GexeraL Howarp, who has been on the anxious seat for some little time, will ~ be nominated as n major general to-day. Mg. PowpERLY is on the ground in Kansas City and the true inwardness of the great strike may be expected shortly to reveal itself. Gexerar Howanrn's headquarters will not be in the saddle although he will probably be assigned to Pope’s old com- mand at San A rrOMI business firm in Macon, Ga., controls the weather signals for that town. If the firm could only control the weather it could then render the people some signal servie ArosTLE CANNON evidently does not Zike the looks of the prison gates which are yawning for him. It 1s ramored that he has fled, leaving his bondsmen in Salt Lake to settle for his §45,000 bond. Tite following comment on high license 3n Nebraska, which we take from the St. Louis Republican, is pretty nearly true: “In Nebraska, under the high license Jaw, the number of saloons remains al- most stationary, while population goes on increasing mor iidly than ever.”’ SwiTZERLAND is about to pass a law making it a misdemeanor for any woman to wear corsets laced beyond a certain standard of tightness. The dispatches fail to state who is to gather the informa- tion upon which prosecutions will be ‘oased. DURING the Lauer trial womans® rights were asserted and recognized. The whole court room was pre-cmpted by the fair sex, and the only seats reserved were for the twelve jurymen, the judge, the prisoner and the attorneys. This shows what woman can get without the ballot. Disparcies from Washington confirm what had already been foreshadowed by ‘ our advices. General Howard's name will be sent in to-day to the senate for the major generalship made vacant by Pope's retirement. The president has after all decided to allow seniority the preference as a claim for promotion. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is drifting daily wider and wider from his party. So far from harmonizing the differences in the democratic lines he has increased every gap in the ranks. The majority in con- gress and the president are in harmony upon scarcely a single issue. The demo- cratic administration is paving the way for a speedy return of the republican party to power. CAvLIFORNIANS think David S. Terry, who killed' Senator Broderick, will be appointed to succeed Senator Miller. Terry is the lawyer who married his cli- ent, Sarah Althes Hill, the woman who recently acquired a national notoriety, owing to the Sharon-Hill divorce suit. The appointment of Terry to the United Btates senate will be another great boom for Sarah Althea. THE sale of the Morgan art collection, which cost Mrs. Morgan about a million . dollars, will foot up nearly two million dollars, It was aid only a fow weaks hat Mrs, Morgan was a fool, and that her collection would not sell for one- tenth of its cost. A good many people will still continue to think that she was n foolish woman, and a great many more will think that the purchasers at the ro- ®en t auction were more foolish than ever sho was.

The announcement that the eable sys- tem of propelling street ears is soon to be inaugurated in Omaha assures this city in the near future a valuable improvement in the line of rapid transit. The steady advance of Omaha westward along the hills that rise from the river and extend into the country beyond the city limits has been one of the interesting teatures of our growth of the past five years. Level ground has not been valued so highly as high and breezy loca- tions, and the wplateau outside of the business portions has received less attention from those seeking locations for homes than the streets which climb the hills. The greatest settlement has been towards the west where the facilities for rapid transit have peen the least. Hills offer great difficulties for horse car lines to overcome, and in one direction at least the time gained over that made in walking 1s trifling. The cable cars pos- sess the advantage of being operated with eqaal facility on level or rising ground. Steam power takes little account of Thills which would stagger horseflesh. The engines which propel the endless cables to which the cars are attached can overcome grades twice as steep any which we have on our Omaha strects. In point of speed the eable earsare aisogreatly supe- ior to those on the ordinary lin The average rate of the Omaha horse cars is less than four miles an honr. The speed attained by the cable cars in other cities averages eight miles an hour, or exactly double. To a resident of this city whose home is & mile or more from his place of business this is an important considera- tion. There are disadvantages, however, as well as advantages connected with the cable car tem. Accidents to pedes- trians are more numerous. The grip is not so easily controlled as ha But with proper regulations and tions the dangers can be reduced to a small point. He Respects the Law. Jay Gould amnounces in an interview that he will not interfere in the strike on his southwestern system because it was inaugurated on a rond which is in the hands of the United States court, and he respects the majesty of the law. How long since Jay Gould acquired his respeet for the law and Ins reverence for the courts? He had not learned it in the days of Erie, when he scized the books of that corporation, and spent hours onn Hudson river ferry boat dodging the writs of the courts. He had not pro- gressed much further in his lesson when his corrupt association with Judges Barnard and Cardozo enabled him to use the bench to cloak his dishonest schemes for robbing the public. His decp respect for law had not yet been ac- quired when his lobbyists swarmed around the capital at Washington and besieged the general land office to fortify his occu- pation of the Union Pacific management. His admiration for impartial justice bad not reached its present enthusiasm when Judge Westfield in chambers ratified by a purchased decision the Manhattan ele- vated railroad steal at the great jobber's bidding. What hypocrisy in the veteran cor- rupter of courts and legislatures, the purchaser of juries and suborner of crime m high judicial places to prate about his respect for law. What knavery for a man who boasts that he puys for his law by the year to pretend to bow to the majesty of the courts whom he bas made his willing tools. Mr. Gould®sees nothing in the great railroad strike to call for hisinterference. He protests that he is powerless, eyen if he felt so disposed to correct the wrongs complained of. But no one knows better than the arch hypocrite who is now junk- eting in his million dollar yacht that a word from the controller of the South- western system wonld bring the great strike to a close. IN the midst of a speech said to have been one of the most eloquent and pow- ful ever delivered in a Nebraska court room, Mr. Thurston made a violent and bitter attack upon the press in general and the Omaka newspaper men in par- ticular, for their inflence upon public opinion and against his client. The oc- casion no doubt demanded Mr. Thurs- ton’s cloguent diatrabe. Although the jury had been secluded from the public L boris I .8 4} ant St out o fhe Infitence of the | newspapers, they cannot have been in- sensible to the atmosphere of a public opinion whose current has for months been so unfavorable to the prisoner. They breathed it on the court room. They must have seen it reflected on the interested faces of the spectators and in- terpreted its force from the speeches of the counsel. It was distinctly against the prisoner in jeopardy of his life. On that acoount was an element to be op- pesed by the counsel for the defense, For this reason, as we have said, the oc- casion demanded Mr. Thurston’s thun- derous sentences of denunciation against those who had assisted in forming, or were vesponsible in part for the mainte- nance of unfavorable public sentiment, But after admitting this there is some- thing elso to be added. It needed nothing more than the publication of the fact of the killing of Mrs. Lauer by her husband to arouse the public indignation which has steadily increased as all the details of their unhappy married life have become known. Public opinion is for- tunately opposed to all wife beaters. M. Thurston does not hiwself believe that the press was unjustitied in printing the news of the rupture which resulted from John Lauer’s brutality so muany months ago. The press was not responsible for his inhumanity; the press cannot bo charged with impropriety in giving its voadors the facts in a case which was al- veady of neighborhood notoriety, and the editors and reporters are cor- tainly in no way proper subjects for criticism in holdingup the mirror to the public and reflecting the lights and shadows alike, which have played oy this wretched tragedy of a short but un- Lappy life. Public opinion is nothing more than the orystalized judgment of individuals. 1t frequently reflccts pre- judice and cowardice aud hastily forme verdicts. But matured public opinion rarcly wanders from the truth. The P 5 but a singlo element in forming and in moulding it. In the present case it has presented the facts as gleaned and presented them so corveetly that the sworn testimony of the trial has varied littie from the story as given mouths ago by the industrious gleaners of the newspapers. Without excoption editorial comment has been noncommittal stnce the prisoner was ar. raigned for his crime. The evidence on both sldes has been prosented to the pub- lic impartially, and if the features of the scenes in the court room have intensified the fecling of public indignation, the faithful pen photographers cannot be blamed for the effect CovgrEssMAN Hamy, of Louisiana, who was found dead in his room in Waslington Inst Monday, wasa Bavar- jan by birth, but came to this country at | an early age with his parents, who lo- cated at New Orleans. When the war of the rebellion broke out he had just grad- uated as a lawyer. His sympathy was with the Union, and his loyalty would not permit him to take an oath of office requiring fidelity to the Confederate tes. When the Union forees arrivea in New Orleans Mr, Hahn at once took an active part in the reconstruction of Louisiana, and during the reconstruction days he was one of the most prominent men in the state. He was clected to con- gress, but not permitted to take his seat until February Tth, 1963, After the expiration of his congressional term he was appointed prize commissioner of New Orleans, He purchased and edited the New Orleans Daily Truc Della, in which he advocated emancipation. He was elected the first governor of Louis- iana as a tree state, and was innugurated March 4th, 1864, receiying from President Lincoln, on the 15th of that month, the additional powers of military governor. Having been elected United States sen- ato. in January, 1863, he resigned the oftice of governor, but did not press his claim to a seat in the senat EveRry effort to invade the Yellowstone National park with a railroad should checked by congress. A bill has been introduced to permit the con- struction of 2 railroad through the park, the excuse being that a road is ne to reach the Cooke mining district. Thi isnot a valid excuse, howev and it to be hoped that it will have no weight. If one railroad admitted to the park, other railroads will follow, and the result will be that its value as a national res vation and a resort for pleasure scekers will be destroyod. If there is a mining district of suflicient value to Ve a T road built to it, such a railroad can afford to take a circuitous route and leave the uninvaded. St. PaTrick’s day of 1886 was a glor- ious one for Ireland. Instead of expen- sive processions and wasted money, the reports bring news of large additions to the national funds, of the green and orange entwined, and of a union of Irish- men, regardless of creed, to advance the of securing the rights of the COURTNEY, the match king, died last week, leaving a fortune of $5,000,000 the result of thirty years engaged in mak- ing parlor matches. Mr. Courtney began business with a capital of §50. 'T'his is a striking example of the rapid accumula- tion of wealth by honest industry. HaVING decided to invest largely in railroads, it is to be hoped that China will be able to employ all her cheap John labor in their construction. There are several thousand in America who can be spared without the least trouble. RoscoE CONKLING is credited with making about 40,000 a year from his law practice. This beats politics, and ex- plains why Mr. Conkling has no desire to return to the political arena and bank- rupt himself. THE FIELD OF INDUSTRY. The Knights in Topeka; Kan., own their nall. The unionists of Lynn have $15,000 bank and intend to build a hall. Philadelphia has more hands employed in the knit goods industry at this time than at any other for years, Several Massachusetts and Maiife Woolen mill owners have voluntarily reduced the hours of labor from eleven to ten per day. A movement is on foot to have Michael Davitt, the Irish patriot, commissioned as an organizer of the Knights of Labor in Great Britain and Europe. Henry B.

If the perform- ance of Mrs, Sargeant, wife of the owner of the steamer which wrecked by a boiler explosion last week before Vicks- burg, are a fair sample of what women engaged in the river business can do in an emergency, they certainly appear to be well qualified for admission into the ranks of the captains as well as into those of the pilots.

One such, now in my mind, which is placed in a bend of the Heart river, could not possibly be surpassed as regards the romantic beiuty of its surroundings, My own hous stands on a bottom of the Little Missou nearly two miles in length, and perhaps half amile or over in width, from the brink of the current to the line of steep and jagged buttes that rise sharply up to bound it on the side farthest from the river, t of this bottom is open cov- ered only with rank grass and sprawling gage-bruch; but there are patches of dense woodland, where the brittle cot- tonwood trees grow close togethe and streteh their heads high in the air. The house itself, made out of hewn logs, is in a large open glade many acres in extent. It fronts the river with its length of si‘(lf’lm-l, and along the front runs a broad veranda, where we sit in our rocking-chairs in_the summer time when the day’s work is done. Within it is divided into s al rooms; one of these is where we spend the winter evenings at the time when the cold has set in with a Dbitter intensity hardiy known in any other part of the United State A huge fireplace contains the great logs of cedar uhd cotton-wood; skins of elk and dcer coyer the floor, while wolf and fox furs hang from the walls; antlers and horns are thrust into the rafters to serve as pegs on which to hang coats aud caps. dn the glade. beside the house, there are soeveral other buildings,—a stable, a smithy, and two or three sheds and out- houses, besides n lngh, circular horse-cor- ral, with a snubbing post in the center, and a fenced in garden patch.
