BETWEEN Arthur and Vveoman for chief the locomotive engineers of the west are a unit for the latter. He represents the progressive element of the order, and under his leadership the brotherhood would be strengthened in membership and become closely allied with kindred labor societies. A NormilERN Towa genius comes out with what he claims to be an original contrivance for burning fircguards and * limiting the destructive force of prairvie fires. The idea is ncither novel nor original. It has been in use for years on various western railroads to destroy weeds and grass along the right-of- way. A rugse of ten thousand dollars is offered for a copy of the paper contain- ing a deseription of Drowbough’s talk- g machine or telephone, printed be- tween 1870 and 1876, The issue of the suit to annul the Bell telephone patent < will turn on the discovery of this paper. I1 it is found, one of the richest monop- _olies of the country will receive a stag- gering bhlow, THeRE is a mistaken impression abroud that the registration law re- quires o voter to be a resident of a pre- cinet for one year. This is due to a misconscention of the provision regard- ing the swearing in of votes. That pro- vision requires that the two freeholders « certifving to the qualifications of a voter must be residents of the precinct “for ot least one year. It does not apply 10 the residence of the voter as provided in the state constitution. TuE exports of beef, hog and dairy products for the eleven months ending with September,amounted to a fraction over ninety-one million doliars, an in- creuse of twenty millions over the same period of 1888, The value of exported daivy products for the last five months was cight million dollars, These fig- ures show that the American farmer, with labor saving apphiances, is rapidly overcoming the cheap labor and crude methods of Europe, and forcing a su- werior article of food on the consumers of the old world. — TiE man who has done more to make the school board a partisan machine, with its inside riogs and its brokerage in juuitorehips and contracts, is William Coburn. It is muinly because the people of Omaha were alarmed over the meth- ods of the school board combine that the bonds for new school houses were voted down last spring, and hundreds of children are either kept out of school nltogether or huddled in fire-traps and store houses that had to be rented by the board for temporary school houses. Mr. Coburn has made it a study to obli- gate the employes of the schools, und they are oxpected to pay their debt hy actiye work in the present campaiga. Those who want to divorce our public schools from polities caunot afford to vote for Mr, Coburn, If Mr, Coburn wants viudication he must seek it atthe hands of those who waut pot-house poli- Liciuns 1o run the schools. FALSE REPRESENTATIONS. The democrats of Towa are more than usually fertile this year in misrepre- sentations and false pretenses, Among the first was the statement early in the campaign that there was a formidable revolt, conntenanced by Governor Lar- rabee, against Senator Allison. The governor goon disposed of this, so far as he was concerned, and the effort to find any defection among the farmers against the sonator having failed, it was supposed that this misreprosontas tion was forever silenced. Yet the Towa' corvespondents of democratic papers outside of the state ave still harping on it and cudgelling their brains to find plausible reason for the nssumed opposition. The conclusive evidence against them is that Senator Allison continues to draw large audiences wherever he speaks, and to be received with nn enthusiasm quite equal to that accorded him in the past. If ho has any enomies of influence in the republican ranks of Towa, as charged, they are keeping very quiet, and 80 far as can be secn Senator Allison never stood more firmly in the con- fidence of the party than he docs at this time, Another misrepresentation was that Governor Larrabee sympathized with the attuck on Mr. Hutchison, the re- publican candidate for governor, by the president of the Farmers’ Alliance, and the democrats glibly proclaimed that the governor did not dare publicly en- dorse tutchison. Again they suffered discomfiture, the published letter of the governor being an explicitand unquali- fied endorsement of Mr. Hutchison, who is spoken of as ‘‘an able, high-minded, conscientious man,” in whom the governor says he has “perfect faith and confldence.” The at- tempt to throw doubt upon the sincerity of this endorsement must fail with all fairv-minded men. There is not a sen- tence in it that can be so perverted as to show that it is not throughout an ex- pression of the governor’s honest opin- ions. These misrepresentations of the Towa democrats have not been more conspic- uous than the false protenses and mis- leading arguments of their loaders,and particularly of their candidate for gov- ernor, regarding the leading issues in the campaign. It is not complimentary to the intelligence of the farmers of Towe to assume that any considerable number of them can be attracted to the support of the democratic ticket by any such obviously specious and absurd ar- guments as Mr. Boies has employed. The democrats of lowa are playing a more desperdte game this year than ever before, and they are consequently less disposed than ever before to deal fairly and honestly with the people. Nothing better was to have been ex- pected when they took a turn-coat re- publican, who had never before at- tained any political prominence, as their leader, but while their methods may draw to them a few disaffected ve- publicans and mislead to their subport some who will not take the trouble to seriously and intelligently consider their false pretenses, it cannot be be- lieved that the people of Towa are pre- pared to turn over the control of the state to 2 reactionary party that has never shown any disposition to build up American institutions A CALL FOR HELP, An mvestigation into the conditidn of the drought stricken setilers of west- ern Minnesota and North Dakota repre- sents thousands of people to be abso- lutely destitute on the threshold of winter. A committes of the St. Paul chamber of commerce reports that there ave in the neighborhood of two thousand families without the necessaries of life, and that immediate help is needed to vrescue many of them from starvation. The greatest destitution prevails in Marshall county, Minnesota; Ram- sey, Nelson and Walsh counties, North Dakota, and in Miner, Lake, Sanborn and Beadle counties, South Dakota. A majority of the furm- ers of these counties lost a large share of tho crop of 1888 by reason of early frosts, and were compelled to morvgage their honsehold effects and implements to secure seed and put in a crop last spring. The contibuous drought of last summier destroyed the crop and with it their hopes of recovering from the blight of the previous year. Without clothing or food sufficient to carry them through winter, without feed for stocl., and with money lenders pressing them for their pound of flesh, their condition appeals for practical sympathy from the people of the west. The St. Paul chamber of commercs has taken the initiative in a general movement to relieve the distress, and has organized for a systematic collee- tion of funds, clothing and food. Ad- joining cities are following this good example, and every city in the west is urgently requested to co-operate. Omaha and Nebraska will doubtless he asked to lend a helping hand., Our peonle should not wait for the invita- tion, but give a share of their abund- ance at once to alleviate the sufferings of their less fortunate neighbors on the north, CONTROL OF FOREST By o practically unanimous vote, the Forestry congress, in session at Phila- delphia last week, exprossed itself in favor of legislation for the move thor- ough control and protection of forests by the government. Resolutions were adopted petitioning congress to pliss an act withdrawing temporarily from sale all distinetively forest lands belonging to the United States, aud providing for their protection, suthorizing the em- ployment of the army, if necessary, for this purpose, until a com- mission to be appointed by the presi- dent shall have made such examina- tions of the forests in the public domain as shall be necessary for determining what regions should be kept perma- nently in forests, and shall have pre- sented a plan for & permanent, syste- matic national forest administration. Legislation of this kind was recom- mended by the secrctaries of the inte- rior under the last administrations and proposed in the last and preceding ocongresses, but so little do the legisiators in congress under- stand the necessity of protecting the forests agaiust devastation and destrue- tion, or 8o great is their indifference to the matter that' nothing has been ac- complished. Mr. Hinton, of the geological survey, ia supporting the resolutions offered in the Forestry congress said that he had traveled fourteen thousand miles with the senate committee on irrigation, in- cluding two thousand among moun- tains with smoke so dense that the hills could not be seen. The committee had examined one hundred per- sons on the subjects, and not more than three of them were opposed to govern- ment control and protection of the for- osts. The opposition to such protec- tion, he said, comes from cattlemen and lumbermen, not from settlers. The tes- timony of all who have impartially in- vestigated this master isuniformly in favor of some such legislavion as the Forestry congress has recommended, while the statistics of the enormously wasteful destruction of the forests by plundering lumbermen, and tho loss by forest fires make a most con- vineing argument as to the necessity of more thorough and effcient protec~ tion. The observations of the senate committee on irrigation, and the testi- mony taken by it regarding the for- ests, which it is to be supposed will be incorporated in the committee’s report 10 the senate, ought to have great in- fluence with congress, and more com- prehensive and serviceable legislation on this subject may reasonably be ex- pected. THE JUDICIAL CONTEST. Some papers published outside of this district ave trying to put their oar into our judicial contest. One of these ignor- ant meddlers goes so far as to charge that Mr. Clarkson has a strong demo- cratic leaning, and it gabbles about the broken compact between democrats and republicans. Up till now nobody has ever suspected Mr. Clarkson of demo- cratic proclivities. He has always been a straight republican, and sometimes a little too straight for THE BEE. There is no broken compact between the two parties on the nomination of judicial candidates. There never has been any compact to break. Three years ago Judge Groff and his associates on the present bench were elect- ed on the non-partisan issue. Three of them, and the late Mr. Stowe were recommended by the bar. The democratic convention decided to abide the choice of the bar. But the repub- lican convention, led by roustabouts, refused to endorse Groff and the other bar nominees except Judge Hopewell. The death of Mr. Stowe during the campaign caused the substitution of Judge Doane. The outcome was the defeat of the republican candidates and election of Groff, Hopewell, Wake- ley and Doane. This is historic and cannot be gainsaid. 1f the present judicial canvass in this district was only a personal contest be- tween Judge Davis and Mr. Clarkson, there would be no necessity for discuss- ing the issue. Both are republicans and both are qualified for the district bench. But there is a principleinvolved in this campaign which cannot be lost sight of, no matter how ingeniously lawyers can befog the people with their quibbles. The citizens of this district cannot hope to enforce the election of a non- partisan judiciary solong as they abide by the dictum of the party machine. It does not matter whether that machine is republican or democratic. If non- partisan candidates for judgeship must secure a nomination at the hands of the ward strikers and heelers who for the most part make up our party conventions, they descend from the high plane on which the citizens of this district have placed the judiciary, and become simply common political hacks. No man will be able to get the nomination of two party conventions unless he trains with the gang. If the citizens of this district go back on the principie of a non-partisan jud- feiary in the present campaign they practically return to the old method of fighting it out on strict party lines. Such a fight two years hence would in- ovitubly result in a repetition of the yellow-dog business of 1886. It is estimated that twenty thousand Indinns will be entivled to vote at the next presidential election. Only those Tudians who 1 o allottments of land in severalty become voters, so that the change will be gradual, but the distribution of this vote wili be a mat~ ter of some interest to the politicians of both parties. The question is, will this vote be thrown solidly or will it be divided? Will the Indian do his own political thinking and vote as he thinks, or will he be a float- ing quantity, to be picked up and used by whichever party offers the best terms? Some of them, undoubtedly, will make party af- filiations and adhere to them, but it is quite probable that a majority of them will be found with the party that offers the most desirable bargain. The av- erage Indian of to-day, when he learns that he has a value at the hallot box, will not hesitate about looking up s purchaser. Ir is probable that within en- other year Arbor day will have be- come a national institution, in the sense of being observed in all the states and territories. During the past year the day has beea legalized in Mary- land, Texus, Arizous, Washington, Tennessee and New York, making vhirty-dix states and territories where it is observed. Of the Atlantic states only Virginia and the Carolinas stili hoid aloof from observing such a day, and in the soutn only Arkaysas, Louis- ianaand Mississippi. New York, the last northern state to adopt Arbor day, is foremost now in the support given it, while Pennsylvania has two days in the vear, one in the spring and ouve in the fall, devoted to tree planting. Thus has this most useful Nebraska idea been extended to nearly every state in the uwion, with a ocertainty of becoming within & short time a national obsery- ance. S— TaosE who imagine that Hill over- shadows Cleveland in the affections of the New York democracy do not look beueath the surface. It is a significant fact that Cleveland has been present at nearly every convertion, meeting or - banquet in fhe Empire state, and the ghttering generalities and politieal epigrams in which he indulges catch the bourbon oar. Unless there is a radical change of sentiment between now and '92 Cleveland will overwhelm Hill in the contest for the state delega- tion.

The Demana r Tariff Revision, Washington Press, Mr. Biaive is reported as saying that it would be the *wiscst stroke of policy for the republicans in both houses to unite, as soon as congress convénes, upon a bill designed to meet the popular demand for tariff revision without disturbing the welfare of any es- pecial industry.” This is precisely what ought to be done. It wil nov be an easy task to frame a tarift bill that will satisfy all interests, but the country will look to the Fifty-first congtess for good and prompt work in this connection. i SFATE AND TERRITORY.

HER HEART EMBALMED IN WINE, A Remarkable Custom of the Middle Ages Recalled. A strange and remarkable pageant, recalling vividly to mind the customs of the middle ages, took place here on Saturday last, writes a Munich corre- spondent of the New York Tribune. At the time of the death of the Queen Mother, which occurred some three months ago, her heart, in accordance with the traditional usage of the royal house of Bavaria, was removed from the body previous to the embalming of the latter, and was placed in a magnifi- cent silver-gilt urn, specially made for the purpose, and filled with spirits of wine. Karly on Saturday last the urn was conveyed with much pomp and cer- emony to Alt-Otting, a lovely spot about half an hour’s ride by rail from here, where it was placed in the aucient chapel of our Lady of Mercies. This sacred edifice, which is famed for pos- sessing & picture of the Holy Virgin brought from the Orient in the seventh century, and asserted to be endowed with miraculous properties, occupies one side of the small market place of the picturesque lit- tle town. In the niches of its chancel wall are placed the urns con- taining the hearts of all the kings, queens, dukes, duchesses, princes and vrincesses of the House of Bavaria since the foundation of the Wittelsbach dynasty, long centuries ago. As goon as the procession started from the All Saints church, as the court chapel here at Munich is called, the bells of the cathedraland of all the churches of the city began to toll, lags were lowered to half mast and minute guns were fired. The military governor of the capital himself was in command of the immense escort, and the urn, draped with crape, was borne by the venerable dean of the court chapel, who was seated in a splendid stage coach, drawn by six milk white horses. All the gorgeous gilt carvings and orna- ments of the carringe, as well as the lighted lanterns thereof, were shrouded with emblems of mourning, while the horses were almost hidden from view by heavy black vel- vet and silver trappings. The grand officers of the royal household and the cabinet ministers who took part in the procession were arrayed in full court dress, gold embroideries and sword hilts being covered with crape. At the Western railroad station the urn was borne to the special train, which stood in readiness, all the troops presenting arms and the oflicials baring their heads as it passed up the platform to the royal carriage. Punctually at 9 o'clock the special train steamed into the little station of Neu-Otting. A procession was at once formed, court carriages, together with aregiment of cavalry and two battal- ionsof infantry for servize as escort having been sent from the capital a few hours earlier. As at Munich, thedean, bearing the queen’s heart, rode in a state carringe and six, which proceeded at a foot pace till the parish church, an rreat antiquity and much beauty, was reached. On alighting the dean was received by the bishop of the diocese, the abbot of the monastic order intrusted with the guardianship of the lady chapel and the clergy of the parish. After having incensed the urn, the bishop and the at- tendant priests marched, while the aling forth the moving strains of Chopin’s funeral anthem, up the aisle to the high altar, the dean following with the heart under a pur- ple and gold baldaquiu, borne by the leading citizens of Alt-Otting, who have possessed the privilege of performing that duty from time immemorial. On reaching thealtar the ura was placed on the *‘castrum dolorosis,” and the grand ofticers of the royal househoid. General Count Pappenheim and Durckheim Montmorin at th took up their places in a semi J around the eatafaique. At the foov of the lutter, which was almost hidden by wreaths of fragrant flowers, with ta- bourcts, on the purple velvet cushions of which were placed the dead queen’s crown, her orders and the various em- blems of the royalty which had been hers in life. Standing beside the *‘castrum dolorosis,” the dean delivered over the urn to the bishop with the fol- Jowing touching words: “My Lord Bishop: We are commis- sioned by his royal highness the prince nt to deliver into your safe keeping surt of her late majesty, Que of Bavaria, in order that, in cordance with the traditions of the n house of Bavaria, it may find its last resting place before the high aitar in the chapel of Our Lady of Alt- Otting beside the hearts of her hus- band, King Maximilian IL., and of her son, King Louis IL. Your iordship kuew this he when it was still alive, and were acquainted with the sulferin gs and sorrows which it was called upon to undergo. But your lordship can also bear witness to the patience with which it endured all its trials; ' w0 the deep piety and faith which so dis- tinguished it, and, above all, to the great love which it bore for the Bava- rian country and people. It has been a noble and pious heart—+this heartof our never-to-be-forgotten Queen Marie, The rest which was denied to this heart in life it will find in the holy Chapel of Our Lady here; and may in the other world that sovely tried hoart be granted, through the grace of the Mother of Mercies, the everlasting peace of God.” A requiem was then sung and the urn sprinkled with holy water and gol- emnly blessed by ihe bishop, after wllh-f‘]’ the heart was borne once more in procession through the streets and across the market place to the Chapel of Our Lady, where it was placed by the abbot in the niche which had been pre- pared for it. LINCOLN NEWS AND GOSSIP. John MoAllister's Will on Contest Before Judge Stowart. INSANE OR NOT THE QUESTION. Guy A.

Ono witness, a physivian, testified that he had been acquainted with McAllister for over a dozen years, had waited on him_ pro- fessionally and that he considerod him hope- lossly insane. There wasa sameness in tho ~ testimony introduced to-day. It all went to ostablish one fact, insanity.

There are few people who have trav- eled throughout Europe with the spec- ial intention of ovserving the customs prevailing in each country at funer; W. R. Speare, the F strees undertak in Washington, has made several trips across the water with this special ob- jbet, and it is probable that he will make another visit there for the same purpose next year. A Post reporter the other evening. *The American customs in conduct- ing funerals,” eays he, “are, in my opinion, far in advance of those of K rope. They are simpler, shora of the many useless customs that ave in vogue abroad, and. what is especially desir- able among the Americuns, are in the hands of the family of the dead, who in Europe geuerally have but little to say about what shall be done or what the style or expense of the ceremony shall be. “The most interesting of ali the Fu- ropean countries in this respect is France, There, the funeral, as is also the cuse in Italy, is taken charge of by the government upon the death of a person until he has been laid away in the cemetery. Pavis is the great cen- ter in which these things are most prominently seen. When a d eath is re ported 1o the police .they ~af_ once notify the proper government officials. There is a bureau in Paris lo which all such matters are referred. It occupics the largest building I have ever seen and employs & force of clerks greater than are in our postofiice departinent. ““This bureau, having taken charge of the matter, are at noloss in finding at once the social relations and wealth of the deceased, and according to the lat- ter a funeral 15 ordered, These ave divided into eleven classes, the first costing over $,000, the others graded down until they reach the tenth class, for which 812 1s charged, the eleventh and last boing the pauper’s funeral and at government exponse. 'he house ocoupied by the corpse is draped inside and outside, the frien of the dead having no power to_ control in any particular these proceedings exe cept that the embalming of the corpse is optional and costs $500. “The frionds of the deceased may be rich or poor, and may desire either to curtail the expense or give a mora costly burial, but their power is of no avail, Generally the caskets of France may be said to be flimsay, usually being covered with drapery. The casket used for the poorest class is about as strong asa cigar box. The 2 paid for this ceromony gives the use of a hearso which has a compartment for the casket, behind which there is room for about four persons to ride. “The undertakers are employed by the government and are militar, cors’ who usually rank as a major or captain, the rank, of course. differing for the various grades of fonerals. Thoy are dressed in black velvet, woar cock- ades and swords, and have a good deal of gold lace to their muaiforms. Tho funeral being over, a bill is rendered,” and payment sought through a govern- ment officer of the particulac place in whieh the death occurred. 1t must boe vaid, or the goods of the decoased are attached. This bureau 1s the source of a considerable revenue to the Irench nation, and it is not permissible for any one else to undertake to engage in tho work of burying the dead. “‘In Italy the government also mo- nopolizes this business, dividing the business provided into eleven classes, Iu the latter country the decorations and everything used in the ceremony are black. The custom is varied in Italy only in the cases of children, for whom white hearses are provided, the corpse being followed by a procession of little girls dressed in white, carrying candles and singing as they pass along the streots. There arve some elegant funerals at Rome, but those styled tirst- class cost about 83,000 or more. “The country of hired mourners is England. There the heaviest drapery prevails, while the ‘funcral cars,’as they aro called, in which the caskets are carried, are immense vehicles, exceed- i our omnibuses. Many of them 4,000, The mourners that are hired follow the hearse, and are very noisy in their pretended grief, The hearse and the four horses drawing it are black. A lantern is carried on each corner of the ‘funeral car.’ *‘Many of the caskets of Russia aro the finest that arc made. They are of metal, and one Isaw in St. Petersburg cost $3,600. The hearse of Russia is even larger than_ that of Eugland, the floor on which the casket rests being about seven feet from the ground. There, nlso, the neaviest drapery pre- vails. In England, Germany and Rus- sia the funeral of the dead is carried on by private individuals, with the excep- tion that in Russia the work of the em- balmer is in the handsof the govern- ment. There, as generally throughout Turope, it costs $500 to embulm a body, the process being, as is supposed, that of the Egyptians, and is held a secret. o al e Soue oy Millei’'s Homestead Sold. The steamer La Bourgogne which has just brought here the famous painting y Miller, “L’Angelus,” says a New York dispatch, also brought the Pars papers relating how the great artist's family have been compelled to evacuate their home where Millett executed his mastorpiece, . The house stood in a small village or hamlet, Barbizon, in the forest of Fontainebleau, near Paris, and which was colonized almost exclu- sively by artists. The pulling down of Millet’s old home the work of an un- sentimental and greedy woman. But two other women are rendering at the same time a touching homage to his genius by purchasing, at a price nearly as big as that paid by Americans for the “Angelus,” three celebrated paint- ings of Millet, which they have given to the Paris Louvre Museum. Shorthand 2,000 Years Old. According to a paper read before tho recent meeting of the Library associa- tion, shorthand has flourished more or less for 2,000 years. Cicero’s famous writer, Tiro knowun to have had rivals in his own time, and Cwmsar’s feats in dictating several 1 simul- taneously while traveling still remain unequalied. But shorthand, s now un- derstood, is the product of the present century. It is computea that the liter- ature relating to the subject would fill no fewer than 13,000 volumes, and Eng- land alone has given birth to 307 differ- ont systems. A Marbie Us a wonderful cav P.
