If the Nebraska petitioners who haye ap- pealed to congress for a national law against bogus butter would take steps towards enforcing the state law, they would probably accomplish the desired result much quicker than by waiting for congress to take action. A PETRIFIED woman having recently been found in northwestorn Nebraska, an exchange says that as further evidence of the remarkable geological richness of that part of tho state the fact that petri- fied fish and fowl have been found in many places is eited, and one man hving in Omaha has & petrvified human foot, found on the northern border of the state.

The arbitration Wil prepared by Chair- man O'Neil of the labor committee has sed the house of representatives nd is now before the senate for its ap proval. The text of the measure as already published was not materially altered from the form in which it came from the committee. Compactly stated the bill provides for arbitration between inter-state railways and their employes whenever such a settlenuent of differences is requested by either parties interested It provides for a board of three arbitra tors with the powers of a court for | subprnaing andswearing witnesses, with a senographer and clerk, all paid by the government for their services. T dec writing to the commissioner of labor and by him is to be made public It will be seen that the O'N a8 has been stated a measure intended to enforco avbitration. - It hasno provisions making arbitration compulsory in e of difterenees between the manage interstate railroads and their and there is nothing in the measure which will make the award of the arbitrators binding when their deci ren deved, Its only aim end object is to facilitate arbitrati a8 n menns for the pi ful settlement of such differences by furnishing an impartial court with means to secure all the testi mony bearing upon the case, and without expense to either of the part pneerned So far Mr. O'Neil's bill is a valuable one It makes arbitration a le, me possible remedy, under legal supervision independent of the avarice of employers, and heated controversy of employes. affords a jury whose verdict, while it will not be binding upon those who submit to it their differences, will yet wield a strong influence in determining the result.

In addition the arbi- tration bill would would be valuable in drawing attention to arbitration as a cheap remedy for the abu which it secks to remo The present strike has cost the country millions of dollars in lost wages, damaged vroperty and disorgan- ized trade.

No oflicer of the line was better known in Nebraska. It was in this state that he did gallant ser- vice for many years on the frontier in sting to bring peace and immunity from the horrors of Indian werfare to our settlers. It was in this e that he chose his home, to which cach month came he sent a por- tion of his pay for the support of a a crippled brother. It is not surprising that the gencral feeling throughout Ne- braska is one of intense indignation over the cowardiy nation of the dead sold! Thereis a crying demand on the part of our people that his murderers shall be brought to justice, and that the government, in whose uniform they masqueraded, shall pay a heavy in- demnity for the outrage. Captain Craw- ford was killed by treachery while in performance of his duties, as an officer of the United States, on Mexican soil in pursuarfce of a_treaty between the two governments. . The evidence is con- clusive that his murder was premeditated and carried out with the view of plunder- ing his eamp. If such an outrage had been offered to the flag of any other peaceful nation, prompt reparation would have been demanded and enforced at the mouth of the cannon. Captain Craw- ford owned Ncbraska as his state, His body will liein Nebraska soil. Nebraska' delogation in congress should press demand of our people for justice Crawford’s murderers and reparation from the government whose unitorm they wore, Mr. Lamar's Ruling. Sceretary Lamar’s decision on sus- pended entries, which overrules Mr. Sparks' ruling of April 15 of last year, will be read with great interest by the people of the wast who are affecred by its publication. The secretavy of the inte- rior decides that patents must issuc on a register’s certificate of tinal proofs in due course of business, and that the suspen- sion of the Issuance of patents until spe- ciul examination of proofs have been made, as contemplated in M. Sparks' order, was unwarranted in law and not in accordance with public policy. In the opinion of the seo- retary of the interior, the restrictions thrown around the homesteader and pre- emptor in the matter of final proof upon their elaims are ample to proteot the goy- ernment, if the oflicers of the local land oflices do their duty. The laws are ex- plicit as to their requirements, and the decisions of the land oflice on matters at issue in past cases ought to leave no r sonable doubt as to what does and what does not constitute compliance with the statutes. Thne government has the power at any time to revoke its patents on proof of fraud, and the statutes provide punish- ment for perjury. Mr. Lamar believes that the action of Mr. Sparks was illegal in assuming that an officer of the govern- ment could arbit y deprive a ecitizen without due process of law of property to which he had a title as against every one but the United States. Tkis is pre- cisely the position taken some months ago by Judge Deady of the United States district court iu Portland, Oregon. The effect of Mr, Lamar's decision will be to remove the embargo on the issue of patents in Nebraska west of the 100th meridian, and to place receivers’ certifi- cates of purchase once mors at par. They will now stand on precisely the same footing that they did a year ago, eviden- ces of clear title to the land and good against any adverse interest except that of the government.

The audience which will erowd the gallories and fill every space of stand ing room to hear Gladstone's speech, in troducing home rule, will be the most dis tinguished in rank, title and literary and political reputation before which an zlish orator has ever spoken. Macau- lay's description of the scene at the trial of Warren Hastings will be more surpasced if any cqually facile and picturesque writer shall give us his impressions of the extraordinary occasion. The erush of peers, bishops, soldiers and states- men for tickets of admission s beyond precedent What will be the result? No one ventures to predict. The only thing certain is the entire uncertainty of the vote on division The cabinet is disorganized, the liberal party fluttering with fear and expecta tion, the tories anxious but far from hopeful. Mr. Gladstone alone prese his_balance, caln, impertuble, appa ently indifferent as to the outcome, cont dent that whether he wins or fails he will add the eap stone to the monumentof his ity reputation asan orator and states. man. Heis standing on the solid rock of justice to Treland, and history will ap- plaud his position, whatever the verdict of a timorous parliament. The whigs may desert him, and the ambitions of ri- val leaders may bre: anks of his support, but when f ssion and revenge have subsided, the cool, clear judgment of sober-minded Englishmen may be depended upon to complete the work which he had the courage to map ont. Home rtle for Ireland and justice to Irishmen cannot long be delayed, whatever the present verdicet. The Police at the Election, The conduct of the volice in several of the wards at the election was simply out- rageous. They were sent to the polls to preserve order, but instead of doing tha they were meddling in the contests, as- saulting peaceable disturbance and vi, stead of conserving the p In the Second ward they knocked down men and women indiscriminately with their billies when they could just as well have dispersed the crowd by making a few ar- rests. A policeman that will strike down a woman with a billy is a coward and ought to be dismissed at once from the force. In the desperate cffort to get control of the city government, the police was used yesterday ns a political machine. The democratic officers on the foree were working tooth and nail for the demo- cratic nominecs, and using their official position to bulldoze and threaten politi cal opponents. This gives an inkling of what would have been the result if the democratic bosses had carried the and the city governmenthad been thrown into their hands, as they so contidently expected. The police force nceds a thorough revision, and it should not be delayed. The political sluggers who flash their stars in the faces of voters to prevent an honest expression of public sentiment should be taught emphatically that tax- payers have no use for this kind of ofli- cers of the law. Clubbing peaesable men and breaking the ribs of innocent and harmless women may accord with their ideas of political necessity, but it will not be endorsed by the respectabloe and law-abiding citizens, no matter what their party afiliations. ] Tue anti-suicide clause in life insur- ance policies has been decided time and again to be a very lame defense to the in- surance companies, especially where the self-killing is not done with intent to de- fraud or where the person is insane, and thoy have frequently been compelled to pay policies where death has been caused by suicide. The latest de of this character is that of Judgo Dyer in the United States circuit court of Wisconsin, who holds that suicide from insanity is accidental. One Crandall had a policy in the Accident Insurance company of North America for $10,000, one of the provisions of which was that the policy did not cover death from ‘“bodily in- firmity or disease.” Crandall became in- sano and banged himsolf—a pretty clear case of disease. But Judge Dyer dis- cussed the subject in this fashion: An accldent had been defined as the hap- pening of an event without the concurrence of the will of the person by whose agency it was caused, an event without design and out of course, Bome violence, casualty or vis major was necessarily Involved in the term accident, There Was no difference between force emanating from the insane person him- self and force operating independently from without. The injury and the death were equally fortuitous in both cases, for in neither was there a_concurring will which prompted the act. The policy contained a provision that the company should not be liable in case of suicide or self-inflicted injuries, But that referred to deliberate, intentional self-de- struetion, which could not be called an acei- dent, No vrovision was made against sui- cidewlen insane. ‘The second question, and one equally important, was whether death was caused by “bodily infirmities or disease” of the insured, against which the company had especially protected itself. It was con- tended that insanity was a disease, that the death was caused by the disease, and hence the company was not liable. That was the law where the fnsurance was general, not 1 or life policies, but did not apply to It is rather refreshing to be informed by the Herald that the oitizens of Omaha are safe, now that that watch-dog of the public treasury, Pat Ford, has been re- turned to the couneil, —_— PERSONAL spite and self-conceit have been rebuked in the election of Mr. Bechel, We do notrefer to Mr. Garneau, but to the Atlas, who earries the world on his bacl —— BecHEL will be beaten—and it is high time he was,—Herald, Aprid 6th.

Forgotten Sufferers. Clcvelana Leader, Railroad management in its effocts up- on the general public and upon railway employes is an old though by no meausan oxhausted topio, but of ali the persons who suffer through the deviltry or stupid- ity of the men who rule some of our great common ocarrying corporations, perhaps the most cruelly treated victims are the poor people who risk their scanty savings in stocks which are made to appear safe and profitable investments and then wrecked. This class is more numerous than anybody would nqumm at first thought, and it is_quict ml¥ through a sense of witer helplessness. Just now at- tention is called to their misfortunes by the publication of an appcal for mercy by the so-called delinquent stockholders of the Philadelphia company, thoss who have not paid and cannot pay the assess- ments required in order that they shall not be deprived of their “entire interest in the company or its property.
