But if the corpse of the dead man should conclude to deliver the body to the proper authorities, the reward of- fered could go toward defraying the funeral expenses. THE race between the Counsolidated and the Motor in building to South Omaha is not very swift. The Motor would have been in South Omaha by this time if its controling interest was not in the bands of Union Pacific mag- nates. It is not to be expected that they should compete with the Union Pacific dummy trains until they ave obliged to. Tue New York Giaphic, the afteruoon pletorial paper, which for years has oc- cupred a prominent place among the leading journals of the cast, has sus- pended publication. Its decline v sulted from the fact that daubs and pic- toral abortions can be had in the one and two-cent New York dailies and ar- tistic illustrations could not be had in the (Yraphic. Tik movement for another electrical railway connection with Council Bluffs by way of the Union Pacific bridge is not likely to succeed. The leading men of the company are too largely inter- ested in the wagon bridge to diminish their profits from that source for a tri- fling rental. Boston will quietly veto the scheme unless they want to check- mate tho construction of a free bridge. ‘Wg ARE heartily in accord with the Republican in its double-leaded appeal for the immediate establishment of atarch factories in Omaha, Its fond ex- pectations to see all the corn raised in Nebraska convorted into starch have a tloge of emotional insanity. All the starch and glucose factories in Amer! “would not consume one-tenth of this year’s corn crop, even if they double their capacity., And if we had factories enougb to convert all this corn into starch, where would we get the people t0 buy the starch. ——— Tue talk about glucose factories being profitable investments is drivel. Seven years ago the mania for glucose facto- vies spread from the Catskills to the Rookies, ably engineered by bonus hunters masked as public benefactors. What was the result? A series of mag: niticent buildings, lurid promises and poor performances. They were highly ornamentul and exceedingly useless. It is notnecessary to go beyond Lowa for conspicuous instances of glucose frauds. We want factories that stand a reasou- able show of success, not mouumental fuilures. TWO REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS. The republicans of New York and Massachusetts heid conventions Wednesday and nominated candi- dates for state officers. New York aoes not elect a governor and lieutenant governor this year, but Massachusetts ohooses o full state ticket. ventions appear to have been enthusi- astic and confident of republican sue- cess in November. The chairman ot the New York convention smd that reported disputes and contro- versies among republicans exist only in the imagination of the enomy. This statement of the situntion is reas- suring.. That there has been some dis- affection, however, is not to be doubted, though it has been much exaggerated. The problem presented to the national administration by the situation it found in New York had many difficulties, but there is reason to believe that most of these have been overcome and that the party s now well to- gether, It has been sad that ex-Sena- tor ‘Warner Miller was disposed to sulk and might cause the party some trouble, but his uniform fidelity to the interests and cause of the party in the past for- bids belief that he will now be found unfaithful to it. So loyal a soldier in republican ranks will hardly sulk in his tent even in this off year. The vepublican party of New York will need svery man in order to win., Besides bat- tling against the demoeracy, it will have to fight the liquor interests and the prohibitionists, which are practi- cally allied in opposition to the republi- can policy of high license. The liquor dealers will dictate the democratic can= didates and support them, while the prohibitionists will put forth extraor- dinavy efforts to draw voters from the republicans. In Massachusetts there has been a vory avdent contest between the sup- portersof Lieutenant Governor Brackett and ox-Congressman Crapo, resulting in the choice of the former as candi- date for governor. It was said 1n advance of the convention vhatthe nom- ination of either of these contestants viould result in a more or less serions republican disa ffection. In view of the character of the struggle that has been waged this is not to be regarded as improbable, but the republicuns of Massachusetts can stand a considerable disaffection and still succeed. When it is considered, however, that Mr. Crapo still has political ambition it is reasonable to expect that he will notdo anything to embarrass or endanger hi party at this time. He will doubtless set o proper example to his supporters by accepting the situation and going to work to keep the party in line and elect the ticket. This is a poor year for political plat- forms. They are for the most part con- structed of platitudes that are “‘stale, flat and unprofitable.” The most im- portant respect it which the New York and Massachusetts platforms agree is in sustaining the policy of civil ser- vice veform. Certain republicans who have taken a pronounced position against the reform will read a rebuke in the demand of the New York convention for the ‘*‘purification and elevation of the civil service,” and in the declaration of the Massachusetts platform commending the president’s civil service policy, and pledging the support of the Massachusetts vepub- licans to root out, the evil of patronage. The New York republicans take an un- qualified stand for protoction, while those of Massachusetts ask for a revis- ion of the tariff 50 as to adopt the pro- tection which it affords to the changed business conditions affecting New Eng- land industries, There is thus given most significantexpression of the change of sentiment among the republicans of New England regarding the tariff, the effect and influence of which will not be confined to that section. VIEWS OF VETERAN The vension office and its affairs still make a demand upon public attention. Nor will that demand end when the president shall have secured a successor to Commissioner Tauner. The new commissioner will be expoacted to re- form the practices of* the pension office in important respeets, and h will bo carcfully watched. more, congress will be expected to give thovough consideration to this service with a view to vroviding legisla- tion that will obviate a recur- rence of the objectionable practices that brought about the existing situa- tion of affairs. While the aiscussion of pensions is ) in interest, 1t is well to note the opinions of two veterans whose views are worthy of the highest considera- tion, both from old soldiers and others. These are General Martin P. McMahon and General M. M. Trumbull, Both entered the army when the war of the rebellion opened and both attained dis- tinetion as able and gallant soldiers. In a recent published communication General McMahon expressed the opin- 10n that the sentiment in favor of uni versul pensions is largely manufac- wred, and that it gains a factitious strength from the silence of men who disapprove, but do not say so bocause they do not wish to be abused, Te said the prevailing sentiment of the Grand Avmy, if it could be properly asver- tawed, would be found to be simply that the government should comply with the implied contract made with the men who entered the service in 1861 by giving liberal pensions to those who were actually disabled, and to the widows of the dead soldiers who are in need, Neither the goverpment nor the people, said General McMahon, “ever undertook to do more than this,and the talk about pensioning every mau, with- out refercnce to his physical disability orhis condition in life, is carried to an absurd excess by many peo- ple who claim to represent the Grand Army.” He held that there should be legislation suspending pensions to those who receive a sufficient income to en- able them to live independeatly, such persons to rewain on the roll of honor as peusioners and their pensions to be resumed in the cvent that they should become reduced in circumstances. Gea- eral McMahon said the pension legisla- tion asked for now, if eanncted, will very greatly exceed any estimate thus far Both con- | made, and he believed would exceed the entiro cost of the war. General Trumbull aiscusses the sub- joct in the Ootober number of the Pop- ular Seience Monthly, presonting an av- ray of statistics which ought to be very effective with those who are willing to regurd the practical side of the pension question. General Trumbull is even more pronounced than General Mc- Mahon in opposition to universal pen- sions, and in unmeasured terms con- demns the sweeping and indiscrimi- nate policy which has found numerous champions, in and out of congress. These honest and candid expressions of old soldiers who are entitled to the respect and confidence of all old sol- diers, ought to have great weightin quarters where they are most nevded to corvect wrong views regarding what is required for a pension service that shall be generous to the proper beneficiaries of the nation and notunjust to the whole or any portion of the people. NO DOBLIN GRANITE. THE BEE has no desire to meddle with the erection of the city hall, and is as anxious as anybody can be to have that building pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. Theve has been delay enough already and the citizens of Omaha are not in a mood to counte- nance any controversy that will delay the building even for a single day. But we do not want to see the city hall building a source of scandal and jobbery. There has been enough of that already. The attempt of Paul Van- dervoort to lobby through the Doblin stone is liable to ereate a greater scan- dal than the county hospital job. Nobody contendssthat Doblin stone is not in every way equal in quality to other granites. The color of Doblin stone is, however, notsuited for the pro- posed city hall building. Its adoption would compel the use above it of a light-colored stone which would detract from the beauty of abuilding finished in rock-face. Whatever may be the opin- ion of members of the building com- mittee or the council, the best archi- te and builders all agree that a dark granite should by all means be used for the base of the city hall. SEND IN YOUR COMPLAINTS. Frequent complaints reach THe B from passengers on trains and from res- idents of towns in this section, that it is impossible to get a copy of Tue Bre from resident news agents and train newsboys. The claim set up by the lat- ter is: ‘*All sold;"—and then other Omaha papers ave offered instead. In some instances, when the would-be pur- chaser insists on getting a copy of Tir BEE, it is forthcoming, but train news Dboys deal them out sparingly, and when their supply is about exhausted it is their practice to force other Omaha papers on passengers who would not buy any other than THE Beg if it could be had. Tui BEE urges upon everybody the importance of making complaint to this office upon failure to get Tie BEE of s dealers and newsboys. There is no reason why u full supply should not be kept for all demands. senatorial contest in North Dakota is regarded as settled so far as one of the candidates, ex-Governor Pierce, is concerned. He is apparently the unanimous choice of the republi- cans of the new state, every legislative convention having instructed for him. Pierce was formerly from Indiana and is a close friend of President Harrison. He was appointed to the governorship of Dakota in 1883 by President Arthur, and became exceedi popular, showing admirable in harmonizin the disordant political elementsin the territory. He is a lawyer and has had experience in journalism. If elected, of which there appears to be no doubt, he will most creditably represent North Dakota in the senate. The contest for the other senatorial seat is between ex-Governor Ovdway, of Dakota, and General Allen, formerly of Pennsylvania, with - the chances believea to be most favorable to the success of the latter. Tue Iowa railroads have ignored a number of questions put to them by Governor Larrabee as a member of the state railway commission. The governor has placed the matter the hands of the attorney general, and proposes to teach the insolent corporations that the commission is a thing to be respected. The result of the contest will have an important bearing on the future rela- tions betwoen the people and the rail- roads in the west. THE senatorial irrigating commit- tee have alveady spent forty-six days and traveled ten thousand miles in the pursuit of facts bearing on this import- ant subjec The members have so far made no intimation of how they regard the problem ov indicated what they will recommend, but it is believed by many authorities who have given the matte considerable thought that the reservoir system will be recommended. What- ever the conclusion reached, the peonle west of the Missouri are deeply inter- ested, SPAIN desires to connect herself with Cuba by cable, and as there is alveady a line luid from the former country to the Canary Islands it will not be much of an undertaking to further extend it to Cuba, The building of cables has now become quite & common affair, but in this instance the fact affords evidence of anew departure in Spain's methods of doing busines: ’. .

T HITS AND MISSES, The colored peoplo of Omaha are figuring on starting a newspaper to further their in- torests. The new organ will present their views in black and white, where they may be read. There is an opinion current that if Omaha owned her own gasworks she would be abundantly able to meter exponses. The manner in which the Omaha team de~ featod the St. Pauls Wednesday shows a dis- position on their part to not only down thewr opponents, but to add a gentle kick to tho victory.

Mike Leo and his friends discovered sev- eral days ago, 80 they declare, that Piper was devoting more time than he ought to log-rolling for Coburn, and they made com- plaints caleulated to shut him off, Coburn is protesting also against the “Jocality” argument, which, he thinks, is mora injuricus to him than eitber that or the third term handle.

About two vears ago ho married a Bohomian girl, the daughter of a farmer near Crete, and they have a nice little home in this cit Anton fs vetween thirtytwo and thir- ty-five years of age, and the woman I think, at least forty-five. There 1s hardly any doubt but that he was inveighled into a marriage with this woman, who is ten or twelve years his senior, when but a mere boy. From what I canlearn sheo has a temper like a virago, and she croated a little heli on earth while he lived with her. At last putience and forbearance ceased to bo a virtue, and he left, telling her that as he could not live with her in peace he would not live with lier at all. Now that she has followed him to Lincoln, she will, doabtless, endeavor to make his life as miserable as possible. No suit has been commenced, as has been stated, though she has visited a number of law offlves for that purpos she is penniless, of course she is Lo bo pi but he, also, is entitled to son tion and a fair statement of the Maherie Under Arrest, George Malierle, of the dopot hotel, was arrested at Seattle, W.

James M. Cameron filed s potition in the county court to-day against the Building and Loan association, of Averdeen, Dak. It appears that I3, R. Mescmer, the agent of this company, whom Trr Bre exposed a few weeks ago, figures conspicuously in the case. The petition sets forth that he gave the plaintiff and others anthority, upon the puy- ment of $200, to negotiate loans for the com- pany, for which they were to get. 2 por cent. Plaintiff says that be procared loans to the amount of £10,700, which the company re- fused to accept, and attémbted to nssess fines and penalties upon him, and otherwise fraudulently and falsely attempted to injure him, and he thereforo asks judgment for the money paid to the company as well as the commission.

Funny things develop occasions ally in politics. ‘The letter was written, in all probability, by Hull or some of Hull's friends whon {n a meilow condition." “What's the relative strength of the tespective candidates throughout tho diss rice1" “Ican't say, But the opinion scoms to prevail that Laws is losing strength. Har- an has @ stronger following than most people think, Colonel Wohster is suid to b picking up. As I said bofore, the districty congressionully spoaking, is at sea, Tha result of the contest depends upon the ability of the flold to unite.

The water pipe appears to be a fixture placed theye for he convenicnce of the mortar maker, It is vaised from the sidewalk some two or three inch es, I the day time 1tis easy to seo this pipe, but at night, aud such o dark night as last night, it is undiscornible, Last eveuing my wife almost broke her anile. IHer shoo caught under the pipe and she was thrown, but fortunately, for all concerned, she was not seriously huvt. This morning the sidewalk is fenced 1n al- together, in the same manner that a cross country road is sometimes barricaded, and the pedestrian s practically told o “Gio to thenext corner’ or take tne crowded road- way. Tn poor, old, stupid countries, like England for instance, this kind of thing is not allowed. ‘The contractor or builder is made to feuce ail his material in, and;ouild a good sidswalle around it, so that' people muy pass along the street without danger of being hurt, But in this couatry, and_particularly in Omaha, iy is everybody for himself and the devil o the hindermost.
