The fact denotes that the class of new citizens are men -of means who desire and are willing to pay for first-class homes.

I1 15 well to keep an eye on the grad- ing contractors whe have a way of tearing up sidewalks and forgetting to repluce them in as good condition as they were before. A damage suiv or two by injured property cwners will bring some of these contractors to terms. OMAHA is encroaching on Chicago territory, and day by day reaches for stock regions heretofore claimed ex- clusively by the latter market. A ship- ment of seventeen cars of cattle, & day or two ngo, from points on the Illinois Central contiguous to Sioux City, indi- cates that Omaha is decidedly the best market for western cattle. - S——————— It is stated that the treasury depart- ment is framing a draft for & new tariff bill, which will have the administra- tion’s support behind it when it is sub- mitted to congress at its next session, Nothing is known of the lines of revis- lon that will be followed, but several in- consistencies of the Mills bill will prob- ably be corrected. Tariff revision based on our present industrial condition and material growth can not safely be put off much longer.

Mrs. Maybrick will not dis by the gallows. The British home secrotary, an able lawyer, after a most careful study of the evidence in the case, found rensons to justify a commutation of sen- tence to penal servitude for life. Tho | unfortunato woman has been prostrated since her conviction and sentence to death, The action of the home secre- tary may have an elfect upen her more | salutary than all the skill of the doctors. In being rescued from the valley of | the shadow of death, and given hope of further clemency in the course of time, there may come a reaction that will re- store her to complete health. Fnglish jastice will gain in the re- spect of the world by the action of the home secretary. The trial of Mrs. May- brick was in some respects so extraordi- nary as to challenge criticism from the most intelligent and conservative Eng- lishmen, while in this country there has been nothing but condemna- tion of it. The remarkable charge of the judge seemed plainly to show that the court was strongly prejudiced aguinst the prisoner. It was in effect an order to the jury to convict. Another extraordinary fact was the freedom allowed the jury, in reading the newspuper reports and opinions and discussing the case with individuals. So far as the jury was concerned the trial was little better than a farce. pwhere in this country would a jury having the life of an ac- cused person in its power be al- lowed to do what was permit- ted to this Inglish jury, and it was probably without precedent in BEngland. Itis presumed these ox- traordinary features of the trial had a material influence in determining the action of the home secretary. They were cortainly most potent in inducing the tens of thousands of signatures to asking a commutation of sentence. No criminal case has ever excited a more general intevest throughout Eng- land than this, and had the death sen- tence been carried out the popu- lar denunciation of the govern- ment would have been greater than has been known in many years. It is not questionable that the government would have lost thousands of friends, while the course taken will doubtless gain itfriends. At any rate it will not nave weakened itself in the popular regard. The home secretary, also, has improved his elaim to public respect and confidence. He gave to this case careful, tborough and conscien- tious study, and there is every reason to belicve that his action was prompted neither by the public demand nor by sentiment, but by a full conviction that justice required it. Mrs. Maybrick has friends and re- sources, and if ‘she recovers her health and a way can be found to prove that she did not poison her husband, doubt- less no effort will be spared to establish her innocence. But as a celebrated case that has commanded an unusual degree of popular attontion and dis- cussion, it will now speedily pass from public consideration, a condition which it may be assumed will be especiaily satisfuctory to the remarkable judge and jury who tried the case. PROTECTION OF FEDERAL JUDGES. The question of providing special pro- tection for federal judges is naturally suggested by the California tragedy. A writer in the New York Sun, whom we assume from the initials to his com- munication to be George Ticknor Cur- tis, the distinguished lawyer, discusses this question, observing that it is very evident that there are regions of coun- try within the United States in which the judges of the federal courts need special protection from violence at the hands of persons whom it has been their judicial duty to punish, or to decide adversely the litigations in which such persons have been engaged. Mr. Curtis fully approves of the in- structions given by the attorney gen- eral of the United States to the marshal of Californin. to protect the pecson of Judge Field by aspecial guard. Inthe absence of a statute providing for such protection of the federal justices, he remarks, it is the plain duty of the de- partment of justice, when a particular judge is known to be in peril from a lawless person, to detail a gaard for his protection. There could be no more suitable guard than a deputy of the marshal. California is not, says Mr. Curiis, or was not on the day of this occurrence, a state in which the attorney general of the United States could rely on the state authori- ties to protect the person of Judge Field, under all the circumstances by which he has been surrounded since he punished Terry for an outrageous con- tempt of court. The instructions under which the deputy marshal acted will, in the opinion of Mr. Curtis, furnish no defense for Nagle when he is put on trial for killing Terry, but the event, he thinks, ought to furnish a reason why the people of the United States should provide, by act of congress, for the protection of the presence of federal judges wherever they ape. Mr. Curtis says it is undoubtedly within the constitutional competency of congress to pass a law for this purpose. The power to establish courts of the United States, to appoint judges, and to define their functions, clearly includes a power to take any necessary and proper measures to enable them to discharge their functions in safety. Such a statute, sug- gests Mr. Curtis, should make every as- sault on a federal judge, committed be- cause of anything that he is doing or has done in his official duties, pun- ishable in the federal courts alone, and provision should be made 1in the law for the removal into a federal court of any indictment or other proceeding instituted in a state court. The pun- ishment for such assaults should be far heavier than in ordinary cases, and when the case amounts to an assault with intent to kill the punishment should not be less than imprison- ment for life. It is intolerable, con- cludes Mr. Cartis, that the federal judges should not be able to discharge their functions without taking their lives in their hands. It is to be expected that sowe such law as is thus suggested will be pro- posod in congress, and very likely there would be no serious opposition to | it. The American people have s pro- found regard for the judicial branch of the government, and any mensure nec- ossary to give its officials complete socur- ity while in discharge of their functions will be approved. But there is in this vory faot of & universal deep-sented re- spect for the federal judiciary a souree of protection which to many will seem ample with such safeguards as are al- ready provided. This California inc dent was without precedent in our his- tory. In the hundred years of the life of the supreme court of the United States no member of it, so far as we are aware, was ever before threatened with violence, and certainly none was ever personally assaulted. Ina century there has appeared but one man with a dis- position so lawloss, reckless and vindictive as to publicly attack a justice of the supreme court, and unless it be admitted that the popular respect for the federal judiciary is deteriorating a parallel to this case may not happen in unother contury. Certainly such an ad- mission ean not be made in view of the nearly unanimous popular verdiet upon tho killing of Terry. While, thorofore, there may be uo serious objection to special legislation for, the protection of fedoral judges, it may be doubted whether there is any real urgency for it. A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Thecattle and hog growers of western Towa have every reason to be pleased with the announcement made that the tolls between Council Bluffs and the South Omaha stockyards have been ar- ranged on a basis of four dollars a car load. The order takes effect at once, and shippers will not fail to take advan- tage of these reduced freight rates im- mediately. It has long been a ground for com- plaint by the Towa stockmen that despite the fact that a profitable market exists at Omaha they have been discouraged by the high ralroad rates and inconventenced by the irreg- rservice from shipping their stock 0ss the Missouri river. The reason uch discrimination by the railroads is apparvent. It is to their advantage to carry cattle and hogs to Chicago and benefit by the long haul. The new order which has just gone into effoct giving the farmersof Iowa equal facilities to ship to that market which offers the best inducements has been brought about by the force of cir- cumstances. But it is mainly due to the growing importance of Omaha as a cat- tle and pork packing center. Within the past few weeks the receipts of live stock have been unusually heavy while the prospects for an en- larged market in the future growing out of the extension of the buef and pork packing plantsare most promising. Credit, however, is due for the speedy realization of the long promised freight reduction and improved transportation facilities to the directors of the Union Stock yards and especially to Acting President Babcock. Thoroughly con- versant with the transportation question in all its details, and alive to the necessities of Omaha stock interests, Manager Babeock has been able to pave the way for greater benefits. A step bas been taken in the right direction. The reduction of rates and theimproved transfer facilities are but the entering wedge to cheapar and speedier connec- tions with Omaha. SECRETARY WINDOM proposes to in- ject a Little of civil service rules in the method of appointing special agents of the treasury. . Herenfter candidates for theso positions will be obliged to stand up before a board of examiners and tesiify to their fitness. The treasury department has been handicapped for years by the appointment of men in- capacitated by age or other infirmities from assuming vhe duties of special agents. Thoe position was one of the soft snaps sought after by superanuated politicians, because there they could draw a comfortable salary without exer- vion. It was highly necessary for the secretary of the treasury to veform this branch of the service before it became useless through dry rot. VILLARD has worked his scheme to load the Northern Pacific with aone hundred and sixty-five million dollar blanket morteage, provided he can ne- gotiate the paper. The roud only owes one hundred and twenty million dol- lurs, and the creation of forty millions additional debt is a curious piece of financiering which needs an explana- tory key for its solution.

MiLWwAUR August 22.—(Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee.]—The papers in what promises to be onc of the most sensational suits tried in the Miiwaukee courts huve been filed with the clerk of the county court. The case is that of Miss Elizabeth Carter against George Riles, a well known politician and railroad and lumber man, and is brought to recover $15,000 damages for breach of prom- ise. The complaint is a voluminous docu- ment of a thousand words or more, and in it the complainant sets forth very clearly the cause of complaint, and details very min- utely her life spent, as the wife of the aged defendant, Sn wes she first becane ac- quainted with him in 1505, when she was in ber nincteenth year, She was then living in the village of New Lisbon, in Juneau county, and engaged in pleasant and profitable em: ployment. Soon after the meeting Mr. iles, representing himself to be an unmar- ed man, commenced paying w: atten- t'on to her,exvressing great personal admira- tion for her, professing to be in love with her, and finally making her sn offer of mar- ringe. She confesses she was fattered by and pleased with the attentions he showed her, and gave a wiling ear to his compli- ments, aceepted his offer of marringe, and permittea him to set the day on which the wedding was to take place, Before the day arrived, however, she al- leges, relying upon his promises, believing himto be a truthful nan und a man of honor, she ailowed him privileges such as are sanc- tioned by luw only between persons lawfully wedded. He then prevailed upon her to give up her home, friends and business, and live with him us his wife, promising as soon as certain business trausact in which he was involved could be straightened out, he would fulfill bis promise and marry her. Again, believing him to be n man of honor, sie consented, and they lved together in Milwaukee, Chicago, San Francisco and other place a8 husband and wife until Angust, 1875, when she discovered her procrastinating husband had another wife living and she left him to rewrn to New Lisbon, again to engage in business. Just two years later she said he again sought her out, told her that in a very short time he would be freed from all allegiance to his other wife, and besought her to assume her former relations. To prove she still bad confidence in his honor, she consented until January, 1856, lived with him, found he would not do as he agreed and left him, and now demands §15000 as a recompenso for her disappointment, wreck of her hopes, ambition aud prospects in life, and for services ren- dered, ‘The case will be tried in the circuit court and in all probubilities attract a great deal'of attention.
