THE BEE PUBLISHING CO., Props, £ ROSEWATER, Eprron Fitoh, Manager D Olroulation, .,‘65‘-; 488'Omahs, .0 | Tae republicans are beglnniog to ad- mire Grover Cleveland for the mistakes ho has made. Tar total assossod valuation of real eatate in New York olty is $1,175,052,- 885, This Is a net increass of §55,000,- 000 over last year, Tur Republican assures lts readers that it 1s no longer an organ, A great many people have for some time regarded 1t enn ** what-la-1t.” e Tue clrous materially increased Omaha's population for a few hours, It Is hoped that the cenrus takers have permitted none of the country folks to escape. Tae number of buslness failures has steadily decrensed durlng the last three weeks., This is a healthy indication. It shows that buslness throughout the country at present s In a proaperous con- ditlon, Tue new law prohibiting tho importa- tion of contract labor is belng twisted so a8 to exclude almost every kind of immi- grant that has in any way eigned a con- tract before starting for thls country. It is a pity that it cannot be consirued so s to apply to the Mormon converts that continue to come to this country by the shipload. Oxe feature of the revision.of the Old Testament just completed strikes the Jewish Advocate as pecullar,—in fact remarkable. This is that ‘‘In translating & book the origlnal of which was written in Hebrew by Jewish poots and seere, no jnvltation was extended to a Jewlsh scholar, who surely might have been ex- pected to have superior qualifications for the work.” It is now clalmed that President Cloveland has in many instances been deliberately deceived by certain con- gresslonal delegations in regard to the qualifications of applicants for office, and the resalt ls that a number of unfit men have been appointed. This is notan unlikely statement, and it is the only plausible excuse that can be offered for the many mistakes that Mr, Cleveland haa mede, Tae forty young graduates of West point to-day were compelled to submit to the indignity of saluting Fi'z Huogh Lee, the ex-rebel general, who is himself a graduate of the military scademy. His appointment as one of the visitors to West Point was one of the greatest mis- takes that Cleveland has yet made. It I8 hopoed that none of the graduates will ever follow the example of Fitz Hugh Lee, and betray the government at whoze expense they have been educated. Tue St. Louls Qlobe-Dewocrat 1s pav- log the way for a fight against Presldent Oleveland’s nominatlons in the senate. Xt sags: *‘If he has made removals and appolntments which cannot be justified by his own theory of hls duty to the poople In that behalf, it is surely the privilege of the senate to remind him of his errors and to decline to approve them. That is the poeitlon which the senate will very likely assume in Decem- ber; and the republican majority 1 suffi- clently largs to maintain it against all posible pressure.” Iy lookirg arcund for a minister to CALIFORNIA DISAPPOINTED. The San Franclsco Call regrets that the bungling of two or three democratic office-neekers has lost to Callfornia the selectlon of & person 1o fill the fmportant position of minister to China. The pro- nounced antlpathy of the Californlans to the Chinete no doubt led the president to appoint a man from another state. '_l‘y_u Call 1s conslderably Irritated over the matter, and says: Tt is a matter of vital Importance to Cali- fornia that a man should be appointed as minister to China who is sound on the Chi- nese question, We have just got the Chinese blight partially under contrel, There are more arrivals than there ought to be, but the influx is small, compared to what It was, White men, with their tami- lies, are cuming to the state in num- bere, and in most cases are doing well, The dread of Chinese competition no longer keeps white people away, It is of vital im- portance that our present restriotion law shall remain in force, The courts have done what they could to weaken ita effect, but it i still doing agreat deal of good, If Pres ident Cloveland appoints a minister who con sents to its modification in the interest of the Chinese man-traders, he will mark a black day for himself and party. The entire American people are interested in this ques- tion. * * * Now, it we want to keep these Chiness raiders out, we must sond a representative to China who will uphold the American side of the question, The Chinese will take care of their side, There is no discourtesy in sending & minister who is true to the people he reprosents Other nations take care ot their interests in thisway. * * * It was hoped that the advent of the democrats to power would be accompanied byan infusion of American ideas into our foreign policy. It is a disappoint- ment, therefore, that two local politicans, even of theminor rank of Messrs, Wallace and McCoppin, should announce their con- version to the theory that duo respect to friendly nations requires us to send represen- tatives abroad who are in sympathy with the courts to which they may be accredited on the issues likely to come up for discussion, MORE STRIKES. The fron industry has again been para- lyzed, and many thousand workmen are thrown ont of employment. The genera] suspension of the iron mills of the coun- try ls the result of the dlsagreement over the scale for the coming year. The time expired on Sundsy, and as no under- standing was reached thke mlills shat down. The prospects for an adjustment of the differences between the Amalga- mated assoclation and the manufacturers are, to all appearances, not very encour- aging. The manufacturers at St. Louls, ‘Wheeling, Cleveland, Chicago, Younga- town, and at other points say they will not sign the new scale, some of them ia- sisting that too many conceesions have already been made. On ths other hand, the workmen refuse to make any addl- tlonal corcessions. The atrike hes now begun, but whether 1t will continue for any length of time remains to be seen. Both sides are determined, and unless conceesions are made the probabllity is that many of the mills will remain idle for some tlme. In the Mahoning valley, where ten thousand men are out of employment, there is considerable jub latlon over the success at Pittsburg, and it ls belleved ard hoped that the Mahonlng valley operators will slen the scale within a week., The men claim that the decline in the iron busi- ness is dus to the cutthroat competition among the manufacturers themselves. Having demorallzed buslneas, they wish to force the men to share the loss, for which they are not at all to blame. The offer made by the Amalgamated assocla- tion to accept a reduction of ten per cent was, they allege, all that could be asked or expected; hence thelr determination to stand out to the last rather than make any further concesslon. It {s unpleasant that this dissgreement should have come up just at time when trade and industry were elowly reviving. It was hoped that during this eeason, at leist, there would be no cccaslon for strikes. No marrer how many mistakes Grover Oleveland may make, there Is no good reason why heshould be insulted by any republican, eepecially in the manner adopted by R P. Clarkson, of the Des Molnes Register, and bis associates, to the number of fifteen, Immediately af- ter the electlon of Logan to the United States senate they signed and sent the following dispatch: Des Moises, Towa, May 10,—To 8, Grover Ohtns the a‘ministration concluded to vary the monctony of appointing rebele, and it acsordingly selected Col. Charles Denby, of Indlana, Col, Denby was not oxactly a rebel, but he was something worse, He was a copperhead—a traitor in the rear, e did not have the man- hood to enter the confederate service but he resigned hls commission In the upion srmy when Lincoln lssued his emanclpation proclamstion, and went home to denounce the blow that had been strack at slavery, the pet institutlon of the sonth and the cause of the war. This is the kind of a record that com- mends him to the adminietratlon, Tae rcquest of Mr. Vilas to Mr. Mcade, tho newly-appointed postmaster st Hszelhurst, Coplah county, Mississ- 1ppi, to reslgn, has caused great indigna- tlon among the murderers of Prentice Mathowe. Congressman Barksdale, in whoss distrlet Copiah is located, and who urged Meade's sppcintment, has not only notified him not to reeign, but bas called upon the president to suspend action til Moade s served with the specifica- tlons of the charge against him, The Coplah murderers now have the lmpu- dence to eay that the killing of Mathews was a political necsesity. 1t is prodicted that Meede will not resign. I* the dem- ocrats can afford to have him remain, the republicans can ttand it, We hope that the adminlstration will keep cn wakiog such appolntments, They are the very best kind of amwmunition for the next wepublican campaign, Cloveland, Washiogton: The republicana of Towa send compliments to your excellency, and congratulate you on the benificent results of your dispatch to Illinols: Send any one but Logan! Thank God the repuklicans of our sister stato delight to honor the man who will beat you in 1888, The leading republican papers of Iowa have severely criticlsed this rude act on the part cf Clarkson, and denounced it as a pergonal ingult, It was entirely un- called for, even had Mr, Cleveland sent a dispatch to Illinols, as stated in the above telegram, but it now appears that the president did not send a dispatch to I)li- nois, and neverin any way expressed the sentiment attributed to him. These who know Clarkeon are not surprised at hls conduct, Having worn the St. John matter threadbare, Mr, Clarkson sought, throvgh his Insulting dlspatch, to keep himself before the public, and add to his notorfety. But hemade a great mistake. His attempted leadership of the republi cans In Towa bas done the party no good, and the best men among the republicans are beglnnlog to find him cu! and are repudiating him as & leader, What the republican party in Iowa needs more then anythivg elee is a different leader- ship. THE story of the murderous man'ac on a railway traln from Kaneas City to Chi- osgo will be read with deep interest. It would s:em that the railwsy officlale were negligent in allowing thls man to proceed on bis journey from Kansas C.ty, He startzd from Denver and ba fore reaching Kantas City he bagsn to THE DAILY BEE--TUESDAY JUNE 2, 1885. exhiblt unmistakeable signa'of violent In- sanlty, From the Kanses City Journal ot Sunday mornlng we learn that the unlon depot detectives, | having learned that the man was on the traln, boarded It a8 It entered the depot. They found the manlac, but did not take hlm Int> cas. tody slmply beocause just at that time he was very peaceable, The rumlfi of this neglect of daty Is shown In our tele- graphic dispatches. The manlac ran the traln from Kansas Oity to Chieago, frightened all the passengers and killed one officer and wounded one or two per- sons, The total number of shots that he fired was about one hundred and fifty. All this would have been avoided had he boen arrested at Kansas Oity, where he could easily have been secured. He had already done enough between Den- ver and that point to have warranted his arrost and detentlon. Tr the forthcoming book of Mlss Cleve- land had been {ssued when her brother was mayor of Buffalo or even governor of New York, it would bave attracted only ordinary attention, but now that Mr, Olevelaud is president her volume will undoubtedly be awalted with conslder- able Interest. Clrcumstances alter cases, and Miss Cleveland has not been slow to take advantage of the opportunity afford- ed her of acquiring literary fame which she might have otherwise never obtained. — Axv further attempts to clvilize such treacherous, murderous and ungratefal savages as the Chiricahua Apaches would be a waete of tlme, money and sympathy. General Crook’s peace policy won't work with such blood-thiraty redskins, They ought to be planted under slx foot of enrth. That's about the only way to sup- press them and make good Indians of them, Tae example of Mr, Snyder, a Now Yorker, in requesting that his pension, amounting to $72 per month, bs stopped is already having a good effect. Now comes a iady pensioner, who says that as she has fallen helr toa fortune, she no longer needs the penafon,and she has ao— cordingly ordered that she be atricken from the pension rolls. e e Tue BEr's estimate of the new com- misatoner of agricalture was not far out of the way. The Chicago Tribune says that in St. Louls, Colman’s home, he has long been known asa harmless enthuslast, edlting a weekly agricoltural paper, and with a great capacity for attending the theatre and for making speeches when- ever half a chance is afforded him. AccorpiN to the latest crop roports there will be & big shortage in wheat this seaton. The money proceeds, however, will probably not fall much short of last year, as the prices will be much belter. Besldes, there Is a large surplusfrom Isst year's crop which will now find its way into market at good prices, — OuR base ball pets returned in time to mop up the diamond with some young fellows from Omaha, Otherwise there would h ave been some graves decorated yesterdsy not down on the programme, — Kansas City Times, Those *‘goung fellows” are mnot from Omaha, They have stolen the good name of Omahs, and are sa'ling under false col- ora, It Is fortunate for them that they are keeplng shy of this city. Tae idea of a sister of a democratic president writing a temperance letter has somewhat puzzled the bourbons at the naticnal capital. This may explain why the water from the Washington water- works 1s now declared to be lmi)uro. They cvidently want some excuss for not drlnking water, —_— Ix his divorce sult John L. Sullivan teetified that while he was willing to take care of his wife, he dld not propose to support the whole state of Rhode Island. A man who made ons hundred thousand dollars In a year ought not to complain about supporting such a small affair as Little Rhody. Ix an erticle on the prosperity of the west the Kansas City Z'mes, while prais- ing Kaneas City, does not forget to praise other cities. “Omaha is pressing for- ward in the race and s making a good second to the mighty hero of western Mietourl.” Peruars Captain Howard with his Gat- ling guo, which cleaned out Riel and his rebels, might find a jcb with General Orook.

[Contributed. ] One of the greatest men ¢f the modern times and one, who, perhaps demon- strated as forcibly his individuality as any man, dled in Parls, France, May 22. His physioal structare Is In that next di- vislon of eternity—the grave, and the transitlon willsoon place him out of hu- man slght in the labratory of nature. Victor Hugo compared to human beings collectively was the equal of any of them; compared to them Inalvidually, his Intel- lectual productions rank him at the head, because they dazzled the elvilized world and they will live as long as human be- Ings have the power to communicate one with another, He did not write for a day nor a year. He wrote for eternity. He wrote for humanify. In his descriptions he did not reiterato but used language appropriate to the ocossion and to correspond to the ability of his char acters. To discourage the follles of youth, to encourage charlty, to protect mothers, wives and daughters, to contend for liberty, to fight and die for that cause he conaldered to bo the highest misslon of man, He thoroughly understood the obligation man is under to all forms of llving matter and by practiclng that conviction he Incurred the hatred of tyranty and the love of patrlots. The former he pitied, the latter he embraced. He gave succor to the weak., He en- couraged the unfortunate. He relieved the distressed. He rogarded prostitu- tlon the woret form of slavery and when one was emancipated from that slavery he belleved him or her was restored to his or her primitive purity. He believed that charity was the only pure and un- adulterated religlon and, by dispensing with unlimited prodigality the charity of his consclerce and the money he earned he demonstrated that he was such a religlonist, He belleved that his spiritual advisor was his conecience and he dled a philosopher by not acknowledging that any intercession of another could possi- bly change his destiny. His life waa ap- right, his death was dlvine. Sublime in his conceptions, genorous in his acts. He was an utilitarian by nature and he dis- pensed as a just adminisiratcr the sani- tary, religious and patrlotic rights of hu- manity. A man ot patrlotic impulses, be was an honor to the cltlzens of the world. While a member of the assembly he ve- hemently opposod with his utmost capac- ity any measura couched in language that was derogatory to a just ani moral jurisprudence. A representative above reproach, while in power his official acts are without a stain on the escutcheon of common clvility, His *‘Les Miserables’ 1s an fmproved ‘“Decalogue,” snd when it was out of the publishers’ hands ready for humanity to study it made him famous that dsy. In the graduatiog ecale cf fame it wrote on the highest scroll Eter- nal-Immortal. His other literary pro- ductlons added lustre to his diadem. He traversed the entire range of hu- man thought and with his vivld per- ceptive faculties, remarkable fintultive koowledge and unbounded versatile genius ho was enabled to critlcally diag- nose social diseases and the crimes soci- ety s respontible for and trace them to their caunses and accurately prescrite the remedies. He was constantly in com- munien with vature by belng able to analyse her forces and cenditiozs, and having at his command the entire human language he could vividly and compre- heasively communicate the causes of thess forces and condilions. He rose in the moral horizor. as the radiating light of & high civilizatlor, inviting humanity, to love humanity for humanity’s eake. Greatman ! Good man! Grand man! Pure, just, generous, kind and affection- ate, as an examplar he bestowed his acts of kindnoss with the simpliclty of a child and with the sublimity of patare. His birth was a blessing, his death was a calamity, W. H. BEVERLY. Omahs, June 1, 1885, HAYES WOULDN'T HAVE IT. The Ex-President Disposes of His Omaha Property for $14,000. The property of ex-President R, B. Hayes, on Sixteenth street, that has lately attracted 8o much attention and was the subject for a speclal illustrated article, not long ago, in the Chicago News, was yesterday sold by Mr, Hayes’ agent, Byron Reed, to Messrs, Osthcff, Garlick and Jchoson. The sum pald by them for the properiy was $14,000. The Chicago News sent Kuagene Field out to Omsha sbout two weeks 0go with an artist and while Mr. Field was learning all the facts he could abont the property, his artlst made several sketches of the esloon that is on 1t, all of which subsequently appesred in the Newn. Of courss it caused comment everywhere, and o an- noyed Mr. Hays that he instructed his agent to try and secure & release of the ealoonkeeper's leess. on the property, which is good for two et, and bave the saloon moved off. v, Osthoff, the saloon keeper could not be Induced to relinquieh, Mr. Hayes was intormed of that fact whereupon he then ordered his sgent to sell the prop- erty at any price, Tho sale, s above stated, was effected yesterday.

SAFE BLOWERS. A Attempt to Rub Ed. Medomber's Safe, A Terrific Explosion, Followed by Rattling Glass and Great Ex citement-—~One of the Scoundrels Oaptured Abont 1 o'clock last night a terrific ex- plesion was heard in Edward Medem- ber's carrlage shops at the corner of Six- teonth and Chicago strects, and almost Immedlately there followed a great ratiling of broken glass on the sidewalk. Two men were seen by Officer Charles Hollo, a block watchman, to run away from the place in opposite dlreotions. He and his dog, a white bull terrler, pursued one of them down Chicago ‘street, and after Hollo fired a shot after him he was caught by the dog at Fourteenth atreet and held there until Hollo conld come up and take him in, He was marched to pollce headquarters and glven lodgings in the old clty jell. The fellow says that his name 1s Wilson, and that he came here from Kansas Olty. He is a small, smooth-faced, tough-looking chap, and was dressed In light colored clothes. The other one ran up to Capital avenue and then took a westerly direction. After the exploslon two fire alarms were turned in from box 61, calling the department out, but they were not needed. The sffort to get Mr. Medember's sufe open was not successfal, as only the out- side plate of the eafe door was blown ctf. The villains drilled a hole Into the door, juet below the lock handle, but it seema they failed to get far enough in' to reach the lock, On the flocr' was found a bit and small screw with the po!nt end freshly broken off of it, and s lot of charred papers. On the desk, which stands directly over the safe, were two small pleces of white paper, each beatlog the name of H. H. Adams, and it was surmised that they probably had some bearing on the affair. The safe isa small one, and baars the firm nams of Andreen & Vallen.
