A POPULAR JOURNALIST. Mr. Murat Halstead is popular with his neighbors, which is the best possi- ble evidence of a man’s personal worth, The reception given him in Clneinnaty would have been an honor to any man in the nation. The largest hall in the city was crowded with representative citizens, and the occasion was one of notable enthusiasm. It was not simply a testimonial of personal regard, but an endorsement of the political eourse of the distinguished editor, pare ticularly with reference to the al- leged corruption by which Henry B. Payne secured his seat in the United States senate and also a rebuke of those republican senators who voted to reject the nomination of Mr. Halstead as min- ister to Germany, This matter is to play a conspicuous part in the Ohio campaign. Mr. Hal- stead is an avowed candidate for the United States senate to sucoced Mr. Payne, and the republicans of Cincin- nati are rallying to his support. There appears to be a quite general feeoling throughout the state that it is the duty of Ohio republicans to vindieate Mr. Halstead, and while it is hardly to be expected, in the event of the election of a republican legislatuve, that he will not emcounter opposition, the chances will be largely in his favor His elec- tion to the senate would, under the cir- cumstances, be an act of justice, while it can be said without the lenst qualifi- cation that the republicans of Ohio could not select a man who would more faithfully represent them in the senate. lver since the organization of the re- publican party Mr. Halstead has been one of the most vigorous, aggressive and untiring expo- nents and chempions of its policy and vrinciples. His pen has been a powerful nid to the party in Ohio, and until now he has never asked any position at the hands of the party. His great labor has been performed from a high sense of duty, and while his election to the senate would add nothing to the honor in which he is justly held as an able and upright editor, it would be a fitting recognition of his long and valuable services. It goes without saying that M, Halstead is fully equipped for the discharge of senatorial duties. His experience of forty years asan editor has given him a breadth of intellectual activity and an acguaintance with the poiitical history of the country such as few men even in the national senate can lay claim to. The Ohio campaign will possess n general interest, and not the lcpst interesting feature of 1t will be tbe part taken in it by the senatorial candidacy of Mr. Halstead. AN INJUSTICE EXPOSED. Certain nowspapers have been per- sistently ridiculing Mr. Russell B. Har- rvison since he has been abroad. All sorts of stories have been published re- garding him, with the design of mak- ing him appear as a snob and toady. Most of these have unquestionably been pure inventions, while such as had a foundation of truth were served out with a mass of misrepresentations. As the son of the president, Mr. Harrison enjoys social advantages in Europe beyond what would ba accorded to the average American citizen, and he has doubtless improved these, but in this he has done nothing more than most mon inlike circum- stances would do, and it does not appear that in any respect or in any instance he has violated any of the proprieties, or conducted himself otherwise than as a gentleman. The repugnance of Amer- icans to any extraordinary effort on the partof one of their fellow-citizens to obtain the favor of royalty is natural and is not to be condemned, but it may be carried to such an extent as to do in- justice, and this seems to be the case in the ridicule that has been heaped upon Mr. Russell B. Harrison. Mr. Murat Halstead has printed in his paper, the Cincinnati Commercial- (Gazetle, some notes of his observations when abroad, and among them he re- fers to the ridicule of Mr. Harrison by eertain American newspapers. He makes particular reference to the story t Mr. Harrison was summoned from Paris to dine with Queen Victoria, and that he was greatly troubled about his olothing. The truth is that Mr, Harri- son dined with the queen before he went to Paris, and the uneerstanding in England is, that in inviting him she was really extending a civil- ity to the president himself, and thereby showing hor good feeling for the American people. “Nothing of an extraordinary charac- ter,” writes Mr. Halstead, ‘*‘occurred during the visit of Minister and Mrs, Lincoln and Mr. Rvussell Harrison te the queen at Windsor. They wore, of course, dress suits, as they would if they were invited to a state dinner at the white house, and all that is said about Mr. Harrison’s solicitude about proper apparel is purely gratuitous and silly gossip.” The civilitiesshown him were not of his seeking und were unexpected, but having been extended, obviously with the best of motives, Mr, Harrison could not, with any propriety, have de- clined them. Cortainly there is nothing in this, as Mr. Halstead justly observes, to excite the derisive dispositions of those who choose to nickname the young gentle- man and pursue him with fabrications that are fanciful ana absurd. The testi- mony of Mr. Halstead in this matter is conclusive, and it ought to silence the tongue of ridicule and misrepresenta- tion. E— POVERTY NO CRIME. ‘There is a system of Siberian tyranny in vogue in the police circles of Omaha. Men are arrested upon the shghtest pretext. Industrious laboring men, temporarily out of employment are harassed and frightened out of town. Well behaved strangers in quest of emn- ployment, are run in as suspicious char- acters, despoiled of what money they may have on their persons, and advised 1o leave town or suffer the penalty of being put through the mill, Instances have recently heen brought to light where such men have been re- fused the money which was taken from them upon their arrest and imprison- ment, Gross favoritism is practiced among men who transgress the misde- meanor ordinunce, while men whose only orime is that they are without work are forced fnto jall by the police in order to make a pretense of doing their duty, The police exercise little or n) judg- mont in the arrests that are made, and that malice on the part of their sup- erior officers alone inspired a number of rocent arrests is no longer & matter of question. Tne BeEr has no desire to defend the oriminal classes, but it is time thata reform movement be insti- tuted to check the raids of the police upon unoffending people. A metropolitan police does not mean an imperial police. Its officers are simply citizens employed at salaries paid out of the public treasury for the protection of life and property and the maintenance of law and order. They are not designed to oppress and tyran- nize over citizens orstrangers who hap- pen to be poor and out of employment. Poverty is no erime in this land and our police laws and regulations do not authorize or contomplate any infringe- ment upon the rights of peaceable men to walk our stroets, even il they are clothed in rags. The disclosures which TBE Bre makes concerning the conduct of cer- tain officers on tho police force demands at the hands of the police commission stringent mensures that will effectually prevent a recurrence. THE PROSPECT IN MONTANA. ‘The outlook for republican success in Montana in the October election is im- proving. What the party there appoars just now to be most in need of is thor- ough organization. There has been some disaffection, but this is believed to have disappeared, so that all that re- mains to he done now is to put the party in good fighting condition, and this task the leaders are now addressing them- selves to. The fact that the state is sparsely settled necessitates a great deal of work, but this condition affects equally the opposition. The questions of greatest concern to the people of Mon- tana are those relating to the mining and wool-growing industries, and with respect to both of these, recent decisions of the treasury department have given great satisfaction in Montana. One of these decisions refers to the importation of lead ore containing sil- ver from Mexico, and the ruling of the department, which was in the interest of the miners of Montana and other sections, will, it is believed, add sey- eral thousands to the republican vote in that state. The wool growers, also, are very much pleased with the ruling of the secretary of the treasury classifying worsteds with manufactured cloth, and this interest will be largely with the republicans. That party is also likely to gain some- thing from the more liberal policy an- nounced by the secretary of the interior regarding timber lands. The course of the previous administration in this par- ticular gave a great deal of dissatisfac- tion, and the change of policy has had good results so far as helping the re- publican cause in Montana is con- cerned. Thus the situation in the only one of the mnew states which the democrats have any expectation of carrying is looking more hope- ful for the republicans, and if the party shall be thoroughly organized and no new cause of disafiection arises there is strong reason to anticipate a repuli- can victory in October that will place the new state in the control of that party and send republicans to congress. It should be understoood, however, that this will not be accomplished without a vigorous fight. The democrats do not spare anything that will be necessary to win, and the wealthy men of Mon- tana who are members of that party will spend money lavishly. There are said to be some internal quarrels among the democrats, but these will very likely not amount to much when elec- tion day arrives, even if the disaffected do not “‘get together” bafore that time, which is more than probable. Hard and steady work is what the republi- cans of Montana have before them, and with this they have a most favorable prospect of winning. ece— Tire sentence of death pronounced in Liverpool against Mrs. Maybrick, found guilty of poisoning her husband, has caused a profound sensation this side of the Atlantic. The social position of the condemned, her youth and beauty, the enormity of the crime as well as the circumstance that she was in a land of strangers with her own kin turned against her. make the case one of thrill- ing sensation. It is probably the first time in the history of this country that an American woman has been con- demned to death by an English judge on the verdictof an English jury. What especially calls forth comment is the fact that the trial was begun and ended and sentence given all within the space of three or four days. In America the accused would have been given weeks, perhaps months, in which to clear her- self of the foul charge. It remains to be seen whether ecapital punishment will be meted out to the unhappy woman, In all probability an effort will be made by those interested in her cause, or by the American government, to reopen her case for rehearing, or at least to have the sentence of death com- muted to imprisonment for life. — THE secretary of the interior has taken prompt and effective measures to warn greedy land grabbers that their filings on land in the wake of the sur- veys instituted by the government for the purpose of redeeming the arid tracts of the west (are void. This will be a sad disappointment to the specula- tors. — NonrrH DAKOTA has parcelled out its public buildings by locating the state capitol at Bismarck, its university at Grand Forks, and ius other schools and asylums in the various prominent cities of the new state. It will not be so easy, however, to locate the capitol of South Dakota, since all but two of the leading cities are bitter rivals for the honor. The capitol location in South Dakota has grown to a craze, It is of greater importance than the selection of United States senators or the whole siate ticket. 1t has worked the people of the cities into & high tension, and in comparison with it every issue pales into iusignifi- _OMAHA DAILY P o cance, Amopg the more ambitious rivals may be named Sioux Falls, Huron, Pierro, Watertown and Mitchell, and in the frenzied opdeavors to capture the prize, it 100KS &4 if ench of them is will- ing to go bahkcbupt. C——D NEBRASKAhns a serious grievance against the civil service commission in naming the datgs for holding examina- tions in the stajg atan inopportune time, The first exapinations were held at Omaha and Lincoln in May, ten days after the civil service rules went into effect, without first giving notice to that effect. Many citizens wore thereby de- barred from filing their applications in time, and consequently appointments which would have gone to Nebraska went to other states. This is a palpable injustice which should have been cor- rected by the commission as soon as its attention was called to the matter. But the request of our congressmen to hold another examination in August has been denied, and nothing remains but for the people of the state to grin and bear it. CLAUS SPRECKLES, the California sugar king, may or may not be in earn- est in his promise to wage war on the sugar trust, but the mammoth refinery he is erecting in Philadelphia is des- tined to become a sharp competitor of the trust at no distant day. What is of particular interest is the fact that the new refinery will make sugar out of sugar beet. This is the first time that this industry has been undertuken on a large scale in this country, outside of Californin. The experience and repu- tation of Spreckles as a sugar manufac- turer indicate that he knows what he is about, and the result of his project will be watched with interest. If success- ful there is overy reason to believe that a great impetus will be given to the raising of sugar beet all over the coun- try,and as Nebraska has exceptional ad- vantages for that industry certain sec- tions of the state will be able to benefit greatly by it. THIERE appears to be no solicitude in Washington official circles regarding the Behring sea imbroglio. All who talk on the subject express full confi- dence in the ability of the government to maintaia the position it has taken, and also state that it is the purpose of the administration to follow strictly the letter and spirit of the act of congress forbidding the 1invasion of the waters of Alaska by unauthorized seal hunt- ers. So far as Canadian bluster is con- cerned, 1t evidently has no terrors for the Washington authorities. Mean- while, the Capadian officials are main- taining a discreet silence, possibly awaiting suggpstions from the imperial government, — THE Kentucky olection has demon- strated that bourbonism survives in full force in that state. Before the election there appeared to be afair promise that the republicans would very materially reduce the democratic majority. They made & vigorous’ campaign, and they had excellent material, a leading feature of which was the defalcation of the democratic state treasurer elected four years ago. But the returns do not indicate that the democrats lost any ground, and indeed their majority is probably larger than it was two years ago. The missionary work for the re- demption of Kentucky from bourbon rule will have to be continued a good while yet. 4he Ballet Dancer's Protest, Kansas City Journal, The modest protest of the ballet dancers against the trust: *‘We kick.” ———— Entitled to Precedence.

Cnroaco, August 7.—[Special Telegram to Twe Bee.]—Vice president McMullin, of the Alton, has returned from the east. Heis rather non-committal regarding the objects of his trip. He would neither con- firm nor deny the reports that the Alton is negotiating for control of the Kansas Pa- afic branch of the Unmian Pacific. He said the Union Pacific could not sell the Kansas Pacific road outright because it was covered by a general wmortgawe, but there was no reason why it could nov leasa the road to the Alton on similar terms as it leased its Central branch to the Missouri Pacific, Such an arrangement, he said, would no doubt prove beneficial to both the Union Pa- cific and Alton. Whether the deal would be consummated he could not state at this time, but so much was certain— that the Alton will either have to fight for a share of the traflic from the territory west of the river, or it will bave to sccure control of aline already bumlt west from Kansas City, or construct an entirely new extension, T'he Alton 18 not desirous of making war upon competing lines, as this would injure it almost as much as its competiters, but it can- not allow itéelf to be shut out of the territory west of the river, be the cost what it may. The competitors of the Alton can avoid a figbt by conceding it a fair pro portion of trans - Missouri traffic If this i8 not done the Al ton will have to make such rates and take such measures as will insure ita fair proportion of that business until it has secured an independent line west of the Mis- souri. The Alton, he said, would prefer to obtain control of an old line like the Kansus Pacific than to bulld a new one, there being already more roads west of the Missour: than are necessary to supply the present de- mands. But if it cannot secure a line al- ready built it will be compelled, if the present fight against this road 18 continued, to build a new hne. There could be no doubt as to the Allon’s ability to secure all the capital it wanted for such a purpose without the aid of the New York bankers’ triangle, The report that a syndicate of English capitalists had offered the Alton $40,000,000 for the pur- chase or builaing of a line west of the Mis- soury, he said, is true, and similar offers had been made to President Blackstone by other Buropean capitalists, Mr. McMullin confirmea the report that the Alton wiill withdraw from the Western Freight association, the Western Railway Weighing association and inspection bureau as soon as the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe puts into eifect the proposed exclusive through freight tariff. The Alton, he said, wentinto these associations upon the express understanding that the Santa Fe would vermit it to share in through trafiic from points on the line of the Santa Fe at a regu- lar proportion of the through The re- vudiation of that agreement by the Santa e will absolve the Alton from all allegiance to these associations. el WESTERN PACKING INTERESTS, An Increase Compared With the Same Week Last Yea, CINCINNATI, O., August 7.— gram to Tue Bes]—To-morrow's Prico Current will say: The woek’s packing re- turns show a total of 185,000 hogs handled by western packers, the same number as for the preceding week and compared with 110,000 last year, indicating an increase of 25,000 for the week, compared with a year ago, and an increase of 910,000 for the sea- son, the total from March 1 being 4,660,000, against 8,750,000 a year ago.

M. Thayer be requosted w immediately issuo a proolama- tion quarantining this state until November 1, 1380, against cattle shipped from said yards. J. A, HAxr, Vico President, A. L, Lorr, Secretary. On reading the preamble and resolution, and regarding such a positive and unqualified statewent as entitled to immodiate consider- ation, and it being of such vital interest to the cattle interests of this state, I at once sent the telegraphic notice to the different railroads prohibiting the shipment of any catule from the Kansas City stock yards into Nebraska, On returning to Lincoln I found remon- strancos from Armour, Cudahy & Co. and Gooree H. Hammonad & Co. against th order, and asking that cattle for immediate slanghter be exempted. I then telegraphed President Hake asking for the views of the stock oxchange on this proposed exemption. He replied that he would call the stock ex- change together the next day and ascertain their views. ‘The meeting was hold, and as a result the following telegram was sent me on July 80; SouTn Omamy, July 80, 1880.—Hon.

Governor of the State of Nebraska: At a called meet- ing of the South Omaha Live Stock Kx- change the following resolution was passed : Resolved, Thav the South Omaha Live Stock Exchange, believing that no contagion will result therefrom, hereby respectfully request that you exempt from tho proposed quarantine regulation against cattle bought at Kansas City and destined to this point for immediate slaughter, suca cattle as may be bought by the South Omaba packers and brought here accompanied by a certificate of heaith and unloaded at the said packing bouses at_their individual chutes or pens, provided that the cars from which they were 80 unloaded shall be disinfected and sealed and returned so sealed to the point of origi- nation, and further, that the auid cars shall not be cleansed within the state. A. C. Fostex, president, A. L. Lort, secretary. If I comply with the request contained in this resolution it will bring this quaraatine matter to_exactly the same condition that existed when your association took their first action on the 23d of July and requested me to quarantine against any cattle whatever from Kansas City stock yards. This sudden reversal of your position first taken, this sudden transposition from onc side of this question to the other, is somewhat surpris- ing. And furthermore, your body gives no explanation forit. Your first resolution re- questing me to quarantine agaiust every- thing from Kansas City stock yards was ac- companied by the following telegram: STock YARDS, KANsAS City, Mo., July 1889.—To Lee Ro hschild: Would not advi: buying any feeders here now on account of fever. A. MEYER. 1 could not doubt the truth of that tcle- gram. I regarded it as amply suflicient to justify your action of the 23d of July, re- Qquesting absolute quarantine aguinst Kansas City stock yards, and it was suflicient, too, for my action. You now ask me to uado what I then did. Youd 't now inform e if you have received any information to the effect that Texas fever does not exist in the Kansas City stock yards, and did not existat the date of that ‘telegram, July 22, or that ‘Pexas fever has not recently existed in those yards. That it did exist there between the 12th and 22d of July I have abundant proof in addition to what you furnished me. On the 31st of July the following letter was addressed by me to H. H. Child, super- intendent stock yards, Kansas Ciuy : Is there any 'l'exas fever in your jurisdic- tion? How recently has there been any there! By giving me information in an- swer to the above inquiries you will place me under obligations, and I shall appreciate your courtesy. The next day brought the following tele- ram: 4 $ Stook Yarns, Kaxsas City, Mo.—To Gov- ernor Jotn M. Thayer: lLetter received. ‘There is no fever in tue yards. Under pres- ent regulations security from disease is per- fect as possibly could be made. In reply thereto the following telegram was sent: H. H. Child, Esq., Kansas City.—You failed to answer one of my main questions, which was: How recently did Texas fever exist in the Kansas City stock yardst That telegram brought the following an- swer, though reluctantly : Had & few sick cattle’a fow weeks ago. H., H. Cau.p, Sup't Kansas City Stock Yards, “Sick cattle” meant Texas fover. Parties connected with thoso stock yards have ad- mitted to me that five dilfereni lots of cattle sick with Texas fever were brought into the Kansas City stock yards between the 12th and 22d of July, and that eighteen head bhad aied of Texas fever since their arrival in those yards. These facts prove that the ut- most caution and vigilauce are not always sufficient to prevent the invasion of this dis- ease. In consideration of the Kansas City stock yards question the opportunity has been af- forded me for observing how much the judg- ment of people are influenced by what affects fuvorably or unfavorably their own specinl interests, aud without a proper regard for the interests of the public. One cattleman writes and asks me to lift the quarantine be- cause he wants to buy fecders at Kansas City, and unother cattleman writes me and asks that an absolute quarantine against the Kansas City stock yards bo maintained. 1 have no object in_view except to protect the cattle interests of Nebrasks and to guard against the introduction of Texas fever, ThisIam bound todo at all haz- ards, One party writes me and says, “Why do you not establish cattle inspectors ab Kunsus City the same as the Live Stock Sanitary Board of Health of Illinois has done!” My reply to that is that the governor of this state has not a dollar of funds to apply to that purpose, aud men will not go to Kansas City and live at their own expense. In conclusion I must say that I can not ef- fect a change of base as readily ws your as- sociation have doue without more light on the subject, and I proposs to ascertain u sentiment as far as possible of e farmors and stockmen of the state. The order issued from Long Pine notifying all railroads that they must not ship cattle from Kansas City wto Nebraska must stand for the preseut LINCOLN BURBAU OF Tan OMA®A Ban, 1029 Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.

One of the examin- ers exprosses the open opinion that state banks oan be made as thoroughly solvent as national banks, aud that many of them are in a fair way to bocome so.

It is in the nature of A quo warranto, and is entitloa T'he State ox rel James B. Heartwell ot al vs Henry Boardman et al, nnd the controversy which this is intended to settle arose in Hustings, Adams county. There is an institution thers known as the Nebraska Real Estate and Live Stock company, in which James B. Heart. well and Lis friends own about one-third ot the stock. Some time since there arose & difculty between Heartwell’s party and the balunce of the stockholders, ana they de- clared their intention of shutting Heartwoll out of a directorship. The Heartwell party began the study of the constitution of the state and were rewarded witn finding that section 5 of the article relating to miscel- laneous corporations provides for what is kuoown as a minority representation on the directory, and an inhivition that directors or managers shall not be elecved any other way. It also provides that the logislature shall provide by law for the oarrying out of the provisions of this seotion. This the logis- lature has neglected to do. But Heartwoll and his friends claim that this constitutional clauso coupled with the inbibition will pro- hibit any other method of election, 80 they cumulated their votes and elocted Jumes B. Hoartwell, O. . Heartwell and Augus Mc- 1d as directors, The majority of the directors, however, refuse to recognize them, claiming that as thero is no statute on the subject, the constitutional provision s fn- operative. Tho quo warranto proceedings will settlo the matter, and if the court holds with the Hoartwell party, the nimble six- peuce of the poor will have an even chance with the dollars of the rich in the manage- ment of corporate affairs in the future. An lmportant e An injunction suit was commenced in the supreme court to-day of very great im- portauce. It 1s well known that various counties have voted bonds under the new law extending the powaers of county commis- sioners, and that suits have been heard in Gage and Cass counties, one of which now pends in the supreme court, touching its con- stitutionality. The suit commenced to-dav in thav of Franklin P. Bonnell vs Nuckolls county and it attacks it at a new point. The relator seeks to restrain the county commis- sionors from issuing §35,000 of court house bonds because the act under which they were issued is unconstitutional. It violates sec- tion 11 of arti 3, and section 5 of article 9 of the constitution of the state, sets up the petitioner, and it 13 well known that parties outside of the state refuse to purchase bonds issued to build a court house, while 80 many actions are pending in the courts affecting their validity, and as & cloud upon the legul- aty of the issue of such bonds is made in all counties issuing tbem, the action is com- menced in the supreme court, under tho con- stitution giving jurisdiction to that court in all cases affecting the revenues. Attorney General Leese has been retained by the re- lator and will present the case to the court.
