Tux death of Hon, Johu T. Paulsen + willcause general regret in the com- munity. As state senator from Doug- Ins county at the last session of the leg- islature, he earned recoguition as an honest, self-made man, who labored for the best interests of his constituents. THE contract for the erection of Kear- ney’s great cotton mill, with a capacity of twenty-five hundred spindles, has Yeen duly signed. This is an event of importance to ull Nebraska, There is every indication that the enterprise will icaugurate a revolution in the in- dustrial progress of this state. DENVER'S city tr v is empty, and the place will have to go on short rations until Januavy 1, 1890. This will not, however, interfere seriously with the paving contractors, who propose to double the value of every Denver lot in twelve months if that city will mort- gage itself for a counle of millions, more or less, for asphalt and stone block pavements, _ Ty cordial invitation extended by Hon. G. W, Lininger to the commer- oial travelers to view his great art gal- lery will doubtless be appreciated. Among the many attractions in this city none will afford greater pleasure and satisfaction to cultured people, and for that matter to all classes, than Mr. Lininger’s great collection of puintings and statuary, . — WHAT might have develoved into an open rupture between the city council and the park commisiion, has been am- icably adjusted. While the council has no direct control over the commission it is only rigkt and proper that frequent conferences between the commission and the council committee on public grounds should be held and all impor- tant improvements connected with our park and boulevard system be concurred in before they are undertaken, e——— A CURIOUS complication has arisen in Canada in connection with the marriage with a deceased wife’s sister bill of 1882, Before the passage of the act several men married their sisters-in-law and the measure very charitably legalized such unions. Now one of the men for whose benefit the legalizing clause was ndded is trying to convince the courts that the enactment was irregular and that the lady with whom he has cohab- aed was not his wife. His cbject was 1o prevent the lady’s estate being held for his debts, As he wus one of the foremost agitators for the passage of the measure, he seems 10 be u proty mean sort of & man, OMINOUS OF TROUBLE. There is a condition of affairs in sev- eral of the southorn states which seri« ously wennces the peace of those com- munities. The reports that come from Migsissippi, Louisiana, West Virginia and South Curolina, show that the race issue in those states has reached a phase when very little provocation on the part of either the whites or the negroes would precipitate a conflict the conse- quences of which might be terrible. Thet both racesnre consciousof thisstute of affairs is indicated by the expressions of prominent men and newspapers, as well as by the extreme. sensitiveness of the authorities whenever there is the shightest local disturbance, or even a threatof one. Thus when Governor Towry, of Mississippi, was notified a fow days ago that trouble wasappro- hended at Greenwood, in that state, on account of the alleged threat of negroes to destroy the town, he wvromptly left for the seat of dangor, taking with him a cpmpany of soldiers, and subse- quently calling to that point two more companies. Similarly the authorities of West Virginia wade prompt preparation for quelting a threatened outbreak of negroes. The fuet that a rumor is sufficient to cause the governor of & e to put the power of the commonwealth into motion im- mediately is evidence of the deep-seated distrust that ists, and which would seem to be steadily growing stronger. This most unfortunate and unhappy condition cannot coniinue without sooner or later developing a rupture of the most deplorable character. The lires of race hostility cannot be kept always pent up. Unless there is a radi- cal change in the relations of the races, particularly in vespect of establishing political equality, a conflict may be de- layed, but can not be permanently averted. The negroes are growing rap- idly in numbers, and also in intelli- gence. The new generation since slavery is fully aware of its rights, and disposed to maintain them. The next generation will more strongly in upon having these rights ncknowledged and respected. Imbued with a higher conception of the value and the duties of eitizenship than the men of to-day, the negroes of twenty-five years hence will not tamely submit to a denial of their civil and political rights. They will be taught that there is no higher duty than to fight, if need be, for those privileges which are guaranteed them by the con- stitution of their country, and that they cannot sacrifice these without debase- ment which would invite other forms of wrong, abuse and oppression. With his advance in enlightenment, which caonot be stayed, the negro must ivevitably grow in self- respect, in patriotism, and in the con- sciousness of deserving the rights that have been bestowed upon him in com- mon with all other citizens. Learning more fully how large a factor his race has been in the work of national de- velopment, and the valuable part it played in presorving free institutions, he wilt demand that recognition which justice and the law give him warrant to demand, and he will seek to enforce it by every menns at his command—by ap- peal and argument until these shall be demonstrated to be of no avail; by force when that shall appear to be the only resort, ? It would seem that the dominant po- litical element in the south must see the inevitable and logical outcome of the policy it is pursuing toward the negro vace. But it is concerned only for the prosent, and will let the future take care of itself. It is sufficient for 1t that the prejudices of to-day are fed and gratified, and instead of addressing iwself seriously and honesily to a just solution of the overshadowing prob- lem, it discusses utopian and im- cable schemes for getting of the negro. Thus one of its most distinguished leaders, Sena- tor Hampton, suggests that some plan the negroes, and is quoted as having said that he would favor an expenditure by the government of fifty million dollavs to carry ouv such a plan. But the negroes could not be colonized unless they are willing to be, and it is not probable that more than a small mi- nority of them would accept expatria- tion. They are proverbially strong in their attachment for their native place, and as there is no power in the national govern- ment, or in the states to remove them, comparatively few could be induced to leave their homes. Butif it were as- sured that the great majority would ac- cept a scheme of colonization why should the country be asked to exile a large body of its citizens because they are refused their rights through the prejudice and injustice of anovher body of citizens? Is it not obvious that such a plan would do violence fo every prin- ciple upon which our government and our political system are based? The way to a solution of the race problem is the way which justice points out, If the dominant element in the south would respect the constitution and laws of the country most of the more serious difficulties of the race issue would speedily disappear, and such as remamned would not be a menace to the peace and security of society., But there is not the least chance that they will do this. The men who come after them may, but those of to-day will con- tinue to make their prejudices the guide of their conduet in reckless indifference 1o possible consequences. KNOCKING AT THE DOOR. Idaho has framed a state constitution, and will ask congress to provide for her admission tostatehood. The constitu- tional conveuntion of Wyoming is now in session, and that tervitory will also ask to be made a state by the next con- gress. Arizona and Now Mexico are taking the preliminary steps in the same direction, Thus at least two and perhaps four of the remaining territo- vigs will appeal to- the Fifty-first con- gress for statehood. It is quite possible that Utab also will be heard from with a like demand, The estimated population of the five territories is: Arizoua, fifty thousand; Wyoming, eighty-five thousand; Iaaho, one hundred thousand; New Mexico, oue huudred and sixty thousand, and THE OMAHA ’DAILY B : WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBE ——— Utah, two hundred and ten thousand. [ The pregent decision holds to the It will be seen from these figures, which are probably high enough, that only Utah and New Mexico have a sufficient population to entitle them to a repre- sentative in congress under the present ratio of representation, while with the expected ratio, based upon the new census, only Utah would be eligible to statéhood. It is not probable that Utah will be made astate until the control of affairs there has passed out of Mormon hands, and as to New Mexico alarge part of its population is not fit to be charged with the privileges, duties and responsibili- ties of statehood. Tt is a foreign ele- ment which does not readily assimilate, and is naturally and traditionally un- favorable to our political systom. It is not at all probable that either Utah or New Mexico will gat favorable consid- eration from the next congress as ap- plicants for statehood. Apart from the question of population in the case of the other territories, there is another important considera- tion as to at least one of them—Ari- zonn. Not only is the estimated popu- lation of that territory less than one- third of the present ratio of reprosenta- tion, but the condition of her resources for supporting a state government is far from satisfactory. The experience with Nevada will doubtless be conclu- sive against the appeal of Arvizona for present statehood. . The prospect for Wyoming and Idaio is favorable, The population of both these territories is ot a superior class, and both have resources, the develop- ment of which would enable them to support state governments. Bspecially is this true of Wyoming, regarding whose extensive and varied resources we recontly gave the facts presented in an official form, by the territorial offi- cers, Wyoming is advancing in popu- lation and material development more rapidly than any of the other territo- ries, and it is not doubted that the next consus will show her population to be at least one hundred thousand. There is no good reason why Wyoming should not bocome a state within the next two years. The desire of the people of the terri- tories for statehood 1s commendable, but congress should put aside all con- siderations of politics or expediency and admit only such as have the resources which assure growth and prosperity. WELCOME DRUMMERS. This is Drummers’ day. The knights of the grip have come from the high- ways and byways and like a mighty army have taken the town by storm. And well may Omaha capitulate to their grand assault, Two-thirds of the business of the country is solicited through their agency. They have be- come a powerful factor and a distinctive feature of the commercial world. They have brought the wures of the Atlantic to the buyers of the Pacific and have made the United States cosmopolitan in tastes, and a unit in business relations. This city is especially indebted to her own loyal contingent of the great army. The Omaha drummer, like the pioneer of early days, has blazed a way for the trade ot our merchants. Through his activity and pluck the great state of Nebraska, the heart of the Black Hills, the towns and cities nestled under the shadow of the Rocky mountains, tho plains and vailevs of dis- tant Utah pay tribute to the jobbers of this city. The Omaha drummer is a con- queror wherever he sets foot. Ho car- ries and glorifies the name of Omaha on his banner in the four corners of the west. It is meet, therefore, that this day be set apart to ceiebrate the vie- tories of this soldier of trade. Nor will the Omaha drummer be alone in his festivities. From the metropolis of the country, from the cities and towns of the state, recruits have come singly and in clans to join with himina proper recognition of the occasion. Omaha appreciates the compliment. The spirit of good fellowship dominating the rank and file of the traveling men, the en- ergy and enterprise characteristic of this army, ave traitsof manhood which the peopie of Omaha have long learned to admire. The drummers who take part in to-day’s festivities are doubly welcome. The town is theirs, THE NATURAL INFERENCE. Chief Seavey may not have a master- key that will unlock the doors of rooms in which faro banizers are doing a rush« ing business, but he can, if he only would, make forcible entrance, as he has done in-other unlawful resorts. Police- men in disguise have worked their way into the back doors of saloons ou Sun- day, und policemen in uniform have broken into private rooms of people who occupy flats on the mero suspicion that people not licensed to marry were liv- ing together. Why could not police- men also make an occasional raid upon notorious gambling dens? They have done it time and again in Chicago where the laws against gambling are not so rigid. The most charitable con- struction that can be put upon the con- duct of the police in this connection is that the gamblers have influential friends at headquarters. THE EVE) The great trades procession and drummers’ parade will, weather per- mitting, be the event of the wéek. The merchants and manufacturers of Omaha are determined to make a demoustra- tion that will be worthy of the metrop- olis of Nebraska and commereial center of the Missouri valley. The wmagnitude of our jobbing and ndustrial interests can only be faintly appreciated even by people who have resided here for years. A concentration of all these varied mercantile and manufac- turing enterprises in our streets will impress visitors and citizens what Omaba is doing and what a tremendous amount of energy and enterprise she can exert. = —— THE decision of Judge Thayer, of the United States circuit court at St. Louis, to the effect that the counterfeiting of the union label used on cigar boxes 1s not iilegal, will cause great surprise to the cigur trade. On previous occasions the opiniousof judges huve been that the union label is in the nature of a trade murk, which can not be infringed. contrafy, ‘and the label is therefore worthlgsg as a protection to the union cigarmakers against inferior and non- union made goods. The ruling of Judge Thayet, 'thoreover, 18 likoly to have a wider significance and application, It the “union cigarmakers’ label is of no,yplue, it must follow that the labels of wnon hatters, and other trades organizations, which make use of the distinctive brand to mark their wares, are likawike worthless, It behooves the trades organizations to protect their in- torosts by ‘ndopting distinctive trade- marks us prescribed by law.

There was a special meetiag of the park commission yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. It was occasioned by the receipt by mail of the skeleton working plans for Hanscom park from Architect Cleveland, They were carefully cousidered adopted. Work will begin immediately . The work was formally ordered upon the sloping off of the south end of Hanscom park by contract, and for the widening and im- provement of roadways by days' work, Mr, Cloveland was requested to complete the de- tails of the general skeleton plan, which has been in the Lands of the commission in large part for two or three weeks, and which was completed yesterday. On motion of Chairman Miller, the super- intendent of the park was instructed to pro- vide for taking from the Capitol avenuo flower beds a number of the flowers and plants and transplant them in the Hanscom park conservatory. The superintendent was also directed to repair the old conservatory of Hanscom pack for the care of these plants. This action was takeo after it was clearly shown that it would be a measure of decided econ- emy for the purposes of Hanscom park, The most important business transacted yesterday wus the understanding urrived at between the commission and the council committee on public grounds and buildings, This committee met the park commission by avpointment and presented a resolution to which Tie Bee recenily referred, request- ng the commission Lo subunt to the muyor and city council all plans for cutting trees, grading and otherwise improving Hanscom park before anything should be done in thut direction, Atter a full discussion of the matter, an intorpretation was given to the resolution by the park comumission, and_an _interprova- tion was also given by the council comuitiee disclaiming anythiog dictatorial, It was finally decided by the Park com- wission, and Judge Lake was asked to put the decision in writing to-day to the effect that the board would dechine under the terms of the resolution to submit their action to the city council, but that they shouid be glad of the go-operation of the city council in an nformal way, but the commission could not conecede any authority to the council 1 the premises. The understandiog arrived at seemed to be entirely satisfuctory to the members of the couneil committee, and also to the mem- bers of the park commission. Informuily it was decided that frequent conferences may be had and suggestions offered and acted upon. 4 Has and it e A Vigor, vitality and a healthy appe- tite, imparted by u little Angostura Bitters every morning.

A Spirited Young Lady Compels Her Detractor to Retract—Dr. Gars ten's Madstone—Stato Fair Notes. 100 P Staeer LiNcoLy, Sept. 8. Last evening at Mrs, Hubbard’s boarding house at 1920 P street, which is largely pat- ronized by students of the business college, Miss Katie Hickey, a handsome blonde of eighteon ked up to W. B. Reddish, late city cireniator of the Kveuing News and pulling a new revolver from the folds of her skirt and pointing ths muzzle at his head commanded him to drop on his knoes. Red- dish dropped. Sho then told him that she understood that ho had been telling storics 1o the effect that he had boen criminally fo- timato with her, and demanded & retraction, He replied while still on his knoes: “I never had any causo to say so and I do take it back." Mrs. Hubbard fearing that the reputation of hor house was 1n danger, begged of those presont thut they would suppress the affair, which was done for a time, but this morning it lenked out, and Tue Bee correspondent called on Miss Hickey, who frank ly and un- 1y tld her story. She said sho had known Reddish some two months, and while realizimg that he bore a bad name she, as well as the other girls who patronizod the place, always had treated him civilly, He had asked her to €0 With him to various places of entertain- ment and she had refased. The boys had asked him about getting the mitten and she supposed he had told this faise and slander- ous story o set himsolf right with them.
