Editor Morrissey’s Matters--Carpentel tors««County Bond 1cal Delegates- Foe — Mortuary and Contrace ‘ypograph- Local News. Cleveland 8at Upon, Yesterday morning & BEE reporter sought and obtained the following inter- views with citizens of Omaha touching the action of President Cleveland in ordering the return to the southern states of the confederate flags captured in battle by federal troops during the late war: Max Meyer—Ail memorials of victory in battle, all war trophies, should be kept by the country capturing them; that is, taking into consideration the usages of all nutions in such matters. I think the president’s action is caleulated, 1n a mea- sure, to revive the old sectional strife which has been so huppily expiring dur- ing late years, Mr. W. V. Morse—Am of the opinion that if these confederate flags were to be returned it would have been the graceful thing for congress to have empowered the Grand Army to take this step if the Grand Army felt soinclined. Sheritt Coburn—I do not hesitate to des nounce the whole business an unqualitied outrage. Those flags ¢ put there an act of congress and it should tak Jower Lo remove them, ity Treasurer John Rush—I am not given to profanity, but if 1 ¢, would use some very tropical | to ex- press my indignation. \Zs are Bouvenirs which, in future generations, would be a most potent factor in procre- ating patriotism. 1 also believe in for- giving and forgetting, but think that every citizen in the north, whether demo- crat or republican, should feel a very de- cided indignation over this arbitrary act of C 's. It is an outrage. Frederic! ‘I‘iun‘t think Cle any right to retura these flags. They belong to the archives of the government, in which the whole peo- are interested. It will make one of lankedest rows the country hy xperienced if he persists in carrying out this infamous order. Charles L. Thomas—The restoration of these war memorials to their old rebel- lious owners would be a most flagrant outrage. It cannot help but meet with a ng protest throughout the whole north. Major Hobert Williams—I don't belicve d has or ever will issuc such an order. If he does, that will settle him with me. He couldn’t get my vote. Postmaster Gallagher—If it is a fact that the president has made such an order, 1 thoroughly dissent from his views on t ject. Thosc tlags should remain in the ds of the el al gov- ernment, in memory of the victory of union over disunion. Captain J, S. France—It is a blamed outrage, and strikes me as an usurpation part of the president, as if he was straining his powers as chief executive to intentionally insult the union soldiers. Charle? E. Burmester—Think ves land should inform himself. Don't think he has any power to return_those flags, and will venture to say further that if the Grand Army was calfed upon to take these rags over again they'd into the ranks and do it too quick. ady to go. Fraok E. Moores—It is a — out- rage, and I want you to put it in just as I auK it 4 fajor William Chambers—Ditto, only I don’t want such flowery language to show up in the BEE. John A. Creighton—Won't express an opinion until I know justexactly whether Thave one to express or not. I'll wait and sec just what 1s done. James Casey,Arcade Hotel—There are 88,000 words 1n the Engiish Ianguage,but t number is \tmlllz;i suflicient to press the length and breadth and depth of my indignation, J. R. Manchester— It scems that a great m;m{ of the old soldiers have lived to see the day when they must through their chief executive truckle und apologize to traitors, but we little thought 11, 1865 that the country would ever place & coward and copperhead in the exccutive cha If some one could have foreseen this act of humiliation, while Mead and Sher- man’s men were encamped around Washington, there would have been no rebel dlags or banners left for distribu- tion. Won't some democratic organ P]""“ relieve my feehngs by yelling ‘bloody shirt.” M. A, Risdon—I believe it to be a studied insult to the Grand Army of the Republic, because it was announced that body would not receive him at St. Loui 1t is also an attempt to bolster up confed- erate bonds,which, as you know,hav - preciated in Europe from one hundred and forty to two hundred. THE COURTS, The Business Transactions Before All Our Tribunals, In the United States circuit court the case of Calvin Manning et. al. vs, Ely Sherf et. al. is being argued.

Stephenson avelared that he had purchased them in good faith from a young man and paid for them, and refused to surrender the m. A suit in replevin was coinmenced but when the papers were sought to be exe- cuted, it was discovered that the mules had been shipped from the city.

McDonuell, F.-A. L. A, Architoct, N. E. cor. 10th aud Dodge, EDITOR MORRISSEY'S TOE. He Applies It With Force to Mr. Henry Gibson. For some time there has been a feeling between the business department of the Herald and the editorial staff. This, it 18 said, has been due to a disposition on the part of the business end to dictate the policy of the sheet and to as- sume control of the various de- partments, This feeling culminated yes- terday 1 a4 personal encou between Editor Morrissey and Henry ( son, the latter of the Herald job rooms, Since the sale of the paper to John A. McShane by Miller & Richardson, the job department has becn more than ever divorced from the newspaper. The paper, however, has employed a job room artist to ms portraits. Wednesday after- noon Mr. Gibson entered the room of Editor Morrissey and demanded that be a scttlement for the done for the paper by the job room. Mr. Morissey said he had nothing to do with the payment of the bills—that belonged to the business department. He could only O. K. such work as he had ordered don Mr. Gib- dd be blankety blanked if the thing didn’t have to be settled right then and there. The Celtic blood of kd- itor Morrissey boiled forthwith and nhe bounded from his revolving chair. Morrissy grasped Mr. Gibson by the nape of the neck and as he hustled him to the door he repeatedly applied the toe of his boot to the bosom of Mr. Gibson's trousers. The affuir created a sensation about the office. 1t said yesterday that Mr. Gibson intended taking out a warrant for Mr. Morrissey’s arvest on a charge of ussaultand battery. In connection with the internecine war which has so long agitated the vicinity of the Herald it is further stated that J. A. Mathews, for over a year busi- ness manager of the vaper, has resigned. Yesterday he was presented with a gold- headed cane and a beautiful watch charm by the Herald emvloyes outside the editorial rooms. The latter refused to take a part, 1t is understood, and also refused to make a mention of the presen- tation 1n the columnsof the paper. Mr. Mathews will remain in Omaha and look after his real estate interests. His suc- cessor has not yet be named, MORTUARY MATTERS, Something About Those of Omaha Who are Lately Decceased.

The types will tell you that the prices are the lowest in the city,but an examination of the garments alone will convince you how good they are, and that they are really sold far below their value. Our stock is unquestionably the largest and most comprehensive in the city and is not exceeded in extentor variety by those of even the most important houses in the east. Knowing wehave a large trade and perfect facilities, manufacturers and importers give us first choice on lots on which they are overstocked, and which they have tosacrifice. If the goods are strictly desirable we command the lowest prices by paying prompt cash, no matter how large the lot. The system of selling every article at a very small profit and mark- ing down at even less than cost, those goods which do not move quickly, 1s aruling principle of our business. Today we are opening several lots of flannel and mohair coats and yests, bought at about one half thevrice that was asked for them early in the season, and we have marked them accordingly, All goods marked in plain figures and at one price.
