Tuene is some differance between hav- ing offices and having them to get. That is what troubles the democratle office- seokers, —e Tue cares of atate alecady weigh heav- ily upon Boss Boyd. He feels the grave responsibiltty in ladiing federal pap to tho hungry and thirsty. Tury all want to tarn the rascals out. That is the only point upon which the Nebraska democratic state central com- mittes and the hordes of office-seekers were unanimouely harmonious. THERE isno lack of candidates for Garland’s Arkansas senatorial shoes, There are eight aspirants In the field, with a dozen more to take the plate of any who may fall by the wavaside. Tue natlonsl commissioner of labor statitisss, who labors principally with his jaw, recommends that threespecial agents be eent to Earope to Investigate the labor question in all its ramifications. This is providing a pleasure tour for three gen- tlemen of lelsure that Ia equal to Senator Manderson's proposed investigation trlp to Alaska. There are many stat'sticlans who are anxious to teke such au excur- sion, TiEre {8 nothing like having .8 well- orgauized milltia aftor all. So thinks Governor Sherman, of Iowa, who em- ployed the militia in the battle against Auditor Brown, whom he compelled to surrender. The governor will no doubt recommend to the noxt legislature that the militiamen engiged in this three minates war be pensioned. Tue democratic state central commit— tee failed to agree upon a plan of distrib- uting the federal patronage. Every oflice secker is thus left free to scramble for potition according to own his ideas. Secre- tary May will now return all the applica- tions that have been filed with him in case sufliclent postage stamps are sent to him by the applicants. Tue state of Kavsas has received from the secretary of the United States the sum of $333,308, appropriated by con- gress as a remuneration for expenses in- curred in repelling Indian invasions, It strikes us that if Kansas could get that amount of money for old Indian claims, Nebraska ought to get about a million dollars. She has had about three times a8 many Indian invasions as Kansas, Tue controversy hatween the governor of Iowa and the auditor has taken a new and Interesting torn. The governor called to his ald a equad of militia with which he forcibly captured the auditor's offic, ejected Auditor Brown, aud put Mr. Cattel, the auditor pro tem, in possession, No bloed was shed, and at last accounts the goveraor'a forces were holding the fort. The aflair, of course, creates great excitement, and public opinlon Is divided over the governor's action. In all probability the governor was acting advisedly, and will bo suztain. ed by the authorities. He has heen correct 80 far ia his proceedings, and as to this last act, ho claims that as Brown was holding the offico withont bond or securlty to tho state, he felt it his duty to take poesassion by forca UNFORTUNATELY there is no immediate prospect of agreement betweea the city council and the county comm!ssioners with refcranes to the old court house property. The wrangle may continue fer several years, Meantlme the property will remain unimproved without yield- ing a dollar of revenue to the eci'y or county, Inasmuch as the cfty Includes about seven-tentbs of the valuation of the county, it woald bs more sensible for the commissloners and the clty councll toarrlve at some understanding, whereby the city can come into abeolate and un- disputed possession of the old court house property and the county can secure suffi- cient funds with which to pay for the re- tainiog walls and approaches of the new court house. 8o long as the title 1s dis- puted the county will have difficulty in makiog a eale. Whatever the opinlon of Mr. Cowln may be, the fact that the city proposes to contest the titte will In {tself be a cloud, and no business man s likely to make tho purchase. Meanwhile the clty is no better off, the new ocourt house banks are caving in, the build- iog 1s llkely to be damaged, and the olty offices remain in an old rookery. There is one way out of the difficulty which is feasible, and that is to make an exchange that will glve to the commissloners an amount that will sat/sfy them and at the same time glve fo the city 182 feet of ground upon which it can build a clty hall at no distant day. THE CITY ELECTION. Ever since Boss Twoed and his corrapt gang were depored and driven from power by a general aprising of the tax- paying citizens regordless of party there has been & tendency in - mearly all the large oitles of the Uaited Statas to disre. gard party conventions for the purpose of eleoting honest and competont busi- ness men to muncipal offices, The usual method persued has been for leading tax- payers and business men to organize com- mitteos of safety and citizens' aesocia- tione, Public notice 1s then glven for mectings to discuss and eclect candidates and when the ckoles Ia finally ar- rived at after dus deliberatlon an appeal is made to the people of all classes to support the citlzens’ ticket. It is sali- ovident that the candidates put forward on such a ticket are not chosen from among boes politlelans,. The movement which has taken placa In Omaha this spring, under the pretensa that it was deslgned to put in the field a citizens’ ticket, cannot in any sense be regarded as a non-partisan affale. No asiociation of tax-payers representing the various elements among our voters has been or-; ganizad, No public meetings were held to proposs and dlecuss candidates. A petition was circulated by a few personal friends of Mr. James E. Boyd urging him to accept the pesition of mayer, andf as we are informed, numerous tignatures wera obtained by appeals that the city mus be saved from Hascall. Having nominated Mr. Boyd by petition a ratifi- catlon meating was held at the Academy of Music, and Mr. Boyd was declared duly nominated as a cltizens’ candidate. While It was glven out to the public that this was a apontaneous uprising, the con- duct of the managers of the ratification meeting would Indicats that machine politiclans wera behind the screen to guide the non-partlsan citizens. The meeting was called to order on double- quick standard tims, Within twenty minates Mr. Boyd was not enly ratified and notified, but his epeech of acoeptance was duly delivered. The curtain was ruog down and the lights were turned off before Pat Ford’s brass band could get there to play “Hail to the Chief.” Nowfit strikes us that there was alto- gether too much method, design and ma- chinery in this so-called citizsns’ nomina- tlon. Therais somsthing rather ingeni- ous in nominatlng candldates by petlition, and there I3 esomething very novel ia nominating a leading politiclan like Mr. Boyd to head a non-part’san tlcket, It 1s an assumption on ths one hand that a terrible emergency exists, and that Me, Boyd is the only man in Omaha compo- tent to fll the position of mayor. On the other hand there is a refreshing greennees exhibited on the part of re- publicans in} falling in to sucha tiap. Hundreds of themhave put their names to the petltion because they were frightened by the Hascall bugbear, and because they are in the habit of signing any petition that may come along. They would have signed a petltion asking President Cleve- land to sand Mr, Boyd ss mlnister ple- nipoteniiary to England just as readily as they would bave signed a petition praying that Mr, Coutant be rotained as postmister of Omahsa, Very few men in thess days refuse to sign any petltion. For our part wo are not disposed to endorse the peculiar tactics displayed at tho Boyd benefit at the Academy. If the rapub- licans of Omaha nominate Mr. Haseall, or some equally objectionable man, it will be time enough for republicans In the inter- est of good government to range them- selves with the followers of the boss dem- ocrat who prides himself on being the chairman of the Nebraska delsgation to the na'ional conveation that nominated Cleveland. And that vory numerous class of citlzens known s werklogmen, who cntirely ignored In this citizany’ movement, may have a word or two to ssy before they commit them- selves to Mr. Boyd, Perhaps they may have a candidite whom they would prefer, and whom other citizens and tax- payers can consistently support, While the Bre has always advocated good gov- ernment and deprecated pariisan bigotry in local elections, we do not see any reason for boosting a politician int> the mayor's offica on & non-partisan platform, aro Dearn bas made a stand-off in the I1li- nois legislatare. The death of Sanator Bridges, a democrat, offsets the death of Representative Logan, a republican, and once mora the leglalature Is a tie on joint ballot. The election of United States senator s further off than ever, SecrETARY MAaY, of the democratic state central committee, is now placed In the posttion of an editor, who does not return avy rejected contributions unless accompanied by the requlsite stamps, Applicants for office, who have filed thelr papers with Mr, May, will pleasa take notloe of this fact. —— TaE postmaster of Storm Lake, Iowa, & few days ago thought It was time for dis- sppearing, and he has accordingly made room for one of the several thousand of. fice-seekers in Iowa. His deficlency smounts to §2,600, and his hiding-place has not yet been discovered, He was a razes] who did not wait to be turaed oat. — Tue raport that the Mormon authori- ties are about to lssuo a proslamation abregating the *‘divine law” of polygamy has caused the Deseres News, the church organ, to loudly protes: sgainst any such step belng taken, The News evidently fears that the abandoument of polygamy would result in the downfall of the church, and iu this it is very likely cor- reet, for polygamy has been the man support of Mormoniem for many years. There {8 no question but what the Mor mops are divided on the question of . THE DAILY BEE--SATURDAY MARCH 21, 1885 — e ———— ———————— e ——————————— polygamy. The indleations are that the majority favor its belng done away with, and that the result will be acsomplished in the near future scems now to be very likely. Meantime let the prosecations continne o that the polygamists can be thoroughly convincad that the govern- ment means business, It I8 plain to be seea that the resent prosecutions and convictions are having » salatary effect. SECRETARY MaN appointment of Eugene Higglns as chief of the appoint ment division of the {ressury department has brought out contiderable adverse oriticism. Tn the first place he displaced an efficlent, indast:ions and competent official, who had rlzen to the position from tho lowest geade of clerkshlp by elow promotton daring twenty-two years of falthful servlce. The removal of such a man le hardly consistent with the civil service text of President Cleveland as Iaid down In his inaugoral message. In the next place Higglns is not very warmly endorsed by his homspapers in Baltimore. He is sald to bo no frisnd of the clvil servica reform, but a fair representative of the spoils aystem., His appointment was eecured by Senator Gorman, and it has created no little atir in Baltimore and eleowhere among the civil service reform- ers A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR. The recent Iynching of s man and a woman in Clay county was & wost die- graceful affafr, snd the perpetrators should be brought to justice. Wkile 1t may be true that Mrs Taylor and her brother, Tom Jones, were ‘‘hard citl- zens,” and were suspected of numerous crimes committed In their vicinity dur- ing the past ten years, yet they were never convicted of any of thete offenses. It may be true also that the farmer Roberts was killed by Mrs. Taylor's sons, who are mere boys, and that they wera instigated to commit the crime by thelr mother, but all this has not been proven. Theact of the vigllantes In order- ing Mrs. Taylor and Jones toleave the country with'n thirty days was in i'self an unlawfal procesding, and when they hung them because they did “mnot leave, and that, too, without any trlal what- ever, but merely on “‘general principles” they committed a crime equal to any that hed ever been perpetrated by the victims or avy of their relatives, The two al- leged murderers of Farmer Roberts are in jall, and If permitied to live they will be tried, and if found geilty will be pun- iched. It is not charged that Mrs. Taylor or Jones were murderere, but acces3ories, as we understand it, and they were cer- tainly entitled to trial upon any charge made sg s’ them, They wera apparent- ly not afraid cf any such proceeding, otherwiee they would have left the coun- try. They could easily have been arrested and tried. We have failed 80 far to discover one redeeming feature in this outrageous lynching affair. There are occaslonally Jynchings which seem justifiable, but the Clay county hanging was far from being one of that character. The lynching of a man I8 bad enough, but the hanging of & woman is much worse, and we know of no similar instance of cruelty except theone that ocourred in Colorado about a year ago, when a man named Cuddigan and his wife were hung by a mob for having so brutally treated an orphan glrl in their care that she died. Whils the hanging of the man was not generally found fault with, the lyaching cf the woman was severely condemned. Inthe Nebrsska case the man and womau were not charged with being the principals in the murder, bui were hung simply because they were ©hard citizens.” The community in which Iynchers have wmo litide regard for the principles of justice and humanity as they have in {Clay county must indeed bs a dangerous locality for eny man to live in Should a person happen to incur their enmity he s liable at any moment to be swung off into eteraity from a bridge beam or the limb of a tree, without be- ing given an opportunity of even saylog his prayers. Tha authoriiiss and re- spectable peopls of Clay county owe it to themselves aud to the state o have the lynchers arrested and punished, but we venture to sy that at pres- ent a qulet reign of terror prevalls in that county 80 that no one will dars to volunteer to move in the matter for fear of being lynched. Lynchers, who have once dyed their hands in human blood, and that, too, ap- parently without justifiable cause, would not hesitato to commit'other murders in order to protect themaelves from the ven- goance of the law. Thisls a case In which thegovernor should specially inter- esthimself, and the first step to be taken is to offer the usual rewards for the arrest of the murdercrs, Let there be a reward offered for the ‘arrest and conviction of each one of the thirty or forty men en- goged In the dastardly deed. e— BecRETARY LAMAR not only sustained Senator Van Wyck In his exposure of Me. Teller's crookednoss in the *“Back- bone'’ business, but he bas slnce given the ex-secretary of the Interior another blow. In the ‘“‘backbone” matter Secre- tary Lamar prevented the itsuance of the remaiving patents, and he hss since stopped the executlon of Teller's order to throw open the Crow Creek reserva- tion. This order was made In the last days of the admlinistration, and the effect was to open this tract in the central part of Dakota to & horde of land grabbers who are trying to take away from these cly- ilized Winnebago Indians the farms which for twenty years they have cultivated, Teller's brother {s one of the men who expected to profit by this grab, Secretary Lamar's actlon was due to the efforts of the Indisn Rights aesocia- tion, The clalm of this aesoclation in ragard to the Crow Oreck reservation Is that it is a treaty reservation, that is, a reservation secared by {reaty and not reating on mere executlve order;,conee- quently that it cannot bs opened to sat- tlement by exceutive order. The whole matter was arcanged seorotly, and with. out the knowledge of the Indlsn com- missfoner. Senator Dawes regirds the action a8 wrong, and s ‘‘profoundly in- dignant,” according to Mr. Welsh, who says foriherin a private letter: The Yanctonnias Indlans who occupy this raervation are among the most clvil- 1z:d and peaceful Indians that I know. The government has always treated them upon the supposition that they were in corporated with tho other Sicux living on the west branch of the Mistouri and hold ing the'r reservation by the same title, We have placed our briefs on the legal points of the question in Senator Dawes hands, by whom it is highly commended. S0 soon as our facts are all clear we will present & memorial to Mr, Cleveland and Mr. Lamar, OTHER LANDS THAN OURS, While the pacific utterancas of the czar and the assurances ¢f Mr. Gladstone have sllayed apprehensions of a war be- tween Russia and Eogland, tho dispute over the Afghan border is by no means msttled. The deslgn of Ruseia to establish 8 ‘“ecientlfic feontier” ia Contral Asla {8 not relinquished, nor s thore the least reason for balisviag that the mors imme- diate purpore—namely, the seizure of Herat—has been abandoned. The Rus- slaps have not agreed to withdraw from the positions they occupy, nor has Great the home department; and he served as a member of the Royal Commission on Friendly Socletiss, When ths conserva- tives agaln came into office in February, 1874, Sir Michael Hicks Beach wae appoiat.d chiof secrotary for Ireland. Un taking thatcffice he was aworn on the privy coancil, and in 1877 he was admit ted to a seat [u the cablnet. In Februa. ry, 1878, he was nominated secretary of state for lhe colonies, In the place ol Lord Carnarvon, who had resigned in conseqence of a dlfference with his col leagues on the eastern question, The news from Guatemala grows dai'y more interesting, Important internation- al complicatlons atfectiog the attitade of Mexlco towards Centra! Amerlca may arlse, The government of the United States will not be an uninterested specta- tor, as the Intereste of our citizens may require protection iavolying mcra or less participation In a frlendly way in an am- ieable sottlement of exlsting dif:rencas. Intelligent parties here, familiar with the conditton of affairs in Guatemala, ex- press the opinfon that Barrios s simply trying to carry out the eame sort of schems for a coxfoderation of the Cen- tral American republics that Bolivia as pired to do In South Americy. 1t is sald that a majority, if not all, of the Cen‘ral American republics two years ago virtu- ally agreed to an autonomy, composed of the soveral states under one name. The jeslousfes and political smbitions of the varlous aspleants for the chlef maglatrate- ship of the proposed natlon hos resulted in a condition of affiles that promises well for troubls betwoen the rival sy rants for power, as well as between Gua- teraala and Mexico. There secms to be no doubt that Bariios Is prapsring for the business of war. He has money and re- tources available for the parpose. For two years, it fs said, he has boen accu- mu'ating materlal in tha way ef Krupp guns and Romington rifles. Britain coneented to thelr occupatlon of those positions. In brlef, nothing has been done except to enter into a mutual agreoment to let matters rest in statu quo until the boundary commission shall have time to devise a basls of settlement, if that shall prove to be possible. In other words, there is a truce of uncerialn dura- tlon, & postponement of the struggle, a delay, which may be long or short,accord- Ing to clrcums'ances, At this distancs the history of the af- falr seems to be this: Great Britain’s difticultles in the Soudan put Mr. Giad- stone’s'government in peril at home, and Russla thought the tlme an opportune oneat which to make an important step forward in her march upon Indla, The alarm thus created enabled Mr. Glad- stone toracover h's seat in the saddle. By prompt and vigorous action in the onst, he diverted attention from the blunders and disastarsin Africa and se- cured the renewal of that support which had nearly failed him, It epeedily became evident that both in the cabinet and in the field the British government wa3 much s'ronger than the Russlans had expested it to be. For them to go on with what they had under- taken would Involve Immediate war, with all the advantages againet them. Thelr available forca was overmatched by that of the British aud the'r allies. The occasion was less upportane than had been hoped, and for the success of Russian plans it was necossary to secure o postponement of the cris's. The truce was agreed upon, and matters are at rest for the present. That secems to be literally all there s of the so-called adjustment, and it is dif- ficult to think that the Britieh have galn- ed anything by such diplomacy. They were in position to precipitate the strug- gle with every advantage on their side; they have postponed it in face of the cer- tainty that Russia will patiently labor to reveree thls situation and will bring on the struggle whenever the advantage shall saem {o lie clearly with her arms, That may be next week or next yeer, or years hence, as circumstances sha'l de- termine; but there can be no greater misuse of terms than is fnvolved i speaking of the temporary truce as a set- tloment of the question between the two emplres, The proposed tour of tho Princs of Wales turough Ireland has causada great deal of nervousaees among the English authorities, This is forcibly shown in the fact that tho recent proclamation for which Paraell holds himself responsible is declared freasonable. The papar refer- red to is, more than less, a definition of the Irish attitude towsrd the Prince. 1* is rather an fmpertinent production. and illustrates the uncertainty felt by both sides, as to what is best; but as to trea- son, it seems a very slight thing to found 89 serl us a charge on. 1f a conflict, such as seems to be Inangurated, is to bs waged over the princa's visit, it will do no gcod.

But San Salvador, Costa Rica and Nicar- agua, which contains between them no‘ more than 900,000 tnhabltants, are dls- posed to ba recalcitrant even to a sturdy fight for their continued independence. Perhaps the treaty which was recently proposed between Nicaraugua and the United States has: beea 1the actuating cause of Presldent Bartios' declslou to employ coercion In carsying outhis plans. Bat it fs still a qoestion whether the frlends of serarate governments may not find themselves powerful enough to reslet the unlon which hos been pro- claimed. According to all the probabilitles, a monarchical form of goverament will ba established In the newv Congo s‘ate, and it will be called the kingdom of Congo. Whether King Leop~1d of Belgitm will assume the additional title of the king of Congo, or call to the throne a prince of his family, is not yet known. The official crgan of the International associatfon reports that the admin- istration of the Congo will atill be located in Bruasele, and will be represented in Africa by & viceroy or governor general 1t udds that after Mr. Stanley publishes his book on the Congo, now nearly ready for the press, it Is expscted that ho will raturn to Africa as governor general of the new state, and that Sic ¥rancis de Winton, now in charge there, will return home.

Wall Street News, There was another Cincinnatl riot the other day, A young man who had lost about $10,000 on a wheat speculation went for a broker with: “Seo here, didn't you siy that wheat was a3 low &8 it cou'd go?” *Oh, yes.” **And that it was a good time to buy?’ “Certainly.” ““And that you'd adviee any one de- sirous of apeculating to invest in wheat! ““I balisve that was my advice.’ ““Well, sir, I bought wheat, on your ad- vice, and am $10,000 out of posket, as you kaow,” “Exactly.” “‘But_wnat are you goicg to do about it!” howled the victim. “‘The same s I always do,” was the placid answee, I alwags advise drop- ping wheat, and going into onts!” HEMORRHO 1DS character that calls for fcrbearance and confidence. 1f the prince is, by his visit, to conclliate the good will of the Irish people, he must trust them and within proper llmlits fraternize with them, if he goea there merely to be entertained by the castle authorities and to dance wlth the aristocrarcy, he will only widen the breach between the people and the gov- ernment. The real contest, as between Eagland and Ireland, iv with the masses of the Irish people. If this is to ba moillfied the people must bs reached and concili: ated. ltis doubtful whether, at best, the prince’s visit would do anything to this end. Bat it certalnly will not unless it can be made to reach the masses. It 1s difficult to sse how this can be done. He cannot mingle amopg the people, Counsiderations of afgnity and pradence prevent this, He cannot con- fer with their leaders, because he s really not the governing power. No repre- sentations made to him would nece: rlly have much Influence with the gov- ernment.
