NOT to be outdone by Chicago’s Cro- nin mystery, St. Louis has a sensational murder of her own and is correspond- ingly happy. COLORADO farmers feel highly elated over their crop prospects this seuson. Nevertheless, if they need any corn they will be obliged to call on Nebraska. THr people of Colorado are complain- ing that the last legislature spent twenty thousand dollars for stationery alone. It is quite evident that the seventy-five members of that body did not make laws for the state for the ben- efit of their health. IrF Mg. FRED NYE wants any further advertising for his paper in the only medium that reaches all the people of Omaha and the section tributary, he will find accommodating clerks to re- ceive his orders and money in the counting room of THE BEE. ONE thousand and nine building per- mits were issued during the first six months of tho year, representing a value of buildings finished or under construc- tion of two and oné-quarter millions of dollars. Such an exhibit proves conclu- sively thot Gmaha is not at o standstill. THE governors of Mississippi and Louisiana have issued proclamations to prevent the Sullivan-Kilrain fight from taking place within their respective states. Chivalrous southerners are not likely, however, to gquarantine against the coming exciting match as if it were the yellow fever SCIENTISTS are at present engaged in heated discussions in New York to show that the murderer, Kemmler, sentenced to death, can not be killed by electr ity. Nevertheless, the deadly elcctric light wires in that civy manage to dis- patch one or more victims a month, despite the opposition of theorists. KANsAs CiTy offers as an attraction for the summer the spectacular repre- sentation of the “*Last Days of Pompeii.” Omaha still holds fresh in memory the *‘Siege of Sebastopol,” which wouid have been an unqualified success if the contractors of the spectacle had carri out their agreement as made with the projectors of the enterprise. : MicHIGAN carries off the palm of having indulged in the longest legisla- tive session of the year. [t begzan on the first Wednesday in Jannary and ad- journed on the last Wednesday in Juune. It managed to pass a good muny unsat- isfactory measuves and to add to the ‘burden of taxation in that state.« No re- grets were expressed over its ad journ- ment, —— Tne Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley has wisely determined to im- prove its local service on the Hastings branch oy the addition of two trains daily. This will give the people living on that line us far as York the oppor- tunity to make daily visits to the me- tropolis, and no doubt the patrons of the road will appreciate this accommo- dation. THE yalue of a substantial fireproof wall in beating back a great sheot of flame was ably demonstrated in Chicago a day or two ago in the burning of the Barton block. A dozen or more fire en- gines were throwing rivers of water into the fiery furnace, but the flames were not checked in tho least until they met this solid wall of fireproof tile, which did more to subdue the counfla- gration than the united efiorts of Chi- cago’s fire dopartment. Em————— THE approval of the bonds of the pav- ing contractors by the board of public works practically settles tho vexed ques- tion as to who will do the paving of the streets this season. It is immaterial to the people of Omaha whether the con- tracts be sublet or not, so long as the work be done properly according to the specifications, That there has been fraud and crookedness in paving and sewer construction is notorious, and in- compotont inspectors are chiefly respon- sible for this. It is out of tire question to expect contractors on public works to live up to specitications of the board of publiec works if the inspectors can be tampered with or lack the ability to de- teot inforior materials and work, A PROPER REBUKE. Judge Wakeley is to be heartily com- mended for the rebuke he administered to certain lawyers for introducing in a divorce case mattor which the judge declared ought to have subjoctad the author to arrest for sending obscene literature through the mails. “This court,” said Judge Wakeley, “certainly ought to be kept as pure in character as the United States mails, and I have no patience with attorneys who svek to contaminate it by filing petitions that are filled with obscene literature.” There 18 a class of lawyers, far too numerous in the profession, who seem to revel in the vulgarity and obscenity which can be extracted from most divorce suits, and who, if pormitted,will spread ever nauseating detail bafore court and pub- lic when vhere is not the slightest ne- cessity for doing so0 in the interest of clients, Unfortunately, most judges, from a disposition to givo attorneys the lavrgest possible (atitude, tolerate this abuse, though their own sensibilities may be rudely shocked and they may be conscious that their court is thus made the chan- del for the aissemination of inde- oent and immoral matter that cannot fail to bo more or less widely injurious. The celebrated divores cases that can be called to mind, of which that of Car- ter against Cartor, in Chicago, was the most recent, undoubtedly had as malign an influence upon public morals as all the distinctly obscene literature ever printed. It is doubtloss true that a large part of the testimony introduced in these cases was nocessary and una- voidable, but it cannot be successfully contended that all of it was, or that the most revolting portions might not have been suppressed, and it is true of nearly or quite all such cuses which involve gross immorality that the courts allow too great a latitude to attorneys. It may be too much to hope that the judiciary gensrally will exer- cise its authority to' rewedy this, and keep the disgusting disclosures of di- vorce suits within some limitations that would show a little regard for de- cency and the public morals, but neves theless the example of Judge Wakeley merits attention and commendation. We may be sure that at least in his court decency will suffer no more of- fense than circumstances reuder un- avoidable. THERE MUST BE NO RELAPSE. The New York Sun, discussing the western railroad situation, says there must be no relapse into rascalit, The early promise of the inter-state com- merce railway association, formed with the avowed purpose to obey -the intor- state commeres law, to maintain stabil- ity of rates, and to sccure among the railroads in the association an equitable division of business, was most favorable to the realization of these condition As the Sun says, there was abundant and gratifying evidence of the beneficial working of the ar- rangement, rates became stable, the administration of the railroad proper- ties improved, public confidence was in 8 measure restored, and the general traffic movement of the country beeame natural and regular, *‘The condition of affairs was entirely wholosome; hon- ost and straightforward methodsof busi- ness were in ths sscendant, and the reign of rascality, of private feuds, and of personal greed and vapacity appeared to be at an end.” Inte this hopeful and propi- tious situation was suddenly thrust the Chicago & Alton compli- cation. That company had entered the association most reluctantly, and doubt- less never had any genuine sympathy with the agreement. In order to se- cure its acquiescence the association consented to modifications of the original terms of the agreement, which left a loophole that has enabled the Alton to regain its independence with- out the least difiiculty or responsibility. When the association, at the instance of the obstinate company, inserted in the compact the provision that, not- withstanding the decision of the arbi- trators, the company claiming the right to make any particular rate may, after such ‘decision, make such a rate on ten days’ notice, the agreement was ren- dered little better than a rope of sand and the Alton obtained an avenue of es- cape which i1 has since improved. When its application to be allowed to make a reduced lumber rate between Chicago and the Missouri river was re- fused it simply gave the required notice and the association was Powerless to en- forco its decrece. Then came up the question of a division of live stock traf- fic with the St Paul, and al- though this was decided in favor of the Alton that company found an excuse for notifying the asso- ciation of its intention to withdraw. The complications thusintroduced have brought on others, until now the situa- tion is said to be regarded by conserva- tive railroad men as the most serious that has ever menuced the western roads. ‘We observe that Chairman Walker, of the railway associntion, takes a hope- ful view of affairs. He looks, it is said, for a cessation of hostilities, and be- lieves that at the coming meeting wise counse! will prevail, and that none of the companies will risk adverse public opinion when they will bave an opportunity to accomplish commendable things by maintaining rates which ex- cessive crops and unprecedentedly heavy business will give them. But theve is nothing apparent to furnish a ground for confidence of this sort. Meantime, how is the law being re- spected? The New York Sun aflirms vhat the Alton, since it withdrew from the association, has been engaged in practices which bring it within the penalties of the amended inter-state commerce act, and it urges that these penalties should be enforced., ‘*So bold wud shameless,” says the Sun, ‘‘has this defiance of the law become that it is now essential, in the public inverest, that some vindication of it should ensue. It will not do to be content with fines paid by presidents on behalf of convicted subordinates, Such peunalties are laughed at and incurred with contempt. The provision which involves imprison- ment must be enforced, and not against the servants, but against the masters whose bidding they do0.” It would be well if this view could be so impressod upon the minds of the inter-state com- merce commissioners as to lead them to take the mensures they are authorized to take for effectively administering the law, and which it would seem nre now, quite as much asat any titmoe in the pnst, nacessary to check violations of the law and to prevent a general re- lapse into rascality MANUAL TRAINING IN OMAHA. The instructor in manual training in the high 1chool has asked for additional room and also that more attention be given to this branch of instruction. The special committes to whom the matter has beon referred should give the subject of manual training careful consideration, not only in its general aspects as a part of public instruction, but with reference as well to what has been accomplished hero. The question of the expediency of connecting manual training with the public schools is one upon which all educators are not agreed, and considering the limited extent to which this teaining is associnted with the schools of the coun- try, the conclusion must be that a ma- jority of educators are not favorable to it. The plan is, however, making pro- gress, though slowly, and in cities where it has received adequate atten- tion the results have been very satisfac- tory, and manual training in the schools is strongly supported. There is unquestionably a great deul to he said in its favor, but obviously when unter- taken it must be made thorough in or- der to be effective and to commend it- f to the public. A mer ficinl system of manual training is a te both of the puclic money nnd the time of the pupil. We are not fully in- formed regarding the course pursued and the results attained in the work of manual training in Omaha, but the in- ference from the recommendation of the professor in charge of the work, that more attention be given to it, must be that it has been neglected. We think the system should be continued, but only upon a basis of such thorougliness and efMcicuey ns will give iv the high- est practical value to those who shall avail them: (] $80 LI saving in other dire s could doubt- less be made for the benefit of the man- ual trainiag school. The matter is one to which the special committee of the board of education should give more than a perfunctory consideration. AN early decision is expectad from the treasury department on the rather importrnt question of the classification of Canadian cars employed on Ameri- can railronds. Thero has baan no inti- mation as to what view the department will take of this matter, but thers reason to believe that it -has been sub- jected to a strongipressure to induce it to decide that these cars shall be taxed. The claim of thoss who advocate this is that the privilege of free entry now ac- corded Canadian-built cars is boing largely abused, and that the im- position of a duty on these is ne- cessary for the protection of American car builders. It remains to be seen whether the government will be influ- enced by this view or by the mora lib- eral one that so long as the Canadians Q0 not tax American-built cars running temporarily into the Dominion, this government should allow Candian-built cars the privileze of passing throu the United States, provided they a returned to Canada within n reaso length of time. Pending the decision of this question it is interesting to note that the Dominioh eabinet has bee cussing a proposat to retul the United States in the mauter ol the forwarding of bonded goods through Canada from one port of vhis country to another, it huving been docided Washington not to allow the tran: sion of goods in bond from gne Canadis port to another through Maine, Officials areengaged in result of such legislation upon the relations of the two countries, and Pre- mier Macdonald is said to regard the situation as more critical than ever before. There is danger that existing differences between the United States and Canadn may become more comy cated and troublesome. THE union soldiers and saitors are well assured of just and generous treat- ment at the hands of the present ad- ministration. It is understood to be the intention of the various heads of departments to make no appointments to office until all the veteraus who were dismissed by the last administration for political reasons shall have been re- stored to their former places in the offices from which they were removed. As the number of veterans dismissed from the various departments for ‘of- fensive partisanship” and *pernicious activity,” as viewed by the last administration, coostitutes a con- siderable percentuge, it will require some time to accompish their restoration, and meanwhile the consid- eration of other applications will be postponed, The action of the adminis- tration in this matter, and undoubtedly the entire credit belongs to ‘the presi- dent, will lack the approval ouly of those who have no sympathy with the ex-union soldiers and sailors, and who hailed with gratification every dismis- sal of one such under the last adminis- tration. It is simple justice that every veteran who lost his position in the public sorvice for political reasons should be promptly restored to it. THAT ought to be a ver trip indeed, undertaken by the sena- torial committee now on its way to Alaska, delegated to look into the con- dition of the Indians there. It iscom- posed of Senators Dawes, Manderson, Stockbridge, Daniel and Joues of A kansas, and is the first trip of a senate committee into Alaska territory. Just what the commission proposes to do, however, is rather vague. It will look into the condition of the aborigines and will enjoy, Alaskan scenery and the rofreshing tohic of the aorth sea breezes. There has been uo particular complaint concerning Alaskan Indians, but then as the commission is expected to muke a report on the tribes, what better way to find out their habits and relatious thap by a personal visit? We , therefore, thatthe trip will be a most entertaining one to the sena~ tors, their #itos, rolatives and invited guests, espetially since Uncle Sam pays the frolnm." IT does nat, pay to sneer or oast re- flections upen the civil service rules in hearing of the elvil service commission. A Michigan collector of customs has been hauled 6ver the coals for express- ing an opinion derogatory to the civil service laws.” Mr. Roosevelt, chairman of the commission, has given this ocus- toms collector to understand that while the commission has no control over the expression ofany public officer, it will tolerate no violation and no evasion of the statute. ' In other words, the com- mission would have the postmasters and custom houso officors through the coun- try obey the civil service laws, even though they do not respoct them. OMATIA isnot alone in the enjoyment of a sensational land title suit. Minne- apolis has just been stirred up from cen- ter to circumference by the suit for the possession of business property in the heart of the city valued at a round mil- lion. The adventurersof the Flour city pressing their claims are likely to re- ceive us little comfort for their pains as the Omaha claimants. Tie first judicial ruling affecting local meat inspection laws comes from Indiana, where a judge of the circuit court has declared the act passed at the recent session of the Indiana legisla- ture to be unconstitutional. The ground taken is, that the state undertakes to supervise and regulate inter-state com- merce, which is clearly the province of congress.

THE NEW BOARD OF PARDONS, It Will Recommeond the Rolease of Two Indians, WHITE WATER AND BLACK HAWK, The First Has Served Ninoteen and the Second Seventeon Years in the Nebraska Penitentiary ~lincoln Notes. 1029 P Staeer, LiNcony, July 2 The board of pardons, croated by an act of the late legislature, will do its first work July 4. It is composod of Judge Rooso, At- torney General Loose, Secretary Laws and Wardon Hopkins. The- board will recom- mend the pardon of two Indians, known as Black Hawk and James White Water, the former having served ninotoen yoars and the latter sevouteen years in the stato poniten- tiary.
