THE mothers of the school children will help to defent the best laid plans .of mice and politicians at the coming school board election. MEN with ugly records should prac- tice modesty and remain in obscurity. General Tucker’s career is a trifle too rank for the most charitable nostrils. ALL the wheezy old ward workers are wheeling into line at the call of the caucus with the expectation of being se- lected as delegates to the school board convention. THE Union Pacific has increased the number of its trains between Omaha and South Omaha, which demonstrates that the suburban sérvice is profitable and growing in favor. — EVERY Jcitizen who desires to keep our public schools out of politics should be on hand to-night to take action in placing a non-partisan school board « ticket in the field. % e | THE quickened movement of grain from the interior of the state to market is influencing local activity in the eie- “vators and railroads and bids fair to continue until late in the summer. OVER a month ago the railroad man- ~agers promised to submit the union depot proposition in three weeks. And Yot there is not the slightest indication that they will fulfil their pledges. — THE county commissioners apparent- 1y have come to the conclusion that dis- cretion is the better partof valor, and are trying to back outof the proposed deal to transfer the ownership of the county poor farm, CONGRESSMEN are constantly com- plaining of the burdens of office, the exactions of theil constituents and the low salary paid. The country has yet to hear of one resigning to escape these Jtrials and tribulations. —e A NON-PARTISAN school board ticket outside of . the party machine will .be placed iv nomination to-night. “Clean, intelligent and capable candi- “ddtes, nominated on such a ticket, are sure of an election, no matter what the packed caucuses may do. - — ARBITRATION 18' the best means of settling the plumbers’ striike. Let the .anasters and journeymen submit their _disputes to a disinterested committee and abide by the result. While both rstand on their dignity, a satisfactory agreement is impossible. E—— CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONER RoosEVELT declares his intention of ‘ venforcing the civil gervice laws with- out the least reference to the politics of the applicant. This is doubtless in uc- cord with the spirit and letter of the law. The trouble is that civil service reform is confined to clerks and bureau subordinatos, SECRETARY BLAINE is nothing if not Rallant. He does not propose to have American ladies traveling in France shut up in deep, dark dungeous by dnsulting police officials because of dif- foerences with Menton dressmakers. Minister Reid has been instructed to look into the outrage, and France must humbly apologize. * e——————— Tur Farmers’ alliance will cut a wide swath in the politics of Dakota. Poli- ticians who ignore .the strength and purpose of that organization will dis- cover their mistake when the returns dome in. Dakota is essentially sgri- oultural, and the wants and interests of the farmers should be carefully con- sidered and guarded at the threshold of statehood. ——— BosTON pays sixty-five cents per lamp per night for its electric light service. vidence pays forty-four, Springfield nty-three, New York forty, Phila- dolphia forty-seven. While Chicago pays only tifteen, due to the fact that the city superintends its own electric light system. There isa significance 4n these figures which will not be lost ‘;‘“fl contemplating the building and controling of their own systews of A TREATY CONCLUDED. ‘Washington” advices roport that the sccretary of state has been notiffed of the conclusion of a treaty at Berlin relative to Samoa. Adcording to the statement the result of the confarence is a very complete triumph of the American demands. This was fore- shadowed in dispatches of last week, which represented that at that time about everything the American com- mssioners had asked for had been con- ceded, and that the only chance of seri- ous dispute would be over the de- mand of Germany for indemuity from the Samoans for the killing and mutilation of German sailors. It would appear that this matter had been disposed of without any difficulty. The vital points in the American con- tention were that the autonomy of Samoa should be restored and main- tained, and that the nations having in- terests there should be on a perfect equality as to the enjoyment of rights in the islands. There were iucidental requirements, but these were the prin- cipal points which the American com- missioners were instructed to demand and insist upon. They involved the ne- cessity of Germany agreeing to the res- toration of the government which it had deposed and a surrender of rights which it had usurped. There can be no question that there was a very strong case against Germany, the con- duct of that power in Samoa showing clearly a design to bring the islands absolutely under German control, and it is by no means incredible that Bis- marck, knowing the indefensible char- acter of the policy that had been pur- sued, decided to dicuss the American demands merely as a formality and then concede them, hoping, per- haps, only to be indemnitied for losses claimed to have resulted from the aggressions of the natives. It is not reported whether even this was accorded Germany, and indeed it is hardly to be supposed it would be, sim- ply upon the representations of that government, and without a thorough in- vestigation. There has been some criticism of the course of the United States in having anything to do with the question of who should rule in Samoa, the contention being that it was a matter which this government, to be consistent with its principles, should have left to be determined by the Sa- moans, there being two parties, or factions, in the island. There is unguestionably some merit in this view, but it loses sight of the fact thatin order to get rid ot the dominant influ- ence of Germany in Samoan affaics it is necessary that those whom German in- terests have favored shall give place to those whom they have antagonized. To have remitted the selection of a ruler to the native population would undoubt- edly have been to continue, and per- haps increase, the chaotic political con- dition in the islands, with the ultimate result, very likely, of requiring the in- tercession of the three powers to bring about order and establish the govern- ment. The success of the United States in this matter, even though it should be found when the agreement is made public to be less complete than now ap- pears, is due to the obvious fairness and justice of its principal demands and the indefensible policy of Germany. The practical benefits to this country may not be of such great importance as has been assumed, but a principle has been sustained worth all that the effort has cost, and the United States will stand better before the world for having with firmness and dignity 1nsisted upon hav- its rights recognized and respected. INFLOW OF ENGLISH CAPITAL. There are indications that an unusu- ally large amount of English capital is seeking investment in this country. There appears to be no doubt that some of it has found its way into the brewing interest, which may be accepted as an evidence of the profitableness of beer manufacture, but this foreign capital is not being confined to any:one channel. 1t is seeking anything and everything which promises to yield a fair rate of interest, and doubtless even specula- tive enterprises do not fail to re- ceive consideration. The representative of a syndicate of English capitalists is quoted as saying that there never was atime when there was so much Eng- lish capital waiting for investment, the owners of which are willing to invest in any American enterprise which will insure a fair rate of interest. His mis- sion to this country is to look up such investments, and there are- doubtless many others engaged in a like service. This is another evidence of the great prosperity England is baying in all her industries. Her iron trade has not been as active before in many years as it is at pres- ent, and lier manufacturers are realiz- ing prices that pay a much better profit than the American manufacturers ure getting, unless it be those at the south. "hb activity in this branch of industry, of course, is most fuvorable upon the coal trade, which isu source of large prosperity. The important industry of ship buitding is also remarkably active, and, in short, England is enjoying ex- ceptional industrial prosperity, which is giving steady and remunerative employ- ment to labor, and adding rapidly to the nation’s wealth, The accumulation of capital beyond what home enterprises can profitably employ, is seeking an outlet, aud it appears that there is n disposition to place a liberal share of it in the United States. Doubtless opportunities for invest- ment will be found, but the circum- stances in this country at present are not altogether favorable to the em- ployment of a very great amount of foreign capital in regulsr and legit- imate business euterprises. ‘I'heve is a large amount of idle capital in this country, due te a condition of affairs, the reverse of that existing in Eng- land, with whick the foreigp eapital must compete at some disadvantage, so far as legitimate en- terprises are concerned. But projocts of & speculative nature may be found or created to absorb generonsly thig Fng- lish capital, if ite owners are disposed to venture, and it wili not be surprising if such projecis are devologed as a von- e sequence of thie inflow of’ forelgn capi- tal. There is in the relative industrinl and commercial conditions of England and the United Statesat this time much suggestive material for the consider- ation of economists and statesmen, and it should receive the careful attention of those who, a few months hence, will renew the discussion of our fiscal policy. —— TrE people of the Pacific coast are dissatisficd with the seal industry as now conducted in Alaska. The sena- torial committee taking testimony on our relations with Canada has been told by nearly every disinterested witness that the monopoly enjoyed by the pow- erful Alaska company is doing more harm to American interests than all the poaching committed in the Behring sea by the British. In view of the international prominence which the sealing question has al ready assumed, we anticipate that the re- lation of the Alaska Seal company to the United States government will be given wide publicity. The farming out of the exclusive right to take seals, to the Alaska Seal company, is a gross in- justice to the people of this country. For a comparatively small bonus con- gress has, in the face of public protest, ratified contracts with the Alaska Seal company by which that concern is reap- ing millions of dolars annually by vir- tue of its monopoly. It is therefore to be hoped that in the investigation growing out of the alleged rights of the British to take seals in the Behring sea, public sentiment will be so aroused as to force congress to annul, as soon as possible, the powers excised by the Alaska Seal company. Whatever may be the outcome of the dispute between America and England, one thing is clear, our government should take charge of the seal fisheries and permit citizens of this country without distine- tion to engage in the Alaska sealing 1n- dustry if they so choose. THE addresses with which ministers to foreign courts accompany the presen- tation of their credentials are usually of the most formal and commonplace character. Mr. Thomas, minister to Sweden and Norway, made something of a departure in presenting his cre- dentials to King Oscar. He entertained his majosty with an eloquent address, in which he paid a merited compliment to the Scandinavian population of the United States. *“No people in the world,” said he, “receive a warmer wel- come on our shores, none make better citizens of our republic than® the sons and daughters of the lofty north, They bring with them the honesty and in- dustry, the patience and fortitude, the hope and valor, the love of _truth and fear of God, that have ever distin- guished the Scandinavian and illumi- nate the pages of history.” Tt was a hearty, generous and just tribute to a people who are among the most useful, loyal and worthy of American citizens. THE inquiry into live stock rates on Chicago railroads brings into promi- nence the supreme selfishuess of that city. Although the railroads have in every possible way catered to her de- sires to control the products of the west she is constantly clamoring for addi- tional favors. She would place every city in the west under her heel and crush out every commercial competitor. Her packers say that the receipts of live hogs are not sufficient by half to keep the packeries running, and they de- mand that the rates on dressed meat be raised so that stock will have to be shipped direct to that city. None are 80 blind as those who will not see. The " supremacy of Chicago as the porkopolis of the countryis on the wane, and she cannot regain her vantage ground by any possible discrimination which the railroads can impose. The packing center of the country has moved to the Missouri valley. It is there to stay, und the combinations and lamentations of Chicago can not prevail against it. THE pressing necessity of gathering the crops in Hayti, for which the sol- diers are required, appears to be a fuc- tor that is having an important influ- ence in the direction of settling the in- surrection. But apart from this, trust- worthy advices show that Hippolyte has the upper hand, with every probability favorable to his bringing the conflict to a speedy termination. A good deal may depend, however, upon how he shall treat the possible demands of his sol- diers, who are reported to be manifest- ing a desire for rapine aud plunder. Treachery is a condition to be expected at uany time among the Haytians, It seems probable that the state depart- ment 15 advised that the insurreotion in the black republic is about to end, and under circumstances that will not re- quire the sending of the proposed com- mission, OMAHA hus an abundance of capital. There are millions of idle money in her bani vaults. But Omaha needs public spirited capitalists who are willing to reinvest their meansin commercial and industrial enterprises that will afford employment to wage-workers and sup- ply the arteries of trade with a vitaliz- ing current. Look at Sioux City and Denver. They do not possess half the rcsources of which Omaha can boast. Their tributary commercial territory is nct half as extensive. But their men of means are liberal and ‘wide awake. They do not fold their nands and wait for foreign capital 10 insugurate great enterprises.

The average German iaborer does not ex- pend more tuan $15 every year in clothes. Common lab orers receive from 50 cents to $1 per day; masons from £1 to $1.50; carpenters the same; plasterers, $1; roofers, $1; paint- ers, §1; hod-carriers and carters, 72 cents; male mill operatives, 75 cents or $1; and blacksmiths, $1. Every workman earning $75 per year must pay annually to the state 12 marks, or §3. A mass meeting ‘was held in Glasgow the other day in aid a{ the persecuted tenants in Falearragh, Irclabd.

A Burlington Fast Freight and Switch Bagine Collide. FIREMAN P. M. CROSS KILLED. While Imprisoned in the Wreck Hot Stoam Fills His Lungs—A Phy- sician's Skeleton — The Herold Oase. LINCOLN BURBAU OF T OvAma Ban, 1020 P Streer, LixooLy, May 80, Just before 12 o'clock. last night, a fast freight train on the Burlington railway col- lided with a switch engine in the company’s lower yards. The engines came together with terrific fores, throwing a number of the cars of the incoming tramn off the track, and the firoman, P. M. Cross, was almost instantly killed. Gngineer Sheeley jumped at the first signal of danger, or, doubtless, he, too, would have met with a like ter- rible death. The accident occurred on J street, exactly on the Union Pacific crossing. Train No. 26, running be- tween Chicago and Denver, is a fast freight. It came in last night in charge of Conductor D. D. Parkes, and rolled into the yards at a speed of eight to ten miles por Nour, The engiucer and fireman, however, wero strangers in the yards. ‘This was thoir first night on the T.incoln-Hastings run. Trains were supposed to stop at the crossing, but this one did not, because the engineer was not aware of its location and evidently mis- understood the signification of the lights, other wise there would be a chance for crim- inal carlessuess to attach. Switch engine, No. 216, was moving toward the incoming train, and the engineer admits that he knew that it was coming, but suid he thought there was plenty of time to get out of its way, and there would have been had it not made its usual stop at the crossing. This, however, was not doue, owing, it is urged, to the fact that the new men were unacquainted with thoir boarings. When first seen by them tho switch engine was some distance away, The rapid drive, however, brought the two en- kines upon ach othor, and Kngineer Shoeloy says he told his fireman to jump, as soon as he saw @& colision was inevitable, whistled for brakes, reversed his en- gine, held the throttle for a moment and then swung himself between the cab and tender, and jumped, escaping with a sprained ankle, The fireman delayed too long and the engines came together with a crash that was heard all over the yards, The tender of No. 216 was mashed in, but otherwiss the engine was injured very' little. The front of No. 87 was badly demolished, and the tender was driven into'the front of 'the car in the rear. Poor Cross was imprisoned by the en- gme and tender coming togother. “His left leg was crushed from the thigh down. His right leg and an arm were also crushed and broken, and while held in the vice-like grip of the cars the hot steam poured into his face, filhug his lungs. Cross lived, however, until released from his posi- tion, when death came and ended all, Cross had been with the company o little overayear. He leaves a wife and threo childred. He was about thirty-five years of age, and lived at KKearney. s remains are in the hands of Undertaker Roberts, and at the elose of the inquest will be taken 1o Kearney for burial. Coroner Shoemaker impaneled the jury this morning which met aud viewed the body and adjourned until to- morrow evening at 7 o'clock to get the wit- nesses together and properly arrange for taking testimony. The Notorious Herold Failure, The failure of Christamn G. Herold, a clothing merchant of this city, in the winter of 1884-5, and the complications growing out of his failure, are no doubt tresh in the minds of many of ourreaders. New interest nas been added to that matter by a recent decision of Judge Chapman, in a case tried before him fome months since, and which ‘was decided at the last tcrm of court. It will be remembered that shortly after Herold's failure rumors became rifo of a kigantic conspiracy on the part of Herold and others to defraud his creditors, ‘Ihese rumors implicated Dr. O. H. Dogge, a well known German physician of this city, and it was charged that he had instigated and assisted in the fraud and had received large sums of money from Herold to save from his creditors. The fact that Heroid had confessed judgment in the county court in Dogge’s favor to the amount of §5,000, and that Dogge had received his monoy on tho same and had shortly after gone to Kurope, seemed to substautiate the rumors, In tho fall of 1885 complant was made against Herold, and he was put under bonds to the district court to answer the charge of de- frauding his creditors. Dr. Dogge received information of the charges made against him in connection with Herold, and returned to this city in the fall and was ulso arrested and bound over to answer the charge of accessory. The case of Herold was tried first and it was shown that he had received and secreted a large amount of goods. He was found guilty and sentenced to a term in the penitentiury. Dr. Dogge was tried at the same term of court for complic- ity in Herold’s offense, and after a pro- tracted trial was found not guilty. Almost immediately after the acquittal the doctor's wifo purchased property on the corner of “Tenth and P streets, and the doctor opened a hospital there. Not satisfied with the decision of the jury, a large number of creditors of Herold began proceedings by a creditors’ bill against Herold and Dogge and wife, to subject this property to their claims. The case was hotly contested, and occupied much time in 1ts trial, withesses being brought here from Wisconsin by Dr. Dogge. After all the testimony was in on both sides, the plamtiff obtained a lease to reopen the case and take depositions of wit- nesses in Wisconsin. Voluminous deposi- tions were tuken and the case was finally submitted to Judge Chapman, who, 1 De- cember, 1857, decided in fuvor of the plain- tiffs. An appeal was atonce taken by the defendants to the supreme court, where the case was Grgued last fall and where it is still penaing. During the pendency of this suit & suit was begun by Messrs, Billings & ‘Woodward agaiost C. G. Herold and his wife to secure the foreclosure of & WOrtgage upon Herold's: homestead. This morigago was given to Christian Shaefer, and by him as- signed to Dr. Dogge, about the time of FHer- old’s failure, and by Dogge assigned to ‘Blll- ings & Woodward. Shortly after this suit was pogun the plaintifi’'s were surprised to have the note and raorigago turn up in the hands of the First National bank of Platte- mouth, who claimed to huve purchased 1t of Herold, I'ne Herolds answered by admit- ting the execution of the note and the mort gage, averring that iv was part und parcel ot the fraud attempted to be sperpetrated upon the creditors of Herold, and that all the money wused in ‘the traps- action was C. G. Herola's, This same note and mortgage figured extensively in the original case arainst Dr. Dogge and in the suit of the creditors, and the Herold's all testified that it wasfraudulent. The case of Billings & Woodward was consolidated with I Neil & Co. vs Herold, and the de- cision by Judge Chapman determined bath cases. The judge made elaborate findings of fact, of which the following is a brief synop- 881 First, That the claim of William Herold on u wmortgage was a first lien on the premises. 4 Second, That the nove and mortgage given to Christian Shaefer was issued without fraud as between the parties to the sutt, and that Shaofer paid 2,600 w Herold, and that it is wholly due and unpaid. T'hird, ‘I'hat O. H. Dogge subsequently be- came owner of said nole and mortgage by indorsement, before due to him, for a yalu- able consideration, and the same was cither 108t or stolen from bim, aud wrongfully into the hauds of Annie K. Herold or C. G. Herold without any consideration being paid therefo Tourth, That the Firsy National bank, of Plattsiouth, is not the owner of said nowe and mortgage, and took the same under sus- picious circumstances; that the wutilated and soiled appeatance bf the and mort- gage und tho fact that it was in Lhe custody of tho maker; that they were notoriously insolvent wad other circumstances under which 1¢ was pledged to the bank put the babk on inquiry as to whether C.
