KANSAs Crry looks upon the efforts mado by the Chicago and Alton to break the agreement existing among the Missouri river railroads respecting the transportation of freignt asa fight an favor of that city. The Alton has mongurated the movement to compel froight in bulk to be broken at Missouri river points, making Kansas City the dividing line for the eastern and west- ern trada. It remains to be seen what effect the Alton’s course will have on the action of other road: Tur unusually heavy movement of hogs to market during the past two weoks has been a great surprise to both packers and shippers. During the early ‘part of the scnson fears were enter- ‘tainéd that the supply would run short, Bvidences at hand, however, show that the present season is equal if not su- perior to past seasons. What is es- Ipecially gratifying is the fact that the shipments into Missouri river packing genters have been steadily growing and exceod Chicago’s record as a hog warket.

In framing their constitutions the representatives of the people of the four prospective new states will be con- fronted by the same questions which have agitated the people of the existing ates, As to some of these the condi- tions affecting them may be somewhat different in the new states, or a portion of them, from those prevailing else- where, but the basic princivies will be the same. The communities prevaring for statehood should be able to derive valuable suggestions from the experi- ence of those who have already dealt with these issues, and thereby avoid mistakes which would most surely result in embarrassments and difficulties that might seriously retard their prosperity. Foremost among these questions will be that of the regulations of railronds. This is n matter thonocessity for which has not been romoved by national leg- islation, though that has perhaps sim- plified the problem so far as the states are concerned. Owing to the fact that the new states will be so largely de- pendent upon railway communication for their development and prosperity, the question of regulation must be con- sidered from no narrow and prejudiced standpoint. Restrictive legislation will be required, but it will need to be so wisely ordered that, while the interests of the people shall be fairly and adequately protected, rail- road enterprises in the now states shall not bo discouraged. Noother question that will be presented to the representa- tives of the people of the prospsctive states will call for the exercise of ator judgmont and statesmanship 1 thatof a judicious nnd conserva- tive regulation of railroads. The question of constitutional prohib- tion is certain to obtrude itself, and there s reason to appre- hend that its advocates will be successful in some of the mew states. The rejaction of prohibitory amend- ments by eight states within the last two years,and the repeal of such an amendment by the people of another state after a teial of three yours had tablished the fact that it was a mistake and failure, together with the irrefut- able proof that prohibition has no- where been suc ul, ought to he suf- ficient to defeat efforts in behalf of con- stitutional prohibition iu all of the new states, but it may be necessary for the people of soms of them to acquire their knowledge from their own experience. It would unquestionably be fortunate for all the prospective states if they were to siart out with a wise regulation of the liquor traftic, such as is provided for by ‘the high license and local option laws which have been found so fruitful of good rosults,in curtailing the trafic and reducing intemperance. The advocates of prohibition in the new states may be- lieve that they can accomplish what no other community has been able to achieve, but nothing is wore certain than that the success of their counsels will be followed by a repeti- tion of the experience of the states which have given prohibition a full, fair and thorough trial. The auti-monopoly sentiment will be strong 1n all the new states, and they should start out with ample provision against the formation of trusts or other combinations to suppress competition in trade and to unduly control the pro- ducts of the people. There may not be immediate * danger from monopoly of this sort, but nothing will be lost by taking a clearly defined position re- garding all forms of monopoly and at the outser enacting laws that will exclude them. In such mat- ters prevention is better than cure. The tendaency to too-much legislation, so general in this country, is to be ex- pected of the representativesof the peo- ple of the new states. This will need to be kept in control. There is abundant experience upon which tho constitu- tion-framers and the law-makers of the prospective states may draw for light and knowledge, and if they blunder it will be due to their failure to make wise use df the sources of information and direction at their command, OFFICIAL INTEGRITY. The lack of official houor 15 becoming an alarming feature of publiclife in the west. It1s not necessary to go outside of Nebraska to readily discern the evo- lution from integrity to knavery, from the promptings of honesty to the grasp- ing claws of avarice. It1s not because greed is usurping the place of integrity. It is because of the widespread and well founded conviction that the sharper who sucecessfully fleeces the public and covers his tracks escapes the punish- ment usually visited upon common thieves. The result of this feeling is seen in the indifference of officials charged with responsible trusts, They are creatures of circumstances, elevated to positions of trust by combinations of events, or by the shrewd manipulations of the forces they are expected to serve. Streams can not rise above their source, neither can the individual of questionable an- tecedents rise above the elements which gave him power. He must respect their wishes and labor for their interests, directly or indirectly. Friling to do 80 insures him the active political and personal emnity of the gang, and the humiliation of a defeat should he aspire for re-election or reappointment. The ubsence of official honesty is par- ticularly prominent in public works of every charueter, from the state govern- ment down to town trustees. Jobs of every kind ave permitted. Officials connive with contractors or winlk at their schemes to rob the public treas- ury. The application of business prin- ciples to the conduct of publie works is rare, and the sharper is not backward in making the most of it. BEven if rigid adherence to the terms of the contract is exacted, some loophole is found to drive a profitable job. Tustances are not wanting to show a growing disregard of the publie in- terest in official circles. The state house and the Douglas county hospital, pavements in Omaha and Lincoln, and the foundation of the Omaha city hall, are conspicuous exguples of publio job- bery. Kven where the executive power was zealously exercised the iun- competency or willful neglect of duty on the part of subordinates enabled the jobbers to ignore their legal obligations and raid the public treasury. The remedy lies with the officials.” They are in honor bound to protect the interests of the people as vigilantly as they would their own. And itis par- ticularly important to Omaha just now | that those charged with the duty of carrying forward public works should avercise the greatost care and vigilance. The construction of the new city hall and the paving and the other contracts under way, involving an expenditure of over one million dollars, demand honest and intelligent attention to prevent a repotition of for- mer seanduls, The seloction of inspect- ors and superintendents is the primary essentinl. Competency and honesty, coupled with a will to enforce contract obligations, are the prime qualifications vequired, and the appointing power can not be relieved of responsibility if it imposes on the people men unfitted in character and experience to protect the taxpayers from mercenaries. There has recontly been s ronewal of charges regarding immigration abusos at New York which show that the com- missioners of emigration there have re- lapsed into their old methods. Tt will bo remembored that about a year ago the abuses practiced at Castle Garden grew to be so bold and numerous that an investigation was instituted with view to- ascertaining where the r sponsibility belonged and applying o remedy. The iovestigation had the effect of improving matters, and until recently thors have been no complaints for a num- ber of months. Immigrants received better attention from the offleials, and were not surrendered into the hands of the miserabie and soulless sharks who hud long preyed upon them. Certain railroads were not espo ¢ favored'to the d ntage and the laws were not violated, at least to the ent they had been, by permitting unfit persons to land. But there was a failure to fix the re- sponsibility for the abuses that had been committed, and the chief thing to ba done, o comple ization of the board of commissioners,was not e In these circumstances it wa able that matters would in back into the old ruts, and this appears from the charges publicly made by two of the commissioners to be Th reported o the that the board is in a disorganiz demoralized condition, ‘and t gest as a remody for the existing and abuses that the functions of the board be dis¢harged undor the supervision of , the collestor of the port and of officers appointed by him, as is the case at San Franeisco and one or two other ports of entry. The regulation of immigration at the port of New York, and the care of immi- grants, is at present conducted by the state board of emigration under a con- tract with the s ry of the treasury, which that official may annul at any time when he finds that the duties of the board are not properly discharged or that its authority is abused. The secretary under the last administration intimated a pur- pose to do this, but very political reasons, which interferad with the formance of so many of the prom that administration, led him to take no action. It is a strange arrangement that dal- gates the enforcement of United Ste laws to state off over whom the tional authorities huve nodirect control, but whatever defense may be made of this arrangement, which has long been in vogue, there can be none for the government per- mitting these abuses to con- tinue after having been authoritatively informed of their existence, and with the knowledge that they been going on, with the excoption of tho brief peried of a few months, for rs, The government has a plain duty to perform both to the immigrants and to itself—to the former in protecting them against imposition, extortion and abuse, and to itsell in sceing that the laws which provide for the exciusion of certain classes ave faithfully enforced. The evidence would seem to be con- clusive tlat both are mnow being wronged, urquestionably to the ad- vantage of the unscrupulous commis- sioners, and a summary stop should be put to the scandal ve THE great drawback to the introduc- tion of hemp culture on a large scale in America is the dryness of the climate. Even on the Atlantic coast the climate is too arid in comparison with the humid condition of Ireland, where the flax is cured and bleached ready for the fac- tory at havdly any expense. It is claimed, however, that a machine has been invented which will preserve the light color of hemp fibre without the necessity of subjecting it to the bleach- ing process. In other words, the new invention is to hemp fibre what the cotton gin is to cotton. If all that is claimed for this wonderful machine be true, it is reasonable to ex- pect that the cultivation of hemp in this country will be greatly stimulated and the growing of hemp tfor the tibre will become a leading industry. Flax is already raised in Nebraska and in other states for its seed, and once demonstratea that the fibre can be profitably cultivated for the making of linen, a bright future for that industry is opened. Strange as it may scem the manufacture of linen 1s unknown in America, while the con- sumption of it is a constantly growing factor. In 1887 the United States im- ported fully fifteen million dollars worth of linen cloths of all kinds, linen threads and the like. While Ireland has the bulk of this trade, no inconsiderable vart of the import comes from England, Germany and France. Under the favor- able conditions promised to flax eulture and linen manufacture it is not too much to hope that the United States will at an early day take rank with the leading linen manufacturing countries of the world, AMERICAN boodlers in Canada will learn with dismay that the imperial government will approve the oxtra- | dition bill passed iy the Canadian par- liament, which js getroactive according to the opinion of the attorney general of the Dominiom If this opinion holds, our governmernt'may ask the surrender of the boodlerd who have fled from this country to Cantida, and in that ease the Canadian government would very likely feel disposed to give them up as an ovidenco of good faith in passing’ the law. There is & good deal of sympathy in Canada for what is knoyn as the ‘American colony,” a numbor of whom have be- come identified with the best socioty there, but as this'did not prevent the passage of the law, it may not be power- ful enough to protect them in case this government should ask for their sur- render. P Tne Philapelphia Ledger calls for public compstition for theseal fisheries, which are now absolutely controlled by the Alaska Commarcial company. The people and press of the country are with the Ledger.

NEBRASKA Crry, Neb.,, July 5.— [Special to Tre Bee.]—While Mayor Dennison was Indian agent at Nebraska City, back in the ’50’s, he always ex- pressed confidence in the final and only solution of the Indian problem by the education of the red heathens and mixing thom with the whites in the same mannor as the negro. To demon- strate his faith in this belief he made several attempts at individual education of the untutored Inaian mind, but each instance only ended in failure. HHe dropped his full blooded Indian pupils and adopted into his family a half breed named Duephaw, who afterwards played such a prominent part in assist- ing the mayor to AUSCOND WITHT THE FUNDS, It was Mr. Dennison’s idea to educate this half breed and send him in the capucity of missionary smong the Otoes, and he was so successful in this respeet a8 to pursuade vhe Indian to discard his Blanket costume and don the habiliments of civilization, so that he became the dude of the settloment. Duephaw, or Indian Mose, as he was then called, enjoyed this mode of life and improved to such an extent that he refusod to associate with his own people, and the latter soon learned to hate him as heartily as their worst white enemy. BEverything apparently moved along satisfactorily in educational progress until the time of the Indian agent’s financial troubles when the latter disappoared leaving his reaskin protege behind to shift f S self. The part ha took in ussisting in the major’s escepe as related in last Sunday’s Bew, only scemed to bring him into worse repute among his own people, who would for a time have noth- ing to do with him, and being thrown upon his own resources ho lived upon tne charity of the settlors and finally returncd to his blanket, and through some means, was permitted to ngain take up his abode in the huis of the Otoes.. Mose became lazy and worthless and one of the dirtiest of the tribe. His final taking off was i fit keeping with his mode of life. But the hall-breed had a more intevesting story which bears repeating. In the fall of 1850 Mose was one of a party of hunters, composed of Otoe [n- dians and a fow whites from the s ment. The trip was mado the mnorthwest —and ihe ond night the hinters into camp on the Platt a village of the Pawnees. ing outfit was also in camp nenr by all were who furn GOVERNMENT and dly treated by the Pawnees hed them with food. Duphaw spent the evening with the young men of the neighboring Indians around their camp-fire.and it was probably lute in the evening when he returned to the hunters’ camp. He had not gone far from the village when his attention was attracted to two men at a distance DRAGGING ANOTHER PERSON BETWEEN THEM. Upon approaching Duphaw ascer- tained that the two men were freight drivers and the third person an Indian maiden. and as one of the men had cov- ered the woman’s mouth with his hand, their object wasonly tooapparent to the half-breed, and with an unearthly yell he sprang upon the two men, who quickly released the woman and took to their heels. A handred Indians were soon on the ground and the affair ex- plained, and Duphaw was persuaded to return to the village and accept the hospitalities of the Pawne reason the villainous drive molested, but the half-b made much of by his new and recognizing a ‘“‘soft he concluded to remain with the Pawnees for a time, and the hunting party went on the huyting trip without him. All went seemingly w with Duphaw until a young Pawnee buck began to exhibit a dislike for the Otoe heroe. which enlminated in a mur- derous midnight attack on the latter while LYING ASLERP IN HIS HUT. The treacherous Pawneo was evidently nervous, or his aim was bad, for when the hand with o knife descended it only cut a big slice of tlesh from ene of Du- phaw’s ribs, and a terrified yell caused the Pawnee to drop his knife and then escape in the darkness. Duphaw re- mained with the Indians a few days longer, but refused to aceuse his assail- ant or bring him to account, although they saw each other every day. The half-breed disappeared one night, and the Indian girl, who was known among the settlers as Minnetuwah, was missing at the same time, and » Wing, the j wnee, was found dead the next morning with his own kuife BURIED IN HIS BREAST. There was no question us to who the was and Duphaw’s life ed forfeited, and partics upon the trail of the half-breed and the girl. 1t appears that the couple made for the Otoo res s were not ed was friends, snap” For some | stole a horse from the Otoes, deserted the girl and left for the south. He roe mained away for several months and then drifted back to the vicinity of the Pawneo village, with evident intention of committing furthor crime, but was discovered and recognizod by Minnetus wah, who betrayed him to her people. Instant pursuit was made and he was again chased into the Otoe age where he was lost, but the latter tribe promised to find him and tarn him over to his enemies, the Pawnecs, and the latter returned home. Dupha ate tempted to leave the country again and was discovered by several of his ohe tribo who gave chase and mn was forced to enter the home of Interpretor Bennewt near this city and bog for protection. Mr. Bennett was not at home, and his wife refused to al- low the half-breed to remain, but ad- vised him to leave by an opposite door and make for the bluffs, which he did after much persuasion. The other In- dinns soon arrvived and searched the house from bottom to top. and thus lost enough time to allow Duphaw to escape. It was the last scon of him in the settle- ment, and his whereabouls were un- known until a fow months lator, when hisdead body was found on an old camping ground of a party of Pawnee hunters. The body look as if he had starved to death, but his death could not have been the result of this as the carcass of a deer, left by the Pawnees, was found near by. It doveloped later that the hunters had poisoned the car- cass for the purpose of killing wolves, and the unfortunate half-breed who had doubtless arrived there in a hall- starved condition from his exile, ate of the meat, and it proved fatal. —— A Fat Man's Funoral. The single-story red house on Hart street, near the water-works fountain, was to-duy tho scene of u remarkablo funeral, says an Elmita (N. Y.) dis- pateh. John Laws,the fat man, who woighed 640 pounds and was the biggest man in America, lived there a number of yoars and died there on Monday. Many curious people went 10 sce him in life, and a crowd stood around the little house and tramped over the lawn this morning in a fruitless attempt to sce the face of the dead. Decomposi- tion set in early, and this morning the big casket was not opened. The mini ter engaged at 10 0'clock did notappear, and the services were delayed until 11 o’clock, when the Rev.

Holliday, of Marietta, Fla., to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter last might. ‘‘Iiver since Ponce do Leon sot foot on the Peninsula, a column of smoke has been seen ascending from a point in the Everglades, but although hundreds of attempts have been made to reach it and flnd out what it was, the den: underbrush, the quagmires, the veptiles and insects of the Evergludes nave always turncd back the boldest explorer, and the mystery remained un- Vi few weeks ago, however, men, natives of south ida, after many failures, succeeded in finding the source of the mysterious smoke. It comes, it seems, from a wroup of three boiling springs, some- thing like the geysers of the Yellow- stone, except that these springs do not rise to so great a height, and ave in- finitely hotter. They spring from a little bure island in the middle of the swamp, the heat killing all vegetation in the neighborhood. The steam aris- ing from them is the supposed smoke which so many have vainly endeavored to tind.”” W s A Z:potec Oodex, It is stated that Mr. Doremberg, o German in Pueblo, Mexico, has acquired a Zapotec codex, very ancient. The hieroglyphs are painteéd on the skin of some wild animal, and beneath each hieroglyph is written iz Roman char- acters its moaning in the Zapotee lan- guage. The writing must have been the work of some priest about the year 1550. The hicratic characters are much older. The subject matter of the painting seems to be the many migra- tions of the ancient race of Zapoteo Indians. e Perfect in Physiolo sy, New York Weelkly: Anxious mam- ma—Why. my dear, you look sick.
