GEO. B. TZSCHUCK. Sworn and subscribed to in my p 24 duy of Junuary, A. . 1k, N, b Notary Public. DURING the past year one hundred and twenty-three persons were lynched in the United States. Thisshows plainly that wild-eyed justico is still at large. DURING the last six months the coun- cil has paid out $60 & month for o use- less sergeant-ut-arms. Now that su- pernumerary is to officiate as sergeant- at-arms and smeller for the city attor- ney at 875 per month THERE are over $170,000 lying 1dle in the county treasury while the county has 879,000 of warrants out which re- main unpaid for want of funds. This forcibly calls to mind the pocts ex- clamation “Water, water overy- where yet not a drop to drink!” PARNEL doctors state definitely that his diseasc is cancer of the stom- ach. If th is true there is little hope for hjs recovery. The man of indomitable cournge who has held his own against the British government can present no weapon except silent en- durance against this insidious foe. It is a sad case, S— A BILL has been introdauced into the New York legislature providing for the pratection of the man who patronizes the Chinese laundry.

There have already been a number of fatal and serious acci- dents as a resuult of the coasting mania in this city, and it is bigh time thatrac- ing Othrough the streets during the sleighing season should be punished. A. J. PorrLET the general attorney of the Union Pacific railway, has resigned. Judge P.lives in Omaha, is rich, red-faced and watchful of himself lest apoplexy should strike him down.—Philadelphia Record. Mr. Poppleton never was a judge, and never claimed to be a judge, either in front or behind a bar. He is contented with being known as one of the leading Mdtorneys in America. E— €ur Philadelphia bricklayers have @lopted rosolutions gt their last assem- Ay meeting which binds them to insist en a uniform wage-list during the next building season. The stonemasons of Philadelphia have already adopted a scale for 1888, at #8.25 for nine hoursa day. The Omaha masons and bricklayers should lose no time in following this ex- ample and fix the scale of wagesand hours of work for the present year, S—— Tiux half-holiday law passed by the New York legislature last year has been found to be a nuisance, as any one with a grain of common sense might have known. It is of no benefit to anybedy but a serious obstruction to business. Most of those for whom the law was especially enacted have a certain amount, of work to perform during the week and they have to crowd as much labor into five days and a half as thoy otherwise would perform in six. For business mwen who have much to do with banks the law has been a serious hindrance. New York city now elamors loudly for a repeal of the act and a bill has been in- troduced into the New York assembly to that effect. This blundering piece of logislative work should be a warning to the law-making bodies of other states not to attempt a similar folly, —— As general manager for Nebraska of the New York Life insurance company, Dr. George L. Miller will have a much more desirable berth than he would have had us postmaster general. There is o great deal f fascination in public office and political power, but most men whose ambition in that direction has been fully gratified retive after years of hard toil and vexation, bankrupt in health and pocket, Dr. Miller has led too active alife for the past twenty years to bo contented with being a gen- tleman of leisure. His new departure places him ina position of prominence and usefulness, where he can exercise his talents without impairing his health., The New York Life has anchored itself in Omaha forever with a palatial office building, and we antici- pate that Dr, Miller’s time will be pro- fitably employed in supervising its af- fairs in this scetion of the country. The Latest Republicnn Grievanod, The republican journals cannot find words adequate to express their conddémnation - of Mosses, Btewart and Stanford . for Yavieg dared to disregard party’bias so far as to voto for the-candidate of a democratic presi Judgee upon the supreme beneh "he Ber, which for the past year has been ul to say nothing which could in any way mar the chances of the gr and nator Stanford as the coming repub- sidential candidate who was to wiy out a democratic administration and defeat Cleveland in the faco of destiny, has suddenly discovered that Stanford is a greedy railrond monopolist and that Mr, s to be used a8 an instrument on the judicial bench to f ther railway interests, 1t states that b already bargained to this end, and as a proof of it cites his dismissal of Sparks from the department. A fow weeks aeo it denounced Mr. Sparks, but now eulogizes him as all that was honorable, and asa martyr to his honesty. Such a sudden change of heart would be wonderful w it actuated by honest principlos. But the us sortions are not only flatly contradictory of previous ones, but like them, totally unsup ported. The Bue calmly asks an intelligent public "to belicve that President Cl and and his democratic cabinet are part and paj to the unholy compact alleged, and to be- lieve it upon its bare assertion. Itis to Mr. L. nd the present democratic adminis tration that tho country owes its inter-stute commerce law and its commissions which have revealed the corporation rascalities that ve been going on without hindrance under mty-five years of ropublican rule and re- publican supreme judges, to say nothing of the millions of acres of land which have been rescued from these corrupt pools by the indi vidual efforts of Mr. Lamar. Certainly Mr. Lamar's record would éndica him as the last man in t o nation from whom these cor- porationswould expect favor, - Omaha Her ald There are but two explanations of the misrepresontations of the Ber con- tained in this puerile utterance of our increasingly dull and stupid contempo- rary. Theyare due to cither ignorance of the course of this puper or to willful mendacity, with the cireumstances rather in favor of the latter. 11 is true that the editor of the Hevald is new to Omaba journalism, but he hus been hero long enough to become familine with the attitude of the BEE regarding ex-C'om- missioner Sparks, and any member of his staff of longer experience in Omaha could have told him what estimate this paper has alw placed on Senator Stanford. Tne this view we can only r gard the misrepresentations as having been wantonly and willfully made, with what motive is a matter of no concern. The readers of the Brr will not need to be told that this paper has never denounced Mr. Spurks, or said anything regarding him that could possibly be construed to his detriment. On the contrary wo have always maintained that Sparks was thoroughly honest i his policy and aims, and while his course was not al- ways free from mistakes his intention at all times was to promote and conserve what he believed to be the interests and welfare of the government and the people. We were unsparing in con- domning the successful effort of Lamar to drive Sparks out of the land office, and the belief then expressed that the pursuit of the ex-commissioner was to satisfy the demands of the corporations Las beon strengthened by subsequent ci mstances strongly confirmatory i their character. To what extent, if any, President Clovbland or other members of the administration may have been parties to or cognizant of Lamar’s now apparently evident compact involving the deposal of Sparks and Le Barnes, we have never expressed an opinion. In relation to the action of soveral con- gressmen in bringing the removal of Le Barnes to the attention of the presi- dent we said simply that Mr. Cleveland could bo depended upon not to do any: thing inimical to the chances of Lamar, and that he would be governed by the advice of the friend for whom he enter- tains a *“‘positive affection.” If this in- volves the president as a party to the contract we have noapology to make. So far as we have seen Mr. Cleveland has paid no attention to the protost of the congressmen against the removal of Le Barnes. As to Senator Stanford, the BEE has repeatedly during the past year, and many times before, scored him in terms which would leave no doubt of its com-- plete condemnation of his whole career and character. We regard him still as a thoroughly unserupulous and danger- ous man, and the fact of his voting to confirm Lamar is the strongest possible circumstantial evidence of an under- standing between them. The idea that we ever could have thought of Stanford as a possible republican candidate for the presidency is so pre- posterously absurd as to almost discredit the editor of the Herald as a man of ordinary common sense. As well think of Jay Gould, Huntington or any other of the notorious band of rail- road wreckers and plunderers, as a presidential candidate. Any one of them would have an equal chance be- fore the people with Stanford, and the least objectionable one among them could not carry a single state. The very perceptible de Herald editorially is a miseration, but this is a fault easily remedied. Competent ability can be found in abundant supply. But when mendacity, apparently without any tional motive, is conjoined with w ness, there is a degrading union that can result only in disaster. line of the matter for com- The Wool Conference. There is not the most remote proba- bility that the schedule of revised tariff rates on wool and woolen manvfactures, adopted by the conference of wool grow ers and manufacturers held in Washing- ton last week, will receive the favorable consideration of congress, except so far, perhaps, as it may suggest corrections of inconsistencies and abuses shown to exist. The demand of the conference is that the wool tariff of 1867 shall be substantially vestored, by which duties on all grades would be materially in- creased, and that there be an addition of fifteen por cent ad valorem on woolen goods, so that the manufacturer would be fortified against the increased cost of the raw material. Reduced to its last effect, the proposition is to increase the cost to the consumer of all woolen goods from 25 to 40 per cent. Manifestly there is no possible chance for the success of such a proposition in the present con- s¢ and with the pge= fing feeling in the country regarding tariff. revision. The eonference performed its work to no purpese unless its. deraand for more protection shall have the effect of pre- venting any scrivus interference with that it now enjoys. This much the wool growers and manufacturers may perhaps hope for. It is to be remarked, however, the wool manufacturers are not in fuvor of an increaso of the tariff either on wool or its products, and some are favorable to a reduc tion on both. It is said that sev- eral who were members of the confe ence strongly objected in committee to the schodule as adopted, and are taking stops to organize the manufacturers op- posed to a high wool tariff for the pur- pose of antagoniz bofore congress the conferenco schedule. There has been a great deal said by leading man- ufucturers during the past few weeks in- dicative of o material change from the views they have hitherto profossed. The president of the Connecticut car- pet company, which employs more than eighteen hundred porsons and uses seven million pounds of wool each year, said of the tariff on carpet wools that itis simply for revenus, and vot at all for protection, sinco such wools can- not e had in this country only in v limited amounts. Nearly the whole supply of wools used in the manufacture of carpets comes from South America, |{l|\~i'l Egypt, vand the cast generally. The pro- hn tion from the duty on these wools is really in favor of the foreign manuf. who, getting his raw material free, is enabled to undersell the Amer- wean manufacturer. Durving the last fiscal year there were exported from the United States only 7,716 yavds of carpet, the domestic market was glutted. nufucturers in other lines have been equally explicit in expressing the opin- ion that the tariff on wool should not be inereased, while some havo insistod that free wool would ultimately be to the ad- vantage of both the growers and the manufacturers, in that 1t would enable the latter to greatly argo their trade with other countries and therceby increase the demand for the raw mate- vinl. A Boston paper, assorting that the interests of New Eugland are clearly on the side of free wool, or at lonst o lower wool tariff, says: “Our New England woolen mills foel the burden of the taxes on their raw mate- L in the shapo of a restricted mutkot. Especially the great Now England ecar- pet industrios at Lowell, Clinton, Wor- coster and Longmeadow are heavily handicapped by the tak on carpet wools, all of which must be imported.” These oxpressions indicate the character and strength of the opposition that will be made to the proposed restoration of the wool tariff of 1867, The assamption of the conference that the reduction in the tariff on wool in 1883 is wholly responsible for the subsc quent docrease in the number of sheepin the country, amounting in three years to about six million, is by no means im- pregnable. Tho truth is the decline of the sheep husbandry was very marked during the greater part of the high tariff period after 1857. In that year there were 30,000,000 sheep in the eight principal wool-growing states east of the Mississippi, and ten years later the num- ber had declined to 15,000,000. There was an increase meanwhile in the west and southwest, but in 1879 the total number had fallen from 39,300,000 to 38,100,000, Then there was an in t0 49,200,000 in 1883, siu which Y.huu bas Dbeen a falling off, though the number of sheep in the country now is greator by five million than at any time during the high taviff period prior to the year 1883, Obvi- ously there were conditions at wor which the tariff was powerless to ovel come that prodyced a falling off, during the twenty years from 1867 to 1857, from 26,000,000 to 14,000,000 in the flocks of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Tow It will thus be seen that there ave two sides to this question, and that the weight of argumont % rather with those who, while asking no legislation detri- mental to the wool intevest of the country, demand that just consideration Do given the whole people who are the consumers of the manufactures of wool. This would not be done by restoring the wool tariff of 1867. — Very Small Business, Our amiable friends, the Lincoln newspapers, are very much incensed because the Omaha postofice bill has been given precedence in the senate committee on public buildings over the bills for proposed postoffice buildings at Plattsmouth, Fremont, Beatrice, Hast- ings and Grand Island. Indignation meetings ave called for by the Lincolu vapers in all these towns to mob the Nebraska delegation should they dare toallow the Omaha bill to pass ahead of the others. Our Lincoln contempor- aries exhibit altogether too much dis tress over matters which only concern Omaha and the other oities named. Have they ever shown as much interest for. Fremont, Beatrice, Hast- ings and nd Island when ap- propriat ¢ pending in the legis- lature? Did ever any Lincoln paper eall for tndignation meetings in those s when the Lancaster delegation was pushing appro- priation bills for the capital building and publie 1nstitutions which are located at Lincoln, ahead of appro- priation bills for institutions in other cities The bill for the proposed public build- ing in Omaha naturally comes up first with bills for public buildings in other metropolitan cities. Its prior consfder- ation does not in the least interfere with the claims or chaacesof other cities in this state. Congross does not make appropriations by states. Its policy is and always has been to erect a public building at each state capital and in overy city that ranks as & comercial center, That is the reason why Omaha and Lincoln have secured appropria- tions for public buildings years ago. Other cities of Nebraska are not in the least hampered by the fact that these huildings exist, or by any project to en- large or replace them by more commo- dious buildings. It is a very small busi- ness, to suy the least, for Lincoln papers that all to try to array ;he other :cities -of Nes braska ugnln-t Omuha on such flimsy pretoxt. t—— AccorniNg to County Treagurer Bolln's report, the railrond sinking fund now in the county treasury, and held for the redemption of the county’s railrond debt, amounts to 4 8.81. This large sum is laying unproductive in the county treasury, while at the same time tho county is paying 7 to 10 per cent interest on its railrond bouds, and 7 per cent on its outstanding unpaid registered war- Now, it strikes us a little fing e by the county commissioners would be of material advantage to the taxpayers of Douglas county. Why can not the commissioners invest this sink- ing fund surplus in interest bearing bonds? They can veadily, if they do not want to buy long time bonds, invest in paving bonds which bear interest at not less than 6 per cont. It is certainly o very poor oconomy to leave $34,000 in the railroad sinking fund without in- come when the money ean be placed on good security and yield over 2,000 a year inter T success of the anti-Randall dem- ocrats in securing control of the demo- cratic state committee of Pennsylvania is the most. notable defeat th leador of tho protectionist element of the democracy has met with in o long time.
