In is estlmated that there are over one thousand emallpox oases In Montreal. The extensive apread of the disease ia ac- counted for by the fact that the great ma- jority of the French.Canadians arestrong- 1y opposed to vacclnation. Tur greenbackers, antl-monopolists and Albany Independents of New York have called a convention to nominate a gov- ernor. A comblnation ticket of this character will add somewhat to the in- terest of the campaign in the Emplre State.

Nevertheless, the bricklayers of Omaha, who struck upon Intormation leading them to believe that it was convict-cut stone, have convinoed contractors that it wlll ba useless to introduce convict stone into this city. Tuey do things by wholesale in China, Not long ago twenty thousand celestials were reported drowned by a flocd, and now comes & report that ten thousand christians have been massacred in Ton) uin. We question if thero were ever ten thousand christlans In Tonquln, and at the samo time we duobt the flood story. Both reports evidently emanated from some lying Chinese news reporter, who Is endeaving to build up a reputation in hopes of having his salary raised. Tae altuation ia Spain, as depleted In qur despatoher,is certainly hoart-rending, and 1t 1s growing werze from day to day. The mortality is perhaps unprecedented in the history of the plague from the earllest times. The cholera has found Spaln a very frultful field for its ravages, owing to its ineffizient dralnage, and the reckless disregard of the laws of health, Owing to Ignor- ance and prejudice of the great mess of the population the authorl- tles have had the greatest diflicultyin en- forolng sanitary regulations, which in an enlightened country like the United States would be voluntarily adopted with. ont any heeltatiou upon a mere sugges— tlon, The pestilence {s spreading rapid- 1y throughout southern Europs, particu- larly along the Mediterranoan, while 1t is slowly werklng northward, The indlea- tions are that 1t Is likely to make its ap- pearance any day upon the Atlantic sea- board of this ciuntry, unless the greatest precaut!ons aro taken, The time for san- itation Is not after the plagne comes, but before, and it Is hoped that overy city in the land will at once thoroughly clean up, and keep itself in a cleanly corditicn, T~ a recent isue of the Ber there ap- peared a letter from our Lincoln corres- pondent making varlous charges agslost Chester B, Davis regarding his profes- slonal competency and skill as a clvil en- glneer, and aleo bis business mothods, The letter was published In the bellef thac o sorvice was beiog done for the public good of Lincoln in warnlng 1t to be care- ful to whom 1t let contracts, Since then wo have bzen convinced that Injustice was done Mr. Davls, a thlog which the DBee regrets, as it s not oar Intention to koowlngly and wilfally do injustice to ary one, In a letter which Mr, Davis publishes in th's fisze of the Bee he makes & showlng In bis own behalf altogether difiirent from that which was presented in our Lincoln correspondence. We have reion to bo. live that the statements of Mr, Davls are trae, His former employers in Omaha, the waterworks compeny, speak In high terms of him, both as to his professional ability and his personal Integrity, The olty authorities of Linccln, who have oarefully investigated the charges mado sgsinet him, are satisfied that the Bep W s mistaken in regard to him, and they ! bave since expreesed their c.nfidense in Mr, Davis by awardiog to him the con- trac: for putting in em of ranitary Bewerage, DOWN WITH THE FENOES, It is estimated that there are over 4,000,000 acres of the publiec domaln fl- legally fonced In by the cattlemen., Ja Nebraska the Brighton Ranch company has 126,000 enclosed; Coe & Oarter have filty miles of fence; J. W, Wilton ban forly miles; J. W. Bosler, twenty miles; the Kennebeo Ranch company has from 30,000 to 50,000 acres; and the Dakota Stock company has 60,300 acres enclosed, with forty-two sallesof fence. Accord- Ing to the reports of special agents of the Interfor department, fraudulent en- tries of land have bsen extenslvely made within the enclosures by the procure- ment and in the Interest of stockmen, largely for the purpose cf controlling the sources eof water supply. It has been stated from tlme to time that the lands thus enclosed are not fit for agrloultaral purposes and never will be taken for homesvead purposes. This may be partially or wholly trae in some sectlons of the west, but It is not true with regard to Nebratka, The lands in thls state are nearly all In demand by homesteaders who have been prevented by threats and force from taking up homesteads In that quarter of the state where these illegal enclosures exist, It is shown by extracts from letvers and re. ports that this fencing In of publlc laads 1s an injury not only to the settlement of the country, but to the farmers, who have prectely the same right torun their cattle on the government lands as the companies which fence them In, and aleo, it appears, these fences are an obstruction to highways. As long ago as April, 1883, the attentlon of the interlor department was called, by a mail oontractor on the route from Plum Creek to Arnold, to the following conditlon of affairs: “In the Loup River Valley, of Custer county, Nebraska, are large cattlo ranges, en- closing hundreds of acres of government londs, with barbed wire, regardless of section or even township and I must drive through such gates as they chooze toputup, in order to get to the post oflices, having often to leave unruly horses to open and shut their so-called gates in all sorts of weather, What 1 wish to know s, can I compel those partios, through youc aid, to open section lines and let mo through without going several miles out of my way?” The demand for thess lllegally-enclosed lands is shown by numorous letters to the Interlor department, of which the follow- Ing iz a falr sumple: BeLuNon, Neb,, March 19, 1883 Sir:—There are thousands of acres of gov- ernment land north of Ogallala, on North Platte river, good for farming, and I have twenty-five or thirty farmers that would like to sattle there, but the cattle men have fifty miles fenced up on Healy creek and the school land also. Now, to settle onand farm the land must we fight them with Sharp’s .45 or will government protect us! I mean business. J. JUDEVINE. This land I can irrigato—all of it—from Cedar and four other creeks that come cut of the sand-hills from the north, The immense tract ecclosed by the Brighton ranch company fvcludes valu- able farmlpg lands, and a report ofa special agent fs on file in the interlor de- partment to that effect, Mr. Virgil Allyn, manager of this ranch company, swears that the lands are non-productive and unfit for agriculture, and only fit for ttock raising. Inasmuch as thelands are located in the Loup valley, it is only necessary to say that Mr. Allyn elther doesn't know what he is talking about or else he has wilfully misrepresented the lands, Under all these circumstances the proclamation of the president, orderlng the enforcement of the antl-fencing law, has been hailed with delight by the thoueands of homesteaders who have up to thls tlme been prevented from locating upon them. It certainly was high time for the Issuance of such a proclamatlon, and the homesteaders can thank Secator Van Wyck, first, for his ettorts in eecuring the ant!-fencing law, and seoond, for his persistent urglng of the president to have it enforccd. The precident has ordered that the fences ehould be removed forthwith by the fed- eral authoritles, If not a* once removed by the trespassers themselves. Has United States Marshal Blerbower taken any steps In this dirsction in com- pliance with the president’s peremplory mandate?. If not, we would, in behalf of the homesteaders, llke to know the reason why? Hoe s the cfficer In whos> hands the execution of the president's order has been placed, and he is empow- ered to use the milltary, if necesiary, to remove the fercas. There 18 no reason why these illegal obstructions should re- maln another dsy upon the publis do- maln in Nebrask WANTED—MORE MANUFACTURES In order to sustain a large population Omaha must have moro menufactures, She has made a fair start in that direc- tlon, and nearly every manufacturiog and industrial concern that has been es- tablished in this clty has proved a suc- ces, This s true of the emeliing works, the linseod oil mill, the distillery, the krewerles, the nallworks, the shot tower, the white lead works, carrlage fastorles, cracker factory, and other in- elitutlons, many of which wero started at an unfaverable perlod, when coal and labor were high, thes state was thinly populated, and our re- sources only parlially developed. Now fuel and labor are chesp, the clty hus a population of 60,000, and will soon have 100,000, while the state has over 700,000 acd fs bound to have a mil- lion before 1890, and it is rich in agricul. tural resources. Uander thees circum- sta ces Omeha certalnly affurds asplendld field for a grest varlety of manufacturer, and there,is no good resson why we ¢hould not have them within the next two or three years. All that is necessary is a proper effort to Induce manufac turers to locate in Omaba. This 1s a duty Ithu upen the board of trade. body shculd thor- devolves That Aot YOI B HRLRINRT A T oughly dissnss this subject and adopt some systcmatic means of lrqu'ry among eartorn manufacturers with a view ) ae- cortain what enconragement is necessary to Induce rach as we want here to locate in Omaha, The board should devise some meana of setting forth our nataral advantsges and especlally onr superior location, commanding, as 1t does, a vast extent of torrltory. Some very extensive manufacturers might be found who would be willing to come to Omaha if some bouus, sufficient to cover the ex- pente of removal, were given them. Sach a bonus, !n the case of a manufaoturer employlog & hundred workmen, would prove a profitable invest. ment. This plan has been adopted by other western citles, notably Kansaa City and St. Joe, the latter of which s about to glve a bonus of §40,000 tosn extonsive stove manufacturer in consider. tion of his removal from Qaincy, Tllivols, to St. Joo. Besldos endesvor- ing to induce eastern manufactarers to come to Omaha, our board of trade should agltate the organization of manu- factoring companles among our home capitalista, who, If they comblne, can acromplish wonders In this direction. What has been done so far in Omaha hes been the result of the efforts of home capltallsts, There is very little forelgn capital Inverted in the manufacturing and Industrlal {ostitations of this clty. In this respect Omaha Is unlike Kansas City, 8t. Paul and Minnespolls, in which plecas there la an enormous amount of eastern capltal invested In factorles, mills, packing houses, banks, and wholesale houses. Among the Industries which one would naturally enppose would psy In Omaha is the manufastare f flour. Strange as It may. seem there {s not a flonring mill in Omsha. We ship our wheet to the east, and Import our flour, thus paylag o double freight tax on the bread wo oat, whilo the fact s wo ought to manufao— ture not ornly flonr for home consump- tion but for export, There is a splended ' market for thle product throughout the vast territory to tho west of us. If extersive mills can be operated at Schuyler, seventy-five miles west of ue, where the shipping facllities are not equal to those of Omaha, and where fuel is higher, it would seem that flourlng mills ought to proveprofitable in Omaha, where we have good elavator accommo- datlons affording ample opportunity for the seclectlon and purchase of suitable wheat. Nebraska spring wheat Is ranked ameng the best raised In this country. It is largely shipped to Minneapolis and there made into *‘winter whea flour or shipped eist from there as Minnesota wheat. Water-power Is not necessary for the operation of flouring mills, Steam 15 now being used as the motive power in some of the Minneapolis mills. It therefora strikes us that a large steam flonring mill woald pay in Omaha. Itis an enterprise that certainly ought to be glven a fair trial. The same Is true of an ostmeal mlll, Nebrasks ralses oats in sbundance and of the best quality, avd yet we keep on exporting them in- steed of utllizing them ot home, Cat- meal Is a popular article of food, and lts manufac.ure is sald to ba quite profitable. Instead of importing it we ought to be manuofacturing 1t for the trade that is tributary to this clty. That can- ning establishments would yleld a handsome return on the capltal invested there 15 no doubt. So also would atarch fretories. | Nebraska ranks first among the corn tes, yet there Is not a canning establlsiment or a starch factory in her commercial metro- polls, Nebraska iy a great sheep ralsing state, but there s nota woolen mill in Omaba. Our wool is all sent csst and the tariff apon this product is timply oul- rageoue. If a woollen mlill wero starced in Omaba it would not only prove profit- able to its owners, but It would be of In- calculable benefit to the farmors of this siute, Auother industey that would find a splendld openlng here is & tannery, now that stockyards and slaughter houses have been established, and thero s an abund- ance of hides, There,are several other Industrles that could be eztabliched in connection with the stockyards. Theee are a few of 1he industries that ought to be started in Omaha at an early day, aud it is hoped that the board of trade will bestlr Itself in this directlon, It is o waste of time to walt for the rail- roads to do anything towards building up this clty. Let us develop our own re- and when we have done that the will be only too glad to secure the friendshlp of Omaha by fair trest- ment, which ls all we ask, Ir now transpires that the reason glven by Austria why she would no! as- copt Mr. Kelley as the minlsterlal repre- sentative of 113 United States in because hls wife is s Jewess, and therefore not admissible to Austrian soclel efrcles, As Mra. Keiloy /s not the mintster of the Unlted States, and as Mr, Keiley was sent to Austrla to represent Its business Interests and not its soclal or religious in- terests we must esy that Austria has gone conalderably out of her way to find an an excuse to rejaot the unfortuvate gan. tlemen, snd at the same to a largo class of Amerlcan cit/zens on ag- count of theic religlon, By reason of Austria’s fllmsy excase therois a strong reaction in favor of Kelley, and the ten- tlmont that Austrla must accapt Kelley or no cne is dally gainlng ground, 1Itis to be hoped that ths administration will demonstrate to the Amerlcan people that 1t has as much backbone on this question as 1t has shown [n some other matters re- cently. Iun ths Unitod States » man's re. lgion is notquestloned, nefther is that of hiswife, Everycne Lbas the right to balieve and practice any religion that he may see fit, and 1L cer- talnly s an ack of impulent insult [ M presumplion on the part of Austrla to question the rellgion of Mrs, Keiley, and make her bejicf In the Jewlsh faith the ground for rejecting her husband. It s reliably statod that Secretary Bay- ard has written to Emperor Franols Joseph a letter informiog him that this republic not only does not recoguize, but h profound contempt for race or re- liglous distinctions; that, not recogalz'ng them ourselves, we cannot ba expected to conslder them, for the purpose of humoring other people’s prejudlces. Mr, Kelley was appolnted on account of his pereonal fitness for the place, If ho were diequslified in any of the waya recognized by liberal and enlightened people, the Unlted States would be glad to recall him; but ander the clrcumstances this government would simply Instruct not to go to Vienna, Mr. Bayard further lnti- mated that while the Austrian ambassa- dor would b treatsd with social and of- ficlal courtery mo long as he remained here, the United States government would not be offended if that gentleman wore oalled home. 8o far the attitude taken by Secretrsy Bayard is worthy of commendatlon, and no doubt will bs en- dorsed by the Amerlcan people, B Tre way smupgling is carried on in Oanada is Indleated by an advestisement in soveral Dominlon papers cffering for sale s farm in the province of Qaebec near the Amerfcan border, accompanied by this statement: “The stand is well- known to the Americans, and all kiads of goods, such as liquor, buiter, horses, grain, hay, etc, find »n easy channel in- to the states at all Imee. A good, active business msn oan clear his $100 a day, or night, besldes making on an average $10,000 a year of net profita,” It is rather slognlar that that honest farmer wants to sell hls property for $10,000 upon which he can make $10,000 in oune hondred days, Perbaps he s in the pen- ttentfary and wants to give some other honest farmer a good opportunity of gettiog there.

Mr. Dixon took hor and her two chil- dren back to his home, where they llved until he had a fine house ballt for them near his own, and there Fannle Eabanks and her mother lived untll Dixon’s death. He made his will and then tent for the family to como down to his house, to- gether with other witnesses, and informod them that ho had made his will, that no one but his Jawyer and hlmeelt koow what was in It, and that he wanted them to witness his signature. After signing the document snd having it properly witnestod ho eald that after hla death it would be asserted that he was not of sound mind, and he wanted thom to teat him and ces i his mind was clear. After his doath his vault was opened. A packsge of $25,000 in stocks and bonds was found with the name of the mother of Faunlo Eubanks written on it as the owner, Thls araount was not mentioned in the will in any manner, and the $25,- 000 was tarnad over fo the woman by the executors, It s nssorled by some that the will ought to be broken on sccount of Mr Dixon having sdvanced to hla brother $40,000 and taken s mortgago on nd to tecars the m. Hia the m 2led, and died with- ous_ e : up tho paper. As soon he died Dixon came in with the mor!- gago and took the land for debt. 1t fs aleo asserted that D xoa had no right to glve this malatto woman, although she was bis child, his landed estate, amount- ing to 17,000 acres of the best land in middle Georgla, as it will Injare those owning lands adjoining. The mother of Fannio Enbanks is a very qulet, incffensive woman, and when any of Mr. D.xon’s frlends vislted him she would walt on hie guests and never put heznelf formard. She always seemed to recognize the fact that ethe was a ser- vant. She would often vislt Sparta to trade, and some of Mr. Dixon’s triends, to whom sho would bring things from the plantation, would invite her to dinner. She woula alwaya profer having her din- ner sant to the kitchen, where she would eat with tho servante. e — A QUEER MILIYARY ORDER, General Sheriaan to Tesue a Command Decreeing a Subordinate’s Mar- risgo, Cincinnati Enquirer, Last evening on board the afternoon traln feom Colambus was private Willlam Wilson, of Company D, United States Infantry, stationed at the Columbus Bar racks of Instructfon. Ocders from the general commanding the regular army may sometimes be deemod pocaliar by his inferior officcrs, and ia this particalsr in- stance the order is nelther more nor less thanthat Wilson ghall marry a young lady of this city with whom ramor says b e had been unduly intimate prlor to his last enlistment.

Whon ho had concluded, Ganeral Grant ssked: “‘Mr. Bross, I understand you are the managing editor of a great paper in Chicago?”’ *‘I an, afr,” respond- od tho doacon, in hls most pompous man- nor. ‘‘Now, ain’t you afraid the business of your paper may be neglosted during your absence!” Ed tor Bross evidently colnelded with that view of the case, took an Illinols Central train for home, and never alter appeared in the role of mili- tary adviser. ——i—— MALARIA provented and thoroughly eradicated by Durky's Punk MALT WHISKAY .
