The widow told the gallant Howe that she did not favor fusion in Illinois, Wiy would it not be a good thing for Omaha to have the next soldiers’ re union? It is open {o the best bidder, and therefore we ought to be able to secure it for one year at least. Hanp the devil been labeled with the ropublican tag and been mnominated for anfoffice by the republican stato conven- tion the Lincoln Journal would have heartily supported his satanic majesty. Dr. CoNkuiNG, the remnant of the greenback party in this neck of the woods, is making arrangements for the reception of Ben Butler on next Tuesday. The dostor will probably do the formal introduction act. Tue Lincoln Journal continues to de- tend the school land frauds and every official connected with them. No one expected anything else, for it thrives and fattens upon the defense of fraud and rings and jobs of all kinds, Tue professional beggar is sometimes wealthier than the person who responds to his appeals for alms, A Turk was arrested in Westport, Connecticut, recently, for vagrancy, and upon his ragged person was found the sum of $800. 1t is no unusual thing to find upon investigation that some of these professionals have comfortable homos and support their families in good style, and that not a few of them are re- ally wealthy. ‘W were under the impression that the last presidemtial convention had been held, and that the entries in the raco for the white house had been closed, but now we are informed that we are to have a woman in the field, Mras. Belva Lockwood, who has been nomina- ted for president by the woman’s nation- al equal rights party in convention assembled at San Francisco. Mrs, Lockwood like all other candidates has written her letter of acceptance. She ought to receive the vote of the women of Wyoming, Utah, and Washington territory. Irisstated that among the porsons who have profited by the school land fravds one man in Lincoln has made $28,000 cash in the Lincoln land ring deal in school land loases, Hois not the only one that has fraudulently made thousands of dollars, and all this has occurred under the noses of Governor Dawes and Secretary of State Roggen, who are members of the board of public lands. Yet the republican state con. vention by the renomination of these officials has endorsed their administra- tion, Is it any wonder that the honest republicans of Nebraska resent this in- sult to their intelligence and manhood? How can they consistently endorse the action of the convention by voting for such men? ) — A rErinion has been presented to the city council signed by fifty-one persons, calling themselves mierchants, praying for the removal of the peanut and fruit stands from the sidewalks and streot cor- ners. It is hoped that the coancil will promptly lay the petition under tho ta- ble. The proprietors of these stands sertainly injure no one's business, and in the majority of cases they either pay a small rental to the property owners for the privilege of displaying their fruits in front of their premises, or else are grant- ed permission without charge. 1In no instance are they regarded as trespassers by the property owners who bave granted them this privilege, They are perhaps trespassers upon the sidewalk to a limited extent,but our side- walks are from sixteen to twenty feey, wide and these stands, occupying only about four feet, can hardly be called ob- structions, The fruit stands are all kept in a neat and attractive manner, and add miuch to the metropolitan appearance of the city. They are allowed in all other cities, and there is no [reason why they should ba disturbed in Omaha, The owaers are poor people, and to compel them to vacate their various locations would seem like oppression. If a cloth- ing merchant, a trunk maker, or a grocer has the right to occupy four feet of the sidewalk for the display of his goods, there is no reason why a fruit dealer,with movement in favor of legiala tion regulat- ing the railroads, To sccomplish this they will endeavor to manipulate both partics, In a demooratic district they will try to secure the nomination ot a railrond democrat, and in a ropublican district they will work for the nomina- tion of a republican railroad tool. Itis very evident why tho railroads are so anxious to elect their own henchmen to tho senate. That body is composed of but thirty-three members, and seventeen constituto a majority. It is therefore easier to buy up and control the senate thanit is tho house of representatives, which is composed of ninety-nine mem- bers. It now bocomes the duty of both the republican and democratic parties to assert their independence of railroad dictation, and consult the Interest of the public by nomi- nating honest and fearless men, not only for the senate, but for the lower house —men, who will command the popular respect. But above all things,look to your senators, It is the senate that the rail- roads will try to capture. So faras our stato leglalators aro concerned, this is to bo a campaign of candidates with avowed principles, and not alono of partios. The producers of Nebraska are tired of paying extortlonate tribute to the mo- nopolies, and they will support only such candidates as will take a bold stand, not only against further railroad aggression, but who will favor the regulation of railroads by legislation that will be fair to all parties. The legislative campaign is 1ot so much a question of politics as it is of self-preservation. If the railroads will not voluntarily retire from politics, the people have it in their power to force them to withdraw from tho political field and attend to their legitimate busi- ness, The timehas come for the railroad bosses to cease their control of the cau- cus and the primaries and the nomin ating conventions, and surrender the political machinery to the true and hon- est representatives of the people. Trickery, dishonesty, ballot-box-stuff- ing and bribery, which have been prac- ticed so many years by railroad politicians and their tools, must come to an end, Give us a free ballot and a fair count and wo shall soon have a healthy reform. Tur recetver ot the Pacitic Nation. al bank of Boston has begun suit against the ex-president and the directors to hold them res- ponsible for losses sustained by the bank through the negligence of the directors in the performance of their duties, This is an important suit, and is undoubtedly brought on good grounds. It is hoped that the result may be adyerso to the di- roctors, for it is high time that some stops were taken to impress upon the bank di- roctors the fact that they have important duties to perform, 1t is gencrally under- stood that a director is one who directs the affairs of the institution with which he is connected, but recent events have shown that bank directors are directors in namo only. About the only duty they perform is to pay an occa- eional visit to the back parlor of the bank more to kill timo than for any other pur- pose, As a rulo thoy know veryhttle of not'iug concerning the practical work- ngs of the bank, until the president or cashier walks off with overything but the safo and takes up his residence in Canada, whence no defaultor ever roturns, The directors then for the first time become aware that their trusted agent has been dabbling in stocks and got on the wreng side of the market. Had they investigated the af- fairs of the bank at frequent intervals, as they are in duty bound to do, they would have discovered the crookedness in its noipiency and averted disaster, That bank directors should be held responsi- blo for gross negligence thero should not be the least question, It will not do for them to escape all responsibility. When they are taught to do theirduty by a fewer wholesome lessons, we shall have few epeculating and defaulting bank presi- dents and cashiors, —_— Desvire the most watchful efforts of the United States customs officers in Washington territory, hundreds of Chi. nese are smuggling themselves across the line from British Columbia. Within the last sixty days 500 Chinamen have thus came into the United States, The Chi- anmen are first photographed in Victoria, and the photographs are forwarded to certain parties in Seattle, who for a con- sideration swear that the Chinamen whose photographs accompany the aflidavit were formerly residents or the territory and left prior to the passage of the restriction act. The aflidavits and photographs are then forwarded to a Chicago attorney, who presents the case to & custom house the permission of the property owner, should not enjoy the same privilege.

The Journal will be unable to follow its usual custom this time and print the comments of the state press on the late republican state convention and the tick- ot it placed in nomination, of dissent is to be heard from any pro- fessed republican paperexcept the Omaha 3kk, The ticket is universally pronounc- ed a strong and good one, and the press rushes to its support in the usual cheer- ful and manly style, The reasons are full and conclusive, and are given in style and tone that would do credit to metropolitan papers. So far as we are able to judge at this early period, there will be an old-fashioned republican eri- umph at the polls in November. There is every reason to believe that this is the only western state in which the election will not show serious disturbances in the party.— Lincoln Journal. The reference to Tur Bee inthe above extract is certainly a compliment to the independenco of this paper. So far as other papers aro concerned we have not seen very many of them rushing to the support of the republican state ticket in a manner that would be called enthusias- tie. The trouble is that the party organs have become #o accustomed to support any man iaboled with a republican tag that they would have endorsed even a weaker ticket than the one that was nominated. They seem to act without thinking of the result of such a course. However, there is a reaction sitting in, which cannot fail to cause a disturbance in the ranks of the republican party and especially among the honest thinking portion, The Lincoln Journal evident- ly had not heard of the arraignment of Governor Dawes, Secretary of State Roggen, and the board of public lands by Senator VanWyck, whose indictment of those officlals is based on the school land frauds. If those officials have not the decency to withdraw from the ticket, the state central com- mitteo ought to take some action in the matter and request them to withdraw. The candidacy of officials who are in any way connected with the school land frauds certainly imperils tho success of the ticket. Under the circumstances, the Lincoln Jowrnal is a little premature in predicting “‘an old-fashioned republi- can triumph at the polls in November” with such men as Dawes, Roggen and Leese. If thero ever was a wet blanket thrown upon the republican party in Nebraska, it is the ticket that has been nominated through the manipulations of John M. Thurston, the political avtorney of the Union Pacific, and Capt. Phillips, the political wire-puller of the B. & M., and other corporation henchmen, 700 MUCH SANDSTONE, WuiLe the Chicago Tribune may have been a little extravagant in its charges against the Union Pacific with reference to the uses it makes of every public body, by having its employees elected as members on every possible oc- casion 1t really does look as if there were more in the charge than appears on the faco. Tuke for example, the board ef oducation. Mr. E, K. Long, an agent of the Union Pacific, holds the responsi- ble position of president of the board. Asan agent of the city it is his business to look after the interests of the city and not let his connection with the railroad interfere with the strict and honest performance of his duty to the public. Without any authority whatever from the board of education President Long has signed for Colorado sandstone to b used as the pavement on lower Dodge street, in front of the Third ward school. The echool property belongs to the public, and Mr. Long has assumed a great deal of authority in acting without the sanction of the public. He knows well enough that the people of Omaha do not want randstone for pavements, as it is entirely unfit for such a purpose.

Georgo Crook has given the re- sult of his policy toward the Apaches in a letter to Mr. Welsh, of the Indian commission. Crook, more than any other man in America, has been succese- ful in his dealings with the Indians and 15 the only officer who has _ever won and retained the respect and confidence of the Apaches, the most intractable of all the native tribes. In full command of the department of Arizona, with all the army at his back, the iron hard of auth- ority has always been hidden by the glove of gentleness, but none know bet- Colorado sandstone may be all right for building purposes, and perhaps botter than any other stoue that we got for the same price.

The board of education should certainly take decisive and immediate steps in this matter as there is no authority for the president alone to incur liabilities for the city, The action of Mr, Long will convince the peo- lic more than ever thatno employe of the railroads can bo supported for oflice as no man can serve two masters, —_— STATE Ju Lincoln has bought 1,200 tons of water pipe, Burglars and pickpockets are harvesting a large crop in Fremont, .

His methods have been condemaed by those who thought they perfectly understood the Indian problem, but he has mostly had his way because his superiors had the good sense to truet his experience and judgment. There was much difficulty a year ago when he in- sisted on admitting the Chi- racahua Apaches, who had surrender- ed to him in the Sierra Madre, after committing horrible atrocities, to the San Carlos reservation with the others who had remained peaceably behind, though Crook’ advice was taken in the end. Of the results he now says that the reports are of the most encouraging character. OF the 512 members of that band all save the small childron and a tew broken down men and women are now hard at work farming, The Apache had been kept from idleness and made a producer. He has begun to realize the value of money and that he may fill the measure of his needs with his labor. The Apache is quick to know his rights and as quick to defend them with a vigor and ferocity that made his namo a synonym for all that was horrible and repulsive in the In. dian character, and rendered it hard to do justice to his natural sense of honor and robust virtues. Crook found that Penn’s method was a8 efficient to-day as when that shrewd Quaker first practiced it at Philadelphia “In dealivg with the Apache,” says he, ‘“‘gontleness, patienco, intelligence, truth and honesty are essentials.” ~ For years he reflected how best to regulate the tur- bulent spirits who would resist innovation and attempts of dicipline or reswant of lawlessness. Finally, with some misgiv inus, he adopted the plan at arraigning offenders against members of their own tribes before native juries, who wore in- structed in the climentary principles of law und legal procedure. The results have excoeded expectation. Their inves- tigationg have been thorough and the punisement just and prompt. In one res- poct the Apache juryman was found be hind his civilized brother—he was never known to be bribed. Crook first applied his policy to the Apaches in 1873, '74 and '75, but during his romoval from the department of Ari. zona, for some years, the good results ho had attained were nullified by the acts of sharks in the posts of Indian agents and their abettors, who plundered the Indi- ans right and left, until the latter lost all confidence in the government and were on the brink of anoutbreak, It required all of Cook’s tact and influence to keep them at peaco till an adjustment could be made. He believes that had there not been such an interruption of their pro- gress in the path of civilization, the Apaches would now, at least many of them havo been fairly well qualified ts recsive the elective franchise, or, with little doubt, have been self-supporting and generally prosperous. Crook finds the Apaches now beginning to be anxious to follow agriculturs and stock raising, to give their children to the schools, and with a general inclination to make money. To have awskened such desires in the breast of such siwages has gono a very long ways towards solving the problem of how to produce a good Iudian without killing him. It is not theu character of all the tribes to produce such rerults, at loast uot without efforts last- ing through generations, But whon Gen. Crook closes his letter by saying that there is not in the state of Pennsyl vania a village of the same population more peaceable or law abiding than ths 6,000 Apaches on the San Carlos reser- by the electrical current, machines for weaving, machines forsewingand machines for electrotyping; the Roosevelt organ in the gallery, with its electrical attach- ment and operated by an invisible organ- ist.

Naver by mechanical methods has there been witnessed so brilliant an illu- mination as was seen beneath the roofs of the electrical building during the night. In all there were 50,000 incan- descent and 350 arc lights blazing from all points—a light equal to more than 1,000,000 candles. o ——m— Four DMillions, Wall Street News, The railway magnates are getting mod- est. Four millions is about the number of dollars that each is asking for just now. That sum comes from unwilling contributors a good deal more reluct- antly than 10,000,000 did a year or two ago. Mr. Vanderbilt was reported to have come down from Saratoga two or three weeks ago especially to pay a float- Ing debt of $4,000,000 for the New Yorx Central. Erie wants more money to pay a floating debt, and the amount named is 4,000,000, although a good deal more flé:n that would undoubtedly be accept- able. The Louisville & Nashville also fixes the amount it would like at $4,000,000. In this case, also, a good deal more would probably be acceptable. Wabash also names $4,000,000 as the amount which its unlucky stock- holders will be required to put up to pay off a pressing floating debt, and if the money 8o put up is not irretrievably lost to the putters we shall bo willing to take all that remains. Lake Shore’s report to the railroad commissions of date June 30 shows a floating debt of about $4,000,000, but we believe there are yet left somoe second mortgage bonds, from the sale of which they can raise more money. Now York and New England, which is 80 dead that most peoplo have forgotten it, is trying to raise about $4 000,000 to pay off floating debt, and the times are so booming that even the Mas Central, which has had its $4, and spent it, is plucking up cous sk that somebody furnish § more to complete get it into position to compete for un- profitable Hoosac Tunnel business, Bat it is greatly to the credit of poor St. Paul that it asked for only £800,000 the last time it came around, The amount was sosmall that bankers, 1t was said, advenced it on bonda at a discount, The report now is that the bonds don’t sell worth a cent in London, and the aforesaid bankers are not feeling happy about the matter, We await further in- formation about St. Paul’s financial af- fairs with interest. ——— The Paramount Issue, From George W, Julian’s address at Indian: apolis, The paramount issue in this canvass is political morality, 1t involves the ques- tious of infidelity to trusts, of truth and falsehood, right and wrong, honesty and dishonesty in the conduct of public af- fairs. Political corruption has become a great national canker, If the misdeeds of & public man are to go unrobuked, it weakens the standard of integrity in pri- vate life. One public rascal, it has been well observed, becomes the father of a multitude of private ones, Break- ing out in high places corruption finds its level, overflowing and poisoning the moral as well as the political life of the people. No re- form is possiblo in any direction if we are not able to etem back the tide which threatenes to lay waste to the republic. We shall fall hopelessly if we can not in- spire in the people, and especislly in the coming generation, the love of rectitude, and restore the maxims of common honesty to their righiful sway. No theories of politics, no soundness of political doctrines can save us if the in- togrity if our public wen loses its at- traction for the people; for democracy is “*not born out of the sky nor wrought in dreams,” but demands “a seasless con fliot of the pouple with ever-recuring vation, ho presents an extraordinarily strong case, and seems to have demon- | strated the possibility of making peaces- ble and useful citizens of these hitherto | implacable freebooters of the plains, 1t/ moral dangers — The Passeuger Hate War.
