P. FEIL, Notar e ————————————— MR, CLEVELAND'S letter of accept- ance is expected in the course of the present week, Its tone and temper will depend upon the luck he has fishing. — ThE steip of country known as “No Man’s Land,” to which Kansas lays claim, will soon be known as “Dead Man's Land,” if a few more county sheriffs got killed there. i t “The path of civil ser veform has not at all times been pleasant nov easy.” That is only half the truth. It has been a stony path grown with eactus and thistles through which M. Cleveland has been forced to run barefoot by his hungry party. THE republicans of the Sixth congres- sional district of Tennessee, the old home of Juckson, have nominated W. H. Young, a negro luwyer, of Nashville, for congress. This marks a new era in the politics of middle Tennessee, as it is the first time that a negro has been thus honored in that district by the re- publican party. — Tne senate Pacific railroad com- mittee has agreed unanimously to rec- ommend the Outhwaite bill to legalize the Credit Mobilier construction bonds and extend the time for their payment gixty yeurs. This was to have been oy pected. The senate committee on Pa- cific railvoads was built that way. Tne method of book-keeping in the various county offices can be materially improved. There has been a geners laxness with regard to records and re- turns of fees, and some of the officers have neglected to collect their official fees. The trouble is that we have had no system of hook-keeping with proper checks and balances. This can only b had when we get a coanty I imo - N the meantimo e oty commissioners should 3100 i : e 2 Wect each of the county officers noW to keep his accounts, when to re- port and when to make settlement. are A witor, T idea of presenting the spectacu- Tar display of thoe “Siege of Sevastopol” at Omaha during fair week isa good one. If properly presented and exten- sivoly advertised the proposed s ular display will aid mate drawing thousands of strange eity. The citiesof the ea cently adopted these spec! for the purpose of publicentertainment, and they have proved haghly entertain- ing and successful. Cincinnati adds to its exposition attractions the **Fall of » Babylon,” while Coney Island at New ~ York delights thousands every night Cwith the “Burning of Rome under Nero.” in Tur impression generally prevails among old settlers of this county that the George Smith mentioned as a con- * didate for congress is the ex-county surveyor familiarly known as Doe, Smith. This is a delusion and a snave. Unlike John M. Thurston, Doc Smith is out of politics, The other Smith was a surveyor years ago but the title was po- litical. The average surveyor general never has anyching to survey except the vouchers of survey contractors. ‘We have said this much in order to set the two George Smith’s right before the people of this community. KaxnsAs Crry complains that Omaha has advantages over her in the matter of rates to some points east and south, which are nearer Kansas City than to Omaha. This may be a just complaint for all we know, and it is for the railroad managers to consider the propriety of adjusting it. But we should like to kuow why Omaha is dis- eriminated against in the matter of rates into Wyoming and Utah, The distance from Kansas City to Cheyenne . 48 one hundred and eleven * miles greater than it is from . Omaha to Cheyenne, but the rates charged by the Union Pacific from Kuusas City to Cheyenne are the sane as the rate from Omaha. This palpable diserimination in favor of " Kansas City has placed Omaha jobbers at a Adisadvantage in a terri- tory that is naturally tributary to this city by reason of being less distant. ~ Many reason exists why the rates from a8 City to Cheyenne should be no her than from Omaha we should like ve it presented. It seems to us ¢ that here is a grievance for which k. Jobbers and shippers should de- A Chance to Blunder. The solicitude that is being mani- fested regarding immigration may very easily lead to blundering legislation on the subject. The matter offers an in- viting opportunity to the demagogue, and there is danger that thoughtful and ious men may not be sufficiently ant and careful to prevent the demagogues from carrying their points. There is a great deal of cowardice at times like the present, on the part of men who can have no plausible excuse for being cownrds. It is undoubtedly true that there are abuses which must be corrected. The investigation of the Ford committee has already shown this, The fault is in the failure to properly enforce ex- isting laws, which are believed to be ample if vigidly enforced to secure im- munity against the entrance of the ob- jectionable clusses designated in the laws. It would have been impossible for Italian padrones and contractors to have brought twenty thousand or move indigent Ttalian labor into the count in the short period of six months, if those charged with exe- cuting the laws againsy the importa- tion of this class of labor had fully ver- formed their duty. Perhaps the mo chinery, for which congress is responsi- ble, is deficicnt. But in any event it is beyond question thut thers would now be no such nec sity us exists for investigating immigra- tion, and this subject would not occupy the prominence in public attention it does, if the immigration laws we have had been enforced as it was int®nded they should be. It is now proposed to amend, so as to make it stronger, the law prohibiting the importation of foreign labor under contract. As the law stands its lan- gungo is general. The proposed amend- ment spes the classes to be ex- cluded, and among them are artists. Webster suys “an artist is one who is skilled in some one of the fine arts,” and another authority quoted by the lexicographer says “the term is par- ticularly applied to painters, sculp- ., musicians, engravers and ar- If the proposed amend- ment should be adopted an American citizen who might desire his portrait puinted by some eminent foreign painter, or wished to perpetuate his memory in marble carved by the mas- ter hand of a Buropedn sculptor, must £o abroad to have the work performed, submit to have it done in an way at home, or forego the desive. could not bring painter or sculptor to this country, because, being an artist, the law would exclude him. A’ Meis: sonier or Bartholdi would hardly inter- fere with any American painter or sculptor, but neither of them would be allowed to land on Amevican soil if handicapped by a contract to do a piece of work in their respective arts. Is therc not a very palpable suggestion of absurdity in a proposition that carries such a possibility with it? If the term st is used the law should specify what classes of workers it is intended to embrace. Otherwise it may sometims be given an application that will sub- ject the country to world-wide ridicule. There will be general approval of the joint resolution introduced in the house requiring the consuls and diplomatic representatives of the government to furnish information relative to emigra- tion from foreign countries to the United States, and specifying the sort of in- formation to be supplied, particular reference being had to ascerwining the proportion of criminals, paupers and assisted emigrants. A propar = H % . agilence d efficie + g Tar representatives abroad would prevent a great deal of objectionable immigration and render far less difticult the task of the home authorities in keeping out the proscribed classes. There is a tendency to give too much latitude to selfishness and prejudice in the consideration of this subject, and if these are permitted to control, unfortu- nate blunders will be inevitable. It is a purely practical matter, which can be easily and effectually regulatad if intel- ligently treated in a broad spivit of jus- tice, reasonable generosity and sound policy. o5 False Pretenses. Manufacturers who are clos mills and factovies or vestricting pro- duction give us the reason for doing so the effect upon trade of the tarift agi- tation. They say that the promise of a revision of the tariff, with a lower range of prices for manufactured goods to result, if the promise is fulfilled, leads buyers to hold off, and that conse- quently manufacturers would not be justified in continuing operations and piling up stocks that u short time hence might have to be sold, if at all,at aloss. The shut down of the Norfolk and New Brunswick Hosiery company, own- ing the most extensive mills in the country and employing eight hun- dved people, is explained in this way: “Customers will not buy,” said the presidont of that company, *‘with a prospect of lower prices in the near future, and rather than go ahead and manufacture a large stock of goods for which there may prove to be no de- mand, the directors thought it prefer- able to shut down for a time until the situation clears,” Other manufacturers give reasons in the same line. These are largely false pretenses. Every man among these munufacturers knows perfectly well that there will not be any tariff legislation this year., He knows that there is absolutely no chance of prices of manufactured goods being affected from this cause for at least a year to come. The senate may pass a taviff bill of its own at the present session, and if so, progress regarding tariff legislavion will halt there. The matter will go to a conference committee of the two houses, and nothing further would be done until the next session, If then any measure should be agreed upon and passed it would undoubtedly not take effect earlier than the first of next July, The talk, therefore, about lower pricesin thie near future, as a consequence of changes in the existing tariff, has no warrant in the present situation. There is obviously some. other motive ‘behind the action " of these manufacturers which they are not disposed w admit, . but ng their which intelligent psople will not have great dificulty in divining. But it is well ta have it understood that these well-informed manufacturers are not at all concerned about any immediate sults from the tariff agitation. They know they are entively safe from any legislution on this subject’at least for nearly a full twelve-month. And, per- haps before that time, they will have been able to still further put off the danger they profess to fear. ————— e The Obstinate Sioux, The disposition of the Sioux toward the proposed treaty opening their res- ion to settlement does not appear toimprove. The chiefs who have been conspicuous in opposing the treaty are reported to be as obstinate as ever, and the commissioners seem to have made no impression upon their followers. The situation has suggested the question whether the time has not come when the government should abandon the policy of proposing treaties with In- dians and make its legislation relating to these wards of the nation with refer- e to the general welfare. It is not questionable that ultimately this will have to be done, and if the Sioux treaty fails the effect will un- doubtedly be to hasten a change of policy. This treaty is en- tire ir to the Indians and could not prove otherwise than beneficial to them. [t proposes that the governmont shall take one-half of the Sioux reservation in Dakota, about cleven million acres, open it to settlement, and set aside the proceeds of the sale of the land to set- tlers as an annuity fund for the support of the tribe hereafter., The remainder of the reservation is to be allotted to the Indis in severalty., A million dollars is to be advanced to purchuase farm implements and stock for the farms allotted to the Indian families. In all respects the provisions of the treaty are just and generous to the Iudians, and if they cannot understand this, or obstinately refuse to relinquish a great domain of available land, which is of no present benetit to them, chiefly for the reason t the, prefer to live idle, vagabond lives whil derviving their entire support from the governinent, then it will become ne sary to take a different course with them. 1t is preposterous to supposoe that this splendid veservation can be permitted to continue as at present, noy only practically valueless, but a b in the way of the progress of the ter tory of which it is a part. The blind selfishness and stupid obstinacy of thirt, thousand Indians will not long bo per- mitted to obstruct the advance aud thwart the reasonable demands of sixty millions of white people. THERE is a great deal to be said on both sides of the irvigation question, but the weight of testimony is in favor of an effort on the part of the govern- ment to reclaim the vast amount or arid land which scientific opinion is agreed can be rendered available for cultiva- tion by a proper and adeguate system of irrigation. The undertaking certainly looks formidable, and undoubtedly sue- cess would be achieved only after the expenditure of many millions of dollars, but when achieved there is vreason to believe the vesults would many timell vepay the - cost. There are millions of acres of arid lands, and it is believed that if one-half of these could be veclaimed the country would be immevsely the gainer heyond any probable Sutlay: B iucr shan shis, senieved that the plan of irrigation sugzested by Professor Powell and other eminent engineers would be of incal- culable benefit to the farmers of an ex- tended region in averting, or at least greatly lessening, the destructiveness of the annual floods along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The senate pro- poses an appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars for the purpose of ex- perimenting, and the government can afford the expenditure of that amount for so manifestly important an object.

Reform Demanded in the Washington Street Cav Service, WaASHING to Tue Bre]—The remarkable condition of affairs and a lamentable system of wheels within wheels have beeu disclosed by investigations made by the senate committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia in the stveet railroad com- panies in Washington. There are five or six distinet railrond companies in the Dis- trict of Columbia, all conducted under differ- ent names and by distinct sots of minor ofil- cials, yet the, all owned or controlled by one compan, object in maintaming separate organizations for each system of lines is to give the pareut company more arms with which to fight congress against restrictive legislation, and to keep out rival lines. Although the parent company dis- claims control of the four or five branch lines , the tickets for all the lines in the district are interchangeable. Another nh{ t in maintaining these s ate organizations and disavowing par care over all is to enable the gencral agement to show by statement that s the lines are not self sustaining, and for that cason further legislation should not be madeagainst them—on the ground that while they might be losing woney otuer branches in the syndicate were reaping a harvest amounting to 30 or 40 per cent on the invest- ment every year. Two or three of the branch linés are miserable apologies for street railroads, and it is true that they do not make much money, but it is necessary o' maintain them to keep out opposition and to make the proper connections with the popular lines, which ar¢ mines of profit. By disavowing ownership” of these poor lines the parent company can control the field and Ieep down not only opposition, but legisla tion by congress whica would relieve the public of a great deal of inconvenience. There s great agitation going o in certain sections of Washington dgainst the bob-tail car system in use on two or three of these lines. It was only a few years ago that all the street cars in Washington were bob-tails, rnd passengers were required to go to the boxes upon entering the cars and deposit their fare. The cars with conductors were finally secured only ul;mme mostdiligent and positive demands by the public. Meet- ings were held and resolutions adopted to the effect that no one should deposit fares in the boxes in some instances, while in other instances the meetings resolved to not patronize the lines until cars with conductors were adopted. The same proceedings have just been. taken in respectto one or two more lines, and the companies have been notified that they will be given until Sep- tember to provide cars with conductors aund the usual accommodations furnislied by first class corporations. 2 LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPEECH Ward Lemon Says It Was Unappre- ciated When Delivered. Chicago Tribune: A duy or two be fore the dedication of the National come- at Gettysburg, Mr. Lincoln told me that he would bo expected to make & speech on the occasion: that he was ex- tromely busy, with no ime for propru- | tion, and that he gre would not be able with credit, much less to fill the meas- ure of public expectation, From his hat (the usual roceptacle of his privato notes and memoranda) he drew a page of foolscap, closely written, which he rend to me, first remarking that a memorandum of what he intended to say.
