Such a disgraceful spectacle has never been presented in the state There has for years been strife among republicans in Nebras but they have never yet had the indecency to fall out over tiie corpse of a public man, Memo- rial 's have been held here over half a dozen eminent republicans, at which the leaders of all factions participa- ted in perefect harmony. Had any of them dared to show a spirit of factional intolerance they would have been stamped to death politieally speaking. It remained for Douglas county democrats to present to the country the unscemly spectacle of aquarrclover the bier of their most dis- tinguished leader. The paper owned by one of the actual pall t ers of Mr Tilden should of all others have been the last to instigate and carry on such a disguating cxhibition. It ‘only shows what men with smal) mindsand big galls can do when they occupy & position which demands men of a largest calibre. Does He Mean These? Edmunds being safe in his sena seat for another six years, thinks the republicans should skip the cast in their soarch for the next pres dential candidate. Mr. Edmunds is sare from assault. The lroad icicle from the Green Mountain state will not be ap- proached by the next nominating con- vention. With undoubted ability, pro- found learning on constitutional ques tions and long experience with natiof affairs, Mr. Edmunds has yielded too often to the blighting blandishments of the corporations to expect populur sup- port as the nominee of his party. ely probable that M.

The cable road at the very sutsot finds itself blocked by a temporary injunction granted by Judge Dundy of the United States district court. Although it was to haye been expected that obstacles would be thrown in the way of the cuble road by the horse railway company, the grounds upon which an injunction is asked for are preposterous. In these days of broad construction of public rights in their relations to public corporations the plen of exclusivencss has long since been exploded. The supreme courts of the various states and the fed- eral supreme court, have time and again decided that the grant of a franchise to a public corporation cannot be made ex- clusive, The Omaha horse railway ean- not maintain a monopoly of all our streets or any of them as a vested right. They hold a franchise to operate a city rail- road, but they cannot block the whole street us against any other corporation h may obtain the privilege of carr ing on the business of A common earrier in our streets, If itis conceded that the horse railroad hus the monopoly of all the passenger traflic in the eity limits, then they might as well assert ownership of the streets. But we have no idea that the plen of wmonopoly is anything more than a device to delay the building of the cable road. Dismissing this point, there are doubtless other questions upon which the street railway company can wmake a stronger stand, They must realize that Omaha reached apoint where faster transit is demanded. We must haye cable road service over the bills to the suburbs, If the horse railway company would trans- form its main lines into cable roads they it be force in the protest, against double the servico on the same streets. Otherwise the public will insist that they shall not be deprived of the benefits of wventions by which the slow poke mule speed can be suppianted by rapid transit Tilden and Cleveland. It may be of considerable service to Mr, Cleveland to have it understood that his relations with Mr, Tilden were of the most friendly character, and that cer- tainly as to s silver lotter and perhaps with respect to some of his other views and acts he had the approval of the late sago of Greystone. In view of the fact that Mr. Cleveland does not appear to | have many of the leading men of his party very solidly with him, it would seem 1o be quite expedient that he should, if possible, counteract their influence with the rank and file of the party by showing that he enjoyed the personal ro- spect und political confidence of the first democrat of histime, and if he ean suc cossfully make this showing he muy war: cantably indulge the expeotation of & re- nomination, which he undountediy de- gires, His friends are prowpt in deny- ing statoments made since the death of Mr, Tilden reflecting unfavorably upon tholr relations, and producing faets to confute these statements. 1t is asserted th.:’&lz, Tilden strongly favored the womneion of dr. Cleyolaud in 1884, and that all of his warmest friends, directly under the influence of the distinguished leador, of whom Mr, Manning is one. ardent boome of Cleveland, while the anti-Tilden men quite generally were his active opponents. The pupil and friend of the dead politician, who is #aid to haye learned of him his al management, were | earliest lessons in volit | Manning, was the president's first and last choice for secretary of the treasury and when the mindof Mr. Cleveland was perplexed with the question of cxpedi ency in taking two members of the cabi | net from New York, Mr. Tilden | appealed to with the result Another pupil and friend of leader, who is perhaps more imbued with Tildenism than ning, is Colonel Daniel Lamont was known the dead thoroughly even Man who 18 understood to hold a place nex the car of the president than any man in the cabinet or clsewhere. A letter of Mr Tilden to Mr. Cleveland is published in which the silver letter of the latter, so sharply reproved by the democrats of the forty-cighth congress, is commended being “absolutely perfeet,” and it is fur. thermore said that the president was the vecipiont frequently of lotters from Mr. Tilden, among them one within a month inviting himselt and wife to pay a visit to Greystone. All this seems conclusive enough in disproof of the statements that have been somewhat freely made to the ef that these potentates democratic politics were estr: and it is not doubtful that a discreet use of these facts by the friends of Mr. Cleveland would be very much to the advantage of the president with the party. 1t is perhaps unnccessary to remark t Mr. Cleveland’s case will bear any amount of bolstering that can be given it between this time and the assembling of the national democratic convention, An Unfortunate Iirst Expericnce. 1t is to be regretted that Miss Clove- land has at the very beginning of her editorial cer encountered a wost agreeable difliculty, which if it does not once bring to an end her literary work in the west, cither from her own choice or the force of circumstances, must in- evitably detract from its usefulness, for the shadow that has fallen upon the pathway of Literary Life by the financial coilapse of its publishers will still further narrow the already restricted field in which that publication had found a clientele. Although perhaps no very oxtraordinary results were expected of Miss Cleveland in her new field of in- tellectual nctivity, there was still a most eearty general desire that she would a succeess of the ventare, find in the west a fullillment of her vivid and genial, if somewhat unsophisticated, imaginings of the possibilities of this land of promise, and a gencrous fruition of her rosy expectations. There was assur- ance that if she could go on untramelled with the doubtful enterprise of which she had taken the editorial control, she would at least give it a unique individuality and distinetive character that would render it interest- ing, and there was reason to hope that in time it might be made ifying suec- cess in her hands. Miss veland is un- questionably an accomplished woman, and she has givon proof that she has a tact for readily adapting herself to new conditions and circumstances. She has a great deal to learn in her new oceupa- tion, but she would doubtless in due time acquire the essential knowledge if the op- portunity to do so remained. At present, however, it seems likely that the opportunity will not remain. Unless Literary Life shall pass mto other and more responsible hands than those of A. P. T, Elder, its speedy death is more than probable, and should Elder attempt to keep it atloat it is not likely after the exposure of his financial hollow- ness, and as the dispatches represent the matter, his thoroughly unprincipled and dishonest business methods, that Miss Cleveland will consent to be further 1dentifled with him. She must feel deeply indignant at having been made the victim of the basest deception and false clearly shown by the closures of the financial rottenness of Elder, and she is not the sort of person t> condone a proceeding which can only be properly characterized as an outrage. The mistake of Miss Cleveland was in not making a careful inquiry as to the financial standing of the publisher of Literary Life, which she could have m- formed herself of in Chicago with very trouble; but this is an error for ich she cannot be blamed, while the act that the gave full confidence to Elder’s now evident misropresentations, to use no harsher term, renders his course more heinous and contemptible. 1t is shown that Elder was worse than bankrupt when he contracted with Miss Cleveland to edit his periodical, and that both with respect to her and the public he has been shamelessly playing a game of false protenses, while with respect to nis ereditors he has been doing even worse than this, The suspension of Lil- erary Lafe would not be an irreparable loss, and would occasion no regret ox- cept as u present disaster to the pleasing )ations and cheerful hopes of its accomplished and universally respected editor. S| ARY BAYARD 15 reported to be quite sanguine that the issue between the governments of the United States and Mexico, growing out of the Cuinng affair, will be amicably adjusted, and the Mexican munister at Washington, who is ungestionably a warm friend of this coun- try, has publicly stated his conviction that there will be a satisfactory settle- ment. As Mr. Bayard, however, adheres firmly to his view that the assumption by Mexico of the right to try and punish an American eitizen for a crime under its laws aguinsta Mexican citizen comwmit- ted ou Awmerican soil, is untenable and cannot be tolerated, and the Mexican government appoars to be equally firm n maintamning its attitcude, it is evident that the scttlement of the controversy may not be o easily accomplished as wight at fivst thought be supposed. The people of the United States will certainly msist upon a very material modification, is not & complete abandonment of Mexi- co’s extraordinary assumption, but it may require something more urgent and practical than diplomatic logic and per- suasion to effoct this result. ——— ‘I'uereportis current that a controlling intorest in the city water works company is about to pass iuto the hands of Boston eapitalists.

The most complete answer to Bayard assertion that Cutting’s offense was com mitted “wholly on American soil” is tound in the action of the Mexiean court in pronouncing the American culprit guilty. The finding of the judge was based entirely on the original libel, which was written, printed, and published on Mexican soil, and the reiteration of the calumny in an Ameriean paper coupled with an indecent assault on the court were treated merely as aggravating ci cumstances, if indeed they were consid- ered all. We fail to see anything in the final judgment of the Mexiean court which will authorize any complaint on the part of Seerctary Bayard unless he is determined to m an blacl guardism more respect abroad than it is at home. acts now established beyond question show that Cutting was a resident of the Mexican town of Paso del Norte and was engaged there in the publication of a_disreputable sheet, It was in Paso del he wrote, published, and ci ho original libel against Medin cisnot the remotest doubt but that for that act _he was responsible to Mexican law. Indeed, when brought into court Cutting did not deny the jurisdic- tion of the Mexi authorities, but begged for a compromise, and through the leniency of the judg, to dismiss the charge ' would publish & formal retraction in his Paso del Norte paper in the manner au- thorized by the Mexican law. By the contemptible trick of printing the re- traction in extremely small type without punctuation or capitalization Cutting violated the conditions of his release, and was, moreover, guilty of contempt of court. Not content with this he caused a rciteration of the original libel, to- gether with an assault on fhe judge, to be bublished in an American paper cross the river, and it is alleged that he aided personally m circulating m Paso del Norte this second edition of his calum- nies. No respectable lawyer will that Cutting's act of bad faith in violating tl conditions of his release did not revi the origii harge against him, or rather put it where it was before, with an ag- gravated circumstance added. His first offense was perpotrated wholly on Mex iean soil, and for it he was amenable to the Mexican courts conclusively having abused the lenity of the judge and violated the terms of Iis discharge the aathorities at Paso del Norte were bound to proceed against him anew. this case is con 1 it s’ immaterial whether or not Cutting’s second and third i o printed in the United States lated in Mexico in such manncr » him responsible to the laws of and that matter is in- ing only as it suggests whether the ' authorities have not still re- maining charges under which the Ame: can libeler can by meed to the peni- tentiary for additional terms. Cutting has shown himself a licentious libeler and ven trickster who used the ~protec- tion of American citizenship while seek- ing to violate the laws of Mexico, and it is time for Mr. Bayard to cease his mis- representations of this ease. The latest report is that the Mexican overnment, having vindicated its laws by trying and convicting Cutting, will set him free by pardon, in the hope of pacifying the United States.” The Mex- ican government should donothing of the rt. It has attempted merely te enforeo s laws against an_offender who abused ihe lenity previously shown him and who should ow bo awarded the pumshment And so far us “‘pacification’’ when the facts now coming to light are generally understood in the United States it will” be conceded that Mexico is not the conntry whose state de- partment i3 called upon to apologize or it itself in an attitude of humiliation. » United States can hardly afford the ce of compelling Mexico to revoke ul, righteous nct .\imxlv bocause she is an - inferior power, Mexico has nothing for which to apologize, and she should keep Cutting where he belongs.

The much mon med to bani My brigade roceived $32 per cars and men sharing alike. ¢ inridge was paid that sum, znd, for the purpose, was borne ol oli of the brigade, The next da, hington, 1 turned over the residuc of the treasure to Mr. M.
