Both ought to be sup- pressed. THE schooner Edward Blake, which ‘carried off McGarigle, has made her first return trip to Chicago since that eveontful day. But she didn’t bring back the Cook county boodlor. ONE of the questions that the next re- publican convention must grapple with is whether the Union Pacific orany other railroad operated in this state is above all state control and greater than the state itsell. Now that the snap judgment call for the republican primaries has been re- voked and the time for the convention extended to August 11, there will be ample time for all republicans to famil- iarize themseves with the issues and candidates. —_— KEEP it before the people that the bone of contention in the next republi- can state convention will be over the nomination of the treasuver, auditor and attorney general. The railroads are determined to capture two of these offices at all hazards. ——— THE enthusiastic republicans of the eity are making great preparations for the campaign. In no other presidential year were there so many clubs formed. ‘When parading time comes, the flare of the flambeau axd the roll of the drum will arouse the democrats from their graves. —— Boss BosTwick, of Hastings, who helped the oil room gang to engineer the state board of transportation bill through the last legislature, is awfully disgusted with the conduct of the board and calls a halt to the reduction of freight rates. This is in perfect accord with the eternal fitness of things. ‘WHEN a poor taxpayer’s purse is un- ®ble to keep pace with the rapid strides in public improvements, the city officials swoop down on him and threaten to foreclose on his little property. But when a paving firm wviolates every clause of its contract with the city, the council most gingerly deals with the defaulting company to the injury of the city and to the injustice of the tax- payers. ——— THe last legislature employed over one hundred and fifty clerks to wait wpon its members under pretext that they were nceded for committee work. This extravagance added to the regular pay of members piled up the cost of the gession to over two hundred thousand @ollars. In the face of this record of tax‘eating several of the worst and most profligatée members of the last legisla- ture are candidates for state office, nad amnjority of the déTanct body want to ‘be sent back to the legislature. THE admisslon of Washington Terri- tory to statehood was vigorously advo- cated in the house on Saturday by Del- egate Voorhees, who said the matter should be considered regardless of po- litical considarations. Mr. Voorhees Wwas assured that the republicans would unanimously support the admission of the territory, so thut to earry the prop- ssition he would only have to secure fen democratic votes. Hardly any renter difficulty could have been pre- pented to him. It Washington Terri- tory were alone asking admission to the union her chances would be very good, as she could probably be depended upon %0 inorvase the column of demo- cratic states, but even were the democracy in control of both ‘branches of congress they would ‘hurdly dlare admit Washingten in advance of Pakota, and in present circumstances of ecourse such a proposition will not re- téive & moment’s serious attention, It is no!, very likely that any decisive nc- Yion will be taken regarding these terri- torics at the prasent session, but when- ever there is thoy will doubtless come iato the union together. Washington Tareitory is making rapid imaterinl progress and is claimed to have a popu- Jation of two hundred thousand. The mnxiety of her people for statehood is uite as strong as that of the people of . and they are rather more har- -muonious thau the latter, | The Pinkerton Janissaries. General Palmer, the democratic can- didate for governor of [1linois, is waging a vigorous warfare against the Pinker- ton police, He justly regards this or- ganized army of mercenaries, controlled by a private individual, as a stigma on the state, and he demands that it shall be suppressed. In a recent speech, General Palmer said of this army: “It hus its armory; it sends its men out everywhere when they are called for; they are responsible to nobody; they report to nobody; they are enshrouded in mystery, Whenever there is oceasion for an armed force they spring into life, ready to fight the battles of those who hire them. Their names are enrolled no- where ‘that I know of. They are answerable to nobody that I know of* The law doesn’t know them, the governor doesn’t know them, the sherif doesn’t know them.” General Palmer does not talk recklessly and without knowledge of this matter. He knows from experience and accurate information what this organization is, its character and purpose. He has learned from experience that it has be- come a most dangerous power in Illinois, menacing the rights and liberties of the people, and that it has been used of- fectively in other states to overawe the people. As an American citizen he urges that this most unamerican system of maintaining a private organization of armed men, ready at all times to v whoover will hire them to oper against the people, must be put down, and in this he will have the approval of all men who are concerned for the pres- ervation of popular liberty in this re- public. There is no question of politics in- volved. It is nota party issue whether this irresponsible private organization, of which the law takes no cognizance, shall be permitted to continue and in- crease its dangerous power. No party will dare to attempt a defense of it. The matter is one that appeals with equal force to the men of all parties who have the intelligence to understand the true character of this organ- ization and to discern the danger, and perhaps the inevit- able donsequences, of allowing it to go on gathering strength and to become so firmly rooted as an instrumentality for use against the people that in time it shall grow to be a vast machine of abuse and oppression, covering the whole land with its armed hirelings, and to be overthrown at last only with the great- est, dificulty. No citizen who will seriously reflect upon the fact that only in this free country does there exist such an organization as the Pinkerton detectives—a band of armed men re- cruited from all classes, and operating to a large extent independently of all con- stituted authority—will need any argu- ment to be convinced that its existence here is a wrong and a danger that should be removed with the least possible delay. In the very nature of thirfgs such an organiza- tion is the foe of the people, an instru- mentality available only to the few for overawing and oppressing the many. This is the service in which it has been employed, and will continue to be so long as it is tolerated. In bringing this matter prominently to the attention of the people of Illinois General Palmer is to be commended re- gardless of the fact that he is the demo- cratic candidate for governor. He will be defeated, but his agitation of this subject ought not to be without beneficial results, and it will not be if the people of Tllinois can be impressed by obvious truths and the lessons of an already un- fortunate experience. —_— Democratic Rule and the Negro. The colored voter is commanding the attention usually bestowed on him in a presidential campaign. Once in four years at least he is certain to be recog- nized as an important political factor, and as often as this he is found pressing forward with a demand for recognition. He has mude himself heard early in the present campaign through a convention held last week at Indianapolis. The ef- fect of the convention is, however, not likely to be far reaching in view of the manifest intent to play 1nto the hands of the democracy. It is to be expected that the col- ored voter will be heard from again during the canvass under different auspices, and there is the best of reason why he should be. It would be an injustice to the race to permit the cut-and-dried affair at Indianapolis to stand unchallenged. The self-scek- ing leaders of that movement, some of whom are now enjoying the reward of recreancy to the republican party, must not be permitted to misrepresent the true sentiment and feeling of the col- ored voters of the country. There is need of a very explicit and vigorous protest against the effort of the Taylors and Trotters to make it appear that the colored men ave forgetting their obliga- tions to the party that gave them freedom and citizenship, and that any large number of them is disposed to enter into affiliation with the party which sought to hold them in slavery, and in at least a dozen states still deuies them the fuall enjoyirent of the rights of citizenship. It is im- portant that those who ecast this asper- sion on the colored men of America shall be properly pilloried before the world for just what they are, and their false pretenses as leaders and represen- tatives of the colored voters of the country be fully exposed. 1t is to be expected that in due time this will be done, and with such thoroughness as to quite obliterate whatever influence may moeanwhile be exerted by the Indianap- olis gathering. But it is to be observed that it s only the eolored voter of the nmorth who is enabled to thus nssert hinmself, His brother of the south has no such privelege. In the section that is solidly democratic the colored voter does not know himself as a factor, or if he possess the knowledge that ho has the right to be, he does not betray it by word or act. There isa penalty, severe aud summary, for the colored voter in Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and other states of the south, who believes he is a political factor and nsists upon being re ized as such. Yet the, Atlanta (on, m has the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. JULY 30 1888 assurance to say this: ‘‘To-day there is not a negro in Georgia who is not bet- ter off under the present democratic state administration than he would be under a republican administration.” It-is doubtloss true that in a general way the colored citizens of Georgia re- ceive somewhat better treatment than is accorded such citizens in most of the other states of the South, and perhaps Governor Gordon is entitled to some credit for this fact. He is not the most illiberal and unprogressive man in the South. But it remains true that the colored voters of Georgia, in common with those of the other Southern states, are not permitted under democratic rule to enjoy fully and freely their political rights. It is simply absurd to affirm that the negro is better off under democratic rule, which deprives him of the most importunt and sacred privilege of citi- zenship, than he would be under a dif- ferent rule that would allow him the free excrcise of ull the rights of a citi- zen. There is nothing so strangely anoma- lous in American politics as to find col- ored men declaring in favor of demo- cratic rule, in view of the indisputable fact that wherever such rule is complete the colored man is a political nonentaty. As yet this class comprise a very small minority of the colored voters of the country, and we think are not at present dangerous. STATE JOTTINGS.

August Forum, Slavery never was the actual cause of dissension betwean the north and south, though it was always resorted to asan available pretext. In the opening chap- ter of ‘‘Destruction and Reconstruc- tion,” by Richard Taylor, lieutenant- general in the confederated army, the author says that “‘the Missouri compro- mise of 1820 was in reality a truce be- tween antagonistic revenue systems, each seeking to gain the balance of power,” and that ‘‘the nullification movement in South Carolina was en- tirely directed against the tariff.” In the course of a letter to a northern friend, which was published, this same General Taylor said: “Wo made two great mistakes, Had we avorded them we should have conquered you.

Mrs. Whitney and the cabinet ladies are still getting their dresses made with a small bustle attached under the folds of the lining. “Now I will tefi’ you a little feminine secret—a lady pays far more attention and worries more about the fit and hang of her dress behind than she do in front. She is also more particular about the snug fitof her waist in the back than she is in front.

They Register Under Assumed Names But Their Identity 1s Estab- lished Beyond the Shadow of a Doubt. 1020 P STRTURT, LJNCOLN. Juiy 20, Written upon the mday page' of the Capital hotel register is tho scrawl- ing autograph, “Mrs. Vanleaf and sis- ter, Columbus, O.," and just undernoath the names of these fair ladies that of “Charles O. Elliott, St. Louis.” But there is nothing very startling in this simple statement of fact. This is an ngo of conseless activity and change. The great world of humanity comes and goes, And yot those names furnish proof that deception is so succossfully practiced that the trained eye of sus- picious man cannot penetrate or unmaslk. The Moore-Norton escapade has not yet escaped the public mind, Their flight from St. Louis and the sub- sequent arrest of Mrs. Norton at Topeka, Kan., with all the sensational incidents connected with this elopement, her ar- rest for the alloged stealing of her husband’s money and rele custody on a writ of habeas corpus, are not matters that a reading public would oasily forget. These little incidents of human loves and unfortunate domestic encounters are turnod over at breakfast table talks, from the pulpit by the mor- alizing minister, and in the columns of the press, until they became a part and parcel of the topics of the times, such as Colonel Walt Mason loves to ron his pen into for an after-nap para- graph.

And yet there is nothing wierd or particu- arly romantic about this story, The chief parties to the unfortunate St. Louis domestic episode and scandal sought a quiet Sunday in the city of Lincoln, and to insure it hid under ns- sumed names in a measure successfully.

The musicians of Dockstader’s minstrels will furnish the music. Jules Lumbard will be present. This means that the pleasures of the evening will be enlivened with some of his choicest songs. A number of been ued and the attendance will doubtless be large. A delegation of Omaha Elks have accepted invitations and will be present to assist in getting gway with the four bushels of sand- wiches that have been ordered for the oceasion. The Modern,Woodmen of this city are negotiating for a hall that they can 'fit and furnish in the most approved style, and thus have a more permanent and desirable lodge home. }\‘o‘ 190 is the second lodge of the order in numbers, The fall camp meeting of the order will be held some time during the month of November. This is an event always anticipated and enjoyed by the membership of the fraternity. The G. A. R. boys of the Capital city will attend the reunion at Norfolk in a body. Reduced rates have been secured over all the railroads. The national en- campment especially invites the atten- tion of the old Ohio boys in blue. It will be held at Columbus, O., commenc- ing on the 13th of September, and con- tinues one week. Quite a large delega- tion will attend from this place. There are five flourishing lodges of the A, O. U. W. in this city. The Ger- man lodge meets Thursday evenings; Upchurch lodge on the second fourth Friday evenings; Lincoln lodge on the first and third Friday evenings; Logan legion on Tuésday evening However, the last named 10dge has de- cided to postpone their regular meet- ings for two months, and will only m; in the meantime for special drill. Ne- braska has had but one assessment dur- ing the past month. LINCOLN'S SUNDAY GUESTS. At the Capital—J. J. Jensen, Geneva; W. T. Gamis, St. Joe; W. J. Raynor, Hardy; M. W: Osborn, St. Joe; John L.

Red predomi- nated in everything but handkerchiofs and che The ser s of the day and the early part of the evening were uneventful, ut as it had been announced that twe soldiers were to be married during tho cvening exasreises, a large crowd gath- ered about the door before 8 o’clock. At the time the procession arrived at the barracks and filed in, running t gauntlet of the band us it soparated and stood in double file, reaching from the sidewalk to the door. “Plenty of room for us! Glory to God ! shouted the brothers and sisters in a uniform chorus, as they filed up the aisles. The jam continued, seats were brought in, and yet more people came in and clamored f oom. Brigadicr Fielding arose at this junc- ture and ‘‘Can’t we make eyerybody comforts Sit closer on the platform, even though you do some more squeezing, and make room here for our brothers and sistors, so the people in the back of the hall can be seated.” QThis stage offf the proceedings was marked by more music, 1n which the words were something about *‘the lily ot the valley,” and the air was a combina- tion of he Babies on Our Bloek™ with a chorus of other sounds and jangles. “I’'m glad 'm married. 1'm clinging to the cross,” shouted the brigadier again. “I'm glad I'm married,” he re« iterated, ‘‘and am here to see Adjutant Robinson married, too.” Then came Rev. Mr. Hayes, who read aseries of resolutions to which Adjutant Frank Robinson and Captain Annig Joice w to vow fealty. These resolus tions consisted of promises to be true to the Salvation Army at all hazards and to the marriage covenant. If one fell out of the ranks by reason of sickness or other cause of disability the other should continue the work of serving tha Lord. Rev. Mr, Hayes concluded with the quotation: “*Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” “Up with the Army Flag and I'ly Away to Glory” was then fung by the hallelujah lads and lassies. At the close of the ceremony tha groom leaped to the front, shouting, *'1 ain't a bit sorry! I'm clinging to the cross,” which was the cue for music, the bridegroom walking up and down way- ing o white handkerchief during the cinging. Tain’va bit sor he continued, “If any of you are sorry, now is your time to say 'it.” [Laughter.] “I'm cling: ing to the cross.” Then all joined in, the air being something like ‘that sung by Ralph Rackstraw, Dick Deadeye and the crew, when they joined in Sir Joseph’s song, after telling him that they could “‘hum a little.” “I ain’t a bit sorry,” continued the bridegroom. “Perhaps some of you think you could do better, but I think T in luck when I made Captain Annie © Mrs. I'rank Robinson, Hallelujah! ver expeeted to be married in the ation army to a hallelujah lass, 1t you'd seen me three yearsago, with only an old rum hottle for a companion, you would congratulate me now, 1 am sure, This precious wife of mine has overlooked my past, and now both of us are clinging to the cross.” **We will now hear from Mrs. Robin- son,” said the brigadier a'ter another song. “T'm glad I'm marvied,” sho began. “Hallelujah!” More music followed this declaration, and then it was announced that the night would be consumed in prayer, — - A Protty Little Aéronaut. New York Special to the Chicago Times: The balloon Carlotta, charged with 6,000 feet of hydrogen gas, manu- factured in a portable generator, rose rracefully at 5 p. m. to-day from Wash- ngton park ball grounds, Brooklyn, in the presence of several thousand per- sons. A shapely little woman wearing a theatrical costume of blue and gold, and high French kid shoes, was in the wire-frame car attached, Her gloved hands gripped the hammock netting by which the car was suspended, and sho stood on a light board platform about the size of a barrel head, calm and smiling, Sheis the wife of Prof. Carl Myers of New York, the supple little min with Dundreary whiskers, who su- perinfended the pre-ascension arrange- ments, and she was going up on her 2024 aerial voyage a8 unconcerned as if she were bound for a summer resort. Her bdggage eonsisted of a thick ulster wrap, some acronautic instruments, and mags of Brooklyn,New York, Staten island, und New Jersey. Iu half a minuté the Carlotia was over the high fence and ballast was being dumped to make sure of clearing the telegraph wires, When one minute had ¢lapsed the balloon had reached a northérn current and four minutes later was drifting westerly. The daring oc- cupant waved her right hand to the spectators and was soon beyond recog- nition, When at an altitude estimated at half & mile and several miles away the balloon appeared stationary, but Prof. Myers said It was moving as swiftly a8 a current of air toward New Jersey, In tiwenty minutes it was out of sight, passing north of the Brooklyn bridge. It was hm-x it that the descen- sion would be made during the night,
