FRIL, Nollry Publie. AVERAGE DAILY CIRCULATION 18,230 e — TiE SUNDAY BEE to-morrow will be fully up to its usual standard of excel- lence. Among the numerous attractive and superb features exoressly prepared for it will be a Washington letter con- cerning the management of the govern- ment printing office and a readable and gossipy budget from our San Francisco correspondent; an hour with Nebraska poets; a special article criticising the shabby and ungrateful manner in which our government has treated the pension claims of revolutionary war heroes; “Pen Pictures of Dago Alley;” a his- tory of the origin of Decoration day, and “The Talkative Gripmaun.” Among the departments selected and compiled will be ‘“For the Ladies;” “Marriage and Divorce;” “The Animal Kingdom;” ‘““Among the Electricians,” and other fresh and readable miscel- lany. The summary of local news will be complete and interesting. The full- est review of the week’s society events ever published in any paper in Omaha, together with an original secret society department, adds another teature to be appreciated. The special cablegrams conveying information from all the principal news centers of the old world, coupled with our complete and perfect special telegraphic service throughout the United States, has long been recognized as a leading feature of THE SUNDAY BEE. e — A SNAKE appeared on the floor of the New York stock exchange the other day. Tt is not stated out of what stock- broker’s boots it crawled. Tur Omaha and Council Bluffs wagon bridge looms up with graceful propor- tions. If the work goes on as rapidly as it now progresses the wagon commu- nication between the two cities will be perfected before fall. By the way, did anyone see the railroad attachment which is said to belong to the bridge? A convicer of New York is writing a book on *“Crime; Its Origin and Proper Treatment.” As Sing Sing is now pretty well filled with ex-bank presidents, cashiers and other high-toned magnates, it would not be strange for Ferdinand Ward or some other literary convict to turn his hana to writing books. ‘WOMEN as school directors have not turned out a success in New York. A Mrs. Dodge who was on the school board received an anonymous letter attacking the character of a pretty lady teacher. She hired a private detective to *‘follow”’ the youg lady, and getting manufactured evidence from the detec- tive, she allowed her zeal to run away with her discretion by exposing the young teacher. It now turns out that the school teacher has an irreproach- able character, and Mrs. Dodge has a Lig libel suit on her bands. THE stocks of grain in Chicago ele- vators May 19 were 4,700,000 bushels of sheat, 8,325,000 bushels of corn, 1,165,- 000 bushols of oats, 27,000 bushels of rye, 103,000 bushels of barley; total, 9,820, 000 bushels of ail kinds of grain. This is a smaller showing than the corre- responding stock of grain a year ago by 11,780,000 bushels. The visible supply of grain in the United States and Can- ada is also smaller for the corresponding week of 1887, This shortage in the present supply of grain ought to insure a fair price to our farmers, as well as to the bulls on ‘change. ———— Tae Mill Creek, Mo., accident is the more deplorable since it cost the lives of two heroiv Rock Island brakemen, ‘When the bridge fell with the ill-fated Roek Island train upon it, the railroad men saved themselves from the wreck by jumping. Hardly had the roar of the falling cars and bridge ceased when the rumbling of the approaching Wa- bash train was heard coming at full speed toward the bridge. Though wounded by being dashed against rocks and trees in-their perilous leap for life, Brakeman Armstrong and Brakeman Royston, instinetively true to their duty, rushed outo the Wubash track al- most in frout of the engine to warn the engineer, But it was too late. The train went into the ravine with a t ble crash, The two brakemen r their lives to save the train, and both were carried down with the wreck Such heroism is unparalleled in his- tory, and is worthy of the highest en- coniums. Disgruntled Demoorats. There is want of harmony in the dem- ooratic campe of New York and Penn- sylvania. Some astonishment was caused to democrats generally, and no little concern created in administration oir- cles, by the failare of the New York democratic convention to endorse the tariff policy of the administration as re- flected in the Mills bill. Favorable ae- tion on this poliey by the democracy of the Empire state was expeoted by the party generally as being of the very highest importance. There depended on it several votes in the houso from that state in support of the tariff bill which were believed to be hos- tile to the me#ure, and which it is now pretty certain will be. Fur- thermore, it was most important that the democracy of Mr. Cleveland’s state shouid not decline to approve the only policy upon which the party will have any claim to consideration in the cam- paign. To do so was virtually to con- domn that policy, and thus put the New York wing of the party in antagonism to all the other wings. Such a state of affairs could not fail to complicate mat- ters at St. Louis, where the weight and influence of New York will be very great. Absolutely necessary to demo- cratic success, the will of the democracy of New York cannot be safely ignored at St. Louis. But despite the fact that a refusal to approve the tariff policy of the admin- istration, as reflected by the bill in the house, was certain to put the party in a dilemma, the demoecrats of New York did it. Moreover they elected men to represent them in the national con- vention who are pretty certain to do all they can to prevent approval there. It is not probable they will be successful, but they can “very greatly disturh the beautiful harmony that was expected to prevail. The factional difficulty in Pennsylvania is quite ‘as carnest, but it will not be felt in the national conven- tion, and is consequently less import- ant. The victory of the admin- istration over its democratic oppo- ments in the Keystone state was very decisive, but as that state is certain to give its electoral vote to the republican candidates it will matter little whether the result of a disaffection shall be to swell the republican majority one or twenty thousand. Tt is an incident merely of the situation that serves to show the breaches in the lines of the democratic army. It is of course a foregone .conclusion that the national convention will en- dorse the administration fully and un- qualifiedly. It would be worse than foolish to go into the campaign with Mr. Cleveland as a leader unless they did this, and Cleveland they must have. But is it equally certain that the thousands of democrats in New York whoare unfriendly to the tariff measure of the majority of the ways and means committee will rally to the support of the candidate whose policy is understood to be rapresented in that measure? Is it not quite proba- ble, as has happened before, that acon- siderable number of these democrats will subordinate the question of party suc- cess to what they regard as a principle of more vital importance, and withhold their support from the candidate of their party? Is there not quite as much reason why they should do this now as eight years ago?. Democratic: hope rests on New York. The party cannot be successful without that state, while the republicans can. Disaffection there is consequently a matter of most serious import to the democracy. There is evidence that it not only exists, but has a great deal of strength, and its future manifestations will be watched with interest. There may be reasons before another month has passed for trawsferring New York from the doubtful to the republican column. — Butchers and the Beef Trust. There does not seem to be the most friendly relations between the eastern butchers and the western dressed beef companies. At the meeting of the National Butchers Protective assoc tion a resolution was adopted, that the various states should pass laws prohibit- ing the sale of cattle for food which have not been killed subject to the in- spection of the municipal sanitary au- thorities within whose jurisdiction the meat is retailed. This is intended as a Dblofv against western beef packers who have practically made local beef killing east of Chicago unprofitable, The butchers take this stand on sanitary grounds.- But they have very little evi- dence to substantiate their charges that the beef slaughtered in the west and shipped east in refrigerator cars is not wholesome as a food product, For the past four or five ycars, western dressed beef companies have been gradually supplanting local beef in the eastern markets. In consequence butchers draw their supplies from the west and the business has been com- pletely revolutionized, Eastern butch- ers have all along endeavored to check the western dressed beef business. But all their efforts have been futile. It is doubtful whether this last move, will avail them in stopping the consumption of western dressed beef. The butchers, however, claim to have a grievance which, if it exists, they have a right to remedy. They allege that they are held under the thumb of the cattle pool of Chicago, which fixes the price of beef at such a figure as to give the retailer but a small margin of profits. The pool being in a condition to dictate the price of cattle on the ranges and the price of heef to the butcher, the Chicago beef trust gets the profit which rightly belongs to the cat- tlo grower and the butcher. Such an artificial and unfair distribution of the profits of the meat husiness is a wrong to the grower and the butcher, as well astothe consumer, and deserves the condemnation whigh the butchers’ as- sociation has pronounced upon it, Police Violence. Some time ugo a judge of a Philadel- phia court, in rendering an opinion re- lative to the duties and responsibilities of policemen; said that such: officers could not be 100 careful in avoiding all unnecessary violence 10 the persons of parties in their custody. The duty of a policeman, he said, is to preserve the THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1888, law, not to break it, and he should use extreme moasures against a prisoner in his charge only under circumstances of such a nature as to render such meas- ures clearly fustifinble. Until all ordi- nary means are found to be unavailing with a prisoner there should be no re- sort to extreme methods. The policemen of Omaha seem to require instruction of this sort. THE BrE has within the past few days re- corded acts of violence by policemen on citizens for which there appears to have been no sufficient justification. In one case n man was vigorously clubbed about the head aftor he had bocome helpless from being pounded, and but for the interference of bystandets the infuriated officer might have knocked all the life out of his victim. In the other case the violence of the officer was less sovere, but no less, as it appears, with- out warrant. This sort of thing must not be encouraged, as it will be if the police commissioners do not give it at- tention and instruet the force to exercise greater care in the egxercise of authority. There are of course many exasperating circum- stances in a policeman’s experiences. He has to deal chiefly with the lower and rougher class of community, which has little regard or gratitude for considerate treatment. o is not with- out the human weaknesses which mani- fest themselves under trying condi- tions. But a policeman should train himself to remember that he is merely a guardian of the peace, with no other right or authority than to imterposc for the preservation of peace and order in the community, and that in the exer- cise of this right and authority he must not himself do violence to the law. Even in the arrest of persons chargod with the most serious offenses against the law the policeman is not justified in going beyond what is necessary to se- cure the parties. Noman who cannot understand these restrictions on a police officer, and who is not competent, to control his impulses and temper under the most aggravating conditions, is fit to be a policeman. THAT the delegation of southern gen- tlemen from Augusta, Ga., who honored Omaha with their presence were pleased with our city is putting it mild. They were delighted. As they viewed our busy thoroughfares, our substantial business blocis, our varied industries, our beautiful residence streets, expres- sions of surprise and admiration came from their lips. Nor was the pleasure wholly on their side. It was with no little gratification that our citizens, who extended to them the courtesies of the city, pointed out the unmistakable signs of energy and progress. Omaha can well bear comparison with her sister cities, Kanzas City, St. Jo- seph and the other cities which these gentlemen visited. The impression made on them here was most favorable. As representative business men of a prosperous, pushing city of the south, they are in a position to judge of the relative merits of cities. It is therefore a matter of congratulation to us that Omaha stood so high in their estima- tion. The result of this visit is des- tined to develop into something more substantial than an exchange of friendly greetings. Omaha is interested and will be represented at the Augusta expo- sition. The commercial relations which already exist between the two cities will be the closer cemented. And not the least outcome of this visit may be the establishment in our midst of a large fertilizing establishment by Mr. J. Rice Sraith of the Georgia Chemical works. THERE appears to be a fatality con- nected with the business ventures of the sons of General Grant. The Ward con- nection, which bankrupted the family, is still fresh in public recollection. It had its great compensation in giving to the world the ‘‘memoirs’ of the great soldier. Only a few months ago U. S. Grant, jr., bought an interest in the “Cosmopolitan” magazine, published in New York, which was generally sup- posed to bo on a profitable basis. It is now reported that Grant invested one hundred thousand dollars of his mothe money, and that the company which was backing the magazine having fniled the publication, which was expensively carried on, will probably have to go, carrying with it all the Grant investment. If this shall - prove to be the case it will naturally suggest that Grant was drawn into the enter- prise to be bled, but it will still more strongly suggest that the sons of General Grant lack business discern- ment and ahlity, and to be on the safe side should keep their hands out of practical affairs, unless it bo as salaried employes. Ee——— OMAHA bears a charmed name and is the most popular city in Americs. ‘When the name of our city was brought before the republican national commit- tee as the place for holding the national convention, it was the second choice of the committee and came within a few votes of supplanting Chicago. The popularity of Omaha was again shown at the general conference of the Metho- dist church, when this city was the sccond choice next to their own cities of each one of the 111 members of the committee who had in charge the loca- tion of the conference in 1892, When, therefore, the balloting began, and the advantages of Omaha weve pointed out asa convention city, the vote of-the com- mittee was almost unanimous for Omaha. —— Other Lands Than Ours. Notwithstanding the fact that the govern- ment has asked for large appropriations for military and naval purposes, the war scare in England has not wholly abated, This is due mainly to the fact that new dofects are being discovered almost daily in the con- dition of the navy and in the defenses, which the money already asked for will go but a small way to remedy. There has been a stupendous smount of extravagance, and an equal degree of ineficiency, in the military and naval establishment of Great Hritain, and the disclosures are ¢ naturally somewhat startling to a people who Lave b resting in the coufidence of complete security. But the r of inyasion and conquest, w hich intelli- geut newspepers have contributed to, secms altogether absurd. The declaration attri- buted to General Wolseley that a hostile army of 100,000 men landed in England could, it 11 handled, overrun the country, seems to the average intelligent outsider to be wildly and dudiorously estravagant. The volunteers, militia and yeomanry of tho United Kingdom, together with the regular forces and the army reserves which are sta- tioned there, make a total of over 400,000 soldiers in Great Britain and Treland at all times, At least 250,000 of thess could be made available for service in England. Such a force as this, if properly directed, it 1s safo to say, could hold at bay 100,000 or 160,000 of the best soldiers cver gathered together. But how could 100,000 of a hostile force be brought to England? If it were a conti. nental country the task would not be difi- cult, but the fact that many milos of sea would have to be traversed before the objective point could be reached would render the feat both delicate and arduous to the last degree. To collect a suliciont num- ber of ships to transport such an army would be a work of weeks, if not of months. An army of 100,000 moen, with its quota of arms, horses and munitions of war, has never yet been transferred by water by any country at one time. But even if it were practicable to move such a big army at short notice, how could it make a landing? England has a stronger navy than any other two nations in the world combined, while its coastline is comparatively short. If the British navy, with all its preponderance in men and im- proved applinnces of war, be not adequate to defend this line against any hostile com- bination likely to be directed against it, then British manhood and British energy and skill have deteriorated since the days when Ahey wore last brought to @ tost in armed conflict with a formidable foe. " Political affairs in France seem to have settled down to a state of complete tranquil- ity. The Boulanger excitement has spent its force, and the “idol of the people” appears for the time being to have passed out of con- sidoration, or at least to have no more ac- corded him than is given to ordinary people who enjoy some prominence. He, 100, seems. to be behaving himself with becoming cir- cumspection. Meanwhile the business of ley ion is actively resumed and several measures of considerable importance are re- ceiving consideration. The decree issued by the German government regarding Frenchmen cntering Alsace-Lorraine is a source of some annoyance to the French, and the Paris newspapers have shown a disposition to stir up public feeling on the subject, but with no great success. The decree is obviously precautionary, and as such cannot reasonably be objected to, Past dificultics are the justification of such a measure, and it should be rightly regarded as intended to avert any danger which may exist by reason of the absence of such an ar- rangement. The decree provides that trav- clers entering Alsace-Lorraine from France must have a passport revised by the German ambassador at Paris, and foreigners neglect- ing this requirement will be prevented from continuing their journey, and very likely es- corted back across the frontier. The only persons exempt from these restrictions are Germans arriving fi'om France and mhabit- ants of frontier districts entering Alsace- Lorraine on business, and even they must satisfy the frongier police that they are what thoy profess to be. o When the great bankers of Berlin refused to lend to Russia the money she needed, the czar appealed to the bankers of Paris. Sut Berlin is now the greatest loan market of Kurope, and the adverse decision of & nota- ble group of German capitalists was a “‘bear argumeat” which had great weight in France. Months passed, and still the bank- ers of Paris were unwilling to risk their money. At last thé required sum was offered, but on terms that were humiliating. The lenders proposed conditions like those which might be exaeted from Peru, or some nation that had refused.to pay its just debts. These terms, at fiist scornfully rejected, have now been accepted, and Russia will ob- tain from the French syndicate an imme- diate advance of §75,000,000, with the promise of £145,000,000 more. The negotiation of this loan may disturb the peace of Europe. Until she procured a supply of foreign money Russia lacked the sinews of war. Witha full purse she can hasten those preparations for war which have been delayed. - e A few days ago, at Valparaiso, there was a great celebration of Chili's triumph over Peru. While the special reason for indulg- ing in rejoicings on that subject at the pres- ent time does not clearly appear, there can be no question that this enterprising republic may take just pride in the prowess of her arms. With Peru and Bolivia both against her, she succeeded in infhcting on the former one of the most complete disasters, both by land and sea, recorded in recent warfare. She annihilated the really strong navy of Peru, carried her victorious army into Lima itself, broke the Peruvian army into frag- ments, untilonly a few fugitive guerillas were left, and exacted a war indemnity, the cession of territory, and the control of the disputed nitrate and guano districts as con- ditions of peace. From the first she took the uggressive and won victory after victory. Chili has since shown good sense in cultivat- ing peace rather than keeping up the war spirit. She long ago amicably settled her Tatagonia dispute with the Argentine Repub- lic, and, with no neighbors whom she fears, ought now to be able to remain at peace for geucrations. Should the emporor of Brazil, who is be- lieved to be mortally ill at Milan, Italy, die, the empire will be governed by a woman,and a very remarkable woman, t00. The Princess Izabel has boen acting as regent in her futh cr's absence abroad, but she has not scrupled to take the initiative in very grave matters of state, without referring such matters to the Last month she dismissed the ca- L her father had left her, becauso dissatisfied with the slow progress of the work of slave emancipation, Should she come to the throne she will certainly not be an empress who ns without governing, Her husband, the Comte d'Eu,is a neu- tral in politics, but the princess only needs an opportunity to make her influence felt throughout the South, American cohtinent. She is forty-one vears of age, and it has been said of her that she combines the religious enthusiasm of her namesuke of Castilo with the energy of her ancestress, Maria Theresa, of Austria. She cerlainly knows her mind with all possible distin¢tness, and has a wa of having her will obeyed which 1s well un- derstood and rather admired by her subjects, ae The Chinese question in Australia is the speck no larger than a maw’s hand which may yet cover the whole political horizon. New South Wales has made a brave attempt 10 exclude Chinese. ‘Fhe law passed was not one of excessive severity, but one which would exclude. At this early day the battering rams of the coolie employers are brought to bear upon the law. A Sydney court-has pronounced against the legality of the action of the colonial government. The Chinese minister to London has shaken his fist at Lord Salisbury, and Salisbury responds with the assurauce that the home government will not give its support Lo any immigration laws passed by the colonies independently of the imperial parliament, and will es- pecially oppose any such laws directed particularly against the Chinese. The Chinese minister apparently shook his fist to some purpose. The reply of the En; lish foreign minister, Who is also prewmier, is all that the Chinese minister could have ked. It remalus to be scen what action New South Wales will take in the matter, It also remains Lo be scen whatl the other Euglish cotouies will thimk of the positivu in which um reply of Lord Salisbury has placed them, They have apparently to choose bétween submission to the imperial government fn a matter of the greatest fm- portance to the colonfes and paking an {ssue which may find its only solution in independ~ ence, If Chinese fmmigration into the Australian islands is permitted it will soon reach a magnitude that will threaten the political charncter of the colonies, China ean spare more people than there are on these islands and not know that they are absent.

Notas many cattle can be crowded into a palace stock car as In an ordinary one, and in consequencs the charging of actual ‘weight would crowd out of service common cars, as it would cost virtnally less to ship in an improved than in a common car. Oattlo shipped in improved cars do not lose as much weight in transportation, and roads using them would receive greater remuner- ation.

THEY UAVE AGRRED. The managers of the western and north- western roads, who have been in session in Chicago for some time, have adopted an agreement by which a board of control has been appointed who are empowered to prose- cute any road \Iolflflnil\n‘ provisions of an egreoment made by the meeting concerning rates. The matter can be taken either to the inter-state commerce commission or in the United States courts. VISITING OFFICIALS. Car 87 of the Pittsburg, Cincipnati & St. Louis, came in over the Union Pacific from Denver yesterday. Manager MoCrary, General Passen Ford, General Superintendent of Transpor- tation Wood and Mr. Norton, all of the Pennsylvania line.

They left for Chicago at 0:45 via Chicago, Burlington & Quiney, behind a scab engineer. SOMETHING STRANGE, In railroad circles it is ‘‘few die and none " But Clu'«'\f following this comes nnouncement that S. P. Jeffrics, re- appointed master of transportation on Joe & Council Bluffs has act esigned, and says he will take his old place as mndumm The Sioux City & Pnuflc will build a new depot at Sioux City. And the headquarters of the Fromont, Elk- horn & Missouri Valley road are not as yet in Omaha. General Manager Jeffries of the Illinols Central, is on & _trip through Iowa and has given it out that he will visit Omaha. This fact has caused the railroad man on the of- ficial B. & M. organ to_announce a new rail- road with Omaha as its western terminus. If all the roads he announces were built passengers to Chicago could choose from 349 different routes. - The rate to the Knights of Pythias con- (‘l;\\'c at Cincinnati is $10.70 for the round trip. In regard to Mr. Fisher of the Rock Island becoming general manager of the Union Pacific it must be borne in_mind that Thomas L.

Natural Born Mind Reader. A reporter had his attention called to a green pasteboard sign bearmg the above legend on a door on Howard street. The mind reader was not at home, so a personal description of her cannot be given. A col- ored individual who claimed to bave had his mina perused by this “natural born” won- der, informed the roporter that ‘‘she was jist'like any other woman, foah God, sah.” From this it must be presumed that *natural born’ mind readers are not unlike anyone else.
