THE recent discoveries of the blunder- ing mistake by a careless, or at best stupid clerk, in' the bill creating ad- ditional judges in several districts in Nebraska, is doubtless best appreciated by thie men appointed to the responsible positions. However there has as yet been no decision on the question, and perhaps will not be for some time, Tt is too late to raise a racket now over the nomination of the Fourth ward coun- cilman. Mr. Woodman has been regu- larly nominated by the city convention and neither the ward club nor the city committee can take him off the ticket unless he voluntarily withdraws. Indi- wvidually Mr. Woodman is well qualilied for the position and his reputation for in- tegrity is unchallenged, Tre United States claims that its fish- ermen should be entitled to the nights of the ordinary trading vessels in Canadian ports. In answer to this clearly defined claim, Lord Salisbury proposes to offer free fishing within the three-mile limiton the coasts of the dominion, if the United States will take off the tariff on Canadian fish. This evasive answer and new prop- osition is a sort of “what'll you give, what'll you take,” offer. The American cod-fish should be sustained at all hazards. The fisheries dispute is the worst chestnut of the century. ‘I'ne. National Woman’s Suffrage asso ciation held its annual convention in New York rccently, and resolved and re- resolved on several questions pertaining to the down-trodden and neglected sex. There were 100 of the gentle creatures present, most prominent among the num- ber being Mrs. Lillie Doveraux Blake. Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker make a “ringing” speech, in which she claimed that it was & horrid shame that women could not vote, and declared solemnly and emphatically thac 1if the precious boon was granted before her death she ‘would apnoint herself superintendent of police of New York city. In this un- happy frame of mind the gathering ad- Journed, Wool and the New Law, No western industry has been treated with greater severity by the railroads, under the inter-state commerce law, than the wool industry. This interest, indeed, would seem to have been singled peeially adverse discrimination, No other conclusson is possible from the fact that freight on wool from San Fran- cisco to Boston was increased from 62 1-2 cents per 100 pounds to $5.621-2. The purpose of establishing such a tarifl was clearly to prevent the shipment of wool by rail from California to the east, and thus preveat competition with eastern- grown wool. This inevitable result, scem- ing to threaten the ruin of the California wool industry, created the utmost alarm i that interest and arrayed it solidly against the new law. From no other source has their been a more earnes ap- peal for relief from the operation of the law. But there is another aspect to the sitna- tion which the California wool producers in their alarm did not gee, and which is pointed out to them by clearer-sighted men in the east interested in the wool business. The opinion of these practical men 1s that the probable effect of the in- creased tariff on wool will be to stimulate woolen manufactories in the places where the wool is raised, and nearer the mar- kets for the manufactured goods. This 18 an obviously sound view, and should reassure not only the wool-raisers of the California, but of all other sections of the west which are now or may hereafter unduly dis ninated against by railroad tariffs, A Sun Francisco paper says the wool manufacturers of California can compete with those of Chicago as far east as the Rocky mountains, and with those of Boston nearly as far as the Missouri river, and asks *‘What more could our woolen manufacturers want?” Certainly the territory indicated cient to warrant liberal investme wool manufacture, with the ce that it would be profitable. But there uare other localities in the west besides Californin that are interes- ted in this question. The great market for woolen goods of American manufac- ture is the west and northwest, and the is no reason why this market should be dependent either upon the east or the Pacific coast for its manufactured woolen goods, or at least the coarser descriptions of them. Between the Missouri river and the Rocky mountains there is a large an- nual production of wool that ought to be turned into goods in the re- gion where 1t is raised, and thus supply the demand for such goodsat a less price than is possible when the wool is shipped two thousand miles and returned in the finished pro- duct. The wool raisers of Montanu ave proposing to drive their sheep to u water route, shear them there, and ship the product by water. They are at the mercy of the railroads and the castern manufacturers. What these Montana wool raisers need is an ac ble woolen mill that would take their product and manufacture it into goods. They would thus realize more for their wool and buy the goods for less than they would cost if manufactured in the cast. The same is true of other wool raising regions. In a word, the market of the west and north- west ought in large measure to be in- dependent of the east in this matter, and if the discrimination of the railronds against the western wool industry shall bring this about the ultimate result must undoubtedly be greatly to the advantage of the entire west, Mg. Boyp is waiting for acclamation five hundred miles away. Schnaebeles as a War Issue, The sensative nature of the relations between France and Germany is well illustrated by the strong feeling that has been developed in both countries, but more especially of course in France, over the arrest of M. Schnael a French oflicial, by the German police authoritics at Pagny-sur-Moselle, on the frontier. There is some confusion in the accounts of the incident, and also some ditference of opinion as to whether he was arrested on French or German territory. The first reports stated that he had been in- veigled into the latter and there taken into custody. The story went that Schnacbeles had been asked by the Ger- mans to replace an overland post which marked the frontier line, and that while engaged m doing this he stepped a few feet over the line on the German side, whereupon the German police, disguised in blouses, seized him. Schnaebeles re- sisted vigorously, tearing the blouses off the police and revealing the German uni- form, and succeeded in recrossing the line to the French side, wither he was pursued, overpowered and carried into captivity. He was hurried off to Metz and imprisoned, where he remains, the hero for the moment of European inter- estand a good deal of French excite- ment. Both governments are engaged in in- vestigating the facts of the arrest, more particularly with reference to the spot at which it occurred, but it is worthy of attention that what Jittle expression comes from German sources 18 notin the dircetion of any concessions in the matter. There is no doubt that the s deliberately planned, the po- ving the warrant of the public prosceutor at Metz, and itis a shrewd guess that the warrant was not issued without the knowledge and authority of a higher power. It is reasonable to sup- pose that such a proceeding would not have been undertaken without the most careful consideration and a full estimate of the probable consequence. It is also a fair supposition that had it been car- ried out upon the sole authority of a sub- ordinate official, the government would have shown a different disposition with respect to it than it has done. There might not have been a complete disu- vowal of the act, but there would un- doubtedly have been such assurances given the offended government as would have quieted popular clamor and removed all cause of apprehension. The fact that this was not done is certainly very sug- gestive of an indifference on the part of the German government regarding con- sequences, and gives some warrant for French opinion that Bismarck has a lurk- ing desire to provoke France to hostil- ities. Being one of a number of recent events in Alsace-Lorraine in which the German authorities are said to have gone out of their way to irritate the French, the fact of its being regarded in France as a studied attempt to provoke a diffi- culty canuot fairly be charged to the mercurial disposition and impulsi projudiees of the French people. Meanwhile there is something very earnest in the military prepa- rations that are reported. Both coun- tries scem Lo be again resting on their arms, ready for any emergency. rope ut large all other incidents and cir- cumstances are of secondary importance to the arrest of the erstwhile unkvown French ofticial, M. Schnaebeles. The Democratic Leader. When Johin A. McShane was elected to congress from this district,the demoeratic masses who had been disgusted with the arrogant dictatorship of Miller and Boyd congratulated themselves upon the new leadetship, which promised to be in full harmony with the rank and file of the party. The purchase of the Omaha Herald by the new democratic leader was hailed by the democracy of this city and state as the harbinger of a new dispensation which would purify the party machinery and give it an organ that would fearlessly and honestly voice the popular sentiment on all vital questions. The first two months of Mr. McShane! career as the leader of his party have d pelled the hopes of Nebraska democracy and disappointed even the warmest of McShane's personal friends. The ap- pointment of Pritchett as district at- torney,followed by that of Con Gallagher as postmaster, and several mon- opoly henchmen to land of- fice positions have fallen like awet blanket upon the great mass of democrats. Tht retention on the IHerald of the rowdy adyenturer who nad well nigh wrecked the paper under Dr. Miller by his slanderous and scurrilous warfare upon reputable and respectable demncratic leaders has disgusted and dis- heartened McShane’s most ardent sup porters in his own party and aroused a just resentment among independent voters who contributed largely to bis triumph last fall, The conduct of Mr. McShane's organ by Dr. Miller's bushwhacker forcibly illus- famous saying of Artemus The leopard cannot charge his spots -bhut you can change them for him with a paint brush.”” Mr. MeShane’s paper may rage and foam against monop- oly abuses,and prate aboutparty harmony and reform, but the intelligentdemocrats have no confidence in the utterances of the paper, when they know that the renegade who writes these sentiments to-day was two months ago the most rampant he man of monopoly and the most blatant villitier of honest and de- cent democrats, The new leader of democracy may deceive himself into the belicf that his concessions to the Miller- Boyd faction, and his temporizing pulicy has harmonized his party. Nothing can be further from the truth. 1f he con- tinues, as he has started out, he will not have a corporal’s guard to follow him before his term expires, and his paper will find 1tself with an abundance of fed- tronage and a very slim list of A Minister on Monopolies. Tn a sermon at St. Matthew's church, Chicago, on Sunday, Rov. James 8. Greene departed from the general rule of preaching salvation for the soul alone. His sermon was more about the salvation of the country. In discussing the cvils with which the people are obliged to con- tend, he thought none was worse than ‘“‘the greedy, rapacious, grasping suitor known as monopoly, whose sceptre is the wron railroad track and the telegraph wire.”” Mr. Greene said that since the first introduction of monopoly in this country things had gone from bad to worse. Monopoly decided everything. He did “not know whether the inter- state commerce law would have any ten- dency to place a check upon monopoly or not, but the history of past legislation proved thatif monopoly fayored a mens- ure 1t would become a law and if it were opposed would certainly cause its defeat. The curse of the United States was mo- nopoly. Every man and woman felt the touch of its despotism.” He stated that he did not wish to be understood as begrudging the right to any man of accumulating as much money as he could honestly, but he thought the same principle should apply to corporations and capitalists as to the laborer and poor man. In England the vast accumulation of land by smgle indiyiduals had driven the people to desperation and in Ireland to the verge of madness. The eyes of our peovle dilated with astonish- ment when they read of farms in the country comprising 2,000 or 3,000 acres, but he quoted statistics showing that in Scotland fifty-one persons owned 3,128,- 604 acres of land, or an averege of 130,- 362 acres for each person. These figures implied an infinite acreage of wretched- ness. It was this vulture, mounopoly, that asked this country to be its bride forever. Mr. Greene's idea of educating people from the pulpit, upon the questions of the hour, 15 not original, yet is novel and could, with advantage be practiced in more pulpits. THERE is flattering promise of the sue- cess of the national drill to take place in Washington next month, so far as the number of competitors are concerned. Even a few companies shall remain away from objection to the presence of colored men. Ohio and Kentucky each send a regiment and additional com- panies, while Virginia will be repre- sented by an entire brigade. Dakota sends a battalion, and far-away Washing- ton territory furnishes jthe Tacoma guard, Rhode Island will be repre- sented by a large force, but New York sends only three companies, while Penn- sylvania will not be represented. One company will be present trom New Jersey. The entries assure a good dis- play and an interesting event, but owing to the failure of a number of states to be represented the title of national drill wiil bave to be qualified.

They knew that Mr. Potter had been tendered the oflice, but did not belicve he would ac copt. Therefore they were rather sur- prised when the news of his acceptance was telegraphed her It is understood that upon Mr. Potter's coming here he will assume the duties of genel man- ger of the allied lines of the Union Pa- cific and the Oregon Railway and Navi- ation compan Mr. Cummings, it is said, wili be as nt manager, thus fill- ing n newly crea oflice.

A DRUGGISTS' COMBINE. Prices Established Upon Pres and Standard Articles of Use. The late meeting of druggists of this city had as one object the consideration of the propriety of certain persons prac- ticing pharmacy. It had as another and a more important purpose the regulation of prices. A scale has been adopted and will be published in a day or two. It in- cludes the following prices of staples: Pozzoni's face powder, 50 cents. Other tace powders; 40 cents, Morphine, 75 cents per drachm Tincture, 10 cents each, except tinec- ture of opium, which is 15 cents, and arniea, which is 5 cents. For any prescription, not less than 25 cents; for any two-ounce mixture not less than 35 cents, Every droggist is liablo to a fine of #59 for deviating from this schedule of prices. 1t is a general raise on all of the articles in common use.

In view of the small sum left for mileage purposes,how- ever, the tary of war has decided to dofer the issuing of the order assigning Lieutenant Chittenden until the be- ginning of the next fiscal year, about two months hence. Printed copics of General Crook's re- port to General Sheridan of ius Apache operations have been received at army headquarters. In speaking of the meth- ods he had to pursue, General Crook says: “Itisimpossible to estimate the uraging effort of the cles, against which it was necessary to con tend in following out these methods to a finally successful issue; the untriendly critiolsm of the territoriul press, the more or less open and ways covert op- position of the Indian départment, up to the time of the outbreak in 1885; the undisguised hostility of the numerous contractors and speculators, whose success depended upon their abil- 1ty to defrand the Indians; all these ad. verse clements had (o be overcome, and against such odds, success would have been impossible, except for the zealous co-operation of such men as Captain Crawford, Licutenant Gatewood, Lieu- tenant Britton, Davis, and others associ- ated with them in the management of an affuirs on the White Mountain tion. The officers constantly car- ried their lives in their hands; the service in which they were engaged was one of the greatest possible delicacy and danger, where the slightest indis- eretion would have proved fatal to them, But it seemed, in my judgment, the only way in which the Indians could be reached and taught that subordination to authority, which is an essential requi site to any degree of advancement, how- ever slight, toward u state of civilization. For this reason Lallowed ofticers, the value of whose lives was inestimable, to engage in the most desperate duty it ever falls to the lot of soldiers to ber- form."

Buckley. Behind this simple announcement there is an in- teresting story. Mr. Buckley 1s a mute and has eharge of the printing oflice at the Deaf and Dumb nstitute. Last August he sold his property in the vicinity of the institute, and went out to Wyoming, intendingto pre-empt a homestead.
