He virlually says that the Burlingtonand Northweatern may con- tlnue In thelr efforts to injure Omaha, and that our stockyards and packlng houses must not look to thosa roads for relief or justice, This great and power- fal commissioner, In whese hands the fate of Omaha soems to have been placed by some mysterious Inflaence, hes [s:ued his pronunclamento that the Barlington & Mistonr! and Sloux Clty & Pacific roads cannot come into Omaha, ag it would divert bueiness from the through lines, Commissloner Falthorn, however, acting under the direclion of the rail- roade, graclously permits the Unlon Pa- cific to stop conslgnments of llve steck at the Omsha stock gards long enough to ascortain {f thero are any sales to be made there, and if not the live stock is sent on to Chicago on a through consign- ment, But it appears that stock billed at the Union Pacific's pro- portion of the through rato t0 Omaha and sfterwsrza rebilled to Chi- cago, must piy the local rate from Oma- by our government.

The article was based upon a most unfortunate mis- take. In justice to Mr. Outright it is but falr to say that his friends declare that he was ready, when it had been shown that he had made a grievous blan- der, to make every reparation, and that the editor of the Journal promlsed to make a full explanation and apology, yet the father of the young lady decmed it neceesary to shoot Mr. Cutrlght. This mayhave been some temporary eatisfaction he has had time to reflect upon his hasty act ho no doubt has coms to the conclu- slon that the explavaiion and apologles that have since been made by tke Jour- nal are a great deal mora satlsfactory, and will tend mora to the correction of the terrible mlistake than if he had shot Catright a dcz:n times and killed him, 1t certalnly is a most unfortunate affalr for all parties concarned. It shows that too much care and dlscretion cannot be exerclsed in the publication of sensationsl articles Involving the reputation of per- sona, Wherever there Ia the least doubt the accused should have the hanefit of that doubt, and partlonlarly where the reputation of a woman s at stake. It is better that a thoussud ‘‘sensations’” should bs suppressed than that one inno-. cent person should bo mado to sufter, Ix discussing the recent strike agalnat tho double-header method of running tralon, the Chlcago Herald esys that if cperating expenses must be reduced per- haps there are other directions in which the trimming could be done more justly and to better advantage. It advocates a lopping off at the top first, and 1ts re- marks on this subjzet coinclde with those of the Bee In regard to the recent re- ha. This ruling will be eqaivalent to an order to the ewners of the stock yards to retire from business. “Wo hope there is some mistake about this matter, but if action, A GOOD WORD FOR KEILEY, When Mr. Koiloy was appointed min- ister to Italy some one forthwith raked up an old epesch which he made in Rich- mond somo years ago, denouncing King Vicar Enmanuel as a tyrant and usarper and declaring the occupation of Rome by the Ttallan forces to be an sct of oppres- slon of the pyps and the church, epeech was republished and commented on from Malne to Californis, and publlc opinlon—influenced by leading papers doraed by the country press as s usually the case — was moulded agalost Mr. Kolley, snd with al- most one accord the people sald that Mr, Kelley was not a proper person to represent this country at the government, aud the result was an intl- matlon that Mr, Kelley would not be re- celved, although King Victor Emmanuel had climbed the golden stalrs and been Keiloy, rather than take the chances of being snubbed by the son of Victor Em- manuel, restgned biy appointment, Soon sfterwards he was appofnted minister to Austria, and now lo! and bahold! that country rejeots Mr, Kelley because, for- #ooth, of the frlendly relatlons existing between Italy and Austrla, If thers over was a flimsy excuse for rojecting a minlster this is one. Mr. Keiloy, who has been driven from plllar to post, and has been made the target of heavy edltorials and tho sharp. shooting paragraphs of would-be wits threughout the length and breadth of the land, returns to Amerlca a very much abused man, And now we are told that It is understood at the state department that Mr. Ketley’s career as a diplomatist is at an end, so far ss this adminlstration Is concerned. If this is trae, 1t fs only adding insalt to injury But whether Mr, Kelley fs. provided with a forelgn berth or not, the adminls- tration wiil be lacking in back.-bone if it does not say to Avstrla that she must ac- cept Keiley or no one, gnd that If she doos not accept him she must withdraw her minfster from this country, It does lock as If the admintstration Is yielding too mush to the cflete momsrchics of the old world, and bending the knee to roy- ally.

After the Piegaus of Montana had bzen subdued and broken in spirlt by the United States army and the Crows, their traditlonal enemies, they devoted them selves fir a time to money-making. K/~ ery one of them worked like a beaver, and for a tmo it seemed as though they were to hicome a tribe of Indian Cue- suses, but the Inhuman neglect of con- grees, or of somebody fin authorlty at Washington, by which they wero de- prived daring one cold winter of the necessarles of life, reduced them to star- vatlon, aud tho fow members of the tribs who had exhibited a disposition to buy and sell and trade were overwhelmed with the common sflliction. One of the most prominent of this class said, whea spoken to recently: ““No use. White mm hog. Whits man take heap everything. Me no play poker. 'White man hols heap too good hand.” The Columbla river Indiane in Oregen are thrifty and Intelllgent in many waye, but their materlal progross is sad!ly ro- tarded by a ntrange superatition wilch they have relative to land.

A few of the mera advanced appearad to bo wil- ling to make the purchase, though evi- dently harrasted by doubis and foars, bat they finally backed out. It after- wards transpired that the tribe has al. ways neld as a religions principlo that it was sinful to traflic in land, as 1t amount- ed to the same thing as dealing in huamen flesh. Their God had given them tha land to live on, and if they they did not like ono place they wonld go to another.

Mahai on the bar- baric throne of the Soudan, Mexico hus apparently found her Mahdi in tho per- ecn of Jose Marla Csjeme, who holds o feoptra of terror over Soncrs, as the Mo. hammedan chieftain does over the Sou- dan.

Tae baptismal waters of Catholicism from the hands of the adventurous [ialian mlssionary Father Romanni rested on his head when a boy in the town of Navajos. From earliest boyhood Csjsme tock to the chase, and refused to work on a farm when he could scour the deep forests with his bow and arrow.

Littla by little Cajome acquired popularity, and the Iadian camps soon became too nar- row a theatre for two such men.

Tho men seom to acce t the chango 8y somothing that canuot be avolded, but hopo that prosperlty will 800n restore the work to its normal vol- ame, 80 that the old hours can be re- adopted. Some of the men claim that the company has been rushing its work ahead to be better prepared for a strike, in case the employes shou!d dacide upon one when the hours were redaced. It is not probable, however, that any etrike will tako place. A reportor who quos- tloned s number of the men tound that while there 13 a good deal of grum- bling among the men on account of the change, especially among those whose wages have hitherto been the lowest, there appears to be a sentiment that to inaugurate a strike would be folly. As one man cxpressed himself to a reportor to-day: ““There are not the slightest gronnds for & belief that we men wiil strike on ac- count of this reduction to eight hours, We will stand the change as best we can. Thers is cne thing, however, that ls cer taln, 1t the company had reduced our wages, & strike would have beea inevit- able, General Manager Ca'loway expresses bimself s of the opinion that businers will revive 8o that In about two months the men can be put upon thelr old work- ing hours. The reduction, he caid, ex- tended to all the company’s shops, and wonld affost all the 1,500 men employed therein, cutting down the expsnaes sometking like $100,000. The reduc- tlon will diminlah the expanzes iu tho Omahia shops about $10,000. OLOSING THE SALOONs | The Mayox's Order Goes Into Effect —Marshal Cummings' Qomplaint Against Higgias. Magyor Boyd's order closivg the saloons at midoight went into effect Tuesday night, and pretty thorooghly enforced by Marshal Cammings and his men, The Senate, McTague’s, and other chop- houses of the clty closed at midnight, saying that 16 did not pay to runa ree- taurant after that hour, unless liquor could be sold. Marshal Commings says that Higglns dld ot quit selling Liquor at 12 o'clock, a1 did the other sloon kespers. He had men watching the place, who say that while Higgins closed his doors at mid nigh', and pulled down his curialns in the most desorous mauner possible, lguor flywed as fresly after as befure the clostng hour, The manner of procedure,!t is alleged, was to send the liquor up stalrs to the sacond story, whers It was dlspensed to the thirsty souls, The bar below was strlotly screened from vlew by curtains, though the policemen watching the case clsim that they could hesr the clink of glasses long after the hour when *'grave- yards yawn, eto.” Yesterday [Varshal Cummlngs ex- pressed to Juage Stenberg his deslre to fila a complaint agains: Mr. Higglns, charglog him with disobeying the mayor's order, The judge advissd him, how- ever, to procure farther evidenca bafore taklog this step, Capt. Sullivan eald yesterlsy thatle thouzht the best thing tust could be dor e would be to raid the place and secure evi- dence as positive s could be desired, Mr. Higelos in conversation with a reporter y sieray, sald thut hs cloted his saluon promptly at midight, and knew nothing of any liquor being sold exzept by the bottle afier _that hour. If he chose to keep his curtaine down 80 as to sercen his bar room it his own affiir, He Got It a Lady, swer a oharge of passing ocounterfei! money. His caso had been tranaferred from the pollee court. “I did not know the dollar that 1 passed wes counterfeit, your hovor,” he pleaded, I re- ceived it from a young woman whom | thought was all right, and T had no Idea that | was doing wrong whon I passed the money."
