The ladies of the south are still march- ing on, trying to keep up appearances. SENATOR MANDERSON is one of the committee of five to investigate the operations of the Chicago beef monopoly. This looks as if Nebraska’s interest in the meat industry will be fully pro- tected. KANsSAS Ci1y is to have a local signal sorvice station, and will no longer de- pend on Omuhn or Chicago for weather reports. Thisisanother ‘“boom” for the city on the Kaw which will be put down An its list of improvements. THE observance of Decoration day is a patriotic duty in which every American should take part. If it were possible all business should be sus- pended during the hours of the impres- s1ve ceremony s0 as not to mar the sol- emnity of the occasion. — e It may have been somewhat prema- ture in announcing Hon. G. W. Linin- ger’s project of building a first class family hotel, but for all that, the time hascome when Omaha needs such an institution. There is big money for the company which will build the first family hotel of the city. A NEW YORK World reporter tried to intorview Judge Gresham on the presidency. Butthe judge proved tobe an unsatisfactory witness. He told the newspaper man that whileon the bench he would leave politics alone. The judge is a wise and honest man. DENVER is anxious to purchase a franchise in the Western base ball as- sociation. She is aching to measure bats with Omaha, Des Moines, Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneapotis. Her local pride is at stake and she wants to keep abreast of her rivals in base ball as well as in business. GENERAL GRANT had the highest possible esteom of the soldierly quali- ties of Sheridan. He is said to have once spoken of him as greater than Cwmsar or Von Moltke, ‘‘He wuas great 1n the field, great at the council board. He could not only plan battles—he could take the fleld and win them.” Grant always showed the utmost confidence in Sheridan while they were operating to- gether in Virginia, and not once was he disappointed, His testimony to the military ability of Sheridan had the warrant of ample experience, and was perhaps not greatly exaggerated. THE action o( the cl,,,'h'. or ten mem- bers of the board of trade who rushed through the circular endorsing the Outhwaite bill for the extension of the indebtedness of the Union Pacific rail- road, was unwarranted, The circular purported to voice the sentiment of the board of trade and business community of Omaha, But this manifestly is not 80. The circular was adopted at a meet- ing when but thirwen mewbers were prosent, several of whom were decidedly opposed to it. It therofore looks like sharp practice wherve such an import- ant measure is railroaded through with- out athorough discussion of the merits of the Outhwaite bill beforea full session of the board, THE senate has taken final action on the bill passed by the house establishing a department of labor. The measure provides for the establishment of a de- partment of labor, whose duty 1t will be to diffuse among the people of the United States information upon subjects connected with iabor aund especially upon its relation with capi lu- quiries are to be made regarding the hours of labor, the earnings of the labor- ing olasses, and the means of promoting their matevial, socinl and moral pro perit; It would scem that this deps ment is to have no executive but is to be a relinble bure tion. It may advize aud sug ficial measures, but in no way force its recommendations, Theve no reason why this bill shall not become 8 law. Its statistios will be valuable and comprehensive in all guestions in- yolving thie labor problem. day, .y w where rest {iie e the sacred duty to the G i i tude and patriotism 1n=p|rn will ba ob- % | served. The occasion is hallowed by every sentiment that is honorable to a free people. It isa day of memories and of grateful reverence. The veterans who are still with us will revert to the hardships and privations of the camp and the march, the perils of the battle field, the sufferings from wounds and disense, and with these recollections of the dark side of a soldier’s life will in-, termingle the memory of many sweet and tender incidents that compensated for all that was suffered. I To-Day's Observance. Throughout the states of the north to- 1 avery city, town and hamlet dc'ondc\ra of the union, cad which grati- The loyal friendship of comrades, the kindly word and service in the hour of bitter distress, the helping hand when help was most needed, the unself- ishness that divided the scant ration, or the last chew of tobacco, or gave all of the little left in the canteen—these ex- periences will flow back upon the minds of the veterans to-day, and as they think and talk them over there will be glad- ness in their hearts even while the tears moisten their eyes. To those who can- not have these memories there is the privilege and the duty of grateful reverence to the dead and the living who bared their breasts to the battle’s storm and by their fidelity and cour- age preserved the union unbroken. Let us reflect to-day upon the great debt we owe these he- roes, and so doing we shall find our patriotism rising higher and stronger, our love of country and our devotion to its institutions growing broader and deeper. Memorial day makes its own special appeal to us, and it is worthy of our at- tention and interest. In its spirit and its duties it contributes to the develop- ment of all that is best in us as indivi- duals and citizens. Itsproper influence is to elevate and ennoble, and this ef- fect it must have upon all who appreci- ate its true characte: They Want Thurman. There appears to be vevy little reason to doubt that Mr. Cleveland and the po- litical managers for the administration want Judge Thurman, of Ohio, for the second place on the presidential ticket, It was reported some two weeks ago that they were bringing every possible pressure to bear on the judge to induce him to accept the nomination for the vice presidency, but at that time there seemed to be little probability that they would succeed. The latest advices, however, indicate pretty positively that he will be the man; although he de- mes having consented to the use his name. For several years Mr Thurman has firmly insisted that he was permanently out of politics as an aspirant for any office, his last as- surance of this kind having been given just before the last democratic state convention in Ohio, when he wasstrong- ly urged to be u candidate for governor. If he allows his name to go on the na- tional ticket 1t will be 1m 1 1\0n~t, to tha fiost urgent kind of solicitation, and from a conviction that it may be important to the party. Should the convention at St. Louis, obeying the behest of Mr. Cleveland, nominate Judge Thurman, no honor would be conferred upon that veteran leader, nor would the purpose be to honor him. He is wanted because Mr. Cleveland desires a stronger running mate than he would have 1n any of the western light weights that have thus far been named as possible candi- dates. Governor Gray a little while ago seemed a promising aspirant, but the screed of ex-Senator McDonald was a severe blow to him, and since that time an investigation of his political record has not been to his advantage. Illinois has too many aspirants to make it expedient to nominate either, besides which none of them possesses any great availability., Vilas will not have the full support of his own state, and will very likelynot be heard of in the conven- tion. But the vice-presidential candi- dx\tes must be taken [rom a state west of New York,and the Ohiostatesman would meet the requirements perfectly, both as to location and qualifications. His ability could not be questioned, his de- mocracy is of the straightest kind, and although his political record is by no means unassailable, since he was more or less prominently identified with many of the heresies peculiar to the democratic party—and particularly the Ohio branch of it—some years ago, it is far more respectable and creditable than that of most of the democratic leaders of to-day. Doubtless the administration man- agers have reason to congratulate them- selves if they have succeeded in induc- ing Judge 'l‘hunu.m to take the second He some quite et. character and it is to overestimate the strength he would give the ticket. Heis far advanced in age, and would not inspive any enthusiasm among the younger element of the party, how. ever potent his name might be with the He is furthermore not a man whom the spoil-secking |)0]i1|ciuns would take a very great interest in. It is questionable whether his nomination would make adifference of one thousand votes for the democracy in his own state, and if that is true as to Ohio theve is no reason to suppose that his power inother states would be so great as to materiully If elected, Mr. Thur- little service to reason that he any arduous service.

IT isunderstood that the committee of congress whioh investigated the Reading strike will propose some dras- legislation which both the railroads and their einploves may find unpalat- able. Among the propositions under consideration ave, first, an absoluto nro- vision for placing in the hands of a re- ceiver any railrond company which, as the resultof differences with its em- ployes, fails for a period of ten days to operate the road; second, arequirement that all train crews, but no other class of employos, shall give ten days’ notico of any intention to quite work; and third, that the railroad companies must give ten days’ notige to their employes of a reduction in wages. The committee expects that the propo- sitions relating to employes will excite considerable opposition, but takes the ground that it is the only possible method of affording the public the pro- tection to which it isentitled against the interruption of regular trafic. The committee has had time enough since the investigation to have formulated a practical and judicious plan, that would operate equitably to all interests and protect the public, but it appears not to have done so. It is something to know, however, that the subject has not been abandoned, and that there’sa proba- bility of its receiving some considera- tion, even if it shall not be acted on, at the present session. It has been clearly shown that there is necessity for legis- lation that will prevent such conflicts between railroads and their employes as may bring the domestic commerce of the country to a standstill, and it ought not to be necessary to wait for any further experience before providing such legislation. Tt will not be a diffi- cult matter to do this if just considera- tion is given to the supreme inte: the public. TIn defining the re hetween the railroads and their cm- ployes neither should have any advant- age, but both must be subordinate to the necessities of commerce and the general welfare. TrEone or two states which have passed laws reforming the methods of election have been eminently successful in counteracting election frauds. Their example is about to be followed in Mas- sachusetts and New York. If Governor Hill signs the Saxton ballot reform bill, recently passed by the New York legis- lature, that state will reyolutionize its present loose methods of state, county and municipal elections, The new bal- 1ot bill takes away from private pnlm« al organizations the work of printing and distributing ballots. That work after January 1, 1889, will be done at the pub- lic expense, and the printing of ballots will be paid by the county. The bill regulates the nomination of candi- dates for public office, also the methods to be followed by the voter in cnsting his ballot. The ballots are to be provified by the county clerks, and the various officers of election are to be puitl officials of the county, The object of this comprehensive ballot law is to remove the sources of corruption in the present system of elections by doing away with political assessments of par- and by making impossible the in- timidation of voters and the stuffing of the ballot box. It is merely a question of time when every state in the union will purify its election methods with a ballot reform law IT1s onlya mere question of time when the Rock Island railroad must build directly into Omaha in order to got its share of busin To-day the Rock Island is the only road of the Chi- cago lines that has no foothold hev S0 long as the Union Pacific turned its freight over to the Chicago & T Island, there was no pressing necessity of a terminal connection at Omaha. But the recent deal between the Union Pacific and the Burlington leaves the Rock Island in a tight place where it can only secure the leavings. The Rock Island folks have awakened to the fact that they have dallied too long in neglecting to come into Ne- braska. The overtures of that vailrond company to the people of Fairbury and other cities are the first steps of a plan to build feeders through the state. It would not be surprising to see the Rock Island extend its main line over to Omaha this vear, and from here to radiate to the southwest and to the northwest, tapping the rich avgri- cultural districts of Nebraska. Tue degradation to which mu government has sunk in American cities best shown by the testimony of William Fullgraff, who turned state’s evidence in the recent famous boodler trials of the New York City aldermen, When Fullgraff wus an alderman **bus- iness” was synonymous with “plunder,” In the board of which Fuligraflf was a member in 1881 no franchise could pas the thirteen aldermen who formed a “combine” without paying tribute. “We always worked together and taxed everything that came up,” he testified, “and we always sized up a man and made him pay in proportion to the importance of the favor asked of us.’ There arve aldermen outside of N York City who no doubt could be equally as frank and entertaining as this “franchise peddler” if they would turn state’s evidence. is President Adams, of Cornell uniy and President Hyde, of Bowdoin colleg to be the only two college presidents who play tennis. agan, of has bo house in Washington.

Immediately aftor the call of court Judge Wakeley began reading his decision in the caso referred to above. The history of it is briefly as follows: In 1348 Franklin Robinson resident of Mis- souri, was honorably discharged from sor- vice in the Mexican war when about eighteen yearsold. A land warrant for 160 acres of government preemption land was finally issued to him on account of that service. In 1340 Robinson left for California and was not heard from until about three years ago when this suit was begun, Prior to his de- parture he entrusted the warrant, if it should issue, to his aunt, Mrs, Reeves. The war- rant {ssued and in 1853 the defendant, A. D. Jones, obtained the warrant and _pre- empted the land now owned by the Union Pacific _railway company in Council Bluffs where the transfer dopot is locatod. In 1854 one-half of the land was sold by Jones to one b‘lnmuuf for $1,000 and the other half to Sidney Dillon for $24,000. Jones claims that he was vested by Robin- son with the power of attornoy to pre-empt the land, sell the same, and invest the pro- ccods, Robinson claims that there was & verbal agreement betwoen him and Jonos about the procuring of the warrant and the procuriug of the laud,and that he did not give the warrant to Mrs. Roeves, only as a trust, These are the general facts of the transac- tion. The court held that the trust in the case does not spring from any agreement bo- tween Robinson and Jones, but resuits from the fact that the money of one person was invested in the name of another. That the trust does exist, and that the defendent only held the original property in trust, and that he had no right to the land only as he held it in trust for Robinson, and that the defense in the case is not sustained upon either authority or reason. The decision was concurred in by Judgo Groff. The money realized by the sale of the land was invested in Omaha and the property bought with 1t has so increased in value that it is worth several hundred thous- and dollars. The court left the case onen to further ar- gument as to what disposition should be made of the Omaha property purchased by Jones with the money realized from the sale of the government land and what share of the proceeds of these purchases shoul go to Rob- inson. . The decision was of great length and dwelt very fully on all the features of the case, especially the points made by the de- fense on account of Robinson’s long absence and the bearing of the statute of limitation in such cases, The case will probably be ap- pealed to the supreme court. RYAN IN COURT. Frank R. Ryan, who is under indictment, for the murder of Hellen Howard in Doty & Darst’s saloon on Douglas strect, Friday night, March 2, 1888, was brought into court in the morning for trial. He was dressed in a black Prince Albert coat, buttoned closely lish linen collar that was en- light-colored cravat, in which was a rich looking cameo pin. His face was cleanly shaven, his moustache carefully combod and curled at the ends. His hair was trimmed to perfection, and a delicate sot of short side burn whiskers that were visible, are probably the product_of about two weeks' care and attention, He was greeted by a few friends, and then took his seat at a table on which lay the Tlslol that discharged the bullet that caused his presence there. He picked up a pen and be- gan, leisurely, to do some writing. There was a large number of persons pre- sent in court, both to see the criminal and hear the first testimony in the case. ~Among this company wero a few ladies. His attor- neys asked that the case be continued until Thursday, owing to the fact that to-day is Memorial day and there will be no_court. h;cucst was not fmmcd They then in- troduced a number of afidavits to the effect that vosephine Haskins was an ecye-witness to the murder, and asked the court to have the state endorse her name on the informa- tion. An order to this effect was made, SELECTING A JURY.
