I have quit smoking,” eaid Mr. Dewey. ‘I have been a smoker all my life, but I suddenly quit about two years ago.” ““How did you come to do that?” ““Well, 1 simply got djnguumd with thehabit, One day I stepped on to a street car and found the platform crowded with men, who, rather than throw away their cigars and go inside and sit down, preferred to stand outside in the sun and puff and smoke to the annoyance of every one passing in ot out. I was smoking myself at the time, but seeing these fellows all making smokstacks of themselves 1 became dis- gusted and throwing my cigar away I went inside and took a seat. I haven't smoked since. T have come to the con- clusion that the smoker is a national nuisance and a curse. Wherever you go you find him—on the cars, in the holels, in the lobby of the theatre, in conventions,in publio meetings, in depote, in barber shops, in offices, in business ¢ncan of all kinds and even in the parlor. ou'll find him at social parties sitting in the coat rooma puffing his cigar, while his wife or sweotheart is dancing with some other man. The cigar smoker is bed enough but the ciga- rotte smoker is s hundred per cont. worse on account of the sickening smell. Thera was a time when it was customary for a man to ask of others if smoking was offensive in their presenco, and if it was he would not smoke, The smoker of to-day, however, has not even good manners. IHe smokes at all times and in all places without oven asking whether it is objectionablo. and nine times out of ten he hasn't even the politeness to cense smoking in the presence of ladies, The man who doesn’t smoke is now called eccentric.
