If David will pay a visit to Nebraska a year from next win- ter when our legislature is in session, he will be inclined to excuse any action, however violent. which a long suffering public may feel disposed to inflict on that honorable body. Junar MCCONNELL, of Chicago, who is trying the celebrated Cronin case, seems to have despuired of ever being able to geva jury of imbeciles such as the lawyers engaged in the case appear to want. If the judge finally gets through with the case he will at least have carned the reputation of a stayer and receive thunks accordingly. THEmanagers of tae Union Pacificand and B, & M. railroads should not be too finical about the width of the viaduet. They scem to forget that the city hs the right to direct what kind of via- duct they shall build over their tracks, and if the city is to contribute one hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars toward the cost of the proposed union depot, the railroad companies can well afford to build a broad and substantia! viaduct that will be used for their benefit much more thun for that of the public. There is such a thing as being too greedy in driving a bargain, —ee IF, as Armour claimed before the dressed beof committes, he only real- ized about thirty-three cents profit on each stoer he sluughtered, and he is worth twenty million dollars, as psople believe, he has been a terribly hard- worked man indeed, Having made all bas money during the past fifteen years, he must have slaughtered thirteen thousand three hundred and thirty-two head of cattle a day in order toaccumu- late the fortune credited to him. Mr. Armour certainly deserves great praise for adopting and using the shopman’s motto: ‘Small profits and quick re- turns.” BEE: GRAND ARMY EXPRESSIONS. Opinions of representative mon of the Grand Army of the Republic regarding the rotirement of Tanner, while ex- prossing unabated confidence in the in- tegrity and good intentions of the ex- commissioner, very generally have no eriticism to make upon the attitude of Secretary Noble and the action of the president. A few have insisted that it was the duty of the administration to have sustained Tanner, and some of these are threatening in their expros- sions, but the large majority of those who have talked on the subjent take the position that the retirement of Tanner had under the circumstances become a necessity, equally demanded by the interests of the old soldiers and to pre- vent further embarrassmont to the ad- ministration. The men who take this view are, it is to be presumed, not less friendly to the old eoldiers, or loss concerned for their welfare, than are the men who are dis- pleased with the retirement of Tanner. It might fairly be claimed, indeed, that they are more friendly, or that their friendship is tempered with a better discretion. The; sce that the course which was being pursued by the ox-commissioner, however worthy the motive that prompted it, could not have been sustained without bringing the pen- sion service under such adverse crit cism as would inevitably have resulted to the disndvantage of those who are i beneficiar It is unquestionable the growth of public sentiment unfavor- able to the methods of Tanuner was be- ginning to affect very many people who haye been the most friendly to a gener- ous policy in behalf of the old soldiers, and it is not to be doubted that had Tanner been permitted to remain and continue in the course he was pursuing, thousands of these would have been arrayed in opnosition to him and to the adminis- tration. It will undoubtedly be far better in the ead for the old soldiers that this danger has been averted. Those who are disposed to find with the action of the president appear toforget that both he and the secretary of the interior are themselves old sol- diers and that their friendship for and intorest in the men who fought with them to preserve the union is ardent and earnest as any can huve. The record of Presi- dent Harrison as a consistent and sincere advoeate of a liberal pension policy should be sufficient to prevent any question regarding his presentaiti- tudein this matter, and is a complete answer to those who criticise his course rogarding Tanuer. As in apvointing Tanner he believed he doing what would prove to be for the best interests of the old soldier, so in asking the com- missioner toretire when he was found wanting in every essential qualificution, he has acted with reference to the wel- fare of the old soldiers. Having to choose between an official who desired to proceed within the requirements of the law and one who was disposed to be indifferent to legal conditions and re- straints, the president. his duty and obligations to the people demunded, preferred the former. Every old soldier, remembering that the president is as much a comrade as the ex-commis- sioner, and has always been as earnost fault man afriend of thersoldier, should refuse to entertain adoubt that in this pension office matter he has acted from the sin- cerest desire to shield the service from adanger which threatened to prove seriously nimical to those for whose benefit it was instituted. SENATOR SHERMAN AT HOME, The Ohio association of Washington gave Senator Sherman a reception on his roturn from Europe which is said to have been the greatest in point of num- bers ever tendered a public man in Washington by the citizens of his state. Iu attested the high rerard in which the senator is held by his constituents, after more than thirty-five yoars given to their service in congress and the cabinet. It showed, also, that the efforts made in the absence of the distin- guished senator to injure him in th confidence of the republicans of O have 1 no effe There is noreason to doubt that he stands as firmly and strongly to-day in the respect of his constituents as at any period of his long and useful.public career, In his speech Senator Sherman said that no American can travel anywhere without having a stronger love and affection for his native land. It is a good thing, he said, to go abroad to ex- perience the sensation excited by the flag or by everything that reminds us of our country. But while we boast in America of the rapid progress we have made in growth, population, wealth and strength, it is equally true that some of the oldest nations in the world are now keeping pace with us in indus- try, progress, and even in liberal in- stitutions. Kverywhere in these old countries the spirit of nationalism is growing stronger and stronger. He had noticed that everywhere in Europe Americans are liked and respected, the chief reuson being that they are im- partinl. Senator Sherman referred to some of the contrasting conditions be- tween Buropean countries and this country, all of which are in our favor. The chief interest in the return home o of Senator Sherman relates to the part he will take in the Ohio campaign, which he is expected to enter ut an early day. Already a center of political interest, the .cam- paign in Ohio will doubtless gain in general attention when Senator Shoer- man enters the fight, for he is expectad to make ono of the greatest battles of his political > He has been charged with having always sought to prevent the election to the United States senate of a republic and this year the central motive and chief purpose of the Ohio campaign 1s the choice of a legislature that willelect a republican senator to succeed Henry 0 colleague, B. Payne. The attitude Senator Sherman will undoubtedly take ro- gording this issue will be a complete answer to the charge that has been made against him, and, besides this, his work in the campaign will doubtless be such as to refute the inti- matious that he nurses personal griev- ances. As Senator Shermau said at his recoption, he is a republican because he believes the polioy of that party will best promote the strength and pros- perity of the country, and, having al- ways in the past shown himsolf ready to advocate and ‘defend that policy, he will not be found less will- ing to do so mow, when his party in his own state is en- gaged in a most important and vital campnign upon which the political in- terest of the whole country is centered. The only Ohioans who will not welcome the return of Senator Sherman aro the democrats, and none will rogret his ap- pearance in the campaign so keenly as the veteran senator who is on trial be- fore the people on the charge of having corruptly obtained his seat—Henry B. Payne. LET OMAHA RESPOND. Our advices from Washington indi- cate that the proposed visit of the inter- national Amorican congress to this city depends on circumstances, Mre. Will- iam E. Curtis, who is in charge of the excursion, has intimated very broadly to the vepresontative of Tue Buie at ‘Washington that unless something is done by the Omaha board of trade and our commereial club to organize a proper reception of the party, this city will be dropped from the list of places to be visited. Now it seems to us that Omaha cannot afford to turn the cold shoulder to the international con- gress. A visit from this pi alone would be an advertisinent worth thousands of dollars to this city. The delegation is composed not only of ropresentative men from the three Americus, but of members of the press whom Omahn ought to cultivate. Ivery dolinr expended for entertaining this distinguished pacty would be re- aid a thousand fold. Tt is of the ut- most importance that action be taken at once so that Mr. Curtis may be able to know definitely that the excursionists will receive due considerationand atten- tion and that their visit will be made an object lesson of the resources of thissoc- tion and its industrial development. AN BIGHT MILLION JOB. There was o time when intelligent people could be made tobelieve that the Missouri river would bocome a powerful competitor of the railrondsin transport- ing products of this section to the At- lantic seaboard. That time has gone by. Everybody with a thimbloful of brains knows that the railroads would carry the bulk of all our grain, cattle and merchandise, even if the ouri had a channel fifty feet deop. The decadence of river routoe com- petitors of railroads may be seen by any visitor to Cincinnati, Louisville or St. Louis. Where hundreds of steame formerly went up and down the Ohio end Mississippi rivers laden with travelers and merchandise there are now scarcely half a dozen boats in active service. All that can or should be done to improve the Missour: river is being done now in the way of riprap- ping banks in front of towns and cities. The money expended for remov- ing bars, deepening channels and puli- ing out snags, would be an absolute waste. It will be eacouraged by job- bing contractors and engincers, who want asoft place on Uncle Sam’s pay voll, but no congressman will be justi- fied in voting an appropriation for such a reckless waste of the people’s money. We are told by a contemporary that “the project of making and keeping the Missouri river navigable is not an enthusiast’s dream, but that the govern- ment engineer who has been in charge of Missouri river improyements for years has said in plain words that for eight million dotlars the Missouri river can be made navigable from Sioux City to 1ts mouth, and & twelve-foot channel maintained at all times.” Suppose that this eagineer’s estimate is correct, which we very much doubt, who would want to spend eight millions of dollars for such a wild-cat scheme? You can buiid a four-track railroad from ux City to St. Louis for less than eight millions. Such a road would always be “navigable,” while the Missouri river would be frozen solid six months of the year. If Uncle Sam wants to give us cheap transportation to the mouth of the Missouri we should - of a prefer, by all means, a donati v ailrond up and down the river. Like the Texus desp water harbor scheme, this making the Missouri river gable is only another name for opening the sluice-gates of the national treasury JUDGE (IROFF'S APPOINIMENT. The appointment of Hon. Lewis A. Groff as commissioner of the general land oflice reflects great credit upon the judgment of President Harrison and Secrotary Noble. No man men- tioned for that responsible position would have brought to the task devolv- ing upon him abilities of such high order, coupled with unswerving integ- rity and keen appreciation of the trust reposed in him. In Nebraska and throughout the great and growing west where Judge Groff is known, his selectiou at the head of the national land office will give un- bounded satisfaction. Nebraska, espe- cially, has reason tofeel grateful for the tangible proof given by the president that her claims are entitled to recogni- tion. While the citizens of Omaha, and the people of this judicial district,will regret to part with Judge Groff, who has proven himself one of the most con- soientious and eflicient judges, they will all rejoice that the judge has been honored with a call that will give him a broader scope for his talents, and place him in position to protect the public domain from the rapacity of speculators and land-grabber Tug failure of the project for a grand exhibit of American cornat the Paris oxposition is more to be regretted than the failure in other respeets of the American exhibit, It was the best op- portunity ever offered to show to the world what can be done with buman food, and s0 good a chance is a0 likely to oceur again in many year: is not doubted that had suck of our maize product Paris as it was wmake, and Europeans the exposition been corn as a made proposed w been visiting inswruc TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1889, in making the varions palatable foods that can be m#dsfrom corn, the effect would soon have heen made apparent in the increased dxport of that coreal. Tt was certainly thost desirable that an ef- fort be made to enlarge the European demand for out corn, and a liberal ex- penditure fot'thls purpose would un- questionably have boen many timos re- paid. When it is remembered that millions of the pobrer classes of Europo aro compolled to use most of the time a poor quality of rye and barley bread, whon for the same cost, or less, they might use American corn to make corn bread, Indfan ma2al, hominy, and the other nourishing and palatablo pro- ducts with which American tables are familiar, the question of introducing our corn more largely into Burope has asido of philanthropy as woll as one of business. Our largest export of corn to Burope in any one year was sixty-three million bushels, in 1886. Last yoar the amount exported was only twonty-four million bushels, Had the right effort been made it is not improb- able that one hundred million bushels of this yoar’s crop could have been sent to Kurope. HE new steel cvuiser Baltimore, which mado a trial trip beginning on last Wednesday and terminating Sun- day, exhibited the best time for a vessel of her tonnage everattained. The data taken recordod 20 2-10 knots per hour for a three hours run. While there has been a great deal of disparagement of the character of the American navy, it seems to have been made without regard to the new ships built, ‘and while the old vessels are not first class, the more rocent ones now appear to be the best, at loast in the matter of speed, that any nation in the world posse; .

In contradistinction to this condit- ion of affairs comes the report from 1 land based upon the recent manceuvres of the British naval fleet. The fail- ure to realize the degree of speed at which the ships wore rated was a great disappointment to the English off 'S, but in every i s the ships made no- where near the vime claimed for them.

The new cruisers Chicago, Boston, At- lanta and Baltimore are now the best oxamples of fast war vessels. If Eng- land, which elaims to be the leading maritime power 1n’the world, will give heed to the superiority of our navy, the character of English vessels may at least be brought up to a better stand- ard. SEVEN million bules of cotton were produced in the south last vear. The outeome of the present season promises tobe larger, as southern mills now consume about one-quarter of the crop, while the balance goes to New England and Great Britain. As afew years ago the south manufactured but little or no cotton goods, the indications point to the conclusion that she will eventually absorb nearly ail of the product.

My own time was taken up with renewing the friendshins and acquaintanceships that date back thirty nd cover a period of my boyhood and rly manhood. Among those persons was W. N. Halderman, the principal proprietor of the Louisville Couricr-Journal. ilalderman | and myself had boarded in the same privato family at Nashville for thre in tho winte of 1862, when he was known as the editor of the Louisville-Bowling Green ashville - Mur- freesboro-Atlanta-Courier-on-Wheels, At that time he had wheeled his movable paper as far as the Tennessce capital, and ho never stopped moving until Sherman bad captured Atlan id made further moving rather uncomfortable. 1 had not met Hal derman until last summer on & lake stoame near Detroit, in which the Associated pross | held its annual meeting, The vigerous mid. dle-aged man had become a gray-haired and ather feeble old man, But he i meautime achieved marvelous success @S 4 mOWSDAD 13, nsolidating his Courier with tho Louis. ville Journal, founded by George 1. Pren- tice, ho has established the st influential and widely circulated daily in the south—the Courier-Journal. At the Cou ournal building, which is the most spacious and best equipped news- paper building in the south, I found Mr. Halderman and was entertained by manager his staft, of whom Henry Watterson fs the editorial head, The Louisville Commercial club, made up of the most progressive and substantial busi- ness olements, tendered tho socioties the hospitality of Louisville, and mombers of the club accompanied the telegraphers in over forty carringes and two tallyhoos in a drive over the city, While 1 had some idea about the woalth and wsolidity of Louisville, I must 1 was very agrocably dis- appointed by the evidences of thrift, taste and enterprise that met us on all hands, Louisville is not only a great jobbing and money centor, but sho is rapidly becoming & great manufacturing point. According to & pamphloet issued by the Commercial club last June, Louisville now has 1,350 manufactur« ing establishments, turning out annually products valued at $65,000,000. She has four plow factories, including tao largest in the world, hich alono gives employment to 2,000 wirkmen, twonty-nine iron foundrio largo cement works, broworles, woolen miils, taunorios, ete, Aftor driving through broad thorougnfares, lined with palatial res- idouces and beautiful lawns, we wero invited to get out in front of Weissingor's mammoth tob factory. Our party was escorted through ail the departiments and shown all the processes by which tho tobacco loaf is converted into the juicy navy plug and the fragrant Havana. 1 must candidly confoss that if 1 had boen aduicted to tho tobaceo habit I would certainly *‘swear off” after witnessing the pecaliar way in which vhe tobacco passes through the hands of little and big darkies of various shades of color. But Mr. Weissinger's tobacco has achieved & celebrity which ean not be affected by uny undue sen- sitiveness on the part of visitors. At any rate the impression made upon the tele- graphers by Mr. \Weissinger was decidedly favorable and lasting, as might be attested Ly the fact that two largo bowls of punch mixed with sliced lemons wore emptied be- fore the carriages wore allowed to move on. Aund now 1 am sitting at the ban- quet table,most lavishly and tastefully deco- rated wita How. and oruamental towers built by the confoctioner, Along the center of the festive board a telegraph line was planted, the miniature poles were entwined with evergreens and the two wires on the cross arm connected with keys and sounders that drew their vitality from a local battery which had been placed under the table. A rattling and entertaining conversation in the jargon known only to the sound operator was kept up all along tho line, It was a distinguished compuny and cosmopolitan to say the least. At the head of the table sat® Major Plum, of Chicago, vresidgent of the United States army telegraphers, and Charles vlor, president of the Ola-Timers. Immeaiately on my left sat a spare, middle n with full beard close o uburn hair, bright dark oyes. and literary cast of countenance. This quiet and non-combative looking person, like Byron’s hiero, “as mild a muannered man as evercuta throat or scuttled ship,” was nono other than the famous confederate general, Bazil Duke, the most dashing aud daring of Morgan's raiders. General Duke is an eminent lawyer and occupies the relation to the Louisville & Noshville railroad which John M. Thurston holds to the Union Pa- cific. Opposite me sat a man of medium height, compuotly ouilt, with grey beard trimmed within half an inch of his rather florid face and with grey eyes and a very slight covering of grey hair on a round head. “This rather dignified and reserved person was General Don Carlos Buell. On the other side of bim was a Kentucky judge with a clean shaven face and faultioss dress suit. Interspersed hera and there between the { telegraph men wero members of the Com- w 1 ctub and their ladies There was music and singing and specch-making, until long after the midnight bour, but by the time the clock bad turned half past eleven 1 was 1 a sieccping car berth bound for Nashville and Chattanoog: . ROSEWATER A TEKRRIBLE LEAP, Daring Keat of an Acrobat With Nearly Faral esults, REAL, Que., Sept. 16, —Several thou- persons assembled at Sohmer park Sunda, as it had been anaounced that Buptiste Prinand would dive from & tower 150 feet hign into o net suspended ten feet from the ground. Shertly before 4:30 o'clock obat ascended the tower, & temporary wooden structure. A few seconds ufter he had gained the top a shriek of hor- ror arose from the spectators as he was seen 1o hurl himself heaa foremost down toward the net, under which half a do: men had been deputed to hold a sheet of tarpauline. Mox’ sand Ina brief space of time Prinaud wus seen 1o’ strike the net. There was a aull, breaking souna, and 1 next that was scen of the acrobut ho was lying motionless on the earth, The et had n away and the men who should have held the tarpaulin had failed to doso. As Prinaud lay still it was feared he had nade his st le but on being hetpod to his feet, he with assistance staggered into the hotel in o dazed kind of a way.

Immediately afterward Prinaud appoared ut a window in tae Lotel, tooking very palo and was loudlze. cheered by the crowd.
