" LIKE A BOMB IN THE CANP. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: . Democratic Hypocrisy Exposed By the Benet Ciroular. THE CIVIL SERVICE HUMBUG. Present Outiook on the Republican Tariff Bill—An Incident Showing Judge Thurman's Love For the Negro. Al Cry “Shame!" WASHINGTON BURRAU Tiie OMATA Brm, 513 FOURTERNTH STREET, ‘WasuaiNarox, D. C., Sept. 29. No greater bomb shell has been exploded in the democratic camp during the present campaign than that which was fired this '+ morning when the newspapers containing the “Henet” circular made their appearance. On every side the action of the burcau of ord- nance was condemned. Republicans look upon it as an open violation of the first prin- ciples of civil service reform and are out- spoken in their condemnation of the policy prevailing in the war department which « made it possible to visit political wrath uvon innocent women and children. It is believed ., smong them that the publication of the cir- cular will have the effect of opening the eyes of thousands of conservative voters to the picayune smallness to which the democratic party 18 ready to descend, and besides this it is thought that it will certainly disgust men ‘who love fair play and hate hypocrisy. Dem- ocrats who commented upon the circular at all to-day said that it was the height of ab- surd politics, and that it could not be other- wise than damaging to a degree to the demo- oratic cause. TIE TARIFF OUTLC@Y. The door of the senate room occupied by the finauce committee was kept barred all day and no one was allowed to enter. Sen ators Vance and Harris were busily engaged in preparing the minority report on the re- publican substitute for the Mills bill. While it was not definitely decided, it was the gen- eral impression among senators at the capi- . tol this afternoon that the bill will be re- ported to the senate on Monday, accompanied Dy statements of the views of the majority & mnd minority, It is possible, however, that the democrats may not be ready, and in this event nothing will be heard of the bill until esday. There is no doubt exprossed any- Syhere that the discussion will begin durin the coming week or the week after, and every effort will be made to confine the gen- eral debate to the first three weeks of Octo- ber in order that there may be nothing in the way of a recess for elections by the 25th, NEBRASKA MATTERS, Congressman Crisp of Georgia, who prom- ised Mr. McShane to call up the bill to make the city of Lincolna port of delivery, has not yet been able to secure recognition from the “speaker, und he has been called away from the ci This afternoon, however, he made an arrangement with the clerk to the vommitteo on commerce, and that gentleman will see that the bill is called up by some one pext week. Represeutative Laird starts for Nebraska fo-morrow afternoon to enter into the cam- aign. Senator Manderson will follow in bout ten days or two weeks if Senator galls returns in time to pevmit him to do so. W THUEMAN'S LOVE FOR COLORED MEN. A colored man who was a messenger to the offices of the secretary of the treasury snd the comptroller of currency, for many ears, and was removed shortiy after the ncoming of the present administration, on * Yhe ground that he was a republican, tells e an incident which illustrates the “love’ of Judge Thurman for the colored man. I was appointed messenger to Secretary Boutwell's room,” says the colored man, ‘during’ the last year of Grant’s first term fn the white house. It was in the summer pt 1871, I think. After doing messenger ‘Work around the offices of the various head gfl;u-n of the department I was assigned to rk the eo)vylng press in the office of the mptroller of currency. A short time after ymptroller Trenholm took charge of the of- —a little over two years ago—that officer me one day: “I suppose aro a good democrat; are u not, John?' I replied that I was not, but the contrary, was a republican, because republican party had given me froedom, » ballot and the position T occupied. *Well,} id Mr. Trenholm, ‘I think you ought to be . pdemocrat now, because the democratic ad- 1nistration is retaining you in office. Don’t u think that you would be a democrat if ou were assured that you would be kept in is place?’ I replied that I could not be & mocrat because 1 was from principle op- ed to that party, and then it was well jown through the department and among friends that I was a republican with all heart. ‘A fow months afterward,” continued the golored man,” I received u notice of dismis- i from Secretary Fairchild. I went to mptroller Trenholm and asked him to re- fain me in my position, -but was flatly in- ed that nothing could be done for me. comptroller expressed deep regret at my wval, and said he wis! 1 could be re- ed, because I had been very faithful in ry Teature of my work. A strong indorse- it was given me by the officers where I worked, but I was told that I could not . hope to retain my position except through g influence. I was told by the 1 somptroller that Judge Thurman, of Ohio, to ‘Wwhose room I was once a messeager and ho 18 my personal friend, was then at the bbitt house, and that if I would go to him . #nd secure his request for retention that I , ®ould be kept in my position. I went to seo i%ir Thurman and he ived me very S 3 ‘I can only ask to have you re- 1% tained,’ sald the judge, ‘as a demoorat. If ¢, you will announce that g will be one, and wil ou are a democrat permit me to rec- : mond your retention as a democrat, I am o tistied you will Mkofit in your place. Shall » do that?’ I would have done alnost any- ing to bave retained my position, but Shat was wo much to ask, and I frank- iy told Judge Thurman that if he could not ask to have we retained on account of .. bur old frhmlllhlg and because he believed me to be faithful, I would have to go out of . * the federal service. The judge then told me ¥ Em ‘was no use talking to him about keep- ¥ [ g me in oftice; that if colored men want to their places under the democratic ad- ", ministration they would have to turn demo- 3 m as no personal feeling would hold & republican 1n oftice.” This colored man is now a waiter at the i Ebbitt house. Heo has received, he tells me, 1/ @ number of propositions from democrats connected with the administration to return %o his old position as he was a remarkably : ble messenger and copyist, sud his o @-lhuuy with the routine work of the g ury department and his personal ac- ¥ ntanoe with public men made him almost valuable. He says, however, that he never become a democrat for a financial con- AN INDESTRUOTADLE CAR. Every time a severe railroad accident re- . pulting in loss of life is reported in the press . . Mome one comes to the front with a new de- wice for insuring safety in the matter of ..~ rallroad travel, The latest 1o make his ap- b co here is Mr. C. W. M. Smith, of Francisco. Mr, Smith has devised and ted a railway car built of sheet steel such a manner as to be absolutely non-in- fiammablo in all its and which cannot '.de.m-d or brol ‘The whole interior 4s invested with a complete armor of mallea- ble steel. the features of the present le of day coach or sleeping car are main- ed, and it is claimed for this mvention that it can be built as cheaply as the ordi- .fl couch, and that it will weigh no more. e floor and platforms at the ends are either formed of a single sheet of steel, or of ns, with the platform ends cut uvg‘y the steps. The sections that form the at the edges and ges of the side sheets € on the floor sheet at a right angle,and lower edge of the roof sheets setting the side sheets in like manner. At the notion of these floor, side and roof sheets, the anele beams of peculiar construction, the sheets are fixed by eight con- lines of rivets. These angle beams tubular and extend the whole length of Ccar. heets that form the ends of the car flauged and are secured to the floor und roof sheets by wiped joints and Ojponings for the windows are cut ide sbeets, and the edges of the motal % are spin inward and ard to preserve the stiength of the sheéet. The hottom tace of the upper tubular beam and the top face of the lower beam along each side of thecar form ledges to re- ceive the posts or uprights between the win- dows, in which are thé runs for the windows and the blinds. ‘The top face of the fower beam is at suit- able height from the floor to afford a ledge and support for the seats along the outer side under the windows; and the whole interior is strengthened by transverse T braces at suitable distance apart and attached to the side sheets. The joints are caulked and se- cured by hot weld rivets, surfaces of the metal shects inside the car are faced with a sweat lining of lino- leum; a suitable non-combustible heat and cold resisting material, such as cork, is used for psoking between the plates and the lin- ing; also for deadening sound. Kor uphol- stery and inside finish either compressed paper, embossed leather, or shoet copper suitably ornamented can be used. The railroad men who have seen a model of this car sinco it has been exhibited here are enthusiastic in their commendations. They say it will iusure & maximum amount of safoty, and that the indications are that it can not only be built as cheaply ns an ordi- nary wooden coach, but that it will prove an enormous saving to the railroad companies which adopt it, because it can never wear out and cannot be crushed in a wreck, A car built of steel on this plan might be thrown down a_ precipice without materially dam- aging 1t, and with the addition of paper wheels aud all the modern_appliances in the way of couplings, brakes, heating apparatus and electric lighting, it lestined to become the most popular vehicle for travel which has yet been devisea, Prrry S.

FremoxT, Neb., Sept. 20.—(Special to T Bee.|—B. F. French, proprietor of the Da- wvenport hotel of this city, is missing. He left home on Wednesday morning, telling his wife he was going to Omaha to collect a bill of $i0 which was due him on a hay account. He has not returned and the only thing heard of his whereabouts was from a party who saw him 1n Omaha on Thursday morn- ing. Since he left it has been ascertained that he has a large number of creditors in the city, both on book account and notes, the latter being secured. The total amount of his indebtedness is placed at $1,100. When he left he took about $125 in cash from the house, leaving his wife only about $3 to run the hotel. His family have no idea as to his whereabouts, but conjecture that he may have gone to California, where he formerly resided. He has lived in Fremout a great number of years, during which time he has run a hotel himself or been connected with one in some capacity. He has borne & reputa- tion for honesty. His creditors have at- tached his property. . A B. & M. Engine Crippled.

When the train stopped it was found that the heavy rod had in its rapid revolutions nearly demolished the cab, besides knocking @ hole in the boiler, which disabled her. Al The Howard County Fair.

I, who were mar- ried at the state fair at Narragansett Pier Thursday, and subsequently went sailing through space in a big balloon for the delec- tation of some forty thousand spectators, came to this city to-day. *‘We were in the air but a few hours,” said Mr. Davis, “and until the descont was begun the experiment was very pleasant. We had no anchors or sand in the balloon, and when Prof. Allen, the aeronaut, let out the gas we started downward with a rash. Whon we struck the carth the balloon wouldn’t stay there and away it went dragging along, now up in the air then down again, bumping along for at least seven mil Once we got caught in a tree but couldn't getout of the balloon, and Prof. Allen cut away the branches and let us loose ugain.

Mevris, Sept. 20.—The first through passenger train for several days on the Lou- isvillo, New Orloans & Texus railroad left here this morning for New Orleans. The road is now open at all points, Vicksburg this afternoon having raised her non-inter- course quarantine. Nearly all small towns in this vicinity have also abolished the quarantine and drawn in their shotgun brig- ades, All the absent are returning in large numbers and the city is fast again resuming t. its wonted hive 3 —A Decatur, Ala,, four suspicious cases have shown their genuineness, and one or two colored nurses have been taken down with the discase. Robery Cumman and wife are both down with the fever, and Mr. Cum= man is not expected to live till morning. One death occurred last nigut. The total number of cases to date is thirty: total deaths, cight, News from Hancoville states that Bob Stewart is not dead, but that his re- covery is doubtful. An order signed by President Plunkett ‘was issued to-day from the office of the state board of health stating that the stato quar- antine be raised from noon to-day, except as to Chattanooga and Memphis. 20.—~We have JacksoxviLLe, Fla., y, but the ofticial re- port of the board of health shows little dim- inution in the number of new cases, which foots up 94, of which 25 are white and 69 col- ored.

She came here a few days ago from Decatur, Aln,, where her kusband died after o sickness of thirty-six hours of the fever. Every possible precaution has been taken to prevent a spread of the disease. Mayor Roche sent a check for $2,500 this morning to the yellow fover sufferers at Jacksonville, Fla., making a total of 5,000 which has thus far been sent. ——— Dan Lamont Takes a Hand. NEW Yorg, Sept. 20.—(Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—Colonel Lamont was in the city yesterday to see what could be done toward a settlement of the differences in the democratic party and has been in consulta- tion with representatives of the various cliques and factions and executive com- mittees of bovh the state and national demo- cratic organizations, From a disinterested standpoint it looks as if the democracy is hopelessly divided. Hill intends to secure his own election, even at the cost of the na- tional ticket, and the anti-Hill democrats, having secured headquarters and appointe committees, and issued gamphleu seuting forth the corruptness of his administration and reasons why he should be defeated, can- not well recall them or give him their sup- port. Then the local complications in the democratic party are incomprehensible. There are three great factions, and each has determined to nominate a candidate for mayor. Overshadowing all else is the fact that most of the ‘‘fine workers' of the demo- cratic party are for Hill and not for Cleve- land. They have nothing to expect in case the president is re-elected, and Hill's success is everything to them. e The Mormon Emigrants. NEew YoRrk, Sept. 20.—|Special Telegram t0 Tur Bee.|—The cases of two of the Mor- mon emigrauts, those of Nicholas Egle and Hermini Lawen, were this morning referred back to Collector Magone by the commis- sioners of emigration, Superintendent Jack- son sending affidavits to the collector who ‘may revoke his order for their return. Both Egle and Lawen have railroad tickets for Utah and have made oath that they have money and will not be a public charge. Under such circumstances it is not. thought likely the collector will cause their return to Europe, as it would be a violation of the law to do so and would render him or his bondsmen personally liable. The government itself cannot be sued, Almost all the officers of the steamer Wis- consin of the Guion line, on which the Mol mons came here, have been discharged be cause of & drunken sproe Which all except the captain indulged in on the last trip here. Captain Bentley was not aware of the jollifi- cation, and his discharge is looked upon us a very harsh proceeding. ey The Coopers Organize.

Burke, Chicago; finan- cial secretary, W. C. Willahan, Grand Rapids; treasurer, J. J. Kennedy, Chicago. There are 30,000 coopers in America who are Knights of Labor, Their organization, how- ever, has heretofore been imperfect, and has extended do farther than local unions. — The Fire Record.

T e A Band of Littty Partisans Who Pledge the Voteq of Thelr Daddies —Clowé of a Busy , Week, b tb— Harrison's Visitors. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 20.—The first of the visiting delegations to arrive to-day came from Cleveland, O., between six and seven hundred strong. Although smaller in number, it was the best informed and one of the finest looking delegations of the hundreds that have visited General Harrison, It comprised 200 union veterans, commanded by General James S. Barnott. They were known as the “Harrison Boys in Blue' and wore the his- toric cape coats of 1561, The Central Ger- man club, 200 in number; John A. Logan club, Harrison and Morton club, and the Fromont Guards _completed the handsome delegation. 'The Fremont Guards wore strik- ing blue continental uniforms, and each car- ried a log cabin toroh, being a miniature house constructed of colored giass. The Harrison and Morton olub carried large battle axes with ““H, & M." inscribed on the blade. Among the prominent wmen accompanying the delegation were Amos Townsend and Geueral Ed Myers, At noon a delegation of 200 students from the state normal schools at Normal, Iii., dr- rived. There wero twenty young ladios in the delegation wearing jaunty felt hats of all colors, and on one shouider a rosette of red, white and blue ribbons, and on another a handsome badge, The . legations arrived at noon and marchc® to University park. General Har. rison’s appoarance was grocted by & storm of cheors. The young ladies occupied the choicest seats” immediately fronting the speaker's stand, General Ed Meyers spoke on behalf of the Cleyeland visitors, and Student William Gal- braith for the Normal delegation. General Harrison, midst renewed cheers, stepped forward and in a_clear, ringing voice, ad- dressed the visitors at some length, he delegation from Chicago did not ar- rive until 4 o'clock. They numbered about one thousand voters, The organizations rep- resonted were tho veterans club of 1840, fifty members; John A. Logan club, Twelfth Ward republican club, Italian republican club and the Second Regiment band of forty piecos. They were met at the depot by vet- erans of the Harrison and Morton regiment of Indianapolis and two hundred uniformed members of the Columbia club, with a hal? dozen drum corps und bands. Of all the numerous delegations that have visitod the city, perhaps none were honored with larger or more enthusiastic escorts. As the long column_turned into Pennsylvania avenue from Washington street they re- ceived a cannon salute, and during their en- tire march along the avenue a cannon, which was planted on a house top at the corner, boomed its welcomg. The streets along the route were lined “with enthusiastic specta- tors. On arrivingat University park a large crowd, including many of the Cleveland visitors, awaited them., Just before reaching the park the homegescopt clubs opened ranks, and as the Chicago, boys marched through, cheering, the scéne vas most animating. Judge John W. Greef, in the absence of Mayor Roche, deliverell a congratulatory ad- dress on behalf of the delegation at large, followed by Dr. D. A, $mith, who spoke for the Tippecanoe veterans. After the cheers had subsided General Harrison made a re- spouse. As General Har#sor'was proceeding home- ward, and_reachod the corner of University park, on Vermoht, stteet, ho unexpectedly encountered his third’ and last delegation of the day. Thirty little girls, ranging in age from four to twelve years each, arrayed in handsome uuiforms of red, white and blue, were drawn up in‘ military line on the side- walk. As the gemeral approached little Annie L. Dynes, then captain, addressing him, and said: “General Harrison, Itake pleasure in in- troducing to you these children of the south side, whose parents are working men and women, and who desire the success of the re- blican party, the true friend of the work- ng men, women and children everywhera." Then, at a signal from their spokesman, the little partisans chanted in unison: We are for Harrison, he is the man, If we can't vote, our daddies can. Then they gave three cheers for General Harrison, who respondei briefly to this unique delegation. He then passed along the line and shook hands with each little midget, addressing several of them in a fatherly way. It was nightfall when the General reached his home and concluded perhaps his busiest week thus far in the cam- paign. —— Thurston at Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 29.—Hon. John M. Thurston of Nebraska addressed a crowded house here to-night. E. 8. Taylor of Chicago also spoke. Senator John Sherman and Gov- ernor Foraker will arrive in Indianapolis October 11, the same day that Blaine is due, and will both speak at thesame meeting with Blaine. ‘The republicans will hold a big demonstration on the night of the 11th, Blaine Speaks in New York. New YoRrk, Sept. 20.—In the northern part of this city, seven miles from the postoffice, a throng of people estimated to have num- bered 100,000, to-night gathered in and atout the polo grounds where the Giants play ball to listen to republican speeches made by J. G. Blaine, J. B. Foraker, General A. B. King, of Maryland. A.S. Morrison, of Ari- zona, and John Finerty, of illinois. A rush, with arapid filling up of the greatspaco within followed the openingof the doors, and the crowd from the very outset inaugu- rated a series of cheers tuat outlasted the meeting itself. The decorations of the grand stand and other platforms were on a scale of profusion. Streamers were strotched across the roof of the grand stand, escutcheons of the various states wero placed at interven- ing points along the posts, and in the midst of these were huge portraits of Hagrison and Morton, Many platforms bore appropriate decorations and were scattered at different ?olnu of the grounds. The main platform, rom which the speakers addressed the meet- ing, faced the grand stand, about a hundred fect distant, and on this sat tho invited guests of the evening. Here, too, were large portraits of the republican presidential can- didates, flanked on either side by the stars and stripes. Calcium and elec- tric lamps shed, tneir white lLght over the entire grounds, and there were Cappa's and half a dozen other bands playing national and other airs-during the ovening. Stereoptical views yere also exhibited bear- ing on free trade and protection, and this much pleased '.hoeg?l crowd. Before the meeting comment e song, “Grovar's Farewell,” was started.: The immense throng joined in the chorus, that seemed like the Toar of a storm blasy, brpss bands leading the air, ' President Humphroy, of the Harlem Re- publican club, whioh had projectod the meet- ing, welcomed the 'people from tho main stand, while others, were performing the same offico :ml introducing speak- ers at the othér stands about the grounds. He introduced Hon. J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, who addredsed the people, Before ho had finished thore were cries of *‘Blaine; here comes Blainé” and as that gentleman appeared on the platform a scene of indis- cribable enthusiasm followed. Cannon were fired, rockets burst in the air, a band struck up *Hail to the Chief,” and deafening cheers rent the air. When the turmoil had subsided the %re-ldhx. ofticer told the dmopla that in the Chicago convention a dele, had shouted that James G. Blaine would be found in the thickest of the fight. The thickest of the fight was now in New York City. It began at Harlem and would end at the battery. It would land Harrison and “Morton in the white house, and here, then, was Blaine, whom the chairman introduced. When Blaine could be heard he began his address by wmmonunfl on General Harri- son’s “remarkable ability in condemning the argument within the dimension of roverb.” The same had been true of Frank- in and of Lincoln. General Harrison's ref- erence to dogmatic free traders as ‘‘students of maxims and not of markets” had exposed in one sentence the fallacy of their economic . Blaine then went into history and his 8 ‘h dealt entirely with record of high tagiff and low tariff, and the relative effect of eadh upon the country, Hon. J. F. Finerty followed Blaine in. a speech, which was well received, after which Rev. W. B.

The following is taken from a recent issue of the Courier, published in Petaluma: *“The Knights of Honor in our city feel proud of a record that is hard to beat. The explosion of the steamer Pilot some years ago is still fresh in the memory of all. Among those in- jured was Charley Palmer, the pilot, who, though he survived the injuries, was maimed for lifo—a family to support, yet a helpless invalid. Fortunately while in health he omed the Knights of Honor in our city, and n July succumbed to the inevitable—death relieved him of his sufferings. On July 25 the proof of death reached the supreme lodge, and on the 27th, two days after, a warrant for §2,000 was sout to his afficted family. Nor is that ail. Early in July Glovanni Mattei died. Proof of death reached the supreme lodge on July 80, and on August 1, one day after, $2,000 was sent to the widow of the doceased brother. Every practical mind will call this quick work, and the live principle—promptness— is the cornerstone of its success. The Knights of Honor is oue of the oldest and most substantial of all the fraternal associa- tions to-day. It was established in June, 1873, and to September 1 has paid to the widows and orphans of acceased members of the order the large sum of §24,444,000.” e A Sloux City Sensation, S1oux Ciry, Ia,, Sept.
