D. lsfl'fl. IMO! J. FIsITER, Nofary Public. Tue conviction of the boodle alderman Jaehne, for bribery, was the first on rec- E ord in the state of New York. Itis not likely to be the last. | Cor. MorrisoN is confident that the | democrats will have a majority in the | next congress, Jeff Davis and demo- cratic blunders will have something to say about this in the next elections. A TRIFLE of over four millions of new stock will be shortly issued by the Penn- sylvania railroad company. This boom in the job printing annex of the corpora- tion will not be appreciated by the stock- holders any more than it will by the sec- tion tributary to the road which will be expected to pay dividends on these new evidences of indebtedne: ‘WirH plenty of work at good wages, Omaha's boom this year will be largely distributed among her working and in- dustrial classes. This is the kind of boom which booms the longest and brings in the best results to the commun- ity. Factories and mills, stendy employ- ment for a large army of wage earners are worth more to a city than a dozen spas- modic rises in real estate values, which have their only basison a speculative ex- citement. ConrPORATION influences in the senate have so far succeeded in preventing the passnge of the bill permitting the Balti- more & Ohio road to bridge Staten Island sound. The Pennsylvania railroad owns the two senators from New Jersey, and theyhave not yet seen their way clear to permit a consideration of the measure. New Jersey ought not to need a telescope to ‘‘see its way clear” to shelve both Bewoll and McPherson when they come up for re-election. . TURkEY'S reluctance to go to war with Greoce is evidence that the advisers of the sultan understand the utter hope- lessness of their situation. 1f they whipped the Greeks, as they certainly would with their large and well drilled army, they would then have to grapple | Jwith Russia, or withsome alliance forced . | into the conflict by the indignation with which Europe would certainly be filled by the spectacle of Greek Christians be- ing crushed by the superior numbers of thoir Moslem foes. 3 Two weeks will be devoted to the dis- oussion of the tariff in congress as soon 88 the appropriation bills are disposed of. ‘When every new congressman has been iven an opportunity to print a speech the Record in order to convince his Qonstituents that he has been doing some- #hing in their interests congress will pro- ooed to vote down Colonel Morrison’s measure by a majority which will show #he deep and pervading sense of the ne- gessity for tariff reform which animates she democratic party. ——— PoLYGAMY has received the heaviest Blow in the decision of the supreme court of the United States dismissing the ap- peal of Apostle Snow. By this decision * o appeal lics from the supreme court of ' WPtah territory in any cases of unlawful . gohubitation, Apostle Snow has been found guilty of unlawful cohabitation ~ with three wives, and as the penalty 1s | six months imprisonment for each offense Ko will go to jail for eighteen months, ¢ and as often thereafter as he shall com- " wmit the offense. Under this kind of ~ prosecution even Mormon zedl will grow ery. — ' NormiNg _strikes eastern visitors more i forcibly, and is the subject of more fre- guent comment, than the prodigality of ' farmers of the west. They economize | in smallmatters, and are lavish in large affairs. Crops are left uncribbed, hay un- " govered, machinery exposed to rain and snow, with the inevitable result of a call ~ mpon themoney sharks,a mortgaged farm, and hard labor eaten up by interest pay- ments. The successful farmers of Ne- " braska, ‘whose thrifty looking homes meat fences, carefully tilled fields : roomy barns and sheds, * bespeak the energy and eare of their gwners, are the men who have watched m the spigot and the bunghole and " have promptly noted and stopped all Jeaks as they began. The men who have seraped along, struggling to keep the ‘putgo within the income, avoiding debt d shunning money loaners are, with " sew exceptions, the wealthy and influen- " gial farmers of the west to-day. kx- 4 vagance means debt and debt means 1 ‘and loss of property either in ole or part. The Ulater Revolt. The defeat of home rule, if it comes, will be largely due to the turbu- lent opposition of the Protestant Irish of Ulster. The Ulster loyalists occupy the northern province of Ireland where wealth is greatest and enterprise has been stimulated by English favor. The Ulster men are largely the product of glish planting. They have been the { benificiaries of English opposition and English misrule. For centuries they have filled the most lucrati tated the policy of Dublin alive the flame of religious warfare in the island. Ulster has always been loyal because Ulster has never suffered the miseries which drove the rest of Ire- land to revolt against English tyranny. On the contrary, every ocoercion act which ground down Connaught, and Don- egal, and Cork, and the south and west, only increased the trade and influence of the north. The most severe legislation has always received the support and countenance of the Ulster loyalists, be- cnuse it only made their star rise higher in the ascendant as the trusted as- sistants of the crown. The Ulster loyalists, although a minority of the population of Ulster, are a powerful po- litical force. They are wealthy, prosper- ous, shrewd and active. They have shown their skill and valor on many an English battlefield. Always staunch sup- vorters of the crown in every crisis, their appeals to the crown against home rule carry much weight just at present. The additional news that they are purchasing rifles and ammunition, drilling in com- panies, and boasting of their ability to put 60,000 men in the field if necessary, naturally complicates the situation. For all this Ulster must yield. Home rule for Ireland can mean nothing less than autonomy for the entire island including the Jack tories of Belfast. The majority must rule. A small but power- ful minority has controlled [rish destiny too long. There need be no fear of civil war. The rancor and intolerance of a Catholic parliament could not surpass that of Protestant Ulster for the past two centuries and there is no reason to doubt that a Celtic majority with Parnell atits head will display more tolerance and equity towards the Saxon element than the on element has ever displayed to- wards them. The threatened revolt of the Ulster loyalists is not surprising, all things considered, but it cannot perman- ently obstruct the path towards home rule. Dividing the Circuit. The senate has passed a bill providing that the Eighth United States judicial circuit, which ncludes Nebraska, shall be split into two parts. Thisaction is de- manded by the steady increase in the business of tle federal courts in the sec- tion covered by the circuit of Judge Brewer. As it is now, the Eighth circuit includes Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri, and the places of holding court extend from St. Louis to Denver, and from Little Rock to St. Paul. The bill as passed by the senate takes Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota out of the Eighth circuit and makes of them a separate circuit by themselves to be known as the Ninth circuit, the Pacific coast circuit composed of California, Nevada and Oregon, which is now the Ninth, changing to the Tenth circuit. The people of Nebraska will be pleased to know that the bill specifically provides that the new judge which this increase of circuits would require shall be ap- pointed for the Ninth circuit. Judge Brewer has won his way very rapidly into the confidence and esteem of the bar of the west, with whom he has been brought into contact. He is able, dignified and al- ways found on the side of the people. His judgment has not been warped by corporate influences or twisted by associ- ations with land-grabbers and jobbers. His decisions are commended as lucid and learned and his gencral manners and urbane deportment make him popu- lar wherever he goes. It is worthy of note that the majority of federal court judges arc men of high character and ability. The shrewd and caustic Caldwell, the learned and polished Nixon and a dozen others who might be mentioned, are instances in point. Good salaries and a life tenure of office are standing premiums to attract the right class of men to those high positions of judicial trust. They are also standing arguwnents in favor of higher pay and longer terms of office in our state courts if weare ever to be free from the mortification of see- ing the suprome bench filled by brain- lessnoodlesand half-fledged pettifoggers. ‘Women Lawyers. Mrs. Kate Stoneman, of Albany, ap- plied a few wecks ago to the general term of the supreme court of New York for admission to the bar of that city, and was refused on the ground that she was not entitled to admission because the right to practice law was hmited to men by the express provision of the statute. This decision has resulted in the prompt passage of a billabolishing the distinction of sex a8 a prerequistie to the practice of law in New York, and in addition has caused comparisons of the record of different states on the same question. There are now forty-eight women law- years in the United States, distributed as follows in the order in which the states first admitted women: Towa, 8; Missouri, 2; Michigan, 6; Utah Territory, 1; District of Columbia, 3; Maine, 1; Ohio, 4; Illinois, 7; Wisconsin, 5; Indiana, 2; Kansas, 8; Minnesota, 1 (from lowa); California, 8; Connecticut, 1; Massachusetts, 1; Nebraska, 1; Wash- ington Territory, 1: Pennsylvania, 1. To- tal, 48. The admission in all these states is to the highest courts except in the case of Pennsylvania. Women have also ap- peared as attorneys in several of the local courts of Maryland and have been ad- mitted to United States courts in Texas and Oregon—though not to the state courts. Women were admitted on their first ap- phication without any change of the law in JIowa, Missouri, Michigan, Utah, Dis- trict of Columbia, Maine, Ohlo, Wiscon- sion, Indiana, Kansas, Conneeticut, Nebraska and Washington Territory. In Wisconsin and Ohio after some women had been admitted others were refused by other judges, and the legislatures at once passed laws forbidding the exelu- sion. In Illinois, Massachusetts, Minne- sota and California the courts would not admit women until laws were passed, and the legislatures promptly passed them. The first admission of 4 woman occurred in Towa in 1869, when the statate provided only for the admission of “white male persons over the age of 21 years.” Both the words ‘white’ and “male” soon after dropped out of the statute. In the other states where women were admitied on first applica- tion there existed cither the common law on the subject, (whatever that may be,) or the words “male,"” “‘citizen,” or “‘vot- er’ was in the statute relating to admis- gion of attorneys. These statistics gathered vy Eila S. Martin, of the law firm of Perry & Mar- tin, both of whose members are women, are doubtless correct. Miss Martin does not give the proportion of women attor- neys who are practicing advocates. There 18 reason to believe that by far the greater proportion are engaged in some of the lines of the profession other than court work. Some aro editing law re- ports and periodicals, others are convey- ancing and still others assisting in pre- paring briafs, Thoere is no reason why the profession of the law should not be thrown open in all the states to women as a field for their mental activity, They have accemplished a fair degrse of sue- cess in medicine. Why should they not in the no less exacting one of the law? —_— An Incentive to Corruption. The large revenue surplus which even congressional extravagance fails to wine out is a standing incentive to corruption and jobbery in Washington. No one im- agines that the Blair educational bill, the Ends' ship canal scheme or a score of other projects involving immense expen- diture would have been seriously consid- ered or even introduced in congress, but for the inducement and the opportunity afforded by a large treasury surplus. The southern representatives who are so loudly in favor of the scheme to appor- potion eighty millions for school money among the states would have been quick to denounce it if it had been necessary to raise the money by taxes on raw ma- terial, onlproduction, or on the nec saries of living. According to the best estimates the new tariff bill, if passed, would reduce the surplus revenue to the amount of twenty-five millions. The Morrison bill is defective but it is on the right lines. We are taxed to extortion under the high tarift, which exists as one of the relics of the civil war period. Asa result, while nearly every finance minister in Europe is wrestling with a deficit, the treasury of this country rejoices ir. a surplus of many million dollars ahoye the wants of the government. Tariff reform means re- duced taxation. But it also means a re- duced treasury surplus and the rcmoval of a constant incentive to jobbery and extravagance. The surplus has proved a powerful corrupter of political sentiment. It has given the demagogue free range for the introduction of meas- ures ‘‘for the popular relief” which would never have received an hour's respeetful consideration if the vast sums which they called for would have necessitated in- creased taxation. The great game of grab at Washington is inspired and kept in operation by the overflowing treasury whose contents are taken from the pock- ets of the people by needless taxation to maintain industrial monopolies and to protect the interests of capital at the ex pense of unprotected labo: JEFF DAvIs has retired once more to the privacy of his home. It is rumored on the best of authority that his move- ments in this direction were hastened by the earnest entreatics of southern sena- tors and representatives who saw in his treasonable apologies for treason a com- ing retribution on the part of a loyal north. It was not the maudlin sentences of a broken down rebel which aroused the indignation of the country so much as the bursts of cheers which greeted the orater. The Montgomery speech of 1886 ruay yet be as memorable an in- cident in the history ot the democratic party as the Mont- gomery speech of 1861, The country will not forget that it is democrats who are cheering the reminiscences of trea- son to-day just as it was a rebellious democracy which fostered and sustained treason twenty-five years ago. There is a deep and a pervading sentiment that the men who could listen to and applaud such sentiments are not loyal citizens of the general government. And with this will come the conviction that there can be no sentimental compromise on politi- cal issues with a wing of a party which, holding a controling influence in party affairs, abuses the Ameri- can privilege of free speech to talk loyalty at Washington and to ap- plaud disloyalty in Alabama. The bloody shirt has been laid aside as thread bare and worn. But the issue of loyalty and treason cannot be again raised in the country without stern protest from the men who ventured their lives to uphold and to maintain the unity of the states. There is certain to be an answer to Mr. Davis’ rantings. It will be such an an- swer as will render the trip of the arch- traitor a memorable one to the party with which all his friends afliliate. Tae Black Hills people are jubilating over the near approach of the railroad. Track laying has begun from Buffalo Gap north and the rails are expected to reach Rapid City by June 15th, With the aavent of the railroad will come a prosperity to the Hills which there is every reason to believe will far exceed the most sanguine anticipations of the old timers who “rustled” and prospected in the gulches from Rapid to Deadwood nearly ten yearsago. Unlike most wmining sections, the Black Hills mse from the midst of rich and productive farm- ing lands and a section of country entirely capable of supplying most of the necessaries of life from within a few miles of the mining camps. With its gold and silver, mica and tin, iron and coal, the Black Hills country is more richly endowed with mineral wealth than any other section of the west. The coming of the iron horse will enable that region to produce the precious mettle more cheaply, and consequently to increase production while other industries long dormant will spring into & prosperous activity as the result of rapid and open communication with the manutacturing centre of the country.

Labeh hhd serects. The attention qf the city council cannot be ealled too strongly to the erying neces- sity for labelling'out streets so that citi- zens and strangérs ban find their way about Omaha unasgisted. We know of no city in the country as deficient in iden- tifying street signsas our own. It is difficult for residentk to pick their own way about, especihily in the new portions of the city. For strapgers it is practi- cally impossible. = Af) abortive move was made last yoar to have the names of the strects painted inside the street lamps or printed on papet'slips and fastencd on the glass. It failed as 20 many other plans have failed and has not been resurrected since. Every corner lamn should be marked with the name of the streets on which it faces This is needed first of all, beeause at night signson houses are not visible. In addition all corner buildings or fence posts where houses do not stand on the corner should have small signs bearing in white lotters on dark background the names of the streets which they angle. There is an immense amount of time and more profanity wasted now in hunt- ing for streets in Omaha, the location of which are not known. Aside from the letter carriers, real estate men, hack drivers and newspaper boys, we venture the assertion that there are nota hun- dred of our citizens who could go unas- sisted to a definite honse in some of the undefined parts of Omaha. Visitors to our city feel the lack more strongly than our own people and comment upon it in terms which do not add very much to our eredit. The council ought to make a move at once to have the matter reme- died. StEPs should be taken to abate the nuisance of street obstruction in Omaha. One of the echief duties of the police ought to be to report promptly the names of all parties who cluster up their - walks with boxes or who needlessly fill the streets and gutters with building ma- terial and refuse after the work of con- struction is over. Attention is called to the northwest corner of Harney and Fit- teenth streets, where Tom Murray's building material fills nearly half the street and has been a source of complaint for the past six months. Brick and sand, beams and brush and refuse make an un- sightly pile which have no business where they are placed uniess they are to be used at onmce in the con- struction of the long delayed brick front. ‘Lhe complaints are not limited to the obstructions caused by building. Ma of our merchants feel a sort of propr ry interest in this. pavements and s walks in front of their places of business, and use them freely for storage purposes and for unpackihg ‘hnd sorting goods greatly to the discomfort of pedostrians and travelers, There'is no good reason why the commission Houses should be al- lowed to pick over apples, husk cabbages and sort decaying’ vegbtables on a publio thoroughfare. During the warm weath- er, now coming on, there 1s every reason why all such offeniders should be made examples of for the public good. There is a place for everything, but the place for goods is not outsidg the curb line or on the sidewalks dedicated to public use. The same condition 'bf affairs exists in many of the alléys in business parts of town, with the added disadvantage that ash and swill barrels join their odors to those of decayed vegetables, empty beer kegs and fragrant packing material. ConaGress has disposed of all the gen- eral aporopriation bills but two, and will shortly be ready to enter upon the excit- ing but profitless work of dodging on the tariff, Col. Morrison will eall up his bill at an carly date and watch the burial of the corpse later with teerless eyes.

Peoria Journal: Mr. Henry Witte, who is believed to have been the richest man but one in the state of Nebraska, was found dead on the prairie near Lincoln, a few mornings ago. He wandered away from home and a sudden change of weather occurred. Although the country is thickly settled, and he might easily have gained the shelter of one of the furm houscs, he appears to have become dazed or demented, and to have continued to wander about until overcome by fatigue and exposure, he lay down ana died, and his body was found stiff and _cold on the following morning. Mr, Witte went to Nebraska many years ago, and removed to Lincoln the capitol, when that ity was first lai out on the virgin prairie. John Fitz- gerald, who is probably worth §8,000,000 to $4,000,000, is the richest man in'the state, and Mr. Witte was probably the next, with $2,000,000. They both com- menced life with pick and shovel on the streets and railroads of Iowa and Ne- braska. Mr. Witte owned about 30,000 acres of choice land and probably half a million dollars in property in fiecins He was mnoted for the extreme care he took of his own interests, and the fact he never made xmx manifestations of ruhlic spirit. He paid bis taxes grungingly and was a continual growler at public im- provements of any kind. Fitzgerald is entirely different.” He is generous, open hearted, strong advecats of pubilo im; provements, and has done a_great denl i improving Lincoln, Plattsmouth, Omaha, Nebraska City and other cities in the state. He is_an earnest, warm hearted Irishman and Patrick Egan went Lincoln direct from Ireland upon Fitzgerald's invitation and was assisted in _business by him, The two rich men of Nebraska were no more alike than if they belonged to different specivs of animal kingdom. — General Butler's Nephew. Chicago Horald, George H. Butler, the dissolute nephew of the general, whose death occurred a few days ago, was in the beginning a brilliant man. The opportunities that he had were most enviable, but he threw them all away. Any one of a dozen chances that were given him through the instrumentality of powerful relatives and friends would have becn the making of a youth who had his mind set on rising in the worid. He graduated from West Point witn honor, and might have been somebody in the army. He held enviable positions on the metropolitan press, which would have been the stepping stones to succes if he had proved rlilu- self worthy of them. He married a well- known and popular actress, and as a the- atrical manager he once had prospects that were most flattering. He obtained on in the consular service, it away. In these and in ds of endeavor he found himself forward on many occasions to s from which advancement would rm\'u been easy if he had not proved wantig, Butler's weakness was his appetite.

A Preacher Teaches Yale Studonts to Play Poker. A Handsome Wolf in Olerical Garb Pluocks New Haven People and Elopes With a Connecti- cut Beauty. New Haven specinl to the New York Morning Journal: A fow days ago a distinguished-looking gentleman who was dressed in the garb of an Episcopal clergyman arriyed 1n this city and ob- tained accommodations at the boarding- house kept by William H. Joyce on Orange street. The stranger seemed in- clined to be communicative, and said that his name was the Rev. Henry Brown and that his home was in the far west. He had come east to study French, so that he might be better able to preach to the colony of French people that were settled near him. He also wished to raise money to build a church in the border town where he was to save souls, By y of credentials he showeil a letter of introduction, which he claimed had been sgned by the Bishop of Montana. rown soon succeeded in interesting a number of New Haven clergymen in his behalf, and with their assistance secured a large class of music scholars, which was composed_chiefly of young ' ladies, He was a good vocal and instrumental musician, and his fair young pupils pro- grossed finely. Brown seemed to take a fatherly inter- est in them, and they almost worshiped h mstructor, who always opened tho esson hour with prayer. Fond mammas from all parts of the city flocked to Brown's apartments to consult with him in regard to their danghters’ souls, and notwithstanding the fact that several of he more experienced p hounced netimonious pat and imposter their good wives seeretely sup- plied Brown with liberal contributions of money and often cheered him with their presence. While Brown was thus getting himself into the good graces of the ladies and re- ng them of thoir sparc_change, he wis also m:\kinfi' himselt solid with the half-dozen wealthy Yale students that boarded with the Joyce family T dents liked the jolly parson and del in listening to his stories of lite in the far west. One day Parson Brown e Yale boys how the min played poker. The gamy Iy from college poker in_ gencral and ale poker in particular, and the young men urged the good man to in- struct them into the mysteries thereof. Brown lost all the time and insisted that he was only playing to amuse the boys. At last luck seemed to change and one evening Brown won $1,800 trom the students, which was all the money they had. The money was sent by the parents of the boys to pay the board of their sons. The following night they pl: d again and Brown won their watches, rings and other valuables which they staked in lien of money. The students implored Brown to give them back a portion of their money. He laughingly remarked that he would send it to their parents if they so desired. This effectually silenced them, and Brown was left unmolested to gather money from his lady friends. To Miss Alice Marsh, the daughter of one of the wealthiest of the residents of this city, Brown was particularly atten- tive and at last thd twain beeame engaged., Mr. Marsh was kept in ignorance of the fact, however, and it was arranged that a8 he seemed to dishike Brown very much. the twain should go to New York and get married, after which they should return and ask the forgiveness of the old gentle- man. Mrs. Marsh was so infatuated with the man of God that she did all she could to help perfect the plan and readily con- sented to lend Brown $500 to pay the ox- lmnsns of the trip. Miss Marsh persuaded b+ father to give her $1,000 to purchase a_spring outfit in New York, ‘thus pro- vided the pretended clergyman and his confiding companion departed for New York on the same train, but when they reached that city instead of procceding to the house of an aunt of Miss Marsh as had been arranged, Brown persuaded the innocent girl to go to the Grand Union Hotel for di Miss M: $1,000 w plained to the nd ranchmen diffored slight- r. s wallet containing the transferred to Brown's pocket for sa eeping and he started oft to order dinner. That is the last Miss Marsh evor saw of him, and she at last went to the house of her aunt and related her story. ; i Brown, it is now supposed, is in reality Royal M. Jewett, who escaped from the Michigan penitentiary about four years ago, This story of his carcer in "New Haven has been kept very quict and only the immediate friends of the tamily know that Alico entertained anything more than a friendly regard for the parson. Detective James Howel has been lookin, tor Brown for several days and if heis captured will prohxlbl%sm‘nd the remain- ing portion of his life behind prison bars. E‘lm losses of the students will reach $3,000, Brown had collected about $2,000 from New Haven people to usc in the erection of the Western church. His board bill of $60 is unpaid. The Marsh family contribution amounts'to $1,500. A man wearing a circus plaid stands more chance of social recognition in New Haven to-day, than T.
