Two years ago Ohurch Howe was a candidate for lieutenant-governor. Now he says that he would not take the office as a gift. What is the matter! Does Church want the earth? Mg, Vausstise is lying very low at present. He is making out prescriptions in his West Point drug store, and thero is no telling what sort.of love powders ho is fixing up for his delogates. Tus: repubiicans of this district will bo happy to learn that the Omaha Herald supports Weaver. The democrats are very anxious for the republicans to nomi- nato & man whom they can boat. As between a knave and an imbecilo in the exccutive chair, the people will pre- fer a knave. They can watch a knave, but they cannot protect their interests against the blunders of a fecble minded officer. Two years ago Jim Laird rode into the conventions and finally into congress en the B. & M. gravel train, and now a boss politician of that company is trying to switch him back to the national capital.

If Mr. Price does not want the oflice, there are several men who will take it even if they have to room in the garret. I is proposed to hold an independent American exposition in London in 1886, It1s a novel scheme and is already at- tracting a great deal of attention in Kng- land—more so than in America. Wo snspect that it is a money-making scheme on the part of some enterprising Yankee. From the prospectus of the exposition we learn that it is designed to represent every phaso of American life, from Wall street to Nevada, There are to be Cali- fornia wine shops,]Florida fruit stores, Indian canoe-makers, Alaska fisher- men, machinery of all kinds, with white and black operatives of both sexes; oil wells, mines of precious and base metals—overything, in fact, to show the industrial and agricultural pursuits of every class, The educational system is to be fully illustrated, the wonders of Yosemite and the Yellowstone will be shown in miniature, and everything American will be reproduced, down to canvas-back ducks and terrapin soup. The prospectus reaches its climax in the statement that the war department will send a display of modera artillery and arms, and the navy department will fel- low suit with modelsof iron-clads, There is no doubt that such an exhibit wonld draw crowds from the ends of the earth, and there may be ‘‘millions init. Counry Treasurer Rusn is altogether too previous in rushing to the defense of Assessor Doll, of the First ward, and rep- resenting him as an honest and impartial officer. The county commissioners, who are very conservative, have overruled Mr. Doll and raised the assessment ten Do not the county commiss- ioners know more about the assessment Perhaps Mr. Rush has This is no has been denounced by the Bk forJtwo years He has willfully violated his oath under the plea h he could interpret the law to suit own convenience, The law says that shall make an honest and equitable done, for he has favored big corporations and men of wealth, He may Lave made a fow ex- ceptions in favor of the poor men when he could thereby gain a few votes at elec- tion, 1f Doll is an honest assessor why did he not raise his assessment from last yoar, when we know that property has advanced from ten to fifteen per cent in per cent. thén Mr, Rush! been favored by Mr, Doli, new thing with Mr. Doll, who his outrageous methods, assessment, This he has . tha ward THE PIRSTWARD ASSESSMENT., The tax-paying citizens of the First ward are said to be indignant over the action of the city council in raising the assessed valuation of property in thaf ward 20 per cent. They propose to petition the clty council to reconsider Now, beforo the tax-payers their action. of that ward hold any indignation meet ing, Tu Dre like to say a fow words to them on the subject of assessed would valuation and taxes, not reconsider its action, because asa board of equalization it The the of equalization, as adjourned. law limits the time during which shall sit as a board having adjourned, it If there is any remedy in law it mubt be sovght in The horizontal advance of 20 an injustice in a this was the only counecil and done its duty and cannot be logally revived. the courts, per cent may opo few instances, but method by which the council could equal- i70 the extremely low assessment of the Kirst ward with the assessments of the other wards, The council could not send for every individual tax-payer, and cven if it had done so the limit of time would have prevented action on more than one- fiftieth of the property. The proper romedy for the tax-payers of tho Firat Ward is to elect an honest assessor in- stead of a fraud, who makes it his busi- ness to rob the tax-payers of the other five wards by his under-valuations. The Ber has ropeatedly denounced the methods of Assessor Doll as an outrage. It is alleged that the poor are going to suflor by reason of the 20 per cent. raise in the assessed valuation. This is not true at all. Itis Doll's undervaluation of the property of the wealthy that has causod the council to make the raise of 20 per cent. The poor man who owns & home assessed at lsss than £1,000 wlil hardly pay enough additional taxes to compensate him for the time he would spend in attending an indignation meet- ing and getting up petitions. Let us as- sume, for instance, that the average tax- payer among the poor is assessed at $800, This means that ho has property actually worth over $3,000. Twenty per cent. on $800 would raise the valuation to $960, and if the city tax is four per cent. he would pay on the old valuation § and on the new his tax would be £38.40, making aj difforenco of only $6.40 (in this year's taxes. Sut the fact is that not more than one out of fifty poor men is nssessed at £800. The most of them are not assessed at over $300. Under the new valuation this would be raised to §360, and the tax would be raised from $12to $14.40, making an increase of $2.40, not much more than an average day’s wages. On the other haad the poor man will find that he will be saving money by the raising of the valuation of the rich man’s property. The entire assessment of the ward was a fraction over §G00,000, and an increase of 20 per cent. would make 1t $720,000. Taking it for granted that the poor man's property represents one quarter of the eatire valuation, while three-fourths Include the rich man's prop- erty, the factories, packing houses, ware- houses, elevators, stores and costly resi- dences on the hills, we find that the poor man has been paying taxes on $150,000, which is now raised to $180,000. Under the old valuation he was paying, at 4 per cent., $6,000, and under the new valua- tion of $180,000 he will pay a tax of $7,200, making an increase of only $1,200 in the entire ward for the moderate prop- erty owners. The wealthy class, now assessed at £400,000, are raised to $040,000, and their taxes are increased £3,600. This $3,600, when applied to the payment of the general expenses of the city, will reduce in proportion the entire tax of the poor. The trouble in Omaha has been, as Tur Bee has time and time againshown, that the wealthy propertyowners have not paid their share of tho taxes, owi the fact that we have had too many un- fair and dishonest assessors, This has been especially the caso in the First ward, Assessor Doll, who hangs to the if there was a great deal oflico as in it for him, has always made special efforts to ocurry favo with the large proporty owners, Durin all'the years that ho has allowed the rich to escape an honest texation, the other wards of the city, together with the poor tax-payers of the First ward have been compelled to make up the de- ficiency caused by the tax-robberies which have been permitted by Doll, The First ward is assessed at $611,000, This is extremely low and unfair when compared with the other wards, First ward are located distilleries, brew- eries, packing houses, warehouses, eleva- tors, lumber yards, works, agricultural implement depots, factories and other large establishments, which are not found in the other wards, The Second ward is assessed at $911,000, the Third ward at $1,600,000. All the than the first, although not possessing such extensive interests, Mr, Doll has gone on with his under- state taxes, and the people were hood- winked into that idea. But on examina- make the burden of taxes uniform. correepond with the other. In the first place the city council can- | 1u the coal yards, gas other wards are assessed much higher valuations, from year to year, under the pretense that he was saving us from tion they have discovered that the state board of equalization inquires into the relative standard of the valuation of each county and raises or lowers it so as to For instance, if in Douglas county one fifth of the real valueis the average assess- ment, and Cass county it is only one- fifth, they would lower one county to Waarever may be the feeling against Mormonism there can be no justification of the assassination of a party of Mor. mon missionaries in Tennessee. Four Mormon elders, while preaching last Sunday to a small congregation in a pri- vate house in Lewis county, were deliber- ately shot down in the most cowardly manner by a body of thirty masked and armed men. (ther persons were severely [wounded. No greater outrage has ever been perpetrated in this coun- | try. 1f the Mormons were | committing any crime, the proper way arrested They to proceed was to have them | and punished according to Iaw. certainly had done nothing that deserved death. That such a thing should occur, | even in the backwoods of Tennessee, is a | matter of no little surprise. Had the Mormans been driven from the commun- ity, which could have easily been done, the affair would have excited little or no comment. As it is, Tennessee has beer should at least make some effort towards wiping out the stain. This can be done by promptly bringing all the assassins to justice. T ARTIC HORPOR, 1t is now generally believed that the survivors of the Greely expedition saved their lives by feeding upon,the flesh of their dead comrades. atenant Greely offictally reports that private Henry was shot on the Gth of June for continuid | thefts of food from his comrades, and that he had a military execution, Greely, who had repeatedly warned IHenry that he would be shot if he did not desist, claims that his execution was necessary to maintain military discipline. As to the alleged cannibalism, however, Greely says, in an unofiicial interview, that if there was anything of the kind it must have been an individual act, as he saw nothing of it. Ho does not state positively that he does not know that they ate human flosh. Tho whole matter will probably come out in duo time, as Lieutenant Greely has { disgraced, and the officers of the law ‘ STATE JOTTING | Ninetcen teacher o employed in the | lie # of Grand 1<land The board of edncation have received 100 applications for positions from teache The Bank of Onss County, in Plattsmouth, 195 contracted for the crection of an ank building to be completed th The «afe in the B, M. depot at David City was cracked the gher night and 300 in cash taken, The flus 1 burglar yvered heir tracks.

Sec- retary Chandler, of the navy, will order a court of inquiry to investigate the exo- cution which may be approved under the circumstances as a military necessity. Incidentally the subject of cannibal- ism will bo investigated, if for no other object than fo get at the whole truth, Even if it is proved that the sur- vivors of the expedition ate the flesh of their dead comrades, including Henry, what can be done about it? It is true that it is sickening to think of it, but such things have been done before under oxtreme circumstances, whero the law of melf-protectiontakes precedence over all others. Men on a raft in mid-ocean, af- tor suffering the pangs of starvation, have {drawn lots to sce who should die first in order that the rest might be saved, and porhaps wen, situated as the Arctic explorers were, have done the same thing. So faa as Greely and his com- panions are concerned no one can blame them much if they had to & sort to such a horrible measure. No other feeling than that of sympathy can be expressed for them. But, if they really had to subsist vpon human flesh, they might as well make public the terrible details, and not wait for them to be brought out by an of- ficial investigation. The public wants to know the truth for the truth’s sake alone, no matter how shocking it may ap- pear. Tho disastrous rosults of this expedi- tion ought to put an end forever to fur- ther Arctic expeditions. Nothing has ever boen gained by these expeditions in the cause of science. Weo know now all that wo will ever know, porhaps, concern ing the north pole. What matters it whether wo over find the north pole? What good will resut therefrom? The world will contine to re volve all the same whether the north pole is discovered or remaing undisturbed in its ice-clad roundings, Even in tho interest of scionco there is o limit to fool-hardy ventures, and we hopo that the Greoly oxpedition will bo the last of Arotic ex- plorations under the patronago of the ad- sur- government, OFf courso if suicidal venturers wish to undertake such explor- ations upon thoir own responsibility wo suppose that they cannot be prevented.

The Young Woman Who Got Up to Sunrise Prayer Meetin', Atlanta Constitution, 1 must tell jou about we'uns all a gwine to the Union camp ground here tother week, and what happened to Caledony while we was thar, 1 hadn’t been to a camp meeting afore sence I was knee high to pap, and all I could fetch to mind about it was the smell of wheat straw and red apples, and gittin my eyes full of smoke whar they was cookin’ un- der a shelter, and hearin’ the mules and critters holler that was hitched to swingin’ limba all over the woods, and seeing two dogs fight, and a little boy fall into a spring and his mammy wear & hickory buSniuunly out on him, Some folks haint got one grain of senss about whippin’ of a chile, She had let him run off and hadn't paid no 'tention to him, sand when somebody axed her if she knowed whar her young one was, she "lowed: *No; I've left him in the hands of Providence,” but when she found the little fellow all wet and muddy and let it fon him with that hickory switch, I know 1n reason he thought he was in the hands of **Old Nick." But | must jtell you about Cal. Me and her had perused around and got ac- quainted \AiLK a right smart chance of boys. We stayed thar a week and one night, one of the preachers, a good old gray-headed wan, axed all the {uung folks to see how many of ' up to sunrise prayer-meetin’, Tho gals all sot into whisperin' and betten’ which would be the first one up the one that riz fust was to run all around and wake up tothers. Caleduny uever would be outdone in nothin’ if she could help it, and she is the banginest gal to git into scrapes ever you seed. She riz next mornin’ fore anybody else, and went over to the Robinson's tent to wake up the gals. Last year the gals had all stayed in the left-hand side and the boys in the right, and incose she thought the vals was in thar now, so she crept along casy and pulled aside the curatin and | stuck her head in and said *‘peep “And bless your life,” says Cal, *I couldn’t hardly get my head out to save my life. 1 feit that I was plum perry lized to the spot. The long bed agin the wall was chock full of boys; some sound asleay, some wakin’ up and two or three had riz and was a shuckin’ into ther clothes hard as they could stave, and thar I stood like a crazy gooses and couldn’t move hand or foot—peared jist like I couldn’t git my head out fore they could see who 1 waa to save my life; but when 1 did git it out 1 axed foot to help body and 'lowed I'd run and hide whar they couldn’t look out and see who it was. “1: said ‘‘peep, peep,” and made for the session room like a skeered bird flyin’ in out'n the storm 1 was shoroe it was empty like it was last year, but we never knows what a year will bring forth, I fell up the steps, shoved the door open and fell sprawlin’ in the middle of the floor saying *‘peep, peep, peep,”’ and peep was all I could say: *‘Peep, peep, peep,” says 1. ““What's the matter!’ eays ho, “Peep, peep,” says I, and I knew in reason 1 was as pale and white all the way 11| as a piller slip. “\Vell, what you peepin’in here for!” says he. ‘“Peep, peep,” says I, “hem boys, peep, them boys, what'll they think of me?” “Why? says he, “have you been a paoping at the boys? No, no, no,” says I, “'yes, no, y did—no I didn't, yes, yes T did,” says 1, tryin’ to scramble up, but my Kknees give away ane I fell agin,” Tho good old man had shucked into his clothes, and litted me up on my feet. Tother old feller riz up in bed and rubbed his eyes to see what upon the livin yet it all meant, and when I cotch a sight of him, if I han't already been skeered to death’ he would have fin- ished 1ne—a sottin’ up thar in a red flan- nel shirt without his wig and teeth was old Brother Cole. 1 wanted to fly, but I was too weak to move. The good old man helped me down the rteps and I went on back to the tent and aimed to stay thar and not show my face no more. | know in reason I said “‘peep” a thousand times, and the word was still ringing in my head when 1 rigged out in a frock I hadn’t wore, and borrowed Nan- cy Singleton’s hat, and made shore them boys wouldn't know me. I waited tel the 11 o'clock sarmon and everybody was at the stand and the singin’ had sot in, ‘tore I made up my mind to go; but atter 1 got fixed I made shore they wouldn't know me, and stepped out and riz my red unbrell and started across to the stand feelin’ all right when about a dozen little boys the size of Jack Simmons sot in to hollerin *‘poep, peep, peep” loud as they could, and all eyes looked at me. It was all 1 could do to stand it. 1 started back, but I knowed that wouldn’t do. They had done seed me, anyhow, 50 T thought I'd face 'em and go on to the meetin’, We'uns laughed at Cal, and tormented her life putty nigh out’n her about it. But Cal gits into so many scrapes she don’t mind it long. All sorts inginnerly goes up thar to the Unifon camp meetin'—good and bad, high and low, rich and poor, young and old, niggers and white folks, babies and dogs, mules, horses and steets. My taller candlo has burnt smack down into the socket, and is a winkin’ and a blinkin’. T'll mould some more, and to-morrow night I'll finish tellin you about the camp meetin’. e — SURE OF BUCCESS, ‘Wyoming Oil Fields to be Developed and Their Product Taken to Market., Cheyenne Sun. The party of English and eastern gen- tlomen who are members of the Wyo- ming Central association returned from their trip to the oil fields and other pro- ductive territory in the northern portion of Carbon and Sweetwater counties yes- terday. They did not appear to haveen- dured any serious hardships or to have passed through any critical perils. They manifested great pleasure with their trip and said that thoy had seen fine country and a great deal of it, As to the results of the trip, which it was believed would bo freighted with importance to Wyo- ming, each and all referred the inquisi- tive reporter to Mr. Bothwell. It was with considerablo difliculty tha Mr. John R. Bothwell, the gentleman recognized as the foremost mover in the entorprise, was corralled and induced to talk, He madoa sort of deprecatory motion when the reporter cornered him, and then, seeing that it was useless to run, said “'Well.I suppoge 1 mizht giveyou what information 1 can. The party have re- turned from a long trip,haviny thorough- ly enjoyed it, and they are all of a favora- ble opinion of Wyoming territory. What we want the people of Wyoming to know is that we mean business. What we are doing, not what it might be imagined we are going to do, is the matter of interest. The Wyoming Central association has shipped $10,000 worth of machinery from Pennsylvanin. Thore will bo a gang of men, with derrricks and other machinery into that country within two weeks, drill- ing oil wells, Several gangs aro at work there now sinking shafts. The development of the ofl country is going on just as fast as it can be crowded. 1f we meet with success in our dnvelog- ments in the next thirty days, the prob- lem of getting the Wyoming oil to mar- kot will be very quickly settled. “We are going on with other work or the development of the —other re- sources of that country. If flowing oil wells are struck there will be 1,000 men out from Pennsylvania in & short time. “In regard to this railroad question: Woe have had railway surveyors in the field for a year, and have t_hem at_work now. Weare going to build a railroad, but where we will build the track is a matter for the engineers to sottle. “There is no longer a question of the capital coming into the country. It on- ly depends on the developments to di. rect the manner and rapidity in and with which it will be invested. We are going on just as fast as business prudence dictates. = The men who are putting in the money to develop the oil have the money to do everything else after the development is made. - R Threatening Retaliation, Fort Worth Gazette, This senseless quarantine against Texas cattle might be stopped if Governor Ire- land would quarantine against the peo- ple of every state which does not raise it. | —— Smoke Seal of North Carolina To- ba oo, MICHIGAN REPUBULICANS, A Full State Ticket Nominated and Prohibition Rejected, conven ittee on resolutions Mic to the princiy com @ republicans of their devotion pan declare anew lea and organiza tion of the national republican party upon stiens of national policy, and pledge their t cfforta for the success of its principles candidates (here follows the p adopted by the national repulican conve at Chicaeo,) The republican party rec the need of more off rights of the | st reward fo actment as will ing into ers of other state and countries, to be employed with compatition Ioboriog men of this .

The evils of intemperance have become so great thatin the name of patriotism, tha most ef- fective measures ought to be taken to reduce those evils to the minimum, and as the mem- Ders of no political party are wholly agreed as to whother this can best be done through pro hibition or regulation of the traffic in intoxicating liquors and as the people are and ought to be final arbitrators of the question, and as this moral and intelloctual people of the state asked that the question be put to the peopls by this sub- mission to them ohibitory constitutional nendment, we again dec hat we believe wounld be wise and patriotic for the next legislature to submit such an amendment to the direct vote of the pe and we demand that it be so submitted.” The substitute was was vote of 420, The platform i Gen, R.
