Omaha, Nebraska, " “Tue state democratio conventlon has been called for October 15th, at Lincoln, Nrw York started out to ralse a mil- ilon dollars for a Grant monument. So far she has only raised $75,000. It will be reveral years befora the milllon mark is reached. Azaxr Busm, the sSslem (Oregon) banker, does not deny that he Is the person who wrote to the presldent de- nouncing one of hls judlclary appolnt- ments, The latter Is now believed to be Judge Donne of Alasks. JoNN L, SuntivaN has made $157,000 out of pugllism, but he squandered every cent of it, and 1s £16,000 in debt. No man of his stripe ever hac better op- portunliles to make an immense fortune, but if he keeps up the galt he has been traveling he will die a drunkard and a pauper. BucHANAN, the absconding Loulsvillo whisky king, is making money at his hotel near Windsor, Oanada, to which he adds the revenue from a roller coaster and beer garden, He fs also bulldinga theatre, and having a good time gen- erolly, Itishard to keepa good man down Iz Cansda, Exonry Storrs, the talented lawyer who dfed in Chicago, mado a great deal of money, but be spent It faster than he made it. He seemed to have no idea of the value of money, and 1t is eaid that he did not leave enough to pay his faneral expentes, which were defrayed by con- tributions from his friends. Tur Chinese at Rock Spriogy say that fully 500 of their number are willing to leave at once. Then why doesn’t the Union Paclfic let them go, and thus end its coal mining troublea? Or does It pro- pose to force a bltter and costly fight by forcing the Chinese to rewaiu? 1fit does, 1t will not get any smypathy. TaE proper way for the Union Pacific to settle Its Wyoming trouble 1a to imme- diately abandon the employment of Chiznese. By forcing the Ohlnese back Into the mines it will elmply force a fight that will cost it more than it would be able to make up by Chinese labor for the next five years. Viewing the matter from a busine:s stand point alone, it will e & wlse thing for the Unlon Pacific to employ no Chinese. There is no scarclty of white Amerlcan labor. Tae Grand Army plan of ralsing a Grant monumental fund, as suggested by COommander-in-Caief Burdette, will no doudbt be heartily appreclated by the boys1a blue. The small cum of fifteen cents s all that !5 asked from each mem- ber of the organizition, the amount to be appropriated from the funds of each post. This lsa very practloal way of quickly ralsing the money with which to erect & handeome monument, The Grand Army monument will probably be the firat erected, and the location will very likely be at the capital, Gen. Howanp s an alarmist, He has filled the Z7erald with predictions of war, in which he will commsnd 3,000 men, The enemy that Gen. Howard al- ready sces In tho distance Is the organ- fzation known ss the Kn!ghts of Lavor, He hes a keen eye, aud can sre farther than most men. The IJerald advisis the Kunlghts of Labor *‘to avold armed oorflict, such es 1t seems Io feared.” Gen, Howard and the ZZerald bave eimply wade themselves the laugbing stock of the Knights of Labor, who are by no means the warllke body that the tlmid editor and the commander of the depait. ment of the Plstte would have us be- minates!” 1s & questicn thet has been frequently discussed, Had it been asked fif y years ago the answer would have been that & mile In two mioutes was slmply an fmpoeslbllity, but to-day 1t is consldered amopg the possibilities of the near futare, In 1818 when Boston Blue wade a mlile In exactly three minutes—on & bet of $1,000 that no horss could be produced which could trot a mile in less than three minutes—It wes regarded as a wonderful feat, Now three mioutes 1s ordinsry time for the average roadster, aud the 2,40 of only a few yoars sgo Is consldered slow time fcr a trotter, Since Tom Gallant trotted & mile in 2:40 in 1820, the record has been steadily re. duced by Burster, Edwin Forrest, Flore Tewple, Dexter, Goldsmith Mald, Rarue, St, Julien, and Maud 8, The lowest rec- ord, that of Maud S, & mille In 2:0¢6§, is liable to be reduced by the que:n of the tu:f bereelf, It !s a reduction of nearly a wirute from whet was oncs covsidercd the fasteat tlme, but It must be admitted that t) reduce the record from row on will raquirs the wost favorab'e condl. lonx, GEN. HOWARD'S WAR CLOUD. Gen, Howard says that any atiempt of .|the Rock Springs miners to destroy .| Unlon Paclfic property or to stop the the malls from ranning will bs met by a strong reslstance on the part of the gov- ernment through its military forces. That is perfectly proper, but Gen. How- ard need have no feara of the mails belng interfered with, and there Is but little danger of any destractlon of property. He ought to know that the troops are not at Rock Springs so much for that purpose as they are to aot asa pollce force in assistiog the Urion Pacifio In its attempt to overawe the white minersand foros them to submit to the old system of emyloying Chinese labor. No matter what the merits of the controversy may be, these are the faols. Gen. Howard inlimates throngh the ZIlerald that should a strike co- our along the entire line of the rond, that he will have exclusive control, as {t Is within his jurlsdlction, and that he can call Into actlve nervice at short no- tloe 3,000 men, to protect the road and ita property. The general may have jurladiction In Wyoming, which is a ter- ritory, bat before he swings his army {nto line into Nebrassk the state authorl- tles may have something to say about it. When the clty, county and state authorl- tles, including the millitla, cannot take care of the situation In Nebraska it will be time for Gov. Dawes to call on Pres!- dent Cleveland to direct Gen. Howard to take the field. It s ot very likely, however, {hat any such emorgency Is going to arise, even if Gen. Howard dees imagine that ho sees a war- cloud rolling up from the west. Lot Gen. Howard take care of Wyoming, and Ne- braska will try to take cara of its:lf. We want no tayonet rulo In this state. So far as any strike 13 concerned, wo do not belleve that a general stelke Is contem- plated, and even If it should cceur, Gen. Howard ought to know by this time that the rallroad workingmen of Omaha are a poaceable class, and would under no oircumstances maliclously destroy prop- erty or even distarb the pexce of the com- munity. FOREIGN LOANS. The New York capltalists who reject- ed the proposition of making a loan of $40,000,000 to the Chinese governmert to be used In rallway constructicn in the celostisl emplire, and allowed the Chinese agents to go to England, where they suocceeded, made a serlons imistake, Had this loan been made In the United States, our capltallsts would have had an option upon $300,000,000 Chinese gov- ernment bonds to be issued within five years, The proceeds of the loan of $40,000,000 were to be invested In rail- road {ron, locomotives, and other supplies THE DAILY BEE--FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1885, tlon of this vast amount of stealings can be recovered is rather doubtfal. No state In the union ever endowed its sohool fan? as liberally as Texas. About one-halt of the vast territory of that state was tot as'de for the benefit of the school fand, which has been so outrageously plundersd, By the way, how much Is Nebraska’s school fand being benefited by the rchool lands in this state! Is not our echool fund belng robbed ln a genteel manner? The lands are bsocom- ing valuable, and they should be pro- duclng o handsome revenuo for the school fund, but we are afraid that the glve-away system of leasing that has been adopted will prevent them becomlng of any great value to the school fand for & great many years, MISFITS, Still another *‘rascal turned Into office” has been discovered In the person of Theodoro Tyrer, of Albert Les, Minne: sota, who has been glven a poaltion in the treasury department at Washington. Ac- cording to the St. Paul Pioncer Prese, Tyrer, while engaged In the patent medi- cine busiaess In Buffalo, N. Y., was ar- rested for forgery. Pleading gullty, he waa sentenced to five yeara'imprisonment In the Auburn penitentlary. He was patdoned by Governor Tilden In 1875, and then went to Albert Lea, Minn. In October, 1881, he was Indlcted on ten different counts for forgerles committed In Minncsota. He pleaded gallty to two of them end was sent to prlson at Still- water for four yesrs, being released last May on ascount of good behavior, It is acaerted that Tyrer owes his appointment personally to President Cleveland, whom he knew in Buffalo. Still another “mlsfit” {s W. E. Grubb, who has just been commissioned to take chargo of the public bullding at Frauk- fort, Ky. A dfspatch to the Clnclunati Commercial Gazet!e says that four sepa- rate Indiotments are now pending against Grubb {n Boyle county, Kentucky, where he llvea. The procession s also Increated by Samuel Marley, the new postmaster at Bridgeport, Indlana. A letter in the Indisnapolis Times says that he was ar- rested in Indianapolis In1872 as a deserter from the regular army, was convicted by court-martial, and sentenced to one year at hard labor. He was pardoned, how- ever, and in 1873 went to housekeeping with his wife. Marley soon afterwards was sent to the penitentlary for five years for robbing his wife's slater of 842, a gold pen and a gold ring. He changed his plea to guilty, and thus had his sentence reduced to two years. At the end of a year, however, Govornor Hendricks par- doned him, Th's ls, indeed, a fine record for an offislal now holding a poeitlon of trust, to theamount of two-thlrds of the total, and the remsining one-third, $13,000,- 000, was to be psld in silver to the financial agent of the Calnese govern- ment to pay the laborers required in the constructionof the roads. Auother prop- osltion, which was also rejected, was that the New York capltallsts should take the contract for the conetruction and equipment of the road at & stated price per mile, the Chiness government agree- ing to furnish the labor and paying the contractors at Intervals, in twenty year 6 per cent bonds. Had the overcautlous Amerioan capitallats taken hold of th's enterprise the ircn Industries of thiscoun- try would have been stimulated by $27,- 000,090, and thirteen million eilver dol- lars would have gone to Chlns, tobo fol- lowed by many millions more. Now comes snother opporiunity of & eomewhat si r nature from Mexlco, and it remalns to be seen whether our bankers will take advantsge of it. Mexlco winis §25,000,000 and Is willlng to take it ell in silver dol- lars. It {s true tkather finances ars In poor condltion and her credit with Ea- gland {s ruined, but she expects to recu- perate in a few years. In csse Mexico oan securs this loan in the Unlted States, and if our government will lend its guar- antee to the payment of the interest and prineipsl, Mexico will, in conslderation of sush guarantes, glve our exporters ex— traordinsry conceesions in the way of ro- If all the ‘‘misfits” of this character couid be mustered into a line the length of the procession would be slmply aston- ishing. J. STERLING MORTON in his call for the s'ate democratic con ention eays tkat it 18 the especlal business cf the conventlon to name certain candidates, and “then do generally euch other thing as may by & majority be deemed advisable for the better organ!zition of the democracy of the state.” We suppose that by ‘‘such other thing” Mr. Morton mesns an effort to sit down on Dr. Miller, and to devise some new method of diepensing federal patronage in Nebrasks. It looks very much as if that convention is golng to have a monkey and parrot time. E—— Tue Herald, which has always bsen such a great friend of the workingmen, kots up a great howl over the council’s rejection of Con. Lrary as a member of the board of public works. When Dan. Sulllvan and Pat, Lynch were defeated for street ccmm'ssloner the Herald did not have a word to eay, although they were representative workingmen—much more 50 than Leary, But they wera not Uwion Paclfic boeser, which fact explalus the ZZerald's silence in regard to thelr rejectlon by the counell. — IN a preiended interview the /Zerald reeka to ccnvey the idea that *‘there are s good mavy (Unlon Paclic workingmen) dootion of dutlee. If this arrangement 1s consummsted it will cextainly open up » field for the American silver dollar and glve to our exporters end manufacturers the monopoly of the trade of Mexlco. Sho ls a nelghboring republic, with rich resources acd good prospects; if her affairs sre properly handled, and we would not be surprired if she succeeded in her effort to secure the detired loan in the United States, WuATEVER may be the desire of the clty councll or the board of publlc works in regard to letting contracts, the matter is wholly governed by a charter provls- ion, which eays: “*All grading, paving, macadamizlog or gutterlog of any streets avenues, or alleys, in the clty for which, or any part thereof, a epcolal tax shall be levied, shall bs dons by contract with the lowest responsible bidder,” This makes it compulsory upon the councll and bosrd of public works tollet all such contracts to tho lowest raiponsible bidders, even if he Is & non-resldent, and although such actlon is contrary to the wishes of the au- thoritlis, who should notbe held re- sponsible tor the charter under which they are acting. Tuae Galveston News recenily made the charge that forelgn cattle o:mpanies were occapying 22,000,000 acres of school lands In Texar, for which an anoual rent- al should have been ccllected by thestate land board, It smleo chsrged that tbe school fund had been robbed since 18756 of 12,600,000 acres of 'and, worth $25,000,000, These serious charges have haen Investigated by a epecla!

Anilusiration of how this matier Is carried on can best be described as follows: Through'a Mr. J. A. Borle and M. J. Sauders, the former sgont and the latter cashier of the Unlon Paclfic company statloned here, & Jittle echemo was fix:d up to let the coal confract to Henry Caowins, bszing previously advi:ed no doubt through thelr supeiise officers. Now Chowias buys this coal of them for $6a ton and retsils it here at $7.50 There are msny who could usp & sar-load at a time, but no one can buy 1t excopt through Ohowins and pay his outrageous price. The company should be made aware of the fact this fellow Chowins booghtabout fifry tons of screenlogs a few weeks ago from Fort Siduney at fifty cants s ton, and the question uaturally arises what did he do with 1t? We all have an idea and your readers can surmiso the rest. A pe- tition 18 now belng clrculated to the Union Pacific company asking that they reduce tho price of coal or that they will c:mpel Chowins to sell the coal at wholesale p:ice to partles de- riring a car load. With the continued prosperity of Sia- ney through the good results of the thrifty farmer, why should we be com- pelled to submit to the outrages perpe- trated upon cur people through thia ne- farious coal deal of the Union Paclfic railway? SUBSCRIBER, —— POSTAL PROGRES®, . Marvelous Strides of the Postal Servioe, Chicago Times. Thera is consiant progress in the postal department, if In no other department of the general government. Almost evary new pastmaster generaliecommends some improvement in the service, which Is adopted by congress. Recommendations by other cabinet ofticers are often never noticed by congress, while thoso wade by the postmaster general not only receive attention but are adopted, This prompt action ia probably cue to the fact that no party interestis involved in these pro- posed ohanges, while every person in the couniry Is interested in the chesp and speedy transmizsion and dellvery of mail matter. Unly thirty-efght years ago there were no postage siamps in uze in this country. The prepayment of postage on letters and pspers was opiuonal. Com- paratively few persons avalled themselves of the privilege of paying the pcstage on letters they sent away. As a rule, love- lotters wero the only omes on which the postage w8 gen- eally prepaid, Some persons in sendlog levters to bo matled gave wrlt- ten instructlocs to the postmarter to charge the postsge to them. The ma- jorlty of postmssters ia emsli towns *‘.rasted out” many letters, and cfien lcs: considerable muney by dolng ro. Some business men had all their postage charged to them, and eettled thelr ac- couuts with the postmaster as they dld with the butcher and grocer, once a month or at the end of a quarter, when it was necessiry to make returcs to the departinent at Washington, Some orre- ful but, after all, obliging postmasters notified persons when lesters for them were rccelved, bui rotained the lottera till the postage onthem was fortheoming. As small change was scarce, snd was chlefly of foreign coinage, there was ofien difficulty in obtaining letters from a post- cffice. They sometimes remslned a week sfter the person to whom they were ad- drvessed were advised of thelr recep: tlon. The first postage stamps were of the denominat ons of five and ten ocents, They wers priuted on large sheets, and separate stamps had to be cut off with a kuife or ehears, Thoy remained in use during four yesrs, when a redactlon of postaze mada the fssuing of other de- nominations necesssry, There was con- siderable opposition to the compulsory prepsyment of postage, but after a few yoors' tlme the opponentsof the measure bsoame reconclled to 1t. The poatal cari was very popular from the time it was firat lssued. It enabled porsons to read news to thelr friends from places where ft was difficult to obtaln eanvelopes, luk and psper. The free colleotion and de- livery of postal matter In large towns were regarded with favor when the messure was proposed, but many ballev- ed that they would ba attended with so groat expense that the plan would be glvea up after trlal, 1y was soon fouud, however, that the free collection and dis- tribution of letters rasulted In gain to the pos'offise depsraaent. Oa the firet of next month the plan for the immediate delivery of letters will go {nto effect. Only towns where the free- dolivery systern has been established, and those tbat had a popalation of 4,000 or over aseordlng to the last census, will daiive any benefit from it. Only letters that have @ specisl ten-ceut stamp 1o ed- dition to vhe ordinsry poetage stamp will be delivered imwmediately on thelr racep- tlon at the pesteffice by messengers, The d:livery of thess lotters will extend till widnigut, If the letters are reglstered they will reqalre two epeclal ten-ceut s'amp: io addition the regular .postage- s ump. Persons lvlng in the country can sead, though they osu not receive, lotters tasc are o be fmmedistely delivered. Tn the opinlon of meny, no very gr:st bon fi5, wiil be dertved from the imuwe ato-delivery aystem. They think few persons will keep specis]-delivory stamps and that st will be too much trouble te obtaln one when 1t Is wanted. In the business portine of most large citles there Is a regular dellvery of lstters tive times each day. There 1s no great delay In the delivery of letters In any portion of & town where the free-delivery system Is established, The delay Is In the trans- portation of le'ters from placs to placa. The telegraph insures not only the speedy dellvery but the speedy sending of mes— segos, Bat fow towns will have thead- vantage of the speclal or immediate de- llvery system, bat every town that con- talos & ratllway station has a telegraph office, It is likely that persons who have been accustomed to send meesagos by tel- egraph will continue to employ it. ~The cont of sending a telegrapbic message will be bat littie more than that of send- Ing an immediate-delivery letter, The day rates for sending twenty words from Meow York to Chlosgo are but twenty- five conts, while the night rates for the same number of words ara only filteen cents. Although much has been done for the beneft of people living in large towns In matter of collecting and dellveaing postal matter, nothing has been attempted for the benefit of those liviog In the country. The postoffice department has found that it pays to collect letters and papers from boxes distributed through largs townr. The experlment of collecting them from boxss placed near country churches, schosl houses, grocerles, and at the cross- ings of publlo ronds has not been tried. It might pay by Increesing the amount of matter sent throogh the maile. It wou'd certalnly be of great advantage to people living In the country. How Senator FPlumb Osaught the Smallpox, Cinciznati Commerc!al Gazette, Coming into Washington, abont the fir:t man I chanced to meet was Senator Plumb, of Kansas. The senator’s face is pitted from the effect of amallpox, though not to the extent of disfigurement, 1 will tell you how he came by these msrks, and in doing 80 I will tellyou n talo of raro heroism as it was told me by an old Kensas man who was personally cognl- zant of the facte. Meny years ago, when Plumb had just come to Kansas from Ohlo and settled at Emporis, he was poor and atraggling for a living, as were most of the other pio- neers about him. Oae day he drove to Lawrence with aload of producs. On his Way ho stopped et a llttle town to feed his team, and while there he learned that some Onio people had been there looking for a place to locata, and bad paseed on, leaving one of their number bakitnd who had been stricken down with smallpox. Some of the town people had carricd the slck man out of towntoa shed, aod left him there alone. Piuab sent his load of produce on, ard went to work to find some ons to take care of the man if it was found that he was atill alive. He found at last a man and Lis wife llving some distarcs from there who had had the dlseate, and agreed to take the lnvslld for good pay. Plumb then could get no team with which to transfer the sick man, and finally, ia |J desperatlon, seizsd one that was hitched in front of the s'ore. He got away a shoit diztance when he wes overtaken and tho team taken away. Finally, after perslstent effurt and pleading, and bitter denunclation of the people, he obtalned a tesm and crove to the shed and took the pocr plsgue-stricken cresture, dying alone of bis dlsgusting disease, In~ his arme, and drove with him to the home selected. He lef: all the money he had, and promlsed more when o could get it —for tho cae of the man {f be llved, and his burial if he died. Then he went on down to Emporla and had the amsll-pox Limeelf, and came very pear glviog his life as the sacrifica for that of the poor sirauger whose life he saved. That is the story of how Senator Plumb’s face came to b pock marked. — STATE SUPREME COURT, DECISIONS RENDERED SEPT. {0TH. Lawson vs, Gibson, Appeal from Lancaster County. Reversed and remanded.

More than 200 of the men are bachelors,ranging from 25 to 50. Red Bend s some distancs from a rail- road, and it hss been a very difficult matter to get young women to locate there. Most of the girls who cems fato this reglon stop at Yakims, or go thence to tho larger towns south of here. When the school house was built the directors advertised in various territorial papers fo eacher, and the first one who presented herzelf wasemployed. She bad not beon at the desk more than a fortnight before she was marrled to a rtore-keeper, nsmed Elverson, who was about the best looking young man in the town, She resigued her place, but oon- sented to serve untll her noccestor ar- rived. One of the young woman whom the committee had been in correzpondencs was found disengaged, snd in the course of & mon'hshe transforrod herself to Red Bend and took chargs of tae school, She was a tolerably homely women, some- what advanced in years, but she too, was led to the altar In less then & month, snd gave up the schocl s her predecessor had done, Oace again the place was filled, snd thirgs went aloog emoothly for a awnile, About that time McGinn, the tavern- keepor, lmported a servant glel from Portland, and pu’ her at work in his kitchen at a salary of $8 per week, Mra, MoGinn was not very lusty, and her hus- band found that the only way In which keeplng hotel was poestble was for him to have eflizient female help, He had had serfous trouble ln getting anybody to come, but the wages that ho offored fin- ally lnduced vhe girl epoken of to accept the job. She bad no more than learncd the ways of the kitohen befors two or three young men began to hang around tho back door of the tavern, McGinn was equal to the emergency, He watched matters for & day or two, and, becoming convinced thav the echool house ep's xdes were to have a repetition in hls own kitohen, he got a gan, and just as & young man appaared at the back door the next evening aftor supper he jumped out on him. “'What do you want here?” he asked. that In the futare all schosl tenshers should be made to mign s bond not to marry bafore the end of the tcrm. The 1den was accepted; but, foaring that the conditions m'ght make 1t impossible for them to get women in‘o the town, they sald nothing abcut them to the ons with whom they opsned negotistlons, 8She came on, aud after deciding to take the place, was fLformed of the contract she woald have to algn. To this she ladig= nantlosefased to acsede. The tchocl com« mittee was Inexorable, and 8o wis she, She said she would leave for home in the morning. T'he committeemen looked at ono another to see if anybocy was weakening, but no one appeared to be willing to give iu; 80 it was deolded that sho would have to go. This partioniar glrl was young and vivaclous, and when she started off with Sshool Dirsctor Beebs for Yakima the whole town wished sho would stay. An hour later Beebs drove Into town wlith the glrl stlll In his wagon, and to the people who gathered around’ the vehiclo with questlors, hs satd: ““The fact s we've declded to get marrled. She didn’t want to go back, and I dlén't want to have her go.” Everybody felt that Beebe had p'a:ed roots on everybody elso, but there ~as nothl-g to eay. At the next maetin . of the commlttes, which Baebe did no¢ wi- tend, Mr. Eldor again had an tdea which ho wanted to submit. He eald that in vlew of what had happened it occurred to him that Red Bend had greatness within its grasp. ‘‘Now,” he contlnued, ‘et us overatock thls market with schoolma'ams and rervant glels, Advertise for them every whore, ¢ ffer big wages, and hire all that'como. We'll got encugh after while to go sround, snd when wo co It we may bave a few on kand.” Thesaggestionwas dlscussed atconslder- able length and fioally «dop el. The school board declded to hire men teash- ers, and twenty of the married men in town sgeoed to teka tweaty-five ssrvant glels.

Six girla have married out of McGlnu's kitchen, and durlng the last twelve months there have been four- teen teachers of the littls echool.

The idea seems to have lain durmant for over one hundred years, wben it was taken up agaln by various Inventors, who sought at sandry timea to embody it in a machine that would work sutisfastorlly, but spparently without success until 1867, when a firm in Mil- waukee made a type-writer that was act- ually used. Improvements wera made from time {0 tlme, each one leadirg to another, when the Remingtons tock Lold of it and pro~ duced the standard mashine that {s now sold by the thousand all over the world.

They are naturally expert and ekillful in uslng the fiogeis, and they readily learn to use the type-wrlter with great rpeed. A number of schools have added 1t to their rajular course, and young men who learn to uae It had it fer easier to obtain situations, Charles Reade satd: *‘I ad- vise parenta to have thelr boys and girls taught short-hand writing and 1ype-writ- Ing.
