Irseemsa little early for Mr. Bayard to stump Miesour), but perhaps he con- slders it a doubtfal state, — e Onsecror Horyax does not object to his son drawing six dollars a day as clerk of hls junketing committee. Avoxa the latest charges for removals from office is ‘‘offeustve drunkenness.” How would that charge workif used to provent appointments tojoffice ? It isa rule that ought to work both ways, Nor ea'itfied with the acknowledged shortege in the wheat crop, the Chicago speculators Introduced the festive grass- hopper as s disturbing element in the wheat pit, and now that it has been shown that the hopper was a canard, they have sumaoned the Hesslan fly to thelr assis- tance. The voraclous Hosslan sent the market up 1§ ceats which is considered a blg advance in vlew of the recent depres- slon, A coxsumpTIVE lady of Chlcago, while on a atreet car, and afraid that she was going to die before she could get home, opened a bible and read a few verses from Job. This gave her sufficlent strepgth to reach a mission chapsl, where prayers were offered up for her. She suddenly arose and declared herself cured. Porsons similarly afflloted would like to know what verses in Job she read, and whether the bible was a revised edlition, I~ regard to grades City Attorney Con- nell very senslbly advises the clty council that street grades be established by or- dinance as rapldly as posslbly, so that all property owners In making future im- provements will have no reason for plac- ing them go that the grading of the street will occesion damage. It is his opinlon that where improvements are made sub- sequent to the establishment of & grade that no damages to such improvements can be recovered by reason of grading. In other words, psrsons who make fm- provements without regard ts the esiab- lished grade are guilty of negligence. TaE fact that a paying teller io a New York bank has disappeared leaving a de- fict of $160,000, is pretty conclusive evi- dence of looesncss in the management of the Institutlon. The mystery s how a paying teller could get away with that amount unless he walked off with the money in ons bundle immediately upon the closs of & day’s business. It may be that he accomplished the robbery in that way. The cathler of the bank was called upon to explain how such a thing could be done, but he refassd to do 8o, and the dlrectors would say nothing about ft. This {s ancther case where the directors falled to direct, Iz Isa very poor day in Chiosgo when Mayor Harrlson can’t think of something to keep himeelf before the public. His latest self advertising scheme is the issu- anuo of an order that all the gambling houses in that city shall be closed on and after to day. This sudden spasm of vir- tue on the part of & man whose most in- timate political friencs have been boss gamblers has caused oonslderable surprise in all clrcles, However, If he enforces his order and rids Chicago of the gamb- ling curge he will be entitled to the thanks of the public, and will in a meas. ure redeem himself In the estimation of the people. —_— Tue congressional library has grown o rapidly that more room is agalndemanded for its accommodatiens, The collection now Inclades nearly five hundred and slxty thousand volumes, three hundred thousand pieces of musle, two hundred thousand pamphlets, and between one hundred thousand and one hundred and fifty thousand spsclmens of graphic art. It 1s now proposed to get additlonal ac. commodatlon in vaults through the in- tended substitation of masonry terraces tor the earth ones around the capltal, In the meantime four addltional crypts have been fitted up under the rotunds of the capitol for the use of the library, which already ocouples five similar orypts that are filled with its literary materlsl, —_— THE cansus takers have begun their labors in this tity, snd so far as can be learned are doing thelr work falthfully. As was expected, however, they fre- quently meet with persons who, either through fIgnorance or a desire to be “‘smart”, greatly annoy them by re- fuslog to answer questions, or by giving fmpertinent avswers, It s hoped that such persons will bo taught the impor- tance of glving fu'l and correct informa-. tlop. In the first place Omaha wants to make 88 good a showing as poselble as to her population, and in the next place it is important that we have a corcect cen- sus as the more people we have the larger our legislative representation will be. INSIDE HISTORY OF THE RIEL REBELLION. The defeat and captare of Rlel vietaally crushed the rebelllon In the Northwest territory, but it did not end all the troubles. The Canadlans now have in Blg Bear and his 700 warrlors a more determined foe than they had In Rlel and his followers, but it is only a ques. tion of time when the government troops will whip them iato surrender. The inside history of the rebellion, which Is now coming to the surface, puts Riel in a vory unenviable light. It shows that his motives in stirring up the rebel- lion were of a mercenary character. He sought to blackmall the government out of money, and upon belng refused he threatened to create trouble that would cost $30,000,000. This threat he has succeeded in carrying oat, Before the outbreak he visited Rov. Father Andre, an Influentlal Catho- lic priest of Prince Albert, and tried to indace him to aid In getiing the half-breeds to rebel, and to enllst other catholic priests in the movement, Rlel promising that the church should re- ceive half of all the half-braeds obtained by the rebellion. The proposltion was indignantly rejocted. Rlel then wanted the government to give him $2,000 to leave the country, At the same tims he complalned of the way he had been treated in 1879. He claimed that Sir John McDonold had promised him §3,000, buat that he had received only $1,000. It was to Father Andre that Riel made his threat of creating astorm that would cost £30,000,000 and a great deal of blood- shed, unless the government complied with his demand to give him enough money to carry himself and family to Lower Canada. When the government was informed of this it re~ plied that It did not wish to hear any- thing apout Rlel, and that it would do nothing for him. He then preclpitated the rebellion, taking advantage of the grievances of the half-breeds to cause them to follow his leadership, Riel’s true character, now that it Is be- coming known, together with his mer . cenary motlves, is making him an object of contempt not only with the Catholics, but among the half-breeds. who begin to see how they were made his tools. If he s not convicted and put to death, he will probably be killed by those who have been wronged by his course. It is sald that a secret siciety has baen organ- ized at Winnlpeg, composed of men who wera imprisoned by Ricl, both in this and the previous rebellion, and those who have had friends or relatives put to death or tortured by the rebsls, all cf whom THE DAILY BEE--FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1885. printed upon yellow piper, oconstitutes the official gazette of the middle king. dom; the second, the IHsing-Paou (com- mercial journal), also printed upon yel- low sheets, contalns Information interest- ing to the trading community; while the third, ‘the Zitani Paou (provinolal ga- zette), printed upon red paper, consists of extracts from the other two editions, The total circalation of thess three issues 1s 15,000. ‘WaeN congress appropriated $400,000 for carrying mails In American ateam. ships during the coming fisoal year, It was generally supposed that It was in. tended as a special sabsidy for the Pacific Mall stoamship company, but the Bra- zillan steamship company, as woll as others, have put in clalms for a share of this money. This has stirred up a lively wrangle, and the postmaster.general ls now hearing the arguments of the varlons clalmanis In all probability the Pacific Mail will have to divide the plunder with the other claimants. have swora to kill Riel if he Is not exe- cuted. It would seem therefore that the rebel leader has but a small chance to escape death. PrESIDENT OLEV2LAND's decislon to re- commend to congress some measure to relieve the supreme court of the press of business that now crowds its calendar is very timely. The docket {s 80 overloaded with cases that it will take several years to clear it up, even if no new cases are entered, That something must be done Is generally conceded. The docket, how- ever, would not have become g0 overbur- dened had the judges of the supreme court performed a ressonable amount of work. The fact Is that the judges are elther lazy or too old to perform much work. Besldes, we cannot see how any one can expect very much to be accom- plished when they take an annual vaca- tion of slx montbs. If the president would recommend that the supreme court should do a full year's work for a full year’s salary he would bo heartlly endorsed, If the supreme court is to be veorganized, it s hoped thst some young and vigorous blood will be infused into it, and that the vacation be cut down to two months or less. If the slow-going and venerablo judges that now occupy the bench and fritter away tims and money could all be retired and their places filled with active, hard-working middle-aged men of acknowledged ability we venture to ssy that the decket could be cleared up In a reasonable time with- out any increase in the number of judges. The salaries are large enough to Induce able and energetic lawyers to accept the positien, CoxGrEssMAN HoLwmAN, the great ob- jector, will soon be in Omaha with }lis select committee to Inquire Into Indian affairs, The committee will be acsom- panied by thelr wives and other relatives, and while they may vislt some Indlan reservations conveniently near to rall- roads, It looks very much as 1f Mr, Holman had planned an extensive summer junketing tour. The first place that they will visit will be the Yellow- stone national park. While they are viewlng the wonders of this wonderland 1t s to be hoped that they will thoroughly invest!- gate the affalrs of the Indians In the park, thus comblning buslness with pleasare, It is stated that they propose to vislt Idaho, Oregon, Nevads, and Washington territory. In each of those sectlons of the country they will find many places ot Interest, but very few Indlans, and they arein a peaceful seml-clvilized state, and whose affairs do not need any Investiga. tlon. If Mr, Holman would visit the Sloux and Crow reservations in this part of the west, or go down Into Arlzona and Interview the Apaches he might possibly find somethlog of Interestand importance rogarding Indisn affairs, Tae oldest newspaper in the world, the Pckin Caictte, has lately taken w new lease of life, Th!s venerable journal has chavged its form. Established In the year 911, the Pekin Gazettc bas been published regularly since 1851, Under the new arrangemont three editions are published; the first, the King-Paou, WHAT-ARE-We-HEne-For FLANAGAN, the only republican who ever became celebrated for telling the truth, has been ejected from his Texas collectorship for being an offensive partisan,—St, Zouis Republican It lsdifficult to understand how the democrats can apply the charge of **offen- slve parttsanship” to Mr. Flanagan, His famous utterance, ‘‘what are we here for.” is a sentiment heartily endorsed by the great majorlty of democrats. Nine out of every ten democrats are to-day asking the same questlon that was asked by Flarags ‘What are we here for any how, unless it s for the offises? e Tae general synod of the Lutheran church has resolved to apportion 60,000 among the churches for home missionary work, and also to establich in Omaha a permanent headquarters for the General Western Home Missionary secretary. Thls, in connection with the fact that the general synod s to meet in Omaha, gives this clty quite a religions boom. Meantime It is hoped our citizens will take steps to mecure the Lutheran college whish 1t is proposed to eatablish at some point west of the Mississippi. THE people of southwestern New Mexico are cemplaining bitterly at the peace policy pursued by Gen. Crook to- wards the Apaches. Theycontend that had the Apaches been properly punished when they were subdusd in the firat place, and that if their arms and ponles had been taken away from them, they would not now have been able to go upon the war- path. If they are ever recaptured no mercy should be shown to them, They should be treated as any other red- handed murderers would be. Groree W, JuLiaN, seventy-eight years of age, has been appointed sur- veyor-general of Mexico. Some demo- crats think he {s too old for the place. M, Jullan, however, is an able and hon- est man, and is an sauthority on land matters. New Mexico needs such a man, but the trouble is that he will find more crookedness In that terrltory than he will be abla to stralghten out during the remainder of hislife. Prorussor RiLey, the entomologlst, has demonstrated that the seventeen- year locust is very palatable and nutritlous as food. He declares the locust equal to frled oysters or frog-legs. Prof. Riley, who eats grasshoppers snd pronounces them delightfal, can feed on locusts if he wishes to, but the average eplcurean, we venture to say, will stlok to frled oyster and frog-legs overy time. Tig Omaha Fair and Exposition company appears to make haste very slowly. It looks as if they would have toretire from the field and let Lincoln and the state fair have full sway. —Fremont Tribune, Not at all, Omaha hes subscribed $40,- 100 for the fafr, and has only $9,900 more to ralse to guarantee the success of the enterprise. This does not look very much like retiring from the field, TuERE are now only two resl contest- ants in the field for the governorship of Dakots, Meesrs. Zisback and Caulfield, both of whom are residents of the terri- tory. Zleback seems to have the lead, and wlill probably ‘be appointed, if en- dorsements amount to anything. THE controversy as to who s the first lady in the land has assumed serious pro- portions, President Cleveland may have to settle the matter, and about the easl- est way for him to do it Is to make some woman happy by marrylog ber.

San Francisco Call, ‘‘Nob Hill Is the right placa for an ar- ist. When hegets tired he ocan rest, gazing at the beautiful scsnes which un- roll themselves before him,"” Speaking thus, a friend and the writer passed the threshold of a noted local ar- tist, perched on the summit of the city's fashionable hill. The object of the visit was to see the portraits of some Hispano-American presidents. “J will begin with the gceatest of all, Porfirlo Disz, president of Mexloo,” sald the smiling Jand Jcourteous artlst, and he placed on the easel the portrait of the distingutshed soldier. It was a remark- able likeness, Thers wassomething mar- tlal in the b:aring, the uniform and soar on the face, adding stlll mora firmness to the already resolute expresslon, The type revealed Indlan blood; yet the dimple In the chin, the light in the eye, softened the sterner traits, “Dld you not sketch some of the surrounding vlews of the oapital of Mexico?” “I did not; Twished t5> gy fn the direction of Buena Vista, just about three miles from the clty, but my friends wouid not allow me to go there alone, fearing that [ might mest with somo of the gangs of highwaymen who infest the suburbs of the olty. Though the gov- ernment had 900 of them executed in a summary way duriog the same yesr, they are unable to check them, and it s dan- gerous to go out of the city without being well protected,” “‘Here fs tho hero of the hour, Rufino Barrios,” remarked che artlst, as he placed another canvas on the eassl. *‘What a fiendlsh face!” exclalmed the friend; ‘‘that man fs going to haunt me.” The artist smiled at the implied com- pliment to his realiatic power. The impression made on the mind by the striki2g portrait Is not easily effaced. There s something luring in it, some- thing partaking of the snake and the tiger. The color, somewhat of a copper tint, gives the face a deathlike appaar- ance; the heavy, broad cuin indicates his declsion of character; hls stralght nose rather adds character to his face; his lips, extremely sensusl, give credit to the numerous storles afloat of the tyrannical way in whioch he satisfied his passions; his pointed head is stroagly Indicattve of Indian blood; his beard and hair are coarze; his eyes have a fearful, heartless expression; they are so penetratiog even on the cloth that it seems that can plerce through anything and everything. It is a stern face, showing intellect, suprome contempt for other people, Inspiring dread, and fascinating at the same time. You feel that you ars in the presence of a type, a chsracter; you are attracted toward it as the bird toward the snake that charms it Into a snare. You see engraved on the face ¢f that man an in- domitable will, a nataral bratal instinct. ‘‘Barrios,” remarked the artist, ‘‘had his good qualittes. Sometimes he lked to pose like another Solomon. For ex- smple: A woman pawned her jewglry, which was very fine, for a small sum of money. The Jew, knowing how valuable it was, denled having it when she called for it. In her affliction she applled to Barrlos for protection and justico. After hearing her story he told her to sit down and walt, In the meantime he sent an officer with a few soldiers to bring the Jew into his room. Assconas he en- tered he ordered him to sit down at a tableand write to his wife to remit the jewelry to the bearer, He then tender- od the note to the alde-de-camp in service, who returned with the contested jowelry in 2 short time, Barrios gave the jewelry back to the woman, and then ordered his guards to administer a hun- dred lashes fo the usuer and make him pay $10,000 to the poor. The same man who could be #0 just to a poor woman, could smokeo his cigar quietly, sitting at his own window, looking at the execu- tion on the plaza of seventeen poor fel- fows acsused of treason, and then have for two or three days the kind-hearted ladies who petitioned for the remittance of the sentence hanging up in hammocks in his yard, exposed to the inclemen- cies of the sun and night air.” “Did he pay any regard to his personal appearance?” “‘Not at all; he 1id rot care for good clothes. You saw nim at his best during his trip to the United States, but when he was at hcme he neglected his app ear- ance very much, He dretsed generally llke the middle class; he wore the short jacket and bandana with silk fringes.” “Can you tell us something wors about him?” *Yes; he was most just in money mat- ters; indeed, he was exceedingly scrupu- lous. He would rather pay moro than he owned than defraud any one. When I sent him gome pictures with a mczo to show them to him, he took out of his pocket $0 and handed it to him, thovgh the genersl price forsuch a message there is only 256 cents. Indeed, I think ho cared for money solely for the power it gave him.” **Had he & large family?” ‘‘Yes, teven or elght children, besides Mrs. Barrloy' little ones, for whom he thowed deep attachment, Undoubtedly there was true affectlon between Barrios and his children, for hls son Antoine could scarcely restrain his emotion in a conversation about the picture of his father.” “Perhap: you would llke to see a handsome Guatemalan woman?” Saying 80, the artist took out the plcture of a lovely Guatemalan, with such life-like ex- presslon as the vialtors had never seen before. They gazed upon a dashing military man with sufficlent African blood to tell even in a picture, It was the late Presldent Guaardls, of Costa Rics, of such unenviable fame—the same who died owlng England milllons for the famous Costa Rlica railroad, the same who never pald even his own personal dehts whenever he could avoid it. “‘He was the litile Napoleon of Central Amerlca,” sald the artlst, *‘He made himself president, He was 8 barefooted on, who was picking coffse bears with is wife, Dona Amells,” and the artist put next to Guardla’s portrait the llke- ness of a fine looking lady, exceedlngly white, but with & sad expression. *‘He became firat & soldler and thena presi- dent, through » ocoup d' etat, He galned the adheslon of eleven patrlots, who, havirg procured sufficient pistols und machetes (long knives), hired & man for the pur- pose, who drove them In & wagon all cov- ered up with zicate or green grass. When they passed by the cuartel or bar- racks, the driver called the gentinel and told him to ask the commandment if he would buy some zicate; that ke, the driver, would sell it for half-price on ac- count of his having to ride for out Into the conntry, The sentivel haviog in. quired of the commander, who roplied 1o the affirmative, the gates of the cuar- tel were thrown open, the mezy drove in, the men jumped out, and by killing the commandant and every one who cp leume of the Tobaceo Qaestion,” In the posed them, they obtained possession of the barracks, and Guardia proclaimed himeelf president of Costa Rica.” The next plotura was that of the arch- bishop of Mexico, Oardinal Labastida, with the Castillan blue eyes and type, a rather gond-natured face at firat sight, but a character deserving a close study; a little nose, like an esgle’s beak. He was the diplomate who settled, between the court of Rome and republican Mexico, the dlfficulties which aroee from tho con- fiscatlon of the church properties. e — YARNS FOR DRINKS, The Odd Oharacters One About a Hotel Lobby, —_— ‘Washington Star, “Yon alr, [ jumped right overboard and saved her!—I don’t care if I do.

The judge and colonel’s distributed themselves among the cushioned sestteos. Mects d the judge, as the Star man took a seat by him and opened tho con- versation. ‘I have got used to it.

The more common effeots are due to carbonlc acld and ammonio. 2. The effecta are but transitory. 3, All of the resulting evils fanctional, 4.

It seems that the power to undergo severe exertion aand fatigue, elther mental or physical, is aided by to- bacco. Situations of loneliness are always rea- dered more tolerable by tobacco, and it is the constant companlon of those who lead lives of solitude, such as that of the herds- man or rauchman. A feellng of unrest or discontent, made up of ill-defined long- ings, of imaginary disappolntments and unpleasant antipations, ¢ mmonly known as ennul, is responsible for much unhap- piness, This unfortunate condition of mind 1sremoved by the :oothing influence of a cigar, and the moroseness and gloom are quickly dispelled. As much of every day is filled up with care, our degree of comfort in this life will depend largely upon our abllity to bear it uncomplain- ingly. That tobacco assists us to do this, that it enables us to look upon life more complacently, must be the concluslon of every one who has experienced its in- fluence. That it enables us to toll with less fatigue is equally true.
