WE ate very sorry that Mr. Boyd has sush a poor oplnion of Rosewater. He fosls sure that he could have been U. S. senator if it had not been for Rosewatez, but he thinks ho may be ablo to fix him when he decldes to run for congress. M. Boyd's letter ls characteristle of tho man, Ttisall full of bombast about his *“honest intentions.” But the course he has pursued in trying to bo mayor and U. S. senator horeafter indloates that ho is not above the average politician. Warn the solid democratic vote, the mugwamps, the gamblors, Ed. Walsh, Jobn Qainn, Juck Nogent, the Buckingham theatro, Charley Green, tho plous and moral people, and the B. & M. rallroad all pooled in his favor, Mr. James E. Boyd ought to have a walk away. Tus republican candidates for the city council are unexceptional men. Chas. F. Goodman Is one of our mosi success— fal business men; Michael Lise is a thrif- ty and induetrlous workingman who is respected and highly commended by ev- erybody that knowa him; Adolph Bur- mester 1s one of our oldest citizens, a man of character and stability; G. M. Hitcheock i3 a ta'ented young man and one of our heaviest proyerty owners; J. B. Redtield has al ways borne the reputa- tion of an upright man, above reproach. He s one of the old republican guard, a have not yet sesn the committee. Hastily and truly your friend, J. E. Bovo. MR. BOYD IN A NEW ROLE. Mr. James E. Boyd ought to join Bar- num’s clrcus. As a politieal acrobat he has no equal this side of Bridgeport. 1Te is not only a ground and lotty tumbler, but an excellent juggler. Nothing like his feats of political double-back-action someraaults have ever been seen in this state, and we hope never will be again. Having conceived the scheme of becom- -ng a second Grover Cleveland, he sct the machinery in motion and put up the citi- zens’ mouse-trap under the protense of non-partlssn municipal reform. At the same time he had his pi ns all set to cap- ture the democratlc nomination without which he would not evea have thought of rauning. To make things appear epontaneous Mr. Boyd went awsy from home, whilo his trappers and decoys wera circulating that petition among republicans, When he returned ho had himself walted upon by the decoyod citizens and condessended, after groat pressure, to become the citl ens candidate. Then he turned In with all hls might and main to capture the democratic primaries, to nominate hlm- self by acclamatlon, In this effort he enlisted cvery democrat who wants federal oflice, and such ropublicans and workingmen as Hascall, Ed. Walsh and John Quion, Hascall drove In the pick- ots all along the line, while Walsh and veteran of the unlon army and 2 man who is thoroughly famillar with all the affaira of this clty and county; Mr, Bailey is a brick manufacturer, an employer and friend of labor and a man who enjoys the popular confidence and esteem, Tre democratic statesmen of Texas evidently think that it is high time the slmon-pure democratio doctrine, that to the victors belong the spoils, should be enforcad, and that clvil service should be placed on the shelf. The Lone Star state, which glories in the fact that it gave Cleveland 132,000 majority, de- mande through its seoators, Coke and Morey, that the president shull discharge all republican officials In Texas, and an olt!matum to that effect has been pre- sented to Mr. Oleveland, The Texas senators propose furthermore to dlctate the federal appointments in order to re- ward thelr own personal adherents. This is slmply carrying out the old ides of machine politics, Whether Grover Cleveland will throw clvil service to the winds and comply with the demand of the Texas patriots remalns to be seen. Should he refuse, one would naturally ask what the democratic Flannagans of Texas are going to do about it! The probabillty fs, however, that the demo- crats all along the ltne will upite in fore {ug the Issue, and if Cleveland continues to withstand the pressure of the hungry, tmpatient aud avgry office seekers and spolls-hunters, he will certalnly earn for himself the distinction of belog a man of nerve and Independence, In that event, bowever, life will be made & burden for him, Quinn st up a boom among the workingmen, The scheme operated like a8 charm so far as the democrats were concerned, but the trap falled to work upon the workingmen, Then the great juggler opened a lterary bureau. He took an inventory of all the leading republicans who had been roped Into signing the petition, and ap- pealed to them about as follows: My Deag FrigNn:—You have forced me, against my personal wishes and desires, to ac- cept the nomination for mayor. Now, I shall depend upon you to use your personal influence to have me elected. Call aud see me personally, Yours truly, &e.” These letters are expecied to have their deslred effect of coure. They are addressed mainly to republican business wen, What a neat farce this s and how cubningly the machine 1s put In motlon to elect the spontaneous candidate, This is only one part of Boyd's double-back actlon cembination, While the democrats are appealed to for wolld support, republican office holders and office-seekers have been roped In on pledges that they are to have their shere of Boyd's pork, This makes the jug- glery quite amusing, Here we have Con, Gallagher ond three or four other demo- orats working ltke nallers for Boyd with a view to getting the postoffice and the marshalship, while Bierbower feels con- fident that Boyd and miller will never distarb him, and Mr, Coutant remalns serene in his postofice and has every as- surance that he will serve out his time, Then we have Jack Galllgan, who ex- pecta to be chlef of the fire department, workiog might and main for Boyd, while John Butler, who has the promise of THE DAILY BEE--TUFSDAY APRIL 1885 7y e E——— Boyd for re-appolntment, s also dolng all he can for the great mcrobat. Mr. Boyd can keep all his conflicting promises we aro at a loss to comprehend. 1t Is desperate game, worthy only of & master in political jugglery and trickery. THE CROW RESERVATION, Fully two thousand settlers have entered the Crow Creek reservation In Dakota with the expectation of securing homesteads. They were led to believe that the reservation would be opened for sottlement early In the spring, as Secre tary Teller on Fobruary 27th issued an order to that efloct. Thenew commissioner of the land department, Mr. Atkins, how- ever, has abrogated Teller's order, upon the ground that the reservation Is pro- tected and secured to the Indians by the foux treaty of 1868, which treaty Teller aimed was not operative because the Crow lands are on the east slde of the Missouri river. Commissloner Atkins virtuallyholds that Teller’s technicality {s a stralned construction of the treaty, and that no one up to last February ever maintained that the treaty did not apply to the Crow Creck resorya- tion, Mr, Atkins does not hesitate to characterize Teller's action as natlona lighwaymanship and piracy, and as yot wehave seen no defense on the part of Toller or any of his frlends. 1t was no doubt an outrage upon the Indlans, and 1t was in perfect keeplng with Secretary Teller's course. It has boeen charged that In this care he was personally In- terested in having thls reservation opened, and that it was intended toa certain extent to benefit a syndlcate of land-grabbers. Whether this s true er not does not make any materlal differenco i€ 1t was a wrong to deprive the Indians of thelr lands for honest settlers. Mr. Atkins has been sustained by President Cleveland, who, it will be remembered, emphatically stated in his Inaugural mes- sage that the rights of the Indlans ehould not only be protected but that thelr in- terests should be promoted, and justice should be donethem, ‘While Teller’s order handed attempt to ‘commit an outrage upon the Crows, It bhas also been the means of working an In- justice upon honest settlers who have tlocked upon the reservation to make en- trles of the land, Many of these people have disposed of thelr homer, and have gone to considerable expense to reach the promised land with their families, their household goods, their live stock, and farming implements. Thoy have squatted upon the land to walt for the opening day upon which they were to make their entries, and now comes the order that the reservation will not be thrown open, and they must vacate, as they are nothing more than trespassers. They will undoubtedly be overwhelmed with disappointment, and thelrwrath will be raised not so much againat the prasent admlnistration as against Mr. Tel- ler, whose order has led them into all this trouble. Under the clrcumstances it would be natural for many of them to try to remalp, and, notwithstanding the opinion of Commissloner Atkins to the contrary, some conslderable difficulty may be experienced In removing them. It ceriainly is an unfortunate affalr, and was a high- a if it could be settled In some way satis- factory to the Indians so that the settlers, many of whom have gone on and made improvements could remain thers It strikes us that that would be the proper course, inasmuch as an Injustice has been done to both the Indians and the whites. CONTEMPTIBLE, Loes than a week ago the support o the Times-Dispatel was offered to Mr, Murphy on condition that his friends would sabscribe for fifteen hundred dol- lars of newspaper stock. The offer was declined with thanks. A deal was de with Boyd for the promise of a land office appointment and a round sum of money. And now the blackmailing sheet is abus- ing Murphy and lauding Boyd to the skles, Whila Mr, Boyd Is welcome to all the support he can get from working- men through his sabsidized mud swivel the course of that concern fn villifylng and slandering Mr. Marphy Is contempt. tblo and infamous, As wiLL be seen by a alspatch from Senator Van Wyck, publlshed in this is- sue of Tur Beg, the opening of the San- tee Sloux reservation for settlement will not prove such a big land bonanza as people have been led to believe by rail- road advertisements, which have stated that the reservation contains 120,000 acres, It Is true that the reservatlon does embrace that number of acres, but it is also & fact, which the rallroad adver- tlsements fail to mention, that only about 35,000 acres will be subject to entry by the whites, as the allotment to the Indlans will cover about 85,000 acees, Now 35,000 acres will only provide 219 persons with farma of 160 acres each, Itis ssfe to say that there are at least 1,000 persons now in the Immediate vi- clnity of the reservation who are walting for the opening day to secure these lands, while thoueands from a distance are pre- paring to go there with the expectation of making entries. It will be scen that the land will not meet the demand of those already on the ground, and hence many will be dissppolnted. It is but propor that these facts should be made known, as many persons may thus be ved from the expense of making a use- less step. Nevertheless there will be a large number of landseckers who will take their chances, even though they know that they are very likely to be dis- appointed, Tue new minister to Chilf, Willlam R, Roberts, issald to be the Roberts who was 80 prominent in the Fenian Invasion of Canada in 186, and was srrested by the United States authorities as one of {ta loaders. The appolntment, there- s generally held to be one of question. able propriety, on the ground that his disregard for International law as exhib. ited on that occaslon unfits him for the porltion of a foreign diplomat. Leaving aside other charges—one of which ls that s president of *‘The Irish Republlc,” he permitted bonds cf that organlzation to b sold to poor servant girls, woll know- ing them to be worthless—we can hardly see how Mr. Roberts’ disregard of Inter. national law, in his capacity of a Fenlan leader, 18 any greater than can bo raised sainst other appointees, who disregarded all laws and became traltors to the na- tlonal government and attempted to overthrow it. Tae people of Omaha will be called upon to-day to woto $100,000 in bonds for the parpose of taking up onr floating indebtedness, This indebtedness includes judgments agalnst the clty for in- Workingmen, Do Your Duty, How | fore, of Mr, Roberts as minlater to Chill | To the Editor of the Brw. Circumstances over which I have no control prevented mo from attending the workingmen’s meeting on Saturday ove- ning and wishing to express my opinion on the politieal situation which at prosent is discussed so freely In this city, I hope you will give my lotter spase In your col umns, Six years ago this spring Mr. Boyd was elected to the councll from the sixth ward and the citizens of thls ward will bear me out in saying that he dld very little for that word, Two years later Mr. Boyd was a candldate for mayor and I worked and voted for his electlon, for T was under the Impression on account of his buslness (ualifications that he would make a good man for this position. I was sadly mistaken on that point, as his administeation of affaira will show. The low dives throughout the city flourlshed under his rule; thleves and thugs did just as they had a mind to, and crime waa rampant throughout the city, We tho workingmen of this city want it per. fectly understood that we are not opposing Mr, Boyd for any other resson than juries to persons, damages by reason of changes of grade, and excess on the cost of grading over the origlnal estlmates It is Important that these bonds should be voted. They draw only G per cent Interont, and probably can ba sold ata premium, whilo judgments against the clty draw from 7 to 10 per cent. The voting of the bends Is therefore a measure of economy. 1f they are not voted it will prove a bar to further public improvements to ay extent, and for thoss we do make we shall bo compolled to pay from 10 to 20 per cent more than if we had the cash. This will enable contractors to make their bidson acash basis,and we shall according- ly got lower bids. It Is the intersat of the workingmen as well as of all other tax-. payers to have these bonds carried, and it is hoped, therefore, that mno one will vote against the proposition. ONE of the most prolific inventors ot this country is Mr, 8. C. Mendenhall, of Richmond, Ind. Twenty-slx patents were recently irsued to him in a single woek, the final fees on which amounted to §260. This is the largest final fae ever paid Into the patent oftice by one paten- tee, The inventlons covered by thess patents relate principally to anti-friction caetings for furniture, wheels for street cars, skate rollers, otc, Mr. Mendenhall 15 sald to be one of the oldest living In- ventors known to the patent oflice. His firat patent is numbered 1,893, and his last one 314,971, making over 300,000 patents between his first and last patents. The numbersshow the wonderful pro- gressof inventlons in this country during the lifetime of a single inventor. Tae Nevada anti-ireating law is the subject of conslderable criticism through- out the country. Tt is generally consid- ered a blow at bar-room hangers-on who are always on hand to accept an invitation to drink, Whatever the motive cf the law msy be it will be a dead-letter. Ne- bragka has had such & law for over two years, and 1t has never been enforced and never will be. Such legislation is not only absurd, but It {s a waste of time, and it is difficult to see what particular objsct would bo gained by the enforcement of such a law. THERE is 8 good deal of mallce and personal spite In the [epublican’s as- saults on Mr. Specht, The whole animus of these asraults, we are assured by re- liable parttes, springs from the fact that Specht refuted to vote for the employ- ment of a certaln teacher that had failed In her examination. In refusing to vote for Incompetent teachers Mr. Specht only dlscharged his duty, There have been al- together to much influenceand pressore brought to bear upon the echool board In behalf of parties who are unfit to teach. ONE of the first things the city counclt flagatone crosswalks on the strects that are paved with the rough and sharp- pointed Sioux Falle geanlte. This should be dono at least on I¥nam strect. The crossings in their present condition are palnful to perons wearlng shoes with thin wolos, and this Is particularly the case with ladles, The expense of this much noeded improvement will not be very ought to do is to provide for the lrying of [? simply that ho id not perform his duty during his Jate administratlon of this clty’s affairs, The mejority of us have homes and families in this city, and we are deeply intereeted in its welfaro and prosperity, and during this gentleman’s administration he branded the workln men of this city throughout the land a: lawless mob,and his cowardly act ofbring- ing both stato and national troops to this city without any reason whatsoover was an outrage that we will never forget. If there was a riotin this city and Mr. Boyd called on the workingmen for as- sistance to suprees it he would have hun- dreds of willing hands that would spring forward at hls call, and with our lives we would protect this city and its inter- ests from any vlolence whatsoever. Workingmen, 1 call on youlrrespective of party to do your duty, take the blot from your name by giving this man an overwhelmlng defeat at the polls on Tuesday next give him to understand that he cannot brand you with impunity, glve him to understand that he cannot buy your votes for a dollar & head and a drink of whisky, as hls henchmen say, let him know that the working- men of Omaha are not for sale and that we vote for princlple and not for party. I will briefly refer to the home he made deeolate, to the wife he made a widow, and to the children he made orphans, by the cowardly action of him and his asso- ciates; the crowd of hoodlums that ho brought to this city were bound to earn thelr pay by murdering an old and un- oftending citizen; was there any effort on the part of the authorities to bring the parties to account who committed this foul crime agaivst law and order! No, gentlemen, but to the best of their abil- ity they tried to ecreen them from justice byarreztingand Indlcting few worklngmen I will now ask the republicans of this city 1f thero is no man in their ranks fit to ill the execative chair except the boes demoorat of the etate? Are you golng to allow Boyd. Miller & Co. to pull the wool over your eyes with thelr citizens’ ticket? Are you, the republicans of this city, going to admit the fact to your brethren throughout the state that this city s getting tco large for you to gov- ern, and that yon have to call to your as sistance Mr. Boyd, and beg of him to take it in his hands? that it he d~es not come to your agsistance you are lost? I say we have a man in this city qualified in overy way to fill that position. That man s P. F. Murphy, an honest, up- right cltizen; a man who has the confi- dence and reepact of both rich and poor; a man whoee hands are clean ana no man can deny it; a man who, if therc was any dlsturbance in this city to-morrow, would not be afrald to place himself at the head of his men and do his sworn duty, without fear or favor; a man who by his sound judgement and good appolnt- ments has brought this city from a state of lawlessness to Its present standard of peace and prosperity, Rapablicans do your dufy by the man you have nominated and yoa will not re- pent it. Murphy will devote bis time to the duties of his office and there will be no pro tem candidate, Our city aflairs under his management will be in eafe hends; he has an able and efficient mar- shal; our police force is o good ehape and should uot be disturbed. The man that works for Thomes Cummings on the police force will not be either a drunkard, a coward, a pimp, or a loafer; they will have to *ce the mark while under his control and do their duty to the city and its cit!zens, In concluston I wish to an- swer the inquiry made by the reporter of in tho local columps of Friday ovening's paper, when he wanted to know from that lightning-lined loui-monthed orator what was the color of them pump- kin pullers from Wahoo, I refer that gentloman to Holdredge, Boyd & Uo., and all that I kaow abont their color is that their hands are red with ths blood of a defenceless old man, and that their hearts were Dlack with cowardice and mal- fce and their trips to Omaha In the in- heavy, and the work should be done at once, Tur Republican takes great pleasurs in assurlog Its patrons that Mr, Boyd ls the preferred candidate of the gamblers.

Yours truly, WiLttay MuLHALL, ——— SHOT BY MASKED ROBBERS, A Peonnsylvania Farmer IRRobbed and Maurdered at Midnight, Sallsbury township, Lancaster county, Pa., is terribly exclied over one of the moet dastardly crimes ever committed in that district, The robbery and murder— for such it proved—took place at the quiet country farmhouse of Edward Lin- ville, on Sunday night, near Pequea church, geveral miles northwest of White Horeo. The locality had often been aroused by the daring highway robberles and assaults of the Buzzard band of out. laws, but the tragedy of last night was never before equalled, Mr. Linvllle lived with & maiden sfster, and it was common- fore he had time to say more than ask the question what they wanted one of the robbers fired his revolver at Mr. Linville, the ball penetrating his abdomen., Mr. Linville fell forward on his face crylng, “My God, you have shot me.” Just then his rister, who had not been awak ened by the entrance of the thieves arose and rashed out to the defense of her brother, One of the robbers then fired at her, but missed her and the ball en tored the prostrated form of Mr. Linville, crashing through his ribs, Miss Linville was then rudoly eclzed and pushed back into her room, one of the thieves threatoning to send her soul to heaven If she made any ontery or re- slstance. The lady was nearly overcome with fear, and she fainted on the floor, from which she was raised and threatened with [netant death if she dld not roveal the hiding place of their gold. She pre tested that they had no money in the house. Ono of the robbers cocked his ro- volver and commenced countlng three, saying sho had just that many minutes to live ifshe did not tell. Then she heard the dying groans of her brother in the hallway. She motionod to a chest, and two of the robbers commenced raneack ing it, while the others stood guard, Miss Linville saya she thought she would drop over dead from excltement atone, The robbers succeeded in getting a small bag of money whon a barking cog on the outslde disturbed them. Then another nofso was heard, which so fright- ened the thieves that they imagined some one wes coming. One of tho robbors said, “Thie ie cash enough to pay for this job,” and the tirce men hurried out of the back door and departed. Miss Lin- ville found her brother in a pool of blood but ehe galned sufliclent strength to arouse the nearest nelghbors, who brought medical ald, but the wounded men did not rally and dled yesterday from intern al hemorrhage. e ASOUT WALKIN mendation CUoncerning Gait, w8, Place, and Other Matters, Herald of Health, Every healthy person, man or woman, tlmo to walk six to twelve miles a day at least, and doable that when gradually brought np to it.
