T rush of inferior cattle to the markets during the past season has kept the price of beef at a low ebb and there has been little profit in stock raising. Good judges now confidently predict better times for the cattlemen by a de- cided advance in price. —— — e Tie Pullman Palace Car company re- fused to pay taxes on 1ts rolling stock in Kansas and the controversy is now in the United States circuit court. The Pullman company has developed into one of the closest and greediest corpora- tions in the country, and should be brought to terms. SENATOR SABIN, of Minnesota, is a pronounced tariff reformer, He thinks that a reduction sufficient to take care of the surplus will hurt no one, and that as the experiment must be made some time, it might as well be made at once, 80 that we may see how it works. This expresses very well the general senti- ment of the west. EEm——— JAMES TROTTER, whosucceeded Fred- erick Douglas as recorder of deeds at ‘Washington, thinks that his race would fare better by dividing its vote between the two parties. The colored man would then be courted and loved for the bal- lots he couldjeast. Mr. Trotter’sconcep- tion of political principles rests on the basis of loaves and fishes. 8T. Lou1s capitalists are said to have taken the initiative for rapid transit on the Mississippi by ordering the construc- tion of a steel steamboat. This, it is claimed, will make the trip between that city and St. Paul in half the time required by the wooden boats now in use. An innovation of this kind has long been needed. River navigation cannot hope to compete successfully with the railroads on the old methods. THERE is a serious dispute between General Sheridan and his mother as to the place where he was born. General Sheridan insists that he was born in Albany, N. Y., on the 6th of March, 1831, His mother claims that he was born at Somerset, Ohio, on the 6th of March, 1831, Mother and son agreeing ns to the date we concede that the gen- eral’smemory isgood as to dates,but as to places we should take his mother’s memory to be more reliable. She ought to remember best where that lit- @e accldent happened. ——— CITY CLERK SOUTHARD pretends to be very indignant because the editor of the BeEr made the statement in his recent speech bofore the hoard of trade that one of Southard’s deputies, while handling Uncle Sam’s mail sacks, had taken out things that did not belong to him. Will Mr. Southard call on Thercn N. Parker, florist, Boyd’s opera house, who was in the railway postal service for thirteen yoars and in charge of the mail car in which the pilfering was dono? If Parker’s veracity is called in question, we will furnish the names of two other men who were in the postal service when those irregularities took place. By the way, irregulamty is a mild name for appropriating things passing through the mails, isn’t it? EES———— HASCALL and his coparceners will have to drop that scheme to bond the county for $50,000 for grading in and sround the city. Thereis no law for bonding the county for such a purpose, and there is no law authorizing the com- missioners to do such work in this city even if they had a surplis in the county treasury, There was a law passed three years ago to authorize counties to lay out, improve, and pave roads connect- ing with streets in citiesof the first class. Although this law was enacted expressly for the benefit of Omaha, it is o dead letter now for the reason that it applies only tocities of the first class,and not to cities of the metropolitan class, Thanks to the interference with the new charter by some of the legislative boodlers and the Omaha contractors, the Douglas delegation was prevented from perfecting all the laws relating to this city and county. The Hugh Murphys and their ilk of contractors mow have their own reward. They have not only crippled this city in prevent- ing the establishment of parks and ‘boulevards and other much needed im- provements, but they have blocked themselves in grading and paving schemes, which the county was form- erly authorized to carry om. Nebraska Prohibitionists. . The prohibition party of Nebraska has held its convention and promulgated its platform.. There is a familiar ring and well-known spirit characterizing the declaration of principles which show it to be the work of practiced hands, It warrants the inference that the party is still dominated by the managers who have been in control for a number of years, a fact upon which the party can- not be very heartily congratulated. We miss none of the usual platitudes, and the customary arvaignment of both the republican and democratic parties is as vigorous as ever. In all respects the .plattorm is just what was to have been expected from the third party, and per- haps for this reason lacks impressive- ness. No state has given the prohibition party a wider scope for the dissemina- tion of its principles, and for bringing about a practical application of temper- ance reform, than has Nebraska. Under its high license and local option law there is no obstacle to the adoption of prohibition wherever in counties or towns a majority of the people desire it. But this has not satisfied the prohibi- tionists. In lowa and Kansas there are stringent prohibition laws, and yet the third party in those states is not satis- fied. Tt insists that prohibition cannot be made successful until the third party is at the helm. In other womls it must have the political power. Thisis what its dissatisfaction means, and this is what its leaders are seeking. Thus far its efforts have resulted generally in giving political power to the enemy o( all temperance reform, the democrac; As a third party the prohibmonnts come into the arena fora tight, and they must not complain if they are handled without kid gloves, They may succeed in defeating the republican party once more by withdrawing from it in close states large numbers of misguided voters who imagine the millenium is at hand. Such professed prohibitionists as John B. Finch, who was, in fact, a democrat laboring for democratic supremacy, may succeed again in inducing republicans to leave their party and by voting with the pro- hibitionists help the democracy. But rational people, who sincerely desire to lessen and destroy the evils of the liquor traffic, will see no gain to the cause of true temperance in democratic rule. The prohibitionists of Nebraska have bitterly denounced the attitude of the democratic party with regard to tem- perance legislation, but they very calmly propose to do all they can to keep the democratic party in tho place and power which it achieved through prohibitiogepropagandists threo years ago. And what is true of the third party in Nebraska és equally true of it in all the other states. E— Too Much Secrecy. Senator Teller of Colorado will *gain in the estimation of the country by the vosition he has taken in opposition to the growing policy of withholding from the people information relating to the publicinterests, and particularly against the star chamber practice of the senate. The very brief reforence to his speech telegraphed is simply suggestive of what he said on this subject, respecting which reform is so urgently demanded, but it cannot be doubted that he pre- sented the matter with his wonted vigor, clearness and courage. It is certainly a theme which a senator who believes that the people ought to know what their representatives say and do under all circumstances ought to be able to talk on with spirit and force, and the sena- tor from Colorado is notlacking in these qualities when the matter he talks about commands his serious interest. There is too much secrecy in govern- mental affairs to be quite cousistent with our republican system, and the fault is not growing less. So far as the secret session practice of the senate is concerned it is so essentially unrepubli- can that we wonder any man having a just appreciation of the character of American institutions can be found to defend it. It is especially obnoxious and reprehensible in the matter of appointments sent by the president to the senate for confirmation, serving as it does to en- able senators, without incurring the least responsibility, to gratify their per- sonal or political grievances and lit- erally to assassinate the character of private citizens from ambush. As to the consideration of treaties, circum- stances may arise in which secrecy would be expedient, but these would happen but ravely. As a rule the people are entitled to know what com- pacts their government proposes to enter into with other governments, and to be given an opportunity to express their judgment regarding them. They also have the right to know what those who represent them in the senate think on these as on all other subjects, to the end that they shall be deservedly held responsible for failure to act agreeably to the popular wish. We are not surprised that the defenders of the secret session failed to successfully answer the arguments of Mr. Teller, for the practice is one of those usurpations of privilege which cannot be success- fully defended in a branch of the Amer- ican congress. It is so clearly undemo- cratic, so plainly hostile to the right of the people to be fully informed regard- ing all the acts and opinions "of their representatives in their legislative ca- pacity, that it simply cannot haye any reasonable or plausible defense. EEemy— The Taxpayers' Meeting. The taxpayers’ meeting at the cham- ber of commerce will be largely at- tended. Property owners and business men are thoroughly aroused and in- tensely interested. Th®y realize that Omaha is in the hands of reckless and dishonest men who are plunging the city headlong into debt by collusion with contractors and public plunderers. But any attempt of Hascall and the cohorts of contractors to control the meeting will be resented as an outrage, and cannot fail to intensify public sen- timent against the high-handed methods which have characterized the course of a majority of the present council since it came into power. The meeting has been called by the board of trade in the interest of good government. The object in view is an expression of sentiment by taxpaying . m\.‘ E "‘Wfl } o~ citizens upon qnonlons which involve | Omaha's growth and prosperity, and the individual interests of each taxpayer. Members of the council are invited to attend this meeting in order that they may learn what their constituents de- sire or disapprove. If they attempt to bulldoze the meeting into an endorse- ment of their conduct or if they propose to throttle public sentiment by monop- olizing the time of the meeting with personal havangues they will discover to their sorrow that there are more ways than one to express public opinion. Within forty- eight hours the BEE can print and bring within the hearing of the pub- lic the individual views of five thousand taxpnyers. We can reach thousands of men who will be unable to find standing room in the chamber of commerce. 1f Haseall and his followers want to hear themselves talk let them hire a hall The meeting of the taxpayers was not called to hear them, unless it be in re- sponse Lo questions on which light is sought to be obtained. e———— WhAT is the street commissioner doing now? Why can't he supervise the cleaning of gutters and removal of obstructions that have accumulated on our business thoroughfares during the winter? He is paid to do such work, but the council seems interested to have this work done by the strect sweeping contractors. The commissioner draws $150 o month whether he is idle or at work. He oan boss the spring cleaning just as well as Slaven & Fanning, who, of course, are allowed extra for such work. At Indianapolis the street com- missioner does the entire cleaning of streets, while in Omaha thousands of dollars are squandered on work that is properly among the street commission- er’s functions and extras are voted for cleaning wretchedly done or not done at all. Last summer, for instance, the street sweeping contractors were allowed pay for cleaning and sweeping Dodge street, when in fact they did not do the work and the chairman of the board of public works refused to certifv to the bogus claim. THE citizens of Omaha are asked to vote another $100,000 of sewer bonds at a special “eleotion next month. How much of this 100,000 will it take to pay for the sewers that are already -built in violation of law? - What advantage will it be to taxpayers to load up with more bonds to help the boodlers out of‘the hole into which they have recklessly plunged by creating an uverlnp in the sewer fund? —— Other Lands Than Ours. The policy of the British government in Ireland has received some trenchant blows in parliament, in the course of the discussion thus far on the address in re- ply to the queen’s speech, und it has also encountered a vigorous exhibition of popular disapproval. ‘The public greeting to the Irish prisoners in Lon- don last Tuesday furnished overwhelm- ing testimony to the seutiment of the masses regarding the policy of coer- cion. So vast and enthusiastic a crowd is not often seen every day in London, and the men who suffered hardship and contumely at the hands of British offic- ials in Ireland were given such a popu- lar ovation as is only recorded to great conquerors returned from their triumphs. The accounts say that at least ten = thousand men gave up their day’s work and marched along Piccadilly to Hyde Park, “‘wearing of the green,” while many women marched in the line with their babes in their arms. It was an occasion to profoundly impress not only London, but all England. The discussion in the house of commons has been marked by a geuerally discreet but determined spirit on the part of thg opposition to the government. The remarks of Mr. Parnell on moving his amendment to the queen’s speech was a dispassionate effort, but neither promised nor implied any concessions. William O’Brien, however, was more aggressive and did not stop short of a vigovous denuncia- tion of the government’s course, a task for which he had both the inspira- tion and the qualifications, M. Morley has also done effective service for the liberal cause in the commous, and altogether that cause has evidently not lost ground. Meanwhile the vepre- sentatives of the government manifest no disposition to recedo in the least de- gree from their policy in Ireland, but on the contrary have shown a purpose to extend this policy to its furthest limit, it would seem with the design of exasperating the people beyond en- durance and pushing them to revolt. No other reasonable inference is possi- ble from the arrest of Irish members of parliament in London, a proceeding that might well excuse revolution and would certainly produce it were the Irish people not in a condition of helplessness. The cabinet has adopted the mnew local govern- ment bill, and this measure, which is awaited. with a good deal of interest, will probably be reported without much further delay. As it has been framed to meet the views of the liberal union- ists, it is not anticipated that any diffi- culty will be found in passingit. It contemplates an advance in the direc- tion of democracy, and will, therefore, not be pleasing to the extreme conserv- atives, * . The mantle of peace which Bismarck spread over Europe has not been dis- turbed by any fresh alarms, and the con- clusion seems general that no serious difficulty is imminent. At a dinner given the members of the reichs- tag, Bismarck renewed his pacific assurances, referring to the utterances of some Russian newspapers as a aymp- tom of a general desire for peace—a rather inconsistent reference, by the way, in view of what he had previously said respecting his entire lack of confi- dence in newspaper statements. Never- theless Russia’s military preparations go steadily forward, and it is not easy for one not behind the scenes to under- stand how Bismarck can continue to promise peace in face of the evidence that Russia is pursuing a course which can mean nothing but war, eventually if not soon. The world is certainly dis- posed to accept the assurances of the German chancellor, chiefly on scoro that he hu the power above every other man in'Europe to preserve the peace, but it must do so with a misgiving as to whether he fully means all that§ he says, and whether, like a merciful §yrgeon, he is not sooth- ing the patientinto confidence and re- pose before applfing the knife. Obvi- ously Russia has a purpose to which she is most determiyedly devoted, and it is & purpose which"‘}urone cannot permit her to accomplish, and which it will be the especial office of Germany to frus- trate. That purpose is the reviving of vrestige which in the eyes of the Rus- sian people is every day diminished by what is going on in the Balkan penin- sula. Every war which Russia has un- dertaken in castern Europe since 1815 has had for its objects either the pushing of the frontier nearer to the Bosphorus, or the capture of Constantinople, or the erection in the peninsula,asatemporary expedient, of a series of vassal states, which would remain under Russian in- fluence until she was ready to swallow them up. The wars of 1828, of 1853, and of 1877 ali had these objects in view, and were all at their close apparently successful; that is, they either wrested territory from Turkey or wenakened Turkey so her final break-up would be hastened. What is making the present crisis is the fact which is now becoming perfectly plain to the Russian court and army, and that portion of the people which reads newspapers, that all these efforts have been literally in vain. The growth of Servia, Roumania, and Bul- garia under the fostering hand of Ger- many and Austria bids fairin a very short time to put an end to the vision, in which the imagination of every patriotic Russinn has revelled ever since Peter the Great, of a southern capital on the Bosphorus, and a revival of the eastern empire on a scale of which Congantine never dreamed. The Russian publie are only just now wak- ing up to this fact, and it is probably the most unpleasant fact in their his- tory, the first apparently irretrievable political disaster. The question, what is to be done about it? isa knotty one, but it is one which the czar’s ndvisers are probably every day asking them- selves. Why troops should be concen- trated in midwinter on the Austrian frontier is, of course,unless some action was in contemplation, hard tosay, but it may be that it was simply due to that necessity for doing even mean- ingless things in times of per- plexity to which puzzled people resort to relieve their nérves or gain time for thought. The conclusion which delib- eration is suvc$to bring in this case, however, is that gunless the war ends in subjecting the wijole Balkan peninsula to Russian rule or Russian influ- ence, it will have been waged in vain, and probably the czar has no counsellor bold enough to tell him that any such result may safely be looked for. It will not do, when it is over, to turn to his subjects and telbwthem that they have at least lost nothing. On this occasion he would have to show them \vh\n. they had gained. After giving prg he of a hwsfh form¥in its systent of governm yzqu has most unexpegedly taken the huck track, and there Are now ‘indications o areturn toa po\lqy of absolutism more extremo than ever. . At the end of 1885 Japan crowned the series of revolutions begun in 1868 by apparently -eliminat- ing the Asiatic features of her govern- ment. The triple premiership common to China, Corea and Nippon was abol- ished, several courses of official inter- mediaries between the throne and the people were removed, 8,000 unnecessary office-holders were discharged, and her ministers of state were appointed byand made responsible to the mikado. Young men ecducated in Europe or America were made the chief executive servants and close councillorsof the emperor, who became more than ever an actual ruler. All this was in the direction of healthy reform and in thespivitof the revolution of 1868, as embodied in the oath of the mikado to form a government based on public opinion. The closing days of 1887, however, have seen a different and disappointing state of affairs. On the 26th of December, like a roar of thunder, followed by a flash of light- ning out of a blue sky, an imperial re- seript dated December 25 was published. It laid a ban on all secret societies and assemblies, and authorized the police to put a stop, without recourse, to open- air meetings. With the sanction of the minister of home affairs they were to warn away, deport or imprison all sus- pected persons living within eight miles of the palace. To the cabinet were given full powers to “proclaim districts imperilled by popular excitement,” and practically to put the whole body of the people therein under martial law, There has ensued a policy of coercion and proscription of the severest kind, and it is apparent that the prospect of Japanese absolutism becom- 1ng a constitutional monarchy, or her people having any real share in the functions of goyegnment during this century, are uum‘fixmdiugly remote, No doubt the advisers of the emperor have the right ¢ protect themselves, knowing their dangers, Still, so long as such methods! are even supposed necessary, it is an idle dream for Japan- ese to imagine that western govern- ments will yield their extra-territorialty claims, or allow their citizens to come under such risks, “The best friends of Japan can but hope that the recent measures are the: vesult of overstrained nerves, and will by their authors be allowed to fall into “innocuous desue- tude.” If, however, such acts are re- peated, the world will not be deceived as to the real character of Japan’smuch- boasted *‘civilization.” *"s Lord Dufferin, who has just resigned the yiceroyalty of India, has had along, and 1n many respects successful, diplo- matic career. As viceroy of India his policy was conservative, especially in his dealings with Russia over the dis- puted Afghan boundary. Still, if he had been properly backed up by the im- perial government he would doubtless have permanently manued the Afghan frontier with Indian troops. This, under the circumstances, he could not do; and the spanning by Russia of the Oxus with a railvead, while the Indian railroad to Candahar remains uncom- y»lé pleted, has zlm the fomsr Y great advantage. Tn truth, the situa- tlon is such as will call for the' exercise of greatability on the part of his suc- cessor, Lord Lansdowne, » ' A French traveler states that great preparatibns are in progress in Salonica to make it a commercial port and con- nect it by railroad with the main Euro« pean lines. * The French and Austrians are particularly busy in perfecting ar- rangements for their steamship lines to Egypt and the East Indies, the Aus- teians evidently being of the opinion that they will soon have possession of their long coveted outlet by water, the way to which was conceded to them by the Berlin treaty. Russia meanwhile, shut out by Bulgaria, must stand by and witness these operations, though ! she had to bear the burden of the war which resulted in such valuable con- cession to her rival. — PROM!

Lovery, Quartermaster, TOLD HIM TO GO. The Way Towa Commissioners Get Rid of Their Paupers. A giantof & man and woman, together with their little daughter, have been haunt- ing the county commissioners and pursuing the city authorities for the past few days with tales of woe and suffering. The man says his name is Sam Warren, and if he is to be belicved he must have had an exciting time with the county commissioners of Spirit Lake, In. He alleges that he moved there from Omaha last July, and remained there long enough to gain a residence. Securing omployment at pressing hay he continued at it until he was compelled to desist owing to the illness of his wife. What little mno\' he had saved was spent in buying medicine and in the support of his family. During the cold spell he applied to the commissioners for coal and was given 500 pounds. When this was exhausted he again sent in an ap- plication for more, and in turn was refused and given a written order to leave the county within a fortnight. The commissioners main- tained that he was a resident of Omaha, and insisted he should return. To this proposi- tion Warren objected, but the edict hnd gone forth and he had to go. He was assisted with railroad tickets to Omaha for himself, wife and child, and the freight was paid on his household effects. Tllurs‘i the trio, “*broke"’ in pocket and homeless, told their story to the county commissioners here and demanded shelter for themselves and their furniture. This request was denied them, and the com- missioners wanted them to go back to Spirit. Lake, agreeing to ‘m.\ their pass: Warren refused to accept the offer, wunt way in high feather, and was yestérday busying himselt in trying to secure relief of the city aus thorities.

The funeral took place in the afternoon at 1 0'clock from the hospital, the remains being buried in St. Mary's ceme- tery.
