The election in that state takes place to-day. The democrats will hold that election. Now that Indian Commissioner Prico has withdrawn his resignation, the coun- try is safe and the Indian will continue to draw his rations with the usual regu- larity.

Tar Omaha 7 bun ita first anniversary to-day, is a phenome- , which celebrates nal success. It is the first daily in the German language in Omaha that can boast of continuous publication for a whole year. The paperis deservedly popular, and owes its success to the fact that it is conducted in an able, dignified and conservative manner. Tue struggle for the possession and management of the Chicago Zimes has resulted, temporarily at least, in favor of A, L. Patterson, the business manager, who has been connected with that paper for twenty five years. Ho has been ap- vointed conservator of the estate, and has been required to give a bond in the sum of $3,000,000. Ir the achool land sharks in the state house at Lincoln imagine that they can be whitewashed by taking back-action on the Keith county frauds, they are very much mistaken. The Koith county frauds are a mere bagatelle. Thero 18 acarcely a county in the state in which the land syndicate has not operated. There was *‘millions in it,” so to speak. Tur republicans «f Arapahoe county, is which Denver is located, have, after a fierco contest, nominated a legislative ticket favorablo to the re-nomination ot Senator Hill, 1f these candidates are elected, the eenator's triumphant re-elec- tion is conceded. Senator Hill is one of the ablest representatives in the scnate in the region west of the Mississippi, and Colorado will do herself proud in sending him back to the senate for six years longer. His re-election would not only reflect credit wupon Colorado, but it would materially aid the whole country in its struggle with the powerful corpora- tions that are now seeking to dominate over the land. Mr. Hill's career in the United States senate has been free from all jobbery, and his bold and manly course in the advocacy of broad measures for the relief of the people commends him to all clase Ty bi-ennial school census of Chicago has just been completed. It gives Chi- cago a population of7610,323, composed of the following nationalities. Ger- mans, 209,631; Americans, 143- 000; Poles, 23,600; swedes, 23,766; Bohemians, 18 281; Nor- wegians, 18,202: Irish, 114,000; English, 20,142; French, 8,431; Scotch, 7,182; Danes, 5, 971: Italians, 4,091; Cansdians, i ns, 1,606, Welsh, 1,118 ; Hungerians, 273; Bwiss, 272; Belgian, 245; Spanish, 107, 1t will be seen that the Germins are more numerous than auy other foreigu vationality, the Irish coming next, and that there are more Germans in Chicago than there a'e Americans, and 407,323 foreigners or over three times as many foreigners »s there are Americans, Is is wonderful that foreiguers, and especially the Ger- mans snd the Irish, not only in Chicagzo but elswhere, demand a fair representa- tion in political conventions and & fair suare of the public offices. Now, we are not aware that anybody, least of all Tue Ber, would impute un- fairness or fraud to Col. Neiaig. All *| who were prescnt at the convention will accord to him the honor of being the best chief secretary that has ever served in any convention in Nebraska, But Col, " Neidig did not keep the tally shoets nor does he know whether the candidates | were properly credted with the vote given. Ho stood in the stage, through the entire balloting, by the side of the chairman, calling back each vote as it was announced by the respective coun- ties. The tally sheets, if wo remember right, were kept by the notorious “Gad” Brad Slaughter, who is an adept at the business of counting out candidates, and was, two years agn, instramen- tal in defeating William D. White, the choice of the convention fortreasurer, and counting in Loran Clark, who, in turn, was defeated at the polls by the people. At that convention Frank Ran- som was fairly nominated but was count- ed out amid ‘‘uncontrollable disorder” and the presentattorney-general, Powers, declared the nomince. ~ Without the slightest imputation upon Col. Nidlig, we reiterate what has been _ atated to us by parties who did keep the tally, that Frank Rinsom was fairly nominated before the last roll call was ordered. In both instances the out- rago perpotrated through the fraudulent count aftects the people of Nebraskaa great deal more than it does Mr. Ran- som. The present attornoy-gencral, who ranks among tho weakest members of tho bar, has been summarily re- tired by the party after he had been shown to be an accomplice of Glonn Kendall in the school land swindles, which never could have been perpetrated without his so-called *‘opinion” interpret- ing the law regulating the leasing of school lands. In view of that fact in be- hooved the republican party to nominate as a successor to Isaac Powers a lawyer of acknowledged ability and unimpeach- able integrity. Had they nom- inated General Dilworth no valid objection could haye been raised hy the friends of Mr. Ransom, whose eminent fitnees for the position no one will dis- pute. But when they nominated Mr. Lees, who is not oven a third-rate lawyer, and has no business in the supreme or even in the district court, they perpetrated an outrage on the people and insulted the intelli- gence of the republican masses. Mr. Leose is, for all we know, an upright man, but what would his opinion as at- torney-goneral bo worth to the legisla- ture or any state oflicer on any constitu- tional question or other grave mattera?” The attorney-generalship is not created as a soft berth for an inexperienced law- yer to acquire an education and draw a salary, but it is designed specially for men of eminent legal ability whose opin- ions will carry weight and respect with them, and who can enccessfully repre- sent the state not only in our state courts buteven in the United States courts, when the interestsof the state are in- volved. The counting out of Mr. Ran som and the counting in of Mr, Locse is therefore not only a great porsonal wrong but a matter of gravo concern to the peoplo of this stats. The repub- lican party has no right to ask the people of attorncy goneral who is incapablo of performmy the duties, and it scoms to us oven at this late date that Mr. Leese should be induced or requested to withdraw, to elect a man to the office ANCE AND INCEANDI- ARISM, There is a lamentable lack of interest manifested by Omaha insurance men in the detection, punishment and prevention of incendiarism. The manifest duty of every insurance agent is to use due dili- gence and vigilance in bringing to justice parties who set fire to buildings cither for the sake of getting the insurance money or from motives of malice and re- venge, The ordinary fire risks incurred by insurance companies from accidental fires perhups do not comprise more than three-fourths of the losses, and if the real causes of all the fires could be ascer- tained we believe that fully one-half would have to be charged up to incen- diarism, Within the past year a number of fires have occurred in Omaha that have bven deliberately set by fire-fiends or insurance swindlers, Of these the fire in the Bek office was beyond a shadow of a doubt the work of malicious fire-bugs. Ever since that fire the proprietors of this paper, knowing and believing that the persons who set that fire were printers and former employes, have exerted overy effort to pring these pariies to justice. With the single exception of Charles Kaufmann, who inspected the prem within an hour after the fire, the local agents in Omaha have exhibited supreme indifference, They knew that two per- sons were arrested at the instance of the Bee publishers, and were informed that detectives were employed who felt confident of making a strong case of circumstancial evidence to INSU justice of the peace, happened to occupy the place of police judge during Judge Beneke's illness. Justice Weiss may be a good man when he is sober, which is very seldom, hut he is as unfit to maintain the relations which he holds to the insurance companies as he is to occupy the position of justica of the peace or judge of the police court. Tt was his sworn and man- ifest duty to bind over and hold for trial the parties charged with the firing of Tuv Bek offies if there was enough testimony to show that the crime of arson had been committed and the persons charged with this heinous offense had motives and opportunity for such a crime, and that there was reasonable ground for believing they had committed that offense. On the trial of this case it was shown that these parties had made threats and had for months carried on what they call- ed “boycotting” the Bre. It was shown that Hines, the prin- cipal, was a sort of a Guiteau and had been one of the chief actors in this boy- cotting business. 1t was proven by com- petent testimony, and by the admission of Watson, his pal, thatwhon Watson was taken to jail, he said ho was glad to see him because he was afraid he would givethem away. Itwas shown by the fire depart- ment chief and his assistant that the fire was the work of incendiaries, and an unimpeachable witness, William Strahl, night fireman at Strang’s building, which stands adjoining the Bre office, fully identified Hynes and Watson as tho par- ties v ecn prowling near the en trance of the Bk building, at a little af- ter four in the morning provious to the fire, that the door leading into the Bek building was forced open and the parties disappeared. The only evidence pro- duced to clear Hines and Watson was a dozen printers who swore that the accused had loft the Z/crald printing house about 4:00 or 4:10 a. m., and that they were seen by two employees of the Republican a', Higgina’ saloon from twenty minutes to half an hour later. Within these twenty or thirty minutes they had am- ple time to go from the Herard building to the Beg office, set the fire and walk up Douglas stroet to Higgins' saloon. According to Night Fireman Strabl, who fully identi- fied them, they did go *here,and the only tostimony offerod to gainsay that was from a printer and pal of Hines and Watson, who swore that he was sitting outside the building oppssite the Brk office from 4:J5 a. m. to the time of the fire and did not see anybody across the street. The man who did 800 & crimo committed can never offset tho positive testimony of a crediblo wit- ness who did see it. But Justice Weiss was more anxious to pander to the mob mob that hung around the police court than fo protect society and the insurance companies againat fire fiends. not Mr. Weiss is anxious to be re-elected Jus- tico of the peace in the Third ward, whore the tramps, vagrants and outlaws are known to hold the balauce of power and this is why ho disgraced tho bench and botrayed his own trust by turning loose a cbuple of mon who aro at best tramps who can walk out of town at any moment, One of these men testified that ho had been in juil severaltimes in New York and clsewhere, and Hines has ot 80 low that he is capable of most any- thing, especially when struggling with the jim-jams. Had the insurance agents of Omaha shown as much interest in this prelimi- nary examination as the associates of Hines and Watson, it is barely possible that Justico Weiss would have sent the caso to the grand jury for further exam- ination, and bound the parties over. At any rate it is to b hoped that our local insurance agents hereafter will not al- low their apathy to overcome their duty to the public and to the companies whom they represent, " As usual Tue Bee doesn't llke the state .ticket, but as usual the state ticket will get there by a very large ma- jority. — Fremont Tribune, ‘‘As usual” probably means since the railroads have packed the conventions and nominated the candidates. Tue Ber supported every state ticket up to and including 1880, By the way, how large was the majority given to the state ticket two years ago, when the candidate for treasurer was defeated by 4,000 and the governer only received 43,495 votes out of 80,068, and Roggen, who ran away ahead of his ticket, only polled 402 more than a majority! Albinus Nance, in 1880, was elected governor by 32,108 majority, when the aggregate vote was only 87,8456, 1t would seem that times have changed. Tue Omaha Zcpublican has deliber. ately and maliciously gaibled the testi- mony taken during the examination of Hines and Wateon, who were charged with setting the Bk oftice on fire. It took particular pains to falsify the testi- wony of the principal witness, who saw both these men prowling near the Bee office just bafore daylight on the morning of the fire, and who fully identiffed them forgotten by the loyal people of the country and the brave soldiers who were at the front in defense of the union, The blue and the gray may mingle at reunions, and {ime may reconcile the warring sections, but the loyal people of the country will not assist in elevating a man who gave aid and comfort to the enemies of the union Tur Grand Army re-union, which takes place this week at Fremont, promises to be more largely attended and a more brilliant success than any re- union ever held in the state. Nebraska is pre-eminently a soldier state, and §the veterans and their friends will be warm- Iy received and cordially entertained by the hospitable people of Fremont, which fsone of the prettiest towns in Ne- braska, Just at the present there is more of a demand for the votes of the working- man than there is for their labor. CITY WALKS AND TALAS. A correspondent writes to the B! Man About Town charging him with in- appreciation of the motive of offering prizes for the exhibitisn of babies at the Nebraska state fair. Our correspondent says that *‘the object is certainly a wor- thy one, as it will stimulate one of the most essential industries of this wonder- fullyproductive state.”*‘Itstrikes us,”says the writer of the communication, *‘that tho Bk is mistaken when it aflirms that apples are mnot a fit prize for the hand- somost girl baby. You forget that apples were the first prize that our first mother hankered after in the garden of Eden, al- though the result of eating it was not wholly satisfactory tothe family. * * * However, if the appropriateness of the prizo for the handsomest Nebraska boy baby should be taken into consideration a silver-mounted base ball club must be presented, as all the handsomo Nebraska boys’ first ambition is to become a profes sional base ball player.” ¥, **x ——‘“When I was in St. Louis the other day,” remarked an old-time tele- grapher, “I was considerably puzzled when I heard the newsboys yelling out, ‘Here's your /[vening Chronicle and Peck’s Sun, both for five cents,” and *Fvening Chronicle and a fan for five five cents.” Upon inquiry 1 learned that pennies are mo good in St. Louis, and the (iropicl¥, which is a penny sheet. is obliged to be so'd on the strecus in con- nection with other papers or articles of vazious kinds,” **x —“While I was in the Wells-Fargo ex- press office, the other day,” said a busi- ness man, *“ a Chinaman, who has been a laundryman in Omaha for a few years, came in with a package of gold. It con- tained $1,000 in twenty-dollar gold pieces, which he wanted to send by ex- press to China, The charge was $5.75, which he thought was a little too much, and failing to get a reduced rate, he con- cluded not to send the money. So he went out with his gold, and returned it to its hiding place. Only a few duys be- fore this, I was told, he sent a smaller amount home to China. This shows the thrift of Jobn Chinaman, who accumu- lates dollars where » white man could not lay up cents. The Chinese are no good for this country. The Chinese must go.” ¥ % * —“Nearly everybody in Nebraska knows, or ought to know, the May brothers, of Fremont,"” remarked a prom- inent citizen of Omaha, *‘There is not a jollier set of ‘boys’nor a better business firm in Nebraska than they are. They are among the most prosperous merchants in the state, and have built up a whole- sale business in Fremont equal to that of almost any house in Omaha. Lew is the ‘hail fellow, well met’ of the brothers, and what he doesn't know about Shake- speare, ichthyology, the necessaries of life, as well as the luxuries, isn’t worth knowing. The ‘boys’ have issued an in- vitation to their many friends, who may attend the Grand Army reunion at Fro- mont, to be present at a social reunion in theivstore on next Thursday evening. With a view of contributing to the pleas- ure of the occasion they have arranged an informal reception, and will be specially at home on that evening. And aon't you forget it, I shall be there,” **x —"“After being In St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Jos, and Leavenworth, 1 am better satished with Omaha than ever sald & prominent business man who re- cently visited those cities, “‘St. Louis is & slow going town with narrow streets, poor pavements, and din- gy locking buildings, The macadam and wooden pavements are full of holes and ruts which are filled with mud.

This faccinatng story, one of the best from the author’s practised pen, will find a multitude of earnest and apprecia- tive readers, It draws a sharp contrast between genuine, practical religion and its fashionable substitute, and shows the hollowness of a life not based upon sound principle. The char- acter of Lcis Gladstone is clearly and ef- foctively drawn, and the story of her ex- periences in the Hurd household, with the changes brought about in it through her quiet but persistent iufluence, is told with skill and feeling, There is hardlya we know of few books which contain so much that is really helpful to young girls placed in positions where self-control, moral courage and self-sacrifice are re- quired.

The author was with Mr. Blaine the day after his nomination, and in his hospitable mansion day after day for nearly a month since, has been gathering material to muke the volume authentic, fresh, and com- plete, a ook for the tamily and voter. Itis a large 12 mo. of over 400 pages, with a steel portrait of Mr. Blaine, made expressly for the work, and ocher illustrations. Mrs. J. W.

The treasurer says that as a friend of labor Butler is the ‘‘latest and greatest hum- bug in American politics.” Another charge is embodied in a suit in the courts against DBatler, to the effect that he demanded 000 for Linducing the gov- ernment to compromise some suits against some clients who had been found suilty of defrauding the government through violations of the revenue laws. Butler appeared as counsel for these criminals while he was governor and his conduct in doing 8o attracted much atten- tion at the time. Itnow appears that he received $30,000 for his services while the government received only $20,000. In other words thegovernment must have lost much more than $30,0000 through his eflorts, for his clients could only pay him that sum if by so doing they could escape paying & much larger sum into the national treasury, where it would have lightened the burdens of the laboring man by lessening taxation, There is nothing new in these revelations so far as they effect Butler's character. He has been working in that way all his life. —— Malarfa is a Mean Thing. Malaria has no color. Malaria has no odor. Malaria makes no noise. Malaria is very sly in its way of coming.

The finest skating rink, we opine, in the state, is being erected “at the corner of Sixth and Otoe streets.

Our Christian or Campbellite brethren are soliciting fi for a new church which they will ‘build on the corner of Ninth and Nehraska streets.

Two new churches—well, rumor hath it that a couple of saloons areto be start- ed in two of the new skore buildings now being erected, so it is necessary for some more churches to counteract them. While in the religious line, we might mention that Pastor Read ot the 1st Bap- tist church has tendered his resignation, to take effect October lst, and the lst Presbyteriau church has extended a call to the Rev. C. D Jeffties to come and watch over their flock for the ensuing ear.
