Just before Mr, Adams left Omaha on Sunday last he delivered himself of the followlng spontaneous tribute to the worth and zenlus of the champlon advo- cate of monopoly, through a reporter of the Republican: “What can you tall me about railroad af- fairs, Mr, Adams?” *Nothing, my young friend, except to say that T had the pleasure at the meeting of the inter-state commerce committee in Omaha a Tue wooden sidewalks on the principal business streets must go. Tie Mexican editors have not yet via- ited Omaha, They don't know what they have missed. —_— Wiex Dz, Miller and Charles Francls Adams got tholr heads together perhaps wo ehall have & new set of shops on the belt line—or in Denver.

Tue Canadian house of commons has unanimously voted §20,000 to General Middleton as a raward for suppressing the northwest rabellion.

A MoxTANA paper suggests that the Pall Mall Gazette ought to establish a branch office In Utah and open its bat- teries upon the polygamiste. Utah affords an excellent field for such enter- prieing papers as the Pall Mall (fazelte, Lours ReAUME, the lunatle who cap- tured a Wabash traln a few weeks ago and killed a Chlcago policeman, has been permitted to go to Michigan In charge of his relatives. Aftefhe has killed two or three more persons the authorit!es may coms to the concluslon that the proper place for him s in an {nsane asylam, Tar Canadians have no more use for the Chinamen than have the people of the Unlted States, Followlng our ex- ample, tho'Canadian senate has passed s Ohlness restrlction blll, which, if it be- comes a law, will {n connectlon with our restrlotlon law give John Chinsman a very slim show of landing upon Amerl- ¢ soll, Tugre are upon the principal business streets of Omaha, numerous valuable lots that are covered with wretched wooden bulldings, in front of which ara still worse sldewalks. If the owners of these valuable lots will not eract respectable buildings, they should at least be com- pelled, as they can be, to put down new sldewalks of durable materlsl and in ac- cordance with the regulatlon specifica- tlons. Tur Unlted States authoritles have bagged three more big guns of the Mor- mon hierarchy—Blshop Sharp, Bishop Young, and Henry Dunwoody—on the charge of polygamy, to which they plead not guilty. Addltional psnitentiary room will soon ba needed In Utah if the conviction of Mormon polygam!sis {s kept up at the present rate, The result of the prosecatlons 8o far shows that the Edmunds law can bs made very eftective in weeding out polygamy. All that s neceesary Is its stelct enforcement. Tue twenty thousand Hungarisns, who by their cheap labor have caused s> much trouble among the working men of Penn- sylvania, will probably migrate in & body to the northwestern part of Canada. This movement will bea great rellef to Pennsylvanla worklng men who have been unable to compete with the Hungsrians, ss they could not llve as cheaply as these forelguers. The Hurgarlans are working In the coal and fron mines at present, but as they wers farmers in thelr own country they prefer to till the soll and hall with dellght the opportunity that is to be afforded them through the efforts of Count Esterhszy, who Is now negotiating with the domin- ijon government fora tract of 200,000 acres of land to be placed at the disposal of bis countrymen, The prospects are that this scheme will be successful, and 1n thot event the Hungarlans will pro- coed 1o the nearest point on the Ca dlsn Pacific rallway, over which they will be tranzported free to their destination in the Qu-Appelle distrlot. few weeks ago, of listening to one of the best and stronpest presentations of the rail way problem that I ever heard. The speaker was Dr. Miller, of your city. I am sorry to say that I do not know the gentleman personally. His argument was to the effect that competition would always beat combina. tion, and that it was of no use for men to try and regulate natural conditions, He must have made a study of the subject, for it was certainly an able and forcible presentation of the bottom principles and facts of the knotty question, It was so much better than I could think of doing after long, active work in the business, that I regret not having the oppor- tunity of seeing him.” For candor that is childlike and bland, commend us to Charles Francls Adams. 1f the great rallway manager had only kept De. Miller from glving hlmself away in his anxiety to pose as the mouth plece of Mr. Adams, hls arsarance that he does not know the great doctor personslly would have caused some surprise, Like a devout Hindoo the doctor had publisly proatrated himself bsfore his idol, and made open confesslon of his faith in the fnfallibllity of hls railway monopoly gods. Mr. Adams stood in blank amazement and gazzd at the prostrate mammon wor- shipper. Mr. Adams was on the pointof embracing and drawlng him to his bosom on the spot, bat reprossed his emotlons for pradential rea- sons. Since that memorable Incident Mr, Adams has only been able to commune through the telephone with the profound student of the rallway problem. After spending a life-time as a rallway commis- sloner and manager of rallways, Adams was candid enough to admit beforo the committee that to him the railway prob- lem was still an euigma. Bat for the genlus of Dz. Miller, who probed the knotty question to the bottom, from the inelde of a rallroad job printing office, with eating-house and frelght-transfer perulsltes, the country would still bs In the dark as to what ls best for the rallroads and their patrons. Afterdeepand profound study the doc- tor had come to the concluslon that it was no uee for men to try to regulate publlc carriers, and that the only solu- tion of the railway problem is to let the rallroads have thelr own way, charge just what they please, accommodate whom they please, and rob whom they like, not even excepting thelr stockholders. This, of course, does not apply to the Pallman monopoly, one of whose hirelings dared to charge the doctor two dollars for a seat, just the same as he charged ordina- ry people. That unexampled extortion probably did not recur to the dootor when he was before the committee, or he would have ventilated it as bitterly as he did In the Herald. The forclble presentatlon which Dr. Miller made before the committee of hls own pecullar conclusions has captivated Mr. Adams, if it does not capture some more rallroad job-work for the Herald, and henceforth the Herald and the doc- tor will be the recognized mouth plece of the Unton Paclfic as much so as In the good old days of the Jay Gould re- gime when the doctor was never at a loss for polnters and perqoisites. Although Mr, Adams says that he has never made the personal acqualntance of Dr. Miller, yet the eminent railroad journallst an. nounces that he now ‘‘spaaks by the card” In rogard to the presont policy and fature schemes of the Union Paclfic. What wlill transplre atter Adams and Miller have been form- ally introduced to each other we canuot attempt to predict, 1t may be that Adams will feel very much like uslng the expresslon credited by Victor Hugo to Oambronne at the battle of Waterloo when that hero was asked to surrender the imperial guard. Tie Republican 1s now shedding cro- codlle tears over Mayor Boyd's partisan- ship., If we remember right the Rcpub. lican supported Mr, Boyd last spriog with all its tnfluence, and urged republi- cans to vote for him, Mr, Boyd was just as much of a democrat last spring as he lsnow. He was the Nebraska member of the natlonal democratlc committee, and an avowed candldate for United States senator, How does the /lepubli- can propose to explaln away {ts political tresson /! There was a regular republican candldate for mayor In the field, and no charge of corruption or incompstsncy could be brought agalnst him, Does the Republican imagive it can hoodwink the party by howling aboat Mr, Boyd’s parti- sanship at this late day / Wiy ls it that the board of education perslsts in amending fts rules and regula- tlons In order to provide places for in- competent pets and elnecures! If the rules are to be suspended every time a favorlte of some particular member is to be put on the pay- roll without an exami- nation the board may as well abrogate all Its rules and be done with It at once. Because the board has a large sum of lmculy at its dlsposal there Is no good THE DAILY BEE--WEDNESDAY, JULY reason why it should be equandered on teachers who do not know how to teach and speclalls's whose only specialty.is to draw pay without glvlng value recelved, We dlsllke to be personal In this matter, bat unless the beard reecinds its resolutions and retires the useless favorltes for whse special benefit the rules hav been suspended we shall be ccmpelled to go Into detalls and show the patrons of the schools how they have been Imposed upon for years. It is about time, In cur oplnfon, that all pets and favorites, who cannot stand an examina- tlon, together with all ornamental super- numerarles, should be retired. We have no penslon burean for this class of barnacles, The school fand should be honestly and falthfally expended for echool bulldings and compotent and effi- clent teachera. THE BUSINESS OUI'LOOK. The present dullness of trade is inci- dental to tiae mid-summer on. As yot there is hardly any perceptible movement in the way of purchases for the fall trade, and no materlal improve- ment is looked for until sometime next month. Dealers generally, however, expect a brisk business durlng the fall season, Last week's fallures in the United States and Canada numbered 225, as agalnst 185 the previous week. Is Is noted that in wool the manu- facturers have been operating more freely, The volume of business in this ltne In Philadelphia last week exceeded that of any previous week since the 1st of January. The country wool markets have advanced beyond a parlty with cea- board prices, and as the ease of the financial eituation is favorable for growers who are unwilling to part with their clips at the figares dictated by eastorn deslers, there is little doubt but that the equality of values will bo restored by a gradual-advance in tho eastern markets rather than by a decline In the west. It {s this vlew of thesitualion that prompt- od more actlve buying last week at tho relatlve low rates pow raling on tho sea- board, Cotton prices have declined } to 8-16 of a cent per pound under free sell- ing by speculators and actual holders, which has been encouraged by unfavor- able reports from Liverpool—the foreign political news and continued promising conditlon of the growlng crop. Legltl- mate demand has continued very low. Whtle the dry goods trade is qulet, there have been somespecialties for the fall searon to that havebeen In demand ameng purchasers from distant markets. There has also baen considerable call for staple cotton and woolen fabrics on back orders. Asa rule, however, buyera are holding off as long as possible, and pur- chases are only made to supply {mmedl- ate wants. Country etock are belng re- duced to the lowest possible limlt, and 1t s expected that when purchasing for the fall season beg'ns In earnest the eastern dealers will bo surprised at the volume of trade that will roll in upon them from all quartera. The anthraclte coal trade shows no Im provement. Consumers have no appre- heneion of higher prices, and order only for pressing requirements. The iron trade as a whole continues qulet. There is a falr buslness In small lots, but few large orders are belng reselved. The In- quiry for bridge and butlding Iron is very falr, and there s a good demand for tubes and plpes. The Philadelphia Zecord In its weekly revlew of the grain market says: A strong feature of the wheat situation is the determined attitude of wealthy specu- Iators, who, having carried their holdings in the face of the recent sharp decline in prices, are now more than ever inclined to await the improvement which they believa to be only a question of time, At the present level of values the market is very sensitive to favoring influences, dnd the windsellers hasten to cover their outstanding contracts wn the first indication of an advanca, This has heen sub stantially evidenced by therise of two to three cents per bushel that took place on the an- nonncement of renewed political uneasiness in Europe, and though the later advices have been less warlike, the nervous feeling pre viously created has prevented more than a partial reaction from this advance, .As com- pared with this time last week prices are one to one and a half cents higher in all markets, The natural bent of the market under exist- ing conditions of supply and demand is 1n the Zirection of lower prices, but this tendency is liable to sudden check by the sggressive movements of speculators or any unexpected developments concerning harvest prospects in this country or in Europe, Beerbuhm reports a probability that the yield of wheatin most European countries will be below the average, but from other sources the crop news is generally encouraging as to England and France, though leas favorable as to Aus. tria and southern Russia, Thero has been a further decrease of over 2,000,000 bushels in the amount of wheat on passage from all ports of the world to Great Britain and the continent; but much of the reduction in afloat stocks is due to the fact that the wheat has arrived in the United Kingdom, where it is now pressing on the market and preventing any material advance in values. Owing to the early harvest in Virginia and Maryland there have been large receipts of new wheat at Bal- timore, but the movement of new crop to other canters hoth east and west is yet very moderate. Corn prices have declined one cent per buthel, as & result of larger ship mants from the interior to western centers and larger arrivals on the seaboard, Fears as to the kespiog quality of a portion of the sup- ply have contributed to weaken the market At the decline there is & much better inquiry for export, Speculation has been a little more active than in recent weeks, and there has been a well sustained and good demand for home consumption, Tuke successor of Brete Harte as consul to Glasgow Is also a “literary feller.” Hls name is Krancls H. Underwood, and he halls from Boston, He is credited with havlng been one of the prime moavers in startlog the At/antlc Monthly, of which he was for a tlme editor, a positiod which ho fillad very creditably. Among the works that he has published are “‘A Handbook of English Literatura,” ‘‘The True Story of the Exodus,” **Cloud Plc- | thi tares,” a novel ealled ““Lord of Himself,” anda ““Life of Whittler.” In addition to these works he has written numerous magazine and newspaper articles of a high order of merit. Besldes, he Is sald to be a good business man, which is always the case with & person who has Iterary talent and Inclinations, —_— THE SANDWICH ISLANDS, Some Interesting Information concern- ing the Sandwlch Islands Is contalned In a recent report recclved at Washington from our consul at Honolula, The cen- sus of tke Hawailan kingdom, the maln featares of which are glven in this re. port, shows that Kalakaus is the mon. arch of 80,000 people, or about 20,000 more than are under the jurisdiction of the mayor of Omaha., O the 80,000 persons who inhablt the Sandwlch Islands 44,000 are natives, 4,000 of them belng half caste, so that only half. of the popalation Is composed of pure natlves. The ficures show a very large Inorease of forelgnera afnoce the last consus was taken. The forelgners, however, have been fmported malnly from China, and so rapidly dld they come that the gov- ernment was finally compelled to pre hibit further Importation. These China- men have not only ocorrupted the natives to a large extent, but they have managed to seeare a great deal of land and other préperty, and have made themselves quite wealthy and powerful. They have also largely obtained control of the business of the Isiands, and If there were no resirlctlon placed upon Chinere immlgration It would be onlya few years before Hawail woald be nothing but a Chincee colony. Having stopped the Chinese from coming, the government around end Invites the Japanese to come to the fslands. Thls has been done in response to the demands ot the sugar- planters, who must have cheap labor, and it 1is belleved that the Japs will prove mors acceptable to the people of Hawall. The Japsnese government has hitherto refused to per- wmlt any sach emlgration from its domaln, and 1t ls rather singular that it has made an exceptlon in this Instance. Botween 4,000 and 5,000 Japaneae laberers are ex- pected in Hawall under this arrangement, by means of which the sugar-planters will be enabled t> proceed with thetr business. Had they been unable to ob- taln this cheap labor 1t is claimed that they would either have been obliged to suspend operations or go Into bankruptcy. With this reinforcoment from Japan, with wages at ten dollars per month per man, they will be able to prodace more sugar and make more money than ever. It 1s estimated that they wlill produce 80,000 tons of sugar this year, which will be an increaso of 10,000 tons over the yield of last year. A ROYAL FEAST. A London cablegram announces that the king of Dahomey and his army have eaptured one thoutand Frenchmen, whom they propose to eat. The Dahomans are evidently eplcures, and are bound to have a tquare meal. Frenchmen on toast is a deliclous dlsh indeed, and 1t 1s not often that the klng of Dahomey hes the good fortune to capture such rare game for his royal tables and his loyal leglon. People who ars satlsfied with porter- house stesks, mutton chops and other meats ususlly found in a modern first- class butcher shop, and who are not ac- quainted with the king of Dahomey and his subjects will naturally inquire what kind of persons they are anyhow that dellght to feed upon the festive Frenchman. Dahomey ls a kingdom in Gulnes, In Weat Africa, where the princlpal animals are the llon, the tiger, and the elephant. The pecople are pagans, numberlng about 180,000, and the tiger I8 their chlef fotich—the princl- pal object of thelr superatitios worship. They are a bloodthirsty and courageous people, but In the presence of thelr despot they are very abjest and approach him by crawllng with their faces in the dust, The monarch once a year eprinkles his ancestors' graves with human blood. No one can take a wife excopt by gift or purchase from the sovereizn. At the death of a king the multitude of wlves In his seraglio set to butcherlng one another, and the bloody carving match is kept up until stopped by the dead monarch’s successor. The king has a stacding army of 6,000 female warrlors, and It {s into thelr hands that the unfortunate Frenchmen have fallen, It stelkes us that here Is & people that needs the attentlon of our foralgn mis- slonary socletler, A Libel on Dr, Miller, Chicago News, The Denver Tribune spesks of Dr, George L.Miller,of Omaha, as ‘‘a veterl- nary surgeon who falled to get a place In Clevelana’s cablnet, to which some of his horee frlends led him to believe he was entitled.” ~This is mallclously untrath- ful. Dz, Miller is not a veterinatlan; he knows nothlng about horses—probably he could not tell the difference between s case of glanders and an ordinary colic, Dr, Miller Is a journallst and a good one, At a remote perlod—for his career has been protracted as well as useful—he studled mediolne, and we presume there are graveyards that will attest to hls skill as a pbysician, But that was maoy years ago; #s far back as the history of western journalism goes, De. Miller was an editor, and he deserves credlt for the great and good work he has done es an editor. He wi candidate for a place in the Cleveland cabine!; he was cifered the first asslstant postmaster-zeneralship, He declined the cffer, Would any other western democratic edltor have done as much! Certainly no Denver editor, whatever hls politics might be.
