SI0UX will not sign the pledge. And still he is in favor of probibition— that is of keeping the whito men off his reservation Nosopy can tell these hot summer days where a political storm is brewing. That is why so many aspirants for honors are out on the street to be struck ‘by lightning. —— OUR distinguished sick men are get- tingalong well. General Sheridan fights all his battles over again at Nonquitt, wiile Congressman Randall sits up in bed and plays solitaire. —— CUBA is for sale at $100,000,000, but Uncle Sam can’t afford to buy the sugar island just now. Perhaps Haveemeyer might take 1t to balance Claus Spreckle’s mortgage on the Sandwich Islands. RIGHT on the heels of the soap trust comes the news of a jute combine. The new trust has started business on the regulation plan by limiting the output and raising the price of gunny bags. Mr. WeBsTER has given reasons why he is on the congressional race- track. Mr. George Smith has given us no reason as yet, but we apprehend that like Grover Cleveland he is busy pre- puring his letter of acceptance. C——————— ‘WE have heard nothing lately about the removal of Chief Seavey.

The gift will be most acoeptable, and Florence park will become a link in the chain of parks and boulevards about OQmaha. ANOTHER international South Amer- dean railway scheme fram Buenos Ayres to Panama is tallked of to be built by English capital and American enfer- prise. As it takes something ower one hundred millions of dollars to carcy out the project, it may take a few days et before the great American traveler may start from New Yerk for the Ar- Keuntine Republic in a vestibule train. SIp— THE price of hogs at'SBouth Omaha Thursday touched the remarkable fig- wure of $6.50, which is the highest point ever reached in this market, with pros- pects of a still further advance. In Chicago for the same day the best.grade of hogs fetched #6.65, while in Kansas City the prices did not rule nbove 86.85. Fren such evidence, taking everything into eoneideration, it is evident that South Omaha is the leading hog market of the country to-day. ettt ta—— THE reckless statements, so often re- peated in and out of congress, that the farmers of Iowa were impoverished and compelled to mortgage their lands have @ome the state immenasurable harm. A movement is now on foot among the business men of several of the large cities to collect statistics in order to re- fute these charges which injure the eredit and reputation of the people. Jowa is one of the richest agricultural states of the country and is settled by a ‘people unequated for thrilt and sobriety. BSuch a condition alone is sufficient to refute of the statement that the farm- ers of Towa are impoverished. —_— MR. CADET TAYLOR reads the editor of THE BEE out of the republican party, because he has seen fit to state the truth ‘with regard to defections from both par- ties in the national campaign and isnot disposed to play the knave and hypo- erite to the views he entertaina about the blessingsof excessive tamfl taxa- tion, and the utter unfitness of Jim Laird to represent any decentand sober oonstituency in the hallsof congress. This is notthe first time that the editor of The Bue has been read out of the party with which be has been ideuntified for more than twenty-five years, by political barnacles who are willing to support a yellow dog - for any office within the gift of the peo- ple,s0 long as he “‘pays his way” in the campaign. If Cadet Taylor could read out of the party all republicans in Nebraska who are in accord with ', PHE BEE on publi¢ men and issues, the party would have @ very hard time in earrying-this state for its candidates in Justice to a Homesteader, The* name of Guilford Miller, the plucky settler on indemnity lands in Washington Territory who successfully resisted the efforts of the great North ern Pacific corporation to rob him of his homestead, will be inseparably con- nected with the struggle of the govern- mont to restore to the people the millions of neres of the public domain kept unwarrantably from settlement for ars in the interest ot the land grant railroads. Ten years ago Miller settled on one hundred and sixty acres of land in Washington Territory. He improved and cultivated the land, and six years after settling on it made a homestead ent It was within the reserved aren from which the Northern Pacific was to be permitted to select indemnity lands. A time came when the corporation looked covotously upon the attractive farm of Mille and it instituted proceedings to dispossess the settle It seemed to have a good ense, and its attornevs hounded and bullied Miller, while its influence was brought to bear at Washington with all the force at its command, for there was a groat deal more than the question of getting possession of this one farm con- tingent upon the result. But the sturdy homesteader, with all the tremendous odds against him in a fight with a wealthy, influential and determined corporation, fully believing he had justice on his side never for a mo- ment weakened. It was a costly con- test for him, and he met with many dis- courngements under which most men would have surrendered, yet he bravely held on. The details of the several years’ con- tention would make a good-sized vol- ume. Ex-Commissioner Sparks was on the side of the settler, and fearing the then secretary of the interior, Lamar, would decide the other way—a fear for which he had good grounds—he sub- mitted the case of the Northern Pacific vs. Miller to the president. The result was the memorable letter of Mr. Cleve- land to the secretary of the interior, which not only took the side of Miller, but directed a radical change in the policy of the department regarding the reservation indemnity lands. Miller had won his first great advantage, really a substantial victory, and with it was instituted a change under which millions of acres have al- rendy been restored to the public do- main. Since then Miller has remained in the peaceful possession of his home- stead, while the legality of his claim has been under consideration in the de- partment of the interior. On Thurs- day Secretary Vilas rendered his decis- ion in favor of the settler, and order- ing that the homestead entry shall remain intact, subject only to the [pproofs of continual resi- dence and cultivation required by law. The railroad still has recourse to the courts,and as there is said to be two thousand similar cases before the de- partment the corporation may carry the case to the courts. But there can be no doubt that its cause is hopeless. Meanwhile Guilford Miller, the cour- ageous settler whosingle-handed fought for his rights against a powerful cor- poration, has a more solid claim to the approval and admiration of his country- men, than many men of greater fame, His brave fight brought about results of infinitely more importance to the people than those which stand to the credit of many statesmen whose names are known the world over, and have an assured place in history. S————— The South Wants limwmigrants. While a class of persous, chiefly in the eastern cities where the labor mar- ket is somewhat overcrowded, are clam- oring for more restrictive immigration laws, together with legislation which shall prolong the time in which a for- eigner may become a citizen of the United States, thus dgcreasing the value of & most important inducement to most Europeans to come to this coun- try, the south ig earnestly bidding for immigratien. The convention recently held at Hat Bprings, N, C., is under- stood to have been the first step in a general movewent to attract population to the southern section of the union, and particularly to am- press upon the industrious and thrifty people of Europe who may be looking hopefully toward the United States with the great advantages and opportunities which the south offers to such people. Among those who are conspicuously interesting themselves in this matter is Cardinal Gibbons, and in reference ta it he recently said: “The southern states need developing sadly, and I know of no better way to secure this great need than by the offering of ad- vantageous inducements to the honest immigrant of the already over-popu- lated and well-nigh overworked old world.” There is mot a south- ern state with undeveloped resources that would not be greatly beunefitted by the acquisition of competent and willing workers from the old world, and the more intelligent and far-seeing of the people of that section have begun to seriously realize the ex- pediency of encouraging this sort of im- migration, They are as anxious as the people of any other section to keep out these objectienable ¢lasses which are al- ready excluded by law, but they have no sympathy with the demand for addi- tional barriers and restrietions that would shut out thousands of people who would be a most desirable and useful addition to the population. Millions of industrious and thrifty people are wanted in the south to push forward its agricultural and industrial pros- perity, and if five times as many went there as will go during the next few years that section would be immensely the gaimer in all re- spects. The agriculturai lends would largely improve in value, the demand for manufacturess nearest the points of production would be heavily increased, the transportation interests would be enlarged and become more profitable, all the elevating and ameliorating con- ditions following material growth and prosperity weuld be augmented, and speedily there would be a realization of the wew south of which there is as yet but a promise. w4k The south wants population—an ac- quisition of capable and willing work- ers who will go there, ns Cardinal Gib- bons says, to work to better their con- dition, to develop the multitudinous re- | sources of the count and make an | honest, respectable living, Having this want, the people of the south will give no support to thoso who are seek- ing to erect additional and unnecessary barriers against immigration. Ountting and Slashing, There has been a disposition for sev- eral years past to cut and slash all through the residence portion of the city by radical grades that leave some residences forty feet up and others thirty feet down. THE BEE always has been in favor of establishing easy grades on all principal thoroughfares. Lvery large city situatod as Omaha is must neccssarily have roadways in every direction that facilitate rapid and easy transit. Such streets as Far- nam, Cuming, Leavenworth, Harney, Dodge, Douglas, Davenport, California, Tenth, Thirteenth, Sixteenth, Twen- tieth and Twenty-fourth require radical cutting and filling. But it is utterly inoxcusable to disfigure residence streets that arve not thoroughfares and never can be. People who locate on such streets, bonu- tify their grounds and establish cozy and comfortable homes, should not be put to the oxpense and inconvenience of radical grades, engineered through the council for the benefit of specula- tors or favorites. Quite apart from the injust h such reckless grading works, the city loses much of its nat- ural beauty without corresponding gain. This has no reference to any particular street, but on general principles tho council should not slash and cut pro- miscuously. Theve is an ample field for grading contractors on our principal thoroughfares for years to come. Tne game of hide-and-go-scek has begun between the state board of trans- portation and the railroads. When one side is ready the other isn’t, and the play is for each side to dodge the other. This will keep up for a few wonths, uatil the legislature convenes. Other Lands Than Ours. It is evident that the government bill creating a commission, or special court, to investigate tho charges against the Par- nellites, will pass parliament in & form to leave the smallest possible chauce for Par- nell and his associates to sccure a fair and impurtial investigation. There has been no more flagrant instance since the tories came nto power of their unscrupulous purpose to carry out their policy by fair means or foul than is vresented in this measure aud the character of the men who will constitute the court provided for. Tt isa fact of common knowledge that Justice Day, who is to be one of the members of the court, is one of the most bitter and implacable enemies of the Parnellites, whom he has publicly characterized as mfidels and rebels, led astray by a Catholic nation, The two other proposed members of the court may not be 80 strong in their prejudices as Day, but there is every reason to believe that they are sufficiently under the influence of a sonti- ment of hostility to Parnell and his followers that no hopo can be felt of a fair investiga- tion and a just verdict at their hands. Itis not doubted that the charges against Parnell can be disproved to the complete satisfaction of all fair-minded men, but if there should be inability to fully disprove the slightest detail in the charges it is to be ex- pected that the special court will find in such failure a justification for a ver- dict against the accused. It is a court created to convict, and it will take advantage of any excuse to meet the expectations of the power creating it. Knowing this, the world will understand just what value to give to its de- cisions, * e The great question of the hour in Europe still relates to the meaning aund outcome of the meetng of the Russian and (erman em- perors. Conjecture is still rife, but & partial sottlement of the Bulgarian question seems indeed to have been the .only tangible re- suit of the meeting of the two emperors, or at least the only result con- cerning which anythiug whatever has yet been disclosed. And it is not unlikely that this was the object of the Emperor William's visit. The situation was such that a col- lision between Russia and Austria on ac- count of the latter's support of Prince Ferdi- nand was liable to occur at eay moment, and | would beyend doubt have occurred at the opening of spring but for the restraining hand of Pringe Bismarck. Under the terms of the triple alliance such a collision would have involved the participation of -Germany and Italy as well as Russia and Austria, and with these great powers at war, France would have secn her opportunity for “the Revanche.” Warlike though the Emperor Willlam may be, 8nd ambitiots of milltary renown, he might well desire to avoid such a catastrophe in the very first months of his reign, before he has secured that control of the affairs of state which beyond doubt he intends to exercise to the full. To postpone, #f not permanently to prevent, such a col- lision was probably the object of his visit to St. Petersburg. o e There can be no doubt that every conti- nental power would have much to gain by a general reduction of stauding armies. Ger- many would be more benetitted than France, perhaps, because Germany is far poorer than its big neighbor to the westward. Disarma ment, too, would mean the indefinite post- ponement of France’s scheme to win back the provinces wrested from it by Germany eighteen years ago. This would be an im- portant triumph for the governmentof the young kaiser. It would relieve the Ger- mans from all fear of attack from the French, and permit them to reduce the taxa- tion under which the nation has been stag- gering for years past. Reduction of armies would be almost as grateful & relief to Austria and Italy, whose expenditures have long been & burden which has been exhausting their rev~urces and impover- ishing their people. The only opposition an- ticipated to the disarmament policy 18 ex- pected to come from France. The revenge spirit is believed to be so dominant in that country that mo mimstry could lve a day ‘which would serlously suggest such a move- ment, or agree to such & propoesition if made from without, And yet ‘there can be no doubt that, if the two emperors have agreed upon this programme, a demand will be made upon Franee to become a party to the compact. France, of course, will refuse. Will that refusal be sccepted by the other continental powers as a declaration of war by the republict This ¥ & question which at this moment is exciting the publicists and diplomats in every capital from the Neva to the Thames. 0 e The recent debate i the Italisn parlia- ment upon the question of woman suffrage was significant. Even manhood suffrage is still limited in Italy, being confined to citi- zens who can read and write and who pay taxes to the amount of nincteen livre, or about #4 of our money, The population Ttaly is about 2,000,000, and the number. of olectors in 18 was 2,450,807, not haif of whom voted that year, T Crispi, had brought torward & bill for on- o premier, Siguor | | issucs must be, by the verdict of a jury, Ex- larging the n@tgbur of male voters, and one | offered an amendment t§ the effect that women should enjoy the privilage of voting ns well as the men where Shey possessed the same qualifi- cations—that is, the ability to read and write and the paymengiof taxes. Signor Peruzziand some other dgputies made a strong argument, for woman suffrgge, but the amendment was dofeated ovarwheliningly after the premier had stated his oljections was to the effectathat The principal one “the ignorant masses of men in remiptd provinces and communes were governed by the priest or a little pope, who in turn was governed from the vatican, and hence the liberal institutions of the country would run great risk.” This was his reason for opposing universal male suffrage. As to woman suffrage, e believed that 1o give every woman a vote would im- veril the free institutions of 1taly ton times move than to grant indiscriminate manhood suffrage, for whore one man is swayed in his political views by the parish pricst more than ten women ave under the ghostly despotism.” Cardinal Lavigerie ought to, and probably will, be received with open arms in Bugland, where he has arrived on a mission from the pope to arouse public seatiment against tho infamous slave trafic which is still prose cuted vigorously by the Arabs in the Inter- ior of Africa. Eugland has been the foe of this tra or a long time, and her effor! have resuited in restricting it in a great d gree, but sho has found that no one nation is powerful enough to grapple with such an evil. If she has not discovered it, the pope has, and he has determined to make an effort to secure the concerted action of the great European powers in a movenient to put an end to the marketing of human chattels. There is no doubt that if the powers would combme they could bring such a pressure to bear upon the sul- tan of Zauzibar and the khodive of Egypt as to stamp it out finally, and a combination for this purpose would be of infinitely more benefit to the world than a union to crush some little principality which happens to stand in the way of ambitious sovereigns. The vatican, by entering this field, is domng a good work for humanity and religion, and his holiness will receive the euncouragement of Protestants as well as Catholics in his prosecution of the work. »e Probably the most interesting railroad construction of recent years in the Russian road from the Caspian sea to Samarcand, a distanco of 900 miles across great desorts, which was begun in 1880 and completed a few months ago. It was built for military uses, and for a time, at least, cannot pay com- mercially; but it opens up the heartot Persia to European commerce, and may develop something like modern enterprise in a coun- try that was onoe.a centre of opulence, power and learning. '/The road passesthrough so much desert land that water has to be carried by trains to nearly all the stations, In some sections there 'dre no wells of water within 100 miles of each other, On account of the shifting sands hardy shrubs had to be planted along the way to protect the rails from being buried in sand and it is npt yet sure that they will prove effect One of thoe possible results of the construction of the road is a reclama- tion of the deserts, gradually, from many ters and as a result of tree planting. For the present, however, the rond is interesting be- cause it opens P/t its present southern ter- minus a rich country to European commerce. In the event of. war in India it will be of im- mense advantage to Russia, for it spans the sootion of country in-which 1t is most difi- cult to move troops, because of the want of water. Express trains will put Samarcand within five days of St. Petorsburg, though, for the present, even with the aid of the rail- way, it takes about twelve days to make the journey. * **x The sufferings of the Scotch crofters from the exactions aund cruelties of landlords have been hardly less severe than those of the people of Ireland. Whilst over 2,000,000 acres of fertile lands were grazing grounds for deer. hundreds of families were hudgled in old and disused kilns, unfit for human habitation; and when a raid was recently made by them on a deer forest in order to kill and divide the animals many of them had not a grain of meal in their houses and their babies had not tasted wilk for months. The crofter act, ‘which was passad by pertiament two years ago, gives some little relief in theshape o fair rent and fixity of tenure under certain conditions; but it does not dea! with the ne- cessity for more land, end it leaves the griev- anee of the deer forests untouched. The real thing needed is a law based on the principie that the land shall be used for the benefit of the paople, and that, subject to the payment of a fair rent, they shall be resettled on the land that is capable of supporting them. Unless this shall be done the English govern- ment will soon be confronted by a problem as dangerous ag was the Irish question in its acutest stage. N *t Tt is & famous visiting year for European sovereigns. Queen Victorla some months ngo traveled to italy and Berlin, while on poor Emperor Frederick’s hometward journey from San Remo King Humbert met him. Emperor William is swinging around the cfr- cle in elaborate style, having already made a vislt to the czar,n visit to King Osear, of Sweden, and a visit to King Chrstian, of Denmark, with visits also to King Humbert of Italy and Bmperor Francis Joseph of Aus- tria, in prospoct. The czar will probably spend some wecks with King Christian, and meanwhile King George, of Greece, is on & visit to his brother-in-law, the czar. Tha sultan looks on wistfully at all this visiting, in which he does not participate. Tt has not seemed to oceur to Emperor William to take in Paris on his peregrinations. The Fishing Prestdent.

Have the Railroads Canght a Tartar in Towa? Chteago Tribune, It is dificult to see what reason the rail- roads have for rejoiemng over Judge Brewer's decision restraining the Towa Railroad com- mission from -enforcing its new schedule of rates until it is determined judicially ‘whether the charges fixed are reasonable or ot | mot. Inits full scopo Judge Brewei’s decis- fon implies that the question of the roas ableness of a railroad rate is a matter of fact to be determined ultimately as all such perts would be ealled on to give testimony as on the hearing of any other difficult and com- plicated question in court, but the final ver- dict must come from twelve good and lawful wen. Do railroad stockholders and railroad managers think they have scored a great point in securing a decision which intimates that the reasonabloness of rat of fact to be determined by jur from the common people? Judge Brewer intimates quite clearly what instructions he would give a jury sum- moned to pass on the reasonabloness of rail- road rates. He would instruct the jury that the rates must be sufticient to pay for train sor and other oxpenses, defray fixed charges in the form of intercst on bonds,and leave “‘something, howe small," for divi- dend on stock. he intimation throughout the opinion is that nothing would be allowed for tho sake of returns on waterod stock or other bogus capital.

CRAWFORD, ONE OF THE WORST CASES, Wo have been selling your Cuticvna Re: Will the Grand Isla Along the Union Pacific. The Kausas City Times of Wednesda; publishes a report to the effect that the Kan- sas City, Wyandotte & Northwestern is negotiating for the purchase of a controlling intercst in the St. Joseph & Grand Island road, and that to consummate their object, President Bethel and General Manuger Erb of the Wyandotte & Northwestern, have been east endeavoring to raise money for the purpose of making the purchase. It was further stated that President Charles Fran- cis Adaws, of the Union Pacific, and a num- ber of New York and foreign capitalists held a meeting, and that it was virtually de- creed to sell the Unjon Pacific’s controlling intercst to the Wyandotte company. The St. Joseph Herald's railroad reporter interviewed General Manager C mings, of the Grand Island, who promptly denied the report and declared it to be groundle: But from information gathered yosterday it appears that there is good grounds for believiug this rumor is correot., “Tho Ution Pacific docs not regard the St. Joseph & Grand Island as a paying branch and in fact it1s not. In 1887, the shortage in_earnings as compared With expenses was $30,561.81, and the owners of this branch are notn a condition us regards financial affairs to stand such & drain upon their treasury The line of the Grand Tsland is 252 miles in length and by _connecting with the Wyan- Kan., all the country west of that point would be made tributary to Kansas City, This taken in conncction the fact that the Atchison, Topoka & Santa Fe intend to connect with the Fre- mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley for Omalia would throw the trade herctofore en- joyed by St. Joseph to Kansas City and Omabia_ with the odds in favor of the latter owing to the distance being less and rates much lower. This is conceded by leading railroad men to be the reason why St. Joseph denies the report of the Times. 1 be Sold?—-Crops With Corns and Bunions when you can socuro immediate and per- manent relief, at small oxpense, Dy using MuAD's Cor~ and Bun- 10N PLASTERS, Which are sold and recommended by every live Druggist throughout the United States nnd Canad fevers and other summer w8 it 15 advisable to purify ck room dally, and for this purpose nothing excels HYpRON- APRTHOL PASTILOVS.
