THE English and American salt in- terests are about to unite for harmony and higher prices. There is no danger of an artificial drought, however. Prov- idence rains in the west. Tre Valkyrie is a protty lively yacht for an English craft, but she can not throw salt water on the boy, of the Yan- kee Volunteer. The American cup will not cross the Atlantic this year. THE observance of Memorial Day in Omaha should be appropriate as well.as imposing, and the committee soliciting funds should be encouraged with gen- erous subscriptions. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON is about to stick another pin into County Clerk Roche for extravagance in buying a gross of Spencerian writing pens. Judging from Mr. Anderson’s last cru- sade, there is little danger that his pricking will draw any blood. THE Indians of Standing Rock agency “are reported to have Leld a council re- céntly, and to have decided not to sign a treaty-unless paid eleven millions. Has somebody been telling the Sioux of the amourit of Uncle Sam’s surplus ? e ] THE Illinois sehate is.reported to be indignant over the newspaper exposure of jobbery in that body. There are few incidents in public life so ludicrous as the “‘honest indignation” of a collection of toodlers when their schemes are ,brought to light. THE low price of brick this season should induce the use of it more gen- erallyin the erection of dwellings and cottages. A brick house is not only more substantial and attractive than one of frame, but there is a positive saving 1w the owner due to repairs and . insurance. THE county commissioners have negotiated to hold possession of the old ‘eounty poor house until Januaryl, 1890, . or umtil the completion of the new hos- pital, From the present condition of things, however, the commissioners would be safe in extending this contract until January 1, 1980. THE complaint filed against the yard- master at the Tenth street depot for ropeatedly violating the ordinance sgainst obstructing that street was timely, He should be given to under- stand that the people of Omaha have rights to a street crossing which even the Union Pacific is bound to respect. THE prohibition wave does not affect English contidence in American brew- #rics asa profitable investment. The wyndicate which recently captured sev- ' eral large vats in this ‘country cheer- fully announces to the stockholdars that She investment will net fifteen per cent shis year, — ONE of the best indications of re- viving business is furnished by the < railronds, During the past week eloven westorn railroads handled.sixty- eight hundred cars of grain, against forty-three hundred cars the previous "week. The movement of grain to market gives every promise of permu- nency, and will result in an active re- vival of all branches of business. TuE appointment of Judge Zane to be ehuef justice of the territorial supreme court of Utah will be received with uni- versal satisfaction. Judge Zane is not at all a stranger to Utah or to the high judicial position to which he has been called. President Arthur selected him in 1884 to become chief justice of the territory, and as such he had more to @o with the suppression of polygumy than any other one person . THE press of Montana is explaining “the reasons for the light vote cast for the members of the gonstitutional con- wvention on the ground that the election was called at the busiest season of the year. Itwas not indifference on the part of the votors to statehood. But the _sheep men were in the midst of the “lambing season and the farmers were busy putting in their crops. The popu- lation moreover being scattered, it would necessitato a grent doal of time snd inconvenience to go to the polis . through muddy country roads, due to the stormy weather at that'lime. A full .. ¥ote, however, is promised in October, * when the people of Montana and the ~ . otlior territories will be called upon to _ @leut state ofMotals. THE SOUTH AND PENSIONS. The democrats of the south are not well pleased with the liberal pension policy of Commissioner Tan- ner. They have never regarded the pension system of the country with favor, and there can be no doubt that the system would have suff- ered had the last presidential election resulted differently. Having always felt that the share of the pension money paid by the south is an oppressive and unjust exaction, the southern dem- ocrats who applauded Mr. Cleve- land’s numerous pension vetoes are in a mood to protest against the disposition of the present administration to deal justly and gener- ously with the union soldiers. It is a policy that sorely grieves them, and they would very much like to impress the country with the idea that there is cause for alarm in it. “Tho case is rather a hard ove,” re- marks the Atlanta Constitution, which Bgures that the south's proportion of the pension payments this yenr 18 some- what in excess of thirty million dollars. “The policy of Commissioner Tanner furnishes cause for alarm, but the policy of the government goos deeper. No statesman seems brave enough and no party strong enough to withstand the demands of the pension sharks and such olements of the G. A. R. as they can use.”” The Consttution observes further that “thero is a steady stream of taxes paid by Georgians flowing into Towa (which has equal population with Goorgia), and which carries three millions into that state every year.” We have no doubt the figures ol our contemporary are somewhat exaggerated, but that is not a matter of great importance. The feeling betrayed is the significant mat- ter. The donunciation of the Grand Army, the arvaignment of the commis- sioner of pensions as working into the hands of the pension sharks, and the general tone of opposition and protest, are what give interest to the enuncia- tions of the Constitution. These show what the prevailing feeling is at the south regarding thg vension policy of the government, and indicate what may be expected if the democratic party should return to power with the southern element in control of it. Tt is not questionable that nothing which Mr. Cleveland did while presi- dent so strongly commended him to the good opinion of his party in the south as his pension vetoes, and had hebeen re-elected and vhe lower branch of con- gross continued in democratic control there would have been little show for union soldiers not already pensioned, however strongly they might demon- strate their claim to the government’s benefaction, and very likely many of those who are receiving pen- sions would have had their al- lowance reduced. A Southern de- mand to be relieved as much as possible of what is regarded as an oppression and an injustice to the people of that sec- tion would not have gone unheeded. But the complaint of the south in this matter is not hikely to receive any seri- ous consideration during the next four years, It is not entitled to it. If Georgia is sending three million dollars annually into Jowa in payment of pen- sions she could not devote that amount to a worthier cause, and the total of thirty million dollars a year paid by the south is a very moderate charge upon that section for the benefits of a preserved union. The work accom- plished by the brave and loyal men who are the recipients of the nation’s bounty wus not less valuable to the south than it was to the north, and the people of that section should gladly and gratefully meet every demand upon them for rewarding the heroes who sus- tained the government and defeated the effort to divide the nation. Let the people of the south be as generous as they please in making pro- vision for the men who fought to destroy the union. Let them erect homes for them and otherwise provide for them whatever way they properly may. There will be no fault found with their doing so. Butat the same time they should pay cheerfully and un- grudgingly every dollar asked for the union soldier, counting the cost of his reward not as an exaction, but as a just obligation to be honored faithfully and uncomplainingly, as one of the most sacred a free people can charge them- selves with. A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL. The tenth anniversary of the Indian training school at Carlisle, Pa., was celebrated a few days ago. This has been a most successful institution, When established it had one hundred and fifty-seven scholars, and it now has six hundred and seven. Fourteen girls and boys were graduated this year, and they are described as refined in man- ners and far removed from savager, Tho school is supported by the govern- ment, and Indian youths of both sexes are admitted to it, recciving a five years’ course of study, It is an earn- est, common sense effort on the part of the government to bring the Indians out of their ®barbarism and exclusive- ness, and unite them and their interests with the people of the country. It,is an exponent of the idea that Indians can bo civilized if placed among civi- lized poople. Among a number of prominent per- sens present at the anniversary was the secretiry of the interior, General Noble, who presented the diplomas and made an, address on the Indian question. Among other things he said that the president was determined on se- curing entire justice tothe Indians, and that the men who are appointed as agents, inspectors and traders must un- derstand that in the discharge of duty they must secure sobriety, truthfulness, justice und decency within their com- mand. There can be no question as to the value anld importance of this inati: tution. Phe Indian children it sen out trained in the ways of civilization can not fail to exert & good influence upon the tribes to which they return. But it has been fouud that not in all cases does the education of Indiun children elimivate the instinct for a wild, indolent and more or less barbar- ous hfe. Muny who have returned to their tribes from the schools have speedily abuudoned the methods and, manners of civilized life and resumed the habits and practices of their teibes, the influence of the adults overcoming the teachings of the schools. This may not happen with any of those who have just graduated from the Carlisle school, but it is a danger which besets all In- dinn children who return to their tribes. — THE proprietors of the Bourne mills, of Fall River, Mass.,, announce that they will begin on July 1, asystem of profit sharing with their employes, to continue in force until January 1, 1890, and longer if the scheme proves suc- cessful. The Bourne mills are con- sidered one of the most prosperous of the Fall River spinners, and its stock holders have received from fourteen to sixteen per cent dividends. 'The ex- periment entered upon by this conserva- tive company will be watched with in- terest by manufacturers of New Eng- land. Fall River is one of the largest textile fabric centers of the country. It is one of the first cities to feel the effeets of trade depression, and has in the past been the scene of prolonged and disastrous strikes. Should the new departure be found to work well in the Bourne mills, the other cotton mills in that city will be likely to adopt that plan in order to increase the efficiency of their employes and prevent the oc- currence of periodic labor disturbances. DAKOTA towns bordering on the Sioux reservation are on the threshold of a season of business and industrial activity. The opening of the reservation to settlement this year will work a wonderful change in that sec- tion. It will add thousands to the population of the territory, bring mil- lions of acres of land under cultivation, create now and strengthen old towns, and turn what is now a barren waste into blooming fields of grain and pasture lands. The effect of thisincrease in vopulation and cultivation will be a tonic for the business interests of the country, and its invigorating effects will be felt in all surrounding towns. Omaha jobbers should be prepared to enter this inviting field and secure a share of the trade. THE forthcoming statement of the carnings of the Chicago & Northwest- ern for the month of April, to be read to the stockholders within two weeks at their annual meeting, promises to he a most interesting showing. The road will not only be able to pay its six and seven per cent dividends, but will carry over a surplus for the year of three quarters of a miliion. With all the croaking that has beon going on of losses due to the reduction of rates in Towa and other states, 1t is quite evi- dent that those railroads whose manage- ment is legitimate and prudent, are making money, PROFESSOR VIRCHOW’S pictures of post mortem horrors possess an entranc- ing graveyard charm. There is some cold comfortin knowing in advance how to maintain rigid composure while the dissecting knife is gouging your inter- ior for atoms of disease, or the most comfortable way to turn in the box when the means of ventilation are sadly deficient. People who disagree with the professor are at liberty to experi- ment. THE crop reports for last week all over the country, are eminently satis- factory. The wheat and corn belt of the west and northwest is in excellent condition due to timely rains, and all that is now needed is seasonable weather to insure bountiful harvests. Then It Must Be Tough.

It is conceded by tne lawyers of all coun- tries that the United States supreme court is the mightiest lezal tribunal in existence to- day. .

Blodgett procured a writ of attachment, alleging that there was due him a little matter of §150 as commis- sions for the negotiation of the.trade, in which the farm was exchanged for the horse, and the stoed was soon landed back at Skin- ner's barn. Then comes Attorney Green, who filed Plaintiff McCoy’s complaint before Judge Stewart, charging Fort with obtain- ing the deed for the farm in question under false pretenses, The warrant was imme- diately served upon Fort at Blodgett’s office, and on arraignment he entered the plea of not guilty. His attorney asked for a continuance until the 15th of June, but to this the attorney for the state would not consent, whereupon the defonse filed & mo- tion to quash the complaint, and the issue went over uutil the time first stated. The opinion is quite general that Fort is in a nasty predicament. A Disclaimer. An item appeared in these columuns re- cently to the effect that Messrs. Hancock & Davey had been induced to pay Architect Wilcox a certain amount for accepting their lath for the capitol building. Mr. M. R. Davoy takes exception to vhis statement in a letter addressed to Tue BEE., as follows: “Through your Lincoln correspondent, you have done me an injustice. In tho suit of Hancock vs Davey, itis in evidence that I never gave Mr. Wilcox, the architect of the capitol building, a cent nor agreed to do 80 3 neithor dia he (Wilcox) ask for any money. Tho plaintiff, Hancock, is the only one who suggested to pay all architocts who would adopt this lath. Mr. Wilcox knows nothing about this matter whatever,” Both Horse and Thief Captured. About 10 o'clock last evening Joseph De Klotz was arrested by Marshal Cooper and Ofticer Splain, on information from L. W. Martin, sheriff of Saunders county, charging him with horse steaiing. De Klotz is charged with stealing a very valuable horse from James W. Boyle, a farmer who lives near Coresco, on last Friday, and the evidence against him is said to be conclusive. The accused came to Lincoln_yesterday and se- cured work from Huffard_ Bros., the South Twelith street butchers, but was soon ap- prehended and run down. De Klotz worked for Boyle several months last summer. On coming to Lincoln ho secured pasture for the horse near the hospital for the insane, and then proceeded to secure employment. Sheriff Martin cume down_1ast night and ro- turned with his prisoner this morning at 7 o'clock, and a deputy secured_the horse an hour or so later and started northward, overland. Lacrosse at Seward. The Simmons and Lincoln lacrosse clubs, both of this city, will put up a game at Sew- ardon Decoration day, and, it is stated, be- cause there are no suitable grounds in readi- ness here. Both clubs are practicing daily, and the game wiil doubtless prove to be an exciting one. Mr. Wall, of the Detroit club, has kindly consented to captain the Lincolns in the game, and C. E. Adams, of New York city, will veferee the match, It is learned that the game will be called promptly at 8 o'clock, and the players would like to see as many Lincoln people on hand as possible. The train leaves the Burlington depot promptly at 12 o'clock. Preceding the mateh, it is said, there will be a 100 yard dash by three record beaters, and this will be no small part of the day’s pleasure. La- crosse, in Lincoln, scems to be taking the place of the national game. Irish League Mceting. ‘fhe Lincoln branch of the Irish National league held a special meeting this afternoon at Fitzgorald’s hall. Secretary Sutton, who has just roturned from a trip through the east, delivered the address of the day, As usual, however, the vocal and instrumental music made up the most interesting part of the programmo, This feature of the Sunday afternoon meetings of the league is becom- ing very interesting. The Lincoln league is in a bighly prosperous condition, St. Paul's New Pastor. Rev, I, 5. Stein, of Milwaukee, has ac- cepted the pastorate of St Paul's M. E. church, and will preach his initial sermon next Sunday morning. Rev. Stein is said to be 8 mau of broad views, highly educated and a most thorough ohristian gentleman, During college days he was a classmate of Postinaster Watkius, of this city, who speaks of him very flatteringly. He comes to his charge under most auspicious circumstances and a great deal is expoeted of him. A large audience will doubtiess greet him at his initial service. City News and Notes. Bishop John H.

Episodes illustrating the heroisin of our aucestors have been gleaned from all the most reiiable sources and utilized for the masonry of the work, as being the best material for constructing the foundation of patriotism in the minds of chil- dron, 1leal patriotisia is & passionate love for one's country, u love thut subducs ell else In its intensity, when argused. The grandest actions of our forefathers were tho result of possession of this brilliant virtue. The decline of patriotism fu a nation is the herald of deeay. In the present day thoe minds of men ure absorbed in the frantic hunt for personal gain, and therefore & pi- triot, when recoguized, is all the more wel- come; un active and recvuiting patriot ean render the staunchest servico to this coun- try now, Such aone has Mrs, Peattie proved berself to be in writing this work.

Mrs. Peattio has proe vided the finost seed, culled from tho choios est flowors that have sprung up so luxuris antly on American soil. The opening chapter presents America it was in prohistoric times, when the mi todons and mammoths roved the country, hunted by the mound-builiers, whose name waa legion, judging by thoir stupendous oarthworks. Then follows in language simple and ulctnmrq'ue an interesting ace count of the landing of Colunbus, and aftes that the visit of the gay Spanish cavalior Ponee de Leon, whose bark was wafted b, the gentlo southorn zephyrs to the shores o Florida, and in that peninsula spent sevel yoars searching the woods and shores for the “Fountain of Life.” The arrival of the Eng- lish, Fronoh and Puritans is graphically, buy concisely described, as also are the develop- ments that follow and which effect the ine auguration of the first president of t United States.

The Remarkable Matri monial Expers fence of a Kormer Omaha Woman. From Pomona, Cal, comes the story glven below of a remarkably handsome woman. In substance, it runs as follows: Mrs. Josephine Baxter, who recontly died here, had as varied matrimonial expericnces a8 Chaucer's wife of Bath. She had no less than six husbands in thirty years, and lost them all by death except one, Her career was 8o extraordinary in its alterna- tions of wealth and poverty that it discounts fiction. She was born of wealthy parents in Tarrytown, N. Y., but ran away when sixe teen from Albany seminary with James O'Nelll, whom her parents refused to ncoo'r nize, O'Neill taught school in Toledo unul he died, in 1858, and the young wife was left to take care of her baby. After two years as governess she married Clarence M. Cushman, of Cincinnati, a wealthy pork packer. Cushman died in Rome two years after, and his widow found her affairs so heavily involved she saved little from the estate. She returned to this country, and found her third husband in 1860 in St. Louis in Lieutenant Oscar D. Williams, of the regular army, who was statione in Colorado. Her husband was drowned in Montana one year later, and then for three w." she taught in the family of Senatot ‘ashburn, of Miuneapolis. There she mar~ ried Preachor Wilkins, who went as a mis, sionary to Siam and China. He died in Hong Kong, and she brought her fourth spouse's corpsé back to this conntry. Her fifth hus band was Graham P. Esty, a rich Louisiana sugar planter, who fell n love with her when she was nurse in a Philadelphia hospital. After three years of happiness Esty _ was ruined by sugar speculation, and committed suicide in 1882, Then she went to Philadelphia, and her brother dying left her $50,000, and a year afterward she married Baxter, a lawyer and a friend of her brother. They moved to Omaha, but owing to Baxter's ill health came to Californiz six months ago and sottled in Pomona. Here Mrs, Baxter was attacked by disease and died in her fifty-first year. She was a beautiful woman to the last. [Their residence in this city, if they lived here at all, must have been very brief. In« quiries were made yesterday, but no one could be found who knew anything about tha couple.] —— THE INTOXI1CATION OLAUSE. Opinions of Attorneys on Judge Pows ers’ S8locumb Law Ruling. ’ A special telegram from Wayne, Neb., to Tue Bee last Saturday stated that Judge Powers decided that the $10 punishment for the intoxication clause of the Slocumb law is unconstitutional, on the ground that no men- tion of it was expressed in the title of the law. Judge Berka's attention was called to the telegram by a 1er reporter, and he was asked his opinion of the ruling, and what effect 1t would have in Omaha. “I could not express an opinion on the point of law,” replied the judge, ‘‘without looking the matter up, but if it were uncon- stitutional it would have no effect on Omaha. Our fines are not 1mposed under the Slocumb law, but a city ordinance, provision having been made in the charter for the city to make its own ordinance touching the matter of drunkenness. If the fines were collected under the Slocumb law they would have to bu“flld into the county, but under the oity ordinance they go into the city treasury. No, it wouldn’t affact us any if it were de- clared unconstitutional.” The tatle of the law which Judge Powors says is unconstitutional is as follows: “An act to regulate the license and sale of malt, spirituous and vinous liquors and to repeal chapter 53 of the code of criminal procedure of the general statutes of 1873, one titled, ‘License and sale of liquors,’ and to repeal an act entitled, ‘An act to amend seoy tion 575 of chapter 58 of tne criminal code,’ approved February 9, 1875, and_to m&enl Pt act entitled, ‘An act to regulate the issue o licenses for the sale of malt, vinous and spi 1tuous liquorn in the state of Nebraska,’ ap« proved February 25, 1875.” 4 General J. C. Cowin was asked his opinion of the decision, *'I take it,” smid he, ‘‘that Judge Powers basis his decision on the ab. sence of a clause ‘rrovldin for a penalty. I have a high regard for Judge Powers' opin. fon, but I am inclinad to think that the titla is broad enough to cover that. Still, T would not'::aruw give an opinion without looking i§ up. —— Trevellick's Last Leoture, Richard Trevellick delivered another of his interesting lecturds last night, at Washe ington hall, before a fair-sized audience, composed of laboring men and their families, Mr. Trevellick took the matter of usury as his subject, and spoke for an lour on the evil effects the unjust exactions of ocapital have upon laboring men. This lecture was the last of the throe which Mr, Trevellick was engaged to deliver here. — e Constitutional Catarch, No single disease nas entatled more suffering or hustened the breaking up of the constitutiol than Catarrh, The sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of hearing, the human yol he ind, — one or more, and sometimes all, yild to its de. structive intluence.
