The circular calling for contributions to the democratic national campaign fund is rapidly working this er AvrtTnovGn this is a campaign of torchies, brass bunds and banners, there neaver was & presidential year when the country was flooded with so many tariff tracts. The man who does not inform himself on the tariff question with all this literature going a-begging has only himself to blame. THE rumor] of the immensity of the wheat crop in India this year, happily for the American farmer, is not borne out by the statoments of the Pioneer Mail, the official organ of India. Tt is true, India has enjoyed a good harvest, but the crop is not up to the standard in quality and is inferior to the American product. Em————— ‘WHAT between poor street sweeping and open violation of the law by griders our main thoroughfares are daily grow- ing filthier, The police should insist that the ordinance shall be enforced which provides that tail boards shall be used in all carts hauling dirt on our streets. It is now a practical dead let- ter. THE democrats of this district are scouring the woods for a man with a “‘bar’l” to contest the candidacy of W. J. Connell, The Douglas county democ- racy are willing to pledge South Omaha for all the votes that are needed to make o majority, always providing that tho necessary axlo grease is furnished. ———— THERE is a possibility of four candi- dates for mayor in the city of New York. Tammany will nominate one, the county democracy one, the republi- ®ans one and possibly the labor party one. Of late years there has been a great increase in the growth of non- partisan voting in the municipal affairs of the metropolis. If the republicans nominate a good man they have the best chance in years to elect their can- + didate. ——— Tae killing of Fuljames, the pugilist, in a prize fight, may possibly have the effect of stirving up the authorities to more vigilance and activity for the pre- vention of these brutal encounters, which have become far too common and goneral. More than a goneration ago a sudden check was given to an epi- demic of prize fighting by the killing of McCoy, a famous fighter of the time, by another pugilist named Lilly. That ovent was far moro brutal in its details than the one which has just occurred, and for a year or two thereafter prize fights were of very rare occurrence. This so-called sport is far too prevalent throughout the eountry at this time, and there ought to be a summary check put toit. It is capable of very great harm and not the least bit of real bene- fit to anybody, B1oux Crry extends an invitation to the world to visit her corn palace, which from the description far surpasses in extent and attractiveness the palace of last year. Sioux City promises to make comfortable and happy all who come within her gates. Her people are bursting with hospitality and enthusi- asm. They are proud of their enter- prise, and deservedly so. They are determined the world shall know where they are and the kind of stuff they are made of. They merit generous consid- eration aud will receive it. Last year Nebraska corn took the first prize at Bioux City, and will very likely do the same this year. Hence Nebraskans may properly share with western Iowa in its interest in the corn palace enter- prise, which has already been the means of widely extending the fame of Nobraska’s staple product. The dissolution, after & most dramatic episode, of the Indian council at Stand- ing Rock agency, called to consider the question of signing the treaty for the opening of the Sioux reservation, shows that there is great unanimity in opposi- tion to the treaty snd that those op- posed to the treaty are very firm in their attitude. A belief had obtained that the feeling of hostility to the plan provosed by the government was subsid- ing, but the proceedings at tho coun- il appear to show conclusively that this was not well founded. Un- questionably there have been conver- gions, but it 1s evident that they cannot have been numerous,and that the great majority of the Indians still have faith in the counsel of Sitting Bull and other chiefs whose hostility to the treaty is implacable. It is thought probable that the sudden and dramatic termination of the council will be the end of such “‘pow-wows,” and it would really seem to be to little purpose to call together another coun- cil. The duty of the commissioners, of course, is to continue their efforts with the Indians, not all of which, there is reason to believe, have thus far been entirely discreet and well advised, but the indications strongly invite the con- clusion that it will be impossible to ob- tain the number of signatures necessary to the approval of the treaty within the period of one year in which such approval must be given or the treaty fail. Such incidents as that at Stand- ing Rock agency must tend to increase the complications and dificulties, and make the task of the commission havder than at the outset. It was a decisive victory for the opponents of the treaty which will strengthen their fiemness and zeal, and very likely have the effect to draw to their side such as ave wavering. It was a result that leaves little hope for the success of the treaty The Indians have blundered. It has been talked in congress that if they ro- jected this treaty it would ba the duty of congress to take adifferent course and compel them to relinquish a portion of the reservation which now stands a solid obstruction to the progress of a large scetion of the territory of Dakoti. Tt is hardly questionable that the popu- lar judgment of the country would ap- prove such a course. If the Indians re- fuse to accept a proposition, which afte most carcful and prolonged delibsration congress and the president approved us being fair and just to them, and which is regarded by the people as being so, the timent of the country will most certainly demand that the obstruction they seek to maintain shall be sum- marily removed. Regarding as highly probable the failure of this treaty, that result would undoubt- edly lend to a change of policy in dealing with these wards of the nation. There is a quite general foeling that the practice of making treaties with the Indians should be abandoned, and thay congress should logislate regarding them just as it does for all other people under the control and jurisdiction of the government. There is no doubt of the right of con- gress to do this, and the opinion is widely extended that the time is come to drop the old policy of treaty-making and allow the Indians no greater con- sideration than is accorded the white citizens of the country. The Sloux Are Firm. l Rallroad Officials as Speculators. Our cable dispatches announce the surprise felt by the English public over the fact that directors of American rail- roads are permitted to speculate in the stocks of roads which they control. ‘Why, bless their honest souls, that is one of the monumental advantages of being a divector of an American rail- road. The old-fashioned idea thata railroad directorate was an honorable trust for the stockholders through which men of large business capacity and sterling integrity assured an honest and capable management of di- verse interests has been exploded over since -the advent of Jay Gould. ‘When that “colossus of rogues” started on his inglorious career by wrecking Erie and pocketing $10,000,000 of the money of its stockholders and the pub- lic,a new industry was established of which Gould. has remained for twenty years the head and froit. The manipulation of St. Paul ‘stock by Phil Armour is a weak imitation of the manipulation of Wabash by Gould. ‘What do the Goulds and Villards and Humphreys and Dodges and Palmers, the Stanfords and Corbinsand Crockers and Vaunderbilts and Ames care for the paltry salaries which they draw as pres- idents and directors of great railroad corporations, except so far as it enables them to raise or depress stock values for their own personal benefit? When they have knowledge that the effectof a passed dividend, or dividend not earned but paid out of surplus or borrowed money, will shake the market, there i8 apt to be little delay in manip- ulating figures of annual reports in ol der to indorso such action on their part. Of course the ‘lambs” are shorn. Widows and orphans with their funds invested may suffer, but the rail- road wrecker wins. England makes railroad wrecking a penitentiary offense. The United Stat places a premium on the erime by prais ing the ability of the sharks who build up monumental fortunes by this species of highway robbery, and who drag down to a common ruin both the shs holders for whom they act and the ship- pers who are pilfered to make good the deficiencies of the master robbers. ¥rom One Dilemma to Another. The president was relieved of one di- lemma by the action of the Chinese gov- ernment in rejecting the treaty negoti- ated last spring, only to find himself confronted by another quite as perplex- ing. What shall be done with the re- striction bill now in his hands must be a question as puzzling to the mind of Mr. Cleveland as any with which he has had to deal. If he veto the measure the question of Chinese immigration re- mains where it has beea under the ex- isting treaty, ratified in 1880, which permits the return to America of Chinsmen who had been resident here and gone back to China for business or pleasurc, a privilege which it is claimed has been greatly abused. If he approve the re- striction bill, which distinctly violates the existir® troaty, it is certain that the Chinese government will regard the action as unfriendly, and whether or not it shall have racourse to any form | of retalintion this country cannot ex- pect any future concessions from China. Nor would the respect of other nations for the United States be increased by such a proceeding. It is not a light matter for a government to, deliber- ately violate a treaty, particu- larly when the motive thercto is so obviously political in its character. China may not attempt any sort of retaliation. [t has been flip- pantly said in congress that thero was no danger of anything of this kind, for the reason that the Chinese, being a grasping people, would make any sac- rifice of honoror independence for gain. Perhaps this is so, but we are facing the Judgment of the world in this matter, and is it advisable to make a preceden t that may be nsed against our own honor as a treaty-respecting nation. Apart from thess consider which have an importance present, immediate interest in this matter has roforence to the unhappy dilemma in which Mr. Cleveland has placed himself, for he is chiefly responsible, in his groat anxiety to make political capital out of this question. The new treaty was to be o bait to eateh the Pacifie coast vote, but this was spoiled by the discovery that the convention was really advant- ageous to China, and in order to render it acceptable to this country the sonate amended it. Then cams legislation to carry into effect the provisions of the treaty, approved by the president inthe expectation that the treaty would be cepted by China. All this was of demo- cratic origin, suggested, thero is rea- son to believe, by the prosident himself. Thus far all seemo to be going well, when the report came that the treaty ha'l been ctol. Im- mediately the vestriction bill was intro- duced in the house by tho chief polit- ical adviser of the president, Me. W. L. Scott, and it was rushed through that body in hot hasts and sent to the wte. There had basn no ofdicial in- formation of the rejection of the treaty and the senate declined to follow the rockless example of the house. iually, howevor, the moasure was passed in that body,and after som» delay, which had o purpose in it, the bill was sant to the president. Than camo the official information that the Chinese govern- ment had rejectod the treaty, as now tions, boyond the se ite amendments but beeause stion of congress, which af- fronted the self-respect of the Chiness government, Thus Me. Clevolaad must determine whether he will lot the question of Chi- neso immigreation remain as it is, or by approving the bill in his hands violate the obligations of sting i Po- liti considerations will doubtless strongly incline him to the latter course, but in no event can he derive any advantage. He has 8o conspicu- ously bungled the whole business that in any case all intolligent men must feel that the country has suffered at his hands another humiliation Tue divectors of the Fourth Avenue horse railway of New York y believe that they have solved the problem of the application of electricity to strect cars. Thoe system which js now in oper- ation does away entirely with overhead wires or an unde Both of these methods of applying the elec- tric current to a motor are admitted to be dangerous to life. The system used in New York isthatof storage, each car carrying its own power in cells which are charged at a contral station under the Faure method by practically the same means as that used in lighting Pullman steepers. This is of peculiar interest to Omaha. The oge question to be answered is whether under the stor- age system sufficent power can be gen- erated to surmount -heavy grades. This proved, there is no doubt that the electric motor will solve the problem of rapid transit better than either horse cars or cable. The diffi- culty with horse railways is the expense of maintenance, and with cables tho liability of & stoppage of the entire sys tem by a break in the wire. As the Omaha Horse Railway com- pany are econtemplating a changs in theiwr lines, they will no doubt investi- gate the New York experiment. If it is the success prodicted, there is no reason why Omaha should remain much longer without a complete system of vapid traunsit free from the great dangertolife which accompanies either overhead or underground wires,, THE attention of congress has often been directed to the monopoly which the Alaska fur company enjoys in the seal fisheries. But a deaf ear has been turned to all complaints that the Alaska company was overstepping itsauthority. An appeal, however, has just been sent to the house committee on merchant marine which later may result in the appointment of a committo to investi- o tho abuges. There can be no qu tion that the development of Alaska, with its rich fishing, seal and mineral wealth, is held in check by the pow ful California compuny. Notonly isthe government defrauded out of thousands of dollars annually, but the compan§ uses its contract with the national au- thorities to monopolize the whole trade of Alaska. The agents of the Alaska company are in supreme power at Sitka and other stations. Governmental offi- cials are subsidized, and traders and prospectors, eager to develop the ad- jacent mines, are harrussed and driven out of the country. This state of af- faivs is a burning disgrace to the United States, and were it not that the Alaska fur company maintains a powerful lobby at Washington, its contract would long ago have been forfeited. ————— e OMAnA still tolerates the wi ne room. In u dozen or more places these pitfalls of youth and trysting places of the de- based offer a wide, open welcome to all who will dare to enter. The amount of harm they have done and are capable of doing is incalculable. There was a promise long ago that these haunts would be suppressed, but some influence prevented action regardiag them that would have been effective. The wine room is a more dangerous evil in winter than in summer. Something ought to be done to clode ‘them up before the season comes when behind their shut doors vice will have larger opportunity, and the temptation they offer will at- tract more tims. CAPTAIN JOT BoURKE, who has many friends in Omaha, stood a good second in the vace for the assistant in- spector generalship which went last week to Captain Lawton. The influence of the entire Indiana delegation and the old soldiers of Lawton’s regiment proved, however, too many guns for Captain Bourke and landed the prize. President Cleveland hesitated a long time before making the final decision between twoofficers with such admirable records. Captain Bourke has lost noth- ing by the contest and will be in excel- lent position for the next staif appoint- ment.

Tho case of Love against Chapman has been settled in the United States court, and the sale under executions, which was adver- tised to take place yesterday in connec- tion with the case, was obviated by Chap n giving the plaintift, Love, a check for #18,01 and thus sottling all Love's claims agaiust Chapman, and the costs in the oase.

The greatly developed brain requires all the available room in the kully there is no space left for the at- tachment of muscles for a powerful jaw. Cooked food also causes degenecracy in the development of the jaw. There is constantly noroomleft for either the wis- dom teeth or the second upper incisors; the wisdom teeth are rewrded, often 1se great pain, and dec second incisors appear in startling and unexpected places, and often (in Amer- ica especially) do not cut the gum atall. Prof. Cope says that **Americau dent- ists have observed that the third molar teeth (wisdom teeth) are in mnatives of the United States very liable to imperfect growth or suppression, and to a degree entirely unknown among or even many eivilized races.” Tne sane suppression has b observed in the outer pair of superior ingisors. This is owing not only to a reduction in the size of the arches of the jaws, but to successively prolonged delay in the appearance of the tecth. In the same way men, and the man-like apes, have fewer teeth than the lower monkeys, and these again fewer than the insectivorous mammals to which they are very nearly allied. When this difference in den- tition hasibeen established, civilized man may claim to place himself in a new species, apart from low savages as 1as from high ape MAGALINE FOR OCTOBER IS A Notable Number, CONTAINING LrsTRR WALLACK'S “MEMORIES OF THE LAST 50 YEARS,” ‘tho first of threo papers, giving his reminiscencesas an actor and manager.
