These people must eat, sleep, be clothed and be supplied with the necessaries of life. The business men of Omaha should look to it sharply that they be early on the ground and pave the way for the great trade that must go somewhere. This territory is naturally tributary to Omaha, and she must not allow the channels of trade to be diverted. THE immediate improvement of the New York postoffice service is of more than local interest. As the great dis- tributing mail center of the couatry, the New York postoffice has vital con- cern for the people of all sections. Postmaster-General Wanamaker has thus early in his term recognized the necessity of adding to its facilities and making it a more prompt and eflicient agent in the distribution of the mails, The whole country is likely soon to feel the effects of the new arrangement, {vhich would indicate the advantage of having n business man at the head of a strictly business office. — Tuix: soldiers’ reunion at O'Neill will commence on the 19th and end on the 24th of August. This will bethe only re- nion north of the Platte this year,and it s expected to be very largely attended. Provision will be made for the free ac- gommodation of five thousand persons, and the exercises provided for the en- tortainment of the veterans and their friends will include addresses by promi- pent men from different parts of the country., The preparations made and contemplafed promise a mnost enjoyable season to those so fortunate as to par- ticipate in the O’Neill reunion. E———— Tne perpetuation of the national banking system after the national debt shall have been wiped out, will not bo the only important question discussed atthe next anunual convention of the Amcrican Banking association, in Sop- tember. The keen competition of the trust companies has already cut deeply into the national banking businoss, ‘Within the last few years the growth of these institutions has excited the at- tention of financial cireles. With more freedom of action than national banks, they have developed into dangerous rivals to national banks, and have ppened a wide fleld for the profitable investment of capital. Now that it is Announced that several new trust com- panies are to be started in Philadelphia and New York, which will allow inter- est on doposits subject to check, a revo- lution in banking methods is threat- gned, There can be little question that the people will be attracted by this #chemo and that it will be ramdly adopted by trust and savings companies all over the lund. Whether national nks will be obliged to follow this in- jovation in order to hold deposits, will question likely to be discussed 'I::I @reat care by the baukers’ associ- THR SITUATION IN MONTANA. Advices from Montana indicate that the democrats intend making a tre- miendons effort to get control or the new state. Having a majority of the mem- bers of the constitutional convention, it is sald to ho their plan to utilize this advantage in gerrymandering the legis- lative districts so that their party secure control of the legislature which will eleot two United States senators. This is tho big prize which the demo- crats of Montana are looking after, and they will not hesitate at any means to eocure it. Their majority in the co! stitutional convention is small, and it may be that there are a few among the number who will not consent to any trickery . to ob- tain an unworthy advantage, but un- doubtedly the party lash will bo vigors ously used to maintain an unbroken democratic front in the constitutional convention on so vital a mattor as that of making provision for ssouring the next logMlature, Nor will the demo- crats of the territory be allowed to want for outside assistdnce and advice, The democracy of the entire country will be at their back, and they will bave but to ask in order to receive. DBut they have among themselves a generous amount of both capital and zoul. Muany of the wealthiest men in the territory are democrats, some of whom are aspirants for the senate. They will use money freely, both for offecting a ger- rymander of the legislative districts and in the election for legislators, It is to be supposed that the ropubli- cans of Montana are fully awake to the situation, and understand perfectly the plans of the democrats so far as they have been indicated. It is not apparent, however, that they are equully alert and active, otherwise the democrats would not have been permitted to gain the advantage they have. With a united and harmonious party, Montana is ynquestionably republican. It was s0 only last November by a considerable majority. It will be so again if republicans will ‘‘got to- gother.” If thove isany existing dis- affection an efrnest cffort shofild be made at once to remove it. It {3 most desirable and necessary that Montana shall be kept from democratic control not only for the good of the new state, but for the influence she can exert in continuing the administration of tho genoral government in republican hands. The people of the territories which will come into statehood this year are indebted for that great privi- lege to the republican party, and that party has agreat claim upon their grat- itude and, support. As to three of them there is no uncertainty. The two Dalkotas and Washington are counted upon as securely vepublican. The doubt regarding Montana can be re- oved if her republicans will realize the great duty that is before them and go forward harmoniously and zealousy to its performance. S——— A COLORED LEADER'S COUNSEL. Ex-Senator Bruce addressed a letter full of good sense to the conference of men of his race just held at Jackson, Mississippi, to consider the condition of the colored people. Mr. Bruce sces in the condition of his race at this time, as contrasted with that of thirty years ago, evidence of substantial and hopeful progress. The intellectual, moral and material status of the present is superior to that of the past, and there is nothing in it to indicate race fuilure or a ten- dency to race deterioration. In order to maintain this advancement the race must cultivate industry, economy, thrift and integrity. Owing to its peculiar and exceptional condi- tion, the race must for a time depend upon state and national authorities for educational privileges, but this should not be the sole reliance. There shoutd be generously and cheerfully added thereto, says Mr. Bruce, *“Our own contributions towards supplying that satisfactory education for the youth of our race so vitally important to both in- dividual and race progress.” The im- pediment to advancement which results from a denial to the colored race, south, of political and civil rights is calmly dwelt upon, without resentment or hopelessness., Mr, Bruce believes in the ultimate &riamph of justice, he has faith in the sufiiciency of the constitution and laws of his country to secure to every citizen his rights, and he does not entertain a doubt that time will set all things right. “Our estate,” he observes, ‘‘though embarrassing, is still hopeful, and I am sure that abundant and permanent de- liverance will ultimately come to all who heretofore have descrved and faithfully wrought for it.” The judi- cious and conservative utterances of Mr. Bruce will very likely not find ac- ceptance with all the men of his race. There are radical and hot-headed lead- ers among them who will spurn the cpunsel to patiently and hopefully wait for time to bring in the reign of right and justice. Such men may have their uses in nasist- ing to work out the problom of the colored race. But they are not the safost guides for the vace, though thoy may do well in keeping uv its courage and spirit. It will be more secure in following tho counsel and leadership of men like Bruce, who better understand its character and condition, PROGIIBITION IN TWO STALES. To-day Pennsylvania will vote on the proposed amendment to the constitu- tion prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors in that state. The cam- paign on both sides had been very active up to the date of the *Johnstown ca'am- ty , but since then the people of Penn- sylvania have given little attention to anything of a public nature, besides the terrible loss of life und propoerty by the floods, and the duty of providing for the survivors and replacing what was swopt away. There was 10 doubt before this visitation that the vote of the state would be overwhelmingly against the proposed amendment, and it is now be- lieved, sather curiously as some may think, that an effect of the disaster will be to swell the adverse majority. There ave two good reasons for this viow, one that the prohibitionists have been un- able to eulist the public attention, and the other that people who befors fa- vored the amendment will now be less disposed to give up the revenuc to be THE OMAHA DATLY BEE: TUESDAY derived under a high license system from the sale of liquors. The defeat of the amendment by at least a hundred thousana majority, with a greatly re- duced vote, would not be at all surpris- Iing. but in any event the popular verdiot against this effort to engraft a prohibition amendmant on the constitu- tion of the state promises to be so0 large ns to conslitute n vigorous rebuke of its authors and ndvocates and An equally strong endorsement and vindieation of the policy of high license., ‘T'hat polic has been on trial in Pennsylvania for something over n year, and the excel- lent results from it in the larger cities have supplied a most convinoing argu- ment against resorting to a policy which has failed of its purpose in aevery state where it has been adopted. Vghen to- day closes Pennsylvania will have taken a place in the list of states which during the last two or.threo years have rojected prohibitory constitutional amendmen ts. On Thursday, Rhode Island will sottle tho question whether the amendment she adopted in 1886 shall remain, It is not questionable that prohibition has failed in that state, In the principal city of the state, Providence, the number of places where liquor is sold is larger thaa under hign license, and the same is true of nearly every town in Rhode Island with any considerable manufacturing population. The best proof of the failure of prohibition in the state is in the fact thatso large & pro- portion of the people demanded its re- peal that after nearly three years’ trial the legisiature yielded and resubmitted the question, ‘Tho result in Rhode Island is not so clearly foroshadowed as in Pennsylvanin, but the most trusts worthy advices indicate the abrogation of the amendment. The experience of Rhode Istand with prohibition has shown clearly that nothing short of a general sentiment in favor of the policy can secure its enforcement in anything like a satisfactory manneg, and in no state having prohibition is the senti- ment in support of it general. The ab- rogation of the amendmeut in Rhode Island would be even more Ssignificant than the defeat of the proposed amend~ ment in Pennsylvania. E———— LEADING stock men are in favor of inaugurating aseries of prize stock ex- hibitions in Omaha. A fat stock show should by all means be encouraged. It would be sure to attract the intorest of cattle breeders throughout this and neighboring states and would lead to beneficial results, Nebraska is gradu- ally becoming a great cattle breeding state, and its fine stock will compare fa- vorably with any in the country. Ex- clusive fine stock exhibitions take piace annually in the older states and the dis- plays made annually by the farmers of Ohio, Illinois, New York,Massachusetts and elsewhere have won world-renowned reputations. Such a project should no longer be put off in Nebraska and a characteristic exhibition of our fine cat- tle would fix our place permantly among the great cattle breeding states. ———— How much longer are our capitalists and business men going to wait before thev take the lead at the front of the procession in pushing Omaha forward? STATHE PRESS COMMENT. “Why not sowa hittle hemp this spring,’ queries the Keya Paha Pross, “'and see what kind of a fibre our soil will produce? If it is a success, while it may not succeed in break- ing up the twine trust, it would have a salu- tary effect upon the Keya Paha county cattle trust.” The Fremont Tribune puts the heading “Glad to Know It over the following: *‘W. H. Michael, Senator Manderson's clerk of the senate printing committoe, has written a letter to Tae BEr to correct some state- ments made that Michacl’s brother, who has been appointed to a position in the govern- ment printing office, secured the position through the influence of Senator Manderson. The letter of explanation and denial is very opportune, and relieves Senator Manderson of an odium he could not afford to carry. The appointment of W. H. Michael is a big enough blunder for any official to father.’ All Nebraska should shout, “Give us the corn tassel,” when asked to vote on the flower to be elevated to vhe proud position of the national emblem, says the Columbus Tel- egram, Says the Stromsburg Headlight: *‘The beavy firing at General Van Wyck, has ceased for some months, and only an occa- sional picket. gun, from some half-asleep, who was two years behind, has been heard for sundry moons. But the otber day, some fellow stole a pair of horses from the gen- eral, and that brought the senator's name into print, and it was the signal for an at- tack all along the line. Bvery ring organ howled that ‘old crazy horse’ was in the saddle and wanted to be governor next year; and in the same breath screamed that he was dead. When we remember how often they have buried him, it scems as though they are still making a terrible noise over a dead carcas. Is it pbssible that the ghosts of mur- dered men come back to haunt them, while their soul's marching on? The old senator will probably dover ask the citizens of Ne- brasia to support him again, but whenever his name appears in print, they go into spasms, and tremble through and through, as old Virginia did before silent old John Brown,” -~ Edelweiss.

P Srreer, : LINcoLy, June 17, The couneil Investigating committee ro- sumed its work this morning at 10 o'clook. As a preliminary Lawyer Wheedon, counsel for Doan and Cooper, and Councilman Bush - nell indulged in a little tilt, Though somo- what caustic, they smoked the pipe of peace after adjournment and dubbed it a lLittle pleasantry, During the bouy, however, it developed that the committee is sitting as a grand jury rathor than a trial jury, dovelop- ing evidenco unon which to base an action providing enough is found., After the first witness had beon examined, Mr. Wheedon stated that he was ready to put on witnesses A8 800D a8 the proscsution rested, but that he first desired that it mako its case, Strode responded that the prosecution had morp tostimony which could be used in rebuttal. Whoedon thought it proper for him to make his case while ho was at it, and so stated. Strode again retorted that the prosecution had a good, prima facle case, and Bushnell chipped in with the statement that the com- mittoe was simply hearing ovidenco and would take it as it came, and when it got through would probably make a finding of facts, Thomas Doyle, a laborer, was first sworn, He atated that he superintended the masons on Miller's sower contract; that the inspec- tor instructed the “mixors’ to use two sacks of sand to pne of coment; that this was doue while the inspector was near, but when he was away they usod from seven toten of sand to one of coment; that, also, when the inspector was away “‘bats” were used in the ‘walls 1nstoad of whole bricks. On cross- examination the witniess statod that he had not squealed because he did not wish to get fired from his job, for the reason that on sottling with him thoy paid him 20 cents an hour for his work. Ex-Councilman Burks then answered to Judge Mason’s catechism for the defense. He told about the bond deal, dwelling upon the dificulty the city had in placing the bonds and of the contract made with Clark and Lewis & Lewis. These partios would not havethe mtersection bonds uniess they could have the district bonds also. Witness could not remember of but one contract. Dealers were to sell the bonds at par and recoive 2 per cent commission. The charter_prohib- itea selling at less than par. Witness admitted, however, that if premiums were received they should have been accounted for, but no one expccted a promium, and all were therefore satisfied with par. Judge Masongannounced that he would prove at the pnxer time that 8100,000 of tho intersection bonds were sold by these agents for $00,000, but that they accounted to the city for the par ¥alue of the same. Ex-Councilman Billingsley was next sworn. He stated that,ho was chairman of the finance committee whgn tho bond deal was made, and detailed the effort that had been made to place the bouds. The witness also stated that Lincoin’s inflebtedness in 1888 was about. 30 per cent of tirt assessed valuation; that in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hamp- shire, whero most of western municipal bonds were sold savings banks could not in- vest in them if tho assessed valuations ran over 5 per cent; but, explaining, he said that the high proportion was probably due to the lax judgment of the assessor. He further stated that the city was glad to be able to sell the bonds, and that the agents ought to account to the city on the sales, if they had not, Witness admitted that Still Bros. and others had criticised the transaction, saying that they would have been glad to have had the contract and finurnntee a premium, but ample notice had been given and they were mum when time was money. Courtney asked the witness to give his opinion as to the liability of Clark & Lewis to the city for the amount received above par on the sale of the bonds, and he retorted sharply but laughingly that it was in evi- dence that his opinion wa$ worth 350 in such matters, and that he would have to have his fee before giving his answer. Billingsley and Courtney indulged in two or three sharp speeches during the morning, The former, however, admitted that some of the acts of the council in the bond deal might be criticised, but that he thought then and thinks now that they were doing the best thing posssble for the city. He was unshaken in cross-examination. Joe Burns was recalled, but the old war horse remained unshaken and the record of his firsy story still blackens the records. Councilman Dean was called to the stand first this afternoon. He put in a denial, general and collective; pronounced the charges against him base fabrications, having originated in a diseased brain. He put the best foot forcmost in_defense. Nothing new, how- cver, was developed, His testimony was confined to the charges as enlarged upon from time to time. & o Grau Ensign was called and’verified the story as told by Doan, Fraas also testified thut the naughtiness alleged was the result of imagination, F. F. Sholes, Cooper's bookkeeper, took the stand to show that the discounts, the bot- tom of much of the pending muss, should not have been allowed. He took up the discounts, under the direction of Lawyer Wheedon, one by one, and by glib figuring actually developed that Cooper had made very gener- ous discounts to the city, rauging from 5 to 75 per cent, and in the face of list prices, ex- perts and wholesale dealers vorily made & showing that they did not know the differ- ence between a stop-cock and a steam-cock. His testimony on the whole was very funny, unique and original, if not convincing, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, But the shallowness of the councilmanic | investigation is now becoming apparent. The committee is getting sleevy, and the ‘‘mare's nest!’ bids fair to go to pleces. A person with half an eye can seo that the whole thing is fast becoming a great blow about .| nothing, unless, perchance, it is the bond deal, which will probably gather sowe of the lost shekels to the bosow of the fathers and the city’s spacious vaults. The investigation will be continued to- morrow; indeed, it is said that it will be continued without unnecessary intermission until the end, e — Farmer Howe op School Matters. Farmer Howe, of Auburn, is in Lincoln to-day.

DRUN Sullivan’s Friends Think He H Taken to the Bottle Again. New Yorg, June 17.—[Special Telegram to Tug Bee.]--“Is Sullivan drunk again?” was the great question that agitated pug- ilistic circles yesterday. While many be- lieved the story only too true, others were inclined to dscredit the story entirely. Among the latter was James Walkely, one of his backers in the forthcoming fight with Kilrain, “I know nothing of Sullivan’s break,” he said last cvening, “‘except what I have seen in the papers. 1do not believe the roport. All I can say is, if he has gone_back to the bottle we shall let him go 10 New Orieans and expect to see him licked like a chump, It is too late for his backers to ‘retreat now. The $10,000 18 up, and we can make nothing by defauit at this time, and there is always a chanco to win, even with odds greatly against one. If we find John is really off we shall take Lhim away from Muldoon’s, but I do not know where we can send him to finish his training,’ It has been suggested that there is one way for Sullivan’s backers to save them- selves and that is by failing to agreo on a referee, Tho sports whoare behind Kilrain —Frank Stevenson, Prof, Mike Donovan and 8 host of others—feel sure that Sullivan, dis- gusted with his efforts to get into fighting condition with nothing to build on, had let his passion for drink get the upver hand of him. Ed Holske, the sport who crossed the water with Sullivan two years ago and who has said all along there will be no fight, felt sure the report of Sullivan’s debauch was correct.

DETROIT, June 18, 1880, vty =~ S TANEN PORT-AU-PRINCE NOT TAKEN, Rippolyte Has the City Surrounded, But Has Not kintered, New York, June 17,—|Special Telogram to Tne Bee.]—The stovy denying the report that Hippolyte, the Haytion insurgent gon. oral, had captured Port-au-Prince, was con-~ firmed today by Johannes Hansteadt, rop- resentauve of Hippolyte in 1this city. Han- steadt said at the time the report of tho cap- ture of Port-au-Prince was received at this city'via London he knew it was untrue, as ho had been kept posted as to tho movements of his chief, 13esides this, he said that Hippo- yLe was 100 cautious a man to attempt to take the city by storm « from one side, and that while he knows Hippolyte 18 with his army within a few miles of Port-au-Prince, ho has not made any attempt to enter or take the city, nor any domonstrations againstit. A movement, however, is now on fout that will probably result m either Port-au-Princo falling into the hands of the northern soldiers or their recewving a bloody repulse. Mr. Hansteadt is anxiously awaiting the arrival of tho steamer ‘Sam ginaw with autbentic news of the situation, as ho understands that Hippolyto is working his troops through the Yoll country to the west and south of Port-au- Prince, with the intention of covering the city on all sides where an approach can be made by land. Mr. Hansteudt roceived two cablegrams to-day, one from his correspon- dent at Port Plato, and the other from his partner, Mr, Jiminez, at Cape Haytien, Both cablegrams confirmed the report that every- thing_ was quict, and said nothing of Hippo- lyte having occupied Port-au-Prince. Mr. Hansteadt said, however, he was in receipt of authentic information that Legitime is in a_very weak-kneed condition and desires to abdicate, but is prevented from doing so by his_generals. Nothing could be learned from the attaches of the Haytien consulate in this city further than that the declaration that the dispatch with bunting, embloms and decoratiom, and many people are alroady here to attent the tiromen's tournament, which ‘commences tol morrow with a grand _parade, and sflvmlm of wolcome Wednesday, Thore will be s crack baso ball game on Friday.
